Hello Mr. King

Chapter 603: Nian Zizi

After entering the Cherry Blossom Forest, memorial became somewhat silent.

Yun Xiangxiang followed her down a small path before saying, “You’re the one who wants to see the cherry blossoms here, right?”

Memorial raised her hand and gently touched a shorter cherry blossom. She did not deny it but nodded instead. “Yes.”

After taking a few more steps, she saw that the courtyard was so beautifully maintained. Memorial said to Yun Xiangxiang, “The cherry blossoms here are planted for me.”

Yun Xiangxiang looked at the dense cherry blossoms that were as soft and blooming as colorful clouds. Other than the falling petals, there were no withered branches or leaves on the ground. It was clear how meticulous the daily care was.

“Do you know how the cherry blossoms here came about?”Memorial suddenly asked.

“Didn’t you say it was because of you?”Yun Xiangxiang was a little puzzled.

“It was because of me, but there is a particularly interesting story here.”Memorial seemed to have thought of something particularly funny. He could not help but smile before he told Yun Xiangxiang, “My favorite fruit is cherries. Gu Zaizi was pursuing me back then and confessed to me in different ways every day.

One day, he ran over to me excitedly and said, ‘memorial, you like to eat cherries. I specially opened up a small courtyard at home and planted a lot of cherry trees. From now on, you can eat until you’re full every year!’hahahahaha...”

After saying that, memorial burst into laughter.

Yun Xiangxiang was stunned for a minute before she could not help but burst into laughter.

She pointed at the cherry blossoms all over the tree. “Hahahaha, cherry blossoms... hahahaha... Cherries?”

Keepsake also laughed until he bent down and supported Yun Xiangxiang. “That’s right. Young master Gu actually doesn’t know that cherry blossoms are flowers and cherries are fruits. They’re not the same thing at all. He’s even hoping that after the cherry blossoms die off, they’ll be able to bear cherries.”

Yun Xiangxiang really didn’t expect Gu Zaizi, such a tall and mighty man, to actually have such a silly time. He even happily went to confess to the girl he liked.

“What happened after that?”Yun Xiangxiang inexplicably wanted to know what happened next.

“After that...”keepsake stopped smiling, “After that, I mocked him for a while, but his sincere and cute appearance at that time deeply moved me. No one has ever been as attentive to me as he was. Although it was very silly, it was very warm...”

Later on, they started dating. Although this courtyard and the cherry blossoms in this courtyard had a silly story, it was the beginning of their love.

“I can feel that you still love him deeply,”Yun Xiangxiang said after a moment of silence.

“Nianniz is here, and I forget you every day,”memorial said faintly.

Just today, that person had just said this to her.

Nianniz is here, no days or forgets; from the moment I met you, the only thing that can make me forget you is death.

Suddenly, memorial’s eyes welled up. She pretended to raise her head to look at the cherry blossoms on the branches.

Yun Xiangxiang also felt her sadness and held her hand. “Since we are in love, why do we have to separate?”

Two streams of tears streaked across the corner of her eyes. Memorial touched his face. “I haven’t cried in twenty years. I didn’t even cry when I ran away from marriage six years ago. Only you made me inexplicably stop pretending and want to be weak.”

Yun Xiangxiang reached out to hug memorial and said, “Some people have known each other for decades, but they have only known each other for a short while. Some people only need to see each other for a short while to hit it off. I’m glad that you can trust me.

“If you want to say something to me, I can listen to you quietly. If you don’t want to say anything, I can accompany you quietly.”

“There’s nothing to say.”Memorial pushed Yun Xiangxiang away and she returned to her confident look. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but there’s really nothing to say.”

“Alright, I thought I could satisfy the gossips.”Yun Xiangxiang pretended to be disappointed and sighed.

Memorial didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “What gossips do you want to satisfy?”

“I don’t think I’m curious at all. All the women in Shen City are curious. Why are you so heartless to dump such an impeccable man at the wedding?”Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t trying to probe but telling the truth.

“Impeccable?”Memorial could not believe it. “You Mean Gu Zaizi?”

“Isn’t That So?”In Yun Xiangxiang’s eyes, Song Mian was like that. Gu Zaizi was a man who could compete with Song Mian. Therefore, Yun Xiangxiang also looked at Gu Zaizi like that.

“Hehe...”memorial sneered. “People in the world are bewitched by their skins.”

Yun Xiangxiang did not know how to respond. It was obvious that this was the difference between the two of them.

Yun Xiangxiang and everyone else probably saw the same Gu Zaizi. Only memorial could see his true appearance.

“Can you satisfy my curiosity?”Yun Xiangxiang changed the topic.

“Why do you think so?”Memorial asked instead of answering.

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head gently. “How can I guess? I just feel that Mrs. Gu doesn’t like you.”

Memorial’s face stiffened and suddenly felt a little down. “She used to like me very much... she taught me a lot. If she hadn’t taught me some basic manners and how to deal with people, my road abroad might not have been so smooth.”

Ji Nian’s attitude toward Mrs. Gu was also strange. Yun Xiangxiang had thought that it was casual before, but now it seemed like it was a shame that she couldn’t face.

She had only said a few words about her true feelings, but Ji Nian immediately defended Mrs. Gu and explained for her.

“It was only after I ran away from the marriage that she changed her attitude toward me, but it was only natural.”

She had dumped her precious son and caused the Gu family to lose face at the wedding. She was already very cultured to not speak ill of her. She was already mentally prepared for such an attitude.

As if she had thought of something, memorial speechlessly looked at Yun Xiangxiang and thought, “You’re not imagining that some evil mother-in-law looks down on Cinderella who comes from an ordinary background and tries her best to break up the couple, but I’m that bitter little white flower, right?”

Yun Xiangxiang shook her head like a rattle-drum. She really did not think that way. Although she had not interacted much with Mrs. Gu, Yun Xiangxiang could still sense Mrs. Gu’s cultivation and horizons. She was not that kind of nouveau riche.

“Let’s go. We’ll walk back. It’s about the same time.”Memorial examined Yun Xiangxiang seriously for a while. After making sure that she really did not have such an imagination and did not misunderstand Mrs. Gu, he pulled her out.

Yun Xiangxiang looked at memorial who was pulling her out. Her gaze was especially wistful as it swept past the cherry blossom trees in full bloom.

She pulled her out in a seemingly intimate manner. In fact, she wanted to focus on admiring the scenery so that she could take care of her and not fall down.

However, Yun Xiangxiang did not take care of her. Perhaps she did not realize that she could walk out of this place safely even with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, she had an inexplicable feeling. She felt that memorial had deliberately used this reason to come here. In fact, it was some kind of resolute farewell.
