"It’s not just for Xiao Nian," Yan Yueqing changed the subject, "My two sons also wanted to buy these a while ago. Once they’re installed tomorrow, all those little guys can watch together."
Mu Tianxing scratched the back of his head, "Well... okay then..."
They were just guests; if the host was buying an astronomical telescope just for them, it would indeed be an unnecessary expense!
But if it were also for the host’s children, they were just basking in their good fortune, and the feeling of guilt wasn’t so heavy.
Mu Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
At that mont, he hadn’t realized the impact it would have on him when those three astronomical telescopes, worth millions, were set up in the garden the next day!
After dinner, Mu Tianxing went back to his room to keep his younger brother company.
Knowing that the Mu brothers were uneasy, Old Master Yan didn’t bother them and had Butler Zhong drive him to Old Bai’s place to play a couple of gas of chess.
Sohow, he also took his two great-grandsons with him under the pretense of, "Haven’t you seen Sister Nuannuan in a long ti? Why don’t we go and say hello?"
Jun Yan really didn’t want to go!
Just as he was about to refuse, Yan Wang took the initiative and pulled his brother into the car, "Alright, we’ll go with Great-grandfather."
Jun Yan was incredulous, "Brother, you—"
"Let’s go, we can et Sister Nuannuan together."
Yan Wang spoke expressionlessly.
For so reason, Yan Yueqing saw a hint of threat in the eye contact between him and Yan Bao.
Jun Yan instantly beca obsequious, "Alrighty~ I’ll go see Sister Nuannuan with my brother and Great-grandfather~ We’ll see Mom later~"
Old Master Yan gave a aningful glance towards Jun Lii standing behind her, "We’ll be back in about an hour."
He thought to himself: Alas... even though my favorite CP has BE’d! But... that doesn’t an there’s no chance of reconciliation, right? Xiao Jun, your rival has moved into your ho, and Grandpa has gone to great lengths to create an opportunity for you to be alone~ You better chase after her!
After the car left, Yan Yueqing finally lowered the hand that had been waving goodbye, frowning deeply.
Jun Lii asked tenderly, "What’s wrong?"
"I don’t know... I just feel like Grandfather was acting strange today..."
Jun Lii also didn’t know what was up with the old man. Could it be that he didn’t like the Mu brothers? But that didn’t seem to be the case...
After a mont of silence, he said, "We’ve just had food, and sitting for too long can lead to indigestion. I’ll accompany you for a walk in the garden."
"Sure," Yan Yueqing was indeed in the mood for a walk.
The sky grew dark, and the setting sun lingered in the corner, casting its last romantic glow.
In the garden full of roses, patches of green grass set off the roses that were a deep shade of red.
In the center of the garden stood an ancient European-style building amidst the flowers.
The top of the building featured a glass do, overwheld by vines of another variety of roses. Standing inside, lifting your head would reveal the sight of blooming red flowers. Though not as passionately large as those outside, they won their place with their exotic fragrance.
Several fountains were scattered in the garden, spraying droplets of water occasionally, adding color to this lush city of flowers.
The two of them walked slowly in the garden, enjoying the leisure and tranquility as if nestled in an Immortal Realm.
When they took a rest in the pavilion, Yan Yueqing finally spoke slowly, "This garden is indeed wonderful. It has beautiful scenery no matter the ti of year."
"Yes," Jun Lii said impulsively, "You’ve always been fond of roses."
"Yes, I’ve always liked them."
Yan Yueqing raised her hand to catch a rose petal falling from the do.
"I rember there’s a small city by the sea called Mandis..." she started slowly, as if recalling mories or testing the waters, "It’s very cold there, greenery is hard to see all year round, but every year in the coldest winter, a pink rose blooms despite the frost. Even if covered in snow, it will still unfold its most beautiful color."
Listening to her, Jun Lii’s heart shook violently!
Yueqing’s words... could it be that she...
Had rembered?
Yan Yueqing turned to look at him, eting his regretful eyes. She had restrained herself from asking a question for a long ti, for various reasons... but now, with a trace of trepidation, she said slowly, "I wonder what Mandis looks like this year?"
Jun Lii’s eyes felt a bit sore.
He took a deep breath, "I promise you, whenever you want to see it... I will accompany you."
Yan Yueqing smiled, just like she had five years ago, her expression gentle to the extre.
In her eyes, there was still a trace of mischievousness.
"Then it’s a deal. This winter, we will take the children to see it together."
Just like five years before, under the setting sun, Jun Lii took her hand, "Okay, we’ll go see it together."
He seed composed on the surface, but his heart was so agitated that he was close to tears!
She was back!
She really was back!
Not only had she returned, but she had also rembered the past! She rembered what she had said to him back at the villa...
God knows what Jun Lii was thinking during this ti!
Ever since his mory had awakened, he had wanted to see her frantically.
He wanted to see her, yet he feared the encounter...
Jun Lii knew that she had co back, and Su Zihu had found her!
But did she still rember the past?
Jun Lii feared that she would look at him with eyes full of strange detachnt, that she would call him Mr. Jun with a chilly indifference.
He feared that she would always forget, yet also feared that she would suddenly rember...
That she would ask in a tone laden with resentnt, "Why is it you?"
Why is it you, not Zihu?
On the day his mory returned, Jun Lii was no longer jealous of Su Zihu.
He deeply understood that the other man was essentially himself!
Just that, one was now, the other the future.
It didn’t matter who Ah Xing loved.
After all, the sacrifices made by Su Zihu were undoubtedly enormous!
Even if he ca back, even if he had to strip away his own consciousness and let the other occupy this body forever, Jun Lii would accept it.
But that didn’t an he could face Ah Xing’s expression of loss with composure.
Yet now, the words she spoke were ones she had once said to him.
What did this prove?
It proved that Ah Xing rembered!
Not only did she rember, but she also didn’t resist him because of Zihu!!!
Had it not been the fear that too much excitent might frighten her, Jun Lii would have wanted to embrace her tightly into his arms right then and there.
Separated for five years...
Thankfully, it was only five years.
If it were ten, twenty years... What tornt that would be?!
The breeze blew gently, and the corners of Jun Lii’s eyes were moist.
Yan Yueqing raised her hand and wiped away the tears for him, then suddenly tilted her head and laughed, "Why are you still like before, always so quick to get teary eyes?"
With that said, Jun Lii could no longer hold back.
Trembling, with utmost care, he embraced her.
"I’ve envisioned many reunion scenarios... Imagined all kinds of misunderstandings, thought that perhaps we’d never et again in this lifeti... I just never thought that our encounter would be so peaceful and natural."
Between them, it was as if no rift had ever existed, chatting lightly about the past, as if it were just yesterday.
Even stripped of their status as lovers, they remained the best of friends, able to live harmoniously together.
