Chapter 182 If Life Is Just Like First Seen

I bought this gift when I was in France, but I never found a chance to give it to her.

After returning from France, he took it with him everywhere he went.

After seeing her at a charity gala last time, Lin Jinyao thought that this gift would never be given out in this lifetime, but he didn't expect to meet her here today.

Maybe this is God's will!

Although I was very reluctant, I still had to let her go, "Momo, see if you like the gift I gave you."

"Okay." Su Mo took the box, and after opening it, the smile froze on his face, and his eyes suddenly became unnatural.

Inside the black velvet, the diamond exudes a unique and dazzling brilliance.

He even gave her a diamond ring.

"Brother Jin, I can't accept this gift." Su Mo returned the box. This gift is too expensive and not suitable for her current status.

Lin Jinyao looked at the returned box, his expression froze slightly, and then he smiled calmly.

"Momo, I don't mean anything else by giving you this, I just remembered that you have been pestering me to give you a ring before, so..."

"That's different."

Su Mo interrupted him and looked at him seriously, "I used to think that we would get married when we grew up, so I hope you will give me a ring.

But you said that the ring represents a man's promise, and it can only be given when proposing. "

She was right, the ring was seven years late and it made all the difference.

Lin Jinyao compared his eyes fiercely, and asked her: "If I say, I am proposing to you right now, will you agree?
Momo, are you still willing to marry me? "

Whoa!

The coffee cup hit the saucer, and the coffee was poured on the cake, just like Su Mo's mood at the moment.

At that moment, there was a moment of heartbeat, and a voice in my mind said, promise him.

It was as if, seeing the green grassland again.

The girl was wearing a floral princess dress, sitting on a swing in the park, dangling her short white and tender legs, and looking at the boy drawing on the grass.

"Brother Jin, you have to make the paintings beautiful/beautiful!"

Vaguely, the boy's pleasant voice can still be heard, floating in the breeze and drizzle.

click, click.

Why did it suddenly rain?
The girl on the swing raised her head, the rain hit her face, it was so icy and cold.

The world seemed to have lost its sound, and the entire park was suddenly empty. At that moment, a trace of panic crawled through the girl's heart, and she hurriedly jumped off the swing.

She cried helplessly. Her grandfather, her father and mother, her aunt, and her brother Jin were all gone.

The time in my memory seems to stay in that summer forever.

Su Mo's clenched fingers turned white, and she heard herself say three words, "I'm sorry!"

If it was seven years ago, before everything happened, she would have immediately agreed to Lin Jinyao's marriage proposal, because at that time, she dreamed of being his bride.

But now, she is not happy at all.

Obviously he didn't refuse, but it was more cruel than directly refusing.

Lin Jinyao's heart was tightened tightly, and a forced smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Actually, I am the one who should say I'm sorry. If I hadn't forgotten you, we wouldn't be what we are now."

In this matter, it was actually Lin Jinyao who was hurt the most.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Lin would be so extreme. In order to force her son to forget his beloved girl, she even asked someone to hypnotize his memory.

Such Lin Jinyao even made her feel pitiful. Su Mo didn't know how to face him, so she stood up and said, "Brother Jin, I want to go back."

Before that, Lin Jinyao kept his eyes down, his eyes fixed on the rejected box.

After hearing her words, he slowly raised his head, still the gentle and handsome appearance in Su Mo's memory.

With an impeccable smile, he asked politely, "Let's go after lunch! Since you don't want to accept my gift, at least let me treat you to a meal."

Have a meal?Now?
Feeling like she was eating all morning, Su Mo looked down at her watch, and it was already noon. She was going to have dinner with Xiao Nanye earlier.

Thinking of the young master, Su Mo had a headache. He must be angry if he hasn't gone for so long.

"Brother Jin, I really have to go. If we have dinner, next time!" Su Mo really didn't have the courage to look at Lin Jinyao's expression, she knew he must be very disappointed in herself.

Turned to leave, but was pulled by him.

His eyes moved slowly from the overlapping hands of the two until they met his expectant eyes, "It's only today, can't it belong to me?"

Su Mo's heart trembled violently. It was true that Lin Jinyao doted on her in the past, but he also had his pride. She had never seen him begging like this.

She was so fragile that she couldn't bear to refuse, her eyes flickered, and she heard herself say, "Actually, I'm not that rushed."

Hearing her answer, the gloom on Lin Jinyao's face suddenly dissipated, and he smiled and said, "I'll call and make a reservation right away."

They went to a French restaurant. The decoration style in the restaurant is very reminiscent of the past, the days when they studied abroad in France together.

While eating, some accidents happened in the restaurant.

I heard the restaurant staff explain that there was a table of newlyweds, and this is where the man proposed successfully.

They regard this place as the place where they made love, so they came back to relive the sweetness immediately after returning from their honeymoon.

That gentleman is a very romantic person, he gave the prepared gift to the staff of the restaurant in advance, and under the guise of their hands, gave the gift to his wife.

Until the time of leaving, the beautiful bride was still kept in the dark, thinking that she was really so lucky that she could get the lucky prize in the restaurant.

Seeing the happy smile on her face when she left with the rose in her arms, Lin Jinyao sighed softly, and said in great annoyance, "Why didn't I think of such a good idea?"

Swept by his resentful eyes, Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly lowered his head to eat.

When he came out of the restaurant, Su Mo asked him, "Brother Jin, where is your car parked? I'll take you there."

"My car was sent for maintenance yesterday." Lin Jinyao looked at the busy road with a tired voice.

Su Mo looked at the time, it was already this time, and he didn't know if Xiao Nanye had eaten on time.

Just as he was hesitating how to explain to him why he was late, he heard Lin Jinyao say, "If you have something to do, go first! I can take a taxi back by myself."

Just after someone invited her to dinner, she left him by the side of the road. Su Mo couldn't do such a thing, although such a relationship was embarrassing.

Su Mo kicked the stone under his feet, turned his head to look at him and asked, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."

Lin Jinyao looked at her with deep eyes, and said indifferently, "The place I'm going to is a bit far away, won't it waste your time?"

Su Mo shook his head and said, "Let's go!"

Lin Jinyao didn't lie to her, the place he was going was really far away.

The car gradually moved away from the urban area and drove to a remote wealthy area. When it finally stopped, looking at the school gate in front of him, Su Mo felt very complicated.

Lin Jinyao looked at the complicated expression on her face, "Do you still remember this place?"

Of course I remember, this school has her best memories of her childhood.

Footsteps were approaching behind him, Su Mo didn't turn his head, but asked him instead, "Why do you suddenly want to come here?"

"Maybe it's not reconciled!" I always want to get back some lost things.

Lin Jinyao walked past her gently, and said to himself, "I wonder if the cherry blossom tree behind the playground is still there?"

Hearing that Su Mo was slightly startled, the cherry blossom tree behind the playground used to be her favorite thing in this elementary school.

Does he still remember what happened so long ago?

Lin Jinyao didn't wait for Su Mo, but when he walked to the school gate, he slowed down and asked her, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Su Mo's answer, he smiled bluntly and said, "Actually, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know if this place has changed."

More than ten years have passed, how could it be the same?
Seeing Lin Jinyao's back, Su Mo hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

At this time, the students were all in the classroom, and the whole campus was quiet, only a pair of backs could be seen side by side.

The road from the teaching building to the playground passes through a grove of cherry blossoms. Every spring, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the campus is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

This road is still as it is in memory. I don’t know how many times I have walked back and forth?

I didn't expect that after many years, I could still relive the road I traveled at that time.

This afternoon, they walked for a long time.

They walked through the teaching building, through the library, through the playground...almost every corner of the school, but they still couldn't find the original feeling.

The bell after school echoed over the campus. At that time, they were standing on the steps at the entrance of the swimming pool, looking at the lovely smiling faces of the children.

"Let's go!" She said softly to Lin Jinyao's back.

She obviously trembled when she saw that lonely figure, but she pretended not to see it, turned around and walked towards the school gate.

When I came out of the school, it was already late, and the night fell over the city A.

When she went in, she followed him, and when he came out, he walked very slowly, watching her back silently, as if he wanted to find some shadows from the past.

The car was still parked on the side of the road with a ticket tucked under the wiper.

Su Mo took down the ticket, turned to Lin Jinyao and said, "Brother Jin, it's getting late, I'll take you back home!"

Although he was forced to leave for so many years, many things have already been imprinted in his heart.

During the years she left, if the Lin family hadn't moved, it would have been less than 10 minutes' drive from this noble school.

That once belonged to their two 10 minutes.
