When the appointed day came, even though Jiang Sheng wanted to go early, she was still too busy to get away, so she hurriedly arrived.

Seeing Jiang Sheng, Yao Hongmao stood up from his seat, looking a little happy: "Hello, Miss Jiang."

"Hello."

Jiang Sheng didn't exchange much greetings, she handed over the box: "I accidentally learned that you once bought a similar candy at Mary's store, I want to ask if that candy is still there?"

Yao Hongmao looked carefully, and the long-lost memory was brought back: "It seems... there is such a thing, but it has been given away by me."

Jiang Sheng held his breath: "Who did you give it to?"

Yao Hongmao didn't answer and asked instead: "May I ask, is this candy very important to you?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "It's very important."

Yao Hongmao smiled: "Then you asked me to meet today just for this?"

"Yes." Jiang Sheng paused, "...I'm sorry."

Yao Hongmao shook his head: "Miss Jiang hasn't had lunch yet, she's already here, why don't you order some food first?"

Without waiting for Jiang Sheng to refuse, he added: "I'll talk to you about this slowly."

"……it is good."

It was said that Yao Hongmao pressed the order bell and asked Jiang Sheng for his opinion. After ordering a few dishes, he ordered two drinks and a plate of snacks.

Before the dishes were ready, Jiang Sheng urged: "Can we talk now?"

Yao Hongmao didn't keep it up: "When we were in high school, our teacher organized us to go to the orphanage as volunteers for a day, and I met a very cute little sister there."

As soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by the waiter who came to serve the food.

The last dish of corn and chicken wing pot was brought to the table. The waiter carefully opened the porcelain lid and asked with a smile, "Both of you have a dessert called Acacia Honey Beans. Do you want to serve it now or after dinner?"

Yao Hongmao looked at Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng waved his hands anxiously: "Later."

It doesn't matter if you don't, she didn't really come to eat.

"Okay, please use it slowly."

The waiter nodded and left.

Yao Hongmao picked up a chicken wing with his serving chopsticks and put it into Jiang Sheng's bowl: "Try it, the dish from this restaurant is very good, and it's boneless in the mouth."

Jiang Sheng only asked: "Can Mr. Yao continue talking?"

"Of course, I'm just afraid that if you work all morning and don't eat something, your body won't be able to bear it."

Yao Hongmao smiled: "Since you are eager to listen, then I will continue."

"I don't know why, everyone left her alone when they were distributing snacks... Later, my companion and I went back and forth and found her. We wanted to buy another bag of snacks and let her wait in the classroom... When we came back There is no one in the classroom, only a sticky note with pinyin written on it..."

Every time Yao Hongmao spoke, Jiang Sheng's heart beat faster.

I just heard him end with a reminiscing and slightly reassuring smile: "The eyebrows and eyes of that little sister are very similar to yours."

Twelve words, every word is clear.

It took Jiang Sheng a while to find his voice: "That...that candy..."

"Of course it ended up in the hands of the younger sister. I didn't like sweets at first."

The smell of steaming chicken wings pierces into the tip of the nose, which is not attractive in the slightly hot early summer season, but the orange tea with ice cubes in the hand cools the palm of the hand and stops the sweat that is about to break out.

Jiang Sheng raised his cup and took a sip. The clear aroma of the ice-cold fruit tea diluted the astringent tip of his tongue.

It turned out that she had really found it.

But it didn't seem to be as surprising as expected.

Jiang Sheng stood up and smiled slightly: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Yao Hongmao didn't expect to wait for a while, and waited for such a sentence.He froze for a few seconds, then smiled as usual: "Okay, please go ahead."

Jiang Sheng opened the curtain and left.

She walked in the direction of the bathroom until the water from the faucet splashed down, as if barely washing away the heat that the air conditioner couldn't relieve.

After adjusting her mood, she just settled the bill when she came back, and then she returned to the private seat.

As soon as he was seated, Yao Hongmao raised his hands and joked, "That's all, so I'm really not talking nonsense for the sake of striking up a conversation, I just think you resemble that younger sister."

Jiang Sheng responded according to his words: "Really."

"Yes—yes."

He half-joked: "Maybe you are."

Jiang Sheng laughed: "Where in the world is there such a coincidence."

For some reason, Jiang Sheng suddenly didn't want to recognize Yao Hongmao anymore.

When she found the big brother in her memory, she was indeed a little happy, but time has passed, and it is not necessary to tie two complete strangers with things from before, which will only increase the burden.

If there is someone to help in the future, then she will repay his favor.

Jiang Sheng lowered his eyes, and flipped the chicken wings in his bowl with chopsticks. The chicken wings were soaked in the thick soup, and the crystal white rice grains beside them were distinct.

Yao Hongmao looked for a topic and asked, "Then, do you have any plans for this afternoon?"

Jiang Sheng put down his chopsticks: "I have a friend coming over, and I have to pick her up at the high-speed rail station at three o'clock."

"It's still less than two o'clock." Yao Hongmao raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was Blancpain's classic series, with 18k white gold needles.

"It's close from here, you can eat slowly... I'll see you off later?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "I have already contacted the rental, but I have to go to the flower shop first."

That guy Xie Yihan resigned in a fit of anger, and when he learned that she was going to come over to see her in Beicheng, he asked her to buy a bouquet of flowers to pick her up, saying that it was to celebrate her resignation and get out of the sea of ​​suffering.

Yao Hongmao didn't force it when he heard the words. After the two had eaten, he got up to pay the bill, but he learned that the bill for his table had already been paid.

He smiled, jokingly: "So polite."

Jiang Sheng also raised her lips: "I'm not being polite."

The warmth of her childhood was far from enough for her.

Yao Hongmao pretended to sigh: "I'm so sorry, I have to pay the bill for a meal."

"I don't know if I have a chance to pay back this meal in the future?"

Jiang Sheng didn't answer directly, but only joked: "Genders are equal."

Just as the voice finished speaking, the phone in the bag rang, and Jiang Sheng opened it to answer it.

It's a taxi: "I'm on the side of the road, where are you?"

Jiang Sheng looked around, and saw a silver-gray commercial vehicle not far away facing him, and he could clearly see the license plate number.

She responded: "I seem to have seen it... wait a minute, I'll go over."

After saying this, she turned her head and said goodbye to Yao Hongmao: "The car is here, let's go first."

Yao Hongmao raised his leg: "I'll take you to the car."

Jiang Sheng didn't refuse. After confirming the phone number with the driver, he took a photo of the license plate number and sent it to Xie Yihan and grandpa before opening the car door and stooping in.

Before closing the door, I saw Yao Hongmao shaking his phone: "Then contact me again?"

Jiang Sheng waved: "See you later."

The car started slowly, the scenery outside the window began to change, and someone was watching in the rear right mirror.
