Chapter 25
It may be that he left a deep impression on her by "tasting glutinous rice balls" that day. As soon as breakfast was mentioned, she wanted to eat glutinous rice balls.

Wen Qizhou smiled lightly: "Okay."

He lay with Chi Yue in his arms for another half an hour, got up and went to the kitchen, cooked two bowls of round glutinous rice balls and brought them to the bedroom.

The black sesame seeds in the glutinous rice balls are always very sweet, and I don’t feel tired after eating a few of them occasionally, but once I eat too much, I will snore.

He cooked less, only six per bowl.

It was just right for Chi Yue, but probably not enough for him, she raised her head and asked, "Are you full?"

"not yet."

"Shall I get you another sandwich?"

Wen Qizhou: "No need." He leaned over to cover his bright red lips, and murmured in a low voice: "I'll be full if I taste more."

The scent of cypress wrapped Chi Yue.

She tilted her head back, her slender eyelashes fluttered twice, accepting his gentle and possessive kiss.

The scorching breath sprayed in, and her cheeks were reddened, and with a tingling sensation, it diffused into her beating heart.

When he tasted the sweetness he wanted enough, she clutched a corner of his clothes and buried it in his neck to calm his disordered breathing.

He muttered, "You're so annoying."

"Where am I bothered?" Wen Qizhou lowered his eyes, looking at her shy hair.

Seemingly aware of his gaze, she quickly raised her head and glanced at him: "I couldn't breathe just now."

"Then I will teach you how to breathe?"

"No." She didn't give him a chance.

Chi Yue took a bite at his collarbone, leaving two rows of shallow tooth marks, and then pushed his shoulder away: "Go and wash the dishes."

Seeing the glutinous rice balls turned into red fruits, Wen Qizhou stopped thinking about teaching her, and took away two sets of bowls and chopsticks with a growing smile.

Even if he walks out of that door, the ambiguous atmosphere lingering around still hasn't dissipated, and the cypress fragrance that she unintentionally tainted on her body brushes her nose faintly.

She bent her knees and nestled on the sofa to read a book, listening to the continuous sound of rain, the corners of her lips raised a slight arc.

In the lackluster days that followed, they found each other's little fun, and watched the rain outside the window disappear day by day in an environment full of warmth and love.

When the rain subsided, the clouds receded.

The golden wheel that has not been seen for many days hangs in the clear blue sky. The warm light emitted by the golden wheel spreads over the whole city, pouring down from the window with a trace of warmth.

The air washed by the rain is fresh, and the towering tree in the distance is still standing in the water. It shakes its branches with the wind, and the fallen leaves float on the sparkling water.

Aquatic animals also popped their heads, flicking their tails through the sundries and fallen leaves and dead branches on the water surface, seeming to be playing happily.

Chi Yue overlooked the water.

In just a moment, the figures of frogs and water snakes appeared in his eyes, as if they were sending a signal to humans that they could go out.

She looked away: "Qizhou, let's put away the things at home first? We can leave in a few days."

Wen Qizhou nodded: "Yes."

There are a lot of things in their home, and the furniture can be put into the space directly, but small objects and home appliances need to be assembled and disassembled separately.

He picked up the toolbox, removed the hanging air conditioners, solar panels, and projection screens in the two bedrooms one by one, and then organized the small objects with Chi Yue, and put the things that could be used in the future into the storage box. .

"Where's our photo album?" Chi Yue flipped through the drawer of the master bedroom, but couldn't find it: "Why is it missing?"

"A wedding album?"

"And our childhood memory book." She opened the jewelry drawer and found that the marriage certificate had also disappeared.

Instantly guessed that someone did it.

She stared at Wen Qizhou who was dismantling the floor lamp, crossed her arms and asked, "Tell me, where did you hide them?"

His idea is easy to guess.

It was nothing more than fear that she would file for divorce and take away the things that carried their memories, so she quietly transferred them.

"The safe under the bookcase." He touched the tip of his nose twice guiltyly: "That's a fingerprint lock, I'll get it for you."

Chi Yue followed behind him.

She waited for Wen Qizhou to enter her fingerprints to open it, then knelt down and watched him take out the hidden marriage certificate, photo album and birthday presents she had given him one by one.

"This pen is rusted." Chi Yue stroked the cool penholder, feeling indescribable emotions welling up in her heart.

For a while, I was both regretful and moved.

What regrets is that she never cherished the birthday gift he gave her; what moves her is his moist and silent love and company.

"It can be used even if it's rusted." What he cared about was never the gift, but the person who gave it.

Chi Yue suddenly threw himself into his arms.

She hugged his waist, with tears rolling in her flushed eyes: "I don't seem to have told you yet."

"what?"

"I like you." She couldn't help sobbing: "I fell in love with you a long time ago."

Every minute and every second they spend together is like a drop of water. After so many years, it has gathered into a river and flowed on her limbs, leaving indelible traces.

She had been moved unconsciously.

"Well, I feel it." Wen Qizhou heard the most beautiful words in the world, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.

He stroked the top of her hair, his eyes inadvertently fell on the yellowed paper box containing the gift.

The mood at this moment is like the year when I realized my heart, the English written on it stroke by stroke with a pen.

──You fell in love.
── "You're in love."

*
On the second day after the torrential rain stopped, the flood flooded the streets and alleys of Sui City with garbage and mud and rocks.

The three youths who did not leave Building C were just about to go out to find supplies by rowing a boat, and they were too late to avoid the sudden flood.

"what!!"

The boat was overturned, and screams resounded through the sky.

Chi Yue watched them being swallowed by the raging flood, and thought of the scene of Wen Qizhou disappearing into the water.

She leaned on the window sill with a pale face, her hands were trembling, and her whole body seemed to be tightly entwined with fear and anxiety.

Just as she was immersed in the sorrow of the past, a gentle big palm covered her eyes, blocking her sight.

Wen Qizhou put his arms around her waist, carried her away from the window, turned around and sat on the sofa.

He knew what she was thinking.

Because of this, seeing her devastated appearance, her heart would ache.

His palm landed on her back, patted her lightly a few times, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't leave you."

Chi Yue leaned close to his chest, closed her eyes and listened to his orderly heartbeat, trying to put the past memories behind her.

He is still there.

She kept reminding herself that he was still there.

"Pray for a boat." She didn't know how long it had passed, she took a deep breath and stared into his eyes: "Don't leave me behind, okay? I don't want to live alone, it's so tiring."

"Don't say stupid things."

Wen Qizhou tapped her forehead with his fingers.

He said with a serious expression: "The situation is different this time, we will definitely live to the end of our lives."

End of life?
Chi Yue couldn't imagine how old and frail they looked with gray hair, but she eagerly hoped to go to that day with him.

She pulled back her thoughts, grabbed Wen Qizhou's collar and repeated again: "Then you are not allowed to leave me, did you hear me?"

If hope is dashed.

She is willing to set foot on hell with him.

"Understood." He responded softly, diverting her attention: "When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow." The rapidly rising and falling flood peak will pass by, and the water surface will return to calm, and it will not be easy to encounter danger when leaving.
