time is with you

Chapter 22 If I Wait For You (1)
The two made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near the hospital at ten o'clock in the morning.When Mei Ran arrived, Zhou Yi Miao had already been sitting there for almost an hour, and when she saw her, she quickly stood up, "Junior Sister."

"Senior Brother Zhou," Mei Ran put her bag away and nodded at him, "You came here early?"

She didn't have the habit of making people wait, and would go out early every time.

"No, just sit for a while."

Mei Ran felt relieved, called a waiter, ordered a cup of cappuccino, and after thinking about it, ordered an extra piece of matcha cake.

The waiter took notes one by one, glanced at Zhou Yimiao, and asked, "Sir, your coffee should be cold, do you need to change it for you?"

Zhou Yimiao seemed a little embarrassed, "No need, thank you."

In fact, Mei Ran noticed the abnormality of the man opposite from the moment she sat down. He seemed a little nervous, and she smiled secretly in her heart, "It must be just an illusion, right? That Zhou Yi Miao Zhou who doesn't frown easily no matter how tricky the operation is." Doctor, how could you be nervous?"

However, she changed her mind and thought again, her heart suddenly seemed to be thrown into a huge rock, "Senior Brother Zhou, could it be the result of the examination..."

"No," Zhou Yi Miao shook his head, his hand hanging by the chair suddenly clenched into a fist, and then slowly released it, "The result of the first inspection did not find any problems for the time being."

Only then did Mei Ran smile, "That's good, I thought..." She stopped talking and took a sip of coffee.

"During this time, how are you doing?"

"Very good," Mei Ran raised her head, "How about you, Senior Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Yimiao looked at her, and his thoughts drifted back to the small mountain villa bathed in the drizzle. The water mist spread like a piece of tulle on the mountainside, like a fairyland.

The lights in my hometown are still dim, and my father is reluctant to replace with better light bulbs. He keeps all the money sent back every year, and plans to marry a good wife for this up-and-coming son in the future.

Grandma was wearing an apron and working in the short, dark kitchen. The steam was thick and the firewood was crackling in the stove. Her wrinkled face showed a happy smile from time to time.

All this made Zhou Yimiao's heart sour and his eyes full of tears.

How much he wanted to be like this, staying by their side for the rest of his life.

Zhou Yi Miao felt that he was standing at a crossroads, at a loss. In his past life, he had experienced such difficult times. He had no background, no money, no influence. Every step of the climb is priced at the price of blood and tears.

It's just that this time it's different, he doesn't have the right to choose whether to go left or right.

The night in the mountains was quiet, and Zhou Yimiao was lying on the wooden bed in the attic, staring intently at a small piece of stars coming in through the skylight.

These so-called eternal things may have existed for thousands of years, but so what?They are unconscious and devoid of any emotion.

He saw the whiteness in the east from the stars, and the big rooster at the head of the village was crowing with its head held high, day after day tirelessly, which awakened the people and every plant and tree in the entire mountain village.

The lowered voice of my parents came from downstairs:
"My son finally came back, and he seems to have lost weight again."

"Yes." Father sighed.

"Old Zhou, go out after breakfast and go to the town to buy some delicious food for A Miao to replenish her body."

Hearing this, Zhou Yimiao finally couldn't bear it any longer, and fell asleep with his head tilted.

When he woke up, the sunlight at the end of the bed was scalding his feet. He got out of bed and walked barefoot to the window. The attic window faced the vegetable garden in the backyard.Grandma was carrying a vegetable basket, cutting leeks neatly with her hands and feet. Her back was already a little bent, and her silver hair at the temples was particularly dazzling.

"Mom, let me help you."

"No need," she quickly waved her hands, "just stand there, don't let the mud stain your clothes."

"Oh," she sighed helplessly, "you child!"

Zhou Yimiao put a handful of leeks into the vegetable basket, met those loving eyes, and turned his head quickly again.

"Mom!" He suddenly pointed to a tall and lush persimmon tree beside the well, "Isn't this tree already..."

"Yeah," Zhou's mother smiled, "I also thought it wouldn't survive, and I was thinking about asking your dad to chop it up and set it on fire. I never thought that it would start to twig again in the spring of this year. Now And the tree is full of fruit." She said with a regretful tone, "I remember, when you were young, you liked to eat persimmons the most, but it's a pity that they are still young, and when they are ripe, ask someone to bring you some."

It seemed that something that had been smoldering in the chest disappeared instantly, Zhou Yi Miao smiled as brightly as the sun in the sky, "Mom, thank you!"

"What silly things are you talking about, kid?" Mother Zhou laughed angrily.

"Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Miao came back to his senses abruptly.

Mei Ran was amused, "I think you lost your soul just now, and you didn't respond after calling you several times."

"Sorry, where were we?"

"You said you had something very important to tell me last night, what is it?"

she asked with a sly smile.Zhou Yimiao felt an unprecedented tension, and his extremely short nails sank deep into the palm of his hand. After a while, he took a deep breath, "Junior Sister, do you still remember that I said that I wanted to open a small restaurant?" ?"

Mei Ran nodded.

He seemed to have made a major decision, he stood up suddenly, looked down at her, his breath surged unsteadily through his nose.

He couldn't hide it any longer.After those long and difficult days, the feeling for her was so strong that it was almost uncontrollable.

He had to let her know!

In this world, there is such a man who likes her without any result.

His feelings are no longer humble, open and aboveboard, frank and frank!
"I once imagined that if you were the proprietress of the restaurant, it would be great..."

That should be the most beautiful and happiest thing I can imagine in my future life.

Walking out of the coffee shop, Mei Ran was a little absent-minded all the way, and the response to Fu Shijin's phone call was half a beat slow.

"are you at home?"

"Well... no, it's still outside."

"What happened?"

Mei Ran didn't know how to tell him, that incident was beyond her expectation, how could Senior Brother Zhou treat her...

"Ran Ran?"

"I'm fine," she exhaled softly, "I'll be there in about half an hour."

"Be careful." The other side paused and said, "I'll wait for you."

It was only when the driver asked her where she was going for the third time that Mei Ran recovered from her daze and quickly reported the address.

There was a slight turmoil in her heart, and she couldn't calm down for a while, so she sent a few more messages to Yu Sheng.

When he arrived at Fu's house, Fu Shijin was watching the news in the living room. His slender legs were casually crossed, and his posture was lazy and elegant. When he saw her from the side, he smiled with his handsome eyes, "Here we come."

The man's complexion looks much better than yesterday, and it seems that the effect of acupuncture is not bad.Mei Ran walked to him and sat down, "How do you feel now?"

But he held her soft hand, squeezed it lightly, leaned over half of his body, and sprayed his hot breath on her cheek, "My head still hurts a bit."

He seemed to be remembering something, and narrowed his deep eyes slightly, "I remember you gave me a massage once, and it felt quite comfortable."

Mei Ran didn't know that someone was "getting an inch", so she believed it and began to massage him, but before she pressed it for a while, his hand was held again, and she looked over in puzzlement.

"I'm much better," he said with a faint smile on his lips, "I don't want you to be too tired."

Mei Ran suddenly understood.

He was referring to her injured hand, but why does this sound so...ambiguous?

Seeing the girl's ears turning pink gradually, Fu Shijin leaned on her contentedly and continued to read the news.

But it was obvious that most of his thoughts were on her, even the strangeness between her brows could be seen in his eyes, but he didn't change his expression at all.

After sitting like this for more than half an hour, the old lady came out of the kitchen cheerfully wearing an apron, "Shi Jin, Lao Yang brought back an authentic mountain chicken from his hometown, you and Xiao Ran will arrive later Pick some mushrooms from the back mountain and come back to stew together."

It turned out that after the heavy rain some time ago, the forest was humid everywhere, and the climate was suitable, so mushrooms grew on many rotten trees.

In her lifetime, Mei Ran has never seen so many mushrooms with her own eyes. They bloom one by one, plump, simple and cute, and gently blowing with the breeze, smiling and nodding.

She squatted down and picked a basket in a short while.

She seemed to have discovered something again, and she was so pleasantly surprised that her beautiful eyes seemed to be shining brightly, "There are wild vegetables here!"

Fu Shijin really didn't see any treasures in that clump of weeds, but he still bent down slightly to look.

These wild vegetables are also very plump and pure in color, and they must taste extremely delicious. Mei Ran couldn't help but pick a handful of all kinds, and put them in the straw basket in an orderly manner.

She raised her head and met the man's gaze. Behind him was a large area of ​​dazzling sunlight. He used his tall and straight body to form a clear shadow for her. She smiled and stretched out her hand, "Pull me up."

Fu Shijin not only pulled her up, but also took the basket, but he refused to let go of her hand, so Mei Ran had no choice but to follow in his footsteps.

The breeze is blowing, and the green waves in the eyes are gently trembling. Occasionally, there are a few clear and melodious birdsong in the depths of the forest, making this secret place that is rarely visited by people even more quiet.

Mei Ran seemed to hear the sound of running water.

Not far away was a pool of water, where a few wild teals were swimming in the water. From her perspective, the ducks looked like pieces of cotton candy floating on the water, and they were indescribably cute.

Mei Ran couldn't wait to take a closer look. The duck was not afraid of life, and continued to play in the water leisurely, washing its clean white feathers.

The water is very clear, and the fallen leaves, aquatic plants and accumulated rocks at the bottom of the pool are clearly visible.

When the water was flat, she opened her eyes wide to see, surprised and delighted, "There are fish!"

Perhaps her voice startled the little thing underwater, and saw a few ripples on the surface of the water, and the fish wagged its tail and swam into the deep water.

Mei Ran still wanted to follow its trail, but she accidentally stepped on the green moss on the bluestone, and almost slipped in with one foot, when a long and strong hand suddenly stretched out to wrap around her waist and hugged her return.

Because the movement was too big, the man didn't have time to stop his momentum for a while, and his whole body was crushed under her body like this.

He was stunned for a moment, then quickly pressed her back, hugged her on the green grass and kissed her softly.

At the end of the passionate kiss, Mei Ran blushed and panted heavily, her heart almost jumped out, while the man above still maintained the previous posture, with one arm around her waist and the other on the grass, vainly Keep a slight distance from her.

"Ding" broke the sight of the two people intertwined like honey.

Mei Ran turned her head to look over, and it turned out that in the panic just now, her mobile phone fell out of her pocket, and a new message from Yu Sheng was displayed on the screen:
- isn't it?Did your brother confess to you? !

Apparently, the man saw it too, he raised his eyebrows and looked over with some meaning, Mei Ran's scalp began to tingle.

The wild cranberries picked in the pocket before were also crushed in the indulgence just now, and a sweet smell quickly filled the air.

Yu Sheng soon sent another message to confirm with her: "It's that senior brother Zhou who is the boss with a serious face?"

Mei Ran hurriedly covered her face with her hands.

"Why don't you explain?"

How can she explain this kind of thing?
"I," Mei Ran said in a low voice, "I made it clear to him."

The man lay down beside her, and said "Huh?" calmly.

"I told him," she looked into his eyes firmly, "I have a boyfriend."

"Then did he..."

Mei Ran understood his meaning from his expression, "Of course not, Senior Brother Zhou is an upright gentleman."

He smiled softly, "I remember you also said that I am a gentleman."

"That was before."

"Oh?" The man laughed, "Isn't it now?"

of course not!She glared at him lightly, would an honest gentleman press her down and kiss her on the mountains and grass?A gentleman would put his hand in after kissing...

Thinking of this, Mei Ran couldn't help but her face was burning, she hit his chest a few times, and buried her blushing face in it.

"Exactly," the man's deep voice fell from above, "I never thought of treating you as an 'honest man'."

His voice disappeared directly between her lips, the sun was warm, and the green grass below was warmly baked a fresh fragrance, he hugged her and fell intoxicated together.

"I'm jealous," he sighed softly again, "It seems that I will have many rivals in love in the future."

"I have quite a few too." Mei Ran casually mentioned a name.

Fu Shijin thought for a while, but couldn't piece together the facial outline represented by the three words "Mei Mengran" in his mind. He smelled the fragrance of her hair, and closed his eyes comfortably, "It's just irrelevant people. No need to think about it that much."

The division of his relationship with the opposite sex has always been simple and clear.

In his eyes, there are only two kinds of women in this world.

One is called Mei Ran.

One is called other women.

They didn't return home until dusk. Lao Yang had already finished handling the pheasant, and the old lady was busy putting pieces of chicken neatly into the clay pot in the kitchen.

"Why have you been here for so long?"

Mei Ran glanced at the person next to her guiltily when she heard the words. Although the arranged dress didn't look too different, the creases that couldn't be smoothed out still reminded her of what happened to the two of them just now. Continue to wash wild vegetables with a straight face.

Fu Shijin bent his fingers and touched the corners of his eyebrows, with an unconcealable smile in his voice, "I was delayed on the road."

The old lady didn't ask any more questions, she evenly spread the washed mountain mushrooms on the chicken, turned her head and said, "Go out and wait, it will probably be stewed for more than an hour."

Lao Yang was reading the newspaper in the living room, and when he saw Mei Ran warmly greet her and the people behind her, he patted his head and smiled honestly, then winked his eyes meaningfully, and consciously went into the kitchen to help.

Mei Ran suddenly had the illusion that the whole world would be cleared for them to fall in love.

"What are you thinking about?"

Mei Ran smiled, "I was thinking that the dinner is so rich, I might have an extra bowl of rice tonight."

She didn't know how charming she looked when she smiled, her pink face was faintly flushed, and her red lips were slightly pouty, with an indescribable beauty and vigor.

The man stretched out his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "You should eat more." His eyes swept over her body three times with scorching heat, "You are too thin, it would be more comfortable to hold you if you are a little fatter."

hug?How else does he want to hug?
Mei Ran hastily pushed his chest, her nose filled with a uniquely male breath, and that deliberately low voice seemed particularly bewitching, "Ran Ran, do you want to hear me play the piano?"

Of course I do!
There is a piano in the corner of the study. Although it is well maintained, it doesn't look like it is played very often.

Fu Shijin saw her doubts, and pondered, "I haven't touched it for seven years."

In the past seven years, day and night, he dared not touch everything he was familiar with. He forgot that he was Ansel, the musician sought after by thousands of people.

The word "seven years" seemed to be a pair of gentle hands, stroking Mei Ran's most sensitive nerves. She couldn't help but feel a sore nose, and took the initiative to hold his hand, "I'm sorry, I kept you waiting for too long."

"Fool, you don't have to apologize to me." The man hugged her into his arms with a soft voice, "If I can wait for you in the end, I don't care how long I wait."

He also asked himself, is it worthwhile to gamble for seven years to seek a result that may not have any result with just a little obsession?
The answer was in his arms now.

"Promise me one thing?"

"what?"

Even if I can't accompany you through this life, please don't disappear suddenly with no news.

I don't like many things in this world. I don't know if I lose you again, can I find another belief to support the rest of my life.

Even if I can't stay together till the end of my life, as long as I know that you are still alive in this world, the rest of my life will have meaning.

"Okay." Mei Ran nodded solemnly.

The man took her hand and put it on his lips to kiss her lightly, as if he was the most devout believer in the world.

With her promise, he has a new belief in his life - the Meranism.

He is a Meranist.

His whole being will belong to the woman in front of him, from body to heart, complete.
