Under the sunlight, the tree shadows were mottled. A gentle breeze caressed, bringing a touch of coolness to the summer day.
Su Xianyu strolled in Hongqiao Park, savoring the beauty of nature.
Suddenly, she paused slightly, hesitating as she looked at a huge plane tree beside her.
Su Xianyu reached out her hand, her fingertips gently brushing against the tree trunk, and then slowly squatted down.
She picked up a twig on the ground and seemed to be digging for something.
Seeing this, Feng Lin, not far behind her, also stepped forward and joined in the search.
[What is little Yu'er doing?]
[I don't understand. She was just enjoying a nice stroll in the park. Why did she suddenly start digging the soil?]
[Hey, why is Lin also helping out?]
[Look! There seems to be something down there!]
A small, rusty iron box gradually emerged.
The few remaining colorful paint chips on the box still vaguely revealed its once colorful appearance.
"Found it!"
Su Xianyu gently blew away the dust on the lid and lifted the iron box out.
"I didn't expect it to still be here after all these years."
Looking at her delighted expression, Feng Lin couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Is this our secret treasure box?"
"Yeah. Time has really flown by. I've even forgotten what we put in it back then."
Su Xianyu gently shook the box and heard something rolling inside.
"I guess they're the gemstones we collected when we were kids. What do you think, brother?"
"Hmm... I think there might be photos in it."
As the box lid was gently opened, the small items inside were exposed to the sunlight.
Some colorful pebbles were scattered inside, and there was really a yellowed photo underneath!
Su Xianyu's heart skipped a beat.
She had indeed forgotten what was specifically in the box she buried with Lu Yunshen.
But the photo inside obviously had nothing to do with Feng Lin.
Su Xianyu slowly picked out the "gemstones" and when she picked up the photo, her fingertips quietly caressed the faces of the people on it.
On the yellowed old photo, there were two blurry - faced kids, holding hands and smiling at the camera.
On the back of the photo, there was a faint line of small words - "Together forever".
"It's such a pity. It's a bit blurry."
Su Xianyu quietly let out a sigh of relief, looking regretful.
Feng Lin didn't feel any familiarity with the photo in front of him. Seeing the girl's disappointed expression, he comforted her.
"Don't worry. The doctor said your memory will gradually recover."
Su Xianyu rummaged through her bag and took out her phone. She tapped a few times.
"Brother, smile!"
Hearing this, Feng Lin looked up.
"Click~"
The man's eyebrows were slightly raised, his phoenix - eyes slightly wide open, looking at the camera in surprise.
The girl beside him made a heart shape with one hand and tilted her head slightly towards him. The warm scene was frozen on the phone.
"Although the past scenes are blurry, we still have the future."
But he didn't expect that the future the girl talked about would be so short.
"You're leaving?"
Feng Lin slowly walked down the stairs. As soon as he saw the suitcase at the door, his eyebrows frowned.
"Is there something uncomfortable about the place? I'll ask Chen..."
"No." Su Xianyu shook her head.
"Don't worry, brother. Everyone in the mansion has been very kind to me. I haven't been this happy for a long time."
"Then why are you leaving?"
Su Xianyu tilted her head slightly and looked into Feng Lin's usually cold black eyes, which were finally rippling with emotions.
"If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll start to think I belong here."
"Moreover, my injury has completely healed. I should go back to work."
Feng Lin was stunned. He almost blurted out "You belong here".
Because the only one who truly belonged here should be the owner of the house.
A dark thought suddenly rose in his heart: Lock her up!
Lock her up, and then she would be his alone.
But looking into the girl's dependent eyes, he forcibly chained up his previous thought and locked it deep in his heart.
No, he didn't want to see these once - close eyes filled with anger and disgust.
It was just a place to live. So what if she moved out? He would find a way to get her to move back.
"Okay. I'll take you back."
A black Bentley slowly drove by. The afterglow of the setting sun gilded the elegant car body, making the old street look even more shabby.
"Is this where you live?"
Looking at the tube - shaped building deep in the narrow street, Feng Lin pursed his lips tightly, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Su Xianyu blushed slightly and stepped over a small puddle on the ground.
"The rent in City A is so expensive. Among the communities near the hospital, only this place has a relatively affordable price."
She climbed the stairs, breathing a little heavily.
"Sixth floor. Phew, finally here."
After the door opened, a small room of more than ten square meters came into Feng Lin's sight.
The warm - yellow curtains were hanging. There were fluffy dolls on the bedside, all revealing the owner's love for life.
The items in the room were very tidy, but the facilities were really simple. The furniture only consisted of a bed and a small table.
The small bed for sleeping looked so small that a person might roll off it with just a turn.
"Please sit down."
Seeing the man looking around, seemingly not knowing where to put his feet, Su Xianyu gently tugged at his sleeve.
"The chair is broken and I haven't had time to buy a new one. Brother, please sit on the edge of the bed for now."
"Don't look at this house being small, but it's quite functional. You can take a shower here, and there's even a small kitchen."
"I'll tell you a little secret. I've saved some money over the years of working. Maybe I'll be able to buy a house like this soon."
Looking at the girl excitedly looking forward to the future, Feng Lin had an idea.
"What do you think of Haobang Community opposite Yuanya Hospital?"
"The location and property service are both great, but the price is too high. I asked about the rent before, and it's actually five times that of here!"
"A friend of mine is going abroad and wants to sell his house there. I think the price is quite reasonable."
"It's such a pity. I've only saved a little over 200,000. I definitely can't afford it."
"It's enough."
"Ah?"
Seeing the girl's shocked and confused eyes, Feng Lin realized the eagerness in his words and quickly added,
"He's in a hurry and wants cash so he can leave directly. So the price is much lower than the market price."
Su Xianyu was speechless in her heart. The description sounded more and more like a criminal...
But on the surface, she pretended to believe it and nodded, looking at Feng Lin with admiration.
"Such an opportunity is really hard to come by. How much is it, brother? It's a rare chance. I'll see if I can borrow some money to buy it."
"The house isn't very big, less than 200 square meters. 200,000 is enough."
As for that friend who was in a hurry to go abroad and sell the house, Chen Shui would arrange it properly.
Three days later.
Su Xianyu held the bright red property certificate and looked at Feng Lin with sparkling eyes.
"Brother, I have my own house now!"
"Yes, Yu'er is amazing."
"Should we invite your friend to dinner to thank him properly?"
Feng Lin's eyes darkened slightly. "No need. He's in a hurry to leave."
"Then I'll invite you to dinner, brother. We must celebrate this properly!"
After all, the real owner of the house was right here, wasn't he?
Hearing this, Feng Lin finally felt satisfied, and his eyebrows relaxed.
"Okay."
While Feng Lin was satisfied, far away in Country E, Ruan Sisi was also satisfied.
"Oh, baby~ You're the most charming oriental girl I've ever met. I'm completely smitten with you."
