The last scene flashed before Liu Mingzhi's eyes again and again.
At this time, he also understood what Ren Qingrui meant when he said, I'm sorry, I broke my promise.
"Liu Mingzhi, when the apricot blossoms bloom every year, I'll wait for you to come back and drink."
Liu Mingzhi murmured to himself and repeated this sentence, silently looked at the person in front of him, and sighed sadly.
Ren Qingrui heard Young Master Liu sighing and slowly walked to him and stopped.
"Liu Mingzhi, when the apricot blossoms bloom every year, I will wait for you to come back and drink.
This is the agreement we made when we said goodbye to each other.
Daguoguo, sister, I thought I would stay where we lived together and wait forever.
Until the day when the apricot blossoms bloom every year and you come back to me for a drink.
But...but...
I couldn't hold it back!
I didn't wait for that day, I came to the capital to see you!
So, my sister broke her promise.
You, you won’t surprise me, will you?”
When Ren Qingrui asked the last sentence, the tension in his bright eyes was clearly visible.
Ren Qingrui's tone was very calm, sounding like she was talking about everyday things.
However, Liu Mingzhi could hear the beauty's longing from her words.
Her seemingly calm words contained too many things.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the nervousness in the beauty's beautiful eyes, gently pulled out the cork on the wine bag in his hand, smiled and shook his head.
"No, I won't blame you, brother, and I don't dare to blame you."
Hearing her sweetheart's answer, Ren Qingrui's delicate body trembled slightly.
A heart filled with joy in an instant.
The sweetheart whom I longed for day and night did not disappoint me.
"real?"
Liu Mingzhi did not immediately answer Ren Qingrui's question, but raised the wine bag and put it towards his mouth.
When Ren Qingrui saw this, she didn't say anything more, but waited silently with expectation in her eyes.
Mr. Liu drank several sips of wine in succession, savoring the taste of the wine with a contented expression.
Soon.
Young Master Liu licked the wine from the corner of his mouth and handed the wine bag to the beautiful lady with a smile.
"Girl, welcome back."
Ren Qingrui raised the corners of her lips slightly, took the wine bag without hesitation, raised her jade neck slightly and took a sip of the wine she had brewed with her own hands.
"call--"
Ren Qingrui took a deep breath from the wine vessel, looked at Young Master Liu with a smile, and nodded heavily.
"Da Guoguo, thank you."
Liu Mingzhi gently patted the beauty's shoulder, turned around and sat down on the bench next to her.
Ren Qingrui looked sideways outside the snow viewing pavilion and saw Qi Yun, her sisters and others, still talking and laughing around the flower garden.
She breathed a silent sigh, looked hesitant for a moment, then walked slowly to Liu Dashao and sat down next to her.
Liu Mingzhi turned sideways and looked at the person sitting next to him, reached out and took the wine bag in the beauty's hand.
He raised his head and took a sip.
"Girl."
"Huh? How's it going?"
"How are you doing these days?"
Upon hearing Liu Mingzhi's greeting, Ren Qingrui pursed her red lips and fell silent.
After a while.
She raised her eyes to look at Liu Mingzhi, nodded first, and then shook her head.
When Liu Dashan saw Ren Qingrui's reaction, his face was slightly startled.
Ren Qingrui's response made him a little confused.
First he nodded, then he shook his head.
Is this a good life? Or a bad life?
"Girl, don't nod and shake your head again!
With your reaction like this, Brother Wei really can't understand how you are doing."
Ren Qingrui glanced back at the direction of Qi Yun, her sisters, and others, raised her hand, grabbed Young Master Liu's palm, and slowly placed it on her slender legs.
"Okay! Not good either?"
"Huh? What do you mean by good or bad?"
"Da Guoguo, in the early days after you left, my sister, I longed for the future life over and over again.
My sister, I long for it. Every year comes the season when the mountain flowers are blooming, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and my clothes are wet with apricot blossoms and rain.
I make wine in the mountains and forests, waiting for your return.
You ride alone through mountains and rivers, traveling thousands of miles to return home.
Daguoguo, do you know? Every time my sister thinks of such a scene, she feels so happy in her heart.
Even when I rest at night, my dreams are sweet.
Therefore, I am willing to wait silently.
Waiting for you to come back for the appointment, waiting for you to come back for a drink.
But……"
Liu Mingzhi asked subconsciously after listening to Ren Qingrui's sudden stop.
"But what?"
Ren Qingrui leaned on Young Master Liu's arm, looked at the scenery outside the pavilion with hazy eyes, and sighed quietly.
“However, the days of waiting are so unbearable.
I remember when my sister was young, before I met you Daguoguo.
At that time, my sister, I heard the word "days are like years" from other people's mouths.
I always feel that what they say is a bit exaggerated and what they say is a bit unrealistic.
Sunset, moonrise.
Just one day!
Before you know it, the day has passed.
How can such a short period of time make people feel that it will last for a year?
However, later when my sister met you Daguoguo and got to know you well.
Sister, I suddenly understood.
It turns out that living like a year is not an exaggeration, nor is it unrealistic.
But it's true!
Daguoguo, the feeling of waiting is really uncomfortable!"
Liu Mingzhi raised his head and took a sip of wine, then nodded sadly.
