She relished such peace!
A County is a small town.
There was not much to do around the town, but he felt blessed just wandering from the beginning to the end of the streets holding Nanxi’s hand!
The concrete pavement was littered with rubbish, but there were no dustbins avable, nor did anyone bother with any!
But Nanxi was a very obedient child.
She always ensured that her rubbish went to the bin and frowned at him whenever he littered casually!
Nanxi said that it was not a good habit and needed changing!
Upon hearing this, he chuckled with satisfaction!
Being told off by his future wife filled him with delight!
When they got tired of strolling, they would stop to grab a bowl of dumplings.
There was a restaurant named “Sugar Dumpling Shop” whose dumplings were exceptionally tasty!
At first, he was reluctant to eat there.
Judging by its name, he thought the filling might be sweet.
He preferred salty foods with a strong vor and was not fond of sweet things!
Nanximented, “If you don’t want to eat, wait for me here.
I’m hungry and want to eat!”
Seeing her get angry, he naturally wanted to appease her.
He sat down to eat together and was relieved to find that the dumplings were not sweet.
What surprised him more was that the dumplings at the Sugar Dumpling Shop were indeed exquisite!
No, they were exceptionally exquisite – the best among all dumplings!
Seeing Li Weihuan relishing the dumplings, Nanxiughed, “See?
I told you I wouldn’t lie to you.
They’re delicious, aren’t they?”
Li Weihuan nodded stupidly, “Delicious, delicious!
Dumplings rmended by my wife certainly taste different!”
“Sugar Dumplings Shop’s” boss was a woman in her forties.
She was friendly, a good talker and her dumplings tasted great, hence her business was booming!
Her heart warmed to Nanxi and Li Weihuan, as they looked attractive.
Hence, she always did bigger portions for them!
Choosing to ignore current events, his heart found sce in the old!
To pass the rest of his life, he found himself clinging to the few remnants of his past!
Returning to the streets of A county, he felt mixed emotions.
Compared to six years ago, much had changed here.
The road had been repaired after the flood and dustbins were now ced along the road; however, many people still littered the streets!
“Sugar Dumpling Shop’s” boss was a woman in her forties.
She was friendly, a good talker and her dumplings tasted great, hence her business was booming!
Her heart warmed to Nanxi and Li Weihuan, as they looked attractive.
Since they were regr visitors, she always served themrger portions!
Usually, Nanxi could only finish two-thirds of her portion, but Li Weihuan could eat a lot.
He would finish off Nanxi’s leftovers!
When Nanxi got into H University and had to leave A County, the boss said that she would miss her and that if Nanxi ever got the chance, she shoulde back for her dumplings!
She said so, but she did not have high hopes in her heart.
Who would return to a small city like this one, where they had no rtives or friends, just to eat a bowl of her dumplings?
However, Nanxi did return twice.
Once, three months after she left A County, she paid a visit to her alma mater and came to see the boss.
The other time was when A County was hit by a flood and Nanxi came as a volunteer!
Unfortunately, the second time, the shop was flooded and Nanxi didn’t get to eat her dumplings!
Li Weihuan always thought that Nanxi was a very sentimental person; otherwise, she would not have reached out to him.
Once, when they were eating on the streets of Hong Kong, Nanxi asked him, “Why do you always leave home?”
He pondered for a moment and thenughed, “Howe I always leave home?”
“If you’re not leaving, why do you alwayse here?”
“Hmm, I don’t know!
Why do I keeping here?” He paused and added, “Nanxi, don’t find me pesky.
I only know you here!”
He was so pitiful that Nanxi couldn’t refuse him!
Who wouldn’t fall in love with a girl so kind, approachable, pure, clean and transparent?
If Lu Yinchu could fall for her, naturally, so could he!
He reached up to rub his brows; he, indeed, did not want to recall certain things from the past.
Once again walking down the streets of A County, he feltplicate.
Compared to six years ago, a lot has changed here.
The roads have been repaired after the flood, and there are now trash cans along the way, but many people still throw garbage on the street!
Li Weihuan drank a bottle of mineral water, and he casually threw the empty bottle on the ground.
Suddenly, a feminine voice echoed in his ears, “Li Weihuan, didn’t I tell you not to litter?”
His eyshes fluttered and his eyes clouded over.
His heart felt like it had been heavily punched, it hurt unbearably!
He stepped forward to pick up the bottle.
But as he lifted his foot, a little boy darted out from behind him and picked up the bottle that he threw, tossing it into his bag!
Then, the boy swiftly ran away!
Li Weihuan adjusted his breathing and continued down the road he and Nanxi had taken countless times before.
Even though everything had changed and even though Nanxi was not by his side, the road was still there!
And the memories of this road were still vivid!
It was July, and the sun was harsh, but Li Weihuan felt cold inside.
And the reason he felt cold was because he didn’t have Nanxi by his side!
“Hey, wait for me!”
Li Weihuan paused, turning to see a girl chasing after a boy.
The girl had long ponytails and was wearing a in white dress.
The boy was tall and lean.
They both passed by him before he could get a clear look at the boy’s face.
“Hey, wait for me!”
He seemed to recall someone saying the same thing to him in the past.
That girl, who also shouted at him, had the same long ponytail, wore a pure white dress, had a soft side profile, and looked beautiful when she smiled…
“Nanxi…”
He called out, but there was only emptiness around him, and no response!
