The old scenery is like spring and has not changed at all.

Jiang Mian walked to the door of his house with familiarity. Next door was Aunt Hu's house.

The copper-wood door opened as soon as it was pushed. Aunt Hu bent down and put down the wooden basin in the corner, "Come on, come on, sit down quickly."

She was so enthusiastic that she poured two cups of tea and handed them to them, "Mianmian loved the ground pot chicken I made when she was little. Today, I must cook it for you."

Jiang Mian smiled and said, "Mom, there is no need to be busy. I like to eat whatever you do."

Aunt Hu couldn't take any time off, so she rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards the chicken coop in the courtyard, "Just wait, I'll catch one right now."

In a moment, she had a flapping old rooster in her hand, "How is it? Not bad, isn't it?"

Ji Zhixiu's eyes narrowed slightly, although the courtyard was taken care of cleanly by the aunt. But this chicken shit on the ground... is still too conspicuous.

Jiang Mian saw his stiff movements and couldn't help laughing, “Let me help auntie, let's go together."

"Don't, don't, don't. You finally got home, so there's no reason for you to take action. Take your husband around and introduce us to him."

Jiang Mian couldn't refuse, "Well, thank you, ma'am. I'll have an extra bowl of rice later."

"Okay, okay! You are the most flattering!"

Aunt Hu went to cook and was busy, and they were the only two people left in the main hall.

Now it was Jiang Mian's turn to tease Ji Zhixiu, "Mr. Ji, are you not used to this place?"

Ji Zhixiu sat on this small bench that did not fit his body shape, looking inexplicably pitiful and funny. Jiang Mian couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed wildly, "Hahaha... Ji Zhixiu!"

"What are you laughing at?"

"Do you feel that you are out of place here, hahaha."

The CEO in a suit and tie stood here, making the room brighter.

Ji Zhixiu felt angry and helpless. There was a look of doting in his eyes, "When I think of growing up here with you and raising a few chickens, ducks and geese, I don't think it's a big deal."

Clouds of cloud flew over Jiang Mian's cheeks, and love words came out of his mouth. This man is becoming more and more unscrupulous.

…

"I was afraid that you were waiting impatiently and didn't prepare any good dishes. I just made four dishes and one soup. Mianmian... By the way, you still don't know your husband's name?"

"Ji Zhixiu."

Aunt Hu nodded, "Xiao Ji, don't dislike it. It's just a simple meal."

Jiang Mian almost laughed out loud when he said "Xiao Ji". I'm afraid no one in this life would dare to call Ji Zhixiu that way.

Ji Zhixiu glanced at her and snickered, and said quietly, “How could it be? It's because we bothered you rashly and made auntie worry. Besides, the food cooked by auntie looks very delicious."

Aunt Hu smiled broadly and said, "Young man is really good at talking. Come and try it."

With that said, she picked up a chopstick and put the dish into Ji Zhixiu's bowl.

Jiang Mian looked at her for a moment. One of President Ji's mysophobia was that he would never eat with others, even though Mrs. Hu had never used these chopsticks.

She was about to stop her when she saw Ji Zhixiu taking the initiative to pick up the bowl, “Thank you, aunt. I treat myself as my own family to eat, and aunt doesn't have to pick up the food for me. I'm welcome."

The more Aunt Hu saw it, the more satisfied she became. The young man was handsome and had a good temper. It seems that this girl Mianmian has finally met someone she can rely on for the rest of her life.

"Okay, then you can eat whatever you want. Where will you stay at night? Do you want to sleep at my house? I will clean the guest room."

Aunt Hu's son and his family all work out of town, and she is able to do the job by herself and doesn't want to bother her son and his family. I couldn't bear to leave my hometown, so I have been living here forever.

Jiang Mian shook his head and thanked her for her kindness, "No, ma'am, I'll just go back and clean up."

Aunt Hu understood that she didn't want to, "Okay, then if you and your wife are short of anything, come to my house to get it."

"Thank you, ma'am."

After the two of them finished eating, they returned to the next door. Ji Zhixiu had already had the small courtyard cleaned. In the past few years, he has been asking people to stay here, and there is no trace of dilapidation.

Jiang Mian looked at the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, “In the past, when autumn came, my grandma would beat pomegranates for me to eat."

Ji Zhixiu looked up and saw that the tree was still alive, but it had not yet reached its fruiting month. Back then, the little girl also gave him pomegranates, which must have been picked from this tree.

Jiang Mian looked at everything here and wondered, "You asked Xiang Long to clean up this place in advance, but why does this house look the same as when I left?"

When no one lives in the house, it loses popularity.

This place was just like when she left, as if her grandmother would come out with a smile and call her to eat in the next second.

After a pause, she thought of a possibility and looked up at Ji Zhixiu hoping for confirmation, "Could it be...could it be that my mother came back after I left?"

Ji Zhixiu couldn't bear to break her beautiful fantasy and nodded, “Maybe."

Jiang Mian curled her lips, "Maybe we'll meet her when we stay here for a few days."

The image of her mother is extremely vague in her memory. She only remembers that she grew up next to her grandmother, and her mother only came to see her once during the holidays.

I don’t know since when, she has never seen her mother again.

As for the father, he is an invisible man who has never been seen before. If you have never seen it, you will have no feelings for it.

Jiang Mian only regarded him as his father, and he was already dead.

For a few moments, her mind was filled with thoughts.

"Won't you take me to your boudoir?"

A man's deep voice sounded, interrupting her contemplation. Jiang Mian came to his senses, grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs."

Jiang Mian's room is on the second floor. The second floor uses solid wood stairs, and there is a slight noise when walking up.

After going upstairs, she turned around and saw Jiang Mian's small attic. She opened the door and said, "Welcome to my world."

The window sill of Jiang Mian's room is a carved wooden window. When it is opened, the opposite side is the river bank, and you can see the vast mist in the distance. Occasionally, there will be boatmen and Jiangnan scrolls, which are poetic and picturesque.

Ji Zhixiu casually turned over a notebook on the table, raised his brows slightly, and said softly with his thin lips, “Today, I ate a lot of food. Grandma's cooking was really delicious. I was very happy when I ate. It was so painful after eating, so good." I’m worried that no one will want me when I become a fat kid..."

Jiang Mian was startled and reached out to take it back, "Give it back to me quickly..."

This is too shameful. This is a diary she wrote before. Unexpectedly, Ji Zhixiu saw it.

Ji Zhixiu took advantage of his height and leaned on the table, holding his notebook high with a smile in his eyes, "I haven't finished reading yet."

"Don't look at it!" Jiang Mian became angry in embarrassment.

"I want to see it."

"Why didn't you find Mr. Ji such a rogue before?"

"It's not too late to find out now."

Ji Zhixiu flipped through it a few times and handed it back to her, "You were so cute when you were a kid."

Jiang Mian said fiercely, "You said it as if you had seen me when I was a child."

Ji Zhixiu was slightly startled, "Maybe I've seen him before."

"You are in Kyoto and I am in Jiangnan, how is that possible?" Jiang Mian didn't notice his change in mood and put the notebook away. "I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know if the water heater at home can still be used."

"It works." Ji Zhixiu said firmly.

Jiang Mian didn't worry, "I'd like to lend you some good advice. I'll go take a look first. You wait for me here."

"good."

While she was leaving, Ji Zhixiu looked around the room.

Jiang Mian's room was simply furnished, with a bed, a desk, and a bookshelf and wardrobe. The bookshelf is filled with novels that little girls love to read, as well as some ornaments.

His fingertips gently brushed against a music box on the table. It was not stained by dust, but only had the aged feel of time. It looks like this place is well taken care of.

Soon, Jiang Mian came back, arriving before anyone else arrived, "Axiu! The water heater at home really still works!"

She thought it would break if it had not been used for so long. The quality looks pretty good.

"We don't have to go out to take a shower at night."

Ji Zhixiu nodded, "How about washing up first? I'll go visit grandma tomorrow."

Jiang Mian nodded, "Then I'll go wash it first."

Half an hour later, Jiang Mian came back wiping his hair and said, "Axiu, I've prepared your things for you and put them on the sink."

It was neither cold nor hot in Jiangnan in July. Jiang Mian wore a long-sleeved pajama and felt cool all over when the wind blew.

When Ji Zhixiu came back after washing, Jiang Mian couldn't help but blush when she saw him. Nuwa Zhuoren seemed to be particularly partial to Ji Zhixiu.

With his unique appearance and family background, Jiang Mian sighed silently. It was no wonder that Shen Tingyu pursued him so hard.

Ji Zhixiu saw that she was absent-minded and in a good mood, "What are you thinking about?"

Jiang Mian patted the bedside and coughed lightly, "I really have something to tell you. My bed is too small for two people to sleep on. Tonight you sleep in my room and I sleep in grandma's room."

Ji Zhi strode up to her with his long legs. After taking a bath, the strong mint smell from his body came out and penetrated Jiang Mian's nose, causing her to lose consciousness for a while.

"I want to sleep with you." He couldn't refuse.

Jiang Mian rolled his eyes, "Brother, look at how tall you are, how can I fit in this bed?"

Her voice was coquettish and a little unconsciously cute.

"The two of them can't let go at all. That would be too unfair to my husband. Do you think it's——?"

When she started acting like a spoiled child, it was hard for Ji Zhixiu to resist her. I had no choice but to agree, "It's okay to sleep separately. How can you compensate me?"

He took some time to look at the little girl.

In order to get him to agree, Jiang Mian quickly said something in his ear. Then he walked out the door and said, "Okay, okay, I'm going to sleep."

Ji Zhixiu was also afraid of making the little girl mad, so he said nothing more and looked at the back of the little girl who was almost running away.

He smiled broadly.

As soon as Jiang Mian returned to her grandmother's room, her cell phone rang.

Xiu: [It’s hard to sleep alone. 】

Jiang Mian stared at these four words and suddenly laughed.

Jiang Mian: [I’m going to sleep, good night, husband. 】

Ji Zhixiu looked at the small sachet hanging on the bed and sighed, "You are so heartless."

Jiang Mian slept well that night, without any dreams.

When she woke up early the next day, she saw that Ji Zhixiu had come back from outside on the morning dew.

He was also carrying some food in his hand.

"Are you up? Come over for breakfast."

Jiang Mian smiled sweetly, "Honey, you got up so early to buy me breakfast? I'm so touched."

Ji Zhixiu said calmly, "I asked Xiang Long to buy it."

Xiang Long, “..." It's clear that Mr. Ji bought it himself when he came back from his morning run.

"I don't care, even if Xiang Long bought it, it was my husband's order." Jiang Mian opened the packing box and found her favorite Xiao Long Bao.

Ji Zhixiu saw through her thoughts at a glance, "It's useless to say nice things. Don't forget what you promised me last night."
