After the message was sent, there was no reply from Si Nian.

The broadcast began to announce that the flight to Jincheng had started boarding. Jiang Sui had no choice but to put away his phone and queue up for boarding.

Until the plane took off, Jiang Sui did not receive any reply from Si Nian on WeChat.

She thought that he was either busy or didn't know how to reply to her.

Soon, Jiang Sui turned on the flight mode of his mobile phone as requested by the crew.

Then I lay back in the seat and listened to the audio in a minority language with my eyes closed.

The two and a half hour flight didn’t seem long when he came to Shenhai, but now Jiang Sui felt that the flight time was particularly long.

As soon as the plane landed, she eagerly turned on her cell phone.

Sure enough, a red dot appeared on the WeChat icon.

Jiang Sui opened it and saw that it was really Si Nian.

【Year: Fool! 】

Si Nian’s reply was very brief, but Jiang Sui’s mood inexplicably relaxed.

Maybe it’s because the Spring Festival is approaching, even a tiny place like Jincheng Airport has become lively.

Normally, the number of flights taking off and landing here in a day can be counted on one hand, but today there are unusually many passengers who have just got off the plane and relatives and friends who come to pick them up.

It looked like they needed to squeeze out.

Jiang Sui picked up his luggage and quickly walked from the exit to the arrival hall amid the crowded crowd.

Everywhere she looked were scenes of family members happily hugging each other after not seeing each other for a long time, and college students who had returned from other places like her were throwing themselves into their parents' arms and acting coquettishly.

A sour feeling came over me.

In Jincheng, this ancient and historic 18th-tier city, she thought that no one would wait for her at the exit anymore.

The happy family reunion can only be found in other people's homes, but here, all I have is that old courtyard and the loneliness in it.

Even so, Jiang Sui also wants to return to the place that holds so many beautiful memories for her as soon as possible.

She withdrew her gaze, followed the crowd, and walked out hurriedly.

Suddenly, she heard someone calling her "Sui Sui" in the distance.

Jiang Sui slowed down her pace, took off one of her earphones, frowned slightly, and listened carefully.

All I could hear was the noise of the crowd in the airport.

Who would call her here?

She thought that it was because her inner desire was too strong that she had auditory hallucinations.

Jiang Sui put the earphones back into his ears and continued walking out of the airport.

After leaving the airport, Jiang Sui went straight to the taxi pick-up point to hail a taxi.

It may be that most of the other passengers were picked up by private cars, so the taxis were not so crowded.

So she was lucky at this moment, there was a taxi waiting there as soon as she arrived.

When the enthusiastic taxi driver in Jincheng saw Jiang Sui, a thin girl, carrying a suitcase that was totally out of proportion to her body, he got out of the car and helped her put the suitcase in the trunk.

After putting the suitcase away, the driver quickly returned to the driver's seat.

Jiang Sui had just opened the back door of the car when he heard a voice of "Sui Sui" coming from far away.

She paused and looked back subconsciously.

In the crowded crowd, a tall white figure gradually appeared and walked towards her. A large gray scarf covered most of the man's face, leaving only a pair of unclear eyes.

After staring for just a few seconds, Jiang Sui bent down and prepared to get in the car.

It must be an illusion in her eyes. Although the man did look very much like Si Nian, how could Si Nian appear here at this time?

She also asked Wu Chunhao in the morning, and he said that Si Nian was busy, very busy, so he didn't even have time to send her to the airport.

It's all fantasy!

Jiang Sui laughed at himself in his heart and shook his head, then raised his foot to get in the car.

"Sui Sui!"

Jiang Sui's foot, which had just been raised, suddenly stopped and then put it down.

This sound was very clear. Although a foreign song was still playing in the headphones, she could clearly hear Si Nian's voice. He was calling her nickname.

Jiang Sui turned around and the tall white figure had clearly appeared in front of him, only a few steps away.

She covered her lips with one hand in surprise and stared at him for a while.

Although his eyes looked a little tired, they were still bright.

"Sui Sui!"

Taking two steps closer, he called her softly.

Jiang Sui suddenly ran towards him and threw himself into his arms.

Si Nian was unable to withstand the force and took a step back before he could barely stand.

He chuckled helplessly and said, "Please use more force. I will have to go to the hospital before I can go home."

Jiang Sui didn't care what he said. She hugged Si Nian tightly, buried her face in his arms, and asked in a muffled voice, "Why are you back?"

Si Nian raised his hand and gently placed it on Jiang Sui's back, patting her softly.

He didn't answer her, but asked softly, "Surprise?"

Jiang Sui nodded heavily in her arms, and Si Nian also put his arms around her and hugged her gently.

The two people began to hug each other greedily through their thick down jackets, as if they were trying their best to absorb the warmth from each other.

Several taxis on the side honked their horns, and the taxi driver behind Jiang Sui had no choice but to get out of his car to urge them on.

"Hey, girl, are you still going? We're blocking the way for the car behind us!"

Jiang Sui then realized that the honking of the horn just now was to warn the car in front.

She quickly let go of his hand and looked at Si Nian shyly , "Then, shall we go home?"

"Well, let's go home!" Si Nian grabbed Jiang Sui's wrist and walked towards the taxi.

After the two got in, the taxi drove out of the airport.

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and asked Si Nian, "Young man, you are here to pursue your girlfriend. Is this your first time in Jincheng?"

Si Nian did not deny the first half of the sentence, but simply said to the driver, "This is not my first time here. I grew up here when I was a child."

"Oh! So you are childhood sweethearts!" the driver couldn't help but teased.

Jiang Sui turned her head to look at Si Nian, and noticing her gaze, Si Nian also turned his head to look at her and curled his lips.

"How many years has it been since the young man came back?"

"Ten years."

"Oh, that's been a long time... Do you think Jincheng has changed a lot?"

“Very big!”

When he left, there was no coastal highway under his wheels, and there was no airport in Jincheng.

The taxi was driving on the coastal highway with light traffic, and Si Nian was chatting leisurely with the driver.

From time to time, he turned his head to look at Jiang Sui. While he was chatting with the driver, Jiang Sui slipped his little hand into Si Nian's arm.

Under her thick down jacket, she held his arm, her heart filled with joy that could not be expressed in words.

After noticing her little action, Si Nian turned his head and raised his eyebrows at her.

But he was still chatting with the driver.

Jiang Sui felt that everything seemed different after returning to Jincheng.

The streets are no longer crowded, and there is no longer the hustle and bustle of big cities. Everything is natural and relaxed.

There is no longer such a clear sense of boundary between Lian Sinian and himself.

They are now like a pair of real lovers, reflecting each other's eyes, affectionate and tender.

This feeling is really good!

Jincheng is not big, and the taxi stopped at the gate of the courtyard half an hour later.

Jiang Sui got off the car and saw the old courtyard again, his eyes began to warm up.

Si Nian paid the fare, picked up the luggage, and the taxi slowly drove away.

The two people stood side by side in front of the door for a long time without moving, each with thousands of emotions in their hearts.

After many years, she finally brought her brother Nian Nian back.

After many years, he finally set foot on this land again.

It was unknown how long this went on, Si Nian's hand reached up from behind Jiang Sui to the back of her head and rubbed her short hair.

"Still standing there? Go open the door!"

Jiang Sui was awakened from her daze by Si Nian, and she took out the key from her backpack and opened the door.

The lock was quickly opened by Jiang Sui, and the heavy old wooden door creaked and was pushed open.

Si Nian and Jiang Sui stood at the door and looked inside.

The tall ginkgo tree in the courtyard has shed all its clothes and stands alone in the courtyard with its bare trunk and branches, guarding it all by itself.

The golden ginkgo leaves spread all over the cement floor, dancing in the breeze from time to time.

Jiang Sui turned her head and looked at Si Nian. She chuckled and said, "It seems that there is a big project waiting for us here!"

Si Nian was also amused by Jiang Sui's words and responded softly, "Yes! Then let's get started!"

The two of them put the suitcases in the small living room just after the entrance, and then started working with clear division of labor.

Si Nian was sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard with a broom, while Jiang Sui was wiping the dust in the house with a basin of water and a rag.

As the two men worked on their tasks, they glanced at each other from time to time through the open door.

This glance is full of ordinary happiness.

Jiang Sui really wanted time to stop like this, without having to worry about the past or think about the future, just live a quiet and ordinary life in a world with only the two of them.

An hour later, Si Nian finally cleaned up the fallen leaves in the yard and put them neatly into a wicker basket.

He placed the broom at the edge of the wall, turned around and looked inside the house. Jiang Sui was no longer in the small living room at some point.

Si Nian shook off the dust on his body outside the door and went into the house to look for Jiang Sui.

Relying on the memory of the house layout, Si Nian found one of the rooms.

It seemed that Jiang Sui had not cleaned the room yet, and there was still a layer of dust on the neat desk.

This is the house where Jiang Sui and his grandmother once lived.

Compared to ten years ago, it doesn't look like much has changed.

There was just a row of wooden bookshelves in the corner that reached up to the roof, and they were filled with all kinds of books.

Si Nian knew that Jiang Sui was still living in this house, so he did not stay any longer and quietly left.

After taking two steps to the side, he found that the door of the next room was ajar, and there seemed to be very soft voices coming from inside.

Si Nian stopped in front of the door and looked inside through the crack.

Jiang Sui was standing sideways in front of a chest of drawers, holding a photo of her mother, carefully wiping the frame and mumbling to herself in a low voice.

"Mom, brother Nian Nian is back, are you happy?"

"Mom, he hasn't had a good life these years. Are you still angry with him for not coming back to see us, so you don't protect him?"

"Now that he's back, don't be so stingy. Just forgive him. In the future, you must protect him and keep him safe and everything will go smoothly!"

Si Nian stood outside the door for a long time, with a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Jiang Sui wiped the photo frame clean and gently put it back in its place.

Suddenly, there were two light knocks on the door outside.

Jiang Sui quickly raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes twice, took a deep breath and replied, "Come in, brother, the door is not locked."

Si Nian walked in and said nothing.

He saw Jiang Sui's slightly red fingers. He took the rag from her hand and threw it into the basin of water beside her.

He stood in front of Jiang Sui, lifted up Jiang Sui's red little hand with both hands, rubbed it gently between his hands, and lowered his head from time to time to breathe gently.

Jiang Sui raised his head slightly and looked at Si Nian in a daze.
