This gift, bought while in France, but never found the opportunity to give it to her.

After returning from France, he took it with him everywhere he went.

After seeing her at the charity gala last time, Lin Jin Yao thought that there would be no way to give this gift in this lifetime, but he never thought that he would meet her here today.

Maybe that's God's will!

Although her heart was very reluctant, she had to let go of her, "Mamoru, let's see if you like the gift I gave you."

"Good." Sierra Moore took the box and after opening it, the smile froze on her face and her eyes turned unnatural all of a sudden.

Inside, in black velvet, the diamonds give off an exclusive, eye-catching luster.

He actually gave her a diamond ring.

"Jackie, I can't accept this gift." Sierra Moore returned the box, this gift was too expensive and very unsuitable for her current status.

Lin Jin Yao looked at the box that was returned, the expression on his face froze slightly, followed by a frank smile.

"Mamoru, I didn't mean anything else by giving you this, I just remembered that you used to keep pestering me to give you a ring, so ......"

"That's different."

Sierra Moore interrupted him and looked at him very seriously, "In the past, I thought that we would get married when we grew up, so I wanted you to give me a ring.

Natet you say that a ring represents a man's commitment and should only be given during a proposal."

She's right, this ring is seven years too late and everything is different.

Lin Jin Yao compared his eyes fiercely and asked her, ''If I say that I'm proposing to you right now, you, will you answer?

Morpho, will you still marry me?"

Wow!

The coffee cup in his hand crashed into the saucer, and the coffee poured over the cake, just as complex as Sierra Moore's mood at the moment.

In that moment, there was actually a moment of heartbreak, and a voice in my head said, say yes to him.

It was as if, again, I saw the green, green grass.

The girl, dressed in a floral princess dress, sat on a swing in the park, wiggling her two short white legs as she watched the boy painting in the grass.

"Jackie, you have to paint people beautiful/beautiful oh!"

Vaguely, the boy's nice voice could still be heard, drifting away in the breeze and rain.

Ta-da.

Why is it raining all of a sudden?

The girl on the swing looked up, the rain hitting her face, so cold, so icy.

It was as if the world had lost its voice, and the whole park was suddenly empty, and at that moment a flicker of panic crept over the girl's heart, and she jumped off the swing in a panic.

She cried out helplessly, her grandfather, her father and mother, her aunt, her Jackie, all gone.

The memories seem to be stuck in that summer forever.

Sumo's clenched fingers turned white as she heard herself say three words, "I'm sorry!"

If it had been seven years ago, when everything hadn't happened yet, she would have immediately agreed to Lin Jin Yao's marriage proposal, because at that time, she had dreamed of being his bride.

But right now, she wasn't happy at all.

There was clearly no rejection, but it was more brutal than just opening your mouth and rejecting it.

Lin Jin Yao's heart gripped together fiercely, the corner of his mouth pulled out a far-fetched smile, "In fact, the person who should say sorry is me, if I hadn't forgotten about you, things wouldn't have turned out like this between us."

In this matter, the one who was hurt the most was actually Lin Jin Yao.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Lin would be so paranoid as to find someone to hypnotize her son's memory in order to force him to forget the girl he loved.

Such Lin Jin Yao, even made her feel pity, Sierra Moore did not know how to face him, stood up and said, "Jackie, I want to go back."

Before that, Lin Jin Yao had been hanging his eyes, his gaze resting on the rejected box.

Until after hearing her words, he slowly raised his head, still the same gentle and handsome look Sierra Moore remembered.

The corners of his light smile were impeccable as he politely inquired, "Have lunch before you go! Since you won't accept my gift, at least let me host a meal for you."

Dinner? Now?

It felt like this morning was all about eating, Sierra Moore looked down and went to look at her watch, it was actually already noon, she was previously prepared to go and find Xiao Nan night to eat together.

Thinking of that big young master, Sierra Moore had a headache, he was definitely going to be angry if he hadn't been there for such a long time.

"Jackie, I really have to go, for dinner, it's better to do it next time!" Sierra Moore really didn't have the courage to look at Lin Jin Yao's expression, she knew he must be very disappointed in himself.

Turning to leave, he pulled back.

The gaze moved slowly from their folded hands until it crashed into his expectant eyes, "Just today, can't it be mine?"

Sierra Moore's heart trembled fiercely, in the past Lin Jin Yao had favored her yes, but he also had his pride, she had never seen him look at her with such a begging gaze.

Vulnerable to rejection, her eyes flickered and she heard herself say, "Actually, I'm not in that much of a hurry."

Hearing her answer, the sad clouds on Lin Jin Yao's face suddenly cleared, and he smiled and said, "I'll call to make a reservation right away."

They went to a French restaurant, which was decorated in a style that was very reminiscent of the past, those days when they studied together in France.

While eating, there were some mishaps in the dining room.

I heard the restaurant's staff explain that one table of guests was a newlywed couple, and that this was the place where the man had successfully proposed in the first place.

They think of it as the place where they fell in love, so they just came back from their honeymoon and came right back to relive the sweetness.

The gentleman, a very romantic man, gave the restaurant staff a prepared gift beforehand and pretended to give it to his wife by their hands.

All the way up to the time she left, that beautiful bride was still in the dark, thinking she was really that lucky to get the restaurant's lucky prize.

Looking at the happy smile on her face as she embraced the roses and left, Lin Jin Yao sighed softly and said with extreme chagrin, "Why didn't I think of such a good solution?"

Being swept by his grudging eyes, Sierra Moore's heart jumped and she hurriedly lowered her head to eat.

When he came out of the restaurant, Sierra Moore asked him, "Jackie, where is your car parked? I'll send you there."

"My car was sent for maintenance yesterday." Lin Jin Yao looked at the endless stream of road traffic, his voice a little tired.

Sierra Moore looked at the time, it's this time, I don't know if Xiao Nan Night has eaten on time.

As he was hesitating on how to explain to him why he was late, he heard Lin Jin Yao say, "If you have something to do, go ahead! I can take a taxi back myself."

Someone else had just invited her to dinner and she left them on the side of the road, something Sierra Moore could not do, although it was embarrassing to get along like this.

Sierra Moore kicked the stones under her feet, inclined her head to look at him and asked, "Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Lin Jin Yao's deep eyes looked at her and said as if he didn't care, "The place I'm going to is a bit far, won't it delay you?"

Sumo shook her head and said, "Let's go!"

Lin Jin Yao didn't lie to her, the place he was going to was really a bit far away.

The car gradually moved away from the city and drove to a remote rich area, and when it finally stopped, looking at the school gate in front of her, Sierra Moore's mood was complicated.

Lin Jin Yao looked at the complicated look on her face, "Do you still remember this place?"

Of course she remembers that this school contains some of her fondest memories as a child.

The footsteps behind her were approaching, Sierra Moore did not turn around but asked him back, "Why did you suddenly think of coming here?"

"Maybe it's just reluctance!" Always trying to get back something that was once lost.

Lin Jin Yao gently walked past her and said to himself, "I wonder if that cherry blossom tree behind the playground is still there?"

At those words Sierra Moore's body was slightly stunned, the cherry blossom tree behind the playground used to be her favorite thing in this elementary school.

So long ago that he even remembers?

Lin Jin Yao didn't wait for Sierra Moore, but slowed his pace as he walked to the school entrance and asked her, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

After saying that, without waiting for Sierra Moore to reply, he gave a sunny smile and said, "Actually, I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know if this place has changed."

It's been over a decade, how can it stay the same?

Looking at Lin Jin Yao's back, Sierra Moore hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

At this time of the day, the students were all in their classrooms, and the whole campus was so quiet that only a pair of side-by-side backs could be seen.

The road from the school building to the playground, to pass through a forest of cherry blossom trees, every year in the spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom all over the branches, the campus is filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Is this road still the same as it was in my memory, having been back and forth for I don't know how many times?

I didn't realize that I would be able to revisit the road I traveled back then after all these years.

This afternoon, they went long.

They walked through the school building, through the library, through the playground ...... almost every corner of the school, but never found the feeling of the beginning.

The school bell echoed over the campus, and at that time they were standing on the steps in front of the swimming pool, looking at the lovely smiling faces of the children.

"Go!" She said softly to Lin Jin Yao's back.

Clearly seeing that forlorn back shudder, she pretended she didn't see it and turned toward the school's front door.

When he came out from the school, it was already late, and the night curtain was drawn down over the city.

When she went in, she followed him, and when he came out he walked slowly, keeping a silent gaze behind her back, as if trying to retrieve some shadow of what he once was.

The car was still parked on the side of the road with a ticket wedged under the windshield wiper.

Sierra Moore took the ticket down and turned to Lin Jin Yao, "Jackie, it's getting late, let me send you back!"

Although he was forced to leave for so many years, many things have been seared into his heart for a long time.

All the years she had been away, if the the Lee Family hadn't moved, it would have been less than a twenty-minute drive from this expensive school.

That was once, twenty minutes that belonged to them.
