Breakfast was steaming on the table. "Xiao Tao, it's time to eat." Grandpa greeted.
Han Xiaotao hurriedly changed into her school uniform, buttoned her buttons and walked out, "It's too late. I just received a notice from the school that everyone has to attend the cocktail party on the last day of the Cherry Blossom Festival today."
"Oh. Isn't your mobile phone broken?" Grandpa agreed, but then he remembered something was wrong. In the past few days, she didn't say anything about buying a mobile phone.
Han Xiaotao was putting on shoes in the entrance hall when she was slightly startled. Cui Minhao's face appeared in her mind. Yesterday he dragged her into the room and forced her to give her the mobile phone that he had not given away last time. What else did he say, "You are so stupid to say that."
"I'm not allowed to get lost one day or something like that." Such nonsense. However, how could he fall out so quickly in the blink of an eye, without even giving her a chance to explain... Han Xiaotao shook her head and said to her grandfather: "The last name is
The guy from Cui said that it would be easier to contact him, so he temporarily let me use the unused one."
Grandpa glanced at Xiao Tao, but did not ask further questions. Instead, he asked, "Would you like to take a steamed bun with you?" He handed it over.
Han Xiaotao held the steamed bun in her mouth and ran out in a hurry. She would not be able to catch the school boat if it was too late.
There are especially many ships on the sea today, and the number of cars on Pearl Island is also the largest in the whole year. The uniform black Lincoln extended-length with the flag of Sapphire Group carried groups of distinguished people to Sakura Road High School. The party hall was already full of people
Gentlemen and ladies exchanged glasses of wine while elegant music poured out from the hands of the pianist on the stage.
The school is filled with flourishing cherry blossoms, and the flowers are crowded together and are as eye-catching as the tourists filing in.
Han Xiaotao thought that she had not seen the cherry blossoms in full bloom on campus, so she walked slowly along the cherry blossom path. The flower language of cherry blossoms is life, representing a warm and optimistic spirit. They break through the coldness of winter and bring spring.
The first dawn. If the residents of heaven can also see the scenery on earth, then is her mother also watching the same cherry blossoms now? Han Xiaotao looked up at the pink and white cloud-like cherry blossoms, and such thoughts flashed through her mind.
She closed her eyes and clasped her hands together, hoping that the cherry blossoms, which represented life, could make the departed soul feel the spring of the world.
"It's a very special way to make a wish on cherry blossoms." Su Zhiyu's voice came from behind.
Han Xiaotao turned around and smiled and said: "Flowers and plants also have souls. They are messengers of nature, and they can probably communicate with human souls. So it is not a wish, I just hope that those souls can hear the things in my heart.
Just words."
"So, in such a soul, is there anyone very important to Xiao Tao?" Su Zhiyu asked, his eyes seemed to contain something.
"I have the greatest mother in the world." Han Xiaotao stuck out the tip of her tongue, turned around and walked towards the end of Cherry Blossom Road.
Su Zhiyu chased her for a few steps, walked up to her and asked, "Aren't you going to the hall? Min Hao will introduce you to everyone today."
Han Xiaotao lowered her eyelashes and said, "It's so boring, I don't want to go."
Su Zhiyu looked at Xiao Tao and smiled, then followed her forward.
"Wow, what a big cherry blossom tree!" Han Xiaotao suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the huge ancient cherry blossom tree in front of him that was surrounded by many people. The roots of the tree were intertwined and buried deep in the ground, and the ground was covered with wind quilts under the canopy.
Blowing petals.
Su Zhiyu's eyes jumped, and he stood in front of the cherry blossom tree and looked up at the tree's corolla. The warm flowers bloomed into a pink cloud, covering a quiet corner. Although there were so many people watching, it grew alone.
But it was so lonely and lonely. When the crowd dispersed, it still had the same posture, neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor happy, absolutely refined.
When Han Xiaotao got closer, she discovered that there was a wooden sign standing next to the cherry blossoms, which said the origin of the cherry blossom tree.
"Ah, it turns out that this tree belongs to you, Senior Zhiyu..." Han Xiaotao turned her head and looked at Su Zhiyu hesitantly because she could clearly see the light of memory shining in Su Zhiyu's eyes.
"It was planted by my great-grandfather." Su Zhiyu said quietly.
"Senior Zhiyu also had such a deep impression on his great-grandfather?" Han Xiaotao asked, tilting his head. Su Zhiyu looked at the cherry blossoms in the same way as Han Xiaotao's grandfather looked at the peach tree. It's just that for
Family affection, one for love.
"My great-grandfather was a blessed man. He lived a long and healthy life. He didn't return until after I could remember, so I have an impression. I still remember that he often told me that he planted this cherry blossom when he was young because this school belongs to them.
The older generation created it together, so everyone has a tree as a souvenir. My great-grandfather particularly liked cherry blossoms. He said that I was born during the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and cherry blossoms symbolize life. He said that he was grateful to the cherry blossom god for giving him
The continuation of life. I am the continuation of his life." Su Zhiyu recalled bit by bit, putting the pieces together completely.
"My great-grandfather should have been able to hear what Senior Zhiyu said while standing in front of the cherry blossom tree." Han Xiaotao said with a smile.
"Haha." Su Zhiyu laughed, maybe so.
"Senior." A girl's voice came from behind.
Su Zhiyu turned around and looked at the familiar face of the crimson-colored girl in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to react: "Is it you?"
Han Xiaotao also turned around, opened her eyes wide and said, "It's Shangguan Meng!"
Shangguan Meng seemed to have noticed that Han Xiaotao was also there now, and his hands holding things shrank.
Han Xiaotao took a look at Shangguanmeng's nervous expression and guessed what was going on. She raised her head and said to Su Zhiyu, "Ah, um, senior, I'll go look elsewhere first." After saying that, he disappeared without waiting for Su Zhiyu's answer.
Su Zhiyu is also a veteran in love. As soon as the girl stood in front of him, he could see what was written in her eyes. But for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable. He shrugged and said, "It's the same this time.
What?"
Shangguan Mengban lowered his head and whispered: "This is for this tree."
"Eh?" Su Zhiyu was stunned and looked at her in confusion.
Shangguan Meng opened the lid of the gift in her hand and found a small cake with strawberries on it. She took a deep breath and said, "I know this tree was planted by Senior Su himself, and today it happens to be this tree."
It’s the tree’s birthday, so I made this cake. I don’t know what flavor this tree likes, but I heard that Senior Su likes strawberry very much, so I just..."
"Would you like to celebrate a tree's birthday?" Su Zhiyu wanted to laugh. This was even stranger than Han Xiaotao's wish for cherry blossoms just now. However, why did a warm current rush through his heart? "But most people don't pay that much attention to this tree.
On what day was it planted? You must have put in a lot of effort, right?"
Shangguanmeng's face was on fire, he lowered his head and said, "No, no. I just want to keep everything in mind about the seniors. I have read the school history before, so I wrote it down."
Su Zhiyu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness." He stepped forward to take the cake and placed it under the cherry blossom tree. The brightly colored strawberries were like a warm smile and the selfless love of his great-grandfather.
"Then...I won't disturb senior." Shangguanmeng bowed, turned and walked away.
Su Zhiyu took her wrist and said, "Are you leaving?"
Shangguanmeng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Su Zhiyu, his jewel-like eyes flashing with trembling light.
"I'm going into the hall later. There will be many elders who always ask about top priority matters. I wonder if I can ask Miss Shangguan to help me resolve this embarrassment?" Su Zhiyu asked elegantly.
"Me, me?" Shangguanmeng looked at Su Zhiyu in surprise, as if he was dreaming.
"It only takes a few hours. I wonder if I have the honor to invite Miss Shangguan to be my dance partner temporarily?" Su Zhiyu continued to ask.
Shangguan Meng's face burned as warmly as a ripe apple, and his gentle and watery eyes almost melted her into this pink dream. She nodded uncontrollably and walked into the hall holding hands with him.
Go inside.
Han Xiaotao wandered alone for a while, and unknowingly walked into the hall. The extraordinary decoration and the jeweled women complemented each other perfectly. Han Xiaotao saw Cui Minhao at a glance, stood beside his mother reluctantly, and looked at each person.
Everyone who came up to say hello ignored them. She trembled inexplicably and was about to leave when someone behind her hugged her waist. Han Xiaotao was startled, but when she turned around, she saw a pair of smart people approaching her.
big eyes.
"Is it Xiao Tao?" The big eyes blinked, but the hands did not let go.
"You...are you Miss Lu?" Han Xiaotao remembered the female owner of the bar shop, that sharp-tongued, cheerful and generous girl, who was also the eldest lady of the Lu family of the second consortium.
"Miss Lu, please don't torment me, just call me Xueyan." Lu Xueyan is still so outspoken, but she doesn't have the so-called hypocritical reserve and aristocratic airs of everyone's daughter.
Han Xiaotao smiled and saw Mrs. Cui and Min Hao coming up to her enthusiastically. Only then did she realize that Lu Xueyan's parents were also following behind.
After Mrs. Cui greeted the Lu family couple, she turned to look at Xueyan and said, "Is this Miss Xueyan? She is indeed an iconic beauty. I'm afraid this young man who comes to propose marriage will have to cross the threshold, right?"
"No way? My little girl has been used to being free and loose since she was a child. How can she be as dignified, reserved and capable as Miss Huaijin." Mrs. Lu said and looked at Cui Huaijin who was talking with Pan Yun on the other side.
"So I already told you that I don't want to come to any cocktail party, so as not to embarrass you." Lu Xueyan shrugged, turned around and took Han Xiaotao's hand. "Xiaotao, let's go, let's go play somewhere else."
Mrs. Cui's eyes moved to Han Xiaotao, and she was stunned. Does this little girl even know the eldest daughter of the Lu family?
"This is..." Mrs. Lu looked a little confused. Han Xiaotao was wearing a school uniform, and she looked like a student of this school. The Lu family was never in the country, so how could Xueyan know this girl?
"This is the friend I made on Pearl Island, Han Xiaotao." Xueyan said generously.
Han Xiaotao was stunned. She had only met Lu Xueyan a few times, so she didn't expect Miss Lu to be so easy-going.
"She is indeed a very powerful girl." Mrs. Cui looked at Han Xiaotao and said, her eyes clearly said that she is indeed a capable girl.
Han Xiaotao lowered her eyelids and pretended not to see the vicious look.
Lu Xueyan also felt that something was wrong in Mrs. Cui's eyes, and didn't know what she meant by "awesome", so she didn't pay attention. She still hugged Han Xiaotao intimately, but she said: "Master Cui is on stage.
"
Then the piano stopped, and the sound of a microphone audition came from the stage. Amid the screams of the nymphomaniacs, Cui Minhao stood in the center of the stage holding a silver-white microphone, with a superficial smile on his handsome face, but he was still
Extremely charming.
Han Xiaotao sighed and lowered her head without looking at him.
But the eyes behind her were staring at her closely.
