Chapter 72 Suburbs

  A semester has passed in the blink of an eye. Meng and her friends are packing up their things in the dormitory, preparing to go home for the holidays...

  Picked up things and went downstairs, unexpectedly saw Yan Yiqing waiting there.

  "How did you get here?" Meng'er stared at him in surprise.

  Yan took the luggage from her hand and put it in the trunk. "I'll take you somewhere!"

  "But..." Meng'er looked at Jing Tianyu and her own brother not far away, she didn't tell Yan Yi that her brother would also come to pick her up. As they were about to meet, thinking of the conversation with her brother that morning, Meng'er was afraid they would clash here.

  "Big brother......" Meng Er greeted them as they walked in, "Qing Tian big brother!"

  Yan Yi heard Meng Er's voice, stood up, and faced Cang Hai Jun and Qing Tian You. Three equally outstanding men gathered together because of Meng Er.

  "Meng'er, come home with me!" Canghai Jun was distressed because Yan Yi had repeatedly hurt Meng'er, and his originally not-so-good impression of him had now turned into complete disregard.

  "Brother..." Meng'er didn't want to have any unpleasantness with Cang Haijun again, but she also didn't want to disappoint Yan Yi. He had come to pick her up without warning, so he must have planned out the itinerary long ago.

  "This is Meng Er's luggage, I'll take it as the elder brother!" Looking at Yan Yi's trunk that was not closed in time, Cang Hai Jun knew that Meng Er was hesitant because of Yan Yi.

  Then, he stepped forward, took her luggage: "I'll send Meng'er back home! No need to trouble Mr. Yan to make another trip!"

  But Yan Yi couldn't let Cang Hai Jun take Meng Er away so easily, especially with a silent rival, Qing Tian You, standing beside them. So, he reached out and grasped the other side of the luggage.

  "I'd be happy to serve my girlfriend!" The words were directed at Canghai Jun, but in reality, they were meant for Qingtian You. It was as if he was declaring ownership, and the light, airy tone made Canghai Jun's hand pause mid-air.

  The two people beside them also had different expressions: Meng Er was entangled with a puzzled face, Yan Yi's words were nothing but provoking his brother; Qing Tianyou flashed a painful expression, these few words were like sharp needles piercing his heart, so unbearable!

  The two people facing each other, the surroundings are also changing. Meng Er saw that this place was about to become a focal point again, so she could only look at Jing Tianyou for help. Jing Tianyou looked at Meng Er's pleading eyes, and her urgent expression, which made him almost cry, suddenly softened his heart!

  "Jun, since they have an appointment, let's head back first!" Walking forward to Jun's side by the vast ocean, hinting at him to leave.

  Canghai Jun looked around, then his gaze returned to Meng'er's body. He knew that Qing Tianyou had softened and didn't want to make things difficult for Meng'er. Then, he also let go of her hand.

  "Meng'er, let's go!" Meng'er heard Yan Yi's voice and followed him in a daze. She looked at Cang Haijun and Qing Tianyou with a desire to speak but ultimately remained silent as the car door separated them.

  "Don't worry, I won't let Meng'er get hurt again!" Then, the car drove out of their sight!

  "Yu, you... "

  “……”

  Qing Tianyou didn't respond and walked towards the parking lot. He couldn't have her, but at least he hoped she was happy...

  "Uh, Yan Yi, my brother..." Meng Er finally couldn't bear it and broke the silence in the car, but didn't know how to continue afterwards.

  "It's okay, he also cares about you! I understand!" Yan Yi took over Meng Er's words with great magnanimity.

  "Yan Yi, thank you!" Meng Er heard his words of forgiveness, and her eyebrows slowly relaxed.

  The car gradually drove onto a small country road in the suburbs, and Meng was attracted by the scenery outside the window.

  "Is that a cactus?" Meng'er looked out of the car window at the plants growing in rows inside the greenhouse, supported by gray strips. She remembered that cacti were like that, green and tall.

  "Hmph, silly girl, didn't you know that's a dragon fruit tree?" Yan Yihao smiled and glanced at Meng'er, seeing her excited little face suddenly turn gloomy. So, not wanting to crush her, he continued, "Many people would mistake it too, it's very normal! I made a slip of the tongue, our Meng'er is the smartest!"

  But Yan Yi's flattering words didn't allow Meng Er to say another word.

  "Yatou, are you really angry?" Yan Yi's voice revealed a rare sense of relaxation and comfort, continuing to say, "You didn't see that over there!"

  "Strawberry?" Finally, Meng'er's line of sight was shifted to the other side of the greenhouse, and from the greenery with a hint of red, she knew that it must be strawberries. But, she feared making the same mistake as before, so she added a question mark!

  "Yes, when we get back, let's go pick some! The vegetables and fruits here are all natural green foods!" Yan was excitedly explaining to Meng Er, "After staying in the steel and concrete for too long, people will lose their direction. Coming close to nature from time to time helps us find ourselves and our direction forward!"

  Meng'er didn't have time to respond when Yan Yi suddenly said: "We're here!"

  Then, after parking the car, Meng Er saw the title 'Hundred Flowers Garden' carved on top of an entrance surrounded by stone.

  "Is it where the Hundred Flowers Fairy lives?" Meng'er pointed at the big characters above and asked sideways.

  "Just go in and take a look, will you?"

  Then Meng Er smelled the fragrance of flowers and walked freely into the inside, where she was stunned by the scenery. A vast expanse of sunflowers stretched out endlessly, blooming with unparalleled brilliance.

  "Ah... " Meng'er looked at the row of sunflowers standing upright and neat, surprised to the point of being speechless, "How did you know I like sunflowers?"

  "Does one naturally know when they have a crush?" Yan stood quietly there, looking at her sparkling eyes and smiled.

  Meng'er didn't ask any more questions and walked towards the sea of flowers. As soon as Meng'er disappeared into the sea of flowers, Yan Yi hurriedly followed.

  Only see the dream like a butterfly in the flower cluster fluttering dance, light and ethereal. Like a playful fairy running out of flowers, once startled, it will disappear before one's eyes.

  Carefully moving forward, he drew her into his own embrace, watching as she quietly settled into his arms, with an unmistakable smile hidden in the depths of his eyes. He lowered his head and gently kissed her. The fragrance of flowers surrounded them, her breath danced on the tip of his nose, entwining and lingering, making him reluctant to let go.

  Meng'er was deeply grateful for everything he had done for her, quietly stopping in his arms, letting him chase his own mouth until she felt almost suffocated before he let go of her.

  "Come on, it's so big, you can't finish walking in a day!" Yan Yiqian held Meng Er's hand and took her to sit on an unknown bicycle placed by the roadside at some point, galloping all the way through the endless sea of flowers.

  As the sky was about to darken, Yan Yi took Meng Er and left the flower field, arriving at a nearby farmhouse.

  "Yu'er, Xiao Yi, are you there?" Yan shouted from outside the door after parking his car.

  "Ah!" A soft and gentle voice that was unique to the south came from inside, "Is it Brother Yan who has arrived?"

  Then a tall and thin girl appeared in front of them, with a pair of big eyes open. She looked in their direction, but Meng felt that something was not right, because her eyes had no focus.
