    perfect

    Two months passed in a blink of an eye. Anyu, who originally wanted to take Shen Luo abroad with him, stayed in the country, and the number one scholar in Ancheng was also acquired by Haida.

    As the parting approached, An Yu fell into insomnia. She hugged Shen Luo tightly all night, and before dawn, the two of them were still whispering.

    Shen Luo became sensitive. Even if An Yu just turned over, Shen Luo would squint his eyes to confirm whether he was leaving.

    The hand on his waist used a little force to drag him closer. Shen Luo kissed his chest in a daze, endured the pain and put his legs on him, as if to trap him.

    On a good day, Shen Luo took him back to Tashui Town. Nothing had changed there, except that one lively place was missing.

    When entering the door, Shen Yixiang was lying on the wicker chair under the loquat tree in the yard as usual, with Yu Gong lying at his feet, his tail gently patting his belly. The moment before the two of them entered the door, Yu Gong ran over with his ears pricked up, barking twice like a baby, with freshly turned soil on the soles of his feet.

    Shen Yixiang sat up slowly, lowered his glasses, looked at their clasped hands carefully, and closed the book. After You Min left, he seemed ten years older, his hair was much grayer than before, and his eyes always had a touch of sadness.

    “Grandpa, I miss you so much.”

    Shen Luo took two quick steps and hugged him. Shen Yixiang smiled so much that he wiped his eyes and responded to him: “Xiao Luo, you haven’t come to see grandpa for a long time. I thought you forgot about grandpa.”

    “How could it be? I’m just preparing for the college entrance examination, so I’m short on time.” Shen Luo blurted out this sentence.

    “I’ve lost weight.” Shen Yixiang held his forearm, which had no flesh at all.

    Shen Luo put his hand on his face and said, “Grandpa, touch it, there is meat here.”

    Shen Yixiang rubbed his rough hands on his face and said, “He looks fat.”

    Only after he was sure that Shen Luo had not been wronged did he let him go, he lay back down to take shelter from the shade, the wicker chair swayed under him, and those thin lips hummed a song, which Shen Luo couldn’t hear clearly.

    The two chatted for a moment, and Shen Luo pulled the person behind him and stood in front of Shen Yixiang with their fingers intertwined.

    “Grandpa, he is An Yu, and he is also my sweetheart.” Shen Luo solemnly introduced An Yu to him.

    An Yu became nervous and forgot to wave his hands when he stepped forward, looking a little funny. After hearing about his sweetheart, Shen Yixiang stretched out his eyes and looked at her carefully, from top to bottom, inside and out, and then said: “You have a dignified appearance, clear eyes, and a tall body. Your taste… is very good.”

    Shen Yixiang paused for a moment, wanting to see his anxious look. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Shen Luo raised his chin proudly, as if to say, “Of course.”

    “Then you agree.”

    Shen Yixiang pointed at his heart and said, “It doesn’t matter whether I agree or not, as long as you agree.”

    An Yu lowered his eyes and watched the conversation between the two of them. The smile on his face never stopped. It was not until they both looked at him at the same time that he said, “Grandpa, I am very honored to be recognized by Luo Luo, and I am very grateful to you for raising him so perfectly. I know that some things I can say may not be possible, but I will do my best to make him happy.”

    “You are wrong. He is not a perfect person, and there are no perfect people in this world, because perfect things are fleeting and cannot last long.” Shen Yixiang said.

    An Yu listened carefully and replied, “But he will always stay in my heart.”

    Shen Luo’s cheeks turned red and she looked at him a little embarrassed. Shen Yixiang nodded and said, “Since you said that, I will believe you.”

    “Okay, okay,” Shen Luo pushed Shen Yixiang to the kitchen and said coquettishly, “Grandpa, I want to eat your pork rib soup. I will take him to see grandma and I will be back soon.”

    “Okay, I’ll stew it.” Shen Yixiang promised him dotingly.

    The sun was shining brightly at the moment. Anyu was holding a basket in his left hand and holding him one foot in front of the other in his right hand. His back was itchy from the rays of sunlight.

    Walking into the endless green wheat field, Shen Luo’s mood was as heavy as the soil under his feet. The raised mound was getting closer and closer. There were no weeds on it, and it could be seen that someone was taking good care of it.

    Shen Luo knelt on the ground, with a layer of sponge under his knees. An Yu arranged the things in the basket and knelt side by side with him.

    “Grandma, I’m here to see you.”

    After saying that, he lowered his head deeply, and An Yu also raised his head. He raised An Yu’s hand, looked at him lovingly and said, “This is my sweetheart. You have met him before, and you liked him very much at that time.”

    An Yu tightened her hands and explained, “It’s because you like me, so grandma likes me.”

    This was something Shen Luo never noticed. At that time, he simply thought that An Yu was too attractive. He didn’t notice that You Min showed an unusual liking for him when he first met him.

    “It turns out that grandma had already figured it out at that time.”

    Even though it was a scorching sun, Shen Luo could still feel a cool breeze blowing across his face, blowing away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

    An Yu straightened her back and said solemnly: “Grandma, I know you have always regarded Luo Luo as the treasure in your hand. It is because of you that he is a kind and tough person. Maybe he does not need my protection, but in my heart he will always be above all else.”

    “An Yu, I love you.” Shen Luo’s sincere eyes became more vivid as he declared.

    An Yu held his hand tightly and said softly, “You will protect me.”

    Then he took out the cold ring from his pocket and put it on his ring finger again. Shen Luo’s face was filled with the joy of finding it, and he exchanged the ring for him.

    You Minyuan looked at them kindly from the horizon. The cool wind rose from the ground and swept over them, driving away the heat of noon and bringing refreshing coolness.

    Maybe they won’t stand on the solemn ceremony stage, but at this moment, they are in the vast green loess fields – the ceremony stage built for them by the whole world.

    The wheat wind hits my face slowly, regardless of who comes.

    Today is auspicious, and you should be determined for life.
