After lunch the next day, Chen Yi came to pick her up to the zoo as promised. Su Tang was afraid that his grandmother would look at him with some elusive eyes, so he did not dare to let him go upstairs.

When Su Tang arrived downstairs on time, Chen Yi was already standing in front of the car waiting for her.

Chen Yi was probably ready to accompany her crazy. He was dressed in a particularly casual and refreshing manner. He stood under the sun at noon with a smile, and looked bright.

"Can you tell me how much you are now?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, shook his head, the confusion between his eyebrows was clear and transparent in the sun.

"I haven't calculated it?"

Chen Yi nodded.

"Then do you think if the zoo manager wants to borrow you for a few days to show, what price would I offer?"

Chen Yi smiled, held Su Tang, who was smirking at him with his face raised, and strode from the front to the back of the car.

Su Tang was held with one hand and stood shoulder to shoulder with him at the rear of the car, watching him write fluently on the dusty rear windshield with his index finger on the other hand.

——You have to tell them that I am your private collection and refuse all forms of public display.

"Abide by the order!"

S City has only one zoo for decades. After several expansions and repairs in recent years, the original outline has become very blurred. Su Tang can still find some familiar traces in his memory. As soon as he enters the zoo, he drags Chen Yi around like a monkey, and can't help but talk to Chen Yi.

"Hey... here, there was a very short carousel here. I remember sitting on it when I was in elementary school, with both feet reaching the ground."

"Look at this tree... This tree has been here all the time. It is said that it was planted during the Republic of China. When I was so young, I took photos under this tree. In order to shine the whole tree in, my grandmother took me very small, just like a trash can next to the tree."

"The trash cans used to be like this. They were made into frogs with open mouths. When I was a child, I threw the garbage very actively every time I came here..."

On Saturday, the weather was sunny and neither lukewarm nor hot. There were many people coming and going in the zoo. No matter how crazy Su Tang ran, he never forgot to hold Chen Yi's arm tightly.

Since when, this action has been remembered by her body and has become a habit that will be made naturally without passing through the brain.

Chen Yi let her hold her, not looking at the road ahead, but just kept tilting his head and watching her speak seriously, and then looked at the scenery she had pointed at, until she pointed his eyes to the next place.

Su Tang had a strange feeling, as if Chen Yi's gentle gaze had soaked in the past twenty years and flowed into the childhood days in her memory that had been blurred into scattered fragments.

"Chen Yi," Su Tang suddenly stopped Chen Yi's steps under a weeping willow with yellow branches and leaves. "Can you tell me when did you like me?"

Chen Yi was already stunned by her. Seeing her asking this seriously, she was even more stunned for a moment. The wind blew the branches of the weeping willows and passed by his shoulders, as if he was messing around for him.

"Even if there is a little bit of good feelings," Su Tang asked with his arm. The children around him were so many voices, and only Chen Yi, who was close to him, could tell the low voice of her. "Is it the first time I saw me in a nursing home twenty years ago?"

She even forgot about that inadvertent first meeting, so naturally she couldn't remember what she was like at that time. However, looking around in the zoo, four-year-old girls were in groups. If she said that such a little girl would be fallen in love with an eight-year-old boy at first sight, even if Chen Yi nodded, Su Tang would find it difficult to believe.

But no matter whether from counting from front to back or pushing from back to forward, Su Tang could not determine when he was surrounded by such gentleness and tenderness.

"Or the day you went to the airport to pick me up?"

Chen Yi raised his hand in a daze, as if he wanted to say something to her in sign language. He suddenly remembered something, and then lowered his hand and took out his cell phone, stood under the shadow of a tree by the roadside and quickly typed a line of words, and handed it to Su Tang.

——Why ask this question?

Su Tang knew the sign language of this sentence. Her sign language level was clearer than herself. Su Tang guessed that he gave up using sign language and used a more troublesome way to express this sentence, probably because he was worried that this unique way of speaking would attract some unpleasant attention.

Su Tang threw his cell phone into his bag in anger.

"I just want to know."

Chen Yi was in a good mood. Su Tang deprived him of the right to use his mobile phone. He still quietly gathered his smile in the joyful noisy. He still didn't use sign language. He turned around and looked around, then took Su Tang's hand and walked straight towards a beverage stall in front of him.

Buying drinks in a zoo is like buying popcorn in a cinema or buying lunch boxes on a train. It is as good as the price is low, so although there are many people in the zoo, the drink stall is still deserted.

Before they could gain a foothold, the old man who set up the stall asked enthusiastically, "What do you want?"

Chen Yi's eyes fell on the old man's face. He must not know what the old man asked. Su Tang wanted to answer for him, but he really didn't know what to answer.

He doesn't seem to be thirsty.

Chen Yi's eyes briefly lingered among the neatly arranged bottles and jars, then reached out to pick up a can of drinks from the listener, and handed it to Su Tang with a smile.

Su Tang took it to his hand blankly and found that Chen Yi had chosen a can of beer. Because it was placed in the open air, the entire can was covered with a layer of dust, and it felt a rustling and sticky discomfort in his hand.

She asked him when he started to like her, and he bought her beer, what does that mean...

When Su Tang stared at the jar and frowned, the old man immediately took out a rag from the back of the stall, "Come on, I'll wipe it for you. They are all newly taken out, but the wind is strong and blowing, just wipe it..."

“No, no…”

"Oh, my cloth is clean too!"

The old man said earnestly, and Su Tang felt embarrassed to refuse again, so he reached out and handed it back. He was about to ask Chen Yi what this meant, but turned his head straight and only met the air.

Su Tang was stunned and lowered his head, only to find that Chen Yi had already half-kneeled down on the ground, supporting the ground with one hand, holding a broken brick that he had picked up from somewhere in the other hand, and writing words on the cement floor.

——This question is difficult to answer at a specific time point. Just like brewing wine, it is difficult to know when the first ethanol molecule appears, but the process of fermenting raw materials into alcohol under the action of yeast is continuous. Although I cannot be sure when I started to like you, I can answer you. After the moment I started to like you, my love for you continued to increase and not decrease until it reached saturation and then stabilized for a long time.

Chen Yi half-kneeled on Su Tang's right side, writing from right to left in vertical lines, just to the end of Su Tang's feet. In order to seek speed, Chen Yi wrote a bit sloppy, with some edges and corners smoothly passing by. The brick-red handwriting spread on the gray concrete floor, a warm and gentle area.

When Chen Yi finished writing and stood up, Su Tang had not yet come to his senses in his sudden action.

Chen Yi lying on the ground to write is much more eye-catching than sign language. After a while, a thick layer of people watching the fun were surrounded. Some were laughing, some were making excuses, and some were taking photos to keep the truth. Su Tang also heard a young mother smile at her daughter who was one or two years old in her arms and said, "Look at how beautiful the words written by this uncle..."

Chen Yi stood opposite her through these lines of words, standing with his hands behind his back, smiling as if no one was around, implicit and gentle.

The old man who set up a beverage stall was standing behind the stall and could not see what was happening on the ground in front of the stall. However, when he saw so many people suddenly surrounded his stall, he walked out of the back of the stall in confusion. He saw the words written by Chen Yi on the ground, and he was stunned for a moment and jumped up suddenly.

"Oh my god...you guy! Get it off quickly, get it off, what's the writing about...and let the administrator see that he's going to fine me!"

Chen Yi only saw the old man saying something in a hurry, but did not see the specific content clearly, and looked at Su Tang with a little confused.

Most tourists did not forget to spend money to buy tickets to play, especially many of them came to play with their children. When they saw that the old man who set up the stall was anxious, they were afraid that they would get into a dispute and sweep away their lives. Most of them dispersed in groups of three or three.

The circle formed by the crowd became thin, and some people who had just been blocked and didn't see the situation clearly looked forward curiously. Su Tang had just taken Chen Yi to the side, and before he could apologize to the old man, he heard a familiar voice calling her with full disbelief.

"Su Tang?"

Su Tang was stunned and looked at the source of the sound, and saw Lu Xiaoman with big eyes staring into a copper bell.

Lu Xiaoman's husband stood next to Lu Xiaoman with a little boy over one year old. His expression was more dignified than Lu Xiaoman, but the surprise in his eyes was no less than Lu Xiaoman's.

Lu Xiaoman exclaimed, "It's really you!"

Su Tang just now felt that it was no big deal to be watched by others, but now she was a little crying.

She had thought of countless ways to introduce Chen Yi to Lu Xiaoman, but she didn't expect that she would meet this way. Not only did she meet Lu Xiaoman, but also Lu Xiaoman's whole family...

Before Su Tang could speak, Lu Xiaoman had already walked over quickly and recognized Chen Yi who looked at her two steps away from Su Tang's eyes.

"This is not, that, that..."

Lu Xiaoman stared straight at Chen Yi's face, his eyes widened again.

Su Tang smiled and finished her words, "Chen Yi, my boyfriend."

Su Tang said, patting Chen Yi's arm and pulling the somewhat puzzled gaze that fell on Lu Xiaoman's body back to his lips.

"This is Lu Xiaoman, my friend in the company. She called me when I was in the hospital yesterday. The one behind her holding the child and carrying the camera was her husband, Qi Dong."

Chen Yi was slightly stunned and hurriedly threw the small piece of broken brick that had been holding in his hand to the unhindered place on the roadside, patted Bo Chen between his fingers, and shook hands with Lu Xiaoman with a smile.

After Lu Xiaoman shook hands with Chen Yi in a silence, he looked at the lines of words written on the ground with a red brick for a while. Until her husband also held the child and shook hands with Chen Yi, Chen Yi smiled and gently shook the chubby little hand that her son grabbed with three fingers. Lu Xiaoman remembered to comment on the "three good men" that Su Tang himself chose.

Lu Xiaoman's evaluation is only four words, with implicit semantics but strong feelings.

"What the hell……"

Although Chen Yi saw this sentence clearly, he didn't understand it. He turned to look at Su Tang for help, which made Su Tang angry and amused.

"I'm praising you... you should clean up the ground and let the administrator see that they are going to be fined."

Chen Yi was stunned, and suddenly seemed to understand something. He quickly looked up and smiled apologetically at the old man who set up the stall. Before he could take practical actions, he was stopped by Lu Xiaoman.

"Hey hey... wait a moment, don't wipe it!"

Lu Xiaoman turned around and took his son from his husband, "Let Qi Dong take a picture for you, this must be remembered!"

Chen Yi didn't see Lu Xiaoman's words clearly, but when he saw Lu Xiaoman's husband smiled and took off the SLR camera hanging on his shoulder, unscrewed the lens cover, he also guessed what Lu Xiaoman had said. Su Tang had just waved his hand at Lu Xiaoman and his wife with a red face, and Chen Yi hugged her with a smile.

Qi Dong clicked several times, and it was not until Su Tang relaxed and showed a natural smile to the camera that Qi Dong compared the two with satisfaction with a gesture of ok.

The words on the ground were cleaned by Qi Dong and Chen Yi. After Qi Dong failed to be selected for Huazheng's recruitment, he started a photography studio based on his personal hobbies. He was full of literary style and worked with Shen Yi, and his temperament was not at all unconventional.

After the two of them had a little bit of a bad intention, Chen Yi gave Qi Dong the can of beer that he was embarrassed to buy. Before Su Tang returned the phone to Chen Yi, the two of them even chatted with guessing.

Even the son of Lu Xiaoman's family became very interested in Chen Yi and took the initiative to open his hand to ask Chen Yi to hug him. Su Tang found that when Chen Yi held this little guy and watched the peacock spread his tail, there was a pure happiness on the two faces, both big and small.

However, Lu Xiaoman, who likes gossip the most, asked nothing. Su Tang couldn't help but ask her why quietly, and Lu Xiaoman stared at her squintly.

"I have been worshipping him as an idol for half a month. I don't know what happened to him. I just don't know that the healthy, beautiful and gentle woman he likes is actually you..." Lu Xiaoman said, looking at Chen Yi, who was watching the peacock in front of the railing with two men in her family, and wailed in anger, "Why do I admire such an inexplicable person!"

Su Tang was so angry that he chased Lu Xiaoman and played together. When the three old men turned to find them, they were already laughing and couldn't remember why they started.

Chen Yi invited Lu Xiaoman's family to have supper on the grounds of compensating for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays that he accidentally tossed. Chen Yi drank a little wine and held Su Tang in his arms on the way home, staring at the person in his arms deeply, smiling at her, either strong or lightly.

Su Tang poked his chest angrily and amusedly.

"I tell you, letting Lu Xiaoman know that we are together officially means that the whole world knows that we are together. Are you mentally prepared?"

Chen Yi smiled deeply, nodded deeply, held her hand, and wrote in her palm with his fingers.

The light in the car at night was very dark, and the blurry vision was supplemented by clearer touch. Su Tang accurately read the words Chen Yi left in her palm.
