Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1292: As If Meeting an Old Friend Again

Chapter 1292: Chapter 1292: As If Meeting an Old Friend Again

It’s clear from the tone that Fang Liang has a fondness for the woman who just left.

Perhaps, he and she once loved passionately in their youth.

It’s just a pity that so many things happened later.

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated too, she hadn’t encountered this situation before and didn’t know what to do.

After a while, Gu Qiaoqiao said, "Let’s wait for a while then."

Xiao Wen nodded.

Afterward, Gu Qiaoqiao followed Xiao Wen toward the riverbank.

High up on the embankment, Old Man Sima stood with hands behind his back, facing the river breeze, gazing at the scenery on the opposite shore.

On the opposite shore, shaded by green trees, were pavilions and towers, and from afar, one could still see the carved beams and painted pillars, the steep flying eaves.

On top squatted majestic household divine beasts.

There, now a tourist attraction, was said to have been the mansion of a prince of Jinling City long ago.

Things have changed, and who knows how many owners have lived there; everything changes, even the river water that flows eastward is not yesterday’s water.

Only the green trees in the courtyard have stood tall through the centuries.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen stood behind Elder Sima, seemingly feeling a sense of inexplicable melancholy.

So, they remained silent, worried about disrupting the old man, and imitated Old Man Sima’s posture, looking deeply ahead.

Elder Sima sensed the two people behind him, turned around, and saw the two children looking serious, unsure of what had happened, he asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"

"No, nothing happened." Xiao Wen quickly replied.

"If nothing happened, why do you both look like this?" The old man furrowed his brows.

Gu Qiaoqiao blinked her big eyes and said innocently, "We were afraid of interrupting your thoughts..."

Sima shook his head with amusement, then asked, "Can we go to the Fang family now?"

"We can..." Xiao Wen quickly said, then winked at Gu Qiaoqiao.

The two girls shared an awkward smile.

Afterward, the three walked slowly towards the Fang family.

There were pedestrians passing by, but none in a hurry, obviously, people here were accustomed to walking at a leisurely pace in the busy market.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the Fang family.

It was quiet inside.

Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen exchanged a glance, Xiao Wen stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Brother Fang, are you home?"

"I am..." A clear and pleasant voice immediately responded, "The door is unlocked."

Then they heard the sound of a moving wheelchair.

Xiao Wen pushed open the gate.

Not far away, Fang Liang was slowly coming towards the gate in a wheelchair, smiling, still as elegant and refined, as if what happened in the courtyard earlier was just a dream of Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen.

It must be said that Fang Liang’s skill in disguise is commendable.

He enthusiastically spoke, "It’s Uncle, please come in."

Elder Sima paused at the entrance, his sharp gaze swept over Fang Liang, he had seen this young man before, when he was leaving the neighborhood committee courtyard with his daughter, his daughter mentioned her Nirvana Stone was missing, so he went back to look for it, and saw this young man anxiously talking to the neighborhood committee aunt.

The young man was injured at that time, seeing there were already people, Elder Sima just returned the same way.

The Nirvana Stone wasn’t particularly important to the Nirvana People, somewhat dispensable, and a few days later his daughter just forgot about it, and afterward he took her away from Jinling City.

It really is fate. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

He only paused for a moment, then walked into the courtyard leisurely, with hands behind his back.

Fang Liang at this time had already come to greet them. After a brief introduction, Fang Liang invited Elder Sima and the two to sit under the grape arbor to drink tea and eat fruit.

It seemed to have been prepared in advance.

Among the offerings was watermelon, which Gu Qiaoqiao and Xiao Wen liked last time, also cut into small pieces neatly arranged on the fruit plate.

Fang Liang personally poured tea for the three, Elder Sima didn’t refuse, his demeanor was very natural, and the two girls were the same.

Fang Liang’s lips curled in a smile, "Uncle, these tea leaves came from the Southwest Region, the taste is quite good, have a cup to refresh yourself, and the fruits on the plate are from my own family’s countryside, you can try them too..."

Elder Sima nodded secretly, then took a sip of the cool tea, even he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, surprised, he asked, "These tea leaves are not ordinary, are they?"

"Forgive the laughter, Uncle, but I’ve heard from my father that these tea leaves were picked from a tea tree over six hundred years old."

"Oh, an ancient tea tree?"

"It should be."

"Did you buy it locally?"

"No, that ancient tea tree is in the backyard of the Fang family’s old house, all for family drinking..." Fang Liang spoke with a smile, his voice as pleasant as a breath of spring.

Xiao Wen raised an eyebrow, dissatisfied, "Brother Fang, why didn’t you give us this tea when Qiaoqiao and I came?"

Elder Sima glared at his daughter.

Fang Liang’s smile widened, his eyes laughing, "I brew it for you every time, just that you didn’t notice..."

Xiao Wen quickly took a sip, smacking her lips, she wasn’t good at tasting tea, and so laughed cheekily, "Not as tasty as the watermelon from your countryside garden."

Gu Qiaoqiao pinched her.

Smiled at Fang Liang, then used a toothpick to pick up a piece of watermelon to eat.

This watermelon was addictive.

Yesterday Fang Liang initially wanted them to take a few watermelons back, but because both had to go to the cave yesterday, they declined.

And Fang Liang couldn’t possibly deliver them to the Gu Family.

"Uncle, if you like this tea, there’s half a jar in the study, take home and drink it..."

"My surname is Sima." Elder Sima suddenly said.

"Uncle Sima." Fang Liang smoothly adapted.

Elder Sima’s eyebrows gradually relaxed, he put down the teacup and straightforwardly said, "Fang Liang, where is the stone Xiao Wen gave you?"

"In the study, I’ll bring it to you." Fang Liang said and was about to turn the wheelchair.

"Let’s go together, I need to check your leg." Elder Sima stood up as he spoke, Fang Liang hesitated a bit, then smiled slightly, maneuvering the wheelchair leading Elder Sima slowly toward the study.

Xiao Wen stood up to follow, but was held back by Gu Qiaoqiao, at that moment Elder Sima also turned around, instructing the two girls, "Stay here, don’t follow."

Men and women are different, plus, what needed checking was his leg injury, he wanted to save Fang Liang some face.

Xiao Wen sat down, stuck out her tongue, Gu Qiaoqiao glanced sideways, teasingly said, "No memory."

Xiao Wen didn’t mind, laughing cheekily.

Then joined Gu Qiaoqiao in eating watermelon.

At this time, the two had reached the study.

Fang Liang gave Elder Sima the pendant made from the Nirvana Stone.

He said softly, "Uncle Sima, this is it, its color has changed."

Elder Sima took the stone, rubbed it in his hand for a while, it was truly his first time seeing a Nirvana Stone change color.
