Jiang Shenghe was on a winning streak, and the cards in his hand right now were so good that he didn’t need any card skills at all to win.

Luo Qi said in a very low voice, “We can win again this time.”

Jiang Shenghe was busy sorting out the cards and hadn’t heard what she said clearly. He leaned towards her and asked her gently, “What did you just say to me?”

The two of them were close to each other. He tilted his head down to talk to her; Luo Qi looking up at him. His scent hit her nose even as he filled her eyes.

Luo Qi pointed at the cards in his hand and said, “It’s a sure win.”

Jiang Shenghe smiled and said, “I’m riding your good fortune.”

She brought him good luck.

Luo Qi looked at him. Some words she couldn’t say in front of others. She typed on her phone for him to read: [Then I’ll always sit next to you.]

Jiang Shenghe borrowed her cell phone and typed a reply: [Come a little closer to me.]

The two of them kept typing and looking at each other, forgetting that there were other people at the table.

To everyone else, they looked like they were showing their affection, acting as if no one was around.

… …

They played until sunset, then packed up and left.

Friends’ cars drove away one after another. Jiang Shenghe and his cousin Jiang Shengyu were the last to leave. Luo Qi and Shen Tang teased Doudou and Mimi behind the car.

Jiang Shengyu asked him, “Will you and Luo Qi come to my house for dinner tonight?”

“Let’s do it next time,” Jiang Shenghe said. “My mother asked me to go to the old house tonight. I don’t know what’s going on.” He then added, “Thank Shen Tang for me.”

Technology was key to creating a 5D scenario at their wedding banquet. He was not familiar with the relevant companies, so Shen Tang took the initiative to arrange it for him. She knew a technology company that was a global leader in holographic projection technology.

“Luo Qi, let’s go.” Jiang Shenghe opened the car door, and Doudou and Mimi jumped into the car.

Luo Qi said goodbye to Jiang Shenghe’s cousin and his wife and sat in the passenger seat.

“What did you talk about with your cousin?” she asked casually.

“Work matters.”

The wedding was a surprise for her. Jiang Shenghe naturally wouldn’t reveal a single detail.

“Have you been calling Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Sixun by their names since you were young?” Luo Qi has known him for so long, but she has never heard him call either of them ‘older brother’.

“I called them ‘older brother’ when I was a kid, but I haven’t called them that since I grew up.”

The most memorable occasion back then was when he and Qin Moling got into trouble, and he asked Jiang Shengyu to help him write a self-reflection. Even back then, Qin Moling could easily write 500 words without issue. But at that age, the exam requirement to describe a picture was only 150 words. Jiang Shenge wrote a dry 100-word essay. Teacher Chen accused him of being perfunctory and having a poor attitude, and then told him go back and reflect before re-doing it.

After class, he went to Grade 3 Section 2 to look for Jiang Shengyu. He leaned against the window and waved to Jiang Shengyu, “Older Brother, come out.”

Jiang Shengyu paused from shoving a classmate and poked his head out of the window. He asked him what was going on.

“Older Brother, please help me write a self-reflection paper.”

“Why don’t you write it yourself?”

“I’m only in Grade 2, I can’t write many words.”

“And do you think a Grade 3 student is any better?”

He turned around and went back into his classroom.

During the break, he sent a Chinese dictionary to Class 3-2 and asked someone to give it to his cousin.

Luo Qi almost laughed out loud when she heard this. No wonder that even after more than twenty years, Teacher Chen still had such a vivid memory of Qin Moling and Jiang Shenghe.

“Anything else you did?”

“Probably. But I can’t remember it right now.” Jiang Sheng glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. “I’ll tell you when I remember.”

They went straight to the old house from the resort, and he saw his mother in the kitchen, kneading dough. The counter was covered with flour, and it was a mess.

“Mom, what are you doing?”

“I’m making you birthday noodles.”

“It’s still early for my birthday.” It was a week away.

Liang Zhen said, “I’m celebrating your birthday in advance. I’m going to Suzhou tomorrow.”

She glanced at her son and said, “It’s neither too hot nor too cold now, and the renovation smell in the house has almost dissipated. Luo Qi’s mother asked me to come over for a few days and discuss your wedding plans.”

She didn’t know much about Suzhou’s wedding customs, so she wanted to take this opportunity to learn a little bit about them.

Liang Zhen asked her son for his opinion, “Can I take Doudou and Mimi with me? Your parents-in-law have never seen them before.”

“Okay.” Jiang Shenghe rolled up his sleeves and wiped the countertop with a damp rag. His mother rarely cooked, and he has never enjoyed the pleasure of having her make him hand-rolled noodles before.

He leaned against the island counter to talk to his mother, glancing at the living room from time to time. Doudou and Mimi were clinging to Luo Qi; she was feeding them snacks.

After coming here more often, she gradually became less reserved.

“Mom,” Jiang Shenghe retracted his gaze and looked at his mother, “This time when you go to Suzhou, please ask about Luo Qi’s favorite places when she was a child and which places she remembers most fondly.”

Liang Zhen answered almost immediately, “The place she should remember the most is her old home. Sadly, they had no choice but to sell that villa.”

Jiang Shenghe had wanted to ask which places in Suzhou Luo Qi remembered most and then recreate them at the wedding. However, his mother’s words reminded him of something he had overlooked: he hadn’t thought to see whether her childhood home could still be recovered.

That night, he called Lu Baisheng and asked him to help find out the current condition of the house and whether anyone lived there.
