Hearing this, Fan Yu nodded .
"I still remember that place . I'll take you there . " As Fan Yu spoke, he put down the teacup in his hands and stood up .
His warm gaze fell gently on Nian Xiaomu .
From the time they had been apart, it had been almost 10 years .
There were many things that he had some impression of, but could not remember clearly anymore .
Since he had not been able to find her, he did not have the courage to go back to their childhood hangout after he returned to the country .
It had been almost a decade since he stepped foot there…
The group of them set off very quickly to the Xing Family's old address .
Before they reached the destination, they could already see the burned down mansion from afar .
"I heard that the mansion is still for sale on the market because lives were lost in the fire and potential buyers feel that it is an inauspicious house . The state of the mansion has remained unchanged," Fan Yu explained slowly as the car moved closer to the mansion .
Nian Xiaomu leaned against the car window after hearing his words and looked out toward the Xing Family's old home .
The outer parts of the courtyard, where the fence had been, had already burned down . Whatever was left of the fence had disintegrated after all these years .
Without knowing why, Nian Xiaomu's heart started to beat faster when she saw this place .
She could feel the adrenaline rush within herself .
Bits and pieces of images flashed through her mind .
"Little Miss, this is where you will live in the future . If you have any requests, feel free to let us know…"
"Little Miss, the swing that you like has been set up in the courtyard already . Would you like to try it now?"
"Handsome brother, what is your name?"
"Will you still come by to see me tomorrow? It's okay if you don't come . Just give me your address . I can go and look for you…"
"…"
Although Fan Yu had recounted their time together, she still did not remember any of it .
However, once they got to this place, her forgotten memories started to return in her mind .
"I think I've been here before… It feels familiar…" Nian Xiaomu bit her lips as her face turned pale from thinking about these murky flashbacks .
Yu Yuehan hugged her tightly and reassured her, "No rush . We can do this slowly . "
His low voice was comforting to hear .
Nian Xiaomu rested in his arms, calmed down, and stopped pushing herself to continue recalling the past .
When the car finally stopped at the Xing Family's old mansion, Fan Yu opened the car door and got out first .
Clad in a white suit, Fan Yu stood on the ashen ground . A streak of anguish swept past his handsome face .
He still blamed himself for not protecting his Liuliu back then .
He could only imagine how terrified she must have been at the time . It was all his fault .
"This is the place where we first met . Under that big tree in the Xing Family courtyard, there was a swing . You used to sit on it while reading or drawing . Sometimes, you sketched yourself . Other times, you sketched portraits of handsome young men," Fan Yu said as he pointed to a corner of the courtyard .
Although the place had burned down, there were new branches growing out from the tree .
When he closed his eyes, he could see his Liuliu sitting on the swing that was hanging from the tree branch while holding her sketchbook and drawing…
"At that time, I only knew how to sketch people . That's why I only drew myself and young men," Nian Xiaomu explained quickly when she felt a gust of chilly wind blow past her .
