Chu Xia blinked her moist eyes, stared at him angrily for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth and spit out two words: "Beast!!"
Nie Hanqiu raised his eyebrows slightly. Looking at Chu Xia's resentful eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you keep lying down like this, I will really do something beastly."
"I'll get up! I'll get up right away!!" Chu Xia pulled the quilt over her head. After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, she finally pulled off the quilt in frustration and got up again.

Two hours later, Chu Xia stood in front of patches of green scaffolding, looking at the buildings rising from the ground. She was stunned for a long time, then turned her head, looked at Nie Hanqiu and said speechlessly: "Why did you bring me here? ?Planning to buy a new house??”
"..." Nie Hanqiu couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, pointed at the surrounding environment, and said in a low voice: "Take a closer look."
"What are you looking at?" Chu Xia looked at the dusty construction site and couldn't help but put her hand to cover her mouth and nose and said, "Are you looking at the green scaffolding, or are you looking at the yellow land?"
"..." Nie Hanqiu looked at her helplessly, choked by her words for a long time, and finally whispered: "Don't you see that this is the place where we lived when we were children?"
"Uh... ah...!?" When Chu Xia heard what he said, she was stunned. She looked around again with disbelief. After a long while, she still shook her head and said, "I really didn't see it..."
"..." Nie Hanqiu's head was suddenly filled with black lines.
"Really, I didn't notice it at all..." Chu Xia looked at him with an apologetic expression and said: "This city has developed and changed too fast, not to mention that it has been twenty years, and the previous houses should be demolished. They have all been demolished and the surrounding environment has changed a lot. Besides, when I lived here, I was still young and I really didn’t have much impression of this place.”
Nie Hanqiu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stretched out one hand to hold her white and slender hand, and pointed the other hand to a building under construction not far away and said: "Over there, our home used to be."
Chu Xia looked in the direction of his finger, and her eyes were blurred. The buildings under construction and the roaring excavators seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Instead, there was a soft scene of dusk, with warm orange clouds floating in the sky. A red brick and white tiled villa stood quietly in the dusk. In front of the villa was a large sea of blue and purple hydrangeas. Two small figures are running happily in the sea of hydrangeas.
"That's... your home..." Chu Xia looked at the scene in front of her, and the memory in her mind seemed to be opened all of a sudden, and she murmured to Nie Hanqiu.
"Well..." Nie Hanqiu nodded lightly and moved his finger to the left. A blue lake suddenly appeared in front of Chu Xia's eyes.
"That's... the lake in front of our home. In the past summer, we often played in the water there..." Chu Xia blinked and murmured.
Then... She also saw the place where she lived when she was a child, the hill behind the house, and the sycamore tree where she fell.
Chu Xia looked at it and felt inexplicably sad. It turned out that she had forgotten so many things about Nie Hanqiu.
