Fu Ze asked softly, his eyes full of nostalgia, as if he was lost in memories.

Jiang Lu nodded slightly, also seeming to be immersed in memories.

"Of course I remember. When I was in school, I often went under this tree to bask in the sun. It was also here that I met you, who were reading under the tree."

At that time, Fu Ze was a recognized academic master in the school. Although he was a boarding student, he had excellent grades and often ranked first in the class.

Fu Ze smiled slightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "Yes, at that time you were like a little sun, suddenly bursting into my sight. You were running out of breath, your face was flushed, and you were sitting not far from me."

Jiang Lu laughed softly, "I still remember the way you looked at me at that time, as if you were looking at a naughty child. Later, I was curious about what book you were reading, so I leaned over to take a look, but I found that I couldn't understand it at all."

Fu Ze smiled and said, "You were so cute when you frowned and tried to understand. Since then, every time you come under this tree, I will unconsciously look forward to it, looking forward to you sitting next to me, even if it's just to bask in the sun quietly."

Jiang Lu's eyes softened. "Me too, actually. Every time I see you reading seriously under the tree, I feel at ease. Later, we started chatting, and you told me stories from the books, those wonderful worlds that I had never known before."

"Yes, at that time I felt that sharing those stories with you was the happiest thing for me. We spent so many wonderful afternoons together under the tree, and those times were like this old locust tree, deeply rooted in my heart."

As Fu Ze spoke, he looked at Jiang Lu even more tenderly.

Jiang Lu raised her eyes and looked at him, "This tree witnessed our meeting and our acquaintance, like a special symbol between us."

Fu Ze couldn't help but hold her hand, "Come with me."

He took her behind a big tree, as if looking for something.

Finally, he saw the words "Ze" and "Lu" carved on the trunk of a big tree, with a heart in the middle.

"Lulu, this love is still there." Fu Ze looked delighted.

Seeing Fu Ze as happy as a child, Jiang Lu felt as if they had returned to their student days.

Time has passed. They haven't seen each other for three years. When they meet again, everything has changed.

At this time, the breeze blew, and the locust tree leaves rustled, as if accompanying their memories.

Jiang Lu gently stroked the words on the tree and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be here after so many years. Just like our memories, even if they are buried by time, they still exist."

Fu Ze looked at Jiang Lu, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "In the past three years, I often think of this place and you. Lulu, have you been well in the past three years?"

Jiang Lu lowered her head slightly. "There are laughter and tears. Many times I feel like something is missing. What about you?"

Fu Ze gently held Jiang Lu's shoulders, "Me too, my heart always feels like it's missing a piece without you. Lulu, after this reunion, I don't want to be separated from you again."

Jiang Lu's eyes sparkled with tears. "But we are no longer the same as we were before. So much has happened in the past three years."

Fu Ze held Jiang Lu in his arms and said, "No matter what happened, we can start over. Just like the words and the love on this tree, they are always there, and our feelings are always there too."

Jiang Lu trembled slightly in Fu Ze's arms, "Is it really possible? Can we go back to the past?"

Fu Ze let go of Jiang Lu and stared at her intently, "Lulu, at this point, do you still want to escape?"

"You don't blame me, because I was the one who abandoned you?" This matter has always been a knot in Jiang Lu's heart, which she can't get rid of no matter what. It is also a thorn in her heart.

"I've blamed you, I've hated you, I've resented you, and I've struggled." Fu Ze looked at her deeply, "I even thought that after returning home, I would definitely take revenge on you and let you taste the feeling of being abandoned and humiliated."

Jiang Lu's body suddenly stiffened when she heard Fu Ze's words. The tears in her eyes could no longer be held back. She said with trembling lips, "Fu Ze, I know I was wrong. At that time, I... I really had my reasons. I was too cowardly. I didn't dare to face our feelings, nor did I dare to face the uncertainty of the future. That's why I..."

Fu Ze raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Jiang Lu's face. Although there were traces of pain in his eyes, there was more determination at the moment. "During the days when I was abroad, I was full of hatred for you at first, but every time when it was late at night and I thought of the little things we did under this tree, I couldn't hate you anymore. I kept trying to understand the reasons why you left, and slowly tried to understand you."

Jiang Lu tightly grasped Fu Ze's arm, as if grasping the last ray of hope, "Then... can you still forgive me now? Can we really start over like you said?"

Fu Ze sighed softly and hugged Jiang Lu again, "Lulu, the moment I saw you again, I knew that the hatred in my heart was completely gone. I only know that I still care about you so much, and those memories are too precious to me. I don't want to give up our possible future because of past mistakes."

Jiang Lu burst into tears in Fu Ze's arms, "Fu Ze, thank you, thank you for giving me a chance. This time, I won't run away again. No matter what difficulties I encounter, I want to face them with you."

"Then can you tell me now why you broke up with me?" Fu Ze hugged Jiang Lu and patted her back gently. He was willing to listen to her explanation.

Jiang Lu came out of his arms and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Fu Ze reached out and wiped the tears from her face.

"Then I said, you can't be angry."

"Okay, I'm not angry." Seeing Huo Jingchen and Lin Wanwan so happy, and seeing Song Zekai pursuing Huo Ruilin again, he didn't want to miss anything related to Jiang Lu again.

He just wanted to keep her by his side, even if he had to use any means necessary, even if she hated him, he didn't want to let go.

"Three years ago, at that time, I didn't know you were the eldest son of the Fu family, and you never told me your identity. My parents knew about your existence and thought you were a child from a poor family, so they didn't let me associate with you." Jiang Lu said word by word.

Fu Ze frowned slightly, his heart full of surprise, "Just because of this? Just because I didn't reveal my identity, you listened to your parents and broke up with me?"

Jiang Lu hurriedly shook her head, "No, Fu Ze, listen to me. At that time, my father's company was about to go bankrupt, and eating was almost a problem. They felt that there was no future for me to be with you, and... and they had already found a marriage for me, and the other party could get our company back on track..."

Hearing this, Fu Ze frowned, "So, that person is the one called Su Mu?"
