It's not too late to meet in the book

Since that moonlit night chess game, the interactions between Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yu have become more frequent.

As autumn deepened, the fragrance of osmanthus in the back garden of the Su Mansion became more and more intense, as if even the air was filled with a sweet scent. Lin Yu and Su Xiaoxiao's interactions, like the fragrance of osmanthus, became more frequent and profound.

That day, Lin Yu walked into the gate of the Su Mansion, carrying a box of exquisite osmanthus cakes and several bags of various candied fruits. He walked through the corridor with ease and went straight to the back garden, his heart full of anticipation for meeting Su Xiaoxiao.

In the back garden, Su Xiaoxiao was squatting in front of a clump of chrysanthemums, carefully admiring the blossoms. She was wearing a light and elegant autumn outfit, blending in harmoniously with the surrounding scenery.

"Xiaoxiao, look what I brought you?" Lin Yu's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tranquility of the back garden.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up when she heard the voice and saw Lin Yu standing not far away, holding a food box in his hand, with a warm smile on his face. She was delighted and quickly stood up to greet him. "Lin Yu, why are you here? And you brought so many delicious foods!"

Lin Yu handed the food box to Su Xiaoxiao and gently opened the lid. The aroma of osmanthus cake instantly filled her nose. "This is the osmanthus cake I just bought, and your favorite candied fruit. Come and try it. Do you like it?"

Su Xiaoxiao took a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and her mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. "Hmm, it's delicious! Lin Yu, you always know what I like." She said with a smile, her eyes flashing with gratitude and joy.

The two sat on a stone bench in the garden, enjoying the food and chatting. They talked about the trivialities of their lives, sharing each other's joys and sorrows, as if they had endless things to say.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know? I recently learned a new song. How about I play it for you next time?" Lin Yu suddenly said, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

Su Xiaoxiao was delighted when she heard this. "Great! I've always been looking forward to hearing your piano music. When the time comes, I can make you a pot of good tea. It's so pleasant to think about it while you enjoy the tea and listen to the music."

The two smiled at each other, as if they had already seen that beautiful scene. They continued chatting, enjoying this rare peace and joy.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a few osmanthus flowers fell from the tree and landed on their heads and shoulders. Su Xiaoxiao reached out to catch a piece of osmanthus, sniffed it gently, and then looked at Lin Yu with a smile. "Lin Yu, look at how beautiful this osmanthus is! I think our friendship is like this osmanthus flower, although inconspicuous, but it exudes a faint fragrance."

Lin Yu felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He looked at Su Xiaoxiao, his eyes full of tenderness and gratitude. "Xiaoxiao, you are right. Our friendship is like this osmanthus flower, ordinary but precious. I will cherish every moment we are together."

The two continued strolling through the back garden, admiring the surroundings and enjoying each other's company. They occasionally stopped to discuss the name of a flower, the scent of a certain grass, or the call of a particular bird. These seemingly insignificant details became beautiful memories they shared.

As they walked, they came to a pond, where several goldfish were swimming leisurely, as if they were also enjoying the tranquility.

"Lin Yu, look how cute that goldfish is!" Su Xiaoxiao said, pointing at the goldfish in the pond, her eyes sparkling with childishness and joy.

Lin Yu smiled when he heard this. "Yes, they are indeed very cute. Xiaoxiao, do you want to feed them?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, and Lin Yu bought a bag of fish food from the stall next to her and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao. She took the fish food and gently sprinkled it into the pond. The goldfish immediately gathered around, scrambling to grab the food.

Looking at the happy faces of the goldfish, Su Xiaoxiao and Lin Yu couldn't help laughing. Their laughter echoed in the back garden.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is almost dusk. Lin Yu and Su Xiaoxiao sat in the pavilion in the back garden, watching the afterglow of the sunset, enjoying the tranquility and beauty.

"Lin Yu, I'm really happy today. Thank you for spending such a wonderful day with me." Su Xiaoxiao said softly, her eyes full of gratitude and happiness.

Lin Yu felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard this. He held Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, as if to freeze this happiness in this moment forever. "Xiaoxiao, I'm very happy too. With you by my side, I feel that every day is full of meaning."

The two smiled at each other without saying anything. They knew that their hearts were already closely connected, and no matter what the future held, they would cherish this rare friendship and create more beautiful memories together.

"Lin Yu, let's go to the back garden together to appreciate the flowers and feed the goldfish next time!" Su Xiaoxiao said suddenly, her voice full of anticipation and excitement.

"Okay, I will definitely come." Lin Yu responded, his eyes flashing with determination and tenderness.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help blushing when she saw Lin Yu like this.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, gilding their friendship with a golden glow. At this beautiful moment, their hearts seemed to be closely connected, and they looked forward to every reunion in the future.
