"This is sunglasses for my second aunt, this is a flower umbrella for my sister, this is a folding paper fan for my brother, this is..." I was packing my luggage while counting the gifts I brought back.

Things big and small were placed all over the floor, almost occupying half of the living room.

"Did you gain a lot this time?" Dad glanced at the objects on the ground. He had just made a pot of green tea and came out of the kitchen and almost stepped on them.

"Well, it's okay." I just finished tidying up, stood up, and looked at them with satisfaction.

"Is so much for giving away?" My mother asked from a distance while sitting on the sofa in the living room.

"Yes, this is also my first time traveling by myself. Everyone is always nice to me, some small gifts, thank you for giving back." After speaking, I bent down and picked up the presents for my parents.

"Nong, this is for my mother - a peerless and plump pearl necklace, this is for my father - an eye-catching and super floral shirt in a scenic spot, I hope my dear two will always be young and beautiful!" I gladly presented it The gift that this trip brings to them.

"It's a good necklace for your mother, and this floral shirt for your father, how old do you think I am this year?" Dad took the shirt and smiled and blamed.

"Hey, the real age is not in the appearance, but in the heart. Conversely, love is born from the heart. Dad has a young heart, so the appearance will not be much worse. This floral shirt is very suitable!" I happily explained.

"You really know how to say that if you go out for a while, you will get better at talking!" As he said, Dad tried on a floral shirt, and came to the pier mirror to look at it, "How do you feel?"

"It's very good, my son has good eyesight!" Mom praised from the side, "It's very suitable for leisure time."

At this moment, a gust of wind came from nowhere, and the rolled-up portrait on the ground was blown away.

"Yo, what's that?" Dad's eyes were sharp. As soon as the portrait was blown away by the wind, he noticed it from the full-length mirror.

I followed his gaze, "Oh, a portrait, drawn on the side of the road when traveling."

"We also have this thing here, so we don't have to travel all the way to D City to paint." Dad came over to have a look.

"That's different. The ones bought in places of travel have a commemorative meaning." My mother gave him a blank look and responded for me by the way.

"Okay, 'made in D City, donated to the voyage—Pineapple'?" Dad's tone obviously turned into a question sentence at the end of the reading, and then he said to himself, "There is also one called Pineapple? Those who are engaged in art like it. Come up with these weird stage names."

"Pineapples..." For a moment, my thoughts were drawn back to the night when I was painting in D City.

……

"Oh! It's raining, what should I do with the painting?!" I anxiously took the drawing paper off the drawing board, but didn't know where to put it.

"Let's go, I'll take a taxi right now." The sudden rain made Fengli a little confused.

"How can it rain like this!"

"No! There is no sign at all!"

"Stop talking, hurry home!"

...People scattered quickly without complaining.

I hugged the painting tightly in my arms, and Fengli tried to stop the car on the side of the road.

After a while, the car didn't arrive, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier. When we were about to become drowned, someone suddenly came over and handed us a raincoat.

"If you need it, take it, but I only have this one extra." The one who spoke turned out to be the plain writer who was on the square just now.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you..." As if I saw a life-saving straw, I grabbed the raincoat, wrapped it around the painting in my arms, and couldn't help but thank you.

"You're welcome!" The plain writer raised his hand and disappeared into the heavy rain without looking back.

……

"Xiaxia quietly passed away and left a little secret. I can't tell you the bottom of my heart. I can't tell you. The evening wind blows and warms my heart, and I think of you again..." The host carefully prepared a song for everyone on the radio, That's how summer ended.

"What are you doing?" Fengli called, "You seem to be in a good mood, are you listening to music?"

"Fortunately, I'm packing my luggage and preparing for the start of the new semester." I put the phone on my shoulder and continued to pack in my hand, "What about you, what are you doing?"

"Me? I just finished my work, and I want to tell you something." There was a little excitement in Fengli's tone.

"What's the matter?" I put down the things in my hand and carefully picked up the phone receiver.

"Well, I resigned." Fengli said clearly on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, why did you resign? What happened? Are you okay?" Many questions arose in my mind for a while, but I was more worried about the safety of Pineapple.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Fengli's tone was sure, "I resigned because I plan to start my own company."

"Huh?" I felt like my jaw would drop in shock, "I haven't heard you mention it before, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Before I met you, I really didn't think so, but after you appeared, especially after I decided that we would be together, I felt more and more obliged and responsible to provide you with a better living environment for us " Fengli paused for a moment, "After all considerations, I decided to start my own business and start my own company!"

"Then you've resigned now, do you have any plans to start a company?" After hearing Fengli's remarks, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart, which seemed to be mixed with excitement and disappointment.

"I want to open a building materials company." Fengli cleared her throat, "You know I never fight unprepared, and of course I have prepared and planned for all of these. Various market research, investment partner negotiations, Registering a company, choosing an address, etc. I’m doing everything you can’t think of. You don’t always ask me what I’m busy with recently, and I often don’t have time to reply to your calls and text messages in time. I’m just busy with these. I haven’t told you You also intend to give you a surprise when things come to fruition."

"Then if you say that, is it a matter now?" The blood in my whole body surged up, and my heart seemed to rise to my throat in an instant.

"Basically, the more important parts have been finished, and there are some small things left, which should be done within a month. If it is fast, the ribbon-cutting can be done before October!" Pineapple said these things with confidence.

"Oh, yes! It's great!" My eyes suddenly lit up, as if I saw a new company right in front of me. "Is there anything I need to do?"

"What can you do? Hahaha!" Fengli burst out laughing when she heard what I said.

"Secretary, accounting, purchasing, customer service, execution, sales, which one can't I do?" The more I talked, the more excited I became, but Pineapple just kept laughing, so I added, "Oh, I can't do it for you. It’s okay to clean up the company! Or else? I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

"You, you don't need to do anything, just finish your university studies." Fengli stopped laughing, "If you really want to help, you can serve me tea, pour water, squeeze my legs when you get home, and take care of me more. Enough."

"It's a good idea, why should I do these things?" I pretended to be unhappy and asked back.

"Because you are my great pineapple's sacred and inviolable private property!" Pineapple's confident and bold laughter accompanied these words to my heart.
