Fast forward to April, and the weather is getting warmer and warmer.

The cycling club on Zeng Li's website began to organise cycling activities frequently. She was absent many times, but in the end she really had no reason to shirk, and suddenly remembered the ambiguity between Ning Feng and Wu Ying, so she simply signed up.

She hadn't ridden a bicycle for nearly ten years, and she wasn't sure if she was unfamiliar with her skills, so she took the time to rent a bicycle nearby to try it out.

Zeng Li just started to ride it, but she was really not used to it. After walking for two laps, her condition recovered. Later, on the way home, she talked with Ma Yi Yi and decided to buy a bike.

"Wu Ying is going, you really don't want to go?" Zeng Li asked.

"As for my motor nerves, are you sure?" Ma Yi Yi asked back.

Zeng Li stared at Ma Yi Yi intently for three seconds, thinking of how incompetent she was in college, she never tried to persuade her again.

The destination of the weekend cycling activity is an ancient town not far from A City.

She and Wu Ying usually don't like to take part in physical exercise. They can ride ahead at the beginning of the ten-kilometre ride, but they start to fall behind when they encountered continuous uphill sections. Therefore, Ning Feng and another deputy captain had to ride slowly to take care of them.

Seeing Ning Feng's carefulness towards Wu Ying along the way, Zeng Li felt very satisfied. Participating in such physically demanding activities was finally worthwhile.

It was already dark when she returned to the city in the afternoon. After she left the others, she rode home alone.

And Ai Jing Chu's car was also struggling to stop and go on the second ring road.

Under such circumstances, he saw Zeng Li in front of him. She was wearing a tracksuit and a navy cap and was to the right of the car ahead of him. Originally, it was only a back view, and her dress was different from what he usually saw. At first, Ai Jing Chu just thought it was a bit similar. After he observed for a while, and saw the side of her face that turned around inadvertently, he could confirm that it was really her.

He saw her holding the front of the bike with one hand and supporting it with one foot on the ground, waiting for the green light just like him.

Helplessly, the green light has almost no effect, because two cars in front had a quarrel due to collision, and the traffic police came to solve the problem, so there was only one lane left for the car to move slowly.

After half a minute, the green light came on, and she was sandwiched between a pile of battery cars, buses, and cars, occupying her own position and moving carefully.

The road was finally cleared by the traffic police, but the bus in front of her was about to enter the stop, so it blocked her again. On Ai Jing Chu's side, the speed of traffic quickly resumed, and the traffic policemen kept gesturing to the drivers, telling them to hurry up and avoid causing traffic jams. He stepped on the accelerator, glanced at the rearview mirror, turned a corner, and then he could no longer see the figure behind him.

Ai Jing Chu's right hand let go of the steering wheel, moved towards the direction where his phone was placed, then retracted it for a moment, and turned to the radio in the car.

When he drove to the second intersection, there were too many cars waiting, and the green light was too short. He managed to pass one, turned a corner, and got stuck again.

Today, he drove very badly, every time the traffic light was a red.

Ai Jing Chu patiently listened to the series of jokes about the mental hospital told by the anchor on the radio while driving.

The host said: "It is said that it is popular to write novels now. If you throw a brick out of the window casually, all that are hit are writers. There are also such a group of literary lovers in mental hospitals."

Hearing this, the green light finally turned on, and he moved forward slowly without moving a few positions. Just when he was about to cross the line, the light turned red again.

The anchor continued: "One day, mental patient A handed a book to patient B and asked him: 'What do you think of this novel I recently finished?' B read it carefully for a while and replied: 'It's not bad, but there seem to be too many characters.' At this time, the nurse who came in to deliver the medicine saw the book in B's hand and said angrily: 'Hurry up and put the phone book back for me!'"

In order to match his own story, the host played a sound effect of the audience laughing loudly after the story was finished. Ai Jing Chu didn't laugh, he was already distracted and didn't pay attention to what he was talking about.

At this moment, Ai Jing Chu turned his head subconsciously, and saw Zeng Li appearing on the road on the right.

Ai Jing Chu took the left-turn lane, while Zeng Li was on the non-motorised lane with a car in between.

She was wearing a ponytail, and the ends of her hair ran into the collar, and it seemed a little uncomfortable to wrap her neck, so she tilted her head, pulled her hair out, and put it on her shoulders. She turned her face to the left several times, but she didn't notice Ai Jing Chu and his car.

Ai Jing Chu's eyes fell on her, watching quietly, as if he was looking at her, but he didn't seem to be looking at her, with a calm expression.

A moment later, the green light came on.

Ai Jing Chu followed the traffic flow and turned left, while Zeng Li easily peddled her bicycle and turned right downhill.

He looked in the rearview mirror outside the window, and the figure disappeared again.

In an instant, they parted ways.

The radio in the car continued to tell jokes in the hospital, and then started broadcasting advertisements again. Ai Jing Chu suddenly felt that the voices were too noisy, so he simply turned off the radio. He drove the car through a small alley, slid for about ten meters, and stopped by the green belt.

After the cars and people were quiet for a while, he suddenly ignited the ignition, turned the steering wheel, turned around and chased in another direction.

After passing the intersection just now, he looked around while driving.

However, with cars coming and going, bustling and bustling, the street is so big, and he didn't know which way she went, how can he still find her?

Ai Jing Chu smiled wryly at himself and had no choice but to give up.

Just as he was about to give up, he inadvertently found Zeng Li across the road. She came out of a convenience store with a bottle of drink in her hand. The peaked cap she was wearing just now had been taken off, and the hair on her forehead was already pressed down, stained with sweat, and a little messy.

Afraid of losing her, he got out of the car in a hurry, full of joy in another village.

Zeng Li looked up and saw Ai Jing Chu approaching her, with a look of surprise on her face, "Hey, what a coincidence."

He didn't know how to speak for a while, and he didn't know how to explain the ups and downs in his mood just now, so he nodded.

Zeng Li has long been used to his appearance, so she is not afraid of him.

When she went to the hospital for a follow-up visit last week, he didn't say a word to her. As a result, Zhou Wen secretly asked her if she had a fight, which made Zeng Li dumbfounded.

She added: "I live near here, and I just felt a little thirsty after I rode home." After speaking, she gestured to the bicycle parked next to her.

Ai Jing Chu's mind was not here, he had never racked his brains to strike up a conversation with anyone in his life, and finally said bluntly: "I'm going to eat, anyway, I'm alone, let's eat together?"

It's a good thing he didn't mention it, as soon as he said it, he poked Zeng Li's weakness.

Last time, she made an excuse casually, saying that she would treat guests next time, but she didn't say anything after more than a month. At that time, she thought, with a person like him, Director Li had to make appointments again and again to invite him to dinner, and she reluctantly agreed to it, so he should not care about who treats dinner, so she didn't care about it. Now that Ai Jing Chu mentions it so casually, even if the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention, she feels that she has completely become a cheapskate who reneged on her promise and became fat.

Zeng Li hurriedly replied: "Okay, it's rare that you are free, I should treat you, I agreed last time."

Then, Zeng Li went to park the bicycle.

She remembered that he liked spicy food, so she asked: "How about eating hot pot?

"Good."

So, Zeng Li chose a clean and tidy hot pot restaurant nearby, and after ordering the dishes, she suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I have a colleague named Wu Wan Xia, ​​who went to a plastic surgery hospital recently, and was instigated by the people there. She was determined to grind her face into an awl. I told her how scary private hospitals are.

"Awl face?" Ai Jing Chu didn't quite understand the word.

"It's just that the face is small and pointed. I can't tell. Tell me, can your hospital do it?" After speaking, he turned out the photos taken on his mobile phone and showed them to Ai Jing Chu.

Ai Jing Chu took a look and said, "Your colleague?"

"En."

"No wonder, I saw her, that night at Dongshan Hotel, and later in the morning at the top of the mountain."

Zeng Li thought for a while, "It seems to be." It was because she met him twice that I gave Wu Wan Xia a chance to talk, "You have a good memory."

"Occasionally, I am more sensitive to people's appearance."

"Then why don't you remember me?" He remembered her only when he saw the braces several times.

"Because sometimes the appearance of lying on the treatment chair with your mouth open is a little different from the usual one." He replied.

Zeng Li blushed after hearing this, maybe she belonged to the kind who opened her mouth very ferociously.

But she did n't know what Ai Jing Chu was thinking, and then said: "I've sent photo to your phone to have a look."

"Oh." Zeng Li hastily complied.

After a few seconds, Ai Jing Chu received a message on his mobile phone, picked it up and looked it over, "She grinds her jaw."

"You think so too?"

"but......"

"Is it dangerous?"

Ai Jing Chu nodded, his eyelids drooped, and he remained silent.

At this time, the dishes were all served, and the soup in the pot was boiled. There was a small soup pot in front of them, and it was tumbling. Zeng Li hurriedly picked up a plate of food in front of her, shared half of it with each person, and then said: "She is just a person who cares about her appearance so much, I don't know if you can persuade her or not."

Hearing this, Ai Jing Chu glanced at the person in the photo again, "Her eyes are wide apart, and she will look much prettier if the corners of her eyes are opened, so there is no need to grind her bones."

While picking up vegetables, Zeng Li thought about Wu Wan Xia's appearance in her mind, and turned her attention to those eyes for the first time. After careful consideration, she found that what Ai Jing Chu said was right, and immediately felt that his eyes were very poisonous. She couldn't help but put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, straightened her face, brushed her hair and asked, "Teacher Ai, use your professional eyes to find out where is the biggest flaw on my face?" Then she added, "Except for the teeth."

Ai Jing Chu raised his head, looked at her calmly, from eyes to nose to mouth, just like the first time he treated her, and after a long while, he replied solemnly: "I think—it's all good."

Zeng Li didn't expect him to answer so seriously, and her face blushed again. In fact, she really wanted to tell him that she was quite strong in her heart, and she was not afraid of being hit.

After that, she ate vegetables honestly.

After a while, she broke the deadlock and asked again: "If you go to your hospital, what kind of doctor should you go to for grinding your cheeks?"

"That's the mandible, look for maxillofacial surgery."

"Maxillofacial surgery?" Hearing this uncommon word, Zeng Li thought of something, "During Dongshan, your junior sister said you learned this before?"

"En."

"Why did you want to transfer?"

Ai Jing Chu stopped the chopsticks in his hand, thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because I don't need to be on the night shift."

Hearing this answer, Zeng Li couldn't help laughing, "However, the salary of a surgeon should be higher, right?"

"Yeah, I didn't think much about it at first, but after you reminded me, I felt that I was at a loss." Ai Jing Chu also raised the corners of his lips accordingly.

There is rarely a smile on his face, and every time he blooms, he is always reserved, but it is extremely pleasing to the eye.

Zeng Li didn't dare to look at him directly, so she had no choice but to turn her face away. She immediately felt that it was a mistake for them to eat together alone.

She coughed and continued the topic just now, "What does maxillofacial surgery do?"

"It can be said to be a combination of stomatology and surgery." Ai Jing Chu said.

"Where's the jaw?"

Ai Jing Chu pointed to his face, "The upper jaw in the mouth is called the upper jaw, and the lower jaw is the lower jaw."

"Does the chin count?"

"It counts."

She thought of Director Li's son that night, she found him by such a coincidence, and she didn't expect to hit the man's best place.

"Are there many people who do this kind of surgery?" I rarely meet them.

"There were not many before, but now there are many."

"Why?"

"It's a new subject here, and the society has just begun to accept it." Ai Jing Chu said, motioning Zeng Li to watch the LCD TV on the wall behind her.

Zeng Li turned around and saw that the TV was broadcasting entertainment news at 6 o'clock, and a foreign female singer was doing a program in the live broadcast room.

She just heard Ai Jing Chu say: "Do you think there is something wrong with her face?"

Zeng Li replied: "No, it's pretty good." She just doesn't think she looks very photogenic.

"Her chin is underdeveloped and her chin is receding, so her facial features are not slim and three-dimensional."

"Do you want a chin pad?"

"It is a traditional practice to pad the chin with prosthetics, and now you can do maxillofacial chin shaping."

"Chin shaping?"

Ai Jing Chu wrote that word on the table with his fingers, and explained: "It is to cut the front half of the jaw and move it forward."

Zeng Li couldn't help staring at such a bloody thing when he said it calmly, "That's too terrifying."

"It's a minor surgery in the maxillofacial area, and it's lifelong. It's much more natural than simply using prostheses."

Zeng Li turned around to look at the TV again, and the screen happened to turn to the star's side profile. Compared with the nose and mouth, according to Zhou Wen's theory of three points and one line, her chin was indeed a little further back.

"The maxillofacial doctor can also be regarded as a doctor who does plastic surgery?"

"It's not exactly plastic surgery. There are also accidental injuries and fractures, as well as children with birth problems and cleft lip and palate," he said.

Zeng Li felt that Ai Jing Chu would not hesitate to speak only when answering professional questions, so he sighed: "I really envy you who do highly professional work."

"Why?"

"It can make others very curious, so they keep asking questions, and then they won't be left alone in some situations where they have to speak." Zeng Li said.

"Are you afraid of silence?"

"Yes." Zeng Li replied honestly, "It makes people feel uncomfortable and awkward."

"Speak when you want to say it, don't say it when you don't want to say it, and don't care what others think." Ai Jing Chu persuaded calmly.

Zeng Li glanced at him, completely disapproving, and muttered in a low voice: "Of course you can do this." Usually, he is worshiped like a male god in school and hospital, how could he understand the troubles of an ordinary person like her?

I don't know if Ai Jing Chu heard her slander, smiled lightly, and said cooperatively: "I'm also very curious about the people who work in the library."

"What's there to be curious about? Nine to five, occasional shifts on weekends, the library is closed on Friday afternoons, and the entire library has been studying politics and business for ten years."

"Is it the same with Guanhua?" He asked.

At first, Zeng Li didn't understand what the word "Guanhua" meant, but then she remembered that during the follow-up consultation on the Lantern Festival in the first month, the head nurse aunt teased Ai Jing Chu's words, so she was extremely embarrassed, and her face turned red for the third time.

Now, she felt that Ai Jing Chu must have come to take revenge on her.

She caused him to have an affair with the so-called "Guan Hua", she crashed his car, and she kept promising to invite him to dinner, but she never thought about it.

Zeng Li had no choice but to explain: "They made it up. There were only a few young girls in our unit, and only Wu Wan Xia and I were unmarried. In order to sell us, they said that Wu Wan Xia and I were sixties and two."

Hearing this, Ai Jing Chu saw Zeng Li's embarrassment and embarrassment, and couldn't help but laugh.

It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Ai Jing Chu smiled without saying a word, and slowly put down his chopsticks.

Seeing that he seemed to have had enough, Zeng Li asked from the standpoint of the host: "What else do you want to order? Does it suit your taste?"

Ai Jing Chu asked her back: "How about you? Are you full? Do you want to add food?"

Zeng Li gestured to the dishes next to him, "It's all my efforts, and you don't help, I guess it's enough to eat."

As soon as the words were finished, Ai Jing Chu's phone rang, and he got up and left his seat to answer the phone on the other side.

Zeng Li turned his attention back to the churning food in the soup pot.

Just now, in order to prove her sincerity in treating guests to dinner, she tried her best to order a lot of dishes. Now she is sitting at the table alone and looking at the remaining dishes, and she still feels a little distressed.

A large part of her salary is used to rent a house, and the other large part of her expenses is nothing more than the same as most single young people, buying clothes, cosmetics, bags, and electronic products.

After a while, Ai Jing Chu returned to his seat.

Seeing that he seemed to be busy, Zeng Li hurriedly put down his chopsticks and was about to call it a day.

But he said to Zeng Li: "Eat slowly, don't worry."

Zeng Li was too embarrassed, so she called the waiter next to him to pay the bill, but the waiter said, "The gentleman has already settled the bill just now."

Only now did Zeng Li understand why he had to walk so far to answer the phone, but he quietly took the opportunity to pay the bill before her.

"It's agreed that I will invite you." Zeng Li said.

"This time it's mine, next time it's yours." Ai Jingchu explained.

Zeng Li has nothing to do, she can't give him the money, can she? She had to say "sorry", "you are too polite" and so on.

When they came out of the hot pot restaurant, there was still a distance from where Ai Jing Chu parked, so the two walked slowly side by side. After walking for a short distance, Zeng Li remembered the phrase Ai Jing Chu said, "It's yours next time", and slowly pondered for a while, didn't he mean that she still owed him a meal?

Zeng Li wailed suddenly in his heart.

She always felt that eating alone with a young man of the opposite sex would be terribly awkward. This problem was not against the person, and had nothing to do with whether she hated the other party or not.

Walking in front of the zebra crossing, Zeng Li was so focused on how to solve the problem of missing a meal that she didn't pay attention to the traffic lights, and just walked forward with her head buried.

And Ai Jing Chu pulled her back in time.

She was originally wearing the tracksuit for a cycling outing, but because of the high temperature in the hot pot restaurant, she kept rolling up her sleeves, and her elbows were completely exposed to the cool spring breeze in the evening. Standing by her side, Ai Jing Chu saw that she was about to cross the line, so he didn't make a sound, and stopped her footsteps with a slight push.

His fingers lightly touched the skin of her wrist, but the contact surface of five points left by the fingertips was so small that Zeng Li could hardly feel any warmth from the other party, but it was extremely ambiguous.

Ai Jing Chu stood on the side, separated by a punch. His right hand held her left wrist, just to stop her from running a red light, but it was like lovers holding hands and mistakenly holding each other's wrist.

It wasn't the first time she had such physical contact with him.

However, for some reason, this time it was a little different.

T/N: We have wrist contact people!

Zeng Li turned to look at him.

The spring twilight came so early, the sky had no light, so she could only use the neon lights and car lights on the street to see Ai Jing Chu who was always looking ahead.

His facial features and lip line are so beautiful.

It's a pity that she is no longer the kind of little girl who is full of tenacity and does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Her hand twisted stiffly, and Ai Jing Chu's five fingers loosened, and she said to her with a normal expression: "I'll see you later."

At this moment, several children suddenly jumped out in front of Zeng Li, put a few wilted red roses under her nose and said, "Sister, buy a bunch of flowers."

Then, the leader among the children suddenly felt that he had found the wrong partner, so he turned around and handed the flowers to Ai Jing Chu, "Uncle, sister is so beautiful, why don't you buy her a bouquet of flowers?"

Zeng Li was amused by the child's over-the-top address, and while waving her hand to refuse for Ai Jing Chu, she couldn't help laughing.

And Ai Jing Chu neither refused nor smiled, but after seeing this group of children, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head to look elsewhere, after searching a few corners, he finally determined the target, and strode over.

Zeng Li followed wonderingly.

I saw a thin and small child squatting on the street corner playing with stones, but Ai Jing Chu went over and grabbed him.

The child screamed.

"Do you still know Uncle?" Ai Jing Chu asked him.

But the child only stopped for a second or two to look at him, and then began to twist again, but he had already been held tightly by Ai Jing Chu, and he couldn't escape.

Zeng Li didn't know what happened, so she could only stand aside.

Ai Jing Chu was afraid that the child would move around and be knocked or scratched on the ground, so he picked him up, hugged him in his arms and said, "Listen to your uncle, he will buy you food, candy, drinks, fried chicken, take you on a slide, and go to the zoo to see pandas..."

Zeng Li stood there, smiling slightly, she guessed that Ai Jing Chu had already used all the words in her mind to coax the children.

Hearing these words, the child's struggle gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.

Only now did Zeng Li see the face of the child clearly, she was stunned for a moment, feeling unspeakable emotions welling up in her heart.

This season, spring has come for a long time, everyone is wearing single clothes, but this child is still wrapped in a small padded jacket, ragged and dirty, his hair is not long, but it is cut unevenly, and that face—a similar face, she has seen on TV and pictures, but it is the first time in reality, it is precisely the cleft lip and palate that Ai Jing Chu had talked about with her before.

She took a few steps closer, and the child noticed her sizing up, and turned his head away hastily.

The struggle and resistance between Ai Jing Chu and the child had originally attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd, but the unusual appearance of the child made the passers-by stop.

At this moment, Zeng Li heard someone calling her: "Zeng Li!"

She looked up and saw that the person standing a few meters away from her was none other than Zeng Mama.

Mother Zeng walked in front, and Zeng Li followed slowly. Mother Zeng had the key to Zeng Li's house, she took out the key without saying a word, opened the door, and then changed her shoes without saying a word. Afterwards, Mother Zeng put the keys in the bag she was carrying, put the bag on the coffee table, sat down on the sofa, raised her head and asked coldly, "Who is that man?"

"My friend."

"What I'm asking is, who is he?"

Zeng Li knew what kind of temper she was about to lose, so she simply remained silent.

"Is it your doctor?" Zeng's mother sneered.

"I've heard Qin Lihua say it a long time ago. I didn't believe it when she told me. I said my daughter is not a person who flirts with people casually and hooks her shoulders. I have been in charge of her since I was a child. No male classmates have ever dared to call our house.

"In the end, what Qin Lihua said was that Xiao Gu accompanied you to the hospital and sat in the waiting room for more than an hour. He still asked for leave to accompany you. He was afraid that you would be bored. But you were fine. When you saw the male doctor, you forgot your last name and ran away with others.

"You say, when people talk about my daughter's uneducated appearance in front of so many people at dinner, where do I put my old face?

"I didn't believe it at the time. I just thought you were the same as before. You just couldn't forget Yu Yi and did it on purpose. That's why I didn't mention it to you. Today I said that we haven't seen each other for more than a month. I came here to see how close you are to that man.

"You have really changed your mind. If you want to look, you can find a good one. The little Gu that Qin Lihua introduced to you, his father is very successful in the municipal committee, and there are only six or seven houses within the third ring road at home. The wedding room for him has been prepared in the first two months. What are you dissatisfied with?

"Don't mention love to me in your heart. Pooh, do you treat it as food for the rest of your life? Live as a house?"

Mother Zeng spoke excitedly, she probably felt that Zeng Li was standing and she was sitting, and the distance was close, so she simply stood up too.

During the whole process, Zeng Li remained expressionless and said nothing.

"What is his name?"

Zeng Li didn't answer.

"What his the parents do?"

Zeng Li still didn't speak.

"Does he have a house?"

Zeng Li still stood where he was, looking away, motionless.

After a stalemate for a while, Zeng's mother seemed to calm down a little, walked up to Zeng Li, and pulled her to sit down.

Zeng's mother changed her tone, and said earnestly, "Mom is doing it for your own good, because she is afraid that you will suffer from hardships in the future. Mom also lived through the hard times, so she knows how uncomfortable it is. Besides, Gu Haidong's father and your father are working in the same building now, and they don't see each other when they look up. How bad is it for you to make their relationship stiff?"

Zeng Li turned his face, looked at Zeng's mother, and asked suddenly: "I have three fathers, which one are you referring to?"

This sentence was like a spell, which immediately angered Zeng Li's Mama. She got angry, raised her hand and slapped Zeng Li. Zeng Li didn't hide, and just accepted it.

T/N: I don't like Zeng Li's mother.

In the past, whenever Wu Ying was beaten by her father, she would flee to school or Ma Yi Yi's house, or even go to grandma's house to file a complaint. But Zeng Li was beaten, and never dared to slam the door and leave or stay out all night, because she couldn't and didn't dare.

Because she was a little excited, Zeng Mama's palm turned a little bit, and instead of falling on the side of her face, she hit her mouth and nose. Zeng Li only felt that it was hot and her skin was numb, but she didn't feel any pain. She was not afraid of being beaten since she was a child, not because she was not afraid of pain, but because she felt that if she made a mistake, it would be better to have a meal than to be scolded by her mother every day.

Mama Zeng stood up abruptly, pointed at her nose, raised her voice and cursed again: "Okay, you will talk back when your wings are hard! Who did you learn from, tell me!

"You hang out with that Wu Ying and Ma Yi Yi all day long, if you don't learn well, how can you fight against me!

"In the past ten years, I have never disliked you for being an oil bottle, but you have disliked my old lady instead?

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!

"You just dislike that Gu Haidong is not as good-looking as you like! I don't know you yet? Since I was a child, you have liked pretty faces. Yu Yi has one, and the other one on the street. What's the use of a good-looking man? Does Yu Yi want you?"

As soon as Yu Yi was mentioned, Zeng Li's tears couldn't hold back for an instant and fell down.

Yes, her mother knew her and what was her weakness.

Tears flowed down the cheeks, leaving wet tear stains, and then slowly evaporated, and the dried skin was tightly tightened, a little stinging.

"Don't talk about him, okay?" Zeng Li said.

"Why, you can't talk about it? Among relatives and friends, who doesn't know about you? Fortunately, I have nothing to do with the Zeng family, otherwise I would be ashamed to face people when I go back to my hometown! My niece fell in love with my cousin, and whoever said it would laugh out loud. Yu Yi's mother even came to the city to look for me, that arrogant one, you don't know—"

Zeng Li stood there, weeping silently.

It was a phone call that interrupted Zeng's mother. On the phone, Zeng Li's current stepfather told Zeng's mother to go home, so Zeng's mother said a few more words, and finally left.

But Zeng Li couldn't stop crying.

Yu Yi's mother is Zeng Li's fourth aunt, and Zeng Li still remembers the fact that she came to the provincial capital to look for Zeng's mother. At that time, Zeng's mother was completely unaware of their relationship. The fourth aunt, like countless mothers on TV, felt that they were close relatives and inferior in seniority, and she would make people laugh if she said it. In addition, like countless mothers on TV, she was afraid that Zeng Li, who was not motivated, would delay her son's future study abroad. What's more, Zeng Li and her mother were originally regarded as enemies of the entire Zeng family, and they didn't want to have anything to do with each other. But facing the aggressiveness of the other party, with Zeng's mother's temper, she still stiffened her neck and scolded back.

As in the past, not only Yu Yi was scolded, but also everyone in the Zeng family was scolded.

The result can be imagined, the fourth aunt, who was made useless by Zeng Mama, hated Zeng Li's mother and daughter to the bone. However, she is different from other mothers. Mother Zeng would be furious and tell Zeng Li to sever ties with Yu Yi, but Fourth Aunt did not, she didn't even mention it. She is like a breeze and a drizzle, with needles hidden in the cotton. In the end, even Zeng's mother turned a blind eye.

That summer vacation was Zeng Li's happiest summer vacation.

She and Yu Yi went to Dongshan, and he said on the mountain that he would be with her forever.

Forever?

When everyone no longer objected, when Zeng Li and Yu Yi were able to date in a fair manner, Zeng Li discovered that love was not what she wanted.

She met Yu Yi when she was young, and loved him so bitterly, but in the end she felt that they were not suitable.

As a result, what she knew was the Yu Yi in her fantasy when she was young, not the real him.

Yu Yi is the youngest son of the family. He is kind-hearted but also arrogant. He has countless friends of the same sex and the opposite sex. He can get acquainted with everyone within three sentences. He loves everyone's attention at parties.

These advantages that once attracted Zeng Li like sunshine, the moment they really came to her, made her at a loss.

Wu Ying said to Zeng Li: "You are not in love with Yu Yi, but the virtual love in your own mind."

Wu Ying secretly told Zeng Li the story of the little boyfriend who made her run away from home and finally broke up.

It turned out that when they really came together, they realised how inappropriate each other was. Those beautiful life that she dreamed of every day when she was in a different place were vulnerable to reality. They are all children who grew up under the pampering of their parents. They are very self-contained, and because they come from different places, their living habits are completely different. Whether it is eating, sleeping or daily life, there are too many things that cause differences. It seems that everything can become a reason for quarrelling.

So in such an endless quarrel, one day suddenly, Wu Ying felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

What is it that you are after? Isn't it freedom? Can I, who was kidnapped by blind love and boring life, really be free?

After listening to Zeng Li, she suddenly felt a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit. The lovers who could not be separated even in the face of adversity fell apart in smooth sailing.

She was hesitant and anxious, and she was unwilling to face Ye Gong's loving self. All the anxiety added up and made her a little nervous.

She was afraid of Yu Yi's friends and classmates, and at the same time afraid that he would not let her get in touch with those people.

She suspected all the time that he was dating other girls behind her back in the United States, and at the same time hoped that someone would take Yu Yi away from her.

Until one day, Yu Yi called from the other side of the ocean and said, "Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, we are not suitable, let's break up."

In the end, the fourth aunt won. She didn't do anything arrogant, and sneered and let her son be with the girl she despised.

During the summer vacation of that year, it was the anniversary of the death of the great director Antonioni. The students of the film club played his movies continuously in the school auditorium. A movie tells four stories about love. In the last story, the girl insisted on becoming a nun, but the boy kept her and said, "What will happen if I say I love you?"

The girl replied, "It's like lighting a candle in a bright room."

Love turned out to be so weak, so helpless, so insignificant.

At that time, Zeng Li, who was sitting under the big screen in the auditorium, burst into tears.
