"Because I love you, that’s why I’m afraid of losing you. I’m very afraid that one day you won’t love anymore. Then, you’ll treat like Chu Qing, very heartless, very heartless."
"How could that happen?"
"Why couldn’t it happen? Many things in this world are hard to predict. We’ve only been together for more than two months, and there are countless more months to co. What will happen, what we’ll encounter, no one can say for sure. Falling in love, getting married, having children—it feels like a process, but we seem to have completed it all in one step, and this pace makes uneasy..."
Yang Su’s eyes glimred as she continued, "But now I’ve thought it over carefully. Our relationship is sowhat different from others’. I think maybe you also wanted to give a love affair, but you’re thirty-three, you don’t have much ti left. I shouldn’t apply the normal standard of young people’s love to you. You’re special, and I’ve neglected that specialness..."
Yang Su’s small face erged from his embrace, her cheeks red, even her eyes were red.
She said, "Chang Linsheng, if I say I’ll love you for a lifeti, will you definitely love for a lifeti too!"
Chang Linsheng rested his forehead against hers, bowed his head, and kissed her cheek. He sighed deeply, reached out to hold her body tightly, and said, "Definitely will."
But actually, even if Yang Su can’t love him for a lifeti, he would still love her for a lifeti.
In thirty-three years, the only person he fell in love with and loved was Yang Su alone. How could he give up this feeling of love?
He couldn’t.
...
That night, they fell asleep in each other’s arms, as if everything had returned to the beginning, as if everything was developing in a good direction.
The next day was Chang Linsheng’s last day of work. The two would return to K City the next day to spend the New Year in K City.
Yang Su knew that Chang Linsheng would surely be very busy today, and she didn’t want to disturb her in the office, so she wanted to find Li Weihuan, Yan Chenqing, and a few others to gather.
Yang Su called Li Weihuan, and he had no issues, saying he would contact Yan Chenqing. Yang Su, being talkative, asked how Yan Chenqing was doing now.
Li Weihuan paused and said, "That little girlfriend is quite persistent, saying she wants to wait for Yan Chenqing, but it’s probably not going to happen. As for Ding Ziyu, this matter is a bit complicated and can’t be explained in a few words..."
Li Weihuan was about to hang up, but Yang Su stopped him, "Hey, hold on! Li Weihuan, rember to bring your wife too; the wedding is next month. You can’t keep ignoring her!"
Li Weihuan seed to hesitate for a mont and then directly hung up without saying anything.
Damn!
Holding the phone, Yang Su felt that this man was really... so dull!
...
The gathering place was Bai Yuchuan’s apartnt.
Bai Yuchuan was still in K City, but Li Weihuan and Yan Chenqing had keys; the place was spacious, making it suitable for the gathering.
Chang Linsheng personally dropped off Yang Su, worried about her and reminding her not to drink, and also warned her to tell those troublemakers not to smoke!
Yang Su said, "Don’t worry, I wouldn’t dare smoke in front of them, definitely won’t."
Chang Linsheng laughed, seeing Yang Su’s innocent and charming personality was very popular among friends; he could tell.
After a round of advice, Chang Linsheng finally drove away, with Yang Su waving to him.
What she didn’t know was that on the way, Chang Linsheng still wasn’t at ease and made a phone call to Li Weihuan, asking him to keep an eye on Yang Su.
Li Weihuan felt innocent, especially hearing Chang Linsheng say "Aunt..."
Li Weihuan felt that Nanxi and Yang Su were both younger than him, but they ended up marrying people of a higher generation. Yet, despite that, he couldn’t bring himself to say "Aunt" to either of them.
Li Weihuan said, "Uncle Chang, I’ve brought my wife myself; I can only take care of her!"
Chang Linsheng was silent for a few seconds and said, "So, your wife is pregnant too? Does your second uncle know? Shall I make a call to congratulate?"
Li Weihuan: "...Uncle, please don’t! I understand, I’ll take care of Susu!"
...
When Yang Su went upstairs, Yan Chenqing, Li Weihuan, and Yi Mu were already there, just waiting for her.
For so reason, Yang Su suddenly felt a bit sad. In previous gatherings, Bai Yuchuan, Nanxi, Lan Qiqi, Zhang Mu, everyone would co together.
But now, one by one, they’ve left, started families, and found their own paths and happiness.
That feeling was quite uncomfortable.
People she thought would be together forever, in the end, separated, and that feeling was very unpleasant.
Yang Su tried to maintain a smile and greeted them.
Yan Chenqing was still in his cool manner, Yi Mu still seed reliant on Li Weihuan, with a naive and cute deanor.
And Li Weihuan, although sitting there with his legs crossed and still having the deanor of a young master.
You could tell that since working at the Land Bureau, he had beco much steadier.
Because Yang Su was pregnant and due to the previous call from Chang Linsheng with its implicit threats, Li Weihuan was on his best behavior this ti. He invited Yang Su to sit down and rest while personally going to the kitchen to pour water for her.
Yang Su hadn’t even taken a sip of water before heading to the restroom.
In the restroom, Yang Su shed tears, sotis mories overflow, and at certain monts, they unexpectedly spill over.
A few months ago, near graduation, when everyone gathered together for conversation, they all thought that separation was temporary, that they would often get together in the future.
But in just a blink: ti has beco sorrow, and flowers cooled at the fingertips.
