Chapter 54: Wen Xiaonian wishes for flowers to bloom in all seasons, love...

Liwan City is a small, 18th-tier city in the north. Its economy is average, but its environment is very pleasant and it has an innate gentle style.

That is Wen Nian’s hometown.

But at that time, she was overwhelmed by mountains of books and test papers every day, and she only thought about how to escape from this depressing place. She never observed it carefully. Now, with a different mindset, she seems to see a different scenery.

Xu Zhijian attached great importance to this visit to Wen Nian's parents. He stayed up late for several days in advance to make plans and brought a lot of gifts to their door.

However, after a year of separation, Wen Hongyang and his wife missed their daughter more than anything else and could not care about him at all. As soon as they met, they pulled Wen Nian aside to express their feelings and reflected on their past mistakes with tears.

Listening in, Xu Zhijian also learned a lot about Wen Nian's past.

Only then did he realize that her childhood was even more miserable than his. She had no freedom and no room for choice. From beginning to end, she was bound by the shackles of "expectations" imposed by her parents and the people around her.

Even today, Wen Nian remained indifferent in front of them, her eyes dull and lifeless, revealing neither sadness nor joy. The girl simply listened quietly, seemingly unconcerned about whether they recognized their mistakes or not.

It was the first time Xu Zhijian saw her like this, and bitterness welled up in his heart.

Looking at the wall covered with red papers and the packed schedule from morning to night, he seemed to see the girl sitting at the desk, accompanied by textbooks day after day, powerless and lonely.

No wonder he developed such a temper.

He sighed and stood up silently.

He came to Wen Nian's side, held her hand, and interrupted their confession in a gentle voice: "Uncle and aunt, hello, I am Nian Nian's boyfriend. I came here this time to tell you that we are getting married."

A warm breath came from the back of the hand, dispelling the original coolness.

Wen Nian looked at him blankly.

Later, she finally understood why she loved Xu Zhijian so much.

He is the first and last person in the world whom she can rely on without reservation.

——

Wen Nian finally came back, and they didn't know when they would see each other again. Wen Hongyang and Chen Yin were eager to compensate her so that they could resolve their conflicts as soon as possible.

She was their only daughter and they didn't want to lose her.

But they were also very clear that they had no right to refuse Xu Zhijian as their son-in-law.

But he really didn't want to see his daughter marrying a man of unknown origin, so he conducted a series of inspections on him and only felt relieved after confirming that he passed all the tests.

Wen Nianben was not here to seek their consent. In the past, they had been involved too much in her life, and in the future, no one could make decisions except herself.

She will fulfill the responsibilities of a daughter, but will not let them affect her life.

It is best to agree, which can avoid unnecessary arguments.

After lunch, Wen Nian pulled Xu Zhijian aside and said, "Shall we go for a walk outside?"

——

The three years of high school were undoubtedly the most painful and confusing time in Wen Nian’s unbearable past.

This journey, which I walked alone for three years, often appears in various nightmares at midnight.

The autumn weather is clear and the yellow leaves are flying.

People come and go on the road, and nothing seems to have changed.

Looking at the long street, Wen Nian took Xu Zhijian's hand and exhaled: "Walk with me."

Since coming here, her mood seemed to have become much more depressed.

Xu Zhijian followed her: "Okay."

He chattered all the way, deliberately pestering her with conversation and laughter. He could even talk for more than ten words about an ordinary plant, as if his energy would never run out.

There is no time to feel sentimental anymore.

Wen Nian laughed.

At that time, her life was dark and her only hope for the future was freedom. She never thought that she would meet her beloved partner a few years later.

After today, she probably won't have this nightmare again.

Because he will show up.

The two walked side by side through the streets, the campus scenery, and the past that was too painful to look back on.

The yellow leaves made a squeaking sound when stepped on.

Later, Xu Zhijian patiently listened to her telling about her past. This time, she did not choose to endure it anymore and poured out all her grievances.

By the end of his speech, tears were streaming down his face.

On the playground, Xu Zhijian gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, his eyes filled with heartache. He whispered, "Does it feel better now that you've said it? From now on, tell me anything that makes you feel wronged or unhappy, okay?"

Wen Nian nodded.

He smiled and rubbed her head, exchanging his scarf with her tear-soaked scarf: "You are obviously a little bitter melon, how can you love others so well."

Wen Nian sniffed at this question, and suddenly said with relief: "Maybe it is because I have always subconsciously hoped that someone would love me like this."

Only those who have been caught in the rain know how to hold an umbrella for others.

Xu Zhijian said nothing and pulled her towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Wen Nian noticed the cake on the stone table at a glance and was wondering who put a cake there until he saw the name written on it.

It was Wen Nian and Xu Zhijian.

She was stunned, and let him pull her to the table. She looked at him and said, "Did you buy this?"

"Um."

"When? I don't even know." She muttered, then remembered that she went to the bathroom an hour ago. He should have bought it then. She asked again, "Why did you buy a cake?"

Xu Zhijian lit the candles and said, "Celebrate."

"Celebrating a reunion?" She smiled and lowered her head to admire the cake.

"No, it's to celebrate our love." He remained bent over and looked at her, his eyes sparkling: "From now on, our love anniversary is today."

"My previous self wasn't good enough, so just treat it as a new Xu Zhijian, okay?"

Wen Nian was stunned.

"I won't say those vows, but I want to tell you, Wen Nian, you are the person I love most in my life. Whatever you expect, I will achieve it for you even if it costs me everything."

He didn't ask her whether she believed it or not, nor did he need her to believe it.

These words were said to her, but Xu Zhijian also said them to himself.

He always believed that promises are never meant to be believed, but to be fulfilled.

Wen Nian looked at his resolute eyes, smiled, and said, "I believe you."

Xu Zhijian has always been a frivolous person, but what he says is never false, and she has never doubted this.

——

On the way back, Wen Nian suddenly asked Xu Zhijian when he fell in love with her.

In fact, she has always had an idea that she is unwilling to admit. It was because she was too clingy at the beginning that he agreed to her confession in a fit of anger. He probably fell in love with her after a long time.

Therefore, she never had the courage to ask him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhijian asked, "Do you remember when you were in college, you attended a concert?"

Wen Nian was surprised: "You know?"

"Yeah." He nodded: "Not only did I see it at the time, but I also happened to find you practicing singing in the playground a few days ago."

Youyou said, "At that time, I thought this girl was so small. Hiding in the bushes, drawing something on the ground and chirping, she looked like... a little mouse."

"You are the rat!" Wen Nian exploded and slapped his shoulder fiercely.

Xu Zhijian smiled, quickly hugged her tightly, and stroked her fur: "Little mouse is so cute. If you don't like it, then I'll just call you little elf."

Wen Nian snorted and ignored him.

Suddenly she remembered that he had called her Wen Xiaonian before because he felt that she was small in every way.

However, upon hearing this news, Wen Nian's heart couldn't help but palpitate, which just made up for what was missing from that grand night a few years ago.

It turns out that he saw it.

She secretly rejoiced.

Coming back to her senses, Wen Nian's smile faded and she pushed him away: "No, you obviously liked me back then, why did you let me chase you ten times!"

Xu Zhijian looked away guiltily at her late realization and changed the subject: "The weather is nice today."

"Xu! Zhi! Jian!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, isn't that enough? Stop hitting me, it hurts!"

Wen Nian withdrew his hand, raised his chin and said, "Then you can't use the fact that I pursued you first to pressure me in the future."

Xu Zhijian immediately came forward and said, "Yes, I'm pursuing you."

The two continued to move forward.

He thought back, "But, haven't you realized that even though you failed in your pursuit of me the last few times, I actually left you a little hope every time, letting you continue to pursue me."

Wen Nian chuckled, "Why didn't I realize before that you're so scheming, Xu Zhijian."

"It was my first time liking a girl, and at that time, I really didn't know what to do except reject her. Could you please be so magnanimous and forgive me this time?"

"Okay, don't do this again in the future." She said proudly.

"I promise I won't. By the way, tell me how you could like me. And what on earth were you drawing on the ground?"

The setting sun is like fire, spreading across the sky and earth, and the cool breeze blows the yellow leaves.

As their figures stretched out, their voices gradually faded away.

Love at first sight, love at second sight.

This was her answer to him.

Before meeting Xu Zhijian, Wen Nian always thought that this was a scene that only appeared in movies, until it happened to her.

As for what she drew on the ground that day?

Thinking back on it later, Wen Nian felt that everything seemed to be destined by God.

While he was falling for her, she was writing his name.

——

Wen Nian originally thought that Xu Zhijian was too exaggerated before meeting her parents, until it was her turn. Not only did she make a lot of strategies and carefully selected many gifts, she was also so nervous that she couldn't sleep well for several days.

The night before, she got up in the middle of the night and slapped Xu Zhijian awake: "What should I do? What should I do? I'm so nervous."

In a daze, Xu Zhijian hummed twice, held her in his arms, and comforted her with a yawn: "Don't be nervous, my mother has a good temper, my father listens to her, and my sister has long vowed to follow you to the death, go to sleep quickly, baby."

"No, I'm still too nervous." Turning around and finding him asleep again, she angrily bit his face, "You dead pig!"

Adhering to the belief that if she couldn't sleep, he couldn't sleep either, Wen Nian finally woke him up and forced him to tell her stories for half the night.

Facts have proved that what Xu Zhijian said is true.

The moment he saw Qing Shuyi, Wen Nian's nervousness mostly dissipated.

This is a woman who exudes a gentle temperament from the inside out. She does not have the arrogance of an ordinary lady. She has another kind of indescribable nobility. Standing next to her, I feel inexplicably at ease, just like a gentle breeze in autumn.

There is also tenderness in his conversation.

It was completely different from the voice that impersonated her in my memory.

Wen Nian quickly started chatting with Qing Shuyi.

living room.

Xu Quan looked at Xu Zhijian and teased leisurely, "Alright, I actually got her back for you. Don't look at her anymore, your mother won't eat her."

Xu Zhijian retracted his gaze from Wen Nian, "I only have this one girlfriend, so of course I have to do everything in my power to win her back."

"I didn't expect you to be so loyal." Before coming, Xu Zhijian had expressed his determination to marry Wen Nian. Xu Quan asked, "Have you met her parents?"

"Yes, her parents have no objections. She is their only daughter. They will probably move to Beijing and settle down soon. I will arrange for you to meet then."

It was the first time that the father and son sat down to chat calmly. Xu Quan was still a little uncomfortable, but nodded: "I don't have any objection. You can marry whoever you want, as long as you don't cause trouble for me again. The rest is up to your mother."

Xu Zhijian said lazily, "As long as you don't trip me."

Xu Quan chuckled twice.

Xu Zhijian and Wen Nian had just bought a new house not long ago and were used to living there, so they didn't stay long after dinner.

This time I came back and took away some of Zhijian's miscellaneous items.

Before leaving, Qing Shuyi gave Wen Nian a lot of gifts. She was so happy that she was still in high spirits until she got in the car.

Excitedly, she asked Xu Zhijian, "How did I perform today? Would your parents approve?"

Seeing her joyful face, Xu Zhijian curled his lips and said, "Don't worry, my parents have always liked you and will definitely agree. They will have to agree even if they don't agree. My marriage is not theirs."

"That's different. I still hope to gain their approval." She carefully put the gift away.

"Of course. My girlfriend is so outstanding, there's no other like her in the whole of Beijing. I got her so cheap, they couldn't be happier. I guarantee they'll approve."

Wen Nian was amused by his exaggerated tone, and took advantage of her happiness to flip through the cardboard box he brought from home.

Among a pile of photos, I saw the only photo of him as a child.

She took it out and looked at it curiously.

As expected, he has been handsome since he was a child, but he looks a little disheveled. The boy doesn't seem happy, with tears in the corners of his eyes and several slap marks on his fair little face.

"This is……"

Xu Zhijian glanced at him and said calmly, "Oh, when I was little, I was ignorant and no one wanted to play with me in the countryside. But you know my personality, the more they don't want to play with me, the more I'll cling to them. Later, they said they would play with me if they slapped me."

"So... well... I was just too stupid back then."

"My grandfather took this photo for me. It reminded me of the lesson and taught me to be strong in the future. We had a pretty good relationship at the time, and this is one of the few memories he left me with."

He spoke lightly, always with a smile, but Wen Nian felt sad listening to it.

She was silent for a moment and carefully put the photo away.

"I'll play with you from now on."

Xu Zhijian looked at her deeply, a smile spreading across his eyes. After a while, he replied, "Okay, it would be much more interesting if you play with me. Not only can you play with me, but you can also let me play."

Facing his ruffian smile, Wen Nian blushed immediately and annoyed him: "What are you talking about!"

"What's wrong? You're not allowed to talk about it in the car?"

"No, drive your car carefully!" She turned her head away and stopped talking to him.

Ever since he started having sex, Xu Zhijian had become more and more self-indulgent, pestering her to come a few times every night. Wen Nian had now reached the point where she would get stressed out whenever she heard this kind of topic.

I was afraid that he would get impulsive and do something unthinkable.

However, he still couldn't escape that night.

The story begins during the day.

On the way back, the two of them entered a snack street, and Xu Zhijian bought a few grilled sausages.

At that time, Wen Nian was wondering why he didn't let her eat in advance.

When I got back, I found out that everything was this man’s plan!

Before going to bed that night, when Wen Nian was about to forget about the existence of such a thing as sausage, Xu Zhijian took it out and deliberately asked her: "Do you want to eat it?"

As soon as Wen Nian said she wanted to, he came over and asked with a triumphant smile, "Which one do you want to eat?"

After realizing it, Wen Nian wanted to run away immediately.

The next second, he grabbed her waist and picked her up from behind, "Why are you running?"

"Xu Zhijian, you are shameless!"

He had no shame at all: "Well, what use is a face other than seducing you? If you can't choose, then just try them all." After saying that, he held her in one hand and carried a sausage in the other and walked into the bedroom.

Wen Nian tried to resist: "I want the one on your hand!"

Was ruthlessly rejected: "It's too late."

——

Their lives gradually got back on track.

Wen Nian's career is stable and his relationship with his parents is gradually easing. He is usually accompanied by Xu Zhijian. In his spare time, he gets together with a few friends and travels around. His life is stable and fulfilling.

She finally got the freedom she longed for.

The game created by Xu Zhijian was officially launched. He opened a branch of his own near the Shanhai headquarters. He worked hard with his former friends and his career flourished.

He finally became that carefree and bright young man.

Xu Zhijian's proposal to Wen Nian took place in the spring of the following year.

That day, Xu Zhijian was on a business trip.

When Shen Wan came back from abroad, Wen Nian rushed to the airport to pick her up. Unexpectedly, not long after she got home, Shen Wan suddenly wanted to take her to try out a private jet.

The flight lasted nearly an hour, and Wen Nian was still confused until he got off the plane.

"Where are we?" She was about to look outside when Shen Wan came out from the cabin holding a bouquet of flowers. "You'll know soon. Here, this is for you."

Wen Nian took it, and before she could ask why she was given flowers, she was pushed to the cabin door by Shen Wan.

She said mysteriously, "Be prepared and keep your eyes open."

The sound of the hatch opening was heard.

Wen Nian was bewildered: "Okay."

The moment the skylight came into view, her heart stopped suddenly.

What comes before the colorful flowers is the strong fragrance of flowers.

Music, seagulls, and the sounds of cruise ships in the distance all blew into my ears along with the sea breeze.

Wen Nian's pupils dilated.

On the beach, what stretches as far as the eye can see is not sand, but all kinds of flowers, ribbons, and balloons.

The red glow reflected the sea shining with purple stars, and the white waves beat against one flower boat after another.

In the distance, the only small house on the island was also wrapped in colorful lights.

The red carpet extended from under the plane all the way to a small pavilion in the distance, where a man in a white suit was standing.

That was her boy.

Shen Wan put the veil on her from behind, patted her shoulder to bring her back to her senses, and said, "Go."

The sea breeze blew the ends of her hair, and Wen Nian regained her heartbeat.

Then, she resolutely embarked on this flowery road that belonged only to her.

Each bouquet of flowers is like a little elf, dancing and swaying to the melody of the music, welcoming the boy's most beloved bride.

She came up to him step by step.

She looked up at him, her voice choked: "How did you know this place?"

This was the island where she lived a year ago, the place where she used to hide and carried her endless pain.

Xu Zhijian's expression was gentle as he smoothed her hair. "I asked Chen Wan, Duan Shuangyue, and everyone related to you. I not only know about this place, but also know a lot more."

"Nian Nian, I will personally erase all your scars for you."

"I don't want you to be covered in bruises. I want your life to be bright and full of love."

"Why are you crying again?" He wiped her tears and said, "Did I become more careful this time?"

Wen Nian hugged him tightly and couldn't help sobbing in his arms: "Xu Zhijian, I don't like to pretend to be strong at all. I am just a petty person... Thank you for being willing to tolerate me."

He patted her back gently: "Yeah, I know."

"In front of me, you can always be that porcelain doll, and I will be the glass cover that protects you from the wind and rain. You don't need to change anything, I just need to become more pleasing to you."

"In this way, Wen Xiaonian will be my little sun. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

"Thank you for tolerating me."

Sensitive girls need firm love, and boys who lack love need to be moved by passionate love.

Wen Nian once thought that they were probably the most incompatible couple in the world, but now she feels that everything is God's best arrangement.

Those three years were filled with both bitterness and sweetness. In the first year, she was indulging him, looking for sugar in the broken glass, while he was still being that willful teenager. In the second year, she was trying to express herself, while he was slowly learning to love. In the third year, he finally learned how to love, and she finally felt the happiness she longed for, but could not forget the scars of the past.

Maybe people are always greedy. Once they get a little, they want to get a little more, until it is perfect.

And now, they have finally learned to be tolerant, to get closer to each other, and to understand each other.

This love finally became pure.

And this grand proposal will be the beginning of their happiness.

The cheers of friends drowned out the sea breeze, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the two hugged each other tightly in their arms.

Love begins with understanding and tolerance.

Wen Nian likes flowers. She was so moved that she cried when she received flowers from him for the first time. Later, he sent all the beautiful flowers in the world to her.

But her favorite was the pink Diana bouquet in the sea breeze.

——Falling in love with you is the greatest happiness in my life.

It is the language of its flowers, symbolizing happiness, elegance and gentle love. It also represents a girl's first love and a boy's first heartbeat.

At night, Wen Nian woke up from her dream and took out the love notebook again.

Xu Zhijian later wrote a reply below each of those contents, letting her know what he was thinking at the time.

She lay on the balcony, opened the latest page, and wrote the signature stroke by stroke -

Getting what I want has always been something that is out of my reach. In this journey of life, Xu Zhijian is the only exception.

May the flowers bloom all year round and love last forever.

——Wen Xiaonian. ＞﹀＜

Closing the notebook, she lifted her hair that was blown by the wind, and looked at the sleeping face of the person in the bedroom from the balcony in the moonlight outside the window, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

She quickly came to the bed and snuggled into his arms.

Placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"Xu Zhijian, I only love you."

She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep with a sweet heart when the person beside her suddenly responded:

"I know that in this world, there will never be anyone who loves me more than Wen Xiaonian."
