Chapter 7

Don't fight

Liang Beihai was awakened by a knock on the door. He had no idea who would knock on his door so early in the morning. The scene of last night slowly emerged in his mind, and he wondered if it was Luo.

Not wanting to be discovered by his aunt, Liang Beihai reacted quickly and ran to open the door.

When I opened the door, I found it was A Yu who was looking at me with a curious look on his face and peeking into the room seriously.

"Why don't you just use the key to open the door? You woke me up." Liang Beihai kicked A Yu lightly and made way for A Yu to come in.

"Can you come in? I'm afraid I'll see something I shouldn't see when I open the door with the key, and I'm also afraid my mom will come over, so I'm going to warn you first."

A Yu swaggered in and started to tease Liang Beihai. Liang Beihai went to the room to change clothes and asked A Yu through the door.

"Did you see it? Did your aunt see it?"

Liang Beihai completely forgot about this yesterday. Not wanting to think too much about it, he quickly took a shower and fell asleep.

"Luckily I knew you were going to the interview, so I didn't open the door directly, otherwise I would have caught you hugging each other." A Yu took a large bottle of coffee from the refrigerator and poured two cups, then took his own cup and sat down on the sofa.

After Liang Beihai changed his clothes and went out to wash, he said seriously, "If my mother saw it, it would be my aunt who just knocked on the door."

"Then you have to change your peeping habit. Have you had breakfast?" Liang Beihai washed up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Because the schedules didn't match, Liang Beihai would basically only eat dinner at his aunt's house. Recently, during the summer vacation, Ayu was the one who cooked, so Liang Beihai would occasionally ask Ayu when he made breakfast.

"I want fried udon noodles, and I want two fried eggs."

After dinner, Liang Beihai sent A Yu to clean the kitchen, and he turned on the computer to check the email sent by Zhang Xin.

Perhaps the financial hardship made her grow. Even though the two of them had exposed their relationship, Liang Beihai had no intention of giving up this job.

Why bother with money?

But the matter was already in front of her, and Liang Beihai had to consider Luo's. She didn't expect Luo's to directly break the window paper that the two of them were maintaining. They had no past to recall, and they could completely pretend that they had never met before.

Liang Beihai didn't know how the two of them would get along next, because she didn't know Luo's attitude either.

Does he like him now or not? Liang Beihai doesn't have the energy to think about it. If he didn't like him, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to travel to N countries. If he liked him, he wouldn't have stopped contacting him and stopped thinking about him for so long.

Liang Beihai was also afraid. She used to imagine that the relationship could only begin officially if the two of them met formally, but in their later interactions, she could not feel any sincerity from Luo Di, so even when she was walking towards Luo Di, she kept telling herself to let go, let go, forget it.

What about now? Have you really let it go?

"When are you going to work there?" Ayu came over to look at the work schedule in the email. "It's quite free, and the salary is not bad."

Seeing that Liang Beihai didn't answer, A Yu added: "You won't be so depressed that you won't go, will you?"

"Don't provoke me. You know I'm going. Just think of it as rehabilitation. It's better than working at a convenience store. Our store manager always dislikes me because I don't lift heavy objects."

Liang Beihai closed the computer, curled up on the sofa, and raised his hand to look at his wrist.

"Ayu, it's really him. How can it be such a coincidence?"

"I don't want to care. Don't wait for me to tell you that you two are a match made in heaven. I don't intend to keep it a secret for you. If the adults ask, I will tell them directly. You'd better confess as soon as possible."

"I know." Liang Beihai buried his face in the pillow and said sullenly.

A Yu went to the balcony to check if the garbage truck had come and see if he could catch up to take out the trash.

He saw Luo standing downstairs with Liang Beihai's bicycle. Seeing that it was A Yu on the balcony, Luo was stunned for a moment, but still waved to him. A Yu rolled his eyes when he saw his attitude change.

"Your fate has sent you a car. I'm going home to get the garbage. You can take the garbage with you when you go downstairs." A Yu went to the kitchen to bring the garbage to the door. While changing shoes at the entrance, he said something sarcastic to Liang Beihai.

Before Liang Beihai could throw the pillow at him, A Yu had already closed the door quickly.

Liang Beihai heard A Yu close the door and opened his own door. He then went out and put the garbage at the door. He knocked on the door and asked Liang Beihai to hurry up. He left without taking care of the garbage.

After a moment of daze, she went to the bedroom to get her phone and saw the message Luo had sent her ten minutes ago, asking her if she was up and that he had ridden his bicycle back to her.

【Just put it in the bicycle shed downstairs. 】

Liang Beihai had just finished replying to the message when he unexpectedly received a call from Luo. "Ayu said you'd be coming down soon, and asked me to remind you not to forget to take out the trash."

"What does that have to do with your carport? You can just put the car down and walk away."

"Get down first, the garbage truck is coming soon."

Liang Beihai went to the bedroom to get a thin hooded jacket to protect himself from the sun, and then slowly went downstairs with the garbage.

When she got downstairs, Luo had already parked her car and was standing at the garbage disposal waiting for Liang Beihai. Liang Beihai came over but didn't say anything, so Luo just stood there waiting for her to speak.

Both of them were tall and thin, and Liang Beihai, who was slightly shorter, looked a little tense. An old lady passing by suddenly spoke.

"Hey guys, don't make trouble. If you have anything to say, you can talk it over."

After hearing this, Luo looked at Liang Beihai, who looked like a cockfighting madman, and couldn't help laughing. Liang Beihai glared at him again.

"We didn't have a fight, mother-in-law. She dumped me and I came to see her."

The old lady looked at Liang Beihai's face in surprise, only to find that this "young man" wearing a hood and casually kicking his slippers was actually a girl.

He said "eh" and left in small steps.

"Look at you, you scared everyone away with your stinky face."

"You" Liang Beihai was furious, but he didn't know what to say, so he swallowed his words.

"No wonder I called you little brother. From behind, you really do look like a teenager."

Liang Beihai glared at him again, curled his lips and was about to turn around and leave.

Luo stepped forward and grabbed her wrist to prevent her from leaving: "Don't say a word to me, Beibei."

Liang Beihai looked at him, his eyes red. Luo panicked and let go of her hand to let her go.

Liang Beihai took a few steps forward, stopped, and said in a very soft voice: "I don't know what to say, let's do this for now."

He couldn't tell the tone of her voice, but that was okay, Luo De thought. She wasn't rejecting him, she was just avoiding him, and Luo De thought that this way he still had a chance.

Liang Beihai returned to the apartment and wiped the tears from her face. She didn't know why she was crying, but she was prone to tear incontinence and cried easily.

After the two people's identities were exposed, the emotions that had been hidden for the past few years began to flow out, and tears could not be stopped.

What was she crying about? She had already seen that person, and that person seemed to want to make amends. What about the past? Who would give her an answer? She didn't dare to think or ask.

Her love for him had been drained away bit by bit by Luo. She wanted to give up at that time and tried to understand Luo, but she eventually came to the conclusion that "if two people fell in love in Country N, it would be unfair to herself who was suffering from unrequited love and crying at that time."

Luo looked down at his hand, as if there was still the warmth of Liang Beihai's wrist.

In fact, he was a little nervous, afraid that Liang Beihai would reject him directly and cut off contact. But when he saw A Yu's attitude in the morning, he felt a little relieved. Liang Beihai's attitude must not be decisive.

Then let's take it slow and let their long-lasting love-break slowly come to an end.

[Like you said, let’s just pretend we don’t know each other at the company.]

Looking at the text message from Liang Beihai, Luo secretly cursed Liang Beihai for being an idiot. He was always stubborn and couldn't tell the difference between truth and lies. She took a random sentence she'd made up as the truth and then exaggerated it, overthinking it.

It reminded him of the game he played when he was a child. There was a level that he couldn't get through. The pixel man was blocked by a big tree. Before he found a way out, he could only control the pixel man to hit the tree.

Liang Beihai is like the stubborn little man on the screen. He sticks to his guns and keeps bumping into the big tree blocking his way.

Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.
