Chapter 105 Lovers
"So, Auntie agrees?" Cheng Tianlan asked hurriedly after hearing Xin Tianyi's narration.
"My mother should have known it a long time ago." Xin Tianyi thought back to the past. "Zhang Yang came to visit her at home during the Chinese New Year and sent her off again in the morning. She should have figured it out."
"Of course." Cheng Tianlan said, "Auntie is so smart, how could she not see it?"
"She never mentioned it to my face, and she never asked about it, but my grandpa said she would ask me about Zhang Yang from time to time. So she should have seen through it a long time ago, but she just pretended not to know."
"Then Zhang Yang will go there..."
"Zhang Yang didn't directly state our relationship. He just wanted to see if his probing could get my mother to relent."
"Thank God." Cheng Tianlan sighed, "As expected, Auntie relented. This trip was not in vain."
"Yes, my mom asked us to go back together to see her. It's obvious that she's relented. Zhang Yang just called and told me that after I'm done with school, I can go with him to see my mom."
"Congratulations!" Cheng Tianlan smiled. "That's great."
"I thought we'd have to fight a lot more, but it happened so quickly." Xin Tianyi was still in shock. "Zhang Yang moved too fast."
The two clinked glasses again. At this time, Wang Yuxiu came back after playing chess. He was in high spirits and it was obvious that he had won the game. He said that he would treat his chess friends tomorrow, and they were going to eat beef noodles and have a few more drinks.
After saying that, he went to the bedroom to rest and turned on the TV with the volume very loud.
Without interrupting their conversation, Cheng Tianlan said with envy, "That's great."
Xin Tianyi understood what she meant. Cheng Tianlan had lived with her grandfather for a period of time. She would occasionally tell Xin Tianyi how relieved her grandfather would be if he were still alive and saw the current situation of the three siblings.
But all the elderly people in the family are gone.
Xin Tianyi poured another cup for Cheng Tianlan. Cheng Tianlan pointed at the cup and said, "This is the last one. I can't drink any more."
"Okay, I won't drink anymore. I have a headache." Xin Tianyi said.
After they finished their drinks, they supported each other and went upstairs.
After turning off the lights, the two of them lay side by side in bed, feeling even more awake.
"Do you regret it?" Cheng Tianlan asked, "Or rather, will you regret it?"
"What are you regretting?"
"Zhang Yang," Cheng Tianlan said, "You've known each other since junior high school. Now I've tacitly accepted that you're together. But will you regret it? With so many men in this world, are you determined to be with him for life?"
"Uh." Xin Tianyi paused and smiled. "Although we met in junior high school, the door to this world was never closed to me. Later, I went to high school, college, and now I'm working. During this time, I've experienced a lot and met many, many people. But no matter how many people I meet, I only think about her. So, I don't have any regrets. On the contrary, I'm very lucky to have met him in junior high school."
"That's right." Cheng Tianlan sighed.
"What about you? Tell me about your troubles." Xin Tianyi said, "You came to me for a drink, but it's definitely not because you want to drink. Anyone can see that you are in a bad mood today. Even though you are holding a bunch of roses."
"You're right. I'm in a bad mood." Cheng Tianlan murmured, "Wei Ran came today."
"Wei Ran?"
"Well, I only noticed him later. He had been waiting for me in the waiting room."
"But you didn't speak?"
"No. We didn't even look at each other face to face." Cheng Tianlan said, "You don't know how I felt at the time. I was holding the flowers and when I looked up, I accidentally saw him. He was still sitting in the waiting room, but I could feel that he was looking at me."
"You didn't call him? He didn't call you either?" Xin Tianyi found it unbelievable. They were obviously two people in love.
"No. That's why I'm in pain, and I also feel weird." Cheng Tianlan said, "I could have called him. If I had called him at that time, we should be cuddling together now. But I didn't. Of course, he didn't either."
Cheng Tianlan paused for a moment, then continued, "How should I put it? When I saw him and continued walking forward, I suddenly felt very relieved. It was the kind of relief that comes from giving up."
Under the moonlight, Xin Tianyi looked at Cheng Tianlan's profile.
Cheng Tianlan said it easily.
It was as easy as if she hadn't called Wei Ran's name and continued walking forward.
But Xin Tianyi saw her crying.
She cried silently, without even noticing it herself.
It's not easy to say goodbye, and it's not easy to move on either.
That's why she asked herself if she would regret it.
Isn't this kind of question just asking herself?
"What do you think?" Xin Tianyi asked.
"I didn't know at first," Cheng Tianlan said, "but after I felt a sense of relief I had never felt before, I realized that I was right. Wei Ran and I are impossible. Even if his mother finally agrees, his family's prejudice against my eldest brother and me will still exist. That prejudice will become the fuse of all the conflicts in our marriage. And you know Wei Ran's personality. He won't conflict with anyone, let alone his family. If I do this, I will live in extreme insecurity. I don't want that. I can't stand other people's accusations against my eldest brother. To me, he is my parent."
"I understand." Xin Tianyi said.
"So, I'm going to give up completely," Cheng Tianlan said. "This is good for both Wei Ran and me."
Cheng Tianlan finished speaking, turned over, and faced Xin Tianyi. "Wei Ran should have thought the same. Because at that moment, I knew he saw me, but we both chose to remain silent. Tianyi, do you have a feeling that people who love each other will make the same decisions?"
