Not long after, Su Muchuan explained: "I know you have been accepting your grandmother's help, so I went to visit your grandmother with a try-it attitude. I know you don't like this, I'm sorry. Since we broke up, I haven't been able to contact you, and I can't see you when I go to your house. I'm very worried."
Cui Zhiruo's eyes narrowed and she asked, "Are you investigating me behind my back?"
"sorry."
"You're still the same as before."
Just like before, he was stopping his mother from helping him from behind.
"I'm sorry, do you still hate me?"
As he spoke, Su Muchuan lowered his head.
"Why bother explaining to me? Even if you say you know nothing, I won't investigate."
"Because I'm afraid, just like back then, you'll find out sooner or later. Even the truth can't be hidden." Su Muchuan raised his eyes, staring at Cui Zhiruo, and asked, "If I say I want to reconcile with you, even just be friends, am I being too greedy?"
friend?
Can the two of them still be friends now?
"I don't have the confidence to continue being friends with you."
"What about our memories? We've been friends for over ten years. Are you really so cruel as to give up on them? Can you do it? I can't."
“…”
Cui Zhiruo didn't reply.
She really didn't have the confidence that they could continue to be friends, nor did she have the confidence that she could let go of those previous memories.
So, I just didn’t answer.
Just like that time when she wanted an explanation and Su Muchuan remained silent.
The moment she opened the door, Cui Zhiruo was talking on the phone with her classmate and didn't notice that Sheng Liuming was pouring water in the kitchen.
She called and said, "Who would have thought that Su Muchuan would be there?"
"What happened next? What happened?"
"We were just chatting, and he said he wanted to have dinner with me, but I declined because I felt it was not a good idea."
"Oh my god, where are you now? Let's talk about it when we meet."
"I'll come back and change my clothes first, rest for a while, and then come find you."
"Where shall we meet?"
"How about I come to your house tonight?"
"OK."
"See you later then."
Cui Zhiruo hung up the phone and felt very tired. She threw all the restraints on her body on the sofa, fell on the sofa and closed her eyes.
It feels like home, a very casual posture.
My mind is a little confused right now. I just came back and everything that happened was unexpected.
Now, I need to have a good rest and then review it.
“Ahem…”
Suddenly, a light coughing sound was heard. Cui Zhiruo suddenly opened her eyes and saw Sheng Liuming holding a glass of water in front of her.
Cui Zhiruo stood up in surprise and asked in panic, "Are you home?"
She didn't know why she was panicking.
"Yes, take a rest today."
Answer calmly.
"Have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together. Sister will make you something delicious, your favorite one."
"I have to go out for something."
"It's okay, I'll make it for you and you can eat it when you come back."
"No."
As he said this, Sheng Liuming bent down and placed the water glass on the table.
“…”
The moment she bent down, Cui Zhiruo saw the figure under the shirt.
At the age of twenty, he has really grown up.
"You don't have to cook for me."
After saying that, Sheng Liuming went upstairs with an expressionless face.
Despite hearing such an answer, Cui Zhiruo still went into the kitchen, prepared the meal and put it on the dining table.
Just then, Sheng Liuming came down from upstairs.
Cui Zhiruo hurried to his side.
"Are you going out now?"
"Yeah." Sheng Liuming responded and walked to the entrance to put on his shoes. Cui Zhiruo followed behind him, not far away, with her hands behind her back, looking at him. "What's wrong?"
Sheng Liuming put on his shoes and couldn't help asking when he saw her gaze.
"I just wanted to see you off..."
"That's not necessary."
"I know, I just wanted to do it." Cui Zhiruo watched Sheng Liuming open the door and walk out. "Have fun, be careful on the road."
Hearing this, Sheng Liuming suddenly stopped, turned his back to Cui Zhiruo, and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, I won't come back often in the future."
"I don't……"
"I'm leaving."
Without waiting for Cui Zhiruo to explain, Sheng Liuming said something and left.
Cui Zhiruo sighed and watched Sheng Liuming's back disappear before closing the door.
Afterwards, she went to her classmate's house. The first thing her classmate asked her was about today's blind date, so she told him about the situation.
"Did he really say that?"
The classmate sounded a little surprised.
"Yes, it was the first time I saw him so nervous. Although he had a smile on his face, his hands were shaking."
In my mind, I can still see the smile on Su Muchuan's lips, his hands clenched tightly together, and the way he trembles.
"He doesn't still like you, does he?"
"I don't know. After all, we've been friends for so many years. Maybe it's not love, but just a good impression between friends."
"So what are you going to do next?"
"If I could do it over again, I would go back to being friends with him, but that's not possible and I can't do that."
"Why not?"
The classmate asked back.
"Um?"
Cui Zhiruo couldn't answer for a moment.
"If you're both in a relationship, then that's not a good idea. But if not, then what's wrong with that? Just follow your heart. If you really like him, then I think there's nothing wrong with you being together. It's just a reunion, and it won't bother anyone else. There's nothing morally wrong with it. As long as you like each other, there's nothing wrong with being single."
“…”
Although this is true, Cui Zhiruo no longer has the same love for Su Muchuan as she did in the past.
I can no longer experience that feeling of secret love.
"By the way, I haven't asked you how it is living in that little guy's house?"
Cui Zhiruo thought for a moment before saying, "His house is quite big, almost like a five-star hotel, and it has a luxury suite."
"I'm so envious. I want to drink some coffee or juice."
"Some coffee, then."
The classmate made a cup of coffee and handed it to Cui Zhiruo.
"I can't believe it. Such a tiny guy has become so famous in just a few years. He's so rich and so handsome. If I tell people I know him, they'll probably think I'm bragging."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Cui Zhiruo took the coffee cup and held it in her hands. "More importantly, the first time I met him, I showed up in front of him wrapped in a bath towel. You have no idea how embarrassed I was. I really wanted to find a hole to crawl into."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
My classmates laughed at me endlessly.
"Is there anyone who takes pleasure in misfortune like you?"
"It's just like filming a TV show. If the towel falls off, it will be a disaster. Isn't that little guy a big star now? He's matured a lot, it feels like a different person. And he's an adult, so it's inevitable that he would have those kinds of thoughts."
