Chapter 38 He and His Problems

# Chapter 37 He and His Problems

Feng Zhi and Liang Yu strolled to the lake.

They were the only ones left by the lake at this time. There were not many people in the town, mostly elderly people and children. It was already completely dark, and those who had brought their children to play had already gone home.

The lakeside is now quiet, a rare sight in the city.

Tonight, the gentle moonlight and countless stars are reflected in the lake, with rippling waves and sparkling water. There is no city prosperity, no city noise, and no city neon lights. Just being in such an environment makes people's hearts relax involuntarily.

Feng Zhi took out a box of cigarettes from somewhere, shook out a cigarette and asked Liang Yu if he wanted one. Liang Yu thought about it and took one.

Feng Zhi withdrew his hand, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, put the cigarette box back, took out a lighter, and lit both Liang Yu's and his own cigarettes.

The two walked in silence, puffing out smoke. After a while, Feng Zhi blew out a smoke ring, then he pondered and said, "I don't know what to do."

Only Qiao Shuyan and Wen Qingluo were left in the tent. He took a longan from the stove, put it to his mouth to blew away the heat, then peeled off the shell and handed it to Wen Qingluo who was in a daze.

Wen Qingluo took the longan and put it into his mouth.

Qiao Shuyan watched Liang Yu and Feng Zhi strolling by the lake from afar. After retracting his gaze, he picked up the tongs beside him and put three or two more red date peanuts on the stove while asking, "Lolo, why did you say just now that you and President Feng couldn't go on?"

Wen Qingluo did not answer when he heard this. He refilled Qiao Shuyan's cup of tea and said, "This aged Pu'er tea was sent by Azhi's friend. It's good stuff. You should have some more." After that, he refilled himself a cup.

Qiao Shuyan doesn't usually drink much tea and doesn't know how to appreciate it, but the flavor of this Pu'er tea is indeed strong. He picked up the cup and took small sips.

"We've been together for five years," Wen Qingluo took a sip of tea before speaking, "I've thought about the future before, but I probably avoided it because I was afraid of separation."

"avoid?"

Wen Qingluo glanced at him, then turned back to look at Feng Zhi by the lake, her beautiful eyes flashing with inexplicable emotions, "Habit is a terrible thing. I've gotten used to having him by my side, so I can't imagine, and don't want to imagine, life without him."

"Why do we have to separate?" Qiao Shuyan didn't understand.

Lakeside——

Feng Zhi had a cigarette in his mouth, the light from the cigarette butt reflected on his face, and his eyebrows, which were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川", were clearly visible.

"When I was still a graduate student, my family urged me to return home. Did you know that?"

Liang Yu blew out a smoke ring and nodded.

When Feng Zhi was studying for his master's degree, he had already returned to China, but they were familiar with each other and kept in touch even though they were not in the same place. In fact, Feng Zhi didn't have many friends who could be called close friends, and Liang Yu was one of them. Moreover, Liang Yu's maturity and stability were what he lacked, but also what he longed for, so when he was undecided, he would want to consult Liang Yu.

At that time, Feng Zhi's grandfather was critically ill, and Feng Zhi asked for leave to return home to see him. During that time, he was forced to meet several girls of equal status. But later, his grandfather's condition improved, and he had not yet finished his studies, so the matter was temporarily shelved.

However, this incident has always been a thorn between him and Wen Qingluo, and it has not been removed to this day.

Beside the tent——

The air at night became cooler and cooler. Wen Qingluo felt a little chilly, so he picked up the teapot from the charcoal stove, poured a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm not afraid that he will fall in love with some girl or other man. On this point, I still have some confidence in myself and him." Wen Qingluo stared at the empty white teacup in his hand and said slowly, "It's just that as a man, I can't give him a child, and this child may be the minimum requirement for marriage for a family like his."

Qiao Shuyan had never thought about this question before, but now that Wen Qingluo mentioned it, he actually felt a little guilty and couldn't help but look towards the lake. They were probably a few dozen meters away, and in the night, they could only vaguely see the figures of Liang Yu and Feng Zhi.

Lakeside——

"You also know the situation of our family. Now my dad and several uncles and brothers are helping my grandpa. Currently, because my dad is the eldest son and has strong abilities, he is the largest shareholder in the company besides grandpa. But who can say for sure about things like shopping malls." Fengzhi As he spoke, he smacked slightly, with a somewhat sarcastic smile on his face, and then took out the burned out cigarette from his mouth, intending to throw it to the ground. Halfway through, he looked back at the tent, casually put the cigarette butt into his trouser pocket, then took out another cigarette and lit it.

After a series of actions, he suddenly asked: "Did you know that I originally planned to pursue a Ph.D.?"

Liang Yu held the cigarette butt in his mouth and shook his head to deny it.

"Yes, I don't think I told you." Feng Zhi took a deep puff of smoke and then blew out a big smoke ring. His eyes seemed to be blinded by the smoke and were a little moist. He sniffed and continued in a deep voice, "I had no freedom in my life before I went to M University. Going to M University was a deal I made with my family.

"Since I started school, they have hired countless teachers for me. The money they spent on my studies is probably enough to buy me a big villa in a first-tier city. However, the more they forced me to study, the less I wanted to study, so my grades were not very good.

"I had a big fight with my dad about my grades and was almost kicked out of the house. After that, I thought about it for a long time and decided to take a gamble and exchange getting into M University for a few years of free time.

"As you know, my score was almost enough, but I didn't have enough strength. But they were very happy and donated a building, so I was admitted. Because the admission was conditional, my freedom was also conditional. But it was better than before. After all, there was a time difference of more than ten hours and a vast ocean between us. They were willing but unable to help.

"In order to extend my free time, I was really preparing to study for a doctorate. But later Luo Luo didn't want to stay abroad anymore, so I went back to China with him without telling my family. We didn't go back to S City, but went to A City with Luo Luo, where I also had some bad friends.

"But later on, I don't know which idiot told them off, and they found out, and then told me to go home and find a date, get married, and join the company. I refused, so they suspended all my credit cards."

Liang Yu took the cigarette butt in his hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "So how have you been doing during this time?"

Beside the tent——

"Do you think Ah Zhi is stupid?"

"That won't happen." Qiao Shuyan shook his head, then explained with a smile, "A top student who graduated from M University should be at least smarter than me." He was not a person who judged people by their appearance, and he was unwilling to make comments before he got to know the other person, as that would be irresponsible to both others and himself.

Wen Qingluo seemed to smile, shook his head and said, "He seems to be used to that carefree and cynical look. He can't be said to be very smart, but he is definitely not stupid. At least he knows how to prepare for a rainy day.

"It seems that before we were together, around the time he started pursuing me, he frequently asked his family for money. Given his family's financial situation, they were never stingy with pocket money. I heard from him that when he didn't actively ask for it, he could make millions a month. Later, after he got together with me, he gave me all the money he asked from his family.

"So after we returned to China, he refused to come home, and his family froze all his cards, thinking that this would force him to go back. But he didn't care at all, and instead used the money he had saved to come here and open a B&B with me."

As he spoke, Wen Qingluo gave a sly smile.

Lakeside——

"Don't underestimate me. Although the pocket money I saved during school is not much, it's nothing to invest in a B&B."

Liang Yu: "...I want to kick you, the Versailles, into the lake now." As he said that, he raised his leg and hit Feng Zhi.

Feng Zhi dodged his leg and said with a smile, "The car I drive now was also bought with that pocket money."

Liang Yu glanced at him and turned to leave.

Feng Zhi quickly pulled him back and said, "Hey, hey, hey, it was just a joke, don't go."

"Mr. Feng has no idea of ​​the sufferings of the world." Liang Yu sighed.

"I know that. I've been running a B&B for two years, and I know it's hard to make money." Feng Zhi said, sighing, and the cigarette in his hand ran out again. He took out another one and lit it, then looked at Liang Yu again and said, "So I don't know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu asked Feng Zhi for another cigarette, lit it, took a puff, slowly exhaled the smoke, and then spoke: "Boss Feng is leaving his family's prosperous road alone and asking me what to do. It's really a bit infuriating."

Feng Zhi: "But I really don't know what to do."

Beside the tent——

The water in the teapot was almost gone, so Qiao Shuyan picked up the mineral water next to him and added some water. Then he took some peanuts and roasted them on the stove.

Wen Qingluo looked at him quietly for a while before speaking again: "His parents have been contacting me frequently recently, in order to get me to leave him and let him go home. In fact, I also want him to go back. I know that he also wants to go back in his heart, not only for his parents, but also for himself."

"Why do you say that?"

Wen Qingluo thought for a moment and said, "Azhi actually has great ambitions. Over the years, I know he has been holding back his anger... From childhood to adulthood, there have been too many voices denying him. He needs an opportunity to prove himself to them and to himself."

For a moment, Qiao Shuyan actually felt a little sorry for Feng Zhi. Material satisfaction cannot cure spiritual exhaustion.

Wen Qingluo continued, "However, ordinary opportunities won't work. He must go back to make it happen. Now we open a small B&B, but even if it is packed with people, we can't get recognition from his family.

"So, he seems confused, but he is actually just entangled. If he goes back, it means we will be separated. I know he can't bear to leave me... but I don't want to be a shackle for him to move forward."

Lakeside——

"How can he be a shackle? God knows that only when I am with him do I feel truly alive!" Feng Zhi said, ruffling his hair irritably, "I will never leave him just to prove myself. He is the whole meaning of my life."

Liang Yu sighed, "Did you two get through?"

Feng Zhi nodded: "We have discussed this several times, and he insisted that I go back."

"Are you two being too stubborn?"

"What?"

"First of all, whether you go back or not, and whether he follows you or not, it doesn't mean that the two of you have to break up." Liang Yu said, "Secondly, if you analyze it carefully, your family definitely wants you to go back now, whether you are willing or not, so the initiative is in your hands. To put it bluntly, now is a good opportunity for you to 'blackmail', why are you still entangled?"

"Ah?" Feng Zhi was stunned. "Blackmail?"

Beside the tent——

"Yes, blackmail!" Qiao Shuyan's eyes flashed with cunning, "His family doesn't agree with you being together now, but they want Mr. Feng to come back, so you should take this opportunity to negotiate conditions! Use your relationship as the bottom line and make demands. Mr. Feng can come back, but not blind dates; he can take over the company, but he can't break up with you... In short, Mr. Feng's family must understand that they have to make a choice now."

Wen Qingluo was silent for a while before saying, "Go back... I'm scared..."

Lakeside——

Feng Zhi held a cigarette he had just lit in his hand without putting it in his mouth. He kept holding the cigarette and was silent for a long time before he said, "I... I... can't afford the risk now..." There was an unignorable bitterness in his voice.

Liang Yu sighed slightly, "Feng Zhi, the past is the past, and the future is the future. Don't let your past define your future. Just because you can't protect him now doesn't mean you can't in the future. Since you know you are not strong enough, you must become strong as soon as possible. It's okay to escape temporarily, but you can't keep running away for the rest of your life!"

Feng Zhi did not answer.

Liang Yu continued: "If you don't even have this determination, then I hope you can separate from him as soon as possible."
