Chapter 55
It was a rainy day and Sheng Huaizhou was working outside. Xia Weining went to bring him food. Sheng Huaizhou stood under the pavilion and looked at the blurry figure in the rain. He couldn't see clearly under the cover of the rain, but he always felt something was pulling at his heart. As the distance kept shrinking, he finally saw who was coming in the rain.
Without any hesitation, Sheng Huaizhou plunged into the rain and ran towards the figure. The police officers on duty nearby were shocked.
The two finally reunited. There was no dry spot on Sheng Huaizhou's body. He was the Rain Man himself. Xia Weining hurriedly tilted the umbrella towards him and was pushed over by him. Sheng Huaizhou wiped his face, scraping off the rain, and then asked, "How did you get here?"
Xia Weining held up the lunch box and said, "I'll bring you food."
Sheng Huaizhou felt very distressed and held the lunch box in his arms, "Send you back, it's not safe."
"I'm fine." Xia Weining thought for a moment, "Then you're not safe either."
"This is my job. I'm a police officer."
Well, she was persuaded and left after staying for a while.
On the way back, Xia Weining could still vaguely see his busy figure standing at the corner. She suddenly felt her eyes moist. She remembered that many people had said before that she was lucky to have found Sheng Huaizhou, who had a good job, a good family, and a good family.
She retorted at the time: "That's because I'm good enough. Only when I'm good can I attract good people."
She had discussed this topic with Sheng Huaizhuo before. At the beginning, she was not completely without ideas. She asked him what to do if she found out that the other person was not perfect after a long time.
Sheng Huaizhou's words gave her great encouragement. He said, "I'm not perfect. After meeting you, I feel like I've become perfect. Because you are perfect, I'm surrounded by perfection, so I'm naturally perfect too."
Xia Weining smiled and said he was a smooth talker.
Sheng Huaizhou held her hand and placed it on his heart, saying, "This is truly sincere and can't be more sincere. You can feel it slowly here."
Xia Weining struggled to break free but failed, and he forcefully put his arm around her shoulders, leaning her whole body against his chest. The two of them stood side by side, quietly gazing at the stars in the sky. They felt the joy of reuniting after a long separation, experiencing surging emotions, and even witnessing the respect for life after the separation of life and death. Not knowing if the trauma in his heart was still there, Xia Weining gently patted his back, as if to give him strength.
Sheng Huaizhou's body trembled, and he increased the strength of his arms and slowly tightened them.
"I want to be by your side forever."
This was his response.
Sheng Huaizhou lowered his head and kissed her on the top of her head, a smug smile slowly appearing on the corners of his mouth.
He knew that Xia Weining was considerate and easygoing in front of other people. She was easy-going on the surface, rarely expressed her opinions publicly, and was very reasonable. In her own words, she was even a bit of a people-pleaser, always putting herself in a difficult position for others. But Sheng Huaizhou knew that she was actually very opinionated in her heart, and would be confrontational with him and would not give in. He liked this kind of "specialness" that belonged to him alone.
Xia Weining once said that she wanted to change. She didn't want to bring her bad attitude and emotions to the people close to her anymore. But Sheng Huaizhou didn't let her change. How could he change the "bad temper" that he had developed with great difficulty?
It was this difference that made him feel very unique. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly gave her another kiss.
Time flies, and their relationship becomes more stable. Sheng Huaizhou comes to pick up Xia Weining whenever he has nothing to do. He is tall, handsome, and has long legs, so he can show off his uniform temptation anytime and anywhere.
One day, Xia Weining had just walked out of the school gate when she saw him leaning against the car, smoking a cigarette and talking on the phone. He looked nonchalant and lazy, and his casual movements made her want to bleed from her nose. Xia Weining couldn't help but sigh in her heart that he was like a peacock that always spread its tail feathers, trying every way to attract her attention. She felt it but had to pretend to be indifferent on the surface.
He walked over and snorted, then Sheng Huaizhou immediately put away his phone and ran over happily.
In their relationship, Sheng Huaizhou is the humble one, and he longs for Xia Weining's attention.
Afterwards, Xia Weining spent the happiest few years of her life. The only small episode during this period was Xia Li's college entrance examination. A conflict arose when filling out the college entrance examination application form. Xia Weining gave her advice from her own perspective, and her attitude was a bit tough.
Xia Li was a little angry and asked why Xia Weining was so high and mighty, treating her like a prophet and a puppet, manipulating her life at will.
Xia Weining retorted: "I'm doing this for your own good."
"Take care of yourself first. I don't need your presumptuous plans." Xia Li said, "Being too kind is also a kind of pressure. You always arrange everything properly, and others can only follow suit. I'm very anxious, afraid that I've let you down."
Xia Weining was stunned for a moment, and then she realized how much pressure Xia Li was under.
Then she let go. Everyone is the master of his own life, and she cannot be with someone for a lifetime. She should let Xia Li choose the path she wants to take and become an independent and free adult.
Xia Weining said to her, "You are a grown-up child now. You can choose your own path. I will no longer make decisions for you. I will only take you out to see the world and broaden your horizons. I will be there when you need me, and I will not disturb you when you don't."
Xia Li wanted to be a doctor and finally applied to a medical university. This was also Xia Weining's wish back then. Unfortunately, she did not become a doctor. Fortunately, Xia Li succeeded this time.
Family and love are developing in a positive direction, and so is her career. Xia Weining was named an "Outstanding Teacher." When accepting the award, she said, "I am very happy to be a glorious people's teacher. I love this career and am willing to follow it for life." She bowed deeply and choked up, saying, "I am also very lucky to have my lover here with me at this moment. I feel extremely fulfilled."
In the past, she couldn't imagine that she would have such happiness. Fantasy itself is a kind of self-salvation and reconciliation. Here, she looks back on the past, examines herself, finds redemption, and finally gains courage, moving forward with a more confident and relaxed attitude.
Now she understands that all her anxieties stem from her inferiority or lack of self-confidence, and her failure to fully recognize herself. When she truly accepts herself from the bottom of her heart, she discovers that the world is so vast.
When Sheng Huaizhou came down from the stage to receive the award, he ran towards her with flowers in his arms, and the two hugged each other and kissed gently.
That night, everything was going on tacitly. Xia Weining was nervous and excited about what was about to happen. When the two bodies really touched each other, her body shivered involuntarily, as if passed through by an electric current. The subsequent reaction was even more wonderful. It turned out that something she had never tried before was so wonderful.
Afterwards, the two hugged each other, and Sheng Huaizhou was very emotional, "After many years of long-distance love, we are lucky to still have each other standing by our side."
Xia Weining stood up and kissed him, saying, "I used to be anxious and worried, thinking I would end up alone, but who knew God would give me the best gift, to shine at the most important moment."
They smiled at each other, and Sheng Huaizhou took out a ring and put it on her ring finger, "Will you marry me?"
Xia Weining wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and whispered softly in his ear, "I do."
If there is a word to describe their love, Xia Weining would say it is a two-way journey.
Only love that is mutual can last the longest.

Returning to her own world, she felt a sense of loss. Xia Weining had become a thing of the past. She continued to live as Xia Li, but her experience as Xia Weining had already been engraved deep into her life.
Xia Li finally let go of all her obsessions, quit her job, and used her savings to open a small shop. She knew that she might lose everything, but this made her feel at ease and no longer had to worry about internal conflicts. That was enough.
After a period of investigation, she decided to open a dessert shop in a commercial district, opposite a star-rated restaurant. Sheng Huaizhuo suddenly had the idea to come and inspect the store. At the end, his niece asked him to bring some dessert. In order to choose one nearby for convenience, he walked into Xia Weining's store.
Xia Weining was checking today's order data when she felt someone standing in front of her. She casually said, "Welcome." When she looked up at the person, she was stunned for a moment, especially when she saw his face clearly. Time seemed to stand still, her breathing became rapid, and great joy resonated in her chest.
She couldn't believe her eyes. She stared at him carefully, not wanting to miss a single detail, looking for evidence that he was not Sheng Huaizhou. Otherwise, she couldn't explain why there was someone so similar.
Sheng Huaizhou felt uneasy when she stared at him. He smiled friendly, but felt that something was wrong with this boss. He pointed at the door and said hesitantly, "How about I..."
"No need." Xia Weining put away her composure and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Wait here for a moment, it will be ready soon."
Sheng Huaizhou told us what dessert he wanted and sat aside waiting.
Xia Weining couldn't help but glance to the side, her hands were shaking with excitement, and it took her a lot of effort to make these desserts.
The moment she handed the dessert over, she blurted out subconsciously, "Hello, let's get to know each other again. I'm Xia Li."
Sheng Huaizhou looked at her unusual behavior, and after a little hesitation, he reached out his hand, smiled, and said, "I'm Sheng Huaizhou, the owner of the restaurant across the street."
Xia Li also laughed. It turned out that no matter which world she was in, Xia Li would meet Sheng Huaizhou.
She will definitely meet him, no matter how late it is, fortunately they didn't give up.
This restaurant is one of Sheng Huaizhou's many investments. He rarely came here before, and the last time he came was on a whim. Who would have thought that he would go to work and come home on time every day since then, and be more active than the employees, so much so that the employees began to doubt their lives. When did the boss become so passionate about work? What's even more strange is that he spends most of his time running to the dessert shop opposite when he comes here. If you don't know, you might think that's his shop.
With such a helper, Xia Li became a hands-off boss. After a series of publicity operations and product improvements, the dessert shop became prosperous and business got better and better.
The relationship between the two also developed in the predicted direction. Xia Li couldn't help but sigh that no matter whether it was Xia Li or Xia Weining, they would meet Sheng Huaizhou, just like a ship will eventually sail to the other shore. Although there will be many storms in the middle, they will always remember where the destination is.
Because she was very pessimistic, she sentenced her life to death early on. Now she knows that if she lets go of her past self, she will usher in a brand new self, and it is never too late.
Part of life is destined by heaven, and the rest depends on yourself. The foundation of life is different. Some people are born rich, and you may not be so lucky, but ordinary people have ordinary ways of living. I believe that after irrigation, the life will be prosperous and smooth.
Facing life bravely is more important than anything else.
Now she can finally say loudly: "I am only 30 years old this year, and everything has just begun!"
