On a deep winter night, with the cold wind blowing, Peng Zhihua drove Gu Yunzhou and Liu Xinyan towards Ning County.
"Zhihua, thank you. It's New Year's Day and I'm bothering you." Liu Xinyan said apologetically.
Gu Yunzhou glanced at Liu Xinyan, then shifted his gaze to Peng Zhihua who was driving the car. "Why are you being polite to him? We are brothers and sisters who grew up together."
As he was talking, he asked her as if he was chatting normally, "Why are you sitting alone in the pavilion so late at night?"
Liu Xinyan forced a wry smile.
"I have confirmed my relationship with Ruofei. My uncle and aunt may not be very satisfied with me and think that I can't help Ruofei in any way.
When I was away, I guess he said some unpleasant things to my uncle and aunt.
So this time, my aunt took her anger out on me.
During the Chinese New Year, Ruofei invited me to his house for dinner. When my aunt found out about it, she also urged me to go. ”
Peng Zhihua listened carefully, and when he saw Liu Xinyan's depressed tone, he quickly asked, "Why? Did Ouyang Bo and the others give you a hard time?
What does Ouyang Rufei do for a living? He is a grown man, and if he can’t handle his parents, what’s the point of dealing with them? Did he just watch his parents bully you? ”
Peng Zhihua's tone was filled with indignation.
He and Ouyang Ruofei had never gotten along since they were young. They would fight whenever they met, and they had fought countless times since they were young.
Ouyang Ruofei is one of those cool, smart, and well-behaved kids. Like Gu Yunzhou, he is the "other people's child" in the eyes of the elders among the kids in the compound.
Peng Zhihua was the naughty leader in the compound who chased chickens and teased dogs.
Children like them admire military heroes like Gu Yunzhou, but they hate academic tyrants like Ouyang Ruofei.
"No." Liu Xinyan quickly defended Ouyang Rufei.
"It was fine at first. In front of Ruofei, my uncle and aunt were pretty nice to me. But then I got a call from the hospital saying there was an emergency, so Ruofei rushed to the hospital and left me behind."
Liu Xinyan said with grievance, "Later, my aunt talked to me about some of her innermost thoughts, but I didn't like it, so I left with the excuse that something happened at home.
After leaving Ouyang's house, I thought that my aunt and her family might be having a lively meal together. Wouldn't it be a shame for me, an outsider, to go there at this time...
I had nowhere to go, so I thought of sitting in the pavilion. ”
Gu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, "Just sit in the pavilion? Why do I see you look like you are wiping tears?"
Peng Zhihua glanced at Liu Xinyan, worry and concern flashing in his eyes.
Liu Xinyan's voice became much softer. "No, I just miss my parents. If my parents were still alive, I would have a home, and I would definitely not have nowhere to go on New Year's Eve..."
Thinking about her current situation, Liu Xinyan was very confused. She had already confirmed her relationship with Ouyang Rufei, but the Ouyang family didn't seem to like her.
Before, when Liu Xinyan heard that he was going to get engaged and came to him to ask for a result, Ouyang Ruofei told her that he would always put his career first in his life and love affairs would have to take a back seat in his life.
