Chapter 24
"How do you know it's Lian Jian?" Shi Miaomiao asked in surprise.
Bai Yiren: "You showed it so obviously, how could I not know."
Shi Miaomiao sighed, "To be honest, Yiren, I've been feeling very troubled lately."
"What are you worried about?" Bai Yiren asked puzzledly.
"Oh, I feel very conflicted." Shi Miaomiao sighed again.
"What's wrong with you? Do you want to tell me about it?" Bai Yiren said sympathetically.
"If you like someone, but there are a lot of things between you two, and these things affect your life plans, will you still be with him?" Shi Miaomiao asked.
Bai Yiren knew she was talking about herself, but she didn't point it out.
She thought for a moment and then said slowly, "If it were me, I would explain my concerns and concerns to him. If he promised to correct them and take concrete actions, I would still be willing to give each other a chance."
"If he doesn't change his ways, then we'll just call it quits." She took a sip of coffee, took a breath, and continued.
After listening, Shi Miaomiao pondered for a long time. Yes, why should she worry so much? She liked Lian Jian. Instead of worrying about whether they were suitable for each other, it would be better to give the decision to Lian Jian.
If Lian Jian is willing to take action to correct his mistakes, it proves that he also cherishes this relationship in his heart, and she is willing to give each other a chance.
If Lian Jian just talks about it, he probably won't put it into action, and then the two of them will completely separate.
Shi Miaomiao was very happy that the problem was solved so easily.
"Come on, let's have a drink. I know what to do." Shi Miaomiao understood.
Seeing that she was no longer as depressed as before, Bai Yiren comforted her, "I told you, nothing can stump Shi Miaomiao."
The two clinked their glasses and took a sip of the coffee in their hands.
Shi Miaomiao put down her coffee, took Bai Yiren's hand, and said sincerely, "Thank you, Yiren."
Bai Yiren shook her head and said gently, "Just figure it out yourself."
The relationship between her and Lian Jian cannot be treated as a simple love between a man and a woman.
They once depended on each other and spent a long ten years.
Not family, but better than family.
Therefore, she was very cautious when dealing with her relationship with Lian Jian, hoping not to leave any regrets for each other.
Shi Miaomiao and Bai Yiren talked a lot with their hearts open. Time ticked by, the sun set in the west, and the two said goodbye reluctantly.
In the evening, Shi Miaomiao was lying on the sofa thinking about her and Lian Jian, when she unexpectedly received a message on her phone.
Lian Jian: Are you at home?
Shi Miaomiao: At home.
Lian Jian: After the Chinese New Year, I will come to Lincheng with my parents.
Shi Miaomiao: Okay.
She paused, thinking of her conversation with Bai Yiren today, and unconsciously typed: Can we meet when you return to Lincheng?
Lian Jian: Okay, see you then.
I want to see you too.
Lian Jian didn't type these words, but what he thought of in his heart was Shi Miaomiao's smiling face.
Shi Miaomiao: Yeah, okay.
Thinking of Shi Miaomiao's parents, Lian Jian asked a few more questions: Are you going to visit your parents during the New Year?
Shi Miaomiao had already told Lian Jian that she would spend the New Year alone, but Lian Jian was still worried that she would be lonely.
Shi Miaomiao denied: No, I will spend the New Year alone.
Lian Jian knew that Shi Miaomiao was a very principled person and would not change his decision once he made it, so he didn't say much.
He just gave me one final reminder: Okay, then you wait for me to return to Lincheng.
Shi Miaomiao: Okay.
Although Shi Miaomiao didn't talk about love with Lian Jian, Lian Jian knew that Shi Miaomiao's attitude towards him was not as tough as before. He thought that as long as he didn't give up, he would succeed sooner or later.
With this little bit of hope, Lian Jian had a rare good sleep.
In the following days, Shi Miaomiao's mother still did not give up and sent her many messages, wanting her to go to her home for the New Year. Shi Miaomiao knew in her heart that she did not want to eat such half-cooked rice.
Her father also warmly invited her to celebrate the New Year with him, but she still wanted to celebrate the New Year quietly by herself instead of going to someone else's house and forcing herself to be happy, so she refused.
During the Chinese New Year, every household will prepare New Year's goods, and Shi Miaomiao is no exception. Although she is alone, she also wants to have a good New Year.
She was alone and bought a lot of things she liked, including useful things, food, and clothes. She would have a happy New Year, even though she was alone.
Time flies, and the New Year comes so quickly.
Shi Miaomiao first wrote Spring Festival couplets and hung them in front of the door. Then she decorated the house a little, creating a strong atmosphere of the New Year.
She made the dumplings herself, stored them in the refrigerator, and then prepared the ingredients for the hot pot in the evening.
She was alone and it was Chinese New Year, so she made a hotpot and watched the Spring Festival Gala. The red pot also symbolized a prosperous day. It was so beautiful.
WeChat on her phone kept ringing, but she didn't have time to answer it.
At night, fireworks flickered outside the window, making the city lively and beautiful.
Shi Miaomiao was sitting at the table enjoying hot pot and watching TV when she remembered her cell phone which had been ringing for a long time.
When she turned on her phone, she saw messages from several people sending their blessings.
Bai Yiren: Miaomiao, happy new year.
Li Bing'er: Happy New Year, Miaomiao, did you set off fireworks?
Liu Yueyue: Miaomiao, what delicious food did you eat during the Chinese New Year?
Lian Jian: Happy New Year, I will go back to Lincheng tomorrow.
She replied to their messages one by one and sent them different blessings.
When it was Lian Jian's turn, she simply replied: Okay, Happy New Year.
Her parents also sent her messages, and she replied according to etiquette, but the words they spoke seemed strange.
At nine o'clock in the morning on the first day of the new year, it was the ringing doorbell that woke her up.
Shi Miaomiao was wondering who would ring someone else's doorbell so early in the morning right after the Chinese New Year.
He completely forgot about Lian Jian who said he would return to Lincheng the night before.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lian Jian standing at the door. He was wearing a light brown down jacket and a red scarf, and it was obvious that he was in a hurry.
"You're back?" Shi Miaomiao was surprised.
Lian Jian looked at Shi Miaomiao, who was wearing pink pajamas and had messy hair. He couldn't help but rub the top of Shi Miaomiao's messy hair.
"Yeah." He nodded slightly.
"Are you getting up just now?" His voice was slightly teasing. Shi Miaomiao looked up and could only see the lower half of his face with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"What? We're not allowed to sleep in on the first day of the new year?" Shi Miaomiao retorted subconsciously.
"No, I'm just concerned about you." Lian Jian said in a doting voice.
"Happy New Year, Miaomiao." Lian Jian said this before Shi Miaomiao could say anything.
The voice was very magnetic, and Shi Miaomiao found it particularly alluring.
"Happy New Year." She murmured in response with her mouth slightly open.
She subconsciously took a step back before she reacted.
"Come in. It's the first day of the new year. Are you back so early?" As she welcomed him in, she subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was just past nine o'clock.
He rushed from Pingcheng to Lincheng early in the morning. He had to get up very early.
"You arrived in Lincheng so early?" Shi Miaomiao picked up the cup and poured a cup of hot water for Lian Jian.
"Yes, I thought you would be lonely spending the New Year alone, so I came early to accompany you." Lian Jian sat down, took the water handed to him by Shi Miaomiao, took a sip, and explained softly.
It seemed like it was such an easy thing for him to rush from Pingcheng to Lincheng early in the morning.
"Lian Jian, did you come back alone?" Shi Miaomiao felt embarrassed that Lian Jian valued her so much, so she asked softly.
Lian Jian shook her head. "My parents are coming back too, but I've already said hello to them. I have to go back to Lincheng first to meet my friends."
"Meeting friends?" Shi Miaomiao was puzzled.
"Yeah, can I say I'm going to meet my girlfriend? You've never agreed to reconcile with me."
Lian Jian had a smile on his face, as if this was just a simple statement from him rather than a small complaint.
Shi Miaomiao didn't know what to say.
Lian Jian saw that the atmosphere had fallen silent again, and he sighed softly.
"Okay, don't think too much, Miaomiao. I came back to Lincheng so early simply because I wanted to see you earlier."
"I miss you so much, Miaomiao." Lian Jian said very seriously.
Seeing Shi Miaomiao sitting on the sofa opposite for a long time without saying a word, her expression could not reveal anything.
He continued to explain: "I don't want to add to your psychological burden, nor do I want to put pressure on you. I simply miss you and want to see you. It's been a long time since we've been together like this."
Shi Miaomiao finally reacted at this time. She finally figured it out. She seemed to have made up her mind, and the whole person became more relaxed. She smiled: "Lian Jian, actually, I miss you too."
When Lian Jian heard Shi Miaomiao say this, the light in his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Miao Miao, what did you say?" He seemed unable to believe it.
"Lian Jian, I miss you too." Shi Miaomiao patiently recounted the story.
"Miao Miao, do you mean that you are willing to give me another chance?" Lian Jian confirmed again.
Shi Miaomiao nodded, "Lian Jian, no matter how much I deny it, I have always liked you and have always had deep feelings for you."
She took a sip of water when she said this. Even Jane didn't interrupt her, and listened to her explanation patiently: "But I'm too scared, you know? I'm afraid that we'll repeat the same mistakes as before, and we won't even be able to be friends anymore."
"I'm afraid that I'll have to choose between you and my personal pursuits in the future. What I'm even more afraid of is that we'll both lose our original intentions and change, and I won't know what to do."
Even Jian was very clear about the fear and terror that Shi Miaomiao mentioned, and he also knew that the reason why he broke up with Miaomiao had a lot to do with this.
He also knew that they were all very young now, and after several years, Miaomiao was afraid that they would repeat the same mistakes.
He understood everything, but Miaomiao underestimated his love for her and her importance to him.
