Mo Zhu finally revealed his daughter's true thoughts: "The person you can't let go of is actually Xiao Pei, right?"
Li You suddenly had a lump in his throat.
Now that her mother had told her everything directly and clearly, she no longer hid it and admitted frankly: "I can't bear to let him go."
Mo Zhu asked: "Does he know about this?"
Li You nodded: "I know."
Mo Zhu: "Then what did he say?"
What did he say...
Li You recalled that in the afternoon, she mentioned this matter in front of Pei Jingzhou, and Pei Jingzhou only said: "You can go wherever you want."
That's it really, nothing more.
At that time, Li You felt heartbroken, not because of Pei Jingzhou's attitude. Even if he treated her coldly, she would not feel heartbroken. She felt heartbroken because of the current choice.
However, she did not tell her mother what Pei Jingzhou said. She only said: "He knew about it, but he didn't say anything."
Mo Zhu: "I don't believe he didn't say anything."
Li You was stunned: "..."
Mo Zhu pinched her daughter's cheek gently: "You two have such a good relationship, but one day you suddenly told him that you were going to study abroad. Did he really not say a word? Mom didn't believe it."
The tip of Li You's nose suddenly became sour, and he threw himself into Mo Zhu's arms and said angrily: "I should stay in the country, where he can see me."
Mo Zhu gently held her daughter in her arms, sighed and asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Li You shook his head: "Still not."
Mo Zhu said softly: "Then think about it again."
"But I don't know how to make a decision." Li You's crying voice became heavier.
Mo Zhu gently patted his daughter's back shoulder: "There are many choices you can make. If you can't make up your mind now, it doesn't matter. Just think about it again."
After standing outside for a while, Mo Zhu led Li You into the living room.
When Guan Suling saw Li You's state at this time, she swallowed back all those words. Her son-in-law had also told her something just now. She would no longer try to force Li You to stay, and would just wait for Li You to make his own decision.
That night, Li You and Guan Suling slept together.
Guan Suling patted her arm gently like she coaxed Li You to sleep when she was a child: "Good girl, grandma doesn't care if you stay or go abroad. Nothing is more important than your happiness. Don't be too entangled, just do whatever you want.
"
Li You bowed to Guan Suling and said, "If I go abroad, grandma won't be able to see me all the time."
Guan Suling's tone was full of doting: "If you go to study abroad, grandma can also come to accompany you. Country T is too far away. Grandma will definitely stay for a month or two once she comes, which is considered satisfactory."
Li You responded: "Okay."
The next day.
Li You dressed up specially before going out.
After graduating from the college entrance examination, she spent some time dressing up, even though her appearance didn't require too much fancy dressing.
Today she was wearing a matte blue knee-length skirt and carrying a small bag her mother bought for her on her shoulder. She went to Pei Jingzhou School to look for him.
Pei Jingzhou's summer vacation is not long. He has some classes and experiments in school, and he is in the laboratory today.
Li You came so often during the summer vacation that all the classmates around Pei Jingzhou knew her.
Before I even got close, I heard one of my classmates say: "Lao Pei, your girlfriend is here."
The title of girlfriend is somewhat uncomfortable for Li You.
Even though she had already confessed to Pei Jingzhou in a hurry on the day after the college entrance examination, she became his girlfriend.
Pei Jingzhou raised his eyes and saw her outside the laboratory. She was wearing a misty blue dress as bright as a peach and plum. She was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. She stood on tiptoes and waved to him.
Pei Jingzhou threw the book to his classmates: "Take it back for me."
The classmate took the book with an envious look on his face: "A man as boring as Lao Pei has found a girlfriend with such a lively personality. They complement each other so well. My girlfriend wishes she wouldn't contact me twenty-four hours a day."
Pei Jingzhou glanced sideways and replied: "Relationships are mutually beneficial. You should take the initiative to contact the other party."
The classmate sighed: "That won't work, I have to be steady."
Pei Jingzhou: "It doesn't matter if you are stable, you are not far away from being single."
Roommate: "... Damn! How can you say minus 36 degrees with your 36-degree mouth!"
Pei Jingzhou ignored him and walked towards Li You who was waiting for him at the door.
As soon as he saw Pei Jingzhou coming out, Li You immediately stepped forward and took Pei Jingzhou's arm, "I'm coming."
Pei Jingzhou asked her: "Why didn't you send me a WeChat message before coming here?"
Li You: "I want to give you a surprise."
Pei Jingzhou: "It's indeed a surprise."
"I've thought about it." Li You said suddenly.
Pei Jingzhou paused and looked at her sideways: "What are you thinking about?"
Li You also stopped, took a few steps forward, looked at Pei Jingzhou and said, "I've made up my mind, I won't go to Country T."
Last night, with her mother's guidance and her grandmother's encouragement, she decided to live with her grandmother instead of going abroad, so that she wouldn't have to have a long-distance relationship with Pei Jingzhou.
"If I don't go to country T and stay in the capital, we won't be in a long-distance relationship. I can come to you at any time and you can see me at any time." Li You had a bright smile on his face: "Isn't this great?"
She was genuinely happy.
So she hurriedly told Pei Jingzhou, hoping that he would be as happy as she was.
But to Li You's surprise, Pei Jingzhou was not as happy as she expected. After hearing what she said, his face showed almost no expression.
The smile on Li You's face gradually faded. She didn't understand why Pei Jingzhou reacted like this: "Aren't you happy?"
Pei Jingzhou answered her softly: "Happy."
Li You let go of his arm: "You are lying. Your expression tells me that you are not happy at all."
Pei Jingzhou said: "I'm really happy, I didn't lie to you."
Li You looked at his calm and composed face: "Your expression doesn't look like you are really happy at all. It's very difficult."
"You are not forcing yourself. You are willing to stay in the country because of me. How can I be unhappy?" He said softly.
Li You heard something behind the scenes: "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Pei Jingzhou took Li You's hand and said as he walked: "I said yesterday that you can go wherever you want to go. I didn't say it out of anger."
Li You said, "I know."
"Li You." He called her name.
Li Youyou responded dully: "Huh?"
Pei Jingzhou's unhurried voice fell in her ears: "The sky is high and birds can fly. No matter it is before, now or in the future, I will not trap you by my side in any name unless it is absolutely necessary."
Li You raised his face and looked at him: "Why is it only a last resort?"
Pei Jingzhou: "If this time really comes, it means that you need me very much at this time. When there is no other way, it is also the time of last resort. In addition, I promise you that I will not use you in any name."
Trapped."
Li You: "But..."
Pei Jingzhou: "Go to country T and stay with your parents. I will stay with you in my own way."
Li You was stunned for a moment: "Your way?"
At this time, Li You didn't know that what Pei Jingzhou said about staying with her in his own way meant that he would spend more than 200 days out of 365 days to fly to country T to see her.
