Lan Yixian looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes resting on Liu Zhiyue's face.
A little dazed.
She has felt that Liu Zhiyue is very similar to Liu Changqing to some extent since a long time ago. It may be that the looks of father and son overlap, which is why she has this feeling.
As time went by, she slowly recovered from the shock just now, and glanced at Liu Zhiyue who was looking at her with complicated eyes, and her daughter who was held in his arms...
"Zhiyue..."
Lan Yixian tried to say something.
"You and Shiyan are still young and you like this kind of thing... maybe you feel wrong."
"That's right, I do like your daughter."
With this reply, Liu Zhiyue slowly let go of the hand holding Zhou Shiyan.
And Zhou Shiyan, who had been held in his arms just now, planned to leave his presence after noticing that he let go of her hand.
Unfortunately, it was not possible.
Liu Zhiyue couldn't let her escape, so he grabbed her arm with one hand.
Hold it firmly in your hand.
After a few symbolic struggles, it was obvious that Zhou Shiyan was unable to break away from Liu Zhiyue, so there was a rare hint of anxiety in her tone.
"Liu Zhiyue, let go... don't do this in front of my mother."
Liu Zhiyue did not respond to Zhou Shiyan's words.
Instead, after waiting for a while, he led Zhou Shiyan towards the house.
Until he came to Lan Yixian.
The head is slightly lowered.
Liu Zhiyue looked at Lan Yixian sitting by the bed.
"Aunt Lan, my dad told me, so... I want to tell you something tonight."
"..."
Lan Yixian didn't answer. She probably guessed what Liu Zhiyue was going to say.
as expected.
I saw Liu Zhiyue looking serious and extremely serious.
He looked at her and spoke clearly.
"Please let me take care of your daughter and allow us to interact with each other for the purpose of marriage when she is of the right age."
"..."
"Don't do this, don't say this in front of my mother, I beg you..."
Lan Yixian did not respond. On the contrary, Zhou Shiyan was very troubled by what Liu Zhiyue said.
On the one hand, she had to admit that she felt very happy to hear Liu Zhiyue say these words.
But on the other hand...she was afraid that her mother would think too much.
If the two really get together, the two families will become in-laws... At that time, his mother will always see Liu Changqing and his wife.
How does it feel for the mother to see such a scene?
After Liu Zhiyue heard Zhou Shiyan's pleading tone, he looked at her with a slightly apologetic look in his eyes.
He also thought about this situation.
But he couldn't do it if he was asked to give up his own happiness for the sake of his parents...
Maybe this is cruel to Aunt Lan, but... Liu Zhiyue doesn't want to have nothing to do with Zhou Shiyan from now on.
He likes her.
It's enough to know this, don't think about anything else.
Looking at the two children standing in front of him, Lan Yixian lowered his eyes.
There was no expression on that face.
As if thinking about something.
After a long time, he looked back at Liu Zhiyue in front of him and... his daughter who was caught by him.
"Can you keep your promise?"
"mom!"
Upon hearing her mother's question, Zhou Shiyan quickly spoke out.
She looked at Lan Yixian, and what she saw was the face that had become very serious.
"I can guarantee that."
"..."
There was another period of silence, and Lan Yixian didn't know what was coming to his mind.
Finally, a smile appeared on her face again.
nodded.
"I believe in you father and son."
"Thank you."
When the conversation between the two came to her ears, Zhou Shiyan was completely stunned. She first looked at her mother who said these words, and then shifted her gaze to Liu Zhiyue's face next to her.
No...that's not the case.
It shouldn't be like this...
"Mom, you can't do this..."
"Shiyan, it's okay."
"..."
Facing her daughter, Lan Yixian smiled from the bottom of her heart.
"As your mother, I am satisfied to see you happy. Zhiyue... is a very good person. I feel relieved to leave you to him."
"mom……"
"If you two have anything to say, go outside. It's getting late and I'm a little sleepy."
This sentence was said to Liu Zhiyue.
Of course, Liu Zhiyue also heard the meaning of Lan Yixian's words.
After responding, she pulled Zhou Shiyan towards the door.
This time, Zhou Shiyan obediently allowed the other party to drag her away.
There is no needless struggle.
The door was closed.
Lan Yixian was the only one left in the small room.
She looked towards the door and in the direction where the two children had just left.
Finally, the body slowly lay down on its side.
Lying on the bed.
Lan Yixian did not close her eyes and looked ahead without making a sound.
This kid... really looks like Liu Changqing.
Came downstairs.
Only then did Liu Zhiyue let go of Zhou Shiyan's hand.
At the moment when she let go, Zhou Shiyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly felt like she had lost something.
He subconsciously grabbed it forward.
Her actions were noticed by Liu Zhiyue, and Zhou Shiyan, who noticed what she had done, felt a little panicked and wanted to pull back her outstretched hand.
But it's too late.
Her hand was held by Liu Zhiyue.
Hold it firmly in your hand.
"If you like this, I can hold your hand all the time."
"I……"
There was only a brief word "I" coming out of his mouth, and then he couldn't say anything else.
Zhou Shiyan lowered her head.
Looking at the hand held by Liu Zhiyue.
In this dark downstairs, with the faint light, you can see his hands clearly.
"Why did you come."
"Because... I don't want to leave behind memories that I will regret."
"Why do you want to appear in my life..."
"I can't say for sure. Maybe God arranged it this way."
"Why...I will fall in love with you..."
"What a coincidence, I also like you."
Raising her lowered head, Zhou Shiyan looked at Liu Zhiyue who said these words.
The expression she was good at pretending still disappeared without a trace at this moment.
Indifference is just her disguise.
Only in this way can she be protected from being bullied by her peers as she grows up. This is something Zhou Shiyan has realized since she was very young.
He was just an insignificant person at first... obviously he was still a fat boy last year...
Why, why did I see him talking to other girls...
You will feel uncomfortable yourself.
Why……
"No reason."
Such words came from Liu Zhiyue's mouth.
As if he heard the other person's thoughts, he responded like this.
He slowly raised his hand and touched her cheek with his palm.
It's like looking at a rare treasure.
"In this life... don't even think about running away from me, I won't allow it."
