The period of falling in love with Liu Weicheng was probably the happiest period in Lin Nianwei's life of more than 20 years.
She has always had her own way of doing things, and for the first time she has someone she cares about. Her personality has also changed from being indifferent at the beginning, to gradually starting to have people she cares about.
Now Lin Nianwei can no longer go back to the past.
Entering the house, humming an unknown tune, she was in a good mood and went up the stairs to return to her room.
However, the sound of footsteps coming downstairs, accompanied by a shout, stopped her cheerful steps.
"Nianwei."
"What's wrong?"
Her father Lin Jianshe's shout rang in her ears. Lin Nianwei stood on the stairs and turned around, looking at the figure standing in the living room.
The other party's face was not very good.
It may have something to do with not having a good rest recently. Lin Jianshe, who is already somewhat elderly, looks even worse.
He seemed to be hesitant, staring up at Lin Nianwei on the stairs. After a while, he raised his hand and gestured towards her position, as if he was coming to discuss it in detail.
Seeing her father's mysterious posture, Lin Nianwei turned back with some doubts, walked down the stairs, and walked to her father's side.
There was some complaint in his tone.
"I'm so sleepy. I don't have anything important to do, so I'll just take a shower and go to bed first."
"Who sent you back just now?"
The tone was very serious, which was very different from the usual relaxed conversation between father and daughter.
His brows furrowed slightly, he already knew the answer in his heart, but Lin Jianshe still wanted his daughter to say it herself.
"My boyfriend."
After saying these words, Lin Nianwei's face was already full of smiles.
Whenever she mentioned Liu Weicheng to others, she always smiled, even when she was answering her father at this moment.
Recalling in her mind how her father was so distressed about his marriage, Lin Nianwei raised her head slightly and continued with a little joy on her face.
"Didn't I often say in the past that when you reach my age, you should already have a date?"
"..."
"Hehe, you have nothing to say this time~"
She leaned forward and raised her hand to hold her father's arm, like a spoiled daughter who liked to cling to her father when she was a child. Lin Nianwei felt a little shy and muttered.
"Don't worry about it. I will properly arrange your future life."
"..."
He already knew the answer, but when he heard his daughter announce the news in person, Lin Jianshe still felt a chill in his heart.
If he were an ordinary child, he wouldn't have such a big reaction.
Even though the conditions in the man's family are much worse than his own, Lin Jianshe is not the type to force his daughter to marry someone he doesn't like just for the sake of being a good match.
When he first treated his son Lin Sheng's marriage, he didn't take this seriously.
But...the daughter's situation is completely different from that of the son.
As old matters were involved, Lin Jianshe couldn't express his concerns to his daughter directly. He just looked at the figure holding his arm and talking non-stop with complicated eyes...
The daughter in my memory was still a little child.
Blink your eyes, so many years have passed.
The girl who was not very talkative back then has now grown into an outstanding young lady.
Lin Jianshe also thought about how his family would gradually become more lively in a few years after all his children got married...
In the early years, his family fell into decline, and he left the countryside alone. During this period, he met the biological mother of a pair of daughters, and gradually developed from poverty to the current family situation.
After working hard for most of his life, Lin Jianshe now just wants to spend the rest of his life in peace.
He... didn't want his daughter to be harmed even a little bit.
"His name is Liu Weicheng. Although his name is ordinary and his appearance is ordinary, he is a super nice person! Really, I am not exaggerating at all!"
Holding her father's arm, Lin Nianwei was like a salesperson strongly recommending products, describing her boyfriend's advantages to her father as much as possible.
"Of course, his appearance cannot be said to be ordinary. He is the kind of person who becomes more pleasing to the eye and more handsome the more he looks at him. Hehe... I feel that he is so handsome now~"
"..."
"When I have time, I will ask him to come to my house. Once you meet him in person, you will know that he handles things properly, is motivated, and is very kind to me. You can rest assured."
"..."
"And he's special..."
"Does it have to be him?"
She didn't finish her words of praise for Liu Weicheng. Just when Lin Nianwei was about to talk about Liu Weicheng's advantages in detail, Lin Jianshe's rhetorical question blocked the unfinished words in her mouth.
Looking at his daughter beside him, Lin Jianshe tried his best to stabilize his emotions.
After hesitating for a while, he then asked.
"Except for that boy named Liu Weicheng, no other man can fall into your eyes?"
"Of course!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Nianwei responded to her father loudly.
He let go of his father's arm and walked around in a circle, chatting in detail, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden.
"It's not like no one chased me when I was in school. There were many handsome ones, but none of them could make me feel this happy."
Liu Weicheng's face appeared in my mind, recalling the first time the two met, got acquainted, and now fell in love.
From misunderstanding, to dislike, to now...like.
It's like a plot that only develops in movies, where initially happy enemies gradually develop a good impression of each other as they come into contact.
Liu Weicheng is the type who will be particularly annoyed by the other person's nonsense when they first meet him.
But once you get to know them deeply, the shining points of the other person will be engraved in your mind bit by bit.
The longer we know each other, the more obvious our views on him become.
The footsteps circling around Lin Jianshe stopped. Lin Nianwei raised her head slightly and looked at the shining chandelier in front of her.
He muttered silently.
"He... is very special. I feel particularly relaxed when I am with him. He can always notice some small changes. He can even notice if I accidentally change the brand of shampoo."
After a pause, Lin Nianwei raised her head and returned her gaze to her father.
"Dad, actually I hated you very much when I was little. I always felt that you let me go time and time again just to work... Once people are more disappointed, they will no longer have expectations."
Lin Nianwei was lonely when she was a child.
My father is away from home all year round and doesn't stay home for a long time.
In order to study, my brother never leaves the house and locks himself in his room all day long.
When she was a child, she obviously had a happy family, but she always felt that she was just one person from beginning to end.
That feeling of loneliness has been lingering in her childhood memories since she was very young.
Because of this, Lin Nianwei refused to make new friends as an adult. The only person who could be called a good friend was Duan Yining, who had grown up with her since childhood.
The idea of wanting to live alone for the rest of my life completely disappeared after meeting Liu Weicheng.
This was the first time Lin Nianwei realized that... liking someone is such a happy thing.
"Except for him, I will never fall in love with anyone else in this life."
In front of her father, Lin Nianwei said this sentence firmly.
