Liu Weicheng has always known that Li Shiyi is interested in him.
When did you first notice it?
Around that time in the cafeteria...
Working in the same place, it was inevitable to meet frequently. It was during that time that Liu Weicheng paid special attention to her, a single mother with a child.
At that time, Liu Weicheng had not confirmed his relationship with Lin Nianwei, so there were always some problems in controlling the distance.
Take things like holding Li Shiyi as an example. It has happened so many times that one hand cannot count it.
Women have always been emotional creatures. In simpler terms, they are the so-called love brains.
As you grow older, those unrealistic ideas may change little by little, and you may begin to gradually consider your own life, or your future economic level and other factors.
However, Liu Weicheng perfectly meets these factors.
At the beginning, I set up a fried skewers stall in front of the school. Although there was some income, I could only barely save some money.
Later, I received the compensation from my deceased parents from my aunt, plus a loan from the bank, so I took over the mess in the school cafeteria.
After various expenditures, the effects of the canteen gradually became apparent. Later, the school's canteen was taken over, and the overall income reached a level that was unimaginable at the time.
With the establishment of outsourced canteens, he alone contracted lunch boxes for many schools and middle- and lower-level enterprises in the city.
Although Liu Weicheng is not yet a rich man today, he may earn more money in just six months than an ordinary person can earn in half a lifetime.
He is young, his appearance is getting better and better, and his future is bright.
Combining various elements, Liu Weicheng's existence will only make the women around him unknowingly involved with him.
Li Shiyi is the best example.
Maybe when she first met Liu Weicheng, she didn't have those bold ideas, and she just regarded him as a boy who was younger than herself, but occasionally acted a little precocious.
But as the time they spent together increased, she gradually discovered Liu Weicheng's excellence.
Not only does his future look bright, but he also cares more about his children.
The foreshadowing of various premises also caused her thoughts towards Liu Weicheng to change little by little.
Li Shiyi knows her position very well.
It is simply a fantasy for a successful man in his early twenties with a bright future to marry a woman who has been married once and has a daughter.
She had never thought about marrying Liu Weicheng. Even if she had thought about the possibility, she would have quickly rejected it.
All she needs is a partner who can bring her a sense of security and love for her daughter.
Whether she gets married or not, and whether she has that status or not, it is no longer important to Li Shiyi today.
Such thoughts became more intense after the relationship between Liu Weicheng and Lin Nianwei was confirmed. It was also because of this that when she was downstairs at her house that night, she said that as long as Lin Nianwei didn't know, he could do whatever he wanted to her.
…
But Liu Weicheng chose to refuse at that time.
Nowadays, he still has the so-called conscience, and at least he cannot do anything that would be embarrassing to his partner in this kind of matter.
Faced with Liu Wenci's repeated rejections, Li Shiyi, who seemed to have given up her life, was always around Liu Weicheng.
It's not like she hasn't tried to forget the other person, but judging from the results, such an idea undoubtedly ended in failure.
Liu Weicheng is like a well-hidden swamp.
By the time you realize you've fallen in, it's already too late.
Return to the car.
At this moment, Liu Weicheng just listened to Li Shiyi's words silently. He never expressed his opinion from beginning to end.
He was actually a little surprised. He was originally talking about whether he was in trouble, but suddenly it was related to him again.
Perhaps because of being explicitly rejected by herself, Li Shiyi gradually relaxed a lot.
From being reserved at the beginning, to now being straightforward and unabashedly expressive.
Following the silence, the three people in the car made no sound.
In addition to the faint sound that is made when breathing, there is only movement that occurs when the car is driving.
Facing the conversation between two adults, the young Yunyun could not understand what was being said.
She could only stare at the scenery outside the window with nothing to do.
It wasn't until she saw the car driving into her neighborhood that she shouted in a childish voice.
"We're home!"
The car... gradually slowed down.
It wasn't until we parked at a nearby vacant space that the dull atmosphere in the car was broken by Yunyun's words.
Liu Weicheng cast his gaze out the car window and saw two elderly people squatting at the door of the building.
It seemed that due to years of hard work, the two strangers looked unusually old. He looked back at Li Shiyi in the back seat. When he noticed that the other person was also looking at the two people outside the car window with a complicated expression, he understood.
Who are those two people?
"Your parents?"
"Um."
He responded.
It was as if the words just spoken in the car had never been said at all.
Take a breath.
For Li Shiyi, what should come will always come.
Even if she didn't want to face her parents, she couldn't continue to escape at this moment.
After pushing the car door open and getting out of the car with her daughter, she was about to turn around and say something to Liu Weicheng. Who would have thought that when she turned around, she saw that the other person had also turned off the car and got out of the car.
With his eyes widened in surprise, he watched the other person walking closer and closer to him...until he came to his side.
In my ears, the other party's low voice came.
"First go and see what your parents are doing here. Also... don't say anything about what you said in the car again. I can't do anything to apologize to Lin Nianwei at the moment."
One sentence, two meanings.
Li Shiyi, who had been rejected more than once, did not become disappointed because of this. On the contrary, she was somewhat grateful that Liu Weicheng would face her parents from afar with her.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes again, Li Shiyi had completely calmed down her nervousness.
He held his daughter's hand a little tighter and followed Liu Weicheng towards the building.
He came to his parents and shouted.
"Dad, Mom."
"..."
"..."
The two of them were forced to stay downstairs because they didn't have the key to their home. When they saw Li Shiyi walking towards them, their attention was focused on her for a moment, but they didn't dare to shout.
After all, there is a big gap between the current Li Shiyi and the image the couple had in mind.
In the impression of the couple, their eldest daughter should be a girl who looks tired and wears very rustic clothes.
However, Li Shiyi appeared in front of them at this moment. Not only was she dressed brightly, but she also exuded confidence, as if she was not in the same world as them.
The couple stared at Li Shiyi in front of them for a long time, and then turned their attention to the little girl she was holding.
Looking at his grandson, looking at Yunyun's chubby little face...
Then he nervously asked.
"Are you...Shiyi?"
"It's me."
"The changes are so great that your father and I didn't even recognize you at first!"
It wasn't until Li Shiyi admitted it personally that a smile appeared on the old woman's face.
She then stood up from her crouching position and came forward, looking up and down at her daughter.
