Upon hearing Dong Yao's question, Liu Weicheng didn't know how to answer for a while.
He has all the memories of Liu Weicheng in the past, but he has never experienced it in person. He lost his parents in childhood and was treated like a football by his relatives at home, who regarded him as a hot potato.
If his aunt hadn't rushed over in a hurry, Liu Weicheng doesn't know what kind of miserable childhood he would have experienced as a child.
Fortunately, under the care of his aunt and his family, his childhood life was considered happy.
However, his childhood experiences made Liu Weicheng a bit eccentric when he grew up, and he would not easily confide his inner thoughts to others. Even to his aunt's family, who was very fond of him, he almost never revealed his feelings directly.
Open your heart.
He thought he was considerate and chose to drop out of school, and even used an extreme method to force his aunt Hao Yufen to allow him not to go to high school.
A series of unfair treatments after he went out to work made Liu Weicheng, who had always been well protected, realize for the first time the dangers of society, which also intensified the eccentricities in his character.
If the toilet in Li Shiyi's house hadn't been broken, she would have asked him to come to repair it, but then her ex-husband Wu Yong, who heard the noise and rushed over, blocked it on the spot.
Maybe Liu Weicheng would not stand next to Dong Yao and talk to her now.
Everything seems to have been predestined.
To this day, Liu Weicheng is not sure whether the memory from the future is real, whether it has really traveled through time, or whether it is just the current Liu Weicheng who has another memory of someone else.
These... are not important.
It was with another memory that he became the Liu Weicheng he is today.
From the dull and inarticulate boy before, he has gradually become a man with a happy life now.
"I have lived a good life these years, and I have never been treated badly in terms of food and drink."
After responding, Liu Weicheng noticed that Dong Yao was staring at him.
"To be honest, I don't have much memory of my parents who have passed away. If I didn't have photos of them at home, I might not even be able to remember their appearance."
"..."
"To me now, I'm more curious about how you met."
His eyes fell back on Dong Yao. Liu Weicheng did not talk too much about his own deeds, but instead brought the topic to her.
Dong Yao also changed from a listener to a narrator.
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Dong Yao slowly started to talk.
"I have never dared to think of that experience, especially after learning of his death... I didn't even have the courage to see her for the last time."
"..."
"It's very cowardly, that's what I am."
Looking down at her feet, a story that had been dusty for many years came out of her mouth.
In Liu Weicheng's mind, a picture was constructed.
"It was summer when we first met, and I was just getting on the bus to go home..."
——————————————
"Ha~"
The white mist coming out of her mouth sprayed on her palms, which slightly warmed Zhao Xuanying's hands and feet, which were already cold from the cold.
The palms of the hands were pressed together, rubbing back and forth constantly.
Under such actions, the palms of my hands began to feel warm.
He brought it to his mouth and clucked his fingertips, but his eyes looked to the right from time to time, expecting to see that person approaching.
I waited downstairs for about half an hour.
She originally thought it would be a conversation that would end quickly, so after putting her things back upstairs, Zhao Xuanying turned back and prepared to wait for Liu Weicheng to come back and then take the car together.
I never thought that I would have to wait until now.
After about two or three minutes, Zhao Xuanying, who had been waiting for a long time, was about to go back home to warm up, when the figure of the person in her sight came belatedly.
He hurriedly trotted up to the other party, and was about to ask Liu Weicheng why it took him so long.
But when he looked up, he saw the other person's frowning expression.
The question came to his lips, but he swallowed it back after seeing the other party's expression at this moment.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"..."
Stopping, Liu Weicheng did not respond to the other party's doubts immediately. Instead, he noticed Zhao Xuanying appearing in front of him after being stunned for a moment.
Staring directly at the other person made Zhao Xuanying feel a little shy.
Just as he was about to ask the other party to stop looking at him like that, he heard Liu Weicheng mutter something in the next second.
"This world is really small."
"What?"
"nothing……"
After exhaling, Liu Weicheng did not speak too thoroughly. The mood that was relatively relaxed and happy in the morning had disappeared without a trace at this moment.
When Zhao Xuanying on the opposite side saw his appearance, she immediately thought of the woman she just met.
After reacting, he hurriedly asked again.
"Did she say something? And...who is she?"
"She is my dad's friend."
"..."
"Eh? Friend?"
"To be precise, I should call her aunt. She is my father's sister."
"..."
Zhao Xuanying could clearly understand every word he said, but why did it make people feel like they couldn't understand it when they were put together?
What kind of aunt, what kind of god-sister... In my memory, I heard Liu Weicheng mention his parents a long time ago. Didn't they pass away more than ten years ago?
"Sometimes I feel that even TV drama scripts don't dare to write like this. If this kind of experience is written into the script, I don't know how the audience will criticize it. It's too bloody..."
"I can't quite understand what you said from now on. Is that person... a relative of yours?"
"It doesn't count."
"What, you started telling riddles again."
Zhao Xuanying was very dissatisfied with Liu Weicheng's behavior, which was like playing a riddle. After her mouth started to rise, she started rubbing her hands together again.
Stomped his feet.
"Speak clearly, I don't know what you are talking about from the beginning."
"..."
After hearing Zhao Xuanying's complaint, it was only now that Liu Weicheng completely recovered from the story just now.
Just now, Dong Yao not only recounted the experience of how she met her father, but also revealed some things that were surprising to him.
Among them is why Lin Nianwei’s deceased mother is included in the photos at Lin Nianwei’s home.
Dong Yao secretly opened the back door to the original project, otherwise it would have been absolutely impossible for her parents to enter the project based on their status at the time.
The people in charge of that project at that time were Chen Shikun and Lin Nianwei’s father, Lin Jianshe.
The connection that had existed many years ago, went around for more than ten years, time was like a closed loop, and finally connected everyone together.
Just when Liu Weicheng was about to describe all these events to Zhao Xuanying, the girl in front of him didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly asked anxiously with a worried look on his face.
"Could it be that...she has thoughts about you? Your parents have been dead for so long, don't be a liar!"
"There are a lot of scammers nowadays. People often ask you to borrow money in the name of relatives. You must not lend it to her!"
"..."
Listening to Zhao Xuanying's words, Liu Weicheng swallowed the words when they reached his lips.
Sometimes, he did find the startled look of the girl in front of him a bit cute.
A smile appeared on his face.
"It's okay to lie to me, but..."
"But what?"
"But she wants to recognize me as her son, and she admitted it herself."
