"I have never seen you when you were a child, I only saw it from the photos your mother carried with her."
"A very cute little boy. When you were a child, you were more like your mother, but when you grow up, you become more and more like your father..."
"Your parents...are really kind people."
"So kind that even someone like me is willing to accept you."
Dong Yao was moved by the memories that came to her mind. In that dilapidated house, the couple made her feel the atmosphere of the festival for the first time.
It also made her realize for the first time that home could be so harmonious.
"When the accident first happened, I couldn't accept the reality for a while... By the time I remembered that I still had you, you had already been picked up by your aunt's family."
"Maybe I'm too weak. I always think that seeing you will remind me of the couple... so I haven't even met you once."
"If I hadn't met you by chance, I might never have taken the initiative to find you in my life."
"Over the years... I have become accustomed to living alone. As I get older, I occasionally feel lonely when I am alone."
"It sounds annoying to you to say this now. After all, I'm not very familiar with it, so I just kept talking to myself..."
Dong Yao's narration became more and more confusing because she recalled the memories that made her sad. It was difficult for Liu Weicheng to understand the meaning of her words, and he just regarded them as the other party talking to himself.
He didn't know what to say to comfort the other person. Just when Liu Weicheng was confused about how to speak, the woman in front of him took a deep breath.
Regulate your emotions.
"Stop talking about this, let's eat quickly."
The meal didn't last long, and the two people who finished the conversation began to work hard on the meal in front of them.
After eating and drinking, Liu Weicheng simply tidied up and then left the canteen with Dong Yao as an invitation for a walk.
Walking in the school playground.
Many students have also finished their meals in the cafeteria. Taking advantage of this break, many laughing and playful students gathered in the playground.
Walking around the runway, I looked at Liu Weicheng's side face.
Just looking at it made Dong Yao feel as if she had returned to more than ten years ago.
At that time, the man also accompanied her, walking...
"Why are you here?"
An inappropriate question interrupted Dong Yao's thoughts.
When the two heard the shout, they looked behind them in the direction of the sound.
The figures of Zhao Xuanying and Shen Yunli appeared in front of them, holding badminton rackets they brought from nowhere and doing post-dinner exercises on the playground.
Liu Weicheng also looked a little surprised when he saw the girl.
After coming back to his senses, he did not answer the other party's question, but instead asked in confusion.
"Why are you playing badminton right after eating? Why don't you go back to class and take a nap during your lunch break?"
"Lili said she wanted to lose weight."
"Who, who said that!"
Shen Yunli, who wilted when she saw Liu Weicheng present, stammered in response. She noticed that Liu Weicheng looked at her and lowered his head shyly, not daring to look directly at him.
Although she privately clamored to teach Liu Weicheng a lesson sooner or later, every time they met, she always acted shy and unsatisfied.
"I'm just too full, so I need to eat..."
Ignoring Shen Yunli's thoughts, Liu Weicheng looked at the racket in Zhao Xuanying's hand, thought for a while and then asked.
"I remember the school didn't allow you to bring these things, right? Where can you get something as big as a badminton racket?"
"I asked Sister Shiyi to keep it for safekeeping. I'll send it back as soon as I finish playing."
After all, Zhao Xuanying and Li Shiyi are considered acquaintances. Even if they don't get along so well, there is still no problem in helping with this little favor.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xuanying looked at Dong Yao standing next to Liu Weicheng.
She had a deep impression on this strange man.
After all, the two had already met once during the Chinese New Year party.
Shut your mouth.
Her eyes looked back and forth between Liu Weicheng and Dong Yao, and then Zhao Xuanying asked.
"What are you doing?"
"Just like you, take a walk to eat."
"oh."
"There's nothing to do. Let's go first. You two don't get too tired from playing. Exercising after meals is actually not good for the body."
"knew."
After a few more words of warning, Zhao Xuanying said goodbye to the two of them.
He pulled Shen Yunli, who had been shrinking his head and acting like a turtle from the beginning, away from the two of them.
Looking at the two people who were playing badminton again in the distance, Dong Yao, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"Her name is Zhao Xuanying."
"Yes."
"Chen Shikun...you shouldn't have come to see her during this time, right?"
"..."
Liu Weicheng was slightly startled when he heard this name.
Then he shook his head slightly.
"No, I haven't seen him for a while."
"Yeah……"
After falling silent, Dong Yao looked at the two people in the distance, her eyes staying on Zhao Xuanying for a long time.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Weicheng aside.
"You like her."
"ah?"
Liu Weicheng was a little surprised by his straightforward speech.
When they were in the cafeteria just now, the other party also blamed Li Shiyi for liking him, but now it was Zhao Xuanying who made Liu Weicheng panic.
After reacting, he didn't even notice why he felt panic at this moment.
"How is it possible? I already have a partner now, and she is only a high school student."
"But that's not the case in my opinion."
Smiling and shaking her head, Dong Yao continued.
"You can't say panic in your eyes. The way you looked at her just now is the same as that of the woman named Li Shiyi just now."
"..."
"You and your dad are different in this respect. He is much more dedicated than you."
"hehe……"
Liu Weicheng no longer knew what to say.
The woman in front of him would always say something that he couldn't understand. She had no impression of her parents who had passed away, and she always brought the topic to that aspect.
Seeing that Liu Weicheng didn't want to talk to him, Dong Yao continued.
"Back then, after I found out that your dad was married and had a child, I still wanted to poach your mom, but your dad didn't have the slightest intention of doing that, so I didn't succeed."
"..."
"Although I have no experience in getting married, nor have I ever had a proper relationship, I still think about my age, so I can be considered half-experienced."
At this moment, Dong Yao seems to have taken herself into the role of a parent.
At this moment, Liu Weicheng seemed to her like her own child who was a little emotionally confused.
As someone who has been through it for a long time, she appropriately gave her own experience.
Looking at the other person's unnatural smile...
"If you continue to be so unclear, you will be the one who suffers in the end."
"..."
Listening to Dong Yao talking non-stop next to him, Liu Weicheng seemed to be going in one ear and out the other, not paying attention at all.
In his opinion, although Dong Yao does not have a bad personality like his sister, her actions are equally bad.
But this kind of attitude that treats oneself as a junior and wants to warn you about everything...
It's also a headache.
If possible, he really wanted to let the other party go back as soon as possible.
