"By the way, have you two decided when to get married?"
"..."
"..."
The originally lively atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly fell into silence because of Hao Yufen's words. Zhu Qinqin, who was sitting next to Lin Nianwei, glanced secretly and found that her brother and sister-in-law beside her had complicated expressions.
After several seconds, Liu Weicheng replied.
"Auntie, don't ask too many questions. When the time is right, you will get married naturally."
"Haven't all the parents seen it? It's about time..."
"This dish is very delicious. Auntie, can you teach me how to make it?"
Interrupting Hao Yufen's words, Liu Weicheng pointed to an ordinary home-cooked dish in front of him and chose to change the topic.
I just experienced Lin Nianwei's confession last night, and I was asked like this today. No one can give a reasonable explanation to such a question.
Liu Weicheng noticed Lin Nianwei's embarrassment next to him, so he took the initiative to respond while the other party didn't know how to respond.
The topic of urging marriage was brushed aside in such a light way. The dinner table where the whole family gathered was lively, but in the seemingly harmonious atmosphere, estrangement had already arisen.
After dinner, facing Lin Nianwei who wanted to help clean up the dishes, Hao Yufen, the hostess of the house, did not agree. After urging her to go to the living room to rest, she took her husband to get busy.
On the sofa, the TV is playing a program.
Zhu Qinqin, who finally had a break, simply took off her shoes and lay down lazily. She put her feet on Liu Weicheng's head and tilted her head to look at the TV. From time to time, she would laugh out loud at the program.
Compared with Zhu Qinqin who was smiling alone, Liu Weicheng and Lin Nianwei on the side were obviously not so relaxed. The young couple who were supposed to be together were separated by one person. No one took the initiative to talk to each other, and they didn't know what to take the initiative to say.
something.
Liu Weicheng actually has a lot of questions to ask.
For example, when I informed the other party before dinner, why did Lin Nianwei seem to have just cried not long ago, and what were the other party's true thoughts after yesterday's incident.
Too many doubts pile up in my heart.
Liu Weicheng is not the kind of person who keeps asking questions, and when faced with Lin Nianwei who doesn't want to tell, he won't force the other party to tell him.
In a room between two people, neither one asks, and the other does not tell.
The atmosphere seemed to be deadlocked here. Except for Zhu Qinqin who put her feet on his lap and watched TV happily, the other members of the family were busy with their own affairs.
The aunt and his wife were responsible for cleaning up the pots and pans after the meal, while Zhu Shushu went back to her room early and stayed shut.
There were only three people in the living room at the moment, and apart from the noise coming from the TV, no one in the entire area made a sound.
until……
"You two had a quarrel, right?"
A word of affirmation came from Zhu Qinqin's mouth. The little girl rested her head on the armrest of the sofa and lightly tapped her foot on Liu Weicheng's lap twice.
This sentence also diverted their attention from the TV. After realizing that the two people in front of them were staring at her, Zhu Qinqin added calmly.
"Sister Weiwei always clung to you when you two met before, but today you are like a stranger. Did you have a quarrel? It must have been a quarrel, I can see it."
"..."
"What's there to argue about? If there's any misunderstanding, why don't you just talk it out? Don't you two know the truth that even a kid like me knows?"
As he said that, he kicked Liu Weicheng twice hard with his little feet.
Zhu Qinqin turned sideways and changed to a lying position.
They all muttered.
"It made me not in the mood to watch TV. I quickly went out and started talking. I was bored to death."
The strength of Liu Weicheng's kick became stronger and stronger, and the space between the two of them gradually shortened with her movements. It was not until their arms touched that Zhu Qinqin stopped.
One person occupies most of the sofa and enjoys this comfortable space.
The two people whose bodies collided looked at each other. Just when Liu Weicheng opened his mouth to say something, Lin Nianwei's words came out of his mouth first.
"It's getting late, time to go back, right?"
"You want to go back?"
"Well, I have to go to work tomorrow."
Nodding in response, Lin Nianwei stood up, passed in front of Liu Weicheng, and walked to the kitchen. After saying goodbye to the two people who were still busy, she looked like she was about to leave.
The visitors were guests. Hao Yufen and his wife sent Lin Nianwei to the door, and Liu Weicheng also got up and left.
After getting into the elevator, it wasn't until the moment the elevator door closed that Liu Weicheng heard a sigh of relief beside him.
He glanced to the side and looked at Lin Nianwei's tired face.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the numbers dancing on the elevator screen.
"Why didn't you call me today?"
A sudden sentence came to Liu Weicheng's ears, with a somewhat reproachful tone. When Liu Weicheng looked at him again, he noticed the unhappiness on Lin Nianwei's face.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was enduring a lot of dissatisfaction.
Seeing that Liu Weicheng didn't respond, they all muttered.
"I've been waiting for your call since get off work... What, your attitude now is that you are ready to break up with me?"
"I thought you didn't want to see me."
"Who said that? Did I tell you personally that I didn't want to see you?"
When the question came out, Lin Nianwei took a step closer to Liu Weicheng, and the two of them were almost touching each other.
He raised his head slightly and looked at the man beside him.
"Obviously I've been waiting for your call."
"I thought you finished what you said yesterday..."
"I thought! Did I say before that your biggest shortcoming is that you tend to think too much? I didn't say anything. Why did you think I had other ideas?"
"After those words were said last night, any man would think so, right?"
"What did I say yesterday? Did I tell you yesterday that I wanted to break up? Or did I tell you that I didn't want to see you anymore?"
"..."
As soon as the series of questions came out, Liu Weicheng fell into silence for a while.
Indeed, as Lin Nianwei said, when faced with Lin Nianwei who revealed all his feelings last night, the other party did not say such words personally.
It was just that he thought arrogantly that this relationship that had lasted for more than half a year might have come to an end.
Because of this, there was no contact with Lin Nianwei during the day.
"Ding~"
The elevator arrived at the first floor, and after the ding sounded, the elevator door slowly opened.
The two of them stepped out, and Lin Nianwei specifically accelerated her pace, as if she wanted to get rid of Liu Weicheng.
As he walked, he kept mumbling.
"Did I always praise you before, so I gave you the illusion that you have no shortcomings? In fact, you have a lot of shortcomings! It's just that I've been putting up with it before, so I never mentioned it!"
"Why do you worry so much? Why do you always consider other people's opinions? It's you who is dating me and no one else. You just say what you want to do and say. You always like to think alone.
What are you thinking about? If you have any dissatisfaction, just say it directly!"
"Let me tell you, I have been very dissatisfied with you for a long time. Just like what my aunt said at the dinner table just now, just answer honestly. What are you talking about? How do you prepare this dish..."
The marching footsteps suddenly stopped. Lin Nianwei's move made Liu Weicheng somewhat unexpected.
After he also stopped, Lin Nianwei, who had her back turned to him, suddenly turned around.
