"Okay." Cui Yunshang nodded, not wanting to affect her appetite, so he didn't say much.

"One of the desserts is for BB, how is he recently?" He changed the topic.

When Cheng Zhi thinks of Cheng Wang, he always smiles a little more.

We ate and chatted, and soon the dinner was coming to an end.

Cui Yunshang saw that Cheng Zhi was in a good mood.

Start to work out the words in your mind.

"that……"

"Huh?" Cheng Zhi tilted her head slightly.

She has slept better in the past few days, and her complexion has recovered. Her lips after eating are not as light as usual, but a darker cherry pink.

Cui Yunshang looked at her with pure and clear eyes, and suddenly felt sour in his heart.

He couldn't tell if it was distress or pity, he just felt that he was really uncomfortable at the moment.

On this trip to Nancheng, he not only learned something about Cheng Jiaye.

Based on the three words Cheng Jiaye, he learned about the Cheng family in the past and the Cheng family now.

I also know the former Cheng Zhi.

He has been to her alma mater, saw her graduation photos, photos of school activities and so on.

She is bright and brilliant in the photo, like a blooming white flower.

She was very different from the smiling softly in front of her now.

Now she is like a leaf that has been stripped of its veins.

Even if the sun and rain are abundant and every day is spring, it is difficult for her to be full of vitality.

"Your father..." Cui Yunshang said three words first to prepare her mentally.

Cheng Zhi opened his mouth and made a meaningless single sound: "Ah."

"What's the matter?" She asked softly, her eyelashes fluttered, and she didn't lift them up after falling.

The atmosphere began to cool down again.

Their table was out of tune with the gradually colorful noise around them.

"I didn't find anything suspicious," Cui Yunshang lowered his voice, and then slowed down, "I also couldn't find the place where your father died."

After a moment of silence, Cheng Zhi nodded with her eyes downcast.

She actually kind of avoided it.

As if she didn't know where her parents were buried, as the only daughter, she didn't go to worship them in person.

Their deaths are not recognized.

She can pretend they live far away.

It is possible not to recall her mother's condemnation, and the shackles her father gave her—the shackles of keeping the truth.

Sighing inwardly, Cui Yun still didn't continue to speak, giving her time to digest.

After the waiter came to ask if he wanted to heat the chocolate, Cheng Zhi finally found his voice.

"Thank you, Yun Shang, you must stop worrying about these things for me, it was all a long time ago."

"But to you, those things seem to have never passed." Cui Yun still didn't approve of her deceiving herself like this.

If you can't face it, you can't overcome it, and the pain will continue because of avoidance.

If this continues, she will never be able to look forward to the future calmly.

You can't see other people who have nothing to do with the past.

"It will pass, don't everyone say that time is the best medicine?" Cheng Zhi avoided his gaze.

She glanced at the time and stuffed her phone into her bag, "It's almost time for me to go back."

Cui Yunshang frowned slightly, wanting to continue persuading.

But he was selfish and not so confident, so he finally held back.

"I'll see you off." He got up with her.

Cheng Zhi shook her head, "You should still be busy."

"It's ok."

Cheng Zhi insisted, "Not Yun Shang, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Okay...bring some snacks." Cui Yunshang reminded.

Cheng Zhi grabbed the packed muffins and cakes and went downstairs with a wave.

Standing at the table and watching her slender back disappear into the doorway, Cui Yunshang took out his mobile phone and called back the call in the missed call.
