What makes you think I will always like you?

When the calendar is about to turn to the new year.

In the evening, it snowed heavily in Hangzhou.

The clear-cut snowflakes fell from the sky wantonly, and when the cold wind blew gently, they really floated around like catkins.

From time to time, a few snowflakes fluttered on the window, and then gradually disappeared.

"You've caught a cold. Stop standing on the balcony..."

While Chen Lu was looking at the snow, Liang Zhirou came over and touched Chen Lu's forehead. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, I don't have a fever."

"Why don't you have a fever?" Chen Lu couldn't understand.

Liang Zhirou:?

She just didn't understand why Chen Lu said this, so she could only hold the cup in her hand and hand it to Chen Lu, "Drink some hot water."

Seeing Chen Lu take a few sips honestly, she tied up her hair in a ponytail with satisfaction, "What do you want to eat? I'll go back after I finish cooking for you."

"Your boyfriend has caught a cold. You might as well stay and take care of me tonight." Chen Lu said confidently, "We can just celebrate the New Year together."

Liang Zhirou lowered her eyes and her voice became muffled: "When I went out, my mother specifically said that she would cook tonight and asked me to go back early..."

Chen Lu nodded slightly and said no more.

Aunt Xiao's instructions may not mean anything else, but it's like this, and he can't find any more excuses to let Liang Zhirou stay here.

Chen Lu hid the loneliness that flashed through his heart, picked up the car keys on the coffee table, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take you back later."

Liang Zhirou shook her head firmly, "You have a cold, don't go out."

Chen Lu knew how stubborn Liang Zhirou was at this time, so he had no choice but to sit on the sofa wrapped in a blanket.

"Then don't cook. It's going to be dark soon and it's snowing so heavily. I won't worry if you leave too late."

"But you have such a serious cold. You see your eyelids are drooping all the time. How could I let you cook alone..." Liang Zhirou muttered in a low voice with reason.

The girl's voice became softer and softer as she spoke, and her confidence quickly ran out, because for some reason, Chen Lu's tone suddenly became serious.

She was a little afraid of being killed.

Chen Lu pulled the girl into his arms and pinched her cheek gently, "Then I'll give it to you."

When it comes to thinking about each other, the two of them are equally stubborn.

Liang Zhirou reached out and touched Chen Lu's forehead again, then looked at the darkening sky outside the window, and said softly: "I'm going back now, don't go out..."

The girl asked this and that for almost 10 minutes, and then reluctantly left here at Chen Lu's urging.

After the door closed, the living room suddenly became quiet, except for the whistling of the wind outside the window.

And the faint sound of his breathing.

Chen Lu turned his head and looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and then looked at the dim living room.

Suddenly there was a feeling that he was the only one left in the world.

He slowly lowered his eyelids, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.

Sick people are always particularly afraid of being alone.

Feeling a little lackluster, I touched my forehead and found that it was indeed much warmer than before.

Damn, you must be sick. If you have a fever, hurry up.

......

the other side.

"It really hasn't snowed so heavily in several years." Jiang Chao said softly with hot breath.

The snow was even more shocking from the outside. As a gust of cold wind blew over, a hexagonal snowflake was blown onto Liu Yan's dark gray sweatshirt beside her, and soon melted into a small water stain. .

Jiang Chao patted Liu Yan's ponytail and the snowflakes on her shoulders, and said mockingly: "You are so nervous, you don't even know how to take pictures of snow. Relax, an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law."

Liu Yan saw Jiang Chao's hand hanging down slightly trembling, smiled and rolled her eyes at him without saying anything.

The two of them walked to the door. Jiang Chao was about to knock on the door when his outstretched hand was suddenly grabbed hard by Liu Yan.

"I just brought these things. Isn't it too shabby..." She glanced to the side unconsciously and whispered.

Jiang Chao's determination that he had finally made up with great difficulty was suddenly revealed. He looked sideways at the nervous Liu Yan, "It would be great if you are willing to buy something. How many girls come to the door now and will take the initiative to buy something? And they You don’t need anything, as long as it’s what you want.”

He looked at Liu Yan and found it really funny.

This woman is usually as fearless as a tigress, but I have never seen her intimidate anyone. Why is she so soft now?

No, he wouldn't have the courage to knock if he didn't knock.

Heartbroken, he stretched out his hand and tapped twice.

It was the housekeeping aunt who opened the door. Jiang Chao nodded to her and walked in with Liu Yan.

In the living room, Jiang Chao's mother Zheng Yunying was practicing calligraphy. Seeing that Jiang Chao stopped practicing, she casually put the ink-stained brush on the table and said excitedly:

"You finally know you're back! It happens to be tomorrow..."

Seeing the girl next to Jiang Chao, she was stunned again.

Jiang Chao raised his chin towards Liu Yan, "Mom, this is my girlfriend."

"Hello Auntie."

Zheng Yunying looked her over and over, with a slight smile on his lips, "Sit down quickly."

Jiang Yubo came back 10 minutes later. Apparently, the couple exchanged news.

The four people were sitting in the living room. Although the atmosphere was not very harmonious, it was not completely frozen at least.

Jiang Chao's mother would chat with Liu Yan from time to time, and Liu Yan would respond seriously with a smile.

In this kind of high-ranking family, where the family is not short of money, parents are always particularly worried about what their children are up to with the girlfriend they bring back.

But at least in her eyes, this daughter-in-law passed the test.

Jiang Chao and Jiang Yubo didn't say a word the whole time.

But Jiang Chao could tell that his father was inexplicably dissatisfied with Liu Yan, his daughter-in-law.

The likes and dislikes of a person cannot be hidden in the eyes.

"What do your parents do?" After a while, Jiang Yubo suddenly asked, "You don't look like locals."

Liu Yan smiled politely and said, "My family is from another province. My father works in a company and my mother runs a small business."

Jiang Yubo nodded invisibly without saying anything. Seeing a hint of contempt in his eyes, Liu Yan suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

What happened to the average family? What happened to the outsiders? Can't you fall in love?

Compared with this, what made her most uncomfortable was the other party's contempt for her parents' profession.

This is unbearable for any child.

But this man happened to be his boyfriend's father.

She, who usually has a hot temper, suddenly felt at a loss.

"Can you please stop checking your household registration?" Jiang Chao said coldly, "We are all ordinary people, who can compare to you?"

Zheng Yunying quickly tried to smooth things over, "Liu Yan has been involved in several lawsuits now, which is really amazing. Jiang Chao, how is your company doing?"

"I have made several million myself. The new game will be launched tomorrow, and the profit will be several million at least."

Jiang Chao said truthfully.

"You and Chen Lu are doing pretty well on this matter." Jiang Chao's mother subconsciously praised him.

These words immediately aroused Jiang Yubo, and he snorted coldly: "What's so good about it? It's worthless!"

"What does it mean to be promising? I have to do what you say to be considered promising?" Jiang Chao's anger that he had been holding back because of his father's attitude towards Liu Yan was now completely released.

Jiang Yubo said disdainfully: "Am I wrong? Can your mother and I harm you?"

"But why should I listen to you? I don't owe you anything!"

"I gave birth to you and raised you, you don't owe me anything?!"

"This is moral kidnapping! You gave birth to me and I deserve to be controlled by you? No one asked me for my opinion when I was born!"

Jiang Chao's tone became more and more aggressive as he spoke, "What exactly does it mean to be promising? What does it mean to be promising if you live the way you like?"

At least what I am doing now is what I have wanted to do since I was a child. This is my dream, and now I have surpassed many people in this regard. Isn’t this called promising? "

After all, he remembered Chen Lu's instructions, suppressed his rapid breathing, and tried his best to calmly say: "Dad, how old am I this year? How many people can earn millions like me at the age of 22?"

That is to say, there was no mirror in front of him, otherwise he was sure that the blood vessels in his temples would definitely be bulging by now.

Jiang Yubo had no intention of giving in, "If you get to the position I want you to be in, let alone earning millions at the age of 22, even someone who earns 12 million at the age of 1000 will have to bow to you!"

After he finished speaking, he stood up angrily, "The road has been paved for you. You can walk it with your eyes closed. If you don't walk, do you call it promising? You call it stubbornness!"

Liu Yan and Zheng Yunying were completely stunned. Aren't they here to meet their parents? Why did it suddenly become like this?

"You want me to walk for you when you can't walk by yourself? Have you never thought about whether that's what I want?!"

Jiang Chao took a few quick breaths, suddenly smiled again, looked at him coldly and said, "Just watch, I will be more successful than you imagine in the future."

The first meeting with parents ended with Jiang Chao holding Liu Yan's hand and running away.

It was completely dark when the two came out.

The two walked side by side under the street lights, leaving footprints one after another in the snow.

Silent for a long time.

"I am willing to marry you even if I don't get the blessing." Liu Yan suddenly spoke under another street lamp.

Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment, then raised his lips and said, "That's easy to say, let's go, let's get the certificate now."

Perhaps out of rebelliousness towards his parents who didn't agree with this relationship, he suddenly said this.

Liu Yan was stunned for a long time after hearing this, then nodded her chin blankly, and suddenly shook her head quickly.

"But can you stop paying so much attention to the company's affairs?" Her voice was rare and soft, "As long as you have enough money, let's live a good life, okay?"

She had already thought about it. As long as Jiang Chao agreed now, even if it was just a perfunctory talk, she would immediately go with him.

Jiang Chao stood under another streetlight like a snowman. It wasn't until the snow fell all over his head that he moved and slowly shook his head.

Liu Yan's tone became hysterical, "Why? Is this kind of thing so important? I used to have a lot of messy dreams, but now I just want to live my whole life with you."

"This has been a knot in my mind since I can remember." Jiang Chao said firmly.

"You only know how to talk about your heart, can't you understand me a little bit?!" Liu Yan looked relaxed, "I really suddenly don't understand you at all. Why did you become like this as soon as you graduated?" ?”

"You haven't lived like a puppet on strings, you don't understand! Have you experienced how painful it is to be forced to follow the script written by your parents since you were in elementary school? Whether it is an ideal or just being angry with my father, I am now It feels like I’m living for myself! You keep saying that I don’t understand you, but have you really tried to understand me?!”

After listening to Jiang Chao's words, Liu Yan sniffed, looked at him steadily, and her tone suddenly became cold, "You had different girlfriends in the past, and you lived for yourself?"

The two of them didn't speak again until they got in the car. There was no need to say anything more after the quarrel.

They all fully understood that no one could win in this matter.

The car is parked at the gate of the community.

"You go down, I'll go back to the company to sleep." Jiang Chao said in a deep voice, "Go to bed early."

Liu Yan said nothing, closed the door loudly, and got out of the car silently.

He looked at the girl's back quietly, and only stepped on the accelerator after the girl's figure disappeared for a long time without looking back.

In fact, Liu Yan did not leave.

She poked her head out from the corner and saw Jiang Chao's black Mercedes-Benz driving further and further away, and then she squatted on the ground as if she had lost all strength.

The chill suddenly swept over from all directions, biting to the bone.

As soon as I hugged my knees, the tears I had been holding back for a long time suddenly started to fall.

It's very cold in Hangzhou tonight, like saying goodbye to the past year in a strange way.

"I know you're busy."

In the noisy cold wind, there was a faint sound of the girl sobbing.

"But I have no friends anymore..."

......

On the other side, Chen Lu called Jiang Chao, but he didn't get through.

Still didn't get through the second time.

It doesn't seem to be going well...

He whispered worriedly in his heart.

I don’t know if this good boy listened to my instructions well.

Liang Zhirou had been gone for more than an hour, and it was already completely dark.

Through the beam of light from the street lamp downstairs, I could barely see the way the snowflakes were scattered. From a distance, they looked like swarms of flying insects surrounding the street lamp in summer.

Chen Lu looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

He gently pressed his palm against the window, and the originally warm palm suddenly became ice-cold, and soon left a palm print there.

The window had long been blurred by the fog, and with this palm print, he could see more clearly.

When people are in different moods, they experience the same scenery differently.

He felt that he and Jiang Chao were probably just agitated after seeing the snow.

The last snow of the year was particularly untimely.

He suddenly realized that he looked like a lonely old man with his coat on, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

dong dong.

Suddenly the door was knocked twice.

"Who?"

"takeout."

The delivery guy's voice was a little dull, but you could tell he was a girl.

"I didn't buy anything, who ordered it for me?"

Chen Lu opened the door with a puzzled look on his face and suddenly froze there.

He saw Liang Zhirou patting the snow on her body, and there were many snowflakes scattered on her long hair, giving her a different kind of beauty.

A relatively large piece fell on her temples, as if she was wearing a hairpin.

Chen Lu looked a little fascinated, and his heart ached slightly. It was not close to the bus station or subway station. This fool must have walked a long way in the heavy snow.

"Well, Miaomiao suddenly fell ill."

When he was dazed, Liang Zhirou lowered her head, turned away her face and muttered softly.

"She's sick, what are you doing here?" Chen Lu leaned against the door. Even though he knew the answer, he couldn't help but ask with a smirk.

"I don't know. I got off the car and walked, and then I came here..."

After Liang Zhirou held back her laughter, she mustered up the courage to raise her head and glanced at Chen Lu quietly.

The two smiled at each other.
