Robben seemed to have made up his mind to bring Le Yao and I together, but the reason he gave was too far-fetched. He actually wanted to get some positive energy from Le Yao and me that could break the deadlock.

We are indeed all stuck in an unsatisfactory relationship deadlock, and we need someone to set an example, but I never thought that I would be the one to set an example, because I still think of Jian Wei from time to time, even in my dreams, and then become passive and obsessed...

It was at this time that I finally turned around and looked at Le Yao who had been sitting next to me. Her appearance was no less beautiful than Jian Wei's, and her personality was more approachable. However, I still did not have the urge to possess her. I still stubbornly felt that the years that Jian Wei and I had been together could never be replaced by anyone.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

I came to my senses and found that Le Yao was also looking at me...

During my silence, Le Yao continued, "Why is there no light in your eyes?... Through your eyes, I seem to see your lifeless heart."

I smiled, and then said, "To be honest, Robben just sent me a message... He wanted to bring us together, so even though Suzhou is so big, we were able to meet in such a small porridge shop."

“Hahahaha… Having just bankrupted the funeral industry, he now wants to enter the marriage matchmaking industry… He’s really a genius. Without even making a sound, he arranges someone’s life!”

"You want to say he's a joke, right? It's not popular for parents to arrange marriages anymore, but he still wants to arrange a person's life."

After saying that, I also laughed out loud. Our laughter, along with the sound of wind and rain, drifted to the most secret corner of the street. Under the light, it seemed to be in full view, but it was instantly annihilated into dust, attached to the somewhat cold air, and was suddenly swallowed up by the night.

Yes, on such a deep night, everything seemed so small and insignificant; therefore, Robben's matchmaking seemed even more like a joke.

……

“Zhaoyang, although we always get along with each other in a tit-for-tat way... but in my heart... I don’t know how to describe it, it’s as if it was destined... When I felt that life was boring, you suddenly appeared in my life and gave me hope to continue living... Don’t think I am fragile. If you knew my experience, you would understand... Before I met you, I always had a dream. I dreamed that I lived in a tomb. The people standing outside were all people I knew and were closely related to me, but their expressions were surprisingly consistent. They all looked at me indifferently... I was getting more and more suffocated and wanted to leave this damn place more and more, but their eyes became even colder... I was almost crushed to death by betrayal and abandonment... Until you appeared, holding a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and finally cut a bloody path and took me away from that damn place... So, I really have a lot to say to you and want to do a lot of things for you... But I don’t know what’s wrong, what I want to say and what I want to do are not what you really want in your heart..."

After saying this, Le Yao stopped looking at me...

……

For the first time, I realized that people's feelings of powerlessness are so similar; I also wanted to say these words to Jane Wei. I really could do a lot for her, even give up everything I have, but now I have lost even the chance to say a word to her.

My life was all planned by her. When these plans could not be realized because of the breakup, I felt like I had entered a "grave" without a tombstone. I was surrounded by people who looked down on me. It seemed that I could no longer be understood and accepted by the world. As a result, I became more and more lonely...

The only difference between me and Le Yao is that she wanted to escape, but I gradually got used to this loneliness.

It seems like I don't need love anymore.

Unless, Jane Wei comes back to me.

……

"Zhaoyang, I know... what you really want is to reconcile with Jian Wei... but this is something I will never be able to do in my lifetime. It's like trying to draw water with a bamboo basket, waiting for the sea to dry up and the rocks to crumble with the life of a mayfly... so, I can only owe you this..."

"What do you mean by owe me? I don't think I've done anything for you."

"Xu Xian only used a peach to save the little white snake from the snake catcher...but the little white snake missed him for a thousand years...a thousand years later, she found him, became his wife, and gave birth to his children...to Xu Xian, it was just a peach, but to the little white snake, it was a chance to be reborn..."

After a short pause, Le Yao said jokingly, "If you really can't find a wife in the future and become a bachelor... I will give birth to a child for you... That way, we won't owe each other anything."

I looked at Le Yao, but I couldn't describe my feelings at this moment.

"Do you like boys or girls?"

“Is this still a choice?”

"If it's not the gender you like, then keep having children until you are satisfied."

I finally laughed: "It's like a snake laying eggs, how can it be that easy... To be honest, my mother only gave birth to me, and I almost went through the gates of hell."

"I'm not afraid. If I really die while giving birth, I'll just take it as my fate."

"Stop being such a jinx... this can't possibly happen."

Le Yao was so quiet after being scolded by me. She just held her chin up, looking at the Pingjiang River in front of her and the willow trees that had not yet sprouted branches. Suddenly, she smiled and said to me, "There are so many wonderful things in the world. If one day they happen to us... do you think I will really bear a child for you?"

I was silent for a long while, and finally replied: "If they sit together, fertilization can be completed... then it is not completely ruled out."

"Tsk, you really think you can remain calm!"

After that, Le Yao put her hand on my shoulder and said, "I suddenly feel like drinking. Let's go to the bar and have a drink..."

"I'm a person who never needs a reason to drink... As long as the bar is open... If you say you want to drink, then I'll really drink."

"How can there be a bar that closes at 12 o'clock... I don't like to make excuses when I drink, and I don't like to set a time... Let's find a bar that's open all night..." After a short pause, she asked me, "Hey, drunkard... You've been to so many bars... Are there any bars in Suzhou that are open all night?"

I thought about it and replied, "There used to be a whiskey bar that was open all night... but it closed down two months ago... If you want to drink all night, you can only find a hotel and book a room to drink..."
