77

On the first day of the New Year in 1985, a thin ray of sunlight shone through the window onto the small pile on the bed. Jiang Yuechu poked his head out of the quilt and squinted his sleepy eyes to look out the window. The bright sunlight was reflected by the white snow all over the world, making it even more dazzling.

The new year brings everything new!

This is a good sign!

She subconsciously looked to the other side of the bed. There was no one there. She reached out and touched the quilt. It was cold. It seemed that the person had gotten up very early.

She was lying on the bed, thinking about what happened last night. For the first time, she faced her and Jiang Yannan's future!

Every time I thought about it before, I always felt that those things were still very far away, but in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yannan is about to graduate.

She remembered that she had promised Jiang Yannan that they would get married as soon as he graduated. But when the time came, she found that there were too many problems that could not be solved.

In her previous life, she and Jiang Yannan stayed in Nancheng together, so she had never thought about what to do when the two of them were separated from each other.

Jiang Yannan graduated from a prestigious university and his future was bright, so it was impossible for him to stay in this small town with her.

In his previous life, he was very successful in Nancheng, and was valued by the leaders. He became an indispensable figure in their unit! Most of the new buildings in Nancheng were designed with his participation. He truly became a guest of honor in the upper circles of Nancheng!

In this life, he didn't stay in Nancheng, but chose to go to Jing City? It was more than a thousand kilometers away from here, and it would take more than thirty hours by train, a whole day and night!

However, she had an instinctive aversion to Nancheng and didn't want to live there anymore!

These realistic problems came upon her and made her unable to breathe!

When Jiang Yannan came up and called her to go downstairs to eat, Jiang Yuechu still looked listless and dull.

"What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Jiang Yannan looked at her tired little face and asked as he handed the baking clothes to her.

"fine……"

Jiang Yuechu was a little absent-minded, "What time is it?"

"It's nine o'clock, you lazy pig!" Jiang Yannan reached out and pinched her cheek, his eyes full of smiles.

Jiang Yuechu still looked absent-minded until he sat down at the dining table.

Jiang Yannan pursed his lips and spoke softly: "Yue'er, is there something wrong with you?..."

Jiang Yuechu looked up at him, feeling a little hesitant and a little conflicted.

"Ayan... last night you said you wanted to go to Beijing after graduation..."

"Yue'er, I'm sorry, I didn't mean not to discuss it with you. I made this decision at the last minute..." Jiang Yannan thought she was unhappy about this matter and hurried to explain.

"Haven't you ever thought about this question before? Have you ever thought about staying in Nancheng?" Jiang Yuechu looked straight into his eyes, wanting to know what he really thought.

"I've thought about it..." Jiang Yannan's voice slowed down, as if he was considering how to express his thoughts.

"I always feel that you don't like the city of South City. I don't know if it's my illusion. But, in the past three years, except for the time you sent me there at the beginning of the school year, you never went there again. I just have a very strong feeling that you hate that city, so I have never considered staying in South City..."

"I've considered several nearby cities before. They're not too far from home and convenient for coming back. But... I haven't found a suitable job. As for Beijing, I made a last-minute decision last night..."

"You never considered going to Beijing before. Why did you suddenly decide to go there last night?" Jiang Yuechu scooped a spoonful of porridge into her mouth, but there were too many things in her mind and she couldn't eat anything.

This time Jiang Yannan was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "You said last night that you would go to Beijing to develop in the future, so I thought I could go there first and wait for you there!..."

Jiang Yuechu: ...

She didn't know whether to be angry or happy? Obviously, every decision he made was for her, but why was she so angry? !

She put down the spoon in her hand, sat up straight, looked at the man in front of her intently, and her tone was more serious than ever before.

"I'm a very selfish person. Every decision I make is based on my own perspective. Whether it's dropping out of school or opening a store, I'm not doing it for you. So...if you want to go, then I'll fully support you, and I'll try my best to be by your side. But, if you want to go for me, then really, there's no need..."

Maybe you think I am ungrateful, but your self-sacrifice makes me feel depressed. What I want is mutual respect and trust, not your blind concession and sacrifice. "

Jiang Yuechu felt a little uncomfortable. What did she get in return for this self-righteous compromise? She had experienced too much in her previous life! She gave everything, but it just pushed people further away!

In this life, it was him who gave up everything for her! Would the future be the same as before?

"Yue'er... this is not a sacrifice..." When Jiang Yannan heard her words, he felt an indescribable panic in his heart.

"Maybe you don't think it's a sacrifice now, but if one day in the future you don't live a happy life in Beijing, will you regret it, will you feel resentment... because it's all because of me!" Jiang Yuechu's voice became calmer and calmer.

"Jiang Yannan, I think... we should wait two years before getting married. This might be better for both of us! At least in these two years, you don't have to consider my feelings. Do what you want to do according to your true thoughts. Don't be hesitant because of me..."

Jiang Yannan was stunned for a moment, staring at the girl in front of him with an expression of disbelief, as if he didn't know her.

"You don't want to get married? ...Are you serious?"

"It will only be two years later. When your job is stable, we will make plans." Jiang Yuechu saw that his face was not very good and tried her best to explain to him.

"Plan? What plan? Are you going to break off the engagement with me in two years and marry someone else? Or are you going to find a live-in son-in-law to help you take care of things?"

Jiang Yannan seemed to have lost his energy and spirit. He leaned dejectedly against the back of his chair with his brows drooping. His expression could not be seen clearly, but his voice became distant and cold, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in it.

"Jiang Yuechu, do you have a heart or not?..."

The man stood up and looked down at her, a cold chill emanating from his body. After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at her and walked straight out the door.

"Ayan...where are you going..." Jiang Yuechu's voice was still echoing in the house, but the man's figure had already disappeared at the door.

She leaned her elbows on the dining table, covered her face with her hands, and felt extremely uncomfortable.

She wants to find a balance so that they can both live according to their own wishes, instead of sacrificing one to fulfill the other. Why is it so difficult???

She had experienced this kind of suffering once in her previous life, and she didn't want Jiang Yannan to experience it again in this life. She just wanted to get married two years later, and didn't say she wouldn't marry him, but she didn't expect his reaction to be so big.
