The grandfather clock in the living room struck three times, and the hour hand pointed to ten.

Gong He was cooking glutinous rice balls in the kitchen, and You Lian was sitting alone in the dining room waiting.

He purposely didn't ask the nanny to make supper, but let Gong He, the fiancé who talked about the marriage contract, do it himself.But he didn't make things too difficult for Gong He, and after looking at the refrigerator, he just asked him to cook the glutinous rice balls.

You Lian had never seen Gong He go to the kitchen, but seeing how he handled the kitchen utensils with ease, he probably knew how to cook a little.

"Are you ready?" You Lian asked for the third time.

Gong He responded, "Soon."

You Lian stretched out her head and glanced, a little curious about how the glutinous rice balls were cooked.

Although You Lian doesn't know how to cook, he also knows that glutinous rice balls are like quick-frozen dumplings. Just pour them into the water and cook for about 10 minutes. But now it's been more than 20 minutes. good?

He couldn't sit still, put down his phone and planned to go to the kitchen to have a look.

As soon as he stood up, Gong He came out with a bowl in his hand.

Seeing You Lian standing, Gong He asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

You Lian withdrew his steps: "It's okay." He sat down again.

Gong He carefully put the bowl in front of You Lian, the glutinous rice balls were floating in the bowl, round and soft, with a light but sweet scent of osmanthus.After putting the bowl away, You Lian's slender fingers pulled away from the bottom of the bowl, and You Lian caught a glimpse of the sudden redness on Gong He's fingertips.

"You..." There was a pause, and what was to be said later was swallowed back.

Facing Shang Gonghe's gaze, You Lian subconsciously looked down at the bowl in front of him, "Is this the only bowl? You don't want to eat it?"

Gong He said lightly: "Well, I'm not hungry."

You Lian picked up the spoon and made a low sound.

"Try to see if it's sweet or not. If it's not sweet, add some honey." After speaking, Gong He sat down at the other end of the table, facing You Lian.He casually put his hands on the table, his fingers curled up, and the red on them was covered by his palms.

You Lian lowered her head and took a sip of the soup as she said: "It's very sweet."

"It is too sweet?"

You Lian shook her head: "No, this is just right."

Gong He hummed: "As long as you like it."

The restaurant was so quiet that one could clearly hear the sound of water dripping from the spoon when scooping up the glutinous rice balls.

You Lian ate two glutinous rice balls, both of which were filled with sweet and greasy sesame seeds and peanuts. The fillings were finely chopped, mixed with dense brown sugar and melted on the tip of the tongue, and the sweet taste slid down the esophagus into the stomach.

You Lian loves sweets very much, but this time he only ate two and he felt so tired. There seemed to be something swollen in his stomach, and he felt uncomfortable eating anything.

He put down the spoon.

As soon as the spoon was put down, Gong He asked one after another: "Is it enough to eat two?"

You Lian nodded: "Yes."

Gong He looked at You Lian, and asked again: "Really?"

This time You Lian didn't answer, but leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair.

Not only does he feel bloated in his stomach now, but also something in his chest is bloated, and it is getting more and more bloated, as if his trachea is going to be blocked together, preventing him from breathing.

You Lian took a deep breath and finally felt a bit more comfortable.

He lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the remaining six glutinous rice balls in the bowl. When he spoke, his voice was not as clear and lively as before, but a little more low-pitched: "I...have always wanted to ask you a question."

"what is the problem?"

You Lian licked her dry lips: "For you... marriage is very important, isn't it?"

The moment I asked, my heart lightened up, but soon tightened up again.You Lian took a deep breath indiscriminately, trying to look calm and calm.

The pitch-black eyes fell on You Lian's face, Gong He was silent for a moment, and said, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I wanted to know, so I asked."

You Lian closed her eyes slightly, without looking at Gong He, "Just say yes or no."

Gong He thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes."

"Then, is the marriage contract important to you, or the object of the marriage contract?"

The hand hanging under the table was tightly clenched, but the expression on You Lian's face was still calm, "Can this marriage partner be changed to anyone?"

Gong He frowned.

You Lian continued to say: "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as he has a marriage contract with you, you will treat him well, be responsible for him, give him extra lessons, cook him supper, buy him gifts, and make him happy ..."

The chest became more swollen, and he had already started to squeeze his heart, "Even if you don't like it, you can still marry him, sleep with him, follow him, care about him, love him, right?"

Gong He moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed them again.

He didn't say anything, but looked at You Lian more sharply, observing his every move, but this time, this sharpness contained a little bit of surprise that things were out of control.

"why do not you talk?"

You Lian raised her eyes and glanced at Gong He, then she suddenly pulled her lips and smiled, "If you don't say it, then I'll say it, I've held back a lot of words, so I might as well tell you all at once this time."

You Lian lowered her eyes again, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

He looked at the round glutinous rice balls in the bowl and said, "Have you ever imagined how we will be married in the future?"

Gong He moved his hand on the table.

"I imagined."

You Lian said to himself, "But after thinking about it, the last thing that came to my mind was You Zhengxun and Zhan Yajie. They also had an engagement, and they got married because of the engagement."

"You Zhengxun is also very good to Zhan Yajie. He gives her what she wants. He takes her to various banquets. They are always in pairs. Others say that they are a model couple. I think they are really good. Zhan Yajie is sick. You Zhengxun will stay at home and guard her, and You Zhengxun will work too late, and Zhan Yajie will definitely make him a midnight snack, and will also make one for me by the way."

"They would hold hands for a walk, comb each other's hair and put on coats. They looked very close. But You Zhengxun still raised several Omegas outside, and even gave birth to a few illegitimate children, but Zhan Yajie didn't seem to be angry at all. Every time I call her mother she smiles very nicely."

After a pause, You Lian looked at Gong He and asked, "Did you say they love each other?"

Without waiting for Gong He to answer, he said, "I have never understood, and I can't figure out this strange relationship, but now I almost understand that being nice to someone doesn't necessarily come out of liking, there can be There are many other reasons. Such as money, status, status, etc., all kinds of reasons—"

"Gong He." You Lian suddenly called Gong He's name.

Gong He's lips were straight, and his eyes were as deep as ink: "Huh?"

"Will you like me?"

You Lian raised her eyes, and her amber eyes looked straight at Gong He, "It doesn't matter if you don't like it now, will you like it in the future?" As she said, the hand hanging by her side was clenched even tighter, You Lian only felt that her heart was being squeezed by that The swollen thing was compressed into a small ball, and it was almost impossible to jump.

The Adam's apple rolled, and Gong He looked at You Lian with serious eyes.

It is obvious that he is the one standing on the strong side, but at this moment, Gong He somehow feels that he is on the verge of being judged or even discarded.

And the person who judged him was You Lian, who had always been like a flower in a greenhouse in his eyes and was held in his palm.

Things loomed out of control and cracks in confidence began to appear.

Gong He frowned, not knowing what went wrong, why You Lian showed a look of leaving him and abandoning him before she got what he wanted.

why?

He thinks he knows You Lian and knows what kind of person You Lian is - You Lian always dislikes when he gets it, and misses it when he doesn't get it.This has also been proved by past events.

So no matter how much you like it in your heart, you must never say it out loud.

You have to wait for You Lian to really like her before you can tell him all your love.

Because he has already been rejected once, and he doesn't want to feel it again.

Moreover, Gong He thinks that he has done a good job this time. Not only did he hang You Lian, but he also pulled You Lian into his territory. The time is long, and he will have countless opportunities to slowly swallow You Lian into his stomach. ,make it their own.

But after a few days, You Lian seemed to be leaving her.

why?

Was being with him so unbearable?Or did someone approach You Lian and tell him something?

Gong He's mind was spinning quickly, but it didn't show on his face.

"Will it be?" You Lian looked at Gong He and asked again.

Gong He nodded this time and said, "Yes."

The feeling of being crushed disappeared in an instant, and You Lian smiled: "From now on, don't be nice to me because of the marriage contract, but only because you like me, okay?"

Gong He pursed his thin lips slightly: "Okay."

He seemed to see that there was a balance in front of him that was about to completely tip over to You Lian's side. This long-lost passivity and loss of control made him feel uncomfortable.After thinking for a while, he added, "I don't know why you suddenly asked me if I would like you. Isn't the answer obvious? Of course I will, after all we will be together for the rest of our lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, he keenly noticed that the light in You Lian's eyes seemed to dim again.

Immediately, Gong He became more anxious and confused.

——What is wrong? !

After a while, You Lian exhaled forcefully: "That's okay."

He nodded, "That's it."

Gong He frowned.

——How is this?

"Anyway, don't mention marriage again in the future."

You Lian smiled, and looked at Gong He calmly, "I like you, so I hope you can like me, even if you don't have a marriage contract, can you like me that way?"

"Yes." Gong He answered quickly.

He looks calm, but his heart is completely confused.

Do you still like it even if you don't have a marriage contract?

This is obviously paving the way for the future exposure of Alpha's identity and the dissolution of the engagement.

But what if he knows?

He is now completely passive.

"Okay, then I have nothing more to say."

You Lian bent her eyes, and pointed upstairs briskly, "I'll go back to my room to take a shower, and I'll go to your place to do my homework later."

"Okay." Gong He nodded, his eyes still on You Lian.

You Lian stood up and walked upstairs, the curve of her lips disappeared when she turned her head.

He opened his eyes vigorously, suppressed the wetness back into his eye sockets, then walked up the stairs steadily, until the moment he entered the room and closed the door, he sat down on the ground as if exhausted.

He stretched out his hand to cover his face, and the exposed nose turned red immediately.

He squeezed his lips tightly, without crying, took out the phone from his pocket with the other hand, opened the address book and flipped through it for a long time, and finally put the phone back in his pocket.

Then he sat up all at once, resisting the heat in his eyes and began to pack his things.

You Lian likes to read comics, and often sees the author use dragon spit beads to describe children born in the expectation and love of their parents.

He used to think that he was the dragon spitting bead described in the book, so he was extraordinarily proud, proud, and proud, until his birth mother appeared when he was 13 years old, and his dragon spitting bead was thrown to the ground hard for the first time, and cracks appeared.

He listened to Zhan Yajie's words even more, and clinged to his two elder brothers even more, but in the end he was thrown down hard again.

The cracks on the beads are densely packed and completely lost the luster of the past.

Just one more step and it will be completely shattered.

You Lian thinks that the scariest thing is to get something and then lose it. If you never get something, it won't be so painful.

And isn't it said that everyone is responsible for their actions?They raised themselves up like this, but how can they just let go?

You Zhengxun only has the company and career in his eyes.

Zhan Yajie only had her two sons in her eyes.

Weng Tian only has You Zhengxun's legacy in her eyes.

You Can belongs to Xiang Zheng.

What about him?

He thought he still had Gong He, but it turned out that Gong He didn't want him either.

Why didn't the people he valued and liked didn't have him in their hearts?

You Lian could see how reluctant Gong He's answer was just now, as if liking herself was such a difficult and painful thing.

The beads are thoroughly crushed and ground into powder.

Forget it, don't take yourself too seriously.

If someone treasures it, it is only a pearl; if no one treasures it, it is at most a vase.

You Lian closed the suitcase and zipped it up.

Without raising his head, he went to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water, then raised his head, suppressing all the grievances and desire to cry in his heart.

After a while, he suddenly clenched his fists and showed a vigorous smile to himself in the mirror: "Come on, Lianlian Oppa! Everything is OK! It doesn't matter! From now on, we will be beautiful alone!"

He clenched his fist with the other hand, then nodded, "Okay! I will walk independently in the future! I am beautiful alone!"

After finishing speaking, You Lian breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help laughing, and smiled and cursed an idiot while wiping her face.

You Lian felt a little more comfortable after this communication, he walked out of the bathroom, pulled the suitcase to the door, did not rush to open the door, but first listened to the movement outside.

It was very quiet outside, Gonghe should have returned to the room by this point.

So You Lian opened the door, ready to get out of Gonghe's world with her own belongings.

Before that, he thought of being cruel and dragging Gong He into the quagmire.

It's funny to think about it, what's your rank?What rank is Gonghe?Why did he think he could hold Gong He back?

Save it.

Fortunately, there weren't many things, so it wasn't too heavy to carry, but You Lian still felt strenuous, feeling that his strength had become weaker.But fortunately, they took the things downstairs smoothly and without making any big noises.

There was no one downstairs, You Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

He carried the suitcase and walked towards the door, but within two steps, he was stopped by a suspicious voice——

"You Lian, where are you going?"

"Are you going?"

You Lian suddenly turned back to look at the place where the sound came from, and saw Gong He standing at the door of the kitchen, holding a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, in which was a whole glutinous rice ball.

You Lian was stunned.

Gong He is eating glutinous rice balls?Didn't he say he wasn't hungry?

When You Lian was in a daze, Gong He strode over.

He frowned tightly, his face lost the calmness before, and his voice was no longer calm.

Gong He grabbed You Lian's arm: "You want to leave?!"

The expression and voice were completely out of control, and the shock and astonishment were clearly written on his face.

The strength in the hand also lost its level, pinching You Lian's wrist until it hurt.

You Lian was confused by Gong He's actions, he looked at Gong He and blinked, and before he could speak, he heard Gong He asked hurriedly——

"Didn't you say you like me? If you like me, why do you want to leave? Are you lying to me?"

You Lian quickly replied: "Of course I didn't lie to you!"

"Then where are you going with your luggage?!"

Of course it is beautiful to go alone.

You Lian stared blankly at Gong He, not knowing why he was so angry for no reason.After thinking about it, he said, "You don't like me, then I—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp voice.

Gong He stared at You Lian: "When did I say I don't like you?"

You Lian was really confused: "..."

Haven't you said it over and over again?Why did he suddenly act out amnesia?He turned his dull mind and said, "Could it be that you still like me?"

Gong He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The veins on his forehead twitched, he opened his eyes, sighed suddenly, then looked at You Lian, and hummed.

While answering, Gong He seemed to see that all his weight had disappeared, and the balance had completely tilted towards You Lian.

He thought, maybe from the very beginning, the balance was in You Lian's hands.

He never had any weight either.
