Before he could sit down, Xie Lian made some tea and brought it over, holding a box of green dumplings in her hand.
Chi Yan looked around and didn't see Xie's mother: "Auntie isn't here?"
Xie Lian smiled. She was obviously getting better than the previous two days, with no red eyes or pale face.
"No, mom went to the hospital to take care of dad." Although there are caregivers, sometimes the company of family members is obviously more important than the caregivers.
Chi Yan asked, "Why don't you go?"
"I'm afraid you'll find me and I won't be here," she said.
Only then did Chi Yan realize that he came directly without calling Xie Lian today. He has always been used to this, and it was like this when he came to see Xie Lian in the past.
Inevitably, Mr. Chi's words came back to his mind. He changed the topic, picked up the information, and put it on the table.
"Look, you can do all of these. Choose the one you like." Chi Yan picked up the tea and pursed his thin lips.
Xie Lian took the information, scanned it roughly, raised her head and asked him seriously and gently: "Which one do you think is better?"
"I have screened them all, and they are all good." Chi Yan looked away and did not look at her, it is a rare day that the momentum has weakened.
Xie Lian looked at him with a troubled face: "Chi Yan, please help me choose one. The one you choose must be the most suitable for me. You know I am most afraid of making this choice."
This Chi Yan knew that in the past when the choice was difficult, he always gave her the final say on what to do.
He looked at some information written in black and white, and suddenly he was not satisfied with any of it. Taking the information from Xie Lian's hand, he had no expression on his face. Xie Lian bit his lip and said in a panic: "Chi Yan, don't be angry, I will choose one."
"No need to choose, there is no one here. Okay." Chi Yan gave up the plan of letting her go to work.
She is too soft-tempered and too opinionated.
"I'll give you a few shops, and you can rely on the shops to collect rent." He didn't want Xie Lian to live a life of looking at other people's faces, so he might as well just live like this, just have enough food and clothing.
He looked at her eyes as she looked at him, as clear as water and as gentle as water, as if it could make people indulge in it.
By some strange coincidence, he asked, "Xie Lian, have you ever liked me before?"
As soon as the words came out, his expression changed, his brows wrinkled, and his whole body tensed up. He saw Xie Lian's shocked look after hearing this. He stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
When he walked to the door, he felt his clothes being pulled behind him. He looked back and saw the woman's somewhat sad expression.
"I like it, Chi Yan, don't hate me." She said.
Chi Yan didn't know how he got out. Old Chen had already asked where he was going before Chi Yan came back to his senses, stared out the window, glanced upward at the foreign-style building, and said: "Go home. "
Thank you for liking him, but he didn't know it.
Now, I know it.
Then what?
He doesn't know anymore.
The pure love was like a slap on his face. Xie Lian had hidden it so well in those years, but he didn't notice it at all.
Then why didn't she tell him? And marrying so hastily.
Huge questions hung in my mind, but no one answered them.

In the noisy bar, the dazzling lights are still swaying, and in the middle of the dance floor, men and women are swinging their bodies.
"It's rare that today, Chi Yan, you actually asked us to go out for a drink. I thought you would be busy with work these days." The speaker was Meng Neng, who raised his glass and took a sip.
There were four people sitting on the booth. They were all friends who played well with Chi Yan in the past.
"I have a question for you. My friend asked me. I have no experience, so I'll ask you." He reached for the wine and didn't see the expressions of the remaining three people.
Why would Chi Yan's friends come to them to ask questions? Strange.
"Ang, tell me." Everyone straightened their expressions and wanted to see what kind of problem it was, which stumped Chi Yan.
Chi Yan: "He found out that she had liked him since he was a child..."
As soon as he said the beginning, everyone felt that something was wrong. Emotional issues, could they be friends out of nowhere...?
