When the relationship was just confirmed, Su Mu emphasized to Ling Feng more than once that he should try not to disclose their affairs. Although he had a girlfriend and began to show affection in the circle of friends or space, Ling Feng rarely took the initiative to do it before, and sometimes his predecessors asked him to post more, but he was still a little reluctant. It stands to reason that he should feel relaxed if he is not asked, but somehow, when he heard Su Mu specifically mention this matter to him, he actually felt a little unhappy. In the case that Su Mu didn't explain the reason, he felt that Su Mu did this because he didn't want to disclose the relationship between the two of them and leave a way out for himself, or maybe he felt that being with a man younger than himself would lose her face and make her embarrassed to announce it. Thinking of this, Ling Feng felt that his self-esteem had been greatly hit.

But then Su Mu explained to him, saying that it was because she didn't want his friends to know that he was so willful and found someone so old than him. She is worried that if others find out, his classmates will point fingers at him behind his back, affecting his normal life.

Ling Feng didn't think anything about this, because he only cared about Su Mu's thoughts, and he didn't care what others thought of the two of them. However, the situation that Su Mu said was not completely impossible, so in order not to make Su Mu feel self-blamed, although he felt a little wronged, he was still obedient and did not make any public statement.

At that time, when this decision was made, the two of them were acceptable, but if the two of them knew that things would develop in that direction in the future, at this time, Su Mu would definitely not put forward such conditions, and Ling Feng would not completely follow Su Mu's ideas.

Putting this aside, what made Ling Feng feel a little relieved was that although his roommates had been discussing things related to Su Mu, they hadn't shown any prejudice against Su Mu's age, and they didn't particularly care about the age difference between the two of them as Su Mu was worried. And on the contrary, they felt that it was really not easy for these two people to be together, so they tried their best to match the two of them, and neither of them expressed even half a word of disagreement.

Ling Feng sat on the side and listened to their discussion, although the final result was not satisfactory, he still felt that he should tell Su Mu all the things that were happening now, and let her know that not everyone cared so much about age. Maybe this will allow her to settle down and be his girlfriend without any self-blame.

Realizing this, what would happen at night, Ling Feng felt as if it didn't matter that much. He was now only thinking about the fact that when he called at night, he would be able to explain to Su Mu the reason why he was angry during the day. If he could, he hoped to follow this point and inquire more about the things that Su Mu had experienced before.

It wasn't for anything else, it was just that Ling Feng hoped that he could get to know Su Mu more. In this way, he would also know how to treat Su Mu better, know what she wanted, and then better satisfy her thoughts.

He thinks that's what a boyfriend should do.

Finally managed to get Su Mu off work, and Ling Feng called as promised. However, because Su Mu's body was still not very comfortable, the two of them didn't talk much along the way. When he got home, Su Mu made himself a pot of Pu'er tea, and when he felt better after drinking half a cup, Ling Feng cautiously mentioned the afternoon's affairs.

He didn't want this attitude either, and before that, he had been brewing all afternoon to make his voice sound angry. But when he heard Su Mu's tired but forced voice to be fine, his whole heart softened, and he couldn't pretend anymore. He began to regret that he had chosen to have an awkward relationship with Su Mu when he needed his comfort, and even wanted to give up his initial insistence for a while, and put this matter back until Su Mu was busy for a while, and then talk to her. But he didn't want the two of them to be worried about this matter all the time, so he could only ask the question head-on.

Su Mu had actually already made a plan, if Ling Feng chased after this matter, she would have a good talk with him, tell him all her problems, and then hope that he could give herself some time to adapt to the relationship between the two of them. So when Ling Feng brought the question out, she didn't hesitate at all, and truthfully expressed these thoughts in her heart.

This is the first time she has truly expressed her inner thoughts with her boyfriend, and she has never told anyone what she thinks and what she wants in the past, so she always wrongs herself. This time, after she said everything she wanted to say, she suddenly felt an unprecedented lightness, even if Ling Feng was unwilling in the end, she felt that she could be happy for a long time because of this change.

And Ling Feng did not disappoint Su Mu, when he seriously listened to all of Su Mu's demands, he immediately expressed his attitude to Su Mu very seriously.

"I can accept that you want time to get used to it, but, wife, I also hope you can understand that although I am young, I can also take care of you, I really like you, whether you believe it or not, I really want to take care of you, protect you, and want to be your dependence. Maybe because I don't have much experience in love, there are many things that I can't do well, but I'll learn slowly. I will definitely try to take care of you, so can you give me a chance to trust me once and try to rely on me as yours. ”

By the time Ling Feng finished saying these words, Su Mu had already burst into tears. Although Ling Feng's words didn't sound so beautiful, every word and sentence he said deeply touched Su Mu's heart. Because these were all things that Su Mu had always wanted but didn't dare to want, no one had ever understood her thoughts so clearly like him, and for a moment she even felt that even if Ling Feng couldn't do these things later, having his words was enough for her to hold out until he chose to leave her.

Ling Feng on the other end of the phone had been waiting for Su Mu's response, but he hadn't heard any sound. When he realized that it was Su Mu who turned on the mute, he guessed that Su Mu should be afraid that he would hear her crying, so he did this. He suddenly felt a little distressed, so he added softly:

"I won't let you cry anymore, but I'll wipe all your tears clean for you. ”
