In fact, for this meeting, Xu Xincheng was not looking forward to it, but apprehensive.

About a month ago, on the first day of the school's winter vacation, her mother came from Shenzhen to pick her up, and Bai Xiuli said that her mother wanted to invite him to lunch and talk to him, and Xu Xincheng readily agreed.

During the dinner, her mother asked him many questions, especially about the family situation, the work of his parents, etc., and he answered them truthfully.

He was aware that the expression on her mother's face had gradually changed from joy and politeness at first to displeasure and coldness.

---------

At 11:11, Xu Xincheng came to the door of the restaurant to wait, he felt excited, excited, excited, about to see Xiuli, who had been separated for nearly a month.

In the past two days, he has spent nearly thirty hours copying word by word, writing every word neatly and beautifully, this book of poems can be said to condense all his thoughts, especially the last poem, the poem he only wrote this morning......

He imagined over and over again, imagining the joy on Bai Xiuli's face when she saw him again, imagining the surprise on her face when she saw this book of poems, imagining the happiness on her face when she read the ninety-nine poems, imagining the last poem when she saw it......

Those imaginations are like happy pebbles one after another, they happily jump into his heart, into the slowly flowing river of love in his heart, stirring up ripples of happiness one after another.

In the biting cold wind of winter, Xu Xincheng waited eagerly, he looked at the sky, and began to be a little anxious, because the sky was gloomy at the moment, the dark clouds were gathering, and the sky was getting darker and darker.

He hoped that they would arrive before the rainstorm came, otherwise the road would be dangerous.

At 11:44, their car finally arrived, a luxury medium-sized RV with a dual license plate of Guangdong and Hong Kong, this car was a birthday gift from the Hong Kong tycoon to her mother, and he also hired a full-time male driver and a personal female assistant with a high salary.

The female assistant first got out of the passenger seat and stood respectfully by the door, the automatic door slowly opened, and the two got out of the car.

Bai Xiuli was dressed in dark gray high-end fashion, and when she first saw him, her face did not have the joy he imagined when they were reunited, but a kind of sadness, while her mother was indifferent.

The sad look gave him a very bad feeling at once, and the coldness and chill on her mother's face made his heart shiver even more. The ripples of happiness in his heart immediately stopped rippling, and the river in his heart seemed to be frozen by this sudden chill.

However, Xu Xincheng still didn't want to think badly, he told himself that Xiuli and her mother should have such looks because they were tired from the journey or unwell.

The three of them entered the guest room, Bai Xiuli sat beside her mother, bowed her head and said nothing, the sadness on her face just now turned into amazement.

As soon as Xu Xincheng took his seat, her mother said to him very seriously: "Xincheng, today, I want to discuss something with you. ”

"Oh. He already knew that the situation was very bad, his voice was trembling, and his hands and feet were shaking. But even at this point, he hoped things wouldn't turn out for the worst.

"I'm not going to beat around the bush, I don't think you and my daughter are suitable. ”

"Auntie, I ......"

"Xincheng, you are indeed very good, I saw this the last time we met. But in this world, it is not enough to be excellent, it is far from enough. ”

Xu Xincheng felt that the passage just now was like a biting cold wind blowing outside, and this cold wind blew into his heart at once, making his heart half cold in an instant, and he hurriedly said: "Auntie, I really love beauty! Please believe me." I will love her for the rest of my life and will always love her!"

She said coldly: "I know, I believe in you, but in this world, love alone is not enough, it is far from enough." I have a very profound experience of this and a very painful lesson. ”

She stopped, rolled her Hua Fei-style eyes in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and the chill on her face and the chill in her tone increased a few points, "Besides, Xiuli is so beautiful and so good, there are too many people who like her and love her, no matter how you rank it, you can't be ranked." ”

"Auntie, I ......"

Bai Xiuli still lowered her head, and at this time, she bit her lip lightly and slowly closed her eyes.

At this moment, how much Xu Xincheng hoped that she could raise her head to look at him and give him an encouraging look, even if it was only a little encouragement, then he would definitely persevere and fight.

However, she never raised her head, and he suddenly felt his heart cold.

Her mother raised her voice and said sharply, "My daughter is a beautiful lady of golden branches and jade leaves, and only young talents full of gold and jade can be worthy of her." People must be self-aware, you better quickly cut off unrealistic thoughts, don't delay beauty, if you really love her, then don't hurt her. ”

Xu Xincheng has never been a person who gives up lightly, he originally wanted to try to persuade her, but after being interrupted by her sharply, and hearing the words just now, he was really speechless, although it was cruel, but he had to admit that what she said made sense.

He had been holding back, tears rolling in his eyes, but at this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore, he closed his eyes and let the two lines of tears flow down his face.

He knows that the matter has come to this, no matter how hard he persists, it is completely useless, it is impossible for him to change the reality in front of him, at this moment he can only accept the reality, although this cruel reality makes him feel like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, but he can only accept it.

After a long while, he opened his eyes, and through the tears that filled them, he said calmly, "Auntie, I understand. I know. ”

Xu Xincheng paused, tried his best to adjust his emotions, and said to Bai Xiuli in as calm a tone as possible: "Xiuli, this is my birthday gift for you, I wish you a happy birthday!"

As he spoke, he stood up, handed the book of poetry to her desk with both hands, and then said calmly, "I'm leaving." See you soon!"

With that, he made his way to the door of the room with difficulty.

When Xu Xincheng walked out of the restaurant, when he was drenched in the icy rain, he realized that it was raining outside, and the storm had blown the flowers and plants on the side of the road to the ground.

He walked apathically in the torrential rain, allowing the torrential rain to relentlessly abuse his body, his heart, his soul......
