Hearing someone knocking on the door upstairs, Kang Yurong walked out and saw that it was the postman.

At this time, she was in Ke Mulan's house and was about to prepare lunch.

After receiving the letter, she did not go back to her house, but returned to the living room while dismantling it.

Listen to it:

Because of your fault, the Kang family has lost its prosperity, and it is already a loss of good fortune. If you refuse to return to China, your father will not insist on it, so that the rumors can be stopped.

Hearing this, there is a man with you by your side, but your father will not allow it. Regardless of your relationship with it, separate immediately and never see each other again.

If you are no longer clean and self-loving, and you are ambiguous with men, one day, can you still have the face to meet your parents and your neighboring fathers?

For the sake of Jingmenting, you are not allowed to marry within three years, let alone associate with men, otherwise the world will think that you are abandoned by the Zhang family when you go out of the wall. Death by starvation is a small matter of frustration, and you must remember it.

Father.

In his father's letter, there was no concern, no greetings, some just reprimands, and even contempt, Kang Yurong felt sad in his heart.

As soon as her hand was released, the letterhead in her hand fluttered down, and she didn't care.

The second brother said: The pain of losing Sheng Cheng is like mourning.

My father said: The pain is not lost.

Zhang Shengcheng, that is her husband, the father of her children, and the man she was moved by at a glance.

She also had heartache to lose him. But what could she do?

If you are mourning?

Unpaid loss?

She was his sister, she was his daughter.

But why?

Why do they all put the fault of losing Zhang Shengcheng on her?

Why do they only see the brilliance that Zhang Shengcheng brought them, but they can't see what kind of injury and pain Zhang Shengcheng brought her?

Although she is wooden, she is not a wood.

She is a person, a person with flesh and blood, thoughts and feelings, who knows pain and hurts.

Zhang Shengcheng has already covered her injured scales, why can't her father and second brother see it?

Could it be that her place in their hearts was so small that it was dispensable, and even if she was wounded, did they think it didn't matter?

Kang Yurong smiled bitterly with tears.

She wants to get married, she wants to associate with men, that is, red apricots out of the wall.

Zhang Shengcheng married other women with great fanfare, and they all sat on the red apricot out of the wall, why don't you complain and blame her?

So, is it fair?

Is it fair?

Kang Yurong slowly closed his eyes and slid down a line of tears from the corners of his eyes.

When Ke Mulan came back at noon, he saw such a scene.

Kang Yurong sat in a small sofa, his arms hanging on the armrests, his head resting on the back of the sofa, his eyes gently closed, if it weren't for the strings of tears in the corners of his eyes, he would have thought she was asleep.

At noon in winter, the dazzling and enthusiastic sunlight spread on her body, making her whole body coated with a layer of light.

It's just that this light can't hide the exhaustion and sadness that emanates from her.

She lay pitifully there, like an abandoned child, full of endless sorrow.

She was so depressed in her own despair that she ignored the approaching footsteps.

He approached step by step, thinking about how to speak, and his dark eyes unconsciously lowered and saw the paper on the ground.

Bending down to pick it up, looking down, I couldn't help but be shocked that there would be such a cruel father in the world.

He frowned, staring at the slender figure, his eyes full of pain.

He wanted to comfort, and even wanted to take her into his arms and use his arms to heal the wounds in her heart.

However, he can't.

The words on the letterhead made her sad, made her disheartened by her attitude towards her loved ones, and let the shackles of "three obedience and four virtues, women's virtue and women's merit" in her heart once again bind her to death.

He thought that she had already made a decision in her heart to draw a line with him, an "ambiguous" man.

If his concern and concern were too obvious at this time, she would not only push him away, but even quickly disappear from his sight, so that he could no longer be found.

He would never give her a chance to escape him.

Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to put a certain "distance" from her first.

Ke Mulan took three or two steps forward, stood in front of her, clenched his fist against his lips, and coughed lightly.

Kang Yurong, who was awakened, suddenly opened his eyes, tilted his head, and collided with his handsome eyebrows.

For a moment, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she sat up, twisted her head to the side, and quietly wiped the tears from her eyes.

Ke Mulan stretched out the letterhead in her hand to her Kang Yurong's eyes, and asked knowingly, "This is yours, right?"

It seemed that there was something ulterior on the paper, Kang Yurong came over as soon as he could, and he didn't bother to fold it, and he held it tightly in his hand.

Kang Yurong glanced at the man quickly, exhaled imperceptibly, bit his lip, and heard his voice before he could say anything.

He asked, "Your father hasn't been abroad, has he?"

Kang Yurong was stunned for a moment, didn't know what he meant, shook his head, and replied truthfully: "No." ”

Ke Mulan said: "No wonder. ”

After speaking, he stepped over at her feet, turned around and did it on the couch next to her, unbuttoned his shirt, put his legs together, and then said, "Is his thinking still so old-fashioned?" ”

Kang Yurong didn't understand, and looked at him directly.

Ke Mulan said: "I think that if your father often goes around abroad, he will not be so rigid or even narrow in his approach to the relationship between men and women. Because men and women, in addition to the relationship between husband and wife, will also be a relationship between colleagues, classmates, friends, superiors and subordinates, doctors and patients, and so on.

In these relationships, not to mention verbal communication, I am afraid that physical contact is also inevitable, right? If so, wouldn't it be ambiguous in your father's eyes? So, I say that his thinking is too old-fashioned.

Not to mention foreign countries, even in China, any school, any place of work, is mixed with men and women, do you want to never communicate with your male classmates and colleagues for the rest of your life? I'm afraid this is unrealistic. So I think your father's words are too arbitrary.

It's normal to help each other with classmates, colleagues, and friends. I also often ask the landlady for help, and the landlady also asks me for help, little Cathy, and Miss Li and Miss Sally downstairs, as neighbors, we are also you help me and I help you, are we all ambiguous?

So, you and I are friends, helping each other, occasionally caring about each other, I don't think we are ambiguous, we are clear and clear. ”

After a while, Kang Yurong digested Ke Mulan's words.

She asked, "Are we friends?"

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Aren't we friends?"

She said, "Yes." Again, she brought it up.

"Since we're friends, do you have any problems with helping me and helping you?"

"Nothing is a problem. ”

As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of shadows. As long as we stand up straight and do the right thing, your father's suspicions will naturally be broken. ”

Ke Mulan didn't continue, looked at her thinking for a while, and finally said what she wanted to say: "As a child, there is nothing wrong with obeying your parents, but don't let your parents imprison all your thoughts, then you will blindly follow and lose yourself." You say, am I right?"

Kang Yurong nodded.

"Since you think I'm right, listen to me, don't think about anything now, just how to learn English well and how to get into a good school. When you become a strong man, you will have the right to speak. Anyone, even your parents and siblings, will be receptive to your opinions and ideas. ”

"Hmm. ”

Kang Yurong's gloomy face eased a lot.

Ke Mulan knew that the shackles were already ingrained in her heart, and she couldn't jump out all at once with his words. But at least, she's relented.

Ke Mulan accepted it when he saw it, and did not bite the question to death, but immediately changed the topic.

He said, "I'm hungry, can you get me something to eat? I have to go to work in the afternoon." ”

Kang Yurong then remembered that she hadn't prepared lunch yet. Unable to care about anything else, he immediately ran into the kitchen.

Ke Mulan looked at her back and exhaled heavily.

Although he is not good at words and few words, he is not a fool, and he still knows more or less what he thinks of her.

I didn't dare to say that I didn't care about her identity, she was timid and sensitive, afraid that after the confession, she just blindly retreated, and when the time came, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to stay by her side.

To be honest, he sweated for himself just now, and he was really afraid that it would be self-defeating if he couldn't say it well.

Kang Yurong's father's words disgusted him, but even so, he couldn't criticize and refute them directly. can only vaguely expose his shortcomings.

Fortunately, he put himself in the position of a simple friend, otherwise how could she let go of the burden in her heart so quickly and let her get along with herself calmly?

It's just that how long will I have to put the position of my "friend"?

After that kiss, I've been looking for an opportunity to show my heart, and now it seems that I have to wait a little longer.

It hasn't been long since Ke Mulan went to work, and Kang Yurong simply made two servings of tomato and egg noodles.

During the meal, in order to distract Kang Yurong's attention, Ke Mulan said a lot of interesting things in the hospital, little Cathy's trivial matters, and her study matters, anyway, she kept talking.

Before leaving, I was afraid that she would think about something that she didn't have, so I left her a lot of homework.

Kang Yurong was stunned by the homework he assigned.

Maybe I feel that I have gone too far, but if I say it myself, how can I take it back by myself? Isn't it a slap in the face?

He coughed against his lips and said a little relyingly: "English should be read more, write more, read more, and practice more." You have to finish it, come back I'm going to check. If you can't finish it, you will double it tomorrow. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ke Mulan didn't look at Kang Yurong's expression, so he turned around and ran away.
