Chapter 30 (Part II)

After Chi Nuo gradually calmed down, Chen Yi was silent for a while, after nearly three minutes of sorting out her thoughts, she realized that what he said was not wrong, she had nowhere to refute, at the beginning, she didn't treat him as a partner who could spend the rest of her life together, she chose him just because he loved her, and when she was fed up with giving in love, she just wanted to get it in love.
She really doesn't love him enough, she knows it very well in her heart, so she has been making up for it in life, she spends money on him, spends a lot of money, takes care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and makes him as carefree as possible materially, from the hair on his head to the shoes on his feet, from the backpack on his shoulder to the laptop in his hand, all of which she spends, which she is willing to do, but also to buy her own peace of mind.
She thought he knewβI gave you money, you gave me loveβshe thought there was already such a tacit understanding between them, but it was clear that Chi Nuo still hoped, or thought, that sooner or later, she could give him a lot of love.
Chen Yi can't see that long in the future, maybe as time goes by, she will fall in love with Chi Promise with all her heart, but she can't guarantee it, it's just a "maybe" possibility, in case the end of his life, when he is full of gray hair, he asks her for the last time, "Do you love me?"
And she could only reply with a hesitant silence, which was too unfair to him.
"Chi Nuo......" she raised her head and blurted out, "Are you going to break up with me?"
She originally wanted to tell the truth, "I'm sorry, I don't love you enough." But when it slipped out of the tip of her tongue, she couldn't help but change her mouth out of guilt, which was her cunning as an adult, and threw the problem back to Chi Nuo.
Chi Nuo was stunned, as if he was stunned by this question, and only after a while did he ask in a trance, "I didn't have it?" Without waiting for Chen Yi to speak again, he stood up anxiously and repeated loudly, "I don't have it! I don't want to break up, I never want to break up." He was so anxious that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get his words right, so he raised his hand and slapped the table twice, and shouted, "Where did you hear that I was going to break up?"
As soon as these words came out, he swallowed the last syllable as if choking, and he also knew the answer in his heart, so he kept avoiding this question, at this moment, he actually had an expression of breaking into the forbidden area and making a mistake, looking at Chen Yi in a panic.
In fact, Chi Nuo is really a good boy, Zhou Biyun also knows that she is also distressed when she looks at him like this, and she was about to open her mouth to comfort, but she was interrupted by Chen Yi's sudden words, "Let's go out for a walk." Chen Yi stood up, picked up Chi Nuo and walked out of the door, while not forgetting to explain, "Mom, you have a good meal." β
Seeing them disappear outside the door, Zhou Biyun's face flashed with regret of missing a good show, "hum", walked to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, and then turned around and sat in front of the TV to pick up a bowl to eat, the outsiders in the house were swept away, and they could drink a cup of tea quietly later.

said that she was going out for a walk, in fact, Chen Yi just didn't want to quarrel with Chi Nuo in front of Zhou Biyun, she felt that the relationship between the two should be clearly identified and discussed separately and privately, and it was not pure enough to have a third person present, so she pulled him to the fire escape, and the two of them stood in front of the gray wall, she asked: "Say it, what do you want?"
Chi Nuo's back was pressed against the wall, and he hung his head and whispered, "I don't want to do anything." β
Chen Yi was amused by his appearance, "Didn't you have a small mouth just now?" β
"You can not love me. β
He said this suddenly, but Chen Yi didn't react, "Huh?"
He said, "You can not love me, as long as I love you." β
Chen Yi was dumbfounded again, he had come up with the correct answer by himself, so what else did she have to say?
"Because I love you and can't do without you, so even if I see the truth clearly, you really don't love me, then my choice will not change in any way. Chi Nuo looked at her firmly, "I'm happy to be with you, and I don't want to be separated from you." β
Chen Yi didn't know what to say, she was naturally moved to have such an unwavering love, but it was like being swallowed into the belly of a humpback whale, although she could not be drowned in the sea, but she would also be gently digested, for her, it didn't seem to make much difference, after all, it was gradually fading and turning into bubbles.

Zhou Biyun finished eating, and was about to sit on the sofa to start enjoying osmanthus oolong tea, when he saw Chen Yi coming back alone, he was surprised and happy and asked, "This is a break?"
"Sorry, no points. Chen Yi walked to the dining table to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I told him to chase his uncle and aunt, and asked him to persuade them, there is no need for everyone to tear their faces and make a fuss like this." β
"What?!" Zhou Biyun screamed, almost not being scalded by the hot water in the cup when she bounced up, she walked quickly to Chen Yi and said, "That's it, it's not divided?
"Mom, I have no reason to break up with him, and his parents' remarks can't represent him, you say, you find fault with Chi Nuo, what did he do wrong?" Chen Yi explained while busy with his eyelids, "But I am not unconditionally tolerant, I told him that if he can't convince his parents to accept the current situation we are getting along, then he can't prove that he is a responsible man who can solve problems, and there is nothing to continue between him and me." β
"Oh......" Zhou Biyun nodded approvingly, "You can handle it well, he, the child is a good child, and he should grow up." β
Chen Yi smiled, "So don't worry about me, your daughter is not a fool." β
"Don't, don't misunderstand yourself, you're just a fool, you're not stupid in this part or that in that piece, in the past, you were stupid for the sake of feelings, you couldn't figure out your focus, and you just wanted to get along with Bai Qi, but now, you're upside down, you only have a career in your heart, and you're confused about your feelings. Zhou Biyun shook his head and let out a helpless laugh, "You said that your head can only be shrewd for one thing?"
"At least I can still concentrate on one thing, Mom, don't you know how many people have been confused in the face of everything in their lives?" Chen Yi folded the dishes and chopsticks together with his hands and feet, and continued while going to the kitchen, " I have already talked openly and honestly with Chi Nuo, if he still insists on being with me, I will not refuse him, because the focus of my next life will only be on my career, if I really want to marry him in the future, he doesn't need to worry about me doing anything to betray him, as long as he focuses on taking care of the family, and I make money steadily, as long as he doesn't act like a demon, I definitely won't have any excessive demands on him, then our marriage can be long-......lasting."
"So that's what he means inside the Lord and you outside the Lord?" Zhou Biyun interrupted her and asked.
Chen Yi replied while washing the dishes: "Don't tell me anything about the traditional one, Mom, I see that you have been quite open-minded recently......"
"I don't care how you arrange things at home or outside the house, I just think that you don't have to compromise like this, and no one forces you to have the best of both worlds-" Zhou Biyun frowned and said, "What's more, now that you are the strong side, you actually have the ability to have the best on both sides, you have to earn money, and you have to talk about feelings that you really like." β
"Mom, I don't want to be the strong side. Chen Yi stopped moving, looked back at her mother, and said seriously, "Don't you understand me?" I'm tired, but work has made me anxious, and I can't live too many things and ...... There are too many people, I want to settle down, I want my heart, to be calm, from now on, I want to live a life that has settled down, I want to open my eyes, everything I see, stay there in order, I want to know what I already have and will not lose. β

In the end, Chi Nuo finally persuaded his parents to come back, but they did not return to his and Chen Yi's house, but he followed Chen Yi's arrangement and sent them to the hotel.
When Chi Nuo returned home, he hugged Chen Yi tightly and circled in place, screaming excitedly, "Great!"
Chen Yi looked at him gently, thinking, this is good, right? Well, it's good, there is a man who loves him so deeply and is willing to protect the small family of the two, it would be good for her to fight for her career wholeheartedly in the future, as an adult, she shouldn't have "all of them", the more content, the more satisfied.
