After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Li Shaowen ordered the waiter to remove the cups, plates and bowls in front of him. Zhou Zhilan peeked from the sidelines and waited for his next behavior.

"Accident?" Li Shaowen took a sip of tea unhurriedly.

I'm really afraid of something, and I can't escape it, Zhilan smiled bitterly and didn't answer.

"That's good." With a slap on the wrist, the luthier comes on the field to play the violin.

Li Shaowen got up and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhilan, holding a ring in his hand.

Zhilan was shocked: "This is?" ”

"I hope you accept me as your boyfriend. I like you and will take care of you for the rest of my life, trust me. Li Shaowen said softly, still holding the gemstone ring in his hand.

"I don't want it." Zhilan's face was full of refusal, "We just met, we don't know each other at all, you don't want me to accept it, if you do it again, I will leave immediately." ”

"Everything I say comes from the bottom of my heart." Li Shaowen stared into her eyes, full of determination.

"How can you be worthy of Sister Ru? She's obsessed with you, and you're pretending to be confused about me? I won't and can't like you, you know? Zhilan said word by word.

"It doesn't matter. Don't we get along with each other slowly? How did your parents' generation live their lives before they had never even met? As for Jingru, she is just my cousin, and I have never promised her anything, so how can I be worthy of being sorry? ”

"How do you know that your parents' generation will be happy? I heard that Mr. Lu Xun, who is famous in Shanghai, has always disliked his original wife, which is not like marrying his students, and there are many people like him. You've been studying in Shanghai for many years, so you should have heard about it. I advise you not to waste your efforts, thank you for your lunch today, and I will have the opportunity to return you in the future. Zhilan refused.

"Wait! I didn't want to force you. Being my girlfriend is my condition. You'd better promise me, or I'll consider continuing to deal with Wande. Don't blame me, I told you openly and honestly earlier that these days are just a little trial for me. If all virtues are lost, I don't know how you can see your father, who expects so much from you! Shaowen said to her in a soft tone, and he actually said such threatening words lightly.

"You! Okay, if you have the ability to let the horse come, I, Zhou Zhilan, don't eat scaring this set the most. Li Shaowen said Zhilan's temper, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that it will solve the problem? Isn't everything just a way for soldiers to block the water and cover the earth? Now that he has been beaten, he has realized the truth that he can't look ahead and look backward. Even if you are afraid of something, the more you are afraid, the more it will happen in some worse form.

Zhou Zhilan's words made Li Shaowen realize that he had to get along with her in a different way. He got up and waved the luthier's attendant away, and sat down on the chair in front of Zhilan with a battered appearance.

"What tricks are you playing? ＂

"What do you dislike about me, tell me to make me die." Li Shaowen looked depressed, "When I was studying in Shanghai, there were also female classmates in the class who admired me, and my classmates also asked me to go to the hall to drink flower wine, but I was never moved. For some reason, the glance at you in Liyuan Pavilion moved me and made me decide to marry you and go home. I've worked you, and now I'm a little tired and a little discouraged, and to be honest, do you hate me? ”

Isn't Li Shaowen a high-minded person? I didn't expect him to be fragile, and he looked like he made Zhilan's footsteps stagnate, and his words stopped Zhilan.

"Actually, if you want me to say that I'm ugly, I really can't say it. When I think of you, I only think of Sister Ru. Do you know? For example, my sister told me that she wanted to marry you when she grew up, and every time she would share her feelings for you with me, her feelings for you have never decreased! The one she always admired you when you appeared, maybe you didn't pay attention. Like my sister, I can't think about you, and your personality is not the type I like, so don't be busy in vain, and treat your sister well is the right way. ”

"Enough! Each of you is nagging Zhou Jingru in my ear. Me or her, we are all living people with feelings, she has her feelings, and I have my own choices, don't you forcibly tie her to my life, okay? She has to find someone who is suitable for her, don't you make me think that not choosing to be quiet is a sin, okay? Li Shaowen's words were aggrieved, and Zhilan could hear it, and was speechless for a while.

The two of them sat quietly, the scene was silent, and it seemed that they could hear the needle.

"Zhou Zhilan, let me ask you, if you and your sister like another man other than me at the same time, will you fight with her?" Li Shaowen thought about it and asked.

Zhilan didn't think twice: "No matter who it is, as long as my sister likes it, I won't fight with her, and I won't even let it start." ”

"That's because you don't understand love, it's all wrong! All wrong! Li Shaowen got up and roared slightly, he was really angry, "You are a deserter, you don't understand love at all!" Zhou Zhilan, you ...... I'm different, no matter what you think, since I have chosen you, I will always work hard and persevere to the end! ”

Li Shaowen pulled up Zhilan and walked irritably to the window of the viewing restaurant.

"Look!" He pointed to the riverside with his hand in vain, "There are a few docks over there, which are nominally from the Zheng family, but actually mine." If I only know how to escape, how can I gain a foothold in Jiangcheng? How did you get to where you are today? Little girl, if you are in love with a man at the same time as another person, you have to fight. Everyone will compliment you when you succeed, and their eyes will make you feel that it is worth it, and you will find that the hardships of those processes are simply not worth mentioning. And the losers can only hide back in their lair and lick their wounds, who makes them inferior to others?

I've seen too many ...... in the business What's more, there is nothing to do but complain. Only if you succeed, others will affirm your ability, and those who you want to step on will really surrender to you, so as long as you love, fight, no matter how many sisters and sisters, that is your enemy, your win or loss depends on the breath in your chest, you will act if you have the heart, you will not regret if you act, and you will never lose! The same is true of feelings.

Now you have got my heart, you are better than Zhou Jingru, you are a successful person, this is the great glory of your woman's charm. Don't forget, you're also a woman, and you're still a beautiful woman. Only I understand your budding flowers, I can take you to eat what you have not eaten, what you have never seen, let you really get out of the deep house boudoir. ”

Zhou Zhilan was almost protected by him in his arms, and when he spoke, Zhilan seemed to be unconscious, but now listening to the breath exhaled from his cavity in his ears, he suddenly woke up, she pushed him away and stood aside.

His words made her dumbfounded, she heard it confusedly at first, and then it boiled down to comparing it with Jingru.

She bit her lip and didn't want to continue, so she hurriedly changed the topic: "This is really a small place to see all the mountains, and the ancients honestly did not deceive me." ”

Li Shaowen stared at her expression, and hurriedly added firewood: "You see, standing on a high place has charm, and the mind will be much broader. You shouldn't just be trapped in the small circle of the Zhou Mansion, you might as well leave it to me to take you to understand a different kind of life. ”

"You're in control of Zhihe, you're on your own. You are famous, who doesn't know that you, the ruthless Li family, don't know you? You've reached a certain level of cultivation, right? Zhilan didn't follow Li Shaowen's meaning, but teased him.

"It's all false names, all like flowing water, and they will pass away sooner or later. People in the world only look at the superficial surface of people. Just like when you met me in Liyuan Pavilion, didn't you think I was trying to tease? You simply can't understand the fact that I already had a crush on you at that time. ”

"So you noticed me then?"

"I'm going to say I've been mindful of you in Mingji, will you believe it? I watched a good show that day in Liyuan Pavilion. You are different from me, I am a person whose roots are immersed in muddy water, I need fresh water for irrigation, you are the clear stream. Li Shaowen said emotionally.

"You just call me simple, stupid." Zhilan turned the conversation around without a trace.

"Don't underestimate yourself, you have your strength, you captured my heart quietly!"

Zhilan rolled her eyes and sneered, "It's back to square one again." You are really good at sweet talk, such as my sister being deceived by you like this. Do you remember the last time you were gentle with your sister, and you liked the new and hated the old so quickly? ”

"The reason why I am intimate with Jingru is that I use her to ask you out, and second, I want you to be jealous."

"Even if you don't like her, she's your cousin. It's terrible that you're using her! Zhilan took a step back.

"I admit that I was wrong, that I was too anxious. I'll apologize to her. ”

"Okay, that's it for today, the time is almost up, my brother should come and pick me up."

"I really can't bear to ......" Li Shaowen had a rare opportunity, he suddenly took a step, hugged Zhilan and muttered.

"Let go of me, I want to go home, send me back, you have to keep your word." After this sudden attack, Zhilan was surprised, and the direct reaction was to push it away, but it couldn't be pushed! The alarm bell sounded in her heart, and she asked directly and calmly.

Li Shaowen let go of her: "Okay, I keep my word." Thank you for chatting with me today. For your sake, I have decided to terminate the plan for Wande, and you can rest assured. ”

Zhilan glanced at him. This time I met Li Shaowen, and he drew her a tempting future. She didn't dare to believe it, the so-called listening to his words, she had to watch his deeds. She collected her mood and walked out of the door of the restaurant with a view.

Li Shaowen looked at her back, softened himself, followed her footsteps, and got out of the elevator with her to get on the bus. Zhilan leaned against the window and looked thoughtfully at the fleeting scenery. Shaowen looked at his watch.

The car returned to the door of Chi Hoa. Zhou Muqing had already been waiting in the hall as promised, Zhilan got out of the car, Shaowen saw Mu Qing and said with a smile: "I will do what I say, your sister will return to Zhao." ”

Mu Qing's face turned pale and he didn't say a word, so he took Zhilan and left.

Zhilan could feel the resentment and humiliation in Mu Qing's heart, and she secretly saw him curl up his other hand and clench it into a fist fiercely.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way, Mu Qing wanted to speak several times, looking at the entire Zhilan leaning on the back of the car seat beside him, and couldn't ask anything. 

Zhilan relaxed, but she was extremely tired, and she just wanted to go home quickly. 

"Sleep for a while, I'll call you when it's time." Mu Qing said thoughtfully. 

She nodded, closed her eyes, and literally fell asleep. He couldn't help but rest her tilted head on his shoulder. 

When the car arrived at the door, Mu Qing stared at her sleeping face, not knowing what she had just experienced, and guilt, self-blame and regret came to her heart. He stroked the hair on her forehead and said softly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my incompetence that made you feel wronged......"

It took her a while to wake up. 

"Lan'er, it's okay when you get home. No matter what he says in the afternoon, you will be a gust of wind, and when the wind passes, it will pass, and everything will be with me. Mu Qing comforted her. 

"I believe in you." Zhilan met his sincere eyes and smiled helplessly. 

Zhou Muqing looked at her smile steadily, and sighed for a long time.
