After Ai Lian and Zhou Yize talked about the deepest thoughts in their hearts, the relationship between the two of them has been growing day by day.

At the end of the year, the two families met in Jiangcheng, and Grandma Wang and Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came forward to set a wedding date for the two children.

Amy found that although Elaine was still a little nervous at this time, she no longer had the previous panic.

"That's nice."

She sighed lowly, Mingke's appearance coming to mind.

Amy and Mingke had already made up their minds to each other when they were in Mao'er Village, and by now, they have been in love for a long time.

It's just that she still doesn't want to think about getting married.

The deepest secret in her heart made her dare not agree to his proposal, because she would definitely fail him.

The room was filled with happy laughter, and Amy's lips lifted slightly, and she turned to Elaine and said:

"Sister, I went out beforehand."

Elaine looked at her worriedly, and she hurriedly waved her hand to say it was okay.

"It's just that I suddenly remembered that there was one more thing I hadn't done, so you can rest assured and come back soon."

She put on her coat and walked out of the house, and the cold wind was blowing outside.

Amy raised her hand and gathered her scarf tightly around her neck.

Between breaths, a white mist rises, and this year seems to be a little colder than last year.

Amy's hands remained in her warm pockets, and half of her face was shrunk under the soft scarf to avoid the cold wind as much as possible.

She walked aimlessly, and finally unconsciously walked to the gate of Jiangcheng University.

It's class time, and there are only a few students on campus who just haven't scheduled classes walking down the road in twos and threes, with happy or melancholy expressions on their faces, talking to their peers.

Amy stood in the doorway and watched them, thinking about when she was in college.

At that time, she hadn't come here yet, and she was just admitted to an ordinary university.

In the past, she was very inferior because she was born as an orphan, and she was reluctant to talk to others, always feeling that others would not like her.

However, even so, when she arrived at the new university, she was as excited as a bird that had just come out of the forest.

"Happy ......"

A smile tugged at the corner of Amy's mouth.

She was also very happy to be admitted to Jiangcheng University at that time, but she was not as pure as she once was, because she knew that being admitted to university was the only way for her to leave Mao'er Village.

However, the roommates she met at Jiangcheng University were very good, which made her live a very fulfilling college career.

Amy was letting go of her thoughts and thinking about the things that had been pressing her heart down when she suddenly heard familiar footsteps behind her.

It's Mingke.

"Want to go inside?"

Mingke has a card to enter the school gate, and although he left the laboratory, he still has a temporary position here, occasionally coming back to help when needed.

Amy looked at the students behind the school gate, shook her head and said:

"Nope."

Campus life was wonderful, but that was a thing of the past.

Mingke accompanied her in other directions, and after walking a long way, he spoke:

"Xiaomi, don't embarrass yourself, if you can't let go of some things, there's no need to force yourself to let go, and when the time comes, you will naturally get the final result, don't force it."

Amy's hand in her pocket was clenched into a fist, and she turned her head sideways to look at Mingke who was walking beside her.

He doesn't seem to have changed much from when he was in Mao'er Village, but it's completely different.

The eyebrows are still the same, but the feeling is completely different.

Once, every time Amy saw Mingke, she thought of the wolf lurking in the forest.

Now, when she sees Mingke again, she will feel that she has seen the warm winter sun.

Amy's heart tore at the two villains for a long time, and finally, she raised her hand to hold Mingke's arm and said:

"Mingke, let me tell you a story."

It's cold outside, but the story is long, they don't stay on the deserted street, turn into a Miller chain store, sit next to the warm stove, and hold two cups of warm milk tea.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was unloved and abandoned by her parents from birth......"

Amy talked about her past at a very slow pace, and after saying a few words, she lowered her head and took a sip of milk tea to calm her surging emotions.

"The little girl has no friends, everyone doesn't seem to like her, the boys dislike her as a girl, and the girls dislike her for being stupid. For a long, long time, the little girl was alone. ”

Every word in these words is simple, but for Amy, every word she says makes her heart uncomfortable.

She whispered about that not a good childhood, and shared her joy with Mingke in this way.

For example, on a rainy day, if you pick up a raincoat dropped by someone else, you don't have to get drenched in the rain, for example, on this day, the aunt in the cafeteria was in a good mood and gave her a lot of food, so that she didn't have to go hungry all day.

Mingke sat across from him and listened, with a doting expression on his face, but his hand under the table was already clenched.

Amy's story wasn't too long, and it ended with the girl's unexpected death at the supermarket door.

She can't continue to say below, because the rest of the time is spent with Mingke, and if she says it, I don't know if something uncontrollable will happen.

However, with the tacit understanding between her and Mingke, Mingke has already understood her story.

He didn't take his hand out from under the table, but put it out of Amy's sight.

"So, the past life was so hard, does the little girl still want to go back?"

Amy's heart beat faster, and she lowered her eyes and said:

"Actually, it's not all hard, but there are also very happy places, the little girl is getting better and better step by step, isn't it? And, for the little girl, that world is real, where she was born. ”

Because she saved herself in the fire of the garment factory a long time ago, she took out the equipment in the supermarket and failed to put it back in time, resulting in the portable supermarket being restricted and no longer able to take the contents as casually as she did at the beginning.

This supermarket is Amy's hole card, and she usually doesn't touch it unless it's necessary.

However, as a connection between the two worlds, Amy has been observing the changes in the supermarket.

She noticed that as time went on, the color of all the goods in the supermarket was fading.

This change is very subtle, and if it weren't for Amy's daily visit to the supermarket, she would never have noticed anything wrong.

She didn't know what that meant.

Maybe after the supermarket disappears completely, she will return to the world she once was.

Amy had always wanted to go back, but now that she was tied to so many people around her, she couldn't just turn around and leave without hesitation like she did when she first arrived.

This is also the reason why she can't respond to Mingke.

Amy worries that if she agrees to marry Mingke, he will be the only one left when the time comes.

This is too unfair for Mingke.

Opposite Amy, Mingke kept looking at her and asked repeatedly:

"So, does the little girl still want to go back? Even though that world wasn't too kind to her? ”

Mingke's hands were trembling slightly, but he didn't stand up directly and tell Amy not to go.

He had long said that he respected Amy's choice.

Whether it was, is, or will be in the future, his promises will always count.

"She doesn't know ...... either"

Amy couldn't give an affirmative answer.

Going home has been her obsession for so many years, but she hasn't figured out how to make a choice.

Amy's heart was in a mess, but her hand was suddenly held by Mingke.

"I support the little girl no matter what she chooses. It's just that whether the little girl stays in the new world or returns to the old world, it is best not to leave regrets, even if she may leave at any time, she must live every day, whether it is in the new world or in the old world in the past. ”

Amy froze.

"But it's not fair to others......"

"How do you know it's not what other people want?"

Mingke didn't let go, but held it tighter.

Amy didn't expect him to choose that.

Even if you know that she may leave at any time, you still have to be with her.

"Everyone is willing to love the little girl, they all want to give her the best, no matter where she goes in the end, everyone will always love her, all the time."

Mingke spoke firmly, completely different from Amy's hesitation.

But he didn't force Amy to give an answer right away, but accompanied her to drink milk tea and walk on the street for a while before sending her home.

As they parted, Mingke raised her hand and rubbed Amy's hair.

"The little girl doesn't need to think about anything else, she just needs to do what she will be happy with, nothing else matters."

That night, Amy had complete insomnia.

She looked at the ceiling with her eyes open all night, and thought about many, many things in her head, and went through all the things that had happened since she came to this world.

"Do I want to go?"

Amy touched her heart and asked countless times, but in the end she couldn't give an accurate answer.

It seems that no matter how she chooses, she will feel uncomfortable.

The next day, she and Mingke went back to Baili Town together, and on the way, Mingke behaved exactly as usual, carefully took out a thin blanket and covered her lap for fear that she would catch a cold, and did not mention a word about the little girl.

Time continues to move forward like this, before the Chinese New Year, Lingyun launched a new product in addition to iced tea and laughter haha - lactic acid bacteria drink.

This all-ages beverage once again set off a storm and made a bigger market share for Lingyun.

While Amy was cheering for this victory, Lin Quanyou, who was beside her, suddenly took out a red rose and stuffed it into her hand.

"Huh?"

Amy looked at Lin Quanyou suspiciously, not understanding what this meant.

But before she could ask, the rest of the factory came up to her, each with a red rose in their hands.

Amy stood in place in confusion, and soon was stuffed with a large handful of red roses, which felt very heavy to hold.

"Is this a new way to celebrate?"

Every time the products in the factory sell well, everyone will celebrate together, and Amy doesn't think much about it.

However, when the red carpet was rolled out in front of her from the door, she still felt as if something was not right.

She turned her head and asked Lin Quanyou, "Is this a prank?" ”

Although the product did sell well this time, it was too exaggerated to walk the red carpet, right?

Lin Quanyou winked at her, but he refused to open his mouth to speak, and Amy didn't see the answer from his crampy face for a long time.

At this time, the music played.
