After graduating, I went back to my mother's hotel to work and study at the University of Macau.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

After the first-year graduate exams, I wanted to give myself a long vacation, but my mother said that I still had a lot to learn, and I should study hard while I was young and had the energy. I'm most afraid of her talking, she has brought me up alone all these years, everything is good, but this mouth is unforgiving.

"I'm 24 years old." My mom watched me eat and said something like this.

I paused as I was eating, and looked up at my mother, whose eyes were shining with tears, and my heart was not happy.

"What's wrong Mom?"

"Qiqi, is my relationship with your dad making you have a shadow? So you've been reluctant to talk about a boyfriend? ”

It turned out to be this thing.

"Mom, you don't know, the boys I used to chase me in college were lined up from the cafeteria to the school gate."

"I haven't seen anyone you have anything to do with either?"

"Mom." I coquettishly didn't want her to mention it, maybe half of it was because of her and my father, which made me insecure about my marriage.

"Seventy-seven." She held my hand, "Mom has arranged a dinner for you, do you want to participate?" ”

I ate in my mouth, slurred. "What dinner?"

"I'll know when I go, I won't accompany you if I have something to do the day after tomorrow, and I'll send you the address when the time comes."

She suddenly looked at me in a daze, and as I hesitated, she rushed back to her room, muttering something to show me where the address was.

A bad feeling arises spontaneously.

It's hot in the south. At my mother's suggestion, I changed into a white dress and put on my long-lost high heels. Looking at the scorching sun outside, I wished I could wrap myself in sunscreen, but thinking about the oily touch on my face later, I obediently applied only a thin layer.

I always felt that my mother was mysterious and didn't tell me anything.

I took a taxi to the restaurant that had been agreed in advance, and the location next to the window next to the escalator on the second floor. As soon as I entered the restaurant, the waitress greeted me and asked me if I had made a reservation in advance, and after telling me where I was, she took me upstairs, and her high heels made a clattering sound on the wooden stairs.

She reminded me to be careful.

The location was well chosen, by the window and quiet.

I sat down for a while and the man still didn't come, I asked my mom and she said he was an important client and asked me to wait.

I clung to her and waited.

I was looking out the window and I heard the sound of leather shoes on the floor.

"Miss Cheng?"

Some familiar sounds.

I came back to my senses and stood up, ready to reach out and shake him.

That moment, just that moment, as if there was no one else in heaven and earth, only me and him. I thought we'd never cross paths again, but on graduation day I deleted a lot of irrelevant people, and he was listed as one of them.

"July." He called me again.

This time it's not an inquiry, it's solemn.

I heard my own somewhat hoarse voice, "Zhou Mulin." After saying that, I turned my head and drank the cold white open on the table to moisten my throat. I don't want to be so humble in front of him, that kind of shameless thing is enough to do it once.

After quickly adjusting my condition, I smiled back at him and said in a polite tone. "It turned out that Mr. Zhou was the important customer in my mother's mouth."

He motioned for me to sit down, and I didn't want to get entangled with him, "Say something, I'm in a hurry." ”

"Cheng Qiyue, didn't Auntie tell you that we are on a blind date now?"

I turned around abruptly and almost twisted my neck, completely losing the cold appearance I had just had. "What?"

"I said, we're on a blind date now."

After getting confirmation, I got up and was about to leave, but he grabbed my wrist, and I said fiercely, "Zhou Mulin, some things are enough at once." ”

He stood up and stopped me, "Cheng Qiyue, I didn't agree to you at that time, I was incapable, and I didn't deserve your liking." Now I can, so I want to start over with you. ”

At that time, Tai Yin said, "You just think that he doesn't like you, but he doesn't have enough chips to make you happy, and I'm afraid he will live up to your favor." ”

I suddenly didn't understand my own heart, and I just looked at him blankly. His eager gaze lingered on my face, with antiquity in his eyes.

The light in his eyes made me feel hot, and that was the way I used to look at him.

"Zhou Mulin, what do you want me to say? It was a few years ago when I confessed to you, and at that time, I wanted to stand next to you when I looked at you, and I thought, how can I get into your eyes when I look at a boy like you, who is covered in light. But then you poured cold water on me and drenched my dignity. Now when I have work to do, books to read, and I don't want to dwell on this kind of thing, you turn back and you go my way. Zhou Mulin, you are so arrogant, how can you eat back grass? ”

I said it lukewarmly, but every word was heartfelt. I saw with my own eyes the anger that pressed down between his brows.

"Because that person is you, I am willing to put aside my so-called dignity to find you."

I don't look too far to hook the corners of my lips, it's so funny.

We just stood in a stalemate, just when there were few guests, and not many people paid attention to our movements.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood right now." I shook him off and walked away without looking back.

He must have understood that my temper had not kept up, and I had never been a good girl, soft and hard.

But he came to Zhou Mulin, and he just entered my life again.

When I got home, my mother asked me how I was doing today, and I knew that she had arranged it on purpose, but I didn't know where she learned about the past between me and Zhou Mulin.

I wasn't much of an interest in arguing with her, "Mom, don't worry about this in the future." ”

She watched me go upstairs and didn't ask me again.

Zhou Mulin should have colluded with my mother, and he almost knew my whereabouts during the summer vacation. Every once in a while, I would receive his flowers, or something small. He said that others were not with me, but he wanted his shadow by my side.

Me: "Zhou Mulin, do you know what you look like now?" It's like the kind of greasy guy who cheats on a little girl. ”

I heard his chuckle on the other end of the phone, "In July, everyone in the world is changing. You don't know how hard I've worked this year to get to where I am today, and you don't know how uncomfortable I was with your liking for me at that time. ”

"Zhou Mulin, why do you think that I won't share weal and woe with you?"

"It's because I don't want you to suffer with me."

He said it plainly, but I wanted to laugh.

"Zhou Mulin, you have also seen it these days, I am not the eldest lady who comes to reach out for food and open my mouth, I also have things to work, I have my own dreams, we can obviously grow together, but because of your self-righteousness, we are drifting apart."

"July, give me a chance, the future is still long, I want to move forward side by side with you."

I wiped tears from the corners of my eyes and tried to make my voice sound normal. "Isn't it too insincere to say this kind of thing on your phone?"

He flew to Macau that afternoon, and I was waiting for him in front of the hotel.

The moment he embraced me, I only felt that this world was beautiful, but it was so, and the people I thought about also missed me.

It was so hot in September, but neither of us wanted to let go of each other.

The wedding date was set very closely, just three months later, on New Year's Day. Zhou Mulin is very busy, busy with the company's listing, busy with me trying on wedding dresses and taking wedding photos, and even our wedding invitations He will discuss with me carefully.

I lay on the table and watched him carefully flip through the picture style, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed and grabbed his arm, "You just got off the plane for a while, do you want to take a rest first?" ”

He stroked my head and looked at me seriously, "July, a once-in-a-lifetime thing, I don't want us to have the slightest regret." ”

We got married on New Year's Day, and the whole wedding was planned by the two of us together, leaving no regrets for ourselves.

I knew that Zhou Mulin was going to have a lawsuit with Su Yuzhi, and I could guess one or two when she suddenly asked me out that day.

In fact, what others don't know is that I am almost three months pregnant. Ah Yu asked me why I wasn't afraid of being fat, and I thought that she would naturally know when I found a good time.

But I never thought she would take advantage of me. If she really believed me, she wouldn't have to go to such lengths to tell me the truth, and I would have chosen to stand on the side of justice.

In the courtroom, I saw Su Yuzhi and Mu Linqiang confronting each other, and my heart was uncomfortable after all, one was my lover, and the other was my best friend.

What I didn't expect was that Su Yuzhi didn't use the recording of my conversation with her, and only had a few pieces of evidence in his hand to refute Mu Lin's opinion. I don't think I would have been a witness if it weren't for the child in my womb.

He was not yet born, and he could not be allowed to have such a father at the beginning of his coming into this world.

I didn't dare to look at Zhou Mulin's unbelievable gaze, he would hate me, hate me for not keeping a secret for him.

"July." My wrist was held by Su Yuzhi, but I didn't want to talk to her anymore at this time.

I broke her fingers with all my might, poking them word by word in her heart. "In the future, we don't owe you."

The prison guards came and took Zhou Mulin away, and I followed. Sure enough, Zhou Mulin didn't want to see me again, so he asked the prison guards to take him away.

"Zhou Mulin!" My voice echoed through the long, dark corridor, the prison guard's footsteps paused for a moment, and Zhou Mulin finally refused to look back at me.

I ran to him and held his hands that had been handcuffed, "I know you blame me for what happened just now, but I promise you, I will always be with you after you come out, I can use everything I have to help you make a comeback, but we can't do such things that hurt others and ourselves again, okay?" ”

Zhou Mulin took a step back, away from my touch, drooping his head and his eyes were gone, "July, I'm sorry, I have nothing." I don't deserve you anymore. I'll find someone to give you the divorce agreement, later... Don't think of me anymore."

I didn't have time to wipe the tears from my face, and rummaged through my bag to find a list and put it in his hand, "After reading this, you will make a decision, I will wait for you." ”

That's the lab sheet for me to do a B-ultrasound.

I heard that He Beici was getting married, but the bride was not Su Yuzhi. Thinking about it, Su Yuzhi and I really haven't been in touch for four years, and her body was already so weak when I married Zhou Mulin, and I didn't dare to imagine what it was because of this, so the bride of He Bei's wedding was not her.

At He Beici's wedding, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I saw her and Jiang Nai enter the door together, but fortunately, she appeared safe and sound.

I don't know how determined she was to come to He Beici's wedding. The man in a white tuxedo on the stage was her favorite person, her only support besides her relatives.

When He Beici and the bride went off the stage to toast together, I always couldn't help but look at Su Yuzhi who secretly wiped her tears in the corner, and later I saw her drink all the red wine in the cup, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying.

She and Jiang Nai left the scene early.

I haven't seen her since.

The person with whom I used to get drunk and sing and dance never again. She has only been happy for half of her life in her lonely life.

Afterward... Later, I received a call from her, and I was overjoyed to hear a man's voice coming from there. He asked me in a hoarse voice if it was Cheng Qiyue, and I hurriedly answered.

"I'm Jiang Nai, Su Yuzhi passed away. I think there is a great deal of regret between you, and if there is time, I hope you can come and see her off for the last time. I will send you the time and address of the funeral later. ”

Zhou Mulin walked into the room with the child in his arms and saw my confused appearance, he hurriedly put down the child and rushed to the side of the bed to hold me tightly in his arms, "What's wrong?" ”

"Su Yuzhi is gone." I hugged Zhou Mulin's arm tightly and kept sobbing, "You say... Why did I have to be angry with her at that time? ”

"Are you going back to see her?" He hugged me tightly and calmed me down.

Go back? I've been indebted to her for so many years, and that's the last time I did. I can't do anything now, and I think she also blames me in her heart, complains that I don't listen to her explanations, blames me for ignoring my friendship for many years, and blames me for not contacting her all these years.

"I'll go back." I'm sure.

Now that this is the case, all I can do is give her one last ride. She left so suddenly, as Jiang Nai said, there is a great regret between us.

Ah Yu, if I come to you that day, will you forgive me for my unkindness earlier?
