Chapter 160: I Liked You

Not long after, I stood at the door of Mao Ranran's room and knocked on the door.

She rubbed her big eyes and looked at me intently, and before she could speak, I spoke first: "I'll go back to Shanghai with you, and if you book a ticket, I want to see my parents, but I'll go with you, but I just want to stay for a day, and if you want to stay for a few more days, stay a few more days." ā€

Mao Ranran put his arm around my shoulders and smiled, "Finally figured it out?" That's how it should be, no matter what those stinky men do, you can go wherever you want, they are sorry for us, and it's not that we're sorry for them, even if you only stay for a day, at least dare to face it. ā€

Mao Ranran's ticket was set on Christmas Eve, and now many tourists like to go to some metropolises for the festival at Christmas, especially young people, so our small fishing village has recently become less crowded and deserted.

It is good to take advantage of this time to go to Shanghai, as a holiday for yourself and a few days off.

That is, after living in a small fishing village in Yangcheng for two months, I followed Mao Ranran back to Shanghai, and as soon as I got off the train, it snowed heavily that day.

It is also strange to say that it is rare for such a large snow to fall in Shanghai, if it is placed a long time ago, it is difficult to see snow in Shanghai, but over the years, I have often looked at the weather forecast, and snow has become a common occurrence in winter.

Mao Ranran went to the hotel she had booked, saying that an old friend would pick her up at the party for a while, and I took a taxi straight to the cemetery.

I bought a lot of things halfway through, and I wanted to make up for the shortcomings of the past two years to my parents.

When I arrived at the cemetery, perhaps because of the heavy snowfall, the two of them looked clean in front of their tombstones, and I didn't pay much attention to that.

At the beginning, I deliberately separated them from the tombstones, after all, the two people had been entangled in love and hate for too long before their lives, and it was a bit cruel to insist on burying the two of them together, so I separated them in two corners of the cemetery to let each other be peaceful and well.

I put the things in my hand in front of them, and I sat quietly in the snow and talked to them, but about my love life, almost everything was hidden.

Although the relationship between the three of us can be described as freezing point, after all, we have been gone for more than two years, and I hope that they can be happy with each other in another world without disturbing each other.

After a while, seeing that the heavy snow did not have a tendency to stop, I got up and wanted to leave, after all, I bought a ticket for the night back to Yangcheng, the road was slippery in snow, even if it was a taxi, but it was also driven carefully, and it was necessary to advance the time.

It took more than half an hour to walk from the cemetery to the intersection, and just when I wanted to look back to see if there was a car, I fell firmly.

I was just about to get up and pat the snow on my body when a big palm suddenly stretched out in front of me and held me steadily.

When I looked up and saw the person standing in front of me, I couldn't help but sigh and finally say "thank you" to him, which was the first thing I said after two and a half years of separation from him.

I was worried that I would run into him when I went back to Shanghai with Mao Ranran, so I came and left on the same day, but I was still hit by him.

Knowing that I came back to worship, except for Mao Ranran, I can't think of anyone who can report to Xu Zhizhou, and they are also preparing to participate in the annual meeting of Maigao, so at this moment, I just want to break Mao Ranran's body into pieces.

Just as I was thinking about this, Xu Zhizhou let go of my hand and broke the silence between us with a light cough: "Long time no see." ā€

It's been a long time since I saw him, Mao Ranran really gave me a big surprise, but soon I returned to normal, and since he greeted me, I also politely greeted him.

"Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I heard that you have become a father, congratulations."

I spoke in a very polite tone, but it felt like I was thousands of miles away, just trying to get away quickly.

But I couldn't resist Xu Zhizhou, in fact, Xu Zhizhou didn't say anything, just quickly snatched my bag with one hand and threw it into his car, and then pushed me into the car, ignoring my refusal, and slowly drove on the snowy road.

Although I was helpless to sit in the car, I didn't want to worry about anything and was worried about driving on such a road, so I sat quietly in the back seat and looked at the city where I had lived for many years.

It's changed, the city has changed a lot.

Although it was covered in snow, it could not cover its own light.

Looking at all this, when I came back to my senses, Xu Zhizhou had already parked the car in front of a Western restaurant.

"Let's have a meal together, I know you're going to catch a car, and you won't be delayed."

Xu Zhizhou didn't allow me to say no words, so he got out of the car directly, handed over the car keys to the doorman, and he strode away with my bag and entered the restaurant.

That's my bag, how did he take it so handy, I was really angry, but mixed with a little helplessness, I could only chase after my bag.

When I came back to my senses, Xu Zhizhou and I were already sitting in the private room of this Western restaurant, I didn't speak, just quietly looked at the big hotel opposite, and suddenly remembered that Mao Ranran said that this was the hotel where they were going to attend the annual meeting, and the approximate time was 18:00 in the evening.

I couldn't help but look at my watch, it was already 17:00, and it was good, I thought I would be able to end this meeting soon.

"You don't seem to want to see me." Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Xu Zhizhou finally couldn't help but break the silence.

I shook my head, and my tone was also light: "You went to the cemetery to pick me up, and now you have arranged another meal, do you have anything to say?" I have to catch the train in a while, can you hurry up and say what I want to say? ā€

Xu Zhizhou was still smiling a little just now, and when he heard my words, he suppressed his emotions and said: "This time I want to tell you what happened more than two years ago, at that time, I couldn't say a lot of things, and I couldn't say it to outsiders, after all, it was my family's family accident, if I didn't choose to marry Vereer at that time, it is likely that I would be penniless now, and even my mother would be kicked out of the Xu family." ā€

"And now? With Vereer's power and children, is it for the Xu family to keep going with Vereer? Actually, I'm curious, if I had married you, would you have divorced me and married Vereer because of family changes? I suddenly interrupted Xu Zhizhou and asked.

I asked this not for anything else, but to see if he had said this with the intention of wanting me to be with him again, and to know where I had been in his heart before, even though I was not destined to be with him.

Xu Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I will go on with Vereer all the time." ā€

"What about the second question?"

Xu Zhizhou was a little speechless: "There will be a divorce." ā€

Looking at his expression, I chuckled a little in my heart, since we will continue to be together, since they will abandon me, why bother to provoke me, and what to do with those unspeakable hardships?

Do you want me to sympathize with him and pity him, and then make me feel guilty for misunderstanding him and giving up on him?

But I didn't show a smile, I just calmly told him, "Whatever happened in your house, it's over, isn't it?" Now that it's over, people are looking at the future, don't look back on the past, you have also experienced family changes, I have also experienced a lot, we are more mature than before, treat Vereer and children well, maybe Vereer used to be a tool you used, but now it is different, you have children, they are already your family, treat your family well. ā€

After saying this, I was going to leave, but I just got up, Xu Zhizhou grabbed my arm: "I only have one question I want to ask you, and I won't dwell on it after I finish asking." ā€

"Just ask." I watched him quietly and stood still.

"You... Have you ever loved me? ā€

"I—" I couldn't answer the question for a moment.

Loved? No, after all, there is only one man I have ever loved, and he has always hidden it in his heart and can't linger.

So I pursed my lips and said bluntly, "I've liked you, but that's not love." ā€

Hearing this, Xu Zhizhou finally let go of my hand, and I continued to leave here with my steps.

In fact, I don't want to see him unhappy, but after all, the only answer I can give is that sentence, after all, I really haven't loved it, some just like it.

When I stepped on the heavy snow and walked for about 20 minutes, I suddenly remembered that my bag was still in the western restaurant, and there was still my ID in the bag.

I could only curse a few words in my heart, and then head back along the road to pick up my bag.

When I stood in the doorway and looked through the glass window, I suddenly stopped.

I saw that Xu Zhizhou was still sitting in his original position, and a foreign woman was sitting opposite him holding a child and breastfeeding.

It was Vereer, his wife and children.

I don't know why, my heart suddenly felt a little flustered, and I was a little overwhelmed when I stood at the door.

He looked at Vereer's eyes as cold as he did two years ago, but just after Vereer finished breastfeeding, Xu Zhizhou took the child, and he held her in his arms, but his eyes became extremely gentle.

It seems that he will be a loving father, and whatever attitude and affection he may have towards Vermeer, at least in his treatment of his own children, he will pour all his love into it.

It's just that Vermeer suddenly looked in the direction of the door, and then looked at Xu Zhizhou without knowing what to say, he immediately looked at me.

Since they were all seen, there was no reason to stand still here, so I had to gently push the door open, stand in front of Xu Zhizhou, point to the bag next to him and say: "I didn't want to disturb your family fun, I just want to get my bag back, thank you Mr. Xu for your hospitality today, if I have the opportunity to go to Yangcheng in the future, I will also treat you with courtesy." ā€

When the words fell, I didn't wait for Xu Zhizhou to say anything, just nodded to Vermeer, took the bag and left.

When I turned around, I heard Vermeer whisper to Xu Zhizhou in Chinese: "Husband, the annual meeting is about to start, my parents-in-law have arrived, let's hurry up." ā€

I shook my head and quickened my pace to walk out.
