The battle between Ankang and Wu Mo is about to break out. However, this high-profile battle has been postponed by the arrival of the Spring Festival.

The important challenge faced by Ankang, who returned to Shanghai after the Chinese New Year in his hometown, did not come from Wu Mo, but from his girlfriend Liu Xinran.

On the day Liu Xinran returned to Shanghai, Ankang originally planned to pick her up at the airport, but Liu Xinran said that because this time she came with relatives who came to Shanghai to play, it was a little inconvenient.

In the next few days, Ankang made several appointments, but Liu Xinran still said that he was accompanying his relatives and had no time to see him.

"Don't you even have time to eat or talk?" Ankang was a little unhappy.

"It's rare for relatives to come to Shanghai and leave in a few days. We'll meet again when they're gone. Liu said happily on the other end of the phone.

A few days later, Liu Xinran took the initiative to call Ankang to meet him. About a café near my home.

"A café near your house? Why don't you go to your house? Ankang asked.

"The café environment is better." Liu happily explained.

Ankang thinks this is obviously just a pretext. Because when he proposed to go to the café in the past, Liu happily dragged him to his home, enjoying the joy of fish and water while talking about life. Both the spirit and the body can be nourished.

And just going back for a year, the situation seems to be completely different from before.

When Ankang arrived at the café, he saw Liu Xinran, who was sitting alone in a corner, and his expression was very lonely.

"What's wrong with you? The face is so bad? An Kang walked over and asked.

"You...... Sit across from me. Liu happily pointed across the table.

This is a not-so-good sign. An Kang was stunned, sat down opposite Liu Xinran, and silently waited for Liu Xinran to speak. Obviously, Liu Xinran must have something important to say to him today.

Ankang seemed to see the tears in Yoo Xinran's eyes, but he wasn't sure if he was wrong.

"Ankang, do you think the two of us are suitable?" These were the first words that Liu Xinran said after Ankang sat down.

Sure enough, it is an important word.

Ankang asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I didn't have a good time when I went back to my hometown for the New Year this time, and I thought about it every day. I really don't know what I'm going to do. ”

Ankang thought for a moment and said, "Just tell me what you really think." ”

"Actually, Wen Qianqian has never accepted you as a person, and you know that. She also kept saying that the two of us were not very suitable, that there were too many differences between us. Of course, the main difference between us is economic. Right? ”

An Kang nodded.

"I didn't think it was a problem, but over the last few months I've come to see it more and more. It's not just a question of having money or not, it's a question of people's values. Of course, I'm not saying that your values are bad, but that the two of us have conflicting values. ”

"I can understand that. I am also very grateful that you have been considerate of me. You haven't worn nice clothes or carried a decent bag with me......"

"No...... These are just external, and I don't mind. Moreover, it was all of my own volition. It's just that I think there are some things related to the realm. Do you understand? I am afraid that the word realm will hurt your self-esteem, but it is indeed the word realm that best expresses my meaning. ”

Ankang understands that in fact, "realm" is not the word that can best express Liu Xinran's meaning, and a more accurate word should be "vision". It's just that the word vision hurts even more.

"I see. You're telling me this today, you're asking me to break up, right? An Kang stared at Liu Xinran's eyes and asked.

Liu Xinran lowered her eyes and was silent.

In the past few days, Ankang has faintly felt that Liu Xinran is avoiding himself. Just like analyzing an investment project, Ankang has made a binary tree analysis model of the current situation, analyzing which situation Liu Xinran is most likely to be in and where he is likely to develop in the future.

Now, in front of him was a scene he had envisioned. Although he had rehearsed the progress of the matter and was mentally prepared, it was still difficult for him to accept that what he expected became a reality.

The two men were silent face to face across the table.

After a while, Yoo happily began to sob.

An Kang looked at Liu Xinran in a daze for a while, then took out a tissue and handed it over. Liu Xinran took the tissue and blew her nose vigorously, raised her head and said to An Kang: "Kang, I actually don't want to break up with you, but the reality is too cruel." When I came home for the Spring Festival, I told my dad about you, and my dad said that he was self-made back then. The process was difficult and painful, and the family was greatly affected. He didn't want his daughter and her family to go through the same pain. So ......"

"I understand." An Kang said lightly. He wanted to say something more, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Poverty is not a fault, but it is not something that can be honored with dignity.

Perhaps the ignorant Liu Xinran has no personal experience of poverty, but it is clear that her father and her best friend have an unforgettable fear of poverty.

Liu Xinran once told Ankang about Wen Qianqian's story. Because of her poor family, Wen Qianqian once endured the humiliation of her childhood. Her parents, perhaps out of a kind of compensatory mentality, made their Cinderella the happiest princess in the world when the family got better. Wen Qianqian's parents not only did not stop Wen Qianqian's profligacy, but also encouraged her from time to time.

Wen Qianqian's attitude towards Ankang can be traced back to the root of the Ankang not for Ankang, but for the label on Ankang - poverty. Whenever An Kang appeared in front of Wen Qianqian, it seemed to bring back many unpleasant memories of her. And those fragments are what Wen Qianqian is trying to clear from her mind.

And Liu Xinran's father, as an entrepreneur, has experienced more pain than Wen Qianqian.

Liu Xinran once thought that she could bridge the gap between the rich and the poor, but the pressure is increasing day by day. She also hoped to gain strength and comfort from the union with Ankang, but not only did the pressure not dissipate, but she followed the devil like a shadow, and once she found an opportunity, she would strongly backlash, making Liu Xinran even more painful.

Being with Ankang is naturally happy, but this happiness comes at the cost of pain. Is this exchange worth it? Liu Xinran didn't know.

After the Spring Festival left Ankang for a short time at home, Liu Xinran's balance tilted, tilting in the direction that she was unwilling and helpless.

In fact, Liu Xinran returned to Shanghai from her hometown this time, and she didn't have any relatives to come with her. She has been staying with Wen Qianqian for the past few days, receiving Wen Qianqian's persuasion.

She asked Ankang to come out to meet because she had made the final decision.
