The temperature of the milk is just right, and the moment it reaches the tip of the tongue, it is a sweet and silky feeling. Since high school, he has stopped drinking milk.

In his current state of "no man and no ghost", he seems to have no other choice but to accept.

The moment the milk was swallowed, a sense of guilt came over me.

She was still drinking milk and growing taller, and he was eighteen years old. He has never disliked everything about himself, even the most disdainful life experience of others, he feels that it is nothing. Everything that fate gave him, it was the best, and he accepted it, even if he endured hardships, it was regarded as a practice.

In the past thirty years, the only thing that has made him feel helpless is his age that he cannot change.

If he was a little smaller, or if she was a little older, he would dare to like her.

But he didn't dare, he didn't dare to selfishly gamble his life with his likes, and he didn't dare to let her regret choosing love in the future, but he couldn't give her the best life.

He's still a coward.

Seeing Chen Ji'an's worried look, Lin Zhaowan patted him on the shoulder: "Chen Ji'an, can you tell me something?" I can help you, I'm your girlfriend now. ”

Unexpectedly, he was expressionless, and replied with a snort: "You are a fake girlfriend." ”

"......" The smile on the corner of her mouth froze, the straight man was really hopeless.

But he owes it, but it's true.

Lin Zhaowan no longer hid his thoughts, and said bluntly: "Chen Ji'an, did you quarrel with Uncle Chen for my business?" ”

The second sister went behind his back to tell the informant again, and Chen Ji'an let go of the crumpled straw that had been bitten, one head and two big.

In the past, his heart could be chewed and swallowed by himself, and no one would know, even if his heart was noisy like a world war, he could clean up the battlefield and pretend that nothing happened. But now, there are more and more people around him, and everyone wants to help him share the burden, but he can't adapt.

He asked, "What about you?" ”

She was stunned: "What am I?" ”

He turned his head and told her all the words in his heart seriously: "Lin Zhaowan, why do you want to help us do so many things? If it's because you feel that the Chu family owes us, and you want to make up for us, you've done enough. ”

He looked at her innocent face, staring at her big watery eyes, as if he didn't feel like he had done anything wrong.

Actually, he wasn't blaming her......

This made Chen Ji'an embarrassed to say it, he didn't overdo it, and took a deep breath: "You don't owe us, don't do these things anymore, we are not related, I don't want to trouble you." ”

"But ......" paused, he didn't want to hurt her heart, and added with a low brow, "I still want to thank you for doing so many things for Sui'an Town and doing so many things for us." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to drink milk. He couldn't look at her compatible eyes, and those two hearts that couldn't be more pure would sooner or later make him no longer able to resist stubbornly.

The fire burned his heart red for half the sky, and the water was so bright that he couldn't ignore her careful courage and beauty, which he couldn't turn a blind eye to. How determined must she be to approach a man like him who froze like ice again and again, without hesitation?

But Lin Zhaowan couldn't guess his thoughts, and could only see the indifferent detachment on his face. It turned out that he just wanted to push her away and draw a line with her.

She felt his obvious resistance, whether it was her in the past or her now, she was probably pushed away by him who was not indifferent but politely distant, right?

She suppressed the feeling of loss, bit her lip, and spoke cautiously: "Was I a coward before?" As soon as I was rejected, I ran back and gave up? ”

He didn't answer, she also knew that Chen Ji'an had too many things in his heart, and his personality was cautious and gentle, although he couldn't speak straighter. But in fact, he always wants to do things to the extreme, and he will not take the initiative to ask for credit, but he is often the one who suffers the most.

The more she glimpsed his difficulties in the pace of time, the more she unconsciously felt sorry for him when she took two steps and turned around.

It would be nice if she could remember the past, but now she can only touch the river blindly and enter his heart little by little.

It does not matter.

Lin Zhaowan couldn't do it in the past, but Lin Zhaowan can't do it now. A little further on, and a lamp would surely light up on the dark riverside, and she would be able to enter his heart.

She plucked up her courage and let go of the lip flap that had been bitten out by her teeth, she turned her head and expressed her heart to him with the heart of a most sincere girl: "Chen Ji'an, I must have liked you very much before, right?" I like it, every time I do something for you, it's as if another soul is telling me that I do it willingly, and she's so stupid...... It's not cool to be a behind-the-scenes hero. ”

She smiled, and then the courage continued: "I am willing to do everything for the person I like, and I don't need you to find a way to pay me back. Chen Ji'an, you should be like a man, calmly accept my likes and my good. Writhing and pinching, you're not cool at all. ”

Now that they're adults, don't push and shove things around. If we could separate in the past, we wouldn't be entangled in the present.

She didn't believe it, he didn't feel anything for her.

Chen Ji'an didn't expect her to be so eloquent now, and when she was told about it, he couldn't find an excuse to refute it.

His mind was full of what she had told him before, words that he had ignored—

"What if I grow up? If I had the determination and courage to do what I wanted to do, would you support me? ”

"If I don't want to call you Brother Ji An anymore, I want to call you Chen Ji'an, is that okay?"

"I don't like to see other girls around you, they are mature and beautiful. Even if I take off my school uniform, I'm still immature, even if I work hard to grow up, I still don't have a stable job and career, I can't afford to buy a big house, what will I do to support the person I like in the future? ”

At that time, he was still comforting her, everyone has their own shining point, what age is what they look like, let her not be too anxious about what will happen when she grows up.

It turned out that was the girl's mind, but unfortunately he was slow and cold, and he only knew that it was best for her to turn a blind eye. But I don't know that turning a blind eye and can't help but get close is the most cruel.

So this time, he still has to continue to hesitate and dare not take that step?

Yu Boluo once scolded him: "If you can't completely reconcile with this girl, don't be nice to others while rejecting her, it will only hurt her." You let her fall deeper and deeper like this, and one day you tell people that you are going to get married, and she will have to go crazy if she doesn't die. ”。

He's right, he shouldn't blur the lines of the relationship anymore.
