Nothing happened at this so-called reception feast.

It has been more than twenty-four hours since Liu Xinyu returned to China after landing in the capital, but this meal allowed her to truly taste authentic Chinese food that she had not tasted in four years, so she ate very happily. If it weren't for her extraordinary control ability, she would have

Maybe I'm full.

After coming out of the hotel, Liu Xinyu couldn't help but stop, looked back at the half-dark and half-brightly lit courtyard, and sighed in her heart. Although the trusteeship agreement before going abroad specified the trusteeship time, she wanted to take back the courtyard, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do so.

so easy.

How to deal with the courtyard, let's wait until she comes back from her hometown.

Hu Xuemei proposed to sit in the cafe of Beijing University. Liu Xinyu shook her head and said: "I won't go today. I have to catch the train back to my hometown tomorrow. We can make an appointment when I get back from my hometown."

Gu Jincheng hoped that Hu Xuemei could persist, but the result made him very disappointed.

After listening to Liu Xinyu's words, Hu Xuemei did not insist at all. Without saying a word, she nodded along with Liu Xinyu's wishes and said: "Okay, then we will wait until you come back to make an appointment. By that time, Jizhen will be out of confinement!"

Gu Jincheng could only watch helplessly as Liu Xinyu waved goodbye to everyone and walked away side by side with Zhang Hongliang who was returning to the hotel.

The hotel where Zhang Hongliang stayed was a few bus stops away, and the bus stop was just in the opposite direction of Beijing University, so you could walk along the way with Liu Xinyu.

Gu Jincheng silently watched Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang go away side by side, feeling sad and envious in his heart.

It was clear that Liu Xinyu and Zhang Hongliang had broken off their engagement, but they never expected that they could walk side by side with Liu Xinyu openly, and it would still be Zhang Hongliang and not him.

"They've all disappeared, why are you still looking at them? If you can't bear to leave, go and chase them!" Zhang Jiao's sour voice sounded beside him, which made Gu Jincheng very unhappy.

Hu Xuemei and Yang Nanzheng, who were standing aside talking quietly, both frowned. Can Zhang Jiao really hold Gu Jincheng down like this?

Even if Gu Jincheng has no interest in Liu Xinyu, Zhang Jiao always provokes Gu Jincheng from time to time. Gu Jincheng should also compare her with Liu Xinyu.

Zhang Jiao can be compared with Liu Xinyu in terms of ability, knowledge, appearance and temperament.

What's more, Gu Jincheng was already interested in Liu Xinyu.

Why is Zhang Jiao doing this? It’s so stupid to do this!

The two of them were about to say something to change the topic, but they saw Gu Jincheng turned around suddenly and stared at Zhang Jiao with a gloomy gaze. Zhang Jiao's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but retreat.

After two steps, his feet tilted, and he fell to the side with a "ouch" sound.

Fortunately, Yang Nanzheng was quick to help Zhang Jiao, so Zhang Jiao didn't suffer any further embarrassment. However, Zhang Jiao sprained her ankle due to this bend, and she was unable to walk or ride a bicycle.

Gu Jincheng had already taken two steps pushing the bicycle, but Hu Xuemei called him back.

Gu Jincheng is a male compatriot here. Zhang Jiao's feet are sprained and he can't walk. No matter how proud he is, he can't just leave. He can only ask Hu Xuemei and Yang Nanzheng to help Zhang Jiao get on his bicycle and carry Zhang Jiao on his back.

Go straight to Beijing University Hospital.

Of course Liu Xinyu didn't know any of this. She and Zhang Hongliang walked side by side to Changchun Lane at a walking pace.

It was really awkward at the beginning. Neither of them knew what to say. As they arrived at the door of Liu Xinyu's house, Zhang Hongliang finally summoned the courage to speak: "Xinyu, I... I want to ask you, if I can

If we are transferred back to the capital within a year, is there any hope between us..."

Liu Xinyu paused slightly and looked up at Zhang Hongliang, as if to make sure she heard correctly.

When Zhang Hongliang saw Liu Xinyu like this, the courage he had finally mustered up suddenly fell away.

His life in the past few years can be said to be very boring. Apart from studying and working, he has almost no extra spare time, let alone the idea of ​​developing a relationship.

It’s not that no one has pursued him, and it’s not that no one has protected him as a matchmaker, but no matter what the conditions of the woman are, there is only one person living in her heart, how can there be another person?

Since the breakup of his engagement with Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hongliang's love life has been blank, whether it was the year he was an exchange student in the United States, the year he returned to China after completing his exchange, or the two years he worked in Northwest China.

Since breaking off his engagement with Liu Xinyu, Zhang Hongliang has never returned to Wuxian except when the old lady at home passed away and went to attend a funeral. Even if Zhang Hongyun called him to tell him that Wu Qiaozhen was ill and hospitalized, he only sent 20 yuan home and never went back to take a look.

.

He didn't plan to go back when Zhang Hongyun got married this time. If Liu Xinyu hadn't happened to be going home, he would have just sent 20 yuan to Zhang Hongyun.

Even though the family members are now aware of the mistakes they made back then, the damage caused to him and Liu Xinyu has been indelible, making him unable to forgive or let go!

Of course, he resented himself even more. If he had been able to harden his heart and clarify his position and attitude with his family as he did now, he should be able to prepare for his wedding to Liu Xinyu now.

Liu Xinyu stood still in front of her door, turned around and looked at Zhang Hongliang seriously, her eyes were so calm that Zhang Hongliang felt chills all over, and she regretted her rash inquiry just now.

He was afraid that because of his previous inquiry, he would become strangers to Liu Xinyu from now on.

Obviously Liu Xinyu is almost six years younger than Zhang Hongliang, but under Liu Xinyu's gaze, Zhang Hongliang has the illusion that a child who has made mistakes is bathed in the stern gaze of his parents.

At this moment, Zhang Hongliang felt that his nerves were as fragile as a taut string, in danger of breaking at the slightest touch.

Liu Xinyu's gaze was so sharp that there was an invisible sense of oppression that made Zhang Hongliang's throat tighten and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. When he spoke again, his voice was dry and hoarse: "I..."

Liu Xinyu could sense and understand Zhang Hongliang's nervousness at this moment. She sighed softly and invited Zhang Hongliang into the room. She poured a glass of water for Zhang Hongliang, sat down opposite Zhang Hongliang, looked at Zhang Hongliang calmly and said: "Brother Zhang, I

I have just returned to China and have no plans to get married and start a family yet. You are not young anymore, if there is a suitable one..."

Before Liu Xinyu could finish her words, Zhang Hongliang quickly shook his head and said: "No, no, I don't mean to force you to get married and start a family. I...I like you!"

Finally feeling comfortable speaking out, Zhang Hongliang suddenly became less nervous and his words became more and more organized: "I admit that my engagement with you was really just to use you to get rid of the entanglements of Ma Li and others at the beginning.

After experiencing some things, I am really attracted to you.

I don’t know when I fell in love with you. Maybe you went to the machinery factory to clear my grievances regardless of past grudges. Maybe you helped me review and explain things to me. Maybe it was an inadvertent moment...

Anyway, I like you, very much.

It is not my wish to break off the engagement. I have also thought about forgetting you like this, but the more I want to forget, the more I cannot forget you.
Chapter completed!
