He immediately understood that the two of them must have had some compelling reasons.
He held back his laughter and breathed a sigh of relief, and said sincerely: "I have watched you two children grow up all the way. Whether it was the previous marriage or the things we experienced after the divorce... which one is ordinary?"
"If we were to separate, where would we be today?"
"Since both parties have feelings, don't waste time on unimportant people. Otherwise, you will regret not cherishing them now if you really miss too much in the future."
These are both comfort and advice from people who have experienced it.
A person may meet many people in his life, but there is only one that he can keep in his heart forever and want to live with for the rest of his life.
Lu Qiming finished speaking instructively while drinking tea. He looked at the two young people opposite who were still silent and said the last thing.
"Emotions are your own. Even if others are willing to match you, there is very little they can do. The most important thing is to look at yourself."
As long as they want to be together, nothing can defeat them.
Lu Qiming said no more. After taking the last sip of tea, he narrowed his eyes and planned to leave, "I also made an appointment to play chess. You two... let's have a good chat."
After saying that, he left directly regardless of their reaction.
In the suddenly quiet box, Gu Nian could even hear her and Lu Shiqian's breathing.
The frequency is not consistent, one is deep and the other is shallow.
But it's all messy.
Awkward time is like still water, passing too slowly.
Gu Nian felt a scorching gaze resting on her body. Her heart was getting hotter and more uncomfortable. What she wanted to say turned around in her heart several times and finally came out of her mouth.
"Are you...how are you lately?"
Lu Shiqian looked at her almost motionless, as if he was afraid that the person would disappear at any time, and whispered: "It's okay."
He lives well every day.
Because I still have Yu Bao to take care of, not just me.
Gu Nian nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then said a few words, "It feels like you have lost a lot of weight. Your body is more important."
"Um."
Lu Shiqian didn't seem to want to discuss this with her, so he changed the topic.
"How is Lin Yichen's physical condition now?"
He was also curious in his heart. It had been such a long time, so that man should be much better...
He just hoped that Lin Yichen would get better soon.
Gu Nian held the tea cup with both hands. This action seemed to relieve some of the discomfort.
She lowered her head and took a sip. The aroma of tea and a hint of obscurity filled her mouth and slid down her throat. "It's much better now. He can walk normally now and he should be fully recovered in a short time."
After Lu Shiqian heard what she said, he finally felt a little happy in his heart.
Now that Lin Yichen's body is almost recovering, will Nian Nian be back soon?
This is more effective than any magic elixir for him.
Almost instantly, all the discomfort disappeared.
"Then you are in the hospital every day now, Yaobao..."
"He's fine."
Gu Nian took half of what he said as an answer, then pushed the teacup further away, then reached for the bag on the chair next to him, "I may have to go back first...Lin Yichen is still waiting for me."
She and Lin Yichen haven't made it clear yet, but now...
It would not be good if it accidentally reached Lin Yichen's ears.
Lu Shiqian looked at her blankly. The wound on his heart that had just healed was stabbed twice more. The hands on his knees clenched repeatedly and finally hung down.
"Okay... you go first."
He couldn't bear it any longer.
When Lin Yichen fully recovers and Niannian resolves her dispute with him, she can return to her side.
Moreover, during this time, he also found out some strange things about the day of the cliff accident...
He darkened his eyes and did not tell Gu Nian.
Although Gu Nian was walking out, her eyes were always paying attention to the sad and forbearing look on his face. Even though she was reluctant to leave, she had no choice but to leave with firm steps.
She told herself that she could not look back.
If she looked back...why would she be willing to leave?
Finally, the door of the box slowly closed, as if two worlds were separated for an instant.
…
After Gu Nian came out of the teahouse, she walked aimlessly for a distance and was not in a hurry to return to the hospital.
Lin Yichen's situation is now completely stable, and he can even take care of most things in life by himself. If not, there are still caregivers and nurses around, so she doesn't need to keep an eye on him all the time.
The most important thing is... Gu Nian feels that he can't face it.
She didn't know why, but since Lin Yichen woke up, she felt like she couldn't get along with him.
But there was no way to stay and reminisce with Lu Shiqian.
She... didn't want to see him sad.
There was no way to respond to Lu Shiqian's strong feelings.
Where to go?
After wandering around for a long time, Gu Nian finally reached the parking lot and prepared to drive home directly.
Maybe she really needed some quiet private space to clear her mind and explain what she should do next to Lin Yichen.
These all need to be thought about carefully.
When I returned to my residence, I opened the door and saw Yao Bao alone in the living room, holding a tablet and scratching something.
"Mommy, are you back?"
Yao Bao raised his head and glanced at her, then looked back at the tablet in his hand.
Gu Nian hummed absent-mindedly, put down her bag, walked directly to the sofa, lay down on it as far away as possible, and sighed helplessly.
She raised one hand to her forehead and closed her eyes.
The recent events were a mess, crowded in her mind without any clue at all, as if the purpose was to crush her brain, and it was of no use except being irritated.
She couldn't find any solution.
Whether it's Lin Yichen or Lu Shiqian.
It seems to have become a dead knot that cannot be untied.
Yao Bao was playing a Sudoku game and felt there was no movement at all. He turned his head curiously and saw his mother lying on the sofa with a sad look on her face.
Mommy hasn’t smiled for a long time...
Yao Bao now fully understands that mommy actually prefers to be with daddy.
Although Daddy often made Mommy angry, he would not be unhappy every day like now. Moreover, he had also noticed in these days that the feeling between her and Uncle Lin was also strange.
Although Yao Bao doesn't know what adults are thinking, he can observe mommy's emotions very well.
He suddenly remembered the image of Mommy often holding Daddy's photos in a daze during this period, and his big eyes suddenly turned.
If that's the case, why do you still have to separate from daddy?
Yao Bao felt a little confused about the reason, but he understood what Mommy was thinking... Mommy just wanted to be with Daddy!
Of course, we must try our best to help mommy!
He doesn't care about anything else!
As long as it makes mommy happy!
Yao Bao glanced at Mommy on the sofa, put down the tablet and ran back to his room.
He closed the door quietly and sat down on the beanbag.
Yao Bao figured out a few not-so-good ideas and suddenly had an idea.
