Gao Xue picked up the red wine glass in front of her and drank it in one gulp.
"Are you still drinking red wine at this late hour?"
Gao Xue took down the wine glass before answering her question.
"Drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed at night can help you sleep, you can try it.
Sometimes I try to put myself in their shoes and it seems that it is not difficult to understand their thoughts.
Think about how powerful their current families are and how rich their property is.
For a family like this, if they want to marry a daughter-in-law, they naturally hope that she can help them develop and get better and better.
But what’s the use of marrying me?”
"Sister, even if they think so, how can you stand in their shoes and think the same way as they do?
You have been led into their strange circle!
For Song Nan, isn't happiness more important?
Don’t you also feel that you are meaningless compared to other women?”
Gao Xue's eyes were a little confused, which made Shen Yan very anxious.
What she was most afraid of at the beginning was that Gao Xue would be hurt in this relationship - the identity gap between the two of them was really too big.
Although she is the same as Fang Yin, because it is herself, she knows how much she loves Fang Yin, so she is not afraid of getting hurt.
But when it came to her best friend, she didn't think so.
She knew it from the beginning of their relationship. She was afraid of watching Gao Xue sink day by day, but she was also afraid that she would not be happy.
"Of course I don't think so, but sometimes I unconsciously feel pessimistic.
Yanyan, you know me, although I have always been strong-willed, I have never liked a boy so much.
I really want to go to the end with Song Nan.
But just because my desire is so strong, I am afraid that in the end I will just draw water from a bamboo basket and achieve nothing!"
Even through the video, Shen Yan could feel Gao Xue's urgency.
Perhaps it was also because of the recent attitude of Song Nan's family that she felt such an obvious gap.
Just like others never ask her what her parents' attitude is.
From the day she chose to be with Song Nan, it was destined that her parents and her would be the first consideration.
It would be fine if it was just her, but this involves her family members.
She felt a headache when she thought about her and Song Nan's future.
She couldn't help but reach for the wine glass again, but it was already empty.
"Okay, sister, don't drink anymore. One cup helps you sleep, but two cups will cause insomnia."
Shen Yan looked at her worriedly. She had already drank a whole glass of red wine just now.
She didn't know if she had drank it before. If she drank it again, she would really not be able to sleep.
"Okay, let's just listen to the smoke, I won't drink anymore.
Shen Yan, how did you deal with your emotions before?
Just...when you feel the gap between you, how should you deal with it when the time comes?"
Gao Xue seemed to be drunk, and even started gesticulating with his hands.
"I used to really feel like I was omnipotent."
Gao Xue hasn't had such a frustrated mood for a long time.
Since she entered the workplace as an adult, she has been well appreciated in the company because of her outstanding abilities.
Like other graduates, she doesn't have the anxiety of finding a job or the work pressure in the workplace.
Whenever she encounters a problem, she is always eager to give it a try.
For her, those are challenges, just like breaking through a level.
But emotionally it was completely different. For the first time, Gao Xue felt powerless.
"You know what? I really don't want to cause trouble to Song Nan anymore because of my family and status as an ordinary person.
But what can I do?
I can't restart my life and be reincarnated into a wealthy family, right?
I love my parents very much and I don't think they have done anything wrong.
I feel that I am very lucky to be born in such a family!
But faced with such a problem, I really don’t know how to solve it?
I don’t want this to continue, but I have no choice.”
Gao Xue's eyes were already moist.
For her, the saddest thing was seeing Song Nan with such a headache, but she couldn't do anything to help.
"Sister, you are so strong!
Have you ever thought that this is a matter between you and Song Nan?
He doesn't need you to support him alone.
You should test your inner anxiety and communicate it with Song Nan. You two are lovers and very loving people.
Apart from uncle and aunt, you two are the closest people, what can't you say?"
This is the biggest problem with Gaoxue.
She keeps everything in her heart, and she always feels that she can solve it. If she can't solve it, then she is useless.
"Why……
Sister, do you remember? When you were little, you were obviously not much taller than me, but when you met the fat guy from the street next door who bullied me, you always stopped in front of me.
But obviously you can't beat him. I said I wanted to tell my parents, but you always told me not to say it.
Say you can beat him next time.
Although you did defeat the little fat guy the third time.
But you yourself were also injured, and later you were scolded by your uncle and aunt. Have you forgotten that?
Do you still remember what your uncle and aunt told you at that time?"
Gao Xue bit her lower lip. Of course she remembered what her parents said at that time.
That was the first class she took as a child.
"My parents said that if you can't solve something yourself, you should remember to find someone close to you.
No one exists alone in this world.
Everyone has his own friends, his own family, and his own lover, and there is no need to force himself to face everything."
This is what Shen Yan really wants to say to her.
If he hadn't called her today, Gao Xue would never have thought of contacting her and telling her his inner difficulties.
Gao Xue always perseveres and overcomes all difficulties on his own.
But when a person is depressed for a long time, bigger problems will arise.
Shen Yan was even more worried about Gao Xue because he knew this.
"You have to believe in Song Nan, he definitely has the ability and capital to solve the problem.
He will always be waiting in front of you, sister."
Shen Yan said this precisely because he and Song Nan were also good friends.
This is because she knows the character of these two people, so she can rest assured that they are together.
Even if Song Nan's family is unwilling to accept his sister in the end, he will never let her be wronged.
After hearing what you said, Gao Xue became even more confused.
She thought that what she said to Song Nan would become a burden to her, and she was most afraid of causing trouble to others.
Even if that person is your lover.
"Sister, you have to be brave for the future of both of you.
Don't be afraid, I will still be behind you if anything happens."
Gao Xue clenched her fingers, Shen Yan's words gave her great courage.
She knew what she had to do.
"Don't worry, I will have a good talk with him after he finishes his work."
Shen Yan nodded, feeling relieved now.
"Don't be afraid, just tell me if anything happens.
Next time, don’t wait for me to find you. Wait until I ask you before you are willing to tell me what happened, okay?”
Gao Xue also nodded obediently.
"Okay, let's take a rest."
Today's phone call was unexpected.
Taking a look at the time, it was almost ten o'clock. Shen Yan thought that Fang Yin should be done with her work, so she hung up the phone after listening to her words.
After this phone call, Shen Yan felt relieved.
She stretched and went to the kitchen to get two glasses of milk, ready to share them with Fang Yin.
She believes that after communication, the relationship between the two people will be more stable.
After Gao Xue hung up the phone, he hung down, rested his hands on the sofa, and lowered his head not knowing what he was thinking.
It's one thing for her to agree, but it's another problem to actually say it.
What Gao Xue didn't notice was that Song Nan had been standing there in the shadow that she didn't see.
I don't know when I heard the conversation between her and Shen Yan.
Of course Song Nan didn't mean to eavesdrop on their phone calls, but this matter involved the future of the two of them.
He wanted to know whether Gao Xue had the confidence and desire to go on with him.
What he has been most afraid of is that Gao Xue has never even thought about their future.
But from this phone call, he also learned what Gao Xue had been worried about.
So is Gao Xue also afraid? Is he afraid that the two of them will be separated?
It turns out that Gao Xue has always cared about himself.
After knowing this, Song Nan was very happy.
"What are you thinking about?"
Even if she was afraid that she would not come out again, she would remain in this position until dawn.
"Hmm?! It scared me to death. Why did you suddenly appear?"
Gao Xue's tone was very panicked.
She didn't know if he heard the conversation with Shen Yan just now, and if so, how much he heard.
Seeing that she was really confused and confused, Song Nan didn't want to force her at this time.
He would have to stay with Gaoxue for a few days after all, and the two of them still had time to deal with this matter.
Have time to sit down and talk slowly.
"Have you finished drinking this glass of red wine? Then wash up quickly and go to bed."
Gao Xue was like a robot that moved when it heard instructions. He only reacted after hearing Song Nan's words.
"Oh, yes, I was just about to brush my teeth. I have already drank this glass of red wine. If you want to drink it, please pour me another glass!"
The two of them originally drank that glass of red wine together.
He did not expect that Gao Xue drank the entire glass of wine while he was still busy in the study.
"Then no need.
Just drink it and go wash up quickly, I'm a little tired now."
Hearing Song Nan say he was tired, Gao Xue stopped lingering and rushed to the bathroom to wash up, letting him in after a minute.
By the time the two of them had finished cleaning up and sat on a small double bed, an hour had passed.
"……you."
"……you--"
Two people spoke and stopped at the same time.
"You go ahead and say it."
"You go ahead and say it."
The two of them didn't expect such a mistake, so they both laughed.
In the end, Song Nan held Gao Xue's hand in her own.
"Okay, don't argue with me, just talk first."
Gao Xue nodded, but she still needed to think about it. For her, confessing these words was tantamount to being naked in front of him.
It takes a lot of courage.
""You think about me this time because those people don't like me yet, right?"
Gao Xue finally asked this question bluntly.
When she didn't get Song Nan's answer, she felt like a stone had been lifted from her heart.
My body suddenly felt relaxed.
"I didn't lie to you, I told you the truth.
They can't say anything about whether I like her or not. They simply don't want me to find an ordinary girl.
They want me to be someone else's daughter, but to me, you are my daughter - "
After hearing this, Gao Xue's eyes immediately curled up.
But I soon put it down again.
"Did you have a conflict with your family because of this matter?"
This time Song Nan did not nod but asked her, "Have you never had any conflicts with your family in all these years of your life?"
Gao Xue thought for a long time, and finally shook his head gently.
"My parents respect me, and they are different from other parents. If they do something wrong, they will also apologize to me?"
This was something Song Nan had never heard of.
"I'm sorry", these three words seemed to be sealed from his parents' mouths.
Or sometimes, his parents have compromised, but they just refuse to give in.
She had never heard such three simple words from their mouths.
Gao Xue is most happy to have such a pair of enlightened parents who love him.
Thinking of this, Gao Xue missed her parents a little.
Since she came to City C to work hard, even the time she spends in contact with them has been greatly reduced.
Only talk to them when you are relaxed.
"I probably have to take a weekend to go home. I haven't seen them for a long time."
Gao Xue muttered, and Song Nan immediately sounded the alarm when he heard it. Doesn't this mean that they might play around?
"In short, my problem is that they can't stretch their hands that far. After all, you are the most important person to me. I don't allow them to stretch their hands on you."
Song Nan kept her word, and it was only from that day that Gao Xue realized that sometimes she didn't need to think about something completely independently.
They are lovers, they should share each other's burdens and support each other going forward.
"You have to tell me if you are unhappy in the future, do you understand?
I will always stand in front of you, no matter what happens."
Gao Xue looked at him with extremely moving eyes. This was what she had always dreamed of.
