Chapter 1: The afterglow of your inadvertent look back easily defeated the embankment that I thought was strong, broke the surging emotional tide of this river, and followed you with the endless persistence that flew nine kilometers across the mountains.

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, as low as running water in a cave.
"If I ask you to give me another chance, will you agree to it?"
His voice was filled with deep expectation and nostalgia, as if coming slowly from the end of time, plucking the fragile string in Xiaotian's heart.
Her footsteps stopped in place, and clear tears welled up in her eyes, "We have left all our memories in the past, how can we start over?"
The kitten she cherished finally disappeared from her memory. She remembered the red heart on its chest, which was as red as blood.
After Xiaotian finished speaking, he ran quickly to Yan Tianluo. He hurriedly opened the car, protected her and said, "Go and change clothes and tidy up soon. If your elder brother sees it, he will scold me."
Xiaotian got into the car, lowered his head and said to Yan Tianluo: "Brother Tianluo, don't embarrass him. It was he who saved me from Ye Hen."
Yan Tianluo shrugged: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Xiaotian was relieved and sat down steadily.
Xia Tianluo got into the car, sat next to her, and ordered the driver to start the vehicle.
A motorcade then drove toward the highway in front of them, moving slowly like a black dragon.
Through the rearview mirror of the car, Xiaotian watched the figure under the tree getting further and further away, from clear to blurry, and then from blurry to a black dot. She couldn't see his expression, but she could imagine him.
The loneliness and sadness at this time.
She said softly in her heart: "Goodbye, Pingzhi."
Goodbye means never seeing you again.
When Xiaotian returned to Lengzhai, Nie Ronghua had already received the news and was waiting there.
Seeing that she was back intact and happy, Mother Liu suddenly smiled and stood at the door and said: "Miss Cousin, you are finally back. Madam has asked you many times this morning."
Xiaotian blinked at her, then kicked his shoes casually and rushed into the living room barefoot. Liu's mother held up her slippers and shouted after her: "Miss Cousin, the ground is cold, don't get cold."
Mother Liu smiled bitterly. The eldest lady in their family still had such a stupid temper. She was very willful at first, but she was pretty good to her servants. Because of Qiu Mo, Mother Liu also had prejudice against her, but later she saw them
She felt relieved when her sister-in-law got along so harmoniously.
Xiaotian hugged Nie Ronghua's neck and said coquettishly: "Mom, I miss you so much."
Nie Ronghua pretended to be angry and clicked her forehead, saying: "You still know that when you come back, you are really a female college student. You only know how to run around outside. It would be strange if your brother doesn't scold you when he comes back."
Nie Ronghua only thought that she was playing outside and had no idea that she had gone through so many twists and turns.
"Mom, when my elder brother scolds me, you have to speak up for me. Mom loves me the most." Xiaotian rubbed his face against hers in a clingy manner.
"I won't intercede with you. You should be taught a lesson." Nie Ronghua said this, but when he saw Leng Xiao coming back, he immediately shielded Xiaotian with a smile: "Son
, Xiaotian finally came back, let’s eat first.”
Leng Xiao walked over slowly and handed the coat to Liu's mother. He looked at Xiaotian in front of him and wondered how much she had suffered in the past few days. Seeing how thin her little face had become, he said sadly: "
I’ll ask a nutritionist to check on you later and replenish your body.”
When Xiaotian saw Leng Xiao, she suddenly felt aggrieved and tears were about to come to her eyes. She thought of Pingzhi, Qiu Mo, and what she had experienced in the past few days...
"Brother Xiao." She threw herself into Leng Xiao's arms and burst into tears.
She could still control herself in front of Nie Ronghua, but in front of Leng Xiao, she could no longer control herself and vented all her grievances with tears.
Leng Xiao hugged her, patted her back gently, and said comfortingly: "It's okay, brother will never let anyone hurt you again."
Nie Ronghua, who was listening on the side, thought that the two siblings had a good relationship and the younger sister was acting coquettishly with her older brother, so he didn't pay attention. He called to Axiu and said, "Axiu, let's start dinner."
It had been a long time since Xiaotian had eaten such a good meal, so he ate without caring about his image.
"Miss Cousin, your appetite is gradually increasing." Axiu happily served her a third bowl of rice.
While eating, she said: "Because Axiu's cooking is delicious."
Axiu blushed and said, "My cousin is making fun of me again."
"Okay, okay, you don't look like a lady when you eat. We are from a wealthy family. If you go out, it will represent your brother's image."
Nie Ronghua tapped the edge of her bowl with chopsticks. Xiaotian immediately restrained herself and began to chew slowly.
"Son, don't blame mom for being nagging. In a few days it will be the birthday of Qianqian, your daughter from Murong Shibo's family. Out of etiquette, we should also attend, don't you think?" Nie Ronghua brought up the old matter again,
Although she held the possibility of being ignored by Leng Xiao, she still refused to give up.
"Okay, I'll let the secretary arrange the time. As for the gifts, Wen Shang will help me choose them." Leng Xiao's tone was flat, with no expression on his face.
Nie Ronghua never expected that Leng Xiao would agree, and he was so happy that he didn't even eat, "Okay, okay, I already told Qian Qian that girl is beautiful, generous, and full of knowledge. She is the daughter-in-law of our Leng family."
The best candidate, you guys eat first, I’ll go back and have people prepare it.”
Nie Ronghua stood up hurriedly and said to Leng Xiaotian, who looked confused: "Xiaotian, go to Mom's place in the afternoon and accompany her to buy some beautiful clothes."
Xiaotian nodded, "Okay."
After sending Nie Ronghua away, only Leng Xiao and Xiaotian were left at the dinner table.
Xiaotian no longer had any appetite. Seeing Leng Xiao still eating as if nothing had happened, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xiao, if you really want to go, isn't it just a blind date?"
Leng Xiao didn't raise his eyebrows, took a mouthful of green vegetables and hummed.
Xiaotian was immediately furious and raised his eyebrows, feeling quite aggrieved by Qiu Mo: "If Qiu Mo finds out about this, she will be sad."
Leng Xiao finally put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at her with eyes as deep as the sea, and said, "I hope no one will mention this name in front of me again."
He stood up and was about to leave, but Xiaotian grabbed him from behind. She didn't understand what was going on between them. They were so good friends before. She had never seen Leng Xiao be so infatuated with any woman, but why suddenly?
It changed over time, he no longer regarded her as the only one, and said in such a cold and ruthless tone that he didn't want to hear her name again.
She felt pain in her heart, and the hand holding his sleeve became a little tighter.
"Qiu Mo threatened Ye Hen with death for me. We all owe her, how could you still say such a thing?"
Leng Xiao had no expression on his face, gently brushed her hand away, and said, "I will remember this kindness for you, and I will definitely repay you one day."
After saying that, he walked towards the second floor without looking back.
Xiaotian stood there in a daze, and the delicacies on the table suddenly became tasteless.
How could it be like this?
Shouldn't lovers eventually get married?
Although they clearly love each other deeply, they still torture each other, one wave after another. If this is love, she feels like a small boat in the waves. She doesn't know when she will be swallowed by the waves.
She sat down slowly, falling into endless panic and sadness.
