change

    “Mom.” Chi Nuan’s eyes tightened. She leaned her upper body forward to stop her, but was restrained by the needle. “Mom, what do you want to say to Teacher Song?”

    She knew Song Shixue’s personality couldn’t be changed in a short period of time, so she still couldn’t guarantee 100% that Song Shixue would not affect the development direction of his relationship because of other people’s words.

    Even Song Shixue said, “There is no way to separate from myself.”

    What unpleasant words Chi Sangzhi would say to irritate Song Shixue, and what method he would use to force Song Shixue to make a choice, Chi Nuan could not imagine, nor dared to think about.

    Chi Sangzhi sighed deeply from his chest, “Xingxing, have a good rest.”

    The door is closed.

    Warm wooden wall panels wrap the corridor, and it looks particularly deserted because there is no one around.

    The only two figures in the corridor, Chi Sangzhi and Song Shixue, walked to the public rest area in the distance with the echo of the soles of their shoes and the tapping of the tiles.Then he picked up his clothes and sat on the bitingly cold seat.

    “Do you love her?” Chi Sangzhi got straight to the point, his voice neither high nor low but very clear. “I’m not saying you like her, but do you love her?”

    Chi Sangzhi’s tone became much calmer, and he finally looked at Song Shixue with a straight eye.Her tone was full of emotion and transparency; but her eyes were full of heavyness.

    Chi Sangzhi pinched his nose and exhaled a white breath, “If you like someone lightly, you can abandon it anytime and anywhere. Love is different. Love is from beginning to end. No matter how difficult the process is, we will go on together.”

    “My marriage is unfortunate, but I love Chi Nuan very much. It is also because of my unfortunate marriage that I am afraid that Chi Nuan will not be happy.”

    Having said this, she opened the tissue, took out one, and dipped it into the tears that were coming out.

    Chi Sangzhi, who was fearless in his behavior, cried.

    I don’t know what Chi Nuan would think when he saw it, but Song Shixue felt quite uncomfortable anyway.

    She kept holding the tissue in her hand, and then handed Chi Sangzhi a new one. “I can confirm that I don’t just like Chi Nuan, I love her.”

    She wanted to tell Chi Sangzhi that Chi Nuan was the only person she fell in love with who was not related by blood.

    “What the hell, Chi Nuan’s father said similar things to me at that time. What was the result?” She scratched her brow and lowered her mouth, “Well, you can convince me with a reason.”

    “I have no reason…only action.” Song Shixue sat with her back straight and looked straight at Chi Sangzhi without any evasion.

    It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and those sincere and unwavering eyes are enough to give Chi Sangzhi reassurance.

    Chi Sangzhi’s eyes flashed with surprise.

    The words are very different, but the methods are completely different.How could that beast say that he couldn’t find a reason before? He had countless sweet words.All talk and no action has become the norm.

    Chi Sangzhi looked back at himself who was so confused by these words when he was young, and felt very pitiful and sad.

    She sneered coldly, “Well, then I’ll see what you do. But if you and Xingxing can’t last for a year, forget about love, don’t show up again, and don’t get entangled. When the time comes, forget about each other and be safe.”

    Chi Sangzhi gave them a deadline, at least one year.A sufficient emotional foundation has been laid in one year, and the emotional direction in the future can be seen.

    This was Chi Sangzhi’s biggest concession. She now wanted Chi Nuan to be happy more than the issue of sexual orientation.But the premise is that we don’t let each other down and we have long-term happiness.

    “Yes, I understand, Auntie.” Song Shixue’s lips couldn’t help but curve up, her smile no longer concealed, looking natural and relaxed.

    “Where’s your family? Do you know?” She paused for two or three seconds and saw that Song Shixue was embarrassed. “Why, your family doesn’t agree with it either, or are you saying that you are not prepared to say it? Well, thank you to our family!”

    There was no trace of seriousness in Chi Sangzhi’s tone, it was more of a joke.

    She was always like this. As long as everything was discussed and the atmosphere relaxed, she could turn back into the “unreliable” Chi Sangzhi who spoke and acted unscrupulously.

    “Auntie, my family’s situation is quite special.” Song Shixue replied.

    “Special? What special method?”

    “My mother passed away, and my father is in prison and has not yet come out…”

    Song Shixue knows best how much courage it takes to reveal one’s unfortunate family situation to outsiders.

    She could have made up an excuse or made it vague to get past it.But the other party was Chi Nuan’s mother. She thought that since Chi Sangzhi had made a concession, she had to deliver something of equal value to keep the balance balanced.

    She heard Chi Sangzhi’s breathing become faster and heavier.

    “Prison? Why are you in prison?” Chi Sangzhi almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.

    The problem still came.Song Shixue’s long eyelashes were lowered, and she took a shallow breath to keep her voice as steady as possible, “He was violent at home, and the level was such that it would endanger the other person’s life.”

    After saying that, she smiled relievedly at Chi Sangzhi.

    Song Shixue’s smile lingered in her eyes.

    Relief, so fake relief.

    Her ambiguous answer and false relief made Chi Sangzhi automatically associate her mother’s death with her father’s cruelty.

    It’s simply terrifying to think about it.

    “That…that…” Chi Sangzhi was speechless.

    “It’s okay, auntie. If you have anything else you want to know, you can ask me.”

    Chi Sangzhi hugged his knees and sniffed, “Oh, well, you…do you have other family members?”

    “Except for dad being in prison, that’s all.” She was afraid that Chi Sangzhi would misunderstand and explained, “I haven’t had much contact with him since he was imprisoned. Don’t worry, I won’t let him affect Chi Nuan or you.”

    Chi Sangzhi waved his hand, “No, that’s not what I meant.”

    This time, she looked at Song Shixue carefully with loving eyes, and suddenly understood why she felt a sense of alienation from the first moment she saw her.

    Growing up in such a repressive and cruel family environment, it’s easy for someone like Song Shixue to be so closed-minded and vigilant.If it were anyone else, even if their mental endurance was even slightly weaker, they would probably go crazy.

    Chi Sangzhi suddenly opened his arms and raised an eyebrow at her, “Come on, let’s hug one of you.”

    Song Shixue was confused.She had already seen Chi Sangzhi in three emotional states tonight, and found it a bit incredible.

    She knew who Chi Nuan’s face-changing technique came from.

    “What are you doing standing still!”

    Song Shixue hugged Chi Sangzhi with her upper limbs as stiff as stone.She could count on three fingers the number of times she had hugged her biological mother since she was a child, let alone Chi Nuan’s mother.

    Hmm, so strange and awkward.

    “Don’t worry about the serious words I said before. As for you, you can come back with Xingxing at any time if you have time. Don’t dislike my cooking if it’s not very delicious.” Chi Sangzhi patted her on the shoulder and said sincerely.

    Logically speaking, people like Chi Sangzhi, whose life experience is bullshit, should have been numb and should have talked to others about the principles of life.

    But she is a person who just can’t hear or see others suffering the same pain.Just like when she was doing some heroic deeds in a bar, even though she had nothing to do with her, she still wanted to get involved.

    Even if the victim was Song Shixue, who had had a quarrel with him dozens of minutes ago.She still wanted to hug and comfort her, and even felt deeply sorry for her inappropriate words and actions.

    “Auntie…” Song Shixue’s eyes were a little sore and her throat was still a little choked. “Thank you.”

    “Thank you! But you have to take good care of the stars!” She punched the air a few more times. “Otherwise, I’ll never end it with you!”

    Song Shixue smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Auntie, I will definitely take good care of her without you having to tell me.”

    Chi Sangzhi rubbed his hands and said, “Hey, let’s go. It’s still too cold outside. My old bones can’t bear it.”

    Her voice suddenly softened, “Hey, Xiao Song, we will…”

    Song Shixue covered her mouth and smiled, then nodded slightly.

    Chi Nuan in the ward was yawning all the time.

    Chi Sangzhi walked in first.

    “Mom.” Chi Nuan craned his neck to look behind her, “Where is Teacher Song?”

    “Oh, she’s back.” Chi Sangzhi’s face was expressionless, and his performance was flawless.

    “Going back?”

    “Well, she said she needed to rethink the relationship.”

    Chi Nuan became anxious, and the tip of her nose suddenly turned red. “Mom, I can do anything, but can you please don’t let Teacher Song leave me…”

    Seeing that Chi Sangzhi didn’t speak, she trembled and hurriedly picked up her phone to send a message to Song Shixue.

    Chi Sangzhi felt distressed and decided not to tease her anymore.She opened the door and Song Shixue slowly approached Chi Nuan’s bed.

    A tear fell on the screen, and Song Shixue pulled out the phone she was holding and read “Stars.”

    Chi Nuan mistook it for staying up too late and hallucinating.She took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. The woman in front of her became clearer and clearer.

    “Teacher Song…” She cried harder with her lips lowered, “Mom said you left, said you wanted to reconsider this relationship. I thought, I thought you didn’t want me anymore and wanted to break up with me…”

    Song Shixue raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, “I want to reconsider.”

    Chi Nuan swallowed nervously.

    “I’m considering becoming the above-board girlfriend your mother allows you to be.”
