Father Xu had no choice but to put down the wine glass in his hand after repeated persuasion, and shook his head with a smile, "Okay, then let's drink less and eat more vegetables."

Hearing his words, Lin Shoujie finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then quietly cast a glance at Xu Mengmeng.

His glance didn't have any special meaning, but Xu Mengmeng, who has always been sensitive, noticed it instantly, and even couldn't help but have reverie.

Very good!Ajay is following me!This is a great start!Xu Mengmeng was secretly happy in her heart, it seemed that the persistence these days had been endowed with new meaning.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Lin Shoujie chatting happily with his parents, and the atmosphere at the dinner table became very happy.

This was supposed to be a joyous scene, and it was supposed to be the life that Xu Mengmeng yearned for, but her mood suddenly became sad again, because she recalled the previous scene...

At that time, as now, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very warm, and she and Lin Shoujie would still do some small tricks under the table, and Lin Shoujie would let her mess around.

But now...everything has changed.

Although the distance between her and Lin Shoujie was only ten centimeters, these ten centimeters were like an insurmountable moat that made people desperate.

Xu Mengmeng tried in vain to reach out and touch Lin Shoujie.

But at the same time as this idea came up, she felt a little scared.

If you do that...you will definitely be hated by Shoujie...

Just thinking of this, Xu Mengmeng no longer dared to take action.

......

......

......

After dinner, Lin Shoujie wanted to help wash the dishes, but was stopped by his mother.

"Ajie, just go and rest, let me do the dishes." Mother said indifferently.

She has always been so hardworking.

Different from the current "independent women of the new era", she believes that doing housework frequently is the basic of human beings, regardless of gender. After all, she also educated Lin Shoujie in this way.

In normal times, Lin Shoujie would not let his mother wash the dishes when he came back once in a while, but he really felt dizzy after drinking some white wine tonight, so he had to obey his mother and leave the kitchen.

At this moment, he noticed that Xu Mengmeng sneaked into the kitchen after he left.

"That... Auntie, let me do the washing. You can sit and chat in the living room."

"Ah? No need, just come, Auntie."

Although Mother Lin was very happy with Xu Mengmeng's kindness, she was not willing to let this delicate child do the dishes, let alone her future daughter-in-law.

However, Xu Mengmeng still insisted: "It's okay! Let me come~ Please, auntie~"

Hearing this, Lin Shoujie had already left.

For some reason, he didn't want to continue listening, and he didn't want to know whether it was Xu Mengmeng who washed the dishes in the end. He just wanted to go back to his room and lie down, and forget all his troubles.

Cut off everything from the past...start a new life...isn't this something that has already been decided?

Now that you've decided... you shouldn't think about it so much...

Back in the room, Lin Shoujie lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze. After a while, he slowly closed his eyes until his brain was completely empty.

......

......

......

In the kitchen, Xu Mengmeng finally convinced Mother Lin, and then washed the dishes by herself.

She is a girl with a bit of a clean freak, so she always washes the dishes several times.

However, there are a lot of dishes and chopsticks today. With the workload added, even just washing dishes is enough to make people feel tired.

Not to mention that Xu Mengmeng hasn't washed the dishes for several years.

In just ten minutes, she couldn't help but feel back pain.

Obviously, it doesn't matter if you stop and rest for a while at such a time, after all, you are not in a hurry to do something.

But Xu Mengmeng just didn't want to stop.

She wants to feel this pain...the more pain the better...maybe it can be engraved in her heart...

With the persistence of this idea, after more than 20 minutes, she finally washed the dishes and chopsticks.

However, she didn't walk out of the kitchen immediately, but wiped the fine sweat from her forehead first, then took some deep breaths to adjust her condition, and then walked out with a smile on her face.

"Did you wash it? Mengmeng, thank you for your hard work."

As soon as she saw her coming out, Mother Lin said with a smile on her face.

Before Xu Mengmeng could respond, her mother had already taken up the topic, and said unceremoniously: "Oh, what's the matter, it's just washing the dishes, you should let this child wash more."

To be honest, Xu Mengmeng hated her mother for making her own way, because she didn't consider her feelings at all.

But for some reason, she didn't have any special feelings today, and she didn't feel sad, as if she had encountered a rare and ordinary thing.

Maybe I got used to it and didn't care...

Or maybe she wants to be a gentle person...

Facing everyone's eyes, Xu Mengmeng showed a sweet smile, as bright as fireworks at the end of summer.

"Well...it's nothing, don't worry about it, Auntie~ This is what I should do~"

Hearing Xu Mengmeng's words, everyone nodded in relief, even Lin's father, who had a complicated heart, was no exception.

He suddenly felt that he should have a serious and serious chat with Lin Shoujie again.

After all, with his eyes, there is really no girl who is better than Xu Mengmeng in this world...

Just as Lin's father was thinking secretly, Lin's mother beside him picked up the fruit plate on the table and greeted Xu Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, please give this to Ajie."

"Ah? Good~" Xu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly took the plate with a smile.

She knew very well that Lin Shoujie's mother planned to let her be alone with Lin Shoujie.

This seemed to be no problem before, but now it created an opportunity for her to mend the relationship.

Thinking of this, Xu Mengmeng silently thanked Mother Lin in her heart, and walked to Lin Shoujie's room with the plate.

"Dong dong..." Coming to the door, Xu Mengmeng tapped twice, then shouted timidly: "Shoujie..."

After a few seconds, Lin Shoujie's listless voice came from inside the room.

"come in."

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Mengmeng saw Lin Shoujie sitting up from the bed, frowning at her.

Facing Lin Shoujie's gaze, Xu Mengmeng was inexplicably nervous, and carefully raised the plate in her hand to signal, "Well... your mother asked me to bring some fruit in for you to eat..."

"..." Lin Shoujie sized her up silently, and then said casually, "Put it on the table."

At this time, Lin Shoujie's tone was not particularly good, on the contrary, his attitude was a bit off.

Hearing his words, Xu Mengmeng couldn't help but feel a little sad, but she still responded in a low voice obediently: "Oh...okay."

However, after putting the plate away, she didn't just leave like this, but stood by the side a little helplessly.

Lin Shoujie was obviously not angry about getting up, but after seeing this scene, he still felt an unknown fire being ignited by Xu Mengmeng.

"What are you going to do standing here stupidly? Go out if you have nothing else to do."

His tone gradually became cold and unkind, like a sharp sword piercing into Xu Mengmeng's heart fiercely.

In more than ten years, this was the first time he had such a reaction, or it was the first time he had such a reaction to Xu Mengmeng.

Although he has an alcohol problem, Lin Shoujie is actually very clear...why he has such an attitude...

After all, the current him, after seeing Xu Mengmeng's cautious appearance, no longer had the joy he had before, only restlessness was left all over the place.

And these irritability will seriously affect his state of mind and the thoughts he has already set, so they must be destroyed without mercy.

Fortunately... it's very easy to do this... just being indifferent is enough... After all, Xu Mengmeng is so vulnerable.

as it should be...

However, as Lin Shoujie's voice fell, Xu Mengmeng only trembled slightly, and after a short silence, she smiled reluctantly and apologetically.

"I, I want to chat with you for a while... is that okay?"

She almost exhausted all her strength, and even her crisp and sweet voice was slightly trembling.

At this moment, how much she wanted to cry, the pain in her chest made her almost out of breath.

But she held back in the end, and hid her sadness in her heart without any hesitation, leaving only the most decent self.

Looking at Xu Mengmeng in front of him, Lin Shoujie couldn't help but fell into silence.

It seems...she has really changed a lot...

As such thoughts flashed through his mind, the anger in his heart seemed to gradually calm down.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk about."

Perhaps because of soft-heartedness, Lin Shoujie decided to give her another chance to have a good heart-to-heart talk.

However, Xu Mengmeng couldn't respond immediately after hearing Lin Shoujie's words.

What do you want to talk about?

She has so much to talk about...

But if you have to pick a topic from it...

she wants to say...

I already know I'm wrong...also trying to make changes...

So... when is it going to be... to reconcile?

She also wants to say...

If it's okay... can you not make me wait too long...

Because working hard alone can be really tiring...

Of course...she's not complaining...

I just feel that if I can have a hug... Maybe I can work harder...

At this moment, Xu Mengmeng really wanted to act like a baby in Lin Shoujie's arms to her heart's content, talk about her hard work these days, and then be comforted, turning all of this into motivation to move on.

But... she still didn't do it...

Even though she was so exhausted that she wanted to die...even if she couldn't see any hope...but she still suppressed those emotions...

After all, that would be hated by Shoujie...

As the distracting thoughts in her mind disappeared bit by bit, Xu Mengmeng recovered from the pain, took a deep breath, and smiled: "I want...to start over with you, and this time I will chase after you." Can you?"

restart?

Lin Shoujie paused, then slowly shook his head, "It's impossible to start over."

"Why..." Xu Mengmeng's eyes dimmed again.

It's a pity that at this time, Lin Shoujie wouldn't take care of her emotions, so he said decisively, "Because I have a girlfriend."

This time Xu Mengmeng failed to respond quickly, but lowered her eyes slightly, and after a while, bit her lower lip and said in a low voice: "I can't chase you if I have a girlfriend..."

She knew that she was now living the way she hated the most, but if not, how else could she restore Lin Shoujie...

However, she never expected that Lin Shoujie would give such an answer.

"Yes, it's up to you, but you should be very clear, I will keep a distance from other girls during the relationship."

Lin Shoujie acted indifferent, and at the end of the sentence, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with subtle emotion in his eyes: "Speaking of which, this is what you asked me to do at the beginning, and I got used to it."

As the words fell, there seemed to be the sound of something breaking in the air, and Xu Mengmeng's tight heartstrings broke uncontrollably.

"why..."

"why why why!"

"Why do you say such things to me...it's too much...it's really too much..."

"Obviously I like you so much..."
