Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Zhou Zhou: I believed it reluctantly.

After a while he asked again: Do you like family gatherings?

The red light came on, and Gu Ling stopped in front of the zebra crossing. She maintained her consciousness as a character in the love game and said, "If it's with you, I think I would like it."

In the dim room, the fluorescent light from the mobile phone screen shone on Lu Wenzhou's face, and the pale light cast a shadow on his three-dimensional and deep face.

He was trapped in darkness. The only light from his cell phone reflected tiny spots in his eyes, just like the moonlight projected on the calm lake in the pitch-black night, beautiful and lonely.

Do you have family gatherings with people you like? But family gatherings don’t necessarily have to be with people you like.

In Lu Wenzhou's eyes, family and love have never been interdependent.

Lu Wenzhou was silent for a long time, and finally said: Yan Qi, will you always stay with me?

Without waiting for Gu Ling to answer, he said again: People like you would never leave on your own initiative unless you are abandoned.

Obviously, the "you" here refers to paper people like Yan Qi.

After all, paper people are two-dimensional products created by humans. Unless humans actively abandon them, to a certain extent, they will indeed stick with them.

The green light came on, pedestrians on both sides of the road met, brushed shoulders, and then went in opposite directions. Gu Ling followed the crowd and merged into the vast sea of ​​people.

She looked at the message sent by the player and a smile appeared on her face. Is there anything in this world that is eternal and unchanging?

However, she promised her lover with a firm tone: "Of course, Yan Qi will always be with Zhou Zhou."

This was a promise from a paper man. Gu Ling knew it, so she blurted it out; Lu Wenzhou knew it, so he did not hesitate.

Always, this is a very beautiful word. Lu Wenzhou has wanted it for a long time.

Boom boom boom!

"Master, dinner is ready. The master asks you to go down."

Zhou Zhou: I understand, Xiaoqi, goodbye.

For the first time, Lu Wenzhou took the initiative to say goodbye.

Gu Ling keenly noticed something different. She looked at the words "Xiao Qi" and thought: Giving a nickname to a paper man is not a good thing.

Because special titles often carry special feelings.

In the living room, Lu Yan, who was over fifty years old, sat at one end of a rectangular table. On his left sat his wife Xu Han and his youngest son Lu Tian, ​​who had just turned twenty-four. Lu Wenzhou took the initiative to walk to the right.

"Father, mother, and Xiaotian, good evening."

His polite appearance did not seem as casual and eccentric as usual, nor did he seem lonely in the room. It was as if he was covered with a layer of gentle and polite skin, distant and cold.

Lu Yan looked at him unhappily: "You hide in your room as soon as you come back. What a disgrace!"

"Can you talk?" Xu Han gave Lu Yan a look and said with a smile, "Wen Zhou, sit down quickly and ignore him."

"Brother, today we have your favorite braised fish. You must eat more since you finally come back."

Lu Wenzhou has his own residence and comes back at the end of every month for family gatherings.

Lu Tian is worthy of being Xu Han's son. He gives people the same feeling when he smiles. That kind of gentleness, politeness, and the cultivation and dignity of an upper-class person always permeate his every word and action.

Instead of being like him, who has to try his best every time to play the role of a nobleman in the upper circle.

Lu Wenzhou hid the surging waves in his eyes and sat down at the dining table.

Lu Yan always felt dissatisfied when looking at this unexpected child. Lu Wenzhou was not like him at all. He was more like Su Xieyi - the energetic and foul-mouthed woman.

Especially after Lu Yan learned that Lu Wenzhou had gone to the urban village again, the pent-up dissatisfaction in his heart had reached its peak, but because of Xu Han and Lu Tian, ​​he did not show it.

The Lu family has strict family education, and they emphasize not talking while eating or sleeping. During the meal, the only sounds left are the almost inaudible collision of bowls and chopsticks and the slightest swallowing sound.

After dinner, Lu Wenzhou stood up and prepared to leave. Lu Yan stopped him and said, "You're leaving after dinner. Do you think this is a restaurant?"

Lu Wenzhou has always been like this since he became an adult and moved out. Lu Yan is picking on him just because Lu Wenzhou went to the village in the city.

Lu Wenzhou looked at this old man who was still dignified and elegant, and said calmly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Lu Wenzhou, watch your attitude when you speak."

"Father, you personally asked a famous teacher to teach me etiquette. You should trust your own judgment. I don't think there is anything wrong with my attitude."

"Then your etiquette teacher should have taught you not to do things that are inconsistent with your status."

For example, he frequently went in and out of the urban village as the eldest son of the Lu family.

Lu Wenzhou looked at his biological father, his eyes were light with emotion, but with a smile on his face: "You can still give birth to a child with someone who is not worthy of your status, why can't I miss my mother?"

Even at this time, Lu Wenzhou did not lose his composure.

Losing his composure in front of this man always made him feel inexplicably inferior.

Lu Yan did not regret his relationship with Su Xieyi. He really wanted to marry her at the beginning. The reason they eventually broke up was that they were not suitable for each other.

What he regretted was that he made Su Xieyi pregnant, letting a child he didn't expect destroy his family.

Lu Wenzhou was like a stain on his clothes. Even though he tried hard to make the stain blend into the color of the clothes, the nature of the stain could not be changed.

Facing the question, Lu Yan's tone softened, and he tried to make Lu Wenzhou understand his thoughts: "I'm not asking you to miss... her, but, Wenzhou, you have to consider your current identity."

Xu Han sat silently on the side, with no expression unusual on his face. Lu Tian watched the two people arguing, with worry in his eyes.

Lu Wenzhou felt embarrassed when he saw the performance of Xu Han and his mother.

He was like a shameless villain who occupied the position of the eldest son of the Lu family. He enjoyed other people's resources but was still thinking about his past life.

If Xu Han and his mother had treated him a little worse, he wouldn't have been so... embarrassed.

The hand hanging by his side clenched and unclenched, and he could no longer maintain the smile on his face: "Sorry, I...will be more careful next time."

Next time, I'll be more careful and do it quietly so that no one can find me.

But I'm sorry, Mom.

I can't go home often.

……

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Gu Ling finished washing up and prepared to go to bed. Before going to bed, she habitually glanced at her mobile phone, and this glance made her stunned.

The work background of "Unforgettable Love" shows 99+ message prompts, and most of them come from one account: Zhou Zhou.

"Exclusive Lover" does not only have a telephone interaction mode, players and characters can also send messages to each other.

The module of sending messages to each other is relatively lenient towards the voice actors of the characters. The voice actors do not have to reply to the players immediately. As long as the dialog box is not opened, they can reply at any time.

Gu Ling no longer has to care about players' interaction requests after 11 o'clock in the evening, but if she wants, she can also take the initiative to accept interactions outside of working hours.

She looked at the 26 phone interaction requests and 99+ messages displayed on her phone, and hesitated whether to pay attention to this player.

As she was hesitating, the person on the other end sent a few more messages.

Although she didn't open the dialog box, she could see part of the content as soon as the message was sent.

——Xiaoqi, I miss you so much.

——I can’t sleep.

——Today is a bad weather, I...

After the last message, he seemed to give up and remained silent for several minutes.

Gu Ling could tell from the player's abnormal behavior that he was in a bad mood. Regardless of whether Zhou Zhou chose to seek comfort from her when he was in a bad mood because he didn't want to disturb his friend or for other reasons, it was undeniable that he made Gu Ling a little happy.

It seemed that when he was in the most difficult and helpless time, Gu Ling was the only person he could think of.
