first love non-boyfriend

Kailin opened her mouth wide, she was unprepared for this bad news.

"Then, then...then you just told my mother that your parents are fine..."

Zi Liu sniffed, and the corners of her eyes were moist; she forced a smile, "Heh! I didn't lie to Cen's mother, my 'parents' are really good!"

"Huh? But your dad..." There is no wife around, right?

"He married another woman, and according to the relationship, that is indeed my 'mother'." Zi Liu laughed a little self-deprecatingly, and waved her hand, indicating that this topic ends here.

"I'm sorry... did I remind you of something unhappy?"

"It doesn't matter, you will ask sooner or later, and I have long wanted to find a chance to tell you." Zi Liu forced a smile, turned over and sat down beside her. "It's just that I really, really don't want to recall it if it's not necessary."

Knowing some of Ziliu's past, but feeling extremely heavy.Even though the person who passed away was someone she had no memory of at all...it was his girlfriend's close relative. "Is that why you left home to work?"

"Well, partly; in fact, my dad's main place of work is still in New Zealand, he didn't really move back; he only accompanied me to school, and then went back again."

She is living alone in Taiwan.

"You didn't explain it clearly to me." Suddenly, I felt very complicated; Kailin hated Ziliu's concealment, she didn't say anything, and let herself mistakenly think that she was still with her parents, and she had a mother every day when she went home like herself Take care, live carefree...

"This is my own choice, you don't need to sympathize with me. I came back to find you; besides, I don't feel sorry for myself at all. I live very comfortably in the place where I work, and the boss treats me very well... Although it is still It's not like home, but my home has long since disappeared, so... this is enough for now." Zi Liu took a breath, caressing Kailin's face, "And, the two of us are together now , aren’t your parents my parents?”

Hearing Ziliu's playful tone at the end made Kailin feel at ease for no reason.

Even if it might be a forced smile.

"What? It's as if you've already married me."

"If they are willing, I really want to!" Zi Liu glanced towards the door and kissed her cheek again.

"If you have a chance tomorrow, why don't you come to our store? Let me introduce Sister Qiaojuan and Sister Xinyu to you. They are all very curious about you."

Kailin couldn't help but groaning, "How on earth did you introduce me to them?"

"Well..." Zi Liu rolled her eyes, "I even said you were an innocent little white rabbit being bullied by me!" After she finished speaking, she pushed hard with both hands, overwhelming her girlfriend again!

"Hey! You...wait a minute..."

***

Is there such thing as reciprocity between lovers?

I don't know, anyway, Kailin showed up at Ziliu's residence the next day; she had checked online beforehand, and it was a small well-known simple restaurant, which was recommended by many food bloggers.

The sun is still quite hot today. In order to avoid heatstroke again, she put on a hat, looked up and saw the signboard of "Gone with the Wind" in white characters on a green background. After double confirmation, she approached the stairs and glanced up, "It's here." right?"

With a dubious attitude, Kailin stepped on it cautiously, and was about to call her girlfriend to lead the way, but the door at the top of the stairs opened with a "bang", which made her almost think that someone was fighting and smashing the store!

"...Why are you talking about it now? It's almost too late! I'll hurry to see... Kai, Kailin?"

Huh?She pushed her glasses, the person who rushed out the door... Isn't it Ziliu? "You, are you busy?"

Ziliu smiled awkwardly, and quickly went downstairs with a big basket, "Is that right? I'm going to deliver, the location is not far from here, about 10 minutes, you want to follow me..." Halfway through the conversation, She bit her lip and stopped, "The sun is so bright, so forget it! You go up first, and I'll be back soon after delivering the things!" She patted Kailin on the cheek, passed her girlfriend and ran downstairs, and quickly disappeared in the within Karen's sight.

Is this an emergency?Kailin pouted and had to go upstairs alone.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cool wind blew away a lot of heat; Kailin looked around the room, the seats in the store were about [-]% full, and the business was good; the air smelled of coffee and bread, and the space was bright and clean. It's a great place to dine.

"Welcome--" A woman with her hair combed in a very individual way and dyed colorfully came forward with a smile, "Miss?"

"Uh, um..." Kailin took off her baseball cap and decided to reveal her identity directly, "I'm Ziliu's... friend, she invited me over."

The woman blinked her left eye and pointed at Kailin with a playful look: "Friend, or girlfriend?"

Kailin shrank her shoulders in fright at the word "girlfriend", and the woman immediately smiled and reached out to her. "I've known you for a long time, so you are Kailin? Heh, Ziliu talks about you every day, and says you'll come today, and she's waiting for you! She's going to deliver food, so you find a seat first."

The woman's greeting was kind but forceful, and before she had time to think, she was pushed into a two-seater near the bar, "You can order whatever you want, just order! Anyway, Zi Liu's salary will be deducted when the time comes, so don't be afraid!"

Is this adding burden to Ziliu! "Uh, thank you... May I ask my sister, are you..."

The woman smiled, "I'm Cheng Qiaojuan, if you don't mind, you can call me Sister Qiaojuan after Ziliu; take your time, don't hesitate to order." She brought a glass of lemonade, and then went back to the counter to get busy.

She finally ordered a pasta set, and the buckwheat sister returned immediately after delivering the order, as if she was going to let the other person help; Kailin thought it was a bit weird, but she didn't have the guts to ask.

Cheng Qiaojuan sat down opposite Kailin, took off her hat and let out a cry. "Would you mind chatting with me?"

"I don't mind." Kailin rubbed her nose, always feeling that this beautiful sister Qiaojuan was too enthusiastic.

"I heard that you thought about it for a while before agreeing to Ziliu's pursuit?" Kailin nodded, and Cheng Qiaojuan smiled brightly, leaning on the table and said: "Then...how much did Ziliu tell you about herself?"

"Well... not much, just talk about her mother, um... Then her father married a stepmother, that's about it."

Cheng Qiaojuan raised an eyebrow, "She didn't say why she came to work in our shop?"

"I didn't say anything, I just mentioned that her father didn't go back to Taiwan, and you two sisters treat her very..." Okay?Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Qiaojuan's face suddenly changed. "Sister Qiaojuan?"

The opposite Cheng Qiaojuan sighed, "Zi Liu is stubborn, it's normal not to tell you... She said she went back to Taiwan alone, right? Just to find you..." She moistened her lips and changed An unspeakable expression. "Actually, she borrowed a lot of money from us for this trip."

Kailin, I never imagined that behind Ziliu's relaxed and freehand style, there is actually a "financial crisis" hidden? "How could this be... I know that the living expenses here are very... Where's her father?"

"She doesn't have a good relationship with her father, and she has a new love. Now, she probably focuses on her current wife, right? How can she care about Ziliu?" For some reason, Cheng Qiaojuan mixed in this sentence. There was a lot of anger.

"Then, how much does Ziliu owe..."

"Tuition fees, air tickets, living expenses, rent..." She swiped her fingers and read a lot of tickets, and Kailin became dizzy the more she listened. "Is it enough for her to be an elf with us when she graduates from college? Oh, yes, she plans to go to college! The tuition fee will be increased...Zi Liu is a good boy, willing to do anything, we all like it she……"

Kailin couldn't help but sink a little bit more. Although Cheng Qiaojuan greatly praised Ziliu's hard work, it was really hard work to live under the fence...

"Kailin, let me say something cold—you want to be together, but you have to face the harsh economic pressure besides other people's strange eyes; Ziliu likes you very much, you should know that, But what about you?" Cheng Qiaojuan's gaze became sharp, piercing into Kailin's heart like a stabbing knife. "How much are you willing to pay for this love?"

Very heavy pressure.Kailin was stunned. Before stepping into the shop, she hadn't expected to hear this at all... Was it because Ziliu was away temporarily that Cheng Qiaojuan spoke freely to her?

"I...I have never worked before, so I don't know what to do; but...if possible, I would like to help her pay back as much as I can." Kailin scratched her head in embarrassment, and quickly took out her wallet, " Don't blame Ziliu for the trouble I just ordered, I, I will do it myself!"

The other person brought the meal and shook his head when he saw her take out her wallet, "Kailin, didn't Qiaojuan say it? Just put it on Ziliu. You are her girlfriend, and she must be reluctant to let you pay the bill yourself."

"But, but if this is the case..."

"Put it away, just eat, and let Ziliu make coffee for you when she comes back." The other elder sister spoke in a much gentler tone. Before she left, she gave Cheng Qiaojuan a look. Cheng Qiaojuan looked innocent, After saying a few rambling words, he flashed into the counter, leaving Kailin staring at the pasta in a daze.

After a while, another woman with longer hair came over to the table and brought a glass of juice, "Here, here you are... why haven't you moved? Are you still hungry?"

"Well, it's not..." Kailin was still thinking about how to help Ziliu, which affected her dining mood.

Unlike Cheng Qiaojuan, although the long-haired one is not so gorgeous and beautiful in appearance, her manner and speech are very quiet and elegant, and her eyes are much gentler.

However, I always feel that something is weird... Kailin stared at the long-haired woman with her head bowed, somehow felt that her facial features were somewhat similar to Ziliu's?

Is it an illusion?
