Faced with this sudden about-face, Zhou Wu forgot to be angry for a moment.

He looked at the phone screen that was almost in front of him and quickly chose his words.

The photo shows a pretty girl wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a light blue skirt. She is sitting by the lake and smiling shyly at the camera.

"It's okay," he said.

Jiang Deng observed his expression.

It seems that I really don’t know him now.

But we'll get to know each other soon.

When they met for the first time in their previous life, Jiang Deng did not provide Wen Taotao's contact information. At that time, she only regarded the other party as an insignificant stranger and left the matter entirely to the driver.

This time...

[I dreamed that you didn't love me anymore.] Jiang Deng put down his phone and began to gather his emotions.

[Warning! Warning! The host is forbidden to reveal the future storyline of the novel to others, otherwise the soul will be directly obliterated! ] The system in Jiang Deng's mind suddenly popped up.

She hadn't originally planned to say this.

Jiang Deng lowered his eyelashes, about to cry: [I dreamed that you finally had enough of me, abandoned me and fell in love with someone else...]

"No, Ah Yu, why would you think that?" Although Zhou Wu felt that she was acting, he couldn't help but quickly reply, "Dreams are the opposite of reality."

Because this is indeed the knot in her heart that she cannot touch for many years.

Fear of being abandoned.

"Just because of a nightmare, you've been mad at me for so long?"

Jiang Deng exploded when he heard his words:

[Yes, that's right, it's because of a dream that I have been so unreasonable. Did you know that on the first day, if you don't like me, just leave! ]

It doesn’t matter whether the dream is fake. What matters is that it hits Jiang Deng’s sore spot—she was abandoned in a kidnapping case when she was six years old.

Zhou Wu would believe it.

Dreams are a projection of reality. Jiang Deng would indeed be touched by such dreams in the past, which would detonate the fear that had been accumulated in her heart for many years. She has always lacked a sense of security.

"Look at me, Ayu, I swore an oath. I promised to always treat you well. I have done it all these years, haven't I?"

Jiang Deng smiled silently in his heart.

See, he believed it.

Zhou Wu squatted down in front of her, and hurriedly pulled out a few tissues from the coffee table to wipe her tears. Who would have thought that the more he wiped, the more tears he cried. "I love you, don't you believe me?"

[Even if I have nothing, even if I don’t want children, even if I…]

"I love you. I will never give up on you. There won't be anyone else." Zhou Wu had a headache.

The child is indeed a problem, and the two have argued about this several times before.

The problem lies mainly with the Zhou family. The Zhou family has been a single-line family for three generations, and the older generation will never accept that the family line will be cut off at Zhou Wu's place.

Zhou Wu’s thoughts were consistent with Jiang Deng’s; both of them disliked children.

Jiang Deng wanted to go because pregnancy was too harmful to her body and would interfere with her dancing, and she didn't want to be tied down by a child. Zhou Wu wanted to go because taking care of Jiang Deng was troublesome enough, and he couldn't tolerate Jiang Deng's attention being diverted by a child.

And most importantly, neither of them is sure they can be good parents.

Although there is no test required to be a parent and no one ever asks for a child's opinion when the child is born, it is really better not to have a child if you can't raise the child well.

Until now, Zhou Wu has only been able to test his elders. If he wants to solve this problem more directly, he can only start his own business as soon as possible and wait for his father to retire.

This is also the reason why he has been working so hard in recent years.

He needs time.

But Jiang Deng’s understanding is one thing, and being angry is another. Every time the two of them argue about this topic, Jiang Deng always says this:

[What if you fall in love with someone else? What if you cheat on your partner and want a divorce after marriage? ]

In DINK (couples who choose not to have children), the woman is the one who faces the greatest risk. When she reaches middle age, she loses her fertility. If the man changes his mind and wants to have a child, he can divorce her at any time and find a younger one. Even if he had a vasectomy before, he can have a sterilization surgery to restore it.

Zhou Wu felt annoyed and helpless about this. Men are indeed the beneficiaries in marriage, and he had no way to refute it.

"Ayu, I am standing right in front of you. Do you believe in the illusory future more than the real me now?

"The future is made up of present moments. Ayu, I love you. You can trust me now."

At times like this, language is always powerless. There is no other way but to let time prove everything.

But there is one thing Zhou Wu doesn't know, this big trouble that once stood between him and Jiang Deng is no longer important to Jiang Deng now.

She's fine alone.

[Then why did you look at me like that yesterday? What do you mean? ]

"……I was wrong.

"But you were in a really bad state yesterday. I thought you..."

Zhou Wu didn't know how to describe it.

Jiang Deng was still crying, but the tears had gradually stopped.

It gives the two a chance to reconcile, and at the same time gives Zhou Wu a shot of defense, alienating the male and female protagonists.

Now that her goal has been achieved, there is no need for her to act anymore.

Zhou Wu stretched out his arms and hugged her again. This time she did not avoid him and leaned in Zhou Wu's arms for a while.

In fact, Jiang Deng sometimes felt a little confused. If Zhou Wu had not lied to her, and he had loved her so much, why did he fall in love with someone else later?

Jiang Deng looked up at the man: [What if one day you find out that I am your biological sister with the same father and mother? ]

Zhou Wu: “…”

I've already started joking around, it seems like the person is fine.

Although the problem has not been completely solved, it is a good start.

Zhou Wu let her go, curled his lips slightly, and rubbed his fingers on her tear-stained makeup: "Are you really not angry this time? Huh?"

[You're still laughing, you're not much better.] Jiang Deng glared at him.

The left side of the man's face was a little red and swollen, with fingerprints and a bloody cut from his fingernails.

Zhou Wu gasped when he heard this, pretending to be in pain and covering his face, lamenting: "Baby, you are so cruel, I have to rush to work on a project this afternoon, how can I face people!"

【You deserve it.】

As soon as he was mentioned, he started acting.

"If you're not angry anymore, then change your avatar back." Zhou Wu was still upset about this.

Jiang Deng: [……]

Finally, under Zhou Wu's personal supervision, Jiang Deng changed his WeChat chat profile picture back to the red rose it used to be.

Zhou Wu did have something else to do in the afternoon. After his emotional conflict was resolved and his mind returned to his career, he left quickly.

Jiang Deng took off the hypocritical mask on her face, went to the bathroom to remove her makeup, and returned to the bedroom to lie down.

Very lazy and don't want to move.

The ankle should be healed soon, and I should be able to walk normally tomorrow. After Xu Lingran finds an assistant, we can start investigating some things.

After Jiang Deng finished thinking about his next plan, he really wanted to sleep, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

I stared at the ceiling for half an hour, but my head was still very clear. I decided not to sleep anymore. I sat up and picked up my tablet to play games.

Dress up game.

Her hobbies are very specific. She doesn't like competitive games, but only dress-up games. They must be 3D, with the ability to pinch the face and dance.

Jiang Deng hadn't played games for several years, but at the age of 20, she was still addicted to them.

The tablet has a son and a daughter, with full VIP membership and a complete collection of illustrations. Jiang Deng took out several nice clothes from the closet and tried them on. After a while, he finally picked out the two most pleasing outfits for his son and daughter, and went to the home castle for a fancy night out.

I was having fun when my phone dinged and there was a new message.

Jiang Deng put down the tablet and took a look. It was a reminder from the class committee.

[Jiang Deng, your dance is still the most voted program at this year's school New Year's Eve party. Do you want to be on stage?]

[Go up.] Jiang Deng did not hesitate at all.

Why not go there? It's the key plot point where the heroine and the supporting actress confront each other later. How can I not go there?

Class committee: [(happily spinning) (presenting flowers) Come on, pretty girl! By the way, there is Teacher Li’s final exam on contemporary cultural studies at 3pm tomorrow, don’t forget it.]

Jiang Deng put down his phone and it was no longer interesting to play games anymore.
