Zhou Ding stood by the balcony, looking up at the moon hanging in the dark sky.

The moon is very big and bright, but there are always clouds drifting by, covering it like a haze, making it difficult to see clearly.

The wind was also very strong at night, mixed with the night fog, making people's hair messy and cold.

But Zhou Ding didn't move, he was fixed on the balcony like a stake.

He has been standing here for a long time.

"No."

The cold and decisive voice sounded in my ears again.

Zhou Ding pursed his lips tightly, his face was expressionless, his eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were a little dazed.

He still remembers the situation in the hospital today.

When the words "falling in love" were spoken, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere around Xia Yu became colder in an instant. Obviously, his eyes had not changed, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth was the same as before, but Zhou Ding could sense it. The feeling of a sudden change in the atmosphere.

Sure enough, Xia Yu gave him the word "can't" in the next second.

Straightforward and decisive, without a trace of hesitation, and without leaving him any leeway.

Zhou Ding took a deep breath and turned on the phone again.

As soon as the phone was turned on, there was a WeChat chat page, on which he had read countless times today——

[Xia Yu: There is no reason. 】

[Xia Yu: Let's not meet each other for a few days. You should calm down and think about whether you really like me that much, and why you like me. 】

[Xia Yu: It's only been a week since our first date, and it's not been more than a month since we first talked. You don't know me at all, but you like me so much. Your affection makes me feel strange. Your The demands also make me feel stressed, so I think you need to calm down and think about it - do you really like me that much, or do you like the feeling of "paying for someone you like", or something else. 】

[Xia Yu: Don't rush to give me an answer, just get back to me after you think it through. 】

[Xia Yu: That's it. 】

Zhou Ding stared at it for a long time before turning off the phone and took a cigarette from the cigarette case.

With a snort, the flickering star lights up in the night.

Gray smoke curled up and was blown away by the wind in an instant.

The moon hung high in the sky, and his straight figure looked a little bleak against the cold moonlight.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Ding irritably put out the cigarette butt and opened the dormitory group.

The dormitory group is still lively, Wu Le and Lin Fan are still awake, looking at the chat records, they should be playing a black game.They are like this after the holidays, living like nocturnal creatures.

[Wu Le: Fuck, that bitch actually made a sneak attack!I remember him! ! 】

[Zhao Xiunan: My mother's bracelet was exploded...Fuck, I'm going to collapse...]

[He Xinyang:? ? ? 】

[He Xinyang: Your top-quality bracelet was blown up? ?I'll rely on you to wait, I'll call someone, don't let this dog leave anything behind, I'll write my name upside down! ! 】

[Zhou Ding: . 】

[Wu Le: I've already offered him a reward, so don't let him leave the main city in the future! ! 】

[Wu Le: Huh?Did something get in there just now? 】

[Wu Le: Fuck Team Zhou! 】

[Wu Le: Team Zhou, are you still awake? 】

[Zhou Ding: No. 】

[Wu Le: Ang?Why are you still up at this hour?Not like you. 】

[He Xinyang: Do you have something on your mind? 】

[Zhou Ding: A little bit. 】

[He Xinyang: Come on, let's talk about it, brothers are not happy right now, let's talk about it for everyone's joy. 】

【Zhou Ding:...】

[Wu Le: Team Zhou, ignore him, he's joking, just tell me. 】

His chest was stuffy for a day, Zhou Ding thought for a while, and typed——

【Zhou Ding: Do you still remember the online dating partner I mentioned earlier? 】

[Wu Le: Remember, what's wrong?there is a problem? 】

[He Xinyang: What's wrong with that girl?Let me tell you and analyze it for you. 】

Zhou Ding cut to the chat interface with Xia Yu, tapped twice with his fingers, took a screenshot, and paste all the key information such as nickname and profile picture before posting to the group.

[Zhou Ding: [picture]]

[Zhou Ding: That's it, what should I do? 】

[He Xinyang: Don't talk, everyone, let me do this question! [Roll up sleeves]]

[He Xinyang: Just looking at the information on the picture, it should be that you confessed your love and wanted to establish a relationship with her, but then she felt that you were too anxious and thought it was unreasonable for you to like her so much, so she felt pressured and refused , let you calm down? 】

[Zhou Ding: Yes. 】

[He Xinyang: She's quite a sensible girl, but...]

【Zhou Ding: But what? 】

[He Xinyang: You seem to like her very much, so brother doesn't know whether to say this, it's quite cold water. 】

【Zhou Ding: Come on, I've been splashed enough in the past two days. 】

[He Xinyang: Then don't think that brother's words are ugly, online dating is normal, but who would have sex with someone as soon as they meet?And after sleeping, you don't want to establish a relationship with you. I see, you have met Neptune. Neptune's most taboo is to establish a relationship. If the relationship is certain, how can she date others? 】

[Zhou Ding: She is not in the sea. 】

[He Xinyang:? 】

[Zhou Ding: I crossed the line. What we agreed at the beginning is... that we only maintain a physical relationship in the third dimension, but I like her so much that I want to fall in love with her, so she said that. 】

[Zhou Ding: She didn't date anyone else, she only dated me, she's not crazy. 】

[He Xinyang: ...you don't need to say it twice. 】

[He Xinyang: All right, she's not big, but forgive my brother, you're good to lick. 】

[Zhou Ding:? 】

[He Xinyang: Although I don't know exactly how you get along, I can almost understand what you said.The human girl just wants to maintain a physical relationship with you, but in the end you really want to establish a romantic relationship with him, isn't this the same as Zhao Xiunan, the human girl only wants to fall in love with him, and he proposes to someone excitedly, so it makes the girl Scared away? 】

[He Xinyang: It's all the same reason, the time has not yet come! 】

[Zhao Xiunan: Why do you have to explain to Team Zhou why you have to step on me?Do you want me to cry in the middle of the night? ? 】

【Zhou Ding: Thanks, I understand. 】

【Zhou Ding: [Red envelope for luck]】

【Zhou Ding: Thank you everyone, I'll think about it again. 】

After sending the last word, Zhou Ding turned off the phone.

The authorities were obsessed, his thinking was really screwed up, that's why he couldn't think about it.

Before asking He Xinyang, he was no longer obsessed with why Xia Yu refused to try, but rather sad that Xia Yu doubted his liking and his sincerity.

Is it that complicated to like someone?

He doesn't think so.

Do you have to understand someone to fall in love with him deeply?

He didn't agree either.

He just likes Xia Yu.

I like it very much.

A look, a movement, or even an expression of Xia Yu can increase the love value in his heart.

He just likes him a lot.

Zhou Ding could probably understand why Xia Yu didn't want to fall in love, but he felt that Xia Yu didn't want to, but felt that he couldn't—he was framed by the outside world.

That's why he plucked up the courage to give La Xiayu a try.

They can try to talk about a relationship that only the two of them know, just like the relationship between their friends with sex, there is no need to see the light, it only exists underground, and even he doesn't need Xia Yu to be in charge, just need Xia Yu to stand where he is and allow him Get closer, allow him to release his good feelings, allow him to behave intimately, just a little deeper, a little more heart-to-heart and bond than their previous relationship.

But he didn't even have a chance to say the following words, so he was blocked by the cold "can't".

Zhou Ding was stunned at the time, and he still couldn't figure it out.

After all, he liked Xia Yu so much, and it was the first time he was so kind to someone, and he felt that the request was not too much, so he thought that even if Xia Yu wanted to refuse, he would hesitate, think about it, and give him a chance to explain and fight for it. Xia Yu actually refused without mercy!

He really didn't understand.

So from daytime until now, he has been thinking about what Xia Yu is worried about, is it his family?Are you worried about the eyes of the world?Don't want to be tied down in a relationship?Or do you really think he's just hotheaded and doesn't like him that much?

He kept thinking, thinking, thinking of countless possibilities, and also thought of countless solutions.

But until now, he finally had the feeling of being knocked awake.

——He kept thinking about Xia Yu's problem, but ignored himself.

It never occurred to him that the most fundamental problem was that he himself was too impatient.

Just like what He Xinyang said, the time has not yet come.

He liked Xia Yu very much, but Xia Yu didn't like him very much.

The two of them have different feelings for each other. Although Xia Yu has a good impression of him and gets along well with him, she hasn't reached the point where she wants to fall in love with him.

It was he who lost his sense of proportion, which made Xia Yu embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ding frowned.

So, how can I make Xia Yu like herself more?

There's no need to confirm the relationship, just go back to the original state where he circled around Xia Yu and Xia Yu didn't hesitate to smile at him.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ding turned on his phone, and clicked on the dormitory group again——

[Wu Le: Oh!No!Xiu Nan!You must not do stupid things! [Erkang hand]]

[He Xinyang: Brother!Be strong my brother!Don't just fall down! ! 】

[Lin Fan: @赵修南, it’s nothing to grab a thousand yuan red envelope for only ten yuan, a man, don’t give up your life just because of ten yuan, it’s not worth it! 】

Zhou Ding: ...

Zhou Ding:?

【Zhou Ding: What are you doing? 】

[Wu Le: It's nothing, Xiu Nan just wanted to jump off the building.Team Zhou, do you have any questions?I'll help you manually @He Xinyang. 】

【Zhou Ding:...】

[He Xinyang: This master is here! [Roll up sleeves]]

【Zhou Ding: ... Just, I want to know what I should do to make her like me more and more without making her feel pressured. 】

At 06:30 the next morning, Xia Yu sat in the living room with a strange expression on his face.When he turned over while sleeping, he accidentally touched his calf, and he woke up with a start. The pain made his whole body break out in cold sweat, and it took him a while to recover.

As a result, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he went downstairs and took out the ice pack from the refrigerator, and continued to apply ice to his calf.

After a while, the parents also got up.

The mother came over to look at him first, and after a few words of advice, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, while the father sat down next to him, as if he had something to explain.

He was injured yesterday and went back to the room early, and his father had no chance to talk to him, but now that they met, the matter of engagement was finally brought up.

Xia Yu shook her head without thinking: "No."

As soon as these two words came out, Father Xia's expression immediately turned cold.

In his eyes, Xia Yu has always been obedient.

Even if he is reluctant, he will not refuse outright, which is also related to his long-term education.

And according to his observation of Xia Yu since childhood, as long as Xia Yu is left with a little room, his tolerance will be very high.

So he wouldn't force Xia Yu to get married, but he didn't think Xia Yu would refuse such things as seeing his girlfriend and getting engaged.

Before Xia Yu's reaction was always the same as he thought, every time he asked Xia Yu to have dinner with girls, even if Xia Yu didn't like it, she would still participate.

However, unexpectedly, Xia Yu directly refused this time!

Father Xia frowned in surprise: "Why?"

Maybe it was the annoying leg pain, maybe it was Zhou Ding's matter that made him irritated, or maybe it was his father's increasingly excessive demands that made him really cold, Xia Yu suddenly didn't want to coax his father like before, and didn't want to talk about anything Fate is not enough, and he doesn't want to say that he is still young and not in a hurry, he said with a cold face: "Because I don't like her."

Father Xia noticed Xia Yu's attitude, and his face suddenly became serious: "Like can be cultivated!"

Xia Yu's tone was cold: "I don't want to train with her."

"Then who do you want to train with?!" Father Xia's voice suddenly rose, and he stood up from his seat.

He looked at Xia Yu condescendingly, "Do you think I'm happy to take care of your affairs when I'm old? Would I have done this if you hadn't had a date? I wouldn't bother you if you found a date earlier! I even wronged you Already!"

Xia Yu lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Mother Xia looked out from the kitchen, then looked away again.

The more Xia Yu remained silent, the more his father's anger grew. The more angry he was, the louder he roared. Sometimes he said that Xia Yu was ignorant, sometimes he said he didn't understand his good intentions, and sometimes he said that Xia Yu was ignorant. Disobedient, raising him for nothing, Che Jilu talking back and forth, almost pointing his nose at Xia Yu for being unfilial.

Xia Yu looked up at his father, his eyes were empty, but the heaving of his chest gradually became bigger.

The loud reprimand fell silent in his ears, and only his father's mouth that kept opening and closing, and the face with raised eyes and eyebrows remained in his eyes.

so annoying.

Why do you have to force him?

One forced him to fall in love.

One didn't force him to fall in love, but instead forced him to get engaged.

so annoying.

So annoying.

I'm so annoying.

"Dad." Xia Yu said suddenly.

Father Xia paused, his face still full of anger: "What are you doing?"

Xia Yu looked at him quietly, and said the most poignant words in the calmest tone: "Did you treat Xia Zhao like this back then?"

They are family.

Therefore, the person who knows best how to stab the knife will hurt the opponent the most.
