"I love you" is a mantra.

At least at this moment, Liang Jiayu knew that Zhou Xinyuan was not just joking.

He might not be able to help himself, or he might have cut open Liang Jiayu's chest alive.He could treat himself so cruelly, Liang Jiayu didn't know how to respond.

There was no response, nor could he.

"Good night." Liang Jiayu said.

"Do you know what good night means?" Zhou Xinyuan said eagerly, "I love you, I love you!"

Liang Jiayu smiled and said, "Good night, don't be silly."

After hanging up the phone, Liang Jiayu was still standing on the balcony blowing the cold wind.Looking at it from his point of view, the shadows of the whirling trees outside are like all his unknown thoughts in the dark.He thought about it for a long time, not knowing what to do with Zhou Xinyuan's situation... It was Liang Jiayu who was wrong, he had crossed the line, he should stop.

But can he really stop?

Until another person's footsteps sounded behind him, Liang Jiayu turned his head and said in surprise, "Sister, you haven't slept yet?"

"Hmm." The woman was wearing a long red dress, her skin was fair, and she was very bright and attractive. She walked to Liang Jiayu's side, "Will you blow the wind here at night?"

"No, I made a phone call." Liang Jiayu smiled.

Liang Qijun is five years older than him, and is already the youngest sister in the family.Liang Jiayu liked to play around with her when he was a child. After studying abroad, Liang Qijun would often visit him.At that time, Liang Qijun was working in a multinational company and was a superwoman who often needed to fly around.Liang Qijun got married two years ago, quit his job, and devoted himself to being a young lady.

Liang Qijun looked at Liang Jiayu with a half-smile, and said, "When you come back, you have to settle the ledger."

"Please forgive me." Liang Jiayu said listlessly, "I am about to be 31 years old, single, and an unsuccessful little director. Please do me a favor."

Liang Qijun: "Are you single?"

Liang Jiayu: "Yes."

Liang Qijun: "I don't think so."

Liang Jiayu: "...I don't have a date."

Liang Qijun: "What about the previous ones? Don't you like them?"

Liang Jiayu leaned against the railing and wanted to smoke, but before he could find the lighter, Liang Qijun confiscated his cigarettes.Liang Jiayu raised his hand to express his surrender.The night wind blew, and the villa was still very lively, but the place where the two of them were standing was extremely quiet.

Liang Jiayu thought for a while, with a painful expression on his face, as if he was talking to himself, he said: "I don't know if I can like someone."

Liang Qijun brushed his hair that was blown tousled by the wind with his hands, and said gently: "Why not?"

"The gap is too big, he is still very young, and the timing of the start is not right, I have never chased anyone..."

Liang Qijun smiled and said, "Oh my God, this is the first time I see you talking so sadly."

Liang Jiayu: "..."

"I will not say anymore."

He became furious and pretended to leave, Liang Qijun took his arm and said, "I hope I can see him soon, is it a boy or a girl?"

"...boy." Liang Jiayu paused and confessed.

Liang Qijun just smiled and didn't say anything against it.She seems to have gotten used to Liang Jiayu's "deviance".

It was too cold outside, Liang Jiayu was afraid that his sister would get sick, so he hurried into the house with her.He didn't specifically ask Mr. Liang Qi to keep the secret for him, because he knew that Mr. Liang Qi would never gossip around.

The villa gradually became quiet. Liang Jiayu's room was on the third floor. His bed was very comfortable and there was heating in the room, so Liang Jiayu fell asleep quickly.

The next day is New Year's Eve.Early in the morning, Liang Jiayu was woken up by a knock on the door.

"Liang Jiayu stays in bed!" A soft voice whispered in his ear.

Then, a little man jumped onto his bed, and a pair of little hands went into his clothes.The children were chattering and chattering excitedly. Even if Liang Jiayu could sleep, it was impossible for him to fall asleep in this situation.With his eyes closed, he casually grabbed one and hugged him, and said helplessly, "You bunch of nasty little brats!"

Liang Jiayu opened his eyes, and the children of his brothers and sisters were all around him, Liang Jiayu said: "Let me sleep a little longer, and I will give you more lucky money later, okay?"

"no!"

"Get up, you're the only one left."

"Get up and have breakfast."

Liang Jiayu stretched his waist in despair, and said without tears: "Understood! I'm up!"

When we went downstairs, everyone was there, and the whole family sat and chatted together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.An old man was sitting in a wheelchair surrounded by everyone. Liang Jiayu shouted: "Grandpa!"

"Hey." Grandpa Liang was a little slow to react, and looked at Liang Jiayu, as if he didn't recognize him.

"It's me, Jiayu."

"Oh, Jiayu."

"Well, the one who made the movie."

His grandfather is old, he has undergone heart bypass surgery, and he has severe Alzheimer's disease. Everyone is very patient when talking to him.Decades ago, the Liang family had almost nothing, and they all relied on their grandfather to make a fortune.Now, although the Liang family is powerful and powerful, there are not so many intrigues among the family members. Since Grandpa Liang is still in good health, they all want to spend more time with him.

Therefore, every year during the Chinese New Year, Liang Jiayu's vacation will be slightly longer than others.When the old man gets old, he sees only one face less. If he really has any regrets in the future, he might as well go home a few more times now.

As soon as Liang Jiayu sat down on the sofa, the topic turned to him.

"How is Jiayu's film going?"

"I heard that you are short of investors? Let your second brother invest."

Liang Jiayu smiled, and said with some pride: "Kang Yan from Fengxing Entertainment has voted, my latest sponsor father."

"Kang Yan... seems to have heard of it."

"Has Jiayu won an award before? Are you confident this time?"

Liang Jiayu nodded and said with a smile, "Yes."

Their family's New Year's Eve has been busy since noon, and until the evening, the richness of the food has reached a peak. Except for the chef at home, most of them will cook their best dishes.

Liang Jiayu said he was going to make a cucumber shoot, but was slapped by Liang Qijun.

"Go, don't make trouble."

Therefore, he can only play with children.

After dinner, Liang Jiayu was a bit exhausted. The Spring Festival Gala was playing on TV, but it was only used as background music, and no one watched it seriously.Liang Jiayu poured himself a glass of red wine and drank it absently.

He thought of Zhou Xinyuan, and the "I love you" he said to himself yesterday.

A kitten got into Liang Jiayu's heart and gently scratched him with its paws, which annoyed him a little, but also liked it a little.

I don't know what he's doing now, is he home?Have you got a meal yet?Are you watching the Spring Festival Gala?

do not know……

"Hey, Jiayu, help me."

After ten o'clock, the children were drowsy. Liang Jiayu helped carry these little kids to their room, and finally got into his own room.

Give Zhou Xinyuan a call, he thought.

Liang Jiayu dialed Zhou Xinyuan's number, and after a while, Zhou Xinyuan answered.

Liang Jiayu was at a loss for words for a moment, and he said after a long time: "Xiaoyuan, have you eaten yet?"

Zhou Xinyuan said, "Not yet."

Liang Jiayu felt that something was wrong, he said: "You are so quiet over there? Where are you?"

"Liang Jiayu...I think I may never catch up with you in this life. You must live in a beautiful castle, right?"

"what are you saying?"

"I... I think, I should be standing outside your house."

Liang Jiayu's mind went blank, and his voice was distorted, "Huh?"

He stood up, opened the window, and looked outside.At first, he saw nothing, then a tiny dot flickered in the dark.Liang Jiayu froze in place, realizing that it was Zhou Xinyuan's phone screen.

Zhou Xinyuan said: "I saw you, you look like Juliet."

"Fool." Liang Jiayu lowered his head and retreated into the room, "Fool...I am Juliet, are you Romeo?"
