"Probably know"

Fu Zhidong nodded and said, "It's what people have to do when they grow up."

Fu Zhidong replied in a confused manner. Fu Zhidong seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Are you and your aunt getting married?"

Li Xuewu smiled and said, "Yes."

After answering, Li Xuewu felt that it was almost the same downstairs, so he reached out and patted Fu Zhidong's shoulder, and while walking out, he said: "Grow up quickly, and you can marry the person you like."

"The person you like...?"

Fu Zhidong didn't know if his understanding was the same as what his uncle said, and his little mind was confused by the adults' words again.

"What are you talking about?"

Zhou Yamei, who had collected her emotions, was standing at the corner of the stairs. Seeing that the whole family seemed to be discussing serious issues, she couldn't help but smile.

Fu Zhidong looked at his mother, something seemed different, his eyes were red and his smile was a little forced.

"Talking about marriage"

Fu Zhidong ran down the stairs and said to his mother: "Uncle said that he wants to marry the person he likes."

"Yeah~"

Zhou Yamei smiled and touched her son's head, but glanced at Li Xuewu who was walking downstairs.

Li Xuewu walked past the couple and said to Fu Zhidong with his eyes: "This is a secret between men. Young man, you have to learn to keep it a secret."

Seeing his uncle say this, Fu Zhidong quickly pursed his lips to keep it secret.

"Hehehe~"

Li Xuewu smiled and went down the stairs. Gu Ning was sitting on the sofa looking over.

The living room is not far from the stairs on the second floor, and what Li Xuewu and Fu Zhidong said can still be heard downstairs.

Gu Ning looked into Li Xuewu's eyes and wondered which of this man's words were true and which of them were false.

"Has the application been approved?"

Li Xuewu walked to Gu Ning, sat down and asked, while holding the tea cup.

Gu Ning nodded and said nothing. She didn't know how to face Li Xuewu now.

She doesn't know how to pretend or hide her emotions.

Li Xuewu didn't pay much attention to Gu Ning's expression. The two were sitting next to each other, and Zhou Yamei was at home, so he couldn't get too close to Gu Ning.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Xuewu said: "Let's go out to eat tonight and take you to eat Western food."

Gu Ning raised his head and looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I don't want to go, I want to rest."

"What's wrong?"

Only then did Li Xuewu see that Gu Ning was in a low mood and asked with concern.

Gu Ning just shook his head and didn't explain anything.

Li Xuewu looked at Gu Ning and said: "Huang Qian, a classmate in the Jinmen training class, got some tickets for ballet performances. He took his wife and asked me to go see it with him, so I thought of taking you with me."

.

Gu Ning raised his head again, looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, stared at them for a while, and then asked: "Friend?"

"good friend"

Li Xuewu emphasized, and then said with a smile: "But just because we are good friends, if you feel uncomfortable, I will return the ticket to him."

Gu Ning pursed her lips slightly and asked again: "Tonight?"

"certainly"

Li Xuewu saw something was wrong with Gu Ning's eyes, narrowed his left eye slightly and asked, "Can you tell me what's wrong?"

Gu Ning didn't speak, just looked into Li Xuewu's eyes, then lowered his head and said, "Nothing, just wait for me, I'll go change my clothes."

As he spoke, he stood up and went upstairs.

Li Xuewu's eyes followed Gu Ning's figure until she disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

As Gu Ning disappeared, Li Xuewu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

He is not a fool, nor is he a newbie in love. When it comes to sensitivity, he has rich experience.

"It's been three or four days."

Zhou Yamei sent her son to play in the yard. When she saw Gu Ning going upstairs, she walked to the coffee table and put away the tea sets and said softly.

Li Xuewu's eyes narrowed and he thought for a while.

Gu Ning was still fine when he left on Wednesday night, saying he was going home to ask his parents for their opinions.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, what happened?

Li Xuewu didn't know, he didn't pay attention, but something must have happened, otherwise Gu Ning's mood would not have changed.

He didn't think it was Zhou Yamei who said anything, nor did he think Gu Ning cared about Zhou Yamei.

Because Li Xuewu knew that there was no substantial boundary crossing between him and Zhou Yamei.

But he hasn't had contact with anyone these days. Could it be that he heard something?

Zhou Yamei didn't know what to say or ask. She put away the tea set and went out to see the child.

Li Xuewu suddenly asked: "Do you hate me?"

Zhou Yamei's footsteps were suddenly nailed to the ground, unable to move.

He just turned his back to Li Xuewu and couldn't say a word.

After a while, Zhou Yamei turned around shivering and looked at Li Xuewu, with tears streaming down her face.

"You ask this unconsciously, which is very cruel to me."

"sorry"

Li Xuewu nodded slightly and said: "People are in the middle of the game and can't help themselves."

"No"

Zhou Yamei let her tears flow and stood in the living room looking at Li Xuewu with some sadness and said: "No one is sorry for anyone. You shouldn't have told me. Isn't it good for me to forget?"

Li Xuewu nodded, knowing that Zhou Yamei could tell that he told her this on purpose.

If he doesn't want to express it, then just don't come today.

"I don't want to lie to you"

Li Xuewu sighed and said: "I hope you can come out as soon as possible and start a new life."

Zhou Yamei looked at Li Xuewu for a while, then she shed her tears and wiped her face with a handkerchief.

Fu Zhidong's voice came from the courtyard, and Zhou Yamei said "Don't mention it again" and went out.

Li Xuewu is famous for being cautious. If Fu Haibo is not dead, nothing will happen if Zhou Yamei is left by Gu Ning's side.

But Li Xuewu knew that the date could not be concealed, and he would not be at ease unless he explored Zhou Yamei's innermost feelings.

Just like what he told Fu Zhidong, women are emotional and don't know what choices they will make.

When Gu Ning came back, he had been observing Zhou Yamei until the last test just now, which made Zhou Yamei angry.

Li Xuewu didn't think anything was wrong. He knew what Zhou Yamei wanted and why he did that to him.

He knows Zhou Yamei's purpose better, he understands.

No one understands women better than him.

But seeing Zhou Yamei like this, he felt relieved.

He is not afraid of women's purposeful attachment and flattery, and he is even less afraid of women's utilitarian embrace.

Zhou Yamei is probably a little sad now. She is sad that Li Xuewu is cruel and never trusts her.

In fact, she is quite good, but there are too few people that Li Xuewu can trust.

If he had to name a few people he could trust, he would probably have to go to the more than 200 graves in the west of the city to count them.

"What time is the show?"

"seven o'clock"

It was still the same outfit he wore last spring outing. Li Xuewu's eyes lit up, wondering if this girl did it on purpose.

“It’s only after four o’clock”

Gu Ning ignored Li Xuewu's slightly aggressive gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Let's eat first"

Li Xuewu stood up with a smile and said as he walked out: "I know a Western restaurant that makes good food. Let's go and try it today."

When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw Fu Zhidong playing in the vegetable field and Zhou Yamei standing on the side of the road, lost in thought. Li Xuewu took the initiative and said, "I'll pack a portion for you and bring it back tonight."
