Xia Yue was about to speak but stopped. She felt that Gu Ziyi was in trouble, but she just refused to admit it. After all, this was a matter between two people. She had no right to say anything. She could only watch their development as a bystander.
Xia Yue predicted the final outcome because Gu Ziyi couldn't let go and Luo Lian was obsessed with it. However, no one can make a complete conclusion until the end.
"Maybe he is only childish in front of you. I have never seen him childish in front of anyone." Xia Yue said.
Luo Lian is calm and self-possessed in front of others, somewhat similar to Gu Ziyi.
Both of them seemed to be very calm and restrained people.
I really can't imagine when these two people will break down.
Gu Ziyi thought for a while: "Actually, after meeting me, it made me firm up my mind."
Xia Yue waited for her to continue.
"I still refuse. I think it's not suitable for us to be together, not suitable for love, not suitable for marriage, and not suitable for starting a family." In Gu Ziyi's case, the love in her heart is not enough to support her to devote her life to it. It's too risky and has no guarantees.
Gu Ziyi spoke from her heart: "I am very determined about this idea, even more determined than before. I didn't hesitate, I thought about it carefully... Luo Lian actually can't give me what I want. What I want is stability, From the beginning, Luo Lian could not give him this kind of stability."
With Xia Yue, Gu Ziyi didn't need to lie.
Xia Yue was silent for a moment: "Gu Ziyi, you are very smart, but it does not apply to everything." Being too rational is not suitable for life, and life is filled with sensibility in every aspect.
It's not that Gu Ziyi is not so rational and restrained, but... it may be a lot more limiting.
No understanding person has ever been able to cross the muddy waters of this world.
There has never been a foolish person who could not travel thousands of miles in the world of mortals.
He is always half-knowing and half-unknown, half-understood and half-uninformed, half-vulgar and half-not-vulgar. This is what counts as a living person.
"I just want to be 'opportunistic'." Gu Ziyi admitted, "I don't want to waste any time. I want to get to the end point directly. Stable and unchanged for a lifetime. Maybe it is particularly ridiculous to say such a thing from my mouth."
She is an extremely realistic person, but the words coming out of her mouth now are particularly innocent and romantic.
In her heart, she longs for an unchanging relationship.
But reality contains many uncertainties.
You can break up if you're in love, you can divorce if you get married, you can be in love or not in love...
very many…
She was also afraid in her heart, afraid of paying by mistake, afraid of wasting, afraid of squandering...
How to do it
No solution.
Xia Yue thought for a long time and then said: "Just... take it one step at a time." No one knows what the future will be like.
Take it one step at a time.
Anyway, there is only time in this world that cannot be turned back, cannot be controlled by others, and can only be moved forward.
No matter how much you put it off, time will give you a push.
Gu Ziyi sighed: "Sometimes I feel like my relationship is in a mess."
"Because the people you met before were not good people." Xia Yue chuckled.
Gu Ziyi also laughed: "Do you have a special physique? Do you only attract scumbags?"
"Then I don't know." Xia Yue shrugged.
The two chatted for a long time.
It wasn't until Gu Ziyi felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawned that she hung up the video call.
—
On weekends, Luo Lian simply heated up two slices of bread and fried an egg in the morning.
He brought breakfast to the table and had just brushed the jam on the bread slices when he heard footsteps in the corridor.
With the bread in his mouth, he walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. I saw three or four people on this floor, and I didn’t know what they were talking about.
After a while, Luo Lian finished his breakfast, then opened the door and went out to throw away the trash.
It was discovered that the couple Deng Zhiming and Chen Chu were also watching the fun.
A middle-aged woman and two middle-aged men. One of them was a short, fat man wearing a suit and spoke very politely. "I'll contact the owner of 502 first. We can't break in either."
"You have to resolve this matter as soon as possible. The walls downstairs are flooded," the middle-aged woman said.
The middle-aged man echoed: "Yes, he has water leaking upstairs, and we are suffering downstairs."
"Yes, yes, I'll call the owner of 502 right now." said the short, fat middle-aged man.
Luo Lian deduced that the pudgy man in a suit was from the property management company, and the two middle-aged men should be the owners downstairs.
Luo Lian didn't listen to the excitement and was about to go down and throw away the garbage. He threw the sorted garbage into their respective trash cans. Then prepare to go to the department store to buy something. Now his refrigerator has nothing but wine, including all kinds of fruity beers and pure beers.
The various cooking recipes he bought before have arrived. He also tried to make some before, but the results were not good. Cooking is not something that can be accomplished overnight, so Luo Lian plans to "practice the true knowledge."
He went to the department store and lingered in the vegetable section. In fact, he had no idea what to buy. He was still a "kitchen novice" so far, and it was difficult to get promoted. So he just looked at what some housewives who often went to the supermarket were buying, and he bought similar things.
Then I went to the fruit section and bought some oranges and lemons. I don’t have any particular preference for fruits.
He didn't seem to be particularly interested in anything. I don’t have anything I particularly like, only one person I particularly like.
I walked around, picked out my items, and then went to the checkout counter to pay.
After paying the bill, I came out with my shopping bags.
Return to the apartment along the same route.
As soon as he walked downstairs of the community, there was the sound of cars behind him, and he couldn't help but look back.
A red car with a slightly familiar license plate number.
Then he withdrew his gaze, entered the first floor, and waited for the elevator.
Not long after, another person came in and stood next to Luo Lian, waiting for the elevator together.
When there is an extra person around you, you will naturally become wary, and then you can't help but look at the other person.
So the two people turned their heads at the same time, and then froze at the same time.
Just now outside the apartment building, one was in the car and the other was wearing a peaked cap, so neither of them could see their faces clearly. Now we are so close, we can see clearly.
"Luo Lian?"
"Gu Ziyi?"
Oh, the earth is so small.
What a coincidence that I can meet you everywhere.
Neither of them were wearing the usual suits, leather shoes, shirts and skirts that they usually see.
One was wearing sportswear and a peaked cap.
One was wearing casual clothes, with an extra large T-shirt and ripped jeans on his lower body.
It's just... quite novel.
Can't help but look at each other more.
"Why are you here?" they asked in unison.
Both of them were surprised by the other's appearance. It felt like it was impossible to meet here, but they did. It was very strange.
"My home is here."
"I live here."
Answered almost simultaneously.
