When Gu Ziyi heard Xia Yue's words, she raised her eyebrows and said, "I think I should refuse more thoroughly, right?"
Xia Yue said: "No, I think I should agree to him."
Gu Ziyi's expression froze, astonished by Xia Yue's answer. "Promise?" Her tone was full of disbelief.
Xia Yue didn't panic and nodded: "Yes."
Gu Ziyi frowned and stared at Xia Yue's face, "Why?" She was very surprised by Xia Yue's answer.
Xia Yue sighed softly: "To be honest, you have never let go of Luo Lian at all. You obviously like him. If it were me in your place, I would choose to agree. I can probably know where you are timid. But I I feel that if you don’t try it, you won’t be able to predict the result in advance. Maybe the result is not as bad as you think. Of course, maybe it is really that bad. However, after you try it, you can give up more completely. . Kill all thoughts, and you won’t be hesitant. You won’t be uneasy because of rejection.”
Xia Yue's idea is actually very simple. Life is actually not long, and certainly not short. A person actually has time to try, there is no need to be afraid of squandering time, and there is no need to be afraid of wasting time.
Because someone has already lived the same life. Do you have to be one of them
I had the opportunity to try it, but chose to ignore it.
What comes next
Will you regret it if you miss it
Will you regret it more than if you tried it
Gu Ziyi opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but couldn't.
Xia Yue looked at her and sighed, "Of course, I only express my personal opinion." It was not suitable for her to interfere in other people's affairs, and she was not a troublemaker.
Gu Ziyi was silent, lowered her eyelashes, and thought alone for a few minutes.
Xia Yue guessed that Gu Ziyi probably couldn't think of anything. If the conclusion could be drawn so easily, it would not have been delayed until now with no result.
Xia Yue changed the topic, which at least eased the atmosphere.
But Gu Ziyi was distracted because of Xia Yue's words, so she had no interest in chatting.
After staying in Xia Yue's shop for a while, Gu Ziyi packed up and left.
Xia Yue walked her to the door of the store, "Gu Ziyi."
"Huh?" Gu Ziyi turned around and looked at Xia Yue behind her.
Xia Yue said to her: "It's okay to think about things that are not urgent."
Gu Ziyi raised the corners of her lips, her eyes gentle, "Yeah."

Luo Lian woke up in the morning and heard footsteps coming and going in the corridor. After he washed up, he was about to go around the community.
He took the elevator downstairs. I heard from Jian Fan that the greening in this community is quite good. The air is fresh and the scenery is beautiful.
He hasn't had this kind of leisure time for a long time.
There are quite a few residents in the community, and it can be seen that the neighborhood relations are quite good. There were also some old men playing chess together at the stone table under the tree, and many people gathered together in the small park to chat.
Luo Lian walked around the community and got a general idea of its location. He might be living here for a while after all.
A call came in on his phone.
Luo Lian was wearing headphones, so he didn't take a closer look at who was calling and answered the call directly, "Hello?"
"Luo Lian, can we meet?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone. Luo Lian was stunned for a moment before he remembered that the voice was Pei Yuan.
"Is something wrong?" Luo Lian asked.
Pei Yuan's tone was quite calm, and she was indeed unable to move away a while ago. Because Pei Jing knew that she might go to Luo Lian on impulse, he asked his seventh aunt and eighth aunt to drag her back to his hometown for a while.
"I want to meet you and have a good chat with you."
Luo Lian pursed her lips and said, "Is there anything else you don't know about? I've already told your father once."
There was a brief silence on Pei Yuan's side, "I think it's appropriate for you to tell me this kind of thing in person. Tell my father, I didn't see or hear what you said on the spot."
Luo Lian couldn't help but laugh. He always felt that Pei Yuan's childishness would never go away. "Do we have to meet?"
"Yes!" Pei Yuan was very sure.
"Okay." It was nothing more than repeating what he had said to Pei Jing before.
In fact, after Luo Mingsheng and Pei Jing talked about giving up their marriage, Pei Jing contacted Luo Lian.
Out of politeness to his elders, Luo Lian met Pei Jing and talked to him seriously about the matter.
Luo Lian didn't want to force herself to accept anything.
He has been pushed and pushed until today, why should he force himself
He just wanted to have a choice.
It didn't exist before, but it should exist now.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Lian sat on the bench in the community for a while. He sat in silence for a while, until his stomach sent out a signal of dissatisfaction. He just came back to his senses.
He hadn't eaten breakfast, so it was normal to be hungry now.
Luo Lian returned to the apartment. He also bought some instant noodles yesterday. At this moment, I just cooked some noodles for a while.
Luo Lian also ordered several books about cooking online, with various recipes.
He only plans to learn cooking in the near future. He will still have to make a living in the future, and he can't just eat takeout all the time.
Luo Lian took the noodle bowl to the living room and randomly selected a TV series to play. I glance at it from time to time while eating. To be honest, he quite likes this kind of life.
The solitary life of an old single man.
Luo Lian couldn't help but laugh.
He was eating when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Luo Lian glanced at his face and reluctantly opened the door.
A couple who looked to be in their thirties.
Both men stood at his door.
"Are you...?" Luo Lian didn't know these two people.
The man wears glasses and looks very honest. "We are across the street from each other. I heard that there is a new neighbor, so I came over to say hello. My surname is Deng, Deng Zhiming. This is my wife, Chen Chu."
Chen Chu reached out and lifted up the bag in his hand, "I don't have anything to give you. This is the kimchi we made ourselves."
Luo Lian was slightly startled. This was the first time he had experienced this kind of situation. So I didn't know how to react for a while.
Deng Zhiming said: "From now on, we are all neighbors, and we can help with anything."
Luo Lian came to his senses and said, "My name is Luo Lian." Then he took the kimchi held by Chen Chu and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. There are only four households on this floor. We can help each other with anything." Chen Chu said with a smile.
Luo Lian asked: "How come I didn't see anyone coming or going from the other two households?"
There are four households on this floor, two on each side.
Luo Lian was in No. 501, and he didn't see anyone coming or going in No. 502 or 504. Luo Lian saw this couple yesterday when they were taking out the trash, but they didn't make a deep impression on them.
"The owner of No. 502 seems to have been on a business trip recently, and I haven't seen him in recent months. No. 504 is an old lady, and she usually goes out for a walk in the evening." Deng Zhiming said.
