I have met and had friends who have been with each other. When I grow up, I have different aspirations and disagreements, and go my separate ways. Although I am sorry, it is also the norm in life.

After getting engaged, the rumor of the rumor gradually subsided. Zhao Nanxiao no longer paid attention to Xu Shu's movements, but occasionally, he would inevitably see or hear something about him.

He still played with his motorcycle and band, but he was much more restrained than in the first two years. He never missed classes for no reason, and his studies gradually returned to normal.

Zhao Nanxiao also passively learned from the girl who "didn't off fans" and turned into "black fans" in the same bedroom that she heard a lot of news about what a certain girl had with him, but there was no such a big secret as she had created with Sheng Sisi before.

In the second half of my senior year, some of my classmates in the department took the postgraduate entrance examination, some were busy looking for jobs, and some were preparing to study abroad. The atmosphere of graduation became stronger and stronger.

Zhao Nanxiao has successfully applied for study abroad qualification and is on the same school as Ye Zhizhou, a very good and famous private university.

According to the arrangement agreed by the two families early, Ye Zhizhou returned to China at the end of June. After she completed the graduation ceremony and other matters in early July, the two held a wedding and then went abroad together.

Zhao Nanxiao's life was peaceful and smooth, and she followed the steps. She marked the calendar and waited for the time to pass day by day. She could complete the things she had made reservations one by one.

In April, something happened. One day, my mother Shen Xiaoman told her that Ye Zhizhou's mother was not in good health recently. Although she was not seriously injured, it would be better to ask her to visit her as soon as possible.

Ye’s mother is very nice to her. Ye Zhizhou is abroad, so she often calls and sends messages to ask about her well-being. Recently, she has not taken the initiative to look for her because she is busy with her graduation thesis.

Upon hearing the news, Zhao Nanxiao immediately put down what he had and bought fruits and flowers to go to the Ye family. When Zhao Nanxiao arrived, he saw a girl also at the Ye family.

She knew that this girl, named Guan Li, was two years older than her. She used to be in the student union with Ye Zhizhou, which was the economics girl she had heard of whom she had pursued Ye Zhizhou and was rejected by him. She had a good family background and was the only daughter. After graduation two years ago, she entered the system.

She also brought flowers and fruits, sat next to Ye's mother, holding a fruit knife, peeling apples for Ye's mother, talking and laughing.

Before Guan Li graduated, Zhao Nanxiao only met her several times at school, but she couldn't even get to know her formally. She never knew that Guan Li and Ye's mother had a good relationship. She walked over and greeted her with a smile.

Guan Li was also very graceful. She stood up to respond to her, and even called herself a senior sister, smiling, and greeted her, saying she would leave first if she had something to do.

Zhao Nanxiao greeted Ye's mother and chatted with her, apologized for being so busy that she was unable to visit her earlier. Ye's mother said it was okay, but she was just a minor illness, so she told her not to worry about it, and it was important to be busy with her own affairs.

This visit made Zhao Nanxiao feel that although Ye’s mother’s attitude towards her seemed similar to before, she always gave her a subtle sense of change.

She seemed to have something to hide from herself and she was hiding something.

On the weekend, she contacted Ye Zhizhou, talked about her feelings, and mentioned her encounter with Guan Li at his house. Ye Zhizhou immediately comforted her and said it was her illusion. As for Guan Li, the parents of both sides have been interacting with each other. Now his mother is not in good health, so she just comes to visit her, so don't think too much. Finally, he said that he happened to have time these days and planned to fly back to see his mother first.

Zhao Nanxiao didn't think too much. He heard his explanation and was also busy, so he quickly left the matter behind.

A few days later, Ye Zhizhou really came back to see his mother. During this period, he asked Zhao Nanxiao to go to Ye's house for a meal, and then he wanted to go back, so that Zhao Nanxiao would not have to send him away.

This time he came back, and he only stayed for three days in total. The two of them had only met once, and they had eaten that time and took her home after dinner.

The strange feeling in Zhao Nanxiao's previous heart came out again. I don't know if it was her own illusion, but she felt that even Ye Zhizhou was different from before. He had something to do. And to be honest, Ye's mother's illness was not very serious. He flew back to stay for three days just to see her. Zhao Nanxiao always felt a little strange.

That day, Zhao Nanxiao insisted on driving him to the airport. Before parting, he asked him if he had something to hide from him.

Ye Zhizhou said it was okay.

Zhao Nanxiao said: It’s best if you’re okay. After all, we’re about to get married, so we’re almost the same as a family. If something happens to you, you can tell me whatever you want to make me think about it. If you can help me, I will definitely help you. If I can’t help, I will definitely support you.

Ye Zhizhou immediately apologized to her repeatedly, saying that he had encountered a bottleneck in his studies there, so he was not in good condition, so he told her not to be too careful, and promised that he would tell her if there was something wrong. Finally, he emphasized that everything would go according to the original plan, and he would come back at the end of June and the two would get married.

His tone was firm. Zhao Nanxiao believed him, and she couldn't think of any reason he had to lie to herself.

After seeing him off, about half a month later, one night, she returned home from the laboratory and was about to take the subway nearby. A car behind her drove up and parked next to her. The window glass fell down, and it turned out to be Xu Shu in the car.

Because she was about to graduate and rarely attended classes, she was busy with her own heart. She hadn't seen him at some point, and she didn't expect to meet him here.

He asked her to come up and said by the way.

On the way, Zhao Nanxiao asked a few questions about his plans after graduation. After all, he took a ride and didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was strange.

He responded casually, saying it was not certain, and he didn't seem to want to talk too much, so Zhao Nanxiao fell silent.

When the car was about to arrive at her house, he suddenly turned around and drove the car to a nearby community park and stopped, saying, "Come with me and ask you if you have something to do."

Zhao Nanxiao was puzzled, but he also went in with him. He arrived at a deserted corner. He stopped and saw that he still didn't say anything. Instead, he took out a cigarette and started smoking. He asked him what he was going to say.

He finally spoke: "Ye Zhizhou hasn't told you what he has said to you recently?"

Zhao Nanxiao looked at him.

He immediately said, "Don't get me wrong, I have no interest in spying on your privacy. I just want to know, he would tell you, you will get married in July and go abroad together?"

His tone was light, and Zhao Nanxiao was naturally unhappy when he heard this, and said with a suffocation: "It seems to have nothing to do with you. Sorry, if you are referring to this, I'm back, thank you for sending me back. You drive slowly, don't let the old Superman's car."

She turned around and wanted to leave, but saw him showing a strange expression that looked like a smile, and sprayed a cigarette at her, with a frivolous tone: "If the future great architect marrys you, I will never sleep with women in my life."

Zhao Nanxiao looked at him in surprise.

"Zhao Nanxiao, for the sake of knowing each other for many years, I advise you to see clearly with your eyes wide and be careful. Don't be stupid. If you don't catch anything in the end, you will still be in a mess."

Zhao Nanxiao was choked by the mouth of cigarette he sprayed directly into his face, coughed, and scolded him: "Xu Shu, are you sick? I don't care whether you sleep with men or women, what does it have to do with me? I beg you, don't bother me for no reason, I'll thank God!"

When she scolded him, he held a cigarette in his mouth, glanced at her sideways, and sneered without saying a word.

Zhao Nanxiao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he left him with anger and didn't catch up with him again.

Afterwards, Zhao Nanxiao advised herself not to argue with him, but this little accident still cast a shadow in her heart. She thought of the strange feeling that the Ye family, including Ye Zhizhou, gave her before, and took the opportunity to visit Ye's mother the next day and said that her mother asked her to tell her that no matter what problems they encounter in their marriage preparations, they could discuss with her.

Ye's mother looked much more energetic than before. She denied it and said nothing was wrong. She also asked her why she suddenly mentioned this and if someone said something bad in front of her.

When Zhao Nanxiao heard that she was so determined, she had doubts. Naturally, she would not mention Xu Shu, nor would she think about the stupid little episode that happened last night.

May passed and June ended. She graduated successfully from college to welcome the upcoming wedding. Shen Xiaoman attached great importance to it and sent invitations to relatives and friends early to be busy with the dowry. Everything seemed normal until half a month before the wedding, the situation changed.

For some reason, the Ye family suddenly became procrastinating about preparing for the wedding. Sometimes, for one thing, Shen Xiaoman made several calls, but Ye’s mother did not reply in time.

Just when Shen Xiaoman was dissatisfied, Ye Zhizhou came back one week earlier than the original date.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately came to comfort Shen Xiaoman and apologized repeatedly for his mother, saying that her health was a little inappropriate recently and that some things were not handled in time, not intentionally neglected. This was also the reason why he came back early, just to ensure that he could give Xiaonan the best wedding.

Shen Xiaoman then calmed down.

Half a month passed in a flash, Zhao Nanxiao and Ye Zhizhou took wedding photos and made an appointment to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate the day before the wedding.

That morning, she was waiting for Ye Zhizhou to pick her up at home. The appointment had been a long time, but he had not arrived yet and the phone was not available. Just when Zhao Nanxiao was worried about going to Ye’s house to check in, Ye Zhizhou’s aunt came over and brought a message.

Due to a sudden huge change in the Ye family, they may not be able to hold the wedding as scheduled. They ask for their forgiveness and forgiveness, and cancel all the economic losses caused by the cancellation of the wedding. The Ye family is willing to double compensation to show their sincere apology.

Shen Xiaoman was shocked and held back his anger and asked what was going on. The aunt of the Ye family was vague and said that it was a major event that concerns the life and death of the Ye family. Shen Xiaoman was furious and called, but the phone was not connected. She threw her cell phone on the spot and wanted to break to the Ye family to ask clearly. The aunt of the Ye family kept begging for mercy and apologizing and saying nice things.

Just as the trouble was so big, Ye Zhizhou rushed over and asked his aunt to go back, saying that he would explain the matter.

It was also at this point that Zhao Nanxiao finally understood what was going on.

The cause of the incident was that at the beginning of the year, his father had a handle on Guan Li's father. Later, after walking around, Guan's father promised to help settle the matter, and there would be no problems in the future and settle the matter.

This happened in April. The reason why his mother got sick was because of this. The three days he hurried back were also because of this. After all, it was not a glorious thing, so Zhao Nanxiao asked him at that time, and he kept it hidden and did not tell her.

"……Short after I returned to the United States, Guan Li suddenly came to find me."

When Zhao Nanxiao heard Guan Li's name, he looked at his haggard appearance and his heartbeat gradually accelerated.

"What's she asking for you?"

"The Guan family helped my father solve the problem. She asked me for dinner, but I couldn't refuse. You probably heard that she had expressed her affection for me in college before, but I didn't accept her at that time. I didn't expect that after dinner, she revealed this to me again. I refused and told her that I would marry you soon, and the two families were preparing for a marriage. She didn't say anything at that time, so I sent her away."

"I originally thought that things would be over, but I didn't expect that my mother suddenly contacted me half a month ago and asked me to cancel my wedding with you and consider getting married to Guan Li in the future. So I came back early to solve the problem."

He said this, lowered his head and inserted his fingers deep into his hair, his expression of pain.

Zhao Nanxiao looked at him steadily: "It was Guan Li who talked to your mother about your father's affairs. Your mother was afraid and accepted it, and you couldn't solve this problem, right?"

He slowly raised his head, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Xiao Nan, I love you. I really love you. Even if I ask me to protect you with my own life, I will not hesitate at all. But I can't sit back and see my father be disgraced and indifferent. I wanted to talk to Guan Li. I didn't give up yesterday. She was just a threat. She didn't dare to come. If she really wanted to expose her, her own father would be implicated. As long as I persist, when we get married, we will go abroad immediately. What I didn't expect was that just last night, my mother committed suicide by swallowing half a bottle of sleeping pills and sent to the hospital. Now she is still in the hospital..."

"Xiao Nan, I'm sorry for you. I know I have no shame to say that I ask you to forgive me, but I still hope that you can wait for me and give me some more time. I will definitely marry you..."

He swallowed even more, held Zhao Nanxiao's hand tightly, and burst into tears.

Zhao Nanxiao was silent for a long time and said, "Ye Zhizhou, your only and biggest mistake is that you have hidden me for so long until you can't hide it. At this time, the bad consequences have been amplified to the greatest extent. I have told you before that if there is something, you should tell me as soon as possible. If something happens like this, we could have discussed it early. As you said, it doesn't matter how long it will take. I can wait until it is completely resolved."

"And now..."

She suddenly remembered what someone said that day: It was a mess.

"Your mother is so intense that no matter whether she is real or scaring you, your parents will no longer accept me sincerely. And my family will not allow me to marry into a family that does not bless me."

She pulled her hand out of his palm and said to Shen Xiaoman, who was so angry that she was about to faint, she said: "Mom, call relatives and friends and tell me that the wedding will be cancelled tomorrow."

Misfortune never came alone. That night, her mother Chen Xiaoman came back from her grandfather because she was too angry. She accidentally fell down the stairs from the second floor. She hit her head on the stairs and was unconscious. She was sent to the intensive care unit. Her grandfather was very anxious and fell ill all of a sudden.

Everyone thinks that the wedding was cancelled the day before. This is certainly a shameful thing that has been discussed and speculated behind the scenes, but Zhao Nanxiao knows that what his family is most worried about is actually himself.

She pretended to be nothing in front of her visiting grandparents and relatives who comforted her relatives and friends, and took care of her mother and grandpa in disguise, and ran away from both sides. Three days later, her mother's condition finally improved. She moved into the general ward and stayed on the corridor bench outside the intensive care unit for several nights, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After waking up, the mother saw her and kept crying, saying that she was so haggard that she asked her to go home to rest immediately.

She went home to get things, but found that the key was lost, and the aunt went back to take care of her grandfather. She couldn't get in. She remembered that the things in the bag had just been taken down, and it might have fallen out at that time, so she went down to look for it.

It was already dark. She used her mobile phone to light the flashlight and searched the road she had just walked, but she still couldn't find the key.

The phone's power was exhausted and dimmed, and finally the screen was wiped out. She squatted alone in the shadow of the corner of the unmanned green belt, covered her face with her hands, and started crying silently.

From childhood to adulthood, she has been serious in everything she does, her studies are like this, and helping others, including four years ago she decided to accept Ye Zhizhou's feelings. Even though she was passive at the beginning, she took it seriously later.

She didn't know whether her feelings for Ye Zhizhou could be considered love, but after four years of being together, she gradually got used to her existence around her. Even if it was not the kind of passionate love that made people blush and beep when they remembered, then what's wrong? Love can never be limited to one kind of love, and she can't have no feelings that have been devoted to.

Marrying him and spending her whole life with her, this is what she thought. However, she didn't expect that in the end, Xu Shu, the little bastard, made a prophecy and a curse come true. Such an accident happened on the eve of the wedding, which made her grandfather fall ill and her mother almost died.

Since she cried because of her father's accident on her 16th birthday, she has never cried again for so many years until tonight.
