As soon as Qin Zheng entered the house, he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen. At the beginning, she smiled with gratitude, but when she thought about Song Zixiu's sudden appearance, she frowned again.
After hearing the noise, Lu Kowei walked out of the kitchen with a spatula in his hand. He said with a smile, "Aunt, you're back. I've prepared quite a few delicious dishes for you."
At first, Qin Zheng was happy that she was sensible, but then she felt that she was just trying to curry favor with another man. In an instant, her heart sank. She had always been decisive and rarely hesitated when doing things, but because of the matter with Lu Kewei, it was rare for her to be in disarray. Like she said, he was the most important person in the world to her right now.
Qin Zheng's guess wasn't wrong. Lu Kewei was preparing a feast tonight. On one hand, it was to celebrate Qin Zheng's return, and on the other hand, he wanted to find an opportunity to talk about Song Zixiu and her.
When it was time to eat, Qin Zheng looked at the table full of dishes and chided, "There's so much that we can't eat at all."
"If you're afraid of wasting it, I can call Zixiu over to eat. Every time, no matter what I cook, he'll be able to eat it all."
She thought that she was being too deliberate in Qin Zheng's eyes. Qin Zheng didn't want to eat yet, so she was unhappy. She pretended not to hear what she said and replied lightly: "Eat first." After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
Qin Zheng paid more attention to table manners and didn't like to talk during meals. She did not say anything, and Lu Kewei was unable to take the initiative to mention Song Zixiu. For a moment, he felt as if his whole body was scratching his ears and his cheeks.
After the meal, Qin Zheng sat in the living room reading a book while Lu Kewei washed the dishes in the kitchen. She hadn't seen Song Zixiu for a whole day, so she didn't know what he had done or even called him at all. For a moment, she felt a bit angry. She was trying to think of a way to make Qin Zheng accept him, but as the person in question, there was no news of him for a whole day.
After he washed the dishes, he made a fruit platter and placed it on the tea table in front of Qin Zheng. He said with a smile, "Auntie, eat some fruits."
Qin Zheng glanced at her and ate a pear under her gaze. After eating, he could still feel Lu Kewei's gaze. He took off the reading glasses on his nose, looked at her and said, "Ke Wei, I know you want to tell me something. I also want to say something, so listen to me first."
"Okay." Lukwey nodded, waiting for her to speak with a cute look on his face.
Qin Zheng saw that she was reminiscing too many things, and felt deeply moved. He then said, "Ke Wei, why don't you break up with Song Zixiu."
Lu Kewei's first reaction was to be completely stunned. His mind was also shocked, so he instantly stopped. He could only ask foolishly, "Aunt, why?"
Qin Zheng knew she was reluctant to part with him when he saw her expression. He pulled her hand and explained, "Ke Wei, do you know his family? For example, if there was someone in his family, or if they were friendly. Also, I remember you once said that his family was rich, so is this life of a rich person the same as the life you're seeing now? "
Lu Kewei felt dizzy as he replied, "Aunt, I didn't think that much. I only thought that I liked him and he also liked me. The two of us should be together."
Qin Zheng stroked her hair, "Silly girl, if the two of us really want to be together, we will definitely reach that stage." "Auntie will definitely stay in Edinburgh. If you are with him, you will definitely follow him back to the country. What do you want Auntie to do then?" He paused and looked her in the eye, asking, "Can you bear to leave your aunt here by herself?"
As soon as he raised his eyes, he could see more and more white hair on Qin Zheng's head and the wrinkles on his forehead growing deeper and deeper at the corner of his eyes.
Of course, she couldn't bear to leave Qin Zheng alone, but she also didn't want to part with Song Zixiu just like that. She felt anxious and her eyes gradually turned red. "Aunt, I definitely won't leave you alone."
Qin Zheng nodded in satisfaction, "Aunt, I am also reluctant to part with you. You should know that Aunt is the only one." Qin Zheng had no husband and no children in her life. She wasn't exaggerating when she said this.
"But Aunty, I really can't bear to part with him. I really like him, I like him very much."
Qin Zheng caressed her face and forced herself to say, "Ke Wei, you and him have only known each other for a short two months. If you were to say how deep your relationship is, your aunt doesn't think so. It's just that you haven't been in a relationship for the past few years, it's only natural that you wouldn't be willing to part with me when I suddenly ask you guys to. "
As he rested his head on Qin Zheng's thin knee, he couldn't stop the tears from rolling down his cheeks.
Qin Zheng began to caress her hair again. Seeing how sad she was, she felt bad, but she really couldn't be together with Song Zi anymore. The two of them had been in bad luck from the start, not to mention the fact that they barely had a day together. She really did it for her own good to let the two of them break up.
"Ke Wei, there's another question. You said that his family background is very good. He has already been here for two months, and now that he is doing this, he will definitely go back home to help. How long do you think he can stay here?" Song Zixiu being able to spend so much time and effort on Lu Kewei made Qin Zheng feel better, but he knew he couldn't stay there any longer. After all, he was still the first in the old man's heart.
However, most of the time she worked on the computer, and occasionally she would make phone calls as well. Furthermore, she had thought about the time difference, so if he contacted them according to the time of the day in the country, it would just happen to be in the early hours of the morning, so she didn't know much about his busy work. There was a reason why she did not know much about it.
Qin Zheng continued: "If he were to leave and return to the country, how long do you think it would take for you to maintain your relationship with him? For matters of the heart, how many people could endure a period of estrangement without breaking up? If you are willing to sacrifice yourself for him, leave your aunt and return to your hometown. However, this kind of sacrifice is too big, and his family will definitely not be simple.
The tears had already made Qin Zheng's pants completely wet, but he still listened attentively to her words.
"Actually, in aunt's imagination, I just hope that you can find an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. If you marry him and have a child, you can just end your life like this. "If you want to learn from aunt, you can marry for the rest of your life. Although aunt doesn't dare to say that you're a rich person, but I can still support you for the rest of your life with my money." Her own ability wasn't bad, and with the fact that she owned all of the Qin family's old patriarch's possessions after his death, she could be considered a rich person.
Lu Kewei raised his head and grabbed Qin Zheng's hand as he pleaded, "Aunt, I understand what you mean, but can you give me some more time?"
Qin Zheng nodded. Of course, she didn't want to force her, but it wasn't that she and Song Zixiu hadn't been together before. That man wasn't her good person. She thought again of her meeting with Luo Yunfei at school today, who had suddenly returned to Edinburgh. She had seen long ago that the young man liked Luke, and she had felt that he was not bad, but she had never seen him speak his mind aloud.
After seeing him return home as soon as he graduated, he understood that the reason he didn't express his intentions was for the sake of Lu Ke Wei. In his heart, he had even more of a favorable impression towards this young man. However, she had only exchanged a few words today. She had already heard that after Luo Yunfei was ready to study here, he would either stay at school or work there if he had the chance. If he really had such plans in the future, he could give it a try with Lu Kewei.
However, Qin Zheng knew that matters of the heart could not be forced. Everything could only be done slowly. He had to first separate Lu Ke and Song Zixiu.
After conversing with Qin Zheng for a while, Lu Kewei became agitated. She sat in the bathtub for a long time. The hot air made her entire body turn pink, and her fingers became wrinkled while soaking in the water.
When she finally got out of the bathtub, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror and looked at herself. The heat made the surface of the mirror foggy. She reached out her hand to wipe away a small patch, just in time to see her face. Her skin seemed whiter than usual, and her eyes were puffy and pitiful. His naked body was visible in the mirror, but he could still see that the person inside was still very young.
However, at this moment, Lu Kewei felt as if his heart had aged. Was her future life really going to end like Qin Zheng had said? But in this world, what she didn't want was to make Qin Zheng sad.
She found a towel and wrapped it around her, then went into the bedroom.
The phone beside her bed was ringing. She walked over and saw that the caller was the person she had been thinking about all day. She suddenly hesitated as to whether she should answer his call. In the end, she pressed the answer button to her ear with her eyes closed.
"Ke Wei, what are you doing? I called you many times but you didn't answer. I thought there was something wrong. " Song Zixiu's voice was filled with love and anxiety.
"I was taking a bath just now. I accidentally took a long shower." Lu Kewei pretended to be relaxed as he replied.
Song Zixiu smiled, "Don't take a bath for too long. You often get dizzy when you do things. No one knows that even if you take a bath for too long, no one will know."
"What are you doing today?" I didn't see you in the shop either. "
Song Zixiu laughed and asked: "You miss me for not showing up for a day?"
For the first time, Lu Kewei did not intentionally bicker with him. Instead, he answered with a soft "En".
Song Zixiu's face was filled with a gentle smile as he asked, "Do you really miss me?"
"En." Lu Kewei followed up with another "En".
Song Zixiu seemed to think for a while before saying, "Change your clothes, and after about half an hour, we'll go out for a walk." After that, he added, "I've missed you too."
She was afraid that if she was discovered by Qin Zheng, she would hate Song Zixiu even more, but she missed him a lot. She really wanted to see him immediately, so she agreed.
Lu Kewei quickly changed into a linen dress and put on a cardigan. Although it was summer, the night was still a bit cold.
She opened the door to her bedroom. The living room was dark, and she thought that Qin Zheng must have already fallen asleep.
When she got downstairs, she stood under the big tree by the roadside for a while before waiting for Song Zixiu.
It was unknown if the two of them felt it in their hearts, but when Song Zixiu saw her, he quickly walked a few steps forward, picked her up in his arms, and kissed her. Their lips and tongues were entangled, and their bodies were touching. Deep in their hearts, their longing turned into the urge to get intimate with each other.
Song Zixiu's grip on her waist was very strong, almost breaking it. However, it was as if Lu Kangwei didn't feel it at all. He could only hope that he could feel the pain from this feeling.
When the two of them separated a little, Song Zixiu's lips were still pressed against her face, and he was panting heavily, as if he had to borrow the other's strength to stand still.
The tree was covered in leaves, which just happened to obstruct the two's figure that was nestling together.
Song Zixiu kissed the corner of her mouth and said unsteadily: "Ke Wei, I miss you so much. Why don't you come to my house?"
Of course, Lu Kewei knew what he meant, but he agreed without hesitation.
