Almost at the same time, the woman in red also discovered me. The Xitang River was not wide. I smiled and said to her, "hi, we're meeting again!"

"Xitang is too small."

Our conversation alarmed Mi Cai. She opened her eyes and looked at the woman in red on the other side of the river. At the same time, the woman in red also looked at her. The look lasted for 5 seconds.

However, after the eyes were over, the woman in red left. It might be that Mi Cai and I were paired with each other that stimulated her loneliness.

After she left, I asked Mi Cai, "Why have you stared at her for so long?"

“Beauties always give people a few more glances.”

I sighed, "No wonder she stared at you for a long time!"

Mi Cai ignored my joke, but asked me seriously: "Do you know her?"

“Don’t know.”

"Then are you still talking to someone?"

"Is someone jealous?"

"You are too dishonest!"

I smiled and said, "Isn't she a tourist? The purpose of my chat with her is to discover potential customers in our inn."

“That’s a good reason.”

"certainly."

"I finally know the real purpose of opening an inn in Xitang!"

"What is the real purpose?"

"Follow the beauties of all kinds of people!"

"Am I that narrow-minded?"

"You are so narrow-minded!" He paused for a moment and said, "I think you should go back to Xuzhou with your father."

Looking at her competing appearance, I smiled helplessly. It seemed that jealousy was something in the woman's genes, so even a woman as indifferent as Mi Cai was not spared. But if you think about it more deeply, this is actually my luck, because she loves me, but the three words "I love you" she has not told me in person, nor has I said it to her.

This makes me feel that compared with other couples in love, we always lack some enthusiasm, but we cannot say we don’t love each other. This makes me a little confused, but I am not confused about the root cause of this situation, because one day we will say these three words to each other.

...

The next day, Mi Cai got up early. She bought breakfast for us and cleaned the room with no effort. All this was seen by Dad Ban and Mom.

Of course, this wasn't her intentional show, because she had done it yesterday.

Ban Dad had only two days off. After breakfast and lunch, Mi Cai and I took them to the station in Xitang.

Before leaving, my mother called Mi Cai aside and started chatting with her alone, and my father and I also had the opportunity to communicate alone.

Dad Ban said to me, "I have discussed the matter of opening an inn in Xitang."

I asked nervously, "You don't object, are you?"

"It's not that I don't object, it's because I really can't do anything to you."

My father said something sad, and I said after a while: "Actually, I know I am quite ignorant, but please give me this opportunity to complete the transformation of my life in Xitang."

Dad Ban sighed and patted me on the shoulder: "Of course we also hope you can do something, but lifelong affairs are the top priority in front of you. The time is almost over, so let's talk to Xiaomi about getting married."

I looked at Mi Cai, but I didn't guarantee anything to Ban Dad, because the word "marriage" is too far away for us now.

If you want to get married, at least you have to wait until Zhuomei is successfully listed in the United States and my inn will be in full bloom. Not to mention that it is blooming all over the country, but you have to go out of Xitang and gain initial popularity.

Only in this way can we break free from some real constraints and talk about marriage in a relatively comfortable environment.

...

The bus gradually drove away from the station. Mi Cai and I stood side by side, waved goodbye to Ban Dad and Mom until the car completely disappeared from our sight.

I raised my head and let out a heavy breath, because I finally temporarily avoided the pressure from my family, but the sense of responsibility in my heart became heavier. This heavy driving me to complete the transformation of my life in Xitang, otherwise I would not have any face to face them again.

At this moment, I had cut off all my retreat like a boat, and success or failure was in this inn that was still in the freezing period.

Mi Cai next to her grabbed my hand and asked softly: "You should be under a lot of pressure now, right?"

"Well... I feel like a soldier who is burning his boats at this moment, but I am facing a tragic war that has just begun!"

Mi Cai held my hand a little tightly, and her expression was very solemn. It took a long time to say to me: "Let's encourage each other."

I looked at her. Although she did not say it clearly, the three words "encourage to each other" have already shown her current situation. It is very likely that her struggle for power with Mi Zhongde has reached the most critical period.

...

When she returned to the inn, Mi Cai packed her luggage because she would fly from Shanghai to New York tomorrow.

I asked her, "What time will the plane be tomorrow?"

“Two o’clock in the afternoon.”

"It's time to set off from Xitang at noon tomorrow."

"I have to go to Suzhou to handle some affairs."

I nodded, but I didn't want her to leave like this. Finally, I thought of a good excuse and said to her: "You are here this time, I'm driving Milan's car, and you will also send your own car back. I'll drive it back to Suzhou for you."

"No need, let's put this car on your side, maybe it's useful."

Mi Cai's refusal made me feel a little disappointed. After another silence, I finally let go of the man's face and whispered to her: "Actually... I want to stay with you for a while."

Her luggage was packing suddenly stopped, and she looked at me with reluctance, because this separation will be more than a month, and maybe longer.

She hugged me and said to me with a sob, "I can't bear to leave you either...but many things are involuntary."

I hugged her tightly and said in her ear: "I understand, so I cherish every minute and every second I can be together. Let me accompany you to Suzhou, okay?"

Mi Cai nodded slightly.

I hugged her tighter and kissed her cheek again, but the reluctance did not melt in this sweet kiss, so I sang the song "Reserved" in her ear softly.

She shed tears again in my singing, perhaps because of the grievances she had suffered, or perhaps because of the two separated hearts leaning against each other again.

...

Holding hands with Mi Cai and standing outside the inn door, the sunshine at noon today seemed to be brighter than usual, and there was a hint of hot smell in the air. Only then did I remember that since I met Mi Cai, I had already passed autumn, winter and spring.

Spring is coming to an end now, but the summer that belongs to us has not come yet, but this does not prevent me from looking forward to it, looking forward to the enthusiasm of summer, and looking forward to her appearing in front of me in a white long dress.
