After Yan Zhuomei said her bottom line, the atmosphere suddenly approached the freezing point, because her request once again threw me at the fork in fate, and I could not give up everything in China and live in the United States!

Fortunately, Mi Cai is rejecting Yan Zhuomei. She is not willing to go to the United States in her heart. Otherwise, I really have no way to control myself to make a choice, because no matter how I choose, it will be a mistake that cannot be remedied!

During the silence, Yan Zhuomei said to me and Mi Cai again: "I know this is not something that can be made immediately, so I can give you some time to think about it after you return to Xuzhou... In addition, I can tell you that although I have been away from China for a long time, it is still easy to do such a small thing as not getting a marriage certificate. You must believe me in this!"

Mi Cai frowned and said to her, "I hate threats!"

"Xiao Cai, you are wrong. This is not a threat, but a kind reminder... You must understand that in the United States, your children, that is, my grandson, will stand at the best starting point to start their own life...!" She stopped and said to me: "Zhaoyang, if you really love Xiao Cai, you will accept my proposal...Xiao Cai is my daughter, and an elite among the elite. If she hadn't been too emotional, she would not have been defeated in Zhuomei's battle... So the root of her failure lies in you. You can't delay her again, and you can't trap her in Xuzhou and become a mediocre housewife. Such a life is a blasphemy for her... Because her family has given her a special mission!"

"I..." I wanted to refute, but I refuted silently. In the end, thousands of words ended after the word "I".

At this time, Yan Zhuomei put down the chopsticks in her hand, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, nodded and said, "The food is good, but I don't like eating too much at night, so I will stop here tonight... I am a person who keeps my word. You can go back to Xuzhou freely, and then keep my request in mind and think about it... My business is too busy, and I will have to go back to the United States tomorrow. I hope you will answer me as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for your phone number in the United States!"

After saying this, Yan Zhuomei picked up her handbag and left cleanly. This kind of cleanliness without any words became a huge burden for me, making it difficult for me to face everything I was facing in my life calmly... I could only passively wait for Mi Cai to give me an attitude and tell me: What she wants is her current life, not to go to the United States to fulfill the mission entrusted to her by her family!

......

After cleaning the dishes, Mi Cai and I washed up in the bathroom together, lay on the bed together, and looked at the old chandelier on the ceiling together. The light radiating around seemed to reflect our different thoughts. I was nervous, she was confused...

The night was deeper in our silence, but time was unable to take away the bad weather. The sound of rain from the window was still clear and audible. I kept distracting most of my attention and listening, and then I didn't think about the things that made me feel sad... Finally, Mi Cai looked at me sideways, she put her arm on my chest and asked softly: "Zhaoyang, if I chose to go to the United States, would you go with me?"

My heart suddenly felt aching, and the suffocation squeezed my brain as if I had no ability to think. I kept looking at Mi Cai in a daze... I don't know if her question was because she changed her mind.

Mi Cai just looked at me, but she didn't ask any more. After a while, I finally realized something and said to her: "This is really painful for me... I can't make a choice!"

"Do you know why I asked that?"

"I may know, but I can't be sure!"

"You think I'm shaken, do you?"

I swallowed my saliva in pain, but was reluctant to speak for a long time. I was afraid of hearing the choice that made me fall into endless pain... I couldn't give up my feelings for Mi Cai, and I couldn't give up my father and mother, so that they had no place to rely on in their old age!

Mi Cai's expression was a little disappointed, but she smiled slightly and said, "You fool, since I know that this choice will make you extremely painful, how could I bear to make a choice? ... What I asked was because I saw your lack of confidence in our relationship in your restlessness, which made me a little angry! ... We have already reached this point, don't we even have this tacit understanding?"

"Of course we have a tacit understanding... But Yan Zhuomei's words of coercion and temptation really played a role in my heart... I have a deep sense of guilt, and I took you on a road that seemed to have no return!"

"You also said that it is a road without a return, so how can I turn back and make a new choice? ...If you really feel guilty, you must work harder to love me in the future. Let's manage our future life together so that no one has to worry about whether the past choice is right or wrong... right?"

Mi Cai's words seemed to turn into a clear spring and flowed through my heart. I nodded heavily and replied: "You are right... I think too much!"

"You think too much because you always see the gap between us as important, so when others say it, your first reaction is to shake... But does the gap you think really exist?"

"We all live in a world dominated by matter, and this gap certainly exists... Have you forgotten? When we first met, I was just an angry young man who couldn't understand the world, living a life without a fixed place, and you are the leader of a group... This gap is really too obvious and has been deeply rooted in my brain!"

"Then I'll give you an example to understand that this gap really doesn't matter."

I nodded, hoping that she could help me untie this long-standing knot. I still remember that when I was with Jian Wei, this knot was already an indelible nightmare for me. I have been depressed and degenerated because of this!

Mi Cai thought for a moment and said, "The gap between you and Jian Wei was also very obvious... But what about a few years later? Everything she has has become a bubble... Zhaoyang, you have to understand that this is a world where one rises and one falls. The so-called gap can exist on the surface, but it must not exist in our hearts!... Because no one knows what will happen tomorrow!... And in this world where even life is fragile, who dares to say a firm word and not lose everything they have?... So, just be calm!"

I thought about Mi Cai's words several times, and I felt it made sense, but I was very sad... Because I never thought that Jian Wei would live such a difficult life, but all this happened!

I sighed softly and finally replied: "We are all just a piece of fate. From this perspective, there is really no one who is humble or noble... After all, no one can escape the birth, old age, sickness, death, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness in fate!"

"Yes...that's what I mean. Only those who are so vain and stupid will turn this so-called gap into a shackle in their hearts!"

I hugged her tightly, smiled and said, "It seems that I have been successfully brainwashed by you!"

"Hmph...Isn't this what you are best at doing?"

"But you learned it well! And it really worked on me..."

"This is the transition of stars in martial arts."

There were finally jokes between us, but even so, I was still a little worried. I don’t know if I and Mi Cai who were determined to do so would completely anger Yan Zhuomei, and what countermeasures would she use to us? Through this day’s contact, I have deeply understood that she is definitely a woman who will do what she says!

I thought of my father and mother again, and a burst of sorrow appeared in my heart. I don’t know how to tell them about everything that happened in Suzhou these days after returning to Xuzhou tomorrow!

I smiled helplessly and it turned out that the troubles were always with me... The relationship between Mi Cai and I was destined to be full of twists and turns. I prayed that this disaster in front of me is the last disaster in our love. We must give this relationship a perfect result in the spring of the coming year!
