I have to say that Su Yi, a grown man, can also be very meticulous at times.

The tricycle is very stable to sit on.

The afternoon sun shines brightly, and the warmth on your face makes you feel comfortable.

The two men walked out of the gate of the Zhong family's old house, one in front and one behind, turned right and headed towards the Su family's old house.

While passing a section of the road, Su Yi talked about some interesting things about growing up here.

Including the three little followers behind him.

"Who would have thought that these three people would become more successful than the others and now they are all well-known figures in the business world."

Su Yi said these words without a hint of his own intention. He had never intended to do business since he was a child, and even if he had not been sent abroad for some important reasons in these years, he would not have chosen the business route.

"I think all three of them listen to you." Xu Yun said casually, remembering that Song Yang and Jong Suk Hee wanted to compete in drinking at the table, but Su Yi told them not to drink too much. They both have children to help take care of, and childcare should not be regarded as the mother's responsibility. Fathers should share the burden with their wives.

At that time, as soon as Su Yi said this, not to mention Song Yang and Zhong Shuoxi, even Shang Jianghan stopped drinking.

Su Yi laughed: "Since we were little, we were always the ones who got into trouble. We either fell off a tree or scratched someone's car. We did a lot of bad things, and I was the one who cleaned up the mess in the end...."

Su Yi said some harmless things, but unexpectedly, it made Xu Yun laugh so hard that he was shaking with laughter.

The tricycle was driving towards the light. Su Yi heard a clear laugh. He turned his head slightly and saw the fair face wrapped in the sunlight, as bright as a flower.

Soon, they arrived at the Su family’s old house.

Compared to the Zhong family's old house, the Su family's old house has been in disrepair for a long time, and you can see a sense of dilapidation when you walk in.

"I wanted to repair it after I came back, but the higher-ups have already looked for it several times. It's a place that will be handed in sooner or later, so there's no point in repairing it. On the contrary, this will help preserve the memories of the past."

Su Yi's expression inevitably showed a sense of dejection.

Xu Yun got out of the car and stood beside him. The two walked in without saying a word until they entered a courtyard that was obviously carefully tidied. They sat on the stone bench in the yard.

"One day, my sister asked me if I had any regrets. Maybe I was too selfish when I chose to carry out that mission. As a result, I was trapped in the North for many years. My parents worked hard for me and died early. My sister also suffered a lot. She went from a scholarly lady to a lonely and helpless person for many years.

Whenever I think of this, how can I not regret it? But it's too late to say these things. Looking back on this journey, many things can never be recovered once they are lost. Instead of regretting all day long, I might as well live a good life in the future so that my parents can feel at ease over there. "

Xu Yun was quite moved. Although she didn't know what Su Yi was referring to, since he could sacrifice his entire family for it, it must be a great move. Now that it was over, there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

He may feel most guilty towards his family in his life, but he does not feel guilty towards this society!
People always learn to make choices at some stage, and always have to give up something that is hard for them to give up. As long as they have a clear conscience, they can feel at peace!

Subconsciously, Xu Yun placed his hand on the man's calloused hand, which was then held by his backhand.

The action that was originally intended to comfort the other person immediately took on an ambiguous atmosphere.

Xu Yun realized that his action was inappropriate and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't pull it out.

There was a hint of smile in Su Yimo's eyes, and his thumb gently rubbed the base of Xu Yun's white hand.

A tingling sensation quickly spread from the fingertips to the whole body.

Xu Yun felt as if a layer of paper between them was pierced in an instant.

She raised her eyes and looked at the man opposite her, and their eyes met almost at the same time.

Su Yi curled his lips, as if he was determined to catch his prey. You fell into the trap yourself, don't blame anyone!

After staring at each other silently for a long time, Su Yi spoke.

"I am thirty-seven years and five months old. I have no romantic history. I am currently working at the Municipal Bureau and am considered a deputy bureau-level cadre. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be able to reach a very high position in this industry before I am fifty.

I have no experience in relationships. It’s not that there are no opposite sex around me, but I’m not attracted to them and feel that they are not the type of people I like.

Also, this old house will be taken away in the future, and I will exchange it for a small villa, as well as some money. When I get married in the future, I don’t want my partner to worry about material life. I don’t want to become rich, but I can ensure that I have enough food and clothing.

I don’t drink too much, I smoke occasionally but I can quit, and I don’t have any other bad habits.”

With every word Su Yi said, Xu Yun's cheeks became hotter.

She naturally didn't think that the person in front of her was talking to her about insignificant personal preferences. She bit her lip to suppress the sound of her heartbeat.

"Xu Yun, you are a different person to me. I went to record your statement the day after you were hospitalized for your leg injury. I felt that you were different the first time I saw you. You have the fragility of a little girl. You will cry because of the pain of your wound, and you will also fight against evil forces to defend your rights without giving in."

Xu Yun was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly, and he no longer cared about the shyness in his heart.

It turned out that this person had noticed her since then.

Xu Yun pursed her lips and said nothing, with an incredible look in her black eyes. If she said that she had no feelings for the man in front of her, she would be deceiving herself, but she did not notice him until the first time they met.

My palms felt cold unconsciously, and my heart was trembling slightly.

Su Yi finally got to the point.

"Xu Yun, am I qualified to be your boyfriend? I can't influence you except for age. Can I change anything you don't like?"

The man lowered his eyes to look over, and his breath, so close to her, seemed predatory.

He analyzed everything about himself in front of her just for this one sentence. Even when he asked if he could be her boyfriend, he subconsciously lowered himself, which moved Xu Yun.

What a glamorous and favored child of heaven, yet he is willing to plead in front of myself who is so ordinary that cannot be more ordinary.

When she raised her eyes again, Xu Yun's dark eyes were filled with moisture. She tried to speak but no sound came out. Under the man's more urgent gaze, Xu Yun was willing to follow her heart and nodded to him.

When they came, they were just ordinary friends, but when they left the back street of Sijiu Square, their relationship had undergone a qualitative change.

The jeep off-road vehicle moved forward at a constant speed under the shadow of the neon lights, and the headlights swept a beam of light wherever it went, straight and bright.

The two did not stay outside for too long. At five o'clock in the afternoon, when it was still light, Xu Yun returned home.

Xu's father went to the park for a walk, while Xu's mother was preparing dinner. Seeing Xu Yun coming back, she poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Let's make braised fish tonight? Fry some of your favorite dishes, and stir-fry some soaked yuba with green peppers, and make some boiled meatball soup. Go check on Officer Su and see if he's home, and ask him to come down for dinner."

Xu Yun had just taken off his coat and heard his mother's natural tone when she invited people to dinner. He thought they were family members.

Xu Yun said "oh" and was about to go into the bedroom to change clothes. Xu's mother told her not to change yet and to go upstairs and ask Su Yi to come back to change.

Xu Yun thought that it had only been five minutes since they separated, and now the person seemed reluctant to leave, so he said that he could call or send a message.
