My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 373 Accompanying You Through Long Years ([-])

He Tianran had met Cao Fengyao several times before, but this was the first time for Yang Chengbi.

Cao Aiqing was very similar to her mother. When the two of them came out of the kitchen just now, He Tianran was taken aback by it.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to say the nonsense of "Auntie, you look so young, you look like sisters standing with Ai Qing". The intelligence, dignity, gentleness and closeness raised are far from being comparable to the present Cao Aiqing. If there is something to praise, He Tianran is more willing to say that he hopes that Ai Qing can become like her mother in the future.

It was a state of a woman who, at first sight, was known to be wrapped and nourished by happiness for a long time.

Even if you just sit next to her, you can be infected by a gentle and virtuous temperament.

"Xiao He, don't think that Feng Yao treats you indifferently, but in fact, we all admired you a lot in the past, because when you were in high school, didn't you fight for Ai Qing with a young man named Guo Huai? Well, since then, Auntie has written down your names, and Xiao Ai often mentioned your study group at that time, saying that you are all very shy boys in the class, but you are the only one, she said that you are getting along Afterwards, I found out that you are actually a person with a very rich heart, very interesting, but sometimes you just have too many tricks and you always make her angry..."

Yang Chengbi picked up a piece of chicken and put it into He Ranran's bowl. The man smiled shyly and did not move his chopsticks, waiting for the elder to finish speaking.

"Mom~!"

Cao Aiqing, who was exposed by her mother, couldn't help but yelled.

Yang Chengbi looked at his daughter and smiled, but did not intend to stop this topic:

"Haha, from that time on, I felt that Xiao Ai cared a lot about you, and you were admitted to the University of Hong Kong at the same time, so I thought, one day in the future, you may really have some emotional development. As for Later, it was Feng Yao who went to school to give a lecture last time, and brought back the news for me after seeing you two..."

Speaking of which, when she changed the subject, He Tianran's heart beat a little faster, because next, Yang Chengbi asked straight to the point:

"Xiao He, if you didn't tell me about the love and breakup between you and Ai Qing, Auntie and Uncle might never know about it for the rest of their lives. Xiao Ai has always reported good news but not bad ones to us. It’s good for a boy to be brave, but as Xiao Ai’s mother, I still want to ask you, why did you do it in the first place?”

Before Yang Chengbi asked this sentence, she had done all the etiquette. She praised He Tianran. Even when she said these words now, she used a peaceful tone and did not say anything. Not the slightest bit aggressive.

However, one size fits all, her daughter was let down by others outside, and as a mother, she showed this kind of softness and strength, which must have a kind of resentment.

This kind of resentment towards He Tianran because of his deep love is obviously an opinion. I am afraid that only after it is resolved, He Tianran can really get the approval of his girlfriend's parents.

A trace of worry flashed across Cao Aiqing's eyes. She was silent for two seconds, after all, she still wanted to defend He Tianran, but just a second before she spoke, she heard He Tianran speak to her mother like this :
"Auntie, the situation at that time was a bit complicated, but I did do something to apologize to Ai Qing. I am here to apologize to you and Professor Cao..."

He spoke slowly and stood up, sincerely bowing to the two of them.

In fact, before deciding to meet Cao Aiqing's parents, He Tianran had already anticipated this problem. This was an unavoidable hurdle, and he had to cross it by himself.

Neither Cao Fengyao nor Yang Chengbi stopped him from bowing. They all looked at their daughter in unison. At this moment, Cao Aiqing was always watching He Tianran.

This is an obstacle set by the man himself. If he hadn't confessed this past event that never happened in this new world when he faced Cao Fengyao, then now he came to meet Cao Fengyao as a "boyfriend" Cao Aiqing's parents would not be so cramped.

But if it wasn't so frank, Cao Aiqing probably wouldn't accept him again.

It may be unfair to say it, or it just happened to be a matter of timing. Wen Liang once reprimanded He Tianran for evading, but in the end he always found many reasons that he had to face, such as——

Responsibility and loyalty.

When He Tianran put aside all these things to embrace Wen Liang, what the man got in return was a breakup with Cao Aiqing, and a love that was destined to be like smoke.

But if you look at He Tianran from Cao Aiqing's point of view, you will find a conclusion that is completely contrary to Wen Liang's, that is...

He Tianran never avoided anything.

Including the two being together because of love, and breaking up because of warmth and coldness, and even the punishment He Tianran should bear in the end...

Whether these are right or wrong, as for Cao Aiqing, He Tianran never escaped.

That's why, when Cao Aiqing started planning to take revenge on He Tianran, she seemed so powerless.

He Tianran sat down again, and everyone at the table was waiting for what he would say next. He began to examine the past that happened to him that no longer existed, and said in a deep voice:

"At that time, I met a girl who changed my destiny, her appearance was like my appearance when Ai Qing was bullied.

In my feelings for her, of course there is love, but in this love, there are many, many...things other than love. Going to the ideal university, for me at that time, these things were a big deal, something I couldn't refuse.

So I... because of this, I broke up with Ai Qing and got together with that girl. "

He Ranran's voice gradually became hoarse, and his eyes gradually blurred:

"But I know... I knew from the very beginning that I couldn't be with that girl forever. Our relationship is more like... a process of making up for regrets, and if I don't go through this period, my heart There will always be a knot, and at the same time, I also know that it is very unfair to Ai Qing who has something hidden in her heart but cannot be honest with her lover. Keeping her in the dark will only make her feel more uncomfortable.

Uncle and aunt, your daughter is a very proud girl. She is flawless, and she can't pretend to be confused. She took you as an example and strengthened the purity of love. This is what I knew before I confessed to her for the first time. So I won't try to justify our breakup, but there is one sentence that I must explain to you under the witness of your two elders..."

After Yang Chengbi and Cao Fengyao listened to this speech in a daze, the woman couldn't help asking:
"Son, what do you want to say?"

He Tianran raised his eyes, and bumped into Cao Aiqing's soft eyes that had been watching him.

For a second or two, a reminiscing smile appeared on his face:
"I haven't lied to your daughter, whether it's about emotional choices or in front of big right and wrong, I haven't lied to her."

At dusk, He Tianran sat by the lead washing pool and thought about many past events with Cao Aiqing.

Among them, there is a scene that is still fresh in his memory.

That was Cao Aiqing lying on the wooden wine table, a tear streaming down her fair cheek.

Before that, she had just finished reading the novel "Picking All the Cold Branches and Refusing to Dwell", which described the wonderful stories that happened between him and her in another parallel time and space.

But at that time, she who was already riddled with holes said:

"So, no matter which world I am in, I will be bullied, right?"

"I didn't think we would be so happy together..."

……

Those questions from the depths of the soul will make He Tianran give him a heavy and long blow after betraying the most beautiful Cao Aiqing.

Once upon a time, the young self and the young self existed in the same body. When faced with the question of how to deal with Cao Aiqing after the military training, the young self was outspoken and even forced the young self to confess everything to his girlfriend.

So, He Tianran really did that.

And, he does it all the time.

And it just so happened that what the two girls Cao Aiqing and Wen Liang wanted was completely opposite.

One, which begins with a mischievous act and ends with a sweet dream woven of lies.

Another one, I want to be sober all my life, but after getting sober, will the result in exchange be better?
The outcome of the latter is still unknown, but what is certain is that what He Tianran has done all the time, at least in exchange for Cao Aiqing not to worry about whether to trust him or not.

He certainly didn't lie to her.

Cao Aiqing looked at her parents and said with a soft smile:
"Dad, Mom, what Naturally said is true. His frankness all the time is the key to us getting together again. You don't need to believe him, but you can trust me, right? Your daughter is not so easy to lie."

Cao Fengyao and Yang Chengbi looked at each other, the middle-aged man put down the chopsticks in his hand, smiled wryly, and looked at He Tianran:

"It's actually hard for me to believe that at your age, what unforgettable things can happen to Xiao He. In a peaceful and prosperous era and your already wealthy family, after listening to your speech just now, I always feel that you It is too much to make a fuss over a molehill, even hypocritical.

However, although I hold this perception, I don't object to the point of view that 'it was a big deal for you at that time' as you said, because in my opinion, the naivety of human nature is better than the naivety of human nature. Complexity has to come close.

It's actually not surprising that you kid can say these words today. I remember that you and Ai Qing were very open and honest when they came to see me last time. Originally, I wanted to talk to you afterwards, but after thinking about it, you guys Since they all broke up peacefully, then I, as a father, is in contact with you. Ai Qing will inevitably feel embarrassed when he finds out. You are all adults and should have your own space.

However, the current situation is that you are reunited again, and you even visited us at home, so as parents, we also have something to tell you frankly..."

This elegant middle-aged father sat upright like a mountain, with an extremely serious expression, and he said word by word:

"Xiaohe, if you only chose Ai Qing because you couldn't get along with the girl who changed your destiny, then I'm sorry, let's finish this meal in a friendly manner, and I can only ask you to leave. And I ask you not to pester my daughter any longer, Ai Qing is not your shelter, it is not a big deal for young people to make mistakes, but they must know how to pay for their choices, this is the same attitude as her mother."

These words were so familiar that He Tianran fell into a brief silence.

"You fell in love with me because you couldn't love the person you love the most, right?"

"..."

Now, this question was put in front of He Tianran again in a different form, so, is the original answer the same?
It seems that a lot of changes have indeed taken place.

But today He Ranran sat by the lead washing pool and thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out what changed.

He hasn't thought about this kind of problem for a long time, because in these years, he has never put himself in the most important position...

Since he knew he was in hell, he never thought about himself, so it was impossible to talk about who he loved the most.

In a sense, He Tianran had no chance to choose, and the decision to break up with Cao Aiqing back then was not necessarily made with Wen Liang.

His decision at the beginning was to give up everything until he knew the truth about this unknown age hell.

Fate never gave him the chance to weigh the two girls on the same balance.

He just took out everything from his body regardless of himself, in exchange for a process that would allow them to be freed from here.

Is this good, or is it bad?

unimportant.

For He Tianran, delicate and charming flowers should not bloom in the dark hell, they should grow in a more splendid place.

This is his realization.

"..."

"Dad, Mom, I've already asked him to make a choice, so you don't have to force him any more. Our love is not something he can decide alone. I know you are doing it for my own good, but you ask him so much. , why don't you come and ask me?"

Just when He Tianran was about to answer, Cao Aiqing suddenly smiled and said, this time, she didn't let He Tianran take the lead. The girl's voice was clear, and everyone's eyes immediately shifted to her.

Who would have thought that Cao Aiqing, who asked a similar question back then, would take the initiative to stand up and speak for He Tianran at this time?

She could have taken this opportunity to get a perfect answer, and then let He Tianran completely cut off from the past, and start a new life for the two of them.

But she didn't, and just as she said, the love produced by the gathering of two people has never been something that can be decided by one person.

She looked at He Tianran, with deep pity and admiration shining in her eyes, she was no longer the girl who needed He Tianran to help her shelter from the wind and rain.

"Dad, Mom, I know everything about his past with that girl, but now he will never see that girl anywhere except in his dreams. This is a very sad thing, and I don't want to see him again Faced with this kind of thinking...

For more than a year, he has also used his actions to prove his heart for me. I can feel it, and I believe in him, so... I can't be so selfish as to deprive him of his right to dream. Said it was too pitiful.

We are all free...

But I love him, and I've only ever loved him, so...enough is enough?

Dad, let him have a good meal. He has been working very hard recently, and he is going to see you today, so his spirit has been tense. Dad, you have always kept a straight face. I know you are afraid I'm at a disadvantage, so let's just see how nature will behave in the future, our falling in love is not something that happens overnight, we can see people's hearts for a long time, mom, what do you think? "

Farewell can be distinguished from idiots, and reunion can be seen with sincerity.

In these words, He Tianran opened his mouth slightly, his jaw trembled slightly, his eyes were in a daze until his vision began to blur, and then...

He smiled forcefully.

Redemption in hell should not be rewarded...

However, love is different, and Ai Qing is even more different.

"Hey—Dad, you're quite right, he's ugly with big teeth."
