you are my lifelong love

Chapter 3 Five years ago

In [-]X[-], Xia, City S.

Several low buildings side by side, the mottled and peeling walls and rusted drainage pipes outside the building are enough to prove its age.Ling Chuxia entered the building, and there were several old bicycles piled up there indiscriminately.She took out the key and opened the door in the middle of the first floor. The anti-theft door was rusted and its original color could not be seen, and the wooden door inside was also mottled.

This house is very small and dilapidated, only Ling Chuxia and her mother live here.

"Xiaxia is back, let's eat." Her mother had a gentle smile on her face, "Is the admission report over?"

"Well, it's all done." Ling Chuxia responded with a smile. She lost the admission report for S University today, and school will start in two days.

"That's good." Her mother nodded.

Looking at her mother's vicissitudes of the back, she sighed, her mother is only in her 40s but she looks like she is in her 50s.She doesn't know who her father is, she only knows that she and her mother have lived together since she can remember.Life is also difficult because there is no father.And every time she goes to school, she always faces those strange eyes, but she never asks her mother about her father, because she knows that it will only make her mother miserable.

So she tried her best to do a lot of things, hoping to make her mother easier.

So what if there is no father, her mother loves her, and she loves her mother, that's enough.

After eating, the mother and daughter went back to their rooms to rest.

And she didn't see the desperate look her mother looked at her.

In fact, Ling Chuxia's mother was diagnosed with cancer, and she would not live for half a year, but Ling Chuxia didn't know this.

The next day, Ling Chuxia woke up very early. After getting up, she cleaned the room first, and then made breakfast, because she still had to do tutoring work today.

"Mom, I've prepared breakfast and put it on the table." It was almost eight o'clock when Ling Chuxia was about to go out, and then saw her mother coming out of the room at this time.

"Okay, I got it, cough cough." Shen Yun nodded and coughed twice and then tried to suppress it, "Be careful on the road."

Ling Chuxia looked at Shen Yun worriedly, she seemed to hear her mother coughing yesterday.

"Mom, you've been coughing all the time recently, go to the hospital quickly." Ling Chuxia said, "How about I go with you?"

My mother shook her head and refused when she heard her words.

"Mom can go by herself, you don't have to." Her mother said.

Ling Chuxia had no choice but to tell Shen Yun to go, don't be careless.

"Okay, Mom, I see, my daughter is getting more and more talkative!" Shen Yun pretended to be unhappy.

"No way!" Ling Chuxia pouted, "I care about Mom!"

Mom smiled and clapped her hands.

The place where Ling Chuxia works as a tutor is in a villa area in this city. One of the families has a girl who is just in the second grade of junior high school, and she is responsible for teaching that daughter about science.

"Sister Ling, you teach really well!" The girl sitting opposite Ling Chuxia was wearing a blue plaid skirt and a sky blue bowknot headband, with a sweet smile.

Although she doesn't know what the other party's family does, but just by looking at the villa, she can tell that it is a very rich family, but An Qing doesn't have the temperament of a big lady at all, and she is quiet when learning things from her She is very well-behaved, so she thinks this job is really good, except that the address is a bit far away.

"Chu Xia, take a rest for a while, don't get tired." An Lei said softly, "Now Qingqing has made great progress in her homework, so don't be in such a hurry."

"It's okay, I'm not tired." Ling Chuxia smiled politely, then shook her head.

She knew that An Lei might be interested in her because the other party's attitude was too ambiguous, but she didn't want to think about these things at all now. She still had a lot to do, so she could only pretend that she didn't know, so as to avoid embarrassment.And An Lei didn't say it clearly, so it's best that she was overwhelmed.

An Lei was a little disappointed to see Ling Chuxia's calm expression.The first time he saw Ling Chuxia was in high school. She wore simple clothes but had a gentle temperament. She didn't think of teenage girls at all. She was very attractive, and she was not impetuous at all. Every girl he ever had was different, so he gradually fell in love with her.An Lei felt that it had been such a long time, it was impossible for Ling Chuxia not to know that he liked her, he had already shown it clearly, so there was only one possibility, that is, the other party didn't like him, so there was no response.Thinking of this reason, An Lei felt a little bored.

At noon, Ling Chuxia was going home.

"Then I'll take you out." An Lei picked up the car keys.

"...Then I will trouble you." After hesitating for a while, Ling Chuxia still nodded.

She can't refuse this point, and An's house is located in a villa area on the hillside, which is a long way from the place where you can get a car. If it takes more than half an hour to walk, An's driver is usually responsible when she comes over. Pick her up.

Standing at the door, looking at the light blue sports car in front of you, the streamlined body is very beautiful and dazzling.

As soon as the car stopped, she opened the door of the back seat. If she was sitting in the co-pilot, she would feel very embarrassed.Seeing Ling Chuxia's actions, An Lei in the driver's seat flashed a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

An Lei didn't speak along the way, and Ling Chuxia kept looking out the window, because she really didn't like this kind of atmosphere, especially in a closed space, which made her feel very insecure.

An Lei also parked at the place designated by Ling Chuxia. In fact, he wanted to send the other party home directly, but Ling Chuxia refused.But An Lei didn't leave immediately, but got out of the car and walked in front of Ling Chuxia.

"...Is there anything else?" She looked at An Lei and asked.

Then saw An Lei nodded.

In fact, An Lei wanted to make things clear, because Ling Chuxia was about to go to college, and he might meet all kinds of boys. He didn't want the girl he liked to be with other people, so——

"Chu Xia, I like you very much." An Lei said, the expression on his face was very serious, which showed that he was really serious about confessing, "I hope you can be my girlfriend, do you want to?"

Ling Chuxia was stunned when she heard it.

She didn't expect An Lei to confess his love to her so suddenly, and she couldn't react for a while.

"...I'm sorry." After a long silence, she shook her head.

"Why?" An Lei said anxiously, "Do you have someone you like?"

She shook her head, of course she didn't have a boyfriend.

"Then why can't you accept me?" An Lei looked anxious.

"I don't want to think about that right now," she whispered, then paused, "and we're not a good fit."

An's family is really different from hers. Not to mention that she doesn't have any feelings for An Lei, it's just that the two people's family backgrounds are not compatible.

She knows her family background before, so she won't be overwhelmed.She is self-aware.

There was an eerie silence between the two of them.

"...I will wait for you. You can think about it carefully. I will always treat you well and love you forever." An Lei's eyes were full of charming affection, and after thinking about it, he added, "You don't need to Because there are burdens or concerns about this matter, I am also a person who distinguishes between public and private. The job of tutoring will not change, and you also know that Qingqing likes you very much."

She didn't speak, she also liked this job and An Qing, but now...she felt that she couldn't face this matter calmly.

Ling Chuxia watched An Lei's car go back, and was a little dazed for a while looking at the dust raised.

It took a long time before he let out a deep sigh.
