Chapter 28: Chapter 28 : There Are Also Many Outstanding Young Man Around Me. Let Me Introduce You To Them
In the end, it was Chu Tian who recommended a Chinese restaurant.
They all found an empty table to sit down. Chu Tian was more familiar with this place, so she ordered dishes according to everyone's taste. Suddenly, she remembered something: "By the way, Sister Chuwei, you also know Nian Nian?"
Yan Chuwei nodded, and smiled sadly: "Nian Nian...she almost become my little sister-in-law."
Chu Zhaoyang paused while drinking tea, and glanced at Gu Nian coolly.
Chu Tian took a breath in surprise: "Sister Chuwei, isn't your brother—"
"Yeah, he's been dead for more than a year." Yan Chuwei's eyes were filled with tears, she sniffed, then looked at Gu Nian again, "Nian Nian, you haven't found a boyfriend yet?"
Gu Nian did not expect that Yan Chuwei would suddenly throw a question, so she could only answer: "Not yet."
With tears in her eyes, Yan Chuwei reached out to hold Gu Nian's hand: "I know you like Yan Lui very much, but he is dead, so you have to move on. Besides his family, Yan Lui cares most about you, so he certainly didn't want to see you refusing to accept others for him."
"I did not." Gu Nian said helplessly.
Why did everyone think she was single for the sake of Yan Lui?
Yan Lui was her senior. When she was in the police academy, she did not deny that she liked him, and Yan Lui was also very kind to her. Although the two of them never made it clear, Yan Lui's attitude towards her made her realized that he had feelings for her. Later, Yan Lui graduated and entered the police force. She still remembered that it was Qi Xi Festival① last year, and Yan Lui asked her to meet.
She was very happy and nervous at the time. She had a faint premonition in her heart that Yan Lui wanted to confess his love to her. Unexpectedly, just the day before the Qi Xi Festival, Yan Lui died. It was said that he died of a stray bullet while performing a mission.
There was only one day left, and the two of them would officially become lovers on the second day. According to Yan Lui's colleagues, Yan Lui has prepared a lot for Qi Xi Festival, and even said personally that he will confess his love to the girl he liked.
And that girl was her.
That day will never come to her.
There was a time when she seemed to be living in the days before the Qi Xi Festival of that year, before the death of Yan Lui, and she was unwilling to accept that there was no Yan Lui in this world. That high-spirited, gentle warmth young man in the sun.
After a long time, she had move on. Because she knew she had a life to live. Yan Lui was dead and wouldn't come back, and she still has a mother who they depends on each other, so she couldn't let her worry.
She had never been in love, and there was indeed Yan Lui's existence in her heart, just like no one can forget her first love, no matter whether he was still there or not. But she won't refuse to accept others for him who was no longer in this world. It's just that she had never met anyone who made her heart moved.
Yan Chuwei didn't believe her denial, and said with red eyes, "Nian Nian, you can't be so stupid. After Yan Lui's death, you have been living in miserable and refused to accept the facts. But you can't let this matter affect you for the rest of your life."
"Sister Chuwei, that's really not the case." Gu Nian peeked at Chu Zhaoyang who was sitting opposite.
She didn't know why, but she really cared about his opinion.
"Silly girl, you don't need to be brave in front of me. Yan Lui must also wanted to take care of you. How about this? There are many outstanding young man around me, who are about the same age as you. Find a time and I'll introduce them to you. You have to consider and take care of yourself." Yan Chuwei kept talking as if she ignored Gu Nian's words. It made Gu Nian felt uncomfortable.
"Bang!" Chu Zhaoyang suddenly put down the teacup heavily on the table, causing the other three people to look over in surprise.
