During the lunch break.
Zhou Manchun arrived at the restaurant where she had an appointment with Xu Ningsheng. It was a traditional American-style restaurant with a very quiet environment. It was a good place to have a date.
In the restaurant, Xu Ningsheng sat by the window and slightly pursed his lips. He arrived ten minutes earlier than Zhou Manchun. Xu Ningsheng was a very punctual and gentlemanly person. His watch was ten minutes ahead, which was his habit.
Xu Ningsheng's gentle side profile was against the golden light, looking warm. He was wearing a navy blue T-shirt. When he saw Zhou Manchun slowly walking towards him, there was a faint smile on his face.
"Xiaochun, over here." Xu Ningsheng waved his hand, and his bright eyes showed some excitement.
"Ah Sheng." Zhou Manchun calmly walked to Xu Ningsheng and sat down opposite him.
Xu Ningsheng was a meticulous man. He deliberately left the seat near the inside for Zhou Manchun. Generally, girls liked to sit inside when eating.
"You must be hungry. Let's order first." Xu Ningsheng looked at Zhou Manchun with his deep eyes. His eyes exuded waves of unconcealable love, like the stars in the sky, shining and pure.
When Xu Ningsheng spoke to Zhou Manchun, his tone was always so doting. He was very gentle and gentlemanly, like a warm man.
In fact, Xu Ningsheng was not such a person at school. He only had Zhou Manchun, and he deliberately kept a distance from other women.
"Ah Sheng, you order." Zhou Manchun rested her chin on her hands and looked at Xu Ningsheng innocently. Ordering food was her biggest headache.
Xu Ningsheng lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Okay."
They grew up together, and they had dinner together a few weeks ago, so Xu Ningsheng knew what Zhou Manchun liked to eat and what she didn't like.
"Why did you ask me out for dinner today?" Xu Ningsheng's tone was slightly excited because Zhou Manchun rarely took the initiative to ask him out for dinner.
"I have something to tell you." Zhou Manchun pursed her lips and estimated that it would be better to wait until after dinner. Otherwise, neither of them would be able to eat.
"Actually … even if you don't tell me, I know what it is." Xu Ningsheng's good-looking thin lips smiled faintly. He glanced out of the bright window and saw an endless stream of people and cars walking on the street. He couldn't help thinking about something.
City A was a city with a fast pace of life, especially for people living in the city center. Nowadays, people were getting married later and later, including Xu Ningsheng. His family was urging him to get married, but Xu Ningsheng was willing to wait. He was not a person who was willing to compromise.
Zhou Manchun suddenly raised her eyes, and the warm smile froze on her face. "Ah Sheng … I want you to be happy more than anyone else."
"My happiness is you … It's just that you don't want to give it to me." Xu Ningsheng turned his head and looked straight into Zhou Manchun's eyes. His eyes were hot and sincere, full of deep love.
Many people would ask the same question, which was to choose between loving and being loved. In the past, Zhou Manchun's answer was to love, but now her answer was to love each other.
If two people didn't get together because of love, no matter how compatible their personalities were, there would be conflicts one day. Later on, when it came to love, it would be such a pitiful thing.
Xu Ningsheng's words were very sad. As he said, the happiness he wanted, Zhou Manchun could not give it to him.
Zhou Manchun had already given her whole heart to Jin Beisen. Her wish was to win a person's heart.
"Ah Sheng … there are many girls in this world who are better than me, such as Jin Shuwen," Zhou Manchun's cool eyes reflected Xu Ningsheng's beautiful eyebrows, and she said with a smile.
"You also know that love can't be forced. You can refuse to accept me, but you are not qualified to control my love." Listening to Zhou Manchun's words, Xu Ningsheng seemed to be a little angry, but he still hid his delicate thoughts under his calm eyes.
You are not qualified to control my love. This sentence was like a sharp knife, cutting Zhou Manchun's heart. Zhou Manchun's eyes showed a touch of surprise. Xu Ningsheng actually said this to her. Did she really do something wrong?
In fact, Xu Ningsheng already knew why Zhou Manchun came to find him. It was because of Jin Shuwen.
In Xu Ningsheng's eyes, Jin Shuwen and he were just strangers who met by chance. There was no fate between the two of them, and he knew that Jin Shuwen was beyond his reach.
"This is just an opinion. If you don't want to listen, then forget it." Zhou Manchun paused, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked back and forth at Xu Ningsheng. She always felt that there was an additional alienation and indifference on his face that was not usually there. Perhaps her words really hurt his heart.
Xu Ningsheng was also a free and easy person. He had confessed to Zhou Manchun many times, but he never said that he couldn't live without her. He hoped that he would not bring any trouble to Zhou Manchun. Unless Zhou Manchun married Xu Ningsheng, he would never give up.
The atmosphere instantly became oppressive. Sure enough, as Zhou Manchun had guessed, some words would change once spoken, but if not spoken, they would slowly rot in the bottom of his heart …
No matter what he did, it was not the best choice.
At this moment, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Plates of delicious dishes were placed in front of Zhou Manchun. She was drooling, but Xu Ningsheng made her feel a little embarrassed. Zhou Manchun did not move her chopsticks, but just silently looked at the dishes in front of her.
Xu Ningsheng saw through her thoughts at a glance. His gentle face once again hung an elegant smile, and he said, "Xiaochun, what I said just now was just to make my attitude clear. I only like you, and at the same time, I also refuse to flirt with other women. Maybe my tone just now was not very pleasant to hear, I hope you don't think too much about it."
Zhou Manchun shook her head and said, "No."
Xu Ningsheng restrained himself and said in a gentlemanly manner, "Then let's eat first. If there's anything else, we can talk about it after dinner."
"Okay." Zhou Manchun responded faintly, and she seemed to be in a somewhat displeased mood.
Xu Ningsheng picked up the chopsticks first and picked up a piece of beef for Zhou Manchun. He smiled gently and said, "The beef here tastes good. Try it."
"Do you often come here to eat?"
"Just a few times." Xu Ningsheng's handsome face exuded a touch of gentleness. Every time he talked to Zhou Manchun, his attitude was very good, and his tone was gentle, which made Zhou Manchun like it very much.
"You are really lucky." Zhou Manchun was also a smart woman, and she flexibly adjusted the awkward atmosphere.
