Actually, at the riverside that night, Cheng Ye intended to reject Jiang Manyi.

Because he wants to chase the rock and roll dream he has always had, and has no other mentality to think about love.

But Cheng Ye cherishes the girl's affection for him, and she has not missed every performance in the past six months.

Such a love made Cheng Ye very grateful.

Therefore, he will not treat Jiang Manyi as casually as he treats other girls who confess, and is ready to have a good chat with her, indicating that it is not her problem, but that he is focusing on his career.

Hope she doesn't waste her time on him and miss out on other better boys.

However, Jiang Manyi didn't even give him a chance to refuse.

The "I'm sorry" she said while crying hit Cheng Ye's heart at once.

Although Cheng Ye looked rough and careless on the surface, as if he didn't care about anything, his mind was very delicate.

How humble is it to apologize for this sincere love when facing the person you like.

After that night, Jiang Manyi did not appear at his concert again.

Even later, Cheng Ye became more and more famous and more and more audiences, from a few dozen people in the past, to dozens or even hundreds of people later...

The familiar shadow was never seen again.

Instead, Cheng Ye felt that his heart was empty.

Maybe she will never come again.

This state lasted for half a year, and Cheng Ye was looking forward to and waiting for something in almost every performance... and then disappointed.

This kind of emotion troubled him very much.

Finally, he tried to find her, and through Bu Tanyan's information, he came to the bar where Jiang Manyi was singing, and sat in the most difficult to find corner, listening to her singing in a venue.

He no longer misses any of Jiang Manyi's performances, just like when she went after his concerts.

The girl on the stage, wearing slim jeans and a simple white shirt, with short shoulder-length hair, has a very distinctive smoky voice, and sings with flavor.

Cheng Ye has always felt that from a person's singing, one can see life.

From that day on, Cheng Ye began to listen to her life, her sorrows and joys, and all her little emotions hidden in her singing.

He started getting to know the girl again.

At that time, there was no convenient way of communication and communication, the distance between people was very long, and time seemed to pass very slowly.

Cheng Ye listened to her songs for half a year, and finally, on Christmas at the end of the year, he confessed to her.

It snowed heavily that night, Jiang Manyi hung up her mother's call to send her sister's tuition fees, and walked alone on the snowy street.

Watching couples going out and going in pairs on the street, watching parents holding their children's hands, talking and laughing...

In this world, it seems that she is the only one who is alone, with no relatives or lovers, working alone in this strange city.

At the moment when she heard jingle bells' cheerful melody coming from the square, Jiang Manyi finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and tears rolled out of her eyes.

As if the flood had burst its banks in an instant, she began to sob, and finally burst into tears.

Life is really...hard.

So lonely.

......

To this day, Jiang Manyi does not know whether Cheng Ye's confession that night came at the right time or not.

She swallowed without anyone, crossed the road, came to the riverside, and looked at the sparkling river.

On the other side of the river is the economic development zone of Beicheng, with high-rise buildings and bright neon lights.

This is the city where she struggles, where she dreams...

She humbly looked up at the prosperity on the other side.

It was at this time that the beautiful melody of "The Lover" came from behind, as well as the familiar voice of the teenager——

"I hope you don't cry secretly again for me."

"I don't want to leave your heart empty."

......

"You know who is willing to go back."

"Who is between you and me?"

......

Jiang Manyi turned around and saw the bright smile in the corner of the boy's eyes.

She was stunned...forgot to cry.

It was her love and love buried deep in her heart.

"It's a man, a wall, or a cold winter. It's hidden in the eyes. There are days and nights, there are fantasies, and I can't wait."

The crowd gradually gathered, and the dark and firm gaze of the young man passed through the crowd and locked onto his beloved.

Then, he stopped the guitar in his hand and shouted to her—

"do not Cry."

Jiang Manyi wiped away her tears and stubbornly said to him, "You take care of me."

"I take care of you, and I will take care of you in the future."

Jiang Manyi stared at him in a daze, but she still didn't understand what he meant.

Beside him, Cheng Ye's buddy stared at him, reminding him, "I have misremembered the confession line! It should be i love you forever."

However, Cheng Ye is not a man who follows the script, he completely "breaks out" and plays freely——

"Jiang Manyi, I want to be with you, let's sing together, make music together... I have no money now, but I will definitely not let you go hungry. If you have ten yuan, I will spend nine yuan for you; For a thousand dollars, I'll buy you a gold ring..."

"I like you, from this moment until the end of my life. I will not like other girls. If I can't marry you, I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

"Can you give me a chance and let me take care of you?"

After he said these words, the whole square was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the tearful girl in the distance.

From then on, Jiang Manyi knew that her life would be settled.

......

From their initial crush to their relationship at Christmas that night, they had gone through nearly a year and a half.

That Christmas, the two of them burned to ashes in a cramped rental house.

Jiang Manyi never felt that she was such an open girl, and even she was actually very conservative in her bones.

But after meeting Cheng Ye, the suppressed life was ignited in an instant, and he went crazy all night.

The appearance of that young man amazed her whole youth, so many years later, she still couldn't listen to his songs, watch his performances, or even couldn't bear to hear his news...

Can't let go, I'm afraid I can't let go in this life.

......

On the plane the next day, Jiang Yu was wearing headphones, and Cheng Ye's music was looping in the headphones.

She was still absorbed in the distant story her mother told her last night.

Qiu Li sat beside her, and the two of them were listening to the same song with headphones on.

Qiu Li asked casually, "I never heard that you like this singer before."

"Before, I really didn't particularly like it."

"Then why do you suddenly want to go to his concert?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him and explained seriously: "Because he is my father."

Qiu Li peeled an orange in his hand and said casually, "I'm your father."

"..."

"I'm not kidding! He's really my dad."

Qiu Li finally lifted his eyelids and squinted at her: "I'm not kidding, you'll have to call sooner or later."

"..."

"If you talk nonsense again, I'm really going to be angry."

Qiu Li smiled and handed the peeled orange to her mouth and rubbed it. When she was about to bite, he threw it into his mouth again.

Jiang Yu was about to be mad at him.

He chewed the orange and said, "You say that Xie Yuan is your father, it is more credible than this star is your father."

"But I didn't lie to you. My mother told me that."

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Jiang Yu briefly told Qiu Li the story her mother told her last night.

Of course, Jiang Manyi withheld Cheng Ye's name.

"So this time, I went to see Cheng Ye's concert without my mother's knowledge. If he is really my father, I want to recognize him, I want to bring him back to my mother, and our family will be reunited."

Qiu Li frowned and looked at her with complicated eyes. After a long time, he murmured, "Fuck."

Jiang Yu patted his forehead punishingly: "Swear again."

"I'm not ready yet."

"Ready for what?"

"See our dad."

Jiang Yu: "..."

Can you stop treating yourself like an outsider?

To be honest, Jiang Yu himself was not ready.

If it's just an ordinary mission, she only needs to tell the current client a message, just like Xie Yuan's mission at the beginning.

But the point... this is not an ordinary task at all, the client is her biological father!

The plane fell into the stratosphere, stopped the turbulence, and began to fly smoothly.

Qiu Li carried Jiang Yu's small backpack in front of him, and took a nap while wearing a blindfold.

Jiang Yu turned sideways, "feeled" out his phone from his small backpack, opened a few photos of Cheng Ye in the album, and looked at it carefully...

"Boyfriend, are you asleep?"

"Um."

"You can help me see if I'm not asleep. Do you think I look like him? If I tell him that I'm his daughter, is it reliable?"

Qiu Li took off the blindfold, took Jiang Yu's cell phone, glanced at the handsome man posing in the photo, then glanced at Jiang Yu, carefully compared, and came to the conclusion—

"Not at all."

Jiang Yu frowned and looked at the photo: "I think it's still a bit similar. Look at my nose, just like him, it's very pretty."

Qiu Li supported her oval face and observed it carefully.

Jiang Yu originally thought he was going to say something, but he didn't expect him to smile lightly and kiss him directly.

"What are you doing!"

"It's too good, I can't help it."

"..."

Jiang Yu pushed him away and said, "Tell you about business!"

Qiu Li "licked" his lower lip, and said, "His double eyelid, your single eyelid, doesn't have any similar 'sex' at all."

"Can..."

"Speaking of which, your mother also has double eyelids." Qiu Li stroked Jiang Yu's left eye with his rough fingers: "You shouldn't have been adopted by your mother, right?"

"How is that possible! I'm definitely my mother's biological child!"

"That's weird."

Jiang Yu picked up the phone, looked at Cheng Ye's photo, and said, "I don't think my dad's double eyelids are natural."

"Um?"

"Definitely done."

"..."
