Qin Lie nodded. Zhou Yi was hard to comment on in other aspects, but getting along with San San was like a duck in water. He was very good at pleasing children.
Qin Lie: "Does he know you are with me?"
Zheng Pianqing: "Yes, I said it."
Qin Lie was still surprised when he heard this answer. He didn't expect Zhou Yi to accept "reality" so calmly.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Lie said, "He seems to have changed a bit."
Zheng Pianqing: "Maybe."
Qin Lie: "Do you feel his change?"
Zheng Pianqian lowered her eyes and remembered what happened two days ago. After pondering for a moment, she chose to tell Qin Lie.
Zheng Pianqing fully explained the "quarrel" that day and the subsequent change in Zhou Yi's attitude towards her.
Qin Lie listened carefully and said, "You can't accept your 'reflection', right?"
Zheng Pianqing nodded: "I feel very holy. Even though I did nothing wrong, I always instinctively wonder if I have gone too far."
In fact, compared to what Zhou Yi had done before, her words that day were really harmless.
Moreover, Zhou Yi had an intimate date with Rongyue on the premise of falling in love with her. She and Zhou Yi now have no relationship at all.
In fact, there was no need for her to reflect at all.
"This is your advantage." Qin Lie analyzed the matter for her from a different angle, "Because you can always put yourself in the other person's shoes and take care of other people's feelings. Not everyone has this ability."
"You are very kind and don't want to hurt anyone, but this is impossible." Qin Lie picked up the crowbar and said, "Let's go, let's do it again, hold on tight to me."
Zheng Pianqian grabbed Qin Lie's clothes. While skating, Qin Lie's words just now kept echoing in her mind.
She had never thought about it from this perspective before.
After Qin Lie said this, Zheng Pianying's thinking broadened a lot, and the internal friction over this matter ended.
The skating lasted for more than an hour. After it ended, the two strolled around a nearby alley.
There are many specialty shops here. Zheng Pianqing has visited them once before, but she doesn't feel they lack freshness at all.
At noon, Zheng Pianying and Qin Lie chose a nearby specialty restaurant for lunch.
The two chose a relatively quiet booth. As they sat down to order and chat, Qin Lie received a call from home.
It was his mother calling.
After Zheng Pianqian heard him call "Mom", she subconsciously thought of what she had heard while camping.
Her intuition told her that Qin Lie's mother was calling to urge him to get married and have children - and Qin Lie's next words also confirmed Zheng Pianqing's idea.
"I understand, just make arrangements."
"I'm sensible. Okay, I'm having dinner with my friends, so I won't talk anymore."
Qin Lie didn't chat with his mother for too long, but his attitude was relatively patient. He was a person with a good temper. Zheng Pianqian had known him for so many years, and she had never seen him angry before.
"My mother's phone number." After Qin Lie hung up the phone, he took the initiative to chat with Zheng Pian Ting, "I'm here to send birthday wishes and arrange a wedding."
Zheng Pianqing nodded, "I guessed it."
It was rare for her to take the initiative to inquire about other people's privacy: "Have you never been looking for it?"
Qin Lie: "We had a blind date, and the other party didn't accept being in a different place, and his personality wasn't suitable."
Zheng Pianqian said "Oh". She knew too little about the marriage market and didn't know what to say.
Qin Lie glanced at his phone and said, "But this time my parents have arranged another one. We will meet during the Spring Festival next month."
Zheng Pianqing: "Your parents have checked it, so it shouldn't be wrong."
Qin Lie: "I can't say for sure. This kind of thing depends on fate. It's hard to come by."
He looked at Zheng Pianqian who was hesitant to speak, and asked with a smile: "You won't start to feel psychological burden now, will you?"
Zheng Pianqing: "..."
Qin Lie: "After I have a girlfriend and a family, I will not contact you again."
After Zheng Pianqian heard this, her mood was a little complicated, but she still nodded. She believed that Qin Lie could do such a thing.
She is now very happy that she did not have another impulsive incident with Qin Lie that night.
This should be her last birthday with Qin Lie.
"Have you ordered a cake?" Zheng Pianqing suddenly remembered this matter.
Qin Lie shook his head, "Do you want to give me a cake?"
Zheng Pianqian had this intention.
——
The afternoon trip was originally random. Because Zheng Pianxing had an idea, the two went to a baking DIY shop.
Zheng Pianqing and Qin Lie completed a relatively simple black forest cake under the guidance of the baker.
Zheng Pianqing also wrote a greeting card for Qin Lie.
It was almost five o'clock when the two came out after making the cake. Since they had not decided which restaurant to go to for dinner, Zheng Pian Ting and Qin Lie returned to the hotel where Qin Lie stayed after some discussion.
It was getting dark. After Zheng Pianqian returned to the hotel room, she found a lighter and lit a candle.
"Happy birthday." She looked at Qin Lie's face illuminated by candlelight and said these four words with a smile.
It is a blessing and a farewell.
However, the mood this time was slightly different from the last time I said goodbye.
Qin Lie made a wish on the candle. After blowing out the candle, he stood up and walked to Zheng Pianqing, hugging her gently.
"Thank you, Pianqing. I had a very happy birthday."
There was an unspoken understanding between the two of them.
Qin Lie had the same idea as Zheng Pianqing, and he clearly understood the meaning behind her words "Happy Birthday".
Seeing you off thousands of miles away, we must say goodbye in the end.
Fortunately, she was good enough when they were separated.
During this meeting, Qin Lie could feel the obvious changes in Zheng Pianqing - although there would still be emotional internal friction, there was no longer the broken sense of dissociation before.
Qin Lie never mentioned it, but he knew the reason in his heart - it was Sansan who made her love the world again.
And Sansan is her and Zhou Yi’s child.
Regardless of whether the father and daughter will eventually recognize each other, this is an indisputable fact.
Regardless of whether Zheng Pianqian loves him or not, Zhou Yi will always be involved in their mother and daughter's world.
——
When Zheng Pianqing came out of the hotel, it was only seven o'clock, much earlier than expected.
She took a taxi and returned to the Prime Minister's Villa in less than fifteen minutes.
The lights in the villa were on, and Zheng Pianying guessed that Zhou Yi and Sansan should be having dinner at this time.
Zheng Pianqing got out of the car after paying, put her hands in her pockets, lowered her head, and walked slowly into the yard.
A few minutes later, Zheng Pian Ting walked to the living room door, entered the password and opened the door.
Only the lights were on in the living room, and there were dolls on the carpet.
As she thought, Zhou Yi and San San should be in the restaurant now.
Zheng Pianqing took off her coat, changed into shoes, and walked towards the restaurant.
After getting closer, Zheng Pianqian heard the sound of Sansan and Zhou Yi talking inside.
Zhou Yi: "The shredded pork with Jingjiang sauce is out of the pot, baby."
Sansan: "Wow, it looks delicious. Dad, you are really awesome~"
Zheng Pianqing's steps suddenly stopped.
