Chapter 6, Soft intestines and a hundred knots

Qianchen raised her head, and Xiaoyang, dressed in a black coat, stood on the other side of the bridge, smiling at her with an elegant demeanor. In that moment, Qianchen's heart was filled with joy, and the anxiety and insecurity she had felt while waiting were cast aside. She felt as if Xiaoyang had been waiting for her for a lifetime. She smiled and ran over: "Ah Yang, you came so quickly!"

Baby, we will go eat tomorrow

Well, I will take you back right away. Don't worry, we will arrive within half an hour. Xiaoyu, Qianchen and I will leave first! Make sure to rest well!" Xiao Yang said gently

Mother! Qianchen feels a bit wronged. She turned her head to glance at Xiaoyang, who was looking at her with a smile. Qianchen sighed inwardly, her feet began to move towards her mother, and she quickly took two steps to embrace her mother.

Qian Chen could not help but call Xiao Yang: "Ah Yang..."

Apart from this, her parents are usually very open-minded and treat her well, having raised her with great care since childhood. Qian Chenwan never expected that her relationship with Xiao Yang would provoke such a strong reaction from them

Xiao Yang also remained silent, not hanging up the phone, as if no matter how long Qian Chen wanted to talk or how long she wished to remain silent, he would always be there with her

Xiao Yang felt Qian Chen's body tremble slightly. He held her hand tightly for a moment before letting go, politely greeting Qian Chen's mother: "Hello, Auntie, I am bringing Qian Chen back."

She still remembers the moment from the previous week when she cautiously informed her parents about her boyfriend. Her mother, after inquiring about the situation, resolutely rejected it and returned to her room without even having dinner. Qianchen lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time, feeling extremely troubled.

She is a rare obedient girl who seldom leaves her home. Following Xiao Yang, she suddenly discovers that the world is filled with so much excitement. Xiao Yang's carefree personality and his way of interacting with friends have opened Qian Chen's eyes. Xiao Yang comes from an ordinary family; it is said that children from poor families mature early. He began to think independently and face challenges at a young age, adeptly managing various interpersonal relationships. His social skills surpass those of Qian Chen, who comes from a well-off family but has little contact with society.

Her mother trembled with anger: "You are still young, you are not like me, someone who has been through it all. I will never stand by and watch you jump into the fire pit! I am telling you clearly, I do not agree!"

Qianchen closed her eyes, unable to help but recall the bits and pieces of her relationship with Xiaoyang

Xiao Yang caught a glimpse of Qian Chen's face, which had turned red from the cold. He took her hand and placed it inside his coat, then embraced Qian Chen. This was the first time Xiao Yang had hugged Qian Chen on the street

Good

Shall we have a meal together tomorrow

Qian Chen gently hung up the phone and fell asleep contentedly. Tomorrow, Scarlett said: "Tomorrow is another day"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Qianchen's mouth: "Am I done for?"

The most difficult and painful situation is when two people are in love, yet they are suddenly confronted by an external force that they cannot resist. This external force is precisely the power of her parents, who love her the most, a force that Tao Qianchen has never defied in her twenty-four years of life and has never even thought of opposing.

"Why is it inappropriate? Isn't it just that his family background is average now that he is starting a business? Today is really a class reunion, and he is also from University C. How could he have deceived you?" Qian Chen felt somewhat annoyed and defended himself in a low voice.

Ayang! Qianchen leaned his head against Xiaoyang's shoulder and waved his hand towards Yaoyu, saying, "Aren't you going upstairs quickly?"

Disagreement is still disagreement. You are still young; how could you possibly know what is truly needed in a marriage? Why can't you just make things easier for me...

Yao Yu glanced at Xiao Yang, who stood quietly beside Qian Chen, his smile unchanged, focused intently on Qian Chen, his eyes filled with tenderness. She sighed softly and reached for the phone, and Qian Chen's mother's gentle voice came through: "Yao Yu, don't stay out too late; let Qian Chen come home early... It's always unwise for girls to wander the streets at night, right, Xiao Yang?"

"Auntie, look at where your thoughts have wandered. Today, it is just the three of us gathering, no one else. This call has just ended, and Qianchen will be home shortly, so don't worry! When have I ever lied to you?" Yao Yu coaxed and deceived to finish the call, and after that, Qianchen's mother nagged her for a while before hanging up.

Qianchen's hand reached into his coat, her face pressed against Xiaoyang's passionately beating chest. She cherished Xiaoyang's bold and warm embrace. When Qianchen lifted her head, she saw the faint smile at the corner of Xiaoyang's mouth and the deep affection in his eyes. In that moment, all thoughts of being discovered by her family vanished; in her eyes, in her heart, in her entire world, there was only Xiaoyang. In the evening, people came and went on the bridge, and the flow of traffic on the street faded into another environment with the arrival of dusk. Embraced, Qianchen and Xiaoyang were immersed in their own world; she would never forget that day's embrace, that day's Xiaoyang, and that day's feelings.

Qian Chen's house is an old-style building of type C, a two-story independent Soviet-style villa. After taking a shower, she tiptoed upstairs. The old house has poor sound insulation, and she vaguely heard her father persuading her mother: "The child has grown up, it's been two years since graduation, regarding matters of the heart..."

It was destined to be a restless night. Xiao Yang accompanied Qian Chen back to C University, and as they approached the professors' residential area, he saw Qian Chen's mother standing at the entrance of the community with a pale face.

What do you think we should eat? The grilled river delicacies at that riverside place you took me to last time were very delicious

Hmm, Ah Yang...

Qian Chen and Xiao Yang claimed that there was another program that prevented Hui An and Zhang Lin Shan from sending them off. The three of them watched as two cars drove away. At that moment, Qian Chen's phone rang. "Mom, it's only 10 o'clock!" Qian Chen quickly glanced at Xiao Yang and Yao Yu, "I, I am with Xiao Yu. I ran into a college classmate today, yes, Chen Hui An, you know, the one who works at the Municipal Economic Committee, we just got in touch... Hmm, really! If you don't believe me, I can let Xiao Yu answer the phone."

No way! I don't care if she runs around all day as a reporter, but this marriage is a serious matter, and I cannot let her do as she pleases, unless I am dead... Back then, my mother advised me, but I didn't listen, and as a result, I endured countless scorn to achieve my current status... Just look at Professor Wang's daughter across the building...

Xiao Yang silently watched her and her mother walk into the community. Staring at the tranquil and beautiful residential area, a wave of humiliation surged within him

It has been six years since she has been with Xiao Yang, and they still maintain that beautiful and joyful feeling from before. She cannot think of any worries. Qian Chen believed that Xiao Yang would gradually achieve success, that she would diligently report news at her workplace, and later live and work like any ordinary family, gathering with friends during her leisure time. However, her mother's resolute attitude has made her lose all sense of certainty about the future.

I am here, baby. "Xiao Yang's calm tone instantly quelled Qian Chen's anxious emotions

After a long time, Qianchen felt that her mood had calmed down and she was feeling sleepy, so she softly said to Xiaoyang: "Ayang, I am going to sleep now"

When she was in college, her parents hoped that she would not have a boyfriend and would focus on preparing for graduate school. She kept this from them all along. After graduating from college, both Xiaoyang and she were busy adapting to their new environment, and it took them another two years to inform their families.

Qianchen is a person with a very sensitive heart, and she blushes easily when interacting with others. She has changed a lot since being with Xiaoyang. Especially when she first started working as a reporter, she was not very accustomed to interviewing strangers. Whenever Xiaoyang had time, he would accompany her to interviews and help her search for information online. After six years, Qianchen has become accustomed to relying on Xiaoyang and the care he provides her. Suddenly, she felt a pang in her heart. Are she and Xiaoyang really like conjoined twins as Yaoyu said, where separation would cause pain and a botched surgery could lead to death?

Is it enough to have a match in social status? I feel very happy and joyful being with Ayang, and I think he is great!" Qianchen's voice also rose.

Ayang, I will come to find you after work tomorrow

Hmm?

Mom! Ayang is very capable, and he treats me very well!" Qianchen softened her voice to plead with her mother

Xiao Yang and Qian Chen are two extremes. Qian Chen is conventional and reserved, while Xiao Yang is lively and sunny. After they started dating, Qian Chen learned how to 'play.' Xiao Yang taught her to dance, took her out for drinks and singing, introduced her to various snacks, and involved her in club activities. Xiao Yang spoke animatedly, with a warm smile on her face. Qian Chen felt that every day spent with Xiao Yang brought a subtle joy.

Qianchen's parents opposed him, and he knew the reasons for their opposition. Qianchen is unique in this regard; she has never looked down upon his family or his job. Her eyes are always filled with trust when she looks at him. Her pure kindness has given him the courage and confidence to strive for entrepreneurship. Qianchen does not have an urgent desire for her husband to achieve great success; she never puts pressure on him, yet he feels more pressure because of her.

Xiao Yang's greatest characteristics are his composure and optimism. His boldness and calmness provide Qian Chen with an exceptional sense of security. Sometimes, she feels that as long as Xiao Yang is present, even if the sky were to fall, it would not be a significant issue.

Well

A layer of mist suddenly floated in Qianchen's eyes. Unlike his mother, who came from a scholarly family, his father did not have such a background. At that time, among her sisters, his mother was considered to have married the least favorably. When he was young, accompanying his parents to his grandmother's house, the grandmother's attitude towards his father was also the coldest. It was not until his father gradually gained recognition in the academic world and the family's living conditions improved that this situation changed. His mother, however, remained strong-willed; every time his grandmother was mentioned, his father would fall silent.

His mother, however, remained strong-willed; every time his grandmother was mentioned, his father would fall silent.

Well

"Hmm, good, sleep well." Xiao Yang's voice was soft and warm

Are you still arguing with me? What does entrepreneurship mean? Is it really that easy to start a business now? He is just a worker in a computer city! This is an ill-matched situation; the two of you come from different environments and have different lifestyles, and sooner or later, you will argue. I am your mother; how could I not want what is best for you?

From a young age, her mother had high expectations for her, accompanying her during holidays to learn piano and calligraphy, and closely monitoring her studies. Qianchen has always been a good child and a good student, sailing smoothly through her education and gaining admission to C University, a nationally renowned institution. After graduation, she became a journalist at News Online, where the salary is not very high, but she enjoys a good social status

She waited at the bridge for a while, feeling somewhat anxious. This place was very close to the school, and Qianchen was afraid of encountering someone she knew from school. She kept glancing towards the bridge. The sky gradually darkened, and the wind blew coldly. Qianchen stomped her feet, continuously breathing on her hands to warm them. Suddenly, she heard Xiao Yang's voice, calling her name in a clear and cheerful tone.

I am hanging up

Upon returning home, Qianchen's mother erupted: "Qianchen, how many times have I told you that Xiao Yang is not suitable! Why are you still with him? You even lied to me, saying it was a class reunion? Yao Yu also lied!"

"Yes, yes, let's take our time to be affectionate!" Yao Yu laughed as he walked home.

Qian Chen felt a myriad of emotions in her heart; she did not know what to say, yet she was reluctant to hang up the phone. She simply pressed the phone to her ear, listening to the steady sound of Xiao Yang's breathing on the line.

A girl like Qianchen will regret missing him for a lifetime. Having seen and heard so many high standards that girls have when looking for boyfriends, Qianchen's heart appears even more precious. However, he also understands Qianchen; she loves him and also loves her parents. A kind of pain, a powerless pain, appeared on Xiao Yang's handsome face

Qianchen opened her mouth, waves of sadness transforming into waves of bitterness in her heart. She finally stopped arguing and said softly, "Mom, please don't be angry anymore." The sudden display of vulnerability from her usually strong mother made Qianchen feel a deep sense of compassion. She gently said, "I will go to sleep now"

Time is of utmost importance to him; he needs time to strive for success in the world, not for himself, but for Qianchen's parents! In order to ensure that Qianchen can marry him without difficulty, he must race against time. A layer of excitement colored Xiaoyang's eyes as he slowly clenched his fists. After a long while, he turned and left.

One winter, Qian Chen arranged to meet Xiao Yang at the bridge near C University. She did not dare to let her family know, and her dates with Xiao Yang were never on campus. While walking on the street, she was also cautious, looking around nervously for fear of being seen by acquaintances

Qianchen's mother was clearly suppressing her anger and did not even glance at Xiao Yang: "Qianchen, go home!"

Qian Chen cautiously glanced at Xiao Yang and said, "Ayang, my mother asked me to be home within half an hour"
