December 25, 2013, "Christmas" in the Western world.

However, this day was very difficult for me. Until now, I am still very grateful to Liu Jia, because it was her who finally brought Zhang Lan out of that dark world with the help of the past few days.

Not only that, Liu Jia also worked hard to create an opportunity for Zhang Lan and me to get along, that is, today, December 25th, a current oriental person is scrambling to use it as a festival.

In fact, I never regard "Christmas" as a festival. For me, even traditional Chinese festivals sometimes don't care about it. It was my hope to have a sumptuous meal when I was poor and destitute, not to mention that this Western festival has nothing to do with me, even if it is very popular all over the world.

So, this time, Liu Jia arranged for me to meet Zhang Lan on "Christmas", and I always felt "embarrassing"; coupled with the complex feelings that were about to meet Zhang Lan, I felt very anxious.

Just as I was sitting in the "Lin Mei Tea Bar", two shadows that I was extremely familiar with appeared at the door. The taller one was the charming Liu Jia. Today she dressed very ordinary, which changed her previous high standards for clothing. However, even so, Liu Jiayi's entry still attracted almost everyone's attention, because the grace and elegance were not covered up because of the ordinary clothes. On the contrary, it gave people a stronger visual effect.

The fresh and beautiful girl next to her is Zhang Lan. Although she was just a glance, I realized that Zhang Lan was thin and she was very thin. In just a few days, Zhang Lan was so thin, which made me feel very sad, and she was full of pity for Zhang Lan. But to be honest, Zhang Lan in this state showed a pathological beauty, and I am afraid that "sick Xi Shi" is the most appropriate description of her.

I quickly stood up and welcomed the two of them to the semi-encircled teahouse where I was. During this period, Zhang Lan only glanced at me with the corner of her eyes, then lowered her head slightly again without saying anything. However, that glance was enough. I could feel Zhang Lan's infinite grievances and sorrows from it, which was definitely heartbreaking.

However, I felt a little relieved. Although Zhang Lan's current state is still quite troublesome, it is much better than the more difficult situations I can imagine.

Therefore, my eyes were full of gratitude when I looked at Liu Jia, and at the same time conveyed a strong love; and what Liu Jia sent back was a faint smile and a gaze of understanding, which made me relax a little more. But I was thinking in my heart that Liu Jia had done too much for me, especially now in Zhang Lan's affairs. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know how to deal with it.

The three of them sat down. Liu Jia and Zhang Lan sat tightly together, and even the former's left hand and the latter's right hand were held together, as if the two had formed an offensive and defensive alliance. Of course, this is not a casual talk, because after the two women sat down, their expressions were almost the same, and they stared at me tightly with a pair of sad and loving eyes.

I sat on the sofa opposite the two women, thinking carefully about how to speak. In fact, before the two women arrived, I had already imagined various situations and had also imagined several opening speeches, but when I was really facing the complex eyes of the two women, I found that there was no sound in the open mouth.

According to Zhang Lan and Liu Jia later, I was like a duck that was strangled. I just smiled at this point, because if it weren't for this, I didn't know how to speak at all now.

My silent pantomime is very effective, first of all, Liu Jia, and then Zhang Lan. Both of them were amused by my strange actions. The so-called "Smile, everything will stop", I felt relieved, and I felt a little bit like a disaster: "You finally laughed. Hey, you don't know how nervous I was just now, for fear that once I opened my mouth, I would be bombarded by you."

After a moment of pause, I looked at the two women who kept their smiles, but still showed a listening look. I continued: "I know I did something wrong in terms of feelings. Although I know it's too late to save it now, what I also know is that I love you, I love you two, I love you Liu Jia and Zhang Lan. There is no doubt about this!"

"Of course, I also know that in modern society, if you want to have your absurdity at the same time, even if I have this idea in my mind, it is precisely because of its unreality that it cannot be realized at all."

"So, Liu Jia proposed a condition, that is, I will choose one of you as a partner within two years. Zhang Lan, I think Liu Jia has already mentioned this to you, right?"

Zhang Lan was listening, and seeing me suddenly ask her, she nodded slightly, indicating that she was already aware of the situation.

"Two years are actually a buffering process for us, allowing us to better understand our feelings for each other, and at the same time, it also allows me to understand each other more.

"Liu Jia, although you have known me for ten years and have not had much contact with me, I have generally understood my personality, but that is only on the surface. Do you still remember the time when we fought monsters in the game and someone robbed monsters? (Liu Jia nodded a little confusedly)

"To me, that was just a virtual character. I never showed mercy and let the other party go as far as I wanted to grab the results. But in fact, Liu Jia, you were trying to stop me from doing this. Why?

"Liu Jia, you are a girl who grew up in a good environment. Although you have seen a lot of intrigues in the shopping mall, you are extremely kind. The higher education you receive tells you the sin of "killing". This is the difference between my philosophy.

"Now, it may be because the two people have few contacts and nothing is left. Maybe they have different or even completely opposite views on various things in the future. At that time, we may find that the two people who love each other cannot have a happy marriage after they are together."

I left Liu Jia who was thinking alone, then turned to Zhang Lan who was thinking about something, and said, "The same is true between you and me. We don't talk about the matter that almost hurts you and connects us together, we only talk about our future relationship.

"I know that part of your love for me comes from our close relationship, and even part of my payment for your mother. Perhaps, in your subconscious, I have already regarded me as the only partner of marriage.

"If we remove the intimate relationship between us, do you think about whether we may have developed love for each other so quickly? I don't think so. I don't, because I was pursuing Liu Jia at that time and had officially developed into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship; you don't know, as a very traditional girl, you won't agree to be a man's girlfriend so easily!"

"But that thing has indeed happened between us!" Zhang Lan couldn't help but argue.

"Yes! It is because of that thing that happened between us that our relationship became a little abnormal, and for various reasons, it developed to fall in love with each other in less than a year. In fact, the emotional foundation between us is weaker than between me and Liu Jia, so there is a greater possibility that we will have conflicts in the future!"

When I heard me say this, Zhang Lan's face turned pale, which made people feel heartbroken. Just when I wanted to relieve Zhang Lan, Liu Jia, on the other hand, came hard on my head: "Stinky ink, what do you mean by saying this? Do you say that you are fond of another woman, so you want us to automatically withdraw? I heard that you have a very good relationship with Mr. Chen Tianqiao, the richest man in China's "Shanda" Group; in addition, I heard that Mr. Chen has a very beautiful daughter, who is currently eighteen years old. You won't want to kick us away with one kick because you climbed a high branch, right?"

"Ah--" I looked at Liu Jia with a sad face in shock, and I didn't understand why she had such excellent association ability to think about this aspect.

"How is it? I can't speak, right? No wonder I'm going to guess these words today. It turns out that I have such thoughts." Liu Jia's tone of speaking was even more sad, but when I heard it, I got goose bumps all over my body.

I looked at Zhang Lan carefully and said in my heart that "no" because the look of Zhang Lan's eyes at me clearly had a "so that's it".

"Oh, I said Liu Jia, you don't have to slander me like this, right? As far as I know, although Mr. Chen Tianqiao's daughter is very beautiful, it seems to be half of the number you said in terms of age, right? Also, I am worth over 100 million now and I don't have to covet Mr. Chen's property at all. Besides, if you want to be beautiful, which girl can compare to you two. So, even if it's really as Liu Jia said, I won't like each other. Please rest assured about this!"

In fact, you mainly focus on Zhang Lan. Zhang Lan seems very shabby in terms of social status and wealth in her family. Although these are like clouds to me and do not become any research, these two aspects are still very important for most Chinese people who pay great attention to the concept of "equality". I don't want Zhang Lan to have any inferiority complex because of this.

"Hmph, since this is not the reason, why do you say those words? Don't you want us to withdraw from the competition?" This sentence makes some sense, and Zhang Lan once again bets a pair of beautiful eyes on my face to see what kind of answer I have.

"Oh, how can I say that? I just analyze the problems between us so as not to feel unhappy due to these reasons in the future. And we really need to re-understand each other seriously and not affect our true intentions because of external factors."

"Tsk, it seems like a philosopher. Zhang Lan, don't listen to his nonsense. Love means love. How can there be so many things? If he really follows his statement, then there will be no love in this society. Or, Moshui, do you deny the existence of love at all?"

Well, I didn't dare to answer this, just talked with silence. Next, everything was carried out under the leadership of Liu Jia. First, the three of us who left the tea bar went to the newly built "Little Disneyland" in the city to play.

Since it is called "Little Disneyland", of course it cannot be compared with the regular "Disneyland". In my opinion, even the name "Disneyland" itself wants to go far. Because in addition to a small number of "Disney" features, this amusement park is more of a game program with traditional Chinese characteristics and various facilities layouts.

In my opinion, the owner of this amusement park is just promoting the title of "Disney". Looking at the inappropriate arrangements inside, I am a little funny. Because I am familiar with the game, and many of the games are based on traditional Chinese culture and myths and legends, I can consider it rich in knowledge about this.

So after the three of them walked around, I found a lot of problems. For example, in the "Jingzhong Garden", Qin Hui's kneeling statue was set up in front of Yue Fei's statue and Yue Fei's mother's cemetery. Of course, there was no problem with the former. It was not about whether Zhao Gou's intention and full support in the incident of Qin Hui's framed Yue Fei, nor about Yue Fei's kindness that he showed when he was finally killed in Hangzhou even though he knew the danger, or just stupid loyalty, it was unreasonable to just be the kneeling statue of Qin Hui in front of Yue Fei's mother's cemetery.

In fact, Yue Fei's mother had already passed away a few years before Yue Fei was killed, so it was said that there was no relationship between Qin Hui and his mother-in-law. It was a bit inappropriate to place Qin Hui's kneeling statue in front of his mother-in-law's tomb.

This is still a small problem. After all, people have different opinions. In the eyes of everyone, Qin Hui is a big deal, and it is understandable that the mother of the national hero who was killed by him is nothing wrong.

However, in the "Imperial Pavilion", it would be too wrong to place Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng completely as a "tyrant". Although Qin Shihuang's rule was extremely cruel, his great achievements such as unified China and unified Chinese and unified writing, weights and measures will not be covered up.

The amusement park puts it in the "Tyrant" column, which is fine. The modified text on the base of Qin Shihuang's statue actually uses the elegant Chu Wen, not Qin Shuan, which makes me unable to see it.

Next, I kept finding all kinds of mistakes or inappropriate things in "Little Disneyland", which made my already a little depressed mood even more intense. However, compared to my silence, Liu Jia and Zhang Lan were interested in these things, especially the artificial lake in "Little Disneyland", and asked to go up and sit.

I depressedly handed the three old heads to the middle-aged man who was guarding the cruise ship and smiling very brightly, thinking that the price was really a bit expensive. The most hateful thing is that the other party actually charges a fee according to the number of people, which means that everyone has to occupy a fee of 100 yuan.

If it weren't for seeing Zhang Lan and Liu Jia liked it very much, I would probably have really shook my head and left. But now, not only did I pay this in vain, but I also need to paddle and row myself. Of course, I could also pay a hundred yuan and the amusement park arranged the boatman. But I don't want to pay this in vain again, even if mine doesn't care about this little money at all. What's more, I don't want outsiders to disturb our "three-person world".

Following Liu Jia's orders, I kept paddling around the artificial lake, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, and sometimes even just turned a corner, Liu Jia immediately asked me to turn back again.

Even a fool knows that Liu Jia is playing tricks on me. But I can't say anything to complain, because the fact is that I did something wrong. Liu Jia not only did not blame me in this regard, but instead helped me comfort Zhang Lan and created a good environment for everyone. I saw this kind of thing, and the gratitude in my heart was so strong that it could not be melted.

Liu Jia is just taking advantage of rowing to vent her temper. Compared to the bad situation I had imagined before, it was so much better. However, Zhang Lan couldn't stand my miserable appearance (I pretended it on purpose, but my body was not so weak), and she secretly pulled Liu Jia's corner of her clothes several times.

Four hours later, the three of us finally ended the day's activity. Although I was very tired by long rowing and other things, I was still very pleased to see the smiles on Liu Jia and Zhang Lan's faces. My efforts finally made some gains. My biggest wish now is to make Liu Jia and Zhang Lan happy, and everything else is not under my consideration.

Liu Jia drove back by herself. Before leaving, she gave me a deep wet kiss very generously, then pushed me towards Zhang Lan, and blinked playfully and said, "There is the rest of the time, and you will handle it as you want. Now we are competing fairly, so don't give up because of being embarrassed."

In my "embarrassment" and Zhang Lan's shyness, the car left with Liu Jia's ringtone laughter, and finally left two men and women looking at each other.

"Zhang Lan, I--" I was about to speak, but Zhang Lan blocked it with her hands.

"No, listen to me now, okay?" Zhang Lan's eyes were filled with something called fragility.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." I grabbed Zhang Lan's tender gums tightly and said gently.

Zhang Lan made a little effort, but she couldn't take out her hands from my hands. In the end, she let me control her hands a little as if she was willing to accept her fate. She looked at the lights in the distance and said, "A year ago, I never thought that I would have such a day to compete with another woman who is better than me in every aspect!"

The weakness and pain in Zhang Lan's tone made my heart beat violently, and my hands couldn't help but tighten, and she said nervously: "Zhang Lan, you--"

When I heard this, my face started to have a fever. In fact, I was drunk at that time. If I were usually not so bold and brave. Although I would still fight in the end, I would never use that stupid method. At least I would never let the other party know who was against them.

"Next, this brave man brought me to his home and was tempted by me while drunk." Zhang Lan smiled noisily and continued: "Later, things developed in the best direction. This man not only paid a huge medical expense for my mother, but also directly borne the family's living expenses. Not only that, he also provided me with a job opportunity, so that my monthly income has reached more than 20,000 yuan, something I didn't dare to think about before."

"If this is the case, I should have been very satisfied. But I am not. I took advantage of the man's guilt towards me and turned him into my close lover step by step."

"Zhang Lan, stop talking." I wrapped Zhang Lan's entire land into my arms and said heartbrokenly: "I don't treat you with you just because of my pity before, it was just the basis for the first time I contacted you. Now I love your tenderness, your kindness, and everything about you. Just as I said before, although there may be many problems between us, the love for you and Liu Jia is real. Please remember this carefully."

"I know." Zhang Lan chose a more comfortable position in my arms and said, "I just said those words, just to tell you that it is an accident and a luxury to have your love. So, even if you and Liu Jia are combined in the future, I have no complaints, because this has exceeded what I originally hoped. If you have the will, just come and see me and my mother when you have time in the future."

"Ah, Zhang Lan, why do you say that? We have two years left, and no one knows the final result. Don't say such stupid words! Or, what did Liu Jia say to you?" It's not impossible for me to think so. Although Liu Jia will not say anything to let Zhang Lan give up, just by saying her own identity and social status, Zhang Lan can feel the gap between the two. In this way, Zhang Lan will inevitably automatically withdraw from the competition because of the gap between the two.

"How could it be?" Zhang Lan chuckled and said, "Ms. Liu is not the kind of person you imagined. Although she did not specifically talk about her identity, after my own judgment and later inquiry, she learned her identity. To be honest, Liu Jia is indeed a woman who is outstanding in all aspects."

"But, as you said, this is fair competition. Although I know that Miss Liu's status and talent are your best choice; however, I also believe that I am also a good candidate for a wife. Maybe I can't be a strong woman in the mall, but I am more than enough to be a good wife and mother. So, I will compete with Miss Liu, and I believe I will not lose to her!"

Looking at Zhang Lan's completely different mental outlook than before, a sentence popped up in my mind: Women, you should never try to understand.
Chapter completed!
