Episode 20: Doubt Xiao Yu’s identity
On that early summer afternoon, the sun filled the entire courtyard, and Song Zhu and Xiao Yu parted on bad terms again.The relationship between them seems to be covered by a thin gauze curtain, visible but intangible, full of helplessness and confusion.
When he got home, Song Zhu sat in front of his mother thoughtfully, with a trace of uneasiness and doubt in his eyes.Her mother gently stroked her hand and told her in a low voice that Xiao Yu had shelved the engagement for her.The news was like a bolt of lightning, instantly piercing the haze in her heart.She looked at her mother in shock, her eyes filled with regret.
She thought of every dispute she had with Xiao Yu, every confusion and misunderstanding, which turned out to be due to her own narrow-mindedness and prejudice.She once stubbornly believed that Xiao Yu was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve his goals, but she never expected that he would make such a sacrifice for her.
However, the regret in his heart did not let Song Zhu let go easily.She knew that she had hurt Xiao Yu, and the deep guilt and self-blame were like a thorn in her heart.She began to silently search for reasons in her heart, just to make herself feel better - it was all because Xiao Yu lied to her that this misunderstanding occurred.
At the same time, Song Zhu's parents looked at her silently.They know the pain and struggle in their daughter's heart, but they know better that what they need most at this time is understanding and support.So, they gently said to Song Zhu: “Son, we know you feel uncomfortable, but you have to understand that Xiao Yu put aside the engagement for you not to deceive you, but because he sincerely considers you.”
Song Zhu's eyes were filled with tears when he heard his parents' words.She looked into her parents' eyes full of understanding and care, and the guilt and self-blame in her heart instantly turned into a warm current.She knew that no matter what she did, her parents would stand by her side and give her the strongest support.
