37 -37 Is Love Waiting or Striving_1

Nanxi got into Liang Qiaoqiao’s car ten minutes later, and Liang Qiaoqiao said that their grandmother knew Nanxi’s defense today went relatively smoothly, so she planned a big meal for the whole family!

Nanxi has always dared not defy her grandmother’s requests, so she temporarily put her plans to have dinner with Yang Su and the others on hold.

When they almost arrived, Liang Qiaoqiao suddenly said something that left Nanxi stunned on the spot!

Liang Qiaoqiao asked, “Nanxi, do you think my dad needs a new wife?”

Nanxi paused, looking at Liang Qiaoqiao, her face full of disbelief!

However, not even ten minutes later, Nanxi realized why Liang Qiaoqiao would ask such a question…

Nanxi’s uncle, Liang Youquan, was fifty-four years old this year.

Her aunt, whom she had never met, had died when Liang Qiaoqiao was fifteen.

At that time, Liang Youquan was forty-two…

Her grandmother couldn’t bear to see her son remain single at the age of forty and had tried to persuade him to remarry, but without success!

There were two reasons: firstly, Liang Youquan did not agree, and secondly, Liang Qiaoqiao did not agree either!

Liang Qiaoqiao also told Nanxi before that when she was a teenager, some of her schoolmates’ parents divorced and remarried, but the news she heard about stepmothers and stepfathers were rarely positive…

Especially for an only child like Liang Qiaoqiao.

If her father remarried and had a son, her future fate can be clearly guessed!

Furthermore, Liang Qiaoqiao was quite possessive.

She felt that her dad belonged to her and her alone.

No one else, no matter who they were, could take her dad away from her!

Aside from her and her future husband, no one else would ever have the opportunity to call Liang Youquan “Dad”!

Regarding Liang Youquan’s disagreement, adults consider more complex things, but regardless of how complex they are, they can’t escape their deep affection for his late wife and daughter!

Now, Liang Qiaoqiao was twenty-seven, grown-up, and had experienced a lot.

After years of hard work in society, she started to understand the pain of being a single father, as well as the sacrifices he had made for her and their home.

Liang Qiaoqiao knew the old lady had always wanted her son to remarry over the years, but her father was an honest man, and Liang Qiaoqiao had always disagreed, also taking into consideration that he would not do anything out of line behind the scenes.

But for a single man, it’s inevitable that loneliness is hard to bear after some time…

So Liang Qiaoqiao softened her stance and admitted to the old lady that she regretted forbidding her father to remarry when she was a teenager and didn’t know how to look after others.

Upon hearing this, the grandmother immediately understood and replied, “It’s not too late.

It might be a bit difficult at his age of fifty-plus, but it’s not impossible to find a decent and gentle single woman!”

The grandmother was confident in her son!

At that time, Liang Qiaoqiao only smiled and did not say anything else.

Before she knew it, the grandmother had swiftly arranged a woman for him in just a few months.

The woman, in her forties, was a widow with no children and worked as an elementary school teacher, a pretty decent person!

The grandmother thought the woman was quite suitable, and that’s why she invited the woman to their home for dinner today!

By the way, she called Liang Qiaoqiao, asking her to bring Nanxi back too.

Everyone could meet this woman together.

If no objections, they could start getting to know each other and take further steps!

When they got out of the car, Liang Qiaoqiao asked Nanxi, “What do you think, is love something you wait for or something you fight for?”

What is love?

Actually, Nanxi had thought about this question seriously before!

In the world, too many people have been burdened by love, or burdened by love itself.

In the end, love no longer appears as pure as it was initially, causing many people to stop believing in love and even in its existence in the world after experiencing one round of its baptism!

In Nanxi’s heart, love could take on many different forms and could occur in all kinds of ways; it could be as grand as a flame, or as small as a mundane occurrence.

But ultimately, love should settle in an ordinary place!

What Nanxi wished for was just an ordinary love!

Love is mysterious, it is shrouded in a veil, which is why it is always so attractive, causing many people to run towards it without looking back.

Such rashness often leads to injury!

But Nanxi also asked herself, could she really be rational when it came to love?

Perhaps not…

When Li Weihuan confessed his feelings to her, Nanxi was somewhat confused.

She didn’t know what she felt.

Reject him?

She couldn’t bear to, but to not reject him?

She didn’t seem ready!

Seventeen-year-old Nanxi and twenty-year-old Li Weihuan had so little they could carry on their shoulders.

Even fewer people could carry on their burdens together for an extended period of time!

Therefore, Nanxi was somewhat afraid!

But now, five years on this journey, she moved slowly, and so did Li Weihuan.

Nanxi felt that this state was nice, she liked and enjoyed it!

She thought that perhaps, falling in love itself was characterized by calm and serenity, unfettered by winds or waves, a meditative clarity, devoid of disturbances!

Waiting or fighting for it?

Nanxi had never entertained this thought, let alone acted upon it.

Thus, she couldn’t provide a straightforward answer to those options!

Nanxi asked Liang Qiaoqiao, “Cousin, do you have someone you like?”

Liang Qiaoqiao was beautiful, one of the more successful young women among the thousands struggling in this city.

She had a high-paying job, a comfortable lifestyle, and an unaffected character.

Her seemingly carefree and bold demeanor was something Nanxi envied!

Nanxi believed that there were not a few men pursuing Liang Qiaoqiao, but in all these years, there had been no men at Liang Qiaoqiao’s side!

Liang Qiaoqiao laughed, “Of course I do!

How could there not be anyone?

But it’s a pity, that man doesn’t like me.

So here I am, single.

But watching him also being single, actually, doesn’t feel bad at all!”

Nanxi frowned: What kind of thinking was that?

Walking towards the residential area with Liang Qiaoqiao, Nanxi said, “Cousin, maybe you can try fighting for it.

Since the other party is single, then everything is possible…

Although I’m not authoritative enough to give a definite answer to the question you just asked, I think that during the process of waiting for love to arrive, we should also seize the opportunity.

Grabbing love in one fell swoop would be the best way!”

Liang Qiaoqiao raised her eyebrow as if she was seriously considering it, then replied, “That makes a lot of sense, but…”

Liang Qiaoqiao cocked her eyebrow and continued, “Life is like a chess game where every move can’t be careless; only those who strategize at every step can win the final victory.

However, love is an exception in this chess game.

Its existence is too fleeting, and it changes too unexpectedly.

It’s something that you can’t win by calculation, and long waiting may not necessarily yield you…

It requires timing, fate, mental friction, soul bonding, and many, many internal and external factors to come together, ferment, and brew, and only then can it generate what people call love!”
