There are not so many people in this world who love me and I love you too. If you meet one, you must learn to cherish it.

Lin Leyao has a cousin named Lin Leyan. The two families haven't interacted much in recent years, and Lin Leyan likes to travel around the world, so the two have very few opportunities to meet.
However, this cousin was still very good to her. She would always give her very special gifts during festivals and would never forget to bring her souvenirs when she went abroad.
If she still had any attachment to the word "family" in the past, half of the reason was because of this cousin.
But... my cousin has been at odds with Jian Yan since they were young. Nine they end up parting on bad terms. The reason is simply that similar people are not suitable to be friends.
Because both of them are narcissistic and poisonous.
"Lin Leyao, are you kidding me? You told me that you have a boyfriend, and this boyfriend is Jian Yan?" After returning to China, Lin Leyan thought that there were many handsome young men in college, so she went to the university to give Lin Leyao a gift. However less than three minutes of meeting each other, her beloved cousin told her that she was in love, and the object of her love was Jian Yan, who had always been at odds with her.
"Sister, please keep your voice down." Lin Leyao pulled her and hushed her.
"I'm not calm. You said that Jian Yan is a bad guy except for his face. What do you like about him? If you only like his face, I promise to find you ten boys who are better looking than him." Lin Leyan still didn't want to see her only pure little sister fall into the fire pit.
The Lin family is small. There were only two brothers in Lin Leyao's father's generation, and there was only one daughter in Lin Leyao's generation.
"Sister, I'm not with him just because he's handsome," Lin Leyao explained.
"If it's not because he's good-looking, is it because he has a lot of bad intentions? Oh my God, what tricks did this damn Jian Yan use to make you so devoted to him?" Thinking of her cute little sister making friends with Jian Yan, Lin Leyan felt so regretful. Why didn't she think of instilling in her sister the theory that men who can laugh are scary?
"Sister..." If she told her sister that Jian Yan just said he liked her and she agreed, would her sister strangle her to death?
At this time, Lin Leyao's phone rang. When she saw it was Jian Yan, she didn't dare to answer it.
"Jian Yan?" Lin Leyan raised her eyebrows.
Lin Leyao didn't dare to speak.
"I'll talk to him." Lin Leyan took the phone and answered it. Before the person on the other end could speak, she started talking, "Jian Yan, you little devil, you actually took advantage of me going abroad to kidnap my cousin. I'm at the coffee shop in front of your school. Come over quickly and let me teach you a lesson."
Not long after, Jian Yan arrived. He wanted to sit next to Lin Leyao at first, but Lin Leyan dragged a bench for him to sit in the aisle. He was not angry, and sat down directly calm expression.
Lin Leyao felt that the current atmosphere was very strange, and could even sense that the two were fighting with their minds.
"When did Sister Le Yan return to China?" Jian Yan asked first.
"The day before yesterday." Lin Leyan played with her bright red fingertips and replied with a smile, "I learned about something incredible as soon as I returned to China."
"Sister Le Yan, are you talking about the matter between Yaoyao and me?" Jian Yan asked.
"That's right." Lin Leyan was a little overwhelmed when she saw him smiling. Although they didn't meet often, she quite hated Jian Yan's smiling look.
Jian Yan: "I like Yaoyao, and Yaoyao likes me too. We are in love with each other, so we are together. It is my fault for not informing Sister Le Yan, but you are wandering abroad for 250 days a year, and I really can't do anything about it."
"Jian Yan, do you really like Yaoyao?" Lin Leyan still seemed to not quite believe Jian Yan's sincerity. She always felt that this person was too cunning and unreliable.
"I remember Sister Le Yan once said, there are not so many people in this world who love me and I love you too. When you meet one, you must learn to cherish it. Yaoyao is someone I want to cherish." Jian Yan was still polite and called her Sister Le Yan all the time.
Hearing him say this, Lin Leyan's eyes almost popped out: "Jian Yan, to be honest, I don't believe you."
Jian Yan: "I will convince my cousin with my actions."
Lin Leyan: "But I didn't see it."
"Yaoyao, how much do you weigh now?" Jian Yan suddenly turned around and asked Lin Leyao.
Unsure, she replied, "99."
Jian Yan: "Sister Le Yan, you saw it, you always said that Yaoyao was too worried and didn't gain weight easily, but after we got together, she has gained 8 kilograms."
Can this also be a reason?
Although she didn't want to admit it, Lin Leyao had gained a lot of weight after falling in love with Jian Yan, and her waistline had increased by two centimeters! She was in pain, why did Jian Yan bring up such a sad thing?
Lin Leyan was stunned. Although the evidence was far-fetched, she really couldn't find any reason to refute it. She was the one who said it back then, and Jian Yan was using her words to cut off her retreat.
"Yaoyao, Sister Le Yan has come to see us, how can we let her just drink a cup of coffee? Why don't we have a meal together, I'll treat you." Jian Yan stood up and made a gesture of invitation, "Sister Le Yan, let's go, I've reserved a table."
This boy actually made a reservation on the way here? Lin Leyan felt that she had underestimated him.
Looking at the two relatives who were incompatible with each other, Lin Leyao sighed: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain."
Jian Yan got a car from somewhere and took the two sisters to a five-star hotel in the city center. Lin Leyan felt relieved to see that he was so sensible.
"Mr. Jian, please." After entering, the waiter took them directly to the private room, where the table was already full of dishes.
Lin Leyao looked at the table full of delicious food, her mouth opened so wide that she could fit an egg in. Oh no, she had a small mouth, so a quail egg would be fine.
"Sister Le Yan, these are their specialties. Please try them and change them if you don't like them." Jian Yan helped her pull out the chair and respectfully asked her to sit down.
"Jian Yan, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but although your family is rich, you can't squander the money like this." Lin Leyan pretended to be an elder and taught him. She completely forgot that she was the least qualified to criticize others.
"Don't worry, Sister Le Yan. The money for today's dinner was all earned by me. I didn't use a single cent from my family." Jian Yan pulled out a chair and let Lin Le Yao sit down, and then he sat down himself.
This boy is so experienced, she underestimated him. Lin Leyan looked at the food in front of her, then looked at Jian Yan who looked confident, and thought about what he had said along the way... Then she found an excuse to call Lin Leyao to the toilet.
Lin Leyao: "Sister."
Lin Leyan: "Yaoyao, are you sure you can handle a man like Jian Yan? I'm not trying to discourage you, he's too scheming, I'm afraid you..."
"Sister, I know you are doing this for my own good, but I still say the same thing, I believe in Jian Yan." Lin Leyao certainly didn't want her cousin and Jian Yan to have any conflicts.
As smart as Lin Leyan was, she carefully discovered the other hidden meaning in Lin Leyao's words. She narrowed her eyes, looked at her like a criminal and asked: "You just said the same thing? Have you said this to others before? Someone who likes Jian Yan?"
My sister is so smart that she was exposed accidentally.
Lin Leyao could only accept her fate and nodded.
Lin Leyan: "Who is the other party?"
To show leniency to those who confess, she recounted Lu Zeqiu’s story in general.
Lin Leyao crossed her arms over her chest and gave her an unfathomable look: "I didn't expect you to be capable and not lose face for our Lin family. That girl was quite sensible. Let's go back."
Did this count as passing the test? Lin Leyao returned to her seat like a little follower. She was always sensitive to food and found that the dishes on the table had been moved. The one in front of her was the one she was most interested in.
Of course Lin Leyan also noticed it. She glanced at Jian Yan and smiled slightly .
Finally, they got through it. Later, when Lin Leyao and Mingliang talked about today's meal, they were terrified. She used all the scary words she could think of on Lin Leyan and Jian Yan.
So horrifying.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon after the winter vacation. Mingliang's hometown is a coastal city in the north. She often calls Lin Leyao to show off: "Oh, my floor heating is so hot. The average indoor temperature is 26 or 27 degrees every day. I am almost dying of heat."
Shipping is free in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and there is heating in the north. How come she was born in a city where shipping is neither free nor heated?
However, this kind of thing would not heat the South if it was jealous, and Lin Leyao could only say, "Humph!" every time Mingliang showed off.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Jian Yan dragged Lin Leyao into having lunch at his house. Looking at the happy family, Lin Leyao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
However, what she never expected was that in the afternoon, her mother actually called Jian Yan's mother and said that she wanted the two families to have a New Year's Eve dinner together.
In Lin Leyao's memory, the word "New Year's Eve dinner" is always associated with quarrels and smashing plates. In the first year of her parents' divorce, she also received their calls on the Spring Festival, but they were just simple politeness. Everyone mentioned the word "New Year's Eve dinner" tacitly. This year, her mother said: "Yaoyao's father and I have ordered a table of food, and we want to invite your family to celebrate the New Year together."
This invitation suddenly sounded a bit abrupt. To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two families was just that of neighbors, and they were only close friends with their children.
Lin Leyao never expected that after discussing it with Father Jian, Mother Jian happily agreed, and even comforted her by saying, "It's a good opportunity for the two families to have a good meal together, and we can also take this opportunity to settle the matter between you and Jian Yan."
Settle the matter between her and Jian Yan... Lin Leyao was petrified. Why did it sound like she was going to marry Jian Yan, and both parents should meet and set a date.
Before she could get over the shock, Jane's mother took her hand and said earnestly, "You have suffered a lot since you were a child. Your uncle and I have seen it all. You are a strong-willed person. We always wanted to bring you to our house for the New Year, but Jian Yan said no. You would have wild thoughts and think that we were pitying you, but that's not the case. We really love you. But Jian Yan also said that there will always be opportunities in the future. Look, your uncle and I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and you are finally here."
Lin Leyao's heart was deeply moved. She didn't expect that Jian Yan would do all this to protect her.
Thinking about it carefully, ever since their family moved in, they would always send a lot of things over during the holidays. Except for eating and sleeping time, Jian Yan would always find various reasons to take her out to play, set off fireworks for her to watch, and make her happy.
It was also because of Jian Yan that her life was not so difficult.
"Mom, do I need to wear a suit for dinner tonight?" After knowing that the two families were going to have a dinner together in the evening, Jian Yan went back to his room. After a long while, he poked his head out and asked this question.
Could he have gone back to his room to look for clothes?
"Auntie, I'll go help him." Lin Leyao volunteered to run upstairs. Despite Jian Yan's repeated rejections, she still squeezed into his room.
Sure enough, there were lots and lots of clothes on the bed.
"Oh, Jian Yan, you actually have a floral shirt. Oh, these little flowers are so charming. They must look great on you. Let me see when you put them on."
"What is this? A tight vest? It's so tight, will it expose your breasts when you wear it?"
"And white trousers! Tight jeans! Polo shirts! Wow, isn't this the popular military coat on the Internet?" Lin Leyao picked up his clothes in amazement and expressed all kinds of feelings. Finally, she said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, you actually have so many clothes like this, it's really impressive."
"Lin Leyao, are you here to laugh at me on purpose?" Jian Yan looked at her with a dark face.
It's over! I touched the tiger's butt!
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to come up to help you... Jian Yan, what are you doing... Stay away from me. You're so close, I feel pressured..."
After some inappropriate talk for children, Lin Leyao covered her mouth and glared at Jian Yan, who had a satisfied smile on his face, and she wanted to hang him up and beat him!
Ever since they started dating, he often used this method to shut her up, but she never learned her lesson and always provoked him.
"Okay, tell me, which one do you think looks better on me?" Jian Yan looked at her shy face with satisfaction, feeling very proud.
"The suit you're wearing is fine . It's just a home-cooked meal, there's no need to dress up in a suit." Lin Leyao said.
"Although I often meet your parents, this is the first time we officially meet your parents since we started dating, so I feel it should be more formal." Jian Yan compared the suit to himself again, "But, like you said, it seems a bit restrained to wear a suit for a home-cooked meal."
Lin Leyao nodded heavily : "Yes, that's right."
"What, you don't want to tease me anymore?" Seeing her obedient appearance, Jian Yan wanted to tease her again.
How dare she? Lin Leyao smiled bitterly in her heart and complimented him: "Mr. Jian looks handsome in anything he wears!"
"Yaoyao, have you ever thought about why your parents suddenly said they wanted to have New Year's Eve dinner together?" Jian Yan packed all his clothes and sat next to her.
Hearing this, the doubts that Lin Leyao had tried hard to hide in her heart also surfaced: "I don't know either. I can understand my mother's side. She talked it through when we met last time. But my father... he seems to be getting married. That woman already has his child. I don't understand why he is here too."
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side no matter what." Jian Yan hugged her gently, patted her back and comforted her, "This will be your home from now on."
"Um."
The hotel that Lin Leyao's parents booked was actually the same hotel where Jian Yan invited Lin Leyan to dinner last time, which made her sigh that this city was too small.
When the Jian family and Lin Leyao arrived, her parents were already waiting there. They were sitting on either side of them. When they saw them come in, they put down their phones and stood up to greet them.
Jian Yan subconsciously grabbed Lin Leyao's hand to calm her fluctuating emotions.
"Dad, Mom." Lin Leyao called her parents politely but distantly.
How many years has it been since I saw them smile on New Year's Eve? Three years? Five years? Ten years?
"Come on, please take a seat. Today is a holiday and we only have New Year's set menu here. We ordered it on our own initiative. I hope you don't mind." Mother Lin asked Father Jian and Mother Jian to sit down, and then arranged for Lin Leyao to sit next to Father Lin.
She clearly felt that when she sat down, her father beside her trembled a little, as if he was extremely uncomfortable, and moved his body.
The heart that was originally somewhat happy suddenly fell into an icy cave, and the smile on the face became extremely dry.
Jian Yan didn't see what Lin's father did, but he saw the sudden coldness on Lin Leyao's face. He held her hand tightly, and when she turned to look at him, he gave her a comforting smile. That smile seemed to repeat, "No matter what happens, I'm here."
Yes, no matter how her parents treated her, she had already learned to get used to it, right? At least she was not alone now, no matter what happened, she had Jian Yan.
"Don't you have something to do later? I'll sit next to Yaoyao, and you can sit on the outside so it's convenient for you to go out." Lin's father's little details did not escape Lin's mother's eyes. She originally wanted him to get closer to Yaoyao, but who knew he would do such a thing. Lin's mother yelled at him to move away, and she sat next to Lin Leyao and whispered, "It's a holiday today, be happy, mom is here."
"Yeah." Tears moistened his eyes.
After the last meeting, the distance between mother and daughter became much closer. Mom often called her to ask about life, and occasionally mentioned Dad, just like talking about an ordinary friend, saying that his girlfriend was pregnant and he was about to get married. Without the affection, the resentment also disappeared.
Lin Leyao once asked her mother: "Mom, have you ever regretted it?"
My mother replied: "I regret it. I regret not correcting my mistakes and divorcing your father sooner, which made you suffer for so many years."
"Yaoyao's mother, we are relatives from now on. Yaoyao will be taken care of by Jian Yan, don't worry. I dare not say anything else about my son, but he can definitely treat Yaoyao well." When the food came, Mother Jian raised her glass to Mother Lin with a smile, "Come on, let's have a drink together, two women."
"Thank you for raising such a good child like Jianyan. I am relieved to leave Yaoyao to Jianyan." Mother Lin also stood up.
After the wine glasses clinked lightly in the air, the two mothers smiled brightly.
"See? Your mother has already recognized me. You are mine." Jian Yan whispered in Lin Leyao's ear.
"Hey, haven't I already been Mr. Jian's person?" Lin Leyao climbed up the pole.
"Huh? Is that so?" Jian Yan asked back with a malicious smile.
Lin Leyao saw another meaning in his eyes and cursed him in her heart, “You filthy rascal.”
"Looking at the affection between the young couple, it's really enviable. Mother-in-law, this is what I think. I will hold a wedding for them after they graduate from college. Boys should get married first and then start a career, don't you think?" Mother Lin looked at the two of them and smiled even more.
As expected, when the parents of both sides met, they talked about marriage. Before the meal, Lin Leyao had thought about this possibility, but when she really started talking about it, she still blushed a little.
"I was worried that you would think it's too early for them to get married right after graduation, but now that I've heard what your mother-in-law said, I'm relieved." Mother Lin held Lin Leyao's hand and said, "Yaoyao has suffered a lot because of me since she was a child. I'm hoping that she will have a good home. It's her luck to meet you, Jian Yan."
Mother Jian: "No, no, our Jian Yan must have burned eight lifetimes of incense to marry your Yaoyao."
Mother Lin: "Mother-in-law is too polite."
Lin Leyao stared in amazement as the mothers of the two families exchanged pleasantries at the dining table. She really wanted to say, "Mom, I'm the person involved. Did you ask me about my marriage?"
It was obvious that they didn't want to ask her and Jian Yan's opinions at all. After a few rounds of toasts, they had decided that the two should get married after graduation and get engaged before getting married.
Mother Jane took out her cell phone and checked the perpetual calendar for a while. She decided that June 6th was a good day, so she let them get engaged on that day.
Mother Lin was also happy to hear this, and said happily that she would prepare everything for the engagement.
Of course, Mother Jane couldn't let Mother Lin do everything alone. After the two of them discussed for a while, they had already worked out the division of labor and also finalized the hotel and catering standards.
"Wife, the food is getting cold. Can you and your mother-in-law eat something first before continuing the conversation?" Father Jane, who had been silent the whole time, finally couldn't help but pull his wife.
"That's right, Mom, you should eat something with Auntie first. If you're hungry, your brain won't work as well."
Lin Leyao had long been afraid of these two women who were getting more and more excited the more they talked. In a short while, they had already talked about the engagement party, the wedding ceremony, and the honeymoon location. If they were allowed to continue, they would probably even talk about how many children they would have in the future.
Father Lin drank silently, as if he was drowning his sorrows.
Lin Leyao glanced at her father and still felt a little sad. She knew her mother wanted her to spend a happy New Year with the whole family together, but how could she force such a thing?
"Dad, didn't you say that there were still things to do at the company? Your company is really something. We still have to work during the New Year. Although you are the boss, you also have to take care of your health." Lin Leyao's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"I...I..." Father Lin obviously didn't expect her to say that. He stuttered and didn't know how to respond.
He knew that he had let his daughter down. For so many years, he had been trying to make up for it with money, but he knew that money could not make up for fatherly love. The reason he came here today was just because he had a change of heart. After sitting for a long time, he kept thinking about the pregnant woman at home, and he wanted to fly back immediately.
Lin Leyao's words undoubtedly gave him a reason to leave. He wanted to say no, but she had already stood up, raised her glass, apologized to everyone present and left.
“Yaoyao, you…” Mother Lin was a little shocked as she didn’t expect her daughter to do this.
"Mom, his heart isn't here anymore, so why force him to stay? I don't need his pity, having you and Jian Yan by my side is enough." Lin Leyao comforted her mother and said, "Look, now that he's gone, aren't we freer?"
"You... " Mother Lin smiled with relief. Her daughter has really grown up.
"Mother-in-law, I just thought about it. You said that 30 tables for their engagement party is a bit too few. I think 60 tables is better. For the wedding, I want to set up 108 tables..."
The two women started talking again. Mother Jian even took the tableware and sat next to Mother Lin. The two held hands and continued to discuss like good sisters...
Well, this time they finally discussed having children. They said they hoped Jian Yan and Lin Leyao could have two children, the first one would have the surname Jian and the second one would have the surname Lin.
Then...which kindergarten should the child go to, which primary school should he attend...
Jian Yan and Lin Leyao looked at each other, then looked at Jian's father who was abandoned by his wife, and they were speechless and tears flowed down their cheeks.
