![Love [Silver] Perfect](https://pub-2e531bea8d9e487cb3404fa20db89ccb.r2.dev/love--silver--perfect.webp)
In the past, this backyard was a vehicle for his small family to spend time together at dusk almost greet. Himself, the husband, and the son. Still ringing with laughter happy little Steven Lou when managed to glide smoothly from the slide board.
Spin back memories when his tiny legs nimbly run while avoiding the pursuit of the father. However, in the end both knees Steven Lou tread on the floor surface of the play area because it fell down and the boy was crying.
He rushed to help, but the husband had gone ahead, lifted the little guy and sat him on the shoulder. Steven Lou's cry was instantly gone and changed into a happy laugh. Now, all those memories are just memories that are very stifling when it comes to the realization that everything will not be possible to repeat.
Steven Lou is no longer a cute and adorable boy. Now he was an arrogant, stubborn, talkative youth, and was always cold to him.
Ms. Lou, never thought that the decision she took that time would make her lose the affection of her son. Whatever he does is for the good and happiness of Steven Lou.
As if mired into the hole she had dug herself, Lady Lou could now only regret herself. To tell Steven Lou the truth is too hard. He used to always procrastinate on the grounds that he was not ready. Now, after Steven Lou finds out everything by accident, things get worse.
"Mother." The voice came from the daydream realm, but Madam Lou gasped as if to actually hear it.
"Stevens." The woman muttered while looking back.
However, there was no one there and there could not be any. Because behind him is a wall with a neighbor's house.
I want to be, like Dad!
Steven Lou's real little voice only came from the memory room, making him jerk back and immediately turn to the play area. Vague flashes of the shadows of the past that decompose from where they are stored, come back like a replayed movie.
Steven Lou is very fond of his father. Every time I always say 'I want to be like dad' or 'I'll take my place'.
Unable to withstand the agonizing pain, Lady Lou finally returned to crying so badly.
"It's all your fault! If only you had rejected the match, Steven and I would have never experienced any of this!" Like already unable to bear the weight, Lady Lou slumped and rested in the playground. Keep crying and crying.
Time moves on without caring whether we are ready to step with it or not. Every choice has its own risks and consequences.
Steven Lou has decided and vowed in his heart, no matter what happens, will be consistent and committed to his decision.
Arriving at the apartment was quite late because Steven Lou asked to be dropped off a little far from the apartment and continued walking. After taking a bath, Jiang Lizqi applied the ointment to Steven Lou's flushed cheeks.
Throughout the journey just now, the young man had not spoken at all and Jiang Lizqi did not want to disturb him either. Now the two lie on their sides against each other. The silent atmosphere that they usually did not care about, suddenly felt extremely miserable, like there was a melancholic aura scattered in the air. Both can hear each other's breath sounds very clearly and are equally aware that moods affect each other.
"I want to work" Steven Lou suddenly said in a soft, raucous voice.
"How's your lecture."
Jiang Lizqi thought, Steven Lou would be offended when asked about what competence he has so boldly said he wanted to work. So, he asked about something else related, but not potentially offensive.
"I'm going to move to college somewhere else."
Jiang Lizqi slowly turned to face Steven Lou's back, then said, "Do whatever you want, as long as the goal is good. You have to prove your point."
Finally Steven Lou turned around and now they were facing each other, staring at each other. From his heavy breathing and feeling unsteady as he exhaled, Jiang Lizqi knew the young man was trying to refrain from crying. He was really trying hard to the point that his eyes that were harboring lara were not dewy at all.
Compassionate, Jiang Lizqi slowly reached out to touch Steven Lou's white cheek which still had a four-finger mark. "You are not alone, for I will always accompany you. Or at least, whenever you need me there must be."
Steven Lou suddenly felt his chest swell up to the point of clogging his neck. He slowly cupped the hand of Jiang Lizqi that was on his cheek, then clasped tightly together.
"Sorry," he said softly with a shaky voice. This time he could no longer hold back his tears. "It's been troublesome ...." His voice was stuck in the esophagus and was no longer able to speak.
Jiang Lizqi smiled sincerely. "Why it never happened. Forget all the unpleasant. Start a new life."
Unable to speak, Steven Lou could only squeeze Jiang Lizqi's fingers tightly, as if entrusting himself completely to the strongest grip that would never break and betray him.
It had been hard to hold the sobs, but because of the silly question it finally broke Steven Lou's cry along with a snort that was ejected. In the end, after all, he had completely immersed himself in Jiang Lizqi's embrace and tried to organize his feelings as well as control his cries.
It was from this point that Steven Lou's new life began. He made his hobby into a field of money, racing, skateboarding, and dance. He also got a part-time job at a fast food restaurant.
After discussing with Jiang Lizqi, he finally decided to start his first semester of the new school year, majoring in business management. Steven Lou really doesn't want any more contact with Miss Lou. Still want to see Lou Haikuan.
A week later, Lou Haikuan came to give him a motorcycle as well as a new skateboard as a gift. Steven Lou initially balked, but when Lou Haikuan said it was a gift and a memento of him before moving and settling in Singapore, Steven Lou accepted.
Jiang Lizqi had thought, after that event, Madam Lou would come to her at the campus like that time. However, after a month had passed, it turned out that he had never appeared.
On Friday, Jiang Lizqi always came home early. Once out of the elevator, she was immediately startled by Mrs Lou who was standing in front of the door of her apartment unit. The sound of the clanking of the elevator and the shifting door caught the attention of Lady Lou. The two of them immediately stared at each other.
"Jiang Lizqi." Madam Lou's face seemed radiant.
"Aunt Lou, if you want to come, why don't you call?"
"I ...."
Madam Lou did not continue her words, but Jiang Lizqi did not care. She invited Lady Lou in, let her sit down, then went to the kitchen to get a drink.
"I'm sorry to trouble you" said Lady Lou softly as Jiang Lizqi was already sitting before him.
"No Bi. Steven is not a hassle. He has changed a lot now. Very different."
"I know." Sad and happy blend into one so that the face of Lady Lou looks throbbing. "I've seen it."
The woman had never appeared before Steven Lou or Jiang Lizqi, but was secretly monitoring the use of one's services, and sometimes went straight down to see her son's activities.
He is happy because Steven Lou has changed for the better, but also sad to see him working hard for money. The abundant treasure he had accumulated all this time was solely for the sake of his son. So, what's the point of all that if now Steven Lou instead moves away from home and looking for money in his own way?
Not wanting to linger and finally caught by Steven Lou, Lady Lou hurriedly conveyed her point. He took out a very thick packet of brown envelopes from inside his bag, then placed it on the table.
"This. Use it as a living expense, but don't let Steven know." The woman looked at Jiang Lizqi expectantly.
"Attent." Jiang Lizqi suddenly stood up, then stepped inside. Not long after, she brought back a brown envelope that was much thinner than that of Mrs Lou.
"Sorry, I can't take it. This is the rest of the money that Aunt gave me that time." Jiang Lizqi placed her envelope on top of Madam Lou's envelope.
The woman gasped for a moment, not knowing what to say, and when she could speak she could only say one word in a quivering voice, "Why?"
"Steven has decided to live independently. If I received help from Auntie, it would be the same as me betraying her. Not appreciating his decisions and efforts. I don't want to destroy his trust."
Madam Lou's tears immediately fell. The woman sobbed until she was speechless for a long time.
"Aunt Lou, I don't mean to drive out, but Steven's coming home soon ...."
Madam Lou nodded, then looked at Jiang Lizqi intensely. "I understand. Thank you for looking after him. Whatever your relationship is, I respect it. Please take care of Steven ...."
"Aunt Lou, I ...." Jiang Lizqi was unable to continue her words as Madam Lou suddenly hugged her tightly and continued to fumble, please take care of her, please take care of her ....
Meanwhile outside the door, Steven Lou stood glued to listen to their chatter. His lips are thinly curved. He was happy because he trusted the right people. "Thank you, Lizqi." He muttered, then hurriedly moved, went back down to the ground floor, then sat down on the garden chair near the lobby.
He bowed, covering his face with both palms and said, "Thank you, Lizqi. Thank you ...."
