Alliance: Start Suona, send away the stupid sister Zhou

Lin Feng walked out of the house, the sun shining on him, his heart full of expectations. He walked all the way to the agreed coffee shop, replaying the past with Rita in his mind. During that time, the happiness and sadness they shared together seemed to be right in front of him. However, the reality was so cruel, Rita's indifference made him feel helpless.

When he finally arrived at the cafe, Rita was already sitting by the window, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, looking out the window intently. Lin Feng took a deep breath, trying to make himself look more relaxed, walked up to her, smiled and greeted her: "Hi, Rita."

Rita turned her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she regained her composure: "Hi, Lin Feng." Her voice was light, and she didn't seem to have much enthusiasm.

"I brought you a small gift." Lin Feng handed the bag to her, feeling nervous and looking forward to her reaction.

Rita glanced at the bag and frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Thank you, but I don't think it's necessary."

Lin Feng's heart sank, and he forced a smile: "I just wanted to express my apology, I hope you like it."

"I know what you mean, but I really don't need it right now." Rita's tone became more firm, as if she was rejecting all the comfort he brought.

"Why? Don't we still have a lot of good memories between us?" Lin Feng tried to save the relationship, but he felt powerless in his heart.

"Lin Feng, things have already happened, and I need time to digest it." Rita's eyes turned cold, as if she was keeping a distance from him.

"I understand." Lin Feng reluctantly withdrew his hand, feeling a sense of loss in his heart. "Then I hope you can take good care of yourself."

Rita nodded, as if she didn't want to continue the topic. Lin Feng felt suffocated and thought to himself: Is this really going to end like this? He was unwilling to accept this, so he came up with an idea.

"Rita, I know you like traveling." He said tentatively, "Why don't we go on a trip together to relax, maybe we can find the tacit understanding we once had again."

Rita was stunned for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure: "I don't want to travel now, really."

"But I think you deserve a chance." Lin Feng continued to persuade, a glimmer of hope in his heart, "We can go to a new place, try new things, maybe it will allow us to let go of the past."

"Lin Feng, I need some time." Rita's tone carried a hint of helplessness, as if there was no more room.

Lin Feng's heart tightened, knowing that no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be useless, so he could only say goodbye helplessly. When he walked out of the cafe, his mood fell to the bottom, as if he had lost all hope.

In the next few days, Lin Feng kept thinking about how to repair his relationship with Rita. He thought of Li Xue, maybe he could ask her for advice. So he made an appointment with Li Xue and went to a restaurant together.

"Sister, I've been in some trouble recently." After sitting down, Lin Feng said straight to the point, his face full of worry.

"What's wrong? Is it about work?" Li Xue asked with concern.

"No, it's about Rita." Lin Feng sighed and slowly told Li Xue what happened.

"She rejected you?" Li Xue frowned slightly, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I want to travel and take her to a new place, maybe it will help her relax." A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

"That's a good idea, but you have to make her willing." Li Xue said seriously, "Maybe you can write her a letter to express your feelings first."

"Letter?" Lin Feng was stunned. "I have never written a letter before."

"Then give it a try, write down your true feelings and let her know how much you care about her." Li Xue encouraged.

Lin Feng nodded and made up his mind. After returning home, he sat at his desk and began to write a letter. Between the lines, he expressed his longing for Rita and his apology, and his desire to reconcile.

A few days later, Lin Feng plucked up the courage and put the letter into Rita's mailbox. Although he was nervous, he still held a glimmer of hope.

Not long after, Rita replied to him, writing: "I received your letter, thank you for your concern for me. Maybe I should give myself a chance to see the outside world."

Lin Feng was overjoyed, finally waiting for a turning point. He immediately replied to Rita and suggested that they go on a short trip to a picturesque place.

Finally, Rita agreed. Raymond's mood finally regained some of its luster, and it seemed that everything was moving in a good direction. They agreed on a departure date, and Raymond began to carefully plan the trip, looking forward to warming up his relationship with Rita.

On the day of the trip, the sun was shining brightly, and Raymond Lam arrived at the agreed location early. They took the bus together to the destination. Along the way, Raymond Lam tried his best to liven up the atmosphere and told interesting stories, hoping to relax Rita.

However, when they arrived at their destination, something unexpected happened. The tour guide took them into a seemingly ordinary jade shop, claiming that the jade here was of high quality and reasonably priced. Lin Feng saw the dazzling array of jade in the shop and thought to himself: This place is really good.

But it didn't take long for Lin Feng to notice something was wrong. The tour guide began to sell the product constantly, and even forced tourists to buy it under the pretext of "limited time discount". Rita was dissatisfied with this and whispered to Lin Feng: "This doesn't sound right."

Lin Feng's heart tightened, realizing that he might have been brought in by a black-hearted tour guide. He looked around and found that other tourists also looked confused and uneasy, as if they realized the tour guide's intention.

"We can't stay here any longer." Lin Feng decided secretly, and his courage ignited in his heart. He said to Rita, "Let's go, don't be fooled by them."

"But the tour guide said..." Rita hesitated.

"I don't care what he says. We can't let ourselves be deceived." Lin Feng said firmly, with determination flashing in his eyes.

He took Rita's hand and walked towards the exit. The tour guide caught up with them and shouted, "What are you doing? Don't leave if you don't buy anything!"

Lin Feng stopped, turned back and looked at the tour guide, without flinching: "We don't want to buy it, you have no right to force us."

The surrounding tourists all looked at him with approval. Lin Feng's courage infected them, and several people began to stand up and said they didn't want to stay in this place anymore.

"What are you doing? Stop right there!" the tour guide shouted angrily, but no one was willing to listen to his advice at this time.

Lin Feng felt relieved and thought to himself: Maybe this is the power of unity. In the end, the tour guide reluctantly gave way, and Lin Feng and Rita walked out of the store smoothly.

Walking out of the store, Lin Feng felt a surge of pride in his heart. He not only protected himself and Rita, but also fought for the rights of other tourists. Rita looked at him with a flash of admiration in her eyes, and seemed to appreciate him even more.

"You are so brave." Rita said with a smile, a hint of approval in her tone. "I just did what I should do." Lin Feng responded with a smile, but he was secretly proud of himself.

During the following journey, Raymond Lam and Rita's relationship gradually warmed up. They visited scenic spots together and shared each other's dreams and future. Raymond Lam felt a long-lost tacit understanding, and it seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.

A few days later, they returned to the city after their trip. Raymond thought to himself: Perhaps this trip not only helped him and Rita find each other again, but also made him understand the importance of courage and perseverance.

"Let's travel together again next time." Lin Feng suggested, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it." Rita responded with a smile, her face filled with happiness.

In this process, Raymond Lam not only repaired his relationship with Rita, but also grew up a lot. He understood that the challenges and difficulties in life will eventually turn into opportunities and bring new hope through courage and persistence.

After the trip, Raymond and Rita became closer, but the pressure of reality was quietly approaching. A few days later, Rita received a call from home. It was her mother's voice on the other end of the phone, urging her to go home as soon as possible to talk about the future.

"I know you and Raymond Lam have a good relationship, but you also have to consider your future plans." Rita's mother said in a serious tone on the phone, "You are not a child anymore, and we hope you can start a family as soon as possible."

After Rita hung up the phone, her face was full of sorrow. She knew that the pressure from her family to get married made her feel suffocated. She didn't want to disappoint her parents, but at the same time she didn't want to rush into a decision. So she decided to talk to Raymond Lam, hoping that he could understand her situation.

"Lin Feng, I think we need to talk." Rita spoke during a date, with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

"What's wrong? You look a little uneasy." Lin Feng asked with concern.

"My family has recently started urging me to get married. They hope that I can find a suitable person to marry as soon as possible." Rita lowered her head and spoke weakly.

Lin Feng's heart tightened. Although his feelings for Rita were growing stronger, the matter of marriage made him feel stressed. He tried to stay calm and asked, "So what are you going to do?"

"I... I don't know." Rita sighed, "I don't want to disappoint my parents, but I don't want to make a hasty decision either."

"We can face this problem together." Lin Feng thought to himself, maybe it's time to meet Rita's parents and show his sincerity.

A few days later, Lin Feng finally plucked up the courage and asked Rita to go to her home. Rita's parents entertained them warmly, but at the table, the atmosphere gradually became tense.

"Lin Feng, what do you do for a living?" Rita's father suddenly asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

"I work in an Internet company, responsible for product design." Lin Feng replied, trying to make his voice sound confident.

"Oh, that sounds good." Rita's mother did not show much interest and continued to ask, "When are you going to get married?"

"We are still in the stage of getting to know each other, and getting married will take time." Lin Feng answered cautiously, but he began to feel uneasy.

"Time? You have been together for a while. Do you still need more time?" Rita's father sounded dissatisfied, as if questioning Lin Feng's determination.

"I think marriage is a big event in life and we need to take it seriously." Raymond Lam tried to explain, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

"You're right, but we hope you can give our daughter a clear future." Rita's mother said coldly, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes.

As the conversation went on, Lin Feng felt more and more uncomfortable. He realized that Rita's parents were not very satisfied with him and even began to doubt his ability. In the end, the dinner ended in an awkward atmosphere, and Lin Feng was filled with loss and helplessness.

"I'm sorry, Raymond," Rita whispered on the way home, "I didn't know they would do this."

"It's okay, I'll try my best." Lin Feng forced a smile, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart.

A few days later, Lin Feng decided not to give up. He began to work hard to improve his abilities and strive to achieve better results at work. He hoped to win the recognition of Rita's parents with his strength.

However, while he was busy with work, Rita's pressure was increasing. Her parents began to arrange blind dates for her and even introduced some good boys to her. Rita felt helpless but could do nothing about it.

One day, Rita accidentally met Luo Xin, a lively and lovely girl. Luo Xin confided her troubles to Rita: "My family is also urging me to get married, which is really a headache. Have you ever thought about finding someone to pretend to be my boyfriend to help me deal with it?"

Rita was stunned, and then she had an idea: "Actually, I have a friend who is facing similar problems. We can work together!"

So, Rita and Luo Xin decided to plan a "fake love" together. Luo Xin contacted Raymond Lam and proposed this plan.

"Lin Feng, are you willing to help? We can deal with the pressure of getting married at home together." Luo Xin said with a smile.

Lin Feng hesitated a little, but seeing Rita's expectant eyes, he finally agreed. He thought that this might be an opportunity to not only help Rita and Luo Xin, but also to show his ability in the process.

So, the plan of pretending to be in love began. Raymond Lam and Luo Xin pretended to be a loving couple, frequently appeared in various social occasions, and even posted some photos on social media. After seeing this, Luo Xin's parents stopped urging them to get married, and instead praised Raymond Lam.

At the same time, Lin Feng gradually demonstrated his strength in the process. His performance at work became better and better, which won the recognition of his leaders and even got the opportunity to be promoted.

A few months later, Rita's parents finally began to change their opinion of Raymond Lam. Seeing his achievements in his career, their attitude became much more gentle.

"Lin Feng, I heard that you got a promotion recently, that's great." Rita's father took the initiative to talk to Lin Feng with a hint of appreciation in his tone.

"Thank you, I will continue to work hard." Lin Feng responded with a smile and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Eventually, Rita's parents' attitude towards Raymond Lam changed completely and began to accept his relationship with Rita. Raymond Lam felt extremely relieved and finally saw the dawn of hope.

In the process of pretending to be in love, Raymond Lam and Luo Xin also established a deep friendship. Luo Xin has a cheerful personality and often brings happiness to Raymond Lam, making him feel a little relaxed after his busy work.

"Thank you, Lin Feng, I really appreciate your help." Luo Xin said gratefully at a party. (End of this chapter)
