Then, Mr. Chen said with a smile, "Oh, if that's how you put it, then I think I understand."

"Right? But if you can understand, that would be the best thing, and I wouldn't have to worry so much." Li Lili then quickly added with a smile.

After Li Lili finished speaking, she immediately looked at Chen's mother.

"What's wrong? I'm still immersed in this fake world." After seeing the look Li Lili was giving her, Chen's mother quickly asked with a smile.

After Li Lili finished speaking, Chen's mother immediately fell into her own reverie.

However, at this moment, Li Lili seemed to be confused by what Chen's mother was saying, and couldn't quite understand what Chen's mother meant.

Then he saw Li Lili standing to the side, smiling, and said, "Why don't I understand?"

Li Lili's words were quite clear, but she didn't understand what Chen's mother meant. She didn't know what Chen's mother was trying to express. Of course, at this moment, Chen's father and Li Lili were probably thinking the same thing—neither of them quite understood the meaning behind Chen's mother's words.

Just then, Chen's mother smiled and quickly said, "Haha, it's actually very simple. I'm just lost in memories of when I was twenty. You don't need to worry about me, let me just daydream for a while."

“Okay, we understand. We won’t worry about you anymore. But I still want to remind you not to forget your steps. We were just talking about taking care of your own pace, right? Let’s keep walking forward.” Li Lili then quickly reminded Chen’s mother.

After Li Lili finished speaking, she quickly reached out and pulled Chen's mother along, signaling her to come along.

Then, Chen's mother immediately took Li Lili's hand and started walking with her. Chen's mother did this mainly because she was afraid that if she was too focused on remembering something, she would forget how to walk.

However, as it turns out, Mrs. Chen's concerns were not wrong at all.

Just then, Chen's mother stopped involuntarily as she walked to the lakeside.

"What's wrong?" Li Lili sensed something was amiss and quickly asked.

Mrs. Chen first looked at the lakeside, then turned to Mr. Chen and said, "Why don't you tell the child?"

"What should I say? I'll say it," Mr. Chen quickly said, trying to brush it off. However, Li Lili could tell that Mr. Chen was clearly a little embarrassed when he said that.

Then Li Lili smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is this where your story begins?"

"How did you know?" Chen's mother blurted out after hearing this.

"How did you know?" Almost at the same time, Mr. Chen, who was standing next to him, also asked.

After seeing the reactions of Mr. and Mrs. Chen, Li Lili immediately started to laugh.

Then, Chen's father smiled and said, "Haha, it's rare to see your mother and I so in sync."

"Haha, you noticed it yourself? It's really rare for you and Mom to be on the same page like this." Li Lili quickly replied from the side.

"Yes, how could I not see that? To be honest, in all these years, I've never had such a tacit understanding with your mother," Mr. Chen said casually.

"Okay, now who will tell me your story?" Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly asked with a smile.

After Li Lili finished speaking, she saw Chen's mother pointing at Chen's father and saying with a smile, "This crucial task, of course, should be completed by your dad, right, honey?"

"Oh dear, what are you saying? Tell me. I've completely forgotten. It happened so many years ago, who could remember?" Seeing this, Mr. Chen quickly said with a smile.

It was obvious that Mr. Chen was embarrassed. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head again, looking quite ashamed.

Just then, Chen's mother said with a smile, "Were you joking with me just now? Tell me, you forgot? Are you sure?"

Chen's mother's smile was not the same gentle smile as before; instead, it was a smile on her face, but a knife in her heart.

Then he saw the way Mr. Chen looked at Mrs. Chen, and a chill ran down his spine. He quickly replied, "How could that be? I was just joking. I certainly won't forget."

Chapter 1 Warm Memories

As Mr. Chen spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Chen with a pleased expression. Mr. Chen knew Mrs. Chen very well; if she wanted to get angry with him, she wouldn't care about the occasion. In such a serious situation today, Mr. Chen was very worried about what kind of outburst Mrs. Chen might have.

However, at that moment, Li Lili smiled and said to Mr. Chen, "Dad, since you know, why don't you tell us quickly? Otherwise, I don't know at all. I'm so worried."

"Well, how should I explain this to you?" Mr. Chen, who was standing nearby, quickly said with a smile after hearing this.

"You heard it all, didn't you? The child is asking you what happened. Why don't you just tell the child directly? Why are you being so long-winded?" Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen with a helpless expression.

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, Mr. Chen spoke up again, saying, "Well, how should I put it?"

"It's alright, Dad, let's start from the beginning. We can talk slowly," Li Lili said with a smile.

Then I saw Mr. Chen fall into deep thought...

"I remember it was a crisp, clear morning. When I came to the lake to read, I saw a girl in a white dress sitting by the lake, reading a book. She had flowing hair, and her every move by the lake gave her the air of a graceful lady. I was deeply attracted by her silhouette, so I strode towards her with brisk steps..." And that's when Mr. Chen began to recall the story with a smile.

Listening to what Mr. Chen was saying, Mrs. Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Then, Mrs. Chen, who was standing to the side, quickly said with a smile to Mr. Chen, "Oh dear, it's just asking you to explain it to the child, why are you going into such detail?"

"Well, this is the task you assigned me. I've already accepted it. How to explain it is my job. You just need to listen." Then, seeing Mr. Chen standing to the side, he quickly said with a smile.

At that moment, Chen's mother nodded helplessly and then said nothing more.

So Mrs. Chen shut her mouth and began to listen to Mr. Chen tell the story.

"Dad, what happened next?" Li Lili asked, engrossed in the conversation.

"Later, I walked closer to your mother and saw her face clearly. As I approached, she sensed my presence and slowly looked away from her textbook, turning her gaze towards me. Of course, what followed was a brief eye contact between us, and I clearly saw her face. To be honest, my first feeling was one of disappointment. I didn't expect your mother to look like this," Mr. Chen said to Li Lili, his voice serious.

Hearing what Mr. Chen said, Mrs. Chen was very dissatisfied. She immediately turned around to look at Mr. Chen and then said with a smile, "What are you saying?"

"Huh? You heard me after all?" Just then, Mr. Chen asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? You dare to say it, but you don't dare let me hear it? What are you saying? If you're so capable, then keep talking!" Then she saw Chen's mother standing to the side and continued to ask.

"Huh? I didn't say anything, it was just... just pure curiosity. Hehe," Mr. Chen said with a smile.

"I don't think things are that simple, are they? Just tell me straight, my face, you weren't satisfied with it back then, were you?" Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Chen and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen, who was standing nearby, immediately shook his head vigorously in denial, saying, "How could that be? First, am I such a shallow person? Second, if I were really disappointed, would we still have so many stories? Third, and most importantly, do you really have so little confidence in your own appearance?"

Mr. Chen began speaking with a very serious attitude, which made Mrs. Chen, who was standing next to him, feel a little flustered.

Then Chen's mother smiled and said, "Hmm, what you said seems to be true."

"Haha, see? That's why I said. Don't overthink it." Then Li Lili, who was standing next to him, quickly chimed in with a smile.

As soon as Li Lili finished speaking, she saw Chen's mother say with great satisfaction, "Hmm, that's more like it. Okay, I forgive you."

"And then what happened?" Li Lili then asked again.

Li Lili was engrossed in the story when she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Ah, well, that's how I met your mother. Because of her, I started coming here to study every morning during my university years. And, just between you and me, your mother is the same as me." At this moment, Mr. Chen, with a roguish grin, began to whisper to Li Lili...

However, Chen's mother still saw all of this.

Then Chen's mother spoke up with a faint smile, saying, "Can you please stop twisting the facts? I clearly found this place first, okay? How can you say it's because of you? You tell me, before I met you, I was always here, wasn't I? And then again, why can't I come here again after I met you? Don't you think so?"

"Yes, you're absolutely right, that makes a lot of sense," Li Lili nodded in confirmation after hearing this.

Then, seeing Chen's mother standing to the side, she continued with a smile, "That's just wishful thinking!"

"Haha, isn't that what the plot requires? I'm just saying a little more here. What's wrong? Is it not allowed? Besides, this matter still needs to be investigated. Who knows what your reason is for insisting on reading here all of a sudden?" Then, seeing Mr. Chen, she asked with a smile.

Chapter 148 Warm Memories 2

Just then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, looked at Mr. Chen immediately after he finished speaking, and then couldn't help but start laughing.

"What's wrong? Xiaoxue, do you have any thoughts on this too? If you do, then just say it!" Chen's mother, who was standing to the side, saw Li Lili suddenly laugh and thought that Li Lili had some other ideas, so she quickly asked.

After hearing what Chen's mother said, Li Lili immediately shook her head, and then quickly said with a smile, "Haha, actually, no, I don't feel that way at all."

"What's wrong?" Mr. Chen, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"It's nothing, it's alright, you guys can continue, you can continue." Just then, Li Lili, who was standing to the side, quickly spoke up.

However, at that moment, Chen's mother was seen talking and laughing while gently pulling on Li Lili's arm.

It turned out that Chen's mother was speaking to Li Lili, saying, "Listen carefully again, what else did your father say?"

"Okay," Li Lili replied with a smile upon seeing this.

Then she saw Chen's mother standing to the side, who smiled at Li Lili and nodded earnestly.

Then Mr. Chen was immersed in warm memories.

Just then, Mr. Chen quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Hmm, if that's how you put it, I need to think carefully about what else might happen next."

Mr. Chen spoke in this way on purpose, but in fact, the scene from that year had already completely flooded his mind.

"You really need to think carefully about what else happened, and don't forget it." Just then, Chen's mother spoke up again.

Then, Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

After Mr. Chen finished speaking, he started laughing again.

After a while, Mr. Chen continued, "Later, because we met for a long time, your mother and I got to know each other. Little by little, we became familiar with each other. Eventually, I confessed my feelings to your mother. I remember it was a year after we met. That day, your mother was wearing a white shirt, but not a dress. When I looked at her, my eyes were once again drawn to her."

Mr. Chen was smiling as he began to speak to them.

"Dad, I really admire you now. How do you remember so many details? My goodness, if it were me, I really wouldn't be able to remember them all." Then, seeing Li Lili standing next to him, she quickly said to Chen's father with a smile.

"Xiaoxue, what exactly are you focusing on?" After hearing what Li Lili said, Chen's mother asked helplessly.

Then Li Lili smiled and said, "Didn't you notice? My dad really loves you. Otherwise, how could he remember so clearly? He even remembers what clothes you were wearing! Besides, this happened so many years ago!"

"Well, okay, okay, I admit, your focus is pretty accurate, isn't it?" Just then, Chen's mother quickly spoke up with a smile.

However, at this moment, Mr. Chen spoke up again and asked, "Do you want to hear more?"

"Us?" Upon seeing this, Chen's mother immediately asked.

“Yes, you guys. What’s wrong? Isn’t that right?” Then, seeing Mr. Chen standing to the side, he continued to speak.

"Well, okay then." Seeing how determined Mr. Chen was, Mrs. Chen replied calmly.

Then Li Lili quickly spoke up with a smile, saying, "Of course we want to hear more! Tell us more, please hurry up!"

"What happens next is something you'd never expect," Mrs. Chen added.

"It's true," Mr. Chen said with a smile, nodding.

After watching what Mr. and Mrs. Chen were saying, Li Lili became even more curious, and then quickly said with a smile, "Alright, go ahead and say it, is there anything else?"

"Haha, and also, I confessed my feelings to your mother, didn't I just mention it? It was on the one-year anniversary of when I met your mother. I chose a good date, but it seems the result wasn't so ideal." Then, Mr. Chen sighed helplessly as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Lili was very curious and quickly asked, "Huh? What's wrong? Why is it like this? Don't you and my dad have a pretty good relationship?"

"Yes, it's not bad, that's what I felt too, but who knew it would turn out like this? If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have confessed to him in the first place," Mr. Chen replied, looking dejected.
