Chapter 117: Why
Chen Ping's footsteps paused slightly, his back to Su Mengxue behind him, and a hint of struggle involuntarily appeared on his face. At this moment, Chen Ping's mind was already a mess, and he couldn't figure out where his mood came from.
But after a while, Chen Ping still calmed down, and said lightly: "No." ”
After saying these two simple words, Chen Ping walked towards the hotel. However, these two words made the throbbing pain in Chen Ping's heart more and more intense, and the feeling became clearer and clearer.
Similarly, this throbbing pain also appeared in Su Mengxue's heart, but at this moment, Su Mengxue forcibly endured this painful feeling.
Su Mengxue had never felt that she could have such courage. At this moment, she seems to have exhausted all the courage in this life. She didn't hesitate, and at the moment when Chen Ping took a step, Su Mengxue raised her voice and said, "But I have something to ask you." ”
was stopped by Su Mengxue twice in a row, and Chen Ping's eyes also showed a bit of helplessness. However, he still stopped, no matter what, Su Mengxue was still his classmate after all, and it was not good for him to completely reject people thousands of miles away.
At that moment, after Chen Ping hesitated, he still said softly: "If you have any questions, you can ask." ”
Su Mengxue smiled, her face was a little pale, and she gently stroked the strands of long hair scattered on her forehead, and her tone suddenly became gentle. But in that gentleness, there is still a bit of determination.
She asked only the simplest question, and it was only three words, "Why?"
Hearing Su Mengxue's question, the struggling look on Chen Ping's face became a little more intense. It's just that Chen Ping has his back to Su Mengxue at this moment, and Su Mengxue can't see the struggle on Chen Ping's face.
As soon as Su Mengxue spoke, the two of them suddenly fell into complete silence.
After a long time, Chen Ping finally suppressed the fluctuation in his heart, turned around slowly, looked at Su Mengxue in front of him with deep eyes, and asked softly, "What why?"
Su Mengxue smiled bitterly, and then gently gritted her silver teeth word by word, and said in a low voice: "It's been three years, obviously you have always liked me for the past three years." But why, it seems that overnight, you have changed so much. Could it be that my three years of waiting are all wishful thinking?"
Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, and then asked pretending to be puzzled, "What are you waiting for?"
Su Mengxue raised her head, summoned up all the courage she had left, stubbornly looked at Chen Ping in front of her, and said word by word: "When I was waiting for us to graduate from high school, I was waiting for the direction of our life to have a general goal.
In the past three years, I have often thought that at this time today, if you still don't take a stand, maybe I will take the initiative. Because I have absolute confidence in my heart that you like me.
Your liking, I have seen it day and night in the past three years. So I firmly believe that today, even if you don't have the courage, I still have it, and the two of us can finally come together.
I can find a boyfriend who is wholeheartedly good to me, and I have always believed that that person should be you. But why are you ...... now?"
Su Mengxue's words made Chen Ping fall into silence for a long time. Chen Ping can explain the answer to this question very clearly, but he can't tell Su Mengxue this answer one by one. Therefore, the question asked by Sun Mengxue was destined to be unanswerable to Chen Ping.
Between the two, they have always maintained such opposing movements. But the atmosphere became more and more silent, and even the guests of the Four Seas Hotel, who occasionally passed by the two of them, could sense the strangeness of the atmosphere between the two, and cast a gossipy glance curiously, but then left in a hurry. The two men seemed to be completely oblivious to the people who passed by the two of them.
As time passed little by little, the blood on Su Mengxue's face was emptied little by little, and finally turned completely pale.
I don't know how long it took, Su Mengxue suddenly smiled. It's just that this smile is full of sadness. She looked at Chen Ping in front of her with a smile, and said with a smile: "I understand." Thank you for enjoying it for the past three years. ”
After finishing speaking, Su Mengxue turned around without hesitation and walked into the Four Seas Hotel. Chen Ping was left alone outside the door of the Four Seas Hotel, standing quietly.
Chen Ping looked at Su Mengxue's bleak but extremely straight back, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, but it was extremely uncomfortable. It seems that there is another idea in his mind that has been influencing Chen Ping himself, and this idea occupies an increasingly heavy proportion in his mind.
He could clearly feel that it was also his own thoughts, his own thoughts, but it was contrary to what he originally thought. At this moment, Chen Ping was a little flustered, he had some guesses in his heart, but he couldn't be sure of these guesses at all.
Since his rebirth, Chen Ping has actually not felt any difference, as if he is still the same self who is nearly 40 years old. was reborn, and it was only with the help of his young body.
In essence, his soul is still the same as in his previous life. However, now, Chen Ping sensed that something seemed to be wrong, as if there were two souls living in his body, one was his 18-year-old self, and the other was his 38-year-old self.
Although it is the same Chen Ping himself, everyone is different at different stages of life, whether it is thoughts or feelings. Just like Chen Ping in his previous life, 20 years ago, when he was young, he deeply liked Su Mengxue, but 20 years later, he never liked any woman again.
It can even be said that Su Mengxue is the only girl Chen Ping likes in his life. Chen Ping in his previous life, when he was 38 years old, met another woman, met Chen Ping, and stepped into the palace of marriage together, and it was at the wedding scene that Chen Ping was reborn back 20 years ago.
That woman, although Chen Ping in the last stage of his life in his previous life, was about to become Chen Ping's wife, but Chen Ping at that time did not necessarily really love that woman.
To put it bluntly, the two of them are just living together, and they can look at each other well. Because Chen Ping at that age had long forgotten the taste of love.
Therefore, the girl Chen Ping really really loved, counting, there should be only Su Mengxue. After being reborn, Chen Ping fell in love with Lin Yuwei, he always thought that he had forgotten the love for Su Mengxue 20 years ago, but now, Chen Ping's heart is at the threshold of the war between heaven and man.
He seemed to understand all of a sudden, after being reborn, although Chen Ping had the memories of his previous life for 40 years, in fact, he was still an 18-year-old self.
It is not so much that Chen Ping in his previous life was reborn and became the current Chen Ping, but that the current Chen Ping suddenly has the memory of the next 20 years.
It is precisely because of this that the feelings in Chen Ping's heart are still 18-year-old Chen Ping himself, but the moment of rebirth, as well as the memories of the whole 20 years since this time, have been instilled into Chen Ping's mind, giving Chen Ping an illusion.
Now that this kind of mistake has awakened, what can bring Chen Ping is endless entanglement and pain. For a moment, Chen Ping's eyes were full of dazed meaning.
Standing at the door of the Four Seas Hotel, it was obviously the midsummer weather, but he clearly felt a trace of coolness, which slowly spread all over his body.
After a long time, Chen Ping let out a long sigh. Since his rebirth, there has never been a moment when Chen Ping will be so at a loss as he is now. He didn't know what to do with his feelings, let alone his identity, and he couldn't even tell whether he was 18 or 38 now.
Although he is also himself, he has a schizophrenic feeling. This kind of feeling will not be good for anyone. For a moment, Chen Ping felt as if he was really suffering from schizophrenia, and even for a moment, he wondered if he had any symptoms of paranoia, and imagined the memory before he was reborn.
This feeling made Chen Ping's heart miserable, and his face even became even paler than Su Mengxue just now. However, after standing at the door of the Four Seas Hotel for such a long time, Chen Ping gradually came back to his senses.
Whether he is 18-year-old or 38-year-old at the moment, after all, Chen Ping has 38 years of life experience, no matter what his true identity is now, at least he is no longer a real 18-year-old hairy young man's psychological state.
Chen Ping soon returned to normal, burying this struggle and pain deep in his heart. Chen Ping knew very well that this was not something that could be figured out in a moment, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
After sorting out his thoughts, he walked slowly and walked into the Four Seas Hotel. When Chen Ping walked into the reserved box, the classmates in the box also looked over.
After seeing Chen Ping, many classmates greeted Chen Ping with a smile, and Chen Ping also coped with it one by one with a smile. It's just that when he saw Su Mengxue, who was silent and didn't even raise his head, Chen Ping's heart still flashed a touch of extreme pain.
However, now that he had completely calmed down, he finally didn't show any abnormality, just found a corner of the room and sat down.
This position happens to be the farthest position from Su Mengxue, and it is also the position that happens to face Su Mengxue.
The classmates at the dinner table were all laughing and laughing, but no one noticed that although Chen Ping and Su Mengxue would say a few words to the classmates who came to talk to them from time to time, the two of them were silent most of the time.
Suddenly, a boy in the class raised his voice curiously and asked, "Su Dabanhua, why haven't you come here for the last few class reunions, what are you busy with?"
Su Mengxue raised her head, smiled reluctantly, and then said softly: "I'm not busy, it's just that there are some things at home." ”
The boy also nodded knowingly, but then asked another question, "By the way, why hasn't Xu Tong come these times?
Su Mengxue smiled slightly, and then said, "She recently traveled in other places and will be back in two days." She will definitely be there at the next class reunion. ”
