"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I don't understand your heart for my sake, and you made a big fuss about your wedding. If it weren't for Gu Beichen, I wouldn't have known that the reason why you said that day was all to deal with the president, and you were afraid that I would tell me about my brother, so I kept guiding me to say that it was only about your feelings, and it turned out that you were also protecting my most vulnerable and last nerve. ”

"Thank you. ”

The diamonds around the neck shimmer strangely and coldly in the light of the unpredictable crystal chandelier.

"This time, let's settle it. You hurt me once in the name of hope, and at the same time protected my nerves as a stranger that were even more fragile than the average person. Thank you. ”

Gu Beiming pulled the corners of his lips bitterly, and his twitching lips opened slightly, but when the words reached his throat, he still chose to suppress the sorrow in his heart. He nodded silently, and continued to look at the clenched teaspoon with a gradually condensed and gloomy gaze.

When the teaspoon made a terrible cracking sound, he raised his head again, and his melancholy eyes burst out with a fierce and determined light again. "Tae-hee, if I could be as willful as Beichen, would you be so gentle with me, although I haven't seen a girl that Beichen has liked for a long time. But I knew she must have something worthy of his affection. ”

There is no room for negotiation in Gu Beiming's tone, although it looks like a temptation on the surface, but Taixi knows that it feels like breaking his father's prejudice and winning Gu's property, but as long as the path he Gu Beiming identifies is, he will never back down or take half a step back or whirlwind.

Tae-hee looked at him in a daze, and after a long silence, she put down the cup in her hand.

"I'm not that girl, I feel more like a thorny rose than that girl who is as warm and cheerful as a marshmallow, or rather I'm a hedgehog that people can't pity. Although it looks innocent and simple, only I know how hurtful my barbs are. ”

Gu Beiming's smile was like a new bridge slowly collapsing after the embankment broke.

In the quiet atmosphere, the chaotic rain mixed with the glow of the sunset faintly diffused through the mottled window, Gu Beiming took a heavy breath, the dimples on his cheeks were bulging, and the violent tremors in his body at that moment made him almost forget to breathe.

"You come with me, and we will find a comfortable place to manage our little life. ”

Tae-hee wanted to avoid the question, but she looked out the window at the darkening sky, and when a blinding white light pierced through the inky cumulus clouds, and in an instant, raindrops the size of beans fell between the clouds and mist like dandelions dispersed by the wind.

"Aren't you fighting with Gu Beichen, and are you worthy of the entrustment given to you by Mrs. Wen (Gu Beiming's biological mother), who cultivated you with all her heart?"

Seeing that Tae-hee's attitude in his eyes was still cold and resolute, Gu Beiming was a little scared, how much he wanted to insist on telling the words that had been pressed in his heart for many years at one time. But when he looked at Tae-hee with tears in the corners of his eyes, he was still helplessly relieved, he knew that one day, he would end this fearless love driven by interests. He smiled awkwardly, then leaned over and approached the air where he could reach out and touch Tae-hee's face.

Tae-hee is a smart woman, and she quickly understands the multiple meanings hidden in Gu Beiming's profound eyes. So, she reached out and touched the necklace around her neck, then picked up the bag she was carrying and stood up from her seat.

"Beiming, go back, as if you've never seen me, okay? You haven't seen me, and naturally you won't fall in love with me. We drank this cup of tea like the strangers we knew best, and never saw each other again. ”

As he spoke, Tae-hee pushed the teacup that was gradually covered with a layer of frost towards Gu Beiming's eyes. "The tea is cold, and I think I should take my leave. ”

"Nope. Gu Beiming flew and increased his wrist strength to grab Tae-hee's wrist, which was about to get up.

"It's not like that, it's not. That's not what you mean by heart. ”

"It's not true, it's true. Whatever you want. If you still can't forget me, then let's just be selfish and be strangers in each other's eyes. Even if you happen to meet you on the street, in the alley, or in a shopping mall grocery store, you won't stop to say hello. ”

"Didn't you say that affection should be reserved for the beloved, and coldness should be given to the rival? The kind you want to eat me alive. In this way, in your heart, I will always be a bad woman who cannot be beaten. ”

"No, Tae-hee. Gu Beiming was powerful, he grabbed Tae-hee's hand and pushed her back to her seat, Tae-hee staggered and almost fell on the cold marble floor next to the limp seat.

"Bang!" the teacup slipped from the corner of the table and fell to the floor.

A dark red and slightly brown liquid burst down like a waterfall, and then the halo of water scattered and spread out was like jelly and froze at the feet of the two men.

"Tae-hee, do you have to hurt me and yourself with such ruthless words? Why must your selfish spearhead be aimed at me? Do you know how much courage I just mustered up to say such a true thing to you?" Gu Beiming put her back in her seat for the first time, regardless of her image. Tae-hee choked up, she stubbornly stood and kept her legs from going limp, she immediately turned her head sideways, looked out the window, and looked at the bus moving at a constant speed in the hazy fog, she swallowed the fishy saliva back into her stomach.

"Gu Beiming, I beg you, I really can't afford to lose. Don't torture me like this in the name of love, okay? Do you know how desperate I am now because of your persistence. You helped me rekindle the flame of hope again and again, and poured cold water on me when I walked towards you with joy. Tae-hee's lips trembled, twisting and crawling up the corners of her lips that were dotted with tears. "True love is the best form of entertainment in the eyes of your upper class, but what about me, being dragged to the stage like a clown and then kicked from heaven to hell. Beiming, if you really love me, give me the power to choose, and let me break up with you. ”

"Is this really what you are saying in your heart? Can't you be selfish and tell me that you love me too? Why? Why do you have to hurt me who loves you so much with selfish words? ”

Gu Beiming nervously grabbed her hand and hugged her towards his hot chest. He wrapped his arms around her softly.

The wind outside the window lifted the curtains, and his whispering was soft, but such a fluttering soft voice still made her distracted.

Tae-hee stood motionless as the hail melted into the night, her eyes glazed and blank. Like a puppet with a string, the stiff ice fingers were slightly tightened, and gently looped around Gu Beiming's perfect waist that was wide above and narrow at the bottom.

In the frozen air,

He kissed her reddened earlobe, and when he kissed, he smelled of fresh bergamot.

The slanting glow and gray particles were dancing towards the pair of shadows projected onto the ground.

Beiming let go of Tae-hee, and the two people's deep and hollow gazes met between the dark red particles that swirled.

The wind ruffled Tae-hee's long golden hair, and she slowly raised her head, her slightly trembling hair blocking her dejected eyes. She bit her pale lip hatefully, her eyebrows furrowed slightly. Gu Beiming's gaze was always on Tae-hee's miserable face, he gently stroked the broken hair that blocked Tae-hee's vision, clamped the hair behind his ear, and then, he softly picked up the overwhelmed face, and at that moment his eyes were filled with the same dumb pain.

"I'm sorry, Tae-hee. It's all because I can't give you the security you want. Later. ”

"Without a future, we will never have a future. ”

Tae-hee held back the tears that swirled in her eyes, her lips trembled violently, her eyelashes froze sluggishly, and even the thin wrinkles hidden in the corners of her eyes trembled slightly with the movement of shaking her head.

"Tonight should be our last date, you are also a luxury that a humble person like me should not have. You should know that every day I approach you is cold and dark. I really can't afford it. One more repeat of the same mistakes, and I will definitely hate you, and I will remember you with hatred for the rest of my life. So, please don't come with me again, don't come with me again. ”

Gu Beiming stood stupidly in place, he buried his head deeply, and from Tae-hee's point of view, he seemed to be apologizing. But only he knew that he was actually holding back tears. His unique sense of pride told him that no matter how frustrated he was, he should not shed expensive tears, especially in every public setting.

The night with the rain curtain closed was getting darker, and everyone around seemed to be asleep.

"Everything will pass, it will be fine. Gu Beiming kept repeating this sentence like a low curse. But the feeling of heartache, instead of getting better, brought him to the center of the emotional vortex of collapse, and at that moment, Gu Beiming wished that he could die immediately. Especially when he watched Tae-hee stand up reflexively, she stood facing the door for a long time, and then ran over in a panic. Jumping out of the crystal rain and mist to infiltrate the bar, Gu Beiming hooked his lost lips and looked at the end of the wind. He watched as the girl who gradually knocked on his heart ran into the opposite strange way without looking back.

Gu Beiming stared at her from afar. He really wanted to rush over and hug her tightly, and he also knew that the seemingly strong Tae-hee happened to need his arms the most. It's just one thing, the two people have understood from the beginning that one day the two will return to a relationship where they can't even exchange names.

Beiming, who followed behind, chased D out of despair

uideBa

, In the crowded Heidelberg Street, even though it is raining, there is no Tae-hee in the endless crowd. In the humid air, Gu Beiming looked around as if he was dying, searching for the last trace of warmth that Tae-hee had left to his lonely life.

Until the lilac canopy was struck again by a blinding bolt of lightning and tore open a pitch-black opening. Gu Beiming leaned weakly on the light pole, a little floating star flashed in his dark and constricted gaze, and under the chaotic breath, his stomach and heart became weak and weak, and the surging blood qi was about to burst out. He began to run hard in the opposite direction.

Exhausted, he finally stopped his weak legs out of breath while silently watching the emaciated Tae-hee rush onto the highway bus like a madman. When the car drove away from him, the girl's side face slowly disappeared, and Gu Beiming couldn't help crying. He endured the pain in his heart and looked blankly at her back, which was gradually blurred by the rain. At that moment, he finally realized that Tae-hee, who was not recognized by the Gu family, was really just an unrealistic dream, and after waking up, even if he had obtained all the wealth and fame, he still could not satisfy her only desire. And the loss of her life has never been a paradise for the defenders for him, but a real purgatory on earth.

"Ah!!" At the moment when his torn-like colic heart suddenly shook, Gu Beiming burst into tears and was planted in the transparent puddle that was not bare feet.

He punched and smashed into the icy rain, his hands dripping with reddish blood that was about to melt into cotton wool.

The dim glow of the streetlights danced and flickered on his flaxen hair, and the sticky hair was wrapped around his slender neck. Streams of rain and tears poured down from his dark black pupils.

On the heart-wrenching night, Gu Beiming stared blankly at the transparent figure of Tae-hee slowly patched together in the transparent air, and his thin purple lips slowly hooked a bleak smile. Gu Beiming slowly stretched out his twitching and cold fingertips, he wanted to touch her warm face again, of course, he knew that the moment the bubble broke, he would once again return to the nightmarish cursed world of indifference.

Sticky raindrops dripped into his facial muscles, and the darkness in his eyes gradually replaced by a godless hollowness, and in the panic, his ears echoed again the words of his mother Wen Suli when he ridiculed him, and the same bloody rainy night, the strange woman (Zheng Shijing), and the disgusting words that his father who drank obscenely attached to his mother's ear.

The green tendons on the back of his hand jumped up suddenly. Frozen time once again flooded his stomach cavity.

In a state of astonishment, his arrogant lips gradually covered with a layer of moist glow. And the sharp pain in the bottom of the heart is slowly transformed into the deepest gloom that is fixed on the lips of the last wry smile. At that moment, Wei Xuan's hesitation and confusion on the skyline slowly converged into the darkest and deepest light in his eyes.

He hated President Gu, as long as it was everyone who had Gu's blood flowing in his body, or someone who had been related to Gu's, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Even Beichen, who had just chosen to be relieved, would hate him from time to time.

With a hatred that could make the blood boiling all over his body freeze instantly, he swept back to the bar where he had just dined like a black whirlwind.
