11. Say goodbye to the past
When the two returned home, Hua Ruoquan helped her carry the bag into the kitchen, and Chang Xing went to change into home clothes first. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she collapsed and sat on the bed. Since leaving the restaurant, her heart seems to float in mid-air, and she has not settled down along the way.
The suddenness of the incident made her feel a little unreal.
It was as if she had been expecting something that she thought was out of reach would one day fall unprepared in front of her, and the suspicion that she thought it was a dream suddenly became a reality, and she didn't know whether she was more nervous or happy.
Two sentences kept echoing in my head.
Let's go together.
She's my girlfriend.
Girlfriend...... Seeing Ah Quan say this word so naturally, it is not a childhood sweetheart's friend, but a girlfriend, the identity closest to him, every time he thinks of this, Chang Xing's head will heat up slightly.
Chang Xing involuntarily reached out to her face and pinched it, and the pain made her come back to her senses slightly.
Exhaled lightly, and was about to take the teacup on the table to drink saliva to calm down, when he heard a shallow knock at the door of the bedroom, Chang Xing turned around, only to see Hua Ruoquan leaning on the door, the back of one hand lightly buckled on the door, the cold handsome face now looked at her with a slight smile, and asked, "Do you need help?"
The calm black eyes made Chang Xing's heart beat faster, she shook her head busily, quickly took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "No need, I'll just come by myself." ”
The corners of Hua Ruoquan's mouth rose slightly, "I'm asking if you need my help to make dinner, you just sat there for a long time." ”
For a long time?
Chang Xing looked sideways at the wall clock, only to find that nearly twenty minutes had passed since she entered the bedroom, and she hadn't even changed her clothes, and she was still wearing a work suit, so she sat and thought about it for more than ten minutes?
I don't know how long Hua Ruoquan has been looking at her stunned appearance at the door, Chang Xing's face turned red, and he hurriedly got up and stood up, "I'll make dinner, you go to the living room to rest." ”
When he walked to the door, Hua Ruoquan still didn't move, and Chang Xing looked at Hua Ruoquan suspiciously.
Hua Ruoquan put down the hand that was clasped on the door, looked at Chang Xing's black and white eyes, and said, "Don't be busy yet, it seems that there are some things we have to talk about first." ”
Hearing that he was going to talk, Chang Xinggang's heart was a little relaxed.
"Good. Chang Xing responded, his hands on his sides, and his body was a little stiff.
The sudden change in the relationship is like a chemical reaction between two pure substances, and a new subtle sensation permeates the heart. People are still the same people, but they feel very different about each other.
Now she is even more nervous when she faces Hua Ruoquan alone than she was after she boldly had a relationship with him.
Looking at Chang Xing's appearance, Hua Ruoquan smiled lowly, he reached out and rubbed Chang Xing's head, and said, "You don't have a trained expression, I'm not an instructor and I'm not your stinky boss." ”
Probably wanting Chang Xing to relax his nervousness, Hua Ruoquan walked to the windowsill facing a grove in Chang Xing's room and motioned for the two to come here and chat.
Standing in front of the open window, you can see the sunset gradually sinking in the west, and the slight cool breeze blowing on your cheeks makes people feel a lot clearer.
"Do you have anything to ask me?"
Chang Xing looked up stupidly and looked at Hua Ruoquan inexplicably, "Didn't you ask me something?"
Hua Ruoquan shook his head with a faint smile and said, "You think about what you want to ask me first." ”
The inky black eyes are deep and calm, there is no sense of oppression, but it makes people have an illusion that they cannot escape. Hua Ruoquan didn't urge, just waited quietly.
Chang Xing half-lowered his eyelids, trying to settle the wandering thoughts. While thinking, Chang Xing unconsciously picked up a small purple sand flower pot on the cabinet next to the windowsill.
The flower pot is only half the size of a palm, and it is delicate and small. What is special is that the pot is not planted with flowers, but filled with fine white sand, and half a white gold ring is embedded in the middle of the white sand.
The thin ring is clearly a women's style, topped with three tiny diamonds that shine brightly in the setting sun.
Chang Xing looked down at the ring in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Ah Quan, did you really decide to be with me?...... I mean like boyfriend and girlfriend dating?"
Hua Ruoquan raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically, "So what do you think is the relationship between us in the past month?"
Gently rotating the purple sand flower pot, Chang Xing pursed his lips, and only whispered after a while: "I thought you were just talking that day, and you didn't take it seriously." ”
After all, the way the two get along has hardly changed much, and the way she remembers Hua Ruoquan treats his girlfriend is different, and there is a reason why she is not confident.
And......
That day, the brain fever did something that even she couldn't believe, and the courage receded, and all that was left was guilt and self-contempt. Ah Quan still has that "Yan" in his heart, he has never found a girlfriend in the past few years, and she doesn't know if he is still waiting for "Yan".
Hua Ruoquan stared at Chang Xing, and after a moment, his gaze drooped and moved to the flower pot in Chang Xing's hand. Without the slightest warning, Hua Ruoquan reached out and took the flower pot in Chang Xing's hand, pulled out the ring inside, held it in the palm of his hand, and then threw it hard, far away to the grove three floors down.
Chang Xing was taken aback and wanted to stop it. Forgetting the danger, she stretched out her arms to grab the ring that had been thrown out, and most of her body hung in the air outside the windowsill, crumbling. At the thrilling moment, Hua Ruoquan reached out in time to hug her waist and pull her back.
His cold face was full of anger, and Hua Ruoquan shouted at Chang Xing: "What are you doing? You almost fell downstairs, you know?"
Chang Xing anxiously stared at the slowly falling ring, unable to do anything but watch the ring flash its last light in the setting sun, and then disappeared into the dense woods.
Looking at Hua Ruoquan in astonishment, Chang Xing asked, "Ah Quan, why did you throw the ring?"
Thinking of Chang Xing Fangcai's dangerous move, Hua Ruoquan still had palpitations, he closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, calmed his emotions, and for a while, he said in a flat tone. "Something that was meant to be thrown away. ”
"That's your ring. ”
Chang Xing's tone was anxious, as if it was not just an ordinary ring, but the most important thing in Hua Ruoquan's life.
Slowly opening his eyes, Hua Ruoquan turned around, staring at Chang Xing's eyes with clear black eyes, and said clearly word by word: "It's just a meaningless ring." Thankfully, the relationship you helped me keep is over, and this time, we're starting in earnest. ”
Chang Xing's eyes were originally wide open because of astonishment, but after hearing Hua Ruoquan's words, her eyes slowly moistened.
That ring was when Hua Ruoquan was in college, she was called by Fang Daolin and them to accompany Hua Ruoquan, and she saw it by chance in Hua Ruoquan's paper basket.
She didn't ask Hua Ruoquan about the origin of the ring, and she didn't know who he was going to give the ring to in the first place. She just picked it up for him, smiled at him and said, keep it for him.
will be sad and heartbroken, she has never seen Hua Ruoquan so decadent and depressed because of anyone, but she still quietly accompanies Hua Ruoquan.
There is nothing wrong with the ring, it may just be the wrong mind of the person who bought it and the person who gave it.
She didn't think that Hua Ruoquan would take back this ring in the future or forget it forever, she just wanted to say that she would help him keep the ring, and also help him keep the relationship that he had valued so much, until the day when he could really face it.
