Chapter 80: Speechless
When I opened my eyes, I saw a dark night outside the window, bottomless, only a few stars embedded in the endless night sky, covered in the bright bridge lights competing for the intersection of the road, the noisy and bustling downtown has since become calm and peaceful, the endless stream of vehicles gradually dissipated at the end of the road, leaving only the vehicles carrying the hard work of the day's people home slowly passing by, as slow as the nostalgic slow motion shot by the director Wong Kar-wai. He Bijun familiarly turned on the dim room lamp with her hand, copied the alarm clock on the bedside table, and sure enough, it was still there, she glanced at it, three o'clock in the morning.
It's a lonely time to wake up, the time for revelry and indulgence has passed, the dawn of the day is just around the corner, trying to fall asleep, but not sleeping, waiting for the sun to rise, and it has not yet arrived. She casually caught a glimpse of a piece of stationery on the bedside table, on which a few words were recorded, and she twisted it up to read, "I'm leaving, there is cooked porridge in the kitchen, remember to eat it when you wake up." Just close the door when you leave. β
She stood up suddenly, only to find that she was wearing Shen Lingfeng's white shirt, once upon a time, she loved to wear his white shirt the most, because whenever this time, he said that she was the sexiest and sultry. She seemed to touch the snow white on her body as if she had lost it, reluctant to leave, and her heart was in tears, which were tears of hope left behind by the blazing fire in her heart after regret.
In this room haunting the memories of the two, she chewed on the porridge that Shen Lingfeng boiled for her, sure enough, Shen Lingfeng only became caring and considerate when he met her, tender like water, she was very confident in this, he still felt sorry for her and cared about her, and never changed, as long as she turned back and begged for his forgiveness, hugged him tightly and cried about her thoughts and repented of her vacillation and stubbornness, if she didn't work once, she would make persistent efforts, and if she didn't work twice, she would do it three or four times, she firmly believed that she would be able to move Ling Feng's wounded heart, and nothing could make her give up Shen Lingfeng again, it was the dead knot she tied to Shen Lingfeng's heart that only she could untie, please let me atone for my sins, she was shoutingI don't want to let go of his hand anymore.
The midnight breeze whispered to the ears of the night sky, and when passing through the window lattice, the wind chimes hanging by the window were gently blown, and the wind chimes played a pleasant movement, composing two heart-shaped notes that jumped and danced in front of He Bijun's eyes, whispering in her ears around and rotating, awakening the memories that had been sealed in the depths of her heart for a long time.
At four o'clock in the morning, the streets outside the window were almost silent, leaving for the whirring sound of cars passing by the wind.
She sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, leaning against the wall and staring at the dangling and rickety wind chimes in deep thought, hoping to be awakened by the evening breeze to wake her trance-like thoughts. Shen Lingfeng's gentle whispers in the past seemed to still hover in her ears, and he would pampering her waist behind his back to express his tenderness and sweetness, "I want to hug you every morning when I wake up, and look at the wind chimes by the window with you." β
"I can't afford to lose him. She muttered to herself in annoyance and pain: "He is still by my side, obviously in front of my eyes, no matter how long I have lost contact, as long as I see him, my heart will vibrate faintly painfully, because of him, my heart from a bleak backwater of a lake is as active as a magnificent sea, it is he who makes my heart come alive, it turns out that I still love him so much." Why is it that it has been more than two years for me to fully understand my heart, will it be too late to beg to return to him at this time, will it be too ridiculous, will he be able to accept me again?" she wiped the tears under her eyes with her hands, unconsciously stroked her burning chest, and the pupils of her eyes burned with longing, "But no matter what, I can't watch him being snatched away by another woman, he should belong to me! I must not sit still, no matter what I do, I have to save Ling Feng's heart, I want him to know that only I am the most suitable woman for him. β
The next night, Shen Lingfeng had dinner with Cheng Siyu and sat in Jack's newly opened restaurant, and it was Cheng Siyu who pulled Shen Lingfeng over, although he was reluctant.
The two of them are fiddling with knives and forks to cut the steak, the seven-ripe steak is crispy and crispy, mouth-watering, Cheng Siyu is a little reckless and childish about the food, Shen Lingfeng looked at her other side that was different from the usual quiet, I don't know if it was ridiculous or angry: "You are so unreserved when you see the food, like a wolf and a tiger." β
"What are you talking about," Cheng Siyu said with a pretended anger: "Do you think that everyone has to put on a cold and handsome appearance like you all the time, even when you see delicious things, your face is expressionless, and you have to maintain the so-called noble image, it's really boring!"
"I'm used to seeing big scenes, how can you understand a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world. Do you want me to act like a little boy and go along with you, so that you like it?" Shen Lingfeng said disapprerovingly.
"You will suppress me, no one around me treats me like you, obviously such an excellent girl sits in front of you, why don't you know how to praise a few words?" Cheng Siyu pouted and glanced at him a few times.
The corners of Shen Lingfeng's mouth rose slightly, raised his head and looked at her teasingly, and quipped: "Why did you go to Shanghai for a few days and come back from the whole person become more confident? Miss Cheng is a little floating, it seems that her performance at work is really good." β
"It's not just work, haven't you been afraid that I might be chased away, and the little girl you feel at ease may be a treasure in someone else's heart?" Cheng Siyu retorted unconvinced, wanting to arouse Shen Lingfeng's sense of crisis.
"Hahahaha. Shen Lingfeng smiled even more happily.
"I'm serious. Cheng Siyu's little temper flare-up, and said solemnly.
Shen Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, suddenly stopped the knife and fork in his hand and sat upright, staring at Cheng Siyu expressionlessly, his eyes were a little cold, a little sharp, and his voice was undulating without tone: "What do you mean." β
She swallowed, looked straight at him and responded, "I don't mean anything, I just want you to care about me and be nervous about me." β
He breathed a sigh of relief, softened his expression, and said in a childlike tone: "Why don't I care about you, it's just that people with my pattern have long been accustomed to putting their feelings at ease, and they don't like to pursue the surface of everything, and they disdain it." It's my style, you should get used to it. β
"But I also want to be like other girls, and I can feel the strong love of my boyfriend. She said tentatively.
"Didn't I buy you flowers too, and show you the sea." Shen Lingfeng replied.
"That's what you did after you me off, and you won't have that mind after a while. Cheng Siyu complained.
Shen Lingfeng felt impatient, and said perfunctorily: "I'll try to improve in the future, okay, let's not quarrel over these little things when we meet rarely." β
Cheng Siyu was silent.
At this time, Jack came over, gave several instructions to the attendants, strategized, and pointed out the rivers and mountains. After being busy, he finally took the time to say a few words to Cheng Siyu: "How is the steak here?"
She gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "First-class great!" He turned his face to Shen Lingfeng and said, "What do you think of this gentleman?" "But it's not lost, the meat is still a little harder. Shen Lingfeng frowned slightly.
Cheng Siyu glanced at Shen Lingfeng embarrassedly, and hurriedly added: "He's like this, he always doesn't spare people, don't pay attention to him hahaha." "I'm just being realistic. Shen Lingfeng glared at her disdainfully.
"It doesn't matter, our restaurant is open to all criticism and improvements. Thank you for your suggestion, please eat slowly. Jack smiled and walked to Cheng Siyu's next door and patted her on the shoulder and said, "I can't say hello, I'm busy first." β
Shen Lingfeng stared at Jack's hand that had just been lowered from Cheng Siyu's shoulder, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
She lowered her head casually and continued to eat the steak on her plate, eating with relish.
"I don't think you're eating steak, you're eating mind. Shen Lingfeng's tone was a little sour.
"Why do you sound weird?" she asked, puzzled.
"It's fine. Shen Lingfeng didn't intend to explain.
After a while, plates of snacks and desserts, imported Belgian chocolates and HΓ€agen-Dazs ice cream were served to the table one after another, and the two were very surprised, because it was clear that these dazzling delicacies were not on the menu, Cheng Siyu asked the waiter in confusion: "Are you mistaken? We didn't place an order for these things." β
"The boss ordered us to bring it to him, saying that he wanted to give it to his good friend as a thank you. The waiter replied.
Shen Lingfeng suddenly felt angry, and the indescribable anger churned and boiled in his chest, until it surged up to his throat and was about to explode at any time, but the experience and reason accumulated over the years of hard work in the workplace suppressed his behavior, so that he was only mentally beating this oily-haired and annoying Jack in his eyes.
Cheng Siyu didn't seem to notice his mistake, and still tasted a beautiful dish on the table with a smile on his face, while happily urging Shen Lingfeng to join in the happiness that originally belonged only to the two of them.
Shen Lingfeng was silent the whole time, and he didn't touch the slightly ironic scene on the table.
Jack was looking at Cheng Siyu from a distance at the entrance of the hall, and smiled crookedly with an evil smile on his mouth. Cheng Siyu waved to him warmly to greet him.
Shen Lingfeng turned his head to look back, smiled coldly, and slammed the napkin on the table.
"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Siyu felt panicked and surprised.
"Are you really stupid or fake ignorance!" Shen Lingfeng tried his best to suppress his voice, and said in a low voice, he didn't want to be angry in public.
"You are inexplicable, what did I do wrong?" Cheng Siyu also felt aggrieved and said angrily.
"Huh. He couldn't stop gasping and wiped his forehead with a sneer.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Jack walked slowly in front of the two of them with a red wine, and said to them in a graceful manner: "This red wine is a gift from me to you, I hope that the relationship between the two of you will get better and better for a long time." Then he walked next to Shen Lingfeng and put his arm on Shen Lingfeng's shoulder and said, "Mr. Shen, you have to be kind to Siyu, she is a good girl." β
Unexpectedly, she had no idea that Jack would say such a thing, and she stared at him dumbfounded, unprepared by the breathtaking scene at hand.
Shen Lingfeng felt that his man's dignity and bottom line were provoked again and again, he stared at Jack viciously, and spit out coldly: "If you don't let go, I will punch you to death." β
Cheng Siyu looked at the two of them in horror, unable to say a word in his mouth, and even his teeth were trembling.
Jack was stunned for a moment, silently let go of his hand, and his face was ugly.
Shen Lingfeng stood up excitedly, opened his purse and threw a stack of shiny Taiwan dollars on the dining table, and walked to the gate without looking back, disappearing into the corner of the door as Chopin's parting song was played in the hall.
Before she could apologize to Jack, she chased after her outside the door without saying a word, and it took a lot of effort to catch up with Shen Lingfeng's pace, and immediately took his hand and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"
He shook off Cheng Siyu's hand fiercely, and asked her angrily: "Don't tell me that you didn't see that this Jack wants to chase you?"
She explained in confusion: "This is all in the past, I have already made it clear to him, and now it is just an ordinary friend and work relationship." β
"Ordinary?" he sneered disdainfully, waving his hand in the air and swaying in the air, "A fool can see that it's not ordinary." If it weren't for the attempt, he would have been so kind to you, and he would have introduced you to work for no reason? What kind of hospitality did he give for no reason, what kind of big boss did he pretend to be? What did he do when he gave us so many snacks in the restaurant? What did he want to do with red wine? Do you want to demonstrate in front of me!"
"Ling Feng, why do you insist that others are plotting against each other, maybe it's just expressing their hearts between friends, I went to support him, and he also gave me face to thank me, that's all, why do you want to impose your own ideas on others, and think about human nature so complicated, maybe those things are nothing in his mind, just a few dishes and a glass of red wine, why do you take it to heart?" Cheng Siyu grabbed his hand and said.
"Then you mean, I'm stingy, I value those insignificant little benefits and small profits, it's because I don't have enough pattern to desecrate your friendship, right?" Shen Lingfeng felt like a fish in his throat the more he spoke, and his heart was uncomfortable.
"You know I didn't mean that. She tried to explain, but found that the more she said, the more wrong she became, and she went crazy with nowhere to vent.
"I used to think that you were different from other women, very pure and simple, but now I think that you enjoy this feeling of being loved and chased, is it because I can't give you this sense of vanity? Shen Lingfeng said.
"I didn't, how can you say that? Just because of this, you just look at me like this, I didn't know beforehand, I didn't think that he would be like this, you blamed me for not being too unfair to me. Cheng Siyu buried his head in Shen Lingfeng's chest and said aggrievedly.
He gently pushed her away and said, "But you didn't refuse, didn't you, you must have mentioned me to him, otherwise how would he let me be nice to you." Am I so bad for you?"
"Iβ" She felt speechless, as if she couldn't wash herself by jumping into the Yellow River, and at this moment she resented Jack. "I didn't think he would say such a thing, I, I can assure you that I am just friends with him. β
Shen Lingfeng bowed his head and was silent, and only after a long time did he spit out a sentence: "I'll send you home." β
Coincidentally, just in time for Jack to chase him out. βALLY.. Are you alright?" When Shen Lingfeng saw this situation, he was even more furious, and wanted to rush over and punch that underwhelmed face, but Cheng Siyu immediately stopped him and shouted: "Ling Feng, don't be impulsive!" He looked at her in disbelief and said, "Until now, you still have to help him!" His face sank, turned around and brushed his sleeves away, and Cheng Siyu turned deaf to how he shouted behind him.
