Chapter 218: The Past That Can't Be Returned
Where can she go?
Looking out the window, except for the light of the street lamps, the whole road is immersed in the silence of the night.
With the delicate velvet box in hand, she closed her eyes and drove the car to the waterfront bay.
Her car was registered, and she drove into the park and slowly stopped in front of a delicate villa.
The lights were on in the house.
Song Nanqiao picked up the velvet box, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Ding Dong~"
She rang the doorbell, "Teacher, it's me." β
After a while, the door was opened, and it was Luo Ying who opened the door himself.
She lives alone, maybe because of her indifferent temperament, the previous maids and aunts at home have also been dismissed, and she is the only one left, doing everything herself.
Except for Song Nanqiao and Zuo Lin who occasionally came to accompany her, she was at ease.
The garden is planted with clusters of red flowers, and the flowers are gorgeous.
At first glance, it has been carefully cared for, the petals are delicate, and the branches are also trimmed beautifully.
As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can smell the delicate fragrance of flowers.
"It's so late, why are you here?"
Luo Ying looked at Song Nanqiao, but still turned sideways and let her into the house.
The decoration of the house is simple and atmospheric, the tables and chairs are wooden, and the best sandalwood is used, which has a bit of retro taste.
Song Nanqiao sat down on the sofa without seeing anything, and put the velvet box in his hand on the coffee table.
"Teacher, you should still take it. β
Looking at the familiar packaging, a figure gradually appeared in Luo Ying's heart.
Her eyes flickered for a moment, but they quickly retreated.
"I said it, I won't take it, and you shouldn't take it, Li You and I are already in the past, and it makes no sense to bring this thing now. β
Luo Ying's attitude is resolute, and it is also rare to be tough.
Song Nanqiao frowned, "This ring is called 'Pick up the memory', it was carefully designed by him for you, the meaning of it, you should know better than me, aside from the rest, at least he put a lot of effort into designing the ring, teacher, don't accept it in vain, he left without a word, this is the interest he paid for the original decision." β
She didn't understand that Luo Ying had not been easy over the years.
Li You chose to leave when she was in difficulty, and what happened later, how much damage was caused to her, these things cannot be erased by time.
The hatred of Li You from the beginning to the silence later, after so many years, those scars are always there.
"I don't need this so-called 'interest', Nan Qiao, I can't forgive him, and I don't want to accept anything he gifted, put it in front of me, I just feel uncomfortable, you take it, give it back to him, tell him not to disturb my life in the future, since he chose to leave at that time, there shouldn't be any entanglement between us a long time ago. β
Luo Ying said, a pair of beautiful eyes flashed with thousands of complicated emotions.
Song Nanqiao couldn't help but sigh, his eyes were compassionate, looking at the teacher's solemn expression, the blood in his heart was hot.
"But teacher, that's not what you think in your heart. β
They are masters and apprentices, and after knowing each other for so many years, they naturally know Luo Ying very well, just as Luo Ying also knows her.
Despite what she said, Song Nanqiao knew that she still hadn't thought it through.
She never let go.
"Maybe, what if this is the case, so many years of pain, can it be made up for by the 'memories' he designed himself?"
Luo Ying smiled bitterly, the corners of his eyes couldn't hide the moistness, "My feelings, in his opinion, are really so cheap, if this is just the compensation he wants to give me, I don't accept it, he can't help but look down on me too much, he was resolute at the beginning, and now he wants to make amends, it's too late, no matter what his purpose is, between us, there is no future." β
"I don't think so. β
Song Nanqiao pondered and spoke, his gaze wandered to Luo Ying's face, "I said this, not to excuse Li You, of course I understand what kind of person he is, when he left us behind, it was when you were the most difficult, not only that, but also involved with other women, but since he remembered the promise he made to you, he designed 'Pick up Memories' to give it to you, no matter what kind of heart he had, at least, he may not be completely unreminiscent of the old feelings." β
She looked at Luo Ying cautiously, a little hesitant whether she should say the rest of the words.
"Maybe ......"
"Needless to say, Nan Qiao. β
Luo Ying interrupted her, raised her hand, and wiped the corners of her eyes.
"For me, the hardest time is to wait for an uncertain person, in the first half of my life, I used happiness as a bet, and I lost the bet, so in the second half of my life, I don't want to gamble again, Nan Qiao, sometimes let go, not because of reluctance, but because its deadline has arrived, willful enough, more mature, and naturally understand, this page should be turned over. β
Her eyes returned to their usual strength and determination.
Song Nanqiao understood what the teacher meant, why was he not among them, and he was in deep trouble.
But she was far from being able to do it, as free and easy as a teacher, obediently closed her mouth and stopped talking.
She actually hates Li You, but at the same time, she also has regrets.
Why, people who should have walked together and grown old together have become what they are now.
Watching them change from affection to strangers, her heart was also uncomfortable.
Maybe she is naΓ―ve, if there is a one percent possibility, even if there is only a one percent possibility, time can be reversed, she still hopes that Luo Ying and Li You can be happy together.
"It's not too early, teacher. β
She stood up and glanced at the clock beside her, "You can rest well, I won't bother you." β
"Are you going back so late?"
"Hmm!"
She knew that when the teacher saw Li You today, she needed time to digest it slowly.
She didn't want to bother her.
"Take it away. β
Luo Ying stopped Song Nanqiao, who was walking out, her eyes fell on the black velvet box on the table, and her beautiful eyes swelled with a little reluctance and determination.
Song Nanqiao smiled and didn't turn around, "Teacher, if you really want to reject Li You, this should be handed over to him by you personally, this is a matter between the two of you, isn't it?"
The robbery between Luo Ying and Li You, the fruits planted, should be unraveled by themselves.
The door was gently shut.
In the cold and silent villa, only Luo Ying was left.
The night is deep, and the sky outside the window can't be opened.
Luo Ying sat down on the sofa, picked up the velvet box on the table, and opened it gently.
'Memory' shimmers in the light.
She reached out and ran her fingertips over the English name engraved on the ring, which he had given her 'Ruby', meaning 'red gem'.
The eyes were sour, and thousands of emotions poured out.
She endured it, and finally turned into a soft sigh.
This night, for her, was destined to be a sleepless night.
