Chapter 53
In the year since I left, I have been living well, and I am still smiling when I walk in a hurry this year, as if you are all there.
Xiao Li stood on the overpass, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face, and a voice sounded behind him, "Xiao Li, wait a minute, let's go, I bought your favorite sugar packet." β
"Okay, let's go home. β
Stretched out his hand, held by a white hand, the two looked at each other and smiled, their backs relaxed and warm.
The setting sun stretches her back, reflecting the scenes of a year ago.
Xing Mo's matter was not suppressed, the spread of online media was far faster than that of physical newspapers, Xiaoli didn't have time to prepare for everything, public relations, blocking, withdrawing news, holding press conferences, all of this was out of control before it started, looking at the pictures published on the Internet, Aunt Xing's pale face, Ozawa Xiaoya's panicked teary eyes, her heart was stinged again.
The old news was broken by Wang Fei and Sun Zihan, because Chen Yan's suppression and blockade ruined everything for them, and the two secretly found out Xing Mo's hometown, and the real address was because of Xiaoli's whereabouts when he returned to Qingmei Town this time, and they were targeted, and all of this was actually unnoticed, there is no leaky wall in the world, Xing Mo's father's accident is not difficult to find out, and about her being sexually assaulted, I don't know who I heard about it.
Xing Mo fainted and lay on the hospital bed, her face was pale and almost transparent, Cheng Zimu protected Aunt Xing and Ozawa Xiaoya almost overnight, but the damage had been done, in the face of the media hype, in the face of the news that Xing Mo exchanged β‘β‘ for resources, Aunt Xing almost collapsed, and kept complaining that she didn't keep her at the beginning, hurt her, Xing Mo didn't want to see anyone, locked up in the ward alone, didn't cry or make trouble, just like that, lay there quietly, took off her delicate makeup, and was as good as ever, as if she had returned to the beginning, she was still that simple and quiet town girl, but everyone knew that her heart was no longer clean and full of holesγγ
Chen Yan did not appear until three days later, Xing Mo's news was inexplicably withdrawn, without a trace, and was quickly suppressed by the derailment news of another first-line star, and then he sent a letter, when Xing Mo opened the letter, his fingers trembled, and for the first time, in front of everyone, he shed tears.
Crying and crying, I laughed, Chen Yan, it turned out that I didn't know until you left that I was already in love with you, you have been behind me for so many years, why, I didn't love you once earlier, why, I cruelly ignored you, why, I never got your wish.
Xiaoli stood outside the gate of Chen's house holding the wedding card in her hand, she was not strange, she was not angry, she just felt sad, the door was opened, and Grandpa Chen appeared at the door.
"Xiao Li, let's go, three days later, attend Xiao Yan's wedding on time. βγ
"It's the news that you suppressed Momo, right, Grandpa Chen, thank you. β
"This is what I promised Xiao Yan, and it is worth exchanging my old face for a happy life for my grandson's life. β
"Happiness, will he be happy if he marries someone he has known for less than three days?".
"Xiaoli, I don't want to hear about this topic. βγ
"Grandpa Chen, you and Grandpa Cheng are both old leaders of the army, you have been loyal and patriotic all your life, in the eyes of our group of juniors, you are a bright beacon, the embodiment of justice, and you are enlightened and hearty, but everything you have done today makes me feel that you are not an upright person, you are a cruel elder, I will no longer worship you, I will no longer feel that your smile is kind, maybe you don't care, but I am really sad and disappointed. βγ
"Xiaoli, you don't understand my mind just as I don't understand the love of your young people, but, the ending has been decided, you have no right to decide anything, I'm just doing what I think is right, there's no need to explain to you, you go, wedding, you can come if you want, if you don't come, I won't force you. βγ
"Why don't you go? I have been in a relationship with Chen Yan for many years, he treats me like a sister, of course I want to accompany him when he is most painful, watch how he greets him with a smiling face, and by the way, see how pure and noble the granddaughter-in-law in your mind is. β
Xiao Li turned around, and suddenly burst into laughter, the laughter penetrated the entire military compound, she looked back at the figure behind the window on the second floor, "Chen Yan, you are a wreck, you always say that my self-righteous efforts are ridiculous, and now you are thousands of times more ridiculous than me, do you remember what you said, do you remember?"
The figure behind the window trembled, the curtains were tightened, and he could no longer be seen, Xiao Li looked back and smiled, " Grandpa Chen, have you ever seen Xing Mo, at that time, she was not called Xing Ran, she was not a famous star in Beijing, we all called her Momo, she had the purest smile in the world, she had sweet dimples when she smiled, her eyes could speak, she was just a carefree town girl, she was more beautiful than anyone in the world, but such a beautiful girl, you will never see it again, please believe me, you will regret it, there will be one day, you will regret it, you will completely lose Chen Yan. βγ
Yes, everyone will regret it, Chen Yan also thought so, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.
Xu Ying stood outside Xing Mo's ward, she didn't go in for a long time, she suddenly began to be scared, she began to feel sad, such Xing Mo is distressing, about her condition, except for Chen Yan, everyone now knows that she hates herself, why can't she endure it anymore, why, she will hurt her to this point.
The phone rang, and Cheng Zimu's voice came through the microphone, low and cold, "I'm waiting for you in Huangji Haidilao." β
"Remember here?" Cheng Zimu sat there, took off his glasses, his eyes swept over the large private room, and his voice was low.
"I remember that when Xing Mo entered Beijing for the first time, we ate hot pot here, and at that time, Chen Yan began to flirt with others. Xu Ying smiled lightly, and the past seemed to be in front of him.
"Why?".
Xu Ying's face froze, "What?"
"Shadow, why you. Cheng Zimu looked up and stared at her closely.
"You know it's me?".
"Grandpa told me today that the day Chen Yan got married was the time of our engagement, heh, our brothers have been together for so many years, and happy events have been done together, which is really fucking lively. βγ
"I did it, except for Xing Mo's wine deal, everything else was revealed by me, my purpose is to get engaged to you as soon as possible, this is my deal with Grandpa Chen, I ruined Xing Mo's reputation, and completely cut off her and Chen Yan's back road, he promised me that I could let Grandpa Cheng agree to our engagement immediately, I can't wait, I want you to belong to me, the sooner the better." Xu Ying did not shy away from meeting Cheng Zimu's eyes.
"So I asked, why? Why do you do this, I promise you that I will not go back, I declare in front of everyone that I will be engaged to you, a month, a month you can't wait, choose to hurt our friends to achieve your ends?".
"I can't wait, a month is too long, a day is too long, Amu, I have been waiting for you for eight years, since the year you returned to Beijing, I like you, I put down my pride, my identity to accept your childhood sweetheart, accept Xiaoli, I watch you treat her as a baby one by one, I watch you love her, give up your dignity for her, give up your unconditional dedication for her, you broke up at the beginning, I thought I had a chance, I gave up my studies and hobbies, just to be closer to you, I was doing a job I didn't love in the Lu Academy, I entered the army with you, suffered hardships, you were blind and injured, you waited at the door day and night for Xiaoli to take a look, You hid in her room and cried, I have been enduring the sadness behind me silently guarding you, taking care of you, I thought that one day, you would see me and fall in love with me, but I waited for so many years, I still can't get your heart, you changed jobs and came back, I gave up my job and went to France alone to study, but also to come back to help you, I finally waited for your marriage contract, but you and Xiaoli are still reunited, you still love her so deeply, she is trapped, you are crazy, you climb more than 20 floors of windows for her with your bare hands, you hold her, you look at her eyes, do you know how heartbroken I am, she was bullied, you have been crazy enough to kill someone, only she can comfort you, What am I, you fought with her brother for more than ten years, Amu, for so many years, do you know how I am step by step, in your love, humble life, fear of self-deception, until that day Chen Yan said to me, he said that I am finally going to be engaged to you, but he can't see that I have a trace of happiness, how can I have any happiness, all my resources are used to chase you, love you, wait for you, I have no happiness for a long time, all the strength I have left, just leave you by my side. If you had loved me a little and given me a little warmth, I wouldn't have come to where I am today!"
Cheng Zimu was silent, he looked at the woman in front of him, from his young years to now, she is a girl who has always been behind him except for Xiaoli, her love he knows, so many years, he never bears to say anything, how can he not understand, but, love, not moved, until now, he chose her, although with selfish thoughts, he is still hesitating, he is full of guilt, but he can't say it, but he didn't expect that now, everything has long been unable to change.
The door was pushed open, Xiao Li stood at the door, his eyes were empty, Cheng Zimu's heart tightened, and he subconsciously opened his feet, but he paused in an instant, because he heard her voice, just like the day of parting, plain, but with the pain of brokenness.
"Xu Ying, that afternoon, I said that I would bless you, it was sincere, I said that it was impossible for me and Cheng Zimu to be possible, it was also true, why can't you wait any longer, you have waited for eight years, you are very painful, but, you are in pain, why do you want to hurt my Momo, she is so innocent, so pitiful, how can you bear it?"
"Xiaoli, I'm sorry ,,,".
"You don't need to apologize to me, remember the first time we had dinner here many years ago, do you remember Momo's smiling face at that time, if you remember, then go and apologize to her, I hope one day, you won't regret it." β
"Finally, I wish you all a happy engagement!".
"Shadow, you know that you are engaged for a mission, and you shouldn't be like this. β
"I don't know, I just know that I love you, I finally waited for this opportunity to get close to you, even if you are for the task, even if I will pay any price for it, even if,, it is to protect Xiaoli, I don't care, as long as I can be with you, I can wear a wedding dress for you, and I can card you to bring a ring for me, I am enough. β
"It's not worth it, it's not worth it, you're like this, you're going to hurt yourself, I'll leave one day, here, it's not mine. β
Beijing is a city that never sleeps, the lights are dim, Xiaoli stands at the corner of the street, looking at the crowd coming and going, everyone is in a hurry, occasionally meet, meet, look at each other indifferently, and then pass by, maybe everyone has a story behind them, but no one can see through what is hidden in other people's hearts.
Eight years, this city, carrying all the joys and sorrows of their group of people, Qingmei Town has slowly blurred in the memory, the mind is full of glitz and hustle and bustle here, they grew up here, from immature teenagers to now, business elites, realize dreams, hurried years, in addition to the memory that is full of blood and despair, let go of the past, slowly regained the original smile, but, the reality is always so desolate, one blow after another, shattered their already fragile hearts, the prosperity of the night ended, from the starlight to the abyss, always in an instant, how to live well, no more sorrow, forever happyοΌγ
