055 Eventful Night (Part I)
When Luo Xi and Si Junxian were about to finish singing, Jiang Lingyun came back.
"Why did you go?" asked Cui Feifei, grabbing him.
"I was dizzy from singing and vomit......ed," Jiang Lingyun whispered.
"......" Cui Feifei didn't want to speak.
"Mr. Si, can I ask you to dance?" Duan Yuyuan, who had been drinking, stood up and stepped forward with a somewhat unsteady pace.
She ignored Luo Xi, who had just come off the stage, and walked straight towards Si Junxian.
"Yu Yuan, you've drunk too much. Si Jun supported Duan Yuyuan with envy.
He couldn't help him, otherwise Duan Yuyuan would pounce on him when he saw it.
The bitterness in Duan Yuyuan's heart seemed to permeate the tip of her tongue, and with the help of wine, she was much more bold than usual.
However, at this time, many people have drunk a lot of alcohol and don't feel anything out of the ordinary, after all, they just want to let go of some things and not do anything excessive.
"I didn't. Duan Yuyuan was coquettish.
When Luo Xi heard these words, he smiled secretly.
She had to admit that when she sang with Si Junxian just now, she was a little throbbing.
Sometimes that feeling doesn't need to be too strong, just a small detail is enough.
Si Junxian saw Luo Xi calmly walking back to the sofa and drinking wine with Ye Man, so he agreed to Duan Yuyuan's request.
No matter what, Duan Yuyuan has also helped him a lot over the years.
Si Junxian is very measured, even if Duan Yuyuan deliberately approaches, he can be invisibly avoided.
Duan Yuyuan looked at the man who was close at hand, but she could feel that the distance between the two was extremely far away.
The man she admires wholeheartedly, but she doesn't have the slightest affection for her.
"Mr. Si, over the years, I am very grateful for your cultivation, which has allowed me to learn a lot and grow very quickly. She muttered, her momentum weakening.
Si Jun lowered his eyes enviously, and her curled eyelashes could be seen from this angle.
"Why do you say that all of a sudden? You're already very good. Si Junxian said in a deep voice.
Duan Yuyuan slowly raised her head, her eyes were clear, and there seemed to be water waves.
She was trying to control herself and hold back her tears.
"But I don't think you need me anymore, so I want to leave. As if with great determination, she uttered these words.
In fact, before this, she was still wavering, and it was Si Junxian's performance just now that made her make a choice.
Besides, when Fang was at the top, Si Junxian also said to Zhan Yifeng that she was "condescending" when she stayed in Jiayu?
Even if it is a joke, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
After Si Junxian heard Duan Yuyuan's application to resign, he was silent for a moment, but he didn't stop.
"Have you figured it out?" he didn't keep.
Duan Yuyuan felt even more sad, she thought that the other party would at least say one sentence: "Jiayu still needs you." ”
In that case, she replied, "Well, I think about it." ”
"Okay, have a new plan?" asked Si Junxian.
"I haven't thought about it yet, so I can either go to further study or find another way. Duan Yuyuan pretended to be relaxed.
"It's not your style, I thought you'd find a way out first. Si Junxian said.
Duan Yuyuan's nose was sour, and she forced a smile: "For the sake of me being your secretary for so long, can I talk alone after the end?"
Si Junxian pondered for a moment and said "um".
"Thank you. Duan Yuyuan finally felt a little relieved, and she told herself that in fact, Mr. Si still cared about her a little.
"Between you and me, you don't have to be so polite. I'll ask HR to pay you an extra six months, which is a goodbye gift. "Si Junxian is a generous boss.
Duan Yuyuan had never been so heartwarmed, and smiled sincerely.
In the past two days, she vaguely learned from Si Mu that the old man was arranging a blind date for Si Junxian, and overheard Si Mu commenting on herself on the phone.
"Yu Yuan, she is good, but she can't enter the door of our company's house. chose her to be Junxian's secretary, that is, to prevent Junxian from being confused by those wild butterflies outside. It's just that it doesn't seem to be of much use now, and it's not as cheap as other women. ”
She stood outside the study, through a door, feeling like a joke.
It turns out that in the eyes of Mrs. Si, she is just a more advanced "wild butterfly", to put it nicely, the domestic one will be cleaner?
At that time, she had the idea of drawing a line with Mrs. Si.
Although she loves Si Junxian and has thought that she can have no reputation, she has worked hard and worked hard since she was a child, not to be despised like this!
The scene of Si Junxian and Duan Yuyuan whispering and chatting happened to let Luo Xi see it.
The man bows his head and bows his eyebrows, listens patiently, and the woman is gentle like water, deep and righteous, no matter how you look at it, it is a good match.
I don't know why, she suddenly lost her mind a little bit, or was it more appropriate to say that she was lost?
When I realized this, my heart became flustered.
"Vine, I'll go to the bathroom. Luo Xi pulled his hair.
"There's one in it. Ye Man pointed in the wrong direction drunkenly.
"I just saw someone go in. "Luo Xi just wants to go out and breathe.
"Oh. Shall I accompany you?" Ye Man's speech slowed down by half a beat.
"No, you can play with everyone and drink less. Luo Xi looked at the other people sitting in a circle and patted Ye Man's back.
Ye Man didn't insist any longer, and returned his attention to the game just now.
The corridor was full of people coming and going, most of them red-faced and smelling of alcohol.
Luo Xi felt more and more that the smell inside was unpleasant, and he couldn't wait to go outside and be blown by the cold wind.
She asked the waitress, who told her that there was a large terrace on the head with a night view of the city.
Luo Xi walked all the way, and there were fewer and fewer people.
As she passed through the safe passage, she suddenly heard a strange noise.
The door to the safe passage is closed, and the stairs are inside.
Luo Xi quietly approached, observing the source of the sound through the narrow glass on the door.
On the inside of the room, there is no light, and only a figure can be faintly seen in the corner.
She opened the door after making sure there was no one else.
With the sound of the door opening, the voice-activated lights in the stairwell come on.
The scantily clad girl leaned against the wall, sat on the ground with her arms crossed, buried her head between her curled legs, and her body trembled.
She stopped crying as soon as she heard someone come in.
"Are you okay?" Luo Xi saw that the girl looked pitiful, and took the initiative to ask.
The girl was indifferent, but her body stopped shaking.
Luo Xi felt that she was a little familiar, so he squatted down and looked down to see her face, but it was blocked tightly.
"Need help?" Luo Xi was a little worried when she saw that she was motionless.
"No, I don't. You go. The girl finally spoke, nasal and drunk.
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly shrank up, stiffened, and raised her head at the same time.
The next second, she turned her head to face the corner, covered her throat and vomited, spitting out a pile of filth.
Unpleasant smell of alcohol.
This was followed by a few more retching.
Luo Xi listened to it beside him, and he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't do it, as if he wanted to vomit out all his internal organs.
"Give. She took out a paper handkerchief, took out two and folded them, and handed them over.
The girl was now with her back to her, weak, but she refused to accept her kindness, and staggered to get out of here.
Only then did Luo Xi see the girl's appearance clearly from the reflection of the glass.
"Gu Zhen!" she grabbed the girl with an unsteady gait.
The makeup on Gu Zhen's face was spent, and she stubbornly wanted to shake off Luo Xi's hand, but she was very weak when she was drunk.
"You let go!" she suddenly turned back to face Luo Xi, her eyes full of hatred.
"It's okay for me to let go, but you promise me to leave immediately, and don't get close to Han Jingting and Lu Xingyun again!" Luo Xi ordered.
When Gu Zhen heard this, his hatred became stronger, and his tone became more resolute: "Who are you? Why are you talking to me like this? Why do you care about me?!"
"With me as your sister, with my surname as Gu!" Luo Xi felt sad when she saw Gu Zhen abuse herself like this, and she couldn't help but assume her role as the second lady of the Gu family in the past.
However, this sentence did not sober up Gu Zhen, but only intensified her hatred.
She raised her hand and gave Luo Xi a slap in the face in Luo Xi's defenseless state.
Because I couldn't use my strength, this blow was not heavy.
She yelled angrily at Luo Xi: "You are not worthy!"
Luo Xi pursed his lips, and then slowly spoke: "Yes, I know I'm not worthy." Then are you worthy of it now? Can your parents feel at ease when they see you like this in the spirit of heaven? Your eldest brother will come out in a few days and know that you have done this to himself, will he agree?!"
"Don't say it!" Gu Zhen covered his ears and whimpered again under Luo Xi's questioning.
Luo Xi saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
She said softly: "Gu Zhen, I'm sorry for the Gu family, but I couldn't help it at that time. You have been pampered by your parents like a little princess since you were a child, and you shouldn't be like this. I know what you want to do, you want revenge, you want to get justice for the Gu family. But let me do these things, okay?"
Gu Zhen, who was originally excited, gradually calmed down.
Luo Xi's mood also slowly calmed down, she put her coat on Gu Zhen's body, and the other party did not refuse.
Seeing this, she continued: "I believe that my eldest brother is the same as me, and I hope that you will always be that pure and innocent little girl who is dedicated to pursuing her dreams. We don't want you to be dragged down by hatred because you don't belong in these filthy places. ”
Gu Zhen pursed his lips tightly, although his head was still lowered, the resentment in his eyes had subsided most of it.
"I don't ask you to forgive me, I ask you to do what you have to do. Luo Xi knew that Gu Zhen would not reconcile with her easily, and she had never had such extravagant hopes, "You can hate me, hate me, but don't treat yourself badly." ”
After a long silence, Gu Zhen finally raised his head and looked at Luo Xi.
She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "Don't think that you can get our forgiveness by saying a few nice words! When my brother comes out, he will definitely not let you go!"
When Luo Xi heard this, he smiled.
The reason why she laughed was because she could no longer see the angry flames and curses in Gu Zhen's eyes.
She understands that this little sister has actually changed, even if she is still hard-mouthed, she has not forgotten the family affection she once had.
"Okay, so can you go home? Your brother will be out soon, before New Year's Day. Luo Xi asked with a smile.
Gu Zhen's amber eyes showed a look of suspicion.
Luo Xi saw that she didn't seem to know Gu Shaoli's movements, so she nodded affirmatively: "I promise, there will be no more accidents." ”
Gu Zhen pursed her lips and was silent, and after a moment, she didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Luo Xi didn't stay, but watched her leave.
The stairwell returned to silence and plunged back into darkness.
Luo Xi let out a deep breath, remembering the purpose of her coming out.
She opened the door and went back to the hallway and onto the terrace.
The terrace is semicircular, supported by three thick Roman columns, and the outer edge is a half-high fence carved with jade balustrades.
The waiter was right, the night view here is really beautiful, and there is no one here.
The wind on a winter night is bitterly cold, but it can make people wake up instantly.
Luo Xi took a breath of cold chill.
She didn't notice that at the entrance of the terrace, a tall figure had been standing with her for a long time.
When the moon, obscured by the clouds, showed its face, a low voice sounded behind him.
"Is it really you?"
When Luo Xi heard the sound, it was impossible not to tell the difference, after all, he had just seen it.
She didn't even look back.
Zhan Yifeng was behind her, keeping a half-step distance, and did not step forward to stand side by side with her.
He thought, the other party doesn't want to see him, right?
From Bai Qingchen, he learned that this Luo Xi was probably the "Gu Xi" of the year, but there were still many doubts that could not be solved.
"Feng Shao is really idle, is the wine not good, or the girl is not fun?" Luo Xi teased unconcernedly.
Zhan Yifeng's handsome face tightened, he was different from Han Jingting's coldness, and now it was just because the woman in front of him made him feel an indescribable sense of contradiction.
In the past, "Gu Xi" would never say such a thing.
That little girl, shy, introverted, kind and simple, has starlight in her eyes.
This woman is charming, arrogant, thoughtful, and her eyes are keen and alert.
"Are you really still alive?" Zhan Yifeng asked directly.
Luo Xiwan looked back, "What is this?
Zhan Yifeng stared at the delicate face in the moonlight, as if he wanted to see through the thoughts hidden in the deepest part of his pupils.
"You're not her. After a while, he came to a conclusion.
He didn't believe that the former "Gu Xi" would become like this. He also didn't believe that there would be variables in what Han Jingting confirmed.
"Indeed, the one you know is already dead. Luo Xi suddenly changed to a serious tone, his eyes stared sharply at Zhan Yifeng's inquiring eyes, and said, "Die in your indifference." ”
"No! it's not like that!" Zhan Yifeng flatly denied.
"How is that? You dare to say that you didn't die and didn't save you?" Luo Xi asked aggressively.
Zhan Yifeng obviously didn't want to admit that the woman in front of him was "her", but when faced with accusations, he was anxious to explain.
Luo Xi pressed forward step by step, and Zhan Yifeng had no choice but to retreat step by step.
The inky black eyes reflected the bright moonlight, but they couldn't hide the light of hatred.
Under Luo Xi's powerful aura, Zhan Yifeng had no intention of refutating.
In the end, the two stopped, Luo Xi raised his red lips, and his eyes were cold.
"You're a murderer too!"
She spit out a few words faintly, as if there was a thousand weights, pressing on Zhan Yifeng's body.
Taking advantage of the time when Zhan Yifeng digested these words, she bypassed the other party's side, intending to leave.
Unexpectedly, someone grabbed his arm and dragged him back.
"Listen to me, things are not what you think. Zhan Yifeng's eyes were hot, looking at Luo Xi's eyes, as if something was about to come out.
"What's that?" Luo Xi faced the man without flinching in the slightest, "You are his good friend, then you tell me, what about my child?!"
Zhan Yifeng opened his mouth, his eyebrows furrowed, and finally swallowed the truth back into his stomach.
"Don't ask. Even if you know, what can you do? Time can't go back to four years ago!" he believed, this woman was Gu Xi.
If it weren't for her, who would be willing to take such a big risk just to find a baby who is not even remembered?
Who knows if that kid will live to this point?
Even if it's alive, what's the matter? Where to find it?
Zhan Yifeng smiled bitterly in his heart, but his eyes became hotter and hotter when he looked at Luo Xi.
She's not dead, she's alive.
Luo Xi's face slowly changed into what he looked like when he was young in Zhan Yifeng's eyes.
Pure, simple, and clean, it is unbearable to blaspheme.
"Creek. Zhan Yifeng's tone suddenly softened.
This soft call, I want to go back to that rainy day many years ago, he held an umbrella to help the girl block the wind and rain.
Luo Xi's fingertips curled up slightly, and the soil that buried the memories deep in his heart was loosened.
Just when she was stunned, Zhan Yifeng seemed to have awakened and suddenly hugged her into his arms.
For Zhan Yifeng, this feeling of being lost and regained is amazing.
Despite the fact that we have just accepted the reality, when faced with excessive sadness and joy, we will always react a few beats slower.
He hugged Luo Xi tightly, and the outburst of emotion after trying his best to restrain it was already uncontrollable.
"Don't pursue the past any further, if you want, I can take you around the world, do what you love and live the life you want. ”
Luo Xi was stunned, she never thought that Zhan Yifeng would do such a move to her.
It was as if the bones were going to be crushed.
"Xiaoxi, do you know? It wasn't until I heard that you were with Jing Ting that I knew how much I liked you. At that time, I was conceited and arrogant, I didn't dare to face my true emotions, and I didn't care about robbing women with my brother, even though I knew that you were just a stand-in, but I ...... I'm sorry. Zhan Yifeng didn't dare to admit that the thing he regretted the most was that he didn't stand up and stop Han Jingting and Luo Xi from being together.
"Stand-in?" Luo Xi heard for the first time, and involuntarily repeated the word.
Zhan Yifeng was silent, and after a while, he made up his mind and said: "Yes, during that time, he returned to China for a break because of his broken love, and only then did he notice that you looked very similar to his girlfriend, so he decided to date you." ”
Luo Xi's heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand, and the blood all over his body coagulated.
It turned out that in that brief relationship, she was just a stand-in?
She thought she had loved without regrets, but it was nothing more than ......
No wonder Han Jingting was so ruthless to her, no wonder he had no pity at all when she was dying.
I see.
Luo Xi only felt bitter in his mouth, and this bitter taste spread from the bottom of his heart.
If it was four years ago, she would definitely be sad because Han Jingting just used her as a stand-in, but now, her bitterness only stems from pity for herself.
used to be so persistent and lonely to love others, but was so despised and looked down upon.
I once thought that a moth to a fire was a great love, but in the end, in the eyes of the other party, I was not even an independent person, just a shadow of someone else.
"I don't care if you come back for revenge or to rekindle your old relationship with him. Brook, come with me. Zhan Yifeng's sudden confession made Luo Xi sober up.
She lay in Zhan Yifeng's arms and moved her body slightly, her voice was not as cold as just now, but a little softer.
"You're hurting me. She said softly, as if she were giving in.
Zhan Yifeng had a happy look in his eyes, thinking that his true feelings had moved the other party.
He let go of his arms, put his hands on Luo Xi's shoulders, and looked down at her.
"The artist's feelings are really strong. Luo Xi let the ambiguity continue.
Zhan Yifeng shook his head, "I'm serious, Xiaoxi." ”
"Then you tell me, my child, is it male or female? You can't say his whereabouts, gender is always okay, right?"
Luo Xi raised his head and looked at Zhan Yifeng with a longing expression, his eyes were sincere and earnest.
She is as pious as a girl full of longing.
She found a new breakthrough from Zhan Yifeng and was unwilling to give up, so she had to disguise her enthusiasm.
This child is a debt to her. She couldn't completely forget.
Under the moonlight, from a distance, a man and a woman hugged each other, as if they were confessing to each other.
Neither of them noticed, someone had been observing them for a long time.
