Chapter 19: The Defendant Confesses
"It's okay, it's okay," after relieving himself slightly, Tao Zisu continued: "I met Mr. Cheng six years ago, we studied in a high school, he... He was two terms taller than me. ”
"Early love?" Cheng Jingxiu continued to stimulate Tao Zisu's nerves.
When Tao Zisu heard this, she simply put the bottle in her hand aside, in this case she couldn't drink water, so as not to fill her lungs first. "No, we've only met a few times, and he took good care of me back then. Tao Zisu said, briefly talking about a few things from their high school days.
"You like him, right?" Cheng Jingxiu continued to ask after listening to Tao Zisu's story.
Tao Zisu turned his head to look at Cheng Jingxiu, nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "Well, if you weren't the president, I would definitely turn against you." Then he found his gaffe again, and quickly shook his head, "I don't like it, who would like that ice cube." ”
"Haha..."Cheng Jingxiu was amused by Tao Zisu, and I don't know if it was because of her stunned appearance or because of the way she described Cheng Yueze. "He wasn't like that before, he used to have a gentle personality. Putting away her smile, Cheng Jingxiu's words were a little heavy.
Hearing Cheng Jingxiu say this, Tao Zisu was a little puzzled, "Did you know Mr. Cheng a long time ago?"
"Well, it's been a long time, longer than you think. Cheng Jingxiu looked at a group of frolicking children in the distance and replied.
Tao Zisu didn't understand the meaning of Cheng Jingxiu's words, just that they were friends who had known each other for a long time, and then thought of what he did that night, it seemed to be nosy.
Cheng Jingxiu turned her head to look at Tao Zisu's graffiti, there was a field of lavender flowers, and turned to look at her, "You like lavender very much?"
Hearing this, Tao Zisu got up and faced the wall where she graffiti, "Well, every girl has a longing for love in her heart, in my imagination, purple is the color of love, and I prefer its flower language: waiting for love." ”
"So you've waited?"
Hearing Cheng Jingxiu ask, Tao Zisu paused slightly, "No, because what I'm waiting for is a hopeless love." She said this topic with a palpable look of loss on her face.
"Hehe, little girl, don't be discouraged, as long as you breathe hard, you can see miracles in love. Cheng Jingxiu glanced at Tao Zisu's lonely side face and smiled to encourage her.
Tao Zisu turned his head to look at Cheng Jingxiu sideways and didn't say anything more.
When she got home, she was basking in the sun in the hanging chair on the balcony, remembering that she saw Cheng Jingxiu in the orphanage in the morning, she remembered that he said that Cheng Yue Ze's previous personality was very gentle, and in her impression, he was indeed as Cheng Jingxiu said, just met again, how could he change so much?
In the time she didn't know, what happened to Cheng Yueze?
was thinking about things with his eyes closed, Tao Zisu suddenly felt blocked in a shadow, and when he opened his eyes, it turned out to be Qi Hao.
"Why didn't you go to the studio today?" Tao Zisu was strange, this workaholic rarely took weekends off.
Qi Hao sat in the circle chair opposite her, looked at Tao Zisu, who looked like a cat curled up in the nest, and said, "I haven't gone out to play for a long time, let's go together." ”
"Okay, where are you going? I want to go to the beach, but now that I'm going, the tide is already rising. Tao Zisu's tone was a little lost.
"Then leave later and wait for the tide to go later. Qi Hao proposed.
"Don't do it, go to the beach at night, and make it look like a secret meeting. Tao Zisu waved her hand again and again to deny, and at this time, she unconsciously became a tangled body again.
"Think of it as a date. Qi Hao put away his smile and looked at Tao Zisu's eyes seriously.
Tao Zisu thought that Qi Hao was joking, but there was seriousness written in his eyes, which made Tao Zisu feel a little cramped for a while, "Don't be joking, it's not funny at all." Tao Zisu pulled out an unnatural smile and kept stirring her fingers.
Qi Hao saw her dodging, but he had already made up his mind that he must reveal his feelings today, so he held Tao Zisu's hand, "I'm not joking, when I say this, I take it more seriously than anything I said before." ”
The hand was suddenly held by Qi Hao, which made Tao Zisu a little overwhelmed, "Qi Hao, I have always treated you as an elder brother, and you also know that my heart has been occupied by a person since I was fifteen years old. Silently withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and suddenly confessed to being regarded as a man of his brother, Tao Zisu felt very embarrassed.
"Don't you have someone you like?" After a pause, Tao Zisu continued.
"Su Su, I hid my mind because I knew that there was a person living in your heart, but I saw that your heart was actually not happy, since you were unhappy, why torture yourself. Got up and squatted in front of Tao Zisu, Qi Hao's eyes were sincere, "Can't you really see who the person in my heart is?"
He has been hiding his thoughts, because he knows very well that Tao Zisu has someone else in his heart, and he doesn't want to add trouble to her, he just wants to maintain the status quo, but now he doesn't want to continue to be silent.
Tao Zisu didn't expect Qi Hao to say such a thing to her, so she looked at him with wide eyes and called, "Brother..."
"Susu, I can't look at you unhappy, since he can't give you what you want, then I'll give it to you. Qi Hao was still in hot pursuit.
After a slight pause, Tao Zisu said softly, "I'm sorry, I can't perfunctory my heart, everything I do must be able to give an explanation to my sincerity." When she said these words, Tao Zisu didn't have the courage to look at Qi Hao's face, she was afraid that she would feel guilty after looking directly at Qi Hao's loneliness.
It turned out that Qi Hao had hidden herself in her heart for so many years, and it was so sudden that she didn't know how to deal with herself for a while.
For a long time, Qi Hao didn't speak again.
"Tao Zisu, you are so stupid!" After being silent for a while, Qi Hao got up, dropped a sentence and turned to leave.
Tao Zisu didn't know at this time that Qi Hao was not simply leaving the Su family and returning to the Qi family this time, but drifting across the ocean, hiding and digesting the endgame he had made with all his desperate bets alone.
After Qi Hao left, he didn't come back, Tao Zisu didn't dare to call him, but he couldn't help but be worried, so he asked the servant to call him and ask if he wanted to come back for dinner.
Aunt Mu called the phone and learned that he had returned to her home, so Tao Zisu put her heart down.
She was very uncomfortable with this meal, and she was choked several times, and the words Qi Hao said to him, as well as his lonely expression when he left, have been haunting her mind.
A month later, Tao Zisu received a call from Qi Hao, everything seemed to be the same as before, as if the events of that afternoon had never happened, but he did not mention the date of his return.
