Chapter 185: Keep your grief to yourself
Hua Pian arrived at the company with great expectations, but after waiting for a morning but never saw any trace of Cheng Yi, the uneasiness in her heart became more and more shrouded, and after thinking about it, she finally picked up the phone.
"Hey......" The soft voice came through the microphone, and Hua exhaled deeply with pity.
"Where are you?" Pursing her lips, Hua prefers the phone in one hand as she paces around the office, thinking about how to talk about her current situation.
"At home, I'm very tired during my business trip, so I'll stay at home and rest today!" Staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, Cheng Yi tugged at his cheeks, trying to make his voice sound more relaxed.
Suddenly, he paused, picked up his bag and walked out, "I'll go to your house to cook, wait!"
The busy sound of "doodoooo......toot" came, Cheng Yi casually threw down the phone, squinted his eyes again, and a white tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
Last night, when Ran Fang was tired and fell asleep, she wrapped her quilt and kept her eyes open, staring at his handsome face in distraction, tears couldn't stop flowing on a pillow, and asked herself again and again why she liked Ran Fang, why she didn't even want self-esteem again and again, and stuck to him so humbly.
She had let herself go, had avoided all the places where he might appear, had warned herself a thousand times not to be cheap and not to throw herself into her arms, but every time she saw him, her eyes drifted to him uncontrollably, staring at his every little movement, guessing his mood, guessing the meaning behind his every action, every time she saw him frown, her heart also tightened and ached, that such a subtle and uncontrollable feeling disturbed her calm heart, so that her originally proud self-control collapsed, and finally resolutely decided to follow her heart, but she did not expect that the heart that followed her would be so hurt, it seems to have exceeded the boundaries of what she should bear.
Is it wrong to like him? Why do you need to be so humble? Why do you need to endure his hurt again and again? It turns out that some bravery is given to oneself, but in the eyes of others, it is just stupidity.
It wasn't until this moment that Cheng Yi gradually saw that she was standing in the middle of the lake, no matter how hard she tried, how hard she swam, tried her best to get close to him standing on the shore, but she never reached the other side, and even, every time she faintly saw him waving to herself with a smile, but every time she got closer, she found that he was just putting his hands in his pockets, hooking the corners of his lips, mocking her for not knowing, and occasionally kicking her hard, kicking her back to the middle of the lonely lake, just like last night.
Tired of staring at the ceiling, she simply cleaned up herself, pulled her suitcase and disappeared into Ran's house.
She suddenly felt suffocated, feeling that she could no longer stay by his side, that she could not stand his moodiness, that she could not bear that she was so humble, such a humble love, not what she wanted, nor what she could want, so tired that she almost lost the courage to continue living.
Escaping from his air, fleeing from his scent, returning to his empty nest, throwing himself into bed in one go, squinting, but his mind was very clear, all the past that he had been exposed to was like a faded movie, disturbingly repeating the fragments of the past, laughing, sad, every moment worthy of being remembered but still ironic, reappearing bit by bit, so tormenting her.
I turned off my phone, but when I couldn't stand the picture in my mind anymore, I finally turned it on, and it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and it was obvious that the person she was expecting had already woken up, but her phone was still lonely.
There were no tears in her dry eyes, and she was uncomfortable with the dryness, but she kept curling up, pressing the screen of her phone, staring at the screen, waiting, and finally waiting for only her friend.
Hooking her lips mockingly, Cheng Yi finally got up and got up, simply took a shower, tied up her long hair, and even deliberately painted a light makeup on her face, a little sad She just wanted to keep it to herself, about the deepest wound in her heart, she didn't want to be picked up at the moment, maybe she would talk in the future, but not today, today, she can't afford to talk.
When Hua Pixi arrived, Cheng Yi had already brewed a pot of steaming coffee, gossip variety shows were playing on TV, and the laughter covered up the loneliness of the room.
"Why are you here? What about your man? There is no escort?" Based on her observation last night, Kong Chengyi's love for flowers is now in the bone marrow, and she can't wait to be tied to the belt, how can she run freely.
Carrying vegetables in one hand, Hua pity the waist with the other, pretending to be angry and glaring at her, "Dead woman, still laugh at me! I asked him for leave today!" While shopping for vegetables in the supermarket, she called him, if he wasn't coquettish, he might have let her go home directly, and finally he had to send a driver over, and directly sent Ke Jie as a driver, and a light bag of vegetables was also carried upstairs by Ke Jie, watching her enter the house before returning to the company, at this moment she seemed to be a protected national treasure.
Quickly took over the dish, Cheng Yi grinned, "It's a pity, isn't fate amazing? You and Kong Chengyi are so sweet, you even have to get married, have to have children, and you also have tender moments with a cold face!" Every time she saw Kong Chengyi before, he was paralyzed, and she even wondered if his nervous function was really out of balance, and now his spoiled smile felt incredible when she thought about it.
Sitting directly on the sofa, Hua Pity then threw down the bag, rolled her eyes in a circle, and said in a rather tasteful tone: "What is this? Aren't you with my brother anymore? This is the rhythm of becoming my brother-in-law?"
"Are you going to tell me what's going on with you? Especially you, when did you get together with Ran? No wonder you still helped him ask me out at that time!" Thinking of the scene when she splashed Ran and released water, Hua pity sighed secretly for her sluggishness, but she didn't feel any weirdness.
Laughing wryly, Cheng Yi took a sip of coffee, feeling bitter in his throat, "Anyway, that's what you see now, and I'll tell you the rest later!" What to say? She has no clue at the moment, maybe one day when everything settles, everything is really over, and everything becomes a black and white story, then she will describe the whole story as it is, at this moment, she can only keep all the lamentations to herself.
The palm is close to the stomach, the flower pity suddenly suppressed the smile in her eyes, even if Cheng Yi is so understated, she still spied on the loneliness in her tone, friends for many years, even if it is just the tone, she can recognize the difference, and faintly confirmed her uneasiness, and her heart suddenly tightened, "Yiyi ......"
Raising his face and smiling, Cheng Yi picked up the dishes and turned around and went into the kitchen directly, "Did you buy anything delicious?" I starved to death...... his voice was relaxed, but his eyes were gray, and in the blink of an eye, Cheng Yi blinked the tears in his eyes back into his eyes.
Staring at her back, Hua Pity slowly got up from the sofa and raised her face as well, "Let's make dumplings together, I bought fresh shrimp, let's make fresh shrimp dumplings!"
Turning around and smiling at Hua with pity, Cheng Yi had already taken out all the ingredients in the bag, "You bought so many dumpling wrappers and shrimps, how can the two of us eat them?"
"If you can't finish eating, put it in the refrigerator, and eat it when you want to!" Rolling up his sleeves, Hua Pity stood next to him, neatly preparing to wash the vegetables.
Cheng Yi suddenly stared at her seriously and took pity, and her eyes fell on her stomach, "You still sit in the living room, I will prepare the ingredients later, and we will pack them together in the living room, you have to take a knife to cut the ground, I don't worry, I'm afraid that if you cut your nails, Kong Chengyi will ask me to pay a finger!"
"If he dares to ask you for a finger, I'll turn around and let him go back to Kong's house!" grinning, Hua smiled brightly, making it clear that now is her biggest posture, and it is clear that Kong Chengyi has no choice but to do it.
"Dare you become a queen now?" casually threw a few green onions to her, Cheng Yi carried the shrimp and meat and worked directly in the wash basin, "You take care of those green onions, I'll get the rest!"
Pouting, Hua Piti still picked up the green onion obediently, while continuing to laugh with Cheng Yi, and no longer mentioned her and Ran Fang, and even consciously avoided the topic of Ran Fang.
After working for almost an hour, the two of them finally wrapped three plates of shrimp dumplings, which were beautifully arranged, and Hua took a photo and sent it to Kong Chengyi, thoughtfully reporting their progress.
"Take pictures and send them to Moments?tsk, I've learned to show affection in Moments recently, and I'm not worried about dog abuse!" Although she didn't reply to her search during that time, she also silently paid attention to her dynamics, and could feel her joy and touching from time to time.
smiled embarrassedly, Hua Pity still told her bluntly, "No, it was sent to Kong Chengyi, he was worried that I didn't eat well, and he wanted to supervise me!" Kong Chengyi took her to the hotel for dinner at almost every meal, and fed her like a pig at every meal, and now that she escaped, she also ordered to supervise, although she protested on her lips, her heart was also very sweet, and she naturally reported her dynamics willingly.
The desolate and lonely heart was shocked by Hua's pity and shyness, Cheng Yi could barely hold the plate in his hand, his eyes were instantly red, and he turned around and went to the kitchen quickly.
She also took the initiative to share everything in her life with Ran Fang, happy, surprised, moved, and occasionally the flood of small emotions hoped to be soothed, but there was always loneliness on that end, and there would never be a warm response, more of a ruthless strangle.
What a person in love would do, she doesn't have the courage to continue.
In this love journey, it seems to be her journey alone, she keeps moving forward, but he keeps staying in place, and even keeps retreating, no matter how hard she tries, it almost disappears in her eyes at this moment, and the little remaining warmth in her hand gradually dissipates.
