Chapter 142: I Remember This Kindness
The next morning, before Chi Wan got up, he was struggling with whether to go to Jinyue.
The man came out of the bathroom after shaving his beard and washing his face, sat on the edge of the bed with his long legs, and analyzed with her quite seriously, "Instead of thinking about this matter and making yourself so miserable, why don't you go golf with me?"
Chi Wan turned over and buried his face in the pillow, "You want to be beautiful!"
I have been lobbying her in her ear when I went to bed last night, which means that three or five friends will bring their wives or girlfriends, and he will go alone, and he still hopes that Chi Wan will accompany him.
But Chi Wan wants to celebrate his birthday with a friend, and he can't force her.
Gu Linan raised his wrist to look at the time, and then slapped her buttocks through the quilt, "It's ten o'clock!"
After saying that, he got up, stood outside the bed, and looked condescendingly at the bag in the quilt.
Chi Wan showed his face, looked at him lazily, looked at him from head to toe with small eyes, and came to a conclusion, "You are so handsome in this dress." ”
Usually used to seeing him in a suit and leather shoes, too strict and indifferent, in comparison, Chi Wan prefers him to dress relaxedly.
Gu Linan put his hands in his trouser pockets to look at her with a smile, accepted her praise without modesty, and said word by word, "When am I not handsome?"
Chi Wan got up from the bed slowly, put on slippers and stood face to face with him, tilted his head and said to him, "Narcissism is a disease, you are not lightly ill!"
……
By the time Chi Wan finished packing up and went out, it was already eleven o'clock.
After Gu Linan sent her off, she went to meet up with her friends, presumably she didn't plan to go to play golf, and went directly to the restaurant.
He sent Chi Wan to Wu Jinyue's community, and before Chi Wan got out of the car, he said, "If you are unhappy for a while, come to me." ”
Chi Wan opened the car door, "No." ”
Seeing Chi Wan enter the community, Gu Linan turned the head of the car.
On Wu Jinyue's birthday today, she didn't call other friends and colleagues to come to her home, after all, she just wanted to spend it with her closest roommates.
My sister Wu Jinyi works at the cosmetics counter, there are no weekends, and she has to go to work on Saturdays, so she didn't come.
When Chi Wan arrived, Ji Zhongxi was also there.
At that time, Ji Zhongxi was helping to cook in the kitchen, and when Chi Wan heard the familiar male voice at the door saying, "The remaining half can of beer can be poured in", she was directly stunned.
When I looked up, I saw Dai Qianwen sitting on the sofa in the living room. The two looked at each other, and Chi Guan's heart choked.
"Zhong Xi is also here?" Chi Wan asked Wu Jinyue first.
"Hmm. ”
Wu Jinyue pulled her inside and whispered, "No one is embarrassed, what are you embarrassed!"
Chi Wan was speechless, "I'm not embarrassed." ”
It's just that I'm not used to it, and I don't know what kind of identity and way to get along and communicate with him.
"Brother Ji said that he just had something to ask you. ”
"I kind of know what he's going to say. ”
Chi Wan pressed his eyebrows, then exhaled softly, and handed over the birthday gift, "For you." ”
Wu Jinyue was a little embarrassed, hesitated, and didn't want to take it, "Ah Wan, do you want to buy me something expensive?"
Chi Wan forcibly stuffed the bag into her arms, "No!"
It's just a pair of UGG beanie shoes, which are much cheaper abroad than in China, Wu Jinyue has always wanted to buy them before, but Chi Wan saw them shopping in New York, so he didn't hesitate to buy them for her.
Walking to the sofa and looking at Dai Qianwen, Chi Wan's face was a little uncomfortable, but he still pulled out a smile.
Dai Qianwen slowly stood up, her lips half open. I probably wanted to shout Aguan, but I just didn't speak.
Chi Wan and her just stood like this, and no one said a word.
Ji Zhongxi, who knew that Chi Wan was coming, leaned against the kitchen door frame, and in this case, he didn't come to disturb.
Qin Mengni held a spatula in her hand, stood with Ji Zhongxi, and silently looked at the two people in the living room, you look at me and I look at you, she was really anxious.
Wu Jinyue couldn't stand it anymore, and walked over a few steps to pull a person in one hand, "Okay, okay, don't be awkward anymore, you two look so stupid like this." ”
Chi Wan's eyes were red.
Dai Qianwen just looked at her motionlessly, biting her lower lip without saying a word.
"That's it, don't quarrel in the future!"
Wu Jinyue took the hands of the two people, overlapped them together, and said to them, "My birthday wish was said in advance, listen up, I hope that the four of us will always be well, always be well, and no one will leave anyone." ”
Chi Wan lowered his eyes, and his eyelashes blocked the fog under his eyes.
Dai Qianwen slowly tightened her palm, clasped her hand, and choked up and called her name, "Ah Wan......"
Chi Wan couldn't hold back any longer, and in the blink of an eye, tears fell.
She raised her eyes to meet Dai Qianwen's eyes that were also full of tears, "Wenwen, I'm sorry......"
Dai Qianwen shook her head violently, "You didn't feel sorry for me, no." ”
In the next second, she hugged Chi Wan tightly.
Chi Wan's hands hanging on both sides raised and hugged her, and the two of them hugged each other.
After a moment of separation, Chi Wan held her face with both hands, "You have lost weight." ”
Dai Qianwen wiped the tears on her face and forced a smile, "Isn't it just right to lose weight." ”
Chi Wan sobbed, his shoulders trembling.
After surgery, her body was sinned, and she could still smile at her, and she couldn't suffocate.
"The past is gone, and in the future, we have to look forward. You deserve better. Chi Wan encouraged her.
"Good. ”
Wu Jinyue, who was standing on the side, walked away silently, walked to the kitchen door, and whispered to the two onlookers, "Okay." ”
Ji Zhongxi smiled and slapped her on the head.
"Oh, it hurts!" Wu Jinyue covered the place where he was photographed, frowning and complaining.
"I'm also obedient to you. ”
After Ji Zhongxi finished speaking, he turned around and went into the kitchen to see how the pot of fragrant beer roast duck was.
Qin Mengni gave Wu Jinyue a thumbs up, "Obey you." ”
Follow behind Ji Zhongxi and go to see the beer roast duck.
Wu Jinyue followed behind the two and roared quietly, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?"
……
"How is your recovery?" Chi Wan took Dai Qianwen's hand and asked relationally.
"It's good. ”
Dai Qianwen looks good, but her face is smaller than before, and she has indeed lost a lot of weight.
Chi Wan nodded, and then asked, "I heard Nini say, you resigned?"
"Yes. ”
"Unhappy at work?"
"Not really. I was in poor health before, so I simply quit my job and recuperated at home for a while. ”
Dai Qianwen's light and breezy appearance has already been judged to be like the two of them from the previous big and heartless girl, and in a month before and after, a person has been completely changed.
Chi Wan held her hand and never let go.
"Otherwise, when you get better, go to my mother's company. Chi Wan felt that in this way, her mother and eldest brother could also give her some care.
But Dai Qianwen obviously doesn't want to work now, and wants to completely empty herself, "Besides, I haven't thought about what I want to do in the future for the time being." ”
"Okay, when you think clearly, let me know if you're interested in going to SF. ”
"Thank you, Awan. ”
"You're kind to me?"
Chi Wan smiled and took out a delicately packaged pouch from the bag, and the TF logo was very conspicuous.
She stuffed the bag into Dai Qianwen's hand, "I remember that you liked this brand the most, and complained to me that the domestic counters always couldn't buy black tube No. 80 lipstick and eye shadow, so when I was in New York, I made a special trip to those big shopping malls and bought them for you." ”
Dai Qianwen lowered her eyelids, slowly opened the bag, took out the lipstick and eyeshadow, the corners of her lips were a little bitter, and she said lightly, "Ah Guan, you really have a heart." ”
Chi Wan thought that she liked these, but she didn't notice the change in her expression, and just asked, "Are you happy?"
"Happy. ”
Holding things in the palm of her hand, Dai Qianwen looked at her with a smile, "I couldn't be happier." ”
……
Before eating, Ji Zhongxi came out of the kitchen and walked to Chi Wan and sat down.
Seeing that there were two people who had something to say, Dai Qianwen made an excuse and walked away.
Chi Wan looked at the TV, and Ji Zhongxi looked at her.
"I wanted to find you a month ago. He spoke first.
"I know. ”
From the beginning of Gu Linan's accident, probably his heart was full of questions, not out of curiosity, but just too unexpected, after all, Gu Linan had no reason to help the Ji family get out of the predicament.
"I don't understand why he did that. ”
"It's over, everybody is safe, that's the best outcome, and as for the reason he did that, you can ignore it. ”
Chi Wan finally looked back at him with a calm expression, "Zhong Xi, this matter is taboo in the Gu family, and no one can mention it again." ”
"You begged him. ”
"I begged him. ”
"Why do you beg him?"
"I don't want anything bad to happen to you and your family, I want you to be safe. ”
"Ah Wan..."
"But I don't love you anymore. ”
She said this without any hesitation.
Ji Zhongxi was stunned, and she herself was stunned.
Probably, she would never have imagined that one day she would be able to speak this sentence to him so fluently and completely.
For a while, the air was almost frozen, and in this nearly ten seconds of silence, Ji Zhongxi's heart that had been hanging for a long time fell little by little.
It turned out that from that time on, Ah Wan didn't love him anymore.
It turned out to be that time, so early.
He lowered his head and smiled lightly, and muttered in a low voice, "How did you do it......"
Chi Wan looked at him calmly for a long time, his side face, handsome enough side face, thick dark eyebrows, deep eyes, and a tall nose bridge...... Everything was impeccable. That's the kind of guy that all girls like.
But she just doesn't love it.
"At one point I was disgusted with myself, and I felt that it was wrong to like him, that he was ugly, and that he should not be blessed. ”
"So I didn't dare to say it, not even to him, let alone to anyone. ”
"But then I found out that even if it was wrong, ugly, and unblessed, I was willing to like him and love him. ”
"Zhong Xi, I'm just so bad, I think differently, water-based poplar, probably talking about people like me. ”
"So it's not worth it, it's not worth it for me, it's not worth it for the past, you should have given up on me a long time ago. ”
Chi Wan said word by word, not fast or slow, after saying this, and then looking at those beautiful deep eyes, she only smiled faintly, "He said that he was selfish and helped your family, so that I could be married to him without worries." As it turns out, why didn't I go to him to make my own peace of mind?"
Qin Mengni shouted over there to eat.
Chi Wan sat and didn't move, and Ji Zhongxi didn't move.
Two pairs of eyes stared at the other end of the restaurant, for a long, long time, without the slightest reaction.
About half a minute passed, Ji Zhongxi slowly got up.
Chi Wan looked straight ahead, looking at the shadow of the man on the TV screen.
The straight figure, standing for a long time, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and he said to her, "No matter what, he is kind to the Ji family." I remember this kindness. ”
