Chapter 22 A thin shadow in the curtain of the west wind

The thunder outside the window was louder, as if it was about to rain. Gong Mengshu didn't answer, but got up from the bed, dragged his graceful figure, and slowly walked to the window to look out. Accompanied by the roaring thunder, the wind outside also brought a little rain on her face, and the fresh and cold air made Gong Mengshu's mind clearer.

She ignored Chun Han standing by the window for a long time before she whispered to Cheng Ruikai: "I, I don't want to be nameless, just like that...... Stay here......" Her voice gradually lowered, and by the last few words, it was almost uninaudible.

Cheng Ruikai sat on the edge of the bed, and when he heard that Gong Mengshu had been thinking for a long time to find such a reason, he couldn't help but laugh a little.

He also stood up, picked up a big hat that Gong Mengshu had just folded but had been crumpled from the bed and draped it on his body at will, and then walked behind Gong Mengshu, gently hugged her from behind, and at the same time opened the big coat and wrapped her whole person in his arms, and then whispered in her ear: "Status...... Is it worthy of my sincerity?"

Gong Mengshu's body trembled, but he still didn't look back.

"You also went to school, are you still so old-fashioned in your mind?" Cheng Ruikai shook his head and sighed: "You always know what I want for you." We have grown up together since childhood, and you must understand that as long as I am here, even if I can't give you a name, I will never let you be wronged in this life......"

Gong Mengshu stared at the rain that began to fall outside the window for a long time, and there was a sad smile on the corner of her mouth, when her mother hugged her and cried, she said that her father had been so deeply moved by her mother.

Can you listen to a man's love words? Can a man's promise be kept? The wind outside the window is already a little wild, mixed with raindrops the size of beans, Gong Mengshu, who is thinly dressed, still can't feel the warmth in Cheng Ruikai's warm embrace, she took a step forward by closing the window, and left Cheng Ruikai's chest.

The carved window was slammed shut, closing the hustle and bustle of the storm outside, and the room was quiet again.

Cheng Ruikai couldn't wait for Gong Mengshu's response, he turned Gong Mengshu's body in a hurry, lowered his head and asked her, "What, don't you believe my words?"

Gong Mengshu raised her head and stared at Cheng Ruikai, and after a while, she raised her slender jade hand to caress / touch the three-dimensional outline of Cheng Ruikai's face, she sighed and said, "I believe your words, Ruikai......"

"Then what are you worried about?" Cheng Ruikai's mind was not so delicate, and he couldn't understand why Gong Mengshu was so worried.

"I don't ask for a title, I just ask my future husband to be dedicated to me and have no distractions. This point you, you ...... Can you do it?" Gong Mengshu finally mustered up the courage to say to Cheng Ruikai, looking at Cheng Ruikai with a pair of watery eyes.

Cheng Ruikai was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied casually: "Have no distractions? Do you mean that I can only have you one woman by my side in my life?"

“…… Well......" Gong Mengshu looked back at Cheng Ruikai bravely.

"But...... What should I do with the daughter of the Lu family?" Cheng Ruikai frowned, muttered for a long time, and said, "Mengshu, aren't you giving me a problem? You know that our Cheng family and the Lu family are set to be in-laws...... It's not that I don't want to be the only one in this life, it's that I can't ......"

Cheng Ruikai's words suddenly made Gong Mengshu's heart suddenly cold in half, she lowered her head and bit her lip to stop talking.

Cheng Ruikai saw that Gong Mengshu was suddenly silent, and he also felt that his words were a bit far-fetched, so he compensated for her again and said, "Mengshu, how can you have so many thoughts in your head? I just came back, and I don't want to make us unhappy about this matter." I can't promise anything else, but I can promise that I'll protect you for the rest of my life and always be by your side, okay?"

Since he had said so, it would be her ignorance to continue to dwell on it. Gong Mengshu sighed imperceptibly in his heart, endured the heavy and depressed feeling in his chest, and whispered, "I'm sorry Ruikai, I didn't mean to mention this......"

"Anyway, be happy," Cheng Ruikai hugged Gong Mengshu tightly and said, "I hope my woman feels very happy with me every day...... You're my woman, and I don't want to see you sad all day, you know?"

“…… I understand," Gong Mengshu replied weakly, unable to refute Cheng Ruikai's strong and confident insinuation.

Cheng Ruikai bowed his head with satisfaction. He looked at Gong Mengshu and said, "Since you are tired today, go back and rest early, and we will talk ...... tomorrow" The lingering atmosphere tonight has already changed a little, and he doesn't want to force Gong Mengshu, he hopes that she can be happily by his side, instead of being entangled and worried like today.

"Okay," Gong Mengshu nodded, Cheng Ruikai let go of her, she turned around and walked towards the door. Just took two steps, but was stopped by Cheng Ruikai: "Mengshu ......" Gong Mengshu stopped, Cheng Ruikai caught up with her, and said behind her back: "In my heart, you have always been the only ......"

Gong Mengshu forced a smile, turned around and opened the door and walked out, closing the door with his backhand. Cheng Ruikai watched Gong Mengshu go out, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He lit a cigar irritably and began to smoke, and the scene of the reunion after returning was not as strong and sweet as he imagined, Mengshu would not refute his opinion before, could it be that he went to the school and was influenced by something different? It seems that the old adage is still right: a woman is virtuous if she is not talented. Mengshu just reads too much, and he reads stupidly.

Cheng Ruikai shook his head helplessly and walked back to the bedside, in addition to the smell of tobacco, the air around him also wafted the elegant aroma of orchids on Gong Mengshu's body. He bit the cigar at the corner of his mouth, lay on the bed lazily with his limbs spread out, and took a deep breath of the pillow fragrance through his nose, which was simply refreshing, so the restless cells in his blood began to move again, and he couldn't help but regret letting Gong Mengshu leave like this.

Gong Mengshu walked briskly along the corridor, the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, the wind was blowing on the branches with a whistling sound, and the shadows of the trees were shaking. Her loose hair was out of order, so she had to grab her long hair with her arm and walk briskly along the inner side of the corridor to avoid the raging rain.

In the dark and quiet night, only Gong Mengshu's slender and thin shadow walked in the corridor, looking from afar, like a mournful wandering spirit. But soon, a dark shadow appeared out of nowhere and followed her!

Gong Mengshu, who was worried, didn't notice the situation behind, the girl's mind was chaotic, and she just wanted to go back to the house as soon as possible to calm her sour and sentimental emotions. The black shadow didn't disappear until Gong Mengshu entered his room, as if it had never appeared, and he didn't know it.

Gong Mengshu closed the door with difficulty, she leaned her back against the door panel, her head tilted back, trying her best to swallow the sour and bitter taste of her heart, after a long time, she slowly walked back to the bedside, the wind and rain were raging outside the window, and the room in the room was cold, only accompanied by a lonely shadow.

At this moment, she felt more frustrated than she had ever felt before.
