Chapter 43 Zhu Yan Rhetoric Mirror Flower Tree Tree
"But isn't it, it's estimated that there will be a heavy rainstorm!" the little maid replied to Gong Mengshu, while persuading: "Miss Gong, just eat something, you haven't eaten for a few days, if you continue like this, your body is weak, and the second young master and the old lady should be blamed......"
Gong Mengshu didn't move, and the little maid vaguely heard Gong Mengshu suddenly reply in a low voice: "Don't worry, they won't blame you again because of me in the future......."
"What did you say, Miss Gong?" the little maid didn't hear clearly, and hurriedly asked. Gong Mengshu stood silent for a moment, then turned around and said indifferently: "It's nothing, you put the porridge on the table, I will naturally eat it when I am hungry." Seeing that Gong Mengshu was so stubborn, the little maid had to put down the hot porridge, turned around and retreated.
Gong Mengshu walked back to the bed slowly, sat on the edge of the bed and looked around, the empty room carried her dream for ten years, but now it was just an empty one. Is she too greedy, or is fate a little uncontrollable? Or is it her extravagant hope that is why she is so disappointed now. She laughed briefly at herself, but a whimper came out of her throat, and she quickly covered her mouth, her nose fluttering, and her throat and nasal passages were full of sourness.
There were tears accumulating under her eyes, and gradually flooded her eyes, she raised her head slightly, but stubbornly straightened her thin waist slightly, not letting her tears fall again. Now, what else can she do? What else can she do? Her body is like duckweed, her love is like a withered leaf, since she is destined to die, why should she be so miserable and sunk again, and she can't extricate herself from the abyss of hopelessness?
When Cheng Ruikai pushed the door into the house, Gong Mengshu was sitting in front of the window in a daze. Cheng Ruikai looked at her side from afar, and saw that her eyes were full of clear mist like water, even in the dim world, she was the most eye-catching in plain clothes, beautiful and moving, like a beautiful ink painting. He lost his mind slightly, and her innocence and beauty always made him nostalgic.
As if he had a heart in his heart, Gong Mengshu turned his head and saw him, his whole body was a little stiff. One of them was at the door, the other was in front of the window, looking at each other.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked her.
"It's okay, it's fine. She replied to him.
"There were too many guests yesterday, and I was drunk......" He hesitated to tell her why she hadn't been there last night.
"I know, the girl has already told me......" she said lightly.
"So...... There's something I want to say to you," he muttered for a moment, deciding to tell her bluntly that she had been ill and had avoided seeing his engagement, but that sooner or later she would have to face reality.
She pursed her lips and looked at him quietly, taking a gentle breath, ready for it.
"Mengshu ......" he really said: "I want to go to Nanjing with Qingqing......"
Gong Mengshu put her hands on her knees and clasped them lightly, and the blood around her body cooled rapidly, and she almost felt cold. But I don't know what's going on, she is actually very calm, so calm that she is afraid.
"When are you going to leave?" she asked him, and there wasn't much expression on Qingli's face.
Cheng Ruikai was a little surprised by her reaction, stared at her, and then said: "I'll leave in a while, the opportunity doesn't wait for anyone, I have to rush to Nanjing overnight." ”
She sat motionless at the window and listened to him. After Cheng Ruikai finished speaking, he felt a little sorry for no reason, and said: "I'm sorry, Mengshu, I decided in a bit of a hurry and didn't discuss it with you......"
"You don't have to say that, you're not sorry for me. Men are ambitious in all directions, which is what you often say......" Gong Mengshu's pale face showed a hint of a smile, but the smile was faint and alienated, and Xiao Suo was distressingly lonely. Cheng Ruikai and Lu Qingqing are already an unmarried couple, do they still need her consent to go out?
Perhaps the indifferent look on Gong Mengshu's face was unexpected by Cheng Ruikai, so he was a little cramped. He walked up to her, blocked the cold wind blowing at her through the window with his tall body, and said, "You should go back to bed and rest for a while." The illness is just right, don't blow the illness again......"
Gong Mengshu sat with his waist straight, ignoring Cheng Ruikai's kindness. As he reached out to place his palm on her shoulder, she leaned slightly sideways and flashed his touch.
"I'll sit down for a while, it's all this thin coffin board anyway, it doesn't matter how you toss it. Aren't you in a hurry, then......" she said detachedly, lowering her eyes and not looking at him.
"Let me accompany you again," he looked at the weather outside, before Lu Qingqing's car arrived at the gate of the Cheng family, he wanted to buy time and stay with Gong Mengshu for a while.
But Gong Mengshu was so tired that she didn't even want to lift her head again, and when Cheng Ruikai pulled a stool and was about to sit down next to her, she suddenly stood up and turned around to leave. Cheng Ruikai stared at Gong Mengshu's face in astonishment, but her gaze was never opposite to him.
Seeing that the distance between her and him was getting farther and farther, he straightened up, and finally couldn't hold it back, so he took three steps and two steps to rush forward, grabbed Gong Mengshu's wrist, and took it into his arms. As soon as he exerted his strength, she lost her center of gravity and threw herself into his arms!
"What are you like that?" he gritted his teeth, "Are you angry?" Then why didn't you just say it to me?" he lifted her chin and forced her to look back at him. In her pupils, his face was extremely unsightly, and even his lips/lips were pursed into a line, such a cold curve made her feel even colder.
She looked at him quietly for a moment, then turned her face away, still not wanting to say anything.
"What the hell do you want from me?" he was anxious, and hugged her tightly, so hard that it almost rubbed her into his body. The harder she struggled, the more he wouldn't let him break free. She was held tightly in his arms, but sadly found that his arms were not as warm as they were yesterday. Maybe his heart was cold, so his broad and warm heart was also cold.
"You don't have to do anything, I don't have any requirements for you......" Gong Mengshu blinked, forcing the tears in his eyes back. The heartache was extreme, and I only felt hollow and numb.
"Mengshu, are you forcing me?" Cheng Ruikai gritted his teeth and shouted in her ear, and the words smashed into her heart like thunder. Her nose was sore, and she almost burst into tears. A few random words from him made her heart twist like a knife, and the pain was irrepressible.
"Forcing you?" she finally smiled sadly, shook off Cheng Ruikai's hand, withdrew from his embrace, looked at him and saluted: "Can I force you, Ruikai?
"That's if I said the wrong thing, I apologize. I just don't understand, why don't you look like you are today?" he was asked by her, but he lost his confidence first.
"Because you are not the same person you are today!" she clenched her fists, retracted her gaze, and looked out the window at the low sky like a gray cloth, "and because of me on weekdays, all sincerity and love are only given to those who are worthy of my love!"
"But I'm still the same as yesterday, and I'll always be the same! I still love you, and the one you love is still me!" he stepped forward, like a tongue twister, and took her shoulder again.
"You're no longer qualified!" she forced the sentence out of her teeth. Her love can only be single-minded, and the unique love is what she pursues. No matter how time passes, no matter how many people brainwash/brainstorm her to force her to change her opinion, she still sticks to her beliefs. She can be wronged, but her love will never be complete! Cheng Ruikai already has Lu Qingqing, no matter how sad she is, what's the use? He is not her alone! If she has to share her love with another woman, then she doesn't want this kind of love!
Cheng Ruikai stared at Gong Mengshu in disbelief, and she stubbornly pursed her lips/lips. The unquestionable firmness on his little face gave him an illusion for a moment. It seems that the person in front of him is not Gong Mengshu, whom he has known since childhood, but a strange woman.
"Mengshu, you...... What the hell is wrong with you?" his voice was a little confused. Gong Mengshu just looked out the window, and there was a roaring thunder outside, and it seemed that there must be a heavy rain. She suddenly thought that it would be good if it was spring at this time, cherry blossoms blooming everywhere, and spring was as affectionate as the sea. Everything is so beautiful, so dreamy, not this dry/hot summer, thunder and lightning, which makes people feel even more desolate.
"You should go, otherwise you should be drenched in the rain with Miss Lu Jia!" Gong Mengshu's pure face had a determined and resolute light.
"Will you wait for me to come back?" Cheng Ruikai didn't leave, and stood there and asked Gong Mengshu.
Gong Mengshu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your happiness is no longer up to me." The white light flashing by the thunder and lightning outside the window was so scorching that it was dazzling, but she didn't dodge it, until the light pierced her eyes so much that she couldn't open them anymore, and then slowly turned her eyes away, looking straight at a certain place on the white wall, and then didn't look at Cheng Ruikai.
"No, you must wait for me to come back!" Cheng Ruikai was even more stubborn than her, "You must wait for me!
However, in the ten years that the two had no guesses, countless separations and reunions, Gong Mengshu did not give him a positive promise for the first time. He unwillingly stretched out his hand to pull her, but she kept retreating, and finally ran out of the door as if she was running away, and the slender figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving Cheng Ruikai alone, standing in that room, with his back lit.
A thunderbolt flashed outside the window, and there was a "boom", and the thunder exploded violently, deafening. The long-suppressed torrential rain finally poured down like a wave breaking the embankment.
