Chapter 35 (I)

After finishing the recording, Chen Yi chased all the way out from the fire escape in the background, and saw Chi Nuo with a lonely back under the moonlight outside the building, she shouted, "Chi Nuo!" - she always felt that she needed a formal goodbye between herself and him - she was in too much of a hurry, and it seemed disrespectful to him, to herself, and to this relationship.
This seems to be the first time, Chen Yi called Chi Nuo's name, he didn't look back, she called again, he turned his face, the expression was no longer the same as in the past, he finally stopped being like a happy big golden retriever who would run towards her with his tail wagging his tail, he now looked like a down-and-out man with nothing.
"Chi Nuo, I'm sorry......" Chen Yi slowly approached him and said hesitantly, "I know it's useless to apologize." ”
"Don't apologize if it doesn't work. Chi Nuo smiled sadly, "Sister, what more do you want?"
Hearing this familiar "sister", Chen Yi's heart twitched like a pocket that had been pulled tightly, and she asked in confusion, "What?"
Chi Nuo's eyes were not bright at all in the night, and he said in a deep voice, "You have everything, but you still feel sorry for what hurt me, right? You want me to forgive you, just like all romantic comedy movies, you want a happy ending, you want peace of mind." ”
Chen Yi interrupted him and defended himself, "I didn't want you to forgive me. ”
"That's good, because I'll never forgive you. Chi Nuo said, "Sister, I hope you will remember me for the rest of your life, remember that I didn't make any mistakes, but I want to be hurt by you, remember how deeply you hurt me, in every moment when you feel happy, think of me, think that I am suffering because I think of you, since I can't be your happiness, then at least I want to be your little wound, just a small one, compared to the wound you made to me." ”
He hated her, Chen Yi felt it, she didn't speak anymore, just nodded, and admitted and accepted this fact, it was no longer interesting to say anything, she dug a hole in his heart, she couldn't fix it just by apologizing.
"Don't look for me in the future, don't ask me, don't let me know that you still care about me, that will make me still have illusions, my sister may be the first threshold I encountered in my life, before this, I thought I had also experienced setbacks, it turned out that no, before I met you, my life was smooth sailing. Chi Nuo and Chen Yi were a few meters away from each other, his feet unconsciously began to retreat, and he pointed at Chen Yi while walking slowly backwards, " Maybe I should thank you for giving me a chance to grow up, goodbye, I hope I won't see you again, I'm gone, you must not call me, as soon as I hear you call me, I can't help but look back, from now on, don't say a word, don't speak, so that I can slowly walk out of your life, I have to try to accept this fact, and I will not have you in my life in the future. ”
It wasn't until Chen Yi's eyes could only see Chi Nuo's vague outline that he turned around and walked into the dark gap between the buildings.
After Chi Nuo was completely gone, Bai Qi, who had been standing in the door and observing, came over, hugged Chen Yi and said, "Let's go, go home." ”
Chen Yi's head rested on his shoulder and he smiled self-deprecatingly, "I'm really a bad person." ”
"I know. Bai Qi rubbed his cheek against her forehead and said, "I'm not a good person either. ”

After the turmoil passed, Chen Yi kept a low profile and did not have more "demon" incidents, and the reputation finally returned from "mixed good" to "rave reviews", and sure enough, just like she said to Chu Fan - don't worry, in the era of information fragment explosion, people's attention to a single event is very short-lived - and the ratings of "Meet with Voice" have stabilized within a range and no longer fluctuated after several climbs, showing a steady upward trend.
In terms of career, Chen Yi finally received the project of dubbing foreign imported films as he wished, and also began to contact some literary film directors and participated in many script review work.
As for Honolulu English, she just takes care of the school department she is responsible for, because Bai Yuyuan has intensified her interference in shareholder resolutions, her mind is no longer in the company, but more dedicated to film and television cooperation with Chu Fan, taking advantage of the current high popularity, she has already attracted investment for the two online dramas and one movie planned by them, and is ready to start shooting one day.
In terms of family, she didn't want her mother to be alone, so Chen Yi didn't live with Bai Qi, she still returned home to eat with Zhou Biyun every day after work, and on weekends, the mother and daughter dined with Bai Qi's family.
Knowing that Chen Yi was worried that her mother would be lonely at home alone during the day, Bai Qi specially bought a smart border herd for Zhou Biyun, this puppy can understand human speech, and was named "Little Clever" by Zhou Biyun.

It's the weekend again, it just so happens to be New Year's Day, a big room of people is crowded into Bai Qi's house, the TV is playing the New Year's Day party, Chen Yi and Bai Qi are busy in the kitchen for the family's dinner, Bai Qi's parents have suffered from prison, so their hair is gray, and their faces look many years older than Zhou Biyun, but they are neatly dressed, and they still have the reserve and elegance of intellectuals, and they look like old people with a lot of temperament.
Bai Qi's father, Bai Xiusi, sat opposite Zhou Biyun, staring at the mahjong tiles on the table at a loss, and muttered, "This playing cards is much more difficult than settling accounts......"
"How did you pass the time at that time?" Bai Qi's mother, Zhang Zhen, threw out a card and teased, "I have a lot of contact with the sisters in the room...... Oh, we use cardboard to make our own mahjong, you men don't have the brain. ”
"Can you stop talking about things in prison?" Bai Sugar pressed his hand on the card and said angrily, "Can't you pretend that my parents are very ordinary and normal?"
Zhang Zhen laughed, "This kid, ordinary and normal people can make mistakes, we have already paid the price, and we are also half-buried people, there is no need to pretend to be noble, the rest of the days can be reunited as a family, live well, isn't it quite normal, quite ordinary?"
Bai Tang grimaced at her and said, "Mom, after you came out, your mouth is much poorer than before." ”
"Bai Sugar, how do you talk to your mother? No matter how unusual, abnormal, it's also your mother, this family is born as a family, you don't have to choose, you can make do." Bai Xiusi said, pushed his cards, and said with an embarrassed face, "Look, I seem to be nonsense." ”
Zhou Biyun looked at it and said hurriedly, "Lao Bai, you are-"
"He always does. Zhang Zhen had an expected expression, "Cunning old fox." ”
Bai Xiusi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating. ”
Bai Qi looked out from the glass door of the kitchen, and saw the harmony between the old and the young in the living room, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's so comfortable." ”
"Don't be in a daze, the pot is boiling. Chen Yi was stir-frying, and she reminded him loudly, "Bai Qi, do you want to turn off the fire first?"
He then turned off the fire on the stove and asked, "Chen Yi, have you felt that time has passed quickly recently?"
"Yes, it seems like all of a sudden, winter is coming. Chen Yi glanced out the window with his spare eyes, where there was fluffy snow.
"The days start to be repetitive, there are no waves, it will seem that time is fast, because we are doing the same thing every day, the brain compresses these memories, we will remember the first day of school, but we will not remember the second day, we will remember the first interview to find a job, but we will not remember the second time, we will remember the first sip of coffee in our lives, but we will not remember the coffee we drank every day after that, what it tasted like, but we can't remember anything......" Bai Qi smiled and said to himself while taking out the large pieces of beef stewed in the pot, "Many years later, when we are old, we will only remember that we are together every day, as if we have been together since the day we were born." ”
"What's the matter with you, talking so much?" Chen Yi laughed, "Are you dissatisfied with the current comfort?"
Bai Qi looked at her, wearing a sweater with a big neckline, wearing an apron, her hair was pulled up high, such a homely appearance had been carefully described by him in his eyes over and over again, deeply engraved in his heart, she had left him, so that he knew, what it was like for her not to be around, and now, he felt that his soul was even more inseparable from her, and he could no longer imagine and accept the possibility of separation between the two again.
"I wish everything wasn't changing anymore, it's good now, it's too good to be a dream that can be easily shattered. Bai Qi stretched out his hand and gently poked the back of Chen Yi's hand with his index finger, and when she looked at him, he smiled a little shyly and asked, "Why don't we get married?"
