Chapter 17: A Good Future

It was late at night when he returned to the apartment, Cheng Shuo was unusually awake, he had been running around since his official return, busy and tired so that he could temporarily forget the past that he didn't dare to look back on, but the bond of fate would not be reconciled.

Life never goes exactly as you imagined and expected, it gives you the best of everything, and it also predicts that there will be enough twists to come that will break you.

Cheng Shuo, who had never been smooth sailing, never thought that Liu Feng, whom he trusted unconditionally, would one day push him down the clouds.

His long-standing dreams and grandfather's expectations are what Liu Feng values the most, and his dreams carry the promise to his grandfather. Since the beginning of the game, he has trusted Liu Feng so much, as an agent, everything he says and does is for his own development, and he even agrees that he takes care of his dreams and the happiness and stability he wants for the person he loves.

But love is the most ungraspable and uncontrollable thing in the world, and even Cheng Shuo himself would never have imagined that one day, he would regard a person as more important than everything, even if it is the dream he has been pursuing.

He wanted to give her the best he could, he wanted to see her all the time, even if she was busy, as long as he could see her.

He promised Liu Feng to put his career first at that stage, but all the firmness collapsed the moment he saw Yan Zhuanxin, he was really reluctant to let go, he even felt that he was selfish, even on the way to the unknown future, he also hoped that she could always be by his side, and nothing else mattered.

If it weren't for the excitement of that crazy fan's words and deeds, which attracted great attention from the company and the Internet reaction, he would still not wake up in that perfect dream. Even if he is popular, he always feels that love and freedom still belong to him, he didn't think about it carefully, he is already a star, a public figure, every move is under the attention of the world, and many things are being lost little by little.

That was the first time Liu Feng had talked to him so seriously since he met.

"With your current status and strength, if your relationship is exposed, it will not only have an unimaginable impact on your career, but will even bring her trouble and disaster. You have also seen that not all people who like you are well-behaved, sensible and sensible, and one thing last time was enough, and if something like that happens again, do you think it can be properly resolved? What's more, how do you know what more crazy moves they will make? Since you love her, should you protect her from harm? A man should have a career before talking about love, so that you have the ability to give her happiness! Cheng Shuo, don't forget your promise to your grandfather, that dream is not your alone. There is no free lunch in the world, everything in this world has to pay a price, whether it is a temporary sacrifice or a long-term loss, you weigh it yourself. ”

A man should have a career first and the ability to protect her before he is qualified to say happiness to her.

This sentence echoed in Cheng Shuo's ears repeatedly, and in the middle of the night, he held his mobile phone, looked at the photos on his mobile phone and the number that was only one dial-out key, and finally put it down for a long, long time.

He wants to give her the best life and the greatest happiness, but does he have the ability to do so now? Cheng Shuo, who has never been smooth sailing, feels that it is so difficult to choose for the first time.

He can't predict what will happen in the future, and he can't guarantee that there won't be any crazy fans who will do anything drastic in the future, and if their relationship is exposed to the public, he can't protect her all the time.

After that conversation, Liu Feng acted as if nothing had happened, but he had arranged more and more notices to Cheng Shuo, making him too busy to have time to make phone calls, let alone go to see Zhu Shuanxin.

Maybe it's a fan of the authorities, Liu Feng knows better than Cheng Shuo that that girl seems to have magic powers, and he can make the little heavenly king candidate he has carefully cultivated not care about anything.

Cheng Shuo often wonders if everything would have been different if it hadn't been for the car accident back then.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.

The next day, Cheng Shuo rested, and the house was too quiet after all, so he turned on the TV and broadcast whatever it wanted, as long as the empty house was not left without a sound.

He didn't cook for a long time, he opened the refrigerator, it was empty, there was nothing to eat, rummaged through, and finally only found instant noodles, ready to cook and eat by himself, when he was busy in the kitchen, he heard those three words, he thought it was his hallucination, but once again clearly heard "ζ‘”ζΆΆXin", he poked his head out of the kitchen, only to find that it was the sound of the TV.

It was the award ceremony of the Feilu Film Festival where "Guardian" was awarded, and on the screen, a white knee-length dress stood beside Jiang Li like a mother and daughter.

But off-screen, he clearly knew that she had never had this happiness.

He still vividly remembered the first time he saw the pain in her eyes.

It had been raining that day, and he didn't have an umbrella with him, and before he arrived at her school, he saw a shivering figure walking slowly on the side of the road from a distance. He stopped the driver, took off his coat and wrapped her in his arms from behind, whispering in her ear, "Do you want to get sick?

Seeing him suddenly appear in front of her, the only person she could rely on in front of her, all the sadness and grievances poured out, the weather was very cold, no matter how cold it was, it couldn't withstand the cold in her heart.

Cheng Shuo looked down at her eyes, only to find that those bright eyes had been crying, and what he didn't have in his heart was a burst of distress.

He hugged her tightly in his arms, probably guessed what it was, he was used to seeing family harmony since he was a child, he actually couldn't understand her pain, but he felt sorry for her, at that time, all he could do was give her a little warmth within his ability.

She leaned on his chest as the rain fell to the side of the road, and the tears finally flowed uncontrollably, and her trembling shoulders were like a small hammer beating his heart, again and again, so clear.

He didn't worry about her going back alone, he took her to the nearest hotel, both of them were already soaked, and when he entered the door, he went straight to the bathroom and got a bath towel to take off his soaked coat on her body, and then wrapped her whole body with a bath towel, and took a towel to wipe her hair.

She remained motionless and let him fiddle, "Mom has remarried, and the uncle I saw last time." ”

Even though he had guessed, he still stopped the movement in his hand suddenly, she didn't move, and continued: "That uncle looks very good, it should be good to my mother, I have grown up, I don't need her to take care of it, she, she should live the rest of her life, I am happy for her, really, it is a good thing to meet my uncle." ”

He half-knelt in front of her, and the warm wind blew for a while, but she still trembled slightly, and even her voice was shaking, and he was distressed, "Trickle-"

She raised her eyes to look at him, trying to squeeze out a smile, "You know, I was the one who asked them to divorce back then, and the first thing I did when I came home from the hospital was to tell them not to force myself to be with each other for my sake anymore." She pointed to her chest, "For so many years, I have watched them hurt each other, it really hurts here, that kind of life is torture for them, and it is also torment for me, since I don't love it, it is better to separate, even if it costs me never to see my father again." She paused and continued: "It's a good thing that my mother can remarry, she has already paid a lot for me, she should be happy again, she doesn't owe me, no one owes me." She was obviously trying to smile, but hot tears fell and fell on the back of Cheng Shuo's cold hand.

Even if she tried hard to make herself happy for her mother to find happiness again, the deep desolation in her heart still made her sad, her father left, her mother also left, and the home that once belonged to them was only an empty house, and since then she has no home, in this world, she is really alone.

Cheng Shuo had never seen such a distressing Zhuanxin, he looked at her and said softly: "Zhuan, it doesn't matter who leaves, you have me now, you still have me, I will always be by your side." ”

She looked at him, and finally stopped trying to laugh, and closed her eyes tightly, as if that way the tears would not flow.

He stood up and took her into his arms, and said with great firmness, "I will give you the home you want." ”

The word 'home' completely touched the pain in her heart, what she had never wanted was just a 'home', she buried her head in his arms, willing to believe in his promise.

At that time, Cheng Shuo never doubted that they would always be together, and he never thought that they would be separated.

During the Spring Festival that year, she had nowhere to go, and she was going to go back to the empty house when the school was closed, but Cheng Shuo came to her after the holiday and wanted to take her to her grandmother's house for the New Year. She was embarrassed to refuse to go, but Cheng Shuo said that her grandmother had known her for a long time and had always wanted to meet her, and even Cheng's father and Cheng's mother, who were working abroad, knew about her existence.

She couldn't stand his soft grinding and hard bubbles and finally embarked on the road back to Cheng's grandmother's house with him, she was nervous all the way, Cheng Shuo couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her appearance, and joked that she, a future performer who was used to seeing big scenes, would be afraid to meet an elderly couple.

The elderly grandmother Cheng is still in very good health, and when she saw that she liked it very much, she kept holding her hand and talking, and her grandmother's amiability also made her gradually relax, and even Grandpa Cheng, who went out to play chess, came back and praised her with a smile and praise her as a good girl, and said that she was embarrassed.

Cheng Shuo talked to his grandfather about music, and he wanted to help his grandmother cook but was kicked out, saying: "Grandma is tough, you don't need help, you go and talk to grandpa, he is an old music fan." ”

She couldn't resist Grandma Cheng, sat next to Cheng Shuo, chatted for a while, and found out that Grandpa Cheng knew so much, and soon became fascinated, until Grandma Cheng set up a big table of dishes, the three grandfathers and grandsons stopped talking. In the next few days, Grandma Cheng made all kinds of food for her every day, and Cheng Shuo quietly told her that she learned her cooking skills from her grandmother.

The days of getting married passed quickly, and the grandparents were very amiable old people, and they didn't feel any estrangement when they got along. Grandpa had to go to play chess every morning, and Cheng Shuo and Wei Zhuan Xin got up early in the morning to accompany grandma to buy groceries, and then sent grandma home, and he took her around the town. In the afternoon, Grandpa usually doesn't go out, and the two of them try to stay at home with the two old people, and the more knowledgeable musician is almost replaced by Cheng Shuo's conversation with Grandpa Cheng, who jokes that he has fallen out of favor with Grandpa.

Grandma Cheng is very good at making special snacks in the town, especially the unique crystal cheese in the town, which is particularly authentic, and she has no special preference for eating.

The elderly go to bed early at night, and usually after dinner, grandparents go to bed early after watching TV in the living room. That winter, there was a lot of snow in the town, Cheng Shuo and Wei Zhuan Xin ran to the open space to build a snowman, and the fun was lively, and the grandparents also came out, and there was still a thin layer of snow on the ground that swept out a road. It is the dream of many people to be able to accompany each other to old age.

Cheng's father and Cheng's mother did not return to China during the Spring Festival, Cheng Shuo adjusted the video, grandparents leaned on the computer to talk to their son and daughter-in-law, and stood next to them.

When she left, the two old men told her that she must come again, and Grandma Cheng made a big bag of crystal cheese for her to take with her. For a long time after that, as long as Cheng Shuo went home, his grandmother would make crystal cheese for him to bring to her, and later he went home less often, and grandma would send it to her when she was ready.

Before Cheng Shuo went abroad, Grandma Cheng, who didn't know the situation, called him to ask him when he was free, saying that the crystal powder production that year was very good, and he wanted to make crystal cheese for Zhuo Shuo to come, but he didn't know that Cheng Shuo's heart was dripping blood on the phone.

The past is vivid, not that he will disappear without thinking about it, and many things have been engraved in his memory and will never fade.
