Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Shadow
Ye Luochen extinguished the cigarette in his hand, poured a full glass of wine into his cup, raised his head and drank it all, the cold liquid flowed through his mouth and into his stomach.
Along with it flowed into his stomach, there were tears that he had accumulated over the years.
Tang Xiaoxiao was about to comfort him, but he had already respoken: "Of course, I also like her as much as most boys.
But at that time, we weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, but we really liked each other, we once carried the same umbrella home together, I copied her homework, and she asked me math problems that I couldn't do.
I feel very uncomfortable when she messes with other boys during recess. I still remember where her favorite bubble tea shop was, and I would buy her a cup every night before self-study.
Buy hot in the winter and ...... in the summer Her stomach is not good, I won't buy her special ice, milk tea seems to make her can't get tired of drinking, probably because she usually lives too bitter, so she has to drink more sweet to make up for it.
She is really nice and gentle to everyone, such a girl, who would not like it?
We went to summer camp that year, and she sneaked out at night to take me to see the stars, and we also hooked up, saying that she would wait for me to marry her in the future, and whoever broke her promise would be a puppy.
At that time, I liked it, without any external factors, without utilitarianism, and without material desires. It's just that I like it very simply, and I hope she's just me. Her hand can only be held by me, I can only hold her, I can only be coquettish, and the cute side can only be shown to me. ”
After saying this, Ye Luochen choked in his throat.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't want to continue to ask him to make him sad again, but Ye Luochen pretended to be strong and signaled that he had nothing to do: "When we were completely separated, she was found to have a very serious heart attack and was going to a big hospital in the north for surgery......
Tang Xiaoxiao asked cautiously: "Then what?" Ye Luochen raised his head again and drank a glass of wine: "That city, there was a big earthquake that night." She never returned. Before I could see her for the last time, my family asked me to study abroad for some reason. I've sent her many emails, but none of them have answered me. ”
When Tang Xiaoxiao heard this, a feeling of regret rose in his heart, what a thin life he had since ancient times.
"It's been ten years, and I still haven't been able to let her go completely. Ye Luochen lowered his head, he didn't want Tang Xiaoxiao to see the tears in his eyes, he couldn't cry in front of the girl, this was his last dignity and stubbornness.
"Perhaps, she also misses you in the sky?" Tang Xiaoxiao really couldn't imagine that Ye Luochen, who is so sunny on weekdays, has such a soft and fragile side in her heart.
I have to admit that he disguised himself very well, if she hadn't known her for so long, she would have thought that Ye Luochen had never liked anyone.
His youth turned out to be so vigorous. It's just a pity for that girl.
Ye Luochen no longer poured the wine into the wine glass, but directly reopened a bottle, and poured it down against the bottle.
This is the most out of shape he has in front of Tang Xiaoxiao.
"You really look like her. Ye Luochen lowered his head and didn't look at Tang Xiaoxiao's reaction.
Actually, she can fully understand this feeling.
I have already forgotten a person, because another person looks similar to her, she will think of that person, think of everything she has experienced with her, this feeling should only be understood by those who have experienced it, so at this time, Ye Luochen's pain, she can also fully understand.
She wasn't angry, Ye Luochen took her for that girl.
She only felt that this young man was so deeply hurt in her heart. Now I think of those smiles he had in the past, when it looked so natural, so sunny and warm.
Right now... There is an indescribable sadness in my heart.
Maybe Ye Luochen's kindness to him, part of it, was originally given to that girl, Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know how similar the two of them were, but she knew that she couldn't use the reason that she looked like a girl and her to continue to consume his liking and his sincerity.
This is not only irresponsible for himself, but also irresponsible for Ye Luochen.
There is never such a thing as a relationship, no one can replace anyone, even a little difference, it is not enough to make up for the complete shape in the other person's heart.
Seeing Ye Luochen stuck in the quagmire of memories and unable to extricate herself, Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the scene when she was on the Ferris wheel with Mo Yu in the playground.
Now I clearly remember what Mo Yu said in a low voice, although the voice was not loud, but she had heard it enough, such a bold idea, could she be a substitute for another person in Mo Yu's place?
If this is really the case, then she may be willing to be a substitute, and her humble sadness in front of her feelings is negligible in front of Mo Yu.
You can go and drop everything and pay for him.
However, if it is true, she will make this substitute, and every time she thinks of his kindness to her in the future, and remembers that his usual care and greetings are all because of that girl's words, every time she is happy in her heart, there should be bitterness.
Sure enough, if it weren't for the liking on the premise of mutual affection, it would be sad.
Ye Luochen didn't mention the girl's name from beginning to end, this has become the deepest scar in his heart, and he won't open it until he has to.
During the day, full and busy, he doesn't think about her.
I will try my best to divert my attention as much as possible, but every time in the dead of night, when I am alone, my mind is full of her voice and smile, and she is also her when she closes her eyes.
Although ten years have passed, the way she looks in his mind has never changed.
All the memories of her shrouded him, and he couldn't escape it.
The more you avoid it, the more you have to think about it, and the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes, Ye Luochen's tears have never flowed only in places where no one is.
His affection often made him miserable at night, and he didn't know whether to blame her departure for the nasty heart attack, or to blame the sudden earthquake.
Ye Luochen left in a hurry and came to the United States at the urging of her family, without taking a look at her last place of belonging.
This has become his only regret for so many years.
If there really was a soul in the world, then wouldn't she be looking at him so cowardly now, watching him cry helplessly?
Since saying goodbye to her completely, he has never met a second girl who can make his heart move, until he moved a little bit here in Tang Xiaoxiao, but this relationship has fallen rapidly before it has even begun.
The two of them are extremely similar to each other in terms of laughter and style of doing things, and only when Tang Xiao laughs, can he see the shadow of that girl, the dimples are all as sweet, and even the position is in the same place, but he knows it in his heart. Tang Xiaoxiao is not her.
Thinking of this, he still remembered the phone call between Uncle Tang and him before Tang Xiaoxiao came to the United States, and Uncle Tang said that as long as Tang Xiaoxiao's heart can be obtained and the two can marry smoothly, then each other's family groups will grow.
Moreover, Uncle Tang smiled at Tang and concealed Ye Luochen's true family background, and he didn't know that he was the second son of the Ye Group, so he didn't have to worry about anything.
But Ye Luochen guessed that Uncle Tang must have arranged to meet his brother Ye Zichen before he asked Tang Xiaoxiao to come to the United States.
Otherwise, if Tang Xiaoxiao agreed to marry her brother, Uncle Tang would not have sent her abroad so much, it is estimated that the matter of learning management is small, and it is true that she can get along with him with "feelings".
What is the main thing, and what is the auxiliary?
Tang Xiaoxiao was kept in the dark and couldn't see it, so could he still see Ye Luochen?
