Chapter 154: Missed in the End
Mi Xiaoqi's pale face turned red in an instant, and he almost roared excitedly: "No! you don't understand!"
Instead, he returned to a soft voice: "Over the years, in front of others, I have tried my best to hide and bury the inferiority complex in my heart. Protect yourself with a thick shell cocoon, just to say goodbye to the past. ”
Two lines of clear tears flowed together, passing through the cheeks, Zhu Tiantian stared at the girl crying in front of him, stretched out his hand to wipe away the deep and shallow tears on her cheeks, and made a decision.
Then he grabbed the girl's shoulder, hoping to give her a strong fulcrum, which she could still rely on, and resolutely firmed: "Okay, I promise you!"
After getting the promise, Mi Xiaoqi wiped away his tears, left Zhu Tiantian's arms, pursed his lips, and greeted: "Xiaoliu, how have you been doing all these years?"
"Well, that's good, what about you?" he said politely.
Unexpectedly, the scene of the reunion turned out to be like this: when they grew up, they became strangers, and the distance was like a seed blown down by the autumn wind, which had quietly sprouted and bred unconsciously.
"Xiao Qi, you don't care: why didn't I say goodbye back then?"
Mi Xiaoqi was stunned: Back then, he disappeared without making a sound, and she was afraid of him for a long time, and secretly guessed a variety of possibilities, all of which were not confirmed.
She even pessimistically planned for the worst: maybe he had an accident and was no longer in the world. For this, she wept.
Of course, she also comforted herself: perhaps, he is waiting for an opportunity to escape, and he is still in the world, but he is growing up healthily in another unknown corner and under the same sky.
Now it seems that God has treated her well: it is gratifying. He, like her, grew up safe. At this time, standing in front of her was already a stout young man.
All these years passed. He appeared in front of her, everything has long been self-evident, what has happened has long ceased to matter, the important thing is that the mutual they care about is still alive. And very lucky, they met again. That's enough!
Seeing some disappointment in his eyes, she asked with a smile, "Little Liu." What happened to you back then?"
Xu is asking for the ideal expectation, Zhu Tiantian smiled, recalling: "The day of the disappearance. I walked the streets as usual. Find a target to start with. But by accident, I ran into my uncle who was on a business trip, and he led me to avoid being chased by traffickers and called the police. ”
"Oh......" Mi Xiaoqi bowed his head. "No wonder, when Aunt Liang took me back in a hurry that day, I happened to meet the police halfway. It turned out that it was your uncle who called the police. ”
"Yes, Xiao Qi, are you the same as me? Finally found a family?"
What ushered in was not the joy that Zhu Tiantian imagined, and Mi Xiaoqi's face was abnormal. It was as if the pain of these years had gathered between her eyebrows and eyes, and it had never dissipated or moved away.
Aunt Liang, who fled after hearing the news, took me away from the police. Later, she and I moved to another city and started our lives all over again!"
"You still call that unscrupulous couple Aunt Liang and Uncle Liang? They are simply heinous scum!" As he spoke, the angry Zhu Tiantian gritted his teeth, the blood veins on his forehead were cyan, and the pipes were spurting, recalling the inhuman experience back then, and the hatred was still in his heart.
"Actually, she treated me pretty well! Later, she sold me because she thought I was a burden. ”
"That's not bad?Xiao Qi, you're too kind. ”
Mi Xiaoqi smiled.
"If she had taken me with her, my life would have been upside down and miserable! I should thank her for making me feel the warmth I never enjoyed at my adoptive mother's house. ”
"Xiao Qi, I'm sorry! Back then, I begged my uncle to take me back to you, I wanted to see you find your parents with my own eyes to be at ease. I even thought that if I couldn't find your parents, I would beg them to take you in. However, because I couldn't figure out the details of the criminals and was afraid of reprisals, my uncle refused to take me back. ”
"Little Liu, I can understand!" Mi Xiaoqi responded lightly, what could she ask for? Although she and he met each other and shared hardships, back then, she was a child who was unable to protect herself.
I cried and begged him, but he didn't want to live or die, and finally tied me up and took me home! When I returned home, I threatened me with death, and I didn't eat or drink, and I made a fuss for three days. In the end, my dad slapped me hard and made me realize the reality: "If you are a man, give me a life!" When you grow up, you will find her yourself." Later, in desperation, I had no choice but to compromise. ”
"Little Liu, I don't blame you! Back then, you and I were both children!"
Zhu Tiantian buried his head in his knees, hugged his head in pain, and said with ten fingers deep into his hair, "Xiao Qi, I know that you have a mellow temperament. But I couldn't forgive myself. ”
Now, didn't I appear in front of you alive?"
"Xiao Qi, if you need it in the future, just call me, okay? Give me your mobile phone, and I'll leave your phone number for you. ”
Mi Xiaoqi did as he was told, and while saving his phone number, he said: "My name is Zhu Tiantian now, and no one has called me Xiaoliu for many years." ”
She chuckled and said, "Feminine name." ”
Zhu Tiantian laughed at himself and explained: "Actually, my original name is Zhu Tiantian. After I got it back, my mother found someone to tell my fortune and change my feminine name for me.
Mi Xiaoqi was silent, but his eyebrows were low and his eyes were bright, Zhu Tiantian seemed to have made up his mind, and asked in a low voice: "Xiaoqi, if you meet me first instead of Zijin, will you hold hands with me?"
The smile was stranded, she was stunned, obviously she didn't expect Zhu Tiantian to ask this question, and she was quite surprised: Why did he say this? What was he implying that he wanted to re-enter her life as a boyfriend, act as her protector, and make up for what he thought he owed her back then.......?
No!!!
He didn't owe her anything! What's more, she already had a child by her side. To her, he was just a childhood friend, nothing more.
However, her kindness admonishes herself: don't hurt an innocent boy lightly.
For a while, she was speechless, and she chose to be silent.
The two sat for a long time, but it was Zhu Tiantian who said goodbye first.
"Xiao Qi, take good care of yourself, remember to call me if you have something. I'll go first. ”
The embarrassing situation will eventually be broken, and the joy of reunion will eventually be replaced by the sorrow of parting, Mi Xiaoqi understands, and carefully advises: "Be careful on the road, have a good trip!"
Zhu Tiantian was a little sad: she refused to give him even the hypocrisy of pretending to keep. It seems that he is late, and he and her have missed it after all!
Perhaps, when they said goodbye when they were children, they had missed each other and could not look back!
"Goodbye!" Zhu Tiantian turned to leave without looking back. Whether the girl behind him is happy or sad, it has nothing to do with him! Instead of asking for troubles and increasing the pain, it is better to let go while he is not deep.
Love at first sight after the reunion, coupled with guilt, complex emotions are intertwined, and they converge into a small stream in Zhu Tiantian's heart, winding into the distance......
On the way back, Zhu Tiantian, who was calm, dialed Lin Zijin's phone and apologized. Seeing that his best friend had made up his mind, Lin Zijin was inconvenient to keep, so he regretted it. (To be continued.) )
