Chapter 148
Gu Xiyan sat in a Western restaurant early in the morning. Because it's too early. So she's the only customer. She chose the corners of the floor-to-ceiling windows and walls. He sat down quietly. It will not disturb the waiter's ongoing work. It can also have an unobstructed view of the exterior scene.
The waiter thoughtfully asked her what she ordered. She also thoughtfully said that she could wait until they had finished the assignment. The waiter thanked him for his busy work.
That's how life is. If you can be tolerant and considerate of each other. It can be a pleasant look. Funny.
But. Hard. Is that right. Life is hard. Trust is hard. It's hard to even speak. Not to mention love and marriage. And this long life......
Say it to others. Isn't it a breeze? Is it the same person who has a different life? But. Even then. She will also be a little stubborn, a little expectant, a little waiting. Even the small ones can't be smaller. Even if that state of mind and hope are getting smaller and smaller.
She's still struggling. Struggling. So much so that she didn't know that she was so insistent. What the hell is the point. Can she return to the point of happiness or can she suffer from selective amnesia.
If there is still such an option. She would rather have amnesia herself. Nothing is known. I didn't see anything. It's okay to be stupid in your bones.
If time can be reversed. Life can be rewinded. Let her go back to when she first met Xue Zimo......
Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window is the city's busiest shopping street. Today is Saturday. It is conceivable that there will be more and more people in the near future. The hustle and bustle will replace this brief period of tranquility.
Really. When that cup of coffee was in front of her. The people outside also became denser from threes to twos.
Pull out the review materials. Plug in your headphones. It seems to be cut off from all noise and worries. Just sat dumbfounded. I just felt that someone in front of the glass window kept walking over and over. Empty expressions. The eyes are blank. This state. It doesn't match the tranquility of wanting to be "isolated from the world". It's probably the right thing to describe as "dumbfounded".
At least. Ling Zhanchi looked like this. Right. It's just a dumbfounded.
"This is not the place for hard-working people. Ling Zhanchi found himself standing in front of Gu Xiyan. It didn't attract her attention in the slightest. She was still staring blankly at the people coming and going outside the window. I simply reached out and pulled down the pair of headphones.
"Why are you here. When did you come back? Gu Xiyan saw Ling Zhanchi standing in front of him. I was really shocked. There was a moment of trance. I feel like I'm still in City B at this time. So blinked. Came back to his senses.
"It's supposed to be running on both sides every once in a while. You can't stay anywhere for long. Ling Zhanchi put the handbag on the chair opposite Gu Xiyan. Then the man sat down with him.
"I have a girlfriend again. The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth pulled up a "sarcastic" smile.
"What do you mean? Not having a girlfriend is not in line with my temperament. Ling Zhanchi was a little annoyed and automatically filtered out Gu Xiyan's smile. "But I'm just the prodigal son. ”
"Then you get up early to go shopping. So positive. And buy such piles of stuff. Whose favor is this? Gu Xiyan had just finished speaking. I realized I had guessed wrong. There is still an Aunt Ling in this world who can make Ling Zhanchi do this.
"There's more than just a tendon in the head. The response seems to be slower, too. Ling Zhanchi said while appraising. "Ming'er, I still have to rush back to City B. So you can't pick the time to go shopping. Look at you like this. knew that he must have been lazy with Xue Zimo behind his back. ”
"You're wrong. I'm lazy out of the open. "It's been a long time since I've joked like this. Gu Xiyan felt inexplicably relaxed when she heard Ling Zhanchi's words. The people also became brighter. "He went on a business trip. Nobody cares about me. ”
"Is there anyone who feels unappreciated? Ling Zhanchi casually took the book in front of Gu Xiyan. Flip through and see. "No wonder. This book is full of poems and songs. It's all sorrow and sorrow. Read more. How can people get better? ”
"It's not something you don't feel like you're not being taken seriously. Sadness and sorrow are not visible from reading books. Gu Xiyan raised his eyes to look at Ling Zhanchi. He must not understand her words.
"There's something unpleasant in my heart. Speak up and listen. Ling Zhan waved at the waiter. Also ordered a cup of coffee. "Eighty percent still has something to do with Xue Zimo. If you say that Xue Zimo is muddy. I'm not convinced. But I believe. He fainted sometimes. ”
"Judgment. Be discreet and decent. Will he. Gu Xiyan couldn't figure it out. If there is no introduction on weekdays. People like Xue Zimo. How could it have happened that night.
"This is a life. In fact. It can't be too detailed. Ling Zhanchi smelled the crux of the matter. Be prepared to continue your steps.
"Do what you have to do. Maybe you'll have an affair when you go out. Gu Xiyan took his book and began to pick up people.
"It's a good day to bask in the sun. Ling Zhanchi shrank his body down as he spoke. Rest your upper body in the back of the chair.
"You're basking in the sun on this day. Not bad. Gu Xiyan immediately looked "really sick".
"Take everything seriously. Very tired. Ling Zhanchi looked at Gu Xiyan. She's just too serious about everything. So it's not exquisite. It's not clear. I'm just looking for a reason to stay. She has to really debunk it.
"I don't want to take it seriously. But it's all true. Gu Xiyan's head suddenly turned to Xue Zimo and Ren Xue. The style of painting has changed abruptly.
"Anything is true. Ling Zhanchi quickly grasped the key point. From before leaving City B. She and Xue Zimo have been stumbling. It's normal for two people to quarrel. It's been so long. The one in front of me is still aggrieved and depressed. He couldn't help it......
"It's just a quarrel or something. It's not that you don't know. Gu Xiyan was suddenly annoyed. felt that Ling Zhanchi was curious and nosy. Wouldn't it be nice to let her stay quietly? Why do you always meet him when there is nothing to do?
"It's not going to be a fight. Ling Zhanchi didn't say much. But it's very serious and determined.
Gu Xiyan was a little flustered and timid by that sharp look. Jiang Xinran was right. There is no time to get angry. Temper comes as it goes. This kind of person cannot be easily provoked. That stance. It looks like it can't be provoked.
"You have to be good with Xue Zimo. You ask him to ......" Gu Xiyan subconsciously swallowed his saliva. It doesn't seem to be neat to speak. "You. You're not one of mine. Why do you always force me to get to the bottom of it? ”
"......" Ling Zhanchi stammered in the face of Gu Xiyan's unconfident questioning. I was stunned for a moment. His gaze and tone softened. "I'm your brother now. You can say it. ”
"Dear brother. You're going to be. I don't ask my parents if they say yes. Gu Xiyan recovered from the panic just now.
"It's okay if it's not my brother. A few years older than you anyway. Look at it. Ling Zhanchi looked at Gu Xiyan, who was relaxed, and secretly exhaled. In front of her. It's as if I can't grasp the rhythm anymore.
"I want to ...... Divorce. "The thought. She couldn't tell her parents. You can't tell anyone. At this time, he told Ling Zhanchi the suppressed thought in his heart.
"Just think about it. Right. A few words without warning. Let Ling Zhanchi stare at Gu Xiyan tightly. Realizing that the situation was more serious than he thought. But it was also clear that she had not yet fully made up her mind. She just wanted to complain to him. Just talk. Just talking.
"It's not. Gu Xiyan bit her lip and spit out two words.
"He loves you so much. I care about you too. ”
"I know. ”
"He's a very good guy. Responsible, competent. Love you again. ”
"I know. ”
"I don't know how many people are in front of him. He wasn't moved. But he chose you. It was enough to show his determination. ”
"I know. ”
"He always knew what he wanted. The world of feelings is almost a blank slate. Treat you wholeheartedly. ”
"You're right. It's that I can't walk......"
"Married for a few years. We've been through a lot together. What else can't we do. Ling Zhanchi's words couldn't continue in Gu Xiyan's tears that broke the embankment. I had to pull a tissue and hand it over. "What the hell is going on. It has to be this way. ”
Gu Xiyan's tears flowed vigorously. For so long. She could finally cry in front of someone. Whether it is shock, anger, heartache or reluctance, entanglement, and forbearance. She's going to cry all of them.
Ling Zhanchi patted Gu Xiyan's hand. Speechless for a moment. There are all kinds of possibilities swirling in my head. In the end, I "groaned" in my heart and brought out the most unlikely one. Anything that a woman with a modicum of self-esteem can't tolerate. What's more, it's Gu Xiyan.
He hesitated to confirm. Because he firmly believes in Xue Zimo's personality. He also believes in Xue Zimo's responsibility. Because of his belief. Because of his understanding. So he doesn't fight. Don't grab. So he let it go. Set. He watched the two men rejoice and be happy......
"Ren Xue. Is it. Ling Zhanchi still asked. He also knew that his question would undoubtedly make Gu Xiyan worse.
Gu Xiyan really stopped crying. Stared at him with red eyes. Why speak out. Don't you think she's uncomfortable enough?
"You'll know before you get back. Is it. Ling Zhanchi clenched his fist. The only time you let go. What kind of heartache will he have to pay?
Gu Xiyan didn't speak. His right hand stirred the cup of coffee a little tremblingly......
"Who else knows. Ling Zhanchi had the urge to hug Gu Xiyan over. "Still no one knows. ”
"No one knows. Gu Xiyan gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words.
"Are you really stupid? Ling Zhanchi sighed. Facing Xue Zimo every day. I see Ren Xue every day. She was able to hold back until now, and she would rather cry by herself, feel uncomfortable, and be aggrieved. I don't want to pierce it. These days and nights. How the hell did she get here?
Ling Zhanchi was actually a little jealous. Maintaining Xue Zimo in this way. Maintain it so far. Replace it with him. I'm afraid I'll die without regrets.
Gu Xiyan moved her eyes out of the window again. I'm not smart by the same time. And why bother with others saying you're stupid?
His eyes were fixed on the two people outside the window. No. It's three. Xia Xiaoqing, Xue Zixu and preserved eggs. Xia Xiaoqing stood up involuntarily when Gu Xiyan stood up. has already shaken off Xue Zixu's hand. Walk towards the entrance of the restaurant......
