Chapter 45: A Belated Farewell

Xiao Sa said that every time Lu Xiaochao was sick, he was like this, he kept babbling, and he tossed himself so that he was not a ghost or a ghost; Xiao Sa also said that every time Lu Xiaochao became like that, he especially wanted to find me out and beat me up severely.

I guess he scolded me a lot in the days I was away.

"Fighting, it looks like your memory has deteriorated. I gestured my fist to him.

"Don't look down on my skills, what's the use of what you can fight, the person who has helped Lu Xiaochao stand out by her side all these years is me, not you, a taekwondo black belt. Xiao Sa looked me up and down disdainfully and said, "You lost most of your life in the car accident, and your skeleton was reorganized, right?

I clenched my fists, moved my muscles, raised my eyebrows and asked him, "Why don't you try it today and see if there is any difference in strength compared to before?" ”

Xiao Sa smiled and shrunk his neck: "I'm not provocative, I'm concerned, don't you hear?"

I smiled and leaned back on the sofa, it was still raining outside the window, this coffee house was near the community where Xiao Sa lived, the location was relatively secluded, at this time, there were fewer customers in the store, and it seemed a little deserted.

Here, the aroma of coffee fills the air, adding a little warmth to this somewhat cool afternoon after the rain.

"I heard Lu Xiaochao say that you saved her last time in the resort hotel, why did Wang Yifan lie to us and say that he saved Lu Xiaochao?" Xiao Sa leaned his chin on the table, looking puzzled.

"That day, I had an urgent matter and couldn't get out, and I just happened to meet Wang Yifan, so I handed over Lu Xiaochao to him, and I asked him to keep it secret for the time being. ”

I also met Mrs. Gu and her husband Mr. Gu Mingyu next door at the cocktail party that day, I went to the cocktail party as a business, but at the cocktail party, several elders who knew me racked their brains to match me to the two thousand gold of the Fuli Group, Ru Qin, she was two years older than me, she was a very happy girl, Qin Jiami mentioned to me before returning to China, Ru Qin's sister used to be my tablemate, called Ru Qin.

It's just that I was all about Lu Xiaochao back then, and I really can't remember that there was such a tablemate.

After being introduced, I also met Mrs. Gu, she seemed to be willing to match me and Ru Qin, and praised Ru Qin for her beauty and ability, but I couldn't help it, so I had to use Qin Jiami as a shield and sue her about my marriage with Qin Jiami, so that I could be regarded as a one-off mention of this matter.

Obviously, when I appeared in front of Mrs. Gu with Lu Xiaochao in my arms, she mistook Lu Xiaochao for the Qin Jiami I said.

I finished meeting the people I should have seen at the drinking party, and then I sneaked out to breathe, but I didn't expect to meet Ru Qin, who was also sneaking away, she didn't seem to care about my refusal to go on a blind date, and mysteriously said to take me to a nearby pool pie duì, I couldn't bear to refuse, so I went with her.

There, I saw Lu Xiaochao, and I saw the man who helped her when she was in Taiwan, humiliating her in public.

Ru Qin was very angry at the time, and she sued me: "That man's name is Lin Yue, my sister Ru Yue's fiancé, and he is a playboy who often makes headlines in entertainment news with scandals. ”

I just said a word absentmindedly, and I saw Lu Xiaochao's eyes looking at me, she seemed to see me, I took advantage of the chaos to leave and get into the crowd, only to vaguely see Lu Xiaochao's pale face looking for something everywhere, Ru Qin also chased after me, I was afraid that she would call my name, so I pulled her and hurriedly left Pai Duì and walked in the direction of the banquet hall where the cocktail party was located.

After that, I faintly heard the sound of water, and when I looked back, I saw only crutches floating on the water.

Actually, I didn't take the initiative to hand over Lu Xiaochao to Wang Yifan, he almost snatched Lu Xiaochao from me.

I remember that his eyes were almost murderous at that time, and he said, "Zhang Xingchen, what did you do to Lu Xiaochao? What qualifications do you have to appear in front of her!"

In Wang Yifan's eyes, I am a bastard who finally died, but survived without skin and face.

Ru Qin, who was following me, immediately defended me and said: "It was Mr. Zhang who saved her, how can you blame him in turn, and it wasn't he who caused her to fall into the water." ”

Wang Yifan didn't answer, hugged Lu Xiaochao and left.

In fact, the photos of Lu Xiaochao and Wang Yifan that came out in high school, I still don't know the truth, Lu Xiaochao has not explained, and I have no way of knowing, or he is qualified to roar at me.

When I returned to the scene of the pie that had been dispersed, I saw a burgundy scarf, and the bag wrapped around it was broken, and I picked it up and found that it was the one I gave to Lu Xiaochao back then.

"Is that the girl just now?" asked me.

"It's mine. I smiled and replied, "But seven years ago, I gave it to her, I don't know, she actually kept it until now." ”

The scarf was still very new, and she must not have worn it much, perhaps because she was reluctant to do so, or maybe she just didn't want to.

The wind chimes on the street corner were blown by the wind, and I pulled away from my memories and saw Lu Xiaochao appear under the eaves of the street corner with an umbrella.

She looked much better now than she had when she got up this morning.

I couldn't help but bow my head and laugh softly, Lu Xiaochao's frightened face when I got up in the morning was really cute.

The door of the café was opened, and immediately there was a crisp wind chime.

"Xiao Chao, this way!" Xiao Sa saw Lu Xiaochao coming in, and immediately beckoned to her.

After Lu Xiaochao put the umbrella away, he turned his face to see Xiao Sa, but after seeing me, the smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared immediately, and she asked me with a slightly embarrassed face: "Why are you there?"

Xiao Sa pretended to look at me and Lu Xiaochao back and forth, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Lu Xiaochao, did you sleep in Xingxing's house last night? Oh my God!"

His unbelievable exaggerated appearance provoked Lu Xiaochao to roll his eyes, Lu Xiaochao sat down beside Xiao Sa casually, and then squinted at Xiao Sa and said, "You called me over, don't pretend to be an idiot." I was sick yesterday, I had a high fever, I lost consciousness, what did you do?"

"I went to the police station to report the case, but they said that it would take 24 hours to go missing before the case could be filed. Xiao Sa said, looking serious, "Or, I'll call the police now and arrest this kid on the other side?"

"If you believe you're a ghost......" Lu Xiaochao muttered in a low voice, and then asked Xiao Sa, "What are you looking for me?"

"I asked the stars to tell me the story of your time together, but he refused, so I had to call you out. Xiao Sa grinned and smiled badly.

Lu Xiaochao's face immediately turned red, and she reached out and gave Xiao Sa a slap: "What**, can you be serious?"

This is, the waiter brought the coffee I ordered for Lu Xiaochao, I sat up straight, listened to Xiao Sa and Lu Xiaochao's bickering, and helped her add creamer and sugar cubes to the coffee and mix well.

Lu Xiaochao glanced at me, didn't say anything, and took a sip when I got it ready, she hated the bitter taste, she didn't drink coffee before, and then she learned from me.

"Xingxing, why are you so quiet?" Xiao Sa's quarrel with Lu Xiaochao came to an end, and the topic fell back to me.

I glanced at Lu Xiaochao, and then said with a smile: "This morning, Lu Xiaochao said that she prefers the appearance of me not talking. ”

Lu Xiaochao immediately glared at me: "I didn't!"

"I heard it all, you said I looked the best when I slept. I laughed wickedly and dismantled her, and when I saw her look of surprise, I leaned down on the table, looked directly at her face in amusement, and said, "Someone thought he was dreaming and secretly kissed me......"

"Zhang Xingchen!" Lu Xiaochao yelled interrupting my revelation.

I laughed out loud and let out a piece of what I had held back in the morning.

Xiao Sa's kid also laughed, pointed at Lu Xiaochao and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a ...... Haha......"

Lu Xiaochao was really angry, stood up and took his crutches and walked out. Seeing this, I reached out and slapped Xiao Sa suddenly: "Who allows you to laugh at her!"

After speaking, I took Lu Xiaochao's umbrella and chased after him, and by the way, I didn't forget to turn around and signal Xiao Sa not to follow.

Lu Xiaochao walked along the eaves of the coffee house and walked around the corner, turned a corner, and saw that she was about to rush into the rain, so I caught up and dragged her back under the eaves.

"You dare to get drenched in the rain, don't even think about it in the future!" I put my hands on her shoulders and trapped her in the corner, looking at the familiar eyebrows in front of me, I secretly gritted my teeth, feeling that all the qiē was not running in the track I expected.

"Zhang Xingchen, don't think I'm a bully, it doesn't matter to you what I do, you let it go!"

I bared my teeth in pain, and I was bitten two marks by her less than 50 centimeters in circumference.

"Zhang Xingchen, I'll count three, you let me go, otherwise I won't leave. Lu Xiaochao threatened me and said.

"Then don't go. My fingers gently ran over her warm lips, leaned over, and I kissed Lu Xiaochao, who was at a loss for words.

She leaned against the wall behind her, there was no way back, I instinctively explored the depths of her lips and tongue, eager to get more of her, Lu Xiaochao's breathing gradually became messy, she responded to me unfamiliarly, like an innocent child, I caught a glimpse of her closed eyelashes, two crystal teardrops trembling and slowly sliding down, and then between her lips and teeth, there was gradually a little salty taste.

It was as if the world had toppled up in that moment, and there was a rumbling sound in my ears, and I couldn't tell if it was thunder or hallucinations, and I could even feel the rhythm of my pounding heartbeat completely breaking down.

I love her more than I know.

This realization scares me a little.

Qin Jiami said that in this world, there is no love for no reason. I love Lu Xiaochao, and it is no exception.

However, until now, I have not found a reason why I have to be Lu Xiaochao.

I let go of Lu Xiaochao, my forehead against hers, she kept her eyes closed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. I suddenly remembered what Qin Jiami had said, my reckless feelings would only be a disaster for Lu Xiaochao.

"Give me some time, okay?" In the end, like a deserter, I took a few steps backwards, completely let go of Lu Xiaochao, without the shelter of the eaves, the cold rain fell on me, and my thoughts gradually became clearer.

Lu Xiaochao finally opened her eyes, and her gaze became extremely strange at that moment, as if what was standing in front of her was a passerby she was completely unfamiliar with, a disciple.

Her gaze is like the judge's final verdict, Lu Xiaochao is like this, for her, there are only two feelings in the world, which belong to her and belong to others.

I saw Lu Xiaochao, her gaze told me that the traces I had left in her heart, and I operated in her heart until this second, and the feelings were emptied to zero.

This is Lu Xiaochao's instinct, but if there is a trace of uncertainty and wavering feelings, it can't move her, it can't reach the bottom of her heart, or she thinks that only the firmest love will not hurt her.

"One, two, three......" Lu Xiaochao smiled at the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, before I finished counting, you let go of me." ”

Lu Xiaochao ...... "I took a step closer, but Lu Xiaochao bent down and picked up her umbrella that I had just dropped on the ground.

She shook the umbrella in her hand and smiled again: "I've taken the umbrella, don't make excuses to get close to me." She strode into the rain with an umbrella, and then with the sound of rain dripping on the umbrella surface, she said: "Zhang Xingchen, I didn't say goodbye seven years ago, today's farewell can be regarded as making up for the original regrets, I will tell you thank you now, and I wish you happiness." ”

At this point, I was completely invited out of Lu Xiaochao's heart.
