Chapter 126: Unresolved
"Ex-girlfriend. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As soon as this sentence came out, Li Yiming obviously felt that the girl on the other end of the phone was breathing stagnantly, such an atmosphere was what Li Yiming hated the most, it was very embarrassing, and it made people feel at a loss.
But he didn't want to be vague this time, perhaps because he was touched by Zheng Xiujing's sentence "Nothing can be concealed all the time", or maybe he felt that this was just an opportunity to say what was in his heart.
This time, even if the scene will be embarrassing, he still wants to say it all.
And when the silent Zheng Xiujing spoke again, it seemed like a century had passed.
"Ex-girlfriend?" Zheng Xiujing said word by word: "So until just now, oppa's subconscious wanted to constantly avoid and lie?" ”
This time it was Li Yiming's turn to be silent.
“…… I'm sorry. Such a pale response was ridiculous even to the person concerned.
"I'm sorry......" The girl on the other end of the phone laughed, laughing loudly, but there was no trace of real joy in it, the same voice as before, but there was no emotion at the moment.
What Li Yiming heard was banter and ridicule.
He couldn't get angry at this tone, because he knew that if it was him, maybe the reaction would be more intense.
"Excuse me? Ha ha... oppa, isn't it interesting, such concealment, such lying, such a liing, such an interesting to me, right? Why else do you want to do this over and over again, it must be funny, for you?
"Am I the kind of person who deserves to be kept in the dark and deserve to know anything? Yes? Haha......"
"I ...... Xiujing, I really didn't mean that. ”
"What does that mean?" The girl immediately asked, "I'm curious what you mean by doing this to me."
"Also, oppa, Li Yiming oppa, how many of the words you said to me are true and how many are false?
"Originally, I have always believed in it, but now, I really can't be so sure."
"I didn't mean to."
"If it's intentional, then I should be chilled."
"......" Li Yiming felt as if the development of things was out of control, or rather, all this had never been as he expected from beginning to end.
"OPPA had other girlfriends before me. Isn't that normal?
"But why hide it, even if you say 'just a friend', why hide it? This attitude only makes me more suspicious and thinks that there is something between you. ”
Li Yiming rubbed his temples, but swallowed the words that came to his lips alive, he tried to explain in euphemistic words, but he didn't realize that he had unconsciously subverted the determination of "not wanting to be vague anymore" just now.
"Because my relationship with her is still very delicate, I am afraid that after I say it, whether it is you or me, I will feel burdened.
"And I think it's all in the past, and there's no need to dig into it again - it would be better to let it just pass."
"If it's been subtle until now, why can it be called 'past tense'?" The girl sneered, and there was a hint of resentment in her tone.
"Because I think I can handle it on my own, and if I tell you everything, it feels more complicated. It's not just this, it's a lot of the time: the result is more important than the process, and wouldn't it be better if I could handle everything well and face you with a complete mindset?
"You have your own things to do, you have your own work to do, and I think we all share everything with each other - there's no need for that."
"Then why are you telling me now?
"Or is it because I've been persecuting that I have to speak?"
"It's not." Li Yiming shook his head affirmatively, "It's because I feel like I'm wrong."
"I seem to have always been too confident in myself, I think I understand everything, I can overcome anything, and others must be helpless to solve the problems that I can't solve, and I always think that I can handle everything perfectly and will not bring any trouble and trouble to the people around me, so I always don't want to say anything, and I always subconsciously avoid the care of others.
"In fact, I'm nowhere near as tough as I thought I was, and I'm not as strong as anyone I don't trust.
"I'm just an ordinary person."
"I ...... I've always believed in OPPA. ”
"And I've always believed in myself.
"But in fact, I've been living up to the trust that many people have poured into me."
"Not really!" Zheng Xiujing hurriedly said.
Li Yiming just smiled, "Xiujing, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't dare to tell you what happened to other girls, and what I care more about than these is that I haven't told you what I'm worried about from beginning to end."
"That's what I'm most sorry about.
"You're willing to talk to me about anything, and I've always been."
Li Yiming felt unprecedentedly relaxed, as if the stone that had been pressing on his heart had finally settled, and from today onwards, he finally didn't have to hold on anymore and faced the world alone.
"Forgive me, forgive me, okay.
"Forgive me for lying to you, forgive me for going out alone with other women, forgive me for staying overnight at my ex-girlfriend's house, forgive me for moments when I was disturbed by someone else's hug.
"Forgive me for always worrying about whether I can go back to the NBA, dragging a leg that I don't know if I can recover, and promising you to return to the court in high spirits, back to where you think I should really be.
"In the past, I was always reluctant to take the initiative to speak about anything, because I was afraid that you would worry, and I was afraid that you would speculate too much, but not in the future, really, not anymore.
"I've always told myself to be strong, to be steady, to show resilience to face all the troubles and difficulties that may come my way in the future.
"But...... Looking back on my past life, there was no one who made me look forward to tomorrow, I only had basketball, even if I was with Elizabeth, and even when I had the idea of getting married, I still only had basketball in my eyes, and everything else was just icing on the cake and irrelevant things, I could only rely on dreams to make my whole life a little fuller, otherwise I didn't know how I wanted to live.
"Actually, I've always been afraid of being alone, but when I looked around, I realized that I had been alone all along.
"I'm used to being silent, I'm used to taking it silently, I'm used to carrying expectations alone, I'm used to chasing it alone, and I never know what tomorrow will be.
"And now, I'm not alone." Li Yiming raised his head, there were no stars in the night sky, but there were only a few of them, but they seemed to be able to illuminate the entire night.
Even the light of the whole of Seoul is far from enough.
"Xiujing" Li Yiming showed a smile from the bottom of his heart, which was very bright.
"Huh?" Zheng Xiujing was half a beat slower, and then she responded, she hadn't squeaked for a while before that.
"Now, I wonder, will you be the one who told me that tomorrow would be better, and that he would stay with me until tomorrow?"
He was overjoyed, but the answer he was looking forward to was delayed.
This made Li Yiming stunned and a little stunned, but he didn't speculate much for a while, only that Zheng Xiujing was a little shy because of his sudden confession.
Such "hesitation" was expected by him, so he just said: "Don't be pressured, don't give me an answer now." ”
The tone was gentle, as always.
"Ahh Hmm......" The girl's whispered answer seemed to have her own picture, and in Li Yiming's mind, she had Xia Fei's cheeks hanging her head, which must be pitiful and cute.
"All of this aside, for now, don't be angry with me for the time being, and then decide whether to forgive me or not after watching my subsequent performance, okay?" Li Yiming's cheekbones have always been raised, and the whole person exudes overflowing joy.
"Hmm...... Not yet, I'm still angry, hum! The girl made a joke with ease.
"Huh?" Li Yiming's face suddenly became bitter.
"I'll talk about it when I'm out of breath." Zheng Xiujing said with bad intentions.
"Okay......" Li Yiming pursed his lips, not daring to say anything, so he had to change the topic and said: "Then where are you now, are you still busy outside?" ”
“…… No, I was already back in the dormitory when I called Oppa, and the members were still outside. ”
"Didn't you have dinner?"
"No, let's eat together when the members come back."
Li Yiming scratched his chin, "That...... There should be no itinerary at night, do you want to ......?"
"Nope." Before Li Yiming finished speaking, Zheng Xiujing decisively refused, "Didn't you say it before, my agents told me not to meet with OPPA recently." ”
Li Yiming tilted his head, "Okay."
"Then I'll start eating."
"Eat more." Zheng Xiujing's voice was soft, "By the way, is it outside now?" ”
"Hmm." Li Yiming turned around and was already walking into the house, "I'm visiting an old friend with my father." ”
"Oh......" the girl stretched out her voice, "oppa, go, bye~~"
"Bye-bye." As soon as Li Yiming's voice fell, there was a beep on the phone.
He was stunned, but he just smiled dumbly, opened the sliding glass window, and entered the back room.
"Hey Yigu, Yiming, why is it that a phone call takes so long, and the dishes are almost finished!" Before Li Guoxing could speak, Matthew muttered, and his familiar tone made people not feel embarrassed at all.
"OPPA must be hungry!" The doll-like mixed-race girl Akimi came out of the kitchen and brought a bowl of hot rice that had been refilled and placed it in front of Li Yiming.
Li Yiming took it with a smile, "I'm really sorry for the delay for so long." ”
"It's fine." Li Guoxing was already finishing eating and picking his teeth, "Anyway, we didn't wait for you." ”
"Hahaha......" Matthew's family laughed.
Li Yiming grinned and gulped down his meal, and today he felt that his appetite was surprisingly good.
Maybe Aunt Quan Youmin's craftsmanship is completely in line with his taste.
Matthew's family is still noisy, still eating, eating, and making a mess of lively noise, although Li Yiming didn't interject much, but he also blended into such an atmosphere very well.
He likes to be lively, and he prefers this kind of atmosphere, which is called "home".
……
Cheongdam-dong, F(x) dormitory, a spacious house only Zheng Xiujing sat alone on the sofa, and there was an interesting variety show on the TV, but her stunned eyes were not focused on it.
