Chapter 80: Confession
In March, S City is less cold in winter and more warm in spring, and the afternoon sun shines on the windows to make the students who are in class lazy and dozing off.
There are also guests in a tea room not far from S University who are enjoying the warmth of this early spring, perhaps because the next door is the capital university, the design of the tea room is a typical Chinese style, decorated with imitation clear tables and chairs, hollowed out window lattices as partitions, with plain and elegant calligraphy banners, light and refreshing ink paintings, just rendered out the antique atmosphere, and a cup of light and fragrant tea, borrowing this wisp of tea is really pleasant.
Different from others who come here to taste tea and think, on the second floor, there are two people sitting facing each other by the window, not like other tea friends chatting but relatively silent, only to see one of them elegantly pick up a purple clay pot to refill the tea for the two, this action has been repeated no less than five times, but she has no intention of speaking, it seems that she is simply tasting tea.
"You are still as particular about tea tasting as ever." Looking at the gentle Deng Liyi, Li Ran finally took the lead in opening his mouth.
"It's just a matter of getting used to it," Dunriyi took a sip from his teacup.
"Xiao Yi...", as soon as the unfamiliar long-lost title came out, Li Ran unexpectedly saw Deng Liyi's trembling hand, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
"You must not be looking for me to simply drink tea." Deng Liyi put down the teacup, and his hands were involuntarily clasped together, but Li Ran didn't notice it under the table.
"I... You okay? "Li Ran came to Deng Liyi today after an ideological struggle, but when he really faced Deng Liyi, he didn't know what to say, maybe it was himself who was the one who was at fault.
"Heh..."Deng Liyi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, there are only two people in the world who are least qualified to ask this sentence, one is naturally Li Ran in front of him, and the other is Xiao Xuyang, with an irrepressible mockery on his face, "I'm fine, do you just want to hear this?" Then you can have peace of mind? โ
Li Ran, who heard the first half of the sentence, seemed to be slapped hard by Dunriyi, and the disdain shown on Dunriyi's face at this moment was unfamiliar to her, as her best friend, her former best friend still knew her, and the always smiling and optimistic Dunriyi no longer existed, he was killed alive by himself, and he held back the sourness in his heart and finally turned into a sentence "Xiaoyi, I'm sorry." โ
"So, you're here today to get my forgiveness?" Deng Riyi didn't know how aggressive she was at the moment, it completely subverted her usual, but only in this way could she control her trembling hands and the anger that was about to break the ground.
"I, Xiao Yi, don't do this, I really didn't mean to, I..." Li Ran finally sobbed under the pressure given by Deng Liyi.
And Deng Liyi, who saw Li Ran's tears, was stunned for a moment, why did she bully her, and she was obviously the victim, why did she cry, why, Deng Liyi thought so and asked at the same time, "Why are you crying?" โ
"I... I regret it, I don't want to be a stranger to you... Obviously we are very close friends, woo..."Li Ran was telling the truth, she couldn't stand Deng Liyi's attitude towards her, especially thinking of the intimacy between the two before, but there was another reason she didn't say.
"Then why did you do that?" Deng Liyi thought that she would never ask this sentence, because she did not look for Li Ran after she knew about it and directly signed a divorce and returned to the UK, on the one hand, she felt that there was no need to ask, after all, asking or not would not change her decision, on the other hand, she was also unwilling to face Li Ran, this former best friend was good enough to wear a pair of pants, she never thought that she would betray herself, she didn't know what to do how to leave, Although she once wondered why this was difficult, she didn't expect to be able to ask lightly at this moment.
"I don't know, I'm really... I really didn't want to do that, it's just that after you and your uncle and aunt go back to the UK, we'll see each other normally... I didn't want to be like this, but by the time I realized I was already in love with him. Speaking of which, Li Ran was a little unnatural, but now Deng Liyi has lost his usual meticulousness, so naturally he didn't notice this.
"Hehehehe..."What a simple reason, isn't it just that I have been in love for a long time, it's really ridiculous, how much effort I have put in to return to China, but they are all lying to themselves, deceiving themselves, thinking that it is possible that when she contacted Xiao Xuyang, others may be there in Li Ran, she was disgusted and wanted to vomit, and she did have a vomiting reaction.
"Xiao Yi, what's wrong with you?" Li Ran took the tissue and handed it over, the anxiety in her eyes was so real, so real that Deng Liyi felt that they were still good friends for a moment, but the feeling that came up in her stomach reminded her of what reality was.
Deng Liyi felt that he had reached the limit and got up with his bag and wanted to leave, Li Ran naturally refused, I don't know if there will be a next time to go, Deng Liyi's stubbornness she knows, and it is rare to be able to come out to see herself today, Deng Liyi shook off Li Ran's hand fiercely, "Don't touch me!" โ
"Xiao Yi...", who was so completely disgusted, Li Ran's heart was also very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to let go of Deng Liyi like this, just when Deng Liyi was about to get angry, the mobile phone in her bag rang
For this reason, Li Ran had no choice but to let go of Deng Liyi and let her answer the phone, but this phone call couldn't help but make her scared, and she only heard Deng Liyi change to a soft tone: "Lin Lin... Well, okay, I'll go back later... You are not allowed to take Rui Qian to eat, I'll go home and cook tonight... Ruiqian, Mommy will be back later, you are obedient. โ
The phone call just now came from Berlin, saying that she had received Berlin and asked her to go home directly, but after looking at the time, I didn't expect it to be almost four o'clock, and there was no longer any way to talk to Li Ran* "I'm going home, goodbye." โ
"Xiaoyi, you have a baby!!" Li Ran this time was different from just grabbing her arm just now, this time he stopped her directly, and the sudden loud voice couldn't help but attract the attention of others in the tea room.
Deng Liyi nodded apologetically around, and then lowered his voice and said, "What does it matter to you whether I have children or not!" โ
"Who is the child, is it Xiao Xuyang's, is it not!!" Li Ran ignored Deng Liyi's deliberately lowered posture, but clenched her wrist more and more excitedly.
Needless to say, this move naturally completely ignited Dunriyi's anger: "Let it go!" Li Ran, I sue you, I used to ignore your, and now I can still do it, and you don't want to get my forgiveness, we have been strangers since six years ago, I hope this is the last time we will meet, we go our separate ways, and we have nothing to do with each other. After speaking, he pushed Li Ran away.
"It's not... No, Xiao Yi..."Li Ran, who ignored the wolf bรจi, hurriedly ran downstairs and stopped Deng Liyi again at the door of the tea room.
"What the hell do you want to do!!" Deng Liyi's whole body was already trembling with anger, but her good cultivation prevented her from fighting Li Ran on the road.
Li Ran, who was frightened by Deng Liyi's anger at the moment, also temporarily regained her calm, she knew that it was not appropriate to say more now, even if she said Deng Liyi, she would not listen to "I go, I will go, but... If the child were Xiao Xuyang's, would you let them recognize each other? โ
"Acquaintance? Hehe... You're done! Dunriyi really laughed when he heard that, this man really... No wonder she thought that they were still qualified to dictate her life, the whole person was obviously impatient, and she left straight away without Li Ran.
And Li Ran, who was still standing in place, was full of worry, and things seemed to be a little off track.
"Sister Yi, what's wrong with you?" Berlin asked, leaning his head from behind Dunriy.
"Huh? Ah, it's okay, why did you come in, it's been a tiring day to go out and rest. Startled, Dunriy hurriedly pushed Berlin with his elbow.
"It's all right, look at it..."Berlin gestured to Dunriy with his eyes, only to see that the dishes in the pot were burnt, and Berlin quickly turned off the fire.
"I... I'll do it again, you get out of here. With that, Dunriy went to the side of the sink and tried to wash some vegetables again.
"Sister Yi, how are you... What's going on, who got it!! Berlin grabbed Dunriyi's right hand, which was about to wash vegetables, and frowned as he looked at the obvious bruise on his right wrist.
"It's okay, I accidentally knocked it." Dunriyi quickly retracted his hand and turned around.
"Lin Lin..." Deng Liyi was already in tears at the moment, she didn't want to, she really didn't want to.
"Sister Yi, I'm also a human being, I will also hurt, what am I when you sue me, why do you leave me out every time, do you know that every time I hear you say it's okay, I feel very heartbroken..."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Lin Lin, you don't want to be like this, it's all my fault, I'll sue you, I sue you, you don't want to be like this..."Dunriy covered Berlin's mouth tightly and didn't let her continue.
Berlin shackled Dunriy into her arms for fear that she would disappear if she didn't pay attention to Dunriel, and Dunriyi, who was in pain, didn't push Berlin away at the moment, she knew that her pain at the moment was nothing compared to Berlin's pain.
"Sister Yi, don't want me, I'm really scared." At this moment, Berlin was like a child, repeating in Dunriy's ear.
"No, no, I won't leave you, I'm sorry Linlin." Dunriyi patted her gently on the back in an attempt to ease her affection.
After half a ring, the relationship between the two calmed down slightly, and Berlin bowed his head a little ashamedly, "I'll cook, you go out to rest." โ
The words of refusal were swallowed back into his stomach by Deng Liyi, and he nodded, "Hmm." โ
The meal was more tasteless than usual, Rui Qian was also a discerning person, seeing that Berlin and his own mommy were red and did not make noise, he took the chicken leg back to the bedroom first after eating.
"Lin Lin, watch TV with me." Dunriy got up and sat down on the couch first, and Berlin followed, knowing that Dunriy had something to say to her.
As soon as Berlin sat down, Dunriy nestled into her arms: "Lin Lin hugging me, okay?" โ
"Hmm" Berlin subconsciously hugged Dunriyi tightly, she had a hunch that it would not be so happy if she waited, and she didn't forget to take the blanket on the side to help Dunriyi put it on.
Dunriyi silently watched Berlin's movements and didn't make a sound, only to see that she just stretched out her right hand and was held by Berlin, "Does it hurt?" โ
The distress in Berlin's eyes made her very relieved, she shook her head, looked at the bruises, and said slowly, "I met with Li Ran this afternoon. โ
"Li Ran? Kelly's assistant? Berlin reacted quickly.
"Well, she's my best friend, formerly." Dunriy said slowly.
"Hmm" Berlin was a little surprised that Li Ran was actually best friends with Dunriyi, but those three words showed that there was a story in it, and she did not interrupt and motioned Dunriyi to continue.
"I have been divorced, you know, that person is Xiao Xuyang who appeared at the drinking party, and he is now Li Ran's husband." Dunriyi said lightly, as if this incident did not happen to him but told a story, but Berlin knew that it was this Dunriyi that made her feel distressed, although Dunriyi did not say it specifically, but she could already guess what was going on, and couldn't help but scold those two scumbags in her heart, and she still felt that Li Ran was good, but she didn't expect it to be so sanctimonious, and hugged Dunriyi's hand tightly.
"When I returned to the UK after the divorce, I found out that with Ruiqian, we have not been in touch for several years until this reception." Dunriel pulled up the corner of the blanket and wrapped them both together.
"Then why is she looking for you, and she still hurts you." Berlin was very concerned about Dunriel's injury.
โโฆ I want to feel good and get my understanding. Deng Riyi felt a little relieved when he found out about it.
"Hmph, this kind of person, did she think about you when she betrayed you, unless she was punished twice, no, she can't be forgiven, she can do this kind of thing is simply scum, as the saying goes, a good rabbit doesn't eat the grass by the nest, what about her, let's ignore her, if she comes to you again to trouble me, I will tell Kelly directly to let her fire her." Although Berlin said this in his mouth, he was planning how to deal with Xiao Xuyang in his heart, and she would not let go of the people who bullied her Berlin.
"Well, I know, Lin Lin I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to sue you, but... For this matter I admit that I can't let go, the double betrayal of love and friendship made me breathless, and made me doubt the trust between people for a while, but after so many years and now with you, I have always been grateful to God for letting me meet you again, it is you who make me believe in love again, I can really feel your love for me, but the same because of my past I will feel that I am not worthy of you, so I began to hesitate to reject you, but your insistence and your compromise are all in my eyes, I've been thinking that maybe when I was a child, I put you in a corner of my heart, but I never remembered until this reunion, so that I could let go of the fortification of others for many years, I knew that you were special, so I was letting go of the past, but I didn't expect to come or come, I didn't think that I would meet again, but I was so caught off guard that I was still panicked, so that I ignored you and made you sad, I'm sorry. Dunriy whispered in Berlin's arms.
I saw Berlin help Dunriy up and sit face to face, "I will never need to say these three words, but I hope you can rely on me a little more in the future, don't hide it from me, I know that I am not mature enough and strong enough now, but I will work hard, try not to let you and Ruiqian be hurt in the slightest, Sister Yi, is it okay?" Berlin nervously held Dunriy's shoulders.
The firmness in Berlin's eyes moved Dunriel, and she reached out to touch Berlin's face and said, "I still want to say three words." โ
"......," Berlin replied with some confusion, but nodded anyway.
I saw Dunriyi smile slightly, leaned over and opened his lips when he was 0.01 cm away from Berlin, and said, "I love you." The distance is then reduced to zero.
