Chapter 5: Getting Rid of Dependency
Although Xiao Biesheng was newly married, when he sent Ouyang Ze away, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, and there was always a feeling that he would not return. Even though I knew it was just my imagination, it was still so uncomfortable.
After all, this business trip is not a short-distance trip in China, but across borders, and it will inevitably take longer than an ordinary errand. Inevitably, it makes me a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a month."
Five minutes before boarding, he gave me one last warm hug. When my head was tilted into his arms, when I heard the frequency of his heartbeat, I couldn't say a word, my throat was like a stone blocked, and I could only watch his reluctance.
"I'll call you as soon as I get there, and I'll tell you as soon as I know about your father's situation."
He gently stroked my face, touching my cheek, which had been soaked with tears last night. He looked at me with those deep eyes, which made me feel extremely grounded. For I know that he will not lie to me, his eyes will not lie to me, and his heart will not lie to me.
Fingertips brushed his tweed coat from the collar to his waist. The rough touch rubbed against the fine flesh on my fingertips, and my fingers turned red after a burst of heat.
"Hmm... Be sure to take care of yourself and don't worry me. ”
Although I hate the vulgar routines of the couple's confession in the TV series, I hate the vulgar tricks of Qingqing and me, you and me, and I am even more disgusting, and it is even more disgusting that kind of sadness like life and death parting.
But now, now it's my turn, and I realize that it's really not a fantasy that this kind of "vulgar" routine can appear in real life, and it is precisely this "vulgar" routine that drags the love of everyone in this world...
"Hmm..."
He replied softly, two squishy lips slowly drawing closer to me. The second the tip of his tongue touched my tongue, my whole body felt like I had been electrocuted.
It was his last kiss before leaving, and it was the last gift he gave me when he left. I don't know what novelties he'll bring me when he comes back, but anyway, as long as he brings this kiss back, it's fine...
Without him, I would have lived like a walking corpse. Even though Krista would still be with me every day and tell me sweet stories about her and William, I only felt very sour.
Maybe it's because there is no relationship with a lover around me, so when I see the sweetness of others, I feel so uncomfortable, and my ears deliberately block these words.
The days with Ouyang Ze are full every day, even if he is working in the study without saying a word or making a sound, but his temperature and his smell can fill every corner of the room and make me feel his warmth.
A house is not a home, no amount of material things, no amount of money can make you happy. Because without love, these are cold shells, and they all exist only to imprison you.
"Chen Rui?"
Christao's hand swayed from side to side in front of my eyes, summoning my wandering spirit.
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
Although every day is still the same as usual, every day still watches TV, plays on the computer, and occasionally goes out shopping for an afternoon. But now I feel that these boring things are very boring, like the feeling we had before we got married, like being imprisoned in a cage. Even if you can go out, even if you can socialize with outsiders, you always feel depressed and uncomfortable.
The most clever means in the world is not to imprison your body, but your soul... Now, I'm finally feeling it thoroughly.
"What's wrong with you these days? Always absent-minded. ”
"Oh, it's nothing, I just always feel empty in my heart..."
Don't look at Christao as a person who is about to get married, and he is also a person who has already received the nourishment of love. But like this kind of easy-to-understand truth, she is still confused like reading a wordless book.
"Empty? Is your heart bad? Do you want to go to the hospital? ”
“… It's not that the heart is bad, it's..."
I paused, not making my words clear, I thought that such a hint was obvious enough, but Christao was silent and waited for me to continue.
"Even when you miss someone, your heart will be very empty!"
When I made the words clear, Chris Tao suddenly woke up, just like Sun Dasheng who was enlightened by the Buddha, and the expression on his face suddenly relaxed.
"So you're thinking about Mr. Ouyang~"
Christao's voice softened an octave, and the Mandarin, which originally sounded a little jerky, was even more lame at this time, which made people not embarrassed to listen to it, but goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Didn't you think about William?"
"Nope."
Chris Tao replied to me directly without thinking about it, and her tone was crisp and neat, without any emotion.
"Don't you like him very much? Why don't you miss him? ”
When I thought of the contrast between her seeing William's innocent girl's face, and seeing the cold expression on her face now, I had to sigh again - a woman's heart, a needle under the sea.
"Because my life is not just him, I still have a job, and you, and my sisters. It's not that I don't think about him, it's that I don't spend all my time thinking about him. ”
Christao sat down next to me, took one of my hands and put it between hers.
"Chen Rui, you can't rely on Mr. Ouyang all your life, you are also a living person, your life should not be only him, and your life should not be so monotonous. Well... You also have to learn to be independent, after all, Mr. Ouyang... Mr. Ouyang, he can't be relied on by you at any time..."
Chris Tao said to me earnestly, like a loving mother who cares about her children, and every word seems to float into my heart.
"My lower body should be leaning on him, isn't it?"
"Not really. Because of Mr. Ouyang, he... Because of him... In short, you have to learn to be independent, to learn to fit your life into other things, not just him. ”
Christao's first half of the sentence was intermittent, and I was also in a fog when I heard it, but what she meant was also to make me independent and let me no longer rely on Ouyang Ze, I can understand this sentence.
"But..."
"No, but."
Before I could finish speaking, Chris Tao interrupted me. At this point, she changed her tone, no longer a loving mother but more like a stern father.
"If you want to keep your love lasting, if you want to live with him, you must get rid of your dependence on him!"
"Get rid of your dependence on him?"
"Hmm!"
Getting rid of dependence on him, it's too hard for me... I couldn't take the focus of my life away from him, he was like a poppy, tempting my heart and making me addicted little by little...
But despite this, I'm going to try my best, because Christao, who knows everything, always tells me the "right choice"...
