Chapter 5: Goodbye, I used to be her
Although Zhao Yanran's tone was very soft and her voice was a little low, Chen Xiaoqi knew that the weight of this fluttering sentence was extremely heavy.
"I can't do that! In doing so, my father's political future will probably be more turbulent. No one will agree except us, no one will bless, believe me, Yanran, this kind of life will not be what we want. β
Chen Xiaoqi's eyes flashed with emotion, but it quickly disappeared, he knew deeply that since Zhao Yanran could say it, she could definitely do it, this was her character.
As long as he nods, he can immediately go to live abroad with Zhao Yanran, and come back in twenty years, I'm afraid no one will care about these things.
But he can't, in this way, Zhao Yanran will carry too many and too heavy things on his body, which is not what he wants.
Chen Xiaoqi knew that he couldn't get too close to Zhao Yanran, which was not a good thing for him or Zhao Yanran.
"You don't want to, do you?" Zhao Yanran was obviously a little bit sharp, she didn't care if Chen Xiaoqi could do this, she only asked if she was willing.
Chen Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, he was unwilling and would never tell a lie in front of Zhao Yanran,
"I am willing and want to agree, but I can't and won't do it, otherwise, I won't be the Chen Fengge you know, right? Do you still like Chen Fengge like this? β
"I will!" Zhao Yanran replied forcefully.
"But I won't, I'll look down on myself like that! Oh yes, I've now changed my name to Chen Xiaoqi, the flag of the flag. Chen Xiaoqi didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he changed the topic, he didn't want Yanran to fall into it again.
Zhao Yanran was a little puzzled, "Why did you change your name?" Isn't Feng Ge very good? β
"Because, I want to say goodbye to the past!" Biting his lip, Chen Xiaoqi continued, "Including you!" β
His right hand holding the cup tightened, his heart seemed to be clenched by a big hand, and the feeling of suffocation surrounded him, but he still said it.
"Why?" With an incredible look, the cup in Zhao Yanran's hand fell, splashing a piece of broken porcelain flowers, just like that broken heart.
Two lines of tears flowed silently from Zhao Yanran's beautiful face, and her beautiful eyes were misty, but she looked at Chen Xiaoqi firmly and silently, as if she wanted to see through something.
Chen Xiaoqi's left hand under the table was clenched fiercely, and his fingernails had pierced his palm. γCalm down! Calm down!! Don't be soft-hearted, otherwise it will hurt more!! γ
"I'm sorry, Yanran, you also know what kind of situation I am now, let alone pursuing you, getting back together with you, even if it's just standing next to you and being an ordinary friend with you, it's no longer possible for me.
The wild bees and butterflies around you, even if it is just a small wave, may drown my broken boat, not to mention, my mother is still in this city, I don't dare, I can't let her old man take such a big risk.
Above people, you must recognize others, under people, you must recognize yourself, I know very well that I am not qualified to stand with you now, even if it is just an ordinary friend.
So, Yanran, please, when I didn't show up, okay? β
[Of course, this is also for your good, forgive me, Yanran! ] Leave my broken ship and you'll fly higher and go farther. γ
"So, you're scared, aren't you? You're afraid of the danger that might arise, so you don't even dare to stand with me, do you? β
Zhao Yanran stared straight at Chen Xiaoqi, and asked with a whimper, like a poor and beautiful meow, as if to stimulate Chen Xiaoqi's courage, even if it was not to be with her again, as long as she could see him, she was willing.
"Yes, forgive me, I'm afraid. Okay, I'm going home to cook, I'm out of company, Yanran, goodbye, oh no, it's better not to see, I wish you happiness. β
Enduring the pain in his heart, Chen Xiaoqi said this, he knew what kind of harm he brought to Zhao Yanran this time, but he also had to do it, for his mother, and for Yanran.
Without hesitation, he turned to leave, and when he passed by the cash register, he smiled and said, "Madam, the ladies in box 302 will stay for a while, please don't bother for the time being, pay the bill." β
Giving Zhao Yanran a space to grieve temporarily, and settling the bill by the way, this is all he can do, even if it will cost him a small half of his monthly salary, but this little care is insignificant compared to the harm given to Zhao Yanran.
β¦β¦
took the bus, returned to the Rugui Hotel, and came to the bedroom, Chen Xiaoqi unexpectedly found that Lin Xu was here, instead of going out to clubbing as usual.
"Little brother, why did you come back so soon and stay a little longer?" Lin Xu's eyes were full of teasing, and he knew what he was thinking when he looked at his lewd smile.
Chen Xiaoqi was keenly aware of the change in Lin Xu's language, he no longer called himself Chen Xiaoqi, but Brother Xiaoqi, although Lin Xu was older than himself.
However, this is the cold social reality, because there has never been love and hate for no reason in the world, from the moment Lin Xu's words changed, the relationship between them can never go back to before, very sensitive and realistic.
After all, he and Lin Xu are not brothers, nor are they the three major irons in life.
"Stick, I'm sorry, I might have to get out of here!" Chen Xiaoqi was a little apologetic, of course he could deduce that the reason why Lin Xu became his friend before might be because he saw something, but he didn't dislike it.
Marx, the great thinker and economist, once said that the social relations between people are, in the final analysis, nothing more than the relationship of material interests.
Originally, he planned to give Lin Xu a hand after leaving the Homecoming Hotel, which could be regarded as a return for his emotional investment, but at present, it seems that the plan has to be changed.
The things he has gotten in the past few years in his hands were originally used as a way back, but now that Zhao Yanran has arrived here, the original plan needs to be changed, because he is here, and what he brings to Zhao Yanran is only harm.
"Of course, Brother Xiaoqi, since you have this relationship with the general manager of the administration department, where do you still need to stay in this Chinese food department." Lin Xu responded as a matter of course, well, in his opinion, Chen Xiaoqi's ability to eat soft rice is also a kind of strength, and it is still a strength that makes him very envious.
"No, Mujo, I mean, I'm going to quit my job and leave the Home Hotel, so, I'm sorry!" Chen packed his luggage stingily and didn't mean to stop at all.
"No, stingy brother, you mean, you fell out with the general manager? No, stingy, we big men can bend and stretch, don't we just admit our mistakes, why fall out with the general manager? β
The smile on Lin Xu's face was a little subtle, as if he thought that Chen Xiaoqi had just fallen out emotionally with the general manager, and it belonged to a petty temper between lovers.
Lin Xu's understanding made Chen Xiaoqi's hand paused for a moment before continuing to pack up, "No, Mutiao, you misunderstood what I meant, I want to leave the Homecoming Hotel, it's just my personal will, and it has nothing to do with the general manager." However, although I am leaving, you are still my brother, Wang Run can't mobilize you, don't worry. β
Although Chen Xiaoqi wanted to leave the Homecoming Hotel, the things he had collected over the years made it very simple for him to keep Lin Xu, and as for relying on Zhao Yanran, he had never thought about it.
