270. Xia Tingyin
Cheng Qi stood in front of the window, where he could see the lawn in the middle outside, and on the neat path next to the lawn, a group of three people were walking slowly. His dear wife, walking in the middle, the person next to him, the posture is accommodating, this kind of whole mind is on one person, he looks at it at this time, and he feels a little sad, because he likes a person, and he can't reveal his own feelings, everyone is the same.
He loves Gussy,
Others also love Gu Xi, and this kind of love and liking may not be different from a certain kind of Cheng dΓΉ.
They are all willing to be pampered and cared for.
It's just that
He loved Gusse more out of understanding, which was the love of his life.
But for others, the Gu Xi they love is more out of imagination, because they don't know Gu Xi at all...... What's the difference between that and loving a picture and a fictional character in a movie?
Having said that, Cheng Qi still felt sour in his heart.
But what can he do...... When an old friend meets, even if he doesn't let Gu Xi speak, Gu Xi will go, it's better to be generous. Although Gu Xi always takes care of his feelings, he also wants to have the opportunity to prove to Gu Xi that he is actually mature.
Approaching the window and looking at it twice, "But to prove it...... It doesn't have to be this way, right? He asked in a low voice.
The daughter in his arms put her arms around his neck, followed him to look over there, then tilted her head and leaned against the side of his face, "Mummy"
"Mom, huh...... Do you miss your mother? Cheng Qi's tone was a little excited.
Cheng Jin was holding another child next to him, and almost laughed when he heard this, and said, "Brother, don't you worry, why don't you go down and say hello together, isn't the person my sister-in-law knows also your friend?" β
Cheng Qi looked at Yu Zishan below, in fact, he could go, there were 110,000 excuses, he could accompany Gu Xi, but he couldn't.
"There are some things, even if I don't let people say them, others will sue your sister-in-law in another way, so it's better to give him a chance to say it, so it's better."
Cheng Jin raised his hand to tease the baby in his arms, hooked the baby's pacifier with his hand, and said absentmindedly, "I don't understand, I don't understand at all." Except for my sister-in-law, no one understands what you sometimes say. β
In his heart, his brother and sister-in-law are the strangest couple in the world, self-contained.
Cheng Qi looked downstairs, Yu Zishan is seven or eight years old in Chinese New Year's Eve this year, he does not get married, does not find a girlfriend, he is ready to never marry for life.
There was a white bench below, Gu Xi sat down, and Qian Xiaole immediately sat next to her, looking at her intently.
Yu Zishan sat on the other side.
"Where have you been for the past three years?" Qian Xiaole asked.
Gu Xi said, "Well, I have lived in several places, and the children are still young, so they can go around, and when the children are older and want to go to school, they can't go around." β
"You ...... now" Qian Xiaole muttered, the second half of the sentence is to become a mother in the end, and never leave the child.
Gu Xi asked him, "What about you, have you had enough?" β
Qian Xiaole said, "I don't like to play. He was still staring at the ring on Gu Xi's hand.
ββ¦β¦ Is there anything special about your coming back this time? Yu Zishan spoke.
"A little." As Gu Xi spoke, she raised her head and glanced at the window in the distance, and when she saw the figure holding the child over there, she smiled, raised her hand and said, "Director Pan has something to do with me." But by the way. β
Yu Zishan was silent, and the clouds in the sky flowed.
The wind swept through her and blew towards herself, with a faint fragrance.
If you occasionally pass by a shopping mall and place high-end cosmetics, there are always various dark fragrances floating, with the gentleness of pure women.
He hesitated to speak, and said to Qian Xiaole, "Xiaole, you go in first and tell a few of them about the fidelity and come back." β
Qian Xiaole looked at him dumbfounded, stupid for a while, as if he didn't believe Yu Zishan at all and drove himself away like this, but he couldn't talk like this, he knew it, stood up reluctantly, and said to Gu Xi, "Then you tell him first, you have to leave time to talk to me alone." β
Gu Xi nodded.
Seeing that Gu Xi didn't keep himself, Qian Xiaole was even more sad.
Watching him leave, Gu Xi said, "I thought that when you came back this time, you should all find your own happiness." Just like me. She said it naturally.
Yu Zishan said, "Do you know what I said to you? β
Gu Xi looked at a small piece of grass on the ground in the distance, swaying by the wind, and said, "Actually, I don't know." But I hope you're all doing well. β
"It's always good," Yu Zishan said, "but there's one thing that's not good." He looked at Gu Xi and said calmly, "It's the woman I like, and it's already over before I start pursuing." β
Gu Xi looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, as well as her stingy and nervous husband behind the glass, and said calmly, "That's really a good thing." I've heard a joke about what if everyone in this world only has one chance to meet true love, but misses it? β
She looked at herself and said very seriously, "Congratulations, you're free!" β
Yu Zishan was stunned for a few seconds and laughed loudly.
******
Cheng Qi turned around from upstairs and said to Cheng Jin, "The child should still move on the lawn." β
Cheng Jin stretched his neck to look downstairs, on the chair outside, the sun was just right, a man and a woman, the man kept looking at the woman, affectionate, he could see it from such a distance.
Cheng Qi wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at it, he and Gu Xi were vines entangled under the old tree, life and death were compatible, she was a distant gesture, and he also knew what she was experiencing.
The man, did you still say it?
Cheng Jin said, "Actually, brother, you have to think it's too obvious, I can take the child down, and my sister-in-law won't talk about you at that time." β
The daughter in Cheng Qi's arms hugged him tightly, fragrant.
Cheng Qi stood still, and suddenly thought that once, he brought Gu Xi here to eat, she stood on the porch downstairs, drizzling, he personally drove her, she said that on the way.
"I want a partner who is not only consistent in life, consistent in thinking, but also consistent in wisdom."
"If the person I love, how can I be willing not to accompany her in the spiritual world."
Now, after many, many years, he actually sees his former self in Zishan.
But at that time, I was young and invincible.
But what if he reached the age of self-kindness...... On that day, I must be persistent in waiting, and I would rather die than give in.
Killing people is not enough, and Lao Tzu, the king of the spiritual world, can't control it.
They, in a sense, are all the way.
He turned around and walked towards the door, he shouldn't and couldn't give others a chance, and said to Gu Xi that he would be accompanied in the spiritual world and wait endlessly.
Just as Fang Bichun pushed the door in, someone was serving tea behind him, and he said, "I watched them rush, Qi Ye, where are you going?" β
Cheng Qi said, "The child wants to go to the sun. β
Fang Bichun: "......"
If you want to chase out your rival, you will say it clearly, as if no one knows.
******
Mi Yao raised her face from the sink, her face was full of water droplets, she pulled a few pieces of paper next to her, sucked off the cold water droplets, as if she felt that she was clearer, she looked in the mirror, looked at herself inside, she was still beautiful, from childhood to adulthood, there are many people who say that she is beautiful.
But today she suddenly realized that it seems that just being beautiful is not enough, and women should have something of their own.
And she didn't.
She didn't even know what that thing was, she only knew that it was supposed to be unique and attractive, something that no one else had.
Like the woman's smile just now, she didn't know why, she felt that it was an honor to be watched and laughed by someone like that.
Honoured!
She'd never felt that before.
It is a man who is laughed at like that.
I probably think it's better than a spring breeze.
She also wants to become a woman like that.
She took out her makeup bag, touched up her face, rubbed her hands on her young face, and found confidence again.
She is still young and has the opportunity to plan for the future.
She closed her bag, zipped it up, and went out of the bathroom, through the corridor, a series of large floor-to-ceiling glass, with large white squares, the sun shining through, shining on her face, and on the floor, reflecting that the furniture in this corridor was superior, as if this road was the road to the temple, with light.
She looked to the left, the sun and the green, there was a baby learning to walk, staggering, stumbling, she couldn't help but stop, two steps closer, she didn't like children, and never thought children were cute.
There was also a little girl next to her, more than two years old, wearing a red strap dress, which was particularly beautiful, like a blooming flower.
She walked to the glass window, the sky was exceptionally blue, the clouds were white, the grass was green, she followed the little baby's stumbling appearance, her eyes stumbled on a man, and then, her eyes widened, the light of the moment was like a flashback, she almost didn't think about it, trotted two steps, there was a door in front of her, she rushed out, towards the person over there.
Cheng Qi just took the child out, and he was still "warming up", putting the child on the ground very hypocritically, pretending that the child was very impatient and wanted to walk, but the son didn't give any strength, shaking step by step, and then sat on the grass with his butt, he just picked up his son, and just asked Ah Jin next to him, "Does your sister-in-law see us?" β
A woman ran at him.
When he saw the person in two seconds, he couldn't believe it.
Cheng Jin was still very blind, the young man's eyes were waiting for one, and he immediately snatched his emotion and said, "Yo, Mi Yao, brother, you are unlucky enough." β
The lawn was so big, and at the other end, his lovely wife was still sitting on the bench, chatting with his rival, and she didn't notice him at all.
Cheng Qi showed the wit of a gentleman, stuffed his son in, bent down by himself, and picked up his daughter steadily, but unfortunately his daughter was too young, and it would take two years to help him drive people out.
Mi Yao had already slowed down, her eyes were sad, joyful, and desperate, and she looked at Cheng Qi for a moment. Maybe because I like it too much, the eyes are no longer sophisticated, and they show a naΓ―ve color that wants nothing else.
The disdain on Cheng Jin's face disappeared because the expression was too sympathetic. It's embarrassing to want to turn your head, you can't bear to turn your head, you want to turn your head with a sigh.
But Mi Yao's entire mind is on Cheng Qi, as if there is only this living thing left in the world.
"You...... How did you get here? She said without beginning or end, and her tone was not angry, as if the two were very familiar with each other.
Cheng Qi didn't speak.
She stepped forward again and said, "Are you okay?" I haven't seen you for a long time, I really didn't expect to meet you here, and I just arrived in Dijing City......" she said a little excited, her face flushed.
But that's definitely not shyness, it's joy.
Cheng Jin hugged the child and stepped back. The girl in Cheng Qi's arms put her arms around his neck, leaned on the side of Cheng Qi's face, and looked at Mi Yao with bright eyes.
Mi Yao finally noticed that there was still someone in Cheng Qi's arms, and she said, "This ...... Whose child is this, it's so beautiful. β
It's full of eyes. Cheng Qi said indifferently, "This is my child." β
"Yours?" Mi Yao's tone was very mushy, and she couldn't tell if it was an accident.
Cheng Qi didn't move, he couldn't turn around and leave, if he left, Mi Yao would go crazy and chase him again, it would be terrible, and he would have to gossip today.
Mi Yao stepped forward, "I didn't expect you to have children, I can't believe it." I like children's ...... too," she looked at the child, as if she wished she had given birth to her.
The eyes were so hot that it was embarrassing.
Cheng Jin suddenly felt a little unbearable. In Mi Yao's life, because she has seen his brother, it is like missing the ** color......
She didn't speak, she didn't move, and she didn't mean to leave, she just stared at Cheng Qi obsessively and couldn't get enough.
Cheng Qi felt that this would not work, so he said, "I'm eating upstairs, do you want to come up and sit together?" β
Mi Yao almost couldn't believe it, she took two small breaths before saying, "Is it really possible?" β
Cheng Qi said, "As soon as you go upstairs and ask, someone will bring you in." There are too many people in this place, so let's go first. β
Mi Yao nodded, "Okay." β
She stood upright, watched Cheng Qi holding the child, and walked farther and farther away with Cheng Jin, entering the double glass door. She turned and walked towards the door she had just run out of, so that she could take a long detour so that no one could see her.
The first time she came here, she didn't know it well, so she asked a waiter, and as soon as she said she was looking for Cheng Qi, the waiter personally showed her the way.
Stepping on the carpet in the middle of the staircase is the same as stepping on a cloud.
This side is obviously far away, and it took a lot of detours to get to the direction where Cheng Qi had just gone upstairs.
Her heart was nervous, blank, she didn't really know what she wanted to do, as long as she could look at him, a few more times. She even suddenly had a humble thought, why would those women in the past prefer to be concubines, maybe some really love that man, as long as they can see him, be a maid, and do anything.
At this time, she finally realized that as long as she could see him, she could do whatever she wanted.
There was a waiter at the door, stopping them.
The one who led the way helped her say, "Find Qi Ye." β
Mi Yao was distracted by this title.
The door opened, and she went in with uncontrollable excitement, only to find that the private room was very large and extraordinarily luxurious, and that there was a woman sitting at the middle table, who she had just seen downstairs, and who she had smiled with men, and whom she thought would be like the woman who had once been in the spring breeze.
She was still a little stunned, "Am I in the wrong place?" β
The woman said, "No, let me introduce myself, my surname is Cheng, and I am Cheng Qi's wife." β
"Cheng, Mrs. Cheng."
The unattainable title, the feeling of being taken away at once.
The unattainable woman turned out to be her rival in love......
Mi Yao couldn't move, and she was a little weak-hearted, she looked left and right, "What about Cheng Qi?" He asked me to come up. β
"Yes, he asked you to come up because he wanted me to ask if there was anything else we could do for you." Gu Xi said.
Mi Yao felt a little fooled, she said, "I have known him for a long time, and you should know my relationship with him." So what do you mean by that now? You are also a person with status, so if you are facing a great enemy, don't you think that the price is cheap? What's more, this is a matter between me and Cheng Qi. β
Gu Xi sat behind the table and said very calmly, "I'm sorry, Cheng Qi is already married, so this is our family's business." β
This is, our family thing!
When there is a junior, many women accuse that women should not embarrass women.
But few people say that husband and wife are one, this is our family's business.
Is she defending her family, or is she controlling her man?
Mi Yao was a little confused, and she said, "Are you warning me?" But I didn't do anything. β
"I think you're mistaken." Gu Xi said, "It's just that it's not appropriate for you to talk to Cheng Qi so rashly today." You probably didn't think about it so much, first, at your age and identity, if you say a few words with Cheng Qi here, some people will give birth to a piece of gossip that they write, direct, and act to entertain others. Even if I talk to you like this, if I am downstairs, it is easy to misunderstand. That's why I'm inviting you in. β
"Second ......" Gu Xi said unhurriedly, "You also have someone to worry about now, and we are doing this out of consideration for you." β
The logic is so clear, she must have a lot of say at home.
But Mi Yao didn't have time to make associations, but her heart was weak, and she wasn't sure if she was surnamed Wang. This woman who had just looked up to her had now become her rival, and things in the world were ridiculous.
There is also exclusion and dislike beyond the words.
Back then, she just wanted to have such an opportunity to speak. This woman, she snatched a qiΔ of her own......
Mi Yao was unwilling, and said stiffly, "You are too sensitive, I just met Cheng Qi and said a few words." β
Gu Xi shook his head, "People who don't know each other at all, what is there to say!" β
"Who says we don't know each other?" Mi Yao said, "I met Cheng Qi when I was 16 years old, and he was the object of my love at first sight. β
Gu Xi said, "I don't want to discuss this with you, because it has nothing to do with me and Cheng Qi." I'm just wondering, is there anything else I can do to help you? Three years ago, before you were refused permanent residence, we asked a lawyer to come to you again, and you refused to give up the agreement. In the end, the visa was permanently denied, and the agreement had to be terminated. β
"That'...... "Your despicable machinations." Mi Yao gritted her teeth, but didn't say it, because saying it could only prove one fact, Cheng Qi didn't have her at all in his heart, and he even hated her.
You have to love someone more, so that you can unconsciously forget that he has hurt yourself and leave only good memories.
"It's my lack of luck," she said. β
Gu Xi's gaze was fixed on her face for a moment, the tea on the table was fragrant, and a faint mist rose, she picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "At that time, I changed the house for your family, and I also left you money for college." But since you don't like it and choose another path, don't give up halfway, seeing Cheng Qi may ruin your efforts for so long. β
Mi Yao was finally sure she knew.
She said, "You ...... You still have news from me? β
Gu Xi said, "Mr. Wang's wife is an extremely powerful person. β
In a word, they already know their own details.
Mi Yao closed her mouth tightly, feeling a little like meat on a cutting board.
"I didn't really want to do anything, I just wanted to talk to him when I saw him," she said. I also...... Incapable of doing anything. She raised her hand, rubbed it on her face, steadied her feelings, and said, "I always ask myself, if I were given a chance, when I was 16 years old, would I like to see that person again." I think about ...... almost every night."
She turned around and walked towards the door, with her back to Gu Xi, she helped the doorknob and said, "I don't regret it." If it weren't for that year, I would never have known him. To know him, I feel like I'll want to do it for the rest of my life. Do you dare to sue him for this sentence? β
After speaking, without waiting for Gu Xi to speak, she opened the door and went out.
Gu Xi walked to the window, the position where Cheng Qi had just stood, through the large floor-to-ceiling window, she could see the position where she had sat earlier, but at this time, she had changed her position, and Cheng Qi was seated, and there was Yu Zishan next to her.
There was a knock at the door, and she looked back.
Cheng Jin came in with his two children in his arms.
Gu Xi hurriedly stretched out his hand to take the child.
Cheng Jin said, "What did she say to you?" β
Gu Xi shook his son and said, "I didn't say anything, just said that she didn't want to do anything, she just wanted to say a few words to your brother." β
"Whoever wants to talk to her, my brother doesn't want to stand with her. What else did you say? β
"It's nothing, just say that she doesn't regret seeing your brother when she was 16 years old, and ask me if I dare to tell your brother."
Cheng Jin laughed, "Then do you want to talk about it?" β
Gu Xi said, "I can't say this, as soon as I say it, your brother will definitely drive her to Tibet in anger, and you are not allowed to say it." β
Cheng Jinyi smiled brightly, he walked to the window, looked over there and said, "My brother is on fire today, if you want to hear that again, it's too cheap to go to Tibet, and he will find someone to inform his wife surnamed Wang." β
Gu Xi sighed and said, "Then your brother won't be so ruthless." She thought of the Mi Yao she had seen before, the girl's back, leaving her with a wound in her heart in the cold night. And now, it's a world away. Without the education and training that the Cheng family spent on her outside, only she and Cheng Qi knew what this girl had lost.
"Actually, I really don't understand, why do you want to see her in person, just find someone else to send her." Cheng Jin said, "People who don't have anything to do with it. β
Gu Xi turned around and went back to sitting, she picked up her teacup and drank it slowly, her son sat on her lap, she also had her own plans, but she didn't want to talk to Cheng Jin, so she said, "...... Your brother, I'm just looking for an opportunity, I don't want others to talk to me more. β
Cheng Jin turned his head to look at her, and after a long time, he leaned over and said, "Sister-in-law, you know why my brother is thinking in his heart." No wonder he loves you so much. β
Gu Xi stretched out her hand to hold her daughter's hand, her daughter sat in Cheng Jin's arms, she shook her daughter's little hand, smiled and said softly, "If you get married in the future, you must also find someone who understands you, so that life will be interesting." It's the kind of person who really understands you. Nowadays, when people get married, most of them think that it is enough for the other party to have something they like, but your brother and I both think that the most important thing is to understand each other. β
Cheng Jin looked at her fixedly, he liked to listen to his sister-in-law the most, this kind of emotion was flexible and beautiful, like he had never experienced, the gentleness of women, the warmth of his mother, their family, what they lacked the most was this flexibility, Cheng Si once said to him in private, he felt that God favored Gu Xi too much, and simply those beautiful women's qualities were given to her. And their family lacks this.
Gu Xi's appearance, in the past three years, has been like an unfathomable net, turning their family into one.
He said with emotion, "Sister-in-law, I suddenly understood one thing today. β
"What?"
"It turns out that many people's love is self-inflicted, you say yes, I don't know why I love that person. When I fall in love in the future, I will definitely show it to you first, and I will like it if you think it is good. β
Gu Xi smiled: "...... Love that's so easy. Of course, I want to understand because I love it. β
"Then you say." Cheng Jin suddenly pointed outside, "What do you say about that person, what will you say to my brother?" How can you say so long? β
Gu Xi looked out the window, the angle here was too high, he couldn't see the lawn, he could only see the blue sky and white clouds, and there were birds in the sky spreading their wings, lightly crossing the sky.
The following two love rivals who don't know each other, in fact, she doesn't know, what they will say.
