Chapter 61: Domineering Gentleness
The moment Ji Ling appeared, the clusters of flowers in the garden were eclipsed.
Her beauty makes her heart tremble.
Her beauty made the VIPs can't help but offer the warmest applause and the most sincere wishes.
Surrounded by teenagers and girls, Ji Ling walked through the arch of white roses symbolizing the annual rings step by step, and the VIPs followed behind her, while Han Xu walked at the back of the line, accompanying Ji Ling through the arch of eighteen white roses, symbolizing the eighteen years of youth together.
The graceful and luxurious Mrs. Ji with a cane stood at the end of the arch and looked at Ji Ling with a loving face.
When Ji Ling walked in front of her, Mrs. Ji said softly: "Ling'er, after tonight, you will be an adult, thank God for giving you to the Ji family, you are the continuation of our Ji family's bloodline, grandma is glad for herself, there is such a beautiful, pure, kind, lovely good granddaughter as you." ”
"Haha, Mrs. Ji has such a beautiful granddaughter, it's really enviable."
"Ling'er has grown up, I haven't seen her for many years, and she is so beautiful."
"That's right, Mrs. Ji was a big beauty when she was young, and if the genes are here, our Ling'er must also be a big beauty."
The guests complimented Ji Ling one after another, and Mrs. Ji couldn't close her mouth with a smile.
Ji Ling, who was standing on the side, seemed to be a little absent-minded, his eyes looked around from time to time, as if he was looking for someone else, but there were people around, and he couldn't find it at all, and his heart suddenly became empty.
After talking with the guests, Mrs. Ji took Ji Ling's hand again and said with emotion: "Now that Ling'er is one year older, and grandma is one year older, you have to walk well in the future." ”
Ji Ling's eyes were red: "Grandma, Ling'er will accompany grandma in the future." ”
"Okay, okay, let's go together." Mrs. Ji touched Ji Ling's hand, turned her head to look at everyone, and said with a smile: "Thank you for being able to attend my granddaughter's birthday party in your busy schedule. ”
"Mrs. Ji, the birthday star sings to us, haha, I have an ear blessing today."
"That is, my daughter said that Ling'er sings well, much better than those singers."
Everyone's applause was warm, and they all stood around the garden to make room for Ji Ling, and suddenly, the garden dome lit up with four orange chasing lights, fluttering over the dark garden, creating a quiet and hazy atmosphere.
In the middle of the garden, the waiter put a piano, more than a dozen dancing teenagers and girls lined up on both sides, Ji Ling came to the piano and sat down, she was not in a hurry to sing, she looked sideways around, her eyes seemed to be looking for something with inexplicable expectation.
There was a commotion around, and many people noticed that Ji Ling was a little strange.
Old Madam Ji frowned, her eyes shot at Han Xu, who was lying on the railing and eating, and snorted.
"Ji Ling seems to be looking for you." Gu Qianxun leaned on the railing and said.
"You're blinded." Han Xu took a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
"I'm not dazzled." Gu Qianxun said: "It seems that Mrs. Ji treats you as a big bad wolf." ”
Han Xu tilted his head: "How do you say this?" ”
The corner of Gu Qianxun's lips showed a good-looking smile: "She's afraid that you, the big bad wolf, will take her precious granddaughter away." ”
"I'm still worried that Mrs. Ji will dismantle me." Han Xu smiled, and glanced at the two men in black suits who were staring at him in the corridor, and there was a big look that you kid would chop you up and feed you to the dog as long as you got close to Ji Ling.
It was obvious that Mrs. Ji had sent someone to spy on him.
Han Xu smiled, feeling a little strange in his heart that Ji Ling had celebrated his eighteenth birthday, why did Ji Chengxian, as his father, not appear. Maybe he was entertaining those heavyweight guests, thinking so, he turned his eyes and landed on Wang Xijue not far away.
Wang Xijue held a glass of brandy on the rocks, and looked at Ji Ling's eyes full of tenderness.
"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party."
Ji Ling's voice came, and Han Xu's gaze moved to the girl in the center of the garden, and the girl lowered her head and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't want to sing "Seventeen-Year-Old Rainy Season". ”
The commotion was getting louder and louder, and they found that Ji Ling was really weird today, and there was not much joy on his face to celebrate his birthday.
Old Lady Ji's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, she realized that she had underestimated Han Xu's status in Ji Ling's heart, but with her, Han Xu couldn't make any waves, just looking at her granddaughter like this, her heart hurt uncomfortably.
"I want to sing Stefanie Sun's "Beginning to Understand"." Ji Ling's gaze swept over the faces, and he said lightly: "Give it to the person I want to give it to." ”
In the uproar, Ji Ling's fingers on the piano had already moved.
The piano sounded and the skirt swirled.
The air was filled with the smell of perfume, and the backup dancers reacted quickly, and immediately changed to a dance that conformed to the artistic conception, they posed in a rectangular array for a while, and spread out into a circle for a while, the black boys were in the outer circle, and the girls in the white skirts were in the inner circle, and the lace-edged white dress skirts rotated with the girls, like huge white flowers blooming.
With the sound of the piano sounding slowly, Ji Ling's red lips lightly opened:
I didn't even turn around
The most cruel moment
Watch you go
Not like me at all
It turns out that people will become gentle
I understood it clearly
……
The sound of the piano is melodious, and the singing is curling.
The girl's voice was clean and clear, but with inexplicable sadness.
Everyone seems to understand something from the song: the girl who has grown up begins to understand, understands to love, but loves and loves and finds that love is full of helplessness, so, at the most cruel moment, quietly watch you go.
Who is the "you" in Ji Ling's heart?
No one knows, there is only a sigh in their hearts, they listen to Ji Ling's crying singing, but no one is willing to make a little sound to destroy this hazy and beautiful artistic conception, only Ji Ling's singing voice is left in the garden:
Who will be willing to love it very much
Woke me up from my dream
Declare that happiness will not come
I forgave with a sad smile
also crossed over
It's good to have yesterday
But tomorrow is their own
I began to understand that happiness is a choice
……
The singing is still the same, and the hearts of the people are broken, and they are broken by Ji Ling's singing.
Everyone looked quietly at the girl in the middle of the garden, her clear eyes slightly red, her voice seemed to have penetrating power, falling in the ears, clear with green sorrow and pain, along the nerve endings, straight into the most sensitive cerebral cortex, and finally rippled in the bottom of the heart.
Han Xu was silent in his heart.
I began to understand that happiness is a choice.
What is Ji Ling's choice? Is it resignation?
Han Xu didn't know, but looked at the girl and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
He turned his head sideways and looked at Wang Xijue, just as Wang Xijue was also looking at him, the moment the two made eye contact, there was a strong hostility!
Wang Xijue finally realized Han Xu's status in Ji Ling's heart!
Needless to say, Ji Ling's singing voice illustrates a qiē.
Others don't know, he knows that this song is sung to Han Xu!
Thinking like this, an uncontrollable anger surged from the bottom of Wang Xijue's heart, and finally he laughed, his smile was full of mockery, mocking a dead man, right! Han Xu was already a dead man in his heart, he just regretted that he didn't kill Han Xu in Shen Man's house in the first place!
Han Xu laughed and withdrew his gaze.
I don't know how long it took, but the crying song fell, and the garden was still silent, and the girl's singing seemed to have an endless aftertaste.
A moment later, the audience erupted in a tidal wave of applause!
Ji Ling stood up, bowed slightly, and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute, Ling'er."
Wang Xijue drank all the brandy in one gulp, stretched out his hand, and the man in black behind him handed him a bouquet of snow lotus, and then got up and walked towards Ji Ling in a stunned gaze, dressed in a white suit, the earring in his left ear shone like gold, and his innate aristocratic temperament grabbed everyone's eyeballs. Many heroines just glanced at him, and they couldn't take their eyes off and were reluctant to take them away.
This is not an empty Prince Charming, but an emperor with both strength and appearance!
Wang Xijue stopped half a meter away from Ji Ling, he glanced at everyone in the garden below, and raised a finger: "I need to be quiet." ”
The sound dissipated, and the audience fell silent.
Wang Xijue smiled, his smile was warm and lovely, and he turned his head sideways to Ji Ling and said, "Ling'er, do you remember how many days we have known each other?" ”
Ji Ling was a little at a loss: "No, I don't remember." ”
"I remember." Wang Xijue held the bouquet of snow lotus and said, "3710 days, ten years and two months." ”
He stared at Ji Ling with smiling eyes, gentle enough to melt the ice, and also couldn't take his eyes off the girls around him, the strong and gentle temperament on his body was something that no girl could resist, but unfortunately, there was only a princess in the prince's eyes.
"Ling'er, what does 3710 days mean? Growing up together and spending the best time of my life together, I will never forget these 3,710 days with you. ”
Wang Xijue's eyes were soft: "Ling'er, I still remember that once, I bought a bunch of snow lotus and gave it to you, after a few days the snow lotus withered, Ling'er, you are very sad, I am stupid to say that the snow lotus will die when she is old, Ling'er, you cry and say that we don't grow up, we have to be together like now." ”
Wang Xijue raised his hand and put the white and transparent snow lotus in front of Ji Ling's eyes: "The snow lotus will wither sooner or later, we will grow up after all, but we are still the same as before." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xijue."
Ji Ling took the snow lotus, and her heart was inexplicably moved, she didn't expect Wang Xijue to remember such distant things.
"I'll never want to hear you say 'thank you' to me." Wang Xijue shook his head, his tone was domineering but his voice was gentle: "Because this is my mission." Ling'er, when we used to go out to play together, Grandma Ji would always tell me: Xijue, take good care of Ling'er. I've always remembered this sentence. ”
"Okay, very good, Xijue, you have a lot of heart, Ling'er was very naughty when she was young, thank you for taking care of Ling'er all these years." Old Mrs. Ji laughed heartily, looking at Wang Xijue's gaze as if she was looking at her future grandson-in-law.
"Grandma, but I still don't think it's enough."
Wang Xijue said abruptly: "3710 days is too short, I don't have time to accompany Ling'er to go where she wants to go, eat the food she wants to eat, and do what she wants to do." ”
He raised his eyes and looked at Ji Ling affectionately: "So, Ling'er, I must take care of you for the rest of my life!" ”
Wang Xijue knelt down on one knee, took out a red box from his pocket, opened it, revealing a diamond ring that shone brightly, and then he held Ji Ling's left hand, his movements were strong and gentle, and he directly put the ring on Ji Ling's ring finger, representing the connection with her heart.
Wang Xijue looked at Ji Ling's eyes and said affectionately, "Let's get engaged, Ling'er." ”
Dead.
The scene froze.
The whole garden was shocked by this sudden scene, as if the picture was frozen.
But after a moment of silence, the overwhelming applause almost broke Han Xu's eardrums!
