Chapter 23: A Campus Walk
Leaving Xiang Ke's office, Lingche was in a bit of a trance all afternoon, and no matter where he went, he always felt that someone was pointing and whispering behind him. No matter how strong she is disguised, she doesn't even have the courage to look at that photo, how can she withstand the gossip that hits her back?
There is always no shortage of gossip in the office, and Xiang Ke's new girlfriend and the gossip that accompanies her are enough to bring a heavyweight shock to the boring work life. Fortunately, everyone has been in the legal circle for a long time, and they have all become human spirits, and the four words that come out of their mouths are very clear in their hearts, since people don't mind Xiang Ke, everyone is not good at showing anything, in front of and behind people, except for a trace of weirdness in their eyes, they can still maintain pretending not to know about their basic face.
For Lingche, Xiao Min originally complained, complaining that she shouldn't have been with Lawyer Xiang but didn't tell her, and hid behind her back to watch herself get into trouble, and after talking freely with Ding Lin, she gradually understood Lingche's distress. In the morning, when she saw such an email that hurt Lingche, as a friend, she naturally stepped forward, thinking that she had helped both Lingche and Lawyer Xiang, and the previous unwillingness had completely turned into sympathy
So, she and Ding Lin naturally played the role of flower messengers, and they were very diligent in helping Lingche deal with all kinds of things that needed to be handled by walking, ensuring that Lingche tried not to contact more colleagues and avoid embarrassment. They know each other tacitly, in the office building, there is new gossip every day, and when this period of time passes, everything will be light.
Before getting off work, Xiang Ke appeared at the door of Lingche's office on time and knocked on the door, "Lingling, it's time to get off work." ”
Ling Che smiled awkwardly, gently took Xiang Ke's hand, and left the office under the envious eyes of everyone.
"Would you like a candlelit dinner?" Xiang Ke smiled.
"No need." Lingche shook his head: "I want to be alone. ”
"Okay." Xiang Ke Bang Lingche stopped a taxi, kissed her forehead gently, and said softly, "Call me when you get home." ”
Ling Che smiled and nodded at him, as Xiang Ke's figure became farther and farther away, tears finally couldn't help it and poured out.
The taxi drove Lingche in the direction of home, Lingche was in a trance, but he didn't want his mother to see his lost soul and add to his sadness, and said softly: "Master, please turn around." ”
"Oh." The master promised, "Girl, where are you going?" ”
Ling Che thought for a long time and said, "S big." ”
Lingche didn't know why, and suddenly wanted to take a walk at his alma mater. Perhaps this campus carries too many beautiful and painful pasts. In the evening, it was the time after class, and a couple walked past Lingche holding hands, thinking that back then, she and Jia Rui were also a sweet couple, and they once thought that the world was so long, but they were so vulnerable. Unconsciously, Lingche walked to the playground, in the alumni column, she saw the once young Xiang Ke, his cold face was like carved out of a knife, the lines were clear and handsome, but his eyes that should have been youthful and confident were full of haze, could it be that Xiang Ke was the melancholy male god that his roommate had been talking about all day long? Thinking of Xiang Ke at that time, he was immersed in the deep self-blame of his mother's death and couldn't extricate himself, Lingche actually felt a little distressed. Where I have walked countless times, why have I never noticed this photo, Lingche shook his head in confusion, at that time, his heart was full of Jia Rui, how could he tolerate others?
Walking quietly along the path, the breeze blowing on her face, bringing a burst of spring breath, from childhood to adulthood, there have been countless such evenings, she jumped and accompanied her father on the way home. But at this moment, Dad is just a faded black and white photo in the alumni column, but what remains in her heart is a lingering pain.
It turns out that everything will disappear, Lingche looked at the immature and unfamiliar faces on the road, and an indescribable sentimentality welled up in his heart, they will eventually be like me, going their separate ways, and being tired by life.
"Lingche, is it really you?" Professor Wu smiled and nodded at Lingche, "Jia Rui, when are you going to get married, don't forget to invite the old man to drink my wedding wine?" ”
Lingche turned his head suddenly, and actually saw Jia Rui two or three meters behind him, looking at her back stupidly.
Jia Rui walked up awkwardly and said with a smile: "It's almost time, I'll definitely invite you then." ”
"Okay, would you like to come to my office and sit down?" Professor Wu said.
"See you another day, Professor." Jia Rui said goodbye to Professor Wu.
Ling Che stared at him tightly, with an incredible face, the sunny boy she once loved deeply, when did his face be full of sadness, it looked like such a decadent vicissitudes!
"Lingling, this place is so nice, I really want to go back to when I was in school." Jia Rui smiled awkwardly.
"We can't go back." Lingche's voice was a little hoarse, and she raised her eyes to look at Jia Rui, "Why are you here?" Are you stalking me? ”
"I, I, I have something to ask you." The hope in Jia Rui's eyes gradually dissipated, as if covered with a faint mist, and he looked so sad.
Ling Che suddenly wanted to reach out to help him smooth his frowning brows, but he was faintly shocked in his heart, and withdrew his hand, they couldn't go back after all!
"What's the matter?" Lingche said.
"Qin Jing is pregnant." Jia Rui's voice trembled, and he said quietly, "I want to beg you to let her go." ”
"It turned out to be her, and I was still thinking, how could anyone else get that picture? It turned out to be someone I once loved, who stabbed me hard. “
Once loved! Four words of understatement have sent the relationship between the two from heaven to hell. Jia Rui held back tears and knelt down in front of Lingche: "Lingling, it's all my fault that I lost you, I will send an email to clarify our relationship, I will persuade Qin Jing to report and resign and leave the company with me, the child in Qin Jing's belly is innocent, please, let her go?" ”
Lingche smiled and looked at Jia Rui, he used to be so radiant. He who was as bright as the sun back then, who had promised her a lifetime, was crying like a child at the moment, just begging her to let go of the woman who hurt her. But she also hurt Xiang Ke. You want to protect those you love, and how can I allow others to trample on those I love? ”
"I promise, I promise there won't be another time, Lingling, give her a chance to mend her ways, okay?" Garry pleaded. "Good", the first time she saw Jia Rui so lost and depressed, Lingche actually felt a trace of heartache, and couldn't bear to look directly at his sadness anymore, she turned away without looking back.
Jia Rui, who received an affirmative answer, sat on the ground, hugged his head and cried.
From a distance, Xiang Ke looked at the backs of the two of them with a hint of distraction, his hands trembled, and he couldn't help but dial Lingche's phone.
On the other end of the phone, the sweet voice of the customer service lady came: "The phone you dialed is on the phone." ”
Over and over again, I reluctantly dialed it out, and the sound was still the same. He was a little discouraged, and let out a long howl at the sky, the pain caused by Liu Can's betrayal in the past could not withstand the sadness and loss at this moment.
The phone rang suddenly, and when he saw Lingche's name, Xiang Ke's heart suddenly became transparent, and Lingche's complaining voice came from his ears: "Why have you been on the phone?" Who have you been talking to for so long? ”
Xiang Ke's smile suddenly appeared on his face, but he heard Lingche say, "Xiao Ke, where are you?" I miss you so much. ”
"Where are you, I'll look for you." Xiang Kedao.
"I'm at the S big west gate. How soon will you be able to come? “
Xiang Ke ran towards the west gate: "Soon, you count from 1 to 100 and I will arrive." “
"Ahh Ling Che exclaimed, and he was already kissed in his arms by Xiang Ke domineeringly.
After a long time, Lingche's face was full of red clouds, and she hid in Xiang Ke's arms in shame, and said softly, "Why did you come so fast?" ”
"I'm worried about you, Lingling, I didn't mean to follow you." Xiang Ke said: "You know what? Just now, seeing Lin Jiarui also following you, thinking of everything that happened to the two of you on this campus, I went crazy with jealousy. ”
Ling Che stared at Xiang Ke with wide eyes, his eyes full of smiles.
"But now, I'm happy because I know that the future belongs to us."
"Xiang Ke, there are memories of my childhood and my first love on this campus, but what I want to find most is about the missing piece of you. Thinking that you used to study here, I wanted to try to find it and see if I could find a little bit of your shadow back then. “
A trace of hesitation drifted through Xiang Ke's eyes, and he asked tentatively, "Have you found it?" “
"Found it." Ling Che smiled, took out his mobile phone as he spoke, and flipped out the photo of Xiang Ke that he had just taken in the alumni column and showed it to him: "You were so good-looking when you were young, many girls must like you, right?" “
"You treat me like a baby." Xiang Ke smiled: "What do you mean when you are young, am I very old now?" ”
"Now you give people the illusion that the city is very deep, and ordinary girls don't dare to get too close, so I'm not afraid." Lingche said. "If you go back to the past, you are so handsome, I am afraid that I will not dare to puff up my tone and say that I love you."
Xiang Ke hugged Lingche tightly, recalling his past self, he was too young at that time, he was afraid of losing everything, and meeting the beautiful Liu Can was like grabbing the last straw, longing for family affection, he refused the warmth of home but couldn't refuse the girl who was once full of youth. Immersed in love, he was ruthlessly tricked by fate. Time passed, and he could put down all his baggage and look at the stubborn and poor hairy young man in the past, but he didn't dare to imagine what would happen if Lingche left him one day. He kissed Lingche's hair lightly and said softly, "Lingling, thank you, thank you for choosing me in the end." ”
Ling Che said: "Xiao Ke, today's matter, is it okay to end here?" “
Xiang Ke was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand, looked at Ling Che in puzzlement, but said in his mouth: "Okay." As long as you're happy. “
Ling Che nodded gratefully, Xiang Ke, who thought it would take a lot of trouble to convince, actually agreed to her so easily. For her, he did not hesitate to be laughed at by colleagues in the whole company, did not hesitate to tear his face with his original boss, and did not hesitate to use favors to ask the chairman to uphold justice, but he completely let go of everything just because of her forgiveness. How could this heart not move her?
