Chapter 5
The night went on.
As soon as Ye Ziqing walked out of the door of the hotel, he saw Li Hao leaning against a black car, playing with the mobile phone in his hand.
A handmade suit, put on his slender and straight body, it looks even more handsome. She thought that any woman would get lost in his world if she saw him. The woman who can be loved by him must be very happy, but this person will definitely not be her. It's not because she has always had someone living in her heart, but she feels that she doesn't deserve him, maybe it's time to make a decision.
When Li Hao saw her, the smile on his face became more gentle, and he beckoned to her. She smiled and walked over, "Yo, handsome guy, alone, about." She winked her eyes at him and teased him mischievously.
"My charges are very high!" He also imitated her tone and joked.
Ye Ziqing laughed and said, "No problem." I pulled the door and sat down automatically. He also got into the car, and the car slid out like a cloud of water. It's just that the two of them laughed happily, but they didn't notice that the person standing at the door of the hotel had a lost look on his face, as if he had been abandoned, and his back was so cold.
The two drove to a Western-style restaurant, which had an Italian feel. The dΓ©cor is cosy and pleasant, with an antique atmosphere and romantic open-air seating.
They sat down in the open-air seats and ordered two set menus. When the waiter brought the meal, Ye Ziqing took a fork and ate it, a little wolfing. She actually didn't know how to face him, and she didn't know how to say the next topic. "Eat slowly, are you so hungry?" He also saw her awkward state of mind, and he didn't want to push her too hard.
Li Hao met Ye Ziqing five years ago.
At that time, he received an invitation from his former professor to come back to the school for a business show. After the end, he refused to be retained by the teachers and wanted to take a good look at the changes in the school in recent years.
He walked alone on the tree-lined paths of the campus, and he still remembered that day, on the clear blue sky, the sun was shining brightly, and the breeze was blowing slowly, which was very pleasant. Just when he wanted to enjoy this good time, a slight sobbing sound came.
At the time, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but curiosity led him to follow the sound. Under a large tree, a girl whimpered low with her head curled up on her knees. He sat beside the girl and stayed with her quietly. It wasn't until the girl found that someone next to her stopped crying, raised her head slowly, her clear eyes were red and swollen, tears were in her eyes, and she looked at him blankly and weakly. It's like a child who has lost his way and is so helpless.
Li Hao looked at her slightly red and swollen eyes, but it was not difficult to see that her eyes were beautiful. It's like a bottomless gloom, so indifferent and sad. He wanted to know what could make her so sad, and he didn't know why he looked at her, he felt distressed, and wanted to protect her and help her wipe her tears.
He hadn't sorted out the inexplicable emotions in his heart, his hand was almost over his brain, and he reached out to help her wipe away the remaining tears on her face, "Don't cry." β
Ye Ziqing realized that he was a little out of shape, and quickly wiped away his tears, and after a while, he said, "Don't you know that it's rude to watch a beautiful woman cry?" It's so exciting. She complained, maybe because she had just cried, and her voice was hoarse and a little nasal, but it was also so beautiful.
Hearing her words, he couldn't help laughing, looking at her crying red eyes, some tears were still hanging on the eyelashes and shining with crystal light, her hair was fluffy, and her nose was red because of her rubbing just now, but it was also cute. He couldn't help laughing, "Well, it's still a big beauty." Hahahaha...... "In the end, he couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
Ye Ziqing felt inexplicably wonderful, what was funny, but looking at him laughing, laughing and laughing, she didn't know why she laughed too.
The two of them laughed for a while and then stopped, Ye Ziqing looked at the man in front of him and asked him, "Hey, thank you, I'm much better." What's your name. β
"My name is Li Hao, can you tell me why you're crying?" He was curious about what could make this girl who looked so lively cry like this, and he couldn't help but ask for a moment.
Ye Ziqing paused when he heard this, and looked into the distance, his empty eyes without any focus. Then he replied, "Do you say that there is really a relationship in this world that will never be separated from death, they all say that love is very beautiful, but why do I, here, hurt so much." She pointed to the place of her heart, then looked back at him, "Is love good or bad?" β
Seeing her eyes, his heart froze, he took a few steps forward to cover it up, and then said casually, "Good love is when you see the whole world through one person, and bad love is when you give up the world for one person." He glanced back at her and continued, "Ask what is the situation in the world, and the straight man promises life and death. It turned out that she cried because of love, is anyone willing to hurt such a good girl He thought bitterly, if it was him, he would definitely be reluctant.
They chatted like this for an afternoon, and both of them felt very chatty, and gradually the two of them became more connected.
He even accepted an offer from the school to come back once a week to speak. Just to see her occasionally, he didn't understand it himself, but his intuition told him that this seemingly strong but weak girl needed his protection.
It's all for the sake of this girl in front of you. He came back to his senses and saw that the girl in front of him was still so uncute, it had been so many years, and it was still distressing.
Looking at Ye Ziqing, he suddenly felt a sense of frustration, feeling powerless in a woman for the first time. has been by her side for five years, whether she is happy or sad or sick, whether she needs it or not, he is always the first to appear by her side, she is not only grateful to him but also a faint alienation, he knows that this feeling suffocates him.
It's been five years, and she still hasn't told him the story of the person in her heart. Perhaps, he still can't give her a sense of security, and he can't get her full trust.
He simply wanted to give her a strong support, so that she would no longer cry and be sad.
But he couldn't do anything, and she still didn't want him to live in her heart. Therefore, he wants to give himself a chance, maybe the chance of success is very small and slim, and he also wants to let it go.
Therefore, he confessed his feelings to her half a month ago and gave her half a month's buffer time, and today is the deadline.
Ye Ziqing didn't dare to look at him, so he could only eat the rice on the plate, thinking about how to speak later. Even the person opposite looked at her dotingly, but she didn't notice it.
Li Hao looked at her expression and knew what her answer was, and he smiled bitterly. But he still didn't want to give up, he didn't hear her say it in person, he didn't want to die. He didn't believe that she still had that person in her heart after so many years, and his company couldn't withstand the harm that person had done to her.
He sighed lightly, thinking that he Li Hao is also a golden bachelor, the fifth king of masonry, how many women drive away evil, but this woman is ...... He considers himself handsome and handsome, suave, gentle and considerate, mature and charming. In her career, she is famous, why can't she get into her eyes! He was even more curious about the person in her heart, what kind of person made her unforgettable, but hurt her the most.
He put down his fork and looked at the people who had been immersed in eating, and finally chose to speak, "Ziqing, have you thought about it?" β
Ye Ziqing paused for a moment, put down the food he just wanted to put in his mouth, picked up the boiled water on the table and took a sip and put it down gently. She took a breath and looked at him, "I, I'm sorry. She plucked up her courage and said. Hearing her words, his heart still hurt uncontrollably, a lost smile flashed on his face, and he returned to normal in an instant. In the end, he still heard the words that made him die, and he sighed in his heart, "Why, am I really not as good as the person in your heart?" β
Ye Ziqing looked at him in surprise, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked puzzled. He seemed to understand her expression, and said to her, "I know, you still can't forget him?" His grim face was so serious and serious that she had to answer.
She stood up and walked slowly to the railing that surrounded the terrace, resting her hands lightly on it. The coldness that came through the railing made the heart cold. She looked at the brightly lit city below, and no matter how beautiful the night scene was, it couldn't warm her cold heart.
"It's not that I can't forget it, it's not that I don't want to forget it, it's just that that person has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and fused together." She couldn't forget that person, she admitted it. She closed her eyes and felt the cool breeze gently brush her cheeks, enjoying the moment.
He looked greedily at her expression at the moment, not wanting to break the time that seemed like a stolen moment to him. He was silent for a few moments before he walked over and stood side by side with her.
Eventually, he broke the silence and looked at the city at night, his heart was a little indifferent. "How long?" he asked, his eyes closed as she did, letting the cool breeze blow away the irritation in his heart, waiting for her answer.
She opened her clear eyes, and she couldn't see the wetness under her eyes in the night. She didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him silently, waiting for his next step.
"I said, how long will it take you to get him out of your heart, maybe I can wait."
She was a little surprised, she thought she had made it clear, she thought for a moment, "Have you ever heard that fish only have a seven-second memory?" She continued, "It is often said that fish only have seven seconds of memory, but do you know that when these seven seconds are full of a person's memory, who can stuff it into the next seven seconds? It's like a cup overflowing with water, how can it carry more things. β
However, the fish only remembers for seven seconds, and after seven seconds it does not remember the past, and everything becomes a new beginning. Even if the cup is overflowing, it can be poured out and refilled. He retorted to her words, disapproving.
I heard that the memory of fish is only seven seconds. One day, 24 hours, 1,440 minutes, 56,400 seconds. The world has been turned upside down 12,343 times, blurring the past and not seeing the future, but every moment of them is new, even if there is no memory.
But I'd rather be a fish, and after seven seconds, I can forget everything. Putting yourself out of memory is like a fish stranded on the beach......
The car stopped smoothly under Ye Ziqing's apartment, she looked at him and didn't know how to speak, and hesitated, "Senior, I'll go first, thank you for dinner." As soon as her finger touched the car door, she heard him say "I can wait, and I am willing to wait, no matter how many seven seconds, until the moment you forget, start again." He looked back at her with deep eyes
The eyes are serious and serious.
"People's memories are lifelong, and what you think you can forget will actually be remembered forever. But I'm not a fish, not that many seven seconds. She shook her head slightly, her eyes empty and unfocused, looking far ahead.
"Maybe I'll try to forget that day. So, senior, I'm sorry, but you actually deserve someone better, so why bother! β
He showed a bitter smile that she couldn't see, as if he had really figured it out, and smiled lightly, "Okay, then let's be best friends!" I'll always be here for as long as you need me, you know. He reached over and stroked her hair dotingly, "Girl, if you haven't forgotten him, don't forget him." You have to know that you don't need to work hard to really forget. β
"Got it, thanks." She had the happiest and most beautiful smile of the evening. The original awkward and heavy atmosphere also became relaxed, "Then I'll go, I wish you to find happiness as soon as possible." She said with a pun, hoping that he would understand.
She got out of the car, waved at him, and ran upstairs.
At that moment, his smiling face slowly drooped, and his dark eyes became dull, as if he had lost the whole world, it was so sad. "No matter how good a person is, it's not you, say I'm persistent, why don't you."
He looked at her back, and a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
Many people, under the strong exterior, have a fragile heart.
