Chapter Forty-Three: Goodbye, I Used to Be
Tang Sibin sped up to fill his stomach, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, followed Tang Siqing into the kitchen, and cleaned up with her as usual. Because the previous conversation was too urgent, both of them were a little embarrassed, and the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.
"I'm sorry!" After a long silence, the two spoke in unison, but they said the same sentence with a clear heart.
The two were silent, and Tang Sibin sighed and said, "I'm still sorry, after all, you are also for my good." You hope that I will not repeat your mistakes, and do everything for me, so that I don't have to take detours in the first place, and the so-called winning at the starting line is about what it means. However, you can only bring me five years of the future, and who knows if these five years will change because of your arrival? Do you dare to say that your decisions are all the right ones? β
Tang Siqing didn't dare, there are as many ways to live as there are people in the world, and there is no right or wrong in all choices, only good and bad. She could only frown and say to him, "I don't dare, but at least it can make your life easier in the future." Me, I've experienced enough of those bad things, and there's no need for you to go through them again. I don't want to see you still confused, whether it's study, life, career or love, I hope that once you want to do it, you can do it well. I bring future experience and we all have a reason to live better......"
"So, you can control my life?" Tang Sibin interrupted her and frowned, "Don't use us as an excuse that we were the same person, I also believe that I will live well if I do what you do." But, but you know, that feeling that everything is out of your own hands...... Makes me feel terrible. β
"So I'm going to apologize." Tang Siqing took the clean dishes and chopsticks in his hand and placed them, "Now that I think about it, it's been too smooth for this period of time, and I'm a little overconfident and getting carried away." When I tell you what to do, I should give you a few more options. β
Tang Sibin smiled bitterly: "So what? That's just an option you gave me. β
"I think all the options I can give you are the ones you will make, don't forget ......"
"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, we were originally alone." Tang Sibin waved his hand out of the kitchen, "Then you can also let me make my own choice?" Where did Yu Zhiyan offend you? Do you want me to test her ** affection, is that necessary? If you want to love, you love deeply, is it interesting to play with other people's feelings with those empty heads? You're fed up with being a woman now and can be willful, but I'm a man, and men should stick to their bottom line, do you understand now? β
Swish! Tang Siqing, who was following him, turned pale all of a sudden.
Yes, I'm not a man anymore, so what's the reason to criticize him for being a man? Yes, when I was still him, I would never accept other people's arrangements, even if it was for my own good. There is no particular reason, just the self-esteem of the male soul.
Even if the person who made the arrangement came to another self, the future self has changed, like a familiar stranger. He's right, and he's a woman indeed. Just as he would feel naΓ―ve and innocent when he looked at himself as himself, he would also feel strange when he looked at himself.
What kind of person would I be in his eyes? Selfish? Power? Interest-only doctrine? It doesn't matter, it's all the same, anyway, the innocent Tang Sibin is no longer there, and he is just a self-righteous woman.
Tang Sibin didn't look back, he didn't see her face turn pale in an instant. As he walked, he said to himself: "You keep saying that it is for my good and for my good, and I am tired of listening to it." At first, I was moved, but the more I felt that you were selfishly trying to prove yourself right. Yes, after three years, there may no longer be 'Tang Siqing', or I will become the second 'Tang Siqing' and you will return to the future where you should be, and I understand that you are eager to leave traces of your existence. But you can't do the worst just because you prepared for the worst. β
"I know you've given a lot, but you don't care anything in return. You can tell me what aspect of my study should be strengthened, and take care of my life so that I have more time to work hard; Xingui Company was established, and you can give me half of your shares without hesitation. I was impressed, but ...... But that's not what I want, and now you're like those harsh moms in TV dramas, not another me. So why don't you want to think about what I want at this stage before asking me to do anything? β
"After all, I'm still Tang Sibin, not you after going through so many twists and turns in the future. You only told me that there would be a disaster in our family, but you didn't tell me what you experienced as Tang Siqing. Don't you want me to be terrified of that future? Well, all the same, I only see you who are mercenary, and I don't want much. β
Tang Sibin didn't dare to look back when he spoke, he was afraid that as soon as he looked back at her, he would not be able to say many words. He walked slowly to the living room, picked up the tablecloth placed on the coffee table, and pretended to wipe the marks on the coffee table after the meal, so meticulous that he didn't dare to look up at her when he turned around.
If he looked up, he would see Tang Siqing's head lowered, and when he went home, his hair that was loosely scattered covered her face, hiding her face in the dark, and the lips that could be seen were bitten by her fiercely, and the blood was so pale.
"So, what do you want?" In the middle of the night, she asked him in a hoarse voice.
Tang Sibin seemed to have lost all his strength, and replied to her in the same deep voice: "What I want is for each of us to strive for what we want." As Tang Siqing, you can pursue your interests to prove yourself, and you don't have to distort yourself for me, and you don't have to pay what you don't need to pay...... Maybe you haven't been around long and should live well for yourself; And I, as Tang Sibin, just want a happy life, and I don't care how many things others don't have. Thank you for telling me what I will encounter at home in the future, I will make myself strong through my own efforts, I can convince my father, and even have the ability to expose the person who deceived my parents and live up to my parents' expectations of my son. In that case, everything will be fine; Even if I am destined to be the second Tang Siqing, I am still their child, and I can still live a good life......"
Tang Siqing leaned weakly on the door frame of the kitchen: "Yes, five years ago, I was still at this time of your time, I never thought about what I wanted to do in the future, I felt that if my home was safe and stable, I would be able to live a carefree life, my requirements for you are too high, and I only bring you pressure." You haven't been through the most unbearable two years like me, how can you be like me. It's me who is wrong, it's all wrong. In the beginning, I just need to tell you what you have to do, and I shouldn't ask you to do anything. β
Tang Sibin responded in a low voice: "You have now lived up to your heart, you have to impose too high expectations on me, people don't have to reach the pinnacle of life to come to the world in their lives." Really, sister, Tang Siqing, you go and pursue what you want to pursue, I already know what to do. β
"Are you going to drive me away? Do you hate me that much? Tang Siqing's voice was full of tears.
Tang Sibin shook his head: "When you said this, did you pass through your brain sulcus that was distorted by change?" β
"People sometimes hate themselves, especially when we're two people now." Tang Siqing said in a low voice, "I know, you want me to make it easier and spend this may be my last three years." β
"And you still say things like that?" Tang Sibin looked up angrily, and then he saw her immersed in darkness, and his heart was inexplicably empty.
As if sensing his gaze, she also raised her head slightly, staring at his expression that turned to surprise angrily: "What I want to pursue, I want to give you." Knowing that I may not have a future, I can only prove that I have been here by leaving what I have obtained in you. And yet you rejected me. If you don't need to, then what's the value of my presence here? β
Tang Sibin was dumbfounded.
Yes, when a person is so selfish that it is all for others, what right does the person who has obtained all the selfishness have to blame him?
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you like me or hate me. You'll understand later, anyway, you already know what to do in the future, and you won't go to the worst point again. Tang Siqing shook her hair to make herself more energetic, "Tang Sibin, you remember, I, Tang Siqing, have never been sorry for you, even if I told you I'm sorry just now." It's also for you to let you follow Yu Zhiyan, can't you see her potential now? β
Tang Sibin frowned, stiffened his neck and said, "What else can you see now besides coveting the interests of those who appear around you?" I am in charge of my love, and I don't need you to teach me! Even if I really get together with Zhiyan one day, it's definitely not because of you, but because I really love her. I don't look at the people around me with your snobbish eyes, always have been, always have. β
"Whatever you want." Tang Siqing went back to her room, took a headband and tied her hair into a big ponytail, "I am very satisfied with your performance now, at least because I have changed you." I'm still 'Don Sibin' at this time, and I don't know what I want at all. You know, you're doing it, I'm relieved. β
Tang Sibin finally sensed what Tang Siqing's sudden change of attitude meant, he quickly got up, wanting to stop her, but when he stood up straight, he didn't have the courage to take a step in front of her. I could only stand there stunned, watching her begin to pack her luggage, stuffing her suitcase one by one, covering it, and then putting the bits and pieces into her satchel.
She passed in front of him, stopped in front of him, looked at him deeply, then quickly turned around and said to him with a side face, "I'm leaving, I'm going to do what I want, as you expect." β
Tang Sibin panicked, his eyes were indescribably complicated, he raised his hand and wanted to reach over and hold her, but those words were said by himself just now, and then she did what he said, what reason did he have to stop her?
He could only withdraw his hand helplessly, and asked her in a loud voice, "Are you going to find Wen Muxue?" Don't you just want to take advantage of her? Is it true that a person who has been used by you makes you feel that you can rely on you more than you once were, that is, me? Could it be that I want you to easily spend less than three years on it, and I want to give yourself a choice? β
"You're not wrong, and I don't think I'm wrong. It's just that we, who are no longer the same, have made different choices during this period. Tang Siqing smiled, smiling very brightly, so bright that his heart sank, she smiled and said, "What you said tonight, did you want to tell me last night?" Seeing me with Wen Muxue and making that scene with Wu Liang made you feel uncomfortable, right? β
Tang Sibin didn't make a sound, as if he was acquiescing.
"Fortunately, I chose to go with Wen Muxue last night instead of coming back with you to talk about these unpleasant things, and then I talked a lot with Xiaoxue, originally, I also wanted to tell you, but now it seems that there is no need for that." Tang Siqing dragged her luggage and walked slowly towards the door, "Just as it makes you unhappy to interfere with my relationship with Yu Zhiyan, I don't want you to express dissatisfaction with my relationship with Xiaoxue." Yes, I wanted to take advantage of Xiaoxue at first, but can't she and I be true love? β
"I'm leaving, you take care of yourself. Goodbye, I used to be! β
