Chapter 21: Masquerade

87_878012 (21) Masquerade

I sat quietly in the café in the afternoon, and it has been a lot more fun lately. Although the cooperation between Jiang's and Yuancheng is still very dull, it will not be like it is now when it opens.

I looked at the text message on my phone, and I lost a lot of money on the futures I bought. This is my new investment advisor recently, and it seems that I need to change another one, after all, my money is also limited. Recently, I haven't been very lucky, and I've lost millions, and it's a losing streak. I've been a little unlucky lately, and if it's not bad luck, then someone is deliberately trying to fix me.

I took a sip of my coffee and frowned, bitter.

But I continued to taste it. I don't like to add sugar or milk, because that's not the essence of the substance, and I hate what is added.

It's like I hate myself too, because I'm not the simple cause anymore.

"You seem to be very laid-back." A voice came.

I looked over. It's Zhao Shihao.

It seems that we came from the press conference just now, and I thought that we had been like strangers at the press conference, and since then we have really been strangers. It seems like not, because we are the most familiar strangers.

You're not like you anymore, and I'm not like me anymore.

We all walk through our lives with so-called masks, I forgot my own face under the mask, but I remember yours clearly. But I don't know if you're going to take off your disguise.

"Zhao Shihao." I call him by his first name.

"Cause." It's a very good name.

"Mr. Zhao." I asked him to identify himself, and I didn't want him to call me causation, because it was a memory.

"I've heard that the returns on your recent investments in stocks haven't been very good, but I don't think you're worried about it now." Zhao Shihao is alluding to this.

My stock is losing, how does he know. He said this only to show one thing, and that was that he was playing tricks.

"Zhao Shihao, what do you want?" I didn't know what to do with Zhao Shihao, so I had to ask him directly.

"What do you want?" He seemed to have heard a good joke, but there was still no smile on his face.

I looked at him, he was only thirty centimeters away from me now, but how did I feel that I was separated from him by a thousand mountains and rivers?

"Because of this, what you said is really hurtful." Zhao Shihao said such words made me feel powerless.

I didn't speak, just looked at him like that. My mind is empty.

"It's never about what I want to do, it's about how you want to be." It's a very common statement, and I'm frozen.

I don't know, I don't know anything.

"What the hell do you want? That's what you want? If this qiē is what you want, then how can you practice yourself. I look down on this woman named Yuan Youli because she is ridiculous, low, and forced to laugh. Zhao Shihao said this to me.

This sentence was so shocking that my mind was already in a mess.

"You should be hated, but there is only Yuan Youli in this world." I looked at him with a smile, yes I was ridiculously low, but I was even more reluctant to do that lowly cause because I didn't want to live like that again.

"Cause, what exactly do you want? Position of power, what do you really want? This is rarely a problem, especially in Zhao Shihao's mouth.

Yes, what do I want? What do I want, do I really love positions of power? Do I really want such a sense of superiority?

"Zhao Shihao, we have gone too far." I don't know what to say, I just know that there's nothing to turn back in this world.

"I don't understand." He said it as if he were forbearing. "I don't understand what exactly you want, the identity of the lover-man hangs on you, and the man you are attached to now is simply not reliable. I don't understand, I don't understand why if you're going to rely on why not choose me, but choose an irrelevant man. Zhao Shihao looked at me like this, I didn't understand the anger in his eyes.

Yes and why.

"I thought you hated me." I said this almost subconsciously.

A sneer twitched at the corner of his mouth. "Because of this, you still can't get out of your cage." He seemed to understand me.

I looked at him, and his words gave me an inescapable sense of inescapability. This consciousness told me that I had been closed off for a long, long time. Yes, I desperately want to escape from the world of causes, but there is always a cause in my subconscious, so no matter how I try to escape, I can't escape the shackles of the mind.

"Come back with me, you don't belong here. I can give you whatever you want. "Zhao Shihao stretched out his hand to me, which was very tempting to me.

Zhao Shihao is an indispensable person in my life, he has redeemed me and hell, although he cannot take me out of the darkness, but he can give me warmth.

I looked at his hand, and my heart was shaking. My hands were already sweating, and I looked at Zhao Shihao. Consciously, I slowly reached out to him, wanting to touch his. For me it was a hope, like the sun.

I was in a trance, maybe I had this thought deep down.

My hand will touch his.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh." The vibration of my phone brought me back to consciousness.

I withdrew my hand and pulled out my phone. I am very familiar with that number, it is Jiang Zheyu.

I glanced at Zhao Shihao and prepared to answer the phone. Jiang Zheyu's call, I have to answer.

"Cause." Zhao Shihao looked at me and wanted me to choose. I looked at Zhao Shihao, and there was a moment of hesitation in my eyes.

The phone was still vibrating and I was sluggish. Or ready to answer the phone.

"Cause." Zhao Shihao was very anxious this time, and he looked at my expression as if he was signaling that I only had this one chance.

I looked at Zhao Shihao, and the mobile phone in my hand was still vibrating. "I'm sorry." I made up my mind and said this to him.

Zhao Shihao looked at me, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, got up and left directly, without a trace of hesitation.

I looked at his back, and I didn't know what to do. The phone in my hand is still vibrating, but I don't know how, I don't feel it at all at the moment.

I didn't pick up, and I didn't even know what I was doing.

Maybe I'm ridiculous enough that I don't even know what I want.

I threw my phone into the cup in front of me and watched as it flooded the screen with a black screen. I feel like a madman at the moment, I'm lost but no one can take me down.

I'm not crying, I'm not going to cry anymore. Everyone will have their own path of choice, and everyone is persevering on their own path, but I am very painful, but I am still persevering. But I was so scared that I persevered to the end, and I didn't get what I wanted
