Chapter 242: It's Not Easy to End (9)
"I just drank a bottle of wine." Qi Rui said. I have to say that this sentence sounded a little provocative in a calm and wine-mixed tone, but Qi Rui neither meant such nor realized such a problem. He just couldn't stand the embarrassment of being quietly watched by his father. The purpose of this sentence is simply to break the embarrassment.
"I see it." Wei Ze's tone was as calm as usual, just listening to his tone, it was like seeing Qi Rui drink a glass of boiled water slowly. With that, Weser pulled up a chair in the dining room connected to the kitchen and sat down comfortably.
Such calmness and did not let go of Qi Rui's actions made Qi Rui feel even more embarrassed. Looking at his beloved father, Qi Rui felt ashamed. He couldn't help but explain, "I just wanted to see if drinking could calm my heart." ”
"Now that you've drunk it, do you feel like you've met your expectations?" Wei Ze was not only not angry, but even agreed with his son's statement.
"Nope." Qi Rui replied. actually failed to drink until he was delirious, and Qi Rui also felt very puzzled. He wondered if he had eaten a belly meal first, so he let the alcohol not work at all.
"Since it's useless to drink, I don't know if talking to me can solve the discomfort in your heart." Weeser made another suggestion. But it was quite hot today, so he poured two glasses of water and threw a baking soda in each cup. The baking soda flakes immediately emit a lot of bubbles, and these carbonic acids make the water more refreshing. The household refrigerator has not yet reached the level of complete practicality, and Wei Ze does not want to get himself a conspicuous cold storage, let alone use those appliances that he feels unsafe when he thinks about it.
Taking a sip of soda, Wei Ze felt refreshed. None of the liquor that can enter the kitchen of Weeser is a cheap blend of alcohol. Good wine is not necessarily easier to get drunk, and Wei Ze is not worried that Qi Rui will be so drunk.
"I don't have much to say." Seeing that his father did not accuse himself, Qi Rui felt a lot more relieved. At this time, reason began to slowly dissipate, and when he told him about Chu Xue, Qi Rui felt an inexplicable sense of shame.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably because of girls." Weeser asked.
“…… Be. Qi Rui didn't want to lie to his father.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's probably called snow." Wei Ze searched for names in his memory bank, and it was really difficult for an ordinary little girl's name to leave a deep impression on Wei Ze. If there is a word in the name that is the same as Wei Ze's daughter, Wei Ze will be completely blind. After a few moments, Wei Ze finally found the name, "It should be called Chu Xue." ”
Qi Rui was stunned at the time, he thought that this matter was not known to his father. Who knew that his father Wei Ze knew far more than Qi Rui expected.
Seeing his son's eyes widen in surprise, Wei Ze waved his hand, "I didn't investigate this matter." It's your wife who is paying attention, and your wife is going to investigate. I don't care about that. ”
Although he said it lightly, Wei Ze was thinking about something else in his heart. Qi Hongyi didn't say anything after investigating, which meant that Qi Hongyi was not interested in Chu Xue. No matter how Qi Hongyi said to his son, "You can find someone to marry me", in fact, it is obviously not easy to enter Qi Hongyi's "casual" list.
was exposed, and Qi Rui didn't want to hide anything anymore. He also pulled a chair and sat down beside his father, "Father, Chu Xue is getting married, and I'm very uncomfortable." ”
Because of the discomfort, Qi Rui couldn't help but lower his head, and two small figures were reflected in Wei Ze's eyes.
"Getting married? That is, I am not married yet. Wei Ze said something that Qi Rui didn't expect.
Qi Rui was stunned, he couldn't understand what Daddy Wei Ze meant.
"You know I have a lot of power, I have a lot of influence. As your father, I am willing to help you. I can go to his house to propose, not to mention that Chu Xue is not married now, even if I get the certificate, I can change this fact. As long as you sincerely ask me for this, I will help you. Weser said slowly, something he had never said before. Looking at his son's stupid expression, Wei Ze laughed, "Haha, you don't have to suspect that I'm joking. I know you very well, and if you just want to use my power to play with that girl, I'll break your leg with my own hands. I can tell you're serious about it. Since you are so serious, I am willing to help you. This is not a shameful thing, we marry a daughter-in-law and not a daughter. Even if I use the means, there is nothing to be afraid of. What's more, your dad and I don't really care what others think of me. Well, as long as you ask me, I will help you. ”
A huge sense of hope arose, and Qi Rui's eyes lit up. He didn't doubt his father's strength, since Qi Rui could remember, what his father Wei Ze wanted to do hadn't been impossible. But this fleeting hope brings with it a great sense of shame. Qi Rui didn't want to wish Chu Xue a happy marriage at all, it wasn't that he hated Chu Xue because of his love, but Qi Rui didn't want to make such a hypocritical statement at all.
What made Qi Rui feel a huge sense of shame was Chu Xue's sentence: "You don't have to worry about me." I'll take care of myself." As soon as he thought of this, Qi Rui couldn't help but question and even blame himself, he might be a guy who couldn't take care of others. If he relied on his father's power to forcibly restrain Chu Xue by his side, Qi Rui really didn't know what face he would have to face Chu Xue in the long days ahead.
"Nope. I would never force her to do anything. Qi Rui's head shook like a rattle. Maybe it was because he used too much force, Qi Rui felt dizzy, as if he was drunk.
Wei Ze took another sip of soda before he said slowly: "You don't agree with me helping you, is it because you don't think you like Chu Xue as much as you thought?" ”
"Not true. I really like her. So I'm not going to do anything to upset her. Qi Rui said loudly.
"Oh?" Wei Ze replied in a questioning tone.
"I like her, I love the feeling of being with her. Even when I'm not with her, that feeling still makes me feel at ease. If I just locked her up with me and didn't have that sense of peace, I'd rather just walk away. Speaking of this, Qi Rui shuddered greatly. Just imagining Chu Xue who was frowning, Qi Rui felt an inexplicable chill. This shiver made Qi Rui straighten his spine. In Wei Ze's bright eyes, Qi Rui's reflection also became a little larger.
"Since you refuse to ask me for help, this is your own business, you can decide for yourself." Wei Ze's voice came into Qi Rui's ears, and even though he was sitting with his father, Qi Rui only felt that the voice seemed to come from a distant place. His head was groggy and dizzy, and all consciousness was rapidly fading. When Qi Rui woke up again, what he saw was a dark room.
After drinking too much wine, you won't have a headache when you wake up, and Qi Rui doesn't feel anything else uncomfortable except for feeling dry mouth. When he got up, Qi Rui found himself wearing a full set of clothes. I walked to the kitchen almost refreshed, poured cold water and poured it down, and I felt completely transparent.
Returning to the room to take off his clothes and fall asleep, Qi Rui only felt that he could still recall the events of the day, but the short past seemed to be something that happened a long time ago. Qi Rui didn't want to think about anything, he turned on the fan, and under the cool breeze, he fell asleep again.
The sky was bright, and Qi Rui woke up from his sleep. The birds are singing freely in the compound, Nanjing is not a cool North America, as soon as the sun comes out, the heat rises. And the sound of the cars of the big people who go to work makes the courtyard even more lively. In such an environment full of life, Qi Rui's spirit can no longer be as calm as yesterday.
Recalling what his father said yesterday, Qi Rui couldn't help but have some expectations. If only his father could really help him......
This thought was fleeting, and Qi Rui was ashamed of his thoughts again. If you do this, it is better to go to Chu Xue again. Tell Chu Xue her identity, or will Chu Xue change her mind? As soon as this idea came out, Qi Rui felt ashamed.
The list of people to go to North America has not yet been fully announced, but the top 50 have already been released. The political office of the military academy talked to 50 people, including Qi Rui, and asked them if they would like to go to North America. Of course, Qi Rui will not refuse. Now he is waiting for the appointment. Once the order is issued, Qi Rui will set off immediately. This time he went to North America, Qi Rui was going to teach at the Xinxiang Army Academy in North America. Teaching and doing research at the same time. The military academy gave these cadets a month-long vacation, and asked them to do what they had to do. Once they go to North America, they must be mentally prepared to smash on the creation of motorized infantry for five years. As far as Qi Rui knows, some of the top 50 students expressed their reluctance to go to North America. As a non-compulsory transfer, they are reluctant to go, and the college will not force it.
Qi Rui was lazy and unenergetic during lunch, and after dinner, Qi Rui simply changed into civilian clothes and went out for a walk. Walking around, Qi Rui found himself near Chu Xue's house again. I was thinking about whether to contact Chu Xue again. Then Qi Rui saw two familiar figures on the side of the road, the woman was Chu Xue, and the man was a stranger.
Chu Xue took the man's arm, and Qi Rui watched the two walk across the street in a daze. It was as if a burning sensation burned in his chest again. Perhaps because of yesterday's experience, Qi Rui controlled his emotions relatively smoothly this time. Even if his body is still stiff, Qi Rui is finally stronger than yesterday.
Sitting on the bus and returning home, Qi Rui opened the notes he had taken home and forced himself to focus on the knowledge that needed to be learned. After all, I have developed the habit of studying, and as long as I find that feeling, I can read the book. Qi Rui exiled himself in the ocean of knowledge and never looked back.
In the next few days, Wei Ze's family came to Wei Kun's girlfriend. Li Yifang and Wei Ze were very satisfied, and Qi Rui attended the visit even if he looked absent-minded. Wei Ze's attention was actually more focused on his eldest son Qi Rui.
It's just a few days, Qi Rui has changed! Young people often smile a lot less. His lips were also pursed subconsciously, looking a little fragile. The beautiful and elegant eyes inherited from Qi Hongyi are also a little different from a few days ago, and whenever there are mood swings, an inner strength is calming the emotions. This struggle is reflected in the slight change in that eye. In short, after only a few days, judging from his appearance alone, Qi Rui seems to have grown a few years older. Although he already looks young, no matter how many years older he is, he just has the appearance of a 26-year-old young man.
Wei Ze was very satisfied with Qi Rui's changes. An ordinary human being naturally does not like pain, but a person who aspires to inherit the throne cannot fail to know what pain is. There is no greater pain than to understand your own ignorance and incompetence, and to truly recognize your own powerlessness. These personal feelings are precisely the experience that Qi Rui lacks the most.
Wei Ze didn't want to create some experiences for Qi Rui to experience these feelings, but he gave up later. The human mind is too difficult to control, and the result of pulling out the seedlings is self-defeating. Now that he sees that his son has finally realized this, although he has never seen Chu Xue, Wei Ze is very grateful in his heart for the influence this girl has given Qi Rui. She did what Weezer couldn't do anyway. Ask yourself, as a father, Wei Ze can't bear to see his son go through this. Now that his son finally experienced this pain, Wei Ze had no other feeling for Chu Xue in his heart except for gratitude.
said that there was no investigation, and it was impossible for Wei Ze to really know nothing about his son. From the point of view of a person like Wei Ze who has been in the world for a long time, there will probably be no result between Qi Rui and Chu Xue. Regardless of whether Qi Rui himself admits it or not, Wei Ze thinks that his son is a person full of fame. Up, forward, progressive. Understanding the world and mastering the laws of society is what Qi Rui wants.
As for Chu Xuemo, she is a good child, but she is a person who has no interest in these things. She doesn't care what the world will become, she just wants to live well.
Qi Rui probably felt the simple attitude towards life represented by Chu Xue, and was fascinated by it. But Qi Rui has never been able to understand that his life up to now is like a vehicle with full horsepower, galloping on a road to the highest power. There are so many things on this path, power, status, victory, defeat, good or bad. There are too many on this path, but there is no "life".
Thinking of this, Wei Ze couldn't help but feel a little stunned in his heart. Even if you understand life, this understanding is probably just turning life into a tool in your own hands. Before you have the ability to sip the blood of others, you can only use your own blood to satisfy your hunger. A person who does not understand life cannot make those who live for life work for him. Those who live for life will never be able to comprehend how many dangers they have overcome that the strong have never seen before, and what kind of heaven or hell they have seen.
Can people from two different worlds really be together by pure affection? Weser really wanted to see how the simple feelings that originated from the human body could overcome all the difficulties and dangers in the world, but he had not been able to do so so far. Now Weeser only hopes that his son's frustration will become his strength. It's not a high probability event that you will be rewarded for paying the price, but this kind of thing has happened many times.
