Grandpa's memorial service left Tao Si exhausted.

On the day of his burial, Tao Si was wearing a black classic dress, and his face was pale like a decadent lily. Next to her was the housekeeper holding an umbrella for her, while still holding her elbow with concern.

It's been like a dream for the past few days, and her tears have dried and flowed, I don't know how many times.

The people around said goodbye one by one, and Tao Si wanted to stand alone for a while. When everyone dispersed, she spoke to her grandfather's black-and-white photo, and then Tao Si returned to the car.

Halfway through the car, Tao Si felt empty above his ears, raised his hand to touch it, and found that his earrings were missing.

It was passed down from my mother. Tao Si asked the driver to drive back immediately to find it. I searched near the tombstone for a while, but I never saw the pearl earring. Tao Si returned disappointed, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by the extra bouquet of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone.

Everyone who came to the funeral today gave a lily, because grandpa's favorite was lilies, and lilies were also the favorite of the deceased grandmother.

Who the hell is this person?

Tao Si glanced around, and there was only a hazy drizzle drifting in the empty cemetery, and no one else could be found.

The driver took the umbrella and came down and asked worriedly, "Miss, haven't you found it yet?" ”

Tao Si hummed in disappointment, "Maybe it fell somewhere else." Go back and look for it again. ”

After going back, Tao Si sent people to search for many places, but to no avail. It was as if the earrings had suddenly evaporated from the world. Thinking that his mother had left him with one less earring, Tao Si was so depressed that he didn't even have the heart to eat. After Tao's father found out, he comforted her and said that there was no way to lose it, things are dead, and people are alive. If you toss your body like this, your mother and grandfather will be unhappy underground.

A housekeeper downstairs came to report that it was Mr. Jin who came.

Tao Si turned over and turned his back to Tao's father, "I'm not feeling well, I don't want to see anyone." ”

"Others came from the mainland to see you, do you think anyone is so free to have a lot of time with you? Collect your young lady's temper, where is the reason why a guest is coming, and the host is not going to entertain? ”

Tao Si turned over again and looked at Tao's father angrily, "We all agreed at the beginning, and I met him that time." I've done what I agreed with you that time. But now I don't want to see it. Are you still going to tie me up and see me? ”

"And who do you want to meet?" Father Tao said with a smile, "Knowing that this is a blind date, there will be a follow-up, do you think it's over after meeting once?" ”

"I have a boyfriend."

"You mess around, you think it's fun, I'll take care of any one you want." The implication is that Father Tao didn't take He Chen in his eyes at all, "But you can't play for a lifetime." Always marry well. ”

Tao Si rolled over and sat up from the bed, "I'm not playing. I'm seriously in a relationship with He Chen. ”

"Serious? Do you tell him your real name, what is going on in your home? ”

Tao Si pursed his lips and did not speak, and unnatural flashed in his eyes.

Father Tao had an expression on his face that I knew, "You know it in your own heart." ”

Tao Si looked up at Father Tao, "Yes, I didn't say anything." But I want to tell him now. I told him that I wanted to develop more steadily with him. Why do you have to arrange my life? ”

"I think you're trying to disagree with me." Father Tao pointed at Tao Si with his hand, "It's been like this since I was a child, I told you not to do this, you just want to do it." If I tell you to go east, you will go west, north, and south, but you will never go to the east. I'm your father, will I hurt you? Why do you have to mess with your dad for an outsider? Are you trying to me off? ”

Tao Si's eyes reddened, "He Chen, he is not an outsider. She solemnly repeated word by word, "He is not an outsider, he is the person I want to marry." ”

She never thought about getting married until she met him. After meeting him, she never thought of marrying someone else.

Tao Si also thought that after marrying him, he never thought about regretting the word.

This time, the death of her grandfather had too much impact on her.

Because you always don't know, the accident or tomorrow, which one will come first.

Father Tao looked at his only daughter with a stubborn look on her face, and held back her anger, "Okay, if you dare to marry him, I will withdraw from the mainland." His father's job would be affected in the first place. I'll see if the true love of the two of you can withstand these influences. ”

Father Tao is a man who will do what he says.

Tao Si was anxious and angry for a moment, "Are you so interesting?" Don't you just rely on your money? ”

"Yes. You are also my daughter who was raised with money, without me, you can be domineering outside for so many years? ”

Tao Si secretly grabbed his quilt with both hands, "Isn't it just to meet a blind date?" I'll see you! I'll see it! ”

She finally relented.

But where is she a person who is willing to be controlled by others, she took advantage of the time to go out to eat with her blind date, ran away directly, didn't even dare to sit on the plane, and took the ship directly and returned to the mainland.

Along the way, there was a lot of dust, and a pampered person like her, who was used to sitting in the first class, naturally suffered a lot, and when she got home, not to mention the cold pot and cold stove, there was no one. Tao Si looked at the gray footprints left on the ground by his footsteps.

The house is dusty, has she not come back to live after drinking tea since she left?

Tao Si cleaned up the small house inside and out, and then cleaned himself up, it was dinner time. Taos wore a beautiful dress, and the pink color of the macarons was perfect for the spring season. When he arrived at the bar, Tao Si went straight to the private room where He Chen often stayed. There was a miasma of smoke inside, and as soon as he opened the door, Tao Si was smoked by the mist inside.

Finally adapted to this environment, Tao Si covered his mouth and nose and insisted on walking in, He Chen was still sitting in the first place to play mahjong, it was the time when the interest was strong, "Hu! ”

The people around him were disappointed, and said enviously, "Oh, Mr. He, you have been too lucky recently, and you really have nothing to say about your good fortune." ”

He Chen pushed down the mahjong in front of him, took off the cigarette he was holding, took a puff, and said, "I usually don't pay you less tuition." ”

"He Chen."

A familiar voice came to my ears.

He Chen raised his eyes, Tao Si didn't know when he stood by his side.

"You're back?"

He Chen smiled, "Sit down, I'll play a few more." ”

Tao Si frowned and looked at him in disbelief. He Chen doesn't like to smoke, and he also knows that she doesn't like him to smoke. But now, in just a few days, this man will not leave his hand. The light in the box was not bright, it was obviously a warm yellowish light, and the faces of the smoky gamblers reflected indifference.

He Chen bit the cigarette and freed his hands to continue to work on the mahjong in his hand.

"I'm hungry. Let's go eat. Tao Si intuitively didn't like He Chen in this state in front of him.

He Chen said, "You wait." When you're hungry, I'll have someone bring you some fruit platter. As he rang the bell, a waiter walked in.

"I'm not hungry anymore." Tao Si refused.

"Then you can wait by the side." After He Chen finished speaking, he threw out another card, "Touch!" What did you just hit? ”

His mind completely shifted to mahjong again.

Tao Si gradually felt that she was really redundant, because she waited round after round. He Chen's luck today is really good, and every lap he plays is a win.

Tao Si finally left, went to the private food by himself, and ordered a table of delicious food. Eating alone was boring, she called Yu Rao, and the phone was turned off.

As soon as he hung up the phone, He Chen's phone dialed in.

"Where have you been? I also said I'll take you to dinner. ”

"No, I'm home."

There was silence over there.

"I'm at your house. There is no one in your house. ”

“……”

"Where are you now?"

"You can continue to play mahjong. I don't need you with me. I just want to finish dinner quietly and alone. ”

"Okay."

Hung up the phone over there.

Tao Si held the phone for a long time and didn't come back to her senses, and there was a mechanical beep from inside, knocking emptily in her heart. I never thought that He Chen would hang up the phone so simply. Obviously he did something wrong, obviously he didn't care about her feelings, but he didn't say a word of apology or comfort.

This meal, she ate tastelessly.

It was not uncomfortable in his heart, Tao Si drove around the city in a car, and then went back to his apartment.

The house was pitch black. She turned on the headlights in the living room with anticipation. There is no figure of He Chen.

She turned on the lights in every room, and she opened every wardrobe.

No, nothing. Flowers, gifts, people, none of them.

Tao Siku sat on the sofa, the room was so bright, and the loneliness and disappointment in her heart were nowhere to hide.

After thinking about it, Tao thought of a possibility: He Chen knew her identity and knew that she had concealed it before.

It was already one o'clock in the evening, and Tao Si drove through the empty streets in the middle of the night. Since there is a misunderstanding, let's solve it quickly. If it was before, Tao Si would definitely not be the first to bow his head. But now it's different, love someone and change for him, as long as it's good, what's not to do?

When she visited late at night, He Chen was not at home. I went to the bar and asked the staff inside, only to know that He Chen was on the top floor.

Tao Si rushed up in one breath.

"Do you know something?" Tao Si looked at He Chen's back and said.

He Chen drank all the beer in his hand and said without looking back, "What do you know?" ”

"I ......" Tao Si hesitated, "my father's business, my family's affairs ......"

"Does it matter?"

Tao Si's nervous mood was suddenly relieved, He Chen was right, these things were actually not important, she and he were not involved in these things at the beginning.

"That'...... Why do you ...... I think you're mad at me. Tao Si said with some grievances.

He Chen slowly turned around and threw away the beer can in his hand. The moon was very round tonight, and the bright moonlight bathed He Chen's face, making his skin white like cold jade. Beauty is beauty, but it exudes coldness. Tao Si understood, and there was no smile on this person's face.

"What shall I call you? Tao Si is still ...... Ning October? He Chen stared at Tao Si and said meaningfully.

Tao Si secretly clenched his fists, coming, coming, finally coming. She took a deep breath, "Will you listen to me?" ”

"I don't want to hear from you. Always listen to you, you must have your own reasons, have your own difficulties, don't you? He Chen's smile oozes bitterness, "I haven't been in love, everyone says that Song Nan is such a good girl by my side, but I don't know how to cherish it." I've felt that way before. But then I met you. I realized that all my pity and affection were just for you. People only have one heart, and naturally only one person can be accommodated.

So, as long as you are unhappy, you are unhappy, I will reflect on whether I have done something wrong, and then change it with sincere fear, for fear that because of my inexperience, you will think that I am not good enough. I always thought that if I worked hard, I would be able to make you fall in love with me, and I would be able to give you a safe, comfortable and perfect home. ”

Tao Si's lips moved, she wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Chen.

"But I know now that there are some things that I simply can't work on. You can hide your true situation from me, and you can even choose to meet other men on a blind date when you are with me. The choice is yours. If you want to blame me, blame me, I don't know anything, wishful thinking to marry you, thinking that I can really give you happiness with my own efforts. ”

Tao Si's heart was cold, his clenched hand was opened, and the sweat in his palms was damp when the wind came out of the night. She looked serious and asked in a cold tone, "What do you mean?" Do you regret it? ”

"Honesty and trust are the foundation of a long-term relationship, and we didn't even have this before, so where does the long-term development come from?" He Chen said.

Tao Si's mind buzzed, "You want to break up?" ”

The word breakup blurted out, like a thunderclap.

She looked at He Chen and hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Just because I hid it from you, so you're going to break up? You want to break up without even wanting to hear an explanation? Tao Si asked incredulously.

"Yes. I don't think we're a good fit. After this incident, I found a lot of problems between us. If you want to get married, I am also rushing to get married, but when I get married, I find many very close problems. These problems are unavoidable. He Chen said calmly.

"What's the problem?"

"Neither parents like each other. There are too many differences in each other's family backgrounds......"

Tao Si interrupted him, "Tell me straight, don't you love me anymore?" ”

"Yes. That's it. ”

The sky inside Tao Si's heart collapsed. It was as if the dust was raised in front of her eyes and blocked her eyes, and she couldn't even see He Chen's face a few steps away. She heard the sound of her heart breaking, a heavy muffled pain running over her body, she wanted to leave, but she couldn't move. A voice in her heart drove her to ask that silly question, "You really, really don't love me anymore?" ”

"Yes." He Chen replied succinctly.

Tao Si slowed down, and a sweet and bright smile like a flower bloomed on his face, "I have something I have always wanted to tell you." I haven't said it myself. ”

He Chen was stunned for a moment, "Well, you say." ”
