Chapter XXVI. Five years ago

Lyrical and soft music was playing in the car, and Qu Ruoning leaned back in the chair, tilting her head slightly to look at the backward neon signs.

Ren Shaochen put his hands on the steering wheel, his lips pursed slightly, looking at Qu Ruoning in a daze from the rearview mirror, he felt that he was becoming more and more unpredictable about her, obviously she could talk and laugh one moment ago, and she didn't like to deal with people the next moment, which was even more inscrutable than when she was depressed two years ago.

"You said you regretted it that night, did you regret something?" Qu Ruoning suddenly turned her head back to look at Ren Shaochen, and asked him with a slight blink, this question was actually something she wanted to ask a long time ago, and she always hung in her heart.

Ren Shaochen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted that Qu Qingying had an accident and lived in his house, and Ruoning had to stay that night. It turned out that she really wasn't asleep, but why did she suddenly ask about that sentence at this time?

"I regret agreeing to the divorce so easily." Ren Shaochen told the truth, if he hadn't seen Gu Chendong and Ruo Ning hugging each other outside the bar, he didn't think he would be so impulsive.

Qu Ruoning didn't think so, she felt that although Ren Shaochen was impulsive that day, but more importantly, he didn't care so much about this marriage, otherwise he would not agree easily, which made people feel that this marriage or her was dispensable.

And she herself is not without fault, in the past two years, she knows that she has become paranoid and suspicious, when Ren Shaochen defended Tang Ling's matter, she did not choose to believe him, to wait for the truth, and even rushed to get out of this marriage, because it has become a shackle to her, and she lacks the courage to continue to bear it.

"Actually, you don't need to regret it, don't you think we're in a better state now?" Qu Ruoning implemented the answer in her heart, and felt relieved, his regret at least proved that her five years by his side were not in vain, whether it was habit or family affection, she always occupied a place.

"I don't think it's better now." Ren Shaochen's voice was low.

Qu Ruoning looked directly at his face and smiled lightly: "I think this is very good for each other, I won't suffer any more gains and losses, and you don't have to worry about me anymore, you can do what you want." ”

"Of course, I'm not blaming you for anything, but I really mean it." Qu Ruoning lowered her head, looked away, and said, "If I have to say that I regret it, what I regret is that I forced you in the first place and besieged you in this marriage for five years, making us unhappy with each other." ”

The more Ren Shaochen listened to Qu Ruoning's words, the tighter his eyebrows wrinkled, and Qu Ruoning rarely told him about his inner words, and he knew that she had always thought like this in her heart.

"I proposed to get married, and if I didn't want to, no one could force it." Ren Shaochen's brows furrowed, which can be regarded as an explanation.

"But you have always been a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and you will naturally be responsible for me when that incident happened." Qu Ruoning simply said clearly, told the truth of that night, and said: "Actually, that night, I deliberately poured you wine, and I know that the next day is the day of Lin Weiyang's engagement. ”

Qu Ruoning was two terms later than Ren Shaochen, and the School of Design and the School of Finance and Economics of S University were far away, when she met Ren Shaochen, it was the end of her sophomore year, and he was close to graduation.

But she had heard of the four-year love history between him and Lin Weiyang University. Before I met him, I often heard that he and Lin Weiyang were the most suitable golden boy and girl in the school, he was a well-known high-achieving student of the School of Finance and Economics, not to mention getting scholarships every year, and he was already a well-known CAO handicap in his senior year, and his indifference added a legend to him. And the only one who can melt this iceberg is Lin Weiyang, and his warm smile is all because of her.

However, at that time, Qu Ruoning never thought that she would have anything to do with the legendary characters, and it was really a coincidence that she knew Ren Shaochen. As a friend, she watched Ren Shaochen and Lin Weiyang separate and reunite after graduation, and in two years, Lin Weiyang finally married someone else.

Qu Ruoning feels that she is like the second female number one who plays in the TV series, she secretly has a crush, never dares to cross the line, and the aiqing of the male protagonist has nothing to do with her from beginning to end.

Because of a drunken mess, she took advantage of the situation, and they really got along.

Qu Ruoning knew that it was despicable and humble to do so, but she just struggled to try and catch her Aiqing.

In that chaotic night, the alcohol paralyzed her nerves, but also gave her courage, she was the first to seduce him, and she was the first to start taking off his shirt.

She still remembered the details very well, when she was afraid that she would be pushed away, and with caution, her fingers trembling terribly.

"You weishenme mention her again? What if the next day was the day of her engagement? Ren Shaochen frowned again when he heard the name Lin Weiyang, he subconsciously rejected this name, thinking that her name should not appear in his life.

Qu Ruoning knew Ren Shaochen's expression too well before she was anxious, she hooked her lips, a little self-deprecating, for so many years, Lin Weiyang's name could still cause him to be so emotional.

"Wasn't it because of her that you were drunk by me that day?" Qu Ruoning has always known, but she likes to deceive herself, her long eyelashes trembled, and she simply explained the things of the year more clearly, and said: "The next morning, she sent you a text message, she wanted to escape the marriage and be with you, do you want to know what I replied with your mobile phone?" ”

Ren Shaochen suddenly stopped the car, looked sideways at Qu Ruoning, and looked at her in disbelief.

Qu Ruoning knew that she was already extremely bad at doing this, and her selfishness ruined the happiness of Ren Shaochen and Lin Weiyang.

"I replied with the words Happy Engagement." After Qu Ruoning finished speaking, she let out a long sigh, she had buried the secret for so many years, and finally said it. Facts have proved that the stolen and deceived happiness will eventually disappear, and Ren Shaochen does not belong to her in the first place.

Ren Shaochen retracted his gaze, lowered his head and lowered his eyes for a long time, from the shock at the beginning, gradually calmed down, started the car, and said: "Before she got engaged, I broke up with her for a long time. ”

This sentence is to talk about it left and right, and it is to avoid the important and light, what about breaking up, how many people in this world have broken up and still hide each other in their hearts.

Qu Ruo stared at Ren Shaochen's side face, his eyes flashed slightly, every time he talked about Lin Weiyang, he would be like this, this was Ren Shaochen's death hole, and there would never be a solution.

"If it weren't for me, maybe you would be now"

"Enough, don't mention it again, it's all over." Ren Shaochen cut off Qu Ruoning's words and ended the topic.

The car drove downstairs to Qu Ruoning's community, Ren Shaochen turned off the engine, got out of the driver's seat, ran to the co-pilot, opened the door, and bent over to carry Qu Ruoning out.

The two were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was completely different from when they crossed the overpass.

Carrying her into the house, Ren Shaochen placed her on the sofa, lifted the sleeves of her shirt, went into the bathroom and filled the sink with warm water, then found pajamas from Ruoning's wardrobe, brought a chair in, and then helped Qu Ruoning into the bathroom.

"Don't get wet these days, or don't shower." Ren Shaochen helped her to the chair and wrung a towel for her.

Qu Ruoning was stunned, didn't take his towel for a while, and only listened to Ren Shaochen say, "Do you want me to wash it for you?" ”

She reached for the towel and lowered her head awkwardly, her ears reddening.

"Don't you wash it yet? The water is getting cold. Ren Shaochen saw that Qu Ruoning didn't move, so he reminded him.

"If you don't go out, how can I wash?" Qu Ruoning wrinkled her eyebrows, raised her head and glanced at Ren Shaochen strangely.

Ren Shaochen suddenly took two steps back, and explained: "Then I'll go out first, you be careful not to get wet." ”

Qu Ruoning nodded, watching Ren Shaochen exit the bathroom and close the door.
