(40) Finale: Fate
"Since you're half wrong, it's settled. went downstairs and slapped each other, and from then on, the wind was light, and no one was allowed to care anymore. As before, how to be together and how to be together. ”
"Don't!" Xu Manman refused. She still has a threshold in her heart, and she can't get over it.
However, she did not stay in bed again. After jumping out of bed, brushing his teeth and washing his face, he casually put on a coat and went down.
The ponytail is tied casually, and the feet are light sneakers. It's been a long time since she's dressed up so casually, except for her red and swollen eyes, she looks like a college student.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobei standing downstairs from a distance, Xu Manman walked towards him calmly.
"Xiaobei, I promise you, we will still be good friends in the future." Xu Manman said: "Don't worry, I will also focus on my career, I promised Sister Meng that I will not fall in love or get married in the past few years." ”
Since you can't choose, it's better not to choose. Actually, she was really not in the mood to fall in love. Every time I think about feelings and men, I feel exhausted.
It was freezing cold, and after standing for another night, Zhang Xiaobei looked very tired, and a band-aid was attached to the corner of her forehead, which was her masterpiece yesterday.
He looked at Xu Manman intently, his long eyelashes were thin and soft, and her shadow was printed in his eyes: "Manman, forgive me, okay?" ”
"Xiaobei, I've already said it. I don't want to be in a relationship! ”
Xu Manman shrugged her shoulders and cocked her collar, she shrunk her neck under the invasion of the cold wind, it was still quite cold.
Zhang Xiaobei looked at her, remembering the intimacy in the past, and naturally took off his scarf and wanted to wrap it around her.
Xu Manman retreated, his hand holding the scarf was frozen in mid-air, unable to reach out or take it back.
"Such an intimate action should be reserved for your future girlfriend." Xu Manman pursed his lips, and the corners of his lips curled with a smile: "And we have broken up." ”
Zhang Xiaobei's hand slowly drooped. He looked at Xu Manman, and his broken hair occasionally fluttered: "Manman......"
Xu Manman was still smiling very easily, she turned her head, looked at the snow around her, and exhaled: "Xiaobei, look how clean this snow is." The entertainment industry is a big dye vat, and in this circle, some things are easy to be underestimated. In the past, I always thought that you were the most important person to me, and I had to be centered on you in order to live. But the truth is, I'm still alive and well without you. And now I can't go back to my old state of mind. Even if I wanted to, it couldn't be. So, let's all let it go. ”
Zhang Xiaobei shook his head and said slowly: "I will only remember that when I was most painful, when I was dying, it was you who were by my side." You said you loved me and would never leave me. ”
"yes. When you are most painful, when you are about to die, I am by your side. But at that time, who were you thinking and thinking about? You don't know me, I've loved you for so long, you don't know me! Have you ever thought about it, how much damage this is to me! Xu Manman retreated and slowly left him: "Xiaobei, I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. Don't want to ......"
Xu Manman stepped back step by step. She was very sad, she didn't know how to accept Zhang Xiaobei again. In her field of vision, Zhang Xiaobei's figure slowly became smaller as she retreated, like ink diluted in water, fading little by little.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaobei stepped forward quickly and grabbed her. He hugged Xu Manman tightly, grabbed the back of her head, and forcibly kissed her.
This kiss, like a raging storm, like a raging fire, is not gentle, but a powerful possession, captivity, anxiety.
Xu Manman's teeth were cracked by him, and she wanted to dodge, but her lips couldn't be avoided at all.
In the end, she could only ruthlessly use her killer move.
Lift your leg and stomp his foot. Zhang Xiaobei was in pain, and she kissed anxiously, forgetting her usual trick in the past. Unfortunately, he frowned in pain, and Xu Manman escaped from his clutches in this way.
"Well, let's just think it's a goodbye kiss." Reaching out and wiping the wetness off his mouth, "You know, my male protagonist and I also kiss often in the play, and their kissing skills are generally better than yours. ”
Zhang Xiaobei grabbed Xu Manman's wrist and said in a low and slow voice: "Manman, don't talk about yourself so badly. What are you thinking, don't think I don't know? I repeat, I don't care! ”
"So what?" Xu Manman asked: "Should I thank you for your generosity, even ecstatic?" I've slept with other men, and you accept me regardless of your previous suspicions! ”
"You know, that's not what I meant." The more Zhang Xiaobei spoke, the more chaotic he became, looking at Xu Manman, who was a little emotionally broken, he didn't know how to express it to make her understand.
"Xiaobei, don't pity me." Xu Manman smiled silently: "I don't think there's anything wrong with avenging my father in my own way." Aren't you also taking advantage of Qi Yuhuan's feelings? None of us are fuel-efficient lamps, and none of us should be God's mercy! ”
"Who will have mercy on you! Who wants to pity you! Zhang Xiaobei suddenly became angry, his eyes were as hot as fire, and penetrated directly from between Xu Manman's eyebrows: "I repeat, what I love you is!" I love you Manman! Even if this love is a little late, I just love you! ”
"But who scarces your love!" Xu Manman stretched out her hand and slapped him, and her tears fell: "Zhang Xiaobei, why did you go earlier?" What did you do earlier! You let me go, you let me go! ”
"Manman, I can't do it......" Zhang Xiaobei shook his head slowly.
"Slap" is another slap: "Don't pester me again, pester me again, I'll announce my relationship with Chen Minghui tomorrow!" ”
Zhang Xiaobei looked at her, still shaking his head.
Then there was another slap, and her hand became lighter and lighter, as if just to show her determination: "I will marry Chen Minghui tomorrow!" Or, I'll find a random man to marry! ”
He still shook his head.
In the neighborhood where she lives, more and more people buy breakfast to work. Some people saw her familiarity and cast strange glances at the strange man and woman.
Zhang Xiaobei in the cold wind was shivering. Her heart was trembling.
Unable to hold back any longer, Xu Manman turned around and ran upstairs.
The sound of car tires rubbing the ground sounded behind him, the sound was extremely harsh, Xu Manman just turned his head, and with a "thud", a red BMW car crashed head-on into Zhang Xiaobei who was facing her.
Zhang Xiaobei was like a snowflake, spinning lightly in the air, flying up and landing.
In an instant, Xu Manman's body froze, and the blood stopped flowing. She opened her mouth wide, and the position of her chest felt the heart-rending pain again.
Qi Yuhuan got out of the BMW, suddenly fell on Zhang Xiaobei, hugged him tightly, her hair was like the claws of the devil, constantly flying in the wind, and the roar sounded particularly sad in this lonely morning: "Xiaobei...... Xiaobei ...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... Why don't you love me...... Why isn't the person you love ...... me?"
*
The day Luo Changfeng's case was retried happened to be the day when Luo Qi and Chu Tianyou's baby was full moon.
The dozen or so people involved in the case have all received the punishment they deserve. Cui Minxing's storm was destroyed, and Deputy Mayor Xu Tian was removed from his post, remembering that he was old, and sentenced to three years, still on probation. Rocky respected her father's opinion and did not appeal.
The weather is very good, and the sun will be pink and white. At the door of the courthouse, Luo Qi saw Qi Yuwei and Xu's mother, who were despondent.
Mother Xu was holding her little granddaughter in her arms, probably affected by the emotions of adults, and was crying a lot.
After thinking about it, Luo Qi let go of her father's hand and walked slowly towards them. Luo Qi wore a grass green coat, the color was very bright, and the child immediately stopped crying when he saw Luo Qi. Turning a pair of big shining eyes, staring at her curiously.
What a lovely child, Rocky reached out and teasingly touched her face. Grabbing her hand, the child let out an innocent laugh.
"She really looks like you when she laughs, and she has a good voice, and she will definitely be a good host when she grows up." Luo Qi smiled at Qi Yuwei, owed to Mother Xu again, and turned to leave.
Behind her, Xu's mother stopped her: "Qiqi......"
She turned around, and Mother Xu's face was indifferent to the vicissitudes of life, and there was a trace of embarrassment: "You have not appealed, thank you dad for me." ”
Regarding Xu Tian's trial, everyone understood that it was not so much the law official website that opened the side, but the Luo family who let him go. No matter how arrogant Xu Jiarao is, he still feels ashamed in the face of the Luo family, who had a very close relationship in the past.
Luo Qi nodded, and Yun smiled lightly.
The baby's full moon banquet was set up in the Phoenix Tower, and after Chu Yexiao's death, Chu Tianyou naturally took over the Phoenix Tower. Worried that there would be too many people, he didn't invite business partners, and all the people who visited were his friends and Rocky's friends and relatives.
The host is fully responsible for Xu Manman, and she is now a popular figure in the entertainment industry. Wherever she is, she is popular. So although the full moon banquet was low-key, Chu Tianyou was not worried at all that his baby daughter would not make the headlines tomorrow.
It was Loki, who was afraid of attracting reporters and the media. In the past, she was twice frightened by the media, and she already had a psychological shadow on those reporters. Therefore, throughout the banquet, she watched the children closely, for fear of falling into the clutches of those unscrupulous reporters again.
"Quick, quick, Kiki, peel me an apple to eat. For your precious daughter, my throat is almost useless! As soon as he came off the stage, Xu Manman was busy looking for water to drink.
She sang a song with a high octave on stage, and when she usually practiced, her performance was not bad, but she almost broke the note just now, and when she came down, she was ridiculed by her friends.
Seeing that the cut fruit in the fruit bowl was empty, Rocky had to pick up a whole apple and look around for a knife. Just as Chu Tianyou passed by, she touched his waist.
"Hey, in public, be reserved." Chu Tianyou thought she was going to insult herself, and glared at her to warn her.
Luo Qi cut off: "Don't be self-inflicted, I love my daughter more than I love you." What about knives? Give it to me, I'm going to peel the fruit. ”
It turned out to be looking for a knife, Chu Tianyou was bored, pouted and handed her the dagger on his waist: "Be careful, this dagger is very sharp." ”
"Got it! Got it! Luo Qi took it impatiently, he always treasured this little object, as if there was a story in it.
Once, she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked him why he was so precious about this dagger from her classmate. But he was about to speak, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed back, so that she was not depressed.
The apple was only halfway peeled, and Xu Manman couldn't help but snatch it and nibble on it. Wiped the knife with a tissue, and Rocky was about to close it. Suddenly remembered that the owner of the dagger today, her classmate, also seemed to have come to the scene.
Hmph, that guy is mysterious, can't she ask herself?
Looking for the voice, she finally found the girl who looked very boyish and was named Xiao Ran.
"Hey! Do you remember this knife? She shook the dagger in front of Xiao Ran unreservedly, looking very gossipy.
"Make no mistake, I'm attending a full moon banquet, not a murder banquet, do you want to scare me like this?" Having said that, Xiao Ran still took the dagger.
The handle of the knife carved with dragon patterns is also engraved with the word "heaven", for Xiao Ran, who has advocated the aesthetics of violence since childhood, such a dagger is indeed very attractive to her.
"Kiki, do you want to give it to me?" She said that she was about to hide the dagger in her bag, but Luo Qi held it down: "Hey, this is my husband's baby, I want to say, can you give it to me?" ”
"I'll give it to you?" Xiao Ran pointed at the knife and then at himself, with a look of surprise: "This is your thing, what right do I have to give it to you?" ”
"My stuff?" Luo Qi was confused, "Isn't this yours?" When I was a child, I had a birthday, and you brought it to my house to play, and then it was left at my house. ”
Xiao Ran couldn't cry or laugh, holding the dagger: "You said it was mine?" This is obviously your thing, I found it under the bed in your room on my birthday. I also think that this knife is so exquisite, why was it stuffed under the bed by you, it must be that you are too quiet, and my father is strict, so I hid it. I just took it and played with it secretly for a while, and when I left, I threw you in the corner again. Don't you remember? ”
"You mean it's mine?" Luo Qi's mouth couldn't close in surprise, and her heart was very excited. This turned out to be hers, this turned out to be hers!
Xiao Ran gave her a roll of the eyes: "If you don't want it, you can give it to me!" ”
"Not really!" Luo Qi suddenly snatched the dagger in her hand as if she was protecting some treasure, and fled as if flying.
Walking to a quiet place, holding the dagger, her heart pounding, she struggled to remember something. It was as if her brain had opened in an instant, and she finally remembered the origin of the knife.
She was seven or eight years old at the time, and on her way home from school, she suddenly encountered a fight. In the heavy rain, through the car window, she saw a big brother injured and lying on the ground, the heavy rain soaked his clothes, and the blood flowed all over the ground, as if he was going to die in the next second.
With her little hand on the window glass, she suddenly felt sorry for him. After stopping the driver, she jumped out of the car with an umbrella, walked up to the big brother, and used the small umbrella in her hand to cover him from the wind and rain.
Dad said that when a person is injured, he can't be put to sleep, so in order not to let him fall asleep, she has to talk to him endlessly, she tells him what she saw in school, about the little boy who likes her, about her fierce father every day, and that's it, until the ambulance came, and she watched him being carried into the car by the doctor.
He took her hand and handed her the dagger, and she heard him say to her in a weak voice, "Take it and look for me...... Find me ......."
The dagger was stained with his blood, and along the way, she took out her little handkerchief, and kept wiping it, and kept wiping it, polishing it brightly, and at that time she didn't know many words, but she knew the word on it, and that word was pronounced "heaven".
When she got home, the driver reported the incident to her father as soon as possible. Dad was furious and threw a tantrum at her, saying that she shouldn't approach a wounded stranger, who might be a gangster, who might have killed her with a single knife, and even asked her to hand over the dagger.
Rocky had never seen her dad lose his temper so much, and she was terrified. I had to lie and say that on the way back, I threw away the dagger. Seeing her silent, Dad believed her. While going to bed at night, Rocky struggled for a long time and finally decided to throw the dagger under her little bed......
Childhood was always full of all kinds of good things, full of endless attractions, such a little thing gradually faded into her mind, and she could no longer even remember that she had comforted a wounded big brother in the rain, and that dagger, which represented some kind of promise, was also kept by her in that inconspicuous corner.
Holding the dagger in her hand, Rocky's heart was surging, and her tears suddenly welled up. In the past, she was always entangled, she met Chu Tianyou one step later than Chen Ziyan, but who knew whom first?
It turns out that love is not divided into morning and evening, in no particular order, just like her and Chu Tianyou, in the dark, it is already doomed.
"Kiki, Kiki......" Far away, Xu Manman was crying and calling her name, and when she saw her hiding in the corner, she pounced and hugged Luo Qi.
Xu Manman's tears fell on Luo Qi's neck, and she heard her childlike sobs: "Qiqi, I'm so happy today. The hospital called, Xiaobei woke up, and he finally woke up...... He woke up, he finally woke up......"
