Chapter 124: Persecution
Chen Chen's small apartment was crowded with people, all to catch her up. Anna happily pulled her and said non-stop, Kiki didn't like too many people, so she left early with her bag on her back. Liu Ya also showed a rare slightly stiff smile, and accompanied everyone to drink glass after glass. The atmosphere was very good, until Liu Chang put down his wine glass and began to stand on the table and shout.
"It's scattered, the reception banquet is scheduled for tomorrow night, and everyone will meet again tomorrow. Today's time is precious, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, I hope everyone will leave in an orderly manner now and walk out of this apartment. ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation on the table.
A small group of people had a tacit understanding, and at Liu Chang's suggestion, they left one by one with a bad smile, and no one was willing to stay for a while even if Chen Chen blushed and stayed. Liu Chang was the last to go, lying at the door and lewdly handing Zhang Zhe a small box, patting him on the shoulder and leaving without looking back.
Zhang Zhe grabbed the 'family planning supplies' in his hand and looked at Liu Chang helplessly and ran away with an expression of 'don't explain, I understand'. He gently closed the door and locked it with a 'click'.
Immediately afterward, he was hit the waist. Zhang Zhe stepped back a little and leaned against the door, and the person who rushed over hugged his waist tightly, tears moistening his shirt little by little.
The disposable cups used on the table were still in place, and the apartment that had not been active for several months was a little empty and shady, Chen Chen hugged Zhang Zhe, and the tears that he had endured for so long were wiped on his body at one time.
This is what she wants to do the most, and she has endured it until now: "Why bother trying to save me, it's not easier to leave here and forget me." ”
Feeling her leaning on her own temperature and tears soaked through her clothes, Zhang Zhe's voice was a little hoarse, but his heart was sour and comfortable: "It's more difficult for me to forget about you." I've loved you for so long that I don't have the energy to love others. ”
It took the first thirty years of her life to meet her, and how many thirty years can you have in a lifetime to meet the person you love.
She didn't speak, just put her arms around his waist harder. Zhang Zhe was exhausted by the energy he had spent in the past two months, and he finally understood why no matter how fair people in the judiciary were asked to avoid suspicion when dealing with the cases of their loved ones. It's really linked to the person he cares about, he feels that his brain and thinking seem to fall to the bottom of the IQ level in an instant, and every time he thinks of a way, he is tired as if he has drained his blood. Fear and worry surround me all the time, as if doing nothing is useless. Now, don't you want to separate in the future? It's better not to separate.
"Chen Chen, do you want to go home with me?"
Zhang Zhe's tone was as gentle as before, but it seemed to be mixed with something. Chen Chen was silent in his arms for a moment. She hadn't thought that now that she was halfway through her career, she would leave so much because of this setback?
Her silence was the best answer. Zhang Zhe let out a long sigh.
"Come home with me. I wouldn't have asked for you if it hadn't been for this incident. But now, I can't leave you here. ”
She still didn't speak. Chen Chen's silence was not because she refused, because she hadn't thought about it herself, and at this moment, she didn't want to make a decision. Her mind was confused, and she didn't feel like she could make a rational judgment. But Zhang Zhe didn't know.
"I know you were like that before you got married, and I shouldn't have forced you now. But with Luo Yangfan here, how can you let me rest assured that you are staying here. He began to press hard, and this time he didn't seem to want to give up easily.
"It's okay... I... Chen Chen's tone was hesitant, wanting to refute, but he didn't know how to find comforting words to put forward a convincing basis.
The arms around her gradually loosened and began to slip down, the feeling of suffocation began to magnify, Chen Chen let go of his hand and raised his head to look at Zhang Zhe, there were tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and when he saw her raise her head, he wiped it down in a panic.
"Zhang Zhe... She was a little frightened and didn't know why she was starting to be afraid.
"What if I threaten you? I'm forcing you to choose between the Law Fund and me, which do you want? His voice trembled slightly, as if he had just made a decision that he didn't want to make.
"Zhang Zhe, don't be like this... Saying that, she stepped forward and wanted to hug him again, but Zhang Zhe took a step back.
This step was like a moat, so that she no longer dared to move forward, so she could only stand on the other side and stare at him.
"I asked you which one do you want?" Zhang Zhe gritted his teeth and asked again, as if he really wanted to force her to make a decision at this moment.
"We're talking about tomorrow, okay? I miss you so much. Chen Chen began to show weakness and wanted him to calm down first.
But Zhang Zhe did not admit defeat immediately when he saw her pretending to be pitiful as before.
"I know the Law Fund is important to you, but what about me? Am I not heavy enough for you, or not? Do you know how I've spent these two months? I'm scared every day, I'm so afraid that you'll be bullied if you're alone, I'm so scared that I won't see you even if I'm here. I've been scared since you left, it's terrible to wait for so long, I know I can't live without you, but I'm also worried that there will be someone here who makes you feel more comfortable than me. Is it good this time, will you choose me? Come home with me. ”
Zhang Zhe still didn't hold back his tears, and his tone slowly changed from questioning just now to pleading. He didn't quite understand where he was born with the heart of competition, or the dream of 'competing for favor' that she had been holding on to for so long. But human beings are like this, fickle and fragile, and perhaps a split second thought can make people choose another path. Maybe it was Chen Chen's hesitation, maybe it was because of his nervousness, or maybe it was because he was really afraid that he would encounter some calamity again, if he couldn't get through it next time, would it make Zhang Zhe feel more uncomfortable than what she had endured this time.
He was blaming himself for his inability to do anything.
"Don't do this, okay? I just came back ... Will you hug me? ”
Chen Chen felt aggrieved, she didn't know what she wanted now, and it was not easy for her to leave that place to see him, and she didn't want to think about anything now. But Zhang Zhe seems to be determined to let her make a decision now, she has no decision, every time she is persecuted, she can't think calmly, and all the decisions she makes will make her regret. She didn't want to make a decision now, so she had to plead in a low voice.
But Zhang Zhe in front of him was obviously still forbearing, in front of her, Zhang Zhe couldn't hide his emotions at all, and the slightest change was obvious in Chen Chen's eyes, like fireworks at night. She wanted to hug him, comfort him, and comfort herself.
She has been hesitating, Zhang Zhe can see it. The feeling of congestion in his brain made him forget what he was in, and he couldn't tell why he was doing it. The only thought left at this moment was to take her away, to go now, to leave this place, to take her home. He suddenly wished she could come over and hug him, but she stood on the other side and didn't move.
Zhang Zhe felt helpless.
"You can rest for a while. I booked the earliest ticket home. What if you ... The choking of tears made him swallow back the next words, turned his back to her, and walked out the door step by step. Zhang Zhe's speed was very slow, and he was expecting her to walk by and hug him. Obviously, she knew that as long as she made a request, she couldn't refuse, so why didn't she be tough and yell at him now.
"Zhang Zhe, don't be like this...
But she did nothing, just shouted his name in vain behind her. But this couldn't stop Zhang Zhe's panic at all, he just wanted to urgently prove that he was unique in her heart.
He stood up and placed his right hand on his left ring finger. seemed to guess his thoughts, and in the next second, Chen Chen suddenly stiffened in place.
"Zhang Zhe doesn't... Her body shrank slightly in fear, and she trembled and began to plead with him, whispering 'Don't'
Zhang Zhe stood opposite her and took the wedding ring back little by little, holding it in his hand and handing it to her.
His hands were trembling, but now Chen Chen couldn't tell the difference. The blood in her body seemed to rush into her brain in an instant, and the next second it would pierce her skull and kill her. Her confused thinking made her unable to understand why this was the case, or why it was the way it was. There was no room left for her to see what was going on, and all that was left was to pray.
"Zhang Zhe, please, don't...
She didn't stretch out her hand, and Zhang Zhe felt that her heart was dripping blood. Her whispered pleading voice made him wonder if he had done something wrong again. He no longer knew his original intentions, and could only comfort himself that he was trying to force her to go home now. In his mind, Zhang Zhe outlined a reasonable explanation for his actions with 'good for her'. It seems that this way you won't feel sinful and you won't feel so bad. can also stop the urge to hug her because of seeing her shrink uncomfortably.
If she really hugged her, she wouldn't go back with herself. Zhang Zhe gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out and closed the door. The clenched left hand finally opened, and the place where the thumb was pressed tightly re-revealed his wedding ring.
He didn't pick it at all, how could he be willing to pick it. But he couldn't see Chen Chen crying desperately alone in the closed room.
Chen Chen hadn't calmed down yet, and she didn't understand why Zhang Zhe did this. His thoughts were all stuck at the moment when Zhang Zhe took off his movements. What now? Zhang Zhe is really going to leave her, what should I do now? Obviously, when he was in prison, he refused to see him, and he first mentioned that he wanted to leave him, but when he really faced this moment, why did he suddenly feel uncomfortable and suddenly hope that he would die in the next moment. Don't want to face the current situation, don't want to face the fact that he will leave.
How could Zhang Zhe leave.
Indeed, how could he possibly leave.
