CHAPTER XXII. 6

In Sanya in November, Song Li, who was in good spirits, was instantly watered with all hope by a drinking party, and everything that happened more than a year ago seemed to be pulled in front of her eyes, and everything seemed to be just yesterday.

Chen Xi knew about the reception early in the morning, but he didn't tell Song Li. He also knew that someone would come, and he was afraid that Song Li would not want to go, so he couldn't say anything until she saw him.

Chen Xi chose a champagne-colored dress for her, and Song Li followed her to the venue with not too heavy makeup.

As soon as she entered, Song Li saw a few familiar stars, it seems that today's battle is not small, and she also knows that the people who can come to today's cocktail party are all figures with heads and faces in the circle, so even if she is not very reluctant, she still tries to stand by Chen Xi's side with a smile to save face for him.

Until that person appeared.

Xu Sheng walked onto the stage, and after a few jokes, he announced the official start of the drinking party, Song Li was stunned in place, feeling that a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe.

Chen Xi was still greeting the people around her, and the person asked Song Li a few words out of politeness, but at this time, she couldn't hear anything in her ears except for her own scream when Ran Changan fell. Chen Xi touched her, Song Li finally came to his senses, and the people around him retreated with interest, and he saw that her eyes were full of pain. At that time, in the corridor of the hospital, Han Xiaomo's words were clear in my ears.

The person who can save Song Li is dead, and you are nothing to her.

She looked at him like that, and he looked back at her quietly. From her devastation, he saw his own cowardice, humiliation, and failure.

With a fire in his heart, he grabbed Song Li, who turned around and was about to leave, his eyes were full of bloodshot left by the fatigue of these days, looking at her eyes, he said word by word, "No, Xu, go." ”

Each of us has people and things that we have not been able to face so far, not because the time is not long enough, but because the wound in the past is so large that it is not enough time to heal him completely after a lifetime. You can stand on the moral high ground and reprimand us "cowardly" people who evade and can't solve any problems, or you can take a bite of chicken soup for the soul to comfort us that there is still love in this world. However, do you really understand the "empathy" in your mouth?

Song Li restrained herself from crying and put on makeup, she looked at Chen Xi and asked, "You already knew he would come, didn't you?" ”

Chen Xi's heart fire was ignited again by her last "yes", he looked at her, and then replied angrily, "Yes." ”

"You think that's fun? Or do you feel how proud you are to stand here today as a winner?! Song Li had tears in his eyes, "You take me around like a victor to show off, I never said a word to you, because you always say that you love me more than I love you, I hope you can see my changes, but you shouldn't take my compromise for granted." I didn't care if there was still fairness in this world for a long time, because the person on the stage let me know that the weak eat the strong in this world, and the survival of the fittest. I remember, I remember, my face hurt so much, Chen Xi, I will remember it for the rest of my life! Song Li shook off his hand, and after a while, she wiped away her tears, turned to look at him, and said softly, "Maybe I can give far less than you think." ”

Xu Sheng raised his wine glass, Chen Xi was suspended in the air by Song Li's thrown hands, he didn't know what he had just done, just like the excitement of the audience, but none of them could understand the sadness behind his smile.

Song Li used all the money on the card that night to book a ticket back to Chang'an.

At the end of the reception, Chen Xi opened the door tiredly, and all he saw was the expensive champagne-colored dress lying on the bed.
