CHAPTER XXII 4

After returning home, lighting candles and turning off the lights, Song Li sat opposite Chen Xi, the candlelight jumping in each other's eyes.

Chen Xi sat cross-legged on the carpet, "Song Li, I want to say a few words to you." ”

Song Li lowered his eyes.

"Song Li, do you know what I regret the most so far?" Chen Xi asked.

Song Li shook his head.

"When Ran Changan left, I couldn't be by your side, and until now, I still hate myself when I think about it."

"Actually, you don't have to." Song Li said softly.

"In your opinion, maybe it's really unnecessary, because you think Ran Changan has nothing to do with anyone in this world, don't you?"

"Can you not talk about Chang'an······ Song Li's voice was very small, but Chen Xi still heard the sadness in it.

"Humph!" Chen Xi sneered, "I knew that you would be like this when I talked about him, maybe my current attitude is that you can show the best." Chen Xi pursed his lips, looked at the candle and continued, "I have long given up on letting you forget him, you have your way, I don't force you, but this is also the maximum tolerance I can do for you." Song Li, even if there is no me between you and Xiao Pei, you will not be able to go to the end. ”

Song Li lowered his head, suddenly smiled, and then raised his head to look at the opposite pair of eyes for the first time, "I know, I didn't blame anyone for what I did with Xiao Pei." ”

"What about us?" Chen Xi's words made Song Li feel scared, and she knew that she had to face the one she had been avoiding today.

"Maybe you're right, I'm a little unwilling to you, but you can't say I don't love you, it's unfair to me if you say that."

Song Li silently lowered her head again, and after a while, she whispered, "Chen Xi, it's not that I won't fall in love with you, it's just that I've been through so much, I'm already very tired, I don't want to toss so much anymore, what I want now is stability, a stability that is not disturbed by others." From my father's accident to Chang'an's departure, to now, I've had enough. I don't want to waste energy on those fruitless things, my mom is old, her health is not good, grandma has been in and out of the hospital a lot in the past two years, plus, plus my dad will be released from prison early next year, some things, I always feel that I am not ready to face the age, but the facts have pushed them all in front of my eyes. Chen Xi, from going to college at the age of 19 to now, these six years are the best time for a girl, but I have failed to live up. I'm sorry for a lot of people, including you, but also myself. The rest of the days, I want to have a good time, I told you, I don't want two people who have already given a lot to each other, and then be ordered to stop by others. Your family won't allow someone like me, I know, I know, I know! Song Li was a little excited, she paused, swallowed back her tears, and looked at the half-burned candle dripping on the cake with the words "I love you", "Chen Xi, don't be like this, because I'm afraid that I won't be able to control it at all in the end, I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you······"

Time condenses, this is the most beautiful love sentence Chen Xi has ever heard.

He reached out to wipe the tears from her face, a little choked, but still smiled as much as he could, "It's almost twelve o'clock, and if I don't blow out the candles, my birthday will be over." Song Li, can you wish me a happy birthday? ”

Song Li was still crying in a low voice, she raised her head, with tears on her face, squeezed out a smile hard, and then said, "Chen Xi, happy birthday." ”

Chen Xi held her face hard, "Song Li, I beg you to fall in love with me." ”

The two figures drew closer in the candlelight, the burning candle was extinguished, and in the darkness, he kissed her lips hard, tasting the bitterness of her mouth.
