Chapter 160: Hypocrisy
"Ah Xuan, I never told you, before I met you, I was probably less than ten years old at that time, but I was already very disappointed in the people around me, if it wasn't for your arrival, I think I would have died outside the orphanage in a dark corner. Not only did you keep me alive, but your appearance was the only light in my heart at that time, and it was you who gave me a new lease of life. ”
Song Qi quickly finished this paragraph, and without waiting for Shang Xuan's reaction, he said again, "I don't care how much time you have, this time I escaped death and was able to see you again, I only have gratitude in my heart, every second I spend with you is a gift from God, I selfishly want more, not because I want to sympathize with you or feel pitiful for you, do you understand?" ”
The love in his eyes became more and more obvious, Shang Xuan pursed his lips and was speechless.
"Or, you don't need to reply to me so quickly, you can think about it first."
"Song Qi," Shang Xuan said slowly, "I heard Tang Tang say that the accident four years ago was Ji Xinran's hands and feet on the car, I didn't understand it before, but now I seem to have figured it out, did you break up with Ji Xinran because of me?" ”
College life is coming to an end, and on the project he cooperated with Ji Xincheng, Song Qi saw Shang Xuan, and his attention to him was out of control, but Song Qi still knew clearly in his heart that Shang Xuan was no longer Shang Xuan when he was a child, and even if he wanted to go further in the relationship between the two, he would first be responsible for his girlfriend Ji Xinran at the time.
He was very conflicted, but he never had the slightest act or even a thought.
Even let Shang Xuan know that they had lived in the same orphanage, but Song Qi passively told him after several contacts, and Shang Xuan only recognized him after that. The relationship between the two became one step closer after recognizing each other, but Song Qi knew that in Shang Xuan's heart, she always treated him as an elder brother.
In school, many boys pursued Shang Xuan, and for a while they had to deal with a stalker senior, the other party wanted to see Shang Xuan's so-called boyfriend, otherwise he would not die, so Song Qi proposed that the two pretend to take an intimate photo at school to help her solve this problem.
There are many ways to take intimate photos, but nothing is more direct than kissing.
The two of them were by the school lake, so they naturally thought of this, so they borrowed the opportunity to take this photo.
And this photo, I don't know when it came to Ji Xinran, Ji Xinran questioned Song Qi, Song Qi did not deny it, and the two broke up. But this is just the fuse, Song Qi knows very well that what really makes him and Ji Xinran unable to go on is that he can't forget Shang Xuan in his heart.
And no matter what the reason was, it was impossible for him to speak directly to Shang Xuan.
So he said, "The two of us broke up, mainly because of their incompatible personalities. ”
"But you always apologize to Ji Xinran for taking revenge on me." Shang Xuan said bluntly, "Because you feel indebted to me, you want to compensate me with this." ”
“……”
Song Qi didn't expect her to think like this, and she used statements instead of questions, her face turned pale for a while, and after a long time, she snorted, "Ah Xuan, I was with Ji Xinran, just because the feeling she gave me at that time made me think of you from time to time...... I know I'm shameless about it, but that's the way it is. ”
Shang Xuan stared at Song Qi in surprise, somewhat subverting her past perception of him.
In addition to being a big brother in her heart, she is also a rare confidant, they have similar experiences and pasts, so that they are almost the same in their views on many things, she always wants to rely on him when she is together, that is the idea of a family member who trusts completely, she never thought that there would be anything else between them......
Shang Xuan fell into a long silence again.
Song Qi got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, his bowl of noodles didn't move much at all, but it was already cold, he took this opportunity to divert the atmosphere between the two that seemed to have solidified, or the same sentence, "You don't have to answer me right away, you ......"
"Song Qi, this may make you more miserable."
He stopped and was about to turn away, and the hand holding the chopsticks was so tight that his knuckles were white, "Ah Xuan, when I was suffering in my life, I could always think of you, it was you who let me know that memories can be sweet, even in memories, every second I see you can make me feel extremely happy." If in this life, in the end, I can't get together with you, that's my biggest regret and pain. ”
Shang Xuan was sitting, Song Qi was standing, she looked up slightly at the man opposite, and looked at it for a long time.
"Okay, then we're together."
Song Qi stared at Shang Xuan, who looked calm, without turning his eyes, and only reacted for a while before he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, "Ah Xuan,......"
Shang Xuan lowered her eyes and interrupted him, "I don't know if this decision is right or not, but at least for this moment, I am willing." ”
Song Qi, who was crying with joy in her heart, her eyes were even redder, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and the smile was almost trembling, and she stretched out her hand and said, "Okay, I know." ”
Shang Xuan naturally put his hand in his palm, but pulled him back to sit down opposite him, his expression was gentle, "I haven't finished eating yet." ”
Song Qi didn't know what he wanted to do when he stretched out his hand, he just wanted to be closer to her, and when he heard her words, he couldn't help laughing, and he was stupid and stupid.
Shang Xuan also looked at him and smiled, let go of his hand, and lowered his head to drink the soup.
"Cool, isn't it?" He asked.
"It's not cold, there's no oil, I'm not afraid." She lowered her head and took another sip, "I didn't seem to have eaten noodle soup before. ”
This compliment was a bit sudden, Song Qi looked at her, and lost her mind for a while.
Shang Xuan looked at the bowl of noodles in his hand, then at his face, and asked seriously, "Are you really not hungry, or can't you eat it in front of me?" ”
"I'm hungry now."
Song Qi picked up the chopsticks again, devoured them and ate them, like a child who had been comforted, with ironing joy at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He understands that Shang Xuan has no love for him at the moment, but as long as she is willing to let herself stay by her side, Song Qi doesn't care about any other name.
And Shang Xuan, looking at Song Qi like this, at the moment when he didn't notice it, tears vaguely flashed in his eyes.
-
In the evening, Gu Shaoze attended a dinner and met Gu Nan in the clubhouse.
Gu Nan has never participated in many socials, and the rare times he has been extremely restrained, he will never drink himself like this. In the confusion that Gu Nan couldn't even tell Gu Shaoze and Gu Chang apart, Gu Shaoze still called the driver in the end, and the two of them sent him back to the old mansion together.
Gu Nan had his own residence in Dragon City, but Gu Shaoze had never been there, so he didn't bother to inquire.
Sending Gu Nan home, Gu Shaoze didn't plan to stay longer, but when he saw the light on in Gu Tingting's room, he asked the housekeeper, "Tingting is back?" ”
"Yes." The butler glanced at the door, his brow worried.
Gu Shaoze saw it, so he asked, "Temper tantrum again?" ”
"I haven't eaten for a day, and since the last accident, she doesn't seem to have moved snacks to the house, and her temperament is the same as a different person, but I'm afraid that I will have a stomach ache when I go hungry and sleep at night."
Gu Shaoze recalled the last time he saw Gu Tingting at a party at home, and seemed to have heard Ji Xincheng mention that she had lost some weight.
"What's in the kitchen?"
"There's porridge." The housekeeper even saw Gu Shaoze's thoughts, "I'll go and serve it." ”
Gu Shaoze nodded, and when he went down the stairs, he turned to the door of Gu Tingting's bedroom, knocked lightly, there was no movement inside, he knocked again, only to hear the door panel shook, as if someone had smashed something on the door, and then Gu Tingting roared impatiently, "Don't bother me!" ”
"It's me, give you a minute, open the door."
The only one who would limit her time to let her open the door was Gu Shaoze, and Gu Tingting in the room immediately lost her voice.
Dozens of seconds later, the door was pulled open from the inside by Gu Tingting, she was expressionless, but when she saw Gu Shaoze, she still didn't dare to be too angry, she turned around and picked up the pillow on the floor, and greeted in a muffled voice, "Uncle." ”
"What's wrong?" Gu Shaoze stood at the door and didn't move, seeing that she was still wearing clothes to go out, her shoulder-length hair was messy, and her face was extremely bad, so she couldn't help frowning.
"Come in, I haven't slept yet."
At this time, the housekeeper also hurriedly came to the front with a tray, Gu Shaoze reached out to take it, and entered Gu Tingting's room.
Gu Tingting knew his intentions, and immediately sank her face again, "I don't eat!" ”
"The housekeeper said you haven't eaten all day?" Ignoring her objections, he placed the plate on the coffee table in front of the couch.
"If you don't eat for a day, you won't starve to death."
"What the hell is going on?"
Gu Shaoze was impatient to see her languishing like this, but he would rather be as unreasonable as before, at least full of vitality.
"The final exam is coming, don't you see it temporarily? I just haven't eaten two meals, you just ask, as if I'm going to die! ”
Gu Shaoze's brows moved, and he had already walked to her large desk by the window, and indeed saw all kinds of textbooks and books spread out on the table, looking very hard.
"Heavy schoolwork?" His tone had softened.
"Did you know? Now I really regret going back to China to go to college, and those who comfort you that you will be easy to go to college after the college entrance examination are not all! ”
Gu Shaoze smiled and glanced at Gu Tingting, "It's useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, you can take as many exams as you can, and eat first." ”
"Uncle, even you look down on me like this?"
"Why bother if others look down on you or not? It's good that you're having a good time yourself, come, finish eating before you continue. His softened tone was doting, like Gu Tingting was coquettish with him when she was a child, he always said, 'It's okay, with an uncle, you can do whatever you want'.
But when she became an adult, Gu Tingting only saw her uncle's strictness and discipline of him, and she was no longer a child, when did her uncle come back?
Gu Tingting looked at Gu Shaoze with an inquiring gaze.
Gu Shaoze's eyes were sharp, and he only asked, "What are you looking at?" ”
"Have you been having a good time lately?" She asked this inexplicably, and sat down on the sofa to drink porridge.
Gu Shaoze also sat down opposite her, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"You don't like to lose your temper anymore!" It's obviously a good thing, but Gu Tingting said it at this time, but there was an awkward look in it.
Gu Shaoze raised his eyebrows, how could he not know what she meant, and suddenly said, "You don't blame her, do you?" ”
"Who?"
"Your aunt."
Gu Tingting's movements were stagnant, and she soon continued to divide the porridge into the small bowl, held the small bowl and tasted a small bite, before scooping more than a spoonful into her mouth, and said vaguely: "When did I blame her, I can afford to blame her." ”
If this is said by the original Gu Tingting, it is undoubtedly full of cynicism, but the current Gu Tingting, this is almost muttering to herself, which makes Gu Shaoze already convinced that the beauty recipe that Ji Xincheng asked him to hand over during this time is really not in vain.
Seeing that Gu Shaoze was thoughtful and didn't react, Gu Tingting said again: "Uncle, are you particularly embarrassed?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"She's actually annoying me, isn't she? I scolded her like that, and you asked her to find me some ointment. ”
"I didn't ask her to find it."
"What?" Gu Tingting obviously didn't believe it.
"She was afraid that you would know that she found it and didn't want to use it, so she asked me to hand it over."
Gu Tingting blinked, looked at Gu Shaoze, lowered her head and ate two mouthfuls of porridge before she said slowly, "Whoever said I didn't want to use it, if it works so well, whoever gives it to me is willing to use it!" ”
Gu Shaoze chuckled, a good-faced little girl, this is really like him.
Watching her finish eating most of the bowl of porridge, she was ready to get up, and said before leaving, "Don't think too much, your aunt is not as stingy as you, and she can't hold grudges at every turn, she didn't blame you for your attitude towards her before, and she regretted that she didn't take you home at the door of the club that day, she reflected on it and said that she shouldn't have turned around and left after you scolded her so much." ”
Gu Shaoze said that he had already walked around the sofa to the door, Gu Tingting hurriedly put down the bowl and followed out.
"Uncle, I'll send you!"
The little girl pursed her lips, but there was joy in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, Gu Shaoze rubbed her messy hair, nodded and went downstairs with her, "Don't stay up too late, the score doesn't mean anything, it's almost enough." ”
Gu Tingting never knew how to be polite before, and today she sent him to the car and told the driver to be careful on the road.
"In that case, you can thank her for me, and also help me apologize to her, and say that I forgive her!" Gu Tingting knocked down the back seat window and said something to Gu Shaoze at the end.
Gu Shaoze pretended not to understand, and asked her seriously, "Who is she?" ”
Gu Tingting glared at him in annoyance, "Oops! I don't care, I've already said it anyway, it's not my problem if you tell me or not! Uncle Zhang, drive quickly! ”
The car drove into the forest lane, and even the driver Lao Zhang sighed, "After this incident, the little lady is much more sensible." ”
Gu Shaoze smiled and said nothing, he thought of Ji Xincheng, probably she would be happier than him when she heard this?
But the result was beyond Gu Shaoze's expectations, he returned home and told Ji Xincheng what Gu Tingting said, but he didn't expect her to put on the mask for a long time without saying a word, Gu Shaoze said again, and she said lazily, "You don't have to pretend to comfort me, it's not a matter of a day or two that your niece doesn't like me, I won't have anything in my heart because of this." ”
"What do you say, hypocrisy?"
