When Duan Shaoling woke up again, he was lying in the Zou family's room, and Chen Zui was sitting on the stool next to him.

"You're awake, does the wound still hurt?"

Duan Shaoling sat up and shook his head, "It's okay." After thinking about it, he asked again: "What about Cheng Jing?" Are you still blaming me? ”

Chen Zui comforted him: "How could it be? In fact, Cheng Jing didn't think about shooting Xue Qingning at that time, but she was suspicious of her identity and wanted to force her to tell the truth. Later, I explained to Cheng Jing that she won't go to her heart anymore, so you don't need to worry. ”

Duan Shaoling breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Zui said again: "What you should be worried about now is not whether Cheng Jingsheng is angry, but Bao'er, she can see your side of sacrificing yourself to save beauty, and her true feelings are revealed." ”

Duan Shaoling was speechless, he remembered that it was Chen Zui who carried him back to the room, and Zou Bao'er came in to clean and treat his wounds again. At that time, there were just the two of them in the room, and the moment the two made eye contact, Zou Bao'er deliberately avoided his gaze, but the incomprehension and resentment in his eyes hit Duan Shaoling's heart hard.

Zou Bao'er was a competent nurse, just concentrating on treating his injuries and didn't say anything. Duan Shaoling felt very sad and guilty. That's it, wait until the injury is healed, and then find a chance to explain it to her.

Chen Zui got closer, and he hated that iron could not become steel, "You think things have always been the most comprehensive, why are only emotional things so dull, and I don't even know who I like." Now that you know that what you like is Xue Qingning, there are only two ways in front of you, first, don't think about Xue Qingning anymore, and treat Bao'er well in the future, and the second is to make it clear to Bao'er, and then pursue your own happiness. ”

Duan Shaoling hesitated to answer, and Chen Zui made a decision for him directly: "Make it clear to Bao'er, to pursue what you love, and being with the person you like is the most important thing, not to mention that Xue Qingning also likes you." ”

Duan Shaoling raised his eyebrows at him, with an expression that you could not see.

"Do you think everyone is like you? Besides, I'm a man in love, and I don't know what my other half looks like when he looks at me? Pushing yourself and others, Xue Qingning looked at you with the same eyes as Cheng Jing did when she looked at me, I guessed that she had feelings for you in her heart, maybe she didn't even know herself like you. ”

Someone came in at the door, it was a subordinate from the Zou Mansion who brought food, and it was Zou Bao'er who ordered the meal specially prepared for him, a patient.

"You have a good meal, I'll go to Chengjing to go shopping on the street together, we'll go back tomorrow afternoon, your injuries won't be affected."

Duan Shaoling had dinner, lay down to rest again, and woke up again at nine o'clock. Since he came back to rest in the afternoon, he has recovered most of his injuries. Chen Zui hasn't come back yet, Duan Shaoling sat on the bed and thought about what happened today, especially what Chen Zui said, he should be like Chen Zui and bravely face his feelings.

He is going back tomorrow, he should make it clear to Bao'er, and he can't lie to her anymore, let alone delay her.

turned over and got out of bed, changed her clothes, and just walked to Zou Baoer's yard, she saw Li Chengjing coming back, and it seemed that she had just come back.

Li Chengjing knew his intention, "You're here to find Bao'er." ”

"Well, you call her for me, I'll wait here."

Li Chengjing didn't say anything, and went in and called Zou Baoer out.

The two walked a little farther, Duan Shaoling took the initiative to tell her what happened after he and Xue Qingning met, and even Xue Qingning's identity was also said, "Qingning is also worried about affecting you, so she hid it from you, I hope you don't blame her." ”

Duan Shaoling's sincere explanation not only failed to impress Zou Bao'er, but in exchange for her cold rebuttal: "You are so anxious to speak for her, am I so unsure of right and wrong in your heart?" ”

Duan Shaoling touched a nail of anger, and said busily: "I didn't mean that, I just ......"

"You didn't come to me just to explain Qingning, just say what you want."

"When Chen Zui and Cheng Jing's marriage is over, I'm going to leave here."

Zou Bao'er looked at him: "You want to go to Qingning, right?" ”

Duan Shaoling took a deep breath and finally said, "Yes, I'm going to find her, and the road she said makes people have no hesitation." ”

Zou Bao'er chuckled at the corner of her mouth, "What about me?" What are you going to do to me? ”

Duan Shaoling didn't dare to look at her directly, and said curtly: "I'm sorry Bao'er, I didn't see my heart clearly early in the morning, I hurt you and failed your sincerity." But I have made my heart clear, and I can no longer deceive myself, it will not be fair to you. ”

"It's not fair." Zou Bao'er repeated. "You're finally willing to admit that you like Qingning."

"Did you ever like me in your heart?" Zou Bao'er forced her eyes on him, not letting him dodge anything.

"I'm sorry." Duan Shaoling could only say these three words.

'Bang', Zou Bao'er slapped Duan Shaoling's left cheek, sobbing and running out, Duan Shaoling chased after him, "Bao'er......"

"Don't follow me." Zou Bao'er shouted without looking back, choked with anger.

Duan Shaoling didn't dare to catch up again, stood for a moment, walked to her door and knocked twice, Li Chengjing opened the door and saw him alone, "Where is Bao'er?" ”

"Bao'er ran out angrily, at night, I'm worried about her alone, please go and get her back."

"You told Bao'er the truth?"

Duan Shaoling nodded, "She doesn't want to see me now." ”

Li Chengjing persuaded: "Don't worry, this is in Guicheng, no one of the Zou family's young ladies dares to provoke, and Bao'er has the ability to protect herself, and she will be fine." It's better to let her go out alone and be quiet, it's even more painful to hold it in my heart, and if she hasn't come back after a while, I'll go out to find her again. ”

Duan Shaoling had no choice but to go back to the room first.

After nearly an hour, Zou Baoer didn't come back, and Li Chengjing began to feel a little relieved, put on her clothes, and went out to look for her.

When Zou Bao'er found the outside of the city, he saw Duan Shaoling not hesitating to block in front of Xue Qingning with his own life, he looked at Xue Qingning, the tenderness in his eyes, how had he ever seen it? Duan Shaoling has always been only grateful to her, and there is politeness to her.

At that moment, she couldn't have been clearer about who Duan Shaoling's heart loved, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope that Duan Shaoling would be as moved by her affection as before, and couldn't bear to leave. Wait until the evening, in exchange for him confessing to another woman in person, and then telling himself that he has never loved himself.

The last thoughts were shattered, and pain, disappointment, and anger welled up from my heart like a flood bursting its banks......

She couldn't bear to stand in front of him anymore, and all her emotions turned into heavy teardrops, crying silently in a no-man's corner.

After venting for a while, he barely sorted out his thoughts, and was about to go back, when a slender hand shadow was lying beside him, and a white paper was hanging from a broad palm swaying gently, and he looked up to see the person's face clearly, it was Guo Yixuan.

His tissues were handed there, and Zou Baoer took the tissue, turned around, and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Why are you here alone...... What happened? Behind him, Yi Xuan's voice was full of concern.

Zou Bao'er turned around and began to be a little embarrassed, "Why are you here?" ”

Seeing that she didn't want to explain, Yixuan pointed to the other side, "I thought of having a drink or two in the tavern in front of me, but I didn't expect to see you here, it's not early, I'll send you back first." ”

In normal times, Zou Baoer must refuse his kindness and go home alone. But when people are vulnerable, they need a care to ease the sadness in their hearts.

Guo Yixuan asked her to wait for him at the door of the tavern, his car was parked on the side of the street in front, he went to drive over, Zou Bao'er glanced at the sign of the tavern, "Today's tavern." ”

Does it mean that there is wine today and drunk?

"Wait." Zou Bao'er stopped him: "Didn't you come out to drink?" If you don't mind, would you like to have a drink or two with me? ”

"You ......"

"I don't want to go back now, if you don't want to, then I won't force it, you can do it."

Zou Bao'er walked into the tavern, and Guo Yixuan followed her in.

The two went to the table, ordered a side dish, and ordered two wines. As soon as the wine was served, Zou Baoer didn't say a word, picked up the bottle and drank it.

"Slow down."

Zou Bao'er grunted a few sips, choked, put down the wine bottle, Guo Yixuan looked at her intently, his eyes were full of worry, and asked him, "I rejected your marriage that day, have you always held a grudge?" ”

"Nope."

Zou Bao'er was a little unconvinced, took another sip, and laughed at herself: "I refused your marriage, and in the end, I myself fell out of love, just like Chu Xian, the person I like likes likes my good sister." ”

"Are you alright?"

Zou Bao'er's eyes were astringent, and she took another sip. found that Guo Yixuan's wine bottle hadn't been opened yet, "Why don't you drink it?" ”

Guo Yixuan opened the wine bottle, took a big sip, put down the wine bottle, and said to her: "Bao'er, you can turn around at any time, you will find that I am always there." ”

Zou Bao'er only felt that this sentence was very heavy, looked down at the desktop, and said, "I'm sorry." ”

"You don't like me, isn't the biggest reason because of Chu Xian?"

Zou Baoer plucked up the courage to look at him and said bluntly: "Not only that, you are a person who people can't guess, but you don't let people guess, a person who is even difficult to understand, how can you like it?" ”

Guo Yixuan took another big sip and said leisurely, "Do you know? Since I was seven years old, I have lost the joy of my childhood, and since then, I have been told that I am the heir to the Kuang family, that I want to be the best industrialist like my father, and that what I learn and do every day will be a foreshadowing for the future.

When I was counting and memorizing, my father was on the side, coaxing Chu Xian with all kinds of fun and interesting things, laughing with her, and making trouble with her, for fear that she would be a little unhappy, but in such a situation, he didn't allow me to be distracted. ”

When Zou Bao'er heard this, she couldn't help but interject, "Because of this, you are so jealous of Chu Xian that you are indifferent to her all the year round?" ”

"Do you really think I don't care about Chu Xian?"
