CHAPTER XLV

By the time Song Pingsheng drove back to the apartment, He Yi had already fallen asleep groggy, and even in her dream, she frowned, looking defensive.

Song Pingsheng looked at the girl's appearance and suddenly thought of the first time they met. As soon as he came back from playing basketball that day, he saw his mother talking to a strange mother and daughter in the living room.

She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

From the first time they met, he already knew that this girl must have gone through unimaginable ordeals. He has had enough food and clothing for 18 years, and he has lived a life where others try their best to satisfy him, and he has never been worried about money, nor has he ever been worried about his livelihood, and the people around him are also excellent and illustrious people, so he can't empathize.

No one can really empathize, what he can do is that he can only be like a bystander, looking at her for a while, occasionally comforting softly, and even making up his mind to take good care of her for the rest of his life. Maybe he will inadvertently share a little for her, or maybe he will give her something that ordinary people should have within his ability.

I remember that when Liu Ruming introduced him at the dinner table, she raised her eyes slightly, looked at herself, and lowered her head sharply as if she was afraid of being discovered.

This scene will always be in his mind.

Low self-esteem and timidity are her first impression of Song Pingsheng.

When she was bullied at school and full of grievances, she would sleep in the car with her eyes closed, her brows furrowed all the time, and she was reluctant to relax even in her dreams.

She is always too sensible, even if she suffers all the unequal treatment at school, including the malice between classmates and the misunderstanding of teachers, she buries these deep in her heart and never tells anyone, probably because she knows very well that the person who can make her fearless has left.

It's like a firm backing, so that you are invincible on the battlefield, but you are lost halfway, so that you don't dare to act recklessly on the battlefield.

Being sensible too early is not necessarily good.

When he first started going to school with her, he sat in the car and kept to himself, which made him pay more attention to her. She always likes to watch the scenery back and forth in the car, even if it is the same route day after day, year after year, she is as if she has seen something new, and she is very curious.

This quiet, he didn't want to break.

She never mentioned the relationship between her Song family in front of others, and it seemed that for her, the Song family was not a talisman of power, but just a haven in the wind and rain.

Her situation in the Song family was not difficult, but she still chose to repay by working, and for a while she was rushing to wash the dishes and mopping the floor. She was not proud of relying on a mountain and being pampered.

Such a girl who has no quarrel with the world really wants to love her for the rest of her life.

But in the past ten years, he has only been good to her because of his brother's feelings for his sister, he didn't even think about it, but he didn't expect that in the process of getting along with each other on weekdays, he would make a girl so obsessed, and he never realized it or thought about it in the past ten years.

Even in the dead of night, he always thinks about what kind of man he will be who can be worthy of Xiao Yu. He doesn't have to be wealthy, nor does he have to be handsome and chic, as long as he treats her well on weekdays and pours all his love into her without reservation, he is better than he is to her. He is like a worried old father, hoping that she can be carefree all her life, not bothered by the world, and not drawn by the so-called emotional wounds, just plain and bland.

But I didn't expect that this person would be myself.

After experiencing a period of emotional training, his heart has long been empty, and he is already inviolable, but in the face of the person he once loved like him, he can't wait to hand her the whole world, and when facing her feelings for himself, he will hesitate for three points.

Until he finally made a life choice, he didn't know if the path was right, but it was worth it to be able to give her warmth on the way.

Love her? His love seems to have been exhausted in those years, and now there is only a little tenderness left in him, and he only hopes that the only remaining tenderness can make her spend the rest of her life happily every day.

He once read a passage on the Internet: Only those who know the pain in the world can be truly gentle to others.

He was gentle with her, just he didn't want her to repeat the pain he had done.

He can't give love, but he can let her have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and spend her whole life safely in his harbor, all he can do is to give her happiness and joy with gentleness and companionship.

The rest of his life is long, and he believes that he will one day truly fall in love with her.

Just how long does the day take?

He didn't know either.

Maybe it's tomorrow, maybe it's a month later, maybe it's a year, maybe it's ten years, maybe it's twenty years, it's thirty years, it's forty years, it's fifty years. Maybe inadvertently, you will quietly fall in love.

He doesn't need to wait for this day, because at this moment, the other party already has each other, and has planned the future, and he always believes that the only thing that can spend his life in the future is each other.

He didn't accompany her for a long time, just in the busy senior year of high school, and then intermittently, he went to college, and he had less contact with her, and unconsciously, she grew into a big girl.

She said that she had liked him for ten years, and he didn't even dare to imagine how she persevered day and night in this fruitless and unguaranteed relationship, and what was even more terrifying was that in the days when she took Beryl home, she still insisted without complaint in the face of the moment when she already had happiness.

He really didn't dare to imagine that in the face of his kindness to others and his spoiling of others, she actually chose to carry all this secretly, and be a passerby who didn't dare to disturb his happiness. At the moment when he thought he was already the happiest man in the world, she became the most frustrated person in the world, and she had lost her own world when she thought she had gained the whole world.

At the age of eighteen, in the face of a down-and-out person, most people will choose to help her and treat her unreservedly. Why? He couldn't say it himself. It may be that he thought that he had a smooth journey, but met a person who was completely different from his life on the way, and felt pity.

She is willing to give away ten years of his youth, so what reason does he have to turn a blind eye to her? He wasn't entirely guilty, he just thought deeply about the rest of his life, and maybe there was no one more suitable than her.

He remembered that Ji Hengzhi once said to him: "What you take for granted is a regret that others can't get in half their lives." ”

Everything he has is something that some people can't even think about in their dreams.

His little gardenia had lost everything, and she was covered in bruises, and he couldn't leave easily, otherwise she might really lose the whole world.

Thinking of the once immature girl, and then looking at her who is now a little mature, I actually miss her a little. Song Pingsheng sighed softly, unbuckled her seat belt for her, and then gently picked her out of the car, but this small act alarmed the sleeping person in her arms, and she opened her eyes in horror.

Song Pingsheng saw that he looked frightened, and hurriedly comforted him: "Don't be afraid, it's me, I'll take you home." ”

At the sight of the familiar face, she nodded wearily, and then fell back into a deep sleep.

After too many ups and downs along the way, she just wants to find a post station to rest well. Thinking of this moment of silence, she suddenly felt in her heart that all the pain was worth it.

Song Pingsheng carried her into the bedroom and covered her with a quilt. When she was on the road halfway, she seemed to be a little awkward, wanting to walk alone, trying to break free from his arms, but she was still hugged tightly by him and refused to let go.

"Rest well, this is our secret base, and no one can find us."

Our ...... Secret base.

He Yi nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Song Pingsheng was by the bedside with her, holding her left hand tightly with both hands, he didn't do anything at this moment, just quietly looked at her sleeping face, listening to her shallow breathing, probably the years were quieter than this.

She seemed to be tired of crying, and seemed to be tired from the two weeks of running around in the United States, this sleep seemed to have slept for a long time, so long that she could now smell the fragrance of the kitchen, she pulled her slippers into the kitchen, looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, instantly relieved, she walked lightly close to the figure, tightly encircled his waist.

It's still a familiar taste, a taste that I think about day and night, it's so good.

The man's body seemed to stiffen, but it was only for a moment, and he immediately returned to normal, continued to fry the vegetables, and after a few minutes of fried dishes, he quickly turned around and took the initiative to hug her.

"Awake?" His chin rested on her forehead, "After sleeping for so long, dizzy?" ”

He Yi shook his head slightly, continued to close his eyes, and lay in his arms, "It's good to be able to live like this." ”

This is the life she dreams of, in this life, there is her favorite Song Pingsheng, with firewood, rice, oil and salt on weekdays, and most importantly, she began to have a strong sense of security.

She tried to think about the heroine who could make Song Pingsheng cook countless times, and even treated her well without reservation, and chose to accommodate her all her life, spoiling without royal law. That heroine may not need to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor do she need any exquisite cooking skills, as long as she is good enough to be worthy of Song Pingsheng's liking. But she didn't expect that one day, she would actually become the heroine she imagined, and the male protagonist would also be Song Pingsheng, whom she had liked for ten years.

Fate and fate are really difficult to express clearly in words.

But she wants to be grateful, grateful for being able to have such a fate and fate with Song Pingsheng, and thank them for meeting and accompanying each other because of fate.

Once she didn't believe in fate, and now, how she wished they were.
