Chapter 263: Decision
The long silence spread in the huge ward, I don't know how long it took, Su Jiarui heard a very light sigh, and in the end, it was Wu Ming who took the lead in choosing to compromise.
Now that I think about it, it seems that this is the case every time, and the first person to compromise in the emotional game is often the first person to be moved in the relationship.
With a "snap", the incandescent light overhead lit up slightly.
Su Jiarui's panic had nowhere to hide, she almost subconsciously straightened her back, but her eyes didn't dare to look in the direction of Wu Ming.
"Let's eat the porridge while it's hot, your stomach is already bad."
Wu Ming, a proud son of the sky, was like a cautious child at this time, because he didn't want to make the atmosphere more stalemate, so he took the initiative to choose a compromise, but he was the one who needed a clear explanation the most.
Thinking of this, Su Jiarui's nose was sour, he bit his lower lip lightly, and couldn't say a word.
People may be like this, they will always involuntarily criticize and hurt people who really care about themselves, care about themselves, and are good to themselves.
Before, when no one was willing to treat her well, she longed every day to meet someone who treated her sincerely, and if she could meet that person, she would definitely spare no effort to show all her kindness, but now that she looks back, she never did.
It can even be said that it is often those who really care about her, but they are often hurt more deeply because of her.
Shen Yi used to be her best friend, but now because she saved herself, she was killed and turned into a vegetative person, and now, in order to protect her, Wu Ming can even be said to be sacrificing herself to fight against the Chen family and many vassal families of the Chen family, and now, in front of him, he is like a complete traitor, waving a sharp blade, taking advantage of his defenselessness, stabbing at his soft henchman.
But when the former best friend and the current warmth are put on the same scale, she has to be forced to make a choice.
The fine white porridge was tinged with a faint mist, steaming between the two.
Wu Ming gently rolled up his cuffs, stirred the white porridge with a spoon skillfully and meticulously, dissipated the heat in it, lowered his eyes, and his black feather-like eyelashes covered the look under his eyes, so that Su Jiarui couldn't see what he was thinking at this time for a while.
His hands are knuckled and his fingers are long and powerful, and he should have sat in the Vienna Musikverein, playing a beautiful piece of art, or he could have sat in a top-floor office with his back against thousands of high-rise buildings, and the sharp blade of approving documents.
However, now, these hands are so natural and bland, doing things that are completely inconsistent with those imaginations, but it is obviously just stirring a bowl of simple white porridge, but it also makes him create a sense of nobility while dining in a high-end restaurant.
"Alright, it should be ready to drink now."
Wu Ming scooped up a spoonful and stretched it out to Su Jiarui, while using his other hand to continue, his movements and postures were extremely gentle, but now such an elegant gentleness was like a sharp thorn, which made Su Jiarui sit still.
Looking at Wu Ming's eyes, her lips moved, and she couldn't say anything from her mouth if she refused, so she had to lean forward slightly and drink this mouthful of porridge with trepidation.
The fine white porridge spreads between the lips and teeth, the taste is light, but it gives birth to a warmth in the stomach.
Because of the action of feeding the porridge, the two of them are now very close to each other, but they just stay in a state that is not particularly embarrassing.
The ambiguous atmosphere is just right to surround the two, and silence in such a situation has become a protective color for the emotional changes between the two.
While drinking porridge obediently, Su Jiarui was still thinking about the phone call just now and Wu Ming's attitude, so she almost forgot that she could complete it herself without pretending to be Wu Ming's hand when she drank porridge.
A bowl of porridge was quickly half served, Su Jiarui's appetite was not very good, and Wu Ming naturally would not be too demanding, so this was the only excuse that could make the atmosphere not too embarrassing, and now there is obviously no way to apply it anymore.
"Is your stomach feeling better now? Or is there anything else you'd like to eat? ”
Just like the scene just now, it was just Su Jiarui's imagination from the beginning, Wu Ming was still so gentle and considerate, just like he had promised her, he would not force her too much, and would give her a certain amount of space and freedom.
Su Jiarui bit his lower lip, nodded, and shook his head again.
Seeing that the topic came to an abrupt end again, just when Wu Ming was thinking about what to say, he suddenly felt that his sleeves were gently pulled.
He looked over in astonishment, only to find that it was Su Jiarui's white fingertips, like a shy probe looking at a young bird in the outside world, gently pulling his sleeve.
His heart moved, and Wu Ming looked up at Su Jiarui's face.
"Is there anything else that is uncomfortable? Do you need me to call a doctor for you? "Home
Su Jiarui shook his head, adjusted his breathing slightly, and finally mustered up the courage to look at Wu Ming.
From the beginning, she has been thinking about what kind of way she can use to make Wu Ming feel her determination and let him know that the efforts he made before were not in vain.
And just now, she suddenly discovered that in fact, there was already a broad road in front of her.
"Wu Ming, I've already thought about it, after all, this matter started because of me, I am very grateful for your efforts and help to me before, but in the end, this matter still needs to be solved by myself, and I don't want to blindly avoid it anymore."
Wu Ming's eyes darkened, although he didn't say anything, Su Jiarui still knew that he was still a little disappointed and sad about her answer.
But she thought that if she really wanted to regard Wu Ming as her important person, she must at least show her thoughts and determination to him, which was also a sign of respect for Wu Ming.
Thinking of this, she adjusted her breathing slightly, her gaze moved down, and she didn't dare to look at Wu Ming's eyes at this time.
"But, believe me, when this is over, I am willing to go abroad with you, because I want you to know that there is nothing left for me to be nostalgic about."
Su Jiarui said word by word extremely seriously, and she hoped that through her words, she could comfort Wu Ming.
She didn't want to let herself be bothered by the threat to Wu Ming again, but she also told Wu Ming from the side that he was already planning to let go of Yuncheng and even Chen Cheng.
In an instant, Su Jiarui saw a glimmer of light from Wu Ming's eyes and realized this, but Su Jiarui felt a burst of bitterness in his heart for no reason.
She just made a better decision for herself, but it looked like a charity to Wu Ming.
How could he have been so humbled under any circumstances?
Although Wu Ming usually has a gentle attitude, it does not mean that he is a person who will be manipulated by others casually.
Su Jiarui still remembers the way she looked when she dragged her weak body and met Wu Ming for the first time in the hospital when she grew up, at that time she was suspected by Wu Ming of being a person who approached Guoguo with a bad purpose, so she even showed a bit of obvious hostility towards her.
He is obviously also a person whose edge is not inferior to Chen Cheng.
But at that moment, she actually saw the rare emotional fluctuations in Wu Ming's eyes, as if someone had lit a torch in the dark, but she was still surprised that Wu Ming would be happy because of such a small thing.
"Jiarui, what you just said, are you serious?"
Wu Ming opened his mouth, his voice was rarely a little trembling, he held Su Jiarui's fingertips with his backhand, and with expectant eyes, he cautiously wanted to confirm with her again.
Such Wu Ming has a lovely stubbornness and innocence, which makes her see a little fruit in him.
It's no wonder that others say that people who spend a lot of time together will have some similarities in their style.
Thinking of this, Su Jiarui rarely showed a heartfelt smile and nodded.
If she could, she hoped that in the future, Wu Ming would be able to tear off the layer of disguise she had in front of her, and she could become like she is now, and easily show her feelings.
"I thought, I thought you would refuse my proposal because of this, I still can't believe it."
Su Jiarui's heart moved, holding Wu Ming's action of holding her hand, and holding his hand with his backhand.
Such a small action caused the consternation in Wu Ming's eyes to deepen a little.
"Wu Ming, I know that you have always been so strict with yourself, always hiding your feelings in your heart, not afraid of causing a burden to others, but I hope that when you are in front of me, you can show yourself more truly."
thought of the first meeting between the two who couldn't even remember her clearly, hooked her lips slightly, and smiled.
"After all, when we first met, you cried in front of me, didn't you? I've seen you and me like that, so there's no need to hide it now, is there? ”
Because of Su Jiarui's words, Wu Ming probably remembered what happened at that time, and his face was rarely a little embarrassed, but it looked more vivid.
After all, no one would want their beloved to remember the appearance of crying embarrassed because of his petty nature, if he could go back to the past, no matter what, he would persuade himself at that time to try to control it and not cry in front of Su Jiarui at that time.
