Chapter 57: Swallowed by loneliness, the shadow

Poof, Xiao Zhengyun sat on the roof of the apartment on the top floor and lit the Su cigarette in his hand, he took a deep breath, and soon spit out a wisp of white smoke, and then began to look at Sydney after 12 o'clock in the morning in silence, Cong Rong stood next to him and looked at him quietly.

When she was halfway through her cigarette, Cong Rong suddenly asked for one.

"You smoke too?" Xiao Zhengyun asked Cong Rong with a smile, took out one and handed it to her, and planned to help her light it.

"I basically don't, but, I've been watching you smoke lately, I don't know what's going on, and I want to have one tonight." After Cong Rong finished speaking, she put the cigarette in her mouth. Xiao Zhengyun quickly came up, lit the lighter with one hand, and covered it with the other. After the cigarette was lit, the inexperienced Cong Rong was choked and coughed directly after taking a puff of inhalation.

She reflexively returned the cigarette she had only taken a puff to Xiao Zhengyun.

"Just took a puff and stopped smoking?" Xiao Zhengyun took the cigarette from Cong Rong's hand and said with a smile.

"I still can't do it, just this mouthful, I almost didn't choke to death just now. I'll give it back to you. After she finally calmed down, Cong Rong said with some embarrassment.

Xiao Zhengyun took the cigarette in Cong Rong's hand, and after taking two puffs, she was actually asked back by Cong Rong again, she said, "Let's just share this cigarette, I don't know why, every time I see you smoking, I can't help but want to try it." How do you say that, my brother doesn't smoke cigarettes, my brother smokes loneliness. This sentence is you.

Anyway, every time I see you smoking, I feel like a shadow about to be swallowed up by loneliness, surrounded by bursts of white smoke, gradually losing consciousness and soul, as if you are about to disappear with the last trace of white mist. Cong Rong took the cigarette from Xiao Zhengyun's hand again, but she didn't rush to try again, but suddenly said something brainless to Xiao Zhengyun.

After she finished speaking, she immediately quieted down, and began to carefully look at Xiao Zhengyun and everything around him. At night, he was standing on the roof of his house, with the sleeping Greater Sydney behind him, and his eyes were facing the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of his rooftop.

If you look through the window, you can see the large desk in the middle of the living room. The table is long and wide, and the light gray color with the minimalist Scandinavian design style inadvertently reveals the preferences and thoughts of the owner of this room. In addition to some office necessities, there is also a sphinx-style ashtray on the desk, which has a unique design and looks very exquisite.

And not far from the desk, there is also a black upright piano, which, like its owner, although living in a large luxury apartment, brings people an indescribable sense of loneliness.

In addition to the desk and piano of Nuoda, there is nothing else in the spacious living room, and even the open kitchen that can be seen in the distance is lonely and hidden in the corner, somewhat lacking some of the breath of life.

Cong Rong lowered her head and turned her attention from the living room to the burned cigarette in her hand, only to find that it was too late, she raised her head to look at Xiao Zhengyun, didn't say anything, just handed the remaining cigarette butt back to Xiao Zhengyun's hand naturally.

Xiao Zhengyun on the side listened to Cong Rong's comments just now, and only felt that a soft and secret place in his heart was suddenly lightly touched by something. A few days ago, when he hadn't confessed to Cong Rong, he still had some worries and uncertainties in his heart, but what surprised and delighted him was that when he came back from Melbourne and saw Cong Rong at the Palmer &Co bar, a somewhat flustered heart suddenly settled down completely.

It's a strange feeling that no woman has ever experienced before, including his ex-girlfriend Lea Huang. Xiao Zhengyun suddenly felt that what he had been looking for for for so many years was this stability, and the only woman who could give him this sense of stability was now close at hand, and he felt that he didn't want to miss Cong Rong for even a second longer. At the same time, he even came up with a crazy idea to propose to this woman as soon as possible.

He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them stiffly. "Some things still need to be considered in the long run, after all, this kind of one-sided emotion is so strong, not everyone can understand and accept it immediately. Cong Rong has just accepted her confession, is willing to believe in herself, give herself a chance, and be her girlfriend, it is already a big step, and she has to give her a time to think calmly. After all, sometimes, it is easy to backfire if you are too affectionate" Xiao Zhengyun looked at the woman next to him quietly, but he didn't know how to fully express his inner emotions to her.

However, for a long time to come, Xiao Zhengyun regretted that he didn't tell Cong Rong his truest feelings in his heart at the first time when he thought of this night.
