Chapter 168: Three Years of Transformation
When Iman saw the coin that had fallen to the ground and was fighting stubbornly, he immediately rushed forward like crazy. She's fallen to the point where she doesn't even let go of a penny.
The coin meandered all the way, and she chased it all the way, until she finally stopped under the street lamp not far away. Iman bent down and picked it up. When I looked up, I just happened to look at the interesting eyes of the upper city.
Oh, it's really ghostly. Is it that she is always so ridiculous in front of him?
Iman didn't care about his image in the eyes of others, and he didn't care about what others thought. But the person in front of him is Cheng Xian. It's the city that dislikes her for everything. How could she let him look down on him.
However, what if you don't want to be looked down upon, this @β‘ no @ β‘ wrong @ β‘ small @ β‘ said, .quβ€ledβu.
Iman smiled bitterly in resignation.
Chengxian looked at Iman's expression, with an indescribable lightness in it. This kind of brain-dead is her Iman, what bullshit Yu Qing, what work clothes, what self-righteous forgetting, it's all his mother's bullshit. Only the Iman in front of him is the most real.
He smiled wickedly, "Manman, are you so poor? β
The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, Iman has reached the point of being unbearable, and when Cheng Xian says this, the whole person feels bad.
Her face flushed slightly, and she held the somewhat cool coin tightly in her hand, but her eyes were still as cold as ever, "I'm just so poor, so your Mr. Cheng is here to make fun of me, right?" So, you're really idle. β
Cheng Xian was even happier in his heart, as long as Iman was willing to talk to him, it didn't matter what he said. What's more, beating is kissing and scolding is love, and Iman is so cynical that he at least cares.
"No, Manman, you misunderstood, I'm as poor as you, so I definitely didn't mean to make fun of you."
Cheng Xian said it very seriously, not like a joke at all. Also, it is Yan Guangchen who is now in charge of Jincheng Pictures, and he has disappeared for three years, so he is naturally no longer the beautiful Mr. Cheng he used to be. However, what does it have to do with Iman whether he is poor or not?
It's better to die poor, she's happy.
Iman found that she couldn't see that Cheng Xian was better than her, so she didn't want to hear Cheng Xian say this. When she was with Cheng Xian, she always had a feeling that her heart was being seen through. In front of Cheng Xian, she was like a blank sheet of paper, and she was afraid of this feeling, of being firmly grasped.
Turning around to leave, but Cheng Xian grabbed his arm tightly, Iman glanced at Cheng Xian impatiently, she couldn't understand what the look in Cheng Xian's eyes was, whether it was reluctance or pity. But with this casual glance, Iman seemed to be unable to move his feet.
"You don't want to talk to me after seeing you for so long? Or are you really so heartless that you forgot about me? β
His breath hit Iman's neck, itching, and Iman's mind drifted somewhere.
In this way, Iman was dragged to the small room again by Cheng Xian. But Cheng Xian did not catch up with Iman as he said. Didn't get angry with Iman again. Instead, Iman sat quietly in his chair. But he put on an apron and cooked himself.
The dishes are very simple, they are all home-cooked dishes, what sour and hot cabbage, what chicken stewed mushrooms. It's different from when they're together. At that time, the taste of Chengxian was unique, and no matter what you ate, it was a superb delicacy. And now he cooks the simplest dishes himself. This made Iman suddenly have a delusion, the illusion of living a life.
In order to make himself better, Iman once tried to cook for Cheng Xian himself. But each time he frowned. Even if you barely eat it, it's just to save face for Iman. And now, the untouchable man is quietly doing the most disdainful thing he once did.
The way he bowed his head was still so charming, and if it weren't for those things in the past, Iman would have been bewitched by his focused appearance and handsome appearance.
Three years have passed, and Iman is no longer as beautiful as it once was, but Chengxian is still so charming. Now, he should be thirty-one. This is really a not very optimistic age.
Iman was still in a daze, Cheng Xian had already walked over, he skillfully cleaned up the table, and then went to serve the food again. Iman sat still, she didn't know what she should do at the moment, so she simply didn't do anything.
After everything was arranged, Cheng Xian handed the chopsticks to Iman and asked gently, "Are you hungry?" Eat quickly. β
His tone was soft and simple, as if nothing had happened between him and Iman. Iman fiddled with the rice in front of him, but couldn't eat it anyway. She felt that her heart was blocked, and she couldn't tell what this blockage was.
Cheng Xian kept putting vegetables in Iman's bowl, and kept saying, "This is delicious" and "This is also delicious", the scene in front of him is so familiar, the person is still the same person from before, Iman found himself a little sad. She really wants to shave herself again, what kind of hypocrisy, it's good to have something to eat, okay.
After eating a few chopsticks, Iman finally couldn't help it and asked, "Why are you suddenly so good to me?" β
Cheng Xian had long known that Iman would ask this question, so he continued to put vegetables in Iman's bowl and said quietly: "Because you are Iman." Is it because I covet your beauty? β
Besides, you don't have a good look.
He glanced at Iman's expression, "I remember you once asked me why I wanted to marry you, and you said that you were stupid, you couldn't speak, and you often made me unhappy, let alone help me, but I chose you." My answer was β because you're Iman. Manman, I don't want to think about anything now, I just want to live a good life with you and make up for all the things I missed. Manman, do you understand me? β
For some reason, as soon as she heard Cheng Xian talk about the past, her heart was filled with anger. After so many years, she is still obsessed with Cheng Xian's affection and calculation. So as soon as she heard these words, which should have been touching, she felt extremely cold.
Iman slammed his chopsticks on the table, his eyes showing disdain.
"I don't understand. Cheng Xian, since you remember every word of the past so clearly, then why do you still hide so many things from me. Didn't you promise me the same that you would never hide it from me in this life? In fact, you simply take those promises as a joke. Even our marriage, you have never taken it to heart. β
As soon as Cheng Xian heard Iman's words that he minded, he immediately explained in a hurry: "That's not the case, Manman, I was wrong with those things in the past, and I'm working hard to change them now." You see, when you don't want to see me, I never bother with your life. Manman, I've tried to make myself better, don't always look at me with the same eyes, okay? β
Chengxian is indeed doing better than before to a large extent, but now Iman has not come out of the knot in his heart, how can he listen to it, and how can he understand.
These words fell on her ears, only sarcasm, and she did not hesitate to sneer: "Since you are so good now, then you will give me freedom and sign a divorce agreement." It also allows me to truly go back to Iman and no longer live this kind of turbulent life. β
Divorce is Cheng Xian's death hole, and the original hurt and guilt are so deep that Cheng Xian has never been shaken. And even more so now. He can slowly warm Iman's cold heart, but he can't let Iman go, let alone sign a divorce agreement as Iman said.
He was also a little angry, but he couldn't be angry, he had to face Iman's provocation calmly.
"Manman, are you a fool to me, after signing the divorce agreement, you will never be able to stay with me anymore."
Knowing that this is the answer, Iman still doesn't give up, and he has to ask Chengxian again. What is she doing now, is it a desire to receive the mercy of the city to gain true freedom?
She smiled a little wryly, "Then what kind of good person are you pretending to be here." Can't give me freedom, whatever is good for me is like a fart. β
In the face of such an unprovoked provocation by Iman, Cheng Xian was also quite helpless, he spread his hands, "Manman, don't always be so unreasonable. β
Iman raised his eyebrows, "I'm just so unreasonable, what do you care about me!" β
Cheng Xian's head began to become chaotic, and he tried to keep the last trace of calm, "Manman, because you are Manman." You are my wife, my legal wife, why should I ignore you. β
Iman was originally angry, but he was even more angry when he was hit by Cheng Xian's unprovoked words. But the current anger is different from the previous one. She was originally like a cannon barrel, sneering at Cheng Xian when she was angry, but at this moment she began to be speechless. She scratched her scalp in annoyance, looked at Cheng Xian's puzzled eyes again, and wanted to say something, but found that there was nothing to say.
She stood up and left in a panic.
Although Cheng Xian chased him out, he didn't stop talking to Iman, but quietly stayed behind Iman, followed him all the way, and watched Iman enter the dormitory building before stopping.
It was bright outside, and Cheng Xian stood under the street lamp, his long figure stretched longer. But he didn't want to go back immediately, he wanted to see Iman for a while.
The lights in Iman's room were always on, and when Cheng Hyun realized that Iman had returned to his room, it was because Iman had closed the heavy curtains. This pull, not because Iman didn't want to see him, but because Iman's heart couldn't pass this level, and her subconscious had noticed the existence of Cheng Xian again.
And what Cheng Xian has to do is to stay by her side for a long time and slowly accompany her to let go.
