Chapter 116: I don't have the face to go back
Gu Zhichen sighed, "I don't know either." β
Gu Zhichen couldn't figure it out, Xia Ying couldn't figure it out, if he was angry that Gu Zhichen quietly married the woman he liked, then why did he hate her in anger?
She didn't mess with him, this Gu Ze is too childish.
The dim street lamp stretched the figures of the two,
A slender and exquisite,
A tall and slender one.
Early the next morning, Gu Zhichen went to the company, Xia Ying slept until three poles in the morning, the weather was bad, and it rained.
Thinking of Gu Ze who chatted about yesterday, Xia Ying always felt that it was a heart disease,
So, she tried to contact him using WeChat,
"Gu Ze, are you there? I'm Natsu Sakura. β
After a message was sent, she waited for a whole day and did not receive a reply from him.
So, she sent him another message.
"Gu Ze, Mom...... Your aunt passed away the other day, and your cousin called you, but you changed your number. β
If Gu Ze deliberately didn't reply to her message, Xia Ying felt that he would definitely reply to this message.
really
Xia Ying's phone vibrate,
It was really an unfamiliar number, but she knew that this number must be Gu Ze's.
Therefore, she picked up the phone and called him "Gu Ze" as a matter of course. β
"It's me."
"Where the hell have you been? Your aunt died, you know? β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before I heard him speak again, "When is it?" β
"Three days ago."
"Oh."
Oh? Xia Ying felt that Gu Ze was a little calm, "Gu Ze, are you still going outside?" You're not going to come back and check it out? Your aunt is so good to you, you ......"
"Xia Ying, I don't have the face to go back."
"How can you come back without a face? Are you still angry about your cousin marrying me? β
"No, it's long gone, yes, yes......"
Gu Ze was a little stumbling, and he wanted to speak again, Xia Ying didn't know why he was so difficult, "Why is that?" β
"Xia Ying, am I naΓ―ve?"
ββ¦β¦οΌβ
"Xia Ying, I'm too naΓ―ve, when I came out of the house, I was angry, angry that my cousin robbed the girl I liked, angry that my cousin married you quietly, I thought, I don't want to go back for the rest of my life, when I left, I said very cruel things to my cousin, I said, I don't have a cousin like him, I don't want that home, as long as I don't die, I won't go back, I ......"
"Your cousin didn't take it seriously, of course he knew you were talking angry."
"But I think I'm ashamed, I'm stingy, my aunt and cousin worked hard to raise me, and ...... I know you guys before...... My cousin liked you before I did, and he had been courting you, and I felt that I ...... I'm sorry for my cousin, I shouldn't have said those sad things to him, I, I'm ......"
It turned out that this was the case, Xia Ying let out a long sigh of relief, "Gu Ze, your cousin won't be angry with you, come back quickly, we all welcome you home." β
"I ...... May I? β
"Of course, and you still owe your aunt a head that didn't kowtow, she is gone, the most concerned must be you, you have to make her feel at ease."
There was silence on the other end of the phone again, Xia Ying knew that Gu Ze was thinking very seriously,
After a long time, he said, "Okay, I'll book the nearest flight back." β
"Okay, we'll wait for you at home."
In the evening, when Gu Zhichen came back, Xia Ying couldn't wait to tell him about this happy thing.
To her surprise, Gu Zhichen just replied lightly, "I know." β
"Aren't you happy? Gu Ze has been gone for a long time. β
"If he can come back, even if he has a conscience, what do I have to be happy about." Gu Zhichen said lightly.
"He's still a kid, don't be angry with him." Xia Ying persuaded with kind words.
"The guilt and self-blame are his own, what am I angry about."
"Then when he comes back, don't scold him, he said, he knows it's wrong, blame himself for being stingy, in fact, I feel that he has always wanted to come back, but he just can't wipe his face."
"Face?" The man sneered, "Face is the most worthless thing." β
"He's still young, don't people say it, a man is a teenager until he dies, and he is a special species that can't grow up in his life."
Gu Zhichen glanced at the woman, "That's an individual man, a man with responsibility and responsibility, how can he protect the person he loves if he doesn't grow up." β
"Okay, you're reasonable, I can't talk about you." Xia Ying pouted, really.
He reached out and took her into his arms, rubbing her little face, "Okay, whatever you say, it's what you say." β
She was happy and raised her little face, "Really? β
"Of course it's true." He lowered his head and kissed her lips "When did I say a lie...... "Well, no, there was only one time, although that time was his passive breach of the contract, but it was equivalent to lying to her, which is also a fake.
Seeing the man's half-spoken words and deep face, she understood, "You mean to say, only once, you didn't come to pick me up that time, did you?" β
"Xia Ying, this matter is always that I am sorry for you."
"Nope. Zhichen, Dr. Nan told me what happened that day, why didn't you tell me, it was because your father died suddenly that day, so you didn't pick me up, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have been sad all the time, and I wouldn't have blamed you all the time. β
The man shook his head, "No matter what the reason, I should keep the contract, if I keep the contract, you won't go to the Lin family to live that kind of dark life, suffer so much, all because I didn't pick you up, I ......"
Her slender fingers blocked what he was about to say, "No, if it was for some other reason, I would definitely blame you for not being able to pick me up, but at that time, you and Mom couldn't protect yourself...... Zhichen, this fate, me or you, this is such a fate, none of us blame ourselves, no one blames anyone, this matter, can you turn the page? β
"Really?"
Xia Ying nodded heavily, "In the future, let's not face these things that happened back then with such a heavy attitude, okay?" β
He kissed her hair, "Okay." β
She hugged his waist tightly, her head rested against his heart, his chest was very warm, she wanted to hold him like this for the rest of her life, until she was old.
Early the next morning, after Gu Zhichen went to work, the maid knocked on the door of her bedroom.
"Young grandma."
"What's the matter?"
"There's an email from you."
"Come in."
The servant took the courier package and handed it to Xia Ying, Xia Ying looked at the address, Qin Cheng's, it must be the diary of Xia Qishan sent by Qin Yong.
She found a pair of scissors, opened the package, a yellowed diary, not very thick, with a rusty little lock,
This little lock is not particularly strong,
Xia Ying found a small pair of pliers and opened them easily.
