Chapter 25: Take Me to See the Fireflies
No one knows that little her, the helplessness and pain of being forcibly dragged away in the wind and rain,
No one knows about her torment and torture for more than ten years.
Thinking of this,
Xia Ying's heart was like a dense seaweed, suffocating her
Tears are always accompanied by sad memories, uncontrollably sliding down their cheeks,
She hurriedly poured herself another glass of red wine, brought it to her lips, and swallowed it.
The doorbell rang, Xia Ying wiped her tears, got down from the bay window, and went to open the door,
The man standing outside the door was very tall, and the expression on his face was as cold and noble as ever, she didn't know how he found here,
Now she doesn't want to see him at all.
Xia Ying reached out to close the door,
The man stretched out his arm to block, "Still hate me so much?" ”
The woman raised her eyes, and her eyes were scarlet, "What are you doing here?" ”
The man pushed open the door and walked in, he looked around at the small house, it was quite warm, his eyes fell on the red wine glass on the table, "Drinking?" ”
Xia Ying walked to the living room, bent down and sat down, "Does it have anything to do with you?" ”
"Girls, don't drink all the time, it's not good for your health."
Xia Ying looked at the man who was sitting opposite her, and didn't know what to mean, "Mr. Gu, find my house this big night, is there anything wrong?" ”
"I'm working overtime, I want to invite you to a meal."
The man talks casually, as if he is chattering.
"Mr. Gu is really miserable, he can't find anyone to eat with, and he still has to ask me as a stranger." Xia Ying's words were full of ridicule and ridicule.
"yes, it's miserable enough." The man scoffed.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu may have found the wrong person, and I'm not interested."
The man raised his eyes and looked at the woman opposite, she was wearing a cartoon split pajamas, a headband with cat ears on her head, and the makeup on her face faded, like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
"So faceless?" The man calmly smiled indifferently.
"Mr. Gu." Xia Ying raised her chin and stared at him, "I've always wanted to be close to me, what is the purpose?" ”
"Purpose?" The man still smiled faintly, "What do you think my purpose is?" ”
"I think that with Mr. Gu's current status and beckoning, a lot of women will be sent to the door, and there is no need to waste time on a small person like me."
"Oh?" The man shook his head, "I never thought you were a little person. ”
"Mr. Gu is really good at laughing, it's hard to be a big man." She smiled wryly.
"Natsu Sakura." The man put away the smile on the corner of his lips, and suddenly became serious, "Between us, aren't you tired of talking like this?" ”
Xia Ying lifted her thick eyelashes and looked at him, "......?" ”
The man took out a delicate jewelry box from his pocket, "I know, tomorrow is your birthday, this is a birthday gift for you." ”
He gently placed the box on the coffee table in front of her and pushed it over.
Xia Ying lowered her eyes and glanced at the box, a high-end custom necklace, a very big luxury brand.
It's kind of funny that he even remembered her birthday.
"No need, I'm not on my birthday."
"Didn't you like to celebrate birthdays the most? You said that you have a lot of small gifts every time you have a birthday, you like the feeling of being spoiled by everyone, you like such a happy day......"
"You said it, that was before." Her eyes darkened, and her face was cold.
"I know, I know you've suffered a lot over the years, three years ago, when I saw you on the boat, you were dying, I knew that you had been tortured inhumanely, and I regret not being able to keep you at that time."
"Three years ago, I am grateful to your workers for saving me, and I am grateful for your healing of me." She was very sincere in her gratitude to him for this, and she didn't want to talk about anything else.
"Xia Ying, can we get acquainted again?" He raised his eyes, his eyes solemn.
Xia Ying was afraid of the light in his eyes, and quickly glanced away, "No need." ”
"Why?"
"Why?" She said coldly, "I'm not interested in Mr. Gu, is this reason okay?" ”
"Then when are you interested in me, I can wait."
"I'm not interested in all men." Xia Ying got up, picked up the red wine glass on the coffee table, and walked to the balcony.
The autumn wind was so cold, she couldn't help but shiver.
Gu Zhichen didn't understand until now that it was not easy to enter Xia Ying's heart when she grew up, the damage he brought her as a child was too great, she was resistant to him, and she was even unwilling to say a word to him.
Her slender figure was like a reed swaying in the wind, thin, fragile, and there was an urge to be protected, at least at this time, so in the man's heart.
He stepped behind her, reached out and hugged her, he could feel her rejection and annoyance,
"Gu Zhichen, you let go of me."
"Shh His big hand exerted a slight force, and the desire to hold it tightened.
"You let me go, I said, I'm not interested in you, I'm not interested in men." She didn't like to be overly intimate, especially him.
"Do you remember? One year, the fireflies in the north of the city were flooded, and you clamored for your mother to take you to see it, but your mother thought it was too far and the road was not easy to walk, so you didn't agree, so you went to find me. ”
“……”
"You tugged at the corner of my clothes, your big eyes were teaning, you said, Brother Zhichen, can you take me to see fireflies? I'll be obedient, I won't run around, you put your little hand in my hand and say, let's hold hands tightly, okay? ”
“……”
"So, I secretly took you to Beicheng, I still remember, those fireflies are very beautiful, like a small lamp, all over the mountains, you are so happy, you said, you can't see enough for three days and three nights."
"I forgot." How could she forget, but she didn't want to think of those good things, no matter how much beauty she had, wouldn't she be defeated in the end? The damage he inflicted on her wiped out all the good things.
He took a deep breath and slowly pressed down again, "But I haven't forgotten, I remember everything very clearly." ”
"That's your business."
"I hope that these things can become our best memories in the future."
She sneered, "We don't have a future." ”
"There will be, there will be."
"Neuropathy." She scoffed.
"Okay, I'm a psychopath," the autumn wind was very cool, and he knew that she had been blowing the cold wind for a long time, "Do you want to go back to the room, this wind is a little too strong." ”
"Gu Zhichen, you let go of me, your behavior like this is very annoying." She struggled to break free, but he didn't move.
...... "He didn't want to make her angry, but he also knew she wouldn't be obedient...... I let go of you, you come back first, the wind on the balcony is too strong, it's easy to catch a cold. ”
"Let go of me."
