Chapter 13: The Answer I Want

Ji Ruoli originally asked Xin Di to have dinner together, but Xin Di had already arranged it in the evening, and he was always afraid of catching up with the dinner of unfamiliar people, so he proposed: "Why don't you sit together now, I am not far from the hotel where you live, April Garden, you call a taxi, you can get there in ten minutes." ”

April Garden is an old-style building hidden in the alley of the city, it is said that it used to be the mansion of a certain warlord, under the change of the times, it has naturally become a large compound where ordinary people live densely, and it has been dilapidated by the implementation of the policy to return to the old owner. After spending a lot of money on maintenance, the three-story villa with a combination of Chinese and Western styles was largely restored, the trees and flowers in the yard were pruned and transplanted again, and a waist-shaped pool was dug up, koi fish were raised, water lilies were planted, a small signboard was hung on the door of the black lacquer courtyard, and a coffee and tea art collection called April Garden was opened. In addition to the lobby, each wing room is individually decorated to display artwork collected by the owner, and there is a small gallery dedicated upstairs showcasing the work of local artists.

In front of the April Garden is a narrow one-way street, and it is inconvenient to park, the business was very depressed, but the owner was originally interested, sticking to it, and slowly the environmental taste was appreciated by outsiders and local petty bourgeoisie, and it has become a good place for people to spend leisure time.

Somehow Ken had a speculative conversation with the owner here, and often brought his work here in the afternoon, drinking tea and eating melon seeds, while drawing design sketches. Neither Xin Di nor he needs to clock in and out of work, but she feels a bit decadent that she is still used to completing work in the design studio.

Suo Mei was about to shoot a new album and invited Xin Di's old classmate Yan Xuhui to come from Beijing to take charge of the film. After seeing the creative plan come up with by David Vavier's advertising agency, Ah Ken proposed that since there is a theme of retro nostalgia, he might as well put it in April Garden to shoot, which was an instant match with David Vavian. Today, the two of them brought the part of the design draft that was ready to be put on the album here for discussion, and by the way, they waited for Dai Weifan to pick up Yan Xuhui.

Finalizing a design can sometimes be a very torturous task, and the two tend to argue and reject certain designs with regret. In this deep and quiet courtyard, sitting in the east wing room with an English floral sofa, the sunlight becomes soft through the gauze curtains, drinking tea alone, drinking coffee alone, tired of discussion, going out to tease the koi in the small pond on the side of the yard, the work is not so tedious. Xin Di had to agree with Ah Ken's words, decadent things have their own decadent joy.

The waitress ushered in a woman in a creamy silk dress and a Chanel bag, and she greeted Xin Di with a smile, Xin Di had always had a poor memory in recognizing people, but fortunately, the beautiful woman in front of her was no different from the vague impression in her mind.

Xin Di said hello to Ah KEN, took Ji Ruoli through the corridor in front of the door, went to the west wing room to sit down, looked at what she was wearing, and said with a smile: "MiuMiu's new style is very beautiful." ”

Ji Ruoli smiled, "I am worthy of being a designer, the last time I saw me, I could see at a glance that I was wearing the clothes of DKNY in the last two seasons, which made me so ashamed." To tell you the truth, I came to see you this time wearing a new style. ”

Xin Di has no doubt that he will say such a bad thing to the person he meets for the first time, "I'm sorry, don't worry, I'm an occupational disease, in fact, I really don't mind which season's design, as long as I wear it to match people, it's a good dress." ”

"I know, you are merciful to me, only say the facts and don't evaluate it." Ji Ruoli kept quiet at that time because of her upbringing, but she was relieved when she saw Xin Di say Lu Fei without scruples, "That time, I also criticized Lu Fei for wearing an old-fashioned Dunhill suit, which is completely the taste of a 40-year-old man, and he also said that you can only see clothes in your eyes." ”

"My colleague Ah Ken said that I am a typical person who respects Luo Yi first and then others, and this snobbery is different from people, haha." Xin Di never took the initiative to judge people's behavior, but he couldn't restrain himself from picking on people's dress, almost criticized Lu Fei once he saw him, and never liked his decent style, and Lu Fei always smiled and talked nonsense by her, without any intention of accepting her opinion.

The waiter brought the coffee and retreated, Ji Ruoli looked at the small tea room, and smiled, "I have long heard that the temperature here in summer is very scary, and it is true." But when I entered here, I felt completely different, and I didn't think that there was such a quiet place in the downtown area, which could be called a big hidden in the city. ”

In late August, the summer is still there, and it is naturally hot, but the flowers and trees in this courtyard are sparse, and the indoor air conditioning is sufficient, which is very comfortable. Xin Di jokingly said, "You should go out and have a good feel so that you don't have to come in vain this season." ”

Ji Ruoli smiled cooperatively, but she could see that she obviously didn't plan to go out for this experience, "You haven't changed at all, Miss Xin, it's still the same as two years ago." ”

Xin Di still has work to do, and he is very afraid of greetings, "You too, I met Lu Fei yesterday, why didn't I hear him say that you were coming." ”

"I came this time, and I haven't called Lu Fei yet, I want to come and see you first."

Xin Di was naturally surprised.

"Lu Fei went on a business trip to the United States in May this year, and when he came back, he suddenly told me that he wanted to cancel his marriage." She frowned at the cup of coffee in front of her, and suddenly stopped, as if trying to press the little tremor in her voice.

Xin Di looked at her nervously, she had no confidence in her ability to comfort people, and her fingers involuntarily touched her backpack before she remembered that she had left it in the east wing. She glanced at the tissue box on the other table, and secretly hoped that Ji Ruoli was using waterproof mascara.

Before she finished thinking about it, Ji Ruoli raised her eyes, and there was indeed a little crystal sparkle in them, but she controlled it well, "Let you see the smile, Miss Xin." I just hope that death will also be understood, so I came here to find an answer. ”

Xin Di couldn't help but feel a little pitiful for me, and at the same time greatly angered Lu Fei, "Is it difficult for Lu Fei to propose to dissolve the marriage contract and not even give an explanation?" That's too much. ”

"He explained, very sincerely, that he realized that it was disrespectful and irresponsible for me to marry me without loving me, that he had always loved another person, that he had loved for many years, and that he did not realize that he wanted to correct this mistake before it was too late."

Xin Di didn't know whether to help or help her relatives at this time, it was obvious that a man was very cold when he said this to his fiancΓ©e, no matter how sincere he was, it was unacceptable, but the person Lu Fei loved should be her cousin Xin Chen, she couldn't help but be a little biased, "That, I'm not going to comfort people, Miss Ji, but I think the two of you should fully communicate, if it's irreparable, then you can only try to minimize the damage." ”

"Does it hurt? I liked him at first sight, and it took him a long time to accept me, and I thought we were together after careful consideration. After more than two years of formal dating, we decided to get married at the end of last year, and then met our parents, all relatives and friends know that our wedding date is September, how do you think this kind of damage needs to be reduced? ”

Xin Di opened his mouth and admitted that his words were too light, but he couldn't help but be a little disgusted. It's not a broken love, and the whole world has to cry with you, she thought.

Ji Leli took a deep breath and calmed down a little excited, "I'm sorry, my tone is a little wrong, I can't blame you for this." ”

"It's okay, I'm ...... I really sympathize with you, and I also feel that Lu Fei didn't handle it well enough. Xin Di searched for dry intestines, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only confess, "I'm sorry, I don't know what I can do to help you." ”

"Of course you can't help me, no one can help anyone in the matter of love, and I don't plan to beg you. But I must know, Lu Fei has loved you for so many years, why didn't he say it to you? He came back once three years ago, he should have come to see you, but why did he accept my feelings when he went back? Did you reject him? Later, it seems that you only met in the autumn more than two years ago, and I was there, and I couldn't see anything between you at all, why did he suddenly realize that he loved you when he came back from the United States this year? ”

This fright came too much, Xin Di's mouth opened into an O-shape, and she couldn't close it for a long time, she knew that she must be stupid, so she could only stammer: "Who...... Who said he loved me? ”

Ji Ruoli looked at her with a complicated expression, "Didn't you know all along?" ”

Xin Di knew that it was inappropriate to joke at this time, but he couldn't help it, and nodded, "Yes, he hid it really well, but how did you know?" Did he say that? He didn't even say anything to me. ”

"Miss Xin, I don't think it matters who wins or loses in love, you don't have to be so frivolous and high-profile." Ji Ruoli was obviously a little irritated by her, "And you are so disrespectful of Lu Fei's feelings, it is a little too cruel, I think you should at least know how to love before you are compassionate to yourself and others." ”

Xin Di was dumbfounded by her lesson, and smiled bitterly for a long time, "There is a big misunderstanding in the middle, Miss Ji, it is true that Lu Fei and I grew up together, and it is not wrong that we are very good friends, but I don't think he loves me, let alone that I love him." I have heard the theory of love very mysterious, but I think love is a matter between two people, and you can't force an outsider to understand. ”

"So you're not ready to accept Lu Fei's feelings at all?"

Xin Di looked at her and hesitated. Ji Ruoli in front of him looked gentle and beautiful, but the eagerness in his eyes was obvious, no matter how emotionally dull Xin Di was, he also understood that the other party certainly didn't just want to see the face of his rival. She didn't want to be cruel to a strange girl, especially if the other party was hurt, but she didn't want to let the relationship between Lu Fei and Xin Chen that hadn't had time to start anymore.

"Miss Ji, I'm not so keen on love, and I always feel that there is more to life than this. Lu Fei is a good friend of mine, and I can only say with certainty that the person he has always loved is not me. If you are unwilling, you should communicate with him directly, so that you can find the answer yourself, and in the end, I am afraid that you will be hurt. ”

"How else can you hurt yourself? Since I was a child, my family has cherished me, and I have loved myself when I ask myself. But if you care about someone, it seems that you have given him the ability to hurt you, so you have to admit it. I'm going to stay here for a while and find an answer, which can be regarded as trying to make amends. ”

Xin Di thought of mentioning Lu Fei to Xin Chen, she shook her head so non-negotiable, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again, "Miss Ji, I don't like to get involved in other people's emotional entanglements, and seeing that you seem to have made up your mind, I won't say anything." ”

"Before I came to the cafΓ©, I asked Lu Fei to come and pick me up, he should be there right away, don't you mind?"

Xin Di smiled secretly, thinking that she was really not as gentle and harmless as she seemed, of course she didn't believe her words when she did that, and wanted to see Lu Fei's reaction, "I don't mind at all." ”

Ji Ruoli held up the coffee saucer with her left hand, held the ear of the coffee cup with her right hand, and took a shallow sip of coffee, her movements were impeccable in line with etiquette, but she smiled: "Alas, Lu Fei and I are used to drinking coffee in large cups in the United States, and it is really a little unaccustomed to holding such a small cup." ”

Xin Di said idly: "You should have known each other for a long time, right?" ”

"yes, it's been five years this year." She raised her hand and gestured to the door, Xin Di turned around, and sure enough, it was Lu Fei who came over.

"Ruo Li, did you make an appointment with Xiaodi?"

"yes, I should have met the person you've always liked."

Lu Fei looked at Xin Di in surprise, and Xin Di couldn't help but smile, "According to Miss Ji, you have had a crush on me for a long time, and I haven't known about it." Alas, Lu Fei, the sullen man is a disaster. ”

Lu Fei was helpless, "Don't mess around, Ruo Li, Xiaodi is my friend, it's not good for you to disturb her like this, let's go." ”

Ji Ruoli sat still and looked at him steadily, "It's not that you're crazy, maybe I'm crazy." Lu Fei, your classmate Ding Xiaoqing told me that you have liked a girl who studied design since you were a student, and rejected everyone for her. Her friend is the one you keep in regular email contact with, and your personal mailbox has kept every email she has for years, and you have a collection of photos with her, her clothing design albums, her sketches, and now you are still pretending to be okay with me, is there any special reason? ”

Xin Di looked at the two of them dumbfounded, and really had nothing to say, so he had to reminisce bitterly in his heart, Lu Fei was unlikely to say who he liked in passing, probably someone was chasing the wind, and it was not a small trouble to reach his mother's ears. When the group photo was taken, she has no impression; In the past few years, Lu Fei has indeed sent a lot of emails, and she has also replied a lot, sometimes she will ask Lu Fei to help her collect some foreign fashion information, but most of them are just gossip and family routines to report their whereabouts; As for the catalogue and sketches of her works, except for the part she kept as information, she has always placed them casually, and she has not deliberately given away such a narcissistic habit everywhere, where does this start?

But Lu Fei's demeanor was calm, without a trace of surprise or embarrassment, "It's not good for you to go through my things, Ruo Li." We were both adults, and I thought we had made it clear, and we broke up amicably and considerately, without making it ugly. ”

Ji Ruoli chuckled, "I've always wanted to maintain a good demeanor, Lu Fei, you have to admit that from the time you told me to break up until now, I have indeed been generous and decent in the past three months, right?" But I endured and endured, and I really couldn't accept such an inexplicable ending, so I did something I didn't think I would do, I went to your house, looked through everything in your study, turned on the computer and entered your mailbox, trying to find clues. But the two of you are so glorious that it makes me look like an idiot. She looked at Lu Fei and then at Xin Di, "Or Lu Fei, be honest with me now, do you have other loves, or do you simply not want to marry me?" ”

"I didn't lie to you, Ruo Li, I've been trying my best to be honest with you."

Ji Ruoli kept a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with tears, "Yes, I shouldn't doubt you, Lu Fei, you are indeed honest, and you never lied to me that you love me." I thought that the way you express your feelings is so subtle. The day you accepted me, I think, all my efforts were in vain, and finally touched you. But I was wrong, I was only moved by myself, I was so wrong. ”

Lu Fei was silent, Xin Di was already so embarrassed that she was restless, she never watched soap operas, and she was even more afraid of such emotional scenes in real life, "I still have work to deal with, Lu Fei, you send Miss Ji back to the hotel to rest." ”

Lu Fei nodded, "Ruo Li, I'll send you back, this matter really has nothing to do with Xiaodi, let's go." ”

Xin Di walked out with them, intending to go back to the East Wing, but suddenly stopped, only to see the two people standing in the courtyard fiddling with cameras and tripods, it was Xin Chen and Lin Yueqing.

Xin Chen looked at the three people standing in front of him through the camera, Lu Fei looked at her in shock, as if he wanted to say something, but immediately closed his mouth tightly; The girl beside him didn't belong, and no one looked at it; And Xin Di looked at her, then at Lu Fei, and smiled bitterly at her camera.

Xin Chen paused for a while, slowly moved away a little from the camera, and smiled at Xin Di, "What a coincidence, Dizi, why are you here, don't you have to go to work?" ”

Xin Di thought, today's meeting is really annoying, but seeing Xin Chen's calm expression, she was slightly relieved, "Ah Ken and I are here to discuss the design draft, and by the way, Dai Weifan will bring the photographer over to see the scene, why are you here?" ”

"Yueqing wanted to shoot some old-style buildings, so I accompanied him all the way to this side." Xin Chen picked up the camera again, turned around slightly, and adjusted the aperture to the side of the villa, "This angle is very interesting." ”

Lin Yueqing nodded to Lu Fei and them, set up a tripod, and said with a smile: "This villa building is very special, sitting in the north and facing south, the east and west wings are symmetrical, and there is a small hexagonal pavilion on the roof, typical Chinese style, but the porch is similar to a colonial building, which is interesting, and I am also preparing to shoot that pavilion." ”

Xin Di gave Lu Fei a look and motioned for him to go first, and he understood, "Ruo Li, let's go." ”

Before they could take a step, David Fan walked in with a tall thin man with a big camera bag, and the man shouted happily: "Xin Di, I have such a big face, you will personally stand at the door to greet me." ”

Xin Di snorted, "You're a little outrageous in your ego, Lao Yan." ”

"Xin Chen, you're here too, great. I told Lao Dai just now that I want you to come out to participate in the post-production of this album. Dai Weifan brought their alumni Yan Xuhui, who resigned a few years ago and has now made a name for himself in the fashion photography industry in Beijing, and he has never cared about Xin Di's blow.

Xin Chen had no choice but to put down the camera and said with a smile: "Hello Xuhui, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

The sun shone obliquely through the shade of the trees on Xin Chen's face, and the shallow smile on her face was dyed with a dazzling pale gold. Ji Ruoli, who was originally absent-minded, was suddenly stunned, and for a moment her eyes were firmly locked on Xin Chen's face, the side with a dimple on her left cheek was so familiar, she opened Lu Fei's folder in the deepest part of the desk drawer a few days ago, took out the sketches and clothing albums inside, and opened them one by one, and the common models on them were clearly in front of her, and she had a preconceived idea after listening to Ding Xiaoqing's words, and she only noticed that the designer of the album and the small signature on the corner of the sketch were both Xin Di.

Ji Ruoli slowly turned her head and looked at Lu Fei, the two met their eyes, Lu Fei's eyes were deep and calm, revealing indescribable complex emotions, and she suddenly understood.

"It's time for you to change your machine." Yan Xuhui looked at the camera in Xin Chen's hand with an insider's eye, "Lao Dai told me that you have been processing pictures for his company, and we finally have the opportunity to cooperate." What a waste, Xin Chen, if you were willing to stay in Beijing, you would definitely develop better than now, how can you deal with those tacky advertisements made by Lao Dai. ”

David Weifan and he have known each other for a long time, and they laughed at each other, and immediately turned him with his elbow honestly and unceremoniously, "Hey, you haven't said that you are fat, you are panting, you are a commercial photographer, and you really regard yourself as an art master." ”

At another time, Xin Di laughed at Yan Xuhui earlier, but was a little surprised at this time, "Chenzi, have you been to Beijing to look for a job?" ”

Xin Chen handed the camera to Lin Yueqing and said lazily: "It was a long time ago." She was facing Xin Di squarely, her expression was calm, but the meaning in her eyes was clearly asking her not to ask about it again, and Xin Di immediately closed her mouth.

But Lu Fei on the side opened his mouth, "Xiaochen, when did you go to Beijing?" ”

Xin Chen's gaze swept over Lu Feihe's face from Ji Ruoli, who had been staring at her closely, still maintaining that smile, and said casually: "I forgot, is it important?" ”

Yan Xuhui smiled: "Xin Chen, this will also be forgotten, it is the year you graduated from college." ”

The smile on Xin Chen's face disappeared, and he glanced at him angrily and annoyedly, "You guys are busy, Yueqing, let's go to the Orthodox church in front first." ”

She didn't look at anyone, turned around and left. Of course, Lin Yueqing could feel that there was a strange atmosphere here, he lifted the tripod, nodded to Lu Fei, and strode out with her.

Yan Xuhui had already learned Xin Chen's willfulness and moodiness before, but he felt that this was the privilege of a beautiful girl, and he didn't take it to heart at all, but when he saw Xin Di's expression glaring at him, he couldn't help but be inexplicable, "Hey, Xin Di, you look at me with this kind of accusation that I abduct underage girls, she was an adult at that time, and she went to Beijing to look for a job, I introduced her to a position in the graphic design of a fashion magazine, and she passed the first and second examinations, and the treatment was very good, and people still intended to let her audition for a graphic model, I said I was going to report for duty next Monday. Originally, the first day was fine, but the next day, her eldest lady didn't know what was going on, and suddenly said that she was not interested, so she took her luggage and left. ”

"Excuse me, what month was that?" Lu Fei asked, his voice low and hoarse.

Yan Xuhui thought about it seriously, "I can't remember it clearly, but the day I sent her on the train, there was a sandstorm in Beijing, it should be March or April." ”

Lu Fei's face was solemn, and Xin Di was stunned.

In March of that year, Xin Chen was in the second semester of her senior year, and when she was having dinner at her uncle's house one weekend, she suddenly said that she planned to look for a job in other places, Xin Kaiming was surprised and asked her where she was going, she smiled and said: "There are more job opportunities in graphic design in big cities, so I'll go to Shanghai to see it first." ”

Xin Kaiming did not agree, and he always advocated that Xin Chen stay in the local area like his daughter. Li Xin did not express her opinion on her choice as usual, but Xin Di smiled, "I thought so when I graduated, but unfortunately it didn't work out." It's good for Tatsuko to give it a try.,Do design-related majors.,Coastal and metropolises do have more room for development.。 ”

Seeing that she insisted on going, Xin Kaiming had no choice but to tell her to bring enough money, contact her family more, and come back immediately if she couldn't find a suitable job. Xin Chen nodded and agreed, and left the next day, almost half a month later, she came back quietly, and the whole person was suddenly silent, Xin Di only thought that she was not looking for a job well enough, and she didn't think much about it, at this time she only linked this matter to Lu Fei's return to China to work in Beijing at the end of February of that year, and couldn't help but sink her face.

"Has Tatsuko ever been looking for you?"

Lu Fei shook his head, "I didn't see her, let's go back and talk about it, Xiaodi." He gently held Ji Ruoli's arm, who was about to speak, and nodded with the few people present, "We have to go one step in advance, goodbye." ”

There was no parking space in front of the gate at all, and Lu Fei parked his car on another adjacent road. Ji Ruoli followed him along the narrow sidewalk, Lu Fei's steps were extremely fast, striding forward, as if he had forgotten Ji Ruoli beside him, she was wearing high heels, barely followed a few steps, suddenly stopped, and looked at his back in despair.

He walked straight forward for more than ten meters before he realized, stopped and turned back, "I'm sorry, Ruo Li, or you wait here, I'll go and drive the car over." ”

"So, it's the girl with the camera, right?" She asked softly, Lu Fei didn't answer, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "Hey, I don't know what it means for me to recognize her, your past is completely blank for me, when we are the most intimate, you never tell me about your past, I still think it's okay, we can have the present and the future." You see I'm just so self-deceived, how ridiculous. ”

"Ruoqi, I'm sorry that I wasn't firm enough, but I accepted your feelings when I pretended to be another person in my heart."

"It's been seven years since you left here, Lu Fei, so how long have you loved her, I don't think she's that old."

"She's 25 years old, I've loved her since she was 14, and that's all I can tell you."

Ji Ruoli tilted his head to the other side sharply, "I'm really having a masochistic attack, flying to this frighteningly hot city just to hear you say this." ”

"I'm sorry."

"Please don't tell me I'm sorry, it is said that when a man says this to a woman, he is determined to fail her." Ji Ruoli smiled bitterly and looked around blankly.

This narrow road is a one-way street, the most common local plane trees are planted on the side of the road, the branches and foliage are dense to shade the summer sun, and the dense buildings on both sides are full of small hair salons, small restaurants and all kinds of small shops. The place where they stood was outside the pink and white courtyard walls of the April Garden, but they didn't feel the tranquility inside at all.

"Do you like it here? Lu Fei, when I asked you before, you always passed by, only saying that there are four distinct seasons here, the summer is very hot, and the city is very noisy and noisy. "Ji Ruoli really doesn't like such a chaotic environment, and he doesn't like such a violent temperature.

"I was born here, I'm used to it, and sometimes I can't get used to it. Of course, there are many places that are better than here, with cleaner air, cleaner roads, a more prosperous environment, more jobs, and a better climate, but no matter where I live, I often think of this city. ”

Ji Ruoli understood that what made him think from time to time was of course more than the hustle and bustle in front of him, "Do you plan to stay and settle down?" What about your job? ”

"Two days ago, I went back to the company to submit my resignation report."

Ji Ruoli was startled, looked up at him, and a sneer slowly rose on the corner of his mouth, "You won't contact me when you go back to Beijing, it's really clean and thorough." ”

"Ruoqi, I flew away that morning and flew back in the evening, the time was very rushed, and we said that we would calm down and wait for your reply, so I didn't bother you."

"Thankfully, you don't have to bump into me head-on in your apartment, how awkward it must be. I thought while flipping it over, I used to call you in advance, never touch your mobile phone, never use your computer, even if you answer the work call, I will consciously avoid a little, lest you think I don't give you enough space, but there will be a time to do this kind of thing. ”

"Forget it, I don't blame you."

"I don't want to blame myself without your forgiveness." Ji Ruoli raised his head and said unceremoniously, "I don't feel guilty at all." Once engaged, I always have the right to know why we broke up, right? ”

"If you go on, I'll have to tell you I'm sorry you don't like to hear."

"Okay, I know I'm probably abnormal, but I really want to know, Lu Fei, what do you love about such a sane man? Was the relationship so deep when I was young? Why do I think it's funny when I think of a boy I had a crush on when I was fourteen or fifteen? ”

"Everyone's feelings are different, don't compare them, it's meaningless."

"In this way, my feelings have been judged by you to be meaningless and unworthy of nostalgia."

Lu Fei shook his head helplessly, knowing that although Ji Ruoli remained calm at this time, he was scathing and irritable completely different from usual, "That's not the case, Ruoqi, I appreciate your tolerance and dedication to me." ”

"My contribution is my own will, I don't need anyone's gratitude, Lu Fei, all I need is a clear explanation."

"I do owe you an explanation, Ruo Oak. I abandoned her seven years ago to study in the United States, and when I left the city, she told me that she never wanted to see me again. She has always been uncompromising, does what she says, does not accept my emails, does not answer my phone calls. I came back three years ago and wanted to ask her to give me a chance, but she left early and didn't see me at all, I thought I had no possibility with her. ”

"So you accepted me as a second resort." This sentence had already reached Ji Leqi's mouth, and she swallowed it back raw. Of course, in fact, she realized it three years ago, but she only told herself to cherish the happiness in front of her. But now that she had to face this clearly, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body in such a hot weather.

"Do I have to call you a love saint? Lu Fei, who didn't have a little juvenile feelings when he was young, it is worth thinking about you until today, and picking it up on the eve of marriage? Is she courting you again now? So you think there is still a possibility between you and her, so you hurriedly sent me away? ”

"She didn't give me any signal, Ruo Li. It's just that I suddenly knew that if it was excusable for me to leave seven years ago, then three years ago I gave up too easily, obviously loved her, but did not wait and insist, and returned to Beijing without staying for a day, I can never forgive myself for this. ”

"Why do I hear so much? So what do you take our previous relationship for? Are you going to tell me that that's my complete wishful thinking, that you're not giving me any affection at all? ”

"You are very good to me, I like you, get along with you, we have very happy times, but I can't enjoy your efforts anymore, it's unfair to continue with you."

"It's fair to me right now. Lu Fei, I've known you for five years, I've loved you for five years, if all I ask for is fairness, it should have been unbalanced a long time ago, why have I loved you for so long, but you only came back to accept me when you didn't want it? You see, you, like me, accept that this is unfair. All I want to know now is what made you suddenly think that you must give me back justice? ”

"Ruo Li, I can't analyze my feelings anymore in exchange for your understanding, I can only say, I'm sorry."

Ji Ruoli couldn't hold back any longer, tears slid out, "I'm sorry again, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there's nothing else between us except sorry?" ”

Lu Fei handed her the handkerchief, "I'm a very bad man, Ruo Li, you deserve someone better to love you, forget about me." ”

"This kind of lovelorn blessing is really bad enough." Ji Ruoli carefully wiped away the tears, opened the leather bag and took out the makeup mirror to look at herself, "Before I came, I was ready to hug you and cry, I used waterproof mascara, I hope the makeup won't be ugly, but now, I shed some tears, and I can't cry anymore." ”

Lu Fei was silent, Ji Ruoli threw the makeup mirror into his bag and stared at him, "What if I say, I'm willing to wait?" ”

Lu Fei frowned, "No, if oak ......"

"Listen to me, Lu Fei. You haven't been in touch for seven years, and you just heard that the girl went to Beijing three years ago and didn't even see you, so she may not still love you, right? I said before, give everyone a little time to calm down, and you agreed. During this time, I will stay local, but I will not get in your way. Go tell her, and if she's willing to accept you, I have nothing to say, I'll leave at once. If she doesn't feel the same way you do, then I hope we give each other a chance. Ji Ruoli said calmly, "You cherish your feelings, but don't look down on my feelings, okay?" ”

Lu Fei looked at her, his expression had never been so tired as he was now, "I've hurt her, and now I don't even know how to face her, let alone redeem my confession with her." I'm sorry, Ruo Li, please don't wait for me, I appreciate your kindness, but I don't have the possibility of being with anyone else. ”
