The pebble road leading to the depths of the villa was not long, but it took her twice as long to walk through it, and the uneasiness in the car just now was like a ripple in the lake, rippling in her heart.

Cheng Hongxin has been busy with his tea and wine store recently, and when he is free, he holds Xing'er in his arms, pokes his fingers at each new word to accompany her to read, and learns to cook some delicious meals for her, although his skills are far inferior to someone, but she can feel that he is doing it very seriously.

There was no one in the living room, and the maid told her that Xing'er had been sent to the kindergarten and that the husband was alone in the study.

The study is in the corner of the first floor, although the two of them have lived for so long, he has hardly gone up to the second floor, and she has hardly entered his study and bedroom, and the two of them have a clear life.

Knocking lightly on the door of the study, there was no one inside, and she screwed the door open directly.

She couldn't help coughing twice because of the smell of tobacco, the light in the room was very dim, the curtains were all tightly drawn, and the man in the leather seat was a little uncomfortable and raised his hand to block the incoming white light.

"Last night...... I called your phone all night, where did it go? ”

His voice was calm and quiet, and he couldn't hear any waves, but his voice was very hoarse, leaving traces of tobacco. You Lan slowly approached him, only to find that the dark circles under the man's eyes were particularly heavy, and he didn't seem to have slept all night.

"I have something to tell you, let's go to the living room and talk about it, can we?" The light in the study was too dim, and she couldn't see the expression on his face at all if she was a little farther away, which was a particularly bad feeling. She looked down at the phone in her pocket, which turned off automatically because it ran out of battery.

The man didn't move, he took out a cigarette from the drawer in front of him again, the blue flame lit the cigarette, and the smell of tobacco in the room became stronger, "I'm a little tired, I don't want to move, I heard the sound of the car starting just now, did he send you back?" ”

"I'm sorry, Hongxin. I know you've done a lot for me, and I've promised to be with you all the time! But now I can't do it, you just treat me as a woman who doesn't keep her word and goes back on your word, forget about me! ”

She had been preparing for a long time to toss and turn in the car, her fingers slowly clenching into fists at her sides, she didn't know what he would be angry about, but whatever the consequences, she was ready to bear it.

"Forgot about you? Forgot about you? He didn't mean to be angry, but just laughed and repeated what she had just said, and the lighter was up and down in his hand. He hung his head slightly, and even his expression was hidden in darkness.

You Lan's heart hung in the air, she didn't expect him to react like this, she would rather he get angry and sweep all the things on the table to the ground, or break the vase on the antique shelf, and then point at her nose and scold her for being a heartless woman.

"Hongxin, even if you trap my person, my heart is already there for him. Is there any point between us if this continues? ”

She can't abandon love for the last promise she had to make, and she can't let her two hearts suffer the same way, she can only be selfish once, she has no choice!

"Lan'er ......" was very hoarse in a smoked voice, and he couldn't even count how many cigarettes he had smoked from last night to this morning. He called her name like this, and there was a long silence in the air, and after a while, he slowly spoke, "Have you ever loved me since I was a child?" Even if it's just a moment? ”

When you fall into obsessive love, there will always be people who are humble like beggars!

"I've always loved you, the kind of love between relatives, I've always treated you as a brother!"

How could she forget the bits and pieces of her childhood, she already knew him when she was wearing open crotch pants, and she always regarded him as a relative.

"Brother?" Cheng Hongxin chewed these two words carefully, and the corners of his lips hooked a self-deprecating smile, "So...... I can't keep you anyway, can I? You love that man so much, where the hell am I losing? Can you tell me? ”

The man's voice was always calm, like calm before a storm.

You Lan once read a book that said that when the sea is facing strong winds and waves, there will be a period of special calm. She carefully weighed her words, lest any one would ignite his ignition.

"Love is not a race, a deal, and there is no comparison. It's not about getting as much as you give, and it's not about first come, first served. If you really still cherish my sister, you might as well fulfill us! ”

Every time she faced Cheng Hongming, the feeling of thumping her heartbeat told her who she was thinking about!

"I've seen the things about the store pretty much the same, Xing'er will pick her up for the last time when she leaves the park in the afternoon, and ...... Have you had breakfast, if not, I'll have the maid ready and deliver it to your room. ”

He got up from his leather seat and said these innocuous lines, but his love for her was still there, as if he had not been affected by the incident.

He acquiesced to the matter, without arguing with her or questioning her without any questioning.

You Lan's eyes were covered with a layer of wetness, she walked over and gave him a hug, the man just stood upright, and there was a terrifying coldness in his dark eyes, but she didn't notice this coldness at all.

"Thank you! If you let me go, you will actually let yourself go, and you will have the opportunity to find a woman who loves you and cherishes you, and then spend the rest of your life happily with her. ”

Everyone has their own fate, her fate is Cheng Hongming, it is impossible to change it at all, and she also hopes that Cheng Hongxin can meet her destiny as soon as possible, and then get rid of this unrequited relationship.

You Lan didn't expect him to agree to her so calmly, as if he had expected this incident to happen last night, and it was gratifying to be able to part with him so calmly no matter what.

She was busy in the room packing up her things, as well as Xing'er's toys and picture books, and the footsteps behind her walked in silently.

It wasn't until the black cotton shoes appeared in her sight that You Lan stood up in a trance, "I'm cleaning up, Xing'er has too many things, and it's making a mess of the house." ”

"This morning, when Xing'er went to the kindergarten, I promised to spend Christmas with him tonight. Can you leave tomorrow? ”

There was a deep expectation hidden in the man's cool voice, he had promised her to leave, but he just wanted her to leave later.

"I was going to spend this Christmas with you, do you remember when you were a kid, we built snowmen in the alley and had a snowball fight, because you were on our team, so we always won?"

You Lan had a bright smile on her face, she already owed him something, how could she not agree to his little request!

"At that time, as long as I stood by your side, no one would dare to bully you!"

Cheng Hongxin's eyes were a little hollow, as if he had returned to a long, long time ago, two young men, holding hands, running and jumping together, chasing and catching up.

It would be nice if it never grew up, if time could freeze it.

Cheng Hongxin brought Xing'er back very early, and asked the maid to cook a big table of dishes, and he opened the bottle of Mouton Collector's Edition of 82, knowing with her unique vision that this bottle of wine must be worth a lot.

Xing'er ate a lot of small sweets, and quickly filled her stomach, and the maid led her in the direction of the second floor.

The man shook the tulip-shaped goblet, the red liquid swaying, less than hanging on the wall of the glass, "I think you should not hesitate to drink a glass of wine with me, live up to the price of this bottle, and live up to the time of so many years." ”

You Lan moved the wine glass to her eyes, all her eyes fell on the wall of the glass that was refracted by the light, she had no reason to refuse him, no matter how much absurdity and helplessness the past overlapped, she was the one who lost him after all.

This kind of deep guilt, where can a glass of red wine with a low degree be compensated.

She owes him, from time to feelings, debts that have nothing to do with money are even more difficult to repay than money.

With some kind of impulsive little emotion, she drank the wine in front of her, and the original mellow liquid hit the depths of her throat, leaving only an extremely bitter taste.

The amount of alcohol was already very shallow, and she was too unkind when she poured herself wine just now, and after a glass of wine, she felt that her head was a little dizzy, and even the man sitting opposite had a superposition.

His arms felt numb, but he still picked up the wine bottle with his strength and filled the empty glass in front of him again, "Such a good wine can't be wasted, I will drink two more glasses with you!" ”

The red liquid poured directly into her mouth again, and the dizziness was even stronger, and the degree of this bottle of red wine should not exceed 15 degrees, even if she was no longer strong enough to drink, she would not feel like she was about to lose consciousness after two glasses.

A bad premonition hit her heart, and she inadvertently met the eyes of the man opposite, and the tenderness and affection just now had evolved into cold indifference.

"Hongxin, you...... What did you put in the wine...... the rest of the words were still choked in her throat, her apricot eyes full of panic and horror had slowly closed, she lay quietly on the long marble table, her long hair spread out like seaweed, and her rosy cheeks looked like a sleeping baby because of the wine.

"Lan'er, you are too naïve, how could I give you up to Cheng Hongming. He's taken everything from me, and there's no way I'm going to let him take you again. What I can't get, I'd rather destroy than give it to him! ”

Cheng Hongxin curled up her index finger and swiped across her fair cheeks, with a hideous and terrifying look between her eyebrows and eyes, like a ghost and devil coming out of hell......
