chapter174
This kind of problem, Huang Ping is not easy to admit, and it is not easy to deny.
After a little silence, he said to Wei Chi: "They are also thinking about you, after all, Cheng Rao ...... her."
Speaking of this, Huang Ping paused: "She is not worth your effort." ”
Of course, there is no mother in this world who wants to belittle her daughter.
The reason why Huang Ping said this was to let Yu Chi give up as soon as possible.
Cheng Rao's temperament, what he decided, ten cows couldn't pull it back.
"Whether it's worth it or not, only I know." Wei Chi glanced down at the lemon tea in his hand, "I went to the airport to see her off today." ”
Hearing Yu Chi say this, Huang Ping was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?" ”
Wei Chi said: "She asked Yao Yu to give me a bank card, and Yao Yu told me." ”
As soon as he said this, Huang Ping understood.
Wei Chi said to Huang Ping: "No matter what, I will always wait for her." ”
Huang Ping was moved by Yu Chi's attitude, her eyes were sour, and she didn't know what to say for a long time.
At this time, it happened to be served, so Huang Ping said to him, "Let's eat first." ”
Wei Chi himself is not a restrained person, and he is not strangers to Huang Ping, so he is not very particular when eating together.
The dishes she ordered just now were ordered by Huang Ping, and the few dishes she ordered were basically in line with Yu Chi's taste.
Huang Ping said: "The almond tofu in this shop is very delicious, but I remember that you are allergic to nuts, so I didn't order it." ”
Hearing Huang Ping say this, a warm current passed through Wei Chi's heart.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said to Huang Ping: "Thank you, aunt, you are better to me than my mother." ”
Huang Ping didn't expect Yu Chi to say this, but he was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to reply.
After a long time, Huang Ping asked him: "Do you have a bad relationship with your parents?" ”
"Well, not good." Wei Chi nodded.
Huang Ping: "Maybe there is a problem with communication, just like me and Cheng Rao, try to communicate well, how can there be parents who don't care for their children." ”
"I've been like this since I was a kid, and I'm used to it." Wei Chi shook his head, "It's okay, it doesn't matter." ”
Seeing Wei Chi's attitude, Huang Ping felt distressed for a while.
She really likes Wei Chi, and after thinking for a while, Huang Ping said to him: "If you don't dislike it, you can treat me as a mother in the future, and if you need help with anything, you can find me......"
"When I first met Cheng Rao, I actually envied her, and I felt that she didn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness." Wei Chi replied non-requires.
"Huh?" Huang Ping was curious.
"At that time, I thought you cared about her, but she didn't appreciate it. I haven't been cared for by my parents since I was a child, and when I have a fever, the nanny at home takes care of me. ”
Wei Chi rarely mentioned this kind of thing to others, and he never mentioned it to Cheng Rao.
Huang Ping was somewhat surprised when she heard Yu Chi say this.
She did hear Qiao Ruzhang say that Wei Junliao and Ji Yuan preferred their younger son, but she didn't think too exaggerated.
Hearing what Wei Chi said, Huang Ping felt incredible.
"Then they ——?"
"Actually, my grandfather is the same, my brother was better to me after he had an accident." Speaking of this, Wei Chi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Others always feel that it is annoying to be cared for by the family, and I don't have a chance to be annoyed." ”
"Later, I thought, either they just leave me alone for the rest of my life, but when I wanted to be with Cheng Rao, they ran out to stop me again." Speaking of this, Wei Chi was a little weak, "If it weren't for them, I would have married her by now." ”
“……”
After Huang Ping saw Wei Chi's red eyes, she felt uncomfortable.
She really didn't know how to persuade her.
"Thank you, aunt, you are really good to me." Wei Chi took a breath and said to Huang Ping: "But Cheng Rao, I have already decided, I think I can wait for her." ”
He never said the second half of this sentence to others.
This is the first time.
Although he was separated from Cheng Rao this time, he was also very uncomfortable, but this kind of discomfort was not the same type at all as the last time.
Probably because Xiao Ye is really gone, or because they got along too well some time ago.
Cheng Rao's dependence and liking are all really existent.
Even if she was awake now, there was no way to deny their existence.
It's like Hua Lin said - she might just need time.
"Cheng Rao, she ......" Huang Ping thought for a while, and said to Yu Chi: "She is no longer as simple as love for Xiao Ye. ”
"She loves to drill the horns, and now she just doesn't allow herself to betray Xiao Ye, so she can't get out of that strange circle."
When she said this, Huang Ping sighed: "I don't know how to persuade her, if I say it a little more seriously, I am afraid that it will stimulate her, so I can only let her." ”
"I know." Wei Chi nodded, "Just let her choose, I won't force her, I will wait." ”
Wei Chi's attitude was so persistent that Huang Ping didn't know how to persuade him.
After being silent for a while, Huang Ping said to Wei Chi: "If there is a suitable girl, give it a try, and your conditions can be found well." ”
Wei Chi didn't say anything, and Huang Ping didn't force him anymore, "Okay, let's eat, have a happy meal." ”
"Okay." Wei Chi nodded.
Huang Ping and Wei Chi sat together and had dinner.
After dinner, the two men said goodbye to each other.
Regarding Wei Zhengsheng's proposal, Huang Ping thought that she had made it clear to Wei Chi, but Wei Chi had her own ideas, and she couldn't force Wei Chi to accept all her proposals.
**
Two days passed peacefully, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday.
At five o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, Wei Chi left work on time.
He put down what he was holding and came out of the office.
As soon as I walked to the door, I ran into Wen Jiayu.
When he saw Wen Jiayu, Yu Chi almost thought that he was hallucinating.
He stared at Wen Jiayu for a long time before asking, "Why are you here?" ”
Wen Jiayu smiled and said, "I'm on vacation and come to Los Angeles to play for a few days." ”
After finishing speaking, she asked Wei Chi, "Have dinner together?" ”
Wei Chi said, "Okay, I'll treat you to eat." ”
Yu Chi didn't hate Wen Jiayu, and when they broke up, Wen Jiayu was very happy, and he didn't stalk him to embarrass him.
Therefore, he also has a good attitude towards Wenjiayu.
Yu Chi took Wen Jiayu to a nearby restaurant, and after sitting down, Wen Jiayu asked Yu Chi with a smile: "How are you and Cheng Rao?" ”
She asked Wei Chi a question.
The expression on his face froze, and after a few seconds, he replied to her, "Not good, it's divided." ”
Wen Jiayu smiled, but he didn't expect him to be so honest.
After thinking for a few seconds, Wen Jiayu said to Yu Chi: "Actually, I knew about this two days ago. ”
Wei Chi: "How do you know?" ”
Wen Jiayu: "Grandpa Wei called me and asked if it was possible for me to reconcile with you." ”
Yu Chi: "......"
Wen Jiayu: "He also invited me to come to Los Angeles. ”
Wen Jiayu didn't hide it at all, and was extraordinarily calm.
After listening to her words, Wei Chi said to her, "Don't listen to his nonsense. They're trying to choreograph me right now. ”
As soon as Wei Chi said this, Wen Jiayu knew his attitude.
She smiled, "Actually, they're thinking about you, too." After all, in the eyes of the general public, affection is not a sufficient and necessary condition for marriage. ”
For example, Wen Jiayu thinks very openly in this regard.
She has been taught the necessity of being the right person since she was a child, so she basically didn't talk about a boyfriend with a lot of different conditions.
There are some things that she knows may be painful to do, so she simply chooses not to do them. Yu Chi didn't reply to Wen Jiayu's words.
Wen Jiayu observed his expression for a moment, and said with a smile: "I said it casually, the concept is different, don't mind." ”
Wei Chi shook his head: "No." ”
Wen Jiayu asked him, "Then how are you two doing now?" Did she say what she thought? ”
Wen Jiayu was very curious about what Cheng Rao's attitude towards Wei Chi would be.
It stands to reason that Wei Chi gave up so much for her, how could she be a little moved, right?
It's really embarrassing to be divided so mercilessly.
"Whatever she thinks, I'll just wait." Wei Chi said.
After he said this, Wen Jiayu stared at him for a long time with his chin in his hands.
Yu Chi was looked at a little unnaturally by her, "What are you looking at?" ”
"It's nothing, I was just thinking, she's not completely unemotional for you."
Wen Jiayu considers himself a person who is relatively cold in terms of feelings.
But she thought carefully about Wei Chi's dedication to Cheng Rao, and it was impossible for her to be indifferent.
Unless, her heart is really made of stone.
"Thank you for comforting me." Yu Chi and Wen Jiayu thanked each other.
Wen Jiayu was amused by Yu Chi's politeness: "It's okay, it's just to tell the truth." ”
**
Yu Chi had a meal with Wen Jiayu, and after dinner, Yu Chi sent Wen Jiayu back to the hotel, and then went home.
Not long after Wen Jiayu returned to the hotel, he received a call from Wei Zhengsheng.
Wen Jiayu knew very well what Wei Zhengsheng was going to ask her.
So, as soon as the phone was connected, he smiled and said, "Grandpa Wei, I did my best." He has his own ideas, and I think you should try to respect his ideas. ”
Even if Wei Zhengsheng had a temper, he naturally couldn't send it to Wen Jiayu, and when he heard Wen Jiayu say this, he could only respond.
After that, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and the phone call was over.
**
Cheng Rao stayed in Mexico City for more than a day, after which she went to Monterrey.
Everywhere she went, she would talk to Huang Ping, so that she wouldn't worry too much.
After getting off the plane, she took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to Huang Ping to report her safety, and then went to the hotel.
A one-man journey is lonely and fulfilling.
Cheng Rao wore rings and bracelets all the way, as if he was still by his side.
On the way back to the hotel, Cheng Rao received a call from Huang Ping, telling her to pay attention to safety and eat on time.
Cheng Rao should accept them one by one. Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Huang Ping suddenly called out to her.
"Rao." She sighed softly.
Cheng Rao looked out the car window: "What's wrong?" ”
Huang Ping said: "Think about Wei Chi again, he has been waiting for you." ”
Hearing Huang Ping talk about Yu Chi, Cheng Rao immediately squeezed her mobile phone, and beads of sweat oozed from her palms.
She didn't reply for a long time, Huang Ping thought she was angry, so she said: "Don't be angry, I just advise you, the choice is in your hands." ”
"Mom." Cheng Rao shouted at her and said, "I'm not angry. ”
"You have feelings for him, too, I can see that. I also know that you can't let go of Xiao Ye, but he is gone, and you have accepted such a reality. He must not want you to live like this, right? ”
Huang Ping rarely persuaded Cheng Rao so patiently about one thing.
Hearing Huang Ping mention Xiao Ye, Cheng Rao subconsciously looked down at the ring and bracelet on her right hand.
Cheng Rao still didn't speak, and Huang Ping didn't say much this time, she knew that there were some things that Cheng Rao needed time to digest.
With her personality, it is unlikely that she will accept Wei Chi for a while.
"Go back to the hotel and have a good rest first, pay attention to safety." Huang Ping said, "I hung up the phone. ”
Cheng Rao said "um" and hung up the phone.
After putting down the phone, she put her head on the car window, and her ears kept echoing what Huang Ping had just said.
Yu Chi ...... Thinking of this name, her heart was inexplicably a little sore.
She had already said so harshly, why didn't he let go?
Do you have to be masochistic like this?
Cheng Rao raised her hand and touched her eye socket and closed her eyes.
**
Cheng Rao's trip lasted more than three months.
I started in August and didn't come back until November.
During this period, she would buy a postcard and send it to her home every time she went to Los Angeles, and by the time she returned to Los Angeles, her family had nearly 60 postcards.
When Cheng Rao returned to Los Angeles, it was already early winter.
When she returned, she wore a heavy cotton coat and looked a little clumsy.
This cotton coat was bought by her on the Antarctic and put on the innermost layer.
Because I really didn't have any clothes to wear, I had to wear this to come back.
………
The day Cheng Rao came back happened to be the weekend.
Wei Chi learned the news of Cheng Rao's return to Los Angeles from Qiao Yaoyu.
For three months, he looked forward to this day almost every day.
Wei Chi called Huang Ping in advance and told her his plan to pick up the airport.
Huang Ping knew Wei Chi's intentions for Cheng Rao, and couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed to let him go.
She didn't tell Cheng Rao about this in advance.
Cheng Rao thought that the person who came to pick her up would be Huang Ping, but who knew that she saw Wei Chi.
Cheng Rao was carrying her suitcase, and as soon as she walked to the exit, she ran into Wei Chi.
Wei Chi stood at the exit in a tracksuit, with a smile on his face, looking at her intently.
When she got closer, Wei Chi raised his hand and took the suitcase in her hand, "I'll send you back." ”
"What are you doing here?" Cheng Rao's voice had no warmth.
In three months, her hair grew a lot longer and she tanned a lot.
She was dressed a little sloppily today, with a clumsy black cotton suit on top, black jeans underneath, and sneakers on her feet.
Her attitude was cold, but she seemed to be in a much better state than before.
I guess it played a role in going out for a walk.
Wei Chi stared at Cheng Rao for a while, and then said to her, "Take you back and go." ”
He spoke naturally, as if the two of them had never been separated.
Cheng Rao looked down at the suitcase in his hand, and the hand in his pocket grabbed the piece of fabric in his pocket.
She took a deep breath, "Do you think that's interesting?" ”
Wei Chi stopped and looked back at her: "What? ”
Cheng Rao: "What do you want to do like this?" ”
Yu Chi: "I want to be with you, didn't you see it a long time ago?" ”
"I won't pester you, just see you first, and I'll get out of here after sending you home."
Afraid that Cheng Rao would not be at ease, Wei Chi opened his mouth and promised her, "Let's go." ”
Cheng Rao pursed her lips and followed behind Wei Naked.
When she got into the car, she sat in the back seat instead of the passenger seat.
Wei Chi knew that she didn't want to have close contact with him.
From time to time, Wei Chi would look at her in the rearview mirror, and he noticed that she was still wearing the ring and bracelet that Xiao Ye had bought for her.
She didn't think it was at all out of her hands, and she protected it like a baby.
Thinking of this, Wei Chi was a little uncomfortable.
But he couldn't say anything.
On the way, Cheng Rao didn't say a word, and Wei Chi took the initiative to find a topic.
He asked, "Have fun?" ”
Cheng Rao: "......"
She didn't know how to answer that kind of question.
The relationship between the two of them has reached this point, according to his character, how can he chat with her so casually? Cheng Rao didn't answer, Wei Chi raised his eyes and glanced at her in the mirror, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Don't you even want to talk to me?" ”
"What do you want?" Cheng Rao clenched her fists, "I'll sleep with you again, can you stop these meaningless entanglements?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wei Chi slammed on the brakes.
Without any resistance, Cheng Rao's body was almost thrown out like this, but fortunately, she grabbed the back of the chair in the front row, which stabilized.
"That's what you think of me?" Wei Chi looked back at her.
"It's not." Cheng Rao said, "Except for body and money, I have nothing more to give you." ”
Wei Chi sneered, didn't answer her words, started the car directly, and continued walking.
………
Later, along the way, neither of them spoke to anyone.
After returning home, Huang Ping, Qiao Ruzhang and Qiao Yaoyu were all there.
Wei Chi carried the box for Cheng Rao and sent her into the house.
As soon as Wei Chi came in, Huang Ping invited him: "Yu Chi, you can stay here for dinner at night." ”
Wei Chi didn't reply, and turned his head to look at Cheng Rao, who seemed to be asking for her opinion.
Cheng Rao didn't look at him for too long, and after glancing at him, she retracted her gaze indifferently, and then threw out two words: "Whatever." ”
With that, she went upstairs to change her clothes.
Her attitude was so indifferent, Huang Ping immediately turned her head to look at Yu Chi, "Yu Chi, she ......"
"It's fine." Yu Chi had already guessed what Huang Ping was going to say.
He interrupted Huang Ping with his mouth and said with a smile: "You didn't drive me away, I'm already very content." ”
Huang Ping: "......"
"By the way, I'll give you something." Qiao Yaoyu patted Wei Chi's arm.
was slapped by Qiao Yaoyu, and Yu Chi followed him to the room on the first floor.
Qiao Yaoyu took out a cardboard box from the drawer, then pulled out a postcard from it and handed it to him.
On the postcard, there is a photo of Cheng Rao, and there are words written by her on it.
"Latitude 54°47'S; 68°20′ west longitude, the end of the world. ”
The last line is the signature and date of the payment.
In the photo, she is sitting under the lighthouse with a light smile on her face.
Wei Chi stared at the photo for a while, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.
He hadn't laughed like that in a long time.
For the past three months, most of the time has been frowning.
Although the emotions have gradually calmed down with the passage of time, the gloom in my heart is still slow to dissipate.
However, after seeing her smile, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Qiao Yaoyu said to Wei Chi: "She has been going for so long, so she sent back such a photo, and the rest of the postcards are landscapes." ”
"You can take this photo, I planned to give it to you before, I was too busy with the internship during this time to send it to you." Qiao Yaoyu explained briefly.
After listening to Qiao Yaoyu's words, Wei Chi nodded at him, "Thank you." ”
"What are you doing with me so politely." Qiao Yaoyu patted him on the shoulder, "You keep trying." ”
**
Cheng Rao went upstairs to change her clothes and then went downstairs, she changed into a set of gray sportswear when she got home, and the air conditioning was turned on at home, and the temperature was not low.
When she went downstairs, Yu Chi and Qiao Yaoyu happened to come out of the room on the first floor.
Qiao Yaoyu walked in front of Cheng Rao and stopped, pinching her face, "I found that you seem to be tanned." ”
Cheng Rao said "um", "It's tanned." ”
Qiao Yaoyu: "But it's okay, it's good to tan it, you were too white before, and now you look healthy like this." ”
During this period of Cheng Rao's trip, she not only tanned, but also gained some weight, and the whole person looked a lot more energetic, and even her eyes were more energetic than before.
Seeing her changes, Qiao Yaoyu was still very happy.
When Cheng Rao was talking to Qiao Yaoyu, she didn't even look at Wei Chi.
After a while, Huang Ping called them to eat.
After hearing Huang Ping's voice, Cheng Rao picked up Qiao Yaoyu and walked to the restaurant, followed by Wei Chiyi.
Qiao Yaoyu deliberately vacated the seat next to Cheng Rao, and when Wei Chi saw this, he immediately sat down.
Although he sat down, Cheng Rao still didn't look at him.
Being ignored like this, Wei Chi was inevitably a little frustrated in his heart.
But fortunately, Huang Ping's attitude towards him is really good, and he always greets him when he eats.
After the meal, Wei Chi was ready to leave.
When he left, he stared at Cheng Rao for a long time.
Cheng Rao didn't say a word.
Huang Ping was a little helpless, she personally sent Wei Chi out of the house.
After walking outside, Huang Ping sighed and said to Yu Chi, "Don't mind too much, Cheng Rao she-"
"It's fine." Wei Chi smiled at Huang Ping, "I'm already very satisfied that she can see me." ”
"It's cold, go back quickly." Wei Chi said goodbye to Huang Ping, "I'll go first." ”
"Okay, be careful on your way." Huang Ping waved his hand at Wei Chi.
**
A few days after Cheng Rao returned to Los Angeles, it was the death day of her dead child.
In November last year, she lost her and Xiao Ye's child.
In fact, she doesn't like children, but every time she thinks of that child, her heart feels torn.
On November 6th, Cheng Rao will never forget this day in her life.
She went out early in the morning and spent the whole day strolling around the floor of the mall's maternity and baby products and children's clothing.
When she sees someone pushing a stroller out with a child, she thinks of that child.
It would be nice if TA was still alive.
Cheng Rao stayed in the mall all day, and she didn't get a drop of water.
Depressed, after dark, she drove to a bar to get drunk.
