In the hall of the Y-ing Group, Xu Ruo's wheelchair was parked in the most conspicuous position, and many employees recognized him as the son of the Xu family, but no one knew why he appeared here.

Zhong Qing walked out of the elevator and saw Xu Ruo at a glance, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, Xu Ruo was like a serious illness, his face was very haggard, and he was a little sloppy without shaving, although there was a feeling of decadent and handsome guy in the eyes of other women, but Zhong Qing could see that he had not had a good time these days.

Seeing Zhong Qing appear, Xu Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled bitterly: "I thought you didn't want to see me." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhong Qing avoided Xu Ruo's gaze and said.

Xu Ruo sighed slightly: "I want to invite you to a cup of coffee, is it okay?" ”

Xu Ruo's almost pleading gesture made Zhong Qing reluctant to refuse, the two have known each other for more than 20 years, and they have been very good friends since they were very young, who would have thought that one day their relationship would become like this?

Zhong Qing pushed Xu Ruo's wheelchair to the café next to the company, and when he entered, he found that there was someone inside, and there was no third person except him and Xu Ruo.

Fang Zuo stood at the door after bringing two cups of coffee, and only Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo were left in the huge space.

The aroma of coffee came to her nose, but Zhong Qing didn't want to drink it at all, she didn't even know what expression she was going to use to face Xu Ruo, was she angry? Because he deceived himself for three years, but Zhong Qing can't forget the scene when Xu Ruo was beaten by Gu Zihan in his life, and he really wanted to save her at that time.

"Why?" Zhong Qing asked Xu Ruo: "You have lied to me for three years, why on earth?" "I've been in this wheelchair for three years! Others will definitely not endure it, how did Xu Ruo do it? Why did he torture himself so much?

Holding the cup with trembling hands, Xu Ruo took a sip of coffee, bitter coffee without sugar and milk, but it tasted sweeter than expected, maybe he was too bitter, so he couldn't taste the bitterness of coffee.

Putting down the cup, Xu Ruo stood on the ground with his feet for the first time in front of Zhong Qing, and his two arms supported the wheelchair and slowly stood up.

Although Zhong Qing knew the truth, she couldn't imagine seeing Xu Ruo get up from the wheelchair with her own eyes, she saw Xu Ruo stand up in front of her, and slowly let go of the wheelchair with both hands.

Xu Ruo opened his legs and took a step in Zhong Qing's direction.

Zhong Qing's fingers curled up together, at this moment she hated Xu Ruo, no matter what the reason, he shouldn't have abused himself like this! No matter what excuse can be an excuse to restrain him, he should not bear the criticism and sympathetic eyes of outsiders, he is the upright Xu Ruo!

"I'm sorry." Xu Ruo's eyes were red, he took Zhong Qing's hand, and trembled: "I'll tell you now, I, I've been able to stand up, Zhong Qing, look, I'm fine." ”

Zhong Qing subconsciously wanted to hold on to him, but when she realized that Xu Ruo was fine, she withdrew her hand.

Xu Ruo's hand was empty in the air, he put down his arm in frustration, pulled over the chair next to him and sat down slowly. Zhong Qing found that although Xu Ruo's legs were already able to walk upright, his walking posture was a little strange, saying that Xu Ruo's right hamstring was shortened, maybe this was the reason.

"Your legs ......"

"Three years ago, I begged him not to tell the diagnosis that my leg could be treated, and I begged him to help me lie because ...... Because I know that if my leg gets better one day, you'll be gone too. Xu Ruo blames himself for his previous lies, but if he can go back in time and start all over again, he may choose to lie.

The three years he has worked with Zhong Qing have been his happiest time, he and Zhong Qing always stay together except for sleeping and resting, and the regular customers of the hotel think they are a couple, Xu Ruo enjoys that kind of virtual happiness, even if that happiness only lasts for three years.

"In the past three years, I have been communicating with the doctor by email, and according to his doctor's instructions, in secret rehabilitation, the storage room on the top floor of the hotel has been converted into a rehabilitation room by Fang Zuo, and I often go there in the early hours of the morning for rehabilitation." Xu Ruo lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong: "As for the reason why I have been hiding from you for so long, it is because...... I don't want you to go. ”

"Why are you worried I'm leaving?" Zhong Qing said: "Xu Ruo, you are my best friend, even if you recover, it will not affect ......"

Xu Ruo interrupted Zhong Qing's words and said in an almost sad tone: "But you know, I don't just want to be your friend. ”

The rest of the words were choked in his throat, Zhong Qing looked at Xu Ruo's affectionate eyes, and all emotions surged up.

"I've liked you since I was very young, because you liked Gu Zihan at that time, so I thought my departure could fulfill you, but I didn't expect that even without Gu Zihan, you wouldn't look at me more." Xu Ruo smiled self-deprecatingly: "Maybe in your words, the way you look at me is just looking at my friends." ”

Zhong Qing closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"But that's more than what I want." Xu Ruodao: "I want to get you, completely get you, your person, your heart, I want it, I admit that I am selfish, I admit that I lied to you, but I have never had to get anything since I was a child, only you, Zhong Qing, only you." ”

Everything in the world, wind and snow, money and power, these are all fleeting clouds for Xu Ruo, he thinks that he has never asked God for anything excessive, only Zhong Qing, he just wants to be with Zhong Qing.

Xu Ruo's affection made Zhong Qing at a loss, she knew that he couldn't listen to anything else now. Just like Zhong Qing doesn't love Xu Ruo, Xu Ruo has long known that Zhong Qing has rejected it a long time ago, but liking is liking, if you like someone who can give up so easily, how can there be such a thing as "forever" in the world?

"You don't like me, I can work hard, but Gu Xiu...... He doesn't deserve you. Xu Ruodao: "Back then, he didn't protect you and let you be threatened by Gu Zihan, and now he forces you to go back to China to do things you don't like, Zhong Qing, you really have to be sober, you have to see Gu Xiu's true face!" ”

Hearing Xu Ruo's words, Zhong Qing realized that Xu Ruo had become very extreme now, his pupils were full of red bloodshots, and blue tendons appeared on his forehead, as if he was in a hurry to go crazy and be in a hurry to restrain him.

"What we said today has nothing to do with him." Zhong Qing said the most difficult thing for Xu Ruo to accept in the calmest tone, she said: "What's more, I was sorry for him back then, Gu Zihan made a mistake, and Gu Xiu was also a victim." ”

"So until now, you're still speaking for him." Xu Ruo smiled bitterly, especially after seeing that Zhong Qing did not deny it, the sadness in his heart spread even more.

"You still like him, don't you?"

Zhong Qing pursed her lips, this time, she was not silent or denied, but looked directly into Xu Ruo's eyes and said seriously: "Yes, I like Gu Xiu, from three years ago to now, I have not forgotten him, I have always loved him." ”

She just didn't dare to get close to him anymore, because she didn't want to hurt him anymore, and she didn't dare to say that she liked it easily, for fear that the nightmare of the past would be staged again.

In the final analysis, Zhong Qing still lacks the last courage.

Xu Ruo looked at the stubborn Zhong Qing, this was exactly what he liked her the most, even if her words were like poison slowly ending his breathing, he was willing to look at her like this all the time.

"I see." Xu Ruo smiled: "I owe you an apology, Zhong Qing, I'm sorry." ”

"The earliest thing to apologize for is that, just like Xu Zhiyan said, if it weren't for me, Gu Zihan wouldn't have broken your leg."

Whether it was Xu Ruo's later deception or Xu Zhiyan's threat, if Zhong Qing had been wary of Gu Zihan at the beginning, things would not have turned out like this, she could blame Xu Ruo, but she should blame herself even more.

"Will you forgive me?"

Zhong Qing didn't know how to answer him, so he had to say, "At least not now." ”

Xu Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he would hear Zhong Qing say the kind of words that he would never forgive in his life.

If Zhong Qing will not forgive Xu Ruo in her life, then the first person she will not forgive is her original self. originally thought that many things would change after being reborn, but in the end, God still gave her a test that was more uncomfortable than death.

Xu Ruo stood up, he opened his arms uneasily, probably afraid that Zhong Qing would refuse, he hesitated and hugged her gently.

"This time, I'll try to let go of loving you."

Before Zhong Qing could speak, he suddenly heard the sound of applause from the second floor of the café, followed by Gu Xiu's voice:

"Signing up my shop with great fanfare, and staging this scene with my assistant, why, is it popular to hug in cafes now?"

Gu Xiu walked down the stairs, and the sound of leather shoes stepping on the floor was very abrupt in the empty café, until Gu Xiu stood in front of Xu Ruo, he raised his eyebrows and found that Xu Ruo had already stood up.

"Are you celebrating?" Gu Xiu sneered: "For your legs that have long been recovered? There's a saying that says it, self-deception, right? Or is it too thick-skinned, taking advantage of other people's guilt about you and pretending to be disabled for three years? ”

Xu Ruo pursed her lips, although Gu Xiu's ridicule was ugly, it was a fact, Zhong Qing didn't say a word too radically in front of Xu Ruo just now, and Gu Xiu didn't go first but said it for her.

However, in these words that Gu Xiu said, Xu Ruo actually heard a little jealousy. He turned his head to look at Zhong Qing uncertainly, the latter's expression was a little embarrassed, but he seemed to be still a little blushing?

Does Gu Xiu also have feelings for Zhong Qing? Does Zhong Qing already know? Xu Ruo couldn't bear to take his eyes off Zhong Qing's face, because he always had a premonition that this was the last time they would meet.

Xu Ruo looked at Gu Xiu, who was angry with Zhong Qing's appearance, he smiled and blocked in front of Zhong Qing, pointed in the direction of the door and said to Xu Ruo: "I want to ask you to leave in a polite way, so I only say one word to you: Get out!" ”
