Zhong Qing was silent for a long time, and her expression relaxed a little until the barbecue on the charcoal grill had been blackened. Picked up the chopsticks again and took down the pasted barbecue, and put a new barbecue on it, Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing who was doing these things, and didn't know what she meant for a while.

He thought that Zhong Qing would go to Gu Xiu after knowing about that matter, or that she was not in the mood to continue eating barbecue at all, Xu Ruodu was already mentally prepared.

"My sister's Gu Xiu's marriage that day was a game that my sister, my father and Uncle Gu had done in advance, Gu Xiu didn't know about it, the reason why he went on stage to play a trick with his sister was because Uncle Gu threatened him with his mother, and Gu Xiu could only agree."

Telling the truth of the matter was also a relief for Xu Ruo, he knew that Zhong Qing cared about Gu Xiu, and it was even possible that after he said these words, Zhong Qing would get up and leave and throw himself into Gu Xiu's arms.

But Zhong Qing not only did not leave, but indifferently turned the barbecue over, Xu Ruo looked at her face, as if waiting for her to speak.

When the meat was cooked, Zhong Qing put the meat on Xu Ruo's plate, and she sighed.

"You tell me this, in fact, I know everything." Zhong Qing said: "Xu Zhiyan met me before, and she admitted that she did it. And what happened to Gu Xiu today, I guessed that it wouldn't be so coincidental. ”

Xu Ruo looked at the barbecue on the plate and couldn't swallow it for a while.

"You ......"

"So what can I do?" The corners of Zhong Qing's mouth pulled up a smile that was uglier than crying: "Even if I know the truth of the matter, what can I change?" Gu Xiu and I ...... There was no possibility of being together in the first place. ”

In fact, it's not just Gu Xiu, Zhong Qing feels that she will not be loved by anyone in her life, because she is not worth it, and her sense of insecurity and fear of love after rebirth can only make her go to the loneliness of being alone, no one will accompany her, and no one will accompany her.

Xu Ruo looked at Zhong Qing, who had a very lonely expression, and immediately raised his hand and grabbed her wrist.

"Zhong Qing, you're fine." Xu Ruodao: "No matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side and support you, so please don't give up ......"

Xu Ruo's serious appearance made Zhong Qing laugh out loud.

"Why are you so serious?" Zhong Qing pulled out his wrist without moving, and then said to Xu Ruo: "You are my good friend, of course we have to support each other!" Okay, okay, let's not talk about it for now, and then the meat is going to be mushy again, so you can eat it quickly. ”

Zhong Qing was obviously avoiding this topic, Xu Ruo thoughtfully did not continue, he took the barbecue clip in Zhong Qing's hand and took on the work, watching Zhong Qing eat a bite of barbecue and squint his eyes with a smile, Xu Ruo felt very satisfied.

As long as he can be by her side like this, Xu Ruo secretly swore in his heart that he was willing to protect Zhong Qing forever and make her happy, even if it was not himself who would hold hands with Zhong Qing in the future.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo returned to the hotel, and after saying goodnight, the two returned to their respective rooms. In the room where the lights were not turned on, Zhong Qing took off her shoes and threw herself on the bed, her brain half tired and half tangled.

After running outside for a few days, he finally signed a cooperation agreement with the factory, Zhong Qing remembered the number signed on the contract and the explanation given to him by the factory director, as well as Gu Xiu who appeared in the factory......

Why would he help himself? Doesn't he understand what he said? Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu, how are you going to torture me?

Zhong Qing curled up on the bed, the darkness of the night covered her sadness, it could make her cry unabashedly, she was in pain, she was sad, she was sad, all because of her cowardice.

I didn't dare to admit my feelings for Gu Xiu, let alone accept Gu Xiu's kindness to me.

Zhong Qing was scared, she was really scared, every picture that happened before her rebirth was in her mind, betrayal, despair, hysteria...... This used to be a true portrayal of her life, and if everything had to be done all over again, she didn't know if she could bear it.

What made Zhong Qing even more uneasy was that Gu Xiu seemed to see through her uneasiness and cowardice, so he chose to treat himself in the most humble way, even if he hurt him again and again. Gu Xiu's powerful self-healing ability seemed to make up for Zhong Qing's lack of feelings, he was like light, trying to illuminate Zhong Qing's darkness.

But Zhong Qing is not only in the darkness, but also in the quagmire of nightmares.

The strength of the appearance is to hide the inner uneasiness, every day after the rebirth, Zhong Qing has been trembling, since the first counterattack against Gu Zihan and Zhong Nian, Zhong Qing has been walking this road of self-protection, she did not rely on others, let alone dare to trust anyone casually.

It's just that such persistence is really too tiring?

In the dark, a figure slowly approached the bed, Zhong Qing felt that something was wrong and opened her eyes, Gu Xiu had already pressed her whole body.

"You!" Zhong Qing quickly calmed down: "How did you get in?" ”

Gu Xiu's hands pressed Zhong Qing's arm, his face was only a dozen centimeters away from Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing could smell the smell of his body, different from before, Gu Xiu's breath had a heavy smell of smoke and alcohol.

"Zhong Qing ......"

Gu Xiu's eyes were a little dazed, he looked at the woman under him and felt like he was dreaming, Zhong Qing was waiting for him to continue, but when Gu Xiu spoke again, he still said:

"Zhong Qing ......"

"Zhong Qing ......"

"Gu Xiu." Zhong Qing said: "Are you drunk?" ”

Drunk? Maybe. Although Gu Xiu's alcohol consumption had been trained very well during the three years he had managed Tianqi, today he only drank two glasses of foreign wine, and he felt that his consciousness and actions were out of control.

People who are sad are more likely to get drunk, and drunk people are not responsible for what they have done. Gu Xiu leaned down and hugged the woman under him, his strength was so great that Zhong Qing, who wanted to strangle his two arms with iron bars, couldn't breathe.

"Gu Xiu! Gu Xiu, let it go! Zhong Qing pushed Gu Xiu, but her strength was not worth mentioning at all in front of Gu Xiu.

After more than twenty minutes, Zhong Qing let go of his hand out of breath, and Gu Xiu had fallen asleep in this position.

Zhong Qing stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, patted Gu Xiu and tried to wake him up, but in vain.

"Gu Xiu, you're really drunk, right?"

After Zhong Qing said this, she waited for a while, but Gu Xiu didn't respond, and she put her mind at ease.

"So what I said today, you won't hear or remember, will you?"

Gu Xiu pressed on Zhong Qing's body and slept soundly with his eyes closed.

"Actually, I like you too...... Gu Xiu. Zhong Qing's voice trembled when she said these words: "I don't know what's wrong with me, Gu Xiu, I found that I feel for you, I, I'm used to having you by my side." ”

"Seeing you and Xu Zhiyan kissing, even if I know that it wasn't from your intention, I'm jealous."

"Gu Xiu, I asked you why you like me, in fact, I also asked myself why I like you. Later, I learned that there were no answers to those two questions, and liking is liking, Gu Xiu...... I like you. ”

Zhong Qing said as she spoke, her eyes were red, she knew that she would only dare to say these sincere words when Gu Xiu was drunk and couldn't hear them, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable to hold them in her heart all the time.

The trembling arm was slowly raised, Zhong Qing hugged Gu Xiu, she desperately tilted her head to prevent tears from falling on Gu Xiu's body, and the hand on Gu Xiu's body was taken away like an electric shock, she was afraid that she would be reluctant.

"You said you wouldn't force me, you said you would wait for me, but Gu Xiu, I'm really not worth your wait, I'm ...... A lot has happened, and you're right, I'm scared, not scared to be with you, but scared that I'm going to fall in love with someone. ”

"Even if it's you, Gu Xiu...... No, it doesn't. ”

"So I beg you, don't like me anymore, I'm really afraid that one day I'll lose control of my ......"

Gu Xiu's even breathing sounded, Zhong Qing closed her eyes in pain, after saying these words, she seemed to have recovered from a serious illness, and the whole person felt a lot more relaxed.

After a few more minutes, Gu Xiu unconsciously turned over and lay down next to Zhong Qing, Zhong Qing, who was missing Gu Xiu's arms, felt a cold wind blowing, she immediately sat up from the bed, hugged her trembling arms, and turned around to go to the bathroom.

After the sound of the shower sounded, Gu Xiu on the bed slowly opened his eyes, he touched the position of his shoulder, it was damp, and it was all Zhong Qing's tears.

She was really scared, Gu Xiu looked at the direction of the bathroom complicatedly, he wanted to rush in desperately and hold Zhong Qing in his arms, telling her that everything has its own, and he would not let her be hurt in any way.

But as Zhong Qing said, has her existence caused her harm? Gu Xiu sighed slightly, when he heard Zhong Qing admit that he liked himself, his heart flew up excitedly, but when he heard what Zhong Qing said later, his heart fell into hell again.

If you want to love or not, you can't say if you want to say it, this kind of feeling Gu Xiu had before, he tried to understand Zhong Qing's feelings, but in this case, he didn't know how to solve it.

More than twenty minutes later, Zhong Qing, who had finished taking a shower, came out of the bathroom, looking at Gu Xiu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she silently packed her luggage and opened another room.

Thinking that the secret that was hidden was very good, Zhong Qing remembered the way Gu Xiu called his name over and over again before he fell asleep, at that time he seemed to have no autonomous consciousness, and calling his name was because he was subconsciously himself?

The darkness was silently tearing at the souls of the two people, Gu Xiu who was pretending to be asleep in this room, and Zhong Qing who was insomnia in the next room, they were all people who used to be desperate for their dreams and everything they wanted, but the reality brutally suppressed their hopes, and fate took away their most important thing step by step.

Only love is the reason for them to persevere, and only love warms their hearts that they think have cooled down a long time ago.
