On the bustling streets, whether it was cars speeding by or pedestrians passing by in a hurry, Xu Ruo couldn't hear any sound from them, Zhong Qing stood in front of him, looking at him with an injured expression that he had never seen in his life, and at that moment, Xu Ruo felt that his sin was unforgivable.

Xu Ruo's hard smile was very reluctant: "You, what are you talking about?" ”

"Ten million, let him hide it for you, right? Xu Ruo, your leg can be healed, right? Zhong Qing took a deep breath and said, "After sitting in a wheelchair for three years, do you feel good?" ”

Xu Ruo held the armrest of the wheelchair with both hands, and he said in a deep voice, "Did Gu Xiu tell you something?" ”

"Are you changing the subject? Or do you not want to admit it at all? Zhong Qing knows Xu Ruo too well, just like Xu Ruo understands him, Xu Ruo is like this from lying, he is uneasy.

Zhong Qing felt like she was spinning, and if it weren't for the only reason supporting her, she might faint here. The most believing friend deceived her for three years, and in the past three years, Xu Ruo knew that her heart was tormented every day, and self-blame and pain repeatedly burned her soul, but he still chose to hide the truth.

Today, it doesn't matter why it doesn't matter anymore, Zhong Qing took a deep breath, turned around and left without saying anything.

For a moment, Xu Ruo wanted to impulsively stand up and grab her, but Fang Zuo pressed his shoulder behind the wheelchair, and Gu Xiu's men kept following them.

"Mr. Xu, let's go back first."

Xu Ruo gritted his back molars and looked at Zhong Qing's back as he staggered away, and the sadness in his heart spread wildly.

The lie was destined to be punctured from the day it was spoken, Xu Ruo had imagined countless scenes after Zhong Qing knew the truth, but when it really happened, it still made Xu Ruo so painful that it was difficult to accept.

It was his fault, he thought he was clever and deceived Zhong Qing with the worst lies, he took advantage of her guilt and tied her to his side, he thought that the relationship between the two of them day and night could move Zhong Qing, but the reality was that Zhong Qing was not only not moved, but left disappointed after knowing the truth.

"Fang Zuo, did I do something wrong?"

On the way back, Xu Ruo spoke blankly.

Fang Zuo said slowly: "Since this is your decision, you already know whether this is right or wrong. ”

Yes, as early as after telling that lie, Xu Ruo knew that he was wrong to do so, especially when he saw Zhong Qing gritting his teeth and crying silently in the corner countless times, he was also uncomfortable.

"Will she forgive me?"

"You should know."

Yes, Xu Ruo knew this answer, he asked Fang Zuo just to ask for a hopeful answer to reassure himself, but the reality was cruel, and he might never get Zhong Qing's forgiveness.

On the other side, Zhong Qing walked all the way back to the Zhong Group, her feet in high heels were unconscious, and it wasn't until she sat on the chair that she felt the pain coming from the soles of her feet.

Holding his forehead tiredly, Zhong Qing glanced at Wei Lan, who was sleeping opposite, and gritted his teeth to prevent his tears from falling.

It was she who believed Xu Ruo at the beginning, it was she who had never doubted Xu Ruo's legs abroad all these years, it was she who thought that Xu Ruo would not lie to her, everything was her "thought", everything was that she was too stupid.

Zhong Qing turned her back to the table, looking at the cityscape outside the floor-to-ceiling window, her crying ugly face was reflected on the glass, and she cried even more when she wiped her tears.

A tissue was handed to her, and Zhong Qing took it without thinking about it.

"You go back and pretend to be asleep, I'll just cry for a while." Zhong Qing pinched the tissue in his hand and said to Wei Lan behind him: "Don't tell Gu Xiu about this matter, I don't want him to think I'm a fool." ”

Another tissue was handed to Zhong Qing, who burst into tears.

"Do you think I'm a fool too? Believe him so much? I thought Xu Ruo wouldn't lie to me......" Zhong Qing wiped away her tears: "It turns out that his leg has already healed, and I clearly saw his leg moving just now." ”

"What Gu Xiu said is true, he really pretended to be for three years, I'm really stupid."

Zhong Qing cried with pear blossoms and rain, very sad, the man behind him handed over another tissue, Zhong Qing blew his nose, his shoulders were trembling.

"Knowing that you are stupid and crying?" At this time, Gu Xiu's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and then there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from Wei Lan's work station not far away, Zhong Qing turned his head stiffly, just in time to see Gu Xiu put the paper drawer back on the table, looking at him condescendingly.

The tears that had not yet been wiped away made Gu Xiu frown, thinking that the reason why she was crying was because of Xu Ruo, Gu Xiu had a very uncomfortable feeling.

Wei Lan rubbed her ass and got up from the ground, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and said, "Second master? I'm not dreaming! When did you get back? ”

Gu Xiu gave himself half a month off before, but today it hasn't been a week yet, and he actually came back? Is it because I can't let go of my work or because I ...... Wei Lan looked at Zhong Qing, whose eyes were red, and she closed her mouth wisely and ran out.

Gu Xiu stood in front of Zhong Qing's workstation and looked at her with his hands on his chest: "Do you have anything to say?" ”

"Your guess is right." Zhong Qing lowered her head and said in a muffled voice.

"What else?"

Zhong Qing gritted her teeth: "I'm sorry." ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Qing raised her head and looked at Gu Xiu with tears in her eyes: "Are you finished?" I said you were right, and you want me to say something! ”

Gu Xiu bent down, propped his hands on the table, and his face suddenly approached Zhong Qing, who shrunk his neck and was startled.

"Back then, you gave up the studio and brand you worked so hard to create, gave up your dreams and pursuits, and for a Xu Ruo, you cut off contact with everyone, and now you not only lost your trust in him, but also achieved nothing in your career, is this your pursuit?"

Gu Xiu's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Zhong Qing's head, she gave up her pursuit in order to take care of Xu Ruo, and now it seems not only stupid, but also ridiculous.

"At no time should you give up something important, at least what's important to you." Gu Xiu said in Zhong Qing's ear: "You never know what will happen in the future, what you can do is to grasp everything you have now." ”

Zhong Qing's nose was sour, and she said, "Among the important things...... Are there important people too? ”

Gu Xiu knew what she was talking about.

"If you lose an important person, will you find it one day?" Zhong Qing's hand clenched into a fist unconsciously, she didn't know how she could say such a thing, impulsively ran before reason, and the words she asked subconsciously were actually the things she cared about the most in her heart and dared not speak.

When she realized what she had said, she kicked away her chair in a panic and went to work as if nothing had happened, Gu Xiu didn't say anything, straightened up and walked back to the office.

Zhong Qing's forehead rested against the elevator door, remembering what he had just asked, it was really ridiculous.

Back then, it was himself who said that he and Gu Xiu did not owe anything, and after returning to China, it was himself who said that he had never loved him, and just now, the person who said that was also himself.

Reason told Zhong Qing that she and Gu Xiu would not be together, but a certain voice in his heart was roaring that was not enough, what Gu Xiu said when he was drunk that night in the Maldives, did it also prove that he still cared about himself?

Zhong Qing didn't dare to confirm it, and he didn't dare to believe it.

But as Gu Xiu said, she once left City A to go to another country in order to atone for her sins, and gave up the career she once loved the most, that decision was really stupid. But at this point, how can she have room for redemption?

"Ding."

The elevator door opened, Zhong Qing got ready to work, but suddenly saw a familiar figure-

"Chi Rui?" Zhong Qing called out the name uncertainly, and Chi Rui, who was not far away, turned around, although his temperament had changed a lot, he was really the first employee to apply after Zhong Qing founded the studio three years ago.

"Zhong Qing!" Chi Rui seemed to have seen some terrifying picture, took a few steps back, and then turned around and ran away, Zhong Qing chased after him in puzzlement, and found that outside the conspicuous work area on the eleventh floor, there was an isolated work area, Zhong Qing just walked in, and his two feet were nailed in place.

The decoration and layout of her office building were exactly the same, as if she had moved the entire studio, Zhong Qing thought that she had crossed over, and returned to the place where her dream began three years ago in an instant.

The familiar decoration of the table, from the floor to the tables and chairs to the decorations, is all handled by Zhong Qing herself, and the small work area in front of her is exactly the same as the one she arranged back then.

Mu Cheng made a cup of coffee, walked in with a little song, and was stunned the moment he saw Zhong Qing: "Zhong, Zhong Qing?" ”

Chi Rui, who was hiding behind the board, poked his head out and walked out helplessly.

Zhong Qing swallowed her saliva, completely forgetting what she was supposed to do, she looked at the two familiar faces and said, "You'd better tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Three years ago, you didn't say goodbye, the studio was difficult to maintain, Chi Rui and I originally wanted to look for jobs again, but we didn't expect Mr. Gu to contact us and say that he wanted to hire us to work here. When we came, we found out that it was so. Mu Cheng said: "Later, Chi Ruihui and I looked at the office building, only to find that everything here was moved back from the office building as it was, and even the position and angle of the table were exactly the same as before." Zhong Qing, you know why, right? ”

Zhong Qing opened her mouth and did not speak.

"Until now, there are only two people in the design department, me and Chi Rui, and your desk is still there. I heard that you were back a while ago, and Secretary Wei told us not to show our faces in front of you first, maybe Mr. Gu is not ready to explain this matter to you......"

Zhong Qing took two steps back and sat down in her chair, remembering what Gu Xiu had just said, she only felt her scalp tingle.

It turned out that he had done this a long time ago without knowing it.
