Volume 3 Seventy-Two Come Back, Okay? (Ending)
Led by the waiter, Ji Tong and I came to the table closest to the stage.
After we sat down, the waiter put the menu down and left.
"How? I specifically looked for this restaurant. There are also performances. "Ji Tong invited me to work.
I tugged at the corners of his mouth. This may be today's surprise. You see, I'll just say I don't want to have a birthday. This person, as long as he has expectations, is easily disappointed.
"We're pretty lucky. The seats next to the stage are not so easy to sit. After Ji Tong finished speaking, he flipped through the menu.
I didn't speak, just looked down and flipped through the menu.
"Luoluo, this steak is well done. You eat steak. β
"Hmm." I should be.
"Their desserts are good. You've got to have a good taste. β
"Hmm."
"How's the lemon tart?" He asked me. But before I could answer, he denied the choice for me.
"Not good." He said, "If lemons are not done well, they are sour and hurt the stomach." Or tiramisu. β
"Okay."
After speaking, Ji Tong called the waiter and ordered according to his idea just now.
There is a piano on the stage, and a handsome guy is playing melodious piano music.
Ji Tong raised his red wine glass: "Luoluo, happy birthday." β
I picked up my cup and touched it.
"Thank you."
The dishes were served quickly, the steak was as delicious as Ji Tong said before, and the dessert was indeed very good. The meal was generally not bad. If I hadn't been expecting something from him, maybe the food would have tasted better in my mouth.
After the dessert, the waiter placed a small plate with a bill on our table. Ji Tong put the money up.
"I'm going to the bathroom." He said to me.
I nodded.
Ji Tong smiled and got up to leave.
During the time I was waiting for him to come back, in order not to be so boring, I picked up my phone and swiped through the circle of friends.
βexcuse meγβ A female voice sounded next to her.
I looked up at her, stunned. The owner of the voice smiled at me like a flower.
"Lin Xi! Why are you here? I cried out in surprise.
"Of course, I'm here to celebrate your birthday." As she spoke, she sat down next to me, "It's not just me. β
"Is anyone else coming?" I'm stupid.
"And me." Mu Yi didn't know where he came from.
My mouth cracked unconsciously. It turns out that there was still a surprise on my birthday. It must have been Ji Tong who specially asked them to come.
"Didn't you say last time that you would let Lin Xi come alone?" I deliberately teased Mu Yi.
"Do you still have a conscience? I deliberately escaped from the crew to celebrate your birthday. Mu Yi complained dissatisfiedly.
I laughed and didn't say anything. Chi Linxi hit him.
"You're stupid! Luoluo is teasing you! Chi Linxi scolded.
Mu Yi smiled stupidly: "Oh." β
"Happy birthday, Luoluo." She said.
"Happy birthday." Mu Yi echoed.
"Thank you." I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
Looking at them, my nose ached. It was definitely the best birthday present I have ever received.
"Everyone." Ji Tong's voice came from the stereo.
I subconsciously looked around, looking for him.
Chi Linxi turned my face to the stage. And Ji Tong stood in the center of the stage, in the circle of light under the light.
"Today is my girlfriend's birthday, and I'm going to play a song for her as a birthday present." Ji Tong spoke in English.
With that, he walked over to the piano. The former pianist has left at an unknown time.
Ji Tong gently placed the microphone on the wheat rack, and put his slender fingers on the keys. The beautiful notes are connected to form a song "Dream Wedding".
I looked at him on the stage, and my heart was moved a little bit.
Chi Linxi looked at me from the side, with relief written in his eyes.
At the end of a song, Ji Tong took the microphone again, looked at me with loving eyes, and said in Chinese: "Luoluo, happy birthday." β
I smiled at him.
Chi Linxi stood up, took my hand and pulled me up from my seat. I looked at her suspiciously, and she just smiled at me and nodded, signaling that I was reassured. I looked at Mu Yi again, and he staggered his eyes, for some reason, it made me feel that he was weak.
Led by Chi Linxi, I came to the stage. Ji Tong also came to me.
"Luoluo, I like you. I want to protect you for the rest of my life, and I want to celebrate your birthday every year on this day. He looked at me and said affectionately.
I looked at him, realized something, and involuntarily began to panic.
Ji Tong knelt down on one knee at me, took out a diamond ring from his pocket, and handed it to me.
"Luoluo, will you marry me?"
The guests of the restaurant instantly understood what Ji Tong was talking about in Chinese, screamed, and said "marry him" in English.
I looked at the diamond ring and looked at the expectation in Ji Tong's eyes. I was completely panicked. I don't know if it's time to take the ring from his hand. A sense of resistance rose in my heart.
"I disagree!" A voice rang out as I struggled with my heart.
But the voice is all too familiar to me. It's the voice I haven't heard for the first time in three years, Lin Hao.
Instinctively, I quickly turned my head and looked for his presence in the crowd. I finally saw him at the door of the restaurant.
The moment I saw him, my heart calmed down. The longing for him that I had forced down before gushed out from the bottom of my heart like a flood that opened the floodgates. My hands clenched into fists, and I couldn't stop shaking.
Ji Tong looked at me in a panic, stood up from the ground, and blocked in front of me.
"What are you going to do!" Ji Tong questioned Lin Hao.
Chi Linxi looked at Mu Yi beside him reproachfully.
Mu Yi lowered his head and whispered, "He's so pitiful." β
After glaring at him, Chi Linxi continued to pay attention to the movements on our side.
Lin Hao looked at me behind Ji Tong, walked towards us step by step, and finally stood in front of us. I lowered my head and didn't look at him, and Ji Tong protected me behind me.
"Luoluo." Lin Hao called my name softly.
The kite in my temples sounded, and the string in my heart broke in an instant.
"I'm sorry." He said.
I clenched my fists hard, trying to control my trembling body. I know what he's talking about, but it's like I told Chi Linxi. He and I are in the past tense, and we will never go back.
Ji Tong looked at Lin Hao with hostility, but Lin Hao just kept looking at me behind him, as if Ji Tong was like air.
"It was all a misunderstanding. I want to explain to you, but I can't find you. Nothing happened to me and Zhong Qi, I promise. Lin Hao said in a humble voice.
Ji Tong glanced back at me and found that I was just biting my lip, bowing my head and saying nothing, and the previous panic in my eyes turned into worry.
"Do you remember Lin Nu? That childhood friend of yours. Lin Hao asked me.
I didn't answer, I don't know why he mentioned his name at this time.
"Do you remember what you promised him?" He asked me again, "You promised him when you were a kid that you would marry him when you grew up." Do you remember? β
I looked up. This matter is a secret between me and Lin Nu, and I have never told anyone, not even my parents. And how did he know?
"I am him. The forest girl you want to marry. Lin Hao said word by word.
I was completely stunned. Lin Hao stood there waiting for my reaction.
Ji Tong, Chi Linxi, and Mu Yi were also stunned by his words. Mu Yi asked Chi Linxi in a low voice: "Who is the forest girl?" β
After Chi Linxi pinched him, he was honest and stopped interjecting.
I pushed Ji Tong, who was blocking in front of me, to the side, so that I could face Lin Hao directly. Ji Tong frowned and looked at me in disbelief.
"Luoluo." He called out to me anxiously, but I didn't get a response.
"Impossible." I looked at Lin Hao.
Lin Hao looked at me and smiled slightly, bent down, and rolled up his trousers to reveal the scars on his legs.
Lin Hao stood up: "When I was a child, you pushed me to the ground for a cup of milk, and this is the result you left." β
I looked at the scar that was too familiar to be more familiar and was shocked. He is actually the forest girl I have been looking for for many years. But why didn't he tell me!
Lin Hao: "When I was a child, you were gone for ten years. It took me ten years to find you. This time, it was another three years for you to leave, and it took me three years to find you. I finally found you again, are you ready to leave me a third time? β
I lowered my eyes. He turned out to be a forest girl. He has been looking for me for so many years.
Lin Hao took a step forward and brought me closer to him, only twenty centimeters closer.
Lin Hao: "Come back, okay?" β
This one, "Come back, okay?" "Completely shattered my last line of defense. How humble his voice was! He's begging me to go back! Proud like Lin Hao should not have such a tone, nor should he have such a posture. He looked for me for three years. Now he even found me begging for me. How can you make me bear to refuse? How can you make me bear to reject the person I truly love in my heart?
I nodded at him with tears in my eyes.
Lin Hao laughed excitedly, as if he had finally relaxed, and hugged me tightly into his arms.
This long-lost embrace made me feel a sense of security and happiness that I hadn't felt in the past three years. I slowly wrapped my arms around him, leaned my head on Lin Hao's chest, and closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I remembered Ji Tong on the side. I pushed Lin Hao away and wanted to say sorry to Ji Tong, but I found that he was no longer here, leaving Chi Linxi and Mu Yi standing under the stage.
I looked at Lin Hao, my eyes full of worry and guilt for Ji Tong.
Today's marriage proposal was prepared by Ji Tong for so long. Instead, I accepted another man's apology at his long-awaited proposal.
A woman like me is not worthy of his love. He deserves better people, he deserves better love.
Looking at the door of the restaurant, I let out a long sigh.
I hope Ji Tong can be happy.
