163. Draw a line
"Erguang ......" Shen Ruochu looked at the person behind the courtyard gate in a daze, and suddenly a blank appeared in his mind inexplicably, not knowing what to do with him next.
Until Tan Jiahui chuckled lightly and laughed at himself slightly: "It seems that you don't welcome me very much." ”
"Nope!" She subconsciously blurted out a denial, and explained incoherently in a panic, "I didn't mean that, I was a little surprised that you came back suddenly...... I ......"
"I'm kidding!" He interrupted her with a smile, and then his gaze lingered twice over the closed courtyard door.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Shen Ruochu reacted suddenly. I didn't think of the aunt beside the envoy, and I went over to open the courtyard door for him with my stomach.
But Tan Jiahui didn't enter, looked at her outfit and asked, "Are you going out?" Is there something important? ”
"I ......" Shen Ruochu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and denied, "I don't matter." It's just idle, I want to go outside. "Instinctively, she was reluctant to reveal anything about the matter between herself and Jing Yan to him." Will you come in and sit down? Or are you in a hurry? Without waiting for the other party to answer, she had already turned her head to the nanny at home and ordered, "Aunt Shen, please go and make a pot of tea." Whatever the tea is, but not too strong. ”
Tan Jiahui was a little helpless, "You have made all the tea, can I not go in and sit?" As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression was slightly embarrassed, "I...... If I came here so recklessly, would Jing Yan be unhappy? ”
"No, it won't." Shen Ruochu smiled, "And he's not at home." ”
He nodded, not saying much. Then he changed the subject, "I brought you something, and I almost forgot about it." Then he turned and walked to his car, and pulled a number of boxes and pockets from the back seat. There were so many things that Shen Ruochu on the side was slightly surprised.
In addition, Tan Jiahui also brought a special gift today...... The delicate suede brocade box is the size of a 32-page book. He held the teacup to his mouth with one hand, put the box on the coffee table with the other, and pushed it in front of Shen Ruochu's eyes. Seeing her sitting there still, he urged: "This is for the baby, you open it and take a look." ”
"For the baby?" Shen Ruochu hesitated to pick up the box, and suddenly felt that her fingertips were heavy, and the heavy weight made her almost get out. When the lid of the box was opened, she was directly blinded.
There was nothing else in the box, a large gold brick in the yellow sky, shining.
"...... you" Shen Ruochu was dumbfounded, unable to recover from the shock for a long time, "You send gold bricks to the baby?!" ”
Tan Jiahui said "um", he didn't feel anything abnormal, "I went to Hong Kong when I came back." The gold there is better than in the mainland. At that time, I wanted to buy a piece of jewelry as a souvenir. It's a pity that I don't know if the baby is male or female, so I simply bought this. In the future, when the baby is born, you can change it into jewelry according to its gender. Or save it for it, even if gold is cheap, it will not be the price of cabbage. At the very least, it can hold its value. ”
Shen Ruochu heard his words, and his smile was a little weird, "You are really creative!" After speaking, he put the box back on the coffee table and put on a refusal attitude, "This is too expensive, I can't ask for it." ”
Tan Jiahui chuckled, as if he expected her not to accept it, "I'm for the baby, not for you." Even if you are its mother and guardian, you have no right to refuse it for it. ”
"You still know that I am the child's mother!" Shen Ruochu sneered lightly, "Before it has full civil capacity, I have the right to make decisions for it!" Anyway, I don't accept it now. Or do you wait until it turns 14 and then ask it if you want it yourself? ”
Tan Jiahui sighed lightly, seemingly helpless and frustrated, "At the beginning, until now, even if the two of us ...... Anyway, I'm your brother too. Do you have to refuse a little kindness to your nephew or niece? ”
Shen Ruochu was still embarrassed, "Erguang, it's not that I don't accept it." It's that your gift is too valuable. Otherwise, you change to a less expensive one, I promise not to refuse! ”
Tan Jiahui was silent. Leaned back, put his hands on his knees and squinted his eyes, and said unhurriedly after a while: "Chu Chu, do you know that Jing Yan usually has a lot of money when he opens a bottle of wine?" Converted into RMB, I spent less than 6 in total. For Jing Yan, it's just a piece of lip and tooth, you say it's expensive, but I, a poor lawyer, don't even think I can do it. Or do you think this gift is too light to be worthy of the future heir of Huajing Group? ”
"Erguang, how can you talk like that!" Shen Ruochu couldn't hear the weird tone of yin and yang in his tone, and suddenly became angry and aggrieved, "You know that I don't mean that!" You're purely deliberately angry with me today, aren't you! You ......" Before he finished speaking, he broke out of breath and suddenly had a stomachache.
"What's wrong with you?" Tan Jiahui saw that her brows were frowning, her face was not very good, and she was a little anxious. didn't care about anything else, bounced up directly from the single sofa, and reached her as quickly as possible, "Are you okay?" Does it matter? ”
"Don't touch me!" Shen Ruochu waved him away, holding his forehead with one hand and covering his stomach with the other, "You're angry with me!" You hurry away and take your stuff with you! "She doesn't have much taste of sincerity in what she says, but there are many angry ingredients.
But in Tan Jiahui's ears, he still couldn't help but feel a stab in his heart. His hand dangling in mid-air dropped and he sighed and distanced himself from her, "I'm sorry. Beginning ...... I ...... the words and I didn't know how to continue.
Shen Ruochu also eased up a lot at this time. With a sigh, she looked up at the person with a depressed face, and her heart was also mixed, "Erguang, actually...... Now, the two of us shouldn't have been in touch again. ”
Tan Jiahui was stunned, and then the bitter taste rose between his teeth and quickly spread to his chest. "Chuchu Chu...... Do you have to do this? After so many years, even if the two of us are not destined to stay together for a lifetime, do we have to be strangers? We can also be friends......"
"Do you think it's possible?" Shen Ruochu suddenly interrupted him, and his voice was slightly raised, "Tan Jiahui, do you think it's possible?" The two looked at each other, and she slowly stood up with her handrails, "Maybe it's possible." But by that time you had all your love, married and had children. But at that time, maybe the two of us really forgot about each other, and the former love was dissipated without a trace. Either way, it definitely won't be now. ”
Tan Jiahui's lips fanned slightly, wanting to argue, but he couldn't say a word after all. Because what Shen Ruochu said was right, not wrong at all!
Who said that you can't be a lover and be a friend, it's all fucking fart! can't be a lover with the person she likes, and watched her grow old with other men and have children for him. It's maddening just to think about.
Not to mention that time can kill everything. If it can really be consumed, it is that the love is not deep enough and not hard enough. At least until the end of his life, he will never forget her.
There's no other way, there's really no other way. Or hide far away, thinking alone and suffering alone. Either I have the courage to destroy everything, and I won't let anyone else get what I can't get.
But the latter ...... He obviously couldn't. As long as it would hurt Chu Chu, he would never do it. Even if it's just a little bit, he will never be able to forgive himself.
Tan Jiahui only felt that his whole heart was aching. He breathed softly and deeply, but he didn't want to be relieved of the pain before his beloved girl gave him another heavy blow......
"Erguang, later...... Don't get in touch anymore. ”
Tan Jiahui only heard a "buzz-" sound in his ears, and his brain went blank in the next second. It took him two or three minutes before he returned to reality in the transparent vacuum world, but he was still unbelievable, "Chuchu...... What did you just say? ”
I said...... The two of us don't have to contact each other in the future. Shen Ruochu repeated what he had just said, while turning his head away to prevent him from seeing the sparkle in his eyes. However, the trembling and choking in his voice couldn't hide it, "Erguang, in fact, even in the days when I divorced Jing Yan, I never thought of being with you. But the two of us are so familiar, you're right, we've been in a relationship for so many years......" she said in a hurry, a little incoherent, "and I've always treated you as a friend, just like when I was in school." I'm used to it...... I...... But...... But it's not the same at all! Nothing is the same anymore. I was wrong, in fact, I should have been decisive and cut off with you at that time. I apologize to you if I have caused you any illusion. But the two of us really don't contact each other in the future, so that it will be better for you, me and Jing Yan. You deserve to have your life, don't ......"
"Say no more!" Tan Jiahui finally couldn't listen anymore and interrupted her. His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of sadness and anxiety, "You have nothing to be sorry for me. Again, I like you willingly. You didn't remarry Jing Yan before, I have the right to pursue you. So even if you reject me clearly, I won't give up! At this, he paused slightly. He slowed for a few seconds before continuing: "Chuchu, I won't leave you. ”
"Tan Jiahui!" Shen Ruochu saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, and he was also a little irritable, "Why are you like this!" Unexpectedly, the other party opened his mouth and asked......
"Do you know Jing Yan?" Tan Jiahui's expression was solemn, and it was obvious that there was something in his words, "At the beginning, what you see with your eyes may not be true. Do you really know Jing Yan? Those sides you don't see. ”
"You...... What do you mean? Shen Ruochu looked at him in a daze, and his heart felt inexplicably unsettled, "Why do you say that." ”
Tan Jiahui hooked his lips dismally, without explaining too much, "I won't leave you at the beginning, at least not now." Whether the person who gives you happiness is me or not, I hope you are as good as you are. So, when you need my help, don't grit your teeth and hold on alone. With that, he turned and strode away.
