Chapter 82: The Dark Storm Rises (1)
"Disappear?" Song Qinglian frowned, even more puzzled: "Nothing happened, this is so good, how can I disappear for no reason, haven't I been here all the time."
"Brother Cheng, have you encountered something, you have been very abnormal today. If you have anything, you can tell me, don't hide anything in your heart."
There was a look of anxiety in her eyes, obviously genuinely worried about him.
Lin Acheng looked at her eyes, looking at the shallow layer of autumn water that was circulating, and at this moment, there were thousands of ups and downs in her heart.
Hidden in your heart? How did she know that what was hidden in her heart was the affection for her that she wanted to tell but couldn't tell. The abnormality of his day was also caused by her.
All her care for him is just when he is a brother, and all his thoughts, she doesn't know after all.
Looking at her eyes, his heart jumped sharply, and after a few seconds of silence, he finally said with a little solemnity, "Qinglian, do you know, in fact, I ......."
Seeing the serious look in her eyes, he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, and did not express his feelings.
Song Qinglian asked him very seriously, "Actually, what is it, Brother Cheng?"
Actually, what? Actually, I like you, it's not my brother's love for my sister, nor the affection between my best friends, but the kind of love that makes my heart move.
However, you already have a heart, and you don't know my feelings for you after all.
Well, since you already have a heart, what's the point of me telling you this?
Zuo but I have more relief, and you who are so true and kind will only have an extra layer of unrighteous burden. I'm even more afraid that between you and me, even friends won't be able to do it in the future.
Since you have chosen him, then I will be like a brother in your mouth, as a brother, take care of the most important you in my heart.
My humble feelings will always be swallowed in my heart, and you will never know.
He finally swallowed the words that came to his mouth: "Actually, I'm just afraid that after you have someone you like, you won't care about my brother, so that's why I asked that."
"Well, so you're worried about this." Song Qinglian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and chuckled, "I thought something big had happened, but it turned out that you were worried about this."
"You can rest assured that in Qinglian's heart, Brother Ah Cheng will always be the most beloved brother. Even with Brother Xuan, Brother Ah Cheng is still an important person in Qinglian's heart. Brother Cheng, don't worry, your relationship with me is unlikely to change!"
She said with sincerity, and there was sincerity in her eyes. It can be seen that Lin Acheng is really regarded as a vital brother or close friend.
Since she has no chance to be the lover who accompanies her for life, it is enough to be the brother who is very important in her heart. At least, she has a place in her heart.
He swallowed the bitterness in his heart and replaced it with a happy smile, "In that case, then I have nothing to worry about."
Song Qing smiled: "There is nothing to worry about, Brother Ah Cheng, you are thinking too much about yourself."
Lin Acheng shook his head with a smile, with a bit of helpless self-deprecation at the corner of his mouth, "That's right, it's me who thinks too much. Since you knew this was the case, what else did you think about what you were doing?"
This sentence was said to her, and it was also said to herself. Since she knew that her heart would not belong to her, she still wanted to do these futile things, but she was just cocooning herself.
It's just that she doesn't understand, and she never will.
He looked at the sky, and saw that the night had sunk, and a few faint stars appeared on the horizon. He knew that he had been delayed by Song Qinglian for a long time, so he took a light breath and said to her, "Qinglian, it's not early, I should go back."
He paused, then raised his head again, his eyes were a little deep, and he said to her deeply, "Today, thank you for being with me."
Song Qinglian just nodded at him as usual, and smiled, "Well, Brother Cheng, go back and rest early."
"Well, I'll go back then." He said
He stood up and wanted to leave the small courtyard of the Song family.
Before closing the door, he glanced back at her again, and she was still smiling clearly, looking at herself, as usual, as before.
His heart was pricked by something, and he finally turned around, stepped out of her yard, and closed the door.
Turning his head, looking up at the dim night sky and sighing, at this moment, it is a heartfelt relief, but it is also helpless loneliness.
Finally, he slowly turned his head again, glanced at the courtyard gate of the Song family, and sighed softly.
It seems that through the iron gate, I saw the one in the courtyard.
And she, probably doesn't know anything, she doesn't know her own thoughts, and she doesn't know why she's sad. Perhaps, I would have gone back to the house and done my own thing.
In the end, a deep smile came out of the corner of his mouth, looked at the iron door, and only said, "That's it, as long as you are happy, I will be happy."
If you're happy, I'll be happy, and my mind will be buried in my heart forever.
Maybe it's fulfillment, it's relief.
After a moment of silence, he finally left the courtyard of the Song family and returned to his home.
King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no heart. Maybe unrequited love is so humble.
Since Yao Zhiyun saw Ming Jingxuan and Song Qinglian together that day, she has lost a lot of vitality and youth. For a long time, I like to meditate silently alone, and I don't have as much fun and fun as before.
On this day, Minghuitang was invited to the famous official eunuch Hu Jin Hu Yuanwai in the capital to sing at the church meeting.
The Hu family is a big family, Hu Jin is a famous businessman in the capital, and a church meeting naturally needs to be enough, so he invited the two most famous celebrities in Minghui Hall, Xuan Gongzi and Yao Xiaojiu.
Yao Zhiyun's play "Qin Huaijing" was arranged in front of Ming Jingxuan, and after she finished singing, she went back to the backstage to remove her makeup, leaving Ming Jingxuan to continue to play the Beijing rhyme drum in the lobby.
The backstage side hall is next door to the lobby, separated by a wall, through a pleated window, you can still clearly see and hear Ming Jingxuan's performance.
Yao Zhiyun listened to Ming Jingxuan's performance while wearing makeup, and her eyes were involuntarily attracted by Ming Jingxuan, and she involuntarily stopped removing her makeup.
Looking at the sixth senior brother like this, I felt uncomfortable in my heart.
The six senior brothers in the hall smiled and looked back, and they all had a full demeanor. This point has never changed since he arrived in Minghui Hall.
It is his excellence that makes him inextricably admired and liked him. It's just that now, he no longer belongs to himself, or rather, he has never belonged to himself, but he used to deceive himself, and now he has finally had an epiphany.
These days, he didn't take the initiative to talk to him, and he didn't take the initiative to pay attention to himself, he was still the same cold and indifferent. Maybe in his heart, he is just an ordinary existence with little importance.
Thinking like this, her eyes were involuntarily covered with a layer of tears, she pulled off the hairpin on her head, pressed it on the table, and hung her head weakly.
The hoarseness on the stage is just a melancholy that I can't touch in my life.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Yao, I was still looking for you just now."
Suddenly, she heard a rough voice coming from outside the door, and her thoughts were interrupted, and she immediately turned back in shock.
Seeing the man, she immediately stood up, lowered her head slightly, and said, "Hu Yuanwai."
That Hu Jin is a man who is over the age of ear shun, his sideburns have a slight gray color, and his figure is slightly fat.
I saw him walking towards Yao Zhiyun with a cigarette pouch, and a smell of wine rushed to his face, presumably drunk.
He slowly approached Yao Zhiyun, with interest in his eyes, and said slowly, "Miss Yao asked me to find it, what are you doing here?"
The smell of alcohol on his body unconsciously made Yao Zhiyun a little uncomfortable, so she dodged to the other side, not looking at him, "I'm removing makeup."
"Oh—
—" Hu Jin turned his head, prolonged his tone, and approached her again, "Then you take off your makeup slowly, I'm here to watch you remove your makeup."
Yao Zhiyun turned her head in surprise, presumably this Hu Jin must be drunk, so he would speak so upside down.
She didn't be tactful, "But the little girl will have to change her clothes in a while, and you are here, how can the little girl change her clothes?"
Hu Jin still didn't change his face, stared straight at Yao Zhiyun, and hummed in his mouth: "What's that, I look at you, you can also change it."
He took another step closer to Yao Zhiyun, an evil color flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his voice: "It's just right, you can let me take a good look at you."
"Huh?" Yao Zhiyun was suddenly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly took a few steps back in a panic, dodged him, and landed in the corner, her eyes full of defense.
This Hu Jin must have been drunk and lustful, there were only two of them in this small dressing room, and she didn't know what he would do to herself.
"Hey, hey, hey." Hu Jin smiled, approached Yao Zhiyun step by step, tilted his head sideways, and said slowly, "Miss Yao, don't be afraid, you are so beautiful, and you can sing well."
"I'm not a person who doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, how can I bear to hurt you, why are you so afraid."
"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, "I just heard that Miss Yao, your stage name is Yao Xiaojiu, I don't know, what is your real name?"
That Hu Jin was already fat, and standing in front of her like this, it was like a stone pier. She was so thin, and in the face of such a rugged Hu Jin, she didn't feel creepy, and her whole body was trembling.
She was afraid of what he would do, so she could only answer truthfully, "My name is Yao Zhiyun."
"Yao Zhiyun." Hu Jin smacked his lips and savored: "It's a good name, worthy of your appearance of the country and the city, so in the future, will I call you Xiao Yun?"
