(forty-nine)
In a café with soothing classical music, Luo Cheng wears a bohemian dress and delicate light makeup, although it is not a beautiful embryo that captivates the country and the city, but it gives people a sense of freshness, like the cool wind of summer, blowing through the noisy green plants of cicadas. Liu Zhixi hurried to the appointment, and on the way here, she kept urging the taxi driver, as if the meeting was a little later, it would become a missed plot, and it seemed that this was an eternal goodbye, full of sadness and helplessness. When Liu Zhixi pushed open the door and saw Luo Tang still sitting by the window, her heart settled down a little.
"Tachibana, why are you leaving? Where are you going? Liu Zhixi asked Luo Tang with concern, the corners of Luo Tang's mouth turned up slightly, and he looked very happy, without the nervousness and anxiety of cheating being discovered. Zhixi, I don't plan to continue studying, and I don't want to beg the counselor to give me a lenient punishment," Luo Cheng said with a smile. "Don't read anymore? Are you crazy? So where are you going? What can you do? Liu Zhixi couldn't help but raise her voice because of the shock. I'm going to Guangzhou", Luo Cheng motioned for her to lower her tone, Liu Zhixi looked around, smiled embarrassedly, slowed down her speech, and lowered her tone. "Are you alone? Xiao Tang, Guangzhou is not so easy to break into, you are a girl, and you don't have a college diploma......"
"I'll go with her, Zhixi", Jiang Xiaohan's voice came from behind him, like a burst of thunder, breaking Liu Zhixi's calm heart. Luo Tang showed a shy expression, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom", she stood up gently, and when she got up, her palm was subconsciously placed on her lower abdomen. Liu Zhixi's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at the two of them in disbelief, looking at the two friends in front of her who she regarded as her best friend, but they deceived her and betrayed her like this.
"Zhixi, I'm sorry..."Jiang Xiaohan's handsome face had a cyan scum, and he looked a little more mature than before, and he also aged a little. Liu Zhixi suddenly felt distressed, and suddenly became enlightened, she didn't love Jiang Xiaohan in the first place, so why bother to give him ethereal hope and let him focus his energy and attention on himself? She can have someone she loves, and she has the right to pursue love, Jiang Xiaohan also has it. "Zhixi, Luo Tang is pregnant with my child, and in the future, I want to be a husband who can support the sky, and I will also be a father in charge. From now on, I want to love them with all my heart, but I will miss you every day..."
"Xiao Han, you're wrong..."Liu Zhixi interrupted him with a smile, "Yes, Zhixi, I know I was wrong, I broke your heart..."Jiang Xiaohan stared at her. "No, you don't think of me every day, you have to always keep Xiaotang and the child in your heart and shelter them from the wind and rain, this is the most correct thing. I'm just a friend, you don't feel guilty, you don't feel ashamed of me, you don't have a little orange, you should all be brave enough to pursue your ideal life. I wish you a brilliant and new life in Guangzhou, and as for the past, don't be entangled anymore and be forever sealed in your memories. Of course, we are best friends, we were, we are, and we always will be. “
Liu Zhixi didn't wait for Luo Cheng to come out of the bathroom, she put on her backpack and walked out of the café with light steps. The sun outside was hot and dazzling, she took out her sunglasses, and soon the dazzling colors of the world dimmed, and her eyes felt very comfortable. She unconsciously hummed a song softly, it was "I Wish You a Happy Journey" by Wu Qilong of the Little Tigers. On the bus back, Liu Zhixi browsed the circle of friends, she saw two familiar faces, smiling and snuggling tightly together, and there were five big words below - "We are officially announced", with a background of love, and an illustration of red roses. Luo Tang and Jiang Xiaohan are together, they are in the circle of friends, and they have released the news of being together, and the blessings are constantly ringing for a while.
Liu Zhixi suddenly had a feeling that things were wrong, and the bits and pieces where she and Jiang Xiaohan were together, from the invisible corners of memory, grew long vines wantonly, surrounding and wrapping her heart. She once thought that she was only willing to get close to Jiang Xiaohan because he looked like Leng Jiang. However, it turned out that she was wrong, even if she was instantly relieved just now, but at this moment, her heart was so painful, like the sequelae of a person who is drunk, because he had to wake up after the paralysis of alcohol, and like a man who fell into the water, he grabbed the straw that saved his life, but this straw also became the last straw that overwhelmed him after he went ashore.
Her tears, held in her heart, were like a closed floodgate, not a drop could come out, and her face turned red. She opened the car window, the hot wind blew across her face, and an old man in a long-sleeved shirt next to her coughed violently, she suddenly remembered her father, Liu Zhixi's heart, suddenly rose a sense of happiness, yes, she still has her father, she wants to go back to the hospital quickly, stay with her father, and cry on his shoulder.
"Daddy!" Back at the hospital, his father was leaning on the windowsill reading a book, the golden sunlight hitting his age-spotted face, Liu Zhixi felt that he looked like a gold-plated statue. However, she immediately rejected her metaphor, and she wanted a healthy living father, not a lifeless, lifeless statue.
"Dad, what are you reading?" Liu Zhixi's heart was suddenly injected with fresh energy. "The Feud of Monte Cristo" by the French writer Alexandre Dumas", the father smiled lovingly. "Oh, this book has been adapted into the American drama Revenge, and my roommate used to chase this drama in the dormitory", at the end of the words, she unconsciously remembered Luo Tang, and tears suddenly filled her eyes, and she was about to come out.
"Wanchen, have you encountered something unhappy? Your mom is pushing you again? The father's expression was solemn, and he looked at Liu Zhixi worriedly. Dad, no, but I just think, why do the people around me always have to say goodbye to me in a sad way? "At the bottom of Liu Zhixi's heart, grievances and disappointments are all dressed up and fought in her heart." Wanchen, to forgive others is to let yourself go. No one can accompany you for a lifetime, so you must be self-reliant and strong, because the girl's sense of security is actually given by herself. If you put your hope in others, you will only end up disappointed again and again", my father put down his reading glasses and said with great comfort.
In the air-conditioned Golden Horn Restaurant, Liu Zhixi sat opposite Wen Li and Shi Yue. Shi Yue was admitted to a university in Shanghai, and Wen Li smiled. The familiar Golden Horn Restaurant, although it is different from the one in Chencheng that Su Huai often took Liu Zhixi to before, is very similar in decoration and style. Under Wenli's tutelage, Shi Yue skillfully used knives and forks, and the table manners were also very good, polite and personable, like a well-educated little gentleman.
Wen Li squinted her eyes slightly, but the light in her eyes was full of charm, she elegantly picked up the red wine glass, shook the mellow liquid in the glass lightly, and happily raised her glasses to touch, "Let's celebrate the title of Shiyue Gold List together, the future is limitless!" Although Liu Zhixi dislikes Wenli, she does not hate this half-brother, and even, she has a sympathetic sympathy, they both have crippled childhoods, but she thinks she is luckier than him, because she has a grandmother who works hard for her wholeheartedly and is not related by blood.
Hot beads of sweat dripped on Liu Zhixi's face, Liu Zhixi struggled to open her eyes from her hazy sleep, and she saw Lei Yu and Wen Li locked the door and left. Lei Yu's eyes were red, like a crazy little beast, he used his strong arms to hold her rudely, Liu Zhixi beat him desperately, but he hugged her tighter and threw her the bed covered with heart-shaped rose petals in the hotel.
Lei Yu gasped, didn't even press the switch of the electric curtain, but eagerly closed the curtain manually, and the room suddenly became dark, only to hear Liu Zhixi's helpless cry for help. Lei Yu couldn't wait to take off his clothes, revealing his strong muscles, and then pressed Liu Zhixi to the bed and forcibly tore her long skirt. Liu Zhixi screamed in horror, Lei Yu's violent kiss rained down on her forehead, lips and ears, and she struggled to resist, swearing to die.
Suddenly, the door was forcibly opened by an external force, Shi Yue broke into the door, and he slammed a heavy fist on Lei Yu's head, and bright red blood immediately oozed from his forehead. "Are you crazy?" Seeing that it was Shi Yue, Lei Yu angrily reprimanded. "I'm not crazy, you're crazy. Let go of my sister, or I'll send you to the Public Security Bureau", Shi Yue replied in a loud voice. "Your family's business, without my care, is waiting to go bankrupt!" Lei Yu was disrespectful. "We only do business honestly, Tong Su is not bullied, but we will never do the skin and meat business", Shi Yue stepped forward to help Liu Zhixi, who was panicked, and Liu Zhixi hurriedly tidied up her dress, but fortunately, Shi Yue came in time and did not cause substantial damage.
Shi Yue helped Liu Zhixi out of the hotel, "Sister, I'm sorry, you have been offended", Shi Yue's eyes were full of tears, Liu Zhixi was shocked, she was silent and did not take Shi Yue's conversation. She knew that this must have been done by Wen Li, and after drinking the glass of red wine, she began to lose consciousness and walk precariously.
Wenli pretended to deceive Shi Yue, falsely claiming that Liu Zhixi was drunk and wanted to send her to a hotel to rest. Liu Zhixi's back was cold, she never expected that her closest relative, her mother, who was related by blood, would set a trap for personal interests and push her into the fire pit alive.
In the past 20 years, she has suffered from others and tasted the evil of the world, but no one has calculated her so insidiously and viciously. Although she has met Jia Xin, Wu Li, and He Ying, they have not yet wanted to take away the chastity that she values more than life.
Yes, Liu Zhixi values chastity so much, although it is now a new century of openness, and the public has become accustomed to premarital sex, but Liu Zhixi still guards her most precious thing, not conservative, not stubborn, chasing the root of it, because her mother was called "little three", and left a shadow.
"Sister, don't worry, I will never let such a thing happen again. In the future, I will protect you well", Shi Yue said sincerely, a pair of cool eyes, like an ancient well without echoes. Liu Zhixi came back to her senses, only to feel that ten thousand arrows pierced her heart, and when she heard Shi Yue say this, it was like a grass boat crossing the riverside.
"Shi Yue, sister doesn't blame you, without you saving you in time, the consequences will be unimaginable, and my sister's innocence will be ruined all my life. Sister thanks you, but sister hates her mother, and she can't forgive her in this life. Don't tell me, she was forced to make this decision when she was at a dead end. In this world, there are many people who have a harder life than her, but the vast majority of people abide by the law and have good thoughts, and they will not harm their own flesh and blood. Tiger poison does not eat children, Wenli's ambition and superior means are really more terrifying than the flood beast", Liu Zhixi stroked her messy hair, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged Shi Yue, "Shi Yue, our sister and brother are love, and it is also fate." Sister wishes you a bright future and a bright future, but the love between our sister and brother has ended here. I won't go back to that home, I won't call her mom again, that home, all that's left is the inconsistencies and the smell of copper. Goodbye, farewell, you take good care of the two of them, after all, they are your flesh and blood. From now on, don't contact again, we are strangers", the blazing sunlight cast on Liu Zhixi's tear-stained face, she smiled slightly, turned around and left briskly, never looking back.
