Chapter Ninety-Eight: Complicating the Relationship

The warmth in Duan Jin Cheng's eyes gradually turned into heat, Chen Qingwu didn't dare to look directly, and turned his head to avoid his gaze.

"There's going to be that one." She said sincerely.

Duan Jin Cheng moved towards her a little and put his arm next to her: "Can't this person be you?"

Chen Qingwu subconsciously bounced away: "Duan Jincheng, what are you talking about, I remember I told you that I have someone I like."

"Are you together now?"

"Together." Chen Qingwu lied without changing his face.

She thought that Duan Jin became a dignified actor, no matter how good he was, he would not be a male junior for love.

Duan Jin Cheng chuckled, "At least match your lines with others before you lie."

"I'm not lying."

"Again, I didn't lie!"

Chen Qingwu suddenly lacked confidence, Duan Jin Cheng's determined look gave her every reason to suspect that Zheng Sizhe had sold her, she could even calculate the time, if she guessed correctly, it should have been after she fainted in the rain, because it was from that day that Duan Jin Cheng's attitude towards her had a sense of relaxation.

Originally, "there is someone she likes" is the excuse she came up with in a hurry, a temporary expedient measure, it is a temporary way to deceive for a while, but now that she can't be deceived, Chen Qingwu didn't try to go back again, and gave up struggling directly.

"Why am I lying, have you thought about it?"

"I haven't thought about it, and I won't think about it." Duan Jin became a Taoist.

He blocked what Chen Qingwu was going to say next in one sentence, but Chen Qingwu didn't care, he still had to continue: "If you haven't thought about it, I'll tell you directly, because I don't want to have anything to do with you other than my old classmates, I think it's good that we're like this now, I don't want to complicate the relationship."

"Why?" He leaned over and faced her, "You dare say you don't feel anything about me right now?"

His clothes were stained with the scent of bergamot in the car, and when he got closer, the smell seemed to coax her to indulge.

Chen Qingwu's cheeks were hot.

She didn't dare to look him in the eyes, but stared at the mole on his Adam's apple, and murmured, "You don't have to pluck a flower if you like it, you don't have to let it stay if you like a gust of wind."

"Then what if the flowers must fall at your feet, or if the wind must come to you?" His tone was soft and firm.

"Do you know me? Do you know what I've been through in the last 10 years?"

"I can take my time to understand, you can tell me slowly."

"I don't, I just want to look forward now, I don't want to spend time reminiscing about the past."

"Then let the past pass, and I will go forward with you."

"Duan Jincheng." Chen Qingwu reached out and grabbed him, pushing him away from his eyes, "Why does it have to be me?"

She doesn't understand, there are so many things in the entertainment industry that are sinking fish and geese, the appearance of the country and the city, the fair lady, the small jasper, the hibiscus out of the water, the sexy stunner, so many choices, why does she have to be mediocre?

Duan Jin Cheng was not annoyed when she pushed him away, he even calmly picked up the teacup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea after sitting upright.

"Instead of asking me why, ask yourself why I had to throw 50 dollars under the barbecue stand."

Chen Qingwu looked at him silently, he didn't know who he was going to see today, white shirt, well-cut black trousers, dressed more formally than usual, this mature posture was far from the image of the young man back then, but when she heard his words, Duan Jin Cheng's appearance easily flashed in her mind.

"You don't want to say that you already liked me before the barbecue stand, right?"

"Yes."

"Still like me after all these years?"

"Yes."

Chen Qingwu obviously didn't believe it.

In this world where the road is far away and the road is urgent, how can one person love another person for so many years? Even she didn't dare to say with certainty that she had been single for so many years because of Duan Jincheng, not to mention that she was still Duan Jincheng in the colorful entertainment circle.

Chen Qingwu sneered lightly: "Emperor Duan is inevitably too affectionate, right?"

Should I praise you for your performance?"

"Whether it's acting or not, you'll find out slowly." He didn't bother with her, nor did he force her to accept his confession, he knew that she needed time to accept herself slowly, "Let's go, I'll send you back today."

---

On the way back to the hotel, neither of them spoke.

The car stopped at the door of the hotel, and Chen Qingwu got out of the car first.

The elevator was still on the thirteenth floor, and Chen Qingwu waited for the elevator to be impetuous, for fear that Duan Jin Cheng would follow up if he was a little slower, and said something that disturbed her mood, but he didn't, he should have wanted to leave her enough time and space to calm down.

Finally the elevator reached the first floor, Chen Qingwu walked in quickly, and the door was about to close, when he saw a hand slashing in.

"Wait a minute!"

It's Zheng Sizhe.

Chen Qingwu stretched out his hand and pressed the elevator door button twice.

Zheng Sizhe was carrying a takeaway bag, big pants, and flip-flops, which was completely inconsistent with his usual image of Qingjun, but Chen Qingwu knew that he was actually such an informal person in private.

"Qingwu, where have you been today? I went to your room in the afternoon to ring the doorbell, and I didn't see anyone."

"Let's go see the little oranges."

"Little orange?"

Chen Qingwu remembered that Zheng Sizhe didn't know the name Little Orange, so he changed his words and said, "Go see the puppy I saved yesterday."

"Oh, how's it hurting?"

"It's not serious, I want to take it back to me later."

"Yes, you are deserted there, you should raise a living creature to give you some life."

"What are you talking about, the flowers and plants in my yard are not living creatures?"

"Can they bark at you twice to make you happy?"

Chen Qingwu stopped talking, and when the elevator went up to the second floor, they stepped out of the car one after the other, Chen Qingwu suddenly remembered something and stopped Zheng Sizhe.

"Sizhe, I want to ask you something."

"What?"

"Did Duan Jincheng ask you about our relationship?"

"Huh?"

Chen Qingwu looked at him like this, thinking that it was probably not, and was about to say forget it, when he saw Zheng Sizhe nodding: "It seems to be."

"Really?"

"Just yesterday, he asked me if we were dating."

"How did you answer?"

"I'm aahhh

Chen Qingwu rolled his eyes at Zheng Sizhe.

"What are you white? We weren't dating in the first place." Zheng Sizhe followed behind Chen Qingwu, "Is it possible, do you want to have a relationship with me?"

"Beautiful you."

"That's it."

Zheng Sizhe's tone was clear, and there was a hint of imperceptible frustration in it.

He likes Chen Qingwu.

When I saw her for the first time, she was still in a wheelchair, like a wounded little beast, chained by her master Chen Changsheng, and relied on several carving knives every day to vent her emotions.

He paid attention to her at first, because he heard what happened to her, and felt that she was a little pitiful, plus they worshiped the same master, and they didn't look up every day, her legs and feet were inconvenient, so he helped take care of it, what she wanted, what she wanted to buy, he could help run errands, but Chen Qingwu didn't buy it, she was very sensitive during that time, for fear that others would treat her as a waste, the more Zheng Sizhe helped, the more disgusted she was with him, several times, she saw him in a wheelchair and took a detour.

Zheng Sizhe has never seen such a stubborn girl.

Of course, there is another way to express her stubbornness, that is, tenacity and refusal to admit defeat.

She wanted to get out of the wheelchair, so she endured the pain and gritted her teeth to rehabilitate, and the doctor was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so she asked her to exercise for two hours a day, so she quietly practiced for two more hours.

She wanted to learn nuclear carving, but the master asked her to practice the basic skills first, and she could sit alone and practice carving squares and circles, over and over again hundreds of times.

And what attracted Zheng Sizhe and made him admire was the ordinary girl in her

There is no tenacity.

He watched how she got out of the wheelchair little by little and by her own will, and also watched how she went from a novice in nuclear carving to create her own amazing works.

Over the years, Zheng Sizhe has been in love, and he has not thought about confessing, but the master said that Chen Qingwu is not easy to chase, why is it not easy to chase, because she has someone in her heart, a teenager codenamed Rose.

It is said that the young man is very handsome, he once gave Chen Qingwu a rose, Chen Qingwu first took the rose home and stared at it with affection every day, close to the rose withered, and thought about making dried flowers, dried flowers do not last long, she tore off one of the rose petals and sealed it......

Zheng Sizhe didn't believe it at first.

Until, he saw the sealed rose petals with his own eyes, saw Chen Qingwu often sit thoughtfully in front of it for a long time, and saw Chen Qingwu insisting on planting a rose forest in the back garden of the new house.

Zheng Sizhe realized how deep Chen Qingwu's affection for the rose boy was, he was timid in his heart, and he didn't want to risk his friendship with Chen Qingwu, so he could only persuade himself to quietly collect his love and guard her as a friend.

"You and Duan Jincheng have known each other before?" Zheng Sizhe contacted all kinds of clues before, and suddenly opened up.

"Hmm."

"How did you know?"

"High school classmates."

"High school classmates?"

High school student? Isn't that a teenager?

Good guys, everything is on the right track.

"Did he give you roses?"

Chen Qingwu glanced at Zheng Sizhe: "Who told you about roses?"

"Master."

"My grandfather?"

"That's right."

Chen Qingwu was embarrassed, why didn't she know that the old man was so gossip before?

"In this way, Duan Jin Cheng really gave you roses." Zheng Sizhe used an affirmative sentence this time.

"It's 800 years ago, and I forgot if you don't say it."

"Will you forget?"

Chen Qingwu was speechless.

"No, Chen Qingwu, you are not kind, the actor is your Bai Yueguang, you didn't even tell me such exciting news, I'll just say it, the time you two went to Qinghe, the atmosphere was not right." Zheng Sizhe approached Chen Qingwu, "Honestly, do you still like people?"

"Shut up, don't say meaningless things, I don't want to fall in love, and I don't want to get married."

Chen Qingwu wanted to go back to the room after speaking, but Zheng Sizhe hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Why don't you want to fall in love and get married?" He was still gossiping the last second, and this second his expression was already serious, "Is it because of your legs?"

Chen Qingwu was silent.

When Zheng Sizhe saw that she didn't speak, he knew that the answer was eight or nine.

Her legs are always her lifeline, making her unable to be confident in the face of feelings and frequently retreating.

"Qingwu." Zheng Sizhe sighed lightly, then rubbed her heart very gently, and comforted: "No matter what, I want you to believe that you are really good, and you deserve all the good things in the world."

"Don't be sensational, I'll cry."

"Let's be blunt." Zheng Sizhe laughed, "If the rival in love is not an actor, you are so good that I will want to chase you."

"Get out."
