"Did I scare you?" Soon, he withdrew his hand and explained, "Gardenia, don't worry, I don't mean to force you, and I didn't force you to like me, you don't have to have any pressure, just get along with me like before, I'm just ...... I just want to face my heart and say those words. ”

He hadn't chased a girl before, and he didn't know how to confess to be correct, love is not the same as talking about business, he can't do data analysis, weigh the pros and cons, and then evaluate the value and draw conclusions.

Perhaps, when he saw Tang Duyi getting too close to other boys and began to be unhappy and jealous, he already had a conclusion.

The reason why he chose to say this today is not only because he went to worship Grandma Tang, but also because he wanted to protect her and wanted to be the first person she thought of when she was in trouble.

And he felt that by expressing his mind first, and then confessing his identity later, he could better explain and reduce the misunderstanding between them.

In short, he didn't want to be her husband only for a year, that titular one.

The atmosphere in the box instantly became quiet, and there was a strangeness between them.

Tang Duyi's heart was in turmoil, her fists clenched tightly, and her nails looked like they were about to sink into the flesh.

After a long while, she said lightly, "Actually, people like you can find a better person." ”

Jing Xiao is not stupid, he can hear that this is a refusal.

The first confession ended in failure, and he was still a little disappointed in his heart, but such a result was also expected by him.

"Then what do you think the so-called better person looks like?" He asked with a wry smile, staring at her with burning eyes, waiting for an answer.

Tang Duyi paused for a second, then took a deep breath and replied, "I don't know, but I think that person ...... It shouldn't be me. ”

The last four words of her were so whispered that even she couldn't hear them clearly.

The words plunged silence between them again.

Jing Xiao didn't answer, just looked at her tightly like that, with a complicated expression, and didn't know what she was thinking.

Tang Duyi's heartbeat became more and more violent, thumping, like a war drum, beating her eardrums, making her almost suffocate.

She wanted to get away from here as soon as possible, but her legs felt like they were filled with lead, and she could barely move.

Outside the box, there were footsteps from time to time, but it was just the sound of passing by, and no one came in to disturb them.

After a long time, Tang Duyi gritted her teeth, stood up with difficulty, and prepared to leave, she couldn't eat a bite of this meal.

Suddenly, her arm was grabbed, and the whole person was firmly imprisoned in place, unable to move.

"Jingxiao!" She looked up at him with wide eyes, her eyes slightly red, and her voice trembling.

Jing Xiao's hand holding her wrist loosened, "Gardenia, I know very well what kind of person I want to spend my life with, and I also know very well that you are that person." ”

His voice was soft but firm, a far cry from his usual cold appearance.

"I'm not that person." Tang Duyi denied it without hesitation, avoided his eyes, and added, "Don't think too well of me." ”

She couldn't even be honest with him, so how could she be the one who could spend his life with him?

Jing Xiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said firmly: "Gardenia, it's not that I think you are too good, it's that you are already very good." ”

The more he got along, the more he felt that Tang Duyi was like a pearl, always exuding a charming halo invisibly, making people can't help but want to get closer, and want to hold her in the palm of her hand to care.

Now, he's been completely slapped in the face.

Tang Duyi didn't give any answer to his words, but just broke free from his hand and walked out of the box as if fleeing.

Jing Xiao looked at her back, but he didn't rush to chase after her, but sat down, took out a cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it, the dense smoke blocked his vision and his obscure look.

He thought, he's really crazy.

After Tang Duyi went out of the restaurant, the whole person was in a panic, thinking about various things in a mess.

The more she hurried home, the more she remembered Jing Xiao's unfathomable eyes, which seemed to reveal a sadness, she didn't understand what that emotion meant, and she didn't dare to figure it out too much.

When she got home, her head was still in a mess, and she sat on the sofa in the living room, her legs curled up, and she was thinking wildly.

As the night fell, the stars filled the entire night sky, bright and dazzling.

I don't know how long it took, she took out her mobile phone, clicked on the dialog box with Jingxiao, and typed a lot of words densely.

When she sent those over, she actually felt a sigh of relief.

Jing Xiao on the other side was not in a hurry to go back to the hotel, he sat in the car at the corner of the old mansion, and there was a trace of melancholy lingering between his eyebrows.

When the mobile phone vibrated and rang, he was a little excited when he saw that it was Tang Duyi who sent the message, but just when he was about to click on it to check, the screen jumped again, and someone called him.

He wanted to hang up, but inadvertently pressed answer.

After the phone was connected, the other party took the lead in opening his mouth, "Brother, you didn't answer the wind for me, it's really boring, when will you come back?" ”

Zhou Chengxi arrived in Haicheng in the evening, but as soon as the plane landed, he heard that Jingxiao had returned to Danzhou, and he was very unhappy in his heart.

"Oh." Jing Xiao responded indifferently, without any warmth.

He was reading the news from Tang Duyi at the moment, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

Zhou Chengyan was very dissatisfied with his attitude, pursed his lips, and complained in a somewhat aggrieved tone, "I called you when I came back without even falling jet lag, why are you like this." ”

"Then you're jet lagged, hang up." After the words fell, Jing Xiao hung up the phone directly without the slightest hesitation.

Zhou Chengyan stared at the blackened screen and could hear the boredom in his tone, so he didn't call him anymore to annoy him, so he could only sigh helplessly.

After Jing Xiao finished reading the long paragraph on the phone, his face became gloomy, his fists tightened slightly, and his fingertips were very stiff and typed two words and sent them to her.

[Open the door.] 】

There are some things that they have to say to their faces, and what results can they talk about through this cold screen.

A few minutes later, Tang Duyi opened the door of the courtyard, and at that time, Jing Xiao was already standing at the door.

When she saw the person in front of her, she was slightly stunned and asked in a trembling voice, "You have been at the door?" ”

He didn't answer, but suggested, "Why don't you go into the house and talk about it." ”

Tang Duyi pursed her lips, and finally nodded.

After entering the house, she made Jing Xiao a cup of tea and brought it over, but he didn't drink it, but went straight to the point, "I want to know, did you think about it carefully when you sent me that message?" ”

Hearing this, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and her heart seemed to jump to her throat.

"It's because of what I said today that you want to keep your distance from me, right?" He continued to ask, with a hint of aggressiveness in his tone.

Tang Duyi was stunned, his hands hanging on his legs couldn't help clenching, and his shining eyes didn't dare to look at him.

It took a long time for her to find her voice and whisper sorry, but she didn't explain anything.

If Jing Xiao confessed to her before Tang Hong came back, then she might not think too much about it and accept it directly, but right now, she has too many things to think about, so much so that she doesn't know if she can accept it, whether she should accept it.

When Jing Xiao saw her like this, he guessed that she must be thinking about Fa'er's avoidance of this topic again, so he grabbed her slender arm.

"Can I ask you just one question?" He paused for a moment, then his tone softened abruptly, "If I were to chase you from now on, would you still think that I was joking with you?" ”

His eyes seemed to contain stars, so deep that she couldn't take her eyes off them.

Tang Duyi's eyes widened in shock, her breathing was disordered, her pupils contracted violently, she swallowed hard, her throat seemed to be stuck in something, making her speechless for a while.

"Can you try it?" He asked again, his eyes filled with anticipation.

This time, Tang Duyi still shook her head, but not refusal, but she didn't know.

She violently broke free of Jing Xiao's hand, stood up, turned her back to him, and her voice was full of strong uneasiness, "Jing Xiao, don't you force me like this?" I don't know, I really don't know. ”

After dropping these words, she ran straight into the bedroom, slammed the door shut, and sat down on the floor against the door.

She clutched her chest, feeling her heart beating wildly, and suddenly there was a sense of confusion and confusion......

Jing Xiao looked in the direction of the bedroom, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, his palms tightened slightly, got up and walked towards the door.

He raised his hand to knock on the door, but his fingers froze in midair.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally withdrew his hand and silently turned to leave.

Maybe Tang Duyi is right, he shouldn't force her too hard, let alone let her make a choice when she hasn't done anything, that would be too unfair to her.

However, isn't it difficult for him to be a thirty-year-old man to learn the trick of chasing girls at this time?

Hearing that there was no sound outside the house, Tang Duyi opened the door and took a look, and after making sure that Jing Xiao was gone, she returned to the bedroom and sat on the bed, her mind full of the words he asked herself, and his last disappointed look.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't.

The night was cold and long......

Tang Duyi didn't know how she fell asleep, and when she woke up again, it was already dark.

Her head was drowsy, and her body weighed as if she had weighed a thousand pounds.

After slowing down for a while, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed, but as soon as she took a small step, the whole person staggered forward and fell, she hurriedly reached out to support the wall, which barely supported her body.

Her calf slammed into the foot of the bed, she clenched her teeth in pain, a thin layer of sweat quickly oozed from her forehead, and before she could open her leg again, a whirlwind of heaven struck, her eyes were dark, and she lost consciousness.
