And three months later.

Ning Zhi boasted that he would not love people easily, but love was too short-lived.

In the past, she was unwilling to accept the disappointment after expectation, but now, if that person was Xi Lanyu, she was willing to give it a try for him.

However, the agreement expired in two weeks.

Ning Zhi doesn't think Xi Lanyu will change her mind in two weeks, at least for now, he is the perfect and impeccable boyfriend, but she will inevitably feel a little uneasy.

The existence of this contract meant that he could terminate his relationship with her at any time.

——A kind of uneasiness that is behind the emptiness of thousands of miles.

Ning Zhi couldn't help but look out the window and took a deep breath.

Her hand was suddenly shaken lightly, and Xi Lanyu noticed her strange appearance and asked sideways, "What's the matter, as soon as you get in the car, you will be restless." ”

Ning Zhi couldn't help but look at the hands of the two of them.

She now has a subconscious familiarity with his palm, just touching it, it makes her heart soften, Ning Zhi looked up at him, slowly leaned over, she hugged Xi Lanyu's waist with both hands, and asked cautiously, "Xi Lanyu, will you really like me all the time?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Xi Lanyu's hand around her waist tightened, and the cedar breath on her side was entangled.

He leaned over and touched her face with his fingertips, "What are you thinking?" ”

Ning Zhi's eyelashes swept past his fingertips, and she instinctively closed her eyes and didn't speak.

There was silence in the car for a moment, and Xi Lanyu suddenly broke her face and asked her to look at him, "Zhizhi, between us, I am the one who needs to be worried." ”

Ning Zhi was puzzled, "...... Frankly, I'm pretty ordinary, if—"

Before she finished speaking, Xi Lanyu interrupted her, and he looked into her eyes seriously, extremely reverent, "No, Zhizhi, you are not ordinary at all. You are young, your career is thriving, and you have family and colleagues who love you, but what do I have, it may not be appropriate to say this, but Zhizhi, your life, even without me, is still wonderful and complete. ”

"However," Xi Lanyu paused and closed his eyes deeply, "I'm not. ”

Ning Zhi understood what he meant for a moment.

At that time, she had just learned about Xi Lanyu's past, and she had tentatively asked, perhaps, if he wanted to find his biological parents.

What did Xi Lanyu say at that time?

He hugged Ning Zhi, rested his head on her shoulder, and said casually, no, he was born indifferent, and having her was enough.

It was as if at this moment, he told Ning Zhi that between the two of them, the one who really needed the other party more was him.

The person he can't do without is also him.

So, don't worry, don't doubt, she will always be in a high position in this relationship.

-

Xi Yueting couldn't sit still, and in the past few days, Xi Lanyu didn't answer a single phone call, until he let go of his usual high-minded attitude and sent a message.

"Lan Yu, let's talk."

It's time to talk about it, and some things should have been settled long ago.

However, Xi Lanyu did not reply immediately, but hung him for a few more days, until he pleaded again and his tone became more humble, and Xi Lanyu changed lanes and drove to the Xi family's old house on the way back from sending Ning Zhi to work.

It is said to be an old house, but in fact it has not been lived for long.

Xi Yueting could afford to buy this place, but he relied on this kindness to live in peace and control.

Xi Lanyu sat in the car and took a look before pushing the door and getting out of the car.

The moment he appeared, the German pastor who heard the sound was still barking.

When Xi Yueting saw it, he didn't stop, but he didn't say anything cool.

Probably he thought this was his way of showing weakness.

The two walked in together, silent.

Along the way, Xi Lanyu passed by the small room, he paused, turned to go in, and still put on a stick of incense as usual.

Anyway, I won't come back often in the future.

Xi Yueting glanced at it and snorted coldly, but when he thought of his current situation, the usual ridicule was swallowed by him.

The two sat down in the study.

Sitting on the left and right sides of the square mahogany table, two teas are placed on it, the lid is lifted, the tea fragrance is fragrant, and the white mist is filled.

Xi Lanyu didn't drink it, and put the tea back.

He went straight to the point, scooped up the documents that were put aside, threw them on the table, and said in a calm voice, "Father, since I took over Beichen, counting the inflation rate, the market value has increased more than 100 times, I think it is not too much for me to take these and buy a freedom with you." ”

The northern winter is very cold, I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, the door of the study is wide open, and the cold wind is bursting with the smell of dust, rolling straight into the house.

The accident is not unpleasant, but it feels comfortable, and it is unprecedentedly bright.

When Xi Yueting heard this, his face was very bad, and he couldn't hold it anymore.

He slapped his palm on the thin, moderately thick paperwork, which shook the tea and splashed a few drops, leaving a clear mark on the paper.

He was very emotional, pointed his finger at Lanyu, and asked him, "You, how dare you?" ”

Xi Lanyu didn't move, lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, and glanced at him casually, "Why don't you dare?" ”

"I have already paid back what should be repaid, and I will take your favor if I shouldn't pay it back, it's not kind enough?"

Xi Yueting covered his heart, "...... That's what you said you could pay back? ”

Xi Lanyu's patience was limited, he stood up, his face was unwavering, he looked at him condescendingly, and replied calmly, "After so many years, even if you have deceived outsiders, can you really deceive yourself?" ”

The tone was very light, but it was like thunder on the ground for a moment, and Xi Yueting couldn't recover for a long time.

Xi Yueting grabbed the Tang costume in front of him, raised his head, and looked squarely at the child he had brought back from the welfare home for the first time.

He is old, but he has already grown up and grown into a tree that is strong enough to support Beichen from wind and rain.

In fact, he could not shake him in the slightest.

In these years, it is clear that he has lived under his shadow.

Xi Yueting's lips twitched, "You, you know?" ”

Xi Lanyu gave him a last handout, but his eyes were so cold that they were no different from looking at a stranger, and he didn't go back, because it was really unnecessary.

Xi Lanyu straightened out his suit and strode away from the front door.

Suddenly, there was a heavy muffled sound behind him.

Probably because Xi Yueting couldn't bear the blow and fell out of his chair.

It should have been like this a long time ago, but it dragged on for so long.

Back then, Chen Lan and Xi Yueting loved their son excessively, and the two were almost in love to the point of pathology.

Although the son gives whatever he wants, this is at the price of freedom.

All the time, no matter where you are, there are a pair of eyes staring closely.

Because of worry, it is too dangerous to play, and unhealthy can not be eaten.

They wanted his son to stay in the greenhouse they had created for him for the rest of his life.

But the more you don't let him do it, the more he wants to try.

Eventually, he slipped out of the way without anyone looking, and was run over by a speeding vehicle because he lacked the ability to cross the road alone.

It has happened, not so much as an accident, not so much blaming anyone else as it is a tragedy of love that is so tightly knit that one cannot breathe.

The makers did not want to admit it, so they blamed the tragedy on others.

The grave keeper is willing to bear it because of self-blame, but who is not innocent.

They know it.

-

When he went home in the evening, Ning Zhi went to pack up the things he brought back last time.

After Xi Lanyu's rare inner analysis last time, Ning Zhi didn't care much about this paper agreement, and when she took it out, she didn't even look at it, and just put it at the bottom.

After a brief treatment, he finally took a habitual glance, and the moment he closed the drawer, Ning Zhi suddenly stood in place without moving.

She pulled out the album that was almost full of Ning Man's photos with her, leaning on the head of the bed and flipping over it.

In fact, over the years, she has only flipped through this album a handful of times.

The reason is very simple, it is just two words, don't dare.

I don't want to believe that such a vivid person can disappear from her.

Even, she left in such a hurry that she didn't have time to see her grow up.

It's just that inexplicably, these surging emotions of her magically calmed down the moment she opened the photo album.

It was as if he had been loved all over again, and every bad feeling was appeased accordingly.

Ning Zhi once heard a saying that children who get too much love know how to love others.

They don't suffer from gains and losses, they don't get sensitive, they don't have doubts.

Because they have never experienced these emotions, they don't know how to use them.

Almost instantly, Ning Zhi suddenly realized that during the time she and Xi Lanyu were together, not only did he need her, but she was also the same, and at the same time, he was also healing her in life.

Ning Zhi grabbed the edge of the album and suddenly felt that he missed him so much.

This emotion peaks when I hear the sound of the door closing downstairs.

Ning Zhi put down the photo album, trotted downstairs in three or two steps, and threw himself into Xi Lanyu's arms.

This sudden force made Xi Lanyu take a step back slightly, and his back was against the door panel, holding her steadily.

She knew what he was going to do today, and she knew what it meant for Xi Lanyu to appear at this time.

Ning Zhi hugged him and rubbed vigorously in front of him, his voice soft, "You will be alone with me in the future." ”

Xi Lanyu hugged her back and chuckled, "Isn't it always?" ”

Ning Zhi shook his head, "It's different." ”

Heavy responsibilities and easy life, how can it be the same.
