However, Xiaoshi was not surprised or touched at all, but just smiled lightly, the shallow dimples were filled with sourness and helplessness, "It's not important anymore, what's important is that we can't control our love, and we can't help ourselves." Control our future. There are so many things between me and him, so many people" Xiao Shi tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said with a relaxed expression: "Hey, what is there a saying? You can go back to the past, but you can¡¯t go back to the beginning.¡±
Across so many people and things Cheng Yiyuan thought of the child that Xiao Shi and Shao Ting had lost, and seemed to be able to understand the feeling of helplessness that was irreversible. However, he must not bring this negative feeling to Xiaoshi, so he said more firmly: "That's not the case, Xiaoshi, you and him have such a deep relationship, as long as you don't give up, there is still hope!"
He looked at Xiaoshi's eyes seriously, as if he wanted to see some light of hope from them. However, those black and white eyes were clearly very clear, but they could no longer ignite bright spots of light.
Xiao Shi smiled sadly and shook her head, "We have worked so hard, but the result is still the same as before." She sighed with a sigh of relief, in a vicissitudes tone that did not match her age: "Perhaps, this is the so-called 'Fate'. I used to believe that everything is man-made, but now, I understand more and more that the so-called fate can only be endured and cannot be changed."
Cheng Yiyuan felt something in his heart. He always thought that only a person like himself with a sense of fate could feel the numbness and desolation of fate. And Xiao Shi is so transparent, too transparent to tolerate the weight of fate, she shouldn't have said such words.
Cheng Yiyuan didn't know how to respond for a moment, but Xiaoshi was already facing him, with a warm smile, and said very sincerely: "I sincerely bless you and Miss Wen. I really envy you can love each other openly and stay together in a legitimate way. This In this world, it is a rare and very happy thing for two people to be happy, and there are too many lovers who can't get married in the end." Probably thinking of her hopeless love, she paused, adjusted her emotions, and then said with a smile: "So, you are really happy. Your love grows in the sun, and will be blessed by many people. It will be smooth, harmonious and beautiful. So, you must cherish it!"
In the last sentence, Xiaoshi spoke very forcefully, as if she wanted to pour her own expectations of love into it, and let Cheng Yiyuan and Wen Jiaqi replace her and her loved one to complete the mission of happiness.
Cheng Yiyuan looked into Xiaoshi's earnest eyes, and his heart was in a mess. like? He was thinking whether the relationship between him and Jiaqi was worthy of the word.
"Xiaoshi, tell me, what is love?" Cheng Yiyuan asked in a daze.
Xiaoshi looked out of the window, it was already dark in the early winter, but it would definitely be dawn tomorrow, wouldn't it?
She looked serious, and said very solemnly: "Love is a kind of belief. If you believe it, it exists, if you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."
Cheng Yiyuan was shocked, wasn't this what Zhou Shaoting said to him on the rooftop that day? And Xiaoshi, who actually remembered it so clearly!
Cheng Yiyuan felt distressed for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Then, do you believe it?"
Before the words fell, Xiaoshi's gaze suddenly turned to Cheng Yiyuan's face, with an inexplicable and inexplicable strangeness, as if looking at a stranger No, it was looking at someone who was too familiar but didn't want to think of it .
On the riverside where the night breeze was cool, she also asked a man the same question, but at that time, the man only answered her with silence. In fact, from that moment on, she should know that there are some things that person cannot give. It's just that she is too good at deceiving herself and others, she is reluctant and unable to let go.
Xiao Shi turned his eyes away calmly, still looking out of the window, and said slowly: "Idon't believe it."
Cheng Yiyuan knew that she was hurt too deeply, how could she still believe in the so-called "love"? Everything, in the face of reality, must bow down.
"Then what are you going to do now?" Cheng Yiyuan asked with concern.
"Nothing to do, go to a city without him, continue to love him, continue to live." Xiaoshi said calmly.
For some reason, looking at Xiaoshi's current appearance and hearing her hopeless and sad words, Cheng Yiyuan suddenly thought of his mother, the mother when he was young.
At that time, she was also such a delicate and indifferent woman, but she also had a somewhat strong temperament. After being hurt by love, she left her hometown alone and came to a strange city, just to get rid of all the memories related to that person.
However, she later realized that the life in her stomach was the person who left her the deepest memory, deeply implanted in her flesh and blood. Back then, she was still too young, even younger than Xiaoshi now, and she couldn't bear such a situation.So heavy, so I want to uproot everything, just to be able to return to peace in the barren life.
Cheng Yiyuan's heart seemed to be cracked, and all the incomprehension and resentment towards his mother flowed out along that opening. He loves and understands Xiaoshi now, so he can also feel sorry for and understand Xiaoshi back then. mother. At this moment, all the brooding turned into deep nostalgia, which made him forgive her forever in his heart.
Cheng Yiyuan looked at Xiaoshi again, with relief after a sudden realization in his eyes, and said word by word: "Xiaoshi, forget it."
"How did you forget?" Xiaoshi smiled, and her crooked eyes became moist, "Yiyuan, I told you just now 'I don't believe it', in fact, I only said half a sentence. I really don't believe in love, there is nothing like this stuff. But, I believe in a person, unconditionally, indefinitely."
She burst into tears suddenly, covering her mouth with her hands, and whimpered, "Yiyuan, what should I do? I'm hopeless! I can't turn back"
Cheng Yiyuan frowned tightly, raised and lowered his hands, and finally supported Xiaoshi's trembling shoulders, and slowly leaned her against his chest.
He understood that Xiaoshi was different from his mother back then. His mother's departure was to forget, while Xiaoshi was to remember.
Between the cups and cups, Cheng Yiyuan was restless. Amidst the lights and wine, all he could see was the girl's last appearance, her brows as light as smoke, and her desperate and persevering eyes.
He couldn't help getting up and leaving the table, walked out of the box, walked through the corridor, avoided a quiet corner, and dialed Zhou Shaoting's phone again.
It rang for a long time, but still no one answered. Tomorrow is the voting meeting of the board of directors that decides the fate of Yijiang. Presumably Zhou Shaoting is too busy to deal with all parties tonight, and he is overwhelmed. Or, to avoid suspicion, he deliberately didn't answer his call?
Cheng Yiyuan was not reconciled, and when the notification tone "The number you called is temporarily unavailable" came out again from the mobile phone, he gritted his teeth and hung up, and then called again.
This time, the phone was finally picked up, "Yiyuan?"
Zhou Shaoting raised his voice, as if he was surprised by his call at this time. But immediately, his voice became clear again, with a hint of vigilance, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Yiyuan heard a little drunkenness from Zhou Shaoting's hoarse voice, and knew that he must be just like them, socializing. But now he didn't care about that much, and said solemnly and eagerly: "It's Xiaoshi, she's leaving Shanghai, and she's leaving the day after tomorrow."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Cheng Yiyuan hesitated, took a deep breath, and finally said: "If you are free, you should go and see her. She is in a very bad condition."
Still silent.
Cheng Yiyuan was impatient, and called urgently: "Shao Ting?" There was no response, so he called again: "Zhou Shaoting?"
"I see." A low and brief answer came from the receiver, and then the other party hung up the phone conveniently.
Cheng Yiyuan looked at the darkened mobile phone, feeling a little suffocated in his heart, wondering how long this man will be awkward! He was so cruel to himself, watching Xiaoshi sad and sad, but he couldn't help at all, and the only person who could help was not at his mercy.
When Cheng Yiyuan raised his head, he gasped in shock. His father Cheng Yongcheng was standing in front of him, watching all his actions with cold eyes, he must have heard the phone call just now.
Sure enough, Cheng Yongcheng immediately asked with a cold face: "Are you calling Zhou Shaoting?"
At this juncture, it is impossible for him to be insensitive and not alert to his son's call to Zhou Shaoting.
Cheng Yiyuan put his mobile phone into his pocket unhurriedly, raised his chest, and said candidly, "Yes, a little personal matter."
Cheng Yongcheng squinted his eyes, and his tone was helpless, even a little sad, "Whether it's public or private, tomorrow is the directors' voting meeting! You are contacting him privately at this time, it really chills me."
With this tone again, Cheng Yiyuan was even more helpless, turned his head and exhaled, looked at the walls of the hotel, and secretly judged that the wall decoration was really old-fashioned.
Cheng Yongsheng approached his son two steps, and said earnestly: "I know, you have a good personal relationship with him, maybe you still regard him asfriend. But do you know that your so-called 'friendship' is entirely based on interests It's more than relationships! Once you touch his interests, will he still consider you a friend? Huh?" He deliberately paused to give Cheng Yiyuan time to reflect, and then said pointedly: "I think, you You should have seen it too, right?"
Cheng Yiyuan lowered his eyes to hide the emotions that might be revealed in them.
That's right, Zhou Shaoting was suspicious and defensive towards him during the hotel management project bidding, which still makes him feel disappointed and lonely when he thinks about it. Although he knew that Zhou Shaoting was pressured by his father, it was a helpless move. However, as far as his heart is concerned, Zhou Shaoting's treatment of him is far less frank and sincere than his treatment of Zhou Shaoting. There is no doubt about this.
However, the so-called "friendship" does not require treating each other completely equally; the so-called "trust" does not expect to be able to exchange hearts. If you care about every detail and are demanding, is it any different from doing business? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com)Still disappointed and lonely.
