The arrogance of the city

Chapter 188 Soldiers and Soldiers

A certain comrade who was still accompanying Yao Chenxi to the wedding banquet naturally didn't know that a friend came from afar.

After the wedding, he and Yao Chenxi walked out of the Kaile Hotel amidst the greetings.

At the entrance of the hotel, this time the groom and his parents stood at the door to see off the guests in person.

Seeing Yao Chenxi, the smile on his face inevitably became a little complicated.

"At the wedding just now...it's not convenient for me to say more..."

The groom Shi Mo's lips moved. Considering Li Futu's existence, the "Chenxi" that came to his lips was swallowed back.

"...Thank you for coming."

His parents stood behind, with mixed feelings in their eyes.

Yao Chenxi smiled: "I should be the one to say thank you, thank you for treating me as a friend."

From his eyes, it was obvious that Shi Mo still had a lot to say, but because of someone beside Yao Chenxi, he stopped talking.

"Mr. Li, thank you for your face."

He turned his head to look at Li Futu, his smile was the same as that of his father-in-law and the guests at the wedding, revealing a very clear respect, it was obvious that Guan Teng had reminded him of something.

Was the young man who was once full of ambition and wanted to break out of the sky, finally defeated by reality?
Seeing this, Yao Chenxi felt inexplicably regretful, and she didn't know if it was for Shi Mo or for herself.

Li Futu smiled faintly: "I just came here with Chenxi to see what the person she once liked was like."

Shi Mo's face froze, obviously he didn't expect Yao Chenxi to tell the young hero who was in full swing, and a nervous look subconsciously appeared in his eyes.

As a man, he knows very well that men are not very big-hearted when it comes to treating their own women's feelings, and that kind of possessiveness will become more obvious as their status rises.

"Let Shao Jian laugh."

Shi Mo lowered his head slightly.

Li Futu's smile remained unchanged: "Mr. Shi is a man of talent, and he did not disappoint me."

Shi Mo couldn't figure out whether this hero, who was younger than him but had a plane beyond him by countless levels, was speaking truth or irony, so he didn't dare to answer for a while.

Yao Chenxi took Li Futu's hand again, and said softly, "Let's go."

Li Futu nodded calmly.

Yao Chenxi took one last look at the man she once loved deeply, and smiled: "Goodbye."

Shi Mo knew that this goodbye was a formal farewell to the past.

"……goodbye."

He opened his mouth slowly and watched the two leave.

Shi Mo's father sighed: "Son, it's all over, Yao girl has also found her support..."

"Dad, I understand."

Shi Mo knew what his father was worried about, and said with a complicated smile: "I chose the current path myself, and I will bear it. But I really hope that she can find a man who truly loves her, and that her affection will never be let down. "

Shi Mo's father patted him on the shoulder and let out a long sigh.

……

Sitting in the wild horse, Li Futu didn't start the car in a hurry, but turned his head to look, "Is it really all right?"

Yao Chenxi smiled: "I look so weak, do I have to cry and make a fuss?"

Li Futu shrugged: "I was prepared for the possibility that you might make a scene at the wedding today."

Yao Chenxi couldn't help laughing, looked at him and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Li Futu glanced outside the car, at the hotel gate, Shi Mo seemed to be still looking here.

"Actually, I think he still has you in his heart..."

"It doesn't matter anymore."

Yao Chenxi let out a deep breath, as if shaking off a heavy burden in her heart: "To put it bluntly, he doesn't love me enough, and I don't love him enough. He won't give up his ideal for me, and I won't give up for him. If you give up your persistence, the two of us are doomed to have nothing to do with each other..."

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, turned her head and asked curiously: "If it were you, career or love, which one would you choose?"

"I?"

Li Futu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, and started the car. "Nobody gave me a choice."

……

At the gate of Donghai University, Li Futu was about to stop the car when he heard Yao Chenxi say, "Go up and have a seat."

"..."

Li Futu hesitated.

"Don't worry, Su Yuan should be in class now."

Yao Chenxi felt that the other party had worked hard with her for a long time, so she should invite the other party to have a cup of tea. This is basic courtesy.

"OK then."

It would be a little unreasonable to refuse again, Li Futu nodded and agreed, and under the guidance of Yao Chenxi, he drove the car to the downstairs of the teacher's apartment at Donghai University.

Park the car and go upstairs.

The environment in the teachers’ apartment of Tunghai University is obviously not bad. Because Yao Chenxi is unmarried, the school provides a one-bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom house, plus a balcony. The area is about [-] square meters, which is more than enough for one person to live in. .

Li Futu took a quick look and felt that Yao Chenxi should have redecorated after he moved in. The blue wall coverings, the white floor, and not many fancy decorations, the style is simple, and it gives people a feeling of being close to nature and relaxing when they come in. The balcony There is also a hanging basket and a small round table made of rattan wood. It is presumed that the owner of the apartment often sits there and reads a book, revealing a strong sense of petty bourgeoisie.

"I'm sure this is incomparable to your mansion..."

Yao Chenxi smiled, let him look at her, and went into the kitchen to make coffee.

A mansion is indeed a mansion, but it is not his own.

Li Futu shook his head and smiled, but he didn't explain the fact that he was still under the fence, and sat down on the fabric sofa when he came here.

"Give."

Soon, Yao Chenxi brought out two cups of hot coffee with a strong aroma.

"Thank you."

Li Futu took the coffee and said with a smile: "I think this is what you call life. It's great to be free and have your own little world. Too many people have become slaves to fame and wealth, and money will never feel worthless." If you earn enough, you will always feel that your status is not high enough, and you only want to climb up, but in the end, what do you really enjoy.”

Holding the coffee, Yao Chenxi smiled, "These should be the words of those old scholars in school. It shouldn't come from a young person like you."

Li Futu took a sip of his coffee and said with a smile, "Sometimes I also feel like an old man."

Yao Chenxi subconsciously thought of the scars she saw on the other person that morning, which was shocking and unforgettable.

"You used to be... a soldier?"

Li Futu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

"I saw you had a lot of injuries that day. I'm afraid only soldiers can..."

Li Futu was stunned, and shook his head: "No, but you can think of me as a warrior."

Yao Chenxi frowned, "...Is there a difference?"

Li Futu was silent for a while, and opened his eyes calmly.

"A soldier can kill one man for ten thousand. A soldier... can kill ten thousand for one man."

At that moment, Yao Chenxi's expression was in a trance, and his mind was shaken.
