Chapter 66

When I got home last night, instead of being furious, he talked with me from the bottom of his heart, which made me very sad.This is exactly the strength of this man. He builds himself into an iron wall and rarely reveals his inner emotions. Occasionally, if he accidentally reveals it, he will immediately take it back, cleanly, without leaving any traces.Although he was surprised to see Geng Mochi, he immediately regained his composure, greeted me coldly, and then took me home. It has always been his skill to stay calm in times of crisis.When I got home and talked with me again, it made me feel like I had done something wrong, but he turned to self-criticism, saying that he was busy with work recently and ignored me.I don't know whether I admire him or fear him. I have slept with this man for two years, but I have never seen through him.

But I still explained to him, saying that Geng Mochi was bankrupt and owed a lot of debts, so he had no choice but to hide here.

"Bankrupt? Did he tell you?" Qi Shuli asked back.

"Ah."

"you believe?"

"Why don't I believe it, is it worth lying too?"

Qi Shuli looked at me strangely at that time, as if the person sitting in front of him was an idiot, with a clear expression of distrust, and suddenly he sneered, with a weird smile, "My Cathy, what can I say about you, your age is not You're young, your brain isn't so bad, do you really believe that he's bankrupt?"

I became anxious and argued, "He's bankrupt. He has no place to live, so he can only live on a boat, and he's wearing old clothes..."

"Luoluo? Will Luoluo live in a houseboat? Do you know how expensive that houseboat is?"

"He rented it, but he didn't buy it, and he still didn't let me go up, saying that it was very shabby inside, and he was afraid that I would be upset if I saw it."

"Shabby?"

"Yes, he used my card to buy things in the afternoon, he..." Before I finished speaking, I stopped, my mouth was open, what did I say, what did I just say?
The smile on Qi Shuli’s face said no, his brows were twitching, “Okay, that’s really good, not to mention running around the streets with my woman, and even swiping my card, he is really poor, how could I be so poor in this life? Come across such a nemesis, tomorrow I will take you to his houseboat to see how shabby he is!"

The next day was the weekend, he didn't go to the company, and took me to the houseboat in Gengmochi after breakfast.

It was still very early in the day, and the lake area was quiet. The lake surface was filled with thin mist, and mandarin ducks in twos and threes were swimming leisurely in the water, cuddling each other, as if they had just woken up.The white boat house in Gengmochi is parked on the shore, it is very eye-catching and very grand. At this moment, I am already a little skeptical. Is it really shabby inside?

After all, Qi Shuli was still a gentleman. After leading me onto the deck, he knocked on the door politely: "Good morning, may I come in?"

I thought he was going to break in.

"Who?" was Geng Mochi's voice, clear and full of magnetism.

"Your neighbor."

Neighbor?He can really get close.When the door opened, Geng Mochi was surprised at first, then smiled, and made a gesture of invitation, "Good morning, welcome two honored visitors."

He didn't seem to be surprised by our sudden visit at all. Did he expect Qi Shuli to be on his boat?His appearance today is really eye-catching. He is wearing a white loose sweater and beige corduroy pants. He looks like he has just washed his face. Bought in the boutique.He knew I was looking at his necklace, and when Qi Shuli wasn't paying attention, he winked at me.

This is his shabby houseboat?
I stood at the door and almost fell to the ground. This is not a place where people live. It is simply... a small museum. The floor is covered with thick beige brushed carpets, Indian patterns are very eye-catching, and the ceiling and walls are inlaid. The wallpaper with dark patterns is very luxurious; the furniture is all white, and the decorations on it can be seen to be of high value. The thousand-dollar water glass he put in my house seems to be a piece of cake; this is obviously the living room, There is a piano by the window, and a set of pure white wool sofa is placed facing the TV wall. The cushion he brought to my house is undoubtedly the same set, and the sofa cushion is covered with a whole piece of wool. The white one was the fur of an unknown animal. I sat on it tremblingly, feeling like a princess from a certain European court. Qi Shuli sat down opposite me, his eyes fell on my face, and asked what I meant.I was so embarrassed that I couldn't bear it, I stared at Geng Mochi fiercely.

"Geng is really flattered that you two came to my humble house." Geng Mochi didn't look at me, and smiled at his old neighbor calmly.

"You're still called a 'humble house', isn't my place a thatched cottage?" Qi Shuli smiled half-smile, his eyes piercing.

These two gentlemen sat together, polite and dignified, with noble manners, nodding and smiling, a bit like a meeting between the two heads of state.Qi Shuli asked: "Listen to Cathy, are you bankrupt?"

"Yes."

"Is the damage serious?"

"They're all bankrupt, what else is serious?"

"Oh..." Qi Shuli looked around, his meaning was very clear, he lived in such a luxurious houseboat after being bankrupt.

"I think you may not understand what I mean, I mean I am emotionally bankrupt," Geng Mochi said with a long sigh, unhurriedly, "The fact is that I went bankrupt two years ago and lost my favorite, How can one not be desolate while wandering in a foreign country? Emotionally, I am a complete loser, and so is my marriage. Now I am no different from having nothing, no one takes me in, no one loves me..." He deliberately took He glanced at me.Qi Shuli noticed it, his face was very ugly, and he said coldly: "Is there anyone in Seattle who takes you in?"

Geng Mochi turned his eyes to his old neighbor's deadly enemy. He was arrogant and unruly just now, but he became sad and helpless in an instant, and his voice was so empty that he had no strength at all, "I know you won't let people take me in, and I don't have that extravagant hope. I just want to watch her from a distance and teach her to play the piano. This is just the last wish of a dying person. I will not destroy you or take you away, because I have nothing to do with my current state. I have the ability to give her happiness, I have self-knowledge, please rest assured about this."

Qi Shuli's expression became a bit complicated, apparently he didn't expect Geng Mochi to lower his posture, he looked at me, then at this "dying man", and fell into a long silence.

"Frankly speaking, I'm actually very grateful to you. The first time I secretly saw her by the lake, her complexion was ruddy and so radiant. She was completely different from the one who was so thin that she had only a few bones left two years ago, so I Knowing that you have taken good care of her in the past two years, you have given her what I can't give her, so I really have nothing to say about you. "

Geng Mochi's eyes were sincere, without the sharpness of tit-for-tat in the past, even Qi Shuli was surprised that such words came from the extremely arrogant Geng Mochi, Qi Shuli looked at him for a moment, sighed and shook his head.

"Geng Mochi, from the bottom of my heart, I sympathize with you and admire you. A seriously ill person who is still so persistent in love has come here after thousands of miles. If I refuse your request, it seems that I am too heartless. I'm afraid she will hate me too, but..."

"but what?"

"I'm really worried about you. It's not that I'm worried about what you will do to her. I believe in your character and her character. You won't do anything to embarrass me. But I just don't worry. Afraid that her heart will die on you again, it took me two years to make her healthy..."

Geng Mochi turned his gaze to me, "Kaoer, tell him, will your heart die on me?"

"Already dead."

"Yes, already dead." Geng Mochi threw my answer to Qi Shuli.He will pick up ready-made.

Qi Shuli glanced at the face of this "bankrupt" pianist, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Well, you can teach her to play the piano, but I have three rules."

"Please tell me, I will obey it."

"First, the class time should not exceed two hours a day, and I will ask Julia to keep an eye on it; second, you are not allowed to meet or go out privately except for learning the piano; third, you are not allowed to appear near my house except for class..."

I opened my mouth wide in surprise.

"Is there any more?" Geng Mochi asked.

"There are only these for the time being, if there are others, I will add them at any time."

"Okay, I promise."

"Can you do it? You know, if you violate any of them, I will cancel this agreement."

Geng Mochi was absent-minded for a moment, with a smile on his face, but sadness in his eyes, he nodded with certainty, "I promise you anything, even if I come to your house to clean the floor, as long as I can teach her to play the piano every day." .”

My eyes were hot, and I almost shed tears.mop the floor!The proud Geng Mochi, the mighty Geng Mochi, just for two hours a day to see each other, he actually lowered his noble head and let go of his dignity that is more noble than his life.Seeing him struggling so miserably was really unbearable to me, it felt more like a devastation.

Qi Shuli was obviously also shocked, looked at me, then at him, his expression was as stiff as a mottled stone statue, and he forced out a sentence: "Why, I want to know why..."

"I don't have time anymore. I don't have time to insist on my dignity. I don't have time to fight pointlessly with you. I can't do anything. The doctor said that I can only live for one year at most. What can I do in one year? Look at her, It is the only thing I can do for the rest of my life. Apart from that, I have nothing to do with myself, with life, including with her. I can only do this, and there is no other way."

……

I don't know how I got out of the houseboat. Although I tried hard to be strong, I still collapsed when I got to the shore, because the sound of the piano coming from his houseboat was clearly from the movie "Sleepless in Seattle" The theme song "When I Fall in Love".The sad sound of the piano seems to come from outside the sky, like a gust of wind, floating on the vast lake, tearing up the mist in the morning like weeping.

I squatted by the lake and covered my face and wept bitterly.

"You also said that your heart will not die on him, do you look like you are alive?" Qi Shuli stood beside him, angry and resentful.I held my head and waved to him, "Go, go, leave me alone for a while."

"I'm afraid you'll die here."

"Then let me die here."

"Am I really much worse than him?"

"I don't want to say, I don't want to say anything, you go, please go!"
