aren't we in love

Chapter 8 What is not available is always the best.

Cheng Duanwu didn't speak all the time, she lowered her head, her bangs covered her expression.When she looked up again, she only saw Lu Yingqin's resolute back. For a moment, she even lost her mind.Lu Yingqin's expression and voice were cold, just like every day in his memory.

Thinking back now, Lu Yingqin had never given her a good look, nor had he ever been gentle to her.But why did she just recognize him to death and love him so desperately?

She thought, maybe people treat love a bit cheaply, right?The more people hurt her, the more she remembered them.

What is not available is always the best.

If it weren't for the earth-shaking changes in her life, she might never wake up, right?Even now, she doesn't have the confidence to say that she no longer loves him at all.She was just finally willing to face the reality, the fact that Lu Yingqin would never love her.

She restrained the last trace of fragile expression, raised her head and smiled slightly at Yu Dong who was watching over her with concern, and pretended not to care and said, "Let's go?"

Yu Dong looked at her with worry and hesitation in his eyes, and after a while he asked in a low voice: "Dragon Friday... are you okay?"

Cheng Duanwu took a deep breath, and now she is a thousand times calmer than before, "Brother Yu Dong, I should ask you this question, are you okay? I'm sorry because I was hurt and ruined."

Yu Dong felt distressed for a while, and his brows were tightly frowned, his voice was a little hoarse: "Duan Wu, don't be stupid."

Cheng Duanwu shook her head, she suppressed her faint smile, tried her best to calm down the sadness in her heart, and said to Yu Dong gently: "I'm used to this kind of situation. Mr. Lu has not treated me like this for a day or two. , what else is there to care about? I have already stayed away from him according to his wishes, but the earth is round after all, I can't guarantee that I will never meet him, can I?"

"Dragon Friday..."

Cheng Duanwu breathed out lightly, and said with infinite relief: "I have to face it. Since you dare to take me to live together, you should think about it? I don't care about you, so don't care about it." She tugged at Yu Dong's hand, "Brother Yu Dong, I'm not wronged, really. After so many years, I've already figured it out. Mr. Lu..." She paused: "It's someone I can't reach, I couldn't recognize him before. Now I figure it out, really."

She smiled sincerely at Yu Dong, the smile gradually spread from the corner of her mouth to her eyes, she had never been so relieved like now, she had followed Lu Yingqin's wishes, no longer had any illusions, and did not pester him anymore, No matter how much he hated her, she could only go so far, and he had to solve the rest, right?

Yu Dong grabbed Cheng Duanwu's hand with his backhand, looked at her firmly, and said solemnly: "Duanwu, I don't have Lu Yingqin's skills, but I will do my best to treat you well. From now on, as long as I have Yes, I'll give you everything. Some people we can't afford to mess with, just hide away, as long as you're not too useless, can we get out of here?" Like a great architect, he excitedly sketched out a beautiful blueprint , "Leave here, we start a new life."

Cheng Duanwu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, she tilted her head to look at him, and responded softly: "Okay."

Yu Dong took Cheng Duanwu around several times before sending her home.What she rented was a messy low-rise building, and the dark and crooked narrow alleys. Yu Dong's car couldn't drive in, so Cheng Duanwu had to get out of the car early and walk back.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Dong hurriedly leaned out and called her, "Dragon Boat Festival!"

He called in a hurry, but he didn't know what to say, but he was extremely reluctant to let Cheng Duanwu go back like this.Cheng Duanwu turned her head, her black hair made her white face seem to be glowing and gentle, she smiled faintly, "What's wrong?"

Yu Dong faltered for a long time, and only choked out a sentence: "Be careful on the road, and call me when you get back."

Hearing his sincere concern, Cheng Duanwu felt warm in his heart.She stood where she was, "Brother Yu Dong, I'll watch you go."

"what?"

"It's okay, you always take care of me, let me watch you leave today, and then go back."

Yu Dong didn't refuse, he scratched his hair, said goodbye like a stupefied boy, started the car and left.

Seeing Yu Dong's car melt into the night, Cheng Duanwu smiled slightly.The cool night breeze blew on her face, relieving her tension of the day.A nerve that had been tugging in her head was relaxed, and she felt much happier all over her body.She looked up at the stars in her eyes, and felt that everything was so beautiful. She thought that suffering would always have an end.

She hadn't taken two steps with her bag in hand when she was startled by a call.The narrow alleys without street lights looked very gloomy.

"Cheng Duanwu!" A deep male voice made Cheng Duanwu's back break out in cold sweat.She took out her mobile phone and took a picture with the weak light. A black shadow not far away made her feel a little familiar. She squinted her eyes and looked at it, and finally asked tentatively: "Brother? Is it you?"

Cheng Luoming stood still, holding the flashlight in his hand tightly, but didn't turn it on. The faint moonlight poured on him and Cheng Duanwu, reflected in the uneven puddles on the slightly damp ground With the hazy moon shadow.

At this moment, a deadly silence spread between the two siblings.

Cheng Duanwu was a little confused, "What's the matter? Didn't you bring a flashlight when you came out? You didn't say a word. Why are you standing there?"

Cheng Luoming looked at Cheng Duanwu fixedly, and asked coldly, "Who brought you back just now?"

Cheng Duan smiled, "Brother Yu Dong, don't you know him too?"

Cheng Luoming exploded, "Cheng Duanwu, are you crazy! You ran out happily these few days, just to go out with that boy Yu Dong? Cheng Duanwu, why don't you have a long memory? You have to get involved with Lu Yingqin ?”

"I didn't!" Cheng Duanwu gradually realized his brother's misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: "Now Brother Yu Dong doesn't follow Lu Yingqin, he is doing foreign trade business by himself."

"So what?" Cheng Luoming sternly scolded: "What's the relationship between Yu Dong and Lu Yingqin? Will he leave Lu Yingqin? Are you stupid or do you think I'm a fool? Don't think that I don't know how much you are thinking and want to rely on me." Do you want Yu Dong to see Lu Yingqin? Cheng Duanwu, are you still shameless? Do you know what shame is? Did Lu Yingqin humiliate you enough? Don’t you know how to have a long memory?"

Every reprimand from her brother was like a throat-cutting sharp knife, and Cheng Duanwu was almost speechless. Her heart trembled, and bitterness surged up. She didn't know how to explain it, so she could only argue feebly : "I don't, I just want to start a new life..." Tears slipped down silently, falling drop by drop into shallow puddles on the ground, Cheng Duanwu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he almost broke down in tears, "Brother Yu Dong ...He said he was willing to marry me...Brother, you know that no one wants to marry me...Brother, I am just a woman, and I feel tired after a long time, and I want to find a man to marry, I It took so many years to atone for my past mistakes, isn't it enough? Now there is a man who is willing to marry me, can't he?"

Cheng Duanwu's crying rang in his ears with the night wind, and Cheng Luoming felt so regretful that his heart ached.He hasn't seen Cheng Duanwu so fragile for many years.For so many years, he has become accustomed to Cheng Duanwu's aggressive appearance, so he was caught off guard by such a clear confession.

"Dragon Boat Festival..." He held the flashlight tightly and suppressed the trembling in his throat: "It's not that my brother won't let you marry. Yu Dong and you are really not suitable. If you are with him, you will never be able to be with Lu Yingqin for the rest of your life." Cut off the relationship. Winter has been given to him, I don't want you to fall into it again, do you understand?"

"Brother, I have nothing but this worthless heart. In the past, I held it up in front of Lu Yingqin eagerly. How much did he disdain me? Now even this heart is dead. What else do we have to fear? "

"..." Cheng Luoming finally accepted Cheng Duanwu's decision silently.Over the years, he has also gotten used to the decision of following the Dragon Boat Festival.

After Cheng Tianda passed away, their brother and sister have been dependent on each other.He is sick and unable to share the burden of life with Cheng Duanwu. He has always hoped that a sincere man can take care of his sister for him, but for so many years, no such person has appeared.As time passed, they gradually became desperate.

Flesh and blood, why can't he understand Cheng Duanwu's humble and pitiful wish?

He knew that Yu Dong was not the most suitable person, but he couldn't bear to hit Cheng Duanwu again. She was already tired enough. He only hoped that this time, God would really take pity on his ill-fated sister.
