Marriage pet: marrying a thousand gold

Chapter 398 Obliterated by Time, Memories - Su and Joe (1)
By implication, everyone won't be here tonight?
Su Ningxue was not unhappy at all, she just told her to be careful on the road and hung up the phone.

Alone, facing a table of delicious food, she blinked her eyes, then got up and went to the living room to get the candles and candlesticks that she had prepared, and placed them in the center of the table.

While lighting the candles, Su Ningxue turned off the lights, and the dimly lit apartment was illuminated by the candlelight. The light was vague, but it also added a bit of monotonous romance.

Su Ningxue opened a bottle of red wine at the table, filled her glass, then shook the glass gently, watching the wine-red liquid inside sparkle with golden and soft light under the candlelight.

"Happy birthday." She muttered softly, and then took a sip of red wine.

Astringent, poured into the throat, hot and uncomfortable, until the entire stomach was scalded.

She got up slowly, walked to the window, overlooking the bustling night scene, different from the cold loneliness in the empty apartment, she drank red wine sip after sip, indulged herself to get drunk like this.

The anti-theft door of the apartment made a slight sound, and the light from the corridor spilled in through the crack of the door.

Su Ningxue looked back subconsciously, and a slender figure appeared at the door. Under the dim light, his body was half hidden in the shadow, but he looked even taller and taller.

Her heart was hit hard, and her fingers clenched the goblet tightly.

Qiao Nan's appearance here was beyond her expectation, he could not come in unless...

Su Ningxue quickly realized why the others didn't come all of a sudden. She looked up at the door, and Qiao Nan's brows and eyes became distant and blurred. She couldn't see clearly, but she knew that he didn't seem happy.

She stared at his figure in a daze, and that figure grew bigger and bigger in her pupils.

Until...he stood a meter away from him.

Su Ningxue's eyes blinked, she didn't know what to say, so she nodded at him, turned around and walked to the dining table, she wanted to put down the wine glass in her hand, but her wrist was clasped by an overturned hand.

"What?" She couldn't help but frowned and looked at him.

When had he ever been so rude to her?
The grip on her hand made her feel pain.

"Why don't you stay with me?" In the flickering candlelight, his eyes were burning and his tone was stubborn.

The blood in Su Ningxue's whole body froze for a moment, avoiding his eyes, and said: "I am not young anymore, and I can't afford such things as feelings..."

"What about 28 years ago? Su Ningxue, if time could be restarted, wouldn't you at that time come to me again?" His eyes were as cool as a dark night, but his tone became extraordinarily sharp.

Candles on the dining table, a cold wind blowing through the crack of the door, the flickering candles struggled in the darkness, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke, and the whole apartment suddenly fell into a dead night...

Su Ningxue looked at the angry face in the darkness in a daze, but a faint pain slipped through her heart.

She turned her head and looked at the occasional neon lights outside the window. The colorful and psychedelic light swept across her slightly pale face, and also reflected sparkling water waves in the tears floating in her eyes.

However, Qiao Nan's stubbornness also carries Qiao Nan's exclusive color——

Silent, transparent, soundless.

He was like a clean spring placed at her feet, but she didn't dare to lower her head to scoop up a handful.

When he stood in front of her again and again, she would rather understand it as a coincidence than believe that every chance encounter near Jin's was his deliberate waiting.

He seems to handle it well every time, without causing any psychological burden to her, rationalizing everything that is too coincidental, so that she can deceive herself, and the encounter after 28 years is just because the city is too small.

But now, the gentle Qiao Nan in his memory has become stubborn and strong.

He no longer just knows how to follow her. When she is painting, when she stretches out her hand, he will hand over a paint. The tacit understanding between the two is self-evident.

However, she knew one thing from the first time she met Qiao Nan: they couldn't be together.

The declining Qiao family would not be within the scope of her father's choice of a good son-in-law.

Qiao Nan can only be her book boy and companion, but the student her father trained will not be her husband.

It was also because she knew this all the time, so she didn't expect anything from the beginning to the end.

She also thought that he would choose to remain silent for the rest of his life and bury this feeling deep in his heart...

Outside the concealed anti-theft door, there was a "ding" sound from the elevator door, and the sound of passing footsteps disturbed her mood.

There was a sound of fireworks exploding outside the window, and the gorgeous sparks embellished the black night.

There was only silence in the apartment, and the lights were not turned on. In the darkness, the whole world seemed to be quiet.

Su Ningxue lowered her eyes, but her ears were full of his suppressed and angry panting breath, the hot air brushed her face as if there was nothing, and there was a faint smell of tobacco, which made her heart tremble uncontrollably.

In the darkness, he was so close to her, so close that her heart ached.

Tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes uncontrollably, Su Ningxue clenched her lips tightly, not letting herself choke up, thinking that if she didn't think about it, she would forget it, that as long as she didn't see him, she could completely submerge that guilt in time.

But, no, I didn't forget it at all, on the contrary, it became clearer and clearer.

These days, the sadness that Midnight Dream recalled was all because of this man in front of him.

Tears dripped down on his hand holding her wrist, and Qiao Nan only felt a burning pain in the mouth of a tiger. He couldn't see her in the dark, but because he couldn't see her, his heart ached even more uncontrollably.

"The half month 28 years ago, was it a stain in your life for you? You want to forget it completely? Su Ningxue, since you want to forget it, why do you still give me hope? Why do you really like to drink coffee when you know that I will wait downstairs at Jin’s and show up at the opposite coffee shop on time every day? Or...you just don’t want me to waste more time waiting you?"

"I..." Su Ningxue became speechless, but her tears fell even more fiercely.

As if being peeked at the secret in her heart, she raised her hand and hastily wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

However, the more she rubbed, the more she couldn't control it, and her body couldn't help trembling slightly. When he keenly discovered the filthy thoughts she was desperately trying to cover up, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it.

He stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed her shoulder accurately in the darkness. With such great strength, his fingers bent, as if they were about to embed into her flesh. she.
