If this is not love
Chapter 37 The last second of the final chapter
Chapter 37 The Last Second of the Finale (1)
In the grand and festive auditorium, Ruxu finally welcomed the waiting people at the last critical moment, and the expression of joy was overflowing.It's just that Yichen was in a hurry, with a sense of melancholy suppressed between his brows.
She rushed over, unable to hide her concern: "Where did you go? We waited for you so anxiously."
Yichen smiled apologetically, and immediately went to the room to change clothes.Ruxu followed closely without avoiding suspicion, and asked as she walked, "Did something happen to you? Why did Tan Shaojie and Shen Yitang know about it, but they just didn't want to say it? Why did they deliberately hide it from Xin Ning and me? It made us worry all the time. "
After Yichen changed into the dress, he touched her hair gently, and there was an emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand.He sighed: "Xiao Xu, when did you become a problem baby? No matter what happened, I finally came here."
Ruxu bit her lips: "I care about you. I'm late and can't get through the phone... Tan Shaojie is mysterious and secretive, and he doesn't reveal a word. I don't know when the two of you will get close." Chen is regarded as a rival in love, how could he suddenly become an irreversible friend?She didn't know that it was precisely because the two men had the same sincere love for her that they let go of their barriers and became friends who didn't need to talk too much.
Yichen lowered his hands, smiled bitterly, and said earnestly: "Xiaoxu, I really don't want you to hurt another person who cares about you when you care about me. Although I haven't known him very long and haven't had much contact with him, I It can be said with certainty - it is difficult for someone to love you more than him, and it is also difficult for someone to be more worthy of your love than him. So, Xiaoxu, look clearly, don't ignore the happiness that is close at hand because of me, don't be stubborn You blinded your feelings because of your heart. Tan Shaojie is worth your effort, he is the man who will give you all the happiness."
Ruxu lowered her head, speechless for a moment.Her heart constricted uncomfortably, as if a string was pulling, which made her ache.
They hurried back to the auditorium, just in time, the wedding march was playing the first note.Xin Ning held flowers in her hands, with a sweet smile all over her face.Shen Yitang was in high spirits, holding his beloved wife by the arm.
Yichen bent his arms and nodded towards Ruxu.Seeing that the fireworks on his chest were a little skewed, Ruxu couldn't help but reach out to straighten him.The reporter next to him quickly pressed the shutter and captured this warm and natural picture in time.She took Yichen's arm, and couldn't hide her excitement and tension just like Xinning. The warm march was accompanied by elegant steps. Two pairs of young men and women with outstanding looks slowly appeared in front of everyone, and warm applause rang out. .
For Ruxu, the short ten-meter red carpet is of great significance to be able to walk with the most precious friends in life.She thought that after today, she would have no regrets about her feelings for Yichen.
Walking through the red carpet, standing on the podium with the bride and groom, looking for them in the crowd calmly.
Yichen's words just now caused a huge shock in her heart, as if the suppressed and buried feelings were suddenly lifted, and she could no longer escape.
Xin Ning said: Tan Shaojie's feelings for you are true.
Yichen said: It's hard for anyone to love you more than Tan Shaojie...
Tan Shaojie said: I love you!
...
Ruxu's fingers were cold, and she couldn't help but clenched tightly.She didn't know how to express it, since Tan Shaojie disappeared, she also felt uneasy, and quietly looked around for him several times, but she didn't see him.he's gone?
She remembers saying—"It's good that you disappeared!"
She remembers saying—"No! There's never even the slightest chance of falling in love with you, selfish bastard!"
...
These words echoed in my ears over and over again, but I couldn't suppress them, they came out from all directions like a curse, and my head hurt from the shock.Well, her tone to Tan Shaojie just now was indeed a bit harsh, and after she calmed down, she felt that she shouldn't be so cold and severe, but he wouldn't be angry and run away because of this, right?
No, no... She immediately comforted herself, saying that more than three sentences would inevitably lead to turmoil, confrontation and disputes have always been the characteristics of their relationship, if he was so easily pissed off, he would not have survived until today.Although she often scolds him for being petty and selfish, she will admit in private that he actually has a strong heart of tolerance, which is why she has repeatedly tolerated her many rudeness...
The newlyweds exchange rings, kiss to confirm their love, and the wedding ceremony ends...
Ruxu was in a daze, but Yichen lightly touched his arm: "The newcomers are starting to toast, get back to your senses soon."
Oh!She was distracted, she was actually distracted by Tan Shaojie!
Shen Yitang was worried that Xin Ning was too tired, so she asked her to go to the room to rest first, Xin Ning shook her head with a smile.So, they began to toast each table, and the guests raised their glasses to congratulate, but Tan Shaojie still did not show up.
Ruxu squeezed out a smile, and followed behind with Yichen.However, Tan Shaojie's appearance appeared strangely in his mind.She remembered his last face as cold as ice, and his bottomless eyes.It's strange, she obviously didn't look at him at the time, why did she remember his expression so clearly?
She tried her best to suppress her random guesses, annoyed how could Tan Shaojie be so troublesome, causing herself to worry about both Yichen and him?This situation is too inexplicable, almost out of control.
"Don't be brave if you can't drink." Yichen kindly reminded her when he saw her complexion.
"Well...it's okay." Ruxu regained consciousness and whispered in his ear, "I asked the master of ceremonies to help pour the same thing as Xinning." Xinning was pregnant and drank tea.
"That's good." Yichen nodded, he always cared about his father, so he tried to drink as little as possible.
Half an hour later, the wedding came to an end, and Xin Ning went back to the room to rest.Yichen greeted Shen Yitang, and hurried to the hospital.
Ruxu stopped him in time, her eyes were sparkling and there was moisture.
"You still don't want to tell me what happened?"
"Hehe, you! You're more worried than Xinning." Yichen nodded her head and looked relaxed, "Lingjiang invited me to the Spring Festival Gala, let me go to the rehearsal today."
"Really?"
"Well, really." He didn't lie to her, he just kept his father's accident undisclosed, "Remember to go to Tan Shaojie to say thank you, if it wasn't for him, I might miss the appointment with you... Well, anyway, remember to thank him. I I'm leaving."
Ruxu knew that he was hiding something, but she respected his privacy and watched him leave, a corner of her heart gradually calmed down, relieved, and relaxed.
He grabbed the phone in his hand and pressed Tan Shaojie's number.
"Your call was not answered..."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later." Who is he talking to?
After a moment, continue.
"Please leave a message after the beep, and the voicemail will be transferred to you..."
This was the fifth call Ruxu made, but the other party refused to respond, and the mechanical reply from the system made her feel even more upset.It was obviously a good day, everyone was laughing, but Tan Shaojie wanted to affect her mood.I don't know how many times I complained, and restrained myself not to look for him again, but within 2 minutes, she couldn't help pressing the phone button again.
This time, the reply to her was - "Sorry, the phone you dialed is turned off."
Ruxu frowned tightly, stuffing the phone into her bag.What the hell is Tan Shaojie doing?The big deal is waiting for him to come back, she just apologizes, but is it a proper etiquette to quit halfway through someone's wedding?Yichen said he wanted to thank him, why?
In the bright and spacious room, there is a faint sunlight penetrating from the window sill, but it does not warm the surrounding air at all.
Tan Shaojie stared fixedly at Duotong's missed calls, his eyes dark and uncertain, he suddenly pursed his thin lips, turned off the phone, and threw it into the corner of the sofa.Get up and call your father on the landline.
"Stinky boy, why are you calling again? Don't you trust your father? I just came out of the police station, and I have a general understanding of the situation. Now I am rushing to the hospital to meet that kid from the Wang family. I heard that his father has woken up." Anyway, don't worry, it's rare for a son to ask his father for something, as long as he can help, he will do his best."
"Dad...thank you." Tan Shaojie choked up while holding the phone.
"I want to drive, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you! Leave the matter to me, so don't ask too many questions. Although I don't know why you have such a good intention to meddle in the Wang family's business, but the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year, you'd better seize the opportunity before using it." Work hard, work hard, and bring your daughter-in-law home for the New Year's Eve dinner!"
Tan Shaojie was speechless and hummed softly.The palms were warm, and the frozen heart was infiltrated with warmth because of his father's care.Turning around, he twisted his arm inadvertently, and the injured area immediately hurt hotly. He bared his teeth and walked into the bedroom.
When I woke up, it was already dark outside the window.
His forehead was burning hot, and his head was throbbing.The doctor told me not to touch the wound, and beware of fever at night.Once you feel uncomfortable, it is best to rush to the hospital for observation for a few days.
There was no light in the room, it was very quiet, and the sound of the wind whistling outside the window could be clearly heard.Tan Shaojie did not move, but lay quietly.In the darkness, his consciousness gradually became clear, but what appeared in front of his eyes was a lifelike and indifferent face.
"Alas..." After a long time, a sigh came from the room, and he was stunned, it was actually from himself.
When did young master Tan, who was galloping in love freely, sigh for a woman?
Tan Shaojie raised his lips in a self-deprecating manner. The more past events he carried in his head, the colder his heart that was ignored and trampled on the ground became.
"Whoosh—" A long sound broke his memory, and the children downstairs were playing sky cannons.From time to time, a few gorgeous fireworks exploded in the sky, illuminating the room.
It's New Year's Day the day after tomorrow!Make yourself so miserable for a woman?
Tan Shaojie forced himself to stand up, and walked into the kitchen to look for something to eat.There are eggs and instant noodles in the cabinet...
"Ding dong - ding dong -" the doorbell rang.He looked over in surprise. In fact, there were very few guests here. His father shouldn't have appeared at this time. Since his mother gave him the key one day, she often came uninvited, and there was no need for a doorbell.Could it be Wei An?
He put down the half-soaked noodles and went to open the door.
How could it be her?Tan Shaojie couldn't believe his eyes. After a flash of surprise, there was bottomless indifference.
"Tan Shaojie, why are you..." As soon as the door moved, words came out of his mouth in crackling words, presumably he was already ready to speak.But her voice froze abruptly, and then she raised her voice in shock, "Tan Shaojie! What's wrong with you... What happened?"
His forehead was wrapped in white gauze, revealing faint bloodstains, and he was wearing a thick cotton pajamas, but it couldn't cover the arm hanging on his chest, and he looked obviously seriously injured.
Ruxu opened his mouth and forgot to breathe, quickly looked him up from head to toe, and said eagerly: "God! You're fine this morning, why are you..."
"What are you doing here?" Tan Shaojie cut her off expressionlessly.
"..." Ruxu opened her eyes wide, looking into his pupils in disbelief, only seeing a faint cold light that she had never seen before, as if she wanted to reject people thousands of miles away.
"What's the matter?" Tan Shaojie asked again, without any fluctuations in his voice.
"I..." Ruxu's throat was tight, and she couldn't utter a word hoarsely, "I'm here to find you, of course there's something wrong!"
Tan Shaojie didn't intend to let her in, just like when he came to her place before, she always blocked him from the door.It's just that her slender and petite body was no resistance at all, and every time he entered the room with a big thorn in the end.And when he was standing at this moment, it was like another wall, blocking the gap in the door tightly.
Ruxu was stunned, she had never seen such a resolute and cold look on him, she couldn't help but clenched her heart.She put away what she was going to say, and naturally expressed her concern: "Tan Shaojie...are you seriously injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, I won't die." Tan Shaojie replied with a fake smile, "Say something quickly."
"May I go in and sit down?" She pointed carefully inside, he looked so serious and strange, she couldn't help but feel afraid, and there was a strange pain that couldn't be restrained in the tension.
"No." His answer was very similar to her tone, and he was so ruthless when he refused the other party that he left no room for it.
Ruxu's face immediately collapsed, he was so hurt, she couldn't get angry, couldn't force her way, and couldn't control her tight breathing.Seeing him standing motionless, she had no choice but to act pitifully: "It's so cold outside, I came from the bus stop and walked a long way... My legs are so tired."
Tan Shaojie's handsome eyebrows moved slightly, and he quickly regained his composure, without any hint of thought.
"If you have this little time to dawdle with me, why not talk nonsense. If there is nothing special, I'm sorry, but I don't have the energy to entertain you." He took a step back and was about to close the door.
Ruxu hurriedly stretched out her hand and pressed it against the door panel, "I came here to ask about Yichen, and secondly...why are you injured?"
After finishing speaking, she suddenly regretted it, it was obviously not like this!She let go of her pride and self-esteem, and the most important purpose of showing up at his door in the cold night was to... to apologize, and perhaps to say thank you.She already knew something about Yichen from Shen Yitang, and she also got in touch with Yichen, so she didn't need to worry about anything.In short, when she was chatting with the bride, she was overwhelmed by Xin Ning's objective and sharp words, and came here in a hurry without thinking much.
"So concerned about Wang Yichen, I went to find him by myself. As for me—" Tan Shaojie laughed mockingly, "Thank you, I'm fine."
While she was in a daze, he firmly closed the door.
This woman, at this time, is she going to cut another knife in his heart?She is heartless!But forget it, fortunately he decided to let it go, let it go!I will no longer be hurt by her heartlessness in the future.
The sound of closing the door was very soft, but it was like a loud "bang", which stunned Ruxu.This was the first time he had rejected her, and in such a relentless manner, completely isolated her.
His indifference, like an invisible needle, was neither light nor heavy, piercing into her heart.
Ruxu took a deep breath, turned around and wanted to leave, but her footsteps stayed where she was, her fingers clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, and finally surrendered to herself.She only knew that at this moment, she couldn't help caring about him, wondering why he was hurt?Is it serious?Why not go to the hospital?Just now there was a faint smell of instant noodles, and he actually ate instant noodles at home alone...
The finger pressed the doorbell again and kept pressing it, in a way that was very similar to him before.
"Tan Shaojie, can you open the door? I have something to tell you!"
"Tan Shaojie, are you angry with me? Even if you are angry, don't act like this, let me in first!"
Tan Shaojie soaked the noodles and served them on the table.She has such a loud voice that it is difficult to teach him not to hear every word she says.It's just that she didn't seem to be able to get to the point. Is the reason for his death just because of her harsh tone?
This woman, the doorbell of his house is about to ring!She who cares about face is not afraid of attracting neighbors to watch?
well!It seems that if she doesn't open the door again, she won't give up.
"Tan Shaojie, are you really angry..." Her voice trembled slightly, "I apologize, I apologize to you! I was nervous and anxious in the morning, so I spoke a little harder. In fact, you are a magnanimous person, and you won't really talk to me. Care about, right?"
"Tan..."
The door opened again without warning, Tan Shaojie frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone, "I'm not angry, but if you insist on apologizing, I can reluctantly accept it."
"Tan...Tan Shaojie, can you stop talking to me in this tone?" He seemed to be joking, it was really cold, and she would feel chills on her back.
It's a pity that Tan Shaojie didn't mean to be joking, and he had nothing to say to her.
"What's wrong with my tone?" He shrugged, raised his eyebrows indifferently, and the scar on his cheek was particularly glaring.
Ruxu stared at his nonchalant face, for the first time she didn't know what attitude to use to face him.
"I sincerely apologize. What I said in the morning...I didn't mean that."
"What does that mean? Is it possible for you to fall in love with me?" She answered firmly at that time, without even the slightest hesitation.Without waiting for her to explain, he smiled softly, with a sour smile, and a thin layer of water shone in his eyes.Stretching out an uninjured hand to touch her hair, the movements were surprisingly gentle.To this day, does she still not understand?He was the one who was tempted at the beginning, he was willing to bear the pain of unrequited love.If he can love, he can bear it by himself. If he can't love, he doesn't need her to feel guilty or responsible.She never cared about it anyway, so why did she run over here just for an apology?
"Actually, there is nothing to apologize for, and I don't mind. Really. Maybe, you never understood me, whether it was the classmate 12 years ago, or all the days since we met again, you never thought about understanding me. But, it’s okay! I won’t pester you anymore to make you bored; I won’t say anything to make you suspicious; I won’t deliberately hurt you to tease you and make you angry. You don’t have to worry about being with me anymore When you meet acquaintances, you don't have to worry about being misunderstood, and you don't have to worry about me maliciously bullying you."
"Tan Shaojie..." She had never seen him so serious before, she hesitated to speak, her heart was filled with soreness and pain that was unfamiliar to her.As if all doubts were suddenly confirmed today, at this moment, she couldn't help but believe everything.He really loves her, not teasing, conquering, or bullying, but she...
Tan Shaojie's deep and hoarse voice sounded again.
"If you are still worried, I can pretend not to know each other when we meet on the road in the future, and no one will know... What happened to us in the past, and no one will put pressure on you and force the feelings you can't afford , so you can go?"
Pushing away her hand on the doorknob, she took the initiative to close the door for her, inside and outside the house, the last tie was completely broken, and the thread of love was completely broken.
From then on, he is him and she is her.
They can have many relationships, old classmates, colleagues, and friends, but they have nothing to do with those ambiguous relationships between men and women.
The Chinese New Year is busy and lively, and the sky over the city is filled with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ruxu was taken by her mother to a blind date dinner with a doctor. The doctor was indeed nice, with gentle and polite manners.For some reason, the four characters of "sanity" appeared in her mind, so she used the excuse to go to the bathroom and never returned.At night, Mother Wang was so angry that she almost hurt internally, she poked her forehead and taught her a lesson while sighing.
"You girl, you don't have any manners or rules, and you leave my old lady there alone to stand out. Could it be that apart from Wang Yichen, you really won't marry in this life?"
"Mom..." She was so wronged, but she didn't say that.
"The young man's appearance and temperament are similar to Yichen's. Don't you just like this type? You can understand it first and then develop slowly!"
Ruxu is speechless, how can that guy be compared with Yichen?Besides, she now... now seems to be more humorous, likes to make jokes, and occasionally practice the type of mouth with her, so that she who is accused of being cold and hard will have more fun.
well!Why did she think of Tan Shaojie again?In just a few days, I missed Tan Shaojie more than anyone else.
Does she...
A question that she couldn't avoid in the middle of the night, she told Tan Shaojie...
(End of this chapter)

He put down the half-soaked noodles and went to open the door.
How could it be her?Tan Shaojie couldn't believe his eyes. After a flash of surprise, there was bottomless indifference.
"Tan Shaojie, why are you..." As soon as the door moved, words came out of his mouth in crackling words, presumably he was already ready to speak.But her voice froze abruptly, and then she raised her voice in shock, "Tan Shaojie! What's wrong with you... What happened?"
His forehead was wrapped in white gauze, revealing faint bloodstains, and he was wearing a thick cotton pajamas, but it couldn't cover the arm hanging on his chest, and he looked obviously seriously injured.
Ruxu opened his mouth and forgot to breathe, quickly looked him up from head to toe, and said eagerly: "God! You're fine this morning, why are you..."
"What are you doing here?" Tan Shaojie cut her off expressionlessly.
"..." Ruxu opened her eyes wide, looking into his pupils in disbelief, only seeing a faint cold light that she had never seen before, as if she wanted to reject people thousands of miles away.
"What's the matter?" Tan Shaojie asked again, without any fluctuations in his voice.
"I..." Ruxu's throat was tight, and she couldn't utter a word hoarsely, "I'm here to find you, of course there's something wrong!"
Tan Shaojie didn't intend to let her in, just like when he came to her place before, she always blocked him from the door.It's just that her slender and petite body was no resistance at all, and every time he entered the room with a big thorn in the end.And when he was standing at this moment, it was like another wall, blocking the gap in the door tightly.
Ruxu was stunned, she had never seen such a resolute and cold look on him, she couldn't help but clenched her heart.She put away what she was going to say, and naturally expressed her concern: "Tan Shaojie...are you seriously injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, I won't die." Tan Shaojie replied with a fake smile, "Say something quickly."
"May I go in and sit down?" She pointed carefully inside, he looked so serious and strange, she couldn't help but feel afraid, and there was a strange pain that couldn't be restrained in the tension.
"No." His answer was very similar to her tone, and he was so ruthless when he refused the other party that he left no room for it.
Ruxu's face immediately collapsed, he was so hurt, she couldn't get angry, couldn't force her way, and couldn't control her tight breathing.Seeing him standing motionless, she had no choice but to act pitifully: "It's so cold outside, I came from the bus stop and walked a long way... My legs are so tired."
Tan Shaojie's handsome eyebrows moved slightly, and he quickly regained his composure, without any hint of thought.
"If you have this little time to dawdle with me, why not talk nonsense. If there is nothing special, I'm sorry, but I don't have the energy to entertain you." He took a step back and was about to close the door.
Ruxu hurriedly stretched out her hand and pressed it against the door panel, "I came here to ask about Yichen, and secondly...why are you injured?"
After finishing speaking, she suddenly regretted it, it was obviously not like this!She let go of her pride and self-esteem, and the most important purpose of showing up at his door in the cold night was to... to apologize, and perhaps to say thank you.She already knew something about Yichen from Shen Yitang, and she also got in touch with Yichen, so she didn't need to worry about anything.In short, when she was chatting with the bride, she was overwhelmed by Xin Ning's objective and sharp words, and came here in a hurry without thinking much.
"So concerned about Wang Yichen, I went to find him by myself. As for me—" Tan Shaojie laughed mockingly, "Thank you, I'm fine."
While she was in a daze, he firmly closed the door.
This woman, at this time, is she going to cut another knife in his heart?She is heartless!But forget it, fortunately he decided to let it go, let it go!I will no longer be hurt by her heartlessness in the future.
The sound of closing the door was very soft, but it was like a loud "bang", which stunned Ruxu.This was the first time he had rejected her, and in such a relentless manner, completely isolated her.
His indifference, like an invisible needle, was neither light nor heavy, piercing into her heart.
Ruxu took a deep breath, turned around and wanted to leave, but her footsteps stayed where she was, her fingers clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched again, and finally surrendered to herself.She only knew that at this moment, she couldn't help caring about him, wondering why he was hurt?Is it serious?Why not go to the hospital?Just now there was a faint smell of instant noodles, and he actually ate instant noodles at home alone...
The finger pressed the doorbell again and kept pressing it, in a way that was very similar to him before.
"Tan Shaojie, can you open the door? I have something to tell you!"
"Tan Shaojie, are you angry with me? Even if you are angry, don't act like this, let me in first!"
Tan Shaojie soaked the noodles and served them on the table.She has such a loud voice that it is difficult to teach him not to hear every word she says.It's just that she didn't seem to be able to get to the point. Is the reason for his death just because of her harsh tone?
This woman, the doorbell of his house is about to ring!She who cares about face is not afraid of attracting neighbors to watch?
well!It seems that if she doesn't open the door again, she won't give up.
"Tan Shaojie, are you really angry..." Her voice trembled slightly, "I apologize, I apologize to you! I was nervous and anxious in the morning, so I spoke a little harder. In fact, you are a magnanimous person, and you won't really talk to me. Care about, right?"
"Tan..."
The door opened again without warning, Tan Shaojie frowned slightly, and said in a calm tone, "I'm not angry, but if you insist on apologizing, I can reluctantly accept it."
"Tan...Tan Shaojie, can you stop talking to me in this tone?" He seemed to be joking, it was really cold, and she would feel chills on her back.
It's a pity that Tan Shaojie didn't mean to be joking, and he had nothing to say to her.
"What's wrong with my tone?" He shrugged, raised his eyebrows indifferently, and the scar on his cheek was particularly glaring.
Ruxu stared at his nonchalant face, for the first time she didn't know what attitude to use to face him.
"I sincerely apologize. What I said in the morning...I didn't mean that."
"What does that mean? Is it possible for you to fall in love with me?" She answered firmly at that time, without even the slightest hesitation.Without waiting for her to explain, he smiled softly, with a sour smile, and a thin layer of water shone in his eyes.Stretching out an uninjured hand to touch her hair, the movements were surprisingly gentle.To this day, does she still not understand?He was the one who was tempted at the beginning, he was willing to bear the pain of unrequited love.If he can love, he can bear it by himself. If he can't love, he doesn't need her to feel guilty or responsible.She never cared about it anyway, so why did she run over here just for an apology?
"Actually, there is nothing to apologize for, and I don't mind. Really. Maybe, you never understood me, whether it was the classmate 12 years ago, or all the days since we met again, you never thought about understanding me. But, it’s okay! I won’t pester you anymore to make you bored; I won’t say anything to make you suspicious; I won’t deliberately hurt you to tease you and make you angry. You don’t have to worry about being with me anymore When you meet acquaintances, you don't have to worry about being misunderstood, and you don't have to worry about me maliciously bullying you."
"Tan Shaojie..." She had never seen him so serious before, she hesitated to speak, her heart was filled with soreness and pain that was unfamiliar to her.As if all doubts were suddenly confirmed today, at this moment, she couldn't help but believe everything.He really loves her, not teasing, conquering, or bullying, but she...
Tan Shaojie's deep and hoarse voice sounded again.
"If you are still worried, I can pretend not to know each other when we meet on the road in the future, and no one will know... What happened to us in the past, and no one will put pressure on you and force the feelings you can't afford , so you can go?"
Pushing away her hand on the doorknob, she took the initiative to close the door for her, inside and outside the house, the last tie was completely broken, and the thread of love was completely broken.
From then on, he is him and she is her.
They can have many relationships, old classmates, colleagues, and friends, but they have nothing to do with those ambiguous relationships between men and women.
The Chinese New Year is busy and lively, and the sky over the city is filled with the atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ruxu was taken by her mother to a blind date dinner with a doctor. The doctor was indeed nice, with gentle and polite manners.For some reason, the four characters of "sanity" appeared in her mind, so she used the excuse to go to the bathroom and never returned.At night, Mother Wang was so angry that she almost hurt internally, she poked her forehead and taught her a lesson while sighing.
"You girl, you don't have any manners or rules, and you leave my old lady there alone to stand out. Could it be that apart from Wang Yichen, you really won't marry in this life?"
"Mom..." She was so wronged, but she didn't say that.
"The young man's appearance and temperament are similar to Yichen's. Don't you just like this type? You can understand it first and then develop slowly!"
Ruxu is speechless, how can that guy be compared with Yichen?Besides, she now... now seems to be more humorous, likes to make jokes, and occasionally practice the type of mouth with her, so that she who is accused of being cold and hard will have more fun.
well!Why did she think of Tan Shaojie again?In just a few days, I missed Tan Shaojie more than anyone else.
Does she...
A question that she couldn't avoid in the middle of the night, she told Tan Shaojie...
