Chapter 23

For the next few days, Nie Yang did not appear again.Ye Luo even began to wonder if that night was a hallucination caused by her brain burning out.But sometimes she unconsciously looks for him in newspapers or on TV, and when she wakes up, she always frightens herself.

And since that day, she and Qian Li have rarely been together.Even if we met face to face, we couldn't say a few words.She sensitively noticed that his brows were deeply furrowed.She was a little worried, but it was not convenient to ask.

What's even weirder is her parents. They come to see her frequently and always ask some strange questions.There was an obvious look of worry on his face, and his brows were deeply knitted.She asked many times and they refused to say anything.I just vaguely know that the matter seems to be related to the mysterious person who suddenly appeared in the mall that day.

Ye Luo felt that all of a sudden, everyone around her became strange.She was confused, but could not get any answers.

In the dead of night, she would occasionally think of that domineering man.Thinking of the embrace that night, I couldn't help but turn on the computer and open the game.I just randomly clicked it a few times, and found it boring, so I closed it angrily.

After getting off work this day, when he saw Qian Li as soon as he walked out of the office, Ye Luo was stunned for a long time before waking up. "Find me?"

With his coat on his arm, he nodded slightly as he watched him. "Are you free? Let's have dinner together."

Ye Luo guessed that he probably wanted to talk to her, so he agreed.Originally, she planned to see Senior Sister Li Yan.She and Lei Chu were still dragging their feet, showing off their affection in front of others, but feeling sad behind them.

They drove to the restaurant they used to go to.It was dinner time and there were many guests.They didn't have a reservation and waited a while outside the door for a table.During this period, he met several acquaintances, exchanged pleasantries in a boring way, and was looked at with ambiguous eyes many times.

"What do you want to eat?" Ye Luo opened the menu and asked habitually.

"Whatever." He leaned back on the chair, smoked a cigarette, and compared. "you do not mind?"

Ye Luo looked at his wrinkled brows, shook her head, and then lowered her head to look at the menu.She knows that smoking is the most common thing men do when they are troubled.

"What, are you busy recently? You seem to be very tired." Since they met, it seemed that it was the first time she saw Qian Li who was so listless.Apart from career difficulties, the only thing that can trouble a man like him is his feelings.And as far as he knew, his consortium was still making a lot of money recently.

Maybe it has something to do with the couple I saw that day.

He exhaled lightly, and smiled.That smile does not reach the eyes. "fine."

Ye Luo clearly saw the confusion in his eyes through the smoke.Such a decisive and steady man can have such a fragile expression.The advent of what love is!

"Ye Luo..." He suddenly extinguished the cigarette in his hand, calling her hesitantly.

"Huh?" Ye Luo raised her eyebrows and looked into her confused and distressed eyes.This person must be too suffocated, so I want to find someone to talk to her about.

After another moment of silence, he confided slowly. "If a person once betrayed you mercilessly, and one day he turned around, would you forgive him?"

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.forgive me?she does not know.In fact, he still couldn't let go of that person, but even though the scar had scabbed over, it might still hurt, so he was at a loss.In the vast sea of ​​people, it is not easy to meet someone you love.But being hurt so deeply, can you really believe so bravely again?Even if it is possible, can it get out of the shadow of the past?
"I..." She was about to answer when she suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

The sound stopped abruptly, and I was stunned.

Although it was just a profile, she still recognized that it was Jiang Ruichen.

He was walking towards the door of the restaurant with a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He should be meeting a customer.

I remember that he used to meet clients, and sometimes he liked to take her with him.She didn't like dealing with those people, so she sat next to them, ordered something, ate slowly and waited for him.

Every time she quietly watched him discuss with others confidently and calmly, her heart throbbed inexplicably.She would think, maybe he is not the most perfect in this world, but he is someone who loves her deeply and for him, and she will stay with him for the rest of her life with gratitude like this.

It's just that I experienced this similar scene again today, as if everything was yesterday, but it is already the past that can only be recalled and cannot be turned back.

"Why?" Qian Ligang wanted to ask when he couldn't get an answer, and noticed her gaze.Turning around, he saw that person.

Ye Luo was so startled by his voice that she came back to her senses, she shook her head and raised the corners of her mouth in a daze. "fine."

He lowered his head, unwilling to look again.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Perhaps when she was emotionally turbulent like this, that answer was the most authentic.No matter how rational a person is, he always speaks the truth when he is most irrational.

Ye Luo didn't look up, she took the cup and touched it in her hands, staring at the brown liquid. "Actually, I don't know. Although it is the same ending, the details and reasons are different after all. I don't know how to answer. I think, whether it is to leave a person or get close to a person, it is mostly because it is right to do so. It's better for yourself. So, is it also fair to say that if it makes life easier for you to forgive her and accept her again, then forgive her; if not, then don't look back."

"What about you? Do you still want to go back to him?" He turned around, and the man had already left.But he knew, she understood.

Maybe it was because he was too direct, Ye Luo looked up in surprise, and looked away from him again.After a long silence, she pursed her lips and exhaled lightly, her chest was pressed by a heavy air current.

Slightly bending her smile, she slowly said: "Maybe I've forgiven him long ago. However, forgiveness and returning to him are two different things. I know I don't have that kind of heart, even if he reformed and turned to me wholeheartedly. , I'm afraid I can't help that everything in the past has never happened. Since there is a knot in my heart, how far can the two go? So I have to leave, no matter how sad I am."

"But you still can't let him go completely?" Her loss of focus just now is the best proof.

"Yeah. Many people at my age have had several relationships. But I have only this one person from the beginning to the end, and he has long been the most important part of my life. It can even be said that like me I don't have a strong sense of professionalism, and I don't have many hobbies, he is almost everything to me..."

Ye Luo didn't go any further, fearing that if she said one more word, she would not be able to hold back her tears.Because the heart is already very sour.When I have no experience, I always think that everything can be chic, but when it happens, I realize that I am just a layman.

"If one day he is in trouble, will you help him?" It is not easy to be calm and relative, but it is probably impossible to be indifferent.

"Yes. Even if I still hated him at that time, I think I still will. Sometimes it is like this. Some people are destined to never let go of him for the rest of their lives. At most, there will be another person in later life. This person has been forced to a corner and dusted up. But if you really know about him, and you can still see him, how can you really treat him as a stranger?"

That was already a mark on my heart, and if I wanted to erase it, I had to goug out the flesh from my heart.who can?
"In this way, don't you think he is too cheap? Don't you feel that you are too cheap?" You know, what an insult!Just write it off like this, how can you swallow that breath?
Ye Luo laughed out of his serious look. "Because I lost face, because I was not reconciled? But if you want to help him at that moment, then listen to your inner thoughts. As for the regret afterwards, you can save it and face it later."

Qian Li looked at him, but couldn't see her.After a while, he suddenly laughed. "I'm not as free and easy as you."

Ye Luo also laughed, but shook her head. "That's because you are better than me. Ordinary people always have simpler ideas, so they are less concerned about it."

"Then if I say I want to go first now, will you care?"

"Please."

Qian Li smiled, picked up his clothes and walked out without saying a word.

Ye Luo drank tea, looked at his leaving back, and suddenly understood.The reason for his impulsive anger that day was definitely not what she thought.

One person quietly ate a lot of food for two people, and if he ate any more, his stomach would have problems, so Ye Luo stopped his chopsticks.Holding the bulging belly, there is a feeling of contentment.

Perhaps it was because during the question and answer with Qian Li just now, she found that she was able to face the matter between her and Jiang Ruichen, although she hadn't been able to calm down yet.

Because she ate too much, Ye Luo decided to walk back to her parents' place.It's more than half an hour's journey, and by the time we get there, we should have almost digested it.

It's just that she didn't expect that she didn't get there after walking for an hour, because she stood up on her stomach and realized that her stomach was too full to leave, and she felt nauseous when she walked faster.In the end, he had no choice but to walk back slowly with his stomach in his arms, shaking his head and sighing while thinking about his stupidity.What a shame!

The house she rented for her parents was in the old city, and it was in a quiet neighborhood, not as lively as the new city.As it gets closer, there are fewer and fewer people on the road, and the lights are not so bright.So when two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, Ye Luo was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Call out the money!" a man said in a vicious voice, the knife in his hand gleaming coldly in the dark night.

The bag was snatched away, and Ye Luo, who had never experienced such a scene, was completely dumbfounded.I can only watch the gangster throw the bag to another person, the knife is still facing her.The contents of the bag were poured out, and she didn't have much cash on her, and she didn't bring her bank card, so that person was very dissatisfied.
