Trajectory 2: entangled curves

When Deng Qing found himself always looking for Zhuge Qinuo's shadow in Liu Yun, he began to re-examine this relationship. Of course, at that time, it was out of heartache for Liu Yun. Deng Qing felt that she should not become anyone's shadow because of him.

He tried to quietly learn more about Liu Yun. The more he understood her, the more strange things he found. In fact, there were many similarities, but in every similarity there were also some differences. These differences, when put together, became many differences. He laughed at himself. They were originally two people, how could they be the same?

Today, he finally understood that to remain calm in complexity, to seek a way out in difficult situations, to savor loneliness in solitude, to stick to tranquility in noise... many people in the world may be able to do these, but Zhuge Qinuo is just a little better than others every time.

She filmed movies and met directors and actors who had their own fame and popularity, but she knew when to stop and did not try to climb up the ladder; she was splashed with ink on the spot, but did not collapse and was able to turn the tide; after her divorce, she did well in her career while teaching her children optimistically and positively, and no one ever complained about her ex-husband; she always understood her goals and what she wanted, and worked hard for them... All these little things included too much perseverance and self-reconciliation, like the rebirth of the phoenix, which ultimately made her unique and irreplaceable.

and so……

It’s not an exaggeration to say that “all he wanted from the beginning to the end was her.”

Deng Qing chuckled.

It was just too late for him to see all this. The current situation did not allow him to express anything to her properly. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, if they were really together, it would not be as simple as the embarrassment today for her, but would definitely be a disaster. It would be like a catastrophe for him, Zhuge Qinuo, Han Cheng and Han Xin.

"When you love someone, isn't it about making her happy? How can you let her be in danger and let her bear too much?" Deng Qing thought.

He was also surprised at his own thoughts.

Love! It has actually reached this level.

"Deng Qing?" Zhuge Qinuo's voice came into his ears.

"What's wrong?" Deng Qing said.

"You still don't have to take me home." Zhuge Qinuo said, "It's a bit too arrogant for you to drive your car to my basement at this time. Just drop me off on the side of the road where there are fewer people."

"Leave you alone?" Deng Qing knew she was worried about his car being followed. Although her previous words were quite touching, it was touching, but these people still had to do the same things as they should. But he wished he could always keep her by his side, and was very reluctant to leave her alone at this time.

Zhuge Qinuo: "I have asked Luo Ma to pick me up. I will go shopping first. I will also go to the hotel first. I will not go home right away."

Deng Qing also understood that this was her last protection for Han Cheng and Han Xin, so she did not insist on keeping her.

On the side of the road with few people. The car door opened and she got out. She turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, I need you to do me a favor!"

Deng Qing: "You say!"

Zhuge Qinuo: "I'll have to trouble you to use your people to spread the news for me tomorrow, saying that I'm going abroad to seek some quiet time."

"Do you really want to go out?" Deng Qing asked.

Zhuge Qinuo: "You have to go. I'll tell you when the flight time is booked."

"Okay!" Deng Qing said, "For the children?"

"I hope this can reduce the impact on Chengcheng and Xinxin." Zhuge Qinuo replied, "Although I don't care much, for a better transition, don't we have to do these things to make the drama of 'Empress Xi Returns to the Palace' a success?"

Zhuge Qinuo in front of him no longer had any expression on her face. Her entire face was covered by a mask and a hat, but her voice was still relaxed.

Deng Qing knew that her departure was not an escape, but an attempt to reduce the heat and occupy the moral high ground. She was no longer in the country, so there was no need for the paparazzi to follow her. If they followed her family, especially her children, it would be very immoral. At the same time, this roadshow also proved her identity as a "victim". She went abroad to tell her social circle - including but not limited to her various distant relatives and neighbors, clients, and parents of her children's classmates - that she went abroad to heal after being injured, and after returning, the matter was over, and no one should be so tactless as to bring it up in front of her again.

"Empress Xi returns to the palace"? She has played "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to its fullest. Deng Qing wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He said, "You can go ahead! I'll get someone to keep an eye on the family matters."

Zhuge Qinuo: "Don't..."

Before she finished refusing, Deng Qing added: "Don't worry, I will keep a low profile. I will protect Chengcheng and Xinxin." He knew this was what she cared about most.

"Okay!" Her "Okay" was full of gratitude.

Zhuge Qinuo walked alone on the street, crossed several streets, made sure that no one was following him, and confirmed his location with Luo Ma.

Mother Luo picked her up and took her to the booked hotel.

Back at the hotel, she let down her guard. She looked so ugly in the mirror. She leaned in closer, and the edge of the ink seemed to be seeping down along the texture of her skin.

She slowly raised her hand to touch it, and she smiled.

As she laughed, her tears flowed, and the ink on her face was spread and slid down her neck.

Walking into the shower room, warm water sprayed down from the top of her head, wrapping her completely, as if she was isolated from the world, and washing away everything about her.

She cried and washed over and over again. Her skin was so sore from washing that she couldn't tell whether she was crying because of the grievance in her heart or the pain in her body.

Finally, she was clean.

Every inch of skin has undergone a baptism. There is no more black ink, only red from repeated scrubbing.

Zhuge Qinuo wrapped herself in a bath towel. Without even blowing her hair, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep. She stopped crying, because the time she had given herself to cry was over.

Put away your emotions and summon your rationality.

She felt that she had not wronged Deng Qing too much, they were more than friends but less than lovers. They had pushed each other to the limit, but she had avoided and played dumb in that push and pull to stay awake.

Perhaps, this is the best outcome. She traded her life for the peace of those around her. Deng Qing was saved, the children were saved, and Mi Bei was also saved.

There is a feeling of powerlessness of retiring after achieving success.

It's already like this, how can it get worse? There are still things, but she can't take care of them. She doesn't want to care about anything anymore and falls asleep.

When she woke up again, it was already midnight. She took out her phone, booked a flight, and told Deng Qing. She told Luo Ma to send Han Cheng and Han Xin to her parents. She told Zhuge Nan that she was leaving. She told Wu Shu about various things in the store.

After arranging everything, we started our journey.

No luggage except a chain bag.
