Timeless Beauty

,excuse me, I……"

"Drink the soup." He interrupted him.

The two sat opposite each other, each with their own thoughts. He kept the sound of drinking soup to a minimum, but was still surprised by my question.

"Why are you approaching me?"

"What do you mean?"

I snorted coldly and stared at him abruptly, "Because of Dai Ling?"

He was stunned for a moment, his pupils were full of anxiety and surprise, "What are you talking about?"

"Is she really dead?"

This time it was his turn to sneer, "Dead? Did Li Chengjue say that? Huh, yes, only a guilty conscience is eager to admit that she is dead? He is the loser after all."

"So it's really because of her. Li Chengjuan didn't say that. I guessed it. I didn't ask, so I didn't dare to ask."

Zhang Ji was stunned for a while, his face became more and more haggard, and he asked, "You like him that much?"

"It's ridiculous. In your eyes, I am ridiculous, don't I?"

"Meixin, I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier, but..."

He hesitated to speak, looking forward to hearing the real answer, but hoped that he would continue to keep that secret, which had nothing to do with Huang Meixin's life.

The door suddenly rang, and it was my dad who came back again. He smiled panicked and said to me, "I lost my keys. Bring me yours. I'll go get some."

I said coldly, "Go get it yourself, it's in the drawer."

He replied, "I'm exhausted from running back." He dragged the chair and sat down, "Go quickly, I'll take a rest."

Walking into the house, my heart is full of complaints, my father is not like my father, but like a child who is ignorant of the world and can only play around.I took out the key and went out in a hurry, but saw that my father was talking to Zhang Ji with a serious expression on his face. When he saw me coming out, he immediately burst into a smile, took the key and hurried to go out.

"What did my dad tell you?"

Zhang Ji smiled and said, "It's nothing, let's chat for a while."

"You're not going to go on?"

"Say, what are you talking about, will bringing up old things change your mind? Will it make you leave Li Chengjuan?"

After a moment of silence, he slowly replied, "No matter who he loves, he is truly by my side and will always stay by my side."

He lowered his head, a vague smile flitted across his lips, "You're right, then... please be happy." Standing up abruptly, he seemed to see tears glistening at the corners of his eyes, but for sure You must have read it wrong.

Zhang Ji walked towards the door, his tall and stooped back looked extremely desolate, for some reason, there was a momentary throbbing pain in his heart, distressed, fleeting.

☆, fragment

I killed this secret myself, now I don't want to hear anything, I don't want to know anything about Dai Ling, as long as I keep this state.

After that day, Zhang Ji and I lived in peace, we just greeted each other normally, and kept silent about the past.

In front of Cheng Jue, I am still the Huang Meixin who loves him so much. Even if I have doubts, resentment, and heartache at a certain moment, I just let them flow in my blood, not in my tears.

～～～～～～～

The staff cafeteria became lively, and everyone's topic was unanimously around the president.Li Chengjue came here with great difficulty. He occupied a table by himself, and no one dared to sit beside him.Sitting with Shen Dan and the others, I met his half-smiling eyes from time to time.

I was really embarrassed by the look, so I got up to buy a cup of hot drink, but I still felt a burning gaze staring at me, but this time it came from the door.

Raising my head, I saw two girls who were about the same size, slim, and stylishly dressed were looking at me. I smiled politely back, and the girl in blue jeans suddenly jumped up with a startled laugh, and followed the quieter girl next to me. After saying something, he ran straight over.

I froze in place, waiting for her to approach.

The girl naturally took my hand, with a cheerful face on her youthful face, "I knew I was right, Boss, you are here!"

I was listening in a daze, when the quiet girl also approached, smiling faintly, "Long time no see."

I was even more confused, and just about to answer, she took my hand and said again, "Boss, I miss you so much, do you know? For so many years... I... Sigh"

Cheng Jue suddenly came up and pulled her away, with a gloomy face, "You're wrong!" Then he turned to me and said, "You go to eat first." As he said that, he was about to pull her away, and another girl followed with a puzzled face. go up.

In a daze, the girl's voice came, "Sister Dai Ling, sister Dai Ling..." I wished it was my imagination, but the voice did exist.

Still frozen in place, occasionally whispering in her ears, Shen Dan rushed up to ask, before she could speak, I said, "Please ask for a leave of absence."

~~~~

The streets where people come and go are still as usual, yesterday it was lively, but today it is desolate, there is no place for peace of mind in such a huge city.

Do you not care?When things come to an end, I still want to escape.

The streets we once walked together have changed greatly, but I insist that people's hearts remain the same.If it is self-inflicted pain, who should show mercy?

Unknowingly, I still walked home. Even though there are all kinds of bad things, it is still my most loyal nest.Eggy's laughter, Dad's voice, all this makes me feel better, I still exist in this world, I still have something to hold on to.

Tired lying on the bed and locked the door, I miss my mother very much at this moment. Although I have no impression of her, I will think of her when I feel the most uncomfortable and when I am alone. It used to be an imaginary appearance, but recently Can dream about that photo.

He woke up suddenly, and sneaked into Dad's room while they were not paying attention. Fortunately, his keys were always by the computer.I opened the drawer lightly, fumbled for a long time and finally found the marriage certificate.

Opening the red book, just as I was about to take a picture, suddenly a few small characters popped into my mind, my mother’s name is "Dai Geqing", what a poetic name, "Dai Geqing, Dai Geqing..." whispered After murmuring a few times, Dad's scolding voice suddenly came in, "What are you doing?"

He snatched the marriage certificate, his eyes were full of anger, and it was at this moment, as if his brain had opened up, he asked a question that flashed in an instant, and said in a daze, "Dad, I, did I have the same last name as Dai before?" ? Is it called Dai Ling?"

Dad froze there for a moment, his face was as dark as frost, and I was also frightened by these words, how could it be like this?Just a coincidence.

But Dad suddenly shouted, "Who told you, that kid Zhang Ji told you, ah, he said it, and he went to look for you again? He hasn't been in jail enough, he's coming back to do evil... ..." Dad's absence is something I have never seen before, and he was very sad when he said these words.

As for me, it was like five thunderbolts, every cell, every pore was shaking violently, how many secrets I still don't know, what happened to that Dai Ling?

~~~~~

Before Zhang Ji arrived, I sat silently in the coffee shop and inquired about everything about him. Finally, I found a piece of news from 10 years ago, "Li Chengjuan, a third-year student at Shengshui Middle School, was kidnapped. The suspect is a gang member... Zhang Ji Dropped out of school at an early age, and the family was poor..." Every word made my mind even more confused, they really knew each other, and even had such a deep hatred.

By the time he arrived, I had read the news several times.Zhang Ji came slowly, wearing a dark blue woolen coat, he looked very warm, but his lips were a little purple.

I smiled lightly, "What to drink?"

Zhang Ji, "Same as usual."

I was startled, and immediately remembered the time when I tasted coffee with him. His preference has always been Mocha without sugar.

Signaling the waiter to come over, he smiled politely and said, "A cup of mocha without sugar."

Zhang Ji immediately showed a clear smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, "It seems that you don't care about me at all."

I said, "After a long time, I will naturally remember the habits of many people, just like you, no matter how long it passes, you still can't forget your old friends."

He froze, took a sip of the white water in the glass, the light was dim, and the colored glass mixed with Zhang Ji's deformed face swayed from side to side, "Old friend! Hmph~ I only have you as an old friend today." He put down the glass' looked at me and asked, "what do you want to know?"

I said, "Aren't you trying to hide it from me?"

He squeezed out a smile, "I want to keep it from you, but what you want to know today, I will never keep my mouth shut like before."

"why?"

"I used to keep silent for you, for uncle, and for other people, but now I want to ask myself a chance."

I looked at him suspiciously, thinking that he would go around in circles, but I never thought of being so straightforward, so I also asked straightforwardly, "Have you kidnapped Li Chengjuan?"

His expression panicked, but he returned to normal in an instant, his eyes seemed unwilling, "Yes, but it's not right. Is the victim's voluntary kidnapping a crime?"

This question made it difficult for me to answer. I couldn't believe that the so-called case in the news was just a game-like absurdity in his mouth, and he said with a hint of sarcasm, "But you have been in prison!"

Without answering, Zhang Ji moved the mocha that had just been placed on the table, and gently stirred it with a spoon. Every sound of collision with the white porcelain cup seemed to have thousands of anger condensed on his fingertips, "Yes, I have been in prison, I Stayed in prison..." He counted the confusing numbers with the other hand, "Four, no, it should be five years. I was only 16 years old when I entered. At that time, I was not afraid of anything, so what is going to prison? Do you know? When I came out, I was like, like...a mouse, walking on the street, no one shouted, but my heart was stabbed by a knife all the time, and I was the only one in the world , everyone will look down on me and be afraid of me."

His voice gradually choked up, he looked at me who was sitting in a daze, and continued, "I have paid a hundred times and a thousand times more than ordinary people to sit in my current position. I am unbearable and my morals are corrupt. What is it?" The coffee in the cup spilled little by little, and spilled on the table, outlining an unbearable memory.

I can feel my hands clenched into fists, do I believe it?Believe that Cheng Jue is worse than him?

Zhang Ji smiled wryly, "No matter how difficult the time is, as long as I think of my old friend Dai Ling and Huang Meixin waiting for me, I can survive no matter how difficult it is."

The anger and vicissitudes faded away from his sincere eyes, and a faint warmth gradually gushed out.

I let out a long breath and asked, "Dai Ling and I..."

Before he finished speaking, he replied, "You are Dai Ling, and your aunt's surname is Dai."

I raised my head and stared into his eyes, I should have known it earlier, there were so many doubts, but I just didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to reveal the truth, for fear of breaking the last bond between me and Cheng Jue.

"Dad said I had a car accident and forgot a lot of things."

"You were not in a car accident, you were..." He paused, and said, "You were injured in that kidnapping case." Hearing him sneer, there was an indescribable chill in his deep eyes.

Zhang Ji got up suddenly, gathered his clothes, changed his attitude, and a relieved but worried smile floated on his lips, "Li Chengjuan really loves you, aside from other things, I'm sure of that."

He turned around and was about to leave, but I panicked and shouted, "Didn't you say you wanted to ask yourself a chance? Why didn't you continue talking?"

Only his silhouette can be seen, the corners of his eyes have gradually leaked out, and the deep voice came, "I heard that love has nothing to do with memory. I have imprisoned myself with memory for 10 years. Ten years will change a lot of things, Even if my heart doesn't change, why should I ask you like this? The opportunity I want is now, at this moment, Huang Meixin's. But Huang Meixin gave her heart to others, and I can never get it back. "

His back gradually drifted away and disappeared into the dark distance, but those words still lingered in his ears, endlessly and endlessly.

~~~~~

I don't know how long it took before I numbly walked downstairs to Chengjue's building. The pitch-black second floor seemed to house a huge monster, making people frightened and dull.That house will never be lit again!

Just as he was about to turn around, the lights on the second floor were suddenly brightly lit. The curtains were tied on both sides, and the dazzling lanterns on the ceiling could be vaguely seen. Warmth surged into his cold heart.

"The coat you sent back came in handy again."

It was Cheng Jue's voice, he approached slowly and put his coat on me, but I subconsciously avoided it.As for his surprised eyes, I don't know how to respond.

Cheng Jue didn't withdraw his hand, but continued to help me put it on, and said, "Even if you are angry with me, you can't freeze yourself, right." There was an aggrieved smile in his tone, and his expression was funny. grimace.

Looking at the lights upstairs, he was silent for a while, and said, "I hope that every time you come, it's not completely dark."

My curious gaze made him continue to explain, "I asked someone to turn on the lights at 10 o'clock every night. Come here when you are in a bad mood, so it won't make it worse."

Seeing that I didn't speak, he pinched my cheek and teased, "If you like it, can we move back?"

Cheng Jue's eyes were full of anticipation, but I couldn't give him an answer.

Xu thought I was angry about the restaurant, so he hurriedly explained, "That girl is my younger sister, and she also knows Dai Ling. Maxim, we agreed not to mention her anymore, I swear, no one will bother you in the future Our life, will you forgive me? Don't be angry anymore."

I said coldly, "She knows me, but I don't remember her. How many people and things have I forgotten?"

He was stunned, speechless for a moment, dodged my stiff gaze, and said after a long time, "You... Zhang Ji told you?"

"I am Dai Ling. I know that the person you love is the same person, but why can't I be happy?" These words seemed to be said to him, more like to myself.

"A Ling, I, I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier, but I have a last resort, I..."

"Is your reason for those actions that are more unbearable than Zhang Ji's?" I actually asked, and while I was sure that I believed him, I wanted to test him.

Cheng Jue's surprise only stayed for a second, and then said, "That incident was a misunderstanding. I did make an agreement with him to pretend to be kidnapped, but I don't know what happened afterwards. I have already explained it to him. Someone spilled the beans, but it wasn't me."

My expression was almost desperate, as Zhang Ji said, isn't his prison an unjust prison?His best youth was spent in prison, and he lost the freedom he should have had for 5 years.

"He has been in prison for five years. Why didn't you explain it? He was wronged."

His tone became urgent. "I went, but things are not as simple as you think. Zhang Ji should have been sentenced to eight years in prison. I spent money to release him on bail, which reduced the three years."

I was stunned, is this really the case?Now, whose words can be completely believed?Perhaps, only my own memory is the most reliable.I must think about it, about my past, about everything about me.

Pushing his hand away coldly, his tired voice was hoarse, "I'm tired, let's talk about it another day!"

Seeing my resolute attitude, he was helpless, so he had to give up and said, "I'll take you back."

I said anxiously, "No need."

The steps he just took stood in place, I turned my head away and walked away in awe.

~~~~~

The next day, I took a month's sick leave, disappeared in the bustling Shanghai, and returned to my hometown of Qingdao with my aunt.

The winter in Qingdao is not early this year, and there will be warm and sunny weather every now and then, so I take Dandan to the river to fish.

I haven't been back for several years. My memory of Qingdao also started from lying in a hospital bed. Later, I transferred to Shanghai in high school, and I only went back once.

My aunt still lives in an old house, row upon row of bungalows with green tiles. Everything else is good, except that there is no heating. They are used to it, but I really can’t stand it. Besides, my aunt spends most of her time in the mahjong parlor, and my second uncle is not at home. , Yanyan is in the sprint stage of her third year of high school, and Dandan and I are the only ones left in the cold room.

In addition to going to the hospital twice a week for follow-up visits, the rest of the time I often take my balls to the outside shop to eat, drink and have fun, and just sit warmly for a whole day.

I often look at the clear sky outside the window in a daze, thinking desperately about the past, the middle school I went to, the high school I only stayed in for one year, my teachers, the house I lived in before... the harder I think , the more I owe my dad.

The attending doctor who took over from me told me that in my case, although the brain is seriously injured, the amnesia is not serious. As long as I receive treatment and get in touch with the things in the past, I may be able to remember quickly.But my dad immediately transferred me to Shanghai. I broke away from everything I had before, didn’t take any medicine, didn’t receive any treatment, and I was accepting the lies my dad spun from the moment I opened my eyes.

I know that he is doing it for my own good, to protect me from harm, so no matter what I ask, he will answer irrelevant questions, and even my carefree aunt keeps her mouth shut. He must have spent a lot of effort.

With the doctor's treatment and my hard work, occasionally some memory fragments flashed, but they were only vague and fleeting, and sometimes the more I worked hard, the more chaotic I became.

There were a lot of missed calls and text messages on my phone, I deleted them all, and then posted a Weibo statement again, I need a month of quiet time, don’t worry, I’m still alive!Added another bright smiling face to prove that I am not so miserable.

~~~~~

It is amazing that the world isolated from the crowd will be so comfortable. Tao Yuanming likes "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, and seeing Nanshan leisurely". Just like this, he is not tired of money, not worried about fame and fortune, and enjoys his own world .

But I’m really not a quiet person, and I can only maintain Mr. Tao’s realm for a short time. After spending two weeks in Qingdao, I’m starting to get a little bored. Maybe God knows my loneliness and sent a special one Accompanied by chattering fans.

When she suddenly appeared, I was worried that Cheng Jue would also come along.But she told me with a look of admiration, "I came here quietly by myself. I saw your Weibo post on my brother's mobile phone. It turns out that you have returned to your hometown."

She drank my water familiarly, her face full of reason.I smiled and asked, "What's your name, girl?"

She froze suddenly, and shouted ecstatically, "Boss, you have already remembered."

I was confused, "What do you mean?"

Her tone was anxious and confused, "That time, that is, the first sentence you said to me, you asked me like this. Ouch, the question is so handsome, you have the demeanor of a martial arts hero, I simply admire you to death Boss!"

I hurriedly interrupted her, "Wait, wait, although I know you are Li Chengjuan's younger sister, I don't know you yet!"

She showed a regretful expression, and immediately became happy again, patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I'm here to help the boss remember the past, if you want to know anything, just ask me. Uh, yes, I It's Li Chengxi."

I said, "Your brother asked you to tell me?"

She explained, "No, I said that I came here alone. After returning from the restaurant that day, my brother told me that you forgot about the past and talked about a lot of things. Anyway, don't say anything. I am here this time purely for you, Boss."

I asked directly, "Why do you call me boss."

She sighed, acting like an adult, "That's a long story."

Cheng Xi took me to the place where I met Cheng Jue and her for the first time, the alley near Shengshui Middle School. She explained that the alley was not like this before. It used to be very narrow, with high brick walls on both sides, and it grew a lot Xiaocao, there is a very stupid snail hiding in the small hole...

As she narrated with relish, the pictures of the past gradually emerged in my mind...

"Don't bully my brother!" "Go away!" "What are you doing here?" "Woooo..." A chaotic cry echoed in the long alley.

It was the two brothers and sisters who were crying, and I, Dai Ling at that time, was just a 14-year-old girl who rushed in with a group of brothers and kicked away their bullies.

Cheng Xi said that when she saw me for the first time, she felt like a chivalrous heroine who robbed the rich and gave to the poor in TV dramas, but also a magnificent female chivalrous heroine who dared to act.

But in fact, I'm just a female hooligan who hangs out with the underworld, plays truant and fights, and does everything.It's hard to imagine that I was a bad student in the eyes of the teachers. I remember that I never had any disputes with the teachers from the second year of high school to the university. I have excellent grades and good conduct.

Cheng Xi continued, since then I have become her idol, always following me to be my apprentice, and finally waited until I said the first sentence to her, "Miss, what's your name?" She felt that I was finally I want to know her information, and I feel very proud. Every time I see me, I will call her boss.

Of course his brother did too.Cheng Jue often followed my ass. Although I didn't like it at first, he actually fell in love with me later. Although Cheng Xi didn't know what happened, Cheng Jue did change a lot because of it.

Cheng Jue and Cheng Xi's mother left them very early because there was a mistress at home that they both recognized.That mistress likes to study well and clean, and Cheng Xi is still young, so she doesn't dislike her very much.But Chengjue was just in the first grade of junior high school at that time, and it was the rebellious period. He would do the opposite of what his stepmother said. He was bullied, covered in mud, and ignorant. do it.

After meeting me, once he changed his style, he would tidy himself up, his grades would improve by leaps and bounds, he wouldn't use barbs in every sentence, and he wouldn't lose his temper for no reason.In short, everything has changed.

When Cheng Xi said this, she sighed deeply. I looked at her adult face and secretly admired her. At that time, Cheng Jue was being bullied. She was still so young, but she still rushed out to protect her brother from the wind. rain.

Cheng Xi smiled and told me what happened afterwards.

At that time, the boss I followed was Zhang Ji, but she was not very familiar with her.When Cheng Jue was in the third year of junior high school, Zhang Ji kidnapped him, and I was also injured. Later, Zhang Ji was imprisoned, and Cheng Jue still stayed in Qingdao to study, but he went abroad to study after graduating from high school, and he came back two years later.After I was injured, Cheng Xi never heard anything about me, and I didn't even know which hospital I was in.

And then, that's when I met me again.

I figured it out, when Cheng Jue came back from abroad, it should be the year I met him outside the bar.

☆, fail

If everyone had a chance to start over from scratch, would they accept it or resist it?Perhaps no matter what their choice is, no one can escape the shadow of memory, even if it is debris, even if it is dilapidated, it has become a part of life and an indelible brand.

A month later, I returned to Shanghai as scheduled and returned to my post. This time, I can live for myself, all for myself.Work hard, live well, and if memories pop up, remember them well.If not, then walk on the current track and be that heartless Huang Meixin.

My work ability is not bad, but I never had the idea of ​​getting ahead. I just stayed in the same position and met the most basic requirements.

When I came back this time, my focus was all shifted to work, I worked hard all night, everyone thought I was crazy, but those were the days when I was the most sober, and being busy was much more reliable than drinking.

In the spare time she finally spared, she also had a meal with Jiaojiao, but she never mentioned anything to them.Jiaojiao may have been influenced by me, and she began to really care about her work, even though her boyfriends have no problem supporting her

~~~~

Zhang Ji left his post. He sent an email saying that he was going to start his own business. I sent a smiley face and an applause to congratulate him.

Every email of his will mention my recent situation. No matter where he is, he always pays attention to me, but he never asks if I remember all the past, and never mentions the past.

Occasionally, in the dead of night, I would secretly admire many people, except for the superintendent who is super capable at work but whose love was stifled by Zhang Ji in the cradle, Manager Zhang who flatters and flatters his affairs but has a great network, and also thinks of Cheng Xi, who protects his brother. Zhang Ji, who has lost his youth without academic qualifications, but works hard...

Li Chengjue went to France, and I heard that he won't be back until two months later. France has opened a branch company, and he needs to take care of it.He didn't contact me, but occasionally I saw him enter my space and comment on my Weibo.

Cheng Xi added all my contact information, and would ask me about my current situation every once in a while, and I would always reply with a smile and stick out my tongue.

~~~~~

I never expected to live such a life, just like all the strong women who want to be named, no matter how advanced their career is, they don't notice it when they are busy, and they find that their hearts are empty when they are free.

Dad no longer runs out all day. He said that he used to think that I always asked him about the past. He was afraid of leaking, so it would be better to go out and travel alone.

He told me that when I was injured, the mother of the child who injured me came once and gave a check of 200 million to let us leave Qingdao.And my mother Dai Geqing took half of the money and left us and disappeared, so my father especially hated that child, hated that woman, and even hated my mother.

It turned out that it was Chengjue who hurt me, and that woman must be his stepmother. My mother was "forced" to leave in the same way.I didn't tell my dad that the so-called child who hurt me was Li Chengjuan whom he praised so much, so there was no need for it.

Zhang Ji resents him, Dad hates him, even I have a little hatred for this man, I love him deeply, the man I desperately want to be with, how can it be so unbearable?

~~~~

On Christmas Day, I received a text message from an unknown number, "Hi, I'm Ruan Jing, can I meet up? The "Meet" coffee shop on the east side of the Huamei Building."

I thought it was a mistake, but since she mentioned Huamei Building, she should know me.

The Christmas presents were piled up on the desk, and they were ignored flawlessly, and the last document was prepared in a hurry to go to the appointment.

Christmas in Shanghai is really lively. Every door and window is decorated so beautifully and warmly. Santa Claus’s silver beard is covered with all kinds of candies. A group of children are happy around the tree studded with gifts.

Looking at this lively scene, I was immersed in it for a while, and an unfamiliar gentle voice came from a distance, "You have been waiting for a long time."

I followed the prestige and saw a graceful woman approaching. She smiled and said, "I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road."

I smiled and said, "It's okay, you are Ruan Jing?"

Her eyes stayed on my face for a while, and she replied, "It seems that you really don't remember, yes, I am Ruan Jing, and I used to be in the same class as Cheng Jue."

It turned out to be Cheng Jue's classmate, and suddenly the picture of the restaurant that day came to mind. Wasn't she the one standing next to Cheng Xi?

I nodded and said, "That day the restaurant..."

"Yes, it's me, you remember." She said with a smile.

I also smiled back, "I usually have a deep impression of beauties, especially temperamental beauties."

She was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "No wonder, she deserves to be Cheng Xi's idol."

No wonder what she said should be referring to the light pick in my words, she really looks like a gangster!I nodded a little embarrassed, it seems that my daily language may need to be changed.

~~~~

"What would you like to drink?" she asked.

I ordered a cup of Coke and said, "At the company party last year, everyone had Coke!"

She asked, "Really? Then there will be a party this year, right?" She suddenly looked ashamed, "It can't be tonight."

I quickly explained, "No, it's this weekend."

She nodded, asked for a glass of orange juice, and said with a smile, "When we arrived at the coffee shop, we ordered Coke and orange juice."

I said, "The boss won't lose money anyway!"

She nodded in agreement, turned her eyes to stop on the Christmas tree outside the window, and said, "Last year, Cheng Jue and I spent Christmas in France together."

What!Is it to swear an oath of sovereignty?There was a faint feeling of displeasure in his heart, but on the surface he acted as if nothing had happened.

She didn't look at me, she was still staring at the Christmas tree in a daze, "He prepared a gift, and at 1 o'clock in the morning, he stood by the big Christmas tree outside the room alone, and I stood on the second floor and watched him put The gift was hung on the tree, and he stood there for a long time, and I also stood there for a long time." Ruan Jing forced a laugh, and said, "I really froze to death."

I kept silent, listening to her continue, but an unsightly picture came to my mind. Are they already living in the same house?Have you ever slept in the same bed?

She continued, "After he finally left, I quietly went downstairs and opened the gift box. Do you know what I saw?"

Her expression was bitter, and she didn't really ask me, so she continued, "I saw you."

I was stunned, a mouthful of water slowly slid down my throat, startled and dizzy, pointing at myself and asking, "Me?"

She nodded, "Yes, a doll just like you, Cheng Jue made it according to your appearance. Then I immediately packed up and left, and my aunt asked me to accompany him, but it's useless for me to be around him! "

I was silent for a while, then changed the topic and said, "Then he can only spend Christmas alone this year."

Ruan Jing said, "Well, it seems so."

Seeing me bow my head in silence, she asked, "You don't want to know what happened between me and him?"

I said, "I have nothing to do with him now, and I don't want to know about him."

Ruan Jing said, "If you reject the man who loves you the most in the world, any woman will regret it." Her firm tone seemed to persuade me to change my mind immediately.

I said, "Thank you, but I don't know what to say to him." The tone was a bit discouraged

She said, "If you blame him for something, it must be a misunderstanding."

I asked, "You know about that too? That case..."

"Zhang Ji was indeed wronged, but the kidnapping cannot be entirely blamed on Cheng Jue. He also lied to his parents for you and for you."

There are many people in this world who have done some wrong things, but the reason is always for others. If that person never knows, she will regret it, but if she knows, she will feel sad.Some guilt is carried on your body for no reason, and it is heavy, but you will find that even if it is a burden you don't want, it is all because of you.

I gasped and asked, "So I'm the culprit."
