Let it age

Let's students? "

"Why are you asking this?"

"Brother, don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. I just borrowed something from Zhou Tingrang two days ago, and I plan to return it to him today. He told me to come here to find him, so I want to ask if I found the wrong place. Son."

"Oh, I'm not mistaken, Zhou Tingrang was studying at our place before, but he has already finished his studies today."

"what?"

Ao Junzhi was surprised.

"He was accepted by the university, so he doesn't have to continue to attend classes. I heard that he held a teacher appreciation banquet tonight, and invited the teachers of the cram school to have a meal. It's not easy to talk about this kid. After ten years of class, I finally made it through."

What? !Zhou Tingrang was admitted to the university? !What are you kidding? !

Even his kind of ignorant ruffian will go to college one day? !

Ao Junzhi vented his dissatisfaction frantically in his heart.

"That's it... Then can I ask, has he been admitted to any university?"

"Hey, there's a school entrance list at the door, Zhou Tingrang's sign was put up this afternoon, go and see for yourself."

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Ao Junzhi wrapped up his windbreaker and walked to the red list at the school gate.

Zhou Tingrang, S City Jiaotong University, majoring in logistics management.

"Oh, you want to go to college, right? Then I will let you know that college is not a place that people like you can afford to stay in."

The next day, after getting off work, Ao Jun deliberately went downstairs to the hotpot restaurant for a walk.

It turned out that the hot pot restaurant was not open today, and a wedding company car was parked downstairs. Looking inside the store, the employees were busy decorating the lobby. It seemed that there was going to be a wedding in the store tomorrow.

Ao Junzhi felt curious, so he got out of the car, walked to the opposite side of the street, and knocked on the window of the wedding company's driver.

"Dude, I have a question for you. Whose wedding are you doing?"

"Mr. Song's wedding. Do you know Mr. Song?"

"Which Mr. Song?"

"Song Hui, Mr. Song, don't you know him?"

"do not know……"

Ao Junzhi couldn't figure it out, he didn't know who this person named Song Hui was from, and what was his relationship with Zhou Tingrang.

"Then what, are you doing it at the hot pot restaurant upstairs?"

"Yeah, that's not surprising. This is the first time our company has received an order to hold a wedding at a hotpot restaurant."

"How could you think of holding a wedding at a hot pot restaurant?"

"Then you have to ask the couple, I don't know. But I heard that the owner of this hot pot restaurant is Mr. Song's benefactor, and Mr. Song specially came to his place to hold the wedding in order to thank him."

"Then do you know what this groom does?"

"Well...Mr. Song is an engineer of an energy company, it seems."

"Do you know where he is from?"

"It's from N City, I think I heard him mention it once."

"How did he meet the owner of this hotpot restaurant?"

"Brother, you are checking the household registration. No, you don't know anyone, why do you ask so many questions?"

"Hey, I'm just asking casually, isn't this here waiting for someone to be bored, so I can chat with you and gossip. Besides, I have never been married, so I am envious of seeing other people's wedding arrangements. "

"Okay, look at your good looks, I'll chat with you again. Let me tell you, just this buddy, that's a real bull."

"You mean the groom?"

"Yeah. Once the couple took my car to buy wedding materials, and I chatted with them. Guess what? The buddy told me," the driver made a mysterious gesture, bringing Ao Junzhi's ear closer , "He went in."

"You mean...he committed a crime?"

"alright!"

"What happened to him?"

"Listen to him, it seems that in high school, someone bullied his girlfriend, and now this bride, he fought with someone and cut her, so he went in."

"Oh, then he has a criminal record."

"Yeah, but B is the best person. After he came out, he took the adult college entrance examination, went to university, and became an engineer. That girl was waiting for him all the time. Now the two of them are finally married. Tell me, Isn't this experience too fucking legendary and too fucking inspiring?"

"It's very inspiring, and it's like a diǎo story of counterattack and turning around."

Beep beep, the driver's phone rang.

"Hello? Ah, I see, I'll go up now," the driver hung up the phone and looked at Ao Junzhi, "Dude, I won't talk to you anymore, they are short of manpower, I have to go up to help. "

"Hey, okay, go get busy, buddy."

The driver closed the door and went upstairs, and Ao Junzhi also returned to the car, carefully reviewing the relationship.

This Song Hui also has a criminal record, and it seems that he and Zhou Tingrang met in prison.He can choose to hold the wedding at Zhou Tingrang's site, which shows that his friendship with Zhou Tingrang must be strong.

"It looks like it's my turn to make a gorgeous debut tomorrow."

Ao Junzhi looked at the hot pot restaurant on the second floor decorated with lights, showing a sly smile.

13.

"Oh, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Thank you, please, please, please!"

Song Hui and his wife stood at the door of the store to welcome the guests, while Zhou Tingrang was in charge of coordinating the entire wedding scene and keeping the ceremony going on in an orderly manner.

"Xiaoqi, I just did the math. There shouldn't be enough wine in the store. I'll call the wine merchant right now. You can go down in 10 minutes and see if it's delivered."

"it is good!"

Zhou Tingrang was so busy in the shop that he couldn't leave, so he could only ask Xiaoqi to go downstairs for a run.

After a while, Zhou Tingrang's arm was suddenly grabbed, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiaoqi's frightened eyes.

"Brother Xiao Rang, it's not good... I was downstairs and saw Ao Junzhi..."

"what?!"

Zhou Tingrang's heart skipped a beat immediately.

"What shall we do now?"

"Don't panic, listen to me, I'll go down to stop Ao Junzhi now, today is my brother's big day, don't let him mess around! You stay in the store well, if dad or brother asks me, you Just say that I went to rush the goods, and nothing else is allowed! Do you understand?"

"Brother Rang, you have to be careful."

"I know."

Zhou Tingrang dropped the wine list in his hand and rushed downstairs immediately, and then ran into Ao Junzhi head-on in the stairwell on the first floor.

Seeing Zhou Ting blocking him imposingly, Ao Junzhi spoke calmly.

"Why, there is a happy event in the store, so you don't want me to go up and join in the fun?"

"Ao Junzhi, let's talk about something alone, don't involve my family."

Finding that Zhou Tingrang changed his usual humble attitude, Ao Junzhi secretly concluded that this Song Hui must be someone Zhou Tingrang cared about very much.

"But today I'm here purely for a wedding banquet, and I don't intend to seek you."

Ao Junzhi said that he was going to go up, but Zhou Ting asked him to stop him with a strong arm.

"You were not invited to the wedding, please be sensible."

It could be heard that Zhou Ting couldn't calm down, which angered Ao Junzhi.

"Why, you still want to give me a shaved meal like back then? Let me tell you, I am no longer that weak mushroom head! Stop threatening me!"

Ao Junzhi became ruthless, grabbed Zhou Tingrang's neck and pulled him down. Today's Zhou Tingrang has already been overtaken by Ao Junzhi, and his thin body and bones can't compete with Ao Junzhi's muscles. He was pulled by Ao Junzhi before he could resist. Dai Tuo was dragged to the warehouse door behind the hot pot restaurant.

No one passed by here, only some abandoned gas tanks were placed.

Ao Junzhi pushed fiercely, and Zhou Tingrang's back hit the wall with a bang, and the huge pain hit, causing Zhou Tingrang to groan heavily.

"I'm telling you Zhou Tingrang! Don't talk to me in that tone! You are not worthy of your mother!"

Still feeling unsatisfied, Ao Junzhi grabbed Zhou Tingrang's collar again, and with red eyes and a ferocious expression, he vented the anger that had been pent up in his heart for 13 years.

"Do you think that I, Ao Jun, are very stingy and scheming, and I don't look like a man, huh? For a trivial matter back then, I have come to trouble you time and time again, and have been entangled with you so fucking badly until now ?" Ao Junzhi's deep and cold voice suddenly broke out, and it was deafening in Zhou Tingren's ears, "Damn! Just because of such a trivial matter! I, Ao Junzhi, will not hate you for 13 years! I will not dream of you every day. Cut you into pieces!"

Suddenly letting go of Zhou Tingrang, Ao Junzhi was almost crazy, he took two steps back, his facial features twitched uncontrollably.

Zhou Tingrang was completely dumbfounded, why did Ao Junzhi come here?If it's not just because of what happened in the carport that year, what else would make Ao Junzhi hate himself so much?

Seeing that Zhou Tingrang still had an ignorant expression, Ao Junzhi became even more furious.

"Stop pretending to be confused for me! You have done such an outrageous thing yourself! You still have the face to pretend to be confused!"

Zhou Ting was startled, could it be that Ao Junzhi had something to do with that incident?

"Zhou Tingrang! You bastard!" Ao Junzhi finally collapsed, crying at the top of his lungs, "I've been dating her for three years! My mother doesn't even give up a finger of hers. Touch! You are a scumbag! How can you...how can you use your dirty...dirty... ah!!!"

Ao Junzhi pulled his hair frantically, and was already so delirious that he couldn't stand still.

In an instant, Zhou Tingrang's head seemed to be struck by lightning, and countless fragments and residues were splashed.

Ao Junzhi and her...have dated for three years...but I...have no idea.

It all has an explanation.

Why did Ao Junzhi come to me for revenge, why did Ao Junzhi follow me like a ghost.

Ao Junzhi's hatred turned out to be because of her.

"She's still so young...she doesn't understand anything yet...how cruel are you...how can you do it..."

Ao Junzhi's voice became weaker and weaker, his whole body seemed to collapse, he staggered back, and finally leaned against the opposite wall.

At this moment, the air froze.

Zhou Tingrang recalled the night when the car overturned, Ao Junzhi's expression of wanting to cut himself into pieces, suddenly shuddered.Subconsciously touched the wound left by last time, Zhou Tingrang felt a little sad.

Zhou Tingrang didn't know where the end was for bearing these things that he shouldn't have to bear.

The mouth that I want to open, I can't open it all the time.What I want to say, I can't always say.

Looking up at the distant sky, Zhou Ting reminded of that photo frame, and could only return to silence.

After a long while, Ao Junzhi regained consciousness, wiped away the tears on his face, and slowly walked towards Zhou Ting again.

Zhou Tingrang was actually full of apologies.

If my father hadn't drunk and passed out that day, if I had stayed that day, maybe this tragedy would not have happened.

So, indirectly, Zhou Tingrang took the responsibility on himself.

But even if Zhou Tingrang served his sentence in prison for such a crime, no matter how good he acted, he still couldn't understand the true feelings of a person involved in the incident.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhou Tingrang would show the most sincere concern for the girl with whom he had only met a few times back then, rather than condolences in the style of atonement.

"Is she... okay?"

But the outsider Ao Junzhi couldn't hear the twists and turns.

Ao Junzhi, who was already calm, was enraged again, and kicked Zhou Tingrang to the ground.

"Damn it, you have the guts to mention her! You bastard! You ruined her! You ruined me! You have the guts to mention her! I'm going to beat you to death today! !"

Ao Jun grabbed Zhou Tingrang's neck with one hand, and punched Zhou Tingrang's face fiercely with his fist with the other hand.

It wasn't until Zhou Tingrang was almost dying of the beating that Ao Junzhi stopped, stood up and wiped the blood on the back of his hand.

"Fight! Aren't you so arrogant and domineering! Get up and fight!"

Zhou Tingrang didn't fight back or resist from the beginning to the end, but let Ao Junzhi's fist greet him without making a sound.

"Zhou Tingrang, please remember, you are a grown-up scum, the most bastard bastard in the world!"

Lying on the ground dying and exhaling, Zhou Tingrang heard Ao Junzhi's humiliation, but he didn't make any excuses or respond, and just looked at the sky quietly.

"What you owe me, stop here. What you owe her, start now, and I will get it back bit by bit," Ao Junzhi announced through gritted teeth, then took a breath, and resumed his calm but gloomy tone, "I don't know if the fight upstairs is as hot as ours. I have to go up and see."

Hearing that Ao Junzhi was about to go upstairs, Zhou Tingrang, who had already lost all his strength, stood up with only willpower, and then at the moment Ao Junzhi was about to leave, he stumbled to Ao Junzhi, biting his lip, and threw him stop.

Zhou Tingrang was already in the most embarrassing state in front of him, Ao Junzhi didn't make any more provocative sounds, just quietly watched Zhou Tingrang wrestle with his vitality.

"……sorry……"

Following the weak and intermittent voice in his mouth, Zhou Tingrang lowered his head and bent his knees, kneeling down to Ao Junzhi with a bang.

This situation really shocked Ao Junzhi.For a while, I couldn't make a sound.

"...I beg you, please..." Zhou Tingrang stretched out his hands to grab Ao Junzhi's cuffs, "...let my brother go...it's been hard for him to be here today...I beg you, don't go up... You hate me, beat me, scold me, kill me...but please let my brother go...I beg you...I sincerely apologize to you, I kowtow to you, I kowtow to you!"

"sorry!"

boom.

"sorry!"

boom.

"sorry!"

boom.

……

Looking at Zhou Tingrang who kept kowtowing to him at his feet, Ao Junzhi felt as if a knife was piercing his heart.

Why did fate play tricks on the three of us?Who would want to be hurt, and hurt others like this?It's only strange that everything in the past is too heavy, we can't help ourselves, we can only sink deeper and deeper...

Sucking his nose, Ao Junzhi controlled his emotions, turned around and left silently without saying anything.

Zhou Tingrang, who stayed in place, knocked his head to the ground for the last time, and never lifted it up again, letting persistent tears flow all over the floor.

14.

Tears ran dry, Zhou Tingrang's consciousness gradually lost, and he gradually lost consciousness of the pain in his body. After a few seconds, Zhou Tingrang's whole body fell to the side and passed out completely.

After a long time, seeing the newcomers swore to exchange rings, and Zhou Tingrang did not come back, Xiaoqi suddenly had a bad feeling, so she explained the process arrangement to other shop assistants, and hurried downstairs to check Condition.

I searched the entire nearby streets, but there was no sign of Zhou Tingrang at all. Xiaoqi tried to dial Zhou Tingrang's number, but found that there was no answer, but there was no other way at the moment, so he could only keep calling. Until Zhou Tingrang picked it up.

Jingle jingle... jingle jingle...

Standing back in front of the hot pot restaurant, suddenly there was a slight ringing sound of the mobile phone in the ear, Xiaoqi turned around sensitively, trying to find the source of the sound, and slowly walked to the back of the hot pot restaurant following the direction of the sound Go, the moment she saw Zhou Tingrang lying unconscious in front of the warehouse, Xiao Qi covered her mouth in shock, and immediately rushed forward to help Zhou Tingrang sit up.

"Brother Xiaorang! Brother Xiaorang, what's wrong with you! Why are you hurt like this! Brother Xiaorang! Can you hear me! Brother Xiaorang, I'm Xiao Qi!"

Seeing that Zhou Tingrang's mouth and neck were covered in blood, Xiao Qi immediately cried out in distress.

"Little Seven..."

At this time, Zhou Ting regained his consciousness a little, opened his eyes slightly, and opened his mouth extremely weakly.

"Brother Rang! Hold on a little longer! I'll call someone down right away!"

After finishing talking, Xiao Qi wanted to get up, but Zhou Tingrang grabbed the corner of his clothes with weak strength.

"Xiao Qi...!"

Seeing that Zhou Tingrang had something to say, Xiao Qi squatted down again.

"Don't... tell... brother... and dad..."

Hearing that Zhou Tingrang was still concerned about Brother Hui and Uncle Liang at such a critical moment, Xiao Qi couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.

"Brother Rang! You are already like this! Why don't you tell them! Do you know how worried they will be if they see you like this! How distressed!"

But Zhou Tingrang still clung to Xiaoqi's clothes tightly.

"Can't……"

Faced with Zhou Tingrang's firmness, Xiao Qi could only compromise.

"Okay, Brother Xiaorang, I promise you, I won't tell Brother Hui and Uncle Liang, but you have to go to the hospital with me now!" Wrapping Zhou Tingrang's hand around his neck, Xiao Qi pulled Zhou Tingrang away with all his strength. Pulled up, "Go... let's go to the hospital... I'll take you to the hospital..."

Carrying Zhou Tingrang to the side of the street with difficulty, Xiaoqi hailed a car and rented a car, and took Zhou Tingrang to the nearest hospital.

Drop, drop, drop.

There was silence on one side, only the sound of water droplets could be heard.

Zhou Tingrang's ears were the first to wake up, and after a while, his consciousness gradually returned to his body, and Zhou Tingrang slowly opened his eyes.

In the blurred field of vision, there are three figures looking at him with great concern.

"Xiao Rang, are you awake?"

Zhou Shiliang's warm and delicate voice completely awakened Zhou Tingrang.

Fully conscious, Zhou Tingrang tried to sit up, Zhou Shiliang quickly gave his hand when he saw this, and helped Zhou Tingrang up and leaned on the pillow.

"Dad, brother, why are you all here?"

"How long do you want to hide from us?"

Song Hui's cold voice suddenly burst into the air, and Zhou Ting let him know that he was angry.

"Brother... I'm sorry."

"Xiao Qi told us everything."

Zhou Ting cast a reproachful look at Xiao Qi who was hiding in the corner of the ward, and Xiao Qi buried her head even lower.

"Don't blame Xiao Qi, if it wasn't for Xiao Qi, Uncle Liang and I still don't know about it."

"I just... don't want you to worry."

"Little Rang," Zhou Shiliang sat on the edge of the bed and patted Zhou Tingrang's shoulder, "How could you not tell Dad about such a big thing? Now that you've made it like this, how can Dad be relieved!"

Zhou Tingrang felt guilty and didn't say any more.

"Tell me, why does that man come to trouble you again and again?"

Song Hui dragged the chair to the front of the bed, sat on it, and looked at Zhou Tingrang with a serious face.

"..."

Zhou Tingrang still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

"Come to the store to make trouble, take [-] from you, chase your car, and beat you like this today, is it the same person?"

"..."

Zhou Tingrang still bit his lips and did not speak.

"Xiao Rang, Dad knows that you are sensible. Over the years, you have taken care of everything by yourself and never let Dad and your brother worry about it. But now that something so big is happening, Dad really doesn't want you to be alone in your heart. There are no outsiders here, so just tell me, huh?"

"Dad...Brother...don't ask. I can solve my own affairs. "

"Is this your business alone?!" Song Hui was suddenly irritated by this sentence, stood up and pointed at Zhou Ting's nose, and began to scold, "Zhou Ting tells you not to think that you are the only one who talks about your young life. Forget it! One person decides everything! In the end, let the person who loves you and the person who cares about you worry about you being worthless for you!"

Song Hui's roar made Zhou Ting feel a wave of guilt in his heart, and it also made Zhou Shiliang's eyes red in silence.

For a long time, no one in the ward spoke, only Song Hui's angry panting could be heard.

After a while, Song Hui calmed down a bit, and sat back on the chair again, shaking his hot neckline.

"Xiao Rang, tell Dad," Zhou Shiliang hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously, "That person came to you...is it because of... that matter?"

Hearing the word 'that matter', Zhou Tingrang's eyelids trembled, and Song Hui's eyes widened sensitively.

"That person..." Zhou Tingrang took a deep breath, "That girl's boyfriend at the time."

"Fuck me!"

Song Hui's reaction was extremely violent all of a sudden, he stood up with a bang, turned his back to Zhou Tingrang, put his hands on his hips, and anger appeared on his face again.

Zhou Shiliang also probably understood that even though he felt helpless and uncomfortable, he still wanted to pretend to be calm on the surface, because he didn't want to put pressure on Zhou Ting.

And Xiao Qi, who has been hiding in the corner, doesn't know what the three of them are talking about, but from the three people's reactions, they can roughly describe the outline of the story.

"So, you just let him beat you, and let his ghost linger on you?!"

Song Hui's tone was almost uncontrollable and about to explode.

"Whether I was wrong or right at the beginning, after so many years, I don't want to explain anything."

Zhou Tingrang lowered his head and said with a wry smile.

"Fuck! Fuckfuck!" Song Hui finally broke out, bending over with a loud roar, "Zhou Ting made you a fucking idiot! Ten years! Fucking ten years have passed! Did that boy Chen Bojiang come back once? Did he find you once! You just watch him give you that broken photo frame every day! Believe in the broken promise he gave you! Be a fool! You have been waiting for him for ten years! And that bastard doesn't know how good life is in the United States now! People have forgotten you! Those sacrifices you made don't care at all! The big fool who sold it and paid for it!"

"Xiaohui!!!—Enough!!!—"

Zhou Shiliang shouted angrily, and the atmosphere in the ward suddenly became extremely heavy, so heavy that everyone suffocated.

It was the first time in Xiao Qi's life that he was in such a depressing space, and his whole body couldn't help trembling.

At this moment, Zhou Tingrang, Zhou Shiliang, and Song Hui were crying at the same time, but they all turned their heads tacitly to prevent each other from seeing each other.

Time seemed to stand still. After a long, long time, no one said a word or made a movement.

Everyone's heart is like a thousand waves, being played by fate in the palm of their hands, seeing all kinds of life, tasting all kinds of flavors in the world, but the pain in their hearts cannot be expressed.

dong dong——

"Ward 308, the patient Zhou Tingrang, right?"

The nurse came in to change the infusion bottle for Zhou Tingrang, instantly waking up everyone, returning to the present, and facing reality.

"Well, nurse, I want to ask, when will my son be discharged from the hospital?"

"The patient's injury is not particularly serious, but it's not light. At least he has to be hospitalized for another week of observation."

"That's it, okay, I see, thank you, nurse."

"You're welcome."

After the nurse went out to close the door of the ward, Zhou Tingrang quickly grabbed Zhou Shiliang's wrist.

"Dad, go and discharge me from the hospital. I'm fine, really."

"Xiao Rang, are you worried about the hospitalization fee? You heard from my father that if the money is gone, you can earn more money, but if you collapse, you will lose everything. The most important thing now is that you have to support Good illness. You are well, better than anything else."

"dad……"

Zhou Tingrang was still a little reluctant.

"Ting Rang, you can recuperate here with peace of mind. Uncle Liang, don't worry too much. I have already paid the hospitalization fee just now. Don't worry. Listen to me. Now that you are a real younger brother, if something like this happened to your younger brother, how can you be an older brother? Ting Rang, from now on, you can only have one thing in mind, and that is to get well from your illness, did you hear me?"

"Um……"

"Little Seven—"

Hearing Song Hui calling him suddenly, Xiao Qi didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a second before cowardly running to the hospital bed.

"Xiaoqi, during the time your Brother Xiaorang is in the hospital, I will trouble you to make a few more trips. Uncle Liang has to watch the store, so he can't leave. I will leave Brother Xiaorang to you."

"Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Xiaorang."

A month later.

Zhou Tingrang stayed in the hospital for three weeks, and then went home to recuperate for a week. His body has almost recovered, but he still has to follow the doctor's instructions, avoid strenuous exercise, and pay more attention to diet.

So Zhou Tingrang just stood at the cashier counter for the past few days, leaving all the work of moving goods and serving dishes to others.

On this day, in the evening, the office workers in the surrounding office buildings left work one after another, and the hot pot restaurant began to usher in the peak period of business.

Suddenly the store door was pushed open, and more than a dozen people walked in. Zhou Ting asked him to see that it was Mr. Shan from Hengtong Company, who immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome! Who are Mr. Shan?"

"There are a lot of people in our department's dinner party, so we may have two tables."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away, Mr. Shan please."

After the two tables sat down, Zhou Tingrang handed the menu to Miki.

I saw that Miki didn't care to look at the menu at all, and Zhou Tingrang also noticed that his eyes had been wandering since he stepped into the store, as if he was searching for something.

"Are you looking for Xiaoqi?"

"Ah, ah?"

Miki didn't expect Zhou Tingrang to be so straightforward, and he didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

"He went to the warehouse downstairs to clear the goods, and he should come up in a while."

"Ah...thank you."

Seeing a shy blush appear on the face of a man who was about to run three times, Zhou Tingrang was in a daze for a moment.

The so-called feeling of love, unconsciously, has been far away from me.

So far that I have neither the courage nor the ability to imagine the possibility of it happening again.

Do I still have a chance to experience this feeling?

"Boss, the dishes are ready! Here!"

After taking the menu, Zhou Ting let it go to the kitchen, then shook his head, shaking off those pretentious thoughts.

A few minutes later, after clearing the goods, Xiao Qi came up and found Mr. Shan from Hengtong Company coming, and skipped over to say hello.The group of people brought by Miki usually have lunch boxed by Xiaoqi, so everyone has already become one with each other, chatting and laughing with Xiaoqi.

After chatting with everyone for a while, Xiaoqi was about to serve food, but when she passed the cash register, Zhou Tingrang grabbed her.

"Boy, are you happy?"

"what?"

Xiaoqi didn't understand why Zhou Tingrang said such a sentence suddenly.

"Mr. Shan is here, are you happy?"

"Why should I be happy when President Shan is here?"

Zhou Ting looked at Xiao Qi's puzzled expression and wondered if he had made a mistake, so he reconfirmed.

"Then what, are you still chatting with the text message man?"

"We're talking."

"He hasn't told you his identity yet?"

"Hush..." Xiaoqi suddenly posted over mysteriously, and whispered, "He said to tell me tonight, hehe."

"Oh..." Zhou Tingrang pretended to be looking forward to it, "Then who would he be?"

"I always feel like he's someone next to me, but I just can't figure it out."

"Maybe... that person is sitting in our shop right now."

"Ah? Brother, don't scare me."

"I'll just say it casually, just guessing."

——"Waiter! Add wine here!"

"Go quickly, the customer over there is calling for a drink."

"Ok!"

Miki ordered a dozen beers at the table, and Xiao Qi carried them out of the kitchen and put them on the table.Just as he was about to pick up the bag to help open it, he was stopped by Miki.

"No, no, I'll do it myself."

So Miki took the screwdriver from Xiaoqi's hand, deliberately pointed the mouth of the bottle in a certain direction, and then swung it vigorously——

"what!"

Xiaoqi's trousers were instantly soaked by the gushing hops.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I drove too fast! Come, come, let me wipe it for you!"

Miki immediately squatted down in front of Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi is completely in a panic now, and has not yet realized the situation just now. She is about to stop Miki and tell him it’s okay and she will deal with it, when she sees Miki smile slyly, and magically takes out a bouquet of champagne roses from the bottom of the table. Standing up slowly, he stretched it out in front of him.

The surrounding colleagues seemed to have premeditated, and suddenly moved away collectively, to make room for Miki and Xiaoqi to belong to two people.

"It's me, one three seven three three nine six six five two nine."

Miki reported his phone number, Xiaoqi was dumbfounded.

"I said, I'll tell you who I am tonight. Now you know."

Xiao Qi finally reacted, and then covered her mouth in surprise.

"Didn't you think it would be me?"

Xiaoqi shook his head foolishly.

"Well, it looks like, with your IQ, you shouldn't be able to figure out what the text messages I sent you mean."

Xiao Qi still shook her head foolishly.

"Okay, then I'll match your IQ and make things clear," Miki encouraged himself and took a deep breath, "I like you! I've liked you since the first day you came to my office and made a big fuss. You! I, Miki, from now on, will take good care of you, love you, love you, and use my greatest strength to protect you! So, please stay with me!"

"together together together!"

The surrounding guests all clapped their hands and booed, shouting their best wishes.

Xiao Qi was so excited that she didn't realize that tears of emotion were already rolling in her eyes.

The man in front of me is so perfect and outstanding, how could he be willing to give his heart to me?

Xiaoqi couldn't believe it, but everything in front of her made her intoxicated in the dream. Although she never imagined that she would meet the prince, when the prince really came, she couldn't get out of this fairy tale, so she could only go on desperately. , jump in.

"Um!!!"

Xiaoqi took the bouquet and nodded three times with a smile. Miki was immediately touched, and stretched out his arms to tightly embrace the person who was thinking about him day and night.

All of a sudden, there was a sensation in the audience, the applause was thunderous, and the screams were about to burst through the roof.

Zhou Tingrang witnessed all this happening at the cash register, and there was a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, and it was also accompanied by deep stinging pain.

【Don't trust my mother, wait for me to come back】

In the photo frame, the white paper had already turned yellow, but the writing on it was still clear.

The last stroke of the word at the end was a long stroke, and Zhou Ting could guess without looking at it. At that time, he struggled to leave this note for himself in such a critical situation.

Therefore, for ten years, Zhou Tingrang has locked his life firmly in these nine words, without complaint or regret.

The years slipped away rough, and the hope of waiting became more and more elusive. The original strong and firm belief had long been worn down by years of emptiness into a feeling of sadness in the bottom of my heart, but Zhou Ting let him know that no matter where he was, no matter whether he came back or not , the him in the distance has always been the him in my heart.

Don't wait any longer, just worry.

Then he was busy, muddleheaded, and lived alone.

Love?

What does love look like?

Zhou Tingrang has never said this word once in his life.

Even if the unforgettable past is hidden in his heart, Zhou Ting lets himself know that it cannot be called love.

Because love, like the scene in front of you at this moment, should be beautiful, happy, and blessed by others, not just leave people with pain.

So Zhou Tingrang avoids love, resists love, does not dare to think about it, and does not want to think about it. Over time, there is a black hole in his heart, no one can get in, but he can't climb out.
