[Pretender] Makoto Honya

"Mingtai, why did you bring me here during the festival?"

Manli was dragged by Mingtai to an empty and deserted place, which made her frown a little.Ever since she fell off the wall that night, she was no longer used to such darkness.

"Set off the fireworks!"

Mingtai smiled, the smile was relaxed and unrestrained that he hadn't seen in a long time, and there was also some flattery in it.This is the debt he has been thinking about all these years, and he wants her to know that he has never forgotten her.

"A New Year's gift for you!"

Manli was taken aback, looking at the matchbox in his hand, her expression was complicated, but she didn't show the joy that Mingtai expected.

"what happened?"

Mingtai looked at her with flustered and cautious expression, "Don't you like it?"

Manli lowered her head, her tone was cold like she had never used it on him.The good memories for him, but in her heart, are the unreasonable demands he agreed to in every possible way. Since then, she has never let off fireworks.

"Do you think I should like this New Year's gift you once gave me?"

Mingtai was taken aback for a moment, a panic that he was about to lose her suddenly surged in his heart, he grabbed her hand tightly, not letting her break free, his tone was coherent and hasty.

"I'm sorry, I don't know. Then what do you want to do? Shall I accompany you to get your hair permed? Or do you want to go to an opera? There is no racecourse in Peking, and I'm afraid horse racing will be impossible..."

Manli shook her head, stopped him from continuing to flatter her, and broke free from his clenched hands.

"Mingtai, I'm no longer the Yu Manli who would cheer me up even if you gave me a smile."

Mingtai was taken aback for a moment, his hands were hanging by his side feebly, and finally he laughed at himself.

"Yeah, you've moved on and left me alone."

Manli looked up at him, as if she had never known him before.She had never seen him look so hopeless and helpless, even when he received the order to assassinate Minglou, no matter how broken he was, he never had such a lifeless look.

When she came back this time, she had already discovered that he looked unlovable in life, as if all the beliefs and supports in life had collapsed. Such a him still made her feel distressed.

"Mingtai, what happened to you? What happened all these years?"

Mingtai looked up at her, and said in a very calm tone, "I'm divorced."

"What did you say?"

Man Li stared at him with wide eyes, and couldn't believe her ears.She hadn't heard Brother Qiao talk about it, so she took it for granted that he and Cheng Jinyun had a good life.But now he said, they divorced?

"why?"

"there are many reasons."

Mingtai sighed, and took out the dilapidated photo from his close pocket.

"But I think that's what made her determined to leave."

Even though it was broken, it was impossible for Manli not to recognize the memory of her that was as precious as jewels.She took the photo with some trembling, and saw that it was covered with blood but had been wiped carefully, and her eyes were red.

"You are hurt?"

Mingtai thought that she would ask him why he still kept this photo, but the first thing she said was actually caring for him.The mood that was close to despair just now suddenly had hope, and he looked at her deeply with some anticipation and apprehension.

"You care about me, does it prove that you still love me?"

Manli was taken aback for a moment, the former Mingtai had no time to avoid this topic, let alone bring it up on his own initiative.She looked at him inexplicably, "Does it make sense to ask this?"

"Of course there is."

Mingtai lowered his head, choked with sobs, "You are half my life."

She smiled dumbly. She used to really think that she was important to him, but now she has lost that innocence.

"Mingtai, it's been so long..."

Her words were interrupted by Mingtai's crying voice and reddish eye sockets, she looked at the man in front of her in shock who couldn't control herself, and was at a loss.

"Yu Manli! With half my life gone, I'm just dying."

Mingtai couldn't hold back his tears, he tried his best to hold back, but for more than 1000 days and nights, he could only look at the pretty face in his dream, regretting that she took away his soul, he couldn't control it at all. own emotions.

He had so many things he wanted to say to her, but in the end it only turned into a question he had never forgotten for three years.

"Yu Manli...you are a liar...you lied to me that you are where I am...but why did you leave me alone?"

*****

Ever since the two of them were relatively silent that time, Manli seemed to have vaguely understood what he hadn't said.She was a little happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm his mind.

Over the past few days, she has been cautiously probing, and the result is getting closer and closer to the guess in her heart.It's just that she is very strange, it's just that she hasn't seen each other for three years. Why does Mingtai feel that the person he loves is not Cheng Jinyun, but her?

Women have always been sensitive, she could feel his unspoken confession from all the subtleties, but she didn't dare to ask him, for fear that he would suddenly come to his senses and return to Cheng Jinyun's side.

So Manli thinks it's good to be in a daze like this now. The man she loves is by her side every day and will accompany her to do all the things she wants to do. This is something she couldn't have imagined three years ago.

She didn't ask, and Mingtai didn't say anything.He didn't know how to speak, and he didn't know whether she would believe it or not.

He hated his own hindsight for making her go through such a sad time.He just wants to be good to her now, and seize the time she allows him to appear by her side to be good to her.

This situation continued until Manli met Cheng Jinyun on the street.

Cheng Jinyun couldn't believe his eyes. A person who always thought he was dead appeared in front of him. It seemed that he was doing well?

Cheng Jinyun sighed that the two women who used to be tit-for-tat could actually sit down and have a cup of coffee together.

"I don't blame him. He even lied to himself. It's hard for him to live with me as a walking dead for three years."

She finished talking about the story of the past three years with some regret, and finally showed a relieved smile.

"It's just that he lies on the same bed every day, but his dreams are all about another woman. He even remembers to tell you not to be afraid when he is seriously injured... Mingtai, in fact, has not changed. It's just that he discovered that the woman he loves People are not me."

Manli was speechless for a long time.She suddenly remembered what Qiao Baizhou once said to him. When a man is young, he is always confused about what he wants, but when he matures, he finds that what he wants has been lost.

She thought again of the question Brother Qiao asked her back then.

"So Man Li, tell me, if one day, he is no longer the flamboyant Young Master Ming, no longer the light in your mind, and becomes completely different..."

"Do you still want him like that?"

It turned out that he meant it.It turned out that he knew the ending as early as the beginning.

Manli was in a daze. How did she answer at that time?

"No matter what he becomes, I will love him till death."

The words are still in my ears.

Hearing Cheng Jinyun's confession today, she suddenly let go of the last trace of unwillingness in her heart.It turned out that she was not wishful thinking.It turned out that her love had already responded.

Looking up at Cheng Jinyun's free and easy manner, Manli breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time she was no longer so hostile to this woman.

"I'm very sorry……"

Cheng Jinyun shook his head and smiled.

"Speaking of which, you are partners in life and death, and I am the one in the middle."

Manli also smiled with her, "Believe it or not, at that time, he really liked you very much."

Cheng Jinyun smiled proudly and nodded, "I know."
