old enemy riding a bamboo horse

Having you in my life

willing to suffer

就算是 为了 分离 我 相遇

Xia Chengqi couldn't breathe because of his desperate and decadent appearance.

"Go to sleep, you can't visit now." Lu Henglin cheered up and raised his hand to touch his hair, but there were other people from Xingyuan around, so he had to give up and show his face to him. A very hard-working gentle smile.

Xia Chengqi lowered his head, afraid that he would cry because of that smile.

Seeing the person I love suffer but being powerless, wanting to hug him but not being able to, not even daring to use too much force to comfort him, it's really too uncomfortable.

"I'll stay with you for a while."

"Be obedient, your face is too ugly." Lu Henglin approached and lowered his voice, and gently squeezed his fingertips, "Don't worry me."

Xia Chengqi felt so uncomfortable, but he could only pretend nothing happened and nodded, "I'll bring you food that night, what do you want to eat?"

"It's all good." Lu Henglin seemed to have exhausted all his strength to support him for a long time, but he still wanted to comfort him with his last smile.

"Then you wait for me." Xia Chengqi reluctantly left the hospital.

Before he walked out of the hospital gate, his cell phone rang, it was Xie Qing.

"Cheng Qi, let's meet."

Xia Chengqi's complexion instantly became heavy and gloomy, but he had to agree, "Okay."

"Come to the cafe downstairs at the headquarters. There are too many things going on recently and I can't go away for too long."

Xia Chengqi had heard Xie Qing say that she loved Lu Chengnian very much, and at that time she felt sorry for her. Although she said that this feeling could not escape the reality and would eventually deteriorate, it was not until he met Xie Qing that he realized that love is love after all, even if he is overwhelmed by the world. Killing, all this heart does not change.

He had never seen Xie Qing in such a mess.

Probably because of her outstanding ability, she has stood unwaveringly by Lu Chengnian's side in all kinds of storms these years, so her elegance and tact are as unmoving as armor.

But at this moment, her face is haggard, and even her usual elegance is like a crumbling shell supported by will. There is a strong smell of smoke on her body. For the first time, there are obvious lines appearing at the corners of her eyes, and sporadic spots can even be seen on her temples. white hair.

"I only have half an hour, and there will be an emergency meeting later." Xie Qing smiled at Xia Chengqi, with a bleak smile, "I'm afraid my worst prediction will happen earlier, Chengqi."

Xia Chengqi's heart tightened, and he restrained himself from showing a flustered expression.

"Heng Lin's father, this time..." Xie Qing finally couldn't speak, and was even a little confused because of the sadness. She adjusted for a moment before she spoke, "Are you coming back temporarily? Or are you going to stay?"

Xia Chengqi felt guilty when asked and dared not answer.

Xie Qing smiled desolately, "Cheng Qi, look at me, now he is seriously ill, and his dear son is by his side, but I have to support his career here, until the most likely result is from A bleak place in the hands of his future heir."

She was silent for a long time before continuing, "Don't be like me."

"I..." Xia Chengqi took a deep breath, wanting to answer categorically that I would not.

"You are a boy, you will only have a harder time than me, don't trade everything you have for love." This was the first time Xie Qing explicitly stopped him.

"Thank you for thinking about me." Xia Chengqi looked up at Xie Qing, tried to straighten his back, "I'm willing to give it a try."

Xie Qing froze for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I should have known earlier, you would answer me like this."

"I'm sorry." Xia Chengqi said apologetically.

Xie Qing pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then he seemed to have made up his mind before saying, "Heng Lin's father is revising his will, and the shares in his hands will be distributed to me and Heng Lin, but I already have a certain percentage of shares in my hand. As the successor president, Heng Lin will definitely get a bigger percentage. Considering the relationship between me and Heng Lin, and he is young and energetic, he is likely to make some... decisions that hinder the development of the group, so in order to check and balance, his father Decided to give you a part of the shares, the share is small, but when necessary, it can prevent the situation from deteriorating."

Xia Chengqi froze on the spot, his heart sank suddenly.

"Henglin doesn't know about this yet." Xie Qing stared at Xia Chengqi with a heavy expression, "I'm not sure how he will feel when he knows. His father's original intention was that you and him have been friends for many years, and I have the kindness of adoption, and I know right from wrong, so these shares will not be used by you to hurt any of us. However, I am worried that this will hurt you and the relationship between you and Henglin. You and My connection is inextricably linked, with this layer of ties, can he still trust you completely?"

Xia Chengqi was silent, his expression was stiff, he didn't speak for a long time, his mind was chaotic and restless, as if a shadow suddenly covered his and Lu Henglin's future fate.

"I'm sorry, I have to protect myself first, so maybe one day, I won't be able to fulfill your love."

"No...you don't have to tell me..." Xia Chengqi spoke mechanically, speaking with great difficulty.

Xie Qing pondered for a moment, then sighed suddenly, "If one day you decide to stand by Heng Lin, I won't blame you. I've loved you too, and I know I can't help myself. Of course, my promise is still there, if One day your love will make you hurt, and I will still be your adoptive mother."

"Thank you." Xia Chengqi was ashamed and shocked again.

Xie Qing has experienced so much for so many years, it is impossible to simply judge her as a person, no matter how shrewd and decisive she is in the business world, and what she has done in love because of blindness and selfishness, her current mind and heart Vision is a gift given to her by time and experience.

She has done her best to herself.

Before the storm came, the tiny people had no other choice but to pray and cling closely to their lovers.

Xia Chengqi knew that fate had closed his hands and withdrew his kindness. There were already thorns in front of him, but when he thought of Lu Henglin, he had firm courage.

He is willing to betray everything blindfolded, willing to bear any suffering for him, willing to gamble all his future, no matter what happens in the future, as long as Lu Henglin still needs him at this moment, he will stand by his side, even if he has to suffer fate because of it He will not be afraid of any punishment.

Xia Chengqi first wrote the application for dropping out of school, and then sorted out the work that he needed to hand over, as well as the related procedures. He was exhausted when he wrote the apology email to his professor, and he was full of apology and guilt. Out of breath, I can only save the draft and go to rest first.

He set the alarm and got up to make dinner, but when he woke up it was already dark outside.He suddenly woke up from his daze, but he heard someone beside him say, "I turned off the alarm clock, you need to rest."

Then he gently touched Xia Chengqi's face, "What, are you still sleepy? Did you have a good rest after returning from the hospital?"

Xia Chengqi's heart sank, thinking of meeting Xie Qing made him extremely uncomfortable, he forced a smile in the dark, "No, I fell asleep right after I came back, I probably overslept and couldn't wake up."

Lu Henglin was silent, sitting beside his bed. The lights in the bedroom were not turned on, so he couldn't see his expression clearly. He only felt that his outline was desolate and decadent in the dark.

Xia Chengqi fumbled to hold his hand, it seemed that he had sat for a while, but his palm was still cold.

Lu Henglin suddenly leaned over and hugged him tightly, like a drowning man hugging driftwood, wishing to use all his strength.

Xia Chengqi hugged him heartbroken, with his chin resting on his shoulder, his heart was full of torment and panic, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him.

"The doctor in charge talked to me today and told me to get ready." Lu Henglin's voice was hoarse, and every word was bitter, "Xiao Qi, if Dad leaves, you will be the only one in this world."

Xia Chengqi silently hugged him tighter, wanting to respond to his words.

"Will you always be by my side?" Lu Henglin, who was fragile at this moment, seemed to be hallucinating. As an adult, he had become extremely powerful at an astonishing speed, so when he said this, Xia Chengqi felt so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe.

"Yes, idiot." Xia Chengqi patted the back of his head.

"In fact, these days, I feel that I can hold on. I go to the company every day, then go to the hospital, handle official business, visit my father, communicate with the doctor, and then listen to my father's confession of his worries. I feel like an adult , I can bear all the pressure and pain, but the moment you appeared in front of me, I felt that I couldn't hold it anymore, I just wanted you to hug me."

"Well, I'm hugging you." Xia Chengqi tried hard not to choke up.

Lu Henglin buried his head on his neck, and soon, he felt warm tears sliding down his skin and flowing into his neckline.

Xia Chengqi raised his head, calming down his surging emotions.

On this sad night, they quietly cuddled and embraced each other, resisting all the coming injuries.
