Chapter 425: Alluring Marriage and Love, Inseparable for Life 3: After the banquet, she felt envious

Long Pei was silent for a long time. Just when she thought he wouldn't answer, a cold and emotionless voice escaped from her throat, which made Gu Mingxi's heart feel cold.

"Send that girl out of the country, as far away as possible."

*********

December 26th.

In the early morning, Gu Mingxi and Long Pei hurried back to the capital. They had too many things to do and had no time to spend more time with their children.

He didn't let them see him off. Gu Mingxi felt sorry for Long Lifei's injured arm, and Long Pei was reluctant to let his daughter run around in the cold wind.

Regarding Yan'er's intention to enter politics, Long Pei didn't mention a word and pretended not to know. Before leaving, Gu Mingxi asked her to take this time to think carefully. If the sky fell and she and Long Pei were still there, there was no reason to let her daughter live.

So hard and tiring.

Long Lifei injured his arm, and Long Ziqi refused to let him into the kitchen. She couldn't cook. In desperation, she proposed to move back to the dormitory. Besides, graduation was coming soon. In addition to her graduation thesis, she also had to defend her graduation. She had to race against time.

.

Long Lifei didn't agree at first, but in the end he couldn't win over her and agreed. The condition of the agreement was that he must come back and stay two days a week to let him see her, and he could arrange the time by himself.

Long Ziqi agreed, worried about his arm, and called Chong Jian before leaving, asking him to come and accompany Long Lifei more recently.

I went back to the dormitory partly for my graduation thesis, but also partly because I wanted to be alone.

She knew it very well in her heart, and Long Lifei also saw it very clearly, probably because they knew each other too well, so there was no verbal communication, which was a bit cool.

When Long Ziqi returned to the dormitory, she was inevitably teased by Su. She smiled and remained silent. She lived a step-by-step life every day, eating and drinking, going back and forth to the dormitory, and to the library.

She had a good appetite and slept well, but occasionally had nightmares. When she woke up, she would continue to read quietly, neither sad nor happy. Su's enthusiasm for learning was greatly affected.

You know, Su is 3 years older than Long Ziqi, but her performance is more than 3 levels lower than Long Ziqi's.

On Saturday, Long Ziqi chose to go back and packed up the information and books she wanted to read. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw a car parked downstairs. The driver was unfamiliar to her, but the person in the back seat was very familiar.

The passenger window was rolled down, and Jiang Chongjian showed a charming smile: "...Xiao Yan'er, we are here to take you home!"

Long Ziqi nodded gently to him, walked to the back seat of the car, opened the door, sat in, and someone took the information in his hand.

"How do you know I'm going back today?"

Long Lifei adjusted her scarf out of habit and pursed his thin lips into two words: "Intuition."

They have lived together for many years, and he believes that no one in the world understands her better than himself.

Long Ziqi didn't say anything. Chong Jian in front turned to look at her and said with a smile: "It's true that a girl has grown up in our family. Our little Yan'er is getting more and more beautiful. It makes my heart flutter..."

"Our home?" Long Lifei pursed his thin lips, his eyes calmly sank, and the sharp tip of the knife pointed directly at Chong Jian.

Jiang Chongjian knew that Long Li was not protecting his shortcomings and that no one could take advantage of Long Ziqi. He winked at Long Ziqi and sat down quickly, not daring to offend this guy again.

Long Ziqi was habitually silent all the way.

When they got off the bus, Long Lifei held Long Ziqi's hand and without looking back, he said to Chong Jian, "I will study with the secretary-general when I return home tomorrow."

Chong Jian's pitiful wailing came from the car. Didn't he just take advantage of Xiao Yan'er? There was no need to just kick him back to the country and work like a cow! He also wanted to pick up a few more foreign girls here...

After entering the door, Long Ziqi stood at the entrance to change his shoes, thought for a while and said: "...it's good to worship Jane."

Jiang Chongjian was the first friend they met after entering school. On the surface, he seemed very unreliable and unseemly, but in fact, he was a very smart, capable and principled man.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to stay with Long Lifei for such a long time.

Long Lifei raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first time he had seen her praise someone so obviously. It seemed that she had a good feeling for Chong Jian.

"I have my own plan!"

When Long Ziqi heard what he said, he didn't say anything more. He put down the materials and went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. When he came out, Long Lifei had already changed into home clothes and had prepared dinner.

The dishes are simple, but they are all what Long Ziqi likes to eat. Seeing the dinner on the table, Long Ziqi did not show any joy. Instead, her worried eyes fell on his arm, "I am not picky about food." He said.

Meaning, he can order takeout without having to cook himself.

Long Lifei's face was gentle and his voice was clear and elegant: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Long Ziqi didn't quite believe what he said, so she pulled him to sit down at the dining table and rolled up his white sleeves. The wound was at the elbow. The area of ​​the injury was not large nor deep, and it had already begun to scar.

"Does it hurt?" She looked at the scarred wound carefully and asked a little abruptly.

Long Lifei didn't answer for a long time. When she raised her head, she found that his eyes were dark and he was staring at her with deep meaning. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed. She calmly put down his sleeves and was confused as to why he looked at her with such eyes.

"My mother called me today. She wanted me to advise you."

Long Ziqi's hanging fingertips were slightly startled, and there was no big emotional ups and downs in his heart. Sooner or later, he would know this.

"Yan'er, can you tell me, what exactly... do you want?" Long Lifei's calm voice was low, and his sharp eyes fell on her turned cheek.

When Gu Mingxi told him that Yan'er was going to join politics, he was really shocked. After living together for several years, except for classes and breaks, they were almost inseparable, but he never knew that she had such a plan in her heart.

Does she know how difficult and hard it is to go into politics?

Why does she want to join politics? He alone can bear the burden of the Long family and the country. There is no need for her to suffer such grievances and work so hard on herself.

The long silence seemed to make the atmosphere a bit cold. The dark eyes under the eyelashes as thin as cicada's wings were windless, without ripples. His eyes were fixed on the dinner on the table, and the thin lips pursed in a line to hide the bitterness.

What do I want, do I still need to ask?

"I'm hungry..." She didn't look at him or answer his question.

Long Lifei frowned, with a chill hidden between his brows, and pursed his thin lips lightly: "...Yan'er!"

Two short words expressed his extreme dissatisfaction.

Long Ziqi's body froze involuntarily, and he turned around, his clear eyes shining with a light called 'firmness', and he looked at him fearlessly.

"You have your life, and I have my choice. It is impossible for me to be cared for in your arms and sheltered from wind and rain all my life!"

Long Lifei's expression darkened, "We...just don't want you to get hurt."

Long Ziqi suffered too many injuries. Even if she looks like a normal person on the surface, it does not mean that she is healthy and warm inside. On the contrary, Long Ziqi's inner world is very cold, and the trauma she suffered in childhood has always remained.

Shadow, she locked herself in a space and excluded anyone from entering her inner world. She was very lonely and sad.

Long Ziqi's eyes dimmed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her thin lips. After saying a word to him, there was no use for dinner and she went back to the room to rest.

She said: "How to grow without being hurt."

That night, as the dinner was cooling down, Long Lifei sat in front of the dining table in silence for a long time, his expression uncertain, and his emotions difficult to distinguish.

That night, Long Ziqi went back to his room to take a bath, read a book, rest as usual, and had a sad dream.

In the dream, she returned to her miserable childhood. Those dirty hands, those obscene and disgusting voices, and those dark and muddy memories were suppressed in the depths of her mind during the day. She did not think about it or touch it, and regarded it as complete.

forget.

But in the cold and fragile midnight, those memories were like vicious scorpions, stinging her young but scarred skin inch by inch.

There were crystals falling from the corners of her eyes, and she whispered in a confused voice: "...don't touch me, dirty."

The dark figure sitting beside her reached out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, helpless in the face of her silent sadness.

A deep sigh.

****

Regarding the matter of "entering politics", neither of them mentioned it again, and life continued. They came back twice a week, and the rest of the time, Long Ziqi was still in the library and the dormitory.

Long Lifei graduated three months early and is still here, but he is worried about her being here alone. Moreover, Li Yueqi and Lu Banxia recently went to Ning'an for vacation, and he took over the company in the United States.

When Long Ziqi didn't come back, Long Lifei spent most of his time at the company. As long as she came back, he would not go to the company for two consecutive days and stay at home with her.

Chong Jian was thrown back to the capital early by him, and he would call to complain every day. Every time after talking about business matters, Long Lifei would directly cut off the phone call, making Chong Jian furious on the other end of the phone.

Time flies, and there is still one week left for graduation defense. Long Ziqi’s thesis has been passed long ago, but he has not moved back in yet. It is Su and the others who refuse to let him go.

In their words, classmates of three years will have to go their separate ways in the blink of an eye, so they should cherish the last time.

Song Jing was determined to return to China with Long Ziqi, and Su wanted to continue reading. He Zui was determined to return to Country A. They were separated this time, and they wanted to meet again next time. I don’t know what year or month it would be. Long Ziqi didn’t say it on the surface, but he had it in his heart.

A trace of separation surrounds me.

In the evening, I booked a dinner party at a restaurant next to the school, and happened to meet a boy who had a crush on Long Ziqi for a long time. Surrounded by other boys, he came over shyly...

"Zi, classmate Ziqi..." The boy was good-looking, tall, thin, and very sunny. I don't know why he couldn't even speak to Long Ziqi when he met him.

The three sisters secretly snickered and gloated, waiting to see the good show. No one in the whole school knew who Long Ziqi's boyfriend was, yet they dared to come over and strike up a conversation. The old birthday girl hung herself and couldn't bear to live anymore.

Long Ziqi ignored everything around him with an indifferent attitude, focusing on the food in front of him. When he heard someone calling him, he looked up at the boy in front of him and said in a cold voice: "Do we know each other?"

"No, I don't know..." The boy became even more nervous when he heard her voice, "I, I..."

'I' couldn't squeeze out a word for a long time. Long Ziqi remained as calm as before and said directly: "Then please don't disturb my meal, thank you."

The voice fell, and he lowered his head to drink water, ignoring the boy's blushing embarrassment. The boy was awkward for a while, and finally left in shame amid the laughter of the three sisters.

The three women laughed even more heartily. Before Long Ziqi raised his head to stop them, the wild laughter gradually subsided, and the original sounds in the restaurant also disappeared. For a while, there was an incomparable silence, or in other words, solemnity.

Long Ziqi raised his head in confusion, his eyebrows met Long Lifei who walked into the restaurant.

Long Lifei was wearing a black shirt and a black trench coat, and walked towards him with his long legs feeling the wind at his feet. The woman in the restaurant stared at him intently, with admiration, fascination and dew in her eyes.

The men bowed their heads and were ashamed. They were also men, but their aura was completely defeated.
