Stars scattered across the Milky Way, and the clearing was filled with clear light.
Han Xiaotao leaned against the trunk of the big tree, hugged her curled up knees with both hands, looked at the sky and said, "Hang so many small orange lanterns, no matter what kind of thoughts you have, you can send them to heaven, right?"
"Of course. Your grandma paid the price of her life to maintain this peach garden." Min Hao said, handing the document bag that he had prepared long ago to Han Xiaotao. "This is yours."
"What?" Han Xiaotao opened it and saw that it was the land deed of Taoyuan, and she couldn't help but feel excited. She raised her head and looked at Cui Minhao, holding the land deed in her hand, and hesitated: "This..."
"Didn't we agree? This is your reward. I hope that our relationship will be completely different from the contract." Cui Minhao turned his head, with a faint smile on his lips, and held Han Xiaotao's hand. "I like you.
, even if I like you, you are with me not because of the contract. So, I will return the land deed to you."
Han Xiaotao frowned and looked down at the land deed in her hand. What Mrs. Cui had said to her before in the car flashed through her mind. A girl like her, entangled with Cui Minhao, in Mrs. Cui's eyes, wasn't it?
Is it for money? And Mrs. Cui also used Taoyuan as a condition. If Han Xiaotao accepts Taoyuan from Minhao now, won't she be unable to stand on her own? She has to prove to Mrs. Cui that she will not do it because of money.
And shaken. She took a deep breath, looked at the land deed reluctantly and said: "The Taoyuan was exported by my adoptive father through gambling, and it has long ceased to belong to my family. As for the contract between us, it has no impact at all, at least not enough.
I received a peach orchard as compensation. Therefore, I cannot accept the land deed." After saying that, she handed the land deed to Min Hao and looked at him firmly.
"What do you mean? I gave this to you, how can I take it back? I promised you that as soon as the contract is over, I will give the Taoyuan to you. To me, this is not an important matter. Between us
, Do you still have to be so polite?" Min Hao said one after another like a machine gun.
"This is not courtesy, this is dignity." Han Xiaotao almost couldn't hold it in, but she must not tell Min Hao about Mrs. Cui's visit to her. Otherwise, according to Min Hao's character, he would never give up without causing a huge stir. Originally, she was pregnant recently.
Sister Jin's matter is enough to make him upset, and the estrangement between him and his mother is getting deeper and deeper. If he adds trouble at this time, it will be like adding fuel to the fire.
"Dignity? Are you saying that I hurt your dignity by giving you the Taoyuan?" Cui Minhao asked angrily. She was the one who clearly wanted the Taoyuan, but she was the one who refused now. He really didn't know that in her heart,
What kind of relationship is there between them? Is it disrespectful to accept a gift?
"Yes." Han Xiaotao's eyes turned red when she saw Min Hao's angry look. However, she could not give any other answer to his question. "If you accept Taoyuan, then you and I will never be able to stand together again."
In the same position."
"Location..." Min Hao murmured and sneered, "For you, we still have different boundaries, right? It turns out that you still can't accept the difference in our identities." He threw the land deed on the ground.
, stood up and paused. "I, Cui Minhao, will not take back what I sent out. If you must refuse, then burn it." After that, he left Taoyuan.
Han Xiaotao sat on the ground in a daze, and opened her mouth in the direction Min Hao was walking. Some words were stuck in her throat, but she couldn't say them out. She swallowed the words back, but silver tears slowly welled up in her eyes.
Light comes.
In the lonely night, shaky figures walked crookedly on the sidewalk, and then simply sat down under the telephone poles.
Occasionally, people passing by took a quick glance at this well-dressed man, smelling of alcohol and looking embarrassed. They couldn't help but wonder if he had suffered the blow of a broken love. But he clearly had an extremely handsome face, which one?
A woman is willing to dump him? That is simply outrageous!
Su Zhiyu didn't care about this at all, and still sat on the ground dejectedly, with a drunken blush on his face.
Just in the afternoon not long ago, he pulled back from his memories and asked: "How do you know this?"
"Do you really not remember my appearance? Because it's on your back, so you don't remember?" Shangguan Meng frowned and asked with some choking. She saw in Su Zhiyu's eyes that she wanted to see
Part of it was lost, but part of it was lost. She also hesitated for a long time, thinking that he might be able to remember it by himself. However, it turned out that in his heart, that little episode might not be as profound as she imagined.
"To me, all women are the same, so there is no difference." Su Zhiyu smiled jokingly, but concealed the loneliness in his smile.
Su Zhiyu put Shangguanmeng down, turned around and looked at her and said, "Yes. For a person like me, there is no difference. In the end, it is just about choosing a woman with the same family background, getting married and having children, even the steps of falling in love.
It can be omitted. So, even if you like me, don’t try to say it, because I will never be able to respond to you."
"That's not the case..." Shangguan Meng shook his head and bit his lower lip.
"That's best." Su Zhiyu interrupted her directly, as if he didn't want to hear her finish. He turned to look at the Shangguan family's mansion in front of him, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We're at your house, go in." After saying that, he turned around.
Just leave.
"It's not like that!" Shangguan Meng shouted. Su Zhiyu's back froze and did not move. Shangguan Meng's eyes burst out with silver light and continued: "That's not the case. Just like Master Min Hao and Han Xiaotao, love
Shouldn’t it be in one’s own hands? This is the right thing! How can one be happy if it’s just a marriage arranged by the family?”
"We have never been able to have happiness. Sister Huaijin, isn't that just like that?" Su Zhiyu sighed.
Shangguanmeng rushed forward and hugged Su Zhiyu's back, tears streaming down his cheeks. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Over the years, I have been working hard for you to make myself beautiful, ladylike, and perfect.
In order to be worthy of you. I know that I am not good enough, and I also know that there are many women around you, but I still want to work hard and want you to see me. You know how much courage I mustered up to dare
Appear in front of you? Why don't you give me any hope? I just want a chance, why do you have to say this and hurt my heart like this?"
Su Zhiyu's back was a little stiff. He still remembered that the little girl at that time was stubborn and slovenly, with a dirty little face from crying, and immature eyebrows. Now Shangguan Meng is sweet and cute, and her manners are elegant, and she said that all these are
He did it for Su Zhiyu. His heart was filled with something unknown. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. It made him a little unbearable and had no choice but to escape. He pulled her hand away and said, "You seem to be
Misunderstood." Then he turned his head, as if to let her see his affirmative eyes, and continued: "I helped you at that time out of morality and grandpa's intention. And it was just a simple effort, and there was no special meaning.
, you don’t need to keep it in mind. If you do so many things for me, I can only express my gratitude and regret. There are many women who have sacrificed for me, and you are not special. So, live a good life for yourself.
, this is my advice to you in return."
"Senior..." Shangguan Meng looked at Su Zhiyu blankly. His originally sweet and elegant face was covered with tears, and his delicate makeup was stained.
"Go back." Su Zhiyu said lightly, turned and left her sight. He knew that she was always there, so he did not dare to look back. The heavy weight in his heart made him almost breathless. He was inexplicably scared and just wanted to hurry up.
He fled, quickened his pace, and walked into the sunset. The golden sunset dyed his hair golden red, like the morning glow on the horizon, which was too gorgeous and looked sad.
The dark sky pressed down, and Su Zhiyu squinted his eyes under the street lamp. The light pierced his eyeballs like needlepoints, making his vision blurry, and he ignored the touch of moisture. The depression in his chest seemed to have not yet been relieved.
Open, there was a faint ghost in his chest. Su Zhiyu couldn't help but take a few deep breaths to revive his heartbeat, which was so heavy that it was about to stop.
Suddenly a hand appeared in front of him.
Su Zhiyu raised his head, and Min Hao was already standing in front of him. Su Zhiyu smiled, stretched out his hand and asked Min Hao to pull him up from the ground. He asked, "Why are you here?"
Min Hao looked at the sports car next to him and gestured: "When I went to the bar, I heard the bartender said that you were drunk alone. I was not worried, so I drove after you along the road and saw you, Mr. Su, paralyzed in such an embarrassing state.
It's on the ground. It's not the style of a love expert like you to ruin your own image like this."
Su Zhiyu put his hand on Min Hao's shoulder and said proudly: "After washing your face, you will still be the young master Su Zhiyu who is popular among thousands of girls. Do you believe it or not?"
"Xin." Minhao smiled jokingly. "Xin, you are a narcissistic young master."
Su Zhiyu punched him and laughed himself.
"Get in the car, it's time for us two to have a good drink." Min Hao gestured.
"Still drinking?" Su Zhiyu complained, but still got in the car. He turned to look at Cui Minhao and said, "You don't have any problems anymore, do you?"
"Now I'm ready to explain your problem." Min Hao glared at him helplessly and drove to the bar. "You drank too much for no reason. If you don't call me, tell me everything."
"Hey, please stop making random guesses. What can happen to me?" Su Zhiyu said funny.
Min Hao glanced at him and saw the emotion on his profile. He just smiled to himself and didn't say much. No matter what he said, he would naturally say it when he was drunk. This trick was taught by Su Zhiyu.
