As soon as Fang Rui returned to the main room, he saw that the foodie Lao Bian was already eating with relish. Fang Rui was so fiery that he snatched his chopsticks away, "This is the surprise you said you wanted to give me!"
Lao Bian said innocently, "Um, Ruizi...actually, this is not what I meant as a buddy."
Fang Rui glared at him angrily, "Who does that mean?"
"What Fangfang means... Ruizi, please don't do this, okay?"
Lao Bian sighed and saw that Fang Rui didn't say anything, so he said:
"Ruizi, I know you hate Lin Shiqi. If it hadn't been for her, Zhao Yali wouldn't have been warned by the school, and she wouldn't have run to Guangdong out of anger. You wouldn't have dropped out of school to pursue her, and you wouldn't have delayed your studies.
I have been suffering outside for a few more years... But Ruizi, the past is like wind, let it pass, what's the point of worrying about it anymore, and wallowing in it?"
Listening to Lao Bian recounting the painful past that he had not dared to look back on for several years, Fang Rui frowned and pondered.
Lao Bian looked at him and said, "Actually, Lin Shiqi regretted it very much after you left No. 13 Middle School. She found us many times and asked us to give you your phone number and QQ number. At that time, because she was the one who caused you to leave, we also
I hated her so much that I didn’t tell her... Also, I heard from Fangfang that Lin Shiqi has never been in love in these years, and she has always had you in her heart... After experiencing that incident, she gradually changed herself.
With a big, arrogant and selfish character, she should be very calm and humble now..."
Listening to Lao Bian's well-intentioned narration, Fang Rui calmed down from the pain of the past, bit his lip and pondered quietly for a moment, and finally sighed, "Forget it, let the past go. From now on, these things will be gone."
Don’t mention it again, let’s eat.”
……………………
A square dining table.
Fang Rui sat on one side, Lao Bian sat on the other side, Lin Fangfang sat on the other side, and mother Yu Yinghong and Lin Shiqi sat on the other side.
Fang Rui thought about his thoughts and silently picked up the food.
Lao Bian doesn't care about anything, he keeps eating from the sea, and he still has the same moral character of being reincarnated as a starving ghost.
Lin Fangfang wanted to keep up her appearance, but the taste of the food was so fragrant that she couldn't resist the temptation and kept eating. When it came to eating, she and Lao Bian were a match made in heaven, and they were very close as a couple.
.
Lin Shiqi lowered her eyebrows and glanced up at Fang Rui secretly from time to time. When she saw Fang Rui's angular face, she recalled the dream that was repeated again and again, and now that he was so close, Lin Shiqi's heart was pounding.
Lin Shiqi was thinking about her thoughts, her chopsticks barely reached into the vegetable bowl, and she was picking rice one by one, as if she wanted to count how many rice she had eaten.
Yu Yinghong didn't see anything wrong with Lin Shiqi. She thought it was her first time to eat at someone else's house and she was too embarrassed to pick up food, so she put a piece of eel meat into her bowl and said with concern, "Sister, don't just eat.
, eat more vegetables.”
Lin Shiqi said gratefully to Yu Yinghong, "Thank you, auntie."
Yu Yinghong laughed and said, "Thank you for anything. Just treat it as eating at your own home. You're welcome."
Lin Shiqi nodded lightly, picked up the eel meat and took a small bite. She felt it was extremely tender. She tasted it carefully and thought about the taste of the dishes prepared by the chefs in her hotel. Isn't it just like this?
After chewing the eel meat carefully, Lin Shiqi smiled softly at Yu Yinghong and said, "Auntie, this dish you made is so delicious."
Yu Yinghong smiled and told Lin Shiqi softly, "Auntie didn't do it, it was Xiaorui."
Lin Shiqi couldn't help but blush when she heard this. She raised her head and glanced at him again, thinking to herself, it turns out that he is not only handsome and has the masculinity of a man, but also the food is so delicious! With his skills, he can definitely go there.
He is the chef of his own Huatian Hotel.
……………………
The atmosphere at the dinner table was somewhat dull.
Fang Rui hurriedly picked up two bowls of rice and left the main room.
When we came to the pond, the water in the pond was half dry.
After checking the time, it was only after twelve o'clock. It seemed that the water in the pond could be drained before three o'clock.
Not wanting to go back to the house, Fang Rui sat down on the grass by the pond, casually picked up a piece of foxtail grass and played with it in his hand, recalling the past in high school in his mind.
Just like what Lao Bian said, if Lin Shiqi had not reported her love affair with Zhao Yali to the Education Office, distorted the facts, put pressure on the school without using her family's connections, and not provoked Zhao Yali away...if Zhao Yali had not gone to Guangdong
, she would not be tempted by the colorful world outside, and she would not be cruel enough to leave herself... And if she had not left school, Zhao Yali might have stayed with her forever, and she would have been admitted to university...
All in all, the trajectory of my life will be completely different from what it is now.
But there are not so many ifs in the world. Once something happens, no one can change it.
Fang Rui clearly remembered how deeply he hated Lin Shiqi after the series of events that year. Especially when Zhao Yali resolutely left him and fell into the arms of the Hong Kong businessman, his hatred for her reached its peak.
Although this kind of hatred gradually faded away with the healing of the heartache and the passage of time. However, Lin Shiqi's selfish, arrogant and vicious image was deeply imprinted on Fang Rui's heart. Fang Rui
I don’t want to see this person again, just like I don’t want to see Zhao Yali again.
In fact, Fang Rui is not a narrow-minded person who likes to hold grudges, but if you don't take things to heart, then it can only be said that you are a person who suffers a lot and has a long memory, and is too bloodless.
As he thought about it, Fang Rui felt the urge to vent.
There was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the direction of the house. The footsteps stopped a few meters behind him. Fang Rui did not look back. He knew that Lin Shiqi was coming.
"Fang...Fang Rui, can I talk to you?" Lin Shiqi's voice was careful and sincere.
Fang Rui didn't answer. Old Bian's words, "Lin Shiqi hasn't been in love these years, she has always been in love with you" echoed in her ears. Fang Rui's eyes fell on the water of the pond. A gust of wind blew by, blowing microwaves on the water.
Ripples, just like Fang Rui's state of mind at this moment.
"I'm sorry, Fang Rui, I was wrong back then. It was normal to fall in love in high school. I shouldn't have gone to the guidance office to stir up trouble, and I shouldn't have used my family status to put pressure on the school. I shouldn't have forced Zhao Yali to leave. I shouldn't have forced her to leave.
You..." Lin Shiqi whispered, her words and tone were extremely sincere.
"That's enough!" Fang Rui suddenly turned around and glanced at Lin Shiqi, his eyes quickly passing by. Fang Rui wanted to yell at her, but Lao Bian's words rang in his ears again: The past is like the wind, and the past is gone.
What's the point of letting it go and worrying about it or wallowing in it?"
Yes, let the past go with the wind, not to mention that Lin Shiqi also realized her mistake and sincerely apologized to herself. Forget it, forget it. Fang Rui finally moved his eyes back, staring at Lin Shiqi's
He opened his eyes and said calmly, "Lin Shiqi, don't mention the past anymore. We are classmates. This is a rare fate. We just need to learn to cherish each other from now on."
"Have you forgiven me?" Lin Shiqi could not restrain her joy when Fang Rui said this.
"There is no question of forgiveness or not. I just keep the memory in the past and treat it as if it never happened... Also, we were classmates once and we will only be classmates in the future. I hope we can maintain it well."
This kind of relationship." Fang Ruifeng said lightly, his eyes looking towards the sky, looking very deep and ethereal...
"Then, can we be friends? The meaning of Fang Rui's words is very obvious. After waiting for five years for such a sentence, Lin Shiqi felt a stab of pain in her heart. She held back the tears in her eyes and kept them from falling.
Staring at him blankly like this, Lin Shiqi felt that the world in front of her was dark.
"The word "friend" has been used for two months, which means to treat each other with sincerity. Do you think we can just call them friends casually?" Fang Rui said coldly, got up and walked home.
