Xiaochuan didn't know why Michelle was so well-informed. As soon as he showed up at his publishing company, and Michelle appeared in front of him a few hours later, he even doubted whether Michelle was in his
Her company had planted some kind of spy, but Michelle refused to admit it. She just said that she had a premonition that he was back, so she stopped by to have a look. She also showed off her newly learned Chinese saying "the heart has a tacit understanding", which made Xiaochuan dumbfounded.
Xiaochuan came back this time exhausted physically and mentally, and had no intention of telling Michelle about his return. It was already chaotic enough, and he didn't want to add fuel to the fire, but fortunately, Michelle didn't mention anything about his return.
He just wanted to have dinner together in the evening and relax. Xiaochuan had no reason to refuse. It was fine if he could divert his attention a little. After all, whenever he was free now, Ruochu's words would be repeated automatically in his mind.
Playing, I can't stop even if I want to.
Michelle found a few friends she and Xiaochuan had in common, and Xiaochuan was very grateful to her. However, when they were about to break up at night, others consciously left him and Michelle together, and Xiaochuan proposed.
Sending Michelle back to her home in Washington, Michelle said she forgot her keys at home and needed to ask her agent for them tomorrow.
Xiaochuan had no choice but to drive Michelle back to his apartment, thinking about how to escape from this disaster, because at this moment, he was not in the mood to have a romantic relationship with her. As soon as he got out of the car, Michelle
Er held Xiaochuan's arm tightly and pressed her whole body against him, as if she was afraid that he would leave. Xiaochuan felt a little unnaturally the heat radiating from Michelle's body and the warmth that made people feel at a glance.
I can see the burning enthusiasm, but my heart is still cold.
The elevator reached the designated floor. As soon as the two people got out of the elevator, Xiaochuan couldn't help but be stunned. A girl was sitting on the carpet next to the door of her apartment against the wall, holding a travel backpack in her arms and leaning her head on the bag.
He seems to have fallen asleep. Who is Ruochu?
Surprise, heartache, and then anger rising, this girl fell asleep so unprepared, what if something happened? Not to mention being unable to explain to the north and south, even I would be hurt to death, in today's world
Only Ruochu could make his emotions change so quickly.
Xiaochuan shook off Michelle's clinging and walked quickly to Ruochu, squatted down and pushed her arm with his hand, but the girl didn't respond.
"Ruoruo, wake up..." Xiaochuan shouted while pushing. Ruochu moved, first rubbed his eyes, and then looked at everything around him in confusion. When he saw Xiaochuan in front of him clearly, he
Show a surprised smile.
Xiaochuan, on the other hand, glanced at her with a frown, stood up, and extended his hand to Ruochu. Ruochu originally wanted to hand it to him, but when he saw Michelle next to him, the surprise on his face
She disappeared in an instant and struggled to stand up. Because she had been in the same position for a long time, one foot was not stable. She quickly stretched out one hand to hold the wall to support her body, and used the other hand to rub her numb knees.
, the bag in his arms had to fall to the ground.
Ruochu had been waiting here all afternoon. He ran over as soon as he got off the plane. He was tired and hungry. He still looked so embarrassed in front of Michelle. He couldn't help feeling frustrated. He lowered his head and looked at his toes without saying anything.
Xiaochuan bent down and picked up Ruochu's bag and patted it: "Why are you here?" he asked calmly.
"I have something to tell you." Ruochu raised his head and glanced at Xiaochuan, then at Michelle.
"Then you two, father and daughter, let's talk. I'll leave first." Michelle said knowingly.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?" Xiaochuan seemed to realize something. He put his arm around Michelle's waist, deliberately looked very intimate and pressed into her ear and asked, "Don't you have nowhere to go?"
Michelle smiled and tried to push him away: "I can go to my friend's house, you won't be worried, right?"
"Of course I'm not worried..." Xiaochuan said hoarsely in her ear with a magnetic and charming voice, and his posture was nothing short of flirting.
Ruochu turned her head to avoid seeing the actions of Xiaochuan and Michelle, but she could not block her ears. She had never suffered such injustice since she was a child. Seeing the person she loved flirting with others in front of her eyes, she was thousands of miles away.
Did you come all the way here just to watch this? You tried your best to hold back your tears, and you must never lose your composure in front of Michelle again.
Xiaochuan noticed Ruochu's expression and felt a little unbearable in his heart, "Baby, you go in first, I'll come back as soon as I go." He said this to Michelle. As he spoke, he took out the key and opened the door, looking at Mi
Xie Er entered his apartment and closed the door, "Come with me." Xiaochuan looked at Ruochu and sighed and said.
Xiaochuan walked in front, holding Ruochu's bag. Ruochu followed behind without saying a word, entering the elevator, exiting the apartment building, and getting in the car. The two of them didn't communicate at all.
Xiaochuan drove to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and bought some items such as shrimp dumplings to pack, and then drove to his big house in the suburbs.
That was the home he and Monica used to live in. After Monica left, he moved out and preferred to live in a single apartment. He explained that it was for the convenience of work. In fact, he had many memories that he didn't want to look back on. But because he usually had
It is taken care of by professionals, so you can move in at any time.
"Where are we going?" As the car was driving, Ruochu couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and couldn't help but ask.
"My family." Xiaochuan spoke concisely and concisely, cherishing words like gold.
…
After a while, "Did I disturb you and Michelle?" Ruochu said coldly, looking straight ahead.
…
Xiaochuan chose silence instead of answering.
"Did you do it because of her?" What Ruochu meant by this sentence was "Did you reject me because of her?" But the second half of the sentence was not spoken, but she knew that Xiaochuan understood what she meant.
Xiaochuan still didn't make a sound.
"Will you marry her?" Ruochu suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiaochuan and asked, "Answer me." His tone was a little urgent.
"Maybe..." Xiaochuan replied lazily, "I'm thinking about it..."
Ruochu kept silent until he reached his destination.
Xiaochuan carried Ruochu's bag and the food he bought for her into the living room, and Ruochu followed in, "Let's eat something first, and then go to bed early. You must be tired too." Xiaochuan
He put the things down, rubbed his hands and said.
Ruochu stood there without moving, just looking straight at Xiaochuan.
"Okay, let's talk. What do you want to tell me? Sit down." Xiaochuan knew that she couldn't escape. Since she could chase him to the United States, she could also chase him to Mars. If he could leave the earth,
if.
"Do you still remember what you said when you were in the hospital?" Ruochu sat across from Xiaochuan and looked at him and said.
"What are you referring to?" Xiaochuan remembered that he said many things, but he didn't know which one she was referring to.
"You said you could promise me something, anything, remember?"
Xiaochuan nodded slightly.
"Okay, I want you to fulfill your promise now, okay?" Ruochu's voice was solemn and serious. Xiaochuan was fighting fiercely in his heart. He didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, but he did agree.
You can't break your promise if you pass her.
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Ruochu seemed to notice Xiaochuan's hesitation and added.
"You say it, as long as I can do it." The subtext is that it does not violate his bottom line.
"I want you to promise me not to marry Michelle within a year, is that okay?" Ruochu stated her request carefully, and then nervously waited for Xiaochuan's answer.
"That's the request?" Xiaochuan asked in disbelief. Is it really that... that simple? He thought she was going to force him to marry her?
"Yes, that's the request."
"I promise you." Xiaochuan agreed quickly and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Thank you." Ruochu's expression relaxed a lot, and she also showed a look of fatigue, but she started to open the food Xiaochuan bought. It was already midnight and she was already hungry.
Xiaochuan poured a glass of water for Ruochu and was fascinated by her cute eating look.
"Don't you want to eat?" Ruochu suddenly thought of something and wiped his mouth and asked.
"Ruoruo, can you tell me why it's one year?" Xiaochuan ignored Ruochu's words and expressed the questions in his heart.
"Well, one year is enough..." Ruo Chu picked up the water cup and drank.
"What's enough?" Xiaochuan continued to ask.
"Enough for you to realize that you love me..." Ruochu put down the water glass and replied lightly.
When Xiaochuan got up the next day, Ruochu had already left. Because this was a suburb, he was worried about Ruochu living alone, so he stayed last night. Ruochu was upstairs and he was downstairs.
Ruochu left him a letter, the general content of which was that he didn't have to run away from her at all, she wouldn't pester him, and there were domestic matters that he should rest assured that she could take care of, and he didn't say anything else.
.He came and left so suddenly, leaving Xiaochuan feeling empty.
Compared with the past few days, Ruochu feels much more settled now. She originally thought she couldn't live without him, but now, she decided to cheer up and focus on work. She has to learn to adapt to the days when he is not around.
It's no big deal, he's always in her heart anyway, and that's enough.
At the same time, she also believed that he would change his mind, wake up, and realize his love. She would wait for him to take the initiative to come to her, and then promise her happiness.
Guarding the home they shared and working hard to finish the two magazines were all the manifestations of her love for him. Just the thought of working for him made Ruochu full of motivation.
We cannot force others, nor can we change our destiny, but we can find a balance point or substitute and strive to achieve inner peace, hold on to a hope, work silently and wait, be non-persistent, not impetuous, and have confidence.
Believe that what is yours will always be yours, and there is no need to be demanding if it is not yours.
Ruochu was actually betting again, but this time she no longer cared about winning or losing. No matter what the result would be a year later, at least she had tried hard. If that happiness was really not destined for her, then she would accept it calmly.
, because besides happiness, there are many things in life that she still needs to experience and feel.
