It is better to love than to be loved, because you can choose first. - Bosak
——
If Ruochu didn't understand, why in the end it was Xia Tian who got drunk and fell unconscious, while he was fine. Shouldn't he be the one who should get drunk and drink away his sorrows?
Xia Tian was drunk and kept mumbling, "Ruoruo, you shouldn't..." "Ruoruo, you are wrong..." "Ruoruo, just listen to my words, okay?"
Hearing this, Ruochu was both sad and moved. Maybe Xia Tian didn't understand her and didn't agree with her relationship with her father, but she could feel that it was the most genuine concern from a friend. She really felt for her.
For the sake of.
In the end, Ruochu dialed Rousseau's number for the first time. After receiving the call, Rousseau rushed to the bar where Ruochu and Xia Tian were staying without any delay.
"Ruoruo, you..." Rousseau was so excited when he saw Ruochu that he didn't know what to say.
"Take Xia Tian back. She's drunk. Help me take good care of her." Ruochu picked up the bag next to her and stood up to leave.
"Wait, wait..." Seeing that Ruochu was leaving, Rousseau hurriedly asked her to stay. It was not easy for him to see her once. This was a rare opportunity, but she took the initiative to call him. How could he miss it so easily? Because of the music in the bar
The voice was louder, and Rousseau was in a hurry. He was almost shouting.
Ruochu frowned and said, "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it another day. Don't you see that Xia Tian is feeling uncomfortable? Go back and make some honey water for her and spit it out."
"But, I have something to tell you..." Rousseau still couldn't just watch Ruochu leave. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and he didn't know when she cut her long hair short.
"Rousseau, you have the obligation to take Xia Tian back after you sent her here. I'll leave first." Ruochu glanced at Xia Tian who was leaning on the bar, and insisted on leaving under Rousseau's burning gaze.
The moonlight is so beautiful. Maybe it’s because the air becomes fresher after leaving the bar. Ruo Chu feels relaxed and happy, and feels that the dark black sky has become higher and higher, making the moonlight especially charming and enchanting. After walking a few steps along the road, I really want to
Walking home like this, a taxi stopped beside her very considerately. Ruochu smiled and shook her head and got into the car. It seems that romance requires the right time, place and right people.
The next day, he called Xia Xia to make sure that she was fine. He felt relieved. Xia Tian asked her again on the phone not to tell Rousseau about her and Humbert. Ruo Chu was noncommittal, neither refused nor agreed. If it was true,
At that point, she believed that Rousseau had the right to know the truth. She understood Xia Tian's kindness, but this did not become a reason to deceive Rousseau.
If Chu decided that even if she and Humbert had no future, of course she had already been mentally prepared for this, she would not hide Rousseau's matter because it would be unfair to him. She would have to tell him sooner or later,
It's just a matter of timing.
The opportunity came quickly. Of course, Ruochu didn't find it intentionally, but she was forced to do so because Xiaoqing and Bernard came back.
The Earl and Mrs. Cromwell spent the whole autumn traveling around the world. This was probably the longest honeymoon trip. Then they decided to go back to China to make their relationship public. Of course, a party at Qin's house was indispensable.
The first stop for Xiaoqing and Bernard was to go back to Xiaoqing's home. The second stop was Qin's house. Not to mention giving gifts, this time I would like to ask everyone to help with their wedding in China. Xiaoqing and Bernard
De also decided to let Qin Nan and Qin Bei be their witnesses. For such a big event, Ruochu had to participate even if she was afraid of meeting Rousseau, not to mention she really wanted to be her mother.
Bernard originally wanted to invite everyone to the hotel, and did not want to trouble Qin Nan to organize the party again, but Xiaoqing was not happy with it. She liked to gather at Qin's house, saying that it felt like home and was cordial, so when Bernard and Xiaoqing returned home
On the evening of the second day in China, everyone gathered at Qin's house again, except that Xiaochuan was missing, just like Ruochu's eighteenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony.
Xiaoqing's return can be said to be the happiest thing for Ruochu since her father left. Moreover, Ruochu, as the main person who brought together the earl and his wife, was also one of the stars that night second only to the hero and heroine. He was happy to return.
He was happy, but when he thought that his father was still there when everyone got together last time, even though he was not very talkative, and this time, he was the only one missing, Ruochu still felt a little depressed.
"Ruoruo, what are you thinking about? I see you are always worried today? Do you want to get married?" During the dinner, Xiaoqing called Ruochu's name in front of everyone, and the last sentence caused a stir.
He laughed, and Ruochu also smiled sheepishly.
"Everyone is so happy today. Oh, and by the way, my brother is missing. If he were here, everyone would be here." Xiaoqing started talking about Xiaochuan. Ruochu's heart moved, and she really hoped to hear about it.
Even if it’s just a few words about him, it’s okay.
"The same goes for Xiaochuan. He said he was coming back to develop his career, but he went back without saying hello. We didn't even have time to say goodbye." Speaking of Xiaochuan, Zheng Fang immediately answered.
"Maybe there is something to deal with over there. I don't know if he encountered any difficulties. He hasn't come back for so long and he refuses to tell us." Qin Nan said worriedly.
"Oh, it's nothing. I contacted Bernard before he returned to China..." When Xiaoqing said this, Ruochu's hand shook and the spoon fell to the ground. Ruochu hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but still
Xia Tian, who was sitting opposite her, immediately stared at her.
"We originally wanted him to come back to attend our wedding in China, but he said he had something to do and couldn't leave, so Bernard and we went directly to Washington to see him..." Xiaoqing didn't pay attention to Ruochu's actions and continued to talk about Xiao
Things about Sichuan.
At this time, Ruochu had already sat up straight, with his head lowered, but he listened carefully to every word Xiaoqing said.
"Then did he say when he would be back?" Qin Nan continued to ask.
"I didn't say that, but he said that he would definitely come back if something big happened, such as getting married or something. Small things like me and Bernard can't alarm others." Xiaoqing said, not forgetting to joke and laugh at herself, "Yes.
Oh, Ruoruo, hurry up and marry Rousseau, so that your dad can come back and hang out with everyone, don’t you want him to come back?"
Ruochu's face turned red and white. Ever since Xiaoqing mentioned Xiaochuan, her heart had been in her throat. Now the topic was brought to her again, and she also knew that Rousseau was sitting next to Xia Tian and looking at her. She felt her chest
She was so worried that she said, "Godmother, Uncle Bernard, you guys eat slowly. I've finished eating and I feel a little uncomfortable. Let's go back to the room and take a rest." Although I know it's impolite to leave the table in the middle, if I continue like this, if
Chu Zhen was afraid that he would lose his temper. There were many smart people here. Since Xia Tian could see it, there was no guarantee that he would not be able to hide it from others.
As soon as Ruochu entered his room, Rousseau followed him in before the door could be closed.
"Can I come in?" Rousseau said, closing the door behind him.
"Didn't you come in already?" Ruochu frowned.
"Let's talk," said Rousseau.
Ruochu took a deep breath. What was supposed to come would come sooner or later. You couldn't hide, so you had to face it. "Sit down." Ruochu pointed to Rousseau at the chair next to the desk. He sat down.
On to the windowsill.
"Are you still angry with me?" Rousseau said frankly. He had always regretted that time he went to see Xiaochuan. He also believed that Xiaochuan left China for himself, so he felt uncomfortable when everyone mentioned Xiaochuan just now.
.
"Why should I be angry with you?" Ruochu asked.
"Because I went to Uncle Xiaochuan, for... our matter." Rousseau paused, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone to him, and I shouldn't have listened to the rumors, otherwise he wouldn't have left..." Rousseau said like this
After coming out, he himself could unload some of the burden he had carried all along, not just to seek forgiveness from Ruochu.
"Rousseau, I don't blame you for this matter, it has nothing to do with you." Ruochu interrupted him, "If I complained about this matter before, then I don't blame you at all now. You don't have to think about it too much.
."
"Really? So you forgive me?" Rousseau had a look of surprise on his face.
"Yeah." Ruochu nodded solemnly.
"But, then why are you avoiding me?" Rousseau thought for a while and realized that something was wrong. Since he was no longer angry, why couldn't he behave like before?
"Rousseau, there are things I don't want to hide from you anymore..." Ruochu was thinking about how to say the next words, and Rousseau looked at her nervously.
"Don't wait for me anymore, find a good girl who is worthy of you, fall in love and get married." Ruochu said this and turned to look at Rousseau, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Ruoruo, tell me what happened, tell me quickly..." Rousseau immediately became nervous after hearing what Ruochu said was wrong.
"I, I have fallen in love with someone, so, don't wait for me..." Ruochu's voice was not loud, and he tilted his head towards the window.
Rousseau walked up to Ruochu in a few steps, stretched out his hands and turned Ruochu's head towards him, gritted his teeth and asked: "Tell me who it is?"
Ruochu glanced at Rousseau's eyes and felt as if flames were about to burst out. He tried to break free from his grasp, but was unable to do so, so he simply stopped struggling and said calmly: "You should know."
Rousseau was stunned for a moment, then the strength in his hand slowly relaxed, and finally he hung down feebly, "Is it Uncle Xiaochuan?" Ruochu didn't answer.
"Tell me, don't you?" Rousseau suddenly raised his voice and shouted.
"Yes." Ruochu replied firmly with one word.
Rousseau's expression was desperate at first, and then he chuckled twice, "You are so stupid. Do people love you? If they love you, will they leave?"
"It doesn't matter whether he loves me or not, as long as I love him, it's enough. It has nothing to do with him, and it has nothing to do with you." Ruochu was poked at a painful spot, and he became sharp.
Rousseau's eyes gradually deepened and his eyes began to turn red. So before he lost his composure, he turned to leave Ruochu's room. When his hand touched the doorknob, he said, "Remember, I will not give up, because I love you."
, and it has nothing to do with you.”
After saying that, he opened the door and walked out resolutely.
