On the night of the engagement ceremony between Liu Meiting and Shi Lei, Gao Zijian drove me to the wilderness, avoiding the Liu family who were searching for Shi Lei all over the city, in order to confirm to me once again whether I was willing to do it again.
Give Shi Lei a chance.
"Have you contacted Shi Lei?" I asked in a calm voice, pretending that nothing happened.
"Well, he came to see me last night."
"Gao Zijian, you went crazy all night today just to help Shi Lei ask me this?" I looked at Gao Zijian with some reluctance and asked.
Gao Zijian didn't say anything, which was his acquiescence. Just now, I felt elated because of the little word "jealousy" in his mouth. At this moment, my elation suddenly fell.
"It seems that Mr. Gao invited me here to talk for so long just to make up for the misunderstanding caused by Shi Lei and Wei not taking the initiative to tell me the reason when they broke up last time. Thank you for your hard work, handsome Gao." I tried my best to change my tone.
You have to downplay it and pretend you're not sad.
Kent Takako is too good at pretending. No, it was my own fantasy that made me think that he might like me.
"You don't seem to have any excuse." I looked at Gao Zijian and asked.
Gao Zijian turned around, glanced at me lightly, moved his lips, and turned away again.
If Shi Lei suddenly disappears during tonight's engagement ceremony, then the first person he looks for may be me. Gao Zijian did not take me to Liu Meiting's ceremony. In addition to knowing that Shi Lei would not be there early, he would
I won’t have the slightest worry, for example, worried that Liu Meiting will make things difficult for me?
"Gao Zijian, thank you." My voice was a little hoarse, thank you for telling me how stupid I was.
"Hey, thank me for anything, as long as you are happy." Gao Zijian waved his hand, still looking out the window.
"Ha, you just said that Li Shu asked you to hide it because he wanted you not to tell me that Shi Lei gave up his career for me and gave up being the son-in-law of a wealthy family, right?" Why should I find something to say?
Or, I can understand that Li Shu knew that Gao Zijian liked me, so he felt that Gao Zijian should hide it from me?
"Yes?" Gao Zijian shook his head.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong," I smiled awkwardly and said, "You took so much trouble to help me, and I almost misunderstood."
"Well?" Gao Zijian turned his head, stared at me with his peach blossom eyes, and asked, "What's the misunderstanding?"
"What else could there be, misunderstanding that you like me? Now it seems that I am the one who misunderstood!"
"Chen Xiaojia, don't you hate me?" Gao Zijian looked at me and said, "That time at the train station, I..."
Gao Zijian actually showed a guilty look on his face, am I right?
"Don't worry, I'm a very forgetful person!" I shook my head, glanced at the time, and said, "Since you and Shi Lei have made an appointment, do you want to take me there now?"
Gao Zijian glanced over, and I looked at his tightly clenched fists, and suddenly felt very disappointed.
"Chen Xiaojia, if... I mean if, if I say, I think you are pretty good and I think we are quite suitable, would you... be willing to..."
A truck roared past our car. I looked at Gao Zijian's moving lips, but couldn't hear his words.
"What did you just say? I didn't hear it!" I looked at Gao Zijian nervously and said.
Gao Zijian's Adam's apple trembled twice. I didn't know if he was nervous. I watched his lips move twice and said, "Chen Xiaojia, let me tell you the truth. Actually, I..."
Before Gao Zijian finished speaking, my cell phone rang impatiently. I lowered my head and looked, and the call was actually from Liu Meiting.
I thought about it and pressed the reject button.
Turning to look at Gao Zijian, his cell phone also rang, and I watched him press answer.
"Well... stay with me, yes, where are you now?"
The caller was Shi Lei. Gao Zijian handed me the phone and asked me to answer it.
"Xiao Jia, I'll wait for you at the old place. If you don't come, I will jump down from here." Shi Lei's voice was hoarse, as if he had been drinking.
"Shi Lei, you..." Before I could finish speaking, the phone was hung up.
What does he mean? Where is he going to jump from?
"Shi Lei...Shi Lei said he wanted to jump down? Gao Zijian, do you know where he was talking about?" I grabbed the phone nervously and was immediately at a loss.
Shi Lei has always been young and mature. Could it be that he wants to commit suicide!
"Don't worry, what did he just say?" Gao Zijian held my hand and told me not to be nervous.
"He just said he was going to jump! Gao Zijian, his family has been passed down for three generations, he... he can't..."
"Don't be nervous. Leizi is just too stressed. Think about where he might be now...don't be nervous..."
Shi Lei was talking about the old place and also said jumping down. Could it be...
After Gao Zijian heard me tell me the location, he fastened his seat belt for me, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed over.
By the moat, Da Ben suddenly braked, and I hurriedly ran out. I found that the seat belt was not untied, and when I was about to untie it, Gao Zijian quickly stretched out his hand, looked up at me, and said, "It's untied."
.”
I nodded, pushed open the car door, and ran directly towards the moat.
The last time I was here, Shi Lei knelt on the ground to break up with me, but this time...
The cool night breeze swept across my face, making me shiver. There were only a few street lights around, flickering on and off.
I ran forward anxiously, but my arm was held tightly by Gao Zijian. He said: "Some manhole covers ahead are broken, be careful!"
I nodded and walked towards the moat with him. I looked up and saw that there were not many people in the dark night sky. My palms were all sweaty. Thinking of Shi Lei's words to jump, my temples bulged.
Did I refuse too directly? He gave up so much, I shouldn't be so cruel!
"Over there!" Gao Zijian pointed forward and said loudly.
I raised my head and looked up, and sure enough I saw Shi Lei standing by the moat, looking down at the river. Because I was too anxious, I called out Shi Lei's name.
After Shi Lei heard my voice, he replied hoarsely: "Xiaojia!"
I immediately raised my legs and took a step forward. Then I turned around and looked behind me. Gao Zijian looked at me with an indifferent expression and said, "Go ahead."
I nodded and ran over. When I was still two steps away from Shi Lei, I heard Shi Lei say: "Xiaojia, I can't live without you."
"Shi Lei, you come down first, let's talk slowly, okay?" I saw that Shi Lei had already straddled the moat with one leg, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat, "Even if you don't think about yourself, think about Auntie, she
Can't live without you."
Shi Lei's originally calm face suddenly became excited when he heard "Auntie" and said: "Xiaojia, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have listened to her, I shouldn't have betrayed our feelings, Xiaojia, are you willing to forgive me?"
me?"
"I have forgiven you a long time ago, Shi Lei, can you come down?" I took a step forward, and Shi Lei raised his arm to signal me not to come close.
He looked under the bridge, with dejection written all over his face, and said: "Xiaojia, when I was in college, you often asked me why I didn't want to take you home to meet my mother. In fact, I also want to,
But I'm afraid, Xiaojia, everyone in the town knows that my father ran away with my mistress when I was eight years old, and my mother raised me alone. She...she was really miserable."
It turns out that the reason why Shi Lei never took me to his house was because of this?
"That year, I was ten years old and still in primary school. On the way home, I saw people in the town pointing fingers at me. In fact, I was used to it. After all, everyone knew that my dad was having an affair.
For my mother and I, this person died in front of us a long time ago. We thought this was already bad, but unexpectedly, when we got home, we saw my mother sitting there, crying silently. My father
Died, and died together with the mistress where they lived."
I looked at Shi Lei in surprise and found that his face had a vicissitude that I had never seen before. When we were in love, I noticed that there was always a kind of sadness in his eyes. Now I suddenly understood what happened to Shi Lei.
So sad.
"Xiaojia, before I met you, I was determined. I studied hard, became the best among my peers, lived a low-key life, and gained the favor of teachers and classmates, just to satisfy her. Originally, I thought I was doing
It's enough. I didn't expect that she would force me."
"Shi Lei..."
"Xiaojia, I admit that I was with Liu Meiting for a purpose. I admit that I betrayed the relationship between us. I used to always want to live for her, but now, I want to live for myself," Shi Lei read.
Looking at me, his collar moved slightly in the cool breeze, "Xiaojia, are you willing to give me a chance?"
I looked into Shi Lei's eyes. His black pupils showed despair when he just spoke a few words about the first half of his life. But at this moment, he looked at me with a trace of hope.
"I……"
Shi Lei was so bitter. When he was with me at first, he rarely smiled. Some classmates said he had a good-looking face. Later, his smile gradually became more intense. He never said anything to me about
It's about his family, so... I don't know, he has his own reasons.
"Xiaojia, I know you won't forgive me," Shi Lei looked at me, slowly turned around, lowered his head, looked at the river, and said, "I myself feel that there is no point in living for me.
"
"No!" I rushed forward anxiously, grabbed Shi Lei's arm tightly, and said, "You don't want to die, I won't allow you to die."
Shi Lei also wrapped his arms around me, and his breath was blowing on my forehead. I heard him say: "Xiaojia, I can't live without you."
Sometimes fate really likes to play tricks on people. It will give you a slap in the face and give you a sweet treat. In the end, I thought that many things were back to the original point, but I didn't know that they would never go back.
