Leng Xing looked at the flickering fireworks between his fingers. There was a cigarette burning between his fingers, and the smoke was swirling around his fingers. His eyes were sunk in the smoke, appearing and disappearing. Looking back, there was a cigarette on the table.
The shell that he loved as much as life had become very smooth due to regular touch, and it shone faintly in the light.
He put out the cigarette butts, then picked up the phone on the table and called Xiaoyu in. Then he told her to arrange the purchase of the island. He wanted to buy the island in his own name.
After hearing his plan, Xiaoyu exclaimed: "Chairman, why did you buy it in your own name? Even now you can handle it in the name of the board of directors."
"I want to do something to make her happy, in my own name." Leng Xing looked forward indifferently.
Xiaoyu stared blankly at the concern on Leng Xing's face, and suddenly realized that her persistence for so many years would never yield any results. She lowered her head sadly and walked out quietly.
Two days later, Leng Xing handed all the data on the island, including all the procedures before and after buying the island, into Ziyi's hands.
Ziyi's head has been hurting for the past two days, and she will remember some moments before she was four years old. But she doesn't want to tell Chu Shitian, nor Bing Meng, nor the one who doesn't want to recognize her from beginning to end.
Mom. She just lived her life in unusual silence. She didn’t resist anything the doctor said. When people came to see her, she just looked at her coldly without saying a word. Only when she saw Feiyang, her eyes would
Have a little smile.
Leng Xing called Chu Shitian to tell him. If he hadn't told him, he would have been searching for her everywhere without any clue. Yuki never came to the hospital from beginning to end, and didn't even say hello on the phone. In the dead of night, everyone
, Ziyi looked up at the ceiling and laughed at herself: Why do you still think that she can come and see him? She must be wishing that she would die.
Just as Ziyi was guessing, Qianxing came in. When she saw Ziyi, she shouted: "Ziyi——" and burst into tears.
Ziyi smiled and pulled her up: "Okay, don't cry. Why don't I just stay here?"
When Qian Xing heard this, he jumped up and yelled at her: "You heartless person, I've been looking for you for so long, and you disappeared. Don't you know I'm worried about you?"
"I'm sorry, Qian Xing, I should have told you." Zi Yi lowered her head.
Qianxing looked at the tiredness in her eyes and said softly: "Yi, no matter whether you have parents or not, whether they want you or not, I will still be your friend."
Ziyi nodded: "I know."
"If you know that, you can't disappear suddenly like this again." Qian Xing hit her on the head. The two girls immediately got into a fuss.
When Leng Xing came, Qian Xing had already left. She was standing in front of the window, staring at the lights outside in a daze. Feeling the movement behind her, she turned her head and met Leng Xing's eyes like a deep pool. She
Her heart couldn't help but tremble, as if something was about to come out of her chest. She had felt that feeling before, but she always suppressed it every time it came.
"Xiaoyi..."
Leng Xing whispered. At this moment, she seemed to be very much like the cute little girl many years ago, with bright eyes, looking at him hopefully, as if he could do everything for him. And he did.
I am also willing to do everything for her.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Zi Yi asked after seeing what Leng Xing was holding.
"This is the ownership of the island. Now, the island belongs to you. You can do whatever you want with it." Leng Xing took a breath and froze all his blood.
"Belongs to me?" Zi Yi took the information doubtfully.
"Yes, I bought it. What you have in your hand is the contract of the island. You can let those people go back and still make a living by fishing." Leng Xing looked at her with gentle eyes.
"You didn't help me? Why are you helping me now?"
"Ziyi, I'm sorry. I wanted to test Leng Chen and me that day, which one do you care about? I want to know if you would go to him instead of me." Leng Xing looked outside.
, only in front of Zi Yi, he will not be that cold and indifferent person who is so cold that everyone avoids him. Only in front of Zi Yi, will he look like a normal person, with joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
"Leng Xing, you—" Ziyi's eyes suddenly opened wide and wide, looking at him in surprise.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Now, the island belongs to you. You can leave it empty or live in it, it's up to you."
"Really?" Ziyi's eyes lit up.
"Really, I've never lied to you, right?"
Ziyi tilted her head and thought seriously: "Yes, you have never lied to me, thank you! You are the only person who has never lied to me."
"Xiao Yi, in fact, Leng Chen -" Seeing her eyes suddenly become lifeless, his voice stopped.
"Don't mention him to me, okay?" As soon as she heard that name, she felt her heart tightening.
"Okay, then you should have a good rest. The doctor said you haven't had a good rest these days, and your headaches have become more and more serious recently. So you should get more rest."
"Well, then you go back and do your work." Ziyi lay down under Leng Xing's gaze. Watching his back disappear behind the door, she suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in her heart.
Leng Xing was walking on the road leading to the rooftop. He had not been to this place for a long time. When he encountered something unpleasant in the past, he and Leng Chen would vent out there together.
The moment he stepped on it, he stopped. Leng Chen was sitting on the rooftop, looking at the stars in the sky in a daze. When he heard the footsteps, he didn't look back, and still looked at the sky quietly.
Leng Xing slowly walked to him and sat down.
"What are you thinking about?" Leng Xing asked.
"Thinking about many things." He sighed and shook his dangling feet.
"It seems like we brothers haven't chatted together for a long time."
"Yes! You have been busy with the family business these years and have no time."
"You are also busy opening a bar with your bad friends. You are so busy that you can't see anyone."
"Tch, that's my best friend." Leng Chen said with disapproval.
Suddenly both of them became quiet.
After thinking about it for a long time, Leng Xing decided to ask it himself: "Chen, tell the truth. Have you ever really liked her?"
Leng Chen turned around and saw a seriousness in Leng Xing's eyes that he had never seen before. His heart suddenly shook, as if something was stabbing him in the heart.
"What about you?" He quickly turned his head and stopped looking at him.
"A long time ago, I decided that she was my destined girl, and now..." Leng Xing didn't finish his words, his eyes were looking forward. Leng Chen looked at him with his head tilted slightly, and there was a kind of feeling in his eyes.
The look he was familiar with. It was a kind of brilliance that only people in love would have, but it just flickered and it went out.
"What are you going to do about the island?" Leng Chen took a long breath and said without looking at him, staring at the twinkling stars in the sky.
"I bought the island in my own name." Leng Xing also looked at the sky and said calmly.
"What?" Leng Chen jumped up in shock and shouted: "You mean you bought it with your personal property? Doesn't it cost tens of millions? Where is our investment? It's all gone?"
"I said that I would do anything for her." Leng Xing's voice was still as light as boiled water, without any fluctuation.
Leng Chen's voice stopped abruptly after hearing these words. He could think about her, so why couldn't he think about her? He only thought about himself every time. However, that was the birthday gift he gave her.
Ah, how much hard work he had spent? What is this? Her words turned all his hard work into pieces.
"Shishi, she is still a very innocent girl, don't make her sad." Leng Xing said lightly.
Leng Chen's heart was shocked again. Shishi, he had no idea what she was thinking.
"I will go find her and explain things clearly. That night, she and I were both drunk." When he said this, his mind echoed over and over again what Shishi had just said in the hospital.
, does she really like herself? But why can't she see anything that shows that she likes him? But even if she likes herself, he can't like her. His heart has already been given to another girl.
.
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest." Leng Xing stood up. He still looked so cold and indifferent, but there was a layer of melancholy in his eyes. But he hid it well and would hardly be discovered.
"You go ahead, I want to sit for a while." Leng Chen said without looking back.
"Then don't sit there for too long." After saying that, Leng Xing walked away.
Facing the night sky, Leng Chen took out the shell that slipped out of Shishi's pocket from his collar. In the moonlit night, it shone with a faint light. Leng Chen put it on his face and said softly: "Ziyi
, what should I do before you are willing to forgive me?"
After a while, he stood up and walked outside.
On the street, Shishi walked slowly alone. The starry sky at night was very beautiful, clean and bright. The stars were blinking. She raised her head and looked at the distant sky.
On the street, her eyes were confused. She didn’t know where she was going or where to live. Suddenly, her body shook. There seemed to be a familiar shadow there, looking up at the sky. She seemed very sad. Her heart suddenly
The ground beat faster. Is it him? But how could it be him? He should be with Ziyi in the hospital now. He should be with the girl he has always regarded as a treasure. She shook her head with a wry smile.
.and then walked forward unconsciously.
Leng Chen saw Shishi from far away. He stopped and pursed his lips tightly. He thought: She must have seen him, otherwise, why would she keep walking this way.
Lowering her head and stepping on the stones, Shishi suddenly felt she had hit a wall. She touched her sore forehead, frowned and raised her head, and saw Leng Chen's bright eyes. She turned around and ran away.
, but was caught by Leng Chen's arm. She struggled hard but couldn't break free, so she let him hold her.
They were relatively speechless for a while. Leng Chen spoke, but his tone was cold: "Why did you run so fast in the hospital?"
Shishi lowered her head and fiddled with the corners of her clothes, her heart pounding.
"Tell me, is what you said in the hospital true?" Leng Chen suddenly became more forceful.
"Let me go!" Shishi shook off his hand, rubbed her aching arm, and glared at him fiercely.
Realizing that he had used too much force, Leng Chen relaxed his tone and asked, "Those words of yours are nonsense, right? You and I were both so drunk that we didn't know what was going on that night, right?"
Shishi bit her lip tightly and looked into Leng Chen's eyes. She suddenly shouted uncontrollably: "I'm not, I didn't talk nonsense. I did have a trace of consciousness that night. So, everything is mine."
It's voluntary and has nothing to do with you at all. You don't have to take any responsibility for me." After saying that, she ran forward like crazy, tears falling from her eyes.
A car happened to be speeding over from the opposite side. Leng Chen was shocked and rushed forward to grab her and put himself in front of the car. Fortunately, the car was stopped in time and the driver stuck his head out of the cab and cursed: "I don't want to
Are you alive? Don't hurt me if you don't want to live." Shishi was still in shock and did not react. After understanding the situation, she shouted to him: "Are you crazy? How could you run in front of the car?
"
"You're crazy. You just rushed onto the road without even looking at the car. Are you trying to scare me?" Leng Chen's tone was not much better.
"Okay, it's good that the young couple is fine." said an old woman beside her.
"We are not a young couple." Leng Chen and Shishi said in unison.
The old lady smiled and said: "Oh, it's not like the young couple has such a tacit understanding. Okay, I have to leave too. You guys go home slowly and make noise."
Shishi's face suddenly turned red.
Leng Chen still looked stinky.
Shishi looked at his tense face and finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. Leng Chen stared at her angrily, and she pursed her lips: "Why, is it illegal for me to laugh?"
"Hmph, don't rush forward so recklessly next time, do you understand?" Leng Chen said with a somewhat firm tone.
Shishi suddenly sighed quietly and said softly: "If you say this, I will think you care about me."
"I always care about you." Leng Chen returned to his carefree look, and his eyes saw Ziyi walking towards this side.
Shishi's heart skipped a beat: "What?"
"Since you like me, why are you avoiding me? Do you think I won't be responsible for you?" Leng Chen pulled Shishi's body and looked at her seriously, pretending not to see Ziyi's arrival.
Shishi was shocked and raised her head to look at him, wondering how much of his words were sincere.
Ziyi clenched her fingers so hard that her palms turned white and her body was shaky, but she still stood upright. The pain in her heart made her unable to even feel the pain in her palms.
"Are you serious?" Shishi's eyes were filled with tears and she looked at him tearfully.
Leng Chen suddenly felt that he couldn't bear to deceive this innocent girl anymore. He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then tell her the truth. But Shishi hugged him and held her head
Buried in his arms, there was unconcealed fear and panic in her voice, and her body was trembling slightly: "Don't lie to me, okay? I've been lied to so hard, so hard."
Faced with Shishi's sudden loss of control, Leng Chen was dumbfounded for a moment and even forgot to push her away. He raised her head and made her look directly into his eyes. Looking at her blurred tearful eyes,
A kind of protection and pity inherent in men still emerged. Then, he forgot that his original intention was just to make Ziyi angry. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead...
Zi Yi looked at their embrace blankly. This was the first time she had seen their close contact with her own eyes. It was also the first time all her dreams had been shattered. She had secretly believed Leng Chen's explanation and felt that they should
She did something like that when she was drunk that night. But now, that scene was so clearly displayed in front of her, she just felt her heart become cold, and it seemed that there was nothing in the world that could care about her.
.
Her biological parents didn't want her, and the aunt who raised her just wanted revenge; the boy she liked liked someone else; her friends also betrayed her. She will always be an abandoned child, forever...
Sitting on a small stool in the park, she didn't know how long she sat there. She only knew that the moon gradually started from the branches to the middle, and then slowly moved to another branch. Her eyes were empty and her eyes were lifeless.
I don't know how long it took, maybe as long as a century, maybe just a moment, the sound of footsteps rang in her ears, but she didn't want to look up, her mind went blank, there was nothing.
Then a pair of shoes appeared in front of her, but she still didn't move.
After waiting for a long time, Leng Chen finally couldn't wait any longer. He raised her head and asked her to look into his eyes. She raised her head and looked at him without any resistance, but her eyes were empty.
A trace of something, looking helpless.
Leng Chen couldn't help but yelled at her: "Why don't you make a noise, why don't you make a fuss, and why don't you ask me why?"
She still didn't respond.
He shook her shoulders hard and pinched her shoulders deeply with his fingers. Maybe there were bright red fingerprints on them. He lost control and roared at her: "You talk! You scold me! You hit me.
!”
But she still looked at him with that blank and helpless look.
She only felt that her heart was so painful that she could no longer feel it and was numb from the pain. His yelling and his rudeness were all blocked by her from her consciousness. She could not feel the breath outside and was just immersed in herself.
in my thoughts.
"Ding Ziyi, you will always be someone no one wants." Leng Chen shouted angrily into her ear.
Suddenly, her eyes moved and her whole body was shaken. Then as if she had regained consciousness, she pushed away his hand that grabbed her shoulder and looked at him coldly.
She slowly stood up and said coldly: "Even if no one wants it, you don't need to take care of it."
Leng Chen suddenly realized that he had done something sorry for her again. He held her hand and felt the coldness of her fingers. He finally lowered his head and said: "I'm sorry, Ziyi, I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it. I
The only person I like is always you."
Zi Yi pushed him away indifferently and looked at him for a long time. Then her fingers began to slowly take off the bracelet that Leng Chen had brought to her wrist that day. The bracelet gently slipped from her wrist and made a crisp sound.
, that cold feeling was like the twelfth lunar month in winter. Her fingers gently caressed the chain, and the words he said floated through her heart: My princess, we will never be separated. At that time, he
There was such an affectionate look in her eyes. If she could, she really wanted to stay in that moment for the rest of her life.
Leng Chen watched her fingers grasping the bracelet that he had spent three days making for her in the jewelry store. Her fingers slowly loosened, and the bracelet fell to the ground, making a clearer and sweeter sound. Zi
Yi closed her eyes and listened to the sound of "ding dong" falling to the ground, feeling a pain in her heart. But she still suppressed the pain in her heart. She raised her head and looked into Leng Chen's eyes.
She said: "I will return your things to you. Please return mine to me."
He looked at her and said nothing.
"You stole my heart, and now I want to get it back. From now on, you and I will no longer have anything to do with each other."
Looking at the expression on her face, an unprecedented panic made him scream: "No, Ziyi, I will never forget you, and I will never let you leave me. Just now, just now I just
I can’t help myself.”
Ziyi's pale face looked so pale in the moonlight. She ignored Leng Chen's words. She just looked at him and said, "I never want to see you again."
Then, she left without looking back.
Closing her eyes, her face began to shed tears line by line, as if she was going to die of heartache in the next moment, but she couldn't let him know, so she walked straighter and straighter, and her back became straighter.
Leng Chen stared at her leaving back with such absolute determination and no intention of looking back. Why were her eyes so cold and so scary? It made him feel that he was about to lose her forever. This time, she would never come back.
Back.
His heart suddenly hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. He lowered his waist, picked up the bracelet on the ground, grabbed the tree trunk next to him with his right hand, and used his five fingers to scratch out deep marks. A tear fell from his eyes.
It dripped to the ground, rolled into the soil, and disappeared immediately...
