The more Rong Heng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth of the matter. As a result, he became even more unable to let go of this matter.
"Just ask for me and see what she says." Rong Heng thought about it again and again, and finally said, "She can't say the same thing to you and to me."
Mu Qian was almost amused by his crazy look, "If it's really her, what are you going to do? Be responsible for her? Be her boyfriend? Marry her?"
Rong Heng couldn't help being stunned after hearing this.
All this time, he only wanted to determine whether Lu Yuan was the girl from seven years ago. As for what Mu Qian said, he had not thought about it.
"I can at least... have a chance to explain to her what happened and apologize to her," Rong Heng said.
Mu Qian sighed slightly and said, "Believe me, if something like this happens, no woman will care about your sorry words."
"I know..." Rong Heng paused before speaking slowly, "But to me, this is very important."
After hearing this, Mu Qian slowly raised her eyes, looked at him for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, I will ask her for you." Mu Qian said, "But I dare not promise you what the outcome will be."
After hearing this, Rong Heng was silent for a while and did not answer any more.
…
In the evening, Lu Yuan came to the courtyard again at Mu Qian's invitation.
Mu Qian packed a few side dishes from the small restaurant in the alley and went home to make a simple meal. It was considered a decent dinner.
When Lu Yuan walked in, his eyes were still a little erratic, as if he was looking for something.
"Don't worry." Mu Qian said, "Rong Heng was driven away by me a long time ago and is no longer here."
After hearing this, Lu Yuan took a deep look at her, sat down next to her and hugged Huo Qiran while she talked.
However, Mu Qian came over and quickly sent Huo Qiran out to play with his friends.
"He doesn't want to eat?" Lu Yuan asked.
"His little friends bring so many snacks every day, so he is not hungry." Mu Qian said, "You don't need to worry about him, just take care of yourself."
After Lu Yuan heard this, he glanced at her again, picked up his chopsticks and ate silently.
"Do you know? I listened to a fairy tale like Cinderella this afternoon. Do you want to hear it?"
"I don't want to." Lu Yuan replied without raising his head.
"You don't want to hear it, but I insist on saying it." Mu Qian glanced at her and spoke on her own.
Lu Yuan still lowered his head to eat his food, while Mu Qian told the story in full from Rong Heng in the afternoon.
Until he finished listening, the expression on Lu Yuan's face did not change much.
"It was really hard for him to carry self-blame and guilt for seven years." Mu Qian said, "It's understandable to want to know which girl he hurt in the first place, right?"
Lu Yuan listened and nodded calmly, "Yes."
"So, is it you?" Mu Qian asked carefully.
"No." Lu Yuan replied without thinking.
Seeing her attitude, Mu Qian smiled slightly and finally said nothing more.
After finishing a tasteless meal, Lu Yuan had to go back to work.
Mu Qian didn't stop her, just sent her out with a smile.
When he reached the door, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped uncontrollably and looked back at Mu Qian, "Why do I always feel that you are having some bad idea?"
"The conscience of heaven and earth." Mu Qian immediately raised her finger, "We are close, and I can't hit you if I hit someone with bad ideas! Just like...you can't lie to everyone.
You will lie to me, right?"
Hearing Mu Qian's words, Lu Yuan paused for a moment, said nothing more, turned around and walked out the door.
Unexpectedly, she had just taken a few steps and before she reached the entrance of the alley, she saw a tall figure standing on the side of the road.
Lu Yuan paused and turned around, wanting to go back to settle the score with Mu Qian. Who knew that when he turned around, he saw Mu Qian sticking his head out to look around. After meeting her gaze, Mu Qian quickly retracted his head, "
The door of the courtyard closed with a bang.
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth silently and turned towards the entrance of the alley.
Rong Heng stood on the street for a long time, looking back countless times, and finally saw Lu Yuan's figure once.
Lu Yuan still had no unnecessary expression on his face. He met his gaze and walked forward calmly.
"Officer Rong." Before Rong Heng could speak, she spoke first, "I just heard your story from Qian Qian... I understand your feelings very well, but I still have to reiterate that I am not what you want to find.
That person."
The street lights on the street were hidden in the shade of tall trees, and the light was dim. Only the car lights coming and going on the road could occasionally illuminate Rong Heng's face.
Compared with the anxiety and irritability before, at this moment, Rong Heng's face looked very calm.
He stared at Lu Yuan quietly, and after a long time, he spoke in a low voice: "Maybe it's not really you, but there are things in my heart that I really want to say. Can you listen to me?"
Lu Yuan was silent for a moment and then said, "Do I have a choice?"
Rong Heng still looked at her and spoke slowly: "That night seven years ago, I ruined a girl's innocence. I have always felt guilty and wanted to find her, compensate her, and say sorry to her. But I
But I forgot that after these seven years, she may have already had her own life. My insistence on bringing up that incident may be more harmful to her. The bastard things I did by myself, I
Just remember, I am indeed not qualified and should not force her to accept my apology. Therefore, I will not dwell on this matter anymore. I apologize to you for the trouble I caused you before, I'm sorry."
Lu Yuan listened, and after a moment of silence, he just smiled slightly and said, "As long as you figure it out. I accept your apology, it doesn't matter anymore."
Rong Heng nodded slowly, and then said: "I'll give it to you."
"No need." Lu Yuan said, "We have nothing to do with each other in the first place. There is no need to be upset because of this misunderstanding. You don't owe me anything. I can just go back by myself."
After hearing this, Rong Heng didn't know what to say.
…
Behind the courtyard door, Mu Qian stood quietly against the door, uncontrollably lost in thought.
She knew that Rong Heng had been waiting for Lu Yuan outside, and she also knew that after the two communicated tonight, the matter might come to an end.
Although Lu Yuan's indifference when facing this matter was really abnormal, if this was her choice, there was nothing Mu Qian could do to interfere.
She could only hope that Lu Yuan really didn't care, or that he really hadn't experienced that night seven years ago.
Mu Qian was thinking a little absentmindedly when there was a sudden knock on the door behind her.
The conversation was over so quickly?
While thinking about it, Mu Qian turned around and opened the door, and opened her mouth to explain to Lu Yuan: "I told you, we are the only ones in love, and I really will not betray-"
Outside the door, Huo Jinxi's slender figure stood quietly. Hearing her words, he slowly said, "I'm very happy that you have such an awareness."
