Seeing a mineral water bottle above Zhang Ling's head, it was immediately smashed down.
An important choice lay before the two men.
Continue to complete the gentleman's agreement, and see that Zhang Ling may be hit by a mineral water bottle, and there is a small chance of being injured;
Abandon the gentleman's agreement and let the opponent win completely, but rush over at all costs to protect Zhang Ling from harm.
The clever Qi Diaozhe calculated and analyzed Zhang Ling's walking speed and the falling speed of the mineral water bottle, and felt that there was at least a 70% to 80% chance of hitting it.
So he decisively chose to continue completing the gentleman's agreement.
When he thought that with Li Xiang's intelligence, it was impossible not to analyze and come up with clear results.
However, Qi Diaozhe was surprised to see that Li Xiang had already stood up and rushed towards Zhang Ling like a 100-meter sprint champion.
Before the half bottle of mineral water was about to fall to the ground, he successfully protected Zhang Ling in his arms.
that moment!
Zhang Ling first gave an instinctive verbal warning, and at the same time tried to break free from the restraints, when she clearly felt that she was wrapped in Li Xiang's aura.
She instantly recalled her previous anger towards him.
Stubbornly, he used all his strength to finally break free from Li Xiang's arms.
at the same time.
The mineral water bottle also fell to the ground and exploded, and the bottle cap happened to fly and hit his lower back.
He didn't make any strange noise, looked at her with a smile and asked:
"Are you OK."
Zhang Ling looked at the broken mineral water bottle with a look of shock. The hand that was raised to slap him was still hanging in the air.
After hearing Li Xiang's gentle inquiry, she reacted, smiled slightly awkwardly, put down her hands and shook her head and said:
"No, it's okay! You, you're not hurt either."
Li Xiang shook his head with a hint of hesitation in his smile.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang, who was risking his own life to protect her.
Knowing that her position in Li Xiang's heart is absolutely irreplaceable.
The blood in her heart was like a hot spring gushing out, quietly warming every cell of her skin.
So I firmly believe that Li Xiang had some reasons for his previous attitude towards her.
Taking advantage of this best opportunity, she rarely showed a woman's unique sense of fragility, and said to Li expectantly:
"Li Xiang, can you tell me the answer now?"
Qi Diaozhe saw the mineral water bottle landing less than two meters in front of Zhang Ling.
He happily walked towards Li Xiang, and before Li Xiang could answer Zhang Ling, he took the lead and shouted:
"I won, I won, I won in the end! Li Xiang, do you admit this result?"
Li Xiang didn't defend himself. There was a bit of greed in his eyes, and he wanted to look at her a few more times before leaving.
Because according to the agreement, he will never take the initiative to appear in front of Zhang Ling from now on.
Even if you encounter someone on the road, you must turn around and leave quickly, and you are not allowed to say hello to Zhang Ling.
So this means that if you take one more look at the real Zhang Ling, you will lose one less look.
Zhang Ling was first deceived by Qi Diaozhe's words.
She chased Li to ask what was going on?
But Li Xiang just smiled and kept looking at her with greedy and reluctant eyes.
Don't say a word.
Zhang Ling looked at Li Xiang's eyes and knew something must have happened.
But Li Xiang is just a dull gourd now.
What drives her crazy the most!
She had no choice but to ask Qi Diaozhe later.
Maybe Qi Diaozhe was too impatient.
I want to hold my beloved in my arms and relive the feeling that I can only recall in my dreams for more than ten years.
I am also somewhat worried that Li Xiang will regret it temporarily.
So with a sense of arrogance as a winner, he looked around at the neighbors and reminded them:
"Li Xiang, we made a gentleman's agreement in front of many of Zhang Ling's neighbors. Do you want to break the agreement if you haven't said anything?"
Zhang Ling was keenly aware of the "gentleman's agreement".
But she doesn't know what's going on?
He opened his mouth many times to question the two men in front of him.
But in the end, no complete sentence was asked.
And these two men seemed to deliberately ignore her existence.
No one asked her what she wanted to say.
Li Xiang heard Qi Diaozhe's urging and said with endless resentment and regret:
"Yes, that's right, you won. As agreed..."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Ling beside him, with endless reluctance in his eyes, and finally gritted his teeth and said to her:
"I'm leaving. Zhang Ling, I'm going to work. I wish you happiness!"
What does Li Xiang mean by these words?
Normally I should say "goodbye", but he said "I wish you happiness" instead.
Listening to the tone of his voice, it felt like his final farewell to her.
She even thought that Li Xiang had so easily believed her previous threats against him.
Is this angry man a pig?
He's so stupid that he can't even hear the joke.
She was just about to step forward and grab Li, trying to explain him like a scold.
A hand grabbed her arm, and with just a slight tug, she was pulled into Qi Diaozhe's arms.
She tried to break free, but to no avail.
Then the warmth radiated from that strong chest instantly immersed her in it and stopped struggling.
It was as if she had returned to the state of her first love more than ten years ago.
Youthful, warm and happy.
She looked at Li Xiang's retreating figure with some confusion...
At this moment, her and Li Xiang's souls were connected.
I could clearly feel Li Xiang's heart, as if he had been forcibly thrown into a cold room and the quick-freezing mode was turned on.
The biting cold instantly hardened the surface of his heart.
But the blood in the heart doesn't want to be frozen, trying to speed up the flow of blood and release more temperature to resist the cold.
Everything is in vain.
The surface hardening of the heart has prevented the heart from beating normally, and even the beating frequency has gradually come to a standstill.
It stopped, and the stubborn blood finally released the last bit of heat.
Waiting to accept the frozen reality.
At this moment, Qi Diaozhe whispered in her ear that from now on, she would belong exclusively to him.
Many neighbors finally started talking.
Perhaps they have all received enthusiastic help from Li Xiang in recent days.
Everyone is looking forward to Li Xiang winning.
It's a pity that I saw the disappointing ending.
So sighs came one after another.
The gathering of so much information instantly impacted her brain.
What on earth did these two men do behind her back?
It felt like she was a slave who was traded in ancient times.
Whether you want it or not, you are being ruthlessly traded as a commodity.
These men take themselves too seriously.
What qualifications do they have to decide who she should choose as her spouse without her consent?
She, Zhang Ling, is not a plaything in the eyes of men, but a person with independent human rights.
The more Zhang Ling thought about it, the more annoyed she became. The anger in her heart instantly broke through, and the feeling of happiness brought by Qi Diaozhe's warm heart came.
She mobilized all the strength of her body to her upper limbs, and suddenly broke through the restraints of Qi Diaozhe's embrace.
Taking advantage of the situation, he slapped him hard, causing Qi Diaozhe to be a little dazed and asked:
"Zhang Ling, we can finally be together again. Are you unhappy?"
"Happy! Yes, of course I'm happy. I'm happy that today I realized that you are a self-righteous bastard."
"What's wrong with me?"
"You asked me what's wrong!" Zhang Ling sneered, shook her head and continued, "Qi Diaozhe, Qi Diaozhe, you are a top student who returned from studying abroad. Don't you know that I am a person with independent human rights?"
Qi Diaozhe's brain was buzzing.
Yes, we have been clamoring for equality between men and women for who knows how many years?
But in fact, there are always some conceited men who habitually treat women as commodities and trade them with each other with clearly marked prices.
Of course, there are also many women who are willing to habitually make a commodity that is traded by men.
He only wanted to use means to get Zhang Ling back as soon as possible.
For a moment, he treated her like many secular women he had seen.
She actually forgot that she was a woman who had a sense of independence and equality since she was a child.
"No, Zhang Ling, please don't misunderstand me. Please listen to my explanation..."
Qi Diaozhe was a little panicked and wanted to grab Zhang Ling's wrist again to explain, but she was ruthlessly opened by her keen mind.
"Misunderstanding! Explanation!"
Zhang Ling looked around at the neighbors watching the excitement and continued to question:
"You mean what they saw and heard is not the truth? Only the words that come out of your mouth are the truth."
What Zhang Ling didn't expect was that Qi Diaozhe nodded and acknowledged this point of view.
Because he did think about putting the blame for the Gentleman's Agreement on Li Xiang.
"Okay, I haven't seen you for so many years. Can you, Qi Diaozhe, be any more shameless after your degradation?"
After listening to Zhang Ling's question, Qi Diaozhe still refused to admit it and tried to explain:
"No, it's not..."
Zhang Ling didn't give him a chance to explain, and turned around and left without looking back.
Qi Diaozhe may feel that there will be no more disturbance from Li Xiang in the future.
When he has enough, he can slowly continue to pursue Zhang Ling.
There is absolutely no need to pester the other party too much.
So he didn't catch up closely.
Zhang Ling also had no intention of catching up with Li Xiang and scolding him again.
not worth it!
Chasing and scolding a stinky man who doesn't respect her loses her image.
Even if I want to scold, it's not now.
You can live without a boyfriend, but life needs to go on.
The source of all good life is inseparable from the support of money.
So currently, going to work, working, and making money are more important to her.
She didn't want to be late for work today.
As for Li Xiang, let him first pay a price for his stupid actions.
Future day.
The news that Zhang Ling and Li Xiang broke up has spread.
My father also went on strike and skipped breakfast for some days.
The purpose is to let Zhang Ling take the initiative to find Li Xiang to clarify the misunderstanding.
Because my father firmly believed that there must be a misunderstanding between the two people.
The best way to resolve misunderstandings is not to ignore each other in a cold war.
It's an open and honest exchange.
It is normal for couples (couples) to quarrel, but they should not break up just because of a few words.
If there is a conflict or misunderstanding, you can simply quarrel about the conflict and misunderstanding. You must not escalate the quarrel to a personal level based on the conflict and misunderstanding.
In short, it's the right thing to do but not the right person.
But Zhang Ling insisted that her dignity had been trampled on by Li Xiang.
Even if Li Xiang was willing to come over and clarify the misunderstanding, he would have to pay three visits to the thatched cottage before she would consider sitting down and talking calmly.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Zhang Ling to take the initiative to find Li Xiang.
So my father used his strongest weapon:
I didn’t cook three meals a day.
This did not make Zhang Ling give in and take the initiative to find Li Xiang.
The father had no choice but to put down his dignity and look around the thatched cottage to find Li Xiang and find out what happened.
But Li Xiang is obviously stubborn.
Insist on abiding by the gentleman's agreement with Qi Diaozhe.
Not only did he not take the initiative to see Zhang Ling, he also took the initiative to cut off contact with his father, Yan Yuan and others.
This actually created an excellent opportunity for Qi Diaozhe.
He invited Zhang Ling three times in a row but was rejected ruthlessly.
But it still did not dampen his determination to continue pursuing Zhang Ling.
The father saw Qi Diaozhe taking over and began to pursue his daughter.
He had roughly guessed that his promising son-in-law must have been plotted by the bad boy Qi Diaozhe.
The father had already determined that this child was bad when he first met him more than ten years ago.
The main thing is that my father found out something that Qi Diaozhe had done in school.
When this bad boy was in his first year of high school, he stood in the teaching building, learning a scene from "Titanic" and spat at the people downstairs.
Some students who suffered disaster went upstairs to argue with this bad boy. He would either directly use force to intimidate, or directly use money to apologize.
But he persisted in spitting at the classmates passing by downstairs.
Even if there are school leaders doing ideological work for this bad boy.
Qi Diaozhe also swore that he was paying tribute to the classics by doing so.
The father knew that his daughter looked very smart on the surface.
In fact, her nature is kind and upright.
There is absolutely no happiness for her to be with the selfish Qi Diaozhe.
Just like Qi Diaozhe, he came to demonstrate and declare war on his father after a while.
The father became even more certain that he was right to find his parents.
Qi Diaozhe finally broke into the high-level circle of Zhang Ling's group by virtue of his status as a jade carving master.
With this, I successfully got an opportunity to have dinner with Zhang Ling.
Zhang Ling, who was unaware, simply thought that tonight was just an ordinary company party.
When dressed up, walk into the party hotel floor.
Only a long table was illuminated in the dim light.
When she saw only one person sitting dignifiedly at one end of the long table, she wondered if she had arrived early.
For this reason, I specifically confirmed the time with the waiter who led the way.
The time is right, just right.
But why did two people come after adding her?
When a piano song "Mark of the Rain" echoed in the hall, she was even more convinced that this was not like an ordinary company party.
She asked the waiter again suspiciously:
"Are you sure this is really a gathering place organized by the XX Group?"
The waiter seemed like a newbie with no experience in lying.
The smile when he said "ok" was obviously more embarrassing and bitter.
Therefore, she had already guessed the person sitting at the end of the long table in front of her.
Presumably the waiters also do it for work.
Zhang Ling, who is kind-hearted, does not want to embarrass the waiter.
Choose to face it head on.
After all, it's time to make some things clear.
The man sitting at the end of the long table, after seeing her arrival, stood up and greeted her with a smile.
"Zhang Ling, you are finally here. Come on, come on, please come and sit here. Today I specially ordered your favorite food..."
He stood in front of her wearing a brown plain lapel-collared two-button casual suit, and invited her to the other end of the long table in an elegant and gentlemanly manner.
He even took over the waiter's job and helped pull out the chairs to sit down in a considerate manner.
What's wrong with her?
I originally thought that when I saw Qi Diaozhe, I would rebuke him unceremoniously and then leave calmly.
But his smile seemed particularly magical.
The moment she saw it, she was mesmerized and immersed in a sea of love.
She was like a marionette in his hands.
He followed his instructions without any resistance and took every step.
