When I got up from the bed, my ears were filled with the sound of rain. Cheng Baize stood in front of the window, turned back and glanced at me lightly, closed the window and said, "You wake up, this rain is coming."
It should stop."
"Where's Zhuo Jing!" I anxiously went to the ground to put on my shoes, "Where's Zhuo Jing? Where is Zhuo Jing? I have to go find him. I haven't told him yet..."
"He has already left Hong Kong..."
"What did you say?" My heart sank, he left?
Cheng Baize pulled out a chair and sat in front of me. He looked at me and opened his mouth slightly helplessly: "Don't worry, I will tell you slowly, you have been falling asleep these days..."
"I'm asking you Zhuo Jing, how is he doing?"
"He's fine. He didn't faint."
As he said that, Cheng Baize looked at me with calm eyes: "When I brought you here, Zhuo Jing's mother sent someone to deliver all your documents and things. His mother's ability
It's really not ordinary. Zhuo Jing must have guessed what his mother said to you. It seems that he and his mother were having a big fight. I didn't answer Zhuo Jing's call to you, but I received one.
Seal the text message his mother sent you. You can read it yourself. It said that she was very grateful for your decision. I think she must have said something to Zhuo Jing, or Zhuo Jing thought you had gone back because Zong Bao also sent it to you.
I also called you and asked you what happened. He said that Zhuo Jing had already killed you at your shop in Anton. During the days when you were unconscious, Zhuo Jing must have turned your hometown upside down. But, fortunately, I
I got the news that he returned to the city yesterday and resumed his normal work."
Listening to Cheng Baize's words, I could even picture Zhuo Jing going crazy in my mind, muttering silently: "He hates me to death, he must hate me to death... Where is the phone? Give it to me. I want to follow you."
He made it clear."
"Do you think you can explain it clearly?"
Cheng Baize still looked at me unhurriedly and opened his mouth: "Whether he hates you or not is a trivial matter. If he does, I think he will also hate his own mother. But if his mother can send someone to find her here, then
It is enough to show that every move you make is in the eyes of his mother. She may not be able to control her son, but she still has the ability to control you from getting close to her son. I still remember the black mouth you vomited before you fainted.
Is it something weird? I think it has something to do with the bracelet you are wearing..."
"That bracelet was given to me by my aunt." I replied blankly, my mind was in a mess. Does his mother also know this?
Cheng Baize sighed softly: "It's a pity that the bracelet is broken. It must be some kind of curse door. It was broken after it was fulfilled. But I checked and found that your body was not affected. It probably just doesn't want you to get close to her son."
That's all, you have two choices now. One, go back immediately, go find Zhuo Jing immediately, and continue to swim in this muddy water. Two, live your own life well. I won't give you any reference. You can think about it yourself slowly. We are sitting here.
The flight goes back tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Cheng Baize stood up and left directly. When he walked to the door, he looked back at me and said, "Jiaolong, do you still remember what I told you? Zhuo Jing will not be able to get married in three years, and it is impossible for him to do so in three years."
If you can't get married, if you are still like before, then just go ahead. I'm tired too. I don't want to say too much. I've thought a lot these days. After all, we haven't seen each other for two years. I don't want us to be together once I come back.
Your relationship is at a stalemate, and I don’t want to be your enemy.”
I didn't respond. Thinking about Cheng Baize's words, I suddenly felt a little exhausted. Watching him walk out of the room, I took the phone but didn't press the button. Yes, this is indeed muddy water. Calm down.
Only then did I feel that this relationship was not an ordinary mess. Should I go find Zhuo Jing? His mother would definitely cause some trouble. Then this nepotism would also involve my sister-in-law and uncle. Zhuo Jing and I would naturally
We can't avoid torturing each other. I don't dare to think about the consequences if I continue like this. My head hurts beyond ordinary.
Gritting my teeth, I still dialed Zhuo Jing’s number. Although I haven’t figured out how to explain it yet, I don’t want to have any more misunderstandings with Zhuo Jing. I admit that my mentality is a bit fluctuating now, but if he can accept me
, completely accept that I am intersex, even if he says he will think about it for a few days, or give it a quick break, at least let me have an answer. If you persist, please give me some courage. If you let go, I will know how to make a choice.
.
After all, love is a matter between two people. No matter how difficult Zhuo Jing's mother is or how many external influences there are, as long as he can do it, I think I have the determination to overcome all difficulties.
The phone's ringtone rang in the receiver for a long time, until it finally beeped twice and hung up. I frowned, and was about to call back when I suddenly received a text message, 'Now that you've left, don't look back, everyone be well.
.'
Sender, Zhuo Jing.
What does it mean?
I was about to reply to the text message when a bitter smile appeared at the corner of my mouth. I understood that this text message was most likely not sent to me by Zhuo Jing. This is not his style. It seems that I have simplified things again.
I thought everything was too simple. His mother was trying to compete with me.
‘Ling ring ring~~ ring ring ring~~~~’
The screen of the mobile phone lit up instantly and rang rapidly in the palm of my hand. My heart tightened. Did you want to continue to warn me softly when you came back? I glanced at the caller number and saw that it was unfamiliar. I took a deep breath.
He picked it up in one breath and put it to his ear, "Hey, is it Auntie? I..."
"Ms. Lin, it's me."
This voice sounded familiar. It was not Zhuo Jing’s mother, but my mind was so confused that I didn’t recognize the owner of the voice at the first time: “Well, who are you?”
"Ms. Lin, I am Mr. Nan's assistant. Don't you remember me?"
Mr. Nan’s assistant?
I instinctively sat up straight: "Oh, hello, I'm really sorry. I've been delayed by some other things these days. I should give Mr. Nan a call. Thank you to him and Mr. Li for recommending me to visit Yangzhai."
"You don't have to be so polite. Mr. Nan just came out of quarantine yesterday. He has already called Mr. Li and knows that you handled this matter very beautifully. He also knows that you have achieved something now and is really happy for you.
"
I twitched my lips and said, "Thank you, Mr. Nan. I still remember Jiaolong. It's because Jiaolong is ignorant. He should have contacted Mr. Nan as soon as possible. If there is a chance, Jiaolong will definitely come to visit."
"I told you that you don't need to be so polite. Mr. Nan asked me to make this phone call because he has something else to tell you. He said that there are very few fates in his life that he cannot understand, and you are one of them.
One, so he has been trying to help you analyze one or two during the retreat. It turned out that Miss Lin's marriage line has changed, and there may be something unexpected, so he asked me to call Miss Lin to inquire. I don't know that Miss Lin has been in the relationship recently.
Have you made any important decisions regarding marriage?"
"Uh..." I was stunned, but I opened my mouth and responded: "Yes, I want to be with Zhuo Jing. Didn't we say that we have a good relationship for three lives? I think this should be the third life. I want to be with him."
…”
"Absolutely not. Although it is a good match for three generations, there are many hardships and hurting others and yourself. Mr. Nan asked Miss Lin to think more carefully. He hopes that you can cherish your unique yin and yang body. If you insist on going your own way, you will definitely..."
"What will happen?" Her sudden pause made my heart tighten: "Sister, what will happen to Mr. Nan?"
"One dead and one injured."
"What?" I opened my mouth: "Who will die?"
"Of course it's not Miss Lin..."
I was suddenly speechless. It was Zhuo Jing. He would die? How could it be so serious? "It's impossible. If we are suitable, why can't we get married?"
"Since there is evil in the marriage, Mr. Nan said that Miss Lin will definitely know the danger."
"Then, if something happens to him, I can save him."
"If the yin and yang body is broken, how are you going to save it? Let's not talk about that first. Mr. Nan said that although Miss Lin has made some achievements now, the height is far from the level he expected. With your current situation,
Dao Xing is still far from enough."
I opened my mouth numbly: "In other words, even if I haven't broken the yin and yang body, if you insist on seeking this marriage, then even if something happens to the people around you, I can't keep it, right?
"
"The time has not come yet. The reason why Mr. Nan said to let you let nature take its course is because he hopes that you can one day reach the peak of Yin Yang magic. By then, let alone a small marriage, Miss Lin will naturally understand everything.
"Hey, Miss Lin is still too young. Every time you live, you will lose something. Since you are gifted, you should cherish what you get. Mr. Nan has long said that if Miss Lin can concentrate on cultivating, then Yin Yang Technique will be better."
In a few days, she will definitely be above him. Over the years, I have never seen Mr. Nan cherish his fate so much. He said that Miss Lin will have many disasters in her life, including life and death. Although she cannot see through it, he said that every
After one calamity, Miss Lin's magic skills will be improved to a higher level. There are dragons in China, and Mr. Nan believes that Miss Lin will survive the calamity and become a dragon. Only by reaching the highest level can she protect the people around her."
"There is another thing I want to say to Miss Lin. Although Miss Lin is extremely talented, she must not act impulsively. Over the years, I have seen too many pretentious Onmyojis, but the results are all miserable.
The reason is that most people who can be onmyojis have to survive disasters, but they may suffer big losses because of their arrogance, or they may make big mistakes because of their impulsive behavior, and regret it too late. Ms. Lin must act cautiously and be humble.
When it comes to treating people, Mr. Nan and I both hope to see a truly powerful Onmyoji one day."
I let out a breath gently, I understand, to put it bluntly, I am not at that point now, just like some students who are very talented and can be at the top without studying hard, but no matter how talented they are, they don't study hard in the later stage.
If you want to pass the key points in the exam, it is still nonsense. If you pretend to be stupid, you will easily be slaughtered by a real academic master. In fact, I know very well that I am not at that time when I am particularly powerful. When I persuade Master Huang to help, I am not talking about intersex.
Is it something?
A real master is when you show up, the energy in your body is enough to force others to retreat. I can feel the energy of some masters now, such as Mr. Nan, Old Ugly Uncle and the others, but the ones that make me retreat are still...
I haven't seen it, but what I am worried about now is not those extreme masters, but what Mr. Nan's assistant said about one death and one injury. I naturally believe in Mr. Nan's words, and if I really break the yin and yang body
, that’s equivalent to waste. Although I don’t think Zhuo Jing will have any accidents, what will I do if that happens?
"Ms. Lin, are you still listening?"
"Oh." I came back to my senses: "I'm listening, I was just thinking about what Mr. Nan said."
While I was talking, I heard Mr. Nan’s voice coming from the other end of the phone. The speakerphone must have been turned on, so after a string of Thai words, I heard Mr. Nan’s female assistant respond and continue speaking into the phone: "
It's like this, Mr. Nan said, one last word for you. There is a lot of evil around you, and the yin is heavy. If Miss Lin can overcome the danger, she can defend the cloud. But if she acts impulsively, the yin and yang will be broken at this time.
If you lose your body, you will really be unable to recover."
"Jiaolong understands."
I bit my lip: "I will remember Mr. Nan's teachings."
"Although Mr. Nan and Miss Lin are not of the same nationality, he has very high expectations for Miss Lin in terms of Yin Yang magic. I hope that Miss Lin will be like a flying blue dragon in the future and live up to expectations."
"Jiaolong will keep this in mind and will work harder."
My heart is terribly complicated. Mr. Nan’s assistant’s words have made it very clear. Now I can’t act willfully, otherwise it will harm Zhuo Jing and myself. I think of the pain in my heart that night, which is probably more or less related to this.
It does matter.
"Please tell Mr. Nan that although Jiaolong has only met Mr. Nan twice, Mr. Nan has always treated Jiaolong well. He is an elder whom Jiaolong respects very much. Jiaolong will definitely come to visit him one day."
"There's no need for this. Mr. Nan said two years ago that if you have a disaster that you can't solve in the future, he will help you. If there is no accident, there is no need to meet politely. Take care."
"Jiaolong, thank you Mr. Nan, goodbye."
I put down my phone in a daze, and looked out the window at the pattering rain with a somewhat absent-minded gaze——
A sense of mission and a lover, are there really no ways to have both...
Zhuo Jing, you have to wait for me, wait for me to become stronger, I will not allow anything to happen to you, absolutely not.
I walked slowly to the window, lowered my eyes and looked at my hands. Everything I have today, all my abilities, are brought to me by my body, but I am almost going to destroy it. If I
I am no longer born with yin and yang, so if I can’t even protect myself, how can I protect others?
"Grandma, are you going to be angry with me? I really want to be an outstanding gentleman like you, and I want to help more people, but I can't look back even if I'm so close. I'm too selfish. I really
Too willful..."
Tears fell one by one into the palm of my hand. I looked at the Bagua diagram that slowly emerged. Faintly, I seemed to see my grandma’s face through the Bagua diagram. The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, and my voice sounded a little bit sad.
Trembling: "Grandma, don't worry, I won't let you down. I will definitely become a great gentleman."
People are all two-faced. I hate myself after calming down, because I know that it will be difficult for me to have the courage to do such impulsive things in my life. My emotional intelligence is too low, and I am self-righteous again and again. I am used to putting complex things into perspective.
I handled the matter simply, and at the same time, I thought about it too naively. This time, it was my fault. I hurt Zhuo Jing, and also hurt everyone who had expectations for me.
I took the phone, pressed out a series of numbers and put it directly to my ear. After the call was connected, before I could speak, a hurried voice came from the other side: "Qiaoqiao, is this Qiaoqiao? Where have you been? Are you with me?"
I know everything about Qilin, why don’t you answer my calls these past few days?”
"Uncle, can you see Zhuo Jing?"
"He is at home now. Where have you been? He came to my place to find you a few days ago. He was so angry that he wanted to find you out. Hey, I grew up watching him. This is the first time I saw him go crazy.
It’s like that.”
I gritted my back molars tightly: "I'm still in Hong Kong. Uncle, I'm sorry for him. I did something very impulsive. I wanted to reconcile with him, but I thought about it.
It must be simple, now I realize that it is difficult to be together, it is really difficult."
"Are you still in Hong Kong? Qiaoqiao, is it...did Qilin's mother say something to you?"
"Uncle, how do you know?"
"Qilin told me. I can probably guess what his mother will say to you. I know her very well. She does have high expectations for Qilin, but Qiaoqiao, you can't hide.
,Qilin thought you were back."
"I didn't hide. I just had something happen at that time. I couldn't explain it to him right away. Can you see him? I'm going back as soon as possible. I want to meet Qilin after I go back. There are some things I want to make clear to him.
.”
"I'm afraid not now, he's sick."
My heart twitched: "Sick?! Is it serious!!"
"It should be okay. His parents are with Qilin now. I'm going to take a look today. Qiaoqiao, I know you have a deep relationship with Qilin. So, don't come forward yet. Qilin
, I will help you persuade his parents first. You know, it really worried me that you couldn't find anyone before. If anything happens, your sister-in-law and I will help you solve it. I'm really scared.
You are young and can't imagine what could happen to you again. Knowing that you are fine, I feel relieved."
I lowered my eyes. It seemed that I wouldn't see him for a while. I think my uncle knew that Zhuo Jing wouldn't let me come to the house, so he didn't bother to talk about it at all.
"Qiaoqiao, listen to me, let's do the operation first. After the operation, I think everything will be simple. Now I know Qilin's feelings. He really likes you. Your sister-in-law and I also hope that you can
With Qilin."
I sighed softly: "Little uncle, there are some things that I can't tell you. If you see Zhuo Jing, please help me say sorry to him first. Tell him that I didn't hide on purpose."
I couldn't see him, because I fainted, so as soon as I opened my eyes, it was now. I will find an opportunity to explain it clearly to him face to face. I will not hide everything from him. I don't want to have anything with him again.
What a misunderstanding."
"That's good. I'll tell him. You wait for my call. If Qilin's body recovers, I think he will go find you on his own."
"Well, thank you, uncle."
I hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. Only by overcoming the dangers can I be able to defend the clouds. How many dangers are there?
‘Dong dong dong’~ Cheng Baize knocked on the door a few times, then opened the door and looked at me: “Have you made your decision?”
I nodded: "I want to go home to see my grandpa. I promised to take him to visit my grandma's grave."
Cheng Baize's brows tightened slightly: "Aren't you going to find Zhuo Jing?"
I shook my head, now I understand, and Mr. Nan also made it very clear that before I really reached that height, it was all fantasy to marry him, but there was one thing I just figured out.
Yes, if I really become Mr. Big, then I don’t believe it. I can’t break this little marriage dispute myself?
"Have you thought about it?"
I opened my mouth: "It's not that I've thought about it, but I've figured it out. I was too impulsive before."
It seems that I have always been wrong when it comes to my relationship with Zhuo Jing. My wishful thinking three years ago was wrong. Three years later, I still made the mistake of wishful thinking. I suddenly looked back fearlessly, but in the end, I accidentally
It caused deep harm to Zhuo Jing. I thought too little about it. In terms of emotions, it seemed that I could only look back and see clearly the 'crazy' self when I was hungover after I woke up. I was really speechless.
Cheng Baize looked at me but didn't answer. After a long while, he gently twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "So, my evil deeds haven't been in vain, right?"
I raised my eyes and looked at him: "I know you mean well, but I still hope you can let me make my own decision about emotional matters. Next time, don't do this again, okay?"
There was a hint of helplessness in Cheng Baize's eyes: "You think I'm willing to do this? I just saw you buying that sleeping pill and it made me very angry, you know? I think you're too... Hey, forget it, since you figured it out yourself
Well, it’s useless for me to say more and you won’t listen.”
As he spoke, he took a deep breath and stretched out his arms to me, showing his iconic dimples, "Classmate Jiaolong, I haven't seen you for two years, should you give me a hug?"
I stood still and said, "Why do you want to hug me? Seeing how strong you are in shouting at me, I know you are okay. You are fine."
Cheng Baize put down his arms angrily and curled his lips, "Oh, you can't understand the painstaking efforts I put into being a brother. I thought you could give me a big gift for meeting me, but it turned out to be a good one. We had a quarrel.
, I’m so angry with you that my teeth hurt.” After saying that, he looked at me sideways and said, “Are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”
I was not in a high mood. Although I knew that Zhuo Jing would be well taken care of by his family, when I thought about my uncle saying that he was looking for me, I felt very upset and said, "I'm not hungry. Can I buy a plane ticket now?"
I want to go back."
"Aren't you having fun? Isn't it your first time coming to Hong Kong? Didn't you say you wanted to travel with me before?"
I shook my head, "I want to go home."
…
I was on the earliest flight, and I looked heavy-minded all the way. I could tell that Cheng Baize tried hard to talk about some light-hearted topics, but I couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.
It wasn't until the plane landed that Cheng Baize opened his mouth with a hint of helplessness: "I'm going to see my grandpa when I get home. Why don't you smile more? Otherwise, your grandpa will think that I bullied you when he sees you looking so bitter and hateful!"
"
I twitched my lips: "My grandpa likes you so much, why would he think you were bullying me? He would be very happy to see you."
Cheng Baize raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to open his mouth, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and took a look at it, "I'm going to answer the phone first. You stand here and wait for me for a while."
I said 'hmm' and watched Cheng Baize pick up the phone and walk aside. I didn't have to think about it this time to know that his business would definitely be busy.
I looked around casually, and from a distance, I was keenly aware of a man carrying a slightly smaller video camera. After a closer look, there was a young female reporter holding a wireless microphone next to me. It's not that I'm sensitive.
I had been intercepted by reporters at the airport before. Although I didn’t know whether I was being interviewed, I still turned my head sideways, took out my sunglasses and was about to put them on, “Lin Qiao!?”
Suddenly I remembered a sharp female voice. I was startled for a moment. I put on my sunglasses and turned around. I was slightly surprised when I saw the woman in front of me, Tong Anqi!!! (To be continued)
