After Escaping Marriage [GL] - Chapter 139
Cheng Zhanxi looked at Yu Qingtang’s right hand, Yu Qingtang looked down and put his hand into his jacket pocket.
Cheng Zhanxi: “…”
In the cloakroom, Cheng Zhanxi tried to be euphemistic and said, “Why don’t we go to dinner at noon?”
Yu Qingtang said calmly, “It’s much better than when I woke up in the morning, I should be able to fully recover later.”
Her exercise is not ineffective, she insisted on it for three hours last night, although it was not used all the time.
But Cheng Zhanxi, who heard her answer, felt more complicated.
Your hands are shaking like this now, what was it like when you first woke up?
Is she going too far? Cheng Zhanxi deeply reflected on himself.
Yu Qingtang felt extremely uncomfortable, and skipped the topic without a fuss: “What do you want to wear? I’ll get it for you.”
Cheng Zhanxi pointed, “the mint green one.”
When they got to the garage, Yu Qingtang tried to drive, but was stopped by Cheng Zhanxi: “I’ll come.”
Yu Qingtang obediently got into the co-pilot.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant for dinner together, and there sat Cheng’s father, Cheng’s mother, and Cheng’s brother.
With a spoon in his left hand, Yu Qingtang scooped the thick white crucian carp soup in the bowl.
Song Qingrou said with concern: “How can Xiaotang only drink soup and eat more vegetables, you are too thin, the more meat you have, the healthier you will be.”
Saying that, he used the public chopsticks to pick up a chopstick of drunken chicken for her.
Yu Qingtang said, “Thank you, Auntie.”
Song Qingrou turned to look at Cheng Zhanxi, and scolded lightly, “You also serve more dishes for your daughter-in-law and eat it yourself.”
Cheng Zhanxi smiled, carried the black pot on his back, and said, “I was wrong.”
Yu Qingtang glanced at Cheng Zhanxi and lowered his head.
The meal was finished in a generally pleasant atmosphere, except that Cheng Zhanxi was occasionally complained by Song Qingrou for not being considerate.
After returning from the meal, Yu Qingtang looked remorseful.
Cheng Zhanxi touched Yu Qingtang’s head and said, “If you insist, I made your hands like this. Blame me, I have been pestering you.”
Yu Qingtang raised her head and said disapprovingly, “It’s obviously my **** that makes me dizzy.”
Cheng Zhanxi’s eyes lit up: “what are you?”
“what? What?”
“The word you said.”
“The color blinds the mind.”
Cheng Zhanxi sighed contentedly and said, “I like the way you are obsessed with me.”
So last night when she saw Yu Qingtang crouching on top of her, her expression was obsessed, and the madness appeared from time to time, sweat slipped from her forehead, and she stroked Yu Qingtang’s sweaty face, not allowing her to leave. Love is mutual, and so is sex. From body to heart, they are the one who fits each other the most.
Yu Qingtang said firmly: “I will continue to exercise.”
If it doesn’t work for one month, it will take three months, and if it doesn’t work in three months, it will take one year. Sooner or later, she will be able to get rid of the shaking of her hands.
If Cheng Zhanxi knew what she was thinking, he would definitely say “big ambition”.
The next day was the engagement banquet. The two slept very early that night, got up early in the morning and asked the makeup artist to put on delicate light makeup, put on a tailored dress, and set off for the hotel.
The long red carpet could not see the end at a glance, Yu Qingtang walked in from the door holding Cheng Zhanxi’s arm, and the guests in the banquet hall with champagne stopped talking and stopped to look.
Cheng Zhanxi is dressed in a black dress with sloping shoulders, which is calm and elegant, adding a touch of coldness.
Yu Qingtang was wearing a white waist-length dress, which made her tall and slender, with her own fairy spirit. The right shoulder was ingeniously matched with a black ribbon design, which was more and more aligned with Cheng Zhanxi next to her.
Cheng Yi and the three stood on the left side at the end of the red carpet, and Wei Tingyu, dragging the sick body, also stood on the right side.
Whatever the process, he achieved his purpose, and in order to preserve that achievement, he must be there today.
Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang’s hands were placed in the palms of their two fathers, respectively.
Yu Qingtang’s body temperature was low, and when she touched Wei Tingyu’s palm, she couldn’t help but freeze. She raised her eyelids and looked at the very strange man in front of her. In order to look good, Wei Tingyu had someone put on his makeup. His face was like a crown of jade, and his eyes were like stars, and he could vaguely catch a glimpse of his youthful elegance.
Wei Tingyu didn’t look at her, she and Cheng Yi looked at each other and took their daughter to the stage respectively.
The two parents spoke separately, talking about their own children, complimenting each other’s children, and entrusting their children to each other. Cheng Yi was sincere and Wei Tingyu acted realistically.
Yu Qingtang was in a trance beside him.
If nothing else, this should be the first and last time she heard these words from Wei Tingyu in her life.
He is going to die.
The strength of the arm holding his arm suddenly tightened, Wei Tingyu’s smooth speech paused for half a second, and then continued as if nothing had happened: “My daughter, I hope she will be happy and worry-free for a lifetime…”
After stepping off the stage, Wei Tingyu looked down at Yu Qingtang’s hand and then at Yu Qingtang.
Although Wei Tingyu is terminally ill, his pupils are still black and clear. Time has taken away his youth, but not his eyes.
Yu Qingtang let go and stood beside him without speaking.
Cheng Zhanxi looked over worriedly.
Yu Qingtang raised her eyes and gave her a reassuring look.
The engagement banquet was done step by step, Wei Tingyu couldn’t help being sick, so she retired and went back to rest. Wei Tingyu went back, and several of her gallant uncles were vying to be Yu Qingtang’s parent.
Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang walked around the field. Except for the first cup of wine in Yu Qingtang’s cup, all the water was poured later.
Cheng Zhanxi sat in the back seat of the car, took Yu Qingtang’s hand and put it together with his left hand, looking at the engagement rings of the two of them, he couldn’t help but raised his eyebrows.
One step further than his girlfriend, now his fiancée.
Cheng Zhanxi turned on the lights in the back seat, raised his phone and said, “I’ll take a picture.”
She posted the two overlapping hands to the circle of friends, and friends commented “Hiccup, full”, “run away!” “She’s here, she’s here, she’s here with fresh dog food.”
Cheng Zhanxi opened her WeChat avatar, which was two diamond rings. She once put three diamond rings together and set it up as an avatar, wanting to commemorate and show off her unique marriage proposal. But I received more than one private chat asking why there were three diamond rings. Although Cheng Zhanxi loved show, he didn’t want to bother to explain one by one, so he exchanged two.
Before the two returned to Sicheng, they sent a large package containing wedding candy.
One of the teachers in the office, the dean, the two front desk ladies who are on duty on the first floor, the doorman of the community, the neighbors of Yu Qingtang’s house in the old town… The most important thing that cannot be missed are the students in Class 7. Tong Feifei is here. Yu Qingtang was called to the office after returning from vacation.
Tong Feifei knocked on the door of the office: “Mr. Yu.”
Yu Qingtang said, “Please come in.”
First, Tong Feifei is not a class cadre, secondly, she did not make mistakes, and thirdly, her grades were stable, so she was a bit embarrassed to appear here.
She watched Yu Qingtang put down the pen and dragged out a snakeskin bag from behind the desk.
“?” Tong Feifei pointed to herself.
Yu Qingtang nodded and said indifferently, “Take this back.”
Tong Feifei picked it up, oh, it was quite heavy.
Does this mean you want to pack up your bed and go home?
Tong Feifei: “Can I pull it apart and take a look?”
Yu Qingtang’s tone was still indifferent and said, “Yes.”
Tong Feifei pulled the zipper and looked inside, her facial features opened with a brush, and she smiled.
Tong Feifei: “Huh! What is this?” asked knowingly.
“Happy candy.” Yu Qingtang said with a smile, “Take it back and distribute it to the students in class seven, you know which class they are in.”
Tong Feifei patted her chest and assured: “That must be known! I’ll go!” She bent down and lifted the snakeskin bag.
Yu Qingtang said: “If you can’t carry it, go back and ask Xiang Tianyou to help you, and put the bag here first.”
Tong Feifei said, “No need, I am as powerful as an ox!”
How can such a thing be delayed? !
Tong Feifei picked up the snakeskin bag and rushed to Class 2 (5) of senior high school. Taking advantage of the time before class, she first distributed it to Li Lan from Class 4 and Lian Yabing from Class 6, and then rushed back to the classroom.
Her snakeskin bag was seen by a good classmate, and she herself was not low-key. The news of Yu Qingtang’s engagement and giving out wedding candy spread throughout Class 5.
Tong Feifei began to worry about Yu Qingtang.
Is it not good to send them to Class 7, without Class 5? After all, Yu Qingtang is now the head teacher of Class 5.
The classmates didn’t say anything. They all said rationally that the seventh class was the witness to the love of the gods. It was normal for them to have no wedding candy, but they were quite critical in their hearts, and at the same time, they felt that they were treated differently.
Yu Qingtang has taught Class 5 for two months. The classmates have feelings for her. The class group is also moving towards unity under the leadership of Xiang Tianyou. Last month’s autumn sports meeting greatly enhanced the collective cohesion. As a result, the atmosphere in the class was Momentary downturn.
But in the next class break, Xiang Tianyou was called to Yu Qingtang’s office.
He also returned with a snakeskin bag.
With Yu Qingtang’s character, how could he only give it to the seventh class and ignore the current one. As for Cheng Zhanxi, she hopes to get more blessings from people, the better.
Class 5 students also handed a portion of the candy. Originally, class 7 was assigned to class 5, and now they got two copies, and they gained countless envious and jealous eyes.
The students in the outer class are envious of the fairy class, the fairy teacher.
Whose teacher gets married and sends so many happy candies to students, this is the only one.
Yu Qingtang’s reputation in the school has expanded a lot. Without Cheng Zhanxi, the former top class of No. 1 Middle School, to compete with her, the teacher circle is completely broken.
After sending out the two snakeskin bags of happy candy, Yu Qingtang tidyed up his desk, took out everything in the drawer and put it back together, and found a comic book at the very end, and the cover was very beautiful.
Yu Qingtang flipped a page or two at random, and closed the surface calmly, but his heart was beating.
She confiscated a lily comic from Shi Keyu last year, because the scale was too large and extremely unsuitable for teenagers. At the end of the semester, Yu Qingtang returned everything else to the students, and she withheld the book.
Yu Qingtang deliberately waited until the evening for self-study, when there was no one in the office, took out the comic, couldn’t help but read a few pages, blushing and heartbeat, and put it in his bag.
As soon as she entered, Cheng Zhanxi, who was sitting on the sofa, looked back at her.
“Why is your face so red?”
Yu Qingtang raised her hand and touched it with the back of her cold hand, her cheeks were hot, she opened her eyes and said nonsense, “Is there any?”
Cheng Zhanxi said, “Yes.”
She stood up, walked over, held Yu Qingtang’s face with both hands, looked into her eyes and asked, “What are you thinking? Huh?”
Yu Qingtang looked straight at her and said, “I’m hungry.”
Cheng Zhanxi put down his hands, walked towards the kitchen, and said, “I’ll cook a supper for you.”
Yu Qingtang grabbed her wrist.
Cheng Zhanxi looked at her eyes and gradually understood something.
What kind of drama is this little white rabbit turning into a big bad wolf? She likes it too much, right?
Cheng Zhanxi hooked her chin and said, “Let’s go back to the room?”
Yu Qingtang said, “I want to be on the sofa.”
Cheng Zhanxi had no chance to answer, and was pushed down on the sofa by Yu Qingtang.
The TV was on, the volume was turned down, but never turned off. At first, I could still hear the characters’ dialogues on TV, but gradually I couldn’t hear them clearly, and in the end they were completely overwhelmed by Cheng Zhanxi’s voice.
Cheng Zhanxi almost got a leg cramp by Yu Qingtang.
After Yu Qingtang stopped, Cheng Zhanxi’s calf twitched involuntarily, Yu Qingtang moved it to her lap, and gently massaged her.
Cheng Zhanxi grabbed the two corners of the pillow with both hands, the joints were white to blue, and looked up at Yu Qingtang, who was illuminated by the lights in the living room.
Yu Qingtang’s lips are crystal clear, the bridge of her nose is pretty, and she looks like she is serving her with gentle downcast eyes.
Cheng Zhanxi lay down for a while before she recovered her body and mind from the passion just now. She sat up and Yu Qingtang brought the water from the coffee table.
Cheng Zhanxi took a sip and said, “I just saw Tathagata Buddha.”
Yu Qingtang: “?”
Cheng Zhanxi smiled: “I feel like I was taken out of my body by you.”
Yu Qingtang smiled shyly.
Cheng Zhanxi asked, “Did you make up lessons secretly? What did you do at school during the day?”
In the past, Yu Qingtang used to be silent and work hard. When he was at the most emotional, he said two love words, almost murmuring to himself, “I love you”, “baby” and so on. Today, it has evolved into a real dirtytalk, yes Tell the extent to which you will be coded in Jinjiang.
Cheng Zhanxi felt hot all over, his bones were soft, and he couldn’t remember how crazy he was.
Yu Qingtang said slyly, “I won’t tell you.”
Cheng Zhanxi snorted lightly, put his legs down, and then hugged Yu Qingtang’s waist, looking at her with a meaningful smile.
Yu Qingtang: “?”
In less than ten minutes, Cheng Zhanxi returned all that Yu Qingtang had done to her.
Yu Qingtang was limply carried back to the room by her, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her lips silently opened and closed a few times.
Cheng Zhanxi was close to her lips and heard her aggrieved cry: “You bully people…”
Cheng Zhanxi kissed the woman’s lips gently, and said more gently, “Good boy, exercise well.”
Yu Qingtang’s extracurricular readings in her spare time recently became the comic book. She devoted her time to studying mathematics and experimented on Cheng Zhanxi. Although Cheng Zhanxi would experiment on her every time, and the effect was doubled, but It did not affect her determination to study.
There is no limit to learning, and there is no end to learning.
The two lived a life where they only envied mandarin ducks and not immortals, and received news from the capital.
Mr. Wei passed away.
Mr. Wei will be celebrating his 90th birthday next year. In traditional Chinese folklore, people with full happiness and longevity, full of children and grandchildren, who are over 80 years old, can be called “happy mourning”, so that children and grandchildren will not be so sad. The Wei family has all these, and they have no time to grieve. When Old Master Wei died, the Wei family was completely plunged into chaos.
According to the eldest son’s inheritance, Mr. Wei gave the company to his eldest son, Wei Tingzhi. However, the second room has grown rapidly in recent years. Many of his own people have been installed in the company. The most important thing is share dividends, some real estate, and two small companies. Mr. Wei loved him during his lifetime, and this list should not be underestimated; the most transparent old fourth Wei Tingshu only received a small amount of material compensation. He used to follow him. The brothers were drinking soup, and now the two brothers were fighting, and he didn’t know who to stand by.
Yu Qingtang returned to Beijing for the funeral.
She was a complete stranger to this grandfather, and she didn’t even remember what he looked like. The Wei family wore burlap and filial piety, and knelt in the mourning hall. Wei Tingzhi and Wei Tinglan cried heartily, and their children persuaded by wiping their tears. All the guests who came to express their condolences looked sad and expressed their condolences to their families.
Outside the mourning hall, Wei Tingzhi and Wei Tinglan forgot about Lao Tzu and broke their heads in the company. The guests waited to see when the fight would stop, waiting for an opportunity to bite a piece of meat.
The Wei family is so big, who wouldn’t be moved?
Wei Tingzhi and Wei Tinglan were in a deadlock, and they turned their attention to Cheng Yi, the in-laws who had just married, and put forward generous conditions for him to help them.
If you continue fighting like this, others will reap the benefits. In this case, it is better to pick one that is pleasing to the eye. The sooner it ends, the less the loss. The Cheng family has a big business, and they are in-laws, so they should give up a little interest to get along with the Cheng family, and the Song family behind them. If they can really get on a boat, they will not only lose money, but make a profit.
Cheng Yi was waiting for the price, and the lion opened his mouth.
Old David Tingzhi hesitated.
The second child, Wei Tinglan, made a decision on the spot: “I promise!”
Cheng Yi concealed his surprise, poured a cup of tea for Wei Tinglan opposite, and calmly said with a smile: “My dear family, this is half of the Wei family, are you willing?”
Wei Tinglan laughed loudly and said, “If you are willing to give up, you have to give up. What about a strong man who breaks his wrist and half of the Wei family? I can still live for a few years, and my children are still young, so I may not be able to create another Wei family in the future.”
Cheng Yi raised his glass and said, “My in-laws have broad hearts, and Cheng is ashamed of himself.”
Wei Tinglan clinks a glass with him.
When Cheng Yi returned home, he took off his suit jacket and handed it to the servant. He walked over while unbuttoning his cufflinks, and said, “Wei Tinglan is a character.”
Song Qingrou said, “What’s wrong?”
Song Qingrou doesn’t know about shopping malls, but Cheng Yi has a habit of sharing everything with her.
Cheng Yi talked about the agreement with Wei Tinglan.
Song Qingrou: “This…”
Cheng Yi said, “His courage alone is far superior to Wei Tingzhi. No wonder he raised a daughter like Wei Zhiling.”
It is not a few who dare to offend the Cheng family in private these years, but none at all. Wei Zhiling was born, and everyone in the Cheng family remembered it. The last time Song Qingrou came home, she complained to her father, Commander Song, because her brothers happened to be there that day. The most glorious moment in Wei Zhiling’s life was reached without her knowing it.
Song Qingrou still doesn’t understand: “What exactly does he want to do?”
Cheng Yi said: “Press Wei Tingzhi to death, so that he will never have the opportunity to interfere in the Wei family again, and remove it completely.”
Song Qingrou: “And then what?”
Cheng Yi said, “So the Wei family is his Wei family.”
Cheng Yiwen patiently explained to her that the Wei family had accumulated a long history of abuses, and it was a matter of time before they would fall. Instead of dragging on and slowly leading to extinction, it is better to break when it is broken and make a comeback.
Song Qingrou nodded.
The reason Cheng Yi said was only one, and only Wei Tinglan knew about the second.
He was fed up with the Wei family fighting and fighting each other. He and his sons and daughters grew up in such an environment. There were not many normal people in the Wei family, and they should have perished long ago. He hated the blood in his body as much as Wei Tingyu, let alone half of the Wei family, he was willing to give up the entire Wei family.
Wei Tinglan tucked the corner of the quilt for the sleeping little daughter, bent down and kissed the little girl’s forehead, a sincere smile raised on the corner of her mouth.
Little Twelve will grow up in a loving family.
Wei Tinglan gently went out and closed the door.
Wei Jinglan stood outside the door, and Wei Jinglan whispered, “Dad.”
Wei Tinglan asked, “Why don’t you sleep?”
Wei Jinglan said, “I’m about to go to sleep. I saw the light in my sister’s room. Come and have a look.”
Wei Tinglan said lovingly, “Pay attention to rest.”
Wei Jinglan said, “You too.”
Wei Tinglan nodded and went back to the bedroom with her hands behind her back.
At the moment of passing by, Wei Jinglan noticed that the deep roots of Wei Tinglan’s hair were dyed with large patches of silver.
Wei Jinglan’s eyes were sour, and he said, “Father.”
Wei Tinglan turned back.
Wei Jinglan looked at him seriously and said, “Pay attention to your body.”
Wei Tinglan smiled and nodded.
“For your sake, I will also take care of my health, and I have to take Little Twelve out to play.”
Wei Jinglan watched Wei Tinglan go back to the room and turned into the study.
Inside Wei Jingfeng raised his head: “Did Dad sleep?”
“Just slept.” Wei Jinglan sat on the other side of the desk, took a sip of the cold coffee, and opened the documents in front of him.
It’s better to let them young people do things like staying up late.
***
This year, the snow in Sicheng came earlier than last year. The winter solstice in 2019 was Sunday. The two of them slept late the day before and woke up until noon.
The automatic curtains opened, the sky and the earth were white, and snowflakes were still fluttering in the air.
The first snow, they made their first love on Sunday.
Hungry until their stomachs growled, they protested strongly, and the two lazily came out of the bed and put on thick cotton pajamas.
Cheng Zhanxi is not used to the hot air of the air conditioner, which will make her brain dizzy, and then listless, lethargic, and have no inspiration all day. As usual in the cold winter, she complained about why there was no heating, brushed her teeth and washed her face with Yu Qingtang shoulder to shoulder, went to the kitchen and ordered two bowls of dumplings. Yu Qingtang likes to eat shrimp skin, so she put a little more in the soup base in Yu Qingtang’s bowl.
The bowl was brought to the dining table, chopsticks and spoons were placed, and Yu Qingtang was nowhere to be seen in the living room.
Cheng Zhanxi went into the bedroom, Yu Qingtang stood in front of the window, just put down the phone in his hand, looking outside in a trance.
“Yu Qingtang?” Cheng Zhanxi called tentatively.
Yu Qingtang turned around with a blank expression on his face.
Cheng Zhanxi stepped forward and asked gently, “What’s wrong?” She looked at the phone in Yu Qingtang’s palm, Yu Qingtang also lowered her head, opened the call log and glanced at it, as if to confirm whether everything just happened was an illusion.
Yu Qingtang raised her head, and after a long while, she said slowly, “The Wei family just called and said… Wei Tingyu is dying.”
Cheng Zhanxi gave a soft “um”.
“He’s dying.” Yu Qingtang said as if to himself.
Cheng Zhanxi raised his hand and hugged her gently into his arms.
Yu Qingtang buried her cheeks in her warm neck.
Cheng Zhanxi felt a slight warmth, and Yu Qingtang whispered in her ear with a choked voice: “But I still want to see him.”
Cheng Zhanxi patted her back lightly and said, “I’ll go back with you.”
She knew that Yu Qingtang wanted an answer, even if she told herself countless times in her heart, she still wanted to hear Wei Tingyu say it in person before he died. Otherwise, she will never be able to truly let go in her life.
Cheng Zhanxi bought two high-speed rail tickets and arrived in the capital at midnight.
The hospital corridor was brightly lit, and outside the ward was full of people from the Wei family, whether acting or being sincere, when Yu Qingtang came, Wei Jinglan opened the door of the ward and let her in.
Cheng Zhanxi and his wife Cheng Yi who came later stayed outside.
Wei Tingyu lay quietly on the snow-white hospital bed. His face was even whiter than everything in the ward. Even if he was thin and skinny, he looked like a delicate jade carving.
Yu Qingtang sat in front of the bed, hesitantly reached out and held the man’s unusually cold hand.
Wei Tingyu’s eyelashes trembled and he opened his eyes. His heart was heaving, he exhaled, and said calmly, “You are here.”
Yu Qingtang held his hand and asked the question she had been tormented in her mind for more than 20 years.
“Have you ever loved me?” Yu Qingtang called him for the first time in her life, “Dad.”
Wei Tingyu looked at her and shook her head.
“No, I only love your mother. Even if she hates me and blames me under Jiuquan, I will not love anyone else in this world except her, even if you are my daughter.” Wei Tingyu said, “I’m the one who brought you into this world, sorry.”
Wei Tingyu held his breath, just to wait for her to come. After he said this, the breath that had gathered his soul disappeared, and his pupils began to dilute.
The water ripples slightly, and Yu Qingtang’s facial features in front of him become softer and softer, and the mole at the end of his eyes is gone, and he calls him gently—
Court jade.
His life was fleeting, but only a few short years, too hurried, were not enough to remember the moment when he was dying.
Wei Tingyu stretched out his hand to the woman in the white light, and the woman smiled softly and held his hand, just like before.
Depressed speech…
The corner of Wei Tingyu’s lips raised a smile, which was always fixed on his handsome face.
The hand that Yu Qingtang was holding fell down weakly.
Yu Qingtang opened the door, and the people on the hospital bed were covered with white cloth. The doctor came out and said to the family members waiting outside, “Condolences.”
There were sobbing cries in and out of the hallway.
