President Ba’s Little Rose - Chapter 67
Qiao Zong finished listening to the recording.
After the recording was played for a long time, the word “no” said by Shen Xizhi still lingered in his heart.
It should have been expected, so he didn’t ask Shen Xizhi.
But when Lin Guiming plainly laid out the facts before him, there was a dull pain in his heart. This kind of pain is not very painful, but it will last for a long time, in the end it hurts to endless aftertastes.
Lin Gui looked at his frowning brows and put away the phone in silence.
Qiao Zong hadn’t spoken for a long time, and the living room was not very quiet, but his surroundings seemed to be trapped by an invisible cage.
Lin Gui poured a cup of tea for Qiao Zong. “Sir, let’s have a cup of tea.” She handed it to Qiao Zong’s hand. There were dark brown tea leaves floating in the porcelain white tea cup.
Qiao Zong took the tea and looked down, “Yes.”
Things in the past, even if they are past, cannot be forgotten.
The moon climbed up the treetops, and the moonlight shone down, shining into the room through the glass windows.
Qiao sat on the floor with his back against the edge of the bed, one leg bent, and his head looked up at the bright moon outside the window.
Yueer Wanwan, like a mooncake with a big bite bitten by a little baby.
He straightened his legs and raised his face halfway. There was no expression on his face. After a long time, he pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
The screen of the phone on the side turned bright and dark, and Qiao Zong put the wine bottle beside his lips and took a sip of wine.
About a long time ago, Shen Xizhi had toasted him. At that time he said he was not suitable for drinking.
The little girl couldn’t say what was good, there were obviously more people who were better than her, but she could not forget her.
Missing is like an ant, corroding his heart inch by inch. Leaving wounds riddled with holes.
He drank a bottle of wine in his hand, and Qiao Zong threw the bottle out, and the bottle hit the pile of cans, making a crashing sound.
It was probably because he had drunk too much, his head was dizzy, his consciousness seemed to be covered with a white mist, and he couldn’t think clearly about things.
With no energy in his hand, he trembles to get the phone, but his thumb trembles when he wants to unlock it, and he can’t press it down anyway.
Finally, trembling and unlocking the phone, Qiao Zong clicked on the dial interface and broadcasted a string of phone numbers that he had already memorized.
The phone beeped for a long time, and no one answered it for the first time.
He straightened up with his hands on the floor and pressed it again.
The bell rang for three seconds, and finally someone answered.
On the other end was the woman’s vague voice: “Hello? Which…?”
Qiao Zong said, “Shen Xizhi, let me ask you something.”
Suddenly hearing the man’s voice, Shen Xizhi suddenly woke up, she subconsciously murmured: “… Qiao Zong?”
What phone did Qiao Zong call her in the middle of the night?
Ah wrong, why is Qiao Zong still calling her now? They have been separated for so long.
Shen Xizhi grabbed the phone, thinking about hanging up on the spot. Qiao Zong asked, “Is it really impossible for us?”
The man’s voice was hoarse, as if it was filled with deep sadness.
Shen Xizhi felt extremely ridiculous when she heard this. Doesn’t he already have Lin Gui? Why are you still looking for her?
Do you come to your ex-girlfriend for comfort after quarreling with your current girlfriend?
Shen Xizhi said angrily: “Mr. Qiao, you already have a girlfriend, please respect yourself.”
Qiao Zong didn’t hear what she was talking about. People who are drunk only think about themselves. He said to himself: “Shen Xizhi, do you know that, I miss you very much.”
“?” Shen Xizhi was taken aback.
Qiao Zong called her at this time and said he missed her?
Ridiculous!
He laughed and said bitterly, “Do you know… Do you know…”
Shen Xizhi squeezed the phone and stared at the screen closely in the darkness.
“…I really miss you.” He said.
Shen Xizhi’s eyes were dumbfounded, and his heart was mixed with what he said. Does he miss her? He missed her? Does he know what he is talking about?
She was angry for a while, but then felt that there was some unspeakable depression.
She didn’t say a word, nor did she hang up, she was waiting for Qiao Zong to continue talking.
Qiao Zong said: “I really miss you so much, you come back, okay?”
“No, good.” Shen Xizhi said softly, “I, no, miss you.”
She bit every word very lightly, and Qiao Zong heard clearly, “Really?”
He also asked her.
Shen Xizhi said, “Really.”
He seemed to have heard it, but he didn’t seem to have heard it either.
“Really.” Qiao Zong said: “Will it be with me then?” He wasn’t asking her, he was just talking to Void.
Shen Xizhi placed the phone next to her pillow and stared at the gap in the curtains with a gleam of light coming in with her eyes open. In her ears was a man’s low-pitched voice almost crying.
Qiao Zong said a lot.
Sometimes it seems like saying something cruel: “Shen Xizhi, you are so cruel, you say you like me so much, but you dumped me as soon as you turned around!”
Sometimes it’s like begging her: “I know I was wrong. I will treat you well in the future without hiding anything from you. Will you come back to me? Don’t dump me.”
“…”
Finally, Shen Xizhi fell asleep in a daze, unable to hear what he was talking about.
She had a dream.
In the dream, the sun was warm and the streets were full of people. She was ignorant and saw Qiao Zong.
For her, Qiao Zong was the heartbeat of her youth. It is also her rare loneliness.
She used to be so brave for Qiao Zong.
However, Qiao Zong told her to accompany him to death.
She didn’t understand that it was love, or almost crazy stubbornness. If you love someone, shouldn’t you want to make her live better? How could Qiao Zong be able to say such a thing.
The vacation is almost over. Shen Xizhi has stayed at home for a long time, and Shen Mingxuan is also reluctant to let her daughter go to M country.
Every day he muttered like an old father, “Zhizhi, you must take care of yourself outside and don’t be wronged.”
Or: “After the second half of the year, go home and stay away.”
Shen Xizhi felt that he was nagging, but at the same time he felt warm in his heart. In this world, the only people who care about her like this are her parents and relatives.
In order to express his concern for his parents, Shen Xizhi deliberately woke up early and made breakfast for his parents personally.
As a result, the porridge was battered, the milk was battered, even the eggs were boiled, and the dishes at home were broken. I don’t know how many.
Early in the morning, Shen’s family was disturbed by her. When Shen Mingxuan woke up, he saw the chaos in the house. He was grateful for his daughter’s heart and felt a headache.
“You little girl, you can’t even cook meals, how can I be assured that you will go out of town alone?” The old father said earnestly.
Shen Xizhi had to scratch her head and smile, and said to please, “Dad, don’t worry.” She took Shen Mingxuan’s arm and acted like a baby, “I don’t have to cook by myself anyway.”
“You, you.”
While talking, Shen Xizhi remembered the last time.
She fell ill in Country M. Qiao Zong took her to the hospital. When she woke up, she was stubborn. Qiao Zong said that he only went to see her because of Shen Qingyi.
But they knew the truth well.
But if Qiao Zong really still has her in his heart, where does Lin Gui come from?
When returning to Country M this time, Shen Xizhi didn’t need to bring anything. After all, those things could be bought outside.
She walked around alone outside, and she didn’t think about what to buy.
However, in the crowded street, I saw Qiao Zong and Lin Gui.
Lin Gui was wearing a mask, but Shen Xizhi still recognized it at a glance. Joe next to her smiled slightly, wearing white T-gray trousers, very casual.
Only the four words langcai and female appeared in her mind.
The two walked together, so well matched and seductive. On the big screen behind them, there was an advertisement endorsed by Lin Gui.
Standing on the street, Shen Xizhi was in a daze, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
Qiao Zong called her that night.
He said he missed her.
But now the person next to him is Lin Gui.
What is she thinking about her wishful thinking? What does she want, after all?
The street crowd hid her, and the two did not notice her. Shen Xizhi stared at their figures, and her hands hanging beside her slowly gathered into fists.
It was Qiao Zong who she didn’t want, but why did her heart hurt so much when she saw Qiao Zong and Lin Gui together now.
