The rainy season in the East China Sea is very long, and it seems that it rains for half of the year
In fact, before that nightmare rainy day, Zhao Yu didn't hate rain so much, and sometimes he even felt that rainy days were romantic. After all, the beginning of her and Zhuang Ye was caused by a rain.
Unfortunately, the dark sky always gave her a sense of suffocation. At this moment, the raindrops that kept falling on the windows were also knocking on her heart, making it difficult to calm down.
But come and sit for a while? The video conference finally came to an end. Shang Lu picked up the coffee from the table in front of him and took a sip, then looked up at the back by the window.
Zhao Yu turned around: Is it over?
He nodded, his face unable to hide his fatigue
Since taking over the company, all kinds of important matters that need to be handled have never been stopped. Later, he was in danger and bought Lan Xi. He was even more obsessed with official business every day. Even when he came to her, he often had to work remotely.
Zhao Yu found the ointment from the medicine box, naturally squatted in front of him and lifted his trouser legs, applied the ointment evenly on the palms of both hands and gave him a slow massage: Does it hurt?
It's an old problem that can't be cured long ago, so it naturally hurts, but this pain is nothing to him.
Fortunately, I am content without a disability
Zhao Yu couldn't help asking: If it hadn't been cured at that time...
She didn't finish her words, but he understood what she meant: If she was lame at that time, then I might... be terrible
Looking down at her face, he couldn't help but raise his lips and smile: You should ask, if I hadn't met you at that time, what would I become? I think it would be even more terrible than if I was lame. If I hadn't lived, I would have only revenge.
She paused and continued to massage him patiently
He looked at her for a while and suddenly spoke: Do you feel sorry for me?
Zhao Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, looking up at him, he was like Xue Zhan, and could always see through her thoughts.
He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, letting her sit next to him, and asked: I've been thinking about this these days, are you?
She didn't answer, she was the default
In fact, from the time she accepted the cafe and the day she took the initiative to kiss him, some questions should be answered, but she has always been thinking about herself selfishly.
Shang Lu said: You clearly know that I did all this, not to ask you to be grateful and guilty, nor to ask you for your reward
Of course she knew this, but she also knew that it was absolutely abnormal to do things like this now.
She looked at him steadily and said: I went back to Wucheng with Xue Zhan that day.
I know, you told me
He and I... She was trying hard to organize the language, but after thinking about it, some words were always inappropriate to say to him.
He said she also took the initiative to kiss Xue Zhan? He said she would be unable to help herself when facing Xue Zhan? He said Xue Zhan was as gentle as she couldn't push her away? Or she kissed Ji Sui in the previous rain?
Shang Lu smiled and said: Do you know? Actually, I like you very much as you were desperate for revenge. You are very courageous.
Zhao Yu was slightly stunned and then smiled bitterly: That's the case?
He nodded seriously: The goal is clear and the path is clear. Just be decisive. If you should be cruel, you will never show mercy. You will not be troubled by others all day long like you are now
She smiled self-deprecatingly: Didn’t I be forced?
But that would make you live easier, he looked at her thoughtfully, you are already learning to enjoy life now, in fact, don’t think about so much, let it go naturally, it’s fine
She wondered: What does it mean?
I am an adult, I have the ability to think independently, and I understand what I want very well. Xue Zhan is the same, Ling Jianwei, Xue Zi'ang, Ji Sui, and we are all like this, we are willing to be by your side. That is our own choice. You have neither deceived nor forced you, and you don't need to be responsible for us.
Ignoring what he was saying, Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, but still looked at him with some confusion
He continued: What we want is that you can be happy and live easily and freely, not that you use other normal people as templates to force yourself to live in their way. Isn’t that great like you did before? Don’t you have to pay attention to anything, just consider yourself
But this is not fair to you
I said that it is our own choice. Don’t forget that we have to stay by your side. It has nothing to do with you. If we can’t stand it one day and choose to leave, it has nothing to do with you. What you have to do is just enjoy all this.
It sounds very reasonable, she doesn't even have a reason to refute it, but if you think about it carefully, Zhao Yu still feels a little incredible, and even a little hard to believe. This is what Shang Lu said.
Looking at him steadily, she asked: Have you never thought about marrying me?
I thought about it, but I know, you don't want it
He looked at her with a smile. At least, you are not willing to consider these things now. Since you don’t want to, then follow your original intention and continue like this. If you suddenly want to do so one day, then make plans again. Even if that person is someone else, I respect your choice.
He said, I don't want to force you to do anything, nor do I want to kidnap you with emotion and morality. You are always restless these days. I even hope you can be more selfish. No one cares, just cares about yourself.
Be more selfish?
But what he said was more than just selfishness?
She used to cruelly use many people because of her own selfish desires, but now she still wants to treat them ruthlessly? Accept everyone's kindness to her, but can't give them anything?
Actually, you can't bear to leave anyone, right?
During the silence, his voice suddenly came from beside him. Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment and stared at him in a daze.
His problem was like a sharp blade suddenly splitting somewhere in her heart, causing the hidden things to gradually emerge
Can't bear to bear it? It seems that there is a little
She once lost everything, and now there are still people who care about her and care about her. Everything they did for her has gradually become a part of her life. She will get used to it, rely on it, and become increasingly inseparable from it.
He said he hoped she would be selfish, but she was selfish. She used to do anything to avenge her, but now she has begun to greed for everything she has without knowing it.
Then let it go.
He slowly brought her into his arms without forcing himself to make any choices. Just walk on like now, let us make the choices, whether to continue to accompany you wishfully, even if there may be no result.
A gentle kiss fell on her forehead, and the heat from her mouth sprayed little by little in her ears. He slowly said: I can tell you now, I am willing.
