“…”
Yes, you are the best.
Shi Xiaonian continued to help pack the luggage, and while Gong Ou was learning to fold clothes, Shi Xiaonian thought for a while and walked out, asked someone and walked directly towards Luo Lie's study.
She reached for the door.
The door was not closed tightly, but was pushed open, and the white gauze brushed her face.
Shi Xiaonian reached out and opened it. As soon as he entered, he saw Luo Lie sitting in front of the desk applying medicine to himself. His clothes were half-undressed and he was applying medicine to himself with some difficulty. His heart was red, his face was completely red, and his brows were furrowed. Tight.
When he saw Shi Xiaonian, Luo Lie endured the pain and said coldly, "There's no need to say goodbye to me. I don't welcome people from the Gong family."
Shi Xiaonian walked over, pushed a box of medicine to Luo Lie that was out of reach, and said calmly, "Really? Even my brother doesn't welcome you?"
As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang" sound, and the tweezers in Luo Lie's hand fell to the table. His face instantly turned as gray as death, and his eyes stared at her in shock.
Seeing his expression, Shi Xiaonian knew that she had guessed correctly, and couldn't help but said, "So this is really the case."
"How did you know?"
Luo Lie's breathing suddenly became heavier and he looked at her defensively.
Shi Xiaonian turned her body sideways and pointed to the black box on the bookshelf. There was a pattern printed on it. She said, "I know that pattern."
"It's just a brand pattern of a watch. There's nothing strange about it." Luo Lie said with a sullen face, "You must have seen what's inside."
"No, I didn't look at it, but I remember that I just like to wear this brand of watches." Shi Xiaonian said, "I guess he still wears this brand of watches on his hands now."
"That's all?"
Luo Lie snorted coldly.
"I also guessed it. When I think about it, some details become less far-fetched." Shi Xiaonian stood in front of the desk and said in a low voice, "When we met on the first day, I I don’t think you look like someone who is going on a trip soon. Your home is well organized, there are no suitcases, and even the ingredients for lunch and dinner are all fresh. The servants are not asked to buy them temporarily. There is not even a boat parked in front of Luo Zhai. , obviously you have no intention of leaving."
“…”
Luo Lie was completely right and turned away in embarrassment.
"You told me that you were going on a trip and were leaving soon. In fact, you were waiting for him to come over, right? So you didn't even refuse the dance at night and took us to attend." Shi Xiao Nian said.
“…”
Luo Lie's face became even more embarrassed.
Shi Xiaonian stood in front of him and continued, "Actually, you have always wanted to treat me sincerely. It was not because of me, but because of brother, so you usually carefully observe my lifestyle and study me every night. Because of your condition, you need to drink tea to refresh yourself, and you also open the windows to let in the cool breeze, just to make yourself feel refreshed, right?"
Luo Lie lowered his eyes, then raised his face to look at Shi Xiaonian for a long time, and said, "Continue."
"You were very nervous when I accidentally came in that day. You didn't hate me for breaking in by mistake, but you were worried that I saw what was in the box." Shi Xiaonian said.
“…”
"Today, you found out that we all lied to you, and you weren't too angry. But as soon as I called you Dr. Luo, you became extremely excited, even if you tried hard to hide it."
But she could still tell.
“…”
Luo Lie's face became increasingly gray.
"Doctor Luo, I have been to this place many years ago." Shi Xiaonian said, "The person who refused your confession back then really existed and was not made up by you, and that person was Gong Ou and I. elder brother."
It's Gong Yu, right
Luo Lie sat there and looked at her in surprise, with a bitter smile on his lips. He stretched out his hand to pull up his clothes and said, "Are women born with more delicate emotions than men? Mrs. Gong, you are really smart."
It was something he had hidden deep in his heart and never brought out, yet it was actually seen through by this woman with a faint look on her face.
No wonder they say women are born detectives.
"My brother doesn't know, does he?" Shi Xiaonian asked, "It looks like he doesn't know your feelings at all."
Didn't he say he confessed
It seemed that Gong Yu didn't feel embarrassed at all when facing him.
Hearing this, Luo Lie's eyes suddenly turned cold. He stood up from the table and glared at her angrily, "What do you want? Are you using this to threaten me to treat you? Impossible! Mrs. Gong, I am deeply affected by this." Thanks to Lancaster, even if you kill me today, I won’t cure it for you.”
"If I want to threaten you, the one standing here now is Gong Ou."
Shi Xiaonian said.
After hearing this, Luo Lie's eyes froze, and he stood there stiffly, staring at her intently.
"Actually, it doesn't make any sense. I just wanted to confirm it after I guessed it." Shi Xiaonian said, pursed his lips and said, "Don't you want to pursue Dr. Luo?"
"What does a person who has been rejected have anything to say?" Luo Lie said coldly, "I don't want to say more, just go!"
Shi Xiaonian nodded and stepped back step by step, "Dr. Luo is aloof and arrogant. If he is rejected once, he will probably lose his dignity. But feelings are not like this. They are not just guarding their own world. There is a future in a small box.”
"Don't you feel sick?"
Luo Lie asked, a little surprised by Shi Xiaonian's statement.
"do not think so."
Shi Xiaonian said lightly, Luo Lie looked at her blankly.
She had already said what needed to be said, and there was nothing more to say. Shi Xiaonian turned around and walked towards the door. Luo Lie's hesitant voice suddenly came from behind, "Hey."
Shi Xiaonian turned around and saw Luo Lie standing there, looking at her awkwardly and hesitantly.
"that… "
When Shi Xiaonian saw Luo Lie like this for the first time, the color on his face became darker and darker. Luo Lie hesitated for a while and said, "Do you want to listen?"
listen
What to listen to
Shi Xiaonian was stunned, Luo Lie walked towards the bookshelf without waiting for her answer, took down the black box from the bookshelf, opened the lid and handed it to Shi Xiaonian.
Shi Xiaonian looked over and saw some messy things inside, including folded scarves, several watches, a small wine bottle with half a bottle left, and some photos that looked like they had been taken secretly. There was only one owner of the photos. —Gong Yu.
The background in the photo is also easy to recognize, it is the turret with the bell ringing. Gong Yu in the photo is almost always lying on the table, wearing sunglasses, half-covered mask, and his face is red, as if he is drunk.
"Gong Yu and I have known each other for many years. We didn't have a close relationship at first. Later, when he came over one time, he was in a very bad mood and kept asking me to drink with him. During that time, I stayed with him every day. On that turret," Luo Lie said.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was quietly listening.
"I don't know when I fell in love with him. He either wears sunglasses or a mask, or both in front of me. I have never seen his true face." Luo Lie's voice said A little weak, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "That's how I fell in love."
It must have been that time, after Xi Yu passed away, Gong Yu came here feeling sad for him. When Gong Yu was sad for a person every day and drank too much, Luo Lie accompanied him and fell in love with him.
"He was drunk when you confessed."
Combining these contents, Shi Xiaonian guessed it logically.
"Yes." Luo Lie said, with a wry smile on his lips, "I confessed to him when he was drunk. Only then did I realize that he had always been pretending to be someone else."
"Why don't you confess to him when he's awake?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
Since you've gotten to the point where you can't help but confess, why not do it when others are sober
"He is a man, and I am also a man. I, Luo Lie, have always been arrogant. Even though I know I will be rejected, I don't want to be rejected. Naturally, I will do it when he is drunk." Luo Lie said, "In this way, I get The answer I asked for, he forgot all about it after he sobered up. Isn’t that great?”
It’s probably because I’m afraid that if I refuse, I won’t even be able to be friends anymore.
Shi Xiaonian vaguely understood what Luo Lie was thinking. This kind of inner suffering must not be easy. He couldn't get what he asked for, couldn't get close, and couldn't retreat.
Luo Lie closed the box and held it in his arms, with a touch of blood on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I think he and his girlfriend must be living well now, so why should I break up others."
It turned out that his outlook on life was positive, and she thought he really didn't take ruining other people's relationships seriously.
and girlfriend.
It seemed that the drunken Gong Yu didn't chat much with Luo Lie.
"Have you never asked him?" Shi Xiaonian asked.
"What are you asking? Are you and your girlfriend very affectionate? How embarrassing." Luo Lie said mockingly.
"I really don't know whether you should be arrogant or inferior."
He couldn't bear to ask, or he didn't dare to hear the affirmative answer, and would rather suffer alone.
"Just think that I'm arrogant at heart. I don't like to hear answers that I don't want." Luo Lie said, "There's another thing I have to tell you. I really regard Gong Ou as Gong Yu's substitute, because I have never I have completely seen Gong Yu’s true appearance, and when I saw Gong Ou, I was still thinking, since we are brothers, will they look alike?”
"So that's it."
No wonder Luo Lie's expression was in a daze at that time. He had never seen Gong Yu with nothing covering his face.
She had previously thought that Gong Ou's meek appearance resembled that of Luo Lie's ex.
They all guessed wrong.
"In the past six days, I have been looking for Gong Yu's shadow in Gong Ou, and I found that the two of them really don't look alike." As if he thought of something, Luo Lie burst out laughing. His laughter hurt the wound, and his face became paler. , "Of course, the real Gong Ou and Gong Yu are even more different."
The two brothers are indeed polar opposites in character.
Shi Xiaonian smiled and nodded, "Yeah, they don't look alike."
Luo Lie put the box back on the bookshelf, traced the pattern on it with his finger, and smiled sarcastically, "Gong Yu, it turns out his name is Gong Yu. He is the eldest young master of the Gong family. What a destiny." (To be continued)
