"I used to believe that no matter how bumpy the road to follow your heart is, you will never regret it in the future, so at that time I chose to believe every scene you sang to me without reservation, and even dreamed of being saved by you, but in the end I found that I never knew what my true heart was, Gu Chenhuan, you made my life a drama, because you never cared whether I would lose my true self."
Shi Tian's voice was very calm, and there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth. While narrating casually, he poured tea for Gu Chenhuan. The aroma of tea overflowed for a moment, and Gu Chenhuan's expression became more relaxed. He lowered his head and looked at the table. The tea liquid in the purple clay cup on the cup reflected his extremely gloomy complexion.
"So, the husband in your story is you in the past? And the one who left decisively was... "
"It's the real me now." Shi Tian smiled and took over Gu Chenhuan's words, "A scene that deviated from the real track freed me from the contradiction between my true and false selves."
Gu Chenhuan lowered his head, opened his eyes slightly, and the bitterness in his heart slowly expanded like ink stains in the water.
He knew that the off-track scene in Shi Tian's words was referring to the incident when he exchanged him for Yu Sheng.
"After you left, I learned everything from Uncle Xu..." Gu Chenhuan whispered, "I know that just because of the things I did to you, you will definitely hate me forever..." "
"Do you think my wife in that story would hate the opera singer?" Shi Tian said slowly, "The one who really hates him is the husband..."
Shi Tian took a sip of the tea he had brewed and said with a satisfied look on his face, "Maybe this is the best pot of tea I have brewed in the past four years. Try it."
Shi Tian asked the waiter to serve some exquisite refreshments. Gu Chenhuan remained still while Shi Tian drank tea and ate the refreshments.
"You explained everything so freely and freely, then why did you choose to come back now? And why did you agree to meet with me in private?" Gu Chenhuan suddenly asked.
"I was in a coma for a year." Shi Tian's voice was still calm. Under Gu Chenhuan's astonished gaze, he continued to taste snacks with an unchanging expression, "Then I sat in a wheelchair for another year. The remaining two years Just to get familiar with the new environment, I never thought about escaping. What I do now or where I go all follow my life. Just like when I came to K City, I just came here with my current family. Yes, if they don't come to K City to celebrate Uncle Qiu's birthday, or if they don't plan to develop in K City, I may never come back. As for meeting," Shi Tian smiled, "It will be a matter of time, there is always something on my mind. Talking face to face, if each other cannot understand the other's current state of mind, it is very likely that they will take the wrong path again. "
"Then do you know what I'm thinking about now?"
"To be honest, I don't know, but the only thing I'm sure of is that you won't hurt me again."
Gu Chenhuan felt a sour feeling in his heart. Shi Tian's words made him feel a little at a loss, "Why... why do you say that?"
"People will always grow, especially when loss is the price. Growth requires nothing more than time and experience, and four years and loss are enough for you. I think you must be more changed than me now. ..."
"I'm more awake than you. I'm aware of what I can't lose the most in my life." Gu Chenhuan's eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. "What makes me grow is not time and experience, but you, Shi Tian, I do If you are not as free and easy as you, I don’t believe you can completely forget everything that happened in the past. Whether it is love or hate, you will always keep a part of it in your heart. No matter how free and easy I am in the future, I can’t live without you. It’s your fault. During the four years when you were away, I regarded your grave as the only place where I could comfort myself. If you never showed up for the rest of my life, maybe I would..."
"If possible, please don't bother me again." Shi Tian shrugged, looked into Gu Chenhuan's eyes and chuckled, "Well, you don't seem to be able to do it now, but what can I say, there is no result. There is no point in trying hard and persisting." Shi Tian put down the tea cup and continued, "I have already recovered from my illness, and I have completely said goodbye to my past self. Now, I have my own life, and I will be better in the future. Live with the name Xiao Shi, and as for Shi Tian, just treat him as dead. Xiao Shi and Gu Chenhuan, these two people, have no past... "
Shi Tian stood up, took out a banknote and put it on the table. He turned around and picked up his coat that was placed on the back of the sofa.
"That's it for today." Shi Tian put on his coat and looked at Gu Chenhuan, who looked extremely lonely, with a smile, "There will definitely be opportunities to meet in the future, but then, I may have to pretend not to know each other. You, at that time, don’t deliberately try to expose me so that I can’t step down.”
Shi Tian finished speaking with a smile and turned around to leave. Suddenly he heard rapid footsteps behind him. Before he could turn his head, his body was hugged by Gu Chenhuan from behind.
Gu Chenhuan hugged Shi Tian's waist tightly and buried his face in the side of Shi Tian's neck. Warm liquid flowed from the corners of his eyes and dripped on Shi Tian's neck.
Gu Chenhuan's voice was choked and desolate, "I would rather you gritted your teeth and talk to me, I would rather you vent all these years of pain and hatred to me, than see me treat me as an irrelevant person so lightly, young master. ... .How can I give up? Tell me, when a person's heart is completely out of control and beating for another person, how can I make it stop... I beg you not to do this. Don't ignore me as your enemy... I can't stand it... You know, I can never give up on you... "
Shi Tian stood still, letting Gu Chenhuan hug him tighter and tighter, but this hug full of love and regret could no longer touch the softness in Shi Tian's heart.
There is no hatred, there is nothing that cannot be let go, and there is no fear of how Gu Chenhuan will entangle him in the future. At this moment, Shitian just wants to treat Gu Chenhuan as a passerby, but actually has no intention of deliberately alienating him.
When we meet in the mall in the future, he is still willing to give Gu Chenhuan a polite smile.
Gu Chenhuan hugged him for a long time, but Shi Tian didn't give him any response. Finally, Gu Chenhuan let go of his hand.
"Give me a chance to pursue you, let me be an ordinary member of your countless suitors." Gu Chenhuan walked up to Shi Tian and said softly, "You can pretend that you don't know me, you can dislike me and be tired of me Even if you hate me, please give me a process of pursuing you, even if there is no result in the end, even if it is just me being passionate, I will admit it, okay?"
"What you do is your freedom." Shi Tian smiled lightly, "But what I want to tell you is that your pursuit may be too late, because I am about to get engaged."
Gu Chenhuan stood stiffly on the spot as if struck by lightning, looking at Shi Tian in disbelief.
He actually...
Getting engaged...
Shi Tian raised his hand and looked at his watch, "My brother is coming to pick me up soon. I'm leaving first. Goodbye, old boss."
When Shitian walked out of the teahouse, Gu Chenhuan regained his composure and chased after him. His face was panicked and his breathing was rapid, "Shitian, I..."
"My brother is already here." Shi Tian suddenly interrupted Gu Chenhuan and raised his hand to wave to an approaching private car. Gu Chenhuan was stunned and turned to look.
The car stopped at the entrance of the teahouse, and Xiao Yi walked out of the car. He was wearing a crisp suit and a white shirt, and he had a graceful demeanor, with a natural and gentle smile on his handsome and elegant face.
"Old boss, we meet again." Xiao Yi said politely.
Gu Chenhuan hummed lightly without any expression on his face, "Master Xiao, are you here to pick up your brother?"
"yes."
"Brother, go back." After Shitian said, he got into the car directly.
Xiao Yi said goodbye to Gu Chenhuan, and as soon as he got into the driver's seat, Xiao Yi asked Shi Tian if he was hungry while starting the car. Shi Tian nodded, and Xiao Yi smiled and said, "I happened to see a new store when I came here. There’s a western restaurant, let’s go there and try it.”
The car started and drove away, but Gu Chenhuan heard clearly the conversation between Xiao Yi and Shi Tian.
After a brief period of grief, Gu Chenhuan called Liao Mingyi.
What he has to do now is how to win Shitian's heart back, instead of standing still because of guilt and watching Shitian leave with others. He will not do anything harmful to Shitian again. But that doesn’t mean doing nothing.
Gu Chenhuan knew very well that the current Shi Tian's heart was as steely and could not be saved by tender words and fancy romantic pursuits. If he took the ordinary path, he might just end up watching Shi Tian get engaged to someone else, so now... . .
"You are right. The Xiao family really wants to develop in K City in the long run. The first person to cooperate is the Qiu family."
"How are your preparations going?"
"Don't worry, everything goes according to plan."
After Gu Chenhuan hung up on Liao Mingyi, he called Zhou Kan again.
"Go and investigate Xiao Haiyan's son Xiao Yi. I want all his information, and also find out who Shi Tian is about to be engaged to."

"The food in this restaurant tastes good. If you have time tomorrow night, you can come back and try other dishes." Xiao Yi said softly.
Shi Tian nodded and said seriously, "It's indeed good. It's worth the money."
After paying the bill and preparing to leave, Xiao Yi picked up the coat that Shi Tian took off and put it on Shi Tian, "It's so cold and your clothes are too thin. Fortunately, I brought a coat with me in the car when I came. I'll get on it later." Put it on in the car."
"Well, thank you, brother."
"There is no need to say thank you for our relationship." Xiao Yi raised his hand to caress Shi Tian's collar and said gently, "When the project in K City is stabilized, your parents will announce your life experience, and then our relationship will also be When it becomes public, it will be time for you to change your story."
Xiao Yi k
"Brother, you are overthinking." Shi Tian chuckled, "I am very happy now."
Xiao Yi smiled and patted Shi Tian on the shoulder, and the two of them turned and walked out of the restaurant.
Just as he walked to the door, Shi Tian was suddenly hit behind him without warning.
A woman with heavy makeup and fashionable clothes walked out between Xiao Yi and Shi Tian while carrying a drunken young man who was walking staggeringly.
The woman did not forget to turn around and apologize to Shi Tian and Xiao Yi, "I'm sorry, he was too drunk and I couldn't hold him steady. I didn't mean to bump into you." After saying that, the woman continued to hold the man forward, sobbing. He said angrily, "Mr. Yuan, you just said that the drama that Canye invested in was the protagonist, so don't lie to me."
The man smelled of alcohol, and he waved his hand proudly, "I am the heir to Canye, and I keep my word... Hiccup... As long as you make me happy tonight, hehe, the protagonist of the next part of the drama will still be you... . ”
"I hate it, Mr. Yuan."
