Tang Song hurried downstairs, leaving only Song Zhixing and Tang Yu in the office.
Song Zhixing sat quietly on the sofa while Tang Yu was flipping through documents. She listened to the sound of pages turning and looked at him from a distance. Finally, she couldn't help but speak first: "Are you...really going to go on a blind date?"
Tang Yu paused as he held the document in his hand.
Does she care? Does she care whether he is dating someone else or in love with someone else
"Well, why not?"
"Then, if the other person also thinks you're good, do you...really want to marry her?" Song Zhixing asked.
"If both parties feel that it's good, I can't seem to find a reason not to get married."
"But, you're already married!" Song Zhixing blurted out these words almost off the cuff.
Tang Yu's eyes were deep, he put down the documents and looked up at her. She bit her lip and stood up from the sofa. Tang Yu frowned, and she ignored Tang Song's instructions and jumped towards him with one leg, looking aggressive, "Tang Yu, if you marry someone else again, you are bigamy!"
"Bigamy?" He chewed on the word, as if mocking it. "Have I ever been married to anyone?"
"You and me." Song Zhixing's face turned pale and red. How could he ask so confidently? "We have a marriage certificate. I haven't divorced you yet, so why are you marrying someone else?"
Tang Yu stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and looked at her from top to bottom. Compared to her anger, he looked particularly calm, "When we got the marriage certificate, you were only 18 years old, so our marriage certificate is invalid and not protected by law - you have been reminding me of this."
Song Zhixing bit her lip and suddenly became speechless.
"Of course, my own application will be invalid and a bit troublesome. So..." Tang Yu paused, "If you will stay in Youcheng, you can take some time to accompany me to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
Song Zhixing's face turned pale. Her chest felt like it had been hit hard and torn into pieces. She took a deep breath, suppressed the pain, and spread her hands in front of Tang Yu, "Give it back to me."
Tang Yu looked at her without saying anything.
Her eyes gradually turned red, and she spoke each word with great emphasis, "Give me back my necklace."
Tang Yu stared at her stubborn little face, "We're already over, why do you still want it?"
"It's very expensive, I'll sell it for money!" Song Zhixing sniffed to stop her tears from flowing. "I'm only 21 years old now, and I've already become a divorced young woman. The necklace is your divorce compensation, which is far from excessive. Right?"
Tang Yu's eyes darkened and he stared at her for a long while. Finally, he uttered two words expressionlessly, "Throw it away."
If she could hold it back just now, at this moment, Song Zhixing suddenly couldn't hold it back anymore. Tears rolled down her eyes all of a sudden. It was as if all her hopes were taken away by him in an instant. He looked at her tears and said, "If you need, I can give you a check."
Cheque.
As time goes by, Tang Yu believes that all that is left between them is the check.
Her heart was cold and cold, as if she had been thrown into a cold pond. It was not only painful, but also cold. She didn't want to say even one more word to him, so she turned and left. As soon as her feet touched the ground, her body went limp due to the pain in her feet, and she fell to the ground in a mess. Tang Yu almost instinctively took a step forward and bent over to help her. However, before his hand touched her, she pushed him away, "Don't bother me."
Tang Yu's hand froze in the air.
"I don't need you to take care of me..." Song Zhixing stubbornly supported himself on the floor, and got up in a mess, still mumbling bitterly: "I don't need anyone to take care of me, I can do it myself. I can do it!"
This was said to him, but actually more to herself. She had come through these three years, and she could live like this in the next three years, countless three years!
Tang Yu pulled his hand back as she kept saying "I can do it myself".
Song Zhixing opened the door and walked out. Tang Song just came back and the two almost bumped into each other. Tang Song didn't know what happened. He saw her stand up again and opened his mouth to teach her a lesson. However, Song Zhixing just turned sideways to avoid him, endured the pain and walked out with her head down.
"Hey, Star!"
She walked into the elevator as if she hadn't heard anything, and was clearly emotionally unstable.
How long had it been since he left that something happened
Tang Song was confused, looking at the figure that had disappeared, and then looked back at Tang Yu. He looked tired, and it was obvious that he was worried and lost. He sank heavily into the chair, said nothing, turned around, and looked out the window with a lonely look. His chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable, and the tearful little face was in his mind for a long time.
He was still the same as he was three years ago, always losing some resistance in the face of her tears.
He grabbed the cigarette irritably, lit it, put it to his lips and took a puff.
"Second brother, I said..."
"How's her foot?" Tang Yu interrupted Tang Song's question and turned around. "Will she hurt her bones if she walks out like this?"
"..." Tang Song was stunned for a moment, then threw the medicine on the desk and sat lazily opposite him, "I thought you really didn't care about her."
“… I don’t mean to control her.”
"Yes, I really don't mean to control her, I just care about her."
Tang Yu glanced over and said, "Answer what I just said."
Tang Song didn't dare to joke anymore, "It won't hurt her bones, but she keeps walking and jumping on the ground like this, I don't know how long she will be in pain."
"Go find her tonight. W Hotel, 2304." Tang Yu put out his cigarette. "You should know exactly what to say."
"Second brother, since you still care about her so much, why don't you just..."
"I don't care about her." Tang Yu refuted Tang Song's words. Tang Song's lips twitched and he stared at him with amusement. Tang Yu felt a little uncomfortable when he was looked at by him. In the end, he just said stiffly: "There are some mistakes that I will not allow myself to make a second time."
After listening to him, Tang Song said nothing more. Everyone had seen how much the second brother had devoted to Xingxing without limits. But what was the ending? That little girl was somewhat ruthless. She said no, and she said it was over. She was so stubborn that she didn't give him any room or retreat.
The relationship was doomed to be unequal from the beginning, and in the end, both sides were hurt. Now that it has ended, it is expected that there will be no restart. The second brother is also a flesh-and-blood person, who will feel pain and remember pain.
"Okay. Then I'll go for you tonight. But, about the blind date..."
"Let's talk about it later. I'm very busy recently." Tang Yu refused directly.
Tang Song finally understood that he was being used. He smiled, and it was particularly charming, "Second brother, if you don't want to go on the blind date, I'll just make it clear to Xingxing tonight. Maybe that little girl still has feelings for you?"
