Later on...
The condition of her eyes was getting worse and worse. If she couldn't get a suitable cornea, she would face the removal of both eyeballs. He secretly planned to give her one of his eyes as a gift, and become a one-eyed man like her from then on.
But before his surgery, she received a cornea from another donor and regained sight in both eyes.
After she took off the gauze, he completely disappeared from her world. He just silently sent her abroad and let her pursue the dream of photography that she once told him about.
It's not that he hadn't thought about telling her that Tang Tang was actually Tang Jue. However, he knew very well that once he told her the truth, the pure beauty of the past would collapse in an instant in her world and become ugly.
Now, he was even more certain - if she really knew that she had spent such a wonderful time with this dirty and filthy enemy in her words, she would probably wish that time could go back and she could travel back and destroy everything with her own hands.
He always hopes to preserve some beauty.
Eight years later, the photo she gave him has not faded yet.
But…
Now his Qiqi no longer asks him for anything he wants or speaks to him in a sweet voice like she did before.
Even though he tried his best to force it.
"Brother, stop hitting me!" Tang Song couldn't help it. Before he crippled one of his hands, he walked into the boxing room and hugged the sandbag.
His thoughts came to an abrupt halt. The gloom in his eyes had not yet dissipated, making his face look even more sinister and evil. "Go away!"
"I can't leave even if you kill me." Tang Song looked at his hands and said "tsk". He had never seen a boxer fight without gloves. Moreover, he was injured. "Before you had problems with your legs, grandpa scolded everyone around you. Now I live with you. If I cripple your hands, I don't know how he would scold me."
Tang Jue looked at Tang Song for a long time, and the gloom in his eyes gradually faded away. The evil nature was gone, and a bit of dejection appeared. In the end, he said nothing, but tiredly threw himself into the rest chair beside him.
I took a bottle of water and poured it over my head, but it still couldn't dispel the depression in my heart.
————
Not sure if Tang Jue really let her go, he did not show up again in the next few days. The world suddenly became peaceful, Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief and returned to normal.
only…
Occasionally, the sad look in Tang Jue's eyes when he questioned her about "a lifetime" would still come to her mind. However, every time, she would tell herself that it was an illusion and she was just thinking too much.
this day.
She carried a camera and went out with Ruan Mengmeng to do an interview. The person they were going to interview today was a business tycoon in the IT industry, and it took Mengmeng a long time to arrange the time.
The two of them took the subway to the other party's office building. After explaining their purpose to the receptionist, the receptionist said, "Please wait upstairs. Mr. Wang is still meeting a distinguished guest. It may take a while for him to receive you."
"Okay. Never mind."
The two took the elevator and went all the way to the top floor. The top floor was very quiet, and the employees were all working at their desks. Qiqi and Mengmeng were invited to wait in the lounge. After the two drank two cups of tea, Mr. Wang's secretary came in and said, "You two, Mr. Wang asks you to go to the office now."
The two nodded and stood up. Ruan Mengmeng took out the recorder, and Qiqi also lowered her head to take out the camera from her bag as she walked.
She walked in front and opened the door of the lounge. Her attention was still on her camera lens, and she didn't notice that someone was coming in from outside.
"Qiqi, be careful!" Ruan Mengmeng reminded from behind.
She subconsciously raised her head, and the familiar and handsome face she saw startled her for a moment. She almost bumped into his arms, and she instinctively took two steps back to keep her distance.
Tang Jue obviously didn't expect to see her here. There was a second of surprise in his charming eyes, and then there was coldness.
"Qiqi, are you okay?" Mengmeng supported Qiqi who was retreating from behind.
Qiqi was wearing high heels and the floor was carpeted. She stepped back too hastily and sprained her ankle. But she didn't show any emotion on her face, just shook her head, "I'm fine..."
He looked away and never looked at the man at the door again.
It is said that enemies often meet on a narrow road, and she and Tang Jue really proved this saying true.
Meng Meng then let her go and greeted Tang Jue with a charming smile: "Qiao, Mr. Tang."
"What a coincidence." He smiled faintly and nodded. His face still had that unpredictable emotion, making it hard to tell what he was thinking at the moment. His eyes didn't even stay on Qiqi for a second.
"Mengmeng, let's go for the interview quickly and don't keep people waiting too long." Qiqi pulled Ruan Mengmeng, afraid that she would become infatuated again.
At this moment, Jian Qing pushed the door open and saw Qiqi standing beside him. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. But he didn't greet her. He just said respectfully to Tang Jue, "Young Master, we can go now."
"Yes." Tang Jue reached out from the sofa beside him, took his suit and put it on. He buttoned it up slowly and methodically, his gestures were elegant and noble. Moreover, he had an excellent figure, tall and straight, with impeccable body lines. Standing there in a custom-made handmade suit, he was already a beautiful landscape painting.
Ruan Mengmeng was staring at the scene with her eyes wide open and her saliva almost drooling, so Qiqi had no choice but to drag her out.
"Why are you pulling me? It's a great honor to see that kind of scene, you know?"
"Miss Ruan, are we here to work or to be infatuated?"
"Work! But if you don't look at the handsome men, it would be a waste." Ruan Mengmeng turned back reluctantly.
Qiqi had no way to deal with her. When she walked out of the lounge, she realized that she had really sprained her ankle. She was limping and it was quite painful wearing high heels.
… …
The door was closed.
The two of them disappeared from the lounge. Tang Jue dressed neatly and walked out.
Director Wang came out to see him off in person, so he stopped her. Then, through the floor-to-ceiling glass window, he saw that the interview had already begun inside. She was wearing high heels and taking pictures from all angles. Her expression was as calm as ever, only her occasional frown revealed her discomfort.
"Young Master, if you don't leave now, it will be too late." Jian Qing reminded from the side.
Tang Jue then turned around and left.
In the office, Qiqi pressed the shutter button, then she looked away from the camera and subconsciously glanced at his departing back.
Now…
When the two of them met again, they were like strangers to each other, as if those two kisses and the ambiguity in the car had never happened...
It was exactly what she requested last time.
I guess what she said last time had an effect.
Qiqi felt that she should breathe a sigh of relief. If this man was determined to pester her, she would not be able to resist him no matter how much hatred she had in her heart. However, whether it was hatred or love, she did not want either.
