In the early morning of the next day, Ji Weiwei was awakened by a rapid ringing of her mobile phone. While half asleep and half awake, she half-opened her eyes, and one hand came out of the bed to explore the direction of the bedside table, and finally touched the mobile phone.
It was Lin Zhen calling.
Ji yawned lightly, put the phone to his ear in a daze, and muttered hello.
Lin Zhen on the other end of the phone knew that she was still awake, so to cut a long story short, she asked her if she had finished reading the script she had given her earlier.
Ji Qingyou finished reading the script of the urban love drama, it tells the story of two sisters, the story is tortuous and touching, the most important thing, there is no the most old-fashioned vulgar plot, if it is in normal times, Ji Qingqing So I agreed, and maybe I will go to the director to strive for this role, but now that she is going to marry Lu Lixing, it is estimated that she will be too busy at that time, and the schedule collides, so she can only reluctantly refuse.
"I'm sorry, Sister Lin Zhen, the script is very good, but I really can't move the time."
She also planned to spend a honeymoon with Lu Lixing after the wedding, and the return date was uncertain. At this time, the schedule of the program team would definitely not be able to adjust.
Ji Qingqing refused in every possible way, and Lin Zhen had no choice but to hang up.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Qingwei stared at the empty pillow for three seconds in a daze, remembering the secret she decided to confess to Lu Lixing last night in her mind, she was so excited, her sleepiness disappeared, and she woke up instantly.
After getting up, he searched around in the study and dining room, and finally found Lu Lixing in the gym, dripping with sweat.
Ji Qingqing knew that Lu Lixing would go to the gym for an hour of exercise every day, but the level of Lu Lixing's training today was really beyond Ji Qingqing's expectations.
Lu Lixing saw Ji Qingqing at the door, that's why he stopped, panting, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, took a big gulp of mineral water on the side, and then turned to ask her, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Ji opened her mouth lightly, and she swallowed the words she had been brewing all morning.
I really can't say it!
"It's okay, Auntie Pei just asked me to ask you to go down for breakfast."
Lu Lixing nodded, saying "immediately", but stood on the treadmill.
Ji gave a soft oh, turned around and went downstairs.
The speed on the treadmill was getting faster and faster, huge beads of sweat slipped from his forehead, hit the running belt of the treadmill with a bang, and quickly disappeared.
Snapped-
Running off.
Lu Lixing was panting and stood on the treadmill, leaning his hands on the console to rest for a while. Sweat slipped from his eyelids, which made him blink subconsciously. After he calmed down, the sweat sprung up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Drenched all over.
I didn't sleep all night, and I kept thinking about what I was going to say today, Ji Qingqing's possible expressions and attitudes after speaking, and his different remedies for Ji Qingqing's different attitudes.
He didn't want to lie to her, let alone hurt her.
If you don't want to hurt her, you have to lie to her.
Lu Lixing always prided himself on acting decisively, but on this matter, he thought about it for a whole night and still couldn't make a decision.
He can lie to her all the time, and Ji Qingqing will never know that he has lied to her in the future. As long as he doesn't tell, as long as he keeps his mouth shut, Ji Qingqing will never know anything, and he will never know.
Mr. Lu was in a particularly good spirit today. After breakfast, he listened to the symphony and became interested. He called Lu Lixing to play chess in the study.
Lu Lixing knew Go from a young age. Mr. Lu taught him to calm down and practice patience.
Usually Mr. Lu would fight with Lu Lixing for a round, but in the end, Lu Lixing always lost a son and a half. Mr. Lu knew that this was because the blue came out of the blue and was better than the blue. Lu Lixing let himself, otherwise it would be so good With luck, he just happens to win a son and a half son every time.
But today is a bit strange. From the professional point of view of Mr. Lu, he made at least three wrong moves, which is why he lost everything.
Looking at the defeat in front of him, Lu Lixing said with a difficult smile, "Grandpa, you won."
With that said, I'm going to clean up the chess game.
Mr. Lu stopped him and asked, "What's going on today?"
"fine."
"It's okay to lose three games in a row?"
Lu Lixing remained silent.
"There are no outsiders here, what's the matter, you might as well tell grandpa, grandpa is from here, maybe he can give you some advice."
Lu Li moved to clean up the chess game, and put the black and white chess in the chess box.
"Grandpa, have you ever lied to grandma?"
"cheat?"
Lu Lixing nodded, "For example, if there is something to hide from her, to deceive her."
Old Mr. Lu shook his head and laughed, "Of course, it is also the most regrettable thing in my life."
"The most regrettable thing?"
"I always told you before that your grandma and I were ordered by our parents to be a matchmaker. Before we got married, we never met each other. In fact, it's not that your grandma was tricked by me," the old man sighed. , "Your grandma was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, and her family was in trouble. I came to propose marriage and told her father that I am willing to solve their family's urgent needs, but I must let your daughter marry me."
"I have always regretted it and wanted to tell her that I liked her very early on, but I didn't. During the period when she first married me, she didn't dare to talk to me, so that in the first three days, we had a word She didn't even say it, but after that, she lived in fear every day, always thinking that I didn't like her, and she was thinking of getting the type of girl I like out of my mouth, and wanted to find me a concubine." Mr. Lu laughed helplessly, But the smile gradually faded away, and he said in a deep voice, "I didn't propose to her in front of her, and I didn't tell her that I fell in love with her at first sight. This is the thing I regret the most in my life."
Lu Lixing got his impression of grandma from his grandpa. He had never met grandma before, so he didn't understand, "Since you fell in love with grandma at first sight, why didn't you tell her?"
"Because of self-esteem." Mr. Lu said with a smile: "You may not be able to understand, but now I hate the self-esteem I had at that time. It is useless, except to make you think that you are an indomitable man , but men don’t need to hold on to their self-esteem in front of their women. Li Xing, if you really love someone, don’t try to hide anything from her, otherwise, it may become a regret in your life.”
"Choose between lying to her and hurting her, which would you choose?"
Mr. Lu said in a calm and forceful tone, "You have to be clear about one thing, if you lie to her, you are hurting her!"
Lu Lixing narrowed his pupils, put the last white piece into the chess box, and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, I know how to do it."
After speaking, he got up and left the study.
When the door was closed, Mr. Lu took out a sunspot and placed it on the chessboard.
He has gone through ups and downs in this life. He has experienced what he should have experienced, and what he should not have experienced. Except for this incident, he has no regrets.
If he could go back to the past, he would definitely tell her the first time he saw her, instead of pretending to be indifferent and make her tremble.
Mr. Lu took out an old handkerchief in a beautiful wooden box from the drawer, looked at the emptiness opposite with his cloudy eyes, and smiled slightly: "Do you know, from the first time I saw you, I liked you , especially like you."
The wind blew in from the window, and the handkerchief in his hand was blown up.
In the living room, Ji Qingqing was looking at the wedding dress with Aunt Pei.
According to Aunt Pei, these are all explained by Mr. Lu. If you are not satisfied, you can find another designer to customize.
The price of the wedding dress that was worn just once exceeded Ji Qingqing's imagination. The price was the first, and when she looked at those styles, she only thought that any one was good, so she was blinded by her choices.
"This one is good, and this one is also pretty, Aunt Pei, look! This one! This one is super beautiful!"
Lu Lixing stared at her smile from a distance for a while, feeling uneasy about it.
"Master, come quickly and help the young lady choose the wedding dress."
Lu Lixing was slightly taken aback, walked up to the two of them, and said to Ji Qingqing, "I have something to tell you."
Obviously just want to talk alone.
Aunt Pei smiled and said: "Oh, that's not good! I remembered that there are still flowers in the garden that haven't been watered. Young Master and Madam, let's talk about it. I'll water the flowers first."
After speaking, he looked at the two of them with the kind eyes of the elders, smiled and got up and left.
Lu Lixing took a deep breath, "Come with me."
The two went to a more private part of the study.
As soon as the door was closed, Ji Qingqing felt uneasy, feeling that Lu Lixing's seriousness today was not normal.
"What do you want to tell me?"
Lu Lixing looked at her deeply, and said, "I just talked with grandpa, and I think there are some things I can't hide from you. Four months ago, I had a car accident, and I lay in a hospital bed for a month, dying. At this time, it was Grandpa who found you, asked you to marry me, and was happy for me, and it was from then on that my condition began to improve."
Ji Qingwei was a little nervous, "I... what I want to talk about happened three or four months ago. At that time, I was in a lawsuit with Shen Weiwei. I had to pay a lot of money, and I couldn't afford it. But it happened that you were dying at that time. yes, and then..."
Suddenly she couldn't continue, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she would be treated as a psychopath, so she fled the battle, and said falteringly: "You should talk first."
Lu Lixing nodded and took a deep breath, "Okay, what I'm going to say next may overturn your cognition for so many years, but please believe me, everything I said is true."
Lu Lixing's serious expression made Ji Qingqing involuntarily serious, and listened carefully to what he said next.
"When you appeared in front of my hospital bed, a system called Little A appeared in my mind. It said that as long as I had any physical contact with you, I could live. I thought it was a mental illness, but later the system The posted mission told me it wasn't."
"Little A? Then?"
"It will give me tasks related to you to keep me alive, for example, call your wife, let you call my husband, these can increase my life value by one hour."
Ji Qingwei was stunned for a moment.
Didn't little A tell her when she first came to this world that Lu Lixing was about to die, and if she married Lu Lixing, she would get Lu Lixing's huge inheritance
She thought that Xiao A's mission would be completed if she married Lu Lixing successfully, so she disappeared after appearing once.
It turned out that it wasn't missing, and it was on Lu Lixing's body.
Suddenly she understood.
Got it all.
She said that in the novel, Lu Lixing died after the car accident, so why did she come back to life? It turned out that she saved him and changed the trajectory of the novel.
So, Lu Lixing's abnormal behavior before was all because of the system
"Haha..." She smiled, and after she laughed, she felt that the smile was inappropriate, shut up embarrassingly, and said with emotion: "I just said, you always ask me to call you husband for no reason, I thought it was just a little hobby of yours , It turned out that it was because of this, if you had said this earlier, I would have called you many times a day, and I would not be unwilling."
Thinking of the three months with Lu Lixing, Ji Qingqing's smile gradually disappeared, she lowered her head, and asked with a wry smile in a place where Lu Lixing could not see: "Then can I ask you a few questions? "
"Can."
"You accompanied me to filming in the film and television city, was it a system task?"
Lu Lixing nodded, "Yes."
With an expression of sudden realization, Ji Qingyuan lowered her head and gave a very short laugh, and asked again: "Is it a system task to be on the show?"
"no."
Ji gently looked up at him, "No?"
"You don't need health points to sleep with you at night, and I didn't have enough health points at the time."
The corners of Ji Qingqing's mouth straightened little by little, and she lost her smile, then she pursed her lips and chuckled, raised her head and thought for a while, her eyes fell on the ring between her fingers, she asked cautiously, with the last bit of hope in her mind, "What about that?" The marriage proposal on the show...is it also a system task?"
"yes."
Ji Weiwei stared at him in a daze, as if he had lost his mind for a moment, then regained his senses, and smiled vainly at Lu Lixing, with a calm expression and a normal tone, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"So that's the case, tell me earlier! If you tell me these things frankly earlier, I will fully cooperate with you. I am not the kind of vicious woman. I will definitely not do things that I will not save. You still Accompany me to the film and television city on purpose, accompany me on the show, so many days, how much time you have wasted, and this ring," Ji Qingwei hurriedly took off the sapphire ring, her hand was trembling, her vision was a little blurry, but she took a deep breath Holding back his breath, "Such an expensive ring is unnecessary, really unnecessary! You just made a ring with a pull ring from a can, and I would agree..."
Ji Qing braked sharply and smiled awkwardly at him.
Embarrassing, so embarrassing.
It feels like I am acting and others are watching my jokes all the time.
That's right, she said how could someone like Lu Lixing fall in love with her at first sight
What is love at first sight? It's just that I am passionate about myself.
"What I mean is, if you had said this earlier, I would have agreed to your marriage proposal and let you complete the task." Ji Qingqing looked at him very sincerely, and repeated: "Really! In the future, if You can also tell me what task Little A releases, no matter where I am, I will fully cooperate with you."
She held the sapphire ring and handed it to Lu Lixing with a nonchalant expression, "I still can't accept such an expensive ring. If you meet a woman you really like in the future, she will be sad."
Lu Lixing looked at the sapphire ring, but didn't take it, "I gave it to you, it's yours."
"How can I accept such an expensive ring from you? I can't accept it, I can't accept it... I really can't accept it!"
Seeing Ji Qingqing's bewildered expression, he suddenly regretted letting her know the truth.
If Ji Qingqing didn't know, he could be so happy all the time, and he would use the rest of his life to make up for all the deceptions she has suffered in the past three months.
"actually… "
"I haven't said anything after you finished!" Ji Qingyuan interrupted Lu Lixing abruptly, "Let me tell you, I'm not Ji Qingqing, you may think I'm talking nonsense, but what I said Is it true, I came from another world, like time travel? On the first day I came here, a system told me that it said that you are rich and dying, as long as I marry you, I will You can get your inheritance. Didn’t I have a lawsuit with Shen Weiwei at that time? I had nowhere to go, so I had to agree to the old man’s request to marry you. Coincidentally, my system has the same name as your system. Little A."
Speaking of this, Ji Qingqing was indignant, and vowed, "It's too bad! If you continue your life, you will continue to live, and you still make things difficult for you, and let you do so many things. Don't worry, if it threatens you in the future, you tell me, I will help you!"
"Look, since we've confessed to each other, let's do this today, um... there's one more thing, Sister Lin Zhen said before that there was a play with two heroines and she wanted me to act in it, and I agreed," she said, bowing her head Glancing at the time on the watch, his jaw trembled and his voice was a little choked up, "I made an appointment with Sister Lin Zhen to go to the set at 1 p.m., and I may, I may not be able to come back for a few days."
Speaking of this, Ji Qingqing thought about the system again, and quickly said: "But don't worry, just call me if you have a task, and I will rush there right away!"
Lu Lixing still stared at her with scorching eyes, his face turned ugly.
Last night he thought about all of Ji Qingqing's behaviors, whether he was disappointed, or broke down, or walked away after a slap, but no matter what the result was, he could face and bear it, but Ji Qingqing used Smiling as if nothing had happened, comforting him with a tone of indifference is the most unacceptable thing for him.
He could feel the care and bravado with which she defended her dignity.
Lu Lixing couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed Ji Qingqing's hand, and pushed her against the wall, condescendingly, watching Ji Qingqing's drooping eyebrows trembling because of anxiety, casting a heavy shadow on the eyelids.
"I admit, the first time I saw you, I didn't have any good impressions of you. I also admit that going to the film and television city is forced by the system, going to the show is also a system task, and proposing marriage is a system requirement, but it's not just a system task! No matter what What I was like before, now I like you."
Ji frowned slightly, avoiding Lu Lixing's gaze, "Why don't you think about it again? In fact, seriously, I have only been with you for three months, just three months. I think you might just be used to me, don't you really like me?"
"I'm sure, I like you, I like you now!"
Hearing Lu Lixing's sonorous and forceful words, Ji Qingqing felt a little sad and bitter, but he was not in a happy mood.
She knew she shouldn't be angry, and her purpose of getting close to Lu Lixing was not pure from the beginning, how could she ask Lu Lixing to be a pure heart from the beginning
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to tell myself the truth now
What are you still asking for
She tried her best to suppress the soreness of her nostrils, bit her lips, forced a smile to make herself look less embarrassed, and said, "Can you give me some time? I'm really in a hurry now..."
As soon as the voice fell, the phone rang.
Ji Qingqing answered as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and after listening to a few sentences, he answered twice, and then said to Lu Lixing: "I'm running out of time, I have to go to the set right away, I'll talk about it when I come back, okay? "
Lu Lixing stared at her burningly, but was unwilling to respond.
He knew that this was Ji Qingqing's excuse, but he couldn't say anything else except 'I like you now'.
Seeing Lu Lixing's refusal attitude, Ji gently took a deep breath and walked out from under his arms.
She stabilized her voice, not letting herself sound ugly and ugly, "If you have anything to do, call me, and I will come right away."
After finishing speaking, he didn't dare to stay here for a while, took his mobile phone without taking anything, opened the door of the study and left quickly.
When I met Mr. Lu downstairs, Ji Weiwei was taken aback, bowed his head sideways, concealed his emotions, and said as usual that he was going to the set. Mr. Lu may or may not have seen something, but he He didn't say anything, just asked the driver to prepare the car and take her there.
Ji smiled lightly to thank him and got in the car.
"Young lady, where are we going?"
After a long time without hearing a response, the driver looked back through the rearview mirror.
Ji Qingqing's eyes were red, her body was trembling, and her tears were pouring down like rain. In order to suppress her crying, she bit her palm hard.
