[91]
For several days in a row, regardless of the wind or rain, Lu Ming waited outside the villa complex every day.
Even the guards frequently notified Aunt Su, asking if she wanted to let her go. Aunt Su couldn't make up her mind. Her boss didn't let Lu Ming in. She didn't have the power to make the decision.
Helpless, Aunt Su could only stop at the door when she was driving to buy vegetables in the morning, and explained a few words to Lu Ming who was standing holding a bouquet of roses, telling him not to come again. The straightforward words made Lu Ming clenched his hands silently.
"If he doesn't see me, I'll still come."
The roses in Lu Ming's arms were bright and fresh, and they were newly bought every day. He was determined to see Chi Qiu.
Since Chi Qiu didn't want to see him, he brought something over every day. With the rose in her arms, sometimes it is two concert tickets, sometimes it is a bowl of pork rib soup that Chi Qiu likes, sometimes it is a handwritten letter... and so on, as long as Chi Qiu said something forward If you like it, Lu Ming will send it in a different way every day.
He doesn't feel bored, let alone troublesome.
Every day Chi Qiu refuses to agree to see him, he will not stop this behavior.
And Lu Ming lost a lot of weight, and his complexion was not as healthy as before. Although he still tidied up himself clean and refreshed, his tiredness was fully hung on the bags under his eyes due to insomnia after running around for days.
That's why Aunt Su felt compassion today and accepted his tea with a sigh. And, the handwritten letter that was placed together in the tea bag.
The atmosphere in the front yard froze in an instant, and Aunt Su saw Chi Qiu's smiling face drop to a sullen and silent expression, knowing that she had done something bad with good intentions. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth and took out the handwritten letter.
This was what she discovered when she opened the tea leaves just now.
She carefully put the envelope into Chi Qiu's hand, wondering why Lu Ming wrote to Chi Qiu. The paper inside the envelope felt thin and smooth, and it was not made into Braille. From her point of view, Chi Qiu couldn't "read" by himself.
Chi Qiu was stunned, and his eyes fell on the envelope: Chi Qiu (received). He rarely saw Lu Ming's neat handwriting, so he unconsciously squeezed the envelope tightly, feeling sad.
I want to see it, but I don’t think I should.
He still thought, so what if he saw it, would he soften his heart again? Lu Ming's bitter plan is his natural enemy, out of sight, out of mind.
Just when he was hesitating, Aunt Su tentatively asked him who didn't say a word: "This is a letter from Young Master Lu, may I read it to you?"
Chi Qiu didn't let go, he didn't let Aunt Su take it apart.
"Master?"
"...I, I don't want to hear it."
Regarding Lu Ming's behavior, Chi Qiu seemed unmoved, but in fact he was full of confusion.
Aunt Su didn't know the inside story, and always thought that Chi Qiu, who had always been soft-hearted, would agree to let Lu Ming come in for a chat sooner or later. She had sensed that Chi Qiu was depressed recently, so she did a "little favor" out of affection.
Unexpectedly, before Aunt Su said the next sentence, Chi Qiu gradually became cold: "I have nothing to talk to him about."
It was the first time Aunt Su saw Chi Qiu with such a blunt attitude, and she stood up nervously.
In Chi Qiu's heart, like a mirror, he saw the matter clearly: "He just regretted it." He regretted agreeing to his divorce, and regretted that he thought he was magnanimous in letting himself go.
Lu Ming said it nicely, saying that he doesn't want that property is actually nonsense. Lu Ming made up his mind to return to China to take revenge, how could he let it go so easily
Chi Qiu clenched his hands tightly, he really couldn't figure it out - how dare Lu Ming come to lobby him after it's come to this point? If he really annoyed himself, after he handed over the evidence of Lu Ming's petty tricks to Mr. Lu, Lu Ming would not be able to share any of his property.
Chi Qiu's hand withdrew his strength and squeezed the envelope into a ball. The thick envelope paper hurt him.
Suddenly, his heart was stabbed, and belatedly he thought: Is it because Lu Ming is sure that he will not tell Mr. Lu, is it because Lu Ming is sure that he still has such a trace of affection for him in his heart
If so...
Chi Qiu's back felt numb, and he clenched his teeth secretly.
If this is the case, then Lu Ming is simply selfish.
...
Chi Qiu admits that after so many years of liking, it doesn't mean that letting go can completely let go in just a few days. He did decide not to miss Lu Ming any more, but in his heart, Lu Ming's shadow still existed in that position.
Chi Qiu has been a stubborn person since he was a child. No matter how well he pretends on the surface, it still takes some time in his heart to completely erase a relationship that has taken root for ten years.
And this period of time was undoubtedly extremely tormenting for him.
If Lu Ming knew this, he shouldn't bother him again and again.
Chi Qiu pursed his lips, feeling uncomfortable.
Whenever he clearly understood that for Lu Ming, he was just a tool for fighting for property, he would be uncontrollably upset. He hated his heart that couldn't calm down when he thought of Lu Ming.
Therefore, he was not in the mood to drink tea anymore: "I'm going back to my room, and I'll come out at dinner time."
He threw the letter in his hand on the table without taking it away.
Aunt Su followed up with a look of confusion: "Young Master, I did something wrong. I also saw that Young Master Lu was very haggard, so... Young Master, you don't know, Young Master Lu has lost a lot of weight, and his whole body has lost weight. All wilted. I've never seen him like that, poor thing."
"..."
Hearing that Lu Ming was having a bad time, Chi Qiu was not happy at all. He stopped and stayed where he was, speechless. He tried to open his mouth, wanting to care, but he shouldn't let himself care.
How is Lu Ming? What does it have to do with him
Chi Qiu lowered his eyes and said, "If he's not in good health, let him go back to rest and don't bother me."
Hearing what he said, Aunt Su nodded her head quickly, but she didn't dare anymore, she admitted her mistake and said: "Okay, I'll go out tomorrow and explain it to him. You've only had this body for a while, so don't be angry."
Chi Qiu didn't want Aunt Su to blame herself too much, so she softened her tone and turned around: "Aunt Su, I know you have good intentions and care about me. But the problems between me and Lu Ming cannot be resolved with just a few words. Yes." He said decisively, "I said I didn't want to see him, it was never a joke."
He would rather continue to be confused by himself than see Lu Ming.
Apart from divorce, he has nothing to say to Lu Ming.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, it began to rain lightly.
Chi Qiu lay quietly on the armchair in his room, flipping through a book in his hand. The sound of the rain gradually became louder. Chi Qiuban sat up and looked out the window.
The raindrops hit the glass, reminding Chi Qiu of the day when he bumped into Lu Ming and said something cruel. But today's rain is not like thunderstorms in summer, but the cooling down after a burst of humidity in autumn.
On rainy days, Chi Qiu can always think of what Lu Ming said: "If he hadn't lost his sight, I wouldn't have married him."
He raised his hand in a panic for no reason, and couldn't help covering his right eye. Such a simple sentence has been hovering in his mind. To this day, he has been sick and cried a lot, but he still feels that this sentence is enough to hurt people, enough to make people lose their souls and be extremely disappointed.
Chi Qiu's palm slowly pressed against his closed right eye, covering up the light of the day, and his world plunged into darkness. The fear that has haunted him since he was a child always warns him that loneliness is so long.
The rising dawn at the age of 15 has turned into a setting sun.
Sitting alone in the room, Chi Qiu withdrew his hand desolately. He turned his head, and the rain curtain became a waterfall rushing past under his eyes.
He got up and stood in front of the window in a daze.
His mobile phone was on the bedside table beside him, and it vibrated slightly twice.
Chi Qiu came back to his senses, picked it up quickly, and saw a message from Ji Yanchen: [With my brother's help, things are going super smoothly. But there are still some small places to take care of, and I guess it will take some time to be fully arranged. Don't worry, it's absolutely fine for me and my brother to do business! You wait for good news! ]
Chi Qiu's body, which was still stiff just now, suddenly relaxed because of a message from Ji Yanchen.
He was full of gratitude, and hurriedly typed a reply: [Thank you and Brother Ning for helping me all the time. ]
Ji Yanchen replied simply: [Thank you, we are happy. Go busy, don't bother. ]
Chi Qiu obediently stopped disturbing.
Because at this moment, Ji Yanchen is helping Chi Qiu make arrangements abroad, and strives to take him over next month in the name of treating his eyes to make preparations for "recovering eyesight".
In order not to let Chi Lanyan or Chi Xia notice any clues, the two brothers of the Ji family spent a lot of thought. Of course, Ji Feining contributed money and contacts remotely in the country, while Ji Yanchen went abroad to contribute personally.
Everything is going in the right direction, he shouldn't be depressed.
Chi Qiu raised his head and collected himself, as if to cheer himself up.
Afterwards, he watched the rain getting heavier and heavier, so he opened the door and called Aunt Su: "Aunt Su, help me go to the door to see. If he is still there, give him the umbrella. Remember to tell He, I can't help him with his affairs, and I don't want to help."
