"Let's go, if we don't go back, Song Ni's bedroom will be closed."
Apple wiped away tears and stood up from the ground, reluctantly smiled at Xu Tingsheng, turned his head and walked forward, Xu Tingsheng followed with an umbrella.
The umbrella is still slanted, Apple looked up and said:
"You've always been like this right?"
Xu Tingsheng was a little dazed: "Huh?"
Apple pointed to the umbrella above his head and said, "That's the way you hold an umbrella for me, and it's the same way you hold an umbrella for others, right?"
Xu Tingsheng thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was really his habit. No matter who was on the other side of the umbrella, he kept this habit of leaning the umbrella towards the other person, leaving half of his shoulder in the rain and snow.
If he doesn't speak, Apple will take him as the default, she said:
"It will be very hard for you, and you will always want to take care of everyone... In fact, you don't need to be like this, and you are not a superman. Besides, what should you do if you get used to it? What if you misunderstand?"
As Apple said, he reached out and gently brushed the snowflakes off Xu Tingsheng's hair and shoulders.
"I think I may be the one who misunderstood, I thought I would always have such an umbrella, and I could get closer and closer under the umbrella... You see, I misunderstood, got used to it, and now I am pushed away by others, how pitiful. "
Apple seldom speaks so seriously. What she said, Xu Tingsheng understands, sometimes the love that should not be given and cannot continue to be given will eventually become hurt.
He wanted to say, in fact, I can always hold an umbrella for you like this and do a lot for you.
Apple ran out from under the umbrella, and stretched out his hand to signal Xu Tingsheng not to follow.
"I don't want it anymore. I don't want you to stand far away and give me a slanted umbrella. I really don't want it. Xu Tingsheng, I'd rather stand in the snow... Actually, if two people get close enough, one umbrella is enough Isn't it? No one has to stand in the rain and snow."
In fact, if two people are close enough, an umbrella is enough, isn't it? Nobody has to stand in the rain or snow. There are couples embracing each other passing by, they are under the same umbrella, relying on each other, warm and sweet.
Xu Tingsheng could understand, but he didn't move, he couldn't lean over and hug the girl standing in the heavy snow in front of him, who had walked through the wind and snow for a lifetime under the same umbrella, that position belonged to another person.
At this moment, everything is terrible.
Apple smiled wryly and said, "Xu Tingsheng, I've made up my mind that only by opening an umbrella myself can I truly walk by your side.
Rather than you giving me a slanted umbrella from a distance, why don't I hold an umbrella and walk side by side with you...
In this way, if one day you lose your umbrella and you need an umbrella...you still have me, and I still have the umbrella. "
Xu Tingsheng sent Apple to the bedroom downstairs, said goodbye, turned and left.
Apple shouted from behind: "Xu Tingsheng."
Xu Tingsheng turned around, looked at Apple, saw her hesitant eyes, and her expression that hesitated to speak.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Xu Tingsheng said.
Apple shook his head, then nodded again: "Yeah."
"Very difficult?"
Apple hesitated for a while and said: "Fu Cheng gave me an administrator position on the reincarnation station, so I was the one who was looking for it there recently... Then, a brokerage company approached me. At that time, I thought that since you guys didn't want to show up , I refused..."
Xu Tingsheng could probably guess what Apple meant, she wanted to open her own umbrella, it was not easy... She was choosing her path.
Xu Tingsheng already knew what she was going to say next, and it would be a lie to say that there was no disappointment or surprise...
However, he would.
Just like the show host asked Chen Sheng: "Do you like Liu Ruoying?" Chen Sheng said directly: "Of course I like her, otherwise why would I do so many things for her."
Sometimes men are like this, can't be with her, but are willing to do more for her.
He loves her. Chen Sheng is, and so is Xu Tingsheng.
Xu Tingsheng smiled warmly, and nodded for Apple to continue.
"I want to try it," Apple said.
"Okay." Xu Tingsheng stroked the top of her head, wiped off a few snowflakes and said, "When you finish talking, tell me, and I'll ask Fu Cheng to get you a letter of authorization, allowing you to cover and perform commercial performances through those songs." As for the complete copyright, because we still have a commercial contract, it may not be possible to transfer it to your brokerage company immediately... "
"I know."
"In addition, I will ask Fu Cheng to post a statement on the small website tomorrow, saying that as a member of Samsara, you will officially debut on behalf of Samsara soon... This way the expectations will be higher, and it will be easier for you to talk to the agency .”
Apple looked up at Xu Tingsheng, her eyes gleamed with water. At this moment, she knew how kind and distressed the man in front of her was to her... But she couldn't back down. It was for him that she had to take this step. Go, go open your own umbrella.
Apple didn't speak, Xu Tingsheng continued:
"I don't know anything about the situation in that circle, but I heard it's quite complicated. You have to protect yourself... If you encounter difficulties, no matter how big they are, remember to tell me.
I will always be there and my umbrella will grow bigger and bigger...
Don't be afraid, Xu Tingsheng is standing behind you. In fact, Xu Tingsheng is really a superman... No matter how high or far you fly, I can cover you. "
Xu Tingsheng said the last sentence in a joking tone, but Apple didn't laugh.
"Sorry," Apple said.
…
After leaving Apple, Xu Tingsheng didn't go back to the dormitory, but went to the river bank residence, turned off his phone, and lay on the bed alone.
Apple finally said "sorry".
However, Xu Tingsheng didn't blame her at all, he didn't blame her at all, the two of them approached at first, Apple came here with a utilitarian purpose, this time...she wanted more, but Xu Tingsheng didn't have the slightest doubt.
He believed in Apple, and believed that if she could choose, she would definitely choose Xu Tingsheng. Now she chooses to fly alone, just to open her own umbrella and walk side by side with Xu Tingsheng.
However, loss is still unavoidable. Xu Tingsheng has never weighed one thing, how much Apple is in his heart, but when she made a choice, when she turned around and left...
Xu Tingsheng found that his heart was empty.
When he woke up the next day, Xu Tingsheng turned on his phone.
Apple's text message: I'm leaving, Xu Tingsheng, dear.
Xu Tingsheng did not reply.
He said a lot before, saying that he was always there, that he would have a big umbrella, but he actually knew that when he turned around, the two of them might drift away.
This seems to be exactly what he originally wanted, but now, it makes his heart ache.
Lao Wai and Li Linlin's missed calls, and Xu Tingsheng's call back, are all good news. The number of registered parents on the platform has grown to more than 400 overnight. Correspondingly, the number of tutors for college students has also continued to increase.
The two stayed up all night to review the information.
Xu Tingsheng, who was supposed to be very happy, couldn't be happy at all.
At noon, Huang Yaming and Fu Cheng brought lunch to the river bank residence.
Xu Tingsheng told them about Apple, including his current mood.
They said, "It deserves it."
