The president kidnapped the general
38. More Painful Things
However, how can I get better at forcing others to lie in this way?
Xia Zicheng stood silently in front of the rockery, at this moment he didn't know what to do.
"Xiao Cheng," Xia Yan came to him without knowing why, and with the slight light, Xia Zicheng could clearly see the anxiety and confusion in his eyes, "Are you angry?"
"Brother, are you kidding me?" Xia Zicheng sneered, and looked straight at Xia Qiang, "You already know that, don't you?"
Xia Qian was a little flustered, "Xiao Cheng, what are you talking about, what should I know, why should I play you? Although I'm keeping this from you, it's my fault..."
"You don't know that the situation of Jenny's family is a bit complicated. She needs me as a boyfriend. As her friend, it is my duty to help you...As for not telling you, I just think that the less people know about it, the better."
"Is that so?" Xia Zicheng stopped talking when she saw Xia Qiang
"Yeah, that's all. In short, don't let others know about it."
Xia Zicheng saw that Xia Yan still planned to keep concealing it, so he didn't expose it.He approached Xia Yan, "Brother...Actually, as long as you say something, I will walk away. I am Xia Zicheng, I am indomitable, I have emotions and desires, and I have things I like and people I like... But, I don't have to get it. "
"..."
"So, brother... as long as you say it, you don't need to cheat."
"Zicheng... What are you talking about?" Xia Yan seemed to not understand at all,
Xia Zicheng smiled in great disappointment, "You really don't understand what I'm talking about? Forget it, brother, I'm tired. I'm going back to rest."
He stopped looking at Xia Qiang and left far away.
He was disappointed, but he didn't know what to be disappointed about.Or, what should he expect from Xia Yan?Can he still count on the day when Xia Qiang said to his own brother, love?
This knot, from the very beginning, was doomed to be impossible to untie.What else could he hope for?
In the next few days, although the two of them still seemed to be okay, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Xia Zicheng was in a bad mood, and there seemed to be a gap between them.He didn't even sit next to him when eating, but sat beside Chi Yang.
But this small anomaly didn't seem to cause any trouble, because everyone was busy with Xia Qian and Jenny's engagement banquet in the next few days.
The engagement banquet officially started. Xia Zicheng stood below, watching Xia Qian walk in the center of the stage step by step with the beautiful Jenny on his arm. He was very right.But, alas, it's all fake.
Xia Zicheng didn't know what she was thinking, maybe, what kind of woman would stand by Xia Qiang's side in the future.Or maybe you are thinking, why are Xia Qiang and Jenny so fake...
After the two had finished speaking on the stage, the banquet began.The second uncle and the second aunt also rushed back from abroad, Xia Qian and the Jian family gathered together happily and talked about something
.Everyone was smiling warmly, and the atmosphere was very festive and harmonious... If Xia Zicheng didn't know the truth of this matter, he would really feel that the atmosphere was happy and harmonious.But looking at it now, I only feel that the tide is surging, which is a bit ironic.
"What's wrong with you, have you been in a bad mood for the past few days?" Chi Yang walked to him with snacks, Xia Zicheng certainly wouldn't refuse the food.
"Argued with your brother?" Chi Yang asked with a smile
"No, I'm just a little tired," Xia Zicheng retorted
"Do you know what you look like in the eyes of outsiders?"
"What?" Xia Zicheng stuffed a piece of biscuit into his mouth and asked
"Like a child who is reluctant to let his brother marry a wife and is throwing a temper." Chi Yang seemed to be joking, but his face was serious
"How could it be?" Xia Zicheng smiled wryly.
"I still said no, I don't know how resentful you looked at Xia Qian just now."
"I really don't have that, I just think the atmosphere in this family is a bit weird." Xia Zicheng pointed to the still happy Jian family crowd
I thought I would be disgusted, but I didn't expect Chi Yang to feel the same way. "In fact, every big family has a dark side and their helplessness. You have experienced it yourself, so you should understand it?"
"Huh?" Xia Zicheng nodded after being slightly puzzled. What Chi Yang said was probably what the real Xia Zicheng had experienced.Although he didn't know what it was, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much better.
"Just call you, you go, I'll blow some air." Xia Zicheng walked away without waiting for Chi Yang to speak.
The head-on cold wind blew away the chest tightness that was infected indoors.
It turns out that no matter what era, people still use, deceive, and intrigue for selfish desires.He thought that he had come to a really clean place, but he didn't, it was no different from the place where he was in his previous life... It's just that Xia Qiang showed him too little, and all he saw was beauty.
But it's not.
This world, as long as there are people, can never be truly clean.
For some reason, he suddenly missed that place.There, at least he can live in seclusion in the mountains, but in this strange world, he can't go anywhere except staying by Xia Qiang's side and accepting his protection.
After the banquet, everyone returned to Jane's house.
Xia Qiang and Xia Zicheng were going back to City B the next day, but because of this engagement, Mrs. Jane entrusted Jenny with a heavy responsibility, so they had to stay in City S for the time being.
"Why are you here? Grandpa was still looking for you everywhere just now?" Xia Zicheng was in the courtyard, and he didn't expect that the person who would talk to him would be Jian Jian.
"Well, let's get some air here"
"Yeah." After a short pause, he said, "Xia Qiang is engaged. You will probably move out of his house this time when you go back, right? Go back to your own house?"
After reminding him like this, Xia Zicheng really had an idea, after all, he really didn't know how to face Xia Yan now.Maybe it's good to live alone for a while, right?
Xia Zicheng nodded, "Well, probably."
Seeing this, Jian Jian seemed a little happy, "If you find a black crystal at home, don't forget to contact me. If possible, I hope you can sell it to me, no matter how much money it is."
"Are you so sure that the crystal is in my hand? I definitely don't have the impression." Xia Zicheng wondered
Simply laughing, "No, I'm not afraid of [-], just in case."
Xia Zicheng also smiled, "It seems that you really like it, okay, if I see it, I will definitely contact you. Okay?"
Jian Jian nodded in satisfaction, "Go back, it's getting cold. Grandpa is looking for you too."
Xia Zicheng nodded, and walked back with Jian Jian.
The inevitable night Xia Zicheng was sitting on the bed in a daze. After a knock on the door, the door opened slightly, and Jenny poked her head in. "Zicheng, can we talk?"
Xia Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.Jenny walked in, closed the door, and stood in front of Xia Zicheng for a long time, but didn't know how to speak.
"Sister Zhen, don't you have something to say? Say it," Xia Zicheng urged
Sitting next to Xia Zicheng, Jenny sighed as if death was at home, "Although Aji won't let me say it, I think it's better for me to explain some things. After all, I'm a party involved and a bystander."
Seeing that Xia Zicheng hadn't moved, Jenny continued, "First of all, I asked him to pretend to be my boyfriend...Although I didn't expect him to agree... Anyway, I need a boyfriend like Ah Xing. My grandpa trusted me before I could get to the heart of the company...it is very important to me, not just a matter of profit, but about my deceased parents...."
"You don't need to be too clear about this kind of thing. Maybe Aji is hiding it from you. On the one hand, he hopes that you will not come into contact with the darkness of this world... But, it is actually very helpless to say it. No matter what he does, it is impossible for him to truly Do this. Actually, you understand a lot of things, right?"
Xia Zicheng nodded, "I have a faint feeling."
"Yeah, actually there's no need to be overprotective like this. However, he is very paranoid. Of course, as for him agreeing to my request... there is your reason, and you probably guessed it. Or, this is you Why are you angry?"
Xia Zicheng looked at Jenny in surprise, "You, know? He told you?"
Jenny shook her head, "He didn't say anything, but there are many things that don't need to be said, right? It's been so long, and you still don't understand who Xia Qian's heart is on?"
Xia Zicheng became more and more surprised, even her breathing became heavy, "You mean, him?"
Seeing Jenny nodding, Xia Zicheng shook her head repeatedly, "How is that possible. He agreed to you just to make me give up, didn't he?"
Jenny shook her head again, "It's true that he's running away...but how do you know that he's running away from you, not himself?"
"You mean, our identities?" Xia Zicheng finally understood what Jenny meant.
Jenny nodded, "After all, you are brothers... Maybe it's not just that, you lost your memory, so you don't remember many things in the past. Of course, you don't need to remember those things again. In short, Aji He has a heart knot. Not only about your 'brother' status, but more importantly, he has a heart knot about love."
"Just like you can't expect a person who has been sick for more than ten years to recover overnight, you can't expect Ah Jun's knot in his heart to be untied overnight. Therefore, you can't blame him. Wait slowly, or just give up. I can see that compared to you, Aji is the one who can't afford to hurt you."
"I won't hurt him," Xia Zicheng said
"Many things in this world are simply uncertain. Of course, if you think so, just try to do it. He is not in a good state recently, so don't blame him."
Seeing that Xia Zicheng was silent, Jenny said again, "I said everything I should say, and I said some things I shouldn't say about mine... Anyway, it's up to you. I'm going to bed, go to bed early, good night"
Xia Zicheng nodded.
Jenny walked out of the room, leaving only the room full of emptiness.
It turned out that that person had the same thoughts as me?In fact, if you think about it carefully, many things have already been figured out, haven't you... Such a result is really unimaginable.
But Xia Zicheng didn't feel happy, but felt some suffocating distress.
For those so-called knots... wait?Maybe it will be an endless wait.What is before him is not only Xia Qiang's so-called unresolved heart knot, but also the bondage of secular morality and ethics.
Yes, they obviously love each other, but they may never be able to hold hands.
Xia Zicheng stood silently in front of the rockery, at this moment he didn't know what to do.
"Xiao Cheng," Xia Yan came to him without knowing why, and with the slight light, Xia Zicheng could clearly see the anxiety and confusion in his eyes, "Are you angry?"
"Brother, are you kidding me?" Xia Zicheng sneered, and looked straight at Xia Qiang, "You already know that, don't you?"
