Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last episode, after seeing the reason clearly, Gao Xinci was even more ruthless than Cheng Cheng. Song Chuanyang had a mark on his face and his wheelchair was overturned. He had to take this loss.

His self-proclaimed deep affection is well known to everyone. He has been pestering Lulu all these years, and his business was also supported by the Han family. He has always been single, as if he is waiting for Lulu to break up with Chengcheng. Since he is single and affectionate, it would be even more disgusting if he used contraceptives other than on Lulu.

I turned my face away and pretended not to see it. Song Jie had nothing to say. Xiangyang turned his back and covered Nian Nian's eyes. Cheng Cheng felt even more relieved. If the wound on his hand was not still bleeding, he would have wanted to go over to help. However, no one expected that the first person to stop Xin Ci would be Lulu.

Gao Xinci acted too quickly. Lulu almost didn't notice when he rushed over. His fist just brushed her shoulder. The next second, Lulu hugged her tightly and dragged her back: "Stop, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, Xinci, stop hitting me..."

Seeing her crying so bitterly, Gao Xinci was stunned for a moment, and looked back at me. I was afraid that we were thinking the same thing. After Song Chuanyang took her to live abroad in the previous life, we seldom contacted each other. It was not until she divorced Song Chuanyang that she told us the whole story. When we went to pick her up, she stopped us and told us not to hit people. Even though I secretly hit her later, she only advised me and didn't seem to feel relieved at all.

Don’t look at how proud Lulu is usually, in fact, she lacks a sense of security the most. After all, Han’s parents were really in love and took good care of her for many years before they suddenly broke up and fell apart now. What she wants is a small family that can wrap her up with love. Song Chuanyang is the best at pretending. I’m afraid I can’t stop it in this life. She really has feelings for Song Chuanyang...

I shook my head to signal Gao Xinci to come back. He was obedient and a little more stubborn. He would not let Lulu get within five meters of Song Chuanyang and pulled her back with him.

Song Jie somewhat gave her nephew some face. She stepped forward to support him and slapped him in the face. She told me that it was her fault for not disciplining him well and that she would take any responsibility. She also regarded the beating on Song Chuanyang by Cheng Cheng and Gao Xinci as punishment and that she would give an explanation to Lulu and me later.

I was not involved in the incident, so naturally I had nothing to say. Chengcheng's injury was caused by the fall. I just turned my expectant eyes to Lulu, but she didn't react at all. She might have sobered up a lot. She pushed my hand away, shook her head at Song Jie and said no, then stood up, held on to the wall and went out with her driver.

At that moment I understood that Chengcheng did not give her everything she longed for. Of course it was my fault, so I understood that Chengcheng and I were the ones who betrayed first, and I was no longer qualified to persuade her. She cried not for herself, but because she didn't want to see our illusory relationship again, which was fleeting, but she would still be sad when she lost it.

Disappointment always accumulates bit by bit.

I clasped my hands tightly and could not follow them, so I could only persuade Gao Xinci. I stayed behind to accompany Chengcheng to sew the stitches. We hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I wanted to ask how Nian Nian was doing, but she just sneered and looked me up and down, asking me why I was with Gao Xinci, as Jiang Yinan had only been dead for less than three years.

I had nothing to say. Xiangyang took Nian Nian away and changed a doctor to stay and help Cheng Cheng. After he sent Nian Nian home, he came to see me. The corridor was full of silence. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, I wondered if there was any way to change my life this time, but it seemed too late, even this thought was late.

Then, I don’t know what I was thinking, I called my second uncle. The call was connected so quickly that I couldn’t react. His voice was still hoarse: “Shishi, why aren’t you asleep so late?”

I was stunned. My first thought was to tell him that I wanted to leave. I didn't want to fight anymore. I wanted to go to a place without pressure and freedom. But where can I get freedom? I seemed to have told Gao Xinci and Jiang Yinan a long time ago that I wanted to live on an island so that no one could find me. But when I really wanted to say it, I couldn't open my mouth.

I hesitated for a long time and finally said "it's okay". I wanted to laugh, but my second uncle didn't laugh.

"Oh—are you outside?"

I didn't hide it and just nodded.

"where is it?"

"Hospital."

"are you uncomfortable?"

"No, Chengcheng cut his hand, and I brought him here to get stitches."

"This child can cause a lot of trouble. I understand. You don't have to hide it for him. Just tell me next time if you don't want to talk about it. If you encounter any trouble that can't be solved, tell your brother." The second uncle said the first half with some irritability, but slowly calmed down.

"Okay, I remember."

"Okay, someone will pick you up tonight, right?"

"some."

"Don't drive yourself, go home early."

"I understand, Uncle. You should go to bed early too." After I said that, the other party didn't hang up. I don't know what he was thinking, but he said another sentence in his mind and said it smoothly: "Uncle."

"Ok?"

"sorry."

"what?"

I didn't answer again, but then I felt I was wrong, so I hung up the phone quickly and put the phone back into my pocket with great effort. There was some movement behind me, and I thought it was the patients and their families who couldn't sleep at night or came out to get water, but I didn't expect me to be in a daze for so long. Xiangyang had already returned from sending Nian Nian. He smiled, didn't get straight to the point, but motioned for me to go to the glass flower gallery not far away.

"Let's go out and talk. The hospital has a sad atmosphere from the beginning," he said.

So I followed him. The glass flower gallery was a place built by Wen Yu to soothe the patients. It was very beautiful. The most beautiful flowers of all seasons were planted here in time. It really looked like eternal life, but in fact it was just the hard work of the workers at night. It was a bit inappropriate for Xiangyang to bring me here today, because it happened that they were moving the flowers. The withered branches were "cruelly" dug out, and there were deep pits on the ground. The Hou family greeted their young master warmly when they saw him.

Xiangyang was also a little embarrassed, and turned around to pull me somewhere else: "Let's go, let's go. I don't believe we can't find a place with a good environment! Let's go to Longmen Street to eat fried rice!"

I laughed and pulled him back: "I heard from Aunt Su that you just had a midnight snack, you can eat more, and besides, didn't Grandpa Hou forbid you to eat junk food?"

"Agreeing not to eat on the surface and eating secretly are related to each other. Anyway, when grandpa checks on me, I can eat something in time to check my pulse and correct it." Xiangyang shrugged and scratched his head. The joke was over. He had to pull me to sit on the bench at the door and asked the workers to go out and rest first. He hummed for a long time: "Shishi, I'd better tell you directly. Anyway, I'm not good at coaxing people. I want to say that actually, Lulu and Fu Shuyu's relationship has had problems a long time ago, and it can't be saved. The more effort you put in, the more you are tying them together, and no one will be happy..."

I sighed. Actually, I realized that arranged marriages were never a matter of emotion. I also didn't want to go back to the way things were in my previous life, where Lulu married a scumbag and Chengcheng waited for him all his life. Unfortunately, the reality was not as simple as I imagined.

"In terms of daily life, the two of them are fine, but there are always various accidents that can destroy even the best of relationships. The Han family and the Lu family are enough to make people drink a pot, not to mention Song Chuanyang. When the two of them were having a quarrel, Song Chuanyang took Lulu away alone. In order to cheer her up, he used his own drone fleet to pretend to be shooting stars in the sky, and confessed his love in public. Too many people saw it. Lulu also clearly stated that she was with Fu Shuyu at the time. In order to protect her reputation, Xin Ci, Zhao Kanhai, and I had no choice but to try our best to hide this matter and stop the outside world from talking nonsense."

"Fu Shuyu was also embarrassed, but he didn't want you to know more. They had a good chat and just treated it as if it had passed and nothing had happened. Because you were still pregnant at that time and were also quarreling with Fu Shuyu, so we didn't tell you. Later, you gave birth prematurely, and we all forgot about it in a hurry. After that, I didn't know much. After graduation, everyone was busy, but when they occasionally got together, I could see that their relationship was not as good as before, and they were very silent. I knew that Lulu's family was already quarreling, but I was powerless. Nian Nian's illness recurred, and she always went to see William. I was worried about her..."

"I have contacted Liang Sen before, and he said that Nian Nian was only going to see the relics left by Jiang Yinan. William's condition was that he must leave those things at home. If Nian Nian wanted to see them, she could only go there by herself. Jiang Yinan's paintings and diaries are all on the walls of the room and under the bed, and they really cannot be moved away." I thought about it and said helplessly.

I thought it would be a good thing, but Xiangyang paused, then just smiled with difficulty and nodded.

"In short, let them discuss matters of the heart between themselves. Shishi, it's really not your fault. As for Fu Shuyu's current affairs with the Song family, there's nothing to worry about. Song Fei is developing very well, and Song Jie's industry has been losing money year after year. I think she is planning to rely on her niece to survive. You were the one who smoothed out Song Fei's relationships in Linjiang. You are the boss, and they all have to listen to you." Xiangyang patted my shoulder.

I may be a little better. I can digest the gloom of emotions, and everyone will be happy if the external problems are resolved.

Xiangyang received a call, saying that Chengcheng's wound had been stitched up and she could go home. She would come to change the dressing tomorrow. We both got up and looked at the watch. It was already past one in the morning. I habitually felt a little sorry, but before I could say the word "sorry", Xiangyang looked around, frowned and sighed: "Shishi, you didn't bring a driver?"

I was very confused: "Wasn't Gao Xinci there when I came?"

Xiang Yang pursed his lips: "Then how are you going to go back?"

Me: "Isn't Chengcheng driving?"

Student Xiao Hou: "How can he drive with his hands like that?"

Me: “I’m driving?!”

Xiao Hou held his forehead with his hand and immediately put on an awkward but polite smile: "Forget it, I'll take you there."

I immediately understood and rolled my eyes: "You also think I'm a road killer?"

Student Xiao Hou smiled secretly and lowered his voice: "No, I'm just afraid that if I don't send you off now, I will have to drive a big car with a lot of beeps to pick you up later..."

I said that I suddenly felt like hitting someone, but I also felt that he was right. What should I do? Wait online.

Chengcheng came downstairs to find us. He wanted to apologize for Lulu's matter, but I didn't want to listen. Apologies never work, and we are accomplices. I couldn't bear it, so I just avoided his hand and took two steps back. I didn't have any other emotions: "You go back first, I want to go for a walk by the river."

"It's so late, I'll go with you."

"No need, I sent a message to Zhizhi, he will be here soon, you lost so much blood and need to rest." I lowered my head and smiled, took a deep breath and looked at him comfortingly: "Don't worry, I don't blame you, and I won't persuade you again. Your life is your own, maybe not everything I gave you is right."

Xiang Yang came out from behind and said weakly, "Then I don't have to see you off, right?"

"Yes, Shen Qilin will come over to take Chengcheng back soon, so go home early. Thank you today, good night." I waved my hand.

Xiangyang changed his attitude, looking at me like a monster, and even walked around me: "How strange, he is so gentle, I am not used to it. Well, there is a lot of yin energy here, it must be possessed by someone, Brother Gui, remember to leave by yourself tomorrow morning, otherwise the Taoist priest will come to look for you——"

Before I could think of hitting someone again, he disappeared without a trace. I didn't know what to say to Chengcheng, but luckily he was quiet, so I just took him home. Zhizhi and the others came quickly. After Shen Qilin coaxed Chengcheng away, Zhizhi drove me all the way to the cross-river bridge. There was no one at night, and a cool breeze was blowing from afar. Autumn was approaching in the blink of an eye.

"The child is asleep, Li Xi is watching her. Yunyun just arrived, and she is having some problems with the local climate and has a stomachache. I gave her medicine at night, and she looks much better. I'll change the medicine tomorrow and take her to see Aunt Wensu." Zhizhi followed me and talked intermittently.

I nodded, to every word. In fact, I felt a little guilty enjoying myself. I like going out at night, I like the dark night, I like the quietness, I like the evening breeze. This should be considered as - a brief right to use my freedom. I even let go of the children's affairs for a moment. I didn't want to listen to Zhizhi's nagging too much, and I wanted to be happier. So I climbed up the railing and sat on the edge of the fall. It was very effective. He really stopped talking, and even seemed a little helpless.

"If we stay here... it seems easy to disturb others, and if the height is high enough, the pain of falling on the water is almost the same as falling on the concrete floor, which is very painful." He smiled and stretched out his hand to me: "Come down, is there any other place you want to go?"

"What are you thinking? I'm just sitting here." I sneered. Seeing that he still didn't believe me, I had to help him jump down. Looking at the surging river, I sighed softly: "How dare I? I got the contract today, and I'll start the process tomorrow. It's estimated that it will take another half a year to resolve these issues."

"You were still together so late, Gao Xinci...what did he say to you? What did he exchange for the contract?" Zhizhite asked curiously.

I thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "Use, many, many mistakes, use this." I turned around and showed him the ring on my right hand.

He was stunned for a long time and nodded: "Will you get married?"

"Didn't I just say that I have made many, many mistakes, and I made one today. I don't know when it will be a heavy blow to me. But I can't regret it now, and neither can he. Chengcheng and Lulu..." I turned my back and held the railing with my hands. It was so cold.

"Is it wrong too?" Zhizhi suddenly pointed at me. I didn't understand what he meant. He also knew to be more specific and tapped the right side of my neck: "Here..."

That was a kiss mark left by Gao Xinci. I felt embarrassed, but if I covered it with my hand, I felt like I was trying to cover it up, so I let it go and just focused on watching the beautiful scenery in the distance.

But he hugged me from behind again.

He took my hand from the railing, held it in his hand, placed it in front of my lower abdomen, and leaned his cheek against my hair.

He asked me, “Why can’t I be a mistake?”

I closed my eyes and tried my best to break free, but I couldn't. My tears fell and were blown into my mouth by the wind. They tasted salty.

"Feng Shizhi, I have forgotten many things."

He was very persistent: "Can you think of it in the dead of night?"

I was completely devastated. I didn’t know whether I was thinking or saying it, or whether I really expressed it. I responded in the desolation: “No. Because I’m really tired.”
