[Rebirth to the Future] Diplomacy

Rong Pei paused, took out the key from his pocket and opened the door.

Gao Jingting: "..."

Rong Pei shook the key in his hand, shrugged and said, "You insisted on giving it to me."

Rong Pei's peaceful attitude made Gao Jingting calm down slightly.

Rong Pei closed the door, sat in front of Gao Jingting and looked at him: "Didn't you already know that Liszt would have a backup? Why did you have such a big reaction?"

Gao Jingting hesitated.

The blow came too suddenly.

Just when he thought he was infinitely stronger than a "fool" and refused to admit that he was a "fool", Liszt made such a move—he was completely unprepared.

He was afraid that he would become worse than a "fool", fear, fear... the panic he had had during the "fool" period occupied his heart, and he knew best how much a "fool" was afraid of losing Rong Pei, because that was The thing that occupies the largest position in his memory is so clear that he wants to get rid of it, so as to make himself stronger.

How would he confess this thought to Rong Pei?

He told Rong Pei that he thought he was his biggest weakness, and wanted to ruthlessly throw him away; but after meeting him, the desire deep in his heart slowly gained the upper hand, so he couldn't wait to show him his strength one side?

Just thinking of Rong Pei laughing at him and looking at him like a monster, Gao Jingting felt his chest was about to explode.

He felt a terrible pain in his heart, and even regretted that he insisted on treatment, even though he knew that Liszt's purpose was not pure, even though Rong Pei didn't show any support for it.

Gao Jingting's gaze was firmly fixed on Rong Pei, and countless crazy thoughts were churning in his mind: such as restraining Rong Pei and arresting him and starting over where no one knew them, such as making the marriage contract public and forcing Rong Pei to Because public opinion cannot leave oneself, for example...

But none of the thoughts could ease the gloom and pain in his heart, but it made him more and more unbearable.

Gao Jingting hugged Rong Pei, pushed him heavily on the back of the chair, buried his face in Rong Pei's neck, and hugged him crazily.

As if afraid that if you let go, you will lose the person in your arms forever.

Rong Pei lowered his head and kissed his hair, without any panic in his tone: "Let's go back to Hong Kong."

Gao Jingting suddenly raised his head, stared into Rong Pei's eyes, his eyes were red: "It's the same as after becoming a fool, hiding in Yunlaigang to be a coward..."

Rong Pei saw the long-lost red eye, smiled slightly, lowered his head and kissed his eyes lightly: "After you go back, use Yunlai Hong Kong TV to announce to the public that you have received treatment."

Gao Jingting's heart skipped a beat.

If you do this, if you do this—then you can't hide it anymore.He had to face those weird eyes who looked at him like a monster, and he had to accept doubts from all sides—he might even be forced to break off the engagement with Rong Pei because of this problem!

Break up the engagement?

Could this be Rong Pei's purpose?

Let him become a monster in everyone's eyes, let others judge him to be insane, and get rid of their engagement?

Gao Jingting felt that the anger in his heart was about to overwhelm him, he grabbed Rong Pei's wrist tightly, and trapped Rong Pei even tighter: "How can I let you get what you want!"

Rong Pei knew that that damned "magnification effect" had come out again.

Seeing Gao Jingting's expression that was about to lose control, he knew that he had to be more patient to appease him, so even though his wrist bones were about to be crushed, he didn't struggle.

Rong Pei put an extremely gentle kiss on Gao Jingting's lips, and then said: "Be sensible, Gao Jingting."

Hearing his deliberately slow tone, Gao Jingting's breathing finally calmed down.

Rong Pei continued: "Things are not that bad. In fact, you haven't become a monster, have you? You still have normal people's feelings, you still have normal people's desires, everything about you is no different from normal people, It’s just that sometimes you will magnify your hurt feelings a lot and cause your emotions to lose control. That doesn’t have much impact on you. You just need to prove this to everyone. As long as you operate well, you can win Some sympathy, a boost to the approval rating."

Gao Jingting was stunned.

The restlessness in his heart was slowly extinguished by Rong Pei.

He looked at Rong Pei as if waking up from a dream, and was speechless for a moment.

While he was in a daze, Rong Pei easily withdrew his hand and raised it to pat Gao Jingting's head: "Do as I say, there will be no problem. If you are afraid that I will make a fuss about this matter, you can ask Gao Jingting for help." Uncle takes back the marriage certificate, if I really plotted against you, you can take it out and make it public—how about it?"

Gao Jingting trembled all over.

Rong Pei's words made Gao Jingting realize how thoroughly Rong Pei sees things, how clearly Rong Pei sees every suspicion that he thinks into dirty and despicable things - not only that, but Rong Pei also offered him Injure yourself with a weapon.

It's as if he never gets hurt.

A familiar pain welled up in Gao Jingting's heart. It was very similar to the regret that haunted the "fool" before every time he did something excessive, but it was deeper and deeper than that regret.

He is sober, he is not a "fool"!

——But what he did was more hateful and ridiculous than a "fool"!

Gao Jingting's arms tightened slightly, wrapping around Rong Pei's back: "What should I do? Ah Pei, you tell me what I should do, and I will do everything. I will obey your orders... Ah Pei, Ah Pei."

Rong Pei's heart softened at the familiar and dependent tone.

He said: "Go back to Yunlaigang together, I will arrange it."

Gao Jingting paused, then nodded slowly.

Rong Pei and Gao Jingting left the capital the next day.

Rong Pei did not buy a ticket to return directly to Yunlaigang, but had an extra transfer station: Emerald Bay.

As one of the few first-tier cities in the empire, the bustling Emerald Bay is simply dazzling.It has nearly one hundred of the most famous old jewelry stores in China, and its business scope includes gold, silver, jadeite, pearls and jade, etc. These luxury goods make the city look bright.

Moreover, this big city known as the City of Gold is a holy place for couples to propose marriages. The custom-made pair of rings here represents steadfast, thick, and indelible affection.

Rong Pei's eyes were not attracted by the bustling scene along the way, his destination was very clear, he led Gao Jingting to an old shop hidden among the deep alleys.

An old man was sitting behind the counter burying his head in polishing something. When he heard someone coming in, he raised his head, pushed his glasses with a single lens, took a look, and said, "Here you are? It will be ready soon. Really, place an order Are you trying to ruin my brand in such a hurry? If I hadn’t thought about making a pair for you a long time ago, I really wouldn’t have accepted your airborne order.”

Rong Pei smiled apologetically.

The old man glanced at Gao Jingting beside him, and said, "Hey, he's quite big. Take out your hand, and I'll see if there is any deviation in size."

Gao Jingting had been guessing why Rong Pei brought him here all the way, and now he finally found out: Rong Pei made an engagement ring in this store!

A burst of ecstasy overflowed in his heart, and he held out his hand to the old man.

The old man looked at it a few times, and then buried himself in perfecting the pair of rings in his hand.

Rong Pei waited quietly.

Gao Jingting didn't say a word, he quietly looked at Rong Pei's profile, his heart was filled with indescribable emotion.

He felt that his heart was full of warmth, even though he looked so much like the "fool" who would be very happy as long as Rong Pei praised him, he didn't care anymore.

The two of them stood quietly until dusk, and the old man finally stood up, stringed a pair of rings of almost the same size and handed them to Rong Pei.

Rong Pei put away the ring, recalling Gao Jingting's expression of suppressing joy just now, he felt a little dazed.

His rationality clearly told him that Gao Jingting's current dependence on him was only temporary, and after the trough period, Gao Jingting would still abandon this dependence for various reasons.

He is well aware of this state.

Because he has experienced it himself.

He has experienced all of these, falling into the abyss of pain because he couldn't get what he wanted, and letting the desire in his heart make him look hideous and cold-blooded.

Those ugly memories are as vivid as if they just happened.

Obviously there are so many people who are willing to help me, and there are so many people who are willing to treat me well, but I still can't break free from the cage of negative emotions when I wake up, and I feel that I am still alone.

So it's not that you don't want to trust others, it's that you can't.

It's not that you don't want to depend on others, but that you can't.

Rong Pei looked at the pair of rings in his hands, and his determination to help Gao Jingting out of the predicament suddenly became stronger than ever.

Even if he is no longer the fool who believes in him and listens to him in everything, at least he can't become the war machine in the "Black Project" that has lost all emotion.

Rong Pei smiled and said goodbye to the old man: "Thank you, Mr. He."

The old man waved his hand at him, signaling that he didn't need to say thanks, just leave quickly.

Rong Pei called Gao Jingting to leave, and the two walked into the sunset side by side, their shadows getting longer and longer, slowly joining together.

That night Rong Pei and Gao Jingting got on the train back to Yunlai Port.

It was a bit late for them to buy tickets, and the sleeping berths were sold out, so they could only ask for a ticket for a four-person single room.

After being comforted by Rong Pei, Gao Jingting was completely relaxed, and soon fell asleep after getting in the car, leaning on Rong Pei's shoulder and immersed in a wonderful dreamland.

Rong Pei turned off the light in the private room, opened his eyes and quietly looked at the darkness in front of him for a while, closed his eyes and began to think about what he was going to do next.

Although Gao Jingting's painful struggle reminded him of those unpleasant feelings, the out-of-control emotions will not occupy his heart permanently. Unconditional support, these are enough to dispel the haze in his heart.

As long as you give him a little light, he can see the future clearly through it.

So he never expects others to give him a whole piece of light.

Rong Pei suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the brand new pair of rings in his hand, under the darkness outside the window, it was shining faintly.

He stretched out his fingers to caress the body of the ring, sat in the darkness and sighed, "This has taken Mr. Hao a lot of thought... I hope it will work."
