There was silence between the two for a long time, and the atmosphere remained stalemate. Fan Jiarong did not respond, and Xie Xinghe remained motionless in this posture. Whether he was forgiving or not, he seemed determined to let Fan Jiarong give it a try. Answer, completely ignoring the curious looks from other customers in the store.

Compared to Xie Xinghe's calmness, Fan Jiarong was much more uncomfortable. He looked left and right, and found that many people were looking at them. He immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles: "Enough, Xie Xinghe."

Only then did Xie Xinghe raise his head, looking at the other person with anticipation in his eyes.

Seeing Xie Xinghe's focused and expectant expression, Fan Jiarong paused for a moment, somewhat unbearable, but in the end, he still rejected Xie Xinghe's request.

Fan Jiarong stood up: "I can't do it." After finishing speaking, he turned and left without looking back.

He accompanied Zhou Luoluo through the trough period when they just broke up, and also saw his friend in such a bad state, his dissatisfaction with Xie Xinghe could not be easily dispelled with a few words.

Xie Xinghe looked at Fan Jiarong's leaving back, he had expected Fan Jiarong's answer in his heart, but when he was really rejected, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed about it, sighed, and drooped his shoulders until the other person's figure disappeared completely In the field of vision, he sat back in his seat.

Xie Xinghe lowered his head and thought, he couldn't see or contact Zhou Luoluo at the moment, he finally asked Fan Jiarong out, but he didn't know the past events back then, for a while, Xie Xinghe didn't know what to do.

After sitting in the store for a while, Xie Xinghe got up and left, walking alone on the street, thinking about things related to Zhou Luoluo in his mind.

A gust of wind blew by, blowing off the leaves, and the leaves slowly fell and scattered all over the ground.Xie Xinghe was wearing a thin coat, his body trembled when he felt the coldness, only then did he come back to his senses, and found that he had walked away for a long time without thinking.

By coincidence, Xie Xinghe drove downstairs to Zhou Luoluo's rental house again, but this time, he didn't contact Zhou Luoluo as urgently as before, and just stood quietly downstairs for a long time.

Looking at the fallen leaves on the ground, Xie Xinghe realized later that time had passed so quickly. He and Zhou Luoluo met in early spring and fell in love in midsummer, but now in late autumn, they have become strangers.

Rain began to fall from the sky, and it scattered all over the ground. Along with the autumn wind, gusts of coldness rushed over. Xie Xinghe felt his hands and feet were cold, and exhaled slowly. He stomped his feet, looked at the time, and was just about to turn around. After leaving, I saw a familiar figure walking towards the gate of the community.

Xie Xinghe was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't help feeling surprised and happy after that.

Zhou Luoluo was holding an umbrella, carrying a small bag, and carrying a gift bag in his hand.He just rushed back from the rehabilitation center, and he wanted to apologize to Chu Ming, but he didn't think Chu Ming would refuse to accept the gift.

Soon, he found a man standing downstairs in the unit. After seeing the man's appearance clearly, his depressed mood sank a bit.

Zhou Luoluo frowned slightly, then his expression was indifferent, pretending he didn't see anything, he walked past Xie Xinghe quickly.

He thought that Xie Xinghe would come up to pester him as usual, and he was even mentally prepared to be pestered.It was just unexpected that Xie Xinghe didn't move this time, but just stood there quietly.

Seeing this, Zhou Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief after being surprised, then stepped up and walked into the unit building, his figure gradually disappeared in the corridor.

Standing downstairs, Xie Xinghe still kept his original posture motionless. Seeing Zhou Luoluo leave, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and bitterness in his throat. He opened his mouth, but still silently let Zhou Luoluo leave. Luoluo left.

After a while, Xie Xinghe left slowly.

Fan Jiarong couldn't go this way, so Xie Xinghe had to find another way. He kept thinking, and suddenly, a person appeared in his mind.

Xie Xinghe hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give it a try.

After finding out the other party's work address and preparing to make an apology, Xie Xinghe ran to the work place to wait for someone because he was stuck on time the next day.

After Chu Ming got off work, he just walked out of the hall when he saw a tall and straight man standing at the door, carrying bags in his hands.

He was wondering when he saw the other party turned his head and looked over.

A familiar face appeared in front of Chu Ming.

Xie Xinghe soon saw Chu Ming, he let out a breath, and then walked forward quickly.

"Mr. Chu."

Chu Ming took a step back and looked at Xie Xinghe warily.

"I want to talk to you."

Chu Ming remained calm: "I think Mr. Xie and I should have nothing to say."

Hearing this answer, Xie Xinghe shook the bag, then handed the apology in front of Chu Ming, bent down: "I'm really sorry for what I did before. I came here today to sincerely want to tell you Issues."

Chu Ming was taken aback by his sudden action, and he remained motionless. Afterwards, he hesitated and said, "...Mr. Xie, what are you doing?"

Xie Xinghe: "I apologize to you."

There were people coming and going around, Chu Ming's face became hot, and he quickly pulled Xie Xinghe: "Get up first, let's go out and talk about anything!"

Xie Xinghe straightened up, still holding the apology, and repeated: "I'm sorry."

Chu Ming felt that his face was hot. He had never been so ashamed in his life. He gritted his teeth and had to accept the gift: "Are you apologizing or threatening?"

"Xie Xinghe, are you sick?"

Seeing that he accepted the compensation, Xie Xinghe heaved a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and repeated: "Sorry, I really want to apologize."

Chu Ming rolled his eyes and walked outside.

Seeing this, Xie Xinghe hurriedly followed.

While walking, Chu Ming said impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just make a long story short, and you don't need to find a special place to talk."

"I want to talk to you about Luoluo." Xie Xinghe said, "About his family, and his blind date."

Chu Ming stopped and turned around. He squinted his eyes and looked at Xie Xinghe.

Seeing Xie Xinghe's serious face, Chu Ming asked, "How do you know these things?"

"I went to Zhou Luoluo's hometown and chatted with his neighbor back then. His mother told me about the blind date." Xie Xinghe explained.

Chu Ming's expression changed: "Have you met his mother?"

Xie Xinghe nodded: "Just chatted briefly."

Chu Ming glanced at Xie Xinghe, changed his words and said, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."

Afterwards, the two found a quiet and remote tea room.

Chu Ming sat down and went straight to the point: "What did you talk about with Luoluo's mother?"

Xie Xinghe recalled: "She wanted me to help contact Luoluo, and she said some cruel things." He paused: "Then she talked about Luoluo going back to go on a blind date with the girl a while ago."

Chu Ming clenched his teacup tightly, and his tone was a little nervous: "You didn't help her, did you?"

Xie Xinghe shook his head: "No, she doesn't know the relationship between me and Luoluo either."

Hearing his words, Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is it true that Luoluo... went on a blind date?" Xie Xinghe paused, apparently not believing that this was something Zhou Luoluo would do.

Sure enough, Chu Ming shook his head and denied: "He was tricked back by his mother. At that time, he hadn't broken up with Cong Huiyue, so he didn't know that his mother was trying to trick him into going back and marrying a fool. He didn't find out until he went back. The price has already been negotiated with that family, and the only thing left is Zhou Luoluo, the 'groom-to-be'."

Hearing this, Xie Xinghe's heart tightened, and he also understood the meaning of Fan Jiarong's phrase "Exchange Zhou Luoluo for money".

"When did this happen?" he asked.

Chu Ming thought about it for a while. At that time, he and Zhou Luoluo were not that close. It was only through Fan Jiarong's eloquence that he learned about it: "It was a while ago."

Suddenly, Chu Ming looked up at Xie Xinghe: "This happened a few days after Zhou Luoluo gave you the ring."

Xie Xinghe recalled Zhou Luoluo's anomaly during that time, and recalled the dispute between them because of the ring, his heart sank suddenly.What I did back then was undoubtedly another sharp sword piercing Zhou Luoluo's heart, that's why Zhou Luoluo broke down and sad like that.

Xie Xinghe spoke with a hoarse voice: "I don't know...he never mentioned it in front of me..."

He muttered: "Why didn't he tell me..."

"How could he tell you?" Chu Ming interrupted Xie Xinghe: "Zhou Luoluo likes you so much, and only shows his good side in front of you, so how could he tell you such a thing, let alone let you know Such a miserable past."

"His family, what is going on..." Xie Xinghe asked hoarsely.

Looking at Xie Xinghe who was a little lost, Chu Ming gradually said: "I only know part of it..."

Zhou Luoluo was born in a very special family and was not loved by his parents. Instead, his existence became a tool for his parents to vent their emotions.

Zhou Lai was forced to be with Cong Huiyue just to conform to the concept of the older generation, or Zhou Lai never had feelings for Cong Huiyue.

He knew very early that he was gay and could only have sexual desires for men, but in that era, homosexuality was still a disease, and no one could accept a sick person, so Zhou Lai was forced by his parents to hold a banquet with Cong Huiyue, He was also drugged with alcohol and gave birth to a son from Huiyue.

When Zhou Luoluo was born, Zhou Lai was 19 years old.

He hated everything around him, including his parents, and the little Zhou Luoluo, but he couldn't resist his parents, so he could only put all his resentment on the young children.

Until a few years later, Zhou Lai's parents died of illness one after another, and no one could restrain Zhou Lai anymore, so he began to completely let himself go.

Cong Huiyue turned a blind eye to this, pretending not to know what Zhou Lai did.

It wasn't until Zhou Luoluo broke through his father's cheating and broke this hypocrisy.

Zhou Lai's lover ran away, and Zhou Luoluo hid in the corner with a cut tongue, and Cong Huiyue fought with Zhou Lai hysterically.

A farce came to an end, and the family fell apart. Zhou Lai abandoned his wife and son, and left without looking back, leaving Cong Huiyue and Zhou Luoluo to linger.

"After being cut by his father, Zhou Luoluo couldn't speak anymore." Chu Ming said, "He didn't recover until recently."

Xie Xinghe listened to Chu Ming talk about the past, he didn't say a word, his inner emotions were surging, his eyes gradually turned red.

"That's all I know."

Xie Xinghe clenched his hands, then raised his hands to cover his face.

After a while, he spoke: "Thank you for telling me this."

Hearing his muffled voice, Chu Ming was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything.

The two were silent.

When the tea was cold, Xie Xinghe calmed down. He wiped his face, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and said to Chu Ming, "It's getting late, should I send Mr. Xie back?"

Chu Ming glanced at him: "I don't need you to send it. I will accept your apology, but it only represents me." After speaking, he got up and left.

"Okay." Xie Xinghe said softly.

He didn't leave in a hurry, and sat alone in the private room for a long time, his heart was filled with complicated emotions, he felt distressed and angry about what happened to Zhou Luoluo, and regretted what he had done.

He didn't expect that Zhou Luoluo would have such a hard life before, nor did he expect how much courage Zhou Luoluo needed to muster to be with him.
