Get Married - Chap 63
Chapter 63 They Don’t Love You Like I Do
How fast Shao Chengyun’s reflexes are, Xin Rong has fought against him several times, so he naturally knows.
He slapped it out, thinking that the other party would avoid it.
Until the palm slapped across the cheek and there was a loud sound, the two of them froze instantly.
Shao Chengyun didn’t hug him anymore, instead he supported Xin Rong’s shoulder with one hand, raised his other hand, and wiped away the blood stains from the corner of Xin Rong’s lips with his fingertips. That was the blood from Shao Chengyun’s mouth.
Shao Chengyun’s voice was a little hoarse, and he said to Xin Rong, “I’m sorry.” Then he smiled lightly, with a self-deprecating tone, “I was too impulsive.”
His hand slowly slid down one of Xin Rong’s shoulders, and there was no embarrassment on his handsome face.
Perhaps deep down in his heart, Shao Chengyun had already regarded Xin Rong as his relative and lover, even if he was slapped, it was because of his fault first. His apology and self-blame are very sincere, and he is no longer the superior partner he once was.
Xin Rong stood with her back against the window sill, her lips were red from being raped, but her face was a little pale.
His two hands were propped back against the edge of the window sill, and his breathing had not yet fully calmed down.
Shao Chengyun finally realized that something was wrong with him, stared at him for a few seconds, and called his name.
Xin Rong didn’t speak, her eyes were a little distracted.
Shao Chengyun sighed, put his hand on the back of Xin Rong’s head, pressed him on his shoulder, and asked him, “What did you think of? You’re so scared.”
Shao Chengyun knew the answer, but Xin Rong had to tell him once, so that the knot between them could be untied.
Xin Rong is not a fragile and hypocritical person, and he himself has been trying to get over that incident.
Shao Chengyun asked him, but he was unwilling to answer directly.
”Were you afraid of me when I hugged you?” Shao Chengyun asked more specifically this time, but his voice was gentler and comforting.
Xin Rong still didn’t answer, he raised his head, distanced himself from Shao Chengyun, pursed his lower lip, and asked suddenly, “Is there any water?”
Shao Chengyun turned around and went to the small refrigerator to get him a bottle of water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him.
Xin Rong raised her head and took two sips, then put the bottle on the window sill beside her.
”There’s a hypothesis. Actually, I’ve always wanted to know.” Xin Rong spoke again, speaking very softly and slowly, “If Mr. Zhou and the others weren’t there that day, no one would help me. In the end…you would let me go go?”
Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is not a good opportunity to chat.
But Xin Rong still asked.
His knot was not actually how he was treated by Shao Chengyun that night. Instead, during the two months before and after the termination of the agreement, Shao Chengyun used various methods to restrict him and force him to stay by his side.
Xin Rong also thought about asking this question several times. But because of the occasion, or timing, or because he himself lacked the courage to face the truth, he couldn’t ask in the end.
And just now they mistakenly kissed. Wrongly expressing emotions, biting and hitting, although it was not serious, it happened in just a minute or two, but it gave Xin Rong a very bad memory association.
He suddenly had an urge to hear Shao Chengyun’s true thoughts during those two months.
-
Shao Chengyun’s silence was longer than Xin Rong could imagine.
Maybe for a minute, maybe even two minutes. Xin Rong could see the movement of his cheeks on both sides, which seemed to be a secret bite.
In the end, Shao Chengyun reached out to take the water that Xin Rong put on the window sill, and took a sip. When he screwed back the bottle cap, he said, “Want to hear the truth? Xin Rong.”
Xin Rong looked at him and nodded slightly.
Shao Chengyun’s eyes regained their deep color, the corners of his lips curled up, he smiled, and said, “Don’t let go.”
In fact, the process of silence itself is the answer, and Xin Rong has already guessed it.
Because it was “not to let go”, Shao Chengyun was unwilling to say it. Just like Xin Rong was unwilling to ask questions before.
”In the education I have received since I was a child, everything I want can be obtained through channels and means.” Shao Chengyun said calmly, “Xin Rong, you are too weak for me, I can handle it There are too many places for you. I want you, or your feelings, so I don’t need to compare my heart so much. ”
Everything Shao Chengyun said was the truth.
In the adult world, the truth is the most expensive. In a sense, telling the truth means exposing weaknesses and showing your cards. But Shao Chengyun gave it to Xin Rong.
Something seemed to block Xin Rong’s throat, making him unable to make a sound.
Although Shao Chengyun was only objectively describing the virtual possibility of what he might have done to Xin Rong, but in the end he didn’t have the heart to do it, it was enough to make Xin Rong realize his luck of escape.
”I know what you want to say.” Shao Chengyun continued, with a touch of gentle coldness in his voice, “If I really do that, I won’t get your affection.”
”Don’t think that, Xin Rong.” Having said that, the man moved closer, and put one hand on the window sill, and the other hand touched Xin Rong’s back, and rubbed it along the joints, “Then Sometimes I don’t want equal love. I don’t even have the energy to deal with your naive thoughts and persistence.”
In retrospect, the process of Shao Chengyun’s change was actually very long. His sincerity was also revealed slowly. Even at the beginning of recovery, he still did not give up using some methods in the past.
And Xin Rong’s rejection of him and lack of confidence in him was based on correct intuition. Shao Chengyun at that time was not trustworthy.
Suddenly, an idea passed through Xin Rong’s mind vaguely and indistinctly. For no reason, he thought of the first time he met Bai Hui at the reception. The other party said that if he was smarter, he shouldn’t get close to people like Zhou Langye and Shao Chengyun.
Xin Rong frowned, looked at the place in front, and asked Shao Chengyun, “Have Bai Hui and Mr. Zhou separated? How?”
Shao Chengyun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, and said, “Oh, this, this is their privacy, it’s inappropriate for me to say it.” After a pause, he gave Xin Rong a short answer that could explain everything, “He compared You are miserable.”
The life that Xin Rong experienced gave him a sharper judgment. Since that night when she sent a signal to Luo Weiqi and Bai Hui for help, Xin Rong has been making the right choice.
He is actively saving himself and jumping at opportunities without hesitation. At the same time, Shao Chengyun was saved.
Even during the failed reunion process, Shao Chengyun thought about not giving Xin Rong freedom a few times, and forced him to come back with his usual methods. But in the end Shao Chengyun didn’t do that.
The flight to the UK lasted more than ten hours. After going through planes, cars, and back and forth, I saw Xin Rong walking out of the campus. Even though Shao Chengyun didn’t want to admit it, he had to admit that his love for Xin Rong grew day by day during the process.
He admired Xin Rong’s growth in such a stubborn way, and gradually agreed with everything he advocated.
It was Xin Rong who taught him what true love is.
In the end Shao Chengyun put one of his hands on Xin Rong’s, lowered his head a little, and said, “I know you might be angry when I say these words. But I don’t want to lie to you.”
With Shao Chengyun’s status and age, only Xin Rong could see his low profile.
However, Xin Rong pushed Shao Chengyun away with his other hand, and instead picked up Tangtang’s album and put it in his backpack.
When he walked past Shao Chengyun carrying his bag without saying a word, Shao Chengyun reached out and grabbed him. The strength was very restrained, but Xu Xu grabbed his wrist.
”Xin Rong.” Shao Chengyun called his name, then took a deep breath, and said in a somewhat difficult way, “Don’t like other people.”
”None of them love you as much as I do.”
Not only Xin Rong never imagined, even Shao Chengyun himself never imagined that one day he would be the one who proclaimed his love first.
But Xin Rong just froze, then looked up at Shao Chengyun, and shook his head almost expressionlessly. In the end, without any reply, he walked out of the hotel room.
-
Xin Rong’s shaking of the head can be interpreted in many ways. Because of this, Shao Chengyun had an extremely difficult day.
He knew that Xin Rong needed time to digest, so he waited until that night before trying to contact him. But Xin Rong didn’t answer the phone, and only replied a brief message on the grounds that she was in the library.
Shao Chengyun asked him again if he could pick him up at the bar after tomorrow’s class reunion.
Xin Rong didn’t respond at all. After that, he didn’t send any news to Shao Chengyun.
At nine o’clock the next night, Shao Chengyun still drove to the entrance of the bar. He didn’t enter the arena, nor did he call Xin Rong, but just waited outside.
Almost an hour later, several young people came out of the bar one after another. Although it was a street away, one of them looked familiar.
When Shao Chengyun recognized the other party as Louis, Louis also recognized him.
The two looked at each other across the street.
Louis was out to smoke with friends, because half of the party was girls, and it was not polite for them to smoke in public, so he came outside the bar.
The tall man standing across the street caught his attention. Louis said something to his friend, crossed the street alone, and walked up to Shao Chengyun.
”Xin Rong didn’t say you were coming to pick him up tonight.” Louis put his hands in his jeans pockets, and turned his head to look at the door of the bar after speaking.
”I’ll wait for him.” Shao Chengyun said calmly.
”Mr. Shao.” Louis suddenly smiled, “My friend in China once taught me a word, I think you must have heard it. A good ex should be as dead.”
”Is that what you said?” He asked again.
Shao Chengyun would not react to such a childish provocation. He just leaned against the car and looked at the young man lightly.
The smile on Louis’s face didn’t change, and he said, “I know, you don’t bother to talk to me, maybe you don’t pay attention to me at all.”
”I’ve checked your background.” Having said that, Louis paused and gave Shao Chengyun a thumbs up, “It’s a big background. And after Xin Rong entered the school, you donated a lot of money to the college. I guess Xin Rong still have no idea.”
”Have you ever thought about it, Mr. Shao. Xin Rong may also be tired of your rich man’s attitude. He only wants to talk about a simple relationship?”
After Louis finished speaking, he raised his jaw at Shao Chengyun, as if he was satisfied with the few words he said, then turned around and crossed the street, and walked back to the bar.
Shao Chengyun looked at Lu Yi’s back, and in just a few seconds, he even had an illusion that he shouldn’t have.
Yes, the other party is two completely different people from himself. It is probably impossible for Xin Rong to like a boy who is too young like Louis.
But who knows? Maybe Luis wasn’t stupid, and everything he said hit the nail on the head. What Xin Rong wants is nothing more than simple love.
Perhaps there is such a slim possibility that Xin Rong did not choose to return to Shao Chengyun in the end, but fell in love with someone else.
Shao Chengyun suddenly felt that the wind in June was a little cold on his body.
About ten minutes later, the door of the bar opened again, and this time it was Xin Rong who walked out alone.
He should have known that Shao Chengyun was waiting across the street, so his eyes calmly fell on Shao Chengyun.
But Shao Chengyun didn’t wait for him to cross the street, didn’t wait for him to walk towards him. Xin Rong stood a few meters away, until the door behind her opened again, and Louis and his party came out talking and laughing.
Xin Rong withdrew her gaze and no longer faced Shao Chengyun’s direction. He turned around and walked a few steps along the sidewalk. Louis caught up with him from behind, and then put his hand on Xin Rong’s shoulder.
