33 -Â Did you have a crush on someone when you were in high school?
The rain outside the car was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of raindrops hitting the car came from all directions, as if it was trying to cover up all the sounds around it.
Including her pounding heartbeat.
But the heartbeat was too loud.
It seemed to be roaring in her ears time and time again.
She suddenly discovered that since she reunited with Rong Qi, her heart was beating so violently that it seemed to happen often.
But this time, it was unprecedentedly intense.
ââCome live with me.
Is that what she thought?
Move into his house and live with him.
Legal cohabitation.
Cheng Li swallowed unconsciously because she really didn't know how to answer.
Agree immediately.
But moving was a big deal for her, and she had to seek Ms. Ling's opinion.
If you don't agree, something seems wrong.
They are a real couple after all.
How can a newly married couple live apart?
Cheng Li thought carefully, trying to slowly organize her words to answer his question.
But Rong Qi seemed to see what she was thinking. He stared at her and whispered: "Leave all other questions to me. You only need to answer this question."
He raised his palm.
Staring at his actions, Cheng Li felt that the scene in front of her was deliberately slowed down in a movie.
Until his fingers landed on her ears.
"Do you want to or not?"
She wants to live with him or not.
All other questions were left to him, and she only needed to answer this one.
Almost exactly a second later.
Cheng Li said softly: "I want to."
Her voice was firm.
Just like when he asked her if she wanted to marry him.
He always seemed to put the questions that were easiest to answer in front of her.
Just answer with one word.
The moment her words fell, Rong Qi's fingers hooked the broken hair that fell by her ears, and gently hooked them behind her ears. At the same time, he laughed softly.
"Go home." After saying that, he turned around and held the steering wheel.
The car starts.
Cheng Li watched him concentrate on driving and suddenly thought of a question.
That's why Rong Qi suddenly brought this up.
When the screen is moved forward, it is the scene of her confrontation with Xu Jiheng.
Could it be because of Xu Jiheng?
He must have bumped into her and Xu Jiheng together.
Jealous?
Cheng Li blinked, frightened by his terrible thought.
How could she actually think that Rong Qi would be jealous of her?
Although they are husband and wife now, their relationship is not to the point of jealousy, right?
Maybe it's just possessiveness?
Do you feel unhappy when you see another man with your wife?
This is still a possibility, which is relatively high.
Cheng Li pursed her lips and felt that she should explain.
"The man just now is the one who was talking to me..." She whispered as the car was driving, but Cheng Li paused and said in a somewhat unspeakable voice, "My ex-boyfriend."
"You don't have to come to me specifically. Explain," Rong Qi said quietly as he focused on looking straight ahead.
Cheng Li was silent.
All right.
If you don't want to hear it, forget it.
But after a while, Rong Qi asked in a low voice: "Is he harassing you?"
Rong Qi actually already knew almost everything about Xu Jiheng.
It is not uncommon for people to climb up to rich people in order to gain a higher position. And now this kind of thing is not only done by women, but also by many men.
It's just that no matter who does it, it's looked down upon.
Especially someone like Rong Qi, who made everything from scratch.
I won't even look at this kind of person.
Cheng Li raised the corner of her mouth: "Maybe it's because I'm living too happily now, and I feel unwilling to do so."
Now.
It was such a happy life.
Sure enough, this sentence succeeded in pleasing someone who was driving.
When he reached the traffic light, Rong Qi stared at the red light in front of him, the numbers kept beating.
until it jumps to 10.
9, 8, 7...
The numbers beating every second seemed to be forcing him.
Finally, he asked: "Why were you with him in the first place?"
Ah?
Cheng Li was lost in thought. She was still thinking about today's data.
Suddenly I heard this voice coming from next door.
Why were we together in the first place?
She and Xu Jiheng?
Cheng Li couldn't help turning her head and looked at Rong Qi in surprise. Was he asking about her and her ex-boyfriend?
no.
Didn't he look like he wasn't very interested just now?
All right.
Cheng Li was used to his change of expression. She thought for a moment and said truthfully, "I think it was because I was moved."
"Moved?" Rong Qi repeated these two words.
Cheng Li is a bit of a loser, not just talking about her ex.
Who doesn't have an ex yet?
After finishing talking about her, she also pressed him about his ex.
Everyone is evenly matched.
With this mentality, Cheng Li simply said: "He has been chasing me for two years, and I am just that old, but I have never been in love, so I just wanted to give it a try..."
As a result, he just tried it. wrong.
Fortunately, she was able to pull away in time in the end and was not too deeply involved in this relationship.
Cheng Li was thinking so calmly, and suddenly remembered what Xu Jiheng said to her when he finally left.
At that time Xu Jiheng looked at her with a smile she had never seen before.
He said: "You know, Cheng Li, even if there is no such thing as me and Wang Shuyan, I don't think the two of us can get married, but the reason is not me, but because of you."
"Actually, I am better than you think. I want to understand you, even if you were with me because of emotion."
"But one day, you will wake up, and then you will leave me without hesitation."
Cheng Li shook his head.
Wake up, Cheng Li.
The scumbag is PUAing you. It's obviously his fault, but he uses a hypothetical idea to blame all the mistakes on you.
hehe.
Even if she is indeed emotionally calm, this is not the reason for the other person to cheat.
If he cares about this, he can break up with her first and then pursue his rich wife.
As a result, he wanted her but couldn't let go of the rich girl.
There is no such good thing in the world.
Both want and want.
Cheng Li lowered his head, fiddled with the gold buckle on his bag, and whispered, "Actually, I've been dating him for a year..."
"Okay."
Rong Qi suddenly interrupted.
Cheng Li looked at him confused. At this time, the car restarted and Rong Qi said, "You don't need to tell me."
This person?
Why are you still rake it up?
Did she take the initiative to tell him?
Only when the car drove forward did Cheng Li realize something was wrong.
Could it be that he stopped at this time on purpose to prevent her from asking him what he was going to do next.
Cheng Li clasped her fingers on the edge of the bag on her leg and couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"
"Huh?" Rong Qi was puzzled.
Cheng Li went straight to the point: "How many times have we talked to you?"
Since today is a confessional, no one can escape from this car unscathed.
She has shed a layer of skin and told everything about herself.
He couldn't say a word or say anything at all.
The person in the driver's seat seemed to be concentrating on driving and didn't say anything. Cheng Li just turned to look at him and waited patiently.
After a long time, he probably knew that Cheng Li would not give up easily, so he finally spoke up.
He said casually: "How about you guess."
She still had to guess?
Cheng Li: "Give me a hint."
After a while, she carefully stretched out her palm, and her five snow-white slender fingers moved in the dark car, and asked, "Is it more than five times?"
Chi.
With the sound of the emergency brake she heard, she rushed forward with inertia.
Fortunately, Cheng Li was wearing a seat belt, otherwise her head would have hit the front glass.
Cheng Li took a deep breath, looked in front of the car, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you hit something?"
"A wild cat just escaped," Rong Qi said expressionlessly.
Cheng Li asked nervously: "Have you pretended?"
"No."
That's good.
Just as Cheng Li breathed a sigh of relief, he saw the lights on the roof of the car suddenly turned on, illuminating the originally dark car exceptionally brightly.
"Why don't you leave?" Cheng Li asked puzzledly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Qi's hand stretched out directly, pressed the top of her hair forcefully, and almost forced her face to turn in his direction.
"My face," Rong Qi frowned slightly, showing an expression as if he couldn't figure anything out.
Cheng Li blinked in confusion and said subconsciously: "It's very beautiful."
His face was the kind of face that was stunning at first sight, especially those eyes, the black pupils were so sharp and cold, every time they looked at each other, they were... It's like a whirlpool with turbulent undercurrents, drawing you in unconsciously.
"I know this," Rong Qi raised his eyes, but seemed a little helpless: "Does he look like a playboy?"
Cheng Li shook her head, but a second later, she whispered; "But your face looks very attractive." Bee attracts butterfly."
Even if he just stood there and did nothing.
Someone will also pounce on you.
Rong Qi looked at her and smiled.
He should really let her meet Jiang Zhe and let her understand what it means to have the face of a prodigal.
"If you insist on saying that," he stared at her, his voice a little low and magnetic, "it seems that I have to sue you for defamation."
Cheng Li: "..."
Why do you hear this ? , so familiar.
Soon, she remembered.
When she met Rong Qi for the first time in the bar, she also said similar words to Meng Yuange.
But at that time, Meng Yuange was lusting after her. She held Rong Qi's hand and talked about Xu Jiheng.
Unexpectedly, it took a few months.
The scene that Meng Yuange imagined for her actually came true...
Cheng Li muttered, "Why are you so excited? You can't have never talked about it once."
We are all adults.
It's normal to have a few exes, okay?
But when Cheng Li looked at Rong Qi again, he saw that he was holding the steering wheel and his expression was slightly stiff.
Wait a moment.
His reaction...
Cheng Li blinked and took in the other party's perspective. If he had never talked about it once, but was suddenly asked if he had more than five exes, it seemed that it was true. It's really to the point of slander.
But Rong Qi started the car without saying a word.
Cheng Li didn't dare to ask this question any further.
But there is inevitably some curiosity in my heart.
She couldn't help but think back to high school. In fact, Rong Qi's presence in the class was not high.
She was referring to things beyond the level of learning.
He rarely participates in class activities, talks little, and always keeps to himself.
The classmates were quite understanding and interpreted his behavior as the aloofness of a genius boy.
But there are also some girls who are cold and aloof like him.
To be precise, it should be a lot.
At that time, there were actually many girls from other classes who came to the class to see Rong Qi.
There is a girl named Zeng Muyan among them.
The reason why Cheng Li remembered this girl's name was because she had been very unfriendly to her. Maybe it's because Cheng Li stole her title of school beauty?
Zeng Muyan was recruited into No. 1 Middle School as a dance student. She was very beautiful and lively and generous.
It's a pity that No. 1 Middle School is a school with a stronger academic atmosphere. Everyone prefers girls like Cheng Li who are both good at studying and good-looking. In the post bar, it was said that there was a quarrel between the two of them over who was the school beauty. .
Cheng Li originally thought that this was just a joke among classmates.
Unexpectedly, she later met Zeng Muyan, who looked at her carefully and seemed to have a lot of opinions about her.
However, Zeng Muyan often came to the class to see Rong Qi later.
Because Rong Qi's seat was at the back of the class, she stood at the back door and talked to him.
One day at noon, Cheng Li had a stomachache because her aunt was here.
She didn't go to eat and asked her classmates to bring bread back, while she stayed in the classroom to rest.
It must have been summer at that time, and she always felt sleepy at noon. She lay down for a while and then fell asleep.
When she was woken up by a stomachache and drowsily, Cheng Li heard someone talking in the corridor.
A girl's bright voice reached the classroom from far and near: "Rong Qi, why didn't you go to the cafeteria at noon today? Fortunately, I asked your classmates and found out that you are still in the classroom."
Rong Qi didn't seem to speak. .
"Eat the bread and Coke I brought specially for you," it was Zeng Muyan's voice. She came to the class often, and her voice was familiar even to Cheng Li.
Finally, Rong Qi seemed to have run out of patience: "Can you stop coming to see me?"
Zeng Muyan said aggrievedly: "I just want to be friends with you."
No matter how courageous a high school girl is, she does not dare to directly use the word "dating" When he said it, he used the excuse of being friends.
"Are you here to go to school or to make friends?" Rong Qi's voice was obviously impatient.
Cheng Li, lying on the table, laughed softly.
She didn't mean to eavesdrop, they were just talking too loudly.
Cheng Li lay there quietly and sighed, not knowing when they were going to talk.
"Then tell me what kind of girl you like," Zeng Muyan seemed to have gotten used to his attitude. Instead, she asked with a smile: "If you tell me, I won't bother you."
Standing in the corridor Rong Qi suddenly raised his head and glanced into the classroom.
From the large and bright glass window, one could clearly see the girl in the third row of the classroom, lying on the table. Her ponytail was slightly swaying, revealing a section of her snow-white and slender neck.
"Anyway, it's not like you."
Zeng Muyan raised her voice: "So, you have someone you like?"
Cheng Li blinked. It turns out that this sentence can be interpreted in this way.
But Rong Qi didn't seem to refute at that time.
When the car stopped in the community, Cheng Li was also separated from the long memories.
Rong Qi turned his head to look at her and said, "We're home."
Suddenly Cheng Li stared at him and asked in a low voice, "Did you have someone you liked when you were in high school?"
