70 -Â Even if you do nothing, your presence is luck to me.
There was a silence in the box that even the air was stagnant.
Except for the person who called out his wife.
Even Cheng Li was stunned. He didn't know the best about her high school situation.
Why bother?
But when she looked at her classmates' expressions, she suddenly realized the intention of Rong Qi's words.
He is telling the world.
All the students present, including Meng Yuange, who was already aware of the situation, were all shocked, and everyone continued to look at these two people.
Other students, naturally, did not expect it at all.
Meng Yuange, on the other hand, did not expect that Rong Qi would be playing a confessional game here today.
All secrets are revealed.
I was originally here to attend the school anniversary today, but suddenly I heard a shocking piece of gossip.
Everyone was discussing privately just now, who is the girl Rong Qi likes? Is she from their own school or another school, or is she a classmate of his original youth class?
As a result, before they could discuss the outcome, the mystery was revealed.
Rong Qi, Cheng Li.
Cheng Li, Rong Qi.
No one has linked these two names together except for their classmates in high school for three years. After all, even in the class, they were not familiar with each other.
As a result, they were suddenly told that Rong Qi had not only liked Cheng Li for many years, but the two were also married.
Shocked, these two words are not enough to express the inner feelings of all of them at this moment.
This is also unbelievable.
"When did you get married?" A female classmate couldn't help but asked.
Rong Qi smiled lightly and said: "It's been a while, but I haven't had time to hold the wedding yet. If there is a wedding later, I would like to invite everyone to come and have a glass of wedding wine."
His words without any pretense immediately made other students feel flattered. a feeling of.
"Absolutely."
"Then you must remember to send invitations then."
"To be honest, I can't wait."
Everyone said something to each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
For a while, the old classmates were also very interested in their affairs. Although Rong Qi could not answer all the questions, he did answer a lot.
He has become the official spokesman for their marriage.
On the contrary, Cheng Li remained confused.
She wasn't ready to fall off her horse yet.
"I'm sorry, Cheng Li and I have something else to do, so we have to take a step forward," after a while, Rong Qi seemed to notice Cheng Li's silence and said softly.
Cheng Li raised his head, ah, what else do they have to do?
But when she was confused, Rong Qi had already stood up. He stood up from his chair, walked to Cheng Li's side, and handed his hand to her.
Cheng Li reached out and held his palm.
So under everyone's gaze, they held hands and left the box.
After leaving, the entire box felt like it was exploding.
The doubts that were reserved and restrained just now quickly escalated, and everyone in the room wanted to incarnate into a hundred thousand whys.
As a result, Meng Yuange, Cheng Li's best friend, suddenly became the focus of everyone's siege.
"Yuan Ge, what happened to them later?"
"Did Rong Qi pursue Cheng Li after going to college?"
"That's definitely not the case. I remember that I was still in Cheng Li's circle of friends and saw her dating other men. Is that her ex-boyfriend?"
"Who chased whom later?"
Meng Yuange was surrounded by a hundred thousand ducks, buzzing with questions.
Finally, Meng Yuange couldn't bear it anymore and said, "If I say that I don't know anything, can you let me go?"
"How is it possible? You and Cheng Li have such a good relationship."
"That's right, you were so close in high school, so We have been in a relationship for many years, how could she not tell you?"
The classmates obviously had no intention of letting her go. Even if she wanted to use the toilet as an excuse, there were female classmates who would accompany her.
Meng Yuange immediately felt that she had made a bad friend by mistake. Thinking of Rong Qi and Cheng Li, they lit the fuse and threw Lei Quan to her.
Oh my God.
Take her away.
Cheng Li was held by Rong Qi's hand and pulled downstairs, still feeling confused as if she was out of the situation.
"How about a walk?"
Instead, Rong Qi turned his head slightly, and the right sunlight at noon hit his eyelashes. Naturally, the fine and long eyelashes that rolled up were dyed with a light golden color, which made his originally dark eyes stand out. The pupils also took on a light amber color.
His attitude was too natural and casual, just like a casual suggestion on an ordinary afternoon.
Cheng Li nodded.
She really needed to take a walk to take the heat off her head.
Right now, her brain was like a computer running at high speed. Because of the crazy operation, the CPU was hot and needed to be cooled.
The two still held hands and strolled forward slowly.
Fortunately, it's only June now, and even though it's noon, the sunshine isn't too strong.
But as she walked, Cheng Li couldn't help but glance at Rong Qi.
he.
How on earth could I bear it?
Not a word asked.
Cheng Li suddenly discovered that between the two of them, she was the one who lost her temper first.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?" But at this moment, Rong Qi turned his head and looked over.
The smile in his eyes made Cheng Li understand that he knew everything.
Cheng Li was also stunned.
Want to ask?
There seems to be too many things to ask.
I want to ask him, when did he start falling in love with her?
Why did I choose to tell myself all this today?
However, at this moment she couldn't even ask.
"You want to ask too many questions?" Rong Qi seemed to be able to read minds and understood her thoughts immediately.
Cheng Li was silent.
Rong Qi held her hand and gently stroked the back of her hand. His voice was low and gentle: "Then ask one by one. Anyway, we have plenty of time."
They walked to the road at this moment, and there were low walls along the road. , next to the leafy plane trees.
Every early summer, the plane trees will grow dense and lush branches and leaves, covering the narrow sky above the road.
"Is your WeChat name related to me?"
Suddenly, Cheng Li spoke slowly.
Rong Qi turned his head to look at her, and a smile burst into his eyes.
Then the corners of his mouth rose.
He seemed to be unable to control himself, and finally laughed out loud.
Cheng Li blinked slightly: "Why, can't you say it?"
Or is this question so funny?
"No," Rong Qi shook his head, looked at her with interest, and explained, "I just feel that I know you well enough, but you still surprise me every time."
I originally thought that she would Asked when he started to like her.
But she actually asked the most irrelevant question.
His WeChat name: Qianli.
Someone actually asked this question, a reporter.
I don't know where I got his WeChat account. At the end of the interview, I asked him like a casual chat: "Mr. Rong, your WeChat account is called Qianli. Does it mean that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step?"
Rong Qi smiled calmly at that time. , but did not answer.
He never told anyone the meaning of his name.
Thousands of miles.
It's the thousand miles that make the slightest difference.
It was obvious that he was once very close to her, but because of his own hesitation, he almost lost her completely.
And after knowing that she has a boyfriend.
Rong Qi felt that he was destined to be separated from the people he cared about in this life.
At this moment, Rong Qi stopped, looked at her, and admitted without any concealment: "Well, it has something to do with you."
Cheng Li pursed her lips.
I had already made speculations about it, but hearing him admit it in person still made me feel heartbroken.
At this moment, her chest felt so uncomfortable that she was almost suffocating, and the sourness in her eyes was even more overwhelming.
Seeing that something was wrong with her expression, Rong Qi pretended to have a fierce tone and spoke deliberately.
"Don't cry."
However, these words not only failed to amuse Cheng Li, but instead caused the sourness to rush through her internal organs. She pursed her mouth desperately and clenched her fingers tightly, trying to hold back the tears.
But all this is of no avail.
Cheng Li lowered his head and said with a slight tremor in his voice: "What's so good about Cheng Li that makes you like him so much?"
Rong Qi was slightly startled.
The next second, he lifted Cheng Li's face without hesitation.
Rong Qi tugged at the corners of his lips and said with a hint of threat: "Even if you are Cheng Li, I won't allow you to say that about Cheng Li."
After Cheng Li's cheek was lifted, she looked at him quietly.
The sourness in my throat is still fermenting.
"If Cheng Li wasn't the best, would I have loved her for so many years?" Rong Qi stared at her, seemingly still feeling upset, and stretched out his hand to rub her cheek, speaking in a stern and matter-of-fact tone: "Are you doubting this? My vision? "
Cheng Li has never had any inferiority complex.
Everything in her life was smooth and peaceful. From childhood to adulthood, she was a star-studded existence.
But she suddenly discovered that she had been deeply loved by a person for so many years, remembered for so many years, and was unforgettable for so many years. This sudden intense emotion made her have self-doubt.
Do I really deserve this unforgettable feeling?
But Rong Qi's tough and determined attitude shattered all the doubts in her heart.
So in Rong Qi's firm eyes, Cheng Li finally asked the question she wanted to know most that day. She said, "So, when did you start liking me?"
Rong Qi chuckled. stand up.
Cheng Li thought he would answer immediately.
But unexpectedly, he took Cheng Li's hand and slowly led her forward. Although Cheng Li was strange, he let her hold her hand.
There are many places in Shanghai with protective buildings.
This is the area they are walking on now.
Cheng Li's home is very close to here. When she was still studying, she often came here to play.
There are huge plane trees on both sides of the road, as well as sentimental buildings along the street. Mottled light and shadow fall on the buildings. When you stroll by, even the years become gentle and slow.
Until the two of them walked to a stylish coffee shop.
Cheng Li noticed that Rong Qi's pace had slowed down, and she couldn't help but look up at the coffee shop. Could it be that they had met here before?
But unexpectedly, after taking two more steps and crossing the coffee shop, I happened to see a staircase with several steps next to it.
I don't know who built it, but it is connected to the wrought iron fence next to it.
Cheng Li's memory seemed to be suddenly refreshed, and there was something familiar here.
She remembered.
She seemed to often feed the cats here before.
Seeing that she was deep in thought, Rong Qi pulled her to sit down on the steps and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember?"
"Have we met here?" Cheng Li said softly.
"Yeah."
Cheng Li was silent, she didn't remember anything.
Until she whispered, "What did I do?"
What did she do?
This question seems easy to understand. She must have done something at that time to make Rong Qi miss her.
When the memory gate opens, all the dusty past pours out.
Including, the past that was the darkest, most intolerable, and the most difficult to look back on for Rong Qi.
At that time, Rong Qi returned to Shanghai. He was determined to drop out of the juvenile class and stay with his mother. At that time, my mother's breast cancer had reached an advanced stage, and she was very thin and out of shape.
Grandparents are either borrowing money or asking for help.
But even if he collected the money, he still couldn't save his mother's dying life.
So people around him were persuading Rong Qi to continue studying. After all, his mother's illness was beyond his control as a student, even if he was with her, it would still be like this.
It is better to study hard, have a good future when you grow up, and take good care of your grandparents in the future.
Of course, the most important thing is to pay off the money owed to relatives and friends.
Everyone was telling him what the better choice was.
He is so smart, and he is still in the junior class, and his future is bright.
Even his grandparents began to waver and let him go back to school.
No one can understand that when a fifteen-year-old boy is faced with the pain of losing his mother, they all want him to look forward and think about the future.
But he doesn't want a future at all.
He would rather he was a stupid person from birth, would rather he be nothing.
As long as I can keep my mother.
His mother seemed to understand what he was thinking. She reached out to hold his hand and whispered, "Do you know why your name is Rong Qi?"
Rong Qi means praying.
Looking at his already thin and pale mother, Rong Qi shook his head.
"Because you were prayed for by my mother, and you are the biggest gift that God has given to my mother in this life, so my mother always thinks that you don't need to be the best at anything. That would be really tiring, and if you don't want to go to the juvenile class, don't go. No matter what you want to do, mom will support you."
Although mom doesn't ask anything, she knows everything.
She knew why Rong Qi discussed his cleverness and knew his pain.
But God is never kind and merciful. He will always take away what a person cares about most. In this way, at the age of fifteen, Rong Qi said goodbye to his mother in the hospital.
She is still so young, but already looks haggard.
That day was the day when Rongqi's mother was buried. Grandma was crying early in the morning, and even grandpa couldn't hold on anymore.
Rong Qi held the portrait of his mother, and every step he took was as heavy as a pound.
He held the photo in his arms tightly, but he couldn't even shed a tear.
He didn't know what he had done wrong to let the person who cared about him the most and the person he cared about most in the world leave. It was clearly said that when the person he loved most left, it would rain.
But that day, the sky was still clear.
On his way back, he sat in the funeral car and watched the passers-by on the road. The mother held her child's hand, the couple leisurely shared the same cup of milk tea, and the teenagers chased and played happily.
Everyone's lives were running normally, but his world was completely dark.
Not long after returning home, relatives at home said that they wanted to take their grandparents over to stay for a few days. Otherwise, the two elderly people would not be able to bear it. They asked Rong Qi to come with them.
But Rong Qi didn't accept it. He packed the luggage for his grandparents.
After sending them to the car, he returned home alone.
But after staying at home for less than half an hour, he couldn't stand it anymore.
There used to be my mother's shadow everywhere, but now, there is only one photo of my mother left, hanging on the wall.
Rong Qi walked out, but he didn't know where he should go.
Fifteen is obviously the age when he should go to school, but he resolutely dropped out of school, leaving his future confused.
Having lost my mother, I have no expectations or goals for the future.
He has nothing left.
He walked aimlessly like that until finally, he sat on the steps beside the road and watched the traffic on the road, from day to night.
On the parasol trees on the roadside, cicadas chirped incessantly.
But he seemed to hear nothing and see nothing.
In the hot summer, even walking on the road will make you feel hot all over.
He sat there for several hours.
He would rather the sun would dry him out, and it would be better not to leave even a trace of thought behind, so that he would not be in pain or uncomfortable.
Until a faint meow.
It seemed to awaken some of his consciousness.
Rong Qi looked up and saw a fleshy kitten not far from the opposite side, lying in the corner, as if it was about to suffocate at any moment.
The cat also looked over at him.
One person and one cat, just looking at each other.
They are all left in this corner of the world.
"Why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time," suddenly a clear voice sounded.
Then, he saw her.
A girl in a white dress, her long hair tied into a ponytail, gently hanging in the air, when she bent down and squatted down, revealing her beautiful and slender back neck.
That scene was like a scene from a movie.
She slowly squatted down and picked up the cat in front of her.
Rong Qi's eyes were like a thread, pulling on her, moving little by little with her movements.
"Isn't it hard?" The girl stroked the kitten's head, frowned slightly, and sighed with pity.
She gently stroked the cat's body with her fingertips, fed the cat food and water to the cat, and comforted the cat in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you home today, and I will talk to Teacher Ling." I fought for it. And my results in the high school entrance examination were pretty good and I was admitted to No. 1 Middle School, so Teacher Ling definitely wouldn't reject me."
The girl didn't seem to care whether the kitten in her arms understood or not, she was just quiet and gentle. of whispers.
"I know, it's painful for you to be like this now."
Rong Qi blinked slightly. He didn't know why, but when he heard this sentence, countless sourness seemed to pour into his originally dry tear ducts.
"Everything will be fine, I promise," the girl comforted softly as she fed the last mouthful of cat food into the kitten's mouth.
At this moment, Rong Qi burst into tears.
Tears blurred his vision, and the figure of the girl not far away turned into a blur of white.
Like the soft and gentle moon hanging in the sky.
It is not dazzling and exudes a crystal warm light.
But it can illuminate a person's dark world.
When Cheng Li heard him finish speaking, she looked at the man beside her, tears already falling.
Instead, it was Rong Qi who wiped away her tears distressedly and whispered: "Stop crying. If you cry again, I have to take off my clothes to wipe your tears."
But the more he said this, the more Cheng Li cried. fierce.
In the end, there was really no other way, so Rong Qi simply held her in his arms and let her tears fall on his suit jacket.
He gently stroked her ears with his palms and whispered, "Don't you understand?"
Cheng Li was still crying, but she asked with a choked voice, "What?"
"Even if you don't do anything, your appearance is a blessing to me."
