Chapter 55: Suffocating Engagement
Shen Qinian stood outside for a long time, and finally he lowered his voice: "Okay, no matter what."
Chen Ci Nian returned to the master bedroom. The moonlight was not very bright tonight. There were two envelopes on the windowsill that had just been delivered today and had been opened.
——"Employment Letter for Professor (Full Professor Qualification) of the Department of Psychic Science at the National Defense University"
——"Admission Notice of the Department of Psychic and Paranormal Sciences (Practical Combat Prodigy Class) of the National Defense University"
Shen Cinian stood in front of the window, recalling many things from the past.
He was so far away from his days at the National Defense University that his memory of them gradually became blurred, and those years seemed to have been forgotten.
But he actually still remembered the six big red characters on the lecture hall of the National Defense University. To be more precise... he was deeply impressed, so deeply that even after several changes of identity, he could not forget them at all from beginning to end.
"For humanity, seek a new life."
This is a good university. The old lecture hall has been demolished and a new one has been built. Those mottled traces can probably only be recalled in photo albums and old newspapers.
"Humanity..." Shen Cinian's voice was very light, but the emotion contained in it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
It's too soft, and I can hardly hear it.
He said: "Human beings are really interesting."
…
Guest Room, 19:45.
The special plane to pick him up will land on the top of the Security Bureau branch building at 20:30.
Fang Ke stood by the window, closed his eyes and enjoyed the night breeze for a while.
After tomorrow, he will no longer be free. He will have a wife, and he and his wife will go to college together, take the same classes, and live in the same villa.
Perhaps according to the Security Bureau's wishes, Shen Ci Nian would also move in, as...
As a monitor.
They wanted to use Wang Lingxin to restrain his emotions, and then use "clear sky and white day" to restrain his behavior.
The night wind was cold, but his stiff head seemed even colder.
Without much hesitation, he stood on the windowsill. After three breaths, he jumped down.
No sound was made.
The feeling of falling from a building was brief, and that brief feeling of letting the soul escape was almost addictive to him. Now that he was an adult, he certainly wouldn't fall and get his head broken and bloodied like he did when he was a child.
What was he thinking when he jumped?
Maybe he wants to die or wants to be caught by someone.
No, nothing at all, he won’t die and he won’t be caught.
So he didn't think anything of it. He just disappeared, dressed in black, without alerting anyone.
He was running wildly, running against the wind, the same wild running he had done a few years ago, with a hysterical momentum, and just disappeared in the villa area.
…
Chen Qinian looked out the window at the dusk, his eyes falling on Fang Ke's head covered with a black hood.
A little unhappy.
There were footsteps behind me.
Tang Baidu, who had been dozing in the nanny's room on the first floor, came up at some point. He seemed to sense that the Divine Master was in a bad mood, and his tone was particularly respectful tonight: "Sir, are you returning to the group tonight?"
“No rush, come back when school starts,” Shen Cinian closed the curtains, turned around, his eyes deep, “Let Shen Lin handle the Fang and Wang families’ affairs.”
"yes."
…
Fang Ke brought nothing with him except his ID card.
About an hour later, the helicopter landed over the Wang family's luxurious villa. The wind was very strong today and the night was very cold. Wang Lingxin was dressed very beautifully, like a real princess. She wore a platinum crown inlaid with large sparkling diamonds and gems on her head, and a snow-white puffy skirt tailored by an internationally renowned designer. The crinoline was very large and the skirt was very long. Two maids held it up behind her.
She had been waiting for a long time before Fang Ke came. Even though her nose was frozen red, she refused to go downstairs and insisted on welcoming Fang Ke in person.
As soon as Fang Ke got off the helicopter, Wang Lingxin rushed over regardless of the huge wind force from the propeller, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.
"Brother Yuanyuan, I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I'm finally going to marry you, I... I'm really so happy..."
Fang Ke's body stiffened for a moment, then he gently patted Wang Lingxin's back under Wang Xiaosheng's urging gaze. He imitated Shen Cinian's gentleness and asked, "Why are you crying when you are so happy?"
"Brother Yuanyuan...you've really changed a lot. You, you used to be impatient. Every time you were impatient with me, I was actually very sad...but now, now it's okay. We're getting engaged. You'll be nice to me in the future, just like you were just now, right?"
Fang Ke found it difficult to answer, and finally closed his eyes and nodded reluctantly: "Yes..."
"Let's go down, Brother Yuanyuan. It's so cold up there."
Wang Lingxin naturally and affectionately took Fang Ke's arm and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Fang Ke saw her profile out of the corner of his eye and was dazed for a moment.
It was not until this time that he felt that Wang Lingxin had grown up.
His impression of Wang Lingxin actually still remains at the age of just over ten. The little girl always liked to stand in front of him with her hands on her hips and scold anyone who said something bad about him.
“Wang Lingxin!” He was young at the time, and he always frowned when Wang Lingxin climbed the tree in his yard, “Can you act like a girl?”
The little girl jumped down and started arguing with him, "I can't protect you as a girl!"
It turns out that a few years have passed so quickly, and they have grown up so quickly. The tough girl who climbed trees every day has grown into a graceful princess.
Wang Lingxin was wearing nice high heels and walked gracefully beside him, like a real princess from a fairy tale.
Even when Wang Lingxin was walking, her eyes would always fall on Fang Ke from time to time. When she saw the collar exposed under Fang Ke's hood, she couldn't help but look distressed.
She suddenly reached out and tried to touch the collar.
Fang Ke subconsciously dodged to the side, and her eyes dimmed instantly, but she soon smiled again.
She said in a voice that only they could hear: "I know you never liked me."
"But marry me, I can protect you."
Fang Ke turned his head away uncomfortably, feeling a little blocked in his heart.
"If I marry you, my father will do everything in his power to protect you, because I am the most important person in his life, more important than his own life."
Hearing this, my heart, which was already blocked, felt even more bitter and bitter.
Wang Lingxin is the most beloved little princess in the Wang family.
What about him? Where is he in the Fang family? He seems insignificant.
As the eldest son of the Fang family, one of the powerful "one group and two families", he seems to feel the benefits of being born in such a family only in the endless money.
And all that is left is pain.
He recalled the days of extravagance and decadence in City A. The flattery of the young masters and ladies actually concealed deep contempt.
The source of his contempt came from his mother, Su Lixia, the eldest daughter of the second-rate Su family, who was suspected of betraying the human race.
The contempt can be roughly divided into two categories: the same character as his mother or the one who was born by a mother but not raised by her.
But he never cared and was too lazy to bother about it.
There are many people coming to the banquet tonight, including tycoons, wealthy families, military personnel, and high-level players.
Those powerful people also brought their daughters and sons.
As soon as the two protagonists entered the banquet hall, people who wished them well swarmed around them.
Most of them were compliments to Wang Lingxin, and some also said a few good words about Fang Ke.
A small number of them were Wang Lingxin's true good sisters. Without exception, these people looked at Fang Ke with hostility and told him bluntly in front of Fang Ke that if Wang Lingxin was abused in the future, she should live in their homes.
At this moment, there should be such a group of characters: a group of brothers, standing beside him and speaking for him, patting their chests to assure him that he is definitely not such a person.
But no. Just like getting engaged is obviously a joyful thing, his heart is filled with heaviness.
Wang Xiaosheng and Fang Jimin were standing not far away, talking about something, and their eyes would occasionally look in the direction of the newlyweds.
Fang Ke felt increasingly uncomfortable. He was like a bird with broken wings that had strayed into the underwater world. The crowds of people around him were like the pressure of the seabed, ready to crush him. He...
I was about to be drowned by the sea.
I really want to take a breath.
Wang Lingxin seemed to have noticed something, put down the red wine glass, hugged his arm tightly, and her eyes became redder and redder.
"Brother Yuanyuan...Brother Yuanyuan, do you want to leave? Please don't leave me here... You leave me here... What should I do..."
Fang Ke's hand holding the champagne shook, and then his whole body began to shake. The shaking became more and more intense, and he was almost on the verge of falling.
Wang Lingxin...is like a deeper sea.
It suffocated him even more.
Wang Lingxin was almost crying, "Please, Brother Yuanyuan, no matter how impatient you are, just wait until my dad announces the engagement news, okay..."
"I know you don't like me, but I like you. I like you so much. I really like you..."
Why is it so suffocating?
Because he knew that the girl in front of him loved him deeply, was devoted to him the most, and liked him very much. This girl was the only one who had insisted on standing in front of him regardless of right or wrong in the past many years, in the past thousands and tens of thousands of days.
During such a long and difficult period, there was only this girl who foolishly thought that whatever he did was right.
But he didn't like this girl, he didn't like her at all, he was even... even a little annoyed by the girl's noise.
And now, the girl was standing next to him, about to marry him as she wished.
Why is this happening? He doesn't like it at all.
It has always been like this. What's the point of not liking it?
Wang Lingxin was not someone he hated, and it was precisely because he did not hate her that he felt even more pain.
It felt like something died inside me.
Fang Ke didn't move, as if he had turned himself into a piece of wood.
"Brother Yuanyuan..."
Wang Lingxin slowly released his hand, her eyes filled with unspeakable hurt: "If you want to leave, go ahead... I won't stop you. I just want you to be happy, but you never... never smile..."
"When Aunt Su was still alive, you were always good at laughing. You know, your smile was like a sunflower, no, you were brighter than it. In my eyes, you were radiant. You were smarter than me since you were a child. You were a genius in college back then. When you gave me homework to copy, I felt like you were a god from heaven..."
"I really want to see you smile, smile at our engagement party..."
"You know, as long as I can see you smile, I'm willing to die for you..."
Fang Ke suddenly came to his senses, his scalp went numb, and he instantly raised his hand to cover Wang Lingxin's mouth.
