Chapter 69 Chapter 69 "You've lost weight."...
After Qin Yiyan left, only the two of them were left staring at each other.
Shen Xiyu took several deep breaths. When they met again, she could no longer utter those complaining, resolute, sober, polite and courteous words. She threw the prepared remarks out of her mind.
"You've lost weight." Shen Xiyu couldn't help but choke up with sobs, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing the girl crying in grievance, Liang Qi didn't bother to think about anything else and wiped away her tears with his big and warm hands.
"Don't cry." Liang Qi's heart trembled, and he felt the sadness and pain for the first time in a long time. He hugged Shen Xiyu and let her bury her face in him. She was such a face-conscious person, and she was most afraid of being seen losing her composure by others.
"I'm sorry, Shen Xiyu, I'm sorry, please don't cry, okay." Liang Qi's voice trembled unconsciously along with Shen Xiyu's twitching body.
Shen Xiyu didn't expect that she would be so defeated and burst into tears. After calming down, she poked Liang Qi with her index finger.
The boy understood what she meant, and even though he was reluctant, he slowly let her go.
Shen Xiyu knew in his heart that no matter what the two people's wishes were, this would probably be the last time they met.
The number of people coming and going gradually increased, and Liang Qi pulled her into the dark stairwell.
The sensor light turned on and off, and Shen Xiyu didn't know how to organize his words. Every time he was about to speak, he could see the unspeakable emotions in Liang Qi's eyes.
Shen Xiyu's habit of daydreaming came back again. This environment reminded her of last year, when Liang Qi confessed to her. She followed Chen Ningzhou to hide at Guan Shu's place. She went there early in the morning for two consecutive days and did exercises there until the evening before returning. One night, Liang Qi blocked her in the stairwell.
However, times have changed. The snow on the windowsill has long melted. The time when they needed to keep each other warm has passed, and the breeze is filled with the scent of spring.
This can't go on any longer. Shen Xiyu forced a smile, but she didn't know that this forced smile was uglier than crying.
"us……"
She had just opened her mouth to say two words when her lips were fiercely blocked by someone who suddenly bumped into her. Liang Qi pressed forward, forcing Shen Xiyu to retreat repeatedly. The stairwell was not big to begin with. She took a step and Liang Qi pressed her down and followed her. After just two steps, she was backed up against the wall.
Liang Qi lost his mind. In his calculation system, he could not find an answer that would allow him to have a happy ending with Shen Xiyu. He even had a vicious thought. He wanted Shen Xiyu to never forget him, whether it was love or hate. He wanted Shen Xiyu to have his shadow in everything she did, so that she would never be able to do the things they did together with others.
Shen Xiyu always knew that his kiss was not consistent with him at all. Liang Qi was usually gentle and used to pretend to be a subordinate in front of her, but Shen Xiyu knew in his heart that that was not the real Liang Qi. He just liked to use this method to let her lower her psychological defenses, so that it would be easier for him to erode her step by step.
Just like now.
The person in front of her held Shen Xiyu and widened the distance between them a little bit. A silver thread was pulled between their lips. Shen Xiyu felt ashamed and simply closed her eyes. A red tongue unconsciously slid to the corner of her mouth. Before she could breathe enough fresh air, Liang Qi came up to plunder her again.
"Enough." Because of the foreign object, Shen Xiyu spoke unclearly and tilted her head to avoid him. Unexpectedly, this made it convenient for Liang Qi. She was pressed lower and her neck was forced to cater to his kiss in a difficult way.
When his consciousness was not clear, Shen Xiyu suddenly came back to his senses and wondered what he was doing and what Liang Qi was doing.
She didn't come here to accept Liang Qi's unclear provocation. What does this mean? What do they mean by this?
"Enough, I say enough!" Shen Xiyu turned her face to the side, and Liang Qi's lips were suddenly dodged and hit her cheek.
His lost rationality returned. This wasn't the right time. He shouldn't be doing this now. Liang Qi rested his forehead against Shen Xiyu's temples, breathing heavily, his warm breath reaching Shen Xiyu's earlobe. The smell of tobacco on Shen Xiyu's lips was particularly strong at this moment. She knew Liang Qi must have smoked a lot recently.
But so what? From today on, none of this has anything to do with her.
She pushed Liang Qi with her hand, "Get up."
The boy knew he had gone too far and stood up obediently in silence.
Shen Xiyu was so angry that he laughed, and felt very pathetic. "Liang Qi, we have broken up."
"No!" He seemed to have been touched by something in his reverse scale, "You didn't say that breaking up is a matter between two people. If I didn't agree, we didn't break up!"
Shen Xiyu wanted to break free from his tightly grip on her hand, but Liang Qi was like a madman, refusing to let her go and holding Shen Xiyu so tightly that it hurt.
"Go ahead and grab it if you want." She gave up struggling and let him do it. "You and I both know it's meaningless anyway."
Liang Qi lowered his head and said nothing.
He started again, Shen Xiyu held back his tears and reminded himself.
"Why do I have to act like a bad person?" She stared at Liang Qi. "You were the first to break your promise. What are you doing now?"
"So you don't have to leave and I can go with you, or do you want me to wait for you, wait for one or two years or countless years." Shen Xiyu struggled to break free from him, but strangely, this time he got rid of him easily.
Shen Xiyu didn't want to see him getting wet, as if he had suffered a great injustice, so he turned his face away and didn't let himself feel soft-hearted.
"It's not your fault, nor is it my fault, and I can't morally blame you."
When Liang Qi heard this, he panicked and said, "No, it's my fault, it's my fault."
Seeing Liang Qi's red eyes, Shen Xiyu's tears also welled up in his eyes.
She denied Liang Qi's words, "No, it's a risky gamble. I knew you didn't completely trust me, but I still chose to believe you. There's no right or wrong. We are just bearing the consequences of our choices."
"You know full well that I'm a troublemaker, have a bad temper, and easily get into trouble, yet you've stayed with me for so long. Bearing these shortcomings of mine is the consequence you have to bear."
Shen Xiyu paused for a few seconds, then continued, "So there's no such thing as right or wrong. How can it be so clearly distinguished?"
Liang Qi stared at her for a long time. He knew that Shen Xiyu said all this just to clear things up, so that he could be free of psychological burden and leave. After all, what she hated most was looking back, and what she hated most was being trapped in the unclear past.
"You have your own stand." Liang Qi shed his irrationality and madness, and became the man in Shen Xiyu's memory who had no temper in front of her. "Whether you believe it or not, I never thought of hiding anything from you. It was my arrogance that made me think I could solve everything without you knowing."
Shen Xiyu listened quietly.
"I never thought you were a problem. I was the one who tried my best to make you like me. Maybe there's no right or wrong in love, but wrong is wrong. I thought too highly of myself, so I let all those vows about our future run wild."
After he finished speaking, Shen Xiyu felt somewhat relieved and a little tired.
"I'm very proud, you know. I don't want to make things awkward. So, let's just leave it at that, Liang Qi. No matter how much you say, it won't change the facts, right? People who need to change their existing life trajectory to accommodate each other in order to stand in each other's future may not be suitable in the first place."
Shen Xiyu turned around and said, "Thank you for taking so long. Let's part ways in peace."
As she was about to walk out of the stairwell, she suddenly stopped and turned her head.
"By the way, I'm sorry for your uncle's death." After a few seconds, Shen Xiyu couldn't help but add, "Take care of yourself."
Liang Qi watched as Shen Xiyu was about to leave. This might be the last time they would see each other in this life, and what would happen in the future was unknown.
"Chen Xiyu." He called her anxiously, and the girl stopped as she wished. "What if I stand up? What if I stand by your side again in the future?"
Shen Xiyu lowered her head and a tear fell to the floor. It seemed that she was incontinent. She teased herself in her heart, haven't she cried enough?
"Liang Qi." She turned around and gave him a deep look. "Look at you, you still can't stop promising things you don't know if you can keep."
After saying that, Shen Xiyu opened the door and walked out without stopping.
Liang Qi was surrounded by darkness inside the door. After Shen Xiyu left, he sat down on the ground exhausted, leaning against the wall.
Thinking of what Shen Xiyu had just said, he couldn't help but laugh at himself. Yes, he was still so arrogant and had no memory...
*
"I've put the flowers you bought at the door for you." As soon as Chen Xiyu came out, he ran into Qin Yiyan coming out of the corridor, "Go and present the flowers."
The two were told in advance by Chu Cang not to buy white flowers, so Shen Xiyu spent a lot of money to buy out-of-season sunflowers. Although she had only met Fu Shengrui a few times, she still sincerely wished him to be a happy person in his next life.
"Oh, that." Qin Yiyan remembered something and stopped Shen Xiyu who was about to turn around and go over, "Are you guys... done talking?"
The girl didn't move, her back facing him, "Yeah."
"Where are the others?"
"Still in the stairwell."
Qin Yiyan watched Shen Xiyu leave, then walked forward and opened the door to the stairwell in the corner.
A beam of light leaked in and stung Liang Qi's eyes. He raised his hand to block it.
The boy sat in the corner, his long legs filling the aisle, his elbows casually resting on his bent knees, his hair, which had not been trimmed for a long time, blocking his eyes, and his stubble was slightly blue.
Liang Qi didn't react much when he saw the person coming.
Qin Yiyan walked in and stood beside him silently.
Neither of them spoke for a long time.
Finally, Qin Yiyan sighed, as if he was a little helpless, "How could I get myself into this state?"
Liang Qi sneered to himself, mocking himself, "If I had known, I wouldn't be like this now."
Qin Yiyan knew that it was useless to say more. Although Liang Qi's departure did not have much impact on him, the worst that could happen was that he could go and get together during holidays just like when the other party was in Luocheng. After so many years of friendship, even for the sake of the relationship between the two families, it would not have any impact on their contact.
But he knew best what leaving Liang Qi meant. Years of hard work had gone to waste, and their hard-earned relationship had been forced to end. He had lost the thing he cared about most.
