Chapter 122 She has proved it a thousand times with her actions
The moonlight is like a silver thread.
Xie Ling stood in front of Chen Fuji's room
The moonlight was bright white, shining on her face.
She did not take off her white cheongsam, but just unbuttoned two buttons on her collar, revealing her collarbone. She smelled faintly of alcohol.
The temperature outside was high, her face turned red, her figure was slender, and her steps were a little unsteady.
Chen Fu Ji felt that he could guess the intentions of any woman who appeared outside his door at this time.
We are all adults, alone, knocking on a man's door in the middle of the night, what other meaning could there be?
He's not stupid.
...Except Xie Ling.
Over the past twenty years, she has personally proved through her actions a thousand and ten thousand times that she has no such feelings for him.
You can kiss and have sex, but there is no love between men and women.
In her world, he could be a servant, or a tool who took care of all the trivial matters for her.
But tools are not worthy of being on the master's dining table.
Later, perhaps having understood the situation, Chen Fuji persuaded himself to detach his emotions from sex. He tried to simply enjoy the physical relationship.
But he gradually discovered that even in his bed, her mind was elsewhere and she didn't have any regard for him at all.
This fact should have been clear to her when she asked him to help her design Cheng Yu'an.
But he was too persistent.
Keep deceiving yourself, but now...
He didn't want to continue to deceive.
——
Chen Fuji narrowed his eyes, tightened his voice, and pressed his knuckles against the door frame.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Ling stood in front of him, looking into his room with a hesitant look on her face. "Can you accompany me... for a walk in the yard?"
This Chinese courtyard in Los Angeles is filled with Huang Shishen's low-brow aesthetic.
Under the eaves of Suzhou gardens, there are neon signs hanging, and next to the Taihu rocks, there are abstract sculptures standing, creating a whole incongruous landscape.
Chen Fu Ji didn't understand what was so interesting about this place.
But his long-standing habit made him follow her suggestion, and the two of them walked into the yard, one in front and the other behind.
The cool moon shone softly on the two of them.
Xie Ling turned around and looked at him, "Is your injury feeling better?"
Chen Fu Ji said "hmm".
It seemed that there was no intention to discuss it in detail, and Xie Ling didn't know how to start, so he had to keep moving forward.
Xie Ling's high heels made a crunching sound as they stepped on the cobblestones.
"Don't go over there,"
Chen Fuji suddenly called her over, frowning and looking ahead, "The road is not easy to walk on."
Before he finished speaking.
Xie Ling had already stumbled a step and stumbled towards the rockery.
Chen Fuji instinctively reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, his palms touching the warmth of her skin. They were so close that he could even see the subtle shadows cast by her eyelashes on her lower lids. Xie Ling's eyelashes trembled in his embrace, and she suddenly grasped his shoulders, tiptoed up, and kissed him.
The kiss was awkward and stiff, like a sudden rainstorm in summer.
Chen Fu Ji froze all over.
He hadn't anticipated this development, so he let her grab his collar and stand on tiptoe to kiss him. The taste of tequila still lingered between her lips and teeth, and his tongue, warm, delved inside.
…
Scenes flashed through Chen Fu Ji's mind, and those unforgettable past events flashed through his mind like a silent film.
Xie Ling's skills are really not that good.
Although she had been trained and taught by him for a long time and did whatever he told her to do, to be honest, she was often like a piece of emotionless wood.
I don’t know about feelings either, I gave everything to Cheng Yu’an.
In addition, because of his injury, this hadn't happened for a long time, so at this moment, Chen Fu Ji didn't have too many romantic thoughts in his mind, but his body was stiff uncontrollably.
The whole person froze in place, motionless.
He felt that people did have obsessions.
Xie Ling has been his obsession for the past twenty or thirty years.
Because I can't get it, I want it more.
This obsession has even cast a filter over her very being.
It doesn't seem like love, but more like a desperate attempt to prove that he is worthy of being loved.
Chen Fu Ji froze in place.
In the brief few minutes, he did not make any other moves, but just let the other party do what he wanted.
Xie Ling pulled at the collar of his clothes and finally leaned her whole body on his chest. Perhaps because her heart was moved, she felt that the kiss now was completely different from before.
Chen Fu Ji endured it again and again, raised his hands lightly, and looked at meekly.
But in the end, he did not follow his heart, and it fell on her slender waist, which could be held in one hand, but on her shoulders instead.
Xie Ling was pushed away by a strong force.
Chen Fu Ji did not stay where he was, but turned around and strode towards his residence without saying a word.
——
Xie Ling had no experience in pursuing anyone in the past.
She and Cheng Yu'an had a one-night stand but were caught and got married, so they decided to get married first and then fall in love. Obviously, it wasn't very successful.
The only person around her who can be called a close friend is Bai Yirou.
Before coming, she specifically went to ask Bai Yirou for advice.
"If you like someone and want to pursue him, what should you do?"
Bai Yirou didn't know yet that she and Cheng Yuan had signed a divorce agreement.
She raised an eyebrow in surprise and glanced at Xie Ling. "Didn't Cheng Yu'an already..." She suddenly fell silent and looked at Xie Ling thoughtfully. "Did you have a fight?"
Xie Ling could only change the way he asked the question.
"So how can we deepen our relationship?"
"Care about him, take care of him, make plans for him..."
Bai Yirou had obviously shared her method of dealing with Xie Siyan with her, "Men all fall for this."
Xie Ling frowned.
She felt that these methods seemed to be of no use to her.
She had no room to care about Chen Fu Ji's career.
On the contrary, she needed Chen Fu Ji to take care of everything. Without him, she felt like she had lost an arm and her life was a mess.
It was late at night, the night before departure for Los Angeles.
Xie Ling clicked on a public account called [Emotional Master].
The cursor in the dialog box flickered for a long time before she slowly typed.
Xie: [Customer Question] What should I do if I want to pursue a man?
Qing: So you are female?
Xie: Yes.
Love: When a girl pursues a boy, it only takes a few seconds of sleeping together to win him over.
Xie Ling stared at the screen, his ears burning.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally responded to his suggestion: "What if it has already happened?"
The other party was obviously stunned.
The prompt "Input in Progress" continues to appear above the dialog box and then disappears.
"Did you finish sleeping together? The other party refuses to take responsibility?
Sister, you are not an ugly bitch, are you?
When it comes to love, card modeling and hardware configuration, I don’t accept orders that are too ugly.”
After a long while, the other party sent a long voice message.
After listening, Xie Ling fell silent.
After listening to it that night, she put her phone upside down under her pillow, thought about it, and felt that she was not the type of person who would be blocked by the model.
But now, Xie Ling felt a little doubtful when she saw the man who turned around and left without a word of response after being kissed by her.
Chen Fu Ji...does he hate himself?
