Chapter 251: It's a relief to make it clear
Zhang Fushun listened to Dai Qing's comfort and agreed very much. He looked at Dai Qing as if he was looking at a treasure.
"I didn't expect Xiaoqing to understand business. It's really not easy. Smart people are really top-notch in every field."
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, Uncle Zhang. I'm just talking, but if you really ask me to do it, I may not be able to do it."
Being praised continuously, Dai Qing felt a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned she was.
While the two were talking, the driver Ono came over to him to deal with something. Dai Qing took the opportunity to say goodbye and prepared to go back.
As soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by someone.
"Little girl, aren't you going to leave without even saying hello to me?"
He is extremely busy outside, but he still thinks about her every day. How heartless is this girl to be so indifferent?
They say distance creates beauty. How come they feel more alienated now that the distance between them has widened?
Dai Qing raised her head and looked at Cheng Hao's resentful eyes with an indifferent tone.
"I saw that you were very busy today, so I didn't bother you."
Cheng Hao was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and asked, "Can we find a place to talk?"
He wanted to ask if there was any misunderstanding.
Dai Qing looked at his persistent eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded directly, "Okay, there is a small park in front, let's go sit down."
The two walked side by side, without speaking for a while.
Cheng Hao looked at her sideways, feeling very uncomfortable. "You have changed a lot."
"It's normal to have changes. You can't just grow older." Dai Qing curled her lips. As long as you live your life seriously, you will grow and change every day.
Hearing her teasing, Cheng Hao raised his eyebrows, and after a while he couldn't help but chuckle, "That's true, we are all changing."
Sitting on a stone bench in the small park, Cheng Hao stared at her fair and transparent cheeks. His eyes were dark and bright, revealing a hint of coldness.
Although she looked calm and self-possessed, he always felt that there was a sense of hostility hidden in this girl.
For a 19-year-old girl who lives a simple and ordinary life, it is hard to imagine where that violent temper comes from?
"Did I tell you that I like you?"
Cheng Hao looked at her, his lips curved into an arc, his deep eyes sparkling.
Dai Qing pursed her lips and said in a serious tone, "In fact, I have long wanted to tell you that I don't want to get married in my lifetime, nor do I want to be bound by marriage."
"Why? You are only nineteen years old. Isn't it too early to say these things?"
Cheng Hao frowned, finding it hard to believe that these words came from her mouth?
Girls aged eighteen or nineteen should be full of longing and fantasy about their future life, rather than resistance.
"Morning? You are not me, so you cannot empathize with me. I don't blame you, but please respect my thoughts and don't force me."
Dai Qing looked at him, and all her fantasies were shattered after going through her past and present lives.
Although the perpetrators were punished and everything was over, her dream of marriage was shattered.
"I once said that I want to be the best fortune teller. Fortune telling is different from other fortune telling. It involves personal fortune telling and the law of karma. If you are not careful, you will leak the secrets and be contaminated by karma."
"So, being a widow, orphan, lonely, disabled, and losing power, money, and life are also punishments bestowed upon Taoist sorcerers by the heavens. To put it nicely, they are the price they pay in exchange."
As a fortune teller, my grandfather seems to have understood most of these factors.
And she, adding up her past and present lives, doesn't she know how many she has?
Cheng Hao: “…”
so what?
"Because of the taboo of identity, people who are with me will probably not have a good ending... But as friends, it's okay."
Dai Qing looked at him and spoke softly.
"Is that why you rejected me?" He didn't know that being a fortune teller would require so much effort, but he didn't care.
"This is just one of the reasons... This alone is enough to scare everyone away."
Dai Qing joked, "Innocent people are just standing there."
"Actually the biggest reason is that I'm not interested in relationships between men and women."
Is that clear enough?
Cheng Hao: “…”
I haven't seen her for half a year. What on earth has this girl been through?
"Although I don't quite understand why you have such an idea, I am not the kind of person who would make a fuss. I respect your choice, but I don't want to give up for the time being. If one day you change your mind, we can talk again."
He has no objection to being a professional charlatan.
But as long as one is human, there will always be times when he feels tired, so he would stay by her side, waiting for her to turn around.
"I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I will never get married in my lifetime." Dai Qing looked at him and spoke softly, breaking his last fantasy.
These words should have been said long ago, but she is largely responsible for not saying them until now.
"Okay, I get it. Now that we've talked about it, I also understand that a forced melon won't be sweet, but we're still friends, right?"
Cheng Hao looked at her tense little face, suppressed the depression in his heart, and asked in a cheerful tone.
"Of course, I always consider you a friend." Dai Qing breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, some things are better said in person.
After talking for a while, the two of them talked about their lives and experiences. The atmosphere was quite relaxed and harmonious.
"When are you leaving?" Dai Qing looked at him and asked.
"Are you looking forward to my leaving so much?"
Cheng Hao twitched his lips. This girl was too straightforward. He had just accepted her as a friend, and she turned around and poked his lungs.
When he saw those bright black eyes, Cheng Hao couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"I'm really busy there. If it weren't for Pingzi's wedding, I really wouldn't have the time to come back... The train is tomorrow at noon."
"How about I treat you to dinner tonight? There's a barbecue at the east gate of the Cultural Palace. The grilled lamb chops and grilled fish there are quite famous. Let's go and try them together?"
After talking it out, she no longer felt any burden and had no problem doing it for her friend.
Besides, she will be single from now on, so she won't have any psychological burden to contact anyone.
"No problem. I'll go see if there's anything else I can do with the bottle, and then I'll come find you later."
If you think about it, being friends is not bad. At least we can still get along with each other as before.
"Okay, see you tonight."
Dai Qing stood up, and Cheng Hao walked with her to the bus stop. He watched her get on the bus before turning around and going back to the hotel.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Chang Hui and Pingzi standing together and talking.
"How's it going? Did you send Xiaoqing away?" Zhang Baoping came over. Although he looked tired, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
"Give me a cigarette." Cheng Hao pulled the tie around his neck and reached out to Zhang Baoping.
The two looked at each other, what did they mean?
Why does sending gifts also bring sorrow?
"Did you have a fight with Xiaoqing?"
Chang Hui looked at him and patted his shoulder.
"We are men, we need to be magnanimous. Besides, Xiaoqing is not someone who makes trouble without reason. Did you do something excessive?"
"I agree with what Brother Hui said. Sister Xiaoqing does have a good personality."
Zhang Baoping handed him a cigarette and looked at him with a questioning look.
