Jiang Lai is rarely so serious, and I feel an indescribable uneasiness in my heart.
It seemed as if something was about to be destroyed.
I looked at Jiang Lai steadily and pursed my lips. "I'm mentally prepared. Go ahead."
"actually……"
Jiang Lai said it with difficulty, gritting his teeth, and finally said with all his strength: "When you were in college, the person who sent you to the school clinic and brought you food was not Fu Qichuan!"
Not Fu Qichuan?
My head buzzed, and a flash of emptiness passed by, and I was completely stunned.
It took me a while to come back to my senses. It felt like a heavy stone was pressing on my chest. My voice trembled, "Really?"
In fact, I know that this is true.
Jiang Lai knew too well how important this matter was to me. If she wasn't absolutely sure, she wouldn't have told me this.
only……
Then what do these little likes of mine mean?
Jiang Lai nodded, "Yeah."
"Then... the person who really helped me..."
I took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "Actually, it was Senior Lu?"
Jiang Lai was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?!"
"No wonder it's like this..."
I answered the question irrelevantly, but my heart was filled with waves of sadness.
No wonder.
No wonder Fu Qichuan always thought that the person I liked was Lu Shiyan, and he repeatedly suspected the relationship between Lu Shiyan and me.
No wonder he was so flustered when I told him that I fell in love with him because of this.
He also asked me if I would still like him if he hadn't helped me.
I should have thought of it earlier!
I was too prejudiced, and the authorities were confused...
It seems that I have been desperately chasing so many lights, but none of them have ever lit up for me.
He never showed me his tenderness even for a moment.
He didn't like me, but he just watched me coldly. Because I recognized the wrong person, I suffered a lot of injustice and fell into an embarrassing situation at his hands.
No wonder that gun was pointed at me without hesitation.
It's always been my wishful thinking!
Always!!
Jiang Lai looked out the window and suddenly said, "Ruan Ruan, it's snowing! The weather forecast said it would snow yesterday, but it didn't. I thought it wouldn't snow!"
I turned my head and looked outside. Snowflakes were swirling down. If nothing unexpected happened, the ground would be covered with a layer of white snow by evening.
[The weather forecast says it will snow this Sunday. Will I help you build a snowman?]
This sentence suddenly popped into my mind.
I couldn't help laughing, and as I laughed, I tasted a hint of saltiness.
They're all lies.
It's all fake.
The day he told me he would come build a snowman with me, he pointed a gun at me.
He announced the good news about his relationship with another woman on the day it actually snowed!
Fu Qichuan, you are so hypocritical.
You watched me coldly as I fell in love with the wrong person, and never reminded me...
You clearly don't love me, but you enjoy my liking for you in a despicable way!
I murmured, "I was wrong..."
I was so wrong.
"Ruan Ruan?"
Jiang Lai took out several tissues and wiped my tears. "Be good, this isn't your fault. No one thought it would be the wrong person. In the end... it's all fate."
Is it God's will?
I don't know how long I cried before I calmed down, curled up on the sofa, and looked out the window with empty eyes.
The snow is still falling.
I can't explain how I feel at this moment.
When I went through all these things, I felt wronged, sad, and hopeless...
But at that moment, several emotions were mixed in my heart, and what was more important was unwillingness.
It's not worth it for myself.
“Ding Dong——”
The doorbell rang.
"The takeaway I ordered should have arrived! It's snowing so hard, let's have hotpot tonight!"
Jiang Lai ran barefoot to open the door, but was stunned when he opened it. "Lu Shiyan, you... came to see Ruan Ruan?"
"Um."
Lu Shiyan smiled gently, walked in, and looked at me while changing into slippers. "How do you feel Tiantian? Is it still painful?"
It had only been one night, but when I saw him again at this time, I felt a little ashamed.
He is the one who helped me.
Lu Shiyan saw me in a daze, walked over and smiled: "What are you thinking about?"
"No."
I collected my thoughts, shook my head hastily, and answered his question, "Much better. It doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday."
"That's good."
He placed a bag in his hand on the coffee table. "I went to the hospital and got you some scar removal medicine. The wound on your body is not light. Although it is not on your face, you still have to be careful to avoid leaving scars."
Maybe it was because I knew that, I felt a little guilty, but also a little grateful, so I was extra obedient. "Yes, yes, I'll use it when I change the dressing tonight."
"Slow down for a moment."
The heater was turned on in the house. Lu Shiyan took off his brown down jacket and explained with a chuckle, "Scar removal medicine can only be used after the wound begins to heal."
"good."
I nodded and took note.
Just as Jiang Lai was about to close the shop, the takeaway arrived. She carried the takeaway into the kitchen and said, "Leave dinner to me tomorrow. You just sit back and wait for it to be served."
Hot pot is the simplest dish and does not require any test of her cooking skills.
Lu Shiyan and I both had no objection.
There was a slight sound of clinking dishes in the kitchen. Lu Shiyan looked at me with a sidelong glance, his eyes slightly fixed. "Did you cry just now?"
"……Um."
I'm not denying anything.
For eight whole years, I fell in love with the wrong person because I misunderstood the favor.
It's worth crying about.
If I'm not mistaken, I might not fall so deeply in love with Fu Qichuan.
He is bright and clear, he is aloof and noble, but I would never dare to regard him as my own light and fall into his trap easily.
At most, I will be like others, having a brief liking for something, and after graduation, it will be over.
Lu Shiyan felt helpless, but misunderstood, and comforted her: "Love requires fate. You were about to divorce, and now that he has announced the marriage, you can let it go sooner..."
"Senior,"
I suddenly interrupted him, looking at the gentle and soft lines of his cheeks. After trying to hold back, I couldn't help but ask, "You've always... known that I was wrong, right?"
He frowned slightly, "What?"
"I just found out that you were the one who helped me in college."
I looked at him seriously and spoke softly, "Why... never told me?"
He was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on my face, "I was afraid that you would be sad, just like now."
I asked cautiously, "Do you mind? I have always remembered your kindness to Fu Qichuan..."
Although, he already had someone he liked.
But it is understandable that people who do good things want to hear a "thank you".
"No problem."
He curled the corners of his lips and looked at me without blinking, his expression as gentle as jade. "I can wait, until the day you are willing to look at me, until you are no longer obsessed with him."
This time, it was my turn to be stunned.
The meaning of his words couldn't be clearer.
But, doesn't he already like so many people...
All in all, he and I have only known each other for a little over eighty years.
I raised my lips and it took me a long time to find my voice. "What did you say?"
