Chapter 10 Chapter 10



Chapter 10 Chapter 10

Song Lingxi slept until the afternoon. The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone into the room, shining warmly on the person reading by the window, as if to melt him in the light.

A breeze blew by, ruffling the hair on his forehead lightly. His handsome and innocent features seemed to be covered with a filter, and even his cold gold-rimmed glasses seemed to be tinged with the warmth of the sun.

Song Lingxi has always admitted that Zong Xuecheng is the most handsome man she has ever seen, and the domineering president who is most like her white moonlight. Even his name has more characteristics of an idol drama male lead than Zong Fei.

Zongxue City.

The snowstorm was raging, the sky was dark, the snow mist was everywhere, and there was a city standing in an unknown place.

His appearance, family background, and abilities are all top-notch, and even his name is particularly nice. No wonder Wang Ruowei plunged into it and couldn't get out for more than ten years.

His character and behavior are not commendable. Not to mention to outsiders, he is also cold and ruthless even to his own son.

In the novel, Zong Fei meets the heroine and is saved by her warmth. In the process of getting along with each other, they fall in love with each other and they make an appointment to go to college in the same city.

After Zong Xuecheng knew about it, he found the heroine and first told her that if she was with the hero, he would cut off all financial support to the hero and exclude him from the list of heirs.

That is to say, once Zong Fei is with the heroine, he will be expelled from the Zong family and get nothing.

Then he made a fuss about the heroine's family.

The heroine's original family was not good. Her biological father died early. Later, her mother remarried, and the heroine followed her mother to live in her stepfather's house. Unfortunately, her stepfather was a scumbag who spent his time drinking, gambling, and domestic violence on her mother. The heroine and her mother lived under the shadow of her stepfather for many years, but her character was not dark. On the contrary, she was a strong-willed person with a hopeful heart.

Originally, the heroine planned to take her mother and sister away after finishing the college entrance examination, to start a new life in the city where she studied at university, and completely stay away from her scumbag stepfather.

But the hemp rope is always picking on small details. On the day of the heroine's college entrance examination, the heroine's mother fainted at home with a nosebleed. After a difficult decision, the heroine gave up the exam and sent her mother to the hospital first.

In order to prevent the hero from taking the exam with peace of mind, the heroine did not tell him that she was absent.

Afterwards, the hospital told the heroine that her mother was suffering from leukemia. Not only would the surgery cost a lot of money, but even with a bone marrow transplant, there was a risk of recurrence at any time.

Zong Xuecheng wants the heroine to choose between her mother and Zong Fei.

If she leaves Zong Fei, he will provide the heroine's mother with medical expenses and a sterile environment after the operation, and can even help her solve the problem of her stepfather and his family who are constantly entangled with her and her; if she stays with Zong Fei, she will lose everything.

This is a multiple-choice question in which one party is destined to be abandoned. Once the options are thrown out, the only party that will be abandoned is determined.

The one who was abandoned was Zong Fei.

Zong Fei questioned Zong Xuecheng why he did this. Zong Xuecheng said to Zong Fei like stopping a child who was making trouble, "What you call love is a paradox that goes against human nature. To maintain this ridiculous relationship, you rely on dopamine, beauty, conversation, money, and status."

"Would you fall in love with an ugly old woman with a beautiful soul? Would your girlfriend fall in love with a middle-aged man who is wretched and poor but truly loves her?"

"Everyone is trying to pick the best-looking person and then make themselves fall in love with that person."

Zong Fei wanted to refute but was speechless. He painfully asked the doubt that had been hidden in his heart for many years: As a father, does Zong Xuecheng love him?

Zong Xuecheng replied coldly: "Love is something that only children cry and beg for. Pain is the eternal background of life. Congratulations, you have entered the adult world."

The light in Zong Fei's eyes finally went out, and from then on he seemed to have become the same kind of person as his father Zong Xuecheng, a cold-blooded monster who only cared about interests and who could neither cry nor laugh.

He ended up becoming like his father.

It was not until several years later that Zong Fei met the heroine again and resolved the misunderstanding of that year, and his frozen heart was finally unsealed.

By that time, Zong Xuecheng had passed away for many years. Zong Fei could never refute his father's words again, nor could she tell him that it was human instinct to want to be loved.

He and his father would never be reconciled.

The novel is very vague about when Zong Xuecheng died and what the cause of his death was. We can only guess that he died during the years when Zong Fei and the heroine separated, and other information is unknown.

All in all, he only lived a few years longer than Song Lingxi, the unlucky cannon fodder.

Although his life was short, its impact was not small. The shadow it cast on Zong Fei almost covered one-third of his life.

From this perspective, Zong Xuecheng is really a dog. Fortunately, Zong Fei is strong-willed, otherwise, if she had been raised like this by Zong Xuecheng since she was a child, she would have become a mentally abnormal if she wasn't useless.

After finally growing up and finding the light that could save him, his good family was torn apart by Zong Xuecheng himself.

What’s the difference between a father and son who do this and their enemies?

Song Lingxi felt extremely sympathetic towards Zong Fei. The poor kid not only almost had his father tortured to the point of developing a mental illness, but he also almost lost his wife.

If he wasn't the male protagonist, he would probably have lost his wife.

Apart from novels, there are not so many reunions in this world, and not so many people who wait in the same place for years and refuse to leave.

Most people can never find the original feeling again after they move on, and ultimately regret missing it.

Song Lingxi let out a soft "tsk".

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Zong Xuecheng brought a glass of water and walked to the bedside and handed it to Song Lingxi.

It turned out that Zong Xuecheng had already discovered that she was awake.

Song Lingxi came back to his senses, took the cup of water, and said slowly, "Nothing, just a little tired."

She was certainly tired. Zong Xuecheng tossed her around all night and in the end she didn't even know when it ended.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk, Zong Xuecheng didn't pursue the matter, but said gently, "Are you hungry? I asked them to prepare a meal."

Song Lingxi had slept all day, and his stomach growled when he reminded her. She nodded and said, "It's time to eat."

Song Lingxi took Zong Xuecheng's patient care for granted, as the two had been getting along in this way for many years.

In fact, except for not providing emotional support, everything else about Zong Xuecheng's treatment of his lover is understandable. It's almost the same as being his son. He doesn't provide love, but there is never a shortage of material things.

It's harsh for his son, but as a lover, Song Lingxi, who has always been indifferent to love, likes his character very much. She is more troubled by emotions than Zong Xuecheng, and she is most annoyed by love.

She doesn't have to invest any emotions, and they only see each other a few times a month. When they do meet, she is taken care of and treated gently. Even if they don't see each other often, she doesn't have to worry about Zong Xuecheng messing around with his body outside and causing her to get some disease.

Zong Xuecheng was a man of abnormal self-discipline, especially in his control over his body and desires. For more than ten years, there was only one woman by his side, and they had sex no more than five times a month.

Even Song Lingxi had to admire his amazing control. If she were in Zong Xuecheng's position, with great power in hand, she would definitely not treat her badly. Having men on both sides was the most basic thing for her. He would have a different young hunk every month.

To be fair, as long as you don't ask for love, Zong Xuecheng is the most perfect lover.

Coincidentally, Song Lingxi just doesn't need feelings. He is someone who doesn't require you to invest your emotions, won't disturb you most of the time, can satisfy each other's physical desires, but not often so it won't harm your health, and treats you gently and considerately.

What else do you want a bicycle? It's tailor-made for Song Lingxi. It's Lingxi's first choice, and the lover's choice.

This is also the most important reason why Song Lingxi can remain calm despite being bound by the plot for many years.

As for Zong Xuecheng's sudden madness last night, Song Lingxi didn't take it to heart. It had only happened two or three times in all these years, and the last time was five years ago. She could understand that he would go crazy at regular intervals over a long period of time. After all, everyone would go crazy occasionally.

After getting out of bed, Song Lingxi felt fine and not as tired as she said.

Perhaps because she has always been weak and sickly, Zong Xuecheng seldom attacks fiercely in bed. Most of the time, he would take care of her body and rub it slowly for a long time, which indirectly led to Zong Xuecheng's amazing endurance.

Occasionally, he would open and close her vigorously once or twice, and massage her body afterwards. He would never just care about his own pleasure.

After going downstairs, Zong Xuecheng brought Song Lingxi to the restaurant. The servant had already placed the food on the table. Song Lingxi was eager to eat and pulled out a chair to start eating.

After eating two bites, she suddenly remembered that she had a son. She slapped her head and asked, "Where are Xie Qiao and Zong Fei?"

(Xie Qiao: “…” Thank you for finally remembering that you still have a son, my old mother.)

Zong Xuecheng was sitting next to Song Lingxi, peeling shrimps. When he heard Song Lingxi mention Xie Qiao and Zong Fei, he said calmly, "I like quietness. They don't live here. The younger generation of the Zong family has a special small building."

Only then did Song Lingxi realize that apart from the servant, there seemed to be only her and Zong Lingxi in the villa, and this was not the place where the banquet was held yesterday.

This villa should belong exclusively to Zong Xuecheng in the Zong family.

"Don't worry about them. Someone will take care of them. If you are really worried, I will have someone call them over."

Zong Xuecheng put the shrimp on the plate in front of Song Lingxi and continued to peel another shrimp.

"No."

She wasn't too worried, because Xie Qiao was the type of person who would never let himself suffer any loss. As for Zong Fei, when he stood in front of her and stopped the Song family yesterday, Song Lingxi knew that this kid was just like in the original novel, cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Although it's a bit far-fetched, it would be nice if the protagonist of the novel and his biggest enemy in the future could get along now and resolve their conflicts.

It's good for both of them. Xie Qiao won't have to live such a hard life in the future, and Zong Fei will have one less opponent who almost destroyed the Zong family.

By the way, I almost forgot about Wang Ruowei. Zong Xueqiao should know everything that happened last night, right?

Song Lingxi wanted to ask about Wang Ruowei's situation, but she looked down at herself while eating... Forget it, let's talk about it after dinner. She was afraid that if she asked now, she would not be able to eat the meal.

After dinner, Song Lingxi couldn't wait to ask Zong Xuecheng tactfully, "Mr. Zong, how was Miss Wang Ruowei last night?"

Zong Xuecheng paused, his expression complicated for a moment, then he said nonchalantly: "She's fine, she's already returned to the Wang family."

Song Lingxi was suspicious. Why was Zong Xuecheng so peaceful?

"Then what didn't Miss Wang say?" Didn't she go crazy and cause trouble for her?

Zong Xuecheng: "What do you want her to say?"

Song Lingxi smiled awkwardly. It was best not to look for her, but it was a bit inconsistent with Miss Wang's personality, and it was a bit anticlimactic. She thought she could have fun watching the second episode after the second wave of gossip.

It would be fine if I didn't tell her, but she would go and find out for herself later, she must have a taste of this melon.

"Get up and take a walk. I'll take you to the garden." Zong Xuecheng pretended not to notice Song Lingxi's troubled expression.

“…That’s fine.”

Song Lingxi has a weak constitution and will feel uncomfortable with indigestion if he does not exercise after a meal. He has no choice but to take a walk after every meal to help digest the food, but sometimes Song Lingxi finds it troublesome and takes a lazy walk.

Zong Xuecheng knew her problem, and whenever they met and had dinner, he would definitely ask her to do something. Song Lingxi also knew that it was for her own good, and most of the time she would not refuse Zong Xuecheng.

The weather today is surprisingly beautiful. When I walked out, I found that the sky had changed color without me noticing. The pink sea of ​​clouds and sunset glow continued to spread to the east. In the blink of an eye, even the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows turned pink, as if a layer of pink window paint had been applied in an instant.

This was the first time Song Lingxi had seen such a spectacle in his life, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How beautiful!"

Not only is it beautiful, magnificent and stunning, nature is truly magical. In comparison, human beings are so insignificant.

Song Lingxi suddenly felt enlightened and carefree, and even his attitude towards Zong Xuecheng became much more sincere. He turned to Zong Xuecheng and smiled, and asked jokingly: "Is your garden as beautiful as the sky today?"

Zong Xuecheng was stunned, and he leaned over and looked down at Song Lingxi for a long time before turning his head back, "Go and take a look and you'll know."

Song Lingxi did not comment, and the two of them walked along the cobblestone path towards the garden and greenhouse.

The Zong family garden is no different from the gardens of ordinary wealthy families. Roses are planted in both. However, the Zong family garden is very ingenious. You can't see the whole thing at a glance. There are winding paths leading to secluded places with deep flowers and trees.

Song Lingxi and Zong Xuecheng stepped into the garden path. On both sides were flower trellises made of orange roses. In front was a cluster of pure white roses. Their branches were intertwined and tangled, forming clusters and petals, pure and beautiful.

The sky in the distance is both vast and close, and the pink clouds dye the pure white rose pink.

"Wow!" Song Lingxi exclaimed, and couldn't help but leave Zong Xuecheng behind and run out of the flower stand path and ran to the end.

Without the flower stand blocking the view, a sea of ​​roses suddenly appeared in front of Song Lingxi. Large patches of roses swayed in the breeze. There were white roses, red roses, pink roses, green roses... clusters of roses of all kinds. Compared with the view restricted by the flower stand path, where only white roses could be seen, they were nothing compared to the roses.

As if he didn't dare to wake up the roses, Song Lingxi quietly and carefully raised his feet and ran into the sea of ​​flowers.

It's so beautiful here. Song Lingxi was really happy. He turned around and waved to Zong Xuecheng, "Come over here quickly. It's so beautiful. Your garden is as beautiful as the sunset!"

The evening breeze blew her long hair, and she stood in the sea of ​​roses, looking back and smiling.

Zong Xuecheng suddenly put down his phone and walked towards her calmly.

"Do you have business?" Seeing him take out his cell phone, Song Lingxi thought someone was looking for him, so he said tactfully, "If you have something to do, you don't have to accompany me. I will go home by myself after visiting the garden."

Zong Xuecheng had no expression after hearing her words. "It's okay, let's go."

"Okay then." Song Lingxi didn't really care whether he was okay or not. She felt more confident when her master took her to visit his own garden. Otherwise, she, an outsider, would feel embarrassed to wander around in someone else's home.

Seeing him taking out the phone, Song Lingxi thought of something, took out his own phone, turned on the camera mode, and then handed the phone to Zong Xuecheng.

"Hurry up, take some nice pictures for me."

Zong Xuecheng: “…”

Zong Xuecheng took Song Lingxi's phone, and Song Lingxi quickly posed, and after several poses, Song Lingxi took the phone to check the results.

Don’t say it, really don’t say it, Song Lingxi was shocked, Zong Xuecheng took such a good-looking photo of himself.

No, she is so beautiful, it is natural that she should look good in photos!

Song Lingxi looked at the photos happily and decided to choose one from these photos as her tombstone photo. She was such a big beauty, she wanted to be the most beautiful even in the cemetery.

Zong Xuecheng didn't know what Song Lingxi was thinking, and was a little surprised: "You like it so much?"

"Hehe, I like it, I like it. I'm really beautiful." Song Lingxi replied perfunctorily.

Zong Xuecheng: “…” He hadn’t seen the word “humble” on Song Lingxi for more than ten years.
