Author: Liaowumian MACHINE TRANSLATION
Zhao Dantong had recently found a part-time job as a tutor and soon disappeared from Song Beibei’s sight.
Song Beibei looked at the busy background and suddenly felt a little envious.
Dantong was a girl with dreams and ambitions. She would definitely have great prospects in the future. Song Beibei had always felt this way.
Therefore, she decided to help her.
Even though she did not have much confidence in herself.
Song Beibei did not have any classes, but she did not want to go home.
She went to the library alone and, intentionally or unintentionally, went to the seat that he yucheng usually occupied.
Sure enough, she saw he Yucheng’s figure there.
Song Beibei stood there and did not take another step forward.
However, he Yucheng was slightly startled when he saw her. Then, he tidied up the books on the table, held them in his arms, and walked over.
Song Beibei looked at the youth’s expressionless face and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
In the end, she had lied to him.
He should be very angry.
Ever since she came out of the cinema last time, she had not given he yucheng a formal explanation.
He Yucheng had not taken the initiative to look for her either.
However, if he Yucheng was really angry with her, why did he come to pick her up drunk yesterday?
Moreover, the incident last night had always been a knot in Song Beibei’s heart.
How did he hand himself over to Gu Yanqing?
He Yucheng walked to her side and said in his usual low and calm voice, “will you accompany me to the field for a walk? ”
The Sun was about to set.
The horizon was bright red, like a large flame burning.
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two people on the field very long.
After walking around in silence for half a circle, Song Beibei finally spoke first. “I’m sorry, AH Cheng. I didn’t mean to lie to you. ”
“I know. ” He Yucheng turned around.
Song Beibei looked at him in surprise. “actually, things between Gu Yanqing and I aren’t what you think. My mother passed away when I spoke. She’s been in our family for several generations
“My father was later diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. At that time, I was only five years old. Before my father passed away, he found me a son-in-law. This matter is complicated. In short, both of US signed a marriage contract involuntarily “He obtained the wealth and fame of the song family. As for me, when I was growing up, there was someone who cut through all the obstacles for me. We each got what we wanted. ”
He Yucheng stopped in his tracks and suddenly laughed. “Gu Yanqing is the son-in-law of your Song Family? ”
Song Beibei was stunned for a moment. She also felt that this statement was a little ridiculous, but she still nodded and said, “it’s more or less the same. Anyway, he signed the contract. He has to marry me before he can take over the Pearl Group. ”
He Yucheng seemed to sigh. “I didn’t expect you to be the daughter of the Pearl Group. ”
Song Beibei seemed to be in a hurry to explain something. “I can’t change my identity. Besides, the Pearl Group basically belongs to Gu Yanqing now. That old man is ten years older than me. There’s a generation gap between us. We’re not from the same world. The person I hate the most is him. Ah Cheng, I didn’t mean to lie to you… … Actually, the person I like is .. It’s… . .”
Song Beibei some Stutter, but “you” the word in the mouth, coiled in the tongue, but has been unable to spit out.
He Yucheng looked at her, eyes like a touch of similar pain emotion, he said: “The person you like, is me? ”
Song Beibei looked up at him, face already red, finally nodded, said seriously: “He Yucheng, I like you, I want to be with you. ”
He Yucheng saw Song Beibei’s serious eyes and serious expression. She was as devout as a little white pigeon in front of a church.
It was tempting to love her, but it was also heartbreaking.
If it was in the past, Song Beibei would have said such things to him, and he would have been very happy.
But after last night… …
He Yucheng smiled faintly. “Beibei, the person you like isn’t me. ”
Song Beibei was stunned and a little anxious. “Ah Cheng, WHAT’S WRONG? ”
He Yucheng said, “you already gave me an answer last night. ”
Last night!
It was last night again!
What exactly happened last night? ! !
In fact, she could probably guess her reaction from Unche Zhou and the others.
After all, they said that last night, she was like a piece of gum sticking to Gu Yanqing.
Song Beibei was about to fly into a rage. “I was drunk last night. You can’t believe what I say when I’m drunk, can you? ”
He Yucheng looked at her seriously for a while. “Beibei, there’s a saying that goes, ‘speak the truth when you’re drunk’ . ”
Song Beibei was really angry. Gu Yanqing had said that, and now he Yucheng had said the same thing.
He Yucheng’s expression seemed a little sad. “Beibei, you don’t like me, you like Gu Yanqing. ”
Song Beibei was stunned, as if she had been struck by lightning. She said in disbelief, “nonsense! How could I like that old man? ”
He Yucheng continued, “maybe, you know very well, or maybe, you just don’t want to admit it, or maybe, you and… … There’s some misunderstanding between them, but Beibei, I’m also a man. I can sense it with my manly intuition. I’m just your shield. The person you like is him.”
For some reason, when Song Beibei heard these words, her heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.
She was anxious to explain, “No, I’m not using you as a shield. ”
He Yucheng said, “Beibei, I really like you. Perhaps you don’t know this, but from the moment I first met you, I was deeply attracted to you. That was two years earlier than the so-called first time we met. That’s why when you asked me to help you with your homework in the third year of high school, I was so excited that I didn’t sleep the whole night. At that time, half an hour in the afternoon was the best time of my high school. ”
Song Beibei raised her head to look at he Yucheng.
This youth’s face was very fair. The rays of the setting sun shone on his face, as if there was a layer of faint silhouette, imprinted with a layer of warmth.
Just like how he Yucheng had always given her a feeling, although his appearance was a little dull, in fact, it was very warm.
He Yucheng continued, “but I don’t want you to be confused with me. I’m afraid that you’ll regret it in the future. There’s someone in your heart, and this person occupies the most important position in your heart. I can’t replace him. At least for now, I feel that I haven’t been able to enter your heart at all. Beibei, let’s separate. Before we start, I don’t want to see you deceive yourself… “… “…”
Song Beibei felt her heart ache at this moment.
But more than that, she was furious She almost lost control of herself and shouted at He Yucheng, “why do all of you think that I like Gu Yanqing? Let me tell you, I don’t like him. I hate him. In this world, the person I hate the most is him All of you think that you’re all right. All of you have been bribed by Gu Yanqing, haven’t you? Why must you tie me to that old man? Only then will you be happy Have you asked for my opinion Do you know that I’m going crazy living with that old man? I hate to face that face every day. I don’t like Gu Yanqing. I don’t like Gu Yanqing at all… … …”
Song Beibei started to sob as she spoke.
He Yucheng frowned. His heart ached. He took a step forward and hugged Song Beibei in his arms.
She was very thin. It was as if it was the first time he had seen her.
At that time, he Yucheng was wondering if hugging a girl like this was like hugging a cat.
Song Beibei was pulled into his arms and started crying without any scruples. As she cried, she tried to defend herself, “I don’t like Gu Yanqing. I don’t like him at all. He Yucheng, the person I like is you. I don’t want to break up with you… ”
He Yucheng gently stroked Song Beibei’s long hair His voice was actually a little choked up, “Song Beibei, I like you very much. I really like you very much. But I can’t be so selfish. I’m afraid that I’ll hold you tightly in the future. I’m afraid that you’ll fall into pain and conflict. I’m afraid that I’ll become unscrupulous. I’m afraid that I’ll become the cage that traps you. Beibei, I’m afraid that you… … will hate me. I like you so much that I chose to let you go. At least if I leave you now, at least I will leave a small place in your heart … ..
He Yucheng did not expect that he Yucheng would actually shed tears. That kind of feeling with a kind of oppression and pain made Song Beibei’s heart feel even more terrible.
He Yucheng hugged her tightly. “Bei Bei, I hope you won’t run away. There’s a door in your heart. I hope you can calmly open it and see what your heart is like. It doesn’t matter if you like Gu Yanqing or hate him. I hope you can be brave and see the truth of your heart. Don’t be like last night. When you smile, your tears will come out. It’s too heartbreaking. ”
—– –
Song Beibei didn’t know how she got back to the maple courtyard villa.
She only knew that she cried in he Yucheng’s arms for a long time that day.
At that time, there were many people running on the field, and when they passed by, they would always give them strange looks.
After Song Beibei returned, she went straight to her room.
When she went upstairs just now, she bumped into Unche Zhou.
He said that Mr. Gu had come back a long time ago and was now in the kitchen, personally cooking a lot of good dishes and waiting for her to have dinner with him.
Song Beibei did not have the appetite to eat dinner.
After returning to her room without saying a word, she lay on the bed and buried her head in a pile of soft pillows.
She felt uncomfortable in her heart.
It was probably because of a first love that had almost died before it had even started… …
When she thought of the word “first love” for some reason, the image of Gu Yanqing’s face appeared in her mind.
Song Beibei shook her head vigorously.
She had to forcefully delete Gu Yanqing from her mind.
“What are you doing? Learning how to burrow like a groundhog? ”
A familiar teasing voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this voice, Song Beibei flew into a rage.
She suddenly sat up from the bed. “Uncle Gu! It’s basic manners to knock on the door when you come in! Didn’t your primary school teacher teach you that? ”
Gu Yanqing was already standing on the edge of the bed. He was wearing an apron.
Although it wasn’t ugly at all, it was still somewhat comical when compared to his usual dapper appearance in a suit and tie.
Gu Yanqing didn’t seem to care about Song Beibei’s anger at all. He said faintly, “I’ve long forgotten what the primary school teacher taught me back then. ”
Song Beibei didn’t say anything. She glared at him angrily like a small teapot that was boiling hot.
Gu Yanqing looked at her sitting cross-legged on the bed and stared at him. He actually found it a little funny.
His heart softened for some reason. “Alright, alright. I’ve made dinner. You can tidy up and go to the dining room for dinner. ”
Song Beibei was not as happy as usual when she heard Gu Yanqing cooking personally.
Instead, she turned around angrily and buried her head in the pillow again. “I won’t eat it. I won’t eat anything you cook in the future. ”
Gu Yanqing stood where he was and was silent for a while. Then, he said, “you’re fine. Why are you throwing a Tantrum again? ”
“Who’s fine with you? Gu Yanqing, get out. I don’t want to see you! ”
Gu Yanqing was not angry, nor did he go out.
He only said lightly, “I made steamed meat, chicken wings with honey sauce, Longjing shrimp, and your favorite curry beef brisket. ”
After saying that, Gu Yanqing turned around and left.
Song Beibei was so depressed that she could die.
In her heart, she cursed Gu Yanqing for being cunning, despicable, and shameless!
On the other side, she had already stood up and followed Gu Yanqing to the restaurant with a resentful gaze.
Half a year!
For a whole half a year, Song Beibei hadn’t eaten the dishes that Gu Yanqing personally cooked.
The last time he was so happy, he had come down to the mortal world on a whim to cook once. Because this old man was temperamental, he had actually eaten all of it.
At this moment, Lucky was squatting at her feet, staring at Song Beibei as she chewed on the chicken wings.
The saliva in his mouth was like a tap that had broken.
However, even though Lucky was a husky, it had been disciplined by Gu Yanqing.
Therefore, Song Beibei had always thought that Gu Yanqing was too perverted, to be able to tame a Husky like a sheepdog.
If it didn’t have an order, it definitely wouldn’t have dared to eat at the table by itself. It could only do what it was doing now, drooling with bright eyes.
Song Beibei even deliberately picked up a piece of chicken wing and placed it in front of Lucky, ordering, “don’t eat it! ”
Lucky was simply frantic. It circled around the chicken wing and whimpered. Every time it opened its mouth, Song Beibei would give an order, “Lucky, don’t eat it! ”
In the end, Lucky laid on the ground, feeling very wronged. It simply lied its head over and whimpered softly, its tail hanging down.
Song Beibei was very pleased with herself. She felt as if she had gotten her revenge.
Just as Song Beibei was “torturing” Lucky, Gu Yanqing glanced at her and said, “Lucky, eat. ”
Lucky, who was almost in despair, swallowed the chicken wing in one gulp when he heard Gu Yanqing’s voice. It was as if he had received a special pardon.
He ignored Song Beibei, who was yelling “don’t eat” at the side.
In the end, he even turned his back and pointed his fat butt at Song Beibei.
Song Beibei was angry. “Why do you always go against me? ”
Gu Yanqing looked at her with amusement. “What kind of wicked taste is this? ”
“who asked it to finish all the food you cooked last time, not leaving any for me! ”
After Song Beibei finished speaking, she and Gu Yanqing were both stunned.
However, after a while, Gu Yanqing suddenly laughed. It was a cheerful and cheerful smile.
Song Beibei scolded herself for being useless!
If she showed Gu Yanqing that she liked his cooking so much, wouldn’t he be even more smug in the future?
Gu Yanqing smiled for a while and said, “why are you arguing with Lucky? If you like my cooking, I’ll cook for you often in the future. ”
Song Beibei said in a muffled voice, “who likes your cooking? Don’t flatter yourself, okay? I’m only eating because I’m giving you face. ”
Gu Yanqing was obviously in a good mood and had no intention of arguing with her. “Then I really have to thank Madam for giving me face. ”
