In the middle of the night, I was woken up by a gust of cold wind. I slept on the table for so long that my whole body was aching. When I tried to get up, the jacket on my shoulder slipped away.
He subconsciously searched for traces of Li Tianyi, but couldn't find him even after looking around the surroundings for a few times. "Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu …"
"Director Li, are you there?"
I rubbed my sore arms as I stood up, shouting as I thought that Li Tianyi might have left ahead of time. However, just as I was about to pack up and leave, I saw Li Tianyi's lonely figure standing upright on the other side of the balcony.
Perhaps the night was too enchanting, or perhaps the afternoon spent together was too beautiful. So much so that when I look at Li Tianyi's figure at this moment, I actually feel a bit of heartache in my heart.
At first, I wanted to greet him, but I was afraid of disturbing him. Thus, after I walked over, I quietly stayed by his side, watching the cars at the foot of the building as the lights blurred.
The night breeze brought with it a slight chill. Specks of starlight hung in the sky, reflecting the ice-cold moonlight. Inexplicably, I felt that the atmosphere at this moment is very warm, making me unable to break the current silence.
"Have you ever loved anyone?"
I originally thought that Li Tianyi didn't notice my existence at all, so when he asked me this question, I couldn't help but be shocked. After I understood his question, I couldn't help but give him a strange look.
In his heart, he thought, how could someone like Li Tianyi be disturbed by matters of the heart? Shouldn't he be able to get whatever kind of woman he wants?
Even though my mind was in a mess, I didn't forget to answer Li Tianyi: "No." But I think I should be very happy to be able to love someone. "
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too good, my nervous heart gradually calmed down in front of Li Tianyi and naturally, I started to talk a lot.
"And if they don't love you at all, do you think it's a very happy thing to have a lover?"
Li Tianyi turned around and looked at me with fiery hot eyes. His eyes were filled with an urgent expression. I was at a loss for words. After a pause, I insisted, "It's still better than living alone. Even if you love me but don't want to, you still have a trust in your heart to keep you going, don't you? "
I've been living in that little town all this time, and I still have a very shallow understanding of love. However, what he said to Li Tianyi was true.
Li Tianyi probably didn't think that words like these could come out of the mouth of someone like me. While staring blankly for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me with interest, then asked, "Then do you have someone you love?"
"Me?" Li Tianyi's words made me feel somewhat amused. I couldn't help but point at my nose, then shook my head and said, "I don't think so. I actually liked a person."
"Oh? Would you mind telling me? "
Li Tianyi gave me a very different feeling tonight. His cold aura no longer existed, and what replaced it was an amiable attitude.
It made me relax. Furthermore, ever since I was young, there weren't many people who could listen to my thoughts. Before, I was one of them, but now, things have changed.
Thinking up to here, I couldn't help but bitterly smile. When I spoke to Li Tianyi, my voice also carried a trace of hoarseness. "That guy studied everything with his good looks. He helped me several times in the past. When I was young, things like that happened naturally, but …"
I spoke in a very flat tone, but when I thought of what had happened afterwards, I still felt very sad.
Li Tianyi did not notice that something was wrong, but seeing that I had stopped talking, he could not help but anxiously ask, "But what is it?"
I raised my eyes to look at Li Tianyi, then slowly retracted my gaze back to a place not far away, and indifferently said, "But later on, that guy publicly slandered me for the guy she liked, and called me a bitch. In short, he said all sorts of nasty things in front of everyone in the class."
No one knew how embarrassed I was at that time after experiencing such a scene. He could still vaguely remember how young and vigorous he was at that time, and how he couldn't stand to be scolded like that by someone he liked. Thus, he retorted back with a sharp tongue for the first time.
However, the result was still very injurious. In the end, I was directly pressed down by a group of students until my entire body was wounded. I couldn't even crawl back up.
Even after the students had left, he still laid on the ground for a long time before he limped home. At that time, I was still naively hoping that when I returned home, I would have a mother. Even if she wasn't normally good to me, when she saw the ghastly look on my daughter's face, she would at least comfort me a little.
The imagination, in the end, is that not only did I not get any consolation when I returned home, but because the commotion of my return was too great, and because I appeared in front of the guests with a body full of scars, saying that I had upset the appetite of the guests and scared the guests away. In the end, the guest went to my foster mother and pretended to have no interest.
Since when had my foster mother suffered such humiliation? She immediately vented all of her anger on me and whipped my already scarred body.
That day really became one of my worst nightmares in my life. I couldn't remember how I cried and went back to my room, but now that I thought about it, my heart would still ache with hate and my body would uncontrollably tremble.
"Then you must be very sad."
Li Tianyi had already shifted his gaze to another direction just now, so he naturally didn't notice my current expression. However, the way he replied me still had a trace of pity in his voice.
As I listened, I really wanted to cry. I tried my best to sniff and suppress my emotions. I walked to Li Tianyi's side and stood by his side. I lowered my head to look at the scenery below the building. Suddenly, I felt a sense of absent-mindedness.
"Being sad is only a moment. I believe that as long as I work hard, there will be a day when I will make those people who look down on me turn around and curry favor with me."
I took a deep breath, and when I said these words to Li Tianyi, I was filled with determination. No matter what, no matter how difficult this goal is, I will achieve it.
When Li Tianyi heard this, he bent down and started laughing. He shook his head helplessly as if he felt that my current attitude was too naive and laughable. "Your ambition is not small at all."
"If a person doesn't have the slightest bit of ambition, then wouldn't they have no fun at all?"
The night is too seductive, at this moment, in front of Li Tianyi, my courage unconsciously increased, and I fearlessly told him the thoughts in my heart.
Li Tianyi said no more and faintly smiled. It was unknown if he was silently agreeing with what I had said or if there was some other meaning behind it.
Afterwards, the two of them did not speak any further. They just stood there quietly, blowing the night wind, feeling the rare tranquility and comfort …
And because of this night, I clearly discovered that my relationship with Li Tianyi was getting closer and closer.
