It was too late at night, and only a few lights in the corridor were emitting a weak light.
The man’s tall and straight body stood in front of her, almost blocking out all the light above her head. Because he was too close to her, she took a deep breath, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. “I’M NOT! ”
She endured the pain and pulled out her jawbone from his hand, saying almost without any emotion, “you’re not my husband, and you’re not even my boyfriend. What right do I have to be angry? ”
After saying that, she wanted to go around him, but he reached out to stop her. “You’re not my husband or my boyfriend, but you can sleep with a man who’s not even in a relationship? ”
Song Guo’s beautiful eyes quickly became misty. She really wanted to act like she didn’t care about anything, but it was too difficult. It was really too difficult.
“Have you never seen such a woman before? Then shouldn’t you say thank you to me? Thank me for opening your eyes! ”
She turned her head and wiped the tears off her face. “Yes, you’re right. I’m such a shallow woman. I can sleep with a man who isn’t related to me at all! ”
He was just angry that she would naturally cut off her relationship with him when something happened. However, at this moment, he felt that she had never admitted their relationship subjectively.
If he wasn’t her husband or boyfriend, then who was he to her?
Was He the father of her child, or was he someone of the opposite sex that she could talk to?
Or was he a way to comfort her when she was bored?
“Song Guo, what do you have to do to love me properly? Hmm? Tell me. ”
When she was on her period, he would rub her stomach. When she was in danger or wronged, he would even give up his life. How could he not please her in his current state?
His hands gripped both sides of her arms tightly. She was in so much pain that her shoulders tightened as she kept hiding. “Lin Nancheng, let go of me. I have nothing more to say to you! ”
She had said and done what she had to say, but it was nothing compared to the few seconds when warmth appeared.
He had promised her that he would pursue her properly, and he had also said that he would try to love her. However, warmth had lived in his world for more than ten years, and she only had a few short months. It was too difficult for her to replace warmth.
She did not want to be someone’s substitute. That would be too sad.
“Song Guo, why are you always like this every time we quarrel? You don’t want to say anything, and you don’t listen to me. Are you only satisfied if you want to drive me crazy? ”
With that, he directly kicked over the decorative vase at the side. The white porcelain vase that was half the height of a person instantly fell to the ground, making crackling sounds and scattering pieces on the ground.
When the man had kicked over the vase, his overly tall body had already covered the woman’s petite body, blocking all the glass shards that flew over for her.
He did not know when it started, but even his anger and reproach seemed to be insincere. He could not even do the slightest thing to hurt her.
If this was not love, then it really did not make sense.
It was just that… … He really did not know what Love was …
Or perhaps, no one had taught him what Love was.
His love experience was very simple, and could even be said to be a complete blank.
Other than Song Guo, he had only spent time with warmth.
In the past, they had said that he treated warmth very differently. He thought that it was love, but in reality, what he had done to Song Guo far exceeded what he had done to warmth.
He had just never made a comparison and thought that all feelings were the same, but how could feelings be the same?
“Lin Nancheng, what right do you have to say these words to accuse me of my actions? ”
She reached out to push him, but he did not budge a single inch. She could only calm herself down first. After about ten seconds, she slowly and calmly said, “Why aren’t you willing to say ‘I don’t love you anymore’ to her? Instead, you’re saying ‘we’re already in the past’ to her? ”
“This kind of words can easily mislead a woman, do you know that? ”
He thought that he had already said it clearly and clearly, but in reality, his lenient words would make a woman feel that she still had a chance to try.
Lin Nancheng stared at her with his sea-like eyes and said with certainty, “Guo Guo, tell me, are you jealous? ”
“You can think whatever you want! ”
“Guo Guo, when I was with you, I never thought about what I would have with other women, so I think that ‘we are in the past’ and ‘I don’t love you anymore’ have the same effect. They both clearly tell her that I have a woman I like, and I don’t love her anymore! ”
Lin Nancheng’s voice was particularly low and hoarse in the somewhat empty corridor, and it even carried a charming power.
Song Guo looked up at him until the night shift nurse started to make ward rounds. Then she tilted her head and looked to the side with a slight smile in her voice. “Is that so? Then take it that I misunderstood and judged a gentleman’s stomach with a villain’s heart! ”
At this point, she lowered her head and said slowly, “let the nurse take care of you at night. I’ve been sleeping in the hospital these few days, and I haven’t even had a good shower. I want to go back and have a good shower and sleep, then… ”
“I’ll leave first! ”
After saying that, she tried to escape from him again, but she still didn’t succeed.
He caught up with her in a few steps and stood in front of her. “Guo Guo, I don’t want to quarrel with you, and I don’t want to force you. Go back and calm down and think about this problem between me and her. Come and find me when you’re done. I’ll wait for you here. ”
After hearing that, Song Guo nodded with a smile. “Okay, I’ll calm down and think about you, warmth, and the problem between me! ”
This relationship had never been a problem between her and Lin Nancheng.
Between them was the distance between the Lin family and the song family, as well as the warmth of someone she had never wanted to mention or dared to mention.
Putting everything in front of her now was forced by the situation, and it was also a reality that she had to face sooner or later.
Since she had to face it sooner or later, it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with facing it early. At least she wouldn’t feel the sense of betrayal and helplessness after pouring her heart out.
“It’s cold at night. You should go back and rest early. I’m leaving first. ”
These words almost came out of his mouth without thinking. Treating him well seemed to have become an instinctive habit, a habit that he couldn’t quit.
“Wait, I’ll get someone to send you back! ”
“There’s no need. Lend me your car. I can drive myself back. ”
Before Song Guo fell in love with him, she had always been independent and independent.
She could go to work alone, fix broken electric lights, fix a leaky faucet, and even take care of Xin Qiao and her career at the same time.
But ever since he had disturbed her heart and given her so many good illusions, she had lost herself.
She began to worry about gains and losses. She began to bicker about who would love whom more. She even felt that she was someone’s substitute.
When these feelings were greater than the sweetness of love, the quarrels and doubts between them would increase. She did not want to become a stranger with him, much less become enemies with him.
She really could abandon love, but he could not give her hope for love and let her see the sorrow of love.
The man looked at the loneliness between her brows and said calmly, “I’ll send you back. ”
“No need… ”
“Guoguo, it’s three o’clock in the morning. Do you think I’ll let you go back by yourself? ”
Knowing that she couldn’t persuade him, Song Guo didn’t say anything more. Instead, she nodded very, very gently, tacitly agreeing with him.
“Let’s go! ”
The man took the lead and walked towards the elevator. Song Guo followed behind him, walking towards the end of the corridor step by step.
His back was tall and straight, but in this late autumn night, he seemed a little desolate and lonely.
She had never dared to imagine that a man like him, who had achieved so much, would be able to see words that did not match him at all.
She thought, these years, he must not have been easy, right?
Being hurt by the woman he loved deeply, experiencing the ups and downs of his family and career, those difficult days were all endured by him through gritted teeth alone.
Presumably… … He must have drunk a lot of wine and smoked a lot of cigarettes …
Just like a few days ago, when he came back drunk, his body was covered with the thick smell of tobacco!
Frustrated, indifferent, and cold.
His footsteps were very fast, and she had to jog to keep up with him. When the elevator door was about to close, she ran in and saw the man beside her leaning against the wall, thinking about something!
She did not take the initiative to talk to him, or to be more precise, she did not know what to say to ease the awkward situation at the moment.
After more than ten seconds, the elevator landed steadily in the hall on the first floor.
The moment the elevator door opened, the man did not wait for her, but took the lead to walk out.
Song Guo followed behind him and walked out. After hesitating for a while, she said softly, “Lin Nancheng, I think… I’ll go back on my own! ”
His body was filled with anger that no one dared to touch. She did not know how to calm it down and could only leave.
When Lin Nancheng heard her words, he suddenly stopped and looked back at her. She did not understand and could only stop and wait for him to speak.
The man took a deep breath and walked to her side in a few large strides. “Guoguo, am I not important to you at all? If you want it, you can have it. If you don’t want it, you can throw it away. ”
“I… I don’t understand what you’re talking about. ”
The man smiled and his voice was as deep as water. “So far, how many times have you broken up with me? How many times have you told me that you want to leave and that I want to calm down? ”
“I think you can’t even remember clearly, right? ”
Song Guo wanted to speak, but she couldn’t say anything when the words were on the tip of her tongue. She could only wait for him to continue.
And this reaction was the perfect proof of his words. It also made him completely lose confidence in this relationship. “I knew it! I shouldn’t have had any hope for you. I hope you’ll remember. ”
With that, he sneered and turned around to continue walking. He didn’t wait for her, nor did he say anything more. He didn’t know whether he was completely disappointed in her or this relationship.
She watched his back as he walked further and further away, and finally chased after him. “Lin Nancheng, speak clearly. I don’t want to continue this nonsense. Just give me a quick death! ”
“Song Guo, I should be the one saying this to you, right? ”
Song Guo automatically ignored his reaction and attitude, and her tone was still gentle and indifferent “What you said just now, I can understand it as… are you breaking up with me? Although I know that we are not in a relationship, can I take what you said just now as breaking up with me? Completely! ”
“If that’s what you think, I respect you. ”
Lin Nancheng’s words did not make her feel surprised or sad. Instead, she let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps she knew that this day would come from the beginning, but she did not expect it to come so soon.
She looked up at his handsome face and smiled beautifully. “If we had said it so mercilessly and straightforwardly earlier, perhaps we could still be friends. But what should we do now? It seems that we can’t do anything! ”
She still smiled and reached out her hand to him. “In that case, let’s say goodbye properly! ”
“thank you, Lin Nancheng! ”
The man’s hands were hanging by his side. He did not intend to shake her back. She could only reach out her hand to grab his big hand, but he easily dodged it.
Song Guo did not hesitate too much. She quickly withdrew her hand and still had a faint smile on her face. “thank you, Lin Nancheng. Thank you so much! ”
She turned around and looked outside the hospital hall. She quickly said, “it’s almost dawn. There should be a lot of pedestrians outside. I’ll just take a taxi back myself. Take care of yourself. I’m leaving. ”
She felt that her back must be very beautiful. At least she was not sloppy and entangled too much. However, she could not hide some of her sadness, and she did not want to hide it anymore.
When she walked out of the hospital, it was drizzling outside. She initially wanted to reach out to hail a car, but she really wanted to walk aimlessly.
In the end, willfulness overcame her rationality, and she walked into the wind and rain of late autumn just like that.
Although the sky was almost bright, there were not many pedestrians on the road, and there were very few cars. How many years had it been since she had seen such a quiet city in the morning?
She thought about it carefully. It seemed that ever since she went abroad to study, she had not seen this city at three or four o’clock.
She missed it a little, but of course, she also felt a little sentimental.
She did not know how long she had been walking like this. She only knew that it was already ten o’clock in the afternoon when she returned to the villa in the south city.
Auntie Wang opened the door and was shocked by her disheveled appearance, which was covered in water.
She quickly found a towel for her to wipe, then sent her upstairs to take a hot bath. After that, she quickly ran to the kitchen to cook ginger soup for her.
After taking a hot bath, Song Guo began to pack her things. When auntie Wang finished cooking the ginger soup, she also quickly packed her things.
Previously, she didn’t touch the things in the suitcase. She simply packed some common items and put them in.
When Auntie Wang saw her taking out the suitcase to pack, her heart skipped a beat. She then asked tentatively, “Miss Song, you… ”
Of course, Song Guo knew what Auntie Wang meant. She smiled and said, “I broke up with Lin Nancheng. This time, he was the one who brought it up. ”
The implication was that if she called him to tell him or not, the result would be the same. She had to leave. Of course, she was only telling her that her departure this time was under Lin Nancheng’s acquiescence.
She called him because it was unnecessary.
Auntie Wang said in surprise, “how… How could it be? ”
Auntie Wang felt that Lin Nancheng was very good to Song Guo. It could be said that the pain was deep in her bones. Why would he break up with her first?
Could there be a misunderstanding between them?
“Isn’t it normal for couples to break up and get back together? Besides, he and I aren’t considered a couple. At most, we’re… Friends of the opposite sex? Or confidants of the opposite sex? That’s probably it! ”
Look, for two people without love, even saying what their relationship was became a kind of sad dilemma.
“Miss Song, you should drink the ginger soup first. ”
Song Guo took it with a smile. “Thank you, sister-in-law Wang! ”
“It’s okay. This is what I should do! ”
After drinking the ginger soup, she felt that her body was not so cold anymore and felt much better. She thanked her again and left the South City Villa with the suitcase.
The rain outside was getting heavier. She thought about it, but there was nowhere to go, so she had no choice but to call Lu Xiaoxiao.
Lu Xiaoxiao heard that she had no place to go, so she gladly agreed to let her stay for a few days and drove over to pick her up.
Song Guo did not have the nerve to trouble her so much. She said that she would take a taxi over, and then cut off her cell phone communication.
The southern city villa area was a rich area, so there were very few taxis. She could only drag the trolley down the mountain. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally met an Airbus taxi. She reached out to stop it She then gave Lu Xiaoxiao the address of her bachelor apartment.
Song Guo knew that Gu Xichen had bought Xiao Xiao’s bachelor apartment, and she also knew that the two of them were underground lovers. Although she did not know why the two of them were unmarried men and women who insisted on having an underground relationship, her relationship was a mess She was even less qualified to comment on other people’s feelings.
Moreover, her relationship experience with Lin Nancheng was enough for others to be puzzled, not to mention that she and Lu Xiaoxiao were in the same situation.
Forty minutes later, Song Guo took a taxi and arrived at Lu Xiaoxiao’s bachelor apartment. Lu Xiaoxiao was already waiting at the entrance of the apartment with an umbrella. When she saw her, she quickly ran over to hold the umbrella for her.
Song Guo thanked her and quickly said, “Xiaoxiao, I won’t be staying here for long. I’ll move out as soon as I find a place! ”
“It’s alright. I’ll be living alone in such a big apartment. I feel very lonely too. It’s great to have you with me! ”
Song Guo also smiled. “Then I also have to thank you for taking me in at such a time. ”
“What’s the big deal? When I fall out with Gu Xichen in the future, you might even take me in one day! ”
Song Guo still smiled. “Don’t curse yourself just to comfort me. Gu Xichen is young and promising. He’s also a very talented businessman. Take good care of him. Don’t be like me, understand? ”
Lu Xiaoxiao knew that Song Guo did not like to bring burdens or negative energy to others. She could only smile and nod before changing the topic. “Do you have any plans in the future? ”
“I haven’t thought about it yet, but… after I settle my family matters, I’ll probably go abroad. I won’t STAY IN THE COUNTRY FOR LONG! ”
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded after listening and asked, “What about Xin Qiao? Do you want her to continue living with dad? ”
“When my conditions are better, I’ll take her away. He… “. “He will marry a wife in the future and have his own children. It will be very hard for Xin Qiao to follow him. Also, I don’t want Xin Qiao to do a paternity test. That would be too harmful to the child. I don’t want her to think that no one wants her! ”
“Is the Lin family still insisting on doing a paternity test on Xin Qiao? ”
“Yes, it should be! ”
“You… you broke up completely? ”
Song Guo nodded. “Yes, he suggested it this time. It should be because it’s too tiring to be with me! ”
Lu Xiaoxiao carefully glanced at her. “then you… are you alright? ! ”
Song Guo smiled. “Of course I’m fine. What’s wrong with just a breakup? I’M REALLY NOT THAT FRAGILE! ”
Lu Xiaoxiao also smiled. “Yeah, isn’t it just a breakup? What’s the big deal? ”
This sentence seemed to be saying it to her, but at the same time, it was also saying it to herself.
The rain was mournful and misty, shrouding the two’s figures in the white fog of the rain. It seemed to be coated with an indescribable sadness.
…
Song Guo slept until noon the next day at Lu Xiaoxiao’s bachelor apartment. However, the thing that she was faintly worried about still happened. It was that she caught a cold after being caught in the rain.
At first, she only had a slight fever, so she randomly found some fever medicine in the suitcase and took some. However, she did not expect the fever to get worse.
She felt that her body was so hot that it was about to explode. Her throat could not speak, so she could only get out of bed to find more medicine to take.
After sleeping for more than ten hours, her head was heavy and her footsteps were very flimsy. Before she reached the suitcase, she fell to the floor.
Perhaps because the sound of her falling to the floor was too loud, Lu Xiaoxiao, who was next door, heard it and rushed over to check. She did not expect to see Song Guo fall to the floor.
She was shocked and quickly ran over to help her up.
Song Guo’s body temperature was too high. Lu Xiaoxiao’s hand had just touched her body when she was scared by the scalding temperature of her body and screamed. She quickly said, “Song Guo, why didn’t you tell me that your fever is like this? Do you know that it’s very easy to get a fever like this? ”
Song Guo smiled weakly. “I’m fine. My constitution hasn’t been good since I was young. I like to catch a cold and have a fever when I’m caught in the rain. I’ll be fine after taking some fever medicine. Don’t make a fuss about it! ”
“Song Guo, there are some things that can be forced but there are some things that can not be done. If you feel uncomfortable, I can accompany you to drink and vent with you, but you can’t ruin your own body like this! ”
Song Guo hurriedly shook her head. “I’m really not like this because of a breakup. It’s just that I was caught in the rain yesterday and I also got a little cold. I’m really not a woman who puts love above all else. I won’t punish others in a way that makes me feel uncomfortable. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao knew that Song Guo was a very rational woman. Basically, she would not do anything too extreme, but… … What if she could not take the blow and refused to say it out loud? What if she just wanted to silently destroy herself ? ?
There was no other way. She had no other way.
“Let me send you to the hospital! ”
Song Guo reached out and grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao’s hand “Xiaoxiao, I know you’re afraid that something will happen to me, but I’m really fine. I’ll be fine after taking some fever medicine. How about this? I’ll take some medicine to sleep. If it’s still like this an hour later, I’ll go to the hospital with you, okay? ”
