He Chengyu looked at An Ruyou's crying face in his arms. Although he felt it was a little strange, the truth was that An Ruyou could understand her feelings, and felt that she had found a person who was truly interlinked with him.
An Ruyou had been leaning on He Chengyu's chest the entire time, and had even accidentally wiped his tears on He Chengyu's expensive shirt. However, He Chengyu did not say anything, gently supported An Ruyou's head, and stroked her soft hair, consoling him with a smile and patience, "Good girl, stop crying, it's alright now, it's all over. I'm fine now, Qiao Ruoyou is fine, she's … "I believe that she should be much better than before …"
After crying for a while, An Ruyou had also vented out most of her emotions. Her eyes were red as she looked at He Chengyu apologetically. An Ruyou pointed to the spot that she had climbed before.
However, He Chengyu didn't seem to care at all. He was only concerned about An Ruyou's big feelings, and seeing that An Ruyou was finally no longer as sad as before, He Chengyu felt a lot better in his heart.
Although in He Chengyu's heart, he still had many questions and many things he wanted to say to An Ruyou, he was worried that if he brought up the topic of Qiao Ruoyou, would it cause An Ruyou's emotions to collapse again?
It wasn't just because of this, but He Chengyu was also afraid that An Ruyou would catch a cold the next day if she stayed outside for such a long time at night. So He Chengyu quickly said to An Ruyou: "Wandering, don't you feel cold? Let's go home first, and talk about it slowly when we get home, shall we? "
An Ruyou had not completely recovered from her emotions. Instead, she was a little dazed, which also allowed him to see someone who was completely different from normal times, whether it was the strong lady in the shopping mall or the clever young girl she was in private. This made He Chengyu feel a sense of novelty.
That was why when An Ruyou heard He Chengyu's words, he rubbed his arms, as if he just felt a chill. Furthermore, An Ruyou and He Chengyu had been strolling in the park for such a long time, so An Ruyou was indeed a little tired, so he and He Chengyu headed towards the direction where they parked.
After getting on the car, He Chengyu turned on the air-conditioning inside the car, and even pointed the air vent towards An Ruyou's direction, before starting the car.
In An Ruyou's mind, it was now all that He Chengyu actually recognized him before, and had even silently paid attention to him for a long time. This situation, made An Ruyou, who always bragged that she was smart and rational, start to become very muddled.
Because she trusted He Chengyu with all her heart, An Ruyou didn't even ask He Chengyu how she was going to send him home at such a late hour. Once An Ruyou got on the car, she shrunk herself into a ball on the passenger seat, as if she was thinking about many things, but it also seemed like she wasn't thinking about anything at all.
He Chengyu did not drive the car, but instead brought An Ruyou back to her own home. Because the journey was long, by the time An Ruyou reached home, it would already be midnight, and although He Chengyu did not care about when he would rest, He Chengyu did not want An Ruyou to have a good rest.
Therefore, He Chengyu acted on his own accord and drove back to Grandpa He's home. Grandpa He was currently in the hospital, and there were not many people in the house, so An Ruyou would not feel uncomfortable.
When An Ruyou got off the car, she saw an ancient building in front of him. He Chengyu explained in his ear: "This is my grandfather's home, and it's very close to that small park just now. The two of us will rest here tonight, if it's too late, we can go home together tomorrow morning." He Chengyu had already arranged everything.
An Ruyou and He Chengyu were already very familiar with each other, so An Ruyou did not blame He Chengyu for that. Instead, she followed behind He Chengyu and entered the old mansion of the Grandpa He.
Although it was her first time here, An Ruyou's heart was currently filled with worry, so she was not in the mood to observe her surroundings. When He Chengyu saw An Ruyou full of worry, he first went to the kitchen and poured a cup of warm water with An Ruyou, which was then sent to the center of his palm.
An Ruyou accepted the cup of water from He Chengyu and thanked him. Without drinking any water, she kept the cup in her hands, as if she was warming herself.
He Chengyu also sat down beside An Ruyou, "Wandering, you …" He Chengyu did not know whether it was appropriate to bring up this matter now, but he still tried to probe: "Can you tell me, did you and Qiao Ruoyou know each other before?" If it wasn't for that, He Chengyu really didn't understand why An Ruyou would have appeared so abnormal tonight.
An Ruyou knew that her emotional collapse tonight would definitely cause He Chengyu to suspect the relationship between him and Qiao Ruoyou. That was why An Ruyou had to lower the feeling of her own existence as much as possible along the way, as she silently pondered on how she should explain this matter to He Chengyu.
The truth of the matter was simply too inconceivable. If he were to tell He Chengyu, he might very well not believe it. After all, even An Ruyou herself could not imagine that such a thing had actually happened.
Furthermore, An Ruyou didn't dare be completely sure whether she would stand on her side after hearing the truth of the matter. She still had many plans that she hadn't completed yet, so she couldn't casually reveal her true identity.
An Ruyou rejected her idea very quickly. The other way would be to say that she was Qiao Ruoyou's friend, even though her reaction just now had probably exceeded the limit of friends, but the only way would be for An Ruyou to guess that even if He Chengyu had been paying attention to Qiao Ruoyou, he would probably not have investigated every single one of Qiao Ruoyou's friends to such an extent.
Just as An Ruyou was thinking this, He Chengyu asked his own question. This was similar to what An Ruyou had imagined, so after An Ruyou organized her thoughts, she answered He Chengyu calmly as much as possible, "Mmm, we can be considered to know each other, after all, we are in the same circle. We would always hear about each other and have the chance to meet at banquets, but we aren't really familiar with each other.
An Ruyou had to admit that she was acquainted with An Ruyou, but she did not dare to say that her relationship with Qiao Ruoyou was too close. After all, He Chengyu knew a thing or two about An Ruyou, and it was better for him to avoid being exposed.
However, even such a simple sentence from An Ruyou could not completely convince him. Although the doubts in He Chengyu's heart had been cleared a little, He Chengyu continued to ask An Ruyou: "Your relationship isn't deep, but why did you cry so miserably just now? It really makes one's heart ache to look at it. " He Chengyu spoke the truth.
An Ruyou could only continue to explain, "I had always thought that Qiao Ruoyou was a very happy person. I had always thought that her family and love were very happy, but after listening to your story today, I realized that Qiao Ruoyou was actually not happy at all."
"But I also feel that she's happy, although this happiness is very regrettable, at that time when you were protecting Qiao Ruoyou, it was as though I saw the most beautiful love in the world. I also have some personal reasons, I am the same as you, I have a lot of respect and admiration for Qiao Ruoyou, and have always wanted to become closer friends with her. But before I could even realize this thought, an accident happened to her, and I felt like it was me, a very important person, who left me, that made me very sad. "
When An Ruyou said this, the doubt in her heart could be considered to have been completely dispelled. He could also understand the meaning behind An Ruyou's words, after all, he and Qiao Ruoyou did not have a deep friendship, but he felt that she was someone very important to him. This person was not a friend, nor was he a lover, and even more so, was not family.
But when He Chengyu heard what An Ruyou had just said, it was completely unrelated to him, and even had the tone of blessings, He Chengyu's heart started to become uncomfortable.
How could An Ruyou completely give herself to another woman? If Qiao Ruoyou was still here, would An Ruyou give himself up to someone else?
In fact, I have to thank you. I'm willing to tell you about so many things that have happened to Chen sesame seeds, but you have to let me tell you again, you better not misunderstand, there's nothing between Qiao Ruoyou and I, not to mention that she doesn't even know me, from the very start to the end, my feelings towards her, are still not love. I'm only grateful to her, but maybe this feeling has already been buried in my heart for too long, and has already turned into old wine already, but this will definitely not affect my feelings for you, understand? "
He Chengyu said a lot more in one breath, but in An Ruyou's opinion, the main idea was to not think too much into it, He Chengyu's feelings for him, was still not love.
Men were truly a strange creature. If it wasn't love, why would it silently protect for such a long period of time? It was practically a young man's time. On one side, it was unforgettable to see that, when they first met, he had met a girl, and on the other side, it was the beautiful and treasured love he had met after growing up. This was not only a question that An Ruyou had considered, but also a question that He Chengyu should consider.
Zhang Ailing had once said that in a man's lifetime, he would meet two women: a white rose and a red rose. If he obtained the red rose, the white rose would become the moonlight in his heart and the red rose would become the mosquito's blood on the wall. But if he obtained the white rose, the red rose would become the cinnabar mole in his heart.
But to An Ruyou, whether it was Qiao Ruoyou or the current An Ruyou, all of them were in fact her. Seeing He Chengyu being extremely cautious and trying his best to comfort himself, afraid that he might think too much into it, An Ruyou actually really wanted to tell He Chengyu not to be conflicted anymore. They are all one person, all me.
And even now, if An Ruyou really wanted to get angry at He Chengyu, he wouldn't be able to get angry, and she wouldn't be jealous either. Qiao Ruoyou? But isn't that still me?
