Lu Chutian concealed his inner feelings, nodded, and said with difficulty: "Okay."

Seeing that Zhong Linlan was still standing outside the door, he said, "Let's go inside, it's cold outside."

Zhong Linlan still stayed where he was, shaking his head: "I'm not cold at all. If I stand here, as soon as He Ting comes back, I'll be able to see him immediately."

Lu Chutian's heart felt more intense pain, he walked slowly to Zhong Linlan's side, stepped forward to touch her hand, and frowned: "Hands are so cold, why don't you say it's not cold?"

Then he thoughtfully took off his coat and put it on Zhong Linlan.

"Thank you." Zhong Linlan felt a daze in his eyes, subconsciously touched the clothes on his body, and suddenly felt much warmer.

The corner of Lu Chutian's mouth curled into an indiscernible arc: "You don't need to thank me."

After waiting for a long time, the food on the table has already cooled a lot.There was still no sound outside the gate, as quiet as stagnant water.

"He won't come back." Lu Chutian looked at the time and finally reminded with distress.

Zhong Linlan seemed to be a little bit unwilling, holding a trace of expectation: "Wait a little longer, he should come back, today is his birthday."

Lu Chutian knew that she was still trapped in the beautiful dream of weaving, so he could only say cruelly: "If I want to come back, I will come back a long time ago."

After finishing speaking, Lu Chutian stood behind her all the time, seeing her back standing still, maybe he was brewing emotions and couldn't bear to disturb her.Not long after, he saw that Zhong Linlan seemed to have calmed down, looked back at him, pretending to be relaxed and said, "You're right, I've already had dinner at this point, and I'm sure I won't be back."

Lu Chutian looked at her carefully and noticed that she was deliberately avoiding her eyes.

"It's such a pity for the food I worked so hard to cook." Zhong Linlan's eyelids trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Why don't we have a drink?"

Lu Chutian nodded naturally.

"Come, try my handicraft." Zhong Linlan still had a relaxed expression on his face, smiling as he picked up food for Lu Chutian.

Lu Chutian started to eat, with a look of enjoyment on his face, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "It's delicious."

"It seems that my cooking skills are getting better now." Zhong Linlan said helplessly, "It's just that there are people, but it's not rare."

Lu Chutian was startled when he picked up the vegetables.

"You don't have to worry about me." Zhong Linlan glanced at him, pretending to be relaxed, "Although he didn't come back, I'm not alone, it's no big deal."

Lu Chutian chewed the food in his mouth, and unexpectedly tasted a bit of bitterness.

"Come on, drink." Zhong Linlan smiled and poured him a full glass of red wine, and also filled his own glass.

Lu Chutian was a little worried: "You still don't want to drink so much."

Zhong Linlan couldn't listen at all, and his tone was somewhat self-deprecating: "What can't you drink? Alcohol is a good thing, so don't persuade me today, just drink with me to your heart's content."

"it is good."

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chutian nodded vigorously, knowing that Zhong Linlan just wanted to find an outlet to vent all the anguish in his heart.

Cup after cup, Zhong Linlan became emotional in the end.

"Thank you for coming to drink with me." Her throat choked, and the wine entered her throat, which made her feel distressed.

Lu Chutian said distressedly: "I said earlier, don't be polite with me, it's just a drink, it's a trivial matter."

"You are the only one who treats me so well. Although I am usually glamorous, in fact, I am not happy at all. Although as a member of the Zhong family, since I was a child, I have everything I want, but they don't understand at all. I."

Seeing tears falling from Zhong Linlan's eyes, Lu Chutian took out a tissue and handed it to her.

Zhong Linlan took the tissue and continued to cry: "In their eyes, I don't see any family affection. They just blindly regard me as a tool for their own interests. Other than that, I am nothing!"

Seeing that her face was full of tears and flushed, Lu Chutian's heart seemed to be torn in half by others.He couldn't help stretching out his hand, stepped forward and gently wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of Zhong Linlan's eyes, and said softly, "I know, I know everything."

Zhong Linlan poured another glass of wine, but when he wanted to drink, Lu Chutian stopped him.Looking sideways, he bumped into Lu Chutian's worried eyes.

"Stop drinking, you're already drunk now." Lu Chutian was in a state of confusion.

Zhong Linlan was still holding on to the wine glass tightly, and said aggrievedly: "Let me drink it, only in this way can I feel better."

Unable to bear to see Zhong Linlan's worried appearance, Lu Chutian could only let go of his hand slowly.

"I used to think that He Ting loved me, but when I found out that the only thing he had left for me was the affection he had growing up with me, I just felt unwilling." Zhong Linlan's words were broken by choking.

She had already discovered that Yuan Heting's heart didn't stay in her heart at all, and she even tried to show her favor over and over again, but Yuan Heting didn't even want to touch her.

Those few years of parting had already exhausted Yuan Heting's remaining goodwill towards her.

Lu Chutian listened carefully to Zhong Linlan's complaints from the side, and he heard every word in his heart.Every word Zhong Linlan uttered was like a thorn, piercing his heart, excruciatingly painful.

"I've always wanted to work hard to maintain the relationship between me and him, because I know it's hard-won, and I cherish it more than anyone else." Zhong Linlan said with a wry smile, "But he doesn't even want to give me this opportunity, no matter how I try to keep it, He doesn't appreciate it."

As if touching the emotional wound in his heart, Zhong Linlan covered his face with his hands and let out a soft sob.

Lu Chutian couldn't bear to look any longer, he got closer to her, hugged her into his arms, and could even clearly feel her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"Ah Tian, ​​I'm really tired..." Zhong Linlan burst into tears, "I don't want to, but I'm already exhausted."

Life seems to be like a bottomless pit, and there are floods surging outside. If you poke one place, floods will pour in everywhere.

"I know." Lu Chutian felt sad, "I also feel very uncomfortable hearing you say that."

Feeling the trembling of the person in his arms, Lu Chutian couldn't help hugging her even more tightly, patted her on the back lightly, and said: "I once hoped that you could live happily, no matter who is around you, as long as you If I am happy, I have nothing else to ask for, but now that I hear you like this, I..." When talking about it, a trace of pity flashed in Lu Chutian's eyes.

"I will seek justice for you no matter what this time."

Zhong Linlan had tears in his eyes and a strange emotion flashed in his eyes. Although his face was drunk, his mind was more sober.

What I have heard the most is that drunkenness can relieve sorrow and forget sad things, but for her, after drunkenness, those scars are more clearly exposed in front of her, showing her how defeated and defeated she is.

A wave of hatred rushed towards her, and she cried more and more, "I don't know how it became like this, it was fine before, but now since that woman Su Wuxi appeared, she started to disrupt all the original tracks. "

Su Wuxi!Hearing these three words, Lu Chutian's long and narrow eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

"But I don't blame her. If I want to blame, I can only blame myself. If I fight for a little bit and keep He Ting's heart, it won't be like it is now."

Hearing that the woman in his arms was so sad, but still thinking of speaking for Su Wuxi, he would rather blame himself for all the crimes, he really couldn't bear it.

"How can you be the only one to blame? I don't know about the relationship, but you are such a good girl, He Ting would be blind if he didn't want you. As for Su Wuxi, she..." Lu Chutian thought about everything because of Zhong Linlan in his heart. It's all her fault.

"Don't say that..." Zhong Linlan sobbed.

Seeing her like this, Lu Chutian sighed helplessly: "You are like this now, why are you still thinking about others?"

"Otherwise, what can I do?" Zhong Linlan left Lu Chutian's arms, smiled helplessly, but tears fell down.

She picked up the wine glass with trembling hands, slipped her hand, and the wine glass fell to the ground with a sharp sound, as if it was about to smash the sadness in her body to pieces.

"Don't move, I'll clean it up."

When Lu Chutian said this, it was already too late.I saw Zhong Linlan squatting down, trying to pick up the fragments, but his hand was accidentally cut, bright red blood flowed out quickly, and he wanted to come out to see the air.

"Does it hurt?" Lu Chutian panicked immediately, and immediately covered her hand, with a hint of blame in his tone, "I told you not to touch it."

Zhong Linlan shook his head lightly, with tears in his eyes: "It doesn't hurt at all."

It may be that the pain has shifted for a while, rushing to the heart, and the pain in the body has become much lighter for a while, and it is not so painful.

"He said it didn't hurt, it was bleeding." Lu Chutian didn't believe what she said, only saw the blood flowing out, and his heart almost stopped breathing.

He immediately took a band-aid, gently put it on Zhong Linlan carefully, and said with concern: "Be careful next time, don't touch water these few days, and be careful of wound inflammation."

Zhong Linlan just nodded his head, the circles of his eyes were already red.

"If only He Ting could treat me half as well as you." Zhong Linlan seemed to be talking to himself.

After cleaning up Zhong Linlan's wound, Lu Chutian couldn't say no matter how many words he had.He couldn't tell Zhong Linlan about his feelings that he shouldn't have, and he couldn't say it either.

Naturally, he did not think at the beginning that this feeling could not be expressed, and it actually lasted for more than twenty years.

"It's because he didn't realize your goodness and didn't know how to cherish it. He will regret it sooner or later." Lu Chutian helped him heal the wound, and when he saw her frown barely visible, he said distressedly, "Did it hurt you?"

Zhong Linlan shook his head: "No."

Seeing her like this, Lu Chutian sighed secretly: "No matter what you say this time, I really can't bear to see you like this. No matter what, I have to have a good talk with Su Wuxi."

Zhong Linlan's eyes flickered for just a moment.

Lu Chutian continued to look at Zhong Linlan's wound covered with Band-Aid, feeling more distressed, and said, "I will let her leave Yuan Heting voluntarily."

Although it was unbearable to hand over Zhong Linlan to others, Lu Chutian had no choice but to do so in order to make Zhong Linlan happy, otherwise he would have seized the opportunity many years ago.
