memory hole

Deng Qian went to the living room.

When Deng Qian turned around and closed the door of the living room, he glanced at Zhong Xian behind him.Zhong Xian understood and didn't follow up.

But doubts made Zhong Xian restless, and he tried to eavesdrop outside the door.The people inside spoke in a very low voice, and only heard Zhao Qi's high-pitched voice talking about breaking up and getting married intermittently when he was excited.

Zhong Xian guessed that Deng Yi's announcement of breaking up probably stimulated her.But they are fake lovers, Zhao Qi has long been mentally prepared, why is he so excited, and even ran to Hong Kong to find Deng Qian?

Get involved

The conversation between Deng Qian and Zhao Qi was far longer than Zhong Xian expected.Because he couldn't overhear anything, he strolled around the front hall of the villa.This is an American-style villa overlooking the sea.It is said that it looks at the sea from the slow platform on the other side of the front hall, which is the outdoor viewing platform for looking at the sea. The whole side is covered with a white pedestrian corridor, leading to the beach in the distance.

If one is born with such a life, then what is the pursuit of life?Zhong Xian's thinking jumps here.

For most people, the pursuit of wealth is at least one obvious motivator.But for those who are born with it, what is the driving force of their life.Have fun?Pursue something higher?Or, fear of losing?

Rao is now shaken by Deng Qian, and when he asks himself, Zhong Xian still admires Deng Yi's qualities even more - Deng Yi's background is so enviable, but there is no trace of arrogance in his personality.Perhaps it was due to his father's harshness towards him, or perhaps due to his autism as a child.God created such a perfect person, and did not let him be infected with the bad habits of wealth and honor, which seems to be inconsistent with the laws of the world-people should always be somewhat imperfect.

Zhong Xian opened his eyes facing the sea breeze. During the ten minutes when Deng Qian was not by his side, he was surprised to find that the feeling in his heart was gradually returning to its original position, as if the pendulum would fall back to its original position after shaking.It was the first time he experienced this feeling.Emotions cannot be controlled by people, and it is obviously not the right way to blindly conform to it and fight against it blindly.Maybe calm down and listen to the voice deep in your heart to find the right direction.

The fourth brother Deng Qian also has no bad habits of wealth and honor, but he shoulders the responsibility of the family business, so he can't keep a low profile.Among the other Deng brothers, the eldest brother Deng Huan is the eldest son of the eldest uncle, and he is quite strict. He married earlier and his wife has a prominent family background; Deng Heng is the second son of the uncle.He is also down-to-earth and low-key; Deng Xin, the fifth brother who met once, is the youngest son of the second uncle, and he has a rich second-generation temperament that does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Thinking about it this way, Zhong Xian found that the two sons of his uncle Deng Xiangdong were quite kind.The sons of the second uncle Deng Xiangzhong have distinctive personalities and show their sharpness.Thinking that the second elder brother Emperor Kai and the fifth elder brother Deng Xin are the true brothers of Deng Qian, Zhong Xian couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed.

Deng Qian was adopted by Deng Yi's father Deng Xiangnan from birth. HQC is the business empire established by Deng Xiangnan. Deng Qian can be said to have completely inherited his style of work.In some respects, he grew up in the same atmosphere as Deng Yi, and Deng Qian is indeed more similar to Deng Yi.From this point of view, the influence of growth is greater than the role of natural genes.

When Zhong Xian was looking at the sea and thinking about this, he received a call from Deng Yi.

"It's hard for me to be at peace now." Deng Yi smiled apologetically on the other end of the phone, with a gentle voice. "I called you again after only two hours. I was restless and frightened. I always felt that something was going to happen."

Zhong Xian didn't know what to say: "I'm sorry. I lost control of my emotions just now. Don't think too much about it."

Deng Yi's voice was a little anxious: "It's not the first time I have this premonition. I had it many years ago... I don't think I can do nothing. Just promise me."

"Promise what?"

"I didn't think about it. Maybe... don't go to the roof, don't drive. I can be by your side at night."

Zhong Xian immediately understood. "I'll be fine this time. I promise you." He comforted softly.

"Have we really opened up to each other?"

"Of course." Because he was afraid that Deng Yi would ask him where he was, Zhong Xian changed the subject. "I was thinking about one thing just now - how did I enter your life back then, and who brought me to you."

"Why ask this?"

"It's the fourth brother. You said that he cares about you most."

Deng Yi was silent for a while: "If there is no fourth brother, the relationship between me and my father will deteriorate."

"Your father didn't approve of you being friends with me then?"

"Actually, you can't blame him. You did some very outrageous things. Let's not talk about it. Let's wait for you to recall slowly."

"Extraordinary thing... I forced you to take some photos, right?"

Deng Yi laughed happily: "Have you remembered? There are more outrageous things. Don't talk about it on the phone."

"Why would I do that?"

"A childhood prank. What could be the reason?"

"You can ignore me, can't you? Since when did you find out that you don't like women. "

"Why ask this?"

"It's not about opening your heart. Haven't you thought about anyone else except me?"

"You are different."

"When and how did you know you didn't like it?"

"I have no dislikes. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I can take it all. In fact, I don't have time to slowly explore what I like. I met you when I was less than 16 years old, and I was pushed by you... these you Probably didn't remember it."

"Before that, didn't you have a vague feeling about other things? Even when you were a child, you would notice your favorite type. Didn't you know it when you were young?"

"That's a long story."

"tell me the story."

"You want to make sure I'm born this way? There's nothing to hide. There really isn't much to say. I didn't think I was any different until I met you."

The door of the reception room opened, Zhong Xian hurriedly ended the call, and hurriedly made an appointment with Deng Yi to meet at the hotel at night.

Deng Qian sent Zhao Qi to the front hall and arranged for the driver to take her away.

Zhong Xian jumped off the side of the sea-watching platform and went to the back of the villa to wait for the car carrying Zhao Qi to pass by the roundabout.When Zhao Qi saw Zhong Xian, he asked the driver to stop the car.

"I was looking for you too." Zhao Qi got out of the car and stood with Zhong Xian at the stone wall under the platform. "However, the fourth brother explained to me that he brought you to Hong Kong at the request of Deng Yi, to find a professional counselor for you."

"Really." Zhong Xian smiled strangely.

"Why?" Zhao Qi was puzzled.

"So the relationship between you and fourth brother is like this." Zhong Xian asked directly.

"This is the question I wanted to ask you at the beginning, how did you ask it?" Zhao Qi said proudly. "Our two families are family friends, we have been close since childhood..."

Zhong Xian interrupted her: "I saw you kissing him goodbye on the side of the road. I kept thinking that I was wrong. But it is also possible that we are the same thing."

"What did you say?!"

"You said you liked me and gave me a ring, just for fun?"

"I want to be serious, will you?"

"Stop acting. If I hadn't seen the way you looked at Fourth Brother today, I would have thought you really liked me. How could I hide it from you? I'm here to confess to you—I'm Fourth Brother's new favorite. That's why he brought me to the villa." Zhong Xian said like a rascal.

Sure enough, as he expected, Zhao Qi's eyes became wild.

"You have never been so mad when you heard that Deng Yi and I were together. It turns out..."

"You rotten person!" Zhao Qi suddenly became angry.

"Bad guy?" Zhong Xian gasped, Zhao Qi's straightforwardness made him not even have to find an excuse.

Zhao Qi roared: "What are you doing for? Money?!"

"Such a beautiful forbidden love, you should know that there can only be one reason. True love." Zhong Xian was calm instead.

"True love? You idiot." Zhao Qi sneered. "We are a game of chess at best. But at least I will not lose. I am a woman, and he promised to marry me within two years. And you will have nothing, at most, it will be a pastime for him to change his taste. I, Don't care! I want to tell you a story. How does a person—" Zhao Qi paused several times.

Zhong Xian continued for her: "There is a pair of childhood sweethearts, they are in love with each other, at least the girl thinks so...but the boy has a request."

"He told you?" Zhao Qi's reaction made Zhong Xian petrified.

"Ah."

Zhao Qi succinctly said that she had been infatuated with a boy since she was a teenager and helped him realize his plan.They agreed that the plan was complete and he would marry her.She obeyed all his arrangements.Suddenly one day she grew up, her mind began to mature, and she discovered the other side of things.

Zhong Xian suddenly had tinnitus, and he rubbed his ears.

"The person you're talking about..." He still had a hint of fantasy.

Zhao Qi began to realize his rashness: "Fourth brother won't tell you a lot... Will you tell Deng Yi this story? Even if you tell it, no one will believe it. I have told the truth, and you should too Be honest with me."

Zhong Xian lowered his head: "What truth do you want to hear?"

"Don't underestimate a woman's intuition."

"Nothing you worry about will happen. Haven't you thought about the blow to Deng Yi? You are his girlfriend in name, but in fact..."

"Shouldn't you say this to yourself?" Zhao Qi sneered.

Zhong Xian looked listless: "I won't. I want to thank that I didn't realize it later. At least I tried to find the reason before I wanted to do it. I don't want to be blind and stupid."

"It's better like this." Zhao Qi turned and got into the car.

Zhong Xian rushed to the front of the car and said to Zhao Qi in the car window: "You told me before
