Lost [Transmigration Book]

After the wedding, Qiao Nanqi sat on a bench outside the venue, watching the guests not far away leave one by one, watching Zhao Rong and Lu Xingping get into the same car, not knowing whose house they were going to.

After the lights in the arena were turned off, he said to Xia Yuantu who had been blowing with him all the time, "Thank you."

Xia Yuantu smiled: "It's strange, you seem to have really changed recently."

It almost made him think that the Qiao Nanqi he knew before had been changed.

When Zhao Rong left at first, Xia Yuantu felt that Qiao Nanqi would feel a little bit hard to part with in the first few days at most, and would move on after a few days.But as time went by, Qiao Nanqi not only didn't move forward, but got deeper and deeper, as if he was crazy and didn't want anything, only Zhao Rong was in his eyes.

Later, Zhao Rong was going to marry Lu Xingping, and he was worried that Qiao Nanqi would go crazy every day. On the way to the wedding venue, he was still worried about what to do if Qiao Nanqi really attacked Lu Xingping.But at this time, Qiao Nanqi didn't go crazy, and even sat at the wedding in a proper manner.

It's not at all like Young Master Qiao who drove his nominal father crazy for revenge in the past few years.

On the contrary, he looks more and more like...a normal person who can be happy, angry, sad, and happy, but also restrained and calm.

Maybe it was because Qiao Nanqi was too calm, Xia Yuantu finally felt relieved, when Xiao Wu picked him up, he stared at him for a few words, and then he went back by himself.

But Qiao Nanqi just went home and fed the cats at home, then came out again and went to the company.

late at night.

On the top floor of the company, the office is burning with a faint agarwood, and the lights are bright.

Xiao Wu has been following him for so many years, no matter how tired he is or when he works overtime, he has encountered them all the time. He has no other ideas, but according to Qiao Nanqi's previous explanation, he called a few people in charge to come and talk to Qiao Nanqi. Together, they dealt with the assets of the Chen family that were acquired by Qiao Nanqi.

He was going in with a document and wanted to ask Qiao Nanqi for some details. When he walked to the desk, he just lowered his head and saw the wine stains on Qiao Nanqi's sleeve.

The heater was turned on in the office, and there was no one else. Qiao Nanqi had already taken off the suit jacket he wore to the wedding at this moment, and he was only wearing a white shirt on his upper body. rigid.Only the wine stain on the cuff is very eye-catching.

In the past, Qiao Nanqi would put down everything at hand and change his clothes as soon as his sleeves brushed against the wall.

Xiao Wu has seen people who are obsessed with cleanliness, but they are as meticulous as Qiao Nanqi to the extreme, which is rare. He has always felt that it is not that Qiao Nanqi can't bear these things, but that it is Qiao Nanqi who restrains himself. The way.Their husbands always wrap themselves up tightly in all aspects, and they are so defensive that no one can get close to them.

But now, he has seen it several times, and Qiao Nanqi didn't care about other things when he encountered something related to Zhao Rong.

With courage, he tried to remind Qiao Nanqi to take a break with this excuse: "Sir, why don't you go and change your clothes first? I can take care of myself first. I have dealt with these things before. It's nothing." question."

Qiao Nanqi's eyes pulled out from the pile of documents and fell on him.

"No," he said, "I want to get this thing over with first."

Xiao Wu knew he couldn't be persuaded, so he nodded, "Then I'll do it as soon as possible."

After finishing this document, when he turned to leave, Xiao Wu paused, struggled for a while, and finally turned around and said, "Sir?"

"Say." This time, Qiao Nanqi didn't look up at him at all, and was still working with his head down.

"I, I also know about Mr. Zhao..." He said bravely, "But you have been tossing your body too much these days, and now it's a done deal, you, you, you, you...you should go home and rest more? "

He almost never talked to Qiao Nanqi in such a persuasive tone, and he felt like he was going to collapse after speaking.

Qiao Nanqi slowly raised his head.

He didn't have the anger or indifference that Xiao Wu imagined, but his eyes moved slightly, and the lifeless eyes seemed to be moistened with a layer of self-mockery.

"I'm here now or I'm at home, working or resting, what's the difference?" he said.

— it doesn't make sense.

Xiao Wu heard the implication of this sentence.

It turned out that Zhao Rong was really important to Qiao Nanqi.

But Zhao Rong is married and will never reunite with their husband again.

He knew what the problem was, it just seemed terminal.

Xiao Wu sighed inwardly, only to hear Qiao Nanqi suddenly say to him, "That's right."

"Sir, you said."

Qiao Nanqi lowered his head and looked at the slightly exposed wound on his left wrist.

This is what I found out on the day Zhao Rong got married.

At that time, his mind was all chaotic, he just felt that the sky had collapsed and the ground had sunk, there was nothing he couldn’t do, and there was nothing he needed to care about. of.

But at this moment, thinking of how much Zhao Rong liked his hands in the past, and how much he liked to sit by and watch him play the piano, he began to feel a little scared.

Zhao Rong told him that maybe what Zhao Rong likes all these years is not him, it may be the things he owns, or it may be his appearance, his face.

He no longer expects Zhao Rong to love him, but as long as there is a little thing that Zhao Rong would like, or there is such a thing that makes Zhao Rong look at him more, he dare not lose it.

"you……"

"Help me find out where it is better to treat the scars caused by this kind of skin trauma, and make an appointment for me immediately."

Whatever Zhao Rong likes, he will offer.

Whatever Zhao Rong wants to do, he uses what he has to ensure that Zhao Rong can do it.

He has no chance to fall in love with Zhao Rong, nor the right to pursue Zhao Rong, but he can continue to love.

He no longer wants what he wants.

All he wanted was for Zhao Rong to be happy.

Zhao Rong turned around to look at Lu Xingping.

Lu Xingping pushed the document towards him, put the pen on the document, and said, "Your name is missing."

Following his movements, Zhao Rong lowered her head and glanced at the document.

Lu Xingping had already turned the document to the last page, and there was already a line of chic handwriting on the lower right, just waiting for him to add something.

Just wait for him to add his own signature and show it to lawyer Lin tomorrow, and then he will know all the steps to get the inheritance.

Lu Xingping looked at him calmly, as if waiting for him to sign and leave.

He looked down at the place where he should sign, picked up the pen, and clamped the body of the pen between his fingers. For some reason, he didn't sign immediately, but turned around, his eyes flickering.

The thoughts in his mind were so chaotic that he couldn't even draw the root thread.

But after turning the pen a few times, he pressed the complexities in his heart, held the pen firmly, and when he pressed his wrist, the tip of the pen hit the paper, leaving a tiny black spot.

He was planning to write the character "Zhao" in a row——

"Zhao Rong," Lu Xingping called out to him suddenly, "What are you thinking?"

He paused and pressed the pen tip on the paper like this, and the black dots gradually faded away.

"What did the senior say?"

"You were hesitating just now."

"...It's a bit." Zhao Rong said, "I'll talk about it after signing."

He picked up the pen and wanted to write again, but Lu Xingping raised his hand and directly grabbed him.

Lu Xingping said: "I don't want to sign this kind of agreement with me. The other party signed it with hesitation."

For a moment.

He said, "I—"

"Think about why you hesitate first." Lu Xingping actually spoke at the same time as him.

Zhao Rong glanced at Lu Xingping, and saw Lu Xingping raised his hand, signaling him not to speak in a hurry.

He opened his mouth and stopped talking. The strength of his fingertips had already loosened, and the fountain pen slipped from his palm and rolled on the table.

At the moment, only one incandescent lamp in the center was turned on in the study room, emitting a pale light, as if catching the cold outside.

The cold color was sprinkled on the document, which should have been clearly illuminated, but Zhao Rong felt a little dazzled when he looked at it, and it was more tiring than when he was reading it in the car.

He moved his eyes and saw the wedding ring on his left hand, which made him even more glaring.

To him and Lu Xingping, the wedding ring was just a ring, no different from other accessories.There were too many things at the wedding, I didn't pick them up, and I forgot until now.

Zhao Rong stared at the ring, and thought of the ring exchange at the wedding, Qiao Nanqi looked up slightly at his expression.

His heart skipped a beat, and he pressed the document with his hand without a pen, his fingertips gently rubbing the paper.

"I..." Zhao Rongfu spoke again, no longer hiding his emotions, "Senior, I seem to be a little confused."

This is actually a bit irresponsible.

After all, they have now finished their wedding and are about to start preparing for the legal procedures.Everyone knew about this wedding. Although Lu Xingping didn't intend to get married, he sent out invitations openly. The reward for doing this was half of the inheritance.

So he immediately added: "It's not that I don't want to take the inheritance. I will definitely give back the half that I promised the senior, and I will sign it now. It's just that the senior asked me, and I'll tell the truth—I just suddenly became a little confused."

Lu Xingping smiled: "You finally found out?"

Zhao Rong choked: "Senior has already seen it?"

"People who are not disturbed, at the wedding scene, when the lawyer is still watching, the ring is almost thrown on the ground?" Lu Xingping leaned back in the chair and said slowly, "I just like wearing glasses. No high myopia."

Zhao Rong: "."

"Then why didn't the senior point it out at the wedding just now?"

"I don't want to imply to you, if you signed without any hesitation just now, I will pretend that I didn't feel anything."

"Just pretend you don't feel anything now, can't you?" Zhao Rong sighed.

He knew that this time it was not a matter of simply signing his name and going home, so he moved a chair from one side and sat down on the other side of the desk very consciously.

Lu Xingping seemed to have deliberately left him some time to clear his mind, and got up to go to the kitchen to make coffee.

After a while, Lu Xingping came back with a cup of hot coffee and a cup of warm water. Zhao Rong habitually thought that the cup of warm water was for him, but never thought that Lu Xingping would put the hot coffee in front of him and sit on the other side with the warm water. Down.

Zhao Rong: "?"

Lu Xingping said: "I'm going to sleep later, you may need to wake up."

Zhao Rong: "..."

He couldn't laugh or cry: "I've thought about it a little bit earlier."

"Oh?"

"I did come to the wedding today because of Qiao Nanqi, and I was a little confused. But we discussed this matter together. The matter has come to this point, and I have no reason to get the half because of my own personal affairs. Money, I have no reason to have to deal with such a large inheritance. I will sign this document now and bring it to Lawyer Lin tomorrow, and then we will act according to the agreement. "

Lu Xingping directly pushed the cup of coffee towards him: "I'll think about this for a long time, so you should take a few sips first."

"..." Zhao Rong said helplessly, "I'm serious."

Lu Xingping didn't answer him right away, but just took out his phone, swipe the screen a few times, left the screen interface in a chat box, and handed it to Zhao Rong for him to see.

——It turned out to be a chat record with Xiao Wu.

Zhao Rong took a closer look and saw that Xiao Wu sent a lot of messages, but in fact they all did one thing.

Xiao Wu sorted out all the things of the Chen family that Qiao Nanqi bought at the end of the "Return" plot, and sent them to Lu Xingping.

"This is……?"

"Congratulations," Lu Xingping put back his phone, and said, "Give us a congratulations gift for today's wedding."

Zhao Rong was stunned.

Lu Xingping said again: "It's a congratulatory gift, I don't think it was called to me. So this money is in the name of a congratulatory gift, and he wants to return all the things that belong to the Chen family. The Chen family's property is divided in half, half In the inheritance, half is in these things. If you take these things, give me half of them, the same, no difference."

"If you don't want to owe Nan Qi, I'll pay him back the money now. If you really hesitate, we didn't fulfill the engagement, and you are really with Nan Qi... Well, you can give me half of the money, I will Let Nan Qi compensate me for losing half of my inheritance. Of course, it’s just because you don’t have to bear the burden.

"So now, you forget about these things first, and think about it before you talk."

While sighing about Qiao Nanqi's "gift", Zhao Rong understood what Lu Xingping meant.

After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll put aside the money matter for now."

"I'm confused, mainly because... Qiao Nanqi came today, but he just came. Senior, I don't know how to describe this feeling. I have always been sure that he doesn't love me, what he loves is Myself, I love the love I gave him, so at the wedding, I think he will either let go of his pride, or he will not let it go, he is such a person, he never thinks about my perspective."

"But he didn't go either way."

"I made a mistake the first time."

So his mind was disturbed.

Zhao Rong's eyes drifted aimlessly, and finally landed on the cocoon in the small greenhouse, and said: "I feel like I've been wrapped in the cocoon all the time, and I don't want to go out, because I know it's cold outside, so it's better to go out. will freeze to death."

He admitted that his past experience had given him too many warnings, so that even now, as long as he thinks that if he is with Qiao Nanqi again, he may be belittled, underestimated, and ignored by this person again, but Treat him dispensably.Or because he couldn't give as much as before, Qiao Nanqi's enthusiasm went out for a while, and then it was a cycle of torture...

"But today, someone poked a hole in my cocoon, and I found that the outside is... different from what I imagined."

"But I can't believe it. Is this a fake, is it because the outside environment is deceiving me and trying to lure me out. Or, I just confuse my thoughts. It's not because I want to love and love again, I Just out of softness."

This chaos will not make him shake or turn him back, but it makes him hesitate a little at this moment.

Lu Xingping nodded: "I can understand, it's a simple entanglement."

"So I was a little hesitant just now, but it was just hesitation."

"It's not enough to influence my decision."

Between him and Lu Xingping, both of them are willing to obtain a legally recognized marriage relationship because the two of them do not plan to be with anyone else from now on.

Marriage is a very important word, and to obtain a legal relationship, even if they get a divorce after getting the money, in fact, the other party's name may accompany them for the rest of their lives, and there will always be a trace of records.

If you don't plan to be with others in the future, it's fine.But what if...would love someone else again?

Zhao Rong is not a person who would give up love for money.

But he's also not one to break promises and give up material things just to hesitate.

So he actually just flashed those other thoughts for a while, suppressed those confusions, and continued with what he was doing.

Lu Xingping obviously understood the key point. He squinted his eyes, drank a few mouthfuls of warm water, and yawned, before saying, "Zhao Rong, sign it. I'll go through the procedures in two days. I was just worried that you didn't Think clearly, lest you regret it in the future."

Zhao Rong was taken aback for a moment, and replied earnestly: "I think clearly. After we sign this document, we will go to collect the certificate and get the inheritance in two days."

"Okay." Lu Xingping said, "But I have some suggestions, you can listen to them and ignore them. If you didn't hesitate before signing these suggestions, I wouldn't say them, but you hesitated."

"I'm not just talking about Qiao Nanqi, I'm just talking about you."

"You said you couldn't tell the difference, because you've been wrapped in a cocoon. You haven't walked around or looked at other places, so you can't tell the difference. This is normal. If it were me, I wouldn't be sure You can tell the difference. So you might as well, don't think so much, don't get into the horns, and don't really think that you won't love anymore, open your eyes and try again."

"Go and see, go where you want to go, do what you want to do, and even try to see if you will fall in love with someone else. This person doesn't have to be Qiao Nanqi, it can be someone else, anyone."

"When you really make it clear, you think it's just a momentary soft-heartedness. You can continue to do what you want to do without delay."

"If you find that you just took a few steps forward for a walk and finally decide to turn back, that's the result of your trying, and it's the best choice."

"Aren't you actually thinking the same way? Just thinking about it in your head is not enough to tell the difference."

There was a moment of silence in the study.

Zhao Rong's eyes moved lightly, the black pupils turned around, and the lights were reflected in the eyes, like bright stars.

He laughed: "Senior understands me so well, I sometimes think, or else I and the senior will do the fake show for real."

"Lying is not a good habit."

"...how does the senior know that I haven't thought about it this way?"

"We are too similar," Lu Xingping got up slowly, packed up the duplicate documents, folded them together, and handed them to Zhao Rong, "Actually, we are the same people at heart, and people who are too similar will test each other—" — Like right now. We’re not attracted to each other.”

"Get the documents. I'll take a look at the latest arrangements tomorrow, and spare some time to go through the formalities with you that require inheritance."

Zhao Rong took the document and signed it.

When he walked to the door of Lu Xingping's house, Lu Xingping opened the door, and the cold wind blew in, blowing away the warmth of the door.

The street lamps outside cast warm light, but they seemed to be blown by the cold wind, lengthening their shadows.

Feeling the coldness on Zhao Rong's cheeks, he walked out the door, holding the document signed by him and Lu Xingping in his arms, and turned to him and said, "There is one more thing. At the wedding today, when Qiao Nanqi first came, The question I asked... I originally wanted to solve it myself, but I didn't expect the senior to answer it."

Lu Xingping shrugged his shoulders: "Oh, that, I'm not lying. Who told Nan Qi to only use the word 'like', the word 'like' covers too much, if I don't like you, don't appreciate you , why did I promise you to fulfill the marriage contract? He doesn't want to use the word 'love' himself, don't blame me."

Zhao Rong laughed at his logic: "Thank you. After all, he is your friend since childhood..."

"Nanqi over there...Actually, I was teasing you at the wedding. I had plans, and you said it. After all, he and I have been friends since we were young. And you don't have to thank him, we have always had a good relationship. Clear—don't underestimate Xiaoyue's weight in my heart."

Zhao Rong took off the wedding ring on the ring finger of her left hand that only lasted for one day, "It feels like it's only for one day, what a waste."

Lu Xingping stretched out his hand: "Give it to me."

"Eh?"

"She likes fancy jewelry." Lu Xingping put away the ring that Zhao Rong handed over.

This "she"...

Zhao Rong thought of what Lu Xiaoyue said when she went upstairs, and suddenly came to a sudden.

Lu Xingping obviously saw through his expression again, and said, "Actually, I also need a wedding, and a wedding ring that will keep me from being disturbed in the future. So, we have always been clear."

"I'm starting to be a little curious, what kind of person was Xiaoyue's sister... when she was alive?"

"A very boring person."

"...?"

"It's so boring that when we first got together, the most romantic love story she said was that she had a younger sister with the moon in her name, and she had me again, so she had stars and the moon again. But I also like Boring, write down such boring words to today."

Zhao Rong tightened the hem of his jacket, held the documents in his arms, lowered his head, and buried his chin in the scarf.

He watched the hem of the scarf swaying with the breeze, and in his mind, he suddenly remembered Qiao Nanqi's words "It's not kind, I'm not short of money" in the hospital when he was 14 years old.

He also remembers to this day.

It turned out that he and Lu Xingping were really the same kind of people.

"Senior," he smiled, his brows and eyes slightly curved, "you can return the congratulatory gift to him in a while, I think I know him, and now, not only will he not agree, but he may even become suspicious. Wait for us After getting the money, I may leave Yangcheng in a few days, take my mother with me, go to a new place, and start a new life. Before I think it through, I may not come back. That so-called congratulatory gift, please You put it away first, and then help me return it to him after I leave."

Lu Xingping just said "oh", and then said, "Have a good trip, don't get lost."

Zhao Rong: "..."

He turned to leave, but Lu Xingping called him again: "By the way, remember to pay for the coffee you drank at my house during this time."

Zhao Rong: "."

He and Lu Xingping are ghosts.

The next day.

The sun shines into Zhao Rong's bedroom, shining on the blue wallpaper, setting off gentle waves.

The coffee that Lu Xingping gave Zhao Rong last night was really good. He tossed and turned in bed late at night, thinking about a lot of things, and decided a lot of things to prepare for going to Zhuxi in a few days. He fell asleep at some time in the morning.

When Zhao Rong woke up rubbing his eyes, the sun was much higher than what he saw when he got up before.

He slowly sobered up, and the first thing he did was to call Lawyer Lin and tell him that the documents had been signed, and they would bring the proof with them after they obtained a legal relationship.

Afterwards, he stayed in bed for a while, and then began to pack the things at home, preparing to take Zhao Ming to Zhuxi in a few days.

the other end.

Tall buildings soar into the sky.

In the area where Qiao's company is located, there is a lot of traffic, and people going to work are constantly walking through it, which is no different from every corner of the crowd.

On the top floor of the main building, the elevator rang with a "ding—" and the elevator door slowly opened.

Xiao Wu turned around after walking out the door, and reluctantly recalled the feeling of taking the elevator dedicated to Qiao Nanqi—it was the first time that he felt that he could go to the office as soon as he entered the company without waiting for anything or changing floors.

Thanks to their husband for rushing him back to report.

In the light of Zhao Rong.

He walked to the half-open door of the office and knocked on the door three times, "Sir?"

"Come in."

Qiao Nanqi finally waited for Xiao Wu to come back in the office. This time, he didn't let Xiao Wu speak first, so he asked himself, "Have the things been delivered?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu did not refuse. He said thank you for the congratulatory gift. He will look over the transfer documents and cooperate with us in the formalities."

Qiao Nanqi didn't mean that at all, he asked again: "... What was Zhao Rong doing when you sent him to his house?" He was really lifeless just now, only when Zhao Rong's name was mentioned at this moment, his eyes lighted up slightly lit up.

"I didn't see Mr. Zhao, so I asked. Mr. Lu said... that Mr. Zhao was packing things at his home?"

tidy up?

Qiao Nanqi's expression paused, but he couldn't maintain his rare good look.

Zhao Rong is packing things at her own house, so is she going to move to Lu Xingping's house?

What kind of life it would be to live under the same roof, he had experienced it before, he knew it well.

Will they sleep in one room, in one bed?

Qiao Nanqi couldn't think anymore.

He dared not think about it.

He lowered his head slightly, lowered his eyes, concealed his emotions at the moment, and then said calmly, "Do you still have documents to send?"

Xiao Wu was puzzled: "Ah? I gave away everything that should be given away, didn't—"

Qiao Nanqi glanced at him.

The intuition of doing things for the young master all the year round came into play at this moment, and he immediately said: "There must be more! I'm going to find one that I can send over with a reason—ah no, find a document that needs to be sent over."

Qiao Nanqi said, "If you find it, bring it here, and I'll give it to Zhao Rong."
