Contention

"..." Lu Yuexi was still in a daze, but his body had already reacted.

Opening the door, Zou Feiniao was really standing outside.But she looked embarrassed, she seemed to be in the rain, her hair was wet, and the dark green coat was mottled with water.

A few strands of condensed hair hang down on both sides of the cheeks, dripping water, making the eyebrows and eyes look more profound and cold.

"You..." As soon as he said a word, Zou Feiniao made a movement. After cutting off the call on his mobile phone, he walked into the room and closed the door behind his back.

"Let's talk." She said, regardless of her wet body.The light in the room was dim, she opened the curtains, and it was already raining heavily outside.

Lu Yuexi quietly watched her series of movements, noticing the dusty trousers, when she turned her head to look at her, she tilted her head, avoiding her sight, and asked, "Why did you get caught in the rain?"

"I went to the restaurant by the instructor's car. It was close, so I didn't bring an umbrella. Later, I took a taxi to the bus station near the hotel, and it rained heavily on the way."

"Didn't you say you were going to discuss the topic in the afternoon?"

Zou Feiniao looked calm: "Aren't you angry?"

Lu Yuexi stood there for a moment, then remembered to wipe her hair with a dry towel.

Zou Feiniao glanced at how she was holding the towel, but said nothing.Let Lu Yuexi come over, and gently dry the loose hair with his hands.

"Like a puppy," Lu Yuexi laughed dryly. The atmosphere was weird, so the teasing joke was also dry, "What's the rush, I can't run away."

Zou Feiniao pursed his lips and looked down at her obediently.It was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger in the deep black eyes, and the pupils were clear, reflecting her face.

Lu Yuexi wanted to speak again, but the other party's long eyelashes trembled, and he grabbed her hand suddenly, saying: "The tutor is on a business trip these days, and we haven't seen him for a long time. I have a lot of questions about statistics and I want to ask him personally. So today's meeting has to go."

The girl is explaining.After listening in silence for a while, Lu Yuexi withdrew his hand and threw the towel onto the sofa chair beside him.

She thought of the sea-going activities from yesterday's preparations to today, as well as all the detailed arrangements for fear of omissions.Now it seems that it is really superfluous and a waste of effort.

angry?definitely.

Especially since the current identity of the other party is still her lover, even if the incident happened suddenly, why didn't she even have the slightest thought of struggling, and just ran to the meeting?

Perhaps there were trade-offs in the process, but it was obvious that Lu Yuexi was the one who was given up.And she believed that according to Zou Feiniao's temperament, the weighing time would definitely not exceed 1 minute.

When people have expectations, they will go one step further, giving birth to greed/desire.It's even worse between lovers. When the other party doesn't act according to his expectations, he will easily become angry. What's more, in Lu Yuexi's opinion, Zou Feiniao has not even done the most basic things.

"...I don't want to quarrel with you." After a long silence, Lu Yuexi sighed slightly, "No matter how much you say in your heart, this meeting is the most important to you, but from a distance, where is my position? If something like this happens again in the future, do you still want to leave me behind and finish these things first?"

"..."

"Feibiao," said in a deep tone, "I don't understand what you're busy with. I can't be like you, staying in the laboratory every day to check these data that seem meaningless to me. But I also have my own I can give up my job and come when I say anything, and I can’t wait for anything. I understand your pursuit, and I have been considerate and tolerant many times, but I am in your heart..."

After a pause, I still couldn't hold back, and said this sentence: "Is it not important at all? My position is so far back?"

Zou Feiniao seemed to be stepped on a pain point. He was staring at a certain corner of the room when he heard her speak, but now he turned his head and looked at her.

But there was no expression on his face, just his eyes, Qi Dan who couldn't tell.

Lu Yuexi was pierced by her eyes, a little uncomfortable: "Why did you agree to my marriage proposal back then?"

"..."

"We're already engaged, aren't we? Haven't you already promised me?" Lu Yuexi's tone was not aggressive, but more embarrassing and tired, as if talking to himself, "Why do I always feel that, You seem to be annoyed by my pursuit, and you don't have much thought for others, so you agreed to me? Could it be that if I don't do anything and don't take the initiative, the relationship between the two of us will end a long time ago? "

As she spoke, she suddenly followed suit.

It seemed that she had always been looking for the other party. The distance between the two had been widening, and she was chasing desperately, while the other party had been standing still, but he didn't even intend to take a step towards her, and even seemed to be running in the opposite direction.

At first it was a refusal, but later she had to push it halfway under her stalking, and then she blindly accepted it.

She wants what Lu Yue cherishes, and never takes the initiative to ask for it.

The mountains are high and the water is long, and the journey is far away. It seems that the girl has never considered adding her own place in the long-term and grand arrangements for the future.

Lu Yuexi is not afraid of paying too much.

What she was afraid of was getting used to it after wishful thinking.

Silence, like dead silence.

Zou Feiniao just looked at her like this, and Lu Yuexi was so heartbroken that he stopped looking at her.The nerves in her brain were tense all the time, and with the hard sleep last night, her head inevitably ached.

In the silence, she heard the rustling of cloth.Zou Feiniao moved, but he didn't approach her.

"...Why did I agree to your marriage proposal?" A flat question asked, but Lu Yuexi couldn't raise her head, "Why did you agree, do you really have no idea? It's not like I never refused you, if it was true If you don't want to, I won't pay any attention to you at all."

"..."

"You think you're not important, which means I'm too busy with my work, right? But Lu Yuexi, have you ever thought about how old I am now?" Choked up, it wasn't a plaintive sob, it was more like a frozen melt Yan broke through the ice, different from other people's thin haired anger, Zou Feiniao's emotions are always suppressed to a terrible state, even when released, it is calm and clear, "What do I have now? Money, fame, fortune , or those pursuits that seem ridiculous and illusory to you?"

"...You have your whole family behind you to pave the way for you, you have a company and connections, how long will it take me to chase the half of the things you have? You really give me what you want, here It’s so easy, you don’t even have to worry about it.” Zou Feiniao’s voice trembled almost unconsciously, “Have you ever thought that when you want to take back all that you gave me one day, what should I do? What can I use to keep you, and what can I have to make you keep your eyes on me?"

"You give it so easy, why don't people think about it, don't doubt it, is it so easy when you take it back one day?"

"If I were still only 17 years old and just fell in love with your original state, then I would never look back, and I would not even plan to study abroad. But it is different now, Lu Yuexi, too many things have happened. Even this The face is just a substitute, I want to keep you in the future, what should I keep? If one day you get bored and want to leave, at least I still have a job I love, and I can continue to do what I like. "

Lu Yuexi was speechless.This is the first time that Zou Feiniao has confessed so much to her, so frightened, so worried.

After she finished speaking, she still looked at herself, her gaze was dim, and those unspeakable fragility and inferiority complex turned into deeper emotions.

But after thinking about it carefully, apart from pity, my heart is cold.

Lu Yuexi couldn't imagine that when the other party took his ring, he was already ready to take it off one day.

When she kissed herself, was she intoxicated on the one hand, and on the other hand forced not to fall into a deep sobriety?

"Don't you get a sense of security from me?" Lu Yuexi raised her eyes to look at her, her movements were a little stiff, "I agree to wait for you, I will find you whenever I have time, set up a foundation for you, and learn about some of the things you like to do After these things, and even after proposing marriage and calling family members, do you still have no way to feel safe? Do you still think that we will not go too far?"

She smiled wryly, "Fei Niao, I told you everything, I really didn't regard you as Ye Huai anymore, I had already let go of you in those ten years, Ye Huai is far less important than you now, why did I do so much, After proving it for so long, do you still hold grudges?"

"...I saw it that day." Zou Feiniao said suddenly, "Ye Huai sent you a message."

Lu Yue hesitated: "What?"

Zou Feiniao looked unwilling to say more, lowered his eyes, his face pale: "If you want to turn around and go to her, I don't mind. After all, not everyone has a love experience as long as ten years."

Lu Yuexi gradually came to her senses, and she was about to explain: "It's because of me and her..."

Having said that, he suddenly got stuck.Ye Huai suddenly contacted her about this matter, she herself felt baffled, let alone explain why.

Just friends with her?What kind of friend, just a coincidence.She knew in her heart how much Ye Huai hated herself.

"I'm leaving." Zou Feiniao frowned, as if she didn't want to hear it. Seeing Lu Yuexi's complicated expression and being silent for a while, she walked towards the door, opened it, and said indifferently, "I don't mean to get emotional either. Anyway, if you go back on your word and want to find her or someone else, I can accept it, and the choice is up to you. After all, I still have to study now, so I can’t stay by your side. It takes longer to study for a Ph. D., and I also feel indebted. The two of us first... let’s calm down and think about it. If you leave tomorrow, I won’t send you off.”

"Kacha—" With a soft sound, the door was closed again.She really didn't have much intention to get angry, the door was closed lightly.

Lu Yuexi still stood where he was, staring at the door panel that cut off his sight, and finally heaved a long sigh.

Only then did she notice that Zou Feiniao hadn't put on the ring from the beginning to the end.
