He had a crush on him for 12 years and divorced

Ren Zhaoyuan could not but admit the shock when he heard this sentence.

Such a show of love is like a farewell before leaving, a last word on a dead end.

Desperation reveals a piece of willingness and sincerity.

Tell you the deepest and weakest heart, not a request, not a reply, just give you all when there is still a chance, whether you want it or not.

like a sacrifice.

Ren Zhaoyuan was surprised when he saw the document in the afternoon.

When he asked Zheng He to investigate, he was suspicious, and it was Zhao Yuanqing, not Tan Zheng.

Regarding the fact that Tan Zheng likes him, Ren Zhaoyuan can at most trace it back to the opening banquet of Tongzhou Manor based on his behavior, and since then the contact has increased and the understanding has deepened.

But no matter how early, Ren Zhaoyuan never thought about it.

It's not that he had no contact with Tan Zheng in the past few years, because Tan Zheng invested in his studio, and Ren Zhaoyuan received several times alone.Moreover, in City S, the business circle is so big, and Tan Zheng may be encountered in many large receptions accompanied by Zhao Yuanqing.

It's never been more than a nod.

Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't imagine that for so many years, the casual acquaintances he thought were silently paying attention to his whereabouts and following his trajectory.

This is so unreasonable.

Even in the drama, a person can have a deep-rooted affection for another person just by meeting on one side, even if Tan Zheng really fell in love with him when the two of them did not have a deep friendship, then why have there been countless opportunities to get close to talk over the years? , Tan Zheng never had it?

The solemn, traditional, and unsmiling in his previous impression of Tan Zheng stemmed from Tan Zheng's indifference and distance every time he met.

So even with these evidences in front of him, Ren Zhaoyuan still dare not make a conclusion.

Maybe there's a one percent chance it's a coincidence.

But now, Tan Zheng clearly told him that it was not a coincidence.

The most unexpected time has passed, and now what surprised Ren Zhaoyuan even more was Tan Zheng's tears.

Tan Zheng lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but Ren Zhaoyuan could clearly see the transparent liquid like crystal beads falling down.

The room was so quiet that you could hear the faint sound of tears hitting the floor.

Ren Zhaoyuan tasted sourness in his silent tears.

Then, another one.

"Tan Zheng..."

"Well," Tan Zheng responded vaguely, wiped his eyes and straightened up, subconsciously trying to dodge and forced himself to look directly at Ren Zhaoyuan, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this, and I won't do it in the future."

His eyes were a little red, not obvious, and he couldn't tell that he had cried.

Like a child who was exposed by the teacher after doing something wrong.

Panic, fear, bewilderment, and after fear, I forced myself to face it, admit my mistake, apologize, and then wait for the expected sentence.

A vague and indescribable sense of familiarity rose in Ren Zhaoyuan's heart, just like this Tan Zheng, whom he had met a long time ago.

"You..." Tan Zheng swallowed a few times and adjusted his voice, "You said, I can also ask you a question, does it still count?"

"Analyze, you ask."

"What can I do to make you calm down?" Tan Zheng moved his lips, but finally lowered his eyes again, "I can do anything, as long as you calm down."

Pausing for a second, Tan Zheng added softly: "It's okay to disappear a little."

"I do not.."

Before he finished speaking, Ren Zhaoyuan was stunned.

What is he trying to say?

I am not angry.

why?

Why are you not angry?

Even Tan Zheng himself knew that what he did was wrong, neither honorable nor frank, even though these things were restrained and measured, did not let him notice, did not affect his normal life, but wrong is wrong.

Tan Zheng made a mistake.

Strictly speaking, this is stalking that invades privacy.

But why did he still let Tan Zheng in?

Why is it possible to coexist peacefully with Tan Zheng when there is only a one percent coincidence?

Why can he talk and eat with Tan Zheng as if this incident never happened?

Why is it just a surprise, just analyzing the unreasonableness of this matter, without resistance or disgust, and not even maintaining a special distance?

Does he not care about such things?

No.

Ren Zhaoyuan knows better than anyone else how much he dislikes similar things. He dislikes unscrupulous behaviors, unreasonable emotions, and design traps in any sense.

Then why don't you feel disgusted when you put it on Tan Zheng?

Is it just because Tan Zheng didn't regard these as bargaining chips or has always controlled the scale?

If this is the case, then put these things on others, Zhao Yuanqing, Kang You, or Tongzhou Zhao Chen Yao Qiming Zheng He, he can also do not mind?

Moving forward, is the friction between Tan Zheng and Zhao Yuanqing really his responsibility?

Does he really have to find a way to solve it?

The two people used him as a reason to attack without his consent, so why should he be responsible for the results?

Ren Zhaoyuan has never been a person who escapes from his heart.

He may make choices against his will for various reasons, but he does not know what his real thoughts are.

All why, there is only one answer.

Because this person is Tan Zheng.

Because he has more than just a good impression of Tan Zheng.

So I was afraid that he would suffer a loss in the face of Zhao Yuanqing, and that he would offend the forces and ruin his years of hard work.

Therefore, I gave in and tolerated, worried and thought, and unknowingly accepted what should be disgusting, and did what was out of habit.

He likes Tan Zheng.

Ren Zhaoyuan leaned back on the sofa with his arms folded, quietly watching Tan Zheng from a distance away from the coffee table.

The line of sight moves from the half of the forearm with clear muscles and veins exposed by the dropped sleeves after washing the dishes, to the protruding throat bone, and then upwards to the sharp-edged jaw and blinking eyes.

He actually, really likes Tan Zheng.

Tan Zheng's back was covered with sweat when Ren Zhaoyuan watched, and his Adam's apple rolled and rolled uncontrollably. I don't know if Ren Zhaoyuan's words that only said two words meant that he didn't want to do it or that there was no need to do it for him. He is angry.

"Brother Zhaoyuan..."

Now I don't call names directly.

Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't bear to be troubled by his frightened appearance, and said bluntly: "I'm not angry."

Tan Zheng couldn't realize for a while what this lack of anger meant, and felt that it was impossible for what he had done to be indifferent, that is... unnecessary?

Having reached this point, Tan Zheng went all out and asked Ren Zhaoyuan directly: "Are you not angry because of these things? Or is there no need to be angry with me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't want to answer: "This is the second question."

Tan Zheng calmed down obediently: "Then you ask."

Ren Zhaoyuan has nothing to ask.

Since he doesn't intend to develop a relationship with Tan Zheng, he shouldn't ask the bottom line about this relationship.

But Tan Zheng..

Ren Zhaoyuan thought about it casually: "You said that for some reason, you unilaterally cut off the cooperation with Zhao Yuanqing's new project. Why?"

"I know him..." Tan Zheng lowered his voice, "I'm sorry for what I did to you, and I can't be angry."

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't comment, just said: "Understood."

The hour hand of the clock has begun to tilt upwards to the number 11, Ren Zhaoyuan returned to the topic.

"Tan Zheng, thank you for your sincerity. I deserve it. You are excellent and very good, but we are not suitable. You are still young and have a long life, so you will meet someone more suitable."

After Tan Zheng finished speaking, he was silent for a while before speaking: "The first question you asked first, I should be able to ask the last one."

"You want to ask the question just now?"

"No, you don't have to answer, but you must tell the truth and not lie to me."

Ren Zhaoyuan nodded: "Okay."

Tan Zheng looked straight into his eyes without blinking, and said word by word: "Do you like me?"

The premise in front of this question is too precise, leaving no room for Ren Zhaoyuan at all.

Ren Zhaoyuan sighed softly, and said: "Tan Zheng, I am not suitable for you, you will meet someone better, young, simple, with a lively and passionate soul, who can give you undefended and unreserved love, and I cannot."

Tan Zheng's voice trembled slightly: "Do you like me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't speak.

"You like me, know that I love you, but feel that you are not suitable for me?" Tan Zheng frowned as if puzzled, "It's like, a child watched the whole night outside the window for a piece of cake, and finally Wait until the door lock is unlocked and the clerk tells him the taste is not suitable for him?"

"Tan Zheng..."

Tan Zheng's eyes were completely red: "No one knows better than me what I want and what suits me. You don't have to give it to me, but I don't accept this reason."

"Okay," Ren Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes, "Just talk about myself, I have no intention of starting a relationship, and I don't want anyone's feelings to hang on me, especially..."

"Tan Zheng, I don't want to give, and I don't want to accept, sorry."

The time reminder on the phone popped up again, and Ren Zhaoyuan got up first to get Tan Zheng's dried clothes.

I don't know how long Tan Zheng stood downstairs, his coat was very wet.After hesitating for a few seconds, Ren Zhaoyuan found a handbag to put his coat in, and gave him his own.

Tan Zheng put it on.

But did not go.

He took a step closer to Ren Zhaoyuan, and Ren Zhaoyuan also wanted to retreat, but only bumped into the wall behind him.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to give it, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to accept it."

Tan Zheng was already a few centimeters taller than Ren Zhaoyuan, and the heels of his leather shoes were higher than his slippers. Now standing in front of him at such a close distance, the height difference actually made Ren Zhaoyuan subconsciously hold his breath.

"you.."

Tan Zheng didn't make any further moves, just looked down at Ren Zhaoyuan, his expression and tone were extremely serious: "I accept the rejection, but I can't give up. I haven't before, and I won't in the future. If you confirm the relationship with others, I will never give up. Disappeared from your life, but only disappeared."

Ren Zhaoyuan frowned: "Tan Zheng..."

"You can act as if you don't know, you can act as if nothing happened, you can tell me what makes you uncomfortable at any time, you can make me do anything, you can hang me, or you can refuse me. Actually, I don't want you to promise anything , as long as you allow me to be by your side."

"It's not fair."

"I don't need fairness," Tan Zheng said, "I just want you."

Ren Zhaoyuan swallowed, and changed the topic: "It's going to be late to the airport."

Tan Zheng didn't move: "When you were playing before, you owed me a lottery, and you promised to pay me back if you promised to be good."

"You want affection?"

"I want your unfairness," Tan Zheng's eyes were full, reflecting Ren Zhaoyuan's appearance, "Give me a little bit of your unfairness, okay?"

Ren Zhaoyuan looked at him, but Tan Zheng's eyes were too sincere and burning.

After a long time, Ren Zhaoyuan finally couldn't bear to look away, opened the door in some embarrassment, and whispered in the sudden winter night: "Happy New Year."
