Chapter 113 Jiang Xiaoshu, please reply to me, please
The moon was high in the sky, and the frost-white moonlight reflected on the ground through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
There is no light on in the quiet living room. Under the moonlight, you can see a figure curled up in the corner of the sofa.
Xi Ruan hugged his knees and buried his head deeply in his arms.
Her long hair was spread around, her shoulders shook occasionally, and she could faintly hear the sound of rapid inhalation.
Xi Ruan actually didn’t want to cry at all.
But as long as she thought about Jiang Lingsi opening her hand, thinking about his cold eyes and back at the end, and thinking about him really rejecting her, she couldn't control herself.
What she was confident about, felt good about herself, and thought it would all come naturally has now become her wishful thinking.
She didn’t even know how she got back. It seemed like the rich man had arranged a car for her.
When she went upstairs, she went to Jiang Lingsi's house first.
But after ringing the doorbell and knocking on the door for a long time, she didn't get any response until her hands hurt.
She didn't know whether it was because he hadn't come back yet, or because he didn't want to see her, or maybe -
He didn't come back because he didn't want to see her.
All the messages and phone calls sent to him fell into vain.
She couldn't figure out what was going on.
Obviously before, he hugged her very affectionately, kissed her face, and let her sleep in his arms.
Obviously he took her on a date the day before and had so much fun together.
Obviously they made an agreement to wait for her to win the championship tonight...
But why is this the result.
The words Jiang Lingsi said when he rejected her echoed over and over in his mind. Xi Ruan slowly raised his head, revealing his red and swollen tearful eyes.
She grabbed the phone next to her and entered the words she had sent countless times into the dialog box again.
XR: [I don’t regard gratitude as love. 】
XR: 【Really. 】
XR: [I just like you. ]
XR: [I don’t need your support either. ]
XR: [Jiang Xiaoshu, please reply to me, okay. 】
——
Jiang Lingsi silently read all the messages, shook his fingers on the screen a few times, and finally put the phone directly on the table.
There were not many people at the food stall at 3 o'clock in the morning. There was only a table of middle-aged men drinking and chatting in the distance.
When Hoda arrived, he saw his son sitting on the chair with his head lowered.
He had his hands in his pockets, his posture was not as carefree as usual, and there was an inexplicable aura of depression lingering around him.
Hoda shook his head, feeling that he must have seen it wrong, and walked straight over.
"Why did you call your father over in the middle of the night?" Hoda punched Jiang Lingsi on the shoulder to vent his anger.
However, the strange thing is that Jiang Lingsi didn't react at all, and didn't even glance at him.
Hoda really realized something was wrong this time. He quickly pulled up a chair and sat next to him. He bowed and looked at Jiang Lingsi's expression and shook him: "Fuck! What are you doing? Why is it like his dead father?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hoda said, "No, I am your father. Besides, you must be dead." I can only be happy!"
Seeing that Jiang Lingsi still didn't respond, looking abnormally scary, he looked around, trying to find the person who could arouse his emotions.
"Where's Sister Ruan? You didn't bring her out? My classmates said that you two must have made an appointment to express your love for each other today. I thought you called me out to show your affection."
< br>Actually, Jiang Lingsi doesn't like to talk about this kind of thing. Although Huo Da doesn't watch the show often, he can't bear to discuss it with everyone on the hot search topic Baba in the class group. It's hard not to know these things.
When Xi Ruan was mentioned, Jiang Lingsi's eyelids finally moved.
He blinked slowly and said lightly: "Rejected."
"???" Hoda's mind was suddenly filled with questions.
Looking at Jiang Lingsi’s appearance, he said with a look of disbelief: “Isn’t it?! She rejected you?! Then we all misunderstood!? In fact, she doesn’t like you at all!?”
Hoda pressed his forehead with both hands. He couldn't believe that his son was so handsome and could be rejected by Xi Ruan when he was so good to him!
"Isn't she blind!? Or is her brain flooded!? Could it be that after winning the championship, she feels that she is so superior that you are not good enough for her!?"
Hoda thought All possibilities, the more I thought about it, the angrier I became, rolling up my sleeves and looking like I was going to fight.
Just when he took out his cell phone and was about to call Xi Ruan and scold her, Jiang Lingsi spoke up again.
"I rejected her."
"I know she rejected you! Don't worry, dad is sure...!?"
"What did you say!?" Hoda's eyes widened. In just a few minutes, he felt that this world was mysterious.
"You said you rejected her!? Are you crazy!? Or are you out of your mind!? Could your stepmother have given you some neurotoxin?"
"Anyone with eyes knows this You like her so much that you actually told me that you rejected her!"
Huo Da grabbed Jiang Lingsi's shoulders and shook her hard, staring at him closely.
"Tell me! Did you have someone change your soul!? Ever since you were a child!! More than ten years!! You have been thinking about it for more than ten years!!"
"In the end! Are you crazy or am I crazy? I am dreaming! This kind of thing can only happen in a dream!"
Hoda is standing aside. Jiang Lingsi had already begun to pinch himself to make sure he was dreaming, and Jiang Lingsi finally raised his head.
He scanned the QR code and ordered a few bottles of wine, and the store immediately delivered them.
“Drink some with me.” He pushed a bottle towards Hoda.
After grinning and screaming in pain a few times, Hoda finally realized that he was in reality. He took the bottle and looked at Jiang Lingsi for a few times and sighed.
"What's going on? Tell me." He knew that he must have wanted to tell him what was in his heart before he called him over.
Jiang Lingsi knocked off the bottle cap directly on the edge of the table, raised the bottle and filled half of it first.
With a "bang" sound, the bottom of the bottle hit the table hard. Jiang Lingsi leaned back again and stated in a smooth tone: "Something happened to the company. Several investors suddenly withdrew their capital and the funds were cut off. The turnover is difficult, and now is the critical period for publicity. If it collapses, everything will be in vain."
"Lao Fan couldn't find anyone to invest, so he finally told me that he had no choice."< br>
"We can only borrow loan sharks. If the revenue of this game is ideal, everything will be fine. If it is not ideal... I will probably have to live on the street."
Hoda was shocked when he heard this. , hands unconsciously grasped the chair: "Why don't you come to me for such a big thing!? What kind of loan shark!?"
Jiang Lingsi glanced at him, then looked back at the wine bottle Bubbles, "Can I not know how much money you usually have in your hand? How can you help me if you don't have money? Ask your parents for it? They don't want to see me in the first place."
Hoda said a little ashamedly Lowering his head, he loved to play racing cars, was very money-consuming, and was used to spending a lot of money. He usually didn't save any money at all.
"Anyway, I will try to find a way to help you raise money during this period. Don't worry. If the sky falls, dad will help you hold it up!" Hoda patted his chest and was already planning to sell his car. go.
"No need." Jiang Lingsi saw through his thoughts at a glance and refused directly: "I have to deal with my own affairs myself. I don't want any money if you give me. Besides, things haven't really developed yet. That point.”
Hoda's car was his heart's content, and he didn't want him to cut it out.
Hoda has his own little Jiujiu. He understands that his son is too proud, seems to not care about anything but is very affectionate, so he will definitely reject him. Even if he gives the money, it must be through other means.
He stopped continuing the topic, opened the beer bottle cap, and asked Xi Ruan, "So where is Sister Ruan, did you reject her because of this?"
"... ..." Jiang Lingsi rubbed his fingers, thinking of the scene of the two people hugging each other, especially Xi Ruan's eyes, and replied in a deep voice: "Not really."
"What do you mean?"
"She probably doesn't really like me." Jiang Lingsi lowered his eyes again, poured the wine into the cup and took a few sips.
"???? What the hell!?" Hoda felt that he had suffered too many shocks this night and had begun to doubt his life.
"Jiang Lingsi! Are you kidding me!? Even if I am blind, I can tell with my ears that she likes you!! Which of your eyes can tell that she doesn't like you? !?"
"Two eyes." Jiang Lingsi took a sip of wine and continued: "I am always helping her. She must have accidentally misunderstood gratitude and got used to me. "When she meets someone she really loves, she will soon understand that gratitude is different from liking."
"..."
The air fell into silence, and after a while, Hoda spoke.
"Then you just let it go?" Hoda clenched the bottle, feeling a little reluctant for Jiang Lingsi, "She obviously confessed to you..."
"Hoda "Jiang Lingsi called him in a low tone, then leaned against the table and smiled softly, "If one day she will leave me -"
"Then I would rather never have. I got it." He paused and said the last words, but the smile on his lips looked bitter.
“…”
Hoda opened his mouth and cast worried eyes over, but he didn’t know what to say.
He knew that he must have encountered something or seen something before he said this, otherwise he would not say it lightly. Moreover, he himself has never been in love, and he doesn't really understand it, so he doesn't dare to speak nonsense.
Besides... Jiang Lingsi was deeply influenced by his mother when he was young.
Jiang’s mother is a person who drinks love almost as water. Before falling in love, she focused on her career. After falling in love, the whole world almost revolves around that man.
Jiang's mother always thought that her love was lucky and perfect. She got married when she fell in love for the first time, her husband was gentle and considerate, and they gave birth to the child of love. She thought they would be a couple for the rest of their lives. Until she discovered that everything was a scam, all the perfection and romance she thought were illusions, and all her years of dedication and affection had become bubbles and jokes, so she couldn't bear such a huge blow and committed suicide.
Although Jiang Lingsi never said what expectations he had for relationships, he felt that under the influence of Jiang Mu, he was probably similar to Jiang Mu and hoped that the person he liked would love him back. The same feelings will go on forever.
So, if she didn't really like him, if she would leave him, he would rather they had never been together, never had those illusions, let alone let himself be addicted to the illusion and unable to escape. .
Hoda sighed silently and patted Jiang Lingsi's shoulder gently.
At this time, the always arrogant and willful young man put his arms on the table, his head lowered, and his dark eyes hidden by his long eyelashes contained a dark light, and he looked extremely disappointed.
Hoda raised the bottle and touched his glass, "Stop saying anything, I will drink with you!"
Jiang Lingsi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, two I drank one glass after another, one bottle after another, and soon became a little tipsy.
I don’t know when, the store started to play a song, and the vicissitudes of life male voice in the stereo sang sadly.
"I am unraveling my lies. I shouldn't have said that I don't love her at the beginning. If we really have a tomorrow, we will just fall in love and kill each other..."
Jiang Lingsi wouldn't do it at all. Pay attention to this kind of music. However, this person sang the lyrics very clearly, and he could understand every sentence.
"Fuck, who played this song?" He frowned irritably and cast a sharp gaze into the store.
Hoda stood up unsteadily and comforted him, "Don't worry, I will let the boss cut the song."
Just when Hoda was about to leave his seat, a group of people Walked towards them.
"Eh?! Isn't this Brother Si?! Why are you here with us?!" The leading red-haired young man made a surprised expression and came directly to Jiang Lingsi.
"Brother Si, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come on, I will show my respect to you first." Hong Mao took out a box of famous cigarettes and handed them over, took out a lighter and waited to light a cigarette for him.
He had just received a message from his younger brother saying that he saw Jiang Lingsi drinking here. He was afraid that he would come over to upset them because he was in a bad mood, so he hurried over, hoping to cheer him up. To avoid being beaten for any reason.
It’s not like Jiang Lingsi has never done this before.
Jiang Lingsi glanced at the cigarette in front of him. Before he could say anything, Hoda took the lead in squeezing over and knocking off Hong Mao's hand, "Go, go, your brother Si has quit smoking. Stop smoking." . "
"Huh?" Hong Mao was stunned, straightened up, and then complimented with a smile, "It's good to quit, it's good for your health! Just quit!"
Huo Da curled his lips and rolled his eyes at Jiang Lingsi.
It's good for the body, but it's a pity that it's for other people's bodies.
The voice of his little soft bag is so precious, how can it be polluted by the smell of cigarette smoke.
After Xi Ruan's throat was cured, this guy threw away all his cigarettes. When he went to his house, he even saw the balcony covered with clothes and bedsheets in a mess, and they were washed fragrantly, for fear of his own clothes or something The smell of smoke still lingered on his precious throat.
Hoda sighed heavily again. They are not even together yet, but his son is already like this. If they are really together, and they fall deeper and deeper into each other, he may even give her his life.
Ninety-nine percent of people are also in love.
Hoda judged this.
Hongmao couldn't understand Hoda's expression, but this did not hinder his determination to coax Jiang Lingsi. He directly pulled up a chair and raised his hand to call the boss over.
"Brother Si, you can order whatever you want to eat. I'm treating you today!"
"Come on, come on, brothers, sit down and drink with Brother Si! I'm happy to have you with Brother Si!" ! Let him feel our enthusiasm and warmth!”
A group of people ate and drank lively until daybreak.
Jiang Lingsi didn't take a taxi. He walked alone on the empty street and blew in the cool breeze. His drunkenness gradually dissipated.
[Host, the mission target has been experiencing great negative mood swings from last night to early morning. Do you not care anymore? ] The system made a weak sound. It had been calling the police, but Jiang Lingsi kept telling him to shut up and took no action, so it simply stopped reporting.
Jiang Lingsi glanced at the system interface and continued walking slowly, [Isn't it okay now? She just couldn't figure it out for the moment, and she will be fine soon. 】
The system was very confused and couldn't help but ask: [Why aren't you with her? She has confessed her love to you, she must like you. 】
Jiang Lingsi snorted, as if he was laughing at the system, but also at himself, [What do you know? 】
Being despised by Jiang Lingsi again, the system angrily retorted: [I know better! I just don’t understand why, host, you are so hesitant! Don’t you humans have a saying called live in the present? ! Since you like her and she says she likes you, why don’t you care about so many things and do what you do together? ! 】
【If you accidentally burp one day, you will definitely regret not agreeing to her confession today, and you will regret it in the next life! 】
"..." Jiang Lingsi lowered his eyes. After a few seconds of silence, he scolded in a deep voice: "Stop browsing the Internet to see what is available and what is not." 】
The system was so angry that it didn’t want to pay attention to him, shrank up and stopped saying anything.
Finally returned to the community, Jiang Lingsi walked into the elevator, his steps still a little unsteady.
Leaning against the wall of the elevator car, he moved his fingers to the panel. When he slid past Xi Ruan's floor, he paused obviously, and then pressed the floor he was on.
The elevator rose slowly, and the numbers on the display screen kept changing. When everything stopped, the elevator door slowly opened.
Jiang Lingsi moved his legs and stepped out of the elevator, but he froze in place as soon as he turned the corner.
The corridor brightly illuminated by the overhead lights has an unobstructed view, and the white tiles are so clean that they can reflect people's shadows. However, right in front of his door, a girl is hugging her knees and falling to the ground with a pale face. !
“Xi Ruan!?”
