When Xiao Zhiyi came to find Bai Shuang, Bai Shuang had been sitting at the door of Qihe Group for several hours. His legs were numb, but his mind, which was numb and confused at first, became more and more awake the more he sat here.
"Second sister."
Xiao Zhiyi hugged her: "Are you okay?"
Bai Shuang shook his head. He hadn't drank water for several hours, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm fine, how did you know I'm here?"
Of course it was Du Qianli who called Du Qianhe, and Du Qianhe called her again.
"My aunt at home said you didn't go home, so I guess you might have come here."
Xiao Zhiyi was afraid that Bai Shuang would be sad if she told the truth.
Bai Shuang hummed and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Xiao Zhiyi unscrewed the mineral water and handed it to her, sat down next to her, and asked: "Second sister, do you want to see him?"
Bai Shuang slowly drank a sip of water, letting the sweet mineral water moisturize her dry throat. After her throat felt a little better, she answered this question.
"I really wanted to see him on the way here, and I also had many questions to ask him.
I wanted to ask him why he didn't tell me, why he had to push me away, and who I was in his eyes.
I also want to ask him if he can give up revenge and hand over the evildoers to the police and the law.
I want to ask him if he can protect himself for me and Nono.
But as I sat here for several hours, my mind became clearer and clearer as I sat.
What's wrong with him? There's nothing wrong with him wanting to protect me. There's nothing wrong with him wanting to avenge his parents. There's nothing wrong with him wanting those who have violated the law to be punished by the law.
Who am I to ask him to give up his parents' hatred? Even if he gives up for me and Nono, will he really be happy in the future?
He won't. The person who killed his parents is still at large, but he is enjoying the happiness of a family of three. If he can't overcome the obstacles in his heart, he will never let go of hatred. Instead of carrying hatred all his life, it is better to repay it happily.
This hatred.
So I can't be so selfish, selfishly trying to persuade him to give up hatred, selfishly wanting him to live like a walking zombie."
Du Qianli like that was no different from dead. That was not what she wanted to see.
Xiao Zhiyi did not expect that Bai Shuang could see her own affairs so clearly. Even she, a bystander, could not easily understand Du Qianli's behavior. However, Bai Shuang was relieved in just a few hours.
"Second sister, haven't you ever complained about him?
Even if he was trying to protect you, he actually hurt you."
Xiao Zhiyi asked.
Bai Shuang shook his head: "No, I didn't blame him.
I am the one I want to like, Nono is the one I want to have, and it is my choice to leave.
When you meet a scumbag, it’s because you have a bad taste, don’t treat others well, and complain about others, so how can you live a good life in the future.”
When she was in college, a female classmate in her class had a boyfriend who was a scumbag. Later, she began to become extreme and finally committed suicide.
She was thinking at that time that if she encountered someone unkind in the future, she must not blame others, let alone end her own life. She would regard it as a disaster in her life, and she should still live well in the future.
"Second sister, you are so strong."
Xiao Zhiyi admired her sincerely. She felt that Du Qianli was not worthy of her sister.
Bai Shuang smiled slightly: "This is not about being strong, it should be considered Ah Q's spirit. Only by being open-minded about everything can you live a happier life."
"Then second sister, if Du Qianli comes to you again after avenging his parents, will you still be with him?"
Xiao Zhiyi asked.
"I have no idea."
Bai Shuang hasn't thought about this problem yet: "Maybe, maybe not.
In fact, in the past few years, I have become accustomed to living without him. Now that I have Nono again, I am very satisfied.
Now I just hope that he can be well and he can be well in the future. Whether we are together or not is not that important."
“But if you like someone, don’t you just want to stay together forever?
It would be so painful if we couldn't stay together forever."
Xiao Zhiyi doesn't quite understand Bai Shuang's mentality.
"It's best if we can stay together forever. If we can't, wouldn't it be good if we both stay well?"
Bai Shuang said.
It is our wish to stay together forever, and our bottom line is to be well.
If staying together for a long time will cost both people a heavy price, then she hopes that both of them will be well, and that the living can occasionally see each other, but the dead will never see each other again.
If she grabs Du Qianli and refuses to let go at this time, it will be an extremely painful and dangerous thing for both of them.
And she hopes he is safe.
Xiao Zhiyi benefited a lot and kept Bai Shuang's words firmly in mind.
"Let's go, I'm hungry, come with me to get something to eat."
Bai Shuang calmed down for a while and her legs were no longer so numb, so she took the lead in pulling Xiao Zhiyi to stand up.
Xiao Zhiyi nodded: "I haven't eaten yet, let's go eat something delicious."
The two sisters walked hand in hand towards the opposite side of the road and slowly disappeared from Du Qianli's sight.
Du Qianhe waited for them to pass by before getting out of the car. He went directly into Qihe Group and went up to the president's floor.
When he came in, Du Qianli was still standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking downstairs, wishing he could stand like a watchman's stone.
Du Qianhe snorted: "You are looking for abuse."
Du Qianli glanced at him lightly, and his voice was also hoarse: "Why are you here?"
"Let's see if you're still alive."
Du Qianhe rolled his eyes, dragged him to the sofa and sat down, and began to pour him tea.
Du Qianli took a few sips from the teacup and said, "I'm fine.
Do you know everything?"
"what do you know?"
Du Qianhe pretended to be stupid.
Du Qianli didn't bother to play charades with him and said, "Watch your mouth and don't ruin my plan."
"Tell me what plan you have, and I will keep it secret for you."
Du Qianhe took the opportunity to 'blackmail' Du Qianli.
Du Qianli ignored him, knowing that he wouldn't talk nonsense.
Du Qianhe sighed, knowing that blackmail was useless, and weakly persuaded: "Brother, you are taking risks now and risking your own life. Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"We still don’t know who will lose and who will win. If we don’t do it, we will never win."
Du Qianli said.
"Brother!"
Du Qianhe was anxious: "Is your life more important, or hatred?
If your uncle and aunt are still alive, they will definitely hope that you can live well."
"They're already dead."
Du Qianli tightened his fingers slightly to control the hatred in his eyes: "Qianhe, I can't let go.
I can’t forget the pain my dad looked like when he died, just like the burn scars on my body, they will be marked on me for the rest of my life.”
If the person who killed his parents is not made to pay the price, he will always live in pain. Living will be like death, and he will not be able to bring happiness to others. That would be selfish for himself and others.
"What about Bai Shuang and Noonuo? Have you ever thought about them?
If you die, what will they do if they are orphans and widowers?"
Du Qianhe still tried to persuade him to turn back.
"They will live just fine without me.
Being humble, I can't give them anything.
If I have a future, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to them. If I don’t have a future, I will have to pay them back in the next life."
Du Qianli said.
He was already with Bai Shuang when he knew the real cause of his mother's death. At that time, he tried hard to give up hatred, especially after learning that Bai Shuang was pregnant, he really wanted to give up.
But he would dream about his parents every night, his mother covered in blood, and his father covered in fire. They shouted that it hurt and asked him to save them, but he was powerless.
He later realized that if he did not avenge his parents, he would not be able to enjoy happiness with peace of mind, and he would not be able to give Bai Shuang wholehearted happiness, which would only cause greater harm to Bai Shuang.
So he chose to leave her, choose revenge, and choose this path now.
