Compared with the lively people in Lantingju, Shen Zizhuo's family is very deserted. Without Ye Linglong and Xiaohua these days, Shen Zizhuo is alone at home every day. It seems that he can't even eat well. Today he put
Xiaohua took it back, but at night, she still had no appetite.
Shen Zizhuo never knew that it would be so unpleasant to have someone missing from his family. He would feel uncomfortable eating and drinking water. When he raised his head and lost sight of that person, it seemed like there was an empty space in his heart.
Today when he was staying at Lantingju, An Zhisu told him everything about Ye Linglong's "deception". He should have been angry, but he couldn't get angry for some reason. Instead, he felt a little happy.
.
Ye Linglong is naturally not the first girl to like him and chase him. Girls have always stuffed him with delicious food since he was in elementary school. In junior high school, he never stopped writing love letters. A brave girl blocked the road and confessed her love to him in person.
There are also.
It was only after he joined the army that he became clean, but it didn't last for a few years. Later, there was no shortage of women around him. Some of them liked other people, and more of them liked his money. But to him, those women were nothing more than girls.
Yan is dispensable, and he never misses anyone.
But now, he has a nostalgia for Ye Linglong. He will miss her, miss her smile, miss her chirping next to him, miss her bullying Xiaohua, and the excitement of chasing each other around the house with one person and one cat.
That day she asked him whether he was responsible for her because they had a relationship in an inexplicable way or because he liked her. He didn't answer for a while. It happened so suddenly that he didn't think about it carefully, so she hid.
Now he has figured it out a bit, but she has returned to the United States.
The phone was at hand, and several times he wanted to pick it up and send her a WeChat message to say something. But after picking it up several times, he put it down again, and in the end, no WeChat message was sent.
Whether it is because he is not used to missing someone or whether he likes it, even he himself is not sure yet. Since he is not sure, why bother to say anything in a hurry.
Just wait, maybe when she comes back, he can really find the answer.
A week has passed, and half a month has passed. Shen Zizhuo has not contacted Ye Linglong, and Ye Linglong has not contacted Shen Zizhuo. Shen Zizhuo's life seems to be back to what it was before, including eating, reading, running, and attending classes. Even his assistant has returned to his previous job.
That one, Ye Linglong seemed to have become a passer-by, a passer-by who would never come back.
Shen Zizhuo came home from school that day. When he got out of the elevator, he habitually glanced at the opposite door first. The door that was usually closed tightly was half open today. It was obvious that someone was at home.
Shen Zizhuo's heart tightened and his steps froze in place. He wanted to go over and see if Ye Linglong was back, but he didn't know what to say first when he saw her.
He stood at the entrance of the elevator doing some mental preparation. After a while, he saw someone coming out of the room. It was indeed a very familiar person, but it was not Ye Linglong.
"You're back. No one answered the knock on your door, so I knew you were going to class." An Zhisu saw Shen Zizhuo as soon as he came out, and thought it was quite a coincidence.
Shen Zizhuo covered up the flash of disappointment in his eyes and asked, "Do you want to see me for anything?"
"I didn't come to you specially. Linglong asked me to help her pack up the jewelry at home." An Zhisu patted the jewelry box in his hand.
Shen Zizhuo was silent for a moment before speaking.
An Zhisu closed the door, took off the teddy bear hanging on the door, walked over and said, "Let's sit at your house. I have something to tell you."
"good."
Shen Zizhuo led An Zhisu back home.
Xiaohua jumped up and asked for a hug as usual, and Shen Zizhuo carried her to the living room.
An Zhisu also followed into the living room, sat down on the sofa, and placed the jewelry box and dolls on the table.
Xiaohua's cat's nose twitched, as if she smelled a familiar scent. She got out of Shen Zizhuo's arms and jumped onto the table, swirling around the jewelry box and dolls.
Neither Shen Zizhuo nor An Zhisu cared about it, and they didn't even stop it from taking away the doll An Zhisu.
"Would you like something to drink?" Shen Zizhuo asked.
"No more drinking. Xinxin is still at home. I'll say a few words and leave." An Zhisu said, taking something out of his handbag and handing it to Shen Zizhuo.
Shen Zizhuo took it and opened it with her eyes. It was a wedding invitation. The names of the groom and the bride were on the invitation. Both were English names. Shen Zizhuo didn't recognize either of them.
An Zhisu explained to him: "This is the invitation sent to me by Linglong, inviting me to attend her wedding. She is getting married in three days."
Ye Linglong is getting married!
This news made Shen Zizhuo feel like he was struck by lightning, and the hand holding the invitation trembled.
"Her fiancé was chosen by her father. Her father deliberately tricked her into going back last time, with the purpose of tricking her into going back to get married. She originally resisted and even fought with her family. But you haven't been with her for half a month.
After she contacted her, she gave up and agreed to the marriage." An Zhisu added.
"I..." Shen Zizhuo opened his mouth, originally wanting to explain something, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.
"Zizhuo, you are so old and know more principles than me. I don't want to advise you any more. If you have her in your heart, this is your last chance." An Zhisu said this.
He got up and left without trying to persuade him too much.
If he can't even make him think clearly about the wedding invitation, then no matter how much others say, it will be unintentional.
An Zhisu took the jewelry box away, but did not take away the doll that Xiaohua had taken away as a toy.
When Xiaohua saw her master sitting there in despair and motionless, she seemed to be in a bad mood. She very generously took her new toy into his master's hand.
Shen Zizhuo mechanically took the doll that Xiaohua held in his mouth. This was the doll that Ye Linglong hung on the door. He could see it every day. Once, the hook that attached the doll fell off, so he re-dipped it with glue and reattached the doll.
Hanging up.
He couldn't see what was good about this doll, but because it was something she left behind, even Xiaohua liked it very much.
"Meow..." Xiaohua felt the owner's low mood, stretched out her little tongue and licked the back of the owner's hand, trying to comfort her owner.
Shen Zizhuo raised his hand and rubbed its head, as if he was asking it, but also seemed to be asking himself.
Should he seize the last chance?
One or two days may not be enough time for him to figure out whether he is used to Ye Linglong or likes her, but half a month has passed. No matter how dull he is about feelings, it is enough for him to figure it out clearly.
Shen Zizhuo clenched the doll in his hand, as if he had made some kind of determination in his heart, and a long-lost light and vitality flashed through Shentan's eyes.
