Suddenly, veins on Lu Shiqian's forehead jumped, and he felt dizzy. He closed his eyes and sorted through the memory of last night from beginning to end.
Yes, he remembered.
Song Yao did call, but Gu Nian... didn't come.
She refused directly on the phone.
Then……
Si Xue called him and he told her the address.
"You don't want to be with other men, okay?"
"Wherever there are other men, you are always the only one."
"Love me?"
"Love you."
So the person who said these words was not Gu Nian, not her...
At this moment, Lu Shiqian's eyes were dark, with a hint of panic that he had never noticed.
"Hmm?" Si Xue raised her eyelids, then lowered them again, looking extremely tired, "Who else could it be if it wasn't me? You just worked so hard... I'm really a little tired, let's sleep a little longer, okay?
good?"
Looking at him like this, he shouldn't be able to remember, otherwise how could he hear her say so much?
But...did he think it was Gu Nian?
A hint of gloom flashed in Si Xue's lowered eyes, and then disappeared.
Lu Shiqian's hand that was frozen in the air slowly tightened and finally took it back.
"Last night...you were with me the whole time?"
Did Gu Nian really never come?
"Yes." Si Xue nodded shyly and hid under the quilt, "I came over right after I called you, but you... didn't let me leave."
"……sorry."
Lu Shiqian pursed his thin lips into a straight line and frowned.
An uncontrollable headache hit him. He let out a silent breath, got up and got out of bed, picked up the bathrobe beside the bed and put it on haphazardly.
The next moment, Lu Shiqian's movements froze.
I didn't notice it just now, but there was a touch of red on the white sheet on the side he opened, which was particularly dazzling at the moment.
He looked at Si Xue on the bed, the guilt on his face was in stark contrast to the depth in his eyes.
He was now certain that he was drunk and admitted the wrong person.
But even so, he was the one who made the mistake, and Si Xue was the victim.
And Gu Nian...
She didn't even want to look at him.
"Shi Qian..." The love in Si Xue's eyes was not hidden at all, "This matter... I did it voluntarily, you don't need to take it to heart."
"Si Xue, there's something I need to tell you." Lu Shiqian looked at her with a layer of fog in his eyes, "I'm already married."
Hearing this, Si Xue expected it, but she reacted quickly. While pretending to be shocked, she clenched the sheets with her hands!
"What did you say?"
Lu Shiqian frowned slightly, "I'm married to Gu Nian."
"How is that possible! Didn't you...didn't you and her talk before..."
Si Xue was stunned, but the tears in her eyes couldn't stop flowing down.
"Lu Shiqian, are you lying to me? How could you...how could you marry Gu Nian! I have been in love with you for so many years, why didn't you tell me? Even if I love you again, I will never let myself become like this.
What a look! What is this, what have I become?!"
Si Xue's cries filled the entire space.
But Lu Shiqian didn't seem to listen to what she was saying.
He just stared at the corner of the room without focus, with a blank expression on his face, which was a subconscious reaction when a person faced a huge blow and shock.
Lu Shiqian didn't know why, but from the moment he opened his eyes and saw Si Xue lying next to him, his heart seemed empty.
It wasn't until two drops of hot tears fell on the back of his hand that Lu Shiqian was slightly shaken and slowly came back to his senses.
He subconsciously took out two tissues and handed them to Si Xue, opened his mouth again and again, and finally said: "...I will be responsible for you."
His voice couldn't be any lower, as if he was at the bottom of his emotions at this moment.
Even though Lu Shiqian is a staunch materialist, at this point, he can only wonder in a daze, is this really God's arrangement?
He and Si Xue were already done.
And Gu Nian... maybe he really should say goodbye to her.
Anyway, Gu Nian didn't care about this marriage at all, she just wanted to escape from him.
It's better to take this opportunity to correct all the mistakes and get their lives that had been unexpectedly intertwined back on track.
Just let her go.
Si Xue on the side wiped away tears, concealed the emotions on his face, and asked melancholy: "Responsible? How to be responsible? I never wanted to destroy other people's families..."
Lu Shiqian lowered his head and said in silence for a long time: "Between Gu Nian and I... we didn't get married because of feelings, and our marriage has no substance. According to the original plan, the marriage will end today."
"Really?"
Si Xue's eyes brightened, then dimmed quickly, "But are you sure Gu Nian won't feel uncomfortable? She is young and has no family, so she should regard you as her brother... Actually, even if you continue to take care of her, I
I won’t mind either.”
Lu Shiqian only shook his head slightly: "She can't."
Gu Nian never regarded him as any kind of brother.
The brother in her heart, the man she has been waiting for year after year, is Huo Huaijin.
Si Xue responded obediently, and then her face turned a little red as if she had just realized that she had been lying on the bed without any clothes.
Lu Shiqian only glanced at her briefly, then frowned and looked away...
