The suffocating depression was everywhere in the quiet room. Lin Qi looked at the thin divorce agreement on the table with his hands clenched. His eyes had turned red with anger and sadness, and his tall body was trembling. Behind him, Chen Xiaonian was sitting on the bed.
He was playing with his phone nonchalantly, as if everything the man in front of him was doing had nothing to do with him.
"Hurry up and sign, I have something else to do!"
Turning around and looking at the person at the top of his heart, Lin Qi felt that his heart was being pulled and torn. He walked to the bed and squatted down, took Chen Xiaonian's hand and said with a faint pleading in his voice: "Niannian,
How about we not get divorced?"
After a long time, Chen Xiaonian finally threw the phone aside and looked at the humble man in front of her with a smile. She lifted his chin with her slender fingers and leaned over to say one word: "I told you I don't love you anymore, you look like this
You really know how humble you are?"
Seeing the sad pleading in the man's eyes gradually turning into despair, Chen Xiaonian felt indescribably comfortable. Her fingertips pointed all the way down his forehead, the straight bridge of his nose, the lips that were trembling with excitement, and the clear lines.
Lin Qi felt a sense of suffocation sweeping over his lower jaw as he watched his Adam's apple that couldn't help but slide gently.
"Nian Nian, everything was fine yesterday, why did you suddenly change?"
Chen Xiaonian stood up, walked to the dressing table, fiddled with the items in the jewelry box, looked at herself in the mirror and said casually: "No one can guarantee that feelings will never go bad, nor can they be sure when they will go bad.
It has changed, let alone me who has never had feelings for you!"
Lin Qi looked at Chen Xiaonian in disbelief. She said that she had never had feelings for him, which he could not accept no matter what. There seemed to be something expanding in his mind. What was it? Why couldn't he remember it?
Lin Qi held his head with a painful expression, cold sweat kept breaking out and then dripped down and disappeared on the white plush carpet. Chen Xiaonian sat down and leaned on the dressing table to try on the jewelry he gave to her after the wedding. Each one of them was
They are of great value, and some are even rare to find.
Just like the necklace on my neck, such a large pink diamond is already rare, and its purity without any impurities determines its unattainable value. I still remember seeing it at an auction abroad.
I fell in love with this pink diamond at first sight, and Lin Qi bought it without blinking an eye.
Chen Xiaonian threw the necklace back into the jewelry box, picked up the divorce agreement and walked over to Lin Qi, who had fallen on the ground, urging him to sign quickly. There was undisguised disgust on her face. At this moment, Lin Qi's mind
It was like the memories that had been isolated by a layer of frosted glass suddenly burst out. Yes, those things he couldn't remember were the happy times the two of them had together in the past.
The pain made Lin Qi look very weak. He stood up from the ground unsteadily, with red eyes and hands firmly holding Chen Xiaonian's shoulders, trying to see something from her expression. However, he was disappointed, no matter it was
His facial expression was still the same bright eyes that made him sink. He only saw indifference and impatience.
"Can you tell me why?"
Lin Qi let go of his hand and took a step back. It was as if all his strength had been taken away from Lin Qi and he fell onto the bed, tears welling up in his eyes. He slowly turned his head and looked above the head of the bed, unable to see the person in the photo clearly due to the blurred vision.
. He asked himself that he had always been devoted to Niannian, loving her with all his strength, and would not hesitate to die as long as she was happy. He thought that she would love him as much as he loved her, and the two of them joined hands
Go through the long years until you grow old.
"Because I'm in love with someone else."
Falling in love with someone else, these words deeply hurt Lin Qi's scarred heart. He didn't believe that Chen Xiaonian, who had been calling Lin Qi brother behind him since childhood, would change overnight. This
The thought seemed to give him a shot in the arm.
"Nian Nian, tell me, do you have any last resort? As long as you tell me, I will believe it."
Lin Qi couldn't wait to explain, which made Chen Xiaonian sneer and look at him with pity: "What a pitiful guy."
"Nian Nian, it doesn't matter what reason you have, but...just...can you please don't say the reason why you don't love me."
Chen Xiaonian broke free from the restraints with a look of disdain: "I'm not the kind of person who can lie. If you don't love, you don't love. Your self-proclaimed affectionate behavior will only make me hate you even more."
As he spoke, he walked over and pushed Lin Qi down, pinched his chin with his fingers and looked at him condescendingly: "I really want to know how the usually aloof CEO Lin is now in such a miserable state and how will outsiders react if they find out.
"
Chen Xiaonian was about to say something else but her phone rang. When she saw the name flashing on it, she immediately changed her face.
"Hello? My dear, don't be anxious. I'm talking about divorce now! But it might be a bit tricky. He's stalking me like a mangy dog. How about I just go ahead and sue."
Chen Xiaonian's unscrupulous attitude and sharp words were like a sharp knife piercing Lin Qi's heart. Her voice full of tenderness was like a strong hand locking his throat tightly, making it difficult to breathe.
.
When Chen Xiaonian hung up the phone, he turned around and saw Lin Qi looking at him with a tearful smile. He couldn't help but become nervous. There was so much helplessness, despair, and crazy determination in that smile.
"Nian Nian, I firmly believed that you loved me before, so I never thought that one day you would be so heartless, and I never thought about what my world would be like after you left."
Lin Qi stood up and approached Chen Xiaonian, looking at her eyes with a deep sea of despair and suffocating affection. He raised his hand and pressed her into his arms with Chen Xiaonian's irresistible strength. The gradually tightening of his arms made Chen Xiaonian feel
He would be strangled to death like this.
"Nian Nian, I can let you go, but if you can stay with me for one last day, this is my only request before the divorce."
A large amount of air poured into his lungs, and Chen Xiaonian felt like he was surviving a disaster. Looking at the sad man in front of him, he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after seeing the pleading in his red eyes, he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Can."
Lin Qi was as happy as a child when he heard that Chen Xiaonian had agreed. That look would make anyone feel sad. In the evening, he cooked some of Chen Xiaonian's favorite dishes and opened a bottle of red wine.
After drinking for three rounds, Lin Qi looked at Chen Xiaonian who was already in a dazed state, took her hand and rubbed it on his cheek. The green stubble made Chen Xiaonian involuntarily want to retract her hand.
"Nian Nian, do you know what I was thinking when I saw you for the first time? I wonder how there are people in this world who look like porcelain dolls? Can you take it home and hide it secretly? Do you remember
Did you fall asleep while playing in the park that time? Later, when I was quietly watching you sleeping by the bedside, I was thinking, I wonder who will benefit from such a cute little pig in the future."
"As you grew older, I became very angry every time I saw you playing with other boys. At that time, I comforted myself that I was just worried that you would be bullied. When I learned what feelings are, I became very angry.
I must make it clear that my feelings for you are not the feelings between brother and sister, but the feelings I want you to be seen and felt by me alone."
Chen Xiaonian, who was too drunk, was swaying as she listened to Lin Qi's murmurs, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell on the table. The man opposite couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw her lying down. Even the past of the two of them
Don't you want to hear it?
Lin Qi walked around the dining table and leaned over to pick her up, and gently put her on the bed. He sat aside and carefully observed Chen Xiaonian. It was impossible to let her go. She would only be his in this life and the next.
The next day, Lin Qi took Chen Xiaonian to the children's park where they first met. The area had become larger, and the amusement facilities inside had been changed. It could be said that everything that held memories of the two of them no longer existed.
Lin Qi felt desolate in his heart as he looked at the park that was "changed beyond recognition". His relationship with her was also "changed beyond recognition" just like here.
Looking at the children running back and forth, laughing and playing, Lin Qi felt that the excitement had nothing to do with him, while Chen Xiaonian looked around bored.
"How childish is it for such a grown man to come to a place like this?"
Chen Xiaonian's muttering made Lin Qi tremble. Looking back at her expression, he suddenly realized that she had forgotten where this place was. It was really sad. She was so careful to treasure all the memories between the two, and she
But discard it like worn out shoes.
Next, the two went to the place where they went to school together. Today was Friday, the day when students had a holiday. Standing at the door and looking at the young students, Lin Qi seemed to have seen the days when the two of them went in and out of school together.
The two of them went to many places that day, and Lin Qi was the only one who recalled the past. Chen Xiaonian's always calm attitude made him fall into deeper despair.
"It's been a tiring day. You take a rest and I'll cook."
Lin Qi put a fruit plate into Chen Xiaonian's hands and stood aside, staring at her profile.
"Aren't you going to cook? What are you doing here!"
It felt uncomfortable to be stared at all the time. After Chen Xiaonian swallowed the watermelon in his mouth, he frowned and said something, his tone full of disgust.
"By the way, don't forget to sign tonight."
The understatement made Lin Qi's tall body pause for a moment, and he let out a soft "hmm" sound in his nose. Seeing Chen Xiaonian eating very sweetly, Lin Qi was very pleased, at least she didn't dislike her cooking skills.
of.
The sound of the pen tip making a "sharsh" sound on the paper made Chen Xiaonian, who was standing behind Lin Qi, feel happy. He took over the signed divorce agreement and breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became much more relaxed.
"Isn't it good to let me go and let yourself go? Don't do those meaningless things again in the future."
Lin Qi did not speak, but looked at her with a smile. After a long time, he slowly said: "Nian Nian, you belong to me alone. I will not allow anyone to take you away from me."
Before Chen Xiaonian could recover from the joy, she was pushed down on the bed, and her slender, smooth neck was pinched tightly by a pair of big hands. She looked at the man with a stern look on her body in horror, his hands constantly
After slapping his body and finding that it was useless, he tried to pull the hands on his neck. However, all the struggles were in vain. Lin Qi watched the person on the top of his heart slowly struggle from the beginning to weak twitching.
He couldn't bear to die with his eyes closed until the end, and his heart was also extremely tormented. He didn't want to do this, but he had no choice, because he no longer knew how to keep her. This day was giving her a chance to look back.
It is also giving yourself a chance to redeem yourself.
Lin Qi sat with Chen Xiaonian in his arms all night, truly feeling her body gradually becoming cold and hard. Just as the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the room, there was a rapid knock on the door.
