Tong Jiangxin froze on the spot instantly. Seeing the deep nostalgia and sadness in McGarlo's eyes, she felt that it was becoming difficult to even breathe.
McGaro looked at Tong Jiangxin. He said nothing, but the look in his eyes said everything.
Tong Jiangxin's heart was not made of stone. Not to mention that she had been attracted to McGaro before. Even if it was between simple friends, she couldn't remain indifferent when she saw him feeling so uncomfortable.
The two looked at each other for dozens of seconds, and finally it was McGarlo who spoke up first, "Jiang Xin, are you really happy being with him?"
Tong Jiangxin narrowed her eyes slightly and felt her chest stagnate. Facing McGarlo, she once again lost the courage to answer directly.
Seeing that Tong Jiangxin didn't answer, McGaro said softly, "I like him so much that I would do anything for him. I'm really afraid that one day you will be sad."
Tong Jiangxin's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively felt that McGaro seemed to know something, so that's why she said this. However, at this moment, her brain was suffering from a lack of oxygen, so she couldn't be sure, let alone ask.
She remained silent, and McGaro finally smiled, and then said, "Okay, if you want us to return to our original relationship, then we will still be friends. What happened today is my fault, so just pretend it never happened."
"The next time we meet...I will never show my fondness to you again, nor will I ever embarrass you again."
After saying that, McGaro turned around and left from the direction of the security door in front of Tong Jiangxin.
When making a phone call, the person who hangs up last will definitely love the person who hangs up first. Between two people, the person who loves them more is always unwilling to leave the other person’s back.
Tong Jiangxin has always been used to retreating and turning away, but this time, McGaro took a step ahead of her and turned away.
It’s not that I don’t love, it’s just that I can’t love anymore, or in other words, I’ve given up.
At this moment, Tong Jiangxin's heart ached with boredom, as if she had been placed in a fresh-keeping bag that had been drained of air. It seemed to be intact, but in fact it had already lost its freshness.
The moment the safety door was closed, the tears that had been hidden in Tong Jiangxin's eyes suddenly fell out.
Holding her hand on the handrail of the stairs, Tong Jiangxin pursed her red lips and couldn't stop her tears from falling down.
This drinking party finally allowed him and McGaro to start over again. He said that when they meet again, he will no longer show an infatuated expression, and he will not embarrass her again, but... he will feel sad in his heart.
of.
She finally disappointed McGaro and made him feel uncomfortable.
Tong Jiangxin cried alone behind the security door for a long time, and then slowly walked down the stairs.
After she left, the security door was pushed open again. It was Mai Jiacheng who was wearing a black suit. He held his mobile phone to his ear and whispered, "She went downstairs..."
Tong Jiangxin did not go down from the elevator, but took the stairs. When she appeared in the Bona Hall, there were no tears on her face. She walked quickly outside the restaurant, wanting to hail a taxi back to Mid-Levels, but she didn't.
I thought of seeing that familiar Maybach on the roadside.
Lu Chengxi turned his head and saw Tong Jiangxin going out. He opened the door and got out of the car.
Tong Jiangxin looked at Lu Chengxi and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Lu Chengxi said, "Didn't I agree to pick you up?"
Tong Jiangxin said oh, then thought that it was still early before the end of the banquet. She raised her eyes and said, "Why are you here so early?"
Lu Chengxi replied, "I have nothing to do, I just wanted to come here and wait for you."
Tong Jiangxin saw Lu Chengxi's dark eyes, shining brightly under the neon lights, like two black gems.
She felt uncomfortable and sour in her heart, not sure if it was because she was moved or something else.
Lu Chengxi looked at Tong Jiangxin's face, specifically her lips, and frowned slightly. He stretched out his fingers to cover Tong Jiangxin's lips.
Tong Jiangxin subconsciously ducked back, and then she realized that her lip had been bitten by McGaro.
Hanging her head in embarrassment, Tong Jiangxin didn't know whether to cover it up with her hands or face it calmly.
But what surprised Tong Jiangxin was that Lu Chengxi didn't lose his temper, but said in a slightly lower voice, "Let's get in the car."
Tong Jiangxin felt uneasy, because based on her understanding of Lu Chengxi, he would not give up easily, at least not as calmly as he is now, without even asking.
While she was thinking about it, Lu Chengxi had already reached for the bag in her hand, then went to the passenger seat and opened the door for her.
Tong Jiangxin lowered her head all the way, using the long hair hanging next to her face to cover the embarrassment on her face.
After getting in the car, Lu Chengxi closed the door and returned to the driver's seat.
The car started slowly, and it was unusually quiet inside. Lu Chengxi said, "Why don't you give Zhang Guangcheng a call?"
Tong Jiangxin suddenly heard Lu Chengxi's voice, and she was startled. After realizing what he said, she whispered back, "Oh, I'll call him when I get back."
Lu Chengxi said nothing, and the car became quiet again.
Tong Jiangxin felt like she had been caught doing something wrong. She was always worried and her nerves were tense.
Seeing Lu Chengxi stop the car on the street and reach out to unbuckle his seat belt, she looked sideways, but didn't dare to ask.
Lu Chengxi opened the car door and got out, then stepped into the pharmacy opposite.
Tong Jiangxin kept looking at Lu Chengxi's back, with a look of fascination and guilt in her eyes.
After a while, Lu Chengxi came back with a small box, opened the door and got in the car again. Tong Jiangxin caught a glimpse of him opening the box and taking out a small transparent band-aid from the inside.
Without saying anything, Lu Chengxi turned to his side, reached out to lift Tong Jiangxin's long hair, and then carefully applied the band-aid to the affected area at the corner of her lips.
After pasting it, Lu Chengxi said expressionlessly, "Try not to get it wet. It will be fine in two days."
After that, he sat back and prepared to drive.
Tong Jiangxin couldn't bear it any longer, so she asked, "Why?"
Lu Chengxi said without squinting, "Why?"
Tong Jiang said happily, "Why don't you ask?"
Not losing his temper? That's not like his character.
Lu Chengxi had no expression on his face. After a long while, he replied, "You are by my side now, aren't you..."
Tong Jiangxin frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand.
Lu Chengxi continued, "As long as I see you, I feel at ease. Sometimes I don't know why. In the past, I always liked to lose my temper with you, and I would feel angry when I saw you do anything. But now, as long as you can
When I am around you, I feel very good.”
Tong Jiangxin's eyes showed obvious astonishment that Lu Chengxi... would actually say this to her.
