Chapter 40 He regrets it(1/2)
Not to mention Xie Yu, even Jiang Zhi was surprised when he first got this answer.
Jiang Zhi said a few casually and hung up the phone, leaving enough time for Xie Yu to calmly think about this matter alone.
The news came too suddenly, and the answer also subverted Xie Yu's perception.
Xie Yu remembers the last time he went to the Chu family, when Chu Jiao gave him an old doll that night and admitted that she liked him.
But that love is just a short time when it has too much weight in Xie Yu's heart.
Just as Chu Jiao said—
A person's life is so long that he likes many people.
In Xie Yu's eyes, this sentence makes sense because he also thinks so.
Xie Yu felt that Chu Jiao's love for him was at best a little bit of love. If the time was right, you could try it together. If there was no that time, you wouldn't regret it if you missed it.
After all, Xie Yu is self-aware. He has no advantages that Chu Jiao can admire, so naturally there is no need to be him.
Before this, Xie Yu had always thought so.
But Jiang Zhi told him today that this news was like a bolt from the blue, and to some extent, it overturned Xie Yu's consolation law that had been deceived for so long.
Chu Jiao has liked him, and Xie Yu knows about this.
But he seemed to have completely realized how much he liked it until now.
Every birthday gift that has never been closed for more than ten years is carefully selected. Among the gifts he receives on his birthday every year, they are almost all Xie Yu’s favorite, so he treasures it until now.
He also kept guessing who was the one who gave these gifts and why he had been persevering for so many years.
He suddenly felt extremely guilty.
If he had known that this person had done so many things earlier, before the wedding, even if his father's family law interrupted his legs, he would have stopped the wedding in another way, and would never have made her so helpless in public.
Xie Yu picked up his cell phone and unconsciously entered Chu Jiao's name. The video of the wedding scene was still on the Internet.
And this time, Xie Yu suddenly felt a little timid.
This version of the video seems to say that the guest recorded it, compared to the official media release version Xie Yu had seen before, there were more noises here. Even when Chu Jiao stood on the stage to explain, her voice was accompanied by the noisy and harsh discussions around her.
Xie Yu turned the volume to the maximum and listened several times before he could barely hear the comments clearly.
"Xie Yu is gone?"
"I would rather escape than marry Chu Jiao."
"I really didn't expect that if I were to say that, it would be embarrassing."
"Look at how Chu Jiao will be arrogant in the future. All the most famous socialites in the imperial capital are empty, just an abandoned woman who was fled from marriage."
"What is the first socialite? She is just the daughter of a nouveau riche. Xie Yu doesn't look down on her family."
Every word Xie Yu heard was so sarcastic, which made him feel extremely harsh.
Some of the voices are familiar, or perhaps it was said by some of his former friends.
Xie Yu's left hand hit the ground hard, and the broken glass slags cut his hand again. The wound in the day had just been treated briefly before, but it had not healed yet, but it seemed even more bloody.
Blood dripped on the floor, bright red and dazzling.
Xie Yu's hands hurt, but they are not as sad as one thousandth of the heart.
After so long, he felt so uncomfortable when he heard these things. So when Chu Jiao faced these alone at the wedding? How desperate and helpless should she be at that time?
Xie Yu suddenly understood why Quan Ye called him a bastard. His actions were indeed worthy of being despised and worthy of Chu Jiao's hatred.
Xie Yu raised his right hand and pressed it against his forehead, and the painful expression on his face was unconcealed.
This is a private space where he is the only one, and he does not need any emotional concealment or disguise.
When Xie Yu recalled his thoughts before escaping marriage, he felt even more childish and impulsive.
At that time, he ignored everything and would feel guilty as long as he escaped from marriage, so as to make up for the reasons of Chu family and Chu Jiao to deceive himself, and then he escaped from marriage for granted for granted.
If Xie’s 10% of the shares are calculated based on the interests level alone, Xie Yu is indeed not guilty, because this may be much more than what the two families can bring to the Chu family after the marriage, but he did not consider Chu Jiao’s relationship.
how so.
After thinking about it for so long, Xie Yu still felt very uncomfortable. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was a sinner.
In a person's room, he feels that the air is silent, which makes people more likely to continue to fall into random thoughts.
Xie Yu tried again and continued playing the game, but the moment he picked up the controller, he felt irritated and had no idea at all.
Xie Yu picked up the coat on the sofa and put it on casually, and walked out.
In fact, Xie Yu didn't know where he wanted to go now. In short, he couldn't continue to think about it alone. The feeling of discomfort in his heart seemed to tear him apart.
Walking on the road.
It was already dark outside, and the evening breeze was slightly cool, but it couldn't help but irritate Xie Yu's irritability.
His head was still blank, and his legs were numb and repeated the movement forward, walking aimlessly on the street.
Until he walked into a remote alley where he didn't know where it was, the old street lights could not fully illuminate the road, and Xie Yu was almost tripped by the gravel on the ground.
Then he woke up like a dream, looked up at the surrounding buildings, very old-fashioned residential areas.
Xie Yu wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly he found that this place looked familiar, as if he had been here before.
Of course, Xie Yu didn't think of the answer yet, so he continued walking along the light in front of him until he saw a porridge shop at the exit of the alley, and then he suddenly realized it.
This porridge shop was brought to him that night.
It was still a similar scene. The old man stood in front of the shop preparing food. The lights in the house were not too bright, but they seemed just right in such an environment.
The pot was still steaming out. It was obviously an ordinary porridge shop, but it looked particularly attractive.
When Xie Yu realized it, others were already standing at the door of the porridge shop.
The old man looked up at him and asked kindly, "Young man, what are you going to eat?"
Xie Yu woke up like a dream and shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what he wanted to eat, and he didn't even understand why he came here.
The old man smiled kindly, "This is the first time I'm here? Our chestnut cake is well made. Do you want to try it?"
This is not the first time I have come, Xie Yu silently refuted in his heart.
Of course there is no need to explain such words, and the old man's words also evoke Xie Yu's memory.
"Okay, a chestnut cake." After Xie Yu said that, he used his memory to order a portion of millet porridge and other old-fashioned pastries that Chu Jiao ordered last time.
Xie Yu pulled open the chair and sat in the seat he sat last time.
The difference is that this time there was no Chu Jiao opposite him, and he was alone.
Xie Yu leaned against the back of the chair with his hands wrapped around his chest, and at the same time began to reflect on why he was here.
It seemed that I didn't think with my brain at all, and I came here like a terrible thing.
It was a coincidence, but the distance here is too far from his apartment.
Xie Yu then took out his cell phone and looked at it, with a look of surprise in his eyes even heavier.
More than two hours had passed since he left home, and during this time, he walked to the porridge shop completely with his legs.
Crazy, really crazy.
When she got here, Xie Yu still couldn't figure it out.
He still felt that since Jiang Zhi received a call, something was wrong with him.
So he stood up and wanted to leave as if he was escaping.
At the same time, the old man brought up the porridge and chestnut cake, blocking Xie Yu's way, and asked, "Young man, you haven't eaten yet, where are you going?"
Xie Yu recovered and shook his head without saying anything.
The old man didn't ask anything else, so he went to the door to squat and wash dishes.
Xie Yu sat down again and looked at the chestnut cake and porridge in front of him. He felt that he was not full tonight.
Looking at the blood stains on his hand, he suddenly felt a little annoying, so he lowered his left hand to his side, held the chopsticks in his right hand and picked up a piece of chestnut cake and put it in his mouth.
The sweet and soft taste is no different from that in memory. It is still delicious when I put it in my mouth.
But Xie Yu chewed it, but he felt it was a little difficult to swallow, as if something was like a thorn in his throat, and maybe something was too upset.
He picked up the bowl of porridge and took two bites of the porridge, and then he successfully swallowed the chestnut cake.
Looking at the remaining half of the chestnut cake, Xie Yu suddenly felt that after swallowing the chestnut cake, only bitterness was left on his lips.
It is obviously such a sweet thing, but how could it be bitter? It must be his illusion.
It is obviously the same chestnut cake, but it doesn’t taste the difference, but it seems to have become completely different.
Xie Yu still remembers the last time he came here with Chu Jiao.
She sat in front of him, eating the food on the table in small mouthfuls. Her appearance was still cute in retrospect.
That was also the first time Xie Yu officially proposed to Chu Jiao that the two of them would join forces to get rid of the engagement together, but Chu Jiao did not agree.
Now Xie Yu has an answer. It turns out that Chu Jiao really wanted to marry him because she liked him.
