He Yuanchong never expected that he would just sit back and watch, and he was just about to step in when He Tianran suddenly stopped him.
This time, the dark scene under the lights was arranged very well. No matter the seats, distance, or the field of vision of both parties, they were all just right. And from the beginning to the end, He Tianran was either chatting with Sun Qianzhi, or with the two people around him. A girl joked that nothing was strange the whole time. How did he find out?
Before He Yuanchong could think through this problem, He Tianran hugged the frightened Sun Qianzhi beside him and said with a drunken grin:
"Lao Sun told me just now that when he looked up, he saw Yuan Chong that you seemed to be here too. I still didn't believe it. When I got to the door, I knocked on the door and heard you yell, hey, I was sure that the people in this box were still here. It’s really you.”
When Sun Qianzhi heard this unfounded nonsense, his scalp exploded. At this time, He Yuanchong looked at him with a gloomy and terrifying look, which scared him so much that he waved his hands repeatedly and defended:
"No, no, Brother Tianran, you just said that a friend had arrived, so I followed you. I really didn't know Yuan Chong was here..."
He Tianran was very dissatisfied with his words, with an expression on his face as if I was trying to help you build a relationship, why are you still not the right person? He angrily corrected him: "What do you mean by just following up? If you knew that Yuan Chong was here, Why don't you come and meet me? Are you friends?"
Well, now Sun Qianzhi is ready to die.
"Of course we are friends. If I knew Yuan Chong was here early in the morning, I, I, I, I would definitely come up and say hello..."
"alright!"
He Yuanchong really couldn't bear to listen anymore, so he immediately interrupted the other party's hesitant words.
If the two of them found him, no matter what he thought, it would definitely not be what He Tianran said, but He Yuanchong was indeed disgusted.
Friends, we met, what's wrong with saying hello?
This is really an enduring social rhetoric. When he invited Guo Huai out, he used similar rhetoric.
I saw He Tianran walking forward drunkenly, and put down the plate of dishes called "Oolong Tuzhu" in his hand with a "snap". The three girls downstairs also followed him at this time. They were disturbed by He Tianran's behavior just now. His face turned pale with fright. Now he stood at the door and looked in. When he saw this formation, he cleverly left quietly.
He Yuanchong's eyes followed He Tianran's movement and landed next to Guo Huai, who kept his head down. After He Tianran sat down, he patted the other person's back hard and said loudly:
"Hey Lao Guo, are you here too? What's going on today? Let's get together. What were you two talking about before?"
Guo Huai's body trembled when he slapped him, and he could only hear his face struggling for a while and murmuring:
"Tian...natural...you..."
"Me what?"
"Brother, we were just talking..."
"Don't talk, I want to listen to him."
He Tianran asked, he could roughly guess He Yuanchong's purpose of looking for Guo Huai, which was nothing more than to win over.
He didn't know what He Yuanchong and Guo Huai were talking about, but from a logical point of view, whether Guo Huai was on He Yuanchong's side or on his side, He Tianran didn't care much. After all, Guo Huai We still don’t know the full picture of this cyber violence incident. Even if we are temporarily deceived, even if we are taken advantage of, it is all excusable...
Although Guo Huai does not have the courage to confront He Tianran at this moment, if he can still stubbornly ask something about Cao Aiqing and worry about the girl's situation at this time, then He Tianran will really look down on Guo Huai of.
Because this is the only thing that He Tianran cares about about Guo Huai, and it is the reason for the above.
Now He Tianran just wants to know whether Guo Huai will worry about Cao Aiqing's harm at this moment...
As long as this original intention remains unchanged, He Tianran can be forgiven even if Guo Huai jumps up and asks whether He Tianran has secretly tampered with Ai Qing, or even if he later sides with He Yuanchong against him for Ai Qing.
Because there is nothing wrong in itself to stand up to protect the girl you love.
Even if he was deceived, deceived, or Guo Huai misunderstood him for a moment, it didn't matter. After all, Ai Qing already knew everything and could explain these things clearly in the end.
So right now, Guo Huai's reaction and status are the most important.
Because this represents Guo Huai's character after the timeline is restarted.
Did the punch I punched him last time hit the mark?
While He Tianran was in a state of mind, so was Guo Huai.
The incident seemed to have happened again. At this moment, Guo Huai's situation seemed to be back to the small bush. He once again witnessed the girl he had a crush on being bullied...
In the past few years, you must have grown up, right?
You should have the courage to rush out and scold and stop these abusers, right?
Guo Huai couldn't help but look at He Tianran quietly.
But what should he do if the original perpetrator was replaced by this close friend in front of him?
Many keywords that appeared in the conversation just now flashed through Guo Huai's mind, such as "friend", "president", "million-dollar annual salary", "taking advantage of the opportunity", "self-directed and self-acted"...
Guo Huai couldn't tell whether what He Yuanchong said was true or false, but he was not stupid. Considering his relationship with He Tianran, if he pretended to be confused now and continued to remain friends with He Tianran, then let him It is more than enough to introduce yourself to a job.
The so-called position of President of the Student Union is not worth mentioning in the eyes of rich second-generation people of their level. Working in the Student Union in the past few years has taught Guo Huai one thing, that is, some people are born We are already at the end, and people like me need to run as hard as we can in order to barely have a qualified life...
The best way now is not to provoke both parties and pretend to be confused. Whether He Tianran is wrong or right, as long as he and Guo Huai stay indifferent, they can live in peace and maintain this relationship, and maybe they can return to each other in the future. Able to achieve a great future...
And the price is just to give up a love fantasy that I have never had...
That's all.
From the corner of his eye, Guo Huai suddenly saw He Yuanchong opposite him calmly shaking his head.
That's right, even the guy who just told me the "truth" is not willing to put this matter out in the open, and he doesn't even dare to ask in front of the real owner. It can be seen that the way this matter is handled has no It was necessary to be so stiff, which affected the relationship between the brothers...
As an ordinary member of all living beings, Guo Huai is a mortal after all.
Between elusive love and a clear future, there is no need to choose at all...
However, the girl with the same name as "love" was still stubbornly spinning in his mind.
In fact, Guo Huai has some admiration for Cao Aiqing, and it can even be said that he has dirty thoughts. But which young man has not experienced this kind of emotion during his youthful admiration period?
And the reason why this emotion was not revealed was because there was something heavier weighing on his heart...
That thing is called reality.
Different lives created a huge gap called "reality" in his heart. Guo Huai knew that without some additional life encounters, he could only hide this feeling deep in his heart forever. Can't see the light.
Even he knew that he had no chance.
He Tianran's inducement last time really aroused his desire, so much so that now, his cheek is still aching...
However, are ordinary people like me destined to succumb to reality and give up on love?
Guo Huai's body trembled slightly, whether it was fear or anger.
During this period of silence, the three people in the room stared at him intently. The confidence they had accumulated in the student union had vanished under their burning gazes.
So Guo Huai still lowered his head, looking cowardly...
However, in his mouth, he asked an unprecedented question:
"Tiantian, you...have you done anything harmful to Ai Qing secretly?"
He Tianran, who looked drunk just now, suddenly had a few bright colors in his eyes.
Even more excited than him was He Yuanchong, who shouted loudly:
"Guo Huai, what are you talking about?! How could my brother do such a thing?! There must be something wrong with your brain!"
He Yuanchong was really furious. He had convinced Guo Huai, a fool. Everyone knew how could he ask and say such things at such a time? Isn't this self-inflicted, exposing all the contents of their previous chat?
However, what surprised him even more was He Tianran's answer.
He replied with a cynical and coercive tone: "Yes, I hurt her. Everything was planned by me. What can you do, Guo Huai?"
The movement in the box suddenly became audible...
He Yuanchong was stunned. He subconsciously brought these words into the trap he had made for He Tianran. He couldn't understand why He Tianran wanted to confirm this matter by himself in front of Guo Huai...
What kind of statement is this...
Does he really not care what others think?
Or is this a strategy that he uses to take advantage of his own tactics?
All kinds of messy speculations came one after another, leaving He Yuanchong at a loss as to how to deal with the current situation.
At the same time, Guo Huai's breathing gradually became rapid, and his hands on his knees were clenched tightly. His face was visibly flushed with anger due to the surge of anger.
For a long time, in the eyes of some people, he was an introverted and weak person who was honest and had no independent opinions and could only be manipulated by others...an ordinary person.
But can’t ordinary people have a temper?
Ordinary people can only sacrifice something of themselves, for the sake of future and life, to give way to dignitaries like the two brothers of the He family, and let their temporary likes and dislikes prevail?
Guo Huai's ears were buzzing, and his reason told him to calm down, but his human sensibility came out with one word very clearly -
No!
He no longer wants to hide behind anyone and wave the flag to cheer.
He also has something he wants to protect!
At this point, Guo Huai stood up angrily. In the flash of lightning, a black shadow danced in front of He Tianran's eyes. Then he felt his chest was hit hard by something blunt, and his whole body, including the chair, fell backwards to the ground. !
boom--!
There was a loud noise in the box. It was Guo Huai who kicked He Tianran beside him with boundless anger!
"Lao Guo, Lao Guo, what are you doing? You are crazy! Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Sun Qianzhi on the side hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Guo Huai who was still making follow-up moves. The latter pointed at his good friend and good buddy lying on the ground. He was furious and shouted with splitting eyes:
"He Tianran! If you have any conspiracy, come at me! Don't touch Ai Qing! Do you hear me?"
The common man's wrath will not hesitate to take off his hat and bare his clothes.
A huge footprint was left on He Tianran's chest. The man seemed to be lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state. In Guo Huai's rage, he couldn't help coughing a few times and was stunned for a few seconds before slowly crawling away. stand up……
"Young Master He, calm down, Young Master He... Yuan, Yuan Chong, come here and help me!"
Sun Qianzhi ignored Guo Huai's struggle and held him tightly. If the trouble continued, the consequences would be disastrous...
However, He Yuanchong hesitated to move because sitting opposite him, he could clearly see that He Tianran was grinning. It didn't look like he was in pain, but more like...
laugh.
What is he laughing at?
"Guo Huai, please go out first... you have nothing to do here."
He Tianran was hoarse, and there was no anger in his tone, but a kind of... relief.
This kind of relief not only confused the other two, but even Guo Huai, who was in anger, became a little confused.
He Tianran hunched over, he picked up the chair again and sat down. His back was completely slumped on the back of the chair. He raised his head, closed his eyes, and silently adjusted his breathing. He waited until the chest tightness and asthma subsided slightly, and then Reopen...
"Hey...he Tianran, you..." Guo Huai said dullly.
"Let's go..." He Tianran turned his head and looked at Guo Huai, while rubbing his chest, he said slowly: "Let's go, Old Guo, I have something to say to my brother, so I won't leave you alone."
Guo Huai saw He Tianran and smiled at himself.
This smile gradually calmed him down.
"Let's go, Guo Huai, let's go!"
Sun Qianzhi pushed Guo Huai, who was standing like a piece of wood in this land of right and wrong, out the door.
During this period, Guo Huai turned around and kept looking at He Tianran until the door of the box was closed again...
"..."
"It turns out that in such a world, I can change a person... I can make them live a better life... It turns out that I can..."
In the box where only the two brothers were left, He Tianran muttered something while He Yuanchong remained silent.
All of He Tianran's weird behavior today had left a deep impression on He Yuanchong, and the next second, he raised his head suddenly, like a normal person, facing the man who liked to imitate He Panshan in his behavior. Brother, smiled and said:
"Yuan Chong, come on, let's talk about our affairs."
…
…
Outside the door, Sun Qianzhi had already moved away from here in time. He didn't want to get burned.
However, Guo Huai did not go far. He still stayed in the corridor on the second floor with a heavy look on his face and did not go far.
He wanted to wait until the He brothers finished talking, and then ask He Tianran personally about the real inside story about the cyber violence that happened to Cao Aiqing...
However, instead of waiting for He Tianran, he unexpectedly waited for another person.
"Guo Huai."
A gentle female voice sounded from behind him.
And the moment this voice reached his ears, Guo Huai was stunned. He slowly turned his head and looked at the girl who had been at the top of his heart for several years...
"Guo Huai, just now you and Tianran..."
Cao Aiqing originally wanted to explain the current situation to Guo Huai. After all, she heard everything that happened in the box just now in the corridor.
However, why does Guo Huai need her to explain?
"No need to explain, Ai Qing."
Guo Huai shook his head.
The fact that Cao Aiqing can appear here has already explained a lot of things. Guo Huai felt very guilty. He Tianran suddenly appeared, and then he confessed his sins. If he had really followed the crowd just now, then he would have already I have no face to face the girl in front of me again...
"You... thank you, Guo Huai, thank you for standing up for me, thank you..."
Cao Aiqing said this softly.
The girl's shy and sincere expression was so innocent and beautiful that Guo Huai blurted out the words that had been buried in his heart for a long time:
"Ai Qing...I, I love you!"
Cao Aiqing was stunned for a moment, then a weak smile appeared on her face, and she nodded:
"I know."
"...We, will we still be friends?"
"Of course, as long as you don't say bad things about me behind my back like other bad guys!"
"No...no...no..."
The girl gave an affirmative answer, which made Guo Huai feel that saying this was not as difficult as he thought. He felt very happy, raised his head and exhaled, and turned around suddenly so that the girl could not see him. own expression.
"For me... for me... say sorry to Tianran for me..."
"Then you have to say it yourself. The three of us can get together some other time!"
"...Okay! Then you must remember to call me!"
"certainly!"
Guo Huai hesitated for a moment, and then replied firmly, and Cao Aiqing also happily agreed.
Without further words, the man stepped up and left.
Cao Aiqing watched Guo Huai's back go further and further away. This time, no one pushed him anymore. As he walked, his hand seemed to have wiped something on his cheek...
But this time, the man straightened his body and his spine was straight.
He liked someone openly and openly. This is not a shameful thing!
Lao Guo can do it...
