"That's probably it..."
Time, back home three hours later.
Of course, He Tianran did not tell Cao Aiqing about Wen Liang's bold statement.
But when the other party asked He Tianran what kind of person the girl he rejected was, this was the first thing the man thought of.
He Tianran didn't want to convey Wen Liang's strong emotions and attitude to Cao Aiqing, because it seemed a bit like telling the other party across the ocean, look, buddy, I am very popular. If you don't express your opinion, I will Maybe he ran away with someone else.
He felt that it was a bit disrespectful to say this, whether it was towards Cao Aiqing or Wen Liang.
After all, there is nothing wrong with loving someone, but if the loved one uses it as a means of showing off or coercing someone, regardless of whether they are male or female, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly very disgraceful.
He Tianran does not lack this confidence.
However, even though the man tactfully explained what happened today during the call, Cao Aiqing, as smart as he was, already had a rough image of the girl with a warm personality through He Tianran's description.
That night, Cao Aiqing didn't ask too much about Wen Liang. The matter ended with "rejection", and there was no need to delve into it either emotionally or rationally. The man and woman, who were far apart and were still lovers, decided to stop talking. It's their tacit understanding.
However, at the end of the call, Cao Aiqing couldn't help but ask one more question:
"Tianran, what do you think?"
"I……?"
He Tianran was sitting on the edge of the bed, with his back hunched and his head hanging down. He held the mobile phone to his ear in one hand and placed the other hand horizontally on his knee.
At this moment, the moonlight outside the window shone like frost and slanted into the window. Although the soft light dyed his hair white, it also illuminated his eyebrows.
He glanced sideways, only half of the butterfly pattern on the back of his hand had not been washed away...
Just a butterfly, why did it cause waves in my heart?
"Of course I... like you."
As if he wanted to strengthen his belief, He Tianran reiterated his thoughts again.
Cao Aiqing on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said softly:
"Of course, I like you too..."
It's just that I don't want this love to become a burden to you. We all have our own lives to live and dreams to pursue. I also look forward to the day when we can achieve righteousness, but before that, we are destined to have to work hard. Their respective choices are tested, whether it is waiting, suffering, loneliness, temptation or even pain.
I like the sentence you wrote, if wine becomes song, drink freely.
I think a good relationship should not be a constraint, but should be a kind of motivation and encouragement. Naturally, we have been together from high school to college, and now we are separated. You have done a good job, and I am very grateful to myself. I have never had any regrets in my life. If I did, it might be that I regretted not being able to break the window paper earlier and be with you.
But I’m also glad that we didn’t get together too early. Otherwise, I would have felt bad if I had made you wait for these few years, and I would have been even more sad...
Naturally... don't put too much moral or emotional pressure on yourself. You don't owe me anything. On the contrary, I want you to remember that even if you fall in love with someone else in the future, it's not your fault. It's reality. Time difference and distance separate us, not because of a certain person... Did you know? "
Cao Aiqing's voice went from being steady at the beginning to weakening at the end. I believe she felt equally sad and powerless about the current situation the two of them were facing...
This girl is always so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. This is also the thing that He Tianran can't do anything about her the most.
In fact, many people who have not had a close relationship with He Tianran, but who know his relationship status, will have more or less doubts, that is, how can a young and promising man like him, who is young and wealthy, wait with all his heart for a man who can't even return a relationship? What about girls who are not sure?
I'm afraid that he was hung up intentionally by others, or that he was PUAed or something.
He Tianran had heard a lot of rumors like this in the past two years, but he was not a fool. He would not wait for a ship at the airport.
He just knows better than anyone else that the person he is waiting for is worth it.
"I don't know... Be good, I'll wait for you to come back, don't talk about this... We are all fine, there will be no problem."
He Tianran rarely showed his childish and stubborn side and decisively ended the topic.
Compared to Wen Liang's enthusiasm, Cao Aiqing also has her own stubbornness. She doesn't confirm the relationship with herself, largely because she wants to have someone who can leave the other person's life gracefully when they can no longer hold it together. Chance……
After hanging up the phone, He Tianran regretted telling Cao Aiqing what happened today. He originally thought that confessing the matter would make the two of them stronger...
But now it seems that it was a bit self-defeating, and it hit a sore point in the relationship between him and Cao Aiqing.
He Tianran, who was lying back on the bed, rested his head on one hand and raised the other hand high, staring at the butterfly on the back of his hand...
In the past month when I met Wen Liang, the two of them always talked about many topics, and their personalities complemented each other very well. About movies, their respective favorite things, hobbies, and some interesting things that happened during the filming of the crew in the past. They were in the same industry, and they were very speculative when chatting, and the girl could always break the silence and arouse her desire to communicate and interact with her.
If we use an analogy, Wen Liang is more "dynamic" and coherent.
But Cao Aiqing is just the opposite of her.
This quiet and virtuous girl speaks softly and softly. She will occasionally be lively for a while, but will soon calm down. When you are with her, you will always talk endlessly, and she will laugh a little while listening. , curiously asked what then?
She is a good listener. Although she is not as active as Wen Liang, she always has endless things to say.
I remember when I was in high school, I always liked to see her secretly during class. Whenever the sun was warm, the girl would lie on the desk and bask in the sun like a cat.
Once, I wrote a good composition and was used as a model essay by the teacher to read aloud to the whole class. At that time, I was still very introverted. I stumbled through an essay and made the whole class laugh. But only Cao Aiqing, after class, After that, she specifically asked herself for advice, asking herself why she could always write some words with a unique perspective. However, when she started writing, she often encountered situations where she had nothing to say.
At that time, the person he liked took the initiative to talk to her. He Tianran was confused at that time, so he gave an example of her habit of leaning on the table in class.
Just like when you are lying on the table in a daze during class, you see a snail crawling forward alone in the sun by the window. At this time, you will see it crawling very slowly, but as it slows down, you will You feel that it is getting up quickly, and then you will see the dust in the sun, and hear the rustle of the maple trees on campus. When the snail finally crawls to a spot of light, its shell sparkles, your heart will jump for joy.
"Having found stillness in movement, and seeing dust in sunlight, how can we be left speechless?"
He Tianran said this at that time, and the girl felt that she had benefited a lot. Little did she know that the boy secretly glanced at her hundreds of times, and his heart was moved more times than the dense words.
Therefore, Cao Aiqing is such a "static" existence to He Tianran. These stillnesses are not continuous, but scattered in He Tianran's youth.
And He Tianran's love for Cao Aiqing lives in these moments of vivid "stillness". Once recalled, it shines like the snail's shell in the sun.
Therefore, He Tianran could certainly wait for Cao Aiqing for so long, even if he was far away across the ocean...
It’s just that when stillness meets movement, when tacit understanding meets involuntary love, when tenderness meets romantic passion...
When a troublemaking butterfly appears in the calm sea...
When the world casts its eyes on the butterfly and admires its courage and enthusiasm to fly across the vast sea...
He Tianran didn't want to ignore Hai's response.
"Whoosh..."
Late at night, no matter how long it took, He Tianran couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep quietly.
The phone in his hand lit up slightly.
Orange Sea: "Tranquility, if you fall in love with someone else in the future, you must remember to tell me, don't let me only hear about it from other people's mouths..."
But after a few seconds, the message was immediately withdrawn.
(PS: Thanks to the boss of "Lonely Nature" for your alliance, I am grateful.)
