Duan Zhuo twisted the cigarette butt and lowered his eyelids. On the 89th time, he called Zhimian.

I thought I was still hearing the shutdown state, but the phone suddenly beeped, indicating that the other party had ringed.

Duan Zhuo's pupils trembled, and after a few seconds, the phone vibrated slightly—

The other end is connected.

The red light shone a light in Duan Zhuo's eyes, which were as dark as Tan.

After a moment of silence, Duan Zhuo held his phone, exerted his knuckles, and his voice was almost hoarse: "Are you finally willing to answer my phone?"

Only the sound of rain can be heard on the other end.

All kinds of emotions rolled in my heart, and the man suppressed him and asked, "Where are you now?"

A few seconds later, the girl's voice finally came from the phone: "I'm outside the riverside."-

The river breeze is desolate, and the wind is accompanied by the rain, and the coldness penetrates into the heart.

Zhimian stayed in the pavilion for a long time.

Fifteen minutes later, she saw a familiar figure appearing from the rain in front of her and stepping down a long stone staircase.

Duan Zhuo held the umbrella and walked closer and closer to her.

The man walked into the pavilion, his scorching eyes were as if imprinted on her, and his Adam's apple rolled heavily, then he threw away the umbrella and stepped forward to pull her up and into his arms.

The warmth and tobacco smell came to my face in an instant.

Zhimian felt the man's chest that was violently undulating because of his anger, and the voice that fell on his head was out of control for the first time: "Why don't you answer my phone? Is it fun to lose contact? Do you know how long I have been looking for you? What should I do if something happens?!"

He hugged her tightly, Zhimian didn't speak or resist, like a cold stone.

Gradually, Duan Zhuo's emotions slowed down and he noticed her weirdness.

Duan Zhuo let go of his hand slightly and saw that she seemed to be suppressing her emotions. Her red lips were pursed and she remained silent. He thought she would cry, make a fuss, or get angry with him, but he didn't expect her to be in this state.

He raised his hand and gently grabbed the back of her head, lowered his eyes, and coaxed her in a low voice: "What the hell is wrong?"

She didn't respond, and he called her out: "Jiu'er--"

A few seconds later, Zhimian looked up at him, and Duan Zhuo saw that there was a bright light shining in her eyes as if it was broken.

In a daze, he saw her speak, his voice trembling:

"Do you know the president of HuoChuangBaiwei?"

"What?"

Duan Zhuo didn't understand why she asked this question for a moment.

"You know Ceao, who is the one who knows about our relationship with the other party and asks him to take good care of me, right?"

Duan Zhuo was stunned for a few seconds, and admitted without thinking much: "I know, what's wrong? My uncle and Ceafood, who was Huo Chuang Baiwei, were originally good friends in the business world, so I just greeted him, for fear that you would be bullied when you are just starting out and entering someone else's company."

He was a little surprised: "Are you unhappy because of this?"

Hearing his unconcerned answer, Zhimian's eyelashes trembled and his heart completely sank to the bottom.

It was indeed him.

She said with anger, "Duan Zhuo, why should you interfere in my work?"

A surprise flashed through his eyes.

"What does it mean to interfere? If you like this, what's wrong with me?"

"I don't need it!" She suddenly raised the volume, "I said it was my own business. Why did you treat me the same as before? Do you still don't know that we have broken up?!"

From the breakup to now, he has been entangled in her life in all kinds of ways, as if he is still her boyfriend.

But they have obviously not had such a relationship, so what right does he have to do with this?

When the man heard this, his eyes gradually subsided, "Zhimian, I am not doing this for you? I will pave the way ahead for you so that you don't have to worry about the future, take the shortcut path, and let you realize your dreams as quickly as possible. Is this also wrong?"

He sneered, "Did I do anything wrong in your heart?"

Zhimian looked at him for a while, a tear rolled down his eyes.

"Duan Zhuo, have you ever respected me?"

A cold wind swept over her face, blew on her face, and a coldness rose.

The man was stunned when he saw her crying.

Zhimian said: "I work to prove my strength, but in your eyes, my dream is just a play game that can be arranged casually. In your heart, I don't need to work hard, because all my value is given to you. You helped me, do you think you feel fulfilled?"

Duan Zhuo's expression moved slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled, explaining to himself: "I just want you to feel happy. I'm using various methods to save you."

She shook her head, "You are not trying to save me at all, you are just looking for a lost pet."

She pointed out all the thoughts in his heart, "You think I was making a tantrum when I asked me to break up. If you give me some benefits and say something nice, I just want me to come back to you. Have you asked me what I want? Do you know what the reason for breaking up?"

Duan Zhuo wanted to answer, but found that he could not find the answer at all.

"I know that career is the first in your heart. I understand you and never ask you to spend more time with me. You think I am sensible, so can I whine at what I call and wield my pigeons at any time? Do you think I won't be sad or angry?"

She recalled the depression she had over the years, and her nose was sore: "Every time I was unhappy, you just told me not to be a little bitch. Even if I coaxed a few words, have you ever experienced my mood? Even after breaking up, you are still so self-righteous and arrogant. You don't take me seriously at all."

The man moved his lips, "Why don't I take you seriously?"

"Four years ago, you became a professional athlete. In February of the first year, you participated in ggta and won the killing king. In December, you participated in the National EA individual competition and you won the championship for the first time..."

Zhimian counted everything about his career past, and he was even about to forget it.

"And I remember everything about you, my hobbies, your habits, and everything about you."

She choked up, "But do you remember anything about me? You only have yourself in your eyes, you never ask about my life, even if you have a few words of concern..."

Duan Zhuo wanted to refute for a moment, but didn't know what to say. He walked forward and tried to hug her again, but she retreated to the stone pillar in a corner of the pavilion and reacted violently: "Don't get close to me!"

Zhimian's body trembled, his almond eyes were blurred with tears, full of alienation and hostility, which immediately hurt his eyes.

"Duan Zhuo, have you ever thought about it? I am helpless and homeless. It was you who took me in. For me, you are all mine in the past seven years..."

Tears blurred Zhimian's eyes, "But in your heart, what am I? Do you really care about me?"

Duan Zhuo's eyes were stunned, "If I don't care about you, would I stand here?"

"But your concern seems to me no different from treating pets."

If this kind of care can be called liking, then what is love?

Duan Zhuo: "I have never thought of you so."

She sneered, "You evaluate me in front of outsiders, isn't it just that I'm like a fun cat? Others also look down on me and think that I'm just a canary you raise and a warm bed that you use to pass the time. When you get tired of it, you will get rid of me..."

Duan Zhuo recalled something, his eyes gradually deepened, "That sentence is just a joke."

Duan Zhuo had never heard of these words from girls.

He didn't expect that what she cared about was this.

"I admit that I've been too busy with work recently and I have ignored you. I will pay attention to what you said in the future. I promise that when you come back to me, others dare not talk about you like this again."

Duan Zhuo walked forward again, his eyes were red and red, trying to hold her hand:

"Jiu'er, don't be angry, go home with me."

"Home……"

Hearing this word, a line of hot tears rolled down the corners of her eyes again.

The bitterness overflowed again.

She turned to look at the dark rainy night outside, with no light in her eyes, and murmured to herself: "Where do I have home? I have no home for a long time."

After she lost her parents, she also wanted to have a home.

She originally thought that when she met him, he gave her a home.

But in the end, she was still alone.

"Duan Zhuo, do you know how important it is to me? I feel like a person who is about to drown, trying hard to survive. You are the only life-saving straw I can catch, but I feel that I can catch it in a while and disappear in my hands again."

When Duan Zhuo heard this, his heart seemed to be covered with blood.

She suddenly pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled pale, "But now I would rather lose you completely than feel this way."

She wanted to let go, but now she just wants to live on her own.

Duan Zhuo was stunned.

A few seconds later, Zhimian withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face, looked at him again, and spoke:

"Duan Zhuo, please let me go."

From now on, she and him will go their separate ways and will not disturb each other.

After Zhimian finished speaking, he bent down, picked up the bag from the chair, walked down the pavilion, and finally disappeared into the rain.

Duan Zhuo stood there, lowered his head, his jawline tightened, and a scarlet red appeared in the warm eyes.
