Chapter 231 A Hard Shell
Chapter 231 A Hard Shell
Su Wanxi's delicate body trembled weakly, her hands and feet were completely cold, and she could no longer feel any warmth.
"After all, we are still colleagues", after all, this sentence was like a heavy boulder, which ruthlessly crushed the last sliver of faith in her heart.
At this moment, I just wanted to throw myself into this man's arms desperately, but I no longer had the courage.
"Maybe you're right..." After a long silence, Zhao Xiaotian took out a cigarette from his arms, lit it, and puffed on it, before he said calmly, "This marriage contract between us was originally a ridiculous joke."
"How can two people who have never met before, really accommodate for the rest of their lives because of a fragile marriage contract..."
"But you know very well, that's what I said out of anger..." In an instant, Su Wanxi couldn't hold it anymore, her voice was choked up and she murmured.
"I know..." However, Zhao Xiaotian still just shook his head, with a bit of bitterness on the corner of his mouth, and smiled, "To be honest, I'm not a saint either!"
"If you say that I don't care about what you said, it will appear that I am too hypocritical and petty after all! You and I are both arrogant people, and we each have our own pride in our bones..."
"But if you want to say how brooding I am, it's not that..."
The atmosphere in the office became silent again, heartbreakingly silent.
After a long time, Zhao Xiaotian shrank his head slowly, bent down and flicked the ashtray in the ashtray in front of him.
But unknowingly, the calmness on his face gradually dissipated, and a bit of inexplicable difficulty and pain appeared in his eyes.
The voice became a little hoarse, "Actually, a few years ago, I also had a girlfriend, and I also had a vigorous and unforgettable first love..."
"As for who the other party is, you already know it! I still remember that time, I was just a pure and simple ignorant boy, and she was just a slim and pure little girl!"
"So gentle, so quiet, like a fairy who is not stained with dust, but so smart and beautiful, so understanding..."
Close your eyes slowly, take a deep breath of cool air, your eye sockets are already a little moist, your voice becomes hoarse and difficult, "At that time it was really... In my eyes, she was the most perfect girl in the whole world, and I was so true I firmly believe that she is the woman who can accompany me for the rest of my life and stand behind me silently forever..."
"Even if people in the whole world misunderstand me, she is the only one who can understand me and support me. Even if one day in the future, in this world full of greed, dirty, miscellaneous, and flashy, I will be hit with blood and bruises all over my body. When I got home, she was also the woman who could gently lean on my shoulder, give me warmth and comfort..."
"And once upon a time, I firmly believed that she was the woman worthy of my life's protection and protection..."
"So at that time, I was really stupid and naive. I was willing to give her what I thought was the best thing in this world without reservation..."
"Even at that time, there were too many misunderstandings, too much ridicule, even if I was as useless as a dog, even if my head was smashed, I didn't want to see her suffer a little bit of grievance..."
But as he talked, this man who was once so bohemian, this man who was once so reckless and domineering that made countless dandies and young men in the capital frightened, there was only an unforgettable loneliness and loneliness in his eyes.
Just like a child who lost his way, his voice was choked to the extreme, and he kept shaking his head, "But... But in the end, the ruthless reality is still so cruel, destroying all the beliefs and persistence in my heart... "
"Finally one day, when I was at the lowest point in my life, when I was most helpless and hopeless, she suddenly chose to leave ruthlessly..."
"I still remember that day, my third uncle, who always treated me like my own son, who was so kind to me and who had a great impact on my growth, died bloody and tragic at the hands of a man who was as powerful as a devil! But, in front of that devil, I was so powerless, so weak that I couldn't even stand a single blow, and I didn't even have any capital to take revenge..."
"The only thing I can do is to kneel in front of the third uncle's coffin, crying heartbreakingly..."
"But... but when I was kneeling there in such misery, without a drop of water for three days and three nights, and without closing my eyes for three days and three nights, that girl, that girl who I thought would be able to accompany me for the rest of my life, finally... He still walked up to me in such a cold-blooded and merciless manner, and said the word 'break up' expressionlessly..."
Su Wanxi lay powerlessly on the sofa, her tears rolled down like a flood that burst a bank, and she was already sobbing choked up.
"At that moment, really..." Zhao Xiaotian lit another cigarette and puffed on it. At this moment, it seemed that he only wanted to let the stimulation and pain caused by the impact of nicotine on his lungs to make himself numb. "I really don't dare to recall what kind of heartbreak it was for me at that moment, what kind of grief was greater than heart death, it was a kind of collapse of all beliefs and attachments in my heart..."
"I'm not the kind of man who is so strong that I can't be attacked by all poisons! On the contrary, I also have a weak heart, and I also have my own weakness. In the next period of time, I don't know how I survived of……"
After a short pause, he continued to murmur hoarsely, "Perhaps during that time, I was really not as good as a dog..."
"I was bitten bloody and bruised all over my body... Over the years, I have been like a snail, firmly imprisoning myself in a hard shell. Maybe only in this way can I feel warmer..."
"I'm scared, I'm really scared! For so many years, I'm afraid of being bitten again, and I'm afraid of experiencing that kind of unforgettable pain again! Just hide in the hard shell I made for myself, even if Feeling a little dangerous, I quickly retracted..."
"Over the years, I have met many perfect girls, and I have failed too many people, even a woman who I should never have failed, but I, I have no more , even with the courage to bruise your head..."
"Actually, to be honest, I never asked why that girl left so unfeelingly back then, and what was the reason behind it, and I never tried to listen to her explain to me!"
"But it doesn't mean I don't know, at least I guessed it the moment she turned around and left. I don't blame her, in fact, I can understand her, but for her, she has no choice at all..."
