“What’s wrong?” A voice suddenly came. Qi Zheng quickly wiped away her tears and stood up.
She couldn’t let him know that if this kind of beauty could only be supported by lies, she would admit it.
She turned around and smiled. “The wind here is so strong that my eyes are red. It’s so annoying!”
She pouted and complained, as if she was really blinded by the wind. The back of her hand covered her eyes and kept rubbing them.
Lin Feng walked over and pulled her hand down. He frowned slightly and was dissatisfied with her actions. “You’re no longer a child. Why are you still wiping your eyes with your hands?”
Although he was blaming her, the worry in his eyes was obvious. It was so real that she believed it.
“Got it.” Qi Zheng held his arm and smiled brightly. “Let’s go. Don’t stay here too long, or you’ll be dazzled.”
Qi Zheng dragged him forward in a hurry, as if she was afraid and trying to escape.
“What’s wrong with you?” Lin Feng stopped and noticed that there was something wrong with her. “If you have anything to say, just say it. Don’t hold it in your heart.”
Lin Feng looked at her back, which stopped. She was thin and well-proportioned, but she just stood there like a controlled puppet, stiff and mechanical.
Walking in front of her, Lin Feng looked at her and found that she was already in tears.
Qi Zheng feebly squatted down and buried her face in her thigh, letting her tears wet the cloth.
She didn’t want to cry. Qi Zheng’s mind went blank, but she knew that she couldn’t cry.
When Lin Feng cried, he would find that she was abnormal, and he would know that she had known the existence of another woman.
“She must be the woman he really likes.” Qi Zheng couldn’t help but think.
Pain surged in her heart. She finally burst into tears, which were filled with grief and despair.
For a moment, Lin Feng was at a loss. When he saw her crying sadly, he actually felt uncomfortable. But, except for Ji Yan, he had never comforted other women. He could only stand aside and wait for her to finish crying slowly, and wait for her to calm down.
No one knew how long she cried, but her eyes were so dry that there were no tears. Qi Zheng stopped crying. For this love, she cried out all her tears.
She raised her head. Her beautiful eyes were filled with worry. Was it out of pity or sympathy?
No matter what it was, it was not what she wanted. What she needed was love, but he could give her anything except love.
She slowly got up, her feet numb, but Qi Zheng gritted her teeth and held back. She didn’t want to show any sign of weakness in front of him.
“I know. There’s a woman who looks like me.” All of a sudden, Qi Zheng sneered, as if she was asking him, “You’re wrong. I look like her, right?”
Lin Feng’s expression was cold, but his hands, which were hidden in his windbreaker, were clenched into fists, trembling slightly.
“How do you know?” Lin Feng spat out the words one by one. It was the first time for him to know that it was so difficult to say a word.
He was ready to give up Ji Yan and live a new life with her, but he still let her find out.
Lin Feng knew that he could not blame her. It was his fault and he was sorry for her.
Pointing to the lower part of the rocking chair, Qi Zheng’s voice was hoarse and her eyes were red. “I saw the photo.”
Lin Feng looked in the direction of her finger and vaguely saw a white corner of the photo. Only then did he remember that this should be the photo that he didn’t see last time.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Feng tried to relax his muscles, but it was in vain.
“Then what are you going to do?” Looking at her eyes, Lin Feng had no expression on his face, and his cold voice was full of unknown waves.
Would she give up on him just like that?
Thinking of this, Lin Feng felt a burst of panic in his heart. He could not accept it.
There was an eager look in his eyes, and he was waiting for her answer.
“Let’s break up.” It seemed that it was not very difficult to say it out. It was just that his heart was twitching because of the pain, and the numbness in the soles of his feet rushed to the top of his head along the meridians.
Break up…
Lin Feng nodded mechanically, but he couldn’t help asking, “Is there no other way?”
It was not until now that he realized that he was so reluctant to leave her. He was used to her life. He was used to some people being nice to him. He was used to it…
“No.” Qi Zheng lowered her head, and the tears that she thought were dry were in her eyes again. She said in a low voice, as if she was talking to herself, “Lin Feng, do you know? When I found the photos, I felt that the sky had collapsed, but I didn’t want to break up with you. I wanted to pretend that I didn’t know. Even if it was fake, I also wanted to be a substitute and stay with you to make you happy. But when I saw you, I found out that I was wrong.”
With her tears drawing an irregular circle on the floor, Qi Zheng continued to say, “I was wrong. There is nothing in love. The fake product is a fake product. I can’t give her happiness. You have been smiling all the time, but you know, your smile has never been seen in your eyes.”
“So, let’s break up.”
…
After a long time, Lin Feng felt dry in his throat and tried hard to squeeze out a word, “Okay.”
“That’s it. If you don’t cherish it, leave it. If you’re not happy, let it go.”
This love was sentenced to death.
Qi Zheng was the only one left in their new home.
Lin Feng insisted on giving her this house because her name was also on the property ownership certificate.
Qi Zheng leaned against the window, and there was heavy snow outside. She couldn’t help worrying that he hadn’t recovered from the cold yet. Was the weather getting worse? He still didn’t want to take medicine. He must be working with a notebook and hadn’t had a good meal for a few days…
Ah, what was she thinking? She scratched her hair irritably and rubbed it into a mess. Qi Zheng’s face was bitter and upset.
They had already been separated. What was she worried about? Even if she caught a cold…
Qi Zheng couldn’t help but put on a pair of brown snow boots and a black knee-length down jacket. He wanted to run outside in a hurry.
“Tock, tock, tock.”
Lin Feng heard the knock on the door. Lying on the sofa, he turned over with difficulty. He wanted to start, but his voice was so hoarse that he couldn’t make a sound. Not a single syllable came out, and there was a tearing pain in his throat.
Finally, he struggled to get up. The knocking on the door outside became more and more urgent, almost cracking the door.
Lin Feng frowned in pain. The sofa was only a few meters away from the door. He walked for more than a minute.
Lin Feng turned the handle and looked up. His hands were stiff there. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “You… are here?”
As if he did not believe in the scene in front of him, Lin Feng used a tone of inquiry, for fear that this was his temporary fantasy.
“Yeah.” Qi Zheng nodded and pursed her pink lips. “I’m going to a nearby mall to buy some vegetables. I’m here to visit you.”
Qi Zheng couldn’t help but despise herself. It was so fake to tell a lie. The place where she lived was separated by eight subway stations. She was crazy to come here to buy vegetables.
