"Oh my god! You scared me! " Tong Huan suddenly appeared behind Tong Xin, startling her. She covered her chest and calmed herself down, "So you're here. How come no one answered me?"
Looking at the gorgeously dressed Tong Xin, Tong Huan crossed her arms in front of her chest and said with a black face, "Where did you go last night? Why did you come back so late? "
Tong Xin raised her head and looked at the dignified Tong Huan. She held his hand and said coquettishly, "There was a classmate gathering last night. It was late after dinner, so I stayed there. Don't worry about me, Sis. I've grown up. "
Tong Huan was still worried, "How old are you? Don't go out and fool around in the future. You're so young …"
Tong Xin interrupted him impatiently, "Alright, I know!" At this time, she saw Tong Huan's cheeks were red. She reached out to touch it and exclaimed, "Sis, why is your face so hot? Do you have a fever?"
Tong Huan lowered his head in panic and said vaguely, "It's nothing." Then, he pulled Tong Xin to his room.
Tong Xin saw a man hiding in her sister's room. Then, she looked at their unnatural expressions and seemed to understand everything.
"Yiwei, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Tong Xin." Tong Huan introduced. Lu Yiwei stood up and smiled. He stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Hello, Tong Xin. I'm Lu Yiwei. I've heard about you from your sister. You're really beautiful!"
Tong Xin was indeed more beautiful than Tong Huan. She had an oval face, thin eyebrows, big eyes like Tong Huan, and her facial features were more exquisite. This was especially so for the 1.7-meter-tall girl. She was almost as tall as Lu Yiwei when she put on her high heels. Her eyes were clear and pure, and she was a natural beauty. When she smiled, she looked cute like a girl-next-door.
Tong Xin was stunned by Lu Yiwei's handsome appearance, especially his charming smile, which was simply captivating. When Tong Huan saw his sister's infatuated look, he gently touched her and whispered, "You didn't see her shaking hands with you."
Tong Xin immediately reached out and shook his hand. She blushed and hid behind Tong Huan timidly, whispering into his ear, "Sis, he's so handsome!"
Tong Xin's words made Tong Huan happy. He smiled proudly and said to Lu Yiwei, "My sister is really worrisome. After graduating from college, she wandered around in Beijing for a few years, but she achieved nothing. After setting up a studio, I couldn't handle everything alone, so I called her back. Look, you're still restless even though you're back. What are you doing wandering around aimlessly all day … "
"Sister!" Tong Xin hurriedly interrupted her sister's words. She didn't want her sister to criticize her in front of outsiders. She said, "I'm already an adult. Can you speak less?"
Looking at Tong Xin's bashful expression, Lu Yiwei persuaded, "Tong Huan, youngsters nowadays are seeking to be open-minded and have their own fashion. Don't control Tong Xin too much, and I believe that she knows what she's doing!"
"Look, look!" With someone backing her up, Tong Xin immediately straightened her back and said, "Even this handsome guy is supporting me. Don't talk too much in the future."
As an experienced person, Tong Huan was well aware of the complexity and dangers of today's society. Especially when he accidentally fell into the abyss, he didn't want his sister to follow his own path. He sighed and said, "Alright, you go home first. I'll go back later."
Tong Xin was instantly beaming with joy as if she had been liberated. She hugged Tong Huan and whispered, "Sis, is this my future brother-in-law?"
Tong Xin whispered, but Lu Yiwei heard it all. He didn't say anything and turned his head to the side, looking at the photo on the wall.
Looking at Lu Yiwei's expression, Tong Huan deliberately said, "You ask him!"
Tong Xin immediately walked up to him and blinked her big, watery eyes. "Handsome, should I call you brother-in-law from now on?"
"This …" Lu Yiwei felt awkward and didn't know what to do. He skipped Tong Xin and asked Tong Huan for help.
"Alright, you can go back now." Seeing that Lu Yiwei didn't answer, Tong Huan said in disappointment.
After Tong Xin left, Tong Huan suddenly hugged his body. Seeing this, Lu Yiwei handed his jacket to Tong Huan. The two of them walked side by side to the dance hall and sat down on a row of chairs.
After a long silence, Tong Huan said, "Yiwei, I only have one question for you. Have you ever liked me?"
Raising his head, Lu Yiwei looked at Tong Huan and nodded his head.
"Then, are you willing to marry me?" Tong Huan pursued and asked.
Dumbfounded by Tong Huan's bold confession, Lu Yiwei habitually took out a cigarette and said, "Tong Huan, if I knew you a few years ago, I would've promised you without any hesitation. But now, I can't. I want to make it clear that it's not because of anything else, but because I can't cross the hurdle in my heart. "
After going through all that, Tong Huan longed for a family. But in her eyes, there was only Lu Yiwei, and she couldn't accept anyone else. Lu Yiwei's answer was like a teacup falling on the ground. Although it didn't shatter, it made an ear-piercing sound that made her heart tremble. In fact, she knew that Lu Yiwei must be afraid of her being Ding Changhua's woman. It was human nature, and anyone would have the same thought.
Tong Huan sneered and said, "It's said that fate is in your own hands, is it really so? I've been led by others all my life. It's not easy for me to stand up straight and earn my own living, but I can't get what I want. Yiwei, I've told you before that you're the only man I've ever loved. You can choose not to marry me, but please don't leave me, okay? "
Lu Yiwei was decisive in his career, but he was soft-hearted when it came to love. He couldn't bear to hurt any woman. Facing Tong Huan's frank confession, he really couldn't bear to hurt her. But he didn't know why Tong Huan couldn't walk into his heart except for the physical party. Especially when Xia Jinhe left without saying goodbye, it made him tremble when he heard the word marriage. It wasn't that he didn't want to pursue a better life, but he was full of fear for the future. He was afraid of being fooled and abandoned again.
Lu Yiwei finished his cigarette and said, "Tong Huan, I know what you're thinking in your heart. I hope that you can find a good man. I'm a failure, especially in love. What does marriage mean? It means responsibility and responsibility. I admit that there are some things I can't do. It's better to love sincerely now than to hurt you deeper in the future. Rejecting you doesn't mean that I've made a clean break. I hope we can still be good friends. "
Tong Huan's tears instantly flowed down. He lowered his head and shook his head helplessly. He turned to Lu Yiwei and said, "Just good friends?"
Lu Yiwei was at a loss and didn't say anything.
Tong Huan suddenly stood up and said, "Lu Yiwei, the more you act like this, the more I like you. As long as you're not married, I'll never stop pursuing you. I want to show you my sincerity. I, Tong Huan, am sincere to you. As long as you don't mind my dirty body, I'm willing to do anything for you! "
Looking at the emotional Tong Huan, Lu Yiwei struggled in his heart and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Ignoring Lu Yiwei, Tong Huan got up and went back to his room to change into his dance costume. He turned on the music and walked to the center of the stage, saying, "Tonight, I'll dance for you alone."
Accompanied by the music, Tong Huan danced gracefully, which made Lu Yiwei feel intoxicated. The more Tong Huan acted like this, the more it made Lu Yiwei's heart ache. He sighed from the bottom of his heart, lamenting Tong Huan's fate and his own.
After the dance, Tong Huan suddenly lay in the center of the dance floor, which scared Lu Yiwei so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He thought that something bad had happened. Lu Yiwei hurried over and saw Tong Huan staring at the dazzling lights with his eyes wide open, tears flowing down his cheeks.
After a long time, Tong Huan said faintly, "You can go."
Lu Yiwei tried to help Tong Huan up, but he didn't expect that Tong Huan would push him away and say, "You can go. Let me be alone for a while."
Seeing Tong Huan like this, Lu Yiwei felt even more tormented in his heart. Love wasn't something that could be forced to be bought or sold. One couldn't betray one's soul and original intention because of sympathy and pity. Lu Yiwei was the type of person who warmed up slowly. He wasn't the kind of person who would fall in love with anyone he met. If he wanted to play with Tong Huan's feelings, he could totally agree to it, but he couldn't do it after that.
After thinking about it again and again, Lu Yiwei stood up, trembling, and walked to the door. After a few steps, he looked back at the indifferent Tong Huan. A trace of tenderness appeared in his weak eyes, and he pushed the door open and left.
After hearing that Lu Yiwei had left, Tong Huan slowly got up and looked at the door. Her heart was bleeding, and her tears were like mourning. How she wished that Lu Yiwei could come back and hug her tightly again. However, Lu Yiwei left so decisively and didn't look back …
Lu Yiwei walked out of the office building, looked up at the studio that was still lit, shook his head, and left in pain.
Maybe it was a mistake for him and Tong Huan from the beginning. They were originally people from two different worlds, but they came together forcibly. Carrying the pressure of morality and human relations, they did some crazy things.
He decided that he would never see Tong Huan again. Because every time they met, it would only aggravate their pain. Instead of that, it was better not to see each other. Being able to leave beautiful memories for each other would also be a kind of happiness when they recalled it years later.
Lu Yiwei walked a long way, and finally stopped in front of a hotel. He casually registered a room and slept until dawn.
The next morning, after contacting Li Haidong, he rushed back to Nanyang County before work. After returning to Nanyang County, Lu Yiwei didn't go to the Organization Department, but went straight to the Party School.
When he arrived at the Party School, there were already two or three civil servants who came to report. They were standing at the door and kept stomping their feet to keep warm. Lu Yiwei walked forward and asked with concern, "Are you here for the training today?"
"Yes." The girls answered in unison.
"Then why don't you go in?"
A girl stood up and said, "Director Xu asked us to wait here to welcome the leader."
"Nonsense!" Lu Yiwei said angrily, "Hurry up and go in. It's such a cold day, don't freeze!" As he spoke, he brought the young people to the meeting room on the second floor.
This was the first large-scale activity that Lu Yiwei organized since he became the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department, so he attached great importance to it. The reason he organized this training was to show that he was different from the others, and also to nurture this new force. He firmly believed that in a few years, Nanyang County would be in the hands of this generation of young people.
