Mo Ruo only cared about drinking and did not answer her.
After a moment of silence.
Tang Si said, "My father has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't mind what he said in the day, he didn't mean it. Really, in Houliao, he's a great hero. Everyone respects him."
"…"
"Also, I can't take back what I said today. If you can't convince my father before tomorrow morning, he will take me back to Houliao."
"Bang!" Mo Ruo slammed the wine jug on the table.
Hmm?
Tang Si was taken aback and looked at him in confusion.
He raised his pair of weak eyes to meet her gaze and said four words.
"Her name is Kong Yu."
Kong Yu?
Who was that?
Tang Si was perplexed, but she did not interrupt him. Instead, she listened quietly.
The light shone on the man's face, sharpening his cold and hard facial features, revealing a hint of sadness.
Mo Ruo placed a hand on the table and tilted his body slightly, looking up at the hairy moon in the sky. She said in a low voice, "She likes to look at the moon. The moon after a heavy rain. She says it's the cleanest and purest moon. So every night after it rains, she would habitually sit on the bridge and swing her bare feet in the air. I often laugh at her for being silly. I laugh at her for having such a hobby. But every time, she would just laugh it off. She was like this when she was young, and she was still like this when she grew up. It was as if she never cared about what others thought of her. It was precisely this kind of woman that made me want to protect her since I was young. I even secretly swore that I would never leave her in this lifetime, but I never had the courage to do so.
I was so angry that I told her my feelings, but when I gathered my courage, she would never know. "
Tang Si opened her mouth and asked cautiously, "Then … where is she?"
"He's dead!" Two light words flowed out of his mouth.
Ugh!
Tang Si was stunned for a moment. She finally understood what the knot in Mo Ruo's heart was. She had never seen Mo Ruo show such an apologetic expression when he was talking about someone before.
She asked, "You still can't forget her?"
"Yes."
"What about me? What am I? "His voice was choked.
Mo Ruo replied, "You are very similar to her!" "Similar?" This word stabbed fiercely into Tang Si's chest, the pain jolting her to her senses. She slowly got up and stared at the man in front of her in disbelief. "So... the reason you want me to come back to the capital with you is because I look like her? The reason you let me stay with you is because of me.
Similar to her? And the reason why you're pushing me away now, is it because I look like her? Really? "
The questioning voices grew louder and louder! He raised his eyelids to look at the furious woman in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and stood up shakily. He staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground. He answered honestly, "That's right, it's all because the two of you look alike. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have agreed to bring you to the capital.
I'm not that muddle-headed. I almost deceived myself. I'm sorry. "
"…"
"Actually, your father is right. Any man in Houliao is stronger than me. Look at me, I spend all day soaking in a wine jar. I don't look like a human, and I don't look like a ghost. Can you bear to marry someone who has another woman in his heart?" He spread his arms and waved his sleeves.
He spread his arms and waved his sleeves.
Tang Si took a step back, her eyes brimming with tears and her nose turning red.
Mo Ruo said, "Go back with your father."
In the end, he still said those words.
Tang Si smiled bitterly and said with a sobbing tone, "I understand, I understand …"
She said it over and over again, and then —
She turned and ran away. Mo Ruo felt a sharp pain in his heart as he looked at her figure. His hands slowly fell to his sides and his brows knitted together. The guilt on his face deepened. A surge of energy seemed to rush out of his body. Like a man-eating beast, he suddenly raised his hand and swept it towards the stone table.
He forcefully swept the two jars of wine on the stone table and overturned them.
A loud crashing sound rang out.
They were smashed to pieces.
"Ah!"
He screamed and squatted on the ground, his emotions intertwined like a ball of string.
His mind went blank.
… …
After Tang Si ran away, she went back to her room and closed the door, crying non-stop. She cried like that for the whole night.
Her eyes were swollen like two large pustules.
The next day, she packed her things with a haggard face and promised to return to Houliao with her father.
Her father was shocked.
But he didn't ask or say anything. He brought his men and Tang Si out of Yuhua Pavilion, bought a horse carriage and left the capital.
At this time, Mo Ruo was still lying on the floor in his room, drunk.
Until someone opened the door and a gust of cold wind blew in, causing his body to tremble. He opened his weak eyes but was blinded by the sudden flash of light. He couldn't see who it was.
Jing Rong walked in and looked down at the puddle of mud on the floor. "He's dead."
Remind him!
The word 'die' echoed in his ears for a long time before Mo Ruo finally moved. He sat up with difficulty and leaned against the cabinet behind him. He smiled, picked up the bottle of wine on the floor, and shook it a little.
There's still wine!
He started drinking again.
Jing Rong didn't scold him when he saw him like this. Instead, he sat down beside him and took a sip from the wine bottle. Jing Rong said, "I know that no matter how long it has been, you will never forget it. But he's dead, and he's dead. He can't come back to life. So what if he lives on in your heart? Can you continue like this? If she knows in the underworld, how can you be at ease? "He paused.
Regarding this matter, I should have told you earlier, but I endured it. I didn't want to poke through that thin layer of paper. I just wanted you to wake up and understand on your own. However, it turns out that I was wrong. I also completely underestimated the weight of her in your heart. "
"Don't say anymore!"
"That's right, Miss Tang is very similar to her. But ask yourself, is it really because of the resemblance that you brought her back to the capital? Is that why you let her stay by your side? "
"…"
Jing Rong sighed and stood up. He continued, "You've already missed out on her once. Don't make the same mistake a second time. While it's still not too late, go chase after her."
Mo Ruo was silent.
Jing Rong didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
But …
The moment he stepped out of the door, Mo Ruo suddenly stood up and rushed out. He bypassed Jing Rong and ran towards the main door.
A cold wind lingered in the air.
Mo Ruo shouted, "Prepare the horse!"
