Yun Jingting touched the scarf as if he suddenly felt something. He asked the Tian Xiner in a daze, "You didn't buy this outside, right? Did you knit it? "
He quickly looked up at the corner of the opposite street, and without hesitation, he strode across the road …
The Tian Xiner saw that he was heading in the direction where Mi Xaing 'er was standing. She was afraid that she would be exposed, so she hurriedly tried to grab his arm. "Third Brother, where are you going?"
Yun Jingting ignored her. He swung his arm and quickly walked to the corner of the street … She glanced around, but there was no one at the entrance of the alley. Only the dim light shone on the messy footprints on the snow.
The Tian Xiner followed behind. When she saw this scene, her heart was half at ease … Mi Xaing 'er had left. She didn't know if it was because Yun Jingting had come over and she had deliberately avoided him, or because she had seen Jiang Tingting's eagerness. She was in a bad mood. Either way, she wasn't here.
Yun Laohu's expression didn't look good. She pointed at the footprints on the ground and asked, "Xiner, what's going on here?"
"Huh?" The Tian Xiner didn't know how to lie. She stiffened her neck and said stubbornly, "I, I was standing here just now. I was waiting for you! This place is against the wind! "
Yun Laohu snorted coldly. "Tian Xiner, don't lie to me. I used to be a scout. I can tell at a glance that the footprints on the ground clearly belong to two women … You stood here for a long time. Then, you went to the military base to look for me, and the other woman ran in the opposite direction!"
His judgment was really fast … In such a short time, he had already analyzed the ins and outs of the entire matter.
The Tian Xiner could only continue to make up the story. "Huh? That … that … I met a friend, and we stood here and talked for a while! After that, she went home! "
When Yun Laohu saw her expression, she didn't say anything. She followed Mi Xaing 'er's winding footprints and chased after her. When she reached the other end of the alley, she looked up and saw that the road was quiet. There was no one at all. There were only a few buses driving slowly in the night.
He cursed in annoyance.
He didn't know why, but he was certain that the footprints were left by his wife. For a moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
There was anticipation, excitement, and surprise …
There was also a trace of resentment … resentment towards Mi Xaing 'er for not saying a single word to him even though they were so close.
However …
He was a shrewd man. Even though his heart was surging, he didn't show it on his face … He knew how his wife felt when she left and her current situation. He turned his head and glanced at the Jiang Tingting who came after her. He was stunned and swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Jiang Tingting also came over!
When she saw Yun Laohu's expression just now, she knew that something must have happened. She had a vague suspicion in her heart … After all, Yun Jingting had always been calm and composed. She rarely lost control like she did tonight. Therefore, when she saw her crossing the road, she quickly followed her.
She pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong? Third Brother, did something happen? Do you need my help? "
The Tian Xiner couldn't help but say, "Hey, why are you following me again? I've never seen a woman as shameless as you. You gave him a birthday present, but he didn't even accept it. Don't you know what's going on? Moreover, Third Brother Yun has a wife … "
Has a wife?
This sentence pierced Jiang Tingting's heart … It had been two years. Ever since Mi Xaing 'er left, she had been deceiving herself and telling herself, "That woman is gone, and Third Brother's past is over. He's still mine, and I can still pursue him openly."
Now that she heard the Tian Xiner mention Mi Xaing 'er again, how could she not feel upset?
She immediately retorted, "Third Brother and Mi Xaing 'er have completely drawn the line. They're no longer husband and wife. Third Brother is free. He can be with whoever he wants. He's not bound by marriage!"
"You're really shameless. You …"
The Tian Xiner rolled up her sleeves and was about to walk over … She really wanted to "touch" Jiang Tingting's face and leave five big handprints on her.
However, before she could do anything, she was stopped by Yun Jingting.
Yun Laohu smiled calmly. There was no emotion on his face … It was as if in this world, only Mi Xaing 'er could make him ecstatic and furious. Everyone and anything else was just a passing cloud. "Xin' er, I don't need to explain my relationship with Mi Xaing 'er to outsiders! Aren't you here to celebrate my birthday? I've already accepted your present! I like it very much! Let's go! I'll take you home now and have a drink with Brother Tong? "
Outsiders?
And Yun Laohu's gentleness when he spoke to the Tian Xiner …
When these two things were added together, Jiang Tingting felt as if she had been slapped in the face … The gold pen that she had asked someone to bring back from abroad and the love that she had specially sent over on a snowy night was nothing compared to a hand-knitted scarf in Yun Laohu's eyes.
Her diligent heart was smashed to the ground by Cloud Tiger with a 'plop' and stomped on twice. She had no dignity left.
Jiang Tingting watched as Yun Jingting and the Tian Xiner talked affectionately as they walked. They got on the bus across the street and disappeared into the long snowy night.
She felt so wronged that she cried … She had been secretly in love with him since she was 14 years old. All these years of scheming, in the eyes of her "lover", were nothing compared to Mi Xaing 'er's little finger.
She couldn't accept it!
The more she couldn't get it, the more she couldn't accept it.
She took a deep breath and wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand. Then, she turned around and walked home.
When she reached her apartment building, before she could go upstairs, a figure suddenly appeared from the dark and opened his arms to block her way. "Tingting, what took you so long? Where have you been? "
Jiang Tingting was shocked at first. When she saw who it was, she was furious. She glared at him fiercely and said, "Hsu Mingwei, how many times have I told you not to come to my house to look for me? It's bad for your image!"
Hsu Mingwei smiled awkwardly and said, "Then … how can I see you? You won't let me go to the theater, you won't let me go to work, and now you won't let me come to your house. Isn't this obvious … "
Jiang Tingting abruptly interrupted him and said, "Yes, it's obvious that I don't want to see you. I get annoyed whenever I see you!"
After she finished speaking, she went up the stairs with a thud.
Hsu Mingwei followed behind her and said, "Tingting, calm down. You don't seem to be in a good mood today. Did someone bully you outside? Your eyes are a little red! What's wrong? Are you crying? "
The more he cared about Jiang Tingting, the more she didn't buy it.
When they reached the door, Jiang Tingting took out her keys and waved her hand impatiently. "Don't follow me anymore. You can go now!"
Hsu Mingwei smiled disapprovingly … Perhaps he had been rejected so many times that he didn't think much of it.
He leaned against the door and said, "You won't let me in? Fine! I'll just stand here until you're tempted. Anyway, I don't think it's embarrassing. Everyone in the military knows that I'm pursuing you. They all know that you have a temper and treat me like shit! So what if I stand here all night? I'll just treat it as … "
He didn't think it was embarrassing?
Jiang Tingting didn't want to have anything to do with him!
In her heart, her reputation was the most important thing. Only then could she be a perfect match for Yun Jingting.
When she saw Hsu Mingwei's desperate look, she knew that he could really stand here all night. If news of this got out, it wouldn't be good.
At this thought …
She could only step aside and said, "Xu, I really have to hand it to you! How about this? Come in and say what you want to say. Once you're done, you can leave! "
Hsu Mingwei nodded happily and stepped into the house.
To be honest …
In his heart, he really thought that Jiang Tingting was a fairy. He always thought that as a rural university student who liked a famous "white swan" in the military, if he could really win the heart of this little princess, he would have to pay the price. Even if she had a little temper, she would have to tolerate it, right?
Although that was what he thought …
But in the middle of the night, a man's deep-rooted self-esteem would jump out and unconsciously go against his "humble view of love". "Love but can't have it" and "should I continue", the two sides would fight to the death, and there would be no clear winner. Xu Mingwei was so tormented that he was worried about his gains and losses. Sometimes, he even felt that he was going crazy.
When he entered the room, he didn't ask anyone to let him in and just sat on the sofa … To him, Jiang Tingting's house was already quite familiar. When Tan Si died, Jiang Tingting was afraid that he would leak the secret, so she tried her best to make use of him and appease him. Naturally, they became closer and didn't reject his visit.
Xu Mingwei, on the other hand, was deceiving himself and treating this "lack of rejection" seriously as love.
Therefore, when he looked up and saw Jiang Tingting's red eyes, his heart really ached. He sighed softly and said, "You went to look for him again? You came back crying again? I waited for you downstairs for two hours … "
Jiang Tingting was in a particularly bad mood tonight. "You deserve it! Who asked you to wait for me? I've told you a hundred times, don't bother me in the future! "
She simply didn't consider the words she used. "Hsu Mingwei, Tan Si's matter is already in the past. His death has nothing to do with me. I didn't poison him! You don't have to use this matter to threaten me. Also, I've already treated you well. I kept you in the military and let you become an official doctor according to the agreement. This means that the deal between us is complete. From now on, you are you, and I am me … "After saying so much, she went to the kitchen and sat down.
After saying so much in one breath, she probably felt a little tired. She walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea. She didn't let Xu Mingwei give in and gulped down half the cup. Then she wiped the corner of her mouth and looked at Xu Mingwei with disdain. "I'm not a fool. I know what you're thinking. But why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? How can the two of us be together? You're just a poor student from the countryside. You don't have the looks or the background.
Since she had already said half of what she wanted to say, she might as well finish it.
She harrumphed coldly and heartlessly. "I advise you to stop daydreaming. You want to marry me? That's a toad lusting after a swan's meat. How can I … be stuck on a pile of cow dung from the countryside like you? "
What she said …
It really hurt his self-esteem too much.
No matter how much Hsu Mingwei loved her, he couldn't take it lying down. He immediately retorted, "That's right! I'm from the countryside. Maybe I'm not worthy of pursuing a little princess like you. Maybe I don't have any strong points! But you're not much better than me. In someone's eyes, you're also a pile of cow dung! "
Ah?
Jiang Tingting had just eaten "Yun Laohu" outside, and when she came back, she was scolded by Xu Liwei as a pile of dung. How could she not be angry?
She casually grabbed the remaining half cup of tea and threw it at Hsu Mingwei's face. "Get lost! My family … will never welcome you! "
In an instant, the remaining tea in the cup dripped down Hsu Mingwei's face and onto his lapel.
This splash …
It triggered the wildness and manliness in Hsu Mingwei's heart. He calmly wiped his face with his hand and smiled coldly. "Jiang Tingting, I'm warning you. Don't think too highly of yourself and trample on a man's dignity!"
"You? A man? "
Hsu Mingwei stood up abruptly and pounced in front of Jiang Tingting like a ferocious, hungry wolf. His protruding Adam's apple bobbed twice. "Am I a man or not? Do I have to prove it to you? "
Jiang Tingting had never seen him angry. She was a little scared and hurriedly raised her hand to push him away. "Stay away from me. If you come near me again, I … I'll go to the military and sue you! I'll sue you for being a hooligan and kick you out of the military hospital. Hsu Mingwei, I, Jiang Tingting, have the ability to do so. Since I can keep you here, I can also kick you out. After all, you're just a worthless ant. No one cares if you live or die! "
Hsu Mingwei was probably really anxious now. "Yes! I'm worthless! But what about you? You don't want to be a 'swan,' but you have to be cheap and chase after Yun Jingting. You've turned yourself from a rich young lady into a toad … "
Ah?
A toad?
Hsu Mingwei also showed his authority and continued, "You're not even as good as me! Maybe one day, I'll be able to obtain the happiness I've been pursuing! But what about you? You're rushing to send yourself to him, but he doesn't even look at you. Let me tell you, if a woman is too cheap and doesn't even respect herself, others will look down on her even more! "
Yun Tingting was so angry that she was trembling. "Who are you calling cheap?"
"I'm talking about you! Don't think that a villager is inferior to you! Bullsh * t! Mi Xaing 'er is also a villager, but Yun Jingting was the one who chased after her. He repeatedly went to her house to propose marriage. In the end, he even forcefully snatched the marriage away from her! Why is that? Because Yun Jingting can see through you. She knows that you may be of noble birth, but the things you do are the dirtiest. You're even worse than a common villager! "
Dirtiest?
Tingting had always thought highly of herself. How could she allow others to say that about her?
Her two small hands clenched into fists, and her eyes were frighteningly red. She didn't have any of her usual gentleness, and what replaced it was extreme insanity. "Hsu Mingwei, speak clearly. Who are you calling dirty?"
Hsu Mingwei was already heartbroken and didn't intend to tolerate it anymore. "Who? You! You're dirty! I won't talk about Tan Si anymore! That night at the theater, you know best why you had a dispute with him! I'll only talk about the anonymous letter from the military … "
Once he mentioned the anonymous letter …
Jiang Tingting's face was a little pale, but she still forced herself to be calm and straightened her neck. "What anonymous letter? I don't understand what you're saying! "
Hsu Mingwei sneered. "Jiang Tingting, your little tricks can fool others, but they can't fool me! These two years, I've been closer to you. When I came to your house, I accidentally found a few tattered old newspapers in the trash. How could the newspapers be riddled with holes? We're all sensible people, so let's not expose it! "
"…"
"Those anonymous letters that are sent to the military and G Committee every month on time were obviously fabricated by you. In order to frame Mi Xaing 'er and break her and Yun Jingting up, you dared to do anything …"
Hsu Mingwei sighed. "In order to help you hide these things, these two years, I've been condemned by my conscience. Since you don't appreciate it and think that I'm doing something unnecessary, then I've thought it through. I won't be annoying in front of you, so I'll simply leave the military and return to the countryside to be a barefoot doctor. However, before I leave, I want to confess everything that I've done and your 'false accusations' to the military … That way, I'll feel better in my heart!"
After he finished speaking, he strode out.
Confess?
Jiang Tingting was scared!
If these shameful things were made public, then the perfect image that she painstakingly built in front of everyone would completely collapse … In front of Yun Laohu, in front of the unit, and even in front of her own mother, she would never be able to lift her head up again.
At this thought …
Jiang Tingting took a few steps forward and rushed over to grab Hsu Mingwei. "Don't! Don't go yet! "
Her voice softened as she leaned over to Hsu Mingwei. She widened her eyes and pretended to be pitiful. "Brother Xu, if … you really have the heart to destroy me, to make me unable to lift my head up again for the rest of my life?"
As she spoke, she squeezed out two teardrops like raindrops on a pear blossom.
Hsu Mingwei loved her in his heart. It was precisely because love was blind that he hid everything for her and did so much for her.
At this moment … when he saw her soft and gentle expression and the two of them were so close, he felt that he couldn't control himself anymore. He simply opened his arms and pulled Jiang Tingting into his embrace. He muttered to himself, "Tingting, in this world, only I love you the most! Only I … am willing to do anything for you! "
Jiang Tingting half raised her head … She was suppressing the disgust in her heart, but she put on an innocent face. Her small mouth slightly opened, and her rosy lips trembled slightly. "Big Brother Xu, promise me that you'll never mention the anonymous letter again. I know I was wrong, and I'll definitely change!"
His lover's choked sobs and begging for mercy made Hsu Mingwei lose his mind. He was also a hot-blooded man in his twenties and had just experienced his first awakening of love. The woman he yearned for was right next to him. How could he control himself when she was leaning against him tenderly?
He nodded vigorously. "Tingting, don't worry! As long as it's something you ask of me, I will definitely do it! I-I love you so much that I'm going crazy. In my heart, you are the most perfect woman in the world … "
Jiang Tingting pretended to be shy and lowered her head shyly.
Hsu Mingwei kissed her forehead with trembling lips.
Jiang Tingting's slight struggle triggered his manly nature. Hsu Mingwei hugged her even tighter. He leaned forward and pressed her directly onto the sofa. With trembling hands, he turned off the table lamp and kept murmuring, "Tingting, I will marry you. I will take responsibility for you!"
Jiang Tingting turned her head away in disgust.
Outside the window …
The snow was getting heavier …
The room was filled with Hsu Mingwei's heavy panting …
At this moment …
He felt that he was the happiest man in the world. His passion was surging and his whole body was trembling with excitement.
What about Jiang Tingting?
It was the exact opposite!
She felt that this was the most humiliating and painful moment of her life. She wanted to reject him, but she didn't dare to offend him. She was being pressed down by a man she "looked down upon," yet she had to tactfully accept his pleasure. Moreover, she had "betrayed" the "white moonlight" that she yearned for the most in her heart. The "chastity" that she had always kept for the sake of her "lover" was so easily destroyed by someone else … This pain was deeply gnawing at her heart.
She clenched her fists tightly and bit her lip …
Hate …
Shame …
Pursue the source …
If it wasn't for Mi Xaing 'er "snatching" Yun Jingting away …
She cursed bitterly in her heart. Mi Xaing 'er, I will definitely see your family destroyed.
**
Tian Xiner brought Yun Jingting into the house. When she saw Tong Che, she immediately smiled and said, "Brother, look who's here!"
Tong Che put down the book in his hand. His eyes were filled with surprise. "Oh, it's Tiger?"
"Yes! I'm here to have a drink with you! "
Tian Xiner immediately said, "I'll go warm up the wine and make some side dishes while I'm at it!"
She swiftly took off her cotton-padded jacket and hung it behind the door. Then, she turned around and went into the kitchen.
Yun Laohu sat next to Tong Che and smiled … Without greeting him, she suddenly said, "Brother Tong, thank you for your birthday present! I really like it! "
Tong Che froze for a moment. "Huh? What present? "
Yun Jingting narrowed her eyes. The smile on her lips gradually disappeared. Her voice was deep and powerful. "Didn't you ask Tian Xiner to give you a present?" "Don't you know?"
Tong Che looked back at her but smiled without saying anything … In reality, he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.
Yun Jingting was very smart. She immediately saw through the mystery. She coughed softly and raised her voice towards the kitchen. "Xin 'er, come here for a moment!"
"Coming!" Tian Xiner stood at the kitchen door with a spatula in her hand. Her eyes were wide open. "What's the matter?"
Yun Jingting crossed her arms. "Let me ask you. What's with this present? Is Mi Xaing 'er back? Did you go to the military base with her tonight? Well, it's fine if you don't want to tell me the truth! Then make up a lie! If your lie can fool Brother Tong and me at the same time, then I'll only listen to you in the future! "
Huh?
Tian Xiner twisted the corner of her shirt with one hand. She looked a little embarrassed. "This … this …"
----- Digression —
Thank you, Love Me As Before, for your tip …
By the way, I won't comment on Comrade Little Xu's character. As for Jiang Tingting framing Mi Xaing 'er, that's not a good thing. Sooner or later, there will be retribution. Let's take it slow …
