Chapter 65

Su Orange thoughtlessly said, “I can’t.”

Zhou Yuchen didn’t get annoyed, coaxed people with a light smile, mixed up and said, “Then change you kiss me.”

That’s still the same.

Su orange eyebrows knit asked: “You still have something, nothing I hung up.”

Zhou Yuchen opened his mouth and called out to her, “Orange, don’t hang up.”

The voice in the receiver seems to break for a moment, two seconds later, Su Orange heard the clicking sound of the lighter, he should be smoking, subconsciously, she blurted out, “In the future, smoke less, it’s not good for the lungs.”

How long has it been since Zhou Yuchen heard such words of concern, eight years, counting from the day of the breakup, eight years and six months to be exact.

In these eight years, the initial three years he and his family is completely disconnected, even the old man did not contact, every day out of the morning and evening non-stop busy.

The most serious time also busy out of the stomach hemorrhage, in the hospital for a week, the other people in the ward have someone to take care of, bring soup and water to ask for warmth, only he did not.

He was left to fend for himself like a weed in an unfamiliar place, and when he had the operation he signed for it with his own strength.

The doctor asked him if he had no family or loved ones.

That was the instant Su Orange’s face appeared in his mind like that, and he even had some kind of hallucination that she was right in front of him, that she was smiling at him, telling him that she had always been there and never left.

But a fantasy was a fantasy, nothing.

The nurse read out the precautions and told him that any surgery carries risks, no one can guarantee that the surgery will be successful, and that he should be mentally prepared.

In fact, he had long been mentally prepared to face death at any time.

After losing Su Qiang, his life seems to be nothing, living without direction, moving forward without a goal, he does not even know what the end is.

Su Orange said that it was because of him that he didn’t get to see his grandmother one last time, and he was just as remorseful and indignant, wanting to smack himself in the face.

Wrong, he smoked, one by one, hit the face is swollen, the last is Zhao Chuan to stop, he asked him if he is crazy, a woman as far as.

What’s wrong with breaking up?

The big deal is to find another one.

Zhao Chuan also shook his shoulders and said, “Brother Sam, you used to be more dashing ah, nothing in the eyes, wantonly live, why now to force themselves into this, it is really heartbreaking.”

Zhao Chuan actually cried as he spoke.

Zhou Yuchen didn’t cry, what qualifications does he have to cry, it’s him who did the wrong thing, he deserves to suffer.

After that gastric hemorrhage surgery, the doctor instructed not to drink, but he was too sad, during the day is okay, at night people completely failed.

The past scene after scene echoed in front of his eyes, as if being torn apart, only the paralysis of alcohol will make him feel better.

How long had it been since he’d gotten a good night’s sleep, probably…ages.

He couldn’t remember.

He spent each day, year after year, by torturing himself, and in his second year in America, he excelled academically, but his heart was even more hollow.

He called Su Orange to hear her voice, the tone was empty, Su Orange changed her cell phone number, there was no way to talk, he could only send her a message.

But every time he wanted to say something, he would end up deleting it, or that sentence, what qualifications does he have.

Zhou Yuchen felt sick, as usual during the day, and couldn’t sleep at night, and his roommate noticed that he was out of sorts, and forcibly took him to the hospital.

Major depression.

He had the same disease as his mom.

The day he was diagnosed, he actually laughed. It’s good to be sick, it’s good to be sick, it’s actually better to be dead.

God didn’t kill him and let him live one more year. In the third year in the United States, his condition was under control, and he became more normal in front of people.

He wanted to meet Su Orange, quietly took the plane back to Beijing North, in Beijing North University to see the slender figure, she was not alone, there is a boy.

They were talking about something, the gesture looked intimate.

Su Orange also smiled at the boy, in a trance, he was seduced by that smile, and when he reacted, he found that he actually cried.

That kind of smile was something he had never seen before, not even in his dreams.

There was another episode that day, when his dad found him and tried to lock him up again, and the argument that day nearly toppled the roof.

He made a move, and he made a move.

He got on a plane that day and flew back to the States, buying a drink until the next day, when he nearly had an accident when his wrist was slashed by a broken bottle.

His roommate was scared out of his mind and asked him, “Why kill yourself, are you crazy.”

He squatted and sat on the floor, smiling miserably, and kept saying, “She really forgot about me, really forgot.”

Roommates do not understand this kind of one-stranded love, and when he came to his senses and said: “The world is the most women, for women to seek death is the most useless, Zhou, you are so good, you should not be immersed in the past, to look to the future.”

Future?

Without her, he couldn’t have a future.

He was like a rootless duckweed, without any sense of belonging, as if he would disappear at any time.

In the fourth year, Zhou Yuchen contacted his grandfather, and was awakened by his grandfather’s attack of words, there is no such thing as too much, if you really can’t let go of it, let yourself become better, and then chase the person back.

He began to study day and night, plus entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurial process is very hard, but the good in the hard at the same time achieved success, he used five years to make Jali bigger, so that it has become a household name of the company.

Those who didn’t know thought he was simply trying to make the business work, but no, he had other things on his mind, he wanted to prove to her that he wasn’t uneducated, he changed for the better.

Now he is qualified to appear in front of her.

If you use a sentence to describe Zhou Yuchen’s those eight years is – dead, but alive again.

“I knew that you still care about me.” Zhou Yuchen choked on the smoke, coughing up as he spoke, his assistant came out to find him, and he said into the receiver, “Good night, see you tomorrow.”

The voice was a soft mess, falling on Su Orange’s ears staining the roots of her ears red, her hands shook and she hung up the phone.

Then Zhou Yuchen came in with another WeChat.

ZYC: [It’s okay if you don’t kiss, you promised Grandpa in person that you’d go back to see him, don’t go back on your word].

That was not at all what Su Orange had to promise, it was a duck that had to promise, she turned on the faucet to splash water on her face, and did not stop until she had washed her eyes red.

Lips slightly open, gasping softly.

Wiping her fingers clean, she replied to Zhou Yuchen: [I’ll go with you].

After replying, she didn’t bother with her cell phone anymore, nor did she look at what Zhou Yuchen had sent again, and simply took a shower and walked out of the bathroom.

Lin Mai and Zhang Huan also don’t know where they heard about Yu Lele and Zhang Yang’s matter, they were furious, and took turns to send a private message to Su Orange, they are going to see Zhang Yang tomorrow and asked her if she is going to go.

Su Orange is afraid of a mess, back: [Go].

Lin Mai: [That’s fine, I’ll find a place and let you know when I’m sure].

Zhang Huan: [I’m going to tear Zhang Yang apart.]

The final meeting place was set at the barbecue restaurant opposite the Beijing North University, the one they often went to when they were in school.

Recently, the owner of the barbecue restaurant has changed, and the name of the barbecue restaurant has also changed, the new name is called: that year.

The new name is “That Year”, which has a period flavor and reminds people of many past events.

Before Su Orange went to bed, he hesitated and sent a message to Zhou Yuchen, telling him about meeting Zhang Yang tomorrow, and Zhou Yuchen quickly replied: [I’ll bring Zhang Yang over].

Then added: [It just so happens that we haven’t seen each other for a few days, let’s get together.]

Looking at his glib words, Su Orange’s heart lifted even higher, [What if they do something to him?]

ZYC: [That’s what Zhang Yang deserved, it’s not too much to take a beating.]

Su Orange replied casually: [The year we broke up, Zhang Yang could always protect you, are you not quite heartless like this].

Su orange forgot to have the topic can not be touched, especially not from her mouth out, she at this time in want to whitewash some impossible.

Zhou Yuchen did not send WeChat, but directly called, Su orange afraid of noisy beside the Yu Lele, shuffling slippers to the balcony to answer the phone.

The night temperature difference is big, the balcony is a little cold, she did not wear a jacket, only wearing a thin pajama, her shoulders and voice are shaking.

“What for?” After picking up, she asked with a suppressed voice.

“How do you know that Zhang Yang has been protecting me.” He spoke, “Would you believe me if I told you that we fought?”

“Hm? When?” Su Orange hadn’t heard Zhang Yang mention this, nor had she heard Yu Lele mention it.

“Remember the day I waited for you in the rain,” Zhou Yuchen’s voice was low, vaguely pulling Su Orange’s thoughts back to that year, “After he and Zhao Chuan brought me back, Zhao Chuan went out to buy fever-reducing medicine, and Zhang Yang and I got into an argument, and fought hard.”

Su Orange seems to have a bit of an impression, she saw Zhou Yuchen once sometime after that day and saw that he had bruises all over his face and the corner of his lips, Zhao Chuan said that he accidentally bumped into him, she believed it, but it turned out that it wasn’t.

“Why the fight?”

“Bad mood.” Zhou Yuchen laughed softly and said helplessly, “Because of you.”

The man’s voice in the night is extraordinarily low and provocative, like the sound of music played by a cello, very beautiful.

“I was very sad in those days,” his eyes looked out of the glass window, recalling the difficult past, “very painful, do not know exactly what to do?”

“I went to look for you, and you didn’t see me.” Zhou Yuchen’s face was gathered by the light pouring in, the contours of his features were deep and three-dimensional, especially his eyes, which bloomed brightly like the deep sea.

He hissed, his hand resting on his forehead, his eyes closing smoothly, “It’s really hard to endure.”

Su Orange’s heart shrunk violently, not knowing how to take his words, he could only not take them, hunching his shoulders and listening to him continue.

“We fought for a long time, the teachers were all alarmed.” The corner of Zhou Yuchen’s lips pulled down, his hand still resting on the top of his head didn’t let go down, “That night, I called you, you didn’t pick up, and you didn’t return the messages you sent.”

At that time Su Orange was doing a complete cut off with him, even if she heard the cell phone ringing she wouldn’t pick it up, as for the message, moreover, she wouldn’t return it.

Lin Mai had said that she didn’t expect her to look quite delicate and be truly desperate when she was desperate.

What she didn’t know was that she gave all her determination to that breakup, followed by endless frustration, people she drove away and probably lost in this life.

“Then Zhang Yang and I fought again,” the memory unveiled as if it happened yesterday, “the time I broke into the girls’ dormitory looking for you. I came back and got crazy drunk, and Zhang Yang couldn’t talk me out of it and fought me.”

“And did you do anything about it?” This matter Su Orange did not know, because the next day the school spread the news that Zhou Yuchen had left the country, “Broken nose.”

Su Orange sucked in a breath, “That serious, you treated it before leaving the country?”

“No, no treatment.” Zhou Yuchen said, “Just left like that.”

“Your family side…”

“They don’t even know, the airfare was bought on the spot.”

“What about the school?”

“I asked a friend to contact them.”

“Then all these years you…”

“I was all by myself.”

Zhou Yuchen said, “From the day I got together with you, I’ve just been alone.”

“They say you’re thinking about a marriage alliance.” Su Orange’s face was hazy bright by the light outside, and the pajamas on her body trickled out of the shadows, the cute bunny pattern on her chest a little faint.

“You think I need to use a marriage to stabilize the company?” Zhou Yuchen was a little less happy, “I’m a soft eater in your eyes?”

“No, I don’t think that way.” Su Orange explained, “I know you’re not.”

“Knowing that you’re not, why don’t you believe me?” Zhou Yuchen’s eyebrows screwed together, his complexion suddenly painful, “You never wanted to believe me, right?”

It was this again, Su Orange’s fingers shrank, not knowing if they were frozen or hurt by his words, the bottom of her eyes flushed red, her teeth chattered, and she said negatively, “Yes, I never wanted to trust you.”

“That’s just the way I am, so why do you even care about me.”

Sheepish white rabbit suddenly rebelled, the power is still very big, Zhou Yuchen knew that he had pushed her to the edge, and eased his voice, “I’m sorry.”

“What are you sorry for, you’re all right.” Su orange dislike, “everything is the fault, is that I deserve to look for you, once and for all, wait is a day, meals do not care to eat.”

“When I couldn’t find you, I went to look for Zhang Yang, and begged Zhao Chuan, begging them to help me look for you.”

“When you said you were gone, you were gone, and I scurried around like a headless fly, bumping into walls all over the place, but I had to keep looking.”

“Zhou Yuchen-” her voice lengthened, “When I met you, I just deserved it.”

Deserved to be bullied, deserved to lose.

That night’s chat ended here, Su Orange’s cell phone ran out of battery and automatically shut off, she didn’t hear what Zhou Yuchen said later, and of course she didn’t know, this night, Zhou Yuchen let the driver drive the car outside the neighborhood, in mid to late October in the northern part of the capital there was already a heavy coolness, and he was only wearing a single shirt, leaning against the door of the car and stood for a long time, and also attempted to give him her phone call for a long time.

Unfortunately, the beeps on the other end were all “switched off ……”

Lin Mai to meet the time in the evening, six thirty a few people on time to, Zhang Yang to come before the drums, several times backing down and begging Zhou Yuchen to let go, Zhou Yuchen did not agree, carrying his collar to drag him down from the car.

Zhang Yang stumbled and fell to the ground, and asked Zhou Yuchen, “Brother Sam, who exactly are you brothers with?”

Zhou Yuchen lightly grunted, “Anyway, it’s not with you, cut the crap and go.”

Zhang Yang was carried into the private room by him, after Lin Mai saw him, she huffed and rushed up, “Zhang Yang, I’ll split you.”

Zhang Yang was so scared that he hid behind Zhou Yuchen, “Lin Mai you calm down.”

Lin Mai said, “I will calm down again after I kill you, this negative man.”

Zhang Yang saw the momentum is not good to run around the table, Lin Mai in the back to chase, Zhang Huan followed together to stop, after catching up with the two people together to fight.

Zhang Yang held his head and crouched down, “Auntie I was wrong, I was wrong.”

Lin Mai and Zhang Huan hit enough before letting go of him and asked him what he was going to do.

Zhang Yang, “I’m not breaking up anyway.”

Lin Mai lightly grunted, “You don’t want to break up but you still want to have an affair with another woman, Zhang Yang how come I didn’t know you were so capable before.”

Zhang Yang explained, “That was drinking too much.”

“Oh, you mean, drink too much and do whatever you want, you don’t have to be responsible.”

“No, I don’t mean that.”

Zhang Yang couldn’t argue, finally begged for mercy, “Lin Mai, Zhang Huan you guys help me persuade Lele, I really can’t break up.”

Lin Mai hooked over a chair and sat down, holding his chest and looking at him askance, “Persuade? Why? Lele should break up with you.”

Zhang Yang collapsed, his eyes were red, “I won’t break up.”

While they were arguing, Su Orange’s cell phone rang, she took her cell phone and walked out with her front foot, Zhou Yuchen followed her out with his back foot.

Stepping on her shadow and following her to the end of the promenade, Su Orange said to the person on the other end, “Director, today, Assistant Qin and I finalized the signing matters again, probably in a few days we will be able to formally sign the contract, don’t worry, I’ll do a good job ……”

The phone spoke for about five minutes, five minutes later the call ended, Su Orange turned around and walked back, she was startled by the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, she patted her chest, “What are you standing here for?”

Last night’s words were not finished, Zhou Yuchen was busy with the project today and not in the company for a day, so there is no opportunity to be alone, of course, last night did not finish the words.

He clasped her hand, pulled her back to the dead center, with the body blocking her from leaving, behind the dense light, outlined his straight back.

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand to solve the body of the shirt buttons, one by one, until the skin of the chest is exposed.

At first Su Orange did not pay too much attention, but when he saw that tattoo on his chest, instantly red eyes.

The “S” is on the front of his chest, where his heart is.

He said that he would keep her in his heart for the rest of his life.
