If you can love like this

Chapter 17

We are all just ordinary people in the mortal world, always relying on our own pride to love or hate, we can't tolerate hurt, but we hurt each other deeply inadvertently.

Two days later, our recording was finally over.Geng Mochi invited us to dinner as the host, in the euphemistic name of showing the friendship of the landlord.He didn't choose to stay in a big restaurant, but booked in a low-key and exquisite private restaurant. He brought me to this restaurant three years ago. It only accepts reservations. The minimum consumption per person is not less than [-]. There were nine people, plus Geng Mochi and the assistant he brought over, eleven people.

Ah Qing smacked his tongue while flipping through the menu, leaned close to my ear and said, "Hey, it's so expensive, why don't you give us cash, the cheapest vegetable costs [-], my mother..."

Xiao Lin, Geng Mochi's assistant, is in charge of ordering dishes and greeting guests. She is a very young girl, and of course she is also very beautiful. She is wearing a famous brand. Maybe because she is too young, those famous brands look a bit dazzling on her, and she also has a smug look. Snobbish, seemingly enthusiastic, but actually cold.

During the dinner, our colleagues here frequently toasted Geng Mochi. I know that Geng Mochi usually doesn’t drink alcohol and only drinks a small amount of red wine on weekdays. However, Feng Ke probably felt that the red wine was not strong enough, so he ordered white wine instead. I noticed that Xiao Lin’s face pulled Come down, "Teacher Geng doesn't drink liquor."

"It's okay, break the precept today." Geng Mochi took the cup generously.

"That's right, it's rare to have a chance to have a meal with Mr. Geng, and baijiu has the atmosphere!" Feng Ke brought here his usual bold demeanor on the wine table. He toasted Geng Mochi three times at the beginning of the banquet, and then greeted others. Colleagues took turns to toast, so the colleagues got up one by one to toast Geng Mochi, Xiao Lin almost had a fit, "Mr. Geng, you can't drink anymore, your body..."

"Shut up!" Geng Mochi scolded her, then picked up the glass again, "I'll drink, it's fine."

Feng Ke gave a thumbs up, "Teacher Geng is happy!" He picked up the wine bottle and wanted to pour wine, but when he saw that the bottom of the bottle was empty, he quickly called the waiter next to him, "One more bottle."

I was a little startled, because I saw that Geng Mochi's face had turned pale, and the hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.Ah Qing, who was sitting next to me, also noticed his strangeness, and hurriedly said, "Fun Ke, it's almost enough."

"Hey, don't interrupt. I respect Teacher Geng because I am sincere. Don't interrupt." Feng Ke guessed that he had drunk too much, and he didn't notice Geng Mochi's pale face at all, while Xiao Lin next to him was about to burst into tears. Watching a new round of toasts begin.Geng Mochi drank two more cups, and when Feng Ke was about to pour the third cup, I put down my chopsticks suddenly, "Enough!"

The sound was so loud that even I was startled.

A table of people looked at me.

I stared at Feng Ke and said, "How much more respect do you have, you turned pale without looking at him, you want to force him to death, don't you?"

Funk froze in embarrassment, at a loss.

Ah Qing also spoke, accusing Feng Ke: "You are too, just make up your mind, Mr. Geng is a person of status, do you think of him as one of your gang of drunkards?" Turning his face, he asked Geng Mochi , "Teacher Geng, are you okay, you look very bad, do you want to go to the hospital?"

Geng Mochi waved his hand, "No, it's fine."

He trembled even to speak.

Only then did Feng Ke realize what stupid thing he had done, and he put down the bottle awkwardly, "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know Mr. Geng couldn't drink, so...does it matter?"

"Do you think it's okay? Didn't you see that Teacher Geng's face turned pale!" Although Ah Qing was aggressive, she rarely reprimanded people so harshly. She pushed me, "Hurry up and send Teacher Geng back, we're here today, no drank."

"I'll take you back." Seeing him like this made me feel very uncomfortable.

"Okay." This time he answered very bluntly, stood up staggeringly, Xiao Lin hurried to help him, was pushed away by him, and stretched out his hand to me, "Help me."

It seems that he is really dead.

Kobayashi was obviously a little embarrassed, and glanced at me coldly.

I didn't have time to pay attention to her, so I took Geng Mochi's arm and slowly helped him out of his seat. He waved to Feng Ke and the others symbolically, and couldn't even speak.Funk was so frightened that he forgot to react, he probably didn't expect the consequences to be so serious.I was also angry with him, I didn't bother to say hello to him, I helped Geng Mochi and left straight away.

"Does it matter?" Ah Qing worriedly followed me, and she was also frightened.I said to her: "You guys go back first, I will call you if there is any situation."

Geng Mochi's car was a silver BMW, parked quietly in the yard under the shade of trees.

"Teacher Geng, let me drive." Xiao Lin couldn't help but pull the car door. He was a very considerate subordinate, knowing that the boss could not drive after drinking.Unexpectedly, Geng Mochi didn't appreciate it, "You drive back first, I'll take a taxi with Miss Bai."

"Ah?" Xiao Lin froze in place.

"Let's go, follow me to the door to take a taxi." Geng Mochi said and dragged me out.Before Xiao Lin could react, "Mr. Geng, why do you need to take a taxi? I ​​can take you back to the apartment."

"If you want you to go, go, there are so many nonsense!" Geng Mochi's temper is not normal, and his opponents have no good looks from the beginning to the end, it is really difficult for this girl.

"Why do you want to take a taxi? You don't have your own car..." After getting into the taxi, I couldn't help but wonder.

He was already showing signs of exhaustion at this moment, leaning back on the back of the chair weakly and said: "I don't understand... I just want to be alone with you for a while..." His body was shaking when he said this.

"Are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital." I was really worried.

He tried to squeeze out a smile, "It's okay, I've been like this for the past two years, so I often thought I'd never see you again." He reached out and took off my sunglasses, and my red and swollen eyes were suddenly exposed to his eyes. In his eyes, he seemed to understand everything, and his fingers lightly slid across my face, "You are much thinner."

His fingertips were cold, and I shuddered instinctively.

"What's wrong with you, haven't you seen a doctor?"

He put his arm around my shoulder, "Stop talking so much nonsense, let me stay with you quietly for a while." Then he said to the driver in front, "Master, please drive slowly."

"Okay." The driver was eager, "Then I'll make a detour, and the two of you can talk slowly."

"Well, it doesn't matter if you go a little farther, it's fine as a day trip."

I stared at him for a long while speechless.

The light and shadow of the city passed by the car window quickly, and Geng Mochi thought he was extremely uncomfortable, so he kept his eyes closed.I tried to take his hand away from my shoulder, but he refused and hugged me even tighter.He just didn't speak, just closed his eyes like that, as if he was about to fall asleep.I've never seen him look so weak, and I can't tell what it's like in my heart.

After going around for more than an hour, the driver finally found out his conscience and finally made a detour to the gate of Wangjiang apartment in the community where Geng Mochi lived. I originally wanted to go back like this, but seeing him like that, I was moved with compassion and decided to help him upstairs .This residential area is not the one he used to live in. It should be newly bought. The environment is better than the original one. The building is hidden in the lush woods. His assistant Xiao Lin has arrived first and is waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment.

"You go back first, it's none of your business here." Geng Mochi waved at her without looking at her.Xiaolin didn't dare to say anything more, and watched us into the elevator.Somehow, I find the stare from behind to be stinging.I couldn't help but look back at her, but she glared at me, turned and walked away angrily stepping on her high heels.What's wrong with this girl?
"Floor 48." After entering the elevator, Geng Mochi reported the number, with almost all of his weight leaning on me, "Call Jinyi for me and ask her to come over."

"Jinyi?"

"It's the one you saw at the piano shop yesterday."

"What are you calling her for?"

"She's a nurse."

I understood, took out my mobile phone, "What's the number?" He reported a series of numbers, and I dialed them.After a while, a gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, who is it?"

I explained the situation, and she immediately agreed, "I see, I'll come right over."

At this time, he had already reached the door of Geng Mochi, he took out the key and gave it to me, motioning for me to open the door.But I didn't mean to go in. Standing at the door without moving, he turned around and squinted his eyes to look at me, "What are you doing?"

"I, I'm going back."

His gaze became a little ruthless, "Try it."

"..."

"I'm already like this, what else can I do to you?"

I had to go in.

I was a little scared when I entered the door. The living room was decorated like an exhibition hall. The pattern of the carpet was very gorgeous, and it was as soft as stepping on a cloud when you stepped on it.I was amazed at how there were so many sculptures and other handicrafts in a good living room, and there were so many paintings on the walls, but the furniture became secondary, squeezed among those handicrafts and almost invisible.

Geng Mochi sank into the sofa in relief, closed his eyes and gasped for breath, and told me, "Pour me a glass of water, hurry up."

I almost turned around and left, because his tone seemed to be ordering the servant.But thinking about it being my colleague who made him like this today, I still endured it. Since I have already achieved this, let the good people do it to the end.As a result, I broke into the bedroom by mistake and was shocked again.The bedroom is not much smaller than the living room, because it is too spacious, and the old-fashioned post bed looks very lonely by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The dressing room and bathroom are located in the bedroom, separated by glass walls. I know everything in it The furnishings are frighteningly expensive, this man is so flamboyant.

I quickly backed out, went to the kitchen and poured him water, which he drank slowly.

"Is this where people live?" I looked around and clicked my tongue.He glanced at me, "Anyway, in your eyes, I'm not human at all." This man is really strange, he treats me gently and kindly in front of others, and when we are alone, he keeps a straight face, as if I owe him eight dime and haven't paid him back.I didn't care about him, and asked casually, "Why are there so many artworks?"

"It makes me look more cultured."

"..."

He really hasn't changed at all, he's still as brazen as ever.

After a while, Jinyi came over, so fast, he should be living nearby.Wearing a nurse's uniform and carrying a medicine box, she nodded to me as soon as she entered the door. She didn't even bother to say hello, so she hurriedly performed various examinations on Geng Mochi. When she heard that he had drunk, she yelled, "You don't want to die? How did Doctor Tang explain to you?"

Geng Mochi muttered indistinctly, "Accommodating..."

"Entertainment? No one would risk his life to entertain!"

"Okay, just stop drinking from now on, save some face for me, okay?" Geng Mochi probably felt a little embarrassed because he felt that I was still by his side.

"I'll call my aunt later and say you're drinking!"

"Jin Yi!"

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that Geng Mochi would still be so humble.I couldn't help but pay special attention to this girl named Jinyi. When she lowered her head and was busy, the curve of her side face was very soft, her skin was that fine porcelain white, her figure was petite and exquisite, and she had a kind of quiet beauty.It can be seen that Geng Mochi is very "respectful" to her, and there is even a bit of pampering in his eyes, so I judge that the two are definitely not familiar with ordinary friends, otherwise Jin Yi would not talk to him in this tone, What is their relationship?
"I'm so sorry, Miss Bai, I'm so busy..." Jin Yi took Geng Mochi's blood pressure, gave him another injection, and then hurriedly went to the kitchen to make hangover soup for him.She is very sensitive, and when she noticed that I was looking at her, she turned her head and smiled at me, "He can't control himself at all, otherwise he wouldn't make his body so bad, you have to watch him closely from now on Son, he just needs no one to care about him!"

"Okay, Jinyi, you have nothing to do here, you can go."

"Oh, it's time for me to go. There are still patients in the clinic." As she spoke, she began to pack her things.At this time, Geng Mochi finished drinking the hangover soup, he seemed to be very sleepy, he couldn't even lift his eyelids, so he got up and walked towards the bedroom on his own.At the door, he remembered something, and he turned to stare at me again, "You are not allowed to leave, stay here."

"I, I still have something to do." I don't want to stay in a place where no one lives.Although the decoration is luxurious, it doesn't feel like home at all. Those hideous sculptures of humans and animals are scary to look at.

When Geng Mochi heard that I was leaving, his face was very ugly, "Hey, I drank so much wine because of you, why are you so irresponsible?"

Seeing this situation, Jin Yi hurriedly smoothed things over, held my hand and said, "Miss Bai, you should stay here. I still have a lot of things to do in my clinic, so he can't be without someone by his side."

"Yeah, I might die at some point."

"Mochi!" Jin Yi glared at him.

I was so angry that this good man couldn't do it anymore, so I asked him angrily: "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm wrong everywhere."

"It's you who wants to drink so much, what's the matter with me?"

"Why is it none of your business? Isn't it your colleague who drinks me?"

I really couldn't explain it clearly to him. Jin Yi pulled me to the balcony and advised me: "Miss Bai, you stay here. He's not scaring you. He really can't be alone, and you've seen it too." , He hates me staying here, thinks I'm nagging, please stay here with him, let him have a good rest, call me immediately if there is any situation, look at his face, it's as white as paper... "

"Jinyi, what's wrong with him?"

"he……"

"Jinyi, is your clinic closed? Why are you still chattering away?" This guy obviously didn't want me to know more, he stood at the door of the bedroom and yelled.Jin Yi said angrily: "Keep your voice down, don't you think you're not sick enough? I'm leaving now..." She shook my hand again, patted the back of my hand, and looked earnestly.I have to admit that I couldn't refuse that gaze. This girl has a wonderful and stable power. Her eyes are easily reminiscent of those angel eyes on the church murals, so I was surprised when I first saw her. Her eyes are clear.

I nodded my head as a promise.

The girl immediately showed a knowing smile, "I knew it!"

That smile was so innocent that it bloomed on the lips like a flower, making it even more irresistible.She didn't say what she knew, but she picked up the medicine box and left with confidence as if she knew everything.

Geng Mochi started giving orders again, "Come to my bedroom, look at me, I want to sleep for a while."

"I'm not going, I'm just outside."

"What if you run away?"

"Since I promised, I won't run away."

Geng Mochi leaned against the door, "Don't make a fuss, okay? I don't have the energy to argue with you. I'm really uncomfortable... Can you let me sleep peacefully? From last night until now, I haven't even Eyelids never closed."

"Why did you go? Who told you not to sleep."

"Call, go to hotel after hotel to see where you live."

"..."

I've never seen such a troublesome man. It's not enough for me to stay with him in the bedroom, but he has to ask me to move a chair to sit on the side and hold my hand. "This way you won't be able to run away." He fell asleep without finishing a word.But he was obviously asleep, but I couldn't pull out my hand. When I moved a little, he pulled him even tighter...

It has been two years, and I have never imagined such a scene, even in a dream, we are indifferent to each other.If it wasn't for the photo under the glass countertop of the desk, I might not even remember his appearance. I can't even remember why we were together in the first place, and why we were separated, and it remained in my memory in the end Only a vague and distant face remained.At this moment, staring at his face, I suddenly thought I was in a dream again...

But it was clear and real in front of me, it was dusk, the setting sun slanted in through the half-drawn floor-to-ceiling curtains, and the carpet was jumping golden.Apart from his slight breathing, there was no other sound in the room.There is only a faint wind outside the window, which sounds like it is in the suburbs.In fact, this is a penthouse on the 48th floor in the city center. Standing on the terrace, you can overlook the panoramic view of the Huangpu River.If it is night, how bright and prosperous it should be!
