MTL - The Humble Spare Tire is Set After the Car Rolls Over-Chapter 53 Sleepwalking like a shadow chasing the light (6)
The days went on like this.
If you don't go to the bottom of it, the occasional court speech will also raise a hidden joy.
Because he seemed to vaguely feel the softening of Lin Zheng's attitude towards him, the distance they kept getting closer.
But this kind of joy is only a splendor in the air after all, it has no roots and no foundation, and at the same time it makes people feel that there is no downfall.
Finally, when Chao Ci saw Lin Zheng on the hot search that day, the pavilion in the sky suddenly began to crumble.
This hot search is to announce that a rich daughter named Shen Yuning is about to get engaged. Because this daughter surnamed Shen has been quite active on the Internet and has a relatively large fan base on Weibo and ins, her engagement has also attracted widespread attention.
She posted a photo of her and the man who was about to get engaged. She was sitting on a forest swing with a tall and handsome alpha standing behind her.
The alpha wore a straight suit, combed all her hair back, her thin lips pursed slightly, and her emerald eyes looked straight at the camera.
It's Lin Zheng.
Except for this photo, Shen Yuning didn't mention anything about the man, including his name. But the handsome alpha in the photo immediately aroused the curiosity of netizens, and then the entry #shenyuningfiance# rushed to the top of the hot search, and the third hot search was #shenyuning about to get engaged#.
The photo of Lin Zheng and Shen Yuning was high on the list. Netizens tried their best to find out the details of this man, but they couldn't find anything except a photo.
Netizens were all scratching their heads and speculating about Lin Zheng's identity. But after half an hour, the hot search was withdrawn. Later, no matter how the netizens changed the entries, they could not rush to the hot search list.
Only the hot search for Shen Yuning's upcoming engagement was still hanging, but it was also withdrawn after half a day.
These follow-up speeches are no longer followed. He carefully looked at Lin Zheng in the group photo over and over again.
He prayed that he was wrong, but no matter how he looked at it, the person in the photo was Lin Zheng.
He put down his phone and sat in the living room dumbfounded.
It was a weekend night, and he originally just wanted to wait for Lin Zheng to come back in the living room as usual. Lin Zheng has been very busy these past few months, and he is also worried about him, but he can't help much, so he can only wait for him to come back every night.
But he didn't expect to see such news at this time.
Two hours later, when the hands on the clock moved past twelve o'clock, there was a sound from the door.
Chao Ci set his sights there.
After Lin Zheng entered the door, he saw Chao Ci sitting on the sofa and looking straight at him with a dull expression.
He couldn't help frowning, feeling a little weird.
Although Chao Ci always insists on waiting for him to come back, in fact, he has a lot of things to do at ordinary times. Generally, he does not insist on it until after twelve o'clock, and after eleven o'clock, he will fall asleep in a daze. When he entered the door, he was awakened by the sound of the door, then looked at him in a daze, leaned closer to him, and talked softly.
But today he obviously didn't fall asleep, and there was something wrong with his expression.
Lin Zheng walked up to him and looked at Chao Ci sitting on the sofa. Because of his tall stature, he looked down at Chao Ci and looked very oppressive.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zheng asked in a low voice.
After a long time, Chao Ci found his voice, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "...Are you going to get engaged?"
Lin Zheng pursed his lips, remembering the news that Shen Yuning posted on the Internet without authorization today, and he understood a little.
"Yeah." He nodded, as if he didn't think it was anything.
Chao Ci looked up at him, those emerald green eyes looked so cold under the slightly dim chandelier.
A simple syllable easily knocked the Chao Ci into the abyss.
Chao Ci's palm was as cold as ice, and his heart was soaked in the cold pool, falling to the deepest point.
"Then...then we..." Chao Ci used all his strength, but it was still difficult to say this sentence.
The vibration of the vocal cords seems to be difficult to bring the airflow between the larynx.
"Then we," he gritted his teeth, holding back tears and the sourness of his nose, "are we going to end it?"
Lin Zheng frowned, his voice a little cold: "What's the end?"
"You're getting married, me, I..." Chao Ci's eyes were red, "I should go."
Lin Zheng was a little irritable.
He didn't think there would be any conflict when he wanted to get married and Chao Ci was by his side.
Chao Ci was unable to bear the gravity of those tears, letting them slide down his cheeks.
Lin Zheng looked at the omega in front of him, thin and small, but he didn't know where so many tears came from, and his peach eyes were swollen from crying.
But seeing this idiot so sad, he also seemed a little uncomfortable.
He explained patiently, "I'm married, and you can stay by my side too."
He and Shen Yuning agreed to marry, and the other party naturally couldn't control him.
"I still live here, and there will be no change between you and me."
He thought that this blushing omega would give him a silly smile like before, and then he could give him a good hug for the sake of his sadness.
Unexpectedly, omega stopped the tears, but did not show any happy emotions, but looked at him with some disbelief.
He widened his eyes and said, "How could there be no change?"
Lin Zheng is about to get married, what does he mean by staying by Lin Zheng's side?
For more than a year, he can stay by Lin Zheng's side, but after that? Is he going to be the third party who destroys other people's families?
He took a deep breath and suddenly felt that Lin Zheng was a little strange.
But he still held on to hope, and finally asked: "Do you have to get married? You can't..."
Don't you end?
But before these three words were uttered, he felt ridiculous again.
He looked up at Lin Zheng, and sure enough, there was no wavering in his eyes.
Over the past year or so, he has indeed gradually misunderstood his position.
He's just something Lin Zheng doesn't have... Maybe not even a lover.
In the past, he only hoped to be closer to Lin Zheng, to be so close to him like this was something he never dared to think about before.
It's just a few hundred days and nights of dreams, and after all, he is a little confused about himself.
Occasionally, Lin Zheng's seemingly gentle actions also made him grow fantasies that he shouldn't have.
People are always so greedy.
It's time to go, Chao Ci.
If Lin Zheng doesn't marry someone else, is he still married to you?
There is always an end to this dream, he actually always knew it, but he never dared to think about it.
Before Lin Zheng could speak, Chao Ci shook his head and said, "Sorry, I said the wrong thing."
"I'm too greedy..." he murmured.
Seeing that Chaoci had been holding on to this matter, Lin Zheng became impatient: "I said, she doesn't affect us."
Chao Ci twitched the corners of his mouth, a little weak: "How can it not affect..."
"Then what do you want? Do you want to leave?" Lin Zheng's tone became colder, as if suppressing his anger.
"I don't want to, but... I should go." Chao Ci lowered his head, his voice almost choked.
Lin Zheng pursed his lips, and his emerald green eyes darkened completely.
Although he asked Chao Ci like this, he didn't expect Chao Ci to actually answer that he was leaving.
Walk? Where to go?
It was this idiot who wanted to get close to him, and now said he wanted to leave?
"Chao Ci." He pressed his throat, his voice was extremely cold, "Think clearly, you will never have to come back after you leave."
"Think about it for yourself."
As he said that, he turned around and walked out of the villa.
The sound of the door being slammed shut seemed to awaken Chao Ci's mood, he was stunned for a moment, then he covered his face with his hands, tears constantly overflowing from his fingers.
Of course he didn't want to leave, but how could he stay?
Lin Zheng was angry because he said he was going to leave?
Should he be happy? I'm glad that even though Lin Zheng was about to get married, he didn't want to drive him away.
Maybe Lin Zheng was just angry because he wanted to leave without authorization. He didn't necessarily care about himself, but he never liked others to disobey him.
Sometimes Chao Ci doesn't know why he likes someone like Lin Zheng, it's clearly two worlds that are completely different and cannot be integrated into.
But he always remembered the young man who helped him to the clinic. Although he was unsmiling, he listened to the doctor's orders earnestly and repeated it to him sentence by sentence.
The boy's light green eyes looked like the sun.
It's been too long, seven or eight years have passed.
Sometimes Chao Ci would also wonder if he remembered it wrong, or it was too long that day, and he put a filter on that night. How could Lin Zheng be so gentle?
But he couldn't let go no matter what.
For this silhouette in his memory, he has worked hard for several years, which almost occupied half of his memory.
Because he loves someone wholeheartedly, even if everything about Lin Zheng is good in his eyes, it is unconditional.
Chao Ci raised his head and looked at the chandelier above his head unfocused.
Hundredly thought.
Is the eight-year chase really going to end like this?
...
The next day was a working day, and Chao Ci still cheered up and went to school.
For three days in a row, Lin Zheng did not return to the Jade Jade Palace.
In the evening of the third day, after Zhao Ci got off work, he was preparing to take the subway to go back.
For more than a year, Lin Zheng has not been stingy with him in terms of money, and regularly deposits 200,000 yuan into his account every month.
Secretary Wu even mentioned that he would transfer a recently opened villa with a price of more than 20 million to him.
Even if the latter is rejected by Chaoci, he now has millions of funds on his card.
But the money is useless. Maybe he is no different from those who betrayed him in the eyes of others, but Chao Ci always has to guard the bottom line.
He works in a key middle school, and his salary is actually not a lot. In addition, he has always saved, and his life is actually relatively rich. He also saved nearly 200,000 on his other card.
In Jade Palace alone, Lin Zheng had more than a dozen cars in his garage, and he asked Chao Ci to pick one at random. Although Chao Ci has been selected, it has basically never been opened. First, he didn't want to, and second, he was working in middle school. It was too ostentatious to drive a car that cost millions of dollars.
Chao Ci was walking on the subway and couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
[Fortunately, this is the mission world, I can't take the money with me, or I'll go crazy with joy. ] He told the system, [Although Lin Zheng is arrogant, arrogant, and a bit stupid, he is really generous, and it's not a loss to lick him. 】
【Oh. 】The system responded coldly.
He was used to the sudden convulsion of Chao Ci.
Chao Ci pouted because of the indifference of the system, and was about to say something, but he met a person head-on.
A young man in casual clothes. He looked about twenty-two or three years old, with a sweater on top and sweatpants on the bottom, and his half-length hair dyed chestnut, looking sunny and cheerful.
"Hello, I'm Lin Qi, Lin Zheng's younger brother, can I chat with you?"
The boy smiled at him.
