Chapter 77: A belated confession
It's been two days since I rode the Ferris wheel with Shan Lin that day.
And Lin Qing felt that this was probably the longest day.
Her longing for Mu Li has also reached the point where she can't suppress it.
In the past two days, Mu Li only called her once, and the rest of the time, Lin Qing called, but either he was busy or no one answered.
Probably because he was too busy this time to spare time.
Lin Qing thought this very empathetically, trying to make himself feel better.
On the way to work that day, Lin Qing was tapped on the shoulder from behind.
"Senior?" She turned around, feeling incredulous.
"I went to the front to do something, but I didn't expect to actually meet you." Chen Qudong's reason is also useless.
I don't know if Lin Qing really believed it, but finally cheered up.
Chen Qudong heard the news of Mu Li's return to the army, and also knew that Xu Yuan was on a business trip, so he took advantage of the situation and said, "How are you doing lately?" If you have time, let's have a meal together. ”
Lin Qing originally respected his seniors very much, and when he thought of Mu Li's absence, he readily agreed: "Okay, when I get off work, how about going back to the Sichuan restaurant you said?" ”
Chen Qudong happily made a V gesture in his heart.
The two made an appointment, and Chen Qudong left.
Lin Qing was about to turn a corner when he bumped into Lu Xiao.
"Isn't he the guy who was at the bar last time?" Lu Xiao's eyes were very good, and he pointed to Chen Qudong's figure and asked.
Lin Qing exclaimed: "Your memory is really good. ”
She wanted to compliment, but it was strange to say it.
Lu Xiao asked meaningfully: "Does your husband know that you are okay to meet this man?" ”
Lin Qing is not used to calling the senior this man.
In her opinion, Chen Qudong is the senior she respects, and the relationship is also very simple.
So she smiled: "I know." ”
After speaking, she dragged Lu Xiao to the company.
When it was time to get off work, Chen Qudong appeared downstairs in the company on time, and when Lin Qing stepped forward to say hello, his colleagues began to whisper again.
"If you meet with other men so soon, and dare to come to the company to pick you up blatantly, aren't you afraid that Captain Mu will know?" One of the female colleagues covered her mouth and whispered.
The other person was very disdainful: "I see, it won't be long before Commander Mu will be able to see her true face and dump her!" ”
They were very happy to talk, because they were standing on the edge of the hall with their backs to Lin Qing, and they didn't notice that Lin Qing was walking behind them at this time.
"Senior, I've kept you waiting." Lin Qing's tone was neither ambiguous nor alienating.
The two colleagues who chewed their tongues trembled when they heard Lin Qing's voice coming from above their heads.
Turning his head slowly, Lin Qing was standing not far behind them.
Hearing Lin Qing call the senior again, the faces of the two of them were red and white, and they shut up and slipped away.
"Why are you so polite?" Chen Qudong was about to rub Lin Qing's hair as he spoke, but Lin Qing gently avoided him.
Lin Qing smiled: "Since you are a senior, you still have to have the politeness you should have." ”
Chen Qudong didn't want to say anything.
The Sichuan restaurant was full of people, but fortunately, Chen Qudong booked a place in advance.
"I didn't expect business here to be so good." Lin Qing sighed.
The waiter ushered them into a private room.
Lin Qing stood at the door of the private room and stopped.
Booking a private room, a little expensive.
Chen Qudong didn't care and made a gesture of please.
Lin Qing had no choice but to be respectful rather than obey.
During the banquet, Lin Qing saw that Chen Qudong was rarely in a good mood, so he did not mention Liang Ruoyi's matter.
Chen Qudong greeted her with warmth and concern, which made her a little uncomfortable.
"Senior, is there anything good about you? See you're in a good mood. ”
Chen Qudong winked at her, but did not explain: "When it succeeds, I will tell you." ”
Looking at his mysterious expression, Lin Qing was puzzled in his heart for a while.
On the way back after eating, Lin Qing always felt that the senior had something to say.
It's just that when he got downstairs, Chen Qudong didn't speak.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Lin Qing said goodbye to him: "Senior, the elevator has arrived, then I will go back." ”
Ding, the elevator arrived.
Lin Qing was about to ride, but was pulled back by Chen Qudong, who was silent for a moment: "Lin Qing." ”
Lin Qing turned around: "Senior, are you okay?" ”
Chen Qudong hesitated a little, and said intermittently: "I, I have something to say to you." ”
Lin Qing stood there quietly and listened.
Looking at by those clear eyes, Chen Qudong was a little nervous.
A thin layer of sweat broke out in the palms of his hands, and the hand that grabbed Lin Qing's arm was even harder.
In the empty hall at half past ten in the middle of the night, I couldn't hear the slightest noise.
There is only silence.
Such tranquility made Chen Qudong very flustered.
He tried to make his tone sound normal, so he cleared his throat, and whoever tried to open his mouth was out of control, but his voice was amplified several times more uncontrollably.
"I like you!"
The abrupt voice echoed in the hall on the first floor, and Lin Qing was a little stunned, and his eyes widened slightly.
"Lin Qing, the person I like is you." Chen Qudong said again.
This time, his mood was high, but his tone was much more normal.
Lin Qing waited for a long time, and saw that Chen Qudong didn't say any more.
She stared at Chen Qudong and looked at it carefully, as if she was a little worried: "Senior...... Isn't it April Fool's Day? ”
It turned out that she just took Chen Qudong's confession to her as a joke.
Chen Qudong was very frustrated.
Although he was a senior girl who had known him for almost ten years, at this moment, when he stood in front of Lin Qing and said this, his heart was beating faster than ever.
Especially the urge to hug Lin Qing made him suppress it for a long time.
"I'm not kidding." Chen Qudong had no choice but to explain, "Lin Qing, I'm in love with you." ”
Lin Qing was still confused, and smiled slightly: "Senior, did you drink some wine just now and get a little dizzy?" ”
She rounded the show for this joke.
Chen Qudong, who was misunderstood, had no choice but to take a step forward and stare at Lin Qing closely.
This affectionate look almost saw through Lin Qing.
His voice also became more serious: "Lin Qing, I'm serious. Actually, I know your feelings for me, but I don't understand my heart until now, it turns out that I have always loved you. ”
This sentence made Lin Qing stunned.
She had a crush on her for so long, but she never responded to her feelings, and finally married someone else's senior-
Actually in love with her?
It sounds like the most ridiculous thing to do.
It's quiet all around.
The elevator door closed again.
The number on the sign stops at the 1 position, bright red and glaring.
Lin Qing tried to calm herself, but she couldn't.
It's not that Chen Qudong is excited because he loves her, it's just that it all came too late.
It's like they bought the wrong show, Lin Qing has already withdrawn, but Chen Qudong rushed in with the ticket in his hand.
All that was left was a quick glimpse of what was missed.
"That, senior," Lin Qing, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Thank you for telling me this, it's just that I can't accept the senior's feelings." ”
Chen Qudong's whole body stiffened: "Why? ”
Lin Qing smiled.
Isn't the answer obvious?
"Because of Mu Li?" Chen Qudong spoke first.
Lin Qing nodded seriously and solemnly.
Sure enough, it was him.
Chen Qudong could not accept this reason.
"Lin Qing, I hope you can think about it, after all, I am the person you have loved for so many years."
Lin Qing was silent.
Yes, she has loved Chen Qudong for many years, how did she spend all those times?
Lin Qing tried his best to think about it, but he couldn't think of it.
The memory of Chen Qudong is too far away.
Just a few months ago, she was not married to Chen Qudong.
And now, she has started a family, has someone she truly loves, and lives a happy life.
No one can say for sure what is going on in this world.
For her, it was enough for now.
Thinking of this, Lin Qing's eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.
"Lin Qing!" Her distraction made Chen Qudong unbearable.
Chen Qudong grabbed her shoulders tightly, for fear that she would escape, and didn't care about being in a public place: "Can't you give me another chance?" ”
Only then did Lin Qing understand that Chen Qudong was serious.
She was stunned, and looked up at Chen Qudong, the face that had been hidden in the corner and secretly looked at it thousands of times.
"Senior......
Chen Qudong's hands pressed more and more forcefully on her shoulders, and there was a pain.
"Can't you?" He took a step forward.
Lin Qing frowned slightly, tears bursting out of his eyes.
"I'm sorry...... Senior. She sobbed quietly, and quietly, lightly, word for word.
Because I once cherished it, I must now seriously refuse it.
Chen Qudong refused to let go.
"Lin Qing, I know that you feel very happy with Mu Li now. But—"
Lin Qing listened quietly.
"—you'll regret it."
Chen Qudong's tone became more and more ruthless, making Lin Qing tremble.
"Senior ......" Lin Qing raised his head, his eyes becoming firm, "I won't regret it." I know very well that I love Mu Li, and he is the only one who loves him so much. I'll be with him. ”
Chen Qudong's expression was erratic.
Lin Qing added: "In my life, I only love him. ”
As she spoke, she took Chen Qudong's hand off her shoulder and took a step back.
"So I can't respond to my feelings for seniors."
Those clear pupils were still glowing with shallow tears.
Chen Qudong clenched his fists.
At this moment, the elevator door opened.
Someone walked down from above, saw the two people facing them, looked at them with some confusion, and walked past them.
Lin Qing, who stopped sobbing, walked up to the elevator at this time and pressed the close button.
She said firmly and decisively to Chen Qudong, who was standing outside the elevator: "He and I will be happy." ”
Chen Qudong stood in place, watching the elevator door slowly close.
"Lin Qing, he doesn't love you at all!" The moment the elevator was completely closed, Chen Qudong shouted at Lin Qing.
The man who had not yet walked out of the hall shook his head sympathetically when he heard the voice.
With a sigh, the man walked out.
Today's young people talk about love vigorously-
But after all, they got nothing.
Lin Qing, who was standing in the elevator, heard those words, and his whole body shook.
Somehow, she had a very disturbing thought that kept swirling in her mind.
The voice repeated endlessly: "Does Mu Li really love you?" ”
Definitely, it's true.
Lin Qing pretended to be calm and pressed the button on the floor.
