Chapter 16(2/6)
"I know this question needs to be given time to think about it. It is a very important decision. It needs to subvert your past life and leave the familiar environment. This is a challenge for anyone. But as long as you want, everything can be overcome. Language, environment, friends, and work can be overcome. I am here, as long as you are willing to come. Everyone here will welcome you, and my parents are happy to see you as long as you are willing."
After putting down the phone, Li Chengxiu's mood could not calm down for a long time.
He felt that his life was once again subverted.
Li Shuo promised to give him time to think carefully, but at the same time asked him to hand over the ID to his assistant and apply for a visa.
Li Shuo's original words were: "You can think carefully about the visa period during this period, even before boarding the plane, you can regret it, but I really hope to hug you in the United States in two months."
Li Chengxiu knew clearly that if he didn't go, he would completely let Li Shuo down, and the between them would end here.
But it is not easy to ask him, a man in his thirties, to go to a completely unfamiliar country, pick up English that he had not touched for more than ten years, and start a new life again?
If he was only a teenage or twenty years old, it would be an exciting challenge, but at his age, it would be an adventure.
He has neither good education nor language skills. Did he rely on Li Shuo when he came to the United States? What did he become?
In China, even if he has no relatives and friends, at least he is familiar with everything here, and he can find a job to make a living and will not let himself fall into anxiety.
Li Chengxiu really didn't want to go in his heart.
He is not a brave person, and he dares not make changes without authorization. He is such a useless person and has not gained a foothold in this city for ten years. How can he talk about a foreign country?
But Li Shuo...
Li Chengxiu was really in a dilemma.
When she was blocked by Shao Qun when she got home from get off work, Li Chengxiu was not too surprised.
It was strange that he was neither panicked nor afraid, he only knew that what he should come would always come.
It is normal for a heart to be hurt repeatedly, forming ice and unable to melt.
Shao Qun's face looked bad. He seemed to have not slept for a long time, but when he saw him, he seemed to be energetic.
When Shao Qun looked at Li Chengxiu, the emotions in his eyes seemed to be about to fill up. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Li Chengxiu spoke one step faster than him, and his tone was both cold and distant.
"Brother Li, something happened, are you?"
When Shao Qun heard this name, he immediately showed a look of stuttering.
He frowned uncomfortably, not saying yes or saying no, just looking at Li Chengxiu.
When Li Chengxiu saw his expression, she knew what was going on. She was so angry that her body shivered.
"You, how can you..."
Shao Qun knew it when he saw it so easy. The idea that he wanted to pretend was completely gone. The gangster's nature was undoubtedly revealed. He tilted his neck and said disdainfully: "It's considered light if I don't castrate him."
Li Chengxiu was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he held up a word from his teeth: "Get out."
Shao Qun was stunned for a moment, his face showed a little desolation. He lowered his head and crushed the cigarette butts on the ground with his feet, and said in a muffled voice: "He will not come back in a short time, you can break as soon as possible."
Li Chengxiu hugged the brief in his hand tightly in front of his chest, took a step back, and said in a trembling voice: "It has nothing to do with you." As he said that, he was about to pass Shao Qun and enter the building.
Shao Qun blocked in front of him, staring at him with his eyes straight, feeling that he seemed to have lost weight again and his face was not very good. He couldn't help but reach out and wanted to touch his face.
Li Chengxiu quickly took a step back.
Shao Qun's hand stopped awkwardly in the air, and finally dropped dejectedly.
He blocked Li Chengxiu from leaving, and gritted his teeth and asked a question: "What's the point of Li Shuo? Tell me, I can do what he can do."
Li Chengxiu shook her head with a cold face: "Go away."
Shao Qun held his hand on the wall aside and looked at him with some urgency: "I can do it. If you tell me, where is he capable of it? I don't believe it anymore. I will treat you better than him. Really, Cheng Xiu, he will leave after he leaves. Can we do it again?"
Li Chengxiu felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
Even if the person in front of him hurts others, he will not realize it. He will only seek it blindly and press forward to achieve his goals step by step. He can only see himself in his eyes and cannot tolerate anyone.
Whether he likes or dislikes, it seems that nothing has to do with others. He just lives according to his own thoughts, how free and happy it is. Even if he hurts others all over his body, how could he care?
Shao Qun grabbed Li Chengxiu's arm and asked Li Shuo what was better than him.
Li Chengxiu shook his hand hard and said in a cold voice: "He respects me and will not lie to me. You are not worthy of it, compare with him."
When Shao Qun heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red. He still couldn't adapt to it. How could such a gentle person in his memory say harsh words to him again and again, word by word, stabbing his heart like a knife?
He said hoarsely: "I, too, I will respect you, and I will not lie to you again. It's okay if you say anything in the future. If I want to be fooled again, I'm the fucking grandson."
These few low-profile promises were already quite difficult for Shao Qun. He was a man who was so arrogant that he was trapped by a bear with a mom man like Li Chengxiu, just as ridiculous as a tiger tribute to a rabbit. Without his jokes, it would be enough to embarrass him. But he recognized this person, even if he could knock this person out with a slap, but this person was so good that he could kill him with a word. What could he do?
But a few words that were so difficult for Shao Qun were so light that they were not worth mentioning in Li Chengxiu's ears.
He remembered how many nice things he said when he and Shao Qun first met.
He shouted at him one by one, and once claimed how much he liked him.
As a result, everything was fake. Only Shao Qun said something foolishly.
People like him cannot make mistakes again and again. He has too little, and the cost of making mistakes is too high. He is afraid of mistakes. He is really not wrong.
When Shao Qun saw his expression, he knew that he didn't believe it at all. He clenched his fists and the discomfort in his heart surged upwards.
He blocked Li Chengxiu in the corner, like a stubborn boy, and had to ask why the person who rejected him didn't like him and how to like him.
Li Chengxiu turned her face and didn't want to look at him, and whispered: "If you respect me, now, let me go home."
Shao Qun roared in a low voice: "This is your home? Ah? This is your home!" Shao Qun thought of Li Chengxiu refusing everything silently like a puppet in his house, but admitted that the place where he and Li Shuo lived was "home".
I imagine that every day he and Li Shuo lived here was as painful as his heart was, and he had to say in front of him that he wanted to return to his and Li Shuo's "home".
Li Chengxiu stared at him with alertness, protecting the briefcase in his hand tightly on his chest, like holding a life-saving shield.
Shao Qun felt that he could not use any strength. He supported Li Chengxiu with one hand, only one hand away from his face, but he didn't dare to touch him.
He was afraid of the expression of avoidance when he saw Li Chengxiu being touched by him.
Time flowed quietly, and for a moment, neither of them spoke or did not move.
Shao Qun looked at Li Chengxiu's soft hair and suddenly felt a sense of ruthlessness in his heart.
He wanted to love him and hold him in his palm. As long as he was willing to return to him, he could take out his heart to treat him as if he was good to him. What about Li Shuo and Li Shuo, he pretended to be a grandson, and he pretended to have forgotten.
But Li Chengxiu's repeated indifference and alienation are almost driving him crazy.
He was not a person who could calm down. He didn't want to scare him, but after being excited by Li Chengxiu, he felt that the violence in his body was almost uncontrollable.
He felt a lot of pain in his heart. Even though he knew that what he wanted to say would only push Li Chengxiu further, he still couldn't help but say it.
"Do you want that fake foreign devil to never return to the country for the rest of his life?"
Li Chengxiu was shocked and looked up at him in shock.
The muscles on Shao Qun's face were swelling, and his eyes were blunt: "You should break up with him, if you break up with him, I won't fucking squeeze him."
Li Chengxiu's eyes slowly turned red and she said in a trembling voice: "Shao Qun, you are, beast."
Shao Qun felt that his body had opened a big hole, and he wanted to cry because of the pain, so he endured it and showed off his strength: "Yes, I'm a fucking beast, you are all good people. You see, it's important to your little unpained relationship, or to Li Shuo's entrepreneurial efforts in China for more than ten years, you can do it yourself."
Li Chengxiu's eyes gradually became wet. He looked at Shao Qun with a blurry gaze. He could only look at him more blurry, and the more he looked, the less he recognized him.
How much does this person have to force him to stop?
He was tired of wandering and worried life. Shao Qun forced him to desperate times and now he was threatened with Li Shuo.
"Shao Qun, I don't owe you anything... why do you..." Why can't I just let me go?
Shao Qun stared at him tightly: "Yes, you don't owe me, I owe you, so give me a chance, can I compensate you well?"
Li Chengxiu lowered her head, sniffed, and didn't say anything.
Shao Qun whispered: "Cheng Xiu, I didn't want to force you, really. But, I really can't stand you being kind to him. I have never cared so much about someone in my life. What I said is true. You should share with him. I can give you what he can give you as much as he can, ah? Cheng Xiu, give me another chance, I can support you in the sky, and give me another chance."
Li Chengxiu lowered her head and said nothing.
He could clearly feel how heartbroken Li Shuo was when he called him.
His frustration and loss were so obvious, but he had to comfort him in turn.
Li Shuo is his benefactor. Can he watch the career he has worked hard to build and be ruined by Shao Qun?
Li Chengxiu felt a broken heart, and in an instant, he seemed to have all his physical strength removed, and he said hoarsely: "I will, separate from him."
Shao Qun was stunned for a moment, and a look of joy surged out of his face: "Really, Cheng Xiu, you..."
Li Chengxiu slowly pushed him away and whispered: "It will be separated... Don't make things difficult for him anymore."
At this time, Shao Qun could not hear that Li Chengxiu's tone and expression were very wrong, and he was just happy that Li Chengxiu was finally going to part with his grandson named Li.
Shao Qun couldn't help laughing: "I, don't worry, as long as you break up with him, I don't have to worry about being unable to get along with him."
Li Chengxiu glanced at him calmly: "You didn't lie to me?"
Shao Qun looked earnest and sincere: "I will not lie to you again."
Li Chengxiu nodded and turned around and walked upstairs.
Shao Qun hurriedly grabbed him: "Cheng Xiu..."
Li Chengxiu pulled her arm back: "You didn't say you should respect me, you can go."
Shao Qun was choked and couldn't speak for a moment, so he had to lower his hands dejectedly, but still asked unwillingly: "When will you move out of him?"
