After the banquet, Meng Yajing asked the servants to see off the guests. Only Song Ge and Zhai Cheng were left.
"It's so nice that you're both here today." Actually, she hoped even more that Song Ge could come as her daughter - in - law. But when Zhai Cheng introduced Song Ge just now, she knew that day was not far off.
"It's getting late. Zhai Cheng, take Song Ge home."
Song Ge wanted to decline, but she still nodded. "Then we'll take our leave."
When they went out, Song Ge immediately put some distance between herself and Zhai Cheng. "I've done what you said before. From now on, we don't have anything to do with each other."
After saying this, Song Ge walked forward on her own.
Zhai Cheng drove the car and slowly followed behind Song Ge. "My mom just said to let me take you home. If she knew we didn't, she would be angry."
Song Ge remained unmoved.
"Look around. There are no cars now. Do you want to walk back?"
Song Ge raised her eyes. It was really quite late now, and it was not easy to take a taxi. She was still wearing high heels. If she walked back, her feet would definitely hurt tomorrow.
Zhai Cheng stopped the car, and Song Ge got in. Neither of them spoke.
Song Ge just looked out of the window and sighed from time to time. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
Zhai Cheng suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and Song Ge instinctively grabbed the seatbelt and said nothing.
The accelerator was pressed to the bottom, and the car rushed forward quickly. Song Ge still said nothing.
The car stopped by the river.
The tense muscles on Song Ge's body relaxed a little.
Zhai Cheng frowned. "If you have anything unhappy, you can say it out." Actually, he stepped on the accelerator just now in order to let her vent. Who knew that she said nothing.
Hearing this, Song Ge instinctively raised her eyes and looked at him. She took back her sight after a few seconds. "I don't have anything unhappy."
Hearing this, Zhai Cheng felt sad. Because in the past, Song Ge would share with him all the small things in her life.
Suddenly, he shouted, "If you have anything, you can say it out. Only by saying it out can it be solved!"
"Do you think you can solve the problem by saying nothing like this? You can't!"
Song Ge didn't expect that Zhai Cheng would shout at her. She was stunned and looked at him.
Zhai Cheng also realized that his behavior was too excited. He took a deep breath and calmed himself. "I... I just want to say that you don't have to hold it in your heart. You'll feel better by saying it out."
The next second, Song Ge couldn't hold it in any more and cried.
Seeing her cry, Zhai Cheng's heart was twisted. He held her in his arms. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so fierce to you."
Song Ge said intermittently, "Am I a jinx? When I was with you before, you got into all kinds of troubles. I really don't want to burden you anymore."
Her voice was choked with sobs. Zhai Cheng gently patted her on the back. His eyes were full of pity.
"If it weren't for me, Leng Jing would not have known Ji Qingyun. She would not have fallen in love with Ji Qingyun. After Ji Qingyun died, she would not have been so sad for so long, and she would not have come with others to deal with you."
"Because of me, she knew Ji Qingzhen. Now they're going to get married."
Saying this, Song Ge suddenly choked with sobs and could not breathe. When she calmed down, she spoke again. "What if Leng Jing is not happy in the future? It's all because of me. Why am I so disgusting?"
She was also hitting her own body. She always thought that all the bad things that happened to the people around her were caused by her. She was an unlucky existence.
Zhai Cheng suddenly grabbed her hand. His expression was sad. "If all that you said happened, what would you do?"
Song Ge was stunned for two seconds and answered, "I'll leave. I'll reduce the trouble that I bring to you."
Zhai Cheng suddenly sneered. "Do you think that if you leave, Leng Jing's problem will be solved? Do you think that all this never happened?"
Song Ge blamed herself. She also knew that what Zhai Cheng said was reasonable. She was just escaping from reality. "I can leave after I solve Leng Jing's problem."
Like this, there should not be any bad things because of her.
"What about me?" Zhai Cheng pointed at his heart. "You stole my heart. How are you going to solve it?"
Song Ge was speechless. She did not know what to say. She just looked at Zhai Cheng blankly.
Zhai Cheng grabbed Song Ge and kissed her.
Song Ge struggled. In an emergency, she bit Zhai Cheng's tongue hard.
Zhai Cheng was in pain. He immediately let go of Song Ge. "Are you a dog?"
Song Ge felt embarrassed. "Who told you to force me?"
Zhai Cheng laughed. He covered his mouth. Then he became serious. "Song Ge, I won't allow you to leave. Even if you solve Leng Jing's problem, you still have to give me an explanation. I've also become unlucky because of you, right?"
Zhai Cheng never thought that he had suffered any misfortune because of Song Ge. He always thought that the greatest luck in his life was to meet Song Ge. But because of the current situation, he had to say so.
Song Ge lowered her head. "Okay. I'll solve all of them."
But even she herself did not know how to solve this problem.
Zhai Cheng was not so aggressive anymore. He knew that since Song Ge said so, she would keep her promise.
Neither of them spoke in the car. A stomach rumbling broke the silence.
Song Ge embarrassedly covered her stomach. She did not eat much at the banquet just now.
Zhai Cheng smiled. He started the car.
Song Ge did not care. She thought that he was going to send her home.
It was not until the car stopped that Song Ge saw the familiar store. It was a Sichuan restaurant that they often went to before. She always liked it.
Zhai Cheng opened the door, and Song Ge got out of the car.
Because they came often, the shopkeeper already knew them.
"Why haven't you come to patronize my business for so long?" The boss joked.
Song Ge did not speak. Instead, Zhai Cheng answered. "There are many things recently."
The two of them sat down and ordered some dishes casually. No one spoke.
The boss saw that the two of them had quarreled. He sent them a dish.
"We did not order this." Song Ge looked at the newly served dish doubtfully.
"I'm sending this to you. This is called husband and wife lung slices. Whether you're in love or married, when two people are together, they have to tolerate each other." The boss said meaningfully.
Song Ge and Zhai Cheng understood what he meant.
"Thank you, boss." Zhai Cheng said politely.
After the meal, the communication between the two of them was also very little. But something seemed to be slowly changing.
It was almost dawn when Zhai Cheng sent Song Ge home.
An's mother had been waiting in the living room because she was worried about Song Ge.
"Zhai Cheng sent you home?"
"Yes." Song Ge put down her bag. She knew what she was going to ask next. She said on her own initiative, "We're not reconciled. We just happened to be together because of something."
