Chapter 177 5 minute
Mi Bei sat on the sofa in Deng Qing's room, thinking about the scene over and over again.
After she finished singing, she drank alone. He also drank with her, but they were drinking from a distance.
It was not until other men started chatting her up in a short period of time that he felt that his control, which had been built up layer by layer, was a joke.
He lost his calmness and could not sit still. When he finally tried to stand up, Deng Qing stopped him.
Deng Qing: "Take another look!"
"Are you going to test her again?" Mi Bei raised his tone, frowning.
"No! You are a man who values women over friendship. Who do you think I am? Now, we have to trust her. She will not be in danger as long as we are here," Deng Qing said, "but if you go down now, are you trying to be a hero and save the beauty, or will you let her feel embarrassed that you saw her in such a plight? Today is her birthday."
Mi Bei sat down, with mixed emotions, his eyes not relaxing at all.
Sure enough, Zhuge Qinuo lived up to expectations and broke free from all the entanglements and escaped.
As her figure went away, Mi Bei quickly stood up. Deng Qing stopped him again: "Now, I advise you not to go. She is drunk and you are so excited. What do you want to happen?"
Mi Bei just stopped for a moment and continued to chase after him.
Well, he didn't want to endure it anymore. What was wrong with something happening?
Zhuge Qinuo did not notice Mi Bei behind him.
Mi Bei looked at her lonely and stubborn back, and when she got very close, he began to hesitate whether to go forward.
He hesitated at the door for a long time until she entered the room.
In the end, he gave up.
"Don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive." He told himself over and over again.
After returning to his room, Mi Bei took a few bags of things and asked Deng Qing to deliver them to Zhuge Qinuo.
"Let's chat!" Deng Qing spoke up.
"What are you talking about?"
Deng Qing: "You're asking even though you already know the answer. Her."
"It's not a good idea for two grown men to talk about a woman." Mi Bei didn't want to talk.
"It's okay if we don't talk. I'll talk and you'll listen." Deng Qing was very considerate. "First of all, she and I are very pure! In your eyes, the things we did before were not sincere. She was just acting."
"I know." Mi Bei recalled their conversation in the car that night. In fact, they had already given him the answer clearly.
Deng Qing: "Zhuge is very insightful. It's because she thinks too much that she has too many concerns. But whether it's the kind of love between men and women, I think, for her, the difference is still very obvious."
"If she had given me any sign that there might be something going on between us, I would have lost control and done something reckless."
This was Deng Qing's formal acknowledgement of his feelings for Zhuge Qinuo.
It turns out that they have always been "rivals in love". Mi Bei smiled and said, "You have deceived too many people, including me."
But obviously, one of these two men will fail, and the one who fails is Deng Qing.
Mi Bei was somewhat happy: "I want to know how you were rejected."
"Have you understood the point?" Deng Qing was annoyed by Mi Bei's unconventional thinking. "It's not really a rejection. I haven't even opened my mouth yet and she's already playing nice."
Mibei: “How did you send it?”
Deng Qing: "To sum it up, she said that what I like is her ability to move freely in and out of this circle without any burden, and that I haven't been in contact with normal people for too long."
"I reflected on it for a long time. Indeed, she was right. My love was not pure. No, it should be said that it was too pure. I really only thought about love between men and women and didn't think too much. Perhaps, compared to her desire for a long-lasting relationship, someone like me is at most just a love object."
"But obviously, she had no idea about me at all and didn't even give me a place in a relationship."
"She is right. Your mentality is irresponsible and immature." Mi Bei commented, using Zhuge Qinuo's tone.
"I'm immature? You're mature? You don't even know what you want. If you like someone, chase them and try your best. At worst, you'll end up being treated like a nice guy like me. If you don't like them, or haven't thought about the future, or have any concerns, then adjust your attitude. It's been more than a year, and you..."
Mi Bei interrupted: "What's wrong with me? I'm normal too."
Deng Qing: "Yes, you are working normally, you should be happy. But you are different now, Mibei. Don't you feel it yourself? You were really heartless before. I can only say that you have grown up and have more things to think about, but you are not really happy. What are the reasons for your changes? Or are you trying to prove something?"
"People always have to grow." After listening to Deng Qing's evaluation, Mi Bei was actually relieved that his efforts paid off.
"Look, you don't say anything in your heart. It's really boring to talk to you now, just be happy." Deng Qing blamed him, but he already had the answer in his heart. He believed that Mi Bei could understand his intention.
After the conversation, Mi Bei was bound to toss and turn when he returned to his room. But it was just toss and turn, nothing more, Mi Bei decided not to show up and let everything remain the same.
There really would have been no further consequences if Deng Qing hadn't made things so outrageous.
Although it was Deng Qing, he still felt unhappy when various news about him and Zhuge Qinuo in the restaurant were exposed on the Internet. Perhaps now this feeling can be clearly defined - jealousy.
I knew they were acting, just like before, I knew it was all fake. The suppressed emotions took effect under the combined attack of possessiveness and unwillingness.
He was greedy again and changed his mind again. He didn't care about so much, he wanted to appear in front of her, bring his gifts and tricks to appear in front of her, the kind that she couldn't ignore or escape.
Yes, now he did it, but he felt that he was impulsive again.
Recalling the strangeness in the familiarity that belonged to them, and the naturalness in the strangeness. In the empty present, he breathed a sigh of relief, like a deflated ball, slumped on the sofa, and counted his indulgence and ridiculousness. Fighting desperately, preparing carefully, taking greedy steps forward again and again, just for these ten minutes with her? No result, no answer, just for 168 minutes in the 15 hours and minutes of her cruise. He felt that he was terribly crazy.
Apart from disrupting the balance between them that they had finally found and relieving their longing for each other, these willful 15 minutes served no other purpose.
Because apart from these 15 minutes, what ability does he have now to give her the man she wants and the life she wants?
Mi Bei felt that he was wrong. So from the moment her back disappeared from his sight, after he had calmly thought about it, he was ready to continue to be his idol and be a qualified tool man. To experience and grow.
This was the answer she had given him a long time ago, and it was also the better choice for both of them at the moment.
