Chapter 8 feast, cake, knife

After all, Tianchi failed to meet Wu Zhou.All she saw was Pei Linglong. Linglong's clothes are luxurious and generous, her makeup is impeccable, her manners are noble, her words are elegant, and she lives up to her name.She has always been good at calculating, and after arriving in London, she learned the depth of the British city, and she was more organized and ostentatious in her work.As soon as he returned to China, he gathered countless guests in the shortest possible time, booked a luxury hotel, and held a banquet for Tianchi to celebrate.Chen'er, Xu Feng, Cheng Zhifang, Wu Zhou's parents, Chen'er's parents, and even Walnut were all guests at the meeting, but there was no Wu Zhou.

According to Pei Linglong's intention, he originally wanted to invite all Qi Lu's family, but Cheng Zhifang insisted on not agreeing, and only asked Chen'er to bring his parents, and Lu Yue was never allowed to show up.This time Chen'er didn't insist, she had a faint premonition that there was no good medicine in Pei Linglong's gourd, and she didn't want her brother to come to this muddy water.They didn't know that Tianchi and Lu Yue had already had contacts in private.Hearing that Pei Linglong was bragging about the rich collection of the British Museum to everyone, Chen'er couldn't help it, and said coldly, "It's not all stolen by tyranny." Pei Linglong was taken aback for a moment, not daring to underestimate this weak woman , I didn't expect that she looks sweet like a flower, but she has thorns.

This is the first time for Mother Lu to meet her former daughter-in-law since she woke up from Tianchi. She held her hand and was reluctant to let go. , old tears. Tianchi remembered that this was Chen'er's mother, but he didn't remember that she was also his mother-in-law at the same time, he was a little at a loss for Lu's mother's exaggerated emotion, and said in embarrassment: "Lu's mother, hello, thank you, I'm sorry... "The words are not expressive. Fortunately, Chen'er came to rescue her, pulled her mother's hand away and said, "Really, you forgot to kiss your daughter after seeing a goddaughter, and you're not acting in a long-form TV series, so you need to be so sensational?"

Mother Lu laughed back angrily, and scolded her daughter, "Is there anyone who teases my mother like that? This is an unfilial girl." Then she secretly asked her daughter and son-in-law for information, "Who is this Miss Pei? Tianchi is so close to us, it's up to others Come to hold a celebration banquet, and we have become guests instead?" Chen'er blamed her mother: "Really, you are so careful when you invite you to eat, and you said it's because you watched too many TV dramas, thinking wildly." She was very vigilant in her heart, guarding Tianchi step by step, and exchanged glances with Xu Feng from time to time.

Even Cheng Zhifang was a little uneasy, and said pensively: "I always feel that today is a grand feast, and I won't be surprised if this slick Miss Pei Linglong suddenly throws a bomb." However, what the waiter pushed out from the back kitchen was nothing but a big cake.Linglong pulled Tianchi lightly, then pulled away from Chen'er, stood in front of the cake cart and said with a smile on her face: "Sister Tianchi, I am so happy to hear the news of your recovery, and I came back from England to help you Blessings. I didn't know what to give as a gift, and I was in a hurry, so I bought this cake, it's a celebration."

It was a nine-tiered wedding cake, so pompous and pompous.However, Pei Linglong explained: "This cake is exactly the same as the one I had when Wu Zhou and I had our wedding, and it was also made to order in the same cake shop. Without you, Wu Zhou and I would not be where we are today , there won’t be our late wedding. So, I send you this cake, one is to celebrate your waking up, and the other is to thank you for your kindness to me. But people say 'thank you for your kindness', so, words It's all in the cake." The words are in the cake.There is no Tianchi to say, what can be said.

What's more, Tianchi has never been an eloquent person. She could only take the knife passively, and under Linglong's instructions, she cut deeply through the middle of the cake like a puppet, as if cutting through her own body, cutting off the past and the future; Cowherd and Weaver Girl, heaven and earth.Her elder brother Wu Zhou has stayed at the other end of the Tianhe River since then, never seeing each other again. Tianchi was cutting the cake with a knife, but Pei Linglong was precisely the sharp knife wrapped in sweet cake.When she handed the knife to Tianchi, she was caught off guard and stabbed tens of thousands of knives in her body and heart.

Chen'er couldn't help sneering again, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's the weasel who gave the chicken New Year's greetings, and has no good intentions." But Xu Feng said kindly: "It's hard for her. After all, it's to protect my marriage. Even if it's exaggerated, it's not too much." Chen'er scorned: "She is not for marriage, she is simply a Rebecca." Walnut is curious: "What is Rebecca?" Chen'er simply explained: "Rebecca is a woman, she hopes to be loved by men all over the world, but she doesn't love anyone."

Walnut stared: "How wonderful that is." She admired Pei Linglong very much, she was so beautifully dressed, and her hands were so generous, especially the big cake she rolled out, oh my god, this is the first time Walnut has seen such a big and beautiful cake Cake, eyes fixed on it, wishing to jump in, almost drooling: "Hey, such a big cake, let alone eat it, I've never seen it before." Chen'er couldn't help laughing, and said to her: "Tell the kitchen, I'll pack everything you can't finish and take it home, let you eat slowly, okay?" Holding the knife, Tianchi felt that she was riddled with wounds, and that her unknown and forbearing love was bloody exposed in front of everyone.

The pain was so familiar that it was like lightning piercing the night sky. At the moment when the knife cut the cake, it clearly and neatly cut the hard shell wrapped around the core of her memory, making her remember it completely—— Yes, this is exactly the same as the cake at Wu Zhou's wedding. She remembered, remembered.Remember every detail that happened between me and Wu Zhou, every past event, every sentence, every look in my eyes, remember all the love and all the pain.She couldn't help but groan softly. The voice was so weak, but it was still captured by Cheng Zhifang, who immediately asked nervously: "Tianchi, are you okay?"

Tianchi looked back sadly, in her eyes, there was such heavy pain and despair, as cold as a deep pool.Cheng Zhifang couldn't help but mourn, he knew that she had already remembered, remembered everything, and she became the injured Ji Tianchi who had been frozen for hundreds of years again. I remember that when Lu Yue talked about Tianchi to him, he once said that he didn't like her name - "It's too cold, too proud, and completely disdain to associate with the world. It won't work." But that was indeed Ji Tianchi, aloof and glamorous, independent of the world.She suppressed her feelings and refused to express them, she blocked her emotions from showing them, she closed herself to everyone except Chen'er, and responded to all changes with a friendly expression. The billowing red dust is out of sight.Little did he know, it was her too cold and guarded eyes that betrayed her, allowing him to see through her loneliness and longing—longing for understanding, longing for love. Cheng Zhifang felt sad, the double sorrow of being a psychiatrist and a prospective boyfriend: he could guess her sadness, but he couldn't get her favor.If so, it would be better not to know at all.He took a step forward, held Tianchi's hand, and whispered softly in her ear: "Just remember it, just remember it." His voice was so gentle and intimate, which made Tianchi feel sad for a while.She looked back at him, eyes blurred.Everything she has done for Wu Zhou is what Cheng Zhifang is doing for her now.Do unto others, do not impose on others.Does she still remember the sadness that Wu Zhou once brought her? What she thought, Pei Linglong was the first to say it for her, more provocative, more exaggerated, and more radical: "Doctor Cheng, we met again. I read the report that Tianchi can wake up again, thanks to you You have become the urban myth of this century. Such a great love is so shocking, it is no wonder that you can create miracles. It really moves us ordinary people. When are you going to have a happy event? You must let me know when the date is set. " Tianchi became more and more passive, and couldn't help taking a step back, as if avoiding the invisible sword.It's another sugar-coated cannonball wrapped in a cake, she is almost impossible to guard against, and there is no way to avoid it. Lu's parents all looked at Cheng Zhifang, and the feeling of common hatred and hatred was palpable: "Are you going to get married?" "This..." Cheng Zhifang was speechless. At this moment, there was a small commotion in the crowd. It turned out that it was Wu Zhou who pushed the door in and walked out without looking at Pei Linglong, walking straight to Tianchi. Tianchi was struck by lightning the very first moment Eye Wind came into contact with him, their gazes collided in the air, causing stars to fly and sparks to fly everywhere.She looked at him, and the past and present images of him intertwined and overlapped, for a moment she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and didn't know sorrow and joy. They hadn't had time to say a word, but the vibrating air between them told everyone around that something big had happened. "Tianchi, I'll take you away." He whispered, as if he was afraid of startling the sleeping Snow White. "Brother Wu Zhou..." Tianchi immediately choked up, and tears welled up, drowning her words behind.The dream that haunted her for a long time during her coma suddenly came to her mind. In the dream, a man said to her: "I'll go with you, we will die together." We die together.Does that "we" refer to myself and Wu Zhou? In the dream, her answer was: "I love you. I would die a thousand times for you." She had indeed died for Wu Zhou once, and now, he finally came to her, willing to live and die with her, she finally got the answer she had been looking forward to for more than ten years, why was she still hesitating?She obediently handed her hand to Wu Zhou, as if bewitched, as if listening to the decree of the gods. From now on, she is more willing to follow her everywhere, like glue, to the ends of the world, and never look back! However, a sound from the real world woke her up from her dream: "I can't go!" It was Pei Linglong, her gorgeous makeup couldn't hide the pain of her injuries, she looked at her husband with a livid face, and also at this "love-winning" little girl, almost gnashing her teeth: "Tianchi, where are you going?" "I don't know..." Tianchi said in a daze, looking at Wu Zhou in confusion, waiting for his guidance. "Tianchi, follow me." Wu Zhou took Tianchi's hand and left. Cheng Zhifang followed instinctively, but gave up.He is not qualified to stop Wu Zhou, the only one who can decide to follow is Tianchi himself.When she remembered the past, she was free, and he could no longer act as her psychiatrist and protector. And Tianchi, how could he not follow?This is her elder brother Wu Zhou, the god she worshiped since she was a child. She once exchanged her own life for his awakening. She will live forever. She only obeys him. As long as he is willing to take her away, no one can stop her. . But Pei Linglong wanted to stop her, she couldn't just watch Ji Tianchi take her husband away.She rushed back from the UK to fight this marriage defense battle with the determination that she would rather die than lose.Ji Tianchi, the lingering girl next door, from the first day she saw her, she knew that she was not an easy girl.But she never regarded her as an opponent. She didn't have her own beauty and intelligence, she didn't have her own wealth and degree, and she didn't have her own scheming methods. It wasn't until that year that she came back from England to hold a make-up wedding with Wu Zhou that she looked at Tianchi squarely for the first time and realized that her weight to Wu Zhou was no longer as ordinary as before.Wu Zhou didn't know about Tianchi's care for him this year, but Pei Linglong knew that every time she took a long-distance trip across the ocean to return to China, Tianchi always took care of her.She already knew that Tianchi was not easy to Wu Zhou, but she chose to ask Tianchi to be her bridesmaid to witness her marriage, just to ask her to forbid her to retreat.She fought a very good battle and successfully flew to England with Wu Zhou. I thought that Tianchi would grow up day by day, have his own marriage and family, and forget the youthfulness of his first love.However, she never expected that a serious illness caused by accidents caused her to become the little sister next door after waking up, and possessed more willful qualifications and attractions than when she was a little sister. When Wu Zhou proposed a divorce, Linglong held back her anger and did not burst out, but quietly proposed that she could meet Tianchi before he met with Tianchi.Wu Zhou agreed, but he would never have imagined that the "meeting" arranged by his wife would be so grand that it would almost be announced to the world; and Linglong never expected that her husband would follow her and spoil the well-planned event she had carefully directed. play. Pei Linglong lost her composure due to anger, and lost her color due to fear. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pulled Tianchi away from Wu Zhou's side, screaming: "If you don't speak clearly, no one will leave!" Tianchi was terrified, the sudden memory and the ever-changing reality made her be at a loss like a lost child, Zhasa raised her hand and instinctively called to Wu Zhou: "Brother Wu Zhou..." "Ji Tianchi, stop pretending!" Pei Linglong tore off all the disguise first, tore off the elegant conversation and elegant attitude, and cursed angrily, "Ji Tianchi, stop pretending to be crazy here! You will pretend to be pitiful, pestering Wu Zhou's elder brother to pretend to be cute; now you are still so shameless, your husband can't stand it, so you go to grab someone else's husband! Are you still shameless?" "Pei Linglong, shut up!" Wu Zhou grabbed his wife and swung his palm violently, but couldn't bear to hit her.Beating a wife is something that the most worthless man would do, and it is an act that he is not ashamed of.However, facing Sapo's wife, he has nothing to do except beat her. And Linglong's face was full of tears, and she was crying: "You hit me? You want to hit me? Wu Zhou, do you still have a conscience? One year after you died, who sent you money and medicine forever? It’s so easy for you to wake up without any ability. Didn’t I rush back from England to marry you? It’s better for you to half-heartedly treat an unwanted illegitimate child as a treasure! What kind of thing is she? Parents have no mother, her background is wrong, she grows up and messes around, she is married, but divorced within three days, lying in a hospital bed is restless, and she has to hire a psychiatrist to run around for her , do you think she is an innocent girl? She is simply a vixen..." With a "pop", Pei Linglong's messy crying and cursing was interrupted.After all, Wu Zhou still made a move, after all, he slapped him heavily.Pei Linglong overturned on the cake trolley, causing a thud of ping-pong-pong, and even alarmed the screams in the hall. The faces of Wu Zhou's parents changed drastically. Qi Qi grabbed his son's arms from left to right, and shouted, "Don't hit anyone!" Chen'er and Cheng Zhifang protected Tianchi from left to right, pointed at Pei Linglong and shouted: "Don't curse!" And Tianchi has already stayed, and he was married?Is it someone's wife?Whose wife is she?And why divorce? Standing in front of the public, she felt as if she was walking in the jungle on a moonlit night, with the sound of the wind and trees in her ears, and the surroundings were dark, and there were hints and omens hidden behind every grotesque protrusion, with endless possibilities. The past of her life is like this, with endless possibilities.She longed to illuminate them one by one and see them clearly, but she was afraid that what she saw was not what she thought she was.Maybe she was a bad girl, killed someone before, or did some other wrong thing, so she was abandoned by her parents and her husband, or maybe she had a lover, or even a child... who knows? Her newly awakened mind was instantly destroyed by the successive blows. With tears in her eyes, she couldn't see any color, couldn't hear any sound, but felt numbly that someone had grabbed her hand, as if to take her away.Yes, let's go, go as far away as possible, stay away from these people and these things, and never come back. The person holding Tianchi was Wu Zhou, and he announced to everyone proudly: "I want to take Tianchi away, and don't let her suffer any harm! No one wants to stop us!" Chen'er and Cheng Zhifang originally wanted to stop in front, but when they heard this, they couldn't help but take a step back and let them go.In Chen'er, he was sincerely moved. Sister Ji loved Wu Zhou for almost half her life. Now that he is finally willing to bear her, accompany her, and let her get what she wants, how can he bear to stop him? In Cheng Zhifang, it pales in comparison. He is not familiar with Wu Zhou, and the total number of times he has met does not exceed five times, but for some reason, as soon as Wu Zhou appears, he feels like an outsider, and suddenly he is far away from Tianchi. It's so far away, it's as far as the sky.Moreover, when Tianchi saw Wu Zhou, the sudden brilliance made him feel ashamed—now he is doubly inferior, and he found a good reason for himself: Wu Zhou and Tianchi grew up together, He occupied her whole heart and dreams, he said he wanted to take her away, how could he stop, and how could he stop? The person to stop was still Pei Linglong.Linglong is unwilling to give up. In Pei's dictionary, there is absolutely no word for "lose".Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken, and the jade is destroyed, she will not let herself withdraw and watch others win. "Wu Zhou, if you dare to take a step, I'll show you!" Pei Linglong got up from the pile of cakes in embarrassment, holding the knife for cutting the cake in her right hand, resting it on her left wrist and pressing down hard, blood oozes slightly, a drop It dripped on the white cake and was quickly absorbed by the cream. "Linglong, don't!" Aunt Wu couldn't help the excitement and screamed. After all, this is her daughter-in-law. After all, she has called her mother for so many years.She hugged her daughter-in-law, but turned her face towards her son, crying and shouting: "Zhou, are you going to force your wife to death, or your mother?" This cry woke up Tianchi, she was shocked, looking at Aunt Wu's teary face, her thoughts were blurred and confused, why did Mama Wu cry?What is Pei Linglong doing with the knife?Is she going to kill herself?Because he robbed her husband?Who is your husband?Who are the parents?What kind of girl are you?Why did the congregation desert their relatives? She hated herself for not being able to remember those pasts, and hated those pasts she could remember even more.The past is like a giant beast, the more you think about it, the more you will devour yourself. When the memory is fully recovered, maybe you will have no bones left.The pain in his chest was tearing apart, and his mind seemed to be trampled by thousands of troops.She looked blankly at everyone in the room, no, she can't go with brother Wu Zhou, he is someone else's son, someone else's husband, he is a good man, and he can't get involved with a bad woman like herself.In this room, everyone is inextricably linked to everyone, and only you are redundant, redundant, an outcast, abandoned by the world, abandoned by your parents, abandoned by your husband, even Even I once gave up on myself and fell into a deep sleep for two years! If I knew this earlier, why bother to wake up?Why wake up! In the confusion, she heard Pei Linglong flying a sharper knife at her: "Ji Tianchi, in front of your parents-in-law, in front of Dr. Cheng, and in front of me, you dare to seduce Wu Zhou, how dare you seduce Wu Zhou?" Do you still want to be shameless?..." In-laws?Not only do you have a husband, but you also have in-laws? Ji Tianchi sighed, suddenly fell on his back, and passed out amidst the exclamation of everyone. The hall was suddenly filled with an aura of death... The boundless wilderness, the lonely soul without an owner, and countless voices. When Tianchi woke up for the first time, the room was crowded with people, but she just said: "I really want to sleep." Then she closed her eyes again. In the dream, there were countless figures dangling in front of her like a revolving lantern, some related to her, some not related to her.There was even a handsome man talking to her: "I am a normal man with a heart, feelings, and impulses. I am still young, how can I not be fascinated by beauty? Those models are all tall and fit , dressed less, passionate, and romantic, which photographer has not played a romance once or twice? Some people are old, dozens of years old, and they acted in Madison Bridge. Is it regarded as a classic? Why should I be accused of heinous crimes when I make a little mistake? Who in this world is an innocent boy and an ignorant girl? Aren’t you still deeply in love with the surname Wu, is it fair to me? " It was as if sea water was coming up, wrapping her heavily.Tianchi had a splitting headache and tossed and turned. Nothing is easier than forgetting and nothing is more painful than remembering. Waves, boundless waves; strong winds, overwhelming winds; a woman led a little boy in the sea, and waved gently to Tianchi, Tianchi couldn't help but walk over to the sea... Tianchi couldn't help moaning in his dream.It was already dusk when she woke up again, everyone dispersed, only Chen'er was by her side.As soon as she turned around, Chen'er woke up, rolled over and got up, and asked with concern: "Is it better? Do you want to drink water?" His face was full of anxiety and worry. Tianchi smiled weakly and said, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to sleep again?" Chen'er smiled and said, "How come?" However, he let out a long breath. Tianchi closed his eyes for a while, and memories came up little by little, celebration banquet, cake, Pei Linglong, brother Wu Zhou, knife... Linglong's words are like throwing knives: "What is she? She has no father or mother since she was a child, she came from a bad life, she grew up messing around, she is married, and divorced within three days, lying in a hospital bed She's not safe at work, and she has to hire a psychiatrist to help her, do you think she's an innocent girl? She's a vixen at all..." vixen.Pei Linglong actually gave herself such a title.Aren't the legendary vixens all charming and powerful?Who is so clumsy and useless as she is?Not only can't predict the future, but even his own past is unclear. Tianchi sighed: "Chen'er, I was married once, I was married once. Is that right?" Chen'er took a deep breath before he dared to answer: "Yes, sister Ji, you were married before." "Who is he? The man who was my husband, have I seen him again? Why doesn't he come to me?" "It's my brother." "Your brother?" "Yes, that's the lamppost man who stands guard downstairs every day. He's my brother. You got your marriage certificate and took wedding photos. I'm the bridesmaid and Cheng Zhifang is the best man. Even the new house has been decorated, but, The wedding was postponed before it could be held, and later, a series of things happened, and you got divorced again." Married, divorced, Tianchi held his head, feeling pain like thunder inside, Chen'er's brother, isn't that Lu Yue?No wonder it hurts every time I see him, no wonder holding his hand feels like an electric shock, it turns out that they used to be skin to skin and connected with each other.She always felt that she had a past with him, but she never thought that it would be such a past!She actually married him, took wedding photos, and even decorated the new house.However, they divorced again.What happened?Why Are Marriages So Short?What terrible past happened? She originally thought that Wu Zhou was the only one in her past, and she missed the first half of her life because of her secret love, so she always longed to wake up in her dream, longing for a true love.It was this longing that kept her awake.But it turned out that she had not only been in love, but also married and divorced.She is not only an abandoned child, but also an abandoned wife.What kind of terrible woman is she?How much past does she have? Tianchi burst into tears, hugged his shoulders and curled up into a ball, crying. Chen'er panicked, did she stimulate Tianchi?Did she do something wrong?What are the consequences? She frantically called Cheng Zhifang, speaking incoherently: "Old Cheng, come quickly, sister Ji woke up, I, I told her about her marriage, she, she..." Cheng Zhifang's shock was no small matter, and he shouted: "Lu Chen'er, tell me slowly, what happened? What happened to Tianchi?" "She's crying, crying very hard, come back soon." Cheng Zhifang heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh again, what should have been cheated has finally been cheated, the worst thing has happened, what else is there to be afraid of?Now, it is time for him to face Tianchi and reality. He didn't rush over there, but picked up his cell phone and dialed Lu Yue...
