Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 550
Chapter 550 I’m not worthy of his love (III)
Because of the slow familiarization, Meng Zi He went to Xu Xia’s cafe more diligently than before. She is still going every afternoon, Xu Xia is still singing every afternoon, gradually formed a fixed program, has always been lighter than the evening afternoon, the result is that the guests instead of nearly twice as many people come to listen to the songs of the people to the house are crowded. They ordered a cup of coffee, held it in their hands, stood by the wall, and quietly listened to Xu Xia sing.
Contrasting with the crowded scene is a corner of the pavilion, where there is a table, always with a “booked” sign, and only later did everyone realize that the reservation for that table is a beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth. They guessed that the beauty and Xu Xia must have a very close relationship, otherwise how could they always reserve a seat for her? Later, they found that Xu Xia’s singing time was not fixed, every time the beauty arrived, he started to play and sing, if the beauty did not come that afternoon, he would not sing.
At first it was just a suspicion, but after a long time, it was slowly and fully confirmed, and even Ren Dandan and Jiang Kaicheng could see that Xu Xia was interested in Meng Zi He. It’s just that he’s very boring and doesn’t say anything, unlike Chen Hua, who has openly sent flowers.
Meng Zi He hugged the stick of delicate roses and smiled lightly at Chen Hua, “You’re taking a risk because you don’t understand me at all.”
Chen Hua smiled in a gentlemanly manner, “I hope you give me a chance so I can get to know you.”
“I wouldn’t be the woman you want.”
“How do you know unless you try?”
Meng Zi He didn’t reply, looking at Xu Xia, who was chanting in a low voice in front of him, in silence.
The man’s pure voice whispered:
You were young that year.
It’s always nice to think that tomorrow will be beautiful.
That ideal world is like a ray of light.
Shining in your heart
How can we let this heart keep burning?
It just runs out and disappears into mediocrity.
You decide to hit the road and leave the city.
Leave the girl you’ve loved for years.
All these years and you’re still running.
Seeing that tomorrow is still in the air
Pure ideals in the face of survival.
It’s so fragile.
You’re standing on this busy street
Can’t find where you’re supposed to be going.
You’re standing on this busy street
Feeling panicked like I’ve never felt before.
…
After a while, she breathed out, as if exclaiming, “He sings so well.”
Chen Hua stared straight at him, his eyes burning as if he was waiting for her answer.
Meng Zi He lowered his eyes and drew on the cream with a small spoon, his voice low, “I’m not a nice person.”
“Usually the ones that talk about themselves like that aren’t that bad.”
“You’re going to regret this.”
“I won’t regret it.”
Jiang Kaicheng brought over a plate of cake, “Ms. Meng, Xu Xia invited you to eat.”
“Thank him for me.” The corners of Meng Zi He’s eyes flew up, and her flirtatious smile made Jiang Kaisheng’s heart jump, and he darted a glance at Chen Hua and turned to leave.
Jiang Kaisheng felt that Meng Zihe was a dangerous woman because she was too pretty and too ostentatious. Often creatures with beautiful appearance, especially women, are extremely dangerous. Just like the desert rose, it is unrivaled in beauty, but contains poison, which will kill you if you get it.
He didn’t understand why Xu Xia would like Meng Zi He, such a woman wasn’t suitable for him at all.
Chen Hua also looked at Xu Xia, “Or, you like Xu Xia because he always treats you to cake.”
Meng Zi He smiled slightly, “Xu Xia is a very simple person, he’s very much like a friend of mine.”
“Ex-boyfriend?”
“Ex-boyfriend’s favorite woman.”
Chen Hua froze, “You’re friends with the woman your ex-boyfriend likes?”
Menzies Ho asked him back, “What’s not to like?”
Chen Hua laughed a little, “I didn’t expect you to be so open-minded.”
Meng Zi He, however, smiled bitterly, “I’m just obsessed.”
Chen Hua was silent for a moment and held her hand, “Zi He, no matter what has happened to you, I hope I can take care of you in the future.”
Meng Zi He tried to pull back his hand, but the man grabbed it tighter, “Don’t run away, I can see that you don’t hate me, so why don’t you try?”
Xu Xia hugged the guitar, looking away from the corner, the man’s deep gaze, and their two hands folded together, he sighed softly and inaudibly, and sang on:
After all these years, you’re still running.
Seeing that tomorrow is still in the air
Pure ideals in the face of survival.
It turned out to be so fragile and vulnerable …
He was used to not fighting for anything, but in front of love, he couldn’t do anything to give it up. He was not as direct as Chen Hua, he could only sing for her and treat her to cake, that’s all.
Meng Zi He asked Chen Hua, “Why do you like me?”
“There is no why in the dictionary of love? If it could be told, it wouldn’t be called love.”
Menzies Ho asked again, “What do you like about me?”
“All, all, the good, and the bad.”
“Do you care about my past?”
“Don’t care, all I care about is now.”
“No matter what goes wrong with me, you’re not going to turn your back on me?”
“Righteousness.”
Meng Zi He looked at him quietly, “Well, if you insist, we can try to date.”
Chen Hua did not expect her to agree so quickly, for a moment but stayed, after a while before carefully asked, “Are you serious?”
“Really.” Meng Zihe’s expression was certain.
Chen Hua was ecstatic and raised his hand, Jiang Kaisheng came over, “Brother Chen, what do you want?”
“I’ll buy the bill for everyone here today!”
Jiang Kaisheng’s eyes went round, “Brother Chen, are you serious?”
“Ms. Meng accepted my confession.”
So it was like this, Jiang Kaisheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, Meng Zi He with Chen Hua was certainly better than with Xu Xia.
As soon as Xu Xia’s piano had fallen, Jiang Kaisheng announced the good news, and the café burst into an uproar, with everyone clapping and shouting their blessings.
Jiang Kaisheng sneaked a look at Xu Xia, although he did not go over to express his blessing, he was smiling and did not look half upset.
Probably they all thought wrong, Xu Xia’s song wasn’t for Meng Zi He.
Someone recorded a video of Xu Xia singing and sent it online, the hit rate in a short period of time on the ten thousand, and is still soaring, so there are people from the entertainment company came to lobby for him to go on the show, and there are people who want to package him, want to promote him, Xu Xia refused one by one, he does not like to be in the spotlight, and even more do not like high-profile.
Everyone didn’t understand, thinking that such a good opportunity, why did he waste it, how many people struggled so hard and didn’t have such luck, but he didn’t care about it.
Chen Hua hated the iron, counted him down, “In the past, you want you to participate in the competition, you do not go, afraid of failing, now do not have to compare, people say that directly packaged red, a lot of money into your arms, you do not want to, stupid not stupid ah! There is no one more stupid than you in this world.”
Xu Xia sat quietly without saying anything with her eyes downcast.
Meng Zi He said, “Xu Xia, what is your concern in the end?”
Xu Xia said, “I don’t like not being free. Even if you give me a hundred million dollars and let me live in a gold-encrusted house, if I’m not free, I’d rather not.”
Chen Hua scoffed, “What do you mean by freedom? Money is called freedom, what do you want to do, where do you want to go, earn enough, how do you want to be free ah.”
“I’m talking about freedom of the heart, not money, I’m well fed and clothed and the cafe is doing well, so why ask for trouble?”
Chen Hua is still indignant, “The age of youth is not progressive, no interest.”
“Forget it, everyone has their own way of living.” Meng Zi He said, “I think it’s not bad for Xu Xia to have a mindset like this.”
As if suddenly remembering, Xu Xia said to Meng Zi He, “There’s a new cake that tastes pretty good, do you want to try it?”
Meng Zi He’s eyes lit up, “That’s great, of course I’ll try.”
Xu Xia then got up to get the cake, Chen Hua looked at his back and said, “Everyone says he likes you, what do you think?”
Menzies He smiled, “I don’t deserve his favor.”
Chen Hua was not happy, “You mean you accept me because I am inferior to him?”
Meng Zi He glanced at him, “Small-minded.”
Xu Xia quickly brought the cake, and it was really different from what she had eaten before, the cream layer was very thin, but the texture was good, and it melted in the mouth, and the cake was more fluffy and had a slight sweetness.
Xu Xia explained, “This kind of cake has a smaller proportion of granulated sugar, and the cream is not greasy, which is good for your teeth.”
“Thank you,” Meng Zi He scooped a spoonful into her mouth and smiled sweetly, “I like it a lot.”
Xu Xia was afraid to see Meng Zi He smile, because that smile always made his heart tremble and he couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Coming out of the café, Chen Hua proposed to go eat together, Meng Zi He shook his head, “No, some other time, I’m a bit tired and want to go home.”
Chen Hua was a bit upset, “Zi He, we’ve been dating for a week and we haven’t had a single meal, do you think that’s normal? Also, you don’t allow me to hug you and kiss you, you only let hold hands, I don’t think you even consider me as a boyfriend.”
“You also said it’s only been a week of dating, what more do you want? To have sex?”
Chen Hua wanted to say that we are all adults, and it is not impossible for emotions to arrive, but Meng Zi He looked so serious that he didn’t dare to say it and just sulked.
Meng Zi He ignored him and walked off on his own.
Looking at the woman’s fading figure, Chen Hua was very slightly frustrated, he didn’t understand why Meng Zi He hadn’t opened her heart to him even though she was so good at what she did. He knew she was a person with a story, but who doesn’t have a past? There is no need to keep holding on to the past, right, the days always have to look forward ah!
Meng Zi He walked slowly along the street, at dusk, the setting sun slowly sinking in the west between the buildings, like a huge salted egg yolk. She felt a little funny, looking at everything like food.
The phone rang, it was Chen Hua calling, probably wanting to apologize to her, after hesitating, she didn’t answer it.
The first time I saw Chen Hua, his smile was gentle and courteous, just like Cheng Rui Zhang at the time. Agree to go out, also because of this reason. Knowing that it is a thirst quencher, but can not help it, there is a substitute to love yourself, can not make up for a little regret?
She was actually uncertain and hesitant, but Chan Wah said, “How do we know if we don’t try?”
The words moved her to give it a try, then.
I tried it and realized that it still didn’t work. No matter how much it looked like him, it wasn’t him!
Meng Zi He secretly sighed, in this life, she was afraid that there was no way for her to love another man.
