Chapter 167
Chapter 171: You Are Wrong, I Refuse To Be Right, You Are Ignorant And I Am Ignorant (24)
Zhao Yi was really frantic in the past few days when he was looking for the court speech.
No one knows the whereabouts of Chao Ci. Those friends between them also didn’t think much about it after hearing that Chao resigned to participate in the national project. For more than two months, no one of them noticed that something was wrong. He even ran to Chao’s house to ask Chao Jiandong, but Chao Jiandong was even more surprised than Zhao Yi when he heard that his speech had been missing for more than two months.
Then Chao Jiandong waved his hand indifferently and said to him, “It’s okay, the old man is not in a hurry, which means that the kid is definitely fine. That kid is tough!
Turning his head and getting close to Zhao Yi again. Zhao Yi is now a veritable prince of the Zhao family, while Chao Jiandong is an empty shell hollowed out by an illegitimate child. Of course he is not reconciled.
Zhao Yi couldn’t seem to hear what Chao Jiandong said after that.
After seeing Chao Jiandong’s reaction, he suddenly felt a huge wave of absurdity and sadness.
It turned out that this was the rhetoric.
He seems to be the center of the crowd, the object of everyone’s love and fawn, he is like a duck in water and unrestrained in any group… But no one really cares about him.
A big living person disappeared for more than two months, friends, family, and no one noticed.
He used to think that Chao Ci was the most popular. On the contrary, he himself is disdainful of communication except for the necessary entertainment in business. But now I found out that the one who really alienated from the crowd was Chao Ci.
Those circles of friends of Chaoci were actually established with Zhao Yi as the center. Like Lin Yanchen and the others, Zhao Yi met in junior high school. At that time, Zhao Yi’s family background was the best and his aura was strong, so those people faintly centered on him. And the court speech was pulled in by Zhao Yi. At that time, Chao Ci was not yet the successor of the Chao family, but an illegitimate child that no one wanted. Lin Yanchen and the others reluctantly accepted Zhao Yi’s face, and later they became more harmonious because of Chao Ci’s personal charm.
But because Chao Ci came from a humble background after all, at that time Chao Ci was more like a horse boy beside Zhao Yi, even if Zhao Yi himself didn’t think so. When Chao Ci was taken back to the Chao family and became the only successor of the Chao family, they were truly equal.
After that, because of Chao Ci’s temperament suitable for standing in the middle of the crowd, he has always been the center of their circle. Everyone is happy to talk to him, play with him, and do things with him.
But these friendships are superficial. Chaoci has never had in-depth communication with them. It seems friendly, but in fact it is far away from others.
Only Zhao Yi is the one who can touch his heart and soul.
His seemingly glamorous and prosperous life turned out to be so desolate.
And Zhao Yi, who seems to be ignorant of anyone, is the emotionally wealthy one. He was the only seedling of the Zhao family, and every elder regarded him as a pain in the eye. What Lin Yanchen and those people really surrounded was also Zhao Yi. There were countless girls chasing him, and even though most of them never caught his eye, Nan Xiaojin, who stumbled, knocked open his heart.
Family, friendship, love… He lacks everything, even richer than 99% of the people.
So before, he clearly had a heartbeat, but he stuck to that line and didn’t dare to cross a step.
Because he has enough. Going one step further might get more, but it might ruin everything… so he’d rather stop.
Until this moment, Zhao Yi’s heart felt like a heavy blow, and he saw through himself all at once.
It turned out to be so.
How selfish and arrogant.
Bloodshot gradually appeared in his eyes, and a slight redness appeared in the whites of his eyes.
Chao Jiandong noticed his strangeness and closed his mouth embarrassingly.
Zhao Yi didn’t listen to what he said before, and now he doesn’t want to delay here.
He turned his head and walked hurriedly away.
Along the way, he drove his car through this huge steel city, everything turned into the wind whistling in his ears, only the bitter heart in his chest was the most real.
He wandered aimlessly through the city, perhaps expecting that person to appear on a street corner.
Throughout his life, Zhao Yi was born to be rich and smooth. I have never had a big somersault in my life. Even if my uncle was kidnapped by my uncle at the age of eight, and his life was hanging by a thread, he was not so panicked at this moment.
Guilt is like a tide, panic is like a haze.
He claims to be the best brother of Chaoci, but after so many years, at this moment, he really understands the situation of Chaoci.
Because in the past, he didn’t need to dig out the fragility of Chao Ci and spend countless efforts to cure it. He just needs to enjoy everything that Chao Ci is by his side, and then make some superficial contributions.
He was reluctant to take a step, thinking that he would hold on to everything.
But Chao Ci was never an object. He was a human being, and he would be disappointed and hurt.
He’s going to get out of his hands.
Finally, twilight fell. He roamed around the city until there was not a drop of oil left in the car.
He called for a tow truck, and went back in a daze.
He finally understood that his feelings for Chao Ci were never pure.
He loved him, but he was a ridiculous miser.
He stood on the empty street, and the crowds and vehicles were just flashes of light and shadows in his eyes.
Ah Ci, I was wrong, I was really wrong… Can you come back?
Where should I go to find you?
…
He didn’t even go back that night. Sitting on the bench on the street corner, watching the fine snow falling from the street lamps, I stared blankly all night.
When the sky slowly brightened, pedestrians on the road also appeared in twos and threes.
Only then did he stand up stiffly and staggered away.
It turned out to be so. As long as Chao Ci took the initiative to leave, no one could find him.
He is the tallest, largest and most beautiful kite to fly. Beside him, there are countless equally beautiful kites, they are in the same sky, they look lively and lively, but in fact he has no fetters with anyone.
His only fetter was the sparse kite string, the other end of which was tied to Zhao Yi’s hand.
The kite flew too high and encountered too much wind. Zhao Yi was afraid that he would hurt himself, that he would make his steps unsteady, and that the too persistent and tenacious kite string would hurt him. He voluntarily let go of the line.
No one in the world can find the remarks anymore.
Remorse over and over again can’t exchange for forgiveness, it can only make Zhao Yi’s heart more and more dead.
until a phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and saw the string of mobile phone numbers flashing on the screen, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
He was the one who sent out to look for Chao Ci.
These days, this string of numbers has called him countless times, and the results are always unsatisfactory.
But at this moment, Zhao Yi is in a desperate situation. In any case, this is his only hope.
He, who used to be the closest to Chao Ci, can find his way back when Chao Ci leaves… and he is no different from a stranger.
“Mr. Zhao, found it! XX airport, the flight to country D at 9:10 this morning! We saw Mr. Chao at the airport gate!”
Great joy and excitement stirred his chest.
His dead eyes suddenly filled with joy.
The car has been towed away, and now Zhao Yi is alone on the street without any personal transportation.
Zhao Yi directly stopped a taxi and asked him to take him to the nearest subway station.
Sitting in the subway station, Zhao Yi looked at the speeding scene outside the window, and was used to smiling on his expressionless face.
Immediately afterwards, his mobile phone rang again, Zhao Yi picked it up, and it was a photo sent by the person he commissioned to investigate.
In the photo, Chao Ci was wearing a cashmere coat and a thick scarf, sitting in the waiting seat holding a cup of coffee.
Zhao Yi couldn’t help but laugh. I couldn’t help rubbing the profile of Chao Ci in the photo.
When Chao Ci was a sophomore in high school, he was 1.8 meters tall, but he has not grown taller since then. On the contrary, it was Zhao Yi, who was still running all the way after the second year of high school, and now he is in his early nineties.
Chao Ci usually looks tall and tall, but now wrapped in a coat and a thick scarf, somehow, he looks like a small one.
His lips were red and there was a little coffee on them.
Zhao Yi zoomed in on the photo, looked at it again and again, and was in a mess.
In the end, he sighed in his heart, and Chao Ci lost weight.
There was not much flesh on the cheeks, and it was even more sunken at this time. Although he still looks beautiful and handsome, Zhao Yi felt distressed.
He doesn’t know where Chao Ci has been in the past two months, but he must have suffered and must be unhappy.
Not anymore.
The tram was speeding, and it took half an hour to get to the airport this time.
In the past half hour, Zhao Yi thought a lot.
He thought about how to make up for the court speech, how to make him happy… He used to be a stingy and arrogant person who was ignorant and arrogant, but now that he wakes up, he can’t wait to put everything he has into the court speech at one go, only Hope he will be happy.
He even thought about getting married.
After marriage, they can go out and relax. If Chao Ci likes a child, they can adopt one, and if they don’t like it, they can also adopt a kitten and a dog.
Thinking of this, he became confused again. I am worried that those children, kittens and dogs that do not exist will occupy too much love in Chao Ci, and I hope that Chao Ci will have more fetters in life.
The subway finally arrived at the station, he left the station in a hurry, and pulled up a taxi again to go to the airport.
The subway station here is very close to the airport, and they arrived at the airport in seven or eight minutes.
He ran into the airport gate and saw Chao Ci at first sight.
Chao Ci was still sitting in the position on the photo, but another tall man came not far away.
The man walked to Chao Ci, put a light kiss on his forehead, then pulled Chao Ci up and led him to the security check.
Zhao Yi originally wanted to look for Chao Ci at the first time, but this scene made him stop.
