Chapter 23 Unfair

Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't help but admit the shock when he heard this sentence.

Such a show of love is like a farewell before departure, a last word at the end of the road.

A willing sincerity emerged from the hopelessness.

I will tell you my deepest and weakest thoughts. It is not a request, not a reply, but it is all given to you when there is still a chance, whether you want it or not.

like a sacrifice.

When Ren Zhaoyuan saw the document in the afternoon, he was surprised.

When he asked Zheng He to investigate, he was suspicious, and it was Zhao Yuanqing, not Tan Zheng.

Regarding the fact that Tan Zheng likes himself, Ren Zhaoyuan can at most trace it back to the opening banquet of Tongzhou Manor based on his behavior. Since then, the contact has increased and the understanding has deepened.

But no matter how early, Ren Zhaoyuan never thought about it.

In the past few years, it was not that he had no contact with Tan Zheng, because Tan Zheng invested in his studio, and Ren Zhaoyuan received it several times alone. Moreover, in S City, the business circle is so large, and many large-scale receptions accompanied by Zhao Yuanqing may also encounter Tan Zheng.

It was nothing but a nod.

Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't imagine that, for so many years, what he thought was a general friend actually paid attention to his whereabouts and followed his trajectory silently.

This is so unreasonable.

Even if one person in the drama can have a deep-rooted relationship with another person just by one side, even if Tan Zheng really fell in love with him without a deep friendship between the two, why are there countless opportunities to get close to chatting over the years? , Tan Zheng has never been?

The solemn, traditional, and unsmiling in his previous impression of Tan Zheng stemmed from Tan Zheng's indifference and distance every time they met.

So even if these evidences are in front of him, Ren Zhaoyuan still dare not make a conclusion.

Maybe there's a 1 percent chance that it's a coincidence.

But now, Tan Zheng clearly told him that it was not a coincidence.

The most unexpected time has passed, and what surprises Ren Zhaoyuan even more is Tan Zheng's tears.

Tan Zheng lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but Ren Zhaoyuan clearly saw the transparent liquid like crystal beads falling down.

The room was so quiet that could hear the faint sound of tears hitting the floor.

Ren Zhaoyuan tasted the sourness in his silent tears.

Then, another one.

"Tan Zheng..."

"Well," Tan Zheng replied vaguely, wiped his eyes and straightened up, subconsciously trying to dodge and forcing himself to look directly at Ren Zhaoyuan, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this, I won't do this in the future."

His eyes were a little red, not obvious, and he couldn't tell that he had cried.

Like a child who was exposed by the teacher after doing something wrong.

Panicked, scared, overwhelmed, and then forced to face the fear, admit the mistake, apologize, and then wait for the expected sentence.

There was a vague sense of indescribable familiarity in Ren Zhaoyuan's heart, just like Tan Zheng, he had seen him a long time ago.

"You..." Tan Zheng swallowed a few times and adjusted his voice, "What you said, I can also ask you a question, does it count?"

"Count, you ask."

"What can I do to calm you down?" Tan Zheng moved his lips and lowered his eyes again, "You can do anything, as long as you calm down."

After a second of pause, Tan Zheng added softly, "It's okay to eliminate a little bit."

"I do not.."

Before he could finish speaking, Ren Zhaoyuan was stunned.

What is he trying to say?

I am not angry.

Why?

Why are you not angry?

Even Tan Zheng himself knew that what he did was wrong, it was neither honorable nor magnanimous, even if these things were restrained and measured, they didn't let him notice, and they didn't affect his normal life, but wrong was wrong.

Tan Zheng did it wrong.

Strictly speaking, this is tracking that violates privacy.

But why did he let Tan Zheng in?

Why can they coexist peacefully with Tan Zheng when only 1% is a coincidence?

Why can he talk and eat with Tan Zheng like this has never happened?

Why am just surprised, just analyze the unreasonableness of this matter, there is neither resistance nor disgust, and even a special distance is not maintained?

Does he not care about this kind of thing?

no.

Ren Zhaoyuan knows better than anyone how much he resents similar things. He resents dishonesty behavior, dislikes unreasonable transgressions, and dislikes design traps in any sense.

Then why is it not disgusting when it is placed on Tan Zheng?

Is it just because Tan Zheng didn't see these as bargaining chips or has always been in control of the scale?

If this is the case, then put these things on others, Zhao Yuanqing, Kang You, or Tongzhou Zhaochen Yao Qiming Zheng He, can he also not mind?

Moving forward, is the friction between Tan Zheng and Zhao Yuanqing really his responsibility?

Does he really have to find a way to solve it?

When the two attacked using him as an excuse, they didn't get his consent, so why did they need him to be responsible for the result?

Ren Zhaoyuan was never one to escape from his heart.

He may make unintended choices for various reasons, but he does not know what his true thoughts are.

There is only one answer to all whys.

Because this person is Tan Zheng.

Because he didn't just have a good impression of Tan Zheng.

Therefore, I am afraid that he will suffer a loss in the face of Zhao Yuanqing, and I am afraid that years of hard work and hard work of offending the forces will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

Therefore, I gave in, tolerated, worried, and unknowingly accepted what was supposed to be disgusting, and did something that was not customary.

He likes Tan Zheng.

Ren Zhaoyuan leaned back against the sofa with his arms folded, and watched Tan Zheng quietly from the distance of a coffee table.

His eyes moved from the half-muscle and blue-veined forearm that was exposed by the sleeves that fell down after washing dishes, to the protruding throat bone, and then up to the angular jaw, and the flickering eyes.

He actually really liked Tan Zheng.

Tan Zheng was seen by Ren Zhaoyuan, sweat oozing from his back, and his Adam's apple rolled and rolled uncontrollably. don't know if Ren Zhaoyuan said only two words, whether he wanted to say that he didn't want him to do it or that he didn't need to do it. He is angry.

"Brother Zhaoyuan.."

No more direct names.

Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't bear to make trouble with his frightened appearance, and said bluntly, "I'm not angry."

Tan Zheng couldn't react for a while. What does this not angry mean? He feels that what he has done is indifferent and unlikely, that is...not necessary?

At this point, Tan Zheng gave it up and asked Ren Zhaoyuan directly, "Aren't you angry because of these things? Or is there no need to be angry with me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't want to answer: "This is the second question."

Tan Zheng obediently said, "Then you ask."

Ren Zhaoyuan had nothing to ask.

Since he didn't plan to develop a relationship with Tan Zheng, he shouldn't ask the root cause of this relationship.

But Tan Zheng..

Ren Zhaoyuan thought about it casually: "You said before that for some reasons, you unilaterally cut off the cooperation with Zhao Yuanqing's new project, why?"

"Knowing him..." Tan Zheng's voice was a little lower, "I'm sorry for what I did to you, but I can't be angry."

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't comment, but said, "I see."

The hour hand of the clock has begun to tilt above the number 11, Ren Zhaoyuan returned to the topic.

"Tan Zheng, thank you for your sincerity. I deserve it. You are excellent and very good, but we are not suitable. You are still young and have a long life. You will meet someone who is more suitable."

After listening to him, Tan Zheng was silent for a while before opening his mouth: "The first question you asked first, I should be able to ask the last one."

"You want to ask the question just now?"

"No, you don't have to answer, but you must tell the truth and don't lie to me."

Ren Zhaoyuan nodded: "Okay."

Tan Zheng looked straight into his eyes, without blinking, saying word by word, "Do you like me?"

The premise in front of this question is too precise, leaving no room for Ren Zhaoyuan at all.

Ren Zhaoyuan sighed softly and said, "Tan Zheng, I am not suitable for you, you will meet someone better, young, simple, with a lively and enthusiastic soul, who can give you undefended and unreserved love, and I cannot."

Tan Zheng's voice trembled slightly: "Do you like me?"

Ren Zhaoyuan did not speak.

"You like me, know that I love you, but do you think you're not suitable for me?" Tan Zheng frowned as if puzzled, "It's like a child who has been standing outside the window all night for a piece of cake, finally Wait until the door is unlocked and the clerk tells him this taste is not suitable for him?"

"Tan Zheng..."

Tan Zheng's eyes were completely red: "No one knows what I want and what suits me better than me. You may not want to give it to me, but I don't accept this reason."

"Okay," Ren Zhaoyuan lowered his eyes, "I'm just talking about myself, I have no plans to start a relationship, and I don't want anyone's feelings to hang on me, especially..."

"Tan Zheng, I don't want to give or accept, sorry."

The time reminder on the phone popped up again, Ren Zhaoyuan got up first and went to get the dried clothes for Tan Zheng.

I don't know how long Tan Zheng had been standing downstairs, his coat was extremely damp. Ren Zhaoyuan hesitated for a few seconds, but still found a handbag to put his coat in, and took one of his own for him.

Tan Zheng put it on.

But didn't go.

He took a step closer to Ren Zhaoyuan, and Ren Zhaoyuan also wanted to follow back, but only hit the wall behind him.

"It's okay if you don't want to give, it's okay if you don't want to receive."

Tan Zheng was already a few centimeters taller than Ren Zhaoyuan, and the heel of his leather shoes was higher than his slippers. Now, standing in front of him at such a close distance, the height difference made Ren Zhaoyuan hold his breath subconsciously.

"you.."

Tan Zheng didn't move any more, he just looked down at Ren Zhaoyuan, his expression was very serious: "I accept rejection, but I can't give up, I haven't before, and I won't in the future. If you have established a relationship with someone, I will take it from you. Disappearing in your life, but only disappearing."

Ren Zhaoyuan frowned: "Tan Zheng..."

"You can pretend that you don't know, you can pretend that nothing happened, you can always tell me what makes you uncomfortable, you can let me do anything, you can hang me, or you can reject me. I don't really want you to promise anything. , as long as you allow me to be by your side."

"It's not fair."

"I don't need fairness," Tan Zheng said, "I just want you."

Ren Zhaoyuan swallowed and changed the subject: "It's too late to go to the airport."

Tan Zheng didn't move: "When you were playing before, you owed me a lot of money, and promised to pay me back if you didn't break the bill."

"You want affection?"

"I want your injustice," Tan Zheng's eyes were full of eyes full of Ren Zhaoyuan's appearance, "Give me a little of your injustice, okay?"

Ren Zhaoyuan looked at him, but Tan Zheng's eyes were too sincere and too scorching.

After a long time, Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't bear to look away, pushed open the door a little embarrassedly, and whispered, "Happy New Year," in the sudden influx of winter night.
