Chapter 62 Su Qingge's Letter: Thank you for marrying me 7 years ago
The night wind, carrying the crackling sound of the campfire, gradually swallowed up the surrounding noise.
Su Qingge stood in front of the microphone, the firelight behind her casting a long shadow. She didn't rush to read the letter, but instead looked up. Her eyes, which usually carried a hint of aloofness, now seemed filled with tiny starlight as she gazed at the man sitting in the corner through the crowd.
Lin Zhou was peeling an orange when he felt that gaze and paused slightly.
"Originally, I wanted to write about my feelings over the past few days."
Su Qingge's voice was very soft, but amplified by the electric current, it carried a trembling quality that struck people's hearts. "Write about how you turned the pigsty into a castle, write about how you carried me and ran wildly through the mud, or write about... that bowl of braised pork that I still can't forget."
A burst of good-natured laughter erupted from the audience.
But Su Qingge did not laugh.
She lowered her head and looked at the slightly messy handwriting on the letter, which she had written while crying in a corner.
"But when I picked up the pen, I suddenly realized that none of that mattered."
"Lin Zhou, I want to talk to you about seven years ago."
Seven years ago?
Lin Zhou's hand, which was peeling an orange, stopped in mid-air.
In her memory, those were the most humble and darkest times for the original owner. Her family had fallen on hard times, her parents had died, and she was like a stray dog, barely surviving in this city. At that time, Su Qingge, although not yet famous, was still the eldest daughter of the Su family and an unattainable school beauty.
How exactly do these two parallel lines intersect?
Su Qingge took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly:
"Everyone says that you, Lin Zhou, are lucky, that you're a gigolo who climbed the social ladder by marrying into my family. Even you yourself seem to think so now."
"But Lin Zhou, have you forgotten?"
"That summer seven years ago was when I was abandoned by everyone."
The entire room fell silent.
The live stream chat was instantly emptied, and everyone held their breath.
"Back then, because I refused to accept the marriage arrangement made by my family, I was kicked out of the Su family's house and all my credit cards were suspended; because I refused to accept the unspoken rules of the investors, I was completely blacklisted by the agency and faced huge breach of contract penalties."
"That night it was pouring rain. I was dragging my suitcase through the streets of Beijing, scrolling through my phone's contacts, but I couldn't find a single person I could reach."
"My friends and relatives who used to fawn over me now avoid me like the plague."
Su Qingge raised her head, tears silently sliding down her cheeks, glistening in the firelight.
"It's you."
"When I was at my most desperate, most miserable, and even contemplated suicide, you opened the door for me."
"Back then, you were barely able to afford food yourself, but you shared your last bowl of instant noodles with me, and said with a smile, 'It's no big deal. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. I'm 1.83 meters tall, so I can hold it up for you.'"
boom--!
These words were like a powerful tear gas bomb, hitting everyone hard in the heart.
The live stream chat exploded.
"Holy crap? This is the truth?"
"I always thought it was Lin Zhou relentlessly pursuing Goddess Su, but it turns out... it's a redemption story?"
"I'll take the hit for you at 1.83 meters..." That line really hurt me! Lin Zhou was already in such a difficult situation back then!
"So it wasn't a case of a gold digger marrying up, but rather a case of true friendship revealed in times of trouble?!"
Lin Zhou sat in the audience, completely stunned.
Orange juice splashed onto his hands, making them sticky, but he was completely unaware.
That's not right.
This script is wrong!
The original owner's memories were screaming in her mind: I'm a simp! I'm a backup plan! I took advantage of her vulnerability to force her to get the marriage certificate!
But the woman on stage, her face streaked with tears, was telling a completely different story in the most sincere voice.
"Lin Zhou, thank you."
Su Qingge wiped away her tears, her voice becoming firm and strong:
"Thank you for giving me a home when the whole world abandoned me."
"Thank you for using your meager savings to pay the penalty for breach of contract, even if it was the last bit of inheritance your parents left you."
"Thank you for willingly suppressing all your sharpness and bearing the stigma of being a 'gold digger' for the past seven years, just to stay at home and provide Nuonuo and me with the most secure home front."
"It was your mediocrity that made my brilliance shine."
At this point, Su Qingge broke down in tears.
She gripped the microphone tightly, as if using all her strength, and shouted out the words she had kept hidden in her heart for seven years to the man sitting in the shadows:
"Lin Zhou, I love you too."
"You used to protect me, now... it's my turn to protect you, okay?"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
Countless emotional female directors and villagers were wiping away tears. Even Yan Min, a hard-hearted old man, couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe his eyes.
That's so touching.
This is what love is all about!
What is a gigolo? What is a strong woman and a weak man?
This is clearly a two-way redemption!
"Give me a kiss! Give me a kiss!"
It's unclear who started it, but the commotion instantly filled the entire threshing ground.
Su Qingge burst into laughter through her tears, her cheeks flushed, but her gaze remained fixed intently on Lin Zhou, as if waiting for his response.
however.
Lin Zhou, the person involved, made no move at this moment.
He remained seated on the millstone, still in the same position as peeling an orange, completely still.
His face appeared somewhat pale in the firelight.
"Lin Zhou?"
Chen Kai, who was standing next to him, noticed something was wrong and nudged him. "Bro, are you stupid? Your girlfriend is confessing her feelings to you! Hurry up and go over there!"
Lin Zhou did not react.
His brows were furrowed tightly, and a fine layer of cold sweat had appeared on his forehead.
Just as Su Qingge uttered the words "seven years ago".
Just as she said "that rainy night".
Deep within Lin Zhou's brain, a sharp pain suddenly shot through him, so intense it felt like his soul was being torn apart.
"hiss--"
He gasped, the orange in his hand was crushed to pieces, juice splattering everywhere.
What is it...?
Something sealed deep within the original owner's memories, something even the transmigrator couldn't access immediately, is frantically pounding against the barrier of consciousness.
That was the truth he didn't want to remember, the truth that had been deliberately forgotten.
I'm not a simp.
Not a backup plan.
That was a memory... enough to overturn all his understanding.
"Lin Zhou! What's wrong?"
Su Qingge on the stage finally noticed Lin Zhou's unusual behavior.
Ignoring the fact that she was still live-streaming, she threw down the microphone, lifted her skirt, and rushed off the stage, running frantically to Lin Zhou.
"Honey? Don't scare me, what's wrong?"
Su Qingge cupped Lin Zhou's face in her hands, looking at his pale complexion and unfocused pupils, and felt a terrible panic.
Lin Zhou raised his head with difficulty.
In my vision, Su Qingge's anxious face began to blur, and the noisy voices around her gradually faded away.
Instead, the image of that rainy night became clearer and more real in my mind.
that……
A rainy night that changed the fate of two people.
