Chapter 251 He's Better Than You!
Some people say that time can be forgotten many things, even things that we once thought we would never forget.
As the elevator slides down rapidly, the whole person feels more or less weightless, which makes Eliza, who is dazed at the numbers jumping on the control board beside the elevator door, can't help but recall some things that she has forgotten for a long time.
She will never forget that on the day of the month, Christmas Eve, and her birthday, she received the most painful and sad gift in her life.
No reason, no sign, and even no psychological preparation
It was colder that night than it is now, and it was snowing. She put on her newly bought clothes and dressed up carefully for an afternoon. She booked a location for night view of Paris in his favorite restaurant, because he said that she could see the beauty of the whole Paris, and she also booked a romantic candlelight dinner.
At that time, the company they jointly with was in a financial crisis, and life was difficult every day. No one looked at the things he designed, and the depressed and downfall occupied his soul, but she did not. She was still full of confidence in the future because she believed that this man with the same name as the French contemporary artist Rodin would definitely become the best designer in the world. She never doubted her own vision.
Therefore, the opposition of her family failed to stop her, and she was even very conservative, because her parents divorced when she was young, which led to her view of marriage and love that was more important than anything else. She also planned to give her most precious everything to him on this night to prove her confidence and feelings for him.
But this night, she didn't wait for the man named August, but just waited for a call.
Her mother called her and told her something that there was a man named August, who was willing to give up everything for it, even including her mother, who chose the latter between her and her money, status, fame and fortune.
Sometimes, men are cowardly, so, since that night, she has never met the man named August again, nor has she ever received anything related to this man, and he seems to have completely disappeared from her life.
At the beginning, she was like she was going crazy, thinking about him all over her mind, and she couldn't figure out one thing. Why?
Could it be that money, fame, fortune and status are really that important to him?
Or is it that I have always overestimated my importance. I am not as important as I imagined. I am just a woman who can be abandoned anytime and anywhere?
She did not return home as her mother hoped, and returned to her mother's side. Because she could not stand all this, she chose to leave and went to her father's hometown of Holland, where she continued her studies and continued to use the universal healing medicine of time to soothe her wounded soul.
Thinking of this, Eliza's mouth had a moving smile, but it was very cold, a bit like mocking her weakness back then, because if she remembered correctly, she also took the elevator down that night. The feeling of weightlessness almost made her fall. It was that night that she cried so hard that her eyes almost blinded.
If I did it again, how could I cry for such a man again?
With a jingle, the elevator arrived.
As the elevator door slowly opened, Eliza, who was about to step out, was startled by the man standing in front of the elevator. The man seemed to be frightened by the woman in the elevator door that suddenly opened. She was unprepared and her face turned pale.
He was very white in the past. Eliza thought his whiteness was a charm, but now it seems to be a pathological one.
Men should be a little masculine and a little stubborn, and can withstand women and families with their shoulders.
The two of them looked face to face and didn't say anything for a long time. The elevator door slowly closed. The man outside was startled and quickly reached out and inserted it into the middle of the door. Fortunately, the elevator has the function of anti-pinching hands and slowly opened.
"Long time no see." The man walked into the elevator, stood beside Eliza, straightened, his pale face somewhat regained some blood.
Eliza looked ahead, of course she knew that with his current status, it was not difficult to find the hotel she stayed in, so she was not surprised that he came to her. She was surprised that she was not angry.
You know, in the first two years, she kept telling herself that if she saw this man again, she would have to cut him into pieces, or even take a knife and dig out his heart. It was still red. For such a meeting, she had imagined countless ways and words that torture him and hate him.
But now, I suddenly saw and met, but she found that she didn't hate her anymore.
God, is this world crazy? Or is it not the world that is crazy, but me?
August didn't say anything, he looked at Eliza, she was more beautiful than before.
In the past, Eliza was a famous and beautiful beauty in the Paris social circle, but at that time she was not very old, talented, and noble, and did not take the secular world seriously. She always said that she didn't like people she didn't like, even princes in Monaco, and she wanted to love as long as she liked, even a beggar on the street.
And her greatest wish is to help her love realize her greatest dream in life
Paris is a very realistic place, especially in the circle where they live, where they only hear new people laugh and no old people cry. In just a few years, everyone forgot about this genius girl who was popular all over Paris and fascinated countless men.
Only him, never dare to forget
There was a dead silence in the elevator. Eliza did not move at all. Looking at the elevator control board, August looked at her, as if he was looking at a peerless treasure he once had but had lost, and now he appeared in front of him again. But he couldn't say anything, and finally he could only stammer, "Is it... okay recently?"
Eliza's mouth opened slightly, trying to say something, but closed it again.
Such a slight movement was so beautiful and charming in August's eyes that touched the deepest string in his heart. It was still playing for a long time and could not calm down for a long time.
"Find a place to sit..." August finally plucked up his courage, but finally begged, "... OK?"
This time Eliza turned her head and looked at the man with a cold face, expressionless expression, "Aren't you afraid?"
August twitched his mouth, obviously not knowing how to answer.
Yes, he has been very conflicted over the years, afraid of seeing her, but he also wants to see her. These two conflicting feelings have always been in his heart, torture, and he feels very painful.
This time I finally met Eliza again. He found that so many years have passed, and many things have not been as they imagined. Eliza did not curse or even beat him up as he thought. She looked very calm, as if she was not angry at all. Is it because of the man named Ye Qiu?
He used to be afraid of being beaten and scolded, because he is now a well-known figure in Paris. If he is beaten and scolded, he will become a laughing stock in the whole world. But now, he suddenly finds that if he is not beaten or scolded, his heart will be even more uncomfortable. He seems to have lost something very, very important.
There were some things he could think were what he had before he saw them again, but when he saw them, he found that he had lost them.
The two finally arrived at the hotel cafe, each ordered a cup of coffee, and chose a seat next to the window to sit down.
"What is your relationship with Ye Qiu?" August finally couldn't help but feel silent and asked.
He had heard of Ye Qiu. The luxurious century wedding attracted the attention of the whole world, especially Ye Qiu proposed in public after winning the Champions League final. This was also regarded by countless young people as the most romantic thing in the world, and countless women even prayed that they could meet men like Ye Qiu.
When August saw Eliza and Ye Qiu so close yesterday, he always felt a little sad. He knew Eliza's arrogant personality very well. Being Ye Qiu's lover was not something she could accept, but looking at their closeness yesterday, what was their relationship?
"Is this important to you?" Eliza's tone was still very cold. After saying that, the corner of her mouth curled up, "I have heard a lot about you, why? Suddenly I like women again?" The words were full of sarcasm.
If someone else said this, August would have slapped him, but Eliza said this, but he could only smile bitterly.
Eliza Moon, this is an eternal hurdle in his heart. I can't overcome it, can't forget it, can't erase it, can't wipe it away
"Are you afraid that I will ask this question?" After August smiled bitterly, he suddenly noticed something from Eliza's eyes. He knew Eliza very well. Even after so many years, he still knew her, especially when she lies and wants to cover up something, there would always be a very subtle look.
Eliza stared at him coldly, without saying a word.
But for August, not speaking is equivalent to default.
Suddenly, he understood a little, why she didn't hate herself anymore
Because, to her, she is no longer important at all, and in her heart, someone is more important than him
When a woman devotes all her feelings to love a man, she will not be able to hate another man.
Love leads to hatred. The reason for hatred is that there is still love. Without love, there will be no hatred.
This was definitely not the news that August wanted to hear. His face turned pale again, morbid white, and bloodless.
"Stop interfering in my affairs, and be more worried about your body." Eliza still sneered.
Anyone who has been in the circle knows that August's morbid white is not just weakness, it also has drugs.
"Does he know?" August took a deep breath, regaining a little bloody color.
"It's not your business." Eliza was still very cold.
After hearing this, August shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Even if... just as a friend, can't you care for it?"
"To" Eliza answered without hesitation, "I never like others to interfere in my affairs, before, and now."
August was not angry because he couldn't get angry when facing Eliza. He just smiled bitterly and asked a word he thought was stupid, "Where does he attract you? Is it worth your way for him?"
Eliza looked at August, her eyes full of disdain, "He has many, many shortcomings, but he has one thing that is definitely better than you, that is, he is braver than you."
"Brave?" August murmured this word, with some regret.
"When you encounter difficulties, you will blame others and give up on yourself, but he is as confident and strong as ever, trying to find a solution; when you are questioned, you choose to bear it, but he dares to resist; when you are with you, I feel like a nanny who cares for children, and when you are with him, I feel like a protective umbrella to protect me from the wind and rain. For me, he dares to wave his fists at a man who is several circles bigger than him. Do you dare?"
August twitched a few times, but didn't say anything, because these were his shortcomings and his weaknesses.
In fact, when he was with Eliza, the latter was the backbone, and he looked more like a vassal.
When a woman is a strong woman in front of him but a gentle lamb in front of other men, as a man, should we reflect on ourselves carefully? Why is this happening?
"The best thing about him is that even though he has gone from a famous boy back then to his success and fame today, he seems to have changed a lot, but in his bones, he is still Ye Qiu. He can still give up everything for some things like he did back then."
This is also August's biggest heart disease, because he gave up his love for money, fame, fortune and status.
Over the years, he has made countless excuses for himself, such as the woman is so strong that she has to listen to her everything, as if she is the only one in the world that is right and everyone else is wrong.
Also, that woman was extremely conservative and had a marriage phobia. She had been dating for two years, and she didn't let herself touch her except holding hands. Such a woman appeared in Paris and in the fashion circle. Isn't this a freak?
He could find a lot of reasons and blame Eliza for all the blame, but he could not deceive himself, so over the years, he had to use other methods and means to force himself to forget these memories he didn't want to remember.
"It seems... he treats you very well," August said in frustration, "but his wife..."
"You don't need your attention to these things," Eliza interrupted him, preventing him from continuing to speak, asking.
After a pause, she took a deep breath, "August." This was the first time she called this name in so many years.
"I used to hate you very much, but now I don't hate you anymore, but I don't want to have any involvement with people like you anymore. So, from now on, I hope we won't meet again and don't force me to hate you again."
After these words, Eliza no longer had the coldness and hardness she had before, but she still had no feelings because she devoted all her feelings to others.
When did it start, she didn't know, maybe it was from that day that he waved his fist at Huyzinge and knocked the Dutch man down in front of Eliza; or on that dark night, they were on the banks of Lelystad, she closed her eyes, opened her arms, and handed everything of her life into his hands, just like the heroine in the Titani, embracing Lake Essel.
Or maybe on the day he decided to leave Ajax, under Arena Stadium, he told her that he would never hesitate to choose her when coaching Barcelona, in between.
Or...
She doesn't know, she really doesn't know.
I believe that if August hadn't suddenly appeared in front of her and suddenly realized that she could not have hated her at all, she would not have discovered this secret hidden deep in her heart.
Some loves are obvious and vigorous, which makes the whole world pay attention to; some loves are hidden so deeply that they may not even know or notice them. They are only suddenly discovered after encountering some things.
It turns out that you have replaced him forever inadvertently
Eliza was thinking about Ye Qiu, thinking about everything she had happened to Ye Qiu in the past, and her head was a little confused. Even August couldn't get up to say goodbye, so she thought about Ye Qiu.
So, when Ye Qiu suddenly appeared in front of her, she was shocked, her pink face turned red like a tomato, her heart beat very fast, and she was so panicked that she seemed to be standing in front of Ye Qiu after taking off her clothes. She didn't know why this happened, she completely lost the calmness and calmness she used to in front of Ye Qiu.
"Are you sick?" Ye Qiu sat down in front of her carelessly, reaching out to cover her forehead.
When her hands touched her pink forehead, Eliza couldn't help but hold her fists nervously. She completely lost her strength. She just watched Ye Qiu with concern in front of her, and she completely lost her mind.
"No fever," Ye Qiu murmured, and his hand shrank back, "What nerves do you have if you don't have fever?"
Eliza is so rare that she didn't talk back?
This made Ye Qiu strange, because if it were in the past, this girl would have retorted directly, and even had to attack Ye Qiu a few more revenge, but today it seems a bit abnormal?
It must be because of the man who just left
Ye Qiu was confident that when he first walked into the cafe, he happened to see the man he met at the TV station headquarters last night walking into the elevator. He had always had a good memory, especially for those men who were more handsome than him, he would definitely remember it wrong.
"Who is the man who came to find you just now?" Ye Qiu asked.
Eliza absent-mindedly picked up a cup of coffee, and when she heard it, her hands trembled and splashed it out.
