25. "Sugar"
The alarm clock rang several times, Ai Xin woke up in a daze, habitually reached out to turn off the alarm clock with the mobile phone, and suddenly reacted, why was he in bed?
Ai Xin suddenly got up from the bed, ran to the living room with his mobile phone, Tong Yu was not there, Ai Xin checked each room again to make sure that Tong Yu was gone. She didn't leave a note or anything else, she looked at her phone, and there was not even a WeChat message.
What, Ai Xin pursed her lips, took some fruit from the refrigerator and mixed it in the yogurt, and checked the messages and emails on her phone while eating breakfast.
"Do you want to go at night?" Tao Li sent a WeChat message.
Ai thought about it, he was very busy some time ago, and the manuscript of the novel had almost been sent, so he still had to stay at home to catch up with the manuscript today, so he directly rejected Tao Li's invitation.
"I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother. Tao Li replied resentfully, with an "I'm OK" emoji.
"Nine tubes!" Ai Xin shouted, but there was no response, and the nine pipes were probably still sleeping somewhere. She added some cat food to the food bowl, watered the flowers on the balcony, cleaned up the living room and kitchen, lay on the sofa and watched a movie, and was busy until noon, then sighed and reluctantly entered the study.
Ai Xin never thought that a small hobby many years ago would now become a job that she has to do every day, I really don't know if it's good or bad. Still, she thought about it, at least for now, it seemed to be a useful thing.
Pushing open the door, the sunlight shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the bookcases on both walls are spotlessly clean, arranged neatly according to country and type, and the solid wood bookcases complement the color of the wallpaper. Directly behind the desk hangs a framed handwriting with the word "sugar" written by Ai Xin herself. On the walls hung several gridded iron shelves with photographs and some newspaper clippings from magazines. There is a huge whiteboard hanging on the side, which is an important prop that Ai Xin must use to write a large frame every time she creates. The study is Ai Xin's most proud and favorite design over the years, and the whole study room gives her a sense of tranquility, as long as she sits in it, she can temporarily forget all the troubles in real life and immerse herself in the world she has created.
Just as he was about to sit down, Ai Xin suddenly felt that something was not right, and looked at the surroundings and the table, but there was no difference, maybe he was too suspicious.
After a busy afternoon, Ai Xin got up from the chair, stretched, covered the computer, and picked up his mobile phone to prepare to swipe the circle of friends.
A thunderbolt exploded in Ai Xin's mind, and she finally thought of the reason why she had always felt that something was wrong, she would close the computer every time she finished using it, and when she came in today, the computer was actually turned on......
In the huge living room, Tong Yu was wrapped in a blanket, shrunk on the sofa, staring at the mobile phone on the table. After sitting for a while, Tong Yu still didn't give up, picked up his mobile phone and opened Weibo.
Really......
Tong Yu flipped through her past Weibo, no wonder he felt déjà vu when he first saw Jiuguan, and he thought that all the blue cats in the world looked similar.
However, Ai Xin obviously has long straight black hair, but the back of the photo on Weibo is a brown curly hair, Tong Yu has never thought about it in this direction.
Although there are still some details that can't be pieced together, Tong Yu has probably connected a lot of things in his mind, and many incredible things make sense. However, the big question is......
Tong Yu thought that he had doubted Ai Xin for a moment last night, and he longed for a mobile phone to smash on his head, and the guilt in his heart kept pouring out.
The hour hand slowly pointed to seven o'clock, Tong Yu hesitated for a while, but still picked up his mobile phone and prepared to order a takeout. At such a moment, he could still remember how delicious the mushrooms and potatoes he baked last night were.
"Teacher Tong. As soon as he picked up the phone, Ai Xin's WeChat came, and Tong Yu was so frightened that he threw the phone aside. However, in less than a minute, Ai Xin dialed the phone.
"Hey?" Tong Yu stubbornly picked up.
"Teacher Tong. Ai Xin's voice sounded stiff as well.
"What's wrong?"
"You...... Are you home?"
"Returned. ”
"Oh, you left in the morning, I didn't see you. ”
"Hmm......" Tong Yu breathed a sigh of relief, although he left quietly in the middle of the night, but since Ai Xin didn't wake up, he shouldn't have found out.
"Oh, then you ......" Ai Xin hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth again, "Do you see anything?"
"No!" Tong Yu replied without hesitation.
"......" Ai Xin was silent, holding the phone and frowning tightly. Sure enough, it was still discovered, and if you asked yourself, you would definitely answer "What did you see?" instead of "Didn't see it." ”
"Is there something wrong?" Tong Yu hadn't found a loophole in his answer, and seeing that Ai Xin didn't speak, he asked weakly.
"It's nothing, are you meeting lately?" Ai Xin on the other end seemed to sigh.
"I ...... Recently, I have to prepare for the show...... "Tong Yu hasn't figured out how to face Ai Xin, so he can only deal with the past first.
"Okay, then I'll not bother you yet. Ai Xin answered, and before Tong Yu could answer, he hung up the phone.
Tong Yu took the phone and was stunned for a while, before he realized that he had just goed on, and scratched his hair in annoyance, or he should ask others how to deal with this situation. He flipped through the address book, clicked on Su Ya's number, hesitated for a moment and turned on Li Man's number.
There is no way to discuss this kind of problem with others! Tong Yu sighed, there was no one around him who was suitable to discuss the current situation.
"Are you sure?" Tao Li lay on the sofa, looking at Ai Xin with a sad face.
"Totally sure. Ai Xin covered her forehead and leaned on the sofa in pain, "I forgot to lock the door last night, I never thought he would go in!"
"It's not a bad thing, you spread it out with him and say no, it's over?"
"The point is, he doesn't even want to meet with me now!"
"Then ......," Tao Li thought for a moment, "you'll find a way to meet him." ”
"How do you see it?" Ai Xin came to his senses, rubbed at Tao Li's feet and looked at him excitedly.
"It's said that if you fall in love, you will become stupid, and that's not wrong at all. Tao Li glanced at her with disgust, "What did you do at the beginning, can't you just do it now?"
Ai Xin was stunned and shook his head: "I don't want to play tricks now." ”
"Hey, you brain. Tao Li kicked her angrily, "Is love important or dignity important?"
"Love is important when there is no love, and dignity is important when there is love. Ai replied seriously.
"Wrong! Completely wrong! Big mistake!" Tao Li sat up and flicked Ai Xin's head, "I tell you, you can have dignity when you don't have love, and love is the most important thing when you have love!"
Ai Xin pursed his lips, as if he disagreed with Tao Li's point of view.
"I said you, I don't think about it, what you've been doing all this way. Tao Li sighed, he was really disappointed with Ai Xin, who was not sober now.
