Chapter 8: He's Not a Boyfriend
ο»Ώ
"Go give it to me again. Make a cup of coffee. Situ Leiyan slowly spat out a sentence. Turn. Her long, narrow eyes skimmed over her nervous little face. The eyes that stared at her were gone. Xiao Xixi breathed a sigh of relief. But there's still a little bit of a lingering palpitation.
"Then you agreed. She hurriedly asked. It's better to be sure. This man. Floating. "You don't speak. I'll just take you as you agree. Xiao Xixi added in a tentative tone not quite sure. While quietly observing his reaction.
Seeing that Situ Lei Yan did not answer. It's a default. Her heart was full of joy. It occurred to me that he wanted coffee. Cheerfully walked out the door.
Situ Leiyan stood in front of the window. With his back to Xiao Xixi. Looking down at everything downstairs.
At one point he thought he could look down on the world. All of them. All surrender before the sight. No matter any woman. There is no need for so-called "conquest". There are more people climbing dragons and phoenixes. He was at the top of the list of women whose names he couldn't name. There are no emotions at all. Now I care about such a little girl.
In front of him, there seemed to be the delicate appearance of her pursing pink lips just now. Trying to control his urge to kiss her. He stood up abruptly and ignored the thought.
In her eyes. There is no attachment. He could see it clearly. Only. Worry about the kind of horror and worry that still has to stay by his side. She... Don't you like to be by his side so much?
Hear the voice behind him. Presumably, Xiao Xixi had already left the house to prepare another coffee for him. Ignoring his feelings that he couldn't be happy. Situ Leiyan crossed his hands together. The black shirt wrapped around his viscous curves. Faint breathing undulations. It exudes a treacherous atmosphere.
The day passed like this. Situ Lei Yan pouted Xiao Xixi who didn't say much. She's very busy. Seemingly. Nothing stopped her from the pleasure of criticizing fakes.
I can't survive this depression. Situ Lei Yan gasped for breath a few times. I can't sit still. He got up and picked up his coat that hung from the back of his chair. He left without looking back.
Xiao Xixi finished typing the last word in today's copy. Sitting in his chair, he let out a long breath. Stretch your waist. Moved his neck.
Didn't find it. Outside the window, it was already night.
Xiao Xixi walked down the street with her bag. The heat has dissipated. Early autumn after nightfall. Cool breeze. She wore a seven-point dress. I still feel a little chilly on my wrist. I couldn't help but speed up my pace.
Because the location of Situ Yatai company is excellent. The shops in the vicinity are all well-known chains. Xiao Xixi quickly walked to Lafite's cake shop. The main theme of this cake shop is "Discover Pure Deliciousness". Recently, there has been a lot of noise due to raw material additives. Only Lafite Patisserie because the ingredients are 100% natural. Spared in public opinion.
Standing at the door, the air was already filled with the aroma of custard. Xiao Xixi was already drunk with sweetness just by smelling the air. Can't wait to push the door in. See the dazzling cakes. The soft heart is completely melted.
The eyes are full of light. She pouted slightly. Look at each one carefully. Dazzling to see. I can't figure out which one to choose. Take out your phone. Just find a number to dial. But. Instead, she was like an electric shock. In the middle of a few tenths of a second before it is turned on. Hang up suddenly.
The word "Yan Rui" on the screen is extremely dazzling. Disappears as the screen dims... Xiao Xixi's heart jumped. How could I send him a conditional launch? Brother Rui. She sighed silently.
The gloom spread irresistibly from the bottom of her heart to Xiao Xixi's whole body. Standing in front of the glittering cake cabinet. Her eyes were filled with mist. But his thoughts turned upside down.
It's been a long time since we got in touch. It felt like a sudden-cut connection to the most intimate one. Xiao Xixi originally planned to deal with it calmly. Fade everything before. But. Unexpectedly. That little ache that comes out of the breath. It's still twilight today. Take advantage of the night to sneak in.
Except for the few years that Brother Rui went abroad. Birthday of each year. He participated without exception. Now that I think about it. But it's a luxury. She hesitated. Call him. Still is.... I didn't think of a question that I didn't even think about in previous years. Now it's messing her up.
"Miss. Welcome. Which cake would you like to order? The clerk in a European waiter jacket greeted her warmly. Look at the way she looks at the counter. Thought she was one of the OCD again.
"Choose..."Xiao Xixi replied mechanically. "Wait a minuteβ" was interrupted by another voice that shook her heartstrings.
"Pick this one. A large hand reached out. Point to the lemon mousse cake behind the glass cover. "30 inches. Next Wednesday. A calm tone. A faint sense of silence.
Xiao Xixi didn't dare to look at it suddenly. She felt like she had aphasia.
This voice. No doubt. She's so familiar. Yan Rui. I just don't know. Why did he suddenly appear here. In her unpreparedness. Appear around again.
Xiao Xixi was at a loss. Only the clerk's enthusiastic reply sounded in his ears: "Sir." Do you mean this 'Lemon Hong Kong Bay'? Door-to-door delivery. β
Looking at Yan Rui's calm face, he nodded. The clerk quickly took notes. The conditional launch site notification in the mouth: "'Ninghong Kong Bay'." Mousse cake. 30 inches. The creamy custard aroma is mixed with trace amounts of cocoa. The artistic beauty of memories. Next Wednesday... Some. β
The clerk asked Yan Rui. But he followed Yan Rui's gesture and turned to Xiao Xixi: "Miss." Your boyfriend wants to confirm with you what time it will be delivered. An unintentional word. But it made Xiao Xixi's face red. She wanted to explain. He's not a 'boyfriend' at all. but felt that the explanation was meaningless to the other party. Yan Rui stood next to him again. She had to think about it in a hurry: "At noon... 12 o'clock. β
I left the address. She walked out of the store with Yan Rui uncomfortably.
ββ¦ Brother Rui. How did you... Here it is. Xiao Xixi felt like her heart was being pulled by something. Under the weather. But. The more the two of them don't speak. It will be more awkward. The more awkward the air. She opened her mouth. Said something innocuous and insignificant.
Yan Rui replied lightly: "Pass by." Just happened to see you. β
Only he knows. From that day on. What a languishing day he had. Like a fool. Drive downstairs in Situ Yatai Group every day. Stop for more than an hour. Leave again.
Xiao Xixi doesn't appear every day. But from the day she appeared. He was wrapped in a glaring white bandage. His heart ached. But he didn't even have the courage to go over and ask.
Include. saw Xiao Xixi pitifully following behind Situ Leiyan and Gu Ruolan. The gloomy gaze of being ridiculed, when she was picked up by Zhong Yixuan. Reluctantly... But. He never dared to appear in front of her.
Since that night he woke up from his stupor. See the wide open doors and the mess that fills the house. Xiao Xixi's dress is actually by her side. His head hurt violently. Still chaotic. Call Gu Ruolan's phone again. Only then did I learn what was happening in the panic. He slammed his head hard. I don't understand how I did such a foolish thing.
One way or another. He must have hurt her.
