Chapter 40: Reversal
At night, two intertwined bodies were inseparable on the big bed, and suddenly the mobile phone on the bedside table rang. A chagrined voice sounded, and just when Qing Huan finally pushed Chen Yidong away, struggled to sit up, wrapped the ****'s body with a sheet, and reached out to get the phone, the ringtone stopped.
"It's so late?" Qing Huan looked at the missed call showing Chen Xi's name, and muttered a little strangely.
"Since she didn't continue to call, it means that there is nothing important. Chen Yidong lay sideways beside her, half-propped his head, and reached out to pull her, "Let's continue to ....."
"Don't make a fuss," Qing Huan laughed and broke free from his arms, "I have to give her a meeting, lest something happen again." ”
As he spoke, he sat up straight and turned Chen Xi back.
The phone was quickly connected, and Chen Xi's voice sounded with some hesitation, "Qinghuan, I haven't seen you come back in the past few days, are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm staying with a friend for a few days," Qing Huan's face was slightly hot, "Is there something wrong?"
Chen Yidong's fine kiss went all the way down her smooth back, and he bit her punitively when he heard her say the word friend.
Qing Huan couldn't prevent the pain, and almost screamed, and hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear that Chen Xi would hear something, while turning his head and glaring at Chen Yidong.
"Oh, I have something I want to find you, can we meet tomorrow?"
"Okay, no problem, why don't we have dinner together at noon tomorrow. After thinking about it, Qing Huan made an appointment with her at noon.
"Well, okay, I'll call you tomorrow at noon. After Chen Xi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
As soon as Qing Huan put the phone back in place, he was turned over and pressed on the bed by Chen Yidong again, he squinted, and his tone was a little dangerous: "Friend?"
Qing Huan giggled, stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, and her delicate and soft body was clinging to him, writhing a little restlessly.
Chen Yidong's body stiffened, his pupils darkened inadvertently, he restrained her with one hand, raised his two hands above his head, and pulled the thin quilt on her body with the other......
After getting up the next morning, Qing Huan helped him put his coat in the bag, and when the cleaning aunt came over, he sent it directly to be cleaned, and habitually touched the pocket of his clothes, but found that there was a bill inside, she opened it with some curiosity and took a look, and found that it was a receipt for the parking lot, which said XX Building, and the date happened to be yesterday at noon.
That building was at least half an hour's drive away from Fang Tong, Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, he just wanted to have lunch with him, and he made a special trip to say that he happened to be near Fang Tong, and then drove so far to pick her up?
Suddenly, there seemed to be a warm current slowly flowing through his heart, and the corners of Qing Huan's mouth rose irrepressibly.
At noon, she made an appointment with Chen Xi in a French restaurant near the company, and when she arrived, Chen Xi was already sitting inside, with one hand on the table and supporting her head, stunned and didn't know what she was thinking.
"I'm sorry, I'm late, what do you want to eat? Qing walked over happily and said with a smile.
"I just arrived, where can I give you a treat, since I made an appointment with you, naturally I should invite you to eat. Chen Xi smiled, and then said gratefully: "Besides, you helped me so much some time ago, and I haven't thanked you properly." ”
"Why are you so polite between you and me?" Qing Huan glanced at her, "Aren't those things that friends should have done?"
Chen Xi smiled slightly and didn't speak again.
Qing Huan glanced at her while pretending not to care, and saw that her face was normal, and there was occasionally a smile on her face, so she relieved her heart, and it seemed that she had come out of the shadow of that incident.
She ordered a steak, and asked Chen Xi for a foie gras, and when she was waiting for the dish, she looked at Chen Xi with a smile and said, "Is there anything that came to me today?"
"Qing Huan, do you know Chen Yidong, are you friends?" Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her in surprise, and paused before saying, "Why are you asking this?
Chen Xi's face suddenly turned red, she was silent for a moment, bit her lip, and then shook her head and said, "It's nothing, just ask." ”
Qing Huan was silent, and after a while, after the steak was served, she cut the steak into small pieces, and asked in a deep voice: "Xiaoxi, you are a person who can't hide your heart, don't you really want to tell me what's going on?"
Chen Xi was silent, and after a long time, he said slowly: "It was Wu Chuan who asked me to ask you, his brother seems to have a project that was originally cooperating with Chen Yidong, but then Chen Yidong suddenly stopped cooperating with his brother, he said that you know Chen Yidong, so you want me to ask you to see if you can ask him out for another meal." ”
It took Qing Huan a long time to digest what he had just heard, and a look of incredulity flashed on his face: "You still have a connection with Wu Chuan?!"
Chen Xi bit his lip, turned his face away, and didn't say anything.
"Xiaoxi, what are you thinking?" Qing Huan couldn't help but exhale, "He treated you like that, you actually still contacted him, and now you still come to be his lobbyist, is there anything wrong?"
"Qing Huan," Chen Xi turned his head and looked at her fixedly, "I know what I'm doing, and I don't need you to remind me what happened in the past, yes, he did something bad to me before, but I forgave him, and now we are officially together, this is my own life, and I don't need others to dictate to me, okay?"
The knife and fork in Qing Huan's hand suddenly slipped from her hand to the table, she looked at Chen Xi in disbelief, opened her mouth several times, but didn't say anything, and finally, she spoke slowly: "Xiaoxi, you're right, this is your life, others are not qualified to interfere with or question your choice, I apologize for what I just said, but I just hope you can be clear about what you're doing, some behaviors can't be forgiven, you know?"
Chen Xi didn't say anything, and after a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Qinghuan, I understand what you said, but I just want to follow my heart, I don't have feelings for Wu Chuan, and everyone drank that night, and it's normal for them not to control their behavior......"
"Xiaoxi, is this an excuse you are looking for him, or is this an excuse for yourself?" Qing Huan sighed, "Even if you had a good impression of him before and liked him, shouldn't you completely see this person's nature after this incident and stay away from him from now on?"
"Qinghuan, don't talk about it, at noon today, just because I haven't come to look for you, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Chen Xi stood up suddenly, took the bag, and left in a hurry.
Qing Huan sat there alone, only feeling uncomfortable in his chest, and slowly stuffed a mouthful of lettuce by himself, eating it with the same taste as chewing wax.
Since this unpleasant lunch, Qinghuan has rarely seen Chen Xi again, on the one hand, because she lives with Chen Yidong most of the time, and occasionally when she goes back to the apartment for a few days, either Chen Xi will sleep, or she has not returned home, sometimes she also wants to ask the old cat about their Chen Xi's current situation, but thinking of what she said that day, she gradually lost her mind. On the other hand, her work is really too busy, almost every day is working overtime, and when she comes out of the company, it is already the dead of night, fortunately, Chen Yidong also works a lot of overtime, so that the two of them can also make an appointment after work, go around to try the night snack in those unknown alleys, which can be regarded as having fun in the bitterness.
So it became their daily activity to eat a variety of different supper after working overtime.
On this day, Qing Huan finally found this small shop that is said to taste no less than his hometown Malatang, so he happily pulled Chen Yidong over, ordered a lot of things, and after seeing the boss turn around, he added: "Boss, let's have another bowl of duck blood." ”
"Order so much, have you finished eating?" Chen Yidong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this.
"Of course I can finish eating, I haven't eaten anything in the afternoon, so I'm just waiting for the evening to come. Qing Huan said with wide eyes.
"Didn't eat dinner?" Chen Yidong narrowed his eyes, "Waiting for this meal on a hungry stomach?"
Qing Huan was seen by him as weak-hearted, and hurriedly explained, "It's not specifically to wait for this meal, but I didn't have time to eat during the meeting, so I could only eat a cake to fill my stomach after the meeting." ”
Chen Yidong didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said directly: "If I find out in the future that you didn't eat dinner for supper, then our future supper activities will be canceled." ”
Qing Huan involuntarily pinched his stomach and nodded a little seriously, "I also think it's time to cancel the supper activity, if you eat like this, you will become a big fat man." ”
Chen Yidong glanced at her with a smile, "Who was the one who was sulking for a long time because he didn't eat shrimp wonton that day? That person is now saying that he wants to quit supper, do you believe it?"
Qinghuan: "......"
Soon the ordered dishes were served, there was a thick layer of red oil floating in the casserole, and the spicy and fragrant smell went straight to people's noses, smelling this long-lost taste, Qing Huan couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and he didn't care about what he had just said to quit supper, so he hurriedly put a chopstick beef in his mouth.
Chen Yidong only moved a few chopsticks, just took the mineral water on the table and drank it, and didn't move the chopsticks anymore.
"Isn't it delicious?" Qing Huan also put down his chopsticks after seeing this, "If you don't like Malatang, we can change it." ”
"No, I'm just not hungry. Chen Yidong smiled, "Didn't we eat together last time, I should have eaten more than you that time, right?"
Qing Huan thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he didn't ask anything more, and ate alone.
"Brother Yi Dong?" When he finished eating and was checking out at the door, a somewhat surprised voice suddenly came from behind, Qing Huan turned around and saw a young boy about twenty or so standing behind them, looking at Chen Yidong with an inexplicable expression.
"Xiao Yan, why are you here?" asked Chen Yidong with a slight frown.
"I'm supposed to ask why you're here, right?" the boy muttered, scratching the back of his head.
He really felt weird, how could his cousin, who had always been very particular about the quality of food and clothing, appear in such a place similar to a roadside stall.
