Chapter 163: The Man Who Can't Stand Being Lonely
At noon the next day, in a teahouse. Xia Xizhi carried his bag and walked towards the front with apprehension. Under the leadership of the waiter, Xia Xizhi came to the VIP seat.
Bending politely to the old man sitting in the seat, Xia Xizhi said respectfully: "Grandpa." ”
The old man had a gentle smile on his face, and the movements in his hands did not pause, and he said with a smile: "It's a pity, sit down, grandpa will personally make you a cup of tea today." ”
Xia Xizhi agreed with a smile, and then sat down opposite him. Putting his hands in front of him, Xia Xizhi looked at his skillful tea-making movements, and said with a smile: "Grandpa looks like a professional tea maker, and his skills must be good." ”
"I'm so good at this, I went to learn it when I was young. The old man said kindly, "If you are idle, you can make a cup of tea by yourself, drink tea and chat with your friends for many years, and the days will pass like this." While speaking, the old man brought the brewed tea to Xia Xizhi.
Xia Xizhi picked up the teacup, opened the lid, and bursts of fragrance swept in. "Well, that's delicious. Xia Xizhi finished with a smile and took a sip. I didn't swallow it directly, but let the tea run in my mouth. Immediately, a thick fragrance flowed between the teeth.
Seeing her tea-tasting action, the old man was surprised: "You also like to drink tea?"
Putting down the teacup, Xia Xizhi explained with a smile: "I'm okay, my mother also likes to drink tea, and she often poured these at home before her death." Grandpa's tea-making skills are very high, the tea is fragrant, the tea is sweet, and it is a good cup of tea. ”
Nodding with satisfaction, the old man picked up the teacup and drank it elegantly.
Seeing that the air was full of silence, Xia Xizhi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "Grandpa, are you looking for me today for the sake of repairing Chongqing?"
Seeing that she took the initiative to break this layer of paper, the old man nodded, and didn't want to beat around the bush anymore, and said, "Not bad." I've also seen the news about Xiuyu these days, and he rarely goes home. ”
"Hmm. Xia Xizhi nodded truthfully.
Looking at her, the old man sighed and said, "Xiuyu, this child, because of his parents, it is difficult to invest in his feelings. So after knowing that he likes you, I'm actually very happy. It's just that I didn't expect you to have this kind of relationship. ”
Hearing this, Xia Xizhi replied with a wry smile: "Yes, I didn't expect it either." It's not easy for me to start a new relationship. ”
"It's a bit cruel, but Grandpa still hopes that you can take the initiative to leave him. The old man continued, "Unfortunately, you are a good boy. But according to my understanding of Xiu Yu, and the deep relationship between him and his mother, he will not accept you. It's not good for anyone if you stay together again. ”
had already expected the reason why the old man saw her today, Xia Xizhi looked at him and said slowly: "Grandpa, I know this." However, I like him and I don't want to leave, let alone end. ”
With helplessness on his face, the old man said heavily: "But your father did directly cause the death of Xiuyu's mother, and this cannot be changed." ”
"I know. Xia Xizhi lowered his eyes, "But even if I knew, I couldn't convince myself to leave." ”
Frowning, the old man was silent. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "It's a pity, it won't be good for you to continue to be entangled like this." And do you think that your persistence is good for Xiuyu?"
Knowing what he meant, Xia Xizhi clenched his fists tightly: "I ......"
"You're selfish. The old man said coldly.
Hearing his evaluation, Xia Xizhi smiled simply: "Yes, I never deny this." ”
"You base your happiness on the pain of Xiuyu. The old man added, "Would you be happy to see that he doesn't come home every day, but just drinks? ”
His face was a little pale, and Xia Xizhi was silent. Seeing her head down, the old man did not continue to force. stood up and said indifferently: "You think about my words, if you really like Xiuyu, take the initiative to leave him." Leave now to save face for each other. ”
Leaving these words, the old man left on crutches, leaving Xia Xizhi who was stunned.
Slowly spread out his palms, seeing that his palms were full of sweat stains, Xia Xizhi smiled palely. Now this situation is obviously not caused by her, but she has to bear it, hehe...... Leaving the teahouse, Xia Xizhi did not go back to the company directly, but walked aimlessly. Looking at the yellowing leaves, Xia Xizhi stopped and watched the leaves fall. She was very worried that her relationship with Ji Xiuyu would eventually leave, just like this fallen leaf.
Unconsciously, Xia Xizhi walked to a certain building. A casual glance was taken, only to see a familiar figure appear in the crowd. He is very tall, standing in the crowd and always standing out quite well. Looking at him blankly, Xia Xizhi forgot to breathe.
As if there was a gap in her sight, Ji Xiuyu looked in her direction, and the eyes of the two met in the air. It's just that in the next second, Ji Xiuyu left his sight coldly.
Seeing this, Xia Xi's heart tightened, but he took a step forward and walked towards him. If it weren't for such a chance encounter, when would the two of them say goodbye?
When he came to his car, Xia Xizhi stopped him: "Xiuyu, I have something to say to you." ”
With one hand in his trouser pocket, Ji Xiuyu looked at her expressionlessly, waiting for the following.
Standing half a meter away from him, Xia Xizhi showed a very shallow smile: "At night, go home." You've been out for the night lately and I'm worried you won't sleep well. ”
"No, I'm used to hotel rooms. At the beginning, didn't we often meet at the hotel?" Ji Xiuyu said lightly.
There was a momentary stiffness on his face, and Xia Xizhi's eyelashes trembled: "I know." It's just that you drink out every day, and grandpa is a little worried about you. ”
His eyes narrowed, and Ji Xiuyu's eyes were full of dangerous information: "You want to threaten me with grandpa?"
Shaking his head, Xia Xizhi said calmly: "It's just to express grandpa's heart." I know you don't want to go home, you don't want to be under the same roof as me. But, after all, that's your home. Tonight I will be moving my luggage out of the bedroom and into the guest room for the time being. ”
Looking at her appearance, Ji Xiuyu said lightly: "If you can't stand the loneliness, you can leave." ”
With a faint smile, Xia Xizhi said slowly: "I'm not the kind of person who is hungry and thirsty and can't bear loneliness. ”
"Really?" he said, with a palpable sarcasm and suspicion that pierced her heart deeply. But Xia Xizhi didn't show a sad expression, just kept smiling.
Without waiting for her to answer, Ji Xiuyu bent down and walked into the car. Sitting in the passenger seat, he said coldly: "Let's go." ”
Kang Kang glanced at Xia Xi sympathetically, then bent down and sat in the driver's seat and drove Ji Xiuyu away.
Xia Xizhi stood in place, watching the dust rise in the air.
