Chapter 81: One Last Chance
Hearing the name Yan Mo, Shi Xia was slightly stunned, and looked at Yan Mo with a little imperceptible exploration and scrutiny.
Yan Mo smiled inconspicuously.
Before Shi Xia spoke, she added: "Words of words, silent silence, just now I heard that Miss Ruan Shi is a medical genius, and she has made a lot of achievements at a young age, which is really admirable." ”
Stretched out his hand towards Shi Xia: "I hope that in the future, we can also become friends." ”
Out of politeness, Shi Xia reached out and shook her hand: "My name is Shi Xia." ”
Yan Mo said, "Before you came, Miss Ruan introduced us to us. ”
Ruan Jiahuan said to Shi Xia: "Xia Xia, you won't blame me, you didn't leave you a chance to introduce yourself, right?"
Shi Xia smiled: "Let me introduce myself, I really don't have anything to say except for the name." After all, she didn't want to brag about her academic qualifications.
Tang Ting saw that Shi Xia and Yan Mo were both standing, and hurriedly beckoned: "Sit down." ”
Shi Xia said, "Thank you." ”
sat down beside Ruan Jiahuan.
Tang Ting handed over the menu: "Miss Shi, when we meet for the first time, we don't know what you like to eat." You look at the menu and order a few dishes that you like to eat. ”
Shi Xia politely pushed back: "I'm not a picky eater." ”
Ruan Jiahuan took the menu and put it in front of her domineeringly: "Order, don't shirk." I didn't want to invite you out for a meal, so I turned around and Qiao Jin Sheng came over and said that I didn't care about your fullness. ”
At the mention of Qiao Jin Sheng, an unnatural look flashed in Yan Mo's eyes.
Picking up the juice, blocking out the real expression.
Of course, Shi Xia spoke for Qiao Jin Sheng: "How can he be so domineering and unreasonable as you say?"
Ruan Jiahuan: "He is only reasonable to you, but it is different for us." Shaking his head as he spoke, he must order a few more dishes in Shi Xia, for fear that he would be picked on by Qiao Jin Sheng if he treated Shi Xia badly.
Shi Xia is better than obeying his fate.
Looking at the menu, ask, "What have you ordered?"
Ruan Jiahuan reported them to her one by one.
Shi Xia said: "It's already so much. ”
Yan Mo spoke: "The taste of the dishes in this shop is very pure, you can order a few more things to taste, I guarantee that you have eaten it once, and you will remember it next time." ”
Shi Xia responded with an "oh" and picked two light orders.
Tang Ting beckoned the waiter over, returned the menu, told her about the two new dishes, and asked Shi Xia: "Miss Shi, what do you drink?"
Shi Xia saw the juice in front of the three of them, and said casually: "Juice." ”
The waiter said, "Freshly squeezed juice includes papaya, mango, ......"
Shi Xia: "Papaya." ”
The waiter said, "Okay, you wait. ”
Turned around and walked away.
Shi Xia saw that Yan Mo heard the word "papaya" Shi Xia, and glanced at her very vaguely, and immediately understood what she meant.
I smiled to myself.
She didn't explain that she was the first to report papaya because the waiter was the first to report it, and she casually ordered the necessity.
When the juice came up and the dishes were served, Yan Mo was the first to pick up the cup and said to Ruan Jiahuan and Shi Xia: "I'm very happy to meet you, I, like Tingting, just came back from abroad." The city is developing so fast, and the current Jiangcheng is so different from before I left, almost all of them have to be described as unfamiliar. I hope that if time permits, you can give us a guide and take us to reacquaint ourselves with this modern metropolis. ”
Tang Ting echoed: "What I said silently is right, when I came back, I found that Jiangcheng has changed so much, and the roads I used to take have been renamed, if I didn't use navigation these days, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find my home." If we have time, we can hang out together. ”
Ruan Jiahuan said: "I have no problem. ”
The three of them looked at Shi Xia at the same time, waiting for her answer.
Shi Xia smiled politely and amiably: "I'm afraid that the time is inappropriate, and the New Year is coming soon, and I have to submit an internship report to the school." ”
The cup touched the three of them: "But I'm still happy to know you." ”
Tang Ting doesn't care.
Yan Mo looked a little disappointed.
Putting down the cup, she asked, "I heard that Miss Shi is interning in the People's Hospital, I don't know which department she is in?"
It's really a pot that can't be opened.
Shi Xia couldn't say that too many things had happened during her time in the hospital, and the vice president felt that she was a troublemaker, so she temporarily suspended her internship, right? ”
Yan Mo said "oh": "That's a pity." ”
Shi Xia was puzzled: "What are you sorry about?"
Yan Mo sighed lightly: "My grandma is not feeling well, I want to take her to the hospital for a check-up, and I have acquaintances in the hospital to rest assured." ”
Shi Xia said: "Miss Yan can rest assured that no matter whether there are acquaintances or not, the hospital and doctors will be responsible for the patients. ”
Yan Mo was grateful: "Hearing you say this, I'm relieved." ”
When the cup was placed, Shi Xia saw Tang Ting, who was sitting opposite, with doubts in her eyes, with an expression that she wanted to ask but couldn't ask, and she wanted to say something.
She also had some doubts in her heart.
Halfway through the meal, Shi Xia received a call from Qiao Jin Sheng. I said hello to them and got up to answer the phone.
The man over there asks three questions every day: What are you doing? Have you eaten, who are you with?
Shi Xia smiled and answered one by one.
When mentioning being with Ruan Jiahuan, Tang Ting, and Yan Mo, the man pondered for a moment and asked, "Why are you with them?"
Shi Xia said: "The place where Yan Mo lives is very close to me, so Huanhuan called me over." ”
Qiao Jin Sheng thought of the woman he met in the cinema.
Beautiful, generous, but always can't make people feel good, maybe he thinks too much, and always feels like they are deliberately approaching Shi Xia.
A faint reminder: "Just have a casual meal." ”
The implication is that there is no need to make deep friends.
Shi Xia heard the meaning of his words, and deliberately found fault: "Mr. Qiao, is this planning to interfere with my freedom of making friends before he gets married?"
Qiao Jin Sheng has a strong desire to survive: "Don't dare." ”
Shi Xia said: "I have my own number, you can rest assured." "She has been cheated once, haven't you polished your eyes and recognized people's hearts in this life?
Qiao Jinsheng: "I'm going to pick you up at night?"
Shi Xia replied: "Something?"
The man said mysteriously, "I'll tell you when we meet." ”
Shi Xia whispered: "Sell Guanzi." ”
Qiao Jin Sheng: "It's not a short time, go back quickly, I'll call you later." ”
Shi Xia: "Okay. ”
"Goodbye. ”
"Bye. ”
After Shi Xia finished speaking, he put the phone to his ear and waited for four or five seconds, but it hadn't hung up yet. After waiting for another three seconds, I finally couldn't help but speak: "Why don't you hang up?"
Qiao Jin Sheng: "Wait for you to hang." ”
Shi Xia: "This time you go first." ”
Qiao Jinsheng: "Then let's talk for a while?"
Shi Xia: "You're not busy?"
Qiao Jinsheng looked up at the assistant who had been standing in front of him for two or three minutes, lowered his eyes, and in the assistant's complaining eyes, he said as a matter of course: "There is still time to call my wife." ”
The low-alcohol voice is extremely good, and the softness in Shi Xia's heart seems to have been hit, and it is a soft mess.
She was in the hallway, and from time to time someone passed by.
Seeing a girl smirking at the phone, people can't help but think of the word "love", and the girl looks really pleasing to the eye, so they can't help but take a few more looks.
came and went, Shi Xia was a little unbearable.
Someone happened to be walking from the side, and his eyes glanced at Shi Xia from time to time, Shi Xia glanced at him, and he immediately pretended to be casual and walked forward.
He said to the other end of the phone, "I'm back, bye-bye." ”
The man answered.
Shi Xia didn't wait for him to hang up the phone, but hung up quickly and went back to the room.
The three of them didn't know what they were talking about, and they were smiling very happily.
As soon as she came back, Ruan Jiahuan said, "Xia Xia, you came back just in time, we just talked about the charity auction held every year in the city. In the past, it was held after the Spring Festival, but this year it was brought forward to December 20. At that time, you should also hand in your internship report, so let's go to the excitement together. ”
Shi Xia knew about the charity auction in the city.
When her father was around, she would participate every year, and she would also do her best to take pictures of some items to support charity.
But that's in the past.
At that time, her parents had jobs, she didn't have to earn money to support her family, and she was free to use scholarships and awards from following teachers to do projects.
Now she doesn't dare to spend money indiscriminately.
Even if you go to a charity auction, you probably won't be able to make much contribution.
Just wanted to politely refuse, Yan Mo said: "Charity has no size, even if you don't buy their auction items, it's not bad to have a show." Charity itself is about doing what you can. ”
In this way, Shi Xia couldn't say no.
Nodding in agreement: "Okay." ”
Another reason for agreeing is that in addition to the items that are normally obtained through donation channels, some of the items that participate in the auction are obtained from officials.
For example, corrupt officials.
Some of the confiscated items from them will be used for charity auctions.
Shi Xia thought to herself that maybe she would see her father's things here, and if she could, she wanted to get back those things that should have belonged to him.
Seeing Shi Xia nodded, Yan Mo was very happy.
Raising the juice glass, he said, "Then it's decided, see you or leave." ”
Tang Ting: "See you or leave." ”
Ruan Jiahuan also said: "See you and leave." ”
Shi Xia also raised his glass.
Before the end, at Tang Ting's suggestion, the four of them added WeChat to each other and left their phone numbers.
In fact, it is not four people, Tang Ting and Ruan Jiahuan are old acquaintances, and they have each other's contact information for a long time. It was Shi Xia who added Tang Ting and Yan Mo.
Coming out of the restaurant, Yan Mo took the initiative to say to Shi Xia: "I'm still a little familiar here, can I send you back?"
Shi Xia said: "Thank you, but don't bother." My house is only a few hundred meters away from here, and you have to cross the road, so it's faster to walk than to drive. ”
Yan Mo glanced at the opposite community.
The commercial community developed in the early years has a complete range of supporting facilities, and the greening is not as good as the current commercial community. At that time, there were fewer cars, there were few parking spaces planned in the community, and the roads were congested.
At first glance, it is dirty and messy.
Across the river, diagonally opposite is the municipal community. The sanitation and greening in the community are not comparable here.
Yan Mo frowned: "Is Miss Shi going here?"
Shi Xia said: "It is convenient to do the internship, and I go to the city hospital here, and I can get there by bus in three stops. ”
Yan Mo nodded: "Pay more attention to safety." ”
Shi Xia didn't expect her to say this, and she was suddenly a little surprised, and she didn't have time to think about the meaning behind what she said, and replied politely: "Thank you for reminding me, I will." ”
took a step forward and looked at Ruan Jiahuan and Tang Ting again: "I'll go back first." ”
specially said to Ruan Jiahuan: "Thank you for your hospitality, please invite you another day." ”
Ruan Jiahuan was not polite to her: "Don't change the day, let's just call Qiao Jin Sheng next Tuesday, let's get together next Tuesday, and find that since he has you, he doesn't want our brothers." ”
Shi Xia: "I'll tell him what I said." ”
Ruan Jiahuan: "Okay. ”
Shi Xia waved at them, there was just a green light in front of her, she walked a few steps quickly and walked towards the entrance of the community.
Ruan Jiahuan also waved at Yan Mo and Tang Ting and said, "I have to go home in the afternoon, and the old man suddenly worries about my life's events, and I have to go back to do work." ”
Tang Ting said: "It's time to find a boyfriend, you can't be single." ”
Ruan Jiahuan: "Introduce me to one?"
Tang Ting and Ruan Jiahuan are also friends from childhood to adulthood, they can afford to joke, hearing Ruan Jiahuan say this, they replied quickly: "I am the only one with the resources in my hand, or do you ignore the gender?"
Ruan Jiahuan waved his hand directly: "I'm afraid that the old man will directly arrest me and get married." ”
Go down the stairs: "Let's go." ”
Tang Ting: "Next time." ”
Ruan Jiahuan: "Okay. ”
When Ruan Jiahuan walked away, Tang Ting smiled and asked Yan Mo with a puzzled expression: "This meal is not so delicious, why did you choose here." ”
Yan Mo didn't answer and asked: "Isn't it delicious?"
Tang Ting: "Do you think it's delicious? You won't stay in the romantic nation for a long time, and even the standards of good and bad taste have been lowered, right?"
Yan Mo smiled: "Of course...... Nope!"
Without explanation, I went down the stairs and went to the parking lot.
Tang Ting still has something to figure out.
However, Yan Mo had already walked away, and she walked a few steps quickly to chase after her.
In the evening, Qiao Jin Sheng arrived as promised.
Shi Xia received a call and went downstairs, the man stood on the side of the car, stepped forward to give her a big hug, and his soft lips with a hint of coolness were imprinted on her forehead.
The lunar calendar is about to arrive in December, and the weather is cold.
Shi Xia held his somewhat cold hand and said distressedly, "Why don't you wait in the car?"
The man's hand came out of her hand and held her hand in the palm of his hand to keep her warm. Pleasant voice: "I want to see you sooner." ”
Shi Xia: "...... It's time to open the door. ”
The man said, "One second is also waiting." After speaking, he lowered his eyes and stared at Shi Xia's face: "Did you let you bring anything you bring?"
Shi Xia nodded: "Bring it." ”
There are also doubts: "What are you asking me to do with my passport at night?"
The man's voice came from overhead, firm and resolute: "Go get the certificate." ”
Get a certificate?
Shi Xia was a little confused.
Qiao Jin Sheng pulled her around, opened the door and stuffed her into the car, and followed her into the car.
At this time, Shi Xia realized that Qiao Jinsheng did not come by car.
In the driver's seat, Qiao Yi turned his head and greeted: "Miss Shi, long time no see." ”
Shi Xia thought about it, it had been more than half a month since the last time, and compared to the frequency of their previous meetings, the time was indeed a little longer. Laughed back: "It's been a long time since I saw you." ”
Qiao Yi just said hello.
Without any further words, he turned his head and concentrated on driving.
The Rolls-Royce drove out of the neighborhood very quickly.
Shi Xia couldn't suppress the shock in her heart, and asked Qiao Jin Sheng: "It's a big night, are you kidding?" When the man said that he was coming at night, she felt that he was holding things in his heart. But getting a certificate is nothing else, it's a matter of a lifetime, a little sloppy at night, right?
Qiao Jin Sheng saw her thoughts and asked, "Do you want to regret it?"
The word "no" came to her mouth, and before Shi Xia could say it, the man stepped forward and kissed her the lips: "It's too late to regret it." ”
Shixia: "......"
What else did she do?
Looking around, the Civil Affairs Bureau at this point is definitely not working. Besides, even if she goes to work at the Civil Affairs Bureau, she is not of legal age and cannot get a marriage certificate.
Suddenly thinking of the passport he asked her to carry, could it be true as he said, to go abroad to get the certificate?
Her passport has been issued a long time ago, but she doesn't need a visa to go out?
Thinking wildly in my head.
It didn't take long for Rolls-Royce to drive into Qiao Jinsheng's home.
Instead of stopping at the villa, he entered from the front, passed through a door at the back, and continued to drive ahead. After about a few minutes, the car stopped.
After getting out of the car, Shi Xia found out that there was a tarmac behind the villa.
A helicopter is already waiting.
Shixia: "......"
Qiao Jinsheng stood opposite her and asked very seriously: "Finally, I will give you another chance to regret it, as long as you get on the plane, you can only be my Qiao Jinsheng's woman in this life." ”
Shi Xia looked at the plane, and then looked at the car next to him.
Qiao Yi seemed to realize something, started the car slowly, with a throttle, the car bypassed the helicopter, and ran away in the direction of return.
Shixia: "......"
In addition to helicopters, only in Joe's car that came.
As soon as he left, only the helicopter was left.
Did Qiao Yi deprive her of another choice?
His eyelids lifted and he looked at Qiao Jin Sheng.
Qiao Jin Sheng's eyes were indifferent, and his hands naturally copied into his trouser pockets, his face was calm and innocent, as if Qiao Yi drove away this matter, and it had nothing to do with him.
Shi Xia Xin said: If it wasn't for his signal, Qiao Yi would dare to run away by himself?
With a smile, he walked towards the helicopter: "I used to use passenger planes when I went out, but I haven't made a helicopter yet!"
The corners of Qiao Jinsheng's lips raised.
The moment Shi Xia looked at Qiao Yi just now, he did chuckle in his heart. For fear that she would regret it temporarily and follow Qiao Yi away, she would tell Qiao Yi in advance and leave immediately after sending them off. Although he also knew that if Shi Xia wanted to refuse, even if he made this place an isolated area, she would not agree.
Shi Xia walked to the door, and Qiao Jin Sheng took the car door to let her go up.
I went around to the other side and got on the plane as well.
Strap her headphones and safety belts on.
Shi Xia looked at him nervously: "You...... Do you want to drive it yourself?" The helicopter is not small, and there are seats in the back, but there are only two of them on the plane!
It made her nervous.
Qiao Jinsheng said: "We don't need others to disturb our two-person world. ”
Looking at the dense array ahead, the instrument that seemed very complicated to Shi Xia began to operate.
Shi Xia wanted to say that she didn't mind being disturbed at all, after all, compared to the lives of two people, she felt that space was really not very important.
But that thought was soon dispelled.
The plane flew into the sky, except for some bumps and tilts when it lifted off, and soon entered a state of equilibrium, and there was not much difference between flat and flat.
Qiao Jinsheng said: "Don't be nervous, we won't go abroad with this." ”
Even if she wasn't scared, he was worried that the little plane wouldn't allow them to arrive safely. How can you take such a risk as getting married as something to celebrate?
Helicopters are in a hurry.
Half an hour later, the plane landed at Haicheng International Airport.
There are already people waiting at the airport.
As soon as they landed, someone came to help them collect their luggage and take them to the space building to check in.
Shi Xia was covered with only two things, a passport and a mobile phone.
Until she passed the security check and arrived at the boarding gate, she was still like a dream, and looked at Qiao Jinsheng with doubts from time to time.
Qiao Jin Sheng held her hand tightly: "You have nothing, remember to follow me." ”
Shixia: "......"
I feel that the man did it on purpose.
Foreign payments are not necessarily as convenient as those in China, and a mobile phone can go all over the world. She didn't even have her wallet with her, and if she got lost, she didn't even have the money to buy a ticket back to China.
Suddenly remembering something, she exclaimed, "I need to call my mother." ”
When she went downstairs, Xu Wenjing happened to be in the living room, and told her to go home early when it was cold. She's good, she's gone abroad this time, let alone go home early, it is estimated that she won't be able to return home for a while.
called Xu Wenjing: "Mom, I'm ......"
You can't say that you go abroad to get a permit, right?
Scared my mom again.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wenjing already knew, and there was joy in the elder's loving voice: "Xiaosheng has already told my mother." Outside is no more than at home, and you should pay more attention to safety when you go out. Don't be willful, and don't run around alone. ”
Shi Xia choked.
She didn't hear Xu Wenjing's words clearly, she only heard the sentence "Xiaosheng has already told her mother".
He told his mother?
looked up at Qiao Jin Sheng.
The man smiled faintly at Hao, as if waiting for her gaze.
Shi Xia heard the phone again, and her mother said: "Mom is from here, a man doesn't care about you, Mom can see it." Xiaosheng is really good to you, and my mother is really happy for you to see that you can come to this day. ”
Shi Xia muttered, "Thank you, Mom." ”
Xu Wenjing said: "Silly boy, don't worry, go home early." ”
When the phone hung up, Shi Xia couldn't tell what mood he was in, looking at Qiao Jin Sheng's gaze, he was moved, surprised, and more liked.
No matter how much emotion there is, it finally turns into two words, which overflow from the lip flap: "Thank you." ”
Qiao Jin Sheng said: "What are you polite to your husband?"
Shi Xia blinked.
Yes, what's so polite about my husband?
In a few hours, as soon as the marriage certificate arrives, he will be his husband protected by the law, and there is no need to be polite.
Thinking of this, she deliberately lowered her face: "Then can you explain to me, why do we need to get the certificate, my mother knew earlier than me?"
Luckily, she wasn't going to lie, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to do it.
The man closed his eyes.
When Shi Xia thought that he couldn't find an excuse and was about to make trouble, he smiled and said, "If you want to cheat your daughter away, you have to pass the mother-in-law's level." ”
Shi Xia: "Cunning!"
At this time, a voice came from the airport radio: "......"
