Chapter 65: Birthday
It wasn't until she sat in the restaurant, ordered a good meal, and waited for the food to be served, that the topic of Lin Wenxuan's birthday was brought up again.
"Xuanxuan, to be honest, I've always thought it was strange that you didn't have a birthday. I know you're not the type of person who likes to be boisterous, but at least you used to get your friends together, and now why?"
Yin Xinyan went straight to the point, eager to know the reason why Lin Wenxuan didn't have a birthday.
Even Qiao Mingjue didn't know the reason for this matter, if she knew it first, could she use the causes and consequences of this incident to destroy the relationship between Qiao Mingjue and Lin Wenxuan?
Xi Xi frowned, "I haven't heard you say it before, I want to help you celebrate!"
"I ...... I do have my own reasons, and Jiaxi knows about this matter. ”
Lin Wenxuan lowered her head, her voice was very soft, and a scar in her heart seemed to be uncovered again, which hurt very much.
Everyone was focused on listening to Lin Wenxuan's story, and Lin Wenxuan herself was immersed in it, and no one noticed the changes in Qin Jiaxi at all.
At this moment, Qin Jiaxi didn't know what they were talking about, he was a little sad and immersed in his own small world, reluctant to come out of it, and seemed to be preoccupied.
Yin Xinyan thought for a moment and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that you went back to Jinhai City with Qin Jiaxi on your birthday that year, and you didn't take any of us with you." But you don't seem to have celebrated your birthday since you came back from there?"
"Yes, because that year, that day, is the most unforgettable and painful memory for me. ”
Hearing Lin Wenxuan say this, Xi Xi and Yin Xinyan both quieted down for a moment.
"Because I've been studying in college here, I rarely go home, thinking that I happen to be free on my birthday, and Jiaxi is more familiar with my family, so I think the two of us will go back and have a happy birthday at home. But who knows, that day, an accident will befall my house like that......"
Even though so much time has passed, Lin Wenxuan still can't get out of the grief and self-blame in her heart.
"The weather in Gimhae City was not very good that day, it was raining, and it happened to be a Saturday, and the streets near my house were full of people. Knowing that Jiaxi brought me home for my birthday, my parents were very happy, and I thought about preparing a few more good dishes, so my father drove out to buy things. He knew I loved sweets, so he went to my favorite shop far away to buy me a cake.
Originally, he should have gone home after buying the cake, but unfortunately, there was a robbery near the cake shop he went to. My dad happened to come out of the cake shop and witnessed the man snatch the bag from the girl's hand, he put the cake on the ground, and chased after it without even thinking about it. Although my dad was fat, he was quite sharp, and he didn't run far before he caught up with the man. ”
Listening to Lin Wenxuan's story, Xi Xi and Yin Xinyan's hearts were raised.
"Actually, everything was going well, the man threw the bag down and ran away, and my dad returned the bag to the girl and was going to drive home to celebrate my birthday. But at that time, because I had waited at home for too long, my mother's dishes were ready, and my father hadn't come back yet, so I couldn't help but call him. On the phone, he told me that the cake had been bought and that he would be back soon. ”
Speaking of this, Lin Wenxuan sniffed, and her eyes were slightly red.
The content of that phone call was exceptionally simple, and between the lines, Lin Wenxuan even revealed a little dissatisfaction and complaints.
But who would have thought that it would be the last conversation between her and her father......
If time could be turned back, Lin Wenxuan would definitely not choose to say these irrelevant complaining words on the phone. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, and that phone call is still the thing that Lin Wenxuan regrets the most.
Xi Xi looked at Lin Wenxuan's so sad appearance, couldn't help but pick up the napkin on the table and handed it over, comforting softly: "Don't be sad, we can say anything slowly." ”
Xu is Xi Xi's words attracted Qin Jiaxi's attention, and Qin Jiaxi couldn't help but glance sideways at Lin Wenxuan beside him.
It's good to celebrate Xi Xi, why did Lin Wenxuan cry?
Seeing the depressed atmosphere at the table, Qin Jiaxi came back to her senses a little bit, and suddenly remembered that they had just asked Lin Wenxuan about her birthday before coming to dinner.
Qin Jiaxi looked at Lin Wenxuan with some distress, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.
I think that when the incident happened, he was by her side, witnessing the smile on her face disappearing little by little, watching her fall into self-blame and confusion, and personally accompanying her to walk out of the pain brought to her by this incident, it can be said that he fully understands her inner feelings.
It's a pity that in the face of all this, he can't help her in any way......
Lin Wenxuan held back her tears and continued softly: "Just because of a phone call, my dad rushed home in a hurry, and collided with a drunk rampage car on the road...... Me, Jiaxi, and my mom, the three of us just sat in the room and waited, but we never waited for my dad to come back, until my phone rang, and the silence was broken......
"The phone showed my dad's phone number, I was on fire, and when I picked up the phone, my tone was extremely impatient, and I wanted to ask him where he had gone, but the cold female voice on the other end of the phone really startled me. The phone call came from the hospital, and the nurse told me that my dad had been in a car accident and that by the time we rushed over, he had already died......
"Xuanxuan ......"
Yin Xinyan finally figured out the truth, but she felt very uncomfortable.
It turned out that Lin Wenxuan had experienced such a big thing at the beginning, but when she came back, she couldn't see anything abnormal, so she and Qiao Mingjue made a special trip to guess the reason.
"I didn't even see the last side of his life, only his cold corpse, and I was thinking at that time, if I hadn't called him to complain and didn't rush to urge him, he might not have had an accident, I ...... I ......"
Speaking of the back, Lin Wenxuan choked up, and she couldn't say a complete sentence.
Qin Jiaxi reached out and grabbed Lin Wenxuan's shoulder, asking Lin Wenxuan to lean her head on his shoulder, trying to bring her comfort.
This matter has always been a shadow in Lin Wenxuan's heart, she adjusted her state in the company of Qin Jiaxi, and kept silent about this matter as soon as she returned to Bihu City, as if she could completely forget these pains.
But Qin Jiaxi knew that Lin Wenxuan couldn't forget it at all.
A year after Lin Wenxuan's father died, although she knew that Lin Wenxuan would never celebrate her birthday, because she was not at ease, Qin Jiaxi still made a special trip to buy a chocolate cake to visit her at Lin Wenxuan's house.
At that time, Qin Jiaxi knew that every time it was her birthday, her mood would not be too good.
The days went on like this, and in the blink of an eye, Qin Jiaxi couldn't count how many birthdays Lin Wenxuan hadn't had, and Lin Wenxuan herself seemed to have become numb, as if that day was not her birthday at all, and it gradually became a habit.
Today, this matter has been brought up again, no wonder Lin Wenxuan is so sad.
Xi Xi never thought that Lin Wenxuan would have such a tragic experience, she looked at her on weekdays and loved to laugh, but she didn't expect that there would be such a big scar in her heart.
Lin Wenxuan cried on Qin Jiaxi's shoulder for a while, and immediately adjusted her state.
"Xi Xi, I'm sorry, today is a happy day for you to win the award, I shouldn't cry. ”
"Xuanxuan, don't say that, you're too much of a stranger to me. I understand you, so let's stop talking about these sad and sad things, life has to go on, and we should make ourselves sunny and cheerful, right?"
Xi Xi could completely see that Lin Wenxuan cared about her family very much, which made her a little envious.
All the glory she has today has been earned by her own efforts, but no matter how many achievements and praise she has, it is far less important than the warmth and care that her family brings to you.
Although Lin Wenxuan's father passed away, her home is at least warm, and she grew up under the watering of love.
Xi Xi is different, although her parents are good, she has no feelings for them.
Imagine if one day, they also left Xi Xi, Xi Xi felt that he would not be as sad as Lin Wenxuan.
It's all false to say that they are not sad, after all, they are also Xi Xi's family, and no amount of hatred is better than this person disappearing directly in the world. It's just that Xi Xi really doesn't want to shed too many tears for them.
If she continues to think like this, she will become unhappy, so don't mention these things again.
"Okay, okay, let's be happy, let's get ready to eat!"
Yin Xinyan looked at the dishes that were still steaming on the table, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she smiled and picked up the chopsticks first.
Without hesitation, she picked up a sweet and sour shrimp, deliberately turned around on the plate in front of Lin Wenxuan and Xi Xi, and finally put it on her own plate and enjoyed it happily.
Lin Wenxuan and Xi Xi glanced at each other, and the two of them burst out laughing, and also picked up chopsticks and started eating.
The lights in the hotel were bright, and as soon as Lin Wenxuan's hand was raised, Qin Jiaxi saw the diamond ring she was wearing again.
His heart was as uncomfortable as a pinprick, Qin Jiaxi closed his eyes and forced himself to stop thinking about it.
As she grows up, Lin Wenxuan has been relieved of many things, but when will Qin Jiaxi really let go?
This relationship, he hid it in his heart for too long, until he was about to get used to it, and then he realized that everything had already become a foregone conclusion, and he was just an outsider.
But this is not the saddest thing for him, the saddest thing for him is that Lin Wenxuan didn't tell him about it.
Although this is Lin Wenxuan's own business, and it has nothing to do with Qin Jiaxi, Qin Jiaxi has always thought that he is her most trusted good friend, and she will never have secrets about him.
Obviously, this was the case when they were children, they should have talked about everything, but why has it changed now?
Is Lin Wenxuan changing, or is he expecting too much?
Looking at Lin Wenxuan, who had recovered her spirits, Qin Jiaxi was stunned again, and the whole person seemed absent-minded.
Is it really impossible for him and her to have a result?
If time can be turned back, Qin Jiaxi really wants to go back to when he was a child, and Lin Wenxuan's childhood sweetheart, never grow up again, never be separated again.
