Chapter 47: The Heart Knot
"Actually...... I don't know these things, I just went home to see the progress of the renovation of the house, and then asked where you went to hide, but I happened to meet Gong Xi downstairs, and I guessed that you must have come back to live here. Try to come and knock on the door, you're here!" Shirayuki replied.
She couldn't say what the reason was, she just instinctively didn't want to tell Jiang Cheng that the reason why she found this place so accurately was because Xiao Geyan provided clues and sent her over.
Thinking of this, Bai Xue secretly glanced at the wall clock on the wall. I don't know if Xiao Geyan sent Gong Xi home "by the way" at this time, and whether Gong Xi would take the opportunity to invite Xiao Geyan to sit down.
Thinking about it like this, Bai Xue felt a little impetuous, and she almost couldn't sit still.
But if you can't sit still, you still have to hold on, after all, Jiang Cheng is because he was injured, and he is coming to visit the wounded now, if he sits for so many minutes and leaves in a hurry, it will be too much.
So she tried her best to block out the distracting thoughts in her mind, calm down and chat with Jiang Cheng, and help him adjust his mood. At first, she was still trying to find a topic, but then Jiang Cheng met and occupied the leading position of the conversation, although he was injured, but on the whole the mood and state were relatively good, chatting and chatting, Bai Xue's mood also became better under his drive, and the two chatted unconsciously for more than an hour.
"Oh, it's already this time!" Bai Xue's mobile phone vibrated a little, she felt it out and saw that it was an advertising text message, but at the same time, it also made her see the current time, "I have to go back, and staying any longer will affect your rest! Is there anything else I can help with? If there is, just say it, don't be polite to me, after all, how to say that your injury is also caused by me, if I can do something to express my apologies, my heart will be better." ”
"I do need help with something, but it doesn't seem appropriate for you to help me. Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you still have a case at hand that you need to be busy with recently?" Then you can be busy with your serious business, when you are done, or when you have nothing to do, just come and chat with me, the wounded and sick!"
Bai Xue also realized that Jiang Cheng was in this situation right now, and it might be something that needed help, and she really couldn't help it, so she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and her cheeks were slightly red.
"Okay, then you can recuperate, if there is anything missing at home, just call me, and I'll send it to you! Also, when you go to the hospital to remove the stitches and change the dressing or something, just call me!" Bai Xue could only start from the aspect where she had a way to help, and only hoped to be able to do something for Jiang Cheng and compensate him a little.
Because Jiang Cheng was injured, he didn't get up to send Bai Xue out, Bai Xue asked him to live well, don't move, go out of the door of Jiang Cheng's house alone, and gently help him close the door outside.
Originally, Bai Xue was still thinking about whether to go to her house to take a look, but when she walked to the door, she was a little retreated, and the key had not yet been inserted into the keyhole, and the picture of the kitchen explosion that day involuntarily appeared in her mind, Bai Xue realized that she had such a deep psychological shadow, and that fear was impossible to control, as if she walked in, and the house would explode again.
Thinking of this, Bai Xue's nose became sour for a while, and tears almost filled her eyes.
This home is her most precious place, and it is also the most reassuring harbor! There are many good memories of their family of three, no matter how hard and sad they are outside, they will feel a lot more relaxed when they return home, and the uneasiness in their hearts will slowly fade away at home.
However, this most precious destination in her heart has now turned into a knot.
Bai Xue felt that the treasure she had always cherished had been destroyed like this, and the house could be repaired, and it could even be redecorated more beautifully, but the original sense of security and belonging could never be recovered, and maybe it would never be recovered.
She stood in front of her house for a few minutes, the sensor light in the hallway turned on and off, went out and on, and finally she decided to give up, sighed, and turned around and walked to the elevator.
On the way down the elevator, Bai Xue stood silently, recalling a lot of past things in her mind, happy, unhappy, feeling like a pot of porridge in her head, bubbling and bubbling, noisy and chaotic.
When she got to the first floor, she walked out of the elevator with her head down, walked towards the unit door, and walked a few steps to find a person standing in front of her.
The man didn't move, he still stood there, and he didn't move forward.
Bai Xue was a little alert and immediately raised her head to look at the person's appearance, this look really startled her, the person standing not far in front of her was the initiator who made her a little restless - Xiao Geyan, and Xiao Geyan had obviously been standing there for a while, his posture looked a little stiff, seeing that Bai Xue had found himself, he moved his feet a little bit, took two steps towards Bai Xue, and turned around to go outside with her.
"Why are you here? Didn't you send Gong Xi back by the way?" Bai Xue didn't realize how sour her tone sounded when she asked this, especially when she said the word "by the way", her voice was almost squeezed out of between her teeth, this strong emotion and the indifferent expression on her face just formed a strong contrast, full of contradictions.
"Already sent back, waited for you here for an hour. Xiao Geyan's tone was also very flat, but his answer was very detailed, "I thought you would come down soon, so I waited inside the unit door." ”
"Actually, you don't have to do this, I can go back by myself, I still know how to call a taxi, I don't want to trouble you for this kind of thing. Although Bai Xue also seemed to think of something because of Xiao Geyan's words before, he still made himself a little angry when he accepted Gong Xi's request for the first time.
"Don't bother, get out of here, I don't want you to be alone," Xiao Geyan turned his head to look at her, "I'm afraid you'll remember what happened on the day of the accident." ”
