Chapter 18: First Love
The text message read: I miss you so much.
But why did it go out all of a sudden?
I was so anxious that I wanted to cry, and I desperately canceled it, but the message had already been sent.
As the clock ticked by, my breathing became shorter and shorter due to nervousness, and cold sweat began to break out in my palms. There was a faint hint of expectation in my heart, and I hoped that he would reply gently: Xixi, I miss you too.
But I knew that it was a daydream, and my mind went blank for a while, and by the time my reason gradually returned, two minutes had passed, and Mr. Zhuang did not reply.
I quickly shook my hands and sent another paragraph, making up a very clumsy excuse.
I told Mr. Zhuang that I wanted to try to send a text message to my grandmother on my new mobile phone, but I probably didn't know how to use this mobile phone, so I accidentally sent it to his number by mistake.
When I used to study outside, I would call Aunt Tian Hua every time, and my grandmother would say a few words to me when she was close, and Aunt Tian Hua would help her talk when she was far away.
However, Mr. Zhuang should not know that my grandmother does not have a mobile phone. He didn't have any extra feelings for me, and he definitely wouldn't have misunderstood because of that text message.
Thinking of this, I breathe a sigh of relief again.
Why was there a vague expectation that he had misunderstood? It would have been nice if he had realized that I was really thinking about him.
The next morning, Aunt Tian Hua called, she said that her grandmother's operation time was determined to be two days later, and the doctor asked her to pay 70,000 or 80,000 yuan in advance to the payment account, otherwise there would be no way to do the operation if the money was insufficient.
I hurriedly went to find Zhao Yaru, but when I saw her cold face, my voice lowered again: "Sister Yaru, my grandmother will have surgery the day after tomorrow, can I go home and have a look? I promise that nothing will happen, I will take care of my stomach." ”
Zhao Yaru was a little impatient, it seems that her anger at the conflict with Mr. Zhuang yesterday has not completely disappeared: "No, you just conceived a child and it is unstable, besides, Dr. Sun said that you should often go for physical examinations to see the situation." Your grandmother must have her children with her during the operation, so why don't you just inform you of the results when the time comes?"
"Sister Yaru, my grandmother has no children by her side. "Except for Aunt and Aunt Tian Hua, where is there anyone else?
I'm just afraid that my aunt and uncle-in-law won't be able to take care of me with peace of mind, so I'm worried that they will be angry with my grandmother.
Thinking that I have never been able to take care of my grandmother by her side, but has eaten and lived well here, I feel an indescribable discomfort in my heart.
"That's not going to work, my husband is on a business trip, and I have to discuss this with him. Wait for him to come back, you are safe at home. ”
I was anxious: "Can Mr. Zhuang come back today?"
My grandmother has to go into the operating room early in the morning the day after tomorrow, and I have to rush back the day after tomorrow, and I have to pay the fee at that time, and I have to prevent my uncle-in-law from making trouble, and I don't have enough time.
Zhao Yaru waved her hand impatiently: "I can't come back, I may have to go on a business trip for a week this time." It's going to take so long this time, and I don't know if I made an appointment with that vixen. ”
Coquette?
I remembered yesterday's incident, and subconsciously helped Mr. Zhuang to justify: "Sister Yaru, Mr. Zhuang is definitely not that kind of person, you must have misunderstood him, you can talk about it." ”
She stared at me meaningfully for a few seconds, I shuddered, and quickly lowered my head: "Mr. Zhuang and Sister Yaru are talented men and women, except for Sister Yaru, other women will definitely not be able to enter Mr. Zhuang's eyes." ”
I obviously wanted to please her, but why did I feel like a knife stabbing me when I said such things?
In fact, I subconsciously thought so, my feelings for Mr. Zhuang are exactly like this, he is so good, there must be a lot of women who like him, how old am I?
It was only during this transaction that I had the opportunity to get to know Mr. Zhuang, otherwise he would not have looked at me.
Zhao Yaru suddenly sighed and pulled me to chat.
Hearing this, she was also very depressed in her heart: "Shen Xi, do you have a first love? Do you say that it is really difficult for a man to let go of his first love?"
The woman who called yesterday was Mr. Zhuang's first love?
My heart squeezed hard, and it hurt to the bone.
Mr. Zhuang was my first love, but I didn't dare to say it, so I had to lie and say that I had a crush on the most handsome boy in the class. There are quite a few people in the school who like him, so I don't want to be too suspicious when I say that.
Zhao Yaru didn't investigate the truth or falsehood, sighed twice and couldn't help complaining: "That woman is also shameless, I have been married to Zhuang Yan for several years, what is it for her to go back and entangle now? The most important thing to be a woman is to destroy other people's families, Shen Xi, do you say yes?"
After a pause in breathing for two seconds, I sneaked a glance at Zhao Yaru with a blank face. There was undisguised disgust in her eyes, but it didn't fall on my face.
She is obviously scolding Mr. Zhuang's first love, why do I feel inexplicably empty-hearted?
My heart is sour, my crooked thoughts about Mr. Zhuang are not affecting the relationship between their husband and wife? I still hope that Mr. Zhuang can say: Xixi, I miss you too.
This thought is really shameless, my eyes are astringent, and I want to cry again.
I hurriedly shifted my mind to my grandmother's matter, and when Zhao Yaru complained about it, I cautiously asked her again: "Sister Yaru, can you make a phone call to discuss with Mr. Zhuang?" Grandma has raised me for so many years, and now she has such a big operation, I must accompany her." ”
Zhao Yaru became impatient again, let go of the hand holding me, and said perfunctorily: "He's busy, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
But the next day, Zhao Yaru went out to do beauty shopping, and I waited anxiously until the afternoon, but I never saw her come back, so I had to stare at the phone in a daze.
I told myself that I just wanted Mr. Zhuang to agree to me going back, not to hear his voice.
The moment the call was made, I was so nervous that I held my breath.
When the beep sounded for the fourth time, he answered the phone in a suppressed voice: "Hey, Xixi, is there something wrong?"
Hearing the long-lost Xixi, my heart trembled again. He seemed to be in a meeting, and I could vaguely hear someone talking about a plan, a project, or something like that, but he was walking to a secluded place with his phone.
"Mr. Zhuang, grandma is going to have surgery the day after tomorrow, can I go back to see her?" Sister Yaru said that she had to discuss with you before she could make a decision, but she hasn't come back yet, so I can't wait to disturb you. ”
"The day after tomorrow, I won't be able to go back the day after tomorrow. He groaned for a few seconds before sighing, "You send me the address of your grandmother's hospital, and I'll arrange it for you later." Don't worry about Yaru there, I'll tell her later. ”
I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and tears overflowed with joy: "Mr. Zhuang, thank you." ”
But why did he say that he couldn't come back the day after tomorrow?
