Chapter Seventy-Seven: Will You Marry Me?
Resisting the urge to cry, she sniffed and choked up, "Don't say that. All the while, you are helping me and taking care of me, and I can't do anything for you. Now that something so big has happened, I can't do anything but stay with you for a while. ”
Qiao Sijie looked at Ran Xixi and smiled at her reluctantly.
"I don't want to repay the favor, I help you, never so that you can repay me one day, everything is my own willingness. ”
After a pause, he glanced at the time and urged, "You go back." If it's too late, Zhan Xingchuan will definitely be in a hurry. I'll ask the driver to take you back. ”
Ran Xixi thought about it, and still said: "I'll give you the porridge to heat it up again, you eat less, and I'll leave when you're done." ”
With that, she got up from the couch.
Because she had been in the same position for too long, her body was a little numb, and it took a while to slow down.
After heating up the porridge and watching Qiao Sijie eat it bite by bite, Ran Xixi left.
Along the way, her eyes kept thinking about Qiao Yanne's face.
His funeral was over, and she was still in a trance, unable to believe that he was really dead.
Qiao Yanne has been beautiful, smart, and brainy since she was a child, plus she was pampered by her parents, so it can be said that the first twenty years have been smooth sailing and carefree. As long as the Qiao family is mentioned, who doesn't know that he is a famous person in the middle of the sea society, as long as he is there, he can enjoy himself on any occasion for entertainment, and everyone will sell face.
If there is anything unsatisfactory about him, it may be love, and marriage.
Everyone has a catastrophe in their life, and he cannot escape it.
The driver sent Ran Xixi back to the hospital, she hurriedly ran into the elevator, although she had only been separated from Zhan Xingchuan for less than a day, but because she had encountered too many life and death recently, she was suddenly unwilling to waste her life anymore.
Every day, when people leave this world, the moment they close their eyes and stop their heartbeat, there must be regrets, and there must be things they want to do but haven't had time to do.
So, she didn't want to let herself have any more regrets.
Panting and pushing open the door of the ward, Zhan Xingchuan was leaning on the bedside reading a book, and there were two cups of hot water on the bedside table, still steaming.
He really didn't sleep, he was waiting for her.
"Are you back? Why did you come back by running? Come and catch your breath and drink some hot water. ”
Zhan Xingchuan closed the book and pointed to the water cup.
Ran Xixi walked over, looked at the glass of water that was still hot, and reached out to touch the temperature.
It was still hot, but it wasn't hot, so she asked curiously, "I didn't tell you when I'll be back, how can you pinch the time so accurately, this water is just right." ”
He smiled mysteriously, he wanted to sell it, but he still told the truth: "I didn't have time, I think if it's a little cold, I'll pour it out, and pour a hot cup again, it's as simple as that......"
Ran Xixi was stunned, then he slapped him with a smile, picked up the water cup, and took a few sips.
"I thought you were so clever. ”
She laughed and snorted.
Zhan Xingchuan smiled more heartily than her, stretched out his hand, he gently hugged Ran Xixi, and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation in the Qiao family?"
He could almost imagine that.
Everything came so suddenly, no one could have imagined that Qiao Yanne would die in the earthquake.
Originally, he had focused on business for most of the past half a year, and all the elders of the Qiao family liked to hear about it, feeling that he had finally embarked on the right path.
What I didn't expect was that at a young age, I just left.
"Well, relatives and friends only came, and those from other places couldn't catch up, so I didn't give notice. Mrs. Qiao is so miserable, she can't cry anymore, I can't stand it. ”
Ran Xixi nodded and said softly.
Zhan Xingchuan also sighed: "The old and the small, are enough for Qiao Sijie." Speaking of which, his life is not good, although it is beautiful on the surface, but over the years, he has worked too much and has not enjoyed it for a day. ”
She was stunned and agreed: "Yes, Sijie is the most tired." Also, he briefly talked to me about the future of the child. He wanted to ask my opinion, but I didn't have any good opinions, so I just silently supported him......"
Hearing her say this, Zhan Xingchuan was also curious: "What? What does he want? Qiao Yanne is gone, this kid ...... Anyway, it must be raised by the Qiao family. ”
At present, there are so many people closest to the child, grandmother Mrs. Qiao, uncle Qiao Sijie, and aunt Ran Xixi.
To be honest, Zhan Xingchuan was also a little worried, for fear that Ran Xixi's love would burst instantly, and as soon as his brain was hot, he proposed to raise this child.
It's not that he's afraid of spending money, it's just that raising a child requires more than just money.
"Sijie told me that Yan Ne had briefly mentioned to him that he wanted to give the child's milk name Nian Nian, but the name had not yet been thought of. Hey, I don't forget it. Now it's okay, both of them are gone, and only the child is left alone...... By the way, what he means is that the child is still young anyway, so don't tell him about the husband and wife, just raise him as his own son, and when he grows up, he will call him Dad. ”
Ran Xixi sighed and conveyed Qiao Sijie's meaning to Zhan Xingchuan.
With a frown, Zhan Xingchuan said in surprise: "It's good for the child that he does this." But in this way, it seems that it is not easy for him to get married in the future. When others ask, it's a single father, and he doesn't necessarily want to. ”
She also nodded: "I also persuaded him so." However, depending on what he means, it will not change. As for Mrs. Qiao's side, the old lady is exhausted, and she has been strong for half her life, how do you know that her husband is gone, and her son is gone, so she can't take care of these things now......"
Both men were silent.
After a long while, Zhan Xingchuan asked in a difficult voice, "Xi, you don't mean anything else when you tell me this, right?"
She was stunned for a moment before she asked, "Ahh
Seeing that she didn't understand, Zhan Xingchuan continued to ask: "Qiao Sijie plans to raise the child as his own son, does he think that you still have hope of being with him?" Maybe I think so, and I also live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but ...... What worries me is that he's always had this thought......"
Ran Xixi finally understood.
It turned out that Zhan Xingchuan was worried about this matter.
Maybe.
Maybe deep in Qiao Sijie's heart, there is still a trace of expectation for her, and he is not completely dead.
However, that was his idea, and Ran Xixi could only pretend to know nothing and continue to regard him as a benefactor and friend.
In the future, she will treat him as a relative, and at the appropriate time, give him some help, and help him raise Niannian together, so as to comfort the spirits of Qiao Yanne and his wife in heaven.
Other than that, Ran Xixi couldn't give him more promises.
Because, she has secretly made a decision in her heart.
She didn't want to run away anymore, and she didn't want to make herself regret it in the days to come.
"Zhan Xingchuan, I have something to tell you. ”
Ran Xixi suddenly became serious, looked directly into Zhan Xingchuan's eyes, and spoke softly.
His eyes suddenly became flustered, and he didn't dare to look directly at her, but was a little evasive.
"What...... What is it? Can you talk about it tomorrow?"
Zhan Xingchuan's tone had never been so empty-hearted.
She frowned, "Why do you want to say it tomorrow?
He lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and bowed his head and said, "I, I'll go to the bathroom." ”
After speaking, Zhan Xingchuan walked directly to the bathroom.
Ran Xixi was a little puzzled, what was he so nervous about?
She wasn't nervous, but he seemed to be scared, were the roles of the two reversed......
Ran Xixi was thinking about it, there was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom, she walked over, looked over, and found that Zhan Xingchuan was constantly rinsing his cheeks with cold water.
"It's cold. ”
She hurriedly persuaded her, picked up the towel, and handed it to him.
Zhan Xingchuan finally wiped his face dry, he also calmed down a lot, and whispered: "What do you want to say, you can say it." ”
That tone was as if it had been opened.
Ran Xixi still felt weird, and besides, he was standing in the bathroom, and she was standing at the door of the bathroom, this position...... It's a little embarrassing.
"You can't come out, I'll say it again?"
She couldn't understand the man anymore.
"I'm standing right here. ”
Zhan Xingchuan suddenly became stubborn, like a child, and one of his hands was still on the door frame, as if he was going to close the door at any time.
"Okay then," Seeing his stubborn appearance that he refused to come out even if he died, Ran Xixi had no choice but to stand up straight, take a deep breath, and ask him seriously: "Zhan Xingchuan, are you willing to marry me?"
The man in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment, and even his body shook.
His lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.
This reaction surprised Ran Xixi.
Willing or unwilling, you can do it, but you can't speak, plus your body trembles, what's wrong with that?
She waited and waited, and it was as if time had stood still.
Finally, Ran Xixi became impatient, she stomped her foot, and urged depressedly: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, I won't stab you with a knife, why don't you speak?"
After saying this, she turned around and was about to leave.
It's so embarrassing, is there a woman in this world who takes the initiative to propose marriage, but is she rejected by others?
She is one of them.
Unexpectedly, a strong force suddenly came from behind her, almost knocking her away.
Just when Ran Xixi almost fell, Zhan Xingchuan hugged her and strangled her so tightly that she was almost out of breath.
"I'm so stupid, really. ”
He buried his head in her shoulder socket and repeated it over and over again.
"I just thought it was ...... I thought...... I thought you were going to break up with me...... I was scared to death, and I thought, if you really say it, I'll close the door and hide in it alone and cry......"
As he spoke, two lines of tears flowed down.
Ran Xixi laughed and laughed, he never imagined that Zhan Xingchuan would treat marriage proposal as a part-time move.
"You're really stupid. This kind of thing, let me talk about it. ”
