She didn't know why she slept so deeply, and she didn't even know when Chen Ziyu entered the room. He didn't even change his clothes, black trousers and white shirt, lying on the edge of his bed, curled eyelashes on his closed eyes.

This person she decided to miss day and night, did she go through thick and thin in order to rush back to see her?

Xia Qixi carefully pulled his hand out of his clenched palm, got out of bed gently, and took a blanket to cover his body.

In the kitchen, Xia's mother is preparing breakfast.

"Mom, when did Chen Ziyu come back?" Xia Qixi stood at the busy door, looking at her busy mother, her stomach was already a little tempting, and she put a piece of freshly fried egg into her mouth.

Mother Chen looked at her greedy daughter and smiled fondly: "In the early hours of this morning, he didn't tell you in advance when he would come back?"

Xia Qixi's mouth was already stuffed, vaguely branched. I went to wash up on my own, ignoring the nagging coming from behind me.

If it weren't for being their daughter, who had witnessed the relationship between her parents for so many years, she really couldn't believe how her father, who had always been quiet and introverted, could endure the constant nagging and complaining all day long, and even a mother with a bit of a domineering personality.

Fortunately, her personality was not fully inherited from either parent. Although she is not good at words, she can still say what she should say, and her indifference is almost only in front of strangers, and once she gets acquainted, she does not have these concerns. As for her occasional hypocrisy and little willfulness, it is also just right, and it will not cause disgust from others.

The inheritance of these two genes gradually evolved into her softness in Xia Qixi's body, although she will be cowardly in the face of difficulties, she will not easily admit defeat. Even if you burst into tears, you will clench your teeth.

Since moving to Chen Ziyu's apartment, Xia's father has one more task every morning, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, he has to walk for half an hour to often buy fresh ingredients and come back. In this way, it is good to occasionally hear Xia's mother complain that what dishes are not fresh enough on a certain day.

But fortunately, Xia Qixi's father is always happy.

The man in the bedroom moved his fingers slightly, and his eyes slowly opened as he adapted to the bright light. After a long day of hard work and an overnight flight, although he slept for a while, Chen Ziyu still felt a little tired. The complexion that has always been warm is unusual, and some are a little pale.

The blanket on his body fell at his feet, and Chen Ziyu bent down to pick it up. Sitting on the edge of the bed and silent for a few minutes, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples that were a little sore, and got up to look for Xia Qixi.

It's rare that Xia Qixi has a better appetite today, and he was eating at the dining table, when he accidentally looked up and saw Chen Ziyu coming out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes: "You're awake! Come and have breakfast." ”

Chen Ziyu heard that she sat down next to Xia Qixi, and Chen's mother had already prepared the meal. Xia Qixi's parents have lived in that town since they were born, and rarely go to other places, so they are very interested in foreign things. Chen Ziyu also tried his best to pick up new and interesting things to tell them, but he used another hand that did not hold chopsticks to hold Xia Qixi's hand on his knee.

He didn't use much strength, just held it gently, but his eyes were still looking elsewhere, and his mouth was talking about the outside world that he didn't know if it was true or not.

After breakfast, Xia's mother and Xia's father went out for a walk, and Xia Qixi was fiddling with flowers and plants in the living room. Chen Ziyu had just taken a shower and changed into light clothes. walked over silently, stretched out his arms from behind him, gently locked Xia Qixi's waist, and rested his chin on the top of her head: "Long time no see." ”

Yes, in his world, even if it is still a short separation from Xia Qixi, it has become long. From the moment she left his sight, he still began to miss it. This kind of longing is increasing day by day under the effect of time. finally crushed him, and as soon as the matter on Jiang Yan's side was over, he desperately changed the plane and flight, desperately wanting to appear by Xia Qixi's side.

"Are you okay?" Xia Qixi put down the watering can that was still dripping with water in his hand and held the hands around his waist.

"Not good!"

Xia Qixi turned his head and looked at him with some concern: "Why is it bad?"

"Because without you. Chen Ziyu said and bowed his head for a long kiss. With a little longing and uneasiness.

At the end of the kiss, Xia Qixi saw the haze and a trace of tiredness in Chen Ziyu's eyes, and urged him to go back to the room to rest, but he refused to be alone. Xia Qixi was helpless, so he could only temporarily put down these flowers and plants to accompany him to rest.

"What have you done in the past few days since I was away?" Chen Ziyu asked while lying on the bed and pulling Xia Qixi on the side into his arms, closing his eyes.

Xia Qixi resigned, and Chen Ziyu went abroad. She was not yet fully acquainted with this sudden comfort, and in addition to the usual three meals a day, she spent the whole day reading books and fiddling with flowers and plants in the living room.

These things that she felt boring made Chen Ziyu feel at ease. After all, he didn't want Xia Qixi to continue this job early in the morning, but he was too familiar with Xia Qixi's strong personality, and he must not be willing to stay at home and spend his money, and it is impossible to willingly accept the work he helped arrange.

This thought can only be endured in my heart. Fortunately, before he could think of a better way, Xia Qixi became pregnant. So Chen Ziyu naturally stood on the same front as Xia Qixi's parents, and successfully pulled Xia Qixi off the job.

"By the way, a friend of yours has been here. ”

"Friends?" Chen Ziyu whispered in a confused voice, he had hardly brought his friends to this place.

"Zhao Jie. ”

Hearing these two words, Chen Ziyu's sleepiness that had just come up was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water. Get up and sit on the bed: "What did she say to you?"

"She said she was going to see you abroad and that she wanted to find a time to meet your parents. Xia Qixi deliberately concealed Zhao Jie's aggressive words, and when he said these words, his tone was always steady, and he couldn't see any waves.

Seeing that Jiang Yan's affairs couldn't be hidden, Chen Ziyu could only tell Xia Qixi what happened today.

Jiang Yan's mother, the once famous daughter of the town, left the world forever on a peaceful night. Although she has been suffering from illness for many years, Jiang Yan still can't accept this fact, and locks herself and her mother's bodies in the house. In the end, it was the nanny who had been taking care of Jiang Yan's mother who followed the hostess's last wish and dialed Jiang Yan's father's phone.

"Then is he okay now?" Xia Qixi pulled Chen Ziyu back to lie down beside him, pillowed his head on his arm, and asked in a deep voice.

A week before he returned to China, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer, but he kept it hidden until he fainted at the funeral that day and was taken to the hospital. ”

Xia Qixi's heart was suddenly stabbed, and there was not a drop of blood but it was still in severe pain.

Chen Ziyu's big hand on Xia Qixi's waist tightened slightly, and continued: "It has reached the point where surgery is indispensable, but he insisted on opposing it, and his mood has become very unstable. ”

After Chen Ziyu's words were finished, both of them fell into deep silence.

Xia Qixi still remembers that Jiang Yan once told her that she likes fennel dumplings the most. They went to the stores they visited together and worked overtime to complete the project. And that email and New Year's wishes. She didn't even dare to imagine what Jiang Yan looked like now.

It turns out that he is also like himself, even if he is strong as a hedgehog on the surface, he will become fragile when facing the most important and soft in his heart, and he just wants to escape.

"The operation, it will go well, right?" Xia Qixi pouted with tears in the corner of his eyes, crystal clear. asked the question she was most concerned about and afraid to face.

"Yes, everything will be fine. ”

As for Zhao Jie, there is no need for more explanations between Chen Ziyu and Xia Qixi, although she did not hide anything from Xia Qixi about the things back then, although there is nothing to do on the surface. But Chen Ziyu knew that Zhao Jie's existence had been a slight estrangement in Xia Qixi's heart.

This kind of estrangement cannot be eliminated in a few words, and he will slowly let Xia Qixi eliminate it in the days to come.

He didn't know how Zhao Jie knew about what happened at Jiang Yan's house, and when he received a call from Jiang Yan's father and hurried abroad, Zhao Jie was already there.

The night after that, Xia Qixi's phone was unexpectedly turned off. Chen Ziyu, who was far abroad, guessed the cause of the incident at that time, but because he was in a different place, Jiang Yan's situation was not good, so he could only temporarily put it aside after confirming Xia Qixi's condition, and hurried back as soon as he finished dealing with it.

Women are so strange that many times they are entangled in the sentence I love you, or obsessed with an explanation that does not seem perfect no matter what.

And in Xia Qixi, she would rather accept Chen Ziyu's explanation not too much. If he doesn't explain, everything Zhao Jie said must not be the truth. On the contrary, it made Xia Qixi feel at ease.

Chen Ziyu wanted to arrange things here, so he went back to the ground, and when everything was arranged, Jiang Yan's father returned to this land with his and his mother's ashes.

On the day Jiang Yan came back, Xia Qixi wanted to go to the airport to greet him, but he was unanimously opposed by his family. Even if she is willful, after all, this time is different. She still has a little life in her belly. So I can only wait obediently at home, waiting for everything to settle down.

It had been two days since she met Jiang Yan.

He was lying on the hospital bed, his face bloodless, his eyes tightly closed, and his lips chapped. And his father, General Manager Xue, who was still angry at the celebration party at the end of the project, was just the most ordinary white-haired old man at the moment, silently guarding in front of the hospital bed, not knowing when he would prepare for the pain of the white-haired person to the black-haired person.

Xia Qixi only glanced at it, and she was already teary-eyed. Worried that Jiang Yan's father would see it, it would cause him to be sad for no reason, so he could only pull Chen Ziyu back into the corridor.
