Chapter 22: Silence
Li Xiaoxue's mind was filled with paste, and at her desk, she didn't know what she was doing after a morning.
Finally it was time for the lunch break, Li Xiaoxue wanted to climb on the desk and sleep again, but Han Haitao walked over with two boxes of light meals and a smile.
"What's the matter, your face is still so bad?" Han Haitao asked with concern, and put a box of light meals in front of Li Xiaoxue.
Li Xiaoxue didn't have the slightest appetite, looking at a box of light meals with meat and vegetables, she felt sick to her stomach for a while.
"What's wrong with it?" Han Haitao asked Li Xiaoxue again.
Li Xiaoxue shook her head: "No." It's just not tasteful, so you can eat it yourself. ”
Han Haitao gently touched Li Xiaoxue's forehead with the back of his hand, but he didn't see Li Xiaoxue's fever, and said, "Or, I'll give you something else?" You can't skip a meal. ”
When Li Xiaoxue saw Han Haitao's mother-in-law and mother getting up again, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and her tone became heavier: "I said I didn't want to eat." You're ready to eat yourself! ”
Han Haitao didn't watch out for Li Xiaoxue's sudden anger, and he almost buttoned a box of lunch in his hand to the ground.
"Oh," after Han Haitao hurriedly put his own meal on Li Xiaoxue's desk, he diligently picked up Li Xiaoxue's water cup and said, "I'll pour you a glass of water to drink." ”
"No need! You don't have to worry about me, just eat your food. Right now, I want to lie down for a while. Li Xiaoxue said, pillowing her arm and lying on the table.
"Go and lie down on the couch over there, it'll be more comfortable." Han Haitao said on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to help Li Xiaoxue get up.
Li Xiaoxue was really unwilling to move, and with anger, she pushed away Han Haitao's outstretched hand: "Don't bother, I'll lie like this for a while, don't be like this." ”
Han Haitao's hands stopped in mid-air, at a loss.
Li Xiaoxue felt Han Haitao's embarrassment, and her voice softened: "You eat, I'll lie down like this for a while, it's fine." ”
"It's fine." Han Haitao said this, and then slowly withdrew his hand.
"You can eat both boxes of vegetables, and you won't waste much of the leftover rice." Li Xiaoxue told her again, and softly, she closed her eyes.
Han Haitao shook his head and smiled at Li Xiaoxue, sat in front of Li Xiaoxue, and ate while looking at Li Xiaoxue's quiet face like a sleeping beauty.
Although Li Xiaoxue closed her eyes and her body was still tired, she couldn't sleep.
"Xiaoxue," Han Haitao knew that Li Xiaoxue was still awake, so he said happily, "I have already asked for the leave of the two of us." ”
"Fake? What is false? Li Xiaoxue asked, her eyes spreading.
Han Haitao's face was strange: "Li Xiaoxue, what's wrong, last night, we obviously said it." ”
"Oh," Li Xiaoxue woke up, "How many days have you pleased?" ”
"Half a month. Start from tomorrow. Han Haitao replied.
Li Xiaoxue only said "um" and continued to find her dreamland.
"Let's go see the sea, okay?" Han Haitao asked again.
"Okay." Li Xiaoxue agreed softly and casually.
"I'll buy a ticket in the afternoon and leave tomorrow morning." Han Haitao planned.
"Okay." Li Xiaoxue still gently agreed, and suddenly remembered what she had promised Zhong Youcheng in the morning, her body was agitated, and her eyes widened, "What?" ”
Han Haitao was chewing a piece of meat, and suddenly Li Xiaoxue asked like this, and swallowed the meat that had not been chewed yet.
"What, what's wrong?" Han Haitao asked painfully, quickly took a sip of water and smoothed the meat in the esophagus, and said strangely, "I remember, you said a long time ago that you were going to see the sea." ”
Li Xiaoxue sat up straight and frowned slightly: "But I didn't say I'd go tomorrow?" ”
Han Haitao was inexplicable: "Xiaoxue, let's say we're going to ask for leave to go out to have fun, and now, the leave is all down, why, don't you go right away?" ”
"But," Li Xiaoxue also felt that her words were a little too much to say, and the only reason for not wanting to go out was that she couldn't explain it to Han Haitao, "I, I've really felt a little uncomfortable in the past two days." Let's go another day, another day, okay? ”
"What's wrong with you?" Han Haitao asked.
"I ......" Li Xiaoxue held back for a long time, and was a little impatient, "Oops, it's just uncomfortable, and I'm not willing to move." ”
"Xiaoxue," Han Haitao, who was bent on borrowing a few days of play to let the two of them, no, it may be that he alone regained the feeling he once felt, and he couldn't help but be a little impatient, and said in a cold tone to the woman he loved for the first time, "I hope that there will be no concealment between us." ”
Seeing Han Haitao like this, Li Xiaoxue felt uncomfortable in her heart: "Conceal? ”
Han Haitao nodded seriously: "Not bad." ”
Li Xiaoxue's nose was sour again, and tears flashed in her eyes: "You, what are you referring to?" ”
Han Haitao saw that Li Xiaoxue had tears, and realized that his words were heavy, and he couldn't help but panic: "What I mean, where are you uncomfortable, can't you tell me?" ”
Li Xiaoxue knew that Han Haitao's meaning was by no means so simple: "That's all? ”
Han Haitao nodded vigorously again and said, "Yes." ”
Li Xiaoxue's gaze stayed on Han Haitao's face for half a minute, until she felt that her two lines of tears were about to fall, so she hurriedly turned her head, choked up, and said, "It's really nothing, I just feel lazy." ”
"Would you like to go to the hospital?" Han Haitao asked cautiously.
Li Xiaoxue shook her head at the air: "No need. Rest for a few days and it should be fine. ”
"Or," Han Haitao proposed, "let's go to a movie together at night?" ”
Li Xiaoxue only said: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Okay, then." Han Haitao had no choice but to say.
Next, there is silence.
The silence makes the air around a pair of lovers seem extremely incongruous with the relationship between the two people.
Han Haitao wanted to break the silence, but he searched in his stomach and still couldn't find anything suitable for this time.
He really regretted the idea of vacation travel he proposed, not because of Li Xiaoxue's attitude at the moment, but because he felt that he was self-defeating, and he strained the relationship between the two even more.
What about Li Xiaoxue? Although he was wronged in his heart, he also felt guilty about Han Haitao.
How could she not know that Han Haitao's good intentions were all to make her happy, but things in the world happened to coincide, so she decided to travel with Han Haitao here, and over there, Zhong Youcheng had another opportunity to participate in a national art exhibition.
On the one hand, it is a play, and on the other hand, it is an art exhibition related to a person's future, and compared with the two, Zhong Youcheng's opportunity should be more important than her and Han Haitao's travel. However, emotionally speaking, she should regard Han Haitao more seriously.
She had every reason to reject Zhong Youcheng, in fact, she also rejected Zhong Youcheng, not for Han Haitao, just because she didn't want to show herself to more people, she really refused.
On the contrary, Zhong Youcheng is another person who can't refuse. In this regard, it seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhong Youcheng is a scoundrel. In Zhong Youcheng's place, there seems to be only one option. Yes, yes, no, yes.
If she didn't agree to Zhong Youcheng's request in the morning, Zhong Youcheng would definitely not give up. Even if the police call the police and the police come, at most, Zhong Youcheng obstructs her personal freedom and takes her away, what crime can Zhong Youcheng convict?
And how could she expect Zhong Youcheng to be convicted?
Zhong Youcheng is not a heinous person in the end, although it has brought some trouble to her Li Xiaoxue's life.
In the final analysis, putting aside the worldly vision, she really wants to have a talented and passionate friend like Zhong Youcheng.
But who can really put it aside, or hide from the eyes of the world? At least, she Li Xiaoxue can't do it.
So she agreed to Zhong Youcheng's request, wasn't it thanks to the old couple?
And even if the old couple was not called to see it, with Zhong Youcheng's character, if she didn't agree or compromise for a day, she would be in danger of being in the city one day.
Although she is not a celebrity, she will make headlines because of this, but it is enough for her to ask her neighbors to point fingers behind her back, especially to let her relatives and friends, especially Han Haitao, know.
It's also because her conditions are not bad in all aspects, especially those who have a beautiful face and like to chew their tongues, who doesn't want to do her articles and find out her flaws.
I have to make up something if I have nothing to do.
Why, a wind and rain made her meet a person like Zhong Youcheng?
In the end, it was Li Xiaoxue who spoke softly first: "Aren't you going to eat quickly?" It's going to be cold. ”
"Oh." Han Haitao agreed, and ate again.
