Xiao Huai did not deny it at the first time.

The atmosphere was quiet, except for his undulating and even breathing, except for the rustling of the leaves of a sycamore tree in the evening breeze.

Perhaps it is the effect of alcohol, and there are indescribable feelings that are provoked, like a light boat rippling, stirring up small ripples in the heart lake. He tilted his face uncomfortably, untied the tie from his shirt with one hand, slid his Adam's apple, and replied vaguely, "No." ”

His voice was slow and muffled, and although Lin Li on the other end of the phone couldn't see him and didn't know the expression on his face, he felt the tiredness of wanting to cover up from such a voice.

She asked, "Are you really okay?" ”

The alcohol content was not high, but his face was flushed, thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his nose, and his two lips were slightly open, and he was speechless for a long time.

He was embarrassed to break it, he wasn't sad, he just thought she was a little depressed.

Fortunately, people like him are quite smart, and they spit out two words on the spot: "Lin Li." ”

"Yes."

"Lin Li."

Lin Li was stunned, reacted that the signal was not good, and walked to the window of the corridor: "Xiao Huai, can you hear my voice?" ”

“……”

"Xiao Huai?"

She called him a few times in succession, her voice was shallow and soft, sultry, and he almost couldn't control the urge to express the pain of lovesickness.

He took a deep breath and looked out the window at the gloomy clouds.

A pair of narrow eyes are deep, like ink spots on rice paper, revealing obscurity that no one can understand: "Lin Li, I just drove through the tunnel...... What do you want me to do? ”

The last question, the attitude was tepid, the tone was not painful, and Lin Li was silent for a moment.

That's right, she noticed that the name of "Xiao Huai" appeared on the call screen, and she didn't see Xiao Huai coming to see a doctor, so she immediately worried and hurried to find him.

But what about when you find him?

Michiko's words of humiliating her are still ringing in her ears. On the surface, she took the initiative to call over regardless of her previous suspicions, and frequently released her concern later, no matter from which angle she analyzed, there seemed to be only one answer, she was undead to him.

He asked this in the hope that she would retreat.

Lin Li pursed her lips and tried to maintain a steady tone: "I called just to make sure you are not sick, and if you are okay, I will not bother." ”

There was silence on the other end of the line, and there was no response.

Lin Li's hand holding the phone slowly put it down.

The temperature at night dropped a lot, and the wind through the windows brought a slight coolness, but the feeling of loss that lingered in my heart lingered.

She stared at the red hang-up button on the screen, reluctant to press it, so she simply put her phone to her ear and spoke hard: "There have been many remarks attacking you on the Internet, have you been negatively affected?" ”

Because of the big exposure of her last relationship experience, she has long stopped paying attention to news reports. It wasn't until Guan Yi mentioned Xiao Huai's recent situation that she looked on the Internet and was deeply shocked by the remarks of those "sunspots".

Pushing herself and others, she guessed that he must be troubled.

Lin Li said angrily: "Those people who replied to the post were logically confused and full of loopholes. If Li Hongzhang is a traitor, then aren't the Bank of China and the Bank of Communications, which were founded by Li Hongzhang and his descendants, also traitors? If your great-grandfather Xiao Zhengfu was a traitor, then wouldn't your great-grandfather mediate and facilitate the German bank to lend to the Qing government the seven main railway lines of Shanghai-Nanjing, Guangzhou-Kowloon, and Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo were all traitors? These banks, these railroads, are still the economic lifeblood of the country, so you must not be like the person who responded. They are ignorant and stupid and will pull you to their level and then use their vast experience in scolding to defeat you. ”

Lin Li had never said so many words in one breath, his breath was not enough, and he was a little gasping.

She calmed down for a while, and found that the earpiece was still quiet, so quiet that even Xiao Huai's breathing was inaudible, as if he hadn't paid attention to what she was saying.

The taste of being ignored was really uncomfortable, Lin Li's whole heart instantly tightened, but he had to finish speaking: "Guan Yi's friend is the editor-in-chief of the "Oriental Morning Post", if you need to publish a personal statement in the newspaper......"

"No, I don't."

He interrupted her abruptly, and she couldn't help but feel that she was really worrying too much and that she was not interested in herself.

She couldn't say anything, and when she was about to end the phone, Xiao Huai's voice really reached her ears through the microphone: "Lin Li, how are you doing lately?" ”

Faced with the sudden greeting, Lin Li was silent for a few seconds and lowered his head slightly: "It's not good." ”

"Why? Poor restaurant management? ”

"More than that."

"The hospital isn't working well?"

Maybe it's an illusion, Xiao Huai actually cares about her.

The expression on Lin Li's face did not change, but his free hand couldn't get along with the sealant under the window edge, and he scratched: "The hospital announced the results of the first round of the qualification examination for medical aid to Vietnam today, and I didn't pass the test and was brushed off." ”

A surprised question sounded on the phone: "You are already Ji Yunchong's fiancée, why do you want to go to Vietnam?" ”

Lin Li was stunned: "Fiancée? No, no, the media often exaggerate their claims in order to win clicks, don't believe them. ”

There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if even the atmosphere froze.

Since Xiao Huai did not shy away from mentioning Ji Yunchong, Lin Li did not intend to avoid it: "I heard that you and Ji Yunchong are friends?" ”

Ignoring the answer, she lowered her head and muttered, "I'm sorry, I already knew about your existence when you didn't know me." Believe it or not, my feelings for you are limited to curiosity and have not been deliberately approached. ”

At that time, the car accident had not yet happened, she looked for a dictionary in Ji Yunchong's study, and unexpectedly saw Xiao Huai on the cover of the magazine. With her handsome appearance and legendary resume, she asked a few more questions with curiosity for a while, so that Ji Yunchong hugged her from behind jealously, and teased her about it for a long time.

Later, when she met Xiao Huai herself, she was inexplicably inferior.

He is the central figure in the heart of the area, an investment banker with a prominent background. She is just a passer-by who hitchhikes, a lovelorn landlady, and an unlucky and sad traveler.

The trajectory of her and his life is two straight lines that are not parallel or intersecting.

However, from one day onwards, she could see him in person, hear his voice, and receive his care without much effort...... She was stunned, treating him only as an "acquaintance", failing to realize that his dedication to her had long since exceeded friendship.

He must have missed her so much that he lied that her flight was delayed and asked if she was available.

He must have really liked her, so he waited all night in the chaotic and noisy emergency department to spend the busy night with her.

Such a man who silently pays sincere feelings, once he turns his face, there is no room for maneuver. As it was now, she had no chance of getting close to him at all as long as he didn't want to.

Michiko's words mocking her are ugly, but one sentence is right, what did she do for Xiao Huai?

Yes, she has not done anything for Xiao Huai, nor has she fully expressed her dependence and liking for him, so she also has an unshirkable responsibility for the development of things to the current situation.

Lin Li barely held back his sadness: "Xiao Huai, you are an excellent man in all aspects, I bless you, and I wish you to solve your troubles at work as soon as possible......"

"Dr. Lin—" A fiery call suddenly came from behind.

Lin Li quickly turned around and said "hey", and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "Sorry, I'm going to be busy." ”

Unexpectedly, he cut off her words without warning: "Lin Li, there may be a misunderstanding between us. I have something to say to you, can we meet right away? ”

"Now? I'm still on duty. She was waiting for the ambulance to bring the patient to him.

"Tomorrow?"

"I'll fly to Munich early tomorrow morning."

Such an answer made both parties on the call fall silent.

"Dr. Lin—" urges again.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Lin Li changed the phone from the right ear to the left, lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Huai, goodbye." ”

She hurriedly put the phone away, not hearing what he answered clearly, like a discussion, like an agreement, but her attitude towards speaking turned a hundred and eighty degrees, and she no longer ignored her coldly and indifferently-

"I'll fly to Munich later. If it's convenient for you, we'll meet there. 166 Reading Network
