CHAPTER XXVIII

"Going to the Soup and Fire" / Call me Meow

In my life, the most feared thing is not being able to meet someone who makes you have the urge to go to the soup.

Time passed bit by bit, and the atmosphere in the office became more and more suffocating. Jiang Xiaoxi felt like a long time had passed, but it seemed like a second or two. What she was holding in her hand was the information that Chen Ziang had asked her to check, and the two pages of paper had already wrinkled in her hand.

It's not that I didn't think that Shen Bai would get married and have children, even if that person was not Chen Ziang, he would definitely be able to do it many years after the breakup. In less than two years, Shen Bai married another man, and her child was five years old, so was Shen Bai married as a son?

Jiang Xiaoxi didn't dare to think about it, and it was hard to imagine.

Since graduating from high school, she has been abroad, so she didn't know about Chen Ziang and Shen Bai's breakup at the first time. Shen Bai called her, and during the thirty minutes of talking, Shen Bai was silent on the other end of the phone for half the time.

On the phone, she spoke in a calm tone, and only said one sentence, "Xiaoxi, I'm tired." ”

Jiang Xiaoxi realized that it was not easy for Shen Bai to do such a thing, and there would be a day when she would be tired.

She said: "Shen Bai, you cry, you will feel better after crying." ”

Jiang Xiaoxi knew that the reason for the breakup must have hurt Shen Bai very much, so she resolutely gave up her persistence for so many years. However, Jiang Xiaoxi didn't know that reason until now, and even Chen Ziang didn't know it.

That day, Jiang Xiaoxi put down the experiment at hand and ran to the stairwell outside the laboratory to sit on the cold ground, she could almost feel Shen Bai's sadness, but no matter how Jiang Xiaoxi persuaded Shen Bai, she was always quiet.

In love, mourning is greater than heart death, how Jiang Xiaoxi hopes that Shen Bai can cry hard that day, whether it is heartbreaking or hysterical, at least she has the opportunity to comfort Shen Bai, and she does prepare a stomach full of comforting words, but Shen Bai has never cried.

Before hanging up the phone, Shen Bai actually smiled, and the laughter was cool and cool, which made Jiang Xiaoxi feel scared, "Xiaoxi, I will have a new life." ”

At that time, Jiang Xiaoxi didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but later understood that it was Chen Ziang who flew to London to find her in person, and she always remembered Chen Ziang, who had just gotten off the plane that day, and the first thing he said when he saw her, "What about Shen Bai?" ”

After Shen Bai and Chen Ziang broke up, he was angry and tried to have nothing to do with her for a while. He was busy with his career and entertaining people from all walks of life, and it only took him a year before he could not hold on. He ran to find her, but was told that Shen Bai had graduated after taking a year off, and no one knew his whereabouts.

Where she went and what she did later, Chen Ziang can no longer know. Because Shen Bai seemed to have disappeared from this world, no one knew her whereabouts anymore. Chen Ziang thought that Jiang Xiaoxi was deliberately hiding Shen Bai's whereabouts, and he followed her for a whole month.

Jiang Xiaoxi always thought that Chen Ziang abandoned Shen Bai, so Shen Bai was so painful. She was puzzled by Chen Ziang's behavior and didn't want to deal with him at all. But no matter how she turned a blind eye to him, he still insisted on asking her ten times a day, "What about Shen Bai?" ”

Once, she couldn't bear it anymore and reprimanded Chen Ziang in front of her classmates, "You have both broken up for a year, and now you are coming to her, does it make sense?" ”

He lowered his head and looked at the ground, always the same sentence: "Please tell me, what about Shen Bai?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxi noticed that his hand hanging under him was trembling slightly, and the windbreaker on his body was still stained with water, which was because she accidentally spilled the coffee in her hand when she was emotional. At that moment, she seemed to be more and more unable to understand this man.

She frowned, and her tone was slightly better, "I knew today, why did you break up with her in the first place?" ”

Hearing her say this, Chen Ziang raised his head suddenly, his face was gloomy, and his thin lips moved lightly twice. There seem to be a thousand words to say, and there seems to be nothing to say.

Finally, he clenched his fists and insisted on asking her, "Where is she?" ”

Jiang Xiaoxi couldn't give an answer at all, since that phone call a year ago, she had already cut off contact with Shen Bai. She had thought that it was she who had found a job and changed her number, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't wait for Shen Bai's contact. She thought about taking advantage of the summer vacation to return to China to have a look, but her studies were so busy that she couldn't spare time at all.

"I don't know." She shook her head.

Chen Ziang's face changed, and his eyes were full of disbelief, but they were replaced by disappointment after a while. Such Chen Ziang, Jiang Xiaoxi doesn't know if Shen Bai has seen it, if she has seen it, she will definitely feel the same as herself, this man already loves her very much.

She still had a lot of experiments to complete, and her classmates were urging her on the side, Jiang Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Ziang again, and stopped talking. In the end, he turned around and left with his classmates.

The next day, Chen Ziang appeared downstairs in her dormitory again. It was raining outside, not much, but continuously. He didn't hold an umbrella and stood under the big tree downstairs, attracting the attention of many people. Jiang Xiaoxi had just finished brewing instant noodles, and before he could take a bite, he was pulled to the window by his roommate.

Her roommate also went to the experiment with her yesterday, and she seemed to recognize Chen Ziang, after all, good-looking men are always easy to remember, let alone a woman who has lived in a place like a medical school that lacks pure yang qi for several years.

Jiang Xiaoxi was lying on the windowsill and looking at the man downstairs, he just raised his head, and his lips moved. Jiang Xiaoxi guessed the sentence that came out with his mouth, probably still, "What about Shen Bai?" ”

She was finally moved by Chen Ziang, the man she had always thought would not fall in love with Shen Bai, but he didn't know when he put Shen Bai on the tip of his heart.

Jiang Xiaoxi went out with an umbrella and took Chen Ziang to a nearby coffee shop. She told Chen Ziang about Shen Bai's last phone call to herself, 1510.

"She said she was tired, Chen Ziang, you should also let it go, let her live a good life."

Chen Ziang was wearing a suit that was wet from the rain, and his hair was slightly messy, but even then he didn't look embarrassed. But after listening to Jiang Xiaoxi's words, the angular features suddenly dimmed a lot. The hands on the table looked a little stiff. He tried to hold the coffee cup, but he couldn't.

Jiang Xiaoxi looked at it, and there was no trace of expectation or hope on his pale face. But there was a puzzling determination, he struggled to suppress his trembling hands, "How can you feel tired when you love someone?" ”

"Chen Ziang, that's because she has always loved you and she is giving, so you naturally won't feel tired." Jiang Xiaoxi has always been worthless for Shen Bai, but now he really wants to finish it in one breath.

"How can you love someone without getting tired? But one person keeps giving, the other person has been habitually enjoying, and the one who gives does not get the return she wants, even a little bit, she will be tired. ”

They all understand, the implication is that Shen Bai has always been the one who pays, and Chen Ziang has always been the one who enjoys.

Outside the glass window, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the car will splash all over the ground as it speeds past. Confused by Chen Ziang's dark eyes, he clenched the cup in his hand and raised his head to look at Jiang Xiaoxi, "But I will never be tired." ”

He was so confident, so impulsive to believe him. And at that time, his expression was the same as now, Jiang Xiaoxi let go of the information in his hand, "So, you deliberately fabricated the news that you were married, and even deliberately let the reporter photograph me, just to take revenge on her?" ”

Chen Ziang pursed his lips, put away his sharp gaze, and said lightly: "It's not for revenge, it's just that I wonder if she cares." ”

After a long time, Jiang Xiaoxi thought of such a sentence, "Chen Ziang, you are really stupid enough, I thought that only a young man in his teens would think of such a childish approach." ”

Chen Zi raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said faintly: "I still lost." ”

He's not just stupid, he's hopeless. He deliberately appeared in front of her with Wen Nan, and let Wen Nan's intimate behavior towards him again and again, just to see how much she cared about him, even if it was only a little. She didn't care at all, and even felt that anyone could have anything to do with him, as long as it wasn't Jiang Xiaoxi.

Even that night, she was just a dewy affair. To this day, when she left the pharmacy, he still remembers the last words she said.

She said: "It's just a one-night stand, we're all adults, we should know." ”

He didn't know, never had.

The corners of Chen Ziang's lips moved, and Jiang Xiaoxi saw it in his eyes but didn't know how to comfort him. put her hand on her lower abdomen, where there was her child who had just been three months pregnant, and changed the topic, "Also, without my consent, you borrowed me to hype it up without permission, and you are not afraid that my husband will come back and beat you." ”

"When will he be back?"

"I'm going through the handover procedures for the next few days, and I'll be on the plane next Tuesday."

Chen Ziang nodded, staring at the newspaper lying flat on the table, "I'll explain it to him clearly." ”

Looking at his serious expression, and falling into a quiet atmosphere again, Jiang Xiaoxi bit his lip and asked cautiously, "Where is Shen Bai now?" I want to know how she's doing, I'm going to find her. ”

"She..."Chen Ziang looked for a cigarette on the seat, but after taking it out, he thought that it was a pregnant woman sitting opposite, and put the cigarette back down, "She is in City C." ”

Telling Jiang Xiaoxi the specific information about Yao Qian, Chen Ziang finally accentuated his voice and instructed: "I don't want her to know about me." ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"I'm not going to get tired."

Jiang Xiaoxi agreed, and before leaving Chen Ziang's office, he deliberately glanced back, and the man had already walked to the window, with his back to the door, staring at the flame-like flower motionlessly. 166 Reading Network
