58 Shen Ting
After leaving the café, Liu Xin walked along the Thames River for a while, looked at the scenery along the way, and also met some pedestrians, including handsome guys and beauties with blond hair and blue eyes, and a family of three who went out for a walk.
Along the way, no matter how beautiful the surrounding scenery is and how good the atmosphere is, it seems that all this has nothing to do with Liu Xin, she is about to leave the city after all, and her mood is inevitably low.
Liu Xin sat by the Thames for a long time, feeling the rise and fall of the history that has been precipitated here for thousands of years, and admiring the prosperity of the two sides of the river, until Huang Chen called and asked her where she was, Liu Xin remembered to go back.
Back at home, Huang Chen hadn't gotten off work yet, and Liu Xin decided to cook him a sumptuous dinner, a parting dinner.
Liu Xin and Huang Chen went to the supermarket two days ago to buy a purchase, there are all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator, Liu Xin opened the refrigerator and chose for a long time, and finally decided to make sirloin steak, corn soup, tuna potato salad, mushroom matsutake pasta and almond cream apple pie, and then open a bottle of 84-year-old Lafite. The wine was bought during the last trip to France, and when Liu Xin asked Huang Chen if he could buy it, he didn't expect to take it out and drink it at this time. Well, now it's just in time to come in handy.
When Huang Chen came back from work, he saw a sumptuous dinner on the table, and asked in surprise: "Liu Xin, is this a holiday?" ”
Liu Xin happened to come out of the kitchen with tuna and potato salad, Huang Chen hurriedly came over to help, Liu Xin happened to hand it to him, and said with a smile: "As long as you are happy, every day can be regarded as a holiday." ”
Huang Chen put the tuna and potato salad in his hand on the table, and said, "It looks delicious, and I have a good taste today." He turned his head to look at Liu Xin with a smile in his eyes, "Speaking of which, it's the first time I've eaten your Western food." ”
It has been several months since the two of them were neighbors, and they have been cooking together every day, but Liu Xin has always cooked Chinese food, and Huang Chen has never eaten Western food made by Liu Xin, this time it feels really different.
"Then you can eat more." Liu Xin said with a smile.
The reason why she can cook Western food is that she has never cooked it for Huang Chen, and she will leave after this dinner, at least to make Huang Chen satisfied, so as to thank him for taking care of her for a long time.
Huang Chen didn't know Liu Xin's thoughts, and said cheerfully: "That's certain, I like to eat everything you make." ”
Everything has been prepared and put on the table, and the wine has been brewed and awakened. Gentleman Huang Chen pulled out the chair very much and asked Liu Xin to sit down at the table, and then turned to sit on the chair opposite.
"Let's go." Huang Chen said with a smile.
"Have a glass of wine bar." Liu Xin raised his glass.
"Okay." Huang Chen then raised his glass, "Cheers! ”
A dinner can be regarded as a good meal.
After dinner, the two sat on the sofa together and played games for a while, until it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, when Liu Xin said that he was tired and wanted to rest, and Huang Chen left.
Huang Chen walked to the door, turned back to Liu Xin and said, "See you tomorrow." ”
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Liu Xin's expression was natural and authentic.
After Huang Chen left, the door was closed, and the door separated two people, Liu Xin stood at the door for a while, and said softly: "Huang Chen, take care." ”
Parting is always not so comfortable, and sadness is inevitable.
It took two hours for Liu Xin to collect the luggage to take away, in fact, her luggage was not much, when she came, a box was not full, but she had lived in London for so many months, and she had added some things, and now she was about to leave and just filled a box, some things that were not necessary, and she didn't plan to ask for them. Huang Chen is here, and after she leaves, there is no need to think that he will come to help her clean up, so there is nothing to worry about.
Liu Xin booked a plane in the morning, she actually didn't know where to go, Huang's mother didn't want her to have contact with Huang Chen again, she didn't want to stay in the UK, she looked at it casually when booking a ticket, there happened to be a ticket to Paris, France, she booked one without thinking about it.
Liu Xin went out with his luggage very early in the morning, and Huang Chen's house opposite was still very quiet, the door was closed, and he should still be sleeping.
After standing in the corridor, Liu Xin took the elevator downstairs, and then stopped a taxi and went directly to the airport.
Soon arrived at the airport, Liu Xin paid the money and got off the bus.
I didn't sleep much all night, I went out early in the morning, Liu Xin was tired and hungry, and the plane had more than an hour to take off, so she was going to eat something and rest.
However, what Liu Xin never expected was that she would meet Shen Ting here, yes, it was Leng Lie's friend Shen Ting.
Sometimes I feel that the earth is actually quite large, with 70% water, 30% land, and 7.2 billion people in 221 countries.
But sometimes fate is such a strange thing, which should not be encountered, but it seems that it is destined in the dark, and it will always meet one day.
When Shen Ting recognized Liu Xin and called her from behind, Liu Xin thought that someone had called her wrong, how could anyone know her in this strange and foreign airport?
Hesitating and turning around, Liu Xin saw the person standing behind him, "Shen Ting......"
There were several people standing behind him, Shen Ting was standing in the middle, next to his secretary, and a few other staff members were standing a little behind, and it seemed that they must have come to England on a business trip.
"It's really you." Shen Ting was dressed in a gray suit, smiling, looking at Liu Xin with gentle eyes, and there was some surprise in his eyes, he didn't expect to meet her here.
"Do you have time?" Shen Ting recovered from the initial shock and made an invitation at the right time, "I want to talk to you." He finally met, and he felt that there was something he should tell her.
Seeing that it was still early, Liu Xin nodded, "Okay." ”
Sitting down at a nearby breakfast shop, Shen Ting ordered something for Liu Xin to eat, but he didn't ask for anything himself.
While waiting for things to come up, Shen Ting sat opposite Liu Xin and asked her, "Where are you going to go so early?" ”
Liu Xin felt that he didn't need to tell a lie, even if he made up a lie to prevaricate now, if Leng Lie or Shen Ting really wanted to investigate, he would still be able to find out, at most, it would only take the length of time.
Thinking about this, Liu Xin said: "I booked a ticket to Paris, France. ”
Shen Ting frowned slightly, "Just you?" "As a pregnant woman with a big belly, is it really good to run around alone?
"Yes, alone." Liu Xin replied affirmatively.
"Why didn't Huang Chen accompany you?" Shen Ting's whole handsome face collapsed, and he was very angry at Huang Chen's behavior of letting pregnant women run around without accompanying him, and he didn't know the true relationship between Liu Xin and Huang Chen.
At this time, the waiter brought the sandwich and milk, Liu Xin said thank you to the waiter, and after the waiter left, Liu Xin smiled and said: "Huang Chen and I are not the kind of relationship you think, so of course he will not accompany me." ”
Shen Ting was stunned for three seconds before he realized what Liu Xin meant and asked, "Then the child in your belly...... Nor is it his? ”
Liu Xin said with a smile: "I don't seem to have said that the child is his, the child belongs to me alone." Speaking of the second half of the sentence, Liu Xin looked serious.
This fact is too much beyond what he guessed at the beginning, Shen Ting couldn't accept it for a while, you must know that they all thought that Liu Xin betrayed Leng Lie, it was Liu Xin who hooked up with Huang Chen immediately after breaking up with Leng Lie, or hooked up together before they broke up, and found out that they were pregnant a month after the breakup, is there anything faster than this?
But now the party Liu Xin told him that the child has nothing to do with Huang Chen, and she has nothing to do with Huang Chen.
It took two minutes to sort it out in his mind, Shen Ting digested the news, and looking at Liu Xin in front of him, he felt that he should still care, at least to help his good brother say good things, and fight for an opportunity.
"How are you doing during this time?"
Liu Xin ate a sandwich in her mouth, she chewed a few times and swallowed it, took a sip of milk, wiped it with a napkin, and said, "It's good." ”
"But Leng Lie is not good." Shen Ting remembered that dark days and felt sorry for Leng Lie, "He almost died for you"
Liu Xin's hand holding the sandwich paused obviously, and an inexplicable sadness came to her heart, she didn't know that after she left, such a thing happened, Liu Xin opened her mouth, "I remember that he has always been in good health, how could he ......"
Shen Ting said: "He often works hard, and his meals are extremely irregular, and he has always had stomach problems...... On the day you left, he had a stomach problem, and the doctor asked him to be hospitalized, and he wanted to go to you, but he didn't listen to the doctor's arrangement...... He has been following you to many countries until you meet Huang Chen and see you and Huang Chen together...... Later, you and Huang Chen went to the hospital to find out that they were pregnant, and Leng Lie couldn't stand it anymore and went back...... In the days when you were away, he drank a lot of alcohol every day, then had a stomach ulcer and hemorrhage, and was in the hospital for half a month...... Until now, his stomach is not very good, and he works so hard that he doesn't care about his body at all. We can't do anything about him, and we can't persuade him to listen. ”
Liu Xin's hand holding the milk cup tightened and tightened, and his heart hurt so much that he was about to cry, "I'm sorry, I don't know ...... of these."
"Can you go back and see him?" Shen Ting tried to ask.
“……”
Seeing that Liu Xin didn't speak, Shen Ting continued to persuade her, "I think if he will be happy to see you, you can go back and see him, okay?" ”
“……”
I didn't expect Liu Xin to be so indifferent and didn't say a word, Shen Ting was anxious, "Liu Xin, count me begging you if it's okay, Leng Lie really misses you, you just go back and see him, okay?" ”
Liu Xin bit his lip and looked at Shen Ting sadly, "I'm sorry, I haven't thought about it yet, can you give me more time?" ”
Before meeting Shen Ting, Liu Xin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his decision to leave Leng Lie. Because in that case, she really can't hold on any longer, every day she faces Leng Li, every day she loves a little more, her sadness and pain will be a little more, so she will choose to leave.
Later, she went to so many countries, and her mood gradually improved during the journey, and then she met Huang Chen again, and was taken care of by Huang Chen, she also found out that she was pregnant with a child, she had her own baby, God was not thin on her, she was very content, and she was very happy, she felt that even if there was no coldness, she could live well.
But now Shen Ting told her that Leng Lie had a bad life without her, and Leng Lie almost died for her. Leng Lie is such a proud person, from the past life to this life, he has his own persistence, but now he is so fragile that he is vulnerable.
This fact made Liu Xin very sad, she suddenly had doubts about her original decision, she didn't know whether her choice was right or wrong, and she even began to be confused, not knowing how to go on the road ahead.
"Can you give me some more time to think it through?" Liu Xin looked at Shen Ting with a white face and begging.
With such a weak look, Shen Ting's heart softened, no matter how much he hoped that Liu Xin would go back to see Leng Lie immediately, but he didn't dare to push her too much. He was afraid that he would overexert himself and make things worse, and now he could only follow her.
"Well, I respect what you mean." Shen Ting said.
"Thank you." Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Ting continued: "Then do you want to go to France next?" ”
"Hmm."
"My next stop is also to France, let's go together." Shen Ting was afraid that people would run away again, so he launched an urgent staring mode.
Liu Xin looked up at him suddenly.
Shen Ting shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I forgot to say it earlier. ”
Liu Xin: "......"
