Chapter 43: Spread out
Zhao Xiaoting fell asleep for a long time, and woke up again and the morning sun came in through the gap in the curtains. She only felt weak www.biquge.info her whole body, and there was a faint pain in her chest. It's been many, many years since she last had an allergic reaction, when she was a little kid and spent many days in the hospital where she almost killed herself, and then her parents didn't allow her to eat anything pepper-related or snacks, basically putting an end to her habit of eating outside.
She couldn't help but touch her chest, and suddenly missed her parents. During this time, I couldn't tell a lot of things in my heart, I was not a fragile person, but this allergic reaction became the last straw that crushed her.
When Li Zeyuan pushed the door in, he heard a slight sob. He froze in place, in his memory, Zhao Xiaoting basically never cried, and always smiled and passed. Zhao Xiaoting also heard the sound, hurriedly wiped away her tears, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. She heard footsteps getting closer and closer, and finally stopped.
"You're not feeling well now, stop crying, get up and eat something!" Li Zeyuan stood on the edge of the bed and placed the tray on the bedside table beside him.
Zhao Xiaoting blinked, sat up, didn't raise her eyes to look at him, just silently ate white porridge. Li Zeyuan sat down and looked at her: "I'm sorry, Xuan Nong didn't mean to, don't blame her." My sister-in-law gets up early in the morning to make you breakfast, I hope you can forgive them. ”
"I don't blame them, my sister-in-law is so good to me!" After eating two mouthfuls of white porridge, Zhao Xiaoting put it down.
"After a while, Dr. Xie will come and examine you. However, it should be no big deal, and you should have a good rest for a few days! Li Zeyuan helped her straighten her messy hair.
Zhao Xiaoting looked at him, as if she had made a lot of determination: "Li Zeyuan, you are not gay, are you?" ”
Li Zeyuan's hand paused, and then continued to arrange her hair casually: "I told you a long time ago that I am not, but you always listen to it as a joke." ”
"So you've had a girlfriend before, right?"
"Yes, when she was in the United States, but she didn't contact her again after graduation and returned to China."
"What happened to you and Joe at the dessert shop that day?"
"Just to fulfill his wishes, and from then on, he started his life again, and I got rid of his freaked love."
"Hehehehe...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! Zhao Xiaoting laughed a little miserably, her chest was so uncomfortable that it seemed to explode, and she began to cough violently. Li Zeyuan wanted to help her pat her on the back, but she pushed her away, "Ahem, I'm so stupid!" From beginning to end, I will show you like a fool, you don't say anything, let me be clever and make a fool......"
Li Zeyuan hugged her who was excited, and said softly: "I have never fooled you, from the agreement to go back to your hometown with you to meet your parents to register the wedding, we all got married according to normal procedures." I'm your husband, you're my wife! ”
"Oh, Mr. and Mrs." Zhao Xiaoting sneered, "Don't tell me, you are serious in this fake marriage." Have you forgotten why I agreed to marry you? Money! I married you because of the embarrassment of life, for money, for escape, and for comfort! ”
"Then you just keep running away and stay comfortable!" Li Zeyuan restrained her and didn't let her get too excited.
"So what! I'm running away from my comfort, what do you want? It can't just be a fake relationship, right? Zhao Xiaoting is actually very calm, even a little desperate, she can guess what he wants, no normal man wants to live the life of a monk for the rest of his life.
"You know what I want, and for so long I hope you understand that I am not going to force you, and I hope you will reconsider our relationship. I'll give you time, but not for long. Li Zeyuan looked at her, his eyes piercing into her soul.
"If I don't ask you today, when are you going to tell me this?" Zhao Xiaoting still smiled miserably, if she were someone else, she should be ecstatic when she encountered this situation, Li Zeyuan, a superb man like Li Zeyuan, is willing to have nothing, you are how many people ask for happiness, but they are abandoned by themselves.
"I don't know! But you saw it and gave me the opportunity. ”
"Oh, I'm wrong again!"
"No, you're right! You chose the right time, because I also want to break this strange relationship of ours. ”
Listening to his words, Zhao Xiaoting opened her mouth slightly, she wanted to say something, but she still didn't say anything after all, what could she say! Even regret it is too late.
"Knock knock!" A knock on the door broke the silence between the two, Li Zeyuan got up to open the door, and his sister-in-law and Li Xuannong were standing at the door.
"Xiaoting woke up, I really couldn't help her yesterday." Li Zeyuan let them into the house, and his sister-in-law kept apologizing to him.
"Sister-in-law, don't think about it, yesterday was just an accident, Xuan Nong didn't mean it, Xiaoting didn't blame you." Li Zeyuan comforted.
Zhao Xiaoting sat on the bed and heard their conversation outside, and hurriedly got out of bed and put on her shoes. Before they could get to the bedroom, she went out first. "Sister-in-law, Xuannon!"
"Oh, why are you up, hurry back to bed and lie down." Chen Meihua hurriedly came over and hugged her, as if she was some serious patient.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, I've basically recovered after a night's rest. I'm embarrassed to make such a big fuss. Zhao Xiaoting took her hand and looked at Li Xuannong again, "I'm sorry, your craftsmanship is really good, and it is also my poor body that destroys the harmonious atmosphere of the family, Xuannong won't blame me!" ”
"It was my fault! I should have asked everyone about their taboos in advance, otherwise there would have been such a big mistake, and the third aunt would have suffered this crime in vain. Li Xuannon was still standing in place, standing face to face with Zhao Xiaoting and not close.
"It's all over, don't mention it! Sister-in-law, Xuan Nong will return to the United States in two days, you should accompany her more. Li Zeyuan is considerate. After Dr. Xie completed the examination and confirmed that there was no problem, the sister-in-law's heart was completely calmed.
Although the allergy was not very serious this time, Zhao Xiaoting was still ordered to recuperate at home for a few days, and the school had already asked for leave, and even alarmed Ally and Zhao Feng to come to visit the patient, which made Zhao Xiaoting very embarrassed.
"I think Willy is quite weird," Ally chatted as she ate fruit, "although I am in England, I often go to the United States to play, and every time I go to her city to see her, she always looks cold and never takes the initiative to look for me." ”
"People have different temperaments, but I think Li Xuannon is quite suitable for the shopping mall, calm, indifferent and even a little unkind! It seems to be quite similar to the temper of the third child! Zhao Feng said slowly. It's rare that she didn't have a baby at home today.
"Cut, Li Xuannon is not like the third brother. How good is the third brother, responsible for his family, so loving Xiaoting, and so many sincere friends...... "In Ally's heart, Li Zeyuan is definitely a model of the perfect male god.
"You only saw him in front of us, but you didn't see him decisive in the mall, otherwise, why do you think the old man handed over such a big business to him is because he likes his ability." Zhao Feng disagreed, she had known Li Zeyuan for a long time, and they were close in age, so they naturally knew him better than Ally.
Zhao Xiaoting listened to them talk about Li Zeyuan, and her thoughts became scattered. Now that she is in a predicament, she does not dare to move forward or retreat, Li Zeyuan has made it clear what she means, and she has almost no choice. Now Zhao Xiaoting is a rice worm attached to Li Zeyuan, even if she wants to jump out of this relationship, it will be difficult for her to find a job to support herself in a short period of time, not to mention that getting married and divorced in a short period of time will not hurt her as much as the damage to the reputation of the Li family, especially Li Zhihe's poor health.
"Xiaoting, Xiaoting...... What are you thinking? Ally shouted a few times, but Zhao Xiaoting didn't reply.
"Oh, nothing. What were you guys talking about? Zhao Xiaoting came back to her senses and saw that they were looking at her with great concern.
"I mean, third sister-in-law, you will be more vigilant against Li Xuannong in the future, how dangerous it is this time, you are also stupid, you should be able to drink the pepper flavor in one sip, you just drink a bowl and don't know." Ally was still in tatters.
"I had a cold that day, and my nose and mouth didn't smell much." Zhao Xiaoting explained.
"Well, Xiaoting has also learned a lesson this time. Ally, just say a few words. Zhao Feng reconciled in the middle. Ally is straightforward, and Zhao Xiaoting will only talk like this if she treats her as a true friend.
