22.Ch.7 Sec.1
Qin Kaixin took a casserole of braised beef home, naturally she couldn't sleep, as long as she closed her eyes, all she thought about was Pei Chen, his eyes, his smile, and the affectionate confession he had just made, every word seemed to be recorded in her head, and it was replayed in her ears over and over again......
Her heart is still pounding, as if she has returned to her girlhood and experienced the throbbing of adolescence.
What made her most calm was that the person who confessed this time was Pei Chen, Pei Chen!
Think about the embarrassment when she confessed to Pei Chen in front of her classmates, and then think about how Pei Chen is chasing after her now.
This sourness, this pleasure, this blood boiling, this self-expansion!
Turn over the serf and sing, can't sleep, can't sleep!
Qin Kaixin got up and decided to call Xue Man to ask her about Zhan Lingxiao's situation, and by the way, he also told her about himself.
The phone rang several times before it was connected, and on the other end of the phone, Xue Man's voice was a little hoarse.
"Manman, have you arrived? What about icebergs? Qin Kaixin asked.
"I'll be there in the afternoon," he ......," Sherman paused, "it's fine, I'm in the hospital now." β
This tone was wrong as soon as he heard it, and Qin Kaixin asked cautiously: "Then does he need to be hospitalized?" Why does your voice sound so tired? β
Xue Man sighed: "The other person is fine, but he hurt his face and may need surgery." β
Face? Qin Kaixin was shocked, everyone knows what the face means to an artist, if the injury on Zhan Lingxiao's face is already so severe that he is about to undergo surgery, it will definitely be more than just scratching the skin.
Disfigured? Qin Kaixin didn't dare to think deeply, and asked Xue Man: "When will the operation be performed and where?" I'll be with you! β
"No, it's a minor operation, nothing dangerous." Xue Man said, "Don't worry about me, I still have this ability to resist pressure and blows." β
But his face ...... Qin Kaixin was still not at ease, afraid that Xue Man would be strong.
"It's okay, the doctor said that as long as the recovery is good, it shouldn't be very scarred. In fact, if he really has a scar, I think it's good, so as not to make it public in the future, and others say that I covet his beauty, haha. β
Xue Man made a joke, but Qin Kaixin couldn't laugh, she knew that Xue Man's personality was different from hers, no matter how sad she was, her face was full of laughter and understatement.
"I'd better go over and accompany you."
"No, the store is so busy, you have to come over, I'm really not at ease." Sherman was resolute.
"Okay." Qin Kaixin compromised, "But you have to promise me, take good care of yourself, call me if you have something, don't be reckless." β
"Don't worry, I promise you."
Xue Man replied to her, and asked about today's interview, the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone, Qin Kaixin didn't mention Pei Chen's matter the whole time, at this time, it is not suitable, let's talk about it when Xue Man comes back.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, the next day, the news of Zhan Lingxiao's injury spread, the major media made a fuss, and the Internet exploded even more, and keywords such as "Zhan Lingxiao disfigured" appeared on the hot search on Weibo, saying very strictly, and even said that he was still lying in the ICU.
As soon as Qin Kaixin arrived at the "ivory tower", he was surrounded by two employees in the store, Zhan Lingxiao had appeared in their store in a low-key manner a few times before, Xiao Liu and Andy both knew his relationship with Xue Man, and Xiao Liu was still a brain-dead fan of Zhan Lingxiao, and he was even more anxious about the idol's injury like crazy.
"I don't know the specific situation, but I already contacted Man Man yesterday, and she said that Zhan Ling Xiaoren is fine, and there will be no danger to his life, so you can rest assured."
"Really?" Xiao Liu breathed a sigh of relief, "What about my husband's face?" Zhan Lingxiao's fans all call him husband, usually Xue Man is there, Xiao Liu doesn't dare to call, but now when he is in a hurry, he blurts out.
"It's not a big deal, anyway, you can rest assured." Qin Kaixin definitely wouldn't say anything about it.
"Great, it's all nonsense on the Internet, I have to tell the fans the real situation!" After Xiao Liu finished speaking, he added, "Boss, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense about other things." β
"Got it, give you a day off and go spread the word." Qin Kaixin has always been very relieved of his employees, not to mention that the news on the Internet this time is indeed a little too much.
"Yes!" Xiao Liu walked away.
Qin Kaixin turned around with a smile and found that the other clerk, Andy, was looking at her steadily.
"What's wrong? Do you want to take a vacation too? Qin Kaixin asked.
Andy shook his head, and stopped talking: "Boss, I think you ......"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Your face is a little different today." Andy's dad is a fortune teller, and he learned a little bit about fur, and often bluffs the little girls who come to the store.
"What's different?" Qin Kaixin asked.
Andy: "Your eyes are gentle, your face is ruddy, the corners of your mouth are upturned, you're in a good mood, and the most important thing is that you deliberately brushed your hair in front of the mirror when you walked in the door just now." β
Qin Kaixin was embarrassed: "What do you want to say?" β
"Boss, spring is here, are you thinking about spring?"
"Get out!"
A few peach trees in the flower bed outside the door, the flowers were blooming, the wind was blowing, the petals were falling, and Qin Kaixin was simply fascinated when he saw it.
There weren't many people in the store on weekdays, and the two little girls who had just come in were regulars, and Andy had just sat down and started showing them palmistry.
"Congratulations to the beauty, you are going to get off the list this year!"
Off the list?
Hearing this word, Qin Kaixin suddenly became fluttering.
Is she off the list? Pei Chen is her boyfriend now? Boyfriend, this is really a word that makes people's hearts bloom and can't be calmed down at all!
Qin Kaixin couldn't help but open her phone and flipped through her and Pei Chen's WeChat chat history.
Good night before going to bed last night, greetings this morning, although there are not many words, but since she agreed, in the time before the day came, he has taken the initiative to care about her several times, which is exactly the posture that a boyfriend should have.
Oh, how spicy and beautiful this world is!
Qin Kaixin's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and Andy came over and said, "Boss, congratulations, you're going to take off the list too." β
"Xiao Liu is not here, you are working overtime tonight."
AndyοΌββ¦β¦β
The public relations response was very timely, and soon words like "Zhan Lingxiao was disfigured" and "Zhan Lingxiao entered the ICU" were removed from the hot search, but as long as Zhan Lingxiao himself did not appear on the scene, the heat of this matter has always been there, and Xue Man has been accompanying him and has not returned.
Qin Kaixin couldn't be busy alone, but he didn't do it either, reduced the dessert order, and concentrated on making a few dessert tables at hand.
Pei Chen's solo exhibition was finally scheduled for the May Day holiday after many coordination, and there was still more than a month to go, in addition to preparation, he also took some commercial auctions, and his work was also very busy.
But no matter how busy he is, he will still try to come back at dinner time and accompany Qin Kaixin to eat together.
From the first time he nervously knocked on the door opposite, to now running to the opposite side to eat every day, although he still feels like a dream, Qin Kaixin's face has become thicker and thicker every time, and his attitude has become calmer and calmer every time.
No, after the two finished eating, they washed the dishes together again.
Although it is said that they are washed together, usually Pei Chen is in charge of washing the dishes, and Qin Kaixin is just doing it on the side.
"Why don't I wash it today?" Qin Kaixin volunteered, he was really embarrassed to eat and drink for nothing.
"Okay." Pei Chen got out of the way.
Actually, I'm just being polite, do you need to say yes so quickly? Qin Kaixin was embarrassed, rolled up his sleeves and went over to wash the dishes.
The temperature of the water was too high, and when her hand touched the water, she was scalded and shrunk, and she was about to reach out to adjust it, but Pei Chen's hand reached over to help her adjust the temperature.
At this moment, he was standing behind her, tall next to her back, and with a slight movement, the two of them would stick to the kind of distance they would stick to.
Qin Kaixin only felt that the scalded fingers were very hot and hot, and his body temperature spread up little by little.
At this time, Pei Chen's left hand adjusted the temperature on her side, and her right hand reached out from the other side of her body to test the water, so she was trapped, and the bodies of the two were also attached together.
Oh, my God!
Qin Kaixin was almost suffocated, and moved forward in small steps.
Pei Chen didn't care, but said calmly: "This should be about the same, you try, is it still hot?" β
She was hot all over, and she didn't react to what Pei Chen was saying for a while.
"Xiao Xin." Pei Chen said.
"Huh?" She reacted, and as soon as she looked up, the back of her head touched his chin, and she quickly retracted her neck.
"Is the water still hot?" He said.
"Oh......" She stretched out her hand weakly, afraid of accidentally touching him, and moved cautiously.
Suddenly, hers was gently grabbed, Pei Chen took her hand into the water and asked, "How is it, is it still hot?" β
Scald! It's all hot!
Qin Kaixin shook his head: "No...... It's not hot......"
"Won't it be too cold?" After he asked, he continued to hold her hand, still trying to adjust.
"No, I mean it's just right!" Qin Kaixin hurriedly said.
"That's good." He smiled and took a small step back.
Qin Kaixin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he had already bent down, stretched his head to the side of her face, continued to maintain the posture just now, picked up a bowl and said, "Then let's wash it together." β
Yes???
Yes!!!
Qin Kaixin didn't remember how she washed these bowls at all, she only remembered Pei Chen's hand holding her hand, her chin touching her cheek from time to time, as long as she turned around, she could see his slender neck, as well as the Adam's apple on his neck......
I've already eaten enough, why are I so hungry? Qin Kaixin swallowed his saliva and pursed his chapped lips, allowing his attention to concentrate on wiping the bowl.
I rub, I rub......
I'll rub it!
This also makes it impossible to let people live /(γoγ)/~~
As expected, Qin Kaixin had insomnia again that night, but insomnia was good, if she didn't have insomnia, she was afraid that she would have a spring dream all night.
"Menglang", the word Xue Man said, is really getting more and more accurate.
Qin Kaixin, who couldn't sleep, decided to get up and confess the fact that he had disarmed and surrendered like black humor.
However, there was no response to the message, probably busy, right? Qin Kaixin thought like this, but he didn't mind too much.
Opposite, Pei Chen stared at the chat window on the screen.
Strawberry Puff: Brother Hei, I made it clear to my seniors that everything in the past was a misunderstanding. He confessed to me that I could not resist the "sugar-coated shell" of capitalism.
Strawberry Puff: Actually, I think about it, I haven't put it down for so many years, and the main thing is that I can't forget him.
Strawberry Puff: Also, his beef stew is super delicious!
Strawberry Puff: Brother Hei, what about you?
Strawberry Puffs: Busy? I'll just report back to you on the progress without distraction.
Strawberry Puff: Good night, black brother ^_^
There was silence in the room, and he was once again lost in his memory.
His parents, who had been working in the UK that year, finally got a green card and were ready to let him go to the UK to study. The formalities were all completed, and there was only one ticket left, but he disagreed, saying that he would not consider studying abroad until the college entrance examination was over.
In fact, only he knows that it is not a question of whether to take the college entrance examination at all, he just wants to stay in school for one more year, because there is a face that smiles at him every day, and he can't let go of it, and he can't bear it.
However, the accident happened like this, and the sudden death of his father forced him to give up a qiΔ and go abroad to accompany his mother.
He still remembers that in the first week in England, his mother fainted several times because of excessive sadness, and he could not participate in his father's funeral, and he endured the sadness and completed everything with the help of his parents, colleagues and friends.
At the end of a busy week, he finally had time to contact Qin Kaixin, who had not closed his eyes for a few days and nights, and his mind was in a mess.
He remembered her confession before leaving, the sweetness that only lasted for a few hours, the pain of suddenly falling from light to darkness, he didn't know how to deal with it.
At that time, he already knew that it was impossible for him to go back, even if he went back, when the college entrance examination was over, he still had to go abroad and face separation.
Long pain is better than short pain, explain it clearly.
He picked up the phone and dialed the number he had never called, but had always left in his address book.
A girl picked it up.
"Hey, is it Qin Kaixin's family?" He asked.
"Pei Chen?" The person on the other end of the line heard him.
"I'm Pei Chen, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello senior, I'm Kaixin's tablemate Xie Peipei." The girl on the phone introduces herself.
At that time, it was already out of school, and it was not strange for her classmates to be at her house, Pei Chen asked, "Hello, is Xiaoxin at home?" β
"Senior, Xiao Xin doesn't want to talk to you now, just tell me if you have anything."
"What do you mean?"
"She confessed to you, you didn't respond to her, she was almost angry, she said she hated you, told you not to come to her again!"
Dislike.
The word pierced his heart deeply, and if she had begun to hate him now, how would she react if she knew she would not return to China?
At that moment, he retreated, and simply told Xie Peipei about the accident at home, asked her to tell Qin Kaixin, and left his mailbox in the UK, so that she could contact him after the relationship.
However, after all, he still couldn't wait for Qin Kaixin's email, but he received a lot of Xie Peipei's email, talking about how Qin Kaixin hated him, how he said he was bad in front of his classmates, and persuaded him to open a little, and even showed some admiration.
At first, he replied to a few letters, and gradually he discovered the clues.
This qiΔ, until he approached her as a "black humor", slowly revealed the truth.
It turned out that after he went abroad, she had a severe cold and rested at home, Xie Peipei happened to go to her house to see her that day, and accidentally answered the phone call for her.
Xie Peipei didn't tell him anything about the phone call, so she didn't know that he had ever looked for her, let alone what had happened to him.
However, he didn't have time to explain, because by then she had hated him to the core, and he had already settled in England and would not return.
"Black Humor" is her favorite song: "Sad, because I've been bored for a long time, because I've thought too much, it's the psychology that plays a role......"
He thought about it for a long time and struggled for a long time, and finally decided to hide his identity and use "black humor" to silently guard her side.
Now, however, this protection can finally be done by him in the open.
So, where does "black humor" go from here?
Without making any reply, Pei Chen silently closed the computer.
