Toot Toot Toot Toot –

As soon as Xiao Li asked, the phone was cut off, and when he called again, it was already a blind tone. He looked stunned, secretly scolded himself for being careless, turned back to April and said, "I'll go out first, you have a good rest." After speaking, he didn't wait for April's reaction, and hurriedly pushed the door and left.

April was dumbfounded, silently retracting her gaze, in these short three days, she experienced so much at once, she was suddenly a little caught off guard. On the bedside table lay a half-peeled apple, and next to it was a long circle of apple peels, and if you looked closely, the peel was still attached to the flesh. What Xiao Li said was really good.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and smiled, not knowing what she was laughing at. So, she put away her smile, closed her eyes, and the downward curve of the corners of her mouth made her look a little indifferent.

***

The time spent lying in the hospital bed passed very quickly, and a few days later the nurse removed the stitches, and the wound was still painful, but she was able to move slowly. She would sometimes try to get out of bed and walk a few steps, but she wouldn't get out of the room. Xia Bai didn't come to see her again, maybe because she was very busy, but the food brought by the nurse was rich in variety, and it was not the same every day, it was all delicious and nutritious ingredients, obviously ordered by someone.

April already feels very satisfied.

However, Xiao Li, who was supposed to be very busy, came over again one afternoon a few days later.

April was amazed that all detectives were so idle.

This Xiao Li seemed to have a mind-reading skill, knocked her forehead, and said with a smile: "I was kind enough to come to see you, and you dislike me so much." However, seeing that her face has a little more blood than before in the past few days, she is a little relieved.

"The weather is pretty good today, I'll take you out for a walk around the hospital."

April was just about to refuse, but the man had already put the slippers just right, and put his hands on her shoulders, intending to force her up. Seeing this, April could only purse his lips helplessly and compromised. She was wearing slippers, her arms were supported by Xiao Li, and she walked very slowly.

As soon as she walked out, she was dazzled by the sunlight in her face. She hadn't been in the sun for a long, long time, and she used to be busy with the barbecue business, and she was out day and night, so she didn't have the leisure to enjoy the sun at all. Earlier, she was used to the darkness and did not have the opportunity to see the sun at all.

As if sensing her discomfort, Xiao Li quietly turned his body sideways, blocking the dazzling light.

"You, you don't often come out and walk around, you want to bask in the sun more and photosynthesize more, haha." Xiao Li had a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had hidden a trace of tenderness.

April pursed her lips, showed a light smile, suddenly thought of something, and asked him: "What's wrong with that, did you catch him?" ”

When the man heard this, his eyes were cold, and his smile lost its temperature, "His whereabouts are erratic, and as soon as we have a clue, he can hide in a place we don't know, cunning like a snake." ”

April thought back to that ephemeral side, remembered that she was lying on the operating table, and the last look she left for her, gentle and pityful, suddenly felt cold all over her body.

What kind of man is that, at first sight, I only think that he is gentle and hearty, and it is easy for people to withdraw their hearts against him, but when he finally leaves, he can withdraw decisively without delay, and laugh coldly and compassionately.

"Don't mention him, he is depressed when he thinks about it." Xiao Li took her to sit on the leisure bench beside her.

April came back to her senses, felt the warmth of the sun shining on her, and smiled, "Okay." ”

When parting, April asked Xiao Li if she had Xia Bai's contact information, Xiao Li was stunned when she heard it, as if she didn't expect that she didn't have Xia Bai's phone number. He didn't ask much, just smiled and mentioned: "After sending you from the warehouse to the hospital, I called Xia Bai to call her over, it is estimated that Xia Bai has a big heart, and I forgot to leave you a number for later contact." ”

April didn't mention that Xia Bai had found himself before, and only nodded in agreement.

"Give me your phone." Uncle Xiao Li seemed to spread his palms towards her.

April silently handed over the phone, and silently watched the other party quickly and skillfully press a series of numbers, change the notes and save them.

"This is Xia Bai's number, I'll keep my number for you, and I'll ask Xia Bai to go out with you for a big meal in a few days, and it will be a class reunion." Talking to himself, he dialed his own with April's cell phone, and when the bell rang in his trouser pocket, he gently tossed it back to her.

"You should also come out to gather more, there is only one Ah Yu in the mobile phone address book, what the hell is it, how boring life is without a social circle." Xiao Libian saved the April number and told her verbosity.

"Hmm." She answered softly,

"Okay, I should go back too, there is still something in the bureau, you can rest first, and I will come to see you another day." He put his phone in his pocket, patted his trouser leg, and stretched his waist widely, looking like a sleepy-eyed lazy cat.

"Be careful along the way."

"I will. Bow. ”

"Well, goodbye."

When Xiao Li's back disappeared behind the door, she grabbed the mobile phone in her hand for a while, and then opened the address book, there were already two more contacts, and the names of Xia Bai and Xiao Li were in front of Ah Yu.

April hesitated for a moment, slowly clicked Xia Bai's name, and then a string of numbers appeared, she swept roughly, and was particularly impressed by the last number. The number on the note left by Xia Bai, the last number was cut through the paper by using too much force, it was the number 9, and the last number at the moment was 1, and sure enough, Xia Bai wrote it wrong.

I guess I wrote it in a hurry and accidentally wrote it wrong. This thought flashed through April's mind, and then she didn't pay attention to it, only moved her body slightly, and carefully lay down on the bed. The most important thing for her now is to take care of her body, and when Ah Yu comes back, the two of them will run the barbecue stall separately, and strive to pay off the money owed to Xia Bai as soon as possible.

She waited for Xia Bai's good news with peace of mind, and another week of waiting passed.

The wounds on her body had scabbed, and she could basically walk on her own as long as it wasn't for strenuous exercise. Living in the hospital for half a month, this is a lot of money, although Xia Bai paid for it, but she can't just live with peace of mind.

Xia Bai didn't show up for a long time, and he didn't call, and April couldn't help but be a little worried, wondering if something had happened. After thinking about it, she decided to call Xia Bai, but it was still daytime, and she was afraid that Xia Bai was busy and calling over would disturb her.

Later, the doctor came to check on her wound recovery and said that she was recovering well and could be discharged from the hospital. April also felt that his body was about to get moldy if he stayed like this, so he began to plan to be discharged from the hospital. After dinner in the evening, April looked at his phone, calculated the time, and called Xia Bai at half past eight.

During the time period of waiting for the connection, she was a little apprehensive, after all, no matter how good the relationship was, she hadn't seen her for ten years, and no matter how good the friendship was, it would be dusty. The bell rang for a while and no one answered, until a blind beep came out, and April hesitated for a moment and dialed it again.

I thought that if no one answered, I would have to call again tomorrow, and I thought about the procedures to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and what barbecue ingredients to purchase when I went home. Until a human voice came from the phone-

"Hello?"

Hearing the expected voice, April was no wonder a little stunned, and the person on the phone seemed to be a little impatient, and asked again.

His voice was a little hoarse, like a jade rubbing past, and even his impatient tone was so low that it was almost seductive.

For a while, the first thing that came to April's mind was that Xiao Li gave her the wrong number, and after a pause of a few seconds, she asked tentatively: "Hello, I'm looking for Xia Bai?" ”

"Huh."

The other party seemed to be laughing, heavy, sullen, always with a sense of dampness, and the peculiar voice reached her ears, and her ears seemed to be a little numb. April wondered if she had made the wrong call again?

"Excuse me, is Xia Bai here?"

The man didn't speak, he raised his goblet and shook it at the light, the burgundy liquid swirling and churning in the transparent glass, and the intoxicating aroma of wine slowly spread. On the other end of the phone, the woman was equally silent. He closed his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes twitching, fantasizing about the expression of the woman over there.

"Sorry, I may have made the wrong call." In the middle of the night, the woman's slightly cold voice sounded.

Syllable!!!

Suddenly, the screeching sound of the glass breaking almost pierced the eardrum. April frowned uncomfortably, her heart beating slowly, vaguely aware of something.

"You did it on purpose." As if to prove her judgment, the man lowered his voice and said word by word full of malice: "Lin April, you are really ghostly. ”

After saying this sentence with a vengeful nature, Gu Qingyan hung up the phone with a snap.

His eyes swept to the crimson stained on the snow-white bathrobe, he frowned in disgust, and simply untied the bathrobe and threw it on the sofa.

In the dim light of the bedroom, the man's thin upper body was □□ outside, and the dazzling white flesh had a sickly beauty. He casually pulled a sheet over his body, stepped on the soft-soled cartoon doll slippers, and kicked open the door of the second bedroom with his long legs. Brush brush turned on all the lights in the room, the door was wide open, and he slipped into the quilt wrapped in a sheet.

The movement outside was a little bigger, Xia Bai didn't care about wiping her body milk, she walked out while wiping her hair, and suddenly saw the messy debris on the ground and the wine stains on the sofa, and the room was empty, she suddenly felt a little flustered.

Walking through the corridor looking for Gu Qingyan's figure, looking around, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the door of a guest room was open, and some lights were scattered in the corridor outside the door, converging into a warm circle of light. Xia Bai's heart was relieved, she walked to the door of the guest room, staring at the curled up ball on the bed, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

Knock Knock Knock –

She buckled the door with her fingers, leaned against the door, and said in a soft voice, "Don't sleep like this, you will suffocate yourself." ”

The man turned over, turned his back to her, lowered the quilt, and his voice was a little cold: "You sleep in the master bedroom today, I'm going to sleep." ”

Xia Bai's heart suddenly burst out when she heard this, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her white teeth bit her lower lip tightly, "But, how can you ...... like this" The man interrupted her words and said lightly: "Good, you should go to bed early, I'm sleepy." There was an imperceptible detachment in the lingering and charming tone.

He didn't even look back at her.

The tip of her nose was a little sore, and she blinked, and then blinked, dissipating the wetness that filled her eyes. Gu Qingyan doesn't like women's tears, he likes women's soft voices, gentle and delicate. It turns out that there is something left over from the past years.

Alone back in the master bedroom, facing the mess and coldness of the room, she felt at a loss for a moment. After standing there for a moment, she turned to get the cleaning tools and silently cleaned them up. After tidying up, the body that has just taken a shower already has a sticky feeling.

She sat on the sofa very tired, and suddenly noticed something pressing under her buttocks, and her hand fumbled to pull it out, and it turned out to be her mobile phone. casually opened the screen, swiped the screen lock, and a row of call records appeared on the interface, and the latest call record was an unfamiliar number, and it was speculated that it was just when she took a shower.

Thinking of Gu Qingyan's abnormality just now, in a flash of light, she suddenly knew who this number was.

Qingyan recognized Lin April, as early as that rainy day, he recognized her. She should have realized why she mentioned the loan shark she owed in April three times and twice, and he would change the topic and avoid talking about it, he clearly wanted April to find him by himself.

She felt a little ridiculous, and did everything possible to prevent them from meeting, thinking that in this way she could protect this illusory happiness. Oh, she almost forgot that Gu Qingyan and Lin April had never been in love with each other.

Ten years ago, she Xia Bai was the proud daughter of the sky, and her ten fingers did not touch the spring water, and ten years later, she was the mud on the ground that was trampled on. She has learned to compromise and tolerate, but there are some things that she will not let go of if she says anything.
