23. First love
After all, he stayed in a strange place, and April didn't dare to touch things, so he just nestled on the sofa and watched TV boredly. The TV screen is very large, I don't know how many times bigger than the small TV at her home, and there are many channels, but she still feels uncomfortable.
Xia Bai made a cup of coffee and took it to the study, at this time people should be enjoying the time between the two. She felt a little redundant, like a big light bulb that affected other people's alone time.
Too much has happened today, and now that I am alone, I have time to think about my life in the future. When the injury is healed, she has to go back and pack her clothes, and as for the rented house, leave it to Qi Yu.
By the way, there is also the diamond necklace that Xia Bai gave her, how could she forget this, how can such valuable objects be hidden in the drawer with confidence, even if it is locked, it can't prevent thieves.
Thinking about it like this, she was a little anxious, and she didn't know if Ah Yu had come back, what to do if there was no one at home at night. Just when she was thinking nonsense, Xia Bai came out, Xu is the expression on her face was a little wrong, Xia Bai came over and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”
April squirmed her lower lips, and suddenly felt a little ashamed, she didn't take good care of what Xia Bai gave her.
"The necklace you gave me, I was left at home." She bowed her head deeply, a little uneasy.
When Xia Bai heard this, he was stunned, and hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, just go back and get it when you're injured." ”
"But ......" April is not at ease.
"No, but." Xia Bai stretched out his hand and pressed it on her shoulder, frowned and thought for a while: "If you don't worry, I'll help you go and come back soon." ”
April twisted his eyebrows and thought for a while, and felt that there was only this way, so he raised his hand and attached it to the back of Xia Bai's hand, and thanked him solemnly: "Xia Bai, thank you, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
"What's the trouble isn't troublesome." The woman smiled, "By the way, did you bring the key?" ”
"No, but there's a brick in the corner of the doorway, and I've left a spare key there, so you can see it if you go."
"Hmm. Where do you put your necklace in your home. ”
"I put it in the third locked drawer of the bedroom cabinet, and I put the key in the pocket of a goose-yellow tweed coat in the closet. You can find it if you go and look carefully. "April said in detail.
"Okay." Xia Bai straightened up, clapped his hands, turned back to April who was sitting on the sofa and said, "You wait first, I'll be back in a while." ”
"Well, then you should be careful on the road." April cares.
"Don't worry, I'm good at driving."
When he arrived at the house he rented in April, parked the car, and looked at the swarthy hallway in front of him, Xia Bai couldn't help frowning. The house in the old town is several years old, the appearance is shabby, the property is not perfect, I really don't know how April got used to living here. The voice-activated switch at the staircase was broken, and she had no choice but to take advantage of the faint light of her mobile phone to walk up slowly.
Luckily, April's house was on the third floor, and she didn't climb too many stairs. When she arrived at her destination, she saw that the door was slightly open, and some light leaked out of the crack in the door, she froze, and after thinking about it, she knew that Qi Yu should have returned.
She knocked lightly on the dangling door, and before she could ask, the door opened from the inside.
"April, you're back." Qi Yu had a surprised smile on his face, and when he saw Xia Bai's face clearly, the smile on his face froze, leaving only a trace of bitterness, "Why are you?" What about April? ”
"Won't you invite me in and sit down?" Xia Bai didn't answer the rhetorical question.
The man rubbed his hands together and slowly stepped out of the way, "Come in." ”
His voice was weak, and he was haggard, just like what she had seen at the beginning. I knew this was the case, so why bother in the first place, I sighed in my heart and walked into the house. When her eyes fell on the dishes on the table that had not yet been put away, her face turned cold, and it was not difficult to imagine how embarrassed April would be when she faced all kinds of eyes from everyone alone.
"Did April get you here?"
The man's voice sounded behind her.
Xia Bai didn't answer his question, but said, "April will stay with me for a few days, and when she is discouraged, I will naturally let her come back." When the time comes, you will explain the misunderstanding between you to her yourself. She concealed something, and said something specious and avoidable.
When Qi Yu heard this, his previous worries were put down, and he asked with some guilt: "Then did she say anything to you, she ...... Will you forgive me. If he hadn't accidentally discovered Qin Qin's call record, he wouldn't have known that the conversation record between him and her had been heard by April when he thought of the time at that time. Fortunately, he didn't give up and took Qin Qin to the hospital, it turned out that she was not pregnant at all, and she deliberately lured him out just to ruin his wedding.
He knew that he was sorry for April, and he was fooling around with Qin Qin for a while, but he really wanted to marry April and be good to her. As long as April can forgive him, he is willing to do whatever he is asked to do.
Xia Bai quietly looked at the man in front of him, this cowardly man who couldn't stand the temptation. She couldn't help but think, how could April be with him, such a man, she looked down on him.
But she still spoke softly: "April she didn't say anything, and she didn't say anything bad about you. She's just trying to calm down, and when she's figured it out, she'll come back to you. ”
"Really?" The man's face was full of disbelief and panic.
At this moment, Xia Bai thought, maybe he really likes April, but his love for her is not so pure.
"Really." Gently and skillfully gave her affirmation, ignoring the ecstasy on his face, and only said, "Let me come and go for one thing in April." ”
"What's that?" When she came back to her senses, Qi Yu looked at her eagerly with a face full of enthusiasm.
"I gave her a diamond necklace."
"Wait, I'll get it for you." He replied attentively, and after speaking, hurried to the bedroom, only to hear a rummaging sound, and after a while, it was quiet.
The man walked over quickly, Xia Bai raised his eyes, Qi Yu was holding the box in his hand, and handed it to her with a look of dedication.
She slowly opened the box, and in an instant, the diamond necklace in her hand radiated a brilliant light under the direct light. From a distance, I only saw the flickering brilliance, as if holding a mini neon feather coat. Xia Bai looked at it with obsessive eyes, and involuntarily stroked his hand up, slowly rubbing the surface of the tourmaline pendant, again and again.
Her first love.
"What did April ask you to do with the necklace?"
The man's curious words remembered, and instantly woke her up from her dream, the woman was stunned, and came back to her senses, "April thought that you weren't at home, and you didn't worry about putting the necklace at home, so let me come over and get it." ”
"Oh." Qi Yu nodded, and said, "Then can you help me say more good things in front of April after you go back, I know that I was wrong, and in the future, I will never have any contact with Qin Qin again." By the way, Qin Qin is not pregnant, she lied to me, you must tell her these words, tell her, I have been waiting for her, waiting for her to come back. ”
What the man said was sincere, Xia Bai narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "I will relay it on my behalf." ”
"Thank you." The man was grateful.
Xia Bai saw it, his smile deepened, and he said softly in his heart, I will help you, and I am also helping myself.
After saying goodbye to Qi Yu and driving away, Xia Bai's depressed mood improved, and he even had a smile on his face. She didn't believe that after two years of relationship, April was able to let go lightly.
When I returned to Gu's house, April was still sitting on the sofa, there was a funny variety show on TV, and the woman seemed to be watching it very seriously, but there was no smile. Xia Bai glanced at it and asked, "Is the TV good-looking?" ”
"Ahh The woman woke up like a dream, "Xia Bai, you're back." She had been in a daze just now, and she didn't notice that Xia Bai was back, thinking of this, she smiled at her a little embarrassed.
Xia Bai shook his head, made a helpless gesture, took out the delicate jewelry box from his bag, walked to April and sat down: "Here, keep it away, don't lose it." ”
April confiscated, hesitated for a while, and said softly: "Xia Bai, you can help me keep it, I'm not familiar with this place at all, and I can't find it if I accidentally lose it." That being said, she actually wanted to put the necklace back in April's hands in a different way. After all, this necklace was so valuable, she couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
Hearing her say that, Xia Bai thought about it, and didn't insist. To be honest, she was indeed very reluctant to accept this diamond necklace, not only because it was precious, but also because this necklace meant a lot to both her and Gu Qingyan.
They were each other's first love.
Therefore, despite so many years, she still misses Gu Qingyan.
