CHAPTER XXI

29

Many years later, Xia Liangxi always can't help but think of the scene when Xu Yichen smashed the glass of the jewelry store without hesitation and insisted on giving her a birthday gift in the early hours of that dark morning.

She was drunk and dizzy that day, and she picked up a bird pendant and staggered out the door.

At that moment, she didn't notice the ghostly expression on Xu Yichen's face behind her, just his gentle "Cool silence, I'm going to leave for a long time, don't you send me?" She seemed to hear vaguely, and it was as if she hadn't heard anything.

It wasn't until she slept on a roadside recliner until she was woken up by a group of street aunts that she came to her senses.

In a daze, she fumbled into her pants pocket, and the bird necklace was still there, along with the coin. She was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked closely at the small words that read "xx silver jewelry" on the label of the necklace.

"it!" Xia Liang's eyes widened and he shook his head in disbelief. At that moment, she felt stupid, the first time she received a gift from an "upstart" like Xu Yichen, she didn't take anything at that time, but she took a silver necklace casually!

And that coin, for her who is homeless at the moment, now that prices are skyrocketing, I'm afraid that a dollar can't buy a hot baked cake, right?

She called Xu Yichen, and the voice prompt number was empty! She thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what the hell Xu Yichen was doing.

Momoko is still in the hospital, but Xia Liangshan doesn't want to step into her hospital room again.

Sometimes, the feelings between girls are delicate and fragile. Maybe because of the other party's words, or even a look, the city wall that was so hard built in the past will collapse.

Standing on the crowded street, she decided to move out of Momoko's residence.

Just as she was about to go to Peach's bar to quietly move her luggage out, Luo Xiao's phone rang suddenly.

The other side of the phone was full of noise, Xia Liangshan frowned slightly, and heard Luo Xiao say to her in a hurry: "Liang Liang, Xu Er, he went to the United States this morning, and before leaving, he beat Shen Liangye, and then left despite Old Man Xu's obstruction!" ”

"Why did Xu Er beat Shen Liangye?" Xia Liang was dumbfounded.

Luo Xiao sighed heavily, "Hey, because of a little personal matter, it's a long story." After that, he added, "Where are you now?" I think we need to meet. ”

The moment he hung up the phone, Xia Liangshan completely reacted: What? Xu Er is gone? Why didn't she notice any signs at all?

At noon, Xia Liangshan and Luo Xiao came to an apartment on the outskirts of the city, the hot weather made Luo Xiao sweat, he shook his hair in disappointment, and then handed her the key in his pocket, "This is the house that Xu Er gave you, come in and see if you are satisfied?" ”

Xia Liang was stunned in place, and the next second he shook his head like a rattle, "I don't want it, I already owe him too much, how can I ask for his house?" ”

Luo Xiao sat on the sofa with his head upside down, and handed her the pet pig in his arms, "This is Xu Er's pig, his name is buttocks, he asked you to take care of it for him, and this house is considered to be your reward." ”

Xia Liangshan took the buttocks and held it in his arms, the little thing had been sleeping, and occasionally there was a slight snoring sound. Xia Liangshan gently stroked the red belly pocket it was wearing, and couldn't help but smile.

"I can take care of his buttocks and buttocks, but I resolutely don't want the house." As soon as Xia Liangshan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

In the end, Luo Xiao stopped her and resolutely stuffed the key into her hand again, "Actually, Xu Er, he knows that you have nowhere to go now, and he also thought that you wouldn't want this house, but before leaving, he said that if you are really homeless, at least this place can shelter you from the wind and rain." ”

After walking out of the apartment, the string that had been stretched for a long time in Xia Liangxi's brain finally broke, and on the crowded street, she sat on the ground and cried loudly, ignoring the strange eyes of passers-by.

It wasn't until Xu Yichen left that she deeply realized that she was abandoned by the world.

It was sadness like never before.

**

At this time, Xu Yichen drove on the world-famous No. 1 highway.

This is Southern California, home to some of the warmest sunshine in the world, white sunsets and salty breezes from the eastern Pacific Ocean.

It wasn't until dusk that he parked in front of a garden full of tulips.

Walking into the fragrant garden, only two working aunts from Mexico waved and smiled at him. Until he walked into the empty cabin, opened the two windows, and the glow of the setting sun shone in.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he hurried into the mailbox in front of the door, opened it and saw that Sambo had indeed sent him a stack of letters.

It's all about her pictures.

She walked in the garden in the middle of the street with her buttocks in her arms, she looked for a job everywhere, and she was so anxious that she was sweating profusely. She paints the road fences, row after row, from morning to night. In the end, she sat on a recliner on the side of the street and ate two biscuits.

She was wearing a simple blue overalls, fat and big, and it didn't fit her at all, as if a child had stolen an adult's clothes, but her eyes still had a stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

Lying on the soft big bed, Xu Yichen couldn't figure out whether it was right or wrong for him to leave suddenly.

On Xia Lianglone's birthday, a large group of people from the Shen family came to talk to Old Man Xu about things.

Only later did he know that the Shen family's efforts to make such a move this time were actually for the marriage of the Xu Shen family.

He likes summer solitude, right? At that moment, he thought about it for a long, long time, from the intersection when he was ten years old, to the reunion many years later, all signs showed that he liked her.

Old Man Xu's room didn't turn on the light, only the dim table light shone in the huge room, he couldn't see Old Man Xu's expression, he only heard his sigh: "Just now Mr. Shen said that as long as you promise to marry Xia Lianglian, he will transfer ten percent of Shen's equity to you." He said that only in this way would the Shen family's side line not embarrass their mother and daughter. ”

"So, Grandpa means ......"

Old Man Xu's tone was flat and calm, "Of course I agree, the strength of the Shen Group has been worse than a year in the past few years, if you marry Xia Lianglian, you will be able to win ten percent of the equity first, and then we will secretly exert our efforts to merge the Shen family is just around the corner!" ”

There was silence for a long time, and only the "ticking" of the clock remained in the air. It wasn't until he said lightly the words "I don't agree" that Old Man Xu was furious, and his eyes were fierce, "Bastard thing!" Don't forget that you are not the only one on the list of candidates for the future heir of the Xu family, you also have an older brother who has not seen him for many years! If you don't agree to this marriage, I'll leave you with nothing! ”

At that moment, he was stunned, the light in his eyes gradually weakened, and then he smiled with relief, "Okay, old man, isn't there nothing?" I'm okay with that. ”

What he didn't know was that when he closed the door and left, it was the first time that Old Man Xu looked at him again - this stinky boy who had been ingrained for many years was so calm and decent, calm and perfect at this time.

That was the first time Xu Yichen confronted Old Man Xu like a needle-to-needle confrontation, at that moment he and Luo Xiao were sitting in Peach's bar drinking, glass after glass, even Luo Xiao couldn't help but ask him: "Xu Er, why did you reject the old man?" What kind of cool silence, aren't you a little interesting to her? You'll take her in! ”

His expression stiffened slightly, but the alcohol did not numb his consciousness, "I have known since I was a child that there are some emotions that you have to refrain from. For example, you can't force people when she doesn't like you. ”

In the lonely moonlight, he saw her lonely figure standing under the window, and after thinking for a few seconds, he added: "Since liking her will make her work hard, it is better to leave her completely alive." ”

Luo Xiao was startled, looked up at him in a daze, and at that moment he completely woke up, it turned out that the once uninhibited young man finally scattered with the wind in the long river of years, because of a girl.

It turns out that everyone will be humble as a lackey when they encounter an uncertain relationship or future.
