A few days later, Xu Shu's injuries improved greatly. In order to better recuperate and rest, the Xu family simply took her back to the home to take care of her. Jingjing and I contacted relatives and friends to inform them that the wedding would be postponed for a month.

Since Xu Shu returned home to recuperate, except for Jingjing, it is not easy for me to see her. Because there is Xu Shu's mother taking care of her, and I am persona non grata in the Xu family.

It was said that it passed quickly, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Jingjing went to Xu's house a few times and came back to tell me that Xu Shu is now able to move around freely and believes that it will not take long to fully recover. After hearing this, I was relieved and happy, and now the only thing I have left on my mind is how to explain my choice to Brother Xu Jian. But I can't say what I really think, it's really hard to think about it!

Alas! Let's not talk about it! In fact, sometimes, action is the best illustration.

On this day, Jingjing suddenly felt that there were not enough books on the shelves in our new study, and she couldn't show the grandeur of the study. He gave me a long list of books and told me to go to the book center and buy them back.

I took a cursory look at it, and it was densely packed with all kinds of books with and without names, and there were probably no less than two or three hundred books. I only shook my head and smiled bitterly, remembering that I had bought something for her once a long time ago, and that time I almost exhausted myself to death, and the things I bought were basically useless to her. Now she's going to buy so many books, and to be honest, she'll never turn a page on most of them. But she has the temper of this rich daughter, so she is so showy and full of façade, and I can't help it.

In the afternoon, I drove the car of the temporary loan company to the book center. Of course, I wouldn't be so stupid to go and find them one by one, so I reached out to the service manager, handed him the list, and asked him to find all the books I wanted and pack them.

When the manager saw that I was a big customer, he greeted me attentively, took the order and asked someone to collect it together. I saw that he had been like that for a long time, so I paced through the bookshelf group by myself, slowly trying to find a few books that I loved to read.

I walked past a few bookshelves and stopped in front of a shelf with a collection of treatises on science and technology to see if there was anything I was interested in. Suddenly, I saw a girl in front of the bookshelf next door, struggling to stretch out her hands, trying to pull a book down from the highest part of the shelf.

I was taken aback when I saw her, isn't this Xu Xin? I met her in the hospital that time and never saw her again. We're all in the same city now, but we don't keep in touch as often as we used to. The intimacy that used to be lost seems to have been lost with time.

That sweet, but affectionate "Brother Tang Qian", will it still be called out of her mouth?

The little girl back then is now an adult!

These thoughts only flickered in my mind, and seeing that she was still barely on her tiptoes, I hurriedly walked over and reached out and pulled out the book she needed.

Xu Xin turned around suspiciously, I handed her the book with a smile and said, "Are you looking for this one?" ”

Xu Xin opened her mouth in surprise when she saw it, and then she couldn't help but smile on her face, she quickly calmed down, took the book and smiled: "It's you, such a coincidence!" ”

I also smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, are you here to buy some books?" ”

Xu Xin raised the book in his hand and said, "Yes! I came here to find a few books on photography techniques, which are summer assignments assigned by our college teachers, and everyone has to learn to capture the moment. It's so profound, don't you think it's funny? ”

I said, "I don't know about photography, but moments are fleeting, and I think it's very difficult to capture them sensitively in time." Your teachers are exercising your ability to observe things, to judge things, to make an instant eternal. Isn't that one of the qualities you will need as future journalists? ”

Xu Xin was slightly surprised, she bent her head and looked at me strangely, and said with a smile: "It's the same as what our university teacher said!" Simply! I'll call you Mr. Tang. ”

I have an inexplicable sour feeling in my heart, the little witch has really grown up, and Brother Tang Qian can't scream anymore. Those affectionate calls back then, the heart-rending cries seemed to still ring in his ears, but Xu Xin was no longer the little witch of the year.

I looked at the slim Xu Xin, and my mood was very complicated for a while. I know she's really changed a lot for me. has changed from an untamable little witch with a wild surname to a quiet and reserved girl. From a naughty and ignorant girl, to a self-disciplined and reserved woman. During this period, she must have worked extremely hard and suffered unimaginably from ordinary people. She didn't study very well, but she was finally admitted to Z University, a nationally renowned key university, which shows how difficult her perseverance and hard work are.

I was very relieved that I had failed her. But being able to indirectly make her grow up was finally in vain for my hard work back then. Now I see a little witch who is completely different from before, although I am inevitably disappointed, but I am still very happy, happy for Xu Xin's growth.

So I couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast!" In the blink of an eye, you're twenty-one years old, right? The naughty children of the year are now adults, and when I see you, I know that I am really old! ”

Xu Xin blinked his eyes and smiled, "It's okay!" You haven't changed much from before. By the way, Mr. Tang, what kind of books are you here to buy? ”

Hearing this nondescript title, I touched my nose and smiled bitterly: "Your sister Jingjing thinks that there are too few books on the shelves in the new study, so let me buy a large number of books to fill the façade." Alas! The young lady from a rich family is like this, she doesn't know how to save money, so she loves to spend money indiscriminately. I bought so many books and I didn't really read them, just to show off! ”

Xu Xin listened, let out a faint "oh", turned his head and carefully looked for the book in front of the bookshelf.

I saw that she was cold, and I didn't know what to do for a while. I had to laugh and say, "That...... You're busy, I'll go and see if they've found all the books for me. ”

I was about to turn around and leave as I spoke, when I suddenly heard Xu Xin say: "My sister loves you so much, you really ...... Ready to give up on her? ”

I turned around and saw Xu Xin, who was staring at me with a dissatisfied expression, and I didn't know how to answer for a while. Xu Xin said again: "I heard my mother say that my sister's injury was stabbed by others because she was desperate to block in front of you and protect you." Are you really so ruthless, so ruthless, to give up a woman who loves you more than anything? Isn't your conscience condemned when you do this? ”

Of course I won't give up Xu Shu! But...... How do I explain this to her? Where can I say the reason for this!

I stammered and couldn't speak for a while. Now I finally know why Xu Xin is so cold to me. Just looking at the superficial phenomena, I am indeed a wolf-hearted and dog-hearted negative man! Xu Shu almost gave his life to protect me, but instead of making any statement, I insisted on marrying Jingjing. In the eyes of the Xu family, I must be an emotionless scoundrel, right? No wonder even Xu Xin was indifferent when she saw me!

I'm a dumb person who eats coptis, and I can't tell if I have bitterness! I had to sigh and turn around again to leave. As soon as he took two steps, the familiar name came from behind him: "Brother Tang Qian!" ”

My heart trembled, and I suddenly stopped.

Xu Xin's voice was full of sadness, and she said, "Brother Tang Qian, I'm disappointed, you know? You're not that kind of person in the first place, can you tell me why? ”

I turned around again, looked at Xu Xin and smiled uncomfortably: "Life is not as simple as you imagined. There are some things that we don't have a choice about. Don't ask me why, sometimes, even me...... I can't answer. ”

I shook my head bitterly, and this time I didn't stop again, turning away from the bookshelf.

I waited at the cashier for a while, but my book still didn't arrive. After a while, Xu Xin came over with a few books to settle the account. Her face was sad, and her beautiful eyebrows contained an indescribable loss.

After paying the cash, she smiled indifferently at me, stretched out a hand and said, "Mr. Tang, then...... Wishing you happiness and goodbye at the wedding!

I reluctantly shook her hand and smiled bitterly, "Goodbye!" ”

Xu Xin quickly withdrew his hand, took the book from the cashier, walked lonely to the escalator, and disappeared in front of my eyes for a while......

Three days later, the good news came that Shi Huaizhong, the murderer who stabbed Xu Shu, was arrested by the public security organs in a small county town in Shaanxi.

Another week passed, and Xu Shu's injuries were completely healed. This injury caused a strong response in the society, and countless fans spontaneously carried out various activities to pray for Xu Shu's health. During the month, the media devoted a lot of space every day to reporting the truth investigation and follow-up report on the injury and stabbing of the big star Xu Shu, and also continuously published explanations on her daily recovery.

I'm also famous, because it's a well-known fact that big stars are going to my wedding. And she is also my wife's bridesmaid, so the reporter who has good things has excavated and reported my romance with Hua Jingjing and the relationship with Xu Shu. Although it is far from the truth, people are no longer unfamiliar with the name Tang Qian!

As for why Xu Shu was injured, what people know is that the murderer originally wanted to kill me, but because it was dark and panicked, he stabbed Xu Shu by mistake. Fortunately, Jingjing was also present that night, otherwise rumors would have spread.

But who would believe that the famous international superstar, the world's first beauty in the Orient, was actually injured to protect me, a little person?

In the blink of an eye, the wedding date is approaching, and tomorrow I will be picking up the bride for a grand wedding. In the evening, Zhao Yanjin, Cheng Gong and other friends and colleagues with male surnames dragged me out for a drink, saying that they were going to celebrate my last night as a bachelor.

I got drunk that night and was carried back home. They quarreled for a while before they left. It was late at night, and I was the only one left in the huge new house, Jingjing had already returned to her parents' house to prepare, just waiting for me to pick her up early tomorrow morning. It was only after I threw up for the third time in the bathroom that I felt a little more sober. After taking a shower, I poured a glass of cold water and prepared to drink it while scolding the scumbags who poured me into drinking.

That's when my new phone on the table rang. I went over and picked it up, and it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number. I looked at the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening. Who's going to call me so late?

I opened the flap and put it in my ear and said, "Hey, who?" ”

A familiar voice came from the phone: "It's me, congratulations on becoming the groom soon, Tang Qian!" ”

My hand trembled, and I said in surprise: "Xie Qin? You...... Got it? ”
