Is He Zixuan married? Yi Xuejia looked at her in front of her in a daze, her mouth pursed, she didn't know what to say for a long time, and finally only spit out three words vaguely, "Why?" But there seems to be no reason why she should not get married, after all, she is also of marriageable age, which is very legitimate! - Then why are you so shocked? Yi Xuejia's mind was boiling for a while, and she was dizzy, so she added three more words, "It's good." β
"What's good?" He Zixuan grinned sadly, this expression was very inconsistent with her baby face, and she asked herself, "You look down on me, right?" I thought to myself, I must have gotten married for money. β
"I didn't think so...... Yi Xuejia's solid eyes glanced at the bright and luxurious chandelier above He Zixuan's head, and finally asked calmly, "But, isn't it?" β
He Zixuan then burst into laughter, "That's it! β
Seeing her and not hiding it, Yi Xuejia also relaxed, and her whole body collapsed generously on the spacious and hard leather sofa, as if the old classmates had a casual chattering attitude, and continued to ask: "What about your husband?" Not at home? β
"He's busy making money, I guess you don't have the luck to see him, and I won't see him a few times a year." He Zixuan said with a bored face, "It's okay if you can't see it, it's annoying his face." β
Suddenly, a ragdoll cat jumped out from the back of the sofa, slowly walked towards He Zixuan's legs, and rubbed her head against her.
Yi Xuejia, who likes animals, covered her mouth in surprise, "Wow! Did you raise a puppet? β
"Or else? This broken place can make people lonely to death, it is called 'Ai Concubine'. He Zixuan's hand stroked the back of the Ragdoll cat, and at the same time turned around and called out to the back room, "Where is Xiaodouzi?" Little beans! As soon as she screamed, a palm-sized long-haired chihuahua ran out of the house, as if ordered by the old bustard to entertain guests, enthusiastically pounced on Yi Xuejia, and wagged its tail like crazy.
"Oh my God! It's so cute. Yi Xuejia took the Chihuahua into her arms and rubbed it, and the puppy was so excited that she kept kicking her legs.
He Zixuan patted the Ragdoll cat's broad back and signaled that it could jump down, and sure enough, the cat obediently jumped off the sofa and paced towards the kitchen, probably to find food, He Zixuan sat down boredly, and continued: "Such a big house, I'm thinking about when to get a bigger dog, otherwise I still feel too lonely."
Yi Xuejia hugged the Chihuahua and asked, "Did you buy or rent this big villa?" β
"Mine, it's in my name on the real estate deed, but it's not a bought." He Zixuan's eyes rolled around, as if thinking about how to explain, "How to say, this house was developed by my husband, and he is the owner of these houses?" Before selling, these houses are all his. β
Yi Xuejia summed it up for her: "Oh, so your husband is a real estate developer? β
"Sort of?" "But there's another business, too." β
"That's amazing." Yi Xuejia applauded, "How did you meet?" β
"How else can you know that?" came again, and that miserable and self-deprecating smile appeared on He Zixuan's face again, "Blind date, it's not all counted, it was introduced by my mother." β
"Uh......" Yi Xuejia asked hesitantly, "Then, is it handsome?" β
He Zixuan then stood up and motioned for Yi Xuejia to go upstairs with him.
Entering the bedroom, He Zixuan pointed to the group photo hanging on the wall and asked her, "Are you handsome?" β
The space of the master bedroom is also as large as the living room of the average family, except for a bed and two bedside tables at the head of the bed and a footstool in front of the bed, there is nothing left, and the wardrobe is not needed at all, looking inside, it is connected to a huge walk-in closet, and in such an empty room, the huge solid wood picture frame above the head of the bed is particularly conspicuous and eye-catching.
In the frame, there is a group photo of the couple in a suit and wedding dress, and the smile on the bride's face is a standard business smirk, as if she is about to blurt out: "Welcome, please choose at will." β
However, the groom's smile was very sincere and sincere, and it could be seen that he was immersed in happiness from the heart, but it was obvious to anyone how shallow his happiness wasβmarrying a beautiful young girlβfrom the outside, the age gap between this pair was probably about twenty years.
The groom is not a fat man, but his abdomen, which he struggles to tighten but still sags, exposes his powerlessness that has been ravaged by the years, his facial features are not ugly, but he is not good-looking when he sticks to his steamed bun-like face, and there is a layer of greasy on his skin that has been fighting for many years on the business table, the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged person, at a glance, he can't remember, close his eyes, and forget it.
"Well...... Yi Xuejia hugged the dog, opened his mouth for a long time, and boasted: "It's the appearance of a good person." β
He Zixuan walked to the edge of the bed, sat down and said, "He is a good person, and he is so good to me that he has nothing to say." β
Yi Xuejia put the dog on the ground and let it run to He Zixuan's toes, she circled around the wall boredly, and asked while referring to this bedroom, "You can do well, but you don't ask us to attend your wedding for such a big thing as getting married." β
He Zixuan played with the dog on her toes, and said, "Shame." β
"This ......" Yi Xuejia asked incomprehensibly, "What's so embarrassing about getting married?" β
He Zixuan raised her eyes and said with a smile: "It's me and Ke Yufei who are embarrassed." Seeing Yi Xuejia's confused face, she covered her mouth in surprise and screamed, "Don't you know? β
In that winter approaching the winter vacation, the reason why He Zixuan and Ke Yufei mysteriously disappeared was because they were "caught" by their respective parents.
At that time, they went to the hotel together, just like the past few times, made up lies, and said to the family that they were in class, in self-study, and playing with friends, and all the development of the day was exactly the same as in the past, in the best hotel in Xiangzhu City, Ke Feifei asked a friend to borrow his brother's ID card to register at the front desk, and then He Zixuan went to the best suite on weekdays that no one would make an appointment for, and just after taking off his clothes and getting into the quilt, the two children's familiar voices sounded outside the door.
He Zixuan's mother, with a very loud voice and a fierce tone, forced the waiter to open the door, to this day, He Zixuan remembers her father's pale face and disappointed eyes, and her mother was angry and abused her with the most obscene words.
Ke Feifei's grandmother sat on the ground, protecting him who covered his body with a sheet, and begged Ke Feifei's grandfather and He Zixuan's father, "Stop fighting!" Stop it! It's all kids! β
And this middle-aged man who is a father, and this elderly man who is a grandfather, still use the soles of their shoes, belts, palms, and everything they can use to beat Ke Yufei who was lying on the ground and crying. "Little brute!"
Looking back now, He Zixuan felt that Fang Yuan should have told the secret, because she knew the person who lent them ID cards.
Unexpectedly, such a thing happened, Yi Xuejia recalled that her mother wanted to speak several times, it seems that the parents united to separate the two children, and for the sake of reputation, they collectively buried this ulterior secret.
"My life has always been quite peaceful, there are no storms, even if I am now being framed to marry someone I don't like at all, I don't think it's a storm, because I don't feel like I'm suffering, and I don't feel sad in my heart." He Zixuan propped her hands on the bed, tilted her head and sighed, as if she was digging a mouthful of rags that had been buried deep in the ground for many years, and wanted to pour a breath of pleasure, she gushed and said slowly, "But that day, until today is my nightmare, as if I can't forget, I can't get over that hurdle, it was the most embarrassing, ugly, humiliating, painful day in my life, I can always dream of it, the sound of my mom screaming, my dad kneeling on the ground kowtowing to me, the smell of the air, standing barefoot on the carpet, Mao Mao was very prickly, everything was so real, I wanted to get out of there, I ran down the corridor naked, and then I couldn't get out, I would always go back to that room, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore and fell out of a window, but I didn't die, the people on the street pointed at me, and they were laughing at me...... I will still dream of that day again and again......"
The Chihuahua seemed to feel He Zixuan's emotions falling in a straight line, it stood upright, grabbed her calf with its little paws, and whimpered from its nose.
Yi Xuejia didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she just sat down quietly beside He Zixuan and put her hand around her shoulder.
"After that, every step of my life was arranged by my mother, she was very afraid that I would 'go the wrong way' again, after graduating from college, she immediately urged me to get married, hoping that I would 'retract' and live an honest life." He Zixuan's head rested on Yi Xuejia's shoulder, and said with a wry smile, "My husband is a business partner she has worked with, and my mother said that she knows him very well, this is a good person, and will take care of me, although I said, no matter how good he is, I don't like him, but my mother scolded me, saying, 'I'm dirty, no one will want it', telling me to be content, I thought about it, anyway, I'm too lazy to care about the future, I don't have any personal goals, no great plans, and no people I like, just whatever, whatever." β
"Why do you think that!" Yi Xuejia turned to face her, grabbed her arm with both hands, and spoke incoherently because she was in a hurry to coax her, "What age is this, you like each other, you can get married at your age in ancient times, you must have taken protective measures, as long as you don't hurt your body, falling in love is not a crime of murder and arson, everyone is from love to marriage, it's strange that your parents, even if you make a mistake, there is a punishment period, they married you to such an old man, is this trying to put you in prison for the rest of your life?" β
"Jiajia, you know me, although I'm not a very ambitious person, I'm really not greedy for life, but, but- this is not the life I wantβ" He Zixuan's expression twitched, she grabbed Yi Xuejia's wrist with her backhand, and suddenly seemed to see the light from the bottom of the well, and asked with bright eyes, "Do you know where Yuchen is?" β
Yi Xuejia was stunned for a moment, gently pursed her lips, and shook her head.
The corners of He Zixuan's mouth immediately changed from rising to drooping, her face collapsed, her whole body fell apart as if she had been hit hard, her hands fell off Yi Xuejia's body, staring at the puppy who was still tugging at her trouser legs, and said in a voice that was about to cry, "I miss him, I really miss him." β
