Chapter 18: A Narrow Encounter
Seeing Mo Simin's worried look, An Xiabai pulled out a far-fetched smile and comforted her: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, it's almost dark now, you hurry home and I have to go back too."
This kind of thing, no matter how uncomfortable she is, no one will understand her when she says it.
Mo Simin knew that she couldn't persuade her, so she could only follow her wishes and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first, and you can go home well."
An Xia Bai smiled and nodded.
The moment she turned around, the smile on her face could no longer be forced.
An Xiabai's face was pale, and her eyes were a little blank.
She picked up her things and headed home.
But the pace was slow and a little staggering.
It wasn't until she walked into a deserted alley that she finally couldn't bear it anymore, put down the car, sat on the ground in the shadows, hugged her legs, and cried bitterly.
The sad taste in this is only clear to her.
She cried for a long time.
Suddenly, An Xiabai saw a pair of black boots fall in front of him.
She quickly wiped the tears from her face, looked up, and saw a pair of light gray handkerchiefs.
The owner of the handkerchief was none other than Shen Ya.
Shen Ya looked at An Xiabai, who was crying and red-eyed, with a little distress in his eyes, he squatted down and said softly: "Are you okay?"
An Xiabai sniffed, then raised his hand to take the handkerchief in Shen Ya's hand, wiped away his tears, sighed tremblingly, and said, "I'm fine, it's just a little uncomfortable."
This discomfort naturally refers to the mood.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Shen Ya knew that he didn't need to ask.
He just said, "It's cold on the ground, don't sit still, stand up first."
So saying, he stretched out his hand to pull her up.
Seeing this, An Xiabai waved his hand, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I don't want to stand up."
Shen Ya looked at An Xiabai squatting and hugging his body, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his eyes.
She's too strong, so strong that it hurts.
Shen Ya also squatted beside An Xiabai.
The two were a little speechless for a moment.
Sometimes, silence is the best companion.
What An Xiabai needs most now is to have someone by her side, even if she can't talk to her, but she can accompany her.
Shen Ya's approach undoubtedly made An Xiabai feel at ease inexplicably.
An Xiabai, who let down her guard, felt even more aggrieved in her heart, and her tears fell more violently than just now.
Looking at An Xiabai's slightly red and swollen eyes, as well as her still somewhat pale face, Shen Ya pursed her lips, and then said with a smile: "Hey, Xia Bai, do you know what case I have encountered recently?" Didn't make me laugh to death. ”
But An Xiabai couldn't even breathe steadily, and he didn't have the extra strength to answer Shen Ya.
Shen Ya also knew the situation, so he said his own: "The day before yesterday, a woman came to report to the official, saying that someone had stolen their family's money, and wanted us to send someone to investigate and catch the thief, but we went to their house and searched carefully to find out that it turned out that her husband was afraid of being stolen, so he hid the money under the dung pit of the thatched house."
The turning point of this case was too unbelievable, An Xiabai really couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud.
Seeing An Xiabai smiling, Shen Ya's heart was also relieved.
The other side.
Lu Li was going to run an errand, but when he passed by a small alley, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
He stopped in an instant and looked into the box.
I saw that An Xiabai didn't know what happened, crying snot and tears, but chatting with Shen Ya was very speculative, and he was still laughing so happily.
Lu Li's eyes sank instantly.
He wanted to see what this woman was going to do!
It seems that she really took his words as a deaf ear.
Lu Li's heart felt like someone was being pinched hard, and it hurt dullly.
Here, An Xiabai looked up at the sky, it was sinking in the west, and if he didn't go back, he was afraid it would be too late.
Thinking like this, An Xiabai wiped away her tears and said to Shen Ya with a smile: "Today, thank you very much, I will return this handkerchief to you after I wash it."
"No, just my gift to you." Shen Ya chuckled.
"It's getting dark, and I should go back." Saying this, An Xiabai wanted to stand up.
Maybe it was a little long on the ground, and she stood up suddenly, and her brain only felt a wave of dizziness.
An Xia Bai stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that something was wrong with the situation, Shen Ya was fortunate to react quickly, and was able to hold her up before An Xiabai fell, preventing her from falling.
But I didn't expect someone to react faster than him.
Before Shen Ya could help An Xiabai to stand firmly, he felt that he was pushed away by a force.
Lu Li saw that something was wrong with the situation and hurriedly stepped forward, but he was still a step too late for Shen Ya to help An Xiabai.
He was depressed and angry, so he stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Ya away suddenly.
Shen Ya was originally a scholar, his body was thin, and he was pushed by Lu Li like this, if it wasn't for the wall in the way, I am afraid that he would have been pushed to the ground at this moment.
An Xiabai looked at this change and immediately turned red.
She immediately pushed Lu Li away, with a little surprise and anger in her eyes, and her tone was a little disappointed and angry: "Lu Li, are you crazy?!"
After saying this, she hurriedly turned around to check on Shen Ya's situation.
"How? Are you okay?"
Shen Ya hooked his lips and smiled gently, and said, "It's okay, you don't have to worry."
But the scene in front of him stimulated Lu Li.
He looked at the familiarity and intimacy between the demeanor of the two people in front of him, as well as An Xiabai's concern for Shen Ya just now, and a wave of anger suddenly rushed to his heart.
Lu Li held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "An Xiabai! Come over to me! What are you doing! ”
But as if he hadn't heard his words, An Xiabai said to Shen Ya: "Don't pay attention to him, neurotic."
Hearing this, Shen Ya frowned slightly, he looked at Lu Li coldly, and his voice was a little cold: "Who are you?"
"Who am I?" Lu Li sneered.
Then I saw him step forward, forcefully pulled An Xiabai to his side, and then put his arm around her waist, regardless of her struggle, and said angrily: "I tell you, I am her husband, her man, and she is already married!" You'd better not move those thoughts that shouldn't be moved, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind! ”
An Xiabai listened to Lu Li's words, struggled in his arms, and scolded: "Lu Li, are you crazy?!" What the hell are you going to do! ”
"Of course I'm taking you home!"
After that, regardless of An Xiabai's struggle, he carried her with one hand and left with the other hand pushing the things of the stall.
