Chapter Seventy-Five: Warning
The corners of Xiao He's mouth raised a chuckle, his hand gently covered her hair, rubbing and caressing it again and again, "Then you go to sleep first, I'll wait for you to wake up here" She answered softly, and looked sideways at the green outside the window, and fell asleep in a hazy consciousness. Looking at the woman's curved and thick eyelashes, pink and tender cherry mouth, small and upturned nose tip, and face with a little baby fat, everything is shining in the sun, and this appearance is also deeply embedded in his heart.
Half-asleep, she felt as if she had been picked up, and after a jolt, she returned to the soft bed.
This is the scene that Aunt Zhang saw when she came out, Xiao He was holding the sleeping Su Xiyan and slowly going up the stairs, because of pregnancy, the woman's weight became heavier, making it a little difficult to go up the stairs. When she came out, she was startled, stared at them with wide eyes, the man smiled a little awkwardly, showed eight white teeth, and then put a hand in front of her lips to make a silent motion, and told Aunt Zhang with her mouth: I will send Xiyan up.
Aunt Zhang just frowned and looked at them, and didn't speak for a while.
When Qiu Wenning came to visit Su Xiyan in the afternoon, Xiao He hadn't left yet, the man was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes looking at the sunset not far away, and Johannes in his other hand? Vermeer's album, the page of the album just turned to the girl with the pearl earring.
Qiu Wenning walked into the door, this old friend of Su Xiyan who she didn't know was still wary of her, she knocked on the door before entering, the other party turned his head to look at her, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Xiao He's side face, Su Xiyan was still sleeping, one side of her quilt collapsed inward, and it looked like someone had sitted. Qiu Wenning just described in her heart the appearance of a man sitting in front of the bed and watching Su Xiyan sleep, and she felt a chill in her heart.
Qiu Wenning frowned and said softly: "She's still sleeping?" The other party nodded, and then turned his head to look at Su Xiyan, who was still asleep, with the gentleness in his eyes, as if he was about to overflow. Qiu Wenning ignored the other party's expression, walked straight to the head of the bed and patted her in her sleep, "Xiyan, Xiyan." The other party walked forward, as if trying to stop her, but it was too late, everything had already happened.
Su Xiyan rubbed her eyes, obviously looking like she hadn't woken up from the dream just now. Xiao He saw her appearance, just smiled softly, and then put up the pillow next to her to make her lie more comfortable. Su Xiyan didn't come back to her senses for a long time, looked at the two people in front of her blankly, opened her mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but her mouth was like choking on something, and she couldn't speak, she slowly closed her eyes and opened them again, but her eyes still didn't look half clear.
Xiao He stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, and said softly, "Are you feeling okay, are you still very sleepy, or sleep again?" The other party did not answer his question directly, but rubbed Xiao He's hand touching her forehead like a kitten, and a chuckle appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.
Qiu Wenning, who was next to him, watched the interaction between the two sides, and opened his mouth in surprise, but he didn't say anything. Xiao He lit the night light next to her, and the warm yellow light shone on Su Xiyan's face, only to pull her consciousness back from the dream a few points, and the woman's small Adam's apple rolled up and down, "What time is it?" Then he rubbed his head, which was a little dizzy from sleeping for too long, and slowly tried to stand up.
Xiao He supported her arm with one hand, and lifted the futon on Su Xiyan's body with the other hand, all the movements were very natural, just like all old husbands and wives, if it weren't for Qiu Wenning seeing this person by Su Xiyan's side for the first time, she would have thought that the person who had accompanied Su Xiyan for so many years was him.
After the other party stood still on the floor, Xiao He slowly spoke: "At 6:14, Aunt Zhang has urged us to have dinner several times. The man's tone was full of laughter, and Qiu Wenning, who was standing next to him, didn't speak until Su Xiyan turned around and saw the woman standing at the other end: "Ah, why are you here, I've slept for so long, have you two eaten, do you want to stay and have a meal together?" ”
"I don't need to, I still have some business to do over there, you eat first, I should leave." Saying that, Xiao He rubbed the messy hair on Su Xiyan's head, letting them hang naturally on both sides, and then walked out of the room directly, and said softly before closing the door: See you next time
Xiao He saw all the movements Qiu Wenning in her eyes, she was not good at commenting on anything, but she always felt that there was a delicate relationship under their friendship, so she just frowned and looked at the direction in which Xiao He left.
In the next few days, Xiao He came more and more diligently, almost every time Qiu Wenning came, he could see Xiao He in Su Xiyan's room, sometimes they created together, sometimes Xiao He told Su Xiyan some interesting things that happened to him in the company, sometimes Xiao He just quietly looked at Su Xiyan's sleeping face, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
With a woman's accurate sixth sense, Qiu Wenning felt that things were not so simple, the other party might not treat Su Xiyan as a simple friend, what friend would understand each other's interests and hobbies in such a nuanced manner, and take intimate care of everything the other party did, which didn't look like a friend, but like a couple.
Beneath their skin, called friendship, something is quietly deteriorating.
As soon as Xiao He left that day, Shen Mochen hurriedly pushed open Su Xiyan's door, and his tone was as cold as ice: "The white car that just left is Xiao He's," not yet, when Su Xiyan spoke, the man walked in front of her in two steps and one step at a time, "I said why are you so shameless, yes, you are divorced from me, but this does not mean that you can mess with other men before the child is born." ”
Su Xiyan's eyes widened, she couldn't say anything, her good mood just now was dissipated by this man's sudden intrusion, "My grandmother gave you this house to let you raise your baby with peace of mind, but it is not a place for you to have a tryst with other wild men, is it that if the other party comes a few more times, he will stay here for the night." Su Xiyan raised her eyebrows, listening to the anger in the man's tone, she was so angry that her whole body trembled, and the moment the man finished speaking, Su Xiyan raised her hand and slapped the man, "Please don't always slander my relationship with others, I'm not as dirty as you, but I can't get used to doing things that you are used to!" Su Xiyan looked at the man's cheeks that were red from being beaten by himself, and the blankness in the other party's eyes, and habitually took two steps back, pressing his hand on the table behind him.
"You dare to hit me?" Shen Mochen's tone was full of shock and disbelief, "I don't care what your relationship with that man is, but don't mess around when you're pregnant, I'm afraid that your behavior will affect my child's IQ." Shen Mochen forced her step by step again, a pair of big hands directly imprisoned her, and her body slowly pressed down, pressing Su Xiyan directly on the desk. The manly whole body trembled, and gnawed at her neck like crazy, leaving a red and purple mark in that place.
Su Xiyan also struggled like crazy, the scolding in her mouth continued, the man thought she was noisy, so he bit Su Xiyan's lips, her lips instantly turned red, and under the warm light of the dusk, the place was dyed with blood-red light, blood beads came out little by little from the bite, and then dripped from the corners of her mouth, and her lips were stained with blood. Shen Mochen's eyes were red, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue, leaning over and licking gently.
When the smell of blood penetrated Shen Mochen's mouth, he suddenly realized what he was doing. The man instantly withdrew all his confinement of Su Xiyan, and then retreated step by step, step by step, looking at the woman's body lying softly on the book, a sense of guilt welled up in his heart. He left Su Xiyan's room as if he had fled.
After Shen Mochen left, she sat on the ground weakly, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and the helplessness, regret and unwillingness in her heart all broke out, and more hatred for men. Su Xiyan's white and tender hand was bent inward, and he clenched his hand into a fist, and slammed the floor like a vent, making a violent thumping sound, his fist was clenched too tightly, and his nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, and when he released his fingers, the palms of his hands showed white depressions.
Then Su Xiyan put his hand trembling into his pocket, his whole body trembled, and after taking out his mobile phone, he dialed Qiu Wenning's phone without thinking about it.
"Hey, Wen Ning, Shen Mochen is a bastard, he is a beast, I don't want to see him now, he bullies me, he still wants to control me, can't I get rid of him after the divorce?" Su Xiyan's voice was crying, her whole body trembled, and her voice was trembling.
"What's the matter, has something happened to you, you speak slowly, don't worry." As soon as Qiu Wenning heard her mention Shen Mochen's name now, her heart suddenly tightened. She waited for a while, but there was no response from the other party, only a slight sob.
"Xiyan, do you want me to go over and take a look?" Qiu Wenning saw that the other party did not respond for a long time, and her tone couldn't help but be a little anxious, plus she didn't know what was going on, she only heard a slight sigh on the other end of the phone, and then the other party slowly spoke: "No, I don't think it's safe at home, I feel that Aunt Zhang is spying on me." Su Xiyan clearly knew that the reason why Shen Mochen came to her this time was because of Xiao He's frequent visits. And there are only two people in the whole house who know that Xiao He came to visit except himself, it can't be Qiu Wenning, and Aunt Zhang is from their Shen family.
"I see what you mean." Qiu Wenning frowned, but the anxiety in his heart never dissipated, "Then see you at the pastry shop." ”
After Su Xiyan answered softly, she slowly stood up with the corner of the table, rubbed the corners of her aching mouth, and scolded in her heart. The place where Shen Mochen had been gnawed was still faintly painful, Su Xiyan sighed softly, her legs were weak, and she used all her strength to barely stand up.
Then, despite the late day, after a slight freshening, he went out with his bag.
In the end, the two couldn't meet at the pastry shop, but the clerk at the pastry shop was making freshly baked strawberry mousse cake, and the air was filled with a sweet and greasy smell, mixed with a strong strawberry flavor.
But it's a pity that this taste may be very useless to Su Xiyan's stomach, and she is very sensitive to many smells in the third trimester. As soon as she walked into the store, the feeling of wanting to vomit came up, and she could only call Qiu Wenning at the door of the store, and the original plan had to be stopped.
But for the two of them, being able to get together and share their thoughts with each other, even if it's hanging out on the streets, is also a good way.
