Chapter Seventy-Eight: Encounter
Su Xiyan sighed softly again, took the watch out of the box, put it in her hand and played with it, but on the back of the watch she saw the abbreviation of her name and a series of Korean characters, Su Xiyan didn't understand Korean, but her intuition made her afraid to read that string of words, she was afraid that it was a string of confessional words, she was afraid that it was Xiao He's sincerity to herself.
After thinking about it for a while, Su Xiyan put the watch back in the watch box, she knew that she could no longer ignore Xiao He's feelings for herself, because women clearly understood that even if they were good girlfriends, they would not send each other watches to pass on friendship.
Su Xiyan avoided the mode of direct face-to-face chat on the phone, because she knew that when a man was rejected, the atmosphere was absolutely very awkward, and it would also strengthen the grief in the other party's heart. Su Xiyan was entangled in his heart, and after thinking for a long time, he typed the string of words and sent it to Xiao He's mailbox in the form of an email.
Su Xiyan didn't name the other party's special feelings for herself, but just said that we should be good friends for life; It's just that we watched each other get married and have children; just said that when he gets married in the future, he must be his bridesmaid. It's because I've been friends for too long that it's hard to refuse, and some words are really said to find out how deep the hurt is.
Su Xiyan gently closed his eyes, and his head automatically depicted Xiao He's sweet smile, every smile was shining in the sun, and his eyes were also shining, when talking to a man, he always felt that he had the breath of sunshine on his body, warm and bright, as if he was the sun itself, and the whole person was glowing and shining. Even if it is just a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, it is enough to heal people's hearts, and such a bright and warm Xiao He is the source of happiness in his mind to always dispel his troubles.
In fact, Su Xiyan once tried to imagine the scene of their life together if she agreed to Xiao He's confession. No, women draw a big cross in their minds, just because they have been friends for too long, and they may not get along like a couple at that time, but more like brothers. The deeper you think about it, the more blurred your face becomes, and then every face becomes Shen Mochen, happy him, him with a bad smile, sweet him, gentle him, and angry him......
Su Xiyan opened his eyes violently, wanting to drive away all the thoughts in his mind just now, but the picture just now was too real, and all the scenes had a feeling of revisiting a different place.
The woman slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, rubbed her head that was beginning to hurt, and lay on her side on the sofa, falling into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, the room was already dark, Su Xiyan didn't know how long she had been sleeping, and when she looked out the window dimly, she was already starry, and Aunt Zhang didn't wake her up, maybe it was already past dinner time, but the strange thing was that she didn't feel hungry, she only felt that her heart was full.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and a strong vibration pulled the woman back from the state of being half-asleep and half-awake, she was almost lazy, and her whole body was still soft and tired, but after connecting the phone, there was a cry for help quickly.
"Sister Xiyan, woo woo...... Me, my dad, woo...... And mom wow, ah, ah, ah, ah, It was Qiu Keyi, under her faint voice came the sound of a fierce quarrel, and the sound of smashing things on the other end of the phone was constantly accompanied, Su Xiyan couldn't imagine that scene, her heart was suddenly clenched, and the tiredness and laziness of her body just now also receded at full speed, Su Xiyan sat up straight from the sofa and stood up anxiously.
"But don't be afraid," Su Xiyan tried her best to stabilize her trembling voice, and with her other hand went to take the bag next to her, "I'll go now, I'll come now." She was so anxious in her heart, but it was dark all around, even if she was facing the moonlight, she couldn't even see her own shadow, she groped forward little by little, turned on the light with her memory, and the room instantly lit up, she didn't feel the bright light for a long time, she squinted impatiently, and then opened the doorknob and rushed to Qiu Wenning's house.
Along the way, Su Xiyan was afraid of the deterioration of the situation over there, and Qiu Keyi kept crying, in order to comfort the little girl, Su Xiyan never hung up the phone. There were some unearmarked insults on the phone, and maybe there was also her sobbing voice hidden inside, Su Xiyan couldn't hear it, she only felt a little scared in her heart.
When Su Xiyan stood at the door of Qiu Wenning's house, a sense of loneliness and powerlessness suddenly came to his heart, the door was wide open, and the sound of insults inside, the crying of children, and the sound of things falling on the floor and touching the tiles were endless. She was silent for a moment, and she curled her hand into a fist, her nails digging deep into her flesh. At that moment, Su Xiyan seemed to see the future of her and Shen Mochen, she felt at a loss, and her heart felt like she had been pricked by a needle. She froze, but paused in the doorway for only a second before rushing in.
"Why do you think," Jiang Xingchen's eyes widened angrily, and his originally delicate hairstyle also fell messily in the process of quarreling, shaking constantly with his movements, almost covering the man's eyes, "I'm good to you, give you money, give you care, but it's just because of that one-night stand," he held Qiu Wenning's shoulder hard, Qiu Wenning kept struggling, roaring, screaming, trying to push away the man in front of him, "It's just because you are pregnant with my child, if you don't have this child, You are nothing in my eyes. ”
Qiu Wenning's eyes were full of tears, and each drop hit the ground with weight, splashing drop after drop, "I know! She almost yelled at herself, "I always knew that. Qiu Wenning felt like a worm that had strayed into a spider's web, tightly wrapped in spider silk, she couldn't break free, but she was unwilling to watch herself sink.
Fortunately, at this time, Su Xiyan rushed in, pushed Jiang Xingchen away from Qiu Wenning's body, and hugged the woman in his arms, "Jiang Xingchen, you are enough!" Su Xiyan was angry, and she couldn't wait to leave a red mark on this man's face with her palm, "This family is the same with you or without you, Wen Ning doesn't need you to be pitiful, she has a job, children, friends, she is an independent and complete person, take care of your stinky money and worthless care." Su Xiyan stared at the man deadly, if his eyes could kill, Jiang Xingchen estimated that he would already be full of holes, the man bent down little by little, and there seemed to be fire burning in his dark pupils, "That's better, it's one less thing for me." ”
"Not only that, Wen Ning's life will not need your visit in the future, you will only bring her pain, because your arrival is also a disaster for us, so what you can do now is to leave this room and never appear in her sight again." Qiu Wenning had been crying, her head buried deep in Su Xiyan's neck, and the hot tears were gradually becoming cold as the folds of her skin flowed into her clothes. Jiang Xingchen chuckled, stood up straight, and looked at them with contempt, he was not sad or happy on the surface, but his eyes revealed anger, the man glanced sideways at Qiu Keyi who was hiding in the corner, and then picked up the blazer on the ground, and walked out of the door without looking back.
In fact, Su Xiyan couldn't tell whether these words were said to Jiang Xingchen, or to Shen Mochen, or just to the future he had never met.
Watching Jiang Xingchen's departure, Qiu Wenning smiled, but tears couldn't help but welling up in the corners of his eyes. Su Xiyan looked at Qiu Keyi, who was hiding in the corner and shivering, and her mood was even more sad, the child is the biggest victim of an unhappy family, but it is also the deepest bond between the parents.
She beckoned to the girl and motioned for her to come, and the young and ignorant girl stood up gently, her thin body like the leaves of autumn falling, and shivering in the wind. She didn't speak, but walked towards her tremblingly. Since her parents quarreled, Qiu Keyi has been patient not to make a sound, trying to reduce her sense of existence, she can clearly know that they are quarreling for themselves, but her parents like that, she is really scared.
Finally threw himself into that warm embrace, Qiu Keyi buried his head in Su Xiyan's chest, and the three of them cried together for a while, and tears wet each other's clothes.
When she opened her eyes the next day, the soreness in her eyes almost filled Su Xiyan's entire eye socket, and she reluctantly opened her eyes, but found that her eyes were red, and she struggled for a long time before the woman could barely see the scene in front of her.
Last night may have been due to excessive fright and fatigue, Qiu Ke fell asleep quickly, but Qiu Wenning seemed to have been tormented by that scene, Su Xiyan watched her cry and cried and fell asleep, but she was still crying after waking up, why not when she fell asleep, tears kept overflowing from the corners of her eyes, and she didn't seem to be very stable in her dreams, and the pain made Qiu Wenning cry all the time.
Su Xiyan gently woke up Qiu Wenning in her arms, "Are you better?" The voice came out only to find that it was so hoarse, and his throat was also dry and painful, Qiu Wenning in his arms shook his head, a cool smile pulled out of the corner of his mouth, and he opened his mouth but didn't make a sound for a long time, his throat may have been overused last night.
The two were silent for a long, long, long time before Qiu Wenning spoke, even though his voice was still seven points hoarse, and three points were painful: "Do you see, the child is a burden to him, maybe I am too." The woman took a deep breath and slowly spit it out: "Sometimes I really don't know what he's thinking, it's impossible for me to imagine the cause of everything......" Speaking of this, Qiu Wenning's eyes turned red again, and tears couldn't stop pouring out.
"Why shouldn't I?" Su Xiyan gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and unconsciously stroked her belly with her other hand, "Shen Mochen wants to use a child to imprison my life, impossible!" She helped Qiu Wenning to stand up: "They are all selfish, how can our situation be different?" ”
Qiu Wenning didn't speak, the lack of oxygen in her brain when she stood up almost made her collapse to the ground again, and for a while there was a faint smile on the corner of both of their mouths, which looked like they were smiling, but they looked so desolate under the reflection of light.
It didn't take long for Qiu Wenning to quit his job and move with Qiu Keyi to the villa where Zhou Xueshan gave Su Xiyan a baby.
The days can be regarded as happy, you can chat when you are bored, two people can buy vegetables and cook together, bask in the sun on the recliner in the backyard at noon, and sleep with each other in the evening.
This morning, Su Xiyan opened her eyes as usual, the sunlight was refracted through the glass to her face, making her almost unable to open her eyes, and the woman's wing-like thick eyelashes fanned up and down, and then slowly fell.
