Chapter 51: Successive Encounters
As soon as Mencius returned to the hotel, he lay down on the bed and sighed to Zhao Mei, "I really spent the summer here!" β
"What's this?" Zhao Mei unscrewed a bottle of mineral water as she spoke, "I used to stay in Hengdian for a year, and I spent the four seasons directly!" She handed the mineral water to Mencius, who got up and took the mineral water, and couldn't help but smile, "No wonder you are so adapted to life here!" β
Zhao Mei was just about to speak, the mobile phone rang, she looked at it, it was a strange call, hesitated for a while, and finally went out to answer it.
Taking advantage of Zhao Mei going out to answer the phone, Mencius originally wanted to call Lu Xingchen, but after looking at the sky outside, it was still afternoon, and he thought about calling him again in the evening, and it happened that she would be very sleepy again, and after yawning a few times, she fell asleep.
Mencius slept until night, and I don't know what time it was, the wind in the autumn night was a little strong, and the windows were not closed, and the curtains sizzled by the wind, and Mencius was a little woken up in his sleep.
At this time, her room was not lit, it was very dim, only a little light came in the night outside the window, and her door was hidden again, suddenly, the gap in the door became a little larger, and a figure came in from outside the door, this figure was very sneaky, and closed the door almost without making a sound, and the figure also took advantage of this light, and slowly approached the bed.
At this time, Mencius's drowsiness became lighter and lighter, and he suddenly got up in a daze, the figure was obviously startled, and his body was a little staggering, Mencius was facing away from the figure, but she didn't notice it at all, the figure suddenly hugged her from behind, and Mencius immediately screamed.
Mencius's body immediately struggled reflexively, and in the darkness her hand groped for a bottle of mineral water on the bed, she immediately picked it up, raised her hand and knocked on the head of the figure behind her, and the figure immediately screamed in pain and let go of Mencius.
And this sound also made Mencius feel familiar, and instantly had a guess in her heart about this figure, she quickly climbed out of bed, turned on the switch on the bedside table, and the room immediately lit up, so she could see the true face of the figure.
This face was exactly the same as the guess in her heart, and her face was not surprised except for panic and anger.
"Su Yichen, it's really you!"
The sudden light obviously made Su Yichen a little uncomfortable, he stretched out his hand to half-cover his eyes, quickly put his hand down again, tidied up his clothes again, pushed his glasses, and looked calm, as if nothing had happened just now, his eyes were extremely arrogant and disdainful, he saw Mencius who was not surprised, and the corners of his mouth raised a smug smile, "It seems that I guessed correctly!" You're really interesting to me! β
"You're sick! No, you're blind, which eye of yours sees that I'm interesting to you, you really show me what it means to be truly shameless," Mencius roared loudly, pointing to the door, "You get out of here, get out!" β
Su Yichen turned from a smug smile to a sneer, "Mencius, you really deserve to be a natural actor, and you act well in and out of the play!" β
Mencius also taunted him unceremoniously, "You are also very good! The play is full of true colors in and out of the play
Perform! β
Su Yichen smiled, and smiled a little sinisterly, "Don't you think the setting of our characters in the play is almost the same as now?" I've been interested in you since I first saw you, haven't you too? The more he spoke, the more disdainful his expression became, "I've seen a lot of pretending to be pure, so you don't have to fake Qinggao with me here, or do you like to pretend to be pure in front of people and pretend to be lustful in the back!" β
After he finished speaking, his footsteps slowly moved towards Mencius, probably less than a meter away, Mencius's expression became more and more panicked and vigilant, retreated, there was no way to retreat, behind him was a bedside table, in a panic both hands touched a fruit knife on the table, she picked it up like a door, and put it against her neck.
When Su Yichen saw her move, his footsteps immediately stopped, and his face was a little panicked, "Mencius, don't mess around!" β
"Do you think I look like I'm messing around?" Mencius pressed the fruit knife a little harder on his neck as he spoke, and blood immediately oozed from his fair skin.
Seeing this, Su Yichen immediately became timid, "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, you... You put the knife down first! β
Mencius gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of here!" βγβ¦β¦ iQi Literature @*Free Readingγ
Su Yichen's footsteps slowly retreated, and he left with an unwilling expression.
After the door was closed, Mencius immediately followed, locked the door, and the whole person leaned back to the door in some shock, and her whole body was so frightened that she was unable to support it, and sat on the ground with a bang.
The tears that she held back because of fear just now would flow down like a bursting embankment, and she only felt that her neck hurt very much, only to find that she still had the fruit knife against her neck, and she hurriedly threw it aside.
She bent her knees and clasped her hands, and after crying helplessly for a while, she suddenly thought of Lu Xingchen, kept muttering his name in her mouth, and got up with difficulty and walked to the bed.
And before Mencius happened to Su Yichen, Lu Xingchen was driving Zhao Chenxi downstairs to her residence.
It turned out that in order to celebrate the victory of the Ritchie Real Estate trademark infringement case, Li Shengnan specially invited the two of them to dinner.
After eating, Li Shengnan was going to send Zhao Chenxi, but his company temporarily took a step in advance, and the task of sending her naturally fell to Lu Xingchen, which was also as Zhao Chenxi wished.
"It's all here, let's go up and sit down! I've been back home for so long, and you haven't been to my house once. Zhao Chenxi said to Lu Xingchen when he got out of the car.
Lu Xingchen originally wanted to shirk it, but thinking that she would win this lawsuit, she also ran around a lot, and her previous attitude towards her was a little tough, so it was reasonable, he should really give her a face.
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Xingchen was attracted by the various ancient musical instruments in the living room, and he walked over and touched the guzheng, which was as clean as new.
Zhao Chenxi was very excited at this time, she never thought that he really responded to her request, looking at it like this, he seemed to have it at his fingertips.
Her face couldn't hide her joy, and she tried her best
Cover up, then walked into the kitchen, and when she was about to pour water, she suddenly took out something wrapped in paper from her pocket, she carefully opened it, and it turned out to be a small white pill.
She struggled inwardly, and the facial features on her face were tangled together, and her hands opened and closed to hold the small white pill.
She knew that she was hovering on the edge of morality, but at the same time there seemed to be another voice in her body, she knew that it was the jealous devil beckoning to her, and her mind instantly appeared how intimate he and Mencius were, the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became, the more unwilling she became, and her expression was painfully distorted.
Finally, she opened her hand, and if the little white pill was dropped, it would mean no return, but at this time her reason was completely wiped out by hatred, and she couldn't wait to get him, even if she would be spit on him, she was willing.
Zhao Chenxi held her breath, until the small pill immediately dissolved in the boiling water and turned into a large pile of small foam and the foam disappeared, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the kitchen calmly, she saw that he was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, she walked over and put the water in front of him with a smile, "Xingchen, drink water." β
"Okay, thank you!" Lu Xingchen said and pointed to the zither placed on the side of the living room, "The zither is well maintained. β
Zhao Chenxi was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Of course, it has a special meaning for me. She deliberately emphasized her tone.
Lu Xingchen picked up the water cup and drank a few sips disappreciatively.
Zhao Chenxi saw that he was drinking the glass of water, and the nervousness and uneasiness in her heart made her clench her hands, and after a while, she quietly picked up the water cup in front of her and took a few sips.
"By the way, how is my aunt's health lately?" Lu Xingchen was still holding the water glass, shaking it from time to time, Zhao Chenxi stared at his water cup a little, and the tension in her heart also went up and down with the shaking water waves in the cup, Lu Xingchen seemed to notice her abnormality, and asked her, "Chenxi, what's wrong with you?" β
Zhao Chenxi came back to his senses and unconsciously teased his ears, "It's nothing?" Maybe I've been too busy lately and I've been a little unfocused, did you just ask my mom about her recent body? She's fine, and she said that she will go back to China for the Chinese New Year this year," she said, as the happy expression on her face faded away, "By the way... By the way, we discussed our marriage, but I knew that it was no longer possible. β
Lu Xingchen was a little ashamed, and took another sip of water, "I'm sorry, I will explain this matter to my aunt in person." β
Zhao Chenxi nodded with satisfaction, "I believe my mother will understand, fate is hard to find," she hesitated for a moment, and asked with a tentative expression, "If you hadn't met Sister Meng, you... Is it possible for you and me? β
Lu Xingchen didn't hesitate at all, and said, "There is no assumption, whether it is possible with a person or not, it will not change because of who comes first and who arrives later." β
The expected answer was still difficult for Zhao Chenxi to accept, she tried to squeeze out a smile, picked up the water cup on the coffee table, and her voice was a little choked, "Okay, let's replace wine with water, for friendship, and for me to be completely right."
Cheers to you Lu Xingchen! β
After she finished speaking, she drank all the water in one go.
Lu Xingchen sighed silently, and drank the little water left in the cup.
Then, when Lu Xingchen got up from the sofa and was about to say goodbye to Zhao Chenxi, he only felt a little dizzy in his head, and couldn't help but reach out to hold his head, he thought it was a problem with his glasses, and after taking off his glasses, he rubbed his eyes and put them back on.
But the feeling of dizziness did not decrease at all, but became heavier, he shook his head, trying his best to sober himself, Zhao Chenxi saw his appearance, and deliberately asked, "Xingchen, are you uncomfortable?" β
Lu Xingchen shook his head, "It's okay, I'll leave first, no need to send it." β
He said as he walked towards the door, and as he walked, he found that his body was getting hotter and hotter, and his mouth was unusually dry, this heat was not a fever and uncomfortable heat, but a kind of heat that wanted to find vent, the heat that itched unbearably, it was a kind of heat called **, and his consciousness began to become blurry, so that his vision could not see the direction of the doorknob clearly.
When he was about to fall unsteadily, Zhao Chenxi, who had been following him and observing him, stepped forward in time to support him, and deliberately asked, "Xingchen, what's wrong with you?" β
Lu Xingchen tried to sober himself up, but to no avail, his body seemed to have a squirting ** about to swallow him, he began to grab Zhao Chenxi's arm, his eyes became a little longing, in a trance, he seemed to see Mencius's face, handsome and soft, delicate and lovely face, only to see her smile so delicately, so beautiful that he wanted to impulsively hug her into his arms.
Lu Xingchen completely lost the consciousness of recognition, and read Mencius's name with a smile.
After Zhao Chenxi heard this, a very sad expression appeared on her face, "How much do you love her, at this time, you still think about her," she said and hugged his waist, and smiled proudly, "But, it doesn't matter, tonight, I want her to lose you forever!" β
After she finished speaking, she helped Lu Xingchen to the bedroom and closed the door.
