Chapter 35: I don't want to embarrass him
Mencius was packing her luggage, and when she thought that she was going to go to S City with Lu Xingchen in the afternoon, she was inexplicably a little excited, and this excitement naturally came from the household registration book she was holding in her hand now, she looked at the red household registration book, which was a little dazzling, and it made her a little unreal.
She was about to put it in the piggy's backpack when she heard a knock on the door, so she ran out of the room and saw Zhao Chenxi walking into the yard from outside the door.
Mencius was a little overwhelmed, and although the misunderstanding with her was clearly explained, Mencius always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
However, the visitor was a guest, and Mencius still greeted him with a smile, "Sister Chenxi, why are you here?" As she spoke, she put the household registration book in her hand behind her, her movements were a little deliberate, in fact, she didn't know why she was a little weak-hearted.
Mencius was obviously hiding too slowly, because when Zhao Chenxi came in, as if he had come prepared, he had already found the household registration book she was holding, and at this time Zhao Chenxi pretended not to see it and smiled at her.
"Sister Meng, I came to apologize to you today, I was in a hurry in the hospital last time and didn't have time to say sorry to you, I have always felt guilty in my heart, and I was too busy with work last week, I wanted to call you, but I felt insincere, so I came in person, knowing that you were going back to S City, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to catch up."
Zhao Chenxi finished speaking with a ashamed face, but Mencius didn't know what to say, it was indeed the misunderstanding caused by Zhao Chenxi that made her feel greatly wronged, but she herself was wrong, if she had plucked up the courage to ask clearly, there would have been no later things.
Mencius was entangled in his heart for a while, thinking about quickly changing the topic, so he said with a smile, "Sister Chenxi, how do you know that I am going back to S City?" ”
"The stars told me." After Zhao Chenxi finished speaking, he also deliberately glanced at Mencius's reaction.
After hearing this, Mencius was calm on the surface, but she couldn't calm down in her heart, she admitted that she minded, and she also noticed that when Zhao Chenxi said his name, there was a light in his eyes, a gentle light, this must be her delusion!
Zhao Chenxi continued, "Xingchen also told me that you will get the certificate after you return to S City, congratulations, but I don't know if you can afford this 'congratulations'!" ”
Her tone was suddenly a little intriguing, and Mencius was stunned when he heard it, "Sister Chenxi, I don't understand what you mean!" ”
Zhao Chenxi suddenly lowered her posture, "Sister Meng, I definitely didn't mean to provoke, but, I don't want you to hurt Xingchen, can you let him go?" ”
Mencius was stunned for a moment, and the meaning of Zhao Chenxi's words made her very confused, so, "Sister Chenxi, how did I hurt him?" Why should I let him go? I don't understand what you're talking about? ”
"Then I'll make it clear, have you forgotten that I told you about Uncle Lu? Don't you feel embarrassed to be with the stars? You don't want to think that if he knows that Uncle Meng has also committed a case of the same nature, it will make him think about Uncle Lu's death, do you want him to think of the sad thing again? Zhao Chenxi said excitedly, and suddenly stepped forward to hold Mencius's hand, looking at her pleading and eagerly.
Mencius was stunned for a long time when he saw her eyes, and then let go of Zhao Chenxi's hand in a panic, and the household registration book fell to the ground with a click, and the bright red suddenly became a little ironic.
Zhao Chenxi was right, she did forget about Uncle Lu, and recently she was indeed immersed in the sweet love with Lu Xingchen, which made her almost leave these concerns behind, thinking about Zhao Chenxi's words, it is not unreasonable.
It's just that why did Zhao Chenxi look at her with such eyes? Could it be that she thought of Lu Xingchen and Mencius for the first time in the picture of Zhao Chenxi and him hugging each other in the hotel, and her fear and uneasiness suddenly poured into her heart.
Zhao Chenxi helped Mencius pick up the household registration book on the ground and handed it to her.
Mencius came back to her senses and took the household registration book, how did she feel a little heavy, she plucked up the courage to ask, "Sister Chenxi, are you... Like... He? ”
Zhao Chenxi replied without hesitation, "Yes!" ”
This firm answer made Mencius a little suspicious that the hug was intentional.
Mencius felt a little chill in her heart, during this period of time with Zhao Chenxi, she didn't show the slightest trace of liking him, when did she like him?
Mencius was silent with questions.
Seeing this, Zhao Chenxi deliberately continued, "I have liked him for 10 years, and we still have a marriage contract!" After she finished speaking, her eyes were filled with sadness.
After Zhao Chenxi left, Mencius sat on the sofa in the living room very depressed, and what Zhao Chenxi said kept coming to his mind, as well as the helplessness in her tone.
It turns out that there are really people in this world who spend their lives, just for that person's review, and there are also people who spend their lives and can't wait for that person's response.
Li Shengnan once said that Zhao Chenxi was Lu Xingchen's enemy, and Mencius seemed to understand the meaning of this a little.
Knock knock knock...
There was another knock on the door, but Mencius didn't seem to hear it, and remained on the couch.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps walking in, Mencius was facing away, she thought it was Meng's mother, and said a little to her, "Mom, I don't want to go back to S City, I don't want to get married, don't force me again this time..."
Mencius didn't hear a response for a long time, and got up from the sofa, but she immediately sat back on the sofa and gasped, because the person who came was not Lu Xingchen, and she actually forgot that he would come to pick her up and go back to S City in the afternoon.
At this time, he didn't have any expression on his face, but that gloomy aura was enough to overwhelm her breathlessly, he walked over and dragged her from the sofa without saying a word, "Go out and talk!" ”
It was the same field again last night, and it seemed that the position where they were standing was the same, everything was the same, except that the state of mind was different.
The two stood opposite each other, but they were relatively speechless.
Mencius kept his head down, Lu Xingchen looked at her like this for a long time, and his patience seemed to be worn out, "How long are you going to be silent like this?" Are you kidding me? Is marriage child's play? ”
The more Mencius thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and he raised his head suddenly, "Then aren't you also playing tricks on me, you obviously have a marriage contract with Sister Chenxi, and you want to marry me, the most hateful thing is that you are still in front of me as if you were nothing!" ”
"Engagement!" Lu Xingchen thought about it carefully, "Chenxi told you personally?" ”
"Morning dawn and morning light, how nice it sounds, be a thief!" Mencius muttered indignantly.
Lu Xingchen frowned, "Why should I be frank and weak!" But she was right, I did have a marriage contract with her. ”
When Mencius heard this, "Shi can bear it!" Angry, she raised her hand and was about to wave it in his face, but instead, he grabbed her arm, "It's okay to fight, but wait until I'm done." Was it a verbal marriage contract, or was it a verbal agreement between my parents before I was born, my father and her father were comrades-in-arms when they were young, and when they went on a mission, his father blocked a shot for my father, at that time, Chenxi's mother and my mother were already pregnant, and my father agreed on this promise out of retribution and guilt, and his starting point for doing so was to take good care of their mother and daughter. At the end of the day, there is nothing substantive about this marriage contract, and I can disagree with it! ”
Mencius's mood eased a little after hearing this, and she didn't think that he and Zhao Chenxi still had this relationship, but she thought about Zhao Chenxi liking him, and as a result, her anger came up again.
"Then do you know that Sister Chenxi has liked you for 10 years!"
Lu Xingchen was not surprised at all when he heard it, but was a little puzzled, "Why did she even tell you this?" ”
Seeing his reaction, Mencius became even more angry, and a little disappointed, "It turns out that you already knew, how could your acting skills be so good?" You know that people like you, you don't shy away from suspicion, and you are still hugging people in the hotel, do you really treat me as a fool? ”
Lu Xingchen looked helpless, "Hasn't the matter of the hotel been explained clearly a long time ago?" Why are you still minding? ”
"Although you have no intention, she has the intention, that's enough, I just mind, I just can't be generous!" Mencius was a little reluctant.
Lu Xingchen understood the reason why she was angry with him, and she was not making trouble unreasonably, so he continued to be patient, "Everyone has the right to like others, and I have no right to interfere, but I have no obligation to be responsible for other people's likes." ”
Mencius's mood gradually calmed down, "I admit that you have some point. ”
Lu Xingchen was a little relieved to hear her say this, but he was a little surprised to find that she looked worried after she finished speaking, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Mencius was a little depressed, "There is one more thing, I know about Uncle Lu." ”
Lu Xingchen showed a stunned expression, "How do you know?" He thought about it for a moment, his face slightly displeased, "It's the dawn that told you again!" Seeing her nodding, Lu Xingchen was also helpless, but he didn't think much about it, "Now that you know, I knew it, I originally planned to find a time to tell you, but letting you know will only increase the sadness!" ”
Mencius heard the sadness in his last tone, her heart was inexplicably twisted, and tears were a little unassumingly swirling in her eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head to prevent him from noticing, and tried to calm her emotions.
"Another thing, more than half a month ago, when you went abroad, my dad's clinic happened to have an accident, so I went back to Rongcheng."
Lu Xingchen was slightly surprised, "What's wrong?" He was a little dissatisfied, "Why didn't you say this matter until now, you should have told me at that time, and I could rush back!" ”
"Non... At this time, Mencius's voice was already a little choked.
Lu Xingchen was a little shocked when he heard it, these four familiar words engraved in his mind were deeply painful, and he suddenly remembered that his father was exhausted because of the illegal medical practice lawsuit back then, but he was indignant that he could not die well.
Therefore, he had always been scornful of these unrighteous things, but he did not expect that he would hear these four words again today, and they still came out of her mouth, especially those committed by those closest to her.
Although there is a difference in one word, the nature is also a little indignant, whether it is out of luck or ignorance, this cannot be ignored, and of course he can't take it seriously, which really makes him in a dilemma.
But he obviously heard her crying in a low voice, and he thought that she was crying because she felt it, so he temporarily put aside the embarrassment in his heart and patted her back comfortingly, "Okay, don't cry, it didn't lead to serious consequences, it's a blessing, besides, isn't Uncle Meng okay now?" It's just that it can't be opened again, which is a pity. ”
Mencius took a step back, and when he looked up at him, he was already in tears, "I'm not crying because of this, it's because... Because Uncle Lu, Xingchen, I... I want to think about our relationship again...", she said the last sentence with some difficulty.
I don't know why, Lu Xingchen wanted to step forward, but he never stepped out.
He knew what was going on in her mind, she didn't want him to feel embarrassed, and wasn't that what he was thinking?
