Chapter 9: To each his own heart

Zero Degree Restaurant

"Thank you before, the clothes are for you, the handkerchief is inside." As he spoke, he handed the bag in his hand to Xi Chen.

"You're welcome, didn't you say it before, you're welcome, we're friends." Xi Chen smiled, Xi Chen's smile was very clean, like an umbrella handed over by a stranger when it was raining, with kindness.

After eating, the time was still early, Angel and Xi Chen walked and walked unconsciously to the pedestrian street, this street is very beautiful, along the way, Angel and Xi Chen talked and laughed, Angel likes this comfortable mode of getting along.

When she got home, Angel thought back to getting along with Xi Chen, Xi Chen is a very caring kind of person, this dinner, Angel experienced this kind of intimacy, he would thoughtfully ask her if she had any taboos, and would thoughtfully help her cut the steak, pull the car door for her, and send her home considerately......

Angel likes this feeling, this feeling of being taken care of is very good, Angel thinks maybe this is like it, this feeling of dependence on a person, she has never had it.

On the other hand, the Lu family's charity reception was held in the lobby of the Lu family's hotel, and all the people who went to the business were people with heads and faces.

"Shuping, you're here." Lu's mother said and didn't forget to look at Xuanmei who was led by Shuping, Xuanmei herself likes this child, beautiful, cheerful, she is a know-your-hearted, and she has grown up watching since childhood, the two families are world friends, Ran Ran and Xuanmei The two children grew up together from childhood, and the emotional foundation is good, and they are sure to promote this marriage, but they asked Ran Ran a few years ago, and Ran Ran only treats other girls as good friends, and has no further plans, and this matter is over.

"Auntie, you are really getting more and more beautiful, by the way, why haven't you seen Haoran?" Xuanmei smiled and asked suspiciously. Xuanmei is dressed up very beautifully tonight, she is white, and the dress she chooses is also suitable for herself, which just sets off her good figure, and her makeup tonight is also excellent, generous, and clean.

"He, Lulu wasn't feeling well just now, I accompanied Lulu to the lounge, and I came back in a while, I know that you have a good relationship, and you still think about him." Lu's mother responded to Xuanmei with relief, she likes Xuanmei, she knows that Xuanmei and Haoran have a good relationship, and she is also very pleased that her son can have such a good friend.

"Lulu?"

"It's the first few natural blind dates, that girl I like a lot, knowledgeable, Xiaomei, you have a good relationship with Ran Ran, you have to help your aunt persuade him, and the boss is not small." Lu Mu didn't see a trace of loneliness flashing in Xuanmei's eyes, and took her hand and asked her to help match

"Okay, Auntie, I will, don't worry." Xuanmei smiled, excused herself to go to the bathroom, and walked away.

In the bathroom, Xuanmei looked at herself in the mirror and smiled bitterly, is she too self-indulgent, she and Lu Haoran have known each other for so many years, his girlfriend is constant, she hasn't hinted at him in the past few years, if he likes himself, he won't pretend not to understand, unless he doesn't like himself, he only regards himself as a friend.

Raised her hand to wipe her tears, made up her makeup and walked out, passing by the lounge, the door was hidden, Xuanmei stopped, turned her head and looked, this woman with her back to herself was very petite, leaning on Lu Haoran's arms, as if she was still saying something. Xuanmei didn't dare to continue looking, turned around and walked towards the hall, because it was a charity cocktail party, there were more people, Xuanmei didn't like this kind of occasion, this time it was just her father's business trip, so she came with her mother.

I found a place to rest, I was upset, I picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, it was really bitter, I don't know if it was a bitter wine or a bad mood, I recalled a few years in college, and a few glasses in a row, she knew that she couldn't drink too much on this occasion, she came here with the face of the family, and if she drank too much, she would be laughed at by others for not knowing the etiquette, thinking so in her heart, her hands were still very honest, and she had a few glasses. In a daze, I only heard Lu Haoran's mother say:

"Sister-in-law Li, come and help Xiaomei to the upstairs room, it's too late, let her sleep here, don't toss back and forth." said that he took Xuanmei's mother home together, the two families are relatively close, because they are world friends, so the relationship between the two families is very good, and the two of them are college classmates, and some activities and entertainment projects are all together.

Lu Haoran sent Lulu away, as for Lulu, she was just hindering her father's friendship and acting on the spot.

Seeing that Aunt Li reluctantly pulled up Xuanmei, just her body, a person in her fifties, I really don't know what my mother thinks, let her help the drunk upstairs, it's not too embarrassing, thinking about it, I just asked Aunt Li to put Xuanmei down, picked up Xuanmei horizontally and walked upstairs.

In a daze, Xuanmei smelled a familiar smell, this perfume Lu Haoran has used it for a few years, Xuanmei knew that this was Haoran, rubbed his head against his chest, and smiled with satisfaction.

When I got upstairs, I put Xuanmei on the bed, thoughtfully took off my shoes, and dragged the quilt on Xuanmei's body, Xuanmei wore her hair, and her hair was scattered on the other side of her face, she pouted uncomfortably, Haoran subconsciously reached out and brushed away the hair scattered on her face, the yellow-toned light hit Xuanmei's face, the eyelashes that didn't sleep flashed, her hand stopped on her forehead, above her nose, her hand trembled, and then she took her hand, well, I have to say that the sleeping little Nizi is still quite cute, turned around to walk out, and suddenly her hand was dragged, "Haoran, Don't leave. Xuanmei called softly, it may be the effect of alcohol that gave Xuanmei the courage to hold his hand, but the next second Haoran let go of her hand.

"Okay, I'm not leaving, let's sleep." As he spoke, he covered the quilt upwards.

Xuanmei turned around, her back to Lu Haoran, her eyes red. After a while, hearing the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther away and the sound of the door closing, Xuanmei sat up and sat on the bed with her arms around her knees, her eyes flushed, and she sobbed a few times from time to time......
