A loud ringtone pierced the silent room, Qiqi's first reaction was to immediately hang up the phone, and then looked at Su's mother on the side, her body seemed to move, and her sleeping face showed an uneasy look, as if she was disturbed by this ringtone in her sleep.

Qiqi got up gently, put on a coat and went out, but it was a call from Hua Yan. In the past few days, he has disappeared quietly, and he has not given a letter of approval, Qiqi has a good face, and he will not take the initiative to bother him, and then he came back unsuspectingly, as if he was a hotel, coming and going freely.

Qiqi was resentful in her heart, but she also had to admit that she really wanted to hear what his reason was, so she dialed it back again, and her tone was very stiff: "Something?" ”

"I thought you were asleep." A gust of wind blew past his ears, Qiqi frowned, and looked at the window of the corridor, outside in the wind and rain. "Are you outside?"

"Where are you?" Hua Yan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

Qiqi glanced back at the door of the ward, gritted his teeth and said, "What's the matter with you." ”

"Qiqi, I want to see you." Hua Yan's voice suddenly softened, with a hint of sadness. Qiqi has always been duplicitous, and when he heard that he seemed to be preoccupied, he couldn't help but be worried, so he gritted his teeth and betrayed his heart again: "What's wrong?" ”

"No, I just want to see you, I'll pick you up where you are."

"No, no, I ......" Qiqi was scared, if Hua Yan knew that she was escorting Su's mother at the moment, it was estimated that he couldn't bear to let him leave, right? But now I obviously want to see him, but I haven't seen him for a few days, so I miss him.

Hua Yan heard Qiqi's hesitation and uneasiness, and said keenly: "Are you busy?" Something? ”

"No, no." Qiqi suddenly gave himself an excuse to excuse himself, anyway, Su's mother was already asleep, so she would go out for a while, and just come back early tomorrow morning.

Well, that's all.

Qiqi asked Hua Yan's current address, then went back to the ward to change her clothes, and then looked at Su's mother carefully, her breathing was gentle, her face was peaceful, and she should be sleeping Zhengxiang.

I'll come when I go.

Qiqi whispered, quickly slipping away like a child who had done something wrong.

……

After a few days, Su Xiaoran finally had a good night's sleep. When she woke up, it was already dawn, and she turned sideways to find no one beside her, so she rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked out of the room, smelling a wafting fragrance.

Chen Xi is preparing breakfast in the kitchen, he has a good habit, he has to eat breakfast every day, and pays attention to balanced nutrition, over time, Su Xiaoran, who is used to skipping breakfast, is also brought back on track by him.

"Hurry up and wash your face, I'm going to the company after breakfast."

Chen Xi didn't look back, but said as if he had eyes on the back of his head. Su Xiaoran smiled, simply hugged him from behind, pinched the root of his ear and asked, "How do you know that I am standing behind?" ”

"You usually wake up between 6:50 and 7:15, and the first thing you do when you wake up is look for me everywhere. It's exactly 7:15 a.m., and you didn't call me by name, you must know where I am. ”

Chen Xi turned his head, pulled her into his arms with his backhand, pinched the flesh on her cheek, and ordered: "Go wash your face quickly, the little flower cat is not good-looking." ”

"You're the little cat!"

Su Xiaoran scolded in a low voice, but her heart was sweet. Chenxi became more and more down-to-earth, but she seemed to be much more wooden.

The two went out together after breakfast, and when they got in the car, Chen Xi looked at Su Xiaoran dressed up ceremoniously, and pursed his lips and smiled: "You are too deliberate like this." ”

"I don't understand what you're saying." Su Xiaoran's face was expressionless, but her heart was very empty. It's not good to have a boyfriend who is too smart, and he can see her little thoughts.

"Qiao Jiang may come to the company today, Xiao Yan may go, you have to be mentally prepared." Chen Xi changed the topic, but the arc of the corner of his mouth was still in an upward posture, Su Xiaoran lost face, in addition to secretly scolding him in his heart, he could only hold his breath and pretend to be calm on the surface.

When they arrived at the company, as soon as the two walked in, they saw everyone gathered together, as if something was wrong. Seeing Chenxi coming, several people scattered, and at the same time, their eyes swept to Su Xiaoran, who walked in with him.

"Morning chairman."

was caught lazy during work hours, and his voice was naturally much weaker. "What's going on?"

Displeasure flashed across Chenxi's face, and when he was about to get angry, the crowd all dispersed, and Qiao Xiaoyan sat in a wheelchair and turned around.

"People have to ask me how my injuries are, and I'm delaying my work."

"Chenxi, you can't blame Xiaoyan, everyone also cares about her, after all, everyone is colleagues, and it is normal to say hello when she is discharged from the hospital."

Xia Lin on the side added, and then looked at Su Xiaoran: "Xiaoran is also back?" I heard that your mother is getting better, and I was thinking about going to her old house when I had time. ”

"I have a heart, there are so many affairs in the company, and you are Chenxi's right-hand man, so you can't waste time on such things."

After Su Xiaoran finished speaking, he took another step forward: "Xiaoyan can walk, right?" ”

"Reluctantly, the doctor said to recuperate, and most of the time it is convenient to use a wheelchair."

Although Qiao Xiaoyan was talking to Su Xiaoran, his eyes never left Chenxi for half a minute, and Chenxi knew that he was at a loss for not picking her up from the hospital yesterday, so he expressed his concern: "Don't come to work if you haven't fully recovered, recuperating from your injuries is more important than anything else." ”

"I said the same thing, but she didn't listen, saying that many things must be done by yourself, and it was you who persuaded her not to work so hard all the time."

"I will, let's all go back to work!"

Chen Xi gave an order, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, Qiao Xiaoyan was still looking at Chen Xi, and he did not shy away from Su Xiaoran being beside him.

"I'm going to work, too, you talk."

Su Xiaoran chuckled and walked away generously. Chen Xi knew that Qiao Xiaoyan must have something to say, so he pointed to the rest area on the side and said, "Go and sit there!" ”

"You talk, it's time for me to get busy."

Charlene pushed Qiao Xiaoyan to the rest area and turned to leave. Chen Xi took out a cigarette, he knew that Qiao Xiaoyan must have a long thing to say.

Sure enough, as soon as Qiao Xiaoyan came up, he directly asked him why he didn't pick her up from the hospital yesterday, and his tone was very impulsive, and his eyes were full of disappointment.

Chenxi took a puff of his cigarette and was not going to lie. "Xiaoyan, we should keep our distance."

"Is it because of Su Xiaoran?" Qiao Xiaoyan raised his eyes to look at Chenxi, disappointed and returned to reason and calm.

Chen Xi didn't answer, but took two puffs of cigarette hard, extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and said, "I asked Xiao Yan to remember to wipe the potion you brought a few times a day, and it will be fine soon." There's nothing important at work right now, so you can stay in the office and rest. ”

"That's all?"

"That's all."

"I see, thank you for your generous handout." Qiao Xiaoyan's mood fluctuated quickly, and Chen Xi endured it without speaking, letting her vent.

"I heard that Xiaomeng went back." Qiao Xiaoyan wanted to verify in Chenxi's eyes, but Chenxi responded with a more indifferent attitude: "Yes." ”

"You won't keep her?"

"Xiao Yan, what exactly do you want to say?" Chen Xi was a little impatient, looked at the watch on his wrist, it was almost time for a regular meeting, if Qiao Xiaoyan only said these two things back and forth, then he didn't have to answer.

"I just want to ask you if you still have any dreams in your heart. I went to your office a few days ago, and I clearly saw a photo of Xiaomeng in your drawer, Chenxi, you can't forget Xiaomeng, right? ”

"You stole my stuff?" In addition to impatience, Chen Xi's face was a little more disgusted, he hated it most when others tampered with his things without consent, and Su Xiaoran couldn't either.

"I'm just looking for a document." Qiao Xiaoyan realized that he might be angry, and his tone softened.

"Don't mess with my stuff in the future."

Chen Xi was slightly angry, got up and walked directly to his office regardless of Qiao Xiaoyan's call, Lia was walking over with two cups of hot tea, and was stunned when she saw Chen Xi leave with a black face. When Chenxi walked away, she dared to approach Qiao Xiaoyan, and asked weakly what was wrong, but she didn't expect to be scolded by Qiao Xiaoyan, saying that she had a bad idea and caused her trouble.

Lia was wronged, trembling back to the translation department, angrily throwing the cup full of tea into the trash, it happened that Su Xiaoran happened to pass by, looking at her with interest, but did not speak.

"Look at what, look!"

Lia glared, but became more and more like a child, Su Xiaoran didn't want to argue with her, just smiled and walked away. The more she had this attitude, the more angry Lia became, ignoring it was the greatest contempt for her existence, Lia gritted her teeth and muttered hatefully: Sooner or later, you will also lose your soul!

Chen Xi returned to the office, and there were still ten minutes left before the regular meeting. He sat in the chair, and his head always flashed with what Qiao Xiaoyan had said. Distraught, he opened the drawer and found a photo of Xiaomeng at the bottom.

That was when she was sixteen, right?

White skirt and white sneakers, smiling and sunny, like a child who does not understand the world.

Chen Xi's fingers couldn't help but swipe over the smiling face in the photo, perhaps, what made him infatuated with it was her clear eyes, no matter what he suffered, where he passed, as long as he saw those clean eyes, he could believe in the world and believe in himself.

People always change. Although I can't deny who she used to be because of her now, it's true, I really can't go back.

It was at this second that Chenxi decided to move this photo that had been stored for several years to another location.

It used to be his most secret place, but now it's an open secret, so let it go where it belongs.

Chenxi thought, the movements in his hands paused, and he struggled inwardly, and finally put the photo into the trash can under him, and said goodbye to it in his heart.
