Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sending You Home
Chen Xi's movements were a little stiff, he originally just wanted to pat Su Xiaoran on the shoulder, but after seeing her trembling body, he suddenly couldn't bear to gently hug her into his arms, and together with the sand on her body, he was attached to his cold body.
Su Xiaoran was frightened by his movements, or maybe she hadn't come out of Ji Ren's shadow yet, she looked at him in horror and wanted to push him away.
"I won't touch you." Chen Xi said coldly, but the hands of Su Xiaoran, who he was holding, seemed to be even harder. Su Xiaoran quickly wiped away her tears and stared at him: "Why are you here?" ”
"Take a walk." Chen Xi found that she didn't cry anymore, so she let go of her hands, the bodies of the two people separated, and Su Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up, patted the dust off her body, and then pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry to let you see the joke." But don't worry, I don't have anything with him anymore, so, Han Xiya's side ......"
"That's between you, it's not about me." Chen Xi seemed to regain his indifferent expression, and Su Xiaoran felt that he kept a safe distance from others at all times, and that distance made it impossible for anyone to approach him.
"May I ask you a question?" Su Xiaoran raised her head, and her eyes just happened to see Chenxi's chin.
After getting Chenxi's acquiescence, Su Xiaoran said, "Can I know why you suddenly put my hand when you danced tonight?" That's a bit of a "Sort of Thing"
Su Xiaoran didn't dare to say that word, because it seemed very bad to say that he was rude in front of someone who had saved him.
However, Chen Xi seemed to understand what she wanted to express, his eyes looked at the calm sea, and said, "The music is over, shouldn't we let go of each other's hands?" ”
"But the dance wasn't over yet, and besides, I was turning around, and you should know what that means." Su Xiaoran said, subconsciously looking down at her feet, she was so sad just now that she forgot the pain in her feet, and now it seems that it really hurts!
"Can I ask you something?" Su Xiaoran said cautiously.
"Say."
"You...... Can you take me home? I mean, you should have come by car, right? Qiqi is not available now. Su Xiaoran was still a little apprehensive in her heart, but fortunately, Chenxi nodded and agreed. The two got into the car, and Chenxi drove silently, without asking much about the situation just now.
Su Xiaoran was grateful that he didn't ask, because it was really a memory that she didn't want to recall. Ji Ren would do this, which Su Xiaoran did not expect. In the past, they had also gone out together and stayed in hotels together, but every time Su Xiaoran reminded him, Ji Ren could suppress his impulse.
How did Kiren become like this?
Su Xiaoran was in a daze next to the car window, she really shouldn't have gone out alone with Ji Ren today, she almost caused an irreparable situation.
I don't know how long it took, Su Xiaoran was still immersed in her own world, and Chen Xi said a few times in a row, so much so that she didn't hear it.
Chenxi parked the car, turned his head to look at Su Xiaoran, and simply didn't speak.
After a few minutes, Chen Xi really couldn't wait, he gently patted Su Xiaoran's shoulder with his hand, which frightened Su Xiaoran and hurriedly turned around, with endless horror in his eyes.
"Here we are." Chen Xi pointed to the door of the community with her finger and said to her, Su Xiaoran realized that she had arrived home, she picked up her luggage and thanked Chen Xi vigorously.
When Su Xiaoran got out of the car, Chen Xi asked, "Do you want me to send you back?" ”
"Huh?" Su Xiaoran was surprised and panicked, she thought she had heard it wrong.
Chen Xi only asked patiently: "I said, do you want me to send you back?" You're not afraid that your ex-boyfriend will be waiting for you at your doorstep? ”
After Chenxi said this, Su Xiaoran really began to be afraid, it was a very exciting thing to see Ji Ren, but after tonight's incident, she became afraid of seeing him.
"Is that good?" After all, Chenxi was his boss, and he was not familiar with him, so Su Xiaoran did not dare to cross the line.
Chenxi also got out of the car and locked the door: "I'll send you to the door!" ”
The two of them walked side by side in the community, Su Xiaoran noticed that the occasional people passing by were in pairs, and she and Chenxi were like a couple in the eyes of others, right?
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoran unconsciously began to distance himself from Chenxi.
"Thank you for today, all in all, you saved me again." Su Xiaoran is sincerely grateful. Chen Xi was looking at the road very seriously, and said casually: "It's just a coincidence, you're welcome." ”
"Manager Chen, why do you want to give up dancing, I heard Hua Yan say that you used to like dancing very much."
"What else did he tell you?" Chen Xi stopped and looked at Su Xiaoran, his eyes made Su Xiaoran a little scared.
"He didn't say anything, he just said that you have a lot of talent at dancing and you love dancing too." Su Xiaoran looked at him in fear.
Chenxi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, he continued to walk forward, and said, "I don't need you to care about my affairs. ”
Forehead......
Su Xiaoran could only smile awkwardly, and the good feeling that appeared just now seemed to last less than a few seconds before disappearing again.
After a few minutes of walking quickly, Su Xiaoran stood at the door of his house and said with a smile: "Qiqi should be waiting for me at home, you go back, be careful on the road." ”
Chen Xi looked at Su Xiaoran who left after opening the door and entering, and seeing the back of him leaving, Su Xiaoran fell into thinking again: What kind of person is a person who looks like he has some secrets?
didn't have time to think about it, Su Xiaoran immediately noticed the fact that the house was blind in the dark light, and as soon as her heart tightened, she hurriedly turned on the light to find Qiqi's figure.
There is no in the living room, there is no room either, strange, it's one o'clock in the morning, why hasn't Qiqi come back yet?
Su Xiaoran called Qiqi's name while calling Qiqi.
A few seconds later, Qiqi's confused voice came from the phone. Su Xiaoran immediately realized what was going on, and she asked, "Qiqi, aren't you coming back tonight?" ”
"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I forgot to tell you. Su Xiaoran, I'm at Wan Lei's house now, I won't go back tonight, you are good at home, you have to go to bed early! ”
"Okay!" Su Xiaoran's heart sank. After hanging up the phone, she sat alone on the couch for a moment, then walked to the refrigerator and took out a can of cold beer and opened it, and a strong smell of beer wafted through.
Grunt, cold beer entered his throat and entered his stomach, Su Xiaoran took a deep breath, and then sat on the floor, looking at everything empty in the room.
Qiqi also left, and since yesterday, she realized that Qiqi had left her, and what about Ji Ren? Ji Ren doesn't seem to be the Ji Ren in his memory anymore.
The two of her former best partners now have their own people to care about, not to mention pain, but Su Xiaoran did feel a lot of helplessness.
She knew that she must be looking embarrassed now, she was very grateful that Chenxi didn't look at her with pitiful eyes, and she was actually very, very concerned about being knocked down by Ji Ren.
She didn't like that.
Su Xiaoran felt that she needed to thank Chenxi and thank him for saving him again. She looked at the time and estimated that Chenxi should be home, so she mustered up the courage to send him a text message:
Thank you today, you should be home, right?
Su Xiaoran hugged her mobile phone and waited, but she didn't see Chenxi's reply for ten minutes.
Su Xiaoran's only explanation for herself was: Chenxi didn't want to pay attention to her at all. This is the most realistic explanation.
Fools, people are just passing by to do a favor and just raise their hands!
Su Xiaoran patted her head, complaining that she always likes to think too much, and she is always afraid of owing too much to others.
That night, Su Xiaoran took a long bath in the bathroom, she wanted to wash off the sand on her body, and she wanted to wash away all her attachment and nostalgia for Ji Ren.
Luckily, I fell asleep, but beer was a good sleeper.
When she woke up the next day, when Su Xiaoran opened her eyes, she saw that the sun was already shining in the room, and she realized that it was not too late, so she fumbled with her mobile phone at the bedside to check the time, and when the mobile phone screen was turned on, Su Xiaoran saw a reminder of an unread text message.
The sender was Chenxi, Su Xiaoran quickly clicked on it and saw something she didn't expect:
You were already asleep in the shower, right? Then it won't bother you, good dreams!
Although it was only a few words, it was more than usual Chenxi said, and the most important thing was that Chenxi actually replied to her text message, which shows that he is not as cold as he seems on the surface.
Su Xiaoran was inexplicably excited, she got up and quickly sent him a message: I thought you fell asleep first, it turned out that I slept first, and the last thank you, you really helped me a lot.
After replying to the text message, Su Xiaoran got up and came out to search for Qiqi's figure, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, but the living room was still empty. It seems that Qiqi still hasn't come back.
Su Xiaoran originally wanted to call Qiqi and ask when she would come back, but she was afraid of disturbing Qiqi.
It turns out that the first step from familiar to unfamiliar starts with politeness.
Su Xiaoran made breakfast by herself, and then sat in front of the TV and watched the TV to eat breakfast, and when she was halfway through eating, Hua Yan suddenly called her.
"Su Xiaoran, come out and have fun this weekend!"
Su Xiaoran looked at her ankle, which was covered with potion, and said, "No, I'm going to rest at home for a day." ”
"What's so fun at home, today is Xiao Chenchen's birthday, I'm about to give him a surprise, you can come out too, I'm too busy alone!"
"It's Manager Chen's birthday today?" Su Xiaoran had the image of Chen Xi blowing a birthday cake and making a wish in his mind. She smiled knowingly and asked, "Does he like birthdays?" I don't think he likes to be disturbed, right? ”
