Chapter 55: Why are you hiding it from me?
As soon as the dinner began, the atmosphere began to become ambiguous.
In addition to the two old men, the most enthusiastic should be Qiao Xiaoyan. She was the first to give a speech, and then there was a long period of nostalgia for their previous high school life together, and every sentence was inseparable from Chenxi.
Teacher Fang and they had common memories, so they quickly empathized, and laughed with crooked eyebrows, Teacher Hou felt Su Xiaoran's uneasiness, and looked at her with a smile from time to time.
Qiao Xiaoyan first sandwiched vegetables for Teacher Fang, and then also sandwiched vegetables into Chenxi's bowl: "Chilled okra, you love to eat." β
The eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness and care.
"Thanks, I'll do it myself." Chenxi lowered his head and ate.
"You eat too, don't be stunned." The silent Hua Yan was finally willing to speak, Su Xiaoran glanced at him gratefully, and ate quietly.
"Chenxi, I heard that you have a girlfriend?"
Halfway through the meal, Teacher Fang suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at Chenxi in surprise, and even Chenxi himself couldn't hide the surprise that passed by his eyes.
"Is there any?" Teacher Fang was anxious to know the answer.
"Listen to whom? No! β
"No?" Teacher Fang looked at Su Xiaoran, not knowing who was real and who was fake.
Qiao Xiaoyan discovered Teacher Fang's abnormality, and asked with a smile, "Teacher Fang, where did you hear about this?" How can a person like Chenxi have a girlfriend, don't you say? β
Teacher Fang was amused: "Don't keep squeezing him like this, there should be sometimes, you have to hurry up Chenxi." β
"And you, Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you today? Sullen, you're not like that. β
Teacher Fang cares about Huayan and her protΓ©gΓ©s.
Hua Yan regained her bright smile and joked, "What else can I do?" I'm out of love! β
"Broken love? Which girl have you harmed again? β
"How can it be called a scourge, people don't fancy me at all, it's just me who is passionate!"
Hua Yan looked at Su Xiaoran, and Su Xiaoran buried her head lower.
Teacher Fang finally saw a clue, and in order to make the children more relaxed, she turned to Teacher Hou: "You are sick, there is nothing to do, right?" What did the doctor say? β
"It's no big deal, I'm thinking about coming back every day. You don't know that the hospital is not a place for people at all, and besides, Xiao Ran is so hard that I can't watch her suffer for me. β
"Teacher Hou, don't say it, let's eat quickly, I'll have to take medicine later."
Su Xiaoran interrupted their conversation and ate at a faster pace.
A few people see it in their eyes, those who know it clearly, and those who don't know speculate for no reason. Fortunately, the difficult dinner was finally over, and Su Xiaoran was anxious to send Teacher Hou back, but Teacher Hou preferred to stay at Teacher Fang's house, saying that there was still a night talk together at night.
Su Xiaoran had no choice, so she had to prepare to go home by herself.
"Shall I send you?" Hua Yan asked Su Xiaoran in front of everyone, Teacher Hou didn't have much impression of Hua Yan, so he couldn't help but observe a few more glances at this time.
It looks like a cheerful child, but this white hair and fancy clothes on his body really don't dare to compliment.
Chen Xi's arm was dragged by Qiao Xiaoyan in his hand, and the air was filled with the smell of fireworks.
"Okay!" Su Xiaoran didn't want to leave alone, and she didn't want Hua Yan to lose face.
The four of them went downstairs together.
Su Xiaoran walked at the back, watching Chenxi's tall back getting farther and farther away from him, and watching Qiao Xiaoyan smile from time to time and look sideways at Chenxi.
Downstairs, two cars were lying there.
"Tomorrow weekend, let's go learn pottery, shall we?" Qiao Xiaoyan treated Hua Yan and Su Xiaoran as air.
"Okay."
Chenxi's answer was surprising.
"What about you? Is it dating or dating? Qiao Xiaoyan was very happy.
"Don't bother with it, let's go first."
Hua Yan opened the car door and let Su Xiaoran in, and Su Xiaoran walked in eagerly as if he had entered a hole in the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" As soon as the car drove to the road, Hua Yan couldn't wait to ask.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't lie to me, I can see that you and Chenxi, you quarreled."
"Quarrel? I think you must have misunderstood, how can we quarrel if we don't have a relationship? β
"Xiao Ran, do you dare not face yourself or do you dare not face Chenxi?"
Hua Yan made a big turn and simply stopped on the side of the road.
"Do you know what happened that day at the resort? We were having a good time, and Chenxi called me over and said you were her girlfriend. β
What the.
Su Xiaoran was very surprised, she had heard Qiao Xiaoyan say this, but it was more true from Hua Yan's mouth.
"He's always used me as a substitute for your sister, hasn't he?"
"Xiao Yan said that, right?"
Hua Yan smiled bitterly, then held the steering wheel with both hands and buried his head: "We can't forget the little dream, and Chenxi can't forget it." β
"So he's not qualified to say he likes me, is he?" Su Xiaoran's sharp tone made Hua Yan flinch, looking at this issue from Su Xiaoran's point of view, it was indeed like this.
Who can accept that a person who has someone else in his heart says that he loves himself?
"Xiao Ran, I should know that it takes courage for me to choose to talk to you about this issue. My sister on one side and you on the other. Although Xiaomeng is no longer there, Chenxi is the only person she has ever loved, and it is difficult for me to choose. β
"You don't have to choose, we're like that, it's good. It's just that I may have to trouble you in the future, and I won't participate in your group activities, so there's no point. β
Hua Yan still drove Su Xiaoran home, he held back his anger and had nowhere to vent, after seeing Su Xiaoran go upstairs, he turned the car around and drove directly to Chenxi's house.
Chenxi and Qiao Xiaoyan returned home one step earlier, it was Qiao Xiaoyan who drove Chenxi back, she was very happy about everything tonight, it was inevitable that she would talk like a little girl along the way, and she didn't care if Chenxi was not in the state.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." Qiao Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Little rock. I...... I may not be able to go tomorrow. β
"But you promised me." Qiao Xiaoyan didn't forget how happy she was when Chenxi said yes in front of Su Xiaoran.
Chen Xi shook his head: "Xiaoyan, I know you're good to me, but I just want to be quiet for a few days, okay?" β
"You still care about her."
"It's none of her business."
"Why not? The two of you are eye-to-eyed at dinner tonight, do you think I don't know? β
"Little Rock! It's not like you! β
"Then tell me, what kind of Qiao Xiaoyan do you know? Is it that she will always tell you that it doesn't matter, is it that she will never reject you? You're sad, she's even more sad than you, you're happy, even if you're bitter in your heart, she has to pretend to be fine? Chenxi, I'm really tired, isn't that Qiao Xiaoyan? The real me. The real Qiao Xiaoyan loves Chenxi very much, from the very beginning, if there was no Xiaomeng, then she would not have waited for so many years! Yes, I can wait for you to come out and wait for you to forget Hua Xiaomeng, but I can't wait for you to forget a Su Xiaoran. Chenxi, I am also a human being, I have always been by your side, why did you choose to ignore me? β
Chenxi had never seen Qiao Xiaoyan cry, this was the first time.
He suddenly felt that he was a wicked person, so he didn't dodge when Qiao Xiaoyan cried and approached him.
She leaned quietly on his shoulder, counting her joys and sorrows.
Not far away, Hua Yan parked the car under the tree and held the steering wheel tightly.
After Qiao Xiaoyan left, he finally got out of the car and shouted in as loud a voice as possible: "Chenxi! β
Chenxi turned around and was hit hard by Hua Yan's fist.
"One Su Xiaoran is not enough, do you still want to bring Xiao Yan in? Have you forgotten the oath we swore back then? We are good friends for life, good friends, not random people who can be used to relieve loneliness! β
"Stop!" Chenxi also roared.
"I don't! Why, didn't you see that Xiao Ran looked so unhappy tonight? Have you ever wondered why, because you selfishly and self-righteously messed up her life, and then left extremely irresponsibly! I warn you, you are not allowed to approach Su Xiaoran again in the future! β
"It's none of your business."
Chen Xi turned around and walked away, Hua Yan chased after him, and the two scuffled together, attracting a lot of onlookers.
After a few minutes, the two looked at each other exhausted, cold and strange.
"Enough trouble?"
Chen Xi gasped and said, then grabbed the bag that fell on the ground and walked straight to the direction of home, Hua Yan was stunned in place, and her mood changed from anger to loss.
His gaze was fixed on a business card on the ground, he picked it up and found that it was Su Xiaoran's business card.
Su Xiaoran on it was wearing a ponytail, which looked a little green compared to what she thinks about now, and her business card is also white.
Hua Yan curiously flipped over the back and found that the date on it was written the year before last, that is, before Chenxi entered the company.
How could Chenxi have a photo of Su Xiaoran at that time? Don't......
Hua Yan's heart was pinched together, he remembered that he had asked Chenxi, asking him why he gave up a high-paying job abroad and chose here, at that time Chenxi's smile was very gentle, and he didn't even notice it.
Also in trouble was Su Xiaoran, who returned home and found Qiqi sitting on the sofa, sitting upright and with serious eyes.
"Why are you here?"
"I have the key. Where have you been? Qiqi's tone was cold.
"I sent Teacher Hou out of the hospital, what's wrong?"
Su Xiaoran sat next to Qiqi, not understanding why she was so fierce.
"Su Xiaoran, why are you hiding it from me?" Qiqi had tears falling when he said this.
Su Xiaoran was very panicked, she took Qiqi's cold hand: "What's wrong?" What am I hiding from you? β
"You hide everything from me, whether it's Teacher Hou or Ji Ren, you hide everything from me. Do you think you're great? Su Xiaoran, you didn't tell me such a big thing, did you treat me Qiqi as your best friend? β
