Chapter 129: Keep the Secret
"Qiqi, where are you."
got into another taxi, Su Xiaoran called Qiqi as soon as possible, the other end of the phone was a little noisy, Su Xiaoran guessed that Qiqi must have been fooling around in the bar again.
Sure enough, Qiqi's voice sounded like he was drunk. "Su, Su Xiaoran, are you off work?"
"Now, you're in MIX?"
"I ...... Yes, no, no. ”
"Is it here or not?"
"No...... At! Su Xiaoran, you go home and wait for me first, I'll go to your house to find you later, that's all, bye! ”
Qiqi hung up the phone at lightning speed, and Su Xiaoran scolded a few words at the blacked-out mobile phone screen: Dead Qiqi, he must be soaking in a man again.
There is no way, there is nowhere else to go now, Su Xiaoran went home, during which Chenxi had a phone call, but she was willing to answer, she threw the phone directly on the ground, and went to work alone.
Qiqi came to knock on the door at nine o'clock in the evening, Su Xiaoran stared at a face with a mask on it and ran to open the door, smelling the smell of Qiqiyi's wine.
"My aunt, why did you come so late, I'm almost asleep."
"Su Xiaoran, help me!" Qiqi's body seemed to have lost its concentration and became soft, no, the weight of the whole body pressed on Su Xiaoran's body, squeezing out her mask.
"Oh, slow down! Why drink so much! ”
Su Xiaoran held her breath, carried Qiqi's bulky body to the house, and then threw her on the sofa. "I'll go get you a hot towel to wash your face."
"Don't, don't go, have another drink with me!"
Qiqi's right hand was raised high, making a drinking motion, which was so funny that Su Xiaoran couldn't get angry.
"Still drinking, girls, how dangerous it is to always run to the bar. By the way, how did you just get back? Isn't it driving yourself? That's a drunk driver! ”
Su Xiaoran took a hot towel and wiped Qiqi's face. Qiqi pushed her hand away, then held her palm with both hands, and grinned: "Hehe, someone sent me back." ”
"Who?"
"You can't guess!"
"I know if you don't say it, it's definitely a new boyfriend I met at a bar again."
"Not really! It's a flower! It was Huayan who sent me back! Qiqi got up, squinting his eyes and looking a little angry, Su Xiaoran's head slammed, and then his mouth opened and couldn't close it for a long time.
"Qiqi, are you drinking with Hua Yan tonight?"
"Yes, he also said that he didn't want to see you, so" Before Qiqi finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth and was about to vomit, Su Xiaoran quickly pulled her to the bathroom and helped her turn on the faucet.
Qiqi began to 'repair after drinking' with difficulty, Su Xiaoran stood aside, and his heart was very uncomfortable, if last night was a temporary embarrassment, then there is no way to explain this matter today.
Hua Yan really didn't want to see her, no matter what the reason, in short, he was indeed avoiding her everywhere.
After a long period of loss, Su Xiaoran didn't know, was she really so annoying?
After Qiqi vomited, Su Xiaoran told her to take a shower, and then she herself exited the bathroom.
For some reason, she is unusually melancholy today, not sad, let alone sad, but unreasonable, melancholy.
She would rather be sad, at least she can find an excuse to vent it, but how to break the unspeakable melancholy?
Now her boyfriend has become a person who is not so trustworthy, and her friend, she really regards Hua Yan as her friend, but Hua Yan said that he doesn't want to see her?
The ghost sent the gods, Su Xiaoran fumbled with Qiqi's bag and took out a pack of cigarettes, Qiqi is a smoker, her parents don't know this, but Su Xiaoran knows, Su Xiaoran knew it a long time ago.
Su Xiaoran lit one, she had never smoked before, but after seeing Qiqi smoke so many times, she thought that it was just the same thing after all, so she inhaled hard, and almost choked. He only coughed, and his face was red to the base of his neck.
Bad smell!
Su Xiaoran extinguished the cigarette, and hated herself more and more for not being crisp enough. So he got up, walked to the window, and opened the curtain to take a look at the bright moon.
She has always had this habit, which she has since lived alone, and every time in the dead of night she can't sleep, she will move a bench to the window and sit down, sometimes for a night.
Su Xiaoran opened the curtain, looked up at a few looming stars in the sky, held up her chin, and resented a bit like a concubine in ancient times.
Jingle bells.
The phone rang again, and she could guess with her toes who was calling, so she didn't intend to take a look. I didn't expect this bell to live long enough, it kept making noise for a few minutes, stopped ringing and ranging, ringing and stopping, disturbing Su Xiaoran's dream of looking at the night sky in vain. Su Xiaoran got up extremely unhappily, picked up the mobile phone and swiped:
"I've already fallen asleep, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Liar, the light is still on in your room."
How......
Su Xiaoran was stunned in her heart, and then quickly walked to the window to see if the person standing under the building was not Chenxi. He stood there like a stone of looking at his wife.
Looking at his wife, Su Xiaoran was amused by his thoughts, but his face was still tight: "What if you sleep, what if you don't sleep." ”
"Is Xiao Yan looking for you?"
"Won't you just ask her?"
"Don't be angry, don't be childish, it won't solve anything. Xiaoran, listen to me, don't think about anything, go to bed early. ”
"Then please don't call again."
……
Su Xiaoran heard a long sigh, Chen Xi hung up the phone in silence, and despite the dim street lamp, Su Xiaoran could still vaguely see his same melancholy face.
His car left, and the sound of the whistle swept through the quiet night and into Su Xiaoran's heart.
……
After leaving Su Xiaoran's place, Chenxi rushed to Qiao Xiaoyan's house almost non-stop, to be exact, downstairs.
He called her and asked her to meet, and she quickly agreed, and by the time he arrived, she was already standing there, dressed in a big black trench coat, looking like a woman waiting for her lover at night.
"What's the matter with me in such a hurry?"
"You know what's going on."
Chen Xi directly omitted the politeness, and his face was very stiff.
"Huh." Qiao Xiaoyan lowered his head slightly, looked at the spiky grass that emerged under his feet, and smiled sadly: "Are you questioning me?" ”
"Xiaoran went on a business trip, you arranged it, right?"
"What if it's me, what's not me? As an employee, does she still have a small complaint about business trips? ”
"It's you."
Chen Xi was a little surprised, maybe before he came, he still believed in Qiao Xiaoyan and believed that she would not do such a thing, but now, he could hear a little weakness in her straightforward tone.
"There's nothing wrong with going on a business trip, but why make so many episodes? Lost your wallet, met your ex-boyfriend at the door of the hotel, Xiaoyan, is this what you are doing now? Where did Qiao Xiaoyan, whom I knew before, go? ”
"She's dead! From the moment you abandoned her and chose Su Xiaoran, Qiao Xiaoyan's heart was completely dead. Chenxi, even if it's someone else, at least I can understand your choice, but why did you choose Su Xiaoran? Which of her from head to toe is right for you? ”
"You don't need to teach me this!"
Chen Xi coldly interrupted Qiao Xiaoyan's words, this sound didn't need it, which made Qiao Xiaoyan's heart even colder, she stepped forward regardless of it, threw herself into his arms, and wanted to find his comfort, but what she got was indeed his more indifferent refusal:
"Don't ruin our friendship, Xiaoyan, I'll still treat you as a friend."
"But I don't want to be your friend!" Qiao Xiaoyan roared, and Chen Xi looked around, trying to calm her out-of-control emotions. But where is Qiao Xiaoyan willing to listen to comfort, all she wants is his heart.
"Why are you willing to think about her in everything, she was wronged, and you were the first to rush out, but what about me? Who cares about my grievances?! ”
"Xiaoyan, we're still friends."
"I don't want to be your friend, Chenxi, I tell you, I've been waiting for you for so many years, I don't just want to be your friend. You go back, Su Xiaoran's matter has nothing to do with me, I only have this sentence. ”
Qiao Xiaoyan forced back the tears in Xuan Zao's eyes, raised his chin, and said. She is looking forward to this Chenxi leaving soon, although there is too much reluctance in her heart, but no matter how reluctant she is, it can't match her self-esteem that she doesn't want to collapse in front of him.
Of course, she has self-esteem, and from the first day she knew him, she kept him in her heart and did not allow anyone to come near him.
Chen Xi took two steps back, didn't say anything, got into the car, and glanced at Qiao Xiaoyan again, only to see that she had already turned around and walked into the house, and he was relieved.
Leaving from Qiao Xiaoyan, Chenxi did not go home, but drove to the night snack shop they used to go to, and when the boss saw him, the nasolabial folds of his smile were wrinkled.
"Why did you come alone today?"
"Pass by, come in and sit."
Chenxi ordered a few bottles of wine and poured a few sips, but still felt that it was not a taste. There are noisy young people around, most of them are in groups of three or five, but he is the only one, who has the heart to buy drunk, but he still wants to stay sober alone.
The words of Su Xiaoran and Qiao Xiaoyan echoed in his ears at the same time, Su Xiaoran's misunderstanding, Qiao Xiaoyan's unhappiness, all of this made him feel like a fish in his throat.
Although he never admitted any of the quarrels, seeing that Su Xiaoran had more and more doubts about himself and more and more resentments, no matter how much he could bear it, he couldn't stand this state anymore.
It turns out that it is much harder to keep a secret than to tell a lie.
Chen Xi poured another sip of wine into his mouth, and Hua Mu's words appeared in his ears: Never let Su Xiaoran know the truth of the matter, if she knew, then her and Hua Yan's lives would be ruined.
Yes, she did say so when she was in the teahouse that day, and at that time, just halfway through their conversation, Su Xiaoran and Hua Yan broke in. God knows, how shocked he was at that time?
