Chapter 171: Don't Give Up (2nd Update)
In the private room of the teahouse, Qiao Xiaoyan sat quietly on the seat cushion, crossed his legs, while making tea quietly, and on the table on the side, the mobile phone kept vibrating.
She picked up a cup of freshly brewed tea, put it to her lips and sniffed it, letting the white mist rise.
The phone rang again, and she took a sip of tea before picking it up slowly.
"Hey."
"Where are you?"
"I'm ......," Qiao Xiaoyan looked at the time, "I'm in Accord Stream." ”
With a cup of hot tea, Xiaomeng appeared in front of Qiao Xiaoyan. Xiaomeng looked in a very bad mental state, and her crimson lip gloss couldn't hide her pale and weak face.
"Why didn't you answer my phone just now?"
"Busy. By the way, you and Chenxi...... How's it going? ”
Qiao Xiaoyan motioned for Xiaomeng to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
"He still won't talk to me." Xiaomeng looked frustrated, and her bloodshot red eyeballs couldn't hide the traces of the cry she had just had.
"He needs time, besides, you've been away for so long, and now you're back all of a sudden, he's going to be overwhelmed for a while. Don't be discouraged, I'm sure he still has feelings for you, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so much. ”
"Emotional ......" Xiaomeng smiled very far-fetched, a relationship ...... Can it really exist that long? Even if there is a gap of five years, ten years without contact?
"Xiao Yan, don't you even understand me?"
"What are you talking about? Of course I understand you. You and Chenxi used to be so good, I believe that there is no one in this world who is suitable for him except you. Don't worry, he'll be fine soon. ”
Qiao Xiaoyan gently patted Xiaomeng's shoulder, smiling warmly and sincerely.
Everything will be fine...... Xiaomeng thinks so too. Though...... Now the person who lives in Chenxi's heart has become someone else, but she believes that it is only temporary.
How can the relationship of half a year be compared with five years of wind and rain?
"Little Dream ......" Qiao Xiaoyan hesitated, "There is something...... I don't know whether to tell you or not. ”
"What's the matter, do you say?"
"About Su Xiaoran...... Do you know her? ”
"What do you mean. You mean, she has an ex-boyfriend who we've been with for four years? ”
"Not this." Qiao Xiaoyan looked around vigilantly, and then approached: "I also recently investigated, Su Xiaoran...... She seems to be an illegitimate daughter! ”
"What do you mean?" Xiaomeng's face wrinkled slightly, Su Xiaoran is perfect in Chenxi's eyes now, but if she can dig out a little bit of her gossip, I believe Chenxi will not be so precious to her.
"The outside grapevine said that Su Xiaoran was actually someone else's illegitimate daughter and was adopted by her adoptive parents since she was a child. I guess her biological parents must have a lot of background, as for why they abandoned Su Xiaoran in the first place...... I guess that's what we need to dig into. ”
Qiao Xiaoyan's eyes were determined, and it was bound to win, Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment and asked:
"But what if the other person is someone we can't offend? Besides, why do you think Chenxi would alienate her for such reasons? ”
"Have you forgotten what Chenxi hates the most?"
Qiao Xiaoyan woke up the person in the dream with a word, and Xiaomeng suddenly realized. Perhaps, this is a good idea.
"Xiaoyan, thank you." Xiaomeng is sincerely grateful. Qiao Xiaoyan smiled heartily: "Thank you for what?" Do we still need to divide one another? Xiaomeng, frankly speaking, if it weren't for you, I would definitely fight for Chenxi, but I know that in this world, except for you, no one will make him care so much, I really hope you two are well. ”
……
It was already late when Xiaomeng returned home, and as soon as she walked in the door, she had a premonition that something was wrong. Aunt Zhang, the nanny, obviously saw her, but did not say hello, but looked at her with frightened eyes.
The house is quiet.
Xiaomeng walked in as usual, and sure enough, she saw her mother sitting by the TV in the living room with a straight face, very serious.
"Mom...... How did you get back. ”
"How did I get back? If I don't come back, you're not going to make a big fuss! ”
The flower mother slapped the table hard, Xiaomeng trembled in shock, but still mustered up the courage to approach her: "I have to come back, Chenxi is the only dream in my life." ”
"Do you know what you're talking about? Where's your brother? He doesn't care about you! ”
Hua Mu's face was bruised, and Xiao Meng grabbed her arm, "It's none of my brother's business, I insisted on coming back." ”
"Do you still know what you're doing? Have you forgotten what I told you a few years ago? Child, you are like this, all the hard work I have worked on for several years has been in vain. ”
The flower mother suddenly stopped and looked at her daughter sadly, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were deep, and although the makeup was exquisite, it could not hide her old appearance.
Xiaomeng stood aside, at a loss. She hasn't forgotten the scene five years ago, and she will never forget the liver and intestines when she decided to leave.
She survived five years, and even she couldn't believe it. But how she survived was too clear.
If it weren't for the concern in her heart, she wouldn't have gone so far.
"I bought you a ticket, you have to go back tomorrow." The flower mother made an ultimatum.
"Nope! Since I decided to come back, it is impossible for me to go back. Mom, don't push me. ”
"It's you who don't push me." Hua Mu realized that her tone was a little heavy, so she rearranged her mood and said, "Xiaomeng, from childhood to adulthood, you understand your mother best. Over the years, why has my mother endured the pain of being separated from you, don't you know the bitterness? Your dad he's ...... Destined to be not all the way with us. And your brother, he is too vacillating, only you, you are strong, brave, and you are willing to share your mother's hardships. We've been working hard for five years, and we're about to succeed, so how can you say give up and give up? ”
"Mom, I'm sorry ......"
Xiaomeng sat down and leaned on the shoulder of the flower mother. "I know I've let you down, and I promise you that I'll help you reclaim what belongs to us. But I only have one request, give me a month, a month, I want to take Chenxi away, I can't live without him. ”
……
Tatsuki locked himself in his room for hours, from sunset until late at night. In just a few hours, he thought a lot, a lot. From the beginning of knowing Xiaomeng, to the departure of Xiaomeng later. Later, how he survived the dark gray hours of those few years, I forgot.
I only know that when I met Su Xiaoran on the street for the first time, his long-dormant heart rippled again, and then, he found out her details, and later, it was the current situation.
In the dark, Chen Xi got up, he was going to find Su Xiaoran.
It was knocked on the door in the middle of the night, although he had the key in his hand, but he didn't want to frighten her, the most important thing was that he felt that there was an inexplicable gap between the two.
Su Xiaoran, who opened the door, was very surprised, Chen Xi looked at the burning candles in a room, and suddenly felt nervous, and quickly pulled her out of the door: "What are you doing!" ”
"Didn't do anything."
"Didn't do anything? Why don't you light so many candles? Don't you know it's dangerous?! ”
Chenxi was very angry, so angry that he went crazy, and the most hated thing in his life was people who didn't cherish their lives.
"I opened the window. The circuit is faulty, and the property will have to come over tomorrow to repair it. ”
Su Xiaoran said, indifferently entered the door, and Chen Xi realized that he was making a fuss. He sighed secretly, bewildered by his excessive nervousness.
"Looking for me?"
Su Xiaoran asked as if he was talking to a stranger, and Chenxi closed the door, both of them with tired faces.
He suddenly blamed himself, in the past two days, he had been immersed in the sad past, but he had never cared that Su Xiaoran was pregnant.
"I'm sorry, little dream...... I'm sorry. ”
"You don't have to apologize to me, you're right. Chenxi, I'm not that fragile. ”
Su Xiaoran raised his eyes and looked at Chenxi with a calm face.
Two days was enough time for her to digest the unexpected.
"I didn't expect you to do that." Chenxi was quite surprised.
"Chenxi, you know I don't want to force you. It's not that I don't believe you, it's precisely because I've been in a relationship for that long that I understand better what a couple of years means. I've met Xiaomeng, and I can see that she still cares about you very much. ”
"Can we not talk about this now?" Chen Xi resisted, Su Xiaoran was stunned, and sure enough, he didn't say anything more.
"It's so late, why don't you sleep yet." Chen Xi sat aside, Mu Ran looking at her.
"I'm used to not sleeping, and besides, I can't sleep in this cool night."
Su Xiaoran smiled, turned his head to look at the bright lights outside the window, and didn't look at Chenxi's face.
"Xiao Ran. I won't give up on you. ”
After holding it for a long time, Chen Xi finally said this, Su Xiaoran was very surprised, she thought that she was doomed.
"What do you say......"
"I said, I will not give up on you, I will not give up on our children."
Chen Xi took Su Xiaoran's hand, stretched out his other hand and gently stroked her gradually emaciated face, feeling distressed.
"Actually, you don't have to be so reluctant, me"
Su Xiaoran's eyes widened, and before she finished her words, Chenxi's warm lips were already covered.
It was his taste, and he ran his hands across her waist, his warm breath spreading towards her.
Suffocating like the depths of the sea, she remembers, he had snatched her heart with a kiss.
Su Xiaoran slowly closed his eyes and allowed himself to completely enter his world.
"In the future, you are not allowed to drive me away again, I will not allow you to leave without permission, you know?"
Chen Xi held Su Xiaoran's cheeks with both hands, staring at her affectionately.
His low tone was gentle, but the words he uttered were too domineering.
It made it impossible for her to refuse.
Su Xiaoran leaned quietly in Chenxi's arms, it was good for a second, at least now he belonged to her completely.
Jingle bells.
The stunned mobile phone suddenly rang again, and Su Xiaoran picked up the phone and looked: it was still the unfamiliar number from last night. It's two o'clock in the morning, who is it?
Chen Xi took the phone, but couldn't tell whose number it was, Su Xiaoran looked up at him: "I started last night, and I called in the middle of the night." ”
