Chapter 031: The Secret of July 20th

Dong Xiaokui was stunned for a moment, and instinctively asked, "What did you say?" ”

The man in front of him had a very good temper, and repeated it again with a pleasant face, saying, "I am Xu Shuting, the third elder of the Xu family, and my second brother is Xu Zhonglin." ”

The words "Xu Zhonglin" exploded in her ears. Originally, through the pains of transformation in the past few days, she had made up her mind not to be involved with Xu Er anymore. She also expected that a proud person like Xu Er would be very angry if he didn't get a response from him after taking the initiative to call like that. Because of his pride, he will inevitably ignore her from now on.

Because, Dong Xiaokui will not idiotically think that life is an idol drama, the prince has to fall in love with the heroine at first sight, and he has to revolve around the heroine with his brain, let him beat and scold, and the whole grandson is like a grandson.

What's more, who can tell whether they are a supporting role or a protagonist in a certain scene?

An excellent man like Xu Er thinks that she is different from others at best, and has a slight affection for her. As for not giving up on anyone, that's what only people who love deeply do. Xu Er to her, has not yet reached this kind of Chengdu.

She counted everything well. And as she said on the other side, she was very vicious to herself. took the knife stubbornly, didn't take any anesthetic, and directly eliminated Xu Er, who had taken root in his heart.

However, things always come full circle. When she was almost holding on, ruthlessly going through the most uncomfortable days, her heart gradually calmed down, and she was about to leave Jincheng and go to Wuzhizhou to start a new life, Xu Shuting actually came here and brought news of Xu Er.

"Xiaokui, that person is your classmate?" Grandma Zhang was a little uneasy, and shouted at the door.

Dong Xiaokui was stunned, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

Grandma Zhang was relieved, nodded, and continued to sit at the door, stroking the big yellow cat she raised, and the big yellow cat was lying lazily next to it.

"I hope you'll come back with me." Xu Shuting said.

Dong Xiaokui smiled desolately, didn't dare to look at his eyes, and whispered: "Joke, who you say, I must believe it?" Besides, why should I go back? ”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked into the house with all her might, warning herself: Don't go to hear about Xu Er, don't go. I went to ask, it's another way, and the efforts of the past few days have been in vain.

"Dong Xiaokui, my brother is in a bad situation now." Xu Shuting hurriedly shouted.

She remembered the phone call that day and heard him cough. The footsteps were paused, but it was only a pause, and he staggered back into the house. Xu Shuting naturally followed up and shouted: "Dong Xiaokui, my brother-"

She carried the basket of vegetables, did not look back, walked briskly to the patio, and as she walked, she said, "You go, your brother has nothing to do with me." ”

Xu Shuting really didn't keep up, she fetched water in the patio, put down the wheel, the bucket always couldn't hold water, she was very anxious to drag the bucket up, and threw it down, still not loaded with water, but let the well rope cut her fingers, and the blood was gurgling, and she didn't feel pain. Eventually, he pulled up half a bucket of water, poured it into the basin, and soaked his hands in the water, and the blood soaked the whole basin of water, dark red and dark red.

It took a long time for the bleeding to stop. She sat on the bluestone by the well platform in frustration, sighed, stretched out her hand to cover her face, and her heart was full of question marks, "What's wrong with Xu Zhonglin?" ”

After sitting for a while, she stood up. Yes, she was worried about him. From guessing his identity, to knowing that he was on a mission, and when he called that day and said that ambiguous word, she was worried about him the whole time.

She wanted to know about him and whether he was good or not. So, at this moment, she chose to follow her heart. Hurriedly ran out of the house to find Xu Shuting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I ran in such a hurry, I bumped into my mother who came back from my grandmother's house at the Yongdao crossing.

"You kid, reckless, what are you doing?" Mom took her arm.

She pulled out a forced smile at her mother and said, "Mom, I'm fine, I'll go out." ”

"Xiaokui, your face is so bad, are you sick?" Mom pulled her and put her hand on her forehead.

She shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just a little sleepy, don't worry, Mom." ”

Her tone couldn't lift her spirit, she broke free of her mother's ** hand, ran out, and said as she ran: "Mom, you cook dinner tonight, I'll go find a friend and discuss something." ”

She ran to the street and looked around, where was Xu Shuting's shadow. She panicked, but she still looked around and ran two steps forward. Grandma Zhang was still calmly stroking the big yellow cat and said, "Xiaokui, are you looking for your classmate?" He walked towards the entrance of the town, as if there was something going on, and he used to run. ”

"Thank you, Grandma Zhang." Dong Xiaokui said as she ran towards the entrance of the town. Because out of the town, it is the bus stop.

I just hope that Xu Shuting didn't get in the car, and everything was still in time. She wanted to ask what happened to Xu Er.

She ran to the bus stop in one breath, the wooden bus stop was empty, the western sky, the clouds had dimmed, and the twilight was gradually rising.

It seems to be gone. Dong Xiaokui sat on the wooden stool and sat blankly for a while, but still stood up and walked back. The whole person seemed to have taken all his breath, and he kept thinking that Xu Shuting said that Xu Er's situation was not very good.

Why is it not so good, so Xu Shuting came here to find her.

Dong Xiaokui, Dong Xiaokui, you claim to be smart and calm, why are you so emotional and can't see the seriousness of the matter? She gritted her teeth and secretly blamed herself.

However, she is Dong Xiaokui, and she belongs to the person who knows that she is wrong, can admit it, and actively looks for countermeasures according to the situation. After a short period of panic and self-blame, she decided to go home and call Xu Er, if it didn't work, let Li Yongfeng call Ye San.

Today, she wants to know Xu Er's situation no matter what.

Once a decision has been made, the person has a direction. Dong Xiaokui was the calm and self-contained woman again, and she quickened her pace to go home, because the phone was still lost at home.

As soon as he walked near the abandoned Bai Mansion, a person walked over from a distance, and Dong Xiaokui saw that it was Xu Shuting.

"Dong Xiaokui." Xu Shuting ran over panting and shouted, with a smile on his face.

Dong Xiaokui still looked serious and asked, "You didn't leave?" ”

Xu Shuting smiled and said, "I'm coming from Beijing, so I can't just leave without doing anything, right?" He stared at Dong Xiaokui and added, "This is not my style." ”

When the kid said this, he shook his head coquettishly. It's a shame that I don't have flowing hair, otherwise I would have to advertise a certain shampoo.

"Well, what are you going to say to me, speed. Procrastination is not my style either. Dong Xiaokui said, her heart was extraordinarily calm, and she quietly waited for Xu Shuting to say the news of Xu Er.

Xu Shuting looked at her playfully, then took out his wallet, took out his ID card and handed it to her, saying, "This is my ID card, you can verify it." ”

Dong Xiaokui was speechless for a moment, holding Xu Shuting's identity, looking at the date on it, this guy is only two years older than himself, but his home address is in Jincheng.

"By the way, this is the passport, I just went back to the car to get it." Xu Shuting handed it over again.

Dong Xiaokui didn't answer, but returned the ID card to him and said, "What are you doing?" ”

"You're right, there's no reason to trust me, a stranger I've only met once, so I'm going back to the car and getting my passport." Xu Shuting said very seriously.

It turned out that this guy's disappearance was not a disappointment to leave, but something to confirm his identity. When Dong Xiaokui heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You are thoughtful." ”

"That's nature, that's my style." Xu Shuting smiled lightly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can call Third Brother Ye to confirm." ”

Just look at this man's eyebrows, he is so similar to Xu Er, as if he has been stamped with a seal, do you still need a few pieces of paper to prove it? Although she was much more sober than before, she was worried about Xu Er's situation in the end, so she urged: "I'll just say that, don't take it to heart." Tell me about it, what's wrong with your second brother? ”

Speaking of Xu Er, Xu Shuting also frowned, sighed, lowered his voice and said: "Presumably you also know the identity of my second brother, seemingly peaceful days, there are all kinds of dangers at any time." ”

Dong Xiaokui's heart shook, lowered her eyes and whispered: "I never want to inquire about him, including his identity." It's just that I know some of it in the end. ”

"Don't look at my family, which is a centuries-old inheritance, in the end, every generation has to suffer a lot of people. That kind of suffering is unknown to ordinary people. It's like me, so happy and happy, and I have cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes. Xu Shuting couldn't help but sigh.

"I know that. Tell me if he's hurt. Dong Xiaokui asked.

Xu Shuting nodded, frowned tightly, and said, "I don't know exactly how I got hurt." Because that's classified. More than 20 days ago, I was playing in Italy, and my eldest brother sent me an email saying that my second brother was injured and I rushed back immediately. At the time, I didn't pay much attention to it. Because the second brother's injury is simply commonplace. He has a lot of injuries on his body, and because he has handled them well, he can barely see the scars if he doesn't look closely. I stayed in Italy for two more days, and when I came back, I was scolded by my eldest brother so much that although the second brother was awake, he still fell asleep a lot, and the eldest brother had to preside over a few meetings and inspect some projects, and I couldn't let my mother know about it, so I was in the hospital guarding the second brother. I heard him call your name while he was unconscious. ”

Dong Xiaokui has been listening quietly, his heart has risen and fallen several times, and the injury that can make him unconscious must be life-threatening.

Thinking about that day, Chen Jun suddenly disappeared, which was strange in itself. Chen Jun is his confidant and does things for him. He asked Chen Jun to follow her and listen to her instructions, how could Chen Jun leave the mess like that and abandon him.

At that time, I was stupid enough, why didn't I think of this. She lowered her head, full of self-blame and chagrin, and whispered, "Really? ”

"Well, he shouted, 'Xiaokui, good, I'm fine', and I was also stunned." Xu Shuting relayed this, probably too numb, a little embarrassed, as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed several times.

He actually said this in a coma, Dong Xiaokui buried his head lower, only to feel flustered for no reason, and couldn't help but think about him saying this, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Xu Shuting coughed a few more times before continuing: "In my memory, my second brother didn't speak to people in such a gentle tone, even if he was to Sister Zixiu back then, he didn't have such a tone. So, I think, you must have a different place in his heart. So, I discussed with the third brother and said that if you come to him, maybe he will be in a good mood and his health will be better soon. But the third brother objected. ”

"Why is Ye San opposed?" Dong Xiaokui almost blurted out a question, and only after asking did she feel a little inappropriate. Fortunately, Xu Shuting didn't care about her embarrassment, but replied: "I heard the third brother say that it was my second brother who confessed before he fell into a coma and didn't let you know, so that you could concentrate on handling your affairs and rush back to Ningyuan." ”

This sentence shocked Dong Xiaokui, didn't Chen Jun say that he didn't tell Xu Er that he left the capital? She always thought that Xu Er didn't know she was in Jincheng. Every time I speak, I'm afraid I'll show my feet. But people have long known that she is in Jincheng, and they also know that she is back to deal with her own affairs. Perhaps, he even knew what she was doing when she came back.

This wicked man. Things were so busy, he could still know her whereabouts. Dong Xiaokui pursed his lips and said, "Then more than twenty days have passed now, his injuries should be healed, and it won't be of much help if you come to me now." If you talk about nursing, I believe that the nursing staff you invite are more skilled in business and more thoughtful in service. ”

When Xu Shuting heard this, he had a crying and laughing expression on his face, and said, "Dong Xiaokui, no wonder you can force people like my brother to be like that." I've seen it, and I've just said so much, it's all in vain. ”

Dong Xiaokui glanced at him and criticized: "It's been more than 20 days, but you give me the current situation." ”

Xu Shuting scratched his head and said with a smile: "I forgot about it for a while." By the way, did he mention July 20 to you before? ”

This date made Dong Xiaokui's heart tighten, and he immediately nodded and said, "I mentioned it." At that time, he was busy, and occasionally called me in the evening, saying that he would try to finish his work before July 20, and asked me to wait for him in Ningyuan. ”

Xu Shuting smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Dong Xiaokui, what are you asking me to say about you." My second brother is in the hospital, actively cooperating with the treatment, unprecedented. In the past, he would say 'those quacks' at every turn, but this time he didn't say anything at all, and actively cooperated, which surprised us all. In order to be able to be discharged from the hospital and return to Ningyuan on July 2. But you actually forgot that day——, hum, he didn't take any medicine that day, and he didn't cooperate with the treatment, let's all get out, don't bother him. Hmph, Dong Xiaokui is your culprit. ”

Dong Xiaokui was concerned, smiled wryly, and said embarrassedly: "I encountered a lot of things that day, and I forgot about it for a while. ”

"Leave it to you." Xu Shuting said, then suddenly leaned over, with a look of ill will, and asked, "Dong Xiaokui, did you promise my brother to come back to him." And then, broke his promise again? ”

"Huh? No, I don't. Dong Xiaokui replied.

She did want to go back to him, but it was only a thought in her heart, and she didn't tell him.

"That's strange, he was happy all day on the twenty-one, but then he didn't say a word, and even I drove away, saying that I wanted to be quiet. The doctor said that he couldn't be angry, and Ben Gongzi was arresting you personally. Xu Shuting squinted at Dong Xiaokui.

"That doesn't have to be because of me." Dong Xiaokui said that the confidence is somewhat insufficient.

"It doesn't matter if it's you or not. You go back by yourself, I don't want my second brother to be treated well and fall into some kind of disease. Also, don't let me tie you up. Hum. Xu Shuting said, glancing at him, he looked evil.

Dong Xiaokui raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "I'll go back to the capital tomorrow." It's just that I want to ask, what exactly is the day of July 20th. ”

Xu Shuting asked in surprise as if he was looking at an alien: "He didn't tell you?" ”

"Nope." Dong Xiaokui replied.

Xu Shuting thought about it for a while, thinking that Xu Er wanted to tell her in person on this day. Therefore, resolutely do not disclose. Dong Xiaokui smiled miserably and said, "Then I won't go back." Besides, I'm not his anyone, why should I be nice to him if he is better to me? In this world, not all efforts can be rewarded. It can't be because he is the second son of Xu who is loved by thousands of people, this law does not hold. ”

Xu Shuting gritted his teeth and nodded, and said, "Dong Xiaokui, you are ruthless, okay, let me tell you, you must pretend not to know." May I? ”

The threat worked, Dong Xiaokui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Of course you can." ”

"July 20 is my second brother's real birthday. He rarely did, only one or two friends knew about him, and a few people in our family knew about it. Do you promise to go back now? Xu Shuting said it, and he was very displeased that Dong Xiaokui threatened him.

"Okay." Dong Xiaokui replied, just shocked in place. It turned out that it was his birthday. He must have wanted to spend his birthday with him, but he forgot about this day that everyone emphasized.

"Then I'll go, I'll pick you up tomorrow and go to the airport together." Xu Shuting looked at the sky and walked forward quickly.

"Hmm." Dong Xiaokui replied, watching Xu Shuting walk towards the black car parked in front of him, and his heart suddenly relaxed.

She walked slowly home, as if she felt that she had unloaded a big stone in her heart, and even her steps became brisk. In a particularly good mood, looking at the last bit of Caixia left in Xitian, she couldn't help humming "Whenever Changes", and when she got home, even Dong Xiaohuai was surprised, and her mother was even more surprised, because she knew that someone was coming to her, so she forced her to ask her what was going on.

She said a few words, only saying that a benefactor who had helped her a lot in the capital was injured, and she wanted to go and see it. Mom just frowned, and finally just said, "You make your own decisions." However, for women, unless that person can really accompany you, you can't easily fold yourself. Because women are too casual, they are not easy to be happy. ”

"Mom, don't worry. Your daughter has always been measured. She hugged her mother.

At night, tidying up my clothes, imagining what clothes to wear, and later I didn't want to play games, just watching the moon on the balcony, thinking of what Xu Shuting said, there was a sadness, a sweetness.

(Haha, look at Xu Ershao's reaction, hum) ......
