Chapter 029: Concern
"Do you have to laugh so far-fetched?"
During the meal, Fu Shaoyan said such a sentence coldly, so that Qin Chengxi didn't understand what it meant, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and raised his head to look at him: "Are you saying that my smile is ugly?" β
Fu Shaoyan shook his head: "It's not ugly, it's far-fetched." Would love to see your smile from the heart. β
"I'm sorry," Qin Chengxi's smile became more and more unnatural as he explained, "There have been too many things that have happened recently, which makes me a little uncomfortable, and I always have a feeling that I can't laugh." β
"Let the past pass, and live forward. As long as you put your mind to it, tomorrow will definitely be better than today, you know? β
"Hmm." Qin Chengxi nodded seriously, suddenly thought of something, and became cramped again for a while.
Fu Shaoyan saw through her mind and smiled: "Don't think too much, it's just a casual meal with friends." Thank you. β
Qin Chengxi was puzzled: "What are you thanking me for?" β
Fu Shaoyan also put down the knife and fork in his hand, and his face became a little solemn: "My parents are not in Ancheng, although I am comfortable living alone, sometimes I am quite lonely. Especially when I come home from work, I always feel that it is not home, just a hotel for a night rest. So it's rare that you're willing to invite me to this meal today, shouldn't I say thank you? β
"I often feel this way when I'm alone abroad." Qin Chengxi expressed her understanding, and her mind involuntarily flashed through the scene when she and Shangqi came home from work together, and her heart was filled with bitterness for a while.
If it weren't for the embarrassment of the Shang family's parents, she wouldn't have left Shang Qi, and at this point in time, she and Shang Qi should have dinner before the meal.
Unfortunately, there is no going back.
"Maybe it's time to change the status quo of life." Fu Shaoyan raised the wine glass in his hand, "Let's start today." β
The simple-minded Qin Chengxi didn't understand what he meant, so he just politely took a sip of red wine from his wine glass.
"You invited me to dinner, I don't want to go, why don't I invite you to a movie? It just so happens that I haven't watched a movie in a long time, and I've heard that there are a lot of good movies released recently. When he was about to finish eating, Fu Shaoyan said.
Seeing that it was still early, Qin Chengxi did not object, the two chose a light-hearted and witty comedy, and spent two hours in happiness, after watching the movie, Fu Shaoyan did not drive, and led her to the overpass to enjoy the neon night scene, and look down on the glitz of the world.
Although his mood has improved a lot, Qin Chengxi still can't help but think about Shang Qi in his heart, thinking that the person around him is Shang Qi, how beautiful it should be.
Because of this loss, Qin Chengxi, who didn't talk much, talked even less for a while.
Fu Shaoyan took the trouble to find various topics to chat with her, until the night wind blew and Qin Chengxi felt a little cold, so he sent her home.
"Whispers? Have fun today? β
"Big brother and sister-in-law? Why haven't you slept yet? β
When I entered the house, I saw Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu sitting in the living room, Qin Chengxi was a little apprehensive for a while, and only said that they would blame her for going home so late, and hurriedly explained, "Originally, I wanted to come back early, but I couldn't help but chat with Mr. Fu a little more." β
"What do you think of him?" Mu asked.
"People are nice."
"Oh? What's a good way? Qin Jinhuan asked rhetorically.
"Well, handsome, gentlemanly and humorous, in short, it's very comfortable to watch." Qin Chengxi was telling the truth.
"Good!" Qin Jinhuan smiled for a while, "So, have you decided?" β
Qin Chengxi heard what his brother and sister-in-law meant, and suddenly there was a black line: "Brother, sister-in-law, what are you talking about?" I invited Mr. Fu to dinner today just to express my gratitude to him for sending me to the hospital that day, and he felt sorry for it, so he invited me to watch a movie again, it's as simple as that, we don't mean anything else. β
"Fu Shaoyan's character is not bad, he and his parents are still very enlightened, I think it is very suitable for you, and I will have the opportunity to have more contact with him in the future."
"Brother! I don't want to talk about feelings right now. Qin Chengxi's expression was gloomy.
"Shang Qi's kid won't bring you happiness, you should seek happiness for yourself. Believe in my brother's vision, Fu Shaoyan is a good person. β
"Of course I believe my brother's vision, it's just a matter of feelings...... Brother, I know that you are for my good, but I really can't let go of Shang Qi for a while. β
Seeing that Qin Chengxi's eyes were red, Mu Yu hurriedly secretly pulled Qin Jinhuan, and interjected: "Take your time, take your time, give Xiaoxi a little time." β
"Thank you sister-in-law for your understanding. Brother, sister-in-law, I'll go back to the room first. β
After Qin Chengxi finished speaking, he quickly went upstairs and went back to the room.
After locking the door, she leaned against the back of the door and wept.
Although it has been so many days, she still doesn't believe that she and Shangqi have broken up.
Sometimes she will look through the phone text messages or micro X chat history, and the sweet situation between the two will immediately come to mind.
Only by seeing the screen showing that it was his interaction with her many days ago would he throw her back to reality, stunned.
Sure enough, falling out of love is the most painful thing.
When Qin Chengxi was uncomfortable, Shang Qi was actually not much better.
When he came home from work alone, he stood in the entrance in a daze.
There are still slippers worn by Qin Chengxi in the shoe cabinet, and there are still her clothes in his closet.
The food on the table was still cooked to her taste.
Although the food was delicious, he had difficulty swallowing it.
After only a few bites, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and went straight back to the bedroom.
The night reflected the white moonlight outside the window, which was extremely soft, but he tossed and turned in such a beautiful moonlight, and he couldn't sleep for a long time.
Obviously the bed is warm, obviously tired today, but he just can't sleep.
The room is still the room where she lived, the bed is still the bed she slept in, the doll she likes is still placed at the head of the bed, and the photo she takes with him is also smiling at him, in this room full of her breath, he really can't sleep.
Holding the pillow she had slept on in his arms, his heart calmed down a little.
It wasn't until the middle of the night, when he muttered her name, that he fell asleep.
There was a fog in front of me.
He and Qin Chengxi were shopping, and a car suddenly came out from the opposite side, breaking them apart, and he reached out to pull the people who were close at hand, not wanting to be left behind.
When he turned back and saw that she was no longer around, he was terrified for a moment and frantically searched for her in the streets and alleys.
However, she seemed to have disappeared, letting him scream and break his throat, letting him step on his iron shoes, and there was no news.
"Squeakβ"
"Helpβ"
In Qin Chengxi's scream, Shang Qi sat up suddenly.
He habitually reached out to touch the quilt beside him, and found that it was empty, and suddenly his heart was so empty that he was suffocated.
It turned out that his person, his heart, had already followed her to the Qin family.
He suddenly got up and walked into the bathroom, washing away the cold sweat from his dream with cold water.
He really wanted to call her, but he clicked on the address book several times, and finally put it down.
"How long will such a day end?"
He yelled at the mirror.
The mirror ignored him.
In the end, he was left with helplessness.
I didn't sleep well all night.
When he woke up the next day, his dark circles deepened again.
After eating some breakfast indiscriminately, he came to the office and saw that there was still the desk in the corner where Qin Chengxi used to sit at work, he felt that it was very eye-catching, and asked the secretary to move out.
Half an hour later.
Poking his head out of the pile of papers, he called the secretary in and asked, "What about the desk?" β
The secretary's eyes widened and he explained, "I moved away as you ordered." β
"When have I ever said such a thing? Move back to me right away! Shang Qi was furious, "If you dare to make any more decisions to disturb the furnishings of my office in the future, you will roll me up and leave." β
The secretary twitched his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly asked someone to move the table back.
This time, she learned to be obedient, and when dealing with the details on the table, she carefully restored it to the appearance of Qin Chengxi when she was there.
Shang Qi was satisfied.
After the secretary went out, he put down the pen in his hand and stared at the table for a long time.
After this incident, everyone in Xinxin Media Company knew about Shang Qi's loss of love, and they were walking on thin ice one by one, for fear that they would accidentally annoy the boss and be fired.
*
For several days in a row, Fu Shaoyan came to the Qin family to find Qin Chengxi, of course, for various reasons.
Just because these reasons are very sufficient, Qin Chengxi, who doesn't know how to reject people, is not easy to refuse him.
However, Fu Shaoyan is really humorous, and he can always make her laugh quietly, which also makes her have a good impression of him.
Not only her, but even Bang Wan likes this uncle with a lot of tricks, always pestering him to show her tricks, or let him do small crafts for her.
On weekdays, Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan were very busy, and Bang Bang was originally for the maid, but since Qin Chengxi returned to Qin's house, Bang Bang stuck to her.
At first, because her injuries were not healed, there were servants to take care of Bang Bang every time, and then her injuries slowly healed, and Bang Bang refused to ask the maid to take it.
Although she can't have children, Qin Chengxi really likes children, and she doesn't feel annoyed at all about what Bang Bang wants her to do, on the contrary, she enjoys it.
Sometimes Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan got off work, and when they saw that Bang Bang didn't come over to ask for a hug, they were both a little jealous, and laughed and teased Bang Bang several times that they had an aunt and forgot their parents.
And since Fu Shaoyan came, he quickly attracted Bang Wan's attention away, as long as he came to Qin's house, Bang Bang would shout "Brother Xiao (Shao) Yan" to welcome him.
Seeing that Qin Chengxi also "fell out of favor", Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan sighed several times about their daughter's "liking the new and hating the old".
The weather was very good that day, Qin Chengxi was about to take Wan Wan out for a walk, but he didn't expect Fu Shaoyan to come again before he walked out of the door.
"The weather is very good today, skip a class and go out to play, do you have any time to go out together?" Fu Shaoyan didn't enter the courtyard either, just watched Bang Wan at the door and deliberately shouted loudly.
The first one raised his chubby little hand: "Brother Xiao (Shao) Yan takes the baby to play." β
"Then do you listen to your brother?"
"Obedient! The baby is the most obedient! Bang Wan broke away from Qin Chengxi's hand and ran towards Fu Shaoyan.
"Okay, you chameleon, you just said you were going out with me." Qin Chengxi followed with a smile and got into Fu Shaoyan's car together.
The two took Bang Wan to a nearby small amusement park, and played until noon, and then found a nearby restaurant to prepare a meal.
"Wow, how can this little girl be so good-looking? It's better than the baby in the picture. β
"Parents are so good-looking, can the baby not look good?"
Hearing the discussion at the adjacent table, Qin Chengxi subconsciously turned her head, only to find that they were talking about Bang Bang, and when she realized that the good-looking "parents" in their mouths were her and Fu Shaoyan, she was suddenly embarrassed, and wanted to explain, but Fu Shaoyan turned her head back with his hand.
"People don't know us, so there's no need to explain." He leaned into her ear and whispered.
"But ......"
She habitually turned her head to explain to him, but she didn't expect him to get so close to her, and her lips almost touched his, and she was immediately embarrassed.
"But what?" He looked at her with a smile on his face.
"I think ......"
Before she could finish speaking, her face was suddenly bloodied as she saw a familiar face in the crowd, with eyes staring straight at her.
