Chapter Ninety-Eight, Between Trade-offs.
"Roger." Huang Yuchen made an OK gesture.
There is a lot of information at night, Huang Yuchen is secretly happy in his heart, looking at the rearview mirror in the car, Yan Xi is wearing a polka dot high-waisted cake skirt and a spliced lace ruffle collar, gentle and sweet, even if she is listless now and has no makeup, she looks like a delicate white porcelain doll.
"Yan Xi, where are you going?" Jiang Li was worried.
"Don't worry, I'm going home too." Yan Xi quietly looked at the fleeting light and shadow outside the window.
When you go home, you naturally want to go home.
After a turn to Xijie, under the command of Jiang Li, Huang Yuchen parked the car on the side of the road.
Jiang Li opened the car door, took a step forward, and turned his head to look at Yan Xi, "You want to send me a message when you get home." β
"Okay." Yan Xi nodded.
In Jiang Li's memory, Yan Xi had never seen an awkward relationship with Ling Xingyu, Ling Xingyu held her in the palm of his hand, and never angered her, I don't know what is going on today.
Jiang Li stood in place and watched the car disappear around the corner, sighed, and turned around and walked into the corridor.
After Jiang Li got out of the car, Yan Xi opened the car window, put his hand on the window, supported his chin, and kept looking out the window.
"How about we go to dinner?" Huang Yuchen asked, "Do you want to eat Chinese, Western, French, or Japanese food?" β
Yan Xi blinked his eyes, as if he hadn't heard it.
Huang Yuchen smiled: "Why don't we eat Chinese food!" It's been a long time since I've eaten proper Chinese food. β
"No, please send me home, Orchid Park Splendid Garden." Yan Xi pinched his eyebrows, exhausted.
"I haven't eaten since I got off the plane, are you sure you won't eat with me?"
Yan Xi thought for a while, opened his handbag, and took out a pineapple-flavored sandwich toast from it, which Ling Xingyu prepared for her because he was afraid that she would be hungry.
"Eat bread?" Yan Xi opened the bag, and without waiting for him to answer, his hand stretched forward and sent it to him, "You pad your belly." β
Huang Yuchen hooked the corners of his mouth, looked in the rearview mirror, and ate the bread that Yan Xi sent to his mouth one bite at a time on the grounds that he couldn't take anything while driving.
Orchid Garden, Splendid Garden.
"Thank you for the evening." Yan Xi carried his bag in one hand and opened the car door with the other.
"Tidal Tide." Huang Yuchen stopped her, "Aren't you going to invite me to your house to sit?" β
"No, you go to dinner! Good bye. Yan Xi waved at him and walked into the community without looking back.
Huang Yuchen looked at her back, hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled, "It's still so ruthless!" β
Yan Xi stood in front of her door, entered the password, the door opened, she pushed the door in, took off her shoes, and turned on all the lights in the house.
I haven't come back for a long time to live, Yan Xi turned on the central air conditioner in the hall, reached out and touched the dust on the coffee table.
She went back to her room and changed into a loose nightgown.
Picked up the broom and began to sweep the floor, three bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, two bathrooms and a balcony, swept inside and out, and mopped again.
Sweat flowed down her cheeks and into her neck, and the chest of her pajamas was wet, Yan Xi walked into the bathroom, rinsed her face with cold water, added half a bucket of water to the plastic bucket, threw a rag into it, and wiped the leather sofa, coffee table, TV cabinet, dining table, and chairs all over again.
In the end, she collapsed on the ground, Yan Xi lay on the ground, her chest rose and fell, she stared at the bright crystal lamp on the ceiling, her mind was blank, this feeling, it was really good.
The family photos hanging on the wall are smiling one by one, and she can remember the scene when each family photo was taken.
She loves her father, loves their family, and loves everyone in the big family of Jufulou, and the love affair is insignificant compared to the family affection, not to mention the love affair that is not honest and not blessed by the elders.
Yan Xi can imagine that if she mentions to her mother that she wants to marry into a wealthy family, her mother will definitely cry and dissuade her, the wealthy family is as deep as the sea, and she can't fight.
Between the trade-offs is life.
In the middle of the night, Yan Xi got up from the ground, walked into the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into clean pajamas.
Yan Xi entered her room, made the bedspread, she took out the pillow from the cabinet, lay on the bed with the pillow, closed her eyes and tossed and turned.
'Let's open a bottle of red wine and drink it!' Thinking like this, Yan Xi turned over and got out of bed, took a bottle of wine on the wine cabinet in the hall, took out a crystal goblet from the kitchen cabinet, and walked into the room.
Sitting on the bay window, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, the loneliness invaded, Yan Xi raised her glass and took a big sip, the wine that didn't wake up, the taste was astringent, she couldn't care so much, she raised her head and drank it all.
After a few glasses in a row, her body began to heat up, Yan Xi burped, the empty wine bottle was lying at her feet, she kicked lightly with her foot, the wine bottle rolled several times, and hit the corner of the table and stopped.
Yan Xi walked to the head of the bed, opened the bag and took out the mobile phone, turned off the airplane mode, the mobile phone kept vibrating, and the message prompts, one after another, rang non-stop.
After a long while, the phone finally stopped ringing, and Yan Xi opened the message, all of which were Ling Xingyu's missed call reminders, as well as Jiang Li and Huang Yuchen's WeChat messages.
As soon as he clicked on WeChat, Ling Xingyu's phone came in.
Yan Xi stared at the phone screen in a daze, did not answer or hang up, until the phone was automatically closed.
Yan Xi clicked on Jiang Li's chat box.
At 7:30, Jiang Li: 'Yan Xi, are you home?' β
At 8:45, Jiang Li: 'Are you home?' Send me a message. β
At 10:13, Jiang Li: 'Yan Xi, where are you?' Ling Xingyu called me several times, he was already looking for you outside, I feel like he was about to cry, what happened? If you don't want to go home, come to my house! Where are you? β
At 10:30, Jiang Li: 'Yan Xi, what's the matter with you? Just say something, hiding it is not your usual style! I'm worried about you like this. β
She doesn't want to do that, either! Yan Xi's heart ached.
The mobile phone rang, the stars were displayed on the screen, Yan Xi hung up, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank the last glass of wine.
She clicked on Huang Yuchen's chat box.
Ling Xingyu's call came in again, and Yan Xi pressed to answer.
"What are you doing~" alienated and unfamiliar.
"Baby, where are you? What happened? Where you are, I'll pick you up. Ling Xingyu's voice trembled with eagerness on the other end of the phone.
"It's none of your business where I am, and besides, I'm dead, don't look for me anymore." Yan Xi hung up the call ruthlessly.
On the screen is Huang Yuchen's chat box.
At 7:40, Huang Yuchen photographed Zhang's sumptuous dinner.
At 8:50, Huang Yuchen: "Xixi, I brought you a gift, I left in a hurry at night and forgot to bring it, I will send it to you now." β
At 9:12, Huang Yuchen: 'Xixi, I'm here, come down and get it, if you don't come, I won't leave.' β
At 9:50, Huang Yuchen: 'I'm going to knock on the door from house to house. β
At 10:25, Huang Yuchen: 'You ruthless woman. β
At 10:26, Huang Yuchen: "It's okay, I haven't reversed the jet lag, I can wait until dawn." β
Yan Xi walked to the balcony and found that Huang Yuchen's car was parked at the same location where she stopped when she was sent back at night.
Ling Xingyu's call came again, and Yan Xi answered it.
"Baby, have you been drinking? Where are you? I'm out there right now, I'm going to pick you up......"
Yan Xi didn't speak, nor did she listen to Ling Xingyu, the hand holding the mobile phone hung down by her side, she was barefoot, the soles of her feet were a little fluttering, she walked back to the room to change her clothes, picked up her bag, picked up the mobile phone on the bed, and said, "I'm in my house, at the entrance of the community." β
At the entrance of the community, Yan Xishen walked to Huang Yuchen's car with one shallow foot and knocked on the window.
"You ruthless woman, finally reluctant?" Huang Yuchen opened the car door, walked up to her, and asked while playing mobile games, "Have you drunk?" β
Yan Xi nodded.
"Get in the car and sit." Huang Yuchen put away his phone and helped her open the car door.
"No, I'll wait for someone." Yan Xi shook his head.
"Who are you waiting for so late?" Huang Yuchen thought to himself: Could it be that they reconciled so quickly?
Yan Xi didn't speak.
Huang Yuchen took out a Chanel-branded paper bag from the passenger seat, "Xixi, I'm back this time and I've brought you a few small gifts, you should like it." β
"I don't like it."
"You didn't even look at it, how do you know you don't like it?" Huang Yuchen opened the paper bag and sent it to her.
Yan Xi glanced at it, good guy, not only Chanel, but several brands of perfumes are in it.
"Do you like it?" Huang Yuchen curled the corners of his lips.
Yan Xi saw Ling Xingyu's car driving past from the opposite road.
"I like it." She quickly took the bag in Huang Yuchen's hand, "You get in the car quickly." She pulled Huang Yuchen to the driver's door.
From a distance, I saw Ling Xingyu's car approaching this side behind me.
Yan Xi suddenly reached out and climbed Huang Yuchen's neck, an extremely ambiguous movement.
Huang Yuchen was overjoyed, thinking that she liked the perfume she sent, and felt that she had found a breakthrough, and her smile was extremely bright.
"Don't talk, get in the car, step on the accelerator all the way, immediately, right away." Yan Xi helped him open the car door and urged: "Don't rub it off, hurry up." β
"Xixi ......" Huang Yuchen was puzzled.
"Go, immediately, ...... immediately"
"Good..."
Huang Yuchen was first overjoyed and then surprised, in order not to anger Yan Xi and not to destroy this rare favorability, Huang Yuchen obediently got into the car and stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.
Yan Xi walked back to the side of the road, Ling Xingyu's car also stopped beside her, Ling Xingyu saw the scene just now clearly, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and quickly got out of the car and ran to Yan Xi's side.
Ling Xingyu put his arm around her shoulder, "Baby, let's get in the car first." "Open the car door, let her sit in, and help her fasten her seatbelt.
Yan Xi's family and the small home of the two of them were 5 minutes away, and no one spoke along the way.
Ling Xingyu helped her back home, Yan Xi took off her shoes and walked into the bedroom, the air conditioner in the bedroom was always on, it was cold and comfortable, Yan Xi sat on the bed and poured out the perfume in the paper bag.
Chanel, Dior, LancΓ΄me, Bulgari, Gucci, good guys, I have to say that Yan Xi really likes it.
