Chapter 139: Healing
The two of them made dinner tacitly, although the dishes were a little mushy and the porridge was a little thick, but compared with Leng Qingxi's previous expectations, it was much better.
It's just that they didn't realize how unusual the tacit cooperation between the two people was in the eyes of outsiders.
When they walked out of the kitchen with the food and saw Xiao Li sitting on the sofa, they remembered her existence.
Leng Qingxi smiled a little embarrassedly: "Look, I've been so busy with my patronage that I forgot that you're still here." ”
Xiao Li smiled a little unnaturally: "It's nothing, Sister Qingxi, you don't have to care about me, I don't think of myself as an outsider." ”
"Well, it's good if you can think like this, you can treat me as your home, and live as long as you want." Leng Qingxi patted Xiao Li's shoulder enthusiastically.
But Xiao Li's face became more and more ugly, and Leng Qingxi was busy greeting the food and didn't notice this. After the meal was served, the three of them sat around the table.
With Leng Qingxi's guidance, Bai Shunan's cooking was not so difficult to swallow.
It's just that for Leng Qingxi, who has a bruised palm, it is a little difficult to eat with vegetables, and several times, seeing that the dishes are about to fall on the table, Bai Shunan gently took it and put it in her bowl.
Leng Qingxi smiled a little shyly at him, he was really embarrassed.
However, Bai Shunan didn't care at all, Xiao Li seemed to be a little absent-minded during the banquet, Leng Qingxi talked to her, and she also agreed, and kept fiddling with the mobile phone in her hand.
Leng Qingxi thought that she must still be annoyed by the quarrel with her parents, so she didn't take it to heart. After dinner, Xiao Li and Leng Qingxi packed up the dishes and chopsticks, Bai Shunan was a little relieved to see that someone was accompanying Leng Qingxi, so he got up and said goodbye, and sent Bai Shunan out of the house, Leng Qingxi breathed a long sigh of relief.
Looking back at Xiao Li, who was still sitting on the sofa looking at her phone in a daze, Leng Qingxi felt the need to have a good talk with her.
Who knew that she had just sat down beside her, Xiao Li was like an electric shock, and jumped away, although she didn't know what happened to Xiao Li, but this reaction made Leng Qingxi startled.
Xiao Li may also realize that her reaction was too aggressive, and she smiled a little weakly and said to Leng Qingxi: "Sister Qingxi, why did you lean over quietly, which scared me." ”
Leng Qingxi didn't refute, but just asked, "What happened?" You were absent-minded all night, and now that Mr. Bai is gone, you should tell me. ”
Xiao Li squirmed her lips a few times, as if she was hesitating about something, but finally she smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a quarrel with my parents, you know, they are old and always want to control me." ”
Leng Qingxi didn't delve into it, but asked casually, "Uncle and aunt are okay." ”
"They're fine." Xiao Li replied with a strange smile on his face.
"Well, it's not too early, I want to wash up and rest." Leng Qingxi stretched and said.
"Well, well, I'll sleep in a while." Xiao Li responded.
"Then I won't greet you, you just treat it as your own home, don't be polite." Leng Qingxi finally left a sentence, and then walked to the bathroom.
Because of the wound on his head, Leng Qingxi just simply scrubbed it, and it was over.
made the bathroom, but she found Xiao Li still sitting on the sofa, looking down and fiddling with his mobile phone.
Leng Qingxi shook her head, didn't care about her anymore, and walked straight back to her bedroom.
Lying on the comfortable and soft bed, Leng Qingxi finally relaxed her whole body, in this completely own space, she could let go of all her disguises, and she didn't have to pretend to be strong anymore.
Darkness is the easiest thing to make that person vulnerable, especially when one is alone.
Leng Qingxi was lying on the bed, although she repeatedly warned herself not to think about it again, not to touch it again, but her thinking was completely out of her control.
During the day, in front of everyone, she can disguise herself seamlessly, because she is a strong Leng Qingxi, and she doesn't want to show her vulnerability in front of outsiders, even if it's Bai Shunan, even if it's Xiao Li.
However, at this time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and sobbed quietly.
Yes, she never dared to recall everything that happened at the door of Mu's house, but that scene jumped in front of her unconsciously, which deeply stimulated her nerves.
Mu Xuncheng, Ling Fei'er, these people's faces floated in front of her eyes alternately.
And the pain brought to him by the other party, in this dark night, is like a lurking beast, coming unexpectedly. Mu Xuncheng, what did I do wrong, why did we end up like this.
Between us, this time, there is really no possibility at all, even if I have the heart to mend our relationship, but who can mend my broken heart.
In the beginning, it was wrong, it was a wrong wedding, everything that shouldn't have happened at all.
And the stupid self actually let the situation develop and let himself fall in love with an indifferent and ruthless man.
These pains are not punishments for one's own stupid behavior.
Leng Qingxi shook her head, her head began to hurt again, and the injured place also began to ache faintly, she didn't know if it was a psychological effect, or if it was really painful, at this time she was powerless to tell the difference.
She could only be swallowed by pain.
In this way, she spent a torturous night, and the night before, because she was too tired, she actually slept peacefully.
When he got up in the morning, when Xiao Li saw Leng Qingxi, he couldn't help but scream: "Oh my God, Sister Qingxi, what did you do last night?" ”
Leng Qingxi scratched his hair before he could comb it, and asked a little confusedly, "What did I do?" I didn't do anything. ”
Xiao Li looked at Leng Qingxi's dazed appearance, shook his head, stopped talking, and got up to prepare breakfast.
Leng Qingxi walked to the bathroom in a daze, turned on the faucet, and glanced up inadvertently, she was also startled, she knew why Xiao Li's reaction was so big.
In the mirror, his face is pale, his eyes are red and swollen, and he has two large dark circles under his eyes, and his whole person is like an addict.
No wonder Xiao Li's reaction was so big, it turned out that her own appearance scared her.
Leng Qingxi looked at himself in the mirror and patted his cheeks with cold water to make it look more ruddy. After packing everything up and walking out of the bathroom, Xiao Li had already prepared breakfast and sat at the table waiting for him.
Seeing Leng Qingxi coming over, she pointed to the breakfast on the table and said, "In a hurry, I made these with the things in your refrigerator, so I thought it was borrowing flowers to offer the Buddha, thank you for taking me in." ”
"It's so polite to me, I didn't eat and drink at your house at the beginning." Leng Qingxi sat down at the table and began to eat breakfast.
Xiao Li on the side was still preoccupied, eating while looking at Leng Qingxi. In the end, she still couldn't hold back and asked, "Sister Qingxi, are you really okay, just now, your face was really ugly." ”
Leng Qingxi swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his head and smiled at Xiao Li: "It's okay, I just didn't have a good rest last night, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
Xiao Li nodded worriedly and stopped asking.
After the two of them finished eating, they went downstairs together and prepared to go to the company, because it was still early, and Leng Qingxi's apartment was very close to the company, so the two of them planned to go on foot.
As soon as they walked a few steps, they heard someone honking behind them, and when they turned around, they found Bai Shunan waving to them in the car on the side of the road.
"Mr. Bai, why are you here?" Leng Qingxi asked with some surprise.
"Oh, passing by here in the morning, thinking of stopping by the way, I'll give you a ride." Bai Shunan said lightly, in fact, he has been waiting here for a long time.
Leng Qingxi and Xiao Li glanced at each other, and got into Bai Shunan's car, Leng Qingxi sat on the left side of the co-pilot, the injury on her hand was not healed, and it was very laborious to fasten the seat belt, Bai Shunan couldn't see it from the side, so he leaned down to help her tie it.
Leng Qingxi raised her hands and made a surrender gesture, Bai Shunan lowered her head and carefully fastened her seat belt, this picture is very ambiguous in the eyes of outsiders.
After doing all this, Leng Qingxi realized that Xiao Li was still sitting in the back seat, and when Bai Shunan leaned over just now, she was stunned, and let him fasten his seat belt, and then he thought that there was someone in the back seat, Leng Qingxi's face turned red all of a sudden.
She turned her head and wanted to explain, she thought she would meet Xiao Li's playful gaze, but who knew that she was staring at herself quite nervously, biting her lip tightly.
It seems that this girl's misunderstanding is very deep, but in front of Bai Shunan, she couldn't explain anything, so she had to sigh, turned around, and the three of them came to the company in this embarrassing atmosphere.
Leng Qingxi, who was devoted to work, quickly forgot the morning episode, and even Mu Xuncheng was left behind by her.
Leng Qingxi forgot about Mu Xuncheng, but Mu Xuncheng was thinking about her at this time.
Mu Xuncheng sat in the office, and in the eyes of outsiders, Mr. Mu was sitting there as if he was settled, thinking about some company's plans.
And only Mu Xuncheng himself knows that what he is thinking about at this time is a woman, a woman that he should not think of at all.
However, her face always appeared in her mind. The expression of grief and indignation, the expression of helplessness, the expression of despair, and the expression of pleading.
Does she really have something to say to herself? Mu Xuncheng's heart moved, she said that she liked herself, and how much truth she had.
All day, Mu Xuncheng locked himself in his office.
After getting off work in the evening, he went to get drunk like venting, and when he returned to Mu's house, it was already past eleven o'clock.
Naturally, someone was waiting for him, and that was Ling Fei'er.
Ling Fei'er sat on the sofa, and when she saw the drunken Mu Xuncheng, she hurriedly greeted her: "Brother Xuncheng, why did you drink so much?" ”
Mu Xuncheng didn't answer, just pointed upstairs and motioned for her to help herself upstairs, Ling Fei'er understood and helped him to walk upstairs.
didn't take a few steps, maybe it was because she couldn't bear the weight of Mu Xuncheng, maybe she tripped over something, Ling Fei'er suddenly fell to the ground, and Mu Xuncheng's center of gravity was unstable, and she almost fell.
Ling Fei'er, who fell to the ground, did not rush to stand up, but hurriedly picked up the things that fell out of her pocket, Mu Xuncheng was a little strange, so he took a picture from her hand.
In the photo, a man and a woman are very intimate, the man is leaning over to fasten the woman's seat belt, and the woman is stretching out her hand to hug the man's posture, although it is only a silhouette, but Mu Xuncheng still recognizes the man and woman in the photo at a glance.
