(forty-six)

Liu Zhixi sat at the desk, looking at Xin Chenxi's cold face, feeling incredible, her shaking hands proved that she didn't want to and couldn't believe it, this is a fact. She looked at it one by one, the hospital's test sheets and diagnosis sheets, white and black, eye-catching and abrupt, clear and ruthless.

"Advanced liver cancer", the four words, like a rope, strangled Liu Zhixi's neck, making her unable to sob, and her chest hurt terribly. "When did this happen?" Liu Zhixi tried to maintain a normal tone, trying not to let herself fall into the viciousness of human nature again. "It was when Deng Qiang was killed, a month ago." Xin Chenxi said slowly, "I asked Hong Tao's parents, and they said that two weeks before Hong Tao's accident, he gave them 200,000 yuan, saying that he earned it by working part-time. ”

"So, what do you think? No way! Liu Zhixi blurted out, but no matter what, she was unwilling to accept this fact. Liu Zhixi, do you think there is a more reasonable explanation? "What do you mean, do you mean that Senior Fu knew that he was powerless to return to heaven, and was bought by Yao Yao and killed Deng Qiang for the sake of his parents' pension?" "You've done all the arguments and analyses yourself, do you need me to reiterate?" Xin Chenxi looked at her expressionlessly.

Xin Chenxi glanced at the watch in his hand, got up and prepared to leave. "Brother, don't go, okay?" Liu Zhixi cried and begged humbly. "I'm not your brother, your mother destroyed my family and pissed my mother to death. My dad gave you a bank card, and it was my mother's life-saving money. My mom is gone, aren't you particularly happy? This way, you have a lot of spare money! ”

"Senior Xin, the money in the card, I'm useless. Yes, my mother is a disgraceful junior, and I am an illegitimate daughter who is spurned. However, I am not someone who can be bullied at will, I am not someone who can splash dirty water without recklessness, I am upright and innocent, and there is nothing that cannot be exposed to the sun. I call you brother because I remember what my aunt said before, I am the Xin family. Whether you treat me as a sister or not, I treat you as a brother, not because we are related by blood, but because I really respect and love my aunt. ”

Liu Zhixi took out the bank card from her bag, put it on the table, and then didn't look back, and left quickly, Xin Chenxi stood behind her, looking at her back, with a little more warmth.

The gloomy sky and black clouds heralded a violent storm, and Liu Zhixi rode her bicycle on the road, passing a quagmire, splashing water staining the hem of her white skirt. She didn't know where she was going, because although the world was big, there was no place for her to stay, and life was like a long train, but there was no platform for her to stop.

The torrential rain hit her head wildly, Liu Zhixi frantically pedaled the bicycle forward, but suddenly stopped, the chain of the bicycle fell off, she got off the bike to repair, but the chain could not be hung up again. The pedestrians on the road hurried by, avoiding it, but she stood alone in the rain with her hair scattered, tears mixed with the rain flowing into her mouth, she cried and laughed uncontrollably, for the first time in her life, she was so free and easy, not caring about the eyes of others.

The rain curtain was suddenly cut off, Jiang Xiaohan gently hugged Liu Zhixi from behind, a kind of warmth, from Liu Zhixi's body to her heart ventricles, she smelled the faint smell of men's perfume on his body, for a moment, she was immersed in it, wanting to never wake up again. But reason and consciousness still made her withdraw from Jiang Xiaohan's embrace.

This is the second time she refused, the arms of a man who admires her, the first time it was Lei Yu, and now it is Jiang Xiaohan. They are all excellent, golden, handsome and handsome, but none of them are him, the figure deeply embedded in Liu Zhixi's heart, even if he breaks her heart and makes her cry, but no one can replace him.

Just like Su Qian once took her and Su Huai to eat pufferfish, puffer fish is poisonous, but the delicious feeling is incomparable to other aquatic animals.

Sitting in Jiang Xiaohan's clean and bright apartment, Liu Zhixi was wiping her hair with a soft towel, Jiang Xiaohan was worried that she would catch a cold, and was busy preparing brown sugar ginger tea for her. Jiang Xiaohan was busy in the kitchen, his mobile phone resting on the coffee table, and Liu Zhixi was blowing his hair with a hair dryer, making a lot of noise.

His mobile phone rang suddenly, and Liu Zhixi glanced at it, but saw an extremely familiar avatar flashing. "Ginger tea is ready", Jiang Xiaohan brought the hot drink to Liu Zhixi, and then swiped his mobile phone, and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes, "My mobile phone rang just now?" "I didn't pay attention, I've been blowing my hair", Liu Zhixi coveted the warmth brought to her by ginger tea, and after a bowl of belly, she really felt warm and comfortable all over her body.

"Zhixi, why do you want to do this to yourself? I don't run when it's raining heavily, I'm really worried about you when I'm stupid in the rain", Jiang Xiaohan asked with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. "Xiao Han, the feeling of being drenched in the rain is so refreshing, although the rain is very cold, but my heart is even colder, maybe it's like the body pain needs to rely on external forces to relieve it, the cold rain can soothe my heartache, fight poison with poison, and get positive with negative burden", Liu Zhixi turned her head, like a wounded little beast, her eyes flashed with tears.

The sun was shining, and the acquaintances on the side of the road were tirelessly noisy, Liu Zhixi was dressed casually, wearing a sunhat and sunglasses, and took the elevator from the I SHOW training center to the first floor. She walked to the commercial plaza, the scorching sun scorched the earth, and the greenery on both sides of the road was more vibrant and rejuvenated. She pushed open the door of the café, and it was instantly cool, like a steel-making stove outside, but inside it was a cool Eskimo igloo.

Liu Zhixi walked straight to the window and sat down, in front of her, there was still a beautiful and elegant Wenli. "Mom", although the word was so difficult for her to pour out at the moment, it made her feel so strange and uncomfortable, she still whispered to Wenli. She quietly looked at Wenli with her spare eyes, although she was already a woman in her forties, Wenli still had a long charm, and there was no trace of aging between her eyebrows and eyes.

"Zhixi", Wen used a small spoon to stir the coffee, "Wanchen", Wen Li suddenly changed his words, "You are fair, mother and your Uncle Su, treat you well, you have a lot of pocket money every month, more than enough to meet daily expenses, what you eat, wear, and use are all brand goods." Now that Mom and Uncle Su are in trouble in their business and need the help and care of the minefield chief, only you can save our family. Are you just so indifferent? ”

"Mom, the money I owe you, I will repay you twice as much through my own efforts. But when it comes to indebtedness, how much can you justify? You acted as a third party, ruined other people's families, and made up lies to fool me and deliberately discarded me. In this world, it is best to compensate for owing people money, but the feelings owed can never be fully recovered. You know, after my adoptive parents passed away, I missed you too, and I always hoped that one day a miracle would happen, and you and Dad would hold my hand and take me home! However, all my wishes are utopian, and I can sit here now, talk to you, and call you Mommy, all in exchange for my grandmother's life! Liu Zhixi's voice was not high-pitched, and her tone was very gentle, but every sentence was like an embroidery needle falling to the ground, stinging Wenli's nerves.

Wenli's face, angry and red from rejection, lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, wiping the corners of her eyes with a tissue. Liu Zhixi looked at her, pain and pleasure, distress and indignation, stirring in her heart, and the heart, the mixer, was already overloaded, and if it continued to rotate, it would be unbearable. "Wanchen, Lei Yu is really a very good boy, tall and handsome, talented, and with a good background, the key is that he really likes you." "Really?" Liu Zhixi stroked the broken hair next to her ear, revealing a meaningful smile.

Liu Zhixi sat in the bubble tea shop, and Jiang Xiaohan specially made a cup of poplar nectar for her. She walked to the side of the bakery to find the mango mille-feuille, but was told by the clerk that it was sold out. She came back a little sullenly, Jiang Xiaohan saw that she was not in a good mood, and thoughtfully made her a mango ice. Liu Zhixi exclaimed happily: "You also sell mango ice here?" Jiang Xiaohan's smile was like the sunshine at the moment, affectionate and hot, "I know you love to eat mangoes, so we have launched a variety of mango-flavored desserts in our store, and you are welcome to come and taste them at any time." ”

"Thanks, it looks like I'll have to work harder, otherwise I won't be able to afford it." Liu Zhixi said happily while tasting the silky ice. "Alas, you girl, if you come to me, it must be free." Jiang Xiaohan's gaze, like a deep night, wrapped Liu Zhixi layer by layer.

"That's not good, it's useless", Liu Zhixi shook her head, and then half-jokingly walked up to him and stood up straight, "Sir, do you still need a waiter here?" Jiang Xiaohan was amused by her, "How can you also learn the scenes in the TV series?" I remember the original sentence saying: "Sir, do you need a nurse here?" ”

"Yes. Have you watched that TV series too? It was a TV series a long time ago, and it seemed to tell the story of a Chinese nurse who went to Belgium during World War II. I don't remember the exact plot, but it was probably the nurse who decided to return to China, changed her mind and stayed, standing at the door of the doctor's house that she loved so much. Liu Zhixi was in her mind, trying to replay the scenes in the TV series.

"I longed for the day when I could meet a girl, when she insisted on leaving me, I was heartbroken and let her go, but because of love, she resolutely stayed, even though the mountains and rivers were broken and the world collapsed, we still clinged to each other tightly." Jiang Xiaohan's gaze fell on the bright floor and said lightly. "Yes, there will be that day", Liu Zhixi smiled in her eyes, "But that girl will never be me, and it should never be me", Liu Zhixi said silently in her heart, "Because, I am the daughter of the junior." ”

"This, take a look, the information you want me to find, as well as the photos collected, are all here." Jiang Xiaohan took out a paper leather bag from the cabinet and handed it to Liu Zhixi. She caught it gently, the bag was not heavy, but she felt that her heart was being pulled and falling by a large stone weighing a thousand pounds.
