Chapter 28: The Cherry Black Forest [1]

Yan Xiao went straight out of school and took a taxi to the hospital after today's class, and it was a pretense to go for a follow-up visit, and it was serious to see Huo Zexi.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Xiao thought to herself that there shouldn't be too many people on Monday, otherwise she would not be able to catch up with his time, remembering that he seemed to get off work around five o'clock.

As a result, when I arrived at the city center, there was a traffic jam, and there were neat traffic queues on the road, with a crumbling blood-red sunset on the horizon, which was simply miserable.

Yan Xiao charged the mobile phone in the morning, so far there is not much left, during the traffic jam after playing a few games of entertainment, the power is properly gone, only seven percent of the time is left, Yan Xiao gritted her teeth and closed the mobile phone and put it in the bag, afraid that others would not be able to call her.

The weather was a little stuffy back, Yan Xiao was already upset because of the traffic situation, and coupled with this broken weather, his mood was even more irritable, so he was bored and rested on his elbows along the car window and closed his eyes.

In a haze, she suddenly heard an explosive loud bang in front of her, pulling her back from the edge of sleep, and she opened her eyes suddenly...

"Doctor Huo, haven't you gotten off work yet?" The female assistant changed her clothes and was about to leave the hospital, when she passed through Clinic 102 and found Dr. Huo still inside.

Huo Zexi raised his head and smiled politely: "There is still something to deal with." ”

"So I'll go first? Bye! ”

"Goodbye."

Looking down at her watch, it was already a quarter past five, didn't she come to the hospital for a follow-up?

He took out his mobile phone and was about to call Yan Xiao, but the other end was turned off.

was about to put down the phone, but it suddenly vibrate, Huo Zexi took it and put it in his ear: "Mom? ”

"Are you alright, son?" Huo Ma's opening tone was a little flustered.

Huo Zexi was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"I just watched the news, there was a bus bombing on the side of the first ring road, not far from where you work, I am afraid that you will encounter danger on the road..."

Before Huo's mother finished speaking, he interrupted nervously: "Where is it?" ”

"The No. 23 bus that exploded seemed to be at the stop of the Science and Technology Park... Where are you now? ”

Bus No. 23...

The starting point is Yan Xiao School.

The voice on the other end of the phone gradually became unclear, Huo Zexi was blank for a moment, and then hung up the phone.

The explosion of the bus was extremely deterrent, and the picture that was originally just made in a science fiction movie suddenly appeared in front of him so realistically, Yan Xiao's first reaction was that he felt that he was dreaming, and he was stunned for a long time and moved his fingers before he realized that it was true.

The people on the whole road didn't seem to react, and after a few seconds, the car next to the bus quickly turned and wanted to get away, but it was too blocked, and it hit the car next to it, and the horn sounded everywhere for a while, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

Yan Xiao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, he forgot what he was going to do for a while, he looked at the burning car in a daze, and saw that the people inside were desperately scrambling to jump out of it, and there was still fire on his clothes...

It wasn't until the sound of the fire truck approached that Yan Xiao came back to his senses completely, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call Huo Zexi, but found that the mobile phone was out of power and automatically turned off.

The area was in such a chaotic state that the people in the cars got out of the cars one after another, and some of the cars wanted to leave quickly, and the roads that were already blocked were now completely blocked.

Yan Xiao had no choice but to get out of the car first, and then walked out of the road with a left and right turn, and walked to the other side of the street.

There were many people watching the excitement here, Yan Xiao didn't dare to look over there, and wanted to go against the current through the crowd, but he fell into the crowd and struggled.

"Can you give me a moment... I'm sorry to let me..."

Walking through the crowd all the way, Yan Xiao only felt that his ears were full of noise and he was tired.

was about to walk out of the crowd of onlookers, a hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, Yan Xiao was stunned, was pulled out of the crowd for a while, and fell into an embrace in a panic.

Is it mint or lemongrass...

The familiar taste evoked memories for a moment, Yan Xiao looked up in surprise, completely unexpected, and was directly stunned.

"Yan Xiao..."Huo Zeyi's voice was hoarse, and he restrained himself for three points.

When he first arrived, he could see the car that had exploded and caught fire at the three-way intersection in front of him from a distance, black smoke was constantly coming out of the window, the fire had been extinguished, and the injured were constantly being carried out, and there was hardly a single part of his body intact...

He didn't dare to imagine how he would deal with it if one of them was Yan Xiao, what would he do.

Fortunately, the idea did not take shape, and he caught the thin figure at a glance in the sea of people.

Even he didn't realize it, the first time he saw her, his mood was suddenly pious, as if he had found something lost, and his originally tense and panicked emotions were completely softened in an instant.

He didn't let go for a long time, and Yan Xiao realized that he didn't inadvertently fall into his arms, and the panic and fear just now became clear at this moment.

How fragile life is, the thin blood vessels that are cut off will die, the hidden heart disease will suddenly die, just sitting in a car doing nothing, who knows that the next moment the fireworks will be annihilated, and it will not even be too late to see the most important person.

Seeing the people who desperately escaped from the explosive car just now, Yan Xiao felt as if he had experienced a life and death, and he was so close to death that he found that many things couldn't wait for the next moment.

How many accidents occur every day in this city, how many people come and how many people go, I thought that no one cared about brushing shoulders with death, but after the hustle and bustle of the city, I was found and hugged tightly.

After going through the vicissitudes of life in his heart, Yan Xiao said the first sentence without warning:

"Huo Zexi, can you stay with me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she was afraid that he would refuse like the previous two times, and added: "You try, you will like me." ”

Not a question, she said affirmatively.

It seems that a century has passed, this city, this hustle and bustle has all disappeared, the sirens at the scene of the accident are still ringing, but Yan Xiao is so nervous that he can't hear any sound, and there is only silence in his ears, so quiet that his ears are ringing.

There was silence until she felt a hand gently press her head against his chest.

His voice was faint and soft in the evening when black and white divided, as if it were blown away.

But Yan Xiao heard it clearly, and the sentence was: "Then try it." ”

The tail note was warm, and Yan Xiao's heart trembled slightly.

She was afraid of hearing it wrong, and looked up at Huo Zexi in astonishment: "You agreed?" ”

He looked down at her and smiled.

How do you describe this feeling?

It's like a fairy tale that I have watched in my life, and the ending does not add up to this moment.

It was as if the whole world was hers.

She looked at him in disbelief, her eyes lit up, and suddenly she laughed again: "I won't give it back." ”

Huo Zexi chuckled lowly, the voice was so close that Yan Xiao could even feel the subtle vibration of the resonance in his chest, and she suddenly felt that she was dreaming at this moment.

Until he returned home, Yan Xiao didn't dare to tell anyone about it, lying on the bed like a corpse.

Savor his every expression, every line of dialogue.

Confirm over and over again, it's true.

Then try...

Isn't that a liking to say such things?

Huo Zexi likes her?

The more she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more chaotic she became, she covered her head with a pillow, wanted to scream, wanted to laugh uncontrollably, but in the end it was silently staged in her head.

Suddenly, she remembered something again, got up and began to rummage through her phone.

At eleven o'clock today, he had a live broadcast, which was the event of that submission.

Putting on headphones and listening to a few songs before waiting until eleven o'clock, Yan Xiao couldn't wait to open the app and wait for his voice.

It wasn't until the other end was finally connected that Yan Xiao turned off the lights in the room, his vision was dark, and his sense of hearing became sensitive.

There was silence for two seconds, and his voice rang through the headphones.

The volume of voice was turned up, and his voice seemed to be close to his ears, because it was a live broadcast, the sound was extraordinarily real, and the itch poured into his ears, and Yan Xiao had a kind of intracranial height. The relaxation of the tide.

"The first time I tried live streaming, I also received a lot of contributions from listeners, and I spent an afternoon reading and selecting, and suddenly I wanted to say thank you, thank you for all the time..."

His voice was low and hoarse, with a coffee-like mellowness, pouring calmly and gently, as if all time was gone, only in the present, and his voice in the headphones was so real that it seemed that he could see him as soon as he turned around, lying on his side.

When he read the love letter, he occasionally lowered his tone, and Yan Xiao also smiled quietly at this end.

"It's two minutes until the end time."

After reading the last one, his voice sounded faintly.

Expectedly, even if she didn't read her letter, she felt that she probably wouldn't be disappointed, at most she would have some regrets.

But in the end, she couldn't help but feel melancholy.

After a few seconds of silence, he could only hear the shallow breathing of the headphones, and his voice sounded again: "I know you're listening to me..."

Yan Xiao was stunned.

"There's a saying, I knew you'd come, so I waited.

Actually, I think the best answer is that I knew you were coming, so I never left. ”

Yan Xiao was stunned for a long time, his voice had disappeared, and there was still a lonely piano accompaniment, lingering softly in his ears.

She burst out laughing again.

She didn't know if Huo Zexi was responding to the last paragraph of her love letter, but she saw a secret and enchanting flower blooming in a corner of the night.

The next day, Huo Pingguo asked Yan Xiao to go to the ancient town in the afternoon to play, originally it was only the two of them, but a Jiajia was added halfway through, and it became a threesome.

Huo Pingguo drove, and Yan Xiao, who was originally in the co-pilot, was dragged to the back seat by Jiajia to play with him, so on the way to the ancient town, Yan Xiao and Jiajia played black and white for more than half an hour, and finally waited until Jiajia was tired of playing and fell asleep, and Yan Xiao was also so tired that he leaned on the backrest to take a nap.

"It's hard to take care of a son, and I usually don't make trouble, so I usually ignore him." Huo Pingguo glanced at Yan Xiao from the rearview mirror a few times and said with a smile.

"You're such a mother? What about mother's love? Yan Xiao smiled weakly.

Huo Pingguo laughed twice, and looked at her again: "What's the matter, tired of playing?" ”

"My brain is shaking involuntarily now, probably because of the sequelae of black and white." Yan Xiao rubbed his temples as he spoke.

Huo Pingguo couldn't stop laughing, and after laughing, he said a famous aphorism: "You have to learn to say no, you know?" ”

"I say no to your son, he is about to cry when he pouts, I can't stand it." Yan Xiao waved his hand.

"You use my brother to scare him, saying that my uncle will go back and beat him, and he will believe it."

Hearing this, Yan Xiao suddenly became interested and sat up: "Hey? What do you mean? Did Dr. Huo beat Jia Jia? ”

I usually look at him and I love Jiajia!

Huo Pingguo explained: "I didn't really beat it, you know my brother, it's scary to get cold, plus I'm fanning the flames next to me, Jiajia is afraid." ”

Yan Xiao smiled quietly, she hadn't told anyone what happened yesterday, she didn't know why, she still felt untrue, or rather, she didn't know what to say.

True joy or compassion will not be easily spoken.

But I don't know how to determine the relationship between Huo Zexi and her now, since she didn't reject her confession, is it a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship? However, he didn't take the initiative to find out...

Yan Xiao opened the window to blow a cool breeze while thinking about his thoughts.

Looking at Yan Xiao from the rearview mirror, his expression was thoughtful, and sometimes he smiled nervously, Huo Pingguo was startled: "Yan Xiao, what do you want?" ”

"I'm thinking about life." Yan Xiao perfunctory in the past, and felt that what he said was reasonable, thinking about his life's events, but also thinking about life.

Huo Pingguo pouted in disbelief: "Are you thinking about my brother?" ”

What's the word?

Are people meant to think? It's clearly for missing!

But think about it carefully, in Yan Xiao's heart at this moment, Huo Zexi is indeed a topic worth thinking about.

She didn't squeak, Huo Ping acquiesced, and said: "Don't think so much when you come out to play, be a man, the most important thing is to be happy." ”

"You like to watch McDull too?" Yan Xiao heard her words coming from McDull's quotes.

"I've seen it with my son before, and I think those pigs are much smarter than people." Huo Pingguo said, glancing at the street sign in front of him, "It's almost there!" ”

Jiajia was still sleeping soundly on the back seat, Yan Xiao bent down and touched his face, seeing that Jiajia didn't respond, he tickled him again, "Wake up, get out of the car immediately!" ”

Jiajia frowned, and couldn't help laughing again, laughing while dodging her scratching hands, and was quickly woken up by her.

Parking the car outside the ancient town, Yan Xiao led Jiajia to get out of the car, Huo Pingguo glanced at the weather, and then took out his sunglasses and put them on.

Because it is not a weekend, there are not many people in the ancient town, the weather is neither hot nor cold, the temperature is suitable, and it feels very fresh and comfortable when you walk into the old street.

Yan Xiao had been here with a friend once before, and found that there were still a lot of changes, so he asked Huo Pingguo while watching: "Why do you want to come here to play?" ”

"The air is good and clean." Huo Pingguo said as he pulled Yan Xiao into a pottery museum.

"Then why me?" Yan Xiao asked again.

Huo Pingguo has no bad friends around her, and the two of them haven't known each other for a long time.

Huo Pingguo looked at the pottery works in rows, "Because it's very comfortable with you." ”

"Do you have friends around you who are uncomfortable getting along with?"

Picking up a painted Xun, Huo Pingguo looked at it curiously, and then glanced at Yan Xiao, who was staring at her: "Yes, in fact, no matter how bad the relationship between women is, it is not much worse, but there are few people who really want you to make an appointment to play alone." ”

Yan Xiao nodded clearly, seeing that she liked the handicraft very much, and helped her ask the shopkeeper, "What is this?" ”

"It is Xun, one of the oldest wind instruments in China, and it is very easy to learn." The owner came over and introduced.

"Do you like it?" Yan Xiao asked Huo Pingguo.

"What, you're going to send me?" Huo Pingguo raised her eyebrows.

"Of course I can give it to you if you like." Yan Xiao said and asked the boss to wrap it up, Huo Pingguo did not politely refuse, and when the two of them walked out, they almost forgot about Jiajia, and the child was squatting outside to look at the lotus flowers.

Seeing them coming out, he hurriedly ran up and asked his mother for sugar gourds, bought sugar gourds for Jiajia, and then set off to prepare for dinner.

The place to eat is an attic, booked by the window, looking from the inside out, you can also see the small bridge and flowing water not far away, and the night view of the entire ancient town is in your eyes.

It will be late, and the eaves and street corners of the town are hung with red lanterns, and the colors on the river surface are beautiful, and the atmosphere of fireworks is ancient.

Yan Xiao and Huo Pingguo spent more time chatting than eating, while Jiajia was eating and drinking obediently and skillfully, and they were still chatting when they were full, so they took Yan Xiao's mobile phone to play and have fun.

After chatting, he found that it was already dark outside, Yan Xiao looked at the time and secretly screamed: "I still have classes tomorrow!" ”

Huo Pingguo originally planned to stay here for one night, but Yan Xiao was still quite nervous: "Are you so anxious? Can you go back early tomorrow in time? ”

"I don't know, why don't you go back now?" Yan Xiao was still worried in his heart.

Huo Pingguo answered, paid the money and said that he would drive back now.

"I'm sorry, I'm really in a hurry this time, I can't have a good time." Yan Xiao was a little sorry, and asked Huo Pingguo to drive her home at night so late.

Huo Pingguo shook the keychain in his hand, and smiled indifferently: "What's the matter, I was supposed to go out for a walk and play the same another day." ”

As a result, when I got to the parking place, the car was gone, and on the ground where I was originally parked, I wrote the license plate with a meter pen, and also wrote the address of the traffic team, saying that the illegal parking was towed away.

Yan Xiao: "Dare you park your car next to the scenic road?" ”

Huo Pingguo: "Then what now?" ”

It's close to the suburbs, and now it's dark, taxis are scarce, and buses are scarce.

Not to mention going home, I can't even find a good way to go to the traffic team.

"Then you wait here to see if there is a taxi, and I'll give my husband a call." Huo Pingguo said and took out his mobile phone to make a call.

As a result, within thirty seconds, Huo Pingguo hung up the phone again: "I forgot that he went to Shanghai on a business trip... But it's okay, I'll call my brother. ”

Hearing this, Yan Xiao instantly became nervous, "You, why are you calling your brother?" Pick us up so late? ”

"It's not nine o'clock yet, my brother hasn't slept, isn't there no way?" Huo Pingguo said that he had already connected the phone at hand, and picked up the mobile phone in his ear.

After explaining the cause and effect clearly, Huo Pingguo was scolded without any suspense, endured the humiliation and listened to the phone, and made an "ok" gesture to Yan Xiao: "My brother said to pick us up, and it will be there in half an hour." ”

Yan Xiao nodded hesitantly, and Huo Pingguo said again: "My brother still blames me for taking you out to play, saying that your fracture is not completely healed, and saying that I don't have the brains to stop, in short, blame me." ”

Yan Xiao thought that anyone would be unhappy if he was called to pick up someone at night, but he didn't say anything, and he silently began to panic in his heart.

Knowing that he was still concerned about her injuries, he was inexplicably excited.

"Aunt Yan Xiao, my eyes are dizzy when you walk around!" Jiajia squatted on the side of the road with her chin in her hands, looking at Yan Xiao who didn't stop all the time.

Yan Xiao stopped suddenly, but Huo Pingguo was mending the knife on the side: "Let Aunt Yan Xiao be excited for a while, and you will see the male god immediately." ”

"Who is the male god?" Jiajia's face was full of ignorance and curiosity.

Yan Xiao glanced at her, Huo Pingguo smiled and stopped answering, and asked Jiajia over and over again.

From a long distance, he saw Huo Zexi's car coming this way, he turned off the high beams and approached, Yan Xiao pulled up Jiajia, Huo Pingguo walked in front, opened the co-pilot door, paused for a second and looked at Yan Xiao again: "You sit here." ”

Before Yan Xiao squeaked, Jia Jia protested first: "I want to sit back and play games with Aunt Yan Xiao." ”

Huo Pingguo glared at Jiajia, but it didn't work, he still pulled Yan Xiao to sit in the back seat.

"Home?" Huo Zexi's voice.

Yan Xiao's heart softened when he heard his voice, and Huo Pingguo replied on the side: "Of course I'm going home." ”

He turned the steering wheel and turned around, "I asked Yan Xiao." ”

"Well, go home." Yan Xiao was called by his name, and after answering quickly, he snickered in his heart.

The mood is simply sweet.

Along the way, Jiajia wanted to play games again, this time Yan Xiao decisively said no, just imagine shaking his head next to the male god and playing the mentally handicapped game black and white, don't live...

Jia Jia was just about to lose her temper, but was warned by Huo Pingguo: "If you don't behave, Aunt Yan Xiao won't play with you in the future." ”

The small mouth that was originally pouting slowly withdrew again, and Jiajia suddenly thought of something again, and looked at Huo Zexi, "Uncle, let me ask you a question." ”

Huo Ze couldn't take his eyes off the car, "What's the problem?" ”

Jiajia: "Are you a male god?" ”

Yan Xiao: "..."Rub?!"

"Mom just said..."

Jiajia was about to say the context just now, Yan Xiao covered Jiajia's mouth violently, "Jiajia's face is stained with the syrup of the sugar gourd, I'll help you wipe it off!" ”

Jiajia was about to pull Yan Xiao's hand away, but she tried to divert the child's attention again: "I'll teach you a game!" ”

"What game?" Sure enough, I took the bait.

"See who falls asleep the fastest!" Yan Xiao set up Jiajia.

Huo Pingguo couldn't help but laugh, and Jia Jia was puzzled: "This is... Game? ”

Yan Xiao tried the game and immediately lay on the backrest and pretended to sleep.

I thought that Jiajia would also learn from her to start sleeping, but I didn't expect the little rabbit cub to secretly tickle her, Yan Xiao was already afraid of itching, and suddenly screamed excitedly, Jiajia successfully attacked and giggled on the side.

Is it tolerable or unbearable!

Yan Xiao didn't care about 3721 and immediately fought back, and the two made a mess in the back.
