The expression on Su Mang's face was also ordinary, and there seemed to be something troubled between his eyebrows. He was not as generous as before, and looked a bit heavy.
The two beauties were sitting together, and the heavy look between their brows made the place feel a bit colder, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Xiaoqiu..."
"Su Mang..."
The two spoke in unison, and then stopped abruptly at the same time. There was a brief silence...
"you say……"
"you say……"
They all spoke in unison again, the scene was a bit awkward and completely quiet.
Both women had many worries. Su Mang was pregnant with the guy's child, but across from him was his girlfriend. She didn't know why she came. Xiaoqiu suddenly called her to ask her out, and she agreed by mistake. It seemed that she wanted to prove that the child was a child, she was a she, and he was a he. There was no direct relationship between them, and she should not be flustered or confused.
Yan Xiaoqiu was very confused and didn't want to believe it. She hoped that her sister Chen Shanshan hated her, so she lied to her.
"What do you need?"
At this time, the waiter came over, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
"Warm water, thank you..." Su Mang was just halfway through his words when he felt an involuntary retching feeling and couldn't stop it.
"vomit--"
"Ugh, vomit——"
At some point, the familiar morning sickness that had slowed down or even disappeared appeared again, and Su Mang hurriedly got up and ran to the bathroom.
Yan Xiaoqiu was stunned there, the scene just now echoing in his mind.
"Pregnancy...morning sickness?"
She didn't dare to confirm, but she couldn't stop guessing in her heart, and her heart seemed to be aching.
She drank the lemonade at hand, but it felt extremely bitter. The sun was shining brightly today, but she couldn't feel any warmth, as if she had been abandoned.
"No... that's not the case, Yan Xiaoqiu... Yan Xiaoqiu, you can't have random thoughts. It's not what you think. Let's ask clearly. After a while, everything will be fine..." He murmured to cheer himself up and told himself not to Giving up seems like it will pass and get better.
The waiting time made Yan Xiaoqiu extremely tormented, and his slender fingers clenched and unclenched again and again.
Su Mang came back, her complexion turned pale due to retching. She sat down and smiled sheepishly at Yan Xiaoqiu.
"Are you... are you suffering from morning sickness?" After asking, Yan Xiaoqiu bit her lower lip hard enough to make a mark but felt nothing.
Su Mang was startled, and her beautiful big eyes flashed. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaoqiu asked this suddenly, pretending to be relaxed, and said with a smile, "Well, I have a baby."
Suddenly, Yan Xiaoqiu's haggard face turned pale. Su Mang was stunned. Why did she have a baby? Yan Xiaoqiu looked shocked.
"Xiaoqiu...?"
Su Mang's soft call brought Yan Xiaoqiu back to her senses, who had been distracted for a while. She had lost her sense of control and asked hurriedly, "The baby is...?"
Su Mang murmured in her heart, why was Yan Xiaoqiu acting weird today? She just shook her head slightly. She didn't want to explain more about this issue. It was her private matter.
The direction of the story gradually deviated, but it seemed that it did not deviate from the right track. Yan Xiaoqiu seemed to understand something, smiled sadly, and made a stabbing sound, as if something was torn apart, it really hurt... it hurt...
"How...how long..."
His increasingly pale lips were trembling. Yan Xiaoqiu tried his best to control himself, telling himself not to lose his composure, at least here, now.
Su Mang thought Yan Xiaoqiu was asking about the baby. She stroked her belly and smiled like a mother. Before she could answer, Yan Xiaoqiu suddenly stopped her, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to accept the next answer. She took a deep breath and stood up, walking towards the door. Su Mang was filled with questions.
"Xiaoqiu?"
No one responded to her, and Yan Xiaoqiu left without looking back, without saying goodbye.
"What happened???" Su Mang was puzzled. He invited her to come but then left without saying anything. What was he doing?
"Are you having trouble with Zheng Chu?" Su Mang guessed.
……………
Bah, bah, bah, the tears couldn't stop anymore and flowed down.
Feeling suffocated, heart-wrenching pain, and out of breath, Yan Xiaoqiu walked aimlessly on the streets of the Bund while crying silently.
She didn't believe that any of this was true, "It's all a lie to me, it's all a lie to me..."
I don't know how long it took, and it got dark. At the gate of the community, a taxi stopped. Yan Xiaoqiu got out of it and walked home like a zombie.
The concierge who was happily drinking new tea saw Yan Xiaoqiu and stretched out his hand to say hello. Yan Xiaoqiu walked into the community without any reaction.
"Hey, what happened to this girl today? Did she have a conflict with her boyfriend?"
In the past, when Yan Xiaoqiu came home from get off work and entered the community, as long as the concierge was there, she would smile and say hello happily, but that was no longer the case today.
The concierge touched his chin, took a sip of the new tea he just bought, took out his mobile phone, and dialed Qian Wen's phone number.
This was given to him by Qian Wen. It was obvious that something was wrong with Xiaoqiu yesterday. In order not to scare himself and avoid any accidents happening to Xiaoqiu, he left his mobile phone number for the concierge. Yan Xiaoqiu would give him a call when he got home from get off work. , which also reassured him.
Soon the call was hung up. Qian Wen also knew that Yan Xiaoqiu had gone home. The concierge also told him that Yan Xiaoqiu was not in a good state and was unhappy.
Qian Wen, who was eating out alone, put down his chopsticks and took out his mobile phone to call Yan Xiaoqiu. No one answered. He scratched his head and had to order a takeaway and send a message.
Ding dong——
"Xiaoqiu, I have ordered a dinner for you, remember to eat it. I will stay in a nearby hotel and will be on call." There was an emoticon behind it.
My heart, which had been numb just now, started to hurt again after reading this message.
The phone fell to the ground. Now she just wants to rest, not thinking about anything, not wanting to think about anything.
The room was dark. I don’t know how long it had been, but Yan Xiaoqiu hadn’t fallen asleep. Something seemed to wake her up. She heard the delivery man knocking on the door, but she ignored it. She just wanted to be alone and quiet. Just wait, it will make her feel better.
Time passed little by little, and the sun rose again. Yan Xiaoqiu, who had not rested for another day, was sick, "Ah Qiu~~"
The phone was out of battery and turned off automatically, completely losing contact with the outside world, but it didn't matter, it seemed like everything wasn't that important anymore.
Qian Wen didn't receive a call from the concierge today. When Qian Wen called, the concierge said he didn't see Yan Xiaoqiu leaving the community. He didn't know whether he didn't go out or whether he didn't see him.
Qian Wen thought for a moment, turned on his computer, found the email address of Lu Yao, a colleague and leader in the same group as Yan Xiaoqiu, and sent him an email.
It didn't take long for me to get a reply. It was very short and I didn't want to have anything to do with him. "Yan Xiaoqiu didn't come to the company and didn't ask for leave."
Qian Wen stood up in a hurry. He knew something had happened, and it was a big deal. How could Yan Xiaoqiu, who loved his job so much, not even ask for leave.
Asking his assistant and Gu Yuan to call him at any time, Qian Wen drove to Yan Xiaoqiu's home.
When he arrived at the gate of the community, the concierge waved his hand when he saw it was him, "The girl went out just now, but she looked a little bad."
Qian Wen didn't know where to go for a while, and Yan Xiaoqiu didn't answer his call. He vaguely felt that a problem had arisen here, but he didn't know the key to the problem, "Why?"
In fact, it is relatively simple for Qian Wen to find Yan Xiaoqiu. After all, this is the information age. As long as he is given a place to connect to the Internet and leave traces, he can find the person no matter what. But Qian Wen is unwilling to do this. After all, he is not there yet. This is an urgent situation, firstly because he respects Xiaoqiu, and also because he seems to know why Xiaoqiu is abnormal.
It's been a day and a night, and I haven't answered his phone calls or replied to his messages, so I have some suspicions.
"Heads, Xiaoqiu knows it, tails, he doesn't know." Qian Wen took out the coin, and maybe what was supposed to come came after all.
The coin falls, heads.
Snapped--
Qian Wen slapped his forehead and it was over.
"You know that paper can't contain the fire."
"It's just...how did Xiaoqiu know? And how much did she know?"
"Either you don't come, or the dam bursts when you come, ah... one, two, three..." Qian Wen rubbed his brows, none of them could be solved safely.
"This...'Heart Arsonist' is unreliable." Qian Wen was looking for someone to take the blame. "If you can't even handle three of them, what's the use of you?"
After Qian Wen sent n messages and made n calls, Yan Xiaoqiu replied. She said she was fine and just wanted to be alone. Don't ask her why, and then she was gone.
Qian Wen only made one request, a message every morning and evening to reassure him.
When Yan Xiaoqiu saw this request and the familiar feeling, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red again. Although their relationship and relationship were not so dramatic and unforgettable, they were engraved in her heart bit by bit.
That meticulous care, protection, and ubiquitous warmth.
Her father was hospitalized and made excuses to lend her money. She was bullied by colleagues in the company and secretly helped her vent her anger by sending her to and from work. Some of the corridor lights in front of her house were broken. Afraid of her fear, they quietly replaced them with new ones and lit them up to let the evil spirits upstairs If the neighbor keeps ringing in the middle of the night, please ask the property manager to take care of her if she has something to eat. Prepare some exquisite gifts for her colleagues so that they can take care of her. She will always have late night snacks when she works overtime, and she will always be by her side when she is sick. , etc... She knew some of them, and did some in private without telling her. She actually knew them all, respected her, understood her, and cared for her.
They say she is independent and sensible since she was a child. It seems that this has always been her label. She has been praised by people like this for as long as she can remember. Her parents, neighbors, teachers, classmates... and her sister, but he is the only one who holds her in the palm of his hand. Take that as a treasure and tell yourself that you don’t need to be so strong.
Only in front of him do you feel like a child who has not grown up. You no longer need to be independent or sensible. You can act like a spoiled brat and act recklessly, and he will act like a child along with you.
One by one, without eachother, without the heart-breaking experiences and vows of you are Feng'er and I am Sha, they are engraved on her body and mind bit by bit. She enjoys being pampered, protected and cared for. .
"How can you make me forget you!" Yan Xiaoqiu murmured painfully, choosing to make her struggle extremely.
At this moment, she preferred not to know the truth and be kept in the dark forever.
'Heart Arsonist' is not useless, but it moisturizes things silently, and everything will only become stronger.
Qian Wen was completely quiet. No one needed his care anymore. One, two, three, none of them seemed to need him anymore.
"'Earl', what do you think I should do?" Qian Wen asked 'Earl', but actually he was asking himself. He knew that procrastinating like this was not the answer. Things always had to be solved, and he was not the kind who liked to be passive all the time. People waiting for results.
It's life or death, let's take a quick stab.
Four more days have passed, and Xiaoqiu has been getting two messages every day: work, get off work, a total of four words a day, which makes Qian Wen feel relieved, depressed and has a headache.
As for Su Mang, it seems that he has adjusted himself well. Yesterday, we met him walking the dog downstairs. When we met him, he was not the same as before. He will be back at work soon. It seems that the holiday does not need to be extended.
Guo Guo was unexpectedly not impulsive, and he was ready to stop Guo Guo. Unexpectedly, after a few days of seclusion, he returned to his career, leaving him confused and asking undercover Tony to continue to investigate and report again.
At first glance, it seemed that everything had passed, as if nothing had happened. The impending storm suddenly disappeared and the sky became clear.
Qian Wen didn't want to suffer such passivity again. He was thinking of a perfect solution to solve the problem once and for all.
"I have a headache——"
Qian Wen in the office suddenly shouted regardless of his image, which made the assistant at the door stunned. What made the calm Mr. Zheng look like this?
Soon, a week passed, and Qian Wen still didn't think of any good solution, but he received bad news.
"What? Yan Xiaoqiu in Room 402 has moved out and has canceled the lease?"
Qian Wen looked at the property manager in front of him and said in surprise.
"That's right, Mr. Zheng, you don't know? I even asked someone to help. Miss Yan said that she would move to your place and would not live here." The property manager explained.
Qian Wen left the property department, just a little confused. What happened?
Xiaoqiu is missing?
He felt that procrastinating was not the answer. It had been so long. What should be faced should be faced. He couldn't keep hiding like this. He just wanted to talk to Xiaoqiu. He could accept any result. If he procrastinated, there would only be consequences. What's worse, who would have thought it would give him such a result.
Qian Wen took out his mobile phone and looked at the messages between him and Yan Xiaoqiu this morning. Yan Xiaoqiu sent the word "work" and he replied a lot, but just like this time, it seemed that these messages did not exist.
"There is a reply." Qian Wen drove to Yan Xiaoqiu's company, and the result he got was even more surprising. Xiaoqiu resigned a week ago.
"This..." Fengfenghuohuo Guoguo didn't give him any shock, but the soft and weak Xiaoqiu gave him a lot of surprise, "It is indeed the result of Xiaoqiu's character."
Although she looks soft and weak, she is soft yet strong.
After thinking twice, Qian Wen went online and after some illegal operations, he found Xiaoqiu's online payment and consumption records.
"Going back to Lijiang?"
Quit the rent, resign, and go back to your hometown. This is the rhythm to completely break up with him.
"Let me see where you can hide." Qian Wen booked a flight to Lijiang the next moment. "If you want to break it off, you have to break it off in person!"
He didn't accept such ambiguity. Even if he went and received a loud slap, he would have to go. As a result, he had already thought about it.
The flight is in the afternoon, there is nothing to prepare, just board the plane then, but it will be night when we arrive.
………………
Ancient town, Yan Xiaoqiu's Inn.
Yan Xiaoqiu, who has been back for almost a week, has been depressed. When Yan's father asked her what was wrong, she just shook her head and asked if she was having trouble with her boyfriend. She still shook her head. She shook her head every time he asked, which made Yan's father see. Keep it in mind.
"Hello."
"Hello."
Yan Xiaoqiu, who was cleaning on the first floor, raised his head, preparing to receive the tourists who were staying, when he looked up and saw an acquaintance, "Xiaolu?"
"Xiaoqiu?"
The visitor turned out to be Yan Xiaoqiu's fate, the seductive messenger Xiaolu who loves to travel, and Yan Xiaoqiu was also surprised.
"Why are you here?" Xiaolu was also very happy to meet Yan Xiaoqiu here.
Yan Xiaoqiu smiled and said, "This is the inn run by my family." Meeting friends from Shanghai made Yan Xiaoqiu feel a little better unconsciously.
"Aren't you a jewelry designer?"
"I no longer do design, I just want to run this inn well."
The two sat down, and Yan Xiaoqiu poured water enthusiastically. Xiaolu asked curiously, "By the way, why don't you become a designer? The wedding ring you designed for me before was very beautiful, and many of my friends liked it very much. "
"Really?" Yan Xiaoqiu smiled.
"Of course, many people want to ask you to design one too."
"They can come to me if they need it."
"That's great, I will tell them." Xiaolu looked Yan Xiaoqiu up and down, and seeing that his energy was much worse than before, he asked strangely, "Xiaoqiu, are you sick?" His hand was gently placed on the back of Yan Xiaoqiu's hand. , concerned.
Yan Xiaoqiu shook his head dumbly and laughed, but still felt warm, "No, I just haven't had a good rest recently."
"Trail, sp;" We are going to Tiger Leaping Gorge. I heard that the terrain there is steep and it is a must-go for mountaineers. "As he said that, Xiaolu took Yan Xiaoqiu's hand and said, "How about we go together. "
"ah?!"
Before Yan Xiaoqiu could refuse, Xiaolu warmly invited, "Let's go together. Mountain climbing is a very good sport for the body and mind. Look at you now. You need a quick mountain climbing trip most. Think about it. The shouting from the top of the mountain and the feeling of conquest will baptize you from the inside out.”
"Go to Xiaoqiu. Don't stay at home all the time. I'll be fine as long as I'm here at the inn." Yan's father appeared behind the two of them and said softly. He didn't know how to make his daughter happy, but he could go out for a walk and see the general public. That's right.
"Yes, Xiaoqiu, come on." Xiaolu strongly invited.
Yan Xiaoqiu tilted her head and thought for a while, and finally agreed.
"Okay, let's set out tomorrow morning facing the rising sun." Xiaolu said with a smile.
………………
Night, quarter past nine.
Qian Wen walked out of the airport and turned off the airplane mode on his phone.
