The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 79

Huo Xiyin and Ji Zhandong left home together.She goes to work, he goes to the airport.Too many things happened this weekend, and when Huo Xiyin arrived at the office, he even felt a long-lost feeling.

She was absent-minded throughout the morning. In order to prevent the scheduled work from being completed when she got off work, she returned to the office to work overtime after lunch at noon.While she was typing, someone tapped her table with the knuckles of her index finger. Huo Xiyin looked up, and Jiang Xingzheng looked at her with a smile while propping up the table with both hands.

"I don't take a break at noon, it's too conscientious."

Huo Xiyin slapped him twice, "Why are you here?"

"I wasn't here this morning, I just arrived now." Jiang Xing fiddled with the small pot of spider plants on her desk, dragged a chair and sat down beside her, "Are you doing anything tonight?"

"and then?"

"Then I would like to ask you to accompany me to a party."

Huo Xiyin's movements stopped: "No."

"Ms. Huo Xiyin, it will make him feel very sorry to reject a sincere gentleman like this." Jiang Xing clicked on the computer in front of her, "Could it be that you have something to do tonight?"

"It's okay, I just don't want to wear high heels. Besides, you know I don't like parties and banquets all the time. Any other women in this office, you can find one at random, they should be very happy to be with you."

"But I don't know them well. I have only been in this city for less than half a month. You are probably the only compatriots of the opposite sex I know."

"What kind of party is that?"

"Hey, don't mention it," Jiang Xing suddenly rubbed his eyebrows pretendingly, "Do you believe it or not, a blind date party in disguise?"

Huo Xiyin was taken aback for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Have you fallen to the point of blind date?"

"Who made me so old. That's why I want to catch you as a shield." Jiang Xing thought for a while, then suddenly smiled, "You said that I am both old and male, what should you call me?"

Huo Xiyin was stunned for a moment, and then said expressionlessly, "I'm not young anymore. You said that I am both old and mother, so what should you call me?"

Jiang Xing was also stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, and finally stopped, the corner of his mouth was still full of smiles, "How about it, do you want to see my embarrassment? You can see it when you go tonight."

"Then you allow me a month's paid leave, and then I might consider going out with you."

"What are you doing on vacation?"

"Take a break, you're too good at squeezing employees."

"I'm really wronged. I've always been soft-hearted." Jiang Xing said, "But it's okay. If your salary unit doesn't approve it, I can help you make up for it. Then it's decided tonight ?”

Huo Xiyin kept looking at him silently, while Jiang Xing kept smiling innocently.She sighed and said, "Jiang Xing, I'll say it again, I don't like parties, why do you have to kick me, this iron board?"

Jiang Xing looked at her and slowly recovered his normal smile: "Okay, I understand. You can work hard."

Huo Xiyin finally finished all the work before leaving get off work.It was still early, and she went for a walk in the mall.

She lingered in the pregnant women and children's counter by herself. In the past, she only came here to buy gifts for friends, but this time she came here with very complicated feelings in her heart.She was caressing a very fine children's pajamas, when she suddenly heard a sneer from behind.

Huo Xiyin sighed secretly in her heart, she didn't expect to meet Xia Yi here.

She hadn't seen her for a while.Although she felt disappointed, she always felt that this kind of elder was the easiest to dismiss.Huo Xiyin is also very good at swearing, because she has blatantly misunderstood her, so she doesn't even care about sarcasm.

Xia Yi's weather-beaten face is still in good condition, but she has lost a lot of weight, and she has a pointed chin. She is still dressed in jewelry, which is too gorgeous and grand, giving her the feeling of a medieval woman. lady.

Huo Xiyin didn't have to look at her directly, she deliberately ignored her and was about to leave with her handbag.When passing by Xia Yi, she spoke slowly behind Huo Xiyin: "Since I saw it, why pretend I didn't see it."

"Why do you have to be provocative. It won't do you any good if you provoke me. Isn't it good to be a stranger?" Huo Xiyin looked back at her, with a mocking smile on her lips, but she didn't stop walking, still heading towards the elevator direction.

"You're walking so fast even when you're pregnant. Are you really not afraid of miscarriage?"

Huo Xiyin finally stopped.She was so shocked that for a moment she forgot how to respond.This subconscious action of hers probably satisfied Xia Yi very much. She walked around behind her, smiling very dignifiedly and elegantly: "Why, I didn't expect that I would know, did you?"

Huo Xiyin stared at her, wanting to poke a hole out of her.

"You're not the only one who went to the hospital. Why are you so shocked? Haven't you told anyone else about your pregnancy? Let me guess, could it be that among other people..." Xia Yi smiled coldly, " Including Ji Zhandong?"

Huo Xiyin slowly recovered her breath, and said slowly, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Did I poke your sore spot? Then it seems that I was right."

"What you said makes people uncomfortable." Huo Xiyin looked at her coldly, and her words were equally cold, "If there is no Huo Changqing, we are just strangers who have nothing to do with each other. Don't you think it will be very fulfilling for me to embarrass me?"

"Aren't we related without your father? I don't think so. There seems to be more than this line between us. We are also magically connected in some other places, and we are even on a very important link."

Huo Xiyin looked at her, noncommittal.

Xia Yi approached her, suddenly smiled faintly, and said softly: "Ji Zhandong bought your father's previous company, I don't believe you didn't touch it at all."

Huo Xiyin pursed her lips, still looking at her expressionlessly.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs."

"The company is dying. Do you think that Ji Zhandong took so much effort to take over, is it just business affairs? Did he tell you how favorable the conditions he proposed? Did he tell you who he bought the company for? Yes, although I don't know how much you know, but are you really sure that you will be happy after marriage?" Xia Yi laughed a little at the corner of her mouth, "Huo Xiyin, you are actually quite pitiful."

Huo Xiyin stared at her intently, she bit her lip, her face was pale and almost lost all color.She dug her nails into her flesh, managed to calm herself down, and then tried to smile softly: "Xia Yi, how did Huo Changqing abandon you at the beginning? Have you forgotten? Before you relied on your mother's relief, these two years you rely on Huo Changqing's inheritance, now you are relying on the money you got in exchange for the last share. Xia Yi, you are a complete parasite. In terms of being pitiful, aren't you a hundred times more pitiful than me now?"

Although she agreed quickly, she felt that she would not have the upper hand if she continued to talk about this kind of topic, so Huo Xiyin left after speaking, resolutely.

She went to the hospital again on Wednesday.She felt a little nauseous, very irritable at the same time, and felt a little exhausted.

"Are you worried recently? It's not good for children."

"If I want to have an abortion, will my current physical condition not allow it?" She has checked some relevant information these days and has a bottom line in her mind, but she still wants to confirm.

"Yes. You are too stressed and weak, which is not good for your child or you. What you need now is a rest, a rest to relax your mind."

Huo Xiyin came out of the consulting room and ran into her high school classmate again.Recently, she seems to always meet some old people, welcome and unwelcome, chatting about the past while expressing emotion.It probably happens to be a period of irritability recently, and everyone is complaining.The high school classmate sat on the bench with Huo Xiyin and talked for more than half an hour. From family to work, there were too many trivial matters, like chicken feathers in the same field, small, complicated and irregular, purely disruptive.

Later, her classmate said: "By the way, a patient came in a few days ago, who looks very similar to you. He is very young and temperamental, and he looks soft, but for some reason he suddenly swallowed it that night Fortunately, many sleeping pills were found by family members in time and sent over."

Huo Xiyin's heart moved, and he asked, "Is that person's surname Xia?"

Her classmate thought for a while and said, "It seems to be. Why, do you know each other?"

Huo Xiyin nodded: "How is she now?"

"I had my stomach washed that night, and I'm out of danger. Now it seems to be No. 1, the fourth floor of Building [-], if I remember correctly."

After separating from her high school classmates, Huo Xiyin went to the gift shop opposite the hospital to buy a box of supplements.She didn't hesitate when she bought it, but started to hesitate when she was about to enter the ward.

The act of her coming to visit was already abrupt, not to mention that she didn't just come to express condolences wholeheartedly.Huo Xiyin felt that she was very unkind, and after thinking for a long time, she finally gave up. At this moment, a doctor came and knocked on the door in front of her. Huo Xiyin heard a low response from inside, and then the door was pushed open by the doctor. She didn't have time Dodge, and directly face to face with Xia Weiyang.

"It's you?" She was obviously surprised, but quickly regained her composure, pointing to the chair beside the hospital bed, her voice was a little weak, "Come in."

Xia Weiyang's face is not pale, but she doesn't look very energetic.The room was very clean, so clean that it seemed that the only gift she was holding now was this one.

Huo Xiyin didn't want to explain how he knew she was here, nor did he want to explain why he came to the hospital.She wanted to ask how she was feeling, but found that the question could simply be replaced by "How does it feel to be rescued from a suicide attempt?"

Unable to even use this customary greeting, Huo Xiyin couldn't find a suitable topic to start with.

In fact, she has a lot of things she wants to ask and verify, but looking at her like this, she finds it difficult to ask.

The doctor checked a few things and found that there was nothing serious, and after a few instructions, they went out, so only the two of them were left in the ward.

"You are still the first person to come to see me." Xia Weiyang looked at her, and suddenly smiled weakly, "Only my mother knows about my suicide attempt."

"I just found out about it from a doctor I know." Huo Xiyin didn't expect her to say it so frankly, and asked after a pause, "Do you feel better now?"

"It's basically nothing, the rest is just recuperating. Today is Wednesday, why do you come to the hospital during working hours?"

"The stomach has been feeling a little uncomfortable for the past two days, so I asked for leave to take a look."

"what did the doctor say?"

"The situation is fine."

Xia Weiyang nodded, reaching out to get the water glass far away from her, Huo Xiyin helped her pour the water and handed it to her, Xia Weiyang said "thank you".

"You didn't hire a nurse? Wouldn't it be inconvenient for you to be here by yourself?"

"Please, I just went out to buy something for me, and I haven't come back yet."

Huo Xiyin noticed that Xia Weiyang seemed to have the habit of touching the rim of the cup when she was nervous.For example, now she lowered her eyebrows, rubbed her thumb lightly on the handle of the cup, and smiled again: "Do you think I'm very stupid to commit suicide?"

"No. I also thought about committing suicide, but it just didn't happen." Huo Xiyin said lightly, "During junior high school, it was probably because of the rebellious period that I dared to do anything and dared to think. This idea has been circling in my mind for half a year. In the end, I didn’t know why it was gone. Looking back now, I always feel a little inexplicable and ridiculous. In fact, you might as well think about it this way. Although we still don’t know why we are alive, we still can’t seem to find the real truth. Need a reason to kill yourself."

"Actually, I still don't know why I took medicine at that time."

"People always do impulsive things."

Xia Weiyang laughed at herself: "I remember someone said that suicides happen most in the early hours of the morning, so I can be regarded as one of the practitioners. I couldn't sleep in the early hours of Sunday, and I thought about a lot of things. Messed up and felt a little guilty, and then I swallowed more than half of the bottle of sleeping pills, now that I think about it, it’s really not worth it.”

"It's good that people have nothing to do, just look at everything."

Xia Weiyang took a sip of water, while Huo Xiyin took out her phone to check the time.In fact, she had already asked for a whole morning's leave, and she had plenty of time. This action was purely used to pass the cold field between them.

"Do you have anything else you want to say to me?" Xia Weiyang spoke first, perhaps because of illness, her voice became softer and softer, Huo Xiyin almost couldn't bear to hurt her.

She thought about it in her heart, and finally opened her mouth slowly, "I've always wanted to know, your guilt is so strong, is it just because your boyfriend died in a car accident without warning? How much does his death have to do with Ji Zhandong?"

After she said this, she regretted a little, because the blood on Xia Weiyang's face had faded completely.For a long time after that, she was just holding the water glass in a daze, her smile disappeared along with the blood.

"How did you know?" She reluctantly opened her mouth, her voice was rough and hoarse as if it had been run over by a grinding wheel.

"I can listen, watch and think, and now I only need one proof."

Xia Weiyang didn't speak for a long time.Her eyelashes were so long that they fell just over her eyes.With her lips pursed slightly, she leaned crookedly on the head of the bed, her face was as white as a piece of paper, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

She finally sighed softly, but still did not speak.

"You and Ji Zhandong clearly know each other, and even have a good relationship, and have not broken contact until now. In this case, why pretend that you don't know each other in front of me? How long do you think you can hide it? Being in the drum will give you a sense of accomplishment?"

Huo Xiyin looked at her, and finished speaking in one breath, but Xia Weiyang still closed her eyes and frowned, clenched her teeth tightly, and said nothing.Huo Xiyin tortured a pale sick beauty like this, and mercilessly pinched her and her life, even Huo Xiyin felt like a wicked woman.

In Huo Xiyin's eyes, her performance of not shaking her head was equivalent to acquiescence.Huo Xiyin only felt that a certain part of her heart was collapsing rapidly, and she had difficulty breathing, unable to continue talking, no matter it was Xia Weiyang's attitude, the nurse who had knocked on the door, or herself, she had no desire to question any further.

Huo Xiyin got up and wanted to leave, but Xia Weiyang stopped her when she turned around and walked to the door.

She said: "At the beginning of the conversation, you were obviously booing me, but later on, you were tit-for-tat. Huo Xiyin, you are really contradictory."

Huo Xiyin's footsteps stopped for two seconds, and her response was to slam the door behind her.
