Planetary revolution
Chapter 76 Goodbye
The two had dinner at the restaurant and went straight back to Ancheng on the highway.
The twilight is in harmony, the sky is blue, and the evening photos are magnificent, with layers of orange, copper red, and purple, and the long and straight road is empty of unmanned vehicles.
Huo Jingshi hoped that this road would never end, and recalled the resolution he had just made today, silently looking at the mountains and weeds in the distance, his heart sank again.
The last ray of afterglow outlines the superior and handsome profile of the man in the driver's seat. Xia Xingxing occasionally turned his head to the side, and when he saw Huo Jingshi's eyes, something seemed to disappear into the night with the setting sun ahead.
After stopping the car once in the service area, Huo Jingshi was tired from driving, so he took out the cigarette case, paused, and put it back again.
Bought toast and milk from a convenience store for Xia Xingxing: "It will take more than two hours to go back, so I'll fill my stomach if I'm hungry.
It doesn't matter if he drives [-] per hour by himself, but with Xia Xingxing in his car, Huo Jingshi is more secure than a novice driver.
Xia Xingxing took the food, blinked slowly, and said, "Thank you."
"Sleepy?"
Xia Xingxing: "No."
He kept his eyelids open all the time, and although he didn't talk to Huo Jingshi, he made some noises occasionally to let the other party know that he was not alone.
Huo Jingshi stretched his long legs, jumped off the off-road, went around to the trunk of the car and brought back a blanket: "Sleep for a while, and you will be home when you open your eyes."
Xia Xingxing hugged the thin blanket and didn't move.
Huo Jingshi looked at him for two seconds, then said: "I'm fine, I can drive faster when you're asleep, I'm not afraid of jolting you."
Only then did Xia Xingxing slowly lean back on the seat, thinking, it wasn't that he didn't sleep, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
He has been insomnia for a long time.
The more unable to sleep, the more afraid to sleep, the more afraid to sleep, the more unable to sleep, a vicious circle.
Even if he made himself very tired during the day, he was still tired but not sleepy. Even if he fell asleep, he was quickly awakened by the nightmare. The nightmare seemed to haunt him since the time his grandfather left.
I have tried a lot of methods, online, in books, and heard about them, but nothing worked.
Xia Xingxing has changed from being irritable and anxious at the beginning to calm and helpless now.
Huo Jingshi changed the stereo to soothing classical music, turned down the volume, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner: "You can sleep more comfortably by lowering the backrest."
"The switch is on your right, under the seat."
Xia Xingxing hadn't ridden in this kind of off-road vehicle before, and he couldn't get it right after groping for a long time. He wanted to say, "Forget it, it's quite comfortable just like this."
Huo Jingshi unbuckled his seat belt "Bada", propped up his body and walked over, saying, "I'll do it."
A shadow suddenly shrouded from the top of the head, engulfing the man's familiar cold breath and overturning.
Xia Xingxing leaned back, the man's handsome eyebrows and focused and serious expression suddenly magnified in front of his eyes.
The heart began to beat again, and it was extremely clear in the quiet space.
Even though Huo Jingshi deliberately kept an appropriate distance, the two of them were still very close in the not-so-spacious carriage, so close that Xia Xingxing could kiss the corner of Huo Jingshi's tight mouth just by tilting his head slightly.
He held his breath, suppressing his faster and faster heartbeat.
Huo Jingshi was distracted, pressed the button to move the backrest a few times but failed, frowned, and glanced at Xia Xingxing's unnatural face from the corner of his eye, felt pain in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sorry, bear with me."
Xia Xingxing knew that he had misunderstood something, but he opened his lips and did not explain.
The backrest is finally adjusted.
Even if Xia Xingxing closed his eyes, he could still feel the other party's gaze from time to time, forbearing, distant, and scorching, sticking to his eyelids and face.
There were many words hidden in it, Xia Xingxing just didn't realize it.
In a daze, a hand tucked the thin blanket on his body, took his hand and stuffed it into the blanket.
Xia Xingxing occasionally opened his eyes to see a thin and relaxed silhouette in the dim light, driving alone in the night made him look extraordinarily slack.
As if this road had no end, Huo Jingshi's loneliness was also endless.
He closed his eyes tiredly, and managed to sleep the most familiar, deepest and most peaceful sleep in the past few days.
No dream.
When he woke up, the car had stopped, and Xia Xingxing met a pair of deep and focused eyes in the unknown light of the carriage. Xia Xingxing propped up his upper body, rubbed his eyes, and saw the time clearly: "Why didn't you call me?"
It should have been there about an hour ago.
Hoth didn't turn on the light, and whispered in the dark, "I want to see you for a while."
There will be no chance to see you again.
Xia Xingxing was so sad that he didn't know what to say, so he simply opened the car door and jumped out.
Huo Jingshi took out his suitcase from the trunk, Xia Xingxing stretched out his hand: "Thank you, give it to me."
Huo Jingshi didn't let go, and said, "I'll take you up."
It was past one o'clock at night, Xia Xingxing didn't want to bother anyone anymore, and said, "No, I—"
"I know you can," Huo Jingshi interrupted him: "This is the last time, let me send it up."
"..."
The numbers slowly rose in silence, no matter how reluctant Huo Jingshi was, the elevator reached the destination floor in the slow silence.
Xia Xingxing went out, took out the key, opened the door, and reached out to return the luggage. Huo Jingshi put his hand against the edge of the door when he closed it halfway.
Xia Xing looked up and waited for him to speak.
Huo Jingshi slid his throat a few times with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "Be happy, Xingxing."
"I won't pester you anymore, you should be happier."
"I love you and will always love you."
"Please...don't ever doubt that."
"No, you don't have to love me all the time." Xia Xingxing ignored his heartbeat, looked at him calmly, and said goodbye slowly: "Then goodbye, Mr. Huo."
With such a calm expression, probably no one can tell that he is also very sad, inexplicably and unspeakably sad.
Huo Jingshi was standing in the corridor, his shirt and hem were blown by the night wind, looking unrestrained.
The faint starlight from the sky poured in through the window, falling on his body and face, and his expression could not be seen clearly, but Xia Xingxing felt that the other party was going to be completely swallowed by this endless darkness and emptiness.
He withdrew his gaze and turned around sharply.
Huo Jingshi looked at the slowly closing door and Xia Xingxing's disappearing figure, and knew in his heart that everything was over.
In mid-August, a huge red banner at the entrance of the Ann High School read "Congratulations to Xia Xingxing from our school for being admitted to Peking University", flying in the summer wind.
Huo Jingshi looked at it for a full 10 minutes. After finishing his cigarette, he turned the steering wheel and drove into the school's underground parking lot.
Just after locking Che Tian Yiyang's phone came over: "Is it done?"
Huo Jingshi stayed up all night last night, rubbing his tired brows: "No, just passed."
Today, on behalf of the company, I came to sign a scholarship contract with the school.
Xia Xingxing refused to accept his money, Huo Jingshi could only try to put various titles on him, with a variety of tricks, set a sum for "Total Score No. 1", set a sum for the first in a single subject, and let Tian Yiyang and He Yu named their company.
Tian Yiyang asked: "Why are you going now?"
Isn't it already ready?I have never seen this person so caring about a contract with tens of billions of bids.
The leather shoes echoed clearly in the empty underground garage, and Huo Jingshi said vaguely: "He just received the notice to go back."
He watched the person he hadn't seen for a long time walk out of the school gate before he dared to go in.
If you said not to disturb, there is no need to appear in front of him again.
"..." Tian Yiyang was speechless: "He must be going to Beijing, shouldn't you also..." let go.
"Huh?" Huo Jingshi pressed the elevator, "My application for dispatching business in Beijing has already been reviewed by the board of directors."
The fluffy tone seemed as simple and casual as if he was just deciding what to eat today.
"You..." Tian Yiyang was surprised. Huo Jingshi didn't mention this to them. Is he crazy? How big is Ancheng's cake waiting for them to share: "Are you going to Beijing? Can you go to Beijing?" What? He won't-"
"I know, you don't need to remind me," Huo Jingshi said indifferently.
"I don't do anything, and I won't appear in front of him, so I can't just watch from a distance?"
He had long since given up any hope, and just wanted to silently guard Xia Xingxing in the dark, so that he would not have to walk so hard in the future, and could help him in time when he might encounter difficulties.
He is willing to use his hopeless guardianship for the rest of his life in exchange for Xia Xingxing's bright and smooth future, which is safe and smooth.
Tian Yiyang laughed angrily, and scolded: "You are so crazy, aren't you? Watching from a distance? What are you looking at? Seeing him talking about a vigorous campus love? Seeing him driving beautiful seniors on the back of his bicycle? Seeing him get married and have children What are you looking at—”
Huo Jingshi's heart was empty, and his voice was calm, as if he had thought about these things thousands of times in his mind: "Well, yes."
"As long as he's doing well."
"I can watch from afar."
He didn't want to say more: "You don't have to worry about me."
Tian Yiyang was stunned, stunned for a while, and murmured: "I've known you for so long, I don't know that you are still a love interest."
Huo Jingshi was in a bad mood: "Is there anything else?"
"You can't listen to something." Tian Yiyang completely gave up the idea of persuading him. The man was crazy and couldn't persuade him. "Call me after you sign the contract, and I'll make an appointment with the lawyer for you."
Mr. Qu's estate was all left to Xia Xingxing. Xia Xingxing was underage when the will was made, so he entrusted Huo Jingshi to manage it.
Huo Jingshi didn't dare to make too many fusses directly in the fixed real assets, for fear that children would become suspicious.
He had no choice but to add shares and funds to property income to ensure that Xia Xingxing could receive a generous capital increase every year.
When he was drafting the initial plan, Tian Yiyang couldn't stand it any longer: "Are you crazy? Can the old man and a teacher get five points of Guomao A shares? Why don't you just give away all the overseas lines?" Leave it to him."
Hu Yi was also full of words: "Brother, are you a little contemptuous of the IQ of our city's top student in the college entrance examination?" Mr. Qu can't make such a big battle with all his life savings, right?
Huo Jingshi pursed his lips and remained silent. He changed the plan again and again. He wanted to give him too much, but he had to do it quietly and without trace.
He will pave all the roads for Xia Xingxing, and give him a starting point beyond his peers. He can pursue whatever he likes, choose the life he wants, and no longer suffer from economic distress and life. any compromise.
