"Sister Liao."

"are you home yet?"

"Well, it's already in the room."

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the swelling is a little scary."

There was a sudden silence over there, and Sheng Xi couldn't imagine that Liao Qingyi would stop talking.She suddenly wanted to see her expression on the other end of the phone.

"Well, then you should rest early, take a good rest these few days and don't go out."

I couldn't guess what she wanted to say when she paused just now, and felt a little regretful for some reason.On the contrary, Liao Qingyi hesitated for a while because she heard something wrong with her voice, and she couldn't ask in the end.

"Well, you should go to bed early too. Also, thank you tonight."

"Okay, you're welcome, I'll make an appointment another day when I'm free."

"OK."

This phone call brought Sheng Xi's memory back to the scene when they met in the hospital just now.

Unlike the dignified and decent during the day, she has no makeup and is dressed in simple clothes, which seem to be home clothes that are only worn at home.Her hair was a little messy from running, but she didn't know it.

This kind of Liao Qingyi, probably only the closest people can see.Or people who are close may not necessarily have met, and she is also a decent person in private.

But she just stood in front of him alive, without even the usual gentle smile on her face.The worry and uneasiness in her eyes were so obvious, and the emotions revealed made Sheng Xi surrender in just a moment.She didn't want to see such a flustered Liao Qingyi at all.

She wanted to explain that there was nothing wrong with her, and wanted her to return to the Liao Qingyi who had everything in mind in the daytime.

But there was no time.

When Liao Qingyi knelt down and cared softly, Sheng Xi's mind went blank.In front of her eyes were only her lips, which carried a faint fragrance after bathing.All rushed into her brain, making her unable to think at all.

When she came back to her senses, Liao Qingyi was already sitting next to her, and the distance between the two of them was so close that they could kiss each other just by leaning forward a little.

kiss it?

When recalling this, Sheng Xi let out a soft cry in the room, and then lay on the bed with his head up.

Did I really want to kiss her?

No matter how much she shook her, she couldn't get Liao Qingyi's face out of her mind.I had no choice but to cover my cheek with both hands, but the wound on my mouth was too painful.Reluctantly had to give up this action.

Sheng Xi is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart.Immediately, she realized a more serious problem from this thought, and the memories of the two from the airport map to the present played through her mind like a movie.

Sheng Xi discovered a terrible thing. She could recall almost every detail of the relationship between the two of them immediately, and it was even so vivid that it seemed like it just happened yesterday.When thinking of certain pictures, the corners of his mouth even curled up unconsciously, and he didn't realize it until he touched the wound.

Sheng Xi hugged the pillow next to him on the bed.After a while, he gave a wry smile.

I like her.

The matter of making friends has run through Shengxi's entire life from childhood to adulthood, and she has always been the most popular among all the students in school.The reason is nothing more than good looks, good personality, and especially lively and playful.

Such a person naturally has suitors from childhood to adulthood.Lin Han watched her accept love letters from elementary school, rejecting them one by one, all the way to university.

Even Lin Han changed several boyfriends during this period, but she remained single all the time.

And Shengxi's answer to why she has been single ranged from "I don't like it", "It's boring" to, "It's good to be single.", "I just want to be a single nobleman."

The two have not discussed the subject since.

Sometimes when Lin Han changed her boyfriend again, Sheng Xi couldn't help but fantasize about it.What kind of person would she like in the future? But no matter how she imagined it, the outline of that person seemed a bit difficult to describe.

After a long time, I simply gave up on this matter.

She thought that she would always be single like this, she had never tasted the feeling of heartbeat.But that doesn't mean she can't tell the difference when love comes.

On the contrary, she knew better than anyone, and realized it.changes in oneself.

She didn't know what to do, so she just lay on the bed until she fell into a deep sleep.

On the other side, there was also someone who was suffering from insomnia because of this relationship, Liao Qingyi was leaning on a chair in the study.The computer interface was still full of comments from netizens on Weibo. She flipped through it a few times and didn't move the mouse anymore.

Shengxi.

When did she fall in love with her, even though she spent countless nights thinking in bed, she just couldn't remember the beginning of her feelings for her.Originally, she was only treating her well with the deepest feelings in her heart, but others couldn't see it, and Sheng Xi naturally couldn't notice it either. Her just right care and words were all suppressed before the line of friends.

But tonight, she underestimated her self-control.To be precise, I should have underestimated how much I like and care about Sheng Xi.It also gave her the first taste of powerlessness.On the bench in the hospital just now, she saw Shengxi acting like a baby to her wrongedly, and for a moment she wanted to hug her into her arms and comfort her softly.But all she can do is a few words, a friend's concern.

Youyou sighed, her eyes were confused about this relationship, and more worried about the online evaluation.She hasn't cared much about herself for so many years, but she can't tolerate the slander of Shengxi from the outside world.After clarifying this cognition, Liao Qingyi secretly sighed in his heart, as expected, emotions make people lose their minds.

Chapter: Chapter 39

In order to avoid showing bad emotions in front of her mother, and to avoid that topic being brought up again, Sheng Xi only stayed at home for one night and then returned to her home in the city center.

Pei Lingning had already pushed back all of her upcoming trips, and now that this happened, she would not be invited to another show.There was still no response from her. Chen Junyang said that he could find the complete video, and Pei Lingning had nothing to do, so she simply waited.

The least anxious of all was probably Sheng Xi himself, the first thing he did when he got home was to turn on the TV and connect to the game.

Before I came back in the morning, I heard my mother chanting a long list. It was the time when I was bored, and the gift Liao Qingyi gave her hadn't been opened yet, so I just used it to relieve my boredom.

While waiting for the game interface, he inevitably thought of the gift giver, and Sheng Xi fell into a state of evasion for a minute after thinking clearly.She couldn't think of how she should face Liao Qingyi, and she didn't want to discuss it with anyone.

Just don't think about anything, anyway, she is not suitable to appear in public during this period of time, just to save the troubles she faces.I didn't even know it in the dark when I played the game.

Seeing that Liao Qingyi missed the call two hours later, rubbing his sore eyes, Sheng Xi stared at the two words on the phone screen, and did not make up his mind to go back for a long time.

When the screen went black again, it suddenly lit up again, it was her.

Inexplicably nervous, Sheng Xi took a deep breath before answering the phone.

"Sister Liao, I was just playing a game, I didn't hear you."

"Are you feeling better today?"

"It's okay, that's it."

It was obvious that her tone was a little listless, and she couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Swallowing, Sheng Xi didn't know how to answer, and suddenly fell silent.She suspected that Liao Qingyi was going to hang up the phone in the next second.

"Shall I come and find you?"

Sheng Xi was startled at first, and then realized that Liao Qingyi probably thought she was at home.With hindsight, the two live very close to each other now, and it seems that it takes at most 10 minutes to come here.

While still hesitating, she heard herself say, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xi collapsed on the sofa in frustration, "Why did I agree. My God, what should I do?"

Before she could finish her mental preparation, the doorbell rang.

Sheng Xi secretly sighed that Liao Qingyi had a good memory, last time he only mentioned the floor he lived in, and now he has already reached the door without asking any more questions.

"Sister Liao, you are here."

After taking a deep look at her, Liao Qingyi responded, "En."

"I'm the only one in my family."

Liao Qingyi followed to the living room. As she said, Shengxi's house was full of frigidity, and it seemed that she lived alone.The game interface is still on on the TV in the living room, "gameover"

"Well, what would you like to drink?"

"No, I just came to see you."

Trying to minimize her unnaturalness, Sheng Xi followed suit and sat down on the sofa.Last night inevitably sounded in his head again, and he couldn't hold back a soft sigh.

The room was very quiet, Liao Qingyi listened carefully.

"You seem to be unhappy about something."

She has always been so observant, and she can guess other people's thoughts.Sheng Xi was afraid that she would see his thoughts, subconsciously wanted to deny it, and then nodded again.

"Well, things at home."

She didn't go into details, apparently with a hint of tactful rejection.How could Liao Qingyi not understand what she meant, she just felt a little strange.After seeing each other overnight, Sheng Xi seemed to have changed from the frank and straightforward girl to a young girl with small thoughts.She could sense that it wasn't just because of family affairs.

This perception is not any speculation, just an intuition.

"Did the doctor say how long it will take to recover?"

"Well, about a week."

Probably because he didn't want to see the weird atmosphere between the two, Sheng Xi raised his smiling face, as if he had changed back to the Sheng Xi who was smiling all day long from the state just now.

"It's actually pretty good. All the trips are cancelled. You can rest at home and play games until the dark. Sister Liao, look, I'm playing the one you gave me."

Her tone was lively, and she seemed really happy to have free time as she said, but Liao Qingyi frowned slightly in an instant.

Sheng Xi is holding on.

She didn't know the reason, but probably she didn't want to let herself see the bad side.Liao Qingyi wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he seemed to feel that it was too personal and he had no position.

This knowledge made her a little irritable in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface.

When he spoke, he couldn't feel the thoughts just now, "Then you are beautiful."

"Of course, this is equivalent to annual leave."

Speaking of annual leave, the Chinese New Year is coming soon after the Gregorian New Year.Liao Qingyi was about to go to the Spring Festival Gala, and had already entered the rehearsal stage. The rest of the time was almost running around on the TV station, so he didn't have much free time.

"It's good that you are happy to be at home."

Sheng Xi chuckled, and was really happy inside.

"Sister Liao, are you going to the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Well, just sing a song."

"I want to sing! Then I look forward to it."

Afterwards, the two of them just chatted briefly about some work matters. Liao Qingyi saw that Shengxi looked a little tired, so he didn't say anything more, and left after staying for a while.

The house was quiet again in an instant, as if no one had been here at all just now.Only the familiar fragrance in the air is left.

Sheng Xi stayed in the living room for a few more minutes before taking out his cell phone and making a call.

"Are you back? Come to my house with something to eat."

Knowing that the Internet is going upside down, Sheng Xi doesn't even bother to open Weibo, so he simply acts as a shopkeeper.Anyway, with Pei Lingning and Chen Junyang, she wasn't worried at all.

When Lin Han came in with food, Sheng Xi was only watching a movie, but if you looked carefully, her eyes were clearly on other places, obviously she was in a daze.

"The Internet is about to explode, and you, the client, still have the leisure time to watch movies at home."

Sheng Xi took the food and arranged them on the coffee table one by one, "What can I do, is it that the one in the video is not me?"

The tone was obviously a little angry, even a little rushed.

As soon as Lin Han heard it, she knew that she was in a bad mood, obviously because of other things, and this was just the time to vent her anger.

"Did Auntie tell you about that again?"

"Well, keep talking."

"Do you understand the strategy of slowing down the army? Don't refuse directly. It's not that you don't know her temper. She will take the soft and not the hard."

Sheng Xi snorted softly to express her approval, then stopped talking, and concentrated on eating. She had barely eaten since last night, her head was running fast without stopping for a moment, and she was so hungry right now.

Seeing her wolfing down, Lin Han simply didn't talk to her, and turned to watch the movie.

Only now did she realize that it was actually an early film by Liao Qingyi.

She had only heard that the movie had won many awards, but she hadn't actually seen it. Although she had watched half of it, she watched it with relish.

In the room, there was only the sound of rustling and pulling the packing bag, and the dialogues of the characters came from the stereo from time to time.Sheng Xi heard Liao Qingyi's voice and subconsciously raised her head to look. She was looking tenderly at the male lead in the film.

Throwing the chicken leg in his hand into the box with a bang, he simply took off his gloves and refused to eat it.The loud movement attracted Lin Han's attention, "My eldest lady, what's the matter?"

Sheng Xi knew that he had overreacted just now, but he still couldn't calm down.Taking two deep breaths, I asked an irrelevant question, "What do you think of Liao Qingyi?"

"How about what?"

Lin Han frowned, and asked back with some puzzlement.

Sheng Xi sighed, knowing that he was a little too harsh on his friends.All of a sudden, his expression softened again, and he hugged his knees and curled up silently, with a slight aggrieved expression.Lin Han really couldn't see his friend's abnormality, and couldn't bear to yell at her, so he asked softly, "Xixi, what's the matter?"

The mother's coercion, and the uneasiness and bewilderment in my heart, all disintegrated in a whisper from my friend.

She raised her head to look at Lin Han, "Ah Han, I like Liao Qingyi."

Chapter: Chapter 40

There was only the smell of food in the air, and there was a long silence as if no one was in the room at all.

Lin Han understood what she meant, so he opened and closed his mouth, but still couldn't ask anything.She looked at Sheng Xi and understood that this was not a joke or a whim.

They grew up together, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they can understand each other with just one look.

Since high school, Sheng Xi has had her own opinions.What kind of people to make friends with, what to do when she grows up, all of these things are already on her mind.

She has never been confused, but when she said this sentence, it was clearly with confusion.This is completely different from the Sheng Xi in her heart.

"I'm on your side."

He didn't ask why, didn't ask what to do, he just stated his position lightly, as if he would support Sheng Xi no matter what choice he made.

For some reason, Sheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.But the stone in my heart never let go.Hearing his friend's words, his eyes turned slightly red.From the emotions she felt after finding out that she liked her, the emotions that she suppressed in her heart that she was unwilling to bring out, the uneasiness, bewilderment, and even fear.Everything exploded at this moment.

Tears fell without warning.

Lin Han didn't know what she had gone through, but his words made her cry like this.Silently moved over and hugged her, "Don't be afraid, the sisters are here."

Sheng Xi was amused by these words, and couldn't stop her tears all of a sudden, she couldn't help reaching out and hitting her shoulder.

Sheng Xi is not a hypocritical person, and neither is Lin Han.Seeing that she had recovered a bit, he let her go, and took a tissue from the side and passed it over.Silently convey silent support and dependence.

She didn't let herself cry for too long, it took a while for her tears to stop.

"I'm wondering what I should do."

Lin Han's worried expression finally eased a little. When Sheng Xi said this, it showed that she was already thinking about how to solve it.

"Want to chase?"

Received a blank stare from Sheng Xi, who laughed twice, "Sorry, I've been single for too long and have a fixed mindset."

"It's hard, my good sister. Although Liao Qingyi has taken good care of you, you seem to be one of the few people she interacts with in the circle. But don't say I poured cold water on you, what kind of you has she been all this time?" I also know that according to my evaluation from the outside world, I look calm and gentle, and seem to have a good temper with everyone, but
