Chapter 9
For some reason, as soon as she got into Shen Qing's car, Xu Yi felt relieved.Obviously this is one of the traffic jams, but this small space gives Xu Yi a feeling of being separated from the outside world.Where did her inexplicable sense of security come from?Because of Shen Qing?Xu Yi glanced at Shen Qing, and wanted to laugh at herself.How could she have the right to regard Shen Qing as a source of security.
Shen Qing noticed her gaze and raised his eyebrows, which probably meant to say, what are you looking at me for.
Xu Yi turned her head away and averted her gaze.
She wanted to hide at this time, but Shen Qing refused.
Shen Qing said bluntly: "Do you think you are still seventeen or eighteen?"
Xu Yi was stunned.
Shen Qing said: "Speak directly if you have something to say."
Xu Yi wanted to laugh, after all these years, Shen Qing is still this bad-tempered, he pays attention to efficiency when doing things, even when talking to her.Xu Yi suddenly became more relaxed, she bent her mouth, looked at Shen Qing, and said, "Why are you here?" Xu Yi asked, "To see a doctor?"
Shen Qing twitched the corner of his mouth, said with an ah, "Yes, I'm sick, come see a doctor."
Shen Qing really felt that she was sick.She sent Zhao Shi home today, and finally went home by herself, lying on the sofa, feeling that it was impossible.It was not known whether it was the brain or the body which moved first, but when Shen Qing realized it, she was already on her way to the hospital.
The car was parked in front of the hospital, and he received a fine, and was scolded by the aunt who guarded the road.Just like that, Shen Qing didn't leave, but stayed on guard.She told herself that she did this to see who Xu Yi married and what her daughter was like, that's all.Who would have thought that after waiting for a long time, they could only see Xu Yi coming out of the hospital in a daze from a distance, with tears in his eyes, standing at the crossing, bewildered.
Shen Qing felt as if his heart was being pinched fiercely by a hand, that hand weighed tens of thousands of catties, causing Shen Qing to be so painful that he couldn't breathe.When did Xu Yi cry like this?Shen Qing searched her brain, and among all the memories about Xu Yi, she couldn't find the content of her crying like this.In the past, in order to tease her, she liked to fake cry, squeezed out two golden peas with all her might, so she clamored for her to coax her.If she concentrates on her homework, Xu Yi will cry even louder, and for some reason in the end, she will be really angry and cry loudly.Once Shen Qing himself was made to cry by Xu Yi, and the two cried to each other in Xu Yi's rented house.
Xu Yi clamored and said, Shen Qing, you don't love me, you just do your homework and ignore me.
Shen Qing also cried, and said, Xu Yi, are you annoying or not? If you don't hand in your homework, I will still hand in your homework.
In the end, both of them felt very funny and laughed again.
Xu Yi seldom cried, and Shen Qing's memories of her were always smiling faces, happy, proud, and clever.
Like today, it seems that the whole person has been emptied of tears, which has never happened before.
Although she hadn't met Xu Yi's husband and daughter yet, Shen Qing had already blacklisted these two in her heart.Why didn't Shen Qing's mood improve even after seeing her not doing well?
So Shen Qing felt that he was sick, and he was still seriously ill.
Xu Yi didn't understand the implication of Shen Qing's words, and asked with a little worry: "Is your health not good?"
Shen Qing sneered, not wanting to talk much, she turned the steering wheel and asked Xu Yi, "Where are you going?"
Xu Yi looked dull and said, "A milk tea shop nearby?"
Shen Qing was quite surprised, and asked: "Do you like drinking milk tea?"
Xu Yi shook his head and said, "I haven't drunk much."
"Oh." Shen Qing said, "Give me 3 minutes."
She pulled over the car, turned on her mobile phone, downloaded a Dianping, entered the word milk tea, and then searched by rating and distance.HEYTEA is quite close, but there are many people.Shen Qing took a fancy to Xiaojuan Village, clicked on the map, turned on the navigation, and the car went there.
While driving, Shen Qing threw the phone to Xu Yi, before Xu Yi could react, she heard Shen Qing say, "Choose what to drink later."
Xu Yi held Shen Qing's cell phone, it was very light, but it was inexplicably hot.
Shen Qing glanced at her, "Why are you standing there? Look."
Xu Yi stretched out her fingertips to swipe on the screen, scrolling down line by line, with so many tricks that dazzled her.She asked Shen Qing: "What are you drinking?"
Shen Qing shook his head, "I don't drink."
Xu Yi let out an oh, flipped through the phone, clicked on one casually, and handed it to Shen Qing.Shen Qing was driving, caught it and took a look, then threw it onto the small platform where the mobile phone was placed.Along the way, neither of them spoke again.
At the intersection of the traffic lights, a row of cars was blocked, Shen Qing looked at the situation in front of him, picked up the phone, did not know what he was doing, and quickly placed an order.
When they arrived at the store, their milk tea was ready.Shen Qing walked over with two cups of silk tofu milk tea, Xu Yi was stunned and said, "I only ordered one cup."
Shen Qing took out the straw, inserted it into the milk tea with a swipe, and handed it to Xu Yi.Xu Yi caught it and said thank you.Shen Qing sat down, opened another cup, aimed at the mouth of the straw, and took a sip.Shen Qing said, "There is an event in the store, buy one get one free." She was embarrassed to say that she wanted to know what the milk tea that Xu Yi drank tasted like.
Xu Yi clearly remembered that she didn't notice this when she looked at the phone interface just now, she wanted to refute, but felt that Shen Qing really didn't need to lie to her about this.Xu Yi took a sip of milk tea, touched the iced cup of noodles, and said to Shen Qing, "Will you give me the QR code later?" She said, "I'll pass it on to you."
Shen Qing hummed, and said, "I didn't intend to invite you either."
Xu Yi was stabbed by the words, but he didn't get angry, and said, "I didn't mean to ask you to invite me either."
Shen Qing raised his head and glanced at her, but didn't answer.The two remained silent.
Xu Yi took a sip of the iced milk tea in front of him. The texture of the silk tofu was a bit soft, and it wouldn't be particularly sweet after one sip, but the cool feeling made Xu Yi feel much more comfortable.Shen Qing looked at the phone with his head buried, as if he was very busy, replying messages all the time.
Shen Qing put down the phone and asked Xu Yi.
"What are you crying about today?"
Her voice was cold, like a winter blizzard.
Shen Qing didn't hide his speech, he didn't know how to make a slight detour, went straight, asked whatever came to his mind.
Xu Yi was a little embarrassed, the cold water on the side of the cup stained her hand.
Shen Qing said again: "Did you find out that you are terminally ill or is your husband going to die?"
Xu Yi glared at Shen Qing in disapproval, and called her name in a low voice: "Shen Qing!"
Shen Qing shrugged and shut up.He didn't show it on the face, but he was even more unhappy in his heart.Xu Yi did not deny the word husband, what does this mean, Xu Yi is really married and had a child with him.How old is the child?Shen Qing looked at Xu Yi, she was only thirty, no matter how you looked at it, the child was no more than six or seven or eight at most.
Xu Yi also looked at Shen Qing, and wanted to tell Shen Qing all about her current situation, but she couldn't.In what capacity is she going to say these words?friend?Ex-girlfriend?Xu Yi, Xu Yi, you are so funny.Maybe Shen Qing didn't want to hear about her parents' short-sighted troubles.What's more, Xu Yi still wanted to keep something in Shen Qing's heart that belonged to the brilliant and proud self in the past.Talking about these troubles about parenting will open up the world of the two of them.She was like an elderly mother, while Shen Qing was completely different from her.
Xu Yi was dumb for a moment, not knowing how to answer Shen Qing's question.
Shen Qing glanced at her and read her: "Stop drinking, it's all over." Shen Qing frowned, "It's so noisy."
It's so fierce.
Xu Yi glanced at Shen Qing, not knowing where the mood came from, took a sip even harder, and the empty straw made a sound.Not to be outdone, Shen Qing sucked on his own straw, trying to make a sound to retaliate against Xu Yi, but for a moment he forgot that he hadn't finished his milk tea yet.With such a sudden inhalation, the milk tea choked into Shen Qing's throat, and Shen Qing coughed uncontrollably.Xu Yi hurriedly pulled the toilet paper for her, then got up and patted her on the back naturally.Xu Yi's movements were gentle but not lacking in strength. After patting along for a while, Shen Qing was finally out of danger.
Xu Yi handed the paper to Shen Qing again: "Wipe wipe."
All of her movements were so natural that Shen Qing was in a trance.Her back seemed to still have the temperature from Xu Yi's touch, through the clothes, it was so hot that it made her lose her mind.Xu Yi's gentle voice still rang in her ears, she was asking her: "Are you okay?"
Shen Qing couldn't speak, she still felt a foreign body sensation in her throat, this foreign body sensation was like an unexpected love that suddenly squeezed into her life.
Shen Qing pushed Xu Yi away, got up from her bewildered expression, picked up a tissue and coughed violently twice again.Shen Qing finally recovered as before.
Shen Qing looked at Xu Yi and said, "I'll take you home."
Xu Yi's temples ached when she heard the word "go home", but she couldn't refuse Shen Qing's proposal.She said yes.
Shen Qing drove her home, Xu Yi sat in the passenger seat, did not speak, turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.When he was about to arrive, Shen Qing took out his mobile phone, and there was a WeChat QR code on it.Xu Yi didn't understand at first, but after Shen Qing said three words, Xu Yi understood immediately.
Milk tea money.
Xu Yi added Shen Qing's WeChat and walked to the gate of the community.Shen Qing was sitting in the car, watching her from afar.Xu Yi's back became more and more blurred, and turned into a young girl.Shen Qing felt that he might have drunk a cup of milk tea, otherwise how could his eyesight be so blurred, and he could see the moonlight falling from Xu Yi's body in the moonless night.The place on her back that she touched still had a scalding temperature like a fire.Something started threading threads from her back.She thought of the past like a dream, the afternoon of a teenager, under the scorching sun, Xu Yi was wearing a tulle nightgown, lying beside her, her fingertips gently running down her spine from the back of her neck.She teased her like a cat.
How did it all end then?
Fireworks exploded in Shen Qing's brain, she changed her sitting position, suppressed the grievances welling up in her heart, grabbed the steering wheel, and drove away without looking back.
Her eyes are like a certain lane in the dark night, deep and bottomless.
When Xu Yi turned around, there was nothing left behind.
She shook her head in a self-deprecating manner, picked up her phone and looked at it, Shen Qing hadn't passed her friend application yet.
