Chapter 386 I Don’t Want to Leave Either
The next day, Xia Nian called Xu Zheng and Tao Tao early in the morning, and the three of them went to Meng Yin's house together.
Meng Yin's waist was still hurting and she just wanted to lie in bed. The three men didn't force her and held a small meeting beside her bed.
Seeing Xia Nian's serious and nervous expression, the three of them couldn't help but be solemn.
"Did something happen?" Tao Tao asked.
Xia Nian took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "It's about us going back."
After these words were spoken, the three of them held their breath.
Xia Nian took out the book and turned to the middle page. Sure enough, the number was still twenty-nine.
"Twenty-nine? What does this mean?" Xu Zheng frowned.
Meng Yin screamed, and the spoon in her hand fell into the bowl with a tinkling sound.
"Could it be... the countdown for our return?" Meng Yin asked.
Xia Nian continued, "I'm not sure either, but I think it's most likely a countdown. When I saw the number last night, it was thirty. After midnight, it became twenty-nine."
"Damn, it can't really be..." Xu Zheng covered her mouth, unwilling to say any more.
She already has a handsome husband with rich white hair, and now you tell her to go back? What are all the efforts before that?!
Tao Tao suddenly became sad, tears welled up in her eyes, and she said weakly: "Last night Ah Qing told me... that we would get married after the Spring Festival."
"Oh my god, what the hell is this old man doing? Is he trying to play a trick on us?" Xu Zheng said angrily.
We asked them to come without notifying them. Now that this has happened, aren't you deliberately trying to make them unable to eat or sleep well?
Xia Nian frowned and said, "Maybe... this is not the countdown to go back? It's something else."
The four of them fell silent. If it wasn’t a countdown, then what was it?
Meng Yin said: "If it's really a countdown, how are we going to tell them? Gu Ling will definitely not be able to bear it."
"Why don't we find a suitable opportunity? Besides, we're not really sure about this." Xia Nian said.
"In this case, we have to confess our life stories to them," Tao Tao said.
The three of them nodded. This matter had to be told no matter what. If it was true, they should be mentally prepared.
Meng Yin thought for a moment and whispered, "There are still twenty-nine days left. Let's talk to them after we get to Jincheng. Is that okay?"
Xia Nian nodded: "We will have to face it sooner or later. Besides, this matter has already affected us. Gu Lingyiqing is fine. Xiahou Yu has already realized that something is wrong. Not to mention Pei Xuanxi."
The three of them looked at Xu Zheng. There was no way she could hide this from Pei Xuanxi.
"No, I don't want to leave Pei Xuanxi!" Xu Zheng hugged Tao Tao beside her and howled loudly, "Damn old man, we finally got rich in the modern world, and he brought us here, and now we finally have a good life here, but now he's sending us back, does he want to be beaten?!"
Although what Xu Zheng said was somewhat funny, when the three people heard it, it was filled with sadness.
In modern times, they have no one to rely on but each other, and finally they have made a career. One is a karate champion, one is a dancer, one runs a studio, and one is an intern in a hospital.
Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, all those became a thing of the past. Holding on to the idea that there would be no obstacles that they could not overcome as long as they were together, in this world, they were finally no longer helpless and met the people who could accompany them for the rest of their lives.
Now, if we tell them that they may have to go back to live a lonely life, who can bear it?
Xu Zheng kept wailing, Meng Yin also lowered her head, Tao Tao comforted Xu Zheng and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, even Xia Nian couldn't stand this kind of thing.
After finally calming down, Xia Nian said, "Let's not be sad yet. After all, it hasn't happened yet."
Meng Yin also raised her head: "Yeah, maybe we can negotiate terms with the old man, otherwise are we working for nothing?"
The three of them agreed. After a while, the maid called them to eat. Xia Nian stood up and whispered, "Don't show any abnormality." She patted Xu Zheng's shoulder and said, "Don't be anxious, A Zheng."
Xu Zheng nodded and could only try to hide her sad face.
Fortunately, the meal went peacefully. After the meal, Meng Yin didn't want to lie down all the time, so the four of them went for a walk in the garden together.
In the garden, Duan Yan was playing football with Ye Man. When they saw them, they waved at the four of them from a distance.
This peaceful scene made the four people even more worried.
In the following days, the four of them held on to the idea of living each day to the fullest, and did not show any sadness. Instead, they just stuck to them more, which made the men very happy.
It snowed that day, the ground was covered with silver, and the temperature dropped sharply. Except for Xu Zheng, the other three were afraid of the cold, so they played in the snow for a day and returned to the house in the evening.
The day in the book had turned to twenty. Xu Zheng felt sad. She felt even sadder when she saw Pei Xuanxi when she returned. She was walking alone on the street and happened to meet Mo Ning.
After Mo Ning went to the wedding banquet with Ye Qingliang, she was not in a hurry to go back. Today, she went out on the street alone. When she saw Xu Zheng, she ran up to her from a distance and asked, "Madam, why are you walking on the street alone? Where is Ah Yan? Why don't you have someone to protect you? I'll go ask."
As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves. Ever since Xu Zheng was poisoned, she had seen Xu Zheng lying lifeless on the bed, and she had been afraid that something might happen to her.
Now she looked vicious and as if she was going to hit someone, like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
Xu Zheng's nose felt sore, and she stopped her and said, "Don't go. I told them not to follow me, and I was just out for a stroll. Why are you alone?"
Mo Ning replied, "I had a quarrel with Dead Leaf, and he didn't want to bother with me, so he came out to drink and watch the show."
When Xu Zheng heard this, she smiled and said, "Well, I want to drink too. Let's drink together."
Mo Ning suddenly became excited and went to the restaurant hand in hand with Xu Zheng.
A Yan saw this on the roof and reported it to Pei Xuanxi.
Pei Xuanxi thought for a moment. It was cold outside and he was afraid that Xu Zheng would be cold. However, Xu Zheng and Mo Ning were having a good time and she definitely didn't want to come back with him.
So Pei Xuanxi decided to pick her up when the time was almost up.
In the private room of the restaurant, Xu Zheng and Mo Ning were drinking happily. Both of them were very straightforward, and they talked back and forth without making any connection. There was no dull moment at all, and they even laughed out loud from time to time.
Mo Ning was like a little girl who had not grown up. She held the bottle of wine and talked to Xu Zheng about this and that. Xu Zheng looked at her flushed face and felt very sad.
Thinking back to when they first met, Mo Ning disliked her and they almost got into a fight. Who would have thought that they could now sit together and drink meat.
Xu Zheng said dazedly: "Mo Ning, do you think Pei Xuanxi will fall in love with someone else after I leave?"
Mo Ning was stunned. Although she was not clear-headed, she still heard Xu Zheng's words and asked in confusion, "Madam, what are you talking about? Why did you leave? And how could the host fall in love with someone else?"
Xu Zheng smiled weakly: "I know that, but I... But Pei Xuanxi is so outstanding, there will definitely be people who like him, and I can't control it then."
"Oh, ma'am, don't worry." Mo Ning put his hand on her shoulder, "The host will not fall in love with someone else, and why would you leave?"
Both of them were dizzy. Mo Ning did not notice the sadness on Xu Zheng's face, nor did he think about her words. He just thought that she was drunk and felt a little melancholy.
Xu Zheng said, "I don't want to leave either... I..." She lay on the table, and Mo Ning couldn't hear what she said afterwards. She smiled and said, "Madam, you've had too much to drink."
She looked at the sky outside. It was already very late and the store would be closing if she didn't leave now.
"Madam, it's time for us to go." Mo Ning stood up, staggering and almost falling. She held Xu Zheng's arm, and the two of them walked down, supporting each other.
There were few people in the restaurant. When the waiter saw them like this, he hurried to help. Mo Ning waved his hand, took out some silver from his pocket and gave it to him, saying, "No need to change."
The waiter was delighted and escorted the two to the door.
