The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 74

After get off work that day, Huo Xiyin and several colleagues went to see Chen Yu's family.His eyes were full of unfamiliar faces, but without exception, they all had dignified expressions.Mama Chen was dressed in dignified and serious black, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she even fainted several times.

Huo Xiyin stood in the midst of sobbing, and suddenly felt that he had returned to two years ago.

At the funeral that day, she was alone, quietly accompanying her through all the procedures, without ambiguity at all.She looked at the uncles and aunts who came to comfort her, even a seven-year-old cousin among them.Her eyes were indifferent, and the indifferent way was even used by the little cousin's mother as a positive example to teach her son to be strong.

Rather than saying that she was strong and calm at the time, it would be better to say that she was extremely numb.

The day before the funeral, she had gritted her teeth and forced Xia Weiyang to promise that their mother and daughter would not show up at the funeral.

At that time, she just said a word to Xia Weiyang, it was very short, but her voice was surprisingly cold, as if she would definitely do what she said.

"Tomorrow's funeral, don't let me see you. Dirty my mother's eyes, you will not feel better."

She admitted that she picked a soft persimmon and squeezed it.Xia Yi is definitely not as easy to be ordered as her daughter.In her eyes, compared to her mother, Xia Weiyang has more foresight and less care, what remains unchanged is beauty.

But she just didn't like her, she didn't like her outright, she rejected her from the bottom of her heart, for no reason.

During that time, Shen Jing was afraid that she would think wildly, so she often took her out, introduced her new friends, went to concerts with her, and even told her very intimate things.

Then there was Ji Zhandong.His level is much higher than that of Shen Jing, he takes her to various strange places, his jokes are humorous and harmless, his attention is close but not offensive, his care is considerate but not artificial, he doesn't care about others His gaze, his voice is deep and sweet, although he has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, it seems that he doesn't often provoke peach blossoms.

Remember one time they accidentally talked about property and passwords.She complained that some unwelcome people tried to ask her a stepping stone to the questions set in her space, but she was unwilling to give it but had to. After hearing this, Ji Zhandong smiled lightly: "I give you a bad move, but it works."

"what?"

He approached her across the glass table, tilted his head, blinked his eyes, and said in a serious and joking way: "You can just set the space question as 'what is the password of my so-and-so bank card'."

"..."

Huo Xiyin once thought that if, just if, one day, even if it was his fault, or even if they separated, maybe she wouldn't resent him too much.After all, he once understood your thoughts, he once understood your eyes, and he once really helped. After all, although that time was wasted, it was not wasted.

A leader comforted Chen's mother with words similar to mourning, and Huo Xiyin twitched her lips. She had heard too many such words two years ago.The matter came too hastily and too thoroughly, she could understand that the leader probably couldn't find anything else to comfort a mother who had just lost her son, and this mother probably also listened to the leader's words. I can't find anything really useful to reduce my tears by half.

Huo Xiyin turned her head and saw Xia Weiyang sitting on the side with her head bowed, her hands folded in the black cuffs, her shoulders trembling slightly, without saying a word.

She couldn't see her expression, the black hair covered Xia Weiyang's side face, leaving only a section of fair neck, she sat there quietly, she was already very thin, but her appearance was even more frail.

Huo Xiyin hesitated for a moment, but still walked over: "Are you okay?"

She asks and despises herself if the sympathy is a bit too much, and at the same time she finds it ironic and pathetic.Just a few days ago, when Xia Weiyang went to her unit to find Chen Yu, she said similar things to her in the bathroom.At first, Huo Xiyin thought she would attend the couple's wedding, but unexpectedly, she would attend the funeral.

Xia Weiyang looked up at her, her eyes were as confused as that of a seven-year-old child.His lips were dry, his face was frighteningly pale, and his appearance was miserable and charming.

"Do you need me to pour you a glass of water?" Huo Xiyin sighed secretly, her question became more and more like what Xia Weiyang said to her that day.

She grabbed her suddenly, and said dryly and hoarsely: "Will you go out for a walk with me?"

They sat down on the cool chairs in the back garden of Chen's house.Xia Weiyang took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his pocket and wanted to light it, but his fingers trembled violently, the flame was clearly extinguishing near the cigarette end, but he couldn't touch the key point.Huo Xiyin gently took the lighter and cigarette from her hand, lit it, and handed it to her.

If this scene is seen by others, whether it is the action, the characters or the location, they will definitely feel very weird.Huo Xiyin tried her best to maintain her calm, Xia Weiyang smiled at her, her lips were pale, her voice was still hoarse: "Do you think it's strange that I smoke?"

"No, it's just not a good habit." After Huo Xiyin finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she insisted on drinking the night she returned to T City from the cemetery, so she felt that she had no position to persuade her.

"I have already learned it in college. Although I am not addicted, I still smoke one occasionally."

"En." She couldn't think of what to say next, so she could only reply with this one word.

They were silent for a while.Huo Xiyin considers herself a qualified listener, but she is not good at guiding others to speak.Xia Weiyang didn't speak, and she didn't know what to say, so she kept silent all the way.

Xia Weiyang lowered her eyebrows and looked at the ground, and suddenly said, "Chen Yuren is very nice and caring. There is no need to say a lot of things, he can even know what other people think and want. Sometimes I really admire him, like I admire..." She paused, then said softly, "Such a person should live a long life."

"He is also very accommodating. Even if he doesn't like to eat sour, sometimes I put too much vinegar in cooking, and he will finish it anyway."

"I've known him for so long, and he's always smiling almost all the time. Even when he's fighting for a stomach bleed and being hospitalized for an IV, he still laughs at himself."

"He is also very patient, and he rarely gets angry with others. In my impression, in the past two years, he seems to have only been in a particularly bad mood twice. One time, he proposed to me on his knees, and I didn't agree on the spot."

"If I had known that the result would be like this, I should have been more cheerful at that time. I just said it casually, but he remembered it, and he really knelt down on one knee, holding up the diamond ring and letting me marry him."

"This kind of scene may be once in a lifetime." She looked forward, her voice became lower and lower, and her expression became dazed. "What did I expect for such a rare occasion?"

Behind them is a garden of the Chen family. Although it is approaching autumn, perhaps because of special maintenance, a large area of ​​colorful flowers in the garden is blooming vigorously.Xia Weiyang stared blankly for a while, suddenly tears fell, she turned her head in embarrassment, but the tears flowed even more fiercely.

Huo Xiyin couldn't bear the beauty's tears, nor could she coax her.Sitting beside her, she could only silently pat her on the back.

Xia Weiyang took a deep breath, choked up and continued, "The last time he got angry was yesterday. I didn't expect him to know everything. I just made a joke, but he actually took it seriously. Going to drink Forget it, he drank so much, he still wants to drive." She covered her eyes, and water flowed down her fingers, "It's my fault, but why did he leave? He shouldn't die. He Going away, I feel like I'm unforgivable, really."

Before this, Huo Xiyin had always vaguely felt that Xia Weiyang and Ji Zhandong were somewhat similar.They all pretended to be impeccable, acted flawlessly, and seemed to be full of good intentions, but because they were too sincere, they always felt that it was a mirage, so they had to believe it or not.But now looking at Xia Weiyang who was crying in a mess, she would rather believe that all her words came from her heart.

Huo Xiyin came home very late that night.She has been in a bad mood lately, with insomnia, dreaminess and loss of appetite.Even though Ji Zhandong made him weak last night, his sleep quality was still poor.But in the oppressive atmosphere of the Chen family just now, she even felt dizzy and cold.

She didn't even eat dinner, so she lay on the bed directly. She seemed to feel the sound of the keyhole turning in the dimness, but before she had time to react, she fell into a coma again.

But she didn't sleep for a long time. When she woke up and looked at her watch, she found that she had only slept for four to ten minutes.But with half of her eyelids opened, she vaguely saw a figure in front of her.Huo Xiyin's heart trembled, she sat up from the bed suddenly, and hurriedly turned on the wall lamp beside her, only to realize that it was Ji Zhandong.

He stretched out his hand to block the sudden light, and after he got used to it, he hooked his lips and smiled at her: "It's really time to wake up. I just ordered takeaway, and it will be delivered soon. Go wash your face."

"...how do you know I haven't eaten?"

"I don't know, I called it for myself." Ji Zhandong kept looking at her with his chin propped up, and he didn't even give the disheveled and sleepy-eyed her a time to tidy up, "I told you yesterday that there is a banquet tonight , I'm afraid you didn't remember to call again today, but no one answered, and then I came directly, and then I found you sleeping on the bed."

"When did you say yesterday that there is a banquet today?"

Ji Zhandong slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Don't you remember when you just finished lunch yesterday?"

Huo Xiyin said firmly: "You didn't say it, did you?"

Ji Zhandong glanced over, speaking more firmly than her: "I said so."

Huo Xiyin was more determined than his tone: "You didn't say that."

Ji Zhandong said concisely: "I said it."

"I didn't say it."

"said."

"No."

"..." Ji Zhandong let out a breath slowly, "Okay, then let's not talk about it. It's getting late anyway, so just don't go."

Huo Xiyin tilted her head to look at his expressionless face, and burst out laughing.Ji Zhandong leaned on the sofa with his arms folded and squinted at her, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Okay, get out of bed and get ready to eat."
