The cold president's sweet pet is a cute little girl
Chapter 10 Liu Mengsheng's Trouble
It was almost dawn when Yu Xi stumbled back to the apartment where he and Xiaoxiao lived.
He was drenched in sweat, looked disheveled and depressed.
She was in a daze and didn't know what to do next.
My eyes are dry and red from crying for too long.
In the quiet night, I saw the neon lights of the city through the glass window.
I felt like I was isolated from the world in another dark space, feeling lonely and confused.
I don’t know how much time passed, but suddenly, a piece of soft music sounded in the darkness.
Breaking the silence in the room, Yu Xi listened in a daze to the ringing tone of a cell phone coming from the small bag.
My fingers couldn't stop shaking, and a sense of anticipation surged in my heart, as if injecting a hint of unconcealable hope into the edge of despair.
"Didn't he lose his contact information?"
She was unsure and afraid to open the zipper, but she was also anxious to know if the ringing of her cell phone was from him.
Hesitation, helplessness, timidity, expectation, all kinds of feelings in the heart converge into one, and finally converge into an unwarranted courage.
He closed his eyes and unzipped his pants. The sound was like a knife, cutting a hole in Yu Xi's numb heart.
He reached into the small bag with trembling hands, clenched his hands, took out the items, and suddenly opened his eyes.
When he saw the identity of the caller displayed on the phone screen, he smiled bitterly to himself.
What on earth was he expecting? He was such a rational person, and now he didn't even remember me, so how could he suddenly contact a woman who inexplicably asked him to marry?
My condition is so bad, Xiaoxiao will be worried.
He coughed lightly, took a deep breath, and calmed himself before answering the phone.
"Xiao Xi, why did you take so long to answer the phone?"
Yu Xi explained weakly in a low voice:
"I was watching TV just now. My phone was far away and the TV volume was too loud, so I couldn't hear it clearly."
Leng Xiaoxiao always felt that the voice from Yu Xi on the phone sounded listless. Thinking it might be because she had been watching TV series for too long, she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Seeing Xiaoxiao no longer asking questions, Yu Xi felt relieved and changed the subject, asking:
"Have you settled everything there? How many days will you be there to shoot?"
Leng Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, flipping through the lines to be filmed tomorrow with one hand, while answering:
"Everything is settled. The itinerary is expected to take about three days. What were you watching on TV just now? Did you cry again?"
Yu Xi did not deny it. Xiaoxiao's ears were very sensitive. Although she did not continue to ask, she must have heard the dry and uncomfortable sound of her own voice.
"Yes! I am only interested in idol dramas. Isn't it normal to be moved to tears by the male and female protagonists? Don't worry about it."
I remembered that I had agreed with Xiaoxiao in the afternoon to reply to messages on WeChat, but when I took a look at WeChat on my phone, there was no message from Leng Xiaoxiao.
It's already late at night and she just called back. She must have been delayed by something.
If they travel all the way, the city is not far from where Leng Xiaoxiao and the others are going.
It's only a two-hour drive, and logically, after such a long time, he should have settled in long ago, and shouldn't have called so late.
Thinking of this, I wondered: "Did you quarrel with him again?"
Yu Xi asked this question, causing her hand that was flipping through the lines to pause for a moment. She raised her slightly red eyes and replied calmly:
"We didn't have a fight. It's just that when I called today, a delicate woman answered the phone. I felt uncomfortable, so I just wanted to call you and chat."
Yu Xi didn't know how to comfort Leng Xiaoxiao's stubbornness. He often said: "Xiaoxiao, he is not a self-disciplined person. You know it very well. Why don't you give up?"
Leng Xiaoxiao had also thought about this question. Why was she so despicable? Every time she thought about breaking up, she couldn't say it clearly when she saw him.
Perhaps only after being hurt all over and completely desperate can one start a new life.
But she didn't want to tell Yu Xi about her abnormality. She was hurt all over by love, and this was her way of giving up.
"You can't give up on a person whose life or death you don't know, so how can I give up on him?"
When Yu Xi heard this, he whispered, "He's still alive."
Yu Xi's muttering was too quiet, and Leng Xiaoxiao didn't hear it clearly, so she asked, "Xiao Xi, what did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Yu Xi cheered up and said, "Nothing, I just kept saying that you always have a reason."
"Xiao Xi, you don't understand. His help was essential for my graduation from college. During that time, he spent every day with me. I will never forget it."
Leng Xiaoxiao was admitted to an average university, and she was only interested in beauty and makeup.
Her family was not satisfied with the fact that she had studied for many years but was admitted to a second-rate school, so they asked her to repeat a year.
But Leng Xiaoxiao was stubborn. She was unwilling to do so, thinking that all the college entrance examination candidates of her class had gone to college and she was the only one who had to repeat her studies.
Besides, it’s not like she failed the college entrance exam. Although this university is not a key school, it still has certain merits. It’s good enough for her to be admitted with her grades.
So she refused to agree to repeat a year. Her father was stubborn and said to Leng Xiaoxiao directly:
"Either you repeat your senior year of high school and get into a good university, or get out of this house. We don't care whether you live or die, and it's none of our business which school you go to."
When Leng Xiaoxiao heard this, she stubbornly left home.
At first I thought that my parents were coming to look for me after I went missing.
But after hanging around for a week, she didn't see any sign of concern from her parents. At that time, she couldn't stand this kind of neglect any more, so she went back to the house and took away her important identity information and luggage.
With only a few hundred dollars in pocket money, she desperately needed a place to settle down.
She hung out outside every day and found a job as an apprentice in a beauty salon. The salary was pitifully low, but she just gave her food and accommodation, and she had a place to stay.
She and her boyfriend Liu Qiang met in this beauty salon.
This beauty salon is owned by Liu Qiang's family. Although they greet each other when they visit each other frequently, they are not familiar with each other.
But one day when she was on a break, she went out shopping and came back late. She was blocked on the road by a group of hooligans who molested her. Liu Qiang saw her and helped her drive away the group of people. That's how Leng Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiang became acquainted.
At that time, Liu Qiang noticed that Leng Xiaoxiao disappeared every time it was break time, so he was curious and followed her.
It seems that she didn't go out to play, but found a place to set up a stall and do manicures for girls.
Liu Qiang asked her: "You haven't even finished your apprenticeship yet, how can you do nail art for others privately?
And when you were an apprentice, you signed an agreement that you couldn't take private jobs outside. If I told my mom, you would definitely lose your apprenticeship job."
At that time, Leng Xiaoxiao was very scared when she heard this, but thinking of her tuition fees, she still plucked up the courage to reply:
"Although I haven't graduated yet, my nails are beautiful! I didn't put up your sign outside, so please don't tell Aunt Liu, okay?
I was really short of money. If I only worked as an apprentice, I wouldn't be able to earn enough to pay for my tuition. I really had no other choice but to open a small stall to do manicures for people."
After Liu Qiang got to know Leng Xiaoxiao, he also knew some of her basic situation.
His mother offered Leng Xiaoxiao such a low salary because she wanted Leng Xiaoxiao to be unable to continue her studies if she couldn't afford the tuition.
This way, you can get a half-skilled apprentice at a low price.
In fact, Liu Qiang knew that his mother had never intended to seriously teach Leng Xiaoxiao the contents of beauty and hairdressing.
Although he knew about it and had told his mother about it, he was powerless after all, and his mother ignored Liu Qiang.
He felt uncomfortable watching Leng Xiaoxiao busying around.
This girl is pretty, but she is setting up a stall in such a messy market. Liu Qiang can't stand it, so he said:
"But it's not a good idea to keep going like this! The summer vacation is already halfway over, and my mom often comes here to buy things. Sooner or later, she will find out about you, and then it will be more trouble than it's worth.
Although you can earn money from this manicure, it is impossible to raise enough money for your tuition. You should think of other ways."
"I have no other options except to do manicures."
"I'll give you some advice."
……
Yu Xi's voice reached Leng Xiaoxiao's ears, interrupting her memories and even adding a bit of sharpness.
"Ke Xiaoxiao, you really can't just go with the flow like this. If you continue like this, you will be ruined. Your career and your life will be ruined by him.
He is no longer the kind person he used to be. He has changed in this big melting pot of society.
Xiaoxiao, give up, don't insist on it anymore, he will destroy you, he will really destroy you."
Yu Xi said angrily, with a somewhat crazy look on his face, and kept muttering, "Give up! Xiaoxiao! Give up! Give up!"
Yu Xi's words were like a sharp knife, piercing through Leng Xiaoxiao's whitewashing. She asked back:
"Yu Xi, what are you talking about? I won't give up. Why are you so intense today? You're not like this usually."
After saying this, Leng Xiaoxiao felt a little regretful. Yu Xi was not like this usually. What happened made her emotions fluctuate so drastically? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
In the past, when I encountered unhappy things, I couldn’t find anyone to talk to, and only Yu Xi would listen quietly.
Even though I sometimes disagree with her actions, I would just give her some gentle advice and never hurt her.
He would not attack me with harsh words like he did today. This is also the reason why Leng Xiaoxiao communicated with Yu Xi.
Yu Xi also realized her own gaffe. She knew very well that she was not asking Leng Xiaoxiao to give up, but herself to give up.
Things have changed and he is no longer the lover he once was. Maybe this is just an obsession of mine.
Persuading Xiaoxiao was just a way for me to find a righteous outlet for venting my feelings.
I shouldn't do this. It is hurtful to my friend. Xiaoxiao is an adult. She is so smart and doesn't need anyone to tell her what to do.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I didn't mean it just now, I just encountered something unhappy today.
I was so emotionally affected by the TV show that I lost control and started talking nonsense. I'm sorry, Xiaoxiao, I shouldn't have pointed fingers like that. Can you forgive me?"
Yu Xi didn't mind her own question, but took the initiative to apologize, which made Leng Xiaoxiao somewhat shocked.
But Yu Xi's words just now really hurt him. After a moment of silence, Leng Xiaoxiao replied:
"Xiao Xi, there won't be a next time. I'm an adult and I know what I'm doing. No matter what the outcome, I can accept it.
I owe him these, I have to pay them back, I can't escape it."
Yu Xi was relieved to hear this answer, and reminded himself in his heart not to do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
"I understand, Xiaoxiao."
Leng Xiaoxiao didn't want to embarrass Yu Xi because of what she just said, so she changed the subject:
"Let's not talk about me anymore. Let's talk about you! What unhappy things happened to you today that made you need to watch idol dramas in the middle of the night to relieve your emotions?"
As soon as Leng Xiaoxiao said this, Yu Xi retorted defensively: "How can I watch idol dramas to relieve my emotions? I'm just addicted to the newly released TV series."
