When Yu Xi thought about this, her brows relaxed and she asked the driver in front in a cheerful tone.

"Master, where are we now? How long will it take to get to City S?"

The driver was a middle-aged man, about forty years old, slightly plump, of medium height, with a kind face and a warm and cheerful personality.

He stared at the road ahead and only responded to Yu Xi's question after passing the bend.

"Little sister, we are now in Pu County, not far from S City. It takes two hours to drive there. Don't worry, little sister! I will definitely take you home safely.

Just now, my brother was turning a corner and was concentrating on it. He was worried about an accident, so he didn’t respond to you in time! Don’t worry, my brother didn’t respond to you on purpose!”

At first Yu Xi thought that the driver was too disdainful to answer her, but after listening to the driver's explanation, she realized that she was too petty.

Human nature is inherently good, so how can we make arbitrary decisions without understanding the specific circumstances?

Yu Xi doesn't want to become a person who makes arbitrary speculations based on subjective assumptions.

She felt ashamed of her malicious assumptions.

Thinking of this, Yu Xi shouted enthusiastically: "Driver, I didn't see the situation clearly just now and asked arbitrarily. It's my fault. How can I blame the driver for not paying attention to me in time? The driver worked hard to send me back to S City from Yun County and solved my troubles in time. I can't thank you enough. You can't be so uncultured as to care about these small details."

It’s still two hours’ drive to City S. I wonder if Xiaoxiao is in the apartment today?

Thinking of the night before last, Xiaoxiao told herself that she had been very busy in recent days. Although her work place was in S City, she had less time to go back home to stay.

If this is the case, then it is unlikely that Xiaoxiao is in the apartment.

However, if Xiaoxiao was in the house where she lived, she could help pack her luggage.

Thinking of this, Yu Xi felt a little uncomfortable, simply because she didn't know how to tell Leng Xiaoxiao that she was already married and had obtained a marriage certificate.

When they first got the certificate, Yu Xi hesitated, thinking that Leng Xiaoxiao was busy with work and she also needed time to sort out her current situation. She had an excuse in her mind, so she hesitated and didn't speak.

After that, I became more and more hesitant and didn't know how to start.

Although she and Xiaoxiao tacitly agreed not to mention each other's relationship status, they both regarded each other as the person they could rely on in S City.

But now, I impulsively got the marriage certificate and took the lead in entering into marriage, leaving Xiaoxiao alone.

When Yu Xi thought about her own emotional selfishness, she didn't know how to start.

Now Lin Subai is about to return to China, and she must move to the villa before Lin Subai returns.

Yu Xi knew that she was getting married, and she could no longer hide it from Xiaoxiao.

The chaotic thoughts seemed to disappear in an instant, and everything became calm and peaceful.

Yu Xi took out the cell phone from her bag with her left hand, took a deep breath, and dialed Leng Xiaoxiao's number.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm Yuxi, are you busy?"

"Xiao Xi, I just returned to the company. The things I was doing have come to an end, so I have a lot of free time for now.

I was planning to talk to you in the evening and tell you that I was going to Yun County to see you during my break.

How is your arm now? Is it better? Does it still hurt? "

"Xiaoxiao, it doesn't hurt anymore. My arm is in a cast, everything is normal."

Yu Xi paused for a moment and then continued, "Xiao Xiao, I'm going back to City S today. I'm on my way now and will arrive downstairs of our apartment building in two hours."

Leng Xiaoxiao, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Yu Xi's answer and said in a sharp voice: "Xiao Xi, what did you just say? Your arm hasn't healed yet, and you dare to go back alone. Do you want to cause a second fracture? Xiao Xi, when did you become so willful?"

Leng Xiaoxiao's accusation was mixed with worry, which made Yu Xi feel guilty.

Thinking about what he was about to say, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't know how to start.

Leng Xiaoxiao put the script in her hand into a folder while talking to Yu Xi.

There was a moment of silence on the phone. Leng Xiaoxiao stopped what she was doing, lifted a strand of hair and put it behind her ear, then tapped the cover of the folder with her fingers.

His tone was calm and certain: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment and exclaimed “Ah”.

Confess: "Xiaoxiao, how did you know?"

Leng Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, and snorted with a bit of arrogance.

"I've been with you for so many years, and I don't know what virtues you have."

Yu Xi said hesitantly: "I'm worried that if I tell you, you will think I've abandoned you."

Xiaoxiao sneered: "Haha, speak quickly! When did you start to be so hesitant in speaking? Show your straightforward attitude."

Yu Xi swallowed her saliva on the other end of the phone and stammered weakly: "I'm married."

Leng Xiaoxiao was stunned and frowned slightly, thinking that she had heard it wrong.

"I didn't hear you clearly. Can you please repeat yourself? What did you say just now about you?"

Yu Xi said again in a low voice without confidence: "I'm married."

Even though Leng Xiaoxiao was mentally prepared, she was still shocked and surprised when she heard the news.

She took a deep breath and asked carefully: "Are you kidding me about getting married?"

After Yu Xi said this, she suddenly calmed down.

"Xiaoxiao, you heard me right, I'm married, and I've been married for half a month."

Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, then asked calmly and dryly: "Are you happy after marriage?"

"This is the person I want to marry and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him."

"Congratulations, Xiaoxi! I'm not angry that you hid your marriage from me, because you were full of expectations for the future. You must like him very much, which made you make such a hasty decision."

"Xiaoxiao, marrying him is something I have been looking forward to since I entered college. I have been preparing for it for many years. Now it is just a matter of time."

"That's good! But you hid such a big thing from me. Although I'm not angry, I still want you to give me an explanation."

"No problem. I've already prepared it. How about that vintage handbag you liked last time as an apology?"

"That's a good intention. Okay, but when are you going to bring your loved one to see me?"

"This?" Yu Xi replied hesitantly: "I'm not sure about the time. There is still a deep gap and unfamiliarity between him and me. I'm a little hesitant about whether it's appropriate to bring him to meet my bestie all of a sudden."

When Leng Xiaoxiao heard Yu Xi's attitude, her already somewhat disappointed mood became even lower, and she began to worry about her best friend's marriage.

She asked worriedly: "What's going on between you and your husband, Xiaoxi, are you having any problems?"

"Xiaoxiao, he has lost his memory, and the relationship between us is now just a marriage certificate."

"Is he the one who makes you cry often and toss and turn in the middle of the night?"

"It's only with him that I don't worry about the future of my marriage."

"Then I won't ask any more questions. If you need help from your bestie, just give me a shout and I'll come and help you right away."

"Xiaoxiao, my bestie, I need your help with something right now."

"Whatever it is, just speak up. I will never refuse."

"He's coming back from a business trip tonight, and I'm going to move in with him. But as you know, my arm is injured and I can't move around freely, so I need you to help me pack my things."

Xiaoxiao frowned slightly: "Why is it so sudden? I am not prepared at all."

"He and I had agreed on this half a month ago, but things got delayed and I didn't have time to pack my luggage. At that time, I was also hesitant about how to tell you, because I knew in my heart that we depended on each other in S City, and it would be unfair to tell you this all of a sudden."

Leng Xiaoxiao had been in a depressed mood, but was touched by Yu Xi's words, and a moist luster appeared in her strong and calm eyes.

"Why are you so annoying? I've already told you that I'm not mad at you, so why do you still say such sentimental things? Do you want to make me cry?"

Yu Xi heard the sound of Xiaoxiao sniffing on the phone. She looked at the scenery outside the car window and her eyes were also filled with tears.

She and Xiaoxiao have been accompanying each other in S City for more than five years without realizing it. Thinking of her acquaintance with Xiaoxiao, Yu Xi still sighs.

She and Leng Xiaoxiao met in winter. Yu Xi still remembers that at that time, Leng Xiaoxiao was walking barefoot in the snow, her nose and cheeks were red, her eyelashes were covered with icy mist, and she was shivering from the cold.

She had just finished recording a dubbing and was paid 200 yuan.

It was snowing heavily, and pedestrians were coming and going on the road in a hurry. Only Sneer was left, like a dull piece of wood, forgotten by a city, lonely and desperate.

Yu Xi looked at Leng Xiaoxiao's appearance, and she seemed to see her own madness and numbness at that time.

She walked up to Leng Xiaoxiao and hugged her shoulders, taking out the two hundred yuan she had just earned.

"Miss, I'll treat you to a midnight snack."

Leng Xiaoxiao stared at Yu Xi with a dull look in her eyes. She watched Yu Xi's lips opening and closing, and was very confused. This young girl who was talking to her was so strange.

But she was so hurt that she no longer had the energy to respond politely.

Leng Xiaoxiao's reaction made Yu Xi feel indescribably uncomfortable. She had experienced this kind of feeling of total despair, her internal organs were damaged, she was numb with pain, and she had no expectations for the future.

Even if she looked more normal now, it was just a reason for Lin Subai to be alive.

She was unwilling to believe that such a good man like Lin Subai would lose his life because of the flood. He could swim, had a keen sense of danger, and was proficient in all kinds of survival and rescue knowledge. How could he lose his life so easily?

Therefore, Yu Xi believed that Lin Subai was still alive, which was her only insistence.

Yu Xi let go of Leng Xiaoxiao's shoulders and took off her scarf and gloves.

The scarf was wrapped around Leng Xiaoxiao's neck and gloves were put on her hands.

The snowflakes in the sky were getting denser and denser, and the white snow scene hurt her eyes. Leng Xiaoxiao stared at Yu Xi in a daze as she took off her scarf and gloves without saying a word. Just like the yellowish lights on the roadside, it made her feel that there was someone to accompany her loneliness.

After Yu Xi finished, without waiting for Leng Xiaoxiao to reply, she pulled her into her coat and took her to her rented house.

Leng Xiaoxiao did not resist, and they walked all the way to the downstairs of Yu Xi's rented house.

Yu Xi muttered: "Let's go upstairs and put on our clothes, then come down to buy some midnight snacks."

"I want to buy it now. You said you would treat me to a midnight snack."

Leng Xiaoxiao lowered her head and stared at Yu Xi. Her eyes were as cold as ice, without a trace of warmth, only a kind of stubborn persistence.

You can see the bustling night market downstairs, where the midnight snacks include barbecue, fried chicken, hot drinks, spicy hot pot and many other items.

Yu Xi no longer insisted. She wanted to resolve the matter quickly, so as not to delay it any further and keep the two of them in cold rapport for even longer.

However, she was not in a hurry to make a decision herself, and first asked Leng Xiaoxiao's opinion.

"What would you like for a midnight snack?"

Leng Xiaoxiao's pale and colorless lips uttered: "Is there any wine? I want to drink."

The voice was hoarse and colorless, with a hint of coldness.

Seeing this, Yu Xi didn't say anything else and just replied with a simple "OK".

Yu Xi casually bought some barbecue and asked the boss to bring some beer.

Leng Xiaoxiao objected: "I want to drink white wine, only it can make me drunk."

"it is good."

The barbecue would take a while, and seeing Leng Xiaoxiao standing barefoot in the snow made Yu Xi worried.

Fortunately, she lived nearby, only two or three minutes away from where she met Leng Xiaoxiao.

Yu Xi did not delay any longer. She asked the barbecue restaurant owner to deliver the food to her room after the food was ready. The barbecue restaurant owner agreed enthusiastically.

Returning upstairs where Yu Xi lived, she quickly asked Leng Xiaoxiao to sit on the edge of the bed. She went to the kitchen to get some cold water and put it aside, then took out a quilt from the cupboard and wrapped it around her frozen and swollen feet.

After Yu Xi wrapped Leng Xiaoxiao's feet with a quilt, she rubbed them vigorously with her hands.

About half an hour later, Leng Xiaoxiao's frozen feet gradually turned from deep red back to blood red.

The worries in her heart also disappeared instantly.

You should know that freezing your feet in the snow may lead to muscle necrosis and poor blood circulation, which may result in amputation.

"Fortunately, you didn't walk in the snow for too long and your feet weren't completely frozen. If they had been frozen for a longer time, you might not have been able to save your legs."

Leng Xiaoxiao watched Yu Xi carefully and gently put her feet into the cold water. It was icy cold, but it also brought a tingling sensation as the blood slowly flowed.

Her pale face slowly warmed up. She raised her cold eyes and asked with a trembling tongue: "Why are you helping me?"

When Yu Xi heard Leng Xiaoxiao's question, he stopped rubbing her feet.

He moved his head slightly: "Why do I need to help others? If I must find a reason, it is because I have a kind heart. I can't bear to see a young and beautiful girl walking alone in the snow. I can't bear it."

Leng Xiaoxiao ruthlessly picked out Chuan Yuxi's reasons.

"You are lying. I sense the same kind of breath in you. Loneliness and despair accompany you."

"How ruthless! What does this have to do with you? Do you live by the river? You are so nosy. I thought I was very kind to a stranger like you, so why do you have to delve into my past?

Tell me, we have been together for such a long time, have I ever wondered why you walked barefoot on the snow like a moron for no apparent reason? "

Yu Xi's righteous questioning stunned Leng Xiaoxiao. She stammered and refuted weakly.

"You, although you didn't ask me directly, you were very curious."

After hearing this answer, Yu Xi admitted directly: "Yes, I am very curious. As a normal person, it is natural to be curious about a young and beautiful girl walking in the snow!"
