Destiny

?Originally, the vacation was for a week, but the hurried work call ruined the plan, so I had to go back to S City tomorrow Friday, but Xia Chen also wanted to go back, because Li Lifeng sent him a very serious text message, killing him He has been in a wandering state today.

"Xiaochen, don't be disappointed, let Senyan take you to a better place next time." Fang Yiyang comforted.

Xia Chen smiled. In fact, he was not disappointed at all. Rather, he was content. "Brother Fang, you misunderstood me, I..."

"Going abroad next time." Li Senyan said calmly, Xia Chen didn't want to explain any more, anyway, these people have already fixed him on the fact that Youshen was caused by disappointment.

The day to go home is coming soon, Li Senyan sent him back to Shui'an Huangdu and drove away quickly. It seems that the work is really busy. The appointment was on Saturday, but because of the short-term rest, he was out of his mind. So I called Li Lifeng in advance.

"Xia, you're back."

"Well, are you free now?"

"I'm heading to the place where you live, wait until I get there?" Li Lifeng hung up the phone, stepped on the gas pedal, and rushed towards the waterfront imperial capital.

Xia Chen just packed up the salute, made a pot of tea, the doorbell rang, opened the door, Li Lifeng entered the house with a dozen fruits, and the two chose the back garden as a place to chat.Poured a cup of black tea to Li Lifeng, before he sat down, Xia Chen heard Li Lifeng say: "I met your brother and sister after leaving the beach that day."

Xia Chen raised his head and stared at Li Senyan in shock, then turned his gaze away and said with some fear, "Yes, is it?"

Li Senyan frowned, "Xia, what are you afraid of? No, it should mean that you are afraid of something being known to me."

"How is it possible? Lifeng, you're overthinking." Xia Chen smiled perfunctorily.

Knowing that Xia Chen refused to say it clearly, Li Lifeng realized that the matter behind it was serious, so he stopped being reserved and said seriously: "After we separated that day, I met Xia Yang and Xia Xi within a short distance of you, and it was a coincidence What's more, they also saw the picture of you and your cousin together, and asked me who my cousin is? Xia Xi said cutely about her boyfriend at that time, but what is it like to work as a servant in the Li family? summer."

Shock, heart trembling, Xia Chen was really trembling, he couldn't believe that Li Feng met Xia Yang and Xia Xi, no, this is not the point, the point is that Xia Yang and Xia Xi saw the picture of him and Li Senyan together, could it be that they ...

"Don't worry, I didn't explain the relationship between you and your cousin. I think you must have your reasons for not telling Xia Yang and Xia Xi. Xia, since you said that we are friends, should you tell me the reason? I don't want to be someone who doesn't know anything to help you realize this lie."

Looking up, she stared at Li Lifeng in amazement. Under the stern gaze of the other party, Xia Chen had no choice but to lower her eyes and smile bitterly, "Anyway, thank you for helping me hide the matter between me and Yan. It's a long story. ,I……"

"I won't tell anyone. You have helped me a lot with my affairs. It is considered a favor. This chance meeting let me know the secret you should have hidden. As a friend, all I can do is to help you at critical moments. you."

In fact, Xia Chen knew that when Li Lifeng helped him hide it, he believed that Li Lifeng was on his side, and even if he said it, he would not tell anyone.They looked at each other, leaving only trust and firmness for each other, silent for a long time, and finally spoke.

Xia Chen explained very carefully, from the stepmother's abuse of the three siblings, from Xia Xi's heart attack to Li Guangrong's use of a contract marriage contract to treat her sister's heart attack, and then to the failure of the contract to fulfill the year's contract marriage. Tell Li Lifeng without missing a single word.

Li Lifeng could have an expression other than shock or shock. When the last words ended, his face was a little sad. A person who changed his fate because of a piece of paper thought it was a scene in a novel, but he did not expect to meet him. Can explain why Xia Chen said it was undeniably for money when they first met.

"Do you think I'm cowardly and incompetent, and even used this method in exchange for..."

"It's not your fault. There was no choice in the situation at that time. You just chose to protect Xia Xi. Xia, it's not your fault."

"But I never told my Xia Yang and Xia Xi, so it's still my fault. The fault is that I can't use the truth to pierce this lie." Xia Chen smiled sadly, and Li Lifeng suddenly hated himself for wanting to know the truth. .

Now that I really think about it, Li Lifeng understands Xia Chen's actions, but if he knows about it, then Xia Yang, Xia Xi and even Li Senyan will also know about it. He can't believe what will happen after the truth. The practice was a little unhappy.

"May I ask, do you want to tell my cousin about this?" Xia Chen's trembling body was enough to prove that it was impossible to tell, but combined with his years of understanding, "My cousin doesn't like people who deceive him, you should know. "

Of course Xia Chen knew that Li Senyan had clearly explained to him that there is no difference between not hiding anything from him and not being allowed to deceive him, but... "I can't say, the contract says I can't expose this matter, although it is ridiculous, but I don't want to be someone who doesn't keep their promises."

The excited Xia Chen Li Lifeng understood that since he signed the contract, there must be conditions, and he knew that although his grandfather was upright, he couldn't do well in the mall without any means. He sighed and asked in surprise again , "Xia, have you and your cousin already been married, why are you willing to agree to it? What are you going to do if your younger siblings find out about this? And my cousin..."

Blushing means that there is no need to say the first question, and biting your lips means that you don’t know what to do?Li Lifeng didn't want to know about the last topic related to Li Senyan.Staring at the black tea in the cup, he asked, "Do you like my cousin?"

Xia Chen blushed, looked up at the sky, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I have experienced so many things since I was a child, so that I am ignorant and ignorant about emotions. I don't even know whether I like women or men. After signing that contract, I will Knowing that I can't escape the fate of getting involved with a man. I thought I might be able to survive this year without getting involved, but... until now, I can only say that I am not interested in men, nor in women. Dare to be interested."

"But you are interested in my cousin." Li Senyan calmly continued the last sentence.

Xia Chen doesn't nod, it doesn't mean he denies it, some words are not suitable for explaining, at least in this mood, Xia Chen really can't say that he likes Li Senyan.

"I will help you hide it. One more person will help you more. Don't worry, if my cousin finds out and blames you, I will shake my fist away." Li Lifeng firmly made a fist gesture .

Xia Chen smiled, "Thank you."

"Thank you so I don't need to talk about it. If I really want to say something, I have to thank you."

"Hehe, forget it, it would be strange not to say thank you."

"You're right. Friends don't need thanks." Li Lifeng said with a smile. Xia Chen closed his eyes and exposed the corners of his mouth. The warm scene was what Li Senyan saw later. There was no roaring, no dissatisfaction, and a quiet To this warm picture.

It was Li Lifeng who came to his senses first, and stood up in amazement, and then Xia Chen who stood up in amazement was quite nervous. Li Lifeng knew the reason for the nervousness, and he was also worried whether Li Senyan had heard the conversation between them.

"Cousin."

Li Senyan nodded and sat on the chair. Xia Chen said nervously, "Yan, I..."

"No need to explain, I know."

The two panicked, what do you know?Speaking of when Li Senyan came in, the two of them were so focused that they didn't know, and they waited for Li Senyan's next words in fear.

The atmosphere was tense and delicate, and the faces of both of them were too obvious. Li Senyan pulled Xia Chen to sit down, and said with a serious expression: "I said I would trust you."

Trust is good, but the main point is not clear. This nervousness still hasn't been erased from Xia Chen's heart. In order not to be discovered, Li Lifeng said first: "I heard that my sister-in-law is back. I have never had a chance. A few days ago, I was at the beach. After the coincidence, I have always wanted to come and thank you, and by the way, I am sorry for causing a lot of trouble to you, cousin, and so is sister-in-law."

"After that incident, I thought about it a lot. For so many years, I also had my faults. This incident is over. Don't talk about it in the future. Also, you are the same age as Chen, just call your name in private." Tranquility As he spoke, he also apologized to Li Lifeng by the way. Xia Chen and Li Lifeng were dumbfounded and relieved at the same time. It should be because they didn't hear the conversation between them.

Li Senyan didn't care about Li Lifeng's surprise, he turned to Xia Chen and said, "It's almost noon, it's better to go out to eat at home."

"Ah, the house is all right. I'll go cook. Lifeng, you can stay and have dinner together."

Li Lifeng was surprised. He looked at Li Senyan and didn't refuse, but he didn't dare to say yes.

"Then stay here." This is the first time that Li Senyan stayed with Li Lifeng for dinner. Li Lifeng was shocked, but also very relieved. If there was a gap between him and Li Senyan, it completely collapsed today, just like Xia Chen As I said, calm down and talk about it, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.He smiled wryly, and replied briskly, "Okay."

Xia Chen was very happy that the estrangement between Li Senyan and Li Lifeng had disappeared, so she got up with a smile and went back to the house to prepare food in the kitchen, leaving the space for the two cousins ​​to communicate.Putting on the apron, I took out the vegetables I used at noon today from the refrigerator, my hands still couldn't help shaking while washing the vegetables, I turned off the tap, and let out a deep breath.

Great, I didn't hear, Li Senyan didn't hear the conversation between him and Li Lifeng.Xia Chen couldn't imagine what expression Li Senyan would show if he heard their conversation, anger, sarcasm, a slap in the face, or cold eyes without saying anything, no matter what it was, Xia Chen could not bear it now.

Li Senyan stood at the door of the kitchen and stared at the busy Xia Chen's back, frowning tightly, holding back what he wanted to say.Turning around, he took a look at Li Lifeng who was sitting in the living room watching TV, and walked upstairs. He would wait for Xia Chen to tell him in person, what does that thank you to Li Lifeng mean? ?
