Warm and respectful people

After Xia Wen sent Xu Fengmian back, he took a taxi back by himself.

It was late at the apartment, and when she came out of the bathroom wiping her hair, she picked up her phone and saw three missed calls on it.

All from the same number that has not survived.

But this series of numbers is not unfamiliar, Xia Wen knew that it belonged to Luo Ping.

She threw it aside, with no intention of going back.

When she lay down on the bed after drying her hair, the phone rang again. After watching it coldly for a while, the other party still persisted in not hanging up.

Recently, her heart has been a little confused. On the one hand, because of her father's urging, the trivial life makes her occasionally have sporadic thoughts about making a living. If she just finds someone to marry in the end, then it doesn't matter who she finds.

It's not that she has never experienced passionate love, but in the end it just exhausts her physically and mentally. Maybe not having any feelings for a person will keep herself from being hurt forever.

But there is still a trace of unwillingness in her heart, unwillingness to live a boring life with this boring person in her long life in the future.

This unwillingness reached its apex tonight.

Perhaps what Xu Fengmian said is right, she and Lin Yunshen are both fools, people who think a lot about the future of real life, unlike Xu Fengmian who is naturally arrogant and reckless.

Perhaps because of a second of hesitation and compromise, Xia Wen still answered Luo Ping's call.

The person who called first didn't know what to say after the call was connected. He faltered for a while, Xia Wen hung his head and grabbed a disconnected hole on the pillow.

"Is that person tonight really your friend?" Luo Ping mustered up the courage to ask what was in his heart.

The person and the car today surprised him very much. Both the person and the car were full of arrogance, and it was the kind of arrogance with capital.

It is incompatible with the docile Xia Wen outside.

Luo Ping knows that Xia Wen is good-looking, although men have different preferences for girls, but probably no man would think that Xia Wen is not beautiful.

The beautiful and obedient girl has a stable job, and the small shortcoming of being from a single-child family satisfies his machismo's protective desire.

Such Xia Wen is his ideal future partner.

He thought she was just an ordinary little girl, a girl who could handle a few meals, nice flowers, and some luxury gifts during festivals.He has seen too many things like this.

But the appearance of this person caught him off guard tonight, and the last time he met a woman eating ice cream with Xia Wen in the mall.

They had hurt his male pride.

Luo Ping chuckled a few times: "Your friend has quite a personality."

Xia Wen actually didn't know how to continue this conversation, she said truthfully: "She is my very good friend."

This time the conversation did not exceed 2 minutes, and there was a large blank in the middle.

After Luo Ping finally hung up the phone, he comforted himself. Even if the other party had a lot of background, he was just a good friend at best and would not pose a threat to him.

In the next half month, Luo Ping approached Xia Wen a few more times, but she stopped them all on the pretext of being busy with work.

One night, as soon as Xia Wen got home from get off work, he received a call from Xia Yuan.

Not long ago, Xia Yuan took the initiative to resign from the school as a physics teacher in the third class because his physical strength could not keep up. physics teacher.

Later, Xia Yuan’s colleagues mentioned that many students and parents were very sad to hear that Xia Yuan did not continue to lead their classes. On the last day, the teacher’s podium and office were filled with flowers, which was even more lively than Teacher’s Day.

Xia Yuan, who retired from the front line of teaching, went to the leisurely library, so he had more time to care about Xia Wen.

Xia Wen couldn't react to Xia Yuan's enthusiasm for a while.

The content of the call this time was very simple and direct. He asked Xia Wen to bring his new blind date home for dinner.

Although Xia Wen has done ideological work for Xia Yuan for a long time, it is still of no avail.Xia Yuan brought his previous enthusiasm for students and teaching to Xia Wen's emotional life.

He even learned a sentence that hurt Xia Wen the most.

"Dad doesn't know if he can hold your hand and enter the auditorium."

The closest person always pokes each other's dead point easily.

Xia Wen's hand holding the phone froze there, her eyes turned red instantly, she took a deep breath, wiped her face, and finally compromised.

After receiving the call, Luo Ping was as happy as if he had won a million-dollar lottery. He kept staring at Xia Wen and asked him what to prepare for the first day when he came to the house, and what to buy to make it look more formal.

Then Luo Ping decided on his own accord that the two of them would go shopping for some door-to-door gifts on Saturday.

Xia Wen felt as if she had been forced into a dilemma, and the only person she could confide in was Shen An'an.

Shen An'an sat on the carpet beside the bed and painted black nail polish on her toes. She lowered her head and blew on the wet oil stains, and asked Xia Wen with a serious face.

"Then what about my sister? I think you were the one who pulled her down from the altar, after all. Although she was a little inhuman before, she is still inhuman now, but she still treats you with all her heart and soul." .”

Xia Wen leaned on the iron railing of the balcony, and at night, there were autumn dewdrops on it, and the cold water droplets kept cooling down to the bottom of my heart.

She licked her lips: "I can't protect myself now."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Anan thought for a while and sent a WeChat message to her sister: "Come with me to the supermarket on Saturday."

-

The shopping mall opened at ten o'clock on Saturday, and Luo Ping drove to Xia Wen's house to wait for her early.

There were a lot of people in the supermarket on weekends, and there was a long queue at the cash register. Luo Ping pushed the cart to the special area for gift boxes and stood there to pick and choose.

The originally large truck was quickly filled to the brim.

When the two were pushing the cart to go out, they happened to meet Shen An'an and Shen Xueyu who were pushing the cart in.

Shen Anan grabbed a few packs of fancy snacks and threw them in. Shen Xueyu followed behind in casual clothes, looking at her mobile phone, it was obvious that she was dragged here.

In the middle of the narrow shelf, two carts cannot pass side by side.

Shen An'an showed the expected elation and waved at Xia Wen: "What a coincidence, Wen Wen."

Then Shen Xueyu, who heard the name, raised her eyes from the phone, and looked at Xia Wen.

Only for a moment, Xia Wen moved away.She kind of hated herself for telling Shen Anan everything with her big mouth.

Among the four, only Luo Ping knew nothing.

The first time he saw Shen Xueyu, he recalled the scene when he saw her for the first time. Such a person would not be overwhelmed in the crowd.

"Is this Wen Wen's friend?" Luo Ping also responded enthusiastically to Shen An'an.

Xia Wen was caught off guard by the "Wen Wen" yell, and then she clearly caught Shen Xueyu's face getting a little darker.

The unhappiness on the face was very obvious.

It was really embarrassing for the four people to meet, but fortunately, it passed quickly, and it only lasted for a few minutes.

Shen Xueyu didn't say a word, Shen An'an was a little confused about what was going on in her sister's heart, and didn't dare to make any more trouble, so she took her by the arm and left.

Luo Ping drove Xia Wen back to the apartment. When he got off the car, he wanted to go up for a ride, but Xia Wen was rejected.

He smiled and didn't force it.After all, the situation is now on his side, and he doesn't need to be in a hurry.

When driving out from the gate of the community, a black Mercedes-Benz was driving in at the entrance next to it. Luo Ping knew that this model was not a common model, but he had seen two of them recently. When he drove out, he looked back curiously. .

After Xia Wen, who sent people away, returned home, the empty and silent room made her feel relaxed. She leaned her back against the door, and her body slowly slid to the ground.

Xia Wen curled himself into a ball unconsciously.

After calming down, the irritability surged up, and she became a little disgusted with herself, the one who smirked at Luo Ping.

She snorted coldly at the void, feeling like a fool.

Just as she was about to stand up, the dizziness of hypoglycemia hit her. She supported the door frame, and there was a knock on the door at this time.

Xia Wen thought it was Luo Ping who had gone and returned, and a sense of disgust rose. She took a deep breath very impatiently, and when she was about to ignore it, there was a voice outside the door.

"I know you're in there."

Across a door, Shen Xueyu's already deep voice seemed even more muffled.

How could it be her?Xia Wen thought that Shen Xueyu would not come back to find her again.

Because she was a little tired of herself.

She opened the door anyway.

Outside the door, Shen Xueyu was still wearing the same clothes from the supermarket, standing quietly outside the door, just like the many daily meetings before.

Xia Wen had already dealt with her emotions just now, she pulled the broken hair around her ears, and moved away: "Come in."

The hot water poured into the thermos after waking up in the morning was no longer hot, Xia Wen took out the cup Shen Xueyu used before from the drawer and poured her a cup of warm water.

The transparent glass was placed on the coffee table in the living room.

Shen Xueyu sat on the single sofa, her black eyes shifted from the water glass to Xia Wen's face.

"What's your relationship with that person?"

The words were still slow, but there was a chill in them.

Shen Xueyu looked up at Xia Wen who was standing there.

Xia Wen was dumbfounded by the simple words. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

In fact, the most difficult thing for her these days is not her own hurdles, but how to face Shen Xueyu.She kind of hoped that Shen Xueyu would retreat in the face of difficulties and turn around indifferently like before.

Instead of staring straight at the moment.

Ask outright, when it's just the two of you.This was something Xia Wen had never imagined.In the days since they met, no matter how close the two people are, there is always a layer of veil between them emotionally.

Shen Xueyu's question broke the delicate balance before.

Xia Wen, who was impulsive and fearless in his youth, has become the cowardly person at the moment.

"It's what you see and what you think of." Xia Wen tried to make his voice sound softer.

"I don't have to wait..."

Before the word "you" could be said, Shen Xueyu had already stood up suddenly, and brought the water glass on the coffee table with her arm.

The glass fell on the tiles, and half of the water splashed on Shen Xueyu's body.

The author has something to say: Teacher Shen can't hold back anymore!
