Crush in marriage

Shi Xun was awakened by the vibration of the mobile phone.

He stretched out his hands, touched the cell phone lying on the carpet, and pressed the answer button a few times.

He only uttered one syllable of the word "Hello" impatiently, and a familiar yet unfamiliar face suddenly appeared in his half-opened vision.

Most of the light from the outside to the inside was blocked by the curtains, dimly surrounding Bo Shengu's cheeks, driving away the hidden coldness in him.

Shi Xun's voice choked up, and the vain shock only stayed for a few seconds before disappearing.

The person on the other end of the phone was still checking to see if he could hear the voice, and kept calling his name.

Realizing the existence of Bo Shengu, Shi Xun unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, almost overflowing with sweet joy.

He stood up slightly, and answered the receiver in a low voice.

The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "It can be considered that I have contacted you, and I will go back to school soon. The tutor has called you several times and seems to be looking for you urgently."

Shi Xun was startled, he took away the phone and slid down the notification bar, but found no message from the teacher.

He changed his phone number a few days ago, but at that time he sent a mass text message to inform everyone. The teacher probably didn't see it, and he kept calling the previous phone number over and over again.

"Just now the teacher asked me if I knew where you were. I lied and said that you went to have breakfast. You should have time to find him now."

"Ah."

Shi Xun responded as briefly as possible, for fear of waking up Bo Chengu.

He hung up the call and put away the phone.

It is true that the school's affairs cannot be ignored, besides, Bo Chen is still sleeping soundly, so it is fine to talk about it when he comes back.

Thinking of this, Shi Xun quietly got out of bed.

He gently tugged at the sheets and smoothed out the folds of the quilt.

He remembered that Bai Chengu had a serious obsession with cleanliness, and whenever he saw a little untidy around him, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.

Last night, he even cleaned up the room, trying not to leave any traces, just to prevent Bo Shengu from waking up early in the morning and being deprived of his joy by these trivial things.

Shi Xun glanced around, picked up his coat and earplugs.

Now it's completely clean.

He smiled lightly and bowed to the side of the bed, and said silently to Bo Shen who was lying on the bed: "Wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon."

Shi Xun leaves the room.

He stopped a taxi at the entrance of the hotel and rushed to the school.

Downstairs, Zhuang Rui was spinning around in a hurry.

Seeing Shi Xun, he quickly responded: "Brother Xun, you are finally here!"

The person who spoke was Zhuang Rui, the same person who called him just now to urge him to go back to school.

Zhuang Rui is a fellow student of one of his mentors and also his roommate.Because the name written upside down is too similar to "dignified", and he often acts dumb, people in the research team jokingly called him "duanduan".

Shi Xun walked over unhurriedly: "Duanduan, what are you doing here?"

"Tell you the news." Zhuang Rui said eagerly, "You didn't reply when I sent you a message. I heard from my senior sister that the teacher sent a message this morning. I'm afraid you don't know anything and it will make him even more angry. "

Shi Xun smiled lightly, and walked into the building door together with him: "Why are you more anxious than me? He is looking for me, not you. Even if he is angry, I am the one who suffers."

Zhuang Rui rubbed the back of his head in distress: "You are so powerful, you are too late, dear teacher, so you won't lose your temper with you. I am different. The teacher told me to go to him in the afternoon. I feel that I am in great trouble."

"Don't worry." Shi Xun patted him on the shoulder in a particularly good mood, "This kind of trivial matter will not implicate you."

After finishing speaking, Shi Xun walked deep into the corridor.

In fact, the tutor has nothing to do, just let him explain the nesting details of the model in a small paper.

As for the displeasure that the phone was not connected, it also disappeared in the back and forth exchanges.

It was not too late when I left school.

The dissertation didn't kill half of the excitement, he didn't have time for breakfast, he just wanted to hurry back to the hotel.

On the way back, the traffic flow began to increase, blocking him mercilessly on the road.Shi Xun sat on the back seat of the taxi, looking forward from time to time, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He fell back feebly.

He regretted it a bit. If he had known that he would catch up with the morning rush hour, he would not talk too much about discussing the feasibility of another way of thinking with the teacher.

Finally arrived near the hotel, Shi Xun paid and got off the car, the action was done in one go.

The elevator going upstairs seemed to be running more slowly than usual, searing his patience without a break.

After the long-sounding recognition ended, all that caught the eye was the unobstructed emptiness.

Shi Xun froze in place.

people left?

That's it... leave? !

Shi Xun searched the room vigorously, trying to find something left by the other party, even if it was just a note saying that he left first.

But, no.

The remaining warmth of the bed has dissipated, and it has been a while since I should have left.

Shi Xun frowned, he couldn't figure out what Bai Shengu meant.

It was only then that he remembered the question that lingered in his mind for a few seconds last night - why did Bo Shengu appear in his room?

Shi Xun didn't intend to guess wildly, instead of wasting time thinking about it, it's better to go to the front desk of the hotel to ask about the situation.

But the front desk insisted that no one else had entered his room, and his tone was as firm as if everything last night was just a dream of his.

When Shi Xun was planning to propose a solution for monitoring, the mobile phone vibrated untimely.

Looking at the number on the caller ID, Shi Xun's heart sank.

He understood that the method of changing the number to avoid the phone at home was just a stopgap measure, but the speed at which they found it was really annoying.

But that's okay, even if the family doesn't look for him these days, he still wants to have a showdown with them.

After all, he still wanted to find Bai Shengu, even if he had a nominal marriage contract on him, it was not suitable.

He greeted the front desk and left first, moving his fingertips to the answer button.

The call was empty for a few seconds before the other party asked, "Are you busy recently?"

Shi Xun didn't want to continue this kind of lukewarm greeting, and expressed his intention straight to the point: "Uncle Bai, are you still in Jinsong? If it's convenient, let's meet today."

The other end of the phone froze for a moment, and quickly answered.

There are many people outside, it is not appropriate to talk about retiring the engagement, Shi Xun thought for a while, and set the place for the conversation to be at the hotel.

Back in the room, open the window from time to time to ventilate, and wait quietly for the other party's arrival.

People came faster than he imagined.

The footsteps stopped at the door, and Shi Xun immediately raised his voice: "The door is not closed."

A middle-aged man walked in from the door and sat opposite Shi Xun across the table.

This man called "Uncle Bai" has been with his parents for nearly 30 years and is a very trusted person in the family.

The last time they met was when he received the "Marriage Notice".

Shi Xun is from Beichi. He came to Jinsong City after he was admitted to Jinsong University. It has been more than seven years in a flash.

Because Beichi and Jinsong are far away, the family sent Uncle Bai to coordinate the marriage.

In the past three months, Uncle Bai mentioned the marriage many times, but today is the first time he has responded positively to this matter.

Shi Xun folded his fingers on the table, and got straight to the point: "I would like to trouble you to come today, because I want to discuss the divorce."

Uncle Bai paused when he opened the file package, and soon returned to normal.

Unaffected, he continued to spread out the documents in his hand: "I know you young people have your own ideas, but feelings can be cultivated slowly. My wife and I had no relationship foundation before we got married, and we are still very loving now. .”

He pushed the file on the phone in front of Shi Xun: "Madam is very concerned about your feelings, she knows that you don't want to leave Jinsong, and the marriage partner selected is also currently living in Jinsong, you should read the information first, and meet him, Everything is easy to say."

Shi Xun turned a deaf ear and poked at him and Si Ni mercilessly: "I think you should be able to see that I never intended to agree to this marriage from the very beginning, no matter who the other party is."

Uncle Bai's masseter muscles moved slightly, and there was a subtle change in his words: "Xiao Xun, the situation at home is worse than you imagined, and your marriage partner is unique in appearance, background, and resume. I haven’t even read the information, why are you so resolute in rejecting it?”

Shi Xun shook his head: "Marriage is not my business alone. Forcibly pressing the head will not only ruin the rest of my life, but also ruin the life of the other party. Why should I agree to such a thing that harms others and myself?"

Faced with the attitude of not being able to pry open a gap, Uncle Bai's expression completely collapsed, and his tone sank obviously: "You will not forget—"

Facing the expected speech, Shi Xun cut off his voice and said, "I haven't forgotten, I can repay the kindness of adoption in any way, except this one."

Bai Shu's eyebrows were tightly locked, and his tone was full of force: "If you have to marry this marriage?"

The atmosphere gradually became rigid, and the tit-for-tat hidden under the diaphragm almost penetrated.

The sharp wind blew in from the window, knocking up the documents on the desktop, and the pushed paper fell upside down and fell on Shi Xun's shoe.

Shi Xun bent over to pick up the folded paper on the ground, and slapped it on the table with one hand: "There is no 'must' here."

He lifted the hard cover of the folder, halfway through the action of fastening the file, it got stuck at a certain angle for no apparent reason.

Shi Xun lowered his eyelashes slightly, but his eyes fixed instantly.

He looked at the file in disbelief, staring blankly at the face in the one-inch photo that he had seen in bed this morning.

"There's been a lot of trouble, I'm going to pretend I haven't been here today, and people from the Bai family will contact you in the next two days..."

Uncle Bai was still talking, but the strange humming sound pierced Shi Xun's left ear to his right ear, forcing everything around him to be silent.

and so……

The person he has been trying to get out of every day for the past three months is the person he has had a crush on for 11 years.

What's even more exaggerated is that he actually slept with the other party in a daze last night? !

What is this all about!

Shi Xun rested his forehead with one hand and clenched his teeth.

Once, he felt that the fate between himself and Bo Shengu was shallow.

So shallow that he just realized his intentions, the other party left Beichi, leaving him no room.

So shallow that they were admitted to the same university successively, but entered two campuses. Even if he frequently went to another campus, he could only meet him once in a while after searching all the campuses.

So much so that he stayed in Tsumatsu City for the eighth year, and his relationship with the other party was still an acquaintance "stranger".

But in just twenty hours, everything seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes, illusory like a dream too long to wake up from.

He licked his lips nonchalantly, as if he had lost most of the momentum he had before: "Actually—"

The merciless slam of the door interrupted his speech.

Shi Xun raised his eyes, only the closed door was waiting for him.

"..."

It wasn't until more than half an hour after Uncle Bai had left that Shi Xun managed to regain some of his mind from the shock.

He lay down on the bed exhausted, his whole portrait turned into a plane, floating lightly between the quilts, it was unrealistically vain.

He was forcibly pulled back to the three-dimensional world by Zhuang Rui.

Zhuang Rui said that the principal wanted to express his condolences to all the third-year graduate students on a whim, and would come to the dormitory from time to time at night.

It took Shi Xun two or three minutes to digest what he meant, and said bluntly that he would go back later.

That night, the principal didn't come, and everyone got tired of waiting and went to bed one after another.

Shi Xun climbed onto the bed, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and was finally forced to close his eyes in drowsiness.

As the night wore on, a phone call ended his terrible sleep.

Shi Xun squinted his eyes to answer, and a voice came from his ear: "Are you in the dormitory?"

There was no ups and downs in the voice, and no emotion could be heard.

Shi Xun couldn't tell who it was, so he asked in a daze, "Who is it..."

The other side was silent for a few seconds, and the voice of the answer was neither soft nor heavy.

"Bai Chen's death."

"Bo..."

Shi Xun followed the other party and repeated a word, which suddenly touched his deeply buried conditioned reflex.

He opened his eyes suddenly and got up from the bed.

His movements were too large, and his wrist directly came into intimate contact with the railing beside the bed, making a "squeak" sound.

Pain reminds Shi Xun that everything is real.

He held his breath, too clumsy to speak.

"Do you have your household registration book and ID card with you?"

"Ah?" Shi Xun was dumbfounded again.

"Are you there?" Bo Chen repeated again.

"Yes," Shi Xun stammered, "Yes."

"Take it down, I'll be downstairs with you."

Shi Xun took a deep breath, and the stagnant air filled his heart.

His language system completely collapsed, and he said in confusion, "What? I...why..."

Bai Chen said calmly.

"Civil Affairs Bureau, register for marriage."
