The Queen of Romance: A Summer of Sweet Classics

Chapter 75

After finishing dinner, Huo Xiyin sat on the carpet in the living room and absently piled up blocks.This habit has been followed since she was a child until now. Whenever she is very irritable and unable to vent, she always pours the building blocks out of the box, and then slowly builds up layer by layer without logic.

Ji Zhandong also seemed very bored.The books and magazines in her room were not suitable for him to read, so he casually flipped through them and threw them aside, then watched her pile up the blocks.Probably because she felt that her construction speed was too slow, so she picked up the discarded magazine again, tore off an advertisement page with a very artistic picture in it, folded it in half, spread it out again, and cut it into a piece with scissors Pieces, and then put the pieces on the coffee table and put them together little by little.

Huo Xiyin piled up slowly, but Ji Zhandong spliced ​​them very fast.Although he seemed equally absent-minded, the scraps of paper were assembled into their original shape in a very short time, and very accurately.

Huo Xiyin saw his pastimes while piling up blocks while wandering the sky, and felt that his approach was as childish and boring as her piling up blocks.

"Your phone calls have really stopped tonight. There's not even a single call."

"I'm off."

Huo Xiyin looked back suspiciously, Ji Zhandong was frowning slightly, holding a scrap of paper and thinking hard about the re-shattered jigsaw puzzle. The building block house raised its chin: "You are really slow at stacking."

"I'm willing." Huo Xiyin turned her head away from him, flicked her finger on the top of the building block, and the half-meter-high house immediately collapsed.

The room has been quiet since she made this angry gesture. Ji Zhandong rarely continued to enliven the atmosphere, and she didn't want to speak.But she felt very strangely that Ji Zhandong was looking at her thoughtfully behind her at the moment, and it took a long time before he left his eyes.

Then she piled up the blocks again, and asked casually, "Ji Zhandong, how did you feel when you first saw me?"

After a while he said, "Stubborn."

Huo Xiyin looked back at him, and Ji Zhandong smiled, still emphasizing slowly: "I'm really stubborn, even if I'm crying, my eyes are still black and shiny, and I can tell it's the kind of stubbornness in my bones."

Huo Xiyin looked at him with a blank face, pursed his lips and remained silent, obviously dissatisfied.The two looked at each other for half a minute, and Ji Zhandong suddenly laughed: "Are you angry?"

She still didn't answer, but brought the freshly washed grapes on the coffee table to him, squeezed them with two fingers, and then smiled sweetly, with a rare soft voice: "Do you want to eat?"

He didn't nod or shake his head, but just looked at her warily. The corners of Huo Xiyin's mouth curled up, and then he squeezed his fingers suddenly, and the grape juice splashed all over the grapes, and they all fell on his newly bought shirt without any waste. .

Huo Xiyin originally thought he would be angry, but she didn't expect that Ji Zhandong would not be angry when she did this.He just held the shirt in one hand, lowered his head to look carefully at the stain, then looked up at her, and then smiled with gritted teeth: "Okay dear, you dare to do this to me since I was a child, you It's still the first one."

Huo Xiyin still had a blank face, her eyes were looking away.Ji Zhandong came over with a feigned resentment: "When I was a child, I never let others stain my shirt. Haven't I relieved myself yet?"

She still kept a straight face and didn't speak, but Ji Zhandong laughed harder, leaned closer to her, and put his other hand through her hair to caress her earlobe. Huo Xiyin failed to dodge, so he was taken lightly by him He pinched it hard, and then he said: "You asked me to answer, so I answered. Now that the answer is over, you start to feel unhappy again, and then I become your blowing bag again, Miss Huo, may I ask for trouble? Is it?"

Huo Xiyin endured it for a long time, but finally laughed out loud.She leaned on his outstretched arm: "Mr. Puffing Bag, in fact, today's dinner is terrible."

He raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Then you still eat so much?"

"I'm here to support you. Only this time, and there will be no more in the future."

"So absolutely?" Ji Zhandong smiled, touched her face, thought for a while and said, "Aren't you going to take a driver's license test this weekend? I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, let the driver Xiao Zhang accompany you to the car dealership to have a look. "

"When will you come back?"

"This question is really considerate." He smiled. "It was originally planned to be about 20 days. If you think about me, it is not impossible to come back within two weeks."

"Cut, you are so beautiful."

It's the beginning of autumn, although there is no coolness yet, sad emotions spread among people inexplicably.On the day of Ji Zhandong's business trip, Huo Xiyin and a group of colleagues went to Chen Yu's funeral.On a very solemn occasion, she was wearing loose black clothes and black trousers. The wind leaked in from the corner of her clothes, which made her shiver involuntarily.

Compared to the crying last time, everyone was much calmer this time.No matter how sudden it is, there will always be a day when it will become dull until it dissipates.Xia Weiyang stood at the front of the crowd, her face was pale and calm, that kind of expression reminded Huo Xiyin of herself two years ago.

Huo Xiyin never wanted to associate Xia Weiyang with herself, but the moment she straightened up after bowing, her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly found that the woman with a beautiful face in front of her was her half-sister.

This discovery lingered in her mind, and at the same time, this discovery did not make her very happy. Huo Xiyin even felt a deep sense of sadness.

Chen Yu's position will not remain vacant, and a new appointment will be made soon.On the first day Jiang Xing came, people had a good first impression of him. He was more friendly to the people than Chen Yu, and had the same good appearance as Chen Yu.

So the tea room became lively again after less than a week of silence.

"Director Jiang is single. Those sisters who are not married or who want to remarry should hurry up."

"What's wrong with this year, it's all connected with two handsome guys, and let our gay men live."

"It is said that this person is not young, and I hope he can stay in office for a longer time." It seemed that it was not appropriate to say this, so he paused for two seconds and added, "It would be a pity if he was transferred to another place early. "

Huo Xiyin only felt that God was very mischievous.The previous boyfriend was her father's daughter's boyfriend, and this one is the direct senior of her classmate in college.

And he was also a direct senior who was quite familiar with him.

It turns out that the world is as small as her field of vision, and the people she sees are all acquaintances within eight poles.

"Xiyin, long time no see." Huo Xiyin heard these words just as he closed the door of Jiang Xing's office while holding the documents inside.

Jiang Xing stood up with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and the corner of Huo Xiyin's mouth also curved into an arc: "Director Jiang and Senior Jiang, long time no see."

"You are still so quiet and peaceful, sensible and well-behaved. When I just saw you this morning, I was really surprised. Except that you are more beautiful and more temperamental, nothing else has changed."

Huo Xiyin was so stimulated that his whole body got goosebumps, he scoffed, and threw the document on his desk: "Jiang Xing, don't make a kind expression on the old man's face, this is not suitable for you."

"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart." Jiang Xing smiled, not paying attention to her provocation, "It's just that the spirit is a little worse than when I was in college. Do you have a lot of troubles recently? Or is the work here very tormenting?"

"Is it really haggard? I've put a lot of thought into covering it up today."

Jiang Xing pointed to the corner of his mouth and showed her: "Who made you smile unnaturally? Seeing that I don't look welcome at all, you are very listless."

"How dare I not welcome you."

"There are not many things you dare not do." Jiang Xing smiled, "I have something to do tonight, are you free tomorrow night? Let's have a meal together."

Huo Xiyin nodded: "Okay."

There seem to be a lot of unexpected things recently, and they all have a weird coincidence and coincidence.Huo Xiyin took a taxi home from get off work. The taxi only walked for 5 minutes before encountering a long traffic jam. Huo Xiyin poked his head out to look, and only saw the flashing police lights in the distance.

The benevolent driver said, "It looks like it crashed again. It rained a little this afternoon, and the road is wet and slippery now, so it's hard to walk."

Long traffic flows ahead and behind them.Huo Xiyin felt that this scene was very familiar, and then remembered that when Chen Yuchu came here, after inviting all the female employees to dinner and karaoke, the same thing happened on the way home.

The vivid scene makes people feel sad that time is no longer right and wrong.At the beginning, she was still able to stay away from the scene, watching with cold eyes and secretly rejoicing, but now she couldn't get away, and was in a dilemma.

She has been depressed recently, remembering many things that are not worth remembering, and her sense of security has become increasingly lacking. She has to lock the door repeatedly every night, even when she goes down the stairs, she has to hold on to the wall, and then she has a whole night of sleepless nights. Insomnia all night leads to poor spirits and poor state during the day.As much as she tried to hide it and didn't want to admit it, she was a bit burnt out.Huo Xiyin felt that she was already a little nervous and obsessive-compulsive.

She lost her temper waiting in the car, and later paid the fare directly and wanted to leave by herself, and because she felt that she owed the uncle the driver, she insisted on paying double the fare.

Then she got out of the car, and then she saw Xia Weiyang.

She has never seen Xia Weiyang look so professional.Applying light makeup, and another capable professional woman came across from her, Xia Weiyang held the camera with a tired look on her face.

Xia Weiyang also saw her, then paused slightly, looking at her with two black grape-like eyes, forgot to smile, just a little dazed.

Huo Xiyin felt a headache again.She didn't want to see people recently, she just wanted to find a place to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, but it turned out to be the opposite of what she wanted.And she also dislikes the appearance of a sick beauty, especially when this sick beauty is still trying to force her illness to smile, she will feel more and more dizzy.

Xia Weiyang didn't hold an umbrella, looked at her for two seconds, raised her step, but staggered, the colleague beside her immediately supported her, frowned and said a few words to her, then patted her on the shoulder, Xia Weiyang smiled apologetically, then handed over the camera, then her colleague left, and she walked towards Huo Xiyin.

Huo Xiyin smiled. She put on a lot of makeup to meet the new leader and to hide her bags under the eyes and drowsiness. She probably doesn't have any kindness when she smiles now, although she really didn't want to show any sincerity.

"Catching the news is too hard, you should take a good rest."

"A series of car crashes, the situation in front of the scene is very miserable. I happened to pass by, so I took a few photos with Sister Zhang."

Huo Xiyin originally wanted to say that it seemed inappropriate for her to do the interview about the car accident, but seeing Xia Weiyang's gentle smile, she didn't say anything.On the contrary, Xia Weiyang looked into her eyes, tilted her head and smiled: "Actually, your spirit is not very good, and you seem to be very thin. I just didn't eat much at noon, and now I have low blood sugar. Are you going home? ? I just asked the police over there, and said that it will take at least half an hour before traffic will actually resume. Do you want to have dinner together?"

Huo Xiyin nodded, and sighed softly in her heart, this proposal is really uncreative.

But what was a little better than the last few times was that they were eating after all this time.As long as the mouth is chewing, there is no need to speak.So Huo Xiyin cut up the steak and ate it bit by bit, so careful that he almost regarded it as a career.

On the way, she received a call from her colleague, and when she hung up, Xia Weiyang also took out her mobile phone and put it on the table, laughing: "Look, I didn't expect our mobile phone models to be the same."

Huo Xiyin was stunned for a long time because of her word "also", and then twitched the corner of her mouth: "Yes, we have more than one place in common."

"Has your wedding date been set? It seems that you have always taken your time."

Huo Xiyin shook his head, stuffed a piece of steak into his mouth and chewed slowly, until he swallowed it completely before saying: "Marriage is not the end, too serious will easily make yourself lose value."

"You can really see." Xia Weiyang sighed softly.

"Try to force yourself to think about everything. What is yours is yours, and what is not yours is not yours. I remember this saying was taught since elementary school, but it seems that I have never really done it right a few times." Huo Xiyin glanced at her mobile phone on the dining table, and smiled with her chin propped up, "But this approach is a bit passive, so we can't always be so passive."

Xia Weiyang looked at her fixedly, and suddenly smiled: "Do you think you have achieved this now?"

"No."

There was a slight chill between them.Xia Weiyang probably didn't expect her to answer so simply, she couldn't find out what to say next.Huo Xiyin ate quietly with her eyebrows closed, and a sentence suddenly popped up in the middle: "The steak here is very authentic."

"That's right." Xia Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile, "This is the place Chen Yu used to come to. He also said that the steak here is very authentic."

"Xia Weiyang, actually, I've been wondering about one thing." Huo Xiyin put down the knife and fork in her hand, smiled lightly, but stared at her unblinkingly, "Before Chen Yu got into a car accident, you were always thinking about the past. That person. After Chen Yu had a car accident, you are missing Chen Yu again. You have been living in the past, haven’t you learned your lesson? There is another question. Does your bad complexion have anything to do with Chen Yu’s death? ?”

The only blood on Xia Weiyang's face faded away.

In Huo Xiyin's eyes, her movements became slow and stiff, after the knife and fork was hastily put back in place, Xia Weiyang stood up, without even smiling, she hurriedly said: "I'm going to the bathroom."

Her footsteps were even a little hasty.Huo Xiyin didn't expect her words to have such a big impact on her, that she didn't even have time to take the mobile phone from the dining table.Huo Xiyin looked at the mobile phone, then looked in the direction of the bathroom, bit her lip and thought about it, took a deep breath, then leaned over and took it over.

She knew it was very unkind to do so, but she dialed a series of numbers skillfully, and then pressed the green button.

Huo Xiyin felt her hands tremble a little.Soon the eleven numbers on the screen turned into the word "Ji". Huo Xiyin stared at it for two seconds, then put the phone to his ear, and waited quietly.

She didn't suffer too much Ling Chi, the phone was picked up after only two rings, and then a calm and pleasant male voice: "Wei Young?"

There is a deep laziness in the voice, and the tail rises slightly. It is Ji Zhandong's familiar tone. He is so familiar with Huo Xiyin that he can even imagine him squinting lazily at the moment.
