Can you please stop hating

Chen Wen is a sophomore at Huaning Institute of Technology. His dormitory is an eight-person room and the conditions are generally quite crowded.

So when school started, he rented a small apartment near the school and lived there by himself, just like he did before.

Yu Xi drank so much that there was no one to take care of her when she returned to school, so Chen Wen had no choice but to take her back to his place.

Seeing that Yu Xi was sleeping soundly, Chen Wen did not wake her up. After getting out of the car, he carried her back to her residence.

There was only one bedroom in the apartment. Chen Wen put Yu Xi on the bed and settled her down properly, then prepared to take the quilt and go to sleep on the sofa in the living room.

He had just opened the cabinet door when Yu Xi's cell phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it and it seemed to be an unfamiliar call.

The phone kept ringing. Yu Xi frowned and turned over. Seeing this, Chen Wen hung up the phone. But after two seconds of silence, the phone rang again.

Yu Xi didn't wake up. She pulled the quilt to cover herself, obviously disturbed. Chen Wen hesitated for a moment, picked up the phone and went to the living room to answer the call for her.

Before he could say anything, he heard an impatient, deep male voice from the other side: "It's almost twelve o'clock, where are you?"

Chen Wen was slightly startled: "Who are you looking for?"

"..." Jin Zhuoxiao paused, "Isn't this Yu Xi's phone number?"

Seeing that he had dialed the right number, Chen Wen explained, "Yu Xi is drunk and asleep. If you have anything to do, contact her tomorrow."

Jin Zhuoxiao was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was much gloomier: "Who are you to Yu Xi, and why are you holding her phone?"

Chen Wen: "I'm her friend. She got drunk and had no one to take care of her, so she stayed with me temporarily."

Before he finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Chen Wen took a look at the hung up phone, frowned slightly, went back to the bedroom to charge his phone, took the quilt and went to the living room.

On the other side, Tiansheng Club.

In the chess and card room, Jin Zhuoxiao threw his cell phone onto the mahjong table, leaned back in his chair, frowned, closed his eyes, and pinched his aching temple hard.

He was wearing a white T-shirt with monograms. When he leaned forward, his broad shoulders stretched the shirt open, and the lines of his chest muscles were faintly visible with his breathing.

The young lady from the club who was filling in the gap next to him was staring with her eyes wide open, her mind full of thoughts that this man must be very powerful in that area.

Zhang Yichi raised his eyebrows: "Is he going to be stood up?"

Jin Zhuoxiao glanced at him coldly.

Zhang Yichi laughed: "Yu Xixing, you are so foolish."

Jin Zhuoxiao frowned and sat up, saying in an irritable tone: "Zhang Laoer, do you want to die?"

Zhang Yichi: "Hey, don't get angry out of shame."

Afraid that the two would quarrel, Liang Mo interrupted at the right time: "Since no one is coming, let's go back too?"

Jin Zhuoxiao lit a cigarette with a cold face, took a deep puff, and exhaled heavily, as if to calm down his emotions. His voice was hoarse: "You guys go back, and call two more people in when you leave."

Zhang Yichi: "What do you want me to do?"

Jin Zhuoxiao: "Playing mahjong."

Zhang Yichi frowned: "No, buddy, we have been playing for three hours, and it's almost twelve o'clock, you still want to stay here and play?"

Jin Zhuoxiao squinted his eyes, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Yeah."

Zhang Yichi had a complicated expression: "Isn't it just that a woman stood you up once? Is that a big deal?"

Jin Zhuoxiao looked at him dangerously and threatened: "If you don't want me to drag you to the boxing gym to fight now, shut up immediately."

Zhang Yichi's face changed, and he immediately pulled Liang Mo up and said, "Let's go!"

Liang Mo: "..."

The next day.

Yu Xi was awakened by thirst.

Before she even opened her eyes, she felt a terrible headache. She lay in bed for a long time before she realized where she was.

Yu Xi sat up suddenly, almost thinking that her soul was going to drift away. She slowed down and hurriedly looked for her cell phone.

Seeing that it was only a little after ten o'clock, I felt relieved. Fortunately, I didn't sleep until the afternoon, otherwise I would have missed classes.

Yu Xi yawned and habitually deleted all the advertisements on the lock screen. When she saw the message about Jin Zhuoxiao, she froze.

Finished!

She forgot about Jin Zhuoxiao!

Yu Xi quickly opened Jin Zhuoxiao's chat box and saw that he had sent a message at 10 and 11 o'clock last night.

At this time, Yu Xi was still having dinner last night and her phone was turned off, so it would be strange if she could reply.

"..."

Yu Xi was a little overwhelmed. She held her forehead and comforted herself in her heart. Jin Zhuoxiao was so impatient that he would definitely not wait for her forever. Well, he should not be too angry.

She took some time to accept the reality before she thought about sending a message to Jin Zhuoxiao. She wrote and deleted it several times, and finally chose the most concise version to send.

Yu Xi: [I’m sorry, I was drunk last night and forgot to go get the bracelet from you.]

Five minutes, ten minutes.

The message was sent, but it seemed to have fallen into oblivion.

Yu Xi's heart, which had already been uneasy to begin with, became even more uneasy now.

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to make a WeChat call to ask, but the call was hung up as soon as she made it.

"..."

Yu Xi was stunned for two seconds, rubbed her hair, and lay back straight.

This was really the end. The only glimmer of hope she had left was extinguished, and she felt shattered.

Jin Zhuoxiao must be angry, what should I do?

"Dong dong!"

Chen Wen's voice came from outside the door: "Xixi, are you still not awake?"

Yu Xi quickly responded: "Brother Wen, I'm awake."

Chen Wen: "Then come out and wash up and eat. I bought your favorite dumplings."

Yu Xi: "Okay."

*

Chen Wen had an early class this morning. When he came back from school, he went to the supermarket to buy makeup remover and toiletries for Yu Xi.

Yu Xi quickly cleaned up and sat down at the table to eat with Chen Wen.

Chen Wen: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"It's okay," Yu Xi pursed her lips and said, "Brother Wen, I'm sorry for bothering you last night."

Chen Wen smiled: "Why are you being so polite to me? By the way, a man called you last night. You were asleep at the time, so I answered the phone for you."

Yu Xi was stunned: "Do you know who it is?"

Chen Wen: "The caller ID shows an unfamiliar number. It should be the one at the top of the call log. You can call back and ask after dinner."

There are not many men who are friends with Yu Xi, so if someone calls her in the middle of the night, it is most likely Jin Zhuoxiao.

She rarely does unreliable things, but this time she was really guilty: "Did he say anything?"

Chen Wen thought for a moment and said, "He asked why you didn't go find him."

"..."

Yu Xi felt like he was shot in the heart again. The more he knew, the more he wanted to die. It was really painful.

Chen Wen saw that Yu Xi didn't look very happy, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Xi forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just remembered that I have classes in the afternoon, I have to go back to school to prepare."

Chen Wen: "Okay, I have to go to school too, let's go back together after eating."

Yu Xi: “Yeah.”

Huazhong University of Science and Technology and the University of Science and Technology were on the same route, so after dinner, they took a taxi back to school together.

Yu Xi was still wearing the strapless dress and high heels from last night. Before going out, she put on Chen Wen's casual jacket. It didn't look like a good match, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Huada University is closer, so Yu Xi got off the bus early.

She had just said goodbye to Chen Wen when the heel of her high-heeled shoe got stuck in the gap between the rocks and couldn't be pulled out.
