perfect location

Compared with small towns, the congestion of the capital can better reflect the depression of summer.Xia Chen couldn't help vomiting for a long time in a small alley before coming out wiping his mouth.After finally finding the delivery address, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He bought a bottle of water and stopped at the entrance of a dessert shop, unable to move his legs.

Xia Chen was wearing a dark blue peaked cap, with his bangs pressed down.Wearing a loose short-sleeved and sweatpants, the white sneakers are covered with a lot of dust.The slightly long hair was sticking to the cheeks, and the sweat was sticky, and the body also exuded a smell of sweat bonded by summer.

He looked sloppy and embarrassed.

Through the glass window, Xia Chen looked at the various desserts displayed inside, and swallowed.He took out his pocket, took out a few pieces of change, and glanced at the unit price of the strawberry cake he liked.In the end, Xia Chen walked into the very comfortable dessert shop with the air conditioner on.The little girl at the counter pinched her nose, unceremoniously showing her dislike.

"Take a strawberry." Xia Chen was ruthless, "If you take a cherry, you have to take a single serving."

"It's 103 yuan in total." The little girl quickly packed it up for him, and took the money with her fingertips.

Xia Chen also noticed her expression, but in such a hot day, he probably won't be able to eat the cake when he brings it back to the town.With a cheeky face, Xia Chen found a remote place in the dessert shop and sat down, opened the package and started to eat.

The long-lost sweetness melted in his mouth, and with the air-conditioning in the store, Xia Chen's heart gradually relaxed.The feeling of morning sickness is no longer strong, and he hopes that summer will pass quickly.The rental house has no air conditioner, which is driving him crazy.Xia Chen hurriedly put the cake into his mouth, and it was not satisfying to eat two pieces.

He took the change out of his pocket and put it together again. He behaved like a tramp.

He took a fancy to another piece of peach-flavored cake, stood in front of the glass refrigeration counter, looked at the price, and just spent the remaining change on him.If I continue to eat, I will have no money to take a car back to the town.

Xia Chen lowered his hat, looked at the peach cream cake with regret, and was hesitating whether to buy it or not.Beside him was Li Beibei's resounding voice: "Xiao Kui, give me the peach one."

"I see, you're here so late today? Where's the lady boss?"

"Aunt Xiao went to play with a friend, Xiao Ming and I came to visit the store today."

Li Beibei passed by Xia Chen, without recognizing Xia Chen at all.That's right, in their hearts, Xia Chen has always been the flower of Gaoling fluttering in white.Who would have thought that this disheveled and sweaty man was Xia Chen?

Xia Chen didn't panic, and even walked out of the gate calmly.

But with a calm face, his heart has long been chaotic.He bumped his head into a large bag of low-gluten flour that Xiao Ming was holding, and his head hurt...the peaked cap was also knocked off.Xia Chen covered his forehead, raised his eyes, was stunned, and Xiao Ming was also stunned.

Xiao Ming didn't expect that Lu Xingshu would find the crazy Xia Chen and send him to his door.

Xia Chen ran away, Xiao Ming hurriedly followed without even throwing the flour.In the end, he was still lost. Xia Chen hid in a small alley, climbed over the wall along the water pipe, and almost fell. He didn't even look at the cars on the road, and jumped into the car when he saw the car stop.After running for a while, his stomach churned violently. After a few stops, he got out of the car and sat on the side of the road to rest for a while.

Afterwards, Xia Chen hailed a taxi casually, not afraid of spending money, and just wanted to get away from the city center as soon as possible.

But Xiao Ming is not a vegetarian. He immediately contacted the department in this area and looked through the monitoring of the entire street.Within half an hour, I found the shop where Xia Chen delivered the goods.After Xiao Ming asked for the address, he contacted Lu Xingshu.

None of them thought that Xia Chen, who always loves cleanliness, would choose to hide in such a dirty and small town.

When Lu Xingshu found Xia Chen's rental room, it was already around six o'clock in the afternoon.If it wasn't for Zhizhi's reluctance to reveal Xia Chen's address, Lu Xingshu would have arrived earlier.Xia Chen ate too much cake today, and ran for a while, feeling limp and weak, so he asked for leave and went back early to rest.

The contents of his stomach had been vomited early, and after taking a shower, he wanted to cook himself a tomato and egg soup to replenish his energy.I searched the kitchen for a long time but couldn't find any salt. Because he was not good at cooking, all the previous ones were ruined.Xia Chen wanted to order a takeaway and forget it, but when he turned on his phone, the minimum delivery fee was too high.I don't have a good appetite, so there's no need to order more, and the money spent today has exceeded my budget.

Xia Chen never thought before that one day he would spend money wisely, does this count as the downfall in TV dramas?

He breathed a sigh of relief, with a tired face, and reluctantly went downstairs to the community convenience store to buy salt.Catch up with the discount at the convenience store, and by the way, brought back two big bags of purified water.

The apartment complex that Xia Chen rented was relatively old, and there was no elevator.The higher the floor, the less people are willing to rent it. Xia Chen considered that he would be inconvenient in the future, combined with the fluctuation of the rent, and finally rented on the fifth floor.There is a window on every other floor of the corridor. It is still bright at six o'clock in summer, and the afterglow of the setting sun falls into the corridor.

"The setting sun is infinitely beautiful, but it's almost dusk." The child on the third floor read the text aloud in the room, and at the same time, there was the sound of his mother cooking vegetables.Xia Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead, smelling the fragrance of vegetables wafting out, his stomach suddenly rumbled with hunger.Everyone blamed Xiao Ming, causing him to spit out the cake.

It's a pity, the money was wasted, if I knew it, I wouldn't eat it, and he complained in his heart.

Xia Chen put the purified water on the turning platform on the fourth floor, took a breath, half bent over, and supported his knees with his hands.

"Xia Chen..." Lu Xingshu's voice sounded inappropriately, and he had been waiting at the door of the rental house for quite a while.Just when he was about to break in, he heard Xia Chen going upstairs.

Xia Chen was stunned, and then realized that his whereabouts were completely exposed. He didn't have much expression, and his indifferent attitude made Lu Xingshu, who had prepared a lot of words, suddenly didn't know which sentence to start, and stood at the door like an idiot .Xia Chen didn't know what to say, he felt that he hadn't seen Lu Xingshu for a long time.

The two of them just faced each other in silence, neither of them knew where to start, and the scene was awkward for a while.

Lu Xingshu repeated it thousands of times in his heart, admit his mistakes first, apologize first, no matter what he said, he had to be in place first.

In the end, Xia Chen spoke first: "Help me carry some water."

"Okay!" Lu Xingshu went over immediately, easily picked up two buckets of water, and tried to talk, "Why buy such two buckets of water?"

"Discount." The response he received was very cold, Xia Chen opened the door with the key, and turned sideways to let Lu Xingshu follow in.

"Xia Chen, I..."

"Have you eaten yet?" Xia Chen interrupted him.

"I'm not hungry, Xia Chen, I..." Lu Xingshu desperately wanted to explain all the misunderstandings, but was interrupted by Xia Chen again.

"I'm hungry, what's the matter, let's talk about it after dinner." Xia Chen repeated, "I'm very hungry and have no energy."

Lu Xingshu hurriedly said: "Then I'll cook..." Thinking about it, I don't know how to cook, I only know how to survive in the wild.He took out his mobile phone, ordered takeaway, and said, "Okay, let's talk after we finish eating. What do you want to eat?"

"Anything that's not spicy is fine." Xia Chen turned on the electric fan to breathe a little in the stuffy room.He sat in front of the fan, quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.From the beginning to the end, Xia Chen never looked directly at Lu Xingshu.

During this period, Lu Xingshu looked around the room, and he couldn't find any other words to describe it besides rudimentary.There is not even air-conditioning in the room, and this sweltering summer has already begun, how does Xia Chen survive?Lu Xingshu took two steps forward, and saw the notebook on the small table. It was spread out, and there were many people's names written on it, all surnamed Xia.

You don't need to guess to know that these are all children's names, because Xia Chen has thought of many nicknames, all of which are cute.

Lu Xingshu's heart was gripped, he walked over, half knelt down, held Xia Chen's hand, and found that his palm was covered in cold sweat.And Xia Chen's eyes were cold, so dark that no light could be seen.

"Child..." Lu Xingshu moved his lips.

Xia Chen's fingertips moved slightly, as if he had been waiting for Lu Xingshu to open his mouth.He withdrew his hand and turned away, his voice trembling but stubborn: "I won't knock it down."

Under Lu Xingshu's surprised eyes, Xia Chen then said coldly: "I won't give it to the Lu family either."

"Xia Chen, can you listen to me?" Lu Xingshu grabbed his hand, clenched it tightly, and said anxiously, "No one wants you to kill the child, and no one wants to take him away!"

As soon as the words fell, Xia Chen's tense nerves relaxed, and a teardrop hung from his eyes.Then, shed tears one after another.Lu Xingshu was so scared that he didn't have time to get a tissue, he held his face and wiped his tears with his fingertips: "Don't cry, I'm sorry...Xia Chen, I'm sorry...I'm too stupid, that's why there are so many misunderstandings between us .”

Xia Chen shed tears silently as if he had a lot of grievances that he couldn't express.His legs were weak, he thought that Lu Xingshu came for the child, and wanted to snatch the child away. If Alpha sues Omega and asks to take the child away, Omega has no right to refuse.What's more, his current economic conditions are so bad, the court will definitely award the child to Lu Xingshu.All kinds of conjectures frightened him so much that his nerves became tense.Now, he was trembling a little, his fingertips were cold in such a hot season.

"I like you, Xia Chen. I like you...I've always liked you." Lu Xingshu couldn't bear it any longer, he kissed Xia Chen's lips, struggling to leave, "I'm sorry, I should have been earlier I know it's you. I didn't know you were Marshal Fu's grandson. I saw that your information showed that you were married, and my heart broke... It's all my fault. I shouldn't have given you birth control pills without investigating clearly. I I shouldn't have asked the lawyer to give you the divorce agreement without carefully reading it. If I read it, I would know the facts earlier, and I would never let him give you the divorce agreement. The day you came to the villa to find me , I don’t know it’s you, if I knew, how could I turn you away? Xia Chen, I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong. I’ve been in love with you since you came to Xuelin to look for me You, I divorced to be with you..."

His breathing was rapid and his tone was short, saying over and over that he was wrong.

"Come back with me. I didn't submit the divorce agreement. I tore it up. I'm still your Alpha. I'll take care of the Marshal's matter and I won't let you down. Your father has been taken into my villa to take care of you. You don't want to go back Have a look at him? And our child, please give me a chance to take care of him with you?" Lu Xingshu did not get Xia Chen's answer, and repeatedly rubbed Xia Chen's cold hands, "I have already applied to return Since you took office in the capital, I will always be by your side from now on, and I will never run away casually again.”

Lu Xingshu's eyes were slightly red, and he said in a deep voice, "Xia Chen, please answer me, okay?"

But Xia Chen still didn't answer.

After a long time, Xia Chen slowly raised his head, with tears still hanging on his chin.He hasn't cried for a long time, and he can't stop crying.No matter how strong you are, your heart will be soft, it will hurt, and you will feel numb after the pain.

Lost consciousness, depressed and uncomfortable, like drowning.Omegas during pregnancy are emotionally vulnerable, including Xia Chen.All negative emotions are magnified, he doesn't want to be hurt again, he is afraid of pain again.He has no confidence, neither in himself nor in Lu Xingshu.

"Lu Xingshu, let's get a divorce." He was able to say this sentence so lightly.

As long as a century, Lu Xingshu pulled the corner of his mouth stiffly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xia Chen's eyes were empty, and there was no Lu Xingshu in his black eyes. He slowly said: "It was my fault that I forced the marriage back then. I apologize to you. But I didn't do it on purpose... You said, when I grow up, to marry me."

Lu Xingshu didn't know what he said, and he didn't even remember it at all.

But no matter how Lu Xingshu asked, Xia Chen kept silent about when this agreement was made.He seemed to have fallen into a boundless abyss. He was in great pain, but he kept his tone in a cold range all the time: "You know the two pieces of evidence in Master Lu's hands, don't you?"

Xia Chen's hair was disheveled, and the ends of the hair drooped close to his eyelids.

Lu Xingshu frowned, he comforted the lie, and tried to make Xia Chen not pay attention to them: "Those things must have been deliberately forged..."

"Forgery?" Xia Chen laughed lightly, and the words were clear, "That's true. I was indeed marked, in that kidnapping case when I was 15 years old."

Xia Chen's voice was hoarse and deep, and he said a series of words as if they were light: "But I can't even remember who marked me... Which kidnapper is it? Is he dead? Or is he alive? Did he run away? I can't remember anything."

That day, the snow was so heavy, so cold, and the feeling of being marked on the back of the neck was so clear.

When he dreamed back in the middle of the night, the heavy snow that drifted like the end of the world repeatedly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Xia Chen, don't be like this, that's all in the past." Lu Xingshu has never seen such a pale Xia Chen, the pain of memory recovery and the blow of the Fu family's downfall, plus the damage Lu Xingshu gave before, is like peeling with a scraper , dug out one of Xia Chen's hearts, exposed it to the sun, and drenched it in the rainstorm.

No matter how fresh it is, it will be scorched; no matter how hot it is, it will be chilled to death.

Xia Chen nana: "Yes, the marks have been removed, and I should start a new life. However, they appear in my dreams every night. Every night, I can't sleep well. Besides the marks, I still have What was done? I can't remember..."

Lu Xingshu didn't let him continue talking, hugged him tightly, the words in his throat were hot: "I don't care!"

sudden.

"But I care!" Xia Chen almost roared, his emotions changed from indifference to excitement in an instant.He violently pushed Lu Xingshu away, and in his mind, the past pain was like a groan, reminding him of his unbearable past over and over again.Forgotten for so many years, these fears all emerged at Xia Chen's most lonely and helpless moment.It tortured him every night. If it wasn't for the child in his womb and the father who needed to be taken care of to support him, he would have collapsed long ago.

These nearly two months were the most painful time for him.But Lu Xingshu pushed him away, and he survived alone.

Why does Lu Xingshu still appear today?

Obviously he has already made a decision that he will not owe him anything, why does he show up to shake himself?

After three years of waiting, day after day in that deserted villa, he lay on the bed that Lu Xingshu slept on, thinking about him endlessly.He looked through every book in his collection, read every certificate of merit from his military academy, and ate every dish he praised.He wanted to be closer to Lu Xingshu, so he went to the border.

Every move of Lu Xingshu affected him, he was very anxious when Lu Xingshu was injured, and he desperately looked for Lu Xingshu when he disappeared.He likes Lu Xingshu so much that he is not afraid of death.But what Lu Xingshu did, he pushed himself away and put himself in a desperate situation.

He faced all the pain alone, he was used to it, Lu Xingshu did not accompany him.Now that Lu Xingshu only said two paragraphs, he was going to make him forget all this.Even if you like it, it hurts too much.

But what's wrong with Lu Xingshu? His amnesia is to save himself, and his unfeeling is also because of his forced marriage.Xia Chen actually didn't blame him at all.It's just that the fire burned too violently, and only ash remained afterward.

Xia Chen gasped heavily, leaning against the window sill, the emotional turmoil finally calmed down.He looked at Lu Xingshu and said again, "Let's get a divorce."

Lu Xingshu said bluntly: "I don't agree."

"I'm really in too much pain, Lu Xingshu."

The electric fan in the corner whistled, blowing away Xia Chen's low voice.
