Xia Meng

In the taxi, the air conditioner was turned on comfortably, and it stopped and started on the road in the city center at night. The driver master tuned to the music radio channel, and he was playing the brisk blues suitable for this time.When the lights are on, in the middle of the bustling city, there is a kind of idleness hidden in the city.

Xia Meng was actually a little drunk, but she was still awake and knew where she was and what she was going to do. She rejected Bai Qi's offer to send her home, not because she was afraid of what others would do to her, but because she was afraid that ambiguity would take advantage of this Waiting for an opportunity at such a time, I will give false hope to the other party because of the loneliness that I have not been used to for a short time.

The car slowly drove into the community. Xia Meng woke up like a dream. After paying the money, she staggered out of the car, lowered her head to find the key in her bag, and prepared to open the door and go home.

At this moment, a pair of hands firmly supported Xia Meng's arm, Xia Meng was so frightened that she almost threw the bag out, only to see that it was Wei Linxi when she raised her head.

"What are you doing, you scared me to death." Xia Meng was a little bit about to cry and lose her temper at Wei Linxi when she was safe from the danger suddenly.

"Where have you been? Have you been drinking?" Wei Linxi leaned in front of Xia Meng and smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

Xia Mengmeng shook off Wei Linxi's hand, but because of drinking, his arms were limp and numb, and he couldn't use any strength, so he struggled in vain.

"None of your business. Let go."

"From yesterday to now, you have been treating me coldly, and even said that you are not angry, but you are obviously angry."

Xia Meng turned her head to the side and didn't look at her, because tears were already in her eyes, and she didn't want Wei Linxi to see that she was actually emotional because of grievances.

Wei Linxi stared at Xia Meng relentlessly, supported her chin with his hand, turned her head, and asked: "Is it raining yesterday? I didn't go to pick you up, so I'm not happy. Tell me." , I will definitely go right away.”

Xia Meng was seen through her awkward emotions, and for a moment felt that she couldn't hold back her face. With some strength, she pushed Wei Linxi away, and she also staggered back two steps. Wei Linxi stretched out his hand to pull her, but she Turn it on.

"It's strange, I have nothing to do with you, why are you angry that you can pick me up, whoever you like to pick up is your freedom, I don't need it." Xia Meng said with a sneer, but her voice was already trembling, tears I can't hold it anymore.

"Wife, don't be angry."

"Who's your wife! I'm not!" Xia Meng roared out, and her tears burst open in an instant, "I usually send a hundred or eighty messages for nothing, but when I really need you, I disappear. That's it, then what do I want you to do, it's better to be alone." Xia Meng cried, her voice was full of grievances.

Tears poured down more and more, and she couldn't see everything in front of her clearly. Xia Meng stood where she was, letting herself vent her emotions.

Wei Linxi walked up to Xia Meng and pulled her into his arms. Xia Meng pressed her forehead against Wei Linxi's shoulder and cried even harder.

"Little fool," Wei Linxi stroked Xia Meng's back and comforted him softly, "I've been wronged to death, I've been wronged to death, my little baby, it's alright, alright, don't cry, be good."

When people are sad, it's okay to be alone, but once someone comforts them, they can't hold back immediately.

Xia Meng cried for a while, tired of crying, and gradually only heard intermittent sobbing.

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the supermarket to buy vegetables. When it rained heavily, I would cook this week's vegetables for you in the kitchen. When I found out, I sent you a message immediately, and you didn't reply to me, and you didn't even call me." catch."

When Xia Meng calmed down a little, Wei Linxi explained.

Xia Meng still buried her head on Wei Linxi's shoulder without moving, only heard a muffled voice, Wei Linxi didn't hear it clearly, tilted her head to identify it carefully, "Usually very diligent, chasing all day long, very free, There is such a heavy rain outside, but there is no sound, and I didn't expect me to go home, bastard."

Wei Linxi felt that Xia Meng was a little cute, and almost laughed out loud, fearing that the kitten in her arms would get angry again, so she quickly held back her smile.

"Then why don't you call me and ask me to pick you up, I'm sure I'll come here without stopping."

"I don't want it. Whether you like it or not, I can go back by myself." Xia Meng still refused to step down, stubbornly.

"I just want to pick you up, so I won't let you go back by yourself."

"Liar."

"I don't." Wei Linxi pinched Xia Meng's face, "I also made you a lot of delicious food, this week there are pork chops, teriyaki chicken legs, and egg yolk lotus paste mooncakes, do you want to eat them? "

Xia Meng sniffed, her nose was clogged with crying, and said in a nasal voice, "Eat."

"Okay, my little fool, his eyes are red from crying, stop crying." Wei Linxi wiped away the tears on Xia Meng's face, then took Xia Meng's hand and walked home.

No one noticed a car parked under the shadow of the street lamp at the corner. Bai Qi sat in the dark night, watching everything that happened not far away. He heard Xia Meng's cry and clenched his fists. Started, took the last puff of the cigarette vigorously, the cigarette butt was extinguished, Bai Qi threw the finished cigarette case into the trash can, stayed in the car for a while, and left.

After taking a shower, Xia Meng sat at the table drinking iced milk, Wei Linxi blew her wet hair, suddenly remembered something, and asked Xia Meng: "Who is the colleague who went to eat with you?"

"How do you know? Shake told you?"

"Well, when I arrived, only Xia Ke was at home. She said that you went to dinner with your colleagues, and I will wait for you downstairs."

"Oh, it's Bai Qi, a teacher of science in our campus. Someone sent me back when it rained heavily last night. Treating him to a meal is a favor and I don't want to owe him." Xia Meng broke off a piece of egg yolk made by Wei Linxi The lotus seed paste mooncake is delivered to the mouth.

Wei Linxi pouted behind Xia Meng, Xia Meng saw Wei Linxi's expression from the small mirror on the table, and suddenly became malicious.

"I can chat with him quite well, and we drink too much when we are happy."

Wei Linxi's face darkened, becoming displeased, "I don't allow you to drink so much, and still be with a strange man, who knows what they have in mind."

Xia Meng suppressed her laughter with all her strength, and continued to tease her, "Bai Qi is not a stranger, he is quite nice, what plans does he have?"

"You know people, face, but not heart. You have only known each other for a long time. You don't know if he is a human or a ghost. Maybe it's all just pretending!"

"I don't know if it's just pretending, but it's good for me."

Wei Linxi put down the hair dryer in his hand, held Xia Meng's face from above, and said with a serious face: "I don't allow you to get so close to other men, I will treat you a thousand times better than he treats you, no People can take you away from me."

Xia Meng finally couldn't help laughing, "Just kidding, other people treat me like normal to colleagues, and even try to plot against me, what are they trying to do with me, are they trying to figure out that I have a bad temper or that I have mental problems?"

"Nonsense, my wife is the best."

The next day, when Xia Meng arrived at the campus, she saw the umbrella she lent to Qiqi yesterday on her desk, and a bottle of milk next to it.Unexpectedly, the little girl Qiqi knew how to be considerate.

It's still a day of work without any waves, the same students, the same courses, but they can't be found after shouting at the top of their voices.

Before leaving get off work, Wei Linxi said that he would come to pick up Xia Meng. Xia Meng said that the weather was fine today, and it didn’t rain, so he didn’t think it was necessary to pick him up. Wei Linxi didn’t say anything, but he had to come. , and let her go.

Unexpectedly, Wei Linxi actually came when she got off work, stood at the gate of the campus and waved to Xia Meng, who sighed and packed her things by herself.

"I told you not to come, but you still want to come. It's a sunny day, so what's there to do?" Xia Meng began to ramble before reaching Wei Linxi.

Wei Linxi waited for Xia Meng with a smile, with a smug look on his face, "What's wrong with me picking up my wife? You can't pick me up when it's sunny?"

"Xia Meng." As soon as Xia Meng approached Wei Linxi, she heard someone calling her from behind, and when she turned around, she found it was Bai Qi.

"Teacher Bai, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, are you off work?"

"Well, I'm not on duty for evening self-study today, so I'll leave first."

"Oh, who is this?" Bai Qi passed Xia Meng and looked at Wei Linxi behind Xia Meng.

"My friend, come pick me up from get off work." Wei Linxi secretly squeezed Xia Meng's waist.

Bai Qi nodded, "By the way, have you drunk the milk on the table?"

"Drink it." Xia Mengru realized it only after waking up from a dream, "You bought that."

"Otherwise, who do you think it is?" Bai Qi smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I saw you drank a little too much last night. I'll buy you some milk. It's good for your stomach."

"Thank you, then I'll go first."

"alright, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

After Xia Meng said hello, she quickly turned around and pulled Wei Linxi downstairs. Although she didn't look at Wei Linxi's face, Xia Meng could already feel her murderous aura.

"What milk, did you drink the milk he bought?" Wei Linxi was already upset.

"Hey, I put a bottle of milk on my desk in the morning, and put it together with the umbrella I lent to the students yesterday. I thought the students gave it together, but I didn't expect it to be him."

Wei Linxi hugged Xia Meng's waist, "Next time, don't drink what others bought, it's not safe."

When the elevator came, Xia Meng pushed Wei Linxi into the elevator and said, "Understood, if I knew he bought it, I wouldn't drink it."

For the next period of time, Bai Qi always took care of Xia Meng intentionally or unintentionally. Xia Meng couldn't tell, but he could feel that he did have kindness for him beyond the scope of friendship between colleagues. Although Xia Meng tried his best to reject these kindness, But still can't completely block his "care".

Xia Meng is not as dull as Wei Linxi, she is very sensitive to emotions, even if she tells herself repeatedly that Bai Qi has no other intentions, but because he is too obvious, other teachers and even some students can see it, causing There were some whispers.

"Ms. Xia," Xia Meng was sitting at the desk arranging the students' handouts, when the female teacher at the next table quietly approached and asked, "Mr. Bai, is he chasing you?"

Xia Meng smiled awkwardly, "No, it's just between colleagues, nothing else."

"How is it possible? Teacher Bai treats you well. We can all tell that he has never been so considerate to us." The female teacher raised her eyebrows and pouted.

Xia Meng didn't continue to explain, feeling that the description was getting darker and darker.

The female teacher was still talking: "But to be honest, Teacher Bai is a nice person, handsome, and has a good personality. Don't you think about it?"

Xia Meng raised one corner of her mouth, looked at the female teacher and said, "It's so good, don't you hurry up and fight for it?"

"Do you think I don't want to? It's a pity that people look down on me." After speaking, he sat up straight back, his face seemed to be full of loneliness.

Xia Meng shook her head, picked up the handout and walked towards the classroom.

"Xia Meng." Xia Meng just finished class and was about to go to the office when Bai Qi also came out from the next classroom and called her.

"what happened?"

Bai Qi took out a few test papers and handouts and handed them to Xia Meng, and then said: "This student should be in your class too, please help me bring it to him when you are in class tomorrow, he didn't come these two times for something, I will take it tomorrow The whole day's class, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time for him."

Xia Meng took the test paper, "OK."

Suddenly a few students came out of the classroom chasing and playing, but they didn't see Xia Meng and Bai Qi at the door, so they didn't have time to stop, and subconsciously pushed Xia Meng away, Bai Qi immediately blocked Xia Meng with his arms, That saved Xia Meng from hitting the wall.

Xia Meng withdrew from Bai Qi's arms around her, unhurriedly, it was just his instinct to protect himself, it's not like adolescent boys and girls who don't know the world, who rush to play after the slightest skin contact. Come on, I'm already this old, if I still behave like this, it seems so innocent.

"I'm sorry, thank you." Xia Meng thanked, raised her head to meet Bai Qi's eyes, at that moment, she saw Xu Yang again, Xu Yang who protected her when she was in danger.

"I didn't hit it, did I hit it somewhere?" Bai Qi's arm was still wrapped around the spot, and the slender arm seemed to be casting a spell, attracting Xia Meng to walk towards his embrace.

Xia Meng half-closed her eyes, showing a sad expression, stretched out her hand, and slowly stretched it towards Bai Qi's face.Xia Meng almost fell into the illusion of seeing Xu Yang, and wanted to reach out and hug Bai Qi.Fortunately, Xia Meng woke up quickly, and immediately withdrew the hand that was about to touch Bai Qi's face.

"I'm fine." Xia Meng took a deep breath and walked to the office.

Bai Qi suddenly grabbed her from behind and dragged her all the way to the stairway next to the elevator.

"What are you doing?" Xia Meng took two steps back nervously, maintaining the distance between them.

Bai Qi closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, opened his eyes and rushed towards Xia Meng, Xia Meng was so frightened that he backed up again and again, and forgot to run for a while, until his back was against the wall, and there was nowhere to go. retreat.

Xia Meng quickly glanced at the left and right space, the wall on the left and the stairs leading down to the right, Xia Meng stretched out her right foot without hesitation to escape.As a result, as soon as he took a step, Bai Qi pulled him back, and the handouts in his hand were scattered all over the floor.

Bai Qi clasped Xia Meng's two wrists, passed over her head, and leaned against the wall, Xia Meng's breathing trembled.

Bai Qi bent down to get close to Xia Meng's face, the distance between them was only a few feet away, Bai Qi could feel Xia Meng's breath sweeping over his face, he was a little panicked.

"Why did you run away?" Bai Qi's voice was lowered, like a wild animal panting heavily.

"You scare me so much." Xia Meng had already calmed down, and she wanted to have a good talk with Bai Qi.

"Just now, did you see Xu Yang on me again?"

"Ah."

"do you like him?"

"Like, it's not like between a man and a woman." As soon as Xu Yang was mentioned, Xia Meng felt like a needle was pricking her heart, and her sadness overflowed, "He is my best friend, he saved my life."

Seeing Xia Meng's appearance, Bai Qi couldn't help feeling distressed, and stroked Xia Meng's cheek with the other hand.

"Let me be your other Xu Yang, okay, I will protect you and take care of you instead of him," Bai Qi paused, "I love you."

Xia Meng shook her head, "No one can replace Xu Yang, you are you, you have your own good."

Bai Qi got closer, and could even feel the touch of Xia Meng's eyelashes. He couldn't hold back, he gritted his teeth hard, and if he was a little bit closer, he couldn't help but kiss Xia Meng.

"Then let me, Bai Qi, come to love you, okay?"

Xia Meng stared straight at Bai Qi. At this moment, he no longer had the feeling of a beast waiting to be eaten, but was more like a wounded animal begging for mercy, begging Xia Meng to care about him, and to give him alms. .

Xia Meng also calmed down, although she was still under control, she was not so scared, and wanted to take this opportunity to speak out.

"I have someone I like."

Bai Qi seemed to have expected this answer, instead of being surprised, he asked instead, "Is that the girl who came to pick you up?"

"Yeah." Xia Meng thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, we have been together for almost a year, and then something happened and we broke up, but, I think, I still like her." I spoke my mind.

"But, you are all girls, she can't give you a future."

Xia Meng laughed, which made Bai Qi startled.

"The future, what is the future? The little book issued by the state with the marriage certificate? The state also issues divorce certificates. Marriage is not the future of a relationship, let alone children. Those are all false and artificially defined. But Feelings are not defined by anything, do you think I'm the kind of person who will be bound by these rules?"

Bai Qi raised the corners of his mouth, and pressed his forehead against Xia Meng's, "I just like you like this."
