Chapter 40
Chapter 40
In Linghai in early July, the heat blends with the salty and humid atmosphere of the sea.
For Xiao Yige, time seemed to stop on the day when Su Hang left.
She always thought of the moment when they almost crossed the line of ambiguity, of the answer that Suhang had already swirled between her lips and teeth, and of Suhang's retreating steps.
The 1 step between them, Suhang has not taken it for a long time.
Whenever Xiao Yige thinks of these things, she is distracted, and she is also absent-minded when the family eats snacks and watches variety shows. She can't help but think about what Suhang is doing at this time.
Xiao Manyi drank freshly squeezed watermelon juice, saw her disoriented appearance, and finally couldn't bear to say: "I've always been in a daze since I went home, what's wrong?"
Gao Wenyuan, who came back with half an iced watermelon in his arms, also echoed: "Yeah, since I came back, whenever I have nothing to do, I will be in a daze. It wasn't like this before."
Xiao Yige came back to his senses, and let out a sigh of relief by hugging the pillow, "Don't worry, it's fine."
"I don't know about you yet," Xiao Manyi didn't believe her, she both ruthlessly exposed and asked with concern, "What happened with Suhang, I don't think you look like a broken love."
It's not that there is no sadness, but it's not the kind of reaction that is occupied by sadness after losing, it's more like waiting for something.
Xiao Yige glanced at Xiao Manyi, who was planning a strategy, had to give up struggling, and smiled with a relaxed expression: "She...she ran away in the middle of her sentence, I don't even know whether she wants to be with me or not.
"Have you asked her yet?" Gao Wenyuan dug the watermelon meat into a bowl, distractedly asked her, "Maybe there's something delaying it, it should be fine after she finishes processing it."
Xiao Manyi thought about it and asked, "How long has this happened?"
Xiao Yige sank into the sofa, bent his legs and thought for a while: "There are a few more days in a week."
"There's something going on here," Xiao Manyi made the decision without thinking too much, paused for a while and took a sip of watermelon juice before opening her mouth in thought, "This kid is not a playful person, and the possibility of being delayed by things is very high. "
At her daughter's birthday party that day, she observed Suhang for a long time.
This child is completely different from Cheng Zhiang, probably because he left the Cheng family when he was eight years old and received the love of his mother.
If this child grew up under Cheng Zhiang's parents, he might not be able to grow into what he is now. With Cheng Zhiang around, no matter how good the seedling is, it will grow crookedly.
"I know," Xiao Yige recalled that night again, the water in his eyes was gentle and melancholy, "I don't think I misunderstood her behavior before she left, but now I don't want to ask her. I gave her a lot of hints, As long as she understands the nature of the relationship between us, she will know what I want, and this last step can only be completed if she walks."
Maybe her wishes are contradictory, she wants to get Suhang, but she can't bear to take every step by herself.
The relationship she wants is not to touch Suhang with tenacity, she doesn't want Suhang to accept this relationship passively, what she wants is for Suhang to respond because of her heart.
She thought that after walking the 99 steps between them, Suhang would take the last step and hug her into his arms. This is the appearance of love she wanted.
Without Suhang by his side, Xiao Yige's life returned to a state where work took up his schedule.
She asked Secretary Qiao to fill up her time so that she would not have too much time to think about the answers Suhang would give her.
The person who interrupted her tumbling state was Grandma Chang who finally made the glutinous rice dumplings into a satisfactory taste.
When the call was received, Sunset was blending with the night.
Just as Xiao Yige closed the document, he frowned and rested in the spacious boss chair.
Hearing Grandma Chang's joyful voice, she subconsciously frowned.
"Yige, grandma's glutinous rice dumplings are very delicious, and they smell like roses. Would you like to come over, grandma hasn't seen you for a long time."
Xiao Yige glanced at the time on the computer, and the frost-like eyebrows and eyes of that person flashed across his mind instantly, and the thoughts she deliberately suppressed gathered into waves in his heart.
After hesitating for a while, she softly responded to Grandma Chang: "Grandma has worked hard, I'll be there soon."
Even if you can't see it, you shouldn't let down grandma's hard work.
She bought some fruits and daily necessities on the way, and entered the courtyard gate stepping on the moonlight flowing into the courtyard.
"Grandma, I'm coming."
She put away the personal feelings in her heart, and smiled brightly at the old man who packed the herbs.
"Yi Ge is here..." Grandma Chang hurriedly wiped her hands and came over, laughing so hard that she couldn't open her eyes, "Why did you buy so many things and come here? Do you want to stay for a long time this time?"
Xiao Yige's smile narrowed a bit, and he shook his head gently, "No, grandma, these are all for you. Sometimes Hanghang can't take care of you at work, and it's inconvenient for you to be alone, so I'll buy more for you." Save something."
She put the bag on the tables and chairs in the yard, and the familiar aroma of herbs in the air made her a little dazed.
Before she knew it, it had been half a month since she left here.
During this period of time, if it wasn't for the side of the resort organized by Mo Feifei, she would have no connection with Suhang.
The time before meeting Suhang was used to think about their feelings, so what did Suhang do these days after they separated from the resort.
She was a little lost again, and slowly straightened up.
Grandma Chang didn't know the twists and turns between them, so she went to the kitchen like offering a treasure and brought out a small plate of glutinous rice dumplings.
The cherry-colored soft dumplings are in the form of roses in full bloom, and the green branches and leaves are painted on the plate, which contrasts delicately and vividly with the glutinous rice dumplings.
Grandma Chang handed her the plate and said, "Grandma still needs to pack the herbs. You can take them upstairs and eat them. Xiaohang will be back in a while. You can eat them together."
Xiao Yige smiled: "Okay."
Nothing has changed in the attic. Notebooks and documents are still placed on the desk, showing traces of life these days.
She tidied up her notebooks, as if she had never left this place, but she couldn't help being nostalgic for the scent of cedar in the air.
From the desktop to the bookcase, to the clothes they hang together in the closet.
Suzhou and Hangzhou have the most light-colored clothes. I don’t know if I have a deep understanding of my low-temperature characteristics, and I can feel that wearing light-colored clothes has the most distance and highlights the extreme cold temperament.
Xiao Yige smiled, and when he closed the closet door, he squeezed the air out, and the cedar fragrance was suddenly strong.
It's just that after a few seconds, the fragrance didn't fade away, and her heart beat fast.
"Are you okay these few days?" A clear and pleasant voice sounded behind him, so deep that no emotion could be heard, and so flat that the interrogative sentence became an imperative sentence.
Xiao Yige bit her lip, trying to suppress all the doubts and thoughts in her heart, but the barely audible tremor in her words completely exposed her disguise: "It's okay, how about you?"
"I..." Suhang paused for a moment, then smiled lightly, "It's okay."
Xiao Yige controlled his emotions well before turning around.
In just a few days, the ambiguity that had only returned to temperature was frozen again. They were clearly looking at each other, but there was an impassable glacier between them.
Xiao Yige stretched his expression as much as possible, raised his chin and pointed towards the table, "Grandma made glutinous rice dumplings, do you want to eat them together?"
"Okay." Suhang nodded.
They came to the table together and pulled out the chairs to sit down, their attention was distracted, Xiao Yige saw the circle of black and blue under Su Hang's eyes, and it seemed that even the outline of his face became thinner.
"Are you really okay?" She couldn't help asking again.
If Suhang had to be distracted by something, the private affairs between them could be put aside first, as long as Suhang was willing to tell her and share with her.
"It's okay." Suhang didn't hesitate for a moment, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Try the glutinous rice dumplings made by grandma. I have eaten them a few times, and they are delicious."
While talking, she poured Xiao Yige a cup of herbal tea and pushed it over.
The glutinous rice dumplings are soft and sweet in the mouth, and the aroma of roses overflows when you bite the skin. It is even more delicious when paired with herbal tea.
Xiao Yige ate in silence, every mouthful was pushing back the thoughts that were about to rush out of her body.
After the last soft dumpling was eaten, she took a sip of tea and did not move for a long time.
The person sitting opposite was also quiet.
The phone message reminded them that time was passing, Xiao Yige didn't read it, and raised his lips and said, "I should go."
"I'll take you out." Suhang stood up, with no hint of retention in his eyes.
The suppressed emotions piled up into a mess in Xiao Yige's chest, her heart ached, she pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Okay."
She suddenly felt that the person in front of her was so strange, and she even had an illusion, was this person really Suhang who would lie in her arms and cry coldly.
They were silent all the way, Suhang sent her to the gate of the small courtyard.
"Go back, I'm leaving." Xiao Yige nodded and said goodbye, and opened the door to get in the car.
She didn't pack her luggage, as long as there are things here, she has a reason to come back.
"Yi Ge!" Su Hang suddenly stopped her, and suddenly walked towards her a few steps, but stopped very quickly.
"Huh?" Xiao Yige stopped his movements and turned his face sideways, a ray of expectation grew silently.
She couldn't see that Suhang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth almost with all his strength, and endured the reluctance to part, and said in an ordinary tone as much as possible: "Don't go to Cheng Yuzhe's appointment, don't go to the Cheng family If you have contacts, you must bring someone with you when you go out."
After talking with Cheng Zhiang in the study that day, Xiao Yige was also in danger.
She wants to separate from Xiao Yige temporarily, otherwise the intimacy revealed will attract Cheng Zhiang's attention and put pressure on her.
She was worried that when she was not by Xiao Yige's side, Cheng Yuzhe would make a comeback, and if Cheng Zhiang instructed him to use some shady means, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xiao Yige smiled when he heard the words, "Is there anything else?"
"And..." Suhang's heart was fluctuating, guilt and tenderness appeared in his eyes, and he said cryptically and sincerely: "Wait for me for a while, let me settle the matter, and then I have something to tell you."
Xiao Yige let go of the door handle, turned around, "Give me an exact time, I can't wait endlessly."
In fact, she wanted to agree immediately, she could wait as long as she wanted for the answer, but she wanted to put pressure on Su Hang.
At this moment, she was a little more untimely and vicious, because she really minded that Su Hang had something to hide from her.
It was agreed to share happy and unhappy things, but now what is serious enough to prevent Suhang from confessing, she, the person concerned, was kept in the dark, and she couldn't get a confession no matter what.
Suhang solemnly said: "Three months, give me three months."
"Okay, just three months." Xiao Yige laughed silently, and then opened the car door without stopping.
Su Hang stood aside and wanted to watch her leave, but she felt so sore in her heart that she dared to bite her lip tightly after driving the car behind her following eyes.
--------------------
The author has something to say:
Yige: (patting Hanghang) Go, I will go home in three months.
In fact, Hanghang’s concealment in this place is inevitable, because frankness will lead to Yige’s attack. Of course, Xiao’s mother may not stop Yige from helping Hanghang. After all, it is her daughter’s feelings, but this is what Xiao’s mother does not want to see. , It is also an impurity that should not be mixed in their relationship, so this period of growth is necessary.
