Xia An realized that Mr. Ye had the ability to speak plainly but with amazing words. Xia An thought about this sentence twice in her mind. After confirming what the other party meant, she asked weakly, "Are you divorced?"
Ye Jin: "..."
Her daughter is already so old, Xia An can only think of this possibility.
Ye looked at Xia An carefully and replied, "No."
"Then your daughter..." Xia An said in a low voice, because judging from the other party's reaction, he seemed reluctant to continue mentioning this, which is normal, everyone has their own privacy.
Xia An finally understood why Mr. Ye gave people a sense of distance. On the one hand, she was unsmiling. On the other hand, she seemed to be the same as herself in not wanting to talk too much about herself to others.
The environment of Qingba is very suitable for chatting.
"Miss Xia."
"Um?"
After quietly drinking half a glass of wine, Ye Jin finally started to get straight to the point, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
"With me?" Xia An became more and more confused about Ye Jin's words and deeds tonight. However, she still had something to do with herself instead of just drinking. But what could Ye Jin have to do with her?
Ye Jin stared into Xia An's eyes and continued, "Are you single now?"
This is another unexpected question, and it is easy for people to imagine.
"I'm single..." Xia An's heart beat faster, because based on her experience, in this situation, 99% of people would say "Will you be my girlfriend?"
It just so happened that at this time, the lyrical music in the bar was ambiguous, which was extremely suitable for expressing ambiguous feelings.
Xia An looked at Ye Jin's face, it was so beautiful and otherworldly, how could it be possible... Xia An unconsciously clenched the wine glass in her hand, feeling that her imagination was too rich and she dared to think of anything.
"Are you twenty-three?"
Ye Jin confirmed his age again.
This chat trend made Xia An increasingly puzzled, "Yes..."
"It's legal age for marriage."
"Mr. Ye, you..." At this time, Xia An seemed to understand something. Is it possible that Mr. Ye still has the hobby of being a matchmaker for others? It's true that people should not be judged by their appearance. Xia An asked with an incredulous smile, "Aren't you... going to give
Shall I introduce the person?"
"No." Ye Jin denied calmly.
"Oh..." Xia An picked up the wine glass and took another sip of wine.
"Let's get married."
"Pfft..." Miss Xia originally planned to take a sip of wine to calm down, but when she heard Ye Jin say these words, she almost choked to death with a sip of wine.
It caught her off guard even more than "Be my girlfriend".
Xia An coughed for a while, she looked up, and Mr. Ye thoughtfully handed over a tissue. There was no emotion on her face at all, and she said "let's get married" more normally than "let's drink together".
"We... get married?" Xia An calmed down a little. She smiled first, then held her head and asked, "Are you kidding me?"
Even though Xia An said this, Ye Jin never looked like a joker, and she seemed serious when she proposed marriage.
"I mean marriage by agreement."
"Marriage by agreement?"
"You should know something about my grandma's situation..." Ye Jin slowly explained to Xia An.
Mrs. Liang's physical condition is only about one or two years old. Although the old lady doesn't say anything, she has been looking forward to her marriage in her heart, and she is always afraid that she will not be able to wait until that day. Ye Jin knows this very well, and she
Marriage was also a temporary solution, and she didn't want the old lady to leave with regrets.
After hearing this, Xia An wanted to say something but didn't know what to say. She could only say that the whole thing happened too suddenly. From the time Ye Jin proposed marriage to now, she was still confused.
Marrying a woman I've only met three times...?
"How much is your father's surgery fee?" Ye Jin changed the topic and jumped to a sensitive topic.
This is very sensitive for Xia An.
Xia An looked at the person in front of her and fell silent. Sure enough, she heard everything.
Seeing Xia An's silence, Ye Jin added, "After we get married, I can bear the cost of your father's surgery, including subsequent treatment costs..."
"Mr. Ye," Xia An lowered his head and bit his lip, interrupting Ye Jin's words, then raised his head stubbornly and said with a smile, "You'd better find someone else, I'm not suitable for this."
Ye Jin thought she was worried, "Don't worry, it's just a formal marriage, I won't ask you to do anything."
Xia An still stubbornly shook his head and refused.
Regarding her own affairs, Miss Xia feels that most of the time she can persevere just by gritting her teeth and does not need to rely on others.
Although marriage by agreement sounds mutually beneficial, Xia An would rather work harder on her own than let others interfere.
Ye Jin realized that she had miscalculated. She thought Xia An would agree. After all, Miss Xia was in urgent need of money, and this was a good opportunity. "Why?"
"Do I have to give a reason?"
"I know it's sudden. You can go back and think about it carefully. You don't need to give me a definite answer tonight." Ye Jin asked the waiter on the side for paper and pen, lowered his head and wrote a series of numbers on the white paper, "If you like,
Call me."
Xia An didn't answer and continued to drink his wine.
It turned out that this girl was so stubborn. Ye Jin once again changed her impression of Miss Xia. She originally wanted to leave just like that, but before leaving, she couldn't help but said "drink less" to Xia An.
When Xia An looked up again, the people around her were gone, leaving only a piece of white paper with a number written on it. She stared at it for a long time...
Xia An didn't sit alone in the bar for too long, so he walked out and looked at the night sky. The moon was blocked by thick cumulus clouds, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
It's not even eleven o'clock yet, and there are several unread text messages on my phone. I looked at them and saw that they were from Ke Ruochu, just a few minutes ago.
--sorry
——I didn’t mean it, I was worried that something would happen to you
Xia An didn't look back and continued walking aimlessly on the street. Tang Zhen suddenly came to Ye Xie tonight. Xia An knew without thinking that it was Ke Ruochu who said it, because apart from her, only Ke Ruochu knew about it.
So why bother talking to others about your own affairs.
Leaning against the lamppost on the street, Xia An stood blankly. Suddenly he felt a little tired and didn't want to go back to the dormitory. He actually found that he had nowhere else to go.
Ke Ruochu called, but Xia An was angry and didn't answer the call.
At the same time, Ke Ruochu, who had just finished his shift, was in a panic. Tang Zhen suddenly couldn't be reached. He sent messages to Xia An but didn't reply, and no one answered his calls.
Xia An must be angry with her.
Ke Ruochu kept texting "I'm sorry" to Xia An, and her nose became more and more sore. What should she do if Xia An starts to hate her in the future? She finally got closer to Xia An...
Five minutes later, when Ke Ruochu called for the third time, Xia An still answered the call. She knew that Ke Ruochu had good intentions but was just simple-minded. If she didn't answer the phone, Ke Ruochu would not be able to sleep all night.
"You finally answered the phone... Tang Zhen didn't make things difficult for you, right? I'm sorry... I..."
Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Xia An was sure that Ke Ruochu was crying. She had no choice but to say that he was safe, "I won't go back to the dormitory tonight."
"If you don't come back, then where are you, in the dark of night? I'll come over to accompany you." Ke Ruochu said hurriedly.
"No, I'm with my friends." Xia An's attitude was cold and he didn't want to say a word to Ke Ruochu.
Ke Ruochu told Tang Zhen about her part-time job, which really made her feel bad. After all, she didn't have many friends. The only one she had a close relationship with was Ke Ruochu. But...
"Xia An——" The other party just hung up the phone. Ke Ruochu knew that it was useless to be anxious. Xia An's reaction was obviously that he was angry and did not want to pay attention to him.
Ke Ruochu rubbed his forehead and regretted it so much. During this time in the emergency department, his mind was so busy. So why did she call Tang Zhen to go? Now Xia An simply doesn't go back to the dormitory.
——
Ye Jin called for a driver. As soon as she got out of the underground garage, she saw Xia An leaning on a street light pole. She lowered her head and kicked the ground with the toe of her high heels.
There was no smile on his face.
"Stop here."
Ye Jin remembered that every time she met Xia An, the corners of her mouth were raised. Whether in a nightclub or in the hospital, even when she was arguing with someone at night, she always had a disdainful sneer on her face.
Looking at Miss Xia who was expressionless at this time, Ye Jin suddenly smiled, as if he saw himself in the past. Perhaps this Miss Xia was even more stubborn than himself in the past.
After another muffled thunder, the raindrops began to rain down, getting heavier and heavier, making it impossible for anyone to hide.
Xia An raised his head and walked towards the 24-hour convenience store not far away. He was still half wet from the pouring rain.
There was a row of seats outside the convenience store. Xia An sat down on the one next to the wall and wiped the raindrops on his body with a tissue, but it almost didn't help.
She stared blankly at the water splashing on the ground. She didn't know where to go anyway, or how long she could sit there tonight.
I'm really tired.
Xia An leaned her head against the convenience store window and squinted her eyes, feeling that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. She admitted that she was trying to be brave. In the past half month, she had often slept less than four hours a day.
Going back and forth to hospitals, schools and nightclubs, all I have to do is keep my spirits up. Sometimes I admire myself. As expected, as long as you are under pressure, you will never know how much potential you have.
The black car stopped outside the convenience store.
The thunderstorm was just for a while, but now it has turned into a light drizzle, which is still annoying.
Ye Jin took a spare umbrella and got out of the car.
She saw Xia An sitting on the blue plastic seat, leaning against the window and falling asleep. Her hair and skirt were slightly wet from the rain, and her palm-sized face looked particularly haggard under the light.
Ye Jin lowered his head and his eyes fell on her pursed thin lips. Even when she was sleeping, her nerves seemed tense and she was full of stubbornness.
Xia An slept very lightly, maybe it couldn't be called sleep, she just squinted her eyes, so when she heard the footsteps beside her, she immediately opened her eyes with alertness.
Ye Jin held an umbrella and appeared in front of Xia An again, "Get in the car with me and take you back."
After the heavy rain, the dullness and depression in the air was washed away, making it much more refreshing.
Xia An looked at the rain and said lazily to Ye Jin, "When the rain stops, I will go by myself."
It's rare to see her not smiling when she talks, but Ye Jin likes to see her not smiling. Sometimes smiling is much more tiring than not smiling.
"Will it stop for a while?"
The two of them looked at each other like this, and they were in a stalemate for a while.
Xia An didn't say anything, thinking that Ye Jin would leave, but he didn't.
For a long time, Ye Jin looked at Xia An and said proactively, "If you don't know where to go, you can go to my place first."
It was as if my thoughts were suddenly revealed.
Xia An didn't look into the other person's eyes, so he was always moved by her inexplicably.
"You don't have to worry about me."
Ye Jin glanced lightly and once again peeked into Miss Xia's thoughts, "Stop being so harsh."
