Xia Xiaobei was walking slowly with his head down. When he heard my voice, he slowly raised his head and looked in my direction.
Under the dim street lights, Xia Xiaobei's eye circles were red and swollen like a peach, and there were two traces of tears hanging on his face.
"Xiaobei, why didn't you call me?" Seeing the suitcase Xia Xiaobei was holding, I roughly understood what was going on, so I didn't ask too much and just took the suitcase from her hand.
.
Xia Xiaobei looked at me blankly for a while, then suddenly flattened his mouth and cried: "Hu Ling——"
I put the suitcase aside, walked over and hugged Xia Xiaobei tightly, patting her back gently without saying a word.
Xia Xiaobei couldn't stop crying anymore, and cried loudly on my shoulder.
Unknowingly, it has been a month since the beginning of autumn, but the temperature in Jiangzhou has not yet started to cool down. I was still wearing short-sleeves, and Xia Xiaobei's hot tears quickly wet my clothes.
Seeing Xia Xiaobei crying so sadly, my eyes also became a little sore and astringent.
At some point, drizzle began to fall in the dark night sky. The raindrops fell on our heads and bodies, making us feel slightly chilly.
It's about to cool down.
"Hu Ling, it's raining. Come to the car. Don't catch a cold!" Dongzi stuck her head out of the car window and called to us.
Xia Xiaobei's crying gradually became quieter, and finally he just lay on my shoulder and sobbed softly.
"Hu Ling, I have no place to live. Gu Xiwen said he doesn't like me at all! He is the first boy I like and the first boy who is really nice to me, but he said he doesn't like me at all.
!" Xia Xiaobei raised his face and said to me pitifully, with tears hanging on his long eyelashes.
I was always clumsy with words and didn't know how to comfort her. I patted her back gently and said, "Have you forgotten that I have reserved a room for you? Let's go home first."
As he spoke, he held her suitcase with one hand and led her towards Dongzi's car parked on the roadside with the other.
Xia Xiaobei lowered his head and followed me obediently.
Walking to the car, Dongzi raised the cell phone I left on the seat at me, mouthed and said to me: "Gu Xiwen just called!"
I nodded to him, indicating that I understood, and opened the door of the back seat, letting Xia Xiaobei get in first, and then I got in.
On the way back, Xia Xiaobei didn't cry again, but silently leaned his head on my shoulder, not knowing what he was thinking.
I held her hand in distress and never let go.
I feel very uncomfortable when I think that my blind matchmaking has made a cheerful and sunny girl like Xia Xiaobei become troubled.
But who can say clearly about feelings?
Maybe this is the pain of youth.
For girls like me and Xia Xiaobei, the pain may come a little late, but it will not be absent because of it.
Back at the villa, Luo Yue and Lu Xiaohong heard our movements and came out quickly. Seeing Xia Xiaobei's appearance, they were both smart enough not to ask any questions.
Xia Xiaobei's clothes were a little damp from the drizzle, and her hair was sticking to her face in strands. She looked a little embarrassed. I was worried that she would catch a cold, so I pushed her to the bathroom and took a hot bath before cooking.
A big bowl of ginger tea, she and I drank a big bowl each.
Luo Yue took this time to decorate Xia Xiaobei's room, put a brand new bedding on the bed, and put her suitcase up.
Since we keep her in the bedroom here, it doesn't take much time to set it up.
"Hu Ling, I want to take a nap." After drinking the ginger tea, Xia Xiaobei put down the bowl and said softly to me, with tears still shining in his eyes.
I took her to her bedroom, and she looked around and said, "Hu Ling, thank you, it's very nice here."
He took off his shoes and got into bed directly.
I smiled slightly and said, "Silly girl, haven't you already said that we are sisters, and my home is your home? How can we say thank you?"
Xia Xiaobei looked at me silently without making a sound.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" I pulled the thin quilt for Xia Xiaobei and asked.
Xia Xiaobei shook his head gently and showed me a smile that was even uglier than crying. "It's very late. You should go to bed early. Don't worry. I can't beat Xiaobei. Just take a nap and you'll be fine."
.”
"Well, I believe you!" I nodded to Xia Xiaobei, "Then you have a good rest and call me if you need anything. I will live in the room next to yours."
"Yeah!" Xia Xiaobei snorted.
Sometimes, when people are injured, they don’t necessarily need someone to accompany them. Instead, they want to hide alone and lick their wounds silently.
When I walked to the door, Xia Xiaobei suddenly called me: "Hu Ling!"
I looked back at her and saw her red and swollen eyes, and felt sour in my heart again.
"Will you like Gu Xiwen?" Xia Xiaobei suddenly asked me.
I was stunned.
Immediately I realized that the relationship between Gu Xiwen and me was that of brother and sister. Xia Xiaobei, who was rejected by Gu Xiwen, would inevitably have doubts.
I can understand her mood, and I don't blame her for doubting me.
"Gu Xiwen and I have been very good friends since we were in middle school. We both like to be with each other, but it's not the kind of like you think, but the kind of like I like you." I said.
"Is there really a pure friendship between men and women? What if, I mean, what if Gu Xiwen likes you?" Xia Xiaobei asked me again.
"When I met Gu Xiwen, we were only half-grown children, so there is indeed a pure friendship between us."
I looked into Xia Xiaobei's eyes, "Besides, Gu Xiwen doesn't like me as much as you said. Did you know that before I was with Xiaohong, Gu Xiwen also reminded me that Xiaohong
Very good, let me not miss him."
"Are you and Lu Xiaohong really in love?" Xia Xiaobei looked at me in surprise.
I smiled and nodded.
Xia Xiaobei suddenly laughed, smiled and started to cry again. He sat up and stretched out his hand to me. I walked back and sat beside the bed, holding her hand tightly.
"I'm sorry, Hu Ling, it's my fault. I have always regarded you as my love rival, and secretly blamed you for alienating you. That's why when you invited me to live together, I rejected you without thinking.
"Xia Xiaobei threw herself on my shoulder and cried.
I patted Xia Xiaobei's back gently and comforted me: "Silly girl, how could I blame you? Didn't we already say it when we were in Jiming Mountain? We will be the best sisters in our lives."
"You really don't blame me for being petty?" Xia Xiaobei raised his face to look at me.
I looked at her and shook my head; "How can I blame you for being petty? This is a petty thing that every girl will have. If Xiaohong had such a close friend, maybe I would also misunderstand it. Moreover, if you are really petty,
, you will definitely not tell me what you are thinking, right?"
Xia Xiaobei smiled sheepishly when he heard what I said. He buried his head in the crook of my neck again and whispered: "I am actually very conflicted during this period. I like Gu Xiwen, but I am also afraid of losing him."
You are fine now. Although Gu Xiwen doesn't like me, I still have you!" This chapter has been completed!
