After staying up until ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Xiaoshuang finally couldn't stand it any longer. Cursing, he dragged Lin Anxin out, who was working on a manuscript: "Stop writing, talk to me!"
Lin Anxin said calmly: "How about I call him and ask him to come pick you up?"
"That's not too shameful..." Zhou Xiaoshuang said reluctantly.
"Oh, forget it then." Lin Anxin replied simply.
"Hey, you don't want to take care of it anymore?" Zhou Xiaoshuang said, "How about... why don't you just ask and ask what's going on?"
Lin Anxin smiled knowingly. Zhou Xiaoshuang didn't want to leave Lan Shen at all now. Even if Lan Shen really did something sorry for her, she would still forgive him as long as Lan Shen was willing to look back.
Lin Anxin called Lan Shen's number and the call went through. Lin Anxin signaled Zhou Xiaoshuang not to speak.
"Lan Shen, I am relieved."
"An Xin, hello. Is Xiaoshuang with you?"
"Yes, she told me the details. What's going on? What are you going to do?" Lin Anxin looked at Zhou Xiaoshuang and said, "I called you behind her back, and she was still sitting there crying sadly. Well, I haven’t been in a good mood since I came back, and I didn’t even eat at night.”
Lin Anxin is now able to do things like lying without conscience.
"I'm relieved that Xiaoshuang is with you. I have some things to deal with now. After I finish them, I'll pick her up in a few days." He said without saying much and hung up the phone.
Lin Anxin held the phone and was so surprised that she couldn't speak for a long time.
"How was it? What did he say?" Zhou Xiaoshuang asked expectantly.
Lin Anxin said: "He said he has something on his hands now and will come back in a few days."
Zhou Xiaoshuang's eyes gradually dimmed, and then he sat weakly on the sofa as if he had collapsed: "He really betrayed me."
This time Zhou Xiaoshuang didn't yell like before, but said with great sadness.
"I was worried that one day he would get tired of me. But I didn't expect that day to come so quickly."
Lin Anxin sighed: "The relationship between two people is like sand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it drains away. I think Lan Zhen just wants to calm down for a few days. It's not that he doesn't have any feelings for you. You were harsh to him before. If you understand a little bit, he should understand in his heart."
"I don't want to either, but I have no experience and don't know how to catch a man. He is my first man, and it is probably because of this that he treats me more special than other women. Lan Shen, I haven't done anything yet. Take me to meet his parents. I don’t know if he is sincere to me, so I will inevitably keep asking him sometimes..."
"They are like this. A rich man's marriage is not completely decided by himself. He has parents, who will always interfere." Lin Anxin patted her shoulder, "But don't worry, although you are not a rich girl, you have a good family background." You are innocent, have good academic performance since childhood, and are a standard good girl. Lan Zhen's parents will not make things difficult for you."
Lin Anxin felt a little uncomfortable when she said this. After all, she was the victim of being eliminated by Zhuo Xi's parents.
Zhou Xiaoshuang settled in Lin Anxin's place. It was lively now, with so many people living in a small apartment.
Lin Ping saw this and took the initiative to give up his room and live in the school. So Lin Anxin and Xixi lived in one room, and Guoguo and Zhou Xiaoshuang lived in one room. But this arrangement only lasted for one day, and Guoguo couldn't stand Zhou Xiaoshuang's big night He treated Guoguo like a wolf, put one leg on her belly, and beat her to death the next day and refused to sleep with her.
Xixi and Zhou Xiaoshuang were incompatible, so the situation changed. Xixi and Guoguo lived in the same room, and Lin Anxin and Zhou Xiaoshuang lived in the same room. Everyone was happy.
Zhuo Xi has not been home for several days in a row. When Zhuo's mother called him several times, he always responded calmly or excused himself by saying he was busy at work.
He had resentment in his heart. If his parents had not insisted on opposing it, he and Lin Anxin would not have reached this point.
Zhuo Changlu wanted to see how long Zhuo Xi could last, but Zhuo's mother was a woman after all, and she felt sorry for her child, so she found time to go to the TV station to block him.
"Zhuotai, Auntie is looking for you." Assistant Wang Zhu said.
Zhuo Xi looked at her mother, slightly unhappy, but still welcomed her into the office and closed the door.
"Mom, why are you here?"
"You know why I'm here." Zhuo's mother sat opposite him demurely and looked at him calmly.
Zhuo Xi did not dare to look directly into her mother's eyes and only said: "I have been busy recently and will be home in a few days."
"Have you gone to see Miss Lin?" Zhuo's mother asked gently.
Zhuo Xi suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhuo's mother warily: "Mom, are you looking for her again?"
"No, I didn't. You are my son, I can tell. You went to see her when you left the hospital that day, right? But looking at your appearance now, she must have rejected you."
Zhuo Xi's sore spot was stabbed hard, and he said angrily: "You and Dad should know well that An Xin and I are where we are today."
Zhuo's mother said: "I know you blame us. But if it happened all over again, I would still do it. At that time, you may have been deeply in love and couldn't see each other's hearts clearly. If she really loves you that much,
, I will be with you this time. But she didn’t. She retreated then, and she is retreating now. Is it really entirely because of us? "
Zhuo Xi was moved by Wei Wei, but still insisted: "Emotional matters cannot be seen too clearly. When two people are together, they are originally motivated."
"Loving in love is based on impulse, and being together must be rational. Marriage is not just about the two of you loving each other, there are many factors to consider. We are people who have been together, and we tell you this because we don't want you to suffer in marriage."
"Mom, ever since I was little, you have always wanted to protect me and prevent me from being wronged. But have you ever thought about many things, if you didn't tell me what to do, I would really give up. Sometimes failure is also a kind of wonderful thing.
, this is the process that I enjoy. You have cut off my right to pursue love in half, and now the person I want can never come back."
Zhuo's mother tried to calm herself down: "Okay, so you are still complaining about me and your father. It's okay, you can go home after you figure it out. But, I have to tell you, you
Dad's heart disease has worsened, and the doctor said he might need heart surgery to install an artificial pacemaker. He wants to see you now, because you are our only child."
After saying that, Zhuo's mother stood up gracefully. No matter what time, she would always maintain this dignified posture: "I have said everything that needs to be said. If you want to pursue your love, Mom will not stop you from today on. Mom only hopes that you will
While being a good boyfriend and husband to others, you can also balance your role as a son."
Zhuo Xi's mind was at a loss. He watched Zhuo's mother walk to the door and suddenly called her: "Mom...when will dad's surgery be performed?"
"The doctor is still making arrangements. You need to be admitted to the hospital for observation for a period of time. All indicators must be suitable before you dare to operate. If it is soon, it should be at the beginning of next month. Mom hopes that at least during this period of time, you will not make your father angry again.
"
What else can Zhuo Xi do? Between his parents and Lin Anxin, he has to choose one or the other. To outsiders, the two groups of people are obviously not in conflict, but for him, they have become a contradiction between you and me. Zhuo Xi
Xi was in pain.
When he got off work, he received a call from Qin Manli.
"Hi, I saw auntie came to see you." Qin Manli said.
"Yeah. What's the matter with you?"
"Why do you sound like that? I just care about you. You are at home every day. If my aunt has something urgent to do, she has to come to the work to find you. Isn't anything going to happen?"
"It's okay, it's just a little family matter. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
"Hey, Zhuo Xi, if you don't like me, don't talk to me in this tone. I just want to tell you that you didn't take away the things you left at my house last time. When are you free to pick them up?"
Zhuo Xi felt embarrassed when she thought about the last time she went to her house, so she quickly said, "No, just bring her to my office."
"Are you sure?" Qin Manli said meaningfully on the phone.
"Sure." Zhuo Xi didn't want to go to her house again even if he killed her.
Qin Manli was also happy and hung up the phone without any more nonsense. The next day, when Zhuo Xi went to work, everyone looked at him ambiguously, and some of them were still covering their mouths and laughing secretly.
"What's wrong, are you sneaking around today?" he asked doubtfully.
Everyone just laughed and said nothing. Wang Zhu looked at Zhuo Xi awkwardly and followed Zhuo Xi into the office.
"Wang Zhu, what happened to them?"
"Zhuotai, someone sent something early in the morning. He didn't say who sent it. There was only a box. Then...then everyone was curious and thought it was delicious, so they opened it and looked at it."
Zhuo Xi became even more confused: "For me?"
"yes."
Zhuo Xi remembered that Qin Manli said yesterday that she wanted to return the things to her. Could it be that she had sent them? But what kind of things could not be brought in person and had to be delivered in a box?
When he opened the box Wang Zhu handed him and took a look, he was stunned for a moment. He reacted in a moment and quickly closed it tightly.
Inside the box is a pair of clean, neatly folded...men's underwear!
Zhuo Xi never expected that when he left Qin Manli's house that day, he was wearing another pair of underwear similar to the one he originally wore that Qin Manli put on. The previous pair, along with his shirt and pants, were contaminated by his own vomit.
.
What's even more outrageous is that Qin Manli put a bookmark in the box in order to prevent chaos in the world: "You left in a hurry that morning, and now I'm sending it back for you."
So the department went crazy. Zhuo Xi, who was known to be single, broke out in a shocking scandal. Everyone was speculating about the underwear girl all morning. Lin Anxin and Qin Manli were all listed as suspects, and even entertainers who had worked with Zhuo Xi
also became the object of suspicion.
Zhuo Xi went crazy, so he took out his phone and called Qin Manli to ask questions.
"What are you doing? Why did you send... to my office?"
"Didn't you ask me to deliver it to the office? I asked you to pick it up and you didn't want to." Qin Manli said leisurely on the other end of the phone, her tone very innocent.
Zhuo Xi: "..." He wanted to say something abusive, but finally said nothing and hung up the phone angrily.
