She clasped her hands and met his eager eyes: "It's Shui Xi, Shui Xi came with me."
As soon as she finished speaking, he passed her and hurried towards the locust tree.
Xia Lan only felt that her heart was stabbed hard by a sharp blade, and her heart shrank in pain. She looked at him with painful eyes, and saw him looking behind the locust tree in a panic.
His expression changed from initial anticipation to later disappointment.
Her fingers pinched hard into the palm of her hand, but she felt no pain because the pain in her heart far outweighed the pain in her body.
Seeing him walking towards her without finding anything, she calmed down her emotions and put a gentle smile on her face.
He stood in front of her, so handsome that he almost took her breath away.
At this moment, there was only one thought running through her mind: In this life, you will love her only if you don't have him, and you won't marry unless you have him!
"You and Shui Xi are from the same magazine?" The tone was very cold, so cold that she felt that summer nights were bone-chillingly cold.
She had appeared in front of him so many times, made excuses to interview him so many times, and even confessed her love once before, but he didn't even know which magazine she was with.
But when she dreams back in the middle of the night, she always thinks of his face embracing her with a gentle smile. It's like a demonic disease that can't be forgotten with just one glance.
She smiled softly, saying that she had ignored him in the past, but from now on she would try her best to make him only attracted to her and love her with all his heart.
"Yes." She responded calmly. Under the clear moonlight, she looked dignified and elegant.
She heard him sigh vaguely, and heard his tone of disdain: "I vaguely remember that you confessed to me before, and I rejected you, why are you here again?"
Stung by his contemptuous tone, she was so heartbroken that she was speechless.
The atmosphere suddenly calmed down.
He stared at her coldly: "Is it related to Shui Xi?"
Her gaze was so sharp, as if he wanted to look into her eyes, see through her, and feel compelled to tell the truth.
Helpless and sad, she nodded.
His eyes became sharper and his tone became deeper: "Did she encourage you not to give up and encourage you to continue to pester me?"
The word "entangled" was stabbed hard by him, and her body was so weak that she almost couldn't stand.
Thinking that he would hate Shui Xi even more if he knew it was Shui Xi who asked her to confess, she finally bit her lip and said cruelly: "Yes, it was Shui Xi who asked me not to give up my love for you and to give up your love."
The residence told me to wait here."
She saw Ling Yucheng's eyes burning with anger and knew that he must hate Shui Xi. A flash of joy flashed in her heart, knowing that maybe this relationship would be possible.
Sure enough - "What's your name?" He took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his emotions.
"Xia, Xia Lan." His voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Xia Lan, you are my girlfriend from tonight. I will go to your company to pick you up from get off work tomorrow night." His words were obviously pleasant, but his tone was as cold as stating something else. Irrelevant things.
At this moment, Xia Lan was completely shocked by the sudden news. With the gorgeous sea of flowers in front of her eyes, she didn't pay attention to his tone.
She wanted to say something with her cheeks flushed, but she saw that his figure had already walked towards the villa, leaving behind only a tall and silent figure.
Like being poured cold water on, the joy disappeared without a trace, leaving only waves of stinging pain lingering in my heart.
Looking up at the night sky, she clasped her hands: He had never been in contact with her and didn't understand how good she was, so he was so cold. She believed that if they spent more time together, he would definitely find that she was better than Shui Xi.
If you learn a lot, you will definitely fall in love with yourself.
After Shui Xi pushed Xia Lan out, he left there quietly for fear of being discovered by Ling Yucheng.
Walking alone on a street with constant traffic, she felt lonely, as if she was the only one left in the world.
But isn't it? The world is huge, but she doesn't have anyone she can rely on for comfort.
I patted my cheek, tried my best to smile, and ordered myself not to be sentimental anymore.
Life is short. If you are happy for one day, you will not be happy if you are not happy. Why should you think so much, seek troubles, and make life difficult for yourself? Besides, it is useless to worry.
After thinking about it, my depressed mood improved a lot. I walked to the roadside, hailed a taxi and got in.
Today she came to the magazine office early to work.
After cleaning the office inside and out, I sat at my desk and sorted the files.
After a while, a colleague came in. It was not surprising that she came to work so early and that the office was so clean. After all, Shui Xi had done this kind of thing a lot in the past.
"Good morning!" Shui Xi greeted his colleagues with a smile when he saw them coming in.
"Okay." The colleague who had woken up early in the morning and was still drowsy was infected by her friendly smile and said hello to her with a smile.
Then, colleagues entered the office one after another.
Every time a group of colleagues came in, Shui Xi would glance over.
She was waiting for Xia Lan to show up. Last night, she almost didn't sleep well all night, always thinking about whether Xia Lan had successfully confessed to her.
How she longed for Ling Yucheng to find true love and happiness.
This is her biggest wish now.
While greeting a colleague, from the corner of my eye I saw Xia Lan walking in, dressed in smart professional attire.
She quickly ran over and dragged Xia Lan aside.
Xia Lan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Shui Xi? You're nervous."
Shui Xi was about to ask about the result when she saw Xia Lan had dark circles under her eyes. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night.
Seeing Shui Xi staring straight into her eyes, Xia Lan realized what was going on and hurriedly covered her eyes, but Shui Xi pulled her down.
"Don't cover it up. We all saw it. Editor Xia, how did things go last night?" Shui Xi asked nervously.
Xia Lan has dark circles under both eyes. There are only two reasons for this. Either she is too sad to fall asleep after being rejected, or she is too excited to fall asleep after being accepted.
Although she went through a lot of mental ups and downs last night, she was sore, painful, happy and miserable, it could be said that she had a lot of ups and downs.
However, thinking that he finally accepted her and was willing to date her, she was still so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, imagining countless scenes with him.
A blush appeared on his cheeks: "He agreed."
"Really?" Shui Xi looked at her happily.
Xia Lan nodded shyly.
Shui Xi shook her hand happily: "That's great, Bian Xia, I'm so happy for you." He was also happy for her.
Feeling the joy of Shui Xi, that kind of joy cannot be faked. She really hopes to get that feeling.
Xia Lan couldn't help but feel guilty for her jealousy towards Shui Xi last night. She smiled at Shui Xi and said, "Shui Xi, don't always call me like Xia Bian Xia Bian. I'm so unfamiliar. After this period of time,
Get along, I have regarded you as a very good friend, just call me by your name."
Shui Xi nodded happily, winked playfully and said, "Xia Lan, I hope you and him can finally achieve enlightenment."
Xia Lan glared at her shyly, her cheeks red as if they were stained with clouds: "I haven't even written my horoscope yet."
After the interview, I went back to the magazine office and sorted out the information collected during the interview. It was time to get off work.
"Xia Lan, let's go." Shui Xi walked to Xia Lan's desk carrying her bag and wanted to go with her.
"Yes!" Xia Lan responded, stuffed the manuscripts she had to finish in the evening into her bag, and followed Shui Xi to get off work.
When we walked out of the office building, it was already a star-studded night.
The two of them were talking and laughing and were about to walk to the intersection to hail a taxi, but Xia Lan suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Shui Xi looked at Xia Lan in confusion, and saw a handsome figure not far away leaning on the car, looking at them with a deep gaze.
Shui Xi's breathing stopped all of a sudden, and she left in a panic, not wanting to leave or not. She really didn't know how to face him, how to bear his accusing and angry eyes.
Xia Lan didn't expect that Ling Yucheng would actually come to pick her up at the door of the magazine. She thought he just talked casually last night.
Seeing him, handsome and handsome under the sun, moon and stars, her heart was rippling and her head was filled with brilliant light, and her heart was beating like thunder as she watched him walk upright towards her.
His footsteps froze in front of them, and their breaths suddenly suffocated.
Just a panic and a joy.
"You're here." Xia Lan said happily.
"Asking knowingly." His tone was cold, and his eyes when he looked at her were even colder.
Xia Lan's eyes were slightly reddened by his words, and the joy just now no longer existed.
Seeing Xia Lan's disappointed look, Shui Xi couldn't help but blame him: "Ling Yucheng, how could you talk to Xia Lan like this?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it. Ling Yucheng already hated her very much, and her saying this would undoubtedly intensify his hatred.
He stared at her coldly, and said with gritted teeth and annoyance: "That's just me. If she can't stand it, don't be with me. But you will be disappointed."
"Why am I disappointed?" Faced with his aggressiveness, Shui Xi became irritable.
"Don't you just want to get her to be with me? If she can't stand it, you won't be disappointed. But, who do you want to introduce to me next?"
The accusing look in his eyes made Shui Xi's heart ache. Just when he was about to say something, he heard him say in a cold tone: "Who do you think you are? Is it my mother or something? I will treat the person you introduced to me well."
Accept? Shui Xi, you are too self-righteous."
His words were like needle pricks. Shui Xi's face turned pale. He clenched his hands and endured the pain in his heart. His voice was choked: "I am doing it for your own good. Xia Lan is a very good woman. I hope you can be happy."
"Ha!" He sneered: "You want me to be happy? Bai Shuixi, do you think you are qualified to say this to me?"
Shui Xi knew the meaning of his words. He was resentful that she would rather be Ling Muze's mistress than be with him who truly loved her. He accused her of being cruel and ruthless. His happiness was cruelly destroyed by her. What qualifications did she have?
Hope he is happy.
Understanding what he meant and how deep his hatred for her was, she turned so pale that she could hardly speak. The pain from her fingertips pinching into her palms prevented her from collapsing due to his words.
As if he felt that his words were not too lethal, he refused to give up and continued: "From the day you stepped out of the villa, there has been no relationship between us. What do you care about me?"
Shui Xi was shaken slightly by his cold words and could hardly stand.
