Xi Haitang walked out of the maternal and child health station. The sky was gray, but there was still a bright star in the distance, guiding passers-by.
After checking the time, it was morning in London. She took out her mobile phone and dialed Su Xin's number.
"Su Xin, good morning."
"Haitang... why are you calling me at this time?!" Su Xin was very surprised, having a premonition that something bad was going on with her.
Xi Haitang smiled lightly and said, "Su Xin, tell me what books you have read recently?"
"What's wrong with you, Haitang? Did something happen?"
"No... I'm fine. I just suddenly miss the old days. Su Xin, how are you doing lately?"
"Well, very good. I took the history of European literature as an elective. The teacher who taught the class was an old lady who was over seventy years old. Her wise eyes made people feel peaceful at the first glance. She asked us to read "Gone with the Wind" and then talked about it.
My own feelings, all the students in the class were nostalgic for the last scene in the book where Scarlett and Rhett are looking at each other. Many people said that Scarlett's feelings at that time were the most real and the most beautiful. I thought so too, but
Do you know what the professor said?"
"Huh? What did you say?"
"She said that the most unforgettable thing for her was in the front of the book, when Scarlett looked up at the Twelve Oaks Manor in the wind for the last time and turned to leave. Her slender shoulders stood tall and straight, that proud look.
The strength of character is more impressive than anything she said in the book. There is a kind of strength, and its name is woman."
Xi Haitang's eyes were slightly wet. Women, you have to be strong.
The fog was rising in London, but it was shining brightly. She listened to Su Xin's words for a while before slowly hanging up the phone.
Then, Xi Haitang called Guan Xiaofei's mobile phone again. This time was really inappropriate, but at this moment she really wanted to hear Guan Xiaofei's positive and cheerful voice.
"Begonia, do you know which animal is the most powerful in the world?"
"What?"
"Woman!" Guan Xiaofei was sleeping soundly, but when issues such as women's rights were mentioned, she immediately became as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood. "Haitang, think about it, for someone who bleeds for seven days a month and still doesn't die,
Animals, what else besides women?! Very cool, right?!"
"Ha..." Xi Haitang finally laughed, with tears in his eyes.
Shoulders, straighten up!
The steps are firm!
When I got in the taxi, "Cambrian" was playing on the radio. Faye Wong's heavenly voice was paired with Lin Xi's sentimental lyrics. It was a different kind of sadness...
The story begins with a pair of glass slippers. At first, Cinderella had no memories and didn’t understand how beautiful the little prince was. It wasn’t until the first bodhi grew in the Garden of Eden that we learned to be lonely. We walked and searched in the Swan Lake. In the end, everyone had
This ending is just that after stepping through the glass slipper, wherever your little prince goes, the butterfly rose may still remain in the Cambrian period hundreds of millions of years ago, fearing that it will finally be too late...
"Master, can you please change the channel?"
The driver agreed with a smile and turned the channel to the news channel.
A piece of news was being broadcast on the radio - yesterday, a European woman born with disabled legs bravely climbed the world's highest peak and forever engraved her first step in life at a height of 8,848 meters.
An idea suddenly came to Xi Haitang's mind. She took out the pencil and shorthand notebook in her bag and quickly sketched out a picture. In just five minutes, the work she was going to submit to the "Hand in Hand" competition took shape.
◎◎◎
Time is like water poured into the palm of your hand. No matter you spread it out or hold it tightly, it will eventually flow cleanly from your fingers drop by drop. In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Xi Haitang stood in front of the dressing mirror and was stunned, while Lin Ling stood next to her and shouted, "Ah, Sister Haitang, you are so beautiful! You will definitely be the protagonist tonight!"
Xi Haitang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm here to compete, not in a beauty pageant."
"But...some people are already dumbfounded!" Lin Ling winked slyly.
Not far away, Xiao Muyuan saw Xi Haitang's beautiful figure in his eyes. The combination of layered pleated blouse, fitted cocktail dress and romantic and elegant tulle umbrella skirt highlighted her slender figure and Baroque style.
Exquisite embroidery, showing the ultimate gorgeous and elegant shape, there is a beautiful woman in the north, left behind and independent, looking at the charming city, and then looking at the charming country.
"Begonia...it's almost time, let's go in." A voice as gentle as water but more charming than old wine sounded in her ears.
Xi Haitang nodded stiffly, "Okay."
It was her first time to participate in such a grand event. She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and kept taking deep breaths.
Xiao Muyuan noticed her mood and asked softly, "Are you nervous?!"
"Yeah... I haven't officially entered the venue yet, and I can't breathe anymore."
"Don't be nervous, I'm here."
Xi Haitang sighed lightly, with a bit of helplessness, "Senior, it's because of you that I'm even more nervous! You have rarely appeared in the United States for so many years, and your media exposure is almost zero, but you bought it as soon as you returned to China
Qing Ling's design has caused a sensation in the entire circle. Although you have refused all interviews with the media, the more you do this, the less they will give up. I think you will not be able to escape tonight, so I will definitely be implicated if I stand next to you.
…”
The more she talked, the more terrifying she felt. Xi Haitang almost wanted to run away, but Xiao Muyuan grabbed her, with a hint of playfulness in his expression, "Why do you make me look like a disaster?"
"Ah?!" Xi Haitang was startled, not used to such a humorous person.
Seeing her stunned expression, Xiao Muyuan's lips continued to rise, he took her hand and put it in his palm, caring for her, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you."
His voice was extremely gentle, revealing unconcealed affection. Xi Haitang's face turned slightly red. He wanted to withdraw his hand, but he was afraid that he was too sensitive, so he had to suppress his nervousness and smiled at him.
Her warmth was deliberately restrained, but she didn't seem to know that in Xiao Muyuan's eyes, she was unique and charming.
In the distance, Gu Xijue, who came to attend the meeting on behalf of "Brilliant Jewelry", watched the scene quietly, a deep sadness flashed across his deep eyes. He hadn't seen her for more than a month. She had lost weight, but she was even more beautiful.
It's touching.
As if she had noticed something, Xi Haitang suddenly felt flustered. Turning around, she met those extremely deep eyes, her breathing tightened uncontrollably, and her body trembled involuntarily.
"Haitang, what's wrong?" Xiao Muyuan was surprised by Xi Haitang's mood. He followed her gaze and saw that the eyes of the two men met in the air, and there was a dangerous moment.
