Why did she feel that the scene in front of her was so familiar, so familiar that it made her heart tremble. She sat down stiffly, and her voice was hoarse: "Thank you."
He took back the handkerchief: "You're welcome."
He finished his meal quickly and walked out of KFC. It was no longer raining outside, and there was a black business car parked not far away, which should be his.
He hugged Guaiguai, turned to her and asked, "Do you need me to send you off?"
Xia Tong waved her hand: "No need, there are buses now."
He nodded without any further force. He took out the keys and walked toward the car, but she suddenly called him from behind: "Mr. Chocolate——."
He stopped and turned to look at her.
"Can you tell me your name?" she asked seriously.
He didn't hide anything and answered quickly: "Qin Mujue."
Qin Muju? Qin Muju? Qin Muju...
Hearing these three words, Xia Tong's heart suddenly jumped without warning. She pointed her hand at herself and was about to open her mouth, but he seemed to have guessed it and said, "I know, your name is Xia Tong."
********** *********
I know, your name is Xia Tong.
He knew...he actually knew that her name was Xia Tong?
On the bus, Xia Tong hugged her body tightly. Why did just one word make something in her heart overflow inexplicably. Some uncontrollable emotions suddenly came to her heart. This feeling made her uneasy.
.
She squeezed her palms tightly and reminded herself: Xia Tong, you have to believe him. In the past year, isn't everything that man has done enough and good enough? How could he lie to you, and how could he harm you?
Forget that feeling, everything is just a dream. In ten days, she will return to the United States with him and continue to start another peaceful life.
When he got home, Gu Haoran was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a book, and the dining table was filled with delicious food.
"You're back?" When he saw her, he stood up and said, "You haven't eaten yet, so let's wash our hands and eat together."
Has he been waiting for her?
Xia Tong, who was just about to say, "No, I've already eaten outside," immediately changed his mind and said, "Yeah."
She knew how hard it was to prepare this table of dishes, and she didn't want to disappoint him. After washing her hands, she sat across from him, picked up the bowl, and felt a little bit tasteful.
Her stomach was still full, but she couldn't eat at all.
He filled a bowl of soup for her: "Red dates and black-bone chicken soup, you have no blood color recently, you need to drink more of this to replenish your blood."
Xia Tong took it with a smile and took a sip. It tasted really delicious, but she really couldn't eat it.
Fidgeting with the soup bowl in front of her, she suddenly asked: "Gu Haoran, before I went to the United States to detoxify, was I living in City A?"
He was stunned for a moment and answered vaguely: "Yeah."
Xia Tong put down the spoon and suddenly became curious: "Then I should have parents, right? Where are they now?" No one jumped out of the cracks in the rocks when they were born. She must have parents. But why, she couldn't find them
?
"You came out of an orphanage and lost your parents very early." He lied.
"Is that so..." The glimmer of hope that Xia Tong had just ignited was extinguished, and she fell into sleep. After thinking about it, she asked unwillingly: "Then I should have friends anyway, right?"
How can a woman not have a single friend besides her boyfriend?
He paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, then slowly put it down. He had enough time to ask: "Why do you ask these all of a sudden?"
Uh...Xia Tong didn't say anything.
He keenly sensed something was wrong: "Did something happen when you went out today?"
"No, no!" Xia Tong hurriedly shook his head and denied it.
The answer was urgent and fast, and every ounce of panic on her face fell into his eyes exactly. He lowered his eyelids to hide the slight hint of unhappiness.
She hid something from him. She had never done this in the past.
"Don't you have some drawings to catch up on?" He didn't want to question her, let alone push her. Knowing that she couldn't eat anymore, he just went with the flow.
"Oh...yes, yes!" Xia Tong stood up: "I still owe An Da a lot of manuscripts. If I don't hurry up, it will be too late." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and ran upstairs.
He stopped her: "Don't stay up too late, take care of yourself."
********** ********
In the room, Xia Tong drew for a while and then began to wander. She couldn't help but think of what happened at the dinner table just now. She could tell that Gu Haoran was hiding something on purpose.
How can a person explain it if he has no parents? If he doesn't even have a relative or friend, wouldn't it be too strange?
Why should he hide it?
At this moment, the sound of a mobile phone ringing suddenly came from the room. Her mind went blank for half a second. Since she left her mobile phone and bag in the taxi the night she last attended the fifth anniversary reception of 'Aimo',
She kept forgetting to buy a mobile phone.
What is the ringtone of this phone at this moment?
She followed the sound and found something flashing in her bag. She took it out and found that it was Xia Guaiguai's cell phone.
Could it be that after she answered the phone for her in the KFC store, she put it into her bag without giving it back to her?
Xia Tong couldn't help but think in a cold sweat, could this be considered a thief's act of stealing from others?
She could no longer care about so much. She pressed the answer button, but her heartbeat sped up again. Because she had just seen that the name on the caller ID was-Dear Daddy.
Daddy——Qin Mujue? It’s that man.
"Hello?" she said awkwardly, fearing that he would regard her as a thief who took advantage of others.
Hearing her voice, he seemed not to expect: "It's you."
Is it an illusion? Xia Tong always felt that there was a faint smile in his words. Is he smiling on the other end of the phone?
"It's me." She admitted with numbness, and immediately declared her innocence sternly: "Let me talk about it first, I really didn't steal Guaiguai's mobile phone on purpose. It's just... it's just... it's just that I don't know either.
Why, her cell phone is in my bag..." She felt so wronged.
"Yeah, I know." He said.
Does he know? Xia Tong was stunned, what does he know?
"Tomorrow I will go to Guaiguai School and return the phone to her!" She continued to show that she was never greedy for money.
"It's okay, the phone is the same at your place. I will buy another one for Guaguai tomorrow."
Xia Tong touched her head, what are these words? Xia Guaiguai's mobile phone is here, how can it be the same?
"I'd better send it back."
He pondered, he just didn't want her to go to such trouble. But if she insisted on giving it away...
"That's it, I'll send him to Guaiguai School tomorrow." She stated her position firmly.
His smile deepened: "Well, I'll give it to you, Miss Xia."
