While packing her luggage in the room, she continued to call Lin Xiangyuan, and finally someone answered.
She asked: "Where is Mr. Xi?"
Lin Xiangyuan hesitated: "Mr. Xi got off work very early today."
"I called his apartment but no one answered."
"Probably...back to Xiyuan."
Mr. Xi is getting engaged tomorrow, and all the employees in the company have taken off early today and are preparing to drink the boss's wedding banquet.
Pei Xiao's frantic movement of stuffing clothes into the box suddenly stopped.
After a while, Lin Xiangyuan asked in a low voice: "Miss Pei?"
Pei Xiao frowned and said slowly: "What is written in the newspaper...is all true..."
As time passed by, she slowly accepted the reality. She had already logged out. How could she still be fake?
From the initial helplessness and crying, to the excitement and indignation of packing, to cooling down and numbness, it all took less than an hour.
She stood in the sea view room in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the cool sea breeze blew on her body. She suddenly felt very empty in her heart, no, her chest was very empty, as if something important had been lost. After thinking about it, what was lost?
She didn't come out, but she just felt that she should go find it, find it, and put it back in order to feel at peace.
Lin Xiangyuan was still trying to persuade her on the phone: "Miss Pei, you'd better accept the reality. If Mr. Xi doesn't say anything, it's not like you're too sad...Miss Yang Yunguang is Mr. Xi's favorite daughter-in-law. This will happen sooner or later, even now
If you don’t do it, you will still have to do it when spring comes after the New Year. You should be more open-minded. The long-term pain is not as good as the short-term pain..."
Pei Xiao threw the phone on the hotel bed. Lin Xiangyuan's voice was still heard intermittently on the flashing call screen. Pei Xiao was no longer in the room.
Xiao Qian bumped into her in the corridor and just said hello, "Sister Pei?", but saw her eyes turning away from him without moving.
When she walked outside the hotel, the sea breeze blew against her body. It was already dark. She didn't say where she was going or asked for a car, so she kept walking forward.
Xiao Qian felt something was wrong, so he chased after her and grabbed her: "Sister Pei, where are you going?"
Pei Xiao said slowly "Huh?" and stopped to look around. She had already reached the back of a desolate reef. She didn't even remember how she got to this place, but she felt that her face hurt and was very cold.
She slowly stretched out her hand and touched it doubtfully. She didn't cry. She said, "I want to go to the airport."
Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment: "Why are you going to the airport so late?...Sister Pei, do you know everything?"
Xiao Qian stopped talking after asking this question, with a worried and guilty look on his face.
Pei Xiao glanced at her curiously: "Why do you feel guilty? You haven't done anything to feel sorry for me... You all know that, right? You knew it a long time ago, and only I don't know... Haha, I don't know...
"
Xiao Qian couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing. At this time, comfort was unnecessary. She thought about it and gave it a go: "Then let me accompany you to the airport."
They rushed to Sanya Airport at 11 o'clock in the night. Fortunately, there was still a plane flying to the imperial capital at 1 o'clock in the morning.
Xiao Qian kept sitting with her in the waiting room, waiting, and poured her a cup of hot water.
She raised her head and glanced at Xiao Qian. Her eyes were red and swollen, but there were no tears, just bloodshot. She said: "I'm fine, Xiao Qian, I'm really fine. Don't worry, I won't do anything."
The thing that worries you is that I left something in the Imperial Capital, and I won’t be at ease if I don’t get it back.”
