Bai Xiao got up from the chair and walked to the window, looking at the scenery outside but couldn't help but feel upset.
When he turned around, he found Jiang Yingmei already standing at the door of the ward, while Bai Xiao still had a look of confusion on her face that she had no time to put away.
"It's the end of the year and you still run to the hospital all day long. How old do you have to be before you, a mother like me, don't feel at ease?"
Jiang Yingmei went to the hospital, put down an incubator, and stared at the sleeping Pei Qiyou. After a while, she took out an iron box from her bag, which was exactly the one Bai Xiao saw in the drawer of the cabinet in Pei Qiyou's bedroom.
: "I thought I should give this to you, so I brought it secretly."
Love always comes unexpectedly, but few couples end up with it. The result is often fragmented. But it is undeniable that the process of love is vigorous, happy and sweet. Even if you sometimes enjoy yourself in pain, you still believe in it.
As long as you have love, you have the whole world.
Bai Xiao sat downstairs in the hospital for a long time, then opened the peninsula iron box on his lap, and found a needle lying quietly inside.
It was with this needle that Pei Qiyou personally drew a budding mandala on her left ankle; it was also with this thorn that she pierced a mandala that was in full bloom little by little.
Pei Qiyou's chest.
They lived in a demolished house. Even though they encountered major changes, they were not overwhelmed by life. On the night after the tattoo was completed, they walked in a quiet alley. The road was bumpy and the cold wind blew. He froze her to death.
Covering his hands with his hands, he exhaled: "Honey, are you cold?"
She snuggled into his arms, and the dull pain in her ankle seemed to disappear instantly, "It's not cold, it's very warm."
Pei Qiyou hugged her tightly, his eyes brighter than the stars in the sky, "I won't let you live here forever, Xiaoxiao, I will make you happy."
Later, he joined the Pei family that had changed hands, started from the bottom, regained the Pei family, and became an outstanding upstart shopping mall in Fengcheng. Some people said that he was lucky, and a pie fell from the sky, giving him a chance to make a comeback.
Who is willing to invest 10 million in a young boy?
Bai Xiao rubbed the needle with her fingertips, and for some reason, those past events came back to her mind.
The phone vibrated over and over again. She turned it off without even looking at it, then got up and left the hospital.
A girl's mobile phone was stolen on the bus, and then a tall young man dragged a thin man off the bus and beat her wildly on the side of the road.
Bai Xiao looked at the girl who was holding the man's arm and trying to persuade him to forget it, and suddenly felt a little gloomy. She was sexually assaulted while reading in the library when she was in school, and he always rubbed against her. This happened for several days in a row, and she couldn't help but
Dare to tell my family, just complain to my deskmate.
The next day she went to read again, and the man came close to her again, but before his hand even touched her leg, he was knocked to the ground.
At that time, how did she hold onto Pei Qiyou, who was like a man descending from heaven? She seems to have lost her memory.
They were sitting on a long wooden bench under the campus tree-lined avenue. The corners of his mouth and left eye were broken, but he still yelled at her: "Bai Xiao, you let that dead old man take advantage of you, don't you think you'll hit her with a book?"
Did he hit him on the head? If he was hit to death, our Pei family can afford to pay for it!"
——————————
She got off the bus early before it reached the Xingyu Capital stop.
Bai Xiao watched a love movie in the cinema. It was adapted from a popular Korean drama many years ago. In fact, she didn't watch much because she already knew the ending of the story. The male protagonist died and the female protagonist ended up on his tombstone.
He sacrificed his life for love before.
After coming out of the cinema, around seven o'clock in the evening, Bai Xiao walked directly back to the capital of Xingyu without taking a bus.
A tall figure stood under the streetlight next to the apartment building, his eyes dimmed in the dim light. Bai Xiao paused slightly, but finally walked over. Pei Qiyou's handsome face looked blurry in the night.
He looked at her approaching and called out softly: "Xiao Xiao."* in a sad and serious tone.
I don't know if it was influenced by the tragic movie just now, but after hearing this cry, Bai Xiao suddenly felt that her nose was sore.
Pei Qiyou's face didn't look much better. Judging from the flush on his face, he probably hadn't gone away from the fever yet. His eyes were bloodshot, but he still stared at her intently, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye. "I woke up."
I didn’t see you when I came over, so I came over.”
A burst of warm liquid surged into his eyes, and Bai Xiao forced it down, just looking back at him indifferently.
Pei Qiyou was silent. He lowered his head, a little embarrassed, and looked like a child who had done something wrong, praying for forgiveness and mercy.
"Go back, and don't come back again." Bai Xiao's tone was a little less patient.
Pei Qiyou stretched out his hand and tried to hold hers, but she put her hand behind her back and quickly avoided his touch.
His hand froze in mid-air and did not put it down for a long time. Bai Xiao looked away. She recalled so many things today that her heart was filled with sourness. It was so beautiful in the past, but then it became so broken when she recalled it.
Pei Qiyou's eyes caught the iron box in Bai Xiao's other hand. The familiar pattern made him open his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just said: "Xiao Xiao."
Bai Xiao didn't seem to hear his murmur and walked directly to the door of the apartment building.
Pei Qiyou followed closely, and Bai Xiao finally turned around unbearably: "What exactly do you want to do?"
Pei Qiyou was stared at by her and stood there in embarrassment.
Bai Xiaohui turned around and continued to take out the keys, but he grabbed her wrist and said in a hoarse voice, "You haven't forgotten at all."
"So what if I haven't forgotten it! Don't you know that those memories can only reflect how humble I have lived these years?" Bai Xiao closed his eyes and did not turn around, "I will also have a tiring day, Pei Qiyou
, I’m tired now, really tired.”
Pei Qiyou suddenly stepped forward and pulled her body over. Under the light, there were faint traces of tears on her face.
Bai Xiao turned his head sideways, his eyelashes slightly drooped, Pei Qiyou also had red circles, and his voice was choked, "You obviously still love me, why do you say you are tired? You didn't throw away this needle, which means you still remember the relationship between us.
Every bit of it, didn’t you say you would always be by my side?”
Bai Xiao wanted to push him away, but he hugged her tightly.
"Let go." When Bai Xiao closed her eyes, tears welled up: "I gave birth to children by other men, don't you mind?"
"I don't mind anymore." Pei Qiyou hugged her tightly and frowned: "Let's start over and forget the past."
"How do I start over? Pei Qiyou, do you really not mind? Then why are you so afraid of letting me mention it? Just like I mind that you and Bai Qinli are getting along, every time I think about it, it's like a dagger is stuck in my heart.
How could you forget?"
Pei Qiyou was pushed away by Bai Xiao forcefully. He stared at Bai Xiao blankly, his eyebrows were picturesque, but at this moment they were stained with moisture, his lips were still a light pink, and his beautiful nose was red. He suddenly rushed over,
He held her face and kissed her hard.
Bai Xiao was accidentally kissed by him, and when she reacted, she struggled desperately, feeling a strong sense of resistance in her heart.
But no matter how much she hit him and pushed him, Pei Qiyou refused to let go. Suddenly, there was a pain in his crotch and a muffled groan. Almost the moment he let go of her, Bai Xiao ran to the lawn next to her and leaned over to retching.
When he kissed her, the image of him kissing other women came to her mind.
Pei Qiyou looked at Bai Xiao like this, and desolation slowly rose in his heart.
Bai Xiao slowly bent down and squatted on the edge of the lawn. She hugged her arms and closed her wet eyes, exhausted.
The cold night wind blew by, but Pei Qiyou couldn't feel any coldness. He just wanted to protect her in his arms, just like that year in the alley, when he held her tightly and made a promise to her,
She is his, has always been his, how could he allow her to withdraw and disappear from his world?
Bai Xiao's slender body trembled uncontrollably, and she bit her lower lip. How could it be possible to forget the relationship for so many years, but what would happen if she didn't forget?
After a long time, she raised her head, her eyes were red, and she said in a hoarse voice: "When I gave birth to a child through artificial insemination, I rushed back to Fengcheng before I was even out of confinement. My health has not been good since then.
I don’t want to spend any more time with you, Qi You, forget it, we can’t go back.”
"Artificial insemination? Why do you want artificial insemination?" An idea seemed to come out of Pei Qiyou's mind. His hands that clenched Bai Xiao's arms trembled slightly, "What did you do without telling me? What did you do!
"His voice was so high that it was distorted.
She told the cruelest truth in the calmest tone. The blood on his face faded, and every word that came out of her mouth was like a sharp dagger aimed at his heart.
The knife stabbed in and pulled out.
Pei Qiyou's eyes turned red: "At that time, Mr. Xu said that he would support me with 10 million yuan to start a business. Does it have anything to do with you?!"
Bai Xiao felt that she was cruel, and originally wanted to hide it from him for the rest of her life, but somehow she said it out, as if it was a kind of catharsis.
She reached out and pushed Pei Qiyou away, stood up slowly, then turned and walked into the apartment building.
Every step was as heavy as a lead ball tied to his feet. Bai Xiao was holding on to the wall when suddenly his vision went dark, a wave of dizziness hit him, and he fell down.
Pei Qiyou, who was outside, heard the violent noise, turned his head suddenly, rushed into the apartment building and saw Bai Xiao on the ground.
Fortunately, she only walked a few steps, rolled down from the top, was hit on the forehead, and accidentally sprained her left ankle.
"Is everything okay?" Pei Qiyou touched her face in panic.
Bai Xiao brushed his hand away and reluctantly tried to stand up, but fell back again. The heartbreaking pain in her ankle made her frown.
Pei Qiyou suddenly picked her up in the air.
"Let me go! I can walk up there by myself."
But he remained silent and let her slap her face with her waving hand.
The slaps were crisp and loud, and the voice-activated lights in the apartment building that had just dimmed instantly illuminated the corridor and illuminated his red and swollen cheeks.
Pei Qiyou didn't look at her, and carried her up the stairs, taking each step very steadily.
Bai Xiao no longer had any resistance. She turned her face away, and the corners of her eyes hurt terribly.
After Pei Qiyou stepped onto the last step, he stopped and stopped walking forward, just looking straight ahead.
Bai Xiao noticed something strange, raised her head from his arms, turned her face and looked over——
At the corner of the door of the apartment, there was a man leaning against him. He was wearing a black turtleneck thin sweater, a dark blue coat, straight trousers, and a pair of shiny leather shoes. He stood there with his legs straight and slender, holding a hand between the fingers of his right hand.
A cigarette, he was not smoking at this moment, but looking through the smoke.
His eyes were extremely pale, almost indifferent, as if he were looking at two unknown strangers.
Bai Xiao's eyes moved downwards. There were several cigarette butts at his feet, as if he had been waiting at the door for a long time.
