After listening to Lichen's persuasion, He Xiaomei finally couldn't bear it any longer, broke down emotionally, and burst into tears.
He Lichen heard his sister's cry and knew that she was sad, so he did not comfort her. He wanted her to cry loudly for a while. Maybe this would make her feel better and her mood much better.
It's just that He Lichen was a little annoyed that he couldn't stay with his sister at this time, hug her and give her a shoulder to rely on.
Hearing that his sister's crying had become quieter, He Lichen asked, "Sister, are you feeling better?"
"Well, I'm fine, Lichen. I'm sorry for scaring you just now." He Xiaomei said hurriedly.
"I'm not that fragile, you can't scare me, and..." He Lichen said, "The one who should say sorry is not you, but me. Sister, I'm sorry, I can't be with you now."
Now that I am the man in the family, I want to protect my mother, sister and Xiaoxi just like my father. But now that something happened to my sister, I can't be with her to protect her, and I feel a lot of apologies in my heart.
"Lichen, I'm fine, really," He Xiaomei said. Now she didn't hide anything in front of Lichen and spoke her true feelings, "It's just that you know, Long Yixi is always in my heart...
position, even though I know that it is normal for him to get engaged and get married, but in my heart..."
"I understand, I know everything," He Lichen said, "So sister, you have to think clearly about the facts, and then understand what you are going to do? What kind of mentality should you use to treat this matter? Then how to live the rest of your life
?”
"In your heart, in addition to Long Yixi, there are also our parents, my mother, Xiaoxi and I, brother Qin Yan, and your good friends. We will care about you and care about you. We hope that your life will be happy every day.
Be happy," He Lichen continued, "Sister, you have to cheer up. You can be sad for a while, but you can't be immersed in it. You have to become stronger after being sad, you know?"
There were too many truths, and He Lichen was not going to talk about them, because he knew that even though his sister was emotional, she understood some of the truths and could figure them out, so if I briefly mentioned them, she would know.
"Well, I know," He Xiaomei said, feeling much better now than before, "Lichen, don't worry, I won't let my life be too bad."
"Yeah." He Lichen believed his sister's words.
After that, the siblings talked about other things and changed the topic.
"Sister, I have finished my work here recently and took the time to go to Wangcheng to see you." He Lichen said.
"Okay, then I will go home for the weekend and buy a sofa bed for my house. You can stay at home when you come to Wangcheng," He Xiaomei said, "It's just that the house is relatively small, so you may have to sleep on the sofa bed in the living room."
"It's okay. When I live at home, the sofa bed is more comfortable than the big bed in the hotel, because it's our home." He Lichen said that he probably knew the situation at his sister's place. It was a small apartment and might be a little crowded, but it was after all.
Home is a small home of the He family, which has a different meaning.
Because of Li Chen's words, He Xiaomei felt a lot warmer in her heart. She felt the warmth of family affection, and He Xiaomei's mood also improved.
"Well, then when you want to come to Wangcheng, call me in advance and I will pick you up at the airport."
"Um."
After talking to Lichen and hanging up the phone, He Xiaomei's mood became more stable, she quickly sorted out her thoughts, and then sat down to work.
Although the work efficiency was very slow, He Xiaomei forced herself to concentrate and continue working.
Until noon, although He Xiaomei had not finished her morning work tasks, she was somewhat busy with some work, and there was not much work left. She could just deal with it in the afternoon.
At lunch, He Xiaomei ate alone today because Hao Lu and Zhuo Wenwen went back to the company in the city to deliver materials and should only return to the construction site in the afternoon.
He Xiaomei ate quietly alone, but the sounds around her pulled He Xiaomei away from her thoughts.
The colleagues around them were chatting about the engagement of Long Yixi and Pei Jiale while eating, and they were chatting happily. They were obviously blessing Long Yixi and Pei Jiale.
"Mr. Long and his girlfriend are a perfect match. It seems that Wangcheng will hold a large and luxurious wedding in the near future."
"Yes, Mr. Long and his girlfriend have been together for so many years, and it's time for them to get married."
"I heard that Mr. Long doesn't want to get married yet because his family is forcing him. But thinking about it, the older generation hopes that young people will get married as soon as possible. This is not a bad thing."
"Of course it's not a bad thing. This is a great happy event."
Hearing what these people said, He Xiaomei's heart began to become messy little by little, and she even lost her appetite for food.
In the end, He Xiaomei didn't finish her meal, so she sent more than half of the meal to the aunt at the checkout counter and walked out of the restaurant.
There was still some time before going to work in the afternoon, so He Xiaomei went back to the dormitory to rest.
Just when she lay down on the bed, He Xiaomei's cell phone rang. It was Xiaoxi's call.
"Hey, sister, I just saw the news from Wangcheng. Are you... okay?" He Xiaoxi asked her sister with concern.
"Well, I'm fine, I'm fine," He Xiaomei replied to Xiao Xi, and also told Xiao Xi, "Lichen called me this morning. I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
"But Long Yixi wants to..." He Xiaoxi still couldn't tell her sister about Long Yixi's engagement, because she was worried that her sister would be sad.
"They have been together for so long, it's time for them to get married," He Xiaomei said, and then added, "Xiao Xi, I love Long Yixi, but I also know that it is impossible for me and him, so with this news, I
Totally acceptable.”
Maybe because I figured it out, or maybe it was because of my chat with Lichen in the morning, I couldn't get excited at all now, and I was very calm when I said everything about Long Yixi.
"Well, I'm just worried that you will be sad. Sister, if you can think so, that would be great." He Xiaoxi is still young and is not very good at comforting her sister, but she cares for her sister in her heart no less than Li Chen.
"Well, don't worry about me, everything is fine with me." He Xiaomei said.
"Well," He Xiaoxi responded, and then said, "But sister, our parents will also see this news, right?"
When Xiao Xi said this, He Xiaomei felt nervous. Yes, her parents must have known about this. When she was injured before, her parents also knew that Long Yixi... took care of herself, so now...
…
He Xiaomei thought about it in her mind before replying to Xiao Xi, "Well, our parents should know about it. I will call our mother tonight and have a chat with her."
My parents must be very worried about me now, so in the evening, I call my parents and have a chat with them. By the way, I also tell them that I am fine and tell them not to worry.
