C95 (1/2)
The warm autumn sun shone down on the ground and through the window onto his body. It was warm. The autumn was always so beautiful. The skies were clear, neither hot nor cold, and the roadside of the Jiang City was filled with maple trees and osmanthus flowers. They were all plants that could be seen everywhere, but when autumn came, the Jiang City would always be decorated extremely beautifully.
The maple leaves on the side of the road started to turn red. Xia Ying stared at the maple tree and couldn't help but think, these leaves would fall soon. However, some beautiful scenery was so cruel. Sacrificing, in exchange for this scenery, it was really …
In the end, she broke the awkward silence, and it was still Xia Ying's mobile phone that rang. Xia Ying felt a sense of relief as she took out her phone and saw that it was Qin Shuang.
”Hello?” He couldn't help but have some doubts in his tone. But hearing it into Xue Minghuang's ears, it became a different meaning. Warm and soft, it was really gentle …
”Afternoon break? Have you eaten? I want to invite you for a meal. ” Qin Shuang's tone was always gentle and refined, as though his smile could be seen from his words.
Xia Ying pondered for a moment, and when she thought about the news she had just seen, she actually seemed to be somewhat angry, and she immediately nodded, ”Alright.”
Qin Shuang was obviously shocked by Xia Ying's straightforward reply, ”Then, where should we meet up? Last time I heard you say that you wanted to eat that Western cuisine in the south of the city, right? ”What do you think?”
”Alright.” Xia Ying was also very surprised. She had actually remembered a little preference that was casually mentioned, and it had even been stuck in his memory for more than a month. There was even a hint of excitement in her tone.
Qin Shuang asked for the location, and the two hung up. Xia Ying was still holding onto her phone, not thinking about what would happen to Xue Minghuang at all. Maybe she was really angry at the beginning, but eating with Qin Shuang was not something that Xia Ying would reject. He was a very gentle person, and being with him would be very comfortable.
On the other hand, Xue Minghuang who was by the side was already silent. After calling Xia Ying, he became even more silent, and Xia Ying knew that he had heard the location of the agreement, so she did not bother to say it again.
Xue Minghuang knew that whenever he met Xia Ying, he would become extremely foolish. Admittedly, he seemed to have done another stupid thing. The moment he heard that voice, he knew it was Qin Shuang again. It was actually Qin Shuang again. Listening to Xia Ying and Qin Shuang's tone of voice, Xue Minghuang knew that the two of them were definitely not ordinary friends.
The dull pain in his heart could not be explained, nor did he dare to express it. What kind of delusions and expectations did he still have? It had been five years, but she and Qin Shuang had actually been five years … Then what did he count as to her, Xia Ying, five years ago? What is it? He wanted to ask, but felt that he couldn't.
Always keeping a little bit of expectation, I don't know what's the meaning of such expectation?! Xue Minghuang stopped looking at Xia Ying, and when he arrived at the agreed location, he parked the car at the side of the road, and stepped on the brakes. Luckily Xia Ying was prepared, otherwise, he would have lost face.
Xia Ying thanked him and undid her seat belt, but was unable to open the car door. She felt a little helpless, but she kept her emotions in check and turned to look at Xue Minghuang, staring at him coldly and coldly. She did not say a word, her gaze was similar to when Xue Minghuang first met Xia Ying, when she looked at him.
Xue Minghuang suddenly burst out laughing, only that smile, I really don't know how to describe it, it was bitter and conflicted, ”Really, anyone can?!” It seemed to be a question, a sigh, a statement. The people who heard it did not understand, and the people who spoke did not know what they were trying to express.
It was just that after the two of them were silent for a moment, Xia Ying seemed to have realized something, and was afraid that Xue Minghuang was talking about the Qin Shuang from just now, and that he could even say that he was okay with anyone. Xia Ying instantly felt as if her originally somewhat warm heart had completely cooled down.
”Same here.” Xia Ying looked at him frankly, and no longer had any feelings anymore. It was as if she had told Xue Minghuang that her matter no longer had anything to do with him.
Xue Minghuang unwillingly opened the door and got out of the car. Xue Minghuang looked at her determined back and finally knew that this was Xia Ying. He was waiting by the side of the road and when he finally arrived, he left with Qin Shuang. And he, and he? or was still left in place by Xia Ying.
The scene was the same as it had been five years ago. However, no matter how many times he experienced it, the pain was still real.
At that time, Xia Ying's voice was very soft, but it was enough for Xue Minghuang to hear, ”I hate lying.”
”My identity? Is that important, Xia Ying? I'm your assistant, Zhong Zhen! I will always be your assistant! Can't you forgive me once? Could it be that just because I hid the truth once, my life is over like this? I already know I was wrong, Xia Ying, I really know I was wrong. ”
Xue Minghuang only felt that he had already given his all without holding anything back when he met Xia Ying. But in the end, in Xia Ying's eyes, everything was incomparable to his unimportant identity.
