"Wait for me? It can't be? " Thinking about what Sheng Yun said to me in the corridor, I couldn't be more surprised.
"I reserved the LV limited edition bag very early on. I originally wanted to give it to you, but I didn't expect my brother to be the first to swipe the card." Xia Yiwa said to me with a smile as she pushed a LV box in front of me.
Limited Edition... Hearing those three words, I sucked in a breath of cold air.
"When did your brother become so generous?" I sat down, incoherent with surprise.
"He learned about our childhood from Principal Xia, and he also asked me a lot about our past. Actually, my brother is a person with a cold exterior but a warm interior. He looks like an ice cube, but after interacting with him for a long time, you will realize that his heart is actually very kind. " "Shubei, although my brother didn't say it, he understood that he made up for the grievances that he caused.
"What happened today? All the while speaking up for him? " I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as I looked at Xia Yiwa. I kept having the feeling that her tone of voice was a little strange, with a hint of something that I couldn't detect … Heartache.
"No, we made things clear today. My brother said that he didn't want to delay me and would find a suitable time to tell the outside world that we broke up." Xia Yiwa said.
Her expression was slightly sour, but it was quickly replaced by a smile. "Shubei, I feel that there's a special relationship between you and my brother. Actually, I feel that …"
"Yiwa, don't say anymore. There's no possibility between your brother and me." "He doesn't like me, and I can't possibly like him."
Xia Yiwa sighed softly. Since I didn't want to bring it up, she didn't continue the topic.
After a little while, she said carelessly, "My aunt is going to have a branch in the country, ready for me to run. After the new year, I won't be working with my brother anymore. Shubei, do you want to start a business with me? "
"Branch office?" "About what?"
"Cosmetics, shopping at sea for sale. It's only just springing up, aunty is also doing this overseas." Xia Yiwa said with a smile, "If it works well, the profit will be very substantial."
"If you make up your mind, of course I'll support you. However, I don't want to give up my current job, but I'll definitely be able to help you in the beginning." I said sincerely.
"En, I already have a rough idea in my heart. If you can help me, that would be even better." After Xia Yiwa finished her sentence, she suddenly became depressed again. "What a pity now …" I still haven't seen my parents. I don't know when I'll be able to reverse the case for them. "
Her parents didn't commit a lot of crimes back then. They were only involved in a major case, which resulted in them being unable to see each other ever since they were imprisoned. I understood what Xia Yiwa was feeling and quickly held her hand.
"The case back then was too big, and the news is still going strong. Yiwa, as long as we can find the right time, we'll definitely meet them. " I said quickly.
After we talked for a while, I got up and went to take a bath. When I lay down to rest, I actually received a message from Sheng Yun: "How's the bag?"
"Very well, I will take good care of it, thank you." Out of politeness, I replied.
"Come see me tomorrow!" He quickly sent it back.
"No, I have matters to attend to tomorrow." I quickly replied.
"You're challenging my patience again!" I could see the look on his face.
I didn't reply to him. In fact, I did have something to do. I had already booked a plane ticket back home, and Tianyi had already left for the airport with his luggage.
Before I left, I only told Xia Yiwa and Shi Jian about my trip.
When I got off the plane, it was snowing heavily in my hometown. A distant cousin of mine met me at the airport in a car and took me back to my hometown in the countryside.
That afternoon, my cousin accompanied me to my parents' and grandma's cemetery. It was very cold in our hometown and the ground was covered with thick snow. My cousin and I walked down the path to the place where my parents and grandma were buried.
No matter how strong I acted, when I saw my parents and grandma's tombstone, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I fell to my knees and kowtowed in front of their grave for a very long time.
Perhaps it was because I had caught a cold in the afternoon, but on the night I returned to my cousin's house, I had a fever.
The sickness came like a landslide. This sudden high fever disrupted all of my plans and made me drowsy.
All I could do was lie in bed for a few days in a daze. I kept dreaming, dreaming about my parents, my grandma, and many memories of the past … He even dreamed of Sheng Yun.
In the dream he took my hand, his eyes so gentle, and when I felt hot he put a cold towel on my forehead, and when I felt cold he took me in his arms, and when I felt thirsty he fed me water by the mouthful, and when I felt tired he hummed softly and coaxed me to sleep, and even fed me bitter medicine by the mouth …
I had always thought I was hallucinating in a dream, but I had never expected him to lie down beside me when my illness began to heal and my fever began to subside.
I was still in the guest room of my old cousin's house, but beside me lay a real, warm, familiar body!
He was dressed in a shirt, breathing evenly with his eyes closed. His long, raised eyelashes were exceptionally sexy, and his hair was slightly disheveled.
I moved slightly and he woke up at once. When he turned his head and saw that I had woken up, he asked me happily, "Are you awake?"
"Why are you here?" I rubbed my eyes and asked softly.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something. He let go of my hand, bounced up from the bed, quickly tidied up his clothes, and pretended to be indifferent. "No reason. Are you better?"
"Don't tell me you're just passing by. This is my hometown in the backwater area." At that moment, I looked at him and couldn't help but giggle.
"I …" He was speechless for a moment, then, looking flustered, he bent down and poured me a cup of water from the thermos. He handed it to me and said coldly, "Drink."
"Tell me why, or I won't drink." I looked at him as he pretended to be aloof, and I couldn't help but want to see through his mask.
"You start to get cocky just because you're better?" He frowned slightly and put on an expression that seemed as if he was a thousand miles away, "Drink the water and eat the medicine."
I obediently followed his instructions and took my medicine. I was surprised to see him skillfully pouring water for me and handing me the medicine. I felt a little touched.
At this time, my cousin opened the door and, seeing me awake, said to me with a smile: "Bey, you're awake at last, thanks to your boyfriend here taking care of you. You had a high fever before this, but now that he's here, your fever is slowly receding. "
"My man...?" I was stunned. Just as I was about to ask, Sheng Yun suddenly coughed heavily and gave me a warning look.
"Sister-in-law, I've troubled you for the past few days. Go and rest, I'm fine here." Sheng Yun said to his cousin with a smile.
I can hardly believe my ears! I didn't expect that such a common tone would come from Sheng Yun!
"Really?" What did you just call me cousin? " asked my cousin, smiling as she went out the door.
"Nothing." After my cousin left, Sheng Yun's cold face returned to normal. He pulled out a chair and sat in front of me. He frowned as he asked me, "Can you leave tomorrow? If you can, I'll get the assistant to book a plane ticket. "
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Wasn't calling her sister-in-law just now pretty intimate? You have already treated this place as your home, why are you in such a rush to leave? " The more serious he looked, the more I couldn't resist teasing him.
Sheng Yun rolled his eyes at me: "Cut the crap, how do you feel right now?"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly said: "The medical conditions here are too lagging behind, I'll take you to check your body after we return to Hangcheng."
"There's no need for Director Sheng to worry. If Director Sheng has anything to do, he should go back first. I will take good care of myself." I said lightly.
His expression turned even worse. "Xu Shubei, do you really have to refuse a toast and eat a forfeit?"
"Why are you suddenly so good to me?" I couldn't help but blurt out.
"No reason." He replied coldly.
"I want to know why."
"No reason," he said to me condescendingly, standing up with his hands in his pockets. "Tomorrow, I'll have my assistant book the tickets. "You should rest, I'll be going now."
Then he went out, leaving me gaping in the room, and it was not until my cousin came in that I knew why he had suddenly appeared.
He called me just as I was having a fever. My cousin told him how I was, and when he heard I had a high fever he came straight over and told him he was my boyfriend.
After that, he took care of me here for three days, until I woke up with a fever. It turned out that everything in the dream was real, that he had indeed been taking care of me, that he had been incredibly good to me, that even his cousin had been full of praise for him.
However, aside from accidents in my heart, why would he come here for me? Why is he taking care of me? Why did he treat me so well behind my back and yet be so cold to me on the surface?
