The rumors of Xie Qingcheng and He Yu at the Wei family's wedding banquet still spread.
This person did not dare to say it on the surface, but he was talking lively behind his back.
The secret finally reached Xie Xue's ears. After she experienced the initial shock and anger, she fell into deep anxiety.
She didn't think this incident was just a simple poisoning. After all, He Yu and her brother didn't react like they had just experienced an accident. For Xie Qingcheng's sister, after she calmed down, the most concerned thing was her brother. Current emotional state.
Because others were hiding it from her before, she didn't know that Xie Qingcheng had encountered such a thing. Looking back at this moment, she understood why Xie Qingcheng was unhappy during this period, and seemed more taciturn than before.
She wanted to ask Xie Qingcheng about the specific situation, but she didn't dare to ask, so she had to take Wei Dongheng to vent her anger: "I said at the time that the people I met in the hotel were He Yu and my brother, but you said no... Otherwise, otherwise I would have…”
Halfway through, he bit his lip and couldn't continue.
She also knew that even if she was convinced that it was He Yu and Xie Qingcheng, she didn't have the courage to catch up and ask more.
Now she felt uncomfortable all over, and the more she thought about it, the more clues began to emerge in her mind.
—She had seen He Yu and her brother pull out of an empty classroom with her own eyes.
During the Spring Festival, when she came home, she saw He Yu and her brother standing in a room with no lights on, with broken vases on the ground.
When she saw the taxi pick up the passenger, He Yu suddenly hugged Xie Qingcheng's waist...
In the hot summer, Xie Xue wanted to have cold hands and feet.
Did they get together so early
Xie Xue, who was tortured by anxiety to the point of being unable to sleep for several nights, finally made up her mind to ask her brother.
It was summer vacation now, and Xie Qingcheng didn't live in the campus staff dormitory, but rested at home.
She hesitantly carried a bunch of fruit supplements and appeared at the door of her house in Moyu Lane, tiptoed to look at the window, and found that Xie Qingcheng was not at home at the moment.
"Xiaoxue?"
Xie Xue turned her head and saw that Li Miaoqing just came out of the next room, and hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, where is my brother?"
"I don't know, I have something to go out." Li Miaoqing put the clothes to be dried and the plastic basin on the stone bench next to her, and wiped her wet hands on the apron. She looked at Xie Xue's face with concern. Said, "Come, Xiaoxue, come here."
She took Xie Xue's hand and asked, "Why are you so haggard? There are dark circles under your eyes? Did something happen?"
Xie Xue endured it for too long, and when she heard her question, she first cried without thinking, "Aunt Li, me, my brother, he recently—"
Halfway through the words, he responded again.
Although Aunt Li also came on the wedding day, she was always by her side to help. The affair between Xie Qingcheng and He Yu belonged to the secrets of the wealthy family. At present, it is only spread among the people, and Aunt Li may not know about it.
Xie Xue stopped, and the words stuck in his throat.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Li listened to the first half of the sentence, combined with Xie Xue's current state of expression, she asked in a trembling voice: "You... also know? He Yu's matter... "
Xie Xue's eyes widened, the two women looked at each other for a long time, neither of them made the rest of the words clear, but they both saw the answer in each other's eyes.
Xie Xue suddenly threw herself into Aunt Li's arms and finally burst into tears.
"… "
"...that's how it is."
After Li Miaoqing finished telling Xie Xue how she discovered the secret between He Yu and Xie Qingcheng, Xie Xue was still wiping her tears, but she was more angry than the sadness and "confusion" when she came.
After all, what Li Miaoqing had seen and heard before had convinced her that He Yu was a scumbag, and that Xie Qingcheng was "chaotic" and finally abandoned. In the end, he felt a pity to abandon it. Depressed, depressed and reticent.
She told Xie Xue about this, and Xie Xue made up her mind again, and it was even more absolutely—
That is He Yupua's brother, who slapped a candy to eat, seduced people and hurt them severely. After the injury, they coaxed them sweetly, and as a result, such a thing happened in Xuan Pavilion. He Dazi felt ashamed now, so he simply dumped Xie Qing, her brother had to digest the pain of not only being deceived and abandoned by children, but also facing the damage to his reputation.
Xie Xue gritted her teeth in anger: "That beast... He even dares to play with my brother? No... I can't stand it... I'll go find him!"
Aunt Li was rational and hurriedly said, "Don't let your brother find out! He's a good face. If he knew that we both knew about him, he would feel even more uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, I'm only looking for He Yu, but I want to ask him, how the hell did he get lard...!"
Xie Xuejin said lightly, he was He Yu's teacher.
Seriously, she is the wife of Wei Jiazi, and she doesn't care much about her status. Wei Dongheng has never talked about such a family's family, but when she goes out and enters the store, everyone To call her Wei Tai.
She wants to find He Yu, no matter where she is from, she can stand on the stage.
So she didn't expect that He Yu would not answer her phone.
She called seventeen or eight, and He Yu finally turned off the phone.
"Fuck you! Scumbag!" Xie Xuenu dropped his phone, stopped a taxi and reported the address of He Zhai, and rented her away.
Arriving outside He's house, he was greeted by the panic-stricken butler.
The housekeeper didn't pay much attention to this little girl Xie before, but now Mrs. Wei is very respectful.
"I want to see He Yu." Xie Xue said with a burst of anger, "Please tell him and let me go."
The butler did not dare to neglect, and immediately turned back.
But after a while, he came back tremblingly, his face full of unease, as if there was something to hide.
"Mrs. Wei." The housekeeper said nervously, "Young He... um, he is in a ill health. There is really no way to receive you today. Do you think it's better to do it another day?"
No matter how angry Xie Xue is, there is no reason to break into the house without permission.
She stared angrily at the brightly lit main building in the distance. After a while, she found that there were several medical staff walking back and forth in the main building.
One of them seems to be...
She was stunned for a moment, "rubbed" and "rubbed" her eyes, and the familiar figure disappeared around the corner.
- That person wouldn't be a doctor... She guessed that she was seeing flowers.
Xie Xue asked the housekeeper angrily, "Why did he suddenly get sick?"
The housekeeper only smiled shyly, with a helpless look on his face that was inconvenient to talk about.
Xie Xue is not the kind of "sex" who would bully servants once they are successful. Seeing that the housekeeper is really embarrassed, he no longer asks, but turns his eyes to the main building again. This time, she saw the boy standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
"He Yu-"
He Yu was talking to a nurse, because of the distance, Xie Xue couldn't see the expression on his face, but seeing his arms folded in a defensive posture, the nurse kept his head down, as if talking to him. He apologized. He finally turned his face away from the nurse and saw Xie Xue's figure at the gate of the villa from a distance.
Almost still.
He Yu suddenly raised his hand and closed the curtain.
Xie Xuen stomped his feet in anger, but had no choice but to leave in the end. The more she thought about it along the way, the more sad she became. She really didn't know how her brother, who was so innocent, could be deceived by this little beast like He Yu.
... Her brother He Yu has never been bad. After so many years, he cared about him and took care of him. In Xie Xue's opinion, that level of concern has far exceeded the concern of Xie Qingcheng's ordinary patients.
And He Yu clearly knew that Xie Qingcheng had an unfortunate marriage and lived lonely and cold for many years, but he still wanted to hook him up and destroy him, doing something even worse than Li Rouqiu's derailment.
What does her brother owe him
How could he get away with it
Xie Xue wanted to go back to Moyu Lane to be by Xie Qingcheng's side, talk everything away, and comfort him. But she also knew that Li Miaoqing's handling method was correct. Xie Qingcheng was not the kind of person who had a strong desire to talk. He was used to enduring and digesting things quietly one by one.
He didn't want anyone touching his scars, even to treat him.
Thinking of this, Xie Xue took out a tissue from her small bag, wiped the tears from her eyelashes, and was about to put the rest of the tissue back when her phone suddenly rang.
"Hey... brother?" Xie Qingcheng called, Xie Xue tried to maintain the calmness in her voice so as not to let him notice anything strange.
"Have you been to Moyu Lane this afternoon?"
"Yes, yes. How do you know?"
"...You left the fruit at the door."
Xie Xue patted her head silently—she's a pig brain!
"Where are you now?" Xie Qingcheng's voice was as cold as cold water, and he couldn't hear any waves.
Xie Xue said: "I... Seeing that you weren't there, I went to the nearby shopping mall to go shopping... "
Xie Qing said: "Buy less unnecessary things."
After a pause, he said, "Are you coming back for dinner? Or go home?"
"Back-" Xie Xue choked.
Before he asked her if she would go home, he was referring to the small house in Moyuxiang that belonged to their brother and sister.
Now, when he asked if he would go home, he was referring to her and Wei Dongheng's new residence. She became home, and he was the only one left in the hut in Moyu Lane.
Xie Xue clenched the tissue tightly, and the reflection of her tears was blurred in the taxi window.
"Hello?" Xie Qingcheng's voice was still calm and magnetic, with a thin layer of confusion, "Why don't you speak."
Xie Xue held back her throat even more, until her throat became sore and astringent.
She said, "… No, the signal was not good just now."
He added: "I'm back. Brother, I'm going back to our house for dinner."
"Oh... When will it arrive?" Xie Qingcheng's voice was still quiet, but the quietness that perfectly concealed all emotions, but at this moment Xie Xuejui felt a pain in his heart.
"Another half an hour." Xie Xue said softly.
"Okay."
Before Xie Qingcheng hung up, she called him again: "Brother."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
With tears on her face, Xie Xue smiled ugly: "I... I want to eat the Yangzhou fried rice you made. You don't need to prepare much, just fry a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice for me, okay?"
Xie Qingcheng brought Xie Xue from childhood to adulthood, and knew very well how to take care of people.
When Xie Xue returned home and pushed the door open, he just finished the Yangzhou fried rice with peas and put it on the small table. In addition, the soup in the electric stew was ready. When he saw Xie Xuelai, he nodded as a greeting, and then turned back to serve her soup.
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, a fragrant aroma came out of the soup pot.
Xie Xue didn't even need to look at it, she knew that it was tomato and beef brisket soup. When she grew up, Xie Qing didn't pay a lot of money, but he would cook her beef brisket soup twice a week, using what he could buy. The best beef he got, and then he would give all the beef to Xie Xue, and he would only drink a little tomato soup and eat a few potato cubes in the soup.
Xie Xue looked at his still tall but thin figure, and felt sad in her heart, walked behind him two steps at a time, and stretched out her arms to hug him.
Xie Qingcheng was slightly surprised, put down the spoon and looked back at her: "What's wrong? Someone bullied you?"
Xie Xue shook her head in his arms and said softly, "I want to hug you."
"… "
Xie Qingcheng had a faint smell of tobacco, disinfectant water, and even a slightly bitter "medicine" smell on his body. It wasn't a very pleasant smell. It was too cold, but Xie Xue felt at ease when he smelled it.
When the bride-to-be returns home, there will be such a nostalgic behavior.
Xie Qingcheng didn't think much about it, he sighed, coughed lightly, let Xie Xue hug him for a while, and said, "Relax, it's cold."
The siblings sat down at the table.
Xie Qingcheng did have a mind, and Xie Xuejin was pregnant, so he couldn't smoke in front of her at all, and the feeling of decadence and delusion was even more distinct.
But he is still handsome and beautiful, his shirt collar is not buttoned as tightly as usual, but a button is loosened, you can see >
He didn't look at Xie Xue much when he was eating. He was so worried that he would tap on the table with his fingers unconsciously.
Xie Xue whispered: "Brother, you should eat more too."
She put several pieces of beef in the soup into Xie Qingcheng's bowl.
"You're all thin."
Xie Qingcheng originally wanted her to take the meat back, but suddenly realized that Xie Xue was no longer the little girl who was eagerly looking forward to eating such good meat every week, so she put down the chopsticks that were about to move.
He closed his eyes and finally set his eyes on Xie Xue's face, ready to chat with his sister about her family affairs after she got married.
However, at this moment, Xie Qingcheng was stunned, and his hands and feet were suddenly cold—
On Xie Xue's earlobe was a brand new earring.
A bone-shaped cross of pure gold "color", with a ring inlaid with diamonds, "colored" blood, surrounded by letters: rip
—
Before their parents died, they finally went to see a mysterious person in the Yanzhou clubhouse... This is the earring left by the mysterious person!
Exactly the same! !
Xie Qingcheng stood up suddenly: "Xie Xue, where did you get these earrings?"
You know, in the year when Xie's parents died, Xie Qingcheng went to Yanzhou alone to investigate. Fortunately, a waiter in the clubhouse at that time gave him a photo of a rip cross earring, saying that his parents were there. After meeting the mysterious man in the clubhouse, he cleaned the box and found this earring.
At that time, the mobile phones everyone used were generally Nokia, and MMS was used to receive pictures, and the download speed was slow.
To this day, he still clearly remembers how the photo slowly opened little by little, presenting the face of this mysterious earring in front of him.
The waiter made an appointment with him to meet at the hot pot restaurant. Originally, he wanted to give the pendant to him. Who would have thought that the hot pot restaurant caught fire, the waiter died, Xie Qingcheng himself was also hit by the car, and the Nokia mobile phone with the photo was taken. go.
In the nineteen years after that, he had only seen that weird golden cross in his dreams.
The rip on the earring was like some kind of deep irony, mocking him in a nightmare—
Rest in peace, Xie Qingcheng, don't investigate any further.
You mayfly, as long as the mastermind is willing, death will be close to you.
But now this earring came out of his dream. At a moment he completely unexpected, it appeared in front of him, swaying on the earlobe of his newlywed sister.
Xie Qingcheng's bones and blood were cold. He looked at her and repeated in a trembling voice, "Where did you get it?"
Xie Xue was startled, and "touched" his own ears: "This? This is what my mother-in-law gave me."
