"How could this happen?" Chi Weiyang also noticed the news on TV.
"Is he injured too?" Xia Xingchen murmured, her heart hanging in her throat. The tragic scene in Baiyu Square made her tremble with fear.
"Oh my god, I heard the president was injured, is that true?"
"No way, is it serious?"
"Who knows? I guess the explosion was aimed at the President. I would be heartbroken if the President was injured." Other people in the lounge also saw the news and started talking about it.
Xia Xingchen stared at the TV, wanting to see further reports, but the news was not that fast.
Chi Weiyang looked at the news, then looked at her, and waved his hand in front of her twice, "Hey! Xingchen, are you okay? Your face is pale."
Xia Xingchen shook her head and took Chi Weiyang's hand away, still staring at the TV without blinking.
"Why haven't there been any further reports?" she worried.
"Don't look at it." Chi Weiyang said, "The test is about to start, we have to prepare."
"Weiyang, you go first, I'll wait a little longer." She really wanted to call and ask about the details, but neither he nor Leng Fei called her.
Chi Weiyang looked at her, then at the TV. Then he asked, "Who are you worried about?"
"Bai Ye..." She almost blurted out his name. But halfway through, she realized what she was saying and stopped talking.
Chi Weiyang still heard it clearly and asked, "Mr. President?"
Xia Xingchen was confused and didn't have the energy to hide it from her anymore, so he just nodded.
Chi Weiyang just thought she was just an ordinary citizen concerned about the leader, and said disapprovingly: "Come on, stop worrying about nothing. Is Mr. President something you're worried about? Besides, he has so many bodyguards around him, so nothing will happen to him."
"real?"
"Of course it's true. What could be more important than the assessment right now? Come with me." Chi Weiyang pulled her away.
She was always worried. Although she wasn't watching TV, she kept checking the news on her phone. There were rumors that terrorist militants had dropped a bomb targeting the president.
No news means life or death is uncertain!
Xia Xingchen was terrified until the news confirmed that the President was safe and sound. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and a smile finally appeared on her pale little face.
Chi Weiyang stared at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Xingchen, why do I feel that... you seem to have a special feeling for Mr. President. Why are you so worried about him?"
Xia Xingchen was startled. He put away his phone and asked, "He is our president, don't you care?"
"I do care, but I care, but not like you. You are more than just caring, right? People who understand you know that you are worried about the President, but people who don't understand you think you are worried about your sweetheart!"
Sweetheart
Xia Xingchen was shocked by the three words Chi Weiyang.
Yes, he was injured, why was he so worried? The two of them... To be honest, they were not even friends, even though they had done the most intimate things.
No! It's impossible! She couldn't be so stupid as to regard that man as her lover!
"Don't talk nonsense." Xia Xingchen refuted Chi Weiyang solemnly, as if he was talking to her, but more like he was talking to himself. "To be honest, my lover is Xu Yan, and he has nothing to do with me."
Chi Weiyang stared at her and laughed, "I was just teasing you, why did you take it seriously? The president is so handsome and his performance is so good, who wouldn't be worried if something happened now? If it wasn't for the upcoming assessment, I would be worried to death too."
so…
I was just as worried about him as anyone else. Is this normal? Yes, it must be like this.
After Xia Xingchen thought about it this way, he felt much more at ease.
During the assessment interview, before it was Xia Xingchen's turn, her cell phone rang.
Unknown number.
Without thinking much, she walked aside and answered the phone.
"Hello, Miss Xia."
"Leng Fei?" She recognized the voice instantly. But why would he call her? "Are you okay? I just watched the news. Fortunately, the President..."
"Ms. Xia, the Excellency is seriously injured and we need your help. Please come out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now. The car I sent is waiting at the door."
"What did you say?" Xia Xingchen's heart tightened, "But, the news clearly said..."
"I can't go into too much detail over the phone. But your injury cannot be made public. Please come out as soon as possible."
"Okay, I know, I'll be right out."
Xia Xingchen's mind was filled with Leng Fei's words "Your Excellency is seriously injured". She put away her phone and walked out quickly without even saying hello.
Chi Weiyang was quick to catch her, "Hey! Where are you going? You'll be here soon!"
"I won't take the test anymore! You take it seriously!"
"Are you crazy?" Chi Weiyang stared at her. "How long have you been fighting for this opportunity? Others in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have no way to get in, and now you are at the last minute, and you say you don't want to take the exam?"
"I really have something urgent." Xia Xingchen pulled her hand away, his brows full of worry.
"Is there anything more urgent than your work?"
Xia Xingchen couldn't explain it to her, and she left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a hurry because she couldn't understand it at all. Chi Weiyang stamped his feet in anger, but he could only worry.
She walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a car had stopped in front of her. Xia Xingchen had seen the driver before, and he was Bai Yeqing's confidant, so she got in the car.
The atmosphere in the car was very solemn. Although Xia Xingchen didn't ask, she could guess from the driver's expression that he was probably seriously injured. She thought the car would drive all the way to the Presidential Palace, but after many twists and turns, it arrived at a more remote place.
After passing countless sentry boxes, a small house appeared in her eyes. In such a quiet and remote place, it was particularly eye-catching.
As soon as the car stopped, Leng Fei came out to greet us personally.
Leng Fei's expression was also quite bad. When Xia Xingchen saw it, he understood more clearly.
"How is he?"
"Miss Xia will know when she goes in."
Knowing that Leng Fei was in a heavy mood, Xia Xingchen stopped asking questions and only asked, "I wonder how I can help you."
Leng Fei did not answer but asked: "Ms. Xia can cook, right?"
"certainly."
"There won't be any problem with doing laundry and daily chores, right?"
"Yeah." She didn't understand anything at first, but after Dabai was born, she learned all these naturally.
only…
At times like this, why does Leng Fei keep asking these irrelevant questions
"In that case, we may have to trouble Miss Xia to take care of the President for the next few days. The political situation is turbulent now, and people at home and abroad are watching closely. Therefore, the President's injury must not be known to outsiders. Without a servant, we can only ask you, Miss Xia, for help. I hope you can understand."
