The security guard in the street pavilion in the community watched Xia Qiu for a long time, probably recognized her, and then raised the bar to let her go.
The backlight in the aisle was a shadow, and a short-haired girl was leaning against the wall, as if she was bored waiting for someone.
When Xia Qiu stepped into the shadow, there was the sound of a car leaving behind him, and a cold but appreciative voice also sounded from the shadow.
"Good acting."
Xia Hailing turned his head to look at Xia Qiu, the shadow blurred her face, but his eyes fell on Xia Qiu, and the words were obviously meant for her.
"Let's go back, Hai Ling. I'm tired."
The vigilance that was raised when he heard the voice suddenly relaxed, Xia Qiu took off the shoes with broken heels on his feet, and walked forward barefoot with the shoes in hand.
But Weiliang's hand immediately grabbed her wrist, Xia Hailing bent down and took off his shoes, and put them neatly in front of Xia Qiu.
"Wear this and let's go."
The natural tone was like when the original owner of the Xia family's parents died and his eyes were swollen from crying, he knelt in front of the mourning hall, Xia Hailing walked over peacefully when he was so at a loss.
"Cousin, take care of your body and leave the rest to me."
Obviously she is also a girl with little power, but the original owner looked at those calm and peaceful eyes, and for some reason, she believed it.
As a result, those moths in Xia's enterprise who took the opportunity to make trouble were sorted out clearly and cleanly by this seemingly powerless person in less than a week.
Also from that day on, the original owner was at ease to be his own Mrs. Jiang, the executive director of the Xia family, and became the title that Xia Hai carried on his shoulders.
Standing in the shadows, Xia Qiu hesitated for a moment, but put on those high-top canvas shoes.
Put your feet in warm shoes, and your tired body seems to be relieved immediately.
Standing aside, Xia Hailing took the pair of high-heeled shoes from Xia Qiu's hands naturally and indifferently, walked to the trash can and threw the shoes into it.
"Since it's broken, we'll buy a good one in the future."
She said meaningfully.
Even if it was summer, standing barefoot on the hot concrete floor would probably be uncomfortable, but Xia Hailing's tone and expression were still so flat.
The two walked forward slowly.
"Have you been waiting here for a long time?" Xia Qiu couldn't help but turned her head and asked.
"It hasn't been long, I just heard the news and thought you would come." Xia Hailing replied lightly.
The spherical incandescent lamps in the community were brighter than the street lamps, reflecting Xia Qiu's somewhat complicated expression at that time.
Did she plan to wait overnight? Perhaps the answer is self-evident.
Only then did Xia Qiu look carefully at Xia Hailing, the girl who was still thin had cut her hair short at some point.
That satin-black shiny hair in memory, which was also the girl's only brilliant long hair, disappeared long ago.
At this moment, the short hair was blowing in the breeze, and the soft hair was strangely soft like a small animal under the lamp.
A smile entered Xia Qiu's eyes lightly. Then she couldn't help rubbing, messing up the short hair happily, and said with a smile.
"Hai Ling, thank you for your hard work."
The usually indifferent and peaceful person froze in place, staring blankly at Xia Qiu, as if he didn't know how to react.
The smile on his lips deepened, Xia Qiu took the place of the original owner, and gently hugged the thin Xia Hailing.
"I owe you this."
Hugged by the warmth, Xia Hailing, who was at a loss and confused, suddenly woke up following Xia Qiu's words, but he was a little dazed and had a sore nose and gently hugged Xia Qiu back.
.
When the original owner was young, he had saved Xia Hailing with his blood.
At that time, the young Xia Hailing curled up in the corner of the wall, letting her relatives scold and slam the belt on her body. Her thin body obviously trembled with the belt because of the pain, but she was so stubborn that she didn't make a sound.
At that time, the original owner saved her.
But such enthusiasm seemed to satisfy her own sense of justice, and the next-in-law assured her in every possible way at the time, but not long after going back, news of the next-in-law's domestic violence again spread to her ears.
But at that time, she had long forgotten who Xia Hailing was, so she naturally did nothing.
Therefore, this kind of rescue is not a kindness at all.
But as stubborn as Xia Hailing, he always remembers it.
