“If you want to go to the men’s hospital, go by yourself, I won’t accompany you.” She said in a thin voice. She didn’t want to go and lose that face! Moreover, how could Xia Feiqing need to go to that kind of hospital?
“Men’s hospital?” Xia Feiqing’s lips twitched slightly, reaching out to poke her in the head, “What were you thinking? Am I as detrimental as that?”
He was actually having a hard time. After all, after divorcing her, he had never touched another woman. Zhao Lanlan thought well, Yu Ningjiao wasn’t a reserved woman, it was just a pity that it had now turned into him being reserved.
“Then why go to the hospital?” Zhao Lanlan frowned slightly, “Are you sick?”
Xia Feiqing raised his eyebrows slightly, “Concerned about me?”
Her little face fell, “You let go. Even if you’re sick, that’s your business, I won’t accompany you to the hospital.”
Her indifference made Xia Feiqing’s heart wring a little heavy. He sighed, “It’s not me who should go to the hospital, it’s you. I see that your face looks bad, and, did you just throw up? It might be from being scared, let’s go, go to the hospital and take a good look.”
He said already reaching out to stop the car and the cab pulled up right in front of him. He said he was about to shove Zhao Lanlan in.
She snapped back to her senses, startled, and her hand wrapped around his in a flash, her other hand already closing the cab door behind her.
“I don’t want to go!”
“Lan Lan!” Xia Feiqing frowned.
“I’m not going! Master, you go first, I’m not going!” She bent down to talk to Master.
“Really! What the hell!” The driver master complained and drove away. Xia Feiqing was a little angry, remembering her fainting needles, and sighed helplessly, “It’s just a checkup at the hospital, it doesn’t necessarily have to be an injection, you don’t have to be so scared. Moreover, even if you really need an injection, there’s still me.”
“Don’t you mind me, I’m fine, I’m just a little sick in the gut. Besides, I’ve already bought medicine, so I’ll be fine after taking it.” At this moment, she really couldn’t relate to his somewhat abnormal concern for herself.
“Really?”
“Really!” She nodded, nodding heavily.
Xia Feiqing couldn’t do anything about her. If she really didn’t want to go, he couldn’t tie her over.
In the end, he compromised.
“Where do you live? I’ll drive you there.”
Zhao Lanlan was still in a state of shock just now before she came back to her senses, and honestly pointed down to an inconspicuous small hotel not far away. Xia Feiqing frowned, “How do you live in a place like that?”
“I changed my hotel, and the company doesn’t reimburse me, so …” The words came out here, she paused and twisted her head to look at him, “How did you know I don’t live in that hotel anymore? No, shouldn’t you be on the plane back right now, why are you still here?”
Xia Feiqing was a bit embarrassed.
If he said that he had run back after security without any luck because he was relieved to see her, wouldn’t he be giving himself a hard time and admitting that he was a fool?
“Today’s ticket is sold out, I have to leave tomorrow.” He lied without even blinking, “As you can see, you gave the guy all the money in my wallet yesterday, and now it’s empty and I don’t even have a place to stay.”
“Yeah, you don’t even have money for a room, but there’s money for a lady.”
She’s not going to sympathize with him!
The corners of his lips twitched, “This is a misunderstanding!”
She walked towards the inn she was staying at and said indifferently, “Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not has nothing to do with me. Don’t worry, I won’t go in front of Yu Ningjiao to chew on her, you don’t have to follow me all the time.”
“Zhao Lanlan, I told you, this is a misunderstanding! If I want a woman, it’s just a matter of hooking my fingers, do I need to go to a prostitute?”
“Then just go ahead and hook your finger now.” Zhao Lanlan didn’t know what fire she was holding in her chest, she just couldn’t talk to him properly. She walked quickly towards the front without waiting for the people behind her. A moment later, not hearing footsteps, she hesitated, but still didn’t turn around. Just biting her lips tightly, she walked forward ruthlessly.
Xia Feiqing looked at the back that was walking farther and farther away, looking stubborn and fragile under the night color. He was somewhat helpless. Sighing, in the end, he still ran up and didn’t say anything, just walked side by side at her side in silence.
It was a long time before he spoke quietly, “I was telling the truth about what I just said. I wouldn’t touch her, certainly not even to think about it.”
“…” She remained silent, burying her head in her hands and walking forward as if she hadn’t heard him.
“I … line, I’ll be honest – I just went back to look for you and realized you were gone, so I felt like a real fool. Running back from the airport, worrying that you’ll be scared alone, and only when I got here did I realize that you actually don’t need me at all!” Zhao Lanlan was slightly stunned and couldn’t speak for a long time, only to hear him continue, “I was a bit depressed, so having someone to talk to and eat with didn’t make me feel so stuffy inside.”
“…” waited until he was quiet, she still couldn’t speak, but a not-so-shallow ripple shook through her heart. The inexplicable fire that had gathered in her chest had disappeared without a trace under his explanation, and was replaced by another complex emotion.
“Why don’t you say anything?” Xia Feiqing didn’t hear her answer, and his mood was a bit low. After glancing sideways at her several times, she kept her head down, and the blurred night color made him unable to understand her emotions at this moment.
Eventually …
She just said softly, “Do you expect me to say anything?”
“…” he suddenly felt snappy, “Never mind, since there’s nothing I want to say, I don’t have to.”
“… Your words, I have no way to believe.” She opened her mouth sullenly, and despite her words, her tone had clearly eased up a lot, “And, I think, with our current relationship … it doesn’t seem too appropriate to talk about these things anymore … ”
Again!
Once again, they’ve left their relationship clean.
The man at his side, silent, unusually silent.
The air around the two people was as if it had condensed, and even their breathing became a bit oppressive. In the end, he was extraordinarily calm and spoke, “Okay, I understand what you mean. Between us, divorced, it’s best to keep such a long distance.”
He compared the distance with both hands at a distance.
Zhao Lanlan was suddenly a little sad. Instead, he nodded and said, “You have a point, we should all be dashing.”
In fact … it is he who is not dashing …
“I’ll send you downstairs to the hotel.” Xia Feiqing finally said, his voice low, sounding inexplicably in the night, making her feel a little sour. She opened her lips, wanting to say something. However, in the end it was mute.
He really only walked her down to the hotel floor, “Go in.”
Zhao Lanlan wordlessly walked inside, and when she was almost inside, she suddenly stopped. Turning back, she saw that Xia Feiqing had already folded his body and walked into the night, his silhouette drawn out by the streetlights on the unfamiliar street.
