Chapter 51 Surprise
Pu Xia glanced around and roughly understood the situation. However, she really had no interest in playing games of jealousy and rivalry.
She reached into her pocket and took out a cigarette. Just as she put the cigarette to her lips, someone handed her a lighter.
This suddenly reminded her of Xie Sheng.
He seemed to have had his cigarette lit up like that before.
So she smiled gently, tilted her head, and lit the cigarette in that person's hand. The smoke spilled from her lips, making people blush and their hearts race.
Tong Shuyao silently took a sip of wine, inwardly sighing, wondering how her friend's skills had improved so much.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Pu Xia said to the boy who was staring at her, "Wei Xiwen, take your girlfriend away."
Wei Xiwen stared intently at her, his emotions fluctuating.
This is not the Pu Xia he wanted to see.
She had indeed changed a lot at this moment. The gloom that had been building up in her eyes for years had dissipated, and her guarded nerves had relaxed.
She was wearing a very ordinary style of loose down jacket, with a simple white T-shirt underneath, a complete departure from her previous rebellious and aggressive style.
It's conceivable that these changes might have been caused by someone.
He couldn't help but grip his wine glass tighter and said in a deep voice, "Anyone can come to the party, especially someone I brought."
The girl became even more arrogant after hearing this, "Yeah, who do you think you are!"
Pu Xia originally came out to escape the troublesome people and things at home, but he couldn't escape them even here.
She figured she might as well just wander around outside and call Xie Sheng. With that thought, she stood up from the bar stool, intending to say goodbye to Tong Shuyao and leave.
Wei Xiwen was taken aback; he didn't want Pu Xia to leave.
His body instinctively took a step forward, as if trying to stop the person.
But Tong Shuyao was faster than him. She grabbed Pu Xia's arm and shook it gently, whispering something in her ear.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her decide to stay. When he came to his senses, he realized his girlfriend was glaring at him.
Wei Xiwen didn't know how to explain, so he just kept silent, lowered his eyes, and took a sip of wine.
...
Tong Shuyao gave a casual instruction and then led Pu Xia upstairs.
The two snuggled together on the sofa in the second-floor lounge area, drinking. Tong Shuyao's gossip spirit was burning brightly. "Looks like Wei Xiwen still can't forget you."
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Tsk, how heartless. By the way, why did you two break up? Everyone thought you were a perfect match. Oh, right, you said you have a boyfriend now, what's he like?"
Pu Xia felt a slight stirring in his heart, and a desire to confide in someone arose within him.
She had never talked to anyone about her relationship with Xie Sheng before; it was a relationship that couldn't be brought into the open. But could she bask in the moonlight tonight with some drinks?
Pu Xia raised her wine glass, swirling it in the lamplight. The light and shadow reflected in her eyes like gentle ripples of water. She murmured, "He is Xie Sheng, my love..."
Taking advantage of her slight intoxication, she avoided mentioning that they were siblings and revealed her truest feelings.
When Tong Shuyao heard that Pu Xia planned to stay in the provincial capital, she could hardly believe that Pu Xia would say such a thing.
In her eyes, anyone could fall in love, but Pu Xia was absolutely impossible.
But she was wrong. It turned out that Pu Xia's eyes could also sparkle, but only because someone illuminated the night sky.
-
Pu Xia drank quite a bit, which was unusual for him, but he didn't sleep very soundly.
She woke up around 5 a.m., rubbed her throbbing temples, and saw Xie Sheng's message when she checked the time on her phone.
At 3 o'clock, he sent a message: Are you home yet?
Pu Xia replied: It's still with my friend.
To her surprise, Xie Sheng wasn't asleep. He immediately replied with a screenshot of the location she had sent earlier and asked, "This?"
Pu Xia: Why aren't you asleep yet?
Xie Sheng: I can't sleep without you here.
Pu Xia smiled slightly and tapped her fingers lightly on the screen: Is my brother a child? Does he need someone to accompany him to sleep?
Xie Sheng: Frowning.jpg
Mr. Xie: You wait here, 30 minutes.
After sending this nonsensical message, he stopped replying.
Pu Xia's heart skipped a beat, and a guess came to him.
But she immediately shook her head, dismissing the idea.
That's ridiculous.
Pu Xia got up, went into the bathroom and took a shower. When she came out, Tong Shuyao was still sleeping in bed. She quietly changed her clothes and prepared to go back.
Pushing open the iron gate, the sky was a hazy, yellowish-green, the color of drowsiness before dawn. She exhaled a puff of white breath, tightened her clothes, and prepared to hail a taxi.
The moment she looked up, her heart suddenly tightened.
A familiar, tall figure came into view.
She thought she was dreaming and even bit her cheek. The pain stimulated her nerves, reminding her that she was awake.
What are you doing here, Xie Sheng!
He walked towards her, breaking through the morning chill, bringing with him his unique, clean scent, and embraced her within his own domain.
"Are you stupid?"
"You, what brings you here?"
Pu Xia's brain was not working as fast as his heart was beating.
"Didn't you say you missed me?" Xie Li replied matter-of-factly, waving the bag in his hand. "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
Pu Xia blinked at him, overwhelmed with emotions, leaving her speechless.
At 9:30 PM, she said she missed him;
At 11:00 PM, he boarded the nearest flight;
In 3 hours, he covered a distance of nearly 2,000 kilometers;
At 5:00, he appeared downstairs carrying breakfast.
Actions speak louder than words.
