Chapter 45 I knew you two were having an affair
Xu Songning slept soundly through the night, waking up naturally. There was still no movement from across the room; Xiang Yun had not returned.
WeChat has also remained silent.
Was he scared by his own words? Or was he hurt by what he said? Shouldn't he have asked for clarification anyway? Why didn't he just stop replying to messages and not go home?
Putting herself in the other person's shoes, Xu Songning thought that if she received such a strange message, she would reply without thinking twice. She would either scold the other person or demand an explanation, and she would eventually find that the other person had deleted her, right?
However, Xiang Yun remained silent, leaving Xu Songning puzzled about his true attitude.
Ms. Xu went on a trip to visit her friends, while Xu Songning continued with her shift for the following week.
Every time she came home, she would glance across the street and see that there was even a thin layer of dust on the doorknob. Xiang Yun hadn't been home for a week.
Even if she was hurt by her own words, it shouldn't be enough to not go home, right? They're just friends right now. As for that sentence... Xu Songning could apologize. She misunderstood, but she deleted everything too cleanly, and it's not easy for her to ask others for Xiang Yun's contact information, which puts Xu Songning in a very passive position.
One week later.
Xu Songning packed her things and prepared to leave work, where Lu Xiaomeng was waiting for her at the airport.
Lu Xiaomeng had just gotten her driver's license, so she naturally got into the passenger seat of her sister Xu's car. "Let's go! Pick up Sister Zhou!"
"Where do you want to eat?" Xu Songning asked her.
"Where to eat is up to the birthday person! But let's exclude Hunan and Sichuan cuisine first, because I can't eat spicy food, and neither can Sister Zhou. Only you can eat spicy food."
“Xiang Yun can eat it too.” Xu Songning blurted out unconsciously.
She only realized something was wrong after she said it.
Sure enough, Lu Xiaomeng looked at her with an expression that said, "I knew you two were having an affair!"
"Sister Xu, did you add him back? If you don't add him back, he really won't talk to you?" Lu Xiaomeng asked.
Xu Songning sighed, placed his hands on the steering wheel, and tapped his fingers impatiently, "Hmm."
"On the bright side, could it be that his phone is broken? That's why he didn't see the message and didn't know you deleted him." Lu Xiaomeng's analysis was simply a form of self-deception.
Xu Songning's temple throbbed with anger. "For a modern person, if their phone breaks, they'll buy a new one in less than half a day. Besides, doesn't he need a phone for work? He hasn't been home all week."
Lu Xiaomeng stroked her chin, looking like Conan deep in thought, "So Sister Xu has been watching him for a week."
"..." Is that the key point?
“I wanted to ask the other captains, but you wouldn’t let me. The main thing is, he’s only been flying to Shanghai for a short time, and Gu Xing is the only breakthrough point. We don’t know if any of the other captains have any of his friends.” Lu Xiaomeng shrugged.
"never mind."
"That's it?"
"I don't believe he won't come home."
"Great perseverance!" Lu Xiaomeng gave a thumbs up.
The car turned and arrived at the entrance of Zhou Qiao's bar.
Zhou Qiao, dressed in a leather jacket and short skirt, leaned against a bench by the roadside. She had a hot figure and her ponytail was tied high.
Lu Xiaomeng rolled down the car window and gave her a long, suggestive whistle, "Wow! My sister Zhou is so hot! Get in the car!"
"You're here so early." Zhou Qiao got into the car and leaned back in the front seat. "Didn't Xiao Meng say there was some gossip? Where's the gossip?"
Lu Xiaomeng rubbed her forehead, her hands moving up and down, looking at Xu Songning with exasperation, "My dear sister, the gossip queen is here."
Zhou Qiao grinned and took out two new flavored lollipops from her bag, tossing them to the two of them. Lu Xiaomeng fawned over Xu Songning, unwrapping the lollipops and holding them to Xu's lips. Xu Songning gently bit one, flicked her tongue, and put the lollipop in her mouth. She gave Lu Xiaomeng a cool glance, and Lu Xiaomeng immediately sat up straight.
"So, it's about Xiang Yun? That's how their captains are; once they're on the plane, they have no idea where anyone is. Just ignore him, take it or leave it, what a jerk. Today, our birthday girl is hosting, let's have some fun!" Zhou Qiao set the mood, and Lu Xiaomeng in the co-pilot got all fired up, squealing and yelling. Xu Songning even turned on the ambient lights and played a song.
Lu Xiaomeng skillfully took out a small microphone and handed one to Zhou Qiao.
"Wait a minute, I need to wear earplugs," Xu Songning joked.
“That’s not up to you,” Zhou Qiao retorted.
"Love until death—it won't be satisfying until it's completely unrestrained!"
The two people in the car were wailing and howling, and Xu Songning couldn't help but wonder if Zhou Qiao had drunk too much before going out. As for Lu Xiaomeng, this child had caught this trait—she became stronger when faced with a strong opponent.
The two singers were completely focused on emotion, with no pitch whatsoever, and their voices were ear-piercingly loud.
"I'll take the microphone apart as soon as I get home," Xu Songning announced.
The two people next to her, who were dancing wildly, completely ignored her and continued to shout at high pitches.
"Qin You must have had a tough time." This thought suddenly popped into Xu Songning's mind. A lead singer with perfect pitch and a bar owner who can sing "Two Tigers" off-key—the combination of the two is quite unique.
"Does Qin You still send you coconuts?" Xu Songning asked.
The carriage fell silent instantly. Lu Xiaomeng pricked up her ears to listen to the gossip, while Zhou Qiao clicked her tongue and said, "Why bring him up?"
"coconut."
“No! He left Hainan.” Zhou Qiao leaned back, crossed her legs, and swayed her body to the rhythm.
"You've arrived in Qingdao, right? Then have him send some seafood over. Come to my house for a meal; my mom cooks really well," Xu Songning teased.
Zhou Qiao crushed the lollipop and snorted, "You have his contact information, why don't you just ask him?"
“If I ask him, he definitely won’t answer me.”
"He still dares not to reply to you?" Zhou Qiao sat up straight and frowned.
“Yes, because when you two were breaking up, he came to me for help, but I didn’t reply to him. He’s the kind of person who holds grudges, so he can’t reply to me when I contact him.” Xu Songning changed a song and gestured to Lu Xiaomeng to put the microphone away.
Lu Xiaomeng gave an "OK" sign. She didn't want to sing if she wanted to hear gossip. She reached for the microphone in Zhou Qiao's hand. Zhou Qiao dodged back and scratched her chin like a cat before handing her the microphone.
"If you're not going to reply to him, why don't you delete him?" Zhou Qiao asked.
Xu Songning thought to herself, "To be honest, you won't like to hear this. On the day we broke up, I got completely drunk. I was planning to delete him from my friends list, but the drunkard stopped me. He pinned my phone down and, with a thick tongue, vowed that I would regret it and that I would see them still living happily together. He also told me to spy on his WeChat Moments and to tell him if I found any clues about my girlfriend."
"He might have a girlfriend but he wouldn't make it public, would he?" Xu Songning teased the stubborn drunkard.
The drunkard, with tears streaming down his face, said, "He always made me public. We were so close, yet... we still failed."
