That evening.
Shen Yi developed a high fever.
The Shen family villa was brightly lit late at night. The family doctor was called in to give him injections and medicine, but he still refused to cooperate.
Shen Yi was so feverish that he was unconscious. His eyes were tightly shut, tears kept flowing out, and he kept murmuring: "Mo Mo! Mo Mo!"
Mother Shen's face was filled with fatigue and haggardness, but her eyes were fixed on her son's flushed face.
Her tears flowed uncontrollably, first silently, and then burst into suppressed sobs. Seeing her son like this, she was filled with regret.
Throughout the night, Shen Yi had a high fever several times. At dawn, Shen Lan asked Shen's mother and father to go to bed first, and she stayed here to take care of him.
Shen Yi woke up at seven in the morning. Shen Lan asked him if he wanted to drink water, but Shen Yi did not answer.
His eyes were dull, and after a long while he spoke in a hoarse voice, "I dreamt about our breakup again last night! She cried and told me that Zhao Zhizhi was just her friend, and I was jealous. I said I didn't believe her, but in my heart I still said I would give Momo a chance."
"When she came to see me again, I was so happy that it was like setting off fireworks, but she asked me to borrow money right away. She said something happened at home and if she didn't have the money, her mother would marry her off to someone else."
"I never thought that it was my mom who was behind it. I told her to get out! I actually told Momo to get out..."
At this point, Shen Yi's voice choked up again. He raised his arms and placed them over his eyes, not wanting anyone to see his worthless tears at this moment.
"She must hate me for treating her like that when she needed me the most."
Shen Lan took a deep breath and comforted him, "Ayi, whether you believe it or not, Mom really regretted it later! She didn't expect that the girl's family was in such a situation, and she could force her daughter to marry because of money."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi suddenly sat up from the bed and said with hatred in his eyes: "If she regrets it, why didn't she help Momo?"
Shen Lan sighed, "You were dying at the time, so how could she have the time to care about others? I only found out about it later, but it was too late by then. Everything was resolved, so I didn't bother her anymore."
Shen Yi snorted: "What you say is better than what you sing."
After he finished speaking, he threw back the quilt and got out of bed. Shen Lan hurriedly stopped him: "You're not well yet, where are you going?"
Shen Yi went to the cloakroom to change his clothes and came out: "I want to break off the engagement and pursue Momo! If any of you dare to stop me, I don't mind you removing my name from the family tree."
Shen Lan was shocked and said: "Shen Yi!"
Shen Yi ignored the shouting from behind and drove all the way back to Hangzhou.
…
As soon as Shen Yi arrived in Hangzhou, he had a high fever again.
He forced himself to go to the hospital and get an IV drip, then went straight home to rest. He knew very well that if he wanted to win Momo back, the most urgent thing was to get his body back in shape, and he was also afraid that he would accidentally infect Momo with the disease.
After resting at home for two days, I finally felt a little more energetic. I took a shower and went to the cloakroom to tidy up.
Momo used to like him wearing a white shirt and black trousers, especially when he rolled up the sleeves of the white shirt. Today he wore this outfit to meet her.
After packing up, Shen Yi drove to the cake shop where she worked part-time. He parked the car on the side of the road and looked out of the window.
The street scene is already filled with the Christmas atmosphere. From a distance, the cake shop where Momo works part-time is decorated with colorful mood lights along the glass exterior walls.
The Christmas tree at the entrance of the store is also hung with gold and silver ornaments, and next to it is a sign advertising the store's Christmas activities.
Shen Yi looked through the small area of transparent glass to catch the figure he wanted to see.
I was stuck in the car for a long time, my palms were full of sweat, and the steering wheel was wet. It was not until I saw Momo's colleagues changed their clothes and came out that I suddenly realized that it was time to get off work!
He pushed the door open and got out of the car, then hesitated outside the store for a long time before he mustered up the courage to open the door and go in.
All the colleagues had left work first, and today it was Qin Momo who was in charge of closing the store. After she had made preparations and was about to turn off the lights, she heard the sound of the "Welcome" greeter at the door.
Qin Momo turned her head and looked at the door. She was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she shouted "Welcome!" out of professional habit.
Shen Yi stood there somewhat awkwardly, neither moving nor speaking.
Qin Momo looked at him with some confusion, then glanced behind him. There was no one there. Did he come here alone today?
She smiled professionally: "Mr. Shen, what would you like to buy?"
Shen Yi quickly responded and coughed awkwardly: "Are you going to get off work?"
Qin Momo walked out from behind the cashier counter: "It's almost done! It's okay. It doesn't take too long."
"Okay, then I'll choose one." Shen Yi didn't know what to say, he just replied mechanically. He didn't even dare to look at her now.
"However, we don't have the little cake your girlfriend likes in our store today! If you want to buy it, you have to come early. We make and sell it fresh on the same day."
Shen Yi only heard her pleasant voice and didn't hear the word "girlfriend" she said at all.
"Do you have any recommendations?"
Qin Momo usually doesn't "rip off the familiar", but when she thinks about the Christmas tasks that her boss has assigned to them, why not sell him some cookies? After all, he has money, and his girlfriend will definitely like them.
"We have this kind of Christmas cookie, with a new flavor, which is delicious. Most women like to eat it, and they can also be eaten during the period of body management. We use xylitol to replace the sweetness."
Shen Yi nodded: "Then let's have a little bit of each style and each flavor!"
"Okay! I'll install it for you. Do you want anything else?"
When Qin Momo heard that she wanted every style and every flavor, she immediately became excited and her eyes became bright!
If he buys more, he'll get a higher commission! He might even get a bonus.
Shen Yi looked at her obviously happy expression, and then thought of the billboard outside, and immediately understood the reason.
"I suddenly remembered that we haven't purchased the company's Christmas gifts yet. I think these cookies are great. What do you think?"
When Qin Momo heard him say that suddenly, she thought he said he didn't want it anymore, but she didn't expect he wanted more.
"Of course, this design is also very beautiful. When your employees take it home, it will be a good choice whether it is for their spouse or children."
"Okay, I'll take all of these in the store!"
Qin Momo: “…”
Finally, Qin Momo packed more than a dozen large bags of cookies, which were prepared in advance for Christmas. Unexpectedly, she sold them all in just one night!
When paying the bill, Shen Yi rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, but Qin Momo never even glanced at him from beginning to end.
No, not even a single eye.
She stood at the cash register, her head lowered, tapping away at the calculator.
I feel a little depressed!
After the bill was settled, Qin Momo said, "Mr. Shen, let me help you get it to your car! Where did you park it?"
Shen Yi pointed outside the store and said, "It's right on the roadside. You better close the store first!"
"good."
Qin Momo closed the shop, and the two of them put more than ten bags of biscuits into the car.
"Okay! Mr. Shen, please drive slowly and be careful on the road."
"Let me take you home! It's too late! I guess there are no cars left!"
Qin Momo checked her phone. Because she was delayed packing biscuits, the last bus had indeed left!
But she also didn't want to trouble Shen Yi and ask him to drive her home. After all, she was her ex-boyfriend. He already had a fiancée, so she should not do things that could easily lead to misunderstandings!
“No thanks! We have shared bikes.”
Shen Yi frowned: "It's not safe for you, a girl, to be out this late."
Qin Momo laughed at herself and said, "It's okay. Who would be so blind as to rob a fat guy like me?"
Shen Yi: “…”
Qin Momo regretted it right after she finished speaking! She said it as if she was complaining about the last time he said she was fat.
