Chapter 37: Heartbeat Thirty-Seven Possessiveness
He is here!
In the dim light, Wen Huai suddenly raised his eyes and met those deep eyes in silence.
At this moment, she could no longer hear the emcee's voice or the loud background music. All the sounds faded away, her breathing slowed, and she could only see Xu Youjing.
"Excuse me, you." Lu Yin saw someone and walked over, hunched over. "There's an empty seat over there, sir. Please go sit over there."
Xu Youjing turned his head to the side, his impatient eyes still sharp, and he sat down.
At this time, the emcee was cueing the process, and the wedding video of the bride and groom was playing on the screen. The venue was quiet.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Yin thought he didn't hear him. He leaned over and just said a word, then he heard the man's cold and unyielding words, like a thunderclap in the sky, which charred him on the spot.
Xu Youjing: "Get lost."
Lu Yin couldn't believe his ears. "No, why are you swearing?"
Some people around noticed this and advised him to sit down and not make trouble.
After being persuaded, Lu Yin returned to his seat and wanted to see Wen Huai but was blocked by the man.
grass!
He finally wanted to add WeChat, who is this person? Where did he come from?
On this side, Xu Youjing, who didn't care at all, looked up and met the eyes of Wen Huai who was peeking at him.
Wen Huai was caught and felt uneasy. He opened his eyes but felt that he was hiding something, so he looked over again.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Why are you back? Didn't you say you were going to attend the pre-conference meeting?"
The wedding video was too loud, and Wen Huai lowered his voice, but he couldn't hear clearly at their current distance.
So Xu Youjing leaned over and whispered in her ear, "What?"
The suddenly shortened distance made Wen Huai's breath stagnant. She pursed her lips and sniffed the familiar fragrance on him, "Why are you here?"
He pulled away, his eyes swept over the half-empty glass of juice in front of her, and curled his lips.
Wen Huai thought he had spoken and he hadn't heard him, so he moved closer and asked, "What?"
The person who took the initiative turned around, and she got so close to him.
So close that her hair caught on his brooch.
So close that he could smell her pleasant scent and the faint aroma of traditional Chinese medicine.
It was so close that he looked at the slightly open lips so close to him and felt an incredible impulse.
Xu Youjing lowered his eyes and caught a glimpse of a pair of eyes looking at him. He found it annoying, so he reached out and smoothed the restless hair.
"I was worried that you might drink, so I came here."
Wen Huai was stunned by his sudden action. Before she could pull back, the hand in her hair grabbed her wrist.
The bony and slightly hot fingertips paused for a moment when they touched the slightly cool skin, but soon, Xu Youjing's whole hand wrapped around her.
The slender figure in his palm made him look at her. He wondered if she had eaten or not, and why she was so thin.
"Very obedient."
In the palm of his hand, he could feel her strong pulse, beating violently. "I really didn't drink it."
Wen Huai lowered his eyes to their clasped hands.
The air conditioner was very strong today, and she sneezed a few times before her nose cleared.
She didn't know if it was because she had been drinking Chinese medicine for a few days, but she felt that her rhinitis had improved and was not as uncontrollable as before.
But rhinitis can be treated with these, but Wen Huai Leng really has no way to treat it.
Before coming, she checked the temperature. Today was the hottest day in recent times, so she wore a one-shoulder top and jeans when she went out in the morning.
My lower body is fine, but my upper body is so cold that I feel like I want to break my arms.
At this moment, Xu Youjing's palm was very hot. Wen Huai, who was holding half of his forearm, was extremely greedy for this warmth, which caused him to finally feel a little uncomfortable and wanted to extend his other hand as well.
But she didn't.
As if to change the subject, she complained, "Why do you make me sound like an alcoholic?"
He chuckled, then asked, "Are you cold?"
She shook her head.
"You're kidding me." Xu Youjing exposed her mercilessly, "It's so cold, it's not cold at all."
Seeing that he seemed to be about to take off his clothes, Wen Huai grabbed his wrist in a hurry.
The coldness touched the warmth, and she was greedy but did not dare to look at Xu Youjing. She quickly withdrew her hand, "My hands have always been cold to the touch, but I don't feel that cold. On the contrary, sometimes when my hands are hot, I feel cold."
Xu Youjing raised his eyebrows, obviously defeated by this logic.
He took a step back: "Then tell me if you feel cold, I'll ask Jiang Han to get you some clothes."
Wen Huai was stunned.
It turned out that he didn't want to take off his clothes to give them to her, but wanted to use the phone in his pocket to send a message to Jiang Han... She misunderstood.
While being angry, Wen Huai could not change his words, otherwise Xu Youjing would definitely remember his rejection.
By then, she would really have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The hands on the knees clenched into fists, and then were enveloped by warmth and softness.
She looked up and saw his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand.
It was the hand where she had the IV drip.
The bulge under his fingertip was very abrupt. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Swelling?"
"A little." Wen Huai withdrew his hand and straightened up. "It will disappear in a few days."
The film was drawing to a close, and the lights in the venue were starting to light up. Xu Youjing quickly glanced at the man and asked, "Do you know him?"
Wen Huai shook his head: "It's Dongyang's project leader. He knows I work at Peak and wants to add WeChat."
It seemed to him that Wen Huai thought he was a sensitive identity, so he added: "The relationship between Dongyang and Dianfeng is tense now. I know it, but I didn't give it to you."
That cold face suddenly showed a faint smile, which confused Wen Huai's thoughts.
Before she could regain her composure, she heard a snap and the lights in the hall came back on. She also heard that familiar voice.
"No matter who it is, don't give it to me."
She was lost in thought, and he raised his eyebrows to remind her, and she nodded slowly.
"Welcome everyone to our wedding..."
The emcee began to speak, and the two of them looked towards the stage along with everyone else.
Wen Huai's seat was closer to the front, and she didn't notice Xu Youjing, who was a little behind her. After she turned around, the smile on his lips deepened.
...
After the ceremony, it was naturally time for the dinner.
Everyone present was a classmate, so they started chatting about food, and the topic naturally revolved around things that happened during high school.
As the only one at their table who was two years younger than them, Wen Huai naturally couldn't understand many of the interesting things they recalled, so she became the one who worked hard at eating.
Most of the people at the table were familiar with Xu Youjing, so they were surprised to see him. Someone had asked the four of them before whether they would come, and they were a little disappointed when they learned that they would not come.
The so-called four are Xu Youjing, Gu Kuangchi, Qiao Mian and Xie Songbai who went abroad in his second year of high school.
The four of them had been friends since childhood, practically in the same class since kindergarten. Many of the students who went straight from the affiliated middle school to high school knew them. Later, when high school classes were divided based on academic performance, the four of them were still in the same class, so their classmates got used to seeing them together.
Unexpectedly, although the four of them were not coming, only Xu Youjing showed up here.
That's why he showed up...
One person asked in surprise, "Xu Youjing, you don't like Tian Xitong, do you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, a ghostly silence instantly spread.
Xu Youjing laughed and scolded: "Get lost."
The man didn't seem upset at being scolded. He smiled and said, "Why else would you suddenly show up? We asked Lao Gu, and he went to pick up Xie Songbai at the airport when he returned today. We thought you were all there."
"What are you talking about?" Tian Xitong came over with her husband to toast, and stood right between Wen Huai and Xu Youjing's seats.
"Oh! Congratulations!"
"Happy wedding!"
When everyone saw today's protagonist coming, they immediately gave their blessings and did not forget to respond.
"We are interrogating Xu Youjing, asking him if he came to the wedding today because he wanted to meet someone important."
Xu Youjing's smile remained unchanged. "Can't I just come here to give you some money?"
After hearing this, several people began to feel unhappy. Tian Xitong, who was about to make a joke, decided to stand on Xu Youjing's side after hearing about the contribution money.
After all, who can refuse a red envelope that is thicker than a mobile phone?
"You guys are too nosy. Isn't it because they are able to come here that they have a close relationship with this person in our family?"
She started to smooth things over and quickly changed the subject.
Before leaving, she asked Wen Huai, "How are we going to get home after this? If you want to take a taxi, I'll take you home. It's not nice to ask a girl like you to go alone."
Before she could speak, someone volunteered, "Let me do it. I'll take Miss Wen back."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table looked at Lu Yin, surprised that the relationship between the two was actually unusual. He had just pretended not to know each other and wanted to add each other on WeChat.
Wen Huai quickly refused, but before he could finish his words, someone interrupted him.
"She's married, so it's her husband who should take her." Xu Youjing turned his cold and sharp eyes towards him, unable to hide his hostility. "What do you want to do with it?"
"you--"
Just as Lu Yin was about to settle the matter of the seat change, someone asked, "Junior Sister got married? When did it happen? But Yu Jing, how did you know? Are you two in touch?"
Xu Youjing said no more, but just looked at the people around him, as if wanting an explanation.
Wen Huai felt aggrieved by this look, and coughed before admitting, "Yes, I am married, but I haven't had the wedding yet. When the time comes, I will definitely invite all the seniors."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
“…”
Wen Huai was drinking juice with them. During the time, he glanced at Xu Youjing who was looking at him, and his limbs stiffened instantly.
But still relying on that little bit of mental strength, he pretended to be natural and clinked the cup she handed him with his, talking and laughing.
...
Finally, the dinner was over. Wen Huai went to the bathroom first, and Xu Youjing waited for her outside.
Seeing her coming out holding her belly, her smile was completely gone.
"Stomachache?"
Wen Huai shook his head, "I just caught a cold."
The next moment, his shoulders slumped and he put his coat on her.
Wen Huai smelled the clearer fragrance and suddenly felt like she was back at the bottom of the Peak Building when he rescued her.
But that was their first meeting after marriage, and he was simply helping her, with no other feelings towards her.
Now, it should be somewhat different, right?
She was being held in his arms and took the initiative to speak, "You were hit on once, and I was hit on once, so let's call it even."
Xu Youjing looked over, but the vibration from his phone made him stop talking. He withdrew his hand from behind Wen Huai and was about to type when a pair of high heels appeared in front of him, blocking their way.
To be more precise, it means blocking Xu Youjing's way.
Wen Huai bit his tongue secretly, thinking that he had underestimated Xu Youjing's face.
The woman smiled brightly, "Sorry to bother you. I'm a college classmate of the bride. I'd like to get to know you. Are you from the groom's side? Is there any chance—"
Wen Huai had already taken a step back with his right foot, but before his left foot could catch up, someone pulled his wrist and his soft chest hit him.
Both of them were stunned, but Xu Youjing was very calm. The hand that was holding Wen Huai's wrist moved down and slipped into her palm, inserting and squeezing his five fingers in, interlocking their fingers.
He put one hand in his pocket and looked at the man leisurely, not even bothering to say a word.
The girl knew what was going on when she saw Xu Youjing pulling the girl next to him. Now seeing them holding hands tightly, what was there to not understand? She nodded and left.
When Wen Huai saw the person turning around, he was afraid of being seen by the people coming and going around, so he tried to pull it out but didn't.
Xu Youjing seemed to have forgotten that their hands were still clasped together, and he took her hand and walked out in big strides.
"It's not even." He was following up on what she had just said.
Wen Huai shifted his attention away from their clasped hands, not knowing what he meant.
The next second, he touched the finger with the wedding ring, and I heard him say thoughtfully: "Go back and put on the wedding ring to save trouble."
She looked up and happened to see a smile in his pale eyes.
"Don't you think so, Mrs. Xu?"
