Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Long time no see
last night.
[Cousin, guess who I’m having dinner with now? ]
When Yu Ziche sent the message, Yu Sixie was in a meeting.
He didn't have the habit of looking at his phone during meetings, but in order to discipline a few new friends who were putting on airs, the meeting was forced to last until eight o'clock in the evening.
With a cold face, he casually opened the message from Yu Ziche.
Yu Ziche is Yu Sixie's cousin. They are three years apart in age and can barely be considered the same age.
Yu Sixie only lived in W City for a long time before transferring to another school abroad in the second year of junior high school. Later, he moved around and stayed in various places for a while. Yu Ziche, on the other hand, has always lived with his parents in W City. He is a typical idle rich second generation and has no worries in life.
So, the two people are not too familiar with each other, but they are not strangers either. After all, they meet every Chinese New Year.
Yu Sixie casually mentioned the name of a mutual friend of theirs.
The other party replied immediately.
[No, no, guess again! ]
A photo of the exquisite meal followed the message.
It was obvious that two people were having dinner.
At the top of the photo is a pair of very white and small hands, obviously female.
On the index finger of her left hand she wears a ring with alternating green and white diamonds.
Yu Sixie's eyes darkened. The night he got drunk, the other person was wearing such a ring on his hand.
He could not remember the other person's appearance, but he remembered the feeling of being in perfect harmony with her.
He has only slept with one person in this world.
In just a few minutes, all kinds of possibilities flashed through his mind. He was used to controlling all situations when doing something.
After a while, Yu Sixie's frown relaxed.
Seeing this, several unlucky people in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief and were finally able to go home.
Yu Sixie's typing speed increased.
I bought a new car and it's in the garage of my villa in Beijing.
What this means is that if you explain the whole story clearly, the car will be yours.
Yu Ziche immediately told Yu Sixie about his dinner with Xitong, the news of her return to China, and the medical cooperation between Lihe and Haicheng.
Xi Tong would never have thought that Yu Ziche, who had been keeping his head down at the dinner table, was informing someone she wanted to avoid.
It’s not that she hasn’t thought about what it means to meet Yu Ziche or cooperate with Lihe Group. Yu Sixie knows that it’s only a matter of time before she returns to China.
But she didn't think this would cause anything. As long as they didn't meet and Yu Sixie didn't know about Xizhi's existence, it would be fine.
Cooperation with Lihe Group is more important. For this project, she must have Lihe's help. No other company in W City can do it.
There was nothing between her and him a long time ago, and he didn't love her that much either. They were just friends with benefits.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so decisive when she proposed breaking up, without saying a word to try to keep her.
Cold and heartless.
W City, Magnolia Garden.
"Hey! You're finally back, little guy. I haven't seen you for a long time! Nao Nao, say hello to big brother!"
An old lady in her seventies was holding the hand of her grandson who had just finished school. As soon as the little boy saw Yu Sixie, he grabbed his grandmother and rushed towards him.
Yu Sixie smiled at the old lady, squatted down and touched the little boy who was covered in dust from playing.
"Brother! I miss you so much!"
The little boy let go of his grandmother's hand and hugged Yu Sixie's thigh, clinging to him like a koala.
The little eyes kept blinking.
The assistant following behind Yu Sixie was not surprised. Although he first saw this scene of "loving father and filial son" a few years ago, he was still shocked.
That was when Yu Sixie had just bought a house in Mulan Garden. Before the assistant could recover from the fact that the group's young master, who had always been obsessed with mysophobia, was going to buy such an old and dilapidated house, he was frightened by a sweaty child bumping into Yu Sixie.
This community full of elderly people and children is incompatible with his family, which has lived in villas or high-end apartments since childhood.
However, Yu Sixie quickly became friends with the little boy and didn't mind at all that his expensive clothes got dirty.
From then on, the assistant had a new understanding of his young master.
Yu Sixie exchanged a few more pleasantries with the old lady, asked his assistant to distribute the supplements and toys he brought to the old lady and the nearby residents, and then went home.
The old lady carrying a large bag of supplements smiled and said, "What a nice young man! He is even more handsome than the one on TV, and he is so kind and friendly. Where can I find such a good kid?"
"It's a pity that I don't have a daughter this old... I don't know who will get this blessing."
Hearing this, the assistant walking by couldn't help but think of Madam Yu's gloomy expression. "Yu Sixie, you'll be thirty next year. You should think carefully about getting married."
At this time, a few hundred meters away in Building 5, Xi Tongyin was sleeping.
She dreamed of Yu Sixie again.
But this time it wasn't in bed, but the scene of their first meeting.
Yu Sixie and Xi Tong were classmates in junior high school and even attended the same extracurricular physical training class.
The reunion with Yu Sixie was in the summer after the college entrance examination. Xitong contacted several junior high school classmates, but those friends who were once very familiar to her could only say a few words.
Only Yu, a classmate who transferred to another school early and with whom I had little interaction, said he wanted to meet.
In the bookstore, an eighteen-year-old boy in a dark blue coat stood tall, the sound of the drizzle drowning out her heartbeat.
Xitong, who had just finished high school and was still wearing her school uniform, suddenly felt a little ashamed of herself because the boy in front of her was much more handsome than her.
Her eyelashes are thick and curled behind the black frames.
It really proves the saying "When I have pearls and jade around me, I feel ashamed of myself".
…
W City, First People's Hospital.
One of the main reasons why Xitong returned to China this time was because of her grandmother, who was diagnosed with stage III cervical cancer.
There were no relatives at home who could help, so she had to come back.
Besides, Xizhi was also of school age. Although he was smart, he still had to go to school. What he learned was not knowledge, but how to behave.
Xitong hopes that he can enjoy the different stages of life like ordinary people, unless Xizhi himself comes up with other ideas.
On Saturday, Xitong went to visit her grandmother alone.
"I've been looking forward to it so long that my granddaughter is finally back!"
Grandma, who was walking around in the ward, gave Xitong a big hug.
Seeing the sparse white hair on grandma's head and feeling the obviously thin body in her arms, Xitong's eyes felt a little sore.
She came back too late.
"grandmother."
Her voice was choked with sobs, and Xitong didn't know what to say. She had never been able to say nice words since she was a child, and when she grew up, she swallowed everything.
In the past, when her family was still around, she couldn't say anything nice during the Chinese New Year. When she toasted, she would only say "Happy New Year". Her mother would always say that she was not good at talking, but her grandmother would protect her.
"No need to say too much good things, it still depends on what you do!"
"We Xiaoxi understand everything, so you don't need to explain it."
At this time, grandma pulled Xitong to sit on the sofa, touched her hand with a hand like a dry branch, and spoke the same words that she was familiar with.
"Our Xiao Xi——"
Grandma knew Xiaoxi didn't like to talk, so she would always talk more. She would ask about how Xiaoxi was eating and sleeping, if Xiaoxi was okay, if work had been hard lately, and if she had met someone she liked.
Xitong patiently told her grandmother everything, and the day passed quickly.
She had agreed with her grandmother to visit her the next day and was about to leave.
The grandmother, who was always outspoken, suddenly hesitated and pulled Xitong to stop her from leaving.
"Grandma, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
The doctor told me that my grandmother’s condition is not very good and the chances of recovery are very slim.
"Xiao Xi, grandma knows that you have your own ideas and are living a good life now, but grandma is really worried about you being alone. Although Xiao Zhi is older, he still needs someone to help him. It's too hard for you to be alone..."
Xitong was stunned for a moment, then understood what her grandmother meant.
This is to urge her to get married.
Ever since giving birth to Xizhi, Xitong no longer had any thoughts about relationships between men and women. Except for satisfying her personal physiological needs, she would feel that having a man was more convenient, but she would never think about this at other times.
There are so many things in the world worth spending your energy on.
Xizhi's arrival made her feel that her obligations in marriage and love had ended. She did not expect that even after having a child, her grandmother still wanted her to get married.
Seeing Xitong was silent, grandma knew that she had understood a little, so she hurriedly continued.
"Do you still remember your chubby deskmate in elementary school? He was good at math. His name was Zhou Haoyu."
"He's Dr. Zhou's biological brother. How could such a coincidence happen?"
"The day before yesterday, he came to bring food to Dr. Zhou, and I saw him! He's not fat anymore, he's a handsome man! He's said to be teaching math at the elementary school in our neighborhood. Maybe he's Xiaozhi's teacher!"
Su Luyao was still the one who worried about most of Xizhi's affairs, and Xitong didn't know who his math teacher was.
"But it's just like you. You're so old and still have no place to go. It's really worrying!"
If the state of conversation between grandma and Xitong before was like a pool of water, peaceful and gentle, then now it was like a fountain pouring down from a height, full of vitality.
Seeing her grandmother's excitement and happiness, Xitong also felt happy.
She agreed to meet Zhou Haoyu when she was free.
Under the supervision of my grandmother, I sent him a message.
…
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when Xitong walked out of the hospital. She stood at the hospital door and looked at the people coming and going, feeling a little empty.
Grandma's words were like nails that pierced her heart.
Most people who come to the hospital come in groups, including anxious parents holding their children and middle-aged couples supporting their elderly parents.
Su Luyao also has her own mother to take care of, and she can't always be with her.
If she is the only one left, can she take good care of Xizhi?
There are too many things in this world that cannot be obtained with money.
For example, her deceased parents.
If they had persisted for a few more years and received the unexpected wealth upon graduation, perhaps everything would have been different.
But who knows? Perhaps they will incur even greater debts while alive, and end up with the same fate.
When Yu Sixie saw Xi Tong again after seven years, he saw her standing alone at the hospital gate, lost in thought.
The flowing crowd naturally formed a barrier between her and her.
Beige windbreaker, light blue shirt, and white suit pants.
Her long curly hair was draped in front of her, revealing her left ear.
He thought of the scene when they first met, at the door of the bookstore. She was wearing a blue and white school uniform, and her bangs were too short to cover the eyes that were staring at him.
Yu Sixie had been stared at like this by many girls since he was a child. He knew what that meant, but this was the first time he felt the urge to bully someone.
He wanted to make her cry in bed.
He wanted to see what those eyes looked like when they became watery with desire.
Later, he saw it as he wished.
Every time in bed, he would push aside the loose hair in front of her forehead, revealing her full forehead. Those beautiful eyes should not be blocked. He liked the undisguised love in her eyes.
Only at this time will she become sincere and let down her guard.
Memories of when he was drunk suddenly flooded into Yu Sixie's mind, and the forgotten night was finally remembered.
He knew in his heart that it was Xitong, but he didn't dare to confirm it until he saw her in person.
Seven years is longer than seventy.
Yu Sixie stood in front of Xitong. The distance between them was less than one meter, and he could smell the faint fragrance on her body.
Become mature.
Become beautiful.
Is this what she wants to be like? Is this the happiness he can't give her?
Those emotions that were deliberately buried could no longer be suppressed at this moment: bitterness, confusion, and resentment.
[Yu Sixie, let's break up. You can't give me the happiness I want.]
Compared to boiling a frog in warm water, perhaps a knife would be more satisfying and less torturous.
I had clearly confirmed that he was in Beijing, but I didn't expect to see him anyway.
Xi Tong didn't think deeply about why Yu Sixie appeared here.
Finally meeting the person she had avoided like the plague for seven years, she was shocked but also relieved.
That night in Beijing, she also got drunk and slept with him in a daze.
His bedding was as bad as ever, and every time he did it he was going to make her feel like she was dying.
She was shaking uncontrollably, and the water soaked large areas of the bed sheets.
Only now did she feel like they were truly reunited.
The heart is very quiet.
There was no expected fear, sadness, or grief, let alone excitement or joy.
The phone kept vibrating, Zhou Haoyu kept sending her messages.
【I'm free anytime! Anytime!】
【It's been a long time since we last met. Time flies.】
Even her elementary school classmates, whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years, were so enthusiastic towards her, but he would just look down at her without saying a word.
No matter how close the relationship is, it is only a temporary pleasure.
The negative distance between the body and the soul is not the same as the negative distance between the body and the soul. He never thought about understanding her. He always loved this body and the beautiful family he imagined.
She should never become a tool for him to bear children.
"Let me go, you're blocking me."
Xitong spoke as if she was talking to a stranger, walked sideways around him, picked up her phone and replied to the message.
However, a warm big hand held her wrist.
The phone fell to the ground unexpectedly.
His words were still cold and tough. "Yu Ziche has been sent to Jing City. I will be in charge of the Guangcheng Medical project from now on. See you on Monday."
