After entering the house, Chen Ziqi yawned and said, "I'm sleepy and I'm going to sleep."

Lao Chen put away his keys and changed his shoes while asking, "Are you hungry? I'll cook you some noodles."

Hearing the word "noodles", Chen Ziqi subconsciously wanted to agree, but immediately realized that it was not Chen Xu who said this, and said impatiently, "No thanks." Then he went into his room and closed the door.

Alas, if Chen Xu were here, he would definitely start nagging again.

She grumbled to herself. Chen Xu had told her several times before that she shouldn't be so rude to her father.

This guy doesn't even understand his own business, but he's always meddling in other people's business.

She threw the things in her hands and sat on the bed. Just as she was about to take out her phone, there was a knock on the door. Then she pushed it open. Her father poked his head in and said, "How about I order takeout? How about barbecue? Or crayfish?"

Chen Ziqi glared at him and said, "Really, no need. I'm not hungry."

"Not hungry?"

Chen Ziqi shook his head, "I'm just sleepy."

"Okay, then go to sleep." The door closed gently.

Chen Ziqi felt so tired. She had to coax her father, and there was also the mess at Chen Xu's place waiting for her to clean up.

"Both men are very worrying."

She shook her head, took out her phone, and muttered, "This Chen Xu is so slow in doing things. It's three days later. By then, the opportunity will be gone."

As he spoke, he dialed Luo Xiyun's phone number.

One minute later, no one answered and the call was automatically disconnected.

"Falling asleep? Or, deliberately ignoring my call?"

She didn't give up and kept calling, but the other party didn't answer. After the fifth time, she finally gave up.

"It seems that he fell asleep."

She thought to herself, but this was not a problem for her. She opened WeChat, selected Luo Xiyun from the contacts, closed her eyes, gathered her emotions, pressed the talk button, and said in a panic, "Sister Xiyun, it's bad, Chen Xu fainted again..."

…………

On the other side of the earth, it was noon.

In a high-end restaurant, there is a piano in the middle. A young man in a suit is sitting there playing. Soft music seems to flow out from the keys.

At a table near the window, Luo Xiyun and Liu Yumeng sat face to face, with a steak and a glass of red wine in front of each of them.

Half of the steak had been eaten, and only a thin layer of red wine remained in the glass.

Luo Xiyun lowered his head and gently cut the steak with the knife and fork in his hand, but after several attempts, he failed to cut the small piece of steak.

Across from her, Liu Yumeng put a small piece of beef dipped in sauce into her mouth, but her eyes were looking at her and the cell phone next to her that was vibrating constantly.

The phone had been ringing for a long time, but Luo Xiyun acted as if he didn't hear it. He didn't hang up, didn't answer, and didn't even look at it. He just kept his head down and cut steak.

It's just that she has been in that position for several minutes. How many minutes does it take to cut a steak?

In Liu Yumeng's view, this is pure escape.

Because of the angle, she couldn't see the name of the contact on the phone clearly, she could only see the word "Chen". There was no doubt that this call was definitely related to Chen Xu.

At this moment, she felt conflicted. On the one hand, she didn't want her friend to have anything to do with that scumbag, but on the other hand, she secretly hoped that she could get back together with him...

Once, she accidentally found out that her brother had always had a woman in his heart. Then she understood why her brother had never thought of pursuing Xiyun.

The woman's name was Yang Jinxia. It was also from that time that she began to care about the woman's information.

Unfortunately, Yang Jinxia kept a very low profile and had never been in the news. Even on the Internet, her photo could not be found. It was even more difficult to meet her.

Although it was hard to believe, she knew Luo Xiyun's character better and knew he would never talk about such a thing.

She felt sorry for her brother, as the woman he loved so much ended up with a man like Chen Xu.

Just now, she couldn't help but have an idea: if Luo Xiyun and Chen Xu got back together, wouldn't her brother have a chance? It was this contradictory mentality that made her say nothing this time, contrary to her usual behavior, and waited for Xiyun to make her own decision.

After four or five times, the phone finally stopped vibrating.

Luo Xiyun paused, then put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, saying, "I'm full..."

Tick-tock...

At this time, her cell phone rang again and she received a WeChat message.

Seeing that she had no intention of checking WeChat, Liu Yumeng put down the knife and fork in her hand and said, "I'm done eating too, so let's go." As she spoke, she raised her hand, called the waiter over, and prepared to pay the bill.

Tick, tick…

During this time, Luo Xiyun's cell phone kept ringing. Liu Yumeng looked at her and noticed that her hands were clenching and unclenching, clenching and unclenching, and knew that she was struggling violently.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't approve of Xiyun and Chen Xu getting back together, putting aside the problem of their personalities. Since they decided to break up in the first place, there must be irreconcilable conflicts. Even if they got back together, the conflicts would still exist, and sooner or later they would explode, and they would still break up in the end.

Even if Chen Xu and Yang Jinxia broke up, so what? As the saying goes, it is easy to change a country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. If this happens once, there will definitely be a second time, a third time...

Humph, man!

She thought to herself, took out a card from her bag, handed it to the waiter, paid the bill and gave a tip.

When the waiter left, she said, "Let's go."

Luo Xiyun stood up and picked up her mobile phone. She just happened to receive another WeChat message. Her hand seemed to be burned and she loosened it.

Liu Yumeng felt bad for her and couldn't help but say, "Maybe there really is something urgent."

Luo Xiyun didn't say anything, picked up the phone again and stood up.

The two walked outside side by side. When they were almost at the gate, Liu Yumeng said, "Take a look. You should also make a break. If you don't read it, this matter will always weigh on your mind. At most, after reading it, you can block it and completely cut off contact."

After hearing her words, Luo Xiyun held the phone tightly in his hand.

Liu Yumeng rented a car, and she had a driver's license here. After the two got in the car, Luo Xiyun finally made up his mind and unlocked his phone.

Liu Yumeng saw that there were many messages, all of which were long voice messages.

Luo Xiyun hesitated for a moment, then pointed at the first line with her finger. A girl's crying voice rang out, "Sister Xiyun, it's bad, Chen Xu fainted again..."

Liu Yumeng also heard it, looked at her, and saw that her face changed suddenly.

Luo Xiyun immediately clicked on the second message, which was still the voice of the crying girl. "Originally, he was almost well, but after a few days, his complexion became worse and worse. Later, I found out that he was secretly taking sleeping pills..."

At this moment, Liu Yumeng saw her face turn pale.

"Sister Xiyun, I don't know what happened between you. But Chen Xu really loves you. One night, I saw him holding your photo and crying secretly in his room..."

"Just now, he suddenly fainted. I was so scared. I called you but no one answered. Please come and see him quickly - the doctor is out..."

This is the last message.

After a suffocating silence, Luo Xiyun spoke, "Please take me to the airport."

Liu Yumeng felt a little reluctant after all, "Have you thought it through?"

"I'll just take a look."
