Xia Xi felt a lump in his throat and leaned over to hug her.
Xia Yue had been running around these past few days, busy comforting the injured workers' families, looking for lawyers, and raising money. She had lost a lot of weight. Xia Xi buried her face in her shoulder, tears streaming down her clothes, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm leaving."
Xia Xi boarded the high-speed train bound for South City, feeling as heavy as a huge rock pressing on his heart.
In order to divert her attention, she clicked on the social platforms one by one. She didn't read any of the dazzling news, and just swiped away, finally clicking on WeChat.
Xu Yanfeng sent her a message, but she didn't see it.
I have been in a daze these days and missed a lot of unread messages.
Xu Yanfeng said he would return to China in the afternoon and asked if we would like to have dinner together in the evening.
Xia Xi took a deep breath, poked the screen with her finger, typed two words and replied: "Okay." She tried to make herself as light as before, but the two words still felt so heavy.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Xu Yanfeng, she realized that he should be on the plane at the moment, so she put away her phone and closed her eyes to rest.
When Xia Xi returned to school, her roommate asked her what happened at home. She remained silent, buried her head in her homework, and went to class with her bag on her back. However, when she arrived in the classroom, she realized that she had taken the wrong textbook.
After class, Xia Xi went back to the dormitory and was in a daze for a while. She looked at the time, changed her clothes, sat at the table to put on makeup, and saw a slightly tired face in the mirror. She carefully applied concealer to cover the dark circles, then carefully applied a layer of foundation, and finally used brightener to make her face look fuller and more plump, completely different from before.
Zhao Lei stared at her makeup steps, shook her head and said "tsk", "What on earth are you putting on that beautiful face of yours?"
Xia Xi smiled faintly. They used to like teasing her like this when she was putting on makeup.
Zhao Lei lay on the bed, resting her head on her arm and asked, "Are you going on a date with Xu Yanfeng?"
Xia Xi: "Yeah."
Zhao Lei frowned. She felt that Xia Xi had become strange after returning home. She was so quiet. But she didn't ask, thinking that maybe she had something to hide that she couldn't speak of.
She was a little worried about Xia Xi, so she asked politely, "Xi Xi, are you in a bad mood?"
Xia Xi finished applying lipstick and turned her head to look at her: "Maybe I didn't get enough rest, I feel a little tired."
Zhao Lei nodded, turned over and held up her phone to watch the variety show.
Xia Xi went out with her bag, and her steps became slower and slower as she went down the stairs. Zhao Lei's words reminded her that she looked in a bad mood, and she couldn't show that she was in a bad mood.
She raised the corners of her lips and smiled faintly at the air.
I didn't look in the mirror, so I don't know if my smile is natural.
She underestimated Xu Yanfeng's observation skills. He noticed something was wrong with her within less than a minute of meeting her.
