Chapter 62 Please Respect Yourself
Xia Yu turned his head and looked elsewhere. "It must be a bit cold after the rain, Zhengnan, give me some clothes to wear."
Others also looked around as if they would get stye if they looked at me.
Xu Zhengnan turned his head and looked at me, his eyes fell on my chest. The white gauze shirt dress I was wearing today was wet by the rain, and the fabric was sticking to my skin, making it look a little exposed.
When I realized what was happening, I quickly covered my chest, feeling extremely embarrassed.
His eyes deepened a little, and then he quickly took the coat next to him and threw it into my hand, "Put it on."
"It's useless to wear this, right? It's uncomfortable when it's wet and sticks to your body. It's better to change it. There is a compartment there and no one can see it." A girl spoke with a smile and pointed to the corner of the tent.
There was indeed a separation there. I smiled at her gratefully, picked up Xu Zhengnan's clothes, went inside, and quickly changed them.
When I came out again, the rain outside had stopped. This heavy rain came and went quickly. Everyone else in the tent had already left, leaving only Xu Zhengnan in the tent.
"Thank you. I will wash your clothes and return them to you next time." I thanked him.
Xu Zhengnan stood up, his voice without any fluctuation, "It doesn't matter, just throw it away."
After saying that, he prepared to go out.
I called him, "Xu Zhengnan!"
He stopped, but didn't look back.
"I'm sorry, I know you are disappointed in me. We once agreed to take the college entrance examination together, but I didn't do it. Can we still be friends in the future?" I plucked up the courage to apologize to him. In my heart, I still wanted to repair our relationship and give it another try.
Xu Zhengnan's answer was straightforward, "No."
The little hope in my heart was shattered in an instant, and his voice continued to ring, "The person you feel sorry for is not me, but yourself. When you chose Shen Yixiao, we could no longer be friends. I believe he doesn't want you to have any contact with me, please respect yourself."
The words “please respect yourself” almost made me cry, and I felt extremely sad.
As I watched him leave the tent, my cell phone rang.
It was Shen Yixiao who called, "Wife, where are you? Why is the tent gone?"
"Wait for me by the car, I'll be there soon." I took the clothes I had changed and left the tent. When I returned to the car, Shen Yixiao and the others had already arrived.
Seeing the obviously ill-fitting men's coat on me, Shen Yixiao's face instantly fell, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction and suspicion, "Whose clothes are you wearing?"
"The tent was not secured properly and was blown over by the wind. The car was locked and I couldn't get in, so I hid in someone else's tent for a while. A man had an extra coat and lent it to me to change into," I replied.
Shen Yixiao was still unhappy, "Which tent? Which man?"
I pointed at it casually, and Shen Yixiao was about to go over to ask for clarification, but I held him back, "They helped me, but you still want to question them aggressively, is it necessary?"
"I'll go thank him." Shen Yixiao denied.
"The man's wife is here too, you look like you're going there to thank him?" I opened the car door and got in. "You can go if you want, as long as you think it's appropriate."
Liang Feng said, "Let's get in the car and go back first. If it's just a stranger asking for help, there's no need to ask. Besides, my sister-in-law just got caught in the rain. It would be better for her to go back and take a hot bath."
Seeing that I looked unwell and also worried about my health, Shen Yixiao pursed his lips, stopped talking, and got into the car directly.
Meng Zicheng and Su Ying, who had just been found, drove another car.
I kept sneezing and coughing along the way, which seemed to be caused by the rain. I was so sleepy that I curled up in the back seat and prepared to take a nap.
There was a faint fragrance coming from the coat, mixed with a hint of ink. It was hard to say what it smelled like specifically, but it smelled reassuring, like the fragrance that permeated Xu Zhengnan's always sunny bedroom.
For a moment, this fragrance brought me back to a long time ago, when I stayed in Xu Zhengnan's bedroom under the pretext of doing homework. Under the setting sun, I bit the tip of my pen out of boredom and secretly glanced at that handsome boy.
"We're home." Shen Yixiao's voice broke my half-sleep.
My whole body was burning hot and even my bones ached.
Shen Yixiao opened the car door and carried me out of the car, "Do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
I don't have the energy to answer. My health has indeed been a little poor in the past two years. I don't know if it's because I took too many different kinds of medicines. Antidepressants also have side effects that affect my body.
After I was brought home, Shen Yixiao gave me some antipyretic medicine and blew my wet hair dry. I couldn't take a shower, so I could only take a nap.
I don't know how long I slept, when I woke up, it was already night.
"Not tonight. She has a fever and I have to take care of her."
"You can't order food from Jia Yuan anymore. Try another restaurant next time. She's been there once. I heard that someone at Feicui Hua Ting orders food every day. I'm worried that she'll find out about you."
"Yeah, hung up."
As soon as I went downstairs, I heard Shen Yixiao's voice, which was a little low, but it couldn't stand my sharp ears.
In the living room, Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng were still there, lying on the sofa playing games, reacting to what Shen Yixiao said as if they were accustomed to it.
I reached out and grasped the guardrail, exerting some force, my emotions in turmoil.
They didn't notice me, they were so engrossed in the games on their phones.
It was not until I deliberately made footsteps that the three of them turned their heads and saw me.
"Wife!" Shen Yixiao walked over quickly and held my arm, his face full of concern, "Are you feeling better? Does your head still hurt?"
I shook my head. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
"I asked my aunt to cook scallop porridge. Dinner should be ready soon. Let's eat together." After he helped me walk to the living room, Meng Zicheng and Liang Feng quickly put down their phones and asked about my well-being.
I looked around, "Where's Su Ying?"
Meng Zicheng snorted, "I scolded her, and she ran away in anger again."
"Scold?" I was a little confused.
"She's talking nonsense to alienate the relationship between you and Brother Xiao. Shouldn't you scold her? I know you and she are good friends. It's not good to say something too harsh. I'll say it for you." Meng Zicheng replied with a smile.
I glanced at Shen Yixiao, and he agreed with Meng Zicheng’s statement, “Wife, Zicheng is right, you should listen less to Su Ying in the future.”
I smiled.
The food was ready, and the four of us had a rare meal together. There was no one else, and the atmosphere was very good. Meng Zicheng liked to recall the good and bad times the most, thinking back to those frustrating days.
Shen Yixiao kept picking up food for me, and from time to time he scolded Meng Zicheng for joking in moderation. Liang Feng acted as a listener, and occasionally joined Meng Zicheng in making jokes.
This was a scene we had once fantasized about together, and it had finally come true, but deep down, I had become isolated from the three of them.
“Wife, I will issue a notice tomorrow about the document, saying that I made a mistake on my own and won’t let others talk about you.” Shen Yixiao looked at me affectionately and said.
I smiled slightly coldly and nodded.
He breathed a sigh of relief, not noticing anything was wrong with me.
