Chapter 228 The Dog Who Gets Soaked in the Soup
That day, Li Wenxi was alone in the office working on algorithms. Time passed quietly until the afterglow of the setting sun filled the sky outside the window and the sky gradually darkened.
She rubbed her tired eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was time. She packed up the documents on the table, turned off the computer on the table, and prepared to go out.
When she walked out of the office, the corridor was extremely quiet, with only a faint light illuminating the aisle. She suddenly caught a glimpse of a person lying on his back on a bench in the aisle, breathing steadily. She was startled at first, but when she saw the familiar training uniform on the person, she immediately reacted. It was Han Yi.
Since Han Yi reported to the Beijing Military Region two years ago, he has come to see her almost every time he has a holiday. Sometimes, time is too tight, and he comes directly to her in training clothes, just like now.
I don't know how he knew that she was in this office.
Seeing Han Yi sleeping soundly, Li Wenxi couldn't help but lighten her steps and walked over lightly. She saw that there was inextricable fatigue hidden between Han Yi's brows, but his familiar features were still handsome. It has been three months since I last saw Han Yi. Seeing him like this now, I guess he didn't get a good sleep for a few days during this mission.
Just as she was fascinated, she suddenly heard Han Yi's low and laughing voice: "Do you find that I am getting more and more handsome?"
Li Wenxi was startled, her face slightly red, and she replied angrily: "I see that you have become darker again."
Han Yi turned over and stood up. "You don't like my dark skin? That's a bit difficult." With a sad face, "I have to find something to whiten my skin when I get back."
Li Wenxi knew that Han Yi said this on purpose, so she ignored him and glanced at his tired face: "Is this mission very tiring?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "It's not tiring when I see you. Haven't you eaten yet? I'll take you to eat something delicious."
Li Wenxi was embarrassed when he heard it: "Han Yi, I can't go to dinner with you today. Li Haoran asked me to have dinner with him tonight. Can I treat you to dinner tomorrow?" Han Yi usually has a few days off after a mission.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Haoran came over.
The smile on Han Yi's face disappeared instantly, and his eyes shot at Li Haoran like a knife.
The moment Li Haoran saw Han Yi, his expression changed, but he quickly quickened his pace and walked to Li Wenxi, "Xiaoxi, can we leave now?" He nodded to Han Yi again.
Li Wenxi replied, "Okay." Then he turned to explain to Han Yi, "I didn't know you were coming today. Li Haoran and I made an appointment a few days ago. You should go back and rest early."
Han Yi pursed his lips and looked at Li Wenxi, saying in a light voice, "Since you have made an appointment a long time ago, I won't bother you. I will find you tomorrow." He
turned around and strode downstairs. Before leaving, he looked at Li Haoran deeply.
Li Wenxi looked at Han Yi's back, and a trace of guilt and complicated emotions rose in her heart, but she still restrained her emotional fluctuations, turned to Li Haoran and said, "Let's go."
The two went to a hotel outside the school together. On the way, Li Haoran took the initiative to chat with Li Wenxi about life and work.
"I may have to work on a project with Professor Wang this summer. What about you, when will you report to the procuratorate?" Li Haoran was assigned to work in a district procuratorate in Beijing.
"Next week, so I can rest for a week." Li Haoran smiled.
Although the two talked casually, Han Yi's figure appeared in Li Wenxi's mind from time to time, especially his slightly lost and forbearing expression. When ordering, she accidentally glanced at the "Chestnut Stewed Chicken" on the menu, and immediately thought of Han Yi in her mind.
He particularly liked this dish. They had often eaten together over the past three years, and she had clearly memorized his eating habits.
When the waiter left with the menu, Li Haoran suddenly said seriously: "Xiaoxi, I asked you out today because I have something to tell you."
Li Wenxi raised her head and looked at Li Haoran, feeling something was wrong.
"I like you. I have liked you since junior high school." Li Haoran said word by word: "I am really happy to meet you again at Tsinghua University. Now that I am going to work officially, I hope you can consider me seriously."
Li Wenxi was stunned. After a moment of silence, she said in a calm but firm tone: "Li Haoran, thank you. But I always treat you as a friend. I think it would be better if we continue to be friends."
A trace of disappointment appeared on Li Haoran's face, but he still tried to squeeze out a smile: "You really won't give me any chance?"
Li Wenxi shook his head gently, with a hint of apology: "Relationships can't be forced, I don't want you to waste your time. You will always be a good friend to me."
A bitter smile flashed in Li Haoran's eyes, and he finally let go of the obsession: "I understand. You can tell me frankly, I am very grateful."
Li Haoran obviously became disappointed, but he still poured tea for Li Wenxi very gentlemanly. After a while, he asked unwillingly: " Is it because of Han Yi? "
Li Wenxi was stunned again. She didn't expect Li Haoran to ask this question. She thought for a moment and said frankly: "To be honest, I haven't thought about this question before, but when you asked me just now, I realized that maybe he was partly responsible."
Seeing Li Wenxi analyzing her heart so seriously, Li Haoran was somewhat relieved and smiled: "I know, Han Yi is indeed very good, and I admire him very much."
Then he raised his teacup and clinked it with Li Wenxi, "As an old classmate, I hope you can live happily in the future."
Li Wenxi also raised his teacup, "Haoran, thank you, you have to live happily too."
After dinner, Li Haoran insisted on sending Li Wenxi back to the dormitory. The two of them were talking now, and the atmosphere was even more harmonious. They talked and laughed all the way down to Li Wenxi's dormitory.
However, when they approached the dormitory building, Li Wenxi suddenly saw a familiar figure standing under the dim street lights. Han Yi put his hands in his pockets and stared coldly in their direction.
"It seems that Han Yi really cares about you." Li Haoran said with a smile, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Compared to him, I am indeed a little worse."
Li Wenxi saw Han Yi standing there, and a complicated emotion rose in her heart. She didn't expect Han Yi to wait here all the time, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
Then she heard Li Haoran say: "Xiaoxi, can I hug you? It's a farewell to the past."
Li Wenxi nodded, but she unconsciously glanced at Han Yi in the distance, and she and Li Haoran hugged each other gently.
Li Haoran smiled and glanced at Han Yi in the distance. He felt that Han Yi was like a broken tile falling on the ground, sharp and full of sadness.
Li Haoran felt a little pleasure after revenge and was in a good mood.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you guys can chat." Li Haoran said and turned away.
After Li Haoran left, Li Wenxi turned and walked towards Han Yi. Han Yi was still standing under the street light, like a lonely little wolfdog waiting and drenched by the heavy rain. She sighed lightly: "Didn't you leave? Why are you back again?"
