Chapter 159: Making Her Heartbroken
"You can't have forgotten the year when we were studying together and there was something ambiguous going on!"
Xu Wenshu said this, and glanced at Huo Qingchi, with jealousy burning in his eyes, "Now that you've hooked up with a new man, you want to pretend that nothing happened in the past. You're such a cruel woman!"
"Xu Wenshu, as a doctor, my advice to you is to go to the hospital to see a neurosurgeon when you have time."
Ye Qingyue turned around and looked at Xu Wenshu.
In the police station, the police who heard this couldn't help but cover their mouths to hold back their laughter.
They are professionals and won't laugh easily.
"When we were in Xiangyang Village, you did teach me. I don't deny it."
Ye Qingyue said lightly: "In exchange, I saved my rations to give you as a reward, and I also helped you cook and clean the house. You often put on airs with me, saying that you were not feeling well and didn't want to teach me."
"When the weather was hottest, I went out under the scorching sun to fetch water for you and sprinkled it in the house to cool you down, so that you would feel better and teach me two more math problems."
"When the weather was coldest, I braved the wind and snow to get firewood for you, and then you were willing to lend me my physics notes."
Xu Wenshu is a mama's boy who cares about his reputation. Even if he likes Ye Qingyue, he hasn't taken advantage of her for a year. How can he be willing to do that?
During this year, Xu Wenshu had made things difficult for Ye Qingyue. He was nice to her but suppressed her at the same time, thinking that if he could wear off the sharpness in Ye Qingyue, this proud woman would bow down to him.
Ye Qingyue talked about these past events lightly.
But the people who heard these words were not so calm.
The policemen in the police station looked at Ye Qingyue's thin figure, and imagined the scenes she described of fetching water in the dog days of summer and picking firewood in the coldest days of winter, and they were all a little angry.
They glared at Xu Wenshu, "You are a grown man with hands and feet, and you actually let a girl who is a few years younger than you fetch water and chop firewood?!"
Xu Wenshu was flustered by the people staring at him.
His guilty look also confirmed that what Ye Qingyue said was true.
"You asked me if I forgot that year. Of course I didn't. In order to fetch water for you in exchange for math problems, my hands were rubbed with blisters. In order to chop wood for you in exchange for physics notes, my hands and feet developed frostbite. It was so painful and itchy that I couldn't sleep!"
Ye Qingyue said in a deep voice: "I remember that year, I suffered for studying. As for the ambiguity you mentioned, I have never heard of it and never seen it!"
"I, I..."
Xu Wenshu was speechless.
In his memory, the days that year were very comfortable.
Ye Qingyue took care of many chores, and he lay comfortably at home. When he was happy, he would flirt with Ye Qingyue, and when he was unhappy, he would ignore her.
He never thought that from Ye Qingyue's perspective, it would be like this.
Being exposed by Ye Qingyue for his incompetence in person, Xu Wenshu just wanted to find a crack to crawl into, but he hated Ye Qingyue for not giving him face.
Seeing that Xu Wenshu didn't dare to look at her, Ye Qingyue sneered and turned away.
This time, Xu Wenshu didn't dare to mess around anymore, and huddled in the corner like a quail.
Huo Qingchi looked at him deeply before catching up with Ye Qingyue.
At this time, it was already getting dark.
"Comrade Huo, I'm so sorry to have kept you for so long."
Ye Qingyue glanced at the sky and said, "Have you had dinner? I'll treat you..."
She turned around to discuss with Huo Qingchi.
But as soon as she turned around, she ran into a broad embrace.
The faint smell of soap and the unique scent of hormones on the man instantly enveloped her.
Although she only had her forehead against Huo Qingchi's chest, at that moment, she inexplicably had the illusion that she was being hugged tightly by Huo Qingchi.
Her ears felt a little hot.
"Comrade Ye is always like this, defenseless."
At this moment, Huo Qingchi's voice rang above her head.
Unlike the gentleness of the past, it was a little suppressed and low, as if he was enduring something, and his voice trembled a little.
"Comrade Huo...? What's wrong with you?"
Ye Qingyue raised her head in confusion, but she could only see Huo Qingchi's jawline, his slightly tense facial muscles, and the cold and hard lines, which revealed that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
"Comrade Ye is always like this, with a clear conscience."
Huo Qingchi did not look down at Ye Qingyue. His voice was a little cold, and with a hint of indescribable complexity. "You probably don't know that men's thoughts are not as clean as women's. Most of the time, they are dominated by primitive impulses."
"When you were fetching water and chopping wood for Xu Wenshu with a clear conscience, have you ever thought that maybe the man in front of you--" "
With a clear conscience?"
The last sentence was trembling more obviously.
Ye Qingyue was a little dazed, "Are you talking about Xu Wenshu? Or..." Are you
talking about you?
Although she has no experience in love, she is not a fool.
Although Huo Qingchi's words did not mention love in a single word, the words were more explicit than hints, and were no different from explicit statements.
"I can't have dinner with you tonight."
When Ye Qingyue wanted to ask more, Huo Qingchi took a step back and turned his back to her. "I came to you today to tell you that I have some problems in my business. I have to leave the capital immediately and I can't come back for a while. You should be careful when you are alone."
Ye Qingyue couldn't see Huo Qingchi's expression at this time, and could only hear his calm voice, "If you encounter any troubles, find the person I asked you to contact last time. I have already instructed him, and he will help you arrange it."
After that, Huo Qingchi left without looking back.
Ye Qingyue didn't even have the chance to stop him.
It's better to say that Ye Qingyue forgot to stop him.
Huo Qingchi's previous words made Ye Qingyue's heart a little confused for a while. She didn't know how to react, and could only watch Huo Qingchi leave.
After Huo Qingchi disappeared from his sight for a long time, Ye Qingyue slowly came back to his senses.
"Just...left?"
After Ye Qingyue came back to his senses, his first reaction was -
why did Huo Qingchi just leave?
He left a bunch of words that made her feel confused, and then left as if nothing happened, what was he doing?
Could it be that...
he regretted it?
"What you just said... I can't pretend I didn't hear it."
Ye Qingyue didn't know if Huo Qingchi regretted it and wanted to pretend that nothing happened, so he changed the subject and left.
But for her, some things can't be vague.
The guesses and things that she was not sure about before now seem to have been confirmed by the parties involved.
Ye Qingyue will not pretend that nothing happened.
If Huo Qingchi wants to take a step back, then -
she will take a step towards Huo Qingchi.
The next day.
Ye Qingyue found the small shop opened by Huo Qingchi near the hospital.
It was the thin man who stayed here last time who received her.
"Miss Ye, what do you have to do for you?"
The thin man saw her and immediately came up to her.
"Has Huo Qingchi left the capital now?"
Ye Qingyue asked straight to the point, "I want to contact him, what should I do?"
The thin man was surprised when he heard this.
Seeing his strange expression, Ye Qingyue asked, "What's wrong? Is he inconvenient now?"
"No, not that..."
The thin man said, and quickly took out a small key from his purse, opened the drawer, took out a letter from it, and handed it to Ye Qingyue.
"Mr. Huo gave me this letter before leaving the capital last night, saying that if you come to me and want to contact him, I will give you this letter. If you don't come to him, then return the letter to him after he returns to the capital."
The thin man still remembered that Huo Qingchi had a complicated expression when he held the letter.
When I asked him myself, he only said one sentence:
"I hope she can find me, but I always feel that this letter will eventually come back to me. After all... I scared her."
