Chapter 112 I Reject You Once
Except for those around her, the internet was almost completely silent about Fang Xin's kidnapping.
An Mei was so worried that she sent every meal to the hospital. Because Fang Xin was a secret patient, only the attending physician and the dedicated nurse knew that she was in the hospital.
During this period, Xu Shi'an came to the hospital almost every day after work. The doctor said that he was almost ready to be discharged, so he left work early and came to the hospital to help him pack his things and take him home.
Fang Xin felt helpless when looking at her large amount of luggage. She didn't think she had much stuff when she first arrived, but now she had a lot of bags.
Xu Shi'an did everything himself and didn't let others interfere. Fang Xin was touched when she saw him busying around.
Returning to Xu's residence, Fang Xin shook his head, "I just moved back home not long ago, and now I'm back again."
During the time when Xu was recuperating at home, many people came to visit him, even Shen Yaojie came in person.
"You don't have to worry about your work. This is a serious matter. You should also be more careful."
"Well, I understand, but this matter involves Lin Hui, and I'm afraid there is no way to resolve it." Fang Xin frowned, looking a little worried.
Shen Yaojie's expression changed slightly, and he asked back, "Don't you know what Xu Shi'an has been doing recently?"
Fang Xin looked at him in confusion, and Shen Yaojie directly told him the news he had recently received, "Xu Shi'an is not in Yuexing, he has returned to the headquarters of Xu Group."
In the original script, Xu Shi'an officially took over the Xu Group only after Yuan Wei and Lu Ziyan achieved success. Now the plot is a mess and Fang Xin can't figure out what's going on, but Xu Shi'an must have his reasons for doing this.
"He has found a lot of evidence of money laundering by the Lin Group. The tree is big and the roots are deep. It cannot be eradicated without force. Chen Mi's whereabouts will also be found out during the investigation. You should have a good rest."
Shen Yaojie left after saying this, looking very busy.
Just as he was leaving the Xu residence, Shen Yaojie bumped into Xu Shian who had just returned.
When mortal enemies meet, tit-for-tat is inevitable.
"Mr. Shen, what is the matter that brought you to my house? We are not close enough to visit each other." Xu Shi'an stood at the door with a bad look in his eyes.
Shen Yaojie gave Fang Xin, who came out of the Xu residence to see him off, a meaningful look. He raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, "An artist from my company was injured. As a superior, I should come and visit him."
Xu Shian took a step forward, his height was quite high and his eyes were not inferior, "No need."
Shen Yaojie shrugged his shoulders to show his helplessness, and tilted his head slightly to Fang Xin and said, "It seems that we can only meet in the company from now on. Your brother doesn't welcome me very much."
Fang Xin was about to say something when Xu Shi'an frowned, "You'd better not try to sow discord here."
Fang Xin saw that the atmosphere between the two people was not right, so he hurried forward to block Xu Shi'an behind him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, my brother has been under too much pressure recently and hasn't had a good rest. Please understand."
Then he ushered the person to the door and said, "We will discuss it next time at the company. Thank you Mr. Shen for visiting me despite your busy schedule."
After Shen Yaojie left, Fang Xin turned around to look at the person behind him. Xu Shi'an was standing there without moving, as if he was waiting for him.
Walking forward, he touched Xu Shi'an's hand and said, "Let's go home."
Xu Shi'an followed behind him and covered his heart, which was beating so violently that it seemed like it would jump out of his chest. He looked at the back that made his heart beat like a drum, and a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Fang Xin had just protected him and spoken for him. At that moment, he felt happier than if he had succeeded in business.
He took a step forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fang Xin. "What would you like to eat today?"
Fang Xin pretended to think for a while, "Anything is fine, brother, do you want to cook today?"
Xu Shi'an lowered his eyes and smiled, "Okay."
The time seemed to be accelerated, and soon it was two days before New Year's Eve. Fang Xin had not joined the crew since his vacation, and he had been recuperating for nearly a month due to an injury.
Xu Shi'an sometimes went out early and came back late, but as long as he was at Xu's house, he would come back every day. Sometimes he would come back early and she would even cook for him.
His cooking skills are no longer limited to making soup. Making soup is easy for Xu Shian. He has also tried to learn many cooking skills, and his favorite dishes are always on the table every day.
Seeing the warm atmosphere between the two, An Mei sometimes couldn't bear to disturb them and wished she could take Xu Shijie out to live with her every day.
Fang Xin knew what An Mei was thinking. On the eve of New Year's Eve, he sat on the swing in the garden. The view from Xu's house was wide, and he could see many stars that could not be seen from the city center.
Xu Shi'an came back late today and saw a bored man sitting on the swing.
"It's windy, wear this." He took off his warm coat and covered Fang Xin with it.
Fang Xin pulled his coat back and sniffed, "I'm waiting for you."
Xu Shi'an seemed to be stunned by these words for a moment. Seeing him sitting some distance away from him in an unnatural manner, Fang Xin continued to smile.
"Why are you sitting so far away? Come over here, I'll share some of the heat with you." Fang Xin patted the seat beside him.
The other party paused and said, "No, I'm not cold."
Ever since Xu Shi'an expressed his feelings, Fang Xin had never shown any kindness to him. They had just always treated each other as brothers, and Xu Shi'an also doted on him. Since Fang Xin didn't like him, he would just accompany him silently.
What surprised Fang Xin was that one time when Mo Chai came to see him, Xu Shi'an happened to come home early that day. When he saw the others, his expression was the same as usual. He even asked if Mo Chai wanted to stay for dinner.
The only one was Mo Chai. He had an indifferent look on his face. He stayed beside them and didn't leave. Even when it was time for dinner, he didn't say much. He looked like he wanted to leave in a hurry.
Fang Xin was confused, so he asked tentatively, "Brother, do you hate Mo Chai?"
This name doesn't sound good when it comes out of his mouth. Xu Shi'an thought so, but his expression was restrained. "No."
"Then why are you unfriendly to him? If you are upset because of what I said in the ward last time, I apologize on his behalf and on yours."
Xu Shian said nothing. He stroked the watch on his wrist and said, "You don't have to apologize for him. What he said at the time was also true."
Fang Xin was even more confused, "Then why?"
It was a bit incongruous for Xu Shi'an to say the word "sense of crisis". Xu Shi'an hesitated for a long time, and felt that the night wind was even colder. He interrupted Fang Xin's question and said, "Let's go in first. It's a bit chilly."
Fang Xin insisted, "If you don't tell me, I won't go in."
Xu Shi'an was silent again. After a while, the cool breeze became stronger and Fang Xin coughed a few times.
"I know you like him."
"?"
These words made both of them sit on the swing and unable to move. Fang Xin tried hard to understand what Xu Shi'an said. He looked at Xu Shi'an who was hesitant to make a statement.
Xu Shian felt extremely uncomfortable being stared at. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he stood up and walked inside. "I'm going back. You come in earlier."
After taking only two steps, Fang Xin's refreshing laughter came from behind. It didn't sound like a mockery, but it made Xu Shi'an's ears red.
"Brother! Wait for me!" Fang Xin stood up and trotted over. When he was about to reach Xu Shi'an, he tripped over something and bumped into him.
Hearing the footsteps, Xu Shi'an slowed down his pace, and just as he turned around, he felt a gust of fragrant wind coming towards him.
He subconsciously reached out to catch Fang Xin who was about to fall, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Fang Xin stood up straight and patted his chest, "Phew~ That was a close call."
Xu Shiyu recalled the warmth and soft body in his hand, twirled his fingertips and returned his hand to its original position, "Be careful when you walk."
Seeing the serious look, Fang Xin couldn't help but smile. He deliberately stepped forward and said, "With you here, I won't be so careful."
The pleasant voice echoed in his ears, and Xu Shi'an was stunned again and again. He watched Fang Xin go in excitedly, leaving him alone there, his heart moved by his words.
After so long, he still feels moved.
His Adam's apple rolled, his eyes were hot and affectionate, he asked himself, are you willing? Are you willing to let Fang Xin go her separate ways from now on, and watch him be sweet with someone else?
He was definitely unwilling, but he had no choice. What if Fang Xin didn't like him?
He couldn't do anything about it; he couldn't keep anyone by his side.
I really like Fang Xin and don’t want him to look at other people, nor do I want him to be snatched away by others.
But after the last kidnapping, he could no longer bear to see Fang Xin get hurt, and he would feel heartbroken if he saw even a drop of blood.
As soon as he walked into the house, Fang Xin looked at him at the entrance of the stairs and smiled sweetly, "Happy New Year, brother."
Forget it, if Fang Xin can be happy, my pain doesn’t matter.
The watch showed past twelve o'clock, and he strolled upstairs. Fang Xin was at the other end of the stairs.
"Rest early, you can go back to work after the New Year."
Fang Xin nodded. He looked at Xu Shi'an's disappearing figure before returning to his room and called out, "Brother."
Xu Shi'an walked over without any hesitation, looking at her and asking what was wrong.
"Actually, I don't like Mo Chai." Fang Xin lowered his head, "It's just a good impression, but not love."
Xu Shi'an's eyes were somewhat shocked. He took a step forward and said, "Then I..."
The person in front of him raised his head and warned him to step back, "I don't have anyone I like right now, I also need to look for someone."
After receiving the warning look, Xu Shi'an took a step back and looked at Fang Xin eagerly, "So what do you like?"
Fang Xin's eyes rolled, and she began to think, "I like people who are nice to me, who can cook for me, who can buy me snacks, and who can protect me."
Xu Shi'an's eyes lit up and he was about to speak, but Fang Xin continued, "But, brother, you rejected me many times before."
In an instant, Xu Shi'an was like a frost-bitten eggplant, standing at the door without saying a word and not daring to move.
His hopes were dashed. If he had an animal form, Shi Yan would probably be a wolf with drooping ears. He was angry at himself for being like that.
"Is it okay for me to reject you once?"
An Mei found out about this the next day. Maybe Shi'an was at a loss. He seldom asked for help from others, and after he knew that he liked Fang Xin, he never took the initiative to ask for help.
This was the first time that he felt at a loss. People who are still new to relationships always have unclear thoughts.
An Mei smiled meaningfully, "Those in power are confused. I'm talking about you."
Xu Shi'an was puzzled, and An Mei was disappointed that they could not make it. "Xinxin pursued you relentlessly, but you were unmoved and even pushed her away. Ask yourself this."
"Now you're pestering him every day to show your affection, cooking for him and making soup for him. When has he ever been annoyed by you and pushed you away? He only rejected you once. If you back down because of that one rejection, then all the grievances Xinxin has suffered before would have been in vain."
As someone who can see the overall situation, Xu Shi'an suddenly realized that if he really backed down because of a rejection, Fang Xin would definitely not like him.
It was just a one-time rejection. When a business fails, I am always determined to turn it around again, but when it comes to love, I become timid and shrink back.
"I understand. Thanks, Mom!"
