Yuan Xi didn't even change out of her pajamas. She just put on a coat and went to the basketball court next to the park.
The lights in the basketball court are very bright.
Yuan Xi walked over to Fu Qin and sat down, looking at Huo Shiyan playing basketball on the court. Under the bright lights, Huo Shiyan seemed even more handsome.
Fu Qin looked at Yuan Xi and smiled, "I never thought that there would be people who think Huo Shiyan is childish."
"When he was a child, he was brought up by four elders. From the moment he was born, Huo Shiyan was trained by the two elders of the Huo and Shi families as a successor. The word childish has nothing to do with him."
Yuan Xi said: "It's just childish."
"Time delay!"
Huo Shiyan did not pass the ball to Xu Zhou who was on the same team as him, but passed it to Wen Zhuo.
Xu Zhou shouted in frustration.
Huo Shiyan said: "No more playing."
Seeing that the court had stopped, Yuan Xi took a bottle of mineral water from Fu Qin and walked over.
"Oh! No wonder you stopped playing, it turns out that sister Xiaoxi is here."
"Today I finally got to see Sister Xiaoxi up close and personal."
Among the people playing ball, Yuan Xi saw a few young men who looked familiar to her, but she had forgotten their names. She could only greet them with a faint smile.
Yuan Xi handed the mineral water bottle to Huo Shiyan and said, "Here."
Seeing that Yuan Xi's hair was still a little wet, Huo Shiyan took a sip of the mineral water, then walked to the chair where clothes were placed, took out his coat and put it on Yuan Xi's head.
Huo Shiyan said to the players, "We're leaving first."
Yuan Xi had Huo Shiyan's jacket on her head. She took a few steps and was about to take the jacket off. "Why did you throw the jacket on my head?"
Huo Shiyan said, "You came out without drying your hair? The temperature difference between day and night is huge at this time of year. It's still very cold when the wind blows at night. You just gave birth to a child less than three months ago. Aren't you afraid of leaving a root cause of illness?"
Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "I've already blown it up. Seeing that you haven't been home for a long time, I saw that Fu Qin sent a video of you playing basketball, so I came to see you."
"I haven't seen you play basketball yet."
"I never thought that after I graduated, I would still be able to deliver water to basketball players one day."
Huo Shiyan still had the mineral water that Yuan Xi had brought over in his hand. He took another sip and said, "You can call me if you want me to come home in the future."
Yuan Xi said: "I was afraid that you were busy with something. After all, you didn't reply to my message when I sent you photos of Lele and An'an."
Huo Shiyan said: "If you send me your photo, I will definitely pay attention to you. I don't want to use An An Le Le to mediate when we are still in conflict."
Yuan Xi said: "You are the one who is in conflict with me unilaterally, I don't have any."
Huo Shiyan placed his hand on Yuan Xi's shoulder and sighed deeply: "What do you want me to do so that you can love me a little more, instead of just saying the word divorce casually and being willing to let me go."
Yuan Xi said: "I don't know what to do to make you understand that I love you. If I didn't love you, I wouldn't take an economy class flight to the capital to find you early in the morning. I didn't bring anything but my ID card and cell phone..."
Huo Shiyan said: "To truly love someone is not to think clearly about all the ways out, nor to divorce or let go."
Yuan Xi said: "Huo Shiyan, everything is hypothetical. If you like someone else, why would I still pester you? Are you asking for trouble? What you said is based on the assumption that you like someone else. If you don't like someone else, I will never divorce you.
I grew up in a happy family, and I definitely hope our children grow up in a happy family. Can you stop being so insecure? Why do you have to hold on to this assumption? "
Huo Shiyan said: "I only know that if you fall in love with someone else and have to leave me, I will feel suffocated just thinking about it, instead of being able to calmly consider divorce and child custody issues. The reason you can be so calm and sober is because you don't love me at all. You said I don't feel safe, have you ever given me a sense of security?" "It has been like this since I was a child, Yuan Xi, to you, I am not an insignificant person in your world. Every time I leave Jiangcheng and return to A City, I am the only one who is sad!"
"Just like what Shi Lei said about the time you had your tooth pulled, you went home happily, not caring at all how disappointed you were that I was leaving you!"
"I just ask you to care about me a little more, okay? Even if you don't love me, can you pretend to love me a little?"
Yuan Xi listened to Huo Shiyan's words and frowned, "I just love you. If you don't believe me, forget it. My tooth still hurts badly. So many things happened today. If you insist on quarreling with me today, I can't help it. But I don't want to quarrel with you, and I don't want to quarrel with you in front of An An Le Le when I go home. If you are so upset today, I can live in the company and come back when you calm down."
Huo Shiyan grabbed Yuan Xi's wrist, held her in his arms, lowered his head and bit Yuan Xi's red lips.
Yuan Xi grunted and tried to push Huo Shiyan away but failed.
She was afraid that someone would pass by and see it, so she took a bite of Huo Shiyan and said, “I think you really need to calm down!”
"I have a toothache, and I've been driving for so many hours. I really don't have any energy to argue with you right now."
Yuan Xi shook off Huo Shiyan's hand and returned home.
I found the medicine box and took a painkiller.
After a long time without pain relief, she discovered that it was the sustained-release capsules.
Yuan Xi went to the cloakroom to change clothes, and said to Huo Shiyan: "There is a morning meeting tomorrow. I don't want to stay at home and quarrel with you. I'm going to sleep in the company."
Yuan Xi thought that he still had to buy a house of his own near the company in City A.
Huo Shiyan said that she didn't love him. She gave up everything in Jiangcheng for him.
Does this still mean you don’t love him?
Yuan Xi himself felt aggrieved.
Just before graduation, she had thought about coming to City A to work hard, but she was reluctant to leave everything in Jiangcheng, and just happened to receive the opportunity thrown by Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi was born and raised in Jiangcheng. She thought she would never leave Jiangcheng. Now she comes to A City, a strange city. Although the dialect of A City is very similar to that of Jiangcheng, there are also many differences.
Huo Shiyan's social circle was everything new to Yuan Xi, and the more Yuan Xi thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
Huo Shiyan watched Yuan Xi dressed up and ready to go out. He stepped forward and held Yuan Xi's wrist, "I'll take you to the company."
After Yuan Xi got into Huo Shiyan's car, she fell asleep in the passenger seat.
When she woke up in a daze, she found herself on the top of a mountain. There were no mountains in City A, but this mountain...
Yuan Xi glanced at his cell phone, but there was no signal. He could only see that the time was two o'clock in the morning.
They were the only car on the mountain, and Huo Shiyan was sitting in the main driver's seat.
Yuan Xi pushed Huo Shiyan and said, "Where did you bring me to? Where is this?"
Yuan Xi was not afraid of what Huo Shiyan would do to her: "Shiyan, there is a meeting tomorrow morning."
Huo Shiyan opened his eyes and said, "By the lake."
Yuan Xi: “…”
She finally got back to City A after a four-hour drive through a traffic jam, and he brought her back to Jiangcheng. (End of this chapter)
