686 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World Thirteen, He also has a twin brother (45)
byAfter the Waking of Insects, the spring thunder begins, and it is the time of year when all things revive.
Xue Xue took the time to clean the house.
Guabao is a cat that doesn’t shed much. She usually only needs to use a vacuum cleaner to keep her house clean. But after she really rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find things and rearrange them, she discovered that the child had left her own footprints in every corner.
“You are so naughty.” Xue Xue picked up the cute baby who was rubbing against his lap.”I shouldn’t call you Good Baby, I should call you Stinky Baby.”
“Meow!”
The little boy howled in protest.
Xue Xue stroked its fur helplessly.
“You have such a bad temper, I can’t stand you.”
Although he said this, Xue Xue knew that the significance of Guobao’s existence to him was like an oil lamp lit by a lost traveler in the dark. It may not be able to guide the direction, but it can calm people down.
Fortunately, all the hardships have finally come to an end and everything is moving in the right direction.
A year ago…
Xue Xue shook his head and didn’t want to think about it anymore.
“You want to leave?”
“Yeah.”
“Why?” Xue Xue was stunned and asked blankly: “Didn’t Sister Chen just say that she would promote you to be a deputy store? How…”
“It’s not because of work.” Chen Xueliang shook his head with a smile.”If I really want to say it, consider it my own career plan.”
“Huh?”
“I plan to go back to study. It doesn’t seem right to say that. I should say that I want to study design.” Chen Xueliang explained: “My mother is now running a jewelry-related business abroad. She learned that I was interested in this field and suggested that I try it. How many days did I take some time off? I just went to take the exam.”
“The results just came out last week. Fortunately, I got a spot.”
Chen Xueliang’s tone was unabashedly happy
Xue Xue blinked.
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you.” Seeing Xue Xue’s expression of hesitation, Chen Xueliang turned his head and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Xue Xue paused.”It’s you and your mother…”
Although he didn’t finish his words, Chen Xueliang understood it all at once.
“I haven’t forgiven her, but actually, there’s no such thing as forgiveness.” She shrugged.”When I was young and full of energy, I felt hate, and I just feel uncomfortable when I think about it, but how can I put it…”
“Later I realized that wasting time and energy hating her because she felt uncomfortable was actually very pointless.”
“Just like my goddam ex-boyfriend.”
Xue Xue was startled.
“So I let her go and let myself go.” Chen Xueliang suddenly smiled.”Now that she wants to make it up to me, what reason do I have for not accepting it?”
She added softly: “It’s what I deserve.”
These words may sound free and easy at first, but they are insights gained after accumulating many disappointments.
Xue Xue also felt that this decision was quite right. After all, the trouble caused by Chen Xueliang’s ex-boyfriend may still bother her to this day. Changing her life in a different environment is undoubtedly the fastest way to solve it.
As for why she insisted on staying in Jingnan…
“When do you plan to leave?” Xue Xue asked.
“I have already mentioned it to Sister Chen. I will officially leave my job next week when a new person is hired.”
“In such a hurry? Are you going to report?”
“Well, no, I won’t leave until the end of the month.” Chen Xueliang’s tone suddenly dropped.”I made an appointment with someone to attend a wedding.”
“Wedding?” Xue Xue thought of the post Chen Yirong brought two days ago.”Is it… the building manager?”
“Yeah.”
Xue Xue looked at her.
The smile on Chen Xueliang’s face remained, but he avoided his gaze uncomfortably.
Then she understood.
Chen Xueliang left not for one reason, but for many reasons.
It’s just that she chose the most honorable way and exited without a story of her own.
“Sister Xueliang.”
Xue Xue called out, and Chen Xueliang looked up and saw her toothy smile, with shallow dimples on her cheeks, and her eyes were full of sincere blessings.
“Smooth sailing.”
On the day Wei Chinian came back, it rained very early.
When Xue Xue went out at eight o’clock, she saw that the weather was not right, so she hurriedly returned home to get an umbrella.
A drizzle of rain followed the dark clouds.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, she clocked out of get off work on time.
After dinner at a ramen shop in a shopping mall with colleagues, someone suggested going for a massage to relax. Xue Xue was going to go with him, but the phone suddenly rang.
“What’s the matter, Xue Xue?” Seeing her not moving, my colleague asked in confusion, “She’s gone.”
“Well…” Xue Xue clenched her phone unconsciously.”I just suddenly remembered that I have something else to do tonight, so I won’t go with you this time.”
“Ah? Well, then be careful on your way home.”
“I know.” Xue Xue smiled and waved.”Bye.”
She was walking in the rain holding an umbrella.
As he got closer and closer to home, Xue Xue’s heartbeat became faster and faster.
It’s timid to be close to home, and the long wait is about to end, but because time has passed so long, it feels quite unreal.
Afraid that everything is just a dream.
A dream that one would rather indulge in forever than wake up from it.
Xue Xue stopped as he tilted the umbrella handle to let the needle-thin rain strands hit his body.
She felt that she was too deeply influenced by Xue Xia.
That feeling of powerlessness, like a drowning person sinking little by little, trying to catch the driftwood but only watching the driftwood drift further and further away… will never happen again.
Xue Xue thought as he took steps again.
Life can be different.
Although no one knows the final outcome, at least it is worth fighting for.
