chapter 46

But today, Huo Xichen found that this trick didn't seem to work very well. No matter how softly he looked at her, she still pushed him away resolutely, then turned around and turned on the light.

There is floor heating in the apartment, which has been on 24 hours a day since winter started in December.

The room was warm as spring, so she took off her coat and hung it in the closet at the entrance.

When she left the banquet, she had already changed into casual clothes in the box. This time she wore a thin long sweater and a pair of leggings under her coat.

She walked to the kitchen, made two cups of coffee, and placed them on the bar. Then she patted the bar chair and motioned for him to sit over, while she walked around the bar and sat directly opposite.

Huo Xichen sighed and could only change into his slippers, hang up his coat and sit down.

He thought she wanted to talk about the "last time" incident, but when she opened her mouth, he was a little startled.

"You turned down the opportunity to be an exchange student abroad in the spring?"

Huo Xichen knew that if she could ask this, she must have already known it, so he didn't hide it and nodded.

She looked at him and asked the key point: "Why?"

"No reason." He held up the coffee, lowered his head to take a sip, and fluttered his long eyelashes twice, "I just don't think it's interesting, so I don't want to go."

Jiang Weicheng looked at him: "If you have no intention of going there, how did you get this opportunity?"

She asked Qu Sien about the university's information. It had a very innovative teaching model in psychology and also recorded many real cases for study and discussion.

Psychology is more common abroad and the professors have more experience. This is a rare and good opportunity.

And such an opportunity cannot fall on anyone casually without going through a recommendation interview.

Regardless of why he doesn't want to go now, he definitely wanted to go.

Huo Xichen was obviously agitated by the question. He raised his eyes and looked at her: "Who did you listen to about this matter? Don't just listen to other people's nonsense. I refused because I really didn't want to go. I've only been in S for more than half a year.

If I wanted to study abroad, why did I have to work so hard to get in?"

"It's just an exchange student, only for a year and a half."

Just a year and a half?

He sneered in his heart. One and a half years, more than five hundred days, half a world away, too many things would happen in the meantime.

He didn't want to admit it, but he really had no confidence in himself. He couldn't imagine that if they were separated for a full year and a half, she would still be waiting for him when he came back.

Based on her conditions, how many suitors will appear in this year and a half.

Such things, even just imagining them, would make him suffocate.

What's more, he can't leave her for too long now. He is like a thirsty fish. If he stays away from the water for too long, his body will dry out, his breathing will be cut off, and he will return to the water at all costs.

She is his water, he can't live without her.

Thinking like this, his heart began to feel empty again. Even if she was sitting opposite him, he still felt that the distance was too far.

He stood up in silence, walked around the bar to her side, hugged her whole into his arms, and held her tightly. Only then did his anxious heart settle down a little.

She could sense some of the reasons, so she let him hold her and relaxed her body in his arms: "Xiaochen, I won't ask more questions, I just want to ask you one thing. Why did you choose to study in the Department of Psychology in the first place? You had no choice.

Art Department?”

"Don't ask, I just don't want to go." He frowned, held her face, lowered his head and bent over to kiss her. It seemed that as long as he blocked her mouth like this, he no longer had to listen to her saying that he didn't want to go.

It's a matter of listening.

Such a childish way of escaping made her frown. She could accept that he didn't like the psychology department so he didn't study abroad, but she couldn't accept that he refused because he didn't want to leave her.

A person should not rely on another person for his entire life.

Maybe he doesn't want to leave now and thinks she is more important, so he stays for her, but life doesn't happen overnight.

In the end, all romantic passion will return to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. If they start to regret it at that time, how will they face the future of their lives?

Emotions that are blindly accommodating will not last long. While respecting and loving the other person, you must also love yourself well and plan your life carefully, instead of always compromising and always focusing on the other person.

But now, he seemed to be completely unable to listen to her words. He didn't even give her a chance to speak. He blocked her lips and even started to lift her collar, trying to divert her in this way.

"Xiao Chen..." She pushed him away again, "Can't you talk to me properly?"

"What's there to talk about?" He became more and more anxious, "I rarely come back on weekends, can't you just stay with me? Why do you have to talk? I know you don't care at all! I'm here, or I'm going

On the other side of the world, there is no difference at all to you, right?"

She looked at him in astonishment: "What are you talking about?"

say what?

He always knew that he was just a love affair to her. If it wasn't him, there would be someone else. He was never irreplaceable. But to him, she was the only one.

However, he still couldn't say any of these words at this moment, as if he was afraid that if he missed even half a sentence, she would make these words come true.

He felt aggrieved: "Does it matter whether I go to study abroad or not? Do you like me or not?"

"It's because I like you that I want to have a good talk with you." She frowned and looked at him, wondering why he just said those words. She had been with him for more than half a year, but he was still doubting it.

Does she like him or not?

Jiang Weicheng felt like her heart was being blocked. She looked at the young face in front of her and sighed softly: "Forget it, since we can't continue talking today, let's stop here. You should calm down.

, think about it, think it over clearly, then talk to me. I'm tired, let's go rest first."

Huo Xichen could tell that she was a little angry. If it were for other things, he could coax her or agree to all her requests without any bottom line. But once his attitude softened on this matter, studying abroad would be inevitable.

He didn't want to, so he held on, and when she got up and went back to the room, he still stood motionless.

****

He thought that as long as he waited for two days and she was no longer angry, the matter would be over.

But he kept silent about the change of life, and she ignored him.

During the two weekend days, the apartment was quiet and quiet.

Under the same roof, he could see but not touch him every day, which made Huo Xichen feel uncomfortable all over.

She probably also knew that the few times he leaned over for a kiss or a hug without saying a word, and when he directly revealed the matter, she would let him kiss and hug her, and then she would look up at him and ask

Is he ready to talk?

She seemed to be telling him in this way that it was impossible to expose this matter in a daze.

The two sides turned into a tug-of-war, and the weekend passed like this.

On Monday morning, Jiang Weicheng got up more than an hour early as usual. After getting ready, he planned to send him to school. He stood at the entrance and looked back at her, and finally said that he could just go to school and she didn't need to send him to school.

Jiang Weicheng glanced at him after hearing this, and the two looked at each other quietly for a moment. She calmed her expression and nodded: "Okay, then you can go on your own."

With that said, she took off her coat again and sat at the design table, planning to use the free hour to work for a while.

Huo Xichen:......

He didn't expect that she didn't even ask a question and just agreed not to give it away.

For more than half a year, regardless of wind or rain, she would get up early every Monday, go to have breakfast with him, then send him to school, and finally let him kiss her in the car until she was out of breath...

Huo Xichen suddenly felt so regretful. He couldn't understand why he said she didn't need to send it as a gift! She had already put on her clothes and planned to leave. Even if the two of them didn't talk, it would be nice to have breakfast together and see her for a while.

When we get to the school gate, whether she wants it or not, just hold her and kiss her!

He stood at the door, feeling that his feet were weighing a thousand pounds, and he was unwilling to take a step forward. He looked in the direction of the living room and said in a stiff voice: "Then I'm leaving -"

"Hmm." A word floated over there, and it seemed like it was not there.

Feeling inexplicably angry and aggrieved, he picked up his schoolbag, opened the door and left.

This time, he will never bow his head first.

*****

In this way, the tug of war turned into a cold war.

For two days in a row, Jiang Weicheng's personal phone number was as quiet as a chicken.

Not many people know this mobile phone number. Apart from Su Tao, her cousin, uncle, aunt, and others, there are only a few close friends who occasionally look for her.

Most of the other time, there were various messages from Huo Xichen, coquettish sweet words, all kinds of cute pictures. After breaking through the last line of defense before, there were many more romantic words that made people blush and heartbeat.

On Wednesday, she went to Yaren as usual. As soon as she stepped into the company, she was attracted by a large bouquet of roses at the front desk.

After that, throughout the day, all kinds of flowers, chocolates, and gifts were signed and received at the front desk. The female employees of the company were all smiling when they received the gifts, and if they didn't, they secretly cursed them for being cruel.

Jiang Weicheng was very busy during the day. Guan Yuqing bought lunch and ate it in the office. He never noticed the special situation of the company today.

When it was almost time to get off work, Guan Yuqing called the internal phone and asked her if she was going to get off work on time today.

"No, I haven't finished my work yet." She said, noticing something strange about Guan Yuqing, "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong today?"

Guan Yuqing was a little embarrassed and didn't say much. She just said that she had an appointment with someone today and wanted to get off work on time.

Jiang Weicheng raised her hand and looked at the time. It was still ten minutes before get off work. Thinking that there was nothing particularly important for her to do, she asked Guan Yuqing to get off work.

After that, she went back to work again.

When she finished all her work and stood up to loosen her neck and wrists, she realized that night had fallen outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and the city lights were twinkling.
