The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 287 Breaking the Window Paper

At around nine o'clock in the evening, in the small bathroom, the warm yellow lights accompanied by the sound of the heater reflected the dense mist floating in the bathroom.

Two beautiful bodies were submerged in the hot water at a comfortable temperature, and four white, tender and well-proportioned long legs crossed under the water.

Yu Youjia and Xu Niannian sat down in the bathtub facing each other, only their snow-white round shoulders were exposed, the hot water was rippling, and the waves were undulating in the delicate collarbone, like the shallows on the seashore.

It was rare for the two girls to take a bath together like this. As soon as Xu Niannian sat in the hot water of the bathtub, the tiredness in his body signaled its decline, and one couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

It seems that even the exhaustion in the deepest part of the body has been evaporated.

Xu Niannian tilted his head back, even his snowy shoulders and collarbone were completely submerged in the hot water, and the back of his head was leaning against the edge of the bathtub, just being cushioned by the towel wrapped around his long hair.

In the middle of the bathtub, Yu Youjia placed a wooden table of suitable size, placed the specially prepared fruit snacks on it, and poured a small glass of red wine for the two of them.

Then take out one of the aroma diffusers prepared by the side and light it up, and all the preparations for taking a bath are done.

The bathtub in her home has a constant temperature function, and the heater in the bathroom is enough for them to soak in it for a long time.

Except that the space is relatively crowded, it is no different from some hot springs.

Usually, she and Zhou Jing are too tired to go to work, so they will soak in this way once, which is very comfortable.

"You have so many tricks." Xu Niannian glanced at the lit aromatherapy beside him, couldn't help but smacked his lips, picked a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, "I really enjoy it."

"Life, there must always be a sense of ritual." Yu Youjia said with a smile, "Otherwise you will go to work, eat, drink and sleep every day, and life will be forgotten at a glance. How boring."

"I really want a life that can be forgotten at a glance." Xu Niannian pursed his lips, spat out the grape seeds into the plate, and there was melancholy in his eyes, "It's a pity that I can't see anything. .”

"Can't see anything, what do you mean?" Yu Youjia asked knowingly.

Listening to her questioning, Xu Niannian looked hesitant, and finally lowered his head, his mouth was submerged in the water, and he was gurgling, not wanting to talk anymore.

Seeing her like this, Yu Youjia really didn't know what to say.

She wanted to tell Xu Niannian the truth, but she was also afraid that Xu Niannian's mental state would experience unpredictable problems after the beautiful bubble was punctured.

But this kind of thing, as expected, should be broken as soon as possible. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, right?
It is impossible to pray that Xu Xing and Yan Chijiu will break up on their own initiative.

Thinking of this, Yu Youjia sighed, and after thinking for a moment, he still asked tentatively: "Then if you haven't confessed the situation to Xu Xing, and then Xu Xing found a girlfriend and fell in love, what would you do?" manage?"

Xu Niannian: "..."

As soon as these words came out, they immediately pierced Xu Niannian's heart like a thorn.

Don't say what if, this has already happened... Xu Niannian pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.

In the end, she simply picked up two grapes, stuffed them into Yu Youjia's mouth, and said, "You should say less and eat more fruit."

"Aren't I thinking about you?" Yu Youjia chewed on the grapes and continued, "You asked you a question and you haven't answered it yet. If this is the case, what can you do?"

"Falling in love is not the same as getting married..." Xu Niannian said in a low voice, turning his head away.

"..." Yu Youjia was speechless when he heard this, "Could it be possible for you to wait for someone to fall in love before breaking up? You can bear this? You won't die if you take the initiative."

"Don't talk about it..." Xu Niannian said weakly, "It's really like what you said, I can't break up people, as if I'm so bad."

"Oh... that's right." Yu Youjia swung her underwater legs a few times, creating ripples, and picked up two more grapes, one for herself, and one for Xu Niannian. .

If Xu Xing and Yan Chi were in love with each other, if they were in love with each other, what else could Xu Niannian do?

Yu Youjia didn't know either.

But if Xu Niannian really wants to accept the reality and stay away from Xu Xing, and give up this relationship, Yu Youjia really can't say it.

The two girls fell silent for a moment, as if they were just enjoying the temperature of the bath.

Xu Niannian picked up the red wine glass and touched Yu Youjia lightly. The slightly cool red wine fell down her throat along her lips and teeth, and her eyes became blurred.

The two of them didn't soak for too long, about 10 minutes or so, after finishing a plate of fruit, Xu Niannian drank three glasses of red wine in total, and his head was already a little tipsy.

After standing up from the bathtub, she sat beside the bathtub for half a minute before she came out and rinsed with Yu Youjia.

After changing into pajamas, walking out of the bathroom and coming to the room, Xu Niannian threw himself on the bed and covered him with the quilt, he just wanted to close his eyes and go to sleep quickly, without thinking about anything.

"Sleep now? It's not even ten o'clock."

Yu Youjia got into bed from the other side, leaning against the bedside with her mobile phone, she was sending Zhou Jing a wechat message, and by the way, she sent a circle of friends to share how she felt about taking a bath tonight.

At this time, Xu Niannian's phone vibrated a few times.

Yu Youjia glanced subconsciously, and saw Xu Niannian who had closed his eyes as if preparing to sleep, suddenly came back to life, picked up his mobile phone and opened it.

Sure enough, it was a WeChat message from Xu Xing.

[Xu Xing]: Where are you?Didn't you leave work early, why haven't you come back yet?

Seeing the news, Xu Niannian immediately pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't want to.

[Xu Niannian]: I won't be back today.

[Xu Xing]: Where are you now?

[Xu Niannian]: With Jiajia, stay at her side at night.

[Xu Xing]: Got it, remember to say it earlier next time.

[Xu Niannian]: You want to take care of it?
I don't know why, Xu Niannian got a little tempered for no reason, and replied this sentence.

[Xu Xing]: Of course I should take care of it, as I have clearly said before.

Seeing these words in Xu Niannian's eyes, her heart suddenly trembled again.

Yu Youjia came over curiously and wanted to see it, but Xu Niannian quickly covered the phone screen, hid beside the bed so that she would not see it, and then sent a message to Xu Xing.

[Xu Niannian]: Scumbag!Pooh!

"Who are you chatting with?" Yu Youjia asked, but he knew who it was after thinking about it, "Can't even look at it?"

"No." Xu Niannian whispered, and stuffed the phone under the pillow, so he didn't have the nerve to show it to Yu Youjia.

She felt aggrieved, thinking of the thunderbolt from the blue sky during the Chinese New Year, she still remembers it vividly until now, and there is no one around her to confide in, so she is embarrassed to tell Yu Youjia such a shameful thing.

But the next second, she was a little stunned.

"I think it's better to tell you clearly about one thing." Yu Youjia watched her look like this just by sending a few messages on WeChat with Xu Xing, and finally couldn't hold back, "Just today In the evening, do you know what I saw in Xu Xing's office?"

"Ah?" Xu Niannian was taken aback for a moment, wondering what's interesting in Xu Xing's office.

But when he thinks that vinegar is Xu Xing's secretary now, Xu Niannian's face pales suddenly, and many guesses pop up in his mind, each of which is uncomfortable and tangled.

At this time, Yu Youjia didn't want to hide anything anymore, she stared at Xu Niannian, and said bluntly: "I saw Xu Xing hugging and kissing."

These words were as harsh as a sharp knife, although Yu Youjia couldn't bear it, but as a best friend, she really couldn't hide this kind of thing for Xu Xing without hiding it from Nian Nian.

In her imagination, if Xu Niannian didn't believe or was emotional, at least now that Xu Niannian was brought home by her, it would be relatively easy to control.

While staying away from the company and Xu Xing, Yu Youjia is still sure to control Xu Niannian's emotions so that she won't do anything stupid.

But what she didn't expect was that after Xu Niannian heard what she said, although there was unconcealable sadness and depression on Xu Niannian's face, there seemed to be no expression of shock or disbelief.

What do you mean?
"Did you not hear clearly?" Yu Youjia was a little puzzled by her reaction, "I said, Xu Xing and Jiujiu are in the office today..."

"Stop talking..." Xu Niannian covered her mouth, lowered his head, depressed, and said in a low voice, "I know everything."

"What...you know what it means?" Yu Youjia was completely confused by Xu Niannian, "No...you already knew about it? Then why..."

"Oh... let's not talk about this, shall we?"

"No, you should tell me clearly." Yu Youjia's mind was a little messed up, "What do you mean you know it all? When did you know it? Could it be that they have been together for a long time?"

"Hmm..." Xu Niannian seemed to be tearing open the wound again, his voice was a little hoarse, "It seems that we were together on the National Day last year..."

"...so early?" Yu Youjia opened his mouth, his face full of disbelief, "How is it possible that they kept it a secret? Or did you know it at that time."

Xu Niannian shook his head, remained silent for a while, and then told Yu Youjia: "I found out during the Chinese New Year...Actually... During the Chinese New Year, I confessed my love..."

Hearing this, Yu Youjia was completely silent.

Don't know what to say further.

She thought the reality was cruel enough, but unexpectedly, Xu Niannian's experience seemed to be much crueler.

It was only after confessing that she realized that the person she had a crush on already had an owner. When this kind of thing happened to Xu Niannian, Yu Youjia felt so painful that she couldn't breathe just by imagining it.

Especially when she recalled the clips and pictures of the past, when Xu Niannian was in the dormitory, hiding under the quilt, quietly telling her the secret in his heart.

At that time, Xu Niannian had shyness and anticipation on his face, and his eyes were full of expectations for the future, even with joy.

If at that time, as a best friend, I could be more decisive and help push the flames...

Yu Youjia bit her lip, wishing she could travel back in the time machine.

"But, it's not right..." Yu Youjia changed his mind and asked quickly, "Then you already know, why do you still live with them?"

When this was mentioned, Xu Niannian felt a little ashamed. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look into Yu Youjia's eyes, as if he was a helpless child who had done something wrong.

"I don't know... I've lived here, I paid the rent..."

Is this horse riding a rent issue... Yu Youjia couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This was obviously Xu Niannian's reluctance, but because of Xu Xing's jealous relationship, he couldn't do anything.

Seeing her tangled appearance, Yu Youjia couldn't stand it any longer, and tried to suggest: "Why don't we just forget about it. Although Xu Xing is excellent, we don't want to hang himself on a tree."

Xu Niannian shook his head, unable to imagine that he would accept another person.

She never thought about this kind of thing.

"And even if you don't think about other things." Yu Youjia sighed, but she didn't force her, but she just said persuasively, "We don't need to be rigid, who said that women must find men? It's fun to live alone Ah, it's not like you can't support yourself."

"Of course I know..." Xu Niannian's eyes flickered, he felt a little guilty, and didn't know how to explain it to Yu Youjia.

And at this moment, Xu Xing sent another wechat message, and Xu Niannian's phone under the pillow vibrated a few times.

Yu Youjia and Xu Niannian looked at each other.

Xu Niannian laughed awkwardly, and silently took out the phone.

"Give me a look?" Yu Youjia squinted at her, a bit resentful that iron could not be made into steel.

"Don't..." Xu Niannian hastily turned his back, not to show her.

[Xu Xing]: Sometimes I also wonder whether being a scumbag can lead to a happy ending, but it seems that there is a dead end wherever I go.

Seeing these words, Xu Niannian's heart skipped a beat, and the embarrassment and regret entangled in his heart were like seeds in a dark and damp place, uncontrollably breeding different thoughts.

[Xu Niannian]: Vinegar is a good girl.

【Xu Xing】: It's the same every year.

[Xu Niannian]: Then there are many good girls, do you still want to go over one by one?

Refuting Xu Xing's thoughts, Xu Niannian pursed his lips, as if he was looking for reasons one after another for himself, so as to block the germination of the dark seed in his heart.

【Xu Xing】: You are different.

Those five short words touched Xu Niannian's heart.

Obviously these are ordinary and ordinary words, but when spoken from a specific population, everything becomes meaningful.

But even Xu Niannian at this time could not fully understand the full meaning of Xu Xing's words.

That is the helplessness and nostalgia from the reborn.

Missing the next ten years, the still silly Xu Niannian in the future.

[Xu Niannian]: Don't talk about it, it's easy to think wildly at night, go to bed early.

Xu Niannian cruelly turned off the phone completely, and stuffed it under the pillow again.

Yu Youjia was behind her, unable to see the content of the chat on WeChat, she could only say quietly: "You are really hopeless, it's all like this, do you still want to be obsessed with it?"

Xu Niannian pursed his lips, his hair hanging down on his chest.

She turned around, her eyes were shining brightly, and she said eagerly, "Jiajia...you, you said...if I go to find jealousy...well...that's...that...do you think... "

Listening to what Xu Niannian said, Yu Youjia looked at her quietly, with some pity in her eyes, and sighed: "You are really crazy."

"I'm not crazy."

"Go to sleep, and when you wake up, you may not think so much."

"But, I really..."

"Enough! You..." Yu Youjia stopped her thoughts loudly, but when she looked up again, she realized that Xu Niannian in front of her had already burst into tears.

Four clear tear streaks slid down, biting his lips with all his strength to keep silent, his hands clutching his knees, his whole shoulders were twitching.

Yu Youjia turned her head, unable to bear to watch this scene, hugged her tightly, softened her tone, and tapped her on the back lightly: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, go to sleep first, Let's not talk about it."
