Chapter 4: If Love Continues (1)
What will happen if we continue to love, there is no doubt that love is faith

From a distance, I really saw Xu Yihui waiting at the door.He leaned against the parked car and looked down at his phone with a warm smile on his lips.

Sheng Xia rubbed her hands, took a deep breath, and called him: "Yi Hui."

Xu Yihui raised his head, his gaze was like water.Standing up straight, he just looked at her with a smile like this: "Come here?" This was the first time Xu Yihui saw Sheng Xia wearing business attire, a rose red high-waist skirt, black fish mouth stiletto heels, and a black shirt He wore a beige cropped blazer over his head.

He said, "You look good in that."

Sheng Xia smiled lightly, and just said: "Aren't you going to eat seafood, let's go."

After a while, the car has already arrived at the entrance of the hotel.

Huangcheng Seafood, this was Shengxia's favorite seafood restaurant in the past, and it was also the first time I ate alone with Gu Yingning here.Later, they also went there several times, even though there were only two of them, Gu Yingning would reserve a private room, and then waved his hand to ask the boss to serve all the dishes.Sheng Xia was stunned, hurriedly called the boss to stop, quickly reported the names of his favorite dishes, and greeted the boss.In fact, she also understands that Gu Yingning just doesn't like to talk too much with outsiders, so many things would rather go around in circles than waste time.

Getting off the car, Sheng Xia looked up at the four large characters on the door plaque, and a layer of desolation slowly flowed through his heart.In the end, things have changed.

Xu Yihui parked the car, walked quickly to Sheng Xia's side, and said with a smile: "A Xia, you must like today's dishes, but I told the boss early on that I want to add more ingredients."

Sheng Xia is not surprised at all, Xu Yihui is such a considerate person, he was in the past.After entering the door, she looked inside to find a suitable seat, and said with a slight smile, "Okay, as long as you don't worry about me being poor..."

The last word "you" has not been uttered, but it seems that it can only stay on the tip of the tongue forever.Because Sheng Xia saw Gu Yingning at the table ten steps away from her.

The person sitting opposite Gu Yingning, if she hadn't misread it, was Song Manru, his right-hand man all along.

He was stunned in a panic, and Sheng Xia didn't know whether to take a step forward or a step back.Xu Yihui naturally saw it too, his smile darkened, but he didn't back down.

"Mr. Gu, what a coincidence."

What surprised Sheng Xia was that Xu Yihui actually stepped forward to say hello to Gu Yingning!

Gu Yingning turned her head slightly, seeing that Xu Yihui and Sheng Xia didn't change their faces, they nodded calmly, as if they were just friends they hadn't seen for a long time: "It's a coincidence."

Song Manru naturally turned her head and saw Shengxia and Xu Yihui. She straightened the broken hair on her temples, raised a quiet smile, and said in a soft voice, "Mr. Xu, why did you bring Miss Sheng here so unremarkable?" The seafood shop!"

Sheng Xia was stunned, then his face turned pale, and he fixed his eyes on Gu Yingning, for fear of missing even a single trace of his expression.However, to her disappointment, Gu Yingning didn't react at all from the beginning to the end—the brows never furrowed, the movement of holding up the chopsticks never paused for a second, and the corners of her mouth never bent down a centimeter.

In the ear, Xu Yihui's faint smile sounded: "I can't help it, this is Axia's favorite restaurant, as long as she likes it." Sheng Xia stared at Gu Yingning's calm side face, and finally gave up, hanging down eyelids.

I laughed at myself coldly in my heart, midsummer was astringent.She really didn't hit the south wall and didn't look back. She obviously knew that he didn't care, but she was still lucky. Now that she was hit like this, she really should wake up from the dream... Thinking of this, she took two steps forward, gently and deftly. Hold Xu Yihui's arm, then looked around the empty surroundings, smiled gracefully, and said: "Yihui, although you said you have reserved a table a long time ago, it seems that this shop has been booked by Mr. Gu today, we still don't want to It's better to disturb the peace of Mr. Gu and Ms. Song."

Xu Yihui looked at the indifferent Gu Yingning and the well-dressed Song Manru, and responded with a smile: "Okay, since you don't want to, then let's go."

Before turning around, looking at Song Manru's new but very familiar hairstyle, Xu Yihui paused and said casually, "Miss Song, just be yourself.

A substitute, after all, is just a substitute, and will always be a shadow that cannot stand up. "

He said the next few words very softly, but very clearly.Although Xu Yihui looked at Song Manru and said, Yu Guang glanced at Gu Yingning on the other side as if unintentionally before turning around.

Midsummer had already left, and Xu Yihui followed her gently.Song Manru's face turned pale, and he raised his eyes in a little panic and looked straight at the person opposite him.Gu Yingning seemed to have never heard Xu Yihui's words, and held up her chopsticks as usual.However, when he put down the chopsticks, he seemed to have swept his sleeves a little too much, and only heard a "pop", and the glass fell to the ground and shattered.

He still ignored it.Wiping her mouth with a tissue, Gu Yingning said in a deep voice, "Waiter, pay the bill."

Xu Yihui felt very sorry that he didn't eat any seafood: "Ah Xia, today is really... I'll take you there next time, shall we make a reservation?"

With obvious tiredness on Sheng Xia's face, he smiled sadly: "No need, in fact, I don't like seafood as much now as I used to."

Xu Yihui's throat tightened, and he resisted the urge to hold her in his arms.The current midsummer is a midsummer that he has been absent for four years.In the past four years, what he was absent was not only time, but also her transformation.

Sensing the silence of the people beside him, Sheng Xia hurriedly turned his face and said in a little haste: "The Jiangnan snacks we ate just now are actually very good, aren't they light and delicious?"

After a moment of silence that was almost negligible, Xu Yihui smiled narrowly: "What are you doing in such a hurry, I don't blame you."

Now that they had reached the inside of the Qingcha Garden, he stopped and flipped her collar, "Look at you, it's still as rough after all these years."

She used to be like this, she always thought that her slip of the tongue hurt him and hurriedly covered it up, and sometimes she even covered it up with feigned anger.He kept smiling in his heart, at her roughness, at her thoughtfulness, at the warm love she brought to him.Unexpectedly, four years later, she would still be like this.It turns out that some things never disappear with the passage of time.

Sheng Xia was also a little embarrassed: "How can I, I have changed a lot." However, the other party was Xu Yihui, who I used to be so familiar with and relied on, so the embarrassment was only short-lived, and Sheng Xia quickly returned to normal, smiling slightly, "I have arrived , go back and rest early."

Tonight's moonlight is clear, casting a large light yellow reflection on the artificial lake not far away.The moist and dense air flows, but there is still a feeling of "the apricot blossom rain is wet on the clothes, and the willow wind is not cold on the face".

Xu Yihui stared fixedly at Midsummer, with the same smile on his face, but with a bit of seriousness: "Ah Xia, be obedient, quickly forget about that person, I'll wait for you." He is not blind, and tonight her He could clearly see the bleakness and absence.She is right, she has indeed changed a lot, for example, in the past, there was always no spicy food in midsummer, but now she prefers light food.No need to think about it, he knew who this change was due to.But he has memories with her and a lot of time, so he is not in a hurry.

His words were unexpected but expected.Sheng Xia only felt that he was extremely tired, and the exhaustion of his muscles and bones penetrated into every pore of his skin.With a quick smile, she just said "Good night, Yihui" and turned to go upstairs.

After taking a shower, Sheng Xia wrapped her bath towel and stood in front of the bathroom mirror to dry her hair.There are a few small cartoon stickers on the mirror, showing an octopus, two tropical fish, a small clump of aquatic plants, and a little turtle.These cartoon stickers have been on her mirror for a long time, about three and a half years!
The reason why I remember it so clearly is that these were given by the boss when she and Gu Yingning went to the seafood restaurant for dinner for the first time.

At that time, they had just become familiar with each other.

Although the first acquaintance started from Sheng Xia's misidentification, but later on, it was Gu Yingning who took the initiative to approach her again and again.Naturally, Sheng Xia also had doubts. She once embarrassed him by losing her composure in front of the public, and she was neither wealthy nor a peerless beauty, so why would a rich man like Gu Yingning care?In the beginning, reason told Sheng Xia to refuse, but emotion made Sheng Xia obey her heart—to obey her desire to see Gu Yingning's face that looked too similar to Xu Yihui.She thought that she was probably drinking poison to quench her thirst.

After a long time, Sheng Xia no longer bothered about this problem.Firstly, Gu Yingning is really a good companion.He never talks too much, and he doesn't make too many harsh demands.In front of him, Sheng Xia has always been the truest self, no need to pretend or please.Secondly, gradually, when she clearly distinguished Gu Yingning and Xu Yihui, it seemed that the original reason had quietly changed.
