Since met you

Chapter 32 Companionship Is the Longest Confession

"Didn't you have dinner with a client?" On the way back, Ye Shuying finally couldn't help asking.

"This is my client." Xia Yu watched helplessly as Xia Mingming rested her head on her shoulder, "I went to their company to have a meeting for a day, and I tried my best to get the former boss to invest in us. Is it easy for me? ?”

"Then why don't you just say you have dinner with Sister Mingming?" Ye Shuying said in a lukewarm tone.

"I……"

"You are guilty of being a thief!" Ye Shuying immediately interrupted him, "Good Xia Yu, it turns out that apart from an ex-girlfriend Zhang Xiaoxiao, you have always been ambiguous with Sister Mingming. Unfortunately, I always thought you were immersed in broken love I can't extricate myself. Hmph, hugging left and right is actually very comfortable."

"What are you talking about?" Xia Yu stretched out her hand and slammed Ye Shuying on the head who was sitting in front, "What about hugging, Mingming and I have nothing."

"Ha, Lao Chen hit me." Ye Shuying turned angrily and prepared to fight back.

"Stop making trouble." Old Chen was naturally too lazy to listen to their flirting.

"Ha, Lao Chen, you didn't help me either. Tell me, did you hear that just now? Sister Mingming cried and said: Why can't you be with me? Why can't you? That's a heartbreak. "Ye Shuying imitated Xia Mingming's cry just now.

"Let you talk, let you talk." Xia Yu angrily reached out and scratched Ye Shuying's head.

"Hey." The drowsy Xia Mingming hiccupped at this moment, and everyone in the car covered their noses.

Xia Yu and Lao Chen worked together to carry Xia Mingming up to the fifth floor and helped her into Ye Shuying's room. Xia Yu wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Mingming will sleep with you tonight."

"Nonsense, do you still sleep with you?"

"I would like to, but..."

"Aha, you actually want to? You stinky rascal, I thought you were an infatuated person, but you are full of men and women..."

Xia Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed Ye Shuying's face, Ye Shuying hurriedly stuck out his tongue, Xia Yu then smeared a handful of saliva, he withdrew his hand suddenly, and shook it in disgust, "This... you Disgusting."

Ye Shuying stuck out her tongue: "Let you bully me."

"You really..." Xia Yu took a look at Ye Shuying, and with an idea, she reached out and wiped Ye Shuying's clothes.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Ye Shuying hurriedly avoided.

"What's the matter? I hate my saliva too? Don't run away." Xia Yu smiled and chased after him, and the two of them filled the room and started running around.Depressed old Chen sat silently in the living room, pretending to be watching TV seriously, but actually hearing the sound of two people laughing, his lungs were going to explode, so he could only flick the remote control vigorously, got up and went back to the room.

"Did we make Lao Chen watch TV?" Ye Shuying looked at Xia Yu innocently.

Xia Yu turned around and chased into the room, cursing: "Hey, Old Chen, who agrees that you sleep in my room today? You haven't settled the debt with you yet."

Both of them went back to the room, Ye Shuying felt bored, so she could only go back to her own room.Xia Mingming was still asleep, frowning slightly, as if having a bad dream.

"Xia Yu..." Xia Mingming turned over and murmured the name.

So you have always liked Xia Yu?Accompanying him for so many years, watching him fall in love, watching him break up in love, but hiding this secret, must be very uncomfortable, right?Ye Shuying sighed, turned around to take a shower, but heard someone knocking on the door gently.

Ye Shuying opened the door and found Xia Yu standing there. He glanced at Xia Mingming on the bed: "Are you still asleep?"

"Yeah. I called your name just now." Ye Shuying deliberately teased him.

Xia Yu ignored her, but said: "If she wakes up, don't tell her what she said when she was drunk, remember?"

"But are you sure she doesn't remember?" Ye Shuying asked.

"Mingming is very smart, she will definitely not remember things that should not be remembered."

Ye Shuying was stunned for a moment when she heard this answer, and then she reacted. She glared at Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, you are such a jerk."

Xia Yu smiled wryly: "Yeah, I also think I'm quite an asshole."

"Okay, let's go out. I won't say anything." Ye Shuying kicked Xia Yu out and closed the door.Turning her head, she found that Xia Mingming had opened her eyes, staring at herself blankly, her eyes were so clear and shining that she trembled in fright, "Sister Mingming, you're awake... Did you hear what I just said? "

Xia Mingming didn't answer, but nodded slightly.

"Then..." Ye Shuying didn't know what to say for a while.

Xia Mingming smiled wryly, tried her best to sit up with her hands, and Ye Shuying hurried over to help her.Xia Mingming sat up and rubbed her temples with her hands: "My head hurts, can you pour me a cup of hot water?"

Ye Shuying hurriedly ran back to the living room to get a cup of hot water. Xia Mingming took a few sips and took a long breath: "It's much more comfortable, and I won't drink so much in the future."

"That's right, I haven't seen you drink much in the past few gatherings. Why do you drink so much today?"

"Because I lack courage." Xia Mingming smiled wryly, "It's also because I'm leaving soon. Before I want to leave, I need to make a decision."

"Let's go, where are you going?"

"Go to America and study abroad. I got an offer last month, but I haven't made a decision yet." Xia Mingming took a sip of water and raised her head, "But I finally made up my mind a few days ago."

"Is it because of Xia Yu's hesitation?"

"Yes, do you want to hear the story between me and Xia Yu? Although it's not as ups and downs as he and Zhang Xiaoxiao's, it's been almost ten years."

"Yeah." Ye Shuying nodded, pulled a stool and sat down.

"I met Xia Yu when I was in the first year of high school. During the military training that day, I passed out due to heat stroke. He stood behind me and supported me. Later, he carried me to the infirmary. When I woke up , I saw him sitting by the bed listening to music with earphones and a lollipop in his mouth. At first glance, he seemed to be a very quiet boy, but later he realized that he was a chatterbox. When he saw me wake up, he also handed Give me a lollipop and say: The doctor said your blood sugar is too low, do you want to supplement it? I took his lollipop, and I didn’t know what to say, and the two of them just sat there like this It took a long time. Later he asked me if I was okay, I nodded, he hurriedly gave me a 'shush' gesture, and then told me in a low voice: Don't say that you are okay, otherwise we both have to go back to stand So we stayed in the infirmary all afternoon, and he gave me an earphone halfway through. I don’t remember what song it was, but he hummed a few lines along with it. It was really ugly.

"Later, I gradually got to know him. He happened to sit in the front row of me. He always stacked books high in front of me, and then slept on his stomach. His homework in Chinese and mathematics is very good, but physical chemistry sometimes I only scored ten points in the test, and I like history very much. I often tell some stories to me, which are much more interesting than the history teacher. Later, when I was divided into arts and sciences, he asked me whether to study literature or science. When I said, he was very happy. He said that we might still be in the same class. In fact, I didn’t tell him that my family taught me to study theory, but I knew he would definitely choose essays, so I didn’t listen to the subsequent physics classes. In the end we all divided In the best liberal arts class, he relied on his good grades to coax the teacher to make an exception for us, a man and a woman, to be at the same table. When he went to talk to the head teacher, I thought, at that time, I naively thought that this It's not my wishful thinking and unrequited love, he must also like me in his heart.

"When the third year of senior high school was approaching the college entrance examination, the teacher asked us to fill in our ideal aspirations. He bought a book about travel, studied the cities on it, and then discussed with me. He asked me which city I wanted to go to, and I said I wanted Go to a city with the sea. He started to choose those coastal cities, and finally felt that Xiamen was a very good choice, so the two of us met to take the Xiamen University exam together. My grades are actually a little far from being admitted to Xiamen University. So in the end In those two months, all the classmates in the dormitory were asleep, and I was still hiding under the quilt to review. Finally, I was admitted to Xiamen University together with him. He studied editing and publishing, and I studied advertising. After entering the university, I think that we I have accomplished my goals, so one day I finally made up my mind to confess my love, but he met Zhang Xiaoxiao on that day, and then ran to her without hesitation. I can only pretend to be very happy to bless him, he and Zhang Xiaoxiao He introduced me with a smile and said that this is my best friend. I nodded and smiled, but my heart ached. When I was about to graduate, he hugged me and said, it’s great to meet me, it’s great to have a friend like me. I didn't speak, just kept crying and crying. He said, don't cry, is it because you don't want me? Do you want to go to Beijing with me? I was so excited at the time, I bought a ticket to Beijing the next day.

"I thought, if I stay with him like this all the time, will he suddenly understand my heart one day? Even if I don't say anything, these years of companionship represent my confession. But he always just put me As friends, until one day I suddenly realized that it was not that he was slow, but that he knew it all the time, but he pretended not to know it. In order to keep our friendship, and because he really only has feelings for me as a friend.

"He is afraid of losing me as a friend, just as I am afraid of losing him. Didn't he say that? Mingming is a very smart person, she knows what things should be remembered." Xia Mingming smiled wryly, the corners of her eyes were a little wet, she reached out and wiped Wipe, her voice choked with sobs, "Isn't it quite sad?"

"But this time I don't plan to wait any longer. I have been with him for too long. Now I think, I should go to chase my own life. I don't like Beijing, I just like him, so I stay I have been here for three years. But now I have decided to leave and never come back." Xia Mingming got out of bed and put on her coat.

"Miss Mingming..."

"Okay, I'm leaving. I know you like Xia Yu, so he should like you too, right?" Xia Mingming came over and gave Ye Shuying a gentle hug, "I haven't seen him so happy for a long time, like Just like when I first met him in high school."

Xia Mingming pushed open the door, but there was no one in the living room, Ye Shuying sent her to the door, she smiled at Ye Shuying, then turned and went downstairs without any hesitation.Ye Shuying closed the door gently, turned around, only to find Xia Yu standing outside her room door looking at her, she was startled: "Hey, why are you two alike? Appearing behind someone else?"

"Is she sober?"

"Maybe she's not drunk at all?"

"Really, I left without saying a word. It was a waste of me carrying her all the way." Xia Yu scratched her head, turned around and wanted to go back to the room.

"Wait!" Ye Shuying called to stop him.

"What?" Xia Yu frowned.

"You still have..." Ye Shuying slowly choked out words one by one.

Xia Yu still looked puzzled: "What exactly are you going to say?"

"Xia Yu!" At this time, Ye Shuying was interrupted by a call, which was from downstairs, almost heart-piercing.After Xia Yu and Ye Shuying looked at each other, they hurried to the window and looked down, only to find that Xia Mingming was standing there, looking up at them.

"Xia Yu! I like you, I like you, I like you!" Xia Mingming shouted, tears streaming down her face, "This time you heard it, I heard it, everyone heard it. None of us can pretend anymore.

"For so many years, I have always liked you. From today, this is no longer a secret. You and I must understand that Xia Mingming likes Xia Yu, they are not just friends. You remember! Tell others again, I am your best friend!
"I'm not your best friend, because I like you!" Xia Mingming yelled loudly, until finally she was out of breath and squatted down.

Xia Yu didn't speak, but when Ye Shuying turned her head to look at him, she found that he was looking down, tears streaming down silently.

Xia Mingming stood up again, wiped the tears off her face with a smile, and said softly, "Although you don't like me."

"Aren't you going to see her?" Ye Shuying asked.

Xia Yu didn't speak, but at this time Xia Mingming suddenly turned around and ran away, as if she was going to run away with all her strength, without hesitation, as if she would never look back.

But the story that happened that night has some other meanings to Ye Shuying.That was the first time she suddenly felt that she didn't really understand Xia Yu. Although she was with Xia Yu every day, she knew what Xia Yu liked to eat and what she didn't like, and what habitual little movements she did while watching TV. The attitude of this part is very vague.Besides, she seemed to see the shadow of Lao Chen from Xia Mingming.

It is also the companionship since childhood, and it is also the careful care of one party for the other. Compared with Xia Mingming and Xia Yu, Lao Chen Yu himself has more than ten years more. As an older brother who takes care of himself, no matter how dull he is, he has discovered some strange things from some recent life fragments.

What if Lao Chen loves himself like Xia Mingming loves Xia Yu?Xia Yuneng watched Xia Mingming go straight to the United States dragging her suitcase with cold eyes, and silently accepted the development trend that she could not be a lover or a friend from now on.But if Lao Chen treats Ye Shuying like this...

"Old Chen...Old Chen, don't leave. What should I do when you leave? Without you to take care of me, who do I go to when I am bullied? Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." Let Lao Chen's sleeves wail.

Early the next morning, Lao Chen suddenly packed his luggage and prepared to go out with two big boxes.Ye Shuying opened the door and looked at Lao Chen in surprise: "Didn't you say that you will be renovating for a week? Why did you leave?"

"Oh, the landlord suddenly called and said he didn't want to pretend anymore."

"What kind of landlord, so self-willed." Ye Shuying yawned, "Wait a minute, I'll clean up and send you down. Otherwise, you drag these two big boxes by yourself. By the way, what about Xia Yu, Xia... ..."

"Hush." ​​Lao Chen hurriedly stopped Ye Shuying, and said softly, "I haven't spoken since I returned to my room yesterday."

Ye Shuying also hurriedly covered her mouth, she lowered her voice: "Wait for me."

As Ye Shuying and Lao Chen dragged the boxes to the garage, both of them were silent.Normally, Ye Shuying would talk all the way, and Lao Chen would just smirk, but today Ye Shuying frowned and pushed the box preoccupied.

"What's wrong with the girl? So silent today?"

"Old Chen," Ye Shuying suddenly stopped, "I ask you a question."

Lao Chen also stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"

"If..." Ye Shuying looked down at her toes, "If I like other boys, if I fall in love, will we become estranged?"

Lao Chen didn't respond to her immediately, the surroundings were quiet, and Ye Shuying gently circled with her toes, as if she had done something wrong, until finally she couldn't bear the silence and slowly raised her head.But at this time, Lao Chen came over with a stride, opened his arms and gently hugged Ye Shuying.

"Old Chen, you..." Ye Shuying was taken aback, but the deep and deep voice immediately calmed her down.

"Girl, don't worry, no matter where you are, no matter who you are with, as long as you need me, I will always stand by your side. Don't think too much, I won't leave you suddenly." Old Chen let go of his hands , looked at Ye Shuying with a smile.
