Chapter 236 Happy Breakup

"Brother Ziheng," Xia Yu's voice was soft and weak, "where are you? Can you take me to my sister's cemetery?"

"What's wrong?" Pei Ziheng asked in a deep voice. Ever since Xia Yu scolded Xia Ling, his attitude towards her has always been indifferent, and he would not let her get close to things related to Xia Ling easily, and even the cemetery would not allow her to visit at will.

On the other end of the phone, Xia Yu bit her lips: "I folded a can of thousand paper cranes for my sister to pray for blessings, and I just folded it, thinking that today is Valentine's Day, and I was afraid that she would be lonely...Brother Ziheng, the cemetery guards are not Let me go in, can you accompany me? I want to give the Paper Crane to my sister, I... miss her very much."

Her voice was filled with tears.

Pei Ziheng's slightly gloomy expression revealed a hint of tenderness, after all, she was Xiao Ling's own sister, her flesh and blood connected her heart, Xia Yu was the only one in this world who would miss Xiao Ling like this.

"I'll pick you up in half an hour." He said and hung up the phone.

"Are you leaving?" Xia Ling asked.

Pei Ziheng picked up the half-peeled apple and rotated it skillfully with his fingers, dragging the thin peel off. "There are some things to deal with," he said to Xia Ling gently, "You eat the apple, go to bed early, and call me if you need anything."

Just now she vaguely heard the voice on the phone: "Is it Xia Yu?"

Pei Ziheng raised his head and glanced at her, his eyes vaguely sharp, as if she was desperately trying to find out some secret that she shouldn't. Xia Ling smiled to herself. In this life, they were outsiders after all. No matter how peaceful they were on the surface, they could never return to the close past.

"Nothing else," she said softly, "I just didn't expect you to spend Valentine's Day with her." So, her good sister was successful? Step by step, you eliminate dissidents and get closer to Pei Ziheng. Can you finally call him back with a phone call and spend a romantic night together? ... Xia Yu's years of planning were not in vain.

The corners of Xia Ling's lips curved with a trace of irony.

That arc was indescribably dazzling in Pei Ziheng's eyes.

Out of nowhere, he explained to her: "Xia Yu is going to the cemetery to visit her sister. I will see her off."

Oh, it turns out I borrowed her name. The sarcasm on the corners of Xia Ling's lips became wider, and she looked at him with a half-smile: "You should know that Xia Yu scolded Xia Ling not long ago, how can she be so kind to visit her sister?"

Pei Ziheng frowned: "There are stumbling blocks between sisters, there is no real enmity." This is also the reason why he is willing to tolerate Xia Yu. After the scolding incident, Xia Yu once apologized to him in tears, saying that he was infatuated for a while , angry that her sister had made herself scarred for love, and finally passed away, leaving her alone as a sister, so she spoke unscrupulously.

Pei Ziheng believed her words.

Who said that Xia Yu has been pretending so well for more than ten years that her image of a good sister is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people?

Xia Ling was too lazy to argue with Pei Ziheng. He believed in Xia Yu. Anyway, she no longer wanted to get involved in the past events of her previous life. She leaned lazily on the bedside and watched him peeling apples with a calm expression.

Seeing her noncommittal look, Pei Ziheng felt a little irritable for some reason, and when he lost his hand strength, the peel that was originally connected into a perfect thin belt broke. Xia Ling let out a "chi" laugh, it was rare to see him do something that failed.

Pei Ziheng looked up at her.

Xia Ling quickly suppressed her laugh: "It's already pretty good, um, it's better than Li Lei..." She wanted to say that she was much better than Li Lei, but her words stopped. Li Lei's handsome face with a bright smile appeared in front of his eyes. He was different from Pei Ziheng when he ate apples. He would never peel the skins so patiently. she.

Well, it would be a good idea to help her cut pieces, and often force her to do it herself.

Xia Ling was in a trance, but she didn't know that Pei Ziheng's eyes all fell into the look of melancholy.

"We broke up, what is there to worry about?" Pei Ziheng lowered his eyebrows, peeled off the last piece of fruit little by little, sliced ​​the apple horizontally, and put it on a plate, "You were driven out on New Year's Eve, because the Li family didn't recognize you, right?" , that old man in their family is notoriously stubborn, Li Lei... hmph, helpless."

Xia Ling's expression darkened.

Pei Ziheng pushed the fruit plate in front of her: "Eat."

She looked at the extremely well-cut apple slices, and the seeds in the center of each slice were in the shape of a beautiful pentagram. This cutting method is different from ordinary people, he has always been used to cutting horizontally——

I still remember that one year, she joked with him, saying that she wanted the stars in the sky. It was midsummer at that time, and the evening breeze in the rose garden was slightly intoxicating. He took out an apple with pearls and dew from the iced fruit bowl beside the long rattan table, cut it crosswise, and handed it to her.

He is not a romantic person, but once in a while, it is even more unforgettable.

He said, Xiaoling, in every apple is hidden a star that I gave you.

This habit has not changed until now.

She reached out to pick up the apple and took a bite, which tasted sour.

Pei Ziheng watched her eat, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Is it delicious?"

She shook her head.

Pei Ziheng raised his eyebrows.

"Let's go." The corners of her eyes were sour, she didn't dare to look up at him, "Xia Yu is still waiting for you."

"It's really not delicious?" He didn't leave, but asked unwillingly, leaned over and took the sliced ​​apple in her hand, and took a bite where she had bitten, it seemed a little sour.

"Come on, it's too late." She chased them away.

Pei Ziheng raised his wrist to check the time, stood up, "I'll cut a sweet one for you next time." He took the coat off the hanger, opened the door and left the ward.

The ward became quiet, and Xia Ling looked at the plate of apples for a long time until they gradually oxidized and turned yellow in the air. The sourness in the corners of her eyes disappeared, and her expression became very, very light. People who miss her will always be missed, whether it is Pei Ziheng, Li Lei...

That's fine.

After a few days of recovery in the ward, the bruises on my lower abdomen gradually dissipated.

During this period, Pei Ziheng visited her twice, and each time he came and went in a hurry, leaving within a quarter of an hour. She lay on the hospital bed bored and flipped through the newspaper. After the entertainment section, she flipped through the financial section. Only then did she realize that his daily schedule was so busy. It was more than twice as busy as before when she was by his side as Xia Ling. .

I also saw the news about Li Lei.

The newspaper said that he would return to China soon.

This news made Xia Ling's heart ache slightly. When did she have to find out about him through a newspaper?

"Happy Breakup" was playing on the bedside headphones. However, she was not happy at all. However, if it's broken, it's broken, and it's better if you don't see it in the future. Xia Ling took the newspaper and thought about it. Why don't you move quickly before he comes back, so as not to rent his apartment in the future, and meeting him will only increase the embarrassment.

But where to move?
