Chapter 177 Seeking Help from Liu Xia
Chapter 177 Seeking Help from Liu Xia
Su Jingsi stood in the corridor, following Ouyang Mengmian's departing figure closely, his heart filled with endless attachment and reluctance. Ouyang Mengmian's figure gradually went farther and farther, and finally disappeared at the end of the corridor, but Su Jingsi still did not move, still standing there stupidly, looking in the direction where she disappeared.
He didn't know what he was looking at. Maybe he was expecting Ouyang Mengmian to suddenly turn around and appear in front of him again; maybe he just wanted the beautiful moments of their time together to stay in his mind for a little longer.
At this moment, his deep desire for Ouyang Mengmian surpassed everything, even stronger than his desire to witness the Seven Wonders of the World. In his eyes, the scene of Ouyang Mengmian's return would become an unparalleled miracle, a miracle that would come only for him.
Su Jingsi stood there silently until he felt a slight soreness in his legs and there was no sound in the corridor. He was finally sure that Ouyang Mengmian would not come back. At this moment, Su Jingsi's heart was filled with endless loss and helplessness. He sighed softly, turned and left the corridor and walked into the room.
After returning to the room, Su Jingsi looked around and realized that the scene that he was so familiar with now seemed so awkward.
Originally, he just regarded this place as a place to rest and recuperate. It was Ouyang Mengmian's arrival that added vitality to the room and made him feel full of the warmth of home.
Many places in this room were left with Ouyang Mengmian's figure and traces. Now that Ouyang Mengmian had left, it seemed that he had taken away those traces that were not very clear to begin with.
The room was still the same room, and the furnishings had not increased or decreased, but Su Jingsi felt that it seemed to have suddenly become larger. He could not help but feel an indescribable sense of loss. Since Ouyang Mengmian left, the whole space seemed to have lost its soul, and was filled with a suffocating silence.
Su Jingsi slowly walked to the sofa bed, sat on it, and stared ahead with a confused look. Every moment he spent with Ouyang Mengmian played in his mind like a movie.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that he had long been accustomed to having her around. It was because of her presence that the room was filled with warmth and vitality.
After being stunned for a long time, Su Jingsi remembered that he still had to work. He stood up and walked to the table to turn on the computer. It took a lot of effort to get himself back to work.
As it was nearly 11 o'clock, he finally couldn't wait any longer and sent a message to Liu Xia, seeking Liu Xia's help with his current predicament - those involved in the matter are often confused while bystanders can see things more clearly, and Liu Xia was experienced in emotional matters and must be much more experienced than him.
The message was quickly replied, and Liu Xia asked Su Jingsi to wait, saying that he was going to come out of the office and find a convenient place to chat. Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Su Jingsi received a call from Liu Xia.
"Why did you think of sending me a message today? I haven't heard from you in so many days. If I hadn't known that your hand was injured, I would have thought you were having a good time somewhere!"
As soon as Liu Xia came up, there was a hint of teasing in her tone. Su Jingsi knew that Liu Xia had a straightforward personality and always spoke directly without beating around the bush.
However, this time, unlike any other time when he felt relieved after hearing him speak, Su Jingsi couldn't help but smile bitterly. In order to get a solution as soon as possible, Su Jingsi decided to tell the truth.
"Liu Xia, I am now living with Meng...Ouyang Mengmian..."
"Ah? What did you say? Did I hear you correctly? Who were you with? Ouyang Mengmian? You didn't lie to me, did you? Did you...sleep...sleep?"
Liu Xia's tone was full of shock and disbelief. Perhaps because he was too shocked, his voice was trembling with excitement. Su Jingsi could imagine that Liu Xia on the other end of the phone must have a stunned expression at the moment. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound more stable.
"Liu Xia, you heard it right. I do live with Ouyang Mengmian now. But it's not what you think. We don't have...that..." Su Jingsi tried to explain, but was obviously a little embarrassed - although cohabitation is popular now, he didn't want Liu Xia to misunderstand it, and he didn't want to cause any adverse effects on Ouyang Mengmian's reputation.
Liu Xia obviously realized that his reaction might be a bit excessive. He coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "Oh, oh, sorry, I might have overreacted. I just didn't expect you guys to develop so quickly, and at the same time, I can't help but make some habitual guesses... So... how are you getting along now?"
Su Jingsi sighed. He knew that Liu Xia really cared about him, so he began to tell Liu Xia about his relationship with Ouyang Mengmian.
"We live together now because I was injured when I was helping her drive away a drunkard in the Red Dust Bar. Sorry, I lied to you before. My hand was injured because I was stabbed by that drunkard with a knife..."
"I hid it from you at first because I didn't want to cause any trouble... You know, there are a lot of people in the company, and I didn't want to make it public, so as to avoid gossip..."
Liu Xia agreed with Su Jingsi's explanation to some extent. He nodded, but then he remembered that Su Jingsi couldn't see his movements at this moment, so he said "hmm" twice to show that he understood.
But listening to Su Jingsi talking about the old things at this time, thinking about the scene when the incident happened, he still felt a little thrilling, and finally couldn't help but screamed: "Oh my God, such a thing actually happened! Why didn't you tell me earlier? How is your injury now? How is your recovery?"
"It's okay now, don't worry." Su Jingsi knew that Liu Xia was concerned about him, and he felt a little warm in his heart. He didn't plan to tell Liu Xia about the re-opening of Li Xin's and his wounds. "The wounds have basically healed now, but you can't exert too much force. Ouyang Mengmian accepted my suggestion and let me live with her temporarily because she saw that I was unable to move around so that she could take care of me."
When Liu Xia heard this, his worries suddenly disappeared. He joked, "It seems that this time you have turned a disaster into a blessing. I believe you will be able to get the moon first because you are close to the water."
Su Jingsi smiled bitterly, "I want to do the same...but..."
Su Jingsi's bitter smile made Liu Xia realize that things might not be that simple. He hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?"
Su Jingsi was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then he slowly spoke: "Just now, Ouyang Mengmian left the apartment...Xu Lingfeng is here..."
Hearing Xu Lingfeng's name, Liu Xia's thoughts could not help but stagnate. He frowned, and his voice was filled with surprise and worry: "Xu Lingfeng? Why did he think of interfering with you again at this time? Your feelings for Ouyang Mengmian have not been clear yet, right? If he comes here at this time, it will not be good for the development of your relationship!"
Su Jingsi certainly knew that compared to Xu Lingfeng, he was just a latecomer to Ouyang Mengmian. But no one wanted to meet the person they loved before there was someone else ahead of them.
Therefore, he was completely willing to accept Liu Xia's statement that he ignored the facts and only favored himself. Su Jingsi did not point out the mistakes in Liu Xia's words, but silently approved of Liu Xia's statement.
"Liu Xia, you are right. It is because of this consideration that I called you. I think you have more emotional experience, and perhaps you can help me think of some way to further develop the relationship between me and Ouyang Mengmian." Su Jingsi said earnestly.
When Liu Xia heard Su Jingsi asking for help, she immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. Perhaps Su Jingsi felt some obvious threat, or perhaps Xu Lingfeng was really well prepared this time.
Because of Su Jingsi, although he also likes Ouyang Mengmian a little, it is not easy for him to pursue her anymore - he is destined to have no chance with Ouyang Mengmian. Instead of helping others, it is better to help his brother and let his brother successfully get the beauty!
