Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Chapter 71:

When it was time for dinner, the cafeteria on the TV station became lively. Yan Xi ordered fried pork with cauliflower, fried milk cabbage, a bowl of yam pork ribs soup, and an apple.

is eating slowly. Liao Chengyu walked across from her, put down the plate, and ate together. A few colleagues next to them winked at them and went to another table.

The whole world thought they were in love. Colleagues and family all think so.

But the reality is more complicated and simpler.

Yan Xi must admit that she has always had a good impression of Liao Chengyu, and he is someone who can become a good friend. But once you get to the level of falling in love, you always feel that something is missing. Yan Xi knew that she had very high requirements for her love partner, almost harsh.

Her love history is also quite simple.

There was a youthful sprouting, and if I couldn’t get into the same college, I naturally broke up. Until I met Gao Jiming in my sophomore year, it was an unforgettable time.

After that, it wasn’t that no one pursued her, on the contrary, there were too many people of the same **** and the opposite sex, sometimes to the point of being annoying. It wasn’t until she indulged the rumor of “having an illegitimate daughter” that her ears became clear. As Liu Yiyi said, her heart was never wavered, and it seemed that she no longer had the desire to fall in love.

However, Liao Chengyu is undoubtedly the person she feels good about in recent years. One is that he is long-lasting and dedicated. After his first love girlfriend and fiancee passed away, he has been missing and cherishing her. And he keeps himself clean and has never had a peach **** scandal. A very considerate gentleman and graceful, which is rare among men in today’s society.

She had turned him down again in the hospital parking lot, but he still didn’t give up. Only when she learned that Grandpa Yanxi was in good health did she ask her out.

The first sentence was to apologize to her, “I took advantage of the emptiness that day, and made you embarrassed when you were so anxious.”

Looking at her with both eyes, she said sincerely, “but I really like you.”

He confided to her: “My fiancée has been gone for twelve years. In the first few years, I couldn’t get out at all, and I only thought about work. Later, I became accustomed to being alone, and I stopped thinking about her. It’s just that it’s hard to feel the same way about others.”

They were drinking in a literary and clean bar, not noisy, and most of them chatted softly.

There was a yet-to-be-famous male singer singing Lin Yilian’s song: “If I can give up the whole world, at least there is you, which is worth my treasure, and you are here…”

Yan Xi listened quietly.

Sometimes, after listening to a person’s confession to you, it is also the least respect.

“I actually paid attention to you for a long time. When you didn’t know me, I was moved. After that, I think I found the feeling of loving someone again.”

Yan Xi was slightly moved.

“I know you haven’t liked me yet, you just don’t hate me, don’t worry, I just like you very much, I haven’t fallen in love with you yet.” Liao Chengyu smiled.

Yan Xi was suddenly amused by him, and smiled.

Liao Chengyu continued: “I sometimes think, I’m in my thirties, what kind of relationship do I want at this stage? Maybe just let the family say what they say, don’t ask too much. But I can’t, at least I To like that person, she also has to like me, and we don’t even need to love deeply because sometimes it’s too painful.”

Yan Xi frowned slightly.

“I want to like each other for a while, then deepen understanding, and even get married, and the life after marriage will be closer and more beautiful.”

“Sometimes I think that the divorce rate is so high now, in addition to tempting too many people and impetuous, is it because they demanded too much from the beginning, so they couldn’t bear the huge gap and disappointment when they got married, then in turn, we just Like, don’t love so deeply, will it last longer?”

Yan Xi never thought of this, she froze for a moment and thought, “This is an interesting hypothesis.”

“Yanxi, I’ve said so much, I just want to beg you, can you give me a chance to chase you, let you like me a little bit, and then we’ll go down.”

“The rest are my good assumptions, but I beg you first, give me a chance to pursue you?”

His words were sincere and sincere. Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, and his heart was fluctuating. Think of her grandparents, think of herself. Do you want to be single and be alone forever? She’s going to be 30 soon, and to be honest she’s not that strong, maybe, maybe, give it a try?

“If I work hard and you don’t like me anymore, then I can only forget it,” Liao Chengyu smiled, “don’t be under pressure, please stay with me for a while, I will never force you, if not, we will separate. I Promise a gentleman.” He raised his hand in a childish oath, revealing two deep dimples.

Yan Xi was stunned, and finally nodded.

So there was a situation where the whole world thought they were dating, but both of them knew they were not.

Fortunately for Yan Xi, Liao Chengyu really respected her when he said he would respect her, and he wouldn’t engage in some fancy tricks. In the past, her blind suitor was a certain rich second-generation son. She sent cosmetics, luxury cars and various shopping coupons. Every day, she regularly sent various flowers. Every time she blocked her in front of the TV station, she had nowhere to put the flowers. If you don’t put it in front of the TV station, you will block the way of others, and it will have a very bad influence on the people who work in the TV station. It made her very embarrassed, and some female colleagues hurt her and hanged others. In the end, she had no choice but to deliberately reveal that she had a child to take care of at home, and even brought An Zhi to the stage. This way of pursuit gradually disappeared.

By the way, she also has to take into account An Zhi. Liao Chengyu has met An Zhi at least a few times, and Yan Xi knows that he has no intention of rejecting An Zhi. He will praise her and chat with her about An Zhi. Not too many privacy questions were asked.

She promised him a few years ago, but she didn’t spend much time alone. Most of the time they were working in teams, and they only had time to eat together after the New Year, and most of them ate in the cafeteria. If there is one difference, Liao Chengyu will look for her openly, extend the time to talk to her, work overtime and buy food for her, and be careful without making people feel oppressed.

To be honest, Yan Xi felt that this way of getting along was quite comfortable. She will also reciprocate, for example, when she goes to the cafeteria to prepare a meal for him, and take the initiative to send some text messages to remind him of the weather, etc.

They get along slowly in this friendly way. But the whole world thought they were in love.

Even Liu Yiyi said to her on WeChat: “Very good, it’s good to be a good friend first, it seems that you are making good progress, Yan Xiaowu!”

Yan Xi was also busy with work for the rest of the time. When she was free, she realized later that she hadn’t had a good chat with An Zhi in the past few months. Was she in a chemistry competition recently? And just today? Don’t know how the test is? Usually An Zhi would call her, but how long had it been since they made daily phone calls?

They were not like this before. They had to talk on the phone once a day, and a few simple sentences were necessary. Yan Xi recalled hard, it seemed that she felt that An Zhi was in love, perhaps it was some youthful sprouting, she needed some personal space, and she was too old, so she didn’t need to tell her what she did all the time.

Yan Xi frowned, feeling a little guilty.

Many people don’t understand Yan Xi and feel that her personality is gentle and generous, but in fact she doesn’t particularly like being deceived by others. Especially in the people she cares about. When they were in love with Gao Jiming, both of them were popular people at school, but Yan Xi declined the others as soon as he confirmed the relationship with him. But Gao Jiming was different, he always couldn’t bear it. Especially that time, when she bumped into her, she didn’t reject it in public, and she didn’t explain the situation to her after that, and she even flirted with the girl. It was that time when she really got **** and lost confidence in this relationship.

Yan Xi pinched his brows, wondering why he thought about Gao Jiming and her again? Is this a different nature at all? Is she blaming Anzhi for not confessing to her? This is not the same, she is still a child.

Yan Xi laughed that he was not mature enough. Well, she was a little uncomfortable. An Zhidu told her that she liked girls. She could hide the rest if she wanted to.

After get off work, he declined Liao Chengyu’s suggestion to send her home, drove back by himself, and did not answer the phone call to Anzhi.

She entered the house, parked the car, and locked the door. The lights on the first floor of the house were still on, and she went up to the second floor, leaving only the wall lamps.

Looking at the table below, it’s only nine o’clock, and An Zhi is already sleeping?

Yan Xi put down her bag and took off her coat. The door of An Zhi’s room was not closed, and Yan Xi pushed it open and entered.

There are only floor lamps in the room, and the star lights on the curtains are on.

“Tao Tao, are you asleep?” Yan Xi walked in and asked softly, the quilt on the bed moved, and An Zhi’s little face stuck out.

“Are you uncomfortable?” Yan Xi sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to probe her forehead, but remembering that she had just returned from outside, her hands were still cold.

“Well… a little bit.” An Zhi’s voice was weak, and his eyes were watery at her.

Yan Xi thought about it and forgot the next day, “Is your period coming?”

Anzhi nodded.

The heating was turned on in the room, so it shouldn’t be cold, so Yan Xi still tucked the quilt for her, got up and filled her with a hot water bottle and stuffed it into her quilt.

“Put it in your stomach.” She whispered.
