18. He doesn't want to mention the past
This name has not appeared for too long, so Ying Xichi himself didn't know what the reaction was.
It was as if my body suddenly became stiff and could not move, as if it was trapped in a whirlpool. My deep eyes looked at the ground without saying a word.
He remembered the last meeting with Xi Shen.
I still remember the scene clearly when I was buying gifts for Qu Xinyan. He knew very well that Xi Shen was still doing things a few years ago, and it was better than a few years ago. Even though he knew that those provocative words were targeted at him, he didn't want to go over and take care of them too much.
After all, back then... he was indeed arrogant and inadvertently hurting others.
After waiting silently for a long time, Qu Xinyan stood behind him, holding the corner of her clothes with her slender fingers. Seeing that he had not moved for a long time, her heart that wanted to ask did not dare to speak. She sensitively felt something was wrong.
It seemed... it was the aura around him, telling her that he was not in a good mood.
Qu Xinyan understood in one second, and suddenly wanted to slap herself to death. Why did she ask such a stupid question? Now, how to end it!
The huge living room is a bit too quiet.
The window was open, and the howling wind rolled up the curtains and hit the wall one by one, with a loud noise. She bit her lip and looked at the drizzle outside, and slowly moved forward with her head down, admitting her mistake obediently.
"Sorry..." She didn't know he would be so taboo about this question. She saw that his face changed a lot just now, "Can you pretend I didn't ask?"
Her voice always had a slight nasal sound, and she was soft and crisp. She lowered her head and whispered to behave in a low voice. Her little eyes couldn't help but glance at the man who was facing her back, looking very pitiful.
Ying Xichi leaned against his body and did not say a word.
She had really reflected deeply, so she shouldn't ask randomly without knowing anything. She lowered her head and stretched out her fingers, not noticing that the man had turned around and faced him, quietly reached out to hold the corner of his clothes, and pulled it slightly.
"I was wrong……"
The obedient apology made the man's eyes deeper, his black eyes stared straight at her hair, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his face was light and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"...You say something!" After muttering in a low voice, Qu Xinyan pouted and secretly wanted to take a few more glances, but unexpectedly, he raised his eyes and just hit his eyes. She couldn't understand the emotions behind the black eyes.
"It's okay." After a long time, he spoke, and said indifferently: "I'll leave first if there's nothing."
He watched her sit on the sofa before turning around and leaving.
When the door closed, Qu Xinyan's heart jumped suddenly.
She was stunned, leaned back and pulled over the soft pillow to cover her face.
It's really...
*******
It was still early to return to the club, so Ying Xichi sat alone for a while, silently and silently, unable to calm down for a while, so he simply took the basketball and went to the venue next to him alone.
Although he didn't say anything, his cold face and tightly pursed lips still clearly stated that he was in a bad mood. His teammates would look at the winks and do their own things wisely without asking.
I just did things myself until four o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Yue Yi came in, he felt sensitively that the atmosphere was wrong. When she came, no matter how tired everyone was in practice, she was still laughing and joking when she was resting. But today everyone just sat on the bench and drank water on her own, and she remained silent when she saw her coming.
I felt a little strange.
Just now, calm footsteps came from the side, and familiarity was right in his ears. Yue Yi turned his head and saw Ying Xichi walking in from outside the door, his eyebrows and eyes were cold and deserted. His thin lips were pursed like before, but she could see that he was in a bad mood at this time.
He watched him take his clothes and walk into the locker room again. Until he heard the slight sound of water, Yue Yi came to his senses from the momentum.
The teammates had already started practicing consciously. For a moment, the sound in the venue was very noisy. She looked for the bench and sat down, looking at the closed door in front of her quietly.
In fact, she has thought a lot over the past few days, about the future of the club, but more about Ying Xichi.
She had been in love with him for so many years and had never received any response. She knew it was her wishful thinking, but now she didn't want to continue like this.
Because of Qu Xinyan's appearance, she even thought that she might as well not say it. Sometimes it is the best to keep it like this. If she says it, everything may change.
But her friend's words suddenly woke her up.
They said, "Yue Yi, are you a fool? They are not together at all. Maybe they will not be together in the future. You want to give up without trying anything and give it to others for nothing?"
"How long have you known him? How long have you known him? So what if you met him before? After so many years, even if you remember him, you are just an ordinary friend. You have loved him for so many years. There is no need to give up because of such uncertainty."
"According to me, you have to work hard to be with him before they develop something. If you don't give up once now, you will definitely regret it in the future, I promise!"
There are many other words like this. Although not every sentence is understood, she did listen to it and think it thoroughly.
What they said was not wrong.
It was clearly Ying Xichi whom she met first, and Ying Xichi whom she liked first. Even if there were intersections three years ago, it was worthy of their time and night together for several years and the future she paid for the club?
No, she, Qu Xinyan, is not qualified!
The fingers hanging beside him tightened and tightened. Yue Yi bit his lower lip, and his eyes became cold and firm inch by inch.
How could she know the result if she didn't work hard once? She would never give in to her.
*******
Waiting patiently, Yue Yi saw Yingxi coming out late, got up and smiled. The closer he got, the more he could feel the low pressure on his body. Yue Yi took a light breath.
"What's wrong? It looks like I'm not in a good mood!" she asked inadvertently while sitting beside him, looking at him with a smile, "What's the matter that can make you unhappy?"
The response I received was naturally a long silence. Yue Yi was not surprised, and pursed his lips and smiled and continued: "Well, I saw that they were practicing very hard just now, and you would never be angry with them. Then why did you ask me to guess..."
The topic changed: "Because... Qu Xinyan?"
He looked sideways.
"Ah, it's true!" Yue Yi nodded and held out his chin with his fingers, "What's wrong with her? You look so unhappy, aren't you..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted: "No!"
Yue Yi was stunned.
I saw him looking at her coldly. The low pressure did not decrease at all. On the contrary, it was a tendency to increase. He gently tapped his fingertips on his knees, turned his head and stood up: "Don't guess randomly, it has nothing to do with her."
The figure disappeared quickly.
Sitting straight straight, Yue Yi pinched his slender fingers tightly and loosened it, and repeated several times before he let out a breath of turbid air. She lowered her eyes and walked for a while. When she heard the sound of the office opening, she smiled and continued to meet her.
"Xichi..." Yue Yi stood in front of him, wisely skipped the topic that made both of them unhappy just now, and carefully invited him: "I recently discovered a new restaurant that tastes very good, just the kind you like, how about it, go there for dinner?"
No one answered.
"It's not very far from here. We didn't celebrate the last time we won the game in S City. Otherwise, we'll go there today. Everyone is here, so you're fine, don't let it go, how about going to have a dinner together?"
He said the invitation, but Yue Yi had no idea. He wouldn't come eight out of ten times in the past dinner.
Thinking that if she was rejected, she could continue to work hard to do something else, her mentality naturally relaxed a little.
"You..." Ying Xichi thought about it and was about to ask them to go by themselves, but a large number of teammates surrounded him at this time. He said with a smile that he wanted to go, and dragged his arm directly out.
"Go and go!" The one who made the most fuss was naturally Luo Min, the most lively team. He dragged Ying Xichi out with a smile. "It's been a long time since I had a dinner party, and I almost forgot what it felt like. Hurry up, my brothers and others are hungry too."
Luo Min was a little shorter than Ying Xichi, but his strength should not be underestimated. He dragged Ying Xichi to the car directly.
"Let's go!"
He was already pressed on the driver's seat without saying a word. If he didn't go, he would never let him get out of the car. Ying Xichi had no choice but to start the car.
The group headed towards the restaurant. Yue Yi was sitting in the passenger seat. Yu Guang secretly glanced at his casual and lazy posture, and the corners of his mouth became even more curved.
*******
The newly discovered restaurant really tasted good. Luo Min and a few chatty people quickly brought up the atmosphere. The group was in trouble. Fortunately, everyone wanted a soundproof box so that they would not quarrel with others.
While listening to everyone's words, Yue Yi poked the dishes in the bowl with chopsticks. He noticed Ying Xichi's silence and the chopsticks as usual. After thinking for a while, hesitated for a long time before he mustering up the courage to take the public chopsticks.
"Try this," she put a piece of fish in his clean unmoved plate, "this tastes great."
After being together for so long, he had already felt his temper and appetite. Yue Yi was sure that as long as he ate the fish she picked, he would like it very much.
But she thought the result too well, but forgot whether the process would follow her vision.
"Eat more." It should be a concern, but Yue Yi didn't sound heart-warming. She saw that the clean plate with only fish was moved to her, calling her eating more, but in fact she knew that he had never thought about eating.
The frustrated emotion took root and sprouted. Yue Yi frowned and bit his lower lip. He had already seen deep marks and did not let go. After a while, she smiled dryly.
"good."
The meal was extremely boring. Yue Yiben wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Yingxichi. Unexpectedly, his teammates came up to ask for wine. As the only girl here, she ignored everyone's toast, so she couldn't help but get drunk after several rounds.
When she left the seat, she was already shaking and unable to stand steadily. Yue Yi felt that her mind was very clear, but her steps were not under control. She clearly heard that the only person who had not drunk alcohol would send a few people home on the way, and she was arranged in the last one according to the route. She closed her eyes and collapsed in the passenger seat with satisfaction.
As her teammates got out of the car one by one, she was the most drunk and waited for a long time before she arrived near her community. Yue Yi rubbed his eyes and looked out of the car window. From the corner of her eyes, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure in the corner.
It seems to be... Qu Xinyan.
The plan became heartbroken in an instant. Yue Yi pretended to vomit and get out of the car. He held the car door and made a fuss for a while, successfully attracted the attention of people not far away. She squinted her eyes and saw Ying Xichi walking towards her. She smiled slightly and pretended to stagger under her feet, reached out and rushed towards him, and hugged him tightly.
