The Hope You Gave Me: 59-cantaloupe


Although his face was covered in blood, Xin Qi rarely lost his temper. He just took a soft cloth from the driver and swept the glass particles from the seat to the ground. He glanced at the wind and rain outside and said, "Come in and talk. ."

Min Hui was a little confused. She didn't know why it was Cheng Qirang's car, but the person inside suddenly became Xin Qi. After thinking about it carefully, I understood: this place is not far from the company's gate, Cheng Qirang is also the CEO of a large group, and it is impossible to stalk her in public. Maybe his car had left. Xin Qi saw her demeanor and chased after her. The two cars were black, and they couldn't see clearly in the heavy rain...

Min Hui obediently sat in and saw the blood on his face dripping on the snow-white shirt, which was particularly dazzling, and said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person, hurry to the hospital."

After he finished speaking, he sat next to him, shrank his shoulders, bit his lip, and said nothing.

Actually, her strength is limited, and the holes opened by the bricks are not large. The glass of the car is tempered during manufacture. Even if there is an external force, it will shatter into particles. Generally, it will not cause serious damage to personnel. of cuts.

But Xin Qi's appearance was a little scary. She looked closely and saw that they were all small wounds, but they were bleeding profusely, creating the impression of "blood all over the face". There was no first aid kit in the car. Xin Qi thought it was not a big deal, so he asked the driver to find a pharmacy and buy some Band-Aids and medical alcohol to clean and stick the wounds one by one. Min Hui wiped the remaining blood on his face with a wet tissue. It was clear that it was already clean. After a while, the blood seeped out of the Band-Aid and continued to drip out.

"Why can't the blood stop?" she said anxiously, "It's been more than ten minutes, so go to the hospital! The wound needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and there may be glass fragments in it."

"I take anticoagulants every day, and the bleeding will stop more slowly," he said, "but it will stop, so don't worry."

She sat beside him in shame and frustration, thinking that she had blocked him on WeChat, sitting too close to him, so she had to lean against the window. Xin Qi was still sitting in the position where the car window was smashed, the rain came in from the outside, half of the suit was wet, and with the blood on the collar, he looked very embarrassed. Min Hui herself was not much better, her hair was piled up in strands behind her head, dripping from it.

"I always thought you had a better temper than I did, but it's scary enough that you get angry."

“…”

"Who do you think I am when you say you have the wrong person?"

“…Cheng Qirang.”

He squinted at her, and after a moment said, "If you want to talk about what happened between you and him, I'malllears."

She shakes her head.

"I don't want to say it, and I don't force it." His watch beeped, and he took a bottle of medicine out of his pocket, poured a pill into his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "Anyway, you hate him for that, I got it."

“…”

"But there's one thing I don't understand, since I hate him so much, why do I have to go back to Guanchao to go to work?" Unconsciously, his tone was sarcastic again, "Why, I'm not happy selling shoes. ?"

"Cheng Qirang threatened to fire my team."

She paused, seeing that he didn't seem to understand, and added: "The R&D team of GS1.0."

"Your subordinates are still worried about not being able to find a job?"

"Don't worry, but now is not the right time. A few people's homes are in trouble and need stable income. Besides, the GS project is developed by us, and we want to upgrade this product to a more complete version. I have come up with a lot of ideas and solutions. If I leave now, it will fall into the hands of others, and I don't know what it will look like in the end. It may be destroyed, or it may be replaced by other products. I don't want to. It's this ending."

"So you stoned people?" He shook his head. "Fortunately it's me, you'll have to go to jail for him, you know?"

She was also too hot to think about it, and now she is a little scared when she thinks about it, she nodded and said, "Got it."

"There's a Mall in front, go buy some clothes, you're soaking wet," he said.

The Mall is the most expensive shopping center in Ben Thanh. There are many international luxury brands. Min Hui usually likes to go shopping. On her birthday, Zhou Ruji bought a few clothes and shoes for her here, knowing that she always saved and didn't say the price. One Christmas event, Min Hui was dragged by Cao Mu to buy a small Gucci bag. He was laughed at for a long time by Cao Mu, who bought at least two bags every year.

"No need," she said quickly, "just change it when I get home."

"My clothes are also dirty." Xin Qi said, "Let's have a meal in the Mall, I'll ask the driver to go back and pick us up in another car. It's your visit time tonight, right?"

She nodded.

"Su Quan's painting teacher took a group of children to the exhibition, and didn't come back until eight o'clock."

Min Hui looked at his blood-stained collar obediently, nodded apologetically and said, "Okay, let's go shopping. By the way, I'll buy you a white shirt."

***

He took her directly to Dior.

Min Hui knows that financial people pay more attention to dress, so she can only bite the bullet and walk in. The cashier came over enthusiastically and asked, "You two, do you need help?"

"I want to buy him a white shirt," she said, pointing to Xin Qi, "just like this one."

Xin Qi said: "I want the same style."

As soon as she took off her suit jacket, the lady in the counter hurriedly said, "Yo, the jacket is wet, can I take it in for you and iron it?"

"Ok, thank you."

The counter lady handed the suit to a girl, turned around and said, "We just have the white shirt of your little bee, can I get you one of the same size?"

"Well. You can pick some clothes for her, as well as shoes." Xin Qi said.

"Okay." The counter lady is well-trained and respectful but not flattering. "This lady has a great figure. We have a rose-print dress here, which is especially suitable for her."

Min Hui picked left and right, and finally picked a cotton and linen blended T-shirt and a printed long skirt. There was no price on it. She weighed it in her heart and felt that this was the cheapest. Under the strong recommendation of the teller, she bought another pair of shoes, thinking that the bonus from last month has not been spent, so please reward yourself.

Walking to the front desk, took out the bank card and was about to pay, Xin Qi said lightly: "I'll come."

"No no no, I'll come, I'll come!" After saying that, he put the credit card Xin Qi took out and put it back into his hand.

Seeing her rushing to pay, Xin Qi and the cabinet sister were stunned at the same time.

Min Hui also took a deep breath. The seemingly inconspicuous items together add up to more than 80,000 yuan...

"If you must give me a white shirt, just pay for the white shirt." Xin Qi had to say.

That one piece is more than 7,000 yuan! Min Hui murmured in her heart, but she said, "No! I'll just come. I paid a large bonus last month and haven't spent it yet."

"In this case—" Xin Qi raised his brows, "Why don't I help you spend it, I need a dozen of this shirt."

"A dozen then."

Min Hui decided to carry out the generosity to the end. The counter lady smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, we don't have a dozen, this size is only five pieces. The rest will be transferred from other warehouses. You can leave an address and it will be delivered in about two or three days. Is that okay?"

"Yes." Min Hui thought to herself: She spent more than this amount on Chen Jiajun. Xin Qi is Su Tian's boyfriend and should be treated equally. Don't think about saving just because he is richer. What's more, all the living expenses, education expenses, and accommodation expenses of Su Quan are paid by Xin Qi at present, and it is also reasonable to buy him some good shirts.

Min Hui paid the money and went to the locker room to take off all the wet clothes and put on new clothes. When they came out, seeing that the blood on Xin Qi's face had finally stopped, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them went to the western restaurant on the third floor with large and small bags.

I don't want the business of the western restaurant to be bad. There are very few customers. All the dishes were ordered in less than ten minutes.

"That's right," Xin Qi suddenly remembered something, and said while dipping the beef in the sauce, "I sent you and Jia Jun a box of cantaloupe, which will arrive in the next two days. You can taste it. ."

Min Hui was surprised. Now is the season to eat cantaloupe. There are many sold in Bencheng.

"I planted it."

Min Hui thought he was joking.

"Remember that time in Mingshui County? I took a fancy to a local cantaloupe garden?"

Min Hui remembered: "Just the 30 acres of land...plus a two-story house?"

"I bought it."

"When?"

"A few years ago, I hired a melon farmer to teach me how to grow melons."

It's getting more and more bizarre, Min Hui smiled and said, "You're so busy, how do you have time to do this?"

"I don't go every day. I hired a few people to help me take care of it. When it's critical, I go to live for a few days and work in the orchard. These melons are all natural, no pesticides, and no sweeteners. All You should also like to eat."

She looked at him and smiled silently: "Xin Qi, sometimes I think you are very confusing."

"The same goes for you." He said lightly, "The first time I saw you four years ago, it was one color. When I met you again in Ben Thanh, it was another color. The you just now was another color. A color. Which color are you?"

"I was the real me just now. I have a bad temper and like to be real. We are actually very similar."

"How do you know what character I am?"

"I don't know, just surmise from the way you behave in front of me-"

"That's what I let you know on purpose. You don't know the part that I don't let you know."

"I agree. For example, why do you want to grow cantaloupe, I don't know."

"Because I think my parents might be melon farmers."

"That's not necessarily true? You weren't found in a melon field."

"When I was a child, I often dreamed that I was playing in a cantaloupe field." His thoughts drifted away, "Actually, I should have suspected you long ago. Su Tian knew this dream, she said that my parents asked me to dream of it, They probably grew melons."

“…”

"Su Tian didn't mention it in his diary, so you don't know. If you are really Su Tian, ​​you won't be surprised to hear about Gua Yuan."

"Would you like to go get some blood?" Min Hui suddenly said, "The comparison of NDA data is very fast now. Your biological parents may be looking for you, and you may not have been abandoned. The note beside me may be forged..."

“No.”

"In one's life, one or two relatives are always good."

"I have Su Tian, ​​Jia Jun, and a son." His eyes softened, "It's you, your parents are dead, you have a stubborn temper, and you are very tired?"

"I'm not tired. I also have many relatives: Jia Jun, Su Quan, Zhou Ruji - I also have an enemy, which makes my life happier."

"If Su Tian were alive, she would be happy for you." He couldn't help sighing.

She suddenly laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"We mentioned Su Tian but we didn't quarrel - this seems to be the first time." Min Hui said, "I'll treat you to this meal."

"Then you really spent a fortune today."

***

The driver changed cars to take them back to Qingteng Garden's apartment, which was empty and Su Quan had not yet returned home.

"Do you mind if I take a shower first?" Xin Qi asked, "I seem to have a **** smell on my body."

"I don't mind."

He took two clothes and went to the bathroom. After a while, he washed them out. The upper body was a white T and the lower body was a pair of loose cropped trousers. The blood on his face had completely stopped, but the glass Scratches are still noticeable.

Min Hui said, "Sit down, I will use a Band-Aid to help you stick the wound on your face."

He sat on the sofa according to the words, she stood in front of him, holding his face, first cleaned the wound with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, and then cut the Band-Aid into the size of a thumbtack and attached it to the wound one by one.

They are very close together, and he has a nice scent of body wash. She could see the white scalp on his hairline. Her fingertips flicked lightly from his face and eyebrows like a feather. She had probably read a book recently, and it smelled of ink.

She began to sweat for some reason: "Xin Qi."

"Huh?"

"I want to have sex."

“What?”

"Please don't have any psychological burden." She said, "I'm in a safe period now."

"NO."

"I just bought you twelve shirts."

"NO."

"I've always liked you."

"NO."

"Of course it's a pity you missed Su Tian. It's a pity you missed me too."

"You're right, it's a pity. But—" he looked at her with piercing eyes, "it would be unforgivable if I missed my promise."
