Chapter 156: Snow is Clear
Chapter 156: Snow is Clear
Midnight, afterwards. Normally, it should be easy to fall asleep, but the emotional fluctuations were too great, and the time spent together was precious. Zhu Xia felt that her body seemed unwilling to fall asleep.
She was in He Lianzhou's arms, hugged tightly by him, and felt a little lazy.
The moonlight was dim, the street lights in Yangri Residence were still on, and the orange light beside the bed was warm and cozy.
Zhu Xia gently sniffed the man's scent, raised her head, and saw his clear and strong jawline.
He Lianzhou lifted his eyelids slightly and looked down at her. When their eyes met, Zhu Xia spoke first: "Let me go first, I'll get the phone."
The arm on her waist moved away, and she pressed her elbows on the bed sheet to support her body and reach the phone on the bedside. The nightgown she was wearing was the one she wore when they had a video call last time. He said he had never seen her wearing it before. The two silky straps hung on her shoulders, as if tempting people to bite them off...
Zhu Xia lay back on the bed, held in He Lianzhou's arms, the faint light from the cell phone screen illuminating her face.
The media broke the news one after another, and she hardly looked at her phone. Now she is in the mood and leisure to check it out.
Wen Shujia asked her on WeChat how she was doing. As an actress, Wen Shujia knew that the media often made up stories and made groundless accusations, and she never even asked about the Hong Kong media.
After Zhu Xia replied to her message, she clicked on the social software and saw Wen Shujia's updates defending her, and she couldn't help but smile.
"Do you still remember Sister Shujia?" Zhu Xia looked up and asked him.
He Lianzhou looked at her with drooping eyelids. The moment they looked at each other, Zhu Xia knew that he didn't remember.
"On your 23rd birthday, Sister Shujia came to London and I stayed with her for a few days."
He Lianzhou remembered. It was his birthday, and he turned down work and a bunch of friends and relatives, thinking of spending it with his girlfriend, but she left him to be with another woman.
Zhu Xia said: "Sister Shujia got married a few years ago. It was a business marriage. The other party was the eldest son of the Qi family in Beijing. He was a very handsome man."
He Lianzhou listened to her.
"After they got married, they treated each other with respect and were considered a famous model couple in the circle. When Sister Shujia went to the mountains to film a movie, Mr. Qi heard that there was a kissing scene and went to follow the crew. But when he got to the scene, he found that it was just a kiss on the forehead." Zhu Xia laughed.
"The forehead is not okay either." He Lianzhou tightened his arms and touched her ear with his lips.
Zhu Xia blinked, realizing that he was referring to her.
She turned off her phone, stuffed it under her pillow, shrunk into his arms, put her face against his chest and said, "I bought a ticket for You Feng on the same flight. Do you think he will come back with me?"
He Lianzhou didn't really want to mention other men, but he still answered her question: "Yes."
"Really?" Zhu Xia asked.
"You know how to buy him a plane ticket, why don't you buy one for me?" he asked back.
Zhu Xia was stunned for a moment, then buried her head in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "You don't need it."
"Yes." He Lianzhou reached out and rubbed her hair, speaking concisely.
Zhu Xia stopped talking.
He Lianzhou tightened his arms again and hugged the girl he had lost and found again.
Her breathing gradually became steady, and she soon fell into a deep sleep, but he could not fall asleep for a long time...
The morning light was dim, and a faint light came in through the gaps in the curtains. Zhu Xia opened her eyes and woke up. She felt empty beside her. She reached out her hand from under the quilt and felt the place next to her. It was still warm.
Zhu Xia turned over twice, rolled around, got up from the bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up. She stood in front of the washbasin, looking at the toiletries that did not belong to her, a little dazed, and her heart tightened.
Although He Lianzhou's various residences had her things, this was different from having his things in her place.
Zhu Xia washed up, changed her clothes and walked out of the room. The aroma of coffee filled her nose. She walked over and saw that the man had hung up the phone. There was a Western breakfast and steaming coffee on the dining table.
Seeing that Zhu Xia didn't move, He Lianzhou took three or two steps closer and led her to the dining table, "Have a simple meal."
Zhu Xia nodded. She picked up the toast and took a bite. The bacon and fried eggs inside were delicious. She chewed it with great satisfaction.
Zhu Xia didn't let Lin Jiayue take her this time. If You Feng went back with her, it might be a bit awkward. And Lin Jiayue attended a banquet last night. She probably went to bed very late last night and couldn't wake up in the morning.
She sent a message to the moon, and when she saw no reply after a while, she knew that the moon was not awake.
Zhu Xia ate some yogurt and nuts, then sent a message to You Feng, asking him what was going on, but the madman didn't reply.
She simply ignored it.
After breakfast, Zhu Xia packed his luggage and just took out the things inside... Overnight, he changed his mind and realized that there was no need to take many things with him.
As soon as He Lianzhou entered the room, he saw her kneeling on the carpet, leaning forward, sorting the clothes in the suitcase.
The curtains were all drawn open, and the morning light shone on the girl, as if she was coated with a layer of brilliant golden light. She leaned forward, the necklace on her neck fell, and a ring reflected a tiny light.
"Go ahead and do your work. You don't have to send me off." Zhu Xia clapped her hands, stood up and looked at him. "I'll call you when I get there."
He Lianzhou raised his hand, hooked the necklace around her neck, and looked at the ring on it.
She said nothing and just looked at him quietly.
Finally, Zhu Xia got on the car of Chen Shao's special assistant and headed to Hong Kong International Airport. Before boarding the plane, she turned on her phone. Lin Jiayue woke up, replied to her message, and then fell asleep again. You Feng was still silent.
In the first-class cabin of the plane, Zhu Xia leaned back in a comfortable chair and sent a message to He Lianzhou saying that she was on the plane. Suddenly, a shadow fell beside her and enveloped her. Zhu Xia looked up, her eyes slightly surprised.
"Zhu Yingtai, I thought you were happy in your hometown and reluctant to go back." You Feng sat down and said slowly.
"I'm not you." Zhu Xia propped up her chin with her palm, "I'm afraid to go home."
You Feng rarely refuted and asked, "How are you and Boss He doing?"
"That's it." Zhu Xia thought for a moment and condemned him, "You are so disloyal."
Not only did he not save her, he also watched the show. I have never seen such a heartless old father.
You Feng raised his chin and said casually, "Who will you help if Boss He and I fight?"
"Nonsense." Zhu Xia said immediately, and it was obvious that he was asking a question even though he knew the answer.
"That's it. I can't beat you, and I won't help you. The chances of winning are slim, and only a fool would go and die." You Feng said.
The plane was ready, Zhu Xia switched his phone mode to flight mode and closed his eyes to rest.
It had just snowed in Beijing, and the city was covered in white. The red palace walls were covered with white snow, and the cold wind was bleak and freezing. Zhu Xia put on her coat and scarf as soon as she got off the plane. Lao Xu came to pick her up, and Zhu Xia and You Feng said goodbye at the airport gate.
She didn't ask him about his future plans. Now that he was back, he wouldn't back down.
Zhu Xia raised her hand to press down the warm and soft scarf, revealing her chin.
She stopped where she was and looked into the distance.
The sky is clear and the air is bright, and the snow is clearly visible.
