"What is it?" Shuxin was instantly energized and sat up from the sofa.
"The trick of injuring yourself to gain sympathy."
Shuxin was confused. "What do you mean? Be more specific."
"I don't want to eat or drink, I'm so haggard because of her." Tong Qiao said in a genteel manner.
Shuxin still did not quite understand. "That's what I'm like now. So what?"
"That's not enough." Tong Qiao rolled her watery eyes. "Pretend to be sick. You'll be able to gain sympathy when you're sick. Think about it. Your dad will be heartbroken to see you so haggard and sick. Then, when you're sick, you can call Huo Yanqing's name. That way, your dad's heart will soften and he will agree to you two being together."
Shuxin frowned. "Will this … work?"
"Based on how much your dad loves you, there's an 80% chance of success. But it depends on your acting."
Shuxin looked down and pondered for a moment. She was a little hesitant. "Isn't it a bad idea to lie to my dad like this?"
"This isn't called lying. This is a white lie. As long as you can be happy with Huo Yanqing in the future, I believe your dad won't blame you."
…
The weather for the past few days was just like Shuxin's mood. It was gloomy and it kept raining.
Shuxin got off the bus and was about to open the umbrella when she remembered Tong Qiao's words. She paused and put the umbrella away the next second. How could pretending to be sick make it look real?
Shuxin walked home from the bus stop in the rain. Then, she hid the umbrella in the bushes in front of the door.
When Cao Guifang saw Shuxin enter the door, she hurriedly got up and greeted her with a worried expression. "Didn't I get you an umbrella this morning? Why are you so wet? "
Shuxin heard Cao Guifang's worried tone and felt a little guilty. She lowered her head and did not dare to look into her eyes. "I left it at the office."
"Go upstairs and take a hot shower. Don't catch a cold."
"Okay." Shuxin saw that her shoes were wet, so she didn't change them. She walked all the way upstairs, leaving a line of water on the ground.
Shuxin went into the bathroom after returning to the bedroom. She turned on the shower and turned the water into cold water. After taking a cold shower, Shuxin changed into clean clothes and came out. She didn't feel any discomfort. She didn't even sneeze. Could it be that taking a cold shower in the summer wouldn't make one sick? Or was her body too healthy?
Shuxin was a little disappointed. She closed the door and locked it. As usual, she lay on the bed and dialed Huo Yanqing's number.
The phone rang once before it was picked up. "You're home?"
Huo Yanqing's deep and magnetic voice seemed to have a penetrating power. It was tinged with concern and directly knocked on her heart, causing her heart to ache a little. "Okay."
The other end was silent for a few seconds. "What are you doing?"
"I miss you."
"…"
"Did you miss me?"
"Mm."
Shuxin turned around and lay on the bed. She looked through the window at the pitter-patter of rain outside. She felt even more depressed. Her mind was filled with Huo Yanqing's handsome face. At this moment, she missed him like a tidal wave.
She missed the clean and pleasant smell of his body. She missed his fragrant kiss with a hint of bitter tobacco taste. She missed the doting smile at the corners of his mouth when he stroked her hair …
Her heart ached terribly.
Shuxin turned her head sideways and rested her head on her arm. There was something wet dripping down. She reached out to touch it and realized that she was crying. How embarrassing.
"Yanqing, are you done?" A familiar male voice came from the other end of the phone. It wasn't Huo Yanqing.
Shuxin asked, "Are you very busy?"
"Tingxi is here. There are some clues about the resort."
"Oh."
"Are you crying?"
"… No."
