After a long pause, there was no reply from the other side of the phone. I didn't hang up either. I guessed he was thinking about what to tell me. After a while, Duanmu Que finally said, "You can do whatever you want. I can't control your thoughts. If you don't want to come back, then do as you wish. I have something to do, so I'll hang up first." Before I could say anything, Duanmu Que had already hung up the phone. I laughed coldly, and finally couldn't control my tears from flowing down.
For the next three or four days, I stayed at home. I didn't even want to go to the garden. My mother looked at me, her eyes blurred every day. She didn't seem to care about me at all. In the past few days, other than Xinyao and Han Hao who occasionally called to chat with me, no one else contacted me. Time had smoothed out my heartache, and my heart gradually calmed down. Maybe Duanmu Que was getting farther and farther away from me. Or maybe he didn't love me that much anymore. He didn't treat me as his own life anymore.
On the weekend morning, the sun was especially bright. I decided not to laze around at home. I freshened up and went out for a walk. I asked Xin Yao to meet me at the entrance of the shopping center. It just so happened that our favorite brand was on sale. It would be convenient for me to ask her about Duanmu Que's recent situation.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the shopping center, I saw Xin Yao standing not far from me, waiting for me. I smiled and walked towards her. When she saw me, she ran up to me and threw herself into my arms. It was her usual greeting. After hugging me for a while, she held my arm and began our shopping trip.
As we walked, we talked about what had happened in the past few days. I looked at Xin Yao and asked, "How's your brother?"
"Sister-in-law, I knew you missed my brother very much. Ever since you left, he has been going out early and coming home late every day. Sometimes when I call him, he says that he is very busy and ignores me. I don't know if he is really busy or just pretending to be busy."
I nodded thoughtfully. "Oh."
"Aiya, Sister-in-law, please forgive my brother. You care about him a lot, don't you? He's a straightforward boy. Sometimes, he doesn't think before he speaks. After you left, he regretted it a lot. So, please don't lower yourself to his level, okay? "Xin Yao shook my arm and mischievously acted cute.
I smiled and stroked Xinyao's hair, softly saying to her, "Silly girl, let me think about it."
"Okay, you don't need to worry about my brother. You just need to think about mom and dad, and think about me. You can treat my brother as air." Xin Yao smiled and nodded vigorously.
We shopped for a long time and bought a lot of things. When it was almost time for dinner, Xin Yao said she wanted to treat me to a big meal. She took me to a Western restaurant on the top floor of the shopping center. We found a window seat and sat down. Xin Yao ordered a table full of sumptuous dishes. Then, she began to tell me about the things that had happened between her and Han Hao. Xin Yao didn't hold back anything from me. She shared all of her innermost thoughts with me. It showed how much she trusted me. Of course, I also trusted her. I knew she wasn't a girl with bad intentions. She wouldn't harm me. She just wanted everyone around her to live a good life.
Just as we were chatting passionately, the restaurant's door was pushed open. A tinkling laughter sounded. A woman walked into the restaurant with a man's arm. The woman was smiling happily, but the man had a serious expression and didn't pay attention to her. I glanced at them and froze. The man wasn't just anyone, he was Duanmu Que.
After seeing them, I turned my head away. My heart was very uncomfortable, and my heart was beating very fast. I used my arm to cover the side of my face, afraid they would see me. Xin Yao saw my strange behavior. She looked at me and asked in a soft voice, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
I shook my head and smiled at her. "Hurry up and eat. After we finish eating, we can go shopping."
Just as I lowered my head and hurried to finish eating and leave, the laughter got closer and closer. I heard the woman say, "Let's sit here." I didn't dare to raise my head. I was afraid to look at Duanmu Que's face. I was afraid that the two of us would be embarrassed.
"Brother? Why are you here? " Xin Yao saw Duanmu Que. She stood up and greeted Duanmu Que. "Brother, who is this woman?"
The woman's voice was full of dissatisfaction. She said to Xin Yao, "And who are you? Why are you calling our family's Young Master Que so affectionately? "
"Brother! What do you mean by this? Who is this woman? "Xin Yao was angry. She pointed at the woman and asked Duanmu Que.
As soon as I saw that the situation wasn't good, I stood up and pulled Xinyao to leave. But I didn't expect that when I turned around, I would bump into Duanmu Que. I lost my center of gravity and fell onto the chair. My eyes met Duanmu Que's shocked expression. Seeing that I had fallen, Duanmu Que grabbed my arm and pulled me up from the chair. He held me in his arms and then looked at me and said, "Why are you here?"
When the woman saw that Duanmu Que was hugging me, she became even more unhappy. She used all her strength to pull at Duanmu Que's arm that was hugging me. She muttered, "Let her go. You can't hug her. How is she better than me? Let her go."
Duanmu Que didn't let go. He let the woman tear at his clothes. His eyes were fixed on me. I sighed and pushed Duanmu Que's arm away. Then I picked up the bag on the chair and looked at Xin Yao. "Xin Yao, let's go."
Xin Yao glared at the woman. Then she looked at Duanmu Que and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go!" Then she pulled me and walked past Duanmu Que.
Duanmu Que suddenly grabbed my arm from behind. "Don't go!" he said. His tone was still tough. I didn't do anything, but why did it sound like I had made a big mistake?
I tried my best to hold back my tears. I turned my head towards Duanmu Que and said, "Let me go. Your date is waiting for you. I'm sorry for interrupting your date with her." I pushed away Duanmu Que's hand that was holding mine and turned around to continue walking.
At this moment, the woman suddenly rushed in front of me and Xin Yao. "Stop! Did I allow you to leave? "Xin Yao was very angry. She reached out to hit the woman, but I pulled her arm to stop her from being impulsive.
When the woman saw that Xin Yao was about to hit her, she was flustered and exasperated. She reached out and slapped me across the face. Before I could react, Duanmu Que had already rushed in front of me. He held me in his arms and slapped the woman across the face.
