Chapter 13 The Distance Between Two Hearts 1
That night, Liang Xiaodi had a dream.
In her dream, she fell into the sea, the salty sea water kept pouring into her mouth, she struggled hard as she couldn't swim. Xiao Yunfei stood on the shore and looked at her with a smile, but tears were streaming down her face. She opened her mouth and said three words.
She said to Liang Xiaodi, I hate you.
Liang Xiaodi woke up from a nightmare, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.
The next morning, accompanied by the morning light, Liang Xiaodi came to the company early.
As soon as she stepped into the office, she saw Xiao Yunfei packing up her things at her desk with red eyes. Hearing footsteps, Xiao Yunfei also raised her head. The moment their eyes met, they turned their heads away at the same time as if they had agreed.
The colleagues around them looked at them curiously, but no one dared to ask anything.
After entering her office, Liang Xiaodi turned around and saw the resignation letter lying on He Weining's desk. On the envelope were three words clearly written: Xiao Yunfei.
Liang Xiaodi felt mixed emotions. She thought she would be happy to see the end of the bad guy. But in fact, she felt sad and upset. The person she trusted was the one who hurt her the most. Liang Xiaodi felt this chilling and painful feeling. Even so, she couldn't hate someone, because Xiao Yunfei was really good to her.
Liang Xiaodi couldn't control herself because of her complicated feelings. She looked through the crack in the door and fell on Xiao Yunfei again. Xiao Yunfei had a lot of things, boxes and boxes on the table. One person couldn't carry them all. Everyone looked at her and whispered, but no one was willing to help her. She was so tired that her face was red. It took her a long time to move the things to the corridor.
Liang Xiaodi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and walked up to her and picked up the box on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Yunfei's voice suddenly rose in pitch. She grabbed Liang Xiaodi with hostility in her eyes.
"Let me help you." Liang Xiaodi pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly.
"Help me?" Xiao Yunfei raised the corner of her mouth and sneered, "I think you want to laugh at me!"
Liang Xiaodi was furious: "We used to be friends, so I'm helping you. I'm not the kind of person who would kick someone when he's down!"
The voice echoed in the corridor, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in Xiao Yunfei's eyes. Suddenly, she smiled, and her smile was filled with sadness.
"But I can't be your friend."
After that, she held her head high and walked forward without looking back. Looking at her leaving figure, Liang Xiaodi knew that she had lost this friend forever.
Because of this incident, Liang Xiaodi was in a low mood for several days and was completely out of shape. He Weining was very worried as he watched her getting thinner and thinner.
"Being hurt by a friend is something that can't be healed by just comforting others." Lu Zheng said vaguely while chewing an apple.
He Weining heard him say this and raised his eyebrows and said, "You seem to understand a lot."
"That's not the case." Lu Zheng chuckled, "But I know more about girls' minds than you do." He raised his hand and the apple core fell into the trash can. Lu Zheng patted He Weining's shoulder and said, "In my opinion, you should give her a few days off, let her have fun and relax. When she is in a good mood, she will naturally stop thinking about those troubles."
What Lu Zheng said made sense. After thinking about it, He Weining readily agreed.
The idea was set, and he told Liang Xiaodi about it the next day. Liang Xiaodi was surprised and delighted, and rushed over to hold his face, shouting: "Oh my God! Are you really He Weining? Let me check it out!"
He Weining pushed her against the wall with his backhand, a sly smile on his face: "How do you want to test it, huh?"
Liang Xiaodi's momentum suddenly withered, and He Weining took the opportunity to kiss her lips. Liang Xiaodi was powerless to resist, and was "molested" by him several times before he was willing to stop.
After a while of crazy fun in the office, He Weining buried himself in work again, while Liang Xiaodi held her face and began to think about how to spend a wonderful holiday with him. I heard that an oceanarium has opened in City X recently. Do you want to go there? Or go eat hot pot together. He has said many times that he will take me to eat that super delicious hot pot!
"How are you going to spend the next few days?" Liang Xiaodi came close to him, biting her lip, and looked at He Weining's focused profile with anticipation.
He Weining paused tapping on the keyboard, turned around, and said in confusion: "Me?"
"Aren't you going to come with me...?" Liang Xiaodi's smile faded, and the flame of expectation in her eyes also weakened a lot.
"I've been quite busy lately and I have to accompany Lu Zheng for dialysis, so..." He Weining frowned subconsciously.
So that's how it is... Liang Xiaodi laughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"It's okay! I can go by myself! You stay with him, I... I'm going shopping for clothes! If you go with me, you might get bored to death!"
He Weining reached out and pinched her face, his eyes full of apology: "Then I'll ask you to take good care of my girlfriend these days."
Although feeling a little disappointed, Liang Xiaodi still raised the corner of her mouth and nodded obediently.
Alas, if she had known that He Weining had no time to accompany her, she might as well not have taken this vacation. Going shopping alone, watching movies alone, eating alone, sitting on a park bench alone and watching the sunset slowly set, it was really more boring than she had imagined. During this period, He Weining called her, but she didn't hear it on the way. When she called back, He Weining was taking Lu Zheng to dialysis. He said a few words and hung up.
"So you spent the first day of the holiday alone?" Song Yan's voice rose by one decibel.
"Yeah..." Liang Xiaodi was cooking noodles while talking on the phone listlessly.
"He's your boyfriend, why would he let you live alone? Even though he's very busy, but..."
"He has been taking care of his brother. They have a good relationship, so it's understandable!"
"Okay, if he doesn't want to accompany you, then I will!" Song Yan said righteously.
Liang Xiaodi picked up the noodles and sneered: "You? Why are you accompanying me? Did you fly back from Australia?"
"It is said that a girl's IQ is 0 when she is in love, but I think you are a lot smarter! I have a few days off here and plan to go back to visit my country. I happen to be transiting in City X, so I can come and see you!" Song Yan answered with a smile, and it didn't sound like he was joking at all.
"Really?" Liang Xiaodi suddenly put down the spoon, surprised and happy, "You are not lying to me?"
"How could I lie to you! I'll arrive at 3pm the day after tomorrow. Will you come pick me up?"
"Come on!" Liang Xiaodi paused, then smiled happily as if she had suddenly thought of something, "The day after tomorrow night, He Weining and I will treat you to dinner!"
Many times, Liang Xiaodi felt that she was a fool...
As the saying goes, once words are spoken, they can be spilled... Why did she suddenly decide to take He Weining to see Song Yan? Song Yan and he had such a deep grudge in the game. If these two sat face to face, would they really fight?
Ahhh…so annoying!
She was pacing in the bedroom holding her cell phone, when He Weining suddenly called.
"Weining." Liang Xiaodi was a little nervous and her palms were sweating.
"Why does your voice sound a little hoarse? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" He Weining's voice was as gentle as ever.
"No...I'm fine." She smiled foolishly, thinking about how to bring up the matter of Song Yan.
"When you called me today, Lu Zheng was undergoing dialysis." He Weining explained again vaguely.
"Yeah, I know." Liang Xiaodi changed her hand to hold the phone.
"Did you have fun today? You didn't stay at home all the time, did you?" He Weining asked with a chuckle.
"I won't waste my good vacation at home. I had a lot of fun today!"
"That's good."
"I would be happier if you could come and accompany me." Liang Xiaodi lowered her voice. Although she was not face to face with him, her cheeks turned red involuntarily.
"I want to, but I really can't spare the time these days." He Weining sighed, his tone full of pampering.
"There must be time for that meal, right?"
"a meal?"
"My friend Song Yan came to see me, the one who was bullying me... I told him that I would take you with me when I invited him to dinner, and you..."
"Okay." He Weining answered happily.
"You, you don't mind?" Liang Xiaodi opened her mouth in surprise.
"Why should you mind? Since he is your friend, he is also mine. Do you think I would hold a grudge against someone just because of something in the game?"
Hearing the words coming from the other end of the phone, Liang Xiaodi's heart finally fell down. The original disappointment was replaced by He Weining's promise, and she felt indescribably good. Now that everything has been decided, the only thing left is to book a restaurant in accordance with Song Yan's schedule. Thinking of this, Liang Xiaodi immediately got busy.
The hotel was finally arranged at a famous scenic restaurant in City X. The environment here is elegant and the food is excellent. On that day, as soon as the two of them left the airport, they went straight to the hotel.
"I've invested a lot of money this time! What do you think, I'm a good friend, right?" Liang Xiaodi started to act arrogantly as soon as he saw Song Yan.
"Wow, this restaurant is definitely not cheap!" Song Yan exclaimed. After taking a look around, he said pretentiously, "Seeing that you are living better than me, I feel relieved!"
"Oh, stop being so poor! Keep your mouth open and sing for us!"
"Still singing?"
"You've come here with great difficulty, so of course you should play for a while longer!"
Song Yan frowned: "My singing is not good, it would be bad if I scared your He Weining!"
Hearing the words "your family", Liang Xiaodi blushed, rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense!"
"You're blushing! I've known you for so many years, but I've rarely seen you blush!"
"Shut up!" Liang Xiaodi couldn't bear it anymore and threw the menu in his face.
The old friends were very noisy when they met, and they were joking and laughing in the restaurant. Time ticked by, and when he looked at the watch again, it was almost 6 o'clock, and Song Yan's stomach had begun to growl.
"Hey, when will he come? If he doesn't come, I'll starve to death..."
Liang Xiaodi ignored him and started calling He Weining, but the call couldn't go through. Liang Xiaodi's irritation turned into worry, and she couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to He Weining.
"He's such a grown-up, he'll be fine." Song Yan held his stomach and swallowed.
Liang Xiaodi rolled her eyes at him unhappily and was about to speak when the phone rang.
"Hello, where are you? Is something wrong?" Her voice was filled with anxiety when she saw the familiar name displayed on the screen.
"I'm fine, don't worry." The voice on the other end was surprisingly calm.
"Xiao Di, I'm sorry, I can't go to see your friend tonight." He Weining's voice was full of fatigue. "Lu Zheng's condition suddenly worsened. I have been by his side since the meeting. Now he is unconscious, and I have to stay with him."
"Unconscious?" Liang Xiaodi's heart sank, and her breathing quickened. "Then, then you stay with him. Don't worry about me. I will treat Song Yan well!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this kind of emergency."
"It's okay, it's really okay..." Liang Xiaodi wanted to give him a comforting smile, but her expression was stiff.
At this time, on the other side of the city, He Weining stood in front of the French window. He thought of Liang Xiaodi's forced smile, turned around, and his eyes stayed on the unconscious Lu Zheng. He sighed and whispered, "Xiaodi, I'm sorry."
"If apologies work, what's the point of having police?"
Daoming Si's noisy voice could be heard on TV. Liang Xiaodi, who had just sent Song Yan away and returned home, sat on the sofa listlessly, with a dull expression, and He Weining's "I'm sorry" repeated over and over in her mind.
Can just saying sorry make a sad person happy?
No, "I'm sorry" is the cruelest word in the world. It will only make people who are already sad even sadder.
She just wanted her friend to share her happiness. Although she knew that Lu Zheng's matter was more important, she still couldn't stop feeling sad...
Song Yan was right. People are always greedy. Before they get love, a look from the other person is enough to make them dance with joy. But after they get it, even a grain of sand will make them unable to sleep.
Liang Xiaodi, ah Liang Xiaodi, you are more greedy than I thought.
Subconsciously raising a bitter smile, she picked up the remote control and turned off the TV. Even if she was depressed, even if she felt ignored, she had already agreed that she would love him no matter what, and always love him.
Tomorrow, I will love you more than today.
So, Liang Xiaodi, put away all your complaints and hold tight to the happiness in your hands.
Lu Zheng woke up the next morning.
Hearing the news, Liang Xiaodi immediately became alert, washed up quickly and rushed to the supermarket. She bought a lot of food and daily necessities, and took a taxi to the hospital where Lu Zheng was staying.
When he saw Liang Xiaodi, He Weining was obviously stunned.
"Why are you here?" He Weining took the thing from her hand, surprise in his eyes.
