The midday sun shines in through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the crystal cups and knives and forks on the table reflect the dazzling light.

The temperature in the private room gradually increased. Chengze took off his coat and put it on the back of the stool next to him. Then he took out a cigarette and lighter from his coat pocket. Before he could smoke out a cigarette, he was stopped by Xia Tian.

.

"No smoking here."

Chengze let out a dissatisfied breath, frowned and threw them on the table with the same force as Xia Tian threw the fork just now.

The two of them were speechless, with vague anger on their faces.

After a while, Xia Tian couldn't bear the dull feeling of worry, so he stood up.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Chengze said suddenly.

Xia Tian's heart trembled, feeling like he was suddenly weightless on a roller coaster.

This may be caused by guilt. What is Chengze's fault in this whole thing?

"Why are you apologizing?" Xia Tian asked unreasonably.

"How do I know what I did wrong? Da Fei told me that if you want to make peace with your girlfriend after a quarrel, you have to admit your mistake. Don't worry about where you were wrong, and don't worry about whether you were really wrong. Just apologize and that's it.

" Chengze said angrily, what was revealed in his eyes was a plea for reconciliation.

"We didn't quarrel, nor were we lovers." Xia Tian had already come to the door and opened the latch.

"I know you want to work and save money to redeem the bracelet, but that old fox got a high-quality product so easily that he won't sell it to you again." In order to keep Xia Tian, ​​Chengze showed his cards.

"What did you say?" Xia Tian hurriedly sat back, "You went..."

"I will never lose something that belongs to me." Narita held his chin in one hand, brushing away the previous gloom and staring at Xia Tian mischievously.

"You mean you went..." Xia Tian couldn't believe it, he meant that he went to the mobile home and met the buyer.

Facing Xia Tian's surprised expression, Cheng Ze proudly put his hand into his coat pocket and took out a golden bracelet.

"How did you..." Xia Tian no longer knew what to say.

"I bought it myself. I gave it to you. How can you wear it on someone else's hand?" Chengze placed the bracelet in front of Xia Tian.

Xia Tian moved back, pressed his back against the back of the chair, stared at the bracelet for a while, and said softly: "This thing no longer belongs to me, and I will not resign. I will pay you back the money."

Chengze said: "This is your thing, look inside the bracelet."

Xia Tian suddenly became curious. He said before that the bracelets had their names engraved on them. What did they look like?

He gently picked up the bracelet and looked inside under the strong sunlight. The name of the craftsman was engraved on the interface. After turning it slightly, he saw qz?xt.

Xia Tian showed a puzzled expression, she didn't know what qz meant.

Upon seeing this, Chengze explained: "My mother's surname is Qiu. After changing my name, my name will be Qiu Ze."

"oh."

Xia Tian had never found a declaration of love engraved in it before. This love was fragile and heavy. She couldn't bear to hurt Chengze's fragile heart, let alone bear such heavy shackles.

She gently placed the bracelet in front of Chengze, "Put it away."

"What do you mean by putting it away?" Chengze pushed the bracelet back to her, "Now it returns to its original owner, do you want me to help you put it on?"

"Chengze, just think of me as a prostitute."

"If you really want a girl, shouldn't you accept it now?"

Xia Tian blushed: "I sold it, aren't you angry?"

"I'm so angry. Didn't it take several days to calm down?"

"I would rather you stay angry and never come to me again."

The light in Chengze's eyes dimmed suddenly, and he asked her seriously: "Do you really think so?"

Xia Tian lowered her head and clenched her fists. She felt that Chengze's eyes were locked on her, but she did not have the courage to look at him. She took a deep breath and said, "Really."

"Do you have someone you like?"

"Whatever you think."

Xia Tian heard Chengze sigh and the sound of the chair moving. He must have stood up and put on his coat.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of him picking up the cigarettes and lighters on the table with his slender fingers. He stood next to Xia Tian, ​​his tall body blocking the sun.

"The bracelet is yours. If you don't want it, just throw it away."

Xia Tian heard the sound of the private room door opening and closing, and Cheng Ze left just like that.

The scorching sunlight bakes this room, like standing on a playground on a summer afternoon, with nowhere to hide, making it annoying and boring.

Xia Tian picked up the orange juice and drank it in one gulp.

The door suddenly opened, and she thought Chengze was back, but it was a waiter who came in.

"The guest is checking out at the front desk, and the manager asked you to come over."

"knew."

Xia Tian put the bracelet into her pocket.

Chengze stood absently in front of the bar and listened to the foreman checking the accounts with him. It was not necessary in the first place. Most likely, he wanted to talk to him for a while, Xia Tian thought so.

When she walked over, the head waiter said to her: "The set menu is all ready, right?"

"Yes." Xia Tian answered.

"The dishes served in every private room are the same, isn't there anything missing?"

"No."

Not only Chengze was annoyed, but Xia Tian was also a little annoyed.

"The dishes on those three tables were not touched at all, so they were wasted," the foreman said.

"You guys can keep it for dinner, how much is the total?" Chengze planned to pay the bill, his eyes glancing at Xia Tian from time to time.

"Thank you then." The foreman turned to Xia Tian and said in a commanding tone, "Xia Tian, ​​you and Yaoyao quickly clean up the private room."

"Yeah." Xia Tian wanted to leave immediately.

"Get food." A voice pulled Xia Tian back again.

Xia Xi hurried in wearing work clothes.

"It'll be ready soon." The head waiter glanced at the empty bar and said to him with a look of disdain.

"It's so slow, I'm in a hurry." Xia Xi said unhappily.

"Our family is very fast at serving meals." The head waiter rolled his eyes at him, and seeing Xia Tian standing still, he scolded angrily, "Xia Tian, ​​what are you doing? Hurry up and clean up the private room."

Xia Xi was startled, and then he realized that Xia Xia was standing there wearing waiter's clothes and staring at him.

"What are you doing here?" Xia Xi walked forward quickly and asked angrily.

"Your eyes..."

"Why don't you study hard and work here? Are you short of money and spending it?" Xia Xi asked, "I want to ask you a question."

"The takeout is ready." A staff member placed the packaged takeout on the bar. Seeing Xia Xi wearing takeout work clothes, she shouted to him loudly.

"Come to my house tonight." Xia Xi picked up the takeout and hurried out.

He thought that the shock in Xia Tian's eyes was because he discovered the fact that he was working part-time, but he didn't know that because Chengze was here, his face that seemed to be terminally ill and his dark yellow eyes were clearly seen by his sister.

Xia Tian couldn't figure it out, how could his brother's complexion be so bad? And those cloudy eyes didn't look like a healthy person.

Those pills are indeed not vitamins. Could it be that my brother has an incurable disease...

There was a sudden pain in her chest, and overwhelming despair rushed toward Xia Tian. All the bad premonitions she had before seemed to come true, making her feel the pain of losing a loved one in advance.

Senior Shi! Senior Shi!

Xia Tian seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw. She said to the foreman: "I have something urgent and I need to take leave."

The foreman refused without hesitation: "You have to tell me in advance when you ask for leave."

Xia Tian went straight to the locker room: "I'm in a hurry."

The foreman lost face and said angrily to Xia Tian's back: "Then don't come here anymore. You'll be absent from work for no reason and don't want any salary."

How can Xia Tian take care of this?

After leaving the store, she immediately called Shi Xia. After getting through, Shi Xia said, "I was just about to call you. The test results came out. I hope you will come with me tonight."

"

"Isn't it convenient now?"

"The appointment is for tonight. Where are you? I'm going to find you now."

After seeing Shi Xia, Xia Xia asked anxiously: "What kind of medicine is that? Is it for treating cancer?"

Shi Xia looked serious and shook his head.

"leukemia?"
