His Marriage Partner is Scheming - Chapter 55
In the door lock that had been quiet for a long time, there was the sound of a key being turned.
The pulleys of the suitcase were rolling, touching the light-colored ground for a long time, leaving clear marks.
The owner who traveled for more than half a month finally returned home.
With the spring of the whole April.
As soon as Chi Xueyan got home, she nestled into the sofa, her brows and eyes were tired, and she didn’t want to care about anything, as if she was so tired that she could fall asleep in a second.
He Qiao consciously undertook the finishing work after the trip.
First help the lover who has slept all the way on the plane to turn on the TV, then clean the slightly dusty house, open the suitcase, and throw the washed clothes into the washing machine.
The new coat I bought temporarily for the cold island also needs to be washed.
The wrinkled wool fell into the laundry basket, still dark in color.
It is reminiscent of the same dark night, the heating in the hotel room, and the sleepless sea tide outside the window all night.
He Qiao stared at it and thought for a while, but couldn’t find the experience of how to clean a woolen coat from his mind.
But other experiences linger.
So he dropped what he was supposed to be doing and went back to the living room.
The person nestled in the sofa was watching TV, with a thin blanket casually draped over his body.
The temperature at home was pleasant, he took off his coat, and was wearing light and loose short-sleeved sleeves. There were some red marks on the wide neckline, which was set off by his fair skin.
Chi Xueyan heard footsteps, and looked over subconsciously: “Are you finished?”
In the next second, he didn’t get a reply from He Qiao, but met with a thick and gloomy gaze.
He was startled for a while, and after a sudden reaction, he picked up a sofa pillow and threw it mercilessly.
“No, I have to go to work tomorrow.”
But the current He Qiao often has different ideas from him.
And put ideas into practice.
This was what Chi Xueyan himself requested.
The littered pillows were picked up and put back on the sofa, faithfully fulfilling their original mission.
“…总有一天,我要揍你一顿。”平日里很会打架的爱人在耳畔威胁着他,声音却断断续续,失了力气,“…贺桥。”
Amidst the disordered breathing, He Qiao coaxed him in a low voice: “Okay.”
The soft spring days are gradually slipping into the hotter summer.
The green maples all over the street shook their branches and leaves, the early morning sun fell through the open shutters, and a long-lost familiar figure finally appeared in the elevator of the clinic.
As soon as An An at the front desk saw the dazzling red hair, she blurted out: “Good morning, Doctor Chi! Why are you coming back a few days later than the original vacation?”
God knows how long she has been looking forward to this day.
Because she discovered a secret, she kept holding back and wanted to ask Chi Xueyan face to face.
“Doctor Chi, did you and your husband travel in an RV? They also sold ice cream, right!”
While surfing the Internet, An An saw a photo posted by a travel blogger about a pair of ice cream truck lovers who would give their ice cream strange names.
Although the blogger did not post very clear frontal photos, he only posted some partial photos that should not affect their lives, as well as vivid and interesting text descriptions.
But just looking at the atmosphere is very handsome. The name of the ice cream and the details of tearing a corner of the note every day are very cute. It was reposted by many people for a while, screaming and wanting to see the face.
An An recognized the unusually familiar hair color at a glance.
They also look a lot like the two of them.
Strangers who have seen the photos should not recognize them if they see them again in real life.
But for those who knew Chi Xueyan and He Qiao at the same time, it was actually easy to identify them.
Finally, when Dr. Chi came to work today, An An deliberately lowered her voice, and after asking impatiently, she suddenly realized something belatedly.
She widened her eyes in shock: “Doctor Chi, this is the first time I see you wearing a shirt like this…”
In the past, Chi Xueyan’s clothes were always very casual, mostly simple and casual T-shirts and sweaters, but today he is wearing a white shirt that looks very high-end and expensive, and it doesn’t even look like his clothes.
Because the shirt seems to be a bit too big, the originally well-fitting tailoring is worn loose and lazy, but the neckline is just the opposite. Even the top button is tightly buttoned, covering the skin near the collarbone, making it look inexplicably Very abstinent.
It’s not like Dr. Chi’s style at all, An An couldn’t help thinking.
On the contrary, it is more like Dr. Chi’s other half.
Facing her curious gaze and a host of questions, Chi Xueyan, who stepped out of the elevator, first responded to her good morning greetings, and then answered her one by one.
“Caught a cold on the way back from a trip, so I called in sick for a few extra days.”
The annual leave plus personal leave that Chi Xueyan applied for before departure was just enough, but later he really didn’t have the mind and energy to work hard, so he asked for a few extra days off.
I didn’t think of a suitable reason for asking for leave, and asking was sick leave.
After all, the reason for marriage leave was used last year.
Who makes some things come so late.
“I’m going to drive an RV to sell ice cream.” After Chi Xueyan finished speaking the only truth, he continued to babble without changing his face, “I bought a new shirt, and occasionally want to change the style.”
“As soon as I saw the photos on the Internet, I guessed it was you. It’s so romantic.” An An said with a smile, “You look very good in this style!”
Chi Xueyan then chatted with her for a few words before walking to the office.
He opened the blinds, and saw the person who appeared on the opposite downstairs to drink coffee on time.
Before setting off together in the morning, He Qiao picked out a shirt of his own in the cloakroom of the master bedroom, and helped him fasten every button with a displeased face, and said similar things.
In fact, at first, Chi Xueyan just wanted to wear his coat once.
Because on the night when he found the bridge, he suddenly felt that something that he thought was dispensable had become indispensable.
Those emotions surging in the heart cannot be described in words, and they are no longer satisfied with kisses and hugs, and need more deep-seated confession and integration.
The words don’t convey the meaning, but the timing is just right.
But there will always be differences between those who have just opened up and those who have endured for a long time.
The dabbles of being a dentist, still concerned about the duties of a dentist, are ultimately lost to a long runaway that requires time off work.
… Seeing that this spring trip overwhelmingly won the Aurora New Year’s Eve, Chi Xueyan decided not to haggle with He Qiao.
Since Han Zhenzhen also saw the photo of the two of them selling ice cream on the Internet, Chi Zhongyuan hadn’t quarreled with his son in the family group for a while.
It is said that he is busy learning romantic plots from love movies and trying to improve himself.
But Su Yu’s reaction was more direct.
[Su Yu: Marriage does not prevent you from playing, you two are very good at playing! ]
[Su Yu: But speaking of it, is that prenuptial agreement really being properly implemented? ]
[Su Yu: Don’t talk about private life, why do you start to imitate others even in dressing. ]
[Su Yu: … the prenuptial agreement is not just for the two of you to have fun, right? I’m not part of the game, am I? ! ]
Faced with such a question that has become difficult to answer nowadays, Chi Xueyan usually uses the simplest and most effective way to change the topic.
[Shahryar: Where are you going to take your girlfriend for the weekend? ]
Immediately, the opposite party started a long and eloquent speech.
Lawyer Qing Shengsu talked about the longest relationship so far. No matter what the future holds, at least he is still in love at the moment, with his favorite female lawyer in the law firm he hates the most.
Chi Xueyan would still be bombarded with his thoughts from time to time.
[Su Yu: Lawyer is the sexiest profession in the world! I love lawyers! I love being a lawyer! ]
[Shahryar: That’s not what you said the last time you were entrusted to be mad, and you said that you must have lost your mind the day you filled out the application. ]
[Su Yu: Hahahaha people change. ]
[Su Yu: Even you have been assimilated! ]
People do change.
It’s shirt season again.
Now Chi Xueyan thinks that more than casual and simple shirts are good-looking.
Delicate and expensive haute couture shirts look great too.
Especially in some special moments.
Although every time he wakes up, his waist is sore and his legs are weak, which makes him want to beat the person next to him.
But I have to admit that he likes the way a meticulous person becomes out of control.
Perhaps on the day of the wedding, when Chi Xueyan suddenly loosened the tie of his married partner after the kiss, he subconsciously wrote down this desire for destruction.
However, as a well-educated doctor, he still has a sense of propriety.
The thick shade of early summer cast light and shadows. Under the dark green parasol, the man who was seriously looking at the document in his hand picked up the phone that rang with a special notification tone.
[Shahryar: Start sleeping in separate rooms today, and the end time is to be determined. ]
He put down the file and was typing a reply when the next message came.
[Shahryar: No appeal. I’m going to work. ]
He Qiao’s fingers froze.
Immediately, he deleted the protest he had prepared, and looked up at the high window, imagining the appearance of the dentist in a white coat turning away, with a faint smile in his eyes.
He Qiao has never set any notes for Chi Xueyan.
He imagined many kinds of titles, but he didn’t think they were suitable enough.
Shahryar is the perfect name for him.
The aroma of coffee drifted around, drifting past the signboard of the coffee shop, crossing the busy road, flocking to the new signboard that is being renovated opposite.
The sun is shining brightly and the summer heat is getting stronger.
The bottom shops on the street are often changed. In the hot summer, a new cold drink shop opened under the building opposite the coffee shop.
When An An goes in and out of the building every day, she can always see this new store. She sees that the renovation is completed and the trial operation begins. The freezer is full of ice creams of different colors and flavors.
Her self-control, which she was not very proud of, finally completely collapsed at noon with the sound of cicadas.
She took advantage of her lunch break to go downstairs and saw the same buy one get one free activity banner hanging in the cold drink shop. She became ruthless and decided to eliminate it by herself.
When Ann was assigned to the team, she looked at the ice cream in the transparent glass cabinet and immediately chose the vanilla flavor.
When she ordered, she habitually said: “Two cactus flavors.”
The clerk looked blank: “What’s the smell?”
Only then did An An react, and quickly changed her words: “Two vanilla sundaes!”
“Okay, the total is…”
At the same time, An An heard a lively laughter behind him.
She looked back and saw a girl about her own age, with exquisite makeup and classic professional attire, who was also waiting in line to buy ice cream.
Facing An An’s curious eyes, the other party repeated softly with a smile: “Cactus smell.”
She instantly understood that this was a stranger who had heard the same ice cream truck legend.
The clerk handed An An two sundae cups after paying. She thought for a while and handed one of them over: “I can’t finish two. Do you like vanilla?”
On a midsummer afternoon, meeting a stranger who may have also seen those photos and sharing a buy-one-get-one vanilla sundae with him suddenly made this ordinary day beautiful.
What’s more, An An also knows the two protagonists in the photo.
When she returns to the clinic in a while, she will tell Dr. Chi this wonderful little thing.
The girl in business attire didn’t refuse, she took it generously, and thanked her: “Do you work nearby? I’ll invite you next time.”
“I work in this building.”
“That’s very close. I work in the building opposite.”
The two were chatting, taking advantage of the fact that there were no people at the outdoor tables and chairs of the coffee shop, they took a seat and ate an ice cream sundae.
Under the dark green parasol, the two girls chatted happily.
This was the first time An An met the person who worked in the opposite building.
Sitting at the front desk every day, she would see the increasingly busy luxury office building.
What kind of scenery does it look like from the other side?
In fact, she has been curious about this for a long time.
Now, she finally has friends with whom she can talk about this issue.
They exchanged names and contact information.
When adding friends, An An wrote her name in the application reason.
[I’m Zhai An’an. ]
The new friend with a strong white-collar aura looked at the line in the chat box and said with a smile: “What a coincidence, my name is also in ABB format.”
“My name is Li Feifei.” She said.
Zhai Anan is the front desk of the Children’s Dental Clinic.
Li Feifei is the secretary to the president of the media company.
After hearing about the company where each other worked, the expressions of the two girls were surprised for a moment.
Zhai An’an really wanted to gossip about the legendary rich young master.
Li Feifei really wanted to gossip about Mr. Chi’s daily work in the clinic.
But… sorry to ask directly.
Forget it, let’s talk about ice cream.
“Tomorrow there will be a buy one get one free event. Do you want to eat at noon or after get off work?”
“Let’s get off work. I want to try the matcha flavor tomorrow. I saw it in the store just now. How about you?”
“Me too, want to taste the Christmas tree flavor.”
In the fresh scent of vanilla, Zhai Anan, who rolled his eyes with a smile, still couldn’t hold back, and whispered, “I know the owner of that ice cream truck.”
She promised not to disclose Dr. Chi’s specific information to strangers.
I just want to share this wonderful mood with this new friend I met because of the cactus-flavored ice cream.
Unexpectedly, Li Feifei said the same thing: “I know you too.”
Zhai An’an, who looked surprised, heard her ask: “Are you on good terms with Mr. Chi?”
“Mr. Chi…?”
Li Feifei thought for a while and corrected: “No, the clinic should be called Dr. Chi?”
“!!”
On another midsummer afternoon, Chi Xueyan had lunch at the company opposite and returned to the clinic’s office for a lunch break.
Today is the first time that Dr. Chi has implemented the sleeping plan in different rooms regularly.
After repeated trials and failures, Chi Xueyan kept summing up new experiences.
Sleeping in separate rooms, once implemented, must be carried out to the end, whether it is in the company or at home.
After all, the rest room in He Qiao’s office is too much like a home.
Not only the bed and bathroom, but even the luxurious bathtub are exactly the same.
Chi Xueyan stepped out of the elevator and heard a familiar brisk voice: “Doctor Chi, do you want ice cream?”
There were several sundaes in plastic cups at the front desk, and people came to get them one after another.
Zhai Anan invited his acquaintances to eat ice cream today, and he bought it at the newly opened cold drink shop downstairs.
Chi Xueyan was hesitating whether to eat some sweets to help her sleep, when she heard her say with a smile, “It smells like roses.”
She pointed to the glass of pink sundae garnished with fresh strawberries.
Chi Xueyan no longer hesitated.
When he took the strawberry sundae, he saw Zhai Anan blinking at him: “Dr. Chi, because of your ice cream truck, I met a new friend. She works in the company opposite.”
She rested her chin and said with joy: “She took a photo for me to see. It turns out that it looks like this from the opposite side. It’s so special.”
Chi Xueyan was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
“Well, very special.”
He Qiao also showed him the photos.
Zhai Anan discovered another secret about Dr. Chi.
A dark and grand secret.
In the building on the left, the young man with a bright smile picked up the strawberry sundae, thanked the colleagues at the front desk, walked to the office, took out his mobile phone, and took a photo.
A moment later, in the building on the right, the man with an ordinary face left the office, declined the secretary’s inquiry, walked to the ice cream shop on the street, and bought a cup of refreshing strawberry sundae.
In the flowing midsummer light and shadow, dreamlike butterflies fly across the window.
The desk at the front desk of the dental clinic and the desk outside the president’s office of the media company rang alternately.
[Li Feifei: Mr. He really went to buy a sundae by himself! ]
[Zhai An’an: Hey, it’s the rose flavor I recommend! ]
[Li Feifei: Butterfly! ]
[Zhai An’an: Effect! ]
[Li Feifei: Hahahahahahahaha]
[Li Feifei: An An, look out the window, there are really butterflies! ]
It flies past the transparent glass windows lightly, and the brilliant brilliance shines on its gorgeous wings.
A pair of friends sitting by different windows chatting on their mobile phones saw it.
They coincidentally looked at the butterfly with very soft eyes.
A pair of lovers standing by different windows eating strawberry sundaes also saw it.
Over the hovering wings, they looked into each other’s eyes.
Smiles shine like diamonds in the air.
Butterflies who don’t know where they come from fly from the long night into the day.
Flying through the long four seasons, it has been parked in this beautiful home as before for a long time.
Beside the dining table with warm yellow lights, Chi Xueyan, who was looking up at the calendar, felt that this was the most special four seasons he had spent so far.
There are heartbeats, frustrations, pursuits, and love.
He and He Qiao spent the perfect four seasons together.
Unknowingly, the day came to the day when it all started.
They held their wedding on August 26 last year, two weeks after receiving the certificate.
The certificate was received on August 12, within 24 hours after the end of the blind date.
The blind date on August 11 was on a Friday evening.
On the eleventh day, Chi Xueyan met his eleventh blind date partner.
He looked at the coming eleventh on the calendar for a while, and suddenly picked up his phone.
In these coincidental numbers and order, it is rare for him to have a sense of ritual.
On the same day a year later, Chi Xueyan opened the chat history and selected the date that was lit the earliest.
The first message He Qiao sent him was a polite greeting, which was written in the reason for applying for a friend.
[I’m He Qiao. ]
Since then, Chi Xueyan has indeed called him that.
He likes this name that is both certain and unknown.
No matter when, Chi Xueyan likes to call him that, by his full name.
So at the moment when the dates overlapped, he finally changed the name of the note that he had casually changed with a sense of ritual.
Follow the way He Qiao greeted him at first.
He Qiao, who was sitting opposite the dining table, caught a glimpse of the light that was deeply smeared on the red hair, and outlined the three-dimensional outline of the white side face. In the bright light and shadow, Chi Xueyan’s gaze and fingertips were on the screen together. Walking casually, I don’t know what I saw, the corners of my pale lips raised slightly, and there seemed to be a very light laughter in the fragrance of roses in the room.
It was a particularly strong impression.
Immediately afterwards, Chi Xueyan took the initiative to get up, took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and waited for another person to wash the dishes.
This is a standard division of labor when eating at home.
He Qiao lowered his eyes, and saw the screen of his mobile phone which he casually put aside, and also saw two familiar avatars.
In the chat interface, in the small square on the right is a large piece of gorgeous sunset red clouds, which seems to have been photographed casually at dusk.
It seems to be echoing the blue sea in the small square on the left.
That was the chat interface between Chi Xueyan and him.
The nickname at the top has changed to “Heqiao”.
He Qiao looked for a while at the location of the “Little Eleven” that had been marked with an unknown meaning, then got up and walked into the kitchen.
Now when he was washing the dishes, Chi Xueyan would wait by the side, sometimes chatting with him, sometimes distracted by himself, and sometimes watching the balloon man outside the window together.
He was playing a game today, a game he and He Qiao were playing recently.
The man who lowered his head to wash the dishes asked, “What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?”
The person who studied the difficulty seriously replied casually: “Anything is fine, it’s up to you.”
“I’ve made an order for dinner. It’s your favorite restaurant.”
“good.”
“Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary.”
“I remember.”
“Would you like to put water in the bath for you tonight?”
“…”
Chi Xueyan, who was frequently disturbed, couldn’t bear it anymore, and put down her phone: “I have an appointment with Ren Xuan to go rock climbing this weekend, at least until the weekend.”
This is an exercise that consumes a lot of energy. It is necessary to nourish your energy in advance to ensure the best physical condition.
Amidst the sound of gurgling water, the dish washer glanced back at the mobile phone placed on the kitchen counter, and did not appeal, but only whispered, “I’ll teach you how to call later.”
A big gameover flashed on the phone screen.
“Teaching me how to play games won’t do.” Chi Xueyan was determined, “I’m going rock climbing, and I haven’t gone for a long time.”
“Well, I see.”
“Really?”
“real.”
This night, Chi Xueyan finally passed the game level that he failed repeatedly, and his technical level improved slightly.
As for the rest…
He will continue to learn his lesson next time.
For example, if you say you know it, you just know it, and some people will still commit crimes knowingly.
next morning.
The alarm clock rang, and when Chi Xueyan woke up on the big bed in the master bedroom, apart from the usual unhappiness of wanting to beat someone up, there was also a trace of happiness that the bottom line was getting lower and lower.
At least the physical strength to work well has been preserved.
He Qiao wasn’t in the bedroom, and the shirt he brought from the cloakroom was already placed beside the bed.
Chi Xueyan resignedly put on a well-covered shirt, wrapped in the breath of her lover, washed her face and brushed her teeth, imagining the breakfast she would see when she walked out of the living room.
In fact, every time he thought of this, he was not so angry.
And right now, Chi Xueyan couldn’t think of what He Qiao would have for breakfast on this special day today.
But when he opened the door and smelled the familiar fragrance, memories flooded in instantly.
On the dining table were two wontons that were packed and brought back in advance.
He Qiao was sitting at the dining table, looking up.
Chi Xueyan leaned against the bedroom door, unable to feel angry at all, just walked towards him with a smile.
Walking out of the medical examination center that day, on the way to have breakfast, he suddenly asked He Qiao if he would marry him.
After a moment of trance, He Qiao seriously asked him which one he likes to eat, listening to the enthusiastic shout of the owner of the breakfast shop.
At that time, He Qiao’s tone was full of unskilled gentleness, acquiescing to the identity and relationship that was about to change.
At that time, Chi Xueyan said: “Everything is good, I like the little wonton the most.”
It was the same little ravioli that I had that morning.
