Chapter 26: Borrowing Onions
After changing the medicine, Wei Zexuan picked up a bottle of fruit vinegar on the bedside and handed it to the woman in silence.
When Xia Yuxi lifted her injured hand, Wei Zexuan unscrewed the bottle cap and took it to her mouth. He helped clean the quilt, dimmed the bedside lamp, then went to the sofa alone to sit down and light a cigarette for himself.
The woman on the bed coughed twice, Wei Zexuan looked with a tight eyebrow and took a sip, then extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray.
He didn't say a word until the phone rang in the room. The first time he pressed mute, and the second time he answered, he only hummed, then hurriedly got up and left the room.
Xia Yuxi's closed her eyes, and after he stepped out of the room door, she buried her face in the pillow, and her body trembled. She thought Wei Zexuan should leave this time. In the middle of the night, the fruit vinegar and the wine she drunk turned over in her stomach, quickly Xia Yuxi sat up, covered her mouth, and hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.
A few minutes later, she came out pale, but accidentally saw the man curled up on the sofa. For a while she stood still, and her heart was weakened again.
He seemed to have fallen asleep, and suddenly he got up from the sofa with his eyes wide and messy hair, then stared straight at the empty bed. Wei Zexuan suddenly turned his head and met Xia Yuxi's eyes.
A few words came out of the man's voice: "How are you now? Still Uncomfortable?"
Xia Yuxi didn't say anything. She walked, she lay down again on the bed, because she couldn't open her mouth, otherwise if she did, she would cry. But in the middle of the long night, she couldn't sleep at all, and asked herself over and over again: 'Why is he still here? Why gave her such a warm feeling after she had made up her mind. What's Wei Zexuan thinking!'
In the next three days, Wei Zexuan really never appeared again, just as she wished. But Xia Yuxi still found that person's shadow everywhere. Another example: She woke up with an ashtray full of cigarette butts, and the book he threw randomly on the carpet, his favorite book before.
In another example: the bandage on her arm was unknown, and the wound healed was coated with yellow ointment. After Xia Yuxi's body was completely recovered, she then could not find any traces of Wei Zexuan's appearance.
In the past, they always quarreled in this house. Xia Yuxi was mostly bullied. She had to do many and many things every day, but felt that life was fast and she looked like a turning page every day. But these past few days, she has been in a state of confusion, even sister Joe won't bother her anymore aand Han Ruowei never came over.
It was only five o'clock in the evening, and Xia Yuxi sat idly at the table and began to wait for the last "activity" of the day, dinner. Suddenly footsteps sounded in the yard, from far to near. Listening to it very clearly in the quiet living room, Xia Yuxi quickly got up and walked towards the door. As she walked, she subconsciously gathered her hair and fixed her clothes.
As soon as she looked up, she almost collided with Liu Zhiyan who was about to enter the door. Xia Yuxi bowed her head and laughed at herself.
"Mrs. Wei." Liu Zhiyan addressed her name. She came in with a broken threshold, and looked around in the living room. "Are there any onions? Borrow me two, this is too far away from the supermarket. I'm cooking, it's too late for me to buy rice. Suddenly a strange idea popped up, Xia Yuxi was she looking at her? 'Wasn't Wei Zexuan on her side?'
She gave an uncertain glance at Liu Zhiyan, and then shouted at the kitchenette, "Sister Joe, bring me two spring onions."
Not long after Sister Joe came out from the kitchen holding the two onions, she rolled her eyes as soon as she saw Liu Zhiyan standing there.
"Mrs. The onions you want." Xia Yuxi transferred the onions to Liu Zhiyan's hands, and said nothing, intending to send her out.
Unexpectedly, Sister Joe said something strangely behind her. "Mrs, don't you say that he doesn't like the taste of onion? What did she do if you borrowed her onions? Or does that person does not know what her man like?"
Sister Joe straightforward sarcastic provoke that person. When she heard and saw Wei Zexuan that day, because this woman, he treated his wife with such a big temperamental. She commented without thinking.
Xia Yuxi was embarrassed, and she turned around and scolded, "Sister Joe, don't talk nonsense."
Liu Zhiyan's face was a slightly unhappy, but she still politely said, "It's okay, I really don't know, thank you."
Seeing Liu Zhiyan had going out, Sister Joe hurriedly came over, "Mrs. Why are you so kind to her? If it weren't for her, will your husband to divorce you. If I were you....."
Xia Yuxi knew she was kind to her. She took Sister Joe's hand and walked back, "Be careful when you speak. I will leave from here in the future. She is the next member of this house, your future Mistress. So be careful, don't add more troubles to yourself."
Sister Joe was not afraid, she shook her head and stubbornly walked back to the kitchen. "I am not afraid of her."
Xia Yuxi stood there smiling at her. In fact, the arrival of Liu Zhiyan made her feel good, because she seemed to find that Wei Zexuan was not really by her side. Liu Zhiyan was so anxious that she came over to take a look. But where have he been these days?
After thinking about it, she went to the sofa and called Han Ruowei, but before she speaks, the woman on the other side of the phone, starts bombing her like a machine gun.
"You know only how to call me now? I am so angry that I won't go to your house. You really something." Xia Yuxi grinned, knowing that Han Ruowei was still thinking of herself.
"Have you've been fine these days?" Xia Yuxi said on the phone, and then Han Ruowei turned the topic around and asked her instead. "What about you? What did you do at home during his two days away on business trip? Call me if you're boring, and let's go out for fun."
Xia Yuxi wanted to say that she didn't know that Wei Zexuan was on a business trip, but she opts to keep quiet.
