Chapter 75(1/2)
Wenming and Li Mao had not digested the important message yet, and when they looked up, they saw Su Hao, they both shuddered.
Chen Xingfeng was not guilty at first, but suddenly he was stunned when he saw Su Hao's expression as if he was struck by lightning.
We have known each other for so many years and are used to talking without any discretion. Su Hao looks like a bad temper, but in fact she is not so fond of people. Even if he tells Xu Lie about family affairs because he is unhappy, she should turn against her face, not like this.
Xu Zhili first realized the problem and leaned into Chen Xingfeng's ear and whispered: "It's over, I'll make you lose my mind. She doesn't seem to know about this."
Chen Xingfeng's eyes flashed.
What he said just now was indeed a blink of an eye, but the reason why he hid it for so long was that he no longer cared about it today because he saw Su Hao and Xu Lie reconcile.
Could it be that these two people can reconcile because Xu Lie told Su Hao the truth at that time? Chen Xingfeng agreed that Su Hao knew about this, so he felt that it didn't matter if the times passed.
But now looking at Su's surprised expression, he realized that Xu Zhili might be right and lied awkwardly: "Well, we are talking about a classmate in our class."
Su Hao is not stupid. Even though Chen Xingfeng didn't name him, he could tell the truth from the embarrassment he wrote on his face.
When someone heard about her boyfriend's family affairs, she had become accustomed to her temper. She should quickly recover from calmness at such a passive moment, and said lightly - Oh, I knew it a long time ago.
Instead of being like now, it is clear that she has been foolishly kept in the dark.
But she can't pretend now.
Or, face or something else is no longer important.
She ignored Chen Xingfeng's lie that was about to cover up, looked straight at him, her lips trembling: "When did you hear the news?"
The few people in the private room looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
Su Hao turned around and looked at Xu Lie standing at the end of the corridor. He was talking on the phone with one hand in his pocket and holding his cell phone with the other.
Just now, Xu Lie received a call halfway through the way and asked her to go back to the private room first.
Su Hao said to him saying things like "I'll be back" and "Time is still uncertain". He guessed that it was his family's call, so he didn't bother him.
Seeing her gaze, Xu Lie turned her head, raised her hand in her pocket, and gestured to her to let her go in with peace of mind.
Su Hao walked into the private room, covered the door with a false cover, sat down in the seat, leaned against the back of the chair and took a deep breath, staring at Chen Xingfeng: "Tell me."

After answering the phone, Xu Lie returned to the private room and saw Su Hao raising his head to drink beer.
The other four looked at her silently, with a stiff expression.
If Xu Lie doesn't come tonight, according to the habits of these people, it will probably be a crazy drink party. However, because of Xu Lie's appearance, Wenming, Li Mao and Chen Xingfeng are not in the state, and Xu Zhili also received the instructions of his agent to "don't drink too much". Although there was beer on the table, no one was making a fuss, and he just went to hot pot to relieve his greasiness.
So Xu Lie was a little surprised. Su Hao suddenly started drinking at the end of the dinner.
Xu Zhili responded the fastest and immediately made up the situation: "I'm back, your girlfriend was so angry."
Su Hao heard the movement behind her, and her body stiffened, pinched the empty beer can and blinked her wet eyes.
Xu Zhili is quite good at telling this lie.
Su Hao's brain was rusted and could not think at this moment. He slapped the table with her lies and scolded Wenming and Li Maolai: "I haven't seen any courage for more than a year. I dare to airdrop the millet into my bowl while I'm not here!"
Wenming and Li Mao cooperated and hugged his head with both hands and surrendered: "I'm sorry! Sister Su, we were wrong! We punished ourselves for three cups!" As he said that, he opened a can of beer.
Xu Lie returned to her seat and sat down. He looked at Su Hao's red eyes. He pulled a tissue and handed it over. He wanted to tell me why she was so useless. Because she had to protect her face, she did not harm her in front of her friends. She poured a cup of cold and opened it.
Su Hao wiped the corners of his eyes with a tissue, took the cold Baikai, and hesitated a few times in a serious way.
Xu Zhili and Chen Xingfeng looked at each other and confirmed from each other that it was not suitable for staying here for a long time.
Xu Zhili glanced at her phone: "Hey, my agent urged me. I have to go to promote the movie tomorrow. Let's go back first."
Chen Xingfeng stood up and said, "I'll give you it." He turned around and asked Wenming Li Mao who was still drinking silly, reminding him, "What are you two going to do?"
Wenming and Li Mao left the beer that he had drunk halfway: "... Then we won't be the light bulb anymore! Sister Su, Brother Lie, we're leaving!"
*
Everyone scattered, and their posture was really weird.
Xu Lie vaguely noticed something was wrong, but in the taxi back to the hotel, Su Hao kept pillowing on his shoulder and closing his eyes to rest, without any intention of speaking. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only hug her quietly.
Back in the hotel room, Su Hao took off his thin coat as soon as he entered the door, changed his shoes, and lay on the bed with a tired look on his face.
Xu Lie sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her forehead: "Who made you unhappy just now?"
Su Hao looked at him and shook his head: "No, I'm just a little sleepy."
"It's uncomfortable, take a shower before going to bed." Xu Lie pulled her up.
Su Hao stuck to the bed and pushed him gently: "I want to lie down for a while, you go first."
Xu Lie held her hand back and said, "It's really okay?"
Su Hao was listless: "It's okay, I'm just being angry with Wenming and Li Mao."
"Then I'll go take a shower first, you can rest." Xu Lie nodded, but frowned when he got up.
Hearing the bathroom door closed with a snap, Su Hao felt as if he had been drained, he looked at the chandelier on the ceiling in a daze and covered his face with his hands.
I endured tears flowing out from my eyes, dipped in my fingers, and fell down the corners of my eyes on the bed sheets.
The drizzle in the bathroom was like a sound that she didn't cry.
Chen Xingfeng didn't say much to her, but every bit of words was a microcosm of darkness.
Xu Lie's mother happened last year on Dragon Boat Festival, on that thunderstorm night.
Xu Lie did not go to the third year of high school normally. Although he failed to get a student status, he spent most of his time at his mother's bedside to the end of the first semester.
He could not bear the high medical expenses and complicated lawsuits, so he chose to compromise in the face of reality and rely on his family who was least willing to owe or trouble again.
He abandoned his self-esteem and devoted all his energy to this, but his mother passed away half a year later.
Listening to these alone was enough to make Su Hao feel suffocated, but when he looked back, Xu Lie faced more than that.
Even though his life was so bad that it was riddled with holes, he was still considering her wholeheartedly and to be the one who lets go first, so that she can leave with peace of mind.
When he was the most difficult time, she pursued her dreams more than 10,000 kilometers away without knowing it.
Su Hao turned his palm over his hand, pressing the back of his hand against his forehead, suppressing the sob.
After a while, the sound of water in the bathroom gradually weakened.
Su Hao came back to his senses, stopped crying, blinked his sore eyes, got up and looked in the dressing table in the mirror, and saw that his eye makeup had been painted.
She quickly took out the makeup remover and makeup remover from her makeup bag, then blew her nose, cleared her throat, and opened the bathroom door.
Inside the glass door of the shower room, Xu Lie stopped with a towel and turned around.
Su Hao pretended to be taking off makeup and covered his eyes with the makeup remover: "I'll take off some makeup." Then he turned on the faucet on the bathroom stand, burying his head and squeezing his facial cleanser.
The lower half of the glass door is a fuzzy matte that cannot be seen clearly inside and outside, and the upper half is transparent, and it is now evaporated into a vast fog.
Xu Lie brushed away the water vapor on the glass, watched Su Hao wash his face in a hurry, sucked a face wash towel and pressed the corners of his eyes, turned around and walked out, never facing him from beginning to end.
"Is anyone telling you something?" Xu Lie suddenly said something without any end.
Su Haodun was by the door, and he squeezed his hands on the door handle with force, and his joints suddenly turned white.
The bathroom was quiet enough to hear the needle. She turned her back to Xu Lie and suddenly couldn't remain silent.
No need to be silent anymore.
She couldn't hide her emotions in front of him.
Tears that were restrained burst out again, Su Hao turned around and walked towards him slowly.
Xu Lie picked up his bathrobe and put it on his body, and removed the glass door.
Su Hao stepped into the shower room, looked up at him, and stuttered: "I know everything."
Xu Lie lowered his head and looked at her swollen eyes, and for a moment he felt like a thorn in his throat.
Su Hao's eyes were blurred by tears, and his mouth was incoherent: "I didn't hide it from me for so long, why are you doing this..."
Xu Lie pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and hugged her tightly: "I'm sorry."
Su Hao hugged him, tears pouring out: "I'm not scolding you."
She obviously wanted to comfort him, but when she laughed, she would open her mouth and say anything. At this critical moment, she could not organize the continuous language.
Xu Lie put his back with one hand and rubbed her head with the other: "I know," he closed his eyes and repeated with a sob, "I know everything."
"How did you come here alone for a whole year?" Su Hao looked up at him, and his eyes were filled with tears.
"No, not alone," Xu Lie shook his head and wiped her tears with his fingertips. "My sister and brother-in-law are here, and my dad has come back. With them with me, it's not as sad as you think."
"I want to accompany you too." Su Hao's forehead was pressed against his shoulder, and his heart felt so uncomfortable that it was being stomped over.
Xu Lie held up her face: "Haven't you been with me all the time?"
"But then..."
"Do you remember what I said to you in the attic that thunderstorm?" Xu Lie looked down at her, "No one would be afraid that the sun was too far away. You were with me if you were not by my side. When I was in a difficult situation, I thought, you are still waiting for me, I have to handle these things well, live like a personal person, deserve to be such an excellent girlfriend, and go to see you."
"Hello Su, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been to an awesome university," Xu Lie pointed to his heart, "You have to accompany me, you are here."
Su Hao trembled his eyelashes, stared at the place where his fingertips fell, raised his hand, and slowly stroked it through the gap in the bathrobe, touching his chest, feeling the powerful pulsation of his heart.
