Chapter 106
Realizing that he was feeling sorry for the other party or something else, and aware of his soft heart, Huo Bai felt that he should not stay here any longer.
"I will remember this kindness... I will also leave."
The preamble of these two sentences did not match the postscript, Huo Bai lowered his eyes.I don't know if the manager and Shu always did it on purpose, but this dinner was mostly set up for him and Xiang Siqi to meet or even be alone.Huo Bai was forced to face the joy welling up from the bottom of his heart. He had done so much for himself.
The other party redeemed himself and helped a lot.But this is not a reason to forgive all the past.
"etc."
Seeing that he was leaving, Xiang Siqi became anxious.He had never been so short of words in his life, and he hardly spoke at the dinner table, fearing that he might accidentally lose Huo Bai again, fearing that in the blink of an eye, he would disappear like a bubble in a dream.
"Don't go."
Xiang Siqi chased after him and hurriedly grabbed his arm.Huo Bai shook it, but failed to shake it off smoothly.
"Is the baby okay?"
"……he's good."
"Have you been to kindergarten yet?"
"Ah."
He didn't want to answer at first, but he couldn't resist the concern and expectation in the man's eyes after all.
"Can I see him?"
Xiang Siqi seemed to have found a breakthrough, and lowered his posture when speaking, almost begging. "I miss him. It's good to see him."
"..."
The private room was eerily quiet.Huo Bai was almost about to say yes.At the last moment, the lonely desperation in the waiting room passed through the gap of time and piled on her body.Time is too short to forget.Once this is done, I am afraid that I will be entangled with this man again in the days to come.
"Mr. Huo."
Huo Bai spoke calmly. "The kindness owed to you this time will probably be repaid in a short time. But this is not the reason for you to exchange it for other things."
"No matter what you do, you do it with purpose. You can't be trusted."
This "Mr. Huo" made Xiang Siqi feel cold all over, from head to toe.It's not resentment or anger, it's just drawing a line between the two and setting up an invisible barrier.
"I'm really, really not here to help you. Just hope you and the baby are doing well. Please let me have a look at him."
Su Ruizhi could hardly listen anymore. When had he ever seen Xiang Si speak in such a tone.Even in the most difficult years of his youth, he was full of arrogance.Now in front of Huo Bai, he let go of everything.
But he couldn't interfere. No matter what he said at this moment, it would only be counterproductive. If the young master left like this, his friend might blame him for it.
"Mr. Huo, let me go."
"..."
In the end, Xiang Siqi slowly withdrew that hand.He didn't have the courage to stalk him, and he didn't dare to do that. Three years of longing made him cautious.
The most important thing is that he knows that the sins he committed back then cannot be written off so easily.
He wanted to tell how much he loved Huo Bai now, but he was not qualified to say it.
"Come to me if you have any difficulties, and I will help you without asking for anything in return. You have to trust me, I don't ask for anything in return."
Huo Bai left without saying anything.Xiang Siqi returned to the empty dinner table, regardless of his manners, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth.No matter how bitter and astringent the wine is, it cannot compare to the bitterness overflowing in his heart.
"You drink less."
Su Ruizhi wanted to stop him distressedly, but finally couldn't help but tell the truth, mixed with his own selfishness.
"Why do you have to be tied to him all the time? I have paid so much for what I owed him before... Don't go into a dead end because of guilt. There are so many men and women in the world who will always fall in love with you when they meet you, and they will treat you with all their hearts." OK."
But there is only one young master.
Xiang Siqi didn't answer, just drank the wine sullenly.And that's not because of guilt.It is a love that has not been noticed for a long time.During the days when the young master stayed together, not only did he give each other warmth, but he was also warmed. The heart that had been hardened by the cold had already melted away.
It is not only Huo Bai who lacks love, but also himself.Only when it was discovered, it was too late.
*********
Huo Bai embraced the sleeping Xiao Ke, and opened his eyes in the darkness.
—I don't expect anything in return from you.
It's too greedy for Xiang Siqi to get Huo's family and want to get himself again.But he really wanted to believe him at the time.So she hid her panic and ran away in a hurry, for fear that she would fall into the gentle trap of a man again.
——I don’t expect anything in return from you...
Only in the dead of night can Huo Bai allow himself to be vulnerable for a while.He wiped the tears that were about to flow, and talked to himself with a crying voice.
"What's the use of talking now. You couldn't do it back then..."
*********
Huo Bai and Tiancheng Entertainment terminated the contract, except for some gossip, the media did not report related news.After all, it was not something glorious, Tiancheng adopted a low-key strategy.
On the day when the contract was terminated, Shu Wang boldly settled the wages owed to him for more than half a year after signing the contract.Originally, the star's income mainly came from remuneration, appearance fees and endorsements. For the newcomers who had just debuted, although they had gained popularity, Huo Bai, who retired midway, did not actually have such income.This money is regarded as a subsidy and reward for participating in the program.
Huo Bai just took the money and stayed at home.But he knows that he can't be idle for too long, and he will have to find a new job to earn money to raise a baby after a long time.
Jiang Yizhuo also finished filming on the set and rushed back home immediately.
He was depressed in his heart. During the turmoil a month ago, he gritted his teeth and called Huo Siqi according to the number on the business card that he hadn't lost.For Huo Bai, he even left his self-esteem as a man, and only wanted to help him solve the current crisis.
The young master of the Huo family answered the phone, but his attitude was very cold, as if he was saying that you are not very good, and finally came to beg me.
"I'll take care of this, don't worry about it."
Later, the issue of contract termination was resolved smoothly. Although Jiang Yizhuo was relieved, he was not too happy.This was done by the young master of the Huo family, and has nothing to do with him.
He came back and fell into a coma for a few days as usual, then drove his mother and Huo Bai out for dinner, bought a lot of new toys for the baby, and took the baby to an amusement park in the suburbs during the weekend.
Xiao Ke had a great time and was so tired that he fell asleep in the car on the way back.
"It's exhausting."
Huo Bai rubbed his little face, and shook him in his arms, just like when he was a child.The baby has been growing so fast recently that he can hardly hold him. He looks like a handsome boy with long legs.
These long legs seem to have been inherited from Xiang Siqi.Thinking of this, Huo Bai's heart suddenly felt heavy.
"Has Huo Siqi recently...has he come to see you?"
Jiang Yizhuo held the steering wheel, hesitated, and asked carefully.
