Rebirth: Different Way - Chapter 38

    Li Mingxuan couldn’t remember how many times he redialed the familiar group of numbers along the way, but no matter how he redialed, the mechanical “the other party didn’t answer” always came out of the receiver.

    Haicheng and Zhongjing are not far away, only an hour flight. This distance Li Mingxuan has flown countless times in the past, but never once made him feel so long. Li Mingxuan stared out the window unconsciously, the night sky was full of stars, like blue velvet inlaid with countless sparkling diamonds. This kind of beauty is rarely seen by people living in the city, but Li Mingxuan has no idea of ​​appreciating it at all, all that haunts his mind is the phone call he missed.

    What does Shen Xi want to say to him?

    This is a question that Li Mingxuan has asked himself countless times, and he is eager to know the answer. Although Shen Xi may have just greeted him politely, there was always a faint but firm voice in Li Mingxuan’s heart, that this call was very important to him, and it seemed as if he lost something important if he missed it.

    “Shen Xi” Li Mingxuan recited the name silently in his heart and sighed silently.

    At two o’clock in the morning, the three people singing HIGH finally put down the microphones in their hands, and only the background music was left in the private room.

    Old K, who held the microphone and never let go, slumped down on the sofa contentedly, and shouted at Shen Xi in a hoarse voice, “Xiao Xixi, I’ll just change career as a singer too.”

    Shen Xi glanced at him lazily, and teased, “I’m worried that there are no such hard-spoken fans.”

    Fang Luowei was drinking water by the side, he wanted to laugh when he heard the words, but he held back, his face flushed.

    Shen Xi didn’t pay attention to the weight of the old K, and groaned and was about to break free, when the old K suddenly stopped and looked puzzled, “Did you hear anything? “

    “What?” Shen Xi questioned

    Old K listened attentively for a long time, suddenly reached out and picked up Shen Xi’s bag on one side, and pulled out Shen Xi’s mobile phone a few times.

    A faint fluorescent light lit up from the display screen, the faint bell rang continuously, and the three words Li Mingxuan came into the eyes of old K.

    Old K hesitantly held the mobile phone and handed it to Shen Xi, Shen Xi frowned slightly, pushed away Old K and walked out of the private room with the mobile phone.

    Fang Luowei looked over curiously, “Who else would look for Shen Xi so late?”

    Old K’s eyes flashed a bit of solemnity, and he said with a headache, “Li Mingxuan.” After saying this, he thought that Fang Luowei might not know Li Mingxuan, and immediately added, “Shen Xi’s cousin.”

    The sound insulation of the Congress was well done. Shen Xi found a secluded corner, pressed the call button, and put the phone to her ear.

    Li Mingxuan did not expect the call to be connected. After he had been disappointed countless times, when the three words in the call were displayed, he had a momentary trance.

    No one spoke on the other side of the phone, the two were silent with each other, listening to each other’s light breathing. Li Mingxuan came back to his senses and wanted to speak, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t suppress my thoughts all night, and I rushed back to Zhongjing from Haicheng in a frantic night. In the torment of worrying about gains and losses, everything turned into the most common greeting, “Xiao Xi, I’m back.”

    “Xiao Xi, I’m back.” There were too many emotions in just a few words, so they got into Shen Xi’s ears. Shen Xi subconsciously asked, “Why did you book such a late flight?”

    In the silent night, the surprise in Shen Xi’s words clearly fell into Li Mingxuan’s ears, Li Mingxuan fell silent, and said softly, “Suddenly I remembered something.”

    Shen Xi frowned, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind, and asked hesitantly, “Are you now in Jingtai Community?”

    Jingtai Community is the community where Shen Xi’s apartment is located, Li Mingxuan smiled wryly and gave a low “um”.

    Shen Xi only felt that the sound of “Hmm!” seemed to fall into her heart, and some inappropriate emotion rose from the bottom of her heart, and took two irritable steps, Shen Xi heard it His own voice, “You wait for me, I’ll go back right away.”

    He simply hung up the phone, Shen Xi was about to return to the private room, but suddenly saw a series of missed calls on the phone. Reaching out and opening it, all the calls came from the same number, starting at 9 o’clock last night and continuing until now, only there was a short one-hour blank in the middle of the early morning.

    Shen Xi stared at these phones with complicated eyes, swiped her fingers one by one, and finally chose to delete them all.

    Back to the private room, Old K was about to make a comeback after a short rest, when Shen Xi interrupted them, “I have something to go back first.”

    Fang Luowei looked at Shen Xi unexpectedly, what Lao K thought of, looked at Shen Xi suspiciously, and said tentatively, “Li Mingxuan is back from a business trip?”

    Shen Xi nodded, Old K made persistent efforts, “Now at your door?”

    Shen Xi glanced at Old K with a half-smile, and Old K immediately stretched out his hand and made a zipper action, indicating that he didn’t say anything.

    Fang Luowei’s eyes swept between the two of them, and vaguely understood something, and a trace of sadness that he couldn’t even explain himself slowly poured out of his heart.

    Shen Xi didn’t stay much, she turned around and left after explaining a few words.

    Behind him, Old K stared at the figure he left in a hurry, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, but after thinking about it, Shen Xi is so perverted, it is estimated that Li Mingxuan should be more worried, so he feels again It’s better, I have to pull Fang Luowei to sing a duet of love songs.

    Fang Luowei was forced to sing one after another with Lao K. What made him unbearable was that Lao K insisted on holding his voice to sing a female voice.

    When Fang Luowei was tortured by the old K, she nearly collapsed, Shen Xi soared the speed to 200, and the signboard of Jingtai Community was faintly visible.

    A few minutes later, Shen Xi parked the car downstairs, and when she heard a sound, a straight figure in front of the apartment building slowly walked over. Under the dim yellow street light, Li Mingxuan walked out of the dark step by step, while Shen Xi sat in the car, only to feel that her heartbeat increased inexplicably.

    The person who had missed him all the way stood in front of him like this, all kinds of complicated emotions were surging in Li Mingxuan’s heart, but in the end he just returned a smile to Shen Xi as always.

    The two returned to the apartment as usual, took a shower and changed their clothes, Li Mingxuan sat on the bedside, silently watching Shen Xi packing up. He rushed back from Haicheng overnight with a burst of anger, but after seeing Shen Xi, the anger dissipated little by little, and his father’s reminder appeared in his mind again.

    The struggle of the past ten days seems to have continued to the present, Li Mingxuan smiled silently.

    Shen Xi didn’t notice Li Mingxuan’s strangeness.

    “Cousin still not sleeping?” Shen Xi’s voice sounded vaguely, with a hint of sleepiness.

    Li Mingxuan gave Shen Xi a gentle look and lay beside him, Shen Xi rubbed into Li Mingxuan’s arms and hugged him. Li Mingxuan’s heart jumped, Shen Xi seemed to feel uncomfortable in his posture, and moved in his arms, but accidentally touched a place that shouldn’t be touched.

    A solid object suddenly stood up against Shen Xi’s lower abdomen, and the two of them froze there at the same time.

    Shen Xi was the first to react, her body slowly began to move backwards, Li Mingxuan’s heart sank little by little with Shen Xi’s movements. He has been suppressing his feelings in front of Shen Xi, what he is afraid of is the rejection and contempt that Shen Xi will have after knowing the truth. Now that Shen Xi’s behavior has explained everything, Li Mingxuan only feels that his heart is full of bitterness.

    He watched Shen Xi’s movements silently, until Shen Xi left his embrace and their eyes met.

    To Li Mingxuan’s surprise, Shen Xi’s eyes didn’t have the repulsion he expected, but indescribably weird.

    “Cousin, are you gay?”

    This sentence is purely a question, Li Mingxuan nodded silently.

    The strange look on Shen Xi’s face became more obvious, “Cousin, do you like me?”

    This sentence is still just a simple question, Li Mingxuan looked at Shen Xi’s face, and nodded with difficulty.

    Shen Xi seemed very surprised, he looked at Li Mingxuan in surprise, then laughed at himself, “Cousin, what do you like about me?”

    Shen Xi’s expression fell into Li Mingxuan’s eyes, making his whole heart tugged together. Almost subconsciously, Li Mingxuan reached out and hugged Shen Xi in his arms. Shen Xi instinctively wanted to push Li Mingxuan away, but Li Mingxuan refused to let go, but instead hugged him harder.

    Shen Xi began to struggle hard, Li Mingxuan held him tightly in his arms, ignoring Shen Xi’s struggle, lowered his head and whispered in his ear, “Xiao Xi, you are fine ,I like you.”

    This sentence was like a spell, Shen Xi’s movements stopped, and she lay stiffly in Li Mingxuan’s arms.

    Li Mingxuan hugged the person in his arms in distress, and Shen Xi’s low voice came out, “Cousin, do you really like me?”

    Li Mingxuan said softly but firmly, “I like it!”

    The person in his arms quieted down, and after a while, Shen Xi’s voice sounded again, “Cousin, will you leave me?”

    Before Li Mingxuan could answer, Shen Xi laughed at herself, “When I was a child, my mother said she liked me, my grandfather said I liked me, and my uncle said I liked me, but they all left me alone and left. already.”

    Although Shen Xi said that the departure of several people was not suitable for him, Li Mingxuan was still sour in his heart.

     Gently kissed Shen Xi on the head, Li Mingxuan said in a low voice, “Mr. Han and the others’ departure is a last resort. I will never leave Xiao Xi, no matter it is Life or death, I promise.”

    Li Mingxuan’s words comforted Shen Xi very well, Shen Xi took the initiative to rub in his arms, and gave a low hum.

    At the moment when the promise was made, Li Mingxuan’s eyes fell gently on Shen Xi, and all the struggles and hesitations in the past disappeared. He knew that he had chosen an extremely difficult path, father, mother, uncle, Shen Ji, maybe no one would agree with them being together, but the love went on and on, he couldn’t control himself, he just wanted to be with Shen Ji Xi together.

    In a place where Li Mingxuan could not see, the corners of Shen Xi’s mouth slowly raised to reveal a pleasant arc.
