White Swan

Chapter 38

"What did I tell you last time?"

After dinner, He Haoyun took Qiao Fei back to the hotel room, dragged him into the bedroom and slammed the door behind him.Qiao Fei was dragged to the side of the bed by his arms, and his calf bone hit the side of the bed, causing him to let out a small cry of pain due to the pain.

He Haoyun remained unmoved, pulled Qiao Fei by the shoulder and turned the person to face him, bent down and leaned close to his ear: "What did you say to him?"

Qiao Fei was speechless, shook her head slightly, and quietly hid back.

"Tell me the truth, are you here to see him?" He Haoyun took off his coat and threw it on the ground casually, rolling up the sleeves of his black sweater.

"No, it's not..." Qiao Fei swallowed, and stumbled when speaking.

"What did I say last time?"

"He is the choreographer of our dance company, how, how could I not talk to him?" Qiao Fei couldn't help but quibble.He felt that He Haoyun was making unreasonable words, even though he was trembling with fear, he still wanted to speak out, he was afraid that if he didn't speak now, he would not have a chance later.

"Then what does it mean that you are so close to him? What does it mean that he is in front of you?"

Qiao Fei didn't know how to answer, she clenched her sleeves tightly, bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at He Haoyun.

"Itchy skin again?" He Haoyun stretched out his hand and pushed Qiao Fei, "Huh? May I ask you something?"

He Haoyun felt that Qiao Fei's clothes were in the way, so he directly pulled his coat.Qiao Fei was so frightened that she didn't dare to move, she half-lyed on the bed and let He Haoyun roughly peel off his coat and throw it aside.

A button of the sweater inside was torn off, and it collapsed to the corner of the room, making a few crisp sounds.

After all, He Haoyun couldn't find out the reason from Qiao Fei.Halfway through, the secretary called, and the harsh ringtone interrupted him.

The New Year's Day holiday, but the company will not rest when something happens. It seems that there is something wrong with some documents, and a few signatures are missing in a contract that should be signed.

He Haoyun cursed Qiao Fei to get out of the room.Qiao Fei complied, and obediently closed the door for He Haoyun when he left.

The clothes on his body were torn in a mess, he bit his lips tightly to keep the tears from falling, picked up the jacket on the ground, put it on, and pulled the zipper to the top to cover the collar with a button missing.

It was very late, the hotel lobby was deserted, and most people were in warm rooms. Qiao Fei wandered aimlessly in the hotel, trying to find a place to sit for a while.

There is a small terrace on the west side of the lobby, which is separated by several glass doors.A cold wind with some snowflakes blowing in from the open door attracted Qiao Fei's attention.He took a look and walked over there, thinking that it would be okay to sit on the terrace.

Before he opened the door, he heard someone talking on the balcony.The man's voice was gentle and magnetic, and he spoke slowly, which Qiao Fei was familiar with.

It was Shi Xubai's voice.

Qiao Fei glanced out through the transparent glass door. Shi Xubai was half lying and half leaning on the recliner, with his head propped on his right hand, as if his eyes were closed.The temperature at night was very low, Shi Xubai was wearing a white down jacket, the zipper on the chest was opened a little, revealing the camel turtleneck sweater inside.

Qiao Fei was standing on the side of the recliner, and Shi Xubai couldn't see him if he didn't turn his head.He was in a better mood, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little. He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but he heard the voice of another person talking next to him.

He reacted for a while before realizing that Xu Bai was talking on the phone.

The voice on the other end of the phone was very low, a little deep and hoarse, and the man asked, "Are you still doing physical therapy recently?"

The mobile phone was placed on the glass table next to the recliner, and the hands-free was turned on.

Qiao Fei put down the hand that was already on the glass door, turned around and wanted to leave, it is impolite to eavesdrop on what others are saying, even if he is curious, he can't eavesdrop.

"I'm doing it." Shi Xubai's voice sounded very tired, and the slightly upturned ending became low and dull.

Qiao Fei has never seen Shi Xubai like this.

His white sun seemed to no longer shine.

The person on the phone continued to ask, "What did the doctor say?"

Shi Xubai replied: "Still doing rehabilitation, the progress is relatively slow, maybe another month."

What rehab?Qiao Fei had already turned around and took two steps, but then stopped again, and couldn't help walking closer to the door.

"It's been almost six months, how long are you going to stay in China?" The voice on the other side of the phone was a little impatient, "Come back as soon as possible, the next season's dance drama is about to be cast."

"I know, I'll go back when my knee gets better."

Something stabbed the inside of her head, Qiao Fei frowned and took a step forward.Isn't Shi Xubai unable to dance? It's been said in the magazines that his knee injury is too serious and he won't be able to dance in the future.

But why did he say that he is still doing rehabilitation and that the situation will get better.Qiao Fei thought of many possibilities in a short period of time, trying to come up with a suitable reason for Shi Xubai.

He first wondered if Shi Xubai's knee really got better, and he is now undergoing rehabilitation treatment.So he can dance?Before Qiao Fei had time to be happy for Shi Xubai, another new idea popped up.

He just said he would go back, would go abroad.

But he clearly said that he would not leave.

Qiao Fei had the worst idea in his heart, he didn't dare to think about it carefully, he told himself that he wouldn't, Shi Xubai wouldn't treat him like this.

That was when Shi Xubai lied to him.

"When you leave, don't forget to take care of the rented house. Anyway, you won't be returning to China." The speaker's tone was a little rough, as if he was angry.

Shi Xubai's voice was cold and alienated, he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows twice before speaking: "I know."

"I shouldn't have let you go in the first place. It's said that the old Chinese doctors in China are so powerful that they still can't cure you after half a year."

Qiao Fei didn't hear what the man said later, only what Shi Xubai said echoed in his mind.

What does he mean, will he go?Won't you come back after leaving?Qiao Fei really wanted to push open the door and rush out, asking what Xu Bai was talking about when questioning, and asking the matter clearly.

The hand had already been placed on the doorknob, and finally fell weakly.That's pretty clear, isn't it.It turned out that Shi Xubai didn't want to come back to settle down, he just came for treatment.

For a moment, Qiao Fei felt that the world was so unfair, why would the only person he trusted lie to him, and his only light would go out.

Qiao Fei took two steps back and almost knocked over a decorative vase by the window.He frantically straightened the crumbling vase and gently put it back on the window sill.

It turns out that one day the sun will stop shining.

It's just that Qiao Fei has touched the light before, so she is even more unwilling to stay in the dark.

It might be the same as being told that someone has died. At that moment, you don’t cry, you just keep resisting, telling yourself it’s not true.

So Qiao Fei just turned around silently, walked away from the balcony door lightly, and walked back to the room numbly.He opened the door with the key card, and when he looked up, he saw He Haoyun's gloomy face.

"Where did you die?" He Haoyun leaned against the door, folded his arms and looked down at Qiao Fei. He had a cold expression, a glass of red wine in his hand, and a shirt on.

Qiao Fei didn't seem to hear, she turned around slowly and looked up at He Haoyun, her eyes were blank.

"Didn't you hear me? Ask you something?"

Qiao Fei thought about it for a while before remembering what He Haoyun asked him, and replied in a low voice: "You let me go out..."

"Damn, I asked you to go to the living room, not to go out." He Haoyun interrupted him, suddenly thought of something, looked at Qiao Fei, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you go to find that surname?"

When Qiao Fei heard Shi Xubai's name, her eyes turned red involuntarily, she swallowed twice, but opened her mouth but said nothing.

Seeing that Qiao Fei didn't answer, He Haoyun thought that he had acquiesced, so he raised his hand angrily and wanted to wave at him, but before he touched Qiao Fei, he was hugged by the boy.

The thin boy in his arms was trembling, He Haoyun narrowed his eyes, wondering what Qiao Fei was thinking suspiciously.There was a small choking sound in his chest like a milk cat, and his shirt was slightly wet by Qiao Fei.

He Haoyun raised his palm in the air, landed on Qiao Fei's head, grabbed his hair, finally sighed, and slowly let go.His heart softened for a rare time, and he rubbed Qiao Fei's soft hair vigorously with his big hands.

"You are not allowed to talk to him in the future, you are mine." He Haoyun's voice softened, "Did you hear that, sweetheart?"

"Even if he is your director, it won't be so simple to let me see next time."

"Okay, don't cry, what are you crying for?" He Haoyun didn't bother to think about why Qiao Fei was crying, he just liked seeing the boy's fragility.

Today is December 31st, and tomorrow is a new year.When people all over the world make New Year's wishes, Qiao Fei doesn't want to make any, just because he knows that the wishes will not come true.

He Haoyun hugged Qiao Fei loosely, snorted on his back, and heard him say something softly.He didn't hear clearly, and was not interested in what Qiao Fei said, so he raised his head and finished the red wine in the glass.

Qiao Fei sobbed, her heart ached like a blunt knife cut bloodshot.

I don't want to dance anymore.
