white lie

Chapter 13

一

On this day, Huang Yuanxi went to Zhang Junqi for dinner.

The whole story was that Huang Yuanxi and Zhang Junqi hadn't seen each other for four months since the suspension of classes, and he planned to talk to her about old times.

Zhang Junqi readily agreed to him, because she wanted to ask his opinion on something.

Huang Yuanxi asked her out for dinner, on the surface to reminisce about the old days, but in fact he had something to ask.

However, when the two of them met, for some reason, they avoided talking about the things they wanted to discuss, talking about the progress of their studies, the quality of the lunch, and even gossiping about their classmates.

They found that it was much more difficult to start the topic than imagined, so they had to keep talking about irrelevant topics to break the awkward atmosphere.

At the same time, they are all staring at the time, hoping that the other party will focus on it as soon as possible.

However, after the whole dinner, they couldn't open up the topic, they just kept playing around the edges, suggesting that the other party should get down to business as soon as possible.

Finally, when they were about to take the subway home, Huang Yuanxi couldn't help but tell the reason for eating that day.

"Don't go now, actually...I asked you out today because I wanted to discuss your sister's affairs." Huang Yuanxi murmured.

Zhang Junqi agreed to go to the appointment, not only because she hid at home for too long and wanted to come out for a walk, but also because Huang Yuanxi was Huang Zhijun's cousin, and she wanted to deduce who that Huang Zhijun was from him.

Also, she wants to know what he thinks about homosexuality as a guy.

"Let's go for a walk by the river! It seems that everyone has a lot to say." Huang Yuanxi offered.

They talked and walked, and soon came to the river.

"Your sister... likes girls, you know that?" Huang Yuanxi asked Zhang Junqi tactfully.

"How could I not know? I also know that my sister likes your cousin!" Zhang Junqi said loudly, "What kind of spell did your cousin cast to fascinate my sister in less than a month? , how could this happen?"

"Maybe it's the drawbridge effect," Huang Yuanxi explained, "Maybe it's a friend in need."

"The situation is worse now than it was then. Why didn't she fall in love with me? Why did she fall in love with a girl who was bedridden for a long time? Is Huang Zhijun really so nice?" Zhang Junqi said excitedly.

Huang Yuanxi sighed deeply, his younger sister had said similar things.

In other words, when Huang Qingmei confessed to Zhang Yaqi, Huang Yuanxi, Huang Songjiang and Huang Zhiqi were all present.

They listened to their sister's confession being rejected and suffered a second blow.

They were first shocked by the fact that their sister liked girls, and secondly, they were shocked again when they learned that the sweetheart of the person she liked was their own relatives.

"Let me tell you... Huang Zhijun is not the only one who likes your sister... Actually, all my sisters like her..." Huang Yuanxi said helplessly.

"What are you talking about?! Your sister... likes my sister?" Zhang Junqi was taken aback and couldn't believe his words.

"I can't believe it either... Such a thing happened, the palm is fleshy, and the back of the hand is also fleshy, I don't know what to do..." Huang Yuanxi rarely expressed his confusion.

"As an older brother, it's normal to support your younger sister, right? Of course it's your own sister!" Zhang Junqi said in amazement, "What a waste, your younger sister is a beauty, and she actually likes women. Did you two brothers do something good? ’ she said with a sigh.

Huang Yuanxi let out a sigh of relief, let's be each other.

"You shouldn't just ask me about this matter, what else do you want to ask? Tell me everything, and let my sister share your worries!" Zhang Junqi said with a smile.

"It's like this... Huang Zhiqi lied to her sister and said that their father is still alive. I feel so pitiful looking at her... They are all the same. I want to see your opinion." Huang Yuanxi said.

"It's too much for you to be a sister! You hide such a big thing from her! Is this what a sister should do?" Zhang Junqi said angrily.

In fact, more than three months ago, when she heard about this incident, she already wanted to scold her severely, but the fact that Zhang Yaqi liked girls had too much impact on her, so she temporarily ignored it.

However, now that she has accepted the fact that her younger sister likes girls, she can no longer ignore it.

"She is really too much...for the sake of my sister's recovery, I don't want to tell her about my father's death? What kind of bullshit logic is this? She will be discharged from the hospital in late August at the latest, and she will know about it by then, if she knows My sister lied to her, wouldn't the secondary damage be even greater? What is going on in her mind?" Zhang Junqi roared, venting her dissatisfaction.

"Don't be so excited... calm down, this won't solve the problem..." Huang Yuanxi quickly comforted her.

"Is there really a problem... You also know that I will be angry when I encounter these things..." Zhang Junqi said after calming down a little.

"Okay, okay, I know you are very angry, but how to solve the problem is the key point." Huang Yuanxi continued to comfort her.

"How to solve it? Of course tell her the truth! But, wait until she talks about it before telling her, otherwise it would be strange to talk about it for no reason." Zhang Junqi said calmly.

Huang Yuanxi nodded, this is the only way to go now.

On this day, Huang Qingmei stayed at home in a daze as usual.

It has been nearly half a year since the suspension of classes, from the suspension of classes during the winter vacation to the summer vacation.

Everyday life is to stay at home to study, watch animation, watch dramas, listen to music and chat with friends through communication software.

But today, it was a rare visitor who was looking for her.

"Hello? Are you Huang Qingmei?" the other end of the phone receiver asked, "Yes, I am. What can I do?"

"I'm Huang Zhijun, your second cousin..." she asked Huang Qingmei, "Do you remember me?"

"I remember you... You are the girl who has been in the long-term hospital... What do you want from me?" Huang Qingmei asked her.

The rival in love has come to her, she thought.

She never understood why Zhang Yaqi fell in love with her, and she wanted to know who Huang Zhijun was.

"I want to ask, is my sister living in your house?" Huang Zhijun tested her.

In other words, during the eight months between the accidental death of Cheng Meiling and Zhang Qihui's release from prison, Zhang Yaqi's two sisters stayed at their aunt's house because there were no adults in their original family.

Their mother is an only child, and their father has an older brother. From this, it can be deduced that if their father is really dead, Huang Zhiqi should live in Huang Qingmei's house.

Huang Qingmei didn't think of this, so she responded casually, yes.

Hearing the response from the other end of the phone, Huang Qingmei immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing.

Huang Zhijun asked in a trembling voice if her father was dead.

Huang Qingmei had no choice but to tell the truth.

Just when Huang Qingmei was going to comfort her and watch her mourn, Huang Zhijun hung up.

Huang Qingmei looked up to the sky and sighed deeply when she saw that the flood was hard to recover.

In a month, she will be discharged from the hospital.

What should I do?

Today is a great day for Hong Kong people.

The red snake that has ravaged Hong Kong for nearly seven months is finally expected to subside.

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have successfully identified its pathogens and succeeded in eradicating them for the first time.

So far, the epidemic has killed nearly 15 people and infected more than 100 million people.

Looking forward to the economic recovery driven by the end of the epidemic, the Hang Seng Index soared by [-] points, and investors began to look forward to the arrival of spring.

Zhang Qihui, who took advantage of the big miracle day to make a fortune, smiled very happily, and the hard days were finally coming to an end.

This time it was really a turnaround.Zhang Qihui thought to himself.

In May, the garage closed down because of bad business, and he lost his job because of this, so he had to live off his savings.

In June, the savings began to show signs of bottoming out, and we had no choice but to save money. The pocket money of the two sisters had to be sacrificed.

He thought about selling off the leftovers from the car dealership, but at that time, the only goal in life was to save his own life, and no one paid attention to other things, not even the hot real estate. No one cares about these small commodities.

The arrival of this good news was just in time for him. After half a year of hard life, they are finally coming out.

Before this day, the first thing I felt when I woke up every day was that today is also an ominous day. I don’t want the dawn to make the situation more serious.The daily news is how many people have increased the number of red snake patients, how many people have died, and so on. Watching these negative news every day, it is inevitable to become depressed.

However, from now on, the arrival of every sunrise symbolizes longing and hope, and he is optimistic that good days are coming soon.

Zhang Qihui danced and danced, full of hope.However, his two daughters could not feel the joy of liberation.

They have some thoughts in their hearts, but they can't say it out.

五

It was an unusually hot night, with the sun still almost thirty degrees after sunset.

The heat was unbearable, and there was one more thing that was equally unbearable.

It was just three weeks ago that she slipped her tongue and told Huang Zhijun about her father's death. She has always been very troubled, not knowing whether the decision to confess was right or wrong.

Judging from Huang Zhijun's reaction, she seemed to be unaware of her father's death.

She felt unreasonable, how could a daughter not know that her father died for half a year?

She thought about it and felt something was wrong, so she called her again.

She said that her sister said that her father was still alive and wished her a speedy recovery.

However, even Zhang Junqi knew that her father was dead, so it was impossible for her not to know that her father was dead.

This is simply impossible!Didn't she cry when the body was recognized, saying that Dad didn't want to leave?She is simply lying!

Huang Qingmei cursed in her heart.

Judging from her words, Huang Zhijun didn't seem to know about her sister being detained in the men's restroom.

However, Huang Qingmei did not intend to tell her about this, lest she be hit again.

After hearing Zhijun's testimony, Huang Qingmei began to rethink what kind of person her cohabiting cousin is.

六

Tomorrow is the big day for Huang Zhijun to be discharged from the hospital, but she is not happy.

Her father, who had been silently supporting her, was killed by her grandfather in mid-January.

However, it happened more than half a year ago, and it was only at the end of last month that she learned of her father's death.

She could not accept the news of her father's death, as if all her hard work had been in vain.

She really wanted to repay her father for his silent devotion to her, but now there is no such opportunity.

If I didn't have this damn disease, then nothing would have happened.

Parents divorced, mother fell, and sister was bullied.

She desperately looks forward to being released from the hospital to undo the damage she has done to the family and help them get back on track.

However, her father was dead, and she could no longer make up for the damage she had caused.

She blamed God for being so cruel and took her father away at the last moment, separating them from Yin and Yang, so that they could not see each other again.

At the same time, she was also very angry, why her sister and Yaqi lied to her.

She felt that her sister was too good, and wanted to hide such a big matter from her. Instead, she complained to her about the trivial things that she was gossiped about, and she exaggerated; but she never mentioned her father's death. Don't think of yourself as family.

She never thought that her sister would be so dark, lying to deceive herself, concealing the truth of her father's death, and lying that her father was still alive.

Now, every time she thinks back to what Huang Zhiqi said to her in May, she can't help but feel sick.

In fact, she didn't just believe Huang Qingmei's one-sided statement. After Huang Qingmei confessed, she also asked her uncle, aunt and two cousins, and their confessions were exactly the same as Huang Qingmei's.

However, when she asked her sister and Zhang Yaqi again, they both lied to her that her father was still alive.

She couldn't understand them, why did they make up lies to deceive her?

The only reasonable explanation is that she doesn’t want to affect her recovery progress. However, she will be discharged sooner or later. When she finds out that her father is not at home, this lie will be exposed; in fact, even if she cannot be discharged and her father has not visited her, she will suspicious.

All in all, it was impossible for them to deceive her, and there was no need for them to deceive her. She felt that it would do no good to destroy their relationship.

Moreover, it is human nature for a child to be depressed after the death of a parent, and it cannot be a reason to lie and deceive her.

She is very grateful to Huang Qingmei for telling her the truth, otherwise, she would have been kept in the dark, and they would continue to instill false expectations.

She thought of one thing.
