Visa On Arrival Chapter 23
byfarmhouse
On the third day after being discharged from the hospital, she returned to the company.
The sun shone in from the floor-to-ceiling window, falling on his desk and the pot of dying wedding oil painting spider plant.
He sat down and looked at the pot of wedding oil painting spider plant, and was in a daze for a while.
In the afternoon, she and Xu Xingci made an appointment at the coffee shop downstairs of the company.
The two sat facing each other, Xu Xingci looked at her with complicated eyes, “Are you feeling better?”
“Yeah.”
“About the car accident… I was almost frightened when I heard about it.”
“Yeah.”
There was silence for a while.
Xu Xingci spoke first: “You called me here to talk about…that thing, right?”
Qi Ranyue nodded.
“Let’s break up!”
Xu Xingci was stunned for a moment, but seemed to have expected it. He smiled bitterly and lowered his head to look at the cup of coffee in front of him.
“Why?” Xu Xingci raised his head and looked at her with red eyes for a long time, stubbornly wanting to hear an answer. Finally, he sighed.
“Okay,” he said, “I understand.”
Qi Ranyue looked at him and wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
Xu Xingci stood up, smiled and said, “I’m leaving!”
She just sat there, watching his back as he disappeared through the door.
I didn’t cry, I didn’t feel anything, I just felt a little sorry for him, but that was okay.
From that day on, she seemed to be a changed person.
She applied to Qi Lan for many projects, one after another, and her schedule was full.
There are endless meetings, endless documents, and endless errands.
Qi Lan looked at her schedule and frowned.
She began to fill herself with busyness and things she didn’t dare to think about. She would come home every day and fall asleep. She had no energy to think about anything else, no energy to think about that person, no energy to think about that early morning, that kiss, that door, and those two people in pajamas.
That’s it.
fine.
The phone vibrated.
Qi Ranyue was reading a document, looking away from the computer screen and glancing at it.
It’s Xu Xingci!
The message only has one line: Can I have one last meal with you and make it the most memorable meal for you and me?
Qi Ranyue looked at the line of words and was stunned for a few seconds, her fingers hovering above the screen.
One last meal.
The most impressive meal.
It reminded her of what she said to Xu Xingci that day at Sabro Caribeo, of the words “I understand” she said in the coffee shop that day, of the days he walked with her this year, of his back when he turned to leave…
She moved her fingers and typed one word: OK.
Then put down the phone and continue reading the file.
Two days later, at nine o’clock in the evening.
Qi Ranyue was still in the office, staring at the report on the computer screen, her eyes a little sore.
The phone rang.
“I’m already downstairs.”
Qi Ranyue took a look and replied: Okay!
Turn off the computer, pack your things, pick up your bag and go downstairs.
There was that familiar car parked in front of the company.
He was standing next to the car, wearing a black windbreaker. He was still so handsome and cool. When he saw her coming out, he smiled at her.
That smile is still so gentle.
“Have you been waiting for a long time?”
“No, I just arrived.” Xu Xingci opened the car door and she sat in.
Qi Ranyue leaned on the passenger seat, looked at the street scene sliding by the window, and asked softly: “Where should we go to eat later?”
Xu Xingci held the steering wheel, looked forward, and curved the corners of his mouth, “Let’s go to a farmhouse. Don’t you particularly like Cantonese food?”
Qi Ranyue turned to look at him, “Farmhouse?”
“Yeah!” Xu Xingci nodded, “That store is open until two in the morning.”
Qi Ranyue was stunned for a moment.
Farmhouse at two o’clock in the morning?
Xu Xingci seemed to see her doubts and smiled and said, “The place is very remote, but the food is delicious. I have already reserved a table. I have always wanted to take you to eat, but there was no chance, so just think of it as our last meal. It happens to be your favorite too. Will you remember me when you go to eat at a farmhouse in the future?”
“Yeah, maybe!” Qi Rantuo responded softly, his voice as light as a casual comment.
Xu Xingci tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
There are fewer and fewer street lights outside the window, replaced by dark fields and occasional cold lights flashing in the distance.
The night breeze came in through the half-open window, carrying a hint of earth and grass.
Qi Ranyue leaned on the back of the chair and looked out the window. She had an indescribable feeling in her heart, that something was not right. She glanced at him quietly.
Xu Xingci held the steering wheel, his expression looked the same as usual, and there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
But she still felt something wasn’t right.
Is it because it’s too dark?
Is this road too far away?
She has never heard of this farmhouse that is open until 2:30?
Qi Ranyue’s hands slowly tightened the seat belt.
The sixth sense, that inexplicable sixth sense, is sounding the alarm crazily in the brain.
It’s not safe, it’s not safe here.
Qi Ranyue took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: “How long will it take? How far will it take to get here?”
“Come on, wait a moment!” He responded in a relaxed tone.
The car drove for a few more minutes, and suddenly the vision suddenly opened up.
A brightly lit farmhouse appeared in front of us, and the lamps illuminated the entire yard very brightly.
It’s really a farmhouse!
“We’re here, get off the car!”
Qi Ranyue nodded, unbuckled her seat belt, and opened the car door.
The night breeze blew over, carrying the aroma of barbecue and a little bit of firewood.
She stood there, looking at the lights, and the tight string in her heart slowly relaxed. It turned out that she was overthinking.
They found a round table and sat down.
The waiter came over and directly ordered some dishes for them to choose from without taking a menu.
“Come on, have some,” Xu Xingci said, “After all, it’s the Cantonese food you like.”
“Okay!”
“Order a chicken, half of which is pork loin chicken wine, and half of which is boiled chicken.”
“Steamed Loach”
“Fried wheat with garlic paste”
“Fried Beans with Five Flowers”
“Another portion of fried beef river and two portions of white rice, thank you!”
The old lady who was the waiter said, “Beauty, there is Laohuo delicious soup today! Do you want one?”
“Okay!”
The food came slowly.
Qi Ranyue’s eyes lit up little by little as she ate.
“It’s really delicious!” Qi Ranyue raised her head to look at it, with a smile of surprise and satisfaction on her lips, “You are so good at choosing!”
Xu Xingci was stunned for a moment when he looked at her smile. She hadn’t seen that smile in a long time. It was the kind of satisfied smile that really came from the heart after eating something delicious.
He smiled, picked up his chopsticks and gave Qi Ranyue a piece of chicken, “If it’s delicious, eat more.”
After having enough wine and food.
“Rinse your mouth.” Xu Xingci handed over a glass of water with a gentle voice.
“Thank you!” Qi Ranyue took a sip of water. It was warm and just right in her mouth. She rinsed it and swallowed it.
then.
My head suddenly started to feel dizzy.
She was stunned for a moment and blinked.
No!
It just doesn’t feel right!
His vision began to blur, and the man in front of him turned into two, dangling back and forth.
Qi Ranyue supported the table and wanted to stand up, but her legs were so weak that she had no strength at all.
She raised her head and looked at Xu Xingci.
That face was still smiling, and it was still that kind of gentle, reassuring smile, but now that smile fell in her eyes, it suddenly became unfamiliar.
“You…” Qi Ranyue spoke, her voice soft.
Xu Xingci looked at her and said nothing.
Qi Ranyue saw his lips move, as if he was saying something, but she couldn’t hear clearly, her ears were buzzing, and the second before she closed her eyes, she saw him stand up and walk towards her.
His vision went dark.
Don’t know anything anymore…
The waiter at the farmhouse saw Qi Ranyue fainting and ran over to ask what happened.
Xu Xingci smiled gently and said, “It’s okay. My girlfriend is just a little dizzy. She gets like this when she eats too much. It’s okay. You can go and do your work.”
The waiter said nothing more and turned back to do his own work.
Xu Xingci opened the back door, put her into the back seat, let her lie down, and closed the door.
He got into the driver’s seat and started the car.
The car drove into the night.
