Siheyuan: starting from signing in to get roasted pig's trotters

Chapter 1257 Anxiety and Anger

They stood quietly in the lobby of the airport, with people coming and going around them, but they seemed to be in a quiet space.

"Are you... okay?" Zhao Aimin's voice was a little heavy, and he didn't know how to speak.

Sophora japonica nodded slightly but said nothing. She knew that now they were no longer lovers clinging to each other, but had become passers-by in each other's lives.

"I think... we should have a nice chat." Huaihua tried to break the awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Aimin nodded, knowing that this was a problem they had to face, and it was also their only way out. They walked out of the airport and headed home together, their hearts filled with unknown prospects.

A few days after returning to her hometown, Huaihua and Zhao Aimin finally had an in-depth conversation. They were sitting in the small courtyard of Huaihua's house, and the cool breeze blew by, blowing their hair.

"I know that a lot of things happened between us, and now we all have our own lives." Huaihua said, with a hint of heaviness in her voice.

Zhao Aimin nodded and looked into the distance, "Yes, we have all experienced a lot, and we have each taken a different path."

"I think the relationship between us may no longer exist." Huaihua's voice was trembling, "I can no longer expect anything from you."

Zhao Aimin nodded silently. He knew the implication of Huaihua's words, but there was still a trace of reluctance in his heart.

At this moment, a strange phone number called. Huaihua looked at her phone, her heart moved, and she answered the call.

"Hello, is this Sophora japonica?" A slightly greasy male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me, are you?" Huaihua asked.

"I'm Liu Lan, do you still remember me?" Liu Lan's voice was cheerful.

Huaihua's heart moved, and she remembered that Liu Lan was her classmate when she studied abroad. She couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "Liu Lan, long time no see, what's wrong with you?"

"I just returned to China, and I heard that you are also back, so I called to say hello." Liu Lan's voice sounded a little flattering, "We can make an appointment to meet and talk about the past."

Huaihua was a little surprised, but still agreed. However, in the next few meetings, Liu Lan began to act extremely attentive and frequently asked Huaihua out to eat and go shopping. Huaihua was a little uncomfortable with this change, but she still maintained basic trust in Liu Lan.

However, Sophora japonica did not know that Liu Lan's purpose was not simple. He secretly tried to use Sophora japonica to achieve his own goals. It's all still hidden beneath the surface, waiting to be exposed.

On a warm night, Huaihua and Li Tong decided to chat with Zhao Aimin and drink some wine to relax. They arrived at a tavern, ordered some snacks and beers, sat at a table in the corner and started talking.

"I haven't seen Zhao Aimin for a long time. How is he doing lately?" Huaihua asked, with a hint of expectation in her heart.

Li Tong frowned and said with a hint of regret: "He has been very busy recently. He seems to be busy with some work."

Huaihua nodded after hearing this, feeling a little disappointed. She had hoped that Zhao Aimin would contact her, or at least meet him when he returned to China, but this was not the case.

"Has he ever mentioned the matter between you two to you?" Li Tong suddenly changed the topic, trying to understand Sophora japonica's mood.

Huaihua shook her head, "No, there seems to be nothing left to talk about between us."

Li Tong was silent for a while. He knew that Huaihua still had deep feelings for Zhao Aimin, but he could not make any changes. He looked at Sophora japonica with some distress, but was unable to give her any substantial help.

The two of them continued to chat, drink wine, and laugh as they reminisced about the past. However, behind the laughter, Huaihua still felt heavy. She knew that perhaps in this world, some things were destined to be irreversible, and she could only accept this fact and move forward.

Zhao Lei's call broke the atmosphere of their chat. After Zhao Lei heard Li Tong mention Zhao Aimin's situation, he immediately said that someone had introduced the target to Zhao Aimin and hoped that he could go there.

"The target?" Li Tong frowned, "Zhao Aimin may not agree."

Huaihua also felt that something was wrong. She knew that Zhao Aimin was not interested in such an arrangement.

"I think I can talk to him." Huaihua suddenly said, she felt that she should stand up for Zhao Aimin.

Li Tong and Zhao Lei were both a little surprised. They didn't expect Huaihua to take the initiative to express such a wish. But they all know Huaihua's feelings for Zhao Aimin and understand her actions.

"Then I'll trouble you." Zhao Lei said gratefully.

After bidding farewell to Li Tong, Huaihua and Li Tong immediately drove to Zhao Aimin's home. Zhao Aimin was a little surprised when he heard that someone was visiting, but he still warmly invited Huaihua to come in and sit down.

"I heard that someone introduced you to someone?" Huaihua asked bluntly.

Zhao Aimin smiled bitterly, "Yes, but I'm not interested."

Sophora japonica sighed softly, she knew what Zhao Aimin was thinking. The relationship between them may not be able to continue, but she still hopes to be considerate of him.

"I can help you solve this problem." Huaihua said, "I will find a suitable reason to make that girl give up her pursuit of you."

Zhao Aimin was a little moved after hearing this. He did not expect Huaihua to do such a thing for him. "Thank you, Sophora japonica."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the barriers in their hearts seemed to be eliminated at this moment. They may no longer be lovers, but they still have deep emotions and tacit understanding.

Zhao Aimin and Li Tong were sitting in the living room, drinking tea and chatting. Li Tong suddenly asked about Zhao Aimin's relationship status. Zhao Aimin was silent for a while, and then said: "I actually still have Sophora japonica in my heart."

Li Tong was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Zhao Aimin to express his feelings so frankly.

"Is there still contact between you two?" Li Tong asked curiously.

Zhao Aimin smiled bitterly, "There is no contact, but we have been close to each other for a long time."

Li Tong looked at Zhao Aimin with a sigh in his heart. He knew that Zhao Aimin's feelings for Sophora japonica were not a temporary impulse, but deeply rooted in his heart.

"Maybe you should give each other another chance." Li Tong said tentatively.

Zhao Aimin thought for a while, then nodded, "Maybe."

He knew that no matter what, Sophora japonica would always hold a special place in his heart.

Li Tong's words made Zhao Aimin fall into deep thought. The Sophora japonica emotion in his heart surged into his heart, and he couldn't help but be filled with emotion. However, at this moment, Zhang Qi called.

"Brother, where are you now?" Zhang Qi's voice was full of anxiety and anger.
