The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 217 Which woman is more important?
"It was me who was not prepared for Meng Yun's career to get better and better."

“I am becoming less and less confident.”

"I need him to be with me to prove that he loves me."

"I need him to spend time on me to prove that he loves me."

"That kind of support without fear of injury, I can't do it anymore."

"I did it myself!"

"..."

At ten o'clock in the evening, as the night deepens, Chengdu's nightlife becomes more and more lively. Unfortunately, in the eyes of some people, the liveliness is theirs and the sadness is their own.

Jinxingyuan, Fangcao Street.

Lin Jia, who was about to move out of here, couldn't help but confess his inner sadness after drinking a few glasses of wine with Dingdian who had been with him these days.

We had a hard time last year as well, but when we were having a hard time, Meng Yun's act of sending medicine and a dog proved that everything could be turned around.

A quarrel, a cold war, or a verbal breakup does not necessarily mean that there will be no more chances.

But now, Meng Yun is married and will even have a child in a few months.

Everything is irreversible!
Dingdian, who was sitting next to Lin Jia, handing her tissues and helping "Nini" comb her hair, was also overwhelmed.

When she came to accompany her best friend a few days ago, she said that nothing was wrong with her. It was just a breakup with Meng Yun. Even though they had broken up last year, this time it was just more thorough.

Ding Dian really believed it at first, but the bastard Yu Fei said that Lin Jia was a pretender, and after the last breakup, she might be even more pretending this time.

She thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. She recalled the scene when she saw Lin Jia and Xia Lu looking at each other in her store that day. There was clearly a sad atmosphere in the air.

Lin Jia hadn't shown any major reaction these past few days, and she thought the other party was really fine. Unexpectedly, just now after helping her best friend clean up things and having dinner, the other party suddenly exploded.

Looking at Lin Jia, who was holding a bottle of wine, crying and blaming herself in front of him, Dingdian could only sigh and listen silently.

Maybe after this hard time, my best friend will be able to let it go.

But what was a bit regrettable was that Yu Fei did not allow her to tell Meng Yun about these things, saying that it would be better for Lao Meng and Lin Jia to just let it go. Lao Meng had already married Xia Lu, so he did not need to hurt Lin Jia anymore.

Having said that, it’s still a little regrettable.

Seeing that her best friend had almost finished drinking, she said softly, "Lin Jia, stop drinking and take a rest."

Yu Fei is coming to pick her up, and she has to let that dog man comfort her tonight.

"Ah."

This time, Lin Jia really didn't have many tears to shed, so she nodded and returned to the bedroom with Dingdian's help.

"Dingdian, I don't love Meng Yun anymore."

Lin Jia, lying on the bed, suddenly uttered something like a dream.

After listening to it, Dingdian felt sad for her best friend, but also felt relieved.

I don't like it. I don't like it.

Dingdian sighed again and returned to the living room to help Lin Jia clean up the mess on the table. He also poured water for "Nini", as she had already been fed dog food before.

After everything was packed up, Dingdian was ready to leave. Before leaving, he saw two cardboard boxes that he had never seen before placed in the entrance hall. The boxes were sealed with tape.

I guess these are the things Lin Jia put away when she was cleaning up today.

Dingdian shook his head and left without paying much attention.

Downstairs, Yu Fei, who had been waiting for a while, saw Ding Dian coming out, then he smiled and opened his arms to greet him.

Dingdian, who had a sad face just now, has now regained his liveliness. He walked in front of Yu Fei and hung on him like a koala.

"Hey, Tiny, how come you've become lighter after not seeing you for a few days?"

Yu Fei smiled and carried Dingdian to the garage. Dingdian was happy that he had become lighter, then sighed and said:
"Lin Jia has had a poor appetite these days, and I don't have much appetite either. How can I not feel better?"

Sadness is a very difficult thing to hide. Although Lin Jia didn't show any major symptoms before, her decreased appetite was very obvious. After all, the stomach is an emotional organ.

Yu Fei felt a little distressed when he heard this, especially when he felt that the granary attached to him seemed to have shrunk a little, so he comforted her, "Let's go, let's have a good meal first."

"Ah."

Back in the car, Yu Fei, who had never asked about Lin Jia's situation, finally spoke.

"Lin Jia, how is she now?"

Dingdian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, sighed again and said, "I finally cried today. I think nothing will happen after I cry this time."

Yu Fei nodded thoughtfully, and then agreed: "Yes, let time solve it in the future. I just don't know how long it will take Lin Jia to let it go completely."

"It's hard to say that I've completely let go. Lin Jia just said that she doesn't love Meng Yun anymore."

At this moment, Yu Fei, who had just started the car, brightened up after hearing this.

I don't like it, I don't like it!
"Then you have to take care of her more these days."

……

The next afternoon, near the end of get off work.

Yu Fei, who was still at work, suddenly received a message from Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming: I can’t find Luo Xi.

Zhao Ming: I will tell Meng Yun.

Looking at the two messages on the phone, Yu Fei smiled but did not reply.

These two short lines revealed Zhao Ming's unwillingness to admit defeat in this matter, from yesterday, no, from the day before yesterday when Luo Qian disappeared, to his admission of defeat at this moment.

It’s not about admitting defeat to Yu Fei, but to Meng Yun.

However, a small loss in the midfield does not necessarily affect the overall outcome. What's more, this inexplicable competition was not equal in the first place. Even though Zhao Ming knew that the chances of winning were very low, he still insisted on the unilateral challenge. It would be more accurate to say that he lost to Luo Qian rather than to Meng Yun.

Even though Meng Yun and Luo Xi didn't realize there was any competition.

Yu Fei didn't need to say anything to comfort Zhao Ming at this time, as he didn't need it.

……

In the office next door, Meng Yun was using the office phone to contact a partner. At the end, the other party even congratulated him on his wedding.

Just when Boss Meng was beaming with joy, a strange call came in on his cell phone.

After talking with the partner and hanging up the phone, Meng Yun picked up the phone and answered it in confusion.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Hello Meng Yun, I'm Zhao Ming."

Only one sentence came from the phone, and Boss Meng, who was so happy just now, suddenly changed his expression.

Subconsciously, it reminded him of the things he had been afraid to face during this period of time.

Just when his face froze and he didn't know what to say, Zhao Ming said something that made him look even uglier.

"I...can't find Luo Xi, Meng Yun. I know only you can find her."

For a man, there is nothing more painful than not being able to find his fiancée himself, and having to ask another man to find her.

What's more, this other man is the beloved of his fiancée. Although Luo Xi is not Zhao Ming's fiancée at present, he thinks so in his heart. Moreover, at least now he and Luo Xi are still in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

After this brief exchange, Zhao Ming, who was sitting in the back seat of the Maybach, hung up the phone.

Thinking of the bet that Yu Fei made with him yesterday, his brows, which were usually furrowed, now furrowed even deeper.

'Did I lose?'

……

When getting off work, Yu Fei looked at Meng Yun's hurriedly leaving figure and couldn't help but shouted:
"Lao Meng!"

"Ah? What's wrong?"

Seeing Meng Yun's anxious look, Yu Fei smiled and said, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you? You just got married and you're rushing home from get off work. Can our Yulin duo go back?"

Meng Yun subconsciously opened his mouth to tell everyone that Luo Qian was missing, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it.

He had long realized that Luo Xi's absence from the company was related to his marriage. When he was talking to Zhao Ming just now, he also heard something from the other party's tone, that is, Luo Xi was actively playing missing.

Seeing that Yu Fei was still looking at him, Meng Yun calmed himself down and said with a smile, "Don't talk about me. Didn't you not go out much after you got a girlfriend?"

"Hey! It's vegetarian!"

Yu Fei corrected him with a smile.

Seeing that he did not take the initiative to mention Luo Xi's disappearance, Yu Fei asked in a fake tone:
"By the way, Master Qian hasn't come to the company for several days, and didn't even say a word. Look..."

The two of them had briefly talked about this matter before, and they both knew the reasons, so they mostly just touched on it briefly. This time was no different, and Yu Fei only mentioned it briefly.

After a brief silence, Meng Yun nodded and said, "I know. I will go see her."

So Yu Fei didn't say anything more. When his good brother was about to turn around and leave, he smiled and said:
"Meng, there is a question I have always wanted to ask you."

"Huh? What?"

"Before you met Xia Lu, who was more important to you, Lin Jia or Luo Qian?"

"..."

Meng Yun turned and left, as if he had not made up his mind yet.

……

"Honey, why are you back? I learned a new dish today. I'll let you try it later!"

Standing downstairs of Luo Xi's house, Meng Yun suddenly received a call from Xia Lu.

Listening to Xia Lu's laughter on the phone, Meng Yun seemed to be infected all of a sudden. He slightly recovered from the increasingly depressed mood on the way here, and replied with a smile: "Okay, then I must try it. But if you are hungry, you can eat first. After all, you still have a baby in your belly. I may be a little later."

"Okay, then don't be too late. By the way, whenever you mention the baby, I always feel like the baby is kicking me."

"No way, it's only been a short time, your arms and legs haven't grown out yet, right?"

"Haha, I was just teasing you. Remember to come back early!"

After hanging up the phone, Meng Yun looked up at the building in front of him again, and the smile on his face gradually began to fade.

The happy mood that Xia Lu had just brought me began to become heavy again.

A few minutes later, Meng Yun stood at the door of 2204. He pressed the doorbell a few times out of habit, but when there was no response, he entered the password and went in.

He has always known the password to Rosie's door, so he is very familiar with coming here.

It was still light in the evening, and the rays of setting sun were blocked by the curtains. Only a little light was left through the curtains, reflecting the mess in Rosie's room in Meng Yun's eyes.

Wine bottles, wine glasses, wine stains, magazines, toilet paper, photo frames, pens, cosmetics... were scattered all over the living room.

Meng Yun had never seen Luo Xi's house so messy. In his memory, Luo Xi had always been a person who kept her house in tidy order.

She pays attention to hygiene, likes to tidy up, and even has a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. When I do group assignments with her at school, if I am even the slightest bit perfunctory in my part, she will ruthlessly reject it.

Sometimes, after revising too many manuscripts, I would even secretly think that it was a good thing that I didn't pursue her, otherwise how could I have been subjected to her strict personality. But correspondingly, the group assignments I did with her always got the highest scores in the class.

Meng Yun silently thought again, in fact, except for being strict with Luo Xi when doing group assignments, she usually cares about him very much. When he is practicing dancing or playing ball, as long as he turns his head, he can see her cheering for him beside him.

In this slightly dim room, Meng Yun paced slowly, approaching a chair and a sofa, and slowly sat down. In a trance, he seemed to be able to see what Rosie had done before that led to the current mess.

Looking at the wine bottle that fell on the carpet beside the coffee table next to the sofa, Meng Yun seemed to see Luo Xi sitting on the carpet drinking and crying, while raising her hand to knock the things on the coffee table down. Then, he heard her shouting his name heartbreakingly.

Like the cuckoo's cry, every cry is like blood.

Meng Yun's already heavy heart fell even deeper. Perhaps he had thought that Luo Xi had not been to the company these days because she did not want to see him, but he did not expect that his marriage would be such a blow to her.

Does Luo Xi love him? This question only flashed through Meng Yun's mind, and he got a positive answer, but the other party never said it out loud, just like he never said he loved Luo Xi. The love between the two was buried in their hearts, and no one knew how deep it was.

Meng Yun only knew that when Luo Xi said that Lao Zhao proposed to her, his heart suddenly felt empty.

It turns out that I didn’t know I would feel heartache.

After getting up and leaving the living room, Meng Yun walked through the equally messy corridor and entered Luo Xi's study.

Seeing the picture frames and photos scattered on the ground, I immediately thought of how devastated the other party was when he removed the photos from the wall.

Looking at the familiar graduation photo on the ground, Meng Yun suddenly remembered that when he took the graduation photo, his bachelor's gown was worn crookedly and it was Luo Xi who helped him straighten it out.

There was also the photo, which had already fallen out of the frame, of him and Rosie by the school lake.

He hugged her, like a buddy, and smiled at the camera like a couple.

Gently stroking the photo in his hand, Meng Yun turned it over. On the back, there was "Happy Birthday" written all over it.

Meng Yun counted them silently one by one, no more, no less, thirteen.

……

"Hiss! Uncle, did you secretly add mustard to my seasoning bowl just now? My mouth is still burning."

At night, when Yu Fei was driving to pick up Xiao Ai from school, Xiao Ai was "hissing" and swigging mineral water to cool her mouth.

Yu Fei went to pick up Xiao Ai early today, but the two did not rush back. Instead, they took a walk in the school like other couples, and then went to the snack street to stroll and eat. They also had dinner at a time-honored hot pot restaurant there.

Because of its very good reputation among students, this hot pot restaurant is very popular after dark. The two of them waited for a long time with a number before they could eat.

Xiao Ai was making “slurping” noises while eating just now, and I didn’t expect that she was still “slurping” now.

Yu Fei laughed as he drove the car: "Don't slander me. When have I ever done anything that hurt the enemy by 8,000 but hurt myself by 10,000?"

"Hmm?" Xiao Ai took another sip of water and looked confused, not understanding what this meant.

"Isn't it that if you hurt the enemy for every ten thousand, you will lose eight thousand?"

After hearing Xiao Ai's words, Yu Fei smiled and didn't explain.

Xiao Ai didn't ask too many questions, after all, the dog man usually said weird things.

The car was driving steadily on the road. Yu Fei suddenly noticed that something was wrong with his girlfriend's face, so he smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is your mouth still spicy?"

"No."

Xiao Ai, who had calmed down, shook her head, and then looked at her boyfriend who opened his mouth to speak and then closed his microphone. Yu Fei was surprised and said:

"What's wrong? Is this a new way of cooling your body or do you have something to say?"

"Uncle, I just saw Luo Xi... at school."

Xiao Ai ignored her boyfriend's teasing and hesitated for a moment before telling him about it.

This really surprised Yu Fei. He didn't expect that it would be such a coincidence. Luo Xi disappeared and was reminiscing about the past at school, but Xiao Ai actually saw her.

"And then? Why didn't you say anything just now?"

When Xiao Ai heard her boyfriend ask her, she didn't hesitate this time and said directly: "I met her, she said she just came here to take a look, and when she heard me say uncle, come pick me up, she asked me not to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Yu Fei immediately frowned and said, "She asked you to keep it a secret from me, so you kept it a secret from me! Am I more important or is Luo Xi more important?"

"..."

Xiao Ai, who was a little embarrassed at first, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and immediately said, "Of course, uncle, you are more important!"

"Then you won't tell?"

"Because although Rosie didn't say much at the time, I felt that she was very sad. She asked me so much, I couldn't refuse."

"Then why are you saying it now?"

"Because I think sad Rosie is not as important as the uncle."

Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Yu Fei couldn't help but reach out and tickle her: "Xiao Ai, who did you learn this from? Why did your mouth suddenly become so sweet?"

The dog man couldn't help but reach his hand towards the granary while scratching, so Xiao Ai, who was still giggling, immediately hit him down and said unhappily: "Of course I learned it from you."

"Really?" Yu Fei blinked, then smiled and said, "Then what does 'how to coax your boyfriend into being a child' mean in the search bar on your phone?"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ai's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then she said in shame and anger:
"Uncle, you peeked at my phone!"

"I didn't peek." Yu Fei smiled and nodded to the person beside him, "Don't you know about the reflection from the car window?"

"..."

Xiao Ai was stunned for a moment, and after looking at the car window next to her, her face turned even redder.

Seeing her boyfriend still laughing, she took a few deep breaths and changed the subject: "Hey, uncle, you are not allowed to laugh. Sister Qian is so sad, don't you want to comfort her?"

Yu Fei stopped laughing and pouted, "How can I comfort her? You know why she is sad, it's not my turn to comfort her."

"Ugh!"

Xiao Ai sighed and understood the reason.

But at this time Yu Fei spoke again: "But since my girlfriend has said so, I can also comfort her reluctantly, right?"

"Comfort?" Xiao Ai looked puzzled. "How are you going to comfort me?"

Yu Fei handed her the phone: "Let me tell you, you type it for her."

Xiao Ai took the phone blankly, still puzzled: "Didn't they say her phone was turned off? What's the point of sending it to her now?"

"I won't send it unless her phone is turned off!"

Yu Fei smiled and continued, "If she had her phone on, would she still need my comfort?"

"Uh, that's right."

Xiao Ai nodded and picked up Yu Fei's phone to send a message to Luo Xi: "How are you going to comfort her?"

Yu Fei lowered the window beside him and looked at the vehicles traveling under the cover of night. In this era when electric cars had not yet become popular, the roar of fuel vehicle engines could be heard from time to time, especially when passing through sections of road without speed cameras. Some people could not help but step on the accelerator, letting the tens of thousands of parts of the vehicle play a beautiful symphony like a harmonious symphony orchestra under the direction of the internal combustion engine.

Yu Fei smiled and said softly: "Please tell Luo Xi that if she wants to steal the wedding, I can help her smash the axle of Lao Meng's wedding car."

"what?"

Xiao Ai was about to press the keyboard when she suddenly stopped. What kind of comfort was this, uncle?
Yu Fei smiled and said, "Just send it to her like this."

Although he had said this to Lao Meng before, who could blame him for not appreciating it?
He was not kidding. He had always felt that it was a waste to use his physical fitness only in bed.

I can only wait until I have the opportunity to travel to a more exciting world in the future to fully demonstrate it.

'Alas, Wudi is always as lonely as the snow!'

After Xiao Ai sent the message with a strange look on her face, she couldn't help but ask her boyfriend, "Uncle, are you serious or joking about your consolation?"

"you guess."

Seeing the other person's smiling face, Xiao Ai asked tentatively: "Will you really help Luo Xi get married?"

"you guess."

"..."

Xiao Ai frowned immediately and was about to say that she didn't want to guess when Yu Fei's cell phone rang.

She picked it up and saw that it was Dingdian calling.

"Didn't this bad woman get enough of her crazy behavior last night? She's addicted, right?"

"Who's calling? Why aren't you answering it?"

Yu Fei asked without looking away while driving.

Xiao Ai said with a sour look: "Bad woman, I don't want to pay attention to her!"

Although she said so, Xiao Ai still answered the phone. After all, she had some comradeship with the other party.

However, before she could speak, a hurried voice sounded in the car:

"Yu Fei, something bad has happened. Lin Jia is allergic to mangoes!"

……

Under the cover of night, Meng Yun's Audi was also speeding on the street, but his goal was exactly the opposite of Yu Fei's.

If he guessed correctly, Luo Xi should have gone to Sichuan University, their alma mater where they both had many memories.

At this moment, he was talking on the phone with Xia Lu in the car.

"Honey, when are you coming back? I have prepared all the food and will cook it when you come back!"

Hearing this, Meng Yun felt guilty.

"Honey, I'm sorry, something happened. Why don't you do it first? I might be back by the time you've finished cooking."

"Ah?" Xia Lu was a little disappointed on the phone, but soon her voice came back, "Okay, then I'll cook first, don't be too late."

After a pause, she reminded him, "Don't be in such a hurry to come back. Don't drive too fast. Be careful. At most, I can just heat up the food."

"Yeah, thank you for your concern, wife. You should eat something first. Don't be hungry."

"Okay, bye, husband."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Yun sighed again. He hoped that it wouldn't take too long when he saw Luo Qian later.

He is Xia Lu's husband now.

Just then, the cell phone rang. Seeing it was Yu Fei, he answered it directly.

"Meng, are you driving now?"

"Correct."

"Listen to me, stop the car on the side of the road first and then listen to what I have to say."

Yu Fei's voice made Meng Yun wonder, "What's going on? Do you have to stop the car before I can tell you? I have something urgent to do."

Yu Fei's serious voice continued: "I have something urgent to do, and I'm afraid you won't be able to control yourself and get into a car accident if you hear this."

"..."

Meng Yun was speechless for a second before he said, "Please don't curse me."

"Do you think I'm kidding?"

Hearing the other party's tone, Meng Yun frowned and slowly slowed down and stopped the car on the side of the road.

"Go ahead, I'm parking the car."

"Meng, can you please tell me what you were in such a hurry to do just now?"

"Go find Luo Xi, she's missing." This time, Meng Yun didn't hide it anymore. Yu Fei knew too much, and there was no point in hiding it. He was also worried that the urgent matter the other party was talking about might be related to Luo Xi.

So he quickly asked, "What's the urgent matter over there?"

Yu Fei had anticipated Meng Yun's actions at this moment, but it was really a coincidence that they just happened to happen at the same time.

This drama happened faster and more intensely than he had imagined.

Although he wanted to laugh, he still maintained his professionalism at this moment. He said in a serious tone: "Lin Jia is allergic to mangoes and is now in the hospital."

The problems from the afternoon once again came to Meng Yun's mind, and there was one more contestant.

Who is more important, the hospitalized Lin Jia, the missing Luo Xi, or the homebound Xia Lu?
