Chapter 285 "Escape from What?"
In the kitchen, there were no other ingredients except bowls and chopsticks, and instant noodle boxes in the trash can.
Is this what she is?
Tong Xin understood instantly that she had a gastritis attack because she was hungry because there was nothing to eat at home, but why didn’t she tell him every time he came?
Maybe he really underestimated her self-esteem, and her stubbornness was not just a show of strength.
Tongxin went back to his grandmother's house to get some rice, which he bought from a store more than ten miles away. In addition to rice, he also took some other ingredients.

About half a day later, Xia Qian fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine. When she woke up, she smelled a very fragrant scent.
It was Tongxin who did it, what about others?
There was no sign of him in the room. Almost when she had finished eating, Tong Xin came in from outside carrying two bags filled with some food.
"You went to town?"
Xia Qian knew that only there were things to sell, but how did he manage to go back and forth such a long distance, along a mountain road?
"Ah."
He was still as cold as before, but he was not a bad person, and rather... a little bit good.
For the first time, Xia Qian felt his kindness, the kind of kindness that was pure and kind.
"How much, I'll transfer it to you."
She would not take advantage of his kindness, because all the good things were not taken for granted.
Tong Xin ignored her and went straight to the kitchen.
"Add me on WeChat and I'll transfer it to you."
She was serious, but he didn't care:
"no need."
"How can that be? You've helped me a lot, I can't let you spend money."
This thing doesn't cost much, he can afford it:
"Next time."
"No, just this time."
She is really strong. The weak her just now no longer exists:
"Are you making up excuses on purpose because you want to keep my contact information?"
It's fine when he doesn't talk, but when he does, he becomes annoying:
"Can you please stop being so narcissistic? I just don't want to spend a man's money."
He was joking, but she was serious:
"Then I've never asked a woman to pay me back."
he……?
"Do you know you're annoying?"
The two of them are really weird. They either don't talk to each other, or they quarrel when they do.
“I learned this for the first time today.”
Does she think she is likable?
If it weren't for his overflowing compassion, who would care about her?
Xia Qian looked at him helplessly:
"If you don't want it, forget it. Don't blame me for not giving it to you."
She didn't speak in a pleasant way and was not as gentle as a normal woman.
Tong Xin doesn’t like it, really doesn’t like it.
But out of humanitarianism, he had to take care of her, or maybe it was out of sympathy, that was indeed the case at that time.
There are many books on her bookshelf, and some jewelry design drawings on the table, all hand-painted and look very beautiful.
Tong Xin has never seen such a manuscript before. This is the first time I have seen it, and I am a little curious:
"Did you draw this?"
In her room, could it be that she stole it?
"Ah."
Tong Xin picked up the design drawings, each one of them was very creative.
Unlike the cookie-cutter designs on the market, each one seems to be niche and creative.
“Are you a jewelry designer?”
It must be admitted that the jewelry she designs is indeed very stylish and always unexpected like her.
He always seemed to have doubts in his mouth:
"Isn't it similar?"
Tong Xin shook his head:
"Not quite like it."
What kind of person is he, and why can he always easily offend her?
"So what do you think a jeweler should be like?"
Xia Qian didn't want to argue with him because he really didn't know how to be humble.
Tong Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at her, then looked at the design drawing in her hand:
"I think it should be some traces of age and life experience."
"So you think I have no experience?"
Is he looking down on people?
"No, you show no signs of aging."
"you……"
Xia Qian was really speechless, but he did it on purpose.
He is a really petty person. He just couldn't win the argument so he wanted to retaliate.
Tong Xin smiled smugly:
"Just kidding, your design is very good, the most creative work I have ever seen."
Really?
It was the first time Xia Qian saw him speak a human word. He didn't show disdain or belittle her, but instead praised her design.
“You know jewelry?”
His evaluation is very one-sided. It would be better if it were more professional.
Does he know jewelry?
Of course he doesn’t understand. He is a rough guy, how could he understand jewelry?
But he will watch it and appreciate it from the perspective of a consumer.
“I like this one very much.”
A design with geometric elements, simple but smooth, with a matching necklace and bracelet, grand and elegant.
Xia Qian thought he really understood design, but she didn't expect him to be a complete layman.
"That's my least favorite."
She doesn't like it?
She doesn't like the design she made herself?
"Then why did you design it?"
Maybe he really doesn't understand. Designers have their own style, but this one clearly doesn't have one.
Xia Qian's face suddenly turned gloomy:
“Because everyone likes it.”
Do you like it?
Tong Xin didn't understand what she meant, and the veiled meaning in her words made him even more curious.
"To cater to the masses?"
"Yes, for the market, to produce hits, and to make money."
She has produced many popular products for the company, but none of them were created by her.
But she wanted to live, she wanted to serve the company and the market. But even with such efforts, she was still betrayed by the company. It was very sad because she was just a pawn.
She has a story, and people like her must have a story.
“Is making money so important?”
Tong Xin once wanted desperately to make money, and he did it, but he was not as happy as he had imagined.
In fact, standing at the top of the pyramid does not necessarily mean happiness. At that time, he was really lonely, confused and uneasy. Even if there were many people standing around him, he could not feel happy.
Xia Qian was short of money, and just like the child she was at that time, she wanted to achieve financial freedom on her own, but the harder she tried, the less she achieved.
"Important, but also unimportant."
He may not understand what happened to her, nor can he empathize with her.
Xia Qian asked him calmly:
"Why are you here?"
He is not from here, and judging from his accent, he is not from here either, so when he is curious about her, isn't she the same?
"To escape."
escape?
These two words are full of sadness.
People often like to escape because it is the only way they don't have to pay a price.
Xia Qian also wanted to escape, so she did the same as him:
"Escape from what?"
“Escape from reality, escape from the past, escape from yourself.”
What he said about escape was consistent with hers.
This is how she avoids problems she cannot handle:
"Did you escape?"
She was asking him, and also asking herself.
"You can escape."
Tong Xin lowered his head. Can he really escape?
Xia Qian didn't know what happened to him, but at that time she just wanted to talk to him.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been suppressing it for too long, or maybe it’s because the two of them don’t understand each other.
In fact, it is easier for us to open up to strangers, and it is better to heal ourselves in unfamiliar places.
