Qiao Lu was one of the first children to live in the family home of No. 2 Middle School, and almost all the children had to call her "sister". Those who are closer will call her "sister", and those who are more distant will call "Sister Qiao Lu", only Xu Wei has been calling her "Sister Lu" for ten years.

He is persistent enough with this title, so even if it is a text message from an unfamiliar number, Qiao Lu knows who sent it.

After receiving his message, Qiao Lu, who was listing the results of scientific research, suddenly had a chaotic memory. And the bits and pieces with Xu Wei in the United States have gradually become clear.

But no matter how good the memories are, they are also in the past. In less than a month, he is going to marry someone else as a bride, what does it mean to send a text message at this time?

Qiao Lu tossed her phone aside and rubbed her temples. Just had some ideas, and the phone rang again.

"Sister Lu, I want to meet you, I have something to say to you. ”

Qiao Lu, who has experienced a long emotional blank period, can she still stop when she receives such a text message?

She was so upset that she sent a third message again: "Sister Lu, I met you on the street that time, I just wanted to tell you, give me another chance." ”

shouldn't have promised him, but Qiao Lu couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart after all, so he sent him a word: "Okay." ”

The next day, Qiao Lu finished guiding several senior students with their papers, and when she saw the text message from Xu Wei, it was already an hour late. She apologized and trotted all the way to the café she had made an appointment. But Xu Wei didn't care at all, and said that he came early, which added to her burden.

The intimate care for her is still the same as before.

Although it has been a long time since they have chatted face-to-face like this, the love from childhood to adulthood is still there, and they do not feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. Xu Wei joined the work earlier than Qiao Lu, and was obviously more talkative, so he naturally asked, "I heard that Qiao Nan has returned to the army a long time ago, and now everything is fine, right?"

He said that everything was fine, but he had some sequelae and had to be rechecked every once in a while. ”

"Is it an eye?"

"The eye shouldn't be cured. There are other problems that he doesn't care about, so we have to pay attention to them for him. ”

Xu Wei rubbed his hands together and squeezed out a smile: "Every time I think of Qiao Nan, I feel that I don't have the face to see your family, and so do my parents." ”

Qiao's family was a little numb to such remarks, but Qiao Lu still replied politely: "Every time Mr. Xu goes to my house, he apologizes to my parents...... But it's really not necessary, our family is very sensible, and I don't blame your family. But for your aunt's family, I will never forgive. They almost killed Qiao Nan, but until now, Qiao Nan didn't wait for an apology. ”

Xu Wei bowed his head and said nothing, without further defense. He wanted to say that his cousin had been punished and was still in a wheelchair, so was this a matter of evenness?, but seeing Qiao Lu's expression, he closed his mouth again.

Qiao Lu took a sip of coffee and asked about his work. Xu Wei spread his hands and said in the most common tone of an adult: "That's it!"

That's it.

Every adult will always be a little tired when he talks about this. And those tiredness will only be revealed after a few years of entering the workplace. Back then, he said that he wanted to be the best cross-border e-commerce platform in China, and he was so high-spirited and ambitious at that time. But he had long ago made a compromise and embarked on the safest path. For a person like him, stability is also another kind of exhaustion.

Qiao Lu asked, "Do you still want to do business now?"

"Where do you have the energy to think about that? It's not easy to live alone. ”

The deeper the conversation, the more obvious his exhaustion became.

Work is tiring, and so are feelings.

Although his current fiancée was introduced by his family, they have also been in a relationship very seriously. Compared with Qiao Lu, his fiancée, the little girl, is more breathy, good at coquettishness, will pester him to let him buy things, and cares about him very much. Except for spending money lavishly and occasionally having a bit of a big lady's temper, I can't find anything wrong with it.

However, the two families who want to marry are very good, and in such an environment, spending too much money will not be a disadvantage; Xu Wei has a good temper, he is not angry with anyone, and he can tolerate her bad temper, so it is nothing for her to be arrogant.

When grandma introduced him to this object, she also pulled Qiaolu out to make a comparison: "Fei Fei (Xu Wei's fiancée) is very good-looking, and her smile is very sweet, where is she like Qiao Lu, with a bitter face all day long?

Xu Wei also argued with his grandmother, saying that Qiao Lu also looks good when she laughs. But grandma was still extremely dissatisfied with her: "Qiao Lu is too strong, and she will have to pull her younger brothers and sisters in the future, which is a burden for a lifetime." ”

Xu Wei told his grandmother that the children of the Qiao family are very strong, how can Qiao Lu be able to help him all the time? But grandma will always have a bunch of reasons to refute him, and the most important thing is that Qiao Lu will ruin the entire Qiao family.

Xu Wei was really powerless to argue with this, and finally accepted his grandmother's suggestion and talked to the girl. In the process of falling in love, the two are also sweet and sweet, and they are harmonious in all aspects, but Xu Wei always feels that something is missing in life.

Now that I'm getting married, I can see the end of the days to come. It's bland, but it's also tasteless.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Wei felt creepy.

In the half year that I was going to get married, I was running around for the house, car, and wedding every day, and it stands to reason that I should be very tired, but Xu Wei often has insomnia.

Sometimes when he falls asleep, it seems that he hears someone shouting in his ear, hey, Weiwei!

Qiao Lu, who is as strong as a female warrior in front of outsiders, is actually coquettish. She would lose her temper because Xu Wei was late for a date, she would be anxious because he didn't go, she would pick up his ears to teach him, and she would call him at midnight in silence and sweetly call him by his nickname - Weiwei, you have to be good!

He has been stubborn since he was a child, and he has caused countless troubles, so that his parents almost never call him by his nickname, and even his mother calls him by his name violently, and a "Xu Wei" is enough to shake the Xu family, making him panic and uneasy, and he doesn't know what he has done wrong.

Just like "Sister Lu" is his exclusive name for Qiao Lu, "Weiwei" can only be shouted by Qiao Lu.

She also said that Whiskers is the name of a lion cub and he is also as cute as a lion cub.

So, where is Qiao Lu indifferent? Where is she unkind? During the period of interacting with him, she was also enthusiastic, delicate and lovely, and she was also diligent and thrifty, supporting him to do what he wanted to do.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei rubbed his face again and again to make himself sober, he was the one who was going to get married after all. But when I rubbed it, I couldn't rub it anymore, and I was left with tears on my face.

Feelings can really become a poisonous weed, once it takes root in the heart, it will spread wantonly and cannot be pulled out.

Sitting opposite was Sister Lu, who he had been thinking about for a long time, but the thousands of words that had accumulated in his heart finally converged into one sentence - Sister Lu, I can't forget you.

Another stone was thrown into Qiao Lu's heart, and the water rippled in circles. Xu Wei said such a thing, she was not surprised at all, because she also thought so in her heart. But the tribulations of life have long taught her not to be alarmed, so she just smiled softly: "Don't talk nonsense, you are going to marry someone else." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, we're over after that engagement feast...... It's been three years. Qiao Lu looked out the window at the gloomy sky, and said to herself: "Xu Wei, there are some scenes that I will remember for a lifetime." Since that incident, I haven't felt safe in you. ”

"Sister Lu, you should at least give me another chance......

"In the past three years, there have been a lot of opportunities, have you grasped them?" Qiao Lu became excited, and her chest rose and fell violently: "Qiao Nan is your best friend, but when he was plotted by your uncle, he was dragged by your family to the point of hanging by a thread...... Even if you stand up and stand on our side and say justice in front of adults, I will be grateful to you...... But how do you do it? Every time, you choose to run away. ”

Xu Wei blushed and said, "When my grandmother was alive, she was in very bad health, and I didn't dare to stimulate her ......"

"Now that your grandmother has died, you are free to fall in love?"

Xu Wei raised her head suddenly, stared at Qiao Lu's clear eyes, and suddenly felt that she had already seen through everything in the world.

"Xu Wei, we have missed too much, and we can't go back to the past. The corners of Qiao Lu's eyes were shining, and tears seemed to flicker: "You are going to get married, I will bless you." Live your life well, I'll just pretend that you didn't come to me today. ”

Qiao Lu got up and left, and after walking for a while, she saw Xu Wei sitting there with his head drooping. In fact, she was not in a hurry, she stood at the door, and she still had a trace of unrealistic illusions - if he had the courage to chase him out, then she would also pluck up the courage and try to have a relationship with him.

He's still very bold. When she confessed, when she rushed into the fire to save him...... Although his courage is not often there, it has also deeply touched her.

And yet he sat there all the time, not saying a word. He didn't seem to blame Qiao Lu's accusations, nor did he complain about his grandmother's messing around with mandarin duck scores, he was still silent and hesitating, exactly like the situation on the day of the engagement.

He's still like that, he's good-tempered to everyone, but he doesn't have the courage to offend anyone.

Qiao Lu couldn't help but laugh at herself—why should she have hope for something that she had figured out a long time ago?

She turned around and suddenly found Xu Na standing behind her, as if she had been standing for a long time. Xu Na was carrying a canvas bag, holding a black umbrella, she still had short hair, wore earrings, and was handsome like a boy.

I don't know what dissatisfaction she has, so her tone is not very good: "Sister Qiao Lu, did you see him just now?"

"He" of course refers to Xu Wei, Qiao Lu was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, and agreed indiscriminately.

"Speaking of which, he's my distant cousin. But this cousin is always depressing, and I'm really dissatisfied with him. Xu Na hated iron very much: "Sister Qiao Lu, why do you still want to see him?"

In front of Xu Na, who was much younger than herself, Qiao Lu snorted unnaturally: "Ah?!...... He sent a message last night to meet me......"

"Isn't he about to get married? When he gets married, he still comes to see his ex-girlfriend? Did he say anything to you, or something that he never forgets about you?"

Qiao Lu was even more empty-hearted, dodging Xu Na's gaze. Xu Na said very dissatisfied: "He is so brainless, if he can't get it right, he will hurt two women at once." Sister Qiao Lu, if you want to be talented and good-looking, why do you want to be obsessed with such a man?"

Qiao Lu was a little embarrassed and said, "Xu Na, it's not as ...... as you think."

"Sister Qiao Lu, he is a person who is wavering and has no courage. If you really reconcile with him, don't regret it in the future!" Xu Na said indignantly: "Before getting married, I remembered the goodness of my ex-girlfriend, and his fiancée is really pitiful!"
