"Aren't you going to bed early tonight?, do you still want to play games?" After Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen came home after eating, he always felt that he looked a little ......

How can you describe it? Absent-minded? Restless?

During the meal, he asked him to report his safety to his mother, and waited for half an hour before finishing the call.

Bai Xiaojiu can also understand that they have not been in touch for more than half a year, and they have experienced the earthquake, so they will talk for a long time.

But after he came back, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, his expression was light, and when he talked to him, he also replied with a match.

In the past, Qi Jingchen would hardly have such a situation.

Bai Xiaojiu felt that his mood was a little complicated, so he didn't ask more, and wanted to wait for him to calm down before asking.

But tomorrow he has to go to work, Bai Xiaojiu saw that he was still sitting in front of the computer, with his back to her, and felt a little strange.

"You go to sleep first. I'll look at the information for a moment. Qi Jingchen's voice was not high when he answered, but it sounded like it was a little indifferent.

Bai Xiaojiu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't show it, and took a deep breath, "I won't go to work tomorrow, I'm not sleepy now, I plan to watch it later." ”

Luckily, she had a holiday when she first went to work, and now she can rest for a few days.

Feeling that his tone sounded much softer, even if he turned his back to him, he continued with a smile on his face: "You have to get up early tomorrow to go to work, or go to bed early?"

"I'll go to sleep if I wait. There you go. ”

The meaning of these words is as if to say you go, leave me alone.

Maybe it's Bai Xiaojiu's overunderstanding, but as far as she understands Qi Jingchen, he is really wrong.

Bai Xiaojiu was originally sitting in front of the computer, but now he moved in front of him and looked at the computer.

The screen is not the information he usually needs at all, and there is a pop-up box on it, which is the kind of strange advertisement that often appears on weekdays.

Qi Jingchen would never look at these things, and he stared at the computer just now and didn't move, he kept looking at this?

Bai Xiaojiu's first reaction was that he was lying to her, but he was very sure that his hand had not moved, lying on his shoulder, and looking at the computer screen with him, "What is so good-looking?"

"I ......" Qi Jingchen was put on her shoulder, his body was a little tense, and as he spoke, he gradually relaxed, reached out to hug her, and turned his head to look at her, "I'm sorry." ”

These three words made Bai Xiaojiu feel a little panicked, "What are you sorry for?"

It's good to say these three words, and the apology on her face makes her mind take off at once.

Could it be that he had actually been married a long time ago?

Or what did he do to be sorry for her at work now?

The more Bai Xiaojiu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and before she could wait for his next words, she woke up first, was she thinking this because she didn't trust him enough?

"I don't know what to say. Qi Jingchen was still immersed in his own thoughts, and he didn't notice that Bai Xiaojiu's thoughts were galloping thousands of miles away.

"Then you can say it. Say it slowly, say it carefully. Bai Xiaojiu froze down, leaned back, left his embrace, sat some distance away from him, put his hands around his chest, and looked at him with some seriousness.

When she spoke, she was still biting the socket of her back teeth, and she gritted her teeth a little, feeling unpleasant when she looked at it.

Qi Jingchen can know that no matter how slow her reaction is, she is uncomfortable, and after being stunned, looking at her appearance, she inexplicably feels so cute, and wants to laugh.

But when I thought of Wu Fenjing's words, my heart became heavy again.

"I ......" Qi Jingchen swallowed his saliva, his heart was very empty, and he leaned in front of her little by little, "If I lied to you, would you be angry?"

As if the guess in his heart had been verified, Bai Xiaojiu instantly looked at him with wide eyes, his face was not good-looking, and soon softened his expression again, and his heart and liver trembling when he smiled at him, "No." ”

This smile was too fake, he swallowed his saliva again, stepped back, and felt a little drumming in his heart, not knowing where to start.

Bai Xiaojiu saw that he lowered his head and didn't say anything, took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and asked word by word: "Say it." Who is it?"

She knew that his face was particularly peachy, and when the two of them walked out, the rate of turning back was almost as high as 100%.

At the beginning of being together, she was a little vain and enjoyed it.

After all, Bai Xiaojiu is not a perfect person, she will have the shortcomings that people will have, no matter how desireless she is, everything doesn't matter.

There will still be a trace of vanity in his bones, Qi Jingchen's face is really likable, but it is not reassuring.

"What who?" Qi Jingchen was still immersed in how to organize the language and explain things to her one by one, and when he heard her words, he was a little confused.

"Well, you name it. Is there someone out there? Or do you want someone to have? I said a long time ago, the day you don't want me, to put it bluntly. I will never bother you, and I will leave without looking back. ”

Qi Jingchen was stunned when he heard this, knelt on the bed a few times, came to her face, stared at her eyes, a little angry, and a little funny, "What are you in your head?"

Bai Xiaojiu pouted aggrievedly, "Then you have been wrong since you eaten, is it because you actually have some first love girlfriend at home, what wife or something?"

She actually couldn't figure it out a little, even if she didn't have a good relationship with her mother, it was his own mother, and she didn't contact her for more than half a year, and the two of them finally got in touch.

After chatting for half an hour, I can't keep arguing with each other, and I will definitely get closer to each other.

Qi Jingchen is so abnormal, maybe it's because of something else.

"As I said, I've never been in a relationship before. Do you think I'm lying to me?" Qi Jingchen's funny heart sank, and he felt that his daughter-in-law was simply a force that could make her angry.

"But can your mother make you so abnormal? There must be something else!" Bai Xiaojiu turned his head away from him, looking a little angry.

Qi Jingchen was most afraid of making her angry, and when he saw her pout, he hurriedly put his hands around her shoulders, put them in his arms, and patted his back twice, "Okay, okay." I'm telling you, don't think about it. ”

The moment Bai Xiaojiu was hugged into his arms, he felt much more comfortable, and he didn't feel panicked, so he responded sullenly, "Hmm." ”

"Do you remember? I told you that my dad died when I was very young. Before he died, he was in a vegetative state for two years, and after he died, my family owed a lot of debt. ”

"Hmm. Bai Xiaojiu answered in his arms, thinking that he must be in a bad mood when he said this, he got out of his arms, held his face and kissed him, "You said, I know." ”

"I also said that my mother was busy paying off her debts from then on, and she didn't have time to pay attention to me, and she didn't remarry. Qi Jingchen was kissed by her, and the anger in his heart that was attracted by her nonsense was gone, and he also kissed her forehead.

"Hmm. I know. Bai Xiaojiu said this, picked up his face and looked him in the eye and whispered: "I said at that time, I guess your family is in some difficulty, but I don't care." I don't like someone because of family background or anything else, but only because of the person. ”

Qi Jingchen smiled and nodded at her slightly, "I remember, when you said this, you were very serious and cute, and you looked very well-behaved, which made people feel excited." ”

Bai Xiaojiu laughed and threw herself into his arms, "Hmph, as long as you're not someone outside." I can tolerate anything!"

"Yes, yes, it's enough to have you, and I dare to have someone else?"

"What do you mean? I'm tired of you, so you don't dare to find anyone else?"

Qi Jingchen had already learned how far a woman could go if she was unreasonable, and hurriedly shook her head again and again, "I mean, I only need you one." As long as you. ”

These words made Bai Xiaojiu throw himself into his arms with satisfaction, and rubbed his hand behind his back a few times, "Then what did you deceive me?" ”

Qi Jingchen, who was originally taken away from the topic by her cute gesture and almost forgot what he said, was stunned and coughed lightly, "What, I didn't finish it at that time." ”

Bai Xiaojiu didn't understand, got up from his arms, knelt on the bed, and tilted his head to look at him across from him, "What?"

Qi Jingchen looked down at the sheets, then at her white hands on her knees, reached out and grabbed one, then looked up at her and smiled at her, "About my family." ”

In fact, it wasn't a lie to her before, but I didn't have the opportunity to explain it one by one.

Qi Jingchen didn't like Wu Fenjing in the first place, and the main goal of coming to Rongchuan City was to find Bai Xiaojiu, and the secondary goal was to leave that suffocating home, to leave Wu Fenjing, who had a strong desire to control, and to anger her by the way.

But even if she left for more than half a year and didn't contact her, she was still her.

Thinking that Wu Fenjing was about to come to Rongchuan City, and Bai Xiaojiu still didn't know anything about it, Qi Jingchen felt unstable in his heart.

Bai Xiaojiu heard him mention family matters, and finally felt relieved, but he was worried again, seeing that he was really because his mother was abnormal.

But what happened between the two mothers and sons that could make him so abnormal with a phone call?

"You say, I'll listen. Bai Xiaojiu touched his head and smiled at him obediently.

Qi Jingchen's head consciously rubbed in the palm of her hand, like an obedient pet, and when she smiled, she also smirked, "I said that my mother pulled me up alone, and it was very tiring to make money to pay off debts, so she sent me to be a soldier." ”

"Hmm. ”

"When I come back from my military service. She has paid off all her debts and made a lot of money. ”

Bai Xiaojiu didn't understand a little, thought about it, and tilted his head to look at him again, "Huh?

Seeing her like this, Qi Jingchen smiled and put her hand to his lips and kissed it, raising his eyes and smiling at her, "Did you think that my family was very poor and owed a lot of debts?"

Bai Xiaojiu smiled a little, "Hmm." However, I think that after so many years, the debt may be almost repaid, but the family environment must not be good. ”

"When I came back from the army, I didn't want to go to work. My mom said she needed to see the society and put me in her shop as a security guard. ”

When Bai Xiaojiu heard this, she blinked, "Is her store very big?"

He had mentioned before that his mother had opened a clothing store, but she had always thought it was a small shop, just enough to make ends meet and pay off her debts.

Now listening to him deliberately mention it, I looked at him with some doubts.

Qi Jingchen smiled at her with a little heart, "We are in the north, and there are many streets with underpasses, because it is warm enough and convenient for shopping." ”

"Uh-huh, and then what?"

"Then I went to work as a security guard and found out that all the storefronts on that street were hers. ”

Bai Xiaojiu nodded first, and it took a long time to react to what he meant, and looked at him in disbelief, "The storefronts of the whole street?"

"It's not the street you think it is. It is an underground street unique to northern cities. It's not very long, and there are about ten stores that belong to her. ”

"Didn't you say your mom owned a little clothing store?"

"Well, she does have a clothing store. It is the brand store that we are the exclusive agent of there. When Qi Jingchen said this, he paused, glanced at Bai Xiaojiu's face, and said softly: "There are probably dozens of employees and thousands of square meters of stores. ”
