"Huh?" Qiao Xihe was a little surprised.

Eric said, "Why, is this something incomprehensible?"

Qiao Xihe shook his head, "It's not, it's just that you didn't reveal the slightest idea of staying here for a long time before." ”

Eric said: "I think it's better to think it over and talk about it." ”

"And what about your parents?"

"They were very supportive of my idea, and they decided that they would return to their home country when they retired. "You see, our family will be reunited eventually." ”

"That's good, too. With a lot of things on his mind, Qiao Xihe returned to his faint appearance.

Eric stared at her, eventually sighing silently, "I have to go, let's meet again after the Christmas break." ”

Aunt Du happened to come out of the kitchen when she heard Eric leaving, and shouted, "What about eating here today?"

"I'm sorry, Aunt Du, I'm going to leave here for a while, and I'm sorry I didn't inform you in advance. Eric said apologetically.

Such a polite person, how could Aunt Du bear to blame, she just sighed, "Forget it, you young people have a lot of things, I can understand it." When you come back, you must come to dinner, didn't you say that you like my food the most?"

"yes. Eric said briefly, because of Qiao Minglei's matter, he was not in the mood to talk to Aunt Du now, so he nodded to Qiao Xihe, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Well, goodbye. Qiao Xihe raised his hand and waved twice.

Such a reaction made Eric's heart swell with mixed emotions, but he didn't say anything, turned his head and left the nursing home.

Qiao Minglei's matter, he must find out where Pei Tingyuan got the evidence, and who framed Qiao Minglei...... Moreover, no matter what method he used, he had to prevent Pei Tingyuan and Qiao Xihe from meeting again.

After Eric left, Qiao Xihe sat alone on the sofa in the living room, rubbing the corners of his eyebrows.

There are many things on her mind that she can't talk about, and there is no one to talk about, and the backlog in her heart makes her feel a little out of breath.

There was a lot of fog, and there were so many questions in front of her, but she was like a newborn baby, unable to understand anything, unable to think clearly.

Aunt Du was busy in the kitchen for a while, and when she came out, she saw Qiao Xihe still sitting on the sofa, and asked in surprise, "Miss Qiao, aren't you going to take a nap today?"

Qiao Xihe said: "I can't sleep." ”

Aunt Du hesitated for a moment and said, "Eric is such a good young man, he is actually leaving, alas, I have begun to miss him now." ”

Qiao Xihe said: "No way, his home is not here now." ”

"Here in the future?" Aunt Du was overjoyed.

Qiao Xihe nodded, "Hmm." ”

Aunt Du is happy, but there is one thing that she can't understand - when did Miss Qiao and Eric get along?

has been with them for a long time, and she can't see that the words and deeds between the two of them are very measured, except for the last time they go back to the lake for an outing, they never have any intimate actions.

So, they are shy and don't even dare to hold hands?

Aunt Du couldn't figure it out, and then heard Qiao Xihe continue: "In the future, his parents will return to China to settle down, and at that time he will have a home in China, right...... He may find true love in China in the near future. ”

"......" Aunt Du was stunned, it turned out that she had misunderstood Qiao Xihe's meaning, and sighed heavily.

Qiao Xihe was worried about her and didn't notice her sigh.

Aunt Du was disappointed, but she couldn't help it, so she waved her hand, "I'm going to the kitchen, Miss Qiao, you better rest for a while." ”

"yes, I see. Qiao Xihe promised, but his body didn't move at all, sinking into his own heart, unable to extricate himself.

In the evening, Aunt Du prepared the meal and called Qiao Xihe several times, she came back to her senses and was about to get up, when suddenly the mobile phone rang.

She thought it was the lawyer who brought the latest news, until she saw that the phone number was from abroad, and thought that it was a scam call from a virtual number, and she was about to press the hang-up button, when she suddenly remembered the game.

"Could it be ......," she hurriedly picked up the phone.

"Hello, is it Miss Qiao Xiheqiao?"

"Yes, I'm Qiao Xihe. Facing the upcoming preliminary test results, Qiao Xihe only felt nervous at this moment.

The person on the other end of the phone said in fluent English: "Hello, I am a staff member of the International Jewelry Design Competition, and I am happy to inform you that your registration has passed the preliminary examination and you can enter the second round of the competition." The detailed schedule of the competition has been sent to your email, please pay attention to check, if you have any questions, please contact our staff in time. ”

"I passed?" Qiao Xihe asked, afraid that the other party would misunderstand the language because it was not his native language.

The other party said, "Yes, congratulations, Miss Qiao." ”

"Thank you. After Qiao Xihe put down his phone, the expression on his face was faint, and he couldn't say how happy he was, and even had the slightest idea of quitting the game.

In fact, she didn't think about it clearly at the beginning, so she rashly wanted to participate in the competition, and had fantasies about the future that she shouldn't have.

Now, with so many things to think about, she feels like she probably can't spare some energy to face the game.

She rubbed her phone, looked at the list in the newsletter, thought about it, and gave up the idea of calling Eric to confide.

Eric is about to return to China to be reunited with his family, which is a happy thing, so why bother worrying about her?

Forget it, let's not cause trouble for others.

At this moment, Pei Tingyuan, who was sitting in his office, also received a phone call.

"Mr. Pei, we found out that Mrs. Pei has signed up for an international jewelry design competition, and she has passed the preliminary examination. ”

"Huh?" Pei Tingyuan's eyes lit up, he had heard of this international jewelry design competition, and he had sent someone to investigate this competition before, but he didn't find the name of "Qiao Xihe" from the list of contestants as vast as the sea, "How did you find it, are you sure?"

"Through the comparison of information, it was determined that it was Mrs. Pei, and her surname was in Cantonese pinyin, so we didn't find it before. In addition, we investigated her phone number and address to register for the competition, and found that they were all from Hong Kong, and we sent someone to check, but there was no whereabouts of Mrs. Pei. ”

"In this kind of competition, there will never be fake numbers. Pei Tingyuan frowned, his eyes flashing with a cold light, "Someone is doing ghosts behind his back." ”
