Chapter Eighty-Five: True Love Requires Sacrifice
Qi Jingtao smiled disappreciatively, "Xiaoli, don't kill a boatload of people with a stick, why are men duplicitous?" I didn't know that rose tea had this effect, so I didn't recommend it to you." Now that I know, I will prepare more rose tea for at home in the future, and you can drink it often. Oh, the water is rising, you wait, I'll make you beauty tea right away. ”
Qi Jingtao said, went back to the kitchen and picked up the boiling kettle, divided eight or nine rose buds and put them into the glass teapot, and flushed the boiling water into the glass teapot. As the boiling water is brewed, the rosebuds gradually bloom in the teapot, the leaves slowly stretch, the color changes from light to dark, and the color of the water gradually changes to a purple-red color.
"It's so beautiful, I actually saw the roses blooming. Just now, I wanted to ask you why you put away the purple clay pot and used the glass pot to make tea. Originally, if you brew in a glass pot, you can see the process of the roses blooming. Xu Manli looked at the rose petals floating in the glass teapot and whispered.
Qi Jingtao put down the boiling kettle, glanced at Xu Manli, who seemed to have shifted his attention to the teapot, and said after a few minutes: "How about it, even the tea that is full of poetry and picturesqueness in the brewing process is suitable for you beauties?"
Xu Manli reluctantly looked up at Qi Jingtao and asked stupidly, "How do you drink?"
"Nonsense, of course, pour it into a teacup and drink it while it's hot. Qi Jingtao said, picked up a glass teacup, carried the teapot and poured a cup of rose tea with a strong purple color and handed it to her.
Xu Manli took the teacup, smelled the tea that exuded a fragrant and elegant floral fragrance, her mood seemed to be much soothed, she tasted it shallowly to try the right temperature, drank it dry in a few sips without any scruples, pursed her lips unsatisfied, and handed the teacup back: "It's so delicious, another cup." ”
Qi Jingtao helped her fill the cup, Xu Manli held the teacup, this time she was not in a hurry, she sat quietly, and tasted the tea one by one without hurry.
Qi Jingtao poured himself a cup, sat on the sofa opposite and looked at Xu Manli, who was drinking tea, and said, "Xiaoli, can you tell me what happened?"
Xu Manli's face quickly turned cold, "Hehe, what can happen." My boyfriend called and said he was getting married, and the bride wasn't me. Hehe, Brother Tao, you say, what is this?"
"It's a good thing! Prove that your so-called boyfriend is not yours at all, and it is worth you to pour yourself with wine alone?
"Borrowing wine to drown sorrow, sorrow is even more sorrowful. ”
"Then you still pour it? I heard Su Min say that you and your boyfriend haven't met since they graduated from college. ”
"I haven't seen each other for almost a year, he is in Huize, I am in Yunnan, and it takes seventeen or eighteen hours to drive back and forth. He didn't come to see me, many times, I wanted to go over and meet him, and he always found an excuse to shirk it. Hehehe, I didn't expect him to have a girlfriend over there, and he called me every day to ask for warmth. Hehe, today I finally said that I was going to get married. Xu Manli held the teacup in both hands, and her eyes were misty.
Qi Jingtao looked at her eyes seriously and smiled, "Hehehe, Xiaoli, your classmate has a bit of a conscience, you are a real man!"
"He has a conscience, and his conscience has long been eaten by dogs. Xu Manli glared at Qi Jingtao and shouted.
"Xiaoli, don't get excited. You are only lovers in college, and you may have fantasized about a married life after graduation, but you did not have the courage to act on it when you graduated. Qi Jingtao said quietly.
"How do you act, hand myself over to him?" Xu Manli glared at him fiercely.
Qi Jingtao looked at her for a moment and smiled, "Hehe, did you hand it over to him?" Xiaoli, I didn't mean that. ”
"And what do you mean?"
Qi Jingtao stared at the puffed Xu Manli, and said slowly: "Sacrifice." When you, or your family, are not able to help you who love each other to be assigned to a city when you graduate. Have you and him ever considered sacrificing one's job and future to accommodate the other for the sake of your so-called love? ”
Xu Manli thought for a moment and tilted her head to look at him, "What do you say?"
Qi Jingtao leaned on the sofa, lit a cigarette, took a puff and leaned back on the cushion, not looking at the beauty opposite, "I have a pair of classmates and lovers in college, one stayed in Spring City when I graduated, and the other had to go back to Lijiang, my hometown, because I was a directional escort student." Hehe, that's far enough. ”
"Nearly a thousand miles away, it's far enough. What happened?"
"Where is better between Chuncheng and Lijiang? The two of them want to live and die together, you say, where will the two of them choose to work and live. ”
"Well, huh. Xu Manli glanced dissatisfiedly at the person who was looking up at the ceiling and telling her story.
"Hehehe, through normal work transfers, that classmate in Lijiang can't go to Spring City at all. But Chuncheng's family, it is absolutely impossible for her to go to Lijiang to accompany her lover. But they want to be together, guess what they do?" Qi Jingtao finally straightened his body and looked at the pensive Xu Manli playfully.
Xu Manli pretended to raise the teacup in a chic manner, drank it dry, those big eyes seemed to be rejuvenated, and looked at him with a flickering and said: "What else can I do, it's been two years since I graduated, don't delay anyone, break up!"
"Wrong. Just worked for a year, last year, the person in Lijiang who quit his job at the People's Bank of Lijiang Prefecture quit his job and went to Chuncheng to open a small computer company, and met his sister who worked in the Chuncheng Bank of Communications. He sacrificed his promising career and went to sea to accommodate his mistress. Hehehe, although he is still miserable, his computer company doesn't even have seven or eight people, two or three robbers, at best, it is the standard of a typing shop. However, there are lovers who eventually become married, and their wedding dates have been set, just next month, on the day we graduate, is it romantic enough?"
"Romantic. Why didn't I meet such a person? He could have come to central Yunnan to find a job as an accountant in a private company, and I could have gone to Huize at that time. ”
"Have you put it into action, do you dare to sacrifice one side to accommodate the other," Qi Jingtao said, picking up the teapot and helping Xu Manli, who sighed with an empty teacup, to refill half a cup of tea.
Xu Manli sat there, her feet unconsciously crossed on the sofa, and a pair of white and tender calves were exposed to the light and full of temptation. But their owner didn't seem to realize it, and the pretty face seemed to be smiling, and said: "I didn't think about it at all, I just wanted to try to see if I could transfer together through normal work, but neither of us had the ability, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to work in the printing house, and I would have gone to work in other better units." ”
"Hehehe, isn't this over, the relationship between the two of you is the same as most college romances, and it is not true love at all. Love is a matter of two people, but to break up, it is enough for one person to decide.
Now, the two of you are able to decisively choose to break up with you without really hurting each other. In this way, you can at least retain a piece of innocence and memories, and when you get together at the class reunion years later, you can happily drink and chat together, how nice.
That's why I said that your classmate still has a little conscience. At least he didn't continue to deceive you. If he has no conscience, he can irresponsibly deceive and play with you, and finally break up with you in a chic manner under the pretext that the two places are separated, unrealistic, etc. Marry his wife over there and live his life. What can you do?"
Qi Jingtao seemed to finish his closing statement, pressed the cigarette butt that burned to the butt of the cigarette into the ashtray, didn't dare to look at the lazy and confused pajama beauty in front of him, got up and went back to his room.
