Chapter 360: No More (2)
Friday, Xinghai Building.
Li Yuanzhou looked at Qiao Yingying opposite with great interest, and found that in addition to being thinner, she was still in good spirits, not as sluggish as he imagined. He was slightly surprised, glanced at the coffee, milk tea, snacks and fruits on the table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you think of coming here today, and you still bring so many things?
Qiao Yingying hurriedly shook her head: "No, I haven't had a chance to thank you for the last time." Today, I was in the museum to help sort out the ancient books of calligraphy and painting, and I happened to pass by here, so I came to take a look. ”
"Thank me, aren't you angry? I didn't ask for your consent in advance, and I made an intent, so that he could misunderstand our relationship. Li Yuanzhou held his chin and looked at her idly and asked.
Qiao Yingying shook her head again, a trace of gloom crossed her little face, and she quickly cheered up and smiled: "If it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't have been able to make up my mind today." This is the best outcome for now. ”
Li Yuanzhou didn't speak, his eyes swept over her face, and after a while, he changed the subject and asked, "Is it good to be a graduate student?"
"Well, it's good, there aren't many classes, and the rest of the time is very interesting to study some ancient books and paintings with my brother and sister, and go out to participate in some cultural activities. When Qiao Yingying said this, the smile on her face was obviously real, and the conversation box that had been stuffy for many days was opened, and she couldn't hold it back for a while.
Li Yuanzhou listened to her introduce the dishes in the cafeteria of the new campus, rolled his eyes almost invisibly, and reached out to take out coffee from the bag next to him and drank it.
Just as Qiao Yingying was praising the sweet and sour pork ribs in the canteen with great interest, the office door suddenly opened.
"Yuanzhou, I'm back!" Xu Yuexi stood at the door with a bright smile carrying a small box, and the next second she noticed the person opposite Li Yuanzhou, her face suddenly changed, she stepped in violently, walked in front of her, and put the box on the ground.
"What are you doing here?" she said in a bad tone, looking at Qiao Yingying with round eyes.
"I... I was just... Passing by the way" Qiao Yingying felt inexplicably weak, lowered her eyes and replied in a whisper.
"Passing by?" Xu Yuexi's face was full of disbelief, and she snorted, "I remind you, don't think about the idea of Yuanzhou, I won't let you succeed." ”
"Pleasant. Li Yuanzhou finally came back to his senses from the accident, and when he heard her words, a touch of helplessness crossed his face, and he got up and walked to her side with a light cough, "When did you arrive, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"As soon as I arrived at the airport, I took a taxi to see you. Xu Yuexi looked up at him, a sweet smile appeared on his face again, and there was only his reflection in his eyes.
"That's... You must have something to say, I, I'll go first. Qiao Yingying felt more and more uncomfortable, and consciously planned to leave.
"Go slowly, don't send it!" Before Li Yuanzhou could speak, Xu Yuexi took the lead, and watched Qiao Yingying walk out of the office vigilantly before she relaxed her tense nerves and nestled into Li Yuanzhou's arms.
"Yuanzhou, I miss you so much. Sniffing the familiar scent of him, she said sullenly.
Li Yuanzhou didn't speak, raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, and his eyes revealed a hint of warmth.
After being tired of him for a while, Xu Yuexi remembered Qiao Yingying's pretty, lovely appearance just now, and she was still a little uneasy, so she raised her head and pouted: "Yuanzhou, why did you meet her again?
"You think too much, just met once or twice, nothing special. Li Yuanzhou explained.
Xu Yuexi was still not at ease, pursed her lips and said, "Don't meet her in the future, okay?"
Seeing that Li Yuanzhou frowned, she hurriedly added: "If you have to see me, then take me with you, okay?"
There was deep uneasiness in her tone and expression, Li Yuanzhou looked at her quietly and sighed secretly.
"I know what you're worried about, that's all in the past, don't get into the nitty-gritty. ”
Xu Yuexi nodded shallowly, her chin rested against his chest, and it took a long time to raise her head, look at him expectantly and say, "Yuanzhou, I have a good sister to hold a party tomorrow, let's bring our boyfriend and girlfriend to attend, will you accompany me?"
Li Yuanzhou doesn't like such gatherings and never participates in them. But looking at Xu Yuexi's face full of anticipation, as well as her sun-tanned red face and sweaty brain, she couldn't say anything about refusal.
"I can go, but not for long. Eventually, he agreed.
Xu Yuexi was overjoyed, and nodded again and again: "Okay, you can leave whenever you want, if we show up, it won't be a shame for her!"
***************
After Qiao Yingying walked out of the building, the embarrassment in her heart dissipated.
It seems that she still has to keep her distance from Li Yuanzhou in the future, thinking of Xu Yuexi's vicious appearance just now, she secretly shuddered, and sped up her pace to leave.
There were people coming and going on the street, and there was a kind of warmth in the chaos, she walked slowly, felt the breeze in front of her, and rarely got interested in wanting to take a break and look around, so she got on a bus at random, sat by the window and enjoyed the street scene outside.
When she saw a place of interest, she got off the bus and took a spin, and then picked a random bus to continue wandering aimlessly. As the sun set, she came to an artificial lake, sat on a chair and stared at the sparkling lake.
Suddenly, she felt that the scenery in front of her was a little familiar, and she unconsciously looked up at the other side of the lake, and was stunned for a moment.
It turned out that unconsciously, she had walked to the mountain. His home is on the other side.
She got up and was about to flee, but as soon as she took a step and froze in place, a thought rose from the bottom of her heart, constantly bewitching her.
Take a look, just take a look. He will definitely not be there at this time, and he will not be discovered. It's okay to think that you just passed by accidentally.
With the thought of it, she could hardly resist, and she arrived at the gate of Yushan step by step.
The security guard still generously let her go, she was on the familiar Lin **, her heart was pounding hard, and she seemed to be expecting something.
However, when she walked to the front of the villa, everything in front of her was poured down like a basin of cold water, making her feel a chill all over her body.
The locked gates, the yard littered with dead branches blown down by the summer winds, and the greenery that should have been in the flower house but now placed under the porch, all hinted to her that it was no longer inhabited.
He's gone.
In order to forget her, in order not to think of her again, he even changed the place where he lived.
She gently touched the cold fence of the iron gate, and the wound that she thought had healed became irrepressibly painful again, and there seemed to be a hole in her chest.
I don't know how long it took for her to slowly straighten up and drag her stiff body away step by step.
