Xia Qixi has been focusing on looking at the pedestrians flashing outside the car window, neon lights, and his heart calmed down for a short time, but after watching for a long time, his eyes couldn't help but be a little sore. Adjust your sitting position, rest your head on the back of the chair, relax your body a little, and close your eyes.

Chen Ziyu looked at her quiet at the moment, thinking that she was a little sleepy because she had worked all day, so she turned down the sound of the radio and slowed down the speed appropriately.

Although Xia Qixi at this moment is still for him Chen Ziyu, it is still just out of mutual use, and there is nothing special, but I don't know why, he always seems to be able to empathize with some of her circumstances, so looking at her occasionally undisguised slightly sad and helpless eyes, he will unconsciously move his heart of compassion.

Of course, he knows very well in his own heart that this so-called compassion is not just out of sympathy or pity, or the natural desire to protect a beautiful girl as a man, but mixed with some hidden emotions in his heart, and to be honest, the girl he has seen Xia Qixi is really not beautiful, but he is attracted to her.

Even this compassion has never been felt even in his previous girlfriend.

Chen Ziyu has never denied that he really loves his ex-girlfriend, and he really wants to stay with her until he is old. What's the matter, my girlfriend yearns for freedom and doesn't want to be comfortable with the family too soon. As the two of them spent more time together, the conflict on this issue slowly grew, and finally half a year ago, his girlfriend accepted the company's overseas work and left without looking back.

There was no quarrel and no too much complaining, he helped her pack her luggage, delivered it to the airport in person, and finally looked at her back and waved goodbye.

Since the separation, he has rarely thought about things related to her, but at the moment he doesn't know why, the old images keep flashing in his mind.

The first time they met happened to be the freshman registration, because he arrived a day early, everything had been cleaned up, so he was bored standing at the school gate to read the latest issue of the propaganda newspaper.

"Senior, how do I get to the girls' dormitory?"

A crisp voice sounded behind him, and he thought that he must have been mistaken for a senior because he was too idle, so he turned around to explain, but he bumped into her smiling face.

Jeans, white shirt, canvas shoes. Thin and tall, with a long ponytail, in the heat of the day, she dragged an oversized suitcase in her left hand and a duffel bag in her right hand, with sweat on her face and a smile on her lips.

That day, he sent her to the dormitory and learned that her name was Zhao Jie, and she was a management major like himself.

Later, they often met in the public class, and occasionally participated in activities together in the student union, Zhao Jie was lively and active, and there was a little bit of boy's heartiness in his personality, and the girls in the university were generally indulged in chasing stars, buying beautiful clothes, and studying makeup, but Zhao Jie was an alternative,

She loves the NBA, loves LOL, loves cycling, and loves sports.

Of course, her preferences are the same as Chen Ziyu.

At first, it was just a basketball game against other schools, and she appeared on the sidelines as a cheerleader, and later she became the head of the school basketball team, so they occasionally called her when they practiced.

Later, Chen Ziyu and several boys in the outer courtyard made an appointment for a League of Legends match, and the losing side was responsible for the winning side's lunch for half a month, and each meal should not be less than 20 yuan per person.

The match was scheduled for Sunday night, and Chen Ziyu and the other four brothers were ready at the Internet café early that day, just waiting for the other party to arrive before the battle. Who expected that the game was about to start, but the brother in charge of the jungler frequently ran to the toilet because of bad food. Chen Ziyu proposed to give up the game, but several other people disagreed, because it had been agreed in advance that the side that gave up the game would lose, not because of the money for those meals, but because of the face of a man.

The other party has been urging, and at this critical moment, Zhao Jie appeared.

The network in the dormitory was out of order, and Zhao Jie accompanied the girls in the dormitory to the Internet café to revise a study report, and saw that several of them wanted to come over to have a look, but they were arrested as temporary substitutes.

At that time, Chen Ziyu liked the position of the middle laner in LOL the most, and this position often required the cooperation of the jungler the most, so the two people who played the game must have a tacit understanding.

Zhao Jie and Chen Ziyu are obviously cooperating for the first time, but she can accurately judge the next step in his every move, and then quickly provide support.

As a result, they won the game that day, and almost everyone was impressed with this girl.

So in the next half month, Zhao Jie followed them to eat a free lunch.

Originally, everyone spent more time together, but I don't know when it started, it became Chen Ziyu and Zhao Jie alone.

One comes and goes, naturally.

Because they have a common hobby, there are always a lot of endless things to say when the two of them are together, watching the NBA live broadcast on the computer in the middle of the night in the Internet café, riding a bicycle in the suburbs together on the weekend, and even the game is the best partner who is inseparable. The two of them have never quarreled in the four years of college, and they are the envy of others.

After graduating from college, Chen Ziyu quickly found a job and rented a house, but at that time, he earned little, and there was basically little left after paying the rent, and the only precious thing was that Zhao Jie had always been by his side, and they supported their yearning for a better future with the meager income of both of them.

It's a pity that they have all worked so hard, but they have never been able to move towards that beautiful future together.

Chen Ziyu has never told his parents about the existence of this woman, he is not deliberately concealing, but respecting Zhao Jie's choice, if his parents know that he has a girlfriend, they will definitely ask to take it home to see him, and they will urge them to get married, Chen Ziyu knows that Zhao Jie is not ready to get married, so he doesn't want her to be unhappy because of this matter, and he has not mentioned it to his family until the two officially broke up.

Except for a few good buddies, no one knows about this relationship, let alone the harm that Zhao Jie's departure has caused him.

Chen Ziyu looked at Xia Qixi, who was still asleep, and reminded himself to face the reality that everything before had passed.

Because it was the first official meeting, it was a little abrupt to invite the family, so the Chen family set a place in a famous Sichuan restaurant.

The car drove off the highway, then crossed two streets, turned left, and finally stopped on the side of the road.

Xia Qixi originally just felt that his eyes were a little uncomfortable after looking at things for a long time, but he didn't expect this relaxation, but he really fell asleep and slept very peacefully.

Chen Ziyu looked at the person who was sleeping beside him at the moment, without the stubbornness of unwilling to admit defeat, and more quiet and tranquil, and couldn't help but suspect that maybe this was what she should be.

"Wake up, we're here," Chen Ziyu said with a gentle push on Xia Qixi's arm

Xia Qixi is in a long dream, in which she is still the same as when she was a child, likes to wear floral skirts, runs all day long, and never seems to know tiredness.

Hearing someone talking in his ear, he opened his eyes in a daze, looking at the darkness outside, and was in a trance for a while.

Chen Ziyu looked at her with a confused look and couldn't help but smile and said, "You really sleep soundly, aren't you afraid that I will have anything to think of?"

Xia Qixi sobered up from his words, but she didn't care, she still had this self-knowledge, she was not his dish.
