CHAPTER 40

In my life, the most feared thing is not being able to meet someone who makes you have the urge to go to the soup.

On weekends, Jiang Xiaoxi takes turns off, and when he is idle, he makes an appointment with Yao Qian to go shopping.

As soon as Yao Qian arrived at the entrance of the agreed shopping mall, she saw a radiant Jiang Xiaoxi walking towards her. The reason for her pregnancy, her face was much rudder, with a happy smile on her face, and she stepped forward to hold her wrist, "Shen Bai, you have to go shopping with me today, I don't have time to go out for a walk these days when I come back." ”

Yao Qian smiled slightly, followed her to the mall, and joked: "Today I am ready to be a hard worker." ”

They went to the furniture city on the second floor first, Yao Qian looked at Jiang Xiaoxi's patient selection of furniture, and couldn't help but ask her curiously: "Do you want to buy furniture?" ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xiaoxi nodded, still holding a crystal bed lamp in his hand, "Gu Yan and I decided to settle in City C, he just returned to China, and the new house has not had time to be renovated." ”

Gu Yan has just returned from London, and he is a doctor of medicine who has returned from studying abroad at a young age, and he has now confirmed his employment at C University. The work has not been arranged yet, and there is no time to decorate the new house, so he and Jiang Xiaoxi can only temporarily live in the Gu family's old house.

"It turned out that considering that I was pregnant, Gu Yan planned to push back the decoration thing, but I didn't agree."

Yao Qian nodded, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it good to live in the Gu family?" ”

The Gu family's old house is located in the famous villa community of City C - Riverside New Town, which is at least 30 minutes away from the city center by car, and has the superior conditions of facing the lake with the mountain in the back. At the beginning, the Gu family chose to settle down because of the geographical location near the suburbs of Riverside New Town, and the ambient air was impeccable.

"I want to move as much as I can while my stomach is not yet pregnant. It's not that the Gu family's old house is bad, after all, it's not the home of the two, and it will still be a little inconvenient. As she spoke, she put down the lamp in her hand, looked at the wall lamp on the side, pointed to one of them, and asked Yao Qian, who was still more satisfied, "What do you think of this?" Or is it better to be the bigger one? ”

Yao Qian looked at it and pointed to the one she first fell in love with, "This one is not bad." ”

"That's it." Jiang Xiaoxi's eyebrows curled, as if he had accomplished such a great thing.

She has never had much pursuit in shopping, and she has no opinions. When I was in high school, shopping with Yao Qian was basically Yao Qian who was responsible for selecting, and then bargaining with the seller, and she followed behind and was responsible for paying for it. Later, when she went shopping with Gu Yan, she would habitually ask his opinion, who knew that Gu Yan was even less pursuing than her, and after coming and going, shopping slowly became a very tiring thing.

This was a long-awaited shopping that made Jiang Xiaoxi feel comfortable physically and mentally, and they went to pick a table again. When choosing bedding and sofas, Jiang Xiaoxi made a mistake again.

"What's wrong?" Looking at her hesitation, Yao Qian couldn't help asking.

"Gu Yan likes cold colors, and I prefer warm colors."

Gu Yan always has a little resistance to red and yellow objects, but Jiang Xiaoxi likes to love such colors. When Gu Yan saw a big red bed in his apartment for the first time, his open mouth could be stuffed with an egg. Several times, Gu Yan took advantage of Jiang Xiaoxi's class time to secretly change the bedding.

For this reason, Jiang Xiaoxi has considered whether to sleep in separate beds several times, and he is very serious.

"Your taste is still so cute."

Yao Qian couldn't help laughing, Jiang Xiaoxi's hobby has been around for a long time. After the college entrance examination that year, in order to participate in the graduation party, Yao Qian took Jiang Xiaoxi to walk around the stalls, and Jiang Xiaoxi took a fancy to either the big red dress or the rhubarb high heels. At that time, she refused them all one by one, because Chen Ziang didn't seem to like bright colors very much, so she finally bought a white dress and a pair of white high heels.

Thinking of this, the corners of Yao Qian's originally open mouth were a little stiff, and when she turned around and saw Jiang Xiaoxi looking at her, she said after a moment of silence: "Then buy them all." ”

In the end, Jiang Xiaoxi bought two sets of bedding, and the sofa was black, in her own words, dirt-resistant.

After the two finished shopping for the furniture, Jiang Xiaoxi pulled Yao Qian to the men's clothes upstairs. Men's clothing is not as monotonous as women's clothing, and the color and style are more monotonous. The only thing that is the same is that most of the customers are women. Yao Qian was a little tired from walking, so she simply sat down and waited for Jiang Xiaoxi. She was just a moment, Jiang Xiaoxi was already coming over with a light blue shirt, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Hmm..." Yao Qian looked at the clothes in her hand seriously, they were very large, almost blocking half of Jiang Xiaoxi's body, compared to the colors that Jiang Xiaoxi loved, this color was indeed much more pleasing to the eye.

Yao Qian's gaze bypassed Jiang Xiaoxi and swept around the clothes in the store. Finally stood up, chose a gray checkered and handed it to Jiang Xiaoxi, "In a serious place like a university classroom, this one is more suitable." That blue, probably fat. ”

Jiang Xiaoxi looked at the clothes in Yao Qian's hand, stunned for a moment, and looked back and forth between Yao Qian and the clothes. Yao Qian touched her face puzzled, "What's wrong?" Don't like it, or do I have something dirty on my face? ”

Jiang Xiaoxi shook her head, pointed to the clothes in her hand and said, "Shen Bai, I bought a shirt at the specialty store in the east of the city last time, and it is the same one in your hand." ”

"Looks like we're looking alike." Yao Qian smiled and hung the clothes in his hand back on the hanger.

Jiang Xiaoxi secretly looked at Yao Qian's face and said honestly: "Actually, it is Chen Ziang's vision. ”

Not long after she returned to China, she once asked Chen Ziang to accompany her to go shopping. When it comes to shopping and buying clothes, Chen Ziang's patience is better than that of her Gu Yan. As soon as I stepped into the specialty store, my eyes swept around the store and I stood quietly aside. Chen Ziang's figure is about the same as Gu Yan, and Jiang Xiaoxi treats him as a model, and he has no opinion. Later, seeing that Jiang Xiaoxi really didn't pay much attention, he walked to a row of hangers and picked out a piece of clothing and took it out for her.

When checking out, Jiang Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask him, "Do you accompany women shopping like this?" ”

"It's not." Chen Ziang shook his head, his eyes became profound, "It's been a long time since I've gone shopping with others, so it reminds me of her." You're different, you're her best friend. ”

confirmed Jiang Xiaoxi's speculation that Chen Ziang took care of her just because she was Yao Qian's friend.

Yao Qian didn't squeak, remembering the day she and Wen Nan met outside Wenxi's treatment room, Chen Ziang got out of the car and walked into a clothing store. At that time, I didn't know that it was Jiang Xiaoxi who accompanied Chen Ziang in.

She lowered her head and looked at the shirt in her hand, feeling hot. Turning his gaze away, he replied in a low voice: "Oh..."

Then, he picked up a dark blue cotton shirt next to him, turned his head calmly and asked Jiang Xiaoxi, "How about this?" ”

"Okay." Jiang Xiaoxi took the clothes and went to the counter to settle the bill.

Coming out of the store, Yao Qian kept her head down and walked. When she walked around the corner, Jiang Xiaoxi pulled her to her side to avoid bumping into others.

Jiang Xiaoxi looked at Yao Qian, who looked panicked, and couldn't help but sigh, "Shen Bai, why don't you ask why I go shopping with Chen Ziang to buy clothes?" ”

Yao Qian smiled slightly, that smile really didn't seem to care, "I know, I saw you that day." Creek, I don't have anything left with him, you don't have to explain. ”

After the two of them sat down in a restaurant downstairs, Jiang Xiaoxi said slowly: "Gu Yan's cousin Gu Jinchen and Chen Ziang are friends, Gu Yan has always regarded Chen Ziang as an elder brother, this time we returned to China, Chen Ziang helped a lot." ”

Yao Qian only nodded, probably able to guess that Jiang Xiaoxi still had a lot to say.

Jiang Xiaoxi moved the corners of his mouth, "Shen Bai, I didn't mean to help Chen Ziang speak, you also know that I didn't like him very much in the past." Over the years, in the days when you were away, do you know how Chen Ziang came over? He ran to London alone and begged me to tell him where you were. I didn't say anything, he followed me every day. I didn't know either, so he started looking for it alone. ”

Hearing those past she didn't know, Yao Qian was silent for a while, and suddenly interrupted her, "Xiaoxi, don't say any more." ”

Resisting in anticipation, Jiang Xiaoxi stared at Yao Qian, "Shen Bai, I only tell you what I know." It took seven years to find someone, and I have never seen such affection. ”

Gu Yan once told Jiang Xiaoxi that his cousin Gu Jinchen had never had a woman by his side, and he spent more than ten years waiting for a little girl to grow up. Jiang Xiaoxi felt very incredible at that time, and she also asked Gu Yan to take her to see the girl, whose name was Xia Ran, who was very simple and kind. Gu Jinchen has always asked Gu Yan to pay attention to Xia Ran from time to time, and inform him if there is anything.

This incident had a great impact on Jiang Xiaoxi, but Chen Ziang was even better than Gu Jinchen.

Gu Jinchen only had to wait, but Chen Ziang didn't even have a chance to wait.

"Over the years, I've been in touch with Chen Ziang, who travels to London almost every once in a while, occasionally going to the Academy of Fine Arts alone to take classes, or asking me something about you. Two years ago, he called me and told me he had found a girl who looked a lot like you. Speaking of this, Jiang Xiaoxi deliberately paused and met Yao Qian's misty eyes.

And she was holding the steaming coffee, and took a sip, burning her lips and tongue.

Jiang Xiaoxi frowned, took out a tissue from the table and handed it to her, "You should also know her, that girl's name is Wen Nan." I began to think that Chen Ziang was going to find a replacement, and he would waste his life like this. I'm not worth it for you, and to be honest I'm a little bit happy for him. Perhaps, one day he will fall in love with Wen Nan, and then forget you and live separately. ”

Yao Qian hurriedly took the tissue handed by Jiang Xiaoxi, wiped the corners of his mouth, Chen Ziang's face, Wen Nan's face, and familiar faces appeared in front of him. She felt palpitations and slowly reached out to cover her eyes.

Obviously, Chen Ziang did not fall in love with Wen Nan, and Wen Nan always knew that he was just a substitute.

"Then he flew to London and we talked for a long time. He shook his head and smiled at me, which reminded me of you, the way you failed every time you confessed. Shen Bai, do you know what he said to me? ”

Jiang Xiaoxi reached out and held Yao Qian's trembling hand, "He said, looking at a person who is very similar to you, it's painful. Because no matter how much that person resembles, it is not you after all. ”

Yao Qian looked at her in a daze, her eyes were blank, she lowered her head slowly, and after a long time, she raised it, her eyes were already slightly red.

"Shen Bai, why are you unwilling to let go of the past and give him a chance. I know you can't let go of him in your heart, or you wouldn't be in a mess when you hear about him again. It was precisely because he knew that Yao Qian couldn't let go of Chen Ziang that Jiang Xiaoxi decided to tell her about Chen Ziang.

"No, I can't." Yao Qian's voice trembled, and she lowered her eyes, "Xiaoxi, I've been divorced." ”

In fact, what she wants to say is that between her and Chen Ziang, it is no longer as simple as one contradiction or two contradictions.

"It doesn't matter, if he minded, he would have given up a long time ago."

They all knew that Yao Qian was just making a reasonable excuse for herself. An excuse to let go of the relationship, she took a deep breath and almost murmured, "Xiaoxi, he's married." ”

"Did he say it to you himself? Shen Bai, did you hear it with your own ears? Didn't you think I was his wife? But I'm not. Facing such a cowardly Yao Qian, Jiang Xiaoxi felt pity and anger in his heart.

"He..."Yao Qian opened her mouth, but she couldn't say any more. He didn't tell it to himself, and she didn't hear it. It's just that his wedding ring has always been worn on the ring finger of his left hand. 166 Reading Network
