After arriving at the airport, I returned Xiao Ai's documents to her, and then we each went to get our boarding passes, and the plane took off an hour later, and the destination was Shanghai.

In the waiting hall, Qiao Ye and I sat together, Xiao Ai and Qin Miao sat on either side of us, I don't know if it was because of the fatigue of the journey, or because we had to return to China to face those unresolved troubles, the four of us were very silent, and there was almost zero communication throughout the whole process. About half an hour before the boarding time, Qin Miao asked Xiao Ai, who had been reading magazines, from Qiao Ye and me, "Do you want to go to the bathroom together?" ”

Xiao Ai looked up at her, then agreed, then placed her handbag on my lap and motioned for me to keep it for her.

Looking at the back of the two of them leaving together, Qiao Ye patted my leg and said, "You don't want to see her bag?" Maybe there's a notebook or something, so you can't figure out how she's been feeling and how she's lived all these years. ”

I subconsciously looked at the white leather bag, and my heart moved, not that I believed that there was a notebook in it, but just because I loved her, and the desire to snoop. Of course, it would be even better if there was really a notebook or something inside.

I said to Qiao Ye: "No, she will come out in a while, if she knows that I have rummaged through her purse, she will not treat me as a human being." ”

"She doesn't treat you as a human being now, otherwise she would have been able to toss you so much!"

"Makes sense." I echoed Qiao Ye, and then opened the zipper of the leather bag, in addition to those bottles and cans of skin care products, a pile of large denominations was the most conspicuous.

Qiao Ye also looked inside, and then said to me: "Jiangqiao, and then turn over the mezzanine inside, the little secret is generally not placed in the most conspicuous place." ”

I snapped, closed Xiao Ai's purse, and then replied, "Why don't you take out Qin Miao's purse and rummage it." ”

"There are no secrets between her and me, we are a very frank couple."

"If you don't come, even if there is no frankness between me and Xiao Ai, what's the matter if you come in to see her purse? Does she have a half-dime relationship with you? ”

"Isn't this just trying to give you a boldness, and then help you see if there's anything you missed."

"No, I'm fat enough." As I spoke, I opened Xiao Ai's purse and looked at it, but I didn't find anything valuable to me, and Qiao Ye also retracted his head, and then opened Qin Miao's purse and looked at it.

After a while, Xiao Ai and Qin Miao returned to the waiting hall together, but they stopped at the door of a store selling travel goods, and then said something, their expressions becoming more and more serious......

This aroused my curiosity, so I asked Qiao Ye, "What are they talking about?" ”

Qiao Ye shook his head and replied, "I don't know, I don't feel that the two of them are people with a common language." After a pause, Qiao Ye asked me again: "If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Ai should have a good relationship with Su Han, right?" ”

"That's good."

"It may be that Qin Miao is asking her about Su Han."

I thought about it, between Xiao Ai and Qin Miao, it seems that the only woman who can talk about it is Su Han. So, I nodded, and asked Qiao Ye again: "What is Qin Miao's attitude now, is it intended to fulfill you and Su Han, or is it planned to live with you all the time?" ”

"She's not particularly clear about it right now, and she doesn't quite talk to me about it."

I replied a little incredulously: "You have been abroad for so long this time, don't you feel any signs at all?" ”

Qiao Ye held his head with both hands, then patted him heavily, and after a moment of silence, he said to me: "I can feel a little bit, she seems to be waiting for some result, this time going abroad is definitely not as simple as distracting her heart, but more like buying time for herself...... For me, this unclear attitude makes me feel panicked! ”

I looked at Qiao Ye, and then swallowed what I wanted to say back into my stomach, because this is a thing that must not be said until it is confirmed, and until now, I can't believe that the person who caused Qin Miao's miscarriage back then and could no longer have children was Su Han.

After a while, I finally patted Qiao Ye's shoulder and comforted: "Qin Miao is a smart woman, she has a plan to do things, you just have to relax, because no matter what decision she makes, it must be on the premise of not hurting you." ”

Qiao Ye raised his head and glanced at me, and did not speak again, and Qin Miao and Xiao Ai also came over at the same time, I returned Xiao Ai's purse to her, and then we were silent together until the moment when we checked in and boarded the plane.

……

After getting on the plane, Xiao Ai and I sat next to each other, while Qin Miao and Qiao Ye went to first class, which gave me the opportunity to communicate with Xiao Ai alone. After we slept for a while, the flight attendant brought us an in-flight meal. During the meal, I looked like I was chatting and asked her, "What did Qin Miao talk to you about when I was at the airport just now?" ”

"A few casual words."

"I don't believe it, it's definitely not a trivial matter for her to talk to you."

"If that's what you think, then why do you ask me?"

I pointed to the door that separates economy and first class, and replied, "I think we are a class, and it is more intimate to ask you than to ask her...... If you think about it, I'm going to run and ask her now, and I can't get through that door in the first place. ”

"Then you can go for an upgrade now and just sit with her...... You and I are not of the same class either. ”

I was scolded back by Xiao Ai like this, my heart was a little unhappy, and then I said to her: "The way you are now, it really makes me wonder that everything I experienced with you before is fake, is it that I am breathing heavily in front of you now, and you feel annoyed?" ”

"No, I don't hate you as much as you think, so don't think about it......" After a pause, she said again: "I didn't sleep well yesterday, I want to sleep a little longer, you can sleep too." ”

Xiao Ai said and handed the unfinished meal to the flight attendant, then leaned on something that could be supported, closed his eyes, and I was not in the mood to eat, but I couldn't just sleep like her.

After sitting alone for a while, I opened the luggage compartment, found a travel blanket from my bag and put it on her body, and saw that she was sleeping so peacefully, and I gradually felt a little sleepy, and then fell asleep.

……

After sleeping on and off for so many times, the plane finally landed at Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport, and I returned to this land that I knew very well. I understood everything that everyone was saying, but I seemed to have lost the ability to express myself, and I couldn't figure out how I was feeling. I don't know what I can gain after I cross the ocean and wait for Xiao Ai? She is like a flying wild horse, ready to leave my meadow overgrown with green grass just to keep her.

At the exit of the station, the four of us stood side by side with our suitcases in tow, and after a while, we waited for Yang Qu, and in Shanghai, she was the only one who could come to pick us up at this time.

She first hugged me, then greeted Qin Miao and Qiao Ye, and then walked up to Xiao Ai and said to her: "You and my brother have had a past, although they are now separated, but my brother has always been thinking about you, so call you sister-in-law, don't you mind?" ”

After Yang Qu's words were finished, everyone, including me, turned their eyes on Xiao Ai, but she barely had any emotional fluctuations, just replied: "You can call it whatever you want...... But I think it's more appropriate to call me sister. ”

"Okay, then I'll call you sister...... It's not appropriate to call you sister-in-law in front of so many people later. After saying this, Yang Qu turned to me and said, "Brother, stay in the Dream Tree tonight, the room has already been reserved for you...... By the way, my mother is also in Shanghai, and she said she wants to meet you and Xiao Ai. ”

I didn't want to be disturbed at all, so I asked Yang Qu a little unhappily, "How did she know that we came back today, did you tell her?" ”

Yang Qu replied with an aggrieved face: "Where and which hotel you are staying in, she knows everything...... So you think you need me to tell her the news of your return? ”

I was stunned for a long time before I said, "After listening to your words, I feel a little cold sweat on my hands, do you believe it?" ”

"Letter, do you feel like you've been staring at you all the time you've been abroad?"

"It's scarier than this!"

Yang Qu looked at me sympathetically, and then said: "So, I think you should go and talk to her, she is really clear about your affairs, even if you haven't lived together during this time, she knows, maybe it is because of this that she can still maintain a calm attitude and want to talk to you, after all, you haven't done things yet." ”

I didn't expect that as soon as I got off the plane, Yang Qu brought such a news that there was almost no choice, I turned to look at Xiao Ai and said, "It's necessary for me to go and talk to my mother, but if you don't want to go, I won't force you." If you want to go to Nanjing first, I'll drive you to the train station now, and you can take the bullet train there...... I'll stay overnight in Shanghai, and then I'll go back to Nanjing to look for you. ”

But I didn't want to, Qin Miao, who had never spoken, took my words and said to Xiao Ai: "If you have Jiangqiao in your heart, I think you should go and meet with his mother and make your feelings clear to her...... If you don't have Jiang Qiao in your heart, you should go and see him, because you have to talk about it in front of Jiang Qiao's family, otherwise Jiang Qiao will live in the fantasy of you for the rest of his life and can't get out...... It's not fair to him, really! ”

Xiao Ai looked at Qin Miao, and after a long time, he replied in a low voice: "So when I chose to return to China with Jiang Qiao, I had no choice, right?" ”

Qin Miao replied: "Sort of, in fact, you know very well in your own heart, otherwise how could you keep Jiang Qiao abroad for so long?" …… You have already made a choice on the basis of not having a choice...... I just hope that these days in Rome are the happiest times of your lives, so that you don't have so many regrets. ”

Qin Miao's words made me confused, so I just looked at Xiao Ai and waited for her answer.
