Qiao Ye and Yang Qu sent a message almost at the same time, I chose to watch Qiao Ye first, he told me that he and Qin Miao had arrived in Switzerland, and asked me if I wanted to go over there to meet them, they thought it was unrealistic for me to stay in Rome and wait for Xiao Ai like this, it was better to pack up and enjoy this trip.

I have nothing to say about this, he always likes to give a lot of advice to others, how could he never have thought that at this time, Xiao Ai and I are only separated by a wall, and we are not as far away as others think.

I flicked the cigarette ash in my hand, and then sent a message back to Qiao Ye, I said: "Thank God, Xiao Ai and I have met in Rome, you guys enjoy the journey, my side is not as bad as you think." ”

Qiao Ye quickly replied to the message: "Are you joking with me, or are you really lucky, what is the probability of this?!" ”

"No kidding, it's not luck, she heard someone else's message and came to Rome to find me."

"So what do you say? Will she go back with you, or will you let her go? ”

"Maybe, I'll have to go back to Nanjing......

After a moment of silence, I sent another message full of embarrassment to Qiao Ye: "When do you say we can live a little restless life?" …… I'm really ****** fed up. I told Albert that day that I really wanted to jump into the trevi fountain, he thought I was joking, but I was really tired, I always felt that no one really cared what I thought, everyone was asking me in a self-righteous way, but I didn't know how much pressure I had in my heart...... Actually, what I want is really simple, I just want to get a small yard, and then raise a few cats and dogs, plant some flowers and plants, and have a loved one by my side, I'm not that complicated, really! ”

Qiao Ye replied with a voice message this time: "Alas! I've been thinking about this for a long time, others may think that I have everything, but I myself feel that I lack everything. At the end of the day, we still want too much, because we're all struggling with not being able to get it...... Jiang Qiao, I also have to talk about you, you have so many thoughts and complaints in your heart, even if you tell me, at most you are just trying to be happy. So, you should go and tell the woman you can't get, what you have done for her, and what kind of life you want to give her...... In fact, women are very simple, what they want is clear, because they are the most insecure species in the world, so they are good at giving, and they are better at leaving, which you should experience more deeply than anyone else. ”

I put down my phone and fell into deep thought, I felt that what Qiao Ye said had some truth, so I felt that I needed to knock on the bathroom door and talk to Xiao Ai again, but I don't know if it is convenient for her now.

I stood at the bathroom door, knocked on my finger and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

After that, I only heard the sound of running water, and she seemed to ignore me, so I said again: "I want to talk to you, you see, do you come out, or do I go in?" ”

Xiao Ai was obviously putting up with me, and this time, she finally replied helplessly: "Jiang Qiao, what do you want to do?" Do you think that if you make a hole to avoid you, you can only be hidden? ”

"If you have the ability, you can make a hole for me to see, otherwise I really don't know how bad I am, and if I don't get it right, I'll tear down your bathroom."

"If you demolish it, if you dare to demolish it, I will dare to make a hole."

Not to be outdone, I replied: "If you dare to make a hole, I will dare to tear it down." ”

I said and knocked on the bathroom door, and Xiao Ai, who was so annoyed, finally opened the door, and then dragged me into the bathroom with anger, then pressed against the mirror, and said to me: "With such a big mirror in front of you, can you see what you look like now?" ”

She said and wiped the moisture off the mirror with her hand, and then pushed me forward, my face appeared in the mirror, I saw decadence, but more handsome, so I told her my truest feelings, I saw a decadent and handsome self in the mirror, I think this is the most superficial contradiction in me.

Xiao Ai was so angry with me, she turned her back to me, and said after a while: "Jiang Qiao, if I knew that you were like this, I really wouldn't come to Rome to find you, because what you want now is not the result I want." ”

I looked at her, and I didn't find evidence of duplicity in her expression, and I was inevitably a little lost in my heart, I felt that although I was a raging flame at the moment, I couldn't melt the thousand-year-old ice in her heart...... Perhaps, she really doesn't want to come back to me, even if I try my best to open my heart and put it in front of her with blood, she doesn't want to turn back.

I just nodded to her, and then didn't say anything more, I didn't think I should push her too hard, just make sure she doesn't leave, everything will come as we said before, even if she really doesn't give me a little hope anymore, it should happen in Nanjing, the city we started, not in Rome, which claims to be full of hope.

I don't know what Shawai thinks in his heart, but in my eyes, Rome is already a vision that will sustain me in thinking of everything between myself and her beautifully; Nanjing, on the other hand, is a city where I can return to rationality, because I am used to the pain and parting there, and there I will have an extraordinary endurance.

I finally said to Xiao Ai: "Don't talk about this, go to sleep quickly." You sleep in the big bed, I sleep on the sofa......"

Xiao Ai looked at me and nodded after a moment, and when she was about to move, I grabbed her and whispered, "Whether you like to listen to it or not, I have a lot of things I want to say to you in my heart...... But there is only one thing I want to say the most: no matter how the world changes and how human feelings change, we will never be antagonistic, hate each other, and avoid each other...... Because, we used to be in Nanjing, on Tulip Road, and we depended on each other, and what I couldn't let go of was this feeling, which could support me to do all the things that others thought were incredible...... I think if you really understood how I feel right now, you would choose to come back to me...... Because I really don't want as much as you think...... And what I can give you is a lifetime of only you in my heart. ”

Xiao Ai looked at me with a moving look on his face, but it was fleeting, but it was enough for me to capture. I'm not stupid, what she needs to overcome is not just the psychological shadow, there may be something deeper, I need to be patient to unravel it little by little. Thankfully, she gave me the opportunity to spend a few days together.

After a moment of silence, she said to me: "Jiang Qiao, you have to believe in my determination to accompany you back to Nanjing, I will not say goodbye without saying goodbye." However, I don't want to go back immediately, I want to stay in Rome for a while, during which time you can come to me at any time, and I am also willing to be your guide and take you to know the customs and customs here...... My only request is that we don't tie each other up in this way, I need my own independent space, and so do you...... So you go find a hotel to stay in, okay? ”

After weighing it for a while, I chose to believe her, and I replied, "Okay, I can find a hotel next door...... But you have to give me something that I don't think you can leave behind, or I won't be able to settle down. ”

Xiao Ai nodded, then took his ID card and passport from his bag and handed them to me, which gave me a sense of safety. And I kept my promise, went to the closet and took out my suitcase, took one look at her, and left her room, leaving the space she needed most.

……

After leaving the hotel for a few days, I booked a room in a very small hotel opposite, and the reason why I stayed here was not only that the room rate was nearly half of the previous one, but also because the owner of the hotel was a China expert. He told me in Chinese, which is very fluent, that half of the business of his hotel comes from Chinese, so in recent years, he has worked hard to learn Chinese, understand Chinese etiquette and culture, and is determined to make this hotel a hotel for Chinese.

After entering the room, I immediately went to the bathroom to wash, then lay on the bed, and took out the mobile phone that Yang Qu left for me again, because there was still a message from Yang Qu in WeChat that was not replied to.

I said, "I'm relieved when you get to Nanjing...... And what I asked you to do, you must take it to heart, it may take me half a month to return to Nanjing. ”

Soon, Yang Qu sent me a request for voice chat, and after I connected, she opened her mouth and asked me, "Brother, why haven't you slept yet, it should be very late in Rome, right?" ”

"I have too many mixed feelings to sleep...... As for you, aren't you supposed to have jet lag? I haven't slept yet. ”

"Would you believe me if I told you that our mother lives next door to me right now? …… I just finished chatting with her. ”

Although I felt that I had a clear conscience, when I heard Yang Qu talk about Yang Jin, I still felt my heart tighten for a moment, so that after a moment of silence, I replied: "Why did she go to Nanjing too?" ”

"She said it was a business trip, but I think it's for you. Because she had dinner with Uncle Jin and Aunt Luo last night, but I don't know what they talked about. ”

I didn't have words, but I had a hundred things in my head that they might talk about when they met. In fact, I have doubts in my heart, because Yang Jin let me go abroad too easily, but my marriage with Jin Qiu is so important to her, if I can't be with Jin Qiu, the cultivation and resources she has given Jin Qiu over the years will be all in vain.

With such doubts, I finally opened my mouth and said to Yang Qu: "I don't know why, I always feel that my mother is very restrained in the matter of me going abroad to find Xiao Ai this time...... She seems to be very sure in her heart, but what makes her so sure, I can't figure it out. ”

Yang Qu thought for a while and replied: "It's not very restrained, she has thought about finding some trouble with your visa, so that you can't go abroad, if I hadn't persuaded her bitterly, you would definitely still be trapped in Nanjing now!" ”

"Do you really think she's someone you can consuade?"

Yang Qu suddenly lost his confidence, and said after a while: "Then tell me, what does she think!" ”

"I didn't tell you, I haven't figured it out yet."

"I don't think you'd better think about it...... Maybe, she didn't think you could find Xiao Ai abroad at all, so she relaxed. ”

Yang Qu's words touched the sensitive point in my heart like electricity, and after a deep groan, I replied: "Yes, why does she have so much confidence that I must not find Xiao Ai?" …… Who gave her this confidence and made her choose restraint and superficial indulgence this time? ”
