The next day, the sky was clear for several days, and the temperature dropped to 15 degrees. So, I put on the sweater I hadn't worn in a long time, and I didn't know what to do, and I always remembered the busy scene of the "mood café" some time ago.

I used my tablet to log on to the same city website, and then posted a transfer information, in addition to the new equipment and new tables and chairs bought by Ji Xiaowei, there are some things left over from the Su Han period in the coffee shop, although they can't be sold at a good price, but they are also an income.

When it was almost noon, I carried the wooden ladder to the store, unloaded the signboard on it with my own hands, and moved all the things that could not be sold back to my small courtyard.

On my fourth trip between the courtyard and the coffee shop, I unexpectedly spotted Qin Miao, wearing a long down jacket, standing at the door of the coffee shop in a mess.

I stood not far away and looked at her under the umbrella, her lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and her figure was obviously fat, like an expectant mother.

She was shedding tears, and I walked over to her with a soft sigh and followed her gaze to the shop pù, which could no longer be called a shop.

"In the future, there will be no place in this world called a mood coffee shop, are you satisfied?"

Qin Miao turned to look at me, she didn't answer my words immediately, but took out a bag of tissues from her pocket and handed it to me and said, "Wipe the rain off your face." ”

I took it, and the hatred for her in my heart was not as strong as the previous day, as if everything had been extinguished by the rain this morning, and a new beginning awaited us.

After a moment of silence, Qin Miao said to me, "Jiang Qiao, I came to see this coffee shop on purpose, but looking at its dilapidated appearance now...... I didn't breathe a sigh of relief as I imagined. I'm still the most failed woman in the world! ”

"I'm going to die or live by you, and you're only telling me this now, don't you think it's too late?"

Qin Miao wiped her tears with a tissue, she looked at me and replied, "The matter of poaching the manager of the coffee shop was done by me when I lost my mind. During that time, as long as I thought of myself and the child in my belly, I felt so inferior that I couldn't raise my head, and I was so angry that I couldn't sleep day and night, and I couldn't find an outlet for my love, so I was angry at the coffee shop left by Su Han, this is my fault, I am willing to admit it, and I will apologize to you! However, the fact that the coffee shop was ordered to close by the fire department really has nothing to do with me. ”

I looked at Qin Miao, trying to find evidence of lying in her eyes, and in my heart, she was still the most motivated person.

Qin Miao said again: "If it was really me who did it, what would I not dare to admit?" What can you do with me? ”

I was a little angry: "You're the best, okay!" ”

"I'm not here to quarrel with you, let alone come to see your jokes......"

I interrupted her: "So what are you here for?" ”

Qin Miao began to shed tears again: "I just wanted to ask you for a favor...... If Qiao Ye contacts you one day, you can help me tell him...... Just said that Qin Miao was still thinking about him and waiting for him...... I hope that one day he will miss Nanjing, so he will come back and have a look, and I will take the child to pick him up. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Miao couldn't cry, I couldn't help but sympathize in my heart, for a woman, how difficult it is to transform endless humiliation and hatred into a kind of waiting love, but Qin Miao did it, she has no choice in life except Qiao Ye, and this is the sad thing about the marriage of politics and business.

Or, she has fallen in love with Qiao Ye to the bones, and it is not as complicated as I thought, she just wants to find the father who is wandering outside for the child in her belly.

I suddenly felt that Qiao Ye was really not a thing, even more excessive than Jiang Jiyou back then!

Even if the coffee shop thing was really done by Qin Miao, I didn't want to hate her anymore, at least not at this moment.

I lowered my voice and said to her: "Maybe you don't want to believe it, but in my heart I never wanted Qiao Ye and Su Han to be together, let alone favor anyone between you and Su Han, I persuaded Qiao Ye many times in those days in Lijiang, but he refused to listen." He really hated your marriage arranged by his parents, and he also had old feelings for Su Han, and after these two factors were superimposed, it was no longer just human power that could stop him...... I hope you don't hate me anymore! ”

"Well, that's it, if you're willing."

I nodded, and my heart gradually relieved the anger of having to fight her for life and death a few days ago, and it was true that there was only a misunderstanding between us that outweighed hatred.

Qin Miao stopped crying, she looked down at her slightly bulging lower abdomen again, then raised her head and closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to me after a long time: "Jiang Qiao, you and Chen Yi are friends who have been with Qiao Ye since childhood. Especially Chen Yi, we are both only daughters, and the relationship between us is even more true than that of many sisters, but during this time, I made her suffer a lot of anger and heartbreak. Today at noon, I invited the two of you to dinner, which is considered an apology, and I hope we can return to the way we used to be in the future! ”

……

At noon on this rainy day, Qin Miao drove me to the TV station, and we went to find Chen Yi who was recording the show, and then stood patiently on the corridor of the building until 12 o'clock.

Chen Yi, who walked out of the broadcast hall, was a little surprised to see us, she didn't believe that I would get together with Qin Miao.

Qin Miao took her hand, choked up and said, "Xiaoyi, I'm sorry...... During this time, I have lost a lot of vexatious tantrums with you, but you have always been with me and let me enlighten me...... Having a sister like you is a blessing that I cultivated in my last life, and I should cherish such feelings...... Today, I came to you with Jiangqiao, just hoping to invite you to dinner, and then apologize to you, I have caused you trouble these days! ”

Chen Yi looked at Qin Miao, and then at me, tears were rolling in her eyes, I knew the grievances she had endured these days, for her, this moment was really too long!

She hugged Qin Miao tightly, and cried and said, "Miao Miao, don't say sorry to me, you just need to know that I cherish the sisterhood between you and me is enough!" I know no one is more miserable than you, and I really feel sorry for you, so no matter what you do to me, I can accept it...... You don't have to blame yourself, as long as you and Jiang Qiao can get along like before, it will be the greatest comfort to me! ”

Qin Miao and I glanced at each other, no one wanted to make Chen Yi sad, they both nodded, and those contradictions that should not have been resolved between us.

……

After lunch, I acted as a driver to accompany Chen Yi and Qin Miao to the mall to buy things, the purchasing power of the two was amazing, and in a blink of an eye, I was carrying many large bags and small bags, and they did not forget to give back to me as a coolie, and one of them gave me a valuable tie, which gave me an illusion, as if I had returned to a long time ago, when Xiao Ai had not yet appeared.

Qin Miao drove away first, and Chen Yi and I stood at the door of the mall, and the rain was pouring down not far from us, and then wet the ground along the eaves.

Chen Yi caught a few drops of rain with her hand, and sighed before me, she smiled: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy like today, tomorrow must be a good weather after the rain and the sky is clear!" ”

"Well, I've seen the weather forecast, and tomorrow will be sunny."

Chen Yi nodded, and looked up at the rainy sky, I felt a cigarette on the light, and then looked at her side face, the silver stud earrings seemed to shine against her fair skin.

She finally turned to look at me, and after a long silence, she asked me, "What are your plans for the future?" ”

"I'm not going to open a coffee shop anyway."

"It's okay if you don't open it, in fact, your ability is not bad, as long as you find a project and devote yourself to it, you will definitely be able to succeed!"

I nodded, took another deep puff of cigarette, Chen Yi carefully sorted out the wrinkled clothes that I had just sat on when I was driving, and she asked me again, "Where will you go to relax in the near future?" ”

I shifted my gaze from looking at her, and after a while, I replied, "I'm going to Taipei for a while, I'm waiting for a pass." ”

I don't know what Chen Yi's expression is, but I heard her ask softly, "Are you looking for Xiao Ai?" ”

"Hmm."

Chen Yi didn't speak again, and I used smoking to hide some feelings.

After a long time, Chen Yi took my arm and asked me to look at her, she smiled and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, in fact, you can talk to me a lot about Xiao Ai, there is no need to take care of anything...... I know the person you like is no longer me, it's nothing! Because most people don't start from the beginning, ...... So I can wish you happiness, as long as you are really happy, I will be the person who is happiest for you in the world...... It's true! ”

Chen Yi smiled, tears in his eyes......

I looked down and up, but I didn't look at her in the face, and finally just replied, "Thank you...... I feel the same mood as you, as long as you are really happy, I will also be the person who is happiest for you in the world. ”

"Hmm...... Then I wish you a smooth trip to Taipei in advance. ”

"Thank you."

Chen Yi closed her eyes, let the tears fall, and then did not cry again, she smiled and waved to me, and walked out of the corridor of the mall, and then walked in the rain that fell like catkins, and the rain soon soaked her white shirt, and she stood on the side of the street waiting for the taxi to come and go.

She looked back at me again, and I choked on it. This picture, like many years ago when I rode my bicycle and looked back at her behind her, sometimes she lowered her head to eat, sometimes responded to my smile, but what remained unchanged was her clothes, always so clean, with a little bit of laundry detergent fragrance.

The past and the present gradually overlapped in my sight, Chen Yi's figure faded away, but the figure of another woman became clearer and clearer.

I'm going to Taipei, go to see the 101 building, see the night view of Ximending, eat Azong noodles, and then find her......
