The mall staff took the massage chairs to the nursing home before us, and Xiao Ai and I walked outside the pedestrian street and prepared to take a taxi to leave the place. But only halfway through, Xiao Ai was reluctant to move, she stood under a quaint street lamp, frowned and said to me: "Jiangqiao, I can't walk anymore, my feet are a little painful, and a little cold."

I looked at her feet, and the cotton slippers were completely soaked with the rain, so it was strange that they weren't cold

I asked her to sit on a bench on the side of the road and then carefully took off her socks. After carrying her on his back, he wrapped her feet with the coat he had taken off, and only after making sure that her feet were warm, did he carry her back to the outside of the pedestrian street again

As night fell, the rain never stopped, and the wind blew colder. However, waiting for a taxi in this bustling area became the hardest thing at this time, because I had been waiting on the platform with Xiao Ai on my back for nearly a quarter of an hour.

Finally, Xiao Ai leaned into my ear and whispered, "Jiangqiao, are you cold, why don't we go back and drive." ”

"It's nearly 1,000 meters away from where you live, and I can't carry you that far, so I'd rather be colder."

Xiao Ai subconsciously hugged me tighter, so intimate that I could even feel her body temperature. After that, for the first time, she said to me in an almost gentle tone, "Then I'll come down and walk." ”

"Don't be, your trendy socks are still in my pockets, and your cotton slippers are in your hands, but don't torture yourself anymore"

It seems that God has mercy. At this time, an empty taxi finally stopped beside us, I defeated several opponents who were also waiting for the car, reached out and opened the car door with dexterity, and then turned around and put Xiao Ai into the car first, and then I also opened the other side of the car door and sat in.

On the way, I put Xiao Ai's cold feet into my clothes, almost touching my own skin. And this is definitely not a kind of flattery or flattery, just afraid that she will catch a cold, and then in addition to the foot injury, there will be another kind of pain. Actually, in my heart, I really hope that she can take more care of herself in a life without the warmth of family.

"Jiang Qiao, are you so daring to dedicate to every woman?"

I thought she was bored and asked this question that was not important between us, but when I looked at her, I found that her face was very serious, even solemn, so I smiled and replied, "Do I have any dedication to you?"

She asked rhetorically, "Isn't this a dedication now?"

"Come on, some time ago, you falsely accused me of beating you, I'm afraid the guarantee is still in your house."

"Yes, I'm a very emotional person, and when I see that you are uncomfortable, I will lie to you; When you really have a moment when you are kind to me, I praise you"

I sighed: "Is it really good to live so freely"

The road, especially in the city center, was jammed with traffic, so it took us almost an hour to get to the nursing home, and it was already completely dark, but the rain was still pouring down, as if to show my melancholy and loss at this time.

After paying for the car, I helped Xiao Ai, who was wearing cotton slippers again, out of the car. But she didn't want to, so Grandma stood under the eaves of the communication room and waited, and she happened to see this scene in her eyes

I was filled with trepidation because of this. Because my grandmother, who longs for me to start a family as soon as possible, can assume that any girl I have had intimate contact with is my girlfriend.

I whispered to Xiao Ai, who was being supported by me, "You can walk by yourself later, my grandmother is watching from the reception room."

Xiao Ai subconsciously looked in the direction I said. The next moment, she hurriedly let go of the hand that was holding my arm, and it seemed that she was more afraid of this inexplicable misunderstanding than I was.

Just as we walked side by side towards the nursing home, the mobile phone, which had barely moved that day, finally rang in my pocket, and I took it out and looked at it, this call was from Qiao Ye.

After I connected, Qiao Ye asked me, "Where are you, haven't you forgotten about eating together at night?"

"See my grandma in the nursing home, and I'll be there later."

"Okay, I made an appointment with Chen Yi before half past seven, don't be late."

I looked at the time, and it was already half past six, but Tulip Road was still relatively close to here, which meant that I still had about 40 minutes to stay in the nursing home to chat with my grandmother, who was even more lonely than me.

After ending the call with Qiao Ye, I came to my grandmother's side after Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai had already taken the initiative to chat with my grandmother, and then looked at the somewhat old nursing home in front of me, and this was also a long-standing pain in my heart. Because I don't want my grandmother to spend the rest of her life in such an environment endlessly, but now I am more and more confused, so this wish is even more like a dream that I can't wake up

When I entered my grandmother's room, the massage chair that Xiao Ai bought was placed next to the bed, which made the room more humane, and then I remembered to formally introduce Xiao Ai to my grandmother, and then by the way, I would leave aside the relationship between us and save from being misunderstood.

"Milk, this is my friend Xiao Ai, and the massage chair was given to you by her."

Grandma looked at Xiao Ai and said, "You and Jiang Qiao came to see grandma, grandma is very happy, you don't have to spend so much money these years, it is not easy for you young people to make some money." ”

Xiao Ai didn't mind that I was called friends with her, she replied politely: "Grandma, this is a little bit of my heart, don't you mind, Jiang Qiao and I both hope that your body can be healthy, so I thought of buying you a massage chair." ”

Grandma smiled, took Xiao Ai's hand and said, "This girl is really good at talking"

Xiao Ai smiled, but there was a little bit of shyness on her face after being praised, and I was immediately shocked, because in my impression of her, she was definitely not a very decent girl, but at this moment, her words and deeds were perfect enough to make me impeccable. Then I realized that maybe her recklessness was just due to her willfulness, but the real one is that she has a high emotional intelligence and is just unwilling to show it for some reason.

Sure enough, she changed the topic the next moment, and asked without any confusion: "Grandma, can I borrow a pair of socks from you I got my socks wet when I was shopping with Jiangqiao just now."

"Yes, some are afraid that you will think grandma is not clean."

Night has come, Xiao Ai sat at the head of the bed, wearing the patched socks, and had been chatting with her grandmother about the trivialities of life with great interest, and I, like the last time Chen Yi came, I couldn't interject, just listened silently, and then thought about something about the future.

Should I continue to be a well-behaved office worker, or should I listen to Chen Yi's words and start my own business

I couldn't make up my mind for a moment because it meant going through two very different lives, so I wasn't mentally prepared enough to deal with either the former or the latter.

I thought of Chen Yi again, and we will have a chance to eat together later. If she is well-informed enough, she may have known about my dismissal from the company, and after my rude violation of her last night, whether she is still willing to worry about my future I still have no answer, only know that when I face her again, I will be afraid and apologize, but the feeling of kissing her last night is really like having the whole world, which makes me unforgettable. I really like her breath and the warmth of her body

The time advanced unhurriedly to 7 o'clock, and I finally said to Xiao Ai, who was still chatting: "Qiao Ye will invite me and Chen Yi to dinner later, if you want, come with me." ”

Xiao Ai raised his head and looked at me, and replied, "I'm not going, I'll talk to grandma for a while." ”

I reminded, "After seven o'clock, it's not easy to get a taxi here." ”

Xiao Ai took out his car keys from his purse and said, "Then you can drive to pick me up after eating." ”

I was a little worried that she had made the decision to stay out of politeness, so I asked in confirmation, "Are you sure you want to stay here and I'll be around for at least 10 o'clock." ”

Xiao Ai replied a little impatiently: "Why are you not sure that it's too early for me to come at ten o'clock?"

"That's it."

"I wish you and Chen Yi a lot of fun"

I had already turned to leave, and looked back at her

I said that it was Qiao Ye who invited us to dinner, but she mentioned Chen Yi alone, which seemed a bit deliberate, but I felt that I was too sensitive, because when I heard Chen Yi's name recently, my fragile nerves would be torn apart, and then I began a series of cranky thoughts that had no logic at all, and at this moment, I may be in this state.

After a light rainy evening, I finally left the nursing home, but my mood became complicated in an instant, because I didn't know if Chen Yi would go to Qiao Ye's appointment with Qiu Zi'an later. At this time, I am sad enough to face Chen Yi alone, and if there is more Qiu Zi'an, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a sense of existence in the overlapping pain.

Although I am willing to wish Chen Yi happiness generously, this does not mean that I can see everything in my eyes, but I force myself to pretend to turn a blind eye. I'm still obsessed with that night of desperate confession, even if it didn't end perfectly.

I can be sure that if Chen Yi and Qiu Zi'an go together, they will undoubtedly be rejecting my confession last night in a tactful way, because there is no need to say too much about love, and action is the best answer
