22. Chapter 22
Qiao Xu's taste followed her mother Liu Manru.
In my memory, the delicate and sickly woman would always decorate the house with pastoral flowers, and then wait for her husband to come home.
Day after day, year after year.
Until a certain day—
Dressed in a white vintage dress, she leaped from the windowsill and blossomed blood-colored flowers on the ground.
Qiao Xu actually didn't have such a deep impression of Liu Manru, and those memories had long been buried in the grasshopper of time. Over the years, she rarely remembered her, and she couldn't even remember her face. And Qiao Hongsheng, that coward, may have put away all the photos of Liu Manru because of his uneasy conscience.
once asked Qiao Hongsheng if he ever liked her mother, but he didn't answer.
Qiao Xu thought, it shouldn't have been, even if he likes it a little, it is more to use the ingredients. After all, before he met Liu Manru, he was just a poor boy with a unique good looks.
Thinking about it now, Liu Manru was crazy infatuated with Qiao Hongsheng at the beginning, and she also liked his face.
The years are indeed tolerant of Qiao Hongsheng, he is almost fifty years old, except for some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, the muscles of his face are not deformed. And the temperament is the same as aging, and it has become more mellow and charming by time.
However, as far as she knows, Qiao Hongsheng, who is still charming, has no other women around him except Zhang Meiqi.
This may be what is called love.
It really made her feel sick.
Qiao Xu came back to her senses, took out a cigarette and lit it, and in the mist, she narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the orange chandelier from the eighties on the top in a daze.
In fact, she is not a superficial person, peeping at the little brother Rose, stalking him to investigate him, not because of his face.
Sure enough, she is still very similar to Liu Manru, at least, she is also a nymphomaniac.
When the cigarette butt was about to burn his fingers, Qiao Xu hissed and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
The index finger was burned, and the burning pain spread to the heart along the veins of the palm, and the pain intensified. Qiao Xu frowned, opened the drawer casually, and pulled out a band-aid to put on it.
- Knock knock.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Xu guessed that it should be Brother Rose who had arrived, so he got up and walked to the door.
opened the door, and through the crack in the open door, I happened to see Mu Yize standing beside Zhou Xiaoxiao, with a cold expression.
His figure is the most perfect hanger, white shirt and black pants, simple dress, but he wears it with luxury. Qiao Xu's gaze stayed on his neckline for a few more seconds, and there was a faint regret in his eyes.
It is said that people who are accustomed to buttoning all the buttons of their shirts are more rigorous and introverted, and they are meticulous.
Mu Yize's personality is quite consistent.
Qiao Xu smiled slightly, "Aze, today is your first day at work, if there is anything you don't understand, you can come and ask me in person." ”
"Hmm."
Mu Yize agreed very simply, in fact, he did not come to her.
Qiao Xu waited, waited, but didn't wait for Brother Rose, he couldn't help but open the door and poke his head out to take a look, Mu Yize was talking to Zhou Xiaoxiao, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth with a slight lip color.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was teaching him how to pack flowers, and the fresh and bright flowers were in his arms, which made his cold eyebrows and eyes a little more beautiful.
Qiao Xu was stunned for a while, and he didn't even know how to walk over.
"Ah, Sister Qiao, why did you come out?"
Zhou Xiaoxiao thought that Qiao Xu was sleeping inside, so he didn't bother her.
"Oh, I'll just take a look." Qiao Xu glanced at the flower in Mu Yize's hand and smiled, "How is it, are you still used to staying here?" ”
Mu Yize nodded, "It's okay." ”
"Well, that's good."
At this time, it was close to noon, and there were no customers in the store, so Qiao Xu immediately made a decision and said to the two: "Let's go out to eat first." ”
"Okay." Mu Yize still cherishes words like gold.
Qiao Xu couldn't help but look at him twice.
To say that his personality is naturally indifferent, it is not true, she just saw Mu Yize talking and laughing with Zhou Xiaoxiao.
But why did he seem extremely quiet when he faced her alone, with a hint of defense in his indifference and detachment.
Qiao Xu touched his lips and smiled.
The three of them went to a nearby hot pot restaurant, and the bottom of the pot was old soup, which was rich and delicious.
Qiao Xu secretly observed Mu Yize, and saw that he was slightly drooping his eyelashes, eating hot pot attentively and carefully, and the smile in her eyes grew.
"Is it delicious?" She asked him softly, turning her head.
"Hmm." Mu Yize's chopsticks in his hand were beaten, "It's delicious." ”
When he came out of the flower shop, he put on a gray coat, and when he was sweating hot, he took off his clothes and hung them on the back of his chair.
Qiao Xu's gaze fell on the collar of his shirt again, and no matter how hot it was, he didn't unbutton it.
I couldn't help but look at his face, his eyebrow bones were particularly good, and the bridge of his nose was straight, a bit like a half-breed. At this time, the perfect face seemed to be covered with a layer of powder, which lined the slightly shallow eyes with watery water.
Qiao Xu was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and pretended to eat seriously.
Mu Yize, who was opposite, blinked slowly, and his crow-like eyelashes swept a faint shadow on his eyelids.
Qiao Xu and Mu Yize are not people who talk much, most of them are Zhou Xiaoxiao talking alone.
From time to time, a cheerful voice came out, like a lively and moving little sparrow.
Business in the afternoon was much better than usual.
As soon as those young and beautiful girls entered the flower shop, their eyes glanced at Mu Yize's body, as if they were bees that had seen flowers.
Sure enough, beauty can indeed attract people, but only if it is beautiful enough.
In the evening, when Qiao Xu counted today's turnover, he found that it was twice as much as usual. Immediately he burst into laughter.
She didn't lack that little money, but the sense of accomplishment she got from it made her extremely satisfied.
As soon as five o'clock arrived, Mu Yize planned to get off work.
Qiao Xu raised his face from the ledger, "Eh, are you going back to school, I'll send you." ”
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on Mu Yize's long back, he turned his face slightly sideways and didn't look back, "Thank you, a classmate is going to come and pick me up in a while." ”
When he lifted his steps again, the sunlight spread all around him.
Qiao Xu narrowed her eyes slightly, and the floating light jumped in her pupils, revealing a light color.
She couldn't help but take a few steps and leaned against the door frame, just as she wanted to take another look, a familiar car was imprinted in her eyes.
She straightened up with a blank face and watched the boy in the white shirt walk over step by step.
In the red car, the girl smiled like a flower.

"Doctor, there's something that has puzzled me for a long time."
Another Monday morning, Qiao Xu came to Zhao Zheng's psychological clinic.
This was the first time Zhao Zheng saw Qiao Xu's confused eyes, and he couldn't help but ask patiently: "What's the matter?" ”
"What do you think of sibling love?" Joe looked at him steadily.
Her eyes are beautiful, with thick and curly lashes and a built-in eyeliner effect.
Zhao Zheng opened his eyes, and the tip of his pen tapped the paper, "This is a matter of personal choice, and I don't want to judge too much." ”
"Hmm." Qiao Xu also felt that this question was a little inexplicable, touched his lips and smiled.
After laughing, she suddenly turned on a straight face, and asked indifferently: "Doctor, do you think Qiao An'an is beautiful or am I beautiful?" ”
She has an active mind, and every question will go around a few bends in her head.
Zhao Zheng paused for a few seconds, chose the most appropriate wording, and said, "You are all beautiful." Raising his eyes and glancing at Qiao Xu, "The style is different." ”
Qiao Xu pursed his lips and tapped his knees with his fingers, "Doctor, you didn't answer my question directly. ”
Zhao Zheng smiled bitterly and asked her, "What answer do you want to hear?" ”
"I want to hear the truth."
Qiao Xu was extremely persistent in this problem.
Knowing that he couldn't fool the past lightly, Zhao Zheng frowned and thought for a moment, but still said what was in his heart, "An An is more feminine. ”
Qiao Xu didn't speak, and his dark eyes were calm and waveless.
Glancing at the woman opposite with some apprehension, Zhao Zheng didn't know what she was thinking.
In fact, Qiao Xu is not unbeautiful, but the beauty is too awe-inspiring and terrifying. In contrast, the simple and lovely Joan Ann is easier for people to approach.
"I see." After a long time, Qiao Xu showed a smile inexplicably, "Doctor, I don't want a third person to know about our conversation today. ”
She said this with a smile, but Zhao Zheng could see a trace of ruthlessness in her eyes without a smile.
He froze for a moment, not making a sound.
Qiao Xu stood up unhurriedly, "Doctor, I know you are Qiao Hongsheng's person, but I like you to think clearly, do you want money or death?" ”
Zhao Zheng's face on the other side changed slightly, Qiao Xu tilted his head and smiled slightly, "Doctor, don't you all think that I am a patient, if a mentally ill person kills someone, he should not be criminally responsible." ”
This was undoubtedly a threat in disguise, cold sweat crept up on his forehead, and Zhao Zheng barely squeezed out a smile.
"Don't worry, I will never sue anyone."
After getting this sentence, Qiao Xu smiled with satisfaction.
