Mu Yize glanced at the woman lightly, turned his steps, and walked in front of Qiao An'an.

"I'm sorry for you."

The smile on Qiao An'an's face slowly bloomed like a daisy, "You're welcome." ”

She couldn't help but trot a few steps with excitement, and thinking that Qiao Xu was still standing on the side, she slowed down again.

The smile on Qiao Xu's face froze slightly, and his fingers on the car door froze. It took a long time for her to close her fingers and close the car door with a "snap".

When I looked over again, I saw the boy bending over and sitting in the passenger seat.

Qiao An'an turned the front of the car around, and when she passed by Qiao Xu's side, she slowed down the car, "Sister, then let's go first." ”

Compared with the cramped and restless appearance just now, Qiao An'an was obviously much more relaxed at this time.

Qiao Xu didn't respond to her, but walked past her and looked at the little rose brother inside. As if sensing her gaze, the boy turned his face slightly, and his clear eyes looked straight at her.

Finally, he nodded at her, "Let's go first." ”

The corners of his mouth tried to pull up a smile, and Qiao Xu pretended not to care, "Be careful on that road." ”

"Hmm."

It wasn't until the obtrusive red car disappeared from her field of vision that Qiao Xu withdrew her smile.

After standing there for a while, she walked back to the shop, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous in the face of the emptiness and mess that filled the room.

On the other side -

While driving, Qiao Anan secretly observed the boy next to her with her peripheral vision. He hadn't said a word since he got into the car, and he turned his head out the window the whole time.

She licked her lips and took the initiative to find a topic: "I didn't expect you to work part-time in my sister's shop." ”

Mu Yize turned his head and suddenly said, "Are you sisters?" ”

Jo Anan nodded, "Yes." After a pause, he added, "Half-sibling." ”

"Hmm." The boy nodded and didn't ask any further.

The atmosphere in the car was a bit chilly.

Qiao An'an's fingers holding the steering wheel tightened, "Yize, you and my sister ......" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the boy, "Can you drive the car to the side of the road and park for a while, I suddenly remembered that there was something else to do." ”

Qiao Anan opened her mouth and asked lightly, "Where are you going, I can send you." ”

"No need." Mu Yize shook his head, "Aren't you having something to do at school, you should be busy with your first." ”

With a hint of gloom in his eyes, Qiao An said yes, and then parked the car on the side of the road.

"Goodbye." After Mu Yize said goodbye to her, he didn't go back to get out of the car.

Seeing that long, thin back figure getting farther and farther away from her, Qiao An'an clenched her fists hard, not even knowing that her sharp nails were embedded in the flesh.

***

Qiao Xu was holding a broom and was sweeping the garbage and dust in the room, and when she heard the footsteps, she didn't raise her head, "This store is temporarily closed." ”

She was stunned for a moment, straightened up, and turned her head to look, only to find that the person who had left had come back again.

"Why are you back again?" There is no ebb and flow in the tone.

The boy shook the mobile phone in his hand, "The phone just left in the store, I'll come back to pick it up." ”

Qiao Xu's eyes glanced at the phone, and said "oh", but thought, why didn't she find it just now?

She didn't think much about it, and asked casually, "What about Qiao An'an?" She didn't send you here. ”

Mu Yize lowered his eyes, "There's something wrong with her school." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Xu emptied the garbage into the trash can at the door, put the broom and dustpan back in place, and then walked to the sink in the bathroom to wash his hands.

After drying the droplets of water on her hands, she walked out and saw that the rose brother was still there.

Without raising her eyebrows, she asked, "Aren't you going back to school?" ”

Mu Yize glanced at her and nodded, "Then I'll go back first." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Xu leaned against the door, watching the back of the little brother Rose disappear outside the door.

She took out a cigarette and put it to her mouth, she took out the red zippo lighter, put the cigarette butt to the source of the lighter, and tried several times without lighting it.

She frowned and put away her cigarette and lighter. With a heavy exhalation, she took a step out of her slender legs and chased after her in three steps and two steps. There was no figure of Brother Rose, so she thought for a moment, locked the door of the store, and then turned and got into the classic car.

Mu Yize didn't know why he turned back again. The reason why I chose to take Qiao An'an's car was completely because of the way.

Seeing the frozen smile on Qiao Xu's face, his heart seemed to be pinched. In Qiao An'an's car, all he thought about was Qiao Xu's smile, and in the end, he didn't resist the impulse in his heart.

Just as he was in a daze, the sound of a car horn came from his right. Mu Yize turned around and saw Qiao Xu smiling at him with his lips hooked.

It was his familiar smile, free and easy, with a hint of carelessness.

Somehow, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the woman's deep and mellow voice say, "Aze, get in the car." ”

Without waiting for him to answer, she said again: "No refusal." ”

Seeing from a distance that the bus he was going to take was coming this way, Mu Yize hesitated slightly, and finally got into her car.

Qiao Xu obviously saw the public car as well, and the smile in her eyes shook off little by little, lining her eyes.

The classic car was already driving slowly, and Qiao Xu secretly slowed down the car, so it was originally only a more than ten minutes drive, but she was dragged to half an hour.

When he arrived at the S gate, the boy whispered, "Thank you." ”

Qiao Xu smiled: "You're welcome." ”

When the figure of the little rose brother disappeared, she whistled, and her mood instantly turned cloudy and clear.

But Jo Anan also seems to like Brother Rose.

The smile in Qiao Xu's eyes faded, and then drove back to the apartment.

The next day-

Because the flower shop was temporarily closed, Qiao Xu simply slept well. When she woke up, it was already noon, and she pulled her short hair and washed up briefly.

Xiao Hei was already waiting to be fed on the balcony, and his rough cries grew longer and longer.

Qiao Xu rubbed his eyes, fed it some fruit casually, and then went downstairs to the noodle shop to eat a bowl of noodles.

She eats a lot and frequents the noodle shop because of the large amount of noodles served there.

After eating and drinking, she came to the door of the store unhurriedly.

The renovation workers had already been busy, and Qiao Xu took a closer look, and Brother Rose was indeed inside.

She squinted slightly, looking through the transparent glass door, and could see Little Rose's sweat-soaked face and slightly messy hair.

Standing at the door, Qiao Xu didn't go in, just wanted to see when the boy could see her.

The boy at work was very focused and devoted, and Qiao Xu waited for a while without waiting for him to look up.

Stupid, obviously as long as he looks up, he can see her.

Qiao Xu pursed her lips and knocked on the glass with her fingers, and the boy who heard the movement raised his head, and then, she saw those beautiful eyes light up little by little.

"When did you come?" Through the glass door, Brother Rose's voice was a little low.

Qiao Xu pushed the door in, and glanced at the busy renovation workers, "It hasn't been long since I came." ”

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to him, "What about you, how long have you been here?" ”

"It didn't take long." The boy replied.

Qiao Xu didn't expose him, turned around and went to the bathroom, took a new towel, dipped it in water and wrung it out.

When she came out, she handed him the wet towel in her hand, "Here, wipe your sweat." ”

Mu Yize was slightly stunned, and a smile stretched out at the corner of his lips, "Thank you." ”

He reached out and took the towel, and the fingertips of the two accidentally touched it, bringing a strange feeling. After the sticky sweat was wiped off, Brother Rose's face looked much refreshed, Qiao Xu took the towel from his hand, washed it and dried it on the towel rack.

Two towels hung side by side, both with the same cartoon bear pattern, the difference being that one was warm yellow and the other was khaki.

The curvature of the corners of Qiao Xu's lips slowly expanded, and he was in a good mood to fly. O(∩_∩)O~~

This was busy until the afternoon.

Qiao Xu looked at the time, it was already half past five in the evening.

"Aze, I'll send you back to school after dinner."

Hearing her suggestion, Mu Yize subconsciously wanted to refuse, Qiao Xu seemed to have known that he would not agree, and preemptively said: "Don't refuse." ”

“……”

Qiao Xu directly dragged his arm, joking while pulling him: "Don't worry, I won't sell you." ”

"......" Mu Yize's gaze fell on the hand she was dragging his arm.

His thin lips pursed slightly, and he blinked very slowly.

The two found a nearby restaurant, and Qiao Xu often came to eat alone, which was not expensive and relatively clean.

She ordered four dishes and one soup, and during the meal, Brother Rose didn't talk much, and Qiao Xu didn't know what to talk about, so she simply stopped talking and ate directly.

After eating, when it was time to settle the bill, Qiao Xu was just about to pay for it, when the boy opposite suddenly said, "I'll come." ”

Qiao Xu was stunned, and just about to refuse, Brother Rose got up and went over to settle the bill.

Blinking slowly, Qiao Xu stared at his back motionlessly, and always felt that today's little brother rose was very different.

After paying the bill, when Mu Yize turned around, he happened to meet the woman's gaze.

She didn't dodge when she was caught, staring at him with a burning and focused look.

Lowering his head a little uncomfortably, the boy walked up to her, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Xu nodded, his ass still next to the bench.

"......" Mu Yize said: "Then I'm leaving?" ”

When Qiao Xu heard this, he stood up suddenly, "I can't walk, you pull me." ”

The boy hesitated slightly, stretched out his palm up in front of her, Qiao Xu hooked his lips and smiled, put his hand on it hard, and clenched it.

I don't know when Mu Yize suddenly found that he was used to riding in her car.

Her car drove very slowly, not as fast as he could take the bus, but every time she offered to drop him off, he was reluctant to say no.

Time flew by, and soon, the lounge was renovated and the florist was open as normal.

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at the renovated lounge and couldn't help but sigh again and again.

"Sister Qiao, when did your taste get better?"

The corners of Qiao Xu's mouth twitched, and he said faintly: "Is my taste very poor?" ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze from looking at the lounge, shook her head vigorously, and hurriedly patted her ass and said, "Your taste is the best." ”

Qiao Xu slapped off the goosebumps on his body, "I didn't choose this style, I picked it with Aze's help." ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao opened her mouth exaggeratedly, with a look of ill will, "Sister Qiao, do you have a play with Brother Yize?" ”

Qiao Xu shook his head and muttered softly, "Little Brother Rose is difficult to chase." ”

"It depends on who is chasing." Zhou Xiaoxiao made a cheering gesture at her, "Sister Qiao, come on, I will always support you behind your back." ”

Qiao Xu reached out and pinched her fleshy soft cheeks, "Thank you." ”

***

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhao Zheng raised his face, and when he saw the tall woman in front of him, he was stunned.

"Qiao Xu, has anything good happened recently?"

Qiao Xu sat on the sofa as usual, and when she heard Zhao Zheng's question, she raised her eyebrows, "Why do you ask that?" ”

Zhao Zheng smiled, and a soft light flashed in the eyes behind the glasses, "You've been a lot more beautiful lately." ”

"Really?"

Qiao Xu stretched out her index finger and rubbed her chin, as if she had thought of something, and the smile hooked up from the corner of her mouth, and finally merged into her Yan Jia eyebrows.

Zhao Zheng nodded and reached out to help the frame of his glasses.

He then flipped through the case report and began the psychological examination that he would take every Monday.

Since Qiao Xu warned him last time, Zhao Zheng has not truthfully reported her situation to Qiao Hongsheng. Basically, what he told Qiao Hongsheng was some trivial things about Qiao Xu, such as what he ate, what time he went to bed and what time he got up.

"Doctor, I feel like I'm getting more and more inseparable from Brother Rose."

Qiao Xu held his cheek with his right hand, his eyes were foggy, obviously remembering something.

Zhao Zheng put down the pen in his hand and asked in a gentle tone: "Which form is inseparable?" Lived or emotional? ”

The woman's eyes were contemplative, but a trace of doubt flashed between her beautiful eyebrows, and she shook her head, "I don't know either." ”

"Do you like him, then?" Zhao Zheng softened his voice and tried not to put pressure on her.

"I like it." The woman did not hesitate.

Zhao Zheng paused and asked, "Then do you want to be with him forever?" ”

Qiao Xu came back to his senses, the mist in his eyes disappeared, and a cold smile appeared on his mouth, "I want to see him every day and talk to him, as for forever?" She paused, and said lightly, "It's never too early to say." ”

Zhao Zheng knew that this woman had always been so sensible, and she could go crazy at any time.

"Then you should only have a temporary crush on him."

Qiao Xu leaned his head on the back of the sofa, his slender neck raised slightly, and his eyes looked straight into the void.

"I guess so." She felt that she was a little conflicted now.

On the one hand, I don't believe in eternity, and on the other hand, I feel that my attachment to him is not just temporary.

Or is it simply the attraction of beauty?

She grabbed her short hair, stood up, and stretched out her hand at Zhao Zheng, "Doctor, thank you very much for listening to my nagging all the time, even though it is out of your duty. ”

Zhao Zheng smiled and shook her hand, "You're welcome." Then he added: "I hope you can untie the knot soon." ”

"Thank you."

Looking at the back of the woman turning away, Zhao Zheng didn't have the mentality of treating her as a patient before.

Although she has an eccentric personality, after such a long period of contact, he finds that as long as she does not provoke her, she usually does not target anyone.

***

When she received Ling Key's call, Qiao Xu was cutting her hair in front of the mirror.

When her hair grew a little long, she lost the ends of it, which is why her hair didn't grow long.

Looking around in the mirror, Qiao Xu played with his short hair with one hand and picked up the phone with the other hand.

"Hello?"

"Qiao Xu." Ling Jian called out her name in a deep voice, "I'm at your house." ”

Qiao Xu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously lifted the curtain and leaned downstairs, seeing the empty venue, she pouted, "Are you kidding me?" ”

Ling Jian on the phone said a word, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

He said he was at Qiao's house.

Qiao Xu's tone was a little bad, "Where are you going to do something?" ”

"Your dad called me." Ling Key's tone was also bad.

Qiao Xu tried hard to restrain his feelings, and asked in a deep voice, "What did he tell you?" ”

"He said you were going to get into contact with me."

Qiao Xu nodded, and then realized that Ling Jian couldn't see it, so he stated in words: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Ling Jian was suddenly a little angry, "Qiao Xu, why do you do everything on your own?" Why didn't you tell me about the marriage contract? ”

Qiao Xu looked inexplicable, "Didn't you say that as long as I can persuade Qiao Hongsheng to let us contact the marriage contract, you have no opinion?" ”

Ling Key on the phone was blocked, and said in a bad tone: "I don't care, you hurry over now and figure out the relationship between us." ”

"......," Qiao Xu sighed.

Immediately, without waiting for Ling Jian on the phone to say anything, she simply hung up the phone.

Not long after the phone hung up, the mobile phone rang again, Qiao Xu directly disassembled the mobile phone board, and the world was finally quiet.

She exhaled heavily, and her temples twitched at the thought that Ling Jian didn't know what to say in front of Qiao Hongsheng.

After sitting in the house for a while, she finally picked up the car keys and drove to Qiao's house.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when I arrived at Qiao's house.

Seeing Qiao Xu come back, a trace of surprise crossed Zhang Meiqi's eyes, and then greeted her warmly, "Xiao Xu, Ling Jian called you just now and said that your mobile phone was turned off, I thought you wouldn't come." ”

Qiao Xu turned his body sideways, avoided physical contact with Zhang Meiqi, and asked concisely, "What about Ling Keyren?" ”

Zhang Meiqi's smile froze, and then her smile bloomed again, "He is in the study with your father, and I asked Zhang's mother to go over and report it?" ”

"No need." Qiao Xu frowned indifferently, turned around and walked in the direction of the study.

Arriving at the study, Qiao Xu just wanted to knock on the door, but found that the door was hidden, and the conversation inside also reached her ears without a trace.

Qiao Hongsheng's voice was magnetic and majestic, "Ling Key, I know that it is common for men to act on the scene in business, but you should know Qiao Xu's temperament, if you get married in the future, you still have a red flag at home, and the colorful flags fluttering outside, do you think Qiao Xu will be willing to endure it?" ”

Ling Key's voice was a little low, obviously lacking confidence, "Uncle Qiao, if you want me to break up with those confidantes outside, I can call them now to break up without saying a word." ”

"It's divided, what about later?" Qiao Hongsheng continued to ask.

Ling Jian was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "I'll be honest with you, I don't dare to guarantee it in the future." ”

"One of the things I appreciate most about you is honesty." Qiao Hongsheng sighed, "I also know that if Qiao Xu follows you, you will definitely treat her well." ”

"Uncle Qiao......" Ling Key shouted at him.

Qiao Hongsheng raised his hand and stopped his words, "I just hope that you can be good to Qiao Xu, and there are no other requirements." After a pause, his tone became stern again, "But there is one thing I want to say ahead, no matter how many women you have outside, you must be able to hide from Qiao Xu." ”

Ling Jian lowered his head and did not speak.

Qiao Hongsheng sighed: "Qiao Xu's situation is more special, and he can't be stimulated. ”

"Uncle Qiao, don't worry, no matter whether Qiao Xu will get sick in the future, I will not give up on her."

Listening to Ling Key's words like an oath, Qiao Xu suddenly wanted to laugh.

This Ling Key, is she willing to drag her to death?

Thinking so, she slowly pushed the door in, and in the face of the eyes of the two of them, she opened her lips lightly, her expression was firm, "I don't agree." ”

These four words, she said neatly and neatly, and there was no room for turning.

The muscles on Qiao Hongsheng's face were a little stiff, "Qiao Xu, you eavesdrop on us." ”

Qiao Xu didn't have any weak look on his face, and replied confidently: "You forgot to close the door." ”

Ling Key's lips moved slightly, and he walked in front of Qiao Xu, "Qiao Xu, you just listen to Uncle Qiao." ”

The smile on the corner of Qiao Xu's mouth sneered, "Why should I listen?" The marriage contract between us seems to me to be uncountable. ”

"Qiao Xu!" Qiao Hongsheng roared angrily.

Qiao Xu had a smile on his face, and turned his head to look at Ling Key, "Are you really willing to marry me?" ”

Ling Jian was a little speechless for a while, and Qiao Hongsheng next to him said with a dark face: "Qiao Xu, you are no longer a child, don't be so willful." ”

Qiao Xu didn't pay attention to Qiao Hongsheng, still staring at Ling Key intently, and repeated: "Are you really willing?" ”

Her eyes were so clear that Ling Jian seemed to be able to see her hesitant self in her eyes.

Was he really willing? Tied to Qiao Xu for the rest of his life?

Ling Jian closed his eyes suddenly, avoiding Qiao Xu's gaze, his voice trembling and high-pitched: "I don't want to, it's the same with whoever I marry anyway, I'd rather marry you." ”

Qiao Xu closed his lips tightly, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ash.

It's foggy and indistinct.

Ling Jian opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he heard the woman say word by word: "But I don't want to." ”

“……”

"I'd rather be crazy than marry you."
