Chapter 14: Did She Hurt Him Again?
Jia Yi, who was busy during the day and returned to the apartment late at night, didn't feel tired, but as soon as she entered the door, she saw Aunt Li running towards her in a hurry, and said apologetically: "Jia Yi, you have a friend here, and it's upstairs from you." โ
Jia Yi asked suspiciously, "Friend? Who is it? โ
Aunt Li shook her head: "It seems that I came last time, oops, but the army doesn't know him, it seems that I met him, and I don't want to give him medicine, saying that I will wait for ......"
Jia Yi was a little surprised, and ran upstairs before she had time to listen to Aunt Li's words, and at the stairs on the third and fourth floors, she saw a man squatting on the ground, half of his body was leaning on the door, his head was turned to the side, his eyes were slightly closed, and he looked very wolf, and when he heard the footsteps in the corridor, he began to turn his head slowly: "Jia Yi", he called softly.
Jia Yi was a little surprised, "Qiao Le? Why are you here? She trotted up, but before she had time to hear him answer, she walked over and helped him who was about to stand up: "Aunt Li's dog bit you?" How's it going? โ
But he didn't wait for Jia Yi to get close to him before he struggled to stand up, just looked at her and said, "The dog here is really fierce, how do you get used to it?" โ
She didn't care about what Qiao Le was saying, she just squatted down, rolled up his trouser legs, and the skin on her ankles was indeed broken, as if she had hit something, she frowned, and raised her head to look at Qiao Le: "It's not a bite, right?" โ
Qiao Le looked down at Jia Yi's worried eyes, he was very moved, shook his head and said, "No, it seems to have touched the fence outside." โ
Jia Yi breathed a sigh of relief, immediately got up, knocked on the door of the little girl opposite, and shouted, "Little girl, little girl? โ
The little girl was wearing pajamas, looked curiously at Jia Yi and the strange man in front of her, and asked, "What's the matter, Sister Jia Yi?" โ
"Is there a potion for wounds or something? My friend has a leg injury. Jia Yi looked nervous, and worry could be heard in his tone.
Xiaoya first looked at Qiao Le's bare ankles curiously, and then looked at Jia Yi, then raised her eyebrows at her with a sly smile, and said in a strange tone: "Friend? This made both Jia Yi and Qiao Le embarrassed, but fortunately she quickly took out the potion, and Jia Yi quickly took it and led Qiao Le into the house.
Jia Yi half-knelt on the ground to help Qiao Le deal with the wound, she rarely took care of people so intimately, so her movements were very rusty, and she was a little trembling, she was really afraid that her clumsy hand would hurt the wound, so she lowered her head and said: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of skin, but you may have to suffer in the past few days." โ
Qiao Le sat on the sofa and stared at her, not caring about his wound at all, and even because of this small injury, Jia Yi was so worried about himself, it was too late for him to be happy.
"Why don't you explain it to your neighbors?" He asked.
"Explain what?"
"Our relationship."
Hearing Qiao Le's words, Jia Yi's hand rubbing the potion suddenly stopped, the cotton swab pressed against the wound, Qiao Le felt the pain rushing up from his foot violently, but he still endured it, he knew that Jia Yi was hesitating and thinking, and he was also longing for her hesitation and thinking.
Jia Yi didn't look up, she didn't realize Qiao Le's flushed face at all, and after a long pause, she came back to her senses, took away the cotton swab, and continued to rub the medicine: "Say it's a friend, isn't there anyone who misunderstands?" What you think is someone else's business, just close your eyes and don't care. โ
Qiao Le breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and relieved, and asked again: "You and Gao Qu ...... that day"
"I'm sorry, I didn't know......" She jerked her head up, looked at him and said, "I didn't know it was your phone, he ......"
"It's okay, I know what's going on." He hadn't really been sure what was going on until now, because he had just seen the apology in those sparkling eyes, and that was enough for him.
Jia Yi didn't explain again, she was afraid that the more she explained, the more chaotic it became, so she just lowered her head and rubbed the medicine, and there was a silence between the two of them, but this boundless floating silence seemed to crystallize and become solid, piercing and stinging.
She hurriedly took care of the wound, and when she got up, she asked, "Why are you here?" โ
"I heard you've already bought the store?"
Jia Yi nodded, thinking that Yuanyuan had really told him.
Who knew that Qiao Le asked puzzledly: "How can you be rich?" โ
He was actually worried, but Jiayi sounded more like a question, as if she had always felt that she Liang Jiayi had fled from Beijing to N City with nothing left, although she was down, and now she was still turning the corner and asking his girlfriend to borrow money. But in the eyes of Jia Yi, who is strong in death, the truth is one thing, but it is another thing to say it from Qiao Le's questioning tone.
"I don't have any money, but I've been out there for a few years longer than you, and I can still borrow it." In fact, after saying this, Jia Yi felt extremely ridiculous and pitiful: Hmph, what if she has been mixed up for a few more years, she really doesn't have to use Qiao Le's girlfriend to borrow money, she is really shameless.
Qiao Le stood up, took Jia Yi's hand, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that, you know, I'm worried about you." โ
Again, the sad gaze had nothing to do with the pain at his feet, the depth came from another, deeper gap, which she could not heal, so she could only quickly break away from his hand and leave the room where she felt suffocated by returning the medicine box.
Qiao Le tried to turn around, wanting to grab Jia Yi again, but hurriedly shouted: "Jia Yi, you listen to me." But turning too hard made his ankle, which he had just applied the potion, ache sharply, and he grumbled softly, his brow furrowed at once, and a large knot twisted between his eyebrows.
Jia Yi's potion was not rubbed correctly.
She looked at him with a slightly painful appearance, and she couldn't bear it, but she was even more helpless, and said, "What do you want to say?" โ
Qiao Le saw that Jia Yi finally didn't want to run away from him, so he slowly turned his gaze from the place where he made physical contact with her and said, "Jia Yi, I don't mean anything else. Even if...... Even if we are friends, I should help you. I know what it means to open a store for you, so I'm very supportive of you. You won't let me help with anything else, but I should help with the fundraising, shouldn't I? โ
Jia Yi shook her head and said, "You've helped me a lot. Besides, I think ...... I think I can solve the things I can do alone, you know my character, I don't like to trouble people. โ
"But I'm none other than me, I'm ...... You ......" He was obviously a little anxious, and this number one debater, who was once known as the surprise of the year, would also be anxious and speechless.
She could naturally detect the reason, but the more she did, the more she wanted to close her eyes, "You are my good friend, and like Yuanyuan, I didn't trouble her when I opened a store." โ
"But ......"
She interrupted him again and said, "Qiao Le, I don't want to ruin the current situation, why I moved out in a hurry, you know better than anyone else, don't you?" โ
She was also pleading, begging him to either stop crossing the line without scruples, or return her sunny boy with "Le" in his name.
Fortunately, he didn't speak again.
The chandelier above was blown by the wind outside the window, and the silence floating in the air was stirred up again, and in an instant it was sprinkled with the wind all around, and there was silence everywhere, a suffocating silence, they converged, crystallized, and piled up a transparent and cold wall, separating the two of them.
Qiao Le sighed deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, I know." So is it okay to open a store now? โ
She also eased her tone and said, "Mmmm, it's okay. Tomorrow I also made an appointment with a professional to talk about decoration design. โ
"That's good. "The ......," he looked around, not knowing what to say for a moment, "then...... That's nothing, I'll go back first. โ
"How do you drive like that?" Jia Yi realized that his feet were not comfortable driving.
"It's fine. I drove slowly. โ
"No, I can't. I'll call it for you to rent. โ
Qiao Le didn't stop her, he was clearly aware from just now that he might have fewer and fewer opportunities to feel the care from her in the future, and she would definitely do everything possible to avoid herself and avoid all the memories.
Just let her go, even if it's just to call a taxi, you can take a taxi related to her when you leave her.
After Qiao Le left, Jia Yi immediately collapsed on the sofa, and she realized what it meant to be physically and mentally exhausted.
She closed her eyes, wanting nothing and not wanting anything, but something called memory slowly crawled out of the deepest part of her mind, like a ghost, looking at her, as if she wanted to see through and see through her.
The ball game has entered the finals, and the ribbons that have been flying on Jia Yi's hands for half the time are almost stained on the greasy faces of the classmates next to her.
Finally waiting for the intermission, Jia Yi jumped over the seat and rushed to Qiao Le, who was drinking water. Qiao Le was really frightened, he didn't expect her to be here. She excitedly said to him, "Hey, Jole, I skipped class to watch you play." If you don't win, I'm not going to be worth it. โ
"You're here, I'm trying my best to win, where are you sitting, why don't you sit in front of me, I can interact with you."
Jia Yi knocked Qiao Le with a ribbon: "Mutual heads, I tell you that the most important thing is to win the game." Don't worry, though! I'm sure to shout so much that you feel like there's me all over the stadium! โ
Hahahaha.
The laughter of the two floated over the gymnasium, free and unrestrained.
The second half of the ball game officially began, and Qiao Le still showed the majesty and handsomeness of his yard grass on the court, and Jia Yi did not forget to cheer for him all the time.
The band eventually won, and just as the end of the show was about to end, Joe was looking for Jia Yi in the crowd, and when he couldn't wait to run to her, he tripped and slammed his knee directly into the spectator seat on the side of the court, and fell to his knees on the chair on the spot.
When he was helped up by everyone, Jia Yi appeared, and she couldn't help but joke to him: "You said that you, a player, were not injured because of the game, it's really embarrassing." โ
Qiao Le's face began to turn red again as soon as he got off the scene, and he muttered, "I'm not looking for you yet!" โ
The brothers next to him heard the coaxing, but Jia Yi was about to turn around and leave the crowd.
When Qiao Le wanted to push away the crowd and hurriedly grab her, his hand didn't dare to touch her, and the brothers around him thought he was shy when they saw this, so they shouted one by one: "Qiao Qiu, the king!" They all laughed, took the opportunity to help, and pushed him towards Jiayi.
Qiao Le tried his best to resist, and when he saw that he was about to bump into her, he hurriedly shouted: "Jiayi, get out of the way!" โ
Jia Yi didn't know what was going on and quickly turned away, and when she turned around in surprise, she only saw Qiao Le lying on the ground. Behind him was the laughter of the crowd.
Seeing this wolf bรจi's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.
I saw Qiao Le raise his head, the index finger of his left hand pointing upward, he seemed to be very difficult, and said with a wry smile: "Still laughing?!" You've hurt me! โ
Now, did she hurt him again?
She didn't know that she felt that she had done nothing wrong, but she was wrong in everything, perhaps because she was the first to cross the line and turn around, and whatever it was, it seemed to have nothing to do with the friendship they cherished to each other, and this fact alone was enough to constitute ironclad proof of her guilt.
Thinking so, the ghost of memory, from a few feet away, smiled at her seductively.
