As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of stagnation in the air.

Xiao Li was the first to react, sat up straight, glanced at Xia Bai very quickly, and then lazily hung up a smile, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously: "What, are you going to her wedding?" He knew that when he was in middle school, Gu Qingyan didn't treat April very well. When did he become so concerned about April?

What's more, when Gu Qingyan asked this question, there was no smile on his face, and he didn't look like he wanted to bless.

April smiled reluctantly, and just as he was about to speak, his phone rang. She nodded apologetically to the crowd, picked up her phone and walked out. After walking for a short distance, I picked up the phone, and Ah Yu's voice came into my ears.

"April, when are you coming back?"

April lowered her voice, "It's coming." ”

"Oh, the renovation workers have left work and the flooring in the house has been laid. I'm cleaning now, you come back and take a look, the house looks much better than it used to be, and there are ......" Ah Yu Xianbao chattered with her.

April listened attentively, curled the corners of her mouth, and a few smiles appeared in her eyes, "Hmm." ”

"The landlord has a lot of eyes, and after you left, he came to check on him a few more times, for fear that we would break his house. Cut, I don't want to think about it, we paid him for free to lay the floor, is he making good money. I looked at him and scared him with my fists, and he walked away, haha. ”

Listening to Ah Yu's happy laughter on the phone, her love was driven by him, and the smile on her face deepened.

After saying a lot of nonsense, the man's voice changed and he muttered pitifully: "April, I'm hungry." ”

April finally couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Then you don't go out to eat?" ”

"I don't want it, the food outside is as delicious as what you cook, I just want to eat the food you cook." Qi Yu child has a temper attack.

"Okay, okay, I'll be back soon, you eat a bread mat to cushion your hunger first." After a few words of relief in her soft voice, Qi Yu was satisfied, and snorted into the phone a little insensitively. April couldn't stand it and couldn't hold back a laugh, and said goodbye to him before hanging up the phone.

I really should go back, April thought so, and planned to go back and talk to Xiao Li.

"What's so good about laughing?" In the dimly lit corridor, an indifferent and mocking male voice sounded.

April looked back and found a figure leaning against the wall not far from her. She was stunned, she didn't know when Gu Qingyan came out, if it wasn't for him speaking out, she wouldn't have noticed him at all.

The man leaned lazily against the wall, a cigarette in his mouth, and as the stars went out, he flicked his fingertips, and fine pieces of soot scattered into the air. Seeing April coming, he tore out an incomprehensible smile, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and threw it into the trash can by the wall. After waiting for a while, he didn't see any movement from the woman, his eyes darkened, and his steps were like a cat, and there was a trace of undercurrent hidden in his silence.

Leaning closer, April smelled the faint smell of alcohol on him. In my impression, he only touched boiled water just now, could it be the wine she drank when she came out? A trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, she turned sideways, pulled away a little, and whispered: "My family just called, I'm going back first." ”

Gu Qingyan listened, his eyes were cold, and he took a few steps forward, almost trapping April between his arms, and from a distance, he seemed to embrace April into his arms.

"Family?" He smiled playfully, his tone turned cold, and harsh words spat out from his thin lips, "Just that gambling man in your family, April, your vision is really bad." No, no, it should be said that you only deserve a man like that. ”

The breath was a cold breath unique to a man, April endured it, reached out and pushed him away, took a deep breath, turned to look at him, and stated without emotion: "The other person is fine, I should go back too." With that, she walked past him.

"Lin April." Gu Qingyan stopped her behind her, and seeing the woman stop in front of him, he slowed down and reminded slowly: "Don't forget, you promised to do one thing for me." ”

April tilted his ears and listened intently, but the man did not speak again.

She stood where she stood and waited, and after a long time, a man's sigh came from behind her: "That promise is too precious, I don't know what to use it for." This sentence was almost ambiguous, April narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips, and his eyes were quietly silent, "I haven't forgotten, and, thank you." "Thank you for letting Ah Yu go, thank you for not pursuing the past.

But he didn't want her gratitude at all.

"Huh." A low and hoarse laugh vibrated in his throat, and the man laughed inexplicably, and when he had laughed enough, he still stood in place, and did not take the initiative to step forward, three meters away from April. Just as they once were, they kept their distance from each other and not far away.

Looking at her side face with dark eyes, he restrained his smile, and said with a dark expression: "Lin April, you have always owed me an explanation, back then, why did you do that?" Is it just for the money? ”

April was silent, for a long time, and said three words, "I'm sorry." Seems to be the default.

All along, the most she said was sorry and thank you, but that wasn't the answer he wanted. Or rather, he wasn't satisfied with such an answer. For so many years, this question has been hovering in his heart, and the more time passes, the more profound it becomes, and it has become a scar in his heart.

After a long time, the man gave this sentence: "Lin April, I won't tolerate your happiness." This sentence is not so much a warning as a blessing. April listened, a faint bitterness spread in her heart, she didn't say anything, took another step and pushed the door in.

Entering the box, April told Xiao Li that he wanted to go home, Xiao Li was not reluctant, and readily agreed. As a bride, there are always a lot of things to deal with. He offered to drop her off, but April refused, citing that he was drunk and couldn't drive.

Xiao Li is not a persistent person, he only told her to be careful on the road, and said that when the time comes, he will take time to attend the wedding, and he will give her a big red envelope. April smiled politely and chatted with them a few more times before getting up to take his leave.

When she pushed the door out, Xia Bai caught up with her, "April, this is a little bit of my heart, I won't go then, I happened to have something to do on your wedding day, and I couldn't pull away." As she spoke, she shoved a delicately packaged jewelry box into her hand.

The box is hollow and carved, the appearance is elegant and noble, April only glanced at it, and knew that the jewelry inside was worth a lot of money, and repeatedly excused himself.

Xia Bai was also very stubborn, and said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, when I came here today, I just went to the brand store to pick up this pre-customized diamond necklace, and I met your big happy event." I can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, if you don't accept it, you won't recognize me as a friend. ”

"It's too expensive for me to want." April shook his hand again and again, but refused to accept it.

After refusing this time, Xia Bai's face was a little unsightly, his eyes were cold, and there was a touch of ruthlessness in his eyes, "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away." Anyway, I won't want anything that other people don't want. ”

When she said this, Haobai's wrist bent slightly, and she made a delivery motion, obviously doing what she said. April was startled, hurriedly snatched it from her hand, and scolded her: "Are you crazy? ”

Xia Bai shrugged his shoulders and smiled again: "Then you accepted it, you can't regret accepting it." ”

April looked at the box in his hand, and only felt that there was a thousand pounds in his hand, and his heart was heavy. She barely cheered up and smiled at Xia Bai: "Thank you for the gift." ”

"You're welcome, that's what I'm supposed to do, after all, ten years ago, we were best friends." Xia Bai said this with an innocent face.

Since the reunion, every time they meet, Xia Bai will intentionally or unintentionally mention that they are best friends, and if they talk too much, they will become a thorn in April's heart, and it will take root. She knew that there was ...... between them

They all pretended not to know, and never mentioned what happened in the past. But there are some things that happen that years can't cover up.

Because she had valuable jewelry around her, she didn't worry about taking the bus, so she took a taxi back.

When he got home, Qi Yu was stir-frying vegetables in full swing, and April put down his bag and walked towards the kitchen, where the smoke was billowing and choking. She hurriedly drove Qi Yu out, and opened the window by the way to allow air to circulate. While stir-frying, she picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and tasted it, as expected, it was really hard to eat, and it was a little burnt. She had to add some more condiments to try to remedy the situation so that the dish would not be so difficult to swallow.

After stir-frying the braised pork, she looked at the cut eggplant on the cutting board and made a stewed eggplant in oil. After a qiē was processed, she beckoned Qi Yu to come over and serve the meal.

Knowing that he was in trouble, Qi Yu followed her like a little daughter-in-law, and April shoved Sheng Cai into his arms and glanced at him, "Didn't you say that you would wait for me to come back to cook?" ”

Qi Yu smiled embarrassedly: "I'm not hungry." ”

"Then you can go out to eat." April helpless.

On the small dining table where all the dishes were served, Qi Yu was holding a bowl of gobbling up rice, and said while eating: "It's all gutter oil outside, it's not healthy."

April sat on the side and watched him eat, and reminded softly: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." With that, he got up and poured him a glass of water.

Qi Yu took a big sip before slowing down the speed of eating, and said while eating: "My family used to open a restaurant, and I know the methods and steps of cooking, but I really follow the steps in my memory, why is the taste different from what I imagined?" He wrinkled in annoyance.

April was surprised, "You just know what theory is for, practice makes true knowledge, and when it comes to cooking, you are a layman." ”
