watched TV with April for a while, because he had something in his heart, Xia Bai didn't put his mind on TV, just thinking about the wording, to see how to talk to April about the encounter without being too deliberate.

She has no opinion on Qi Yuren, and in just a few moments, she only feels that the other party is a bit of a philistine but not capable enough. As for cheating, it can only be said that you can't resist beauty, you can't be determined enough, you can't rise to a personality problem, and you can't arbitrarily judge that the other party has no sense of responsibility.

She doesn't think there's anything wrong with matching April to get back together with him, it seems that Qi Yu doesn't dislike April, and the relationship between them for more than two years can't be said to be thrown away. Zero and zero are always added together, and they are quite suitable together.

With that in mind, she took a sip of tea to moisten her throat. Licking her lips, when she felt less dry, she opened her mouth and said slowly: "April, I went back just now and saw Qi Yu." ”

"Hmm." April still kept her eyes on the video, not blinking.

"He asked me to give you a word." Xia Bai carefully observed her face and said in a relaxed tone.

April lifted the remote control and changed the station, and slowly followed her words and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Xia Bai saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and his words couldn't help but have a hint of imperceptible eagerness, "He said that the person named Qin Qin was not pregnant, he lied to him, and he also said that he was wrong, and he will definitely treat you well in the future." ”

After a pause as she pressed the hand on the remote control, April slowly lowered her head, and from Xia Bai's angle, she couldn't see her expression at this time. Xia Bai couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart, secretly blaming himself for being too anxious, and said gently and softly: "He said, he is waiting for you to come back." ”

April was silent for a moment, then turned off the TV with a snap. Without the loud voices of the TV show, the empty living room suddenly fell silent, as if the whole world was just the two of them.

"April." Sensitively sensing that something was wrong in April, Xia Bai couldn't help but gently pull her hand and call her softly.

The woman let go of the remote control she was clenching in her hand and slowly lifted her face, the shadows dissipated instantly, and the light illuminated her white face.

"Xia Bai, do you think I should forgive him?"

The woman's voice was a little erratic.

Xia Bai said this at the beginning so that April could go back, but when April really threw this question to herself, she didn't know how to reply. I always feel that everything is wrong, thinking in my heart is one thing, but saying it is another. She was silent, took another sip of tea in disguise, and replied, "April, as long as you are happy, it is enough." I ...... what you want to do Support you. ”

When April heard this, he smiled faintly, his eyes looked into the distance, and he seemed to have crossed the track of time and returned to the beginning.

You, she opened her mouth, "At that time, I was desperate, and it was Ah Yu's parents who helped me." ”

Xia Bai's hands holding the teacup paused slightly, and she turned her head sideways to look at April with a calm face, she knew that April was telling her what was on her mind.

"I've always been grateful to them, so I've been working hard under them and want to repay them. At that time, I met Ah Yu-" Speaking of this, April paused, and his expression seemed a little helpless.

"Ah Yu didn't like me very much at first, and always used all kinds of childish means to target me. I remember one time, when his parents were not at home, he deliberately changed my key, and when I went back, I couldn't open the door no matter how much I tried. It was raining so hard that I didn't bring an umbrella and wore a thin coat. I thought I was going to wait outside all night, but in the middle of the night, he dragged his slippers downstairs and took me back. ”

Xia Bai didn't know these things, so she listened very carefully, and when she saw that April stopped, she gently expressed her opinion, "It's really bad to meet him." ”

"Huh." April seemed to think of something, and her eyebrows softened, "I knew that he was secretly watching me by the window, probably because he saw that I was too pitiful, so he found out in his conscience and opened the door for me." It was also on that occasion that I made a habit of leaving a spare key at the door in case I couldn't get home. ”

"April ......" Xia Bai remembered the key she said when she helped her get the necklace, perhaps, it was the after-effects left after that incident. In fact, she doesn't need to think about it too much, she can know that April must have suffered a lot.

"Later, after this incident, Ah Yu stopped targeting me, just ignored me. During that time, I was much better off than before, and maybe, without that incident, I would have stayed there and worked, and Ah Yu was able to marry his girlfriend. April fantasized about what might happen, and her eyes were full of yearning.

"April, you ......" she opened her mouth to comfort her, but her heart had long been occupied by greed and jealousy, and how could she really comfort her.

"After Ah Yu's parents were killed, he followed me to this city. He hadn't suffered much in his life, but he could grit his teeth and squeeze into the basement or sleep in the park with me. Don't look at him as naïve, he can't pull back the nine cows if he launches a ruthless attack. We have relied on each other to get to where we are today. It seems that being together is also logical, he said that he liked me, and I accepted it, and this time it was two years. ”

"Then why don't you give him a chance?" This sentence buried in her heart, she blurted out.

April listened attentively, silently receiving the meaning of Xia Bai's words. After a pause, she recounted: "I always thought that Ah Yu needed me, so I wanted to accompany him, which can be regarded as repaying his parents' kindness to me. But—"

She paused, and slowly lowered her head to stare at her calf, "Actually, I can't live without him, and I've been enjoying his needs for me, like absorbing nutrients that can sustain my life." I'm afraid of being alone, so no matter who it is, even if that person is not Ah Yu, as long as someone needs me, I am willing to accompany him. Is this a pathology? ”

April said it with a smile, and although there was no sad expression on her face, Xia Bai could feel the heavy powerlessness and sadness coming from her.

It was condensed in nearly thirty years of life, and it was engraved in the bones of resignation and compromise.

"Actually, when I knew about Qin Qin's cun, I still wanted to catch Ah Yu and tie him to me. After all...... "He is the only warmth around me."

"Xia Bai, you don't understand, why Ah Yu is with Qin Qin, that's my reason. If I can't open my heart and accept him, this problem will always be there. So, that's why I'm going to let it go. ”

Although April didn't speak clearly, Xia Bai still roughly understood the meaning of her words. The mood is a little heavy, I don't know if it's for her or for myself.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Gu Qingyan's hoarse voice suddenly came from the living room, Xia Bai was stunned, he didn't know when Gu Qingyan came and how long he had been standing here. After all, the study is some distance from here, and it is impossible not to make a sound at all.

April looked over calmly, and the man stood in the dark shadow around the corner of the corridor, the warm light shining on his face, generally dark and bright, forming two extremes. I have been sitting for a long time, and my white shirt and chin are a little wrinkled, but I am not as meticulous as usual. From April's angle, I could only see his gray eyes, faint, silent and silent looking at her.

"I'm going to sleep soon." April quietly avoided the man's gaze. She's been waiting here because he hasn't slept yet. I always feel that if the owner does not rest and sleeps first, it will be a little rude.

"Hmm. I'm also a little tired. Gu Qingyan took a step and walked out of the shadows, the light lingering on his face lovingly, clearly showing the thick fatigue between his eyebrows. As he walked, he removed the glasses that were clipped to his nose and pressed the tip of his nose with his hand.

When he sat down on the sofa opposite them, Xia Bai got up peacefully and walked behind him. The slender and soft fingertips gently rested on the corners of his forehead, skillfully rubbing his temples, and with gentle movements, the woman's soft voice sounded as if to hypnotize, "Don't work so late next time, pay attention to rest." ”

"It's okay, it's just to deal with some urgent texts." The man's tone was faint.

Xia Bai didn't say anything more, she never asked about things at work, because he didn't like it. was helping him massage with peace of mind, coldly, Gu Qingyan opened his mouth, but the words were said to April: "Go to sleep, you have just seen the room." ”

The woman answered, got up slowly, and limped towards the guest bedroom. She was very peaceful, her eyes did not wander, and she was afraid of disturbing Xia Bai's time with him.

Quietly watching the woman's figure disappear around the corner, he slowly withdrew his gaze. After being silent for a long time, he suddenly said without a head or a tail: "In the future, don't mention Qi Yu in front of her." ”

When Xia Bai heard this, his hand shook, and his nails accidentally inserted into the man's forehead. Gu Qingyan frowned, and said unhurriedly, "You hurt me." "His voice is hoarse, with his unique tone, listening to her ears, it is not so much complaining as coquettishness.

She relaxed the movements in her hand and said softly: "I'll help you massage for a while, and when you feel sleepy, you will sue me." ”

"Hmm." The man slowly closed his eyes.

***

April slept until midnight when he was awakened by a pain in his legs. When he opened his eyes, in the darkness, there was a vague figure, and the wound on his leg was probably accidentally pressed by him. April's heart skipped a beat, and she swallowed the exclamation she almost blurted out, as she smelled the faint unknown scent of the visitor.

This fragrance is unique, mixing the fragrance of soaphorn with the scent of cigarettes, and there is a kind of contradictory harmony. She moved to the side with some uneasiness, and the man seemed to notice it and stopped her in a loud voice, "Don't move." ”

His words were slurred, and he seemed to be asleep.

April was clouded, and the only fragment that flashed through my mind was sleepwalking. It is said that sleepwalkers cannot wake him up, or he will die. I don't know who spread this exaggerated legend, but April didn't dare to take it lightly, and couldn't help but slowly hold his breath.

Gu Qingyan just moved his body slightly, leaned sideways slightly, and gently encircled April into his arms in a hugging gesture. The faint sound of breathing slowly sounded on April's forehead, and she felt a little itchy, but she didn't dare to move, so she could only stiffen her body and open her eyes wide.

In the dark, the man's face was not very clear, and April could only roll his eyes to roughly judge the position of his facial features.

First the forehead, then the eyes, nose, and finally the lips. The impeccable contours of his facial features make him unique.

I haven't seen him for ten years, and he has less of the youth of his youth, and more of the stability of a mature man. She has always believed that he is so good that one day he will be able to walk on the pyramid of life. Finally, he succeeded, got rid of the nightmare of the past, and transformed into a soaring eagle.

Her heart was full, some joyful, some satisfied. She only dared to look at him quietly in the dark, with a gaze that was never useful.
