Qin Xiao went upstairs to sleep, and he couldn't figure out what happened at night. He has been dissolute since he was a child, and he doesn't take everything to heart, but since he came back from graduation and entered the society, he can't understand many things. The grievances of the Qin and Zhang families, the experience of their ancestors, and the origin of the dispersion of the Seven Spirits, and even the reason why Xu Shaoqing and Zhai Congying broke up this time, he didn't know any of them.

Since Zhai Congying told him that he wanted to know what was going on with the two of them, he went to ask Xu Shaoqing, so he had to ask Shaoqing clearly. Qin Xiao estimated that Xu Shaoqing must be in Hedong Village, so he went to him in the morning to ask for clarification.

I don't know how long it took, I fell asleep in a daze, but after a while, the sky was bright, and Qin Xiao didn't delay, and immediately drove to Hedong Village.

Su Xiaoman and Ma Xiaoxi did not go home separately except for Meng Fan's bar, but went to Ma Xiaoxi's residence. Su Xiaoman has been living at home since he returned home from graduation, and Ma Xiaoxi has often been on business trips, so he rented a small apartment near his company, and the two went directly to Ma Xiaoxi's residence.

Ma Xiaoxi didn't want to irritate Su Xiaoman too much, but today's incident was really unacceptable, and it was too sudden. Ma Xiaoxi asked Su Xiaoman directly:

"Xiao Man, let me ask you something, you have to tell the truth, okay?"

Su Xiaoman asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ma Xiaoxi didn't go around the bend, and asked directly: "Do you like Qin Xiao?" ”

Su Xiaoman was asked this question all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to answer it, he usually said that he was incompatible with Qin Xiao, but after a long time, he would think about other things, and he wanted to see him very much. Meng Fan also said more than once that when he hated a person and hated it to the point that he was bored with it, he just liked it. At the beginning, she thought that Meng Fan was deliberately making fun of her, but she didn't expect that she really hated him Qin Xiao, but she missed him when she didn't see him.

Ma Xiaoxi saw that Su Xiaoman was silent, and he also understood that ** is not far from ten, so he said mysteriously and slyly:

"Do you know what Meng Fan told me last night?"

Su Xiaoman hurriedly said, "How do I know what Meng Fan will tell you?" What did he say? Is he going to marry you? ”

As soon as Ma Xiaoxi heard that Su Xiaoman was also joking with her in turn, she immediately wanted to clean up Su Xiaoman, and Su Xiaoman had to beg for mercy.

Ma Xiaoxi continued to say mysteriously: "Meng Fan told me that you were drunk a few days ago, so let Qin Xiao carry you into the car......"

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he immediately blushed, but hurriedly said: "I was drunk at that time, I don't care if he is Qin Xiao or Qin Da, of course there is no appearance, what's so funny?" ”

Ma Xiaoxi then deliberately teased: "Really? Does it really matter who hugs you? I also heard Meng Fan say that Qin Xiao kissed you while you were asleep...... And...... I kept watch over you all night in the car......"

Su Xiaoman was even more embarrassed, but he didn't know all of this, but when he heard that Qin Xiao kissed her and guarded herself, he was both happy and shy in his heart.

However, Ma Xiaoxi continued: "But what Qin Xiao did this time is a big surprise." But I don't think Qin Xiao is like this, at least we have always thought that Qin Xiao still likes you, so there may be a reason for him to make a mistake this time...... I want to say, Xiao Man, you can't sit idly by, but you should take the initiative to pull Qin Xiao back from the abyss......"

Suddenly, Ma Xiaoxi pretended to be serious and said, "Comrade Xiaoman, can you complete this arduous task assigned to you by the organization?" ”

When Su Xiaoman heard this, not only did he not fight with Ma Xiaoxi, but instead cried and said:

"I don't know what he thinks, we pinch every time we meet, and to be honest, I hope he can be serious, but if he can change my opinion a little. But every time he has that kind of disdainful look, he can't let me be a girl! He's doing this kind of thing now, and I'm still sticking so tightly to it, so what has become of me? Dare to love as if no one wants it! ”

Ma Xiaoxi couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Su Xiaoman confiding in his heart, but he also sighed helplessly, and finally said solemnly: "This time it's still inconclusive, although Qin Xiao admits it, but he is like this, he doesn't care about anything." But if he Qin Xiao really dares to do something sorry for Xu Shaoqing and you, see how I clean him up! ”

Qin Xiao drove to Hedong Village early in the morning, and there were not many vehicles on the road, so it took less than half an hour to arrive. His grandfather was still at Uncle Jinan's, so he didn't go home, and went directly to Xu Shaoqing's house.

But it's strange to say, Ping is Xu Shaoqing got up and swallowed slowly, when he was in elementary school, he was like this, he waited at his house for a long time, he slowly got up and washed his face and ate, and finally made him almost late for school every time.

And this time it was to Qin Xiao's surprise, Xu's father and Xu's mother actually said that Xu Shaoqing would go fishing by the river in the morning. Qin Xiao thought to himself, it's really strange for more and more months, the two of us have used fishing rods to catch small fish with nets since childhood, and we all use nets to catch small fish, and go into the water to catch big fish, this time he Xu Shaoqing actually pretended to be Sven and caught fish. Isn't this Zhang Fei embroidery? Qin Xiao couldn't help laughing.

Qin Xiao put down the car and went to the river to find Xu Shaoqing, and sure enough, he found Xu Shaoqing at a place where the river turned in the north. Xu Shaoqing was very excited when he saw Qin Xiao at first, and then suddenly became melancholy, Qin Xiao didn't understand the reason, but everything needed to be asked slowly, so he slowly walked to where Xu Shaoqing was sitting, sat down gently, and was about to speak, but Xu Shaoqing signaled that he had a fish to take the bait, don't talk first.

Qin Xiao had no choice but to remain silent and wait for the fish to bite the hook, but there was no movement for a long time. Xu Shaoqing spoke first and said:

"Qin Xiao, do you know what I've learned about fishing these days?"

Of course, Qin Xiao didn't want to listen to Xu Shaoqing talk about his fishing, but he was really surprised about his breakup with Zhai Congying, and felt that there was no reason for them to break up.

"What's the experience?"

Xu Shaoqing didn't even look back, still staring at the water, and then said slowly: "I think we used to catch fish really without level, in fact, the really interesting way to fish is fishing." ”

Qin Xiao asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Xu Shaoqing said: "I took a few days off, and I came home to learn to fish, I suddenly found that fishing has endless fun, compared to the way we fished when we were children, it is simply not the same, the way we fished when we were children is simply undegradable." ”

Qin Xiao then asked suspiciously: "You have to give a good reason, if you don't just say that fishing is fun, what's the use of elegance?" This is Qin Xiao's deliberate words to test Xu Shaoqing.

Xu Shaoqing smiled: "Okay, in fact, I used to think that fishing is just a way to catch fish, nothing special, I see those fishing people always say 'different', I also think that they are pretentious, self-assured and high, but then gradually found out that they are right, but they can appreciate the fun of fishing, but they can't describe it to others." ”

Qin Xiao suddenly felt that Xu Shaoqing's words were in his words, and then asked, "Can you describe it?" ”

Xu Shaoqing said: "I can't describe it, try it." So Xu Shaoqing pulled on the fishing line, rechecked the hook, and threw the hook into the water again, and continued motionlessly:

"Actually, Qin Xiao, look at our various fishing methods, which fish is the biggest?"

"Of course, it is a large fishing boat that goes out to sea, and they can even catch giant whale sharks of several tons or even dozens of tons." Qin Xiao replied.

"Yes, so tell me, when you're fishing? Which tool uses the least number of people and has the fewest tools? ”

"It's hard to say, because there are also people who fish empty-handed, so it's hard to say." Qin Xiao continued to reply without thinking.

Xu Shaoqing then said lightly: "So what about a comparison between the two?" The maximum weight of fish that can be caught by a person with a certain tool is compared to the weight of the tool used by the person and the fisherman, so which type of fishing is the largest from this ratio? ”

Qin Xiao suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "You mean to say that in this way of fishing, only one person is used, and the weight of the fishing rod can almost be ignored, but you can catch fish that are much heavier and stronger than the weight of the angler himself, right?" ”

Xu Shaoqing's eyes suddenly had a glimmer of brilliance, and he said, "Ah! As he spoke, a fish was lifted out of the water at once, and he unhurriedly removed the hook and put it into the bucket that had been prepared.

Qin Xiao said: "You are very right, I have seen some fishing masters use a fishing rod to catch a shark weighing nearly one ton, and for a fishing boat of hundreds of tons, catching a fish even a few dozen tons is only relying on their own brute strength, as for catching fish with bare hands, those fish in the fishing net are even smaller and pitiful, and compared with their strong bodies, tight and strong fishing nets, they are even more insignificant." And only fishing, but it can be the maximum potential of human beings, do you mean that? ”

Xu Shaoqing turned around, nodded with a smile, and said approvingly: "Qin Xiao, I don't have to work hard to talk to you." ”

Qin Xiao waited for Xu Shaoqing to turn around and found that he had lost a lot of weight these days, and his face was haggard, but when he heard what he wanted, his eyes flashed with light.

Xu Shaoqing said while cleaning up his things: "I have been sleeping and fishing at home for the past few days, and I don't have a regular schedule, but I have also figured out this matter, that is, if we fight with a big fish alone, especially in the water where they live, let alone fishing, it is fortunate that this big fish does not eat us as a snack." But if you are an angler, and you face it with your extraordinary skills and a steady mentality, and deal with it with the right attitude, then the position of strength and weakness will also change. ”

Xu Shaoqing also sat down after being busy, and continued: "Just imagine, there are so many fishing masters in the world, if you put them in the water, it is estimated that those carnivorous fish will swallow him, but if you give him a fishing rod, he can let them ask for oh, hook, and then calmly deal with them, playing with them between a silk thread, isn't this the thinking of a superb master?" ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help but feel that the truth was intriguing, but it still couldn't ask why Xu Shaoqing broke up with Zhai Congying these days.

Xu Shaoqing didn't wait for Qin Xiao to speak, and immediately said, "I also slowly learned it in this daily fishing. When we really encounter a vicious big fish that can eat ourselves, we should change our thinking, think of ourselves as an angler, and use a silk thread to tempt it, let it bite the hook, and then walk it until it is exhausted, and then overcome it and make it obedient! ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help but be impressed by Xu Shaoqing's words, but he also suddenly realized that Xu Shaoqing's words had a deep meaning. Qin Xiao realized that he and Zhai Congying must also encounter an invincible "big fish" like he said, and Xu Shaoqing had to become an angler, at the cost of leaving Zhai Congying and using his weak but powerful silk thread to defeat the vicious big fish! If this is the case, then Qin Xiao feels that he should still be relieved, although he can't figure out the exact reason, but it is also a relief to see Xu Shaoqing become so mature from his own experience during this time.

Xu Shaoqing saw that Qin Xiao was silent, so he asked directly: "Is the purpose of your coming here to ask me about Zhai Congying?" ”

Qin Xiao didn't hide it and nodded.

Xu Shaoqing said: "I won't go around the bend with you, we have broken up." And there is no possibility of reuniting. Xu Shaoqing couldn't help but burst into tears.

Qin Xiao saw that Xu Shaoqing still loved Zhai Congying deeply, and his concern for her had not changed at all, but he couldn't go to her at home for various unknown reasons.

Qin Xiao also felt a lot of emotion when he heard what Xu Shaoqing said before, and then he also told Xu Shaoqing what happened last night. even said how Zhai Congying mistook himself for Xu Shaoqing and hugged him, and then opened the bathroom door and saw himself taking a shower.

Xu Shaoqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Hehe, I don't think you will take this matter to heart." But let me ask you, do you like Su Xiaoman? Tell me the truth. ”

Qin Xiao didn't know what Xu Shaoqing meant by asking, he felt that he had inadvertently been involved in the matter between him and Zhai Congying, so how could he still have Su Xiaoman involved. So Qin Xiao said:

"Shaoqing, don't ask me about Su Xiaoman, I'm unemployed at home now, and my grandfather is not in good health, you also grew up in Hedong Village, you should know that our family and the Zhang family have a lot of things, but I haven't been able to understand it until now, let alone solve it. So, I don't want to like anyone, let alone love anyone, at least I don't want to delay others because of these things. ”

Xu Shaoqing said with a smile: "I understand, but you misunderstood what I meant, I mean, I have no chance with Congying in my life, as long as it does not affect the relationship between you and Su Xiaoman, you can help me take care of Congying, even if it is ......" Xu Shaoqing actually wanted to say that even if you are with Zhai Congying in the end, I will be happy to bless you, but Qin Xiao never said whether he liked Su Xiaoman in his heart or not, and said this, a little disrespectful to Zhai Congying, so he didn't say it. So he continued:

"Forget it, especially during this time, I haven't heard from her, you help me take care of her for a while, help her get through this painful time, and I don't know how she is now, whether she still hates me."

Qin Xiao couldn't hear the meaning of Xu Shaoqing's words, but since he didn't say it explicitly, he couldn't break it, so he said: "I know, I know that you still think about her, I'll help you take care of her during this time, and I'll tell you something." Then I won't go back with you, I'll go back to the county seat first. ”

Xu Shaoqing nodded, loaded the bait, and threw the hook out again. Qin Xiao walked a few steps, turned around and suddenly asked, "Shaoqing, don't you really want to tell me what's going on?" ”

Xu Shaoqing was silent, thinking, what would happen if Qin Xiao found out? Will he be angry or sad or something else...... Xu Shaoqing gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and speak, but Qin Xiao saw that Xu Shaoqing ignored his question for a long time, thinking that it seemed that Shaoqing would not say anything about this situation, so he turned around and walked towards the village stupidly.

And Xu Shaoqing saw that Qin Xiao had turned back, and the decision he had just made suddenly lost his motivation, and he turned his head again, looking at the little ripples of his fishing line splashing on the surface of the water, without making any movement.

At this time, Zhai Congying completely woke up from last night's drunkenness. It's already morning, and I'm back in reality, still alone, and I don't see Xu Shaoqing's shadow. Thinking about the sudden blow in the past few days, she really can't bear it, she hasn't gone to work for several days, she closes her eyes every day, it is Xu Shaoqing's voice and smile, even if she wakes up, she can't get rid of it, but no matter how she calls, Xu Shaoqing always turns off her phone, but she really can't go to Hedong Village to find him, because she can't let Xu Shaoqing's parents know the reason for the breakup.

When she was really helpless, Zhai Congying suddenly remembered Qin Xiaolai, who sent her back last night and left in the early morning, he was Xu Shaoqing's best friend, if he asked him for help, maybe he would be able to find Xu Shaoqing, at least he could see him for the last time and make the final decision. Arriving here first, Zhai Congying immediately came to his senses, hurriedly got up and finished washing, put on his clothes, made up his makeup, and drove to the bar to find Qin Xiao.

Zhai Congying knew that Qin Xiao was unemployed and temporarily lived with Meng Fan, and he only left his dormitory in the early hours of this morning, so it stands to reason that Qin Xiao should be found in the bar, and it is a big deal to wake him up and prevent him from sleeping. But to Zhai Congying's surprise, Zhai Congying entered the bar, and when he asked Meng Fan, he actually said that Qin Xiao was not there.

Of course Zhai Congying wouldn't believe it, thinking that Meng Fan was lying to herself, so she ignored Meng Fan's obstruction, and rushed to the bedroom on the second floor at once, and found that Qin Xiao was really not there. This made Zhai Congying feel very surprised, and thought, Qin Xiao, this kid didn't sleep in the middle of the night, what did he do in the morning? Then he also came downstairs, Meng Fan also followed, and when he left, Zhai Congying also told Meng Fan that he would come to Qin Xiao again at night and ask him to wait and not go out.

Meng Fan hadn't slept all night, and was about to go to bed, when he saw Zhai Congying coming, and it wasn't the trance-like look he had last night, but he was full of energy, and he also put on light makeup, and looked for Qin Xiao when he entered the door. Meng Fan told him that Qin Xiao went out early in the morning and didn't say anything. And when Zhai Congying left, he said that he asked Qin Xiao to wait for him at night and find him something, Meng Fan was even more suspicious that Qin Xiao really didn't do anything last night.

And judging from Zhai Congying's appearance, Meng Fan seems to be not caring about Xu Shaoqing at all now, but never leaving Qin Xiao, and suddenly feels that even if Xu Shaoqing and Zhai Congying have broken up, Qin Xiao, you will take over too quickly, at least you have to take care of the big guy's psychological tolerance for the impact of the plot.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Meng Fan also answered Zhai Congying's words coldly, and from time to time showed a look of disdain. Zhai Congying Bingxue could have seen it, but now she only thought that in order to find Xu Shaoqing, she had to find Qin Xiao first, so she didn't care about Meng Fan's abnormal behavior.
