Hua Wen quickly pulled Qiao Jinghui back to the dining table, and after a while, Cai Hefeng came to call, Qiao Jinghui hesitated for a moment but quickly picked it up.

"Where are you? You haven't texted me yet. ”

"Oh, I forgot."

Then Qiao Jinghui told him the address, and Qiao's mother began to criticize her again: "I told you to go to the appointment, but you haven't even told the people about the place." ”

Qiao Jinghui smiled embarrassedly, she was in a daze on the road before, how can she remember the text message.

It is estimated that the hospital is not far from here, and Cai Hefeng will arrive in about ten minutes.

As soon as he appeared at the door, Qiao Jinghui stood up, and when she turned around, she saw that the three people at the table were all looking at her strangely, so she had to explain: "I'll go to the waiter and ask for a stool." ”

It happened that the waiter was at the door, Qiao Jinghui went over and received Cai Hefeng by the way, Cai Hefeng saw that her expression was wrong, and thought of the previous phone call, so he took the initiative to say: "Did you hear Tan Yangcheng's voice on the phone?" ”

Qiao Jinghui thought about it and nodded honestly.

Cai Hefeng's nervous expression eased slightly, even if there was a big misunderstanding, as long as she was willing to admit the existence of the misunderstanding and listen to his explanation, then everything would not be a problem. I'm most afraid of the kind of misunderstanding that is obviously a trivial matter, but wants to make a big fuss and make a big mistake, and ignore other people's explanations from beginning to end.

Fortunately, Qiao Jinghui is not such a paranoid person.

"Let's eat first, and then I'll explain it to you."

Qiao Jinghui looked at his unflinching firm eyes, looked away, and said indifferently: "Oh." ”

Originally, the seats were two or two pairs, but because it was five people, a bench had to be added on the side of the corridor, and Qiao Jinghui, who was originally in a bad mood, was ready to sit outside by herself, and let Cai Hefeng and Hua Wen sit on the same side.

Hua Wen thought to herself that there was nothing to do here, and it was already very inappropriate for her to occupy a seat, and now she asked Qiao Jinghui to sit outside, she would say that she would not do anything.

As a result, Cai Hefeng took the bench handed over by the waiter, occupied it by himself, and bent down to greet Qiao's father and Qiao's mother: "Uncle Qiao, Aunt Qiao!" ”

Dad Qiao looked Cai Hefeng up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and nodded secretly in his heart, while Mama Qiao was attracted by his appearance, thinking that this kid's appearance was not inferior to Hongchen at all! And if the skin is white and tall, the child's genes will be very good in the future.

After sitting down, Cai Hefeng took the menu and asked Qiao's father and Qiao's mother if they had any favorite dishes, saying that he had eaten this restaurant a few years ago, but he had almost forgotten the taste.

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother said to let him order, Cai Hefeng was suddenly a little embarrassed, is this the first test for him? It's a pity that he hasn't come into contact with these two elders, and he admits that he does lag behind Hong Chen in this regard, but he will try.

So he picked two dishes and asked the second elder if he liked it, Qiao's father nodded and said yes, Qiao's mother had no opinion, Cai Hefeng breathed a sigh of relief, and then handed the menu to Qiao Jinghui and Hua Wen, and said, "You two see what else you want to eat, order." ”

Qiao Jinghui took the menu, leaned slightly on Hua Wen's shoulder, the two studied for a while, selected two dishes and one soup, and finally gave the waiter four dishes and one soup.

Qiao Jinghui's family doesn't pay attention to anything "food is not talking", when eating, it should be said or spoken, but today's meal, most of the time Qiao's father and Qiao's mother are asking questions, Cai Hefeng and Hua Wen are answering, Qiao Jinghui sits quietly, like a bystander. However, she quietly observed Cai Hefeng's eating appearance, and she didn't seem to have a strong sense of crampedness, how she usually eats today.

After eating a meal, Cai Hefeng went to pay the bill as a matter of course, and Qiao's father and Qiao's mother also had a rough definition of Cai Hefeng in their hearts through a bunch of questions.

Cai Hefeng proposed: "Are your uncles and aunts going to the movies?" It just so happens that there is a cinema near here, and the environment is not bad, and it is one of the best movie theaters in City C. ”

Qiao's father doesn't like to go to the cinema to watch movies, so Qiao's mother often goes to watch them with friends or Qiao Jinghui, but Qiao's father doesn't mind going to the theater to take a nap for a while.

Cai Hefeng and Hua Wen went to the garage to pick up the car, and Qiao Jinghui accompanied Qiao's father and Qiao's mother to wait at the door.

Finding their respective cars, Hua Wen glanced at him, and suddenly said, "You'd better explain to Hui about being late today." ”

Cai Hefeng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What did she tell you?" Although things seem very simple to him, the speaker has no intention of listening, and it is inevitable that Qiao Jinghui will think more.

"She didn't say anything, I told her, be sure to listen to your explanation, don't think too much about it yet."

"I didn't expect you to help me speak," Cai Hefeng smiled, "I told her, and I'll explain to her later." ”

Hua Wen twisted her head and walked to her car, and said coldly: "I'm just seeking truth from facts, I don't want her to bias her future because of a misunderstanding." ”

"So you agree that I will be a better fit for her than Hongchen?"

"You think too much, you or Hong Chen, it's the same for me, although you used to be my team leader, but-" Hua Wen stopped the action of opening the door and looked at Cai Hefeng, "Since she has to choose one of you, then I hope she will make a decision after fully understanding your whole person, rather than being impulsive because of some misunderstanding or something." ”

The two cars came out almost chasing their butts, Hua Wen's red sports car was the first to appear, and Cai Hefeng's black sedan followed, Cai Hefeng opened the window and said: "Uncle and aunt take my car, it should be more appropriate to have a higher seat and more space." ”

Qiao Jinghui didn't want to share a car with him originally, but what about a good explanation? Didn't he think he wouldn't be able to explain it to her on the way? Or is the so-called explanation just talking?

Qiao's father and Qiao's mother happily got into Cai Hefeng's car, Qiao Jinghui didn't say anything, turned around and got into Hua Wen's car.

"Do you mind the afternoon?"

Hua Wen looked at Qiao Jinghui in the rearview mirror, Qiao Jinghui hesitated but nodded.

"Why?"

"Even if there is no emotional foundation, I still hope that everyone can be honest and loyal to each other, which is a serious attitude towards marriage, I am like this, so relatively, I also hope that he is like this." Qiao Jinghui paused and said, "Of course, if things in the afternoon really go as I thought, I won't be harsh anymore, because I will give up his choice." ”

Even if she likes it, even if she loves, she is not sloppy about her marriage, he can not love her, but he can't help but attach importance to their marriage.

Who would like their husband to be an inappropriate person.

Qiao Jinghui can persevere, can be paranoid, and can persevere, but she will never put herself in a position lower than the dust, which should also be a personal quality that everyone who likes others should have.

No one likes dust.

When he arrived at the cinema, Cai Hefeng said: "Uncle and aunt will sit here with Hua Wen for a while, and I will go with Jing'er to buy tickets and buy some drinks." ”

Qiao Jinghui was stunned, he just called her "Jing'er"!

As soon as Cai Hefeng saw Qiao Jinghui and Hua Wen's reactions, he immediately understood why Hong Chen stubbornly called Qiao Jinghui "Hui Hui", and Hua Wen always called Qiao Jinghui "Hui" - when you like someone very much, you want you to be special to her, and in order to show that she is also special in your heart, you will want to give her a unique title.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "term of endearment".

Hua Wen was also stunned, she seemed to have never heard what Cai Hefeng called Qiao Jinghui, glanced at Qiao Jinghui with a look of unresponsiveness, and wondered if he deliberately shouted so intimately in front of Qiao's father and Qiao's mother, so she poked Qiao Jinghui and said, "Go quickly, come back early, we will sit here and wait for you." ”

knew that he was looking for an opportunity to explain to Qiao Jinghui, so Hua Wen didn't stop him more.

Qiao Jinghui followed him.

"Tan Yangcheng stood next to me while waiting for the elevator and answered the phone and said that her brother had been in a car accident and was in a hurry, so I drove her to the hospital."

What the? What's the situation? Don't give any foreshadowing, just explain it?

Qiao Jinghui was really stunned, and replied stupidly: "Oh." ”

Cai Hefeng lowered his head and smiled at her: "I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry to listen to me and think that I am verbose, so I thought about it all the way and streamed it down to such a sentence, you can't not understand it, right?" ”

"No, it's just that you came too steeply, and I didn't react for a while"

You're too cute, Cai Hefeng couldn't help but purse his lips and smile: "Then are you still angry?" ”

Qiao Jinghui turned her face embarrassedly: "I'm not angry." ”

"Okay, now you shouldn't mind if I'm late, her brother really had an accident, although it wasn't life-threatening, but I was on an infusion when I went to see it, and he was also injured."

"Did you tell her brother that you weren't her boyfriend?" Qiao Jinghui is a novelist, and she knows best how the plot will go when such a thing happens.

"Of course." Cai Hefeng smiled, I'm still waiting for you to speak.

Qiao Jinghui finally smiled slightly.

In the evening, Qiao Jinghui looked at the strange and said that the topic of this issue is "Is the partner looking for a partner with more love experience or less love experience".

Some people think that love is sailing, and would rather seek peace through experience than be ruined by a novice. Some people also think that if you find someone who is stronger than you and has more love experience than you, it is someone who has been sold and helped to count the money, and you can't count wrong! So what exactly do you want to find someone to accompany you to grow old and get better? Or is it the gentle and perfect love that the prosperity of the world gives you ready-made?

Qiao Jinghui doesn't think there is any difference between these, more or less love experience will not affect your next time you take someone seriously. When two people are together, as long as they feel comfortable and suitable, it has nothing to do with more or less love experience.

It's just that some people with more experience in love will use their own skills to treat the next lover, and people with less experience in love will always feel that they are not doing enough and not in place, in fact, they are not, put aside all external things, as long as they are attentive, the right ones will naturally be together.

However, this also inevitably evokes Qiao Jinghui's nostalgia for Cai Hefeng's past, she can feel Cai Hefeng's intentions for her, she doesn't know if this is due to liking, but if it is, she can't accept it.

Qiao Jinghui asked herself: "Why don't you believe and accept that he likes you?" ”

Then he replied: "If he wants to like himself, he should like it when he first comes to mind, instead of dating other girls after knowing me, and then coming to tell me that he likes me many years later." ”

"But Cao Jinjin chased very hard, shouldn't there be a reward for paying so much?"

"Yes, she's working hard, so he's rewarded with affection? I can't endorse that approach. There have been so many people chasing me, but I never thought of giving up liking him. ”

"Well, you're still like this."

"Yes, if the person I fell in love with at first sight didn't like me at first sight, but was with other girls, then I wouldn't accept any of his later arguments."

Qiao Jinghui looked up at the ceiling, sure enough, her biggest knot in her heart was still this matter, if Cai Hefeng came to her simply to get married, she would have nothing to say. But if it's because she likes it, then she can't accept it, she can't accept the unequal love between the two parties.

Before going to bed at 11 o'clock, Qiao Jinghui received a text message.

Cai Hefeng:

It's the third day of the week you've given me since the second day I returned to City C, and you're still happy with my performance?

He didn't say it, Qiao Jinghui almost forgot about it, a week's appointment, which means that she has to make a decision in a week.

It's been so fast, it's only seven days a week, and now the third day has passed, so what about Hongchen? He doesn't know about it yet, so wouldn't it be a little unfair to him?

After Qiao Jinghui's "jealousy" happened, Cai Hefeng's eyes would be full of narrowness when he met her from time to time, Qiao Jinghui was a little embarrassed at first, and then he habitually ignored him after many times.

After getting off work in the evening, Qiao Jinghui packed up her things and rushed out as fast as she could, and the little brother was dumbfounded: "Brother Qiao, why are you running so fast, I still have something to tell you!! ”

But Qiao Jinghui is gone.

When she arrived at the door of the building, Qiao Jinghui almost pretended to be full of people who came, and looked up: "Hongchen?!" ”

Hong Chen was also surprised: "I was just about to call you and you rushed into my arms, what a flatter!" Ha ha. ”

Before Qiao Jinghui could ask him what was wrong, someone caught up behind him, and the little brother panted and grabbed Qiao Jinghui's shoulder: "Brother Qiao, can you not run so fast?" Fortunately, the elevator next to it is fast and catches up with you. ”

"What?"

The little brother handed her a red envelope, on which were also painted two dolls wearing red bride and groom clothes, the words "newlywed" Qiao Jinghui could see it clearly, and couldn't help but stare at the little brother in surprise, is this the rhythm of chasing Xiaohu?

The little brother understood her eyes, nodded shyly, and said, "Remember to come then!" And ran away.

Qiao Jinghui happily put the wedding card in her backpack, and Hong Chen smiled and said, "I'll send you back when it's okay." ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded, and the two turned around and got into the car.

Far behind her, a man stood there without saying a word, his legs retracted, and after standing still for a moment, he turned to leave.

The yellow and clear street lamps quickly swept back one after another, and the resulting shadows kept passing over her face, and Qiao Jinghui leaned her head against the window as usual, looking intently ahead.

Hong Chen would turn his head to look at her from time to time, sometimes he would feel that Qiao Jinghui's heart was actually very far away from him, she was always looking elsewhere, and occasionally her eyes fell on him and it was faint. But it's normal, no matter what she faces, she is always indifferent, including when she was in Tibet, when she faced the terrifying gangsters.

It was really worrying at the time, although she was still yelling at him, but it was a sign that she cared about him.

Now that they have returned to a peaceful life, the relationship between them has become calm again. He knew that Qiao Jinghui didn't like him, and he always knew it, but she didn't like other people either, didn't she? So as long as he is persistent and attentive enough, she will be with him sooner or later.

In fact, once you have the person you love deeply, your heart will automatically reject the existence of other people, Qiao Jinghui has loved Cai Hefeng wholeheartedly for so many years, of course she can't fit other people in her heart.

Just like Hong Chen, who has also loved Qiao Jinghui for so many years, he doesn't have no better choice, but he believes that Qiao Jinghui doesn't want to be involved with other women anymore.

Hongchen sent her to the gate of the community and parked the car, and then got out of the car to accompany her for a short distance.

The street lights are dim and the figures are mottled.

"My uncle and aunt are looking for me today, when did they arrive in City C?"

Qiao Jinghui was stunned for a moment, yes, the relationship between Qiao's father and Qiao's mother and Hongchen is so good, it is impossible not to look for Hongchen when she arrives in City C, so she replied: "I arrived at noon yesterday, they went to find you by themselves?" ”

"No, Hua Wen drove them over, and then Hua Wen left."

"I'll just say, they're not that familiar with the traffic in City C."

"They said they were going on a trip, are you worried?"

"I'm still a little worried." Qiao Jinghui took off the shoulder strap of her backpack, "However, now that the communication equipment is so developed, I will locate their location at any time, and they will call or text me if they have anything." ”

had already arrived downstairs and was about to separate, Qiao Jinghui turned to look at him, but Hong Chen took out a small black velvet box from his trouser pocket and handed it to her, with a small red bow on it.

Qiao Jinghui took it suspiciously.

"Did you forget the birthday present you made up?"

Qiao Jinghui suddenly realized and smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you!" ”

"The patterns I designed are also made by hand, and although the craftsmanship is not as good as those craftsmen, it is still eye-catching."

Qiao Jinghui didn't open it in front of him, and smiled happily: "Thank you!" I'll treasure it. "A small box like this contains either a necklace or a ring, no matter what it is, she doesn't usually wear it, and the most likely thing is a ring, and if it's a ring, it's not appropriate for any finger she wears now.

In the dark night, Hong Chen's dark eyes stared at Qiao Jinghui's gentle face, as if he wanted to see her in his heart, in this situation, he wanted to hug her into his arms, but he couldn't be so sudden, otherwise Qiao Jinghui would be unhappy, he knew.

Qiao Jinghui raised her head slightly and saw Hong Chen's affectionate gaze, and she didn't dare to look at each other, so she lowered her head again and said, "Then I'll go up if it's okay." ”

"Well, you can go up quickly."

"Bye-bye."

"Good night."

Some people say that the pinyin of "good night" is taken apart to mean "I love you love you", Qiao Jinghui doesn't believe in this evil, never uses these two words to say goodbye to people, in her opinion, if she likes it, if she doesn't like it, she doesn't like it, although she has a crush on Cai Hefeng, but she never says the word "good night" to him.

What to do with such a complicated matter, it is best to simply "bye-bye", lest others think too much.

Hong Chen stood under the street lamp and watched the elevator door close little by little, taking Qiao Jinghui to a world that he couldn't seem to go to.

He thought, he probably won't be able to enter her heart in his life, but his requirements are not high, as long as she can stay by his side willingly, he doesn't want more.

When she opened the door, Qiao Jinghui met Qiao's father, who was busy in the kitchen, and then the two ladies in the living room who were applying facial masks.

"Would you like to come over and put it on too? I called your dad to cook the ingredients for us in the kitchen, so that it is estimated that we can use it for a few days, so as not to make it every day and trouble. ”

The corners of Qiao Jinghui's mouth twitched: "Are you going to take this away and use it on the road?" ”

"That's right! But if you want to use it, I can leave you some too. ”

"I don't need to, are you sure you can take this on the plane?"

Qiao's mother was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Let's talk about it when I get there, if you can't bring it for consignment, it's not heavy anyway, and it won't cost a lot of money." ”

Qiao Jinghui hurriedly put down her backpack and washed in order to avoid her mouth being broken.

Hua Wen laughed sullenly on the side, walked over and hung the backpack she threw casually on the hanger at the door, but her hand touched a bulging piece on the side of the backpack.

When I touched it out, it looked like a high-end box, Hua Wen walked back to the sofa and asked Qiao Jinghui who was in the toilet: "This is what Hongchen gave you?" ”

"Hey, how do you know?"

"Of course I know, he told me not to pick you up today, and he said he would pick you up. If it wasn't for Hong Chen, could it be that this was sent by Cai Hefeng? ”

Qiao's mother said, "Open it and let me take a look." ”

Qiao Jinghui hadn't come out of the toilet yet, and shouted in the toilet: "It was sent by Hong Chen!" He said it was a birthday present for me, and said he made it himself, and I haven't even seen it. ”

"Wow! That's good! It's really beautiful~" There was an exclamation from Qiao's mother outside the toilet.

Qiao Jinghui hurriedly finished washing up, rushed into the living room, and was stunned when she saw the things in Qiao's mother's hand, what about the ring or necklace she said? Neither!

The blooming petals made of sterling silver, the lower layer is a slender leaf of pure gold, although it is not as bright as a diamond when taken out, but it is also a very beautiful shape that can blind the eyes of a dog.

Qiao Jinghui asked blankly, "What can I do with this?" ”

Qiao's mother turned the delicate little gadget over and said, "Oh, it should be caught in the hair." ”

Hua Wen was studying the box with it, and after a while, she took out a small note from it and read it word for word: "I hope you can wear it when you get married." ”

Qiao's mother stared at her daughter with a narrow face: "Yo~ This is a marriage proposal?" ”

Qiao Jinghui looked unnatural: "I don't know, he didn't say anything else." ”

"Then you don't think you saw this note, you didn't find it anyway." Hua Wen said, "That is, I can only find out, if it were you, maybe I wouldn't be able to find out in this life, he overestimated you." ”

Qiao Jinghui: ""

Qiao's mother said: "We have also seen Cai Hefeng now, and there is definitely no need to say much about what we know about Hongchen, my opinion is - whatever you want." They are all excellent, they are all serious about you, and when they get married in the future, no matter which one you are with, they will not be bullied. ”

Qiao's father finally came out of the kitchen and interjected: "Fortunately, the two of them are relatively stable, unlike most boys nowadays who are very impetuous." I think that Cai Hefeng, this baby, is more tactful and measured, and both of them have excellent work ability, I don't know your business, so I won't talk about work. Hong Chen, his relationship with the elders in the family must be better, and he also knows how to get along with the elders, if you marry him, he will definitely be able to handle your relationship with their family. And he also made it clear that he likes you, and he has insisted on it for so many years, I believe that he will not treat you badly in the future. ”

Hua Wen only looked at her and didn't speak.

Qiao Jinghui was silent for a while and nodded.
