CHAPTER XXVI

This time I came to find Mango and Renjie mainly to hand over the progress of the work, and greet each other by the way, in fact, Mango and Renjie couldn't bear to be lonely and wanted to come out to KTV waves once, and Qiao Jinghui came out to forage, Cheng Yang sometimes goes out to socialize with colleagues, and she basically has no chance to go out to eat, it just so happens that Cheng Yang can't come back at noon today, so she took the opportunity to ask these two two to come out for lunch, she doesn't want to cook instant noodles at home and wash the dishes.

Seeing that the senior year has passed halfway, the progress of the three of them is very worrying, so this can be regarded as an emergency meeting, but as soon as Qiao Jinghui entered the library, she met Su Ling, who was borrowing books, and both of them were shocked.

Qiao Jinghui said in surprise: "Huh? ”

Su Ling said angrily: "Give me back, you calculate how long you haven't looked for me, and now we are the only ones left in our dormitory, and you still leave me alone at school?!" ”

Qiao Jinghui pulled her out awkwardly: "Shhhh ”

The security guard at the door watched Qiao Jinghui walk out less than a minute after she came in, and pulled another girl.

"Don't I have a bad memory? And there's never a habit of being in touch with people all the time, you know, every time I'm on vacation. Qiao Jinghui explained as she walked, "Then didn't you take the initiative to find me?" If someone had approached me online, I would have replied. ”

"Then why are you coming to school today?" Su Ling pouted and gave her a blank look.

"I'm working on my graduation project with two other girls, and I'm here today to hand over the progress of the work, after all, the semester is almost over, and everyone has to go home during the winter vacation."

"Obviously, you're afraid that you'll lose contact as soon as you get home, so come and tell them in advance." Su Ling hit the nail on the head.

"It's okay to be seen through by you, don't be angry, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner."

"What about lunch, I just had breakfast, have you had breakfast?"

"I came out of breakfast after breakfast." Qiao Jinghui glanced at her watch, it was now half past ten, "It's all this o'clock, so what are you going to do for lunch?" ”

"Let's talk about lunch. I can't tell you have to eat breakfast now, even if we passed by the cafeteria and we had to buy breakfast, you wouldn't eat it. ”

"Cheng Yang's breakfast, I ate a few bites by the way."

Cheng Yang had also come to their bedroom before, and they all knew that Qiao Jinghui and Cheng Yang had been best friends for many years, and they had a very good relationship, and said: "That's right, it's always good to have someone who cooks, but fortunately you don't live with us, we usually solve it ourselves in the morning where we buy breakfast, and we are very busy, and we are too lazy to get up so early to cook breakfast." ”

"And how are you going now?"

Su Ling smiled: "Take your time, I'm still the same anyway, Xiaotang and Xuejuan are working hard." ”

Qiao Jinghui put her hand on Su Ling's shoulder with a serious expression: "Come on." ”

Since they separated, the two hadn't spoken much, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while, and after walking aimlessly together in silence for a long time, Su Ling said, "Have you thought about what you will do after graduation?" Graduate school entrance examination? "If it's a graduate school entrance examination, it's definitely not like her, after all, Qiao Jinghui's grades are better than her, although she was still the one with the worst grades in the dormitory in her freshman year.

Qiao Jinghui shook her head: "I don't want to go to graduate school, it's too much of a waste of time, I've spent a year on being a soldier, and everyone is getting old, if you don't go out to work to earn money, the people in the family will gossip." ”

"Also, many juniors already have internships, not to mention those of us who have already graduated."

"In another half a year, it's time to go our separate ways again." Qiao Jinghui stopped and sat on a chair on the side of the road, "When the time comes, will Hua Wen and Xiaoqi come back to see?" ”

Her eyes full of simple sadness looked directly at Su Ling, Su Ling couldn't look directly at her sadness, and also sat down next to her, the four of them had been separated for too long, Xiao Qi was far away in Shaanxi, and Hua Wen was even more far away in Italy. Since they separated, the three of them have become less and less connected, everyone has their own busy, each has their own pursuit, each has their own ideals, sometimes when they think of the past, it seems that it is really just a dream, a dream that makes people have endless memories but can never be redone.

Time just doesn't stop, everyone has to move forward, and their trajectories are destined to be different, they will intersect, they will coincide, they will be parallel, but they will not always be so close.

How long can we sit together like this, Su Ling doesn't know, and Qiao Jinghui doesn't know, but it is very clear that one minute is one minute, even if you can't say anything, you feel that it's good like this, and it appropriately interprets the word that the world is longing for - the years are quiet.

Later, when the two got together again, Su Ling said nostalgically: "You are a person who can't hide your thoughts, especially when you don't speak quietly, all your emotions are revealed, and when I looked at your side face, I knew that even if it was us, sooner or later one day we would be separated, and the one who left first must be you." ”

"You're always looking into the distance, your eyes are wandering sometimes, I don't know why you suddenly worked so hard in your sophomore year, but I think you must have someone or something you want to chase, and you don't want to say that it's futile for us to ask too much. But then we felt that we guessed wrong, because you didn't become happy because of your good grades, and studying seemed to be a way for you to decompress. ”

"Then I was the first to see you come back from the army, and I know better than any of them that you have not gotten any better than you are deeper and more stable. But Hua Wen is not here, only she knows how to let you speak, but she is not there, I have no choice but to let you go. ”

"Who knew you would run so far, but fortunately you are much better now, you can laugh and cry and be helpless."

Qiao Jinghui interrupted Su Ling's affectionate monologue: "When have I ever cried? ”

"Oops! Let's make an analogy! Su Ling made a slightly stunned expression, and Qiao Jinghui had no choice but to make a "by you, by you" action.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Qiao Jinghui remembered to look at her phone, Mango and Renjie must have been waiting for her, and when she looked at QQ, sure enough, the message of the call was as high as 99+, so she quickly replied: "I'm sorry I didn't look at my phone, I'll come over right away where you are." ”

Su Ling knew that she had something to do today, so she stood up and said, "Go get busy, I'm also leaving, let's talk next time we meet." ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded: "Next time, let's make an appointment and call Xuejuan and Xiaotang as well." ”

Su Ling agreed, and the two broke up.

Maybe life is like this, two people always have to go separately in a certain place, towards the future where you should go.

Lin Junjie is a singer that Qiao Jinghui likes a lot, she has heard most of his songs, and she can hum them, basically what attracts her is not the lyrics, but the melody of each song, every time I listen to it, I will have a feeling of enchantment, whether it is his voice or the melody and rhythm of the song itself, it seems that everything is just right to make every pore of the body relax.

When she and Su Ling both turned to leave, the voice of a song unconsciously appeared in her mind: "Don't wait until a thousand years later, everyone has forgotten me, at that time in the desert of red dusk, who can solve the loneliness that has been entangled for thousands of years?" ”

I especially remember that when the 6018 dormitory went out to sing all night, everyone loved to sing "She Said" together.

She came quietly

She slowly took away the loneliness

Just a last promise

Still couldn't take away the loneliness

There is nothing wrong with our love

It's just that the beautiful solitude is too tormenting

She said it didn't matter

As long as you can have sustenance when you toss and turn at night

Fireworks won't be perfect until it gets dark

Memories burned to ashes still can't wait for the end

It doesn't matter what she said

I'm afraid of being destroyed day by day

I can't wait for the buds to wither when it's dark

The green leaves are following

Let go of the tingling taste

In the future, I will no longer be afraid of the dawn

I guess it's just scared to be sober

All feelings are only infected by people's emotions, so love songs are not necessarily sung to lovers.

When Qiao Jinghui arrived at the location of the two people, Mango split his head and covered his face: "Quickly call us!" Renjie said: "Next time we can't see QQ, we can kill a serial call." ”

"Tell me the phone number.

"Please eat!" "Please eat!" Mango and Renjie said in unison, and Qiao Jinghui had no choice but to agree.

The three of them walked and chatted, and suddenly a boy passed by to greet Mango, and the boy invited him a little shyly: "A few of us in the dormitory are going to Happy Valley to play, do you want to come, you can call your dormitory together, this week Sunday." ”

"Huh?" Mango suddenly acted as if he hadn't woken up, and looked at the boy a few times, ambiguous, "Uh, ah, well, I'll go back and ask them." ”

Renjie gave Qiao Jinghui a look, Qiao Jinghui was slow to react and didn't understand, so Renjie had to attach to her ear and say, "Don't you see that the man likes mangoes?" ”

"See, what's wrong?"

Qiao Jinghui took it for granted, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it, Renjie looked at Qiao Jinghui with hatred, but before Renjie could count her, Mango said goodbye to the boy.

"Hey, hey, there's an appointment?" Renjie winked at the mango. The boy hadn't gone far yet, and Mango was afraid that the boy would hear it, so he slapped Renjie vigorously and asked her to be quiet.

When I arrived at the restaurant, Mango received a phone call again, listening to the voice of a man, listening to the content should be asking her if she had eaten, Mango even said that she was about to eat, and frowned and said that he really didn't lie to him, and hung up the phone. Renjie said that Mango's father also cares about her too much, like his father has no news for a week and is not in a hurry.

As a result, Mango said: "It's not my dad, it's my friend." ”

"Boyfriend?!" Qiao Jinghui and Renjie exclaimed in unison.

"It's not"

"That's right, if it's a boyfriend, who is that man just now?" Renjie said smartly.

Mango hesitated suspiciously, and when the food came, the three of them did not mention it again.

After dinner, I went to Hualian KTV, and while Renjie was alone there shouting "Love When I Die", Qiao Jinghui leaned over and asked Mango: "What's wrong, are you pondering again?" ”

"Jinghui, have you ever had a boyfriend?"

"Uh, no."

"You're a senior and haven't had a boyfriend yet?! If you're ugly and fat, forget it, oh my God, you're such a weird guy. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, you still mean me."

"Okay, let me ask you, would a girl with a mature mind choose a boy who risked being kicked out by the dormitory manager because she didn't eat and delivered the meal to the door in person, or would she choose a boy who usually didn't bother her and summoned up a lot of courage to ask her out to play with a group of people?"

Qiao Jinghui thought about it carefully, and estimated that the one who called just now was the former, and the boy she met before dinner was the latter, so she replied, "You are mentally mature?" ”

Mango was speechless: "Got the point wrong, girl!" ”

Renjie turned around: "What's wrong?" ”

Both of them waved their hands and said they were fine.

"And who do you like?" Qiao Jinghui asked, Mango shook his head and said, "I don't like it." ”

"Huh?" I don't like it, so why do you have to choose one of them?

Mango smiled: "Didn't someone say that young impulsive and adventurous people will choose what they like, and mature people will choose those who like themselves?" ”

Qiao Jinghui pondered for a while, feeling that everyone had different ideas, so she said: "I think, you are still so young, you can still pursue the person you like, why be swayed by other people's remarks, of course, I just express my opinion, you can just listen to it." In this world, everyone is waiting for others to like it, who still likes others, and I personally think that liking each other is the best. ”

Mango smiled: "How can it be so suitable, when you like someone, that person happens to like you too, most of them are obtained after pursuit, or after getting along for a long time, they have a good impression of each other and then they are naturally together." ”

"Well, that's right, what about you? What do you personally think? ”

"Me? I don't know" Mango leaned back, Renjie came over and grabbed Mango's shoulders and handed her the microphone: "The next song is yours, go quickly." My voice is hoarse! ”

"Why are you yelling so hard, you'll have a song later." Qiao Jinghui said with a smile.

"It's okay, I have a strong recovery ability, besides, I haven't come out to play for so long, roar two throats to release the pressure!"

After going back, Qiao Jinghui found that Cheng Yang hadn't come back yet, there was no text message, no message, and no one answered the call, and the other Qiao Jinghui could accept it, but what was the situation if the call was not answered?

Qiao Jinghui also went to the hospital where Cheng Yang was before, and she could barely find the way, so it took half an hour to take the bus and half an hour to find Cheng Yang's department, and asked the front desk: "Is Cheng Yang here?" I'm her friend. ”

The front desk shook his head: "At 1 o'clock at noon, a few of them went to dinner together, and they took half a day off, she may be at home, what's wrong?" ”

Qiao Jinghui also shook her head: "She's not at home, I live with her, do you know where they go to eat?" ”

"I didn't ask about that, but I know where they went last time, and maybe they were there this time."

The front desk wrote the address to Qiao Jinghui, and also drew a simple map, Qiao Jinghui is a bit of a road idiot, and couldn't help but praise: "Your talent for drawing is good." The front desk was praised and blushed.

Successfully found the restaurant, and there was no shadow of a group of them after looking for it, or the little waiter saw that she seemed to be looking for someone, and thought about it for a while before saying: "That group of people, they seem to say that they are going to KTV, but there are a lot of KTVs around here, I don't know which one they went to." ”

Qiao Jinghui thought for a moment and asked, "Which is the cleanest one in this neighborhood?" It's okay if it's a little more expensive. Cheng Yang can't stand the dirty things the most, usually at home, she can't stand the place where she stays into a pig's nest, and when she goes out to eat, she has to wipe the table, bench and chopsticks again and again, not to mention going to KTV, a place where different people come and go every day.

Fortunately, there are not many KTV rooms in this KTV room, first look at it from the window, if you can't see it clearly, you will be cheeky and open every room to see it again, if not, just say "I'm sorry to go to the wrong door", and soon Qiao Jinghui found them, I saw Cheng Yang on the window, but the situation inside seemed to be a little chaotic, there was a woman standing there pointing and saying something loudly, but the sound of the stereo was too loud, Qiao Jinghui couldn't hear it clearly.

"Slut! I want you to know how good I am today! ”

The sharpness of this sentence was so sharp that even Qiao Jinghui outside the door could hear it clearly, and Cheng Yanghua looked at the person with a disgraced expression.

"What the hell !!"

Qiao Jinghui opened the door of the private room suddenly, and in a hurry, she couldn't say such a literary shout in the TV series, but directly exploded the dialect, which calmed the person next to her, but the woman had already rushed in front of Cheng Yang, Cheng Yang was first frightened by this woman, and then by Qiao Jinghui, and there was no counterattack at all.

Almost without any hesitation, Qiao Jinghui followed the direction in which the woman pounced, grabbed the other party's collar and pulled it back, but I don't know if the quality of the clothes was not good or Qiao Jinghui was too strong, and the back of the clothes was directly pulled out of a long tear.

The sound of "hiss-" reached everyone's ears, Qiao Jinghui was slightly embarrassed for a second, and put her hand back on the woman's shoulder, and pulled the whole person away with a single effort, and the woman staggered back several steps.

The men and women present were shocked and held their breath and did not dare to speak.

Cheng Yang's eyes widened: "Why are you here?" ”

Before Qiao Jinghui could speak, a man next to her came over and said, "Xiaoyang, are you okay?" ”

Qiao Jinghui's eyebrows furrowed, and without waiting for Cheng Yang to answer, she pushed the man away, and said in an unkind tone: "Idle people, wait for them to go away!" ”

The man was about to refute something, but the woman who was pushed away before stood up and pointed at Qiao Jinghui and shouted, "Which onion are you?" Dare to me! You dare to push me, and you tore my clothes for me, I see that you are the helper found by this slut, the old lady has to tear the faces of the two of you today! ”

Slut? She didn't mind swearing, but she knew that Cheng Yang hated others saying that girls were cheap or something, and sure enough, Cheng Yang frowned, now it's not a mission or training, Qiao Jinghui doesn't want to make a move, because if she shoots here, it will be a crowd fight and a fight, and if she is not careful, she will be arrested.

Now that she is still a senior student, she can't help but be older than one, she will never do what she can say, and she will never say more and waste saliva if she can ignore it.

But now this woman is obviously difficult to ignore, so Qiao Jinghui decided to bother to speak: "I don't care why you want to make trouble, but what I have to tell you is that Cheng Yang - the person you want to fight is my person, if you dare to touch her, I will definitely make you unable to get out today." ”

The woman seemed to sneer: "You think I will be afraid of your threat? ”

A girl who was sitting on the same sofa as Cheng Yang cautiously said to her: "It's better not to mess with her, she has been a soldier and fought with gangsters, so you better not hit a stone with an egg." ”

Qiao Jinghui glanced at the girl who spoke, she was still a timid and scared little Lori, it is estimated that she has similar qualifications as Cheng Yang, and she may even have just come in, and she can say "hitting a stone with an egg" in daily life, which is a bit cultured. It must be something that Cheng Yang usually popularized with them, but there is one thing wrong, she has never fought, but she has participated in several actual combat exercises.

But now is not the time to dwell on this, Qiao Jinghui squinted at the woman with lofty eyes, but the man came out to speak: "Come with me, don't make trouble." ”

The woman's eyebrows furrowed as if she didn't follow, and the man said, "I'm sorry for you?" It's none of Xiaoyang's business, let's go out and talk about it. ”

Obviously, when he mentioned the word "Xiaoyang", the woman's mood fluctuated greatly, so Qiao Jinghui interrupted the man: "Don't call 'Xiaoyang' so affectionately, I haven't agreed yet." ”

Cheng Yang pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to go too far, the man's expression froze, and he said embarrassedly: "Let's go first, I'm really embarrassed about today's incident." ”

What else did the woman want to say, Qiao Jinghui blocked her gaze at Cheng Yang, and said: "If there is such a thing in the future, it's better to figure it out and come again, don't jump out like a shrew at every turn, it's good that she has my protection, if someone else's girl is falsely accused by you and beaten, will you call the police directly?" ”

Cheng Yang lowered his head helplessly, Qiao Jinghui is like this, as long as she touches her bottom line, she will be unforgiving regardless of whether she is reasonable or not, and her words will be harsh and mean, which is very different from her usual lazy and casual appearance.

But at the same time, she was very happy, no matter what, Qiao Jinghui was on her side, which made her feel a lot more at ease.

Most of the time, all people need is a person they can rely on, a trusting look, and a person who is willing to fight for you unreasonably, and that person is often either a relative or a friend.

The light in the KTV is very dim, so dark that he can't see the looks of people a meter away, but Cheng Yang, who is sitting behind Qiao Jinghui, feels that the front is very bright, so bright that even Qiao Jinghui's clothes shake smoothly every time she breathes, and the shaking of the tips of her hair can be seen clearly. At this moment, Qiao Jinghui is the god who came from Muguang, a god who only belongs to her.

The man said something to the woman again, and after the two argued for a while, the man put his coat on her or left, and the people in the private room breathed a sigh of relief, Qiao Jinghui sat down next to Cheng Yang and didn't say a word. In fact, she understood everything from the time she saw this scene, and now she doesn't need any explanation, any justification, she just wants to sit quietly for a while and let Cheng Yang slow down, after all, the party is Cheng Yang and not her, she just needs to accept the existence of this matter, but Cheng Yang needs time to digest all this, and then make plans for the future.

She has long said that there are dragons and snakes in this society, everyone has them, don't trust anyone, no one can blame you for becoming like this, you can only say that you can eat a trench and grow wise, but even if you are injured, you still have to insist on being a kind person! You can't give up the whole dawn because of a little darkness.

After such a fuss, everyone is no longer in the mood to sing, and they are on the original song. Jing Music, playing with mobile phones, silent silence, the little Lori who spoke cautiously before came over and said, "Sister Jinghui, you are so good!" Throw her away at once, and scare her with a few words! ”

Qiao Jinghui reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "It's nothing, how old are you this year, and you still call me sister." "You must know that she hasn't graduated yet, and the little Lori in front of her is already working.

Little Lori said embarrassedly: "I'm about to turn 20, I entered this hospital from the health school, and I just came here for a few months, Sister Cheng Yang took good care of me and often told us about you." ”

Qiao Jinghui nodded: "Let me correct one point, I haven't fought a war, but I have only participated in a few actual combat exercises." ”

Little Lori nodded again and again: "Mmmm, I know, but that's still very powerful!" I guess you can lift me up with one hand, right? ”

"How much do you weigh?"

"55 kilograms."

The corners of Qiao Jinghui's mouth twitched, she was not old, tall, and weighed more than her, and said: "I'm not born with divine power, it's okay if I want to hit a 55-kilogram sandbag, but I can't lift a 55-kilogram big living person with one hand." ”

"Sister Jinghui said that people are sandbags"

"Nope"

Glancing at the time on the phone, it was another five minutes before the two of them went out, Qiao Jinghui turned her head and asked Cheng Yang, "Go home, now." ”

Cheng Yang nodded ignorantly, stood up and followed Qiao Jinghui.

Qiao Jinghui turned around and asked before leaving: "Did she pay Cheng Yang's share of your AA system?" If not, I'll transfer it to you later. ”

Everyone nodded: "It's paid." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Jinghui led Cheng Yang out.

Little Lori couldn't help but sigh after the door closed: "So handsome!" ”

Someone said: "You're a nymphomaniac again, it's really a man and a woman, regardless of age." ”

"What's the matter, it's really handsome!"

If Qiao Jinghui heard it, she would be happy and miserable, compared with other adjectives, she likes others to praise her handsome.
