CHAPTER XXXVIII
The next day, when she went to work, Qiao Jinghui felt that Cai Hefeng did not have anything unusual after careful observation, and she was more sure that he must have made a mistake, but she was also more curious, who did he propose to?
Tan Yangcheng?
Or is it the existence of someone else she doesn't know?
In this way, she really doesn't know his world, and it's normal, their world has never been the same
At noon, Hong Chen came to pick up Qiao Jinghui to eat, since he came back, the two have eaten together a lot of times, Qiao Jinghui no longer regards him as a senior, and now he is a blind date, and it is normal to go out to eat and visit the park often.
It's just that when they went out, there was a familiar figure standing far away, looking at the direction they were leaving, and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
It's been like this for a few days, and the department is saying that Brother Qiao has finally returned to her womanly demeanor and has a boyfriend, and Qiao Jinghui didn't refute it this time.
Because it's a blind date, if you get along well, you're going to get married, so it doesn't matter if you're a boyfriend now.
Qiao Jinghui recently received a work assignment, the deadline is approaching, she has to work overtime in a row, tonight is no exception, even the little brother who has always left late left first - he said that Xiao Hu asked him to have supper.
Everyone packed up their things one after another and left the office, and gradually, Qiao Jinghui was the only one in the cubicle.
Looking around the entire office, not far from their lattice room, Cai Hefeng was still sitting in his original seat, Qiao Jinghui felt a little at ease, as long as there was one person with her, it didn't matter who it was.
Of course, she is very happy that it is Cai Hefeng.
Constantly debugging and modifying, changing the past and changing back, it never worked, Qiao Jinghui leaned back helplessly, wanting to rest and do it again, but there was a figure directly covering the light in front of her, and the breath belonging to him immediately lingered on the tip of her nose.
She was startled, and immediately resumed her sitting position, but her face was closer to his, and she quietly moved back a little in embarrassment.
Cai Hefeng stared at her screen and asked, "Why don't you leave yet?" It's almost half past twelve, and no one is coming to pick you up? β
"I told them that I was going to work overtime today, and I would take a taxi back after work."
"Them?"
"Hua Wen and Senior Hongchen." For some reason, when facing Cai Hefeng's question, she preferred to add the word "senior".
"Tell me about your situation."
Solve it early and go back to rest early.,Although I don't want to trouble others.,But I've known the great god for so long and I've never let the great god take care of his professional related things.,This is the first time he's let him look at his own code.γ
"I don't know why it's always wrong, and I don't see where it's wrong."
"The compiler says the error is on this line, are you sure the rest is okay?"
Qiao Jinghui nodded, although this line of code is long, but the content is very simple, and it is generally not wrong, she has read it many times, and even traced it back to the previous line, and all kinds of changes are not possible.
Cai Hefeng looked at this line of code seriously, Qiao Jinghui glanced at his side face with his residual vision, he propped himself on the table with one hand and propped up on her chair with the other, it felt like he was surrounded by her, as if he was embraced.
"You're blushing, what's wrong?" Cai Hefeng glanced at her.
Qiao Jinghui replied quietly: "You have heat on you." β
Cai Hefeng: ""
Even if it was the heat he brought, he wouldn't just take it back! How could the hand that had been pretended to be so natural be so easily withdrawn?
"Do you use full-width when you hit this symbol?" Cai Hefeng tapped the computer screen with his slender fingers.
Qiao Jinghui was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "I don't remember, try it." β
Then the person got closer to the computer, so as to correct the mistake, Cai Hefeng smiled secretly, she seemed to be closer to her face like this~
After changing it, I debugged it again, and it actually ran successfully!
"Hey! Thank you! Here's the mistake! Qiao Jinghui turned her head happily and said, and then was embarrassed to find that the faces of the two were less than ten centimeters apart
What is the concept of ten centimeters, it sounds very far, in fact, it is about two-thirds of the glasses case, one-half of the bottle of mineral water, less than the length of a mouthwash cup, don't think that it is very far, as long as the two of them come forward a little, they can not see each other's faces clearly and kiss each other's lips.
The atmosphere suddenly became very ambiguous, but Qiao Jinghui defeated the impulse and lowered her head and began to pack her things.
"Thanks, it's time for me to go."
Cai Hefeng straightened up and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" Is it Hongchen? β
Qiao Jinghui was stunned, she didn't expect him to care about her relationship again, and said, "Maybe." β
"What do you mean by 'maybe'?"
"Because he's my blind date." Qiao Jinghui said, "If you try to get married after a while, you will be ready to get married, so it doesn't seem wrong to say that he is my boyfriend now." β
Cai Hefeng was silent for a long time, but still asked, "Do you like him?" β
Faced with this problem, Qiao Jinghui spent no less time silent than him, she knew that her concept might not be accepted by most people, but she still had to say: "Marriage is just a matter of living together, and it doesn't matter if you like it or not." β
Who didn't fantasize about loving me for 10,000 years when he was young, and then it was reduced to being with me for a lifetime, and then it became just making do with me.
"You're so indifferent to your marriage? A marriage without love is not long-lasting. β
He was glad that she wasn't with him because she liked Hong Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance at all, after all, digging the foot of the wall was something he disdained to do (Hong Chen: Aren't you digging the foot of the wall like this now!). οΌγ
Qiao Jinghui was no longer in a hurry to pack up her things and leave, she felt that if she continued to say it like this, it was necessary for her to make it clear before leaving.
"But a marriage with only love is not long-lasting, and it is easy to hurt feelings."
Well, he couldn't refute that, but he would prove that it wouldn't last long for her to see the truth, so he changed the subject: "Did you see the email I sent you, why didn't you reply?" β
"I thought you sent it by mistake, so you sent it here for me to see it for you?" She is used to conservative speculation.
Cai Hefeng smiled, no wonder he didn't pay much attention to him for a while, and as if nothing had happened, he thought that she didn't see the email and wanted to send it again.
"Since you're so casual about marriage, you might as well marry me."
Qiao Jinghui originally wanted to refute that she was not casual about marriage at all, but when she heard the latter sentence marrying him, she was shocked: "What do you mean?" β
"My parents asked me to get married before I was 30, and I'm 29 this year."
"But," she hesitated, "you have a better choice, there are a lot of people in the company who like you, such as Tan Yangcheng, my conditions are not very good, you and I have known each other for so many years, haven't you found that I am useless?" β
Use "good for nothing" to evaluate yourself, you are also hard enough! Cai Hefeng unhurriedly fabricated reasons at will: "You and I are both programmers, in the same department, you will be very adaptable to the rules of life in the future, and you are the only unmarried or unmarried female programmer in our department who does not have a boyfriend." β
Qiao Jinghui was stunned and couldn't help but sigh: "What a powerful logic!" β
"Well, do you want to think about it?"
Cai Hefeng smiled so hard that he was bound to win, but he heard the other party say: "Okay, I'll give you a week to reconsider, lest you be impulsive." β
In turn, he was given time to reconsider, whether this little girl's brain circuit would be too wide.
"I'll have more contact with you this week, remember to see my problems, otherwise it's too late to regret it later, I don't support divorce."
"Good!" Cai Hefeng smiled, how could he change his mind, it should be her who should change his mind!
Hong Chen, although you have contacted more girls and girlfriends than me, but this time I will not lose to you, for Qiao Jinghui, I can't afford to lose, you just wait to take it!
Of course, Cai Hefeng sent Qiao Jinghui home, and Hua Wen hadn't slept yet, watching TV and waiting for her.
Now it's Qiao Jinghui who is in trouble, what should she say about this?
When Hua Wen saw her coming back, she immediately turned off the TV, walked into the kitchen, and said, "I left you a supper, how much did you eat?" β
"It's the same as yesterday." Qiao Jinghui changed her shoes and went to the toilet to wash her face and hands.
After a while, Hua Wen brought her supper to the table, and the two sat opposite each other, Hua Wen usually doesn't eat supper, but she will watch her eat every time, like a couple living at home, just so calm and peaceful.
If she doesn't get married, will she live with Hua Wen like this for the rest of her life?
"I got in touch with Su Ling today, and she said that Xiaoqi has been on vacation recently, so let's find a time to get together together."
Qiao Jinghui was stunned for a moment, she originally wanted to talk about Cai Hefeng, but what Hua Wen said completely attracted her attention: "Is it timed?" β
Hua Wen shook her head: "Let me ask you what time has been empty lately." β
"I just finished my mission tonight, so I shouldn't have anything to do, so have you discussed where to meet?"
"Not yet, Su Ling is now in Sichuan, Xiaoqi hasn't bought a ticket yet, and we're in City C, what do you think?"
Qiao Jinghui pondered for a while and said, "Why don't we settle in Sichuan, after all, we have been together over there for so long, and of course old friends want to see each other in the old place." β
Hua Wen smiled: "Okay, I'll tell Su Ling tomorrow." β
Qiao Jinghui finished her supper and said, "You two used to be the most fond of bickering, but now it's very good." β
"Who's nice to her, but it's just because she's the best to get in touch with."
As she spoke, Hua Wen took away the dishes and chopsticks, and Qiao Jinghui looked at her back and smiled, arrogant again.
However, since he is going back to Sichuan recently, he will go to ask for leave first, and he will also talk to Cai Hefeng, so as not to disturb their 6018 party.
By the way, I have to tell Hong Chen, otherwise he will follow her as a blind date, Cai Hefeng should not be the kind of person who likes to be clingy, but Hong Chen is!
Before going to bed at night, Qiao Jinghui leaned against Hua Wen's door and said in a hurry: "There is one thing, I think it is better to tell you now." β
Hua Wen is a spirit, what to do so seriously, it is difficult to be
"Before I come back tonight, thatγCai and Feng heγHe said he wanted to marry me"
"What?!"
"Don't get excited, he said, his parents told him to get married before the age of 30, but the only suitable partner is me at the moment, and I am not married, so he said so."
Why didn't you tell Hua Wen what Cai Hefeng said? Later, Qiao Jinghui thought to herself, maybe even she knew that this kind of reason was not enough to convince people, but as long as it was Cai Hefeng, she would believe it.
Hua Wen looked at Qiao Jinghui in silence.
After staring at each other for a long time, Hua Wen asked, "What about Hongchen?" β
"I'll tell him."
"Your own business, you know how to solve it, I won't say anything." Hua Wen lay down and said, "I'm going to sleep." β
"Oh," Qiao Jinghui had to close the door.
Early the next morning, Qiao Jinghui looked at Hua Wen again and again, and after repeating it many times, Hua Wen couldn't help asking, "Why do you keep looking at me?" β
"I'm afraid you'll be angry!"
Qiao Jinghui said bluntly, and Hua Wen stroked her forehead: "What should I do, I guess the time of the party will be set at noon, and you are going to ask for leave in the afternoon, you know?" β
"Hmm." Qiao Jinghui nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, you eat quickly, I'll send you to work when I'm done."
As a result, as soon as she finished eating, Qiao Jinghui's mobile phone rang, and she simply answered the phone, Hua Wen glanced at her, and she explained truthfully: "Cai Hefeng said to send me to work, and now I am downstairs." β
It's not even 8 o'clock now, and his residence is close to the company, far from here, excluding the traffic jam in the morning, which means that he gets up at least 7 o'clock in the morning.
Is this man crazy? It took more than an hour to go back and forth from here to the company, and I was full and got up so early to pick up Qiao Jinghui!
Qiao Jinghui also felt that he exceeded her expectations: "But he is already downstairs, and it is difficult for me to refuse"
Hua Wen put down the bowl, walked to the window and looked down, there was indeed a black car parked below.
"I went down and told him not to do this in the future, it's too ostentatious, and others will misunderstand."
Hua Wen looked at her, stupid, what is a misunderstanding? You're both talking about getting married, and it's still called a misunderstanding? But I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart, so I didn't talk.
"Clean up the dishes and chopsticks yourself, since you don't need me to send them, then I'll go first."
Qiao Jinghui nodded.
After going downstairs, Hua Wen directly knocked on the window of the black car, Cai Hefeng rolled down the window, and then got out of the car.
"Shen Huawen, I haven't seen you for many years."
"Well, it's been a long time since we've seen each other, and even if we know the same person in the same city, we haven't thought of meeting each other, so you must think it's not necessary like me."
Cai Hefeng smiled: "So what do you want to tell me now?" β
"Why did you propose marriage to her?" Hua Wen was very direct, and to be honest, she couldn't figure it out.
"Because I like her." Cai Hefeng replied without hesitation, "I have liked her since I met her, and it has not changed until now." β
Hua Wen was shocked, starting from acquaintance? Haven't all that been all over the years? They were still a group, and she never even knew about it.
"However, you were still with Cao Jinjin later, and I don't know how many girl friends you have over the years, although you broke up, but it was always after you met her." Hua Wen hit the nail on the head, "That means that you are in love with someone else while you like her, do you think she will accept this?" β
"Who said I was in love with Cao Jinjin?" Cai Hefeng smiled helplessly, "Although she has been chasing me, and I have been too lazy to care about her over time, but they are not together!" β
ββ
"Besides, if she doesn't like me, she doesn't care about my relationship history at all, unless she likes me."
"Do you know that Hong Chen is chasing her, robbing women with her brother? It is immoral to have the opposite sex without humanity. β
"But life without humanity is incomplete without the opposite sex."
"Okay, that's it, she's coming down, I'm leaving."
"Well, goodbye."
After walking away, Hua Wenwu laughed to herself, now she can figure it out, including some small details in the past, why Cai Hefeng would help her occupy two seats when listening to the lecture, why he would guide Qiao Jinghui while playing basketball, why he would pick her up when the eldest lady of the Situ family got married, and why he proposed marriage when Qiao Jinghui was about to settle down with Hong Chen
This person is really tense, calculate the time, I've known each other for almost 8 years, 8 years is enough time for a person to undergo earth-shaking changes, let alone fall in love and get married.
Qiao Jinghui has no shortage of people chasing her, if it weren't for personal reasons, I'm afraid she would have gotten married and had children under the arrangement of the family, if Cai Hefeng was still so stupid and waiting, what she was waiting for would not be the news that Qiao Jinghui was now on a blind date and preparing to get married, but the news that her children would be able to play soy sauce when they grew up healthy.
Probably he should be grateful to Hongchen.
If it weren't for the fact that Hong Chen had been chasing Qiao Jinghui, and Qiao Jinghui had always disliked her, she might not have insisted on being single for so long.
But whether it is Hongchen or Cai Hefeng, it is the same for Hua Wen, they are all threats to her.
And this threat is something she can't resolve, Hua Wen understands that Qiao Jinghui needs to get married, she should get married, they are different, she should have thought that she couldn't keep her by her side for the rest of her life.
That's fate.
After Qiao Jinghui came down, he really told Cai Hefeng not to pick him up from work in the future, Cai Hefeng expected it, but he was actually just testing whether Hong Chen had similar actions by the way.
Now he is relieved, because no matter who picks him up, Qiao Jinghui will definitely refuse like rejecting him.
Most of the morning radio stations are traffic information and music, and occasionally you can tune in to a host to chat with listeners.
The moderator asked, "What is your biggest dream at the moment?" β
The listener replied, "I've been single for a long time, and I'm in my early thirties, but I still want to find my true love and marry my true love." β
The host asked very awkwardly: "So, do you really love you or do you really love?" β
The audience was silent for a long time, and Cai Hefeng and Qiao Jinghui were also silent.
The host couldn't be cold, and immediately said: "Everyone says that young people always have to have some adventurous spirit and have the courage to pursue what they like. Personally, I think that everyone still has to be brave enough to pursue what they like, and if they are waiting for others to love themselves, who will love others? β
The audience said, "But everyone has gone to love others, and who is going to love themselves?" β
The host obviously also talked about this issue, and answered very slippery: "Be brave to love others, stick to what is worthwhile and possible, and let go in time if you don't do it." The world is so big, you will always meet someone you like and like you. It's just that, before that, you have to work hard to be yourself and be brave enough to find what you like. β
Do you want to be brave enough to follow what you love? Qiao Jinghui glanced at someone who was concentrating on driving, and he said that marrying him was just because the two were the most suitable now, and if he told him that she liked it, it would be a burden to him.
After all, they are just seniors, working superiors and subordinates, even if they have an emotional foundation, it has nothing to do with love.
Qiao Jinghui turned her head to look out the window, love is always a very heavy thing, the right love brings pleasure to people, and the wrong love brings trouble to people, she doesn't want to bring him trouble, so let's be silent.
Cai Hefeng knew that Qiao Jinghui had turned her head, so he looked at her a few more times. He actually listened very carefully to the conversation on the radio, thinking to himself, he used to expect Qiao Jinghui to like him as well, but then gradually lost contact, he hoped that Qiao Jinghui could still remember himself as a person, and then now, he only hoped that she could accept his marriage proposal and be with him.
He can tell Hua Wen without scruples that he likes Qiao Jinghui for many years, but he can't say anything to Qiao Jinghui. He was afraid that he would scare her away when he said it, because in the first place he proposed marriage was not based on "liking", and her conditions for choosing a partner did not consider whether she liked it or not. Hongchen likes her for so many years, and Qiao Jinghui also knew it for a long time, but she didn't accept it, which shows that she doesn't accept other people's likes.
She said: "Marriage is just a matter of living, and it doesn't matter if you like it or not. β
He also said: "A marriage with only love is not long-lasting, and it is easy to hurt feelings." β
So, he can't say.
"By the way, I'm going to take a few days off work recently, and I just got the job done last night with your help." Qiao Jinghui suddenly turned around and said.
"Why are you taking time off?"
"We have to get together in our dormitory, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and we haven't even had contact for so many years."
"In City C?"
"No, let's all go back to Sichuan, anyway, we just go back for a walk, three of the four of us are from Sichuan, only Xiaoqi is far away."
"Okay."
Looking back on those years, it's like the Yeats poem sung by Karen Mok during the Spring Festival Gala.
when.you.are.old
William Butler Yeats
when.you.are.old.and.grey.and.full.of.sleep -- When you're old, gray-haired, sleepy,
and.nodding.by.the.fire,ta.ke.down.this.book -- sit by the fire, take down the book,
and.slowly.read,and.dream.of.the.soft.lookββRead slowly, chasing the eyes of the dream,
your.eyes.had.once,and.of.their.shadows.deep-- the feminine glow and deep shadows.
how.many.loved.your.moments.of.glad.grace - how many people have loved the film of your youth,
and.loved.your.beauty.with.love.false.or.true - loved your beauty, with hypocrisy or true affection,
but.one.man.loved.the.pilgrim.soul.in.you - the only one who loves the heart of your pilgrim,
and.loved.the.sorrows.of.your.changing.face -- love the traces of time on your mourning face.
and.bending.down.beside.the.glowing.bars -- by the grate, you bend down,
murmur, a.little.sadly, how.love.fled-whispered, with a shallow sadness,
and.paced.upon.the.mountains.overhead -- how love dies, and how it goes up the mountains,
and.hid.his.face.amid.a.crowd.of.stars - how to hide your face among the stars.
Although this is a poem about love, it is not an exaggeration to use it in the friendship between the four of them.
