CHAPTER XXVIII
In the shared room, Da Zheng had a serious expression: "It's not good for you to do this." ”
Li Hao lit a cigarette in his right hand and looked at the ground: "I know, I have already told her." ”
"But she didn't say yes, did she?" Da Zheng hit the nail on the head, "What if Cheng Yang knows?" ”
"She won't know, as long as you don't say it."
"Of course I won't say it, but have you ever thought about what to do if she finds Cheng Yang directly one day and says this? You know she's going to find it. ”
Li Hao was silent again, in this conversation, he was silent more and more, and the silence was getting longer and longer, and it seemed that the conversation could not be carried out, Da Zheng waited patiently for a long time, or waited until he said: "I will protect Cheng Yang." ”
Da Zheng sighed: "Such a good girl, alas. ”
The cigarette was quickly finished, Li Hao lit another one for himself, Da Zheng ignored him, sighed and walked away.
"Xiaoqi, I'll wait for you downstairs, let's talk." Li Hao stood downstairs in a luxury villa, did not ring the doorbell, and half-leaned against the wall and smoked.
Soon a woman with red eyes ran out, poked her head out and looked outside the door before seeing Li Hao, her mouth pouted: "What else do you want to say?" Sure enough, he still had to come to comfort himself, every time there was a conflict in the past, he would go downstairs to her house and wait for her in the future.
But this time Li Hao didn't come to comfort her.
"How are you thinking about it?"
The woman was stunned, what to consider?
"Anyway, I've thought about it, let's break up, I still want to be with the person I like." Li Hao's expression was resolute, "I'm sorry, Xiaoqi." ”
Xiao Qi's originally red eyes directly shed tears: "Why? What is she better than me? I can give you what she can give you, and I can give you what she can't give you! I'm so good to you, is she better than me? ”
Li Hao took the cigarette off his mouth and sandwiched it between his fingers: "I haven't known her for a long time, but I can feel that I am suitable for her, you can indeed give me what she can't give, but I think clearly, relying on women is a kind of self-destructive and self-respecting thing, although I have average ability, I should still take the responsibility of raising women." ”
"I can't help you! It's up to you to fight for yourself! But is that a reason for you to give up loving me? ”
"Actually," Li Hao took a deep puff of his cigarette, as if emboldened, "I have never loved you, it was because of your identity before, and then because you were very good to me." ”
Xiao Qi's eyes widened, looking at the man in front of him who had been with her for more than a year and now said that he didn't love her at all, and he looked back calmly, Xiao Qi slapped him on the left side of his face in anger.
"pia-" was very loud, his face was thrown sideways, Li Hao did not evade, he was not angry, he had long known that saying this was tantamount to looking for a fight, but it was better to say some words, otherwise it would be difficult for him to face the conscience that he had suppressed for more than a year.
What's more, these things are what he has wanted to say for a long time, and now that he has said it, his heart is happy.
"I don't accept it! I'm not going to let go! ”
Xiao Qi threw down this sentence as if declaring war, closed the door and ran back, the sound of the iron door "bang-" woke Li Hao up completely, in fact, he and she were originally people from two worlds, weren't they?
Now that he has a reason to return to his world, it's time for both of them to see the reality clearly.
After taking the last puff of cigarette, Li Hao threw the cigarette butt that had not been extinguished on the ground, skillfully stepped on it with the tip of his shoe, pulled the camel-colored windbreaker on his body, and then left without looking back.
But he didn't expect that she would really leave her identity as the eldest lady and come to fight and make trouble like a shrew, and Cheng Yang was obviously frightened - she didn't know anything.
Originally, Xiao Qi just threw things and scolded loudly, so he couldn't stop him and went with her, anyway, he could still afford these things in KTV, but he didn't expect her to spill her anger on Cheng Yang, and he wanted to pounce directly.
By the time he reacted, it was too late, and the two of them were already nose to nose.
Qiao Jinghui is an outlier, no one thought that she would suddenly appear here now, and the way she appeared obviously calmed everyone, he hoped that her loud voice could also suppress Xiaoqi, but no.
Not at all, Cheng Yang didn't react at all, and injury seemed inevitable.
However, Qiao Jinghui didn't believe in the word "no"!
She rushed over at a speed beyond everyone's reach and tore Xiao Qi's expensive clothes directly, although this move did not achieve the effect she expected, but successfully made Xiao Qi stop the attack.
From Li Hao's point of view, he could even see Qiao Jinghui breathing a long sigh of relief, Cheng Yang was not injured, in order to prevent Xiaoqi from being uncontrollable again, Qiao Jinghui threw her out as soon as she stretched out her hand, not to mention the women on the scene, even the men were stunned, she was a woman! Is it innate divine power? How can it be barbaric to such an extent.
Only then did Li Hao realize that this woman who was stronger than some men was Cheng Yang's best friend - Qiao Jinghui.
In the past few days of acquaintance, Qiao Jinghui has almost become a god and a legend in Cheng Yang's mouth, and no one has seen her except for some of Cheng Yang's colleagues, if he hadn't seen Cheng Yang receive a call from Qiao Jinghui when he met for the first time, he would have wondered if there really was such a person.
It turns out that Cheng Yang is really not an exaggeration, this woman with long hair and cool clothes is really as powerful and responsible as a man, and even better than him.
Qiao Jinghui glanced at him lightly, and he reacted excitedly, he shouldn't be a bystander, in the final analysis, he caused this matter himself, so he walked over and said, "Xiaoyang, are you okay?" ”
On the contrary, Qiao Jinghui frowned, and pushed him away without waiting for Cheng Yang to answer, and said in an unkind tone: "Idle people, wait and go away!" ”
Li Hao was about to refute that he was not an idle person, but Xiao Qi, who had been 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! ”
Unexpectedly, Qiao Jinghui chuckled and said: "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 beat is my person, if you dare to touch her, I will definitely make you unable to get out today." ”
Xiao Qi sneered, there are really not many people who dare to threaten her when they are so big, and there are not many who have an identity to threaten her: "You think I will be afraid of your threat?" ”
At this time, a little nurse sitting next to Cheng Yang said cautiously: "It's better not to mess with her, she has fought as a soldier and fought with gangsters, so you better not hit a stone with an egg." ”
Taking advantage of Qiao Jinghui's glance at the little nurse, Li Hao hurriedly interjected and said to Xiao Qi: "Come with me, don't make trouble." ”
Xiao Qi shook Li Hao's hand and was about to scold again, but Li Hao grabbed in front of her and said: "I'm sorry for you?" It's none of Xiaoyang's business, let's go out and talk about it. "As a man, it was a shame for a woman to come to make trouble so facelessly, and a man is a little temperamental.
As a result, Qiao Jinghui didn't give face at all: "Don't call a 'Xiaoyang' so affectionately, I haven't agreed yet." ”
Li Hao's expression froze, and when he saw Cheng Yang pull Qiao Jinghui's sleeve, he thought that as long as Xiao Yang was not angry, he said embarrassedly: "Let's go first, I'm really embarrassed about today's incident." Then take off her coat and drape it on Xiao Qi, you can't let her back be bare and just go out.
After going out, Xiao Qi shook off his hand: "I thought you had found such a powerful character, and I didn't have the power to fight back at all when I made such a fuss, did you find such a soft egg?" Or are you lying to me in the first place, and she's not the person you like at all? ”
Li Hao frowned: "You are really enough!" Xiaoyang is so good-tempered and doesn't care about you, do you think everyone is so good-tempered? If Xiao Yang hadn't stopped you just now, wouldn't you have skinned you if you didn't see that woman? ”
Xiao Qi didn't give up: "So you really like her?" ”
Once a woman has a temper, she always has the ability to ignore everything except what she wants to know, Li Hao replied to her helplessly: "Yes, I like her, I like her very much." ”
Xiao Qi looked at him steadily, his eyes were full of tears that were too late to fall, and he had never looked at him with such serious eyes, some were satisfied, some were happy, some were moved, some were angry, and some were coquettish, but he had never been so serious that he looked at him as if he wanted to see him through, with sadness and despair in his eyes.
In the end, Xiao Qi looked away and called the driver: "Come in and pick me up now, yes, now, I'm in the hall on the first floor." ”
Then he raised his head and said slowly: "Li Hao, this is the most embarrassing time I have grown up so much, I will not forget this shame, you will get retribution." ”
The driver was a middle-aged man, wearing a black suit with white stripes, and Xiao Qi was still repeating the sentence: "You, you will definitely get retribution." ”
After speaking, he threw Li Hao's coat on the ground, stretched out his hand in front of the driver, the driver is also a person with eyesight, when he saw that this situation was wrong, the eldest lady's back still seemed to be torn, and now he threw Li Hao's coat away, and stretched out his hand to himself, the driver quickly took off his suit without saying a word and respectfully put it on the eldest lady.
It seems that these two people are quarreling? Recently, the eldest lady has always been in a bad mood, and Li Hao has not often gone in pairs with the eldest lady.
Today's young people, it's just noisy all day long, and some people say that they love and kill each other, it's really bloody and violent, why can't you talk about love quietly and then get married when life is so good?
Watching Xiao Qi slowly walk away, Li Hao bent down to pick up his coat, shook the ash casually, put it on his wrist, and walked to the front desk: "There are some things in the private room that have been accidentally damaged, and when you go in to see it later, calculate how much money you will lose, I will send a sum of money to your account first, and I will call back the rest." ”
The front desk lady smiled and nodded.
After explaining the loss of money, Li Hao glanced at the direction of the elevator, and then walked out.
I'm sorry, Xiaoyang, not only scared you but also wronged you, you should be quiet first, I will come back to you later, don't worry, I can explain.
Out of the building, he glanced around at the cars around, none of them were familiar, Li Hao smiled, didn't hail a taxi, and walked forward so casually.
When he first met Xiaoqi, he was not surprised, because that road was the only way for her to find the general manager every time, and he had long heard that someone was going to stumble her on the road, but he didn't expect it to happen to him.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Qi squatted on the side and rubbed her ankles helplessly, and she didn't know who put a few stones on the ground, and her stiletto heels stepped on it and broke her feet directly, but fortunately the heels were not broken, otherwise they would have been big. But her ankle hurts, and if she knew who was in charge of cleaning the area today, she would have to ask her father to fine him a month's wages! Hum!
Li Hao was still a small clerk at this time, the kind that he usually couldn't even see the faces of big people, and he was buried in the lattice all day long doing the lowest and most tedious work, and his thick spectacle lenses and deep eye sockets were the testimony of his workload.
He suddenly had an urgent need to go to the toilet, but the team leader was urging him to finish his work quickly, so he had to go to the toilet in a short distance, but he didn't expect to meet their company's proud daughter - Xiaoqi when he was about to arrive at the toilet.
He tiptoed over, but was stopped by her when he was about to pass by: "Hey! You don't even know who helped me up! Can't you see that my feet hurt? ”
He was stunned: "If your feet hurt, you should rest even more, and it hurts more to stand up and walk." ”
"You-"
"Where are you going? If you don't mind, I can carry you over. ”
Instead, Xiaoqi was stunned, the man in front of him looked depressed at first glance, and when he saw her, he was neither humble nor arrogant as if he didn't know her, maybe he really didn't know him? She suddenly wanted to see if he would be so calm after knowing her identity, so she said, "I'm going to the general manager's office, I'm his daughter." ”
Unexpectedly, this man: "Oh. ”
Xiao Qi was so angry that he stretched out his hands and said coquettishly: "Since you said that you carried me, then carry me quickly." ”
Later, when Xiaoqi came to the company again, she gradually noticed this man who was indifferent to her identity, she found that he was very serious about his work, so he intentionally or unintentionally mentioned a few words to her father, her father was very conscious, and knew that his girl was in love with someone, although this person's status is not high, and his family background is average, but the status of this kind of thing is not earned, and now as long as he stretches out a hand, it is even easier.
Xiao Qi was very kind to him, and he was brought lunch every day, and sometimes he would invite him to dinner with her father, and then he was slowly promoted, and he also had the right to enter her house.
It's like her reserve husband.
He originally thought that he would live this life like this, until he met Cheng Yang.
For him, Cheng Yang is different, she came late that day, sat beside him without choice, her little nose would wrinkle slightly when she drank, and after drinking, she would use her tongue to shyly lick the residual wine off her lips, and when she ate food, she always had to pick it into the bowl first, and then put it in her mouth slowly.
The whole process seemed very reserved, but it wasn't until the end of the meal that he realized that it wasn't reserved, it was just her eating habits.
What a cute eating habit.
He sent her home, staring out the window blindfolded all the way, and when she got out of the car, she still wanted to pay the fare, hehe, it's funny, how could he, a big man, let a woman pay the fare? But because the situation was "urgent", she forcibly threw down the money and ran away.
Li Hao thought to himself, who is this best friend, who makes her afraid of being like this?
Then he had a heat stroke, and it was really hard to go to the hospital at that time, and to make up a decent set of rhetoric. Fortunately, she was there, otherwise it would have been a waste of his patience not to come to the hospital for so long, but he didn't expect to turn around and meet her after he had just vomited in the toilet.
And she was obviously taken aback, and shouted directly, which woke up Li Hao, and her mind was a lot clearer, worthy of doing this, she could see at a glance that he was suffering from heat stroke, and then he obediently listened to her to find a doctor, grab medicine, and go home to sleep.
This trip doesn't have much significance, but it reminds her that there is such a person as herself, as for the progress, take your time, don't rush.
Then on the third day, I went to the door again, under the pretext that I needed to issue a certificate, in fact, the illness was already cured, but it was very unfortunate, she was still very busy when she was about to get off work, and she was busy after pointing him in the direction, so he had to finish the work quickly, and then wait for her downstairs.
But after waiting for a while Cheng Yang didn't come down, Li Hao stood up and went to the inpatient department, and as soon as he walked to the side of the elevator, he saw a group of people who looked like hospital staff coming out of it, and the one at the beginning should be a doctor.
Li Hao stopped someone at the back of the line: "What floor did you come down from?" ”
The man gave him a strange look: "6th floor." ”
"Thank you." Li Hao went into the elevator and went up to the sixth floor.
successfully met Cheng Yang, the two must have been fated, and he had already appeared in front of him before he started looking for her, so he smiled unconsciously.
generously invited her to lunch, but she said that she was going back to make lunch for Qiao Jinghui! Who is this Qiao Jinghui? actually let Xiao Yang serve her like a master!
So he laughed and said, "Doesn't she know how to cook herself?" Are you so busy at work and take care of her like a babysitter? This was opposed by the parties concerned.
As a result, he also saw the high position of Qiao Jinghui in her heart, which I am afraid is beyond his reach now, isn't it! Why do you compare yourself to a woman?
But he still had to take this opportunity to give the gift, Cheng Yang obviously didn't expect that he would suddenly give her a gift, and he fooled it with two casual words, saying that he almost believed that this was really a worthless gadget on the stall.
If you don't eat, don't eat, as long as she accepts this gift, it means that she doesn't reject him, then as long as he works hard, there is hope, before that day comes, he won't tell her that this inconspicuous gadget was customized by him at a famous carpenter's shop, and he just got the goods in the morning, and he came to her after work.
Xiaoyang is really a very simple girl, I believe what he says and believes in their future, but in fact, he doesn't believe it himself.
Darkness gradually fell, lights began to light up everywhere, colorful neon lights of various shapes flickered in front of him, Li Hao stopped at the cross street, this is Xiao Qi's favorite commercial street, he also came with Xiao Yang.
It's already night, but the number of people has not decreased at all, this is a big city, night and day are seamless, few people believe it, he is actually Tibetan, but he has followed his mother's appearance since he was a child, and then he came out to work very early.
He was 17 years old that year, his mother and father divorced, he followed his mother to Sichuan, and began a seemingly endless road of part-time work, he did everything, and basically did all the hard work, and then read the night shift to start from the text, fortunately was admitted to Xiaoqi's father's company, and then held Xiaoqi's hand step by step to advance to the current position.
He is 27 years old this year, and he has been in Sichuan for ten years, and his mother is still working in the factory, but he can only do one shift in three shifts a day, and his father has long lost contact and I don't know what is going on.
Sometimes I think about it, people are really old, and they don't have anything to talk about with the little nurses brought by Da Zheng, and they don't bother to talk about it.
When people get old, they want to settle down, and they don't want to be swaying anymore, and this idea was born the moment he saw Cheng Yang, thinking of this, he was even more sure of the idea that he wanted to be with Cheng Yang for the rest of his life.
He won't give up.
"Hey, Mom, well, I'll be back in a few days."
Qiao Jinghui sat on the sofa and called Qiao's mother, and Qiao's mother asked, "Did Cheng Yang play a friend?" ”
"No, what's wrong?" Usually Qiao's mother asks her if she is in love, how did she think of asking Cheng Yang today, oh no, Qiao Jinghui thought of a possibility, Qiao's mother wanted to use Cheng Yang to stimulate her.
Qiao's mother didn't play her cards according to common sense, and said: "That's good." ”
"What?"
Qiao Jinghui couldn't help but speak, Qiao's mother said: "Your father and I are going to stay with you for two days tomorrow, and by the way, we will go to the city to play two turns, I haven't played well in Chengdu for many years, it's too troublesome to drive, we take the train, and the tickets have already been bought." ”
No wonder I want to ask Cheng Yang if he is in love, if he has a boyfriend, it is not appropriate for them to come and live: "Oh, that's okay, I'll tell Cheng Yang later, tell her to clean up the room, do you want me to pick you up tomorrow?" ”
Qiao's mother laughed over there: "If you don't clean up and ask Cheng Yang to clean up, who are you?" We'll go to the North Station, and if you're okay, come and pick us up. ”
"Well, I don't have any big deals, it's still a little far from the North Railway Station, I'll borrow a car to pick you up."
"Which car are you borrowing?"
"The former class president." After speaking, I felt that it was necessary to explain, so as not to mess with my parents to order the mandarin duck score, "He likes Hua Wen, so I can borrow his car." "Speaking of Hua Wen, I suddenly miss it a little bit again
"Okay, you pay attention to safety."
Qiao Jinghui went to learn to drive during the winter vacation of her junior year, and successfully obtained a driver's license, for which she also added credits - the school's policy. Although there are not many opportunities to drive in the time since then - Qiao's father has to drive to work, and she is not easy to practice, and she has not bought a car until now, but when she is in the army, she will always seize every opportunity to get started driving, and after coming out of the army, she once took over a job as a substitute driver, but after two or three times, she felt that it was too much time, so forget it.
"I'll go back with you when you're done, it's convenient, I'll go buy a train ticket back now, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it."
Qiao's mother was very satisfied and hung up the phone happily.
turned around and showed off to Qiao's father: "Look at the woman I raised, she is sensible and obedient, other people's babies must hear that they can't win, and our children like to stay with their parents." ”
Qiao's father said, "Didn't I raise it too?" ”
Qiao's mother: "Let's go, go wash your face and feet, sleep, and catch the train tomorrow." ”
