Chapter 71: The Finale

Since Sun Xiaoxiao met Qin Ke that time, the relationship between the two has been much closer than before, and the other party asked her to play tennis a few times, seeing what he meant, he wanted to teach an apprentice. Novel|

Sun Xiaoxiao has learned a few times, but it is still difficult to improve her skills, her talent in sports has always been ordinary, and she can't talk about love, but she can't bear to refuse him because she sees Qin Ke's face. The final result was that the master was not in a hurry, but the apprentice was in a hurry, "Brother Qin, since you like to play tennis so much, let's find a professional person to play with you, I really am not this material." ”

Qin Ke wiped his sweat with a towel, smiled indifferently, and looked ahead, "Actually, I don't like to play tennis, I just kill time." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao wondered even more in his heart, his identity is extraordinary, he is in charge of several fields below, shouldn't he be very busy, right, why do you still need to find things to kill time?

Qin Ke rested for a while, then turned his head and asked her, "Don't you like to play, do you like to climb mountains?" ”

For Sun Xiaoxiao, Qin Ke is both a benefactor and a friend, the significance is extraordinary, for what he proposed, she has never refused, nodded immediately, compared to playing ball, it seems that climbing the mountain is more interesting.

Qin Ke was satisfied, "Send someone to pick you up that weekend." ”

So, Sun Xiaoxiao accompanied Qin Ke to climb the mountain a few times, such frequent invitations, if it weren't for Sun Xiaoxiao's long-term acquaintance with him, and his absolute trust and reliance on him, he would really think that he had something strange about her.

When climbing the mountain, Qin Ke has always walked in front, he is very fast, seeing that Sun Xiaoxiao is too far behind, he will stop and wait for her to ride, in addition, most of the time he does not say a word, occasionally says something, and asks about her study.

And Sun Xiaoxiao doesn't know much about his world, so he won't ask him too much, the other party asks, she answers, and the other party doesn't ask, so she doesn't say anything.

The mountain climbed is not a famous mountain, and there is no scenery along the way, just bury your head in walking, it is really just to kill time.

Qin Ke said: "Whether it's climbing mountains or playing ball, I like outdoor sports, but it's too stuffy in the house." ”

When he said this, he was standing on the top of the cliff on the top of the mountain, and the cold wind on the top of the mountain was blowing against him, and the windbreaker was blowing. Sun Xiaoxiao looked at him from behind, in her impression, his back has always been broad and tall, and he can hold up the sky alone, but this time, his back looks a little small and lonely.

Sun Xiaoxiao doesn't know much about his private life, but she also knows that there is never a shortage of people around him, so she really doesn't understand, why does he seem so lonely?

^^^^^^^^^

Maybe he got too close to Qin Ke, but on this day, Sun Xiaoxiao ushered in an uninvited guest-Liao Shiyu.

"Miss Liao?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly.

The weather is getting cooler, Liao Shiyu is wearing a dark black coat, and she looks much haggard than before, but her cold and lonely appearance is more in line with her temperament of not eating fireworks in the world.

Liao Shiyu smiled at her and asked, "Are you free?" Can I delay you a little longer? ”

Since the other party asked so, Sun Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't refuse, she still had classes in the afternoon, she couldn't go too far, thinking of Liao Shiyu's identity, and she couldn't go to places where there were too many people, so she could only come to the school lake and find a slightly remote bench to sit down.

After sitting down, Liao Shiyu opened her mouth and asked, "You have been very close to Qin Ke recently?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be a little frightened, could it be that the other party came to Xingshi to ask for guilt? She didn't know how to explain it, so she could only say, "I'm not the kind of relationship you think he is!" ”

"I know!" Liao Shiyu said, a hint of self-deprecation flashed on his face, "I hope that you have that kind of relationship, at least better than him alone." ”

When the other party said this, Sun Xiaoxiao was a little confused.

Liao Shiyu looked at Sun Xiaoxiao with a light smile: "You must be very curious, what is the relationship between me and Qin Ke?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to say, I wasn't really curious, but the other party asked so, and she could only nod.

"Speaking of which, he never acknowledged our relationship, or we didn't have anything to do with each other at all." Liao Shiyu was still self-deprecating, and then continued: "My parents have some friendship with Xiaochen's parents, I met Xiaochen first, and then I met Qin Ke, Xiaochen has always liked me, how could I not know, but I only think he is a younger brother, until I met Qin Ke, I was more sure of this idea." The first time I met Qin Ke, I knew that this was the man I wanted to marry, but this man who was born dazzling and had his own light never took me to heart, but I didn't give up, I thought that as long as I was willing to work hard, as long as I was willing to wait, as long as I was persistent enough, one day he would notice me, it was my wishful thinking......"

She said: "For so many years, what should be done, what should not be done, I have done it, he likes to ride a horse, I learned to ride a horse, he likes to play tennis, I learned to play tennis, he likes to climb mountains, I accompany him to climb mountains, in front of him, I have no self-esteem at all, I also know that loving someone should not be like this, you must first love yourself, and then you can love others, but I really have no other way!" But even so, he still didn't take me seriously! ”

She looked at Sun Xiaoxiao, barely sketched a wry smile on her pale face, and said faintly: "I went to him yesterday, I told him that I couldn't hold on, I was ready to give up, do you know what he told me?" He said thank you, thank you for doing so much for him. I didn't even say sorry, just thank you, yes, he said a long time ago, he couldn't like me, I didn't give up, I took the blame, he never felt sorry for me, so naturally he didn't have to apologize to me. Thank you? He never cared about what I had done for him, and even this thank you was probably just a polite word, not a sincere one. ”

Sun Xiaoxiao didn't speak, she didn't know much about Liao Shiyu, and she didn't know much about the entanglement between them, even if she wanted to comfort, she didn't have much sincerity, so it was better not to say it.

Liao Shiyu took a deep breath, this confident and radiant pianist on the stage, this will just try not to let herself lose too much, she said: "I know now that even if I really die for him, he won't blink, anyway, I am not the only one who has died for him." I wanted to hate him, but I couldn't, because I knew that there was a knot in his heart, and if this knot was not untied, he would continue to be in fear, and he would be atoning for his sins, and he would be in pain. I sometimes wonder if it's because he's been too hard-hearted all along, so he has fallen into such a retribution? ”

^^^^^^^^^

Liao Shiyu was completely immersed in her sad atmosphere, Gu Zi said, but Sun Xiaoxiao could only listen to a rough idea, she didn't know much about Qin Ke's private life, now it seems that between him and Liao Shiyu, she has always been in unrequited love, no wonder Qiao Yu hates Qin Ke so much, he likes Liao Shiyu, and naturally he will be upset for her.

Liao Shiyu finished telling her story, calmed down a little, and then turned to Sun Xiaoxiao and said: "I know that you are not that kind of relationship, at least not now, I tell you this, I just hope you don't fall into it stupidly like me." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao didn't know how to respond, so he could only emphasize again: "He once helped me, I am very grateful to him, and the relationship between me and him will never be the kind of relationship you think." ”

"But Xiaochen said you like him!" Liao Shiyu frowned, but was a little confused, "Didn't he go to the United States because of this?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao shook her head, it seems that Liao Shiyu's news there is also a little outdated, she said: "We didn't break up for this reason, he went to the United States just to film." ”

Liao Shiyu listened confusedly, and couldn't help but shake her head, she didn't seem to be too interested in the matter between Sun Xiaoxiao and Qiao Yu, she just needed an audience, so she came to find Sun Xiaoxiao, other things were not in the scope of her concern, she just said casually: "Actually, it's not just me who misunderstood, his cousin also died because of Qin Ke, and he hasn't even found the bones until now, plus you, it seems that as long as he cares about people, all of them will not escape Qin Ke's magic barrier, and it is reasonable that he will collapse." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao's face changed in vain, "Cousin? What cousin? ”

Liao Shiyu was also surprised, "You don't know? Didn't Qin Ke tell you? ”

Sun Xiaoxiao shook his head blankly, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to come out.

Liao Shiyu saw that she really didn't know, so she said: "Her cousin is the knot in Qin Ke's heart, she is also obsessed with Qin Ke like me, and then I don't know why she disappeared, and her life and death are still unknown." I only know that Xiaochen's parents are abroad all the year round and care little about him, after he returned to China from middle school, he has been living in this cousin's house, and the relationship between the two is very good, after the cousin disappeared, his relationship with Qin Ke was stiff. ”

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard it, and she couldn't speak for a while, she only knew that Qiao Yu had a deep friendship with Qin Ke, and knew that Qiao Yu had always disliked seeing Qin Ke, and had always thought that it was because of Liao Shiyu's relationship, but she never thought that there were some such reasons behind this.

Therefore, when he knew that she had collected Qin Ke's magazines and knew that she had been secretly in love with Qin Ke, would he have such a big reaction? He didn't want her to repeat his cousin's mistakes, he had never told her!

^^^^^^^^^

When the New Year was approaching, Qiao Yu returned to China and asked Sun Xiaoxiao to have dinner together, and this time, Sun Xiaoxiao did not refuse.

Qiao Yu was not very happy, he said, "I am waiting for you in the parking lot of your school, and you will call me when you arrive." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you have all the kitchen utensils at home?" ”

Qiao Yu was stunned, "It should be complete, the decoration company has purchased it uniformly, but it has never been moved." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exhale, but still said: "Don't go out to eat, it's not good to be photographed, I'll go grocery shopping and cook some by myself." ”

The person on the other end of the line sounded a little distressed, and he said, "I'm not very good at burning." ”

Not really? It's not going to be good at all! Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh, "I know, I will." Then he said, "What do you want to eat, send me the menu, I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I just went to buy groceries." ”

Qiao Yu looked a little flattered, "I'll accompany you-" Halfway through, he knew that the other party would not agree, so he simply didn't seek bad luck, and said again: "I don't care, you just have an idea." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao didn't say anything more, anyway, no one knew the other party's preferences better than her.

Considering that Qiao Yu doesn't know how to cook herself, Sun Xiaoxiao only buys rice and vegetables for one meal, but with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there are a lot of things, she got out of the subway entrance, and was about to wait until she entered the community before calling the other party, but she saw him driving a car and parking next to her.

"Didn't you stop coming out?" Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but complain while getting into the car.

"Come out and buy something." Qiao Yu explained embarrassedly.

Sun Xiaoxiao glanced at the back seat, but saw a pair of women's slippers in the convenience bag, and wanted to say something, but they all pressed it.

^^^^^^^^^

Sun Xiaoxiao is not very good at cooking, and with limited preparation time, he can't come up with any other tricks, that is, home-cooked fried shrimp with broccoli, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a green vegetable tofu soup. Such three dishes and one soup, usually eaten by two people, is not a few, but for big stars, it is naturally a little simpler.

When cooking, Qiao Yu wanted to help, but Sun Xiaoxiao didn't let her, she still knew this person very well, and she was afraid that he would help more and more, so she sent him to peel garlic, and when her meal was served, the big star's garlic was just peeled, and she couldn't use it, so keep it for the big star to ward off evil spirits.

The winter outside the window is strong, time flies so fast, the first time I came to the big star's house, it seems to be yesterday, the other party disliked her at that time, and didn't even want her to enter the door, who would have thought that the two would have a day of sitting and eating together?

While eating, Qiao Yu looked at Sun Xiaoxiao from time to time while eating, and the corners of his mouth were raised inadvertently, looking very satisfied.

Big stars have been picky eaters for a long time, broccoli fried shrimp, he only picks the shrimp inside to eat, ignores the broccoli on the side, tomato scrambled eggs, he only eats eggs, ignores tomatoes, Sun Xiaoxiao saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but say: "You can't just eat meat, you also have to eat some vegetarian." ”

Qiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at her timidly, "I'll just eat green vegetables." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao picked these dishes, naturally for a reason, she said: "I cut it into small pieces, to taste better, if I don't like it, I can eat less, but I can't stop eating." ”

Qiao Yu was a little aggrieved, but he still picked a few broccoli that he had never disdained before with chopsticks into his mouth, chewed it a few times and swallowed it.

The big star cooperated so much, Sun Xiaoxiao felt that she was too harsh, everyone has their own preferences, why did she force him, and immediately picked a piece of ribs into the other party's bowl to compensate.

Qiao Yu got the ribs, and his eyebrows and eyes that had been drooping all the time bloomed again, and he said: "This is the best shrimp and pork ribs I have ever tasted." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao smiled, what kind of good restaurant has a big star never visited, this is 200% a compliment, but at first glance, it is quite useful.

Sun Xiaoxiao wanted to ask the other party about the deceased cousin, but after all, she didn't ask, she was sad about the past, she didn't mention it, she knew in her heart that this was enough.

^^^^^^^^^

After the meal, Sun Xiaoxiao washed the dishes, and Qiao Yu dried them with a towel on the side, and the cooperation was smooth.

"How long do you have to graduate?" Qiao Yu asked as he worked.

"Three and a half years, the last year is basically an internship in the hospital, and if you can transfer to a seven-year program, you have to add another two years."

Qiao Yu didn't seem to have thought that he would have to study for so long, and was slightly frightened, and only asked after a while: "Then in terms of your tuition, is it okay?" If you need toβ€”"

Halfway through speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Xiaoxiao, "I know!" Sun Xiaoxiao said: "I told my family about the resumption of school, and they were very happy, especially my father, who said that my brother's illness has stabilized, and the family is much more financially well-off, so I don't have to worry about tuition fees." ”

Because of the suspension of school, Sun Xiaoxiao and his father have always had a grudge, which is naturally a good thing to be able to release their previous suspicions, and Qiao Yu was not very pleased to hear it. He knew that Sun Xiaoxiao had always had strong self-esteem, and in terms of money, he was even more clear, and he refused to accept even more expensive gifts, and he didn't dare to help lightly, so as not to be bored, so he only asked: "Then do you want to go home during the winter vacation?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao lowered his head and washed the dishes intently, "I will go back in a few days for the Chinese New Year, before that, I have to go to Shu Shao's crew to help him." ”

Qiao Yu was a little stunned, but he still nodded, didn't make much comments, and asked after a while: "Do you still live in the same apartment before?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao shook his head, "Dormitory, just register with the school." ”

Qiao Yu hesitated for a moment, as if he was still considering, he said: "There are few people during the winter vacation, it is not safe to live in the dormitory, I have a house that is empty now, you go and live!" It seemed that he was afraid that Sun Xiaoxiao would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "It's not this one, it's another one, it's very close to your school, and it's convenient for you to move, anyway, it's empty-it's empty-"

Sun Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at him suspiciously, the big star actually had a property near the school, why didn't she know?

Qiao Yu was more and more heartbroken by her, but he still looked back at her stubbornly: "What are you looking at me for?" I don't really mean anything else. ”

How could a big star's words and deeds be hidden from Sun Xiaoxiao's eyes, but she couldn't bear to poke him, so she only nodded, "I will be in the crew most of the time, and I will only have a handful of time to stay here, and it doesn't matter where I live." ”

Qiao Yu responded, obviously disappointed.

After washing the dishes, it was not too early, Sun Xiaoxiao proposed to go back to school, Qiao Yu had no reason to keep her, so she could only let her go back, "I'll send you!" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao hurriedly kept him, "No need, it's very convenient for me to take the subway." ”

Qiao Yu hurriedly said: "If I don't go in, just send it to the vicinity of the school." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao still refused to let go, she didn't want to cause a lot of trouble for no reason, Qiao Yu couldn't insist anymore, so she could only retreat, "Then I'll send you downstairs." ”

In the elevator, Qiao Yu was a little sullen, looked at Sun Xiaoxiao several times, and finally asked: "Is there a final exam soon, have you reviewed it all?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Review it." ”

Qiao Yu pointed to her eyes and said, "Don't work too hard, I see you have dark circles under your eyes!" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao subconsciously took a picture of the elevator, "No! "Although studying is hard, there is no psychological burden, and it will be easier than the days when I used to be an assistant, when I often turned day and night upside down and was scared.

Qiao Yu walked closer, slid his fingers lightly under her eyes, only to feel that his hands were soft and smooth, and it felt wonderful, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, "Here, a little." ”

The two were close to each other, each other's breath was close at hand, they were once extremely familiar, but they didn't dare to get too close, for fear of attracting the other party's disgust, Qiao Yu subconsciously took a step back, put his hand back in the handbag, and coughed his head back to hide his embarrassment.

It wasn't until his fingertips touched a hard object that Qiao Yu remembered/ordered something, took out a photo from his pocket and handed it to the other party, "By the way, I met Hughlaurie over there this time, and I asked for an autograph by the way, which is the one who is very famous for acting in doctor dramas." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao smiled, "I know." Looking at the other party's deliberate estrangement, he was a little distressed, and couldn't help but step forward and hug the other party, "I like it very much, thank you!" ”

The elevator arrived in a blink of an eye, and before parting, Qiao Yu dragged her, and he asked, "I'm a star, will it be your trouble?" ”

He asked this very lightly and slowly, and in his eyes, there was timidity, hesitation, expectation, persistence, and stubbornness.

Sun Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, although she knew that the other party's words had a deep meaning, but she still shook her head, she looked at him and said, "No, I'm used to it." ”

^^^^^^^^^

During the winter vacation, Sun Xiaoxiao went to the crew to help Shu Kai, first, to pass the time, and secondly, to earn some living expenses for himself.

Halfway, Shu Kai needed to go back to City B to participate in an event, and Sun Xiaoxiao accompanied him, but unexpectedly met Liao Yiwei at the airport, Sun Xiaoxiao recognized her first, and couldn't help but say hello, "Sister Liao, are you also filming here?" ”

Liao Yiwei nodded, "Yes!" After that, she smiled and nodded to Shu Kai behind her, and then took the assistant to the other corner and sat down.

Liao Yiwei's flight was earlier than Shu Kai's, after she boarded the plane, Sun Xiaoxiao glanced at Shu Kai who was swiping Weibo beside her, the current relationship between the two is that there are more friends than superiors, not as restrained as before, and she speaks more casually, she asked Shu Kai: "Last time Liao Yiwei went to S City, did he go to find you?" ”

Shu Kai's hand holding the phone shook unconsciously, but he still managed to hold on to his composure, "Which time, why don't I remember?" ”

At this time, she could still hold garlic, Sun Xiaoxiao couldn't help but pout, "It's the time she and Qiao Yu were photographed at the airport!" ”

Shu Kai glanced at her, and when he saw her cunning face, he knew that there was no hope of escaping, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, frowning and asking, "How do you know?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao smiled, "It stands to reason that she should be more familiar with you, she and Qiao Yu still talk and laugh, and they have never deliberately avoided it in front of people, but they are so angry with you, isn't it strange?" Did you pick up the keys with me that day just to pick her up at the airport? ”

Shu Kai's face was not good-looking, "Whether it's a send, it's not a pick-up, it's already a thing of the past." ”

Sun Xiaoxiao was taken aback, "You broke up?" ”

Shu Kai quickly swiped Weibo, and replied casually: "I've never been together, so why don't you break up?" ”

Sun Xiaoxiao seemed to know something, "It turns out that Liao Yiwei didn't just want to avoid suspicion, she was avoiding you, she was blaming you!" Could it be that you dumped her? ”

Shu Kai glared at her, but he didn't deny it, "What does she have to blame me?" People in the entertainment industry are just acting on the spot, snuggling up to each other for warmth, who will really take it seriously? ”

Sun Xiaoxiao is also in this circle, knowing that what the other party said is true, but at first glance, she is still a little unhappy, there are exceptions to everything, you shouldn't kill a boatload of people with a stick, at least in her opinion, Liao Yiwei is not that kind of person, and she couldn't help muttering: "Qiao Yu will never act on the spot." ”

Shu Kai looked at her with a smile, "Are you comparing me to Qiao Yu?" Whoever is easy-going adds one point, who has a bad temper subtracts one point, who has a true temperament adds one point, and who deducts one point for acting on the spot? ”

Shu Kai's words were a little heavy, and Sun Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean that." ”

Shu Kai shook his head, but his tone was a little lonely, "I don't blame you, I just want to say that if you really love someone, you won't have so many cares." ”

^^^^^^^^^

If you really love someone, you won't have so many cares?

On the way back, Sun Xiaoxiao kept recalling this sentence, and at an altitude of 7,000 meters, she suddenly realized.

She and Qiao Yu, between the two of them, the real problem may not be with Qiao Yu, but with her, Qiao Yu may have these and those problems, but he has never really found fault with her, but she thinks she clearly understands her mind and thinks she has paid a lot, but she is the one who cares the most.

The other party is a big star, with endless fame and wealth, it stands to reason that she should be more afraid of losing, on the other hand, she has nothing, and she should have no scruples, but between them, she has always been hesitating and retreating.

After returning to City B, Sun Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Shukai and returned to school. During the winter vacation, students and teachers have been on vacation, leaving only a few dormitory administrators on duty, and under the reflection of the New Year's atmosphere on the street, the huge campus looks particularly cold and depressed.

For so many years, Sun Xiaoxiao has been used to being alone and does not feel lonely, but this time, she feels that it should be a beautiful thing to be accompanied by someone.

After being lonely for a long time, I also hope that someone can snuggle together for warmth.

She called Qiao Yu's phone, and the other party quickly answered.

"Are you in City B?" Sun Xiaoxiao asked.

"Yes." Qiao Yu replied.

"You told me before that you have a house that is empty and no one lives in, is it still empty?"

"It's empty."

The sky that has been silent suddenly floated with large snowflakes like goose feathers, Sun Xiaoxiao raised her head and looked up at the sky, the snowflakes hit her face, and she felt unbridled and happy like never before.

The story doesn't end, it's just beginning.
