What Bai Qian didn't know was that there was an extra photo album in Qiao Hongchao's space, and all of it was Bai Qian's photos.

From that day on, Bai Qian no longer took the initiative to talk to Qiao Hongchao, although it was not so distant that she could not be estranged, but she no longer had her initial intimacy.

After Xie Jing went home, under the arrangement of his parents, he found a boy who was also very young, a veteran, and now he runs an electric car repair department by himself after changing jobs, and he has a good life.

Xie Jing and her husband have a daughter, her husband dotes on her very much, and her in-laws are also very good to her, Xie Jing told Bai Qian that even though she has had some regrets in her life, she is getting better and better now.

Xie Jing told Bai Qian that Qiao Hongchao's mental obstacle was not himself, but his barren family background, and he wanted to really get together with Qiao Hongchao, otherwise he really didn't care, or he would find a way to change Qiao Hongchao's barrenness.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Bai Qian must change into a down jacket before going out to resist the cold wind whistling outside, after getting off work, Bai Qian would rather walk home for half an hour than do the bus, since that day and Qiao Hongchao walked that long way, Bai Qian was no longer willing to take the bus.

Almost every day, Qiao Hongchao follows behind Bai Qian, and will not take the initiative to step forward, nor will he fall behind.

A surprised voice appeared beside Bai Qian: "Qianqian, long time no see!" ”

Bai Qian saw Tang Xiaoling, who she hadn't seen for a long time, she really hadn't seen her for a long time, since she came to Shanghai from Ningxia, whether it was Bai Qian or Tang Xiaoling, they all became more beautiful, the humid air of Shanghai made the skin not dry, and everyone who had been working in the electronics factory for a long time did not see the light of day every day, and their skin became more and more white.

"It's been a long time, are you okay?" Although Bai Qian wanted to get rid of everything before, when she really saw it, she realized that her former classmates were so kind.

"Yes, many of our classmates are gone, how about you and Zhao Kaixuan, I heard that you have moved out to live, you must notify me when you get married!" I haven't seen her for a few months, but Tang Xiaoling is still so lively.

"Well, I will definitely inform you of my marriage!" Bai Qian saw a boy appear next to Tang Xiaoling, a boy who was a complete stranger.

"This is my boyfriend, and he is also from our factory, but it is from the third workshop!" Tang Xiaoling enthusiastically introduced her new boyfriend like Bai Qian!

Bai Qian saw that Tang Xiaoling and her boyfriend were outside, and it was estimated that the two of them were already living together outside: "Don't you live in the dormitory now?" ”

Tang Xiaoling didn't care: "We rented a house in the front community, and the rent was paid by my boyfriend!" He was very good to me! ”

Tang Xiaoling very warmly invited Bai Qian to her 'home' as a guest. Bai Qian couldn't shirk it for a while, so she could only follow Tang Xiaoling.

Qiao Hongchao followed to the downstairs where Tang Xiaoling lived, and waited downstairs, Bai Qian knew that Qiao Hongchao was downstairs, and sent Qiao Hongchao a text message for a day to ask Qiao Hongchao to go back first, but Qiao Hongchao ignored it.

Tang Xiaoling rented a small single room, shared with four families, with a wooden wall in the middle. There is only one bed in the room, and there are unused condoms in a very obvious position at the head of the bed, Tang Xiaoling is not embarrassed. Although Bai Qian was worried, she thought that fortunately, Tang Xiaoling's boyfriend still knew how to use condoms, at least not to get Tang Xiaoling pregnant.

Tang Xiaoling pulled Bai Qian and talked endlessly, Tang Xiaoling's boyfriend was very quiet and never interjected, just sat next to him and listened to the two chatting.

Tang Xiaoling suddenly touched Bai Qian's clothes: "Qianqian, this dress was bought by Zhao Kaixuan for you, can you ask Zhao Kaixuan to help my boyfriend buy one, last time Zhao Kaixuan wanted to help us buy it, I was afraid that the quality would not be good, so I only asked him to bring one for me, I didn't expect the quality to be very good, I want to buy one for my boyfriend, but it is so expensive outside!" ”

Bai Qian remembered that Zhao Kaixuan did have a few pieces left that had not been sold, and seeing that Tang Xiaoling's boyfriend was a very common figure, she directly agreed for Tang Xiaoling.

Tang Xiaoling seemed to be afraid that Bai Qian would regret it, so she immediately gave the money to Bai Qian, but Bai Qian was shocked by the amount handed over by Tang Xiaoling: "How many are you going to buy?" ”

Tang Xiaoling said: "One piece? ”

Bai Qian saw that Tang Xiaoling handed over 400 yuan, thinking that the goods that Zhao Kaixuan bought that day were all 200 yuan, because it was Tang Xiaoling, so she didn't hide it: "It seems to be a little more!" ”

Tang Xiaoling was generous: "Why don't you let Zhao Kaixuan earn dozens of yuan, it doesn't matter, the price that Zhao Kaixuan sold us is already much cheaper than what is sold in the store!" ”

Bai Qian didn't say anything, after saying goodbye to Tang Xiaoling, she went downstairs, Qiao Hongchao was still waiting downstairs, Bai Qian didn't say much, and continued to walk in front, there were street lights everywhere in the city, but when you passed by a dark place, you could still see the moon in the sky. Bai Qian turned around, and the shadows of the two people intertwined in the moonlight.

Bai Qian asked herself if she could just let go of Qiao Hongchao, but Bai Qian knew that she couldn't let go.

Bai Qian approached Qiao Hongchao, although Qiao Hongchao was also wearing a thick down jacket, but the zipper was not closed, Bai Qian plunged into Qiao Hongchao's arms, and wrapped her hands around Qiao Hongchao's waist.

The former Bai Qian felt that Qiao Hongchao was just a glass window to resist the cold for himself, and Bai Qian thought that Qiao Hongchao was just the moonlight that illuminated his life, although he resisted the cold for himself, although he illuminated himself, but neither the moonlight nor the glass window could directly bring warmth, and Bai Qian, who was hiding in Qiao Hongchao's arms, felt for the first time that there was someone who could hold him, which was really warm.

But Bai Qian can learn from Lan Ting and hug Qiao Hongchao like Lan Ting hugged Li Peng, but Qiao Hongchao did not respond to himself like Li Peng responded to Lan Ting, so Bai Qian finally let go of her hand.

Bai Qian left, in order to avoid suspicion, Qiao Hongchao always played with Bai Qian and went home. Qiao Hongchao could still smell the smell of Bai Qian's hair, and there was still the temperature left by Bai Qian in his arms.

Seeing Bai Qian's shadow getting fainter and fader under the street lamp, Qiao Hongchao remembered what Bai Qian asked himself that day, is it that his wild goose is gone, and he will never love again!

Qiao Hongchao finally dialed the phone number that he hadn't dared to dial for more than three years!

Xie Jing no longer saved Qiao Hongchao's phone, and when she received the call, Xie Jing had already put the child to sleep and was waiting for her husband who had not finished work.

"Hey, hello, who's that?"

"Xie Jing, hello!"

Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, Xie Jing was even unfamiliar with Qiao Hongchao's voice: "Qiao Hongchao?" ”

Qiao Hongchao took a deep breath: "It's me!" ”

Xie Jing seemed to expect Qiao Hongchao to call him recently: "Is it because of Bai Qian?" ”

Qiao Hongchao didn't answer, he was silent for a while and then asked Xie Jing: "Xie Jing, I met a girl who was as stupid as you were back then, you told me back then, I didn't meet you when you were still a fool, if I met you today who is still a fool, what should I do!" ”

Xie Jing seemed to know what Qiao Hongchao was going to ask himself: "Qiao Hongchao, my husband opened an electric car repair shop, you see, it's past 9 o'clock, and he hasn't come back yet." I heated the meal twice and he hasn't come back yet. ”

Qiao Hongchao didn't know what Xie Jing meant by this.

Xie Jing continued: "My husband and I always quarrel, I gave him a rule, every day at eight o'clock on time to go home for me, even if there is any more business, I am not allowed to take it, but he always does not listen, for this we have a lot of quarrels!" He always told me that if he was more tired and earn a little more money, my baby and I would be better off, and we would have a second child. But I felt that he was too tired to get up early every day to work and come home so late at night. And every day the baby sleeps early and wakes up late, and he can't even see his father's face. ”

Qiao Hongchao seemed to be able to see that Xie Jing was very happy now.

Xie Jing smiled on the phone: "After getting married and having children, people will nag." Qiao Hongchao, you help me evaluate the reasoning, whether I am messing around, or my husband doesn't cherish himself. ”

Qiao Hongchao didn't expect Xie Jing to ask himself these questions: "You are all right, your husband loves you, and you also feel sorry for your husband!" ”

Xie Jing smiled: "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear." ”

Qiao Hongchao seemed to understand what Xie Jing meant for a moment: "Xie Jing, thank you!" ”

Xie Jing casually touched her daughter's face: "Bai Qian likes you, she really likes you, she is right, you always care too much about your family's family situation, this is not wrong, at least it shows that you are not a bad man, you are afraid that a good girl will suffer with you." But Qiao Hongchao, sometimes what women are afraid of is not to endure hardships for a lifetime, what is really sad is that after a lifetime, the people around them are not what they like! If you really don't want to delay a girl, it's not that you want to leave him, but to protect her and cherish her from this moment. ”

Qiao Hongchao didn't expect Xie Jing to say such mature words now: "Thank you, Xie Jing!" ”

Xie Jing was on the balcony of his house, looking at the big and round moon in the sky: "Qiao Hongchao, even if I am thousands of miles away, I still bless you!" ”

Xie Jing's husband finally came home and engaged in repair work, and his body was covered with black engine oil all the year round, but every time before going home, Xie Jing's husband would wash himself cleanly before entering the house, never letting his daughter and wife smell unpleasant. Every day when he went home, her husband would hand over the money he earned every day to Xie Jing. Then he walked to his daughter's little bed and couldn't help but swing his daughter's pink little face.

The daughter was woken up, and she didn't cry or make a fuss, but her eyes were wide open, and she grabbed her father's rough fingers. My daughter is only seven months old, and it is the cutest time.

Xie Jing re-heated the meal for her husband, took the daughter from her husband's hand, sat next to her husband, and watched her husband eat.

The husband felt that Xie Jing seemed to be very happy: "Is there anything happy today?" ”

Xie Jing teased her daughter: "Well, I called my old friend today!" ”

The husband pretended to be jealous: "Is it an ex-boyfriend?" ”

Xie Jing smiled: "No, but a very good friend!" ”

………………

When Qiao Hongchao went home, Bai Qian and the others were already asleep, and Zhao Kaixuan liked to watch Qiao Hongchao or the Japanese action movies on his computer unabashedly.

After Qiao Hongchao washed up, back in the room, Zhao Kaixuan started his daily self-pleasure moment, replacing his missing girlfriend with his left hand, and he didn't shy away from Qiao Hongchao at all.

Zhao Kaixuan was very arrogant, even if he was ashamed of himself, he actually did it so blatantly, Qiao Hongchao sometimes really admired Zhao Kaixuan's openness.

Zhao Kaixuan looked at Qiao Hongchao staring at him, he was not embarrassed at all, but showed Qiao Hongchao openly.

Qiao Hongchao crooked his mouth and lay down on his bed.

Fortunately, Zhao Kaixuan knew that the sound insulation of the house was not good, and every time he watched the film, he brought a headset, Qiao Hongchao saw Zhao Kaixuan reaching out for toilet paper, and knew that this guy was finished.

Zhao Kaixuan asked, "Aren't you going to get it today?" ”

Qiao Hongchao returned: "I'm tired! ”

Zhao Kaixuan: "It's old, it's not good!" ”

Qiao Hongchao was sluggish: "Zhao Kaixuan, do you really love Bai Qian?"

Zhao Kaixuan turned off the lights casually, although the two of them couldn't see it in the dark, but because it happened to be a full moon today, and the two of them didn't draw the curtains, they could still see it inside the house.

Qiao Hongchao has never been a person who likes to ask questions, but today is different: "Why don't you speak!" ”

Zhao Kaixuan's tone was like that of a child who had not grown up: "I don't know!" ”

Qiao Hongchao was surprised by Zhao Kaixuan's answer: "How can you not know, do you love someone or not, don't you know?" ”

Zhao Kaixuan scratched his head: "Bai Qian and I grew up together, played together when we were children, I dreamed for the first time when I was 12 years old, and what I dreamed of was Bai Qian, I think this is love!" ”

It is estimated that even Bai Qian didn't know that the reason why Zhao Kaixuan had been guarding himself for so many years was because of a spring dream during puberty.

Zhao Kaixuan asked Qiao Hongchao rhetorically: "Qiao Hongchao, am I love?" ”

Qiao Hongchao thought for a moment: "No! ”

Zhao Kaixuan looked up at Qiao Hongchao: "Then how can it be regarded as loving someone!" ”

Qiao Hongchao asked Zhao Kaixuan rhetorically: "What do you think love is!" ”

Zhao Kaixuan replied: "I don't know, I like a girl, I want to be with her every day, and be happy with her, this is love!" ”

Qiao Hongchao continued to ask Zhao Kaixuan: "But Bai Qian is not happy with you!" ”

Zhao Kaixuan thought for a while: "But my mother said that whether you are happy or not, a good life is the most important thing!" ”

Qiao Hongchao didn't speak again, but Qiao Hongchao knew that Zhao Kaixuan didn't understand what love was, if Bai Qian really married Zhao Kaixuan, maybe he would live a rich life, but with Bai Qian's temperament, he would definitely be unhappy!

Qiao Hongchao, who was already lying down, got up, although it was very late, Qiao Hongchao still dialed the phone at home.

Qiao's mother didn't expect to receive a call from her youngest son so late: "Xiaochao, why haven't you slept so late!" ”

Qiao Hongchao heard that his parents were noisy, and knew that his mother hadn't gotten off work yet, and his mother had a job during the day and a part-time job at a barbecue restaurant at night, all in order to make more money.

Qiao Hongchao was a little distressed: "Mom, haven't you gotten off work yet?" I have something to tell you. ”

Qiao's mother knew that her youngest son would not say such things easily, so she left work an hour early and called her son back. Qiao Hongchao hesitated for a long time: "Mom, I like a girl, and she likes me too!" ”

Qiao's mother didn't expect her youngest son to say such things, and she instantly knew her son's concerns: "Xiaochao, in order to buy a house for your brother, your father and I borrowed money from everywhere, worked everywhere, and added the money you gave to the family every month, so I barely bought a house in our county, if you are going to get married now, your parents really don't have the ability to help you!" ”

Qiao Hongchao heard that his mother was already crying, and while feeling sorry for his mother, he sighed that he was useless! But Qiao Hongchao knew that he would never lose Bai Qian again: "Mom, I take care of my own affairs, you and Dad can rest assured, you will never let you worry about my affairs anymore!" ”

When Qiao's mother was pregnant with Qiao Hongchao, she was full of hope that she could be a daughter, and she took over Qiao Hongchao and landed as a boy, and the two of them knew that this life was a busy life, sure enough, the two sons had reached the age of marriage, and the two of them couldn't satisfy a son with all their might, the eldest son was 28 years old when he saw it, and he hadn't married yet, and the younger son's marriage was even more hopeless.

Qiao's mother said in tears: "Xiaochao, don't complain about your parents, don't worry, after your brother gets married, your parents will definitely help you work!" ”

Qiao Hongchao hung up the phone in a panic! I'm afraid I'm going to cry the next moment.

Before Qiao Hongchao could fall asleep, his brother's phone called, and Qiao Hongchao connected: "Xiaochao, I'm your sister-in-law!" ”

Qiao Hongchao didn't expect that it was his sister-in-law who called him: "Sister Yue, you haven't slept yet!" ”

Qiao Hongchao's sister-in-law is called Liu Yue, Liu Yue's tone is very happy: "Xiaochao, Mom told us about you, you listen to Sister Yue's words, don't give money to the family from today onwards, you need money to fall in love, we Northeast men can't be too stingy, your brother and I will get married at 51 next year." You don't have to worry about things at home! ”

Although he has not yet obtained the certificate with his brother, Liu Yue has already regarded it as Qiao's family and told Qiao Hongchao as a sister-in-law, Qiao Hongchao has not had much contact with his sister-in-law, but he didn't expect his sister-in-law to be reasonable.

But Qiao Hongchao knew that he still needed to leave the electronics factory, after all, the wages here were too low.
