"Lin Qingchen, long time no see."

Qingchen looked at those familiar eyes and spoke, "Long time no see." ”

"Mr. Duan and Qingchen know each other?"

"Does an ex-girlfriend count as acquaintances?" One sentence immediately turned cold, and the people next to Duan Yi began to round the field.

"Duan Yi, let's go, the people inside are still waiting for us." As he spoke, he staggered Duan Yi forward.

"Cheng Wei, you eat first, let's go."

Cheng Wei nodded and watched the two leave.

Since Duan Yi left, Cheng Wei could obviously feel that the atmosphere between the two was not as good as before, and he offered to send Qingchen home.

"Don't bother, Mr. Cheng, I'll take a taxi back by myself in a while, I invited this meal, and I should make amends to you."

The meaning of the words was already very clear, although Cheng Wei was a little regretful, he also understood that feelings could not be forced, so he didn't let Qingchen settle the bill, he quickly settled the account himself and sent Qingchen to the door.

"Light dust, slow down on the road." He advised.

Qingchen waved her hand at him through the car glass, looking at the figure in the rearview mirror that was getting farther and farther away, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, I don't know whether she was sad or happy, to this day, her emotions can still be controlled by Duan Yi, and a sentence that she hasn't seen her for a long time can make her defeat and not become an army.

The lights in the corridor still didn't turn on, Qingchen went home and didn't turn on the lights and sat for a while, it got dark early in winter, it was dark outside, it was dark inside, there was no light, just like her heart was empty, and none of them were implemented.

I originally wanted to drink the Huadiao wine that I opened a few days ago, but I felt that it was inappropriate, and I was afraid of nightmares, so I finally gave up and went out to the convenience store opposite the community for 24 hours to buy a few cans of beer and go home slowly.

Duan Yi watched Qingchen walking in the car with a bag in a daze, she has always been like this, she is not good at walking, Duan Yi has never seen anyone walking like Lin Qingchen can walk in a daze, take a deep breath, pull the car door, he stopped Lin Qingchen.

Qingchen would never ask him what he was doing here, she and Duan Yi grew up together since childhood, and knew what Duan Yi was thinking in her heart, just like she smiled and frowned, Duan Yi also knew what the reason was for her.

"How did you find this?" She asked.

Duan Yi didn't reply to her, and said irrelevantly, "Don't you invite me to go up and sit down?" ”

People are invited to go up, the corridor is dark, Qingchen walked in front of the light, "Go slowly, look at the stairs." ”

"Does this light break down often?"

"No, it may be the New Year, and the people in the property have gone home and are too lazy to repair it."

When all the lights in the house were turned on, Qingchen let Duan Yi into the house. Duan Yi took a closer look, the most prominent of the ordinary and warm residence should be the kitchen, it can be seen that Qingchen has specially renovated the kitchen, which is more exquisite than other places, the utensils are neatly placed, the small oven is placed on the counter, and an apron is put next to it.

"Drinking?" Qingchen put the bag on the coffee table and asked Duan Yi.

He nodded, sat down on the sofa, Qingchen sat cross-legged opposite him and opened two cans of beer, he was silent for a long time, the beer was already halfway drunk, Qingchen was a little anxious and a little happy.

"Are you going on a blind date today?" Finally, Duan Yi opened his mouth. Qingchen nodded, his gaze resting on the green bottle.

"Cheng Wei is good." He swallowed his sip and commented, but Qingchen didn't answer him.

"Do you like him?"

Hearing this, Qingchen raised his head and glanced at Duan Yi strangely, "What if you like it?" ”

"He's the same age as you, no." He suddenly said, "click", and the jar in Qingchen's hand was pinched by her.

The people of Chunxi Road believe in fortune-telling, and none of the children who grew up in Chunxi Road have escaped the calculation. When Qingchen was fifteen years old, Lin's mother found someone to calculate a hexagram for Qingchen.

"The person who can get married must be a year older than her."

Qingchen never believed this, but just said something casually when Duan Yi asked, who knew that he had memorized it for so many years.

"If you don't like it, you can't make it."

When she said this, Duan Yi's gaze stayed on her face, and she looked greedily for a long time.

"Why do you agree to go if you don't like it?"

"I'm getting older, I have to serve the old, I see that the people next to me are in pairs, and I will be envious, I can't always be alone, even if you don't find a girlfriend." She was a little slow in her last sentence.

Duan Yi chuckled, and the finished can was thrown into the trash by him, and he took another can from the bag and opened it and drank it.

"I'll just say I didn't look at the wrong eye, did you see me at the door of the supermarket on Huai'an Road a few days ago."

"With your girlfriend." Light dust added.

The smile on the corner of his mouth became worse, "Qingchen," he called her, "I said that when will you be able to fix your problem of holding on to my slightest problem?" ”

Qingchen lifted the can and took a sip of wine, hiding the corners of his mouth that were raised. Duan Yi changed from sitting on the sofa to sitting cross-legged on the ground, and Qingchen laid a carpet at home, but he was not afraid of catching a cold.

"She is not my girlfriend, she is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Zhou next to me today, and I accompanied them to the supermarket that day."

Hearing the explanation, Qingchen raised his eyes and glanced at Duan Yi, and then looked at him unscrupulously, Duan Yi didn't speak, and let her look, because this confrontation was not only Qingchen's alone, but also Duan Yi's.

Duan Yi is also about to run for three, and it can't be seen from his appearance that he is almost thirty years old, but there is still a difference between him and Duan Yi before the age of twenty-three.

The twenty-three-year-old Duan Yi's eyes are full of longing and ambition for the future, and the almost thirty-year-old Duan Yi's eyes are full of ups and downs, and he can't see clearly.

"How long?" Duan Yi spoke, "I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Qingchen's fingers rubbed the edge of the bottle, and he took off the ring from the jar and put it on his hand.

"It's been more than five years." She replied.

"Zhang Yi said that your store is doing well."

"It's okay, barely making ends meet."

Qingchen's store has been open for five years, relying on her own craftsmanship to survive, and she has not thought about the way forward, either to open another branch, or to guard this store.

"You have a good future, but now you are mixed up with others calling you Mr. Duan." Light Dust teased him.

"It's just luck." He replied with a smile.

Qingchen shook her head, others said that she might believe it if she was lucky, but she didn't believe it when she put Duan Yi on it, not that Duan Yi was unlucky, but that Duan Yi's strength was stronger than his luck, and the child who was the most despised on Chunxi Road back then has now become the most promising child.

Qingchen fell silent, and Duan Yi was also silent. The bright light was a little dazzling, and Qingchen wanted to shed tears, she greedily enjoyed every minute and every second now, because she didn't know if she would be able to sit together calmly next time to drink and chat, and there were thousands of emotions in her heart that were about to pour out, and she was forced to hold back, and she still didn't understand why Shengli happened to her and Duan Yi.

"Little Dust." Duan Yi called her suddenly.

The string in her heart finally couldn't hold on, she didn't turn her head and left two lines of tears, and responded to him crisply, "What's wrong." ”

"My grandmother is gone." When he said this, he felt very lonely.

There was footsteps in the hallway, then the door opened, the door closed, and then silence returned, presumably the neighbor who was the opposite door had come home from work.

"I know."

She knew that Duan Yi's grandmother had died three years ago, and Zhang Yi had called her to tell her. On the afternoon of knowing the news, she gave Chu Chu a holiday, closed the door of the store, and sat alone all afternoon.

"I'm really alone now."

The hand holding the jar trembled slightly, tears flowed down again, and she comforted Duan Yi loudly.

"It's okay, you can live a good life alone, sometimes it's a little harder, but it's better than many people, as long as you live, you can have anything."

Duan Yi saw Qingchen's tears, and in a panic, he pulled paper from the coffee table to wipe her tears, he was afraid of Qingchen crying since he was a child, and he was sad when he cried, and he scratched his heart and wanted to make Qingchen laugh.

The tears couldn't be stopped like water that had opened the floodgates, crying wet a piece of paper, Duan Yi drew another one to her, and the light dust behind her was a little embarrassed, and she choked twice to stop her tears.

"I'm sorry."

Duan Yi shook his head, "I know that a person can live a good life, and I am not afraid of hardship." ”

"Light dust, you know what? I can be alone. ”

Qingchen looked at him with red eyes, too much emotion flashed in it, and then she immediately lowered her head and buried it between her knees.

"You can not be alone, you will marry and have children in the future, you will have a family, and there will be people who love you more."

As soon as she thought that he would marry someone else and have children, the tears that had just stopped came out again, and the cotton and linen skirt was wet by her crying.

"Yes." Duan translated back to her.

"I will get married, I will have a wife, children, someone will call me Dad, and then I will not be alone again."

The sourness in her heart is getting stronger and stronger, almost filling the entire heart, Qingchen feels that she is not cool at all now, she will only cry when she encounters Duan Yi's matter, and only in front of Duan Yi, she, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old girl, loves to cry.

She jerked to her feet, a few tears still hanging from her face.

She yelled at Duan Yi, "Then you go and find it, what are you talking about at my house?" ”

She pushed Duan Yi across the coffee table, "You go out, I'm going to sleep, don't come to me again in the future, I don't have your ex-boyfriend, and I won't admit it." ”

Duan Yi laughed, and he clamped Qingchen's wrist with both hands.

"Xiaochen'er, what are you crying about? Is this going to drive me away? ”

"You and I grew up together, and you still don't understand what I'm coming to you for today?"

Qingchen stopped struggling, his red eyes looked at the smiling Duan Yi, and he stretched out a hand to help her wipe the tears on her face.

"You have to tell me to know?"

"Lin Qingchen." He said word by word, "I'll only say these words once, you can listen to them." ”

"I will only marry you in the future, and I only want to marry you, the child calls me dad, I must call you mom, I came to you to ask if you are still willing to be with Duan Yi again?"
