Chapter 5 Is She Still Single?
"I didn't expect you to have this skill, I haven't heard you say it" At the dinner table, Xiao Xingqian just spit out the chicken wing bones in his mouth, picked up another piece of pork ribs in his hand, and then put all the meat in the bowl and handed it to Zixin.
Xu Qiubai put down the chopsticks, looked at the meat in the bowl and said unhurriedly, "I think when we were in elementary school, my parents didn't have time to care about me, so they sent me back to my hometown in T City, and asked my grandfather to take me, because there are too many children in the family, and my grandfather doesn't take care of me too much, so I often go out to play by myself, Zixin's house happens to live next door to my house, and at that time I was also at home alone, but the adults at home are too busy, and often she is hungry, so she goes to my house to find food, and slowly we are familiar, I still remember that she didn't like to eat fish very much at that time, and she was a picky eater, so I changed the method to study and eat for her, and this back and forth craft became a success, but now that I think about it, I should have been not intimate enough at that time and failed to take care of it" Xu Qiubai looked at Zixin's empty bowl at the bottom and said jokingly.
"No, if you had been more careful back then, I wouldn't have ended up in the hospital because of malnutrition", Zixin glanced at Xu Qiubai fiercely.
Xu Qiubai: "Yes, because of this at that time, I didn't let you call it a lot."
Xiao Xingqian spit out the last bone in his mouth and said stupidly: "Yes, at that time, I thought you had some crooked thoughts about Zixin, and you were a rival in love for a long time."
Xu Qiubai didn't expect that Xiao Xingqi, who was unpleasant to see him everywhere at that time, and who was always against him, could finally become a brother with him, and he had always been in touch, and it was not easy to think about it. Xu Qiubai looked at the name in the address book on his mobile phone, and mysteriously leaned over and asked, "Zixin, Xingqi, guess?" Who did I meet yesterday? ”
Xiao Xingqian and Zixin asked curiously, "Who?" ”
Xu Qiubai put the phone in front of them: "Mo Yan and Qiao Lan!" Xu Qiubai roughly talked about what happened yesterday. Of course, he hid their awkward meeting.
But it seemed that Zixin cared more about Qiao Lan, and was quite shocked: "Child!! What child? How old is the child? ”
Xu Qiubai shrugged: "I don't know very well, it seems to be three years old, boy, it's quite cute"
Zixin asked eagerly: "Then did she say where she has been all these years?" Where is she now? ”
Xu Qiubai was very puzzled, Zixin had a very good relationship with Qiao Lan back then, and they were inseparable every day, even if they were in a hurry when they graduated, they didn't have any contact all the time, but now it seems that they really have no contact, "At that time, she said that she had something to do, so she left first, and she would contact me when she was free."
Zixin: "Although she left in a hurry after graduating that year, and she didn't even come to get her graduation certificate, she didn't tell me when she got married, there must be a problem, hey, you gave me her contact information?" ”
"Oh, good", Xu Qiubai copied the number to her.
Zixin looked at it and called her: "The phone you dialed has been turned off" Putting down the phone, Zixin thoughtfully: "Turned off?" What if you use Qiubai's mobile phone? ”
Putting down the phone, Zixin looked at Qiubai with a smile, "Qiubai, what do you think of Mo Yan?" ”
Xu Qiubai touched his nose, "What can I think, it's just to attend a class reunion, what else can I think, she is already married, and even has children" The more the voice went to the back, the quieter it became.
Zixin snickered and said, "I didn't think much about it, I even know that people get married and have children,"
Xu Qiubai shook his head with a wry smile, if they were really together back then, it is estimated that the children would be three or four years old now, what a happy family they should be, it's a pity...
Zixin nodded knowingly, and cleared her throat in a matter-of-fact manner, "Ahem, cough, cough... Qiubai, if I tell you that Xin Moyan is single now, will you have the courage to confess to her now? ”
Xu Qiubai looked at Zixin in shock, and his expression of incredulity was beyond words. "It's really fake, don't be funny, I've seen photos of her children in the alumni directory, and, and I see that she often posts some of her daily life with her children"
Zixin was noncommittal, "That's what I said, I don't know much about the child, but she is really single now"
"Really? How do you know? There was a hint of expectation in Xu Qiubai's eyes
"Why do you think she came to the class reunion this time?" Zixin glanced at him obliquely, and said, "I know that you have never given up on her, so I have been leaving her a message on the alumni directory all these years, until more than a year ago, she replied to me, we didn't get in touch, she has been abroad for the past few years, and it just happened that she returned to China this time, so I organized this party to make you wish."
Zixin took Xiao Xingqi's handover and took a sip of the freshly squeezed water juice, and then said, "Otherwise, in my current situation, let alone a class reunion, even shopping Xingqi has to follow me, and I can't play at all."
"As for how I knew she was single, it was a coincidence that when I first found out that I was pregnant, I was not prepared for it and morning sickness was very bad, she chatted with me and shared a recipe with me, and she said that she was very experienced in this area. I asked her when she would return to China for the wedding, and I have all the money ready for you, guess what she said? ”
"How?"
She said that there is no need to reapply for it, and if there is really such a day, she will definitely notify me as soon as possible! So, you have a chance" Zixin put on an expression that the opportunity was given to you, and it was up to you.
Xu Qiubai was a little confused, he didn't know what it meant, it was an opportunity or what, when he went to school, he didn't say it, but she seemed to refuse, probably because it was too embarrassing, so he didn't tell anyone about it.
Xiao Xingqian couldn't help but grab Xu Qiubai's shoulder, "Qiubai, the opportunity has come!" It's been nine years, it's time to have a result, if you weren't sure what this feeling was back then, now that we've all grown up, it's a bit too much for you to say you don't know, besides, the notebook isn't in you, be confident in yourself, brother supports you! ”
Seven years ago
He is young, sharp, humorous, and calculating, and she can be found everywhere on Sakura Road, at the school gate, in the garden, and at the corner of the stairs. Countless times passed by, my heart was suffocating, and finally:
At the door of a dessert shop, Xu Qiubai was holding a small box of cakes in his hand, and the cake still said "Your BF gift" with a wound on his face, and he said to Xin Moyan proudly, "Oh, your birthday gift, give you"
Xin Moyan asked him with a smile: "Thank you, how do you know that today is my birthday?" ”
"What you saw in your notebook" Xu Qiubai confessed
"And when did you get my notebook?" Xin Moyan pretended to be angry and questioned him
"I didn't take your notebook" Xu Qiubai was a little embarrassed, and thought to himself: I really didn't take it, it's all Xiao Xingqi's fault
"That... What does BF mean? ”
"Uh... I don't know, the cake shop clerk wrote it casually, I bought it when I looked good" Xu Qiubai tilted her head to the side, and didn't look at her and smiled secretly. "Maybe it's what my boyfriend means, I don't know," Xu Qiubai muttered quietly
Xin Moyan shyly touched the wound on his face with his hand, "How is it?" Does it still hurt? Don't do it again next time, the football can be avoided, why do you have to bump into it"
"If I dodge, it will be you who will bump into you, how can I hurt you, after all, you are a girl" Xu Qiubai nodded as if to take credit
Xin Moyan seemed to see through his careful thoughts, and ignored him, "Okay! Then for the sake of your injured face, I will lend you the notebook first, which contains the notes of your skipping class today, which is a thank you for buying me a cake, but you are not allowed to take it again. ”
"Of course," Xu Qiubai nodded heavily
Xin Moyan happily took the cake, turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, he stopped and shouted to Xu Qiubai, "Thank you, my BestFriend"
