Chapter 14: Watching the Sunrise (Part II)
Xu Qiubai: What kind of secret do you keep for me, I don't have a secret
Jolo: You asked me so much today, although I don't know what your purpose is, but if Mom knew, you wouldn't want to!
Xu Qiubai was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: Then what?
Jolo: We're even
Xu Qiubai: Okay then
Jolo: Yes (Luo Er nods vigorously)
Xu Qiubai: In this case, let's go, it's not too early, I guess my mother should have prepared a meal and waited for us
Jolo hesitated: Is this leaving?
Xu Qiubai: Yes, let's go!
Qiao Luo reluctantly looked at the puppet and said in disappointment: Okay then!
Xu Qiubai took his hand and said deliberately: Let's go!
Qiao Luo turned his head in despair and followed Xu Qiubai. After walking a few steps, Xu Qiubai suddenly picked up Qiao Luo, strode back, and said: Let's go, go buy Transformers, chocolates, toys, sugar, and take a group photo.
When Qiao Luo heard this, he immediately cheered and shouted: Okay~~
At noon, the table was full of dishes, and everyone ate happily. Xiao Xingqian sat on Zixin's side, busy serving her vegetables, and the second elder sitting on his right was also eating unhurriedly, because Qiao Luo had just come back from playing with Xu Qiubai, he had to squeeze between Xu Qiubai and Qiao Lan when he was still happy, at first Qiao Lan also signaled the child to stop, seeing that the two were having a good time, they went. Just when this meal was eating, Aunt Zhang touched Xu Qiubai's elbow and said
Aunt Zhang: Qiubai, I haven't called your parents for a long time!
Xu Qiubai raised his head from his rice bowl, thought for a while and said: Well, it's been a few days.
Aunt Zhang: When you have time, give your parents a call and tell me about your recent situation
Xu Qiubai muttered in his heart (Recently, what is our situation?) ): Oh, okay, got it
Aunt Zhang: There are some things you should be anxious about, the children are so old, hurry up and get things done, and your parents will be relieved
Xu Qiubai swallowed the last bite of food and looked at the second elder blankly: Huh? What did you do quickly, what is the matter?
Xiao Xingqian heard this and knew that the second elder had misunderstood, but Qiao Lan and Xu Qiubai were here, and he was not easy to explain to the second elder, so he said sloppily: Oh, Mom, Qiubai has his own plans for this, besides, how busy Qiubai is now, I can take the time to come back this time, you know how long he has been working in the unit
Aunt Zhang: Oh, you are really, why don't you take over your parents' business, you have to go to work for others
Zixin: Hey, mom, you don't understand, Qiubai doesn't work for others, he also has his own studio, and he uses other people's wages to do his own business, which is much better than the class that took Uncle Xu.
Uncle Zhang: That's right, old woman, don't worry about it here, since the Qiubai boy went to college, how can he use people to worry about it, let alone worry about this matter
Xu Qiubai: It's okay, in fact, my parents also mentioned this to me, but they respected my choice.
Aunt Zhang: Oh, it turns out that your parents know about this, so it's no wonder. As he spoke, he looked at Qiao Lan and the others with a pair of eyes that were the same, and nodded with a smile.
Qiao Lanlan was very dazed, she didn't know what they were talking about, but looking at the old lady's eyes, it seemed that this matter had something to do with her, but she wasn't sure what it was, so she didn't say anything, smiled faintly, and responded.
Seeing this, Xu Qiubai, Xiao Xingqi, and Zixin all knew that it was estimated that the second elder had misunderstood his relationship with Qiao Lan, but it was difficult to explain at this time, so he had to smile and nod. In the eyes of the second elder, their speculation was even more confirmed. After that, this misunderstanding caused them a little bit of trouble, of course, this is a later story.
After lunch, the second elder was about to pack up and go back. As soon as he packed the things prepared for the second elder in the morning, as well as some supplements, Xiao Xingqian was recalled by a phone call from the unit, and the task of sending the second elder to the station was handed over to Xu Qiubai.
When Zixin asked Qiao Lan what her plans were for the future after beating the second elder, Qiao Lan said that she didn't know, she had been in Song Ke's hometown before, and now that it was like this, there was no need to go back, Xu Qiubai said Since this is the case, then wait for me to come back and think about it in the long run! Qiao Lan looked at Qiao Luo, who was still taking a nap, and nodded silently.
By the time Xu Qiubai saw Qiao Lan, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Because Xu Qiubai was told by Zixin that Qiao Lan had answered a phone call before sending the second elder back, and went out.
Xu Qiubai didn't know why, she was depressed for a moment, because it was because she answered a phone call and went out for a long time, and after she came back, she ignored him inexplicably. He didn't know what she would say when she came back this time, but he felt that his mood was not very beautiful at this time.
Xu Qiubai sat on the sofa tiredly, looking at this small but very warm cabin, his heart was also sour, if he also had a small home, it was estimated that it would feel very good! Zixin also tossed until late yesterday, and now she went back to the house to make up for sleep, Xu Qiubai was even more seriously sleepy, and he hadn't slept well in the past few days, so he decided to make up for sleep in this gap when Qiao Lan went out.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Xingqian came back from work, but Qiao Lan hadn't come back yet, Xu Qiubai couldn't help but be a little worried, and no one answered after making several calls in a row, although Zixin persuaded them: Qiao Lan is not a child, it's okay, maybe she met an acquaintance and delayed. But Xu Qiubai was still very worried, and went out by himself after explaining that they took care of Qiao Luo.
Walking on the street different from a few years ago, Xu Qiubai was very confused, facing the unfamiliar street, he didn't know where to find her, after running a few streets and alleys, there was still no trace of her, Xu Qiubai sat on the bench decadently, opposite a station, and there was a huge billboard on the side of the site. Xu Qiubai looked at the men and women on the billboard blankly, hugged each other affectionately, whispered sweetly, and the advertising slogan:
Remembering Love – Treasure the most beautiful miracles of life......
Suddenly, Xu Qiubai seemed to remember something, and neatly stopped a taxi, and before he could sit down, he hurriedly said, "Master, go to Blue Wing Beach Park, quickly." The car was speeding on the road, and Xu Qiubai secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that he had not guessed wrong.
In the afternoon, the girl sat comfortably on a park bench basking in the sun, and the boy behind her slowly approached her, and then covered her eyes with his hands
Him: Guess who I am?
She excitedly broke her hands that covered her eyes, turned to him and said, "How do you know I'm here?"
He put down his hand and sat down beside her and said to her, "Guess what?
She slapped him with her hand and said eagerly: Say, say!
He grabbed her little hand, fearing that she would fall out of the chair, so he put one hand on her shoulder and said, "Oh, there are only a few places you will go, I have found it a few times before, and this time it is time for this turn."
She snorted and turned her head: Hmph, I don't believe you can find me every time.
He lowered his head and smiled comfortingly and said, "Okay, actually, I have a lot of trouble every time I look for you."
She looked at him and pouted: Hmph, you can find me because you are familiar with this surrounding environment, if you are not familiar, you will not find me so quickly.
He looked at her and smiled, but didn't say anything.
She suddenly turned her head and looked at him seriously, and said, "What would you do if one day I disappeared in your strange environment?"
Him: No
She: I mean, what would you do if I were gone
Him: No if, besides, Zixin will know where you are, unless you are deliberately avoiding me, otherwise, no matter where you are, you can find it
As soon as she heard Zixin, she felt a little lost: You are so confident,
Him: Absolutely
She was angry: Then I have to hide once, so you can't find it
Him: Then you have to wait for class time to hide, because I have to go to work at night, how can a good student like you skip class!
Her: How not?
Him: Okay! Then I will work hard, and then I will rely on my ingenuity!
"It's here". The driver's voice came and pulled Xu Qiubai back from his memory, paid the money and got out of the car, walked on the beach, looking back and forth. After walking a few steps, Xu Qiubai saw a familiar figure leaning on the reef, his shoulders trembling, Xu Qiubai walked over and helped Qiao Lan who was full of tears, after Qiao Lan saw him, he was surprised and a little surprised, but his heart was even more uncomfortable, so he simply threw himself into his arms and cried. Xu Qiubai hugged Qiao Lan, who was crying more and more aggrieved, did not speak, silently sent a text message to Zixin and them, reported their safety, and thought with peace of mind, fortunately I didn't guess wrong.
"Look, I still found you, I'm smart!" He straightened her head and whispered to her
She turned around and smiled, looking at the sea, "Qiubai, you are really smart"
Qiao Lan was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Qiubai, if it wasn't for Zixin's instructions back then, would you be so good to me?" ”
"I..." Xu Qiubai didn't know how to answer her, if it wasn't for Zixin's coercion and temptation, he wouldn't have had so much time in school, and he wouldn't have had too much communication with her, so naturally he wouldn't have let her have so many misunderstandings. But now she is so sad, although she doesn't know why, but she can't still sprinkle salt on the wound at this time. I didn't want her to be too sad, nor did I want her to misunderstand again, so Xu Qiubai simply shut up!
After not responding for a long time, Qiao Lan naturally knew the answer, maybe it was really her wishful thinking! There were two more lines of clear tears, different from the tears just now, she smiled bitterly and said to Xu Qiubai, "Qiubai, can you accompany me to see the sunrise?"
Him: Okay, why did you suddenly remember to watch the sunrise?
Her: Actually, every time you show up, I think it's quite a surprise and a miracle, so I want to keep this beauty in my mind, okay?
He clenched his hands tightly and nodded: Okay~
