Chapter 286: The Dust Has Settled
The two sides looked at each other for a few seconds, and Su Xiaoxiao took the lead in nodding at her, the relationship between them was already complicated, and she really couldn't think of what to do.
Mo Ling didn't respond, only looked at her deeply for a few seconds and then moved his gaze to her hand, the book that was held in her arms she had seen before, and it was placed next to Chen Xiao's pillow, and then she also heard Jing Mian mention the diary. At the end, Mo Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, then turned around and left downward.
At noon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the back printed in the morning sun looked a little lonely, Su Xiaoxiao pinched the edge of the notebook, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
She doesn't owe anything to Mo Ling. But for Mo Ling, Chen Xiao is her cherished younger brother, and he is the only person in the Chen family who treats her sincerely.
It wasn't until the black figure was out of sight that Su Xiaoxiao lifted her steps and walked inside. As we get closer, our hearts sink more and more for no reason. Since the accident, she has never dared to come to see him without face, until she finally took revenge, and she had the courage to explain to him.
Stopping in front of the tomb, she bowed solemnly a few times, and then slowly squatted down to look at the word "Chen Xiao", and a natural smile rose at the corner of her mouth.
"Chen Xiao, I'm sorry, I didn't come to see you until now." The gentle female voice floated in the wind, blowing the flowers in front of the tomb, and the swaying grass branches seemed to respond, waving warmth in this spacious and quiet space.
Su Xiaoxiao said as she sorted out the bouquet she brought and put it on the side, "I brought you your favorite hibiscus, it turns out that what you said before was a lie to me, if I hadn't read your diary, I really thought you liked peonies as much as I did." Chen Xiao, to be honest, hibiscus is more like you. ”
"I've read all your diaries, and I've read them word for word." Su Xiaoxiao smiled, "I guess you never thought of showing it to me when you wrote it, although it offended your privacy, but I am still very grateful to Jing Mian, if it weren't for her, I might never know what the real you are like for the rest of my life." ”
"I have received your thoughts and feelings."
Speaking of this, Su Xiaoxiao paused, she suddenly stood up and turned to look into the distance, the original smile faded a little because of the flood of emotions. She shifted her steps and turned sideways to try to calm down.
After a long time, when she crouched in front of the grave again, she had a smile on her face again.
"What should I tell you?" Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing at herself, "We've been together all the time, it's you who keep talking around me, although sometimes I think you're really noisy, but now like this, I'm really a little unused to it." ”
The soft voice carried a little blame, but it couldn't hide the disappointment in it, and the volume became smaller and smaller.
After that, Su Xiaoxiao didn't speak again.
She made an appointment with the cemetery for a whole afternoon, and she wanted to talk to Chen Xiao, but after only staying for more than half an hour, she felt that she was not as strong as she imagined.
Whether it was the sound of the wind, the grass, the leaves, or the scent of flowers wafting into the tip of her nose, everything seemed to remind her that the bright and sunny boy was no longer there.
And she, when she met him after that, could only talk to herself or be silent with each other.
The forced smile is approaching its limit.
At the last moment, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but reach out and touch the name on the stele, and whispered to the thing that he had thought about for a long time before deciding: "Chen Xiao, if there is really an afterlife, if you still remember that I am willing to forgive me and accept me, then, I promise you to be your girlfriend in the next life." ”
The words fell, and a tear slipped down his face.
Su Xiaoxiao sniffed, wiped off the bit of wetness and stood up, "I'm going back to Los Angeles in a few days, and I'll bring you some hibiscus when I get back." ”
"Chen Xiao, I'm leaving."
Two days later
Su Xiaoxiao said goodbye again, and when Qin Yitian came home late at night, the flat quilt was placed at the tail, and the long pillow was placed at the head of the bed, and there was no trace of breath on it.
Xishen heard the movement and went upstairs, clasped hands and cautiously spoke behind him: "Young master, young grandma said that she was going back to Los Angeles and would leave in the afternoon." ”
"Did she leave anything behind?"
"Grandma asked me to tell you that this time she will wait for you to pick her up."
Qin Yitian's eyes flickered, and he closed the door and turned around after a few seconds, "Got it." ”
Although I don't know what kind of dumb fans they are fighting, from the little smile that accidentally leaked from her young master's face, Aunt Xi found a reason to put the hanging heart back in her stomach. originally thought that something was wrong with the two of them, but now it seems that she should be overly worried.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to Los Angeles to find out that many things had happened this year, and she only cared about revenge, and she missed a lot.
When Su Ming learned that she was going home, he immediately stopped his work and rushed back to Su's house, and when he saw her, he didn't scold her as Su Xiaoxiao thought, but frowned solemnly, and then quickly stepped forward and hugged her tightly while "Brother, I'm back" in his ears.
Belated comfort, even if a year has passed, the pain of losing a child and a friend must still exist in her heart.
"Brother, I'm fine, it's all over." Su Xiaoxiao took a breath and patted Su Ming's back and comforted.
Hearing that her voice was no different, Su Ming let go of his hand and pinched her shoulder and looked her up and down, "I won't say anything in advance when I come back, if it weren't for Mother Zhang calling me, would you still want to leave without meeting." ”
"If you don't leave, it's up to you to come back."
While speaking, a small round figure suddenly appeared not far away and ran towards them, hugging Su Xiaoxiao's thigh all of a sudden. I saw that little little dot was crying on his back, and pouted aggrievedly: "Auntie, aunt ......"
Who else but the little watermelon!
"Auntie, you said you would take me to Los Angeles to see Jian Jian, you don't mean what you say!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, and the person on her feet had been dragged away before she could come to her senses, and then she heard Su Ming's whispered reprimand: "I just explained to you that I can't say anything......
"Brother, it's okay." Su Xiaoxiao smiled, then squatted down and pulled the little watermelon to him, held his little hand and pinched it, "Little watermelon, my aunt told you, Jian Jian went to a far away place and won't come back." However, he has something to leave for Little Watermelon, he said that Brother Little Watermelon is a very good brother, and he will always remember Brother Little Watermelon, so I hope you don't be unhappy, and just keep Jian Jian in mind. ”
"Auntie, my father told me that Jian Jian died, and he said that if he died, he went to a far away place and would never see him again, aunt, is that so?"
The clear eyes were glowing with crystal fluorescence, and the uninhibited fairy tale made Su Xiaoxiao stunned. After a few seconds, she only nodded slightly.
At this time, the little watermelon suddenly got into her arms, patted her head like a little adult and comforted her softly: "Auntie still has a little watermelon, the little watermelon will not go far away, and will always accompany my aunt." ”
"Okay." Su Xiaoxiao hugged his small body, and a warmth slid into his heart.
In fact, a year has passed, and the revenge has been avenged, and she has already let go of everything in her heart. But Little Watermelon's words still easily drew out her pain, and at the same time, with his unique energy, he waved them away.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to her home with peace of mind, accompanied the little watermelon every day without distractions, and returned to the life of taking him to and from school in person, always playing, eating, and sleeping.
During this time she learned many things:
Su Ming was officially with Li Qian not long ago, in the words of Little Watermelon, he went through a lot of hardships, almost lost his "life", and used up his life's IQ and EQ to finally chase his mother.
Li Qian has also seen it, but they don't say anything about what happened between them, even if Su Xiaoxiao uses the greatest coquettish means against Su Ming, it is useless. In the end, Su Xiaoxiao only got a sentence from the mouth of the little watermelon.
Let go of dignity, and don't be shameless, soft and hard.
In connection with what he heard about "kidnapping" and "illness" before, Su Xiaoxiao had a feeling of refreshing his cognition of Su Ming.
Regarding Qin Kemeng, she had already returned to Qingcheng with Chi Chongxin, and the specific reason Su Ming was not very clear, but she knew that one day Chi Chongxin suddenly came to help her quit Su's job, and then left Los Angeles soon. Su Xiaoxiao called to inquire as soon as she came back, but Qin Kemeng didn't say anything, and quickly forked the topic.
In addition to them, there was one other person who also left Los Angeles. Hearing that Mu Chenlang had been hit, he intuitively felt that he had little hope of being with Qin Kemeng, so he packed up his baggage and ran back to Luo City, and it was impossible to come back in a short time, which meant that several of their playmates began to divide several places again.
Of course, Su Xiaoxiao didn't feel too much about them, except for being a little worried about Qin Kemeng, life went on as usual.
After staying in Los Angeles for more than half a month, Su Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Su Ming's family, simply pulled a small suitcase and boarded the plane to Qingcheng.
For more than two years, the small home that belonged to them was vacant for more than two years.
Pressing the fingerprint, he slowly pushed open the door that had been sealed for a long time, and there was a cloud of dust on his face, Su Xiaoxiao raised his hand and swept it in front of him, and then walked in slowly.
The thick smell mixed with dust rushed into the nose, causing a few coughs.
After putting down her luggage, she quickly opened all the curtains and windows, and the daylight leaked into the room, coating the whole space with a layer of gold, and gradually filling the whole room.
Without resting, she took out a smock from the suitcase, put it on, put on her gloves and feet, and quickly threw herself into the cleaning work.
Originally, she also thought about finding someone to clean it first, but in the end she decided to do it herself, anyway, she didn't have anything special, just to kill time.
The small room of one hundred and fifty square meters took Su Xiaoxiao a whole day, and it was not until the night was deep and there was silence outside the window that she stopped what she was doing and fell into the sofa, and after a while, she fell asleep directly.
When she opened her eyes again, Su Xiaoxiao only felt that the beam in front of her was very dazzling, which made her head hurt a little, and at the same time, her stomach happened to sound the sound of "gurgling", and she realized that she had not eaten for a whole day.
After taking a shower and changing into a comfortable outfit, she put on her bag and went out. In addition to foraging, she also went to the supermarket, packed everything she could use into her shopping cart, and stuffed the entire kitchen and storage room.
Comfortable, just like that, Su Xiaoxiao lived alone in Twilight International for nearly a month.
She lived in a simple house, slept until near noon every day, got up to make a face for herself, and then painted comfortably with the fragrant food while having a meeting with Bai Yaxuan, until the end of her work in the afternoon, she didn't go out until the end of her work, walked a few laps in the park of the community, watched the children chase and play under the sunset, and watched the old people chatting freely.
It's been a long time since she's been in such a relaxed state of mind, she has let herself go, doesn't contact anyone, and calmly waits here for someone to pick her up.
She knew that this time he would keep his word.
Goodbye, we will definitely join hands for a lifetime in the future.
One day two months after leaving New York
When Su Xiaoxiao opened the door and walked to the kitchen as usual, the rose barley porridge on the dining table instantly caught his eye, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a man with a glass of juice in front of him.
White shirt and black trousers, sleeves regularly rolled up to the elbows, a familiar smile on his face. I only heard him say softly: "Morning." ”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and replied softly: "Brother Qin, morning." ”
