Chapter 39: You Are My Pride
In City B, Xiao Qingcheng fell on the big bed, tossing and turning, and tears converged into a river.
In the garden of the villa, the fireworks bought by Old Man Xiao were still exploding in the sky, Xiao Qingcheng pulled the pillow to cover her ears, how lively it was outside, and how desolate her heart was.
At night, when Qiao Beichuan drove her back from Qiao's house, fireworks were set off in her yard, and the fireworks rose into the air, much brighter than the street lamp, illuminating the cold face of the man in front of her.
His long body was covered with a dark coat, his legs were straight and slender leaning on the Porsche, staring indifferently in front of him, wanting to speak and stopping, so nervous that Xiao Qingcheng, whose little face was pale.
"Qiao Beichuan, I ......"
"You like me?" He said lightly, his cold fingers ran his coat into his pocket, took out a cigarette, leaned forward, lit a fire, and played with his fingers in the cigarette case.
He still maintained the same posture as before, but there was an extra sparkling cigarette in his hand, and the cigarette did not contradict his elegance, but gave birth to a hint of yuppie.
Xiao Qingcheng was forced by his gaze to have nowhere to escape, she straightened her body and looked into his eyes, the fireworks were reflected in his deep eyes, brilliant and stunning.
Xiao Qingcheng gritted his teeth, nodded, and said clearly, "Yes, I like you, I have liked you since high school, and I have liked you for a long time......"
In the end, Xiao Qingcheng's voice was trembling, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably, but the only thing that responded to her enthusiastic confession was his cold and unwavering eyes.
This girl likes him, and his clever head has long noticed it.
Qiao Beichuan took a puff of cigarette, stopped playing with the cigarette case, he stood up straight and spit out a puff of smoke, "No matter how much you like it, how long you like it, you will forget it for me in the future." ”
As he spoke, he snuffed out the cigarette, threw it on the ground, turned around and pulled the car door, and threw the cigarette case into the car, he held the car door with his hand, staring indifferently at her bloodless face, "Because you like it, for me, it's just trouble." ”
After the words fell, he got into the car, closed the door, and walked away.
The fireworks illuminated his car, but when it went out, it set off Xiao Chengcheng's gray face.
She liked him for four years, in exchange for him, it was just his trouble, he didn't like her, but he hated her.
Old man Xiao saw his baby daughter when he went out of the gate, and immediately greeted him, "Baby daughter, is it good to buy this firework?" ”
When Xiao Qingcheng saw Xiao's father, grievances poured out of her chest, and she threw herself into Xiao's father's arms, crying silently, "Dad, am I a trouble?" ”
When she was born, Chairman Xiao's favorite woman died of dystocia because she gave birth to her; She likes to cause trouble, so that Chairman Xiao can clean up the mess for her when she is busy with official business; She didn't get good grades in high school, and she often embarrassed Chairman Tang Xiao in front of her friends.
Father Xiao's eyes were red with melancholy, he touched her hair with his big hand, looked at the fireworks in the air, and his voice was vicissitudes.
"No, you're my pride."
At that time, Xiao Tingcheng understood a truth, in front of the people who love you, you are a treasure; In front of people who don't love you, you become a handful of misguided garbage.
If you don't want to be garbage in his eyes, hide your love and never let him find out.
The winter vacation passed quickly, and the day before the official class, Gu Jinyan took Qiao Xigu back to the dormitory with her luggage, and then took Qiao Xigu and Jinbao to Professor Zheng's house to take care of her.
Outside the door of Professor Zheng's house, Qiao Xigu hugged Jinbao, watched the great god pull the car door, and cowered, "Great god, do you really want me to go in by myself?" ”
He turned his head and nonchalantly hooked his lips, "Xigu, what won't they do to their future granddaughter-in-law?" ”
Finally, he added, "If that happens, I won't allow it." ”
Josie nodded shyly, holding Jinbao's paw to say goodbye to the Great God, "Great God, I will behave well!" ”
Walking through the small garden, Jossigu stood in front of the door, brushed his hair, took a few deep breaths, and pressed the doorbell.
Inside the door, Professor Zheng and Ms. Lin looked at the cat's eye for a long time, and when they heard the doorbell, they were startled, sorted out their clothes, and opened the door after calming down.
Seeing the figure, Qiao Xigu raised Jinbao to his face, bowed and greeted, "Hello Professor Zheng, good master!" ”
Professor Cheng and Ms. Lin were taken aback by the sudden move, and Professor Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Come in." ”
Walking into the living room behind Professor Zheng and Ms. Lin, Qiao Xigu was taken aback by this scene, although she had not attended their class, the face of the heavyweight professor of the school was not very unfamiliar to her.
On the mahjong table, from left to right, are Professor Peng, Professor Xing, and Professor Tao.
Qiao Xigu was dizzy for a while, holding Jinbao at a loss, she said in a daze, "Hello teachers, my name is Qiao Xigu, and I am a big ...... Senior Brother Gu's younger sister. ”
Professor Tao spread the mahjong, took a sip of the tea at hand, and teased, "Lao Zheng, now that the senior brothers and sisters have come to the house to meet their parents, we are really old, and we can't keep up with the times." ”
Josie Gu's little face turned red when she was ridiculed, and she just noticed that the four heavenly kings in the school actually gathered to play mahjong!
Then she heard Professor Tao whisper to Professor Xing beside her, "This is Jinyan's girlfriend." ”
After that, everyone's expressions of understanding made Josie so ashamed that she almost got into the cracks in the ground, and Josie looked at Professor Zheng and Ms. Lin like a helper.
Professor Zheng coughed lightly, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Xigu, I have a little bad luck with your master, you play two laps for us." ”
Ms. Lin praised Professor Zheng's wit, the two of them lost miserably just now, Xigu is Jinyan's girlfriend, and her mahjong talent is estimated, so she agreed, "It's a junior sister or a girlfriend, try it to know, go ahead, Xigu." ”
The three professors glanced at Qiao Xi and Gu looked at each other, the three of them just knew that Gu Jinyan was not there, and deliberately formed a group to play mahjong with Professor Zheng and his wife, wanting to win back what they had lost before.
Now Gu Jinyan left, Gu Jinyan's daughter-in-law came, and they didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.
Qiao Xigu only felt that Professor Zheng and Mrs. Lin pushed herself into the fire pit, she blinked, and told Mrs. Lin with her eyes, "I don't know how to play mahjong." ”
Ms. Lin obviously misunderstood what Qiao Xigu meant, she hugged Jinbao, pressed Qiao Xigu on the seat, and cheered, "Xigu, we Jinyan have never lost mahjong, and you shouldn't be bad." ”
Josie Gu roared in his heart, No, it's bad, I've never won mahjong......
When she was in high school, she played mahjong at Xiao Tingcheng's house, and she lost every time and asked Steward Wang to redeem people.
Losers lose money, don't lose battles, Professor Zheng and Ms. Lin behind Qiao Xigu and Jinbao stared wide-eyed and watched Qiao Xigu play cards.
After a round of cards for half a game, the three professors looked at Josie Gu, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, and didn't know which card to play, and looked at each other with a fox-like smile.
Seeing that the great god's card kept swiping on the POS machine, Josie looked at Professor Zheng and Ms. Lin without tears, "Otherwise, I'll come down and you can play." ”
Professor Zheng patted Qiao Xigu on the shoulder, and said seriously, "I've never lost so much, Xigu, you are really better than blue." ”
After saying that, he stood up and walked behind his back with his hands behind.
Josie was stunned, and she found that Professor Zheng had felt unprecedented disappointment in her, a closed disciple.
In the conference room of Xiang's Group, Gu Jinyan leaned on the back of the chair, listening to the team members report on the progress of the work, his eyes were focused, restrained and calm, and his fingers tapped on the table, as if he was thinking about something.
The mobile phone vibrated a little, and it didn't take long for it to vibrate again, and he approached slightly to the south on his side, and whispered, "It's not that Little Sister Xigu is looking for you in a hurry, right?" ”
Gu Jinyan's eyes dimmed, she opened her mobile phone, saw the content of the text message, pursed her thin lips lightly, raised slightly, and saw a corner of the thousand-year-old iceberg melted to the south, hating herself for being too mouthful, why did she sprinkle a mouthful of dog food on her own.
The phone vibrated a total of 10 times before it stopped.
At Professor Zheng's house, Qiao Xigu was stared at by three people like jackals, tigers and leopards, and wanted to escape.
