"Xiao Nian, did you say that?" Qiao Yu hugged her, his eyes drooped slightly, and his tone was slow: "You have your sunshine, you will always be born to the sun." ”

Qiao Nian clutched his shirt tightly in his palms, gritted his teeth and said, "But now, I can't find him." ”

Qiao Yu's broad palm fell to the back of her head, and gently comforted her: "I will find it, I will find it with you, anyway, the last thing we lack is time." ”

*

When Qiao Nian got home, it was close to the early hours of the morning, and when she returned to the villa, all the lights in the villa were turned off, and she thought that Li Yao hadn't come back yet.

I changed my shoes in the hallway, and the lights didn't turn on, so I went straight upstairs.

When passing by the living room, I smelled a faint smell of tobacco, stopped my footsteps, and then turned to walk towards the sofa in the living room: "Why don't you turn on the lights when you come back?" "Pass by the living room light switch and turn the light on.

Then he walked next to him and sat down, took the cigarette from his hand, and complained a little in his tone: "Didn't you say you want to quit smoking?" ”

Qiao Nian wanted to extinguish the cigarette in the ashtray, but was stopped by Li Yao, held her hand, and then took the unfinished cigarette from her hand with the other hand.

The tone was slow, casual and helpless: "I can't quit." ”

After a while, he added: "Smoking is the same as you, you can't quit." ”

After speaking, Li Yao pulled Qiao Nian to sit down beside him, his slender arms wrapped her in his arms, his chin buried deep in her neck socket, and for a while, his voice was hoarse and depressed: "Nian Nian, I never use perfume, do you know?" ”

Qiao Nian's body shook slightly, his arm was pressed between the chests of the two, and he wanted to push her away, but he was hugged tighter by Li Yao: "So, you and Qiao Yu have anything else besides brother and sisterhood?" ”

Qiao Yu also sent Qiao Nian back to the villa, and Li Yao naturally came back here after work.

However, it is so unfortunate.

Although the place where Qiao Yu parked was hidden, it was not completely invisible, and Li Yao just saw it.

He always felt that the relationship between Qiao Nian and Qiao Yu was a little strange, if it was just an ordinary friendship between brothers and sisters, Qiao Yu was not without a sister.

For Qiao Yan and Qiao Qin, Qiao Yu seems to be the same, but Qiao Nian is different.

On the bright side, Qiao Nian hacked the 2 billion people of their Qiao family with Ji Lan back then, and the biological mother of the two had such a hostile relationship, to say that because he had the same idea and didn't care about those things, for a while, Li Yao really couldn't convince himself.

He hugged her, his tone was gentle, but for no reason he was a little colder: "Niannian, do you have something...... Strange hobbies? Like what...... Do you have a soft spot for roles like brothers? ”

Even if Ji Bei has no blood relationship with her, nominally, Ji Bei is her cousin, and as for Qiao Yu, he has nothing to do with her now, but he is her half-brother.

If he hadn't seen Qiao Nian take the initiative to hug Qiao Yu today, perhaps, he wouldn't have these messy thoughts, and if it weren't for these messy thoughts, seeing Qiao Nian vomit like that, he should have gone over, and wouldn't let her throw herself into Qiao Yu's arms.

When has she ever been so fragile, so fragile that she needs to rely on someone else's shoulder?

Even he has never had such an honor, why should Qiao Yu?

"Is he your brother?" When he said this, Li Yao wanted to laugh himself: "Then I'm still your husband!" Did I give you a grievance? Do you have to complain to your brother and not talk to me openly and honestly? ”

Qiao Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice was slightly deep: "I don't want to be what you think, did you misunderstand?" ”

"Oh?" Li Yao's voice raised slightly, and it took a while to let go of her, Shen Ya's eyes were slightly constricted, and he couldn't see any emotion: "Then tell me, how did I misunderstand you?" ”

Qiao Nian swallowed his saliva, his lips opened, and after a while, he said in a steady voice: "I, I'm just too tired?" ”

"You're tired from work every day, I've never seen you like this before, and, even if you're tired, don't you still have me? You know it, as long as you are willing to tell me, no matter how far away I will immediately appear by your side, relying on me, and you want to rely on other men? Li Yao's tone was understated, not like blame, but every word he said seemed to drive Qiao Nian to a dead end.

Qiao Nian clenched his teeth, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Qiao Yu is just my brother, and I don't have any special preferences, just ...... It's so tiring. ”

She looked at Li Yao, gritted her teeth, and after a while, added: "I'm tired, I can't wait for you to come to me, and because he is my half-brother, I don't have so many worries, I didn't expect ......"

"Didn't you expect that I couldn't even tolerate him?"

Before she finished speaking, Li Yao directly pronounced what she wanted to say.

From the very beginning, Li Yao never fully trusted Qiao Yu, and allowed him to be by Qiao Nian's side, but he didn't want to see Qiao Nian have been in a stalemate with him because of the affairs of the brokerage company.

Qiao Yu's appearance, and allowing him to be there, was only to resolve the impasse between him and her.

He knew that this chess piece was never in his hands, and it was a matter of time before it got out of control, but he would never allow it to get out of control in such a bloody and disgusting thing.

Qiao Nian swallowed nervously, his brain hurt badly, he clenched his teeth, took a deep breath before stabilizing his voice: "If you mind, I just terminate the contract with him, it's not a big deal anyway?" ”

"Termination?" Li Yao seemed to hear a very funny joke: "Do you have a brokerage contract with Qiao Yu?" Young Master Qiao, is there a little bit of commission for you? ”

After Li Yao finished speaking, Qiao Nian suddenly understood.

Isn't it?

At the beginning, she said that she wanted to sign a brokerage contract with Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu said the same.

If there is no contract, what is the termination?

Thinking about it, Qiao Nian turned his head to look at Li Yao, the corners of his mouth raised, and said with a smile: "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

Li Yao looked at her, didn't speak for a long time, and for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Qiao Nian's eyebrows and eyes were full of puzzled doubts: "What do you call what's wrong with me?" Aren't you angry right now? So, what can I do to keep you from getting angry? ”

"You've never been so low in front of me before, have you forgotten?"

Qiao Nian: "But I also said it, I'm tired." ”

She said, looking up at him, "I'm a weak woman myself, I need someone to protect me, I used to be, and I still do. On my own, I may not survive tomorrow. ”

"Actually, from the day I found you, I should have seen this clearly, what you called, I would never have been so low-profile before, it was just an illusion, I was already low to the dust, the so-called high-profile is just a deceptive disguise. What gesture can I have? It's just a trick. ”

As Li Yao saw, Qiao Nian rarely showed weakness to him, so he couldn't see her showing her weak side to others, even if that person was Qiao Yu.

But calm down, what he can't get used to is her weakness?

The so-called, not in front of others.

In fact, is it enough in front of himself?

Again, no.

In the final analysis, he just can't get used to the weak Qiao Nian who can cry.

However, as Qiao Nian said, she knew him because she had nothing and sought his refuge.

It's just that over the years, he has been used to seeing Qiao Nian's strong and unyielding appearance, and he has forgotten Qiao Nian's original appearance.

Li Yao took a deep breath, propped his elbows on the sofa, and caressing his eyebrow bones with his calloused fingertips, and said slowly after a while: "Niannian, is there something wrong between us?" ”

Qiao Nian's voice was full of exhaustion: "I don't know. ”

What could be the problem?

Probably, she disappeared for more than half a month for no reason, self-righteous, came back without fear, and fell into it step by step.

From then on, everything was out of her control.

It's just that Qiao Nian didn't expect that Li Yao would have the same doubts as her.

She looked at Li Yao as if she were looking at a stranger.

This man, powerful and strange, was as if she had seen him three years earlier.

The two were at a stalemate.

The impasse that was resolved because of Qiao Yu was in the end, and because of him, he fell into this unsolvable stalemate again.

It's just that Li Yao and Qiao Nian are both smart people.

Since you know that there is no solution, no one will do anything in vain.

*

Li Yao still works, and Qiao Nian still goes to the crew to film.

Before her role arrived, she was like filming "Gossip Queen", lying down and resting in the lounge.

The medicine she asked Qiao Yu for was quickly obtained, but it was always placed on Qiao Yu's side, and when it was time to take the medicine, Qiao Yu would personally send it over.

Li Yao was angry because she hugged Qiao Yu, and Qiao Nian didn't tell Qiao Yu.

Anyway, she also knows Li Yao quite well, if it weren't for the acquiescence, he would have many ways to let Qiao Yu go, even if Qiao Yu had his back against the Qiao family.

After all, the reason why he was found in the first place was because of his ability to cover the sky with one hand, and no one was more convinced of Li Yao's ability than Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian's medicine has the ingredient of sleeping, so in addition to acting, Qiao Nian wants to sleep most of the time, and Qiao Yu also indulges her.

At this time, Qiao Nian really needed to rest.

In order to ensure Qiao Nian's safety, Qiao Yu has been staying next to her, screening contracts for her, and looking at the current traffic data.

So, when Ji Bei came over, he really didn't find out.

Ji Bei kicked his foot, he looked up, and when he saw that it was Ji Bei, he immediately put down the things in his hand and took Ji Bei to a place not far away.

Qiao Yu didn't say anything yet, but Ji Bei smiled: "What? Afraid of reaching Li Yao's ears? ”

When he said this, Qiao Yu didn't bother to refute anything.

It's not that I'm afraid that Li Yao will know, but ...... Qiao Nian was not suitable to see him at this time.

He didn't answer, and Ji Bei didn't mind, he took out his mobile phone, flipped out a photo and handed it to Qiao Yu: "Did Li Yao let her be wronged?" ”

That photo is the photo of Qiao Nian holding him that night.
