Chapter 14 Mixed feelings
Xue Xinyan and I walked for about 20 minutes and found Xiao Qing's mother's accounting company, the company is the kind of conventional faΓ§ade building, with two floors, the first floor is the hall responsible for reception or discussion, and the second floor is the office area, and there are two beautiful women at the front desk looking down at something.
After Xue Xinyan and I arrived at the front desk, a beautiful woman raised her head and said to me with a smile: "Hello, what is the .....?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting on the stairs: "It's Wang Tao, why did you come?"
It was Xiao Qing's voice, I looked for prestige, and when I saw Xiao Qing's slim figure standing there, I suddenly felt a sense of guilt surging in my heart, my face was inexplicably red, my heart was beating uneasily, I walked over a little embarrassed, and said while walking: "So you are here, I thought you would sleep at home on Saturday."
Xiao Qing looked at Xue Xinyan, who was as beautiful as a flower behind me, her face changed suddenly, and she said with a gloomy face: "Come on, my mother is working on the second floor." β
Xiao Qing's mother is still as amiable as ever, her words are gentle, and the things she explains have a beginning and an end, which makes me deeply impressed.
Xue Xinyan is here to do chores, copy some documents, clean and clean, Xiao Qing's mother gave her a few books, let her read carefully when she is free, and learn slowly, although the salary is not much, but she is also relaxed, and she can also follow Xiao Qing's mother to learn professional knowledge, the best of both worlds.
After Xue Xinyan stayed, I walked out of the accounting company and stood at the door, I looked aimlessly left and right, an irritable heart had nowhere to put it, and I didn't understand why I was in such a mood, just when I was about to take a step to leave, Xiao Qing pushed open the door of the company and walked out, after seeing my puzzled expression, she smiled and said: "Why did you go in such a hurry, isn't it Saturday today, there is something to do when you go home?" β
I was a little overwhelmed and didn't dare to look at Xiao Qing's eyes, so I put my hands in my trouser pockets, and said with wandering eyes: "No, it's nothing, staying here will affect their work." β
After finishing speaking, my eyes drifted to Xiao Qing's face, she was graceful and elegant, nearly 170 tall and graceful, her delicate face made people extremely excited, her fair skin had no blemishes, she wore a clean ponytail, a few strands of hair hung down to her forehead, she neatly touched her hands behind her ears, she was wearing a white T-shirt on her upper body, and the T-shirt was printed with a national treasure panda, which was extremely playful and cute, wearing loose black cropped pants on her lower body, and a pair of silver scoop shoes on her feet, which was more and more pure and beautiful, impeccable.
Xiao Qing was a little embarrassed by me, she lowered her head and coughed lightly, and I woke up suddenly, looked back in embarrassment, and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do today?" β
"If nothing else, just stay at my mom's company"
"Auntie's company is very busy now, and with your help in running before and after, I also share a lot of responsibilities for Auntie."
"It's good if I don't do my mom a favor."
"Uh, would you like to eat together at noon?"
After saying that, I looked down at my watch, and it was time for lunch at half a o'clock.
Since I was in high school, I haven't been alone with Xiao Qing, although we are all best friends, but after a long time, it is inevitable that we will be a little rusty, even when we are together, there is Sun Kai by her side.
She readily agreed.
We found a fish pot shop not far from her mother's company, because it has not yet arrived, there are not a few customers in it, I picked a seat near the window and sat down, the decoration of this shop is very simple, but it is elegant, the restaurant space on the first floor is very large, so eat here, the boring mood has eased a lot.
There was a big pot on the table between me and Xiao Qing, the waiter came over to add soup, put the ingredients, turn on the fire, and after it was done in one go, he handed us a menu, the menu is full of all kinds of commonly eaten fish, and there are all kinds of seafood to choose from, I was dazzled, I ordered a carp and crucian carp casually, and handed the menu to Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing smiled and said: "These two things are fine, not enough to order more." β
Then the waiter took the menu back to the kitchen.
I chatted with Xiao Qing about the school's essay contest, as well as school teachers and other topics, and the waiter came over with a large plate with fish, she put the two fish into the pot, covered the pot, the whole process was clean and neat, and after completing this, she walked into the bar and sat down, bowing her head and playing with her mobile phone.
The fish was delicious and delicious, I ate with relish, full of praise, Xiao Qing didn't eat much, and after a while, she gently wiped her mouth with a napkin, which represented the completion of the meal.
I asked suspiciously, "Why did you eat this, are you full?" β
Xiao Qing looked at me and smiled: "Don't you know how much I have eaten since I was a child?"
I nodded in relief and continued eating.
Suddenly my eyes were covered by a pair of hands, and I was so shocked that I was about to break them with my hands, when a familiar voice came from my ears: "Honey." β
This was followed by exaggerated giggles.
Is it Qin Xiaolan I stood up in shock and looked back, sure enough, it was her.
I looked at her awkwardly and said, "How did you get here?" β
She glared at me and said, "Whoever rules the restaurant will allow you to come and eat." β
After speaking, he pouted.
I saw that there were two elders behind her, who should be Qin Xiaolan's parents, so I said hello.
Xiao Qing also stood up and greeted politely.
At this time, Qin Xiaolan turned to a noble, rich, and luxuriously dressed woman and said, "Mom, this is my tablemate and my boyfriend." β
After speaking, he raised his lovely Sassoon head, with a look of pride and happiness.
Her mother patted her head dotingly and said, "It's just a little older, just fall in love, it's not allowed, put your mind on studying." β
Her father smiled and said, "Yes, at a young age, you don't study hard, you have some messy things in your little head." β
Qin Xiaolan ignored the persuasion of his parents, and took my hand and said, "I just like him, you don't care." β
I looked at Xiao Qing embarrassedly, Xiao Qing's face was already cloudy at this time, her delicate figure was trembling because of overstimulation, her shining beautiful eyes were full of sad reflections, her face was distorted and deformed because of sadness, she bit her thin lips tightly and stood there.
Qin Xiaolan saw me staring at Xiao Qing, and also turned his head to look at Xiao Qing and said, "Hey, isn't this the girl who was in the Internet cafΓ© last time?" β
I hurriedly said, "This is my friend, we have dinner together today and Saturday, and you should go and accompany your uncle and aunt to dinner." β
With that, I'm about to break free of her little hands.
Who knew that she clenched tighter, and said coldly: "Why don't you eat with me on Saturday?" β
I smiled bitterly and said, "You didn't ask me to accompany you, and besides, I don't have a mobile phone, don't you have your parents with you, be obedient, go to dinner." β
Her mother also came over at this time and pulled her and said, "Xiaolan, don't make trouble, let your classmates eat well." β
Qin Xiaolan said coldly: "Hmph, I'll let you go for the time being, and I'll clean you up when I go to school." β
After saying that, he pinched my face.
After Qin Xiaolan left, Xiao Qing didn't speak, and there was a faint sadness under her gloomy cheeks.
I asked her tentatively, "What's wrong with you, Xiao Qing, is there anything uncomfortable?" β
Xiao Qing shook her head lightly and said, "I've finished eating, I'll go back first." β
I saw Xiao Qing leave like a gamble, and my heart was flustered.
hurriedly said to her, "Xiao Qing, are you angry with me?" β
Xiao Qing lowered her head and did not squeak.
I asked again, "If I'm doing something wrong, you can tell me." β
She remained silent.
I was even more anxious when I saw this
"Is it because Xue Xinyan went to your mother and caused you inconvenience? If that's the case, you don't have to be too embarrassed, she can find another job, you don't have to worry. β
I watched her, her bright eyes filled with tears, crystal clear and measurable, and her delicate red lips were white from the bite blowing.
I asked her over and over again, but she just lowered her head, bit her thin lip, and refused to speak.
I was a little annoyed, and the irritability spread out again.
"Xiao Qing, what's wrong with you? Was it bullied by classmates at school, or something happened at home, the three of us didn't hide anything from childhood to adulthood, you tell me. β
I was a little angry, and the volume was raised a lot.
Xiao Qing slowly raised her head, looking at me with teary eyes, I felt a pain in my heart when I saw this, I had never seen Xiao Qing cry so sadly, her appearance was aimless, extremely anxious.
She choked up and said, "Wang Tao, I don't want to see you like this now." β
I was a little short-circuited, stunned for a moment, and asked, "What am I like now?" No matter what it looks like, it won't make you cry to this extent. Let Sun Kai see it and think I'm bullying you. β
Xiao Qing sobbed and said, "I don't like your current attraction of bees and butterflies, the scenery is infinite." β
I looked at her in amazement, my thoughts were confused, I didn't know what to say, my heart was not settled, I looked at the girl in front of me who grew up together, mixed feelings, and pity.
Then I asked softly, "Are you, did you cry because I had a girlfriend at school?" β
I just wanted to ask her tentatively, but she suddenly stood up and shouted hoarsely: "No, no, no, don't ask again, what does it matter to me whether you have a girlfriend or not." β
After saying that, he pushed away his chair and ran out.
My eyes widened, I couldn't believe that Xiao Qing would be such an incoherent gaffe, she had always been a polite, soft-spoken girl, even if she encountered difficulties, she only frowned, and she had never been so violent and rude as she was now.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly ran to the bar to check out, and then opened the door and chased out, Xiao Qing rubbed her eyes with her hands while running, and her soft murmur turned into intermittent gasps because of the fast running, and I was extremely sad.
I grabbed her wrist and grabbed her, and a few passers-by passed by, looking at me with contempt on their faces, and I didn't even realize it.
After catching Xiao Qing, I asked her in a low voice: "Xiao Qing, if you don't like me like this, I won't have a girlfriend in the future, and I won't associate with other girls, okay, as long as you don't cry and don't get angry with me, I can change it." β
Xiao Qing looked at me, shook her head aggrievedly and said, "Wang Tao, I said, it doesn't matter to me what you do, you don't need to ask my opinion, you just have a good time." β
When I heard this, I was even more puzzled, and I couldn't understand her mind at all.
I was in turmoil, and this unexplained farce left me at a loss, and made me feel irritable and angry.
"Then you tell me why, what the hell is it, what did I do wrong, where did I cry sadly, where did I do it disqualified, you tell me."
I shouted loudly, grabbing Xiao Qing's thin shoulders and shaking them.
Xiao Qing stared at her crying red eyes and said loudly: "Because I like you, because of this messy feelings, because of the thoughts buried in my heart, because of the fantasies all day long, are these enough?" β
After saying this, his whole body trembled, and large strings of tears slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the dry earth.
From elementary school to high school, Xiao Qing is the one who works hardest and hardest, she is also the source of Sun Kai's strength, and the holy goddess in his heart, which cannot be defiled or violated, just like being defined by textbooks, she has been Sun Kai's since she was a child, and she does not give others a chance to get close to her, please her, and pursue her.
I suddenly found that when Xiao Qing had the courage to put aside Sun Kai and choose for herself, the definition of the so-called textbook was simply nonsense, it was simply self-deception, and this definition, which was itself stormy, was effortlessly broken, torn, and discarded.
I looked at the girl in front of me, mixed with joy and sorrow, I never thought that Xiao Qing would like me, although I have always had a soft spot for her, secretly affectionate, but until today, she stood in front of me, plucked up the courage to say that she liked me, and my anxious mood was also taken away by a burst of coolness.
I looked at Xiao Qing with red eyes and said, "Xiao Qing, I can't be with you, Sun Kai is your choice." β
Xiao Qing squeezed out a wry smile and said, "Sun Kai is my best brother, but I don't have any other feelings for him." β
"Do you know how much damage it will do to Sun Kai if the two of us are together?"
"I can't force myself to be with someone I don't love."
"Xiao Qing, I have a girlfriend now, you also saw it just now."
"I don't care, I just like you as a person, nothing else matters."
"I'll break up with Qin Xiaolan."
"I didn't force you."
I saw that she was much more stable, so I took her into my arms and gently patted her on the back.
It wasn't until now that I found out that Xiao Qing is the one I love the most, I have been secretly liking her and paying attention to her, and being able to hold him in my arms today can be regarded as the best explanation for myself at present, no matter what the future changes.
I don't want to be sorry for Sun Kai because I like Xiao Qing, I went to Sun Kai's house to find him that night, and told him what I like Xiao Qing, after he heard it, he was silent, looked down and read the book, I said to him a little impatiently: "Sun Kai, I know you have always liked Xiao Qing, but I can't deceive myself, now Xiao Qing and I have come together, I don't want to destroy the relationship between us because of this, can you understand me." β
After Sun Kai heard this, he said coldly: "Wang Tao, why are you still virtuous when you were a child, always with a high-minded and empathetic attitude, Xiao Qing, it is her own choice for the two of you to be together, I can't control it, you don't have to cry and fake mercy." β
My heart aches, Sun Kai listened to me very much since I was a child, he thinks what I said is right, today Sun Kai has let go of his previous views, he has grown up, he has seen it, the friendship between us has faded, he has his own ideals and goals, so that others can not shake and touch.
My nose was a little sour, and I looked at Sun Kai with a cold face and said, "Sun Kai, we are still friends." β
Sun Kai's cold gaze kept staring at the books on the table, and he said contemptuously, "Go out." β
I almost cried, tears were rolling, my heart was so heavy and depressed, I stood up in grief, walked to the door and looked back at him, he rubbed his brows, as if he was immersed in a chaotic thought, extremely painful.
When I told Qin Xiaolan to break up, she was not noisy or noisy, she looked indifferent and light, not at all like her style, she only said lightly: "What I like, there is nothing I can't get." β
In the days that followed, Qin Xiaolan followed me crazy as usual, and still regarded me as her boyfriend, so that the male classmates in the class did not dare to approach her, and I was helpless.
In the blink of an eye, the essay contest began, the participating students estimated that there were more than 300 people, the examination room was set up in our school, I met Xiao Qing when I first arrived at the school, she smiled and walked towards me, cheering for me, Sun Kai, who usually followed her as always, disappeared, which made me very sad and sad, I pretended to ask Xiao Qing easily: "Didn't Sun Kai also sign up for the competition, why didn't you see others." β
"I didn't see him, I came straight to your school from home."
At this time, Sun Kai walked over slowly, his face was extremely bad, his pupils were red and bloodshot, his hair was unkempt, as if he was resting extremely badly, I hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Why are you here, the exams are about to start."
He stared at me for a few seconds, did not speak, Xiao Qing was about to say something to him, he walked straight to the teaching building, did not turn his head, and his high back looked desolate and helpless.
Xiao Qing looked at me embarrassed, and I said to Xiao Qing: "I told him about the two of us together, maybe he hasn't recovered yet, so don't take it too seriously, let's take the exam well." β
Xiao Qing said apologetically: "I really don't want to affect Sun Kai because of the two of us, and I'm even more afraid of losing this friend." β
I comforted her and said, "Since you have chosen, don't regret it, there are some things that you should face and you can't escape." β
Xiao Qing nodded with relief.
My exam room was on the first floor, the single table was stretched far away, and a few students were muttering, as if they were guessing the subject of the essay exam.
The exam began, and when the test paper was sent, I glanced at the subject matter, and sighed for a while, what kind of essay is this, and the big title reads: Please write your own opinion on the background of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
I almost passed out, and I quickly recalled some of my memories about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in my mind, which was explained in junior high school history books, as well as "Guiguzi" and "Sun Pang Romance" that my father often read, these two books were also written during the Warring States Period.
I tried my best to use gorgeous rhetoric to decorate my words, and wrote the only few names into it, such as Bai Qi, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Lian Po, etc., and then tried to use up as much as possible to return to Zhao, Wei Wei to save Zhao, and other allusions to supplement my defects, the whole 2,000 words, I got it in half an hour, I read it a few times before and after, and felt that it was okay, so I handed in the test paper and walked out of the classroom.
