Her mask finally had to be removed.

At that time, they had just refueled the car from a small town they had passed, Yue Peng bought a lot of food, and packed some meals from the restaurant, fortunately their luggage was not too much, otherwise these things alone would be enough to take up space, Jiang Mingle was not surprised, he and Yue Peng took turns driving, this snowfall was a wide range of the country, they had not stopped the snow along the way, there were fewer people along the way, and there was a special beauty everywhere they went.

Jiang Mingle received messages from Chen Fenglan from time to time, and after receiving it, he would show it to Qiao Anxin, Qiao Anxin's hanging heart was put down little by little, it was Jiang Mingle's turn to drive, Yue Peng did the back seat rest, Qiao Anxin sat in the passenger seat, Yue Peng looked at Jiang Mingle, and then looked at Qiao Anxin, and finally couldn't help it, he asked Qiao Anxin: "I said Qiao Meiren, I asked you a question abruptly." ”

"What?"

Yue Peng pointed to his face, "Mask, Qiao Meiren, why do you keep wearing a mask." ”

Qiao Anxin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Mingle, and Jiang Mingle said: "Yue Peng, even if a girl has a pox, she can always wear a mask to cover it until the acne is gone." ”

This time it was Yue Peng's turn to be stunned, and he was surprised: "So Qiao Meiren, are you having acne?" Startled me, I just wanted to ask when I saw you, I'm not embarrassed, I've been thinking about it, don't be disfigured by a good beauty......"

"Yue Peng......" Jiang Mingle said helplessly.

"It's okay" Qiao Anxin said, she took off the hat she had been wearing in the morning, and the gauze wrapped around her forehead was exposed, Qiao Anxin thought that it would be Yue Peng who saw it first, but before Yue Peng's exclamation, Jiang Mingle's car was unstable first, and he almost hit the ditch on the side of the road, but fortunately he reacted quickly and quickly stabilized.

"Oh my God, Qiao Meiren, what's wrong with you?" Yue Peng almost stood up from the back seat.

As soon as the car stabilized, Qiao Anxin regretted his recklessness, looked at Jiang Mingle's obviously twisted eyebrows, and said: "It's just that I accidentally received some injuries before, the injuries are not serious, but there are a lot of small wounds, I am afraid of scaring you, so I have been wearing a mask." ”

"Take off the mask and I'll take a look." Jiang Mingle said, his voice was different from usual, and it even brought some seriousness.

Qiao Anxin was stunned and slowly took off his mask.

The shallow wounds on the face have almost healed, they have scabbed, the deeper wounds are slowly healing, the most serious wounds are on the forehead, and the ones on the face are not major injuries, but there are many of them...... In addition to what looks like a scratch from a fingernail, there are also deep and shallow bruises......

At first glance, it's really not good-looking.

Yue Peng's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah! Qiao Meiren, what's wrong with your face?! ”

Jiang Mingle didn't react like this, but I don't know if it was her illusion, Qiao Anxin felt the anger on him for a moment......

She looked at him, and her voice couldn't help lowering, "Jiang Mingle? ”

"He's hurt?" Jiang Mingle frowned deeply, and his voice carried a gloom that could not be ignored.

He is a stranger like this, Qiao Anxin saw Jiang Mingle like this for the first time, he has always been bright and a little ruffian in front of her, the first time he saw him like this, Qiao Anxin was stunned again......

"No, it wasn't him who hurt him, it was me who accidentally ......" Qiao Anxin said, and in the end, in Jiang Mingle's increasingly locked gaze, he couldn't help but lower his voice even more.

"There was some accident, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before."

Yue Peng obviously felt that Jiang Mingle's aura was different from the past, and he was a little surprised in his heart, Jiang Mingle would hardly show such an emotion similar to anger, he had always smiled freely and wantonly, and the last time he saw him so abnormal was because of ......

Yue Peng looked at Jiang Mingle, who didn't have a smile on his face, and then looked at Qiao Anxin, who lowered his head slightly, and his tone was apologetic, and couldn't help but shut up, between the two of them......

Jiang Mingle looked at the deep and shallow marks on Qiao An'an's face, took a deep breath, and said, "It's Anjia." ”

Qiao Anxin paused, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at him, she knew that Jiang Mingle was not simple, but she didn't expect him to be so keen, and she guessed that it was An Jia......

She didn't answer.

Jiang Mingle didn't force her, he turned his head and continued to drive.

Yue Peng looked at him and said carefully: "Mingle, do you want to change my ......?"

"No, you don't." Jiang Mingle immediately said.

He, angry?

Qiao Anxin tilted his head slightly and glanced at Yue Peng, who was sitting in the back row.

Yue Peng looked directly at her face, although he had seen it in the rearview mirror, but the impact from the front was still more intense, and his good face became like this, no wonder Mingle ......

Yue Peng gestured to Qiao Anxin and made a lip shape, Qiao Anxin finally understood, this was to ask her to apologize to Jiang Mingle and be soft......

It was indeed she who hid it from him first, and thought that it would be okay to say this later, but Jiang Mingle's reaction was indeed beyond her expectations.

"Jiang Mingle, you ...... Angry with me? Finally, she said.

It wasn't loud, but it was enough for the people in the car to hear it clearly.

Yue Peng closed his eyes, but his ears were pricked up.

After Qiao Anxin finished speaking, his eyes kept staring at him, as if he didn't stop hearing his answer.

After a while, Jiang Mingle finally exhaled slightly, glanced at her, and said, "Yes, I'm angry, rest assured, do you know what I'm angry about?" ”

"Because I'm hiding it from you." Qiao Anxin replied quickly, but he shook his head.

Qiao was relieved, "What's the reason for that?" ”

"Don't worry, because you never considered me a friend."

Joe reflexively retorted: "I didn't! ”

She had indeed done this before, but it was because that person disagreed, but from the time she decided to leave, after bothering Jiang Mingle so much, how could she not treat him as a friend?

"You don't tell me about Anjia, because you're afraid of troublesome me, but don't worry, if your friend needs you for something, you will think of the word 'trouble'?"

He said.

With that, the car fell silent, and the sound of the car moving and the sound of snowflakes hitting the windows was the only sound of a few people breathing.

Qiao Anxin's face turned red, but he couldn't even say anything to refute for a while. She suddenly remembered a sentence she had seen, and among the things that others say about you, the ones that hurt you the most are often those you yourself think so.

As soon as Jiang Mingle's words came out, there was a bang in her head, and then the blood gathered on her face, and even she didn't know whether she was more ashamed or angry.

Yue Peng's closed eyes trembled, but after a while, Jiang Mingle opened his mouth and continued: "Peace of mind, I'm not blaming you, in fact, I'm angry more because I'm angry with myself, in fact, strictly speaking, we haven't known each other long enough, and we've not been together for a long time, but I don't know how you feel, anyway, I make friends a lot of times by feeling, when I first saw you, I felt that you fell in love, so I have been getting along with you like a friend, and now I'm wondering, is it in the eyes of you girls, I am not courteous?" ”

When he said this, Qiao Anxin felt warm in his heart, "No, I think because I am the opposite of you, I don't have many friends, so the more I care about the person, the more I don't want to trouble him...... This may be a sign of insecurity......"

The secluded road, the heavy snow, the small car, unexpectedly, Qiao Anxin said what was in his heart.

The words "the person you care about" fell on Jiang Mingle's ears, and a bright light quickly flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Mingle hadn't spoken yet, but Yue Peng, who was in the back seat, couldn't hold back any longer, and sat up, "I'm happy, you're really sour, I've known you for so long, and you've never told me that you're a friend or not, if you don't fall in love, Qiao Meiren will be sour with someone, if you want me to say, Qiao Meiren, you don't care about him, don't treat you as a friend, if I, don't treat you as a friend, can I entrust my mother to you?" Can I go all the way to Nancheng with you in a broken car on such a cold day? ”

As soon as Yue Peng's words came out, Jiang Mingle exploded: "I didn't mean that!" ”

"What do you mean? The face of the person Qiao Meiren was originally injured, shouldn't she pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at this time? Are you still angry? ”

"You!" Jiang Mingle was happy with you for a long time, looking at Yue Peng's appearance with his neck stalked, and he was speechless.

Yue Peng winked at him, and in Jiang Mingle's spare time, Qiao Anxin sat quietly, hanging his head slightly, his shoulders shrugged slightly, obviously laughing.

Jiang Mingle breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

That's it, that's good, Yue Peng knows him best, and when he saw the injury on her face just now, he couldn't help but think of that person......

And so the man was, and fell before him covered with bruises......

"Jiang Mingle." Qiao Anxin suddenly spoke up and called him.

"Huh?"

"Nothing." She said.

The two of them said nonsensical words, but their hearts fell steadily.

Qiao Anxin knew that most of Yue Peng's words were for her to go down the stairs, after all, whether it was entrusting her mother to Jiang Mingle or following him to Nancheng thousands of miles away, the biggest reason was just her ...... There is no choice.

The car kept driving, the road kept walking, and the snow kept falling, and Qiao An'an looked out the window and didn't say anything more.

At this time, it must have been the time when the man fainted......

She tried not to think about what would happen to Night City, and she forced herself not to think about how the man would react if he knew he was gone......

It wasn't until Jiang Mingle's phone rang again that Qiao Anxin woke up from his self-deception.

How could she be so simple...... Really left him.
