Cheng Rao is still sick.

In the nearly two years since Xiao Ye's accident, her body has been tossed to the point that she is not presentable, and she will catch a cold and fever if she is slightly cold.

The weather in Los Angeles has been relatively cold these days, and the temperature is not very stable, so she came out wearing a little clothes, so naturally there will be problems.

After drinking ginger tea, Cheng Rao returned to her room, lay down and fell asleep.

For the next few days, she was in a state of cold and cough.

Huang Ping said that she would take her to the hospital to hang water, but Cheng Rao refused.

She herself is a medical student, and if she has a cold, she will be fine in a week.

Moreover, she has already taken the medicine.

For the next five or six days, Cheng Rao rested at home, and her aunt came back, and someone cooked for her every day.

After almost a week, the cold was cured.

Cheng Rao was sick this time and had a bad appetite and couldn't eat anything.

I was sick for a week, dehydrated, and lost five pounds.

She was already very thin, and when her aunt saw her like this, she immediately made a bunch of delicious food for her.

However, Cheng Rao's appetite is really not big, and she can't eat much at all.

However, after raising it like this for a while, the weight slowly returned.

**

After breaking up with Wei Chi, Cheng Rao's life was very peaceful, and Wei Chi could be regarded as a decent gentleman, and he never contacted her after the breakup.

Of course, Cheng Rao herself didn't really want to contact him.

It is the best result to be able to cut it in two ways like this.

She had already told Director Lin about her resignation, and although Director Lin was a little surprised, she agreed later.

Then, he nagged her a few words by the way, asking her to communicate more with Huang Ping, and said that Huang Ping actually cared about her very much.

Cheng Rao has heard a lot of these words in the past few years, and she responded casually, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

Cheng Rao doesn't like to go out, she stays at home alone during the rest period, she buys a lot of professional books, and nests in the room every day after eating to read and take notes.

Cheng Rao plans to take the public dietitian qualification certificate.

When she was in college, she liked to take all kinds of certificates, and because she studied well, she could basically get them as long as she took the exam.

Xiao Ye half-jokingly told her before that she was so good, he wouldn't be worthy of her.

Studying and reading books can really distract people's attention, and Cheng Rao did not immerse herself in sad memories too much during this time.

During this time, she was in a good state, probably because she knew that Xiao Ye was still alive, so she suddenly felt that her life was full of hope.

The relationship between Cheng Rao and Huang Ping has also eased a lot, and seeing that the Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, Huang Ping has a rare holiday.

………

Huang Ping was on holiday the week before the Chinese New Year, and after she rested, Qiao Ruzhang also came with her.

When the two of them returned, it was dinner time.

Cheng Rao read a book for an afternoon, and after going downstairs, she happened to meet Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang who came back from the supermarket.

Qiao Ruzhang saw Cheng Rao coming down, and greeted her with a smile: "Rao." ”

"Uncle Qiao." Cheng Rao also smiled at Qiao Ruzhang.

During this time, the relationship between Cheng Rao and Huang Ping has obviously eased, so her attitude towards Qiao Ruzhang is much better than before.

Qiao Ruzhang heard Cheng Rao say this, and said with a smile: "Your mother and I went to the supermarket just now to buy some New Year's goods, do you want to eat chocolate?" ”

Cheng Rao nodded, "Okay." ”

Seeing that the two of them get along so harmoniously, Huang Ping is also very pleased.

Cheng Rao sat down in front of the coffee table, took out a chocolate from the bag and ate one.

Actually, she doesn't like chocolate very much, but she eats it once in a while and thinks it tastes good.

In the blink of an eye, Auntie had already made dinner, and Cheng Rao, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang went to the kitchen together.

After arriving at the kitchen, Qiao Ruzhang asked her aunt to go back first.

If you celebrate the New Year, you must give her a holiday.

As soon as Qiao Ruzhang said this, Cheng Rao understood what he meant, and it was estimated that he would be in charge of cooking in the next few days.

During the meal, Huang Ping asked about Cheng Rao's examination: "How are you reviewing?" ”

Cheng Rao: "Well, almost. ”

Huang Ping: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you have so many qualifications, don't worry." ”

Cheng Rao: "It's okay, just have fun, otherwise you won't have anything to do at home." ”

In the matter of learning, Cheng Rao has never been under pressure.

She is born with good grades, and she is the kind of student who doesn't need to waste too much time on her studies to get good grades.

Qiao Ruzhang asked Cheng Rao: "Do you want to go out for a walk during the Chinese New Year?" ”

He had planned to take Huang Ping abroad for the New Year, but Huang Ping said that he wanted to accompany Cheng Rao at home.

He can also understand Huang Ping, the relationship between mother and daughter has finally eased a little, and she naturally wants to spend more time on Cheng Rao.

However, Qiao Ruzhang thought that it would be good if Cheng Rao could go out on a trip with them during the Chinese New Year.

It's been a busy year, and it's time to relax, isn't it?

Cheng Rao was stunned for a moment, "Where to go?" ”

"I went to the beach in country M, and a friend of mine opened a hotel there, and the environment was not bad." Qiao Ruzhang asked Cheng Rao, "Are you interested?" ”

Country M.

Cheng Rao remembered that Zhang Chuchu said before that he had seen someone who looked exactly the same as Xiao Ye at the airport in country M.

She said that in K state, it is a coincidence that the beach Qiao Ruzhang said is also in K state.

Cheng Rao thought for a while, then nodded, "If you want to go, go together." ”

If you do the math, she hasn't traveled with Huang Ping for a long time.

The last time we went out together, Cheng Xun was still there.

Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang didn't expect Cheng Rao to agree so happily, the two of them glanced at each other, and after that, Qiao Ruzhang smiled and said, "Then I'll contact a friend later and let him come out of the family suite." ”

Cheng Rao said "um", which was a response.

Cheng Rao has never looked at Qiao Ruzhang objectively before, in fact, Qiao Ruzhang is really good.

Cheng Rao herself also knows that her temper will not please her elders, but Qiao Ruzhang has always been very good to her.

Whatever the reason, it's not easy to do this.

"That's right," Qiao Ruzhang looked sideways at Cheng Rao as if he remembered something, asking Cheng Rao's opinion: "My son may also go with him, will you mind?" ”

Oh yes, Qiao Ruzhang also has a son.

Cheng Rao has also heard Huang Ping say about this in the past few days, it is said that Qiao Ruzhang's son has just graduated from college and has just come back, and it seems that he is preparing to go to graduate school.

The age should be two or three years younger than Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao didn't care about this, she shook her head, "I don't mind." ”

"Well, then I'll call him together, otherwise he's home alone, and it's estimated that he will play games every day."

Speaking of his son, Qiao Ruzhang shook his head helplessly.

Later, he said to Cheng Rao: "The two of you are about the same age, and you can play together." ”

Cheng Rao pursed her mouth, feeling that Qiao Ruzhang really looked up to her.

Where can she play with people, with her temper, no one wants to be friends with her.

However, Cheng Rao didn't say this, Qiao Ruzhang said so, and she casually agreed in response.

………

That night, Qiao Ruzhang booked a ticket to country M, they all had visas, and they could leave at any time if they wanted.

It took a day to pack my luggage, and soon it was time to leave.

**

Two days before the Spring Festival, Cheng Rao, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang officially departed to the airport.

After arriving at the airport, Cheng Rao met the legendary son of Qiao Ruzhang.

The highest temperature in Los Angeles is only seven or eight degrees at this time, but in such weather, he wears a short-sleeved shirt with a pair of jeans underneath, canvas shoes from the collaboration between Converse and One Piece, and a headset around his neck.

This dress is a proper dress for a secondary two teenager.

However, he is good-looking, his height should be about 1.83 meters, and his body proportion is good.

Take a closer look, there is still a bit of resemblance between his eyebrows and Yu Chi.

That's right-think about it, Wei Chi is his cousin, the kind that is related by blood, it's not like it's strange.

After Qiao Ruzhang saw Qiao Yaoyu, he frowned and asked him, "Are you wearing such a little cold?" ”

Qiao Yaoyu chewed gum in his mouth, and said locally: "It's not cold, life is short, you have to be sexy." ”

Qiao Ruzhang: "......"

Qiao Yaoyu, this kid is like this when he is young, and he is extremely improper.

Qiao Ruzhang coughed, looked at Cheng Rao, and introduced Qiao Yaoyu: "This is Cheng Rao, you have to call my sister." Rao, this is my son, his name is Qiao Yaoyu. ”

"Hi, sister."

Qiao Yaoyu is quite easy to get along with, and after seeing Cheng Rao, he showed a mouthful of small white teeth and smiled brightly.

After that, he also stretched out his hand to Cheng Rao.

Cheng Rao felt that Qiao Yaoyu had a good attitude, so she stretched out her hand and shook it with him.

After Cheng Rao held it, Qiao Yaoyu scratched her palm with her fingers.

He was deliberately mischievous, how could Cheng Rao not understand.

However, Cheng Rao is immune to this kind of thing.

After a long time on the battlefield, this little action will not make her blush and heartbeat.

Qiao Yaoyu originally wanted to tease Cheng Rao, but she didn't expect her reaction to be so indifferent.

The prank failed, and he was a little upset.

Qiao Yaoyu withdrew his hand and didn't talk to Cheng Rao again.

At this time, Huang Ping took out a gift box from the box and handed it to Qiao Yaoyu.

She smiled at Qiao Yaoyu and said, "Give you a New Year's gift." ”

"Thank you, your stepmother is quite competent~" Qiao Yaoyu took the gift box with a smile.

He was laughing, but his tone was clearly sarcastic.

After meeting a few times before, Qiao Yaoyu's attitude towards Huang Ping was like this.

Huang Ping didn't mind much, Qiao Yaoyu was a little younger, and it was normal that she couldn't accept this kind of thing for a while.

Just like Cheng Rao couldn't accept Qiao Ruzhang at the beginning, the child's thoughts are almost the same.

What Huang Ping gave Qiao Yaoyu was a mechanical keyboard, and it was a limited edition.

Qiao Yaoyu is an electronics enthusiast, loves anime, and also loves to play games.

Huang Ping heard Qiao Ruzhang say before, and happened to see a limited edition mechanical keyboard, so he bought it for Qiao Yaoyu.

Cheng Rao stood next to her, and when she saw Qiao Yaoyu's attitude, she was a little dissatisfied.

She glanced at the gift box in Qiao Yaoyu's hand, and said to him directly: "If you don't want it, don't ask for it, don't be weird." ”

Qiao Yaoyu looked at Cheng Rao: "I didn't say I didn't want it!" ”

Speaking of this, he hugged the box tightly, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it away from him.

Cheng Rao felt that he was really naïve, so she snorted coldly and ignored him again.

They took the VIP channel and quickly completed the check-in process.

**

After getting on the plane, Huang Ping and Qiao Ruzhang sat in a row, and Cheng Rao naturally sat with Qiao Yaoyu.

When Qiao Yaoyu got on the plane, he held a tablet, a notebook, and headphones.

As soon as he sat down, he began to fiddle with the computer.

Cheng Rao didn't bother to look at him, so she took out the nutritionist's review materials from her bag and began to read.

Qiao Yaoyu has actually been paying attention to Cheng Rao's movements, and when she saw her take out the book from her bag, Qiao Yaoyu was amused.

Shit, nerd?

He had never seen anyone his age read a book on a plane.

Cheng Rao didn't pay attention to Qiao Yaoyu's movements at all, she just lowered her head and opened the book, and the book in front of her was suddenly taken away.

Cheng Rao frowned, raised her head and looked at Qiao Yaoyu on the side.

Qiao Yaoyu held her book in one hand and looked down at it.

"Give it back to me." Cheng Rao coldly spit out three words.

"I—just, no!" Qiao Yaoyu was stunned word by word.

"Sick." Cheng Rao was not provoked by him.

She has never had any great joys and sorrows, and Qiao Yaoyu's childish tricks have no effect in front of her at all.

Cheng Rao gave him a blank look, and didn't continue to grab books with him.

Qiao Yaoyu originally wanted to see her in a hurry, but she didn't expect her to be so calm, and suddenly lost the urge to play pranks.

felt bored, so Qiao Yaoyu returned the book to Cheng Rao.

Then, he asked Cheng Rao: "Are you a nerd?" ”

Cheng Rao ignored him, opened the book and looked down.

"Hey!" Qiao Yaoyu tugged at her hair, "What about what I asked you, can't you hear me?" What a nerd. ”

Qiao Yaoyu's action of pulling Cheng Rao's hair was not very hard, but Cheng Rao hated this action very much.

She raised her hand and patted Qiao Yaoyu's arm, "It's not that I don't understand human words." ”

Qiao Yaoyu raised his eyebrows angrily: "Are you scolding me for not being human?" ”

Cheng Rao turned a page of the book, and her voice was calm, "You said it yourself." ”

"......" Qiao Yaoyu was choked.

He has loved pranks since he was a child and rarely fails.

Today is one of the few times.

It seems that this stepsister ...... It's a bit hard to do.

Qiao Yaoyu touched her chin and thought to herself, before she came up with a good way to fix her, it was better to stay put.

So, he turned on the computer, plugged in his headphones, and watched "One Piece".

It takes thirteen hours to fly from Los Angeles to country M, and it is very quiet on the plane, Cheng Rao has been reading books and taking notes by the way.

She's the kind of person who easily immerses herself in her own world and doesn't pay much attention to what the people around her do.

Unknowingly, Cheng Rao had been reading the book for more than three hours.

When it was time for dinner, the flight attendants began to hand out dinner.

Cheng Rao was a little sleepy reading, and when dinner time came, she was napping.

Later, she was woken up by Qiao Yaoyu's voice speaking English.

When he speaks English, it's pretty good.

Cheng Rao thinks it's not voice-controlled, but Qiao Yaoyu's voice is really good.

When Cheng Rao raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, Qiao Yaoyu had already put coffee and dinner on the table in front of her.

Cheng Rao glanced at it and didn't say anything.

“fu*k。” Qiao Yaoyu burst into a foul mouth, "I said, sister, don't you know how to say thank you?" Is there any politeness? ”

"I didn't let you get it for me." Of course, Cheng Rao won't say thank you to him.

Qiao Yaoyu: "You are really ......"

He touched his chin and looked at Cheng Rao for a while, and said his guess: "You must have no friends, right?" ”

"Nope." Cheng Rao replied very simply this time.

Qiao Yaoyu smiled proudly, "I knew that an impolite nerd like you would definitely have no friends, and no man would like it, I guess you will definitely not be able to marry in the future." ”

"Oh." Cheng Rao only replied with one word.

Her attitude made Qiao Yaoyu feel like a fist was hitting the cotton-

Nerds are really nerds, and they don't know anything but reading.

After eating, Qiao Yaoyu continued to watch anime, while Cheng Rao put away the book and fell asleep on the plane.

For work reasons, she often flies, so sleeping on the plane is not a difficult task for her.

After Cheng Rao fell asleep, Qiao Yaoyu stared at her sideways for a while.

She has short hair and a slender neck that is exposed, and she has an indescribable sexiness.

Qiao Yaoyu grabbed the headphones in one hand, stared at her for a while, and swallowed his saliva.

After reacting, he quickly withdrew his gaze, hung the headphones on his ears, and continued to watch the anime.

**

When we arrived at Kzhou, it was one o'clock local time.

Qiao Ruzhang has friends here, and has arranged for someone to come to pick him up.

After taking the plane for such a long time, Huang Ping was very tired, so after returning to the hotel, she took a nap with Qiao Ruzhang first.

Cheng Rao also stayed in her room and lay down, only Qiao Yaoyu was alone playing games outside.

Cheng Rao was thirsty after lying on the bed for a while, so she got up and prepared to go to the living room to get water to drink.

As soon as he walked out, he saw Qiao Yaoyu sitting on the ground playing games.

He wears glasses while playing games, flip-flops on his feet, and cross-legged.

Cheng Rao really admired him, she didn't see him close her eyes along the way, and she still had the energy to play games at this time.

Cheng Rao took a bottle of soda and was about to go back to the room, but was grabbed by Qiao Yaoyu's calf.

Although Cheng Rao's body is not so sensitive now, her body still inevitably trembled when she was suddenly grabbed by a person of the opposite sex of the same age.

"Let go." Cheng Rao lowered her voice to warn him.

Seeing that she was so anxious, Qiao Yaoyu pinched it tighter, "I won't let it go." ”

"Neuropathy." Cheng Rao unscrewed the water bottle and poured soda water on his hair.

"I'm!!" Qiao Yaoyu threw away the handle and directly dragged Cheng Rao down.

There was still water in the water bottle in Cheng Rao's hand, and as soon as she fell down like this, all the water was spilled, and both of them were wet.

Cheng Rao wore a suspender, although she wore underwear inside, but after the suspender was wet, the color of the underwear inside could also be revealed.

After Qiao Yaoyu saw it, he immediately covered his eyes.

"Nerd, get up from me!" Qiao Yaoyu warned her.

Cheng Rao didn't feel anything, and got up from him very calmly.

Then, she walked over to the coffee table and wiped her chest with a few tissues.

"Hey, nerd, give me some tissues! Depend on! Stoned me. ”

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Cheng Rao smashed the paper drawer box on him.

Coincidentally, it happened to hit Qiao Yaoyu's forehead.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you?" Qiao Yaoyu took a tissue and wiped it a few times on his body, "Waiting for an opportunity to retaliate." ”

Cheng Rao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, turned around and prepared to go back to her house.

"Don't go!" Qiao Yaoyu grabbed her calf again, "I want to play a two-player game, you fight with me." ”

Cheng Rao: "Nerds don't know how to play games. ”

Qiao Yaoyu: "Yo, you still hold a grudge, right?" ”

Cheng Rao: "......"

Qiao Yaoyu: "My sister has to let my younger brother, if you don't play games with me, your mother will marry her in the future, and I will bully her to death." ”

"Neurotic, naïve."

Now there is no need to doubt it, she can be sure that Qiao Yaoyu is definitely a secondary disease.

"Sister, let's play a game." Qiao Yaoyu raised his eyebrows, "You won't teach you." ”

Cheng Rao glanced down at the gamepad, "Just one plate." ”

Cheng Rao doesn't know how to play games, and she hasn't touched it before.

fought against Qiao Yaoyu, and was soon killed by him.

Qiao Yaoyu watched Cheng Rao's character being beaten by herself, and she was so happy.

Cheng Rao has never played a game, of course she can't play Qiao Yaoyu.

Therefore, the final result was that Cheng Rao was killed by Qiao Yaoyu.

After playing a game, Qiao Yaoyu was so happy that he looked at Cheng Rao triumphantly.

Cheng Rao rolled her eyes, thinking that he was like a three-year-old child.

"I'll go to sleep."

"I said, sister, you're so boring." Qiao Yaoyu said, "It's really easy for someone like you not to get married. ”

"It's your business." Cheng Rao replied to him with four words, got up and returned to the room.

**

L.a..

Approaching the Spring Festival, Wei Chi didn't feel the atmosphere of reunion.

Before, he originally thought that he would also spend the Spring Festival with Cheng Rao this year.

It was impossible to go back to Wei's house, he felt that there was no place for him in that house, and even if they called him, he would not go back.

Now that he has broken up with Cheng Rao, his original plan has also been disrupted.

During this time, Wei Chi has been using various contacts to investigate the affairs of the year.

He was sure that there was definitely something wrong with Song Hui's side.

Before you know it, it's almost the Spring Festival.

Wei Chi received many text messages of blessings, and out of politeness, he replied one by one.

A few days before the Spring Festival, Rongguang called Wei Chi and told him to go out for a get-together.

Since breaking up with Cheng Rao, Wei Chi has been nesting at home for more than ten days.

So, he agreed to Glory's request and went out to meet them.

Rongguang booked a winery, and when Wei Chi arrived, everyone had already arrived.

Jiang Mingcheng came alone, Chen Jing brought Yue Li over again, and Shiyin sat next to Rongguang.

"Huh? What about Xiao Rao? Seeing Wei Chi walk in, Rongguang poked his head and looked back, "You didn't bring her with you?" ”

Speaking of Cheng Rao, Wei Chi's face became a little gloomy.

Jiang Mingcheng and Chen Jing glanced at each other, and the two of them asked together: "Quarreled?" ”

Yu Chi didn't speak, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Yue Li smiled and said to Wei Chi: "Girls, it's good to coax, eldest brother should learn how to coax women." ”

"Yue Li, you don't understand! It's hard to coax Xiao Rao. Rongguang touched his chin, "Big brother, I look at you, just go on-"

"Don't talk about it." Wei Chi interrupted Rong Guang's words and told him directly: "I broke up with Cheng Rao." ”
