Chapter 46: Estrangement

Zhong Qing walked aimlessly on the street alone, I don't know how long she walked, and she didn't know how far she walked, until a white car stopped in front of her, and she didn't stop.

Xu Ruo lowered the window and seemed relieved when he saw Zhong Qing.

"My sister called me and said you were out alone, I searched for a long time, and finally found you." Xu Ruo glanced at the time, it was almost eight o'clock: "Get in the car, I'll take you to dinner." ”

Zhong Qing was stunned for a while, walked into the car slowly, Xu Ruo handed her a cup of warm milk tea, Zhong Qing held it in the palm of her hand, and gradually felt the warmth flowing through her limbs.

It's just that thinking of what Xu Zhiyan said before, Zhong Qing's mood is still very low, and she gradually feels that the milk tea in her hand is no longer warm, she just wants to go home.

Xu Ruo saw that she was in a bad mood, parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and bought two red bean cakes for her.

"When you were in a bad mood when you were a child, you always had to eat two red bean cakes." Xu Ruodao: "I don't know if this habit has changed now?" ”

Zhong Qing lowered her eyelids, holding the red bean cake but did not eat it. Xu Ruo didn't say anything anymore, the car turned off, and he sat in the driver's seat and quietly accompanied Zhong Qing.

"Knowing her...... I really like Gu Xiu. Zhong Qing's voice was a little desolate in the night, and Xu Ruo turned her head to look at her in confusion, not knowing how she could say such a thing.

"My sister likes Gu Xiu very much, and when she was studying abroad, she kept telling me that she would let Gu Xiu be my brother-in-law in the future." Xu Ruodao: "The relationship between the two of them has always been very good, although my sister said that they have not yet reached the step of dating, but I think they will be together sooner or later, although my sister's personality is like a tomboy, but she is still very feminine sometimes." ”

Zhong Qing remembered the tears that Xu Zhiyan shed in the Japanese restaurant before, maybe the woman who has been strong for many years suddenly cried, which is the most distressing thing for men, right?

Thinking of this, Zhong Qing felt uncomfortable, she took a big bite of red bean cake, trying to sweeten the bitter taste, but found that the more she ate, the more sad she became.

"Eat slowly." Xu Ruo handed over the milk tea and said to Zhong Qing, "Don't choke." ”

"It's fine." Zhong Qing swallowed the last bite of red bean cake, turned to Xu Ruo and said, "Can you tell me the story of Xu Zhiyan and Gu Xiu, I really want to hear it." ”

Although he felt a little strange, Xu Ruo didn't refuse, he nodded and said, "Many stories were told to me by my sister, and some of them can't be remembered clearly, so let's think about it." ”

Zhong Qing sat next to Xu Ruo, listening to his voice, imagining the picture of Xu Zhiyan and Gu Xiu together in his mind-

"At that time, Gu Xiu worked in a restaurant, and my sister often went to eat, and the two of them became familiar with each other, and my sister sometimes went to visit Gu Xiu when she didn't have classes."

"Later, my sister and Gu Xiu took the same major class, and the two would sometimes meet, my sister would sometimes help Gu Xiu occupy a place, and sometimes Gu Xiu would bring her a cup of coffee in gratitude."

"Actually, some classmates jokingly asked if they were together, but my sister didn't dare to admit that she liked Gu Xiu because she was shy, so she said that she was Gu Xiu's iron buddy, which was actually quite stupid, but my sister said that only in this way could she stay by Gu Xiu's side."

When Xu Ruo said this, he suddenly laughed: "In addition, my sister is also selfish, because she said that she is Gu Xiu's iron buddy, so she always refuses other women's confessions for Gu Xiu, and she hasn't even told Gu Xiu many times, the girls in her school must hate my sister to death......"

Zhong Qing held the cup of milk tea until the milk tea really became cold in her hands, and Xu Ruo's story was almost over.

"It's the first time I've seen my sister like someone so much, she always talks about Gu Xiu when she calls me, in fact, I'm a little jealous."

"But after I came into contact with Gu Xiu, I realized that Gu Xiu was actually really good, so I supported my sister to chase him, although there was no result until now, but I wanted to ...... Xiaoqing? Xiaoqing, what's wrong with you? ”

Zhong Qing's tears overwhelmed Xu Ruo, he didn't know which sentence he said wrong, and he actually made Zhong Qing cry without warning.

"I'm fine." Zhong Qing wiped away her tears and said, "I just think it...... Zhiyan has a favorite person for the first time, which is good. ”

Xu Ruo felt that something was wrong, since she saw Zhong Qing today, her state was not quite right, she originally thought that she had just been discharged from the hospital and her body was a little weak, but later Zhong Qing said that she wanted to listen to the story of Xu Zhiyan and Gu Xiu, and after listening to it, she began to shed tears again, which obviously seemed to be something.

But Zhong Qing didn't want to say it, Xu Ruo couldn't ask the reason, he didn't know what to do.

"Thank you for the red bean cake, I'm fine." Zhong Qing wiped away her tears and raised a gentle smile, Xu Ruo slowly parked the car downstairs in Zhong Qing's apartment, Zhong Qing thanked him, opened the car door and wanted to get out of the car.

"Zhong Qing." Xu Ruo in the car suddenly screamed, and Zhong Qing turned around.

Xu Ruo unbuckled his seat belt, leaned over and gently hugged Zhong Qing, I don't know how many times this kind of hug happened when they were young, so Zhong Qing thought it was the same feeling as back then.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will be on your side." Xu Ruodao: "Zhong Qing, you remember, I am someone you can rely on. ”

Zhong Qing didn't understand why Xu Ruo suddenly said such a thing, but when she saw Xu Ruo's unconcealed feelings when she let go of herself, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart.

Maybe he won't......

No, it shouldn't be, they grew up together since childhood, and it's nothing more than a brother and sister, how can Xu Ruo like herself? Zhong Qing denied that speculation in her heart.

Xu Ruo may just be worried about himself, right? Zhong Qing thought so and nodded at Xu Ruo. She got out of the car, watched Xu Ruo drive away, and just wanted to turn around and walk into the building, but her arm was grabbed.

As early as after Zhong Qing got into Xu Ruo's car, Gu Xiu followed behind, he saw Zhong Qing and Xu Ruo sitting in the car chatting, the jealousy spreading in his heart seemed to devour his reason, he wanted to confess to Zhong Qing and tell her how much he liked him.

The relationship that he thought he could restrain for a lifetime collapsed so quickly, especially after seeing Xu Ruo and Zhong Qing hugging, Gu Xiu couldn't control himself anymore.

Zhong Qing turned around and looked at Gu Xiu in amazement, remembering what Xu Zhiyan had said, she shook off Gu Xiu's hand like an electric shock.

"Why did you leave?" Gu Xiu asked, "In the Japanese restaurant...... Why did you go? Is it because of Xu Ruo? ”

Zhong Qing didn't look over his head and didn't look directly into Gu Xiu's eyes: "It's nothing, I just can't eat it." ”

"So what do you want to eat? I'll take you to ......"

"Gu Xiu." Zhong Qing interrupted Gu Xiu's words and said, "We will ...... in the future Or don't meet. ”

Gu Xiu approached Zhong Qing, and the hand holding her arm never let go: "Did Xu Zhiyan tell you something?" ”

"Nope." Zhong Qing said: "I, my work is very busy, you also have your things to do, in order not to be misunderstood by others, let's see each other less in the future." ”

"Misunderstanding? Oh, misunderstanding ......"

Gu Xiu stepped forward and imprisoned Zhong Qing between the wall and his chest, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss Zhong Qing's mouth, but the latter turned his head, and Gu Xiu's lips brushed Zhong Qing's cheek.

"You misunderstood, is that true?"

Gu Xiu's voice was like poison, invading Zhong Qing's nerves, she forced herself to stay calm, she must not sink into Gu Xiu's world.

But now what lingered on the tip of Zhong Qing's nose was full of Gu Xiu's smell, she was stuck between Gu Xiu and the wall, and she could even clearly hear Gu Xiu's heartbeat.

It was like a drumbeat, constantly beating Zhong Qing's heart.

"Zhong Qing, I like you."

Gu Xiu hugged Zhong Qing and finally said this.

Zhong Qing pushed Gu Xiu away after hearing this, she swallowed her saliva, suppressed her beating heart, and said to Gu Xiu calmly: "Really? Unfortunately, I don't like you. ”

At this moment, Zhong Qing suddenly understood that when she lied, her heart would also hurt very much, especially after seeing Gu Xiu's injured expression, she couldn't wait to give herself a slap to wake herself up.

"Seriously?"

"Yes." After a lie started, it was necessary to use many lies to round it up, and Zhong Qing's mind suddenly remembered that everything Gu Xiu did was for himself.

It doesn't matter if you catch the private detective and get your hand stabbed, whether it's to relieve yourself at the engagement party, or to save yourself from falling into the water, or if you talk about trouble, you're always doing it for yourself......

He is so affectionate, how can he be affectionate?

Zhong Qing turned around, not daring to look at Gu Xiu again. The latter took two steps back and turned to leave.

Like that since he said it, there was no room for reversal, he originally thought that the relationship between friends could make the two get along longer, but Gu Xiu couldn't wait to say his inner words first.

It seems that what Xu Zhiyan said is true, Zhong Qing really doesn't like herself.

It turns out that the feeling of falling out of love is really sad.

Zhong Qing came out of the elevator, the hand holding the key was shaking all the time, and when she wanted to open the door, the key fell to the ground several times, Zhong Qing took a deep breath several times before aiming the key at the lock hole.

At the moment when the door was closed, Zhong Qing sat on the ground weakly, remembering Gu Xiu's unconcealable sadness just now, she closed her eyes in pain. The picture of Gu Xiu saying that he liked himself was repeatedly played in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became.

After all, she didn't agree to Xu Zhiyan's words, because she Zhong Qing found that she really liked Gu Xiu, the man who was so kind to herself that she wanted to push away.

His heart hurt like a knife, and Zhong Qing felt that he was ridiculous, because before Xu Zhiyan said those words, he didn't realize at all that his feelings for Gu Xiu had changed from an ordinary friend to a liking.

After all, he hated himself for not having the courage Zhong Qing's tears flowed down his fingers, but the person who liked Gu Xiu was Xu Zhiyan, not to mention the current self...... How could he say the sentence "I like you too" to Gu Xiu without any scruples?
