Chapter 44: Just Friends
The air around them suddenly fell into a suffocating silence.
The mobile phone that Meng Tangtang held in his hand suddenly vibrated at this time.
The things that should be said have been almost said, and the rest can only wait for Qin Yan to accept it herself, so she wants to take advantage of the pretense that news has come in, pretending to be calling back and leaving naturally.
Meng Tangtang planned so, and she really did it.
Just when she and Qin Yan passed by-
Qin Yan suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her.
He asked, "Later...... Still friends? β
In fact, the answer to this question is easy to answer, since you have decided to break off with him completely, then you naturally can't be friends in the future.
The word 'no' was obviously about to blurt out, but Meng Tangtang just couldn't say anything.
Facing such a pitiful Qin Yan......
Faced with such a question that borders on pleading......
Faced with such a face, such a ......
She's really ...... I really can't say that word.
Not only could she not say the word, but she even nodded at him in a daze.
Yes, she was 'ghosted', she was controlled by a mysterious power, and then she nodded involuntarily at him.
It wasn't until the sadness to despair on his face had subsided a little that the mysterious power gradually let go of her.
Meng Tangtang lowered her head and stopped looking at him, and then she had the strength to add: "What if...... You only think of me as a friend. β
Almost without hesitation, Qin Yan immediately agreed to her request and let her go.
Meng Tangtang fled the next second after she was free, and she seemed to leave this street corner, she was afraid that she would be controlled by that mysterious force again.
.
Qin Yan could only watch her leave helplessly, unable to do anything.
He couldn't help but feel that fate is really a very fair thing, she couldn't get rid of anything in the past, but now she can't stay in anything.
This is another test of fate for him, and it is another atonement for him.
So he had to accept it, and he had to accept it all with a smile, because all of this was his fault-
He shouldn't have found out his love until he lost it, and he shouldn't have learned to cherish it until he lost it.
.
It wasn't until he got into the taxi home that the feeling of oppression that lingered in Meng Tangtang's heart gradually dissipated.
Why is there such a breathless sense of oppression? Why can't you instinctively say no just by looking at him? Meng Tang Tang could not explain this unnatural state.
It was as if as soon as she met the two brothers, especially Qin Yan, she would have some feelings that she couldn't explain normally.
Is it because of Qin Zhao that she is abnormal?
After all, Qin Zhao is what she likes, and he gave her a 'surprise' today.
Is it really because Qin Yan and Qin Zhao have almost the same face?
β¦β¦
I really can't figure it out, so it's better to put it down for the time being.
Meng Tangtang took out his mobile phone and carefully looked at WeChat, which he hadn't come to look at in a hurry just now.
[Qin Zhao: Xuanxuan's mother is going to hold a one-year birthday party for Xuanxuan's sister next Saturday, and she is afraid that you will be polite to you in person, so she wants to tell you through me. γ
[Qin Zhao: The place where the birthday party was held was in another house of Xuanxuan's family, and the place was a little far away from your house, but I could take care of the pick-up. γ
[Qin Zhao: So, do you have time to go with me and Xiaoxiang next Saturday? γ
Would you like to go with them?
Of course she was.
But how should she reply to this WeChat?
In a joyful tone?
Or in a businesslike tone?
If there was no Qin Yan's appearance, Meng Tangtang would of course choose the former.
But being interrupted by Qin Yan like this, her previous impulse and enthusiasm have dissipated a lot, so she has now returned to normal Meng Tang Tang.
In a way, she should be grateful to Qin Yan for this 'interruption', after all, calling directly to ask the other party if she likes her Shenma really doesn't fit her current middle-aged girl's personality.
After just struggling for a while, Meng Tangtang finally chose to simply reply with two words.
.
After Qin Zhao got home, he turned on his mobile phone.
γMengtang Soup: Okayγ
There are only two words, and you don't even bring the emojis that you always use?
Qin Zhao frowned and looked at this WeChat, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that Qin Yan told her something?
The fire he had lit at night had already lit her, and it stands to reason that she shouldn't have treated him with such a businesslike attitude now.
There must have been an accident in the middle, and that change must be inseparable from Qin Yan.
Qin Zhao turned off WeChat, switched to the dialing page, and typed out a string of mobile phone numbers.
It took three calls in a row before the other party picked up his phone.
Qin Zhao softened his voice and said, "Are you busy?" Whispers. β
Qin Yan: "It's okay~ What's the matter?" β
Qin Yan's voice didn't sound very good, and Qin Zhao then asked, "Did Xiao Yan encounter something and be unhappy?" β
Qin Yan: "...... The afternoon game is all right now. β
Qin Zhao couldn't guess whether his brother was telling the truth, but since Qin Yan didn't want to continue the topic, he didn't want to force him.
Qin Zhao: "Then my brother doesn't ask, anyway, if you have something, remember to tell your brother first, okay?" β
"I see." Qin Yan paused, and then said, "If my brother has nothing else to do, I'll go to training." β
"Wait a minute~" Qin Zhao's body leaned forward nervously, "Actually, there is something." β
Qin Yan didn't respond, so Qin Zhao continued: "Next Saturday night, my brother has a friend's youngest daughter who is going to hold a birthday party, that friend may not you know, but that friend's eldest daughter you should know, her name is Xuanxuan." β
"Xuanxuan?" Qin Yan's voice suddenly changed from just now, "Is it the little girl named Xuanxuan who lived in your house before?" β
"Yes." Qin Zhao suppressed the displeasure in his heart, "It's that Xiaoxiang's good friend Xuanxuan, and at that time, there was also a teacher surnamed Meng from Xiaoxiang who lived with Xuanxuan, and she also went." β
Qin Yan didn't seem to realize that these words were a little illogical, in fact, Qin Zhao deliberately said something that seemed unrelated, and he wanted to see Qin Yan's reaction.
Qin Yan: "She...... Did you go too? β
Qin Yan's voice didn't sound like he was asking him, but like he was talking to himself.
Qin Zhao had already guessed a rough idea, but on the surface, he still maintained a normal explanation: "Xuanxuan's mother invited her to thank Teacher Meng, I just confirmed with Teacher Meng, she will attend." β
There was silence on Qin Yan's side for a while.
Qin Zhao said again: "Don't talk about others, is Xiao Yan free to go next Saturday?" It's been a long time since we've been to an event together, and Xiaoxiang misses you too. β
There was another long silence.
Then, Qin Zhao heard him say, "Then I'll go too." β
β¦β¦
He's going too?
He's going too?
This younger brother of mine rarely even attends the parties held at his own house, let alone held by outsiders.
But now that he just heard that she was going, he was going too?!
He really got entangled with that Meng Tangtang!
That she actually haunted him again!!
β¦β¦
'Smackββ! β
The phone was angrily thrown to the marble floor by the owner, and it was torn apart in an instant.
Qin Zhao looked at the wreckage in one place, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes that never showed people-
He will never allow history to repeat itself.
He will never allow them to be together!
