Chapter 28 Half of the Heart
After this incident, the two of them finally restrained a lot, and naturally they didn't dare to be too blatant about stealing the forbidden fruit.
Later, Qiao Xing never understood how his relationship with Jiang Yifan back then could be secretly Chen Cang under the noses of adults, and he was so tired that he was so crooked, but he was never noticed, and even deceived the shrewd Qiao Fei.
Not to disclose the relationship between the two before graduating from college is a unanimous decision between her and Jiang Yifan. For Jiang Yifan, his only dream is that when he finally has the ability and position to bear this relationship, he will hold Qiao Xing's hand and stand in front of several adults openly, seeing their reassuring and relieved eyes.
It was far from time, and he could only hold on and wait for that day to come; And from Qiao Xing's standpoint, agreeing to this "underground relationship" not only takes into account Jiang Yifan's feelings, but also to eliminate the uncertainties from his parents and steal more sweet time before the relationship stabilizes.
However, the breath of young people's love is spreading through almost every pore of the body's hair and skin, how can it be so easy to hide the past? So sometimes they often feel empty-hearted, wondering if a few adults will have already seen through it, but they have other plans in their hearts, so they hide it, until a series of facts later prove that even though many acquaintances around them have tacitly acknowledged, but only the closest adults around them are really in the dark, I don't know if it's a joke.
Looking back now, perhaps they can't tell whether this was a blessing or a misfortune. Sometimes Qiao Xing feels confused, and even feels that the love affair with Jiang Yifan back then was just his own imagination.
In fact, if you really want to find out what is going on, it is not completely without reason, in the final analysis, it is just that during that time, Qiao's encountered a big case, Qiao Yunyuan and Qiao Sihai were busy dealing with it, and Jiang Lihua and Li Shaoling naturally couldn't be idle.
In addition, the two children are already older, and Jiang Yifan is an adult, so naturally he doesn't have to worry so much.
During that time, as long as the two of them had a little time, they would get tired of being together, and even in the presence of several elders, they couldn't help but frown. It's just that the two of them who were carried away by love naturally wouldn't find that their appearance was seen by Li Shaoling.
Li Shaoling, who has always been careful, connected the two with hindsight, but at that time she didn't know that the two had already secretly Chen Cang. She just felt that the two children were getting closer and closer, but she just wanted to give them a preventive shot in advance to prevent it from happening.
However, Li Shaoling knows that if she goes to Qiao Xing first at this time, there will definitely be no good results, the child is rebellious, and it is unknown with Qiao Xing's character that the mother and daughter will be discordant in the end.
So she went to Jiang Yifan first, Jiang Yifan is gentle, more sensible than Qiao Xing, and it may be much easier to start with him.
Jiang Yifan was still studying at night that day, and according to the usual times, he would go to Qiao Xing after the first class, but a phone call from Li Shaoling disrupted this habit.
On the way there, he actually probably guessed why Li Shaoling asked him out alone, presumably because he knew about him and Qiao Xing. In this way, the previous worries were put down, and along the way, he thought very clearly and firmly to be with Qiao Xing, no matter what Li Shaoling would say later, he couldn't give up easily.
But when he really listened to Li Shaoling's humiliation, his heart was a little shaken.
Li Shaoling has always spoken concisely and reasonably, and after a few words of greeting, she went straight to the point, "Xiaofan, I recently heard that you and Qiao Xing are very close, so the eldest aunt feels that there are some things that I have to tell you in advance." ”
He had already prepared himself before he came, so Jiang Yifan would not be so cramped, "Say it." ”
"The eldest aunt didn't mean anything else, she just wanted to give you a wake-up call in advance. Of course, I also know that there will only be brother and sister love between you and Qiao Xing.
But isn't there a contingency for everything? That's why I'm going to tell you about it in advance.
You should know that a family like our family Qiao Xing will not marry you in the future. Aunt will make it clear, what I mind most is not that you and Qiao Xing are brother and sister in name, let alone that you are still young now.
What I mind is your origin, a person can have many futures, but only the background cannot be changed in any way.
Therefore, Xiaofan, you have to put yourself in the right position, and you must not have the heart to go the wrong way. If you're starting to have that kind of thought now, I hope you break it off as soon as possible. I wouldn't agree now, not in the future. Do you understand? ”
Jiang Yifan only felt a chill arise spontaneously, and he squeezed his palm tightly, trying to relieve the shame on his face in this way.
He has always been very clear about his identity, he knows that he is just the adopted son of the Qiao family, and in the end, he still has the blood of the poor in his bones.
"Since the eldest aunt is so open and honest, then I will also be honest.
That's right, I do like Qiao Xing very much, and I will take your words to heart, but if I want to let go of Qiao Xing now, I don't think I can do it.
Besides, even if I want to give up, will Qiao Xing really listen to you? Presumably you know Qiao Xing's character best, if she wants to get something, she will definitely go to great lengths. ”
Later, Jiang Yifan also recalled whether he fought for this relationship at the beginning, maybe his harsh words about Li Shaoling at that time were the biggest fight he had made for himself.
didn't understand what it was like to live under the fence for a long time, in order to maintain the harmony that was expressed, he never dared to disobey his elders, and that was the only time he disobeyed Li Shaoling.
Li Shaoling was only suspecting that there might be a cat between Qiao Xing and Jiang Yifan before, but she didn't expect to be guessed by herself. However, she is a woman who has seen big scenes, no matter how angry she is, at least she is still calm on her face. After listening to Jiang Yifan's inner confession, she actually smiled coldly.
"Xiaofan, the eldest aunt has seen more of the world than you, and she knows more about her daughter than you, she is just fresh and curious about you now, and when she loses interest in you, the speed at which she retracts will catch you off guard."
Li Shaoling's words were like a thorn, piercing Jiang Yifan's heart fiercely, she was right, Qiao Xing was the person who was hot for three minutes. Just like once upon a time, she liked a model very much, and it took a lot of effort to get it.
When she first arrived, she had to sleep in her arms, but after a long time, her enthusiasm gradually cooled, and the model, like many of her previous toys, was finally left in a dark corner, left to be drowned in dust.
Jiang Yifan was actually very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he longed for Qiao Xing to be kind to him, and on the other hand, he was afraid that she would be too good to him, and she would run out of enthusiasm too quickly, and finally be discarded like those toys. He was afraid that his persistence was quenching his thirst.
When I returned to school, class had already ended, and my classmates rushed to the dormitory with their books in their arms.
Jiang Yifan saw Qiao Xing at a glance in the crowd, she stood in the place where she was waiting for him before, and at that moment, somewhere in his heart suddenly became soft.
There is still a long way to go, and there are still too many uncertainties. He wasn't sure if he could really hold her hand all the time, without any scruples.
As Li Shaoling said, one day she will get tired of it and then throw him away.
Qiao Xing ran towards Jiang Yifan from the crowd, and did not notice the subtle change in the expression on Jiang Yifan's face.
She smiled and asked, "I heard that you skipped a class, this is quite new, can you tell me the reason for skipping class?" He didn't answer her question directly, but took her hand.
You must know that the two had never held hands in public before in order to avoid suspicion, and his move really scared Qiao Xing. Although she was frightened, she didn't want to let go, but her whole body hung on his arm, and everything looked so natural and beautiful.
"Didn't you say you hadn't eaten that skewer in a long time? Do you still want to go now? Jiang Yifan lowered his eyes and smiled, as if Li Shaoling's words had been thrown out of the clouds.
"Now?" Qiao Xing was a little surprised, you must know that Jiang Yifan rarely takes the initiative. Jiang Yifan nodded knowing what she was worried about: "As long as you come back before the curfew, there should be no problem."
Qiao Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled, and asked in a frustrated voice, "Come on, did you do something wrong?" No wonder I skipped a class, did I go on a date with another little girl behind my back? ”
Jiang Yifan knocked her forehead expressionlessly: "You guessed it, I went on a date with someone else, it was a girl named Huang Gang. ”
There are some things that both of them actually know very well in their hearts, but they both hide in their hearts and refuse to say what they think in their hearts, for fear that one of them will accidentally hurt each other.
It's like a broken mirror, no matter how you mend it, the cracks are always there.
'Origin', I don't know when, became the last word the two of them wanted to mention, and finally became a taboo between the two.
Qiao Xing didn't mention that she didn't pay attention to these external things, in her opinion, love has never been high or low. She loves Jiang Yifan, even if he is a beggar, she will still love him.
Although Jiang Yifan didn't tell Qiao Xing about Li Shaoling looking for him, Qiao Xing still vaguely felt that Jiang Yifan had changed. During that time, he looked for her very frequently, and the two went to the hotel more and more often.
Although Qiao Xing likes this change, he can't say anything is wrong. He was obviously very tight with her, but there was an indescribable alienation, as if his closeness was all for separation.
Qiao Xing didn't dare to ask Jiang Yifan, they didn't know when it started, and suddenly there was a feeling of walking on a tightrope. The sweeter and more excited you are, the more afraid you are of falling.
