Chapter Thirty-Six: Dry Firewood

In the afternoon, the sun shines obliquely on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the 'Left Bank' cafΓ©.

The golden sunlight fell on the window position, and the two beautifully dressed young women seemed to shroud them in a halo, which set off the two extremely delicate, attracting the casual side glances of passers-by, but adding a touch of color to the pleasant afternoon.

"I'm so sorry to leave you home alone last night." Last night, because the wedding company suddenly called, saying that she wanted her to go in person, who Cheng wanted to delay too long, and when she came back, Qiao Xing had already left.

Qiao Xing smiled lightly: "I'm fine, no matter how you say your wedding, it's more important."

Qiao Fei felt very relieved that her sister was finally a lot more sensible and no longer as ignorant as before.

Ten years have finally transformed her from an ignorant girl to a mature and intellectual woman.

"Ah Xing, I'm so happy that you can come back to my wedding."

Qiao Xing stirred the coffee in front of him intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes fell on a certain place outside the window, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Look at what you said, you are my sister and we grew up together, how can I be absent from your wedding?"

Qiao Fei immediately raised a smile when he heard this, and said happily: "I was a little worried before, the time of the wedding will conflict with your schedule.

But now it seems that my sister still has a bit of weight in your heart.

I know that my good sister loves me the most, and besides, my wedding would not be a success without you. ”

Qiao Xing smiled: "Where do I have any itinerary, it's just idle."

It's your life event, how can it be changed for me. ”

Qiao Fei had always been afraid of the wedding date and collided with Qiao Xing's itinerary, so she made a special call before setting a date and asked Qiao Xing when he was most free.

Qiao Fei thought about Qiao Xing so much, but Qiao Xing was very upset.

"What are you talking about, it's just a day, it's the same every day......" Qiao Fei showed that he didn't care, as if the time of the wedding was not important at all.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How do you tell my sister that I was in a hurry to study abroad, and I thought I would come back after studying abroad, but I didn't expect that after so many years of traveling around the world, you just refused to go home, what is it for? ”

Qiao Fei's words turned a little anxious, Qiao Xing was slightly stunned when he heard it, and a trace of sorrow appeared in his heart.

Yes, what is the reason why a person can leave his homeland for ten years.

There were very few people who knew about the events back then, and Qiao Fei was naturally not among them, and now she didn't want anyone to mention that past incident, and she didn't want anyone to look at her unscabbed scars with pity.

"Where is it so exaggerated as you say, during this period, I have come back every year to sweep the graves of my parents, and you don't know this."

Qiao Xing said lightly, but the melancholy in his eyes deepened a little.

Qiao Fei scolded with a smile: "You are embarrassed to say that every time you come back, you are mysterious, and even my parents are not allowed to tell me, which makes me a little suspicious that you have broken some law and went to take refuge outside."

"It's not that you don't know me, it's just that I have always loved freedom and like to run around the world. Haven't you heard the saying: the soul has nowhere to rest, so choose to wander? ”

The faint smile on the corner of Qiao Xing's mouth gradually faded, and he chose to leave because there was no reason to stay. But now that people are back, I don't know if there is enough reason to convince them to stay.

Jiang Yifan's words last night are still in his ears, but there are still many uncertainties about the future, whether they can really overcome them one by one. After last night's incident, it can basically be confirmed that Jiang Yifan, like her, has the heart to get back together. But the past experience was too hard to let go, and she wasn't sure if she had the confidence to reconcile with him.

"Qiao Xing! Are you listening to me? ”

Qiao Fei interrupted Qiao Xing's thoughts, and Qiao Xing, who came back to his senses, stirred the coffee in the cup with a little embarrassment, and took another sip before saying with a smile: "Don't patronize me, talk about you, I didn't hear that you had a boyfriend a few days ago, why are you suddenly getting married?"

Qiao Fei bowed her head, but the smile on her face gradually solidified and finally froze on her face, "It's not a sudden idea, it's just that my parents are not too young to urge me, so I want to settle down." ”

Qiao Xing could see that Qiao Fei seemed to be very satisfied with this relationship, and the smile on her face did not stop when she talked about marriage.

But she only thought that she saw the smile in Qiao Fei's eyes, but she never noticed the loneliness and sadness in the smile.

"What does the future brother-in-law do? How did you meet? How do others treat you well? Qiao Xing's sudden series of questions made Qiao Fei a little confused, and he opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer, and finally answered concisely: "Very good, my parents like it very much."

She was right, her parents really liked it, and it didn't matter if she liked it or not.

"Just listen to how glorious and great you are talking about him here, why don't you bring people with you so that I can see them. You're getting married, and I, the younger sister, don't even know what my future brother-in-law looks like, is this in the past? ”

I don't know if it's Qiao Xing's own delusion, she always felt that after she finished saying that she wanted to see Qiao Fei's fiancΓ©, her face became a little solemn, and she was a little dodgy, as if she could escape something, as if she didn't really want the two of them to meet.

Then Qiao Xing felt that his thoughts were a little inexplicable, if Qiao Fei really didn't want her to see her, why did he call her back from afar.

"It's all a family, and there will be opportunities in the future. But you, do you have any plans to come back this time? Is it possible to wander all the time? ”

Qiao Fei hurriedly changed the subject, as if he was really running away from something. Qiao Xing smiled slightly, in fact, she didn't have a plan yet.

"By the way, I saw the ...... in France a few years ago"

Qiao Xing didn't want to answer Qiao Fei's question, so he simply pulled out another topic.

Qiao Fei didn't react too much after hearing this, just looked away gloomily.

"What to do with him, it's a disappointment."

Her language seemed plain, but she was vaguely choked.

"Have you really forgotten about him?" Qiao Xing asked, Qiao Fei took a deep breath, and his tone was very indifferent: "What's the point of forgetting it now, it's just adding sadness." A fruitless relationship, hurt me and hurt him, after all, it was wrong. ”

Qiao Fei and An Yibai, who were two years younger than herself, fell in love violently, and when they broke up, they were also extremely miserable, but it was a pity that Qiao Xing was abroad at the time, and she didn't even stay by Qiao Fei's side to comfort her, and it was a long time later when she knew that the two broke up.

Now it seems that no matter who was right and who was wrong back then, no one will be able to get out of it in the end. A love, after all, has no good beginning and finish.

"Let's go home for dinner together in the evening, my parents want you to go back." Qiao Fei suddenly mentioned.

Qiao Xing smiled and shook his head: "Another day, I made an appointment with Mo Jinyu tonight." The two of them gossiped for a while, and then went their separate ways. After returning home, Qiao Fei suddenly nested in the quilt and cried bitterly.

What time can't take away is pain, what is taken away is feelings, and what is left is longing. No matter how long it has been, some people are unspeakable wounds, and the slightest touch will make them bloody.

On the other side, Mo Jinyu received Qiao Xing and was about to go to the party place.

"I'm really sorry I couldn't pick you up yesterday, something happened halfway, I don't think you mind."

Mo Jinyu held the steering wheel and looked ahead, and his tone revealed the comfort that he had not seen for a long time, which made Qiao Xing a little in a trance, and in a trance, it seemed like he was back in the past.

Over the years, there have been all kinds of people around him, but he is the only one who has never left, just like at the beginning.

"Mind, very much, you'd better give me a reasonable reason......" Qiao Xing raised his chin and deliberately pretended to be very angry.

"How are you seeing people?"

Mo Jinyu hurriedly changed the topic, and as soon as Qiao Xing heard it, he immediately quieted down, "See." ”

"So, did you say anything to him?" Mo Jinyu asked.

Seeing Qiao Xing's face showing red tides, he didn't say anything for a while. He also probably guessed something, and glanced at Qiao Xing with great disdain.

"Don't tell me the kiss mark on your neck is his masterpiece, then I really have to admire him, it's really fast. By the way, I have to educate you, and I'm too unreserved, but I will take you down in just one day. ”

Qiao Xingwan smiled: "Please pay attention to your words, it's not a day, it's a night."

Mo Jinyu shook his head again and again and sighed: "Hey! Hunger and thirst, hunger and thirst! "Look at what you said, how ugly it sounds, it's obviously just dry firewood, okay?" Qiao Xing retorted.

Mo Jinyu felt that what she said made sense: "That's right, who can be as good as a jade for ten years." You and Jiang Yifan are both strange in the world, ten years, I don't know how you two can do it for ten years without thinking about it, if it were me, I might suffocate to death. ”

Qiao Xing smiled, but a layer of blush unconsciously rose on his face. In fact, who can really not think about it for ten years? It's not that she doesn't have a chance, but many times when she is about to come to the door, she always thinks of Jiang Yifan's slightly melancholy face, and thinks of his sad and sad appearance, so she is no longer interested.

She is like this, but she doesn't know how many women Jiang Yifan has had over the years.

This dry firewood that has been dried for so many years has met a fire that has been burning for so many years, and if it is not burned enthusiastically, I feel sorry for the time that has passed.

"Don't sour me, I know that you are a young master with peach blossoms, and you wander among the flowers all year round, of course you don't know that hungry men like us are hungry." Qiao Xing quipped.

Mo Jinyu sighed slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Only I know that I have a stomachache, and my peach blossoms are just a show......" Mo Jinyu's unfinished words were full of sadness, which made Qiao Xing feel distressed suddenly.
