Chapter Seventy-Seven: Unprepared Empathy and Farewell
After going back that day, Gu Yuze took strict care of her, even if she went out to buy vegetables, he would accompany her, not only that, but he also frowned deeply, looking preoccupied, and he wanted to stop talking when he looked at himself, which made Su Xiaoqi very puzzled.
Wasn't it just an accident? What's going on?
"Brother~ Are you hiding something from me?" Su Xiaoqi finally couldn't hold it back and interrogated.
Gu Yuze stared at her for a while, his eyes were complicated and tangled, but in the end, he just smiled, patted her shoulder and said, "No, brother can hide anything from you." ”
He's lying! Su Xiaoqi looked at him seriously, and finally just snorted dissatisfiedly and ignored him.
If he really wanted to hide it from her, she wouldn't know anyway. And, she was sure, everything he did was for his own good.
Gu Yuze looked at Xiao Qi who was angry on the side, sighed in his heart, and said in his heart, what should I do, do I want to take the initiative to confess, but what I tell her now, will it bring her a psychological burden, and will it affect his status in her heart.
That day, Xiao Yi suddenly called and asked him to go to Xiaoqi immediately, and he asked Li Shishi to go. After that, Xiao Yi passed him some pictures. In those pictures, there are those who can't help but kiss Su Xiaoqi, and there are also ambiguous hugging photos created by being deliberately blackened and borrowed from misplaced techniques. All in all, all kinds are not good for Su Xiaoqi.
The most important thing is that various life photos of him and Shu Li together have also been secretly taken. If it is tacitly accepted that Shu Li is Su Xiaoqi, then this series of ambiguous photos will undoubtedly confirm the crime of "brother and sister love", and if rumors are spread on campus, it will undoubtedly cause harm to Su Xiaoqi.
He didn't allow it, and Xiao Yi wouldn't let this happen.
But if she confesses that they are two people, then how can she explain to Su Xiaoqi that Shu Li is too similar to her.
Putting a person who is like another self by his side, anyone will doubt his purpose, Gu Yuze said in his heart, Xiaoqi, I don't want you to know what I used to think about you, it will bring you a burden. On the contrary, it is best to watch over you as an elder brother like now.
After Gu Yuze thought about it for a while, he finally suppressed the idea of confession.
In a blink of an eye, it was the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar, and according to the previous way of celebrating the New Year, Su Xiaoqi and his parents went back to their hometown in the countryside together to celebrate the New Year with their grandparents.
The city's rows of buildings and congested traffic lines represent prosperity and superiority, but also constraints and hardships. The older generation is not accustomed to this fast-paced life, for them, the natural scenery of the countryside and the simple folk customs are the way to live in their old age.
But for Su Xiaoqi, it is a sweet and sad thing, the reason why I say this is because the family got together happily and fully experienced the warmth and care of home. But the sad thing is that the undeveloped economy and transportation are relatively backward, which has also caused a closed environment, for the self-cultivation master, they may be able to endure loneliness and be pure, and for Su Xiaoqi, a micro-house creature, this is almost a kind of torture-style torment and torture.
"Granddaughter, it's so cold outside, you're wearing such thin clothes, why are you standing here stupidly blowing the wind?" Grandma Su has a pair of reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, her eyes are slightly narrowed, and her slightly chubby and slightly graceful and luxurious face gives people an amiable and cute feeling.
"Grandma, I'm not cold, go back to the house." Su Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, a picture of "snow in the evening".
"Don't catch a cold, come in with me." Grandma Su didn't listen to her, so she took her hand and walked into the house without saying anything.
Su Xiaoqi had a helpless and resentful expression, mainly because the network here is so bad that even a Weibo signal can collapse, which makes her really annoyed.
After eating hot dumplings at noon, she finally soothed her wounded heart, and after helping her grandmother wash the dishes, she leaned on the sofa and casually brushed the circle of friends, and suddenly remembered that she seemed to have never paid attention to Xiao Yi's dynamics, and couldn't help but click on it.
There is only a picture of what looks like an engagement scene sent two days ago, with three ellipses attached, and there is no explanation beyond that. Su Xiaoqi thought to himself for a while, and said in his heart, could it be that he participated in a friend's wedding, what do you think.
Although the two have kept in touch, there have only been a handful of phone calls in recent days, and sometimes they only hang up after a few perfunctory words. Thinking of this, Su Xiaoqi couldn't help but dial the other party's phone.
After three rings, the phone was connected, but the person who answered the phone was ......
"Hey~ Xiaoqi?"
"You...... Is it Chen Mo? Su Xiaoqi chuckled in his heart, and for a moment, he had mixed feelings and was indescribably depressed.
"Yes, I forgot about me after not seeing you for a long time, but ......" Chen Mo smiled and said, "I think you won't forget it in the future." ”
Su Xiaoqi was puzzled, but still went straight to the point and said, "What about Xiao Yi, why is his mobile phone with you?" ”
"He's talking to someone about the engagement scene, and he's busy."
"He's back home!?" Su Xiaoqi was surprised, why he never talked about it.
"yes, don't you know?"
Su Xiaoqi hummed sullenly, and then said, "That...... You guys...... Going to a friend's wedding together? There was a sour smell in her words.
Chen Mo wanted this sentence, and suddenly smiled, "No~ It's my engagement to him." ”
In an instant, Su Xiaoqi seemed to have been drained of her soul, she froze in place, with an incredible expression on her face, she smiled reluctantly, and said with trembling lips, "Chen Mo, this joke is not funny at all. ”
"That's because it's not a joke, it's a fact." Chen Mo seemed to be disapproving, and said in a pleasant tone, "Xiaoqi, because the incident happened suddenly, I forgot to invite you to my engagement, you won't blame me~ If you have time......"
Su Xiaoqi hung up the phone. She really couldn't figure out what was going on, even if Chen Mo said so, it was still hard for her to believe all this.
How could Xiao Yi suddenly empathize and get engaged in such a hurry, there must be something else hidden in this.
In the evening, Su Xiaoqi calmed down a lot, she hesitated again and again but dialed Xiao Yi's phone again, when she mentioned this, Xiao Yi's secretive tone made her feel very uneasy, what happened, could it be that what Chen Mo said was true?
"Xiaoqi, don't think about it, Chen Mo is joking with you." Xiao Yi rubbed his eyebrows, full of pain and struggle.
Xiao Yi...... I'm a little tired, so be it. Su Xiaoqi's tone was light, and he couldn't hear joy or anger, but the more he was like this, the more Xiao Yi was worried and blamed.
"Qiqi, believe me...... Trust me to never betray you, okay. A hint of struggle appeared on Xiao Yi's face, he opened his mouth and swallowed the words he wanted to explain.
Su Xiaoqi hummed and hung up the phone.
Sleepless nights. The next morning, she was reprimanded by her parents, and in the evening, she was still depressed, Grandma Su felt sorry for her granddaughter, so she asked a few words, but Su Xiaoqi actually whimpered and cried.
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the sky was just dawning, Su Xiaoqi got up, she decided, she wanted to go back to the city to find Xiao Yi, and ask clearly in person, instead of being so self-tormenting, it was better to come to the knife happily.
After a bumpy ride all the way, she finally sneaked back to Z City, but when she saw Chen Mo and Xiao Yi talking and laughing, and appeared in a high-end restaurant hand in arm, she finally understood.
It's over......
