The two of them found another coffee shop nearby and sat down. [No pop-ups. 】

The soothing and low-pitched soft music and the spacious seats in the corner are perfect for casual conversations.

In front of her was a cup of hot mocha with a mellow aroma, a few wisps of light smoke rising, and her hands rubbed the remaining hot cup repeatedly, but she didn't drink it.

However, Xie Xiaoyue, who was sitting opposite, tasted a little bit of her own, and then frowned, with a look of disgust, "It's really unpleasant." ”

Ling Xiquan pursed his lips and stared at the patterned cup without making a sound.

Xie Xiaoyue put down the cup, "Believe it or not, Xiaoxi, I didn't want to hurt you." ”

"Does it still make sense to say that now?" She raised her eyes and glanced at Xie Xiaoyue, and said calmly, "Whatever you want to say to me, just say it." ”

Xie Xiaoyue looked at her deeply, lowered her head, rummaged through her bag for something, and then put a camera on the table.

The purple one, very small, is the one I saw last night.

She was stunned, but saw the girl's mouth slightly raised, "Last night, did you move?" ”

A very inexplicable sentence, Ling Xiquan's heart was like a mirror, he pursed his lips and didn't answer, Xie Xiaoyue didn't seem to want to hear anything from her mouth, and said to herself, "I was very strange last night, my camera is obviously well protected, why is the paint on this side scratched...... You touched my camera yesterday, right? ”

Xie Xiaoyue's tone was very affirmative, and she didn't think that there was anything worth hiding and lying about at the moment, so she simply looked at her straight, "Yes, I looked for you after I went home yesterday, you were not at home, but your luggage was left at the door, and I accidentally kicked it." ”

"It turns out that the brook can also lie." Xie Xiaoyue propped up her chin meaningfully, and didn't ask her if she had turned on the camera, but blinked, "I thought you really came back this morning." ”

She didn't speak.

Xie Xiaoyue shrugged, "Then I think, you should have opened it without my consent." ”

Such an indifferent attitude made her frown slightly, and subconsciously defended herself, "I just want to check if it is broken." After speaking, he felt that such an explanation was unnecessary, and it was an indisputable fact that he had read it, so he paused again and said, "Yes, I have seen it." ”

"And what do you see?"

"What do you think?" She asked rhetorically.

Xie Xiaoyue let out a long "oh" and said paradoxically, "No wonder you asked me that." ”

She frowned and said, "Xiaoyue, what exactly do you want to say?" ”

"You know, I've always envied you?" Xie Xiaoyue suddenly said, "During the summer vacation, Zixin and I hid from you that you applied for an exchange student at NUS, have you ever wondered why? ”

Why did you get to this again?

She was silent for a moment, "You say I can't live in the illusion of memories all my life, and I need to come back and face the past. Speaking of which, she emphasized, "Although I have said many times, there are some things that cannot be solved by returning to China. ”

"Aren't you getting what you want now?" Xie Xiaoyue smiled slightly, "Speaking of which, when Ye Qingting asked me to trick you back, I hesitated for a long time, and I didn't know whether I should do it or not." ”

"What did you say?" Ling Xiquan suspected that he had misheard.

Xie Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, carefully examined her expression, couldn't believe it didn't seem to be a fake, and laughed out loud, "Ah, it turns out that Ye Qingting still hasn't told you anything." ”

Ling Xiquan looked helpless, "Xiaoyue ......"

"Okay." Xie Xiaoyue blinked, "Why do you think I suddenly instigated Zixin to help you make this decision?" At that time, when Ye Qingting knew that our school had a NUS exchange student quota this year, please I must persuade you to apply for this place. ”

This is unheard of.

She opened her mouth in surprise, thought for a moment, and asked puzzledly, "How did he know that our school has a NUS exchange student quota this year?" ”

"If you want to know, you'll be able to know." Xie Xiaoyue glanced at her deeply, "This is what I envy you, there is a person who has been silently watching you across the ocean, but you always think how unfortunate you are." ”

"He, silently paying attention to me?" Ling Xiquan repeated her words, frowning, "How is it possible, we haven't been in touch for several years. ”

"You're going to have to ask him." Xie Xiaoyue hooked the corners of her mouth, "Probably you like each other but don't know it, that's why you've been going around for so many years." After speaking, she added, "I admire you a lot, you only like that one person for so many years." ”

Ling Xiquan couldn't calm down, so he automatically ignored what she said, and only looked at his own train of thought and asked, "But how did he find you?" How does he know we know? ”

"These things, it seems that Ye Qingting should be explained." Xie Xiaoyue shrugged helplessly, "However, if you want to know, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you." She paused, "The year you first came to the United States, on Halloween, I put a picture of the three of us pretending to be ghosts on Facebook. ”

"And then?"

"Then Ye Qingting called me within a few minutes and asked me if the girl standing on my left was called Ling Xiquan."

"That'...... How do you answer? ”

"Of course I said yes." Xie Xiaoyue couldn't help but roll her eyes, "However, it scared me at the time." You don't know, although Ye Qingting and I have known each other since childhood, we don't communicate much, and I have a good relationship with him...... may not even be half as good as him and Ke Yuechen. ”

Finding that the girl sitting opposite frowned again, she pondered what she had said, and asked strangely, "Ke Yuechen, you should know each other, right?" I don't know ...... Ye Qingting should have mentioned it to you, right? ”

"I've met her when I was in junior high school, but," Ling Xiquan hesitated, "I don't think they have a good relationship. ”

"It's normal, your boyfriend, it seems that he has been different from other children since he was a child, just like he and my brother are good brothers who grew up together, but I don't see how much he cares about my brother." Xie Xiaoyue said disappreciatively, "Maybe it has something to do with the tutor he received, he is not the same as us, he is always moody." ”

For this, Ling Xiquan agreed in his heart, but he shook his head on his face, "He still cares about your brother very much." ”

"That's why I said he was angry." The smile on Xie Xiaoyue's face suddenly became a little confusing, making it impossible to distinguish her true emotions at the moment, "Perhaps, it's because he's different that you can come together after being separated for so long." ”
