Early in the morning, the sky was still bright.

Cheng Jianghai rode a tricycle, pulling briquettes and a bunch of bits and pieces of tools to Bao Xiaoqi's house. didn't come forward to knock on the door, quietly threw off his arms and got busy. Hearing the noise outside, Bao Xiaoqi, whose face was still a little bruised, got dressed and walked out, looking at Cheng Jianghai's busy figure suspiciously.

"Jiang Hai, what are you doing here?"

In the morning light, Cheng Jianghai's forehead emitted a trace of steam, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and showed a simple smile: "Uh, I got you some coal, I see that your stove seems to have not been used for a long time, and it is about to collapse, I want to give you a mush." ”

Bao Xiaoqi frowned and said softly: "Don't be so troublesome, I haven't used it much, I'll just go to the street to buy some for dinner." ”

Cheng Jianghai shook his head and said in a resolute tone: "That's not possible, no matter how you say it's a home, you have to have a little fireworks." ”

Seeing Cheng Jianghai bowing his head and busy, Bao Xiaoqi let out a sigh in his heart, and said cowardly: "Jianghai, why are you bothering? ”

Cheng Jianghai paused, didn't dare to look up at those miserable eyes, and said hesitantly: "It's okay, I'm ...... I'd love to. ”

Bao Xiaoqi shook her head gently, didn't persuade anything, went straight back to the house, and poured Cheng Jianghai a glass of boiled water. There is no tea at home, and I can't entertain people. Bao Xiaoqi thought about it melancholy, got some brown sugar from the cabinet and added it, and then brought it to Cheng Jianghai.

"You...... Drink some water! ”

Although the last layer of window paper has been pierced, there is still a faint painful distance between each other, and this subtle distance may come more from Bao Xiaoqi, who does not dare to stand up again.

"Oh, I'm not thirsty...... Uh, well! ”

Looking at the water cup handed over, Cheng Jianghai opened his mouth to refuse, but Bao Xiaoqi did not mean to retract his hand, and looked at himself with stubborn eyes.

Cheng Jianghai hurriedly took it, took a sip suddenly, and then opened his eyes wide and looked at Bao Xiaoqi in surprise.

"Is it sweet?" Bao Xiaoqi asked leisurely.

Cheng Jianghai hurriedly nodded frequently, and responded: "Well, sweet, very sweet!" ”

Bao Xiaoqi couldn't help blushing, bit her red lip, and said in a low voice: "Don't do it yet, let's talk, okay?" ”

Seeing Bao Xiaoqi turn around with a lot of concern, Cheng Jianghai's heart tightened, and he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and followed into the house. Bao Xiaoqi sat quietly on the shabby sofa, with a deep sadness and desolation on her pretty cheeks.

Cheng Jianghai looked at her apprehensively and said, "Xiaoqi, you ......"

To be honest, Cheng Jianghai's outspoken style made Bao Xiaoqi a little flustered, and the other party's oath was still in her ears, and she didn't know how far she could go.

is already a "remnant flower and willow", and now he is still under the control of Zhu Sanxun. According to Zhu Sanxun's temperament, it is impossible to let go of Cheng Jianghai, and he can't hide by himself, so do you still want to involve Cheng Jianghai?

If Cheng Jianghai really wants to be with him, then instead of procrastinating in concealment, it is better to speak openly and honestly, tell his past and discernment, and do not hide anything, so as not to regret it in the future.

Bao Xiaoqi hesitated for a long time, then raised her head, bit her red lip, looked at each other with burning eyes, and said softly: "Jiang Hai, are you serious?" ”

Cheng Jianghai's face changed suddenly, and his heart was anxious: "You...... Don't you believe me? ”

"You know everything about me, I'm not the same person I used to be."

Bao Xiaoqi seemed to speak softly, with a little bit of light wind that saw through the world, but the thick misery between her eyebrows couldn't be suppressed: "I'm not qualified to accept any feelings, I'm not clean!" In the eyes of others, I am a watery poplar and a bad woman with bad morals, like a pile of filthy garbage, and no one botheres to take care of it. If you are with me, you will be looked down upon by the people around you, and you will be poked in the back. Have you thought about it? Those spitting cores will drown you, I'...... I don't want to hurt you. ”

Bao Xiaoqi lowered her head sadly, tears had already slipped down and gently dripped on the back of her hand. The once bright and arrogant face is now only weak and imitating, like a rabbit with nowhere to hide.

Cheng Jianghai got a little closer in a panic, squatted down, and said earnestly: "Xiaoqi, don't you say that, okay?" I don't care what other people think, I just care about how you feel. ”

"Xiaoqi, believe me, I'm not pitying you, and I'm not paying the debt for the sins I committed. Because I know in my heart that I have never forgotten you. The past is gone, and I hope to heal the wounds in your heart. ”

Bao Xiaoqi raised her head, looked at Cheng Jianghai with tears in her eyes, and shook her head lightly: "Jianghai, I can't believe what you said, because I'm afraid!" I'm afraid this is a dream that shouldn't be had, and people like me shouldn't have hope. ”

Cheng Jianghai stretched out his hand tremblingly, gently holding Bao Xiaoqi's thin arm, his eyes revealing a deep pity: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoqi, this is not a dream." I am Cheng Jianghai, or the Cheng Jianghai who wants to pester you every day and protect you every day! ”

A whispering call, like a warm stream, soothed the scarred heart, Bao Xiaoqi asked sadly: "Jiang Hai, ...... Can we really do it all over again? ”

Cheng Jianghai nodded firmly, with great confidence: "Yes, it will definitely be possible." Xiaoqi, believe me, okay? Don't give up on yourself, don't lose faith, we can start all over again! ”

"Wow......" sound.

Bao Xiaoqi, who was in a stirring heart, couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore, and suddenly threw herself into Jiang Hai's arms, burst into tears, and roared hysterically: "Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai, Jiang Hai, why did you only appear now!" Why, why are you so cruel to me, why...... I hate you, I hate you! Woowoo woo ......"

Cheng Jianghai's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and his trembling hands hugged the equally trembling body tightly, and choked up: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Xiaoqi blames me, blames me, I came too late, I'm sorry......"

Weeping bitterly, weeping silently, turning all sorrow into gurgling bitter water, draining it, and then forgetting it.

From then on, there will be no more hatred, no more resentment, and each other will reconnect the fragments of the atrium with each other, beating for a new life.

After a long time, the two of them who were in tears gently separated from their arms, and Bao Xiaoqi, who was wearing pear blossoms and rain, shyly wiped away the tears and asked seriously: "Jiang Hai, are you ...... Don't you really regret it? ”

Cheng Jianghai smiled lightly, like the spring sunshine into people's hearts: "I have done too many things I regret in this life, so I don't want to let myself regret it anymore." You know me, don't push me away, don't be scared anymore, okay? ”

Bao Xiaoqi stared at Cheng Jianghai affectionately, and her words were full of firmness: "Jianghai, I won't push you away anymore, with you, I'm not afraid of anything!" ”

Once again, rubbing his fiery body into his arms, Cheng Jianghai said earnestly: "Thank you Xiaoqi, let's work together and learn not to be afraid anymore, okay?" ”

"Hmmm! We work together and learn not to be afraid. ”

Yes, learn to stop being afraid, learn to say goodbye to fear, and learn to face the wind and rain.

Although the world is full of ugliness, there is still beauty. No matter how many winds and swords, even if there are eternal twists and turns, we must look at each other and smile, walk bravely hand in hand, stride forward, and strive for our own happiness and future......

On this day, Bao Xiaoqi came to the barber shop alone, sat on a chair, and looked at her long flowery but silky hair in the mirror, as if she had made up her mind. The barber on the side took the scissors and asked hesitantly, "Girl, are you sure you want to cut them off?" It's a shame to have long hair like yours cut. ”

On the cheeks of the person in front of the mirror, the miserable scars no longer existed, and the bruises had faded. In the barber's inquiry, Bao Xiaoqi nodded lightly and muttered: "Master, cut it, I want to go back to the past, start all over again!" ”

"Okay, then I'll cut it!"

Under the light swing of the scissors, strands of colorful hair quietly fell to the ground, the tips of the curly hair were straightened again, the dust of the old days was peeled off one by one, and the embarrassment of the past was gone. The shoulder-length soft short hair poured like ink, the pure and beautiful appearance was made of jade, and the beauty of the non-powdered delicacy carried the brightness and natural beauty, like the new sprouts of dead wood in spring, that was a wish to say goodbye to yesterday, and it was a beautiful rebirth from the fire. Unconsciously, tears quietly slipped from the corners of Bao Xiaoqi's eyes.

"Girl, what are you ......?" the barber paused.

Bao Xiaoqi gently wiped away the tears, and a bright smile hung on the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, master, go on......"

"Oh, well......"

There is a return for pay, and true feelings can only be bred by true feelings.
