In addition to this, there are two photos, a tarot card.

A photo was taken on the basketball court of the High School, wearing a blue jersey and dribbling the ball. Perhaps because of the trembling hands of the person filming him, he was filmed in a blur.

There is also a group photo taken by everyone on Xu Youfei's birthday in May 2013. Qi Xia stood next to him, his eyes crooked and his smile bright.

This should be the only photo they have taken together.

Chen Xifan remembered everything and said, "The paper airplane should have been in the class meeting, and Lao Hu asked us to play games and fold them." Playing basketball, I remember that day, we seemed to play a shift. ”

"Yes." As if finding resonance, Qi Xia laughed: "The birthday photo was asked for by Fei Fei at that time, and I went out to get lost with the courier that day, and you sent me back." ”

Chen Xifan raised his hand and took the person into his arms, "I remember." ”

Love can be followed, although it is many years late, but this love, which began as a girl, he finally knows it completely.

The heart is like a drenched sponge, causing sluggish soreness.

Chen Xifan lowered his eyes, saw the tarot card in the box, thought about it, but didn't know where it came from.

"This tarot card—"

Qi Xia explained: "Didn't I go to Cambridge in 2015, and the day before I returned to China, I went to the mall with my classmates and saw a fortune shop on the second basement floor of the Liberty mall, which was given by a gypsy girl. ”

Gypsy girl is good at divination, the number 10 tarot card, the image is the wheel of fortune.

Later, Qi Xia searched on the Internet, and this card represented an unexpected development and an unpredictable future, so he didn't think much about it at the time, but brought it back as a souvenir.

Lin Xuezhen is a tarot lover and has some superstitions in this regard.

He picked it up and looked at it twice, and soon noticed that on the back of the card, there was an inconspicuous line of English lettering.

The font is so small that it is difficult to notice without looking closely, and the traces are old, which should have been written by the gypsy girl back then.

Chen Xifan lowered his head, and this time, he finally saw the line of English clearly.

The fate is not yet over， and the day ahead may come.

Fate is not over, and the future can be expected.

Chapter 66

In July, in the middle of summer, even the wind carries restlessness.

Every year, when the cicadas are singing at their warmest, it means that Qi Xia's birthday is approaching.

It's a birthday in college, and everyone doesn't have much money, so the four of us in the dormitory will go out to dinner together and order a four-inch cake. After graduation, I am busy with work, and the sense of birthday ceremony is weaker, which is dispensable.

Xu Youfei and Xing Anya discussed in the group how to celebrate Qi Xia's birthday.

Xu Youfei: [Let's have a party, how about a Hanfu party? ] Or swimsuit party? 】

Xing Anya: [Can you go to a suburban homestay for a few days to feel the great nature? 】

The two good sisters enthusiastically made suggestions, and Qi Xia typed: [I had an appointment that day. 】

Xu Youfei: [Understood, you want to live in a two-person world with my brother, right? 】

Xing Anya: [If you have a man, you don't want sisters? 】

Qi Xia explained: [Grandma Chen asked me to go to Baita Lane for dinner, and I made an appointment last month, I'm sorry. 】

Xing Anya: [Seeing your parents so soon? 】

Xu Youfei: [At this speed, you and my brother will probably be able to get a license for a wedding by the end of the year.] 】

Qi Xia was shy, [Not so fast. 】

Knowing that Qi Xia is popular, there must be many people on her birthday, Chen Xifan made an appointment with her early, and went to Baita Lane on her birthday.

Soon it was July 7th, which was Friday, and Chen Xi was on vacation, but Qi Xia had a job.

In the morning, she went to the East Sixth Ring Creative Park to interview the chief engineer of an artificial intelligence company.

This company focuses on intelligent medical care, which belongs to the blue ocean in China, and the previous interview reports are scarce and one-sided, Qi Xia has made full preparations, chatted a lot, and the interview time is more than an hour longer than expected.

After the interview, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon, and Qi Xia felt hungry after realizing it.

She walked around the park with her bag on her back, managed to find a light food restaurant, ordered a vanilla chicken breast salad and seaweed meat floss sandwich, and ate slowly while looking down at her phone.

Halfway through eating, someone called her in her ear: "Qi Xia, are you eating here too?" What a coincidence. ”

When I looked up, it was Li Mi.

Since the last time they signed the publishing contract for "Birds and Fish", the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Qi Xia frowned, "What a coincidence, do you want to eat together?" ”

"Yes." Li Mi took the food and sat down across from her, "It just so happens that I'll talk to you about publishing." ”

"Birds and Fish" has passed three reviews and three proofreadings, and after the finalization, the artist is currently invited to design the cover and illustration.

Li Mi said: "Our editor-in-chief and investors are very optimistic about this book, and even the marketing manager said that it will definitely sell well." ”

"Then take your good word."

Li Mi said: "You will write a manuscript in the future, remember to show it to me." ”

"Definitely."

chatted casually, and after eating, Li Mi sent Qi Xia to take a taxi at the gate of the park. On the way, you pass a small three-storey white building, designed in the style of the middle of the sea, and a tall triangular plum is planted outside the fence.

A black BMW was parked outside the small white building, and a woman in a blue cheongsam walked down.

Qi Xia was stunned, she seemed to have seen that woman.

Walking in silence, Li Mi took her arm and whispered, "Did you see the woman in the cheongsam?" The means are particularly high. ”

Qi Xia remembered, as if she went to visit Grandma Chen that day and saw this woman in Baita Lane, at that time, she was standing behind Chen Kuisong.

"Why do you say that?"

Li Mi whispered gossip: "Her name is Zheng Rong, and she opened a dance studio in the park, she is beautiful but has a good character...... Bad reviews. ”

I heard that Zheng Rong's family was very poor and couldn't even pay her tuition, so later the well-known dancer Lin Shuangyu went to perform in other places, and accidentally learned about it, so he sponsored her to go to school. Zheng Rong is still competitive, and was admitted to the Beijing Dance Academy, Lin Shuangyu not only subsidized her college tuition, but also took people to her home for dinner from time to time, and took her with her in performances, which was very good to her. ”

"The bloody one came, and then Zheng Rong and Lin Shuangyu's husband ...... Got together. ”

With a buzzing of his head, Qi Xia froze.

Li Mi continued: "Reality version of the favor will take revenge, right? There is even more annoying, I heard from a colleague that not long after the divorce, Lin Shuangyu committed suicide and died, maybe because of this incident, although Zheng Rong succeeded in ascending to the throne, she has no name, and the man's family does not agree......"

What Li Mi said later, Qi Xia didn't listen carefully. On the way back to the magazine, she felt as if she had lost her soul, and kept asking questions in her mind:

Why?

Do good people really get good rewards? Aunt Lin is really not worth it.

It turned out that when he was in his third year of high school, Chen Xifan was experiencing such a bad thing, no wonder he was unhappy at that time, no wonder he was afraid of heights, no wonder he was disgusted with the world, and he went abroad directly without being admitted to the air flight class.

Her heart felt like she was being choked by a hand, and the pain made her breathless.

Back at the magazine, Qi Xia didn't slow down. Gan Yao asked her what was wrong, and Qi Xia said it was okay.

She lay on her stomach for a while, then sorted out the contents of today's interview, and packed up her things and left work as soon as the time came.

At six o'clock, Chen Xifan was already waiting downstairs in the Yuange Building. Opening the car door, Qi Xia saw that there was a bouquet of retro dark red roses in the passenger seat.

Chen Xifan pinched her face, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't like this bouquet of flowers? ”

Qi Xia came back to his senses, "No, it's beautiful." ”

The bouquet of ninety-nine branches, a large bunch. Qi Xia picked it up and smelled it, there was a faint aroma.

Thinking of what Li Mi said during the day, Qi Xia wanted to do something, but she felt a sense of powerlessness. She didn't know how to speak, and she didn't know whether to mention those things or not.

Chen Xifan hugged her from behind and kissed her ear, "Get in the car and take you to see grandma." ”

"Okay."

The haze in my heart was quickly replaced by nervousness.

Although it was not the first time to go to Baita Lane, the first time I went as Chen Xifan's girlfriend, Qi Xia's palms were sweating.

During the rush hour after work, the road was a little congested, Chen Xifan looked at her and laughed: "What are you nervous about?" ”

"Do we count as parents?"

Chen Xifan groaned: "Count." ”

Qi Xia was even more nervous, and Chen Xifan comforted her: "Relax, grandma has always liked you." ”

When they arrived at Baita Lane, the car stopped, and Chen Xifan took out the gift from the trunk. Qi Xia was holding a bunch of sunflowers, and Chen Xifan was carrying a box of bird's nest into the door.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw that Grandma Chen was already waiting at the door, and when I saw her, I couldn't close my mouth happily and waved my hand: "Xia Xia-"

"Grandma, I've come to see you."

"Okay, okay." Grandma Chen held her hand," said Entering the house. ”

When she arrived at the living room, Grandma Chen pulled her to talk, and Aunt Wang was busy in the kitchen, wiped her hands and walked out, reported a string of dish names, and asked, "Do you need to add any more dishes?" ”

Grandma Chen said, "Ask Xia Xia." ”

Qi Xia hurriedly said, "Enough." ”

"Okay, you guys wait a while, we'll be able to eat soon."

Grandma Chen took Qi Xia's hand and asked her about her work, Qi Lanjing's current situation, and finally asked if Chen Xifan was good to her.

Chen Xifan, who had been working as a tool man next to him, was in charge of pouring tea and peeling oranges, and when he heard this, he raised his eyelids and looked at Qi Xia with a smile.

Qi Xia's face was hot, "Very good, grandma." ”

"That's good." Grandma Chen instructed, "If he bullies you, you can come back and tell me." ”

Because they were all acquaintances, the meal was relaxed and happy, and after eating, Chen Xifan went outside to answer a work call, and Grandma Chen pulled Qi Xia to play chess with her.

Qi Xia played Go, and Grandma Chen taught her while playing chess.

In summer, the days are long, and the garden is full of roses, and the sunset is sprinkled with a layer of light gold.

The chess room has floor-to-ceiling windows, and the garden looks out onto the floor-to-ceiling windows. At this time, Chen Xifan was talking on the phone outside, turning back from time to time and glancing at Qi Xia.

Qi Xia seemed to feel something, and every time he looked up, he could meet Chen Xi's smiling eyes.
