After flying tens of thousands of kilometers in the sky, he was really sleepy, and after lying down, he smelled the faint fragrance of the futon, and stretched out his hand to her: "Don't come yet?" ”

Qi Xia kicked off his slippers and obediently lay down beside him.

Chen Xifan took advantage of the situation and pulled her arm so that her back was close to him.

"Have you changed into a four-piece suit?"

"Well, is this set good?"

"Look." Chen Xifan tilted his head and kissed her earlobe, and stopped talking.

The room was silent, except for the sound of each other's breathing.

It was only a moment later that Qi Xia felt that something was not quite right with the person behind him.

She did not dare to move, noticing the other party's gradually rising body temperature, and suggested: "You go to sleep first, and I will go...... I went to watch TV. ”

"Stay with me."

Qi Xia turned his head to look at him, scratching his hair, not knowing how to answer, and looked away in embarrassment.

She thought of Chen Xifan's uncontrollable appearance on the night of her birthday, and it was clear that such a gentlemanly and alienated person had become dangerous and destructive because of her.

Qi Xia stretched out his hand and touched his long eyelashes.

Chen Xifan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Sleep." ”

Qi Xia pointed to something, "You are like this...... I can't sleep. ”

"It's okay, close your eyes."

Sitting still?

The more calm he was, the more Qi Xia wanted to tease him, so he leaned over and kissed his Adam's apple, "Is it really okay?" ”

Chen Xifan's breathing tightened, grabbed her wrist, and his tone was no longer restrained: "Can't sleep?" Then do something else. ”

She still underestimated the pilot's physical strength, and in the next moment, Qi Xia felt that the world was spinning, and when she reacted, the person had been pressed under Chen Xifan.

Qi Xia raised his head and met Chen Xifan's deep eyes head-on. His gaze was naked, revealing danger.

His heartbeat accelerated in an instant, and Qi Xia was shocked, "You...... Aren't you tired when you come back from an international flight? ”

Chen Xifan's hot breath fell on her ear, "Tired, but it's more than enough to clean you up." ”

The memories of that night came back, as if falling into boiling water, and the whole person burned.

Qi Xia was covered in sweat, his head was buried in the crook of his arm, and he couldn't say a complete sentence except gasping for breath. It took a long time to calm down before a pair of eyes were revealed.

Chen Xifan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her with lowered eyes, laughed silently, his eyes darkened, and he was picked up with someone, as if he was still unsatisfied, and asked her, "Can you sleep this time?" ”

Qi Xia collapsed, and the buzz urged: "You go and rinse your mouth." ”

Chapter 70

When I woke up the next day, the sky was still gray, the clock stopped at six o'clock, the summer days were long, the whole city was waking up, and downstairs in the community, there was a faint sound of talking.

After Chen Xifan got up, for fear of waking Qi Xia, he gently imprinted a kiss on her forehead, then changed into sportswear and went downstairs for a run. An hour later, I bought breakfast and went home.

The sound of water in the bathroom was dripping, and when she heard the sound of water, she struggled to open her eyes, and saw Chen Xifan pushing the door into the house, and said to her, "Morning—"

Chen Xifan had just finished washing, the tips of his hair were dripping with water, he raised his chin slightly, and was wiping his hair with the towel hanging around his neck.

Obviously, last night was a night together, but at this moment, one is alive and the other is depressed.

Qi Xia couldn't figure it out, rubbed his eyes and sat up, "It's early in the morning, why did you go?" ”

"Run, by the way, buy breakfast."

Qi Xia trembled, she finally knew why Chen Xifan's physical strength was so good.

Last night, she thought it was over and was about to go to the bathroom to rinse up, but unexpectedly, she was dragged back by Chen Xifan's ankle.

Now that she has just woken up, she has already finished her morning exercise, and the gap in physical strength is too great, and it is not a level at all.

Qi Xia scratched his hair, "Aren't you sleepy when you get up so early to exercise?" ”

"Get used to it." Chen Xifan dried his hair, leaned over and kissed her face with both hands, "Get up and have breakfast." ”

"Okay."

Today is a working day, Chen Xifan has finished his international long-distance vacation, but Qi Xia is at work normally.

Breakfast is millet porridge, eggs and xiaolongbao, the two face each other, Qi Xia slowly drank porridge, picked up the mobile phone to look, and found that the landlady had sent her a message last night.

[Xiao Xia, tell you something, my son is about to get married, and the house will have to be taken back next month, so you should find a house as soon as possible. 】

In this house in Banchunli, Qi Xia has lived in it for more than three years, and the contract is signed once a year, and the contract should be re-signed next month.

The news came suddenly, Qi Xia frowned and sighed softly.

Chen Xifan peeled a boiled egg for her, and said softly: "What's wrong?" ”

"I'll have to find a house again." Qi Xia drank the millet porridge in one go, "The landlady wants to take back this house, hey, it's so troublesome to move." ”

Chen Xifan was silent and squeezed her hand, "Why don't you ...... Let's live together, right? ”

“……”

The air was still.

Qi Xia took a moment to eat, and subconsciously said "ah".

Chen Xifan: "You don't want to? ”

"Nope."

To be honest, Qi Xia also thinks that the current one-bedroom house is a bit small, and it was nothing to live alone before, but now Chen Xifan often comes over, he is tall, and when he stands in the house, Qi Xia is worried that he will not be able to open his legs, plus the cake loves to make trouble, running all over the house, Qi Yuan comes over to eat from time to time......

Moreover, every time Chen Xifan got off work, he drove from the airport to the city to find her, which was really troublesome.

Just like now, I am happy to wake up early every day to see the people I like and have breakfast with the people I like.

Qi Xia asked, "Where do you live?" We're working at a distance from each other. ”

Chen Xifan propped his chin and smiled, "I live near the magazine office, so it's convenient for you to commute to work." ”

"But you're inconvenient."

"I drive, there's nothing inconvenient, and the airline also has employees who live in the city, so I just wake up early every day."

Qi Xia shook his head, "Don't do it, find a compromise position, otherwise you will be too far away." ”

"After that, you can also drive to work, which is more convenient."

Qi Xia agreed, "Okay." ”

Non-Beijing colleagues in the magazine bought houses in the Fifth and Sixth Ring Roads, and drove to work for about 30 minutes every day, Qi Xia thought about it, and he could accept it.

When two people are together, the most important thing is to be considerate of each other, and she doesn't want Chen Xifan to accommodate her in everything.

The matter of cohabitation was thus decided, and after sending Qi Xia to work, Chen Xifan seized the time to see the house in the appropriate area.

There is a lot of work today, Qi Xia is out in the morning and afternoon, going back to the magazine at four o'clock to sort out the content of the interview, and by the way, exchanging commuting experience with several colleagues who live in the fifth and sixth ring roads.

She remembered the agreement with Zhao Xiangqiong, five o'clock, go downstairs to the café.

As soon as she entered the café, Qi Xia bumped into a short-haired woman, she apologized in a low voice, and the other party grabbed her wrist and trembled: "Xia Xia—"

Familiar sounds.

Qi Xia raised his head, and after nine years, he saw Zhao Xiangqiong again.

I haven't seen him for too long, and Qi Xia didn't dare to recognize it for a while. She remembers the last time she met Zhao Xiangqiong at the cultural center, wearing a famous brand and walking in high heels, but now, her face was full of haggardness, and she even cut off her long hair, which she was once proud of.

After sitting down, Qi Xia ordered two cups of latte and asked straight to the point: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"I ......" Zhao Xiangqiong became more and more cramped, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I got in touch with Qi Lanjing two months ago, and after asking her, I learned that you are also in Beijing, so I want to meet you and see if you are doing well." ”

"I'm fine." Qi Xia replied succinctly, and then fell silent, not knowing what to say.

The scene was deadlocked.

Zhao Xiangqiong spoke again, looking at her with tears in her eyes, "I know that when I left you and Ah Yuan to remarry, you must have complained about me, but I was pregnant at that time, ......."

"I know." Qi Xia didn't have much patience, "It's all over." ”

"Then do you still blame Mom?" Zhao Xiangqiong recounted what happened to her in the past few years: "Your stepfather took bribes and went in a few years ago, but now I am alone with my children, and my life is uneventful. ”

Zhao Xiangqiong's second-married husband is a leader of a certain unit directly under the municipal government, and a few years ago he committed an accident, and most of the family's property was confiscated, and now she and her son are still restricted from spending too much.

Qi Xia listened quietly, his expression unwavering.

She took a sip of a latte, took a bag from her bag, and handed it over: "There are 20,000 yuan in it, and I said back then that I would pay you back." ”

Zhao Xiangqiong froze in place, her expression becoming more and more ashamed: "I...... I'm not here to ask you for money. ”

"Take it, I don't want to owe you." Qi Xia was still expressionless, looking at her as if she were looking at a stranger.

Zhao Xiangqiong wiped her tears, "So, you still hate me and refuse to forgive me." ”

Qi Xia lowered her eyelashes and drank half a cup of coffee before she spoke: "I have always been very emotional about my aunt and Grandma Chen, who took me in at that time, if it weren't for them, I might have dropped out of school and gone to work." ”

Zhao Xiangqiong moved her lips, but Qi Xia didn't give her a chance to speak, "After you divorced your father, Ah Yuan and I never blamed you, because we believe that you are a family, and you will definitely come back to see us." ”

"But...... But that time at the cultural center, you asked me to ...... Don't go back to you in the future. ”

"At that time, I was very scared, my uncle had a very bad temper, and I had to think about every word I said for a long time, and I didn't dare not do what they asked me to do, for fear of being kicked out, and I didn't even dare to refute when I heard my uncle and friends say that they wanted to marry me off and ask for a bride price."

It's good to be able to have food to eat and books to read, but what else can you hope for?

As an adolescent, she doubted herself every day and felt that she was too bad.

But that day, when the snow was falling, and the world was white, a boy said to her:

Qi Xia, you are already very good.

On the days when she was at her most inferior and gloomy, that man came like light, so she remembered him for a long, long time.

Zhao Xiangqiong whispered: "I'm sorry, Xia Xia ......"

"There's no need to be sorry." Qi Xia smiled, "Everyone has their own choices, without your care over the years, Ah Yuan and I have grown up well, and we will be fine in the future." ”
