45. Be good, call your husband
Hearing his answer, Jiang Yao's voice weakened, raised his little head, and looked at him with attachment in his eyes, "But my friend will come back as long as he studies abroad for three years, do you think their relationship will change?" ”
Shen Xijing sneered lightly, "Three years is a long time, enough for a person to change his mind." ”
He was realistic, not idealistic at all, but she knew that most people were.
If Jiang Yao wants to study abroad, then he is not qualified to ask him to stay in this relationship for three years, she loosened his wrinkled clothes by herself, and her brain had to be broken, and finally came up with a solution to the best of both worlds, and asked lightly and dumbly: "Then do you think it is possible for them to study abroad together?" ”
"If he had a certain career, he wouldn't leave everything behind and start over abroad." Shen Xijing's eyebrows were cold, and he said a cold answer.
Then there are only two options left.
Either they stay together, or she and Shen Xijing break up and go abroad.
Jiang Yao won't be able to make a choice for a while, and when she decides the first time, she will tell him in person.
……
She didn't expect Jiang Qi to know about this, thinking that Xu Xiaoyan would not tell her uncle and grandmother before this kind of private matter was settled.
Jiang Qi knew that it must have been when Xu Xiaoyan and his uncle and grandmother called him, and it was passed on to him one after another.
Jiang Qi asked her on WeChat, [Have you decided to study abroad? 】
Jiang Yao said truthfully, [Not yet. 】
Jiang Qi was silent for a moment, and then asked, [Did you talk to Shen Xijing?] 】
Jiang Yao has always known everything to him: [No, but I have knocked on the side, he doesn't want me to go out to study. 】
Jiang Qi: [Then you don't need to discuss with him, do what you want in your heart, if he really loves you, he will respect your choice.] 】
That being said, Jiang Yao couldn't selfishly ask him to wait for three years.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Jiang Qi said something that made her gradually make up her mind: [The future is more important than love, and love is more rare than the future, but in the end, you will understand that the right person will stand in your future, not an obstacle blocking your future, but a part of your way forward. 】
Jiang Yao only replied with three words: [Got it.] 】
After Jiang Qi sent WeChat, he began to search on the computer for things about studying in the UK.
Bai Zhaofei, who was passing by behind him, glanced at it, "Damn, buddy, you want to study abroad?" ”
"Not me." Jiang Qi looked at the study abroad matters and recorded everything in a notepad.
"Who's that?" Fang Kangyan leaned over curiously and asked, it was the first time he had seen Jiang Qi take notes so seriously in addition to playing games.
Jiang Qi was about to speak, when he heard the door of the bedroom open, and then heard Bai Zhaofei rush over excitedly, shouting: "Brother Shen, you are back~"
Shen Xijing lazily turned sideways, easily dodging his weight attack, and idly teased his eyes, "Who wants to study abroad?" ”
Jiang Qi still didn't answer, because even if he wanted to say something, Jiang Yao should tell him, not to mention that he wasn't sure if she decided to go to the UK or not, and he definitely couldn't decide for her directly.
Although he hoped that she would study abroad in his heart, after all, people can't only have love, but also have their own careers, and when a person only has love and no career, he will lose his own value.
Bai Zhaofei's mouth was broken, and he made a small report and said, "It's Brother Qi who is secretly investigating the matter of studying abroad, and he has written a small book, and he said that he didn't want to prepare for studying abroad?" ”
Fang Kangyan also felt that it made sense, and agreed, "Shen Ye come and persuade him, it's not good to stay in China and let's start a career together, why are you going abroad?" ”
Shen Xijing glanced at him and faintly saw the information in the computer, "Why do you want to go abroad?" ”
"Who else wants to study abroad?" Jiang Qi asked rhetorically.
"A friend." Shen Xijing hooked his lips senselessly.
Both sides are probing.
Jiang Qi finally told the truth, "It's not that I want to study abroad, it's a friend who wants to study abroad, and I help her check the information." ”
A trace of irritability flashed in Shen Xijing's eyes, as well as the panic and uneasiness that came from his heart, he knocked one out of the cigarette case, "Tsk, who has a lighter." ”
"Master Shen." As he spoke, Bai Zhaofei immediately took one out of the drawer and threw it to him.
Shen Xijing took the lighter and went to the balcony, although this is a men's dormitory, smoking is also a rule that smoking can only be on the balcony.
After a while, Jiang Qi turned off the computer, got up and walked to the balcony.
Just as Bai Zhaofei and Fang Kangyan also wanted to join in the fun, after all, the brothers hadn't gotten together for a long time, and it was rare for Shen Xijing to go back to the boys' dormitory.
Who knows, Jiang Qi snapped closed the door of the balcony and separated the two.
Bai Zhaofei was stunned, "What did he say so mysteriously, and our brothers couldn't listen to it?" ”
Fang Kangyan cut his voice, "If you don't listen, you won't listen, who is rare." ”
He sat back at his desk, but his ears were pricked up to eavesdrop, but he could hear intermittently, and he couldn't even say a word, which was really worrying.
Outside the balcony, Jiang Qi didn't get straight to the point for the first time, but looked at him left and right, "Didn't you almost quit smoking before." ”
Shen Xijing took a puff of cigarette and said one word with an expressionless face: "Annoying." ”
Jiang Qi smiled instead, "In the past, you were always worried about things at home, but since that incident, you shouldn't have any attachment to your family, it's not that things at home annoy you, that's your girlfriend?" ”
That incident refers to his mother's suicide.
I asked this a little knowingly.
Both of them knew it, but they tacitly didn't say it, because there was still room for maneuver, and this room was not something that the two of them could control, it was all up to one person's decision.
Shen Xijing's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his voice was vague at the corner of his mouth, and he asked, "If your girlfriend gave up on you because of her future, will you forgive me?" ”
"If that's what she wants, why can't it be done?" Jiang Qi asked rhetorically.
Shen Xijing sneered, "I'm not as selfless as you." ”
He just wants to see Jiang Yao every day, to be able to hug her when he wants to hold her, and when he wants to talk to her, she can stand in front of him alive, a Jiang Yao who can talk, laugh, cry and make trouble, not the cold words across the screen.
Jiang Qi was silent for a while, "It may be that I don't have enough backache when I stand and talk, when I ask her to give up her future and choose you, you can ask yourself, can you sacrifice the company founded by our brothers, sacrifice your own career, and start to accompany her to study in the UK again?" If you can't, then respect what she has in mind. ”
Since the two of them said it bluntly, they no longer hid it, and went straight to the point.
I don't know how long it took, so long that Jiang Qi thought he wouldn't speak.
Shen Xijing took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and shook it slightly.
"What if I could?" He said.
Now, it was Jiang Qi's turn to have nothing to say.
He smiled, but he didn't expect that the one who was in love was not Jiang Yao, but Shen Xijing.
……
Jiang Yao received the study abroad notes that Jiang Qi gave her, no matter how big or small, down to every little thing there was a memo.
She was taken aback, [I don't know, I thought you were going to study abroad? 】
Jiang Qi smiled, [It's not impossible, it's just that the family is poor. 】
The first time I heard him cry poor, in fact, his family is not poor, his uncle's job is a career editor, the salary is high, the salary is good, and he usually has no worries about food and clothing, but it is also a bit laborious to support him to study abroad.
Jiang Yao didn't say much, [Thank you, little uncle. 】
Jiang Qi asked rhetorically, [Is this a decision to go to study abroad, or tell him as soon as possible.] 】
Jiang Yao didn't deny it this time, she replied, [I'll find someone to talk to him.] 】
She also knew that she couldn't put it off any longer, there were only two weeks left before the exam, and if she delayed it until the end, she would be even more angry when she told him.
Therefore, Jiang Yao plans to confess this matter to him this weekend.
……
Sunday.
Jiang Yao woke up earlier than Shen Xijing, probably because he couldn't sleep because he had something on his mind, so he went to the kitchen after freshening up.
Auntie has come, and it is normal to see her, she will come to stay for one night every Saturday, and she will deliberately avoid this night, pack up and go home early, it is normal to be young and vigorous.
"Shall I come, Xiao Jiang?" Auntie saw that she was busy cooking porridge, isn't this robbing her own work.
Jiang Yao didn't agree, she washed rice absentmindedly, "I want to cook for him myself this morning, is it okay?" ”
Where did the aunt dare to say no, she hesitated and said, "Okay, yes, I'm afraid you'll be tired." "I'm afraid that my salary will be in vain.
"It's fine." Jiang Yao thought that this might be the last time.
Not only do I not feel tired, but I feel that I cherish this time very much.
"Then it's up to you, I'll clean the room." The aunt didn't dare to be idle, so she left.
"Hmm."
When Jiang Yao was washing rice, he remembered the nightmare he had last night, and although he woke up from the dream, his mind was still very clear now.
She dreamed that she broke up with Shen Xijing, and then went to study in the United Kingdom, and returned to China three years later, she met Shen Xijing again, but he already had a lover by his side who could never leave him for the rest of his life.
When he looked at the girl, his eyes were very cherished, and when he looked up and saw her, he was like a stranger, without even saying hello, and passed by his lover and left.
Just thinking about it made her heart tingle violently.
They had gone through a lot of hardships to be together, did she really have to give up on him so easily?
If she stays for him, she will regret and be unhappy if she gives up her future, and she is afraid that she will blame him for restraining herself.
No matter how you choose, it's all wrong.
Tick.
The surface of the water for washing rice ripples because of the dripping water stains.
After Jiang Yao found out, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, but she didn't expect this move to be caught by Shen Xijing, who came over, she was stunned, and her voice choked intermittently: "You...... Why do you wake up so early? ”
Shen Xijing's waist leaned against the small island in the kitchen, and his dark eyes stared at her, "Shouldn't I ask you?" ”
Jiang Yao thought that she was really 'busy' until two or three o'clock last night, so she lowered her head and filtered out the rice water that had been washed, "I just want to make you breakfast." ”
"I don't need you to do it, I'll leave it to Auntie."
"I'd like to do it for you myself."
Shen Xijing saw something, her dark eyes wandered her for a moment, and she smiled indifferently: "So serious, should it be to make me a breakup breakfast?" ”
Jiang Yao stiffened, raised his little head, and his voice choked, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”
Shen Xijing restrained her smile, wiped the water stains from the corners of her reddened eyes, and lowered her voice, "I don't want to see you cry, except on the bed." ”
Jiang Yao's face was red with anger, and her tears forced her back, ignoring him and continuing to make her breakfast.
After the porridge was ready, Jiang Yao couldn't eat a bite, on the contrary, the other party's appetite seemed to be good.
The more this is the case, the more Jiang Yao can't open his mouth, and when he wants to open his mouth a few times, it becomes: "How does the porridge taste?" ”
"Okay."
The boy who said this finished a whole bowl.
Jiang Yao was inexplicably satisfied, and just as he was about to get up and serve him another bowl, he grabbed his wrist and sat down again.
"I've finished the porridge you made, what do you want to say?" He asked.
Jiang Yao didn't expect him to hit the nail on the head, not giving her any way out, looking at his hot eyes, she didn't even have the courage to say that sentence, she just stumbled and choked her voice, and spoke incoherently: "My mother wants me to study abroad, and the friend last time was myself, I didn't want to hide it from you, but your reaction scared me, and this is grandma's last wish, my mother sold my grandmother's house, just for me to study abroad, I don't want to live up to my grandma's expectations, so I ......"
"So, you're here to break up with me?" Shen Xijing was almost emotionless, and these words rolled out of his throat.
Jiang Yao's heart hurt so much that she was deprived of oxygen, and she looked at him with blurred tears, "I'm sorry, Shen Xijing, I'm ...... I still want to study abroad. ”
She couldn't say the word breakup.
Shen Xijing smiled, "Is it so difficult to say the word breakup, Jiang Yao?" ”
Jiang Yao saw that there was no smile in his eyes, she was very indifferent, she was as cold and weak as if she was irrigated by seawater, and her voice was hoarse, "I asked you last time, you said that people's hearts will change in three years, and they will not abandon their careers to study abroad, I shouldn't be so selfish, let you wait for me to come back after studying abroad for three years, then we ......"
That's it.
Before these four words could be spoken, Shen Xijing pinched her jaw to stop her words, and sneered, "I can really say it, I think highly of my position in your Jiang Yao's heart." ”
Jiang Yao's jaw hurt a little, but she knew that he was angry, and she was already very restrained, tears rolled down her cheeks, and drops of hot fell on his arm, repeating sorry over and over again.
Maybe seeing her crying too pitifully, Shen Xijing finally couldn't bear it, held her cheek, wiped the tears from her face with her thumb, leaned over to kiss the tears from the corners of her mouth, and said: "Don't you just want to study abroad, okay, Lao Tzu will accompany you." ”
What did he say?
Would he give up the lab he had been working in here for more than a year, the company his brothers had built together, his career, his family, his everything, and go abroad with her?
Jiang Yao was too shocked to react for a while, but he didn't give himself too much time to think, and the air was quickly taken away by him, and she whispered: "Shen Xijing, I'm ...... I can't breathe......"
He said, "What to call it, I taught you." ”
Jiang Yao grabbed his hand as if begging for mercy, the tip of his nose was full of crying, "Brother......"
"Good, call husband." Shen Xijing picked up the little girl who was crying and her nose was red from her seat and walked to the bedroom.
