Heart with glazed tiles

Chapter 19
With his back to the door, Zhang Yifeng followed Chu Liuli's gaze, and knowing the reason for her sudden change of expression, he confirmed to her in a low voice: "Liuli, your appointment at noon will not be Yuan Xiaohui, right?"

Chu Liuli looked away and nodded to him.

Zhang Yifeng was extremely annoyed, he originally wanted to ask Chu Liuli out for dinner, and persuaded her to let go of her worries and stay with him.Now it seems that he came today at a very bad time.

Chu Liuli stood where she was, in a dilemma.Yuan Xiaohui is not stupid, judging from the current situation, she concluded that she should know what's going on.

Chu Liuli made up her mind to prepare for the baptism of a storm.

Yuan Xiaohui approached, looked Chu Liuli up and down, glanced at Zhang Yifeng out of the corner of her eye, forced a smile and said, "Liuli, you are dressed so beautifully today, you don't want to have dinner with me, you want to have dinner with him, right?"

"No, Xiaohui, I'm dating you..."

"Xiaohui, you misunderstood, Liuli didn't know that I was looking for her." Before Chu Liuli could finish speaking, Zhang Yifeng explained for her.

"Liu Li! You are so kind! When did you get so familiar? You still gave her flowers?" Yuan Xiaohui was puzzled, but quickly realized, "You rejected me because you like Liu Li, right?"

The sweltering heat was in full swing, and the heat wave was roiling, scorching Chu Liuli's skin, but she didn't feel the heat at all, because Yuan Xiaohui's eyes were piercingly cold.She really wanted Zhang Yifeng to tell Yuan Xiaohui that it wasn't what she thought, he just came to see her and send her a bouquet of flowers by the way.Even if it's just a moment of concealment, at least it can give her a chance to explain to her.

However, Zhang Yifeng confessed completely.He said he liked her, ever since he saw her at the basketball court.

After listening to Zhang Yifeng's words, Yuan Xiaohui looked at Chu Liuli in disbelief again. There were scrutiny, puzzlement, grievances, and things that Chu Liuli couldn't explain clearly in her eyes.

"Xiaohui, it's not her fault. She took your feelings into consideration and rejected me all the time. Until now, she has not accepted me. I have been pursuing her." Zhang Yifeng defended Chu Liuli again.

But he didn't know, the more he was like this, the more uncomfortable Yuan Xiaohui was.She thought, before she said anything to Chu Liuli, he started to protect her!

She glanced at Chu Liuli, then looked at Zhang Yifeng, and said with a sneer, "I'm sorry, I interrupted your date! Go ahead, I'll go first!"

After finishing speaking, she ran to the gate of the community without looking back.Chu Liuli was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly chased after her.But a taxi just happened to come to the door, and Yuan Xiaohui waved her hands and got into the car.Chu Liuli couldn't catch up, so she had to let her disappear from his sight.

She was terrified, terrified of losing her best friend because of it.

Zhang Yifeng came over and comforted her: "Liuli, I can understand her. I think she needs some time, and when she understands, she won't blame you. If you want to blame, you can only blame me, because I shouldn't like you."

Chu Liuli was in a mess in her heart, she turned her head and said, "Brother, you go back first, I want to be alone."

Zhang Yifeng knew the relationship between her and Yuan Xiaohui, and said empathetically, "Okay, Liuli, calm down and think about it, I will wait for you forever!"

Watching Zhang Yifeng leave, Chu Liuli couldn't tell what it was like.She doesn't want to lose her best friend, nor does she want to lose the person she loves, but can they have both?
A few days later, the courtyard officially issued an examination notice.As Hu Xiaoqiang said, the hospital will organize an exam for new recruits. The exam is divided into several groups such as woodwork, tile work, and color painting. Those who pass the exam will have the opportunity to participate in the next phase of the overhaul project.

It is Chu Liuli's dream to participate in the renovation of the Forbidden City. In order to prepare for the exam, she has no time to take care of the entanglement with Zhang Yifeng.She approached Yuan Xiaohui several times, but she ignored her, but fortunately, she didn't block her or delete her WeChat.Chu Liuli thought about having a good chat with her after the exam was over.

Chu Liuli already had the foundation of traditional Chinese painting. She also learned color painting from her father when she was a child. In addition, she had been studying hard under the guidance of Wu Yongzhao. After half a month, she successfully passed the exam.When she excitedly told her father the good news, Chu Zhiwei didn't have too many surprises, Chu Liuli was a little unhappy and said, "Dad, your daughter passed the exam successfully and has the opportunity to participate in the renovation project, aren't you happy?" ?”

Chu Zhiwei sullenly said, seemingly calmly: "What's so happy about something that is expected? I don't need to think about it, my daughter will definitely pass the exam!"

"Dad..." Chu Liuli was both moved and encouraged by Chu Zhiwei's special praise.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

Although Chu Zhiwei seldom asked about Chu Liuli's work situation, he could learn about his daughter from Wu Yongzhao.Wu Yongzhao told her that Chu Liuli has worked hard to practice basic skills since she joined the job. Although every day is boring, she never slacks off.She took the adjusted paint to "paint the big color" and practiced the powder repeatedly.Due to the unevenness of the components of ancient buildings, it is necessary to practice more on the curved surface at ordinary times.Chu Liuli practiced on gasoline barrels and paint barrels over and over again, had a quick lunch at noon, and continued to practice after eating.In this way, Chu Liuli, who loves learning, pondering, and practicing diligently, grew up quickly, and she was the most outstanding among the young people who entered the job in the same group.

For Chu Zhiwei, he is most gratified and proud that his son and daughter can inherit his mantle and still be so outstanding.

In the past, when there was good news, apart from telling her parents and brother, Chu Liuli would share it with her best friend Yuan Xiaohui as soon as possible, but at this moment, she withdrew her hand just as she was about to send a message to Yuan Xiaohui.

She was preparing for the exam these days, so she didn't contact Yuan Xiaohui, and Yuan Xiaohui didn't contact her either.However, some things cannot be avoided. Zhang Yifeng is waiting for her answer. Before she can reply him, she must get Yuan Xiaohui's understanding and forgiveness.

After thinking about it, she mustered up her courage and sent a message: "Xiaohui, I have some good news for you. I passed the exam and may soon be able to participate in the repair project."

After the message was sent, Chu Liuli waited anxiously, worried that Yuan Xiaohui would still not reply.No, a few minutes later, she received a message from Yuan Xiaohui. Although the content was very simple, with only three words "Congratulations", it was enough to show that she did not completely ignore her.

This made Chu Liuli see hope, and she quickly took advantage of the situation to send another message, asking her to meet at the western restaurant the next day and have a good chat with her.But this time, she waited for a long time, but she still didn't get Yuan Xiaohui's reply.She called her anxiously, but Yuan Xiaohui didn't answer.

Chu Liuli had the urge to cry, she must not lose her best friend.Glancing at the time, Chu Liuli picked up her coat and left the house. Since she didn't answer the phone, she went to find her!
