This intention is sent to Zhaozhao

Chapter 15 Extra Story: Half of Seawater, Half of Flame
That round of bright moon should live a lifetime with a better person.

After deciding to get engaged, Qiao Chuyi wanted to follow Bo Zhaoxun to the old house of Bo's family to formally visit his parents.

Although we have known each other for more than ten years, the two families are already familiar with each other, but there is still a little bit of etiquette that should be there. Qiao Chuyi searched the Internet when he had time——

What should you say when meeting your boyfriend's parents for the first time?
Dos and don'ts for meeting boyfriend's parents.

How can I show that I am a gentle and considerate girlfriend from the details?
……

She sat in a chair, stared at the screen, and wrote line after line of notes.

When Dr. Bo was on vacation, he made an appointment with his parents in advance, and informed Qiao Chuyi to take her home the next day.

She couldn't sleep all night, got up early the next morning, and hurriedly applied a mask to make up. Bo Zhaoxun made breakfast and found her staring blankly at the bed covered in clothes.

Seeing him appear, Qiao Chuyi rushed forward, and Bo Zhaoxun took advantage of the opportunity to hug her.

"Bo Zhaoxun, which dress do you think I look good on?"

He asked back, "Which one doesn't look good on you?"

The perfect boyfriend, Qiao Chuyi bent her eyes and raised her head to kiss his chin.

His nose was full of the sweet and lingering smell that belonged to her alone. Bo Zhaoxun took a tight breath, his throat was astringent, and his heart was shaking with a kind of eagerness to move. In order to match her height, he lowered his head, wanting to deepen the kiss. Joe pushed it away intentionally.

"I've thought about it, how about wearing a shirt with a skirt?"

Before Bo Zhaoxun could speak, she quickly found out the clothes she wanted, and pushed him out: "Go out, I want to change."

The door was closed with a slam, pressing close to the tip of his nose, Bo Zhaoxun touched his chin, thinking that women are really fickle.

Lotus root pink long-sleeved shirt, doll collar, cuff tie design, matched with a high-waisted pleated skirt, dignified but not rigid, tied her hair into the parents’ favorite ponytail, Qiao Chuyi looked at the mirror again and again , finally decided to wear it like this.

After a quick breakfast, before going out, she sized up Bo Zhaoxun who was dressed casually: "Is that how you dress?"

Although he is very young and handsome, isn't that what he usually wears when he runs in the morning?
Bo Zhaoxun: "Otherwise?"

She hinted: "That suit I bought you looks great."

Bo Zhaoxun smiled helplessly and rubbed her face: "We are going home, not getting married, so don't be so nervous, just be casual."

Who is nervous?Who is nervous? !
It was rare that there was no traffic jam, and the road was smooth, and we arrived at Bo's house soon.

As the car slowly drove into the garage, Qiao Chuyi felt his heart pounding, and refused to get off: "Bo Zhaoxun, I'm afraid."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Bo Zhaoxun got out of the car and opened the door on her side, "My parents ask every day when to marry you, and they treat you like a treasure."

"This kind of meeting is too formal. What if I mess up and your parents regret it?"

With a smile in his eyes, Bo Zhaoxun leaned over, put his hand next to her ear, leaned over, and gently pressed his forehead against her: "It's nothing special, I don't regret it."

"But..." Qiao Chuyi wanted to say something more, but Bo Zhaoxun watched her small mouth open and close in front of his eyes, like a tempting candy, so he simply kissed her to stop her chattering worries.

The soft touch pressed against her lips. She hummed and wanted to shrink back, but she was fixed on the back of the chair by Bo Zhaoxun and couldn't move. She moved up and kissed her eyes, her voice hoarse: "You owe me this morning, you won't forget it, right?"

"Bo Zhaoxun!" Qiao Chuyi was ashamed and annoyed, and pushed him, "I want to get out of the car."

Only now did she feel that the air in the car was so thin that she could hardly breathe, her heart was beating so fast, her face was on fire, and she got out of the car swiftly.

To quickly achieve the goal, Dr. Bo has a hundred methods.

"Do you have many relatives?" Qiao Chuyi followed behind him and asked again, "What if I don't know what to call them?"

Bo Zhaoxun held her hand: "You can call me whatever you want."

That's right, Qiao Chuyi nodded, it's a good idea.

Qiao Chu, who was so nervous that his palms were wet, saw Bo Qingru and Zhou Zhi, and Bo Zhaoxun said hello: "Dad, Mom."

Without even thinking about it, Qiao Chu followed Bo Zhaoxun and called out, "Dad, Mom!"

……

The parents of the Bo family agreed repeatedly with joy, and Qiao Chuyi, who realized it, hid behind Bo Zhaoxun.

It's embarrassing, I haven't got engaged yet, how can I call someone's parents for the first official visit.

With a smile on his face, Bo Zhaoxun felt comfortable all over, and patted her on the head appreciatively.

Fortunately, there were no other relatives. Zhou Zhi was afraid of frightening her daughter-in-law with so many people, so they were the only ones to meet this time.Bo Qingzhang lives in a nursing home, and his health has just improved slightly recently, so it is inconvenient to travel around, and he said that we will meet again next time.

The Bo family's parents have always loved Qiao Chuyi very much, and they are even more happy to see the relationship come to fruition. Seeing that the parents are not restrained as imagined, there is constant laughter in the living room, and Qiao Chuyi gradually let go.

Chatting happily, she also tried to teach the two elders to dance in the square, and when she jumped up, Bo Zhaoxun hugged her to prevent her from going crazy.

Talking and joking around noon, Zhou Zhi deliberately took Qiao Chuyi and drove to a nearby market to buy vegetables. When he saw an acquaintance, he greeted him and introduced Qiao Chuyi cheerfully: "This is my daughter-in-law."

Everyone praised Professor Zhou's daughter-in-law for being beautiful.

Zhou Zhi said politely: "It's okay, after all, it is said that the daughter-in-law follows the mother-in-law."

Qiao Chuyi was amazed. In fact, Aunt Zhou was not a strict person in her bones, but she had high expectations for her son, and she always felt that boys must be taught strictly and should not be coddled in the slightest. Therefore, in Bo Zhaoxun's growth, she was rarely amiable. when.

In the past few years, as she got older, her thoughts were gradually changing, and the relationship between mother and child was much better.

Zhou Zhi lowered his head and picked two round kale: "Your elder brother likes to eat this, he will come for lunch later, I will make him a kale minced meat roll."

Dialect Xiu, Qiao Chuyi suddenly thought, she hadn't seen him for a long time, and she was not surprised that he agreed to have dinner with them today.

It's time to make lunch after shopping for groceries.

It was the first time that Qiao Chuyi came to the door formally, trying her best to impress her as a virtuous and virtuous person, so she insisted on cooking by herself, so she rushed into the kitchen and was picking out what to cook, when Bo Zhaoxun came in and carried her out.

"The kitchen is full of oily smoke and smoky, and you will definitely yell that you have no appetite after cooking."

"But..." Qiao Chuyi said hesitantly, "I want to show a good performance and prove that I can take good care of you."

Bo Zhaoxun rolled up his sleeves and looked at her with a bright light in his eyes: "I don't need to prove it, I'm already fine if you're by my side."

She helped him fold the other cuff and whispered, "Me too."

Bo Zhaoxun was in charge of cooking, and she was not allowed to stay in the kitchen. Qiao Chuyi, who had no room to use her hands and feet, had to walk around.

Although it's autumn, the trees in the yard are still green. Bo Qingzhang likes to raise birds. The goldfinch is chirping among the branches, and the wind blows all over the yard.

She didn't visit two places, she fixed her gaze, and suddenly saw Fang Yanxiu.

He didn't know when he arrived, he was wearing a light gray cardigan, standing in front of the window sill in the side hall, feeding a cat, the sunlight was like the ripples on the lake, rippling round and round, the light light was smooth Looking at his brows and eyes, the corners of the man's eyes and eyebrows are peaceful, and the sharp edges and corners in the early years have disappeared.

The snow dumpling-like kitten meowed like a baby, licking the milk tenderly.

It's not good to turn a blind eye, Qiao Chuyi walked slowly behind him, but didn't know what to say, so he kept silent.

It was the dialect repair that broke the deadlock.

He handed her a jewelry box, opened it, and it was a flat glass safety bracelet, Fang Yanxiu said: "This is a meeting gift."

The bracelet seemed to be of great value, and just as Qiao Chuyi was about to decline, Fang Yanxiu stuffed it into her hand involuntarily: "It's been prepared a long time ago, a wish has nothing to do with price, so there's no need to refuse."

She had no choice but to put it away and thank him. After thinking about it, she couldn't find anything to talk about. Just as Qiao Chuyi wanted to make an excuse to go to the living room, she heard him ask calmly, "Is Jiaojiao okay?"

It seemed like a calm question, but I didn't know how long I thought about it before I couldn't help asking it.

"Very good, I have started a new life, very happy." Speaking of Qin Jiaojiao, Qiao Chuyi said calmly, "I said a long time ago that without you, she will live a better life."

"That's right." Fang Yanxiu smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's good."

"Have you ever liked her?" Qiao Chuyi couldn't help but wanted to know his answer.

If you like it, you have a firm mind, and any obstacle is not an obstacle.

"There are many things in this world that have no results and cannot be obtained." Fang Yanxiu did not answer her question directly, but said, "I am not worthy."

She seems to understand, but also does not seem to understand.

"Qiao Chuyi, do you know who I most envy?"

Before she could speak, he said to himself: "I envy Zhou Chiyuan, no matter what, I can let go if I say let go, but I can't."

Many things, others will not understand.

Everyone thought it was well concealed, but in fact, Fang Yanxiu knew the truth about his parents' death a few years ago, and the resentment he held for many years turned out to be completely wrong.

The Bo family was kind, adopted him, raised him well, and didn't care about his previous hostility at all. This kindness can't be repaid.

Fang Yanxiu goes to the nursing home to see Bo Qingzhang once a week. He is getting older now, with white silk on his temples, and his health is getting worse day by day.

Every sunny day, the warm sunshine makes people's heart soften, and Fang Yanxiu often pushes him to walk in the garden. Bo Qingzhang said with a smile: "You and Zhao Xun always come and go, and never meet each other. It's so big." Why is it still like when I was a child?"

The lawn near the lake was lush and green, and there was an old man with gray hair practicing Tai Chi. Dialect Xiu cast his gaze over it and remained silent.

Bo Qingzhang sighed, and changed the topic: "Yanxiu, if I can see you decide on a lifelong event in my lifetime, I will die in peace."

Fang Yanxiu frowned: "Uncle, it's very nice, what are you talking about?"

Bo Qingzhang's eyes were gentle: "Yanxiu, you are very similar to me when I was young, but I have been alone for half my life, so uncle doesn't want you to live too sharply, it's not good."

Hearing Bo Qingzhang say such words for the first time, Fang Yanxiu froze for a moment.

Unlike his professor brother who has been engaged in academic research all his life, Bo Qingzhang had a flamboyant personality and refused to admit defeat when he was young. He was always known for his iron fist in the business field.

Later, when his son was two years old, Bo Qingzhang's family of three traveled far away and got into a car accident. His wife and children were killed in that car accident. worse and worse.

Bo Qingzhang never remarried and had no children. Later, Fang Yanxiu came to Bo's house, and Bo Qingzhang treated him like his own life, and taught him how to behave.Bo Zhaoxun had no intention of going into business, and Bo Qingzhang had to be taken over by someone who had worked so hard all his life.

Furthermore, he has never been able to get out of the shadows of his youth, being sensitive, suspicious, and irritable. He has seen a psychiatrist, but with little success.

Just like that year, when Bo Zhaoxun participated in the Quick Counting Contest, he knew that Bo Zhaoxun wanted to go abroad to study, so as to avoid disputes with him. Bo Zhaoxun had a weak relationship with his parents and was used to making decisions by himself. Bo's parents were open-minded and respected his decision.

At that time, they didn't know that Bo Qingzhang's health was not as good as before. He hoped that his family would not stay away for the rest of the time, so he did not agree with Bo Zhaoxun's going abroad.

Bo Zhaoxun still has a youthful heart and is unwilling to compromise easily, so he made an agreement to go abroad after winning the quick calculation competition.

But after Fang Yanxiu knew what Bo Qingzhang was thinking, he clearly said clearly that it would be good to keep him, but Fang Yanxiu still took the worst way - to ruin his game.

It's like a deep-rooted disease, the more you care about it, the more you have to pretend not to care, it's not that you haven't thought about changing it, but you can't.

Just like later, Fang Yanxiu understood that Bo Zhaoxun had no intention of entering the entertainment industry. At that time, there were overwhelming gossip news about Bo Zhaoxun, and the rumors that smeared Qiao Chuyi as a junior high-ranking officer. He used his relationship to suppress them one by one, allowing Bo Zhaoxun to live a peaceful life. .

Dialect Xiu never mentioned it.

He is afraid that others will treat him well, and he is afraid of receiving warm kindness. Every time he encounters it, he can't help but withdraw and avoid it, fearing that this kind of warmth is just passing away.

He has understood since he was a child that if he can't last long, he should never get it.

How dare he promise her the future like this.

It's better to keep her in the memory.

Staying in that dim and rainy afternoon, he persuaded his parents not to gamble any more, but his father who was anxious to lose beat him with a tough cane.

The young Fang Yanxiu hid at the entrance of an alley and wept. Qin Jiaojiao ran over and gave him a handkerchief, which contained two candied haws, most of which had been melted and stuck to the handkerchief.

She said timidly, "Brother, don't cry, eat this."

Qin Jiaojiao squatted in front of him, his thin white hands were slightly cool, and touched his wound very carefully: "Brother, does it hurt?"

She leaned over, pursed her lips and blew on the wound: "My mother said that it won't hurt anymore."

Fang Yanxiu suppressed his tears and asked her, "What's your name?"

"Qin Jiaojiao," she tilted her head, "that Jiaojiao from 'The cold spring is bright and full of bright moon'."

The cold spring is shining brightly and the moon is so beautiful.

Qin Jiaojiao hadn't officially moved to Qinghuai at that time, but lived here with his parents for a few days to sell some things during the holidays.

How could I meet her, why can't I forget her.

Others looked down on him as the son of a gambler, only Qin Jiaojiao cared for him, even though she never knew what this unintentional kindness meant to him.

It was also from that time that he quietly watched her grow up, saw her not doing well, and listened to her sharing her thoughts under the guise of a pen pal.In order to have a common topic with her, he bought her favorite magazine. He only wanted to accompany her on a difficult journey, but he couldn't get away, and he couldn't refuse her invitation to meet.

He thought, if only to let her know his name.

Every day with Qin Jiaojiao is very happy.

No matter how busy he is at work, he still has to find time to find her.

There is no need for him to inform in advance, Anan will book a plane ticket for him early, no matter how tired and unsatisfactory he is, as long as he sees her, it seems that it will disappear.

But the feelings are getting out of control.

Seeking more and more, seeing her talking to other boys would inexplicably get angry, and even seeing a boy's contact information in her mobile phone could not help but get angry.

Once Qin Jiaojiao yelled at him: "Dialect Xiu, why do you care about me so much!"

Angry, he raised his hand,

Qin Jiaojiao's eyes were red, and he raised his face: "Why, you want to hit me?"

The moment his palm was about to fall, his feverish mind suddenly calmed down.

He almost did something to her, he actually wanted to do it to her!
He almost ran away.

The psychiatrist told him: "You are still subconsciously resisting, Fang Yanxiu. If you continue like this, I will be helpless. I can't face it squarely. There is no way to treat it."

Fang Yanxiu whispered, "I can't... I really can't..."

Since that dispute, Fang Yanxiu always thought of his mother who was always submissive to his father and his father who was violent. He obviously hated such a father, but he became a bit like him.

The morbid possessiveness made Fang Yanxiu dare not get closer. He tried his best, but still couldn't do it, and was afraid that it would ruin her.

Fang Yanxiu finally admitted that in that bright and bright moon, he should spend his life with a better person.

He doesn't deserve it.

Bo Qingzhang coughed twice, and asked him: "How are you getting along with that girl from the Liang family? That second girl is eccentric and likes you. It's better to settle down sooner."

Fang Yanxiu covered him with a blanket and smiled: "She is still young, so she is not in a hurry after two years."

Seeing that he was not as resistant to this topic as before, Bo Qingzhang was in a happy mood: "Uncle is getting old, so he can't control you young people so much, but Qi Li is kind to me, you have to treat his daughter well."

Dialect Xiu said nothing more.

Liang Qizheng is Liang Sang's father, and Bo Qingzhang is a brother who has been worshiped. In the car accident that year, he was the one who rescued Bo Qingzhang regardless of his life.

In recent years, the two families have joked that they want to get married. In a party, it was said that Liang Sang fell in love with Yan Xiu at first sight. Fang Yanxiu had never had any scandals.

Fang Yanxiu once confessed to her: "I may never get married in my life."

Liang Sang laughed: "That's just right, I still have to be free for a few more years. In this case, let's cooperate and get engaged first to stabilize the family, and we will talk about the future."

He thought about it for a while and agreed, at least to let his seriously ill uncle stop worrying about him.

Liang Sang knew that he had a girl on his heart, and went to see her secretly twice, and later played a prank. Unexpectedly, he didn't explain at all to Qin Jiaojiao's questioning, so he let go.

Let her go, let her from now on, the sky is also vast, and the earth is also vast.

The only thing he can do for her is to open a shop for her parents, so as to save them from running around and working hard, and then guarding the cafe she will never know, deeply expressing this unspoken feeling. Hidden in my heart.

"My...brother, very lucky," Fang Yanxiu rubbed his brows as if weary, "I wish you happiness."

"Thank you." Qiao Chuyi said softly.

There is wind in the years, blowing away the dust and sand from the way, year after year, everyone is saying goodbye to the past.

Only he, standing in the tide of the past, refused to leave, wanting to take another look.

Just take another look.
