Chapter 5 The Distant and Silent You

Chapter 5 The Distant and Silent You

"When a person is young, he doesn't wake up in his dream, but he has to go back when he wakes up."

Qiao Chuyi has memorized this line for many years, and wants to go back after waking up, but where is my hometown.

Qiao Chuyi was in a daze, as if she had slept for a long time, and it seemed that she hadn't found a moment of peace.

The incandescent lamp cast a dazzling light, the darkness and the light intersected, she opened her eyes twice in a daze, only to feel that there were figures in front of her, and she couldn't see anything clearly, and the noisy human voices poured into her ears indistinctly, mixed with what she couldn't understand With the medical term, Qiao Chuyi's head hurt even more, and she gradually fell into a dream again.

It's a long, long dream, it's hard to tell if it's true or not. Qiao Chuyi dreamed that she and Bo Zhaoxun went to Tianchang Mountain to sketch together. The sky was originally clear, but suddenly it turned into lightning and thunder, and they went down the mountain in the rain, but suddenly they were in danger. During this time, she firmly held Bo Zhaoxun who was about to fall down the mountain, but in the end he resolutely threw his hand away.

Bo Zhaoxun!
She opened her eyes suddenly.

The blurred vision gradually became clear, first saw the snow-white ceiling, and then smelled the smell of disinfectant in the air.

The weather outside was fine, the sun shone through the glass window and fell to the side of the hospital bed. After a while, Qiao Chuyi's consciousness was fully awake, she squinted her eyes and licked her chapped lips. She was very thirsty and wanted to drink water.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as an unparalleled road. Qiao Chuyi turned her head and found that there was a glass of water on the low cabinet next to the hospital bed. She moved to the side of the bed and stretched her right arm after a long time. Touch the rim of the paper cup.

"Little Qiao!" The door of the ward was pushed open, and Yan Xiangxiang had just put the thermos aside, when he looked up and saw Qiao Chuyi staring at her dark eyes, he immediately screamed, and rushed towards her bed, because the speed was too fast to set off a gust of wind , by the way overturned her life-saving water.

Seeing Gan Lin disappear into nothingness, Qiao Chuyi lay upright, without any strength left.

"Little Qiao," Yan Xiangxiang's eyes were red, and he was crying, "Why did you wake up? We are almost dying of anxiety. We went to climb the mountain just after the snow fell. Are you out of your mind!"

Qiao Chuyi coughed twice, raised her chin slightly, and looked at Shangyan Xiangxiang's watery eyes with some doubts: "Who are you?"

Yan Xiangxiang's many complaints were suddenly stuck in her throat. She widened her eyes and looked at Qiao Chuyi in disbelief: "Little Qiao?"

"Who is Xiao Qiao?" Qiao Chuyi's slender eyelashes flickered and her expression became more puzzled.

"Lunch is here, hot and sour potato shreds, appetizer." Sheng Xiren arrived before he could hear, carrying a packed lunch box in both hands, and pushed open the half-closed door with his knees.

Yan Xiangxiang seemed to be waiting for a savior, and grabbed Sheng Xi's arm tightly: "Xiao Qiao seems to have lost her memory."

"No way, you spilled such a big pot of dog blood?!" Sheng Xi hurriedly put the things in his hand on the table, leaned over to the bed and stared at Qiao Chuyi with a sigh, "It is said that the concussion In this kind of thing, luck can almost make people go back to BC. I think this is true. Our little Qiao has now become a Yuanmou person who doesn't understand anything, but don't be afraid. Best friend, it’s okay to teach her how to walk upright first.” Then he stretched out his hand solemnly, and said in a serious manner, “Let’s get to know each other again, classmate Xiao Qiao, I’m your brother Sheng Xi, come on, call me brother.”

Qiao Chuyi let out a cold chuckle, and grabbed Sheng Xi's ear: "Sheng Xixi, who are you brother? You secretly asked me to borrow 200 yuan to buy fireworks to make the girls happy, and told me not to tell Uncle Sheng about it." Please answer."

"Wrong, wrong." Sheng Xi covered his ears, compromised happily, and then said aggrievedly, "I think your memory is really good."

Qiao Chuyi let go of her hand, probably because she had been lying down for a long time, her head was still dizzy, and her left arm was in severe pain. She weakly lifted her right hand, which was still able to move freely: "Xiangxiang, pour me a glass of water."

Only then did Yan Xiangxiang realize that Qiao Chuyi was playing a prank just now, so he angrily mixed a glass of warm water for her, thought for a while, took a straw and put it in, and brought it to Qiao Chuyi's mouth.

Qiao Chuyi drank the whole glass of water in one go, as if it was raining after a long drought, she drank anxiously and coughed from choking, Yan Xiangxiang patted her on the back, and said angrily, "Why are you in a hurry, no one will snatch it from you."

"Xiangxiang beauty, I finally came back to life, where is my dad?" Qiao Chuyi let out a long sigh of relief.

Yan Xiangxiang tidied the quilt for her: "Uncle Qiao guarded you all night yesterday, and I was only persuaded to go home and rest this morning. Xiao Qiao, Uncle Qiao has been very angry recently. Your aunt came over the day before yesterday and said she wanted to pick you up to Qing Dynasty. Huai went to see a doctor, but was scolded by your father and left."

"My aunt is here?" Qiao Chuyi was surprised, "The last time I saw my aunt was ten years ago."

"I came here the day before yesterday. I seem to be attending some art exhibition not far from here. I stopped by to see you. I didn't expect you to fall like this. Xiao Qiao, your aunt is very beautiful, she doesn't look like you at all!" Yan Xiangxiang said excitedly Feeling high, I thought of the woman I saw outside the ward a few days ago. She was tall and slender, with a dusty temperament, and her long hair was like black satin. On such a cold day, she was only wearing a woolen knee-length skirt and a smoky blue dress. coat.

"But he was scolded severely by Uncle Qiao and left."

Qiao Chuyi snorted, and rubbed her fingers unconsciously on the bed sheet. She was not surprised to hear the news. As far back as she could remember, her aunt was a taboo in the family.

Her beautiful aunt, Qiao Ye, was quite a rebellious girl when she was young.

Several generations of the Qiao family have taken root in Dengxi Town. Many years ago, the Qiao family’s parents were medicine farmers who made a living by picking traditional Chinese medicine.Qiao Ye has loved to paint and draw since she was a child. She is extremely talented and very aura. Qiao Chuyi's father, Qiao Zhisheng, will do some odd jobs after school for his younger sister to learn to paint.

In fact, at the beginning, Qiao Ye was asked to learn painting, just to make her life a bit of entertainment. The biggest wish of the elders of the Qiao family is that their daughter can finish college, come home to a stable job, get married and have children, and live a smooth and smooth life.

But Qiao Ye didn't like it, she was too ambitious to learn painting, so she insisted on going to Qinghuai and saying that she wanted to be a painter.

The elders of the Qiao family hated that iron could not be made into steel, and took a long-distance bus to Qinghuai to find her without telling Qiao Zhisheng, hoping to persuade the stubborn little daughter, but unexpectedly, the driver encountered a car accident while driving due to fatigue.

The huge car accident was a sensation at the time, and none of the passengers in the car was spared.

Qiao Zhisheng was extremely angry, and despite Qiao Ye's pleadings, he insisted on breaking off the brother-sister relationship with her.Even after so many years, Qiao Zhisheng refused to have any contact with his sister.

So Qiao Chuyi rarely saw her aunt.

"Is my injury serious?" Qiao Chuyi looked at the thickly wrapped left arm, the pain was unbearable, and she couldn't exert any strength at all.

Yan Xiangxiang moved a round stool and sat down, his eyes became redder: "Most of them are bruises, it doesn't matter, a slight concussion now seems to have no sequelae, but your left arm was seriously injured, and you have undergone a reduction operation. See later."

Hearing that his arm could be kept, Qiao Chuyi finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

"Xiao Qiao, there is one thing I admire you the most." Yan Xiangxiang glanced at her, his tone full of admiration.

Qiao Chuyi blurted out: "Are you beautiful?"

"positive mind."

The answer was a thousand miles away from what he had imagined, Qiao Chuyi flattened his mouth, not interested in continuing this topic.

Sheng Xi opened the bag, arranged the bowls and chopsticks, and scooped out a bowl of millet porridge. The porridge was very thick, and the fragrance permeated the room. He stirred the hot porridge with a spoon to let it cool down to a suitable temperature as soon as possible. The spoon touched the wall of the bowl. , making a crisp sound.

He comforted Yan Xiangxiang: "Little Qiaoji has his own destiny, and he will recover soon."

After staying in the hospital for a while, Qiao Chuyi finally survived until she was allowed to go home.Ever since she was injured, although Dad Qiao had taken good care of her, he had always kept a cold face and had no good looks.

Qiao Chuyi knew that she was in the wrong, so she bravely went to climb the mountain secretly, not to mention, but also chose to take the path that her father repeatedly ordered and refused to let her go. If she was not discovered in time, the consequences would be unimaginable. No wonder he would be angry.

"Dad, I've become a hero of Yang Guo. It's so pitiful. You're still angry." Qiao Chuyi slumped on the sofa and dug out a bag of potato chips from the snack cabinet. His left hand was inconvenient, so he had to hold it in his right hand. The packaging bag was torn open with teeth, but the strength was not controlled properly, and potato chips were scattered everywhere.

Father Qiao was preparing to cook fish soup in the kitchen. Hearing Qiao Chuyi's words, he snorted coldly, and the knife clanged loudly on the cutting board.Qiao Chuyi was terrified when he heard that, so he quickly poured a mouthful of potato chips to suppress his shock, and chewed the potato chips unwillingly to defend himself: "Dad, I even recited a whole poem when I was on the mountain, so I was promising gone."

The originally dark-faced Qiao's father finally shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help laughing.

Various fish soups and bone soups became indispensable on the dining table in rotation. Although Qiao's father was good at cooking, after half a month, Qiao Chuyi drank it until he frowned, and sometimes secretly shared it with the octagonal rabbit.

Ever since Qiao Chuyi was injured, the Octagonal Rabbit has lived a very nourishing life. Every time he eats, he will hug Qiao Chuyi's feet like a ball of meat, guarding his full puppy bowl, sticking out his little pink tongue to lick it. with delicious.

Life seemed to start all over again, except that her left arm had been recovering less than ideally.

At the beginning of the new semester, Qiao Chuyi can't ride a bicycle, and she doesn't want her father to pick her up every day, and her father who lives in school is even more worried, so Su Jiahe and Sheng Xi take turns to drive her to school every day.

These two buddies ride bicycles sloppily, one races the other unsteadily, wherever there are pitfalls, they will go wherever they go.After being tricked a few times, Qiao Chuyi couldn't help but said, "Tsk tsk tsk, you can't even compare to Bo Zhaoxun for things like riding a bicycle that don't depend on IQ."

Su Jiahe followed the words and asked her: "Xiao Qiao, after the boss left, there was no news. You and the boss have such a good relationship. Has he contacted you during this time?"

Qiao Chuyi thought of Bo Zhaoxun's stern eyebrows and indifferent tone, and felt sour in his heart, and smiled: "Bo Zhaoxun is glowing and glowing now, how can he still think of me, my little fish and shrimp friend."

"That's right." Su Jiahe deeply agreed with Xiaoyu Xiaoxia's words.

Qiao Chuyi pinched him angrily, and Su Jiahe's hand trembled, almost throwing her off.

Days pass by without haste and laughter, Dengxi Middle School is still the same as before, and Bo Zhaoxun is gradually not mentioned. Only the swimming competition trophy engraved with his name in the honor showroom proves that he has stayed there.

Qiao Chuyi didn't have much time to be sentimental.

She went to the hospital for reexamination twice, and the arm injury was not optimistic. From one day onwards, she found that there was something wrong with her father who was smiling all day long.

The light in the living room is always on all night. Father Joe seems to be a lot older, with black eyes and a tired face. He doesn't smoke, but recently he often lights two cigarettes in the long night, puts them on the table, and quietly watches the cigarettes go away. A little bit of scarlet slowly turned to ashes.

Dad had something on his mind, Qiao Chuyi could tell, but he couldn't figure out why after asking around several times.

Until one day, in the middle of the night, Qiao Chuyi had already turned off the light and lay down, when he suddenly heard him talking on the phone in a low voice.

Qiao Chuyi got up lightly, and opened the bedroom door with a gap, and the voice from the living room came in clearly: "The recovery is not very good... This method is possible, but it is too much trouble for you... Well, When will you pick her up? Good."

His voice was slightly hoarse, and he paused for a long time before he said, "Little Qiao, please take care of me, Qiao Ye."

He was actually talking to his aunt.

From the intermittent conversation, Qiao Chuyi roughly understood what was going on.

Qiao Chuyi's arm didn't improve significantly. There is a well-known rehabilitation center in Qinghuai. Ever since she heard the news of her injury, my aunt has mentioned several times that she should be taken to her own place so that she can be trained by a professional rehabilitation therapist. She is now doing scientific rehabilitation, and has even contacted her to help her with the admission procedures of the new school.

He was too late to respond.

Although Qiao's father was cheerful and good-natured all day long, Qiao Chuyi knew how stubborn he was, and as long as it was what he believed in, he would never change it easily.

So for so many years, he resolutely refused to have any contact with his aunt. Every time his aunt called, he hung up angrily. It seemed that only by not forgiving could he alleviate the grief of the sudden death of his parents.

But this time for her, he was able to try to let go of the knots that had been stubborn for many years, even though it was difficult.

He finally convinced himself, just for his little daughter to get healthy as soon as possible.

The hardest thing is to let go, how sad it must be in Dad's heart.

In the dark room, a beam of cold moonlight shone in, and Qiao Chuyi stood barefoot in the small piece of moonlight, clutching the doorknob tightly, the corners of her eyes were moist, and she almost shed tears.

In a person's life, many things have passed and will not look back.

Only love is not like this.

It trickles like a stream, stretches like a mountain, endlessly, throughout life.

So, please be sure to believe it.

No matter when, in this world, there must be someone who loves you deeply.

It was also on this night that Qiao Chuyi understood that fatherly love is silence, compromise, invincibility, and recklessness.

Like a mountain, but more than a mountain.

In the living room, Father Qiao hung up the phone and heaved a long sigh.

Qiao Chuyi quietly closed the door and lay down on the soft bed again.Feeling depressed, she took off the scarf of the teddy bear next to her pillow and put it on again. She repeated this dozens of times until the sky showed light before she fell asleep.

Qiao Ye was very efficient. After answering the call, she hurriedly dismissed all the recent work in her hand, and arranged everything about Qiao Chuyi, and she came to Dengxi Town to pick her up not long after.

It was the end of March, and it was raining lightly.

Qiao Ye didn't bring an assistant, but drove here from Qinghuai himself.Holding a transparent umbrella, she stood curlingly at the door, her hair was tied up in a low bun, and a few strands of hair flew up from her temples and were soaked in the fine rain. When they met each other, their eyes turned red instantly: "Brother..."

Papa Qiao nodded and patted her on the shoulder lightly.

"Auntie." Qiao Chuyi called her obediently while carrying the suitcase.

Qiao Ye put away the umbrella, bent slightly, held Qiao Chuyi's face in both hands, and said pleasantly, "Oh, our little Chuyi is so beautiful now."

At first, she didn't think so, but when she got close, Qiao Chuyi could smell the light cedar wood fragrance on her body.

Before Qiao Chuyi wanted to live with an aunt whom she had never met, Qiao Chuyi had a small drum in her heart. After hearing this sentence, Qiao Chuyi immediately fell in love with her.

Qinghuai Road is far away. In order to avoid driving at night, they can't stay for too long. After exchanging a few words, Qiao Ye took the heavy suitcase in Qiao Chuyi's hand, and promised Dad Qiao: "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of it. Intended."

"Dad, I'll be very obedient." Qiao Chuyi sat in the co-pilot's seat, poked his head out of the car window, and waved to Dad.

Father Qiao laughed, put his hands behind his back, and threatened her with a rough voice: "I told your aunt, if you don't obey, feel free to beat you up, and I agree."

Qiao Chuyi stuck out his tongue at him.

Qiao Ye also smiled: "I can't bear it."

Before leaving, Qiao Ye helped her fasten her seat belt, then turned the key and started the car.

Qiao Chuyi kept looking back until her father's figure got farther and farther away, and finally melted into a small dot in the rain and fog.

The car drove a certain distance, and when it was about to leave Dengxi Town, it passed a shallow pond. The spring rain made countless dimples in the pond. The white peach blossoms are densely pressed on the branches, falling on the clear waves with the wind.

Such a picturesque beauty has probably been hard to see for a long time.

Feeling lost is inevitable, after all, this is the first time Qiao Chuyi has left Dengxi Town and home since she grew up.

Seeing that she was depressed, Qiao Ye didn't say much. He just turned on the radio and tuned to a channel.

An old song is playing on the radio.

The melody couldn't be more familiar. Since the first time I heard it, Qiao Chuyi has heard it countless times.

The song "It seems like an old friend is coming".

Even though she still doesn't understand Cantonese, she has already memorized the lyrics by heart, and she can still hum from time to time, such as this sentence——

"When a person is young, he doesn't wake up in his dream, but he has to go back when he wakes up."

Qiao Chuyi has memorized this line for many years, and wants to go back after waking up, but where is my hometown.

The distance was long, and the car was a little stuffy. Qiao Chuyi had never been in a car for so long. He listened to the radio and leaned on the seat unhappily. After a while, he fell asleep in a daze. He didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up It was already dark.

The flashing neon lights illuminate the night, the road is full of traffic, the sound of horns can be heard endlessly, and the bustle and noise swim by, making Qiao Chuyi unable to take his eyes off it.

"We've arrived in Qinghuai. In order to welcome our baby, aunt will take you to eat delicious food." Qiao Ye's tone was lively, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. She turned to another road and drove for another 10 minutes, stopping at a shop. The entrance of the grocery store.

The storefront is quaint, with lanterns hanging on three sides under the eaves, and the colorful flags are lifted by the evening wind. It looks very stylish. Qiao Chuyi followed in step by step. It was the first time she came to this kind of place, and she looked around curiously.

The waiter politely led them into the private room partitioned by tissue paper. Qiao Ye took over the menu, asked Qiao Chu carefully what he wanted, and ordered peony shrimp, eel sushi, tempura, salmon sashimi, avocado hand roll and others Miscellaneous things, as soon as the menu was handed out, Qiao Ye thought about it and added cream soup and matcha ice cream.

"Auntie, we can't finish eating so much, and the food here looks so expensive." Qiao Chuyi carefully tugged on Qiao Ye's sleeve.

"It's okay, if we can't finish eating, let's pack it up and go back for supper." Qiao Ye stretched out her hand from across the table, and gently put it on the back of Qiao Chuyi's hand. She only felt that her aunt's fingers were slender, soft and warm, "Chuyi , from now on my home will also be your home, aunt is very good at making money, don't save for me."

Qiao Chuyi frowned, and finally joked: "Then you have to be careful, I can eat very well."

"Go ahead and eat." Qiao Ye's expression was moved, as gentle as water, "Chu Yi, thank you for being willing to come and live with me."

After eating this meal for a long time, Qiao Chuyi was no longer restrained, and slowly opened up the chatter box, talking to her about many past events, Qiao Ye also cooperated or exclaimed or clapped her hands, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Qiao Chuyi did not expect that a painter like her aunt, who held a solo exhibition in St. Petersburg at the age of 21, broke the highest transaction record for young painters when she participated in the auction for the first time. It is collected by Puli Museum of Art in Switzerland. Now 35 years old, she still looks like an innocent girl.

My aunt is a cool celibate. She is still unmarried and has been living alone for many years. Time really treats her kindly, as if she has not left any traces on her, she is still so young and good-looking.

But who would really like to be alone, Qiao Chuyi thought of what he said just now, and his heart softened a little.

It was nearly nine o'clock after dinner, Qiao Ye went to check out, and asked Qiao Chuyi to wait for her in the lobby first.

Qiao Chuyi had a full meal and was in a good mood, humming a song and walking towards the hall, holding the scarf in his hand and shaking it, when he passed a private room, he suddenly threw a porcelain plate from it, which coincidentally shattered on the ground. At Qiao Chuyi's feet, the sharp cracking sound scared her into a daze.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes rushed out and bowed to Qiao Chuyi: "I'm sorry, are you not hurt?"

"No, no." Qiao Chuyi was at a loss by the thoughtful etiquette of the man in the suit.

"Could it be that I've become disabled, and I can't even decide where to eat?" After dropping a plate, there was another roar in the box.

The man in the suit stood at the door of the box, and said seriously: "What you mean, sir, is that you are not suitable for walking around now, and you have already changed twelve places to eat today without eating."

The implication is, Young Master Zhou, you are not wanting to eat, but just teasing me.

"Did my dad mention me?" The person inside pondered for a while, seemingly unintentionally asking.

It was too much trouble, Qiao Chuyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The box was completely quiet. After a while, the sound of thumping on the wooden floor came from far to near. Qiao Chuyi was about to slip away, but before he took a few steps, he was suddenly stopped: "Hey, what did you just do?" What are you laughing at?"

She turned her head and met the boy's impatient eyes.

His eyebrows are thick and long, his eyes are clean and clear, but he exudes a dandy look all over his body. At first glance, he looks like a young man who grew up in a wealthy family. If there is something that stands out, it is probably the crutch in his right hand.

Young and good-looking but not good at acting, people can't help but feel a little regretful.

Qiao Chu pointed at him generously: "I'm laughing at you."

He didn't expect her to be so upright, rubbed his crutches, put away his impatient expression, slightly moved his brows, and looked at her with a half-smile: "What are you laughing at me for?"

"Laugh at you for being so old, and still using such a naive way to gain attention." Qiao Chuyi looked familiar, she was very familiar with this kind of routine, and she had done similar things since she was a child.

He changed twelve places without eating anything. If he didn't want to get someone's attention, then he must have something wrong with his brain.

He wanted to say something else, but Qiao Ye, who had waited in the hall for a long time but hadn't seen Qiao Chuyi's figure, came to him. She put one arm around Qiao Chuyi's shoulder, and turned her eyes to see him, a little surprised: "Chi Shen ?" Zhou Chishen put aside his arrogance just now, and politely greeted Qiao Ye: "Mr. Qiao."

"How's your leg? You haven't come to my studio recently, have you insisted on rehabilitating?" Qiao Ye asked concerned.

Zhou Chishen nodded: "I'm recovering."

"But I haven't been there for half a month." The man in the suit stood upright, looking for an opportunity to interject.

Zhou Chi took a deep look at him.

"That's right. We were injured a while ago and haven't healed yet. I made an appointment with a doctor to help her recover. I'm in the same sanitation center as you. Help me take good care of my little girl in the future." Qiao Ye's tone is brisk.

"Okay." He glanced at Qiao Chuyi lightly.

On the way home, Qiao Chuyi was tormented by curiosity and was restless. She always thought of Zhou Chishen's inflexible leg, and couldn't help asking her aunt.

Qiao Ye has stayed in Qinghuai for a long time, and knows a little about the situation of the Zhou family. In fact, most people in Qinghuai are familiar with the powerful Zhou family. They started their business in real estate, and their chain hotels spread all over the country, and their business is doing well. It's booming.

It's just that the family is not so happy. The current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Baishan, has two sons. The youngest son Zhou Chishen is not a good-for-nothing, and the eldest son Zhou Chiyuan can be regarded as a good one. She took good care of herself, but last year, Zhou Chiyuan suddenly left everything behind and went abroad for love.

Zhou Baishan was furious, and threatened to treat Zhou Chiyuan as his son, so he could only pin all his hopes on Zhou Chishen.

Zhou Chishen has been used to being unrestrained since he was a child, playing around with a group of cronies all day long, no one can control him, this kind of temper finally made him suffer.

A few months ago, he was drag racing with his friends. He had an accident and injured his right leg. He refused to recover properly. Although his lameness was not serious, he still had to rely on crutches to walk.

"Chi Shen, he is rebellious and unruly, so the Zhou family sent him to me to learn painting, in order to sharpen his temper." Qiao Ye parked the car, took Qiao Chuyi's hand and led her to wait for the elevator, helplessly He added, "But he doesn't like to come to my place either, no one can do anything about him."

It was late, and they were the only ones waiting for the elevator. Qiao Ye needed to be absolutely quiet when working, so the apartment was bought on the top floor, and there were only two opposite residents on the whole floor.

Qiao Ye opened the door and turned on the light, and put the keys on the cabinet casually. Qiao Chuyi followed in, put on the cotton slippers that her aunt had arranged for her, and stood in the living room somewhat restrainedly, putting her feet on tiptoes and putting them down, looking down at the slippers The bunny ears on his head flicked, and the suitcase was placed at his feet.

At this moment, Qiao Chuyi heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside, step by step unhurriedly, then, the lock on the opposite door was turned, and then the door was closed.

Qiao Ye also heard the movement, leaned close to the cat's eye to observe the opposite side carefully, and said in amazement: "The little boy who lives alone in the opposite door came back today for the first time, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

Withdrawing her probing gaze, she turned back and told Qiao Chuyi: "Chuyi, if you have nothing to do, go to the opposite door more often and breathe the air there."

Qiao Chuyi was puzzled: "Why? Could it be that Feng Shui is better over there?"

"That's the air that a genius has breathed, Dabu." Qiao Ye replied as a matter of course, "It's not the kind that is smart, won the championship of the International Mental Arithmetic Competition, and is followed and reported by everyone."

My aunt is worthy of being a famous painter, her imagination... is also quite strange.

"I never read the news reports."

"I'll show you a real person if I have a chance. I'll introduce you to me when I meet you some other day." Qiao Ye turned on all the lights in the living room, and the bright lights poured down from all directions. Looking back and smiling, "The most important thing is to stand out from the crowd."

There is also a "stop pretending, I know you little girls will love this one" expression on his face.

"..."

At 10:30, Qiao Ye usually gets inspired at night. Today she is in a good mood, and every cell in her body is clamoring to create. She changed into home clothes, took Qiao Chuyi to visit the house briefly, told her to go to bed early, and then He found a brown apron from the kitchen, put it on and went to the studio.

Qiao Chuyi returned to her bedroom, arranged the things in the suitcase one by one, put them in the wardrobe and on the desk, and took a comfortable hot bath.There was a long, soft, thick carpet on the floor, and she stepped on it with her bare feet as if stepping into a cloud.

The room was decorated in a gentle and refreshing girlish style, and every object was carefully thought out. The bed was covered with floral quilts and pink lace sheets. Qiao Chuyi turned on the bedside lamp and turned it to the darkest brightness.She put half of the quilt on her body, sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, hugged her knees blankly and thought, this is probably the closest time since the farewell to her and Bo Zhaoxun.

Sometimes people are really strange, even though they have determined in their hearts countless times that they are worse than strangers, they always miss him the most in the dead of night, even if they can get closer, they will feel a slight sense of satisfaction.

Qiao Chuyi's life in Qinghuai gradually stabilized. Except for the occasional homesickness, everything else was fine.

Although he had to change cars several times along the way, Dad Qiao still came here from Dengxi to see her once, and even drove his aunt out of the kitchen who would not help her if she didn't touch the spring water, and cooked all the dishes by herself Table full of food.

The two adults sat opposite each other, drank three glasses of wine, cried and laughed, and talked calmly. After all, years of resentment were no match for the kinship of flesh and blood, and the past was like smoke.

It seems that with the continuous spring, everything is getting better.

Time passed quickly, Qiao Ye was afraid that she would not be able to keep up with the class, so she specially invited a tutor to help her with her homework. Focus on Qinghuai No. [-] Middle School.

Under the guidance of a professional rehabilitation therapist, Qiao Chuyi's injured left arm also recovered.

It seemed that everything was going in a good direction, the only unexpected thing was that she and Zhou Chishen gradually got to know each other.

It is said that Zhou Chishen has a weird temper, and he can't see the end all day long. He not only refuses to recover, but also doesn't want to come to Qiao Ye's studio, but Qiao Chuyi thinks that the rumors are all false rumors. After seeing him once in the store, it's like hitting an evil, and I can always run into him.

Needless to say, I saw him often in the nursing center. Every Saturday night, Zhou Chishen would report to his aunt's house on time. Usually, Qiao Ye would invite him for dinner after the classes were over.

Auntie's hospitality is as simple as a touch of upper and lower lips, and she is not the one who does the hard work. Qiao Chuyi slandered her. In order to live a healthier life with her aunt, her cooking skills seem to have gone to New Oriental for further training during this period of time, and her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

After blanching the broccoli and putting it on a plate, Qiao Chuyi lowered his head and was busy arranging the mushrooms. The faucet was running, and Zhou Chishen's voice came from behind: "Do you need help?"

Qiao Chuyi didn't look back, and opened his mouth to direct him: "Yes, wash two green onions in the green basket on the left, thank you."

Zhou Chishen was just being polite. According to the standard procedure, shouldn't she politely decline and say that she can be alone?

His eyes changed slightly, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. According to Qiao Chuyi's instructions, he cleaned up the two green onions and handed them to her.

The dinner is served, the dishes are simple, fragrant mushroom sausage rice with stir-fried vegetarian broccoli, and Qiao Ye drinks half a glass of red wine intoxicated...

Zhou Chishen never talked very much, and his movements were unhurried and unhurried when eating, and he looked very refined and cultivated.

Qiao Chuyi hurriedly sat down.

The Little Ladies Class has started!

She was sitting next to Zhou Chishen, at an arm's length away, calmly peeking at him out of the corner of her eye.

Since she was a child, Da Qiao Chuyi has never been trained to look like a lady. It was okay before, and there is no harm if there is no comparison. But since she came to Qinghuai, her self-esteem has grown. Seeing Zhou Chishen eating so elegantly and beautifully, she finally admitted it with difficulty. I am a girl in vain, and my life is too rough, so I can't change it.

After this idea came up, Qiao Chuyi always secretly observed Zhou Chishen's movements, imitating him in holding chopsticks and spoons, and even imitated the frequency of eating. When Zhou Chishen took a bite, she immediately put it into her mouth. Give me a bite.

Qiao Ye had a good drink this time, and when he was in a good mood, his eyes brightened a lot. He immediately saw some tricks and asked sharply, "Why do you two eat like looking in a mirror?"

"Probably because of a mutual understanding." Zhou Chishen seemed to have noticed it a long time ago. He glanced at Qiao Chuyi, and she guiltily put the fried rice into her mouth, not daring to raise her head. His eyes shone brightly, with a gentle smile, "She You're not imitating me."

Being caught in the face, Qiao Chuyi clearly heard that her dream of becoming a lady was shattered...

Waiting sullenly until the end of dinner, Qiao Ye stayed in the studio as usual. Not long after, someone came to pick Zhou Chishen back. Qiao Chuyi sent him out, said "goodbye" perfunctorily, and was about to close the door, but was suddenly caught by him in the middle of it. Resisting, he asked, "Are you still going to the sanatorium this Saturday?"

"Go." Qiao Chuyi was slightly taken aback, "What's wrong?"

Although she has recovered, she still insists on reporting to the nursing center every week and doing volunteer work there.

"That's good." There was no emotion in Zhou Chishen's words, he immediately let go of his hand and held the crutch, and the sound of knocking on the ground gradually faded away.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Chuyi yawned and closed the door.

Unexpectedly, there were unexpected twists and turns in the volunteer trip on Saturday.

The most direct reason for Qiao Chuyi to stay in the nursing center as a volunteer is an eight-year-old boy named Dongdong.Dongdong is very well-behaved, with a tiger head and a tiger head. It is a pity that he suffers from Down's syndrome. Dongdong's mother works as a nurse in this nursing center and always takes him by her side.

Before coming here for rehabilitation, Dongdong's mother gave Qiao Chuyi a lot of help. She has a lively personality, loves to talk and laugh, and is very good at making children happy. Dongdong likes to stick to her very much.

Recently, Qiao Chuyi heard that Dongdong was a picky eater and didn't like to eat vegetables. He was in a special situation and couldn't reason with him like a normal child, let alone reprimand him.After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to do something different. She carved carrots into roses, served them with boiled green beans, and made rice, tomatoes, and spinach into cartoon characters. The dish was colorful and he would definitely like it.

With an idea, the next step is to practice the craft.

The courtyard of the sanitation center is very large, paved with checkered red bricks, with verdant green plants everywhere. Qiao Chuyi sat down in a pavilion and practiced carving flowers with carrots with a carving knife.

What Zhou Chishen saw was Qiao Chuyi like this.

She has grown a little taller, because she has lost a lot of weight due to lingering injuries before. She is wearing a water-blue dress, revealing a white and slender arm. The small half of her face is bathed in the sun, her eyelashes are drooping, and her long hair is draped over her shoulders. Gentle and beautiful.

But soon, Zhou Chishen frowned, he saw a "fly" he had known before walking past.

The man wearing the big gold chain came to Qiao Chuyi's side, and said in a subdued tone, "This radish is really beautifully carved, and it's ingenious, but it's still not as good-looking as my sister."

Qiao Chuyi's hand holding the knife paused, and carefully looked at the scattered radish flowers in the small pot, thinking that some people would go blind at a young age.

Qiao Chuyi turned a deaf ear to his approach, without raising his eyelids, and continued to study how to carve the carrot into a decent outline.

Jin Lianzi has never had a bad nose like today. He followed his father's order to visit the nursing center. He happened to see Qiao Chuyi, and it wasn't because of any wrong thoughts. A few words to pass the time.

He was unyielding, chuckled dryly, and wanted to strike up a conversation, when he heard someone call his name indifferently: "Zhong Yan."

He followed the sound and turned his head, and saw Zhou Chishen standing there not too far away, with an indifferent expression.

Looking at each other for a few seconds, Zhong Yan slowly lost the hippie smile he had just had.

He and Zhou Chishen met each other on a narrow road, with a fire in his heart, and smiled contemptuously: "Who am I? It turns out to be the young master of the Zhou family. He came out with a lame leg. I advise you to take care of yourself, after all No more than normal people."

These words were so harsh that Qiao Chuyi subconsciously looked at Zhou Chishen, only to see every inch of ice in his eyes.

The Zhong family and the Zhou family are rivals in business, and Zhong Yan once stumbled at the hands of Zhou Chiyuan, and he has a deep grudge against the Zhou family brothers. It was hard for him to grasp this story that could touch Zhou Chishen's pain, of course he I have to say it happily to relieve my anger.

At the end, Zhong Yan swaggered up to Zhou Chishen and deliberately pushed him.

It was difficult for Zhou Chishen to maintain his balance when he was standing, and he almost fell on his back when he was pushed like this. Fortunately, Qiao Chuyi, who was standing beside him, grabbed his arm and stabilized him.

Talking and fighting, now Qiao Chuyi couldn't stand by and watch.

"Don't stop me, my dad has taught me martial arts for more than ten years, just to let me do justice for the sky today." Qiao Chuyi said it like a heroine in a movie, then faced Zhong Yan, took a deep breath, and posed a big The movement of Peng spreading its wings.

Zhong Yan made up his mind that Zhou Chishen must make a fool of himself today, and it would be best to take a few more pictures of his embarrassment and advertise it in the circle for him.

Before getting close, I saw Qiao Chuyi expressionlessly posing for a sparring fight. Not to mention, the fluttering clothes really looked like a master.

Zhong Yan thought it was funny: "Sister, you think this is a TV show, and you want to scare me based on this? I grew up on the courage."

"Let me give you one hand." Qiao Chuyi ignored his words, and put his left hand behind his back, with a more solemn expression, "Come on."

"Then don't blame me for being merciless."

Zhong Yan was used to being domineering and domineering, and he didn't pay attention to Qiao Chuyi's bluff at all, and in his opinion, even the most celestial sister, as long as she stood by Zhou Chishen, she would be as black as crows.

Zhou Chishen saw the unkindness in Zhong Yan's eyes, and pulled Qiao Chuyi behind him.

Zhong Yan was aggressive: "Sister, don't you want to do something? Come on." Just as he was speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab Qiao Chuyi in front of him.

Seeing that the other party was about to come for real, the paper tiger Qiao Chuyi completely extinguished his arrogance, shrank his head and hid behind Zhou Chishen.

It's just that Zhong Yan's hand was halfway out when he was grabbed by the wrist: "Who are you fighting with?"

Immediately afterwards, the man asked, "Who is your sister?"

A sentence is colder than a sentence.

Qiao Chuyi quietly showed her head to see who was the hero saving the beauty.

With black hair, thick eyebrows, and an incomparably handsome face, his expression was as cold as ice at the moment, and Zhong Yan's hand was clamped so that he could not move with a bitter face.

It's not that I didn't expect to meet again one day, but I never thought that the reunion would come so unexpectedly.

Qiao Chuyi was no longer afraid, and walked around Zhou Chishen's back, approached him in a mysterious way, and called him in a low voice: "Bo Zhaoxun."

Bo Zhaoxun threw away his hand, and spat out a cold syllable at Zhong Yan: "Get lost."

Zhong Yan was alone and weak, no matter how arrogant he was, he would not dare to fight three with one. Besides, this strong man who had killed halfway did not look easy. He held his wrist, and he could clearly see a circle of bruises on his wrist.

Zhong Yan cursed and rolled away mellowly.

Bo Zhaoxun didn't even give Qiao Chuyi a look, and walked towards the gate of the nursing home.

Qiao Chuyi didn't care about what to say to Zhou Chishen, grabbed her backpack, and hurriedly followed behind Bo Zhaoxun.He has long legs and walks fast, she trotted after him: "Bo Zhaoxun, hey, Bo Zhaoxun, wait for me."

Bo Zhaoxun suddenly remembered his days in Dengxi Town.

He has just arrived at Dengxi Middle School, and although he often eats at Qiao's house, he is not very familiar with Qiao Chuyi.

He is used to being alone, reticent, and doesn't like people who talk too much, but she is a chatterbox and likes to tease him. When he meets her by chance outside Qiao's house, he often pretends to ignore her and walks in a hurry.

Qiao Chuyi has no eyesight at all, and whenever she sees him, she always follows him, calling his name loudly on purpose: "Bo Zhaoxun, Bo Zhaoxun!"

A high-pitched sound, often passers-by will cast strange eyes on them.

Under pressure, he could only slow down and wait for her to catch up.

"Bo Zhaoxun, why didn't you wait for me." She ran up to Bo Zhaoxun, facing him, and walked backwards, a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, she looked at him with moist eyes, the pupils were brightly illuminated by the sun .

"Excuse me, who are you, why should I wait for you?" Bo Zhaoxun asked indifferently.

She didn't feel that his words were blunt at all, but said happily, "I'm Xiao Qiao."

Qiao Chuyi is very fond of laughing, her eyebrows are like crescent moons, and her laughter is clear and clear, like a melodious warbler's cry.

Bo Zhaoxun was speechless for a moment, lowered his head, and smiled imperceptibly.

After a while, he raised his head, and returned to his cold-eyed look, stretching out his hand to pull her to his side: "Walk well."

I can't help it, I can't get angry, the more I talk, the more likable I feel.
