Chapter 7 Drinking Bitter Wine and Rivers

Chapter 7 Drinking Bitter Wine and Rivers
Others thought that Bo Zhaoxun just lost a game, but Qiao Chuyi knew that what he lost was actually a life.

This trip to Shanghai will take four days, and Qiao Chuyi thought for a long time before coming up with a convincing reason, and happily went to the head teacher to ask for leave.

During the exercise between classes, Qiao Chuyi first asked the class monitor for sick leave, and then pretended to read a few pages in the classroom. When the usually lively corridor became empty, she sneaked at the door of the office and looked inside. took a look.

Teacher Li, the homeroom teacher, is a middle-aged woman in her 40s. Her piercing eyes are hidden behind thick lenses. She is usually serious and dignified. The students are afraid of her.

Now, Teacher Li is the only one in the office, correcting homework. Qiao Chuyi walked over with small steps and cleared his hoarse voice: "Teacher, I would like to ask for two days off."

Before Qiao Chuyi explained the reason for her leave of absence, which she had memorized a hundred times, Teacher Li raised her head and spoke softly: "Go to the competition with Bo Zhaoxun, right? Classmate Bo came to see me yesterday. You can ask for leave, but After you come back, you must make up the homework that you missed, after all, the exam is about to take place, so don’t take it lightly.”

What?Qiao Chuyi's eyes widened in shock, Bo Zhaoxun actually helped her ask for leave, why didn't she know? !

You must know that she has repeatedly considered the excuse of taking a cold as an excuse to ask for leave. In order to hide it from Teacher Li, she took great pains. Not only did she open the window and freeze herself overnight, but she also washed her hair with cold water in the morning and blew against the wind for a long time before finally feeling that her nose was stuffy. Sore throat, full of symptoms of a cold.

Everything is ready, but the east wind has not come.

Bo Zhaoxun actually played his cards so unreasonably, quietly asked for leave, and didn't inform her in advance.

"Qiao Chuyi," Teacher Li sighed quietly, "I heard from other teachers that Bo Zhaoxun has not been in good form in the last few mock games, but he is the number one seed that our school places high hopes on. Pay more attention to him and guide him more.”

Qiao Chuyi's three views were almost shattered, her right hand rested on the table, her lips trembled twice, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

No wonder Mr. Li didn't pay any attention to the matter of her going to the competition with Bo Zhaoxun. It turned out that he had prepared for it a long time ago, and she transformed into Classmate Bo's cousin.

"Teacher Li, don't worry." Qiao Chuyi quickly adjusted her state, and promised firmly, "I will definitely enlighten my big cousin."

Teacher Li was very satisfied, and waved her hand: "You sound like you have a cold, drink more hot water."

Qiao Chuyi was touched by the warm care from the Great Demon King, when Teacher Li said again: "It doesn't matter if your nose runs for a few days, but remember, you must not infect Bo Zhaoxun."

"……understood."

Bo Zhaoxun had already booked a ticket to Shanghai, but Qiao Chuyi didn't want to, so he clamored to take the train and specified that he had to take a hard seat.

In her cognition, only the train can represent a long journey.

Just thinking about it, it seems that you can hear the very rhythmic bang bang sound of the train running on the rails, and every second is lengthened, just like the scene in an old movie - the train in the dark night Walking through, the two people are very close, through the window, you can see the light outside the car window, the lights of every house are near, and the stars are far away.

"You'd better put away those literary ideas in your head." The night before his departure, Bo Zhaoxun was packing his suitcase. While checking the items on the list, he didn't forget to pour cold water on Qiao Chuyi, who was full of expectations, " Eight hours of hard seats, as long as you have sat once, you definitely don’t want to do it again.”

"Hmph, look down on people! Do I look like the kind of person who can't bear hardships?" Qiao Chuyi sat cross-legged on the ground, put a cherry in his mouth, and glanced at him, "Besides, life is endless, literature and art are endless, What do you know."

The floor tiles in the living room are light white, fresh and refreshing, and it looks cool. Bo Zhaoxun walked to Qiao Chuyi's side and kicked her lightly: "What does it look like? Sit on the sofa."

"Got it, got it." Qiao Chuyi's tone was full of impatience, but she obeyed obediently.She held up the fruit plate full of cherries in one hand, put the other hand on the ground, and slid back a certain distance until her back touched the sofa, then she slowly got up and sat on it, and conveniently put the cherries that had been spread on the ground The two maps were also dragged onto the sofa.

"Eat less cherries, if you get angry and have a nosebleed, I will mistakenly think that you have something in mind for me." "Bo Zhaoxun, you are so annoying!"

Qiao Chuyi stuffed two more cherries into his mouth, then put the fruit plate on the tea table, wiped his hands with a paper towel, lay there and studied the map carefully, chanting words.

"It's such a short distance to Shanghai and you still need to see a map of China?" Bo Zhaoxun stood next to her condescendingly, and glanced at her.

Qiao Chuyi rested her chin and sighed: "For a little frog in a well like me, I only feel that the whole world is in my hands when I look at the map."

Bo Zhaoxun pointed to the world map: "Is there any place you want to go?"

Asked by him, Qiao Chuyi really thought about it seriously, and pointed to the east coast of the Atlantic Ocean: "I want to go to England and experience the temperate marine climate that is mild and humid all year round."

With a smile in his eyes, Bo Zhaoxun praised her: "You're good at geography, keep up the good work."

Qiao Chuyi: "According to the normal development of the story, shouldn't you tell me now, 'When I make a lot of money in the future, I will definitely take you away'?"

After counting the things, Bo Zhaoxun locked the suitcase and said leisurely, "Sorry, I didn't have that idea."

Qiao Chuyi sighed, beat the sofa and accused him of "If you are rich, you will forget each other".

The train was at ten o'clock in the evening, and Qiao Ye still remembered this in his busy schedule, and he did not forget to arrange for his assistant to take them to the train station.

Qinghuai North Station is a small station. Even though it was night, there were still many people waiting for the bus. Qiao Chuyi followed Bo Zhaoxun to pick up the tickets. It was five or ten minutes before the ticket inspection. They found an empty seat and sat down to wait for the bus.

The station was a bit noisy, and the smell of instant noodles wafted in the air from time to time. Qiao Chuyi leaned over to Bo Zhaoxun's side and whispered, "Spicy beef flavor." Then, he added, "I really like it, if I can eat it now I could literally cry."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the 24-hour convenience supermarket not far away.

Bo Zhaoxun immediately understood what she meant, and looked at her unhurriedly: "Then you should save your tears, don't even think about unhealthy food like instant noodles, but you can go and smell it, I won't stop you .”

He is simply a walking guide to health regimen. He is unhealthy and unhealthy all day long. It's really boring.

Qiao Chuyi didn't speak, and the toes rubbed against the two suitcases side by side.

Those were two suitcases of the same style that Bo Zhaoxun bought together some time ago, except that hers was cherry blossom pink, his was silver-gray, they were close together, and there was a card hanging on the handle, on which he wrote their names and mobile phones Number.

His handwriting is like a person, his handwriting is very beautiful, and his handwriting is chic and elegant from beginning to end.

It is said that the Creator is fair, Qiao Chuyi thought about himself, and then looked at Bo Zhaoxun, he couldn't believe a single word of this sentence.

While waiting for the bus, Bo Zhaoxun kept his eyes closed, and Qiao Chuyi could see the faint tiredness on his face.She knew that Bo Zhaoxun had expended a lot of energy for this competition, and the last few days had been even more intensively arranged. He had to complete thousands of practice questions every day, and vowed to come out on top, so as to live the life he wanted.

She remembered Teacher Li's words again, that for some reason, Bo Zhaoxun's performance in the last few simulation games was average.

Qiao Chuyi prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this trip to Shanghai would make his wish come true.

Not long after, he queued up to check the ticket and got on the train. This was Qiao Chuyi's first time taking a train. He couldn't help being curious, and couldn't help but look left and right after walking a few steps.Bo Zhaoxun walked in front, fearing that she would be squeezed out, so he grabbed Qiao Chuyi's wrist through his coat and asked her to follow him closely.

The aisle was not too spacious, and there were piles of luggage in some places. Bo Zhaoxun walked very slowly. He found a seat first, then put the suitcase away, and then motioned her to sit in the innermost seat by the window.

At first, Qiao Chuyi pointed out the window, poked him from time to time, and invited him to enjoy the night view outside the car. He would be happy for a long time when he saw a bridge, but once the excitement was over, and the cold hadn’t healed yet, The exhaustion from the long journey gradually appeared.

In the middle of the night, the carriage was still boiling, and the chatter of hip-hop chatter was endless. A few people were playing poker not far away, and the faint smell of tobacco flooded into the nostrils. Stick it on the window.

"It's so boring, Bo Zhaoxun, I'm so tired, my back hurts." Qiao Chuyi said weakly, her nose was a bit blocked, and she spoke in a low voice.

Bo Zhaoxun was flipping through his notes, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, giving him a more refined and bookish air. Hearing Qiao Chuyi's complaint, he got up and took a cup of hot water, and handed it to her: "Take medicine to sleep, wake up. Come and stop."

Qiao Chuyi said that she was not sleepy, and that she must accompany him to read a few more pages of information, but after taking cold medicine, she yawned profusely after a while, and fell asleep on the seat tilted.

The night was dark, the voices of people in the car gradually became quieter, and the silence slowly spread.

After turning over the last page, Bo Zhaoxun took off his glasses. The lights in the car were dim, and his eyes were a little sore after a long time.

He closed his eyes, then opened them again, his gaze involuntarily focused on Qiao Chuyi beside him.

She was already asleep, breathing evenly, her cheeks were lightly pink, and her slender eyelashes were down, casting a small shadow on her eyelids.

Unable to hide his childishness, Bo Zhaoxun looked at that face carefully. Among the girls he had seen, she was the most special.

Clear and transparent, as if you can see the bottom at a glance, emotions are written on the face, justice, kindness, like a warm little sun, can always infect others with her happiness.

As long as I stay with her, I seem to be happy every second, even the occasional little temper is not annoying.

Bo Zhaoxun pinned a strand of Qiao Chuyi's loose hair behind her ear, found a cashmere scarf, folded it in half from left to right, folded it into a square piece, gently wrapped her shoulders, and put the scarf behind her shoulders .

With the soft scarf on it, Qiao Chuyi was obviously much more comfortable. She dazedly changed her position and continued to lie down, still sleeping unconscious.

There was only a small space in the seat, and she couldn't stretch it out. Not long after, she tilted her head, leaned on Bo Zhaoxun's shoulder, rubbed against her, and fell into a deeper sleep.

Qiao Chuyi's warm breath seemed to be right next to her ears, clearly discernible, and Bo Zhaoxun's back immediately stiffened, and he didn't dare to move, for fear of waking her up.

The two were so close, listening to her soft breathing, Bo Zhaoxun felt that there was a large reed in his heart, and the breeze was blowing, both peaceful and swaying.

With the weight on his shoulders and fear of waking her up, he couldn't sleep well. He just closed his eyes a little, and it was dawn.

When dawn came, the sun painted a layer of white light on the outside of the window, and the leaves of several lush trees were very close together, and a little bit of green seemed to splash on the glass.

Bo Zhaoxun was fascinated by the scenery outside the window, and the little girl opposite also woke up.

Sitting opposite them was a father and daughter. The girl looked five or six years old, and was held in his arms by her father all the way.From the simple conversation yesterday, Bo Zhaoxun learned that they were going to visit relatives in Shanghai, and the little girl's mother had a temporary work arrangement, so she couldn't go with her.

The young father seemed to be inexperienced in raising children, and it was somewhat difficult to take his daughter out alone. He didn't go to bed until very late yesterday. At this moment, the eyes of the well-slept child were blinking, and the father was still asleep.

The little girl was probably hungry, she shook her father's arm and hummed softly, but did not get the expected response.

The neglected little girl flattened her mouth in grievance, tears came as soon as she said it, and she was about to cry.

"Hush." ​​Bo Zhaoxun raised his right hand to cover Qiao Chuyi's ear, pressed his index finger to his lips, made a silent gesture to the little girl, pointed at Qiao Chuyi, and whispered, "Don't cry, my sister is sick." ,still sleeping."

The good-looking and gentle brother immediately attracted the little girl's attention. Her two tears were still hanging on her eyelashes, but she quickly stopped talking, rolled her eyeballs, and smiled crookedly, following Bo Zhaoxun's example, He also raised his fingers, pouted his small mouth and let out a soft hiss.

The little girl has a round apple face, big blinking eyes, very clever and cute, Bo Zhaoxun wiped the teardrops from her eyelashes, and gave her a piece of chocolate.

Qiao Chuyi, who was dizzy from sleep, woke up leisurely, and asked blankly, "Are you there yet?"

"There are still 15 minutes." Bo Zhaoxun looked at the time.

Qiao Chuyi raised her hand to tie up her messy hair again.

Bo Zhaoxun's left arm was completely numb from the pillow, and he couldn't move it. Qiao Chuyi noticed that his expression was wrong, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with the arm? Can't move it? Let me tell you, Bo Zhaoxun, strokes are often sudden. Don't always Wearing so little in order to look handsome."

While rambling, she helped him massage his arm.

Bo Zhaoxun had no choice but to ask, "Can you wish me a treat?"

The little girl on the opposite side was nibbling on chocolate, her eyes flicked between the two of them, squinting and smiling.

Not long after, the train arrived at the station, the voice of the conductor's announcement was drowned in the noise, and people got off the train like a tide.

Qiao Chuyi couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north, so she followed Bo Zhaoxun closely.

The cool wind rushed towards them, and what greeted them was the light rain in Shanghai.

Before leaving the station, Bo Zhaoxun estimated the rain and reminded her: "Take out your umbrella."

Qiao Chuyi was eager to get out of the rain when he heard this and asked in surprise, "What umbrella?"

"The umbrella I asked you to put in your bag the day before yesterday, didn't the weather forecast say it would rain today?" Bo Zhaoxun raised his eyebrows sharply, "Qiao Chuyi, I even packed the suitcase for you. Just arranged for you, don't tell me you forgot."

The day before yesterday, Qiao Chuyi carefully recalled that she was immersed in the chivalrous and tender TV series and couldn't extricate herself from it. She heard him answering casually twice, but she couldn't hear what he said clearly.

Thinking of this, she timidly took two steps back, didn't speak, just looked at him innocently.

Well, looking at this expression, everything is clear.

"We can run for a while in the rain, it's just drizzle anyway," Qiao Chuyi plausibly said, "It's not uncommon to have someone who holds an umbrella with you, it's rare that someone is willing to accompany you in the rain, and I, Qiao Chuyi , is such a rare person.”

"you win."

Qiao Chuyi took it as his acquiescence, and immediately made a gesture to rush into the rain, but was dragged back by Bo Zhaoxun.

The weather was gloomy, dark clouds piled up, and the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of gray. Bo Zhaoxun patiently buttoned her coat button one by one, and put on her hat again.Qiao Chuyi was stunned for a moment, then reciprocated with a smile, stood on tiptoe, and pulled the hood of his coat back on him.

There was a light in her eyes: "Bo Zhaoxun, are you ready? I'm going to take you off."

Bo Zhaoxun has only one sentence: "Run slowly, if you fall down in the street, I will just pretend that I don't know you."

The drizzle was like silver threads, moistening things silently, and there were few pedestrians on the road. Qiao Chuyi shrunk her shoulders and ran all the way, while Bo Zhaoxun followed her, the rain fell on her face like cow hair, soft.Obviously their behavior was childish, but he suddenly felt relieved.

Perhaps, the most beautiful thing is not the scenery, but the people who watched the scenery with you at that time, the most unique.

After running for a few hundred meters, Bo Zhaoxun saw an empty car, and he waved to stop it. Qiao Chuyi, a literary and artistic girl who likes to get wet in the rain, was like a wild roe deer having fun, and it took him a lot of effort to push her into the car.

Soon they arrived at the hotel that had been booked in advance. The competition organizing committee contracted the accommodation, and the specifications were acceptable. Most of the contestants settled here.

Bo Zhaoxun helped her book a room opposite him. After a long journey, the two of them had no appetite for food. Bo Zhaoxun found out cold medicine and asked her to take it. After each showered and changed into clean clothes, they wrapped themselves in quilts in the room. Sleepy head.

The mobile phone was placed on the bedside, buzzing and vibrating twice, Qiao Chuyi reluctantly opened his sleepy eyes, and saw the message from Zhou Chishen: "Little Qiao, where are you?"

She suppressed her drowsiness, narrowed her eyes, and replied to him: "Shanghai."

It took a full minute before his message came: "With Bo Zhaoxun?"

Qiao Chuyi typed the word "um" and sent it.

The phone fell silent and no more messages were received.

Since the last farewell at the sanatorium, she hadn't seen Zhou Chishen for a while, and she didn't know what he was up to recently.

Persisting for less than 2 minutes, sleepiness overcame thinking, Qiao Chuyi didn't have the energy to think about something, and went to meet Zhou Gong freely again.

It was past noon when I woke up again, it was clear outside, the sun was faint after the rain, and the world had been washed, which always made people feel that there was a layer of water vapor.

Bo Zhaoxun, dressed in sports attire, knocked on her door: "Qiao Chuyi, don't sleep, go eat." Qiao Chuyi, who had slept enough, got up energetically, tidied up briefly, and went out with Bo Zhaoxun.In order to save time and allow him to concentrate on preparing for the competition, she originally wanted to make do with the hotel restaurant, but he refused, insisting that the hotel food was unpalatable and he must take her out to eat.

Bo Zhaoxun has great powers, so he didn't know where to get a bicycle in such a short time.He stepped up with long legs, turned his head and patted the back seat: "Come up, come out after a long time, and take you for a stroll."

Qiao Chuyi sat up and quietly grabbed the clothes on both sides of his waist.

The car was neither fast nor slow, and the wheels rolled on the road in circles. Their clothes were blown up by the wind, and they were stained with the breath of autumn.

It’s like going back to the time when he was in Dengxi Town, he drove her through the streets and alleys, the shadows of people, the moonlight on the ground, the tiny light wrapped in the sound of insects and rolling on the wheels, no matter how many times I recalled it, I would never forget her. People are intoxicated.

The bicycle turns to a tree-lined path, the trunks on both sides are slightly inclined, and the lush tree crowns are interlaced to form a net. The sun burns the thin clouds into a golden piece, the wind blows the branches, and the rustling of the leaves falls on the top of the head.

For some reason, she already had a strange premonition in her heart at that time, she was always worried that the game would not go well, so she suppressed her uneasiness and said, "Bo Zhaoxun, no matter what the result of the game the day after tomorrow is, in my heart, you Always the best."

Bo Zhaoxun smiled: "Don't believe me?"

There seems to be arrogance in the tone.

Qiao Chuyi said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe you, but I'm afraid that you are too persistent. Bo Zhaoxun, persistence is a good thing, but if you are too persistent, you will not get what you want."

Bo Zhaoxun seemed to think seriously for a few seconds, and his tone was full of determination and enthusiasm: "Then I must get it."

A certain part of life always seems to be like this.

Young people don't know worries, and they will never look back when they go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire just because they are full of courage.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it. I was young and enthusiastic.

After walking for a while, Bo Zhaoxun took her into an inconspicuous small shop in an alley.The front door was paved with blue bricks. The boss looked over 50 years old. He was wearing a green cloth coat, with a white towel on his shoulders, and his spotless cuffs rolled up to his elbows. He greeted them warmly.

Bo Zhaoxun looked like a regular customer. He quickly ordered food, but it was not yet time to eat. There were very few people eating. It didn't take long for the delicious food to arrive on the table.

The fried thin skin is crispy and the soup is rich. After a light bite, the mouth and teeth are fragrant. Qiao Chuyi finally feels hungry. She keeps waving her chopsticks, praising the deliciousness repeatedly, and has no time to say a few words for nearly half an hour .

Every time I saw her eating, I felt very hungry, and even Bo Zhaoxun's appetite improved a lot.

After eating and drinking enough, Bo Zhaoxun took her for a stroll. The sun was setting and the afterglow was shining on the earth. With a slight smile, he turned his head to look at her.

They pushed the cart and walked step by step, as if the whole world had nothing to do with them, and eternity was far ahead of them.

It would be great if there is eternity.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we returned to the hotel. Qiao Chuyi felt that being alone was too boring, so he insisted on reading in Bo Zhaoxun's room. Before reading a few pages, he had already heard him coughing several times, and his face was not good. , she went to touch his forehead, and sure enough, the temperature was on the high side.

"You have a fever." Qiao Chuyi suddenly became nervous, ran back to her room, took out the antipyretics from the suitcase, and hurried back.

Fortunately, she caught a cold from the cold, so she thought of bringing some emergency medicine for this trip.

Bo Zhaoxun has been under too much pressure recently, lack of sleep, coupled with the rain and wind, the illness is already expected.

With some headaches, Bo Zhaoxun was lying on the bed with a tired look on his face. After being taken care of by Qiao Chuyi, he took medicine and drank two cups of hot water. His eyelids gradually sank, but he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but talk about his childhood.

People are probably a bit fragile when they are sick. His voice is low and gentle. He said that his mother has been very demanding of him since he was a child, and he rarely praised him. But he is like a child who insists on asking for candy. In this way, the more I want to get my mother's approval.

"For me, no matter how many awards and compliments I receive, nothing can compare to my mother's affirmative look."

The more I listened, the more I felt that he was a little pitiful. Qiao Chuyi sat next to Bo Zhaoxun, and put his exposed arms under the quilt: "Don't think about it, take a rest, and you can go to the battlefield after recovering from your illness!"

Holding on to the last sliver of clarity, Bo Zhaoxun suddenly said: "I really want to eat egg custard. For so many years, my mother would only cook it for me when I was sick. It's strange. Every time I eat egg custard, I always get better soon."

He smiled slightly: "It seems that today I am always recalling the past, always thinking about things that cannot be realized."

Soon, he fell asleep.

Qiao Chuyi guarded Bo Zhaoxun for a while, seeing that he would not wake up for a while, she closed the door lightly and went to the front hall on the first floor.

She found a free computer and searched for "how to eat the best steamed egg custard". Whenever she found information that could be referred to, she neatly copied it in her notebook.

She wants to help him realize his wish.

In order to make a perfect bowl of egg custard, Qiao Chuyi struggled until late at night, taking five or six pages of notes before she was satisfied.

On the second day, Bo Zhaoxun still had a low-grade fever, didn't eat a few mouthfuls of breakfast, and stayed in the conference room for a simulation game. Qiao Chuyi wanted to use the hotel's kitchen to try steamed egg custard. Idlers are not allowed to enter" on the grounds of refusal.

It was a bad start, but Qiao Chuyi was still unyielding, and made up his mind to let him have dinner.She pushed aside the surrounding restaurants to ask, her face stiffened with a smile, but she returned in vain.

She kicked a stone sullenly, walked with her head down and thought of a way, and accidentally bumped into a girl head-on.The girl exclaimed in a low voice, the stiletto heel was difficult to maintain balance, she first staggered, and then fell to the ground.

In the clear sky, two walking people can bump into each other.

Qiao Chuyi panicked, apologized repeatedly, and hurried to help her. The girl had a gentle temper, and she didn't get annoyed when her palms were scratched. She asked very politely, "Sorry, my ankle seems to be sprained, can you help me?" Shall I sit in that café up ahead?"

Of course, Qiao Chuyi couldn't refuse, so he agreed with all his heart.

There were very few people in the cafe, so they sat down at a table at random, ordered two cups of coffee and some desserts, and chatted for a while before Qiao Chuyi realized that the other party was a student from the Dance Academy, named Song Zhengyan.

No wonder the temperament is so outstanding, Qiao Chuyi secretly sighed.

Even when she was sitting, Song Zhengyan kept her back straight. Her hair was all tied in a bundle at the back of her head, revealing her fair and slender neck. A picture of a living beauty.

Qiao Chuyi apologized to her again: "I'm really sorry, I was thinking about which store on this road might lend me a kitchen, but I didn't notice you were in front, why don't I go to the hospital for a checkup. "

"It's okay, it's just a small injury." Song Zhengyan smiled softly and didn't care.

When she learned that Qiao Chu wanted to borrow the kitchen, she said, "What's the problem? The owner of this coffee shop and I have been friends for many years. You can use the kitchen as you please."

"Really?" Qiao Chuyi didn't expect such a surprise, her voice raised two points unconsciously.

Just at this time, two muffled thunders suddenly sounded outside the window, as if a storm was about to come.

Song Zhengyan smiled and called the waiter: "Take Miss Qiao to the kitchen, please don't disturb me."

The waiter nodded, and led Qiao Chuyi, who was hit by the pie, to the kitchen.

When the figure was completely invisible, Song Zhengyan took a sip of coffee slowly, and asked the person sitting at the back table with her back facing her: "Are you sure it's her?"

"Sure." The man smiled lowly, "I've met a few times, but it left a deep impression on me."

Song Zhengyan tapped the wall of the cup with her fingernails, and made a crisp sound: "It's just such a little girl who has no wealth, is it worth your painstaking efforts?"

Probably because he had been sitting for a long time, the undrinked coffee in the cup was completely cold. He stood up and walked to Song Zhengyan: "Imagine that just the day before the competition, Bo Zhaoxun suddenly found out that she was missing, so guess what?" Guess, will his game go smoothly tomorrow?"

After a moment of silence, Song Zhengyan covered his mouth and smiled: "How can I guess the open and secret fights of your big family? As long as what I want can be realized, the rest is not that important to me. Everyone is infatuated, you..."

He immediately turned cold and interrupted: "We still have a chance to cooperate in the future." He walked towards the kitchen, "Please go ahead, Miss Song, Fang is excused."

The opened notebook was laid aside, Qiao Chuyi followed the steps, carefully beat two eggs, added dried shrimps and scallops, mixed thoroughly, slowly added cold whites, stirred until the mixture was about the same, and was about to steam it in a pot. The door was opened suddenly.

Someone came in, there was a slight thud, and the door closed again.

Qiao Chuyi was carefully observing the water level. When she heard the voice, she thought it was a waiter, and without raising her head, she just smiled apologetically: "It will be ready soon, just wait a little longer."

He stood leisurely by the door: "Don't worry, take your time, there is plenty of time."

Hearing the strange man's voice, Qiao Chuyi was taken aback, took down the steamer and put it aside, and asked calmly, "Who are you?"

The young man has handsome eyebrows and slender eyes, with an inexplicable smile on his thin lips, dangerous and charming.Something flashed in her mind, but it was hard to catch it clearly: "Have we seen it?"

But he answered irrelevantly: "My name is Fang Yanxiu."

Fang Yanxiu got closer to her, and the faint smell of tobacco on her body lingered in her nostrils: "Don't care if you've seen it or not, first wronged Miss Qiao to stay with me for a few days, we can have a good drink of tea and catch up with each other."

This has been said very blatantly.

"Who wants to catch up with you?" Qiao Chu's uneasy premonition was verified, and he felt guilty, but he still refused to give in, and added, "Old man!"

The calm dialect Xiu almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

He was only seven or eight years older than her, and he was still in his prime, so why did he become an old man when he came to her? !

Taking advantage of his unprepared dialect skills, Qiao Chuyi nimbly moved to the door, waiting for an opportunity to escape, but as soon as he opened the door, he was blocked by two iron tower-shaped bodyguards outside, and was picked up by the bodyguards like chicks.

Qiao Chuyi struggled, trying to reason with him: "Fang Yanxiu, I don't know you, you have found the wrong person, I really have no money, I can't even give you 100 yuan."

The other party looked either rich or expensive, he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't look like a kidnapper who wanted to blackmail him. Bo Zhaoxun will compete tomorrow, and she doesn't want to make any troubles at this time, so as not to affect him.

Fang Yanxiu smiled but said, "When the game is over tomorrow, someone will come to pick you up. Don't be afraid, I won't make things difficult for you, and I don't want your 100 yuan."

It was only then that Qiao Chuyi realized that the other party's target was not her, so she stopped barking her teeth and claws: "Do you know Bo Zhaoxun?"

Can't answer dialect repair.

"Send Miss Qiao to the apartment in the north of the city." He ordered the two people.

Bo Zhaoxun finished the last round of mock competition and was exhausted. He was about to ask Qiao Chuyi out for dinner, but he couldn't knock on the door for a long time. The front desk told him that Qiao Chuyi hurried out in the afternoon and hadn't returned yet.

After lunch, there was already a faint sign of a change in the sky, and as expected, there was lightning, thunder, and wind and rain outside.

Haven't returned yet.

His eyelids twitched suddenly, and his whole body was cold.

When I called her phone, there was a notification tone of shutting down the phone.

Shanghai is so big, Qiao Chuyi is like a drop of water in the sea, as long as it passes through the fingers, it seems that there is no way to find it.

Thinking of this possibility, Bo Zhaoxun wanted to rush out to find someone regardless of the pouring rain.

Being dragged before he went out, Xu Yang looked solemn and depressed: "Zhao Xun, Xiao Qiao is lost."

"I lost it..." Bo Zhaoxun lowered his eyes and repeated in a low voice, as if it took him a long time to understand the meaning of these two words. His voice became more tense, and he reached out to grab his collar, "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her? Are you telling me now that someone is missing?"

Xu Yang's father is Bo Zhaoxun's Sanda teacher, and the two have a deep relationship. For so many years, Bo Zhaoxun only asked him one thing, to protect Qiao Chuyi.

It's just that he didn't do it in Dengxi, which caused Qiao Chuyi to almost drown, and this time there was another omission.

Xu Yang felt guilty: "I saw her walking around on the road outside this evening. It was just a phone call. When I turned around, she disappeared. But I have sent someone to look for it, and I believe it will be soon." You got news."

"No, I can't just sit and wait for news." Bo Zhaoxun completely lost his usual composure and let go of his hand, "I'll go find it first, and let me know if there is any news from your side."

After all, he rushed into the vast rain and fog, and Xu Yang had no time to stop him.

Fang Yanxiu wanted to hide someone, but there was no clue for a while. Bo Zhaoxun searched for two hours in the rain but failed, and was finally dragged back to the hotel by Xu Yangsheng.

Early the next morning, bodyguard Anan called Fang Yanxiu to report on Qiao Chuyi's situation.

Anan has been with him for many years, his absolute right-hand man, and he is very sincere to him.

"Don't talk about crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself. I'm tired of listening to women's tricks." Fang Yanxiu wore headphones, looking lazy.He hit two billiards casually, hit one out, and four balls flew into the pocket, "Is there anything new?"

Anan was silent for a while, and said: "Miss Qiao is very fresh. From last night to now, she has neither cried nor made noises. She is especially edible. You need two sets of abalone and sea cucumber. Eat one and throw the other away. If you eat one, throw the other away."

"..."

This is promising.

"As she likes, you can do as you please, and buy more food for the little girl Pianzi." Fang Yanxiu threw the cue aside, took a clean shirt and changed it on.

Anan said again: "Okay, boss. But Ms. Qiao probably can't take it anymore. I'm going out to buy her stomach-strengthening and eliminating food tablets."

Fang Yanxiu buttoned his cuff buttons and laughed out loud.

No wonder Bo Zhaoxun held his hands like a baby, even when he came to Shanghai to participate in the competition, he had to take it with him, she was indeed a living treasure.

"Boss, there is one more thing," Anan tried his best to know everything, "The second young master of the Zhou family said he wanted to see you, and he has already arrived in Shanghai."

Dialect adjusted his suit jacket, and the man in the mirror had broad shoulders and narrow waist, and he looked even more majestic, but his expression became a bit playful: "Zhou Chishen is well informed, it seems that I have underestimated him before, it's okay to meet him, By the way, please do me a favor. Please stop visiting my cafe on Tuesday."

Qiao Chuyi, who could only lie on the sofa with a bulging belly, burped. The tea table was covered with dishes, various packaging bags and food waste.

Fang Yanxiu was barely considered a gentleman among villains, and he really didn't make things difficult for her. The two bodyguards were guarding the door all the time, except that they couldn't let her leave, and they were obedient and respectful to her.

After the initial fear, Qiao Chuyi gradually calmed down. The other party's target was not her. Although she was caught here inexplicably, all the subsequent actions could be regarded as treating each other with courtesy.

However, she still couldn't sleep at night, so Qiao Chuyi could only eat to relieve her panic. She prayed that Bo Zhaoxun would not know the news of her disappearance and could finish today's competition smoothly.

The mobile phone was confiscated yesterday, and there was no computer with Internet access in the room. Only the TV could barely pass the time. The clock struck nine o'clock, and Qiao Chuyi tuned to the live channel of the quick calculation contest.

The ten contestants came from four countries. After thousands of selections, it is needless to say the strength to be able to stand on the final stage. Bo Zhaoxun had won the computer in the previous competitions, and the expressionless photo was also impressive. Unsurprisingly, he became the most popular contestant.

Here the host has just introduced Bo Zhaoxun, and just said his name, the audience is ebullient.

The host joked: "With such a big show, those who didn't know thought they had won the championship. Zhao Xun will try his best to present a wonderful game today, so as not to disappoint everyone's enthusiasm."

The camera showed Bo Zhaoxun a close-up, and Qiao Chuyi's heart tightened.

Because it was the finals, the scene was grand, the scene was full of brilliance, and the lights were bright enough to set off Bo Zhaoxun's already pale face. His eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, and his eyes were erratic. He was so firm and proud that when the host threw such a sentence, he still stood silently, without any intention of responding.

Bo Zhaoxun was not in good condition, and the audience and Qiao Chuyi in front of the screen soon noticed it.

Fortunately, he can barely handle it.

At the beginning of the competition, in the first few rounds of multi-digit addition and subtraction, Bo Zhaoxun was slower than his opponent three times in the answering session, but due to his opponent's eagerness to win, he made two mistakes. Bo Zhaoxun finally narrowly won by a narrow margin and won the top three. Chance.

This kind of performance was enough to surprise the audience. No one expected that with his strength, this game would be difficult. The atmosphere in the arena was tense, and countless eyes were fixed on the stage.

Four into three qualification competition.

Bo Zhaoxun pressed the button, the big screen scrolled, and randomly selected a set of challenging problems - division of large numbers.

Qiao Chuyi gasped.

Bo Zhaoxun's advantage is already in multiplication, especially for him in this state, division with a large number of digits is undoubtedly worse.

He could barely cope with the first two questions, and drew with his opponent with one win and one loss. When it came to the crucial third question, the number of digits increased and the difficulty was even greater.After a five-second countdown on the big screen, the question popped up. Everyone held their breaths. The contestant on the other side was still scribbling. Bo Zhaoxun suddenly put down the pen in his hand and said calmly, "I give up."

Three words fell to the ground like thunder.

The audience was in an uproar, the opponent won without a fight and successfully qualified for the championship and runner-up. Bo Zhaoxun was upset and stopped in the semi-finals.

Such a situation actually happened on the spot. The most popular champion gave up the game on his own initiative. The host was also very shocked and didn't know what to say for a while.

For a full minute, everything was silent.

The camera followed Bo Zhaoxun all the time, the man who was famous for his mental arithmetic in his youth, the man who had won numerous honors in the past ten years, calmly took off his headset, walked off the stage step by step, and disappeared from the camera.

He didn't say a word.

The coffee shop opened by Fang Yanxiu is not big, it is not considered an industry, at most it is just playing with style.In this land where every inch of land is expensive, he also does as he pleases, entertaining two customers only when he is happy, and sometimes even closes for more than half a month.

This place is like the last harbor in Fang Yanxiu's heart.

Because someone once said that the greatest wish in the future is to open a literary coffee shop. At that time, that person shyly said that this idea was like a fantasy, but he kept it in his heart.

The glass roof design that can see the sky is decorated in a Mediterranean style, with light-colored wood as the keynote, delicate flower arrangements floating in the corner, and the music is soothing and flowing quietly.

"This is the coffee I brewed myself. It's not as good as those famous brands. Don't dislike it if it's less on Tuesday."

The two young men with their own thoughts, both of them have outstanding looks and temperament. The two of them sipped a few sips of coffee, exchanged a few rounds of greetings, like practicing Tai Chi, from business chats to vacations, they never mentioned the matter of Qiao Chuyi .

How old is Zhou Chishen younger than him? He hasn't come out of the university yet. The city is not deep, so he is no match for Dialect Xiu. In addition, he is worried about Qiao Chuyi. After a while, he finally loses his composure and smiles. Provoking the topic: "Brother Fang, I heard that a friend of mine caused you a little trouble yesterday. She has always been careless, straightforward and straightforward. After all, she is still young. Even if something bumps into you, it is an unintentional mistake."

Dialect Xiu but smiled and did not answer.

Zhou Chishen paused, and his tone was even slower: "Brother Fang asked me to bring her back to Qinghuai today, and I'll set up a game in a few days and ask her to make an apology to you, do you think it's okay?"

The enamel cup slammed against the saucer, Fang Yanxiu tapped on the table, his eyebrows moved slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.In the past few years, Zhou Chishen's domineering and arrogant reputation has spread far and wide. Once he loses his temper, no one will sell three-point noodles, but today he actually gave in to him.

Speaking of this, Fang Yanxiu no longer circled around: "Miss Qiao is an old acquaintance, I just invited her here to catch up. After all, Zhou just cut off my business two days ago, and I just happened to be free recently."

Those who understand don't need to understand, Zhou Chishen immediately understood his implication.

"I still have a list in my hand, Brother Fang should be interested." Zhou Chi was silent for a while, his eyes were calm, he didn't bargain, and he didn't make concessions again and again, "But, I'm going to take him away now."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the smile finally reached Fang Yanxiu's eyes, he fiddled with the phone twice, and exclaimed: "Young Master Zhou is a cheerful person, so naturally I can't make things difficult for you, Anan will take you to pick up Miss Qiao."

Zhou Chishen didn't stay any longer, and immediately got up to leave, but he heard the dialect Xiu behind him ask calmly, "Is it worth it?"

He is not a nosy person, and he is used to being hard-hearted. He always thought that Zhou Chishen was the same kind of person as him, so he couldn't help asking.

Dialect repair is clear, Qiao Chuyi is very close to Bo Zhaoxun, every time she looks at Bo Zhaoxun, anyone can see something unusual.

Zhou Chishen would not be kept in the dark about things that even he knew about.

Moreover, with Zhou Chishen's personality, he would never tell Qiao Chuyi what kind of concessions he made for her. Fang Yanxiu is a businessman who has no profit but no money. He really doesn't understand that this kind of unresponsive sacrifice is really does it worth?
Hearing this question, Zhou Chishen stood on the spot without looking back. He tapped his cane lightly with his fingertips, as if thinking, and then slowly said: "If one day, even if you know there is a fire pit in front of you, but for someone If you are safe and sound, and you are willing to throw yourself into the fire, then you will understand that some feelings cannot be measured."

Sitting alone for a long time, Fang Yanxiu savored this sentence carefully, and subconsciously thought of another person, who understood a little, but didn't seem to understand.He was in a complicated mood and smiled wryly.

Anan followed Zhou Chishen's instructions and brought Zhou Chishen to the apartment in the north of the city.With a solemn expression, he walked quickly into the living room, and soon found Qiao Chuyi.

The volume of the TV was very loud, and a mobile phone advertisement was playing on the screen. Qiao Chuyi sat on the floor with her knees hugged, huddled into a small ball.

"Little Qiao," Zhou Chishen's originally tense heart relaxed slightly, squatting beside her, his voice was gentle, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Chuyi finally raised her head, her always smiling face was in bewilderment.Her eye circles were red, she stared blankly at Zhou Chishen in front of her, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

She held onto it so tightly, like half the sky had collapsed, and said with a trembling voice, "Bo Zhaoxun lost."

A tear fell down without warning and fell on his hand. Suddenly, Zhou Chishen felt that the tear could burn a scar on the back of his hand. This was the first time he saw her tears. Bo Zhaoxun.

"Bo Zhaoxun, he lost."

Qiao Chuyi was very hurt in her heart, and repeated in a murmur.

Others thought that Bo Zhaoxun just lost a game, but Qiao Chuyi knew that what he lost was actually a life.

A life where you can do whatever you want without being restrained.

Half a month ago, she overheard Bo Zhaoxun calling.

"Uncle, I have no intention of arguing with him. I'm not interested in the Bo family's business, and I have no intention of going into business."

"Some knots can't be solved, and I don't want to have conflicts with him again. After the college entrance examination, I plan to go abroad."

I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said. He was silent for a long time, and finally gave in: "If I can win this competition, please respect my choice."

"If I lose, I will carefully consider your arrangement."

He was too proud. To him, losing a game meant losing everything, so when Bo Zhaoxun chose to give up in a crucial round, Qiao Chuyi felt sorry for him empathetically.

Zhou Chishen's eyes dimmed, but he was still smiling, and went to wipe her tears. Seeing her bare feet on the floor, he coaxed her to put on her shoes: "Don't cry, Xiao Qiao, I'll take you back first." .”

"No." Qiao Chuyi seemed to wake up suddenly, pushed his hand away, stood up, "I'm going to find Bo Zhaoxun."

Zhou Chishen couldn't resist her, so he had to follow her instructions and take her back to the hotel.She didn't even have time to wait for the elevator, so she climbed up to the fourth floor in one go. Zhou Chishen couldn't follow her, and could only watch her back flash and disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Bo Zhaoxun was lying in the room receiving an infusion. He was drenched in the rain for two hours last night. At dawn, he suddenly had a high fever. The four or ten minutes he was on stage today was barely enough to support him. fell asleep.

Not long after Zhou Chishen met Fang Yanxiu, Xu Yang also got news from Qiao Chuyi.He had phoned Zhou Chishen before to confirm her safety, so he was not surprised to see Qiao Chuyi.

Qiao Chuyi didn't have time to care about why Xu Yang was here, her heart was beating rapidly, and she asked in a low voice, "How is Bo Zhaoxun?"

"It's not a big problem. It is estimated that the fever can be reduced after hanging two bottles of medicine." Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her. "He is going crazy. I have known him for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen him like this."

"I..." Qiao Chu wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak. Tears welled up in his eyes, and finally he could only say, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have come with him."

Xu Yang didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only sigh.

"Qiao Chuyi..." Suddenly she heard a hoarse voice, very soft, like a whisper.

Qiao Chu thought that he was awake, and hurriedly leaned towards him, only to see that Bo Zhaoxun's eyes were still closed, his eyelids moved slightly, and he was still in a daze, sinking in a dream, not fully awake.

"Little Qiao," Bo Zhaoxun's voice was indistinct, and he could barely hear it clearly when he got close, "I originally...wanted to take you to England..."

Xu Yang was far away, he didn't know what Bo Zhaoxun said, only saw that Qiao Chuyi didn't make a sound, but burst into tears in an instant.
