Long Time Loved Friend

After blowing out the candles and making a wish, they played a game of cards for a while.

It wasn't until the early morning that the noise in the living room gradually subsided. Although the jobs of the few people were different over the years, they would get together a few times a month after living here, so the feelings of the few people were not alienated because of their work.

"I'm staying at Zhizhi's house today." Jiang Yuan'an suddenly shook Yunzhi's arm and said after playing the last game of cards agreed upon.

Yunzhi looked up at Zhu Qingmeng who was staring at his arm, with an awkward yet polite smile on his face, then pushed Jiang Yuanan, and seeing that he couldn't move, he said, "Otherwise you Stay here too? I'll clean up your two rooms."

Who doesn't know that Zhu Qingmeng is jealous, even if they are good friends, Zhu Qingmeng doesn't want Jiang Yuanan to pester them.

Zhu Qingmeng nodded, and pulled Jiang Yuan'an up from the sofa: "Go, clean up the room."

"I won't go, I won't go, I won't sleep with you, I want to sleep with Zhizhi..."

No matter how much Jiang Yuan'an resisted, Zhu Qingmeng dragged her into the room.

Yun Zhi's house has three bedrooms and one living room, and the three of them often come to stay overnight, so they all have fixed rooms.

After Zhu Qingmeng and Jiang Yuan'an left, the living room fell into silence.

Nan Qiao was sitting on the carpet in the living room, with several bottles of wine on the coffee table in front of her. When Yun Zhi turned her head, Nan Qiao was looking at her with her head propped up.

"I'll clean up the second bedroom for you, and I'll leave tomorrow." Yun Zhi squatted in front of the coffee table, put the empty wine bottles neatly into the recycling bin, and whispered to Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao looks heroic, with deep brows, two blushes on her cheeks after drinking, and she looks a little cuter than usual.

"Are you drunk?" Yun Zhi asked in confusion after he put away the wine bottle and still didn't hear Nan Qiao's reply.

After a while, Nan Qiao sat up straight, and the hand that was supporting her head slowly fell to her side. She said softly, "I know, what wish did you make last year?"

"What's wrong?" Yun Zhi lowered his eyes, unwilling to answer her question.

"Is it about me?"

"It doesn't count." For her, liking is just her business. She is willing to gamble and lose because of wishful thinking, and she doesn't want to continue with this matter. Yun Zhi changed the subject, "I'm going to tidy up the second bedroom, you sit for a while Son."

As soon as Yun Zhi got up, there was a burst of warmth from her wrist. She turned her head and saw that Nan Qiao was holding her wrist, and above her were her struggling eyes.

This is not the first time Yunzhi has seen Nan Qiao like this. At first, she also thought that maybe Nan Qiao had some difficulties, but then one incident broke her imagination. What is the reason? She simply doesn't like her. Even if you like it, it's just a friend's like.

Whenever Yun Zhi clearly realizes this matter and wants to escape, he will be called back by Nan Qiao's tenderness.

After waiting for a long time before Nan Qiao could speak, Yun Zhi was about to break free from her hand, and the next moment she heard Nan Qiao say, "Can I sleep with you? We haven't talked late at night for a long time."

Yun Zhi couldn't believe what he heard, and didn't have time to answer her for a while.

"It's okay." Nan Qiao's eyes no longer had the confusion just now, and she acted coquettishly at her.

Yun Zhi came back to his senses, slowly pushed away the hand holding her wrist, took a deep breath, the words of a person without desire really hurt people.

To Nan Qiao, it was just a chat between friends, but not to her. Even if she couldn't do anything, she couldn't be so calm, and she would still feel sad and despicable.

"As I said, I will only sleep with my girlfriend." Yun Zhi smiled lightly, pretending to be casually joking, "Are you going to be my girlfriend?"

Ever since she knew her own orientation, Yun Zhi paid attention to this aspect. Even if it seemed unbelievable to be conservative in the eyes of others, it was a principle for her.

Even if she takes a ten thousand step back, she can share a bed with a friend, but this friend will definitely not be Nan Qiao. She has a guilty conscience, how dare she agree to such a thing.

Nan Qiao lowered her eyes, tightened her fingertips a little bit, and her face was reflected on the clean and smooth coffee table mirror.

"I'm just joking. It's not like you don't know that I like you. If you dare to say such a thing, you're not afraid of what I might do to you." Yun Zhixiao changed the subject agitatedly, getting used to the other party's non-answer.

"Do you know what my wish was last year?" Nan Qiao didn't follow Yun Zhi's words to change the topic, but returned to the original question again.

Yun Zhi sighed: "What?"

"You won't leave me, you won't hate me, and you will always be by my side, even this year." Nan Qiao said seriously, with a gentle voice.

Yun Zhi's expression froze, and his heart was full of complexity.

What is this, rejecting her but asking her not to leave.

"If you keep doing this, I will really think you want to fall in love with me."

As soon as Yun Zhi finished speaking, Nan Qiao lowered her eyes again and did not answer for a long time.

Under the dim indoor light, Yun Zhi couldn't see her expression clearly, but thinking of the usual times, he could guess that Nan Qiao definitely didn't know how to reject her as usual.

Thinking of this, Yunzhi also let out a sigh of relief, and a different emotion rose from the bottom of his heart. He no longer wanted to keep the surface calm, and asked her instead: "What am I in your heart? Is it really just a friend, not a spare tire?"

Nan Qiao panicked, she quickly got up and grabbed her to deny, "I didn't treat you as a backup."

"Then tell me, why do you want me to be by your side all the time? With so many friends, why must it be that I can't leave, just because of friends?"

The long suppressed emotions finally broke out at this moment. Yun Zhi's growl made Nan Qiao not know how to answer for a long time, and even Jiang Yuan'an and Zhu Qingmeng, who had been playing around in the room, were attracted to come out.

When seeing the confrontation between the two, Zhu Qingmeng grabbed Jiang Yuan'an who was about to speak out, and brought her back to the room.

The sound of closing the door didn't affect the awkward atmosphere between the two of them. Today's Yunzhi was more resolute than ever before. Nan Qiao had an intuition that if she couldn't coax Yunzhi well today, she might really lose Yunzhi.

"We... aren't we good friends? In the second year of junior high school, we said we would be good friends for life." Nan Qiao held her hand tightly, trying to remind her of those days when she first met.

That's right, she just lost her best friend in the second year of junior high school. At that time, Nan Qiao walked up to her to comfort her and told her that they would be good friends forever.

From this point of view, it was her fault. The fault was that she had spoiled her relationship and fell in love with her good friend.

But…

"Good friend, so you help me reject other people's confession to me, so when someone gets close to me, you will show your possessiveness, let me stay away from them, you tell me, because we are good friends."

"They are not worthy of you. I've seen it for you. I don't want you to be hurt." Nan Qiao tried to explain.

"Does my good friend take care of too many things?" Yun Zhi sneered, his mood sinking a little bit, "Actually, I really want to know when did you start caring so much about my love life, freshman or sophomore or junior? "

The first time Yunzhi knew that Nan Qiao helped her reject others was in her junior year. At that time, she happened to meet the two in private, and the other party handed Nan Qiao a gift box.

That was the first time that Yunzhi knew what it was like to be jealous without status, and anger, sadness and loss gnawed at her heart over and over again.

They are just friends, so they have no identity and are not qualified to ask more questions.

Later, when that girl appeared in front of her by chance to talk to her, Yun Zhi was very sad because Nan Qiao didn't tell her about it, and even treated that girl a lot colder. Later, it was Jiang Yuan'an who told her about the person that girl liked is her.

Don't love her, but don't allow others to love her, how can anyone be so overbearing.

Yun Zhi has always had low tears. Thinking of all the past, her eyes began to heat up, and her heart felt sore.

what is this.

"I'm sorry, Zhizhi, I won't be like this in the future, never again, you... don't cry." Nan Qiao saw Yunzhi's eyes were flushed, he was at a loss, he reached out to touch but she avoided it.

"You know, my tears are low." Yun Zhichang let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand to fan his cheek, "I'm going to clean up the room."

She had completely forgotten the previous questioning, and Yun Zhi was no longer obsessed with Nan Qiao's answer, and left the living room in a panic and returned to the second bedroom.

Yun Zhi made the bed, because she was a little absent-minded about the matter just now, and it was already twenty minutes later when she finished tidying up the room.

There was no one in the living room, and the screen of the mobile phone thrown on the sofa was on, displaying WeChat messages.

Nanshan Qiaomu: [The painting is not finished yet, I'm going home first. 】

[I'm sorry about what happened just now, I will pay more attention to propriety in the future. 】

[My lord has a lot of little knowledge, can you stop being angry with Qiao Qiao? 】

[Have a good rest, good night, your Qiao Qiao has already thought about it while facing the wall. 】

At the end, there is an emoticon pack of facing the wall and thinking about it. It was made by Yun Zhi with Nan Qiao's picture before. She said she didn't like it, but she would use this picture every time she apologized.

Yun Zhi replied good night, threw the phone on the sofa, lay on his back and looked at the chandelier hanging in the living room, his eyes became sore and tears started to appear after watching for a long time.

Maybe she should convince herself that it's not bad to be friends.

But only she knows that she and Nan Qiao can maintain the current relationship because she is not in a relationship. If one day she chooses a new relationship, the first person she will alienate is Nan Qiao.

She couldn't let her future partner watch her get along with the friend she had liked for ten years, and she didn't want her future partner to experience the grievances she had suffered.

This may be the reason why she has been unable to fall in love with others for so long, unable to forget, unable to start, and finally fell into an endless loop.

In the second bedroom, there were two people lying on the door listening to the movement in the living room, but they couldn't hear the sound for a long time. Jiang Yuan'an quietly opened the door and asked worriedly: "Is Zhizhi crying? Should I be crying?" Go out and comfort her?"

"It might be better to let her be quiet." Zhu Qingmeng bent down and looked at Jiang Yuanan who was leaning against the door looking for a voice. She felt cute and rubbed her head again, "You also know that people will get angry when they quarrel, why not?" Do you care if I feel bad?"

"What's wrong with you? You want to break up with me. What's wrong with you. "

"When did I want to break up with you?" Zhu Qingmeng frowned slightly, not understanding her words.

"I asked you to delete that woman. If you don't delete it, doesn't that mean you want to break up with me?" Jiang Yuan'an glared at her, as if saying that she didn't admit it.

"I didn't. I said two days later. After two days, the cooperation will be deleted." Zhu Qingmeng was helpless. Over the years, she had gotten used to her strange anger, so she tried her best to comfort her.

The two of them quarreled and forgot about Yunzhi for a while, until the door was pushed open and Jiang Yuanan sat down on the ground with all his strength, and then realized that the two of them were peeking at Yunzhi's reaction just now.

Yun Zhi was standing at the door holding the quilt. Originally, she wanted to knock on the door, but the door was pushed open so easily. Seeing Jiang Yuan'an sitting on the ground, Yun Zhi could easily imagine what the two of them were doing.

It was nothing more than listening to the movement in the living room.

"Aren't you arguing? I'll bring you a quilt." Yun Zhi handed the quilt to Zhu Qingmeng, and exited the door, leaving Zhu Qingmeng and Jiang Yuan'an looking at each other.

"It seems to be all right," Jiang Yuan'an grabbed the quilt in her hand, first lay down on the bed and wrapped herself into a ball, and said, "To be honest, Nan Qiao is really too much, if it's not because everyone is friends, I want to punch her twice, there are many people who like Zhizhi, and she is not bad, when I find a suitable person, I must introduce it to Zhizhi, and let Nan Qiao regret it."

Even though they are a small team of four, there are differences between them. Jiang Yuanan likes Yunzhi more, and Zhu Qingmeng has more contact with Nan Qiao.

"You can see that others can see it quite clearly. Didn't you say you treated me as a friend when you rejected me?" Zhu Qingmeng lifted the quilt in her hand, and lay down in it regardless of her rejection.

Jiang Yuan'an: "..." I made a mistake.
