Chapter 33
Chapter 32
In the early morning, the sun was shining brightly.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom, a thin figure stood against the light, with loose long hair, a loose T-shirt over him, and his legs bare.
Everything is hazy.
People can’t distinguish between dreams and reality.
Qiao Zhiyu was lying in the bedding, staring lazily at the back of the other party. When the other party turned around, she saw a quiet and beautiful face. So familiar.
“Get up so early?” Qiao Zhiyu asked.
“It’s you who got up late.”
Qiao Zhiyu hooked her, “Come here.”
Ji Xi obediently walked to the bed.
As soon as he approached, Qiao Zhiyu gave her a hand, and pulled her back to the bed. The two put a pillow on them, so they looked at each other’s face quietly. It’s like laughing, but it’s not like laughing.
“Do you like me?”
“No.”
“Hard mouth.” Qiao Zhiyu said, turning over and pressing on her, rubbing his fingers around her waist.
For a moment, the laughter in the bedroom was crisp.
Qiao Zhiyu also laughed: “Do you like it or not?”
“Ok.”
“What do you mean?”
“like.”
…
Qiao Zhiyu opened his eyes and woke up from his sleep, still alone. The heartbeat is still speeding up slightly.
After the “confession” that night, Ji Xi and Qiao Zhiyu met again in private, the next night.
Several people made an appointment to eat at Yao Ran’s house. Yao Ran said that last time he didn’t get together, he must make an appointment to have dinner together, and he has been talking about it several times.
“Why didn’t Xiao Ji come with you?” Yao Ran asked after only seeing Qiao Zhiyu and Qiao Qing at the door.
Qiao Zhiyu laughed dryly, remembering that when she was off work, she sent Ji Xi to WeChat and asked Ji Xi to ride in her car. As a result, Ji Xi slipped fast and didn’t know what he was hiding.
“Xiao Qing, do you remember Aunt Yao Yao?” Yao Ran smiled and tried to say hello to Qiao Qing.
Qiao Qing immediately hid behind Qiao Zhiyu.
Yao Ran was helpless.
Qiao Zhiyu said: “Still shy.”
“The courage is already much bigger.” Yao Ran had met Qiao Qing once before. At that time, he was really timid, hiding in his room and refused to go out.
Qiao Qing heard from Qiao Zhiyu that Ji Xi was there, and the little guy came tonight, otherwise he would definitely not come.
This house was rented after Yao Ran and Jiang Nian were together. The middle lot was taken, not far from their shop. It’s a big three-bedroom, one hundred flat.
The kitchen is open plan.
Jiang Nian was busy in the kitchen. After seeing Qiao Zhiyu, he smiled and greeted him.
Cooking is also considered one of Jiang Nian’s hobbies. When she is free, she will cook by herself. Western food prepared tonight.
Just sat down on the sofa.
Qiao Zhiyu saw the traces of the lives of two people in the house, and asked Yao Ran, “You live together?”
“Yup.”
Qiao Zhiyu smiled and said, “Very good.”
The contented smile on Yao Ran’s face represents everything. Now the two of them open a shop, travel and live together like a young couple, and the little days are very moist.
“Auntie, where’s the teacher?” Qiao Qing asked Qiao Zhiyu quietly, her mouth curled.
“The teacher will be here later,” Qiao Zhiyu said.
Qiao Qing said nothing again.
“She has a good relationship with Xiao Ji.”
Qiao Zhiyu: “Well, it’s very sticky to her.”
“Wife—” Jiang Nian shouted in the kitchen, “Wife, come here.”
“what’s happenin?”
“Where did the black pepper go?”
“Isn’t it with the salt?”
“No.”
“Why didn’t, I just bought it yesterday. Don’t do it, I’ll look for it.” Yao Ran watched Jiang Nian rummaging through the cabinets, fearing that she would mess up the kitchen again, so she walked over.
Qiao Zhiyu looked at the noisy, tired and crooked two people in the kitchen, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and felt sad again.
Ding Dong’s door bell rang at this time.
Qiao Zhiyu got up to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Ji Xi saw Qiao Zhiyu’s face. When they met and looked at each other, the air was silent for a while, and what happened last night is still vivid.
When the two touched again, there was a subtle change. Not as natural as before.
Ji Xi was embarrassed with inexplicable explanation; while Qiao Zhiyu looked at Ji Xi with a little complicated mood.
“Come in.” Qiao Zhiyu said.
Ji Xi: “Yeah.”
“Teacher.” After seeing Ji Xi, Qiao Qing got up and greeted him, suddenly a lot more lively, just like a new person.
Fortunately, Qiao Qing is here, so the atmosphere can be slowed down. Ji Xi turned her attention to Qiao Qing. She knelt down and hugged Qiao Qing, “Goodbye, miss the teacher?”
“Yeah.” Qiao Qing’s voice was a little bit coquettish.
Ji Xi smiled softly and said, “I want Xiaoqing too.”
“And auntie.” Qiao Qing looked at Qiao Zhiyu, then looked at Ji Xi, and whispered to Ji Xi, “Auntie misses the teacher too.”
Qiao Zhiyu: “…”
Ji Xi lowered her eyes, not knowing how to answer, just laughed. Touched Qiao Qing’s little head and smiled.
There are cartoons on TV, SpongeBob Squarepants that Qiao Qing loves to watch. Qiao Qing sat on the sofa obediently, holding a pillow, and looking seriously with his big eyes open.
And Qiao Zhiyu and Ji Xi sitting aside were quiet.
There was almost no dialogue between the two.
It’s not usually like this.
Ji Xi thought, maybe Qiao Zhiyu also wanted to keep his distance. It was obviously an accident last night, but it made it like a real confession, making the relationship awkward. But thinking about the situation last night, it’s weird not to think too much.
Qiao Zhiyu secretly swept Sao Jixi with his left light, unable to guess what the girl was thinking about?
The same silence, the two have different thoughts.
Yao Ran came over, “I will start dinner later, do you want to eat some fruit first? I’m not boasting. My boss, Mr. Jiang, can cook western food.”
Upon seeing this, Ji Xi got up from the sofa, “Let me help Jiang Nian, she can’t do it alone.”
“How can you help?” Yao Ran wanted to call Ji Xi.
“It’s okay.” Ji Xi has already walked to the kitchen.
After Ji Xi left, Yao Ran sat down beside Qiao Zhiyu, feeling as if the other party was not in the state, “What’s the matter with you?”
Qiao Zhiyu asked, “What’s wrong?”
I really want to say, Yao Ran couldn’t say it again, “It’s nothing.”
Watching TV and then at the kitchen, Qiao Zhiyu drank water in his hand. After a while, she asked Yao Ran, “How did you and Ji Xi meet?”
Provoked a topic about Ji Xi.
“The bar recruited part-time jobs in the past two years. She came to interview. She is considered as my school girl. She must take care of her and she will get acquainted.” Talking about these things, Yao Ran couldn’t help but sigh, “This girl is not easy, but also very powerful. ”
Qiao Zhiyu looked at the profile of Ji Xi in the kitchen, “What do you say?”
Yao Ran doesn’t know much about Ji Xi, but once Ji Xi asked her to pay her salary in advance, she knew that Ji Xi still had a younger sister, and that Ji Xi had to provide for her sister to study. It is estimated that the home condition is not good. Naturally, Yao Ran didn’t elaborate on these words with Qiao Zhiyu. After all, it was inappropriate to say something that involved the privacy of others.
“It’s not easy for people who come to the north to work hard, let alone a little girl like her. Xiao Ji can endure more hardships than ordinary people, and has good abilities. He may be able to sit in your position in the future.” Yao Ran vaguely said before heading back. He twisted and looked at Qiaozhi for more than a few seconds, “I found that you are very interested in her affairs.”
Qiao Zhiyu feigned a relaxed smile. She really wanted to know more about Ji Xi. She had never been so curious about anyone. Qiao Zhiyu said calmly, “I think she is very special.”
“Yeah—” Yao Ran dragged the trailing tone, and then chuckled softly at Qiao Zhiyu: “Love starts with curiosity.”
Qiao Zhiyu paused, and you asked: “What do you mean?”
Joe, who is smarter than a fox, always pretends to be stupid here, Yao Ran’s lips have a meaningful smile, “I think you pay attention to people, how many peeks have you peeked tonight? To be honest, you and Xiao Ji… Did you two call?”
Qiao Zhiyu continued to drink, she was not sure, nor denied it. She couldn’t give a definitive answer to something she wasn’t sure about.
Seeing Qiao Zhiyu’s reaction like this, there was obviously something impure between the two, and they didn’t run away. Yao Ran hit the nail on the head, “Hesitation is feeling.”
Qiao Zhiyu didn’t refute Yao Ran’s statement, just like when she was in contact with Xu Sheng, she didn’t feel it or she didn’t feel it. There was no need to think about it.
“It is understandable. After all, I am suddenly interested in women and it takes some time to adapt.” Other Yao Ran didn’t say much, feelings are like people drinking water, and they know how warm and cold they are. Two people can come together not only by feeling, because there are too many factors.
Qiao Zhiyu looked at Yao Ran silently, maybe so. But what she is more entangled now is that someone has confessed to her in disguise and turned her head and refused to admit it. Thinking of Ji Xi staring at her with ambiguous eyes several times, it makes it hard for her not to doubt anything…
But Ji Xi emphasized that last night was a pure misunderstanding.
Is that really just a misunderstanding? Qiao Zhiyu glanced at Ji Xi, who was looking down and busy in the kitchen, and his mind was disturbed again.
It was more than nine o’clock to leave from Jiang Nian Yao Ran.
Friday night is very lively.
When he went downstairs to take the elevator, Qiao Qing was a little greedy when he saw a child eating ice cream. Ji Xi remembered that there was a KFC dessert station downstairs and happened to take her there.
KFC has another new product. Many people stand up to the high temperature and line up a long line outside the window.
“I’ll buy it.” Qiao Zhiyu asked Ji Xi and Qiao Qing to wait.
I waited for about ten minutes. Ji Xi saw that Qiao Zhiyu came over with two cones in his hand.
Qiao Zhiyu handed one to Qiao Qing and one to Ji Xi.
Ji Xi: “I don’t need it, you can eat it.”
Qiao Zhiyu: “I don’t eat.”
Ji Xi said, “Then you buy two more.”
Qiao Zhiyu: “The second half price, save money.”
Ji Xi subconsciously said: “It’s not more economical if you don’t buy it.”
Qiao Zhiyu smiled at this moment: “I bought two kids if I had two.”
Two kids —
Ji Xi couldn’t help laughing. Seeing Qiao Zhiyu smile easily at herself, she also felt relaxed.
There was a contradictory idea. She obviously wanted to keep her distance from Qiao Zhiyu, but when the two of them really kept their distance tonight, this sudden sense of alienation made her feel unexplainably unpleasant.
And now it’s much better.
“Take it.” Qiao Zhiyu handed ice cream again.
Ji Xi took it and took it to her mouth, which was very sweet and sweet.
Qiao Zhiyu looked at Ji Xi’s muffled eating, staring at her face for a long time, and couldn’t help asking: “Why are you hiding from me today?”
After hearing this soft sentence, Ji Xi raised her head, licked the ice cream on her lower lip first, and said stiffly, “No.”
No? Qiao Zhiyu settled the account with her: “Then let you wait for me to get off work, why don’t you wait for me?”
After hearing this, Ji Xi was speechless, and then said truthfully for a moment: “I think it’s better to keep a distance.”
“Why?” Qiao Zhiyu raised another question.
“I’m afraid you will make a mistake…” Ji Xi was afraid of your misunderstanding before she finished speaking. She heard Qiao Zhiyu say again: “Did I ask you to keep your distance from me?”
Qiao Zhiyu said with a smile, seemingly relieved, she raised her eyebrows, and continued to ask Ji Xi in a joking tone, “Or do you really think about me and have a guilty conscience?”
“No.” Ji Xi replied quickly, solemnly contrary to Qiao Zhiyu’s.
Without answering so quickly, Qiao Zhiyu was choked and didn’t know what to say. After a short silence, she smiled and asked, “Are you afraid of me misunderstanding?”
Ji Xi: “…”
Yes, I’m afraid of misunderstanding something.
This logic is indeed correct. It didn’t have much at first, but it seems there is something to hide today. It’s not as natural as before.
The hot wind blew, and the conversation between the two stopped abruptly. Qiao Qing couldn’t understand the adult’s conversation and still concentrated on eating ice cream.
After a while, Ji Xishu sighed and said calmly, “Just don’t take it to heart.”
Qiao Zhiyu stared at her thoughtfully, followed her words slowly, and said with a soft smile: “I said it was a misunderstanding, don’t worry.”
Just have this sentence.
“Yeah.” Ji Xi smiled, wanting to say something, but just wanted to explain it to this point. She lowered her head and ate the ice cream. It was hot and the ice cream melted so fast that it ran to her fingers and made it sticky.
“Hurry up and wipe it,” Qiao Zhiyu saw, and Chao Jixi handed over the tissue in his hand, and whispered to her: “Such an adult is like a child, so I can get it everywhere.”
“Yeah.” Ji Xi snorted again, and after taking the tissue from Qiao Zhiyu’s hand, she smirked.
She felt quite mature, but every time she heard Qiao Zhiyu say that she was like a child, there was a kind of unspeakable happiness.
So inexplicable.
