"That time our group went to Italy for a performance. The performance was "Butterfly Lovers". The performance was very successful. It can be said to be unprecedented. After the performance, we went backstage to take off our makeup. I received a large bouquet of flowers, and there was a small card in the flower. , it was written in Chinese. He told me that he was an overseas Chinese who had left his hometown since he was a child. He was very moved after watching our performance and loved Chinese culture. "

"My story with him started with this bouquet of red roses. We performed in Italy for a week, and I received flowers from him every day, and of course other small gifts. I have always wanted to see this person. An overseas Chinese, he finally showed up after the performance on the last day. I still remember clearly that day he was wearing a long black trench coat and a gray top hat. Oh, you know, Xu Wenqiang. , that’s the feeling. The moment I met his eyes, I heard my own heartbeat. He invited me to have a cup of coffee. He told me that he was doing business in Italy and that he had come to Italy with his parents since he was seven years old. I haven’t been back to my country in years, but I have always missed my motherland. I was very touched after seeing our performance.”

"He is a successful businessman. He has two companies under his name in Italy. He is engaged in overseas trade. His stall is quite large, so he is very rich. He is a rich man, but he has always been very self-disciplined and has no bad habits at all. He is a He was a very understanding person. After returning to China, he also called me several times. You can imagine how difficult it was to make overseas phone calls in those days. One time, there was a mistake in my performance and I broke my leg. After getting the news, he quickly flew back to see me. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched the moment I saw him. He said that he was optimistic about the future development of our country and planned to invest part of it. Domestic. My family was opposed to dating him, but they couldn't do anything to me. At that time, I was really tempted to marry him. The relationship lasted for nine months. After a phone call from overseas, he said he wanted to come back. He celebrated my birthday, told me that he had bought a plane ticket, and proposed to me on the phone. I agreed, and just waited for him to deliver the ring to me. Unfortunately, I never waited for that phone call. It’s become an eternal farewell.”

Qi Jingyi couldn't help but choke up when she said this, and the rest of the words had become very difficult. Li Wei also expected the outcome of the matter, and she regretted: "It's a pity that I still missed it."

"I went to a teacher to learn Italian for him, and I also secretly tried on a wedding dress. After all, he still didn't see me wearing a wedding dress. The plane crash happened on July 17, and all 201 people on board were killed. Naturally, he was also a victim. in the list.”

Many years have passed since the incident, but Qi Jingyi still can't let go of it when she mentions it.

The love once was so gorgeous, but it was so short-lived like fireworks. Qi Jingyi once met such an outstanding man in her life, and it might be really difficult to fall in love with someone else again. That man may have formed a knot in Qi Jingyi's heart. This knot confused her, and she still couldn't get out of it after so long.

The electric fan whirred, and the wind it sent was filled with hot air.

Li Wei looked at the ceiling. After Qi Jingyi calmed down a little, he comforted her: "He comes and goes in a hurry, maybe he is just a passerby. Sister Qi still has a long life to go. She must live more brilliantly and do a good job for him." Look at this world. He once loved you sincerely, and when he couldn't protect you any more, he definitely hoped that you would meet another knight in your life who could protect you for him. "

Qi Jingyi's mood has completely recovered. After listening to Li Wei's words, she smiled and said: "As expected of a college student, what he said is really beautiful. Knight? I really never thought about it. In fact, it's not that difficult to live alone for a lifetime. So. You see, I am completely disconnected from my family. I moved out to live alone so that I don’t have to listen to their nagging. What’s wrong with being alone? I have both hands and feet. Why can’t I support myself? A woman needs to find a man to depend on. OK?"

Li Wei has always admired strong and independent women.

"Sister Qi, do you want to stay in the Children's Palace for the rest of your life?"

"For the rest of my life? How is it possible? When I get too old to move, the director will kick me out. Haha, just kidding..." Qi Jingyi paused and then added: "In the future, I still want to work alone. It will definitely be difficult to start a studio or a dance school.”

Qi Jingyi also wants to get out of the haze of the past and live the way she wants.

Qi Jingyi has only lived in her thirties, and her life is still very long. The tragic love affair left an everlasting imprint on her heart, and she will definitely meet another person who can open her heart in the future. Because she knew that Sister Qi had an extremely gentle heart, and gentle people would definitely be favored by fate.

"Sister Qi!"

"Well, don't you want to sleep? I'm a little sleepy."

"Sister Qi, your future will be bright." This is Li Wei's most sincere wish.

Qi Jingyi smiled softly, her eyes curved into two crescents. Her smile is very charming.

That night, Li Wei had a dream. She was riding a horse on the green prairie. Her heart was filled with joy and joy. Far away from her, there was a big tree full of flowers. Under the big tree stood a man wearing a dress. The man in white clothes was waving and shouting at her. She couldn't hear what the man was shouting in her dream, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly. She just tried her best to ride towards him, as if his side was her destination.

After this night of heart-to-heart talk, Qi Jingyi really treated Li Wei as a younger sister. From time to time, she would ask Li Wei to go shopping. Even when choosing clothes, she would ask Li Wei to accompany her. She would often tell her about the current trends. How should she dress herself.

The summer vacation passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the new semester ushered in. It was autumn, and Li Wei had also entered his sophomore year. I will take the CET-4 test in December, and I have to start preparing for this certification exam in September. Li Wei plunged into various word recitations and listening readings.

She would miss her second brother every time at this time. CET-4 or CET-6 would be just a piece of cake for her. Maybe schoolwork would be a lot easier if he was around.

"Wei Wei, there is a new movie coming out next Wednesday, starring Zhao Qian, do you want to go see it?" Chen Zhu strongly invited Li Wei to go with him.

Unexpectedly, Li Wei shook his head very coldly and said, "I'm not interested. I still have to study hard to prepare for the exam."

Chen Zhu thought to himself: Why did Li Wei get out of the circle so quickly? Not long ago, I was an avid movie fan and was willing to buy high-priced tickets. Why don’t I even want to go to the movies now
