Zheng Yijia drove me to meet Qiao's family.
My whole body was on guard, as if I was facing an enemy, with painkillers in my left hand and my phone in my right hand.
"It looks like you are on the battlefield," Zheng Yijia looked at me and said, "Qiao Lang is a city man, and his methods are sometimes extreme, but he just wants to see you." "If it's really that simple, I'm afraid he won't let go .” I sighed and asked her, “Do you know what happened between me and Joram?”
"Qiao Yi mentioned it to me a little bit."
Everyone knows about a failed relationship.
"What do you think?" I want to know what Zheng Yijia thinks.
"Me?" Zheng Yijia smiled, "As a Christian, I believe that same-sex love will not be blessed by God; as Qiao Lang's sister-in-law, I don't believe that Qiao Lang is a person who can bring you happiness. Happy people, Qiao's family is too paranoid and focused on feelings, so once they fall into hatred, they can't extricate themselves. It is known to see his two brothers fighting because of the old things of the previous generation; but if you are purely a woman, I hope you can accept him. "
Hearing the last sentence, I was surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why?"
"Who knows, it's just a feeling. Late at night a long time ago, I saw him leaning against the window alone, thinking about someone quietly. He didn't see happiness, but felt sad for him. He shouldn't have returned to Qiao's house at all. Come."
"He is full of maternal instincts." I said, "I would rather he had changed his mind long ago. I am tired, and I am no longer in the same mood as I was back then to play a love game with him again."
"I understand very well that when I was young, I made a wish to Santa Claus every year, hoping that my father would always be by my side, but when I was fifteen, I avoided my father, lest he would be free one day, and catch me from hair to toe. Wish. It’s better never to be realized than to be realized too late.”
Zheng Yi's family is concerned.
"If you have no intentions for Joram, you might as well think about my cousin. You should be able to see his intentions for you."
I stared at Zheng Yijia, pretending to be shocked and screamed, "I hope you are just joking, being friends with Chen Erxin is enough trouble, how can you be a lover!"
It's not a lie.
Zheng Yijia pursed his lips and chuckled, "A man's mouth is not forgiving at all."
Then she sighed and nodded in agreement with me, "Cousin is indeed not a suitable candidate for you. Both of you have part of your mind stuck in childhood, and both of you failed in EQ. You will die if you are together within three days. You only need to be careful enough and gentle enough." , to protect your ageless innocence for a long time."
"Why does everyone think I'm naive? Where am I naive?" I wondered if I had a baby face.
"He is not hypocritical and pretentious, treats people with sincerity, treats everyone wholeheartedly, does his best, loves others like a child, never holds back, and is therefore naive."
"This is naive, this is clearly a fool." I said bitterly.
"It's not that you're stupid. It's that you haven't met the right person. Cherish your kindness." She suddenly lowered her voice and said softly, "Innocence is not stupidity. The most stupid thing is to be serious."
Zheng Yijia didn't want to see Qiao Yi, so I had to let her wait outside.
The first person I saw was Qiao Yi. He was sitting alone in the hall, with his bare feet resting comfortably on the glass coffee table. Not a single servant was there.
I went up to greet him.
I wasn't surprised by Qiao's opinion, and replied lazily, "You are welcome back to Qiao's residence."
He looked up, there was a dark circle around his left eye, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and there were bruises at the corner of his mouth. Judging from the traces, the injury must have lasted for several days.
"But I haven't seen you for a few days, why is your whole face disfigured?" I teased him.
He was not annoyed, and glanced at me lightly.
"I underestimated your position in Qiao Lang's heart." Qiao Yi put his head on his hand, as if recalling, "When he found you missing that day, he angrily grabbed my collar and thought I was hiding you. I told him yes You want to leave by yourself, he doesn't believe it, so I fight with him. It's crazy, two men fight, the reason is because of another man!"
He held the corner of his mouth, as if he couldn't bear to look back.
"It's clear that you two brothers have had a grudge for a long time, and you don't like each other. It's not a day or two to want to beat each other up. Why do you use me as an excuse?"
Everyone is used to finding reasons from others, but never faces the darkness in their own heart.
Qiao Yi couldn't refute.
He waved his hand at me, "Qiao Lang is waiting for you in the study, he has been very angry these days, I can't help you."
Looks like a headache.
I said thank you and walked to the study.
"Also, your new hat is really ugly." Qiao Yi teased me behind my back, trying to win the game.
I didn't want to pay attention to him at first, so I walked a few steps, but I still retreated, and I said to him, "Zheng Yi's family drove me here today, and she is outside the gate of Qiao's house at the moment."
Qiao Yi's face changed as expected. I saw him fidgeting, and felt quite elated.
If he rushes out now, it is not impossible to start anew between him and her. I think.
I stood outside the study and knocked on the door, but no one answered, so I pushed open the door and walked in.
There was no light in the room, and Joram sat there, wondering how he could endure the dim atmosphere.
I reached out to the wall to turn on the light, but Qiao Ran stopped him immediately, "Don't turn on the light." Before it was too late, the light flashed before my eyes.
Qiao Lang covered his forehead with his hands in embarrassment. I looked closely, and it turned out that his face was also stained, not much better than Qiao Yi. The two brothers fought mercilessly, he hit him in the left eye, he must return it in the right eye.
This is good, each of them has a black eye, one left and one right, so symmetrical.
It's strange, seeing Joram's flustered look, my nerves that had been tense suddenly relaxed.
He's still a little childish.
I walked over to him and said, "Now that I'm here, and you've seen me too, can you let Chen Erxin go?"
Joram finally returned to normal. He put down his hand covering his face and asked me, "Why did you leave without saying anything?"
"If I had notified you in advance, would you still let me go?" I asked back.
He looked at me, "You know I mean no harm."
"Most actions that cause pain are unintentional," I said. "I have personal freedom, and you have no right to limit me."
"I just hope you can forgive me, four years ago—"
"It's four years later," I interrupted him to repeat the old story, "and I have already said that I have forgiven you long ago. I don't have the energy to bear a grudge against an irrelevant person for four years."
He is already irrelevant to me.
"Qiao Lang, there is no possibility between us, I am not your one, you should let go." I said.
"Four years ago you rejected me like this, but in the end you were still willing to accept me."
Joram remained calm. He didn't believe in my determination.
"Yes, I accepted you, so I regret it so far. I chose you at that time, but there can be no second time, and now I will not repeat the same mistakes."
I have made my words very clear, and there is no room for return.
"When I met you, not long after my mother passed away, I was penniless and had no fixed place to live. No one even wanted to take a second look at me. For a while, I thought that I would sink and never recover. You are the only one who is willing to reach out to me. Except for you, no one will treat me like that sincerely, so I will not let go." Joran was surprisingly calm, he said, "I will wait forever, one day, two days, or a lifetime."
I was intimidated by his eyes, he was not joking.
I've waited too long for someone who is willing to love me, and finally, I just feel tired. I no longer have the courage I had back then, desperate for just one person.
"You can wait, but that's just your business, please don't interfere with my life anymore." I finally said.
Joran clenched one hand tightly into a fist. After a long time, he smiled at me, "No, Pei, I won't let you leave me."
I was finally angry, Huo Di stood up and looked at him closely.
Joram looked at me calmly, unmoved in the slightest.
