Qiao Yanzhou has always felt that his life is full of dreams and legends, and this color has become especially colorful and dazzling tonight.
I was making out with my boyfriend in a corner next to the community, but my own sister caught me, and I was so scared that I even dropped the fish in my hand. This can definitely be included in the top 5 of the most embarrassing incidents in Qiao Yanzhou's first half of his life.
Qiao Ai stood in the same place and was completely stunned. She stared at Qiao Yanzhou and Gu Zixing in a daze for a while, then stared straight at the two people opposite, and pointed in a certain direction hesitantly: "I … I’ll go home first…”
Although Qiao Yanzhou wanted to remind Qiao Ai that the direction she pointed was leading to the gate, but the little emotional intelligence left told him that now was not the time to talk about it.
"Small… "
"Brother Zixing, stop talking," Qiao Ai interrupted Gu Zixing without even thinking about it, with a smile uglier than crying: "Didn't I tell you, actually, actually I Already knew that."
Qiao Ai's voice trembled a little, which obviously didn't sound like the tone she had known for a long time.
It seems that when Qiao Ai asked Gu Zixing those questions, she didn't have the chance to win as she imagined. Maybe she wasn't even 20% sure.
But today, Qiao Ai's database has risen from less than 20% to 100% in an instant. The feeling is similar to that of a person whose blood pressure has been hovering around 90 all year round and suddenly jumped to more than 200. No one can bear it.
"You talk, I'll just..." Qiao Ai stretched out her hand and pointed again, turned around and ran away before finishing her sentence.
But maybe even Qiao Ai himself didn't know what he wanted to say.
But to Qiao Yanzhou's relief, Qiao Ai finally pointed in the right direction this time, but the packs of snacks she bought just now were all scattered on the ground, and one of the boxes of biscuits was accidentally stepped on by Qiao Ai when she ran away. I kicked it and didn't think to pick it up, which shows how flustered it was.
Seeing the direction in which Qiao Ai left, Qiao Yanzhou had mixed feelings in his heart. He swallowed and stretched out his hand to pat Gu Zixing: "Why don't you ask the coach if there are any extra air tickets..."

After sending Gu Zixing the car to the airport, Qiao Yanzhou didn't go home directly, but first smoked a cigarette downstairs, wandered into the small garden and sat down.
The street lights in the neighborhood were broken, and Qiao Yanzhou stared blankly at the red flame on the top of the cigarette in the dark, lighting it up bit by bit, as if reminding him of something.
Qiao Yanzhou couldn't stay downstairs for a long time, because his mother would ask again and again if he went back late, but Qiao Yanzhou wanted to stay downstairs for a while, because he really didn't know what he would face when he entered the house. Maybe it's a peaceful life, or maybe it's just a face-to-face meal, everything is full of unknowns and mysteries.
Before Gu Zixing left, he said a lot to Qiao Yanzhou, and there was one sentence that Qiao Yanzhou couldn't let go of for a long time.
He said, "Xiao Qiao, why don't I stay with you."
Qiao Yanzhou hesitated at first, but in the end he refused directly and decisively.
Qiao Yanzhou always feels that he has fallen into a vicious circle unconsciously now. He is used to Gu Zixing being by his side, and he is used to Gu Zixing quietly helping him to take care of everything. I can't remember how I survived without Gu Zixing.
And this feeling was especially strong in the team, sometimes Qiao Yanzhou felt like a badass.
Qiao Yanzhou doesn't care about messy things like 1 and 0, attack and receive, up and down, and doesn't want to care. After all, this is not the reason for him to live under Gu Zixing's protection. Some things have to be faced first by himself .
Thinking of this, Qiao Yanzhou stood up slowly and extinguished the cigarette butt that was about to burn out, put his hands in his pockets and stood on tiptoe.
Xiao Qiao, after all, we still have to work hard to become stronger.

When I got home, Qiao Ai was the only one in the living room. I saw her sitting on the sofa and eating some fruit in silence. When Qiao Yanzhou opened the door and came in, she was taken aback for a moment, and then forced a smile on her face. : "Brother Gu... is gone?"
"Yeah." Qiao Yanzhou put the few packets of snacks that Qiao Ai had thrown away that he picked up from the yard just now on the table, changed his shoes, walked into the room and took off his coat.
Looking at it like this, Qiao Ai probably hasn't told her parents yet, otherwise the house wouldn't be so quiet now, and the pots and pans wouldn't be placed so neatly.
Only then did Qiao Yanzhou breathe a sigh of relief.
After walking out of the room, he went to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of hot water. Then he turned around and glanced at Qiao Ai, who was sitting there thinking about something. Qiao Yanzhou hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Go to bed early."
Qiao Yanzhou and Qiao Ai brothers and sisters have never been so tacit since they were young for twenty years. Qiao Yanzhou and Qiao Ai are not people who can hide things, and they never hold anything in their hearts. Today, it can be said that it was the first time in the world.
Seeing that Qiao Ai had no intention of speaking, Qiao Yanzhou turned around and prepared to go back to the room.
"elder brother!"
Qiao Ai's voice came from behind. Although the tone didn't change much from usual, Qiao Yanzhou could still hear a strange emotion from it. Qiao Yanzhou turned around, waiting for Qiao Ai to finish speaking.
"Your phone... just rang." Qiao Ai pointed to the phone that Qiao Yanzhou forgot on the table just now.
After listening to Qiao Ai's words, Qiao Yanzhou was stunned for a moment, but it might be better to say that the boulder that was suddenly suspended in his heart just now fell a little.
Ah - good thing it wasn't about that.
Qiao Yanzhou didn't speak any more, turned around pretending to be calm, picked up the phone from the table and glanced at it, it was the WeChat message sent by Gu Zixing just now.
Master Zhou Yu: Are you fine after you go home
"Brother Zixing sent you a WeChat message?"
Before Qiao Yanzhou could reply to Gu Zixing, Qiao Ai asked a question first, and Qiao Yanzhou's eyes naturally shifted from the phone screen to Qiao Aina.
"Um."
Qiao Yanzhou nodded, then put the phone in his pocket and turned back to the room, but just when he was about to close the door, Qiao Ai jumped up from the sofa and chased him in, flashing into Qiao Yanzhou's room The room closed afterward.
A set of movements was swift and swift, unaffected by the slippers on his feet and the pajamas he was wearing, and Qiao Yanzhou was startled the moment he closed the door.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Qiao's mother yelling in the bedroom: "Zhouzi, let me tell you to close the door softly next time, can't you understand people's words?!"
Then the room became quiet again, leaving only Qiao Yanzhou sitting on the bed and Qiao Ai looking at each other.
"Brother," after being silent for less than half a minute, Qiao Ai finally couldn't help but speak first, she walked forward and sat beside Qiao Yanzhou, her voice was very low, "Don't worry, I don't care about the matter with Brother Zixing." Talking nonsense..."
"Small… "
"Brother, listen to me." After interrupting Qiao Yanzhou's words, Qiao Ai's tone suddenly became a little excited, and her hands seemed to unconsciously want to make gestures twice, "I'm not a few years younger than you. I can understand the matter, I really can understand it. Brother Zixing and I have talked about it before, and I can see that he really cares about you. "
Qiao Ai's tone was very sincere. In Qiao Yanzhou's memory, Qiao Ai seemed to seldom speak like this, at least they never did it between siblings.
Unless it was when Qiao Ai really wanted something and asked Qiao Yanzhou to lend her money, her tone was more sincere than now.
"But brother, even if I don't tell you, it's not a good idea for you to hide it from your parents all the time, and it's not fair to Brother Zixing," Qiao Ai sighed, "Why don't you find a chance..."
"Xiao Ai," Qiao Yanzhou shook Qiao Ai's hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I will definitely tell my parents, give me some time."
"En." Qiao Ai nodded, then turned to look at Qiao Yanzhou, "Brother, do you think I'm a little meddling?"
"How could it be?" Qiao Yanzhou waved his hand and said with a light smile, "Actually, Xiao Ai, you can understand me, I am already very content."
"Should be," Qiao Ai also laughed when she said this, she tossed her hair with a smug expression on her face, "It seems that my time with Li Meng and the others wasn't all for nothing."
Li Meng was Qiao Ai's good friend in junior high school, and she would always keep in touch when she was in high school. It is said that this girl is a bit rotten, and she would always tell Qiao Ai some things like homestead rot when she had nothing to do. Qiao Ai was fascinated by it, Gradually, the door to a new world opened.
"Li Meng told me before that you and Liang Dong were gay." Qiao Ai turned her head to look at Qiao Yanzhou, and reached out to pat his arm. "It seems that you are a bit of a good guy."
Qiao Yanzhou didn't say anything, he knew that Qiao Ai was pretending to be relaxed, but deep down in his heart, he must not have recovered from the shocking scene just now.
This is different from reading notebooks and watching AV. If the things mentioned before are all considered as usual entertainment, then the real-life live broadcast like tonight can be included in the ranks of challenging the limit.
"Brother, I have a question to ask you." Qiao Ai opened the door of Qiao Yanzhou's room and whispered to Qiao Yanzhou before returning to the room, "The girlfriends you mentioned before are only Cao Ting and the others. ... Is it real or is it acting with you?"
"Of course it's true," Qiao Yanzhou raised his eyebrows, "No matter how boring I am, I won't find a girl to act as my girlfriend to show my parents."
"Ah~" Qiao Ai supported the door and nodded meaningfully, "Then it seems that Brother Zixing's charm is really great."
After speaking, he closed the door.
"Hey! It's not because of Gu Zixing that I and Cao..."
Seeing her words being ruthlessly shut out by Qiao Ai, Qiao Yanzhou instantly felt mixed feelings, and sat on the bed thinking for a long time.
It seems that if you want to explain these messy things to your parents, you must also organize the language seamlessly.
Qiao Yanzhou couldn't help sighing, and leaned back on the bed, closed his eyes for a while, took out the phone from his pocket, unlocked it, and typed a word into the dialog box that hadn't been answered yet.
YZ Joe: Little Xingxing, I'm so tired...
send.
