Pei Qingfei felt that she had long since let go. When she grew up, she would naturally be able to understand the dilemma of her parents, but for some reason, she still felt moved when she recalled Qi Cheng's cry.
Pei Qingfei leaned against the wall and wrapped the quilt around herself, which seemed to make her feel warmer.
"Dangdang."
Suddenly, there was a knocking sound, which made Pei Qingfei startled.
"Dangdang."
Two more times, Pei Qingfei looked back at the warm yellow wall behind her.
This was a trick he used to play when he was in school, Pei Qingfei quickly wiped away her tears and lightly buttoned it as a response.
The opposite side got a response, and immediately became more active, just listening to the constant knocking sound, as if moving forward little by little along the wall.
Pei Qingfei followed the voice and walked forward, step by step to the window.
Pei Qingfei understood what Qi Cheng meant, she opened the window, leaned out, and saw Qi Cheng standing by the window in the quiet summer night, waving to herself with a smile.
She likes Qi Cheng's smile the most, it always gives her warmth and hope.
For fear of disturbing the adults, Qi Cheng gently said to Pei Qingfei, "I love you."
I love you too.
Before Pei Qingfei could say anything, she burst into tears.
Because she was worried that Pei Qingfei would be too dangerous to lean against the window, Qi Cheng waved her hand and asked her to stand inside, but Qi Cheng herself leaned halfway outside.
As if to comfort his lover, Qi Cheng pulled out a cardboard from behind him like a magic trick, with Qi Cheng's handsome font on it. In order for Pei Qingfei to see clearly, Qi Cheng probably had to trace it dozens of times.
There are only three words on this one.
[I love you.]
After Pei Qingfei saw it clearly, Qi Cheng opened the next one.
[wait for me.]
Pei Qingfei burst into tears and nodded with all her strength.
The summer night in Lingjiang, this is a silent agreement made by two people.
When the Qi family and the Pei family get together again, it will be two days later.
Although they lived in Fuhua Community for half their lives, they did not only own this property. After the incident, the two families tacitly separated Qi Cheng and Pei Qingfei and went to other residences under their own names.
The four of them gathered together as usual, but it was the first time that they were so quiet.
In the end, it was Pei Shifang who broke the deadlock.
"Let's discuss it." Pei Shifang said.
Someone started this conversation, and the conversation naturally went a lot smoother.
The Qi family and the Pei family exchanged the content of the conversation with their children in the past two days. After speaking, they were surprised to find that the two children's statements were different, and they both took the responsibility on themselves.
The children they gave birth to, they are confident and understand.
The Qi family thinks that Pei Qingfei has a quiet temperament, and it is true that she will not do anything rude as Qi Cheng said, so they tend to think that this incident is caused by Qi Cheng, but the Pei family also understand that Pei Qingfei is like her. Character, if she didn't want to, no one could easily change her mind, and Pei Qingfei's words that night had realistic logic in it, so Pei's mother felt more guilty about her friend.
"This, this... "Mother Qi really didn't know what else to say, but the two children showed a bit of sincerity.
Mother Pei's eyes turned red again, she turned to her side and said sorry, and finally wiped her tears gently.
Lao Qi sighed aside, he had already given up smoking when he was in love with his wife, but today he picked it up again, and it was rare that Qi's mother didn't say much.
Pei Shifang saw that everyone was caught in a vicious circle of self-blame, so he had to stand up and say to everyone, "Today, it's not who is to be held accountable. When something like this happened between the two children, we as parents can't get rid of it. Now we just say way, think about what to do next."
Qi Lian snuffed out half of the cigarette in the ashtray. He looked up at Pei Shifang, "Shifang, you have the best idea. You must already have an idea, so just say it."
Pei Shifang looked at the Qi family and his wife, "Did Qi Cheng tell you about the academy?"
The Qi family was stunned.
Every time Qi Cheng came back from vacation, he would chat behind his mother Qi, talking about what happened in the school, trivial, no pain or itching, but according to the understanding of Pei Shifang for many years, he was definitely not referring to these.
Pei Shifang continued, "I also have friends in Qingbei. Although they are not from the School of Architecture, they may be able to inquire about some news."
The Qi family listened intently.
"Qingbei School of Architecture conducts international inter-school exchanges every year, and candidates are selected after the end of the junior year, so Qi Cheng should have a chance. It stands to reason that she is just in the summer vacation of the junior year. Based on her grades, the college should I said hello to her, I don't know if she ever mentioned it."
The Qi family and his wife had understood this, and Pei Shifang suggested that they send Qi Cheng abroad.
Such an important matter was learned from the mouth of a good friend. The Qi family was a little shocked. Qi Cheng was really tight-lipped about going abroad to communicate with them. He didn't mention a word.
The other party didn't have time to speak, Pei Shifang continued, "Of course I won't put the blame on Qi Cheng, I also have arrangements for Qing Fei, I want to send her to country A, she likes news, she always has to go out and get in touch with the latest international news. idea."
"Only, is this the only way?" Qi Lian asked.
Although he had spoken harshly to his daughter before, but said that he wanted to throw Qi Cheng into a strange country without any psychological preparation, and start an unplanned journey, Father Qi couldn't help himself.
Pei Shifang couldn't understand Qi Lian's mentality, which is also a father. He sighed and said, "Both of them, we both grew up watching them, and we can't tear them apart by force, but will push them more and more. The farther away, I think only time and distance can separate them. They are still young, and their relationship is uncertain. Maybe after a long time, the distance will fade, and then they will naturally separate. ."
Mother Pei looked at her husband and murmured, "What if time and distance don't work?"
Pei Shifang sighed and said, "At least you will gain some ability to live and live."
Everyone stopped talking, sending the two of them abroad was just a big gamble, and the winner or loser was unknown.
Qi's mother was a little worried, "In the future, it's up to them to choose, I'm afraid of my family, hey, it doesn't make sense."
Pei Shifang said, "I'll do their work."
Qi Cheng has been lying in bed all day. The layout of the new home is no different from the original one, except that the mint green that she once regretted was replaced by warm yellow, which looked as comfortable as Pei Qingfei's bedroom.
Her mobile phone was taken away, and Qi Hong was not immune to being implicated by her. The door was unlocked, so she could go out at any time, but where could she go when she went out? Can't even meet.
She was lying on the bed too lazy to move, Qi Hong was watching TV in the living room, changing the channel in turn, and he changed the channel before he could hear a few words. With this sound, Qi Cheng fell asleep again, but when he woke up, he It was awakened by Qi's mother.
What should come will always come, Qi Cheng knows that they will always have to talk to him.
Two pairs of parents are sitting in front of him, one is his biological parents, and the other is someone who treats her like his own, and even raised him as a daughter when he was a child.
Facing these closest people, Qi Cheng felt that she couldn't arm herself, she wanted to be with Pei Qingfei, but she also didn't want to hurt these people with too decisive attitude.
Let's talk, let's talk openly and honestly.
Qi Cheng sat at the table, the two mothers did not participate, leaving only the fathers opposite Qi Cheng.
"Qi Cheng, look at this first." After Pei's father finished, he motioned for Qi's father to show Qi Cheng what he had just faxed.
Qi Cheng took it and saw what the adults were thinking after looking at the table.
"You want to send me abroad?" Qi Cheng asked.
"It's not just you, Qing Fei is the same." Pei Shifang said frankly.
Qi Cheng smiled, "Think this will separate us? I really don't think it's necessary."
Although Qi Cheng didn't say anything too drastic, she showed some resistance. She never thought about going abroad. This road was not in her plan.
"Are you not confident in your relationship?" Pei Shifang smiled.
Qi Cheng looked at the exchange plan of Qingbei School of Architecture faxed in his hand. After a while, he raised his head and said to Pei Shifang, "We will not be separated. Will you respect our choice?"
Pei Shifang didn't nod or shake his head, "Let's talk in two years."
Qi Cheng was quiet.
She took something and went straight into the room.
The Qi family was a little surprised. They were a little surprised that their daughter was so easy to get the job done.
Pei Shifang didn't find it strange at all. Qi Cheng's happy compromise did not reassure him, but made him even more worried.
"Let's go back first." Pei Shifang said to his wife.
Mama Pei nodded and glanced at Mama Qi.
They have been good friends for more than 20 years, and they have never been so embarrassed as at this moment.
"Xuning, that, let's go first." Mother Pei said.
Qi's mother sent the person to the door and said goodbye.
A lot of things, probably can't go back.
Pei Qingfei was at home alone, tidying up her room, and washing her clothes. When the Pei family couple came back, she greeted her as usual.
After solving Qi Cheng, Pei Shi made trouble with his daughter.
This girl probably won't learn a word in her entire life, so she will settle for the next best thing.
Just like grabbing a doll when she was a child, give Qi Cheng a new doll, and she will reach out to pick it up, but Pei Qingfei, she will only want the one she originally wanted, and there is no way to change it.
Pei Shifang didn't know whether he wanted his plan to work or not. They all gave up, or none of them gave up. But if one of them gave up, but the other persisted, what would happen? Pei Shifang had a hunch that once When this kind of thing happens, the party who insists is in all likelihood his own daughter.
He loves Pei Qingfei, and he is willing to do his best to guard her and protect her all his life, so that she can be safe and smooth throughout her life.
There is no parent in this world who doesn't love their daughter, and Pei Shifang is the same. He never wanted Pei Qingfei to be hurt.
