Qin Fang didn't stay there for the New Year, he stayed there for a few days and then left.
The house has been repaired and the yard gate has been repainted. Before they left, they had a meal together, Si Tu couldn't drink, he was in poor health recently. All that could be drunk left, and the rest, including Qin Fang, didn't have much, so he didn't drink.
Even though they didn't drink, they chatted happily, eating a meal for more than three hours.
In the middle of eating, Gong Qi went in and got Si Tu a coat for him to wear, saying that the wind was a bit chilly. These two people have always been in that state, they don't look like lovers, but they are closer than friends. Qin Fang didn't ask much. There are thousands of kinds of relationships between people. They are all personal choices, and they all have a reason for existence.
Si Tu said to him: "If you feel bored and have nowhere to go, you can come here. It doesn't matter if you stay for a long time. I will cook noodles for you."
Qin Fang clinked glasses with him, both of them had drinks in their glasses, Qin Fang said, "Okay."
After a while Qin Fang said to him, "Be healthy."
Si Tu waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I haven't been healthy for a few days."
Han Xiaogong took a photo of Qin Fang, and he just put down his phone when Qin Fang looked up. Qin Fang raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"
Han Xiaogong smiled: "I will keep a souvenir."
Qin Fang said: "Then you should have said it earlier, I'll put on a handsome face."
"That's not necessary." Han Xiaogong said, "Truth is the most important thing."
In fact, Qin Fang could probably guess what he was doing to take pictures, but he didn't ask much, just shook his head and smiled, and said, "Tell me in advance next time, don't take ugly pictures."
"You doubt my skills? It's definitely better than your posing, do you want to see it?" Han Xiaogong said "tsk".
"No, you are a professional." Qin Fang said with a smile.
Han Xiaogong said: "One picture is enough, no more."
Qin Fang nodded and said "Yes".
The day Qin Fang left was sunny, and Gong Qi drove him to the airport. After work, I seem to be much more mature than before, and also talk more than before. Now that they are sitting together in the car, she is not as reserved as before, and she is no longer embarrassed.
Gong Qi caught a cold and sneezed.
Qin Fang took out a piece of paper and handed it to her, Gong Qi smiled and said thank you.
Qin Fang curled his lips and said nothing.
"Actually, I owe you a formal apology." Gong Qi said suddenly.
Qin Fang didn't expect her to mention this, and was quite surprised, after all, they were a little embarrassed because of this matter. Qin Fang waved his hand and said, "There's nothing to apologize for, it's over."
Gong Qi said: "Every time I see you, I feel a little embarrassed, frank or something, it's all just pretending."
Qin Fang smiled: "Don't worry about it."
"You are so kind, I didn't think so at the time, but later on you got to be with Brother Yan, and the more you got to know each other, the more you felt that you were too naive at that time, and you were a bit too reckless at the time, to meet me." Gong Qi lowered the window of the car Half way, to get some air out of the car.
Qin Fang still smiled and asked, "Isn't it too late to issue the good card now?"
Gong Qi didn't speak, Qin Fang said again: "Don't really worry about it, it's been too long, I don't hold grudges."
In fact, Qin Fang has never hated Gong Qi very much, she is not an offensive girl when getting along with her, on the contrary, she is quite comfortable getting along with her. She really doesn't look like a person who hangs on both sides, which is also very contradictory. If she was really that kind of girl, she wouldn't have been with Si Tu for so long, and even her job was fixed here. Up to now, there are quite a few people chasing her, and the conditions are much better. She has too many choices to find, but she still lives an ordinary life here. But what happened back then was real, believe it or not, it happened.
Qin Fang didn't ask her why she did that, it was too embarrassing to ask.
Instead, it was Gong Qi who said it herself. She looked at Qin Fang and laughed at herself: "Now that I think about how sick I was back then, it's like a mental retardation."
Qin Fang couldn't answer this, he couldn't always say yes, but he couldn't comfort him from his standpoint.
Gong Qi said: "At that time, you were the most qualified among the people who chased me. You were very popular in school and handsome, so I picked you."
Qin Fang didn't make a sound and listened to her.
"I... have been chasing Si Tu for more than a year, and we have a good relationship after we got together. But he is always indifferent, and his feelings are buried too deeply. "
She was quite right about this point, Qin Fang nodded.
"During that time, he mentioned breaking up, but he didn't give me a reason. If it's because the relationship is gone or something, it's easy to accept giving me a reason, but he knew he had feelings, and he said in his eyes that he was reluctant to talk about breaking up. , it's very annoying."
"I was pretty good at that time, and I didn't suffer from this kind of anger. People chase me all the time. If I'm in love, people don't coax me. If I chase him, he still wants to break up with me. It doesn't make sense."
Gong Qi smiled self-deprecatingly when she said this: "I just want to find someone to stimulate him, and I'm really angry. I think he should turn around when he knows that I'm really going to be chased away."
Qin Fang said, "I happened to show up?"
Gong Qi nodded: "You are so unlucky. I was just using you at the time, and I would not agree to you at all, but you are so kind, and I felt so guilty afterwards. I didn't do this, and I felt that It's too sick, it's too bad to use other people's feelings as your own bargaining chip."
"So you deliberately let them know that I was chasing you." Qin Fang raised his eyebrows.
"Yes," Gong Qi sighed, "I don't want to continue to use you, it's too uncomfortable. I just want Si Tu to know that if he is not well, I will really leave. But I didn't expect Zhou Siming to find you, this I really didn't expect that."
Qin Fang was laughed at, he was too memorized. And I didn't expect this to happen. Those things that were so disturbing at that time have now become a short story like a joke, which is only very interesting to listen to.
Qin Fang asked her: "So what? Did you recover afterward?"
Gong Qi shook her head, and smiled wryly: "Didn't you know Brother Yan later? You should know."
Qin Fang said: "Actually, I don't know what your relationship is until now."
Gong Qi thought for a while, then said softly: "It's a relationship that will never be together. The few of them..."
She spoke halfway, and then continued after pondering for a moment: "They have heavy thoughts. You say they are selfish, but they don't think about themselves. They think too much, deep and far, but they won't give you what you want, because they have no idea what it is that you want."
Qin Fang didn't speak for a long time, thinking about her words and those people.
Later, he glanced at Gong Qi and asked her: "Then why don't you leave? Since we will never be together again, what are you doing here?"
Gong Qi asked Qin Fang for another piece of paper, wiped her nose, and spoke with a strong nasal voice because of the cold. She smiled lightly: "I won't leave. It may be unbelievable to say it, but I really like it very much... I like it very much. Sometimes I hate him for not being with me, and giving me such a heavy affection, I hate why he is not really as awesome as he shows, then I am free and easy."
Qin Fang only found out today that he had never seen this girl, and of course he had never understood Si Tu.
"I won't leave." Gong Qi repeated this sentence again, she took a deep breath, let it out again, and said slowly, "Look, they are all gone, and Xiao Gong will go too, just Left to himself. It's too lonely, all that's left is loneliness, I won't leave him alone. Actually, I don't like the weather here at all, it's too humid, and there's no winter, I'm more used to our side But it’s just like that after living for a long time, and I gradually got used to it. It’s good to be with him like this, but when you can’t see him, he doesn’t like to smile very much, he’s very tired.”
With just a few words, in fact, Qin Fang couldn't understand the ties between them. Si Tu was the most incomprehensible person, and his feelings could not be grasped by others. But some content can still seep out from the voice, Qin Xin feels a little depressed, and at this moment suddenly feels that Gong Qi is not easy.
The thin shoulders are also trying to carry something, which makes people feel very solid.
Before putting down the car, Qin said to her, "Come on."
Gong Qi smiled, and her eyes rolled when she laughed: "Come on, too, and I'll apologize to you, because you know them because of me. I don't know if it's good or bad for you to know them. I'm sorry, I'm really, really sorry. If I do it all over again, I'm sure I won't be so naive, because my selfishness brought this up."
She didn't speak directly, but Qin Fang heard that she was feeling guilty for the ending between him and Xing Yan.
Qin Fang shook his head and said "no".
He hesitated for a moment, but still raised his arms to hug Gong Qi, giving her a vague hug. Maybe it's because of what she said just now, or maybe I don't want to hear her say sorry.
After letting go, Qin Fang said seriously: "This is not a pity. Knowing them and each of them is a gift to me. Every encounter is romantic, and the result is not that important. And I believe This paragraph is destined to be there, not because you will have other arrangements."
"This is really not to comfort you," Qin Fang smiled, "I always feel lucky to know him, thank you."
Qin Fang got out of the car after speaking, waved his arms at her with a smile, then turned and left.
He was a backpacker again this winter, and he went to many places after leaving them. He doesn't know when he fell in love with this purposeless journey.
He went to the mountains to photograph the stars, and went to the island to listen to the waves.
On New Year's Eve, he stayed in a B&B, a completely wooden building. He was lying on the roof, which had a moderate slope. Qin Fang rested his head on a high place, and there was a starry sky above his head. There were many stars this night, and there was something vast and romantic.
The phone kept vibrating in his pocket, and the New Year greeting messages came in one after another.
Qin Fang took out his mobile phone and answered a few messages that were not sent in groups. I went to a few more groups to grab a few red envelopes, and gave out a few more.
The circle of friends is also very lively, there are people posting the New Year's Eve dinner, fireworks, etc., and the whole circle of friends is full of warmth.
Qin Fang swipe down casually, feeling the festive atmosphere of other people's homes. Take a look at what dishes each family has, they are similar, and I feel a little tired after seeing too much.
Suddenly, when I swiped to a certain item, I stopped my finger and the screen also froze.
—A profile picture with a black background, a motorcycle.
This avatar has almost never appeared in his circle of friends.
Posted a photo of the starry sky, one of which is particularly bright.
Another word, simple and simple.
— Happy new year.
Qin Fang looked at this one for a long time, and liked that one before picking up his phone.
