I just want to be a good person

Chapter 248 Goodbye
"Hey, Xiaoquan, what's the matter?"

Soon, Qi Mingkai's lazy voice came from the microphone.

Zhu Yao took a deep breath: "Xiao Qi, can you come see me off?"

"Send you off? Where are you going?"

Qi Mingkai was stunned for a moment, and then yelled: "Could it be that you and Shen Wang are going out to play again?! Did you tell me before you left???"

"Give the phone to Shen Wang! I want to..."

"No Shen Wang, just me."

Zhu Yao interrupted: "I'm at the airport now, I'm going to the imperial capital soon."

"Go to the imperial capital? What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to Tsinghua University for an exchange semester, and I'm leaving today."

"What???"

Qi Mingkai shouted in disbelief: "No, why didn't I know about this? Shen Wang didn't tell me either! You two..."

While talking, Qi Mingkai seemed to suddenly understand something, and his tone suddenly became hurried.

"Little, Xiaoquan, you wait for me, I'll be there right away!!"

"Dang dong, crackling..."

There was a noise from the other end of the phone, and then accompanied by the sound of closing the door with a "boom", Qi Mingkai finally hung up the phone in a panic.

Listening to the blind voice of "beep beep", Zhu Yao put away her mobile phone, sat quietly in her seat and waited for Qi Mingkai.

On her wrist, she still wears the watch that Shen Wang and Qi Mingkai gave her with money five years ago on her birthday, oh no, it should be six years now.

But I don't know if it's because the battery hasn't been changed for a long time, the second hand that has been beating hard for six years, suddenly stopped at this moment.

It seemed a little reconciled, and it trembled up and down several times vigorously, but it still couldn't reach the next scale, and finally had to succumb to fate and never move again.

……

In a taxi speeding on the airport expressway, Qi Mingkai cursed and pressed the phone that was not connected for the nth time.

"Shen Wang, what the hell...Master, hurry up!"

"Young man, it's going to be speeding soon..."

Before the driver finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice prompt in his ear.

"Ding~ Your Alipay has received a transfer of [-] yuan."

"...Young man, sit down! It doesn't matter whether you have money or not, I mainly see that you are really in a hurry!"

After pressing the accelerator to the bottom, the taxi suddenly went faster, but Qi Mingkai was not in the mood to pay attention to this at the moment, and his mind was full of thinking about what to do later.

Obviously, it is impossible to go to Tsinghua University for an exchange whenever you want, at least Zhu Yao has already decided before the holiday.

According to the normal situation, with Zhu Yao's personality, she would definitely be the first to tell Shen Wang and herself, but this time she kept it a secret for so long, there must be something else hidden.

And this secret... Qi Mingkai thinks that Zhu Yao could only know about Shen Wang and Lin Xiaocao.

Sin ah.

It's not that he never thought such a day would come, but he never thought it would come so soon.

"squeak!"

The tires rubbed against the ground and made a long tail sound. The taxi had just stopped when Qi Mingkai, who was disheveled, rushed down and went straight to the departure hall.

After all, it was only a small airport, and the whole departure hall was not big, so he saw that very familiar figure from the back at a glance.

"Little circle!"

Ignoring the strange eyes of the passengers around him, Qi Mingkai hurriedly shouted and ran over.

And Zhu Yao also turned her head slowly, with a faint smile on her face, which even made Qi Mingkai think that he had guessed wrong for a while.

"You, why didn't you tell us about your exchange at Tsinghua University?"

Panting and sitting next to Zhu Yao, Qi Mingkai tentatively asked: "Where is Shen Wang? He doesn't know yet, does he?"

Zhu Yao nodded: "Well, he doesn't know."

"Then why didn't you tell him?"

"Little Qi..."

Zhu Yao said calmly, "I already know about Lin Xiaocao."

"..."

Qi Mingkai fell silent for a moment, and Zhu Yao looked at him for a while before smiling and asking: "You actually knew it a long time ago, didn't you?"

"Xiaoquan, listen to me..."

"Don't tell me, I don't blame you."

Zhu Yao interrupted suddenly, her nose trembling: "I know you are afraid that I will be sad..."

"call……"

Qi Mingkai heaved a long sigh, his eyes were full of sincerity: "... Xiaoquan, let's have a good chat with Shen Wang."

"He really likes you, I'm very sure of that, otherwise I wouldn't hide it from you."

"I know……"

Zhu Yao murmured, then stared at Qi Mingkai and asked, "But so what?"

"Will he break up with Xiaocao for me?"

"..."

Qi Mingkai fell silent again.

He didn't answer the question.

Not because he didn't know the answer, but precisely because he already knew it.

After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Xiaoquan, but you have to come back. You can't hide from Shen Wang all your life, right? How will you face him then?"

"I have not decided yet……"

Zhu Yao's eyes suddenly became lonely.

"But I think we should be strangers by then."

stranger.

These three words pierced into Qi Mingkai's heart like a needle.

Shen Wang and Zhu Yao are the two most important people in his life, even more than the mother who went abroad for more than ten years and never came back, and the father who didn't see him at all.

He originally thought that the three of them would be good friends for life, but he never thought that they would part ways before half of their lives.

Qi Mingkai felt uncomfortable, but he also knew that Zhu Yao felt even more uncomfortable.

"Little Circle..."

Opening his mouth, the old scumbag who has been in the flowers for nearly ten years can't say a word of comfort at this moment.

He didn't even know who to blame for all this.

It's true that Shen Wang likes Zhu Yao, and it's even more true that Zhu Yao chose to leave...

The two sat opposite each other in silence until the boarding reminder sounded on the radio.

"Dear passengers, flight SC2931 to the Imperial Capital has started boarding, please take this flight..."

"Xiao Qi, I have to leave."

Zhu Yao stood up and suddenly opened her arms.

"give me a hug."

"..."

Qi Mingkai forced a little smile, and hugged Zhu Yao tightly.

But when the two separated, he couldn't help it anymore, a tear slid down his angular cheek, then smudged on the collar and disappeared.

It was the first time he had shed tears in at least ten years.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing!"

Zhu Yao took a step back with red eyes: "Don't cry! You make me want to cry too...But, but I managed to hold back..."

"Who said I cried! I got sand in my eyes!"

Qi Mingkai turned his head: "Hurry up and go, I will go to see you in the imperial capital when I have a chance."

"Uh, uh huh..."

Zhu Yao choked with sobs, turned around, dragged her suitcase and walked towards the security check without looking back.

She walked faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally turned into a trot.

The oncoming wind blew away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then she heard a farewell resounding throughout the hall.

"Xiaoquan! Take care!"

……

On the plane, the stewardesses in black silk are reminding passengers one by one to turn off their mobile phones, put away the small table and other precautions before taking off.

At the last moment, Zhu Yao stared at the dialogue with Shen Wang, dazed.

She knew that Qi Mingkai would tell Shen Wang the news of his departure soon, and in this way, at least Shen Wang would not worry about whether he lost contact.

She didn't want Shen Wang to worry about herself, but right now she was extremely worried about Shen Wang...

However, there is no other choice.

Silently typed the last four words in the dialog box and sent.

then……

"Do you want to delete this friend?"

"whether"

"..."

"Yes"

Zhu Yao slowly closed her eyes as the avatar that had been at the top of the conversation column since she registered on WeChat disappeared.

12 years, so it's over.

[Shen Wang, goodbye. 】
