Xiao has thought about it for a long time

Not Fu Bei.

I thought it was someone who called, but it turned out to be Tang Yi. Hearing that Qin Si was back, he called to ask about it. He thought Josie was at home at this time, after all, it was so late.

Glancing at the caller ID on the screen, Qin Si pretended not to look at it just now, and instead chatted with Wan San and the others. She knew Tang Yi and had met many times before, but she was not too familiar, just a nodding acquaintance.

When Josie answered the phone, Qin Si said something to the others. Afterwards, Wansan and the others picked up their cars, informed her, and left.

After answering the phone, there were only the two of them left here, and Josie asked, "Aren't you going back?"

He never thought that Qin Si was waiting for him. After all, this person has never been able to do anything. Every time, no matter what he does, he will leave alone after finishing, and there is no one in sight.

Qin Si said: "Stand for a while, let the air blow."

Josie thought that when she came back, everyone might make an appointment to go to sing and drink together, but the show ended after answering the phone, but it was normal, and it was time to take a rest when I came back.

It was windy at night, and the area of ​​the University City was relatively open and flat. Even though there were shops that were open everywhere, it was a little quiet. Qin Si seemed to have something to say, but she was not in a hurry. She was fierce during the day, At night, it was surprisingly mild, not really gentle, except that it was very quiet with Josie, but not with anyone else.

When we first met, Josie didn’t have a good impression of her. It can be said that she didn’t like her very much. After getting along with her slowly, she found that this person was very nice. He dislikes things all day long, whether this is right or that is wrong, but he still teaches patiently and never loses his temper.

After sending her to where she lived, Josie drove back.

Before parting, Qin Si suddenly called her to stop and said, "I don't have anything to do these two days, I have time to come out for a meal."

Really can't speak at all, please eat without asking if others have time, just say that I have nothing to do.

After closing the car door, Josie responded, "Look, I still have an appointment in my shop tomorrow."

Qin Si's expression froze for a moment, as if there was a flash of loss, but the night covered it, and there happened to be a shadow falling where she was standing, so that Josie didn't notice these subtle changes.

The red jeep slowly drove on the busy road, getting farther and farther until it could not be seen.Qin Si stood there for a long time, didn't look over there, only looked at the gate of the school where people came in and out, the night was dark and dense, there were faint lights inside, but he couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, and he couldn't see the end.

The phone rang once and rang again.

When it rang for the first time, Josie looked at the caller ID. It was a string of familiar numbers. She knew who the caller was, but she didn't answer it. catch.

The phone didn't ring for the third time. Fu Bei was too self-conscious and knew her too well. He didn't answer the two calls. Either he didn't see it, or he really didn't want to answer it. In either case, he shouldn't call again.

Josie is not the kind of hypocritical person. If she doesn't want to pick up the phone, she really doesn't want to. She doesn't want to play hard to get. If she gets really annoyed, she will turn off the phone directly. If there is a third time, she may blacklist people.

When she was about to drive to the community, her heart tightened, she straightened her back for no reason, stared at the road ahead, and gradually slowed down the car.It's a pity that I drove to the parking place. There was nothing there, and I couldn't tell what I felt for a moment. Maybe it was a trace of disappointment that shouldn't exist, or maybe it was a sigh of relief.

The moon and stars are scarce in the sky, except for the street lamps that are still on, most of the people's lights have been turned off, and the buildings are dark.

Josie went up alone, took the elevator to the twelfth floor, turned to the door, just passed the corner, and suddenly saw a bouquet of daffodils with white petals and yellow cores in front of the closed door.

Someone came here and knew that she would come back very late, so she left the flowers at the door instead of sending them to the store or the security booth, otherwise she would definitely not be able to get them today.

Josie pursed her lips and roughly guessed who sent the previous flowers. She really didn't want to bring daffodils into the house, but she hesitated for a while, and walked in with her arms in her arms.

It's a pity to throw it away in the trash. Such a fresh and beautiful bunch of flowers will cost hundreds of dollars.

Before going to bed, she unlocked the screen, and inadvertently turned to the call log, which was very short, just a few caller numbers, clicked on the string of numbers without notes, except for the first call from Fu Bei, the rest were all Did not take it.

Suddenly dazed, she opened the drawer of the bedside table and saw the bracelet thrown in there, she frowned, and suddenly remembered something.

It's been too long, the years after the age of 12 are in the blink of an eye, and it's the first year of high school in a blink of an eye.

Josie's memory of reading is neither good nor bad. For her, the school days seemed like that. There were endless papers to memorize and write. Junior high school life seems to be yesterday.

Unexamined, just like that.

When I think about it carefully, the three years are like the first light snowfall in winter, fluttering down from the sky, falling to the ground and melting, melting into the soil, leaving no trace of existence at all.

In the past three years, the relationship between Qiao Jianliang and Qiao's mother has become increasingly indifferent. From the past mutual annoyance to the current indifference, they live under the same roof every day, but they no longer see each other's existence. Fortunately, they don't quarrel anymore. .

When the relationship is broken to a certain extent, even quarreling is a luxury.

Back then, chicken soup was popular on the Internet, and all kinds of buzzwords were overwhelming. One of them roughly meant that two people in love would tell the truth when they quarreled, and whether they loved or not were all reflected in a quarrel.

At first Josie thought it was true, but slowly it became less so.Most of the time, quarrels are for venting, because they are not reconciled, and there is still room for turning around. Even if the words are vicious, they still want to turn back.

Qiao Jianliang and Qiao's mother stopped arguing, and there was no room for turning around.In front of her, the couple became harmonious and friendly, and they could even talk and laugh. Those hoarse voices in the past disappeared in the long river of time, and the initial embarrassment in their throats was finally relieved, and the husband and wife walked on their respective paths.

Once, Josie hid in the corridor and heard the two of them discussing divorce in the living room.

"When Xiaoxi is here, go and get the certificate. It's a matter of two or three years, so we can get together and break up." Qiao's mother said, with a relieved expression on her face.

Qiao Jianliang had no objection, only one request, that Josie should not be informed for the time being.

"Don't interfere with her study."

Mother Qiao was peeling an apple, "I know, I don't need you to remind me."

Then they started discussing how to divide the property, which was really strange. When they quarreled, they fought to the death, but when the property was divided, they calmed down. How many times did couples fight over money, and it was their turn that they were quite harmonious.

Qiao Jianliang made a concession first, and decided to give up most of the real estate to Qiao's mother, and let the lawyers of both parties discuss the rest.

Josie leaned her back against the wall. It was clearly summer, but her fingertips were a little cold. She lowered her eyes, looked down at her toes, and wanted to walk away but didn't move.

Until Qiao's mother's voice came from below again—"Okay, Josie won't follow you, you can divide it as you like, and you don't need to let it go."

The two of them really cared, and they did not forget their daughter when they divided their property. His, hers, and Josie's were clearly divided, and there would never be any entanglement.

Based on this alone, the husband and wife are better than other divorced parents. At least they don’t forget the younger one when they share the money. Die, in the end it was very decent, and they would think of each other.

When Josie went out, they were no longer talking about it.Mother Qiao cut the peeled apples into several pieces, put them on a plate and handed them to Josie, and said softly, "Eat more apples, it's good for your health."

Josie stood still, without a tear in her eyes, but her lips were tightly pressed.

Qiao's mother has returned to her original gentle and loving mother's appearance. She should be happy, but there is no joy in her heart.

During the most violent quarrel with Qiao Jianliang, Qiao's mother almost yelled in front of her, "I don't know what I did in my previous life. I owed you, and now I deserve it for paying off the debt!"

Compared with now, it looks like two things.

During the years of living in the North District, Qiao's mother's kindness was really good. It was a mother's selfless devotion to her child, which can be called maternal love, but now the kindness comes with conditions, which is just a cover-up.

Qiao Jianliang carefully asked about Josie's study status, whether she could adapt to high school, whether she could keep up with the teacher's progress, and so on.Josie is not good at studying, and the couple have already accepted the fact that as long as she doesn't make trouble, she can finish high school and go to college, and the family is not short of money. At worst, she will support her career after graduation.

A few years ago, they were raised free-range, but now they are raised casually.

Josie ate the apple obediently, and went to Fu's next door after eating.

The old lady was watering the flowers in the backyard. Fu Bei was not at home and had gone to class.University courses will be arranged according to the teacher's time. Some professional teachers teach in two schools at the same time, or other force majeure reasons will lead to time conflicts, and some courses will be specially arranged on weekends.

"She won't go home tonight, she will stay at the school, and she should be back in two days." The old lady said.

During his freshman year, Fu Bei did not live on campus, and the compound was far away from Jiangcheng University, which caused a lot of inconvenience. Later, Fu Bei lived on campus.Since then, Josie has often missed the opportunity. She could see her on weekends before, but now she can't even see her on weekends.

She asked for the schedule of Fu Bei's class in the post bar of Jiang University, and sneaked over there.

At that time, Fu Bei was taking a class in 306 of Yijiao, and there was a 5-minute break between classes, and there was someone beside him.

Josie, who is a freshman in high school, has lost a lot of weight, grown taller, and her appearance is gradually opening up, between mature and immature, but she is still small, and she is still very eye-catching among all kinds of students.Fortunately, the professor who was teaching this class was mild-tempered. He noticed that there was an extra person sitting next to Fu Bei. He was only slightly displeased, but he didn't say anything, pretending he didn't see it.

Unexpectedly, she would find her, Fu Bei was taken aback.

Fu Bei had always been used to sitting in the back by himself, which made it easier for Josie to find him quickly, and also made it easier for Josie to do tricks.

A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, she doesn't follow any rules, and she doesn't know what distance is. Before class, she just leaned over to Fu Bei, and almost posted herself on it.

"I have nothing to do, so I came to see you." She said dryly, and glanced at him.

Fu Bei was sorting out his notes, turned his head to look at it, and replied, "There is no class in the next classroom, go there and wait."

"No." Josie refused directly, completely unreasonable, "It's right here, and I won't disturb your class."

Fu Bei ignored it and repeated: "Go to the next door and wait, or go back."

"You're not in the compound, and you don't want to go back." Josie was so thick-skinned, as if she would never give in.

She stayed by Fu Bei's side all these years. At the beginning, she felt uncomfortable when she was rejected, but gradually she refused to accept it. No matter what Fu Bei said, she would go in one ear and out the other. If she said what she wanted, she would listen to it, and if it didn't go well, she would listen. When the wind blows in your ears, it's over.

Fu Bei put on a cold and alienated look, but he never put it into practice, just like he won't really let her leave now, if he doesn't leave, he can only let her stay in the classroom. The fingers curled up slightly.

In the end it was silent.

When the class bell rang, he said in a low voice: "Be safe, don't disturb the classroom order."

Josie succeeded, obediently and quietly.

A class lasts for 45 minutes. Sitting is unavoidably boring. She can’t understand what the professor is teaching, and she doesn’t want to play with her mobile phone. She just lies on the table with her arms pillowed on her head, her two slender bare legs stretched forward. He stretched out, but he accidentally kicked the person in front of him, and was almost stepped on, so he quickly retracted it.

The desks in the university are not one for each person like in high school, but are arranged in rows, even the seats are connected together. She can clearly feel it when she shakes it like this.

Fu Bei paused, turned his head slightly and lowered his eyes to see that the little girl was lying on her stomach nonchalantly, without any consciousness at all.

The weather is too hot, and Josie is wearing shorts. She is thinner now, and the shorts are almost shrunk to the thighs when she sits, but there is still no excess fat. How many times have you peeped.

He is fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body shape and appearance are all closer to adults. If he is not too childish, he really can't tell how different he is from this group of college students.

Fu Bei glanced nonchalantly at the boys around him who were always looking here, their expressions were gloomy and unfriendly, and those people stopped looking here because they were interested.Josie didn't notice it at all, and took out her phone to check the time. Only ten minutes had passed, which was really long and difficult.

"This class is over, is there any more classes?" She asked in a low voice, leaning to the side.

Fu Bei immediately turned sideways, just to avoid her touch, and looked at the podium first, making sure that the professor was not paying attention, and then replied: "There will be more in the evening."

Josie immediately drooped her face. She was in a bad mood and very irritable. She came here just to find Fu Bei to relieve her mood, but she didn't find the right time, but she still obeyed the rules and sat down honestly.

Her life has always been too simple, so simple that she can't find a person to tell her sorrows and joys. When she can't swallow the suffering from her family, she can't help but find someone to distract her. this person.

In the boring time day after day, if you can't find a way forward, you can only pin yourself on others, and her dependence on her is increasing day by day. No one has ever thought about whether this kind of dependence is right, day by day, year by year , It's like scratching on loose cement. Once it's solidified, it can't be changed unless it is smashed and recast.

Josie couldn't help looking at the man, so she sneaked a glimpse out of the corner of her eye.

Fu Bei was too serious, he didn't pay attention to her from the beginning to the end, and took notes while listening to the class.

The handwriting is beautiful, vigorous and powerful, and the strokes are full of strength.

This reminded Josie that when she was a few years old, she learned calligraphy from Li Xunian, and Fu Bei stood behind, teaching her how to write.

I didn't think there was anything at that time, but now I think about it deeply, and I can recall every move. Fu Bei's hands are cold, bigger than hers, and they can be easily wrapped around her. Occasionally, her mind is distracted. This person It will stop, and remind me with a straight face to be serious and not to use two things at once.

For some unknown reason, the more she thought about such a beautiful and tender scene, the more awkward Josie became. She tilted her head and stared straight at Fu Bei's distinct profile. Maybe something was on her mind, and her ears suddenly felt hot.

Perhaps, she was crooked in her bones, and she was born like this.

But at the time, I didn't understand it, and I couldn't find out what it was like. It was just subconscious. When Fu Bei put down his hand and felt for the drawing ruler under the table, she reached out and grabbed Fu Bei's two fingers suddenly. .

The little girl's face was innocent and innocent, she tilted her head and whispered, "Fu Bei..."
