Yama

The other party was an elder, and Ji Qiao upheld the most basic etiquette to greet him, but the tone of Old Master Yan's tone was far from harsh, only distant indifference.

"Is Yan Cheng not here?"

Ji Qiao didn't expose Old Master Yan's knowing question, but said, "Go out."

The old man said "um", he spoke very slowly, not so much in a leisurely manner, but more as if he was waiting for Ji Qiao to speak, but Ji Qiao stopped talking after that, and there was a sense of tension between the two of them immediately. There was a stiff silence, and the old man was a little dissatisfied.

"Do you think his company will start?"

It was very funny to ask this question, Ji Qiao still looked outside, they lived on the fourth floor, this is not a new residential area, just Ji Qiao can lie down and see two thrushes hanging from the balcony of the opposite building , Thrush was locked in a cage, chattering and flying up and down, wanting to get out very much.

"what do you think?"

Old Master Yan was not satisfied with Ji Qiao's calm tone, and said coldly, "It's up to you."

Ji Qiao paused, and slowly looked away, leaning on the bed frame to sit up, "I don't care if there is any company, and Yan Cheng probably doesn't care, but you are calling me, are you in a hurry? ?”

The old man didn't expect that when he came home last year, the quiet, quiet and restrained child would be so harsh when he opened his mouth. It was obvious that he didn't mean to be soft, so he didn't intend to be polite anymore.

"You are not in a hurry, because you are still living a good life. You have food, housing and books. Although F University is not as good as your father's, it is still better to find a job to support yourself after four years of study in u city. Enough, you think so, right?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Ji Qiao's expression darkened immediately, not because Mrs. Yan's words were sarcasm, but because he mentioned Ji Xiaoze, which was telling Ji Qiao that they had already cleared up everything about him and his background It's clear.In fact, this is not surprising, and it is not difficult to predict. The way the Yan family uses to deal with Ji Qiao and Yan Cheng now is to boil frogs in warm water. People have spent a period of time in peace, renting a house, going to college, and barely finding a part-time job. It seems that the future is faintly shining brightly, as if you can have a future if you work hard.

But in fact, the control has never been in their hands. It is completely easy for the Yan family to crush them to death. The reason why they didn't do it immediately is that the young man Gu Nian is so bloody that he directly drove them to a dead end. It’s not necessarily that they will break the pot and die together. What the Yan family wants is a good son, so they plan to use reality to polish their tempers a little bit, so that they can see for themselves that apart from the so-called love, the cruelty of society is not as good as ours. Help, without our letting go, where did you come to survive, all kinds of difficulties and hardships are enough to consume those insignificant feelings, there is no unchanging love, and there is only self-righteousness in the ivory tower.

When you see the reality clearly and discover your own stupidity, you will naturally return to the right path obediently.

Of course, this is a process that takes time. Of course, Mrs. Yan and Yan Hongzuo understand Yan Cheng's temper. He was able to say the "threat of self-degeneration" before he left, which shows the determination he made at that time. It must not be that easy for him to realize his mistake and turn around. Yan Hongzuo doesn't mind waiting, and it won't be too late to completely accept his son's heart, but Old Master Yan, like Grandma Yan, can't see Yan Cheng being wronged. Forget it, seeing him struggling and suffering in various predicaments, how can it be so easy, but Old Master Yan and Grandma Yan are different. Although Grandma disapproves of Ji Qiao, she tries her best not to complain, but the old master can be seen by outsiders. He is not so soft-hearted, so in order to speed up Yan Cheng's awakening, it is necessary to strike a heavy blow at the right time. Of course, the target will definitely not be Yan Cheng.

Ji Qiao disappeared as the old man wished, and the old man was quite satisfied with this, "You are a smart child, you shouldn't let your family down, who in this world has never made mistakes, but there are still opportunities to correct some mistakes. There's still time, turn back as soon as possible, don't end up like your father in the end..."

Hearing Ji Xiaoze's name again at this moment, Ji Qiao's eyes were slightly dazed, followed by a deep sorrow, this is an expression he would never show in front of others, he quickly closed his eyes, gritted his teeth tightly, The lower jaw was so hard that even the lips trembled faintly.

Old Master Yan thought that he should be able to successfully deal with this kid this time, but when he was about to hang up the phone, he heard a faint voice from the phone, "I didn't make a mistake, and in my heart, Ji Xiaoze will never be wrong..."

The old man was taken aback, and immediately his chest burst into flames. He has been in a high position for so many years and he should be able to control his temper properly, and he thinks he has completely dealt with such a yellow-haired boy, but at this moment, Ji Qiao is so angry that his beard is raised. Get up, and immediately said harshly, "Then don't regret it..."

Hearing the beeping sound on the phone, Ji Qiao couldn't maintain the strength in her waist and abdomen, her body went limp, and she slid off the side of the bed. She accidentally knocked her head on the bedside table, making a loud muffled sound.Ji Qiao endured the black mist in front of her eyes, panted continuously with her pale face, and it took a while for her trembling body to calm down slowly.

And when Yan Cheng walked in with breakfast, what he saw was Ji Qiao lying at the foot of the bed without moving.

Yan Cheng was so frightened that he immediately ran over, picked him up and wanted to run to the hospital, but Ji Qiao slowly opened his eyes and told him to put him back on the bed in a deep voice.

He was not hurt anywhere, but he was too tired, both physically and mentally.

No matter how much Yan Cheng persuaded Ji Qiao, he was unwilling to go for a checkup, so he ran to heat up the porridge he bought, and fed it to Ji Qiao spoonful by spoonful. He served tea and poured water, wiped his face and hands, his face was full of regret and pain, but no matter how much he apologized, Ji Qiao just lowered her eyes and said nothing, as if she thought Yan Cheng was invisible and transparent.

Yan Cheng was anxious, but there was really nothing he could do about the situation for a while, he only knew that he had gone too far this time, and if Ji Qiao was about to get angry, he held back and coaxed him, waiting for the day when the other party finally calmed down.

……

Although she really didn't want to ask for leave, Ji Qiao's body really couldn't sustain the amount of activity she had in the past, and after resting at home for two days, she returned to school for normal classes under Yan Cheng's strong opposition.

After entering the class, I saw Cui Chong sitting in the first row. Cui Chong also stared straight at Ji Qiao. There was still an empty seat beside her, but Ji Qiao didn't go there. She turned around and sat down in the last corner of the classroom.

After class, Ji Qiao was going to the library, but a person stopped him.

Cui Chong's eyes were full of bitterness, and he wanted to say a lot, but to Shang Jiyou's indifferent eyes, all explanations were blocked in his mouth, and in the end he could only hold back a sentence: "The counselor just said something two days ago. I'm looking for you, let you come and go over there."

Ji Qiao nodded, took her things and left, leaving Cui Chong looking at his stumbling back complicatedly and unwillingly.

After arriving at the department office, Counselor Li was talking to the counselor of class (3) next door. She left Ji Qiao there for more than ten minutes before turning her head to look at her. It's not very good, but it doesn't sound particularly mean, but after thinking about it, it's not polite.

The counselor said, "Ji Qiao, how long has it been since you participated in party activities?"

Ji Qiao was taken aback for a moment, as if she hadn't had it since before the summer vacation, she agreed at the beginning because of the recommendation of Mrs Wu, Ji Qiao didn't care too much about it, but his habit is that since he has already done it, he definitely won't Confused, but this matter was indeed his negligence.

Ji Qiao said softly, "I forgot."

The counselor shook his head, his tone dissatisfied, "Your mind is not in school, I can see it, the class cadres don't want to do it, and they don't participate in organizational activities, so what's the point of studying in college?" There is only one exam a year, especially In the first two years, Ji Qiao's excellent grades are of course not as outstanding as before in the attached high school. What the university wants is a more comprehensive and diversified student development. Don't be like this kind of hard-educated student who doesn't know how to communicate and doesn't want to get close to classmates. People who don't help the teacher, children like Ji Qiao, are the most unlikable. Even if the counselor still cares about his school grades at the beginning, after coming and going, the goodwill is almost worn away.

Seeing Ji Qiao's unresponsive face, the counselor was even more unhappy, "If you don't want to join the party, just tell me, there are some students waiting behind, if you don't know how to cherish, it's a waste for you."

After finishing speaking, he pulled out another document from the side and threw it in front of Ji Qiao, "One more thing, the number of places for work-study programs in the department is very tight. I have seen your situation and called your guardian. Your living conditions are not difficult, much better than some children from the countryside. Some of them can’t even pay the tuition fees, and you still have spare money to rent a house outside. It is absolutely not advisable to occupy student resources like this. "Then, without waiting for Ji Qiao to argue, he took a pen and stuffed it into his hand, "You fill out this canceled form, don't make it difficult for the teacher, I always have to explain to other students and school leaders."

The latter sentence was serious, and Ji Qiao also understood the deep meaning in it. He hesitated for a moment, and then slowly wrote.

After leaving the department office, Ji Qiao walked all the way towards the school gate, and after walking for a long time, she realized that her mobile phone was calling. She picked it up and saw that it was Yan Cheng calling.

Ji Qiao stared at the two names, without moving for a long time, the phone rang and rang and hung up, it lasted for a full ten minutes, even the passing students cast strange glances.

Finally the noisy voice stopped, and the next moment came a message from Yan Cheng, "I have something to do and I can't come back for dinner. Are you feeling better? Do you want me to bring you some takeaways? Remember to go to bed early, no need wait for me."

Ji Qiao stared at the message for a long time before pressing delete, and then put the phone back in her pocket.

He was obviously very tired, but Ji Qiao didn't go home. He wandered on the road and looked at the job advertisements posted on the doors of many stores. There were real estate agents, dishwashers, and auto repair apprentices. They seemed to be able to make ends meet, but they didn't want part-time jobs. .

Ji Qiao walked and walked, it was already dark, and he was getting farther and farther away from the school, and finally came to a bustling street. He sat down on the bench and was about to take a rest when he saw a man and a woman walking out of the cafe opposite.

The boy is tall and the girl is beautiful. The two kept talking, the boy nodded from time to time, and the girl smiled like a flower.

The boy reached out to hail a taxi, and after the girl got in, he opened the door from the other side and got into the car. The car stopped for a moment and left.

Ji Qiao silently looked at the direction in which the taxi was going away, and didn't move for a while.
