Qiao Yan Xiao Yu

"Blu, blu..." In the early morning, the cell phone next to the pillow yelled frantically.

It's been four years, and I've changed my mobile phone several times, but I still don't want to change this weird ringtone.

Qiao Luoyan fumbled by the bed for a long time before he found the phone and yawned, "Hey, senior sister, can you change your habit of calling early in the morning?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Han Sheng immediately crackled and said: "When I was in school, I called you at [-]:[-] noon and you said it was early in the morning. What is your definition of early morning? You haven't woken up so late. , don’t you go to work? Be careful that your wages will be deducted. Although your job is good, you have to be a little self-motivated..."

"Stop, stop, you called me early in the morning just to do ideological work with me?" Qiao Luoyan rubbed his brows and interrupted Han Sheng's eloquent words.

"Oh, I just want to inform you that I'm getting married." Han Sheng immediately put on a serious tone.

"What!" Qiao Luoyan jumped up from the bed and plucked his ears, "Are you going to get married? I heard it right!"

"Well, next month, on the 18th."

"That kid Wen Junqi really dares to marry you."

"What did you say!"

"Sister, I wish you happiness."

"Stupid boy." Han Sheng smiled, "You're old too...it's time to have a girlfriend..."

"Sister!" Qiao Luoyan interrupted Han Sheng.

Han Sheng on the other end of the phone sighed softly, and it took him a long time to say, "You still want to land on Lu Xiao?"

"Besides, I'm still young, aren't I?"

"Jun Qi is not more than two years older than you and is going to marry me. Although it is said that late marriage and late childbearing are advocated now, it is not panic to get married at your age, but you must have a girlfriend. Look at you now...you are like this Going down is not a solution..." Han Sheng began to persuade him earnestly again.

Four years since Lu Xiao disappeared inexplicably, Han Sheng watched Qiao Luoyan gradually cool down and become numb from the bewildered look at that time.

When Lu Xiao couldn't be found, Qiao Luoyan lost his soul, as if Lu Xiao disappeared with his soul at that time.

Later, about a month or two later, Qiao Luoyan recovered, eating and drinking normally, laughing when he should laugh, cursing when he should scold... No matter how happy he is, the smile never reaches his eyes.

Han Sheng still remembered that it was the first time Qiao Luoyan mentioned Lu Xiao proactively after Lu Xiao disappeared, but his expression and tone did not show any changes in his feelings for Lu Xiao in the past year, and he was still so persistent. Persistently believe that Lu Xiao is just being willful, Wanwan disappeared, and will come back soon.

Qiao Luoyan was forced by reality to leave the "place" where Lu Xiao was waiting.

After that, Qiao Luoyan seemed to give up completely, believing in the fact that he would never come back again.

Although I believed it, I could never forget it or let it go.

"Sister, I'm going to work." Qiao Luoyan's words brought Han Sheng back to reality.

Han Sheng coughed lightly: "That's fine, remember to come on time next month."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Luo seriously lay down on the bed again, turned his head and glanced at the framed photo on the bedside table, it was the only photo of him and Lu Xiao together, it was taken by a foreigner under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France.

In the photo, Lu Xiao pursed his lips and smiled happily, while he was standing on Lu Xiao's shoulder, his silly eyes almost disappearing.

Four years later, every time someone mentioned this name in his ear, his heart still throbbed slightly.

Are you still thinking about Lu Xiao?

Still thinking?

be there.

I think he seems to have become a habit in the past four years.

When I woke up, I looked at the photo next to the bed and started thinking about him. I kept thinking about the company, and then I went into work like crazy. I didn’t dare to stop. When I stopped, I would think about it. Knowing every fragment and detail of this year, in four years I recalled it countless times.

What is Lu Xiao doing now?

Do you also think about yourself in front of the photos?

When I disappeared without saying a word, did I get tired of myself or did my brain tumor surgery fail?

Qiao Luoyan shook his head, he would rather Lu Xiao changed his mind and fell in love with someone else before he chose to leave quietly, at least he is still alive in a corner of the world that he doesn't know.

He must have had reasons to leave.

Even if there are difficulties, after four years, I should have forgotten myself.

Some people always say that people who have never loved will become crazy and persistent once they fall in love.

After meditating on the bed for a long time, Qiao Luoyan got up and changed clothes, washed his face and mouth, and made breakfast...

Every day is like repeating yesterday and previewing tomorrow.

Qiao Luoyan wanted to try to recall how he survived without meeting Lu Xiao in the past 20 years. Habits are really a terrible thing.

Before meeting Lu Xiao, he was used to life without Lu Xiao, and he still lived happily every day.And when that person broke into his life, after only a year of getting along, he could no longer get used to the life without him.

Qiao Luoyan drove the small battery he bought with his first salary, rode to the door of the company and locked it, and then answered the non-stop ringing phone of "Blue Blue".

"mom?"

"Son, are you going home on May Day?"

Qiao Luoyan hesitated for a moment. Since the Chinese New Year was over this year, he hadn't been back home. If he didn't go back this time, he might have to wait until the National Day.My home is actually not too far from my work place, at least a little closer than my school. I used to take a train for more than ten hours to go home from school, and I promised to go back every year during the winter and summer vacations. Now that I work, I go home every year The number of times can't be less than during school.

"Go back." Qiao Luoyan said.

Hearing her son's affirmative answer, Mother Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, with uncontrollable excitement: "Okay, okay, come back and make you your favorite tamales..."

"Well, good. I'm going to work first."

Qiao Luoyan turned on the computer and booked a ticket for the early morning of May [-]st in his free time.

……

……

"Mom, I'm back." After taking a plane for two hours and taking a bus for more than an hour, it was almost noon when I got home, and Qiao Luoyan's voice seemed a little tired.

"Uncle, you're back!" Qiao Xiaohan bounced to the entrance to greet Qiao Luoyan.

Qiao Luoyan still remembered that when he brought Lu Xiao home for the first time, Qiao Xiaohan greeted him bouncing like this.

It's been four years, Qiao Xiaohan was admitted to a key university in this city last year, and now the noisy little girl has grown into a slim girl.But this lively and active character doesn't seem to have changed much.

However, Qiao Luoyan is no longer the uncle who likes to oppose her like before.

Qiao Xiaohan felt that since the summer vacation after Lu Xiao and Qiao Luoyan went to the playground four years ago, Qiao Luoyan had changed, became very calm, became very serious, and the knot between his eyebrows seemed to have never been untied. opened.

Qiao Xiaohan didn't know that Lu Xiao left four years ago, let alone how Qiao Luoyan survived these four years.Of course, I don't know how Qiao Luoyan will go on in the future.

Qiao Xiaohan only thought that her brother-in-law had worked and understood the principles of society, and the edges and corners of the real society had been smoothed out little by little.

Qiao Luoyan sighed, and stroked Qiao Xiaohan's hair, "Why are you here again?"

"It's May Day. I'll come and see my fourth wife."

"Oh."

Qiao Xiaohan pouted dissatisfiedly, "Uncle, you are not as fun as before!"

"Men, you should be more calm." Qiao Luoyan smiled lightly.

"Uncle, the fourth wife has a big sister coming tomorrow, um, she said she is the one to introduce to you."

"Huh? Is it?"

"Actually, I also stopped you for a while, saying that you are still young and not in a hurry, but the fourth wife is in a hurry, and that the eldest sister this time is the daughter-in-law she identified, and I want you to meet her no matter what. ..."

"Oh."

Facing Qiao Luoyan's calm reaction, Qiao Xiaohan couldn't be calm anymore, "Uncle, don't you like men...that, eh? Lu Xiao...are you still together?"

Since Qiao Luoyan started working, Qiao Xiaohan had fewer chances to contact his uncle. Except for the New Year and holidays when everyone sat together and chatted about family affairs, most of Qiao Xiaohan had no chance to meet Qiao Luoyan, nor did he have the chance to inquire about his personal affairs. .So a little unintentional talk touched a minefield.

"Who said I like men!" He just likes Lu Xiao.

Qiao Luoyan frowned, and didn't give Qiao Xiaohan a chance to ask any more questions. He got up and walked into the kitchen, talking to Qiao's mother who was cooking.

"mom……"

"Huh?" Qiao's mother was stirring the dishes in the pot, trying to get Qiao Luoyan away who was in the way: "I'm going to eat soon, go wash your hands."

Qiao Luoyan took a few steps back, stepped back to the kitchen door, and leaned against the door frame: "Mom, do you want to introduce someone to me?"

Mother Qiao was stunned for a moment, but she knew that her son was very disgusted with such activities as blind dates. Since she would know sooner or later, Mother Qiao did not dare to look her son in the eye, but she still said with joy in her tone: "Yes, this is The niece of my high school classmate just graduated from college last year, and she looks very beautiful, I also showed her your photo, and the girl is very satisfied with you, so I plan to invite her to come to my house for dinner tomorrow."

"Forget it..." Qiao Luoyan was unexpectedly not angry, but just refused lightly.

"What?" Qiao's mother stopped what she was doing, as if she was a little unhappy: "You said, you are 25 years old, and you have never been in a relationship. Are you ashamed to say it? Look at Xiaohan's father, who is a university student. He got married right after graduating, and he seems to call you uncle even if he is your age."

"Mom, now the country advocates late marriage and late childbearing..."

"I don't care whether it's late or not. Even if you get married now, it's time for late marriage, right?"

"Now there are a lot of people who are not married in their 30s, don't they?"

"Our family tradition is that once the job is settled, it is time to consider lifelong events."

"..."

Qiao Luoyan couldn't say no to Qiao's mother, so she could only bear it silently.
