Lost [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 22
Once some thoughts surfaced, no matter how big the storm was, they would not be able to overcome them, and instead would involve more thoughts.
Qiao Nanqi thought about it.
And want to see Zhao Rong even more.
He parked the car, put the Rubik's Cube into the grid in front of the passenger seat, and went upstairs.
The lights upstairs and downstairs were turned on with his movement, and the lights were so bright that they were as noisy as real, but there was no sign of anyone else in the whole villa.
Every part of the home is kept neat and tidy at the beginning, and the European-style decoration makes all this cold and silent.The blankets on the sofa in the living room were folded in all directions, there was no change on the coffee table, and the bedroom was even more empty. You didn't need to touch it to know that there was no temperature under the quilt.
Obviously, Zhao Rong did not come back.
Qiao Nanqi has almost strict requirements for cleanliness. Even if all the things in the house are used, they must be returned to their original places after use.
From the first day Zhao Rong moved into his house, he was very sensible in this respect, unlike a young master who always takes care of the trivial things in life, and always consciously puts away the traces of life.
But at that time, Qiao Nanqi was satisfied with his understanding, but now he couldn't even tell if Zhao Rong had come back.
Qiao Nanqi's rather hasty pace unconsciously slowed down.
He glanced at his phone - there were many unread messages, none of which were from Zhao Rong.
No matter when you turn on your phone, you can see the news of Zhao Rong, who was still very casual at the time, but now he changed the serious note to Zhao Rong, but the note disappeared and never surfaced again.
He flicked his fingertips up and down, opened the chat box and closed it again, he hesitated after closing it, opened it again, and saw the phrase "I'm not coming back" that Zhao Rong sent him again.
After going back and forth like this for a while, Qiao Nanqi still closed the chat box.
If you don't come back today, it's impossible not to come back later.
He turned off the screen and walked into the study, as usual, intending to light the agarwood and do something else.
But before Qiao Nanqi's hand touched the lighter, his gaze first met the thin layer of dust on the shelf.
He paused for a moment before he remembered that the family hadn't called a part-time worker for nearly a week.
These things have always been done by Zhao Rong.
When Qiao Anqing just passed away, He Nan wished that he would disappear with him. Some of the servants at home were bullying and afraid of being tough. He noticed that He Nan's attitude was not good to him who was still young at that time.Qiao Nanqi couldn't live anymore and moved out, but he became wary of these servants because of this, and even now he doesn't like having housekeepers and servants living in the house.
In the past, even when he was free, he called the part-time worker to clean up, and he himself had to watch from the sidelines.
Later, Zhao Rong moved in, and unconsciously, these matters were gradually handled by Zhao Rong very properly.But these things are too trivial and subtle. He has been busy in and out for more than a year, and he didn't spend much time at home, so he didn't pay attention to them at all.
And Miss Li.
Before he came back for dinner, Zhao Rong would always tell Sister Li what dishes to prepare and when to start cooking.
Zhao Rong was not at home, and the people who hadn't dealt with these matters suddenly appeared one by one, and they couldn't press it.
Qiao Nanqi was very obsessed with cleanliness, but he paused for a moment, and somehow, he still lightly touched the layer of ashes that had fallen on the shelf because no one had cleaned it.
His fingertips were immediately covered with fine dust.
The rustling touch came, and the dust on his fingertips immediately aroused Qiao Nanqi's subconscious disgust, making him wish to wash away the shallow layer of dust immediately and get rid of his unpleasant emotions.
——It was very similar to the feeling when I found out that Zhao Rong was not at home.
He suddenly lost interest in burning incense.
Late autumn took another step forward.
After a few days of clear skies, there was another burst of rain.
These few days can be said to be Zhao Rong's most "depressed" but also the happiest days in these years.
A long time ago, with everything going according to the plot of "Return", He Nan, Chen Ze and the villains and cannon fodder in the original book had already suffered a crushing defeat, and Chen Zehe came to him that day in a desperate struggle.And on the day Zhao Rong returned to the company, Chen Zehe was taken away for investigation because of the messy things he did before. He Nan couldn't hold back the development of the situation at all. Their old Chen family was really over at this moment.
As the matter spread, some of Liu Shun's people tentatively came to ask him about his situation, and their words were mostly pitiful - after all, in their view, the bankruptcy of the Chen family meant Zhao Rong's downfall.
But only Zhao Rong knew that more than anyone else, he wanted to see the garbage of the Chen family go to where it is today.
This means that he has no shackles from now on, and the sky is high and the sea is wide.
The name "Zhao Rong" no longer belongs to a surname that has no relationship with him.
Even if he didn't have the half of the legacy Mrs. Chen left him, it's not like he really knows nothing. There's really no other way, he just picks up what he learned in his previous life and learns it again.If Qiao Nanqi really killed them all, and included him in the category of Chen Ze and those people, he would naturally not be the opponent of the world's leading male protagonist, and it would not be impossible to start from scratch.
What's more, the current Qiao Nanqi looks like a gentleman's ex-boyfriend.
In the gossip, everyone thought that Zhao Rong would lose his mind, be nervous and afraid, and like Chen Zehe, would put down his dignity and beg for help in a senseless way, but Zhao Rong did not.He didn't pay any attention to those drinking and meat friends who he avoided in the past, but just replied "it's okay" to Liu Shun who sincerely asked him if he was okay.
Not only was he okay, he was also very happy.
As if he was really just a small cannon fodder in these ups and downs, he made a small debut, and then nothing happened to him.
He's just living his life.
Zhao Rong has been going to the company regularly these days.
Instead of pretending to dawdle in the company like before, the biggest thing every day is trying to see Qiao Nanqi in the company.
Every day, he is taking advantage of the good opportunity to look at those project materials that cannot be seen outside, and he will ask Xiao Wu about some places.
And after leaving the company in the evening...
Zhao Rong was holding an umbrella, and under the umbrella stood a girl with long black hair and wearing a dark blue shirt and long skirt.
This girl has a pair of big round eyes, an oval face, and a slight smile. Standing in the rain, she looks a bit elegant and elegant.
In front.
Lu Xingping was wearing a pure black hooded sweater, and the trousers were the most common denim style. The trousers were neatly folded up at the ankles. Walking in the university town, he could blend in with the students with a schoolbag on his back.
He walked out holding an umbrella, and the pure black long-handled umbrella covered the upper half of his face.
The rain slid down from the ribs, forming a hazy rain curtain.The water splashed on the ground splashed again, but it took only time to walk through the aisle of the small courtyard, and the folded trousers were still soaked by water droplets.
When he walked up to Zhao Rong, he finally raised his umbrella slightly, revealing his gentle and gentle face.
The handle of the umbrella moved slightly forward.
Lu Xiaoyue ran a few steps from Zhao Rong's umbrella to Lu Xingping's umbrella, grabbed Lu Xingping's arm, and said, "Brother, it's raining heavily, let's go in first."
Lu Xingping glanced at her, then looked at Zhao Rong, and smiled: "Zhao Rong, come in and sit down first, it's raining so hard, it's not safe to drive."
It's rare that he couldn't talk.
Sure enough, it was different with Lu Xiaoyue around.
Zhao Rong naturally couldn't refuse: "Then I will trouble the senior."
Lu Xiaoyue tilted her head towards him, then followed Lu Xingping and turned to go into the house.
Zhao Rong followed closely behind.
Zhao Rong would send Lu Xiaoyue home today, which is really not an accident—although it was an accident in the eyes of Lu Xingping and Lu Xiaoyue.
He originally went to the company, partly to learn something for later use, and more, to get in touch with Lu Xingping who would go to the company to pick up his sister.
But today, when it was time to get off work, the rain didn't get smaller, but got bigger.When Zhao Rong went downstairs, she happened to see Lu Xiaoyue who was waiting for the driver.
He and Lu Xiaoyue had met a few times a long time ago, they were not familiar, but they knew each other.
So Zhao Rong stepped forward and asked Lu Xiaoyue why she hadn't come home yet.
It turned out that Lu Xingping seemed to have some patients whose consultation time exceeded expectations, so he had to arrange for the driver to pick them up first.But when the driver received the news, it was already peak season, and it was raining heavily. The driver was stuck on the road and couldn't get around.Not to mention the time to get off work, even in normal times, with such heavy rain, it is difficult to get a taxi in the location where the head office is located.
Lu Xiaoyue just waited downstairs in the company without embarrassment.
It happened to be bumped into by Zhao Rong.
Without further ado, Zhao Rong offered to send Lu Xiaoyue home.
But he didn't expect Lu Xingping to be at home.
Lu Xiaoyue went upstairs with Lu Xingping holding the hot coffee that Lu Xingping made for her. Zhao Rong sat down on the sofa and took the hot water from Lu Xingping.
Looking at the curling steam coming out of the cup, he actually had the thought of "it really is plain water again".
Zhao Rong: "..."
"You seemed surprised when you saw me?" Lu Xingping sat down on the other side and asked casually.
"Huh?" Zhao Rong didn't expect her emotions to be seen so easily, "Because Ms. Lu told me that the senior was busy with work, she didn't come to pick her up...I thought the senior was not at home."
Lu Xingping pointed to a closed door next to the piano room.
"I work here."
Zhao Rong looked along and blinked slowly.
"I'm not a workaholic like Nanqi. I generally don't care about our company's affairs except major ones. My main job is a psychologist."
He leaned lightly on the back of the sofa, "Patients usually come to my house. The piano room is placed on the first floor because sometimes music is also my tool. You can understand that I opened a studio and just happened to work. The living room is at home. So I am usually at home, but now, you sit for a while and go back, I will go out soon."
Zhao Rong understood, and at the same time, a hint of envy rose in her heart.
The male protagonist's white moonlight is indeed the male protagonist's white moonlight.
Although Lu Xingping was not as deep and bright as Qiao Nanqi since childhood, he was still a dazzling person after all.
When he was young, he tried his best to turn the tide of his own business, but now he is a shopkeeper and a psychologist at home.He and Qiao Nanqi have completely different personalities, but they both do as they please.
Fortunately, his little cannon fodder is now heading towards such a life.
It was raining too much outside, Zhao Rong was not in good health, and his hands were cold.
The temperature of the hot water passing through the cup made him very comfortable. He held the water cup in both hands, sat cautiously, and said, "How do seniors usually charge? It also helps me relieve stress."
He was joking, just to start the conversation.
At this time, ordinary people will definitely say something like "What pressure do you have?" Zhao Rong can talk about the work of the past few days, the life that has been changing all the time, and many things.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingping gave him a meaningful look and said, "Didn't I guide you when you came to my house last time?"
Zhao Rong was taken aback.
"I gave you that book."
It turned out to be about Qiao Nanqi.
That's right, in the eyes of people like Lu Xingping and Xia Yuantu who are close to Qiao Nanqi, he, the illegitimate son recognized by the Chen family halfway through, is an idiot, ignorant, and still has a lot of oceans in his mind—toad I want to eat swan meat, I like Qiao Nanqi.
"I seem to have told my senior that I broke up with Mr. Qiao." In fact, they are divorced - after all, the marriage agreement has been signed.But he and Qiao Nanqi never had a formal legal relationship from the beginning to the end, and Qiao Nanqi never wore the wedding ring he bought. Their relationship over the past year or so is really not worthy of this term.
At best it was a breakup.
"I remember," Lu Xingping raised his eyebrows, "It's just that from this moment, you seem to be a little more determined than I thought. Didn't you read that book after you brought it home?"
"I've seen it."
"Many people will read favorite works over and over again."
"why?"
"Because I read it several times, maybe there will be different interpretations. When I read books in the past, my taste was very picky, and I rarely liked books, so once I saw one that closed my eyes, I would read it several times."
"I'm not that kind of person." Zhao Rong paused, slowed down his tone, and seemed to break up each word, "I've watched something I like very much. No matter what the ending is, I don't want to say it." Will watch it a second time.”
Xia Yuantu searched around, and only then saw the protagonist of today's celebration banquet by the Yiwang viewing pool on the edge.
With the sound of rain, Qiao Nanqi was standing under the eaves before the heavy rain. As long as he took a step, he would be surrounded by majestic heavy rain.
But Xia Yuantu looked at Qiao Nanqi's back against the light, and obviously couldn't see Qiao Nanqi's expression, but felt that Qiao Nanqi was not looking at the rain, but really wanted to plunge into the rain.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Yuantu stepped forward and stood beside Qiao Nanqi, only to realize that some of the rainwater from outside the eaves had washed over him, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Qiao Nanqi: "..."
"Xingping was delayed by the patient for a while. I called just now and said that I will leave immediately. Everyone is here. Let's celebrate the good day that you get what you want. Don't stand on this kind of mushroom." Xia Yuantu couldn't see Qiao Nanqi's words clearly. Looking at the expression, I can only see the side face of this person with light moles at the end of his eyes—it seems a little gloomy, "Old Qiao, you have been acting strange these days."
Today's celebration banquet was said to be a celebration banquet, but it was actually a gathering of some of their friends to celebrate Qiao Nanqi's successful achievement of his goal, which made He Nan unable to stand up from now on.
He and Qiao Nanqi have known each other since childhood, and he is very clear about the grievances between Qiao Nanqi and He Nanqi.
Back then, Qiao Anqing, Qiao Nanqi's mother, could be said to have been forced to death by He Nan.Qiao Nanqi watched Qiao Anqing commit suicide by jumping off the building with his own eyes. Since then, he and He Nanqi have been at odds, and it can even be said that it is life and death.For this day, many threads have been buried over the years, and Qiao Nanqi, who has never lowered his head, even took the initiative to show weakness several times in order to let He Nan relax his vigilance.
Xia Yuantu knew too well how long Qiao Nanqi had been waiting for this day.
But those who didn't know about Young Master Qiao's state thought he was regretting breaking up with his father.
Qiao Nanqi's state is definitely wrong.
But Qiao Nanqi has always been a character who is bored in his heart, and he won't tell if he asks, Xia Yuantu simply doesn't ask.
Something was also wrong with Zhao Rong.
In the past few days, everyone in the circle knew about Chen Ze's troubles with those crap.Everyone is saying that the Chen family is over, and Zhao Rong, the illegitimate son, will have nothing.
But Zhao Rong seemed to have encountered some happy event. He came to the company every day without saying anything, and seemed to be in a good mood every day. Sometimes he would catch Xiao Wu and even ask him some work-related questions.
The young master, who should have been content, looked at Yu Mu absent-mindedly, while the idiot, who should have lost his soul, was in high spirits every day.
"Still standing? Go—"
"I don't have any thoughts." Qiao Nanqi, who had been silent all this time, interrupted him suddenly.
Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken for too long, Qiao Nanqi's voice was still a little hoarse, mixed with the sound of continuous rain, it seemed like a low hum.
"You play, all the expenses today will be reported to my account."
After saying that, he turned around, picked up the windbreaker jacket hanging on the side, turned around and left - without an umbrella.
Xia Yuantu didn't even react for a while, and he didn't dare to stop Qiao Nanqi.
When he came back to his senses, Qiao Nanqi's figure had disappeared around the corner.
"It's weird... One is more abnormal than the other..."
Qiao Nanqi didn't hear him muttering to himself.
He didn't even hold an umbrella, so he put on his windbreaker and rushed directly into the rain.When he got in the car, the windbreaker was already soaked, and the water droplets slipped from the tips of his hair and dripped down his cheeks.
The air conditioner in the car turned on automatically, and it was warm.
Qiao Nanqi still felt a little cold.
Zhao Rong didn't come to today's party.
He deliberately asked Xiao Wu to reveal to Zhao Rong that they had a party here tonight.
But Zhao Rong didn't seem to know, no one came, and there was no news.
No, it should be said that since the day Zhao Rong didn't come home, he hasn't sent him any messages at all.
When Zhao Rong first proposed the word of breaking up with him, he always thought that Zhao Rong was just arrogant because of his favor.
In the past, he didn't even have to do anything, and Zhao Rong would take the initiative to come over and admit his mistakes.
Now Zhao Rongxing probably wants more, but he doesn't want Zhao Rong to leave, and he is willing to give more. Zhao Rong will definitely come back by himself.
But Zhao Rong still did not.
Qiao Nanqi drove home again by himself.
He is still alone in the family.
Just like before Zhao Rong moved into his house, it was empty and unpopular, not like a home.
The dust falling on some high cabinets was piled up without being wiped, and the trash cans in the study and living room were filled with waste paper and garbage.No one paid attention to these things from the day Zhao Rong left, as if they were telling Qiao Nanqi how long Zhao Rong had been away day after day.
It's been so many days.
Zhao Rong wasn't trying to break up with him to get angry with him, nor was he asking for it by leaving.
Zhao Rong has moved away seriously, and up to now, he has no intention of contacting him or moving back again.
But he just discovered that he still hopes that Zhao Rong will be by his side in the future.Just like before.
Qiao Nanqi could actually recall the mood and details of every time he saw Zhao Rong, but he had never recalled it before, never knew that he remembered it so clearly.Looking back a little at this moment, I can think about the root cause of everything in an instant.
He didn't like Zhao Rong mingling with his friends in front of him, he didn't want to see Zhao Rong getting close to other people, he didn't like Zhao Rong interacting with that group of dudes, and he didn't want to see Zhao Rong who was half drunk with flushed cheeks and those People hook their shoulders...
When he saw Zhao Rong, he wanted to bully him according to the other party, and he liked to use the most primitive method of declaring sovereignty...
No matter what you like to see or what you don't like to see, in fact, these tendentious requirements naturally hide an obvious but elusive word: "later".
If there is no future, he will not care about what he likes and what he hates.
——He seemed to have always tacitly assumed that Zhao Rong would always be by his side.
He is the person who least believes in eternity.
He never paid too much attention and energy to Zhao Rong. After Zhao Rong left, everything between them just stopped at Zhao Rong's unilateral love and the marriage agreement that was exchanged for benefits a year ago.Zhao Rong has always been approaching.
He felt that it was impossible for Zhao Rong to leave.This cognition has been integrated into the long-term age, and it has become a fact that cannot be changed. He doesn't need to worry about it.
Looking back now, when I first met Zhao Rong, I looked at him with obvious to almost substantive admiration. Every time we met after that, Zhao Rong only saw him more and more.Very obedient, very obedient, very... invariable.
Maybe the kitten who has always been well-behaved will also be a little temperamental and demanding.
He took out his mobile phone and pressed Zhao Rong's number.
He personally brought Zhao Rong back.
Zhao Rong only likes him, has liked him for many years, even if he leaves, there will be no one else he likes.
Zhao Rong is still very soft-hearted, nostalgic for old love.The first time they met, it was just a charity on the spur of the moment by Qiao Nanqi, and Zhao Rong remembered it from the age of 14 to the present.
He went there in person, it is impossible for Zhao Rong not to come back.
Qiao Nanqi thought about it.
And want to see Zhao Rong even more.
He parked the car, put the Rubik's Cube into the grid in front of the passenger seat, and went upstairs.
The lights upstairs and downstairs were turned on with his movement, and the lights were so bright that they were as noisy as real, but there was no sign of anyone else in the whole villa.
Every part of the home is kept neat and tidy at the beginning, and the European-style decoration makes all this cold and silent.The blankets on the sofa in the living room were folded in all directions, there was no change on the coffee table, and the bedroom was even more empty. You didn't need to touch it to know that there was no temperature under the quilt.
Obviously, Zhao Rong did not come back.
Qiao Nanqi has almost strict requirements for cleanliness. Even if all the things in the house are used, they must be returned to their original places after use.

It was raining too much outside, Zhao Rong was not in good health, and his hands were cold.
The temperature of the hot water passing through the cup made him very comfortable. He held the water cup in both hands, sat cautiously, and said, "How do seniors usually charge? It also helps me relieve stress."
He was joking, just to start the conversation.
At this time, ordinary people will definitely say something like "What pressure do you have?" Zhao Rong can talk about the work of the past few days, the life that has been changing all the time, and many things.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xingping gave him a meaningful look and said, "Didn't I guide you when you came to my house last time?"
Zhao Rong was taken aback.
"I gave you that book."
It turned out to be about Qiao Nanqi.
That's right, in the eyes of people like Lu Xingping and Xia Yuantu who are close to Qiao Nanqi, he, the illegitimate son recognized by the Chen family halfway through, is an idiot, ignorant, and still has a lot of oceans in his mind—toad I want to eat swan meat, I like Qiao Nanqi.
"I seem to have told my senior that I broke up with Mr. Qiao." In fact, they are divorced - after all, the marriage agreement has been signed.But he and Qiao Nanqi never had a formal legal relationship from the beginning to the end, and Qiao Nanqi never wore the wedding ring he bought. Their relationship over the past year or so is really not worthy of this term.
At best it was a breakup.
"I remember," Lu Xingping raised his eyebrows, "It's just that from this moment, you seem to be a little more determined than I thought. Didn't you read that book after you brought it home?"
"I've seen it."
"Many people will read favorite works over and over again."
"why?"
"Because I read it several times, maybe there will be different interpretations. When I read books in the past, my taste was very picky, and I rarely liked books, so once I saw one that closed my eyes, I would read it several times."
"I'm not that kind of person." Zhao Rong paused, slowed down his tone, and seemed to break up each word, "I've watched something I like very much. No matter what the ending is, I don't want to say it." Will watch it a second time.”
Xia Yuantu searched around, and only then saw the protagonist of today's celebration banquet by the Yiwang viewing pool on the edge.
With the sound of rain, Qiao Nanqi was standing under the eaves before the heavy rain. As long as he took a step, he would be surrounded by majestic heavy rain.
But Xia Yuantu looked at Qiao Nanqi's back against the light, and obviously couldn't see Qiao Nanqi's expression, but felt that Qiao Nanqi was not looking at the rain, but really wanted to plunge into the rain.
"What are you doing here?" Xia Yuantu stepped forward and stood beside Qiao Nanqi, only to realize that some of the rainwater from outside the eaves had washed over him, "Do you want to take a bath?"
Qiao Nanqi: "..."
"Xingping was delayed by the patient for a while. I called just now and said that I will leave immediately. Everyone is here. Let's celebrate the good day that you get what you want. Don't stand on this kind of mushroom." Xia Yuantu couldn't see Qiao Nanqi's words clearly. Looking at the expression, I can only see the side face of this person with light moles at the end of his eyes—it seems a little gloomy, "Old Qiao, you have been acting strange these days."
Today's celebration banquet was said to be a celebration banquet, but it was actually a gathering of some of their friends to celebrate Qiao Nanqi's successful achievement of his goal, which made He Nan unable to stand up from now on.
He and Qiao Nanqi have known each other since childhood, and he is very clear about the grievances between Qiao Nanqi and He Nanqi.
Back then, Qiao Anqing, Qiao Nanqi's mother, could be said to have been forced to death by He Nan.Qiao Nanqi watched Qiao Anqing commit suicide by jumping off the building with his own eyes. Since then, he and He Nanqi have been at odds, and it can even be said that it is life and death.For this day, many threads have been buried over the years, and Qiao Nanqi, who has never lowered his head, even took the initiative to show weakness several times in order to let He Nan relax his vigilance.
Xia Yuantu knew too well how long Qiao Nanqi had been waiting for this day.
But those who didn't know about Young Master Qiao's state thought he was regretting breaking up with his father.
Qiao Nanqi's state is definitely wrong.
But Qiao Nanqi has always been a character who is bored in his heart, and he won't tell if he asks, Xia Yuantu simply doesn't ask.
Something was also wrong with Zhao Rong.
In the past few days, everyone in the circle knew about Chen Ze's troubles with those crap.Everyone is saying that the Chen family is over, and Zhao Rong, the illegitimate son, will have nothing.
But Zhao Rong seemed to have encountered some happy event. He came to the company every day without saying anything, and seemed to be in a good mood every day. Sometimes he would catch Xiao Wu and even ask him some work-related questions.
The young master, who should have been content, looked at Yu Mu absent-mindedly, while the idiot, who should have lost his soul, was in high spirits every day.
"Still standing? Go—"
"I don't have any thoughts." Qiao Nanqi, who had been silent all this time, interrupted him suddenly.
Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken for too long, Qiao Nanqi's voice was still a little hoarse, mixed with the sound of continuous rain, it seemed like a low hum.
"You play, all the expenses today will be reported to my account."
After saying that, he turned around, picked up the windbreaker jacket hanging on the side, turned around and left - without an umbrella.
Xia Yuantu didn't even react for a while, and he didn't dare to stop Qiao Nanqi.
When he came back to his senses, Qiao Nanqi's figure had disappeared around the corner.
"It's weird... One is more abnormal than the other..."
Qiao Nanqi didn't hear him muttering to himself.
He didn't even hold an umbrella, so he put on his windbreaker and rushed directly into the rain.When he got in the car, the windbreaker was already soaked, and the water droplets slipped from the tips of his hair and dripped down his cheeks.
The air conditioner in the car turned on automatically, and it was warm.
Qiao Nanqi still felt a little cold.
Zhao Rong didn't come to today's party.
He deliberately asked Xiao Wu to reveal to Zhao Rong that they had a party here tonight.
But Zhao Rong didn't seem to know, no one came, and there was no news.
No, it should be said that since the day Zhao Rong didn't come home, he hasn't sent him any messages at all.
When Zhao Rong first proposed the word of breaking up with him, he always thought that Zhao Rong was just arrogant because of his favor.
In the past, he didn't even have to do anything, and Zhao Rong would take the initiative to come over and admit his mistakes.
Now Zhao Rongxing probably wants more, but he doesn't want Zhao Rong to leave, and he is willing to give more. Zhao Rong will definitely come back by himself.
But Zhao Rong still did not.
Qiao Nanqi drove home again by himself.
He is still alone in the family.
Just like before Zhao Rong moved into his house, it was empty and unpopular, not like a home.
The dust falling on some high cabinets was piled up without being wiped, and the trash cans in the study and living room were filled with waste paper and garbage.No one paid attention to these things from the day Zhao Rong left, as if they were telling Qiao Nanqi how long Zhao Rong had been away day after day.
It's been so many days.
Zhao Rong wasn't trying to break up with him to get angry with him, nor was he asking for it by leaving.
Zhao Rong has moved away seriously, and up to now, he has no intention of contacting him or moving back again.
But he just discovered that he still hopes that Zhao Rong will be by his side in the future.Just like before.
Qiao Nanqi could actually recall the mood and details of every time he saw Zhao Rong, but he had never recalled it before, never knew that he remembered it so clearly.Looking back a little at this moment, I can think about the root cause of everything in an instant.
He didn't like Zhao Rong mingling with his friends in front of him, he didn't want to see Zhao Rong getting close to other people, he didn't like Zhao Rong interacting with that group of dudes, and he didn't want to see Zhao Rong who was half drunk with flushed cheeks and those People hook their shoulders...
When he saw Zhao Rong, he wanted to bully him according to the other party, and he liked to use the most primitive method of declaring sovereignty...
No matter what you like to see or what you don't like to see, in fact, these tendentious requirements naturally hide an obvious but elusive word: "later".
If there is no future, he will not care about what he likes and what he hates.
——He seemed to have always tacitly assumed that Zhao Rong would always be by his side.
He is the person who least believes in eternity.
He never paid too much attention and energy to Zhao Rong. After Zhao Rong left, everything between them just stopped at Zhao Rong's unilateral love and the marriage agreement that was exchanged for benefits a year ago.Zhao Rong has always been approaching.
He felt that it was impossible for Zhao Rong to leave.This cognition has been integrated into the long-term age, and it has become a fact that cannot be changed. He doesn't need to worry about it.
Looking back now, when I first met Zhao Rong, I looked at him with obvious to almost substantive admiration. Every time we met after that, Zhao Rong only saw him more and more.Very obedient, very obedient, very... invariable.
Maybe the kitten who has always been well-behaved will also be a little temperamental and demanding.
He took out his mobile phone and pressed Zhao Rong's number.
He personally brought Zhao Rong back.
Zhao Rong only likes him, has liked him for many years, even if he leaves, there will be no one else he likes.
Zhao Rong is still very soft-hearted, nostalgic for old love.The first time they met, it was just a charity on the spur of the moment by Qiao Nanqi, and Zhao Rong remembered it from the age of 14 to the present.
He went there in person, it is impossible for Zhao Rong not to come back.
