Lost [Transmigration Book]

When Zhao Rong just left, Qiao Nanqi felt that as long as Zhao Rong was willing to go home, he would accept it.

Later he found out that Zhao Rong was serious about breaking up, so he thought, as long as he can bring Zhao Rong back, he can do it too.

Later, he knew everything and discovered the liking that came out of him unconsciously. He only asked Zhao Rong to give him a possibility to start again, and give him another chance to have forever.

But in the end, he found that Zhao Rong didn't like him anymore, and even married one of his best friends in full view...

When he had no extravagance for anything, he suddenly gave him good news that should have been a surprise.

But this "surprise" pierced his heart with an arrow.

At this moment, those weak hopes and hopes that still existed, became things that Qiao Nanqi didn't want to exist at all.

He escaped and felt that if he hadn't checked, maybe he would have felt better, and he was glad that he had found out.

Check it out, see it clearly, and then he knows what he has done.

He once hoped that Zhao Rong would turn back.

But the thoughts in his mind at the moment, thousands of repeated "not worth it", finally merged into one thought in an instant.

An idea that he could never have had before.

——If Zhao Rong hadn't liked him from the beginning, wouldn't the past years...be better?

……

Qiao Nanqi sat alone in the office for a long time without doing anything.

After a long time, it was almost late at night, Xiao Wu, who was ordered by him to work overtime, brought the nurse who had taken care of Zhao Ming in the nursing home.

Qiao Nanqi originally wanted to intervene in this nursing home just to know something about Zhao Rong's current situation.

Zhao Rong had already moved away. If he wanted to know something without trace, he could only start with Zhao Ming.So he thought, it would be great if he could secretly ask the nurses and doctors about Zhao Rong's current situation.

Unexpectedly, what the nurse said made him unprepared.

"... Gone?" Qiao Nanqi repeated.

The nurse nodded: "Let's go. The whole family went together. They paid me double salary and asked me if I would follow. I'm all rooted here, so I won't go. A few days ago, more than a month Go ahead, give me a big red envelope, and drive away, the snow was quite heavy that day."

over a month ago.

More than a month ago, the wedding had just ended more than ten days ago.

More than a month ago, Lawyer Lin had just completed the formalities of those inheritances.

Qiao Nanqi immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

The nurse had no burden to speak because he often saw Qiao Nanqi who had shed his hard shell in the nursing home.

But at this moment, he suddenly lowered his voice, and the invisible air pressure made the nurse afraid that Qiao Nanqi would not be satisfied with the answer, so he stammered unconsciously: "No, I didn't say it... just asked me if I would like to go to another place with me , I didn't ask after I refused... After all, it's the employer, and if people don't mention it, I, I don't have much to ask..."

Out of town...?

Zhao Rong is not in Yangcheng anymore?

The nurse asked him, "Is there any other question, Mr. Qiao?"

Qiao Nanqi had already asked Xiao Wu to send him away.

When Xiao Wu led people out of the office familiarly, Qiao Nanqi suddenly called him to stop.

"Sir?" Xiao Wu was puzzled, "Is there anything else to do?"

Qiao Nanqi didn't look at him, just holding his mobile phone, looking at something, his voice was low and exhausted: "I don't need to come tomorrow, let's rest for a few days."

Xiao Wu was stunned by his words. During this period of time, he was finally scared away by the courage cultivated by their husband's weak approachability: "Ah? First, first, sir! It's me, what didn't I do?" Okay? Give me one more—just one more chance!! I—"

He almost rushed to Qiao Nanqi and knelt down crying.

But Qiao Nanqi just rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said, "I just let you rest, I won't come to the company tomorrow."

Only then did Xiao Wu understand.

It turned out that it was not their husband who wanted to fire him, but their husband who wanted to give himself a vacation.

So he immediately put away the gloomy mist on his face, and left with the guards.

Before leaving, he still couldn't help saying: "Sir, you still... pay attention to rest."

Qiao Nanqi glanced at him, but said nothing.

After Xiao Wu left, he was the only one left in the office. It was dark outside the window, and the lights in the room were like daylight, but it seemed like an endless night.

Looking at his phone, he had logged back into the social account that added Zhao Rong, and clicked on Zhao Rong's homepage.

In fact, he had watched these updates several times, but at this moment, after learning that Zhao Rong had left more than a month ago, and watching these content again, he realized the difference.

Zhao Rong hasn't posted many updates these days, and most of them are landscape photos that can't be seen - now it seems that they may have been taken on the way away.There are no people in these landscape photos, and Zhao Rong never said much in the pictures, at most one or two words, if it is not known that he is no longer in Yangcheng, I am afraid that there is no clue at all.

Many are recent photos, and one even has only one green leaf.

A green leaf.

The leaves are very thin, and the branches that can be seen a little bit are also thin and weak, unlike the species that can grow in the wild in winter in the north.

Is it somewhere a little south?

Zhuxi.

Xu Xin and his wife took Zhao Rong and Liang Youjun to the market to buy New Year's goods.

It was early in the morning at this time, and the vegetable market was buzzing with people, chatting with each other and shouting endlessly.

They didn't open the bookstore today, and Zhao Rong also pushed an invitation to a banquet in the business district of Zhuxi, and came here to buy things before everyone closed for the New Year.

Mrs. Xu wanted to send Xu Xin and Liang Youjun to be coolies, so she naturally favored them. As for Zhao Rong—although no one said it, in the eyes of the other three, their boss, who is young but needs to take care of his body, is here to be auspicious. of things.

It looks so good-looking, and if you stand aside, maybe the butcher will be willing to "miss" and chop an extra catty of meat.

Before coming, Xu Xin specifically asked his wife, and the two spent a long time at home researching the customs and things needed for the Chinese New Year in this area.

But after all, they were foreigners, and they worked hard for a long time, and finally thought that if it really didn't work, they could just make do with the way they used to celebrate the New Year in Yangcheng.

When they arrived at the market, Mrs. Xu led them to see what to buy, but Zhao Rong stopped in front of a stall at some point and picked it up.

Mrs. Xu was afraid that his young master would not be able to buy anything because he was used to it, so she wanted to help out. She never thought that Zhao Rong would even discuss the price with the stall owner in a few words.

Still using a local dialect.

He stood there with a clear demeanor that was completely different from ordinary people. Even though the scarf that was wrapped several times covered his face slightly, it did not reduce the eyes of passers-by looking at him at all.

But just because of such an incompatible temperament, Zhao Rong can be no different from the ordinary people here, mingling among the people coming and going, speaking a fluent dialect, smiling slightly, coming and going with the stall owner talking.At the end, he seemed to chat with the stall owner about the customs of Chinese New Year, and the other party laughed a few times and gave him some extra things.

Liang Youjun hurriedly took the plastic bag in front of Zhao Rong and held it in his hand. He was dumbfounded and said, "Boss, aren't you from Yangcheng?"

Zhao Rong said vaguely, "I learned it."

"You've only been here for a month!?"

"Study well, there is no way."

Liang Youjun: "..."

Seeing that he understood, Mrs. Xu dismissed the original idea of ​​making him a mascot, and took Zhao Rong to buy other things, and asked him about the customs of Zhuxi from time to time.

Zhao Rong could see that she liked to do things like this, and she didn't take the lead, she only helped her when she needed it.

Several people bought it for a long time, Liang Youjun and Xu Xin's left and right hands were full of bags.

Zhao Rong wanted to help, but Xu Xin refused to let him go. He could only carry a small bag of meaning.

Back in the car, Xu Xin asked him suddenly: "Xiao Zhao, how is your mother's matter? I haven't seen you say it for the past few days. If you need our help, don't hold back."

Zhao Rong's eyes paused, and he slowly put the things in his hands into the trunk, and said casually, "It's not resolved."

"The Zhou family is still stuck?"

"It doesn't count. They sent me a new cooperation plan. It's not as loud as before, but..."

But definitely still want to take advantage.

Zhao Rong has already made up his mind: "It's really not possible. After the next year, I will contact Ruan Cheng."

Xu Xin sighed: "Why don't I go back to Yangcheng, find my friends from the previous workplace, help you find a few powerful headhunters, and try to see if I can pass others?"

"It's useless, the Zhou family has a deep foundation, and they are not short of money."

Xu Xin still wanted to say something, but Mrs. Xu had already sat in the passenger seat.

The two of them didn't want these things to affect the mood of others, so they changed the topic very tacitly.

On the way home, Mrs. Xu turned her head and asked Zhao Rong: "Xiao Zhao, you are a lonely person. The new year is over, why don't I help you find someone."

Zhao Rong subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Mrs. Xu said, "I want to push it again? How do you know if you don't take the initiative to try? I know you tried, but seeing a few more people will never hurt you. It's a pity that you are single."

Liang Youjun glanced at Zhao Rong's expression, and said, "Don't, sister-in-law, it would be nice for the boss to leave it for me to digest internally."

Zhao Rong couldn't laugh or cry: "Look, sister-in-law, this is what needs to be introduced."

Everyone laughed.

Their home was too far away from this kind of market, and it took a long time to open it. After a while, they chatted about other topics.

While chatting, Xu Xin talked about his love history.

"...I don't know if you have ever encountered such a time." Xu Xin steered the steering wheel, his voice getting louder and louder, "Hey, anyway, at that time, I felt that I had to be your sister-in-law for the rest of my life. "

Aunt Xu patted him on the head: "Drive your car."

Liang Youjun said enviously: "I haven't yet, sister-in-law, you really want to introduce one to me. I want a handsome guy. I have been raised by our boss. I don't want someone who doesn't have the temperament and qualifications of our boss."

Mrs. Xu rarely said in a bad mood: "Then you are still alone."

It was rare for Zhao Rong not to keep up with the topic.

He listened to what Xu Xin said just now, and looked sideways at the receding street scene outside the window, his mind was full of thoughts.

He was not surprised when he thought of Qiao Nanqi.

He had only been so brave to like such a person in his life.

At the beginning, he thought that he might not really like Qiao Nanqi, because too many things happened before him, and after he left Qiao Nanqi's house, Qiao Nanqi became too much, too fast, making him He is always ups and downs in truth and falsehood, unable to distinguish what is in front of him.

At this moment, calm down, the surroundings are very peaceful, and my heart is naturally clear.

He always thought that it was Zhao Ming's medical expenses that made him fall in love with Qiao Nanqi.

But when Xu Xin spoke just now, the images in his mind were not those important moments in the past eleven or twelve years, but when he was in college, in the library, he saw Qiao Nanqi's quietness from a distance through the bookshelf. Sitting quietly at the desk, looking down at the book.

The man's hands are particularly beautiful, just holding the book like this, with his fingers stuck to the pages of the book, like a bendable jade fan bone, elegant and elegant.

He looked at the cover of the book in the opponent's hand, took out another identical book from the shelf, and looked at the thickness of the pages turned in that person's hand, and he probably turned to the content that Qiao Nanqi was most likely reading.

Afterwards, they turned the pages of the book together through the wide corridor and the dense but neat books on the bookshelves.

After reading a few pages, it happened that the protagonist and the heroine in the book made a joke, which made Zhao Rong subconsciously smile.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Qiao Nanqi through the gap in the bookshelf.

——I happened to bump into Qiao Nanqi's slowly rising smile.

This smile is actually very shallow, very light, just like Zhao Rong's smile at this time, it's just a subconscious emotion, a little bit of joy.

It's like a butterfly flapping its wings gently, or like a spring breeze blowing silently.

Quiet, peaceful and quiet.

But Zhao Rong already liked looking at Qiao Nanqi, and he had no resistance to that sharp-edged face.

Qiao Nanqi seldom smiled. Once he smiled, even with a slight arc, he could pull people's heartstrings and play a flurry of music.

At that moment, Zhao Rong met the other party's smile and felt his heart stop suddenly, but after this moment of trance, it beat crazily a few times.

He let go of his hand subconsciously, the book slipped from his hand, and fell to the ground with a "click".

Qiao Nanqi seemed to hear the sound, and looked this way.

And Zhao Rong knelt down, picked up the book, and patted the dust that might have been on the book.

Inside the car, the laughter of Liang Youjun and others brought Zhao Rong back from the memories.

They seemed to be still discussing the matter of introducing a partner, but everyone bypassed Zhao Rong very tacitly.

When they got home, the group went directly to Zhao Rong's house to put down these things.

Zhao Rong bought suites for Xu Xin's family and Liang Youjun's respectively, and they were all next to each other, with several small bungalows attached to each other, right next to the bookstore.

Liang Youjun didn't have a normal life, and Xu Xin's family lived with a woman named Mrs. Xu. Finally, after much deliberation, Zhao Rong's family was the most suitable, so they planned to have the New Year's Eve dinner at Zhao Rong's house.

When Xu Xin was sorting out the new year's goods, Liang Youjun asked him, "Boss, I told you Happy New Year's Eve on New Year's Eve, do you have any red envelopes?"

Zhao Rong smiled: "... Happy New Year's Eve?"

"Otherwise? Are there any other blessings that day?"

Zhao Rong just folded up his sleeves, washed his hands and joined the pack, saying, "There will be a red envelope for you."

There was no direct answer.

Qiao Nanqi seemed to be light, but in fact he used his strength and pushed the club forward lightly.

The billiard ball rolled quickly and obediently hit a ball in front of it into the hole.

Xia Yuantu watched from the side with a pole, and had no intention of making any moves at all - he was just running with him.

After a while, the table was almost empty.

Qiao Nanqi just wiped the head of the club and said, "Play another set."

Xia Yuantu got used to his way of venting, so he played another round with him in silence.

Said to accompany, he also made an opening.

After going back and forth like this for four rounds, Xia Yuantu glanced at Qiao Nanqi's still not good face, and the extremely gloomy eyes, and asked him, "Are you in a better mood?"

Qiao Nanqi paused, speechless.

"What's the matter with you?" Xia Yuantu said, "A while ago, I thought you were much better? What happened again?"

Qiao Nanqi pushed out the club in his hand vigorously.

He used too much strength this time, the billiard balls made a crisp crashing sound, dispelling a lot of the chaos in his heart.

He has stayed at home these days.

It's just that today I really want to vent, so I call Xia Yuantu to play billiards.

In the past few days, his mind is full of Zhao Rong, the way Zhao Rong looked at him in the past, Zhao Rong's indifferent words when he resolutely asked him to leave, and Zhao Rong... giving up his inheritance for him.

He asked Ruan Cheng first, but Ruan Cheng didn't know exactly where Zhao Rong had gone, because after Zhao Rong and Ruan Cheng cut off contact, the two never talked again.

He also sent a message to Lu Xingping, asking Lu Xingping, "Where did Zhao Rong go?"

Just this one sentence, there is no need to say anything, Lu Xingping obviously understood what he meant.But Lu Xingping told him: "I don't know, I didn't ask him, and he didn't tell me."

Liu Shun didn't know either.

Fang Zhuoqun may know, but with the relationship between Fang Zhuoqun and Zhao Rong, once he asks, he will inform Zhao Rong. What if Zhao Rong hates seeing him?What if his question disturbs Zhao Rong's peaceful life now?

He had imagined countless times what he would do if Zhao Rong and Lu Xingping were to divorce.

But he didn't expect that when he really knew the truth, when the day came, he would be worried—worried that he would bring more unhappiness to Zhao Rong.

He said to Xia Yuantu, "I want to find Zhao Rong."

This was said to Xia Yuantu, but he was actually talking to himself.

"Oh," Xia Yuantu is already used to it, "you think about it every day."

"He certainly doesn't want to see me."

"Of course, after all, he and Xingping were just together."

"I'm such a failure, I don't deserve him."

Xia Yuantu was taken aback.

He didn't expect Qiao Nanqi to say such inferior words.

Qiao Nanqi said to himself: "He would rather hide the false marriage with Xingping than want me to give it up. I can also give him more money than that inheritance, but he would rather marry someone else. Pretend to be a partner with others, and you don’t want to ask me for these.”

"After all, you share—what!???"

"I want to see him now, but I am also afraid that I will make him unhappy."

Xia Yuantu was dumbfounded.

Qiao Nanqi put down the pole.

He carried the edge of the pool table with both hands, lowered his head, clenched his back molars, thinking about something.

moment.

"I'm still going to find him," he said.

But he doesn't expect Zhao Rong to forgive him, and he doesn't expect to be with Zhao Rong.

He just wanted Zhao Rong to be happy for the rest of his life, and that every day... was more worthwhile than those days in Yangcheng.

He is willing to spend the rest of his life in a dark corner, not even qualified to make amends or show guilt, but to accompany him namelessly, the only one in the world who has ever treated him well without complaint or regret that person.

Xia Yuantu seemed to be still in a crash state.

Qiao Nanqi went to check out alone, and when he came back, Xiao Wu called him.

"You are on vacation these few days." He said to Xiao Wu.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Wu said tremblingly: "Sir, it's like this... Didn't you deal with that person who was wandering outside Mr. Zhao's mother's ward before? The driver of the Chen family. After he was taken away for investigation, he tried to find a way to ask him Someone contacted me and said that he has something to tell you, I hope you will show your respect and find him a better lawyer. He said it was related to Mr. Zhao."

Qiao Nanqi paused.

"You come to the company now." He said.
