Ruoshui Qiaochu
Chapter 10 Belief??

37. Section 1
——Sweet baggage——
It was evening when I arrived home, and the house was still the same as it was before I left. Sadness seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, covering the entire space, lurking in every piece of furniture and every corner of the house.
Qiao Chu turned on all the lights, making the inside and outside of the house brightly lit, as if this would expel all the heavy factors.
Then, she cleaned up a table and asked Ruoshui to place two portraits on it.
Just when Ruoshui stretched out her trembling hand and was about to put the photo frame on the table, everything was as Qiao Chu expected, and she burst into tears again.
Qiao Chu hugged her in a timely manner.She really didn't dare to tell how many tears she had shed in this short period of time, she was really afraid that she might collapse into a puddle of water anytime and anywhere, and then never recover to her original state, and she, He was ready to take over the puddle of water anytime and anywhere, and tried his best to restore her to her original appearance.
"When my mother and brother were here, I rarely accompanied them. I thought we still had a lot of time to spend together. I never thought they would leave me so soon. Now I seem to be able to commemorate them only in this way. gone."
"I really hope that time can turn back, so that I have the opportunity to go back and do something for them, like, I want to be filial to my mother, but I have no chance..." Saying this, more tears fell.
Staring at Ruoshui's appearance of being thinner and thinner due to excessive sadness, Qiao Chu felt extremely distressed.
How much she wished that she could bear such a heavy pain instead of her, even if it only bears half of it, but what she can share for her is probably only to accompany her day and night, when she needs her , she was there, and those so-called comforting words that she felt sounded very feeble.
"Have you forgotten what Master Xiaomeng said? Living well is the best comfort for the dead and the best way to say goodbye. Mom and brother definitely don't want to see you sad."
Master Xiaomeng's words are what Qiao Chu thinks is the most powerful to Ruoshui.Facing life and death, Qiao Chu knew that only the power of religious belief could truly comfort her.
But she wrapped her hands behind her and hugged her tightly, and continued to cry silently: "Little Qiao, I still can't accept it at this moment. I lost them just like this. I am now an orphan."
If Ruoshui is an orphan, why isn't Qiao Chu also an orphan? She doesn't even know when she lost her parents. Grandma doesn't have a clear answer, and her uncle is even more vague. Man-made magical power conceived and grew up.
Maybe this should also be attributed to fate?However, she doesn't think they are orphans in the true sense.
So, she said solemnly: "You had me before, and you will still have me in the future. We have each other, we are not orphans!"
Ruoshui showed very confused eyes, as if she had doubts about her words, she buried her in her arms again, and finally said her biggest worry: "Little Qiao, I'm just afraid that one day I will kill you also lost..."
Qiao Chu said more solemnly: "Listen well, you will definitely not lose me."
She raised her bewildered eyes to look at her again.
Qiao Chu reiterated what she said just now, and said in a very firm tone: "You-is-will-will-not-would-lose-me-."
Ruoshui was very surprised how Qiao Chu could speak so resolutely, so sonorously and loudly, but at this moment, these words seemed so powerful, like a needle for calming the sea, which made her feel more at ease, but she still asked her: "Little Qiao, how do you know you can't?"
Qiao Chu kissed her hair, and smiled a bit sadly, but she was also a little relieved, Ruoshui's question showed that her heart was already fragile to the point of being vulnerable.
In fact, she understands the impermanence of life better than anyone else, but she still has one thing in her heart, and that thing is actually the same as Qiao Chu's. A timeless statement—an unbreakable conviction.
During this transitional period, she realized that all interrogative and rhetorical sentences should be omitted when speaking to her, such as: How could it be?how can that be possible?What do you say?Don't make the words ambiguous, such as: Who knows?
He even said: It depends on our fate, and those uncertain words must be eliminated, such as: maybe, maybe, and should.
Qiao Chu said: "It's faith. If I say no, I won't."
Belief - a concept produced from confidence to trust.If Guo Guo really believed it, she would feel relieved.
She rested her head on her shoulders, and clasped her hands tightly around her waist from head to tail, as if she was afraid that she would disappear if she let go.
"Little Qiao, if you say no, you won't. I am willing to believe you. I have always believed in you."
Qiao Chu smiled comfortingly, "You who believe in me are the most obedient."
"I believe in you, little Qiao. If it wasn't for you, I would not be in this world long ago. You picked up my life. You decided my fate. I belong to you. I believe everything you say. "
Qiao Chu suddenly fell into the memory that terrified her again, and her heart felt like being hit by a sudden hammer. The blow quickly disappeared quickly, and it was a kind of abnormal heart palpitation that made her feel uncomfortable.She knew that this would be an indelible psychological shadow for her in the future.
"We're going to grow old together, so I won't leave halfway, and you won't leave halfway." She still said to her calmly, just wanting to give her deeper strength.
"I see." Ruoshui nodded more vigorously in agreement.
Before going to bed, Qiao Chu changed the dressing on her wounds and re-bandaged them.Fortunately, she had participated in the Scout Troop at school for five years before, and she had mastered a lot of knowledge and techniques of self-help medical bandaging, which is more than enough for her to use now.
Before going to bed, Qiao Chu said to her: "Promise me one thing. From today on, I will eat well and sleep well, is that okay?"
Ruoshui nodded, she changed into her pajamas, hugged her pillow, and lay down against the wall.
Qiao Chu watched her slowly close her eyes, and said while turning off the light, "You are so good."
Ruoshui found her hand, took it to him, and put it there.When Qiao Chu woke up in the middle of the night, she found that her hand was still on her body, and it was cold and numb, and she couldn't move it away for a while, as if it was no longer a part of her body.
Even so, Ruoshui really slept better that night and didn't wake up crying anymore.
In fact, there are still many things waiting to be dealt with, such as the "time-honored" shophouse left by my mother, my brother's factory, and some trivial matters. Before my mother died, she had already asked the third aunt to find a lawyer to deal with. , and what Ruoshui wanted to do most was to find a suitable day to bring his brother's ashes back to Sangyang Town and put them with his mother's.This can be regarded as reuniting their mother and son, right?
The next morning, when Qiao Chu was making breakfast in the kitchen, the doorbell rang suddenly.
It turned out to be Zhou Linshan.
It was only less than 09:30 in the morning, and the sun outside was as fierce as three o'clock at noon. She was wearing a pair of big sunglasses and driving her luxury car.
Qiao Chu opened the door for her, Zhou Linshan took off her sunglasses, looked at her and said, "Qiao Chu, I didn't expect you to be here. I didn't call you before I came because I thought Ruoshui would be at home."
"I don't go to work until later." Qiao Chu said.
"Is Ruoshui okay?" Zhou Linshan asked with concern.
When Zhou Linshan came to the living room, she immediately saw the photos of Ruoshui's mother and brother placed on the table.
"The proprietress of "My Inn" in Sangyang Town is very familiar with me. I only learned about Ruoshui's mother's death from her last night..."
Qiao Chu just nodded.She knew that Zhou Linshan and Sangyang Town had a deep relationship.Of course, this geography also originated from the close relationship between her and Ruoshui.
"I want to see Ruoshui, is it convenient?" Zhou Linshan said this to Qiao Chu in a demanding tone.
Qiao Chu didn't answer her immediately, Zhou Linshan saw her hesitation, she said sincerely: "Qiao Chu, I'm sincere, I came here to see Ruoshui, not you."
It's such a time, of course Qiao Chu is willing to trust her, she can't be too unbearable to do anything outrageous at this time, right?
She said: "I believe she would also like to see you, you go in, she is in the room."
Zhou Linshan put the bag in her hand on the sofa, and walked into the bedroom without hesitation. She saw Ruoshui sitting by the bed like a fossil, and didn't notice her.
It wasn't until Zhou Linshan walked up to her that she raised her head and realized that it was her. It was an accident at first, and then her eyes were red.
Zhou Linshan sat beside her, frowning slightly, and they just looked at each other.
Zhou Linshan suddenly felt an indescribable heartache. Without saying a word, she hugged the sad woman into her arms, like hugging a child.
Ruoshui's emotions came to a breaking point again, and she cried uncontrollably in her arms.
What Zhou Lin is playing back in his mind now is every picture of himself in Sangyang Town in the past——
The time-honored shop on Sangyang Street, Ruoshui, Ruoshui's mother and brother Ruoshan, those scattered fragments, she always thought had been deleted from her memory long ago.
She never thought that at this moment, they could be put together so completely and vividly in her mind so quickly.
What she can't forget is Ruoshui's mother and Ruoshan's warm greetings to her. They are so simple and beautiful, and they treat her like relatives.
The small town style and strong human touch deeply moved and infected her at that time.
It was a fragment that she didn't recall for a long time, even, from the memory of Sangyang Town, she couldn't help recalling the days farther away——
At the crossroads in Shibuya, Tokyo, for the first time, I met that 19-year-old girl who was delicate and weak but always had a smile on her face as she picked up the scarf for her.
The warmth, delicacy and softness that had been left behind by her willful self returned to her embrace at this moment, she felt a little incredible, and also a little unspeakably distressed.
Then, she heard herself saying in a sincere voice: "forgive me for the past, Ruoshui, okay?"
Seeing Ruoshui crying in her arms so reassuringly, she once thought it was going back in time.
But she soon realized that the place in Sangyang Town was really their deep memory together.
Now that Ruoshui has lost two close relatives at the same time in a short period of time, she is naturally heartbroken and has mixed feelings.
Zhou Linshan let her cry for a while.
"Stop crying, Ruoshui." After an unknown amount of time, she patted her gently and said, "You can be sad, but don't be sad for too long."
"If Shan and mother are gone, it is impossible to come back, but there is still Xiao Qiao in your life, she loves you so much." She paused for a moment, and continued: "As long as people are still alive , nothing is impossible, what I want to say is, if you want, I will be your friend for life."
Ruoshui nodded gratefully, then slowly sat up straight from her arms.Zhou Linshan looked at her and said, "You haven't told me..."
Ruoshui looked at her with red eyes and said, "You should know, I have forgiven you a long time ago..."
Zhou Linshan was about to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand when Qiao Chu came to the room.
Zhou Linshan looked at her, and said to Ruoshui: "Look at your little Qiao, she looks more haggard than you now, so no matter how big the pain is, you have to think about it, your sadness will only be on her body double or more."
Ruoshui turned her head to look at Qiao Chu with tears in her eyes, and nodded heavily to show that she understood.
Qiao Chu came to her, Ruoshui ignored Zhou Linshan's presence, hugged Qiao Chu with open arms, and then pressed her face against her chest without moving, Qiao Chu lowered his head, smelling her instinctively Her hair, tossing and combing her hair.
Zhou Linshan laughed and said, "I really don't envy you at all now. You see, love is a sweet and heavy burden. Qiao Chu, I really want to ask you, are you tired these days?" ?”
Qiao Chu stared at her, this woman didn't even look at the scene when she was speaking, she could speak and laugh freely.
During the critical period, she couldn't say that she was tired, and she didn't want to make such jokes. She just said: "You made her cry, and you didn't wipe her tears for her. She must ask me to wipe her tears."
Zhou Linshan just wanted to have a better atmosphere, she laughed loudly and said, "I'm sorry, Ruoshui, I'm not as careful as Qiao Chu, and I'm not gentle either. Wiping tears should be done by someone who truly loves you." good."
She sighed softly and said: "Seeing you two, I have to believe that the fate is really wonderful, maybe it was settled in the previous life, but how to say, you should also be grateful to me for being old this month, right?"
Qiao Chu said mechanically on purpose: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou Yue."
"You are the best at perfunctory me." Zhou Linshan glanced at her and stood up from the edge of the bed.
Qiao Chu held Ruoshui's hand, wanted to pull her out of bed, and said, "Come on, let's have breakfast, what do you want?"
Ruoshui said, "I want to eat dumplings."
There were no dumplings in the breakfast prepared by Qiao Chu, so she turned to look at Zhou Linshan.Among the three, Zhou Linshan was probably the only one who knew how to make dumplings.
She had heard that she had made wontons before, so of course Qiao Chu could only entrust her with this task which seemed too difficult for her.
What's more, asking for forgiveness from others also requires further action, right?Qiao Chu thought so.
Zhou Linshan followed Qiao Chu's gaze, opened her eyes wide, and pointed at herself with a questioning expression.
"There is no doubt that the dumpling depends on you." Qiao Chu said with a smile.
Zhou Linshan said bluntly, "It's been a long time since I made wontons, and dumplings seem to have only been made once or twice. I'll give it a try."
Just like that, Zhou Linshan didn't talk too much, and was about to go out to buy ingredients, Qiao Chu reminded her unceremoniously, "What we want to eat are vegetarian dumplings."
Zhou Linshan smiled knowingly, "I guessed it earlier, no problem." Having said that, she got into the car and rushed to a nearby vegetable market to search for ingredients for making dumplings: flour, leeks, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, coriander, ginger and garlic, etc. She also went to the supermarket to buy mature vinegar, soy sauce and several drinks that she thought were delicious, and came back in less than an hour.
Zhou Linshan rolled up her sleeves and made dumpling wrappers first.Qiao Chu found out that she really had a hand in this matter, and she herself could only help her, wash and drain the fresh vegetables that she just bought, and then cut them on the cutting board according to the instructions, and then waited Waiting for the chef's next instruction.
It was really the first time for the three of them to sit together and make dumplings.The sun shines directly into the room through the sun room, just falling on the corner of the dining table, and suddenly there is a kind of homely warmth.
Zhou Linshan said that the wontons she made were Hong Kong-style wontons, and now she makes dumplings in exactly the same way. She also said that she wants to try making all kinds of popular Cantonese snacks by herself, and she will find an opportunity to show her skills someday.
Qiao Chu questioned her, the so-called Hong Kong-style wrapping method is nothing more than putting the stuffing on the dumpling skin, and then hastily bundled it into a ball.
However, with seemingly simple steps, she, who had never made dumplings before, really ended up "hastily".
Ruoshui showed her rare smile and said, "Little Qiao, I don't believe that such pretty hands can make such ugly dumplings..."
Zhou Linshan laughed out loud when she heard this.
Qiao Chu dipped the flour with his index finger, applied it on Ruoshui's nose, and said, "Anyway, you'll swallow these dumplings later, it's not that particular."
Zhou Linshan said amusedly, "According to what you say, what kind of dumplings are there? You can cook the dumpling skins and fillings separately, and then mix them together and eat them."
Then, she smiled and said to Ruoshui: "If you ask her to do this kind of thing, she will always feel that it is a waste of time."
Ruoshui suddenly fell silent again, and stared at the flour on the table in a daze.
Qiao Chu soon noticed her psychological changes.Zhou Linshan is also a person who knows little things, she tried to divert her attention, saying: "Ruoshui, your craftsmanship is better than Qiao Chu, you can't stop, keep going, hurry up!"
Ruoshui finally regained his composure before continuing.She is dexterous, and she can learn how to make dumplings quickly and delicately.
Qiao Chu is not bad either, she is clever and quick-witted, and after repeated defeats, she has gradually become more comfortable.
Ruoshui pointed to some of the dumplings she made and said: "Little Qiao, you have improved, the most beautiful one, I recognized it, I will find it later."
It's rare that she is still playful. In order to let her identify more, Qiao Chu left marks on the dumplings she made. She said that they were Qiao's dumplings.
The three chatted and laughed casually, and then sat down to eat dumplings.
The rare thing is that Ruoshui ate ten of them in one go!If it was yesterday, she would not be able to eat even one.
Seeing how appetizing she was eating, Qiao Chu couldn't help but feel relieved, wishing she could eat more.
When Ruoshui got up to leave the table, Qiao Chu said to Zhou Linshan, "Thank you Joe, if it wasn't for you and today's dumplings, I'm really worried that she won't eat again."
Zhou Linshan said: "Let me tell you, Qiao Chu, Ruoshui likes to eat noodles, dumplings, wontons, noodles, steamed buns, bread, and pizza. When she was studying in Japan, her favorite food was buckwheat ramen. So, see for yourself Let's do it."
Qiao Chu looked at Zhou Linshan in surprise.She really didn't expect that she still had such a small memory of Ruoshui.
She thought that she had never been a careful person, or that she had forgotten all about it;
In Qiao Chu's heart, there was only one label on Zhou Linshan in the later period - she is a cold and heartless woman!
Really, she remembered that Ruoshui's favorite food was buckwheat ramen, and she always ate it with rattling noises, which was very delicious.
She asked Zhou Linshan her own question: "But will she reject food made of flour in the future?"
Zhou Linshan said nonchalantly: "If you don't take it seriously, she won't take it seriously. Qiao Chu, there is a difference between loving someone and being used to someone. If you want her to get out of the shadows, you can't bury her in the shadows with her." here."
Qiao Chu felt that what she said was very reasonable, so she kept nodding her head, "Yes, I understand."
The dumplings had just been eaten, when Zhou Linshan received a call from the company, she could only leave in a hurry. The laughter and laughter in the room disappeared with her departure, returning to the previous silence.
Qiao Chu never thought that Zhou Linshan would become so important between them.Now, she wished she could have stayed longer.At least, with her here, the atmosphere would be less calm and less sad.
While tidying up the kitchen, Qiao Chu found that Ruoshui was looking at things and thinking about others again, and fell into a painful mood again.
Walking out of the kitchen, she looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and she suddenly felt anxious.
She was going back to the company for a meeting soon, but she was worried that Ruoshui would stay at home alone.With frequent leave of absence these days, she can only hand over the work in hand to others, and now is the time to take it back.
She knew that Ruoshui needed company the most at the moment, but she was too busy to continue her vacation.
It is impossible for Ruoshui to take care of "Ruoqiao" in the short term.I really don't know what to do next.
Then it suddenly occurred to me that I went to Sangyang Town and entrusted Chu Chu to Peng Min those days, and it was time to take her home now.Wouldn't it be better to have Chuchu and Ruoshui by their side?
Qiao Chu went to turn on the TV and locked it on a variety show channel.She just wanted to break the silence of the house and make some lively noises.
In the sound of the TV, she said to Ruoshui: "I'll take Chuchu home later..."
Ruoshui still sat on the mat on the floor in a daze, and agreed vaguely.Qiao Chu walked up to her and hugged her, whispering in her ear: "Watch TV for a while, I'll be back soon, before dark..."
"Okay." She moved her eyes to the TV screen obediently.
When Qiao Chu changed her clothes and came out, she suddenly said to her, "Little Qiao, I don't want to watch TV anymore."
"Then don't watch it." Qiao Chu immediately went to turn off the TV, and turned back to play the vinyl records. Thinking about those old songs sounding more sad and desolate now, she immediately gave up the idea.
She had no choice but to tell her: "You have to be good, find something to do, promise me, don't make me worry, can you?"
"Yes." She nodded vigorously and said firmly.
Qiao Chu walked to the entrance, sat on the stool while changing shoes, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Then I'll go..."
After putting on her shoes, she stood up, turned around and walked to the door, and just touched the doorknob with her hand, but she heard Ruoshui calling her.
Qiao Chu could only stop there.Ruoshui had already run over, hugged her, and begged her, "Little Qiao, I don't want to stay at home alone, I want to stay by your side, can you let me stay by your side?"
Everything was within Qiao Chu's expectation.She knew that Ruoshui had worked very hard, intellectually she wanted to make herself stronger, but emotionally she couldn't do it yet.
At this moment, she really wanted her to become a piece of flesh on her body, so that she could carry her with her.
38. Section 2
——Heartless——
Qiao Chu decided to take her by his side.This seems to be the only possible way.She asked her to change clothes, and went back to get her a warm jacket and some snacks.
Just like that, she let her stay in her office.Afraid that she is cold, afraid that she is hungry, and afraid that she is tired.
There is a sofa in the room, and she told her to lie down and sleep when she was sleepy, and ignore the people outside, but if there was no water, she didn't even lie down, even though she was in a state of laxity, she just kept quiet sitting.
There were some magazines in the cabinet, and she randomly picked one or two to pass the time.Not long ago, Jiang Yiying had applied to be transferred back to the group she used to work in.
Qiao Chu was very glad that she did not appear in her sight, she did not want her to come into contact with Ruoshui.
VanGuard has been so busy up and down these days, everyone is preoccupied with their own affairs, and no one pays attention to other people's affairs.
The lengthy meeting lasted three hours.When he returned to the room, Ruoshui was missing from the sofa.
Qiao Chu walked to the center of the huge office, looked around, and immediately someone noticed that she was looking for a girlfriend, and kindly pointed upwards and said, "She seems to be up there!"
Qiao Chu looked suspicious, and someone else immediately said, "The rooftop!"
rooftop?How could Ruoshui go up to the rooftop for no reason?
At this moment, the rooftop can only make her have ominous associations.No one knew that her current nerves were really weakened to a very pitiful level!
She felt that she was getting cold all over, so she quickly flew up and ran up.At the exit that was so narrow that only one person could pass through, she met a person, Jiang Yiying!She was very surprised why she appeared on the rooftop? !
"See Ruoshui?" She couldn't hide her panic.
Jiang Yanying pointed out, and said nonchalantly, "She's right there."
Qiao Chu couldn't help but question her: "You brought her up?"
Jiang Yiying said: "During your meeting, I saw her sitting in your room in a daze, so I brought her up to blow some air. I..."
Qiao Chu interrupted her angrily: "Do you need so many things?"
Jiang Yanying thought she had done a good thing, but she never thought that Qiao Chu would be so angry.
She stayed at the scene with a pale face, and she didn't intend to leave. She seemed to want to explain something, but couldn't say it for a while.
The door was narrow, Qiao Chu pushed her away and said, "You'd better stay out of my sight!"
Anxiously, she ran out of the empty rooftop and looked around, but there was no one. She could only go back to the small door in a panic, grabbed the arm of Jiang Yingying who was still standing there, and questioned her loudly: "Yes! You brought her up, where is she now? Where is she?"
Jiang Jiying had never seen Qiao Chu get so angry before, she was too frightened to neglect her, and she led her to turn right to the back of a high wall.Ruoshui was originally sitting there, sitting there intact.
The wind on the roof was really strong, and the sun was about to set. The fireball hung far away in the sky like a big balloon in a promotional advertisement, floating among the clouds, and Ruoshui stared at the sky intently.
Qiao Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to walk towards her, Jiang Yiying started crying behind her. Qiao Chu turned around in surprise, only to realize that she was too nervous and rude to her last second, and she immediately apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Jiang Yiying .”
The wind was very strong and it was blowing loudly, and Jiang Yanying shook her head violently while crying, Qiao Chu didn't know why she shook her head, she continued to apologize to her, saying: "I was wrong for treating you like that just now, I'm really sorry. "
Jiang Yanying cried more and more aggrieved.
Qiao Chu had no choice but to take a step closer to her, and said to her in a softer voice: "So you know how important Ruoshui is to me, no matter if you approach her with kindness or malice, I can accept you as a person again." Before, I begged you not to approach her without permission, is that okay?"
Jiang Yanying wiped away her tears, and said angrily, "I mean well. How can I have any malice? Do you think I will take her up to the rooftop and then push her down?"
Have you watched too many TV shows?I can only be so bad in your eyes?I know that her brother passed away unexpectedly, I have always wanted to condolences to her, and I just met her today..."
Of course Qiao Chu knew her problem, it was because she wanted to protect Ruoshui too much. "I'm sorry, I admit that I don't have trust in you, so I don't know what you will do. Trust between people takes time to build, and once it's broken, it's hard to repair. So, forgive me just now Really miss you that much."
"Are you going to doubt me no matter what I do now?"
"We can not doubt a person without any reason or condition, but the main premise is whether they are worthy of trust, right? Sorry, you are not that person yet."
Jiang Yanying said with some righteous indignation: "Qiao Chu, one day, I will prove to you that I can also be someone you don't doubt!"
"Okay, I'm willing to wait for that day." Qiao Chu was willing to encourage her.
With flushed cheeks, Jiang Yanying turned and ran downstairs.
Ruoshui didn't pay attention to what Qiao Chu and Jiang Yingying said some distance away.
Qiao Chu sat down beside her, looked at her with worried and reproachful eyes and said, "I'm very anxious to find you, do you know that?"
Ruoshui took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I thought I'd just sit down for a while, but Jiang Yiying said she had time to accompany me, so we sat for a long time."
Looking at Ruoshui in the wind, Qiao Chu thought for no reason that when he went out to sea on the yacht, the strong wind also disturbed Ruoshui's half-length hair.
At that time, she wanted to reach out and straighten her messy hair, but she didn't have the courage after all.Now, she gently embraced her head and leaned against her own.In this way, the hair of the two people will not be disturbed by the wind.
Ruoshui said softly to her, "Jiang Yingying chatted with me here for quite a while just now."
Qiao Chu still couldn't develop a sense of trust in that girl, she asked, "What have you been talking about?"
What did Jiang Yiying tell Ruoshui all afternoon?
She went through it in her head and slowly relayed it to her lover.Yes, there are no secrets between them, and there will be no secrets. She doesn't want to hide anything from her, and she can tell anything to her. The most important thing is that she is willing to open herself up and make herself transparent. It used to be, and now it is more Yes, because she said that her life belongs to her, and since the day the accident happened, she has become more sure of this.
"By the way, I asked her why she thought of choosing an hourglass as a Christmas gift. She said that she had actually discovered me in the mall that day. She saw me buying an hourglass, so she followed me and bought the exact same gift."
Qiao Chu finally understood, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
The coincidence was nothing but her creation.She only felt that Jiang Yanying was scheming, self-willed and disregarding the importance of things, but she didn't want to judge her in front of Ruoshui.
Ruoshui said: "She said that she did it just for fun, without any special intention, and she didn't expect that you would win her gift. Therefore, at one point she thought that you and her were also destined."
She continued: "I've found that if people like the same person, those people can actually talk to each other, because it shows that they have the same appreciation and taste in a way, and they have a common language.
It's just that they may be jealous of each other and don't want to talk, so they miss the opportunity to become friends with each other. "
Qiao Chu hugged her lightly, sighed and said, "Ruoshui, everyone you see in your eyes is a good person, you can't always find reasons for others, only to hurt yourself in the end."
"No matter how bad a person is, there is a good side. What's more, she is really not bad. Anyone's good or bad will have no effect on me.
If I can think of them better, I will be happier, and the world will be better, so I will not lose anything. "
"You are my kindest Beibi." Qiao Chu was silent for a while, but there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart, "She brought you up, why did she leave you and go down by herself?"
"She didn't abandon me. She talked too much and was thirsty. She said she would go down and fetch two bottles of mineral water to continue the conversation."
Qiao Chu understood.It was she who completely misunderstood Jiang Yiying.
Ruoshui leaned against her and said, "Little Qiao, you look so nervous."
Qiao Chu reproached and said, "Of course I'm nervous that I can't find you."
"Don't blame Jiang Yiying, in fact, she is very pitiful."
"What's wrong with her?"
"She likes you, but you don't like her. From this point, she is already very pitiful. She is willing to stay with me because she wants you to pay more attention to her. From this point, she is also pitiful."
Qiao Chu frowned habitually again, and she said, "You are always so soft-hearted."
"But for all people, as long as there are any excessive thoughts and desires in their hearts, they will be restless all day long, and those who are restless are poor people.
No matter what people pursue, they will inevitably suffer all kinds of suffering.I can't get what I want, so I pursue it hard;
I got it and was afraid of losing it, so I was anxious all day long.Hungry, looking for something to eat, sleepy and looking for a place to sleep, busy running around every day, smiling when happy, crying when sad, what is the purpose of living like this? "
Qiao Chu stared at her blankly.I couldn't answer for a moment.She suddenly hated her mediocrity and lack of deep thinking about life.At this moment, I can't come up with a decent saying of wisdom after searching my brain.
"Actually, are you worried that I will jump off the roof?" Ruoshui asked her.
Qiao Chu dare not say that she has no such thoughts at all.She must be more afraid of losing her than Ruoshui is.In particular, she is still sinking in the great grief of losing a loved one.
Ruoshui said calmly: "Little Qiao, I will never do this. Apart from the fact that I miss you, there is another reason that suicide is not the end of life, but another continuation of pain. I figured it out a long time ago, so don't worry."
Qiao Chu felt very ashamed for those thoughts that flashed by unconsciously, but she was really relieved.
She took Ruoshui's hand and put it on her lap.The weather was so hot, but her hands were cold, so she kept rubbing them with her hands to heat them up.
A large fire cloud appeared in the sky, and it was slowly fluttering with the wind.The cloud seemed to be very close to them, as if they were within reach.
They all suddenly became quiet, and they couldn't help but raise their heads, fascinated by it for a while.
For the next three days, Qiao Chu shifted his work position to his home.In this way, she can stay by Ruoshui's side.
If the water is relieved, so is she.She cries less and she cries less
37. Section 1
——Sweet baggage——
It was evening when I arrived home, and the house was still the same as it was before I left. Sadness seemed to be covered with a layer of gray, covering the entire space, lurking in every piece of furniture and every corner of the house.
Qiao Chu turned on all the lights, making the inside and outside of the house brightly lit, as if this would expel all the heavy factors.
Then, she cleaned up a table and asked Ruoshui to place two portraits on it.
Just when Ruoshui stretched out her trembling hand and was about to put the photo frame on the table, everything was as Qiao Chu expected, and she burst into tears again.
Qiao Chu hugged her in a timely manner.She really didn't dare to tell how many tears she had shed in this short period of time, she was really afraid that she might collapse into a puddle of water anytime and anywhere, and then never recover to her original state, and she, He was ready to take over the puddle of water anytime and anywhere, and tried his best to restore her to her original appearance.
"When my mother and brother were here, I rarely accompanied them. I thought we still had a lot of time to spend together. I never thought they would leave me so soon. Now I seem to be able to commemorate them only in this way. gone."
"I really hope that time can turn back, so that I have the opportunity to go back and do something for them, like, I want to be filial to my mother, but I have no chance..." Saying this, more tears fell.
Staring at Ruoshui's appearance of being thinner and thinner due to excessive sadness, Qiao Chu felt extremely distressed.
How much she wished that she could bear such a heavy pain instead of her, even if it only bears half of it, but what she can share for her is probably only to accompany her day and night, when she needs her , she was there, and those so-called comforting words that she felt sounded very feeble.
"Have you forgotten what Master Xiaomeng said? Living well is the best comfort for the dead and the best way to say goodbye. Mom and brother definitely don't want to see you sad."
Master Xiaomeng's words are what Qiao Chu thinks is the most powerful to Ruoshui.Facing life and death, Qiao Chu knew that only the power of religious belief could truly comfort her.
But she wrapped her hands behind her and hugged her tightly, and continued to cry silently: "Little Qiao, I still can't accept it at this moment. I lost them just like this. I am now an orphan."
If Ruoshui is an orphan, why isn't Qiao Chu also an orphan? She doesn't even know when she lost her parents. Grandma doesn't have a clear answer, and her uncle is even more vague. Man-made magical power conceived and grew up.
Maybe this should also be attributed to fate?However, she doesn't think they are orphans in the true sense.
So, she said solemnly: "You had me before, and you will still have me in the future. We have each other, we are not orphans!"
Ruoshui showed very confused eyes, as if she had doubts about her words, she buried her in her arms again, and finally said her biggest worry: "Little Qiao, I'm just afraid that one day I will kill you also lost..."
Qiao Chu said more solemnly: "Listen well, you will definitely not lose me."
She raised her bewildered eyes to look at her again.
Qiao Chu reiterated what she said just now, and said in a very firm tone: "You-is-will-will-not-would-lose-me-."
Ruoshui was very surprised how Qiao Chu could speak so resolutely, so sonorously and loudly, but at this moment, these words seemed so powerful, like a needle for calming the sea, which made her feel more at ease, but she still asked her: "Little Qiao, how do you know you can't?"
Qiao Chu kissed her hair, and smiled a bit sadly, but she was also a little relieved, Ruoshui's question showed that her heart was already fragile to the point of being vulnerable.
In fact, she understands the impermanence of life better than anyone else, but she still has one thing in her heart, and that thing is actually the same as Qiao Chu's. A timeless statement—an unbreakable conviction.
During this transitional period, she realized that all interrogative and rhetorical sentences should be omitted when speaking to her, such as: How could it be?how can that be possible?What do you say?Don't make the words ambiguous, such as: Who knows?
He even said: It depends on our fate, and those uncertain words must be eliminated, such as: maybe, maybe, and should.
Qiao Chu said: "It's faith. If I say no, I won't."
Belief - a concept produced from confidence to trust.If Guo Guo really believed it, she would feel relieved.
She rested her head on her shoulders, and clasped her hands tightly around her waist from head to tail, as if she was afraid that she would disappear if she let go.
"Little Qiao, if you say no, you won't. I am willing to believe you. I have always believed in you."
Qiao Chu smiled comfortingly, "You who believe in me are the most obedient."
"I believe in you, little Qiao. If it wasn't for you, I would not be in this world long ago. You picked up my life. You decided my fate. I belong to you. I believe everything you say. "
Qiao Chu suddenly fell into the memory that terrified her again, and her heart felt like being hit by a sudden hammer. The blow quickly disappeared quickly, and it was a kind of abnormal heart palpitation that made her feel uncomfortable.She knew that this would be an indelible psychological shadow for her in the future.
"We're going to grow old together, so I won't leave halfway, and you won't leave halfway." She still said to her calmly, just wanting to give her deeper strength.
"I see." Ruoshui nodded more vigorously in agreement.
Before going to bed, Qiao Chu changed the dressing on her wounds and re-bandaged them.Fortunately, she had participated in the Scout Troop at school for five years before, and she had mastered a lot of knowledge and techniques of self-help medical bandaging, which is more than enough for her to use now.
Before going to bed, Qiao Chu said to her: "Promise me one thing. From today on, I will eat well and sleep well, is that okay?"
Ruoshui nodded, she changed into her pajamas, hugged her pillow, and lay down against the wall.
Qiao Chu watched her slowly close her eyes, and said while turning off the light, "You are so good."
Ruoshui found her hand, took it to him, and put it there.When Qiao Chu woke up in the middle of the night, she found that her hand was still on her body, and it was cold and numb, and she couldn't move it away for a while, as if it was no longer a part of her body.
Even so, Ruoshui really slept better that night and didn't wake up crying anymore.
In fact, there are still many things waiting to be dealt with, such as the "time-honored" shophouse left by my mother, my brother's factory, and some trivial matters. Before my mother died, she had already asked the third aunt to find a lawyer to deal with. , and what Ruoshui wanted to do most was to find a suitable day to bring his brother's ashes back to Sangyang Town and put them with his mother's.This can be regarded as reuniting their mother and son, right?
The next morning, when Qiao Chu was making breakfast in the kitchen, the doorbell rang suddenly.
It turned out to be Zhou Linshan.
It was only less than 09:30 in the morning, and the sun outside was as fierce as three o'clock at noon. She was wearing a pair of big sunglasses and driving her luxury car.
Qiao Chu opened the door for her, Zhou Linshan took off her sunglasses, looked at her and said, "Qiao Chu, I didn't expect you to be here. I didn't call you before I came because I thought Ruoshui would be at home."
"I don't go to work until later." Qiao Chu said.
"Is Ruoshui okay?" Zhou Linshan asked with concern.
When Zhou Linshan came to the living room, she immediately saw the photos of Ruoshui's mother and brother placed on the table.
"The proprietress of "My Inn" in Sangyang Town is very familiar with me. I only learned about Ruoshui's mother's death from her last night..."
Qiao Chu just nodded.She knew that Zhou Linshan and Sangyang Town had a deep relationship.Of course, this geography also originated from the close relationship between her and Ruoshui.
"I want to see Ruoshui, is it convenient?" Zhou Linshan said this to Qiao Chu in a demanding tone.
Qiao Chu didn't answer her immediately, Zhou Linshan saw her hesitation, she said sincerely: "Qiao Chu, I'm sincere, I came here to see Ruoshui, not you."
It's such a time, of course Qiao Chu is willing to trust her, she can't be too unbearable to do anything outrageous at this time, right?
She said: "I believe she would also like to see you, you go in, she is in the room."
Zhou Linshan put the bag in her hand on the sofa, and walked into the bedroom without hesitation. She saw Ruoshui sitting by the bed like a fossil, and didn't notice her.
It wasn't until Zhou Linshan walked up to her that she raised her head and realized that it was her. It was an accident at first, and then her eyes were red.
Zhou Linshan sat beside her, frowning slightly, and they just looked at each other.
Zhou Linshan suddenly felt an indescribable heartache. Without saying a word, she hugged the sad woman into her arms, like hugging a child.
Ruoshui's emotions came to a breaking point again, and she cried uncontrollably in her arms.
What Zhou Lin is playing back in his mind now is every picture of himself in Sangyang Town in the past——
The time-honored shop on Sangyang Street, Ruoshui, Ruoshui's mother and brother Ruoshan, those scattered fragments, she always thought had been deleted from her memory long ago.
She never thought that at this moment, they could be put together so completely and vividly in her mind so quickly.
What she can't forget is Ruoshui's mother and Ruoshan's warm greetings to her. They are so simple and beautiful, and they treat her like relatives.
The small town style and strong human touch deeply moved and infected her at that time.
It was a fragment that she didn't recall for a long time, even, from the memory of Sangyang Town, she couldn't help recalling the days farther away——
At the crossroads in Shibuya, Tokyo, for the first time, I met that 19-year-old girl who was delicate and weak but always had a smile on her face as she picked up the scarf for her.
The warmth, delicacy and softness that had been left behind by her willful self returned to her embrace at this moment, she felt a little incredible, and also a little unspeakably distressed.
Then, she heard herself saying in a sincere voice: "forgive me for the past, Ruoshui, okay?"
Seeing Ruoshui crying in her arms so reassuringly, she once thought it was going back in time.
But she soon realized that the place in Sangyang Town was really their deep memory together.
Now that Ruoshui has lost two close relatives at the same time in a short period of time, she is naturally heartbroken and has mixed feelings.
Zhou Linshan let her cry for a while.
"Stop crying, Ruoshui." After an unknown amount of time, she patted her gently and said, "You can be sad, but don't be sad for too long."
"If Shan and mother are gone, it is impossible to come back, but there is still Xiao Qiao in your life, she loves you so much." She paused for a moment, and continued: "As long as people are still alive , nothing is impossible, what I want to say is, if you want, I will be your friend for life."
Ruoshui nodded gratefully, then slowly sat up straight from her arms.Zhou Linshan looked at her and said, "You haven't told me..."
Ruoshui looked at her with red eyes and said, "You should know, I have forgiven you a long time ago..."
Zhou Linshan was about to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand when Qiao Chu came to the room.
Zhou Linshan looked at her, and said to Ruoshui: "Look at your little Qiao, she looks more haggard than you now, so no matter how big the pain is, you have to think about it, your sadness will only be on her body double or more."
Ruoshui turned her head to look at Qiao Chu with tears in her eyes, and nodded heavily to show that she understood.
Qiao Chu came to her, Ruoshui ignored Zhou Linshan's presence, hugged Qiao Chu with open arms, and then pressed her face against her chest without moving, Qiao Chu lowered his head, smelling her instinctively Her hair, tossing and combing her hair.
Zhou Linshan laughed and said, "I really don't envy you at all now. You see, love is a sweet and heavy burden. Qiao Chu, I really want to ask you, are you tired these days?" ?”
Qiao Chu stared at her, this woman didn't even look at the scene when she was speaking, she could speak and laugh freely.
During the critical period, she couldn't say that she was tired, and she didn't want to make such jokes. She just said: "You made her cry, and you didn't wipe her tears for her. She must ask me to wipe her tears."
Zhou Linshan just wanted to have a better atmosphere, she laughed loudly and said, "I'm sorry, Ruoshui, I'm not as careful as Qiao Chu, and I'm not gentle either. Wiping tears should be done by someone who truly loves you." good."
She sighed softly and said: "Seeing you two, I have to believe that the fate is really wonderful, maybe it was settled in the previous life, but how to say, you should also be grateful to me for being old this month, right?"
Qiao Chu said mechanically on purpose: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou Yue."
"You are the best at perfunctory me." Zhou Linshan glanced at her and stood up from the edge of the bed.
Qiao Chu held Ruoshui's hand, wanted to pull her out of bed, and said, "Come on, let's have breakfast, what do you want?"
Ruoshui said, "I want to eat dumplings."
There were no dumplings in the breakfast prepared by Qiao Chu, so she turned to look at Zhou Linshan.Among the three, Zhou Linshan was probably the only one who knew how to make dumplings.
She had heard that she had made wontons before, so of course Qiao Chu could only entrust her with this task which seemed too difficult for her.
What's more, asking for forgiveness from others also requires further action, right?Qiao Chu thought so.
Zhou Linshan followed Qiao Chu's gaze, opened her eyes wide, and pointed at herself with a questioning expression.
"There is no doubt that the dumpling depends on you." Qiao Chu said with a smile.
Zhou Linshan said bluntly, "It's been a long time since I made wontons, and dumplings seem to have only been made once or twice. I'll give it a try."
Just like that, Zhou Linshan didn't talk too much, and was about to go out to buy ingredients, Qiao Chu reminded her unceremoniously, "What we want to eat are vegetarian dumplings."
Zhou Linshan smiled knowingly, "I guessed it earlier, no problem." Having said that, she got into the car and rushed to a nearby vegetable market to search for ingredients for making dumplings: flour, leeks, cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, coriander, ginger and garlic, etc. She also went to the supermarket to buy mature vinegar, soy sauce and several drinks that she thought were delicious, and came back in less than an hour.
Zhou Linshan rolled up her sleeves and made dumpling wrappers first.Qiao Chu found out that she really had a hand in this matter, and she herself could only help her, wash and drain the fresh vegetables that she just bought, and then cut them on the cutting board according to the instructions, and then waited Waiting for the chef's next instruction.
It was really the first time for the three of them to sit together and make dumplings.The sun shines directly into the room through the sun room, just falling on the corner of the dining table, and suddenly there is a kind of homely warmth.
Zhou Linshan said that the wontons she made were Hong Kong-style wontons, and now she makes dumplings in exactly the same way. She also said that she wants to try making all kinds of popular Cantonese snacks by herself, and she will find an opportunity to show her skills someday.
Qiao Chu questioned her, the so-called Hong Kong-style wrapping method is nothing more than putting the stuffing on the dumpling skin, and then hastily bundled it into a ball.
However, with seemingly simple steps, she, who had never made dumplings before, really ended up "hastily".
Ruoshui showed her rare smile and said, "Little Qiao, I don't believe that such pretty hands can make such ugly dumplings..."
Zhou Linshan laughed out loud when she heard this.
Qiao Chu dipped the flour with his index finger, applied it on Ruoshui's nose, and said, "Anyway, you'll swallow these dumplings later, it's not that particular."
Zhou Linshan said amusedly, "According to what you say, what kind of dumplings are there? You can cook the dumpling skins and fillings separately, and then mix them together and eat them."
Then, she smiled and said to Ruoshui: "If you ask her to do this kind of thing, she will always feel that it is a waste of time."
Ruoshui suddenly fell silent again, and stared at the flour on the table in a daze.
Qiao Chu soon noticed her psychological changes.Zhou Linshan is also a person who knows little things, she tried to divert her attention, saying: "Ruoshui, your craftsmanship is better than Qiao Chu, you can't stop, keep going, hurry up!"
Ruoshui finally regained his composure before continuing.She is dexterous, and she can learn how to make dumplings quickly and delicately.
Qiao Chu is not bad either, she is clever and quick-witted, and after repeated defeats, she has gradually become more comfortable.
Ruoshui pointed to some of the dumplings she made and said: "Little Qiao, you have improved, the most beautiful one, I recognized it, I will find it later."
It's rare that she is still playful. In order to let her identify more, Qiao Chu left marks on the dumplings she made. She said that they were Qiao's dumplings.
The three chatted and laughed casually, and then sat down to eat dumplings.
The rare thing is that Ruoshui ate ten of them in one go!If it was yesterday, she would not be able to eat even one.
Seeing how appetizing she was eating, Qiao Chu couldn't help but feel relieved, wishing she could eat more.
When Ruoshui got up to leave the table, Qiao Chu said to Zhou Linshan, "Thank you Joe, if it wasn't for you and today's dumplings, I'm really worried that she won't eat again."
Zhou Linshan said: "Let me tell you, Qiao Chu, Ruoshui likes to eat noodles, dumplings, wontons, noodles, steamed buns, bread, and pizza. When she was studying in Japan, her favorite food was buckwheat ramen. So, see for yourself Let's do it."
Qiao Chu looked at Zhou Linshan in surprise.She really didn't expect that she still had such a small memory of Ruoshui.
She thought that she had never been a careful person, or that she had forgotten all about it;
In Qiao Chu's heart, there was only one label on Zhou Linshan in the later period - she is a cold and heartless woman!
Really, she remembered that Ruoshui's favorite food was buckwheat ramen, and she always ate it with rattling noises, which was very delicious.
She asked Zhou Linshan her own question: "But will she reject food made of flour in the future?"
Zhou Linshan said nonchalantly: "If you don't take it seriously, she won't take it seriously. Qiao Chu, there is a difference between loving someone and being used to someone. If you want her to get out of the shadows, you can't bury her in the shadows with her." here."
Qiao Chu felt that what she said was very reasonable, so she kept nodding her head, "Yes, I understand."
The dumplings had just been eaten, when Zhou Linshan received a call from the company, she could only leave in a hurry. The laughter and laughter in the room disappeared with her departure, returning to the previous silence.
Qiao Chu never thought that Zhou Linshan would become so important between them.Now, she wished she could have stayed longer.At least, with her here, the atmosphere would be less calm and less sad.
While tidying up the kitchen, Qiao Chu found that Ruoshui was looking at things and thinking about others again, and fell into a painful mood again.
Walking out of the kitchen, she looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and she suddenly felt anxious.
She was going back to the company for a meeting soon, but she was worried that Ruoshui would stay at home alone.With frequent leave of absence these days, she can only hand over the work in hand to others, and now is the time to take it back.
She knew that Ruoshui needed company the most at the moment, but she was too busy to continue her vacation.
It is impossible for Ruoshui to take care of "Ruoqiao" in the short term.I really don't know what to do next.
Then it suddenly occurred to me that I went to Sangyang Town and entrusted Chu Chu to Peng Min those days, and it was time to take her home now.Wouldn't it be better to have Chuchu and Ruoshui by their side?
Qiao Chu went to turn on the TV and locked it on a variety show channel.She just wanted to break the silence of the house and make some lively noises.
In the sound of the TV, she said to Ruoshui: "I'll take Chuchu home later..."
Ruoshui still sat on the mat on the floor in a daze, and agreed vaguely.Qiao Chu walked up to her and hugged her, whispering in her ear: "Watch TV for a while, I'll be back soon, before dark..."
"Okay." She moved her eyes to the TV screen obediently.
When Qiao Chu changed her clothes and came out, she suddenly said to her, "Little Qiao, I don't want to watch TV anymore."
"Then don't watch it." Qiao Chu immediately went to turn off the TV, and turned back to play the vinyl records. Thinking about those old songs sounding more sad and desolate now, she immediately gave up the idea.
She had no choice but to tell her: "You have to be good, find something to do, promise me, don't make me worry, can you?"
"Yes." She nodded vigorously and said firmly.
Qiao Chu walked to the entrance, sat on the stool while changing shoes, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "Then I'll go..."
After putting on her shoes, she stood up, turned around and walked to the door, and just touched the doorknob with her hand, but she heard Ruoshui calling her.
Qiao Chu could only stop there.Ruoshui had already run over, hugged her, and begged her, "Little Qiao, I don't want to stay at home alone, I want to stay by your side, can you let me stay by your side?"
Everything was within Qiao Chu's expectation.She knew that Ruoshui had worked very hard, intellectually she wanted to make herself stronger, but emotionally she couldn't do it yet.
At this moment, she really wanted her to become a piece of flesh on her body, so that she could carry her with her.
38. Section 2
——Heartless——
Qiao Chu decided to take her by his side.This seems to be the only possible way.She asked her to change clothes, and went back to get her a warm jacket and some snacks.
Just like that, she let her stay in her office.Afraid that she is cold, afraid that she is hungry, and afraid that she is tired.
There is a sofa in the room, and she told her to lie down and sleep when she was sleepy, and ignore the people outside, but if there was no water, she didn't even lie down, even though she was in a state of laxity, she just kept quiet sitting.
There were some magazines in the cabinet, and she randomly picked one or two to pass the time.Not long ago, Jiang Yiying had applied to be transferred back to the group she used to work in.
Qiao Chu was very glad that she did not appear in her sight, she did not want her to come into contact with Ruoshui.
VanGuard has been so busy up and down these days, everyone is preoccupied with their own affairs, and no one pays attention to other people's affairs.
The lengthy meeting lasted three hours.When he returned to the room, Ruoshui was missing from the sofa.
Qiao Chu walked to the center of the huge office, looked around, and immediately someone noticed that she was looking for a girlfriend, and kindly pointed upwards and said, "She seems to be up there!"
Qiao Chu looked suspicious, and someone else immediately said, "The rooftop!"
rooftop?How could Ruoshui go up to the rooftop for no reason?
At this moment, the rooftop can only make her have ominous associations.No one knew that her current nerves were really weakened to a very pitiful level!
She felt that she was getting cold all over, so she quickly flew up and ran up.At the exit that was so narrow that only one person could pass through, she met a person, Jiang Yiying!She was very surprised why she appeared on the rooftop? !
"See Ruoshui?" She couldn't hide her panic.
Jiang Yanying pointed out, and said nonchalantly, "She's right there."
Qiao Chu couldn't help but question her: "You brought her up?"
Jiang Yiying said: "During your meeting, I saw her sitting in your room in a daze, so I brought her up to blow some air. I..."
Qiao Chu interrupted her angrily: "Do you need so many things?"
Jiang Yanying thought she had done a good thing, but she never thought that Qiao Chu would be so angry.
She stayed at the scene with a pale face, and she didn't intend to leave. She seemed to want to explain something, but couldn't say it for a while.
The door was narrow, Qiao Chu pushed her away and said, "You'd better stay out of my sight!"
Anxiously, she ran out of the empty rooftop and looked around, but there was no one. She could only go back to the small door in a panic, grabbed the arm of Jiang Yingying who was still standing there, and questioned her loudly: "Yes! You brought her up, where is she now? Where is she?"
Jiang Jiying had never seen Qiao Chu get so angry before, she was too frightened to neglect her, and she led her to turn right to the back of a high wall.Ruoshui was originally sitting there, sitting there intact.
The wind on the roof was really strong, and the sun was about to set. The fireball hung far away in the sky like a big balloon in a promotional advertisement, floating among the clouds, and Ruoshui stared at the sky intently.
Qiao Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to walk towards her, Jiang Yiying started crying behind her. Qiao Chu turned around in surprise, only to realize that she was too nervous and rude to her last second, and she immediately apologized to her: "I'm sorry, Jiang Yiying .”
The wind was very strong and it was blowing loudly, and Jiang Yanying shook her head violently while crying, Qiao Chu didn't know why she shook her head, she continued to apologize to her, saying: "I was wrong for treating you like that just now, I'm really sorry. "
Jiang Yanying cried more and more aggrieved.
Qiao Chu had no choice but to take a step closer to her, and said to her in a softer voice: "So you know how important Ruoshui is to me, no matter if you approach her with kindness or malice, I can accept you as a person again." Before, I begged you not to approach her without permission, is that okay?"
Jiang Yanying wiped away her tears, and said angrily, "I mean well. How can I have any malice? Do you think I will take her up to the rooftop and then push her down?"
Have you watched too many TV shows?I can only be so bad in your eyes?I know that her brother passed away unexpectedly, I have always wanted to condolences to her, and I just met her today..."
Of course Qiao Chu knew her problem, it was because she wanted to protect Ruoshui too much. "I'm sorry, I admit that I don't have trust in you, so I don't know what you will do. Trust between people takes time to build, and once it's broken, it's hard to repair. So, forgive me just now Really miss you that much."
"Are you going to doubt me no matter what I do now?"
"We can not doubt a person without any reason or condition, but the main premise is whether they are worthy of trust, right? Sorry, you are not that person yet."
Jiang Yanying said with some righteous indignation: "Qiao Chu, one day, I will prove to you that I can also be someone you don't doubt!"
"Okay, I'm willing to wait for that day." Qiao Chu was willing to encourage her.
With flushed cheeks, Jiang Yanying turned and ran downstairs.
Ruoshui didn't pay attention to what Qiao Chu and Jiang Yingying said some distance away.
Qiao Chu sat down beside her, looked at her with worried and reproachful eyes and said, "I'm very anxious to find you, do you know that?"
Ruoshui took her hand and said, "I'm sorry, I thought I'd just sit down for a while, but Jiang Yiying said she had time to accompany me, so we sat for a long time."
Looking at Ruoshui in the wind, Qiao Chu thought for no reason that when he went out to sea on the yacht, the strong wind also disturbed Ruoshui's half-length hair.
At that time, she wanted to reach out and straighten her messy hair, but she didn't have the courage after all.Now, she gently embraced her head and leaned against her own.In this way, the hair of the two people will not be disturbed by the wind.
Ruoshui said softly to her, "Jiang Yingying chatted with me here for quite a while just now."
Qiao Chu still couldn't develop a sense of trust in that girl, she asked, "What have you been talking about?"
What did Jiang Yiying tell Ruoshui all afternoon?
She went through it in her head and slowly relayed it to her lover.Yes, there are no secrets between them, and there will be no secrets. She doesn't want to hide anything from her, and she can tell anything to her. The most important thing is that she is willing to open herself up and make herself transparent. It used to be, and now it is more Yes, because she said that her life belongs to her, and since the day the accident happened, she has become more sure of this.
"By the way, I asked her why she thought of choosing an hourglass as a Christmas gift. She said that she had actually discovered me in the mall that day. She saw me buying an hourglass, so she followed me and bought the exact same gift."
Qiao Chu finally understood, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?
The coincidence was nothing but her creation.She only felt that Jiang Yanying was scheming, self-willed and disregarding the importance of things, but she didn't want to judge her in front of Ruoshui.
Ruoshui said: "She said that she did it just for fun, without any special intention, and she didn't expect that you would win her gift. Therefore, at one point she thought that you and her were also destined."
She continued: "I've found that if people like the same person, those people can actually talk to each other, because it shows that they have the same appreciation and taste in a way, and they have a common language.
It's just that they may be jealous of each other and don't want to talk, so they miss the opportunity to become friends with each other. "
Qiao Chu hugged her lightly, sighed and said, "Ruoshui, everyone you see in your eyes is a good person, you can't always find reasons for others, only to hurt yourself in the end."
"No matter how bad a person is, there is a good side. What's more, she is really not bad. Anyone's good or bad will have no effect on me.
If I can think of them better, I will be happier, and the world will be better, so I will not lose anything. "
"You are my kindest Beibi." Qiao Chu was silent for a while, but there was still a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart, "She brought you up, why did she leave you and go down by herself?"
"She didn't abandon me. She talked too much and was thirsty. She said she would go down and fetch two bottles of mineral water to continue the conversation."
Qiao Chu understood.It was she who completely misunderstood Jiang Yiying.
Ruoshui leaned against her and said, "Little Qiao, you look so nervous."
Qiao Chu reproached and said, "Of course I'm nervous that I can't find you."
"Don't blame Jiang Yiying, in fact, she is very pitiful."
"What's wrong with her?"
"She likes you, but you don't like her. From this point, she is already very pitiful. She is willing to stay with me because she wants you to pay more attention to her. From this point, she is also pitiful."
Qiao Chu frowned habitually again, and she said, "You are always so soft-hearted."
"But for all people, as long as there are any excessive thoughts and desires in their hearts, they will be restless all day long, and those who are restless are poor people.
No matter what people pursue, they will inevitably suffer all kinds of suffering.I can't get what I want, so I pursue it hard;
I got it and was afraid of losing it, so I was anxious all day long.Hungry, looking for something to eat, sleepy and looking for a place to sleep, busy running around every day, smiling when happy, crying when sad, what is the purpose of living like this? "
Qiao Chu stared at her blankly.I couldn't answer for a moment.She suddenly hated her mediocrity and lack of deep thinking about life.At this moment, I can't come up with a decent saying of wisdom after searching my brain.
"Actually, are you worried that I will jump off the roof?" Ruoshui asked her.
Qiao Chu dare not say that she has no such thoughts at all.She must be more afraid of losing her than Ruoshui is.In particular, she is still sinking in the great grief of losing a loved one.
Ruoshui said calmly: "Little Qiao, I will never do this. Apart from the fact that I miss you, there is another reason that suicide is not the end of life, but another continuation of pain. I figured it out a long time ago, so don't worry."
Qiao Chu felt very ashamed for those thoughts that flashed by unconsciously, but she was really relieved.
She took Ruoshui's hand and put it on her lap.The weather was so hot, but her hands were cold, so she kept rubbing them with her hands to heat them up.
A large fire cloud appeared in the sky, and it was slowly fluttering with the wind.The cloud seemed to be very close to them, as if they were within reach.
They all suddenly became quiet, and they couldn't help but raise their heads, fascinated by it for a while.
For the next three days, Qiao Chu shifted his work position to his home.In this way, she can stay by Ruoshui's side.
If the water is relieved, so is she.She cries less and she cries less
