Ruoshui Qiaochu

meaning.

"She stopped visiting me, so I came. I rarely came before because she would visit me. I just didn't expect to come this time with such a heavy heart. For me, she has tried her best, I know ..."

Qiao Chu just frowned and stared at her, she fell into deep thought when she couldn't speak, only heard Ruoshui suddenly said in her ear - "Because she fell in love with you, Xiao Qiao."

Like a terrible thunder, Qiao Chu was shocked by this sentence.

"Who? Impossible. How is this possible? She can't!" She instinctively spit out this sentence excitedly.

"Little Qiao, don't do this, it's not your fault." Ruoshui said tolerantly.

Zhou Linshan loves her?How can this be?She seemed to hear a very absurd story, but it was so true that it was said from the mouth of the girl who made her feel so distressed that she could hardly help herself.

Qiao Chu's emotions were chaotic, which made her almost fall into an unprecedented emotion, which was almost called panic.

She buried her head deep in her legs, completely losing the ability to think.Ruoshui put his hand on her shoulder lightly, as if comforting her.

She heard Ruoshui's voice still on the same frequency as before, and she said: "So, Xiao Qiao, don't blame her... From the beginning to the end, she didn't hide from me, nor did she lie to me, she said, she changed herself Heart, feelings can't wait until there is a rate of return to affirm its value, she can't go back to the past..."

"Today's beautiful flowers will wither in two days. This is impermanence. You can't keep a flower from withering, and you can't control another person's heart. People can't explain impermanence, they can only accept impermanence. Impermanence is, on the contrary, a kind of normality.”

Qiao Chu raised her head slowly, but her face was full of tears.

That night, compared to the previous few times, Qiao Chu's brain was stimulated more vigorously. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep at all.

She involuntarily fell into the time tunnel, and time quickly brought her back to four years ago!

RealMccoy, Zhou Linshan was the first person to appear in front of her. She led her to her current seat and told her that her name was JoeZhou.

That day, for Qiao Chu's joining, Zhou Linshan mobilized more than a dozen colleagues in the department to have dinner together, and she said proudly, "Today I treat guests!"

Just like that, Qiao Chu sat next to Zhou Linshan, and everyone surrounded her, as if she was a rising star, a very shining rising star.As a newcomer, she was a little shy, with a respectful attitude.

When Zhou Linshan introduced her to everyone, she was grand and solemn: "Qiao Chu, a newcomer in the company, graduated from IT University with outstanding grades, and everyone will take care of the newcomer in the future."

Zhou Linshan spoke English to her at first. IT people have strong English skills, otherwise they cannot survive in this line of work.

After a week, she suddenly appeared in front of her one morning.This time, she began to speak Chinese, and she said, "My name is Zhou Linshan. Attention, it is the one who welcomes you."

Her reborn image became another person.I don’t know why that day, she was very bright and charming, her lips were painted with bright lipstick, which made her mouth look much bigger than usual, her hair was permed, and her curly hair was dyed brown, Draped very casually over the shoulders.

Qiao Chu was dumbfounded, she had never seen anyone introduce herself once, and there was a second time, and there were English and Chinese versions, so she laughed, and Zhou Linshan also laughed.

Next, she flicked her cloud-like hair, and asked Qiao Chu with a charming face: "Do you like my hairstyle today?"

Qiao Chu replied sincerely: "Very beautiful."

She actually said: "I'm not asking if you're pretty, I'm asking, do you like it?"

Qiao Chu didn't dare to say that she didn't like it, so she said she liked it.Zhou Linshan smiled with satisfaction, pulled her over and took her to the shopping mall opposite the company.

Qiao Chu foolishly could only follow along.She picked out two dresses for Qiao Chu and pushed her to the dressing room to try them on.

With the serious tone of an elder in her enthusiasm, she said: "Your face, your figure, you must look good in them. Go, wear them and come out for me to admire."

Qiao Chu thought it was a "work package", so although her head was full of confusion, she obediently obeyed.

If Zhou Linshan wanted to eat her alive, it would probably be possible at Qiao Chu's age. Of course, Zhou Linshan didn't.

Later, Zhou Linshan gave her the clothes.Qiao Chu also asked stupidly: "I want to wear it to work?"

She said: "No, just wear it for me to see. Hahaha."

Zhou Linshan is always used to asking her questions in the same way, directly and blatantly. For example, she is very proud of her long and straight beautiful legs, she would ask Qiao Chu: "Do you think my legs are connected? Do women also have fantasies when they see it?"

Qiao Chu replied seriously: "I think so."

She said, "What should be, I'm asking you now if you're fantasizing?"

Qiao Chu had no choice but to answer honestly: "Frankly speaking, no."

Zhou Linshan was so angry that she let out a "demon" and scolded her: "There is no interest at all. You need to learn answering skills!"

Qiao Chu never thought it was vulgar for Zhou Linshan to ask these questions, she just thought she was very enchanting. Although Zhou Linshan's open question made her colleagues make fun of her "office sexual harassment" to the little girl, everyone ended up laughing because she was not Someone else, but Zhou Linshan, an excellent IT student!

For a woman whose personality and temperament are very different from her own, Qiao Chu can accept and find it interesting and amusing.

Sometimes she will be funny in her heart, but she just doesn't like to buy her.As for Qiao Chu, due to her personality, she has never been a girl who knows how to act like a baby, let alone the kind of girl who can talk coquettishly. Although she can get along intimately with friends and colleagues of the same sex, she is not like some girls who always like Whispering with people, hooking shoulders, hugging and hugging, she doesn't belong to this type.

Zhou Linshan took good care of herself. At that time, she couldn't tell she was 39, at best, she was only 32 years old.

She often takes the initiative to mention her husband, her son, and her family.In Qiao Chu's eyes, she is a woman with a happy family.

She always calls Qiao Chu at her family gatherings.She said: "You have no relatives and no reason, and your only uncle has immigrated again. From now on, you will celebrate the New Year with me, and you are not allowed to refuse."

That kind of tone was not asking for her consent at all, but that she had to agree.

At that time, Sophia, who was not suitable for Zhou Linshan, took a chance to say a word to Qiao Chu: "Qiao Chu, little girl, be careful with J." J refers to Zhou Linshan JOE.

Qiao Chu didn't even dare to ask, why should Zhou Linshan be careful?Why should you care about her?

Zhou Linshan was so kind to her, so she never took this kind reminder to heart.

Qiao Chu, who is young, energetic and extremely enthusiastic about work, breaks into RealMccoy and Zhou Linshan's life at the same time.

After the two worked together for a year, Zhou Linshan expressed her love and respect for Qiao Chu more than once in front of colleagues. Once at a colleague party, she held her hand passionately and said: "Qiao Chu is a leader in the industry. The leader! I am optimistic about her."

Their feelings are boundless.Qiao Chu admits that she is a precocious girl, and the early death of her parents doomed her to be very independent since she was a child, and she has a high emotional intelligence.

Therefore, her relationship with Zhou Linshan, whether in public or private, was soon on an equal footing.

She was only 24 years old at the time, she was definitely not a little girl who needed to be reminded by Zhou Linshan everywhere, and she didn't need her to take special care of her.

In terms of work, she will soon be able to complete it independently.On the contrary, Zhou Linshan had to ask her about any unsolvable troubles in her life.

She is her confidant.In the years that followed, Zhou Linshan began to rely on her and needed her. Qiao Chu's identity was a colleague, a friend, and an assistant. Sometimes she was not feeling well, and she would act like a baby to her. She liked her and cared about her.

People in the company treat them as people of the same age, there is no obvious age gap, and there are no communication barriers, because they have a common language at work, and they are not like two generations, there is no generation gap.

From the second year of RealMccoy, Qiao Chu found that she was always working day and night, falling into a state of madness, as long as Qiao Chu was there, she would be there.

Qiao Chu felt that she was a newcomer, so she worked extra hard. Looking back now, Zhou Linshan seemed to use work to escape from something, and she began to ignore everything in life——

Qiao Chu can only think of one situation that may be more consistent with the facts—maybe, she is just the second Ruoshui!

Did Zhou Linshan treat Ruoshui like this at the beginning?

The difference is that Qiao Chu didn't fall in love with her.She even ignores all the tentacles she sticks out!

12. Section 4

——Impossible and later——

On the second day after returning from the sea, Qiao Chu fell ill, with a high fever approaching 40 degrees.She took leave of absence to see a doctor, and then slept at home until dark.

In the muddle-headed dream, she was still on the shaky yacht. Typhoon No. [-] was blowing on the sea, and the ship shook violently, making her dizzy;

The huge waves rolled up by the bow of the ship are like a terrifying bloody mouth, ready to swallow the whole ship at any time.

She held Ruoshui's hand tightly, but watched helplessly as the deck where they were lying on kept tilting to one side.

Even though the storm was raging, the sunlight was strangely fierce, blinding her eyes.

She woke up in a blinding glare.

In a haze, she saw Zhou Linshan coming, standing in front of the window, she opened the heavy curtains, and filled the originally dark room with sunlight.

Qiao Chu turned over and pulled the quilt up to face the wall, hiding from the sun on the one hand, and avoiding Zhou Linshan on the other.

The key to Qiao Chu’s house was given to Zhou Linshan on her own initiative in the past. She once half-seriously half-jokingly told Zhou Linshan that she is a woman who lives alone. If she dies at home one day, at least she can open the door and come in to clean up for her. .

This kind of thinking made Zhou Linshan often become nervous. Whenever Qiao Chu didn't show up for more than half a day, she would panic and want to rush into her house.

Zhou Linshan walked to her bed, went to see her, and asked her with concern: "After taking the medicine, are you feeling better?"

Qiao Chu wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and even shrank back into the wall.Zhou Linshan thought she was afraid of the light, so she had to go to the window and close the curtains, returning to the way she walked into the room just now, she said: "It is better to let the indoor air circulate when you are sick." But, turning around, she found that Qiao Chu was still unwilling to turn over and face her.

Zhou Linshan wanted to touch her forehead to see if she had a fever, but Qiao Chu's was a double bed, and she was lying in the deep part of the bed.

The bed was against the wall, unless Zhou Linshan climbed onto the bed, she couldn't touch her at all.

She did it on purpose, she knew it.Since yesterday, she has been reluctant to say a word to her.

Of course, Zhou Linshan knew what it was for, but she just didn't know the real details and content, anyway, it must have something to do with her and Ruoshui.

She gradually regretted letting her meet Ruoshui that day.However, apart from Qiao Chu, there is really no one else in life who can do this for her.She felt helpless.

"Just now I went shopping in the supermarket and bought you a lot of food and drink, and put them in the kitchen." Zhou Linshan said.

Qiao Chu remained motionless.Zhou Linshan pulled the only chair in the room to the end of the bed and sat down.

This position is closest to Qiao Chu, where she can touch her feet.She shook her foot and said, "It seems that you will hardly get better tomorrow. I will ask for two more days off for you. You can rest at home."

Only then did Qiao Chu say vaguely, "Thank you."

Zhou Linshan tried to find something to say: "During the few days we went to sea, RealMccoy had two programmers here. They are both fresh meat. You have new people to lead."

The sickly Qiao Chu didn't want to speak at all, so Zhou Linshan could only say, "Whatever you want to eat, I'll get it for you right now."

Actually, Qiao Chu's fever didn't subside immediately because of the medicine. In addition to her whole body feeling cold, she also felt that her head was swollen, as if it would burst at any moment.She suddenly asked Zhou Linshan vaguely: "Where is Ruoshui? Where is Ruoshui?"

Zhou Linshan didn't answer her, but just looked at her.Qiao Chu asked again: "Tell me, where is Ruoshui?"

Zhou Linshan replied casually, "I'm going to go hiking, around Foshan."

"She went hiking alone?"

Zhou Linshan said: "Didn't I come here? I can't become two of me." She said it with confidence, and blamed her for asking questions knowingly.

"Bring Ruoshui, bring her to my house..." Qiao Chu almost never asked Zhou Linshan, this was the first time.

Zhou Linshan remained silent for a while before saying, "You are sick, why did you bring her here? You will infect her."

Qiao Chu said: "Then you should go too, I will also infect you with the disease."

Zhou Linshan was speechless for a while, and then said nonchalantly: "I am in good health! I have good resistance."

Qiao Chu said weakly: "Zhou Linshan, you are not a good person..."

Zhou Linshan was stunned for a moment, she heard this sentence clearly, but still asked: "What did you say?"

Finally, Qiao Chu said: "You don't need to be so nice to me."

Zhou Linshan said: "I didn't treat you well today..."

Qiao Chu said angrily, "There are other people around you who need your care."

Zhou Linshan's complexion immediately darkened, every time she received such and such information from Qiao Chu, she would get angry unconsciously.It starts with disappointment, then discouragement, and finally anger.

Qiao Chu felt that she hadn't said the last sentence well, so she said again: "You should put your love and time on your family, not on other people."

Zhou Linshan was a little excited, but couldn't say a word.She knew that Qiao Chu's thoughts had changed, and the "others" she referred to included not only herself, but also Ruoshui.

She put herself and Ruoshui together and said that she already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

Zhou Linshan knew that sooner or later the truth would be revealed to her, but she never expected how Qiao Chu would react, let alone how she should respond.

Zhou Linshan was hesitating, Qiao Chu said: "I want to be alone, is that okay?" This was her second request today.

Zhou Linshan sighed deeply.She didn't leave immediately, but sat alone for a long time, until she saw Qiao Chu lying still on the bed and thought she was asleep, then she got up and left gently, and closed the door gently.

After Zhou Linshan finally left, Qiao Chu turned over slowly, and tears poured out like that uncontrollably, blocking her entire throat and making her unable to breathe normally.

After the brief meeting on the yacht deck that night, she and Ruoshui never had any interaction again. On the return journey the next day, they were very silent and had their own concerns, including Zhou Linshan.

Qiao Chu stood alone in front of the railing looking at the sea, her mood was no longer the mood she had when she came here.

She let the sea breeze numb her face and mess up her hair, and she fell into a state of emptiness.

Qiao Chu once naively thought that although she could not reverse the relationship between Zhou Linshan and Ruoshui, nor could she mend Ruoshui's wounded heart, at least as Zhou Linshan's friend, she could give Ruoshui what she needed in their irretrievable relationship. Caring and companionship, but after a whole night of mental struggle, she realized that she was the most inappropriate person!

I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me.Qiao Chu never dreamed that she was the chief culprit who caused the breakup of other people's relationship.

The chill from the depths of her body kept attacking her, which forced her to curl up her body to resist the chill. She didn't know how long she struggled on the bed, vaguely in a half-dream, half-awake state, she saw Ruoshui He was sitting beside her bed.

Overjoyed, Qiao Chu stretched out her hand, but she couldn't touch her no matter what.She struggled to move her body outward.

However, just like she avoided Zhou Linshan this morning, now Ruoshui also avoids her, preventing her from touching her.

She asked her bitterly, when will she sing to her?

Ruoshui said, in the future.She asked her again bitterly, what kind of hand is her hand?

Ruoshui said, I will tell you later.

Qiao Chu asked sadly: Do we have a future?Ruoshui was silent, followed, she watched Ruoshui leave in silence.

She hinted at her, they no longer have a future, how could they have a future?

When she woke up, Qiao Chu felt that her nose and eyes were sore.

But it turned out that it wasn't a dream, Ruoshui really came, it was Zhou Linshan who brought her here.

In a daze, she heard Ruoshui whispering to Zhou Linshan, "I'll just go back later..."

Zhou Linshan gave a cold hum and opened the door to go out.Before leaving, she seemed to come forward and called Qiao Chu, the voice was very clear and close to her ears, Qiao Chu wanted to promise her, but he didn't have the strength.

Ruoshui sat at the end of the bed, turned around and stared at her.She touched her feet that were separated by a layer of sheets, and then she gently pinched her toes with her fingers and said, "I'm coming."

Her voice was high and lively, as if she intended to use this tone to greet Qiao Chu, as an opening statement that would make everyone feel better.

Qiao Chu was very moved, and she burst into tears while hiding under the quilt.What moved her, was Zhou Linshan finally willing to bring Ruoshui to her home?Or was it moved that Yu Ruoshui really let go and was willing to come to see her?

Ruoshui still maintained that relaxed and lively tone, she said: "Your room is so dark." Then, she got up and ran to the window.Like Zhou Linshan, she also opened the heavy curtains, which seemed to be an instinctive action.

Another room was filled with sunshine, and Qiao Chu saw her standing there with her back to the sun, just like she said to her against the wind on the yacht that day: "You are at the end of the sky, and I am at the end of the sea."

Qiao Chu only saw a dark figure with youthful curves and a swaying skirt.

Qiao Chu wiped away her tears, she didn't avoid the sun anymore, she tried to communicate with Ruoshui in a normal way.

Seeing Qiao Chu struggling to get up, Ruoshui said, "Don't move, don't move."

She told her not to move again, so Qiao Chu obediently did not move again, and she lay back on the bed again.

Qiao Chu seemed to see Ruoshui frowning for the first time, her skin was tanned, so her complexion was no longer pale.

Ruoshui asked her with concern: "Little Qiao, what do you think?" Qiao Chu smiled happily, and she said, "As long as I can see you. "

Later Qiao Chu insisted on getting up, she got out of bed, staggered two steps, top-heavy, Ruoshui supported her.

When she touched her hand, it was very cold, but she said, "Xiao Qiao, you are a good woman."

Ruoshui followed Qiao Chu out of the room, Qiao Chu went to the bathroom to wash up, and she stopped in her kitchen.

In the bathroom, Qiao Chu heard Ruoshui asking her gently: "What do you have in the kitchen? I'll make dinner for you..."

Qiao Chu leaned against the door, she had only one thought - such a good Ruoshui, why did you want to abandon Zhou Linshan?Why?Why?

When she came out of the bathroom, she saw that Ruoshui was already washing rice, and was about to put the pot on the gas stove to burn.

She actually knew where her rice was kept.Ruoshui said embarrassingly: "You know, I'm very good at activities in other people's homes, such as rummaging through things. I'm the best at it. I'll cook porridge for you." She said she laughed for a while.

A bolt of lightning quickly streaked across the sky, followed by a series of terrifying thunderclaps, as if someone was violently knocking on a steel plate on the roof.

Qiao Chu finally opened his eyes, the night was already completely dark, and the heavy rain poured down relentlessly.

It turned out that it was still a dream after all, a dream within a dream.Ruoshui had never been there, and the whole room was still as silent as Zhou Linshan had left.

Qiao Chu was very disappointed, her nasal passages and eyes were still sore, she took a deep breath with all her strength, she knew that if she didn't hold it well, tears would flow for thousands of miles at any time.

She heard a voice outside the door, it was Pan Liren.The person who cooked porridge for her turned out to be Pan Liren, the one who opened the curtains for her was also the one, and the one who gently pinched her toes with his fingers was also him.Qiao Chu's consciousness gradually became clear, and she actually opened the door for him.

It was the first time that Qiao Chu missed Ruoshui so much, but she felt that she would never see her again.It is impossible for them to have "the future".
