one to two

Ai You waited for Qi Xin to hang up the phone, got up and walked to the wardrobe, turned to look at Qi Xin and asked, "Do you want to go out?"

Qi Xin sat up, shook her head and said, "Probably not." Then, she walked behind Ai You, wrapped Ai You in her arms, rested her chin on Ai You's shoulder, and said softly, "Just wear casual clothes. , Xiao Lai must have told my mother that I went to exercise."

Ai You smiled, took the clothes off the hanger, turned around and put them in Qi Xin's hands, "Did you often go to the gym before?"

Qi Xin took the clothes back to the bed and said while changing, "I used to go there regularly before I hurt my foot, but I haven't been there for a long time." She changed her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Ai You opened the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom, and a gust of cool wind came blowing in her face. She walked to the balcony and took a few deep breaths, and her mind suddenly cleared up a lot.She stretched out her arms, then bent down to look at the green radishes, and unknowingly, a new layer of leaves grew, and a crystal dewdrop hung on the tip of many leaves.

"Would you like to go down and eat something with me?" Qi Xin walked out of the balcony, stretched out her fingers to catch the dew on a leaf, Ai You turned her head, her eyes followed her fingers, the white and slender hands were very It was warmth, which aroused her agitated heartbeat countless times.

"No, you go, I'll boil eggs myself later." Ai You said, turning her gaze back to Qi Xin's face, there was no trace of makeup on her clean face, and her facial features looked exquisite and translucent, with a very kind Everyone's ladylike demeanor.

Qi Xin smiled lightly, in terms of life, Ai You didn't need her to worry at all. "I'll go and have a look and I'll be back. Call me if you need anything."

Qi Yuelai managed to wait for Qi Xin to come back. When she heard the sound of the door opening, her eyes flickered, and she hurried forward to take the breakfast in Qi Xin's hand, and went to the kitchen to get the tableware.Yan Zhiying came here early in the morning, and she was really hungry now. When she saw Qi Xin coming back, she looked him up and down several times. If she had anything to say, she would wait until she was full.

The atmosphere at the dining table has been very quiet, and occasionally the "clinking" sound of bowls and chopsticks can be heard.After breakfast, Qi Yuelai took the initiative to clean up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them, and the other two continued to sit at the dining table. Yan Zhiying looked at Qi Xin with infinite emotion in her heart.

She only has one daughter, Qi Xin. Although she is not pampered in every way, she has spent a lot of time on her since she was a child. Unfortunately, over the years, the more she wants Qi Xin to follow her arrangement, the more she feels that The distance between Qi Xin and her is slowly expanding.The silence on the phone last night gave her a vague worry.It seems that she doesn't understand Qi Xin more and more. This daughter is no longer the cute and cute girl she was when she was a child.

"Ah Xin, last night, it was the first time you rejected my arrangement so directly, can you tell me, what are you thinking in your heart? You said that my arrangement is not what you want, what you want is What?" Yan Zhiying asked patiently, not wanting to make the atmosphere too stiff.She had hardly asked these questions before, and she felt a little uncomfortable asking them for the first time.No matter how busy she is at work, the road arranged for Qi Xin is always a bright road, and she can't figure out why Qi Xin always refuses.

Qi Xin looked at Yan Zhiying with mixed feelings in her heart. They are also mother and daughter. The atmosphere between her and Yan Zhiying always seemed to be negotiating. appeared in between.

"Mom, what I want is very simple. This is what I am like now. I have a job I like and have enough time. I can do whatever I want."

"You are irresponsible for life. Since you have time, why don't you build a family and raise the next generation? When you get old, who will take care of you?"

Yan Zhiying directly rejected Qi Xin's ideas. In her heart, Qi Xin's thoughts are completely immature now. She looked at Qi Xin and sighed: "I thought you would understand these truths after letting you be free for a few years. It seems that I was wrong. The past few years have only made you more undisciplined, and now you can't even find the direction of your life."

Qi Xin stroked her forehead, stood up and poured herself a glass of water.In the cabinet next to the water dispenser, the mug that Ai You used before was quietly next to her cup.She took the water glass and walked to the sofa to sit down. This place has a relatively open view and is not so depressing.

"Mom, do you think my choices are naive or wrong?"

Yan Zhiying didn't answer Qi Xin's question directly. She sighed, walked up to Qi Xin and sat down. It seemed that if she didn't get close to her now, this daughter might be like a kite with a broken string, and she didn't know where she would go. .

"You have to know that for a woman, the most important thing is not her job, nor what you want in your heart, but your family and children. Even if your career is prosperous, so what? You are alone, and you don’t even have a single person around you. What kind of success is this? Last time you injured your foot, if it wasn’t for Xiao Lai, would you still be able to go to work every day? You have suffered such a big loss, why? Still so obsessed."

Qi Xin couldn't refute Yan Zhiying's words, once he refuted, it was very likely that Ai You would be involved.She was not sure whether Yan Zhiying could maintain her current calm after learning of the real relationship between Ai You and her.

She hasn't tidied up this house for a long time, Qi Yue came to live here, the room is still as clean as ever, she looked around, the glass rose that Ai You gave her back then was still lying in the box, and there were several books on the bottom of the coffee table The books that Ai You had read before, whether it was her side or Ai You's side, the lives of the two had been closely intertwined, so it was very good.

Seeing that Qi Xin didn't answer, Yan Zhiying followed her gaze and found the glass rose in the cabinet. She wondered, when did Qi Xin like these fancy things?She stood up and walked to the cabinet, stared at the rose, turned around and asked Qi Xin, "Could it be that you already have a boyfriend?"

"No, don't think about it. You and Dad have been worrying about work and me all your life. Now that you are old, you can go out for a walk and enjoy yourself when you have time. I will arrange my affairs by myself. Don't always put me Be a child." Qi Xin walked to the balcony, the sunlight outside gradually became more dazzling, and the crown of the bauhinia tree downstairs was covered with lush leaves, swaying back and forth with the wind.

"If your life's major issues are not resolved, how will your father and I enjoy life?" Yan Zhiying said, walked to the sofa, took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Qi Xin, "This young man is the nephew of your father's colleague." , very talented person, you are obedient, go meet with him next week, get to know him first, maybe he is the type you like? Turn people away before seeing anything, this will only miss you Chance."

Qi Xin took the business card, walked into the living room without looking at it, and put it on the coffee table. "Mom, don't arrange these blind dates for me in the future. I won't go. I won't choose any of these people."

"You don't choose these people, so who do you choose?" Qi Xin's attitude made Yan Zhiying very angry.

Qi Xin stared at the glass rose for a long time, with thousands of thoughts in her heart, and she never told Yan Zhiying. She used to think that even if she said these thoughts, her mother would not approve them, so it was better not to say them.But now her relationship with Ai You has become a fact. As long as she wants to go on, Yan Zhiying will know about this matter sooner or later. Instead of being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative now.

"I……"

"Clang!"

Qi Xin was interrupted by the noise from the kitchen, she glanced at Yan Zhiying, turned and walked towards the kitchen.There was a frying pan lying on the floor, and Qi Yuelai was bending down to pick it up.

"What do you want to do? Come out?" Qi Yuelai asked in a low voice.

"Why not." Qi Xin glanced at the pot in Qi Yuelai's hand, looked into her eyes, and said with a hint of fearlessness in her shallow voice.

"Have you ever thought about the consequences? In this way, Ai You may lose her job, even you. Auntie can't be like Ai You's parents, and Ai You's peaceful life is very likely will be disrupted."

"Even if they don't say it now, they will know sooner or later. What's the point of procrastinating like this?" Qi Yuelai hit the nail on the head, and what Qi Xin said was true.

"But...but did you tell Ai You what you thought before you came here? Would she be willing to face aunt with you?"

This sentence finally caught Qi Xin. Ai You stayed in City A just to live a simple and comfortable life. Otherwise, the two of them might not have the chance to meet each other in this life. In case Yan Zhiying put pressure on Ai You because of this ...

Qi Xin sighed secretly: "Put the pot back." She said, turned and went back to the living room, sat next to Yan Zhiying, held her hand for a long time, until the temperature of both hands became the same. Yes, she said in a deep voice: "Mom, I really have someone I like this time, and she made that rose for me with her own hands. In this life, I would rather be alone than her. But I can't Bring her to see you, there are some things I haven't explained clearly to her, can you give me some more time?"

Qi Xin's words were serious and decisive, which made Yan Zhiying's heart beat up and down. She moved her lips, wanted to ask but didn't know where to start, and finally just nodded and said, "Ah Xin, Mom doesn't want you to suffer, so here's what you need to do." The boys you introduced are all well-informed, and you will never be wronged. But since you insist on your own ideas, then I will wait for you to bring that person to meet me and your father. No matter how much you like it, I will You can still get through this test with your father, I hope he can really give you happiness."

At this moment, Qi Yuelai came out of the kitchen. She glanced at Qi Xin with a serious expression on her face. Anyway, she had already spoken, so she could only continue walking.It was rare for Yan Zhiying to see seriousness on Qi Yuelai's face. She thought she had broken something in the kitchen just now, so she rushed to Qi Yuelai and asked, "Xiao Lai, are you okay? Are you hurt?"

"It's all right, I just accidentally knocked over the bowl. Auntie, are you on vacation today? Let's have lunch together later." Qi Yuelai originally wanted to change clothes, but returned after hearing Yan Zhiying's question.

"I won't eat lunch. During this period of time, the leaders of the province have come to inspect the work, and I still have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with." Yan Zhiying said, explained some things to Qi Xin, and left.

Qi Yue came to see Yan Zhiying off, and went back to the bedroom to change her clothes.In her memory, Qi Xin has never been so impulsive before. Feelings are such a thing as joy and worry.

After Qi Yue came to clean up, the two returned to Ai You's side together. Ai You was drying the clothes. She rinsed the new clothes they bought yesterday, and replaced the sheets with clean ones.

"I found that since my sister came to live with you, the number of times you change the bed sheets has greatly increased. Why?" Qi Yuelai said while helping Ai You to dry the bed sheets, her face full of disbelief A good smile.

Seeing Qi Yuelai's smile, Ai You unconsciously thought of the intimacy between her and Qi Xin, but how could these boudoir secrets be revealed, so she glared at Qi Yuelai, and walked back into the house with the laundry basket.Qi Yuelai looked at Ai You's slightly reddened face and smiled. Most of the newly washed clothes belonged to Qi Xin just by looking at the style. The tension at Qi Xin's house in the morning gradually dissipated. No matter what, Ai You was indeed worth it. Qi Xin is brave for her.
