She messed with me first

Will there be holidays if you are happy?

Qi Xi asked herself this way, and also asked Meng Qingrang, "Why do you ask such a question?"

Meng Qingrang held her wrist, and lightly pressed the blood vessels on her wrist with his thumb, "I have a lot on my mind, and I always feel that you still have something on my mind."

When she spoke, she still took the responsibility on herself first, and then asked tactfully.

It's a very comfortable way, which can easily arouse Qi Xi's depression that has faded.

She looked back at Meng Qingrang, her smile unreal due to the dim streetlights, "It's not that you're overthinking, it's that I didn't finish my sentence."

Meng Qingrang tightened his grip on Qi Xi's wrist, "Can't you tell me?"

Qi Xi, "It's not just you, no one can tell."

Meng Qing made Shuzhan's brows furrow quickly, but in an instant, he returned to his original state, "Okay, then I won't ask you any more."

Qi Xi felt strange, "You are so easy to talk today." As usual... being able to speak well gave her a headache.

Meng Qingrang said with a smile: "You are in a bad mood today, so I can't provoke you. If I hold grudges, I will be the one who suffers."

"Who holds grudges." Qi Xi laughed angrily, "Besides, you've offended me a long time ago, isn't it too late to say it now?"

"It seems to be." Meng Qingrang took the words in a logical manner, put it in his mouth for a while, and asked her in turn, "Then are you angry?"

"Not yet."

Or, he was used to her always messing with her like this.

This sentence popped up in my mind suddenly.

Qi Xi's calm heart beat wildly, and Meng Qing pulled back his palm, deliberately speaking heavily to cover up his unnatural expression, "However, the ugly words must be said first, once I get angry, it will be true." There is nothing to coax, I will definitely turn my head and leave when the time comes, and go far away, and I will never have any contact with you for the rest of my life."

Meng Qingrang put the hands that still had body temperature that didn't belong to him into his pockets, and said to her, "There won't be that day."

Qi Xi's eyes flashed brightly, "So confident?"

Meng Qingrang hesitated to speak, and deliberately said: "It's a bluff, don't tell others."

Qi Xi believed that she was the only one to blame.

However, if that day really won't happen, won't the intersection between her and Meng Qingrang last for a long time?

how long?

"Qi Xi." Meng Qingrang spoke again.

Qi Xi raised her eyes, "Huh?"

"Do you feel now that even if I'm not a good person, I shouldn't be a bad person?" Meng Qingrang asked.

Suddenly a new topic.

Qi Xi and her stared at each other for a moment, then let out a voice from her throat, "En." She had told herself a long time ago that this woman is not like a bad person.

Meng Qingrang smiled, "Then, can you stop being polite to me all the time?"

Qi Xi, "A request?"

"ask."

"..." Qi Xi raised her lips and smiled, her tone was rarely brisk, "Okay."

----

Knowing that Qi Xi would not go home on New Year's Eve, Tang Jia, who was 'abandoned' by Gu Yang, immediately called her to his home, with no other purpose - to travel during the holidays and lack a full-time driver.

So, in the next two days, Qi Xi almost drove the mileage of the past two years at once.

After finally getting onto the sofa and wanting to lie down for a while, Tang Jia, who had just entered the bathroom, suddenly poked his head out from the door and reminded her, "Remember to post to Moments to show your affection."

Qi Xi's mentality is a bit broken, not to mention that it takes a lot of brains to think about the copywriting when posting to the Moments, and she also has to spend energy to show Tang Damei a P picture. Just who to show the two women's show of affection, she has been thinking about it since she met Tang Jia , After thinking about it for almost ten years, I still can't figure it out.

"Huh???" Seeing that Qi Xi was silent, Tang Jia stared at him dangerously.

Qi Xi couldn't afford to offend her, so she reached out her hand from the table and touched the phone reluctantly.

Tang Jia's expression suddenly changed from gloomy to sunny, and he praised her in a nasty way, "Good boy." Qi Xi got goose bumps when she heard it, and she is now physically allergic to this word.

After tossing about for half an hour, Qi Xi finally settled the circle of friends, and he collapsed on the sofa and lay his body exhausted physically and mentally.

Tang Jia had already taken a bath, and was happily squeezing beside her to put on the mask.

"Is it ready?" Tang Jia asked.

"Yeah." Qi Xi embraced the pillow and turned to face in, too tired to say a word.

"My phone is charging, so I took yours to see it." Tang Jia said.

Qi Xi, "Look."

Tang Jia, "Show me a positive face."

Qi Xi tilted her head to do so, and gave her a piercing smile by the way.

Tang Jia felt no fear at all. Seeing that the portrait was unlocked successfully, she immediately clicked into WeChat to see Qi Xi's Moments. Xi, your photo skills are also poor, I have a few strands of hair torn out."

Qi Xi was speechless and forgot about the sofa.

After a few seconds of silence, she took the phone from Tang Jia's hand with a vicissitudes of life, and pressed it under her body.

Tang Jia stuck out her tongue and applied her mask while watching TV.

A few minutes passed, Qi Xi's ears were finally quiet, and sleepiness followed.

Just a little confused, the phone suddenly vibrated.

Because she was still under her body, the buzzing sound was very loud, and the vibration was also very obvious.

At that moment, Qi Xi wanted to die.

Who knows, how many cars she has driven and how many miles she has run in the past two days, her legs are hurting, and her waist is getting faster, so why can't she be allowed to sleep well? !

Qi Xi sat up irritably, Tang Jia was stunned with a gloomy expression.

"I didn't say anything!" Tang Jia raised his hand and swore.

Qi Xi glanced at her and took out the phone from behind.

"?!" Why is it Meng Qingrang?

She said in WeChat: [Have you had a good time these two days? 】

Qi Xi had consumed too much in the Moments just posted, and now his mind is still on standby. After reading it for a long time, he realized that Meng Qingrang must have seen his Moments before asking this question.

She stretched her legs and pressed the phone on her lap to type: [Not very happy/cracked]

Meng Qingrang: [What's wrong? 】

Qi Xi: [My best friend, just Tang Jia, her boyfriend and parents went back to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors, and they couldn't find a driver to take care of them these two days, so they tortured me desperately. 】

Qi Xi: [Can you imagine how tiring it is to go out at 9 o'clock in the morning every day, go shopping non-stop for a day, and come back at 10 o'clock in the evening? 】

Qi Xi: [It seems that I have lost interest in the beauty of this world.jpg]

Qi Xi typed fast, and replied three in a row. After sending all of them successfully, she turned around and suddenly felt that her tone was too 'spitting', and she was clearly complaining to Meng Qingrang.

He wanted to withdraw it, but he covered his ears too much. Besides, Meng Qingrang seemed to have seen it and was sending a voice back to her.

Qi Xi looked up at Tang Jia, who was watching TV with her back turned to her.

So, Qi Xi quietly reached out and took out the earphones from the bag thrown on the armrest of the sofa.

As soon as I put it on, Meng Qingrang's voice came back, "Yes, every time I visit the store, I walk all day, and I still wear high heels. Sometimes I feel that my feet are not my own, and I want to kick them off in the street."

Qi Xi imagined that scene, and couldn't help laughing out loud, which made Tang Jia tremble all over, and slipped away sideways like a crab, and asked Gu Yang for help in WeChat: [Xi Xi is irritable and laughs at one time, as if she has some serious illness ?Should I go out and hide? 】

Gu Yang: [What time is it... Do you want to wait and see for a while? 】

Without Tang Jia around, Qi Xi didn't have to keep hiding, but she still didn't reply to Meng Qing directly, but asked her by typing: 【Is it so hard to be a leader? 】

Meng Qingrang: [To tell you the truth, it is only one title short of the national leader. 】

Qi Xi laughed again.

She suddenly discovered a problem - once she noticed a special point in a person's personality, looking at it later, she felt that everything she did seemed to be different from before.Just like the 'kitten spread hands' emoji that Meng Qingrang sent later, in the past, no matter how she looked at it, she felt that she didn't match Meng Qingrang's identity, but now... maybe she has more than one emoji in her phone.

[Can you go out tomorrow? 】Meng Qing asked.

Qi Xi: [Go out. 】

Qi Xi: [Jiajia said that the last day of the holiday is the most fun day, because there is a sense of tension and awe of time. 】

Meng Qingrang: [That makes sense. 】

Qi Xi: […] She just made a fallacy.

Meng Qingrang: 【Tomorrow, let's get stronger and order Tang Jia to drive. 】

Qi Xi: [I think so too, but her driver's license has expired and she hasn't changed it yet. 】

Qi Xi: [Helpless.jpg]

This time, Meng Qingrang did not reply as fast as before, and it took about ten seconds before Qi Xi heard a '咻' from the earphone.

She blinked, letting her eyes focus on the small phone screen.

[Mine has not expired. 】Meng Qingrang said.

"?" Qi Xi's index finger stuck to the back of the phone unconsciously jumped down, and she immediately pressed it back tightly.

What does this mean?

Is it...

Meng Qingrang didn't give Qi Xi too much time to think. As soon as the previous article was sent out, the next article jumped out immediately: [Qi Xi, do you want to discuss something? 】

Qi Xi hung on the keyboard, pressing down with his fingers at a loss: [Yes, you say. 】

Meng Qingrang: [Tomorrow I will be your driver, and you will be responsible for playing. 】

really.

Qi Xi smiled quietly, pressed her bent legs to her chest, and said: 【We must be very tired from climbing the mountain tomorrow. 】

Meng Qingrang: [Isn't that just right?After you climb the mountain, you may not be able to drive a car anymore. 】

Qi Xi: [If you go, isn't it the same? 】

Meng Qingrang: [Don't worry, I have the habit of exercising, and my physical fitness should be better than yours. 】

Qi Xi: […]

Qi Xi: [Dejected.jpg]

Meng Qingrang: [Don't be discouraged, if I go, won't you have someone to call on you?After that, there is no need to find someone to complain. 】

That's right, Qi Xi thought to himself.

Moreover, she has to admit that after that night, she has no resistance to Meng Qingrang at all, and even feels that if she can have such a friend, she will definitely have a lot less troubles, but...Meng Qingrang likes women, and she said it herself I'm chasing her... Is it really appropriate to have frequent personal relationships with such a person?

Tang Jia had already finished chatting with Gu Yang, and ran back to sit in a happy mood. Seeing Qi Xi's eyes straightened, he asked curiously, "What's wrong with you today? Why are you laughing and crying all the time?"

Qi Xi retreated to the table and looked up at her, "Where did I cry?"

"Here." Tang Jia pointed to her tightly pursed mouth, and sighed, "It's so shriveled that a needle might not be able to poke it in. How depressing it must be."

Qi Xi realized later, let go of her mouth and pursed her lips, and asked tentatively: "If, I mean if, your goddess will be there tomorrow when you climb the mountain, can you accept it?"

Tang Jia raised his index finger and shook it firmly, "First, this 'if' cannot come true, and second, why can't I accept it? This kind of opportunity may not be as many times as I have married in my life, and I am not stupid. well!"

Tang Jia stepped forward with one leg, and couldn't hold back his excitement, "But, if there is such a chance, I might have to prepare some quick-acting heart-rescuing pills first."

"why?"

"It's too close, I'm afraid."

"...Will it be too exaggerated?"

"You don't understand." Tang Jia crossed her arms and said triumphantly, "Only two days before New Year's Day, she won another award abroad - the best women's clothing designer of the year."

"A great prize?"

"Of course, just, forget it, you don't know the name, anyway, the gold content is very high."

"Oh..." Qi Xi was perfunctory, then stared at Tang Jia thoughtfully, and said slowly before she let her imagination drive her crazy, "Why don't you order a box of quick-acting heart-rescuing pills now?"

Tang Jia's excitement stopped abruptly, his eyes locked on Qi Xi, and he asked, "Why did you buy it?"

Qi Xi avoided Tang Jia's creepy gaze, and said in an exceptionally calm voice, "Take it with me tomorrow. Your goddess said that she will come tomorrow for us... to be our driver."

"!!!!" Tang Jia petrified on the spot.

----

At seven o'clock the next morning, Meng Qing asked him to go downstairs for dinner.

Because of the New Year's Eve, it was rare for her to be out of work. She was called by her aunt Meng Zining to correct her eating habits in the past few days.

When Meng Qingrang came, Zhou Qi had already sat down at the dining table. Seen from the back, there was no problem, and he walked to the front... With his eyes closed, he was using a spoon to prop up his chin secretly to catch up on sleep.

Meng Qingrang didn't want to disturb Zhou Qi at first, after all, she came from this age and knew the importance of sleeping an extra minute in the morning, but unfortunately, Meng Zining came over.

Meng Qingrang raised his hand, using the movement of holding milk, put his index finger and middle finger together, and quickly flicked on the handle of the spoon.

In the next second, Zhou Qi's jaw hit the dining table firmly, causing him to scream in pain, and he stood up and shouted, "Who sneaked up on me..." The voice became weaker and weaker, and disappeared completely after Meng Zining sat down. , let out a drooping voice, "Mom."

Meng Zining looked serious.

She was shrewd and strong for half her life, racking her brains, but still couldn't figure out why she gave birth to a son like Zhou Qi?

One day, he either pretends to be a good boy with a hippie smile, or admits his mistakes in a timely manner. His personality is not as strong as that of a girl named Meng Qing.

"Sit down!" Meng Zining's tone was stern, and when he turned his eyes to Meng Qingrang, he immediately relaxed a lot, "Rang Rang, are you okay today?"

Meng Qingrang, "Yes, I have an appointment with a friend to climb the mountain."

"It's just right, take him away too, it's annoying to see it." Meng Zining said without looking at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi was directly confused. He climbed the mountain on the last day of the holiday. Will he still go to school tomorrow?Have you passed the test yet?

Meng Qingrang was also caught off guard, "Gu, my appointment today is..."

In the middle of Meng Qing's conversation, the aunt at home suddenly came over with Meng Zining's mobile phone and said, "Ma'am, sir's number."

Meng Zining and her husband Zhou Fang were childhood sweethearts, and they got their certificates as soon as they reached the legal age. Now more than 20 years later, they still seem to be in love when they meet.

Hearing that it was his call, Meng Zining's face instantly showed the joy of a little girl.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Meng Qingrang and Zhou Qi were both looking at him, and immediately turned cold and said, "Go away after eating, I'll be annoyed when I see you."

Meng Qing stopped swallowing, and turned her head to look at the back of Meng Zining leaving in a hurry.

When will she, a pond fish, be able to get rid of the bad luck that Zhou Qi always brings her?

----

After the meal, Meng Qingrang drove and brought Zhou Qi to the community where Tang Jia lived.

The two waited outside the main entrance.

Meng Qingrang told Qi Xi about the parking location on WeChat. Zhou Qi looked around the surrounding environment boredly and asked her, "Sister, who are you dating? Why didn't I know you have such an ordinary friend?"

In Zhou Qi's mind, Meng Qingrang's friends lived in a high-end residence worth more than [-] yuan per square meter at worst. Ordinary people living in ordinary communities without even a serious doorman would never appear In Meng Qingrang's social circle.

Meng Qingrang received Qi Xi's reply, put the phone aside, and said to Zhou Qi with a slightly serious expression: "I'll see you later, don't talk nonsense."

It was the first time Zhou Qi saw Meng Qingrang so serious, and his doubts deepened, "Who the hell?"

"You know..." Meng Qingrang wanted to speak, raised his eyes casually, and smiled, "Here we come."

"Huh?" Zhou Qi turned his head and followed Meng Qingrang's gaze, "Wow! Isn't that Sister Qi Xi?! You said earlier that your appointment was with Sister Qi Xi. I didn't need my mother to chase me away. I came out with you myself! "

After the decoration was over, Zhou Qi hadn't seen Qi Xi all this time. Occasionally, he would think of her telling cold jokes to himself in a serious manner, and remember the troublesome things he had talked with her, and he was somewhat worried.

Suddenly saw a real person today, so excited that he drove the door and ran down, beckoning to her, "Sister Qi Xi! Here!"

Qi Xi was lowering his head to talk to Tang Jia, when he heard someone tell him to raise his head subconsciously, seeing that it was Zhou Qi, he suddenly laughed and quickened his pace.

"Why are you here?" Qi Xi came over and asked.

Zhou Qi raised his hand and pointed his thumb behind him, "I came with my sister."

"Huh?" Qi Xi turned slightly and looked behind Zhou Qi, and sure enough, she saw Meng Qingrang had got off the driver's seat and was looking at her with one arm on the car door.

Looking at each other, Meng Qingrang pointed at Zhou Qi with the sunglasses hooked on his fingertips, and said helplessly, "The dog skin plaster has not been shaken off for 20 years."

"Sister..." Zhou Qi's heart ached.

Qi Xi patted him on the shoulder in a funny way to comfort him, and then said to Meng Qingrang, "I'm sorry to trouble you today."

Meng Qingrang, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, Meng Qingrang turned his head to look at Tang Jia who was behind Qi Xi and Zhou Qi, and took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Tang, long time no see."

Tang Jia ran out flattered, pretending to be reserved, "Long time no see, Mr. Meng is still handsome."

After the simple greetings were over, Meng Qingrang invited the two of them to get in the car.

Qi Xi thought Zhou Qi was here, so he must be the co-driver, so he walked back with Tang Jia knowingly.

As soon as his hand touched the handle, Zhou Qi shouted anxiously: "Hey, sister Qi Xi, where are you going? You must sit in the front, my sister wants to see you!"

"..." Qi Xi suddenly felt that the cold doorknob was a little hot, but it was far from enough to compare with Tang Jia's meaningful eyes.

Ever since Tang Jia found out that Meng Qingrang was going to be their driver last night, she had been in a state of gossip. When she went out not long ago, she asked in a sinister tone, "Are you really okay?"

Zhou Qi's current behavior is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, but anyone with a brain would not think that two unrelated people can be personally invited by his brother to sit in the co-pilot in the presence of his own brother.

But the problem is, she really has nothing to do with Meng Qingrang.

Qi Xi exhaled silently, and said to Zhou Qi as calmly as possible: "It's more suitable for me to sit in the back."

"Let's sit in the front." Meng Qingrang suddenly said, "You will help me navigate in a while. Zhou Qi has never been there, so I can't count on it."

"Yes, yes, I have never known the way since I was a child. Let me navigate, and we won't be able to get there after dark." Zhou Qi walked over directly, grinned at Tang Jia, and asked her, "Sister Tang, is it okay for us to sit together? ?”

Tang Jia withdrew his gaze from Qi Xi's face, and smiled back at him, "Of course it's no problem, who doesn't like to look at pretty brothers."

"Simply perfect, get in the car."

"okay."

Tang Jia squinted her eyes, and mouthed to Qi Xi, "Go home tonight and tell me the truth!" Then, he pressed his elbow hard against Qi Xi's waist, gasped her in pain, and withdrew his conditioned reflex. He was still holding the doorknob.

Tang Jia took the opportunity to open the car door and sit on it with Zhou Qi, and then slammed it shut with a bang, leaving Qi Xi with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Meng Qing asked the onlookers to watch the whole process, and couldn't help laughing, "It's what everyone expects, let's get in the car?"

Qi Xi didn't have any other choice, her shoulders sank, Bao slid down, was caught by her hook, and she carried her into the car.

"How?" Meng Qingrang asked.

Qi Xi, "Go to the main road first and get on the overpass."

Meng Qingrang, "Okay."

The heating in the car was very good, and Meng Qingrang had just stood outside for a long time, when he came up suddenly, a layer of fog formed on the sunglasses, making it impossible to wear them.

She took it off casually, handed it to Qi Xi who was putting the bag under her feet, and said, "Wipe it for me, I can find the glasses cloth in the usual place."

Qi Xi didn't think much, and instinctively went to pick it up.

They were heading east now, and the sun was right in front of them, and it would be too harsh without sunglasses.

Hearing two long "huh" in unison from behind, Qi Xi's fingertips trembled and touched the back of Meng Qingrang's hand.

At the same time, Zhou Qi's loud voice floated over from behind, "Sister Qi Xi, have you ever been in my sister's car? I didn't even know she had glasses cloth in her car."

Qi Xi smiled slightly, she really wanted to tell Zhou Qi that sometimes it was okay to pretend to be confused.

"Sit well, if you don't talk, no one will treat you as dumb." Meng Qingrang said what was in Qi Xi's heart, then pushed the sunglasses forward, and said nonchalantly, "Just wipe it, the light is too bright, the eyes Can't open it."

Qi Xi couldn't get off the tiger, so he pinched one side of his glasses and said, "Wait a minute."

----

Tang Jia likes to climb wild mountains, saying that there are few people, no roads, and everything is left to fate, which is more interesting than climbing mountains in scenic spots.

Qi Xi is not good at all. She either goes to work or works overtime every day. She rarely has outdoor activities. Every time she climbs very hard. In the past, Tang Jia would slow down and wait for her when she saw that she was dying. Today is good, but I don’t know why They got into a fight with Zhou Qi, and the two made a bet that whoever reached the top of the mountain first would eat the only beef self-heating hot pot.

For the sake of appetite, after entering the mountain for a while, Tang Jia and Zhou Qi disappeared without a trace, leaving Qi Xi and Meng Qingrang slowly moving up behind.

There is no life in the mountains in winter, the branches are thin, the weeds are barren, and there is only withering in the eyes.

Qi Xi couldn't find any scenery to distract his attention. The more he climbed up, the heavier his hands and feet became, his chest began to feel stuffy, and the cold wind poured into his throat, which was so hot that it hurt.

Sensing her discomfort, Meng Qingrang turned around and asked, "Is it okay?"

Qi Xi stopped and looked up.

Meng Qing, who was a few steps ahead of her, asked Backlight to stand under a dead tree. His face was not flushed, he was not panting, and he still looked calm and calm before entering the mountain.

In this regard, she didn't lie to her - she has really good physical strength.

Qi Xixin said, but she...

"Not very good." Qi Xi replied truthfully.

Meng Qingrang walked down, stood in front of Qi Xi, and asked her, "Do you want me to take you away? This is still far from the top of the mountain."

Qi Xi was wiping his sweat, and when he heard that his eyelashes trembled slightly, he said, "No need, my palms are also sweaty, sticky and uncomfortable to hold."

Meng Qingrang chuckled, "I hold my hand, and I don't mind it. Why do you think so much? Besides, even if it's really uncomfortable, I can still throw it away? There is a saying that is good, kneel down on the road you choose It’s time to go too, isn’t it?”

Qi Xi was amused by her, "You didn't choose this mountain road either."

Meng Qingrang, "But I begged to be your driver."

"..." Qi Xi was stunned for a moment, her tone revealing helplessness, "I'm really afraid that you will talk."

Meng Qingrang didn't take it seriously, and stretched out his hand to Qi Xi in the silence, looked at her and said, "Mr. Qi, can you save me some face, okay?"

Qi Xi watched Meng Qingrang quietly for a while.

Suddenly, Don't overturned his head and laughed, and turned back to face her, his face was full of the bright sunlight in the mountains and forests, "I have never seen a person like you before, you are always helping, and you have to put on a show every time." A pitiful look, who can refuse like this."

There was a resentment in Qi Xi's tone that she didn't notice, it was a kind of resentment towards someone close to her.

Meng Qingrang was so keen that she could hear it, and a smile appeared on her brows and eyes. Even though she was still as peaceful as ever, it didn't affect her good mood outside in the slightest.

"Is it an answer?" Meng Qing asked Qi Xi to confirm.

"Yes—" Qi Xi smiled, and slapped her hand directly into Meng Qingrang's palm, and she caught it firmly and squeezed it tightly.

At this time, the breeze is just right, blowing through the warm sun, without the slightest coolness of winter.

----

Qi Xi and Meng Qingrang stopped and stopped all the way, and arrived at the top of the mountain just in time for noon—the sky was sunny and the view of the distant mountains was wide, which was completely different from Qi Xi’s dizziness and fatigue when he stumbled and climbed to the top of the mountain in the past. Today, she only sweated a little , Meng Qingrang, who had been pulling her... seemed to have lost his breath at last.

"Sister! Sister Qi Xi!" Zhou Qi looked forward to the stars and the moon, finally looking forward to the two people appearing, and excitedly raised his chopsticks to call them.

Seeing the hands tightly held by the two, Zhou Qi's eyes widened, and he said curiously, "While girls climb mountains, do they have to hold hands?"

Tang Jia was yelling at the uncooked beef hot pot, but he turned his head quickly when he heard this, his eyes just fixed on the movement of the two people looking at each other and smiling, and letting go of each other's palms.

Recalling today's events, her expression gradually became dignified.

After that, as if she didn't hear or see anything, she walked over quickly and took Qi Xi's arm, asking her why she was so slow.

Tang Jia, who was speaking, stood in the middle of the two, completely separating them.

Meng Qingrang smiled silently, turned to Zhou Qi and said, "There is no way in the future, I was afraid that your sister Qi Xi would fall if she could not walk steadily, so I gave her a hand."

"Oh." Zhou Qi nodded repeatedly, then turned to Qi Xi and said, "Sister Qi Xi, it's time for you to exercise."

Tang Jia also heard Meng Qingrang's words, and suddenly regretted that he was patronizing the bet with Zhou Qi, and even forgot that Qi Xi rarely climbed wild mountains, and his physical strength would not be able to keep up. I exercised a lot and didn’t listen, do I regret it now?”

Qi Xi was wronged, and responded obediently: "Yes, I will put the exercise plan on the agenda when I go back today."

"Liar, I've heard you say this since college, and it hasn't been fulfilled for almost ten years." Tang Jia pulled Qi Xi to sit in his previous seat, took a pair of chopsticks for her and said, " Hurry up and eat something to replenish your strength."

Qi Xi took it and was about to eat it. When he saw the words 'beef hot pot' on the box, he asked with a smile, "You didn't win it with your dignity. Are you really willing to give it to me?"

Tang Jia hummed, and took a bite of the apple, "You can't bear to say one more word."

Qi Xi didn't say anything, but deliberately ate with gusto to make her greedy.

On the side, Zhou Qi lost the game and only got a box of water shield hot pot, and he gave it to Meng Qingrang dejectedly, and said, "Sister, you can just eat it."

Meng Qingrang rubbed his messy head casually, and said with a smile, "Eat, I'm not hungry yet."

Meng Qingrang took a bottle of water from her bag, walked to the side of the mountain and sat down, while blowing the gentle mountain breeze, looking for the spring scenery that was trying to emerge in the midwinter, thinking: One day, she will combine the invisible four seasons with The tangible mountains and rivers are cut into the design together - half of the natural colors are shared by humans, and half of the magnificent mountains and rivers belong to the country alone. It will definitely be an amazing color that is different from any design in the world.

"Xixi, is your phone ringing?" Tang Jia said suddenly.

Meng Qingrang's thoughts were interrupted, and when she turned around subconsciously, she saw Qi Xi was holding a small bowl in one hand, with chopsticks in her mouth, and was fumbling sideways for her phone from her bag.

"Who is it?" Tang Jia asked.

Qi Xi, "My dad." When she spoke, her expression was much heavier than before.

Meng Qingrang saw that the hand on the bottle cap stopped.

"dad."

"Xixi, are you busy?"

Qi Xi, "No, I went hiking with some friends today."

"Climbing the mountain." Qi Yongzhi's voice stopped for a while before it came again, "Then you have fun, Dad hangs up first."

"Dad." Qi Xi called to stop Qi Yongzhi, his tone anxious, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, Dad is afraid that you won't let you go home, and you feel uncomfortable, so I called to ask." Qi Yongzhi said.

Qi Xi didn't hear anything wrong from his tone, and reluctantly let go of the raised heart, and chatted with him for a while pretending to be relaxed.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Jia leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Xixi, why is uncle calling? Is it at home..."

"Shh." Qi Xi stopped Tang Jia, and from the corner of her eye she saw that Meng Qingrang, who was not far away with her back to them, did not make any movement, so she shook her head and said, "It's nothing, let's chat."

Having said that, Qi Xi still couldn't help thinking about it.

Qi Yongzhi has the typical personality traits of northern men—introverted and reticent. Even on special holidays when he is often accompanied by reunions, he rarely takes the initiative to call Qi Xi, let alone worrying about her feeling uncomfortable. white emotional expression.

He must have left something to say just now, but from the tone of his voice, it seems that there is really nothing special.

She must have thought too much.

Qi Xi smiled and turned off the phone.

Tang Jia didn't see anything wrong from Qi Xi's face, and heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good."

After eating the apples, she opened her camera bag and said, "Xixi, I'm going to take a picture of the scenery for a while, you eat slowly, and I'll take pictures for you later."

Qi Xi, "OK."

Soon, Tang Jia disappeared into Qi Xi's sight with the camera on his back.

She stuffed the mobile phone on her abdomen back into her bag, and picked up the chopsticks again.

Thinking of Meng Qingrang for no reason, Qi Xi raised her head and looked at her who was sitting alone not far away—with only a half bottle of water in hand, her back was soaked in the mountain wind, quiet and straight.

Qi Xi looked away, looking at the beef soaked in hot soup, hesitating.

After a long time, Qi Xi got up and went to sit next to Meng Qingrang, handed over the beef he picked up in a small bowl, and said, "If you don't mind it, eat some."

Meng Qingrang was thinking about something when he heard the sound and turned his head.

Seeing what Qi Xi handed over, Meng Qing added a layer of sunshine to his calm eyes, "Give it to me, aren't you afraid that Tang Jia will be jealous?"

Qi Xi was indeed guilty, but she couldn't go back on what she said and the water she poured out, and besides, she would never do such an unconscionable thing as starving a person who dragged her all the way to the top of the mountain.

"I'll treat her to a double portion when I go back." Qi Xi said.

Meng Qingrang looked up at her, "It means, I am more important now?"

"..." Qi Xi looked forward and said softly, "Yes."

The layer of sunlight in Meng Qingrang's eyes was completely shattered, she took it over, and there was a little smile in her voice, "Then I will be disrespectful."

----

On the way back, Tang Jia and Zhou Qi leaned back and fell asleep early because of the exhaustion of the game.

Qi Xi was pulled up and supported by others. It didn't take much effort, and he gave way to Meng Qing energetically along the way.

After entering the urban area, Qi Xi first woke up Zhou Qi who was about to go back to school to get off the car. When he arrived at Tang Jia's house, Qi Xi refused Tang Jia's decision to continue staying with her at night on the grounds that he didn't bring his work card and work clothes. Qing Rang continued to walk forward and sent her to the gate of the community.

"Mr. Meng, thank you so much today, do you want to have something to eat together?" Qi Xi said.

"No, it's too late, you go back to rest early, you've been tired all day today." Meng Qingrang turned to look at her, and reminded, "It's best to soak your feet when you go back at night to relieve fatigue. From tomorrow onwards, your legs will hurt and last for three days. From day to week, bear with it, there is no good way to relieve the muscle soreness caused by exercise, you can only keep exercising to get used to it."

Qi Xi knew all this, but she didn't think it was superfluous to listen to Meng Qingrang's detailed explanation. She unbuckled her seat belt, lifted the bag under her feet and said, "Drive slowly on the way back, good night."

Meng Qingrang, "Good night."

Meng Qingrang quietly watched Qi Xi push the door and get out of the car, with one foot firmly planted, when she suddenly called her, "Qi Xi."

Qi Xi's movement of getting out of the car stopped instantly, and she quickly turned back, "Huh?"

Meng Qingrang seemed to have something to say, and Qi Xi was ready to listen seriously. Unfortunately, after a few seconds, she just smiled and said, "It's okay, go back."

Qi Xi felt empty for no reason, grabbed her bag tightly, and got out of the car quickly.

It was cold outside the car, and Qi Xi stood there watching Meng Qingrang's car go away little by little.

When she was out of sight, she put her hands to her lips and breathed out, then turned and walked towards the community.

Not long after entering, Meng Qing, who had turned the corner, asked to pull over, turned on the double flashing lights, and dialed Zhou Mai's phone, "Help me confirm something."

In less than 2 minutes, the second call came back, "No need."

In the business field, she has always insisted that to understand the opponent, she must understand herself better than the opponent herself. For people, she can't, especially Qi Xi.

She doesn't tell her about some things, doesn't let her listen, and pretending not to know is the best response she should give.

Qi Xi had no idea how repetitive Meng Qingrang's mental activities were. When she got home, she first went to the neighbor downstairs to 'redeem' the glutinous rice balls.

The neighbor also has a dog, and he was only impressed by the boundless temperament of the glutinous rice balls from the first time he saw it. Unfortunately, he is as noble as glutinous rice balls, and he has always looked down on professional households who demolished the house. Qi Xi just wanted to see if the Erha and the golden retriever could give birth. What kind of cub, so as long as she goes out, she will definitely foster the glutinous rice balls with her neighbors.

A care fee of 20 yuan a day, bring your own dog food, very cost-effective deal.

At the same time, it is cost-effective, every time the glutinous rice balls are brought back, it will sulk with her for a while, the shortest is 5 minutes, it is hard to say if it is long, and it is possible to ignore her for several days.

This time it seems to be the latter, but the fundamental reason is not that he was fostered by the owner elsewhere, but... the owner doesn't love it anymore.

Not long ago, Qi Xi, who had just brought Tangyuan back, sat in front of it flatteringly, playing games with it, trying to make it take care of herself, but she didn't want Tangyuan's attitude to be particularly firm, so she refused to accept her sugar-coated cannonballs.

The only thing that makes Tang Yuan react is that Qi Xi wants to shake hands with it.

This is Tangyuan's favorite interaction. Every time after holding it, she would hum and rub her head against Qi Xi.

Qi Xi grasped this point and proudly reached out to it.

Tangyuan's bright little eyes turned around, and after a while, she couldn't help but meet Qi.
