She messed with me first

"The first time I saw her, she came to ask me to borrow cigarettes, and when she heard that I was willing to give it to her, she was secretly excited, which was not at all like the reaction that people of that age would have." Meng Qingrang said these words to others for the first time, Even though it has been a long time since she and Qi Xi met for the first time, she can still clearly recall her state of mind at that time, "I didn't think about it too much, and I asked by the way, knowing that she doesn't smoke, so I thought about it. It’s fine to be pretty, smoke whatever cigarettes, don’t make it the same as when I was abroad in the past few years, I was a person during the day, a ghost at night, and lived in a daze every day, so I changed my mind and rejected her.”

Lian Mu'an glanced down without a target, "Many people can do what you see, it's too common, if it were me, I wouldn't take a second look at all."

Meng Qingrang smiled and shook her head, "It's normal, but no one 'cries' so well like her."

The first time Meng Qingrang saw Qi Xi's eyes were red.

She thought Qi Xi had cried, but her eyes were so calm.

That is the paradox of those who have learned to take their time in the face of menacing reality.

Meng Qingrang was forced to learn it very early, and no one knew better than her how hard she had to force herself to get used to that kind of contradiction.

The more I understand, the less I want anyone to be like her.

So, interrupted by Li Meng who suddenly rushed out of the box, she should have left straight away, but when she remembered Qi Xi's red eyes, she couldn't help but take a second look.

Unexpectedly, the second glance turned into envy.

"In order to protect her apprentice, she beat Du Mingcheng on the head, who could easily make her lose her job - she only used a pencil, four or two strokes." Meng Qingrang couldn't help being proud, and soon, his eyes became erratic "I looked at it and thought in my heart, if only someone would protect me like this, I wouldn't have to keep learning and doing things I don't like, and grow up like a normal girl. I envy Li Meng .”

The smoke caught in her fingertips burned Lian Muan's skin, she didn't feel any pain, she moved up slowly, opened her mouth, and said a word after a long time, "En."

Meng Qingrang chuckled, "But it's like what you said just now, I'm afraid, I don't dare to find the same sex. At that age, I won't fall in love with anyone easily. I just wanted to help her, nothing else .”

Lian Muan, "If this is the case, where did the third eye come from?" Shouldn't they just pass by and continue to be strangers?

Meng Qingrang laughed, "Because of my wallet."

"When I gave her the coat, I still envied that Li Meng had her by his side—not only would he protect her at critical moments, but he would also hug her and coax her to comfort her when she was afraid, without paying attention to what was in the pocket. It wasn’t until a week later that I was on a business trip and I had to use my ID card to remember.” Meng Qingrang was often glad that he was careless at the time, “I’ll ask Zhou Mai to find it right away. I hesitated when I called. A very irrational thought told me, 'See if she can touch the things in her purse, if she does, you don't have to continue to be envious'."

"She didn't move?" Lian Mu'an guessed the result.

"I haven't moved, it's been so long that I almost forgot about it because I'm busy." Until the one who looked up casually at the exhibition, "She is very patient, knowing that some people will never ask her for design, but she will still be kind Talk to them for a long time. I wonder why no one talks to me like this? When I was an apprentice, I was called around, became famous, and everyone complimented me. I have met all kinds of people, but there is no such thing as her Patient and sincere."

"After my doubts, I was so greedy that I also wanted to find such a person—she only looked at me when she was talking, and she could help me turn what I envied into what I could wantonly. When I want such a person , Xixi is still in front of my eyes, so I don’t want to look further away.” Meng Qingrang said with a smile in her voice, “In your opinion, she may be ordinary, but to me, the brilliance of stars is nothing more than that.”

starry...

Lian Muan completely understood.

Rather than saying that Meng Qingrang likes Qi Xi because of her character, it's more like a coincidence.

Coincidentally, it happened to be what Meng Qingrang needed, and no one else could get in.

"Congratulations for being late." Lian Mu'an said sincerely.

"Thank you." Meng Qingrang pinched his cigarette, and joked that his way of chasing people was too low-level. .”

"Fortunately, she accepted."

"No one can refuse." Lian Mu'an said, leaving half a sentence for himself - who are you treating well, as soon as she makes a sound, you can tell whether her mood is good or bad, and then prescribe the right medicine, just like me back then You just jokingly said 'learning music is too boring', you gave me a chance to become famous in one fell swoop when you were still an apprentice and not being watched by the people in the studio.

"Meng Qingrang, talk to Qi Xi." Lian Muan said in a deep voice, "Your mother is a lunatic, you can't do it alone."

Meng Qing was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly, "I can't say it."

Lian Mu'an couldn't understand, "Emotions are mutual, what's the problem with letting her share the burden for you?"

"No problem." Meng Qingrang faced Lian Muan's question squarely, "If you really decide with reason, the best way now is to promise my mother to get engaged first, and then regret the engagement when the time is right, and stay with Xixi openly and aboveboard. "

Meng Qingrang thought about this possibility from the beginning.

After all, she is the one who cannot do without Qi Xi now, and she is the one who can't afford the risk the most.

but……

"Xixi has no sense of security." Meng Qingrang can still clearly recall Qixi's words on New Year's Eve, "It's easy to like you, but sometimes it's difficult, and it's not practical." "I dare not ask her what she is afraid of. No Knowing the reason, you can't easily do something that makes her uneasy, engagement is too serious for her."

It turned out to be the case.

Lian Mu was quiet for a moment, but still didn't want Meng Qing to be alone. "You can tell Qi Xi the real reason for the engagement. She won't be afraid of being wronged for your future."

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid she will become the next you." Meng Qing let the guilt in her eyes that had not passed, and her eyes became silent when she lowered her eyes, "I said, I envy Li Meng's look because she has A master like Xixi is willing to protect her at critical times. This is Xixi's kindness in her bones. Once she knows my situation, she will never sit idly by. My mother is not Du Mingcheng, nor is it me Keep her safe."

Lian Muan understood, "Qi Xi is too weak now, fighting against your mother will only lead to death."

"Well." Meng Qingrang admitted, "I couldn't control myself at the beginning of this relationship and dragged Xixi into the water. I have the responsibility to drag her all the time."

"...If you work hard, the result is still the same?" Lian Mu'an's question hit the nail on the head.

Meng Qing's calm gaze shook violently, and immediately became firm, "There is no such possibility."

Lian Muan glanced at his right hand, hesitated to speak.

After a long while, I just laughed, raised a dull tone, and said, "Meng Qingrang, I really hate your character-you don't get angry when others provoke you, and you keep silent when others oppress you. It was purely forced by your mother all the way, now that you want to resist her for Qi Xi, shouldn't you change your temper?"

Meng Qingrang smiled, "I can't change it, Xixi said she likes me with a good temper."

Just because Qi Xi said he likes it, even if Meng Qingrang knows how his character was developed, should he continue to maintain the original state?

Lian Muan wanted to laugh.

She had never seen such a crazy person.

She was so calm and gentle that she couldn't say a single serious word.

"Meng Qingrang, I take back what I said earlier." Lian Mu'an said.

Meng Qingrang didn't understand, "What are you talking about?"

Lian Muan threw the cigarette on the ground casually, stepped on it with his feet, crushed it, looked at the dry and cracked river in front of him with a smile, and said, "You are more worthy of a relationship than anyone else."

Bringing up the old matter again, Meng Qing was taken aback for a moment, and said slowly, "I'm sorry."

The same three words, this time Lian Mu'an did not sneer at her as he did many years ago, but put his elbow on her shoulder in a casual way, and said with a big smile: "Meng Qingrang, I didn't say that again, Cooperate once, and everything in the past will be overturned, you think I'm talking fart?"

Meng Qingrang didn't move, and Lian Muan supported him, "No."

"Then don't be a mother-in-law. You cheated on me once six years ago. As for me, I just deliberately said that I like you in front of your mother, and then turned around and slapped her in the face. She will definitely charge you for this. I tricked you, once in a while, we are even, and no one will owe anyone in the future." Lian Mu'an said bluntly.

Meng Qing kept silent.

In fact, there is no way to compare these two. The former is because Lian Muan is innocently affected, and the latter is because she herself cannot avoid it. No matter how Lian Muan answers, the result will be the same.

It's too generous for Lian Mu'an to take this even with her.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Lian Muan straightened up and said with a smile, "Let's go, I have an appointment for dinner at noon, will you give me a ride?"

Meng Qingrang looked at her for a while, then responded, "Yes."

"You have to agree if you don't agree, because this is the last time." Lian Muan turned around, pressed his hands on the concrete guardrail, stood on tiptoe, and shouted into the distance, "Sister will not serve you in the future! Sister is going to pick you up." Big job, big money! Hahaha!"

There are faint green hills in the distance, connected to the vast sky.

Lian Mu'an's voice floated in the gloomy air and spread far away.

Meng Qingrang listened in silence, a thought lingered in his mind, and finally disappeared, leaving only Qi Xi's clear smiling face.

Since some things have passed, there is no need to pierce that layer of window paper to increase embarrassment.

"Hey, there is a question I still want to ask." Lian Muan said suddenly.

Meng Qingrang, "What?"

Lian Mu'an turned around with a very serious expression, "How much hatred and hatred do you have with your mother, and she tortured you from childhood to adulthood like she was desperate?"

Meng Qingrang and Lian Muan looked at each other, lowered their eyes to avoid, and said lightly: "I am the only one who can make trouble for her."

----

When Meng Qingrang came home, he was just in time for lunch—Qi Xi asked his aunt to help him, and made it himself.

Seeing Meng Qingrang coming back, Qi Xi didn't even bother to put the shovel down, and said with a happy face, "Go and wash your hands!"

Meng Qingrang didn't go, walked behind Qi Xi step by step, hugged her, pressed her chin on her shoulder, and said nothing.

Qi Xi turned to look at her, "What's wrong? You don't look happy."

"No." Meng Qingrang hugged Qi Xi tightly, quietly inhaling the familiar smell on her body, "I'm just a little tired."

"You deserve it, who told you to run away so early in the morning without seeing anyone." Qi Xi scolded with a smile, then quickly kissed Meng Qingrang with her aunt's expression of "not seeing", and said, "Go and wash your hands, I'll leave after dinner." Accompany you to catch up on sleep, don’t get out of bed if you don’t get enough sleep.”

Meng Qing asked Qi Xi to kiss her back, and responded with a smile, "Okay."

From 24:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am the next day, nearly [-] hours, Meng Qingrang never woke up.

Qi Xi accompanied her quietly at the beginning, when she saw her frowning in her sleep, she would gently rub the center of her brows with her fingers, and when she saw her lips were straightened, she would gently lift the corners of her mouth upwards, having a great time alone.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, I was finally tired. I hugged Meng Qingrang, kissed her soft lips, and whispered, "Rang Rang, good night."
