She messed with me first

Stepping out of the building door, the cold wind engulfing the cool night came in from the neckline, Qi Xi's shirt was blown up, her hair flew wildly, and a few strands swept over her eyeballs, making her cry physically.

Qin Lianzhou was originally standing with his back on the wind, but when he heard the door opening, he turned around and asked Qi Xi who was walking by, "Are you still going to eat?"

Qi Xi lowered her head and kept blinking, "Go, hurry up, or it will rain soon."

Qi Xi took a big step down the steps, and walked forward quickly against the wind.

Qin Lianzhou followed at a distance.

They turned with their front feet, and Meng Qingrang came out of the door with his back feet, clothes in his hands, quietly watching the direction they left one after the other.

----

Passing through the central garden, the space is widened and the wind is lessened.

Qi Xi gradually slowed down, waiting for Qin Lianzhou to catch up.

Neither of them spoke immediately, they walked side by side, each having their own thoughts.

After passing the fountain, the wind passed, and the fine mist hit Qi Xi's body. She shivered uncontrollably from the cold, and rubbed her arms vigorously, complaining, "What the hell is the weather? It's just October and it's so cold."

Qin Lianzhou's shoulders and back were straight, as if she couldn't feel it, "The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge this season, remember to bring a coat when you go out tomorrow."

Qi Xi paused, and slowly stretched her shrunken shoulders, "Lian Zhou, do you think I've changed a lot compared to two years ago?"

Qin Lianzhou, "Which aspect?"

Qi Xi casually pushed back her forehead hair, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Character."

Qin Lianzhou didn't hesitate, "No change."

Qi Xi turned to look at her in disbelief, "Are you kidding me?"

Qin Lianzhou looked back, "I have to say that there are changes."

"what?"

"As soon as you see Meng Qing, you will become irritable and repetitive."

Qi Xi's eyes shook.

Soon, he smiled resignedly and did not speak.

This response is equal to the default.

She knows that this is a hedgehog mentality. She usually looks peaceful and doesn't care about anything. Once she meets a certain person, she will immediately become sharp and irritable about certain things.

The doctor said that the formation of this kind of mentality is to protect oneself, so don't pay too much attention to it, and one day the knot will be untied, and it will heal on its own.

Qi Xi has tried for two years, but it seems that he has returned in vain.

"Lian Zhou, do you think I have a mental problem?" Qi Xi asked uncertainly.

Qin Lianzhou's answer was still so straightforward, "No."

Qi Xi smiled wryly, "Didn't you say that bystanders are clear? I know how moody I am these days. How can you not feel it when you look at it so closely?"

Qin Lianzhou didn't speak right away this time, but waited for the sudden wild wind to pass, and the voice in his ear died down before speaking again, "Because I know the reason."

……

Yan Zhiwen also knows.

Everyone knows.

"At thirty, it should be a quiet age, but I still can't hold it up, can't let it go, and can't hold back like I am in my early twenties." Qi Xi laughed at himself, "Lianzhou, be a man and make me That's a failure."

Qin Lianzhou didn't take it seriously, "Only those who have something in mind can live a real life." Yes, life is difficult.

"Do you still remember the night when the Royal Palace project ended, your department went drinking together?" Qin Lianzhou asked suddenly.

Qi Xi looked at the ground and said in a deep voice, "I don't remember."

Qin Lianzhou seemed to have guessed what Qi Xi would say, and answered almost at the same time she finished speaking, "I remember."

Qi Xi's hand in his trouser pocket clenched into a fist.

"When you were playing darts with them, you threw your wrist too hard. I happened to be standing next to you. My oriental face probably gave you the illusion. You raised your hand and said to me, 'Let Rang, Wrist hurts'..."

"Lianzhou, I told you, I don't remember what happened that night." Qi Xi interrupted.

The four eyes are facing each other, like the tip of a needle pointing at the wheat awning.

Qin Lianzhou didn't dodge or dodge, her tone was too calm, "I don't remember, I'm going to tell you."

"..." Qi Xi stared fixedly at Qin Lianzhou with turbulent eyes. After a while, he let go of his hand and said weakly, "Didn't you agree to stop talking about the past?"

Qin Lianzhou, "I only promised not to ask you, and I didn't say not to mention her."

Qi Xi, "..."

"Qi Xi, do you know what your tone was like at that time?" Qin Lianzhou asked, she could still clearly recall the scene at that time - Qi Xi first looked at the dart that hit the bull's-eye in front of him, and smiled wider than the Milky Way To be bright, within a few seconds, he suddenly grinned and took a breath, raised his hand in front of her, and complained to 'her' that his wrist hurt so much.

That unfamiliar soft voice made her mistakenly think that the Qi Xi in front of her was not the Qi Xi she knew, but another person with the same appearance. , a little girl who is good at acting like a baby with the person she likes."

Qi Xi was completely silent.

She felt like an embarrassed clown being stripped naked and thrown on stage for comment.

This person was not malicious, so she didn't know how to refute, so she could only listen to her in silence and continue, "It's been a whole year since you entered the office that day, and I thought your feelings for her had become nonchalant, you When I stretched out my hand, I finally knew what 'still water runs deep'."

At this point, Qi Xi completely lost the opportunity to refute.

She laughed, and a moment of humility rushed over her face, "I seem to be very easy to be humble when it comes to her."

"Lianzhou, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I accidentally hurt her. The night I left with her, I almost asked her if I could be her mistress." Qi Xi thought that she would not cry anymore. , still has a sore nose and red eye circles, "But even though I have begged her so much, she still refuses to want me. As for me, I say yes, but I still miss her secretly."

Qi Xi raised her head, smiled and asked with red eyes: "Lian Zhou, am I not promising?"

Qin Lianzhou looked at Qi Xi motionlessly, and wanted to hug her, but in the end just shook her head silently across the short distance.

Qi Xi didn't think this answer was perfunctory, she looked down at the necklace hidden under the shirt, and said slowly: "Lian Zhou, you don't know how good she is. She picked a star for me, and there was a star in it that she traveled through mountains and rivers. After many years, I finally got the first glimpse of the world."

Qin Lianzhou lowered her eyes and saw the thoughts hidden by Qi Xi, "No wonder it was lost, you will be so anxious that you don't even want to attend the awards ceremony."

----

That was the first time Qi Xi won a gold medal in an international competition.

The awards ceremony was scheduled for the next night, and the media gathered at the scene. As long as she came on stage, she would immediately become the focus of attention.

But when she was doing an interview in the field, she suddenly dropped the host, and ran out in panic with her dress.

Qin Lianzhou couldn't catch up.

Later, after entering the arena, I found Qi Xi in the empty corridor. She squatted on the ground like a little girl who had been wronged by the sky, and said to her crying and laughing: "Lian Zhou, I'm still waiting for you!" Thought I lost it, thought I couldn't find it."

Qin Lianzhou has seen Qi Xi cry out of collapse, and she has seen her cry silently, but she has never seen her so wronged.

She thought the dress was too heavy and cumbersome, and she also thought it had no pockets to hold things. She said that if she carried the dress, she couldn't take care of other things in her hand, so she almost lost the necklace because of it.

So she asked Qin Lianzhou, "Lianzhou, if you put it on, won't it fall off so easily?"

Qin Lianzhou said yes.

She looked at the necklace dumbly for a long time, then stood up and walked into the dressing room step by step.

When he came out again, there was no strange expression on his face, and the makeup was more delicate than when he came.

Qin Lianzhou sat with her and waited to see her accept the award on stage.

The sapphire hanging around her neck shone brightly all night long.

Later, she hid it under her clothes so no one could see it.

Qin Lianzhou guessed who would give that necklace, but she never thought it would have such a great significance.

----

The cold wind was accidentally poured into the intake pipe, Qi Xi coughed badly, finally suppressed the discomfort and straightened her body, her eye circles were a little redder than before, and she was still smiling, "Lian Zhou, am I going to spend my whole life to get rid of it?" Can we forget about her and her friendship?"

Qin Lianzhou looked into Qi Xi's eyes, and said in a calm but affirmative voice, "Yes."

The person who betrays the shackles in his heart and falls in love is still first love.

The moment Qi Xi made up his mind, there was no turning back.

Qi Xi let out an 'oh', turned around, and continued walking in the direction of the gate that she hadn't seen yet.

After a long time, Qin Lianzhou heard her say: "Then my irritability and repetition will continue for the rest of my life."

Qin Lianzhou tilted her head slightly, her gaze flicked behind her for a moment, then she turned back, and silently said to Qi Xi's back, "No."

Soon there was an extra pair of feet where they had stopped.

Meng Qingrang stood there, slowly bent down, put one hand on his knees, and grabbed his clothes with the other. No matter how hard he pressed, he couldn't relieve the increasingly clear discomfort in his stomach.

My heart was flustered, my eyes were dark, and my pulse was beating fast, but without any strength.

……

Zhou Maijiu, who drove all the way here, couldn't wait for Meng Qing to let him out. Worried about what might happen, he hurriedly greeted the guard and came in to find someone.

Halfway through the run, he was finally relieved to see her walking past intact.

Zhou Mai came over quickly, handed a box of medicine to Meng Qingrang, and said while twisting the thermos cup: "It's been too long since I took the medicine, do you feel uncomfortable? Water..."

Zhou Mai's hand holding the water froze in the air.

Meng Qingrang just swallowed the tablet without sugar coating.

----

"Mr. Meng, where are you going?" Zhou Mai asked Meng Qingrang who was silent in the back row.

Meng Qingrang leaned on the seat, his eyesight without glasses corrected one weak and one solid, looked at the slim figure in the distance, and said, "Jinyuan."

Zhou Mai tightened his hand holding the steering wheel, raised his head, and looked at Meng Qingrang from the rearview mirror of the car.

In the past two years, she has rarely returned to Jinyuan. Every time she goes back, she must be in extremely bad condition, under great pressure, or when she thinks about Qi Xi so much that she can't pretend.

No need to guess today, it must be the last possibility.

Zhou Mai can understand very well, but as long as she thinks that Meng Qingrang will be reluctant to speak for a long time every time she comes out of Jinyuan, she hesitates.

That kind of silence does not mean silence, it means that people always appear empty when they are quiet.

Zhou Mai didn't know what else in Jinyuan could make her like this, she didn't dare to ask, but after thinking about it, she managed to find an excuse to dissuade her, "What if it gets to Mr. Hai?"

Meng Qingrang, "Xiang Ting knows how to deal with it."

Zhou Mai hesitated to speak, and after a moment of silence, he shifted gears and left.

It was nearly twelve o'clock, and Meng Qingrang returned to Jinyuan's house.

Since she moved to the city center, the house here has been empty, and my aunt comes to clean it only once a week. At other times, the doors and windows are closed, and there is no trace of people.

Meng Qingrang walked all the way back to the bedroom, sat by the bed, and turned on a desk lamp.

The warm light casts her shadow on the walls and ceiling, which is forcibly folded and split by the space that cannot extend farther.

Meng Qingrang was quiet for a while, then leaned over and opened the bottom drawer of the bedside table.

Inside was the picture book full of Qi Xi's paintings.

Meng Qing took out the drawing book, and turned back page by page by the light of the desk lamp.

He turned over the naked body and paused for a while, then turned back again and watched quietly.

'You just like me, I can guarantee it with my life! '

'If not liking, why react? '

'Meng Qingrang, don't try to lie to me. '

"..."

After Qi Xi knew that she was going to marry Xiang Ting, her reaction from firmness to fear seemed like the next day.

Meng Qingrang didn't dare to recall, the more she resisted, the more she missed her, and thinking that she couldn't restrain herself, she obediently slid down and sat on the ground, reaching out to untie her pants.

……

In the middle of the night, Meng Qingrang lay sideways on the bed, pressed the drawing book with his hand, and said softly to Qi Xi inside, "Xi Xi, after this matter is over, I will never lie to you again."

You are absolutely right.

I can love you so much just by watching.
