Time makes you fall

◎Falling out◎

Zhu Yao was taken aback for a moment: "Why did you arrive early..."

Before coming to see Zhu Yinglan, although she and Qu Qingcheng started from the same community, she deliberately didn't go with Qu Qingcheng, she just said: "I'm going to pick up people first, and you can go to Huashang after eight o'clock."

Qu Qingcheng said: "It's convenient for me to drive, can I pick you up with you?"

Zhu Yao refused: "No, my mother and I... haven't seen each other for a long time, let's be alone for a while."

Of course Qu Qingcheng didn't insist anymore.

In fact, Zhu Yao didn't think so. She took the car arranged by Sister Mao, picked up Zhu Yinglan at the hotel alone, and went to the shopping mall first. Hearing Zhu Yinglan chattering about money and scolding Qi Shengjun, she felt like she was hungover Headache.

Those warm moments between mother and daughter have long since disintegrated with the marriage of Zhu Yinglan and Qi Shengjun, and disappeared in the depths of the years.

Like an old photo that has been burned, you clearly remember that the person on it smiled beautifully, but you can only watch it burn to ashes, be blown away by the wind, and be lifted up until there is no trace left.

Zhu Yao found that he came to see Zhu Yinglan first, because he came to make psychological preparations.She had to get used to Zhu Yinglan for a while before she could face it with Qu Qingcheng.

Just when she regretted that she didn't want Qu Qingcheng to see Zhu Yinglan, and was about to slip away, Qu Qingcheng arrived earlier than the agreed time.

Zhu Yao was so embarrassed as if she had been caught: "I just want to go to the bathroom..."

Qu Qingcheng smiled and said: "I was afraid that I would make you and auntie wait because I was late. I originally planned to wait for you, but I didn't expect you to come earlier."

She walked around to the sofa inside again: "Mother Zhuyao, hello, do you still remember me?"

Zhu Yao only looked at Zhu Yinglan's back, and found that he could fully see Zhu Yinglan's emotions, which shows that there is such a thing as a mother-daughter bond in the world.

Zhu Yinglan's back froze first, and she was obviously taken aback: "Teacher Qu?"

"Teacher Qu" made Zhu Yao's eyes ache.

She didn't know the situation of Zhu Yinglan's company before, but from her secretary, she knew a little bit about how many people Zhu Yinglan had to meet and deal with every day for business.

Zhu Yinglan only saw Qu Qingcheng twice, and it was five years ago.

But Zhu Yinglan still clearly remembered Qu Qingcheng.

Why else?Because Qu Qingcheng used to be Zhu Yao's teacher, and was once the person who had the ability to decide Zhu Yao's future direction.

Zhu Yao believes that Zhu Yinglan hates her because of her resemblance to Qi Shengjun, and she also believes that Zhu Yinglan loves her deeply.

Then she saw Zhu Yinglan's back slumped, with a kind of downcast broken jar: "Why are you here?"

"You are a teacher, you don't have an affair with my daughter, do you?"

Qu Qingcheng's face turned red for a moment.

Zhu Yao quickly walked around to Zhu Yinglan's side: "Mom..."

Zhu Yinglan looked at Qu Qingcheng in front of her with a half smile.

A soft, pressed white cashmere turtleneck sweater, a windbreaker with stiff shoulders, a pair of light blue straight-leg jeans, and a pair of good leather loafers.

Her hair was draped down smoothly, she was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and she was carrying a paper bag from an expensive cake counter, which should have been bought just now on the first floor.

Qu Qingcheng's appearance, gentle and elegant, really reminds people of what Qu's mother said about her - "I have never suffered."

Zhu Yao obviously noticed that Zhu Yinglan's eyes became mocking and vicious.

It was a kind of unwillingness after experiencing too many blows—why should my life be bloody and bloody, and your life be quiet and peaceful?

Typical mental imbalance.

Qu Qingcheng controlled his emotions, and smiled at Zhu Yao: "Don't you want to go to the bathroom? You go, I'll sit here with auntie for a while."

Zhu Yao immediately said, "I don't want to go again."

Not to mention that it was just a pretense that she was going to the bathroom just now, even if she was really in a hurry, it was impossible to go now.

Leave Qu Qingcheng alone with Zhu Yinglan in this state?Go crazy.

Qu Qingcheng smiled, took a step closer to Zhu Yinglan, and passed the paper bag in his hand: "Auntie, this is the lemon chiffon I just bought downstairs, it's not greasy..."

Zhu Yinglan took the paper bag and smiled.

That was not a kind smile.

She flicked the paper bag with her fingers, remembering that before her company, she often bought cakes of this brand to entertain guests.

She asked Qu Qingcheng: "Do you think I haven't eaten?"

Qu Qingcheng was startled: "That's not what it means..."

In the next second, Zhu Yao realized that she had underestimated Zhu Yinglan. Even if she didn't go to the bathroom and stood here with Qu Qingcheng, it was meaningless, because she couldn't predict Zhu Yinglan's behavior at all.

Zhu Yinglan threw the paper bag at Qu Qingcheng viciously.

Zhu Yao pulled Qu Qingcheng away: "Be careful!" Then the paper bag fell to the ground, with a slight bang, the cake in the box fell out, and the white cream rubbed an embarrassing arc on the floor tiles.

Outside the VIP lounge is the membership center, and guests who have already applied for membership cards are looking inside.

The shift supervisor responded quickly: "I'll arrange someone to clean it up right away."

Zhu Yao blushed under the mask: "Thank you..."

When the cleaning staff came in with a mop and a rag, Zhu Yinglan sneered at Qu Qingcheng without hesitation: "You call me auntie? You really have an affair with my daughter, right?"

"You are a teacher, do you want to be ashamed?"

Wearing a mask, Zhu Yao felt more and more breathless: "Can you talk later?"

If it weren't for this mall's reputation for good service, Zhu Yao was sure they would protect the privacy of customers, or else, it's time for Sister Mao to rush over to crisis public relations.

"Why should I wait until later?" Zhu Yinglan's voice was drooping and shrill. She circled her dry and rough hair, and suddenly changed the subject to ask Qu Qingcheng, "Where did you get your hair care? It's expensive, right?"

Qu Qingcheng gently reported the name of a hair salon: "The caviar care here is good. If Auntie is interested, I can go with you."

The cleaning staff hurried out again with a mop and a rag. Before going out, they glanced at Zhu Yao. They probably didn't know which starlet Zhu Yao was, but even she was embarrassed for Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao pulled Qu Qingcheng's cuffs: "You don't have to do this..."

There is no need to cater to Zhu Yinglan like this.

Zhu Yinglan ignored Qu Qingcheng's invitation, and asked again: "How old are you?"

Qu Qingcheng replied politely: "29."

Zhu Yinglan sneered: "You call me aunt at the age of 29? Isn't it too old? My daughter is only 23, the same age."

Qu Qingcheng took a quick look at Zhu Yao.

At that time, Zhu Yao was not only suffering from the headache caused by the hangover, she also had a dry throat and nausea, and the lagging hangover feeling was overwhelming.

She just wanted Zhu Yinglan to stop her stormy attack on Qu Qingcheng: "Mom, Teacher Qu and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Zhu Yinglan still looked at Zhu Yao with that half-smiling face, obviously a mother has a natural intuition for her daughter's emotional relationship.

"Really, I'm not sure about the script of this movie. Teacher Qu just accompanied me to experience the script. When the movie is finished..."

Waiting for Teacher Qu's blind date to return to China.

Zhu Yinglan smiled and asked, "What will happen then?"

Zhu Yao was so breathless wearing a mask, she took off the mask and murmured, "I will be in Haicheng by then, Teacher Qu can stay in Beicheng and have her own life, what else... how about it."

Zhu Yinglan glanced at Qu Qingcheng with a proud and triumphant look: "That's it."

At that time, Zhu Yao discovered that Zhu Yinglan's merciless attack on Qu Qingcheng was not only due to her dissatisfaction with her smooth life, but also because of her possessive desire to fear that she would take away her daughter.

Without the company, without Qi Shengjun, without all life sustenance and emotional dependence, there is only Zhu Yao who loves and hates, who is close and far away, who is everything to her.

Listening to their conversation, Qu Qingcheng gasped.

She turned away.

Zhu Yao panicked and wanted to pull her: "Qu Qingcheng..." She was afraid that an intimate gesture would attract Zhu Yinglan's attack, which made Qu Qingcheng even more embarrassed, so she stopped in embarrassment.

Zhu Yinglan sneered from behind: "With such a big temper, what is there to chase?"

Because of this second of hesitation, Zhu Yao didn't hold back Qu Qingcheng, and Qu Qingcheng's khaki figure disappeared through the crack of the door.

Zhu Yao took a deep breath and turned back: "Let's go, I'll take you back to the hotel first."

Zhu Yinglan: "Why? Aren't you going to accompany me to buy clothes?"

"Are you still in the mood to buy clothes?"

"Why are you not in the mood? I have to dress up for Qi Shengjun's wedding anniversary banquet tomorrow, so I can't lose face in front of Qi Shengjun and his Xiaomi..."

She glanced at Zhu Yao: "You don't want to rush me back to the hotel to find that woman, do you?"

Zhu Yao remained silent.

Zhu Yinglan snorted coldly: "Look at her, can you go on?"

******

Zhu Yao was a little absent-minded when she was sitting in a brand store.

The shopping guide came over with three or four dresses to choose for them: "These are all new arrivals."

Zhu Yinglan asked: "Which one is better?"

Zhu Yao: "You choose."

Zhu Yinglan was dissatisfied: "Then I'll try both! And those two sets!"

She carried a pile of clothes and walked into the fitting room.

Only then did Zhu Yao exhale and rubbed his temples.

It's not that she is angry with Zhu Yinglan.But it's not that I don't know, if she can't dress up well to go to Qi Shengjun's wedding anniversary banquet, Zhu Yinglan will definitely collapse if she loses.

Another reason why she is sitting here and trying on clothes with Zhu Yinglan is that she doesn't know whether she should go to Qu Qingcheng or not.

Zhu Yinglan's trouble just now reminded Zhu Yao of the scene when Zhu Yinglan carried her on her back and went to school to find Qu Qingcheng to give a red envelope when she was 17 years old.

The feeling of embarrassment that Qu Qingcheng saw the most unbearable side swept over her once again after five years.

It's just that she was passive five years ago.

Now she is active.

Take the initiative to show Qu Qingcheng the most embarrassing side.

Qu Qingcheng was really scared away.

From now on, Qu Qingcheng won't worry about why Zhu Yao didn't confess his love to her anymore.

Such a family, such a situation, how could it be possible to establish an intimate relationship.

Zhu Yao tapped her finger on the phone's address book, gently touched Qu Qingcheng's name, and curled up.

Then... Let Qu Qingcheng run away far away?

******

When Qu Qingcheng returned home, he threw the key into the tray at the entrance with a crisp clang.

She was in a hurry to drive all the way, but when the traffic light turned yellow at an intersection, she rushed over anyway, not knowing if she was photographed violating traffic regulations.

She changed her shoes and rushed into the bathroom before she could take off her windbreaker.

Turn on the light and look at your face carefully in the mirror.

Leaning closer again, fingers touched the lower eyelids.

Well, there is only one fine line right now, like a thin worm crawling there, no matter what angle it is, it never disappears.

Zhu Yinglan's shrill voice rang in her ears: "You call me aunt at the age of 29? Are you too old?"

Thinking of the scene I watched this morning, Min Jiawen cried bitterly while leaning on the oily beer box: "I'm getting old."

"I'm old, you know?"

Qu Qingcheng silently turned off the light, walked out of the bathroom in a daze, and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

He took out his mobile phone and sent Yuan Yi a WeChat message: "Last time you said that eye hot Maggie..."

After sending it, Qu Qingcheng regretted it, and when he was about to withdraw it, Yuan Yi's WeChat had already replied: "What? Have you finally decided to do it with me?"

"Two people can enjoy [-]% off together, dear!"

Yuan Yi is Qu Qingcheng's colleague, a medical aesthetic expert in the office, and is keen on all medical aesthetic projects that help her face against gravity. Because Qu Qingcheng is about the same age as her, she has become her key Amway target.

The thing about eye heat Maji was what Qu Qingcheng heard from Yuan Yi.

Yuan Yi swore: "I guarantee that you won't have a single fine line! You'll be just as good as 19 years old!"

Qu Qingcheng smiled: "19 years old is too exaggerated."

Yuan Yi teased her: "Let's go together, you are not short of money, we can get a discount if we go together."

Qu Qingcheng still just smiled: "It's not about money..."

Yuan Yi pouted: "I know, I know, you think women should age naturally and gracefully, right? Like your Mr. Yang Jiang."

She pointed to a book on Qu Qingcheng's desk.

During that time, Qu Qingcheng was re-watching "The Biography of Yang Jiang", and every time he read it, he was deeply fascinated by that intelligent and elegant woman.

Qu Qingcheng smiled and turned Amway to Yuan Yi: "You take a look too, you will discover the charm of time."

Yuan Yi covered her eyes: "I don't want to read it! I'm a chemistry teacher! Advocating the power of modern science doesn't want the charm of time!"

At that time, the two were still laughing and joking for a long time, Qu Qingcheng never thought that one day she would take the initiative to ask Yuan Yi about the Thermage eye area.

Even Yuan Yi asked her: "How did you figure it out? Has the sun come out from the west?"

Qu Qingcheng nestled in a corner of the sofa where Yuan Yi couldn't see, blushing, and quickly typed back to Yuan Yi's WeChat: "It's not me, it's a friend of mine who is interested, I'll ask her first."

After posting, I deleted the entire dialog box, and I really don't want to see what I just asked about eye Thermage.

Putting the phone aside, Qu Qingcheng hugged a plush cushion, leaning against a corner of the sofa in a daze.

At this time, another call came in from the mobile phone. Qu Qingcheng thought it was Zhu Yao, and didn't want to answer it. The phone rang for a while, but he still couldn't help touching the phone.

It turned out that it wasn't Zhu Yao, but her mother: "Qingqing, why didn't you come back for dinner today?"

She only rests on Sundays. Occasionally, when she is more free, she will go back to her parents' house for dinner on Sundays.

"Well, didn't you just come back last night? I'm too lazy to drive today..."

"I knew you wouldn't be here today, so I brought you some food back yesterday. Did you eat properly?"

"Yes."

"Don't wrong yourself, you have never been wronged since childhood..."

Qu Qingcheng helplessly and softly interrupted her mother's Xu Xu: "Mom, I'm preparing lessons."

"Okay, you are busy."

Her mother hung up the phone.

Qu Qingcheng threw the phone aside, hugged the cushion again and was startled.

She thought about what her mother said just now: "I haven't suffered a little grievance." She also remembered that her mother told her friends before: "Because I haven't suffered a little grievance, I am so proud, I am afraid that she will come to society in the future." Go up and suffer."

Complaints on the surface, but in fact the words are proud.

Qu Qingcheng found that he was really like this, he had never been out of the ivory tower, he looked gentle and gentle, but in fact he still had a big temper.

For example, after the embarrassing dispute today, she turned around and left without arguing.

It's not that she doesn't know, that's the most decisive way.

At this time, she was sitting on her sofa with a cushion in her arms, thinking that Zhu Yao wanted to reach out to pull her just now, but she didn't pull her later, and she didn't know if Zhu Yao knew why she left suddenly.

Maybe Zhu Yao didn't know, even Qu Qingcheng felt that his state of mind was subtle.

The point of her anger is that when Zhu Yinglan said that she was old, Zhu Yao didn't fight back for her immediately, but said another thing.

By the time the movie is done, they're... nothing.

Qu Qingcheng pinched a corner of the mat, pinched the fluff into a tuft and smoothed it out.

Of course she knew that what Zhu Yao said was the closest to the truth.

After the movie was finished, Zhu Yao's agency was in Haicheng, and she would definitely go back.As for Qu Qingcheng, Mr. Zhao should have returned to China by then.

Will she have the courage to tell her parents that she wants to reject Mr. Zhao?

The past is like a mountain, pressing on Qu Qingcheng's slender shoulders, the more she wants to forget, the heavier it becomes, crushing the courage she accumulated every time she faced Zhu Yao into powder.

Qu Qingcheng sighed, took off his glasses, looked up at the ceiling, and found that there was an extra crack at some point.

Qu Qingcheng suddenly thought—wait a minute, Zhu Yao didn't think she ran away, did he?

Zhu Yao took her to meet Zhu Yinglan when she misunderstood that he was using her. Such a complicated family relationship is the reason why Zhu Yao dare not step into a relationship?

Zhu Yao wanted to... let Zhu Yinglan scare her away?

******

Zhu Yinglan came out of the fitting room time and time again, complaining that this dress made her waist look fat, and that skirt made her only 1.5 meters tall.

The face of the shopping guide on the side became more and more ugly.

Zhu Yao asked her if she wanted to change the brand, but she didn't.

The malls are almost closing.

She forced Zhu Yao to choose, but Zhu Yao was really not in the mood: "Or buy them all."

Zhu Yinglan yelled: "Are you crazy? Do you think our family has mountains of gold and silver? You can earn as much money as a poor actor than I used to do business?"

The eyes of the shopping guide next to him began to show a little voyeurism, as if they wanted to see which starlet the one wearing the hat and mask was.

Zhu Yao pressed the mask a little tighter, feeling short of breath for a while.

Her current income is sometimes higher than Zhu Yinglan's before, and sometimes lower.The main problem is that the resources are not so stable, and if you calculate the average value, you will suffer a little.

But she knew that Zhu Yinglan wasn't talking about making money, and suppressing her, who was getting more and more wings, would make Zhu Yinglan feel a little better.

Seeing that Zhu Yao was ignoring her, Zhu Yinglan turned to face the mirror again, talking left and right, muttering: "I remember Qi Shengjun's little honey has a very thin waist, and she didn't lose her shape after giving birth..."

Zhu Yao finally walked over: "Mom, buy the blue dress, your hair will be coiled up tomorrow, your neck is prettier than hers."

Zhu Yinglan glanced at her: "Really?"

Zhu Yao nodded.

Zhu Yinglan went to the fitting room to change the blue dress again, and when she came out to look in the mirror, she began to scold again: "This dress really looks like I am only 1.5 meters long, why is the designer so stupid! You are also stupid, why did you choose this dress?" ! Qi Shengjun, Xiaomi will definitely laugh at me..."

All the cursing ends in the same way in the end: "Qi Shengjun, that bastard..."

Zhu Yao is silent.

Zhu Yinglan scolded enough, but finally said: "Then buy the blue one."

The shopping guide was shocked, probably thought that Zhu Yinglan looked like a genius.

Zhu Yao let out a "huh", feeling sour in his heart.

******

Zhu Yao sent Zhu Yinglan back to the hotel, and when they parted, she asked Zhu Yao: "Will you accompany me tomorrow night?"

Zhu Yao was silent for a long time, "Mmm".

Zhu Yinglan breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the hotel.

Zhu Yao looked at her back, compared to the tall and straight before, she always likes to hook her back now, and she doesn't wear high heels, so she is much shorter than before.

It doesn't look pitiful.

Back in her hotel room, Zhu Yao took a shower, applied body lotion, and when the body lotion was absorbed, put on a mask and began to read the script.

Tomorrow night, she was going to accompany Zhu Yinglan to Qi Shengjun's wedding anniversary banquet. It happened that another actor was going to the hospital in the morning to have his coccyx checked, so she put Zhu Yao's play in the front row and his in the back row, which was just right.

Zhu Yao was afraid that after tonight's disturbance, he would not be able to concentrate and slow down the progress when he went to the set tomorrow, so he took out the script and wanted to prepare it in advance.

However, Zhu Yao was too familiar with the script, and every word of the line seemed to be engraved in her mind.

The disadvantage of reading the script too familiarly is that there is no new amount of information pouring in, and the mind is easily distracted.

Looking at the script, it says that Xiaozhi has saved a lot of money for a long time, and bought an expensive cake for Teacher Xu, but he said that the bar customers didn't want it and brought it back.

At that time, Xiaozhi had already listened to Teacher Xu's words and resigned, but the young man was so stubborn that he couldn't let go of his face, and deliberately deceived Teacher Xu that he was still selling alcohol.

In fact, Teacher Xu already knew it. It was on that night that 22-year-old He Xiaozhi and 33-year-old Xu Ran had their first meeting.

The half-eaten cake was at the head of the bed, and Xuran on the bed stretched out following the intensity of the two, rubbing his fingers against the white and soft cream.

Xu Ran said: "I'm really old, do you know? Like withered butter."

He Xiaozhi said: "No, you are not old at all." She swallowed the cream that Xu Ran's fingers had stained into her mouth.

Zhu Yao looked at the description of the script and thought about the lemon chiffon that Qu Qingcheng bought tonight and was broken by Zhu Yinglan.

Zhu Yinglan asked Qu Qingcheng: "You call me aunt at 29 years old? Are you too old?"

She suddenly realized a problem——

She didn't refute Qu Qingcheng back then, was she...wrong?

Zhu Yao thought about this question, and couldn't read the script at all. He put on a baseball jacket and pulled out the room card, and hurriedly ran to the elevator.

The author says:

Angels, are you ready? (laughs around
