Show one's ugliness

Since Ji Cen came here for the first time, Qiao Aiqing and Qi Heng decided to choose a restaurant that could represent Xiancheng's characteristics for him to try.

Perhaps it was because of the festival today, they sat on the chairs outside the store and waited for a long time without making an appointment in advance.

During this time, they were talking about Ji Cen and Qi Heng.

Ji Cen didn't know how Qi Heng was infiltrated by his mother during the days when he had a falling out with Qi Heng.How did it get to the point where Qiao Aiqing could readily accept it without them saying anything.

Qi Heng expressed his innocence, he never mentioned it except telling his mother that he and Ji Cen were in love and he and Ji Cen were breaking up.

When Ji Cen came, he was able to tell Qiao Aiqing directly, and he was also prepared to do Qiao Aiqing's ideological work.

But right now, it doesn't seem necessary at all.

With Ji Cen present, Qiao Aiqing seemed to be checking the timeline, asking why Ji Cen and Qi Heng suddenly separated, and also asked if they had met during the winter vacation.

Then she didn't ask any more questions, but expressed her thoughts on the matter.

She looked directly at Ji Cen and said: "I figured it out when Qi Heng entered prison. I just want him to live a healthy and happy life in the future. Nothing else is more important. After he separated from you, I can see that he is not happy. , I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, maybe I’ll meet someone new, no matter if it’s a man or a woman, just let him come out. Since it’s you who made him come out, it means that you really care about each other. I’ve lived to this point With age, I have experienced a lot of things, and I can see everything."

After saying this, Qiao Aiqing looked at Qi Heng again and said, "You two remember, there are lovers, stay together if you can, otherwise it will be a pity if you miss it. I hope you two can be considerate of each other and take care of each other." The other party, try your best when you are together, and don't blame the sky when you really have to separate."

At this time, answering nothing is not enough to express the mood.Ji Cen and Qi Heng nodded at Qiao Aiqing, and then the three of their mothers got up and entered the store with a smile under the background sound of calling their numbers.

Qiao Aiqing first held his son's arm, and then reached out to grab Ji Cen's arm.In order to keep up with their pace, she took great steps.

After entering the store, the width of the aisle narrows.Qi Heng followed the waiter leading the way to the front.Qiao Aiqing put all the hands withdrawn from Qi Heng on Ji Cen's forearm.He even picked off the fur that was on Ji Cen's clothes.

Qiao Aiqing's act of helping Ji Cen tidy up his clothes touched Ji Cen's sense of intimacy with his aunt.Uncontrollably, he lowered his head and asked Qiao Aiqing, "I...can I still call you aunt?"

In Qiao Aiqing's astonishment, Ji Cen wanted to take back his words.It can be hard to cover the water.He tried to make amends: "It's just called getting used to it, I..."

"Yes." Qiao Aiqing was even a little happy, "There is nothing you can't."

Ji Cen immediately called "Auntie" just like when he changed his words at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau.Qiao Aiqing still responded without hesitation.

The environment in the shop was a bit noisy, Qi Heng who had arrived at his place beckoned them to walk behind.Seeing that Ji Cen, who pulled the chair away, called Qiao Aiqing back to "Aunt", he always felt that he missed something when he walked a few steps faster.

Ji Cen called naturally, and Qiao Aiqing responded more naturally.While Qi Heng was in a daze, Qiao Aiqing introduced to Ji Cen which dish looked like.

Qi Heng sat next to Ji Cen, without saying anything, just quietly watched his mother and Ji Cen order food in harmony.

After a while, Ji Cen elbowed Qi Heng: "Why don't you choose?"

"I'll eat whatever you choose." Qi Heng said.

Qiao Aiqing said to Ji Cen: "Leave him alone, order the little Cen you want."

Qi Heng: "..."

Although the food is Xiancheng style, the drinks are from the Northeast.

I didn't want to order wine at first, but it was Qiao Aiqing who insisted on drinking.

Ji Cen saw Qiao Aiqing drink at the wedding banquet with Xiao Mingjun, and knew that she could drink, but he didn't know that she could drink so well.

In the end, Qi Heng couldn't accompany him, only he was still accompanying him.

In just one meal, Qiao Aiqing and Qi Heng told Ji Cen that the situation they had been here for more than half a year was almost the same as what Ji Cen said.Ji Cen listened patiently, and occasionally opened up more topics with a question.

Although Qiao Aiqing was very happy talking and talking, both Ji Cen and Qi Heng could feel that there was an unspeakable sadness in her forced smile.

She seemed to want to get an end to this sadness, and she was bound to get drunk, but her strength did not allow her to get drunk to the end.

Ji Cen and Qi Heng wanted to help her on the way home, but she refused.She said that Ji Cen and Qi Hengjia are no match for her if they drink any more.She said that she had only lost to one person in drinking in her life.

Qi Heng whispered to Ji Cen: "I didn't know she could drink like this before."

"I don't know in the future." Ji Cen said looking at Qiao Aiqing's back.

Although the bed in Qi Heng's room is broken, the sofa in the living room can be folded down to make a sofa bed.

Qiao Aiqing said that she came to sleep on the sofa bed and asked the two children to sleep on the big bed in her room.Ji Cen and Qi Heng insisted on squeezing on the sofa bed.

"Can it work?" Qiao Aiqing said, "This width is about the same for sleeping alone."

Qi Heng: "The two of us can do it. Don't worry about Mom, go to sleep."

The width of the sofa bed is not a problem for them. The upper and lower solid wood beds on the second floor of Wynn are only 1.5 meters wide, so they often sleep well when they are crowded together.

Wrapped in thin quilts, they didn't sleep much until dawn, always talking in a low voice suddenly.

Wanting to be dishonest but not daring, I scratched the surface all night.

Feeling drowsy in the morning but not daring to snooze, Qiao Aiqing came out of the room and they got up quickly.

In the name of taking Ji Cen out to play, Qi Heng went out with Ji Cen after breakfast.

Qiao Aiqing asked them to come back for dinner at night, saying that they would prepare delicious food for them.

As a result, the two found a hotel nearby to catch up on sleep after they left home.

It is said to catch up on sleep, and after lying on the bed, there will be intermittent ups and downs.

Stay at the hotel until sunset and then go home.Before going home, I recounted which attractions I "go" today like a slogan.

Qiao Aiqing did ask, and they answered as agreed, without any loopholes.

Once Qiao Aiqing asked a little deeper, and Ji Cen, who hadn't visited those scenic spots at all, couldn't answer, Qi Heng would rush to save the situation.

Qiao Aiqing looked at this kid, then at that kid, and said softly: "Just be happy."

Ji Cen and Qi Heng spent two consecutive days in Xiancheng like this, sleeping in the hotel during the day and chatting on the sofa bed at night.

They are not interested in the scenery of this city famous for tourism at all, they want to be next to each other for a little time, even if they don't say or do anything, they are very happy.

They only stayed in the hotel for half a day the day before Ji Cen was leaving.

I came out in the afternoon to buy thick clothes for Ji Cen to wear back home.But gave up before starting to buy.

The so-called winter in this city only lasts for about a week, and it is really difficult to buy clothes that can withstand the cold in the northeast.So Qi Heng decided not to waste time, and simply gave Ji Cen back all the outfits he had used to go back to Yangnan for the New Year.

He bought everything online in advance.Especially the long body thick down jacket, which is very warm.

For cost-effective, but also to stay more.Ji Cen bought a plane ticket in the middle of the night.

When it was almost time for departure, he had to take the subway to the airport according to the route Qiao Aiqing and Qi Heng repeatedly told.

The girls stopped talking.

Qiao Aiqing said to Qi Heng: "You go see him off, it's fine if you are idle."

Qi Heng said: "That's what I planned too, I just want to tell him first."

Qiao Aiqing asked Ji Cen again: "When will we come again, Xiao Cen?"

Ji Cen smiled: "Come here as soon as possible."

"Next time I definitely don't need to sleep on the sofa bed." Qiao Aiqing said.

"It's okay, I think sleeping on the sofa bed is fine."

After Qi Heng put on his shoes, he went out with Ji Cen.Qiao Aiqing followed out the door, and stuffed a large handful of steel coins into Ji Cen's hand in front of the elevator: "Take it to buy tickets for the subway."

"Then it doesn't take so much, Mom." Qi Heng said.

Before closing the door, Qiao Aiqing said, "Save the rest for next time."

Ji Cen tightly held the steel coin he could barely hold with one hand: "I don't even want to leave."

Qi Heng was about to go back: "Then stay for a few more days."

"No, going back early is also for coming here earlier," Ji Cen said, "I will have plenty of time to accompany you in the future."

Qi Heng put Ji Cen's backpack on his shoulders: "I'll wait for you to come over early."

Ji Cen: "When I come again, we will make up the sights that we should have gone together this time."

"Okay, I'll be your tour guide."

"Let's go to the sea together."

Qi Heng smiled and nodded: "That's for sure, I will take you to our school."

After walking out of the unit door, Ji Cen suddenly stopped. He adjusted his position, looked at the shadow on the wall and said, "Look, does the shadow from this angle look like you?"

The amazing thing is that their five appearances are different, but their shadow outlines are very similar.Qi Heng looked at the shadow and then pointed at his own shadow and joked: "You stole my shadow, and I stole yours too."

"When I'm thinking of you, that's how I stop to look at the shadow," Ji Cen said, "It's like you are standing beside me."

Qi Heng put his arm on Ji Cen's shoulder: "I'm here, Brother Cen. If you miss me in the future, just turn your head and look at me."

Qi Heng has good bones and stars in his eyes.Just standing here is a great temptation.Ji Cen kissed Qi Heng on the mouth.After the kiss, he snatched back his bag, took the down jacket and put it on his arm.

"Don't send me to the airport," he said, "I'll just wait here for you after I've dealt with Xibin."

Qi Heng: "Come and find me quickly."

"Well, I must come to you soon."

Qi Heng, who returned upstairs within a few minutes of going out, said when Qiao Aiqing questioned him: "He won't let me be sent to the airport."

"Then you're not going?"

"He wants me not to go, why should I go."

Qiao Aiqing: "You kid is too real."

"What he wants me to do in the future is what I will do." Qi Heng said.

After reconciling with Ji Cen, one thing he realized was that if he hadn't insisted on doing the matching at the beginning, then the half-year separation between them might have been avoided.

He should have listened to Ji Cen.He must listen to Ji Cen in the future.

"I asked you to send him not because he was afraid that he would lose it, but because he was not familiar with the route and would waste time on the road." Qiao Aiqing explained.

"It's better if you can't leave, let him come back and sleep on the sofa bed for another two days."

"That's right, that's right," Qiao Aiqing said while looking for the phone, "I have to urge the landlord to get the new bed here."

It is indeed an international metropolis.The airport in the middle of the night was still crowded with people everywhere.

Ji Cen kept a close eye on the route map Qi Heng drew for him all the way, and it even had everything on the map of how he should go at the airport.

He didn't want to throw away the last piece of paper that was crumpled by the sweat of his hands.Instead, fold it up and put it in the backpack compartment.

During the run-up before the plane took off, he told himself over and over again that he would come to Xiancheng early.

If he didn't have to go back to deal with things, he wouldn't want to be separated from Qi Heng for a day.

In what Ji Cen said to get Qi Heng to leave him before, it was not without the truth.He said that he couldn't do without Xibin, that he liked Xibin, and that he belonged to Xibin was all true.

But in the high sky that was getting closer and closer to Xibin, he had already made a comprehensive and detailed plan for leaving Xibin.
