Arbors intertwined

In this way, Qiao Ran's world returned to the way it was before the summer.

Except for the occasional dinner and shopping with my sister Jiang Min, everything seems quiet and simple.

Qiao Ran once hoped to return to this kind of life. The more Mu Zixin insisted on grabbing her for any reason, the more she wished to return to the original state. Life is much more colorful because of Mu Zixin.

However, the fact is not the case.

Qiao Ran breathed a sigh of relief, but found that life did not really ease up.

Now she obviously has a lot of time to do things at her own pace, and even the gallery only picks up paintings occasionally according to her news.She got her wish and returned to the life before Mu Zixin appeared.

However, this kind of life now seems strange and terrifying.

Qiao Ran found that she actually felt that life was too quiet.

Obviously, her world completely lost its voice after the car accident.

What is quiet?

Synonyms for silence, tranquility, and tranquility, and antonyms for bustle and hustle and bustle, refer to an environment where there is almost no sound.

Under what circumstances can there be no sound?

Naturally, there is nothing that can make a sound, and people are included.

Therefore, while being quiet means a comfortable environment suitable for thinking or sleeping, it also means that there are not too many people and too many things.

So, on the other hand, quiet equals aloneness.

Alone synonyms, alone, alone, lonely.

For the first time, Qiao Ran realized that he had so much leisure time to make such meaningless associations.

She knew that even if she denied it, she knew her true thoughts in her heart. She didn't want to admit that she was lonely, but she couldn't help but think about it.

After Mu Zixin no longer appeared, Qiao Ran felt lonely.

This feeling is accompanied by a trace of panic, because of this panic.This loneliness seems to be different from the feeling when the adoptive parents and sister went to settle in city B.

No, Qiao Ran, don't think about it anymore, it's just a temporary unaccustomed, it's the same when my parents and sister left, it will be fine soon.

Qiao Ran wanted to hold his forehead, but saw the unhealed wound on his raised left hand.

Mu Zixin's words at that time sounded again, making Qiao Ran's heart ache.

Disabled, yes, disabled is one of the reasons why the two of them are destined to stay in the two worlds.

Gritting her teeth, Qiao Ran used this word to define herself for the first time.She hated the word, hated the fact, even though she had to accept it and try to make herself look down on it.

However, no matter how indifferent, it is also a fact of existence.

She used to be so healthy and happy, the love of her biological parents, and many friends in school were completely ruined by that car accident and this disability.

Qiao Ran kept telling herself that she should be proud of what she had achieved now.

However, the eyes of so many people and the arrangements specially made for her reminded her of her incompleteness.

She couldn't let go, she couldn't really ignore her own flaws, she couldn't be as completely proud as Mu Zixin.

Then, how could she believe that Mu Zixin would be by her side for the rest of her life?

The vibration in her hand awakened Qiao Ran who was in deep thought. She hurriedly looked at her phone and saw that the sender of the text message on the screen was "Jiang Min", her eyes darkened, but even she didn't realize it , just quickly picked up the phone and opened the text message.

[There is no problem on that day, I will pick you up on time. ]

Qiao Ran read the text message silently, replied one, put the phone on the bed and turned to the studio on the other side of the curtain.

[There must be a lot of people that day, I'll go to your place and wait for you to get off work. ] This is what Qiao Ran sent.

They agreed to have dinner together on Christmas Eve, and they also passed Jiang Min's birthday during New Year's Day, because Jiang Min would go back to City B to accompany her parents on New Year's Day, and spend a birthday with them there.

However, Qiao Ran didn't have many happy smiles now, but just lifted the covering cloth expressionlessly, picked a very high-contrast color and continued to paint on the canvas.

Time runs out like the paint in Qiao Ran's pen.

December 24th is coming soon.

It has been more than 40 days since Mu Zixin disappeared, and Qiao Ran didn't ask Luo Ye. Apart from complaining that the boss threw the gallery to her, Luo Ye never mentioned what Mu Zixin was doing.

So, did Mu Zixin really stop showing up and quit the gallery?

While waiting for Jiang Min, Qiao Ran inevitably thought of this.

"Have you been waiting for a long time? I can go." Jiang Min appeared in front of Qiao Ran and said with a smile. A few strands of hair, "Well, that's it."

Qiao Ran showed a smile, and walked into the cold winter wind with Jiang Min.

The street is very lively, the tree trunks along the street are decorated with colorful lights, flickering festive lights, and the shops are more or less decorated with bright red Christmas decorations, cute elk, and smiling Santa Claus.

Not far across the street, you can also see someone dressed as Santa Claus distributing small gifts.

People on the street are laughing.

Even after walking into the store and sitting down, Qiao Ran couldn't help but linger on the bustling scene on the street outside the window.

[In previous festivals, you would definitely not come out. ] Jiang Min was opposite Qiao Ran, signing directly in sign language.

After all, for lip reading, sign language is easier to distinguish.

Qiao Ran couldn't refute, so he could only nod his head.

In such an environment, no matter how lively it was as a picture, she couldn't hear any sound.

This will make Qiao Ran feel that the more lively the place is, the lonelier she will be.

[But the festive streets are the best conveyers of joy. ] Jiang Min intends to make Qiao Ran more willing to come out. Over the past month, Qiao Ran's complexion is better than before, but she has lost some weight.

Every time she saw Qiao Ran standing in front of the easel and waving a paintbrush, Jiang Min always felt that her sister looked extraordinarily lonely, and the feeling of being alone was a little heavier than before.

It turns out that a person's mood can really affect the appearance and feeling of the whole person?Jiang Min had to admit this.

This made her reluctance to agree with Qiao Ran and Mu Zixin's heart somewhat shaken, and she began to wonder if her idea would really go wrong.

[Yes. ] Qiao Ran made a gesture.

As long as you are not alone, looking at the festive streets, even if there is no sound, you can still feel the joy in the atmosphere.

However, just when she turned her head and said such a simple sentence to Jiang Min, she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Qiao Ran subconsciously turned her head to search, and finally found that person in the crowd not far away.

The person who had been missing for more than 40 days, even if she changed her hairstyle and put on a thick winter coat, Qiao Ran could still recognize it from the crowd at a glance. with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Min noticed Qiao Ran's movements and turned to look over.

Following Qiao Ran's gaze, Jiang Min found Mu Zixin not long after, and couldn't help frowning.

Such a coincidence?This was Jiang Min's first reaction, and the second question that came to her mind was, who is the person Mu Zixin is so close to?

There were too many people in the festival, and after only seeing this scene, Mu Zixin and the two of them were overwhelmed by the flow of people and could not be found again.

Jiang Min turned her head to look at Qiao Ran, but before she could speak, she felt a pain in her heart.

There was still a sense of loneliness on Qiao Ran's face that was too late to take back, and the smile that had finally appeared before had long since disappeared.

"Of course." Jiang Min stood up, covered Qiao Ran's eyes with her hands, and pushed her head back. Jiang Min helped her cover her eyes like this, this is a unique little gesture among their sisters.

However, she helped Qiao Ran cover her eyes, so who will cover her eyes?

Looking at the corner of Qiao Ran's drooping mouth, Jiang Min's heart ached.

She knew that if she opened her mouth to explain Qiao Ran, maybe Qiao Ran would not be able to get into a dead end and face her own heart squarely.

She really didn't want to compromise, but she didn't want to see Ranran's expression. If Qiao Ran still liked a woman in the end, then what was the purpose of her patience and cover-up for so many years? !

I don't know how long it has passed, and I don't know how many people cast strange and puzzled eyes.

It wasn't until Qiao Ran reached out to hold his wrist that Jiang Min let go, sat down again, turned his head to wipe his eyes when Qiao Ran was not paying attention, quickly adjusted his expression, and then looked at Qiao Ran.

The expression on Qiao Ran's face was a bit complicated and very distressed.

In the end, Jiang Min sighed slightly, and finally said: "Of course, it was Mu Zixin just now."

Qiao Ran was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course." Jiang Min squeezed Qiao Ran's hand and asked her to look at herself, "You can tell me what you think, I'm your dearest sister." She tried to make herself smile, and then found that I actually did it myself.

This should be a good thing, right?Jiang Min smiled wryly from the bottom of her heart.

There was a confused look in Qiao Ran's eyes.

She frowned and thought for a while, and then signed intermittently: [I still haven't been able to get used to the quiet life. ]

[However, it seems to have gotten better recently. ] Qiao Ran immediately followed up with this sentence, but she didn't mention that when she saw Mu Zixin, the words from the letter left by Mu Zixin popped up again.

Jiang Min watched and waited quietly, expressing her concern with her eyes.

Qiao Ran was always hesitating. Jiang Min could understand the uneasiness in her heart, and no one could understand it better than Jiang Min.

Qiao Ran, who has lost many things, is most afraid of "losing".

After a long pause, Qiao Ran typed out another sentence.

[She seems to have lost a lot of weight. ]
