It's still raining, with no tendency to decrease.

The knocking on the door continued, with no intention of stopping.

After more than ten minutes, there was finally no sound outside the door.

Jian Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, twisted the cigarette in her hand, kicked off her shoes and got on the bed.

Just sleeping until midnight, she was awakened by the nightmare again.

Jian Qiao sat up with lingering fear, caressing her undulating chest, closed her eyes and leaned against the corner of the wall to breathe.

"Meow." Dong Zai rubbed her right leg affectionately.

Jian Qiao turned on the bedside lamp, reached out and rubbed Dong Zai's head.

"Did I wake you up?"

Winter Cub shook his head.

Jian Qiao picked it up, and Xiao Li stroked its body.

At five o'clock in the morning, one person and one cat cuddled each other and lay down again.

The late afternoon came.

"You..." Seeing Jian Qiao's skinny appearance, Chi Yu's eyes immediately turned red, and he was choked up for a long time, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Jian Qiao gently held Chi Yu's face, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.

Chi Yu couldn't help but hold Jian Qiao in his arms... When he touched the thin and protruding back of this man, his nasal cavity was sour, and hot and humid liquid burst out of his eyes again uncontrollably.

After a long time, Chi Yu finally stopped crying.She turned sideways slightly, and glanced at Jian Qiao's shoulder, where the clothes were wet from her own crying... She pouted embarrassingly.

Jian Qiao stretched out her hand and silently took her to sit on her bed.

"I'll wait here," Jian Qiao bent slightly, "I'll get you a hot towel for your eyes."

"it is good."

After helping Chi Yu apply the eyes, Jian Qiao boiled two more eggs. After removing the shells, she carefully rolled the eggs around the eye sockets of this man.

"Jojo."

"Ok?"

"Is this egg still edible? I'm a little hungry."

"Yes," Jian Qiao rarely showed a long-lost smile, "as long as you don't despise yourself."

After eating the eggs, Chi Yu hugged Jian Qiao's arm and leaned against her: "It was Li Wan who told me your address on the phone yesterday."

Jian Qiao didn't say anything, but she had already guessed it.

"She hasn't left yet, she lives in the hotel opposite your community, but she may think that you don't want to see her now, so she didn't follow."

The expression on Jian Qiao's face was dark and unclear. After a while, she withdrew her arm, stood up and leaned against the white wall by the window, and smoked with her eyes closed.

The dense smoke drifted over, Chi Yu resisted the choking and didn't open the window.

"Here I am..." Jian Qiao pointed to her heart, and said hoarsely, "I have been riddled with holes for a long time, and now just living has consumed all my strength... I can no longer love gone."

"..." Chi Yu looked at Jian Qiao with great distress, and struggled to say, "Then I'll tell her later and make her forget about you."

"……thanks."

Before going to sleep, Chi Yu talked about meeting Jing County.Except for Zuo Yan who fled abroad, the other three members of the Zuo family were all punished by law for their early or recent crimes.

In the dark night, Chi Yu tilted his head and looked towards Jian Qiao: "Besides, I haven't forgotten your entrustment to me, and brought Qingcao back to Lin Ping as soon as I found a suitable opportunity."

Jian Qiao's heart was shocked, she gratefully squeezed Chi Yu's hand, and held it in her palm.

"You also know that Qingcao is a restless person, she is helping the cook at home now," Chi Yu leaned over, "Our mother sympathizes with her experience, and loves her very much. When I came to look for you, our mother just happened to I took her to the most famous Qingguan Temple in Lin Ping, and wanted to pray for a blessing for her."

Hearing the words 'our mother', a warm current flowed unconsciously in Jian Qiao's heart.

She turned over to face Chi Yu, put her head on the man's shoulder, and murmured: "It's good to have you."

Chi Yu pressed Jian Qiao's brow lightly with his thumb: "Don't hide anything from me in the future, we are a family."

"Ah."

The next afternoon Li Wan received a call from Chi Yu, and she returned to Jing County at night.But a week later, she came back.

At that time, Chi Yu was carrying his bag and was about to leave, but unexpectedly bumped into Li Wan at the elevator entrance of Jian Qiao's floor.

Chi Yu's eyes were full of doubts, she thought that Li Wan had given up following her advice, how could she have thought that this person would suddenly appear with a suitcase behind him.

Chi Yu noticed that Li Wan's fingertips were turning white due to too much force on the luggage handle, and this person was looking at Jian Qiao who hadn't seen him for many months, his eyes were full of pity.

Jian Qiao deliberately avoided Li Wan's sight...

Chi Yu stretched out his fingers and made a small movement, beckoning Li Wan, and then dragged Jian Qiao into the elevator.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, there was a knock on the door.Through the cat's eyes, Jian Qiao saw Aunt Lian standing outside, who was also her landlord.

After a little hesitation, Jian Qiao opened the door for her.

"Little Qiao," Aunt Lian said with a kind face, "I accidentally made too much for dinner, and it's a pity to have leftovers. If you haven't eaten yet, go to my place."

Auntie Lian is almost 60 years old. She has been single and has multiple properties under her name. Although she is rich, she is not arrogant. Jian Qiao chose to rent here at first, probably because Auntie Lian is gentle and has few things, so she will not disturb her easily. .

"I'm sorry, Aunt Lian, I..."

"It's okay," Aunt Lian's eyes dimmed, but she still had a decent smile on her face, "I took the liberty."

Seeing the back of Aunt Lian turning around lonely and leaving in small steps, Jian Qiao couldn't help calling her again.

"Little Qiao, have you changed your mind?" Aunt Lian hurriedly turned her head and looked at her expectantly.

Jane Qiao nodded.

Sweeping away the disappointment just now, Aunt Lian became radiant.

"You can also bring your cat if you want, I like it very much."

Jane Qiao nodded.

The diagonally opposite door suddenly opened, and Li Wan came out from inside.

"Auntie, I haven't had dinner either," Li Wan said in a polite and humble tone, "I wonder if I can have the honor to go to your house for a meal?"

"Of course it's possible, if there are more people, it's more lively." Aunt Lian beamed happily.

Jian Qiao scratched at the edge of the door with her fingers, she regretted it now, if she had known this man was going, she would not have agreed.

"Thank you, Auntie, then I'll go over after changing my clothes." Li Wan knew that Auntie Lian lived upstairs.

"Okay," Aunt Lian looked away from Li Wan and landed on Jian Qiao's face, "Xiao Qiao, do you need to change?"

"Well... Aunt Lian, I'll go to your place later."

Aunt Lian nodded kindly: "Little Qiao, then I'll go back first, see you later."

After dawdling in the room for a while, Jian Qiao came out with Dong Zai in her arms, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Li Wan waiting outside.

Dong Zai rolled his eyes and meowed twice at Li Wan.

Li Wan glanced at Dong Zai, sized it up a bit, and then muttered, "Why is it so thin?" It seemed to be a question but also a sigh.

Jian Qiao pursed her lips and walked in front. Li Wan regained her composure and hurried forward.

When they got there, the two of them realized that Aunt Lian had prepared a whole table of dishes.

"Xiaowan, you are so beautiful in this pearl white cheongsam, it fits your temperament very well." At the dinner table, Auntie Lian looked a little nostalgic, "I also liked to wear cheongsam when I was young, but my family background was average , I can’t afford the cheongsam I like, so I rely on my mother to sew it for me..."

Li Wan followed Aunt Lian's words and chatted a few words, and when Aunt Lian left her seat to serve rice, she turned her head and asked Jian Qiao in a low voice.

"Do you think my clothes look good?"

Jian Qiao turned her face away and said no to her.

Not only was Li Wan not annoyed, she also served Jian Qiao a bowl of chicken soup.

But Jian Qiao didn't take a sip.

Barely eating a third full, Jian Qiao wanted to leave.

"Aunt Lian..."

Jian Qiao had only uttered three words before being interrupted by Li Wan anxiously.

"Auntie, is there any juice at home? She likes to drink juice when she eats."

"Yes, yes, look at my memory, I'll go get it right away," Aunt Lian got up and took two steps, then looked back, "You two... have known each other before?"

"I'm her girlfriend," Xu Shi felt guilty, but Li Wan added weakly, "...ex-girlfriend."

Aunt Lian was surprised for a moment, and then smiled lovingly.

In addition to juice, Aunt Lian also took a bottle of Fenjiu.

"Today is my birthday, I didn't want to tell you guys, but Xiaowan's words just now triggered a lot of emotions in my heart... It's hard to calm down, I want to have a drink or two, I hope you will see that I am an old birthday star Don't mind too much."

After hearing this, Li Wan subconsciously glanced at Jian Qiao's reaction, and felt relieved when she saw the man pick up the chopsticks again.

There was a warm burning sensation in her throat. Auntie Lian stroked the rim of the wine glass, thoughtfully, and then spoke slowly.

"Actually, 40 years ago, I also fell in love with the same sex. She was my classmate in high school." When talking about the past, even the aunt's voice became low. "Her family lives in a remote town. Both economic and economical are relatively backward, and her father gave her the opportunity to come to the provincial capital to borrow and study because of her father's relationship..."

"At first, no one noticed her. She was introverted and shy, but as time passed, we found that this girl was warm-hearted. In today's terms, she is a real Lei Feng."

"Naturally, I have also received her care and care. When I felt unwell a few times, it was she who helped me run and run. We became acquainted with each other after going back and forth. The relationship between the two gradually improved. I also get along with each other every day. I was gradually attracted to her, and finally moved my mind that I shouldn't have."

Speaking of this, Aunt Lian showed a bit of bitterness at the corner of her mouth: "It's just that in that era, people's ideas were too traditional and feudal. They believed that the combination of men and women was the right way of yin and yang, and that love between women and women was against ordinary relationships...so I had to Secretly bury the love in the bottom of my heart."

Li Wan was moved when she heard that, so she turned sideways and asked, "Then... what happened next?"

"Later her father died unexpectedly, and her mother decided to let her drop out of school and go home, forcing her to marry a rough man 20 years older than her, and finally died of dystocia... I was still in college at that time," recalled These, even my aunt's heart was broken, "Before she died, the person who kept talking about it was me. She wanted to see me very much, but unfortunately I couldn't make it in time."

With a very sad ending, both Jian Qiao and Li Wan fell silent for a while.

Aunt Lian burst into tears: "At that time, I only hated that I was not a man, that I couldn't give her a home, and couldn't give her a shoulder to rely on."

Jian Qiao handed Aunt Lian a tissue, and asked speculatively, "Did she never know that you liked her?"

"Yes, I never said it." Even if I said it, the ending would be hard to change. In that kind of environment, it is an unforgivable sin for a woman to like a woman on the moral level.

Auntie Lian wiped away her tears, gently grabbed Jian Qiao's hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Little Qiao, your eyes are very similar to hers, the first time I saw you, I saw her in my mind, really Thank you very much for being willing to have a meal with me on this special day."

Jian Qiao's lips moved, but in the end she didn't say anything, but gently shook her back.

Seeing Jian Qiao's movements, Li Wan's eyes instantly became soft and gentle, she knew that this person's kindness was engraved in his bones.
