flower girl

After getting on the subway, the fire in Qu Yan's heart still persisted, so she couldn't understand why this Tan Xiaofei was following her so hard!

At the same time, she also realized a problem that was almost overlooked.

How did he know about the flower shop?

She came to work, except for Bai Zi, but not even Liu Ye...

etc!Qu Yan suddenly woke up.

Baizi?

Qu Yan was taken aback by this guess!Then the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. First, Bai Zi found her a job out of nowhere, and then tried his best to persuade her to come to this flower shop, but ended up running into Tan Xiaofei on the first day of work. No matter how you look at it, there seems to be something tricky about it!

But the two of them couldn't fight each other, how could Baizi turn his elbow outward?

The subway announcement sounded at the right time, reminding her that she had arrived at her destination, no matter how much Qu Yan struggled, she had to focus on the matter in front of her.

After getting off the subway, Qu Yan came to a Cantonese restaurant according to the address on the card. After explaining her purpose, a waiter led her up to the second floor.

The process of sending flowers was very smooth, but on the way back, Qu Yan passed a private room with a half-open door, and she really just gave that woman a casual glance.

Subconsciously stopped, Qu Yan couldn't help opening her eyes.

The woman looked back at her, and the next moment she got up and walked over.

Qu Yan stood where he was, suddenly felt his mouth dry and his heartbeat began to double.

But the woman's eyes just skipped across her face.

Then, close the door.

"..."

The surprises and hopes in her eyes vanished, and Qu Yan stood there in astonishment, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head.

The blood coagulates and the whole body becomes stiff.

Her expression changed again and again, and she even wondered if she had recognized the wrong person, but those eyes!

Even after so many years, she still has a deep memory.

She will not admit it wrong!

Impossible to be mistaken.

Enduring the suffocating pain in her chest, Qu Yan lowered her eyes, stepped forward and knocked on the door.

It was the same woman who opened the door. Looking at it closely, those eyes were indeed as beautiful as in memory. The difference was that the eyes were not as gentle as in memory, only strange and defensive.

"You are?" The woman put her hand on the door and looked at the girl outside the door suspiciously.

Looking at those eyes that were very similar to hers, Qu Yan tried her best to maintain her composure, but she couldn't hide the sourness in her heart.

She didn't admit her mistake, but the other party didn't remember.

It was also at this time that she noticed that there was a middle-aged man in his 40s with a square face, well-dressed and slightly fat body sitting in the private room, and he was holding a little girl in a birthday hat in his arms. They raised their heads when they saw her.

Qu Yan took a deep breath, and in an instant, her blood surged to her brain, and she quickly withdrew her gaze.

After holding back, she didn't let her voice tremble too much, "Long time no see, Chen Jing."

Hearing what she said, Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at her for a moment, and asked in surprise, "You know me?"

Qu Yan closed her eyes and sneered for a while.

"That's right, I'm Qu Xiangcheng's daughter, do you know me well?"

"Snapped!"

Something fell on the ground, Qu Yan lowered her eyes, it was a piece of cake that had just been cut.Thinking of that little girl again, Qu Yan clenched her hand hanging by her side a little more.

Chen Jing looked at her with disbelief in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Jing'er!"

A man's question came from behind, Chen Jing picked up the plate in a panic, with a blunt smile, "It's okay, I met an acquaintance, first you accompany Peipei to cut the cake, I will be back in a while."

After speaking, he turned around, grabbed Qu Yan's wrist and led her out of the private room quickly, and didn't stop until he was close to the stairs.

Downstairs, Tan Xiaofei also found this restaurant based on his memory, and when he was about to go upstairs, he found Qu Yan standing on the second floor, and the panic-looking woman beside her.

Holding on to the handrail of the stairs, Tan Xiaofei stopped.

Qu Yan broke away from Chen Jing's hand, and asked with a trembling voice, "Why, I'm afraid he knows you have a daughter in her 20s?"

Chen Jing's delicately made-up face was completely blushed because of these words, she looked at Qu Yan and called out cautiously: "Xiao Ai..."

Hearing this long-lost name, Qu Yan was stunned for a moment, and her chest became more and more uncomfortable. She sniffed and said sarcastically, "It's hard for you to remember."

Chen Jing's eyes turned red immediately, and she opened her mouth for a while before asking again, "These years... how have you been? Your father..."

Before finishing speaking, Qu Yan laughed.

"Okay! Is it okay? You ran away, he died, and it would be best to leave me alone."

Hearing this for the first time, Chen Jing was stunned for a moment. When she recovered, she couldn't believe it at first, and then she covered her face and wept.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, little love! I, I don't know..."

Qu Yan's eye sockets were also getting wet gradually, her tone was choked with sobs, "Yes, you are sorry for me."

"For 15 years, you haven't even sent me a text message. If I didn't happen to meet you today, would you never think of me in this life?"

Chen Jing shook her head and sobbed, unable to speak, her tears fell fiercely, as if she was the one who had been wronged greatly.

Qu Yan blinked, covering the sadness and sarcasm in her eyes, and let the anger that had accumulated for many years and was difficult to suppress leak out from her voice.

"Back then you divorced my dad without telling me, and you left without telling me! What am I in your heart?"

"I've thought about it countless times, what will you say to me if we meet again one day, but I really didn't expect that you don't know me!"

Qu Yan gritted her teeth, thinking of the father and daughter in the private room again, she nodded with self-deprecation and resentment, "That's right, look at how happy you are now, how can you still remember me?"

Chen Jing didn't care to cry anymore, quickly grabbed her hand, and explained eagerly: "No, little love, no! Don't say that!"

But Qu Yan vigorously swung it away.

"Then what should I say? Should I also pretend that I don't know you! I shouldn't disturb your family of three!"

As if thinking of something again, Qu Yan raised her lips contemptuously, and asked with cold eyes: "The little girl celebrates her birthday today, right? Then let me ask you, do you remember my birthday?"

People passed by from time to time, all kinds of eyes fell on the two of them, Qu Yan ignored them, and still complained word by word.

There were too many grievances in her heart, and the more time passed, the more painful it became. She had to vent it out in front of Chen Jing today.

"My dad! I had a heart attack at two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I fell off the bed and was foaming at the mouth. Do you know how scared I am? I found your phone number with great difficulty, but I called from morning to night for a whole day ! No answer.”

"I signed the critical illness notice alone, and I signed the death notice alone."

Qu Yan held back the tears that were about to burst into her eyes, pointed at the door of the private room, and asked in a soft voice, "Hey? I'll ask you, Chen Jing! I'll ask you! Both are daughters, how can you Are you so cruel to me?"

"Where did I go wrong! Tell me!" Shouting this sentence hoarsely, Qu Yan gasped for breath, and the tears that had been accumulated for a long time rushed out.

"no!"

Chen Jing shook her head again and again, eagerly explaining, "At that time! After I separated from your father, I thought about taking you away too! But...but I didn't go to class at that time, I was afraid that I would not be able to support you, I'm afraid you will suffer with me!"

Qu Yan nodded with a sneer, and made a harsh proposal: "Okay! As long as what you said is true, then you are stable now, right? Let's go, do you dare to take me to get to know the man sitting in the room?" people, tell them who I am?"

Having said that, she really walked a few steps towards the private room.

"Don't! Don't! Xiao Ai, I beg you! Don't!"

Sure enough, Chen Jing pulled her back, the distorted expression on her face was extremely eye-catching.

Qu Yan looked at her sideways, seeing her holding her hand tightly, and suddenly smiled.

I couldn't tell if I was disappointed or relieved.

In fact, she knew very well that they were no longer a family.

This woman is someone else's wife now, the mother of other children, and she is, at best, the failed past she wants to hide.

"Okay. It's been so many years, you are no longer important to me, you are really rare to me!"

Smiling and blinking, Qu Yan opened Chen Jing's fingers one by one, and said: "It's a coincidence today, but don't worry, I won't pester you, and I'm not interested." If you disturb your family of three, you can live your happy life with peace of mind, we have nothing to do with each other."

Wiping away the wet tears on her face, Qu Yan didn't look at her again, turned around and went downstairs, leaving behind Chen Jing's pleading cries.

Unsurprisingly, she met Tan Xiaofei.

Their eyes met, and Tan Xiaofei stared at her intently.

Looking at her reddened nose and eye sockets, and then thinking of her crying words, my mood became very delicate, a little helpless, and more... distressed.

It was strange to say that he could empathize with how much grievance and resentment was hidden in her seemingly relaxed and indifferent appearance.

Tan Xiaofei frowned, opened his mouth several times, and finally just asked softly: "The flowers...are you finished?"

Standing on the steps, Qu Yan was just able to look at him at the same level. She nodded for some reason, but did not ask Tan Xiaofei the reason for appearing here.

"That…"

Tan Xiaofei approached a little closer, and there was unprecedented tenderness in his dark and deep eyes. He looked at her, and stretched out his hand with a smile: "Then let's go, to save face, I will take you for a ride!"

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the sun finally rose to a high altitude, pierced through the gray fog layer, and sprinkled into this small Cantonese restaurant.

It also fell into his palm, and climbed over his arm along his fingertips, submerging him little by little.His whole body was immersed in the light, and his body was smudged with light golden flakes. Such a natural filter seemed to smooth out all the coldness on his body.

Only intoxicating tenderness remained.

She looked at him fixedly, with tears in her eyes, but her frowning brows gradually relaxed.

...

"Why do you want to change your name?"

At that time, Bai Zi was sitting on the pool table and asked her.

How did she answer?

"too disgusting."

Qu Xiangcheng and Chen Jing were bound together by an arranged marriage.Even though he was married, he didn't have much affection, but under the pressure of his parents, he had to give birth to a child in a quarrel.

By the eighth year of marriage, the old people had passed away one after another, and Chen Jing was finally liberated, she got rid of all the burdens she hated, and disappeared without a trace.

And she is just a product of the two people's last resort, but she is named after 'love', how ridiculous!How ironic.

"Then what do you want to change? Do I need to find someone to figure it out?" Bai Zi hesitated for a while and didn't ask any further questions, only giving suggestions.

"No need." She shook her head, played with the cigarette case in her hand, and chuckled lightly, "Anything will do."

"What's this called! Look at whoever named it! Forget it, I'll check it out for you. If you want to change it, you have to change it to something nice!"

"Why bother." She curled her lips contemptuously, shaking her fingers holding the cigarette case, "It's not ready-made."

"Quyan?"

There was a whisper in his ear, Qu Yan came back to his senses, and what caught his eyes was Tan Xiaofei's handsome face.

He looked at her with a low voice.

"Are you okay?"

Without the publicity of the past, those aggressive eyebrows and eyes seem to be much softer now.

She shook her head and looked away.

The atmosphere in the car was silent for a while, Tan Xiaofei looked at her side face, opened his mouth several times but failed.

"what you want to say?"

Qu Yan turned his face away, his calm eyes fixed on his face.

Tan Xiaofei frowned, as if he had made a lot of determination, he suddenly stretched out his hand and embraced her forcefully, before she could struggle, he whispered in her ear:

"do not move!"

Qu Yan's pupils opened slightly, but she didn't move at all.

"I have a secret I want to tell you, and it's an exchange."

This embrace was much wider than expected, and she was inexplicably relieved. She gave up the idea of ​​pushing away, and quietly waited for his next words.

"It's not the first time that car has had an accident. In June 11...it hit and killed someone."

The warm breath sprayed on her ears, Tan Xiaofei's voice was a little hoarse, with an imperceptible tremor.Qu Yan stared at the pedestrians passing by in the middle of the road outside the car window through his shoulder.

One by one passed by, with indifferent and numb faces.

"If I say, I am not the one who bumped into people... would you believe me?"
