Xiao has thought about it for a long time

Everything subtly, from some unknown day, Josie frequently met Fu Bei in a cafeteria.

The junior and senior high schools of Jiangcheng International High School are separated and relatively far away, and there are various canteens here, located all over the campus, and middle and high school students hardly meet each other when they eat.

At first Fu Bei would bring one or two classmates over, but gradually he was alone.

Josie didn't ask anything, went to the cafeteria on time every day, and waited in the frequented area after lunch. The high school teaching building area was about ten minutes away from here, and Fu Bei always arrived around 12:30.

Except for this first change, there is no other difference. Every day after school, Chen Shuo still came over to deliver food in different ways, but he stopped delivering food in the middle of the term, and he no longer followed them.

At that time, Zhuang Qiyang had just met Fu Bei, and Josie overheard him say: "That kid was completely hurt before he confessed, it's miserable, it's really miserable."

The ignorant love of youth always ends without a problem. I feel sad for a while, thinking that the sky is about to collapse, but in fact, it is not painful, and the mood passes away. When Chen Shuo reappears, he becomes almost the same as usual, but he no longer wants to Fu Bei offers his best.

Josie still didn't know about feelings, so she asked Fu Bei in the car, "What's the matter with you and Chen Shuo?"

Fu Bei said lightly, "It's nothing."

"Does he want to be nice to you?" The child was unrestrained and dared to say anything.

In fact, these words did not come from her, but from Zhao Shihuan.

Fu Bei probably didn't like to hear it, or maybe it was too strange for a 12-year-old child to say such words, his dark eyes shrank, and he asked, "Who told you?"

"No one."

Josie is not very good at lying, so she couldn't help but look sideways, not daring to look into Fu Bei's eyes.

For no reason, like Zhao Shihuan, Fu Bei rubbed her head and said, "Studying with your heart, don't think about it all day long."

Josie dodged without any resistance, her waist straightened and her back stiff.

Today's children are precocious, and there are many sneaky puppy loves in junior high school. They know a lot of things, but they are too young to say it out loud. Josie has long understood Chen Shuo's thoughts on Fu Bei. She thinks it's not her own imagination. It was Chen Shuo who had a problem, and he was still in the critical period of studying, which affected himself and Fu Bei as well.

Strange to say, since this time, it seems that nothing like this has happened around Fu Bei again. It is probably because Grandpa Fu has sounded the alarm, not to be contaminated by these things.

After that, Fu Bei chose to stay in China to study.It’s not about advocating foreign education. The big trend at that time was studying abroad. Many students of Jiangcheng International School went abroad after finishing junior high school, and some chose to go abroad after university. There are only a few schools in China that rank well in the world. Educational resources, if conditions permit, we must choose a school with stronger strength.

Josie thought this person would choose to study abroad, but couldn't figure out why.

There are many reasons for Fu Bei to stay in China. The old lady is getting older, her family, and she herself prefers to stay in Jiangcheng, so she was directly reported to the Mathematics Department of Jiangcheng University.

At that time, the University City had not been built for a few years. In order to develop, the government vigorously supported education and made every effort to promote the construction of several universities represented by Jiangcheng University.

In my memory, those one or two years passed so quickly that Josie didn't even have a deep impression, and I couldn't even remember whether Qiao Jianliang and Qiao's mother had a fierce quarrel.

Jiang University is only a ten-minute drive away from Jiangcheng International. One day, Josie went to Jiang University to see Fu Bei, and called someone to pick him up at the school gate.

After eating in Jiang University that day, it was dark, and Fu Bei wanted to send her back. When he walked to the flower bed at the back door of the school, there was a cat meowing in the dense bushes. Meowing is very different.

Curious, Josie stopped to take a closer look, but was pulled away by Fu Bei.

"Don't look around."

"There's a cat over there, and it's screaming so badly."

Fu Bei's expression moved slightly, he hesitated to speak, he stopped when he wanted to explain, and pulled Josie away, far away.

The high-pitched meowing only lasted for a while. Josie looked back and saw two tabby cats running out of the bushes one after another, the thin one chasing the fat one.

They took a taxi back to the compound. The taxi was dark with no lights on. The driver kept his mouth shut and concentrated on driving. He never said a word since he asked them where they were going.

Josie sat next to Fu Bei's arm, intentionally getting closer.

The car was too quiet, she tilted her head and asked, "You're back in the compound, no class tomorrow?"

Fu Bei: "There is class."

"Then you go back."

The man didn't say a word, maybe because he disliked her talkativeness, he leaned his back against the seat and closed his eyes, and drove for a while. There were street lamps erected on both sides of the street. Her well-defined profile is soft and quiet.

Josie couldn't help but take a second look, turned away, and sneaked another look for a while.

Fu Bei didn't seem to notice her small movements. After a long time, he replied, "It's only on the second major festival. I'll go back to school in the morning."

She said "oh", and turned her head to look at the scene of the street passing by. Sitting in the car, she couldn't hear the sound in the distance. The street seemed empty and lonely, but it was not. There were so many people coming and going, it must be very lively .

Josie moved back and forth uncomfortably, restless at all, she got closer and closer to Fu Bei, when he opened his eyes, she suddenly whispered: "Just now behind the banyan tree at the gate of your school, I saw someone The two hugged each other tightly."

Fu Bei turned to look at her, listening to what he was going to say.

Josie continued: "The mouth with the straight hair eating the curly hair."

Children use unusual expressions, straight hair and curly hair, mouths instead of kisses or kisses.

Maybe Fu Bei didn't understand, or maybe he didn't care, and just replied, "Don't look at it in the future."

In fact, Josie hasn't finished talking yet. What she saw was far more than that. Her hair was straight and curly, just like what was shown on TV, but it was more extreme than on TV. The back door was dark and there were few people at night. Two doing dirty things in the dark.

Lying on the bed at night, she always thought of this matter in her mind. She was thirsty for knowledge when she was a teenager, but this knowledge was not book knowledge. She didn't understand how those two people would do that, and she couldn't find any reason after thinking about it.

Josie is still a blank sheet of paper, untouched by pen and ink, but the first strokes in her life are so thick and colorful. Thinking about it, her heart was beating violently, she fell asleep in a daze, and vaguely dreamed of herself Returning to Jiangda's back door, she pushed through the bushes and saw the skinny cat pressing on the fat cat's back, opening its mouth and baring its teeth to bite the back of the fat cat's neck. The strange thing is that the fat cat didn't resist.

As soon as the scene changed, the fat cat ran away and ran to the banyan tree.

The straight hair is there, hugging the waist of the curly hair, and the other hand is climbing up...

Then Josie woke up.

The TV series was so boring that she saw that she fell asleep. She calmed down, moved her stiff and sore waist, got up and turned off the TV.

Rubbing between her eyebrows, recalling the dream just now, she couldn't think of the specific scene clearly, but she vaguely remembered that it happened before, maybe she was really too tired recently, and the troublesome things were too complicated, and she would I keep having this dream.

The mobile phone has long been out of power and automatically shuts down. Go back to the room to recharge it, pack up and go to bed.

In Jiangcheng after autumn, the weather often changes, from cloudy to sunny, and the next two days will be sunny.Tang Yi's parents came to Jiangcheng, and Josie went to an appointment for dinner. Tang Yi's parents were very nice and brought her a birthday present. The couple only stayed here for two days, and they couldn't wait until her birthday.

To express her gratitude, on the day Tang Yi's parents left Jiangcheng, Josie bought a lot of special products to give them. Tang Yi was quite touched and boasted: "Yes, you are really loyal."

On the way back to Qijing Street, Josie met Fu Bei on the next street.

It was the rush hour for get off work, and the road was blocked, and the long queue of vehicles moved slowly, unable to travel a few meters for half a day.In front of the Huating Hotel, Fu Bei stood with an old man in Tang suit. The old man's hair was gray, but he was full of energy. easy going person.

Fu Bei seemed to be standing shoulder to shoulder with the old man, but in fact he was a little behind so as not to walk in front, and his demeanor was cautious and calm.

Josie guessed that the other party was the rumored Second Master Tan. She thought he was a vigorous middle-aged man, but she was already so old.

The traffic moved forward slowly, further and further away.

Due to preparations for her birthday, Josie closed the store one day in advance as a holiday for herself. The sixth day was Thursday, and on Wednesday she went to visit the old lady in the cemetery.

Unexpectedly, he met Fu Bei who was also single.

Both parties bought the bird of paradise, the old lady's favorite flower during her lifetime.

In front of the old man's grave, both of them temporarily put everything aside, Fu Bei spoke first, "Why do you want to come here?"

After all, today is not a holiday, nor is it a day of special significance.

Josie bent down to put down the flowers and said, "When I have time, I will come."

The two held hands with each other and offered incense to the old lady. The cemetery was empty and quiet, and almost no one came on weekdays. As far as the eye could see, there were many tombstones and dark green vegetation all over the mountain. .

Josie is sincere, and she is quiet and serious in everything she does. No matter how many things there are between the two of them, naturally they will not talk openly and honestly here. I left, I went to see her the day before, she was fine, she was still basking in the sun on the balcony outside the practice room, I sat with her all afternoon, senior sisters and the others also came, but they didn’t stay long.”

Fu Bei listened quietly and stood in front of him.

"I'm leaving at night, so she pulled me, put the phone over, and asked, can I call you?"

The old lady sees many things clearly, and the explanation is extremely clumsy, "Grandma is old, her eyes are too blurry to see clearly, Xiaoxi, can you call Xiaobei for me, I haven't contacted her for a long time gone."

In fact, Fu Bei often called the old lady on the phone, and those remarks were all excuses to deceive Josie.

It's hard to tell what happened in the world. Part of the reason for Fu Bei's going abroad was the old lady, and later the old lady was trying to persuade him to make peace, but it was a pity that Fu Bei agreed and Josie didn't agree.Josie hesitated. After all, she didn't make that phone call. She understood many things. To this day, she doesn't know whether she regrets it or not.

Maybe the old man had such a regret in his heart, but he couldn't make it until he died. It was indeed the old lady who persuaded Fu Bei to go abroad, but she is not a bad person, and she never was.

When she said these words, Josie's tone didn't fluctuate too much, and her face was calm.

She was no longer as easy to see through as she was when she was a child. Fu Bei didn't know what she was thinking.

Before, Josie was obviously innocent, she seduced Fu Bei into bed, her joy did not seem to be fake, but later on, her cruel heart was not fake, and she was not sure what she was thinking.

Maybe it's unwillingness to get it once, maybe it's too indifferent, the past is no longer important, and you can do whatever you want, maybe it's because of your personality, you would rather hurt yourself than let the other person feel better...

Fu Beida could say "I'm sorry", but she couldn't open her mouth, an apology wouldn't do anything, and she didn't need it, she couldn't explain some things in a few words, and she made the decision herself, no one forced her with a knife on her neck, So she has to bear the consequences.

"I should have called you," Josie said again.

It's just a phone call, but it won't kill you if you make a call.

The wind in the mountains is soft and comfortable.

"Josie." Fu Bei held her arm, afraid that she would leave, and closed his thin lips, "I went back to China to find you..."

Josie was indifferent, "When, two years ago?"

She knows it all.

——Two years ago, what else were you looking for.

Jiangcheng really entered autumn overnight, and the temperature plummeted to more than ten degrees. This year, the temperature dropped much earlier than in previous years.

The place for the birthday party was set at a daily rented villa in the suburbs. Josie didn't want to celebrate at home, was too lazy to clean up, and didn't want to end it with a hasty meal. Tang Yi helped choose the place, which was about four to ten minutes' drive from Qijing Street.

He didn't wait for Fu Bei, and didn't tell him his address.

Her friends arrived earlier than Josie and had already arranged the place. She was used to being alone, but she did not lack friends and had her own social circle.

Not many people came, Zhao Shihuan was the last one to arrive, this place is hard to find.

"Qiao Qiao—" Zhao Shihuan smiled.

"Sister Huan." Just as Josie responded, she was suddenly hugged the next moment.

Zhao Shihuan has a lot of strength, so he won't let him move.

Josie was a little uncomfortable, and before she had time to move, she caught a glimpse of a black Maybach parked next to Zhao Shihuan's Bentley in the distance.

The place where the car is parked is half covered by old trees, and there are many cars parked there, so it is not easy to be noticed.

Seeing the people getting out of the car, she froze.

Zhao Shihuan raised his hand and patted her on the back, saying, "23, happy birthday."
