Xiao has thought about it for a long time

In the evening, the sky was gloomy and the cold wind was blowing, making people afraid to straighten their necks. Fortunately, Josie wore a scarf, a pure white one that Fu Bei bought for her a couple of days ago.

Because they hadn't seen each other for so long, it was inevitable that they would be awkward and cold when they met suddenly. Qiao Xi and Qin Si had almost nothing to say. Occasionally, Qin Si would ask a question, and Qiao Xi would answer like squeezing toothpaste.

The veil of secrets has been uncovered, and it is impossible to get along like before. No matter how dull Josie is, she knows that she should keep the boundaries immediately, and she must speak clearly as soon as possible. This will definitely hurt people, and may even make the original relationship worse There is no way to break it, and cutting the mess quickly is the best solution.She made a decision the moment she saw someone, eat a meal, talk again, and try to be as peaceful as possible.

But when they sat in a car, the atmosphere became extremely awkward, as if even the air was stagnant.

They all knew each other well, and some things were understood without saying anything, as if the Chu River and Han Boundary could not be crossed, and finally Josie spoke first: "I haven't been back to Jiangcheng for so long, how are you doing?"

Qin Si pursed his lips, first glanced at the scene outside the car window, his thoughts drifted away, "It's pretty good, everything is okay."

"How long are you going to be back this time?" Josie asked, turning the steering wheel half a turn, and turned to the nearest Cantonese restaurant.

Qin Si didn't answer, kept silent, and selectively avoided this question, probably because he didn't want to say it.Josie froze for a moment, and then remained silent for a while.

In fact, it is quite difficult to speak clearly. We choose every word carefully and cannot pick out a suitable sentence. The words are too heartless and hurtful, let alone broken. Rejection is an art, and it is not easy to do it well.

It's the rush hour, and the vehicles on the road are like a twisting long queue, with no end in sight, all blocked, getting slower and slower as you go forward, the traffic is like a tortoise crawling slowly, and walking is faster than driving.When arriving at the next traffic light intersection, Josie hesitated for a while before asking again: "Did you go on a trip during the Chinese New Year?"

Qin Si likes to travel around, and usually doesn't spend it at home or in Jiangcheng during the New Year's holidays. He would invite friends to go skiing, skydiving and mountain climbing. Josie hasn't contacted her for a long time, so she thought she was going out to play again this year.

Unexpectedly, Qin Si said flatly: "No, I lived at home."

"Is that so." Josie was a little surprised, but didn't ask further.

Qin Si finally responded and asked, "What about you, who did you live with?"

The question was straightforward, asking who was with him, and he had expected Fu Bei's existence for a long time, but he had never mentioned it on the phone.

This time it was Josie who was reticent, thinking about what to say.

In the end, within two seconds, Qin Si said again: "Wan San and the others said that they saw you in Duhe Square last time, what are you doing there?"

Duhe Square is far away from here and Qijing Street. It is located in the west area, and it is not as prosperous as this side. Josie has no friends or anything there. Usually, he hardly goes there. The last time I went was to pick up Fu Bei. , At that time, Fu Bei was attending a symposium near Duhe Square. After drinking some wine, he asked Josie to pick him up. When he went, he did meet Wansan and his wife, and they chatted for a while.

Wan San was there when Fu Bei came out. Wan San looked a little strange, embarrassed and surprised. Before Fu Bei came over, he made an excuse to say goodbye.

Maybe Wansan mentioned this matter to Qin Si, Qin Si had already guessed the relationship between the two of them, just to keep a glimmer of hope and did not ask for confirmation, but Wansan's words completely broke her thoughts.

To ask this question is to some extent a test. To test Josie's feelings for Fu Bei, how Josie answers is very important.

Josie understands the subtext between adults, but when the green light turned on and the car in front started, she had to drive first and walked slowly for a short distance before saying, "Go pick up my girlfriend, she's going there While having a meeting, I was not allowed to drive after drinking alcohol at the dinner, so I went to pick her up."

Straightforward, without reservation, without leaving any room for the other party, with a simple sentence, the boundary is clearly drawn, and the distance is completely opened.

Qin Si's expression was indifferent, her eyes had never looked at Josie, she had been like this since getting in the car, she should have guessed it long ago, after all, she knew Josie's character very well after getting along for two or three years, and she was not very good at it. In dealing with things, but emotionally, he has always been straightforward and decisive. If he doesn't want to provoke, he will resolutely refuse, and he will not leave the other party a chance.

This is also the reason why Qin Si never took the initiative for so long.

Josie has always pretended to be alone in her heart. It is impossible not to find out after getting along for a long time. Minutiae cannot deceive people. She always pays special attention to the news of a certain country, a certain region, or even a certain school, and always avoids talking about herself. I don’t want to mention the past, and for a while I ran to the University City very frequently, and didn’t do anything or say anything when I arrived at Qinsi’s shop, and just wandered outside anyway.

There is always a reason behind the strange behavior, how could Qin Si not guess it, even Wan San can see the problem, let alone her.

She has a really bad temper, she is always mean, and often duplicity, obviously she can treat Josie better, she has countless opportunities to speak out, but she is too arrogant and self-restraining, feeling like crossing the river by feeling the stones in her relationship.

Now that she heard what Josie said with her own ears, she only blinked and stared blankly at the vehicles moving outside. After a long time, she whispered, "Got it..."

They were speechless all the way until they entered the Cantonese restaurant and sat at the table to eat. The two of them had nothing to say. During this period, Qin Si wanted to pick up food for Josie, but before Josie could stop her, the other party paused , as if he finally realized something, he withdrew his hand and put the vegetables into his bowl.

Josie opened her lips, but she still didn't speak.

After eating almost, Qin Si said softly: "I may not come to Jiangcheng in the future."

As soon as the actions of his subordinates stopped, Josie hesitated for a while, not knowing how to answer, and finally hummed.

She didn't ask the reason, and Qin Si didn't say anything, each of them stayed within their own boundaries, although they sat at the same table to eat, they were as far apart as the sky and the earth.

Qin Si is a rich second generation. She can live a comfortable, rich and free life without the strong support of her family. Slow progress is not enough, the huge family business needs to be inherited, and the burden of the family needs to be supported, which has to be accepted.There are not many people in the world who are willing to give up their huge wealth and live the life they want. Even if they are willing, it is unknown whether they can live that kind of life. The plump ideals collide with the skinny reality, and they should choose the most favorable one. that way.

When they walked out of the Cantonese restaurant after dinner, both of them were in a deadlock. They should talk for a while after parting.

Josie thought about it for a long time, and felt that she should say something, but she searched her brain for a long time and couldn't find a topic. She looked at the bustling streets and was about to speak when Qin Si rushed ahead again.

"I booked a flight ticket for a little bit, and I'll be leaving later."

Josie's throat was blocked for a moment.

Maybe this person had expected the final result before coming here, but he just didn't give up and wanted to try it again. He bought a round-trip ticket a long time ago, but there was still no change.

She tilted her head to look at Josie, she was extremely quiet, and it was the first time today that she looked at Josie seriously. There is enough room left.

Her lips trembled slightly, she restrained her emotions, and changed the expression on her face into a smile. She added: "See you later."

Josie hesitated to speak, but finally nodded, "See you when we have a chance."

In fact, both parties know that maybe they won't see each other again in the future, and even if they meet again, they don't know what year and month it was.

Qin Si returned to Jiangcheng and did these things, but he still didn't say some words. He not only gave an explanation to his own thoughts, but also maintained his last self-esteem. In this relationship of singing a one-man show, no one is sorry. Just out of character.

There are no assumptions in the relationship. If you can’t get together, you don’t have fate. You can’t force it, because no matter what, the other party won’t give you a chance. The assumption is just deceiving yourself.

Before leaving, Josie sent her to the car. She didn't plan to drive her to the airport. At this time, she couldn't be polite or anything. Now that she has made a decision, she should be decisive and not leave any tenderness behind. beautiful and unnecessary actions.

The night wind was strong, Qin Si didn't wear much, so he subconsciously gathered his clothes.

Josie lowered her head slightly, almost retracting her chin completely into the scarf, she didn't look at her more, and tried not to show any other emotions.

They stood side by side on the side of the road, with a certain distance between them, not too close. This is a corner intersection, and horns will sound from time to time, and shadows speeding past continuously.

The dim street lamp lights cast from above, passed through the branches of the trees above, and fell to the ground, forming a mottled and messy shadow, making this place small and quiet, depressing and dull.

The car is coming.

Before getting into the car, Qin Si stopped suddenly, feeling a battle between heaven and man, and then turned around and hugged Josie. The movement was abrupt, but the force was very gentle. She didn't make any more intimate moves, that's all.

"It's gone," she said.

Josie still didn't respond, she didn't even raise her hand, and said softly, "Thank you."

Thanks to Qin Si for teaching her tattoos, and also expressing a clear rejection of this kind of feeling, which can be regarded as the last farewell.

The long street was brightly lit, and the road was smooth. The car drove away, driving further and further, into the darkness in the distance, turning into an invisible point.Josie stopped at the spot with emotion for a while, returned to her car, and drove in another direction with the traffic flow, and slowly disappeared.

Gradually drifting away, each side of the sky.

Josie had sent Fu Bei a message a long time ago, explaining who he was with and what he was going to do. Fu Bei didn't say much, just replied with a word of "um", and then added another sentence - go home early.

It is trust and respect, and I fully believe that Josie can handle this kind of thing by himself.

But when Josie came back home, Fu Bei still didn't behave so freely. When he saw someone coming in, he didn't come to greet him. Instead, he sat on the sofa and continued typing on the computer. There was a stack of paper and a pen on the coffee table. clean up.Fu Bei usually prepares in this way when doing work. The paper is used for drafting. Usually, several sheets of paper have been filled with writing, but today they have not touched a single stroke.

Josie was very conscious, bit her lower lip resentfully, hurried over as soon as she put down her bag, hugged Fu Bei from the side, put her chin on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I'm back—"

After walking behind this person, I finally saw the content on the computer screen. After typing for a long time, I didn't write anything, just half a page of theory.

Feeling the warm breath on his neck, Fu Bei paused, and responded in a neutral tone.

"Have you eaten yet?" Josie asked cheekily, kicked off the shoes two or three times, moved her hands around Fu Bei's waist, moved closer, and pressed to the side of Fu Bei's face, wanting to kiss or not.

Fu Bei put down the work in hand, but did not take away the computer, and replied with an unclear attitude: "Eat."

Josie knew that she was in the wrong. After all, no one would be happy about this kind of thing. She simply lowered her face, pulled Fu Bei's hand behind her waist, and squeezed into his arms, "What are you doing at school today? So, meeting or class, and how are the few students you just brought in?"

She's pretty good at being submissive and coaxing people, but now she's as soft as anything.

Fu Bei's expression suddenly softened a lot, and he glanced at her calmly, and put the computer on the coffee table, "There is no class today and there will be no meeting. I will be back at six o'clock."

"Are you tired?" Josie asked, and turned on the air conditioner, and after a while, the warm air was blowing here.

"Not tired."

Fu Bei's hands were a little cold. When she touched them, she quickly covered them in her arms, and said with concern: "Hands are so cold, so I don't wear more clothes. I don't turn on the air conditioner when I get home, and I just sit on the sofa all the time." , Don’t you know how to cover it with a blanket?”

The words seemed very attentive, but the concern she showed was real. She has become more tempered these days, only occasionally being arrogant.Fu Bei actually liked this kind of trick, a few words would be enough, he wouldn't really put on airs, looked down, and asked, "Where did you go for dinner?"

"Li Ji, do you know the Cantonese restaurant near the company?" Josie answered truthfully.

"Ah."

"It's closer over there."

Fu Bei asked, "Where did you choose?"

Josie nodded.

I thought Fu Bei was going to say something again, but this person just said lightly: "I like Cantonese food so much, I eat this every time."

Josie's taste is relatively light, and her favorite is Cantonese cuisine. She has loved it since she was a child, and even when she is dating Fu Bei, she often chooses Cantonese cuisine.Feeling that Fu Bei was no longer carrying it, she smiled and kissed Fu Bei's chin, "Then next time we go to eat something else, we can go to the University City."

Fu Bei didn't express it, but he was very satisfied with this proactive kiss. She is a person with strong thoughts, and she usually provokes it first. Sometimes Josie still can't let go, but this time it is different.

After capturing the change in this person, Josie immediately understood, leaned over and kissed again, first on the chin, then turned to the side of the face, the pinnae, and slowly went down...

Fu Bei's breathing was obviously stagnant, but he didn't do anything, didn't respond or stop, and clasped the back of Josie's waist empty, without really touching it.Josie boldly straddled her lap and asked obediently, "Are you angry?"

After saying that, he raised his head and kissed the corner of Fu Bei's lips, wrapping his arms around his shoulders.

Fu Bei looked straight at her, "No."

"It's no wonder there isn't one." Josie said, "Obviously there is, and he looks unhappy."

When he said this, he deliberately used a coquettish tone to please the other party, and he did not hesitate in his actions. If he did this, even if Fu Bei was angry, it would disappear, not to mention Josie's next move.

Fu Bei gradually moved, and his expression changed. He pinched Josie's chin, forcing her to face him. The two looked at each other, and an ambiguous affection slowly flowed in the air, mixed with the hot air from the air conditioner, endlessly infecting her. wrapped.

"Don't be angry..." Josie said slowly, grabbed Fu Bei's hand, and placed it next to Zhang He's red lips...

……

The white paper on the coffee table was scattered all over the place, and the pen rolled all over the place.

The two returned to the room from the living room, but still did not turn on the lights. From the window, they could see the splendid street in the distance. The lights of Wanjia became brighter and brighter in the dark night. Scene, and no one will notice.

Josie propped her hands on the closet, and raised her slender neck. She couldn't see what was in front of her eyes, so she just clenched her hands tightly, trying to grab something, but she couldn't. She finally closed her eyes. The eyes were closed, and there was only the other party's unsteady breathing next to his ears.

"Josh—" Fu Bei called softly.

After a while, she responded.

Fu Bei sealed her lips and integrated all his words into this intimacy.
