Chapter 43
——I said that I want to be together forever, that is my sincere words, I am sorry to break my promise in the end, if you still want, can you let me say it again.
After Xu Qingqiao finished speaking, the air was silent for a long time, only the shallow breathing of the two remained in the silent night.
Yan Xiaomu climbed onto Xu Qingqiao's body, lying on his stomach in a large font, with his face pressed against his neck, and said softly, "I'm ready, tell me."
Xu Qingqiao held his buttocks and hugged him tightly, rubbed the back of his head, and said word by word: "I love you."
Unlike what he imagined, Yan Xiaomu blushed immediately, and unconsciously grabbed Xu Qingqiao's arm, "I thought what you were going to say..."
Only then did Xu Qingqiao say: "Don't look for anyone else, we are always together."
Yan Xiaomu took the medicine before going to bed. He should have been sleepy. The lingering aftermath of sex was still there, and his whole body was sensitive, so he couldn't fall asleep. It happened that Xu Qingqiao was not asleep either, so he put his arms around Xu Qingqiao's neck, wanting to talk, so he had no choice but to take it The medicine is much more insensitive, and in the end, I can only obediently close my eyes to brew sleepiness.
Xu Qingqiao stretched out her hands to hold the back of his neck, "Did it really hurt just now?"
"It doesn't hurt." Yan Xiaomu shook his head vigorously, his face was very hot in the dark night.
That night, Yan Xiaomu just fell asleep in Xu Qingqiao's arms.
The soreness in his body was delayed by half a beat, and the next day he finally felt the aftereffects of the first night, and woke up early in the morning with a sharp pain.
After Xu Qingqiao woke up, before she could open her eyes, she heard soft sobbing from her side.
Yan Xiaomu huddled beside her, crying so hard that the corners of her eyes were red, and her eyelashes were sticking to her eyelids in wet clumps.
Partly because of the pain, partly because of Yan Xiaomu's current sensitivity.
Xu Qingqiao just moved his arm, and the crying stopped abruptly. He opened his eyes, and saw Yan Xiaomu lying beside him motionless. With his eyes closed, he seemed to be asleep. His face was full of tears and was very wet. His eyelashes betrayed him.
He stretched out his hand to grab the man into his arms, and the man rubbed his eyes as if he had just woken up, his eyes were unbelievably red, and he pretended to say, "You're awake, I'm not awake yet."
Xu Qingqiao raised her hand to rub his eyelids, "The eyes are so red."
Yan Xiaomu dodged his eyes and spoke with a nasal voice: "My eyes were red when I woke up..."
Xu Qingqiao wiped the sweat off his forehead with her palm, and asked him, "Why are you crying?"
Only then did Yan Xiaomu realize that his secret crying had been discovered, blushing and honestly said that he was in pain, Xu Qingqiao didn't say anything, hugged him in his arms, and began to massage him through the fabric of his clothes.
Yan Xiaomu huddled in her arms, faltering and saying, I lied to you yesterday, so I don't like others.
It was late yesterday, and the two of them didn't wake up until noon. When they had lunch at the hotel, Yan Xiaomu was obviously more energetic than yesterday, and he was able to eat obediently by himself.
The food was also more delicious than yesterday, and she smiled sweetly at Xu Qingqiao from time to time.
It seems that Xu Qingqiao's confession last night was not in vain.
After the meal, Xu Qingqiao wanted to send Yan Xiaomu back to City C according to the original plan. When packing up his own things, he also helped Yan Xiaomu clean up, including the daily necessities that Yan Xiaomu bought outside yesterday, and Yan Xiaomu washed them himself and hung them in the bathroom Dried underwear, re-stuffed the flat backpack into a bulging one.
Yan Xiaomu watched half of the TV show, only to turn around to find that Xu Qingqiao's luggage was almost finished packing, including his.
Before leaving, Xu Qingqiao filled the sippy cup that Yan Xiaomu bought yesterday with the hotel's mineral water and asked him to take it with him on the way to drink.
Yan Xiaomu hesitated in the hotel room while sipping from a sippy cup, refusing to leave.
Xu Qingqiao changed her clothes, carried her own bag and Yan Xiaomu's schoolbag together, and waited for him at the door.
Yan Xiaomu walked over slowly, lowered his head and said, "Xu Qingqiao, I want to tell you something..."
Xu Qingqiao looked at him: "Say it."
"I asked Dafu... so I always knew you were in City A..." Yan Xiaomu raised his head a little, looked at Xu Qingqiao's Adam's apple in a daze, and said after a while, "Although I didn't know where you were at the time , but I still went to City A after graduation..."
Xu Qingqiao stared at him: "So where are you?"
"It's very close to your company." Yan Xiaomu rubbed his nose with the back of his hand, and turned his gaze to the side. "Just across the street."
"What a coincidence?" Xu Qingqiao paused, gave the name of the building, and asked if he worked there.
Yan Xiaomu nodded slowly, "Yes, yes."
"Xiaomu, why did you lie?" Xu Qingqiao looked down at him, "The building hasn't started yet."
Stupid Yan Xiaomu has never been a good liar, he felt embarrassed, and lowered his head to his chest, "I, I can go to work near you."
Yan Xiaomu does work in City A, but the company's location is not too close to Xu Qingqiao's place, and it takes nearly an hour to drive. He also woke up in the morning and suddenly wanted to resign and go to a place closer to Xu Qingqiao.
Xu Qingqiao didn't criticize him for lying, but instead said: "It's good that you are in City A. I originally planned to wait for the company to stabilize before taking you over. Now it seems that I don't need to worry about going to other places."
After talking, Yan Xiaomu finally raised his head, and took the initiative to take the schoolbag from Xu Qingqiao's hand, saying that he wanted to carry it by himself.
Yan Xiaomu was carrying a bulging schoolbag, just like when he was a teenager, holding a sippy cup in his hand, taking a couple of sips from time to time, following behind Xu Qingqiao's buttocks, walking slowly Xu Qingqiao looked back at him, then trotted all the way Keep up, too good.
Although Yan Xiaomu was working in City A, there were still several days before the end of the National Day holiday, so Xu Qingqiao had to send him back to City C first.
I arrived in City C before dinner time. Lin Xiangyu still runs a noodle shop in City C, but she doesn’t live in the shop anymore. She lives in a residential building a few hundred meters away from the shop. The shop has hired someone to look after it, which is convenient. She took time off to take care of Yan Xiaoyue and Yan Xiaoyue's children.
It was not easy to find a parking space, so Xu Qingqiao drove Yan Xiaomu around the neighborhood several times but couldn't find a spot, so he had to park in the neighborhood next door.
In the car, Yan Xiaomu told Xu Qingqiao that her sister and brother-in-law's new house was bought in the neighborhood next door.
"Mom used the money she saved over the years to buy a house for my sister. She also said that she would buy me a house when I got married..." When it came to the word "marriage", Yan Xiaomu's voice became lower and lower, "I don't need her to buy a house for me. You don’t need to get married to buy a house…”
Xu Qingqiao still remembered that Yan Xiaomu's wish was to go to university and earn money to buy a house.
Yan Xiaomu lowered his arms, clenched his fists, and bluffed, "The housing prices here are not expensive. After working for a few more years, I can buy a house myself, and I can also buy one for my mother!"
Xu Qingqiao laughed silently, didn't say anything to hurt him, and rubbed the top of his head, "You don't need to buy it, I will just buy it."
Yan Xiaomu pursed his lips, and the blush on his face spread from his eyes. After a while, he whispered, "Do you want to buy a house too?"
Xu Qingqiao answered him: "Buy."
Yan Xiaomu rolled his eyes in a circle, as if he was planning something brilliant, and leaned into Xu Qingqiao's ear and said, "Then we can buy a house together, just like sister and brother-in-law."
After speaking, he took the initiative to report: "But I just started working and haven't saved a lot of money. Can we buy a house later? I am also renting a house by myself now. The rent is only 800 yuan a month, isn't it very cheap?"
The two chatted in the car for a while before getting out of the car. When they got out of the car with the fruit basket bought on the road, they happened to meet Lin Xiangyu and Yan Xiaoyue coming in from the gate of the community. Didn't notice them, it was Yan Xiaoyue who saw them first and waved at them, then Lin Xiangyu raised her head.
In the end, we went to Yan Xiaoyue's house together. Yan Xiaoyue's husband had to work overtime tonight, so Lin Xiangyu stayed a little later before going back.
Yan Xiaoyue put the children to sleep in the room before coming out to join their chat in the living room.
The fight between Xu Qingqiao and Lin Xiangyu was not very pleasant back then, but after a few years, when they sat down to make tea, they were still able to chat.
Lin Xiangyu asked Xu Qingqiao where he was employed and how his job was, and praised him for his unique vision back then, helping Yan Xiaomu choose a major that suited him well.
Yan Xiaomu sat quietly next to Xu Qingqiao, listening to Xu Qingqiao chatting with Lin Xiangyu, she was always in a good mood, as if she didn't mention the past anymore, the ugly scars of the past would be slowly covered up by time.
Until he heard Lin Xiangyu ask Xu Qingqiao: "Qingqiao, do you have a girlfriend? If not, Auntie can introduce one for you."
The wound that had been healed for two days cracked open again, Yan Xiaomu raised his arm and covered his eyes almost immediately.
Yan Xiaoyue hurriedly pulled Lin Xiangyu to tell her to stop talking, but she was still a step too late, Yan Xiaomu's body was shaking uncontrollably.
Xu Qingqiao ignored the eyes of the other two women, pulled her chair closer to Yan Xiaomu, opened her arms to embrace him, and held him tightly in her arms.
