Chapter 41
Although the two elders didn't say anything, Qi Chen still felt that they might not get married anymore.
After Pei's mother was discharged from the hospital, she didn't go back to Qi's house. Qi Chen got the news that they were going back to country M, but it was from Qi's father.
At that time, the two were having breakfast at home, Qi Chen was still struggling with what excuse to use to go out, Qi's father said: "Your Auntie Pei will return to country M the day after tomorrow, you can go see them off with me."
Qi Chen froze for a moment, "Are they going back to country m?"
Qi's father said "hmm", with his usual expression, "You can tell the students who are close to your class, if you have time, let them come and deliver it together."
Hearing about his close classmates, Qi Chen thought of Xie Lian for the first time, couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and subconsciously glanced at Qi's father.
During this period of time, he was worried that Xie Lian was in a bad mood, so he would go out after Qi's father went out every day, and then return before Qi's father returned home. There were a few times when the two of them almost entered the door behind each other.Although Qi's father didn't say anything, Qi Chen felt that he probably already knew.
After dawdling to finish the meal, when Qi's father left, Qi Chen also got up quickly, packed up the dishes and went out.
Xie Lian's previous house was being renovated, and he had been staying in the hotel during the time he returned to S City.When Qi Chen arrived, he had been up for a while.But after hearing the news that Pei's mother was going back to country M, he reacted for a long time as if he hadn't woken up before he let out a soft "oh".
Qi Chen wasn't sure what he was thinking, and asked, "Will you go?"
Xie Lian thought for a while, "I don't know."
"I really don't know." Xie Lian repeated, and suddenly looked at Qi Chen, "Qi Qi, do you think I should forgive her?"
During this time, Xie Lian heard forgiveness the most.It seemed that if he didn't agree, the balance of those people's positions would instantly tilt.
"Apology is what you deserve, but forgiveness is not what you have to do." Qi Chen said: "If you don't apologize, you must accept the truth. This is your own decision."
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, Mother Pei's disregard over the years has caused real harm to Xie Lian.And these are not something that can be taken away with a fluffy sorry.
The monitor quickly informed the class group that Pei Ruoyan was going to transfer to a foreign country, probably because of the holiday, many people chose to drop off the plane.
Qi Chen came with Qi's father. When the other students arrived, he had already finished what he had to say. Seeing that there were too many people, he simply gave way to the back.
The closer it was to board the plane, the more students came, but Xie Lian never showed up. Qi Chen thought about it, and went to a secluded place away from the crowd to make a phone call.
Xie Lian answered, but didn't speak immediately. Qi Chen was preparing to speak when he suddenly heard the same airport announcement from the opposite side as his own.
Qi Chen: "Are you at the airport?"
Xie Lian: "Yes."
Qi Chen didn't ask him why he didn't show up when he came, "Where are you? I'll go find you."
Xie Lian hung up the phone and sent him a location.Qi Chen glanced at the crowd behind him, and followed the location to find it.
I knew that the international airport was big, but it was only today that Qi Chen experienced it personally.When he found Xie Lian, the airport announcement had already started to remind him to check in.
Qi Chen stood beside him, looking for something to say, "The ticket check has started."
Xie Lian let out an "um", stared at the scrolling notice board and said nothing.
Qi Chen asked, "Really not going?"
"I'm not going." Xie Lian said, "It's considered a gift here."
Qi Chen didn't speak any more, just stood with him.After a while, the airport announcement started to remind to board the plane, and when the loop reached the second time, Xie Lian's cell phone rang.
The caller ID is a string of numbers without notes.From Xie Lian's expression, Qi Chen realized who the call was from. He took a few steps back, thinking of finding an excuse to walk away for a while, when the phone rang, and it was Qi's father calling. .
Qi Chen pressed to answer, "Dad."
"Yeah." Father Qi said, "What about you, you're going back."
"Eh..." Qi Chen glanced at the direction behind him, and took a few steps outside, "I'm with my classmates, you don't have to wait for me, I'll go back by myself later."
"Yourself?" Qi's father seemed to be asking something, but his voice stopped suddenly, "...Okay, then you should pay attention to safety on the road."
Qi Chen: "...well, good."
After hanging up the phone, Qi Chen felt a little flustered in his heart, and always felt that Qi's father's momentary pause seemed to have discovered something.Just as he was thinking, someone patted his shoulder from behind.
Xie Lian saw his frightened appearance, the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Scared you?"
Qi Chen: "...my dad's phone number."
Xie Lian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, "Uncle asked you to go back?"
Qi Chen: "I let him go first, saying that I was with my classmates and I would go back by myself later."
Xie Lian let out an "oh" and intentionally drew the ending too long, "So I'm just a classmate."
"...Don't you know what it is?" Qi Chen saw that he was in the mood to joke, so he asked directly, "How are you?"
"Yeah." Xie Lian glanced at the direction behind him, and quickly retracted his gaze, "Let's go."
The snow days that lasted for several days ended, the sun broke through the clouds and fog, and the snow began to melt.
The two were walking side by side, Xie Lian suddenly stopped and called his name softly, "Qi Qi."
Qi Chen stopped and looked back at him, "Huh?"
Xie Lian said, "Thank you."
Qi Chen: "What?"
Xie Lian didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms. Under the sunlight, the shadows of the two were close together.
Thank you for coming to me.
