Chapter 140

“Since my mother wants me to go back to celebrate the New Year, it should be no problem.” Qiu Yurou said after getting into the car.

Xu Ziran nodded.

She sent an email to Luo Feifei in the morning, and although the other party’s response was not clear, she no longer felt that urgent as before, so although she didn’t know what happened, Xu Ziran at least knew that she could feel at ease now.

Having said that, it’s probably worth paying attention. Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou discussed it for a long time, and finally decided that Xu Ziran would stay at Qiu Yurou’s house for the time being after returning, so that no matter what happened, there would be someone to take care of.

However, this decision led to a problem, that is, it is difficult to say with Xu’s mother.

Logically speaking, since Xu Ziran already knew that her mother knew about her relationship with Qiu Yurou, she should avoid suspicion in front of her mother, but now the situation is special and it is not the time to think about it, Xu Ziran didn’t think about it for long. I decided to put this issue aside for now.

If her mother doesn’t agree, if she doesn’t take a tough attitude, she might not end well – it’s not that she is not filial, but it’s just based on human nature.

The two drove back this time, so they brought the two guns that Luo Feifei gave them at the time, but when they set off against the rising sun, Xu Ziran still felt sleepy and yawned several times. .

Last night, Qiu Yurou was directly asleep, but because she was not restrained by the system, she talked to the future “Qiu Yurou” for a long time, and she didn’t get a good night’s sleep.

If people can’t sleep well all the time, they’re used to it. Sometimes they don’t sleep well, but they’re like the sequelae of drug addiction, empty and lazy.

Seeing that Xu Ziran was sleepy, Qiu Yurou said that she would just drive first. Xu Ziran rested in the passenger seat and unknowingly fell asleep. In a daze, she heard someone calling her, opened her eyes, and saw Qiu Yurou leaning over to look at her, Touch her forehead with her hand.

The other party’s long hair reached to the waist, spread out like satin, and the makeup was exquisite and flawless, which made Xu Ziran look a little dazed for a while.

For some reason, she subconsciously felt that Qiu Yurou should not be like this.

But when Qiu Yurou spoke in a low voice, Xu Ziran threw this wrong feeling into the clouds.

The other party whispered: “Are you sick? Why do you fall asleep so deeply?”

“I didn’t rest well yesterday.” Xu Ziran said, his voice a little hoarse.

Qiu Yurou frowned slightly: “I have a low-grade fever, so do I still have to catch a plane?”

Xu Ziran smiled: “No, after all, the plane isn’t waiting for me.”

After saying this, she pulled Qiu Yurou’s sleeve and said, “Is there any medicine? I’ll take one and sleep on the plane, it should be fine.”

Qiu Yurou glanced at her: “You used to take medicine when you were a little sick, but now I’m afraid there is no medicine that is as powerful as it is for you.”

Xu Ziran shrugged in annoyance.

Qiu Yurou snorted.

Xu Ziran stretched and looked out the window.

Her consciousness froze.

Because it was clearly a thick fog outside.

However, her body happily said: “I’ve already arrived at the airport, then I’ll get off the bus. See you next time in half a month.”

She was about to open the door and get out of the car, but Qiu Yurou, who was in the driver’s seat behind her, grabbed her arm and took out a box of medicine from her bag.

“Just in case, if it’s really uncomfortable, just eat this.”

Xu Ziran immediately smiled and said, “Look at you, it’s really just a need. If I don’t have you, what should I do?”

Having said that, when he turned back, he hit the glass head-on.

Xu Ziran suddenly woke up.

She felt that she was in a car that was moving at a constant speed, and when she looked at the glass that was covered with white mist in front of her, she realized that she had fallen asleep, and then her head hit the glass.

And just now, it turned out to be a dream.

This dream soon became blurred like a mirror, but Xu Ziran remembered that it was about Qiu Yurou.

When he woke up this time, he really felt like he was in a different world. Xu Ziran looked around in a dazed way. Seeing that he was still on the highway, he looked at the time again.

Only an hour and a half had passed.

Qiu Yurou heard the movement and said, “Awake? Do you want to continue sleeping? There seems to be a pillow behind you, do you want to take it?”

Xu Ziran shook her head, her spirit was a little sluggish, but she couldn’t sleep.

“Where is it? If there is a place to park, let’s change it.”

“No need.” Qiu Yurou refused without thinking. Just by hearing Xu Ziran’s voice, she knew that the other party was not resting well, but after she finished speaking, she thought that just like herself, Xu Ziran probably wouldn’t want to tire herself all the time. Then he added, “Let’s change it after lunch at noon, otherwise it will be very troublesome to change too frequently.”

Xu Ziran felt that this was reasonable and agreed.

After a short conversation, the car fell into silence, Xu Ziran thought of the dream just now, and couldn’t help but tilted his head and glanced at Qiu Yurou.

The other party was facing the sky with a serious expression, and when facing the light, Xu Ziran saw the tiny fluff on the other party’s face.

The scene from last night came to her mind—

The lights are warm, and people’s expressions are dark and unclear, not to mention that whether it is Xu Ziran or Qiu Yurou, they are used to being calm.

The air conditioner was turned on in the room, and the slowly floating airflow brought bursts of dry heat.

In the long silence, Qiu Yurou sighed: “So, I probably know the answer.”

She seemed disappointed, but at the same time, she didn’t seem to care. She put her hands in the pockets of her pajamas and tucked back into the quilt, leaving only one head.

Xu Ziran saw the silhouette of the other’s face, like an outdated picture from some old movies.

I don’t know when, those memories that were once vivid in my mind began to look like pictures in a movie.

Xu Ziran finally said, “I don’t know.”

Qiu Yurou tilted her head to look at her.

Xu Ziran let out a long breath. God knows, she just realized that she had even forgotten to breathe just now.

However, in the feeling of suffocation that came late, Xu Ziran gave a paradoxical answer: “If… if those days go on forever, who knows what will happen in the end?”

At that time, Xu Ziran said something like this.

Because no matter what Xu Ziran thought about it, he felt that this was the truth.

It is not so much that she is walking on the road of life, it is better to say that time pushes her forward in her destiny, and what will happen in between is unknowable.

If you don’t walk through it realistically, who knows what will happen next.

“Forrest Gump” said that life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get next. As Xu Ziran walked along the way, the more and more he felt that this sentence was too right.

It is true that she has chosen this path now, but who knows where the original path will lead?

But she has no choice, because she has already eaten this chocolate.

And she doesn’t want to make another choice, such an experience, once is enough.

…

When he got home, it was almost dark, and Xu Ziran didn’t call to inform him before, so he didn’t go home to report safety, but went to Qiu Yurou’s house to put his luggage first.

When Qiu Yurou went to college, Aunt Chen went home to take care of her grandson, so now Qiu Yurou’s house is empty most of the time. I didn’t expect that the light in the bedroom on the second floor was on this time. Qiu Yurou was obviously a little surprised and said, “I Mom is at home at this point?”

Xu Ziran felt that there was nothing to be surprised about, Shen Feiyao was also a human being, and it was normal to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

As a result, when they reached the entrance, Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou were speechless in surprise.

On the rack was a pair of oversized black leather shoes that apparently belonged to a man.

Xu Ziran and Qiu Yurou looked at each other for a long time, and Xu Ziran said, “Yes, after all, your mother is also an ordinary person.”

Qiu Yurou didn’t understand for a while, but it took a long time to understand, even she couldn’t help rolling her eyes.

After expressing her speechlessness with white eyes, Qiu Yurou said quite heavily: “It seems to be my dad.”

This had a bigger impact on Xu Ziran than the speculation that Shen Feiyao had a little lover, but before she could show her surprise, someone came out of the room.

Xu Ziran looked up.

At first glance, the man who came over was an ordinary man in his fifties. The rest of the hair on the top of his slightly protruded head was mostly white, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but his eyebrows were very dense. , wearing a gray old-fashioned coat, looking closely… still an ordinary man in his fifties.

Compared with the photos Xu Ziran found on the Internet, the other party looked more relaxed, probably because the photos that could be taken on the Internet were all from formal occasions, so it was inevitable that they were more restrained.

The other party came over, of course Xu Ziran couldn’t wait for the other party to speak first, and immediately said: “Qiu… Uncle Qiu is good, I’m Qiu Yurou’s friend. I’m really sorry to disturb you so late.”

She originally wanted to be called Dean Qiu, but after thinking about it, she chose a more intimate name.

Qiu Mingtai nodded to Xu Ziran, and said slowly, “I heard the sound of parking outside and someone opened the door, so I thought it might be you back.”

Only then did Qiu Yurou call out, “Dad.”

After calling, she hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Why are you back?”

Qiu Mingtai said: “I’ve been very free recently, so I’ll come back and have a look.”

Qiu Yurou didn’t ask any further, just continued to carry the luggage.

Xu Ziran quickly found out that Qiu Yurou’s father was really unfamiliar, and the two had no other conversations after the first words. Qiu Mingtai wanted to help Qiu Yurou carry the luggage, but was indifferently rejected by Qiu Yurou, or Xu Ziran reacted and talked to the other party.

“Uncle, isn’t Aunt Shen coming back?”

“It seems so.”

“It seems so” what is the answer? Are these two really married?

Xu Ziran bit the bullet and continued to speak—

“I may be interrupted for a while, I don’t know if it will be interrupted.”

“That depends on your usual living habits.”

“Well… my living habits are pretty good.”

“It’s hard to say, young people today have all kinds of problems.”

Xu Ziran: “…this…this is true, but it depends on the person.”

Xu Ziran was sure that this person couldn’t chat.

The level of her inability to chat is even higher than that of Qiu Yurou in high school, and she surpasses everyone around her. Even when Tian Jiaqi is deliberately annoying, she can’t be so natural.

However, it is also possible that the other party has always been in a high position and aloof status. In the past ten or twenty years, no one has contradicted him, and he really does not need to speak to please him.

If it wasn’t for Xu Ziran’s inner complaints, the two of them chatted fairly harmoniously. By the time they packed up, Xu Ziran had already figured out Qiu Mingtai’s character.

The other party is not a person with a deep personality. If he speaks, there are still some researchers who are simple and straightforward, so he seems to be a little ruthless.

But in fact, it is also very human. When they were carrying their luggage, they poured hot water and wet towels for them, and finally asked, “Are you tired?”

Because of the other party’s response to other matters, this sentence seems to be more sincere, so instead it shows a kind of sincerity, which makes people unconsciously have a good impression.

By the time Xu Ziran and the others had moved everything, Qiu Mingtai had disappeared, and Qiu Yurou said that the other party had probably gone back to the room to read.

It’s really a matter of brushing off the clothes, hiding the merit and fame.

– This is probably the charm of such a person.

Thinking so, Xu Ziran heard Qiu Yurou say, “Strange, why is my dad coming back?”

Xu Ziran recalled that, according to Qiu Yurou’s statement, her father hadn’t gone home for the New Year at least ten years.

In this way, it seems rather strange to go home for the New Year.

Xu Ziran thought for a while and said, “Could it be related to the current situation?”

Since there are no other signs, they can only agree with this point of view, Qiu Yurou nodded, and the two of them stopped entangled in this, and focused their attention on the real thing—

“So, I forgot… So your room is a single bed…”

Looking back at this time, Xu Ziran realized that most of the time, they spent the time together in their own homes.

This is a ready-made meal that Xu Ziran’s family can eat, and it is more popular.

And Qiu Yurou’s room had not been seen for a long time.

The furnishings inside have changed a lot. The books on the original bookshelf have been changed, the sheets and curtains have also changed colors, but the bed has not changed, it is the same as before.

And I didn’t find it before, but now with the comparison of other beds, it seems to be a little small.

Want to squeeze?

Just as this thought appeared in my mind, the sound of high-heeled shoes came from outside, the door was quickly knocked, and Shen Feiyao’s voice came: “Rou Rou, are you back?”

After the door was opened, Shen Feiyao with curly hair appeared at the door, with Qiu Mingtai carrying a kettle (?) behind him.

When these two people appear in the same picture, there is an obvious contrast – they don’t look like husband and wife, but more like father and daughter. The difference is not in appearance, but in temperament, the kind of temperament that belongs to two generations.

Shen Feiyao spoke to Qiu Yurou, but stared at Xu Ziran: “Bring a friend back.”

Xu Ziran resisted the twitching of the corners of her mouth and said hello.

The two were obviously old acquaintances, but Shen Feiyao showed such a fake appearance. Xu Ziran understood that this was probably Shen Feiyao trying to tell her not to show the truth that they knew each other in front of Qiu Mingtai.

Xu Ziran naturally didn’t expose it, and the two exchanged a little bit of greetings, even if they met each other, when Shen Feiyao was about to leave, he pulled Xu Ziran out and said with a smile: “Come here, auntie will take you to the room, the guest room. Clean up soon, don’t dislike it.”

When he was talking so kindly and kindly, his hand gradually tightened, pinching Xu Ziran’s wrist.

Xu Ziran felt a chill behind him for no reason, feeling that in the next few days, I’m afraid… it won’t get better…
