MTL - Long Time Loved Friend-Chapter 16 write a love letter
Nan Qiao had just come out of the art gallery when she received Zhu Qingmeng's call. Even though today is a working day, the museum is crowded with people. After saying sorry to the people in the company, Nan Qiao walked to a quiet corner and connected the phone.
"Are you free? Let's meet at st tonight."
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhu Qingmeng stated the purpose straight to the point.
Hearing her bad tone, Nan Qiao can roughly guess the reason, and it must have something to do with Jiang Yuan'an.
The two probably had a conflict again, otherwise Zhu Qingmeng wouldn't have asked her to meet at the bar.
"Is your name Shang Yunzhi?" Nan Qiao asked hesitantly. Since that time when they broke up downstairs in the community, the two of them haven't been in touch for the past few days.
There was a pause on the receiver side, and then said: "No."
"Oh," Nan Qiao pursed her lips, glanced at the woman standing beside the stone lion outside the art museum and asked again, "Why didn't you call me?"
Although in the eyes of others, she and Zhu Qingmeng had a relatively good relationship, in fact, their personal relationship was not very good.
The reason why Zhu Qingmeng asked her out was because Jiang Yuan'an had a good relationship with Yun Zhi. She didn't want to rob friends with Jiang Yuan'an, and she didn't want Jiang Yuan'an to have no one to turn to when she was angry.
All she cares about is Jiang Yuan'an, and she is not interested in other people's lives.
Nan Qiao only understood this truth when Jiang Yuan'an broke up with her. At that time, she was in a relationship and wanted to chat with Zhu Qingmeng, but she was deleted as a friend.
No matter who it is, Zhu Qingmeng only stands by Jiang Yuan'an.
"I'll talk about you tonight." Zhu Qingmeng said in a calm voice, and hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
This made Nan Qiao curious, what can't be said on the phone.
"Have you finished answering the phone?" The woman who was still taking pictures in front of the stone lion just now had come to Nan Qiao's side and asked softly when she saw her put down her phone.
Nan Qiao regained consciousness, nodded with a smile: "I've been waiting for a long time."
"No," Qin Rou smiled, pointed to the mobile phone in her hand, and asked again, "Who are you planning to send all the photos you just took?"
After being reminded by her, Nan Qiao looked down at the phone, which was the interface for sending messages.
"Ok."
"Friends?"
"Ok."
Seeing her hesitation, Qin Rou bit her lip, didn't continue to ask questions, bent over and rubbed her legs, and whispered: "Legs seem to hurt a bit."
Upon hearing this, Nan Qiao's previous thoughts flew back, and he frowned and said, "Look, I said not to come to such a far place, your legs are not good, what should you do if you have the root cause of the disease."
"I'm fine," Qin Rou pursed her lips and smiled, blushing because of her concern, and lowered her head to apologize, "I'm sorry, I've wasted so much of your time, and last time I caused you to miss an appointment with your friend."
"I accidentally bumped into you. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have been lying in the hospital bed for so many days and missed the dance competition. I should be the one who should be sorry."
When going down the steps, Nan Qiao helped her up.
"My qualifications are not good, so I won't be selected if I participate." Qin Rou blushed even more, and whispered, "By the way, did your friend blame you for missing an appointment last time? Do you want to meet? Let me explain for you. A moment? She will definitely understand."
Nan Qiao frowned slightly, skipped the subject, and said, "I'll take you back to have a good rest."
Seeing this, Qin Rou didn't ask any more questions, but she also had a rough guess in her heart.
Nodding along with her words.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the nightlife in St Bar has just started. The rock sound in the bar is loud and harsh, and the gorgeous lights hit the center of the dance floor.
Nan Qiao entered the bar, passed one person after another, and stopped in front of the bar, behind Zhu Qingmeng.
When the bartender put the freshly mixed wine in Zhu Qingmeng's hand, Nan Qiao snatched it away in the next second.
Zhu Qingmeng put away the phone she was looking at and glanced at her.
Nan Qiao sat down on the high chair, took a sip of his wine, praised the bartender, and then looked at Zhu Qingmeng.
"Are you really angry this time? Are you afraid that Jiang Yuan'an will be angry when you come here?"
Zhu Qingmeng glanced at her and ordered another glass of wine from the bartender.
"I met someone today."
"Well, and then." Nan Qiao held his chin, waiting for her next words.
"A very beautiful woman, talking and laughing with Yunzhi." Zhu Qingmeng said lightly.
Nan Qiao, who was originally lazy, slowly sat up straight when he heard this, his eyes became serious, but he pretended not to care and said, "Isn't this normal?"
Zhu Qingmeng was not in a hurry to speak, nor did she look at her.
The atmosphere between the two was like waiting for the other to speak first.
In the end, Nan Qiao was defeated.
"Who?"
Yunzhi's good friends, they basically know each other, Zhu Qingmeng would say this, this person must be special.
Zhu Qingmeng didn't speak.
At this time, the bartender gave her a glass of wine, which was filled with mist, and the blue liquid was hidden under the mist.
She thought of the quiet and restrained girl in high school.
Also like this, hiding all her emotions under her quiet and restrained appearance.
Including her likes.
In her third year of high school, she had just transferred to Yunzhong.
In her previous experience, she had always been the first in her grade, but she lost to Yu Mingxia in the first monthly exam after transferring to another school.
She is not very competitive, but it is rare for her to meet someone who surpasses her, so she inevitably pays more attention.
After the monthly exam, she chose her own seat based on her grades. She and Yu Mingxia settled on the same row, and they became tablemates.
Yu Mingxia is quiet and introverted, she can't hear her say a few words a day, the only thing that makes her speak is the teacher's questioning during class, occasionally when Yu Chuxue comes to her or a classmate asks a question, she will say a few words .
During the breaks when others were fighting, Yu Mingxia basically never left his seat, and there were always textbooks and drawing books in front of him. In a school that only needed to wear school uniforms on Mondays and Tuesdays, only Yu Mingxia would seriously wear the school uniform and wear the school badge every day.
He is an obedient student recognized by all teachers and classmates.
During the three days at the same table with her, the two of them had no communication other than the sentence on the first day.
On the fourth day, she was bored, maybe because she was in a good mood, she saw Yu Mingxia drawing, and asked her, "Have you ever learned how to draw? It's very beautiful."
She seldom compliments others, but Yu Mingxia's paintings are indeed pretty good.
Yu Mingxia hesitated to speak, and finally just pursed his lips and shook his head.
"Self-taught? Your self-taught is as good as others who have studied for several years."
I was in a good mood that day, Zhu Qingmeng praised me a few more words.
But her initiative did not make Yu Mingxia open his heart. The other party was silent for a while, and finally only said thank you.
Yu Mingxia spoke very little, but he was not surprising.
When some students ask her questions, she will also answer them. Although they are all concise and concise, the step-by-step answers are very simple.
Her initiative that day caused a change between them.
Those who were silent during class in the past would take the initiative to talk to her after that.
Although they are all related to Jiang Yuan'an.
At that time, Jiang Yuan'an often came to her, and when she returned to the classroom, she often met Yu Mingxia's calm eyes.
"Are you friends?"
This was the first sentence Yu Mingxia took the initiative to say to her.
The number of times was too many, Zhu Qingmeng noticed the abnormality, and even worried about her as a rival in love for two days.
What broke her worries was an afternoon.
After two weeks of rain, the sky finally cleared up, and Class 7 resumed physical education.
Zhu Qingmeng chose this seat at the beginning because it happened to be able to see the corner under the tree in the playground.
That was Jiang Yuanan's favorite place to stay.
That afternoon, Jiang Yuan'an and the others rested under the tree as usual after exercising.
And they are taking self-study classes.
Oddly enough, Yu Mingxia didn't study or draw, but tilted his head and looked out the window.
Zhu Qingmeng thought she was looking at Jiang Yuanan, and was about to ask, the next moment Jiang Yuanan left under the tree.
But Yu Mingxia was still looking out the window.
The only person staying under the tree at this time is Yun Zhi.
Zhu Qingmeng thought about it carefully before she realized that the few times Yu Mingxia took the initiative to talk to her was probably not because of Jiang Yuan'an, but because of Yun Zhi who came with Jiang Yuan'an.
"Are you watching Yunzhi?" Zhu Qingmeng asked her to make sure.
Yu Mingxia looked away because of her words, and remained silent.
After another two weeks, Zhu Qingmeng once again caught Yu Mingxia peeking at Yunzhi.
She was surprised that a quiet and introverted obedient student would also have a crush on someone.
"You are looking at Yunzhi." This time it was no longer a question, but a statement.
Yu Mingxia didn't refute or remain silent, but instead asked her: "Do you have a good relationship with her?"
"I don't have a good relationship with her, but I have a good relationship with the girl next to her." Zhu Qingmeng, who always prides herself on being a quiet talker, never thought that one day she would become a chatterbox in front of others.
"I like her, and she will be my girlfriend in the future."
The taciturn Yu Mingxia is undoubtedly the best person to confide in, even though she never thought that the first time she heard her say such a thing would be someone who just sat at the same table as her.
Yu Mingxia seemed surprised by her frankness, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Congratulations."
"I didn't expect you to be the first person to congratulate me." Zhu Qingmeng smiled, thinking about her again, "Since you like her, why don't you confess your love?"
Yu Mingxia paused, and the tip of the pen in her hand drew long marks on the drawing book. She asked, "How do you confess?"
"My plan is to write a love letter. You have a very good literary talent, why don't you write a love letter too?"
Although Yu Mingxia didn't comment on the method she proposed, he handed her a notebook on his own initiative.
It's the notes of the two classes she left behind when she asked for leave.
She thought, this should be Yu Mingxia's way of expressing his gratitude.
The fog dissipated, and the memory stopped. Zhu Qingmeng took a sip of wine.
"That person likes Yunzhi very much."
Nan Qiao's expression froze, and then she retorted with a smile: "How is it possible, Yun Zhi has never been ambiguous with people who like him."
Zhu Qingmeng glanced at her.
Nan Qiao pursed her lips and asked, "Who?"
Zhu Qingmeng drank the wine in the glass and sneered: "I told you this is not for you to drive away the people around her."
"I just want to tell you, don't delay her any longer." Zhu Qingmeng paused, remembering the past, and wanted to say something, but she didn't want Nan Qiao to know that it was Yu Mingxia, so she stopped talking.
The music in her ears was messy, but she could hear Zhu Qingmeng's words very clearly. It was a reminder and a warning.
"Don't you regret it?" Nan Qiao raised her eyes to look at her, "Break up with each other a lot every day, if you really break up, have you ever thought that maybe you don't even have to be friends?"
Zhu Qingmeng's face became colder, especially when she heard the words "true breakup", she sneered: "I'm different from you, and I won't resonate with you."
"Since you want to be friends, then be friends, are you okay? Yun Zhi knows everything you do, but I just don't want to care about it." Zhu Qingmeng's words became more straightforward.
"Aren't we just friends now?" Nan Qiao avoided her gaze, avoiding the serious and the trivial.
Zhu Qingmeng does not want to say more.
From the past to the present, she has never wanted to stand on Nan Qiao's side.
According to Jiang Yuan'an's words, respect Yun Zhi's wishes.
He didn't mention Yu Mingxia to Yun Zhi, because Yun Zhi was disgusted, and also because of Yu Mingxia's request.
Because of her recklessness in the basketball court, Yu Mingxia was hurt.
The girl who never wastes her study time, slept a whole night of self-study that day.
His eyes were red when he spoke to her.
She couldn't explain to her that Yun Zhi didn't hate her, she could only apologize for her recklessness.
In return, she asked her not to mention her name in front of Yunzhi again.
To this day, Zhu Qingmeng still doesn't understand why Yun Zhi dislikes someone for no reason.
Thinking of the past, Zhu Qingmeng's mood also became bad.
She and Yu Mingxia had only been at the same table for a short month. After that incident happened, they happened to change seats. Apart from the necessary activities in the class, the two of them had no other communication, and they returned to their original state.
Over time, contact was lost.
After graduation, there was no contact.
But she always felt ashamed of Yu Mingxia in her heart.
At the age of seventeen, how strong his self-esteem should be, and how desperate he should be when he is crushed.
Zhu Qingmeng got up and did not intend to stay here any longer.
Before leaving, he glanced at Nan Qiao who was silent with drooping eyes, thinking of Yu Mingxia and Nan Qiao's hypothetical breakup.
"Nan Qiao."
"Ok."
"Are you inferior? Find a suitable person and try, you really are not worthy of Yun Zhi." After Zhu Qingmeng finished speaking, she left regardless of Nan Qiao's reaction.
Nan Qiao paused, and the string in her heart suddenly broke. At this time, the lights in the bar flashed in front of her eyes, and there was a burst of light. The cloth that seemed to be a covering was suddenly lifted, revealing the ugly marks all over its body.
