In the western restaurant.

"This western restaurant has just opened. I read the reviews on the Internet in advance. It is not bad. I think you will like it. You can see what you need."

As soon as she sat down, Nan Qiao talked to her, and handed her the electronic tablet for ordering food on the table.

When he came in, Yunzhi looked around and saw that all the seats were reserved.

The western restaurant is newly opened on Jinjiang Road, but its reputation has already been established elsewhere, and there are many potential customers.

From the conversation between the waiter and Nan Qiao when he entered the door, Yunzhi already understood that Nan Qiao had already reserved a seat.

"So you expected that I would definitely come with you?" Yun Zhi didn't take the menu, and didn't even look at it.

"It's not expected. If you ignore me, then I will come alone. I just made the best plan and booked two seats." Now Nan Qiao has calmed down a lot, and is no longer as aggressive as before , Even the relaxed tone was mixed with bitterness.

Yun Zhi didn't intend to have dinner with her, but just wanted to get to the point quickly.

"Then I'll just order it casually," Nan Qiao ignored her indifference, took the tablet from her face, and said with a smile, "I also ordered your favorite order in the western restaurant."

"I'm not going to eat here, just order what you like." Yun Zhi's voice was a little gentle.

Nan Qiao paused, lowered his head and asked casually: "Have you hated me to this extent?"

The soothing piano music was playing in the dining room, Nan Qiao's voice was very soft, accompanied by the music faintly, and there seemed to be a sigh at the end.

Yun Zhi didn't speak.

She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

She thought of the way Qin Rou was crying, what Qin Rou said, and Nan Qiao's ambiguity with her when she was far and near.

Although it was difficult for her to accept, she had to admit that all this told her that Nan Qiao was not what she remembered, or what she imagined.

Nan Qiao is not kind.

"Yes." Yunzhi finally spoke out.

Many times, it is difficult for people to accept that they have made a wrong choice, and they cannot face up to what they have done wrong, so they will try their best to change the answer into what they imagined.

Looking for evidence, arguing with people, going further and further in the wrong direction.

Yun Zhi claimed to be sober, but at this moment she really admitted that she was once such a person.

Prove that your feelings are not wrong, prove that Nan Qiao also likes her, and insists on going her own way.

Yunzhi's voice is neither soft nor heavy, it can even be drowned in the sound of piano music.

But Nan Qiao could clearly distinguish her voice from the piano music.

Nan Qiao didn't speak, and put the tablet on the fixed position after ordering the meal.

Then he asked her nonchalantly, "How is work?"

Yun Zhi didn't want to greet her, so he asked her directly: "What do you want to do?"

Nan Qiao was silent for a while, then looked at her, and said seriously: "I know, let's start over, shall we?"

Yun Zhi couldn't believe what he had just heard, and didn't answer her quickly.

"I know I said a lot of things that hurt you before, but there are reasons for those things, I'm sorry, I will never do this again," Nan Qiao looked at Yun Zhi sincerely in a low voice, "shall we be together? ?”

Everything is so ridiculous.

After rejecting her so many times, now tell her everything happens for a reason.

The person who was still rejecting her a month and a half ago is now asking her if it's okay to be together.

"I found out that you really can do anything to achieve your goal," Yun Zhi returned to his senses, laughing mockingly, "So you sent flowers to make her break up with me, didn't you? It's the same now, after talking so much, let me go back to Was it when you were allowed to refuse before?"

"Zhizhi, I didn't want to reject you. I'm sorry. I really had a reason at that time. I didn't want to treat you like this on purpose. Break up with her, please, don't treat me like this." Nan Qiao's voice was aggrieved, and her eyes were red as she spoke up.

In Yunzhi's memory, Nan Qiao seemed to seldom cry, and things with red eyes were rare.

She rolled her eyes, the phrase "Don't do this to me" circling in her mind.

What I remembered was another face.

—Can you not alienate me.

At that time she felt that she was a heinous sinner.

Nan Qiao looked at Yun Zhi. She hadn't heard an answer for a long time, but seeing that she was absent-minded, as if she was thinking about other things, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly and called her: "Zhizhi..."

Yun Zhi came back to his senses, instead of answering her immediately, he saw the mobile phone with the screen on.

"It's all over, I don't want to worry about the past with you anymore, I am very happy now, and I hope you are too."

When thinking of Yu Mingxia, Yun Zhi's mood suddenly calmed down, and the grievance and anger that had been surging before were also calmed down.

While answering the words, he turned on the phone.

Surprised to find that the person who sent the message was exactly the person she had just thought of.

It's just that the above news made her a little embarrassed.

If there is no accident, the western restaurant Yu Mingxia mentioned is exactly the western restaurant where she is now.

After struggling for a long time, Yunzhi replied the message.

Now she just wanted to deal with Nan Qiao's matter quickly, and didn't want to cause Yu Mingxia any more trouble because of this matter.

Nan Qiao didn't speak any more, just looked at her quietly.

See her joy and surprise when she received the message, see her tenderness when she replied to the message, and see her reluctance after replying to the message.

Having been friends for many years, she is familiar with Yunzhi's every move.

All of this used to be Yun Zhi's facial expressions when facing her.

She will also confess to the person she likes, act like a baby, and blatantly show preference.

Nan Qiao could clearly imagine what Yun Zhi would do to Yu Mingxia.

Thinking of this, all of Nan Qiao's previous gentleness dissipated. She clenched her fists tightly, pressing her nails against her palm, feeling the slightest pain.

She spoke with difficulty: "Zhizhi, let's start over, okay, don't like others, okay?"

After Yun Zhi replied the message, he put the phone aside, and faced Nan Qiao with a calm mind.

"What do you care about? Since we have the same goal, it doesn't matter who leaves first? Now I don't like you, you don't like me, and they don't communicate with each other. This is the best ending."

When she heard the words "I don't like you" frankly, Nan Qiao fully understood that Yun Zhi's feelings for her had really passed.

Be open when you love, and be open when you are not in love.

Yunzhi seems to be like this, he is brave and frank whether he likes it or not.

She was the one who kept hiding and tucked away, not daring to advance or retreat.

"But I like you, from the first year of high school to now." Nan Qiao's eyes were slightly hot, but she really liked Yun Zhi.

She also wants to be with her, and wants to be as frank as her.

But…

This was the first time Yunzhi heard Nan Qiao's confession.

Every time Yun Zhi forced Nan Qiao, he wanted her to admit it when she was angry and jealous, even if it was just a slip of the tongue.

Yun Zhi had expected it.

But when this moment really came, Yun Zhi didn't feel any fluctuation, neither surprise nor happiness.

Only then did she realize that those youthful likings had long since passed.

Maybe it was when she ran into Nan Qiao and Qin Rou, maybe it was two years ago, or maybe it was during these years of long waiting.

Those likes have already been smoothed out.

So now Nan Qiao's confession has no meaning to her.

It's all over between them.

After a long time, when Nan Qiao thought Yun Zhi would think of them many years ago, she heard Yun Zhi's gentle voice:

"Although I don't know what happened to you in just half a month, it's all over for me, Nan Qiao, I don't like you anymore, let it pass."

Yun Zhi's voice was very soft, as if trying to comfort her.

Nan Qiao only felt as if his throat was being choked.

All she can bet on is that they have known each other for so many years, that Yunzhi likes her, and that she is indecisive.

But she forgot that Yunzhi's indecision in dealing with feelings is because she likes it, but when she doesn't like it, everything will become straightforward.

In the future, her tenderness, her preference, and her sharing and telling when she is happy will all be to another person.

Nan Qiao was so sad that she could only repeat over and over again: "I don't believe it, you are lying to me again, aren't you?"

Yun Zhi sighed, she never thought that things would develop like this.

"Nan Qiao, I am very grateful for your encouragement in the third year of high school. This is also the reason why I liked you before. You also know that I am more nostalgic, so I am not decisive in dealing with feelings. I always feel that I can live a day is a day, so maybe I The feelings for you have long been slowly disappearing, and it is only now that I understand."

"I can feel that you like me but you don't want to like me. When I am in pain, you are in pain at the same time. Although I don't know the reason, it doesn't matter now. A friend is a friendship. Don't do it again. We met."

Yun Zhi didn't mention Qin Rou, but when he saw Nan Qiao's panicked expression, he knew that Qin Rou was right.

Nan Qiao is becoming more and more scary.

Nan Qiao only felt that Yun Zhi's expression and tone made her even more flustered, which was what she said was relieved.

Yun Zhi felt relieved.

"It's because of Yu Mingxia, right?"

Yun Zhi said he didn't like her anymore, but when the same thing happened two years ago, Yun Zhi never said he didn't like her anymore, all the changes could only be related to Yu Mingxia.

"Nan Qiao!" Yunzhi called her name angrily, "Can't you really remember what you did to me? Why do you take it for granted that I will stand still and wait for you? Why are you so think?"

Under her questioning every sentence, Nan Qiao froze and looked at her in a daze.

"Don't contact me in the future. If you bother me again, I won't miss the old relationship. From now on, I don't have any old relationship. I have paid you back all the good things you have done to me these years."

"We will never be friends again."

Yun Zhi's every word seemed to hit Nan Qiao's heart.

She didn't believe it and didn't want to accept it, but what Yun Zhi said was the truth.

Yun Zhi picked up her handbag and got up from her seat.

"Yunzhi." Nan Qiao hurriedly pulled her back.

Can't let Yunzhi leave.

This is Nan Qiao's only thought.

"Is there any use in being coquettish now?"

The tear that hovered in the eye socket finally fell, Nan Qiao pulled her, and asked her with red eyes.

Yunzhi looked at her, as if looking at that day through her, they were lying on the lawn, looking at the clear sky, listening to the pleasant chirping of cicadas one after another.

—What if one day I make you angry and you ignore me.

—Then you can act like a baby, as long as Qiao Qiao is willing to act like a baby, I know there is nothing wrong with it.

Yun Zhi looked away, gently pushed her hand away, and paused every word: "Don't be childish, Nan Qiao."

Nan Qiao was nailed to the spot.

Yun Zhi's words lingered in her ears.

she says.

Don't be childish.

Yunzhi left, leaving her alone.

No matter in the restaurant or in the memory, she is the only one left.

—I am very grateful for your encouragement to me in the third year of high school, which is why I liked you before.

She was right and wrong.

That year she saw that Yunzhi was in a slump, often silent and in a daze, and her grades plummeted. Not only did she not want to touch the camera, but she was also afraid, afraid of her elders, and afraid that the pictures she took were worthless in the eyes of those who valued her.

If so, she had wondered shamefully, whether they would be compatible.

She couldn't fly into the sky, if Yun Zhi could fall, would they also have a chance.

Cruel and despicable thoughts appeared in her mind.

But on the other hand, her rationality told her that this cannot be done.

Yun Zhi should be superior, and she should be envied by others.

So, she handed over the camera and helped Yun Zhi up.

She is contradictory and has never been a nice person.

She should thank Yun Zhi, this is her dream.

Nan Qiao smiled bitterly.

In the end, it was nothing.

[Is there anyone in your family? 】

Yu Chuxue had just returned home before the sofa warmed up when she received a message from Yu Mingxia.

The two did not live together because of their different living habits and hobbies and other reasons.

Seeing Yu Mingxia's news, Yu Chuxue understood what she meant.

[No one, and no one next door. 】

Yu Mingxia: [Well, I'm going to your house for a while, what do I need to buy? 】

Yu Chuxue glanced at the cat lying lazily basking in the sun on the coffee table by the window, walked over, sat down on the rocking chair, the cat quickly jumped into her arms and rubbed it, and then replied:

[See what you want to eat, buy whatever you want. 】

Yu Chuxue came home after having dinner outside, and wondered if Yu Mingxia had eaten.

Yu Mingxia: [I don't want to eat. 】

Just a few words made Yu Chuxue aware of the abnormality.

Normally, Yu Mingxia would occasionally come to her house to stay for a couple of days, and she would go on a business trip in a few days. At first, Yu Chuxue only thought that Yu Mingxia was here to visit her.

Yu Chuxue: [What's wrong with you? unhappy? 】

But Yu Chuxue did not receive a reply afterwards.

In fact, Yu Chuxue did not intend to receive Yu Mingxia's reply on her mobile phone.

After all, since childhood, Yu Mingxia liked to keep things in his heart.

Even her own sister can rarely see through her thoughts.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

Yu Chuxue looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the living room, and it was less than ten minutes.

He should have been nearby when I sent her a message just now.

Yu Chuxue opened the door.

She looked slightly surprised at the shopping bag in Yu Mingxia's hand.

It's full of stuff inside.

If she read it correctly, it seemed to be full of wine.

Yu Chuxue took the shopping bag from her hand, opened it and lowered her head to look at it. She really read it right.

Surprised and asked: "Why do you buy so much wine?"

Yu Mingxia didn't seem to want to talk, after handing the things in his hand to Yu Chuxue, he entered the house.

The cat meowed at her a few times when she saw her, and even walked around her feet and rubbed her legs.

Yu Mingxia took out the cat stick from the shopping bag, knelt down and fed it to her.

"you're not feeling OK?"

Seeing that Yu Mingxia remained silent, Yu Chuxue asked aloud.

Yu Mingxia finally hummed.

"Did you quarrel with Yun Zhi?" Yu Chuxue asked.

The one who could make Yu Mingxia look like this could only be related to Yun Zhi.

"No." Yu Mingxia's voice was flat, not very interested.

There was no quarrel, Yunzhi even answered her very gently and thoughtfully.

"Anyway, it must have something to do with Yun Zhi." Yu Chuxue sighed.

Yu Mingxia had already explained to her about the two of them last time, and Yu Chuxue also knew that they were just pretending to be a couple in front of her.

Although it felt a little outrageous, Yu Chuxue was also happy for Yu Mingxia when she saw the improvement in the relationship between the two.

Yu Mingxia didn't speak any more, took out all the wine from the bag, and placed one bottle after another on the coffee table.

"You want to drink so much?" Yu Chuxue was surprised, "I'm sorry, can I take you somewhere else to play? Hanged from a tree."

Yu Mingxia didn't respond to her words, and silently opened a can of beer.

"It would be nice to be hanged from a tree."

Yu Chuxue noticed that Yu Mingxia seemed to be in a worse mood today than usual.

Worried that she was thinking too much, Yu Chuxue turned on the TV, intending to distract her.

The effect of the TV was not bad, as soon as it was turned on, Yu Mingxia's gaze stayed on the TV screen.

Yu Chuxue sat down beside her.

The two of them didn't sit on the sofa, but sat on the carpet. The coffee table was full of wine. Yu Chuxue took a bottle casually, pointed at the TV, and coaxed:

"Look, Yun Zhi is not the only one in this world, right?"

Yu Mingxia stared at the TV, and suddenly said: "It really looks like it."

"Like what?" Yu Chuxue was puzzled.

"Like Yunzhi."

"Huh? It seems a little bit," Yu Chuxue paused, trying to persuade her, "So Yun Zhi doesn't look that special, you can try to like others."

Yu Mingxia was quiet for a few seconds, then took another sip of wine and said, "That's Yunzhi's real sister."

Yu Chuxue: "?"

She shook her hands and turned off the TV directly.

Who would have thought that a program could be tuned to something related to Yunzhi.

"What's wrong with you? Tell me, my sister?" Yu Chuxue said.

"nothing."

In fact, she didn't know what was wrong.

It's just that I think too highly of myself, thinking that there is hope, only to be awakened by reality.

Seeing Yu Mingxia drinking sullenly and not wanting to say anything, Yu Chuxue also felt uncomfortable.

But it wasn't hard for her to think of the reason why Yu Mingxia didn't want to talk to her.

Don't say anything bad about Yunzhi to others.

Yu Chuxue just watched Yu Mingxia pour himself wine cup by cup.

"Drink less, it will hurt your stomach." Yu Chuxue stopped her.

"Sister, I want to drink." Yu Mingxia's voice was muffled.

Yu Mingxia knew that she must be feeling more uncomfortable now than ever before, so he couldn't persuade her any more, so he just drank with her.

"Why don't you tell her directly? Aren't you on good terms?"

"Tell her what?"

"You like her, you have liked her since junior high school, and you have been paying attention to her all these years, isn't that enough?"

Yu Mingxia laughed suddenly, but Yu Chuxue felt that her laughter was bitterer than the wine she swallowed.

"If Qu Lan told you that she liked you for many years, would you like her?"

Although she knew she was just making assumptions, Yu Chuxue was still overwhelmed by the question.

Not really.

"Look," Yu Mingxia smiled, "Moving is not like liking, it even makes people feel burdened, she will not be happy."

"Yu Mingxia, can you think about yourself more? Wouldn't it be better to try it together? What if you find out that your feelings for her for so many years are actually just obsession? Maybe you got it..."

"It's not obsession," Yu Mingxia interrupted her, lowering her eyes and whispering softly, "I like her, I like her very much, she doesn't have to do anything but just exist, even if she's not with me, I still like her."

"Sister, it's not obsession."

Yu Chuxue noticed that Yu Mingxia was a little drunk.

When I was drunk, I started talking more.

To be frank, this has never been Yu Mingxia's character, and the reason for his growth environment has caused their feelings to be equally silent.

"Well, my sister was wrong just now. I know you are not obsessed with her, but really like her." Yu Chuxue stopped persuading her, and drank wine with her silently.

Yu Mingxia began to talk more.

"I never thought she would really come. I just wanted to try. I don't want to just give up. She is the only one who can help me."

When Yu Chuxue heard her mentioning this matter, guilt welled up in her heart.

"Sorry, it is my fault."

"Although I tried, I didn't hold out hope." Yu Mingxia paused, his voice became softer, "At that time, she was a little taller than me, but she was still very small, and she didn't have the slightest bit of stage fright in front of those adults."

Yu Mingxia talked a lot after drinking, and he uttered all the things on his mind that he never shared with others on weekdays.

Paragraph after paragraph, incoherently speaking, she described Yun Zhi in her eyes.

Yu Chuxue felt sad when she heard that, so she didn't bother her anymore.

From time to time, Yu Chuxue would ask her if she felt uncomfortable.

"Are you sober or drunk now?" After a long time, Yu Chuxue asked.

"Not drunk." Yu Mingxia sat up straight and replied.

That is drunk.

Yu Mingxia, who was drunk, was much braver than usual, and he had fewer things to think about.

Maybe that's a good thing too.

"Mingxia?"

"Ok."

"Do you want to see Yun Zhi?"

"think."

Yu Chuxue took out the phone from Yu Mingxia's bag, just found Yunzhi's name in the contacts, and then realized it.

"Sit here for a while, I'll make a call."

Yu Chuxue went back to her room, found Yunzhi's name on her mobile phone, and dialed it.

The beep rang for a long time before the other side answered.

"Yunzhi?"

"Well, is it so late?"

Yu Chuxue paused, Yunzhi thought she wanted to talk about work with her?

"There is something about Ming Xia."

"Mingxia? What happened to her?"

Yu Chuxue ignored the huge change in her tone before and after, and said: "Ming Xia participated in a party tonight, and she drank too much alcohol. I heard from them that she seemed drunk and couldn't go home. Look at your side..."

"Is it convenient?" Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a rustling voice from the receiver.

"Where is she? I'll go get her."

Yu Chuxue thought about it, and reported the name of a hotel downstairs.

"I'm going right now."

Yu Chuxue looked at the phone that was hung up in front of her. She thought that she still needed to find a reason why she couldn't go, and she might even bring up the story of their relationship, but she didn't expect Yunzhi to agree.

And it sounded flustered.

Yu Chuxue came out of the room, and Yu Mingxia was leaning on the sofa lightly, as if in a daze.

"Ming Xia."

Yu Mingxia ignored her.

Looks like he should be completely drunk.

Yu Chuxue approached her and whispered to her:

"You can say whatever you want while drunk, you know?"
