After Escaping Marriage [GL] - Chapter 127
At this moment, Yu Qingtang’s mind flashed a lot of chaotic thoughts, each of which she was subconsciously worried about and didn’t want to face.
So she forcibly mixed those thoughts together, unable to extract clear thoughts.
As long as she can’t think clearly, she doesn’t have to think about it. This is a conditioned reflex she has cultivated in her long life.
After a long time, it seemed like a brief moment.
“No.” Cheng Zhanxi raised her face, the gentle and bright face came into her eyes, and the warm expression was the same as always.
Then why are you crying?
Yu Qingtang did not ask this sentence out.
She and Cheng Zhanxi pushed open the car door at the same time, and seeing each other’s figures on the opposite side, Cheng Zhanxi walked towards her and took her hand.
The book under the tree was picked up by a fair and slender hand, Cheng Zhanxi blew the dust and grass on it, took it in his hand, and held it in his arms. Yu Qingtang looked at her careful and serious movements, as if it wasn’t a book that fell on the ground, but her restless heart.
The mind slowly becomes calm.
It was windy in the yard, Yu Qingtang swept her fingertips to the side of Zhan Xi’s face, and pinned a strand of long falling hair behind her ear.
Cheng Zhanxi turned his face, looked at her and smiled lightly.
Yu Qingtang involuntarily kissed her lips on tiptoe.
Cheng Zhanxi smiled and frowned.
The two shook hands and entered the house.
Yu Qingtang sat in the courtyard all afternoon, of course not preparing dinner. Seeing the clean and tidy empty kitchen, she flashed regret and said, “I’m going to cook.”
Cheng Zhanxi put the book on the dining table, pulled over Yu Qingtang who rushed to the kitchen in a hurry, and said, “No hurry, it’s still early, I’ll be with you.”
There are meat and vegetables in the refrigerator, Yu Qingtang opened the refrigerator to get the ingredients, and Cheng Zhanxi went to wash his hands. For dinner, I made four dishes and one soup, and one person cooked two dishes. The soup was stewed by Yu Qingtang, and Cheng Zhanxi was responsible for verbal guidance.
The food is put on the table, full of color and flavor.
Cheng Zhanxi sat opposite, took the chopsticks that Yu Qingtang handed her, took a bite of the small stir-fried beef, and said sincerely, “I’m so happy, my girlfriend is so good at cooking.”
Yu Qingtang took a chopstick of dried shredded chicken and put it in her mouth, and said politely, “You’re not too bad.” After a pause, she added, “The knife work is very good.”
Cheng Zhanxi laughed loudly: “You are rude. You say a good word to one person. How can you boast more than me.”
Yu Qingtang ate another chopstick of assorted tofu, with a smile in his eyes: “Whoever agreed with you, we didn’t make an agreement.”
protocol?
Cheng Zhanxi looked startled, then lowered his head and smiled.
Yu Qingtang asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Cheng Zhanxi opened his mouth and said, “I’m thinking of you.”
Yu Qingtang: “…”
Cheng Zhanxi said, “I’m really thinking of you, why I like you so much.”
Yu Qingtang bit her lip to hide her shyness, and urged softly, “Eat quickly.”
Cheng Zhanxi put down his chopsticks, looked at her with one hand on his chin, blinked and said, “I miss you so much that I can’t eat, I just want to look at you, what should I do?”
This is a bit exaggerated.
Yu Qingtang couldn’t help laughing, and said, “The dishes are going to be cold.”
“Okay.” Cheng Zhanxi picked up the chopsticks with a smile, “Listen to your girlfriend.”
A delicious meal.
The two put the dishes in the dishwasher, pressed the wash button, and left the kitchen to wash their hands in the bathroom. Cheng Zhanxi hugged her from behind, squeezed a pump of hand sanitizer into her palm, rubbed out white foam, and then wrapped her two hands in his own, intertwining them.
Yu Qingtang looked at the lovers snuggling closely in the mirror, tilted her head and kissed Cheng Zhanxi.
The hands wrapped in white foam intertwined.
Everything about them is the same as before, as if Qi Sui’s episode did not have any impact on their lives.
Yu Qingtang didn’t ask, she was waiting and running away.
But Cheng Zhanxi can’t help but say that this matter is sooner rather than later, the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them both, and the more serious Yu Qingtang’s worries will be.
She would strangle all the unfavorable factors that threatened the two of them in her infancy. Now Yu Qingtang is her most important person, and it has nothing to do with her at the age of five, six, seven or eight.
Cold water flushes the foam from the hands.
Cheng Zhanxi said to Yu Qingtang in the mirror, “I made an appointment to meet her at nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Yu Qingtang wanted to lower her head, but Cheng Zhanxi’s gaze made her unavoidable.
What are you meeting for? What will they talk about? Will Cheng Zhanxi come back after the chat?
Cheng Zhanxi: “Are you going with me? Or wait for me at home?”
Yu Qingtang’s eyes showed confusion.
Cheng Zhanxi: “I broke up with her a few years ago. Now she is just a stranger who disturbs my life. It shouldn’t take too long to solve it. If you are willing to come with me, I will drive the car tomorrow. You go there, stay at home if you don’t want to see her, sleep in or watch two episodes of TV, and I’ll be back.”
Yu Qingtang lowered her eyes and did not answer.
Cheng Zhanxi knows her, she is just thinking, and her thinking is usually slower, looking ahead and looking back, timid.
Cheng Zhanxi turned off the faucet and said, “Let’s go out, we haven’t finished watching the drama we were chasing two days ago. Let’s make up for the ending?”
Yu Qingtang nodded.
The two of them are chasing a suspense drama recently. The actors are all online and the plot is fascinating. Yu Qingtang not only got into the pit himself, but also pulled Song Qingrou into the pit. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the plot on WeChat, and the topic could not be finished all day long. Cheng Yi and Cheng Zhanxi are both busy and don’t usually have that much time. Their relationship is getting better and better, and they are getting closer. The finale two days ago, Cheng Zhanxi didn’t have time to watch it, Yu Qingtang didn’t watch it in order to wait for her, Song Qingrou had already finished the finale, so she couldn’t bear the spoiler.
After watching the ending that night, the wonderful reversal did not disappoint. Yu Qingtang immediately sent a message to Song Qingrou: [The ending of XXX is finished]
Song Qingrou made a phone call.
Yu Qingtang sat on the head of the bed and chatted with her about the plot. Cheng Zhanxi ate a big pot of vinegar, got close to the microphone, and said, “Don’t sleep in the middle of the night, disturbing the people, mother.”
Song Qing Ju said, “Do you have any neighbors?”
Cheng Zhanxi: “…” This is really not true.
Song Qingrou said again, “Aren’t you afraid of having a neighbor?”
Cheng Zhanxi listened to the sound of the wind outside the single-family villa, and the shadows of the trees outside the bedroom window, and instantly made up many strange-shaped supernatural creatures. A burst of coolness rushed up her back, and she slammed into the quilt, hugged Yu Qingtang’s slender waist, and asked for a favor by the way.
Yu Qingtang patted her on the head.
“Auntie, don’t scare her.”
“I knew you wanted to protect her. It is a blessing that we Xixi can find a girlfriend like you in her past life.” Song Qing Ju said, “Our whole family likes you, Xixi even more, it’s nothing for us to be elders. Wish, I hope your juniors can live happily.”
Why couldn’t Yu Qingtang hear that she was comforting herself, she said with a slightly moved expression, “Auntie…”
Song Qingrou said: “Auntie don’t say more, take a good rest, and trust her.”
Yu Qingtang whispered, “I know.”
Song Qingrou hung up the phone and sighed.
Cheng Yi next to him heard it, took off his glasses and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Song Qingrou put the phone on the bedside table, rubbed the bridge of her nose, and said, “Isn’t it about my daughter? You said we went abroad to see her every two years, why didn’t we know she had an ex-girlfriend? When did you date? She didn’t tell us either.”
Cheng Yi said: “She is an adult, so she doesn’t need to report everything to her family.”
Song Qingrou: “I still don’t think it’s right. With her character, it’s impossible not to tell her family if she has someone she likes. Last year, she went to Sicheng as a teacher to chase people. Do you still remember what she was like?”
As far as Cheng Zhanxi’s peacock gene inherited from the Cheng family is concerned, he still has to show his strength. It’s good and that good to be active when you don’t communicate, and it’s unreasonable to communicate quietly.
Song Qingrou pondered: “Husband. Qi Sui, have you heard of this name?”
Cheng Yi recalled for a moment and shook his head.
Song Qingrou brought her phone over, clicked into Qi Sui’s Moments, found a photo, and said, “Do you have any impression of it looking like this?”
Cheng Yi was surprised: “Why do you have her friend?”
Song Qingrou waved her hand: “It’s not important.”
After a while, Cheng Yi took the phone and looked at Qi Sui’s face. After a long time, he narrowed his eyes and said, “I think I have seen it before.”
Song Qingrou: “When?”
Cheng Yi said: “The second year that Xixi went abroad, we went to celebrate her birthday. At that time, she came out to look for us from a friend’s place, followed by a girl.” After a pause, he said, “It has changed a lot from now. , it was Qi Liu Hai at the time, wearing a long skirt, black or what color, with her head down, she looked very introverted, she came out and left without saying hello to us.”
Song Qingrou’s eyes were subtle, and she began to be yin and yang strangely: “Yo, it’s been so long since you even remember what color clothes people wear, how did you see her face when she lowered her head, you didn’t miss it.”
Cheng Yi: “…”
Cheng Yi: “Then how did you have her friends?”
Song Qingrou: “Are you going to change the subject? Tell Cheng Dayi honestly, do you dislike me for being old and senile and like little girls?”
Cheng Yi was even more wronged than Dou E: “Who really likes little girls? If I’m gone for a while, there will be a bunch of pretty girls in your list. If you didn’t provoke her today, what happened later?”
Song Qingrou: “Even you blame me? I blame myself enough today, it’s fine if you don’t comfort me, and…”
Cheng Yi knew that he had made a mistake, and immediately said, “I was wrong.”
There was a slamming of the door on the second floor, Cheng Yuanxi raised his head in the living room on the first floor, continued typing on the laptop keyboard, shook his head and laughed.
After a while, he stopped typing on the keyboard with ten slender fingers, called up the chat window, and sent a private message to Cheng Zhanxi: [Do you want brother help? 】
Cheng Zhanxi: [? 】
Cheng Yuanxi: [I can make her never show up]
Cheng Zhanxi: [Brother, murder is a crime]
Cheng Yuanxi’s lips curled slightly, and he typed: [What are you thinking, my brother is a good citizen who obeys the law. Although my brother has no great ability, it is still possible to make a person unable to stay in the capital.】
Cheng Zhanxi: [I will talk to her tomorrow, if she insists on toasting and not eating]
Cheng Yuanxi: [Then I will come]
Cheng Zhanxi locked the screen of his phone and turned his head to look at Yu Qingtang, who was already lying down.
Yu Qingtang put his hands on his waist in a regular manner, his eyes were lightly closed, and his long eyelashes were covered, thick and black.
Her breath is even, and her acting skills of pretending to be asleep are much stronger than before.
Cheng Zhanxi turned off the light and came over to hug her.
Yu Qingtang’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she tilted her head and opened her eyes.
Cheng Zhanxi happened to be looking at her, and the two of them looked at each other, their lips were naturally close, and they kissed each other.
Received a soft and beautiful kiss.
Didn’t do it that night.
Cheng Zhanxi’s hand lightly patted Yu Qingtang’s back, and under such gentle comfort, Yu Qingtang’s eyelids became heavier and he gradually fell asleep.
Cheng Zhanxi put his forehead against the woman’s forehead and fell asleep.
…
In summer, it is early in the morning, and the morning light penetrates the thick curtains, reflecting the hazy light and shadow in the house.
Yu Qingtang closed her eyes and heard Cheng Zhanxi getting up to wash up. She opened the door and went out. After half an hour, she came back and took a shower. Having lived with Cheng Zhanxi for so long, Yu Qingtang has a basic understanding of her living habits. She likes to get up early to exercise, and sometimes take a shower after exercising, and will accompany her to sleep.
But today it’s a bit too late to go back to sleep, meet at nine o’clock and leave at eight o’clock.
At half past seven, Cheng Zhanxi made breakfast and came in to see that Yu Qingtang was still sleeping.
She sat on the edge of the bed and woke Yu Qingtang. Yu Qingtang “woke up” and hid half of her face under the quilt.
Cheng Zhanxi reached out to her forehead and said softly, “Are you uncomfortable?”
Yu Qingtang shook his head, yawned, and buried the other half of his face in it. A vague murmur came from the bed: “Sleepy.”
“Sleep for a while if I’m tired, I’m going to have breakfast?”
“Um……”
Cheng Zhanxi pulled down the quilt and placed a soft kiss on the woman’s forehead.
Cheng Zhanxi tucked the quilt for her, and walked out the door lightly.
The sound of the door closing, Yu Qingtang opened her eyes at the same time, her expression was clear, and there was no trace of sleepiness. She stared blankly at the closed door for a while, then stood up to the ceiling for a while, and closed her eyes.
Time passed minute by minute.
From the invisible to the tangible, the sound of “tick-tick-tick-” seems to be heard in the ears, chasing one step at a time. The occasional sound of footsteps in the living room made Yu Qingtang feel as if he was in a sea of fire and a mountain of knives, suffering in purgatory.
She is always used to receiving instead of giving; she is always addicted to the status quo and does not want to seek change; even if she decides to be brave once, she still subconsciously chooses to escape when a real crisis comes, and let Cheng Zhanxi choose. Her so-called bravery is like a blown bubble that bursts when touched by the sun. Inside the bubble is still the little girl who was standing still and was besieged by all the children but was indifferent.
Whether the world is black and white or color, it is the same to her.
She used to dislike the world, she only liked Cheng Zhanxi. Later, Cheng Zhanxi changed her world from black and white to color, put a bunch of flowers in her hand, then stuffed a handful of gems, built a beautiful house for her, let her see a home, and finally she Knocking on the door, he asked Yu Qingtang inside with a slight smile, “Hello, can I live here?”
Yu Qingtang let her stay.
They went to pick fresh flowers together, went to the river to tread water together, filled boxes with gems, and she took her to meet her parents and her brother, who lived next door to them in another house. They had more and more beautiful flowers, and all of them told her how beautiful the world is.
She has a horse named Dabai.
In the cake shop she used to go to, the proprietress remembered her name. Every time she went with Cheng Zhanxi, the proprietress would give them an extra small cake. The proprietress has a daughter and calls her sister, but when she first saw Cheng Zhanxi, she called her “auntie”.
Xiaoxue from the gallery is a serious professional elite, but Cheng Zhanxi said that every time she urged her to work, she was like the editor who urged her to work.
Cheng Zhanxi said that he would take her out to play after the three days of work, but the three days have not yet come, and it may never arrive.
Yu Qingtang has too many things to do and too many sights to see. She made a reservation for this life in advance, and the person she made an appointment with is now outside the door, going to an appointment with an uncertain future.
Yu Qingtang sat up with tears on her face.
Cheng Zhanxi raised his wrist to look at his watch, there were still two minutes before eight o’clock. She sighed in the bottom of her heart, stood up from the living room sofa, walked to the entrance, and bent over to change her shoes.
There was a creaking sound of the door behind him, and Yu Qingtang came out of the bedroom neatly dressed and said, “Are you going out?”
Cheng Zhanxi straightened up, not sure what she was thinking, and nodded lightly.
Yu Qingtang said calmly, “I’m with you, can you wait for me for a while?”
Cheng Zhanxi raised his eyebrows with joy, raised his voice, and said loudly, “Okay!”
“Don’t be so loud.” Yu Qingtang smiled lightly.
Cheng Zhanxi took off his shoes, sat back on the sofa, and waited for Yu Qingtang in no hurry. His mood and talent were completely different.
Yu Qingtang entered the study and closed the door of the study, Cheng Zhanxi felt a little curiosity, but it just flashed by. Yu Qingtang didn’t go for too long, he came out in a few minutes and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
The two changed their shoes and went out, held hands as soon as they came out, and walked to the garage staggeringly, as if they were just going on an outing.
People who shouldn’t have caused storms in their lives in the first place are not worthy of attention.
Yu Qingtang got into the co-pilot, but Cheng Zhanxi didn’t come up immediately. Yu Qingtang turned her head and looked back, seeing that Cheng Zhanxi had opened the trunk and seemed to be sorting something.
Cheng Zhanxi took out the diamond ring from under the cushion and put the box back. She folded her palms, held the diamond ring and put it in her trousers pocket, rubbing her fingertips against the diamond in her hand twice, her eyes were firmer than ever before.
“What did you do?” Yu Qingtang asked casually.
Cheng Zhanxi wiped his hands with the wet towel in the car, and said, “It’s nothing, I suddenly remembered a gift for Mr. He, and see if I have it.”
A trivial matter, Yu Qingtang did not worry about it. She put her hand on the pocket of the lady’s suit jacket through the fabric, traced the small outline with her fingertips, and let out a soft sigh of relief.
Cheng Zhanxi drove the car out of the garage and out of the gate of the villa, and the morning glow shrouded the top of the mountain, coating the cars driving on the winding road with a hazy glow.
Cheng Zhanxi gossips as usual: “Today is expected to end soon. Do you want to eat out at noon, or do we go to eat at home?”
“Let’s talk about it when the time comes, in case my aunt calls and asks us to go home for dinner.”
Yu Qingtang didn’t notice that she said the word home more and more naturally, but Cheng Zhanxi noticed.
“Hey.” She sighed happily.
It really doesn’t work out if you don’t get married.
Yu Qingtang saw the upward curvature of the corners of her lips on the side of her face, and the heart that had just been suspended immediately fell back into her stomach, and said with a smile, “Why are you sighing suddenly?”
Cheng Zhanxi said, “Then why do you sigh every night after having sex?”
Yu Qingtang: “???”
Can this road be driven at high speed?
Anyway, there were only the two of them in the car, and Cheng Zhanxi asked without hesitation, “Why, tell me.”
Yu Qingtang took out the majesty of the teacher and said, “Classmate Cheng, please stop in moderation.”
Cheng Zhanxi immediately shut up and was very obedient.
Yu Qingtang said solemnly again: “I have to ask at night, while I still remember.”
Cheng Zhanxi tilted his head and glanced at her quickly.
Yu Qingtang didn’t understand the meaning of her eyes.
At the first traffic light intersection after going down the mountain, Cheng Zhanxi picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Yu Qingtang.
Yu Qingtang unlocked the screen.
Cheng Zhanxi: [[You are so cute.jpg]]
Yu Qingtang: [? 】
Cheng Zhanxi: [I like it very much]
She liked that when she was just driving, she almost felt wet when she heard Yu Qingtang’s words.
Yu Qingtang is like an iceberg full of jewels. You think what you see is everything, but it’s actually just a small corner floating on the sea.
What’s even more amazing is that she floats up little by little, and every time she surprises people, looking under the water, there are still endless things that sink to the bottom of the sea.
Cheng Zhanxi: [Sister, I like you]
Yu Qingtang: [Sister likes you green too]
Cheng Zhanxi: “???”
Like her green what the hell?
Cheng Zhanxi raised his head and saw the traffic light turning green in front of him: “…”
Cheng Zhanxi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, and said, “Next time, you can divide it into two sentences and send it out, or dictate the two words without typing.”
Yu Qingtang raised her lips and smiled.
At the next traffic light, Cheng Zhanxi found that Yu Qingtang had withdrawn the message, and reposted it: [Sister also likes you]
Cheng Zhanxi: [Sister~Please come~]
Yu Qingtang learns and uses it: [[You are so showy.jpg]]
Cheng Zhanxi turned to talk to her: “sister, you are amazing.”
Can’t really drive and don’t allow her to drive a fake car? Hahaha.
But Yu Qingtang didn’t bow her head shyly, and didn’t change the subject, but instead said with a half-smile, “You know it without trying it?”
Cheng Zhanxi: “!!!”
This sister is not right today!
But so excited!
Cheng Zhanxi’s excitement continued until he arrived at the destination – a certain coffee shop. Her whole person’s mood visibly fell to the bottom, with displeased written all over her face. She went in reluctantly, took a seat by the window reluctantly, and Yu Qingtang turned to coax her softly: “It will be over soon.”
Cheng Zhanxi reluctantly sat upright, and reluctantly said “um”.
They arrived at 8:45, not too late, but definitely not too early.
Yu Qingtang was slightly jealous and said deliberately, “Aren’t you going to call her to remind her?”
Cheng Zhanxi picked up the water glass to drink water, and said indifferently, “it’s best if she doesn’t come. We’ll leave immediately when we get there, it’s a waste of my time.”
Yu Qingtang said “Oh”, noncommittal, but the corners of her lips turned up almost imperceptibly.
Cheng Zhanxi suddenly came over and kissed her on the lips.
Yu Qingtang was unprepared, and there was a large audience. The cafe was full of glass on one side. A person passing by outside the window stopped and looked at them with wide eyes.
Yu Qingtang’s hand under the table gently twisted Cheng Zhanxi’s waist, and said angrily, “Someone.”
Cheng Zhanxi didn’t care, he smiled and kissed her again.
Yu Qingtang refused to let her go, and ducked back. Cheng Zhanxi put his arms around her waist to prevent her from escaping.
The two were scoffing like no one else was around, one hiding and the other chasing, but Yu Qingtang accidentally let her kiss her face twice.
Cheng Zhanxi held Yu Qingtang’s shoulder and said, “Don’t move, I’ll wipe the lipstick off your face.”
Yu Qingtang obediently did not move.
Cheng Zhanxi looked at her face, and unexpectedly left a new lipstick on the original lip print.
Yu Qingtang said angrily, “You…”
At this moment, a female voice came from the ear: “Cheng Zhanxi.”
Cheng Zhanxi and Yu Qingtang stopped playing around, turned around together, and just “discovered” Qi Sui who came in at an unknown time.
Qi Sui was dressed in a plain long dress, and she was very pure and lovely. She put a lot of effort into her delicate makeup.
Qi Sui took a seat opposite and did not speak.
Yu Qingtang deliberately took out the lipstick from her bag and put on Cheng Zhanxi’s lip makeup. Cheng Zhanxi raised her face slightly to cooperate with her, and looked at Yu Qingtang’s face intently, without looking at Qi Sui from beginning to end.
Yu Qingtang closed the lipstick lid, lifted her bag, and said to Cheng Zhanxi, “You guys talk, I’ll go out for a while.”
Cheng Zhanxi reached into his trouser pocket and touched the diamond ring that was hot from the body temperature.
Yu Qingtang got up and walked three steps away from the table. Cheng Zhanxi was about to stop her, but Yu Qingtang suddenly stopped and turned around.
Yu Qingtang put his right hand in the pocket of his white suit, and said with a natural expression, “Dear, you have something left with me.”
A trace of real doubt flashed in Cheng Zhanxi’s eyes: “What?”
Yu Qingtang came over and held Cheng Zhanxi’s left hand.
Cheng Zhanxi looked at her posture and eyes, her mind suddenly couldn’t think, and even her breathing became lighter.
Her gaze fell on Yu Qingtang’s right hand that was hidden in her pocket, and the hand Yu Qingtang was holding was slowly taken out.
Time seemed to be pressed by the slow release button, her clenched fists were opened, and a dazzling light was reflected in Cheng Zhanxi’s eyes. Her eyes suddenly enlarged and she held her breath.
A diamond ring lay quietly in the palm of Yu Qingtang’s open right hand.
Yu Qingtang lowered her eyes and slowly put the diamond ring on the ring finger of the woman’s left hand.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Yu Qingtang: Honey, you forgot to wear the ring.
