Long Time Loved Friend - Chapter 78
“Let me explain first that I didn’t inquire about Nan Qiao on purpose, nor did I mention her in front of you on purpose.” Before Yun Zhi could speak, Jiang Yuan’an raised his hand and said solemnly.
Yun Zhi was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: “I know, tell me.”
“Isn’t there a lot of weird comments since this hot search came out? Some people talked about the game in the third year of high school.”
Maybe it was because he was talking about others behind his back, even though there was no one else around, Jiang Yuan’an involuntarily lowered his voice.
“Well, I heard about it.” Yunzhi remembered what those two colleagues said in the bathroom.
“Because you and I were not free on the day of the competition, Zhu Qingmeng went with her, remember?”
“Ok.”
“There was actually a lot of trouble at the scene that day. A contestant said that Nan Qiao copied her previous painting. That person is quite famous. You should know her name. Nan Qiao seems to have mentioned it.”
Yun Zhi was thoughtful, although she hated Nan Qiao very much now, she still found it ridiculous.
“How do you copy the painting on the spot?” Yun Zhi paused and said again, “Although I hate her very much now, this kind of statement is too outrageous.”
“It’s really outrageous, Wen Jiao, do you still remember? It’s that beautiful girl with red hair who is very good at painting.”
As soon as Jiang Yuan’an finished speaking, Yun Zhi subconsciously said, “No…”
But before he finished speaking, another voice appeared in Yun Zhi’s mind—
—I met someone in this training camp, and I seem to be losing to her again.
– who.
—Wen Jiao, she has never won a match before, she is quite annoying.
Although Nan Qiao became famous at a young age, Qiao Yan gave her more aura than her talent.
In fact, she also made mistakes in the game, met someone named Wen Jiao twice, and failed twice.
After meeting Wen Jiao in the training camp, Nan Qiao has been restless, always worried about the game.
She also met Wen Jiao after the competition, at the school gate.
At that time, Wen Jiao came to stop Nan Qiao outside the school, and even said harshly that she couldn’t find evidence this time, but that didn’t mean there would be no evidence next time. She also said that she had misjudged her and regarded her as an opponent before.
Wen Jiao talked a lot that day.
However, Yun Zhi came late and didn’t listen to all of her words, so he didn’t quite understand what the other party meant.
She had seen Nan Qiao’s strength, and she didn’t think she was inferior to Wen Jiao, so when Nan Qiao said that she couldn’t afford to lose, Yun Zhi also believed it.
A lot of things happened to her during that time, just the tense relationship at home made her too busy to take care of herself, so she didn’t take this matter to heart.
In her eyes at that time, it was impossible for Nan Qiao to do such a thing, let alone when Wen Jiao had no evidence.
This matter was left behind by her, but Wen Jiao’s red hair left a deep impression on her. At that time, she thought it was very beautiful when she looked at it from a distance, so when Jiang Yuan’an mentioned it, the picture flashed in her mind .
“It means that she copied her previous painting, but she didn’t show that painting to others and was torn up. I didn’t expect to hit the exam question of the day, but because there was no evidence, I was warned in the end, and then let it go. Got third place.”
Jiang Yuanan’s words continued.
After all, it happened nearly nine years ago, these memories have faded in Yun Zhi’s mind, and he can only piece together what happened at that time by relying on Jiang Yuan’an’s prompts.
“If I hadn’t forced Zhu Qingmeng to know what else she secretly knew, I would still be in the dark.”
“Don’t you think she is too much? She never told us about these things, and said things that were not conclusive. She said that she was spreading rumors. She also said that Nan Qiao was our friend at the time. She didn’t do it without evidence. These things need to be said.”
“I’m furious.”
Jiang Yuan’an stomped his feet angrily. The more he thought about it, the more angry he was. He reached out and stuffed all the apples left in the fruit plate into his mouth. He didn’t chew until his mouth was full of apples. His eyes were full of complaints and anger.
On the tea table was a teapot full of cold boiled tea, Yun Zhi took out a cup, and handed the full cup to Jiang Yuan’an.
“Drink a glass of water and calm down.”
“There’s one more thing, she said it too,” Jiang Yuan’an drank his saliva and said sullenly, “But I’ve seen it too.”
“what?”
Although he had already known what Nan Qiao was like before, he was still a little surprised and disgusted when he heard these things.
Maybe it’s more that I can’t accept that I have never seen her clearly.
“She said that she saw that Nan Qiao seemed to have been blackmailed by someone. A couple asked her for money.” Jiang Yuan’an said in a sullen tone.
Yun Zhi smiled suddenly when he heard the words: “How is it possible, do you think she can be blackmailed?”
Now Yun Zhi only thinks that Nan Qiao is good enough not to lie to others.
No one is as good at deceiving people as Nan Qiao.
Deceived her to waste ten years.
It made Qin Rou heartbroken.
“Who knows, I wonder if Zhu Qingmeng took Nan Qiao’s money and deliberately made her feel pitiful,” Jiang Yuan’an said angrily, and then quickly added, “Of course Zhu Qingmeng is not like that. people, I will speak angry words.”
Yun Zhi smiled lightly: “I know, don’t worry, I will definitely not tell anyone.”
“But you just said you saw it too?”
“Well, but I didn’t see them asking her for money. I saw them eating in a restaurant twice, and asked a few questions because they felt strange at the time. She hesitated, and finally said that the woman used to be in her house. Nanny.”
“Zhu Qingmeng described the two of them to me, and I remembered it. My memory is good.”
As he spoke, Jiang Yuan’an began to boast.
Yun Zhi raised his eyes and smiled lightly: “Then why didn’t you tell me then?”
Jiang Yuan’an was stunned for a moment, and explained subconsciously: “I didn’t think it was an important matter at the time. It’s not like you don’t know about my relationship with her, so I don’t want to mention her to you.”
In high school, Jiang Yuan’an liked Nian Yunzhi, and he often fought with Nan Qiao for her. He always heard people say that one of the threesomes must quit, so he often pulled her away and forbade her to only play with Nan Qiao.
Later, after Zhu Qingmeng came, Jiang Yuanan’s sticky talent was slowly replaced by Zhu Qingmeng.
“Perhaps, Zhu Qingmeng also has the same idea?” Yunzhi said.
Jiang Yuan’an blinked in a daze, hesitated and said, “It seems to be the same.”
“Did I blame her?” Jiang Yuanan just muttered in a low voice, then shook his head immediately in the next second, “It’s different.”
Yun Zhi listened quietly, and asked, “Why is it different?”
Jiang Yuan’an’s mood instantly became depressed, and he whispered: “I am like a blank sheet of paper in front of her, and I can tell her everything, but she always seems to keep a lot of things from me, maybe she thinks I am naive, and I said it was useless.”
“Sometimes I feel that she doesn’t seem to be so inseparable from me, but I am very inseparable from her and rely on her for everything. I don’t like myself like this. I am very afraid that one day she will leave me, so I always I want to test whether she loves me or not, only when I tell her to break up, will her mood fluctuate greatly, and I can feel that she needs me.”
At the end, Jiang Yuan’an sobbed softly: “Am I sick?”
“An’an, you’re not sick, you just care about her.”
Yun Zhi paused for a moment, she seemed to understand the reason why Jiang Yuan’an would be like this in the past, she had no sense of security, because of this, she used hurtful words to test again and again, and after getting the sweetness, she would do it again in the same situation next time. Emulate previous behavior.
Father, like son.
Maybe Zhu Qingmeng still pampers Jiang Yuan’an as before, and solves things without telling herself, but Jiang Yuan’an seems to be no longer satisfied with such a situation, and it may even be because of these things that make her very insecure feel.
There is a problem between them.
But Jiang Yuan’an has a strong self-esteem. He usually likes to be coquettish and cute, but when something goes wrong, he would rather try it out than bow his head to show weakness.
After Jiang Yuan’an calmed down, Yun Zhi made a sound to comfort her.
She said these words to Jiang Yuan’an many times.
Even if the response was good at the time, when conflicts arise, they will still act as usual.
Yun Zhi understood that Cong Jiang Yuan’an had no way to solve the problem.
Since Zhu Qingmeng can help Yu Mingxia keep the secret, the relationship between the two should be good.
So she decided to ask Yu Mingxia for help.
In the evening, when Yu Mingxia came home, Yunzhi waited early at the entrance, and when he heard the sound of pressing the password, Yunzhi opened the door.
“Welcome home, dear Xiaxia, the meal has been prepared for you, and the air conditioner has been turned on.”
Yu Mingxia stared blankly at the bag that was taken away from her hand, and then heard a crisp “baji”.
Yun Zhi suddenly kissed her again, wearing home clothes, his eyes sparkling.
Yu Mingxia came back to his senses, bent his lips: “Smart Zhizhi?”
“Hmm, she’s a smart wife.” Yun Zhi snorted softly, pulled her in and closed the door, then took out slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them in front of her, and put the bag in his hand on the hanger at the entrance .
Yu Mingxia bent his lips, looked at her and smiled lightly.
She seems to like being called wife these two days.
After Yu Mingxia changed her shoes, Yun Zhi dragged her into the bathroom again, turned on the faucet to pour hand sanitizer, and helped her wash her hands.
While washing his hands, he muttered: “Xia Xia has worked hard, are you tired from work today?”
“Quite tiring.”
Yun Zhi raised his head in a daze, a little puzzled, wouldn’t Yu Mingxia usually say he wasn’t tired at a time like this?
Yu Mingxia smiled, hugged her lightly, and said with a smile, “I’m just a little tired from thinking about you.”
Yun Zhi was stunned for two seconds, then burst out laughing, raised his hand to pinch her cheek, and asked with a smile, “How did my Xia Xia learn how to speak sweetly?”
“Do you like it?” Yu Mingxia hugged her waist, looked directly at her with a smile, and let her pinch her cheek.
Yun Zhi’s hand was not strong, she just felt itchy cheeks, she lowered her head and rubbed her palm with her face.
“like.”
Yun Zhi felt that Yu Mingxia was too cute at the moment, especially when he rubbed his head against her palm.
“Is your body better?” Yu Mingxia asked.
“Well, it’s much better. My head doesn’t hurt anymore, and my body temperature is normal. Try it if you don’t believe me.” Yun Zhi raised his head and touched her forehead.
“That’s good.” After trying for a while, Yu Mingxia nodded.
“Then let’s have dinner.” Yun Zhi pulled Yu Mingxia to go out of the bathroom.
Yu Mingxia stood there without moving, just tilted his head slightly to look at her, and asked with a smile:
“Have you forgotten what happened at noon?”
Yun Zhi blinked, laughed a few times, and then said, “It happened suddenly.”
At noon, Jiang Yuanan was crying sadly, so Yun Zhi told Yu Mingxia in advance and asked if she could come back at night.
Although Yu Mingxia agreed, but ended with an aggrieved expression.
“I didn’t mean that.”
Yun Zhi was stunned, remembering that he wanted to make up for her. He coughed softly, straightened his back, and said, “Didn’t I cook a lot of dishes, I will compensate you.”
Yu Mingxia smiled and raised his chin, as if hinting at her.
Yun Zhi was almost lost because of her smile, and at the moment when she was about to kiss her, she reacted belatedly and asked, “How did you dry the water on your hand just now?”
Now Yu Mingxia was silent.
I hugged her just after washing my hands.
so…
“Wipe dry on me?” Yun Zhi asked.
Yu Mingxia is innocent: “It seems to be.”
Yun Zhi snorted lightly, and said, “Don’t move.”
Said not to move, Yu Mingxia really did not move.
It wasn’t until the warm palm touched her skin that Yu Mingxia trembled.
Lowering his head between his waist and abdomen, under the loose clothes, Yun Zhi stretched his hand in.
She didn’t feel cold, but because it happened suddenly.
Yunzhi seems to like surprise attacks.
People can’t guess when she will act like a baby and when she will kiss her, or even a “punishment” like this.
Every moment is full of surprises.
“I know,” Yu Mingxia looked at her darkly, his eyes were filled with ambiguity, leaning on her shoulder, he said again, “I miss you so much.”
Yun Zhixiao: “It’s only been less than eight hours, Xia Xia.”
“I didn’t mean that.” Yu Mingxia’s voice was muffled.
Yun Zhi was stunned, and suddenly realized that there should be a few more words after Yu Mingxia’s words.
She coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, “Are you hungry? Then shall we eat later?”
Yu Mingxia chuckled, let go of her, and refused, “No, you’re not in good health yet.”
Yunzhi: “?”
“Not you…”
Yun Zhi bit her lip in embarrassment: “Damn it.”
Yu Mingxia smiled, pulled her out of the bathroom, and sat down at the dining table.
After a moment of embarrassment, Yun Zhi forgot what happened just now, and frantically picked up dishes for Yu Mingxia at the table, not forgetting to introduce the names of the dishes and brag about himself.
Yu Mingxia usually cooks, and she hasn’t had a chance to show off her culinary skills, but now she has found the opportunity.
Yu Mingxia listened carefully to her speech, his gaze was focused on Yunzhi’s lips.
After the body recovered, the moisture was replenished well, and the lips were no longer as dry as yesterday, but became moist and tender, like a peach, and I only cared about kissing just now.
After work today, her eyes fell on Yunzhi’s position in the office countless times, and her face flashed in her mind.
I also remembered the two groups of pictures I saw in the morning.
A photographer’s romance.
Teaser with pictures.
“Are you listening?” Yun Zhi suspected that Yu Mingxia was distracted, otherwise why would he stare at her without blinking, his eyes were still so gentle.
“I’m listening,” Yu Mingxia bent her lips, repeating what she just said in a gentle voice, “You said that you and Aunt Zhang learned this dish, and it has the effect of nourishing blood and beautifying the face.”
Only then did Yun Zhi nodded in satisfaction: “Yes.”
It turned out that Yu Mingxia smiled so gently because he was listening to her carefully.
Yun Zhi never knew that he could talk so much in one breath before.
The table was filled with the voice of her talking all the time.
However, after she thought about it, she seemed to have been like this since she met Yu Mingxia.
As long as she is watching her and gently says “and then”, she can say a lot.
Being listened to by Yu Mingxia, her desire to share will become very strong.
“Xiaxia, I feel that when I talk to you, my desire to share becomes so strong.”
After the dinner was over and the dining table was cleared away, the two chatted on the sofa, and Yun Zhi suddenly sighed.
The sound of the TV was turned on very low, and the eyes of the two of them were not on the TV.
“I really like listening to you talk and listening to your sharing, it gives me a sense of reality,” Yu Mingxia replied with a smile, “Now I am in your world.”
Yu Mingxia remembered the picture of Huoshaoyun that Yunzhi shared with her a long time ago in the evening.
Although it was just a random picture that Yun Zhi took, it might even be because the two were chatting, so they took it and sent it to her.
But Yu Mingxia felt her desire to share, which was letting her into her world.
Yun Zhi also remembered some past events, bent his lips and said, “As long as you don’t think I’m clingy, I can share everything with you, don’t think I’m annoying.”
“Well, no.” Yu Mingxia responded.
“When I used to take pictures, I would share them with my friends. In the future, I will be the first to share them with you, okay?”
“it is good.”
After finishing speaking, Yu Mingxia was silent for a while, and then asked softly: “Will you leave Yuncheng after the cooperation with our company is over?”
“No, there is another job,” Yun Zhi said mysteriously, “Guess.”
Originally, Yu Mingxia still felt a little bit reluctant when he thought of this, but when he saw her mysterious eyes at this moment, his curiosity was aroused, and he asked, “Signed a new cooperation?”
“Yeah,” Yun Zhi said with a smile, “Guess who he’s working with.”
Because of the bright smile on her face, Yu Mingxia guessed what she was thinking, and said with a smile, “You can’t be shooting me?”
“Otherwise, of course it’s shooting my baby.” Yunzhi has recently become obsessed with pinching Yu Mingxia’s face, and even more like holding her face, watching her mouth being forced to pout like a goldfish, and then taking a light bite.
“You hate me.” Yu Mingxia kissed her and whispered in her ear.
“Well, I can’t bear you.” Yun Zhi replied calmly.
Not only because she was reluctant, but also because she wanted to make up for many previous shortcomings.
It’s also her regret that she didn’t take pictures of Yu Mingxia seriously in high school.
Yun Zhi’s confession undoubtedly made it difficult for Yu Mingxia to restrain himself.
But considering Yun Zhi’s body, Yu Mingxia still stopped.
Yun Zhi opened his eyes in confusion, and pulled her aggrievedly: “My body has recovered.”
Yu Mingxia comforted her: “How about tomorrow?”
“No, or else you should lie down, or else,” Yun Zhi gritted his teeth, and said cruelly, “you can sleep on the sofa tonight.”
Now Yu Mingxia was at a loss, pulled her sleeve and called her name in a low voice.
He even bargained: “Is it okay to sleep in the second bedroom?”
Yunzhi: “…”
“no.”
After a while, Yun Zhi told Yu Mingxia about Jiang Yuan’an before going to bed.
“Is your relationship with Zhu Qingmeng not bad? I think it’s more useful for you to persuade her than me.” Yunzhi said.
Yu Mingxia nodded, and agreed: “I’ll make an appointment with her later to see if she’s free tomorrow. If not, I’ll go to her hospital to talk to her tomorrow.”
Zhu Qingmeng is a dentist. She is usually busy with work and may not have time to attend appointments.
Saying thank you was too far-fetched, Yun Zhi expressed his gratitude with actions, and kissed Yu Mingxia twice.
“An An came to talk to me about a lot of things today.” Yun Zhi paused and looked at Yu Mingxia, “We chatted about gossip for a while.”
“Well, what gossip?” Yu Mingxia asked casually.
After thinking about it, Yun Zhi told Yu Mingxia the last time he met Nan Qiao in the restaurant, and added at the end: “I don’t believe a word she said.”
“I swear.”
Yu Mingxia reached out to hold her raised finger and put it down, and said with a smile, “I know, and you can tell me this is also to be honest with me, I am very happy.”
Yun Zhi Xiao Ji Peck Mi nodded, she didn’t tell Yu Mingxia last time, she just thought it would be fine if she didn’t believe her.
But no matter it was by chance or whatever, she should have told Yu Mingxia.
Seeing that Yu Mingxia didn’t mind, Yun Zhicai told her what Jiang Yuan’an had said to her in the morning.
Yu Mingxia was silent for a long time after listening.
Yun Zhi also fell silent.
Not because of anything else, but at the end of the story, Yunzhi remembered what Jiang Yuan’an had said about the couple’s characteristics.
The man has scars on his face, the woman has moles on her face, and her voice is hoarse.
She vaguely remembered that when she asked Nan Qiao to meet after graduating from the college entrance examination, she seemed to have met these two people.
Because the day was special, it was the first time Nan Qiao missed an appointment, so she remembered clearly that it was a rainy day, and someone came to ask her for directions, not with a Yuncheng accent.
“Zhizhi has worked hard.”
After the two were silent, Yu Mingxia suddenly hugged her, stroked her hair to comfort her, because he felt sorry for her all these years.
Yun Zhi’s thoughts were pulled back in an instant, and his heart was full of emotion.
He didn’t ask or care, but felt sorry for her.
Yu Mingxia is a person who can always move her.
Yun Zhi looked at her, didn’t say anything for a while, his eyes were a little hot, and he plunged into Yu Mingxia’s arms.
She never thought that someone like Yu Mingxia would appear in her life, tolerate her, love her and forgive her.
Even before this, she didn’t feel that she had anything to feel bad about.
It’s the path she chose, the things she chose, she has no reason to complain, and she doesn’t want to complain.
But it was Yu Mingxia who appeared in her life, loved her and cared for her, and told her that you were wronged.
“Why do you always want me to cry?” Yun Zhi’s voice was muffled.
Yu Mingxia hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her hair, and softly comforted her: “It’s my fault, I don’t cry if I know it.”
Yun Zhi opened his eyes wide, and suddenly raised his head to stare at her: “I didn’t cry.”
I am strong written all over my face.
Yu Mingxia smiled, touched her face, and said softly, “Zhizhi is awesome.”
Yun Zhi bit her lip, she had promised in her heart that she would never cry casually in front of Yu Mingxia, and she didn’t want her to be sad with her.
Finally together, they should be happy every day.
“Did I never say a word to you?” Yun Zhi stared into her eyes and said seriously.
“What?” Yu Mingxia rubbed her cheek with his thumb, his voice soft.
“I love you.” Yun Zhi’s voice was very soft.
But it was this gentle confession that made Yu Mingxia pause.
This was the first time she heard Yunzhi say “I love you”.
It is no longer like, nor is it that I love you too.
But I love you.
There is a big difference between liking and loving.
Whether there are words or not, the meaning will be different.
After a long time, Yu Mingxia said softly: “What to do, I can’t bear it anymore.”
Yun Zhi bent his lips and kissed her actively: “Then I can’t bear it.”
