Jiuqiu had never thought of giving up, he just said those words out of anger.
With Jiang Han's calm company and comfort, Jiu Qiu quickly cheered up and personally explained all the misunderstandings to her clients.
On the way back from Jiuqiu's house, Liang Xia said sincerely beside Xu Qingyan: "If Jiuqiu can come to her senses one day and be with Jiang Han, I will definitely burn a stick of incense for my ancestors and Jiuqiu's ancestors to thank them!"
"You're exaggerating." Xu Qingyan said.
"It's not an exaggeration." Liang Xia took Xu Qingyan's hand.
Suddenly, the flesh under his arm was twisted and hurt. Xu Qingyan let out a hiss and pulled his arm out instantly. He looked at Liang Xia in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Liang Xia's expression was full of inquiry. She asked, "Let me ask you, why did you appear in Jiu Qiu's room alone?"
It's over... I forgot about this.
Xu Qingyan avoided his gaze guiltily and said hesitantly: "I... just..."
Something is happening! Liang Xia's expression became more cautious, and she asked, "What is it?"
"I just want to trouble Jiuqiu with something." Xu Qingyan touched his head, his heart beating nervously. He felt that if he said something wrong by accident, Liangxia would kill him.
"Really? Is there anything I can do to trouble Jiuqiu?" Liang Xia asked.
Xu Qingyan didn't know what to do, so he just said, "That's it... I can't let you know yet."
Can't let her know? Is he planning to prepare a surprise for her?
There were no holidays recently, and it wasn't her birthday. Besides, even if it was her birthday, Xu Qingyan couldn't prepare any surprises. She still remembered her last birthday, and if she hadn't called him in person, Xu Qingyan would have almost forgotten it.
"If you don't tell me, I'll ignore you..." Liang Xia turned her head away, a little angry.
"No, no, no, Liangxia, I'm telling you." Xu Qingyan couldn't tell Liangxia that he was asking Jiuqiu what surprise to prepare for Liangxia so that Liangxia would be happy. So Xu Qingyan said something else, "I... just want to ask Jiuqiu... how can I ask you so that you will agree to let me sleep with you..."
Xu Qingyan was being a little cunning, and this was indeed something he wanted to know.
Liang Xia, with her back to Xu Qingyan, blushed instantly, but because she was secretly happy, she couldn't help but laugh secretly.
"Well." Liang Xia suppressed her smile and said, "It depends on my mood."
"Will you be in a good mood tonight?" Xu Qingyan asked.
Liang Xia's smile deepened, but she couldn't let Xu Qingyan see it, so she said, "It depends on the situation." After that, she walked towards her residence. Xu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief behind him, slowly followed Liang Xia, and said nothing more.
At night, stars fill the entire sky.
Xu Qingyan, who did not get Liangxia's permission to enter the room, still slept in the study.
However, after a while, Liang Xia walked straight to Xu Qingyan's study, pulled out the pillow from under his head, and looked at him expressionlessly: "I'm in a good mood." After that, she went back to the bedroom.
Xu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted, with an unconcealable smile on his face.
He came to the bedroom and saw Liang Xia helping him spread out the pillow. After finishing, Liang Xia clapped her hands and said, "I'm sleepy, why don't you close the door?"
"Oh...oh!" Xu Qingyan closed the door awkwardly...
After that night, the relationship between Xu Qingyan and Liang Xia seemed to become deeper.
The eye contact between them was extremely ambiguous.
The next night, after Xu Qingyan and Liang Xia finished their meal, Xu Qingyan washed the dishes while Liang Xia took a shower. After that, she sat on the sofa and watched TV.
After Xu Qingyan finished cleaning up, he also went to take a shower. When he came out, he saw Liang Xia still sitting on the sofa, so he turned over from behind the sofa and sat next to Liang Xia, leaning forward slightly.
Liang Xia tried to dodge playfully, but was pinned down by Xu Qingyan. Liang Xia said, "Stop it."
"I'm not making a fuss." Xu Qingyan took something out of his trouser pocket and bit it between his lips. When Liang Xia saw it, her face turned red.
"I've made all the preparations for tonight." Xu Qingyan whispered in Liang Xia's ear. His other hand had already picked up the remote control and gradually turned up the volume of the TV...
When Liang Xia told Jiu Qiu about this, Jiu Qiu excitedly ran around the room several times. Then, Jiu Qiu asked with a hint of joy: "Have you taken safety measures?"
"It's done, because we don't want to get married or have children so early." Liang Xia said.
"Oh my god." Jiuqiu held Liangxia's face and said with emotion, "Why do I feel like our Liangxia has become an adult overnight?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liang Xia smiled and reached out to hit Jiuqiu.
Jiuqiu evaded the question flexibly and said, "Liangxia in our family has a man she can entrust her life to, and her life is on track. As for me, I have already resolved the last issue, and now I have no problem with my work. Liangxia, we will definitely get better and better, right?"
Whether it's your personal life or your attitude towards the world, things will definitely get better and better, right?
"Yes." Liang Xia pulled Jiu Qiu over and said, "It would be even more perfect if you could find your own happiness."
"But there's one thing I don't quite understand." Jiu Qiu asked doubtfully, "Does a person really have to find his other half for his life to be perfect?"
Liang Xia smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "Some people like to live alone, so living alone is perfect for them. So, a perfect life has nothing to do with whether you can find a partner. What does matter is that you live happily and openly, without worries and pressure, without worries and diseases."
"I think so too." Jiuqiu sat down next to Liangxia, rested his head on her shoulder, and talked about his plan, "I want to sell clothes for a few more years. When I'm 26, I'll go out and try my luck, and go to all the places I want to go."
"What about Jiang Han?" Liang Xia asked. Liang Xia just felt that Jiang Han had waited for Jiu Qiu for so many years, and no matter what the outcome was, Jiu Qiu should give Jiang Han an answer.
"I will give Jiang Han an answer before that. Alas, Liangxia, isn't it too immoral for me to keep dragging Jiang Han like this?" Jiuqiu asked worriedly.
"Yes." Liang Xia answered without hesitation.
Jiu Qiu sighed with a sad face, holding the phone in his hand, and said, "How about I give Jiang Han an answer now?"
"If it's a bad answer, don't give it. You've given these answers over the years, but when has Jiang Han listened seriously? He believes that although you reject him verbally, you are hesitant in your heart, so even if you reject him now, he will not leave. If there is really no fate between you, Jiang Han will understand it himself at that time." Jiuqiu didn't know that Liangxia and Jiang Han sometimes made private appointments to talk. Jiuqiu didn't know many of Jiang Han's secrets, but Liangxia knew them, so Liangxia understood Jiang Han's determination to like Jiuqiu better than Jiuqiu.
"Oh, I'm so upset. By the way, Liangxia, when are you going to have your holiday?"
"I don't have classes on January 4th."
"Then let's go back early. I miss home and my parents." Jiuqiu felt melancholy and looked at the scenery outside the balcony with Liangxia.
If only the world wasn't so complicated, Jiuqiu could be a truly carefree person.
Winter, Cloud City.
Nanshi is not far from Yuncheng, but Jiuqiu and Liangxia are still so busy that they can only go home once every six months.
In the past, when I returned home, my relatives and friends would always ask, "How are your grades? Which school are you applying to?"
Now when I go home, they always ask: "What do you do? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Aunts and uncles always like to ask these questions, as if getting a satisfactory answer will win their family a prize. These adults are so gossipy!
In order to avoid those adults, Jiuqiu came to Liangxia's house, but she didn't know that Liangxia's father was also urging Liangxia to find a boyfriend as soon as possible.
Liang Xia's mother objected, "Why look for a boyfriend? My daughter is still so young, do you want her to get married quickly?"
As a girl who married early, Liang Xia's mother had the most say. She said to Liang Xia, "Liang Xia, don't listen to your father. If you get married at the age of 30, I, your mother, won't urge you."
"At thirty years old, doesn't that make her an old maid?" Liang Xia's father retorted.
"Old maid? Thirty years old is an old maid, then am I an old grandmother now? What's the matter, Lao Lin, you don't love me anymore because I'm old?" Liang Xia's mother's mouth was like a machine gun, and it made Jiu Qiu at the door laugh.
"Hey? Jiuqiu, you came at the right time. Come and judge the case for your aunt." Liangxia's mother seemed to have found a helper and stood up straight.
Jiuqiu said with a smile: "Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about? You are so beautiful, how can you be an old lady? You are obviously a little girl."
"Jiuqiu is still the one who knows how to talk." Liangxia's mother said happily, which made Liangxia and Liangxia's father show disgusted expressions.
"Uncle and aunt, please stop expressing your opinions on your own. Liangxia is a sensible person. Besides, Liangxia... has a boyfriend." Jiuqiu said mysteriously.
Liang Xia's parents opened their eyes wide in shock as if they had discovered a new continent: "What? Our Liang Xia has a boyfriend?" After saying that, the two elders stared at Liang Xia in unison.
Liang Xia turned her back to them and ate an apple: "Yes."
"Who is it? What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do?" Liang Xia's father asked a series of questions.
Liang Xia said calmly: "His name is Xu Qingyan, he is a few years older than me, and his family is from Nanshi. I won't tell you the rest for now."
"How is that person? When will you bring him back for Dad to see?" Liang Xia's father sat next to his daughter and said worriedly, "What if he is not good and deceives you?"
"Oh, uncle." Jiuqiu walked over, put his hands on Liangxia's father's shoulders, massaged him, and said, "I can guarantee that Xu Qingyan is really good to Liangxia!"
"How can you little girls understand men? Men always talk nonsense. How can you chase girls if you don't do that?" Liang Xia's father said with the tone of a man who has experienced it.
Liang Xia's mother spread her hands and said, "He tricked me into joining the Lin family."
"Dad, Mom, I will try my best to bring a boyfriend back to you within half a year, believe me." Liang Xia swore solemnly. Liang Xia's father wanted to say something, but Liang Xia pulled Jiu Qiu into the room and said, "We two sisters have something to say, Mom and Dad, excuse me."
After saying that, they went into the room, avoiding the sight of their parents.
This is how people are pushed to grow up in their lives. Pushing people to study, to take the college entrance exam, to work, to have a boyfriend, to get married, to have children, all kinds of pushes, and no one seems to be tired of it.
However, the person being urged may not feel the same as them.
Fortunately, for Liangxia and Jiuqiu, although they were a little annoyed, it didn't affect their mood. After all, as long as they didn't take it seriously, it didn't matter what others said.
The amount of troubles you have in life is related to your mentality.
On New Year’s Eve, every home is lit up.
The Lin and Lu families gathered together to eat hot pot. In the lively atmosphere, Liang Xiazang's cell phone suddenly vibrated.
Liang Xia used the excuse of going to the bathroom and took out her cell phone to see that it was a text message from Xu Qingyan.
"Liangxia, I'm at the gate of your community."
Liang Xia was startled. Xu Qingyan... came to her door?
Liang Xia didn't dare to delay and quickly walked out of the bathroom and said, "Mom, I'm going downstairs to buy something." Then, she immediately changed her shoes, put on her coat, and ran downstairs.
At the entrance of the community, Xu Qingyan was really standing there.
She was wearing a slim-fitting tweed coat, a plaid scarf, a knitted hat on her head, and holding a bouquet of eye-catching roses in her hands.
Liang Xia was angry and amused, but she was more happy and touched. She walked over and asked calmly, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be with your family on New Year's Eve?"
"I've spent 25 New Year's Eves with them, and I want to spend this one with you." Xu Qingyan handed the rose to Liang Xia.
Liang Xia couldn't hide her inner joy , so she took it and said pretentiously, "Who asked you to spend so much money? You fool."
"I realized that after being with you for such a long time, I only gave you flowers when I confessed my love to you. I feel very sorry for you. Liangxia, I hope you don't dislike this cliché surprise tonight." Xu Qingyan said very seriously, and the white gas he exhaled dispersed in front of Liangxia.
"Silly boy, why should I dislike you?" Liang Xia put the back of her hand against Xu Qingyan's face and asked with concern, "Are you cold?" His face was ice-cold.
"It's not cold." Xu Qingyan smiled and shook his head, hugged Liang Xia into his arms, and said gently, "You won't be cold if I hold you."
Hiding in Xu Qingyan's arms, Liang Xia burst into tears.
This time the tears were hot and warm, shed willingly and without regrets...
