Think childish

After Gu Jia finished speaking, she looked up at her.

It was quiet inside the bar, only the two of them.Usually it is not so quiet here, because Ah Shui is here, he is always twittering, running around, as if he has too much energy and never knows how tired he is.

"I may be going abroad to study soon." Qiu Shui said suddenly.

"Maybe?" Gu Jia asked.

She held the cup with both hands, and her neck sank a little: "I'm not sure, I still have worries that I can't let go of, although it's only for a year, but..."

"But you are worried about your sister, you are worried that if she is with someone else during this period, you will be beyond your reach." Gu Jia stared at her and expressed her thoughts frankly.

Qiu Shui fell silent.

"You've been around the same person for so many years, haven't you thought about leaving her and living a new life without her?"

Qiu Shui looked at her in confusion.

She never thought about a life without Qiao Zhi.

Gu Jia explained: "Based on my experience, according to what you said, your sister should not be the same person as us, otherwise she wouldn't have shown any feelings about 'love' towards you for so long, it's impossible Yes. If she is, she must be aware of it."

"..."

Qiu Shui knew that what she said was right, so he didn't dare to show his feelings to Qiao Zhi.It is almost [-]% possible that Qiao Zhi will reject her.What about after rejection?What kind of result?She dare not think.

The sound of rain outside the house suddenly fell, Qiu Shui turned his head as if feeling something, and looked at the dark cold rainy night through the mottled glass window.

"You know, when I was 16 years old, she took me away from my aunt's house. At that time, she said that she would control me for the rest of my life, regardless of life or death."

How long is a lifetime.

"She saved me." Qiu Shui said, "When I was a child, my mother gave me poisonous biscuits, and I almost swallowed them. She grabbed my throat and pulled out the biscuits from my mouth... ..." She propped her head and sighed, "I really don't want to go back to that kind of life, where I'm lost, and my feet seem to be empty..."

***

Qiu Shui suddenly wanted to see her very much.

She took advantage of the rainy night to return to Yushui Garden.The house was quiet, she changed her wet shoes, and stepped lightly up to the second floor.The study door at the end was not closed tightly, and a ray of light leaked out.She looked at it quietly for a while, then went back to her room and changed into clean clothes, then walked over.

Qiu Shui stood by the door and carefully pushed the door open a little further.

In the room, Qiao Zhi was wearing glasses, facing her sideways, writing something at his desk.Her hair was already a little long, slightly curled and hanging down her side.She was so focused on writing that she didn't notice that someone was coming. The lights drew her figure into a long line and reflected obliquely on the carpet. Qiushui knocked on the door lightly. Qiao Zhi suddenly stopped writing and turned around.

"Sister, are you still asleep?" Qiu Shui walked in.

Qiao Zhi took off her glasses, pinched the bridge of her nose, and stretched her waist: "Why did you come back suddenly at this point?"

Qiu Shui walked behind her and squeezed her shoulders to relax, Qiao Zhi squinted her eyes and sighed contentedly while enjoying it.

"Come back and get something." Qiu Shui asked, "Is it heavy?"

Qiao Zhi hummed twice and shook her head, signaling her to work harder.

"By the way, the head of your department called me earlier, saying that you were selected by the school to go abroad, right?" Qiao Zhi asked with her eyes closed.

Qiu Shui loosened his grip: "You know?"

Qiao Zhi patted her hand and bent her mouth: "It's a good thing, why didn't you tell me?"

She pouted and muttered in a low voice: "It's nothing, I don't really want to go."

"Huh?" Qiao Zhi opened her eyes in doubt, took her hand and brought her in front of her, "Why don't you want to go? I heard from your director that this time the public school only selected two students. It's not right for you." A kind of certainty?"

One of them was standing and the other was sitting. Qiao Zhi suddenly realized that the little girl in front of her had grown into a big girl in this posture. She was taller and her eyebrows were longer. Compared with the cuteness when she was a child, she is now I have to say "it's beautiful".

Qiao Zhi stood up suddenly: "Turn around."

Qiu Shui was turned around by her in a daze.

Qiao Zhi leaned against her back, raised her hand and shook it above her head, then turned around with a surprised expression on her face: "You're actually taller than me?"

"Ah?" Qiu Shui opened his mouth halfway, and when he realized it, his expression was a little smug, but he still said modestly, "It's not much taller, just two centimeters."

Also... just two centimeters.

With such a clear count, he must be secretly measuring his height every day behind his back...

Qiao Zhi put her hips on her hips and walked around the spot a little bit angrily: "Why don't I go for a run tomorrow?" He muttered, "The rice you've been eating all these years is really worth it. It's grown so big..."

As Qiao Zhi talked, she suddenly felt a sense of relief and loss as a mother.

Bah bah bah!What is motherhood? !

Qiao Zhi shook her head, smiled and pinched her face: "Are you happy that your wish has come true?"

Qiu Shui looked at her helplessly and smiled: "Do you still remember?"

"Nonsense, I'm not an old woman in her [-]s and [-]s. It's only been a few years. Why do I have such a bad memory?" Qiao Zhi gave her a reproachful look, and as soon as she turned around, someone hugged her from behind.

Qiu Shui's heart trembled unbelievably, and even his hands and feet began to tingle.

She tightened her arms, buried her face on Qiao Zhi's shoulders and neck, her breathing was a little short, and she said softly, "Even if you become an old woman, I don't dislike you. What I said before is all serious."

……

——I, Zhuang Qiushui, swear to Mother Moon that in this life, I will never betray my sister. I will always be with my sister, always like my sister, and always... protect you.

……

The little girl's clear voice is still lingering in my ears, but years have passed in a flash.

The weirdness in Qiao Zhi's heart dissipated, and she patted the hands around her waist with emotion, then turned around, and took her into her arms actively.

"For so many years, you are still by my side, we are still together, it's really... very good." Qiao Zhi stroked her hair, "If you don't want to go to study abroad, it sounds like France is too far away , I don’t worry about you going there alone. Wait a few more years, when I have some free time, we will go abroad for further study together.”

Qiao Zhi finally understood that although Qiu Shui had grown taller and looked like an adult, she was still the little girl who liked to cling to her at her core.

France is indeed too far away. The little girl has never been abroad before, and it will take a year before she leaves. She is probably afraid, so she doesn't want to go.

Qiao Zhi felt sorry for her more and more, and felt that she had spoiled her a little bit, but even though she thought so, she indulged her and said: "If you don't want to tell the teachers in the same courtyard, I'll tell them. The matter of the public school To put it bluntly, the name sounds nicer, and our family does not lack that little money, if you want to go abroad in the future, sister will send you out at any time."

Hearing what she said, Qiu Shui was both happy and disappointed.

She couldn't help wondering whether one day even if she expressed her feelings to Qiao Zhi, the latter would only think that she was acting like a spoiled little girl and relying too much on her?

"By the way." Qiao Zhi let go of her, "Didn't you say that you are busy looking for a lost friend these days? How is it? Has anyone been found? Do you need my help?"

Qiu Shui shook his head: "I have found it, I just came back from her."

"Have you found out what's going on?" Qiao Zhi asked.

Qiu Shui's eyelashes drooped, and she pursed her lips: "Her brother died, it was... suicide."

"What?!" Qiao Zhi frowned.

Qiu Shui looked up at her with scattered eyes: "Her younger brother likes a man. He was discovered by his family and kicked out. He couldn't think about it, so he jumped off the building."

"Like men?" Qiao Zhi frowned even deeper.

Qiu Shui felt his heart beating up and down again, the blood all over his body seemed to be on fire, and the numbness of his hands and feet became more obvious.

"Yeah." She nodded and asked in a whisper, "Do you hate this kind of person?"

"It's hard to say I hate it." Qiao Zhi suddenly hooked her hand, "I'll tell you a secret, teapot and Bai Jiao, they are also..."

"What is it?" Qiu Shui carefully looked at her while concealing his hope.

"Couples!" Qiao Zhi said, and then showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, "I also ran into it by accident two years ago... Cough, I always thought that the way they got along was weird before, I didn't think about it deeply, mainly because I didn't think about it. I doubted it in that idle time, but it is still not as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes!"

When she said the word "shocking", she patted her chest with lingering fear: "You don't know how embarrassing I was at that scene that day, just in the company's office, these two people were too careless, and they didn't pay attention. Not to mention locking the door or something..."

The topic is completely off track here.

Qiao Zhi was naturally slow in emotion, and it took so long to discover the relationship between the teapot and Bai Jiao. Qiu Shui knew about it before her, and had bumped into it more than once...

"...But this kind of thing, like a person drinking water, knows whether he is warm or not. Outsiders may feel that his relationship with his family has been so tense all these years, and he will not go back at the age of [-]. Life must be uncomfortable. But in fact? I think he is too happy to leave!" Qiao Zhi snorted.

He also said: "However, your friend's younger brother is too fragile mentally. So what if he is kicked out of the house? Can't he support himself if he has all the hands and feet? If you like it, go for it! If you want to be fair, then hold your head up If you can’t fight against the sky, can’t you fight against people? If you can’t, you have to try it to know!”

Qiushui: "..."

"Your sister really said that?" Gu Jia couldn't help but want to laugh.

Qiu Shui looked at her helplessly: "Laugh if you want."

"No, how can I laugh when you say that?" Gu Jia gave her a gloomy look, and then smiled. "Isn't that good? It shows that your sister is an enlightened person. I can't guarantee that she can accept it. You should try it first!"

Qiu Shui shook her head: "She can say that because it didn't happen between me and her."

After Qiao Zhi said that, she did think a little bit, but... this matter has to be taken slowly, she would rather wait than rush.

"Rainbow Color" has an event tonight, which is extraordinarily lively and noisy.Several underground bands took turns to "roar" on stage, and the sound of the music nearly shattered her ears.

Qiu Shui covered her ears and said goodbye to Gu Jia loudly: "Jia Jia, I'll go back first. I haven't finished my review yet, and it's due tomorrow."

Gu Jia was amused when she heard the word "review", and yelled back at her: "Are you still writing a review?"

Qiu Shui nodded, with a gloomy expression on his face: "I temporarily repented of not going to the public school, and my dean of the department was pissed off. He asked me to review [-] words, and I will read aloud to the teachers and students of the school on the radio tomorrow and Monday, and deeply reflect on my mistakes."
