Think childish

Guo Qingshan was dragged into the study by Qiao Zhi in a daze, and then kicked out by her. Out of some kind of resentment, his inflexible little brain finally played out once in a rare way—he had an intuition that these two people must be Something is hiding from him.

However, he is no longer the clingy child who broke the casserole and asked the bottom line when he was a child. He has initially realized that "girls" are inherently different from their boys. This difference not only refers to physical differences, but also includes psychological.For example, they always have all kinds of little secrets, and they always get angry for no reason, and the more they get angry, the more fierce they become...

To borrow a sentence from his good brother Xiao Lin: It is better for a boy to sit on the sidelines in matters between girls, otherwise it will be too late to regret.

Guo Qingshan thought about it, and finally decided to pretend that he didn't know anything, abide by his duty, don't participate, don't cooperate, and just quietly watch.

Early the next morning, when the three of them were sitting at the table having breakfast, Qiao Zhi suddenly stopped and said to Qiu Shui, "You accompany me to a dinner at noon, I have something to do at work in the morning and I have to go there first, and then I will let you go." The driver will come to pick you up at home."

Qiu Shui was taken aback for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Guo Qingshan looked at the two elder sisters on the left and right, and somehow felt that the atmosphere in front of him was a little weird, so he quickly took this opportunity to resign: "Sister, a classmate in my dormitory invited me to his house to play for a few days, anyway, you are both busy. I don't have time to take care of me, I just go to his house to play the autumn wind for a few days, okay?"

Qiao Zhi said "Yes" without a tone, and said, "I'll save some money in your passbook later, and you can buy some gifts and take them with you. Don't lose the etiquette of being a guest."

Guo Qingshan nodded persistently, finished his breakfast in two or three, got up and said, "Then I'll go upstairs to pack my things first."

Qiao Zhi: "Go."

After breakfast, before going to the company, Qiao Zhi hesitated again and again, finally she gritted her teeth and turned her head to tell Qiushui, "Today's dinner is very formal. There is a dress I bought for you on the bed in my room. It should be the right size. You... Remember to put it on at noon."

After finishing the confession, Qiao Zhi almost ran away in despair.

Qiu Shui held the door handle blankly and watched her drive away, then closed the door, walked upstairs with no expression, went straight to Qiao Zhi's bedroom, pushed the door open, and then saw what Qiao Zhi said to give her an early date. ready skirt.

It's a pure white off-the-shoulder fringed skirt, very pretty.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror, she took off her clothes one by one, stared naked at herself in the mirror, stared blankly for a while, and then changed into the dress.

Qiao Zhi has a good eye, and the dress she chose for her just fit her size.

The girl in the mirror has long hair hanging loose, her fragrant shoulders are half exposed, and her figure is graceful and beautiful.

Qiu Shui leaned forward slightly, getting close to herself in the mirror, as if she didn't know her, she stretched out her index finger inch by inch to stroke the face in the mirror, suddenly, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes were pitifully facing the mirror Said: "Look, she really took great pains for you..."

After Qiu Shui said this, he straightened up with cold eyes, turned around, walked to the dressing table and sat down, and began to carefully put on makeup for himself.After the makeup was done, it was still early, but she seemed too lazy to move, so she sat in front of the vanity mirror, waiting patiently, waiting, until the sound of a trumpet came from downstairs outside, she moved slightly and was already numb expression.

……

Hals Hotel fourth floor, private room.

"This way please." The waiter led them to the door of the box, bent slightly and opened the door.

"Mr. Qiao!" Li Guohua, who had been waiting in the box for a long time, beckoned to her.

Qiu Shui followed Qiao Zhi, glanced over, and found that there were only two people sitting in the box, besides the middle-aged man who was talking, there was also a young man sitting next to her, who looked about her age, with good facial features and eyes Junyi was also staring at her.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to be late because of the traffic jam." Qiao Zhi said with a smile, pulling Qiu Shui to sit opposite them.

Li Guohua waved his hands boldly, and said, "Hey, it's okay, Xiaochen and I have just arrived." Then he turned to the waiter waiting on the side and said, "Let's serve."

Waiter: "Okay, sir."

……

Li Guohua is the boss of Beijing Chengfa Real Estate. He and Qiao Zhi met when they cooperated in the shopping plaza project a few years ago. In recent years, the two companies have cooperated several times intermittently. The two have a little friendship in private.

Although Li Guohua is older than Qiao Zhi, he doesn't rely on his seniority. As soon as he sat down, he poured tea for the two of them, and then introduced: "This is my son Li Chen, the only seedling of our old Li family. My younger sister is from the same school, but she graduated two years earlier."

As Li Guohua said, he gave Li Chen a wink, and the young man next to him got up with a teacup in his hand, and said hello to the two of them.

Qiao Zhi was originally worried that Qiushui would not cooperate. After all, with her intelligence, she might have already guessed the purpose of today's dinner.But completely beyond her expectation, Qiu Shui was not only extremely cooperative, but even took the initiative to chat with Li Chen.

This situation is not to say uncommon, it is simply rare.

After a meal, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, and the four of them came out of the hotel. Before getting into the car, Li Chen shyly asked Qiu Shui for his contact information in front of Qiao Zhi and his father. Qiu Shui also generously gave it to him.

Qiao Zhi had been observing Qiushui's expression silently, but he didn't find anything wrong until the Li family father and son left.

It's normal, too normal.

On the way home, the two sat side by side in the back seat of the car. Qiao Zhi asked cautiously, "What do you think of Li Chen?"

Qiu Shui didn't even think about it, and blurted out: "My sister carefully selected it for me, so it's naturally very good."

Only one sentence made Qiao Zhi shut up.

She is very vigilant in the business field, and can often smell certain wind directions in advance; but in the field of love, she is really dull. It was not until Qiu Shui said this that she was shocked. Because, but just to cooperate with her.

All the way back home in silence.

Qiu Shui's silent and well-behaved made Qiao Zhi feel unspeakably uncomfortable, especially when she asked, are there any other arrangements for today?Without me, I took off the make-up first. I was a little sleepy, and when I wanted to sleep, Qiao Zhi felt the suppressed anger and disappointment in her heart almost immediately.

……

Qiu Shui stood at the stairs with her head down, holding on to the handle of the stairs, quietly waiting for her answer.

Seeing her like this, Qiao Zhi suddenly fell into an unprecedented dilemma.

After a long time, she said wearily, "Qiu'er, let's talk."

Qiu Shui looked up at her and smiled, "Okay."

Qiao Zhi habitually touched the cigarette case in her bag, turned around, walked to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette silently, smoked more than half of it, and then said: "You said that you are different from Gu Jia, you are not born to like Girl, you just fell in love with a girl, right?"

Qiao Zhi emphasized "one".

Qiu Shui gave a soft "hmm".

Qiao Zhi looked back at her: "Then can we not like this girl?"

Qiu Shui looked at her frown that could no longer be frowned, and didn't answer, not knowing what to say.

Qiao Zhi licked her lips, took the last puff of cigarette, put out the cigarette butt heavily in the ashtray with a dazed look, and said slowly, "This matter is not about whether I can accept it, the key is you You don’t live in a world where there are only me and you. In the future, you still have to live and go out to socialize. The older you get, the more you will find that this world is hostile to the ‘very small number of people’. I can’t possibly know that one day you will Will be in such a predicament without pulling you, and watching you go to the edge of the cliff...... Have you ever thought that if you like her, you may be rejected by this society, your future path, you How to go?"

Every word Qiao Zhi painstakingly uttered was like a sharp knife. The knife pierced her wounds that had not healed for a long time, and the stern wind shuttled back and forth in those wounds, almost cutting her whole.

"I know..." Qiu Shui found his voice with difficulty, and unconsciously covered his heart within Qiao Zhi's invisible range.

"But I can't."

Qiao Zhi couldn't understand her words.In her opinion, Qiu Shui is just asking for trouble, same-sex love?She can vividly remember the situation of Teapot and Bai Jiao these years. She stubbornly believes that Qiushui still doesn't understand the seriousness of the problem. This society seems to tolerate everything, but in fact, anything that goes beyond the rules will be confronted tit for tat.

Qiao Zhi didn't want to force her like this, but she had protected her for so many years, not to watch her go against the whole world, and end in embarrassment in the end.

"Have you ever thought that your liking for Gu Jia may be just a momentary infatuation, a momentary heartbeat, if you don't try, how do you know you can't do it?"

The huge living room was extremely quiet.

Qiu Shui suddenly smiled.

It turned out that she didn't know anything.

……

"There is a person...Nine years ago, she stood in my life with the momentum to pierce all injustices in the world. She is so beautiful, so confident and proud. I have been watching her, following her, trying to keep up with her, Standing side by side with her, but she never, never looked back at me..."

Qiu Shui suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

"Every day, every day, I feel ecstatic that I can be a little closer to her... I like that she hugs me, that she treats me well, that she calls me 'Qiu'er' in a low voice..."

……

Finally, she finally said it all.

Qiu Shui raised his head and swallowed back all the broken sobs in his throat.

She saw Qiao Zhi stand up from the sofa slowly at an extremely slow speed, then turned around in shock and looked at her in disbelief.

Qiu Shui's eyes were red and her smile was bitter.

"Sister, you only need to look back at me to see how much I love you."
