Think childish

Qiao Zhi hung up the phone and came out of the bathroom, walked to the bed with quiet footsteps, carefully tucked the quilt for the person on the bed, then took the room card, closed the door, and took the elevator directly down to the hotel's B[-] floor.

Xiao Li drove over and was waiting for her in the parking lot on the first floor.

"Give me the car keys." Qiao Zhi saw her from a distance and quickened her pace.

At a distance of more than two meters, Xiao Li threw the key to her. Qiao Zhi raised her hand to take it, unlocked it, walked quickly to the driver's seat, opened the door and sat in.

Xiao Li was about to raise his hand to pull the co-pilot's door, Qiao Zhi lowered the window glass of the co-pilot and put on his seat belt: "I won't go to Boss Zhou's side, you can go there on my behalf."

Xiao Li responded, and put his fingers on the car door again. The next second, with a "click", the car door was locked from the inside.

Xiao Li: "???"

Qiao Zhi smiled shyly at her: "I'm in a hurry to go somewhere, you can take a taxi there by yourself."

After finishing speaking, the car jumped out.

Xiao Li: "..."

Half an hour later, Qiao Zhi parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and entered a shop called "Tang Shaobing".This store is a time-honored brand, and it was engaged in the business of carrying burdens in the late Qing Dynasty.Until now, because the business is so hot, the store only closes at [-] pm every day, and the sign is the hot "sugar pie".

Qiao Zhi entered the store and waited in line for more than 20 minutes. After buying the cakes, he drove straight to the mall.After tossing like a war, I went back to the hotel. When I opened the door, the room was quiet, because the curtains were tightly drawn, and there was no light at all.She knocked on the door and walked in. Sure enough, the person on the bed was still awake.

Probably because of being too tired, Qiu Shui purred slightly after falling asleep completely. It was not loud, a bit like the kind made by a kitten after falling asleep, and it sounded cute.Qiao Zhi squatted beside the bed and quietly recorded a segment with her mobile phone. It was very difficult to hold back her laughter during the process.

After recording, she got up and looked at her watch, and found that it was almost noon.

Qiao Zhi was worried that she would be unhealthy if she slept for such a long time, so she bent down to her ear and called her softly... Well, there was no response at all.

Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Qiao Zhi couldn't bear it, but considering that they still had business to do in the afternoon, she really couldn't just let her go to sleep without eating.

Qiao Zhi became ruthless, went to the bathroom to moisten a towel with cold water, and then helped Qiushui up to lean on her body.Qiu Shui hummed and chirped twice, but did not open his eyes.Qiao Zhi pinched the towel and touched her cheek lightly. Qiu Shui felt a stimulating coolness in her sleep, and was awakened instantly and opened her eyes.

Qiao Zhi hurriedly said, "Are you awake? It's almost dark, don't sleep anymore."

Qiu Shui frowned and rubbed his eyes, subconsciously glanced to the side, only to see the tightly drawn curtains.Immediately afterwards, she realized that she seemed to be leaning against "someone", and she was shocked by the conditioned reflex of her body, and sat up straight.

Before Qiao Zhi realized the emptiness in her arms, Qiu Shui slowly turned her head and glanced at her, frowning as if confirming something, after ten seconds, her brows suddenly relaxed, and she fell into her arms again.

Qiao Zhi: "..."

Qiu Shui blindfolded and looked up, staring at Qiao Zhi's beautifully curved jaw and said lazily, "I was scared to death just now, what did you use to rub my face?"

When Qiao Zhi was knocked down by her, her heart was in a state of agitation, her eyes dodged and she didn't dare to look down at her, and said, "Just...a towel soaked in cold water, I can't wake you up..."

Qiu Shui seemed to think that this position was uncomfortable, and moved left and right on his own, finally found a more suitable angle in her arms, tugged the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, and was about to close his eyes again up.

Qiao Zhi seriously suspected that she hadn't woken up yet. The sudden intimacy made her a little confused, and she didn't know how to stop her from sleeping.

Suddenly, Qiu Shui's eyes widened, and the ear that was close to Qiao Zhi's chest pressed closer to her heart.

Qiao Zhi: "..."

"Your heart beats so fast." Qiu Shui leaned into her arms and said.

…………………… God damn human heart.

Qiao Zhi pushed her up, stood up pretending to be calm, and said, "Don't stay in bed when you wake up. I'll buy you something to eat on the table. After you wash up, eat something first. I'll go to the front desk to check out."

Qiu Shui looked at her with slumped shoulders: "I have slept for too long, my whole body hurts and I have no strength."

When Qiao Zhi heard this, she squatted down and looked at her like an enemy and asked, "Where does it hurt?" Then she raised her hand to touch her forehead, but she didn't have a fever.

fine.She took a breath of relief.

Qiu Shui pouted towards his legs: "The legs are a little numb from sleep." He added, "The arms are also numb."

Without doubting him, Qiao Zhi supported her back to the head of the bed, put her hands under the quilt and rubbed her legs, and asked with a heavy expression, "Is it heavy?"

Qiu Shui looked at her shaking her head, her eyes were a little dazed.

From the moment she said she wasn't feeling well, Qiao Zhi's awkwardness and charm disappeared, leaving only distress in her heart.She rubbed carefully and carefully, lowered her eyelashes and said softly: "Qiu'er, come with me to the hospital later for an examination, okay? I've already contacted the doctor, I'm really... worried. You blame me It's okay to hate me, but you can't make fun of your own health, just treat it as I beg you, give me peace of mind?"

Qiu Shui looked at her wrinkled brows and the corners of her mouth that were wrinkled into the word "Chuan"—this person seemed to have changed, she thought.Five years, looking at it from a distance, there is almost no sense of reality, but when she looked at Qiao Zhi, looked at the more mature eyebrows and eyes of the other party, and felt the hidden depression and silence in her body, she understood that she was indeed It was five years of missing her, and Qiao Zhi had indeed become different from before.

In the past, she was full of sharpness, holding a sharp weapon in her hand, young and reckless, as if she could gallop the world.But now, maybe because of her age, or maybe because of something else, her whole temperament has suddenly become much more stable, and her eyes have become more forbearing.

Perhaps because she forbeared too much, Qiu Shui almost felt some kind of caution and contradictions in her, and these two things made her feel the "cowardice" of the other party.Ordinarily, Qiao Zhi shouldn't have anything to do with the word "cowardly", unless she was shaken by something, or there was something in her heart that she was afraid to face.

"I'm hungry." Qiu Shui said.

Qiao Zhi stopped and turned to look at her.

"Let me eat something first, and then we go to the hospital."

"it is good."

Qiao Zhi fetched the food she had bought for her.The sugar pie was a bit cold, but it still didn't prevent Qiushui from enjoying its deliciousness.

She asked, "Is this from the 'Old Tang's'?"

Qiao Zhi nodded, motioning for her to have some porridge.

"I'm out of hands." Qiu Shui held the pie in one hand and picked up the falling scum with a paper bag in the other, and glanced at her meaningfully.

Qiao Zhi's heart thumped twice, and she resignedly took a spoonful of porridge and fed it to her mouth.

After eating, Qiao Zhi handed her the clothes she bought from the mall, and said that she would feel better after taking a bath after sleeping for so long.

Qiu Shui took the clothes and fully felt Qiao Zhi's eagerness to make up for her.

Get out of the hotel, drive to the hospital, see the doctor, have an imaging examination... Qiao Zhi's heart was not relieved until he heard the words "in good condition" from the doctor's mouth.

After coming out of the hospital, the two walked to the parking lot. On the way, Qiao Zhi asked her where she lived now, and Qiu Shui reported the address, and the conversation was considered complete.Because there was nothing new to talk about, the two had no choice but to keep silent again.

……

The house Qiushui lived in was an old western-style building. Opposite the building was the back gate of the park in the middle of the street, separated by a quiet path about two cars wide, with tall sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road.

"I'm here." Qiu Shui said.

Qiao Zhi said "Hmm", and felt that she should say something to keep her, but she couldn't think of anything, so she could only watch in a daze as the passenger in the passenger seat loosened his seat belt and opened the car door.

"Goodbye." Qiu Shui waved to her.

Qiao Zhi looked at the light green veil dress with a bodice on her body, lamented her good eyesight in her heart, sighed, and raised her hand to say goodbye to her.

Qiushui went upstairs.

There was a scent of grass and trees in the carriage, which was the smell of Qiu Shui.Qiao Zhi sniffed the smell, feeling very tormented.On the one hand, she was unwilling to leave just now; but on the other hand, there was a voice in her heart complaining that she shouldn't have such nostalgia.

This voice that constantly monitored her thoughts and emotions appeared about a year after Qiu Shui left. At that time, she had already completely lost Qiu Shui's whereabouts. Once she came back from a business trip, she was too tired, so she subconsciously reported to the driver. I regretted the address of "Yushui Garden" when I arrived.

That night she stayed in the Qiushui room inexplicably, and the bedding hadn't been changed for a long time, so she just slept like that, and the tip of her nose was lingering with a scent of grass and trees all night.For two months after that night, she sank into a kind of deadly self-doubt.Gradually, she began to miss the little girl who left her uncontrollably. She remembered her tears, her passionate love, and the fiery but cold kiss when the two finally parted... The voice in her heart was Appeared at this time.From then on, whenever she indulged once, that voice would mercilessly accuse her once, and this contradiction once became her own sin.

Time passed in seconds.

Qiao Zhi's palms on the steering wheel were almost lost in thought.

She didn't know what was the point of her delay in leaving?But such self-examination has no effect, and no answer means no answer.She was frustrated, bored, and had nowhere to vent.The cigarette case was thrown away by her long ago, and her willpower to quit smoking was quite strong in the past half month, but the price was that she also suffered from insomnia for half a month, and her emotions were always uncontrollable and restless.

The sky gradually changed, and the street lights on the side of the road quietly turned on. Qiao Zhi looked at her watch and felt panicked. She didn't realize that she had sat in the car for more than two hours.

The sensibility has been arrogant all afternoon, and the suppressed rationality revived and ordered her to ignite the fire.

The phone suddenly rang——

Qiao Zhi picked it up and took a look, then immediately turned off the fire again.

"Hey?"

"Where are you?" Qiu Shui asked.

Qiao Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately looked around in all directions, but couldn't give an answer in a murmur.At this moment, the other party seemed extremely patient, Qiao Zhi had no choice but to tell a lie: "I'm still downstairs at your house." After finishing speaking, he hurried back to make amends, "I fell asleep! No I know what's going on and I'm a little sleepy—"

"I'm hungry." Qiu Shui interrupted her. "If you haven't left, can you come up and cook me a meal? I haven't eaten for a long time."

Qiao Zhi was stunned, and then pursed her lips, which was a subconscious action she would make when restraining the joy in her heart.

"Is there any food at home?" Qiao Zhi asked.

The rustling of slippers came from the phone——

"There are still a few Shanghai greens, a carrot, two potatoes, half a cabbage, some eggs, a piece of meat, and then... it's gone." Qiu Shui reported everything.

There was a faint sound of a car door being slammed into the receiver.

"Which floor do you live on?"

Qiu Shui closed the refrigerator door, lowered her eyelashes slightly: "The second floor."

The clock on the wall was ticking, and inside and outside the house, someone's heartbeat was chaotic.

"I'm here, open the door."
