MTL - I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law-Chapter 562 but i still love you
Although Lin Xingruo was a little slow to react, she was not stupid. Based on what Qiao Qiao said, she quickly understood Qiao Qiao's next plan.
Lin Xingruo's eyes widened in disbelief: "Are you really going to come this far?"
Qiao Qiao responded, "Yes."
"But you are so selfish, think about it carefully..." Lin Xingruo was excited, and stretched out his hand to grab Qiao Qiao's arm, trying to persuade her.
Qiao Qiao was in pain, frowned slightly, and reminded Lin Xingruo: "You hurt me."
Lin Xingruo didn't realize that she suddenly became agitated. She let go of her hand, but her expression was not very good. She was a little angry and repeated the sentence: "You are too selfish."
Qiao Qiao asked Lin Xingruo, "Tell me, what is selfishness?"
Lin Xingruo's tone was a bit extreme: "There is nothing in this world that is more important than your own relatives. Your decision is too selfish. You didn't consider your uncle and aunt at all. At their age, how do you let them accept this fact?"
Qiao Qiao's expression was indifferent: "It does appear that I am selfish."
Lin Xingruo said loudly: "Ben! Come! Just! Yes!"
"But so what?" Qiao Qiao asked back.
Lin Xingruo was speechless for a moment.
Qiao Qiao closed her neckline, took a deep breath, and looked at the dark night in silence.
Lin Xingruo's eyes turned red, she knew it was useless to say anything, even if she threatened Qiao Qiao to tell her uncle and aunt what she knew tonight, it would not change Qiao Qiao's decision.
She is very clear that Qiao Qiao has really thought about this last step.
-
In the following time, Qiao Qiao's schedule and emotional state were well adjusted.
In the deep blue, she will kill all directions, be a worry-free granddaughter in front of Mr. Qiao, and a daughter who will fulfill her filial piety in front of Qiao's father and mother.
She seems to have grown a lot all at once.
Sensible, capable, filial, and the most important thing, she has done everything.
She is so perfect that no one can pick a thorn, but in her eyes, there is no vitality in the past. Especially when alone, in a corner where no one sees, those eyes, which are usually the most vivid, seem to be dead silent in the mud of the abyss.
But no one knows that she is pitiful.
People will only feel that the little girl who was undisciplined and flamboyant has finally grown into a qualified adult, and she has lived the life everyone expects.
Qiao Qiao counted the days, living through each day in pain.
Finally, it was her birthday.
After midnight, several WeChat messages popped up one after another, and she opened them one by one.
Li Xiwu: [Qiaoer, happy birthday, may you be safe, may you be healthy, and may you be carefree every day. ]
Li Xiwu: transfer 8888.88
The next one is the blessings and red envelopes sent by Qiao's mother at one o'clock.
The next one is Joe's father's blessing and red envelope.
She accepted the transfers one by one, and then replied one by one. Mother Qiao told her to go to bed quickly, and Li Xiwu sent her a good night emoji.
Qiao Qiao swipe up, and her fingertips rest on Shao Jingmo's WeChat avatar. There is no movement, no news. She didn't give up and opened it, the chat history on the page was still more than ten days ago.
Apart from this, there are no new WeChat messages.
Qiao Qiao sighed, knowing in her heart that he would not send her any more messages, but she still couldn't help but look forward to it.
Haven't seen him for more than ten days.
Don't know how he is now.
‘嗡’
A notification tone comes from the mobile phone.
Qiao Qiao's quiet heartbeat was beating fast at this moment. She immediately picked up the phone and turned it on. She looked forward with anticipation, but what she saw was not the news she wanted to see. The smile immediately disappeared from the corner of her mouth, as if it never existed.
Qiao Qiao sighed again.
It was not a WeChat message from him.
After replying to other people's wishes, she threw away the phone, hugged the pillow and turned over, and then buried her face in the quilt.
Time passed by one minute and one second.
She never felt sleepy.
Counting the time silently in her mind, she seemed to want to use this method to urge herself to fall asleep as soon as possible. After an unknown amount of time, when she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she heard the vibrating sound again.
‘嗡’
Qiao Qiao opened her eyes suddenly.
Her eyes were very clear, and the drowsiness that had been brewing with great difficulty just now disappeared instantly when the reminder sounded.
She stretched her arms and got up to look for her mobile phone. After searching for a long time in the quilt, she suddenly gave up. In fact, she knew in her heart that it wasn't him, but she always had a little expectation every time.
After anticipation, comes disappointment.
After hesitating for a moment, she chose to continue to be disappointed, took out her phone, and clicked on the page.
The next second, Qiao Qiao sat up suddenly.
Holding the phone in her hand, her face was full of unbelievable surprises. This time...it was really a WeChat message from Shao Jingmo! !
Mo: [Happy birthday, Qiao 姽 姽. ]
At this moment, there are no words to describe Qiao Qiao's mood.
She bit her lip and closed her eyes tightly, the joy in her heart almost broke through the sky.
She quickly read the WeChat message sent by Shao Jingmo several times, then found his phone number and dialed it.
It rang a few times, and Qiao Qiao answered the phone in a very anxious mood, with a very deep and magnetic voice: "Why haven't you slept yet?"
Qiao Qiao suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said in a tone that sounded very calm: "Insomnia, can't sleep."
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds.
Qiao Qiao raised it to her throat, worried that he would hang up the phone. Ever since he said he didn't love her, he had been in a bad temper, and he had no patience with her.
He was using his way to push her away, far, far away.
Fortunately, although it was quiet for a long time, he did not hang up the phone.
After he was silent, he asked her: "Have you been insomnia lately?"
Qiao Qiao's voice responded softly: "Yes."
He asked, "Because of what?"
Qiao Qiao's voice was somewhat sullen: "I don't know."
He didn't ask any more questions.
The clock on the wall was close to 00:24, the room was too dark, Qiao Qiao turned on a bedside lamp, leaned against the bedside table, held the phone tightly, and waited for his next sentence.
When it is too quiet, any slight sound will be amplified several times, and Shao Jingmo heard the sound of her turning on the light.
His voice softened a bit: "Drink some milk before going to bed to help you sleep."
Qiao Qiao didn't respond.
He was silent for a few seconds, and then said to her: "Happy birthday, Joe."
Qiao Qiao took a deep breath and replied, "Thank you, little uncle."
"Live well," he said.
Qiao Qiao's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly: "Okay."
"Hang up," he said.
Hearing the voice fade away, Qiao Qiao knew that he should have put away the phone, so she suddenly called out: "Little uncle!"
There was silence for a moment.
Qiao Qiao took down the phone and stared at the screen, waiting for his response every minute, for fear that he would hang up the phone quickly again.
"Huh?" He put the phone back to his ear, and the hmm sounded less impatient than she imagined.
so far so good.
With a strong nasal voice, she said to him now: "I want to ask you another question."
Shao Jingmo's voice was as gentle as before: "Ask."
Qiao Qiao asked him: "Will we meet again?"
It wasn't an unexpected question, nor was it a new question. Although he had asked the same question before, he never answered it directly.
But this time, Shao Jingmo pondered for a while, and gave her a positive answer: "I won't see you again, forget everything before."
Qiao Qiao's heart choked.
"...I, I will forget." Qiao Qiao stabilized her voice and said that sentence completely: "But I still love you."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Qiao Qiao took the initiative to hang up the call first.
Holding the dead phone, her eyes were red, and she had a sleepless night.
Stayed up until four o'clock in the morning, she went to wash her face and hair, changed into a beautiful dress, and put on a delicate makeup.
The reefs by the sea are slippery and not suitable for wearing high heels, so she changed to a pair of flat shoes.
It was past five o'clock after she had dressed up carefully. She didn't take her mobile phone, and went out in the night with empty hands.
Two hours later.
Qiao Qiao stood on the fence of the house by the sea and looked out. The wind and waves at six o'clock in the morning were bigger than she expected. The waves beat into white foam and floated layer by layer on the reef.
The boss who came behind said: "Today is a typhoon, and the wind and waves are too strong to go out to sea."
Qiao Qiao pointed to the cruise ship in the distance, and asked, "Isn't that cruise ship going to sea today?"
The boss looked in the direction Qiao Qiao pointed, and then shook his head: "That is not in my control, the route generated by the typhoon is shown on the health cloud map. Going to sea under such circumstances is a joke with life."
Qiao Qiao turned her gaze back and asked, "Then what if you are going to the high seas? Can you come back?"
The boss took a look at Qiao Qiao and said in a word: "The chance of coming back is very small."
