"I'm jealous of you." Xu Ziqing's expression was calm, but what he said was completely opposite to his expression. "You know Lian Yi in the past, you know a lot of things I don't know, and you have memories with her that I can't get involved in."

Xu Dairou didn't speak.

"You obviously have many opportunities to express your feelings, much more than me." Xu Ziqing rarely expressed his inner thoughts, and fully expressed his jealousy and unwillingness on his face. "If I could get to know Lian Yi earlier, I don't think that kind of man will be allowed to get close to her."

"So what if we met early? As a good friend and best friend, can you still restrain Lianyi from making boyfriends?" The words were addressed to Xu Ziqing, but they sounded more like Xu Dairou's self-mockery. "Not everyone can be as brave as you to pursue the person you like."

Xu Dairou clenched the blanket beside him tightly, his voice seemed to be trembling slightly.

"So, you plan to keep your intentions hidden?"

"You know it won't be accepted, so why bother to say it."

"How do you know you won't be accepted if you haven't said anything yet?"

"Aren't you afraid that Lian Yi will reject you?" Seeing Xu Ziqing condescendingly, a wave of anger rose up. It seemed that his voice was very low, but the dissatisfaction in Xu Dairou's words could still be heard. "What you like is a woman, a woman of the same gender as yourself, are you really mentally prepared?"

Xu Dairou admired Xu Ziqing's persistence and courage. She couldn't do it, but she was also very strange. Judging from Xu Ziqing's attitude, she didn't seem to have any taboos about falling in love with the same sex. Her relatives and friends accepted this kind of thing. Is it very high?She is obviously a public figure, has she never considered the exposure of her relationship?

If Xu Ziqing had never considered these things, even if Lian Yi really liked her, Xu Dairou would not agree with them being together.

"What psychological preparation do I need?" Xu Ziqing didn't take it seriously at all. "I like Lianyi, I want to be with Lianyi, I am willing to do anything for this, what else do you want?"

Xu Dairou was momentarily speechless by her words, and only spoke after a moment of contemplation.

"Have you considered what will happen after you get together? Will your parents accept Lianyi? And Lianyi's parents..."

"My brother has always known that I like Lianyi, and there will be no problem with my parents. As for Lianyi's parents, I will persist until they accept me."

Xu Dairou looked at her in surprise, unexpectedly Xu Ziqing's brother knew all along.

"Relaxed?" Xu Ziqing raised the corners of her lips, she understood Xu Dairou's purpose for asking these words.

Xu Dairou rolled her eyes.

"Are you sure about your rival?"

Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows, what he said made sense.

"Have you finished what you want to say?" Xu Dairou showed an impatient expression, and he no longer wanted to continue the conversation with Xu Ziqing.

"No." Xu Ziqing smiled. "I haven't said what I want to say the most."

"Then what was said earlier was a bunch of nonsense?"

"Foreshadowing." Xu Ziqing didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point. "I'm just here to encourage you to confess to Lianyi."

???

Xu Dairou resisted the urge to rush up and beat her up.

"What do you mean."

Xu Ziqing had already stepped forward to leave, as if he was planning to end the conversation.

"literal meaning."

She didn't intend to explain anything, she waved her hand and said good night and went back to her room, leaving Xu Dairou with a puzzled face.

The bright moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains in the living room. Xu Dairou sat on the sofa with a blanket in his arms and didn't move for a long time.

She never thought that she would be reduced to being encouraged by her love rival.

Xu Dairou understood Xu Ziqing's deep meaning.

If you don't say it now, when Lian Yi and Xu Ziqing are together, Xu Dairou will have no chance to express his heart.It's really infuriating to think about it, Xu Ziqing is so confident that he can be with Lian Yi.

Xu Dairou really hated this woman.

But I have to admit that Xu Ziqing sees it very clearly.

"Damn."

I'm really not reconciled.

☆. After beating Dashen with a frying pan

The New Year passed in a blink of an eye, and Xu Dairou had already lived in Lianyi's place for half a month. Although the vacation hadn't ended yet, her parents had already started urging her to go home.It’s fine if you’re not at home on New Year’s Eve, how can you not even celebrate the Lantern Festival?

Xu Dairou was naturally reluctant to part with Lianyi, but there was nothing he could do.She really couldn't let go of her family, her father was old, and her company couldn't do without Xu Dairou's help.

Recalling what Xu Ziqing said, Xu Dairou wanted to just go back without saying anything.

After the Chinese New Year, Lian Yi also started to look for a job, Xu Ziqing always went to N City and was often away, and Xu Dairou had a lot more opportunities to be alone with Lian Yi.And just yesterday morning, Xu Ziqing, who had just returned from N City, went into the house without changing his clothes and packed a few things, then hurriedly said goodbye to Lian Yi, saying that he would go back to his parents' house in Italy to stay for a few days.

Without Xu Ziqing around, Lian Yi seemed to be much more silent than usual. She was busy submitting resumes and calling for interviews every day, but since the new year was just over, there were not many companies recruiting people during this time period, so she couldn't find any suitable ones for a while. Work.

Xu Dairou suddenly thought that his company might provide Lian Yi with an opportunity, so he couldn't help mentioning it when he was washing dishes with Lian Yi.

"Hey?"

Lian Yi was very surprised.

"City B is also close to your hometown, so it's very convenient to go home, and you don't have to worry about housing when you work in City B. The two of us can share the rent together."

Xu Dairou didn't do it on a whim, she wanted to use this matter to ask Lian Yi's wishes, if she was willing to go to City B with Xu Dairou, it would prove that she only regarded Xu Ziqing as an ordinary friend, even if she left, she would not feel embarrassed.

if not……

"City B is indeed very close to my home..."

Lian Yi stared at the bowl in her hand, her movements slowed down, as if she was remembering something.

Xu Dairou's heartbeat accelerated because of Lianyi's pause, she was hesitating, did she want to or didn't want to?

"Dai Rou, thank you for your kindness." Lian Yi rinsed the bowl in her hand with clean water and put it aside. "If I want to work in City B in the future, how about asking you for help?"

Rinse and clean the chopsticks, Lian Yi wiped her hands, then turned her head and smiled at Xu Dairou.

Xu Dairou looked at her smile, and the feeling of loss slowly crept up the brows.

"Can you tell me why?"

Xu Dairou really wanted to ask her if it was because she was reluctant to part with Xu Ziqing, but she changed the words.

Lian Yi's body froze slightly, and the smile on her face remained unchanged, but she always felt that she didn't seem to want to explain the reason.

"Can't even I say it?"

As Lian Yi's best friend in college, Xu Dairou thought that she still had a certain place in Lian Yi's heart even though she hadn't contacted her for a while, so she shouldn't be embarrassed to say anything.

"No, it's my own problem." Lian Yi was afraid that she might misunderstand, so she hastily denied it. "I'd be happy to work in your father's company, but I don't want to leave here, and I don't want to go to city B..."

Xu Dairou stopped scrubbing the sink, looked at Lian Yi, and waited for her to explain, even if it was the last thing he wanted to hear.

"I like my current life very much, and I don't want to make any changes." Lian Yi took a long breath and confessed. "Dai Rou, do you still remember when you asked me in college if I wanted to find a job near City B after graduation? At that time, I was vague and didn't answer you directly."

Of course Xu Dairou remembered that she asked more than once, because she wanted Lian Yi to be closer to her so that she could see her more often.But Lian Yi kept saying that she didn't think about it. After the internship was over and the thesis was finalized, the two met again at the graduation defense, but Lian Yi said that she was going to N City to find a job.At that time, Xu Dairou's father's company encountered some problems, and she had promised him to go back to help.Each of them has decided on the path to go, and they have already taken the first step. Lian Yi will not change her decision for a good friend, and Xu Dairou will not be able to go to work in N City thousands of miles away for the person she likes.

It seems that they are destined not to be together, and they have been separated from each other since then.

How could Xu Dairou not remember these things?

"I work so far away from home on purpose." Recalling what happened when she just graduated, Lian Yi looked a little gloomy. "I hate my father, so I even went to a city far away from home for college. There was a ten-day holiday for the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. Didn't you ask me why I didn't go home? I was the only one left in the dormitory. , don’t worry, you still call me every day after you get home, asking if I’ve had a good meal.”

Recalling the college past with Xu Dairou, Lian Yi showed a gentle expression, it was a happy memory.

Xu Dairou remembered that Lian Yi said that she hated taking the train and didn't want to go back and forth, so she didn't go home.During that holiday, Xu Dairou didn't want Lian Yi to be alone all day, so she went back to school early to accompany her.Lian Yi was taken aback by Xu Dairou's sudden appearance in the dormitory.

"I came here to work to escape that family, so I won't go back."

It's just that even if he ran to a city so far away from home, he couldn't completely escape the control of his home.After her relatives learned that Lian Yi was looking for a job in N City, they watched her go through many companies, changing jobs again and again, but there was no stable one. Lian Yi was under a lot of pressure.Later, for a period of time, Lian Yi didn't find a suitable job for a long time, and was looking for opportunities while doing part-time jobs, and her relatives got the news from her mother.It happened that a relative knew the parents of Lian Yi's ex-boyfriend Zhang Bowen, knew that their son was working in Z City, and had acquaintances, so they asked Lian Yi to find a new job, which was the company where Lian Yi worked.
