Swapped with the soul of the "rival"

"Later, my dad was worried that I would disturb you again, so he sent me abroad. Even if I returned to China on vacation, he forbade me to go to you." Xie Jingqiu looked at the ground and talked about those difficult days in a calm tone.

At that time, she was looking forward to the holiday and returning to the country every day. Although she knew that she would not be able to see Qiao Yuan when she returned to the country, she still wanted to come back all the time.

She missed Qiao Yuan so much.The photo she asked for from Qiao Yuan shamelessly was molded and put in her wallet by her, and she had to look at it countless times every day.

But photos are photos after all, not real people.Photos can relieve the thirsty eyes, but not the itching of the heart.

After finally graduating from university, Xie Jingqiu planned to find Qiao Yuan full of expectations.Unexpectedly, Xie Hong's words shattered her expectations: "I hope you wait a while before looking for that girl. She has just stepped into society and her character is not mature enough. Your appearance may cause her troubles. Besides, now You have nothing, what can you do after you find her?"

Xie Jingqiu's enthusiasm was extinguished by Xie Hong's cold water. She looked at Xie Hong and asked calmly, "Why should I listen to you?"

"I'm doing it for your own good." Xie Hong said, "To tell you the truth, I don't want you to go find that girl. But if you do, I can't stop you, so I can only negotiate to keep you. You first help your brother in city b for three years. If you still like that girl after three years, I will allow you to find her and hand over the company in city h to you. Where is your mother? I will also try to convince her, what do you think?"

Xie Jingqiu, who had just graduated and had nothing but a diploma, compromised under Xie Hong's intimidation.

Three years, 1095 days, 26280 hours, every minute and every second, is suffering for Xie Jingqiu.

Sometimes she would think, why must she listen to Xie Hong?Wouldn't it be better if I went directly to Qiao Yuan with my wallet and luggage?

But usually, if she keeps this thought for less than 3 minutes, she will admit it again.She is no longer the girl who was reckless when she confessed a few years ago. After so many years of tempering, she has become calm and timid.

In fact, Xie Jingqiu held a negative attitude towards being with Qiao Yuan.

After all, we haven't seen each other for so many years, whether Qiao Yuan still remembers her is a problem, let alone likes her.In addition, Qiao Yuan rejected her a few years ago, so she couldn't guarantee that Qiao Yuan would accept her in a few years.

Meeting Qiao Yuan was just a hope she gave herself, a hope to live hard.

Counting down the days, Xie Jingqiu finally looked forward to the day when he would meet Qiao Yuan.Wearing deliberately selected clothes and delicate makeup, she walked to Qiao Yuan's work place in the name of doing business.

Her idea was very simple. First, she pretended to meet Qiao Yuan by chance. The two exchanged a few pleasantries, left their contact information, and then slowly drew closer.It's best to go out for a stroll or have a meal when you have nothing to do, so as to restore the relationship of close friends as soon as possible.

As for the subsequent development, it can only be resigned.

Helpless imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Xie Jingqiu saw Qiao Yuan coming out, just about to go up to "encounter", a man walked towards Qiao Yuan one step ahead of him.

Xie Jingqiu saw Qiao Yuan smiling at the man, saw the man greet Qiao Yuan, and saw them leave together holding hands until they were no longer in sight.

The sunset in the evening is beautiful, dyeing half of the sky red.Xie Jingqiu stood in the shadows like an ice cave.

In the end, Xie Jingqiu still didn't go to Qiao Yuan. Although she had thought about this person for eight years, once she thought that her appearance might disrupt Qiao Yuan's current life, she held back.

What if I went to find Qiao Yuan?What if the two return to a close friend relationship?Qiao Yuan already has her own happiness, it doesn't matter if she shows up or not.

Every night when lying in bed, Xie Jingqiu would think of the scene of Qiao Yuan holding that man's hand and leaving.Again and again, like masochistic.

She needs pain, pain means that she is still alive, she is still conscious, not a walking dead.

She comforted herself that at least she could still see Qiao Yuan now, and she had the ability to protect Qiao Yuan in secret.She has no expectations in her life, as long as Qiao Yuan lives smoothly and happily, she will have no regrets.

In the face of love, she was brave only once.It was that time that spent all her courage in her life.

Later, because of a cooperation, Xie Jingqiu met Wu Yang.Knowing that Wu Yang is Qiao Yuan's boyfriend, Xie Jingqiu gave him a lot of convenience while avoiding it.

In the end, I don't know whether she didn't say something right or gave her a wrong look, but Wu Yang started teasing her intentionally!

The moment he knew Wu Yang's intentions, Xie Jingqiu's lungs were about to explode.She was holding her dear baby in her palm for fear of falling, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting, yet she was treated like this!

Xie Jingqiu's first reaction at the time was to kill Wu Yang, ruining his reputation and ruining his family.But when she thought that Qiao Yuan might be implicated in the rectification of Wu Yang, she hesitated again.

This is Qiao Yuan's boyfriend, how to deal with it should be decided by Qiao Yuan.

So, under the banner of being good for Qiao Yuan and with ulterior motives, Xie Jingqiu tried every means to make Qiao Yuan aware of Wu Yang's abnormality.

Then, she officially met Qiao Yuan as the "little three", and then she and Qiao Yuan exchanged souls because of a car accident.

When he found out that he and Qiao Yuan had exchanged souls, Xie Jingqiu felt more joy than surprise.Be it ghosts, monsters, monsters or ghosts, as long as she can be with Qiao Yuan, even if it means going to hell, she is willing.

In the subsequent relationship, Xie Jingqiu was even more pleasantly surprised to find that Qiao Yuan was still interested in her.However, because of the lessons learned from the past, she is not sure whether this "meaning" is true, or she may be wrong.

Taking advantage of the bond between the two, Xie Jingqiu began to flirt with Qiao Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.Seeing Qiao Yuan's face full of shyness and deer bumping wildly, her heart was filled with happiness.

But Xie Jingqiu was not dazzled by this happiness, she knew that Qiao Yuan was avoiding her.Maybe it was because of fear, maybe because of resistance, although Qiao Yuan had feelings for her, she kept avoiding her.

Xie Jingqiu was in a dilemma. She didn't know whether she should take the opportunity to pull Qiao Yuan onto the "single-plank bridge", or let Qiao Yuan go on the easier "Yangguan Road".

Later, Qiao Yuan's sentence "I'm not a pervert, why should I like you" ended Xie Jingqiu's entanglement. It turned out that she never had a chance to choose.

------

Of course, Xie Jingqiu didn't intend to tell Qiao Yuan how happy or sad these years were, the past was all over after all, the important thing was the present.

"Yuanyuan," Xie Jingqiu looked up at Qiao Yuan with eager eyes, "You said before that you went to the rooftop to wait for me, is that true?"

Qiao Yuan looked back at her and nodded slowly.

Xie Jingqiu grabbed Qiao Yuan's hand and blurted out: "If I say I still love you and have always loved you, can you wait for me again?"

Qiao Yuan looked at Xie Jingqiu with complicated eyes.She wanted to say "no", but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.

"Xie Jingqiu," Qiao Yuan pulled out her hand, and put it in a more euphemistic way, "We can't go back anymore."

The light in Xie Jingqiu's eyes dissipated little by little with Qiao Yuan's finger pulling away, and finally returned to darkness: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive. Don't take that sentence to heart, just treat it as if you encountered a psychopath."

She stood up and wanted to smile, but she didn't: "Are you hungry, I'll cook."

Qiao Yuan watched Xie Jingqiu's leaving back, and wanted to call her several times, but in the end she didn't.

In fact, Qiao Yuan was not in a more relaxed mood than Xie Jingqiu.She had suffered so much, hated Xie Jingqiu for so long, and finally realized that she had hated the wrong person all along.

Qiao Yuan has her own theory of love-hate balance. In the past, she could ignore her love for Xie Jingqiu with hatred; now that the hatred is gone, how can she hide her love?

After eating dinner without taste, Xie Jingqiu continued to work in the study, while Qiao Yuan lay on the bed and chatted with Zhou Ning on WeChat.

Qiao Yuan first cared about Zhou Ning's situation. After learning that the trouble caused by Zhou Ning's brother had been resolved, she was relieved.

Qiao Yuan: When will you come back?

Zhou Ning: How?miss me?

Qiao Yuan: I have something to tell you.

Zhou Ning: What's the matter?

Qiao Yuan took the phone, typed and deleted, deleted and typed, and finally said succinctly: Xie Jingqiu confessed to me tonight...

Zhou Ning sent a series of exclamation points.

Qiao Yuan went on to say: But I rejected her.

Zhou Ning withdrew the exclamation point and sent a series of ellipsis.

Zhou Ning: What's going on?Have you explained clearly what happened back then?

Qiao Yuan replied with "um", and then sent a few voice messages, briefly describing what happened in the past few days.

After listening to the voice, Zhou Ning sighed: "Your things are too bloody, no one will watch it if it is made into a TV series."

Qiao Yuan: I'm telling you seriously!

Zhou Ning: You said, I listened.

Qiao Yuan: I think something is wrong.

Zhou Ning: What's wrong?

Qiao Yuan: It stands to reason that I rejected Xie Jingqiu, and we should avoid seeing each other again.But in this situation, we have to live together.It's really embarrassing to see each other every day.

Zhou Ning returned: What's so embarrassing, you just get along with her like before!You knew she liked you before, didn't you get along with her naturally?

Qiao Yuan was troubled: This is different, and she never confessed to me before!

Zhou Ning said: They are almost the same, anyway, you just need to play dumb.The boat will be straight when it arrives at the bridge. It’s useless to worry about some of these things, just let nature take its course.

Qiao Yuan looked at the words sent by Zhou Ning, and after coming over for a while, she said: Well, let nature take its course_(:3」∠)_

Zhou Ning sent a head-touching emoji: Good boy, I'll be back tomorrow.

Qiao Yuan asked: What time is your flight tomorrow?

Zhou Ning: Seven o'clock in the morning, maybe nine o'clock.When I get there, I'll go straight to you.

Qiao Yuan: Good.Then you go to bed early, you have to get up early tomorrow morning.

The two said goodnight to each other, and Qiao Yuan put down her phone and got ready to go to bed.

The desk lamp by the bed gave off a faint but warm light. Qiao Yuan looked in the direction of the study and whispered "good night".
