Failed to keep distance from rival

After a night, Chi Shuo didn't wait for a reply. When he woke up in the morning, Chi Yue looked at himself in the glasses and found that his eyes were swollen like walnuts.

She sighed softly, went to the kitchen and boiled two eggs to put on her eyes.

Not only because of crying, but also because she didn't sleep well, her eyes were so swollen that she could only narrow her eyes.

I don't know how long it took, and the feeling was not so sour, so Chi said that he stopped moving, holding the egg in his hand and rubbing it gently.

Chi said that she was actually not sure if she fell in love with He Lindi again, the girl she liked the most in her youth, but the only thing she could be sure of was that she couldn't do this anymore.

He Lindi is still charming, still dazzling, still shining, the gap with her is still big, still far away, still out of reach.

Chi said that he was able to find his own position.

If we say that the secret love in the past was a small bud that emerged from a dark corner that no one knew about, and was blown by the wind and rain until it completely withered before it grew up, then the current situation is... this The wilted little shoots seem to be reborn.

But Chi said that he had decided not to let it have a chance of coming back to life.

Because she and He Lindi...impossible.

This result does not need to be practiced to know, and the reason can be clearly understood at a glance.

Fortunately, there is still time to cut off this liking, Chi said sniffling, and made up his mind that he will not send any news to He Lindi recently, and even if He Lindi comes back, she will continue to keep a distance from He Lindi.

Instead of failing to keep a distance like a few days ago, Chi said that he felt that his decision to keep a distance from He Lindi was very correct, because once He Lindi got in touch with her, no one would dislike her, and this liking In Chi Shuo's case, it would directly lead to a secret love.

Therefore, Chi said that today she took a rare trip back to her home, where she hadn't been back for a long time.

Chi said that he didn't say hello to Chi's mother in advance, so he carried a schoolbag and arrived at the gate of the community.

This family has been here since she was born. From the outside, this building obviously has some traces of time. Even the gate of the community has a mottled look. The security guard who knew her chatted for a few words, and then officially entered the place where she had stayed for nearly 21 years.

Although the community is old, the environment downstairs is being refurbished. Chi said that the location of the center has been replaced by a sandpit for residents to exercise.

Now there are a few old men sitting on stone benches playing chess. Chi said that when passing by, he also recognized two people who used to give him candy, and they also recognized her, and immediately put down the chess in their hands and moved towards Chi said and waved, beckoning her to go over while showing his false teeth with a smile: "Xiaochi girl, come quickly."

Chi said walked over and asked, "Grandpa Tong, long time no see."

The one who let her go was Tong Jijin's grandfather, who lived across from their house and used to come and go a lot.

"Are you going to go tonight? Girl Xiaochi."

"Have a meal at our house?"

"The old lady at home misses you."

The old people around also smiled kindly at her, Chi said neither agreed nor refused: "I don't know yet, let's see the situation?" She smiled, "I'm going home first."

Grandpa Tong nodded, and quickly said: "Okay, okay, you go home first, and then you must come over." He pointed to the chessboard in front of him, "I'll go back after playing two more games."

"it is good."

This neighborhood is very old, so there must be no elevators. Chi Shuo lives on the third floor, which is neither too high nor too low. When he arrived at the door, Chi Shuo was not even out of breath. He took out his key and prepared to open the door.

But the key wouldn't go in at all.

Chi said: "..."

Her mother changed the locks when she was not going back.

Chi said that he took out his mobile phone and called her mother.

As soon as the call was answered, Chi Shuo asked straight to the point: "Mom, where are you now? I'm back, but I can't get in."

"Where else can I be?" Chi's mother's tone was still the same, "Finally you know how to come back to see me, an old woman?"

Chi said with a sigh: "Where are you old woman?" She said, "Then I'll get the key."

The place where Chi's mother stays is nothing more than a mahjong hall. Playing mahjong is Chi's mother's greatest hobby in her life. A resident in the community discovered a "business opportunity" before and changed their home into a community mahjong hall, and Chi's mother suddenly became members of this club.

As long as you are not at home, you must be here.

Chi said that he went to this small mahjong place. The house layout was the same as that of Chi said their home, except that there were machine mahjong tables in the slightly vacant places. As soon as he said that, he heard the sound of playing cards out.

She stood there for a few seconds, took two deep breaths, and then she was mentally prepared again, and walked forward.

Before he went in, Chi Shuo heard an aunt who was watching the game of cards and said to her while eating melon seeds: "Chi girl is back?"

Chi said nodded: "Yes." She raised the corners of her lips, "Aunt Ren, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your spirit is still so good."

This Auntie Ren waved her hand, saying she refused but smiled happily: "No way!" She pointed to Chi's mother who was still playing mahjong deftly, "Your mother is the one, and she hasn't changed in all these years."

Chi said, keeping a smile, walked forward slowly, stood beside his mother, and looked down slightly at Chi's mother who didn't give him a look: "Mom, the key."

Mother Chi opened her drawer containing money, and gave her a bunch of keys: "The biggest one."

"it is good."

Mother Chi still glanced at her, frowning, as if she was not very happy: "What are you doing back?"

"I'll come back and have a look."

"Heh." Chi said when she heard her mother's sneer, she didn't take it seriously, left the room, and returned to the door of her own house.

She opened the door, put the key on the cabinet in the entrance according to the old habit, changed her shoes and went into her bedroom.

This is her room, and many of the furnishings in it have not changed, but it can be seen that Mother Chi is still cleaning her room and changing her sheets when she is not at home.

Chi said that his heart was still a little softer, and he lifted the quilt and began to catch up on sleep.

I don’t know if the bed at home is more comfortable or it’s the bed she’s been sleeping in for 21 years after all. Chi said that she slept very soundly during the afternoon nap. If it wasn’t for the loud movement of Chi’s mother coming back, she might have slept through the night .

Chi's mother opened her bedroom door directly, and said angrily to her: "Chi said, are you staying here tonight?"

Chi said that he rubbed his eyes, and instead of saying "This is my house too", he nodded his head in a daze: "Yeah."

"..." Mother Chi said again, "Get up quickly! Like a pig, let's see what time it is?"

Chi said that he put down his hands and turned his head to look at her, and shouted, "Mom." She said, "Go ahead and scold me."

Mother Chi's lips moved, and before closing the door, she uttered two words: "Nervous."

The door closed again, Chi said that he lowered his head, and the corners of his lips slowly curved.

The purpose of her coming back this time is to seek scolding, because this will make her sober up a lot. After all, she was beaten up because of He Lindi before, even though Chi Mu and the others didn't know that this matter had nothing to do with He Lindi. Di, and He Lindi himself didn't know about it at all.

fair enough.

Chi said he got out of bed, and when he left the bedroom, he saw Chi's mother lying on the sofa, eating fruit and watching videos.

Chi said that as soon as he took two steps, Chi's mother seemed to have eyes behind her, and said, "Go and cook, there are vegetables in the refrigerator, you can look for yourself."

Chi said "En", and responded, "Okay, I got it."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Mother Chi said to her, "Go and open the door."

Chi said walked over, took a look through the cat's eyes, then opened the door, she smiled and said, "Grandpa Tong."

The person who came was Tong Jijin's grandfather whom he met when he came back. He said to Chi and extended an invitation: "Miss Xiaochi, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Chi said, "I'm going to do it."

"Then don't do it!" Grandpa Tong laughed, "Call your mother up and come to our place for dinner. We just finished cooking."

After he finished speaking, he shouted to Chi's mother in the living room: "Xiao Yu, come and eat, the old woman and I have already prepared."

Chi's mother's surname is Yu, which is what Grandpa Tong usually calls her.

Mother Chi didn't mean to refuse at all, she immediately got up and put on her slippers, and said with a smile, "How embarrassing this is."

Chi said "..."

Chi said that he knew that the reason why his mother would not refuse was that Tong’s family was rich, but Chi said that it was not a coincidence that he came back this time. Tong Jijin had already reported to the university and would come back tomorrow for the National Day, and Tong Jijin’s parents were working outside all year round. Business.

We talked about this matter during dinner, and Grandpa Tong said: "When will girl Xiaochi go back? Why don't you go back later? Xiaotong called us and said that he had a holiday at eleven o'clock in the morning and arrived in Yuncheng at three o'clock in the afternoon. If you Don't rush to leave, you can wait for him to come back, and he will take you back."

Before Chi said an answer, Chi's mother stepped forward and said, "She's leaving tomorrow night, don't worry, don't worry."

Chi said: "..."

She accepted her mother's wink, and nodded under the expectant eyes of Grandpa Tong and Grandma Tong: "Yes, I'll leave tomorrow night."

Grandma Tong has gray hair and smiles happily: "That's good, boy, when he calls, he often asks if you're back, for fear that we won't take good care of you."

Chi said that his lips were slightly pursed.

On Sunday afternoon, Tong Jijin really came back.

Before Chi's mother went to play mahjong, she specifically asked Chi to take good care of Tong Jijin, and told her not to make a face, not to wash fruit for others, etc. Chi said that he was overwhelmed.

It was Tong Jijin who knocked on the door. Chi said that he was still leaning on his bed, looking at the comic books he bought when he was a child. Because it was too long ago, he couldn't recall the plot, so Chi said he simply re-read it.

When seeing Tong Jijin, Chi said that he saw the sweat on his face, and his skin color was obviously different from his.

Chi said with a smile, beckoning him in, and said, "I still don't believe you when you tell me you've been blackmailed, but now that I see you in person, I have no choice but to believe it."

Tong Jijin smiled twice, scratched the back of his head awkwardly, and asked cautiously, "Then do you think he's handsome?"

Chi said that he nodded as a matter of course: "What's not handsome with a complexion that has been tortured by military training?" She added specifically, "Boys after military training are pretty handsome."

I don't know if Tong Jijin can hear the implication, but Chi said it means that in her eyes, Tong Jijin is as handsome as everyone else.

"That's fine." Tong Jijin took the water that Chi said to pour him.

Chi said that she brought him another wet tissue and handed it in front of him: "Wipe off your sweat." She was a little puzzled, "Is it so hot today?"

Tong Jijin coughed lightly: "No, I'm just in a hurry to go home."

Chi said with a smile: "The people at home are always there, so don't worry."

But Tong Jijin's eyes changed: "But you..." He lowered his head slightly, his ears turned red, "But you can go."

Chi said that he pretended not to see his appearance, and continued to chat with him as a "sister": "If you want to come to me, it's okay, anyway, I'm also your sister."

Tong Jijin pinched the water glass, his lips parted: "Is that so..."

Chi said that she knew what he was thinking, but she couldn't help but hint at any time that Tong Jijin had already gone to college, and he would meet more, better, and better girls in college, and he could talk about beautiful things in college. Campus romance instead of wasting time on her.

not worth it.

In the evening, Chi said that she refused to let Tong Jijin take her back. She still didn't want to reveal her address, and she didn't want Tong Jijin to go back alone again.

Tong Jijin didn't insist this time, so he sent her to the gate of the community, watched her get into the taxi and went back.

During the day and a half of staying at home, Chi said that it was very effective. At least she didn't think of He Lindi as frequently as before, and she never sent any message to He Lindi again.

Chi said that she didn't know if it was because she became an adult and her control was stronger than before. She seemed to be able to "do what she said".

If you say you don't like He Lindi any more, then you must really dislike him.

Work is not so busy anymore, and Chi said that he has done other things to make his life more fulfilling.

The camera that He Lindi gave her had already been put back into the box. Once He Lindi's birthday passed, she never took it out again. What she does now after get off work is to learn to draw.

She bought an iPad of the largest size and several books on drawing and painting, and when she got home, she soaked in it and studied it.

Day by day, Chi Shuo's painting skills have been greatly improved.

The latest picture she drew is Zeng Guai. This is Zeng Guai who sent a selfie for her to draw and practice. Chi said that the drawing is in anime style. If you just look at the face, no one will know that it is Zeng Guai Yes, but with the addition of hair color and moles on the face, it will be easier to recognize.

When Chi Shuo first started studying, Zeng obediently looked at the picture that Chi Shuo sent him, and almost couldn't help but beat Chi Shuo violently.

But now more than a month has passed, and Zeng Guai's satisfaction level is getting higher and higher, especially for tonight's picture, Zeng Guai not only saved it, but also sent a thumbs up to Chi Shuo in the group emoticons.

Zeng Guai: [Talk about it. 】

Xia Zhou followed suit: [Talk about it. 】

Chi said stretched his waist, and typed: [I think I can take orders after practicing. 】

Chi said that the purpose of learning painting is nothing else, but to master this skill and then use it to earn extra money. She is actually very satisfied with her current salary, but she still feels that it is not enough.

Making money is the important thing, and the rest is sidelined.

Chi said that she only wanted to become a rich woman as soon as possible, and then buy a nice house in Yuncheng.

Zeng obediently encouraged her: [Sure! 】

Chi said that there was a smile on the corner of his lips, and when he saw the message Xia Zhou sent, his smile froze.

Xia Zhou: 【Ake said that his sister will be back tomorrow. 】

tomorrow?Chi said that he glanced at the date, November NO.19.

Chi said he didn't move, and saw Zeng Gua post a message in the group: [Wow!I'm going to give her a call now!Ask her what time she comes to work! 】

After about a minute, Zeng Gua said in the group again: [My day, Didi got through on the phone, I chatted with her, she said she would come to work tomorrow. 】

Xia Zhou: [Ahhh! 】

Chi said he had nothing to say, just said: 【I'm going to take a shower first. 】

When did He Lindi say that he was going to travel? It seems to be September NO.19?Chi said that he couldn't remember clearly, but if it was true, then He Lindi was really punctual enough, if it was two months, it would be two months.

If you are still in a bad mood, you can continue to ask for longer leave willfully, can't you?

Then coming back this time means that the mood has almost recovered, doesn't it?

"Forget it." Chi said to himself, "I have nothing to do with the rain."

However, it was precisely because of the news that He Lindi was coming back that Chi Shuo realized that it was now the end of autumn.

The weather has turned cold, and there are ginkgo trees planted on the streets of Yuncheng. Chi said that every day when he takes the bus, he can see the leaves swaying in the wind, as if to say "help me, I don't want to fall".

Today is no exception. I saw the swaying ginkgo leaves again. After looking all the way, I arrived at the station.

Chi said that listening to music with headphones on, the sun was not as arrogant as Xia Tian, ​​so she didn't open an umbrella anymore.

After walking about ten steps, she was patted on the shoulder. Chi said and looked to the side, and Xia Zhou's successful prank laughter came from the other side: "Why do you always fall for it?"

Chi said that he took off the earphones and raised the corners of his lips: "Leave it to you."

The two walked towards the office building side by side.

Enter the elevator, get out of the elevator, clock in, and sit down at the workstation.

Chi said that he has a good schedule. He falls asleep at 07 o’clock every night and gets up at 30:[-] in the morning. He sleeps steadily for more than eight hours a day, and after waking up, he has to have breakfast before going out. He is so healthy that he can’t be any healthier.

Therefore, her complexion is much better than before, at least there is no dark circle under her eyes anymore. During these times, Han Yu also invited her to stay overnight, but Chi said that she refused on the ground of "wanting to paint". .

Han Yu is very supportive of her development of her hobbies and sideline business. She has never sent such an overnight invitation again, and even often goes to Chi Shuo's house to see how Chi Shuo's painting progress is.

Today is NO.19. On Monday, Chi Shuo didn't feel like he didn't want to go to work at 01:30, and he was full of energy during the morning meeting.

During the meeting, the supervisor talked about the work content for the next two months, because it was going to be the end of the year, and they would naturally be busy. After that, they might send people on business trips or study in other companies, and asked them to do a good job first. One's own job, when the time comes, follow the arrangement.

Near the end of the year, there are almost one more event, even their company has arranged an event this time, and invited more than [-] artists to participate, but the time is in January, and there are still about two months to prepare, and this The activity told Chi that they had nothing to do with them, other departments of the company were busy.

After the morning meeting, Chi said that he took the quilt to get a glass of warm water.

The humidity in Yuncheng is not enough, it's a little dry, if she doesn't pay attention to moisturizing and doesn't drink water, she will easily get nosebleeds.

After a while, Zeng Guai slid her chair to Chi Shuo's side again, and she asked quietly, "Tell me, are you going to find Didi at noon?"

Chi said looking at his computer screen, raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to go?"

Zeng obediently widened her eyes: "She's back!"

Chi said "Oh", "What does that have to do with me?"

"Aren't we friends with her?"

"I'm not with her."

"We're just ordinary colleagues."

Zeng Guai felt incredible: "Ah? Really?"

"I'm quite busy." Chi said his fingers were tapping the keyboard constantly, "I don't have time."

"Okay..." Despite the shock in his heart, Zeng Gua returned to his place.

Chi said that he didn't lie and didn't find a reason to prevaricate Zeng Gua. She was indeed busy because the supervisor called her into the office and assigned her a new task.

It's another business trip, this time to the city of Mi, and what I want to do is not an interview, but a crush on an actress named Xiang Qingya, asking her to agree to participate in the company's event two months later.

This Xiang Qingya is the newly promoted actress of the Golden Tree Awards. She is low-key and has no bad rumors. So far, many event organizers have invited her, but she has not gone to any of them. Xinyue wants her Take it, it will be very beneficial to the company.

Until noon, Chi said he was thinking about it.

Xia Zhou and Zeng Gua came in from the outside, with the same ugly expressions.

Chi said, "What's going on? Who bullied you two?"

Zeng Guai's eyes turned red, and he said, "Didi is so strange now."

Chi said that his expression didn't change at all, he just asked back, "Really?"

"Yeah..." Xia Zhou propped his chin on one side, his eyes looked not sober, as if he hadn't recovered yet, "There doesn't seem to be any change in appearance, except that the highlighted blue hair has faded, but... ..."

Zeng Gua continued: "But she doesn't smile much anymore, the corners of her mouth used to be raised no matter what, but when she saw the two of us at noon, she called our names very calmly, and there was no more. "

Xia Zhou sighed: "Did something happen to you? It really makes me uncomfortable to look at it like this now."

Chi said that he pursed his lips, but still didn't say anything. Xia Zhou and Zeng Guai looked at each other, then Zeng Gua mustered up his courage and asked Chi, "Tell me, did you quarrel with Didi?" ?”

Chi said with a chuckle: "Is she worthy?"

The author has something to say: Chi · Ruthless and Indifferent · Said
