you may never have loved me

her brother.

This man who pretended to be innocent for more than 20 years.

He even gave his real mobile phone number to a stranger he had known for less than a day.What's more, this man is as ordinary as the most common sand on the beach, except for fascinating people's eyes when the wind blows, it has no other effect.

Qu Ling was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Brother."

It was rare for her sister to call him so seriously, Qu Lingxi felt it strange, and pricked up her ears a little.

Qu Ling lowered his voice and said to him in a very serious tone: "If you are kidnapped, just cough."

Qu Lingxi: "..."

He snapped the phone off.

The brother-in-law-to-be in Qu Lingxi's heart chuckled, "What's wrong with Ah Xi? You look so angry."

Qu Ling sighed, and said sadly: "I suspect he was hit by the head drop."

When he went upstairs, the proprietress once told him that the dinner time was between six o'clock and seven o'clock, and hoped that he would come down to eat on time.

In the good afternoon, Qu Lingxi took a slow bath, found a set of cotton pajamas from the pile of clothes, changed into it, and roughly brushed her hair without even draining the water from the ends of her hair. Step down the stairs.

With every step, the old wooden stairs made a "creaking" sound.At the last moment of its life, it finally couldn't help but let out a cry, reminding the owner to repair it as soon as possible.

While walking the stairs, he swiped the game with his mobile phone. In the eyes of some people, this is still a risky entertainment activity.

It was the familiar "be careful" that brought Qu Lingxi back to reality.He followed the sound and looked over, couldn't help being surprised

Yan Li stared at him intently, and when he glanced over, he showed a friendly smile just right.

That's what he said.

Qu Lingxi was not surprised by the appearance of Yan Li alone.When the proprietress of the homestay was explaining these things, Yan Li himself stayed by his side.

The B&Bs where the two lived were not far apart. It was a bit troublesome to find them for the first time because they were unfamiliar with the place. After remembering the way, they could walk there in more than ten minutes.

It is not surprising that Yan Li wants to have dinner with Qu Lingxi.

What surprised Qu Lingxi was that the downstairs hall was overcrowded and crowded instead of the deserted one in the afternoon.The guests found a seat spontaneously according to their relatives and distances, if Yan Li hadn't come early to reserve a seat for him.I'm afraid he won't even be able to eat today.

Too many people and almost no place to sit.

The movement of Qu Lingxi coming down is really a bit loud.

Those chatting, chatting, drinking, and smiling all raised their eyes and looked in the direction of the stairs.Most people just do this subconsciously, and then return to their own lives, only a few girls' eyes show a little surprise.After being amazed, he also calmed down.

Like the evening wind blowing leaves slightly, light boats blowing across the lake.There is movement, but fleeting.After being baptized by the gaze, Qu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have the habit of grandstanding, and he was glad that he rarely wore a pajamas that didn't look like pajamas at all.

Yan Li smiled and beckoned him to come down.

Qu Lingxi didn't refuse, and sat beside him, her arms under the thin fabric inevitably rubbed against Yan Li's suit.

Qu Lingxi adheres to the attitude of dressing as comfortable as possible.After he finished washing, he put on a pair of long sleeves that were two sizes too big, and the pants were also loose, like a beautiful boy in adult clothes.He had just come out of the foggy bathroom for less than 2 minutes, and there was still a bit of unwashed residue on his warm skin.

It's minty.

Very nice smell.

Yan Li thought that it was simply fascinating.

He thought about it, moved his fingers, and touched the foam on the back of Qu Lingxi's fair neck that was about to disappear automatically.

The touch is as soft as a caress.

Qu Lingxi: "..."

All his goosebumps came out, and his fine hairs stood up strongly after being greatly stimulated.

He tried his best not to hide, and when his neck touched the strange finger, he only shrank back slightly.But his five senses are not controlled by his brain.

Yan Li is the best at observing words and expressions, he noticed the disgust flashing across Qu Lingxi's face, his heart was beating several times, and he was very annoyed at his impulsive actions.

In the midst of chatting, the two suddenly fell into a stalemate. It was a bit embarrassing to be placed in a lively environment.

Yan Li tentatively poured some liquor into Qulingxi's pottery bowl, and as if nothing happened, Zhanyan said: "You should also know that this is the favorite ground sesame wine of the Liang people, drink it and see." .”

Yan Li thought that Qu Lingxi had always been reserved and arrogant.At most there is only a little bit of ambiguity between them, and it was something he worked hard for, and Qu Lingxi reluctantly gave it away.Today he made this kind of behavior abruptly, at best it sounds like teasing in friction and touch, at worst it is obscene and harassing.

Qu Lingxi should not be able to accept his behavior just now, and this simple and rude way of stepping down the stairs may not be able to impress him.Yan Li was ready for the other party's indifferent answer or silence.

Qu Lingxi just lowered her eyelids, although the whole person seemed to have suffered huge setbacks and grievances, but her expression had eased, and she hummed softly.

Yan Li thought he was having auditory hallucinations, and this sentence fell on his ears, even mixed with a trace of guilt and inaudible softness.If it wasn't for the fact that he and Qu Lingxi had never met before, Yan Li would almost suspect that Qu Lingxi was trying to make himself accept him, so he felt a little guilty for avoiding him just now.

But... there's no need.

Yan Li quickly put this ridiculous idea behind him.

According to what he said, Qu Lingxi took a sip of the wine, but before she could swallow it completely, she frowned immediately.

Yan Li laughed loudly and said, "Why are you so cute?"

Qu Lingxi didn't think she was cute.

Yan Li couldn't help laughing: "Is it a bit bitter?"

Qu Lingxi just shook his head: "I'm not used to drinking." He did as the Romans did, and half of the people in front of him were from Liangcheng. It was rare for him to swallow the word "drinkable" that he almost blurted out.

The last time Qu Ling gave him something strange to drink, he just said it was bad, and it was very real.

Unlike now, everything should be tactful and polite.

Liangcheng is rich in beef and mutton.Qu Lingxi is very picky. She is okay with beef and doesn’t like the smell of mutton. Every time the hot pot refuses to boil mutton, her roommate always complains bitterly: "Little Sheep is the soul of hot pot!"

So far, his roommate has not eaten hot pot soul for four years.

The delicious dishes are almost all hard dishes, such as hand-caught mutton, stewed vegetables, and steamed stuffed buns, but most of them are meaty and greasy.Others ate large pieces of meat and drank heavily, but after Qu Lingxi ate some, he was satisfied and stopped eating.

There is a plate of pine nuts in front of his desk, and there are disturbing noises in his ears.

Those slender and beautiful hands were peeling pine nuts non-stop, and the mechanized operation made the owner of these hands slightly fascinated.

I obviously gave him the number.

But why is this kind of simple touch still so taboo?

Qu Lingxi was lost in thought.

After regaining consciousness, Qu Lingxi felt that there were not a few pine nuts left in the whole plate.

Looking up, Yan Li had already peeled all the pine nuts of Qu Lingxi, and then placed the round and plump pine nuts on the gray porcelain plate.

He smiled and slowly pushed the plate towards Qu Lingxi.

Seeing Qu Lingxi in a daze, Yan Li pointed to the unpeeled pine nuts on his plate and joked, "Do you like them? I'll peel them for you too."

I love pine nuts.

But not particularly like you.

Qu Lingxi was silent for a moment, thinking that maybe, not bad, she likes him a lot?

Otherwise, why did you give him the number, or why did you feel so uncomfortable and didn't avoid his touch?Not to mention that Qu Ling couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out himself either, that's what happened.

Will he fall in love with him?

Yan Li is a good man, and he also ate the pine nuts he peeled.

If you don't talk about it, you'll look like a scumbag.

...But this is too fast.Qu Lingxi didn't think he was ready, he didn't even remember the lower half of Yan Li's face, only his beautiful eyes.

If you want to describe how beautiful it is, even better than the stars in the sky, that's not necessarily the case.That is a pair of inner eyes, the eyelids are narrow, narrow and long.He had searched for this eye shape on Baidu this afternoon, and it seemed to be called sleeping phoenix eye, because he was so lazy that he could not wake up, hence the name.

Qu Lingxi felt that Baidu was wrong, and it looked like he couldn't wake up.He didn't know how to describe it, he only had the words "good-looking" in his heart, as if he was born for his aesthetics.

He asked Yan Li if anyone praised these eyes, and Yan Li's response was obviously "yes, but not many." So it is impossible for the whole world to like it.

Just happened to hit myself.

The sky has been slowly sinking, and the incandescent lamps in the house illuminate the entire hall like daytime. The wine and dishes are warmed up, and the lingering smoke is curling up. The room is not very hot at first, but it is better because there are so many people and noisy, the whole space seems to be steaming.

Amidst the bustling laughter and chatter, there were a few hasty knocks on the old-fashioned wooden door.

An immature child's voice shouted: "Grandma, my grandma, open the door quickly."

Qu Ling regretted that only the proprietress she had seen in the afternoon came out of the kitchen in a hurry. Before she took off her oil-stained apron, she pulled the door latch and greeted her young son.

Unexpectedly, there were two men standing behind the youngest son, Qu Lingxi was not very curious, so he followed the eyes of most people in the hall to give alms.

It was too dark outside the house, and the distance was too far away, so I couldn't see the faces of the people who came. I could only tell that the two uninvited guests outside the door should be tall. .

With just one glance, Qu Lingxi lost interest.Although he wasn't short, he hadn't reached the threshold of 1.8 meters for a long time. When he met such a blessedly tall man, two of them came at once, and the gap between his teeth felt a little sour.

Yan Li is very good at this point, only one or two centimeters taller than him.Even if they fall in love and stand together in the future, they are a good match.

It's hot inside, but cold outside.As soon as the door was opened, the wind outside the house pierced mercilessly.Qu Lingxi didn't wear much at all, so it really felt a bit chilly.

There are quite a few people in this hall who have the same idea as Qu Lingxi. A woman at the next table shrugged her shoulders and said dissatisfiedly, "Close the door!"

The proprietress was only stunned for a moment, then immediately welcomed the people outside the house and closed the door tightly.

An unfamiliar atmosphere passed by Qu Lingxi with a hint of coolness.This line of people from outside was passing him behind.

Qu Lingxi was absent-mindedly eating the pine nuts that Yan Li peeled for him. From his angle, he could only catch a glimpse of a pair of leather military boots and braids protruding from the blanket.

It turned out that there were not only two men, but also a little girl who was injured and unconscious. She was tightly covered by her arms, so he didn't see it at first.

The braids in the world are similar, how can Qu Lingxi remember so many.But he only remembered this green hair rope that was so old that it was a bit frayed.

I just saw that little girl selling cigarettes today.There are not many people in the world who can tolerate a little green hair, so Qu Lingxi remembers it.

He still vaguely remembered that her pear dimples were beautiful.

What's wrong with this girl?Isn't it good in the afternoon?All this is like a cloud of fog.He was waiting to take a second look, when the pedestrian had already hurried upstairs, following in the footsteps of the proprietress.

There is a little boy sitting next to him, who came here with his parents.

He clapped his hands with a smile and said, "Mom, I know, Mom, we just wrote this poem silently."

Qu Lingxi heard a childish voice shaking his head and tail, saying like an adult: "The scene just now can be described in a poem."

His parents asked, "What poem?"

The child memorized it sternly: "The poems of Liu Changqing in the Tang Dynasty. Chaimen hears the dog barking, and returns home on a snowy night. We just passed silently last week."

As soon as the child finished reciting it, he stared at his parents with sparkling eyes like a puppy.

The soft-hearted mother praised her tenderly.

But my father couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about anything else, except that it's colder outside, where does the wind and snow come from?"

When the child heard it, he knew that he had described it wrong, and was so sad that he was about to cry.

Qu Ling was reluctant to eat the pine nuts, thinking that even though there was no wind and no snow.

But the picture just now is indeed very similar to the illustrations depicted in the original language documents.

——No wind, no snow, people come back late at night.
