you are synonymous with the other shore

Liu Qingqiao dried the tears off her face in Zhang Kaicheng's office before slowly getting up and leaving the company, driving to Starlight Garden.

Father Liu originally had a small dinner party tonight, but when he learned that his daughter was coming back for dinner, he rejected the dinner party and went home.

Mother Liu finally looked forward to her busy daughter returning home, and greeted her at the door with a smile on her face:

"It's rare that you have time to go home and eat so late, so hurry up and wash your hands to eat, don't get hungry."

After washing her hands, Liu Qingqiao said apologetically, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry for making you wait so long."

Parents who listened to their daughter's sentimental words noticed that she was in a bad mood.

Liu's father asked: "Xiao Qiao, have you encountered something unsatisfactory at work?"

Liu Qingqiao picked up chopsticks to pick up dishes for her parents: "I've been too busy recently, and I'm under a lot of pressure. Don't look at me in a bad state, but I'm actually fine."

Mother Liu picked up a large piece of fish for her daughter and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are working or not. Don't overwhelm your body. Take it easy and treat it as if you are going to the company to have fun. At worst, go home, Mom and Dad I will support you forever."

Father Liu poured some apple cider vinegar for his daughter to cheer him up: "We can't support Xiao Qiao for a lifetime, she is going to get married."

Mother Liu smiled and said, "My son-in-law will take care of her for the rest of my life. Xiao Qiao, you should spend more time with your friends to relax. When you are in a good mood, your work will go smoothly."

Liu Qingqiao lowered her head to eat, and felt even more sad when she heard her parents' words.She could feel their love and expectations for her.

However, she kept thinking about Su Xiaoju in her heart.

Once that intimate video becomes widely circulated, she, Su Xiaoju and her parents will all be brought into the vortex of public opinion.

But if her parents can support her, she will not be so afraid. She will face it bravely, try her best to protect Su Xiaoju, and try her best to reduce the blow of gossip to her parents.

Liu Qingqiao swallowed the meal, and said while serving food to her parents:

"A classmate of mine in college is a girl. She fell in love with a girl and plans to get married next year when same-sex marriage is legalized in their country."

Both parents looked at their precious daughter at the same time.

Liu Qingqiao suddenly became nervous, and said with a smile:

"I heard from my classmates that neither of their parents objected. I didn't expect their parents to be so open-minded."

After hearing this, Mother Liu shook her head and said, "I don't understand what's so cute between the same sex. If I have such a daughter, I'll probably be pissed off."

Liu's father also disagreed: "Maybe they can't help it, but in our country they seem a bit nondescript, which makes people headache."

Liu Qingqiao lowered her head and suppressed her tears, not daring to cry out but it didn't help.Afraid of being seen by her parents, she hurriedly put down the dishes and ran into the bathroom.

Mother Liu rushed to the door of the bathroom and asked with concern: "What's the matter with you, Xiao Qiao? Are you feeling unwell?"

"My stomach hurts." Liu Qingqiao found that her voice was choked up and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

Liu's mother said: "Be careful, my mother will get you medicine right away."

Liu Qingqiao turned on the faucet, letting the sound of water cover her crying.She tried her best to suppress her sad emotions and rinsed cold water on her face.

Mother Liu knocked on the door again, and asked anxiously, "My child, you are in great pain? Why don't you go to the hospital later?"

"I'm fine." Liu Qingqiao wiped her face clean, opened the door and smiled at her mother.

"Look at your uncomfortable appearance, my mother loves you." Liu's mother hurriedly led her daughter to sit down.

Father Liu looked at his daughter who was taking medicine, and asked, "Little Qiao, why is your nose so red? Is there something wrong with your body?"

After Liu Qingqiao swallowed the pill, she said, "When I was washing my face, I accidentally choked my nose with water. I'm fine. Don't worry."

At night, Liu Qingqiao locked herself in the bedroom and fell on the bed crying, constantly hesitating before breaking up or not breaking up.

After thinking about it, she couldn't find a way to solve Zhang Kaicheng's threat.

Zhang Kaicheng's words kept replaying in her ears, until she made up her mind and mustered up the courage to persuade herself to compromise before she calmed down.

She felt that she was so pathetic, that Su Xiaoju was so pitiful, that she was so hateful, that Su Xiaoju was so innocent, that she was so ridiculous, and that Su Xiaoju was so cute.

Almost going to bed, Su Xiaoju didn't wait for Liu Qingqiao's call, so she clicked on the video chat, but Liu Qingqiao switched it to a voice chat.

A sense of loss quickly passed through Su Xiaoju's heart, and she asked, "Aqiao, how are you doing at home? Uncles and aunts miss you very much, don't they?"

Liu Qingqiao's cold and tired voice sounded from the phone: "Well, I'm fine, but I'm very sleepy and want to sleep, so you should go to bed earlier."

It's fine if Liu Qingqiao doesn't take the initiative to contact her. Su Xiaoju felt uneasy and wanted to ask Liu Qingqiao what's wrong, but she still smiled and said:

"Well, good night, dear."

"Good night." Liu Qingqiao hung up the communication.

Su Xiaoju froze for a moment, and suddenly became depressed.

In the past, Liu Qingqiao would reply with a kissing tone before saying good night, and asked her to hang up the call first, but tonight Liu Qingqiao just said goodbye and immediately cut off the call.

Su Xiaoju noticed the abnormality, but she didn't let herself think about it.She believed in Liu Qingqiao, thinking that Liu Qingqiao must be in a bad mood because of something she couldn't tell her.

She tossed and turned in bed a little restlessly, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaoju cheered up and came to the studio to wait for Liu Qingqiao.

One day was gone, she was looking forward to seeing Liu Qingqiao, but also anxiously waiting for Liu Qingqiao's performance after seeing her.

Liu Qingqiao came to the studio with a tired face, first smiled at the girlfriend who rushed over, and then discussed the recent schedule with Wang Dalian, deliberately ignoring others.

Su Xiaoju listened to them talking for a while, and then found something to do.

After Wang Dalian left, Liu Qingqiao sat alone on a chair and watched the busy figures of the team.

"Aqiao." Su Xiaoju brought her a cup of warm water.

Liu Qingqiao took the water glass with a smile, but Su Xiaoju could see that the smile on her face was stiff.

When Su Xiaoju hesitated whether to ask her what was going on,

Liu Qingqiao said first: "Let's call it a day early today and go eat something delicious before going home."

"Oh." Su Xiaoju noticed that Liu Qingqiao's attitude was very cold, but she didn't think that there was something wrong with their relationship.

She was absent-mindedly working, but she was taken away by Liu Qingqiao at three o'clock in the afternoon.She felt that she hadn't been very busy recently, and she didn't know why Liu Qingqiao left so many things behind.

Su Xiaoju looked at her lover who was wearing a seat belt and was about to drive, and asked softly:

"Aqiao, are you uncomfortable or unhappy? Tell me, don't worry me."

"It's okay." Liu Qingqiao smiled at her and drove in silence.

Su Xiaoju stared at Liu Qingqiao's profile for a few seconds, feeling an ominous premonition lingering in her heart.She couldn't clear the fog, and fell silent like Liu Qingqiao.

Liu Qingqiao brought her to the restaurant, ordered her many favorite foods, and poured her tea and vegetables.

"In the future, you have to eat well, exercise well, don't always take care of me, and know how to love yourself more, you know?"

Su Xiaoju heard the familiar gentle words for the first time today, and felt a little better, and said with a slight smile:

"I know, as long as I eat with you, I can whet my appetite. As long as you exercise every time, I will definitely follow along."

Liu Qingqiao's sad expression returned to normal for a moment, and she kept delivering food to Su Xiaoju.

Su Xiaoju said again: "By the way, my driver's license just arrived yesterday. I want to try to drive on the road with few cars near my home later, and you will guide me by the side, so that I can help you earlier Let's drive, okay?"

Liu Qingqiao took a sip of tea, hesitated for a few seconds before nodding and agreeing.

Su Xiaoju found that Liu Qingqiao had no appetite, and she herself had no appetite to eat, so the two of them left without finishing half of the food.

Liu Qingqiao was not silent on the way back, and casually talked to Su Xiaoju when she saw something, and then stopped the car on the side of the road a few kilometers away near Arbor Garden.

Su Xiaoju sat in the driver's seat with a little nervousness, adjusted the seat a little, and started the car slowly under Liu Qingqiao's encouraging eyes.

Liu Qingqiao looked at her driving with gentle eyes, but it was difficult to restrain the loneliness on her face.She turned on her mobile phone and sent a message, asking Su Xiaocheng to come to Arbor Garden.

The original 5-minute journey, Su Xiaoju drove for 15 minutes before slowly driving the car into the parking lot of the community.

She smiled and asked her sweetheart: "How is it? Is my technique okay?"

"It's pretty stable." Liu Qingqiao also smiled slightly, took her by the hand and took her upstairs by elevator.

Su Xiaoju opened the door and walked into the house and wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare dinner, but suddenly remembered that they had already eaten.

She turned around but found Liu Qingqiao looking at her tenderly behind her.

She smiled sweetly: "It's still early, let's go for a walk on Huanhu Avenue?"

Liu Qingqiao raised his hand to caress her eyebrows, and then slid down her face.

Su Xiaoju wanted to meet Liu Qingqiao's eyes, but Liu Qingqiao just looked at her face and didn't meet her eyes.

Su Xiaoju stood obediently, smiled slightly, and let her beloved caress her face.

A few seconds later, when Liu Qingqiao put down her hand, she also restrained her tenderness, her voice was unusually cold:

"Orange, let's break up."

The original light of happiness in Su Xiaoju's eyes disappeared, and she froze all of a sudden.

She looked at Liu Qingqiao's drooping eyelids in disbelief, wondering if Liu Qingqiao was joking.

After 1 minute passed, she couldn't wait for a more detailed explanation from her sweetheart, and asked timidly and angrily:

"What did you say?"

Liu Qingqiao still didn't dare to look at her face, but stared at her neck: "Let's separate."

Su Xiaoju could not hear any warmth and emotion from Liu Qingqiao's tone, nor did she have any nostalgia or struggle.

She felt that Liu Qingqiao was very cold, and her heart ached sharply in an instant.

She held back her tears, refusing to believe what she had heard.She was so sad and angry that she asked tremblingly, "What did you say?"

Liu Qingqiao's heart also hurt badly, and it was so painful that she had difficulty breathing.

She plucked up the courage to look at Su Xiaoju:

"I don't want to go on like this with you anymore. I want to break up, and I want to be alone. You don't have to go to work tomorrow, just pack up your things here, and then...then go. I'm serious, Su Xiaoju, you let's go!"

"Why?! Why do you want to separate from me?!"

Su Xiaoju still refused to believe it, the person who said that she loved her very much not long ago suddenly decided to separate from her.

"Because I don't love you anymore."

Liu Qingqiao lied while enduring the pain in her heart, tried her best not to shed tears, and tried her best to be ruthless.

These words made Su Xiaoju instantly lose confidence and courage, as well as confidence and peace of mind.

The thing she was most afraid of was that Liu Qingqiao would not love her anymore, and the thing she was most afraid of was that Liu Qingqiao would not want her.

The uneasiness and dissatisfaction in her heart instantly turned into sadness and pain.
