Xiangyu

Qiao Yusong's helpless cry made Song Yuqiao have a splitting headache. He thought the tears would be wiped away quickly, but his fingers and palms were quickly soaked.He had to take out a tissue and held it in his hand, and there was buzzing in his ears.

In addition to the tinnitus, Qiao Yusong was sobbing uncontrollably.

Qiao Yusong tried to stabilize his emotions a little bit, but when he took the paper out of the drawer, a corner of the top piece of paper was already soaked.He didn't pay attention at first, but after pulling it lightly, he found that there were tears on the paper towel accidentally stained by Song Yuqiao.

Qiao Yusong crumpled the paper into a ball and held it in his hand.After a while, he laughed at himself and said, "Really, it's not the first time we broke up. I haven't been so useless before."

Hearing this, Song Yuqiao shuddered.He wiped away the tears on his face with his half-dry palm, and was about to speak when he saw Qiao Yusong get up first.

"Don't bother me, I'll go downstairs and wait for the moving company. Come up with them to move things later." Qiao Yusong walked towards the bathroom, "Borrow the bathroom."

Song Yuqiao drooped his head weakly, before Qiao Yusong passed by before he had time to move his legs.

Qiao Yusong accidentally kicked his foot so lightly that the veins on his forehead twitched in pain.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Yusong apologized subconsciously.

Song Yuqiao shook his head and said, "It's okay."

While Qiao Yusong was going to the bathroom, Song Yuqiao took out the medicine box under the coffee table and found the antipyretic medicine inside.The words on the pill box could not be read clearly, so he put on his glasses again.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuqiao found out the antipyretic medicine, and the doorbell rang.

Song Yuqiao hadn't been in the community for two years. Although he had been back for a few days, he didn't expect anyone to visit.

He had to leave the medicine on the coffee table, washed his face in the kitchen, got up and opened the door.

Through the videophone at the door, Song Yuqiao was surprised to find that they were two strange little girls, who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, one with ponytails and plain makeup, dressed like an ordinary little girl, and the other with two pierced hairs on her head. Maruko, wearing a Lolita-style red dress, has flushed blush on her cheeks, just like a Fuwa.

The little girl without makeup was holding a kraft paper bag in her hand.

Song Yuqiao didn't know why, so he opened the door.

The two little girls were stunned when they saw Song Yuqiao.

"Who are you looking for?" Song Yuqiao asked feebly.

The ponytail trembled, as if he had come to his senses, and asked politely, "Excuse me, Song Yuqiao, is Uncle Song at home?"

Hearing this, Song Yuqiao looked at her strangely and said, "I am. Who are you?"

She opened her eyes wide in surprise, and leaned into Lolita's ear and whispered, "You're so handsome!"

Song Yuqiao couldn't laugh or cry when he heard her comment clearly.

"Hello, Uncle Song, my father is Liu Mufan, and this is the Hantian candy and French fudge made by my mother. They asked me to bring them to you. Happy New Year!" Ponytail said, and handed the kraft paper bag to Song Yuqiao with both hands .

Song Yuqiao lowered his head to look into the bag, and clearly saw two gift boxes full of New Year's flavor, probably because the gift giver was worried about being misunderstood by others, so he put them in a kraft paper bag and sent his daughter to send them over.

"Ah." Suddenly, Lolita marveled in a low voice, and subconsciously approached her friend.

Song Yuqiao followed her gaze and looked back, seeing that it was Qiao Yusong coming out of the bathroom, with some doubts on his silent and sad face.

"Thank you, give New Year's greetings to your parents for me." Song Yuqiao took the brown paper bag, thought for a while, and asked, "Have you brought your mobile phone?"

Ponytail blinked suspiciously, and took out his phone.

"Open the payment code, and I will send you New Year's money. You too." After Song Yuqiao finished speaking, he realized that he did not bring his mobile phone with him.

Ponytail quickly said: "No, no!"

"I want it." Song Yuqiao walked in, came to Qiao Yusong, was slightly startled, and explained, "The child of a colleague."

Qiao Yusong did not expect two children to visit at such a time, and he nodded slightly, exhausted and exhausted.

In the past two years, Qiao Yusong was at home by himself, and no one came to Song Yuqiao to pay New Year's greetings.Now that the two children suddenly appeared, Qiao Yusong guessed that perhaps Song Yuqiao's colleagues knew that he had gone home.

He looked out the door and saw the two little girls standing stiffly and nervously.

When they saw Qiao Yusong, they greeted in unison: "Brother, Happy New Year!"

After shouting, the two little girls showed surprise at the same time, you looked at me, I looked at you, and pushed each other's hand awkwardly.

Qiao Yusong didn't know why, and replied wearily: "Happy New Year."

Since he was Song Yuqiao's guest, Qiao Yusong didn't have the heart to wait in the porch to entertain him, so he walked towards the sofa.

Just as Song Yuqiao came out of the bedroom, the two met each other, both startled.

"The one just now should be called Brother Song, right? Why is it uncle?" Lolita accused her friend, "Aren't they two generations behind?"

"My mother told me it was 'Uncle Song', who is so young and handsome?" Ponytail said innocently, and when he saw Song Yuqiao approaching, he immediately smiled politely at him.

Song Yuqiao opened the mobile phone wallet and said, "Sorry, I haven't gone to the convenience store to buy red envelopes these days. Where's your payment code?"

"It's really unnecessary, Brother Xiao Song." Ponytail waved his hands hastily.

Hearing this, the mobile phone in his hand suddenly became heavy, and Song Yuqiao looked up at her in surprise.

The two little girls smiled shyly and stood next to each other, as if they were going to stick together.

After regaining consciousness, Song Yuqiao began to say polite words: "It's okay, since I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. I often hear your parents mention you, saying that you are very good at home."

They looked at each other in blank dismay, finally took out their mobile phones timidly, and waited to collect the money.

Song Yuqiao gave them lucky money and said, "Happy New Year."

"Thank you Brother Xiao Song!" Lolita said happily, holding the phone.

Song Yuqiao smiled faintly, and closed the door after they said goodbye and left.

The cheerful and crisp voice of the girl outside the door was heard in the living room, and Qiao Yusong, who was sitting on the sofa, could hear it clearly.He clutched his forehead in pain, just waiting for Song Yuqiao to come back, so as not to leave.

However, when his eyes were wandering around due to restlessness, he saw the capsule on the coffee table.

He couldn't help being stunned.

"It's handmade Hantian candy and French fudge. Do you want to take some away?" Song Yuqiao put the kraft paper bag on the coffee table and found that Qiao Yusong was staring at the medicine on the coffee table.

Qiao Yusong looked up and asked, "Are you sick?"

Song Yuqiao's back was sore, he bent down to pick up the capsule, and said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a minor illness."

Qiao Yusong asked nervously, "Did you..."

"No." Song Yuqiao interrupted him, seeing that his face that was still excited a second ago suddenly lost his expression, as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart.

Song Yuqiao lowered his eyes and said, "It's just antipyretics, I have a little fever today."

After seeing him finish speaking, he went to the kitchen to pour water and take medicine, Qiao Yusong couldn't help laughing at himself again in his heart.He felt that he was too funny. He clearly proposed to break up, but when he found out that Song Yuqiao had no intention of keeping him, he helped Song Yuqiao think of various reasons.

Qiao Yusong smiled bitterly, and turned on the map function of the mobile phone software to see where the moving company's car was.

He looked at the already dry floor by the window, and after a while, he turned around and asked, "Did you have a fever in Western City?"

"No, it was burned last night." Song Yuqiao took the medicine, returned to the sofa and sat down.

Until now, Qiao Yusong didn't know that half of Song Yuqiao's vulnerability came from illness.If he hadn't been sick, would Song Yuqiao be calmer and more ruthless than he is now?

Qiao Yusong looked at him haggardly and asked, "Song Yuqiao, do you still love me?"

Hearing this, Song Yuqiao trembled slightly.

"Forget it, the result is the same anyway." Qiao Yusong laughed at himself and stood up.

"The two little girls who came just now—" Song Yuqiao suddenly said.

Qiao Yusong paused and looked down at him.

Song Yuqiao raised his head, his eyes were sore due to the high fever.

They looked at each other for a moment, and Song Yuqiao said, "Can you sit down and listen to me?"

After hearing this, Qiao Yusong's heart tightened.He hesitated for a moment, then sat down stiffly again.

Looking at the New Year's goods that he just got in front of him, Song Yuqiao pondered for a moment, and continued the topic just now: "The one with the ponytail is the child of two of my colleagues. My mother and I are in the same research institute, and they are my subordinates. This year it will be about four years ago. Early ten."

Qiao Yusong didn't know why he said these irrelevant words. Looking at Song Yuqiao's lips, Qiao Yusong only felt that those two lips were very dry, and the skin had cracked blood.

"Three years ago, she and I went to Western City together. Her husband arrived later at the end of the year. I heard from them that her daughter was studying in Xijin and lived with her grandparents. They lived in No. 3 courtyard, not far from here. far away.” Due to the high fever in his mouth, Song Yuqiao’s mouth became dry as he spoke, “In the inner district of the western city—the place where we work, there are several couples like them. In the past three years, working together, working together Life."

Listening, Qiao Yusong frowned.

When Song Yuqiao spoke, he kept staring at a corner of the coffee table.Speaking of this, he raised his head to glance at Qiao Yusong, then lowered his head and continued: "I was a little confused after hanging up the phone that day. It's not that I haven't thought about it. I still thought about it until I came back on New Year's Eve." How can I tell you. The flight was originally at 18:16, but I temporarily changed it to [-]:[-] and arrived an hour earlier. But..."

Qiao Yusong's heart lifted up, as if it had reached his throat.He stared at Song Yuqiao without blinking.

"When I was going through the formalities in the inner district, I met that couple and their other child." Recalling the situation at that time and the happy looks on their faces, Song Yuqiao felt a coldness at the top of his nasal cavity, and he frowned. , holding back tears with ease.

Qiao Yusong was stunned, even though he had already guessed the general idea, he still asked cautiously: "Another child?"

Song Yuqiao nodded, smiled bitterly, and replied, "Well, the second child. My mother was pregnant while she was in Western City, and gave birth there."

"You envy them?" Qiao Yusong asked with red eyes.

He shook his head, looked at Qiao Yusong with pity, and said, "I just thought, you worked too hard."

After hearing this, Qiao Yusong's tears fell again, so he had no choice but to wipe them away.

Probably due to the side effects of the antipyretics, Song Yuqiao began to faint.He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "I love you. Of course I love you, but sometimes, love is not a reason to stay."

"What about other times?" Qiao Yusong opened his eyes blurred by tears, and looked at him through the hazy vision.

Song Yuqiao looked at him distressedly.

"When is 'sometimes'? What about 'other times'? At other times, is it a reason?" Slowly, Qiao Yusong's vision regained clarity.

He took a deep breath, looked at the big boxes, and said with a sigh: "You know? Most of the time when you're not around, it's not particularly difficult, but I'm worried about the holidays, or when I see other couples loving each other. Then Sometimes, I feel really uncomfortable, and I can’t help but think, if you were here, we must have a better life than them. When it’s really unbearable, there’s no other way, so I have to comfort myself and say, it’s okay, it’ll be fine when you come back Well, it doesn't have to wait until the end of the five years, just wait until you come back from vacation someday, just wait until you call home and listen to your voice. I... I'm sorry. "

"Xiao Song." Seeing him cry again, Song Yuqiao couldn't help reaching out and covering his hand.

"I'm sorry." Qiao Yusong sniffed hard, "I'm so weird, isn't it? I've obviously had enough of your absence so many times, and I always think that as long as I see you, everything will be fine. Actually, I just wanted to see you all the time. These days, I was outside, and I was very scared. I told myself that the long-term pain is better than the short-term pain. If I don’t take advantage of this time to break up, I can only procrastinate and procrastinate in the future, and I can only rely on time and time again. Waiting for no results to live. However, what if after experiencing such a painful breakup, you have not recovered? If after a short pain, what you get in return is not easy, but completely different from before, and another A constant pain, so what to do? At that time, there will be no more 'as long as you come back'. My heart is very, very painful now."

Song Yuqiao's heart sank when he heard it. He could feel his body heating up, but he still felt cold.Qiao Yusong's hand was very warm, but unfortunately his peripheral nerves were too sensitive when he had a fever, and it hurt just to hold it a little.

He held the hand firmly and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it. I thought... as long as we are separated, you can get a new life. You can have a new life, a new lover, and you can be with each other, All in all, it's much better than being with me."

"What about you?" Qiao Yusong looked at him sadly, "'Anything', 'anything', right?"

Song Yuqiao was startled slightly after hearing this, and smiled helplessly.

His hands were cold, Qiao Yusong looked down, reluctant to break free.

Soon, Qiao Yusong's cell phone rang.When he answered this strange call, the other party claimed to be a moving company, and the owner had to inform the guard before the vehicle could be released.

Qiao Yusong glanced at Song Yuqiao and said, "Okay, wait a moment. I'll call the property management."
