"A hypocritical couple." Dongzi said, "it doesn't seem to invite me in for tea. Fortunately, I went to pick up Qianxun early in the morning."
"Ha, Dongcheng, give him some loose money and send him to the small shop at the foot of the mountain to buy pearl milk tea. It's cheap. It's only one yuan a cup on the roadside."
"Nonsense, Dongzi is so hard to pick you up. It's not like that." Qiao Dongcheng smiled, took me with one hand and patted Dongzi on the shoulder with the other hand: "go up and let's talk."
Qiao's mansion is still very quiet.
It's quiet. It's always quiet. Beijing is still so prosperous. As soon as the leadership changes, politics will change. But I can't see what's different in Beijing.
"My parents went to the resort to recuperate, and my father insisted on leaving the hospital. My mother went to take care of him. They didn't know about you and thought you were still in the hospital."
"Qiao Shibo comes out to rest and relax. Let's go to see Qiao Shibo when I rest for two days!"
He smiled: "OK. Chihiro, go wash your face and be careful not to stick water on your head. Dongzi and I are drinking tea in the hall."
When I went upstairs, all the arrangements in the room were still the same as before. The vase on the table was also filled with bright and blooming tea. It looked fresher after a few drops of water. Everything had not changed. It seemed that it was waiting for me to come back.
He knows. I'll be back, too.
He washed his face, opened his wardrobe, picked out clothes, and sent some relaxed and fresh summer clothes. Although Qiao Dongcheng didn't say everything carefully, he was so careful in his work.
After changing his clothes and combing his hair, Qiao Dongcheng came in.
"Where's Dongzi?"
"Dongzi is a busy man. You have to leave when you call. Don't pull the wound. I'll come."
I gave him the comb. He combed it very carefully: "well, do you want to eat something? I made some health porridge in the kitchen in the morning."
I shook my head and smiled, "No."
"Then take a break."
"Yes."
Instead of leaving, he sat at a small table in the room and turned over the books I brought from the study.
"Qiao Dongcheng, aren't you busy?"
"Not busy."
"Why don't you ask me?"
"Ask you what?"
"Oh, you know."
"I believe you." he smiled: "you will come back, Chihiro. You are not a person who can steal you out of the hospital. Ji Xiaobei is a person who is not afraid. He has gathered a lot of elites to operate on you early in the morning. He is free of him. He will not abuse you."
"Qiao Dongcheng, I'm over with him."
In his black eyes, he caught a little smile: "OK. Take a few days off and we'll choose the wedding ring." I nodded. It's time to choose the wedding ring.
During this time, he was quite free, took good care of me, and had the habit of running in the morning.
He took me with him. When he ran, I walked slowly. He said it was good for my health. I could strengthen my body. I would walk all the way to the top of the mountain, where the air was fresh.
Every time he would run with sweat all over his clothes. When he went down the mountain, he would slowly accompany me. The sun came out and shone on the shadow, which was a little long.
The mobile phone he took with him broke the peace.
He stopped, frowned at the number, and finally answered.
"I'm Qiao Dongcheng."
"OK, don't panic. I'll come right away."
He hung up and said to me, "Chihiro, let's go to the hospital. Lin Guimei was rescued in the hospital."
"Ah?"
I was really shocked and still didn't dare to walk fast.
He squatted down and said, "Chihiro, I'll carry you."
"Qiao Dongcheng, I don't want to go. I don't want to take care of their affairs anymore. If you want to go, go yourself." I hate them and care about their life and death.
"Come on, even if I'm going, I'll take you back to Qiao's house first. I'm going to see it. Mother and daughter depend on each other. Although your father left her some money, the treatment fee is too high. All the inheritance is left to you. How can she not hate it? Let's not say that."
I lay on him and he carried me up.
"Qiao Dongcheng, I've always wanted to ask you why you should sympathize with her. Without her, my family wouldn't be like this."
He said lightly, "you don't know. Few officials can be clean. Lin Guimei is your father's assistant. Naturally, there are many people and things to contact, and the one who can keep it secret is her own. You don't need to know too much. I tell you, your father loves your mother and you most."
I fell on his shoulder and said, "I don't understand."
"It doesn't matter. You don't need to understand, but I won't fall into such a dilemma like your father. The atmosphere in the army is better."
Let him go. If he wants to see it, he probably promised his father that he would take care of their mother and daughter.
I came back late, but I didn't come to worry about me.
The next day, he told me to get up and go for a walk. He told me that Lin Guimei had a problem with her prosthetic and rolled down the stairs.
After breakfast, I went to choose a wedding ring. Don't be too gorgeous. Perkin's circle has only a small broken diamond. It's good to try.
Qiao Dongcheng said, "it's not good to use this for marriage. Choose better. You don't have to worry about money at all."
"But when I look at this, it's very good. Well, that's it. It doesn't matter whether it's expensive or not."
"I hope you want the best."
"Master MJ designed it and always followed the gorgeous route." I teased him.
He once proposed to me with such a ring. What a failure. Why didn't he think about the relationships when he bought it.
He was rather embarrassed and smiled.
"Don't make fun of you. It's very nice. I like it."
"It's up to you if you like, but other jewelry can't be yours."
"OK."
I'm a little happy to get married. I try jewelry, diamond chains and jade bracelets one by one. He decides these. I try to show him. He says it's good.
Clapping the next set of exquisite drill chains, he took out the card brush.
But he took a fancy to a bracelet: "Chihiro, let's buy this and give it to your cousin. You haven't come back yet. She called Qiao's house and said she was engaged at the end of this month."
"OK."
Then go to try wedding cakes and choose invitations or something.
All of them, I'm very cooperative, and I'll choose something I like.
Let yourself have no way back. Everything is done and the diamond ring is between your fingers.
I don't want to regret it. Although I don't have feelings for him, I don't dislike it, don't tit for tat, and don't quarrel. How good it is to respect each other and keep a little distance. This is called mutual respect as guests.
