When Xiao Jia Yu returned home, she hastily rearranged the wound on her left arm. Just as she was about to open the tablet and swipe through Weibo, she suddenly received a call from Nan Qiao that she hadn't contacted in a long time.
Xiao Jia Yu had a premonition, she hurriedly asked, "Nan Qiao, have you already returned?"
Nan Qiao's voice was a little hoarse and he quickly replied, "I just got off the plane. I've already booked a hotel, but after sitting at the airport for a while, I suddenly don't want to go to a hotel anymore. Can I come and find you?"
Her words sounded very short, but Xiao Jiayu could tell that she was in a difficult situation. She must have planned to return and quietly stay by herself. In the end, she discovered that she couldn't resist the pain in her heart. Xiao Jia Yu quickly said: "I live in my brother's old apartment. I'm afraid that you won't be able to find me, so I'll send you the address immediately. It's very convenient to take a taxi at the airport, so if you don't want to take a taxi, just wait a bit. I'll drive over immediately to pick you up."
Nan Qiao hurriedly said, "There's no need to trouble yourself. I'll just take a taxi here. Wait for me at home."
Xiao Jia Yu hurriedly agreed. After hanging up the phone, she was no longer in the mood to continue browsing Weibo. She switched on the TV and picked a random station to watch, quietly waiting for Nanqiao.
The airport was not too far from Xiao Jia Yu's residence. It was already late at night, and the traffic jams were not as bad as during the day. Nanqiao would be there in half an hour.
When Xiao Jia Yu opened the door and saw Nan Qiao, her first impression was that she was too thin, almost immediately reminding her of the last time she saw Xiao Qing He. It was just that after two to three years, some parts of Nanqiao's appearance had changed, and her expression was clearly more resolute than before.
"Jia Yu, I'm back." Nan Qiao smiled and hugged her back. He originally thought that he had a lot to say to Xiao Jia Yu, but upon seeing her, he didn't know what to say.
Xiao Jia Yu said with a smile, "Nan Qiao, welcome back." After she finished speaking, she quickly helped bring in her suitcase and asked, "Have you had dinner? "If you haven't eaten yet, I still have some ingredients. I'll go make some now."
Nan Qiao quickly smiled and replied, "After I got off the plane, I ate a little at the airport. However, the taste wasn't too good, but I don't have much appetite, so there's no need to trouble me."
Xiao Jia Yu smiled in response. When she looked at Nan Qiao again, she discovered that although she had lost weight, she had a kind of soul-stirring beauty, as if she wasn't a real person and was more like porcelain and jade. She was clearly very beautiful, but she was afraid that she would break upon contact.
Seeing that Nan Qiao was obviously forcing himself to smile, Xiao Jia Yu said with a smile: "You must have sat on this plane long enough. Why don't you go take a shower and sleep, and take a good rest."
Nan Qiao nodded and smiled. "Tonight, we will sleep together."
Naturally, Xiao Jia Yu would not reject him. Even though they had not seen each other for two to three years, it was as if she and Nan Qiao had never been separated. There were some things that were hard to say even if you knew them.
After Nanqiao had finished washing up, Xiao Jia Yu also went to wash up. Today, she had been busy with Mu Chen for the whole day. She was also very tired, so she decided to follow Nanqiao to rest early.
When the two of them were in bed, Xiao Jia Yu suddenly remembered something important. She quickly said to Nan Qiao, "Tomorrow morning, you might need to leave as soon as possible." She also felt that there was nothing inappropriate with South Joe staying at home, "How about you stay at home, but there will be people from the program team at home."
Nan Qiao looked at her and smiled, "I've also watched your recent reality show. Tomorrow, is your partner, Mu Chen, coming over?"
Xiao Jiayu nodded, "I'll be hosting the party tomorrow. The program team also told me in advance to invite my two best friends over. I've already invited one of my university roommates over, so it shouldn't be a big deal if you don't leave."
Nan Qiao extended his index finger and pointed it at her forehead as he smiled and said, "The arrangement of the program team is definitely for you two to be alone for a while. Even if that roommate of yours and I were to appear, we would be a bit late. "I don't think the program team will come too early. You can contact your roommate tomorrow morning, and I'll arrange to meet her somewhere. At that time, wouldn't it be fine if we came to your house together?"
Xiao Jia Yu raised her hand to pinch her cheek, which could barely be used to pinch her, and said in amusement: "Nan Qiao, you are indeed smarter than me."
Nan Qiao patted her hand with a smile, then suddenly said, "This show is only broadcasted for one episode. From what I see, that pair of Andrew and Cheng Lan doesn't seem to be dating, but more like two opposite sex friends playing together. Although there aren't many sparks, the composition of the show feels the most perfect. As for Shen Feng and Jiang Qing, they could tell that Jiang Qing was the real Shen Feng's brainless fan. As for Shen Feng and Jiang Qing, they could tell that Jiang Qing was the real Shen Feng's brainless fan. As for you and Mu Chen, I really don't think that the two of you are acting at all. Moreover, the two of you don't know how to restrain your emotions at all.
Xiao Jia Yu replied with a bit of confusion: "I still don't know if Mu Chen is acting or not, but I really don't seem to be acting much."
Nanqiao smiled and said, "Our Little Princess seems to have fallen in as well, but Mu Chen is not bad. His age, looks, family background, ability, these few major aspects are all very compatible with you. It's still much better than the marriage arranged by your family."
Xiao Jia Yu shook her head: "Right now, I still want to do my job well and achieve good results. As for other things, I'll think about them later."
Nan Qiao suddenly said self-deprecatingly, "I will never be able to maintain your calm and self-control."
Xiao Jia Yu wanted to speak up and comfort her, but her intention was seen through in advance: "No need to say anymore, I understand." After saying that, she turned around. "Jia Yu, I'm sleeping."
Xiao Jia Yu talked to her like this for a while before she suddenly couldn't fall asleep. She stared at the ceiling for who knows how long before finally falling asleep.
Xiao Jia Yu was woken up by the sound of crying in the middle of the night. She hurriedly opened her eyes and turned on the wall light, seeing that it was indeed Nan Qiao crying. Xiao Jia Yu quickly patted her back and called out, "Nan Qiao, wake up, Nan Qiao."
Nan Qiao woke up in a daze. Her face was covered in tears. She looked at Xiao Jia Yu with a somewhat confused expression. It seemed that she had thought for a while before realizing where she was. Subconsciously, she raised her hand to touch her face. As expected, it was all wet.
"What did you dream of?" Xiao Jia Yu asked with concern as she handed her a few tissues.
Nan Qiao used the pillow to sit up against his back and sighed. "It's basically like this every night when you go abroad. Originally, it was much better later, but recently it has started again. If I knew earlier, I would have stayed in a hotel. You're so embarrassed."
Xiao Jia Yu held onto Nan Qiao and said with heartache: "Nan Qiao, before you left the country, little uncle went to ask my father, but my father didn't help him. It was a few days ago, when my brother came back, that I overheard him and my mother talking about it. "
"Jia Yu, those matters are no longer important." Nan Qiao leaned on her shoulder and tiredly closed his eyes.
"Nan Qiao, I know you don't like it, but there are some things you really should know. As for the matter between uncle and my cousin, I asked uncle behind his back. He only agreed to it because you were able to come back, he doesn't want you to stay abroad forever. " Xiao Jia Yu said earnestly.
However, Nan Qiao said, "He always felt that everything he does is for my own good, but he never thought about what I really need. After all, it's just not loving me or not loving me enough. What else can we do if we go back to the States together? "
Xiao Jia Yu felt that this idea was too extreme, "Nan Qiao, you should know that your great-grandmother left a letter for her little uncle's family before she passed away. Before she passed away, she hoped that everyone in the Xiao family would reunite. Your adoptive parents wouldn't want him to do that. Even your great-grandmother might die with her eyes open. "
"Jia Yu, I understand what you are saying, but this also means that Xiao Qing He did indeed make a choice between me and the Xiao family. Even if he has me in his heart, I am not as important as the Xiao family." Seeing that Xiao Jia Yu still did not agree, she laughed weakly: "Jia Yu, there are a lot of things that I know better than you, but I know better, so I'm even more upset."
When Xiao Jia Yu saw her like this, she couldn't help but think of her past life. She had been abandoned in an orphanage by her biological parents and was finally adopted by the kind-hearted Xiao Qing He's mother, but not long after, both of Xiao Qing He's parents had met with an accident and died. Xiao Qing He and his nominal sister, Nan Qiao, were brought back to the Xiao family in the imperial capital. Many people thought that she was unwilling to give up on her biological parents. Only after a long time did Xiao Jia Yu find out that she was just lying to herself and didn't really want to become brother and sister with Xiao Qing He.
What Xiao Qing He did was not wrong, but Nan Qiao, who had lost his adoptive parents and had been abandoned by the Xiao family, only Xiao Qing He was left to rely on. Even Xiao Qing He had given up on her because of the Xiao family. Xiao Jia Yu couldn't help but feel a little envious, and then she remembered Nan Qiao's current state and couldn't help but say: "Nan Qiao, after I finish filming the program in the last two days, I'll take you to see a therapist. We don't need to see a doctor, you just have a chat with a therapist."
"I don't know how many psychiatrists I've seen in the United States. I also majored in psychology at a university in California, so I know my own condition very well."
Xiao Jia Yu then asked with some concern: "Then, what are your plans after returning to your country?"
Nan Qiao smiled and replied, "In the end, I will definitely settle down in the capital and find a job. However, I want to go out for a walk first. I'll come back after a while." The smile on her face became a little absent-minded. "I was planning to return home, but I just got lucky and came back.
Xiao Jia Yu probably guessed that she wanted to go out and stay until Xiao Qing He and Yu Lin Jing got married, so she naturally wouldn't stop her. She only said: "I don't mind if you go outside, but you have to contact me at least once a week to let me know where you are. Otherwise, no one will know if you encounter any problems outside by yourself."
Nan Qiao smiled emotionally and said, "It's a good thing that you are still here. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have anyone to talk to."
Xiao Jia Yu also smiled. Only then did the two of them turn off the lights and go back to sleep. Nan Qiao did not have any more nightmares.
