Chapter 19 Chapter 19

It was three days later when Qiao Yihua received a call from Xiaozhen’s counselor. The teacher said that Qiao Xiaozhen had been absent from class for four days and would soon be on vacation. Did she go home early?

Qiao Yihua was shocked and quickly asked Ren Qiu to find her. This matter could only be left to her.

In his eyes, Xiaozhen was of course a good child. She had the seeds of rebellion in her heart but did not have the courage to rebel.

The only places she could go were near her home and the Bund.

This time was no exception.

However, when Xiaozhen saw Ren Qiu, she called "Sister Ren Qiu" and walked away.

The things between them were never airtight, but they were used to it.

The reason for being used to it was that Xiaozhen had always taken special care of them. Since they were very young, the relationship between the two was not ordinary friends and "brothers" like Xiaochun. Over time, they were used to how close they were.

And what is there for siblings to quarrel about? There was no quarrel before, but in the past six months, Ren Qiu has come to reconcile more times than in the past few years.

What does this have to do with her?

Ren Qiu and Xiao Zhen went home and bought some dishes. The two women were going to drink some wine. Xiao Zhen took two sips. I don’t know if it was because of the burning eyes or because she felt uncomfortable, but she kept crying, just like a dam bursting and never stopped.

Ren Qiu didn’t know what happened between them, what the crux was, and his persuasion was not on point. He thought that Qiao Yihua had a wife and forgot his brothers.

When Ren Qiu persuaded her, Xiao Zhen cried even harder.

In the end, she coaxed herself to sleep on the sofa. When she opened her eyes, he was gone. When

she called Qiao Yihua’s office to report, no one answered. At that time, she met Qiao Yihua and Zhou Yun on the street in the garden. It was the first time that Xiao Zhen faced them directly. The feeling of humiliation and shame made her stomach churn like vomiting, and Qiao Yihua ignored Zhou Yun and her feelings and held her and didn’t let go, completely unaware of her situation.

In the end, the couple ended their trip during the National Day holiday.

Zhou Yun was kind-hearted. She could forgive and believe such iron-clad facts that she saw with her eyes, and she didn’t publicize their improper relationship.

When he got home at night, Xiaozhen sat on the sofa in a daze, crying.

Qiao Yihua sat beside him in silence for a long time.

Finally, he took his clothes and left.

Sexual relations are things that require mutual consent, especially in an improper relationship. It is not a husband-wife obligation. There is no need for coaxing or forcing. It is good for everyone to establish a tacit understanding. It is best to have some money transactions, not owe each other anything, and finally part ways amicably.

It is becoming increasingly difficult for him and Xiaozhen to part ways amicably. What can be done? Will it really get out of control in the end?

They have known each other for so long that if they had feelings, they would have done so a long time ago. Until now, they are just obsessed with young □□, and will be greedy for freshness and excitement, and even pursue this kind of immorality, enjoying the feeling of having an affair in front of outsiders and being bold.

This kind of heavy stimulation and passion is probably the impulse of the brain to relieve the pressure of everything around them under high tension at work.

What made him think clearly was the conversation about company matters when Zhou Jiandong came back from Beijing. Zhou Jiandong would not care about his private affairs, but Qiao Yihua could take Xiaozhen to eat and hug in front of him. Anyone with a little experience could tell whether the two had a relationship.

Zhou Jiandong only told him, "Those who humble themselves can get along with others, and those who are competitive will encounter enemies. Those who want to be always submissive do not fight, and those who want to be always happy are self-sufficient."

The relationship between him and Xiaozhen was too tight and too straight, and Qiao Yihua never tactfully eased it.

So after many days, he called Xiaozhen, and she didn't call him "brother" or say hello. The phone was as cold as an ice cellar, and she didn't even want him to hear her breathing.

Qiao Yihua said, "Don't hold it in. I have time tomorrow afternoon. Let's talk."

Xiaozhen said in a low voice: "No."

"Just on the chair downstairs."

This was to give her some attitude and a sense of security.

But it happened to rain the next day, and there was no downstairs, so they stood in the corridor.

He went straight to the point: "I will definitely call you before I come. You can do whatever you want."

Xiaozhen immediately understood what he meant, and seeing that he was very serious, "Really?"

Qiao Yihua said: "Look at the way you look every time you see me, like a mouse seeing a cat, is it true or not?" Xiaozhen

ignored all this: "Are you serious? In the future, we will be the same as before, no, it will be the same as a long time ago."

Qiao Yihua nodded, "Do whatever you want."

Xiaozhen smiled, it was really hard to make her happy.

Qiao Yihua said a few words and was about to leave. Xiaozhen said: "Then give me the key?"

Qiao Yihua was stunned, then took out the key from his windbreaker and took it down, "You are really good."

Xiaozhen felt that this was a bit too much, but he would take the opportunity to cut it off if he could figure it out. He was so fickle too many times.

Xiaozhen took the key and said to him in a comforting tone: "You said you would call first when you come over next time. I will definitely be at home, so you don't need the key."

Qiao Yihua: "Of course, this is your home."

Xiaozhen said quickly: "No, no, no, this is your house and your home."

"It will be your home in the future, but no one will knock on the door to visit, so you should stay here alone."

I don't know what happened, anyway, as long as the two of them are not in that kind of relationship, Xiaozhen likes him very much, and she can ignore many things in the past without thinking about them, asking about them, or getting angry.

Qiao Yihua saw that she was unwilling to open the door and talk about these things at the door, so she went straight downstairs.

Xiaozhen followed him downstairs. The autumn rain outside was still heavy.

Qiao Yihua said: "Go back. Don't open the door when you live alone in the future. Be careful as a single woman living in this place." Xiaozhen

nodded and said "hmm".

Just after walking out of the rain, Qiao Yihua came back and said, "In the future, we can just meet during the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival

. This is how relatives interact." After thinking for a while, he said, "There's no need for this Spring Festival. Zhou Yun and I want to go abroad." He didn't sound like a joke at all, so the next time they meet would be during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year.

Xiaozhen stared at him blankly.

"What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Yihua explained to her, "Think about it, I'm married and about to have a child. With my own family, of course I can't pay attention to others, and I'm so busy. You've grown up and are about to graduate. Even if you're willing to help others to support their studies until they graduate from college, it should be over."

What he said was true and false, but she believed it for the time being.

Xiaozhen whispered, "Then it shouldn't be you who moves out and takes out the keys, it should be me." "

Be a good person to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. When you graduate next year and find a house to live in, leave these to me."

He looked like he was going to cut off ties with him.

Xiaozhen couldn't tell his intentions.

Seeing her soft-hearted, she must have regretted it. Qiao Yihua said, "I am serious. You are a free-thinking person. You have studied for so many years and have rich ideas in college. You should repay me for these few months. You will think too much about giving money. People at this age should go their separate ways, especially between men and women. Zhou Yun will think too much, and you will not be happy. We should have separated a long time ago. There is no need to go out for dinner every week or every month. Wouldn't you feel that morality is condemned and the society will have public opinion? We must also follow public order and good customs."

He was very shameless, whether it was the truth or the irony or the yin and yang.

Xiaozhen finally understood what he meant. If she wanted to see him every day, she should not consider the society's eyes and her own moral bottom line, and she could still be the same as before.

If she broke up this relationship, then they would remain strangers in the future.

Xiaozhen whispered, "Then I will buy a lot of gifts to see you during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year."

Qiao Yihua said calmly, "Okay."

Then he walked into the rain and waved goodbye from behind.

However, if he wanted to have a child, he needed to repair his relationship with Zhou Yun. How could someone with emotional cleanliness like Zhou Yun easily repair it?

During the days of marriage, they didn't even have sex.

Zhou Yun also picked the most inappropriate time, wanting him to be a good family man, even cooking for him, going shopping together on weekends, and eating with his sisters and paying the bill.

These personalities counteracted him, let alone Zhou Yun, even if Xiaozhen asked him to do these things, it would be absolutely impossible, no matter how important lust and procreation were, they were not as important as herself.

But these were only actions, and she would agree very much and say that she would do it when she had time.

Sometimes on weekends, Zhou Yun would take her classmates to the coffee shop downstairs of the company. Qiao Yihua was a very face-giving person. Even if she went downstairs for a second, she would go over to say hello, and then ask Ren Qiu to buy some small gifts for each of her friends, or the most popular silk scarves, or the most popular desserts in the store. In short, this kind of politeness and comprehensiveness made people feel like spring breeze.

He just knows how to behave and do things, which makes people love and hate him.

It's just that Zhou Yun has seen a lot and can see through his tricks, and will continue to immerse herself in them.

Xiaozhen can't understand it at all, so she believes whatever he says.

Zhou Yun knew what his needs were, and would say in a push-pull manner that it was not convenient for her to get pregnant recently due to her physical conditioning, and that she would come back after the test results came out.

Qiao Yihua was such a shrewd person, she wanted everything she wanted, satisfied so much, and wanted to control all his private life.

However, the personalities of each other changed, and both parties did not know each other before marriage, so apart from the pretended politeness, there was nothing else.

And this kind of marriage seemed to have returned to the state of Qiao Yihua's parents, which was also the state of husband and wife that he should have. When eating, they made whatever they wanted to eat, and each had their own room. If they had children, they would take turns to tutor their homework, and they would not interfere with each other's lives.

Zhou Yun's parents were cultural people in the system, and even if there were conflicts, they would only quarrel when Zhou Yun left. They would discuss everything in normal times, and the father would take the lead in major matters. This was the most traditional family environment in China.

Zhou Yun could not control Qiao Yihua, and Qiao Yihua would not control Zhou Yun, and love would soon fall apart.

Many years of feelings would change after one or two years of marriage, let alone them.

Even so, neither party had ever thought of divorce.
