Chapter 36 Chapter 36 "It's out." In front of the car...

"It's out."

The voice of the person in the front seat was very low. Xiaozhen looked up and found that the driver was Xia Qiang.

She was a little panicked and pushed open the car door to put out the fire.

She was afraid of this person when she was a child, and she was still afraid of him now in her twenties.

Xiaozhen walked to the smoking area in the distance and threw the battered cigarette butts into the trash can.

A person leaned against the corner of the wall in a daze.

Qiao Yihua said a while, which was about 20 to 30 minutes.

His voice was heard from a long distance. Xia Qiang got out of the car and pointed to Xiaozhen's position.

Somehow, as if she had seen a savior, Xiaozhen ran quickly and threw herself into Qiao Yihua's arms, hugged his neck with both arms, and burst into tears.

"Why do they want me to leave you... They want me to separate from you, why... What does it have to do with them... Why do I have to leave you..."

Xiaozhen spoke in a crying voice and intermittently.

Qiao Yihua was confused by the sudden incident. He almost took a step back because of the gravity of the hug. Then he hugged her waist, wiped her tears, and comforted her: "No, no one wants you to leave me."

Xiaozhen shook her head and looked up at him, feeling very wronged. "They all want me to leave and force me to separate from you. Why do they care about our business?"

Qiao Yihua stroked her face and knew what was going on. He smiled and said: "No, no one did."

Xiaozhen hugged him tighter, "Yes, that's right."

She cried very, very sadly. This kind of severe sadness was like the separation of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, as if she loved him so much that she couldn't help herself.

Qiao Yihua immediately put aside the conversation with Professor Zhou just now, hugged her tighter, and kept saying that it was nothing.

Before he could do anything, Xiaozhen tiptoed and kissed her, and the soft tip of her tongue went in.

Qiao Yihua was shocked and stimulated by the man's active embrace. She grabbed the person who was falling and pressed her body closer. She lowered her head and covered her lips with hers, and their tongues intertwined.

Like a crazy man and a resentful woman who developed very fast and suddenly, the heavy breath they exuded when they were intimate made Xia Qiang, who was standing aside, not know how to react. He turned his back and walked a few steps away.

He pressed her to the car tightly, without any intention of slacking off or stopping. They kissed for a long time, more intensely than ever before, unable to vent the love brought by kissing.

At some point, the back door was opened.

The sound of the awkward kiss disappeared.

After a while, faint moans and groans came from the car, mixed with the sound of men whispering.

The car began to shake, and it became more and more intense.

They were so carefree that they didn't even know that there was someone standing outside.

Xia Qiang walked further away and lit a cigarette. His expression was as pale as death. This expression clearly showed that he felt that everything he had done before was in vain.

It is understandable that a man in his early twenties would be confused by these things, but it is really normal to be confused now.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yihua called Xia Qiang's name in a low voice.

He just went back to the driver's seat and drove out of the basement to go home.

The couple sitting in the back seat were very close. Qiao Yihua hugged the woman wrapped tightly in a suit, and stroked the long hair on Xiaozhen's cheek from time to time, with an extremely gentle voice.

"Okay, no one will bully you. Who dares to bully you, a young lady?"

Xiaozhen's face flushed with tears, and she nestled in his suspicious and obedient. Hearing what he said, she rubbed his neck like a cat and buried her face deeper.

After arriving home, Qiao Yihua asked her whether she should go by herself or be carried down.

Xiaozhen was stupid and didn't speak.

After carrying her to the bed, Qiao Yihua tore off the suit covering her. The top was torn into pieces, and her skin was vaguely exposed.

He was actually curious about what state this woman would be in when facing him for the first time after resisting so many things.

Xiaozhen was not shy at all. She took off her shapeless outer clothes, leaving only her bra, and looked at him straight in the eyes.

Qiao Yihua put his arm around her waist and sat her up. "What's that look?"

He looked innocent as if he was forced.

"You know why I did it." Xiaozhen was very calm. "I didn't mean to do this."

Qiao Yihua smiled slightly. "I was forced to do it. I know. You don't want to be helpless, right?"

He was obviously teasing her on purpose.

Xiaozhen took this matter very seriously and had to give a reason. She shook her head and said, "No, I won't talk about this matter again in the future anyway. It's not your problem."

"What about now? Should we continue or have we finished?"

"Well..." Xiaozhen said, "It's all right."

Qiao Yihua put his arm around her and pressed her down.

When she woke up in the morning, it was still dark, about four or five o'clock.

She rarely woke up at this time. Even last year when she was not feeling well, she would still fall asleep in the early morning after staying up until two or three o'clock.

Xiaozhen felt sore all over. When she turned over, she turned into Qiao Yihua's arms, facing him who was lying on his side.

The faint morning light was dark on one side and bright on the other. Xiaozhen looked at him for a while, then turned her back to him. In a trance for a few minutes,

she had a dream and turned back to his arms. It was not easy for her to have such an excuse to be close to him today.

Qiao Yihua subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug her tightly, then touched her face and kissed her for a while. It was rare to have such a harmonious moment in the past one or two years.

It seemed that this kind of getting along and relationship was very good and beautiful. When Qiao Yihua got up in the morning, Xiaozhen's eyes were already open .

She pulled him and asked: "Did you agree?"

"Promise what?" Xiaozhen was very angry. 

He just remembered the reason for this: "It doesn't affect our relationship whether it is dissolved or not, nothing can be changed." 

She became even angrier. 

"Do you mean to break up with me?" 

Qiao Yihua patted her face and got out of bed to find clothes, "It depends on your expression." 

Xiaozhen covered her head and sulked. 

The weather was hot to begin with, and she couldn't hold it anymore after a while and opened it again. 

Before leaving, he said: "It's not easy for you to make some requests. How can it not be as you wish?" 

She didn't have any purpose, she just didn't want to separate. 

All these changes in behavior over the past few days were due to this incident, which must have satisfied him. 

Xiaozhen happily took a nap, and when she woke up it was already past nine o'clock. When she went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, she found that her neck, collarbone and chest were all 

covered with marks, which was horrible. She went back upstairs and covered it up with foundation for a long time, but it was barely visible . 

This time Qiao Yihua was very gentlemanly, thinking that it would never end, so he was very restrained and did not act recklessly. 

Perhaps this experience taught him a lot of lessons, resulting in a normal way of getting along these days. 

She achieved her goal, and the matter of ending the brother-sister relationship was never mentioned again.

Qiao Yihua's freedom was greatly reduced and restricted. Wherever she wanted to go, the driver would drive her there and leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, she met Ren Qiu on the street. The two of them bought a cup of iced coffee each and walked side by side.

Ren Qiu sighed and said, "Time flies. It's been almost ten years. The world has changed so much."

The two of them used to talk about Qiao Yihua, but this time they sighed about life.

Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Doesn't Ren Qiu have someone she likes? Today is Chinese Valentine's Day."

"Yes, but I'm too old and don't have the energy to think about these things. Fortunately, I have settled down in Shanghai and don't have to go back to my hometown. I don't have to listen to my parents' nagging."

Xiaozhen always felt that she was a typical career woman, with a style of dressing, doing things and speaking.

She was much better than herself for being able to settle down in such a big city.

"You are really amazing. I haven't made any money yet."

Ren Qiu laughed and said, "You are amazing, you are the best! President Qiao doesn't even listen to Professor Zhou's words. He is very stubborn."

Xiaozhen knew what she was talking about and said lightly, "Do you think my brother listens to me?"

"For so many years, your brother rarely listened to other people's suggestions, but he also suffered a lot. But Professor Zhou's words were almost always adopted. Don't feel harsh when I say that. We are not targeting you. President Qiao's attitude was very gentle before, and it seems that he didn't care about this matter very much. If you want to ask how much impact the listing will have in the future, it seems that there is no impact. It's just that last year's incident made people very worried..." She laughed, "Don't be offended."

"No." Xiaozhen said, "You are telling the truth."

"But it's useless for outsiders to say that it's useless even if President Qiao doesn't care."

Xiaozhen looked at the tall buildings in the distance. Among the people coming and going on the streets of this city, she felt that she was like a person wrapped in a gorgeous coat with an ugly heart.

She opened her heart and said, "Do you think my brother is a loyal person?"

Ren Qiu was stunned by her question and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Xiaozhen said, "You have spent much more time with him than I have, but he is not like that. He has never been the kind of person who loves one person exclusively for the rest of his life. Sometimes

he accepts everyone who comes to him, but he will also test people's moral bottom line again and again and turn his back on them." "He won't treat you like that. Everyone has seen how he has treated you over the years."

"Yes, he has always been very good to me." Xiaozhen agreed, "But we are no longer a pure brother and sister relationship, not a simple one where we don't care about anything. We have slept with each other, done very immoral things, and paid a lot of price. At that time, we both wanted the other to kneel down and beg for mercy. We can no longer go back to the way we were when we were seventeen or eighteen. In the future, it will not be possible to pretend to have pure friendship and affection. No matter what kind of emotion it is, it is not brother and sister, and he will forget it at any time."

For the first time, Ren Qiu felt that she would think so much and so deeply. Qiao Yihua's heart would indeed not stay for anyone. Once the feelings between them changed, they could never be reversed.

"Is Mr. Qiao different? Even last year when he first knew that you sued the court, he still said that someone must have deceived him and it was impossible." Ren Qiu paused for a few seconds and said, "Since you know it's impossible, there is no point in leaving a legal name. His property can be set up as a fund or even in a will. In the future, if he has a new family or wife, you still won't get anything."

Ren Qiu didn't say it. Xiaozhen knew what she wanted to say. She would rather sacrifice herself than dissolve this family relationship. What else is there besides money?

Xiaozhen smiled: "Sister, you don't know my brother. If he knew that I just wanted to cheat him of money, he would not be stingy no matter how much money I asked for. But after we indulged ourselves, if we couldn't be brothers and sisters, there would really be no relationship. The most beautiful time of a person's memory is when he was a teenager. That was mine, not his. When he was a teenager, there was no me, no beauty, nothing. I really don't have any relatives in this world, not one. I think... I think that even if we break up in the future, we will be separated very far away. At a certain moment, when I miss home and want him to have a place to go back to, a home, and that shallow legal relationship, he should agree to let me stay temporarily. If there is no family relationship, I have nowhere to go, where can I go?"

Ren Qiu was a little surprised, thinking that what he wanted most for so many years was to get rid of his family, because of the burden brought by his family, asking her for money, insulting her for not getting married in her thirties and being abnormal, and not being able to go back to peace every Spring Festival. Xiaozhen's experience of growing up is constantly tossing and turning, just wanting to find a support, which is what she has always lacked. Everyone's obsession is different. After thinking about it, I can probably empathize.
