Married for a long time

Su Li, who was exposed, panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down.

Actually, I wasn't happy, but I was relieved when I knew he was leaving.

She wanted to end their current 'illicit' relationship. Although this was an escape, it was also the most effective. After all, she seemed to have no choice but to escape.

Qiao Peiyu never gave her the right to choose.

Her pink lips moved slightly, but she still denied it, "No. I just think... you should go back. It has been more than a week since you came to Nandu. The day after tomorrow is your physical examination day..."

"He also said he didn't care about me. He even remembered the day of my physical examination so clearly that I almost forgot about it."

Su Li felt that he was arrogant.

She looked at him quite speechlessly, "At least we can..."

We have known each other for so many years. As a family member, we can say that we know his physical condition, treatment plan, medicines to take, and regular check-up days.

Qiao Peiyu said with a smile, "Anyway, what?"

Look, the old fox started to lure her, the little white rabbit, to the bait again.

I'm afraid he has a dark heart.

"After all, we have been brothers and sisters for more than ten years. If I, the younger sister, don't understand anything about the eldest brother, wouldn't it be very cold?"

"After my first half-year class, I became much more articulate and not like the little doormat I used to be."

Su Li was dumbfounded, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether he was praising her or hurting her.

She ignored him and continued to watch her movie.

Qiao Peiyu didn't say anything anymore. Instead, he checked with his phone. A few minutes later, he stretched out his phone in front of her and said, "The reviews of these stores are pretty good. It depends on what you want to eat."

Su Li looked at him doubtfully, then heard him say, "Didn't Mom tell you to kill me? If you want to eat or buy anything, don't be polite to me."

"..."

He won't leave until tomorrow, and now he's staying with her again. No matter what, he still needs to eat.

To eat at home, not only do you have to go out to buy groceries, but you also have to cook by yourself. It might as well be more convenient to eat out.

Just ...

She pursed her lips and couldn't help but ask, "Is it okay if you go out to eat...?"

"It's just a meal, I'm not a fool." He sneered, raised his hand and tapped her forehead lightly, "Don't be so cautious."

His current physical condition has indeed gradually improved after the disaster when he was 18 years old.

But this 'better' depends on how you define it.

From the perspective of those who knew his physical condition, his immune system was actually still very weak, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was extremely weak.

But she also knew that Qiao Peiyu was not a pushy person. If something was uncomfortable, or there was something he couldn't do, or couldn't do, he would never mince words, he would make it clear directly.

Thinking of this, she didn't say much, slid her finger on the screen a few times, and finally decided, "This is it."

It is a high-end western restaurant.

Food safety in Western restaurants is relatively high.

Qiao Peiyu nodded, took back his phone, and checked the driving route.

The movie came to an end, and Su Li's attention was drawn back.

The open ending gives people a lot of room for imagination. Before Su Li had time to feel sad and emotional about this movie, Qiao Peiyu, who was collecting computer and folder information next to her, had already interrupted her thoughts.

She saw that the time was almost up, so she went back to her room to change her clothes and grab a bag.

When she was with Qiao Peiyu, she didn't have to pay much attention to it, so she didn't pay much attention to her bag. She just picked one that matched her clothes.

It is a delicate white bag from Hermès.

The market value is about 17.

She didn't like makeup very much, so she put on her coat and came out. Seeing that he was wearing a black coat, she frowned, "Didn't you bring your down jacket when you came to Nandu?"

"I brought one thing with me." Qiao Peiyu said, "I took it to be washed yesterday morning. I was supposed to pick it up yesterday afternoon, but something delayed me."

Seeing how her brows wrinkled easily every time because of worry and melancholy, Qiao Peiyu couldn't help but reach out and touch her, trying to soothe her brows.

But Su Li turned his head to avoid it.

"Don't always frown like a little old lady." Qiao Peiyu's hand was hanging in the air, and he was not angry because of her avoidance. He even joked with a smile, "Let yourself be a fair old lady." How old are you? How ugly."

Su Li: "..."

"Although it's sunny today, it feels very windy. You'll be cold if you wear this." She ignored his teasing, "I'll get you a scarf. I'll get your washed down jacket first, and then go to dinner and dry cleaning." Is the store far from here?”

"Just outside the community."

Su Li nodded, turned around and went back to the room to get a black and white plaid scarf for him.

"This scarf can be worn by both men and women, and it will not violate the rules if you wear it."

Qiao Peiyu looked at her steadily, smiled happily, took the scarf, put it around his neck casually, and walked out the door with her.

She has lived here for half a year.

It's almost noon, and it's the weekend. Most of the people living in this apartment are office workers, but there are also some elderly people who are basically the owners of this house and have not rented it out.

Including the landlord of the apartment she lives in now, she is an old lady. She has a total of seven houses in this apartment, renting out six of them, and she lives in one of them herself.

Therefore, it was not surprising to meet her in the elevator.

"Grandma Wu, are you going out?"

"Yes, my granddaughter said she was coming to see me, but she didn't even see her arrive at this point. I went out to pick her up."

The old lady looked like she was in her sixties, with a strong body, white hair on her temples, and a kind smile. Her eyes swept across her body and landed on Qiao Peiyu.

His eyes and smile were full of appreciation, "This young man is quite handsome, Xiao Su, is this your boyfriend?"

Hearing the word 'boyfriend', Su Li panicked and subconsciously wanted to deny it, "No..."

"Hello, Grandma Wu."

Qiao Peiyu was the first to say hello and interrupted her.

"Hello."

Qiao Peiyu is so handsome, always has a smile on his face, and talks softly, so he is especially popular with this kind of old lady, "Oh, I have never seen such a handsome man in my whole life." , are you Xiaosu’s boyfriend?”

"Xiao Su has been living here for half a year. I have always seen her living alone. No wonder a few days ago I said I wanted to introduce my grandson to her, but she refused. It turns out that she has such a handsome boyfriend. Then Indeed, my grandson is really inferior, but Xiao Su has better taste."

Su Li lowered her eyes, slightly embarrassed.

When Qiao Peiyu heard the old lady saying that she wanted to introduce her grandson to her, her eyes surged and she glanced at her inadvertently.

He smiled and said to the old lady, "She and I are in a long-distance relationship, and I came here specifically to see her this time."

"Well, long-distance relationships are quite hard, especially for girls. You have to treat Xiao Su well. Xiao Su is a good girl, beautiful and friendly. If you don't treat her well, you don't know how many other girls will be treated. The child misses her."

"Grandma, don't worry, I won't let her down, except...she doesn't want me first."

Those meaningful words made Su Li's heart skip a beat.

Afraid that they would continue chatting, Su Li could only secretly pull off Qiao Peiyu's clothes and tell him to stop talking. She would have to find a way to talk things over afterwards.After coming out of the elevator and saying goodbye to the old lady, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to look into his eyes.

The sunshine in winter is warm and comfortable, but the wind blowing over is still mixed with a biting chill.

There are several residential areas on the street here, and they are all occupied by laborers. Therefore, in addition to supermarkets and some convenience stores and restaurants, the most shops below are laundries and dry cleaners.

After Qiao Peiyu took his down jacket, he drove to the restaurant they had chosen before.

Speaking of which, the two of them hadn't eaten alone together for a long time.

It's been seven or eight months.

On the day she ended her relationship with him, the two of them had a normal meal. On the way back to Lianyun Villa, she plucked up the courage to end her relationship with him.

At that time, she didn't even dare to look into his eyes, her voice was trembling, her white hands were tightly holding the corners of her clothes, her fingertips were slightly white, and she felt inexplicable nervousness and panic.

Because of this ending drama, she had practiced in front of the mirror hundreds of times.

But when she actually said it to him, her heart still hurt, as if it was bleeding, her voice still trembled, and her eyes and nose could not suppress the sourness.

Su Li sat in the restaurant, looking a little dazed.

Qiao Peiyu clearly understands her taste preferences, but before ordering, he will still ask her what she wants to eat, or if she wants to try something she has never eaten before.

She is a person who is accustomed to staying in her comfort zone and will never easily step into life outside the comfort zone.

The same goes for eating and ordering. Just be regular and order what you usually eat.

But because of her soft temper, if others force her to try something else, she doesn't know how to refuse, so she chooses to compromise.

The meal was harmonious. After leaving the restaurant, Su Li was thinking about taking a nap when he went back later. His gentle and warm voice could already be heard in his ears.

"Want to go to the movies?"

"Ok?"

"Which one do you want to watch? These two movies have been released for almost a week, and the reviews are pretty good. There are also a few new ones that were released yesterday and today."

Before Su Li could react, Qiao Peiyu had already stretched out the phone in front of her.

She blinked innocently, "I...didn't say I wanted to see..."

She just watched a movie this morning.

"Are you busy this afternoon?"

Su Li shook his head.

"Aren't you bored staying at home?"

She wanted to say it wasn't boring, at least that was how she came every weekend in the months after she ended with him.

In the past, as long as she didn't have classes or work on weekends, apart from staying with Yu Qingyuan and Qiao Xiya, she spent the longest time with him.

After hiding in Nandu, it took her three or four months to get used to the lonely and lonely days.

But she didn't expect that he would suddenly chase her and shake her heart, which had gradually gotten used to it.

"It's not boring, I... can take a nap."

"Can I sleep all afternoon?"

Su Li didn't speak.

Qiao Peiyu laughed, "Then go back. You can come and see us again in the evening."

She was at a loss for a moment, thinking that he would be going back tomorrow, so this would be her last decent farewell.

Thinking like this, the entanglement and melancholy in her heart seemed to be relieved instantly. After thinking about it, she pointed to one of the movies with good reviews called "Corridor".

"Is the one at 26:8 okay?" Qiao Peiyu asked her, "The nearest one is twelve minutes later. It takes [-] minutes to drive from here to the mall. It's too busy."

"Ah."

They had eaten quite early, so this wouldn't even be a moment, and there was still more than an hour before the movie started.

Qiao Peiyu's car was parked in a nearby open-air parking lot. After the two walked for a while, they suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name.

Su Li frowned subconsciously, but soon relaxed and turned to look at the person.

It was Ruan Fu, a colleague, and a young woman she didn't know.

"It's really you. I looked at your back from a distance, but I didn't expect it was really you." Ruan Fu smiled and stood more than one meter away from them, looking at Qiao Peiyu casually.

"Are you eating nearby? What a coincidence."

Another female colleague also echoed, "We just came here for shopping. Have you eaten? If not, can you come with us?"

Su Li, "We have eaten and are about to go back..."

She didn't want them to know that she was going to watch a movie with Qiao Peiyu later, and she didn't want them to know that she had an unknown relationship with Qiao Peiyu.

After all, she initially introduced Qiao Peiyu as her eldest brother.

"Ah, that's it." Ruan Fu's eyes fell on Qiao Peiyu again, more formally than before, and she said with a smile, "Hello, we are Su Li's colleagues."

Qiao Peiyu has a face and smile that can easily seduce women, as well as a warm and clear voice.

His eyebrows were soft, and he smiled at them and nodded slightly, "Hello everyone. Thank you for taking care of Ah Li every day in the company."

"You're welcome, colleagues should look after each other," Ruan Fu replied.

After a few exchanges of pleasantries, the eyes of the female colleague and another strange woman were already glued to Qiao Peiyu.

The heart that wants to contact me is ready to move.

Ruan Fu is quite reserved, and her words and deeds are very appropriate.

Su Li didn't want to care about these things.

The blame lies solely on Qiao Peiyu, who has a good skin and a gentle personality, which can be said to be enjoyed by both young and old.

"Then you go to eat. We're going back first. See you at the company on Monday." She interrupted their conversation at the right time, waved her hand, and got into the car with Qiao Peiyu.

When the car drove away, Ruan Fu and the others were still looking at them.

It wasn't until the car turned out of the parking lot that she looked away from the rearview mirror.

"You don't have a good relationship with them?" Qiao Peiyu asked.

Su Li looked at him sideways and shook her head, "No, I can't say it's good or bad. It's just an ordinary relationship between colleagues."

Qiao Peiyu nodded and said nothing more.

After a moment, he asked again, "How did you introduce me to them?"

After just a conversation, it was obvious that they knew his identity.

Su Li choked and said truthfully, "Big...brother."

Qiao Peiyu chuckled and said meaningfully, "That's right."

I have officially resumed updating today. I was hospitalized due to physical reasons some time ago and was discharged from the hospital yesterday. This has kept you guys waiting for a long time. Although I have resumed updating recently, the number of words may still not be too stable, ranging from two to four thousand. Ha, I will try my best to update more, okay?
