strange i love you

Chapter 11
Waking up the next morning, Qin Zhihao's mother prepared breakfast, and the three of them ate in silence.Qin Zhihao's mother also heard the quarrel last night, but she couldn't understand the content, but she almost guessed what it was about.When she was clearing away the dishes after dinner, she said to Lin Youxi: "Auntie will be home tomorrow, you and Zhi Hao can live a good life together, and don't disturb your young couple's life."

Hearing this, Lin Youxi blushed suddenly, feeling guilty in her heart, she explained: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

"Oh, I'm old, and I have a different concept of life from your young people. I'll go home and take care of the guy at home."

"Mom, please stay longer." Qin Zhihao followed his mother to the kitchen, closed the door, and left Lin Youxi outside. Lin Youxi couldn't hear what they were saying inside.

At this moment, Lin Youxi felt that she had become an outsider, and a door separated them from herself.Lin Youxi's nose was sore, she sniffed a little aggrievedly, then stood up to get her bag and went out.

After Qin Zhihao's mother left, the two had a cold war for a few days, until they were about to have a class reunion, the two reconciled, discussing how to decorate the house, what to buy, and when discussing plans, they temporarily forgot the previous unhappiness. up.

The former classmates have changed a lot. Some of them even have children, and some of them have been in love several times and are still single now.Not many people came, about a dozen or 20 people.The house was not big at first, but it was full immediately. There were drinks, drinks and cakes on the table. Lin Youxi made some snacks by herself, and she was always teased when she distributed them to everyone.

"Youxi is so virtuous, Qin Zhihao, why don't you hurry up and marry her!"

"Yes, yes, you have already bought a new house, so what are you waiting for!"

"My son can make soy sauce, you two will marry after you have a younger sister."

"..."

Qin Zhihao just laughed, but didn't take any real action.Lin Youxi felt a little stuffy, so she went to the balcony to breathe.

"Why come here alone?" Lu Li came from behind and took Lin Youxi's arm, "You don't seem very happy."

Lin Youxi sighed and said, "I haven't been really happy in the past few years since graduation."

"Aren't you happy when you get your first salary? Are you unhappy when you get promoted? Are you unhappy when your boss praises you?" Lu Li listed a lot, but Lin Youxi just shook her head.

"These happiness are not pure anymore. You have just returned to China and haven't officially started to work in the company. You will understand after you work for a while. Those difficult colleagues, bosses, and all kinds of trivial things with your boyfriend make you feel happy. People find it annoying."

"Well, I haven't figured out what to do yet."

"If I had a choice, I would really like to stay in that ivory tower in school for the rest of my life."

"Staying in school is so boring, I still have to come out to see and see, otherwise my life will be in vain." Lu Li patted Lin Youxi on the shoulder, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't be annoying, if you worry about it, you will get wrinkles."

Then she brought Lin Youxi back to the living room. Everyone was already drunk and the inside was smoky, but Lin Youxi was not affected by the atmosphere at all. What she thought was that she would have to clean up slowly after everyone left.

It seems that I have no energy for everything, and I seem to be full of pessimism about the future of life, and I seem to have embarked on a road that goes back and forth but has no end in sight.

Lin Youxi turned around and saw the neon-yellow night sky outside the window, and felt a void in her heart, as if something was gradually being lost and could no longer be grasped.

Halfway through the completion of the project, two people need to be sent on a business trip.No one in the team is willing to go. The reason is very simple. The place where the business trip is said to be a barren land. First, there is no beautiful scenery of small bridges and flowing water. Second, there is no special food to eat. Third, the place is too far away. Stay comfortably in company and enjoy the heat.

Everyone was at an impasse on the question of who would go on a business trip. In the end, Zheng Tao was the first to put it forward: "Since no one raised their hands, I'm not welcome, haha."

Seeing Zheng Tao's relaxed face, Lin Youxi was startled, and then raised her hand.

"I'll go."

Those who are on a business trip are determined in this way.

Lin Youxi's decision to go on a business trip to the barren land was not because of Zheng Tao. After the class reunion, the relationship between her and Qin Zhihao still hadn't eased. Although there was no more cold war, they were estranged from each other a lot.She thought maybe it's time to give each other some time to think alone. This business trip has four days, so let each other calm down.

When I went home at night and told Qin Zhihao about the business trip, he still said "hmm" lightly, and then didn't respond.

"You take care of yourself at home." Lin Youxi said while packing her clothes.

Qin Zhihao didn't even look up from the computer, Lin Youxi finally couldn't hold back: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Bon Voyage."

With a "snap", Lin Youxi smashed the box down, locked it, then dragged it to the corner of the living room, went to take a shower without saying a word, and then went to bed.

The next day, he rushed to the airport with his suitcase. Zheng Tao frowned when he saw her and asked, "Why is your face so smelly so early in the morning?"

Lin Youxi said lightly: "It's just that I didn't sleep well."

During the two hours on the plane, Lin Youxi asked the flight attendant for a blanket.Of course she couldn't fall asleep, she just wanted to close her eyes and think about nothing, and she didn't want Zheng Tao to see anything.

After getting off the plane, I took the airport bus to the passenger terminal, and it took almost an hour to finally reach the destination.Two people were standing in the middle of nowhere with their suitcases in their hands. When a gust of wind swept over them, both of them shivered uncontrollably.

"It's really a barren land." Lin Youxi said.

"Yes." Zheng Tao said, "The person responsible for picking us up will be here soon."

"Why did you take the initiative to ask for Ying?"

"If everyone doesn't go, don't you really want to go on a business trip? Rather than stalemate there, it's better to come up with a solution as soon as possible." At this point, Zheng Tao turned to look at Lin Youxi, "Don't you also take the initiative to apply for a business trip? Then what do you think?"

Of course, Lin Youxi would not tell her real reason, coughed twice and said, "Secret."

At night, I lived in a nearby farmhouse. The hosts were Tibetans. I drank buttered tea and ate highland barley cakes at night.Lin Youxi thought that there was still a bag of Oreos in her suitcase, so she rushed into her room immediately after eating, turned out all her clothes, and finally found the bag of Oreo biscuits that was pressed at the bottom of the suitcase.

Picking it up, she slowly tore it open with a feeling of reverence. When the smell of Oreo came out of the bag, Lin Youxi felt her heart was about to fly out.If there is a glass of milk in front of her at this time, she really wants to imitate what is said on TV, twist it, lick it, soak it, and wish to eat a bag of Oreos like a big meal.Just after eating a piece, there was a knock on the door. Lin Youxi put the Oreo under the quilt before opening the door.

It's Zheng Tao.

"You hurried back to the room, are you uncomfortable?"

"No." Lin Youxi smiled unnaturally, "I want to take a rest after a long day in the car."

But she couldn't hide it from Zheng Tao, he casually swept into her room, and found the bag of Oreos that hadn't been covered, and then rushed over to lift the quilt with the speed of an arrow.

"What is this?" Zheng Tao took an Oreo and smiled proudly of his cleverness. Before Youxi could react, she ate two more slices, with a satisfied expression on her face.

"Hey, save a piece for me!" Lin Youxi went to grab the biscuit, Zheng Tao raised his hand so that Lin Youxi could not get it. "It's so uninteresting."

"It seems that you are the one who eats alone." Zheng Tao teased.

"There's only this bag, and it's gone after you finish eating." Lin Youxi looked at Zheng Tao pitifully, "You're a big man, don't you still want to grab food from a little girl like me?"

"Didn't you call me a sissy?"

"...Is there?" Lin Youxi pretended to be ignorant, "How could I say such a thing, you must have misheard, you are the most manly man I have ever met, bar none!"

"Okay, okay." Zheng Tao handed her the biscuits, "It's too nasty, I can't listen to it anymore, it's just a bag of biscuits."

Lin Youxi took the biscuit, and quickly stuffed a piece into her mouth, lest Zheng Tao suddenly repent and snatch it.

Zheng Tao sighed and said, "We will stay here for a few more days. If I eat barley cakes every day, I will really go crazy."

"Didn't you choose this yourself?" Lin Youxi murmured in her heart, but she was asking for trouble.

"I asked just now. It seems that there is a canteen two kilometers away."

"The commissary..." It was actually a commissary, Lin Youxi roared again in her heart, this is the end of death.

"Let's go and have a look. It's not too far away for two kilometers. If it's fast, it will take an hour."

"..."

Although there was a hundred reluctance in my heart, I thought that if I ate barley cakes in the next few days, I would really go crazy, so I took my coat and wallet and followed Zheng Tao out.

There are no street lights and neon lights in the city on the roads here. When you look up, there are shining stars in the night sky, which are as beautiful as broken diamonds.The two of them walked in the afterglow of these stars, chatting about things along the way.Perhaps it was too quiet, and no one spoke afterward, as if they were afraid of disturbing the tranquility.At this time, Lin Youxi finally temporarily forgot the trivialities in life.
