Chapter 43

I don't know if it was because I slept too much on the train, or because I changed the environment. That night, Rococo was lying on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. The surrounding was so quiet that she seemed to be able to hear her own heartbeat. What time is it in the United States?What is he doing now?Can you adapt to life in a foreign country?Will you still think of her occasionally?

The more he thought about it, the more sad he felt, so he simply put on his clothes, pushed open the window, and sat at the window looking at the moon outside. Could he, who was on the other side of the earth, also feel the bright moonlight tonight?
Didi Didi's mobile phone text message sounded, she picked it up and saw that it was Qiao Rui, "I heard the sound of you opening the window, can't you fall asleep? How about coming down to watch the moon with you?"

She put on her clothes and shoes and went downstairs. Qiao Rui was already there. He was wearing a thick winter coat and sitting under the cypress tree in the yard, holding a very simple jar in his hand. When he saw her coming, he patted the person beside him. Empty seat, "Come and sit."

Seeing the clothes she was wearing, he frowned slightly, and then stood up, "It's cold in the mountains at night, you don't want to catch a cold if you wear so little."

After a while, he took a quilt down and wrapped it around her body without any explanation, then shook the jar in his hand at her, "My mother made fruit wine by herself. It's mellow and warms your stomach. Would you like some?"

She poured a glass and took a sip. It was really fragrant, and the smell of alcohol was not too strong. It was a bit sweet and sour, more like fruit juice, which suited her taste very much, so she couldn't help but drank two more glasses.

After two glasses of wine, I heard Qiao Rui say there, "You still owe me a question and haven't answered it. I want to know why you and your ex-boyfriend separated? We agreed to tell the truth, can you Don't make up a story to prevaricate me." Based on what he saw and heard on Christmas Eve, Luo Ke liked that boy, so he couldn't figure out why she would treat him like that.

In this night in a foreign land, thinking of Shen Mo who was also lonely outside, a desire to confide suddenly surged in my heart, no matter who she confides to, so she really didn’t hide anything, and told all the things between her and Shen Mo He said it outright.

After Qiao Rui listened to it, she gave her a slap in the face, "If this was a story that happened to someone else, I think I would hate this heroine very much, she is just looking for trouble, what a beautiful pair of childhood sweethearts , what is even more rare is that two people can still love each other, and even separated for such an inexplicable excuse. However, the protagonist of this story is you, and I feel lucky again. If it weren't for this, you wouldn't be sitting here with me at this moment Said these words."

"Qiao Rui, in fact, I really hate myself." Maybe it's because the moonlight tonight is so beautiful that she said happily all the thoughts that have been buried deep in her heart and have never been vented. "I have asked myself many times, Whether silence is important or Jiang Yu is important, there is always only one answer, but I hurt silence so deeply because of Jiang Yu, he did nothing wrong, but I selfishly let him bear all the guilt, in fact I'm not worthy of his liking at all, maybe God let me separate from him just to let him find a better girl who deserves his love."

Qiao Rui sighed lightly and patted her on the shoulder, "Ke Ke, why don't you listen to me? Now that things have developed to this point, it's useless to think about it. Why don't you just relax and give yourself a breathing room. Two years is enough time for you to calm down with each other, and you can also take this opportunity to see how deep your feelings for each other are and whether you can overcome all obstacles. At that time, whether you continue your relationship or let go of each other, I think that will be the case. It's a happy ending."

Luo Keke smiled faintly, "In this situation, I can't let go, Qiao Rui, thank you for listening to me."

"Ha, didn't I ask you to tell me this? We were a couple in school. It's called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy."

Glancing at him, she said sincerely, "Qiao Rui, in fact, you are a very deep person. It would be even better if you didn't have such big ambitions."

"For a man, that's not ambition, but ambition... You've seen the situation in my family. My parents are old, and my two younger brothers and sisters still have to go to school. As their son and eldest brother, I have a duty to do so. If I don't have any ambition and desire, how can I support this family?"

Rococo nodded lightly, "In this point, I understand you very well, but, as a friend, I would like to remind you that it is not a bad thing for a man to be ambitious, but it is best not to use women and feelings to achieve it. purpose, otherwise it would be shameless." Although he didn't do anything to hurt her in this life, the shadow of his previous life still lingers, and even though she doesn't love him, she still can't let go of it.

This time, Qiao Rui didn't agree to her readily, but looked up at the sky in silence. There are many stars in the sky, each one is very bright, but who cares whether their light comes from themselves or borrowed from them? The light of other stars around?For him, the result is important, but the process is not.

They chatted late that night, Luo Keke drank some fruit wine, and slept soundly after the wine was strong, and didn't wake up until the sun was high.

I was very embarrassed when I went down to have breakfast. I heard that people in the mountains get up very early. She slept so late on the first day here, what a shame.

Fortunately, none of the Qiao family showed any abnormalities about this. The two children were having fun with the new toy she gave them. Father Luo also played new chess with several villagers in the yard. I picked up a broom and was cleaning the open space at the door. It was a very warm and peaceful morning.

"Are you up? The breakfast is hot in the pot, I'll get it out for you." Qiao Rui immediately put down the broom in her hand when she saw her come out.

"No need," she tugged at his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "I'll just go in and eat." These villagers all looked at her with such ambiguous eyes, in front of their faces, How can she still eat?

She hurriedly finished her breakfast and came out after washing the dishes. Qiao Rui stuffed a big plastic bag into her hand, "Go and change it."

She looked suspiciously at the plastic bag, "What?"

"Clothes. Your clothes are only suitable for wearing in the city. They are good-looking, but they are not practical at all here. Not to mention they can't withstand the cold, and they are easy to get dirty. Look at how dirty you are after you've only been here for a day. How does it look? Hurry up and change it, I'll take it to the dry cleaner in the county for you to wash, and wear it when you leave."

Luo Keke saw that the white down jacket on his body was indeed a little dirty, and the long one was really inconvenient in this rural area, so he was not polite, took the bag and went upstairs again, while walking, he heard those The villagers joked with Qiao Rui, "Rui, it's really different after studying in the city for a few years. I love my wife so much. No wonder such a beautiful BJ girl is willing to be with you."

"Isn't that right? Xiao Rui has been smart, careful, and handsome since he was a child. If I were a girl, I would like him too."

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense, she is just my classmate."

"Come on, my classmate can come all the way to this mountain corner with you? Rui, don't be shy to admit it. Look, my baby is the same age as you, and the second child is about to be born. You, too. Hurry up, get married after graduating from college, don't let your parents worry about it."

"Well, I see, but Uncle, don't talk about it when she comes down later, she will be embarrassed because she is thin-skinned."

"Okay, girls in the city are always thin-skinned. Uncle understands, understands, ah!"

Then there was a burst of wanton but good-hearted laughter, and Luo Keke's heart was tickled with hatred. This Qiao Rui, speaking so unclearly, might be misunderstood. Fortunately, she stayed here for a few days before leaving, otherwise How can I be a human being?

She messed around upstairs for a long time, until Qiao Rui went upstairs to urge her, she opened the door unwillingly, but when Qiao Rui saw her, he laughed out loud without shame, and couldn't hold back Clean up, exaggerated even tears to laugh out.

She resentfully threw the changed clothes at his face, gritted her teeth and said, "Qiao Rui, did you do it on purpose?" Otherwise, where did he find clothes with such an old style and such a tacky color? ?

Qiao Rui wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and finally said, "I swear I really didn't do it on purpose, this dress is the most beautiful one for my mother." After speaking, he couldn't help but see her appearance laughed.

Luo Keke kicked him angrily, "I don't want to wear this, you go and buy me a new one." She didn't believe him, he must have done it on purpose, maybe it was the clothes Qiao's mother wore more than 20 years ago , It’s that kind of thick cotton-padded jacket, made of silk like fabric, with lots of purple flowers embroidered on the red base, it’s as tacky as you want it to be, and those trousers are too fancy, And she didn't slim herself at all, and with a pair of old red cotton shoes, she really felt that she looked like a bear in the mirror, and it was a rare red bear!

Qiao Rui smiled and said, "Don't tell me, I think you look pretty like this." Although it's a bit earthy, compared to her fashionable and beautiful clothes, she in front of him makes him feel more kind, no It will appear so lofty.

Rococo glared at him fiercely, "It looks good, why don't you wear it?"

Qiao Rui blinked with a smile, "Didn't you realize that this dress looks familiar? In fact, it is a couple's style with the padded jacket I wore last night."

"You lied!" She didn't believe it. Although she couldn't remember what clothes he wore last night, she seemed to have never seen him look so funny.

"If you don't believe me, I'll show you... How about this, if you don't think it looks good, how about I wear it with you?"

Rococo rolled his eyes at him, "Who wants to wear a couple outfit with you?"

"Okay, let's do it this way. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is relatively large. I don't want you to come and play once and catch a cold and go back! These clothes are not good-looking, but they are very warm. Anyway, you are only staying here for a few days, so just let it go Well, at worst, I promise you that if you go out or go to a crowded place, I will dress you up nicely, okay?"

Luo Keke didn't express any strong dissatisfaction this time, but just let out a cold snort, turned around and went downstairs, it's better to be ugly than to catch a cold!
