Mr. Qiao's Black Moonlight

The countryside is quiet and cold at night.

The night wind blows the curtains, bulging up high, and then falling gently, swinging in the wind.

After taking a shower, Chi Yue dryed her hair. When she didn't see Qiao Dongyang coming in, she was about to pull the window, but suddenly she was stunned.

A figure slowly walked through the backyard, walked past the flower nursery she had just inserted, and sat on a chair by the pond.

Chi Yue stood behind the window for a moment, picked up a coat and walked out.

There is no one in the living room.

Quietly

Chi Yue looked at the room where Dong Shan lived and opened the door and went out.

Her steps were small, light, and slow, and she did not disturb Qiao Dongyang.

He was very focused and did not notice that she was standing behind her, leaning lazily on the anti-corrosion wooden chair by the pond. The black parasol above her head was blown by the cold wind, and he was not aware of it. His thin shoulders, long legs, and his whole body was thin and cold.

Chi Yue slowly approached, bowed her waist and draped her coat over his shoulders, and circled him from behind.

"Run here to blow the cold wind, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

As he approached warmly, Qiao Dongyang's body tightened.

He looked back and gently stroked Fu Chiyue's hand, slowly half of her pulling it over, letting her sit with him, with his fingers tightly, "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid you can't figure it out, and this pond is not covered."

Qiao Dongyang: “…”

His hair was already a little longer, and the wind blew the broken hair on his forehead. He just looked at her, his dark and shiny eyes, like the waves crushed in the night.

Chi Yue's heart twitched violently, feeling distressed for no reason, "What did Aunt Dong say?"

He didn't look at her, his head lowered and he didn't speak.

The black tarpaulin on his head was blowing loudly.

This weather is a bit cold.

Chi Yue rubbed her hands, her body did not move, she just twisted her head and looked at his eyes intently.

"What's wrong? Did she say something that made you unhappy?"

Qiao Dongyang didn't move and nodded softly.

Chi Yue understood.

"You don't want to tell me, so needless to say. If you want to be quiet for a while, I'll leave."

Qiao Dongyang did not respond.

It's like I haven't heard it.

Chi Yue sat quietly beside him, accompanying him, silent.

After listening to the wind for a while, Qiao Dongyang turned his head, "Chi Yue, what would happen if one day you find that everything is different from your thoughts. You think good people are not necessarily that good, and you think bad people are not necessarily that bad. It turns out that your beliefs and opinions are all wrong, what would happen?"

Chi Yue turned her head and decided to see him.

His handsome face had a faint sense of helplessness in the night.

Qiao Dongyang in Chi Yue's eyes is tenacious and persistent. When encountering big things, he will actively find ways. He will not escape or retreat, nor will he be sad alone, or even hide and lick the wound.

"Did Aunt Dong tell you something?" she asked the second time.

I don’t know where he is sick, so how can I prescribe the right medicine?

However, the second time she asked, Qiao Dongyang chose not to answer the second time.

Chi Yue sighed helplessly, smiled and turned his head over, letting him face himself and face him.

The two of them collided in the night, and she smiled slightly, "You don't want to answer me. Then I will answer you. It doesn't matter if I find myself wrong. I'm just an ordinary person, I allow myself to make mistakes. Now I'm in my twenties, and the rest of my life is long, and I have the opportunity to correct it. As for beliefs and opinions, it's time to change at any time. The past belongs to yesterday. Tomorrow belongs to the future. Did you hear it? Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Dongyang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Chi Yue's lips curled: "The most terrifying thing about being a human is to compete with yourself. Qiao Dongyang, it is not difficult to accept his imperfection."

"I'm not perfect, I know." Qiao Dongyang put his slender fingers on his temples, rubbed his body, leaned back, gently placed his arms on the chair, and looked up at the sky, "But in my heart, she is perfect. At least it shouldn't be like this."

The mothers in the hearts of children are the best mothers. In the years when maternal love is missing, Qiao Dongyang has always imagined his mother as a perfect appearance. She is beautiful, kind, and needs protection. This mother sows seeds in his young heart, supporting him through his childhood, youth, and becoming the current him...

Qiao Dongyang lowered his head.

"Chi Yue, can I smoke a cigarette?"

Chi Yue nodded.

Qiao Dongyang smiled at her, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and thought for a moment. Those words that could not be said slowly in the lingering breath of cigarettes were not as difficult as he imagined.

The collision between memories and reality made him look a little nervous.

After saying that, he felt weak and depressed.

"Why is she such a person?"

Chi Yue looked at the familiar feeling of fatigue on him and frowned slightly.

"Don't talk about you, even if I heard it, I was a little caught off guard and couldn't believe it. However, Qiao Dongyang, maybe the facts are not as bad as you thought."

Qiao Dongyang looked at her.

Chi Yue said: "We should not evaluate her by secular standards. Because she is not someone else to you, we can try to be tolerant. Moreover, people are complicated, either white or black. As you said, people who look bad may not be that bad... In family and relationships, she chose feelings, hurt you and your father, and in the end, she was also punished by cause and effect. After all, she is also a hurt woman."

Qiao Dongyang was silent for a moment, "I would rather not know the truth."

Chi Yue paused a little: "How come you are sure that this is the truth?"

It’s just a one-sided statement from Dong Shan. According to Qiao Dongyang and her relationship, you shouldn’t believe it?

"When I investigated the old stories of the Qiao family a while ago, I knew a little."

In other words, he just used Dong Shan's mouth to confirm it.

"Qiao Dongyang--" Chi Yue leaned against him gently, "Can we not think about it anymore? Everyone has gone. Good and bad have gone."

"I really want to ask her why." Qiao Dongyang narrowed his eyes, looked at the pond under the night, and said coldly: "What made her abandon all this? I remember that I begged her. She said..."

That nightmare-like past has long been born in Qiao Dongyang's memory.

Qiao Dongyang has remembered what she said until now.

"It's not that my mother won't take you away, but your father... Dongzi, my mother has fought for it, but my mother is too weak, my mother can't get your custody, your father... doesn't agree, what can I do..."

"You are obedient and you will come to see you after a while."

"You grow up quickly. When you grow up, you can be with your mother."

The voice in memory is gentle, but the back in memory that left him in a hurry was so cold that it scared him.

That back could not appear in his nightmare again.

She didn't look back once.

He didn't look at him at all.

He grew up desperately

But she didn't wait until he grew up.

Qiao Dongyang didn't know when she died.

When he knows, he is already a teenager.

Qiao Zhengchong cut off all contact with his mother's family. He did not tell his mother's death, nor did he tell him how she died, and even Qiao Zhengchong refused to say where she was buried.

"I used to think that the culprit of all this was Dong Shan."

In many stories and novel plots, the vicious stepmother is so bad.

"Chi Yue, I didn't expect it to be like this. I don't believe it is true, and I'm very clear that this is true."

Qiao Dongyang pinched off the cigarette and covered his face.

It is painful to break and crush something deep-rooted.

In Qiao Dongyang's heart, in addition to the subversion of the past, he also had a little regret for Dong Shan.

"A large part of Dong Shan's tragedy was caused by me."

Qiao Dongyang's words surprised Chi Yue.

She leaned against him with heartache and gently stroked his back, as if comforting an injured dog, "Don't think like this. It's your father's problem, and it has nothing to do with you..."

"No!" Qiao Dongyang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have ligated. My dislike, rejection, and indifference are an extremely terrifying cold violence for her. And my father... is very selfish in terms of emotions."

It is said that men will only love once in their life.

Maybe all Qiao Zhengchong's love in this life was given to Qiao Dongyang's mother.

His feelings for Dong Shan are complicated.
