Some people want to see you, but they will always be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers; some people want to avoid it, but they can't see you when they look up.
Take Zhuo Xi for example. Not only did he and Qin Manli meet from time to time at the workplace, but they would even bump into her when they went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities.
Qin Manli was wearing casual clothes, pushing a shopping cart and walking relaxedly in the supermarket, with headphones hanging on her ears, nodding slightly to the music casually.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound, and there was a pile of unevenly arranged rolls of paper in the aisle. Qin Manli's cart couldn't brake in time and hit it directly. Suddenly, a mountain of rolls of paper crashed down, and all around
They spread out and fell into the corners, occupying the entire aisle.
Qin Manli was extremely embarrassed, looking helplessly at the messy scene in front of her, looking around in a panic, not knowing what to do.
The girl from the supermarket ran over when she heard the commotion. When she saw the mess on the ground, she couldn't help but wailed: "Oh my God, this is the third time tonight! How long will I have to sort it out! The ones over there haven't been sorted out yet, so what?"
The side has fallen again! When will I be busy before I get off work..." As he said that, he quickly lowered his head and started to pick up big bags of rolling paper in a panic.
Qin Manli felt very sorry and quickly bowed her head to help: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let me help you."
The little girl looked at Qin Manli and saw that she was dressed fashionably. Even a very ordinary large blouse could still be worn in the style of a model. She instinctively tasted it. The little girl was in the period of puberty and growth, and was growing taller.
At that time, she had a little baby fat, and she was probably struggling to lose weight. It was natural to feel uncomfortable seeing such a graceful girl like Qin Manli, not to mention that this glamorous-looking woman also caused trouble for her.
"No, no, no, if I really ask you to help me, the manager will scold me and then deduct my money..." the little girl said with a pout.
"I'm really sorry..." Qin Manli still felt embarrassed.
Zhuo Xi happened to pass the corner, and what he wanted to buy was roll paper. Then, he saw this scene.
"What's wrong?" Zhuo Xi stepped forward and asked.
When Qin Manli saw it was Zhuo Xi, she was embarrassed and finally found an acquaintance and said, "I'm sorry, I bumped into him accidentally."
Zhuo Xi said: "Let's help her together."
The younger sister originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw it was Zhuo Xi, she was so excited that her tongue was almost tied: "You... you are not... that... the one on TV..."
Zhuo Xi raised his index finger to make a silent gesture, and then grinned: "I'm causing trouble for you." After saying that, he leaned over to help tidy up.
The little girl was so excited that she completed the tidying up work with Zhuo Xi and Qin Manli. She also used the abandoned space in the corner according to Zhuo Xi's design to make the aisle look less narrow and avoid the risk of being knocked down again.
.
At the end, Zhuo Xi was about to leave, and the younger sister wiped the sweat from her forehead. During the whole process, she almost worked in tension and admiration. Seeing that Zhuo Xi was about to leave, she quickly stepped forward and hesitated for a long time and said: "
Mr. Zhuo, can you sign your name for me?"
This was Zhuoxi's first time. He used to go out to socialize with the hosts on the station, and fans usually gathered around the hosts and actors to sign autographs. But out of politeness, he still agreed.
Qin Manli was left aside, smiling awkwardly.
After signing, the younger sister made another request, to take a picture with Zhuo Xi.
Zhuo Xi agreed and invited Qin Manli to join him. The girl curled her lips slightly, obviously not willing, but she couldn't refuse, so she had to stand next to Zhuo Xi, took out her mobile phone and asked the colleague next to her to take a picture.
Seeing this, colleagues and customers in the supermarket all recognized Zhuo Xi and Qin Manli, and rushed to take photos with them. More and more people gathered, and the smile on Qin Manli's face froze. Most of the people present were directed at Zhuo Xi.
It’s Xilai. She just came to city x not long ago, and the audience is not very familiar with her yet.
Zhuo Xi had a premonition that it would be difficult to escape if things continued like this. He turned around and nodded to Qin Manli, suddenly took her hand and rushed forward.
They ran all the way for a long time until they reached the underground parking lot of the supermarket before stopping. After making sure that no one was chasing them, they stood panting. The two looked at each other and suddenly both laughed.
Zhuo Xi said: "Why are you laughing?"
Qin Manli: "I remember when I was in the United States. I remember one time, we broke the professor's favorite flowerpot and were worried about being scolded by the professor. You dragged me away like this."
Zhuo Xi felt a little emotional when she mentioned the past. It was rare that she still remembered it, so when she mentioned it, she also remembered that incident.
But Zhuo Xi's mind was that when he was studying in college in China, one Valentine's Day, in order to make Lin Anxin happy, he set off fireworks in the school playground, which attracted the school security guards. At that time, he also pulled Lin Anxin.
His hands ran as fast as he could. He originally decided to confess to Lin Anxin that day, but was caught in the end because they escaped from the security, but they didn't expect the principal to follow them. The two were warned and punished, and they confessed to Lin Anxin.
The matter was put on hold for the time being.
Even though the past events were absurd, they were also sweet. Zhuo Xi could not help but have a smile on his lips.
Qin Manli saw this and thought Zhuo Xi remembered the past with her. A hint of joy flashed through her heart: Did Zhuo Xi actually treasure those memories in her heart?
"Zhuo, let's go have a cup of coffee together." Qin Manli took the initiative to invite him.
Zhuo Xi thought about it and found that there seemed to be no reason to refuse, so he readily agreed.
It was actually a bit awkward for the two of them to be alone together, but fortunately Qin Manli deliberately made the atmosphere lively. She mentioned her work experience in the United States, and when she talked about being happy, she still smiled as unabashedly as before. Only with Zhuo Xi
Recalling the past makes me look a little affectionate.
"Do you still remember that skydiving? I was worried to death, worried about what you would do if you couldn't open the parachute? You fell so much without opening the parachute. If something happened at that time, no matter what the outcome, I would be with you.
"When mentioning that incident, Qin Manli's eyes felt warm.
She once thought it was Zhuo Xi's way of expressing his love for her, but who knew that after that day, they suddenly became strangers. To this day, she still doesn't understand why.
Zhuo Xi was still frightened when he thought about that skydiving. His fear of heights was intensified after that skydiving. It was that day that he understood that parachuting for someone he didn't love was actually a lack of courage. If it had been Lin Anxin at the time, maybe the ending would have been different.
It's different. When life is like this, there is never an if.
"Actually, I was afraid of skydiving. It wasn't that I performed well that time, but the umbrella really couldn't open." Zhuo Xi told the truth, "Manli, I was actually very scared. But it was safe later, and you all asked
When I congratulated him, I didn't have the courage to tell the truth."
Zhuo Xi confessed his vulnerability for the first time. He always tried to show his best side in front of others and tried to suppress his cowardice, anger, and sadness. Just like Lin Anxin, he clearly cared about Lin Anxin and Yin Haoze being together. But he has repeatedly shown generosity and trust. He was unwilling to admit his pettiness in front of Lin Anxin. Thinking about it now, if he had explained it to her from the beginning, maybe things would not have developed like this, and Lin Anxin would not even have a chance to talk to Yin Haoze. Communicate more deeply.
Qin Manli looked at Zhuo Xi who was smiling wryly. There was no contempt in her eyes. She slowly covered his hand with her hand and said, "Zhuo, I'm glad you can speak out bravely. I'm sorry, it was me who insisted on using such an extreme way to test. Your love for me forced you to leave, right? After that day, I kept thinking about what I did wrong to make you unwilling to accept me. So that's it."
Zhuo Xi silently withdrew his hand.
Qin Manli was slightly embarrassed, but she was a woman who made up her mind and never looked back. She still insisted: "Do you know why I came back this time? It's all for you. I thought that if I left you, I would find someone more suitable for me, but outside After working for so many years, American men are passionate and romantic, and they will bring you many surprises, but they cannot give me stability. I have been in love many times since you, but you are still the one who I can't let go of."
Zhuo Xi was still not used to Qin Manli's direct confession. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I already have someone in my heart."
"Is it Miss Lin? I saw the report in Entertainment Weekly." Not long after Qin Manli returned to China, she learned about Zhuo Xi's emotional life. It seems that she has indeed been paying attention to Zhuo Xi.
Zhuo Xi admitted: "Yes. She was my first love in college, and I love her very much."
Qin Manli was not jealous either. For her, there was no one she liked in her youth, but she asked puzzledly: "But isn't Miss Lin already with Mr. Yin Haoze now? A reporter photographed them living together. Already."
When Zhuo Xi heard this, he raised his head suddenly and looked at Qin Manli with burning eyes: "What did you say? They live together?"
"Yes, it seems to be written in "Weekend Entertainment", which is an exclusive revelation. It says that Miss Lin has already lived in the Yin family's villa, along with her brother and son." Qin Manli said.
Zhuo Xi's mind was in confusion. He knew that Lin Anxin did not live in the original house, otherwise it was not Zhuo's mother who suffered last time, but Lin Anxin. But he did not expect that the next residence Lin Anxin chose would be the Yin family. , that is to say, she fell into Yin Haoze's arms so easily, but she was still waiting for her here stupidly.
Maybe the man she was talking about is really Yin Haoze?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Xi felt that he could no longer support himself. He left the coffee shop as if running away and dialed Wen Kecheng's number.
"Mr. Wen, when can you give me the answer I want?" He was impatient.
Wen Kecheng said calmly on the phone: "Please give me a few more days, and I promise to give you an accurate answer."
Zhuo Xi hung up the phone and immediately pressed Lin Anxin's number. The familiar string of numbers flowed through his mind countless times, and he could press it accurately without thinking.
However, he never pressed the dial button, so what should he say? Ask her why she wants to live with Yin Haoze. If she says that she just fell in love with Yin Haoze and they are already living together, isn't she humiliating herself?
