Although the kidnapping incident was just a false alarm, it strengthened Jiang Hao's determination to train Qiao Xinwei and he could no longer let her delay.
Early on the weekend, Qiao Xinwei was dragged up by Jiang Hao while still meeting Duke Zhou.
"Brother Jiang, Uncle Jiang, it's not yet dawn, I can't get up."
"Does your mother know you got up so early?"
"Oh no, please, let me sleep for another ten minutes."
Jiang Hao stood beside the bed like a statue. He folded his hands around his chest and looked at Qiao Xinwei seriously, "You have been begging me for more than ten minutes."
She was going crazy. Qiao Xinwei pulled up the quilt and covered her head, pretending to be dead.
Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly and said seriously: "If you continue to stay in bed, I don't mind sleeping for another hour or two."
Hearing this, Qiao Xinwei sat up suddenly, but her eyes were still closed, and she whimpered, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu didn't let me sleep a little longer.
But on weekends..."
"I count to three and either get up or sleep together, three, two..."
"I'll get up!" Qiao Xinwei opened her hazy eyes and yawned with tears. In her opinion, if she didn't let her sleep in on the weekend, it would mean jumping directly from Friday to Monday. What's the law of heaven?
The sky in the east turned white. Gradually, the brilliant morning glow dyed half of the sky red. It was rare that the haze index was not high today. On this day, it finally returned to its normal appearance.
The two were jogging along the street, the breeze blowing on their faces, refreshing and comfortable. This is the season of spring. The jasmine flowers along the street are blooming with goose-yellow flowers, clustered together, very eye-catching. This pair
For Qiao Xinwei, this is the only gratifying place.
Taking off his heavy down jacket, Jiang Hao wore loose casual clothes, a dark gray long T-shirt with a camouflage zipper cardigan, and white trousers underneath, which were thin but stylish. They had a 100% chance of turning heads.
"Look, it would be great to go for a run in the morning."
"Don't you know that it's a misunderstanding that the air in the morning is good? In fact, the air in the morning is the worst." Qiao Xinwei tried to convince him that morning jogging was the worst.
Jiang Hao rolled his eyes at her, "Don't make excuses for being lazy. The weather is getting warmer now. It's good for your health to move around more."
"Only old people think that way."
"What?"
Qiao Xinwei shook her hand and giggled for a while, "It's nothing, haha." You can't say that he is older, otherwise he will fall out, "Where are we going?"
"Boxing gym."
"What? The xx boxing gym on xx Road?" She jumped up, reluctantly. The boxing gym was three blocks away from their community.
But Jiang Hao said calmly: "You also know xx boxing gym, it's pretty good."
"Hey, it's so far away, why don't you drive there? It's already noon by jogging."
"You can save your energy and argue with me and we'll get there faster. Hurry up and keep up!" His words killed her little thoughts in the cradle.
Jiang Hao quickened his pace and ran forward, turning around from time to time and shouting, hurry up, hurry up. Qiao Xinwei complained secretly in her heart: Are you going to the boxing gym to box? Oh no, my legs are broken when I run there, so how can I have the strength to box?
You can be a sandbag.
The sky gradually became brighter, and there were more and more vehicles and pedestrians on the road. Qiao Xinwei was out of breath and covered in sweat while running.
"Oh, I can't do it anymore," she gasped while holding on to the telephone pole, "I can't run anymore."
Jiang Hao turned around and ran back and said contemptuously: "You are so tired after just a few steps. Your physique is too bad." His relaxed appearance was in stark contrast to Qiao Xinwei, who was sweating profusely.
He couldn't help but complain, "Don't people who sit in offices all day know how to exercise? Is it so difficult to move?"
Qiao Xinwei didn't want to argue with him, and she didn't have the energy to argue. She gasped and said, "You are both right."
At this time, someone suddenly called them from across the street, "Sister Xinwei~~" It was Xu Rijia, her family lived nearby. She waved to them and ran over, "Sister Xinwei, Brother Jiang, we met here by chance.
You guys, do you also run?"
Jiang Hao nodded calmly and said: "Yes, it won't work if she doesn't run. Seeing how weak she is, she will feel tired after running a few steps."
Xu Rijia wore a bun and a leopard-print hairband on her head. She looked fresh and neat. "Haha, just run more. Sister Xinwei, let's run together, just slow down."
"Okay." Qiao Xinwei reluctantly agreed.
I originally thought that having a girl join could resist Jiang Hao's arrogance and make him realize that women's physical strength cannot be compared with men. However, this Xu Rijia seemed to be cheating, running and talking without breathing. When asked,
I later learned that he was a marathon enthusiast and ran for an hour every day, rain or shine.
——
On the top floor of the Bolan Hotel, Xiao Tianai was playing the piano alone in the practice room. In the past, she used the low and melancholy sound of the cello to heal her wounds. Now, she uses this sound to lick the bleeding wounds. Her scars were revealed when Jiang Hao said, "I can't speak."
When I said “choose words”, it was torn apart violently, and the old wounds recurred.
When she came back this time, she didn't expect Jiang Hao to come back to her right away, so when Jiang Hao said, "We will never be separated again," she was ecstatic. But she didn't expect that just a few days later, she
What was waiting for me was not the news of his divorce, but him saying that he now had another responsibility, and that he was just being arrogant for a moment.
With a "bang" sound, the melodious music suddenly stopped. She slapped the piano she regarded as a treasure hard and threw it on the wooden floor.
She chuckled softly, "Haha, Ah Hao, you have become so heartless and unrighteous once upon a time, and you can actually overturn your promise again. Do you think that I am disabled and easy to bully, do you think that I am dead? You forgot me because
Who has become like this today? Are you worthy of me?! Let me tell you, I am no longer the Xiao Tianai who was submissive and dared not do anything five years ago!
There was a knock on the door. She put away all her dissatisfaction, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Come in."
Xiaonan opened the door and came in and said: "There is an old woman named Lin down there looking for you. She didn't make an appointment, but she said you will definitely meet her. Sister Tianai, are you going to meet her or not?"
Xiao Tianai's lips twitched, why did Ahao's mother come so quickly, "See you, bring her up."
"Hey, okay." Xiao Nan stepped forward to pick up the cello and helped her set it up in place.
Lin Caiyin couldn't hold it any longer. She learned that Xiao Tianai had been having nightmares all day long after she came back. She always felt that something bad had happened, so she went to find Xiao Tianai without telling her husband and son.
Along the way, the biggest feeling in her heart was that this Xiao Tianai was really not simple, and she really regretted not exposing her after listening to Jiang Zhizhong's advice.
The small garden on the top floor has added several more colors of flowers, such as the charming red peonies and the charming magnolias, and the fragrance of the flowers has become more intense.
"Aunt, you haven't changed at all in five years," Xiao Tianai greeted her with a smile, "Come and sit down."
Lin Caiyin walked in calmly, "Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. This is a good place for you."
"Auntie is joking. I can't move anywhere and can only stay here. If I don't decorate it more fully, won't I be suffocated to death?!"
Lin Caiyin did not come here today to reminisce with her. As soon as she sat down, she said straight to the point: "My child, Ah Hao's father and I have been thinking about you very much in the past five years. We have been thinking about whether you are living well abroad and whether you are used to eating.
We are used to it. We felt guilty for a while. After all, we wanted you to live alone abroad. However, we never thought that you would come back. Didn't we agree that we would help you keep the secret? You disappeared from Ahao's life. How could you
Break your promise?"
Xiao Tianai just smiled slightly without any extra expression, "Because I miss home." In just six words, he responded to Lin Caiyin's many words.
Lin Caiyin sneered and shook her head, "I don't think it's that simple. If you miss home and come back, you won't find Ah Hao, right?"
Xiao Tianai's smile turned into a dry smile, and his cold eyes turned away.
"Son, I don't care what your purpose is for coming back. Your Uncle Jiang and I will never mention the past things again. However, now Ahao is married and they have a very good relationship. I advise you not to take Ahao's advice.
, you can’t destroy it.”
"Auntie, you have misunderstood. I am only visiting Ahao to catch up with old friends. Ruan Bin and Chen Jingye are also with me. I did not..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Caiyin slapped the stone table domineeringly, "Don't speak in such a lukewarm tone, pretending to be innocent even though your face is full of scheming. I've seen more people walk the road than you, as long as
That stupid boy Ah Hao was deceived by you."
Suddenly, Lin Caiyin stopped accusing her. She even forgot that she was wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist. With this slap, the jade bracelet was in danger. When she raised her hand, she heard two "bang" sounds and the jade bracelet shattered.
The two halves died gloriously.
Xiao Tianai said quickly: "Oh, Auntie, why are you so careless? Your hand was not injured, right?"
Lin Caiyin took back her hand. Although she felt bad for the jade bracelet, she still glanced at it indifferently, "It's not in the way, it's just a bracelet. It's not in the way for me to wear it, but you, don't change the subject."
Xiao Tianai smiled indifferently, "What a pity for such a good jade bracelet." If she would have been angry and trembling because of these words before, then now, nothing matters, it really doesn't matter, "Auntie, what are you doing today?
When you come here to tell me this, are you worried that I will get involved in their relationship, or are you worried that Hao won't be able to let go of me and will come back to me?"
"..." Lin Caiyin was speechless, feeling guilty.
"Since you are worried, there must be a reason. I can understand this reason as..." Xiao Tianai looked at her deliberately, slowed down and said, "Does Hao still love me?"
She smiled, "Ah Hao has loved me since he was a child, and he still loves me now. Even if he is married, he still loves me, so Auntie, don't force me to do things that are detrimental to his marriage, and don't try to hurt me again.
.”
"You..." Lin Caiyin pointed at her hand and trembled slightly, "You kid is too scheming and you dare to threaten me. Tsk, tsk, tsk, aren't you afraid that we will tell Ah Hao your secret?"
"As long as Hao believes in me, everything you say will be in vain."
The atmosphere between the two was once extremely tense. When they met again five years later, they were still tense. The only difference was that Lin Caiyin's sword was rusty, while Xiao Tianai's crossbow was tougher.
