Because Gu Yanjing asked for leave, Qiao Yuxian had nothing to do while staying at Fenglin Villa. He spent half the morning holding the computer to deal with some things.
After lunch, she tried to take a nap, but she didn't fall asleep, so she got up and went to the kitchen.
She remembered that Gu Yanjing seemed to prefer the chocolate flavor of the biscuits she made last time. Because he only ate two pieces of the chocolate flavor, and then she ate the rest.
So she wanted to make some more chocolate-flavored ones. She first made one the same as last time, and then adjusted the proportions to make two kinds with a stronger chocolate flavor.
She tied her hair into a bun, wore an apron, put her weight slightly on her right leg, and hummed a tune while making cookies.
After Aunt Mei got up from her nap, she came over to take a look and saw that there was nothing that needed help, so she went out to buy groceries.
And Shang Chen wandered around Maple Grove Garden like a jobless vagabond.
Qiao Yuxian spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen and made juice to reward herself.
All three kinds of biscuits were baked, and after they were cooled, she tasted them all and started canning them when she thought they tasted good.
She bought a lot of glass jars of various shapes online and picked three simple and elegant jars.
Put the biscuits and cover the lid. She went to the living room again, sat on the carpet, and decorated the jar with the stickers that were given when she bought the jar.
When I was decorating for the second time, my phone rang.
Qiao Yuxian turned her head and looked. When she saw the word Qiao on the phone, her expression paused, and the tiny smile in her eyes disappeared.
It took a while, until the phone was about to hang up automatically, and she pressed the answer button.
The call was connected, but she didn't speak.
Qiao Yu was quiet for two seconds before shouting stiffly: "Yu Xian."
Qiao Yuxian lowered his head, rubbed the sticker with his fingers, paused and said, "Yeah."
Hearing her answer, Qiao Yu seemed to be relieved. There was a hint of embarrassment in his gentle voice: "Do you have time now? I'm at the school gate. Let's have a meal together?"
Qiao Yuxian was silent for a while and said, "I'm not at school."
"Not at school." Qiao Yu was startled for a moment, and she could feel his instant loss through the phone, "What about another day? Let's make an appointment?"
"You decide a place, I'll go there now." Qiao Yuxian got up and went upstairs.
After hearing what she said, Qiao Yu didn't say anything about going to pick her up. He told her the location of a restaurant and said, "Please be safe, don't be in a hurry."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yuxian went upstairs to change her clothes and told Aunt Mei that she was eating out.
After leaving the villa and entering the yard, I happened to see Shang Chen "wandering" in the yard.
Shang Chen saw her coming out and immediately came over: "Want to go out?"
"Yeah." Qiao Yuxian nodded.
Shang Chen didn't say a word and went directly to the garage to drive.
Qiao Yuxian looked at his expressionless and ferocious look, and thought that if she watched him for a long time, she might really want to hit him.
When they arrived at the location, Qiao Yuxian got off the car and Shang Chen went to park the car.
Qiao Yu was waiting at the door of the restaurant. When he saw her coming, he took a few steps towards her and said, "Yu Xian."
Qiao Yuxian still had her hair tied up in a bun, with some strands of hair on her forehead. She looked like a charming and well-behaved delicate doll.
When she heard Qiao Yu calling her, she pursed her lips and said nothing.
Qiao Yu's hanging fingers trembled, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said: "Let's go in."
Qiao Yuxian followed him into the restaurant, and the waiter led them to the private room.
After sitting down, Qiao Yu used hot water to heat the tableware for her and said, "I just ordered a meal. Let's see if there is anything else you want to eat."
The waiter handed the tablet to Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian didn't answer, but smiled at the waiter and said, "No, just have those."
The look on Qiao Yu's face was a little stiff.
The waiter nodded and exited the room.
The father and daughter were left alone, and the private room seemed to suddenly become empty. The silence was like a stone, weighing on people's hearts, making it difficult to breathe.
Qiao Yu ironed the tableware and poured a glass of water for Qiao Yuxian. Then she found a topic and asked, "Are you busy lately?"
"It's okay." Qiao Yuxian sat with an upright posture and a straight back. It was not a deliberate appearance, but a ceremonial posture accumulated bit by bit over the years.
Dignified and elegant.
Qiao Yu sat across from her, looked at her, remained silent for a while and said, "Yu Xian."
Qiao Yuxian raised her eyes and looked at him.
"I'm sorry." Qiao Yu said directly without saying anything else, "I apologize for what I said that day. It was me who wronged you and wronged you. As a father, when his daughter was hurt, he still sprayed it on the wound.
Salt, I am not worthy of the word 'father'."
He spoke every word, his tone was a little awkward but serious,
Qiao Yuxian looked at him without saying anything.
When Qiao Yu wasn't smiling, his sophisticated and fierce aura could not help but appear. Sitting in his seat, he seemed to be holding a meeting for employees. But he nervously squeezed his hand under the table and said:
"I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just hope you feel better."
Qiao Yuxian slowly lowered his gaze, but still said nothing.
"Yu Xian." Qiao Yu said warmly, "I owe you a lot. I hope I can have a chance to make amends."
Qiao Yuxian turned the cup in front of her with her hand, and said quietly for a few seconds, "Actually, I wanted to go to college in Yuecheng. At that time, my grandfather was already in poor health, and I didn't want to be too far away from them."
Qiao Yu's eyes flashed when he mentioned his parents.
"But grandma insisted on letting me come to Kyoto." Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "She said, if they are gone, I will only have you as my only relative. If I live with you and get along well, I will be able to live with you in the future.
Have a home."
Qiao Yu took a deep breath, her lips trembled twice, and she lowered her gaze in shame.
"But you have also seen that I am doing well myself. When I get home, I feel cramped." Qiao Yuxian said slowly, "You gave me life and a generous life. You don't owe me anything."
Qiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at her, his calm expression flashing through a moment of panic: "Yu Xian."
Qiao Yuxian smiled lightly and said: "I accept your apology. Don't feel like you owe me anything in the future. My grandparents and I live happily. As for us, let's talk about the future things later, take your time.
Bar."
Qiao Yu was startled.
I don't know if it's because he grew up next to his parents, but Qiao Yuxian's words, deeds, and personality are very much like his mother's.
He looked at her with a dazed expression.
He understood that it was for the sake of his parents that Qiao Yuxian accepted his apology.
But how and whether the gap between father and daughter can be eliminated can only be left to the future.
Qiao Yu was very pleased that she could accept the apology, which meant that he still had a chance.
Qiao Yu had a gentle smile on her face.
Qiao Yuxian also smiled, lowered his gaze, and touched the safety buckle on his wrist.
The two of them had dinner together.
The dishes Qiao Yu ordered were all the sweet ones that Qiao Yuxian preferred. During the meal, he didn't talk much, but it was quite harmonious.
After eating, I came out of the restaurant. Shang Chen was already waiting outside.
I was standing by the car smoking a cigarette. When I saw her coming out, I immediately put out my cigarette and opened the door.
Like a robot receiving instructions.
Qiao Yu looked at him, her lips moving again and again. Until Qiao Yuxian left, she couldn't ask anything about her other half.
I could only watch her being picked up by Shang Chen.
