Long Time Loved Friend

In the quiet living room, Yun Zhi was still sitting on the sofa the same as before she entered the bathroom, even her movements hadn't changed.

Yu Mingxia wiped her hair with a kerchief, walked behind her, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Yun Zhi came back to his senses, looked back at Yu Mingxia, saw her hair was wet, with a few drops of water on the back of her hands, she was tilting her head to wipe gently, smiling at her.

"Come here." Yun Zhi waved at her, pointing to the clean carpet in front of her.

Yu Mingxia walked over knowingly, and sat down on the carpet in front of her.

Yun Zhi took the turban from her hand, ran his fingers through her wet hair, and then used the kerchief with the other hand to help her wipe her hair.

Yu Mingxia leaned back against the edge of the sofa, feeling the gentle strength of her fingertips.

For some reason, Yu Mingxia remembered the past and unconsciously chuckled.

"What's the matter? Did I hurt you?" Yun Zhi thought that she had pulled her hair, so he let go of his hand abruptly and asked.

Yu Mingxia shook his head and smiled, pointed to the TV cabinet and said, "There is a hair dryer inside."

Yun Zhi didn't take it seriously, and curled his lips: "The hair dryer is too noisy, and the hair dryer damages the quality of your hair. How can you use the hair dryer casually with such fine hair, so let me dry it slowly for you."

Yun Zhi thought that what he said was reasonable, but he didn't understand why Yu Mingxia smiled more happily.

After a while, when she was about to strike, she heard Yu Mingxia's echo: "Well, what you said makes sense."

She just remembered that when Yun Zhi brushed her hair last time, she said that using a hair dryer could dry her hair faster.

What I heard now is that she said that using a hair dryer is too noisy and damages the hair quality.

A noticeable change between the two.

She could detect the change of Yunzhi's feelings for her from some details.

"Come on, lean on."

Yun Zhi patted his thigh lightly, touched her head with his hand, and Yu Mingxia leaned against her lightly.

Neither of them spoke, only the sound of each other's breathing and the sound of wiping their kerchiefs and rubbing their hair.

It took a long time, until Yu Mingxia was about to fall asleep before he felt his shoulder being tapped.

"Dry it off."

Yu Mingxia was in a daze, then got up from the carpet, looked at Yun Zhi and asked, "Sleep now?"

Yun Zhi shook his head: "Not sleepy yet."

Yu Mingxia hummed, took the soaked towel from her hand, put it in the storage basket beside her, and then sat beside her and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Yun Zhiwen stared at her and asked, "Anything is fine?"

Yu Mingxia nodded: "Yes."

Yun Zhi nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and said, "Let me see the study?"

Yu Mingxia was stunned for a few seconds.

Yun Zhi looked at her, noticed the hesitation in her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Why? Can't you see?"

Yu Mingxia came back to his senses and shook his head: "No."

Then he took Yun Zhi's hand, pulled her up from the sofa, and said, "Come."

Yu Mingxia acted too quickly, in contrast to her previous hesitation, which made Yun Zhi puzzled for a moment.

Following her, Yun Zhi stopped in front of the study door and held his breath for a moment.

I'm even thinking about how to pretend to be generous and don't care.

But when Yu Mingxia turned the doorknob and the door opened, Yun Zhi was stunned.

After a long time, I came back to my senses and asked in disbelief, "Is this what you said is very important?"

The bookshelves are full of books, and the desks are filled with various trophies and certificates of honor.

"What's wrong?" Yu Mingxia asked.

Yun Zhi pursed her lips and shook her head.

She thought it was something related to the person Yu Mingxia liked before, but she didn't expect it to contain these things.

Although the trophies and certificates of honor placed here are very important, there are also some well-known international awards in it.

But…

She still felt that Yu Mingxia was not the kind of person who cared about these things.

"I thought it would be some of your treasured memories, and last time I asked you if you had a relationship with the person you like, why didn't you deny it?" Yun Zhi squinted his eyes, staring at her and asked.

Yu Mingxia was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I may not have noticed."

Yun Zhi curled his lips, and said, "If you deny it, I won't procrastinate until now to confess my love to you."

At that time, it was Yu Mingxia's non-denial that woke her up and made her think about too many things.

Yu Mingxia opened her lips but said nothing. She didn't expect that it was because of her that it took so long to say sorry in a low voice.

Yun Zhi was quiet for a while, then whispered again: "Besides, it's worth locking up, right? I won't steal your trophy and sell it."

"Sorry." Unexpectedly, Yun Zhi knew about this, Yu Mingxia pursed his lips and apologized.

"Don't get me wrong, I haven't seen it since you didn't let me see it last time, and I saw it accidentally even when you locked the door."

Yun Zhi's voice was a little sad, what he said was an explanation, but it was more like a grievance and complaint.

Yu Mingxia subconsciously grabbed her hand and called Zhizhi.

Yunzhi: "Why?"

Yu Mingxia pursed his lips, stretched out his arms to hug her and said softly, "I'm afraid of you like this."

Yun Zhi, who was still somewhat resentful at first, dissipated in an instant because of Yu Mingxia's hug.

It seemed that she was finding fault for nothing, and it was true, after such a long time, Yu Mingxia never seemed to take the initiative to mention that person in her ear, and she was the one who asked curiously every time.

"I don't know who apologized first, it's my fault." Yun Zhi murmured softly.

Ask yourself, Yu Mingxia has always been very kind to her since we met, and even more so after living together, not to mention after confirming the relationship.

In short, it is the evolution from a perfect friend to a perfect girlfriend.

Suddenly, Yun Zhi thought of something, pushed her away and said in disbelief, "I'm not someone's substitute, am I?"

Yu Mingxia couldn't laugh or cry at her words, in the end he just rubbed her head and murmured: "How is it possible, what's going on in your little head."

"Then why are you so nice to me?" Yun Zhi took a step back, with a straight face, "If you don't make it clear, you can sleep here today, and I can lock the door for you before you leave."

This is a vengeance.

"I know, this is only the third night..." Yu Mingxia hesitated to speak.

"Say, hurry up, or I'll lock the door." Yun Zhi said with a straight face, "violently".

Yu Mingxia restrained her smile, and said seriously: "Because I like you."

"Does that mean you are half-hearted? While you can't let go of the person you have had a crush on for more than ten years, you like me at the same time?"

"There is no half-heartedness," Yu Mingxia explained helplessly, "There is no overlapping period."

Yun Zhi vaguely still felt something was wrong.

"Then when did you like me?"

"It may be the first time we meet, or it may be the time we get along slowly."

Yun Zhi suddenly realized: "Oh, love without knowing it."

Yu Mingxia was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then when did you like me?"

Yun Zhi was attracted by her words, thought for a while, and then said: "I don't know when exactly, but I realized that my feelings for you turned sour when I just moved here that night."

After not hearing the answer for a while, Yun Zhi suddenly realized that those words before were a kind of questioning of Yu Mingxia, and even more of a questioning of their relationship.

"It's the first time you're in love, how tolerant you are." Yun Zhi coughed lightly and murmured softly.

It's like apologizing in another way.

Seeing her soft attitude, Yu Mingxia hugged her again, and said softly in her ear, "I'm sorry for my problem."

It is precisely because she can feel loved that she can't help but trust her.

"Then who do you like more than that person?" Yun Zhi asked in a low voice.

"I like you, and only you." Yu Mingxia rubbed her chin on her shoulder, whispering softly.

Yun Zhi finally became happy, bent his lips and said: "Then let's turn this matter over, and let's not mention the previous things."

Yu Mingxia has a past, and she has a past, but now she catches Yu Mingxia and asks about his past relationship, even though Yu Mingxia never mentioned anything about that person in front of her.

It seems a little too much for myself.

And at this time, even though she was chasing and questioning her, Yu Mingxia never mentioned Nan Qiao, and didn't even follow her words to ask back.

Yu Mingxia trusted her so much, so why didn't she trust Yu Mingxia?

"Sleep." Yun Zhi retreated from her embrace and walked out of the study.

After walking two steps, he found that Yu Mingxia hadn't moved, his eyes were looking around the study room, and he only looked at her after a while.

Just when Yun Zhi was about to ask, she heard Yu Mingxia say—

"Can I sleep with you?"

"Pffff—"

So just now I was looking at the study room for a place to sleep?

Yun Zhi turned back to hold her hand, and muttered, "Why are you so obedient?"

Yu Mingxia bent his lips and replied, "Because it was your order."

Yun Zhi suddenly felt that maybe she could comfort herself, there was a reason for the detours she took before, and everything was for her to meet Yu Mingxia.

"Me too." Yun Zhi suddenly said.

Yu Mingxia was puzzled.

"Me too," Yun Zhi smiled, "I like you, and only you."

Yu Mingxia bent his lips and was led into the bedroom by her.

In the morning, under Jiang Yuan'an's urging, Yun Zhi took Yu Mingxia out of the house.

The agreed place was a lakeside fishing area half an hour's drive away from them.

Jiang Yuan'an likes to eat fish, and even has a soft spot for fishing, but she has a cheerful personality, and she gets tired every time she sits for a while, and Zhu Qingmeng takes over in the end.

And she became the idler who cheered on the sidelines and ate food to replenish her strength.

Because of this, it was Jiang Yuan'an who organized them to go fishing by the lake every time.

Yun Zhi didn't make any decisions in the past, and Jiang Yuan'an and others made the decisions. However, she never came to the lake for fishing, but for taking pictures of the scenery.

At the end of the day, Zhu Qingmeng is the only person who is really in charge of fishing.

"Do you really know how to fish?" Yun Zhi asked Yu Mingxia near the lake.

While parking the car, Yu Mingxia replied, "Why don't you believe me, you know."

"It's not that I don't believe it, but if you say you can't, I'll take you to play other things. If you say you can, then I'm embarrassed to tell you not to fish."

Yu Mingxia's fingers holding the steering wheel paused, as if he heard other meanings from her words.

"Then what did you do when you were fishing?"

"Taking pictures, don't you think I'm here with a camera?" Yun Zhi patted the camera in his arms, and said, "Although Jiang Yuan'an likes to organize us to go fishing, she doesn't like to sit for so long, and often ends up It’s all about Zhu Qingmeng’s fishing, and I usually take photos casually by the lake.”

After Yun Zhi finished speaking, he paused, pursed his lips and said, "Anyway, only Zhu Qingmeng was seriously fishing in the end."

Realizing that she might have thought of something just now and suddenly realized that she was there, she restrained her words. Yu Mingxia parked the car, sighed softly, and said, "Say what you want to say, don't hold back."

"Oh, it's just according to your mouth," Yun Zhi untied his seat belt, and said again, "Let me tell you, Zhu Qingmeng's grilled fish is especially delicious."

Yu Mingxia nodded thoughtfully.

When the two took the fishing tools in the trunk to the lake, Zhu Qingmeng and Jiang Yuan'an had already arrived.

Seeing her coming, Jiang Yuan'an quickly let go of Zhu Qingmeng and ran to Yunzhi's side, took her by his arm and said, "You're finally here."

Because of Jiang Yuan'an's sudden approach, Yu Mingxia's eyes fell on her for a few seconds.

Jiang Yuanan, who had just said this, was wrong, and quickly let go of Yun Zhi's arm, raised his hand and said, "Explain, pure friendship, good sister for twelve years, her girlfriend is my good friend."

"Okay, stop making trouble." Yun Zhi smiled, and after speaking, he held Yu Mingxia's hand and said to Jiang Yuanan, "Although we all know each other, I still want to introduce Yu Mingxia, my girlfriend."

Jiang Yuan made a sound, but followed her words and reached out to Yu Mingxia: "Hello..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhu Qingmeng stepped aside with her arms around her shoulders, and heard her say, "Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Yu Mingxia chuckled.

"Why, you don't even let me shake hands with Ming Xia?" Jiang Yuan'an complained in a low voice.

"I don't want you to be rejected." Zhu Qingmeng said leisurely.

Yun Zhi felt relieved when he saw that the relationship between the two was as good as before.

Although Jiang Yuan'an told her in the past two days that the two had reconciled as before, only seeing Yun Zhi with his own eyes could he feel at ease.

Yun Zhi smiled, then took Yu Mingxia to the lake, and put the fishing rod holder and stool away.

"How long have you been here, did you catch it?" Yun Zhi asked Jiang Yuan'an.

"I've been here for more than ten minutes, but I haven't got one." Jiang Yuan'an bowed his head.

Yun Zhi pulled Yu Mingxia to sit down, and chatted for a while.

When Zhu Qingmeng, who had been quiet all this time, heard Yun Zhi and Jiang Yuan'an talking about her and Yu Mingxia, she suddenly said: "For so many years..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yu Mingxia.

"I heard that your grilled fish is delicious?"

Zhu Qingmeng, who has always been smart, understood her meaning in an instant, and replied: "It's not bad, and it can make your family know how much it is praised."

Yun Zhi was attracted by Yu Mingxia's question and couldn't help laughing.

She also boasted that Zhu Qingmeng's grilled fish is good, so that's the question.

"En." Yu Mingxia put the bait on the hook and threw it into the water.

"What? Want to learn?" Zhu Qingmeng asked.

Yu Mingxia hummed.

Jiang Yuan'an on the side refused to agree, holding Zhu Qingmeng's arm, Zhao Yunzhi spread his hands: "Pay the tuition."

Yun Zhi laughed, it was better than she said: "I don't want to eat yet."

Jiang Yuan'an became anxious, and said angrily: "No, you have to eat it. Mengmeng's grilled fish is so delicious, why don't you eat it?"

"Give me the tasting fee." Yun Zhi spread his hands towards her.

Jiang Yuanan: "..."

"An'an," Zhu Qingmeng hugged her helplessly, and said to Yu Mingxia, "Guan Guan Yunzhi."

Yu Mingxia bent his lips: "As long as she is happy."

Zhu Qingmeng: "..."

"You won't be able to bully me in the future, and I'll have someone backing me up." Yun Zhi's lips curled up, and he smiled smugly.

Jiang Yuan'an bit his lip and muttered: "Whoever bullied you, obviously I have been bullied by you all the time."

"No way, nonsense." Yun Zhi, who has always been daring, denied it. After speaking, he hugged Yu Mingxia coquettishly, "Don't listen to their nonsense, I'm very fragile."

Jiang Yuanan: "..."

Zhu Qingmeng: "..."

Only Yu Mingxia smiled at her tenderly, and nodded following her words: "I will protect you well."

According to Yun Zhi's understanding of Yu Mingxia, she said these words from the bottom of her heart, not a casual answer.

Yun Zhi was moved for a moment.

Jiang Yuanan on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and clicked his tongue: "It turns out that Yun Zhi talks about love like this."

"What does it look like?" Yun Zhi looked at Jiang Yuan'an.

"Very delicate and cute, um, to be honest." Jiang Yuan'an replied.

She is not talking nonsense, this is indeed her truth.

She had never seen Yun Zhi like this, whether it was defending Yu Mingxia or acting like a baby to her.

Yu Mingxia chuckled lightly.

Yun Zhi was about to ask her why she laughed suddenly, when she saw a fish put into the bucket prepared by her.

"Wow, is it so powerful?" Yun Zhi was surprised.

"En." Yu Mingxia nodded.

"I caught it unexpectedly, hey Mengmeng, that fish looks so plump." Jiang Yuan'an leaned close to Zhu Qingmeng's ear, whispered, and swallowed.

Zhu Qingmeng glanced at Jiang Yuan'an, then at Yu Mingxia, and said, "Didn't you just say you want to learn how to grill fish?"

Yu Mingxia threw the hook down again, and hummed: "What? Want to teach?"

Zhu Qingmeng: "..."

Yun Zhi laughed because Yu Mingxia's anti-general was on the sidelines.

She felt that Xia Xia, who found her, had a bit of a cold humor on her.

Zhu Qingmeng raised her chin, pointed to the bucket next to her, and said, "Tuition fees."

Yun Zhi was surprised when he heard the words, and asked: "Can't you catch it? Why are you coveting other people's fish?"

"But yours looks so plump. According to my twenty-six years of experience in eating fish, it must be delicious." Jiang Yuan'an said and blinked.

Yun Zhi: "Eating fish for twenty-six years?"

"It's not important," Jiang Yuan'an said again, "The important thing is that you don't lose money. You are the one who eats the most of Mengmeng's grilled fish every time, which means you like Mengmeng's cooking very much."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Mingxia and raised his chin: "Just say whether it's worth changing a fish's skills!"

"There are only a few people besides you." Yun Zhi muttered softly, but his momentum was obviously low.

Yu Mingxia saw the guilt in her tone, and nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Yuan'an put the fat big fish into his bucket with satisfaction.

After finishing, I still didn't forget to whisper to Zhu Qingmeng: "Look, it was actually the two of us who caught the first fish, earning with tears and blood."

Zhu Qingmeng nodded agreeingly: "Yeah, with tears and blood."

Yun Zhi who heard Jiang Yuan'an's speech completely: "..."

It took a while to say two words: "Childish."

Yu Mingxia just laughed, feeling that the two of them got along very well.

It can be seen that the existence of Jiang Yuan'an for so many years has added a lot of warmth and fun to Yunzhi's life.

The weather is fine today, the sun is not shining but it is a bit muggy, and there are other people by the lake, who are far away from their location.

There is grass nearby, and there are many mosquitoes. Several people even wore long trousers, and they were a little hot after sitting for a while.

Jiang Yuan'an, who was idle and bored, walked up to Yunzhi, poked her arm, and asked, "Want to buy water?"

Just as Yun Zhi took out the camera, he nodded and put the camera back.

After the two of them walked away, Zhu Qingmeng asked her previous doubts: "Didn't you tell her?"

Yu Mingxia adjusted his sitting posture, and hummed: "I didn't say anything."

"So it's not your confession." Zhu Qingmeng said.

"It's all the same." Yu Mingxia replied.

"I thought you told her about what happened in high school, but you almost leaked it just now, so it seems that you didn't reveal it at all?" Zhu Qingmeng was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the two of them were together. things.

Yu Mingxia remained silent and did not answer quickly.

Zhu Qingmeng asked puzzledly: "In fact, this kind of thing is more conducive to enhancing the relationship between you, isn't it? Why? I'm afraid she knows that you can't love her in high school?"

Zhu Qingmeng's tone was half-joking, half-joking.

Zhu Qingmeng has helped her a lot during this time, and Yu Mingxia has no reason not to believe her.

Yu Mingxia pursed his lips, did not answer her question, but told her one thing.

"I only found out some time ago that that love letter has never been in Yun Zhi's hands." When this matter was mentioned again, Yu Mingxia's mood had no fluctuations.

Zhu Qingmeng frowned, feeling that the matter was not simple, so she did not interrupt her and listened carefully.

"Have you always felt guilty about the basketball court?" Yu Mingxia asked.

Zhu Qingmeng nodded and hummed: "I have always been guilty of you."

"I don't blame you for that incident," Yu Mingxia paused, and said softly, "I only found out later that Yun Zhi did that because of Nan Qiao, and Nan Qiao actually turned back and warned me that day."

Yu Mingxia didn't say anything specific, she just hoped that Zhu Qingmeng would no longer feel guilty about this matter.

"You mean Nan Qiao?" Zhu Qingmeng has always been smart, and after a few words from Yu Mingxia, she understood what she meant, "The love letter was intercepted by Nan Qiao?"

"En." Yu Mingxia said.

Zhu Qingmeng thought for a while, but was still puzzled: "But why did she do that?"

"I didn't understand it before, but I only found out some time ago that Yun Zhi liked me in the freshman year of high school." When Yun Zhi was mentioned, Yu Mingxia's expression became much gentler.

Zhu Qingmeng didn't speak for a long time.

It's easy to connect everything together.

"Then shouldn't it be better to say that?" What Zhu Qingmeng didn't understand was why Yu Mingxia wanted to hide her love in high school.

"She was very sad when she found out that day. She cried for a long time and kept apologizing to me." Yu Mingxia said in a flat voice, looking at the lake, "When she doesn't like me, just listen to those things, but when she likes me Sometimes, I only feel distressed and sad. Compared with the past, I want to cherish the present more, and I don’t want to see her cry because of these things again.”

Zhu Qingmeng fell silent, and wanted to refute Yu Mingxia, but felt that she was right.

She has known Yun Zhi for many years, and she also knows her personality very well. Usually, Jiang Yuan'an would cry for a long time when she fell ill, let alone Yu Mingxia, who she likes wholeheartedly now.

"You are afraid that she will know that when you liked her, she treated you coldly, that she will feel guilty, that she will be sad, that she will cry," Zhu Qingmeng paused, and then said, "Then you are not afraid that she will ask you What happened in the past? Did you have someone you liked before?"

"I think she doesn't care about these things. If she cares, then it's because I didn't do well enough, which made her feel insecure or unhappy," Yu Mingxia whispered, "That's my problem."
