Long Time Loved Friend

After chatting with Xiaobai for a while, Yunzhi left, and didn't put too much thought on Nan Qiao's affairs afterwards.

As usual, after get off work, she and Yu Mingxia went to the supermarket to do some shopping, and then went home to cook.

When passing the vegetable section, Yunzhi picked a few tomatoes and put them in bags and put them in the cart. Both of them were not hungry, so they strolled around the supermarket leisurely, from the vegetable section to the meat section and then to the snack section.

The two wandered around the cash register, and when they were about to pay the bill, Yun Zhi's cell phone rang.

Yun Zhi glanced at the phone, and found that it was Nan Qiao's mother's call, and then pressed the mute button, did not answer or hang up, and let the phone display.

Now it's just off-duty time, and there are more people shopping in the supermarket, and the queue between the two is relatively long.

"Don't answer?" Yu Mingxia saw it and asked.

Yun Zhi shook his head, glanced at the people in front of him, there were still five or six people before their turn, looked around for a week, and found that there were not many people in front of the self-service settlement machine next to him, so he pulled Yu Mingxia over and took out the things one by one Self-service scan code settlement.

There were so many people in the supermarket and it was noisy, Yun Zhi didn't hear Yu Mingxia's voice, only the beeping sound of the machine every time it scanned the code, Yu Mingxia was passing things behind her.

When she finished the payment and was about to pay with her mobile phone, the machine beeped, and the interface displayed the words that the payment was completed.

Yun Zhi glanced at Yu Mingxia and murmured: "The action is really fast."

Yu Mingxia laughed, divided the things into two parts and put them into shopping bags, one for each person.

On the way home, just in time for the busiest time in the community square, square dance music resounded throughout the community.

"When we grow old, we will hold hands and dance in the square together." Yun Zhi said, looking at the people dancing to the music in the square.

"it is good."

Yu Mingxia likes to listen to what she said, and every sentence puts her in her future.

"Speaking of which, I still have some talent in dancing, and I will teach you when the time comes." Yun Zhi said again.

"Well, that's hard work." Yu Mingxia said with a smile.

The two chatted and got on the elevator.

Just after getting out of the elevator, Yunzhi's phone rang again, and it was still Nan Qiao's mother's call.

Yu Mingxia walked in front and opened the door, then took the shopping bag from her hand.

Yun Zhi sighed and connected the phone.

As soon as it was connected, an anxious voice came from the opposite receiver:

"Zhizhi, are you busy?"

Qiao Yan's voice was as gentle as ever.

Yun Zhi pursed her lips: "Is there something wrong?"

I don't know if she heard the indifference in her tone, Qiao Yan's voice paused, and then she said: "Zhizhi, can you come and see Qiao Qiao? She was sick and hospitalized and slept for many days, crying all the time. Your name. In addition, there is a lot of trouble on the Internet now, she hasn't eaten for a long time, you have known each other for so many years, and she only listens to you, I know, can you spare some time to see Qiao Qiao? "

Qiao Yan is a good mother, that's right.

Every time he sees a conflict between the two of them, he will secretly mediate. Just like two years ago, he told her the same way, saying that Nan Qiao's wound was infected and had a high fever, and he kept chanting her name.

"Are you guys having conflicts? Tell Auntie, I will punish Qiaoqiao, okay? You have known each other for so long, you should know that she is not that kind of person, you know, Auntie apologizes to you for Qiaoqiao, come and see See how she is?"

"Ding-"

A cup of hot milk was placed on the coffee table in front of Yunzhi, and the sound of the glass hitting the coffee table made a crisp sound.

"Sorry, I don't want to see her. I didn't want to tell you about this, but Nan Qiao came to my parents to slander me first. Although I don't know what Nan Qiao said to you, I think it is necessary now Let me make it clear to you that Nan Qiao and I broke up as early as a month ago. Not to mention what she has done these years, she blocked me at the door of my company recently, sent flowers to harass me, spread rumors in my company, and my parents Frame me up and disrupt my current life, everything is enough for me to take advantage of the hot search and expose it now."

"You are wrong. I don't know Nan Qiao well. I even think that maybe you don't know your daughter. She is not as kind and sunny as you think. I don't think she can't do plagiarism. .Sorry to upset you, hope this is our last call, sorry."

After Yun Zhi finished speaking, he hung up the phone regardless of what was said on the other end of the phone.

After staring blankly for a while, Yun Zhi suddenly drank the cup of warm milk.

Yu Mingxia sat quietly at the side, and after seeing her put down the milk bottle, he stretched out his hand to hold her again: "I know."

Yun Zhi came back to his senses and looked at Yu Mingxia: "I'm sorry, I've still been entangled with Nan Qiao's people after so long."

Yu Mingxia shook his head, hugged her lightly, stroked her hair, and comforted her in a low voice: "After all, you have known each other for many years, and it is not so easy to break up. It is already very powerful to be able to do this."

"Aren't you angry?"

"not angry."

"Then don't you think I'm procrastinating, or rather unfeeling?" Yun Zhi is now very concerned about Yu Mingxia's thoughts.

"No, I know in my heart that everything I do is right." Yu Mingxia replied softly.

"It's good to meet you." Yun Zhi hugged her back.

In the past, she always felt that such words were hypocritical, so she never said them.

But now it comes out naturally.

The phone she placed on the coffee table vibrated, it was a message.

[I'm sorry to disturb you. I thought you were just having conflicts as usual. I didn't expect Nan Qiao to do so many excessive things to you. I'm sorry to know that I didn't educate her well. I apologize to you again and thank you You take care of our emotions. I wish you success in your work and a happy day. 】

"Aunt Qiao is really gentle." Yun Zhi murmured, and put away the phone.

Because she understood that this message was a response to what she had just said, and it was also a farewell to her.

"It can be seen that she is a very gentle elder and also likes you very much." Yu Mingxia stroked her head to comfort her, "Be good, don't be sad."

"I want to eat potato brisket and corn ribs soup." Yun Zhi bit her lip and tugged at her sleeve.

"Okay, I'll make it for you, so you can watch TV?"

"No, I'll help you, and the whole family will cook together."

Yu Mingxia laughed when she heard the word "family" in her mouth.

The cause of the Nan Qiao incident was that someone broke out that her recent drawings were highly similar to the paintings of a small painter in her studio.

Along with the deep digging, other works that have been controversial have been picked up.

At first it was the source, but later I don’t know whether it was echoing others or something else. From the initial "suspect" to the later affirmation, more and more people believed that this matter was true. Coupled with the strong response of Nanqiao Studio, some people Rebellion also joined the fray.

It was not handled well for a while, causing this matter to spread, and the impact was getting bigger and bigger.

Some high school classmates even posted anonymous blog posts, saying that Nan Qiao had "stealed" her work in high school, and that the champion of the painting competition in the third year of high school should be hers.

There are too many people fishing in troubled waters, and it is doubtful whether it is true or false, but it does not prevent others from taking this matter as a joke.

In the past two days, even though Yun Zhi didn't pay attention to Nan Qiao's matter, he had already learned about it in the company's bathrooms and tea rooms.

Yun Zhi didn't think about it carefully, because from what she saw now, it's not unusual for Nan Qiao to do anything.

That day, as soon as she came out of the bathroom on the second floor, she bumped into two girls.

When they first saw her, they were quiet for a while.

Afterwards, the two pushed and shoved each other, and finally one of the girls faltered and asked her:

"Mr. Yunzhi, is the story about Nan Qiao that is said on the Internet true?"

"Aren't you good friends? You should know about this, right? You canceled it because you knew she plagiarized other people's works, right?"

Yun Zhi washed his hands, took out a piece of clean paper, wiped his hands slowly, and threw the paper into the wastebasket before saying:

"I don't know her well, please don't bother me with this kind of thing."

Originally, this matter could be dealt with quickly, but Nan Qiao is young and promising. At a young age, he held a highly praised art exhibition in the industry. Coupled with Qiao Yan's reputation in the art world, this time things will change. Get tricky.

Whenever a matter is about to be resolved, something new will emerge, which causes the matter to be repeatedly discussed for several days. It seems that there is a push behind it, and it is not a simple accidental exposure.

Yun didn't know if the two of them listened to what she said, but after that, no one bothered her because of Nan Qiao's affairs.

But when Xiaobai sent her a message at night, she realized that the two of them distorted what happened during the day, spreading what she said at that time vividly.

Of course, this dissemination is not based on her original words, but has been embellished.

【Yun Zhi frowned disgustedly when he heard the word Nan Qiao, his eyes seemed to be saying something bad. 】

[Yes, yes, yes, I testify that Yun Zhi said that he is not familiar with Nan Qiao, and he used to help her promote the art exhibition. How could he be unfamiliar? I guess it must be because Nan Qiao's affairs were exposed, and Yun Zhi broke up with her. 】

…

Yun Zhi looked at the screenshot of the message Xiaobai sent her in a daze. This group of people analyzed her expressions, really amazing.

Yun Zhi thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure out how the two of them could think of so many things through her simple sentence.

But this matter has nothing to do with her. She can only guarantee that she has never said such a thing. As for how others understand it, it is someone else's business.

Yun Zhi's heart is not hard, but whenever she thinks back to the past, she thinks more about those ten years, Nan Qiao who drove away the people around her in order to satisfy her selfish possessive desire, and those who were raped by her. Innocent girl hurt.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhi couldn't help but feel soft.

In the past two days, Yu Mingxia seemed to have accumulated a lot of work, and no longer stayed in the office every day like before. When she was busy, Yu Mingxia only belonged to her when she went home at night.

On Wednesday, after Yun Zhi finished his work, he waited in the office for Yu Mingxia to come back.

Yun Zhi was bored and played with the computer for a while, and searched for things in the search interface in a bored way.

Suddenly remembered the wedding dress, Yun Zhi remembered that Yu Mingxia said that the wedding dress was her graduation project.

It stands to reason that the graduation project should have a name.

Yun Zhi didn't know how to search, so he searched for Yu Mingxia's name in the search box.

Only then did Yun Zhi discover that her name and Yu Mingxia's name were linked together on the search page.

Just input Yu Mingxia, and the entry of Yu Mingxia Yunzhi will appear.

Feeling happy, Yun Zhi searched for her own name in the search box. Similarly, Yu Mingxia's name appeared behind her name.

"How should this be eliminated." Yun Zhi looked at the screen and muttered to himself.

On the screen, following her and Yu Mingxia's names was Nan Qiao's name.

Yun Zhi forgot what he wanted to do before, and began to search for how to eliminate related entries.

Just after opening the interface, Yun Zhi's cell phone rang, and it was Weng Lu's call.

Two days ago, Weng Lu called her once to ask her about Nan Qiao.

Even though she told Weng Lu about her and Nan Qiao last time, Weng Lu was still vaguely worried about Nan Qiao.

I don't know if she didn't speak harshly enough last time, or because Weng Lu regards Nan Qiao as a junior and has been with Nan Qiao for a long time, so she doesn't want her to have a bad life.

Yun Zhi thought that Weng Lu was going to ask her about Nan Qiao again, so after answering the call, he put the phone aside on the table and turned on the speakerphone.

"have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Then what are you doing?"

"Waiting for my girlfriend to have dinner after get off work."

While Yun Zhi was answering, his eyes stayed on the computer interface, trying to eliminate the connection between her and Nan Qiao.

If one day Yu Mingxia suddenly searched for her name, would she feel uncomfortable when she saw it?

Alas, in fact, she also knew that Yu Mingxia would not be uncomfortable, it was herself who was uncomfortable.

Yu Mingxia was so kind to her that she didn't know what to do to repay her affection.

"Why don't you talk?"

Yun Zhi came back to his senses and said, "What did you just say?"

Weng Lu: "I told you to bring her back to have a look."

Yun Zhi sighed: "There is no one who meets parents right after falling in love, let's talk about it after a while."

Weng Lu: "Aren't I afraid that you will be cheated again?"

Yun Zhi: "You also know that I was cheated, so you asked me about Nan Qiao two days ago?"

"..." Weng Lu was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "Isn't this old and likes to watch the excitement, and I won't help people who bully you."

Yun Zhi was stunned, and she realized that she had misunderstood Weng Lu again. When she asked about Nan Qiao before, she subconsciously thought that Weng Lu was worried about Nan Qiao, and maybe even thought of asking her to help.

When did it start?

She began to subconsciously think that her mother was helping others, even thinking that such behavior was normal.

Yun Zhi couldn't remember either.

"I..." Yun Zhi hesitated to speak, picked up the phone on the table, turned off the speakerphone, and put it to his ear.

Weng Lu didn't seem to notice that she was hesitating to speak, and continued to speak: "You take her home and I'll take a look for you. I promise I won't bully her, okay?"

Seeing that the topic was over, Yun Zhi answered her in a low voice, pursing her lips: "She is very nice and treats me very well. We love each other very much. Really, don't worry about me."

Weng Lu: "Some people hide deeply, and you can't see anything when you're young."

Yun Zhi frowned, although he knew that Weng Lu was thinking about her, but he was still a little angry when she heard Yu Mingxia say this: "Mom, if I misjudged the person this time, I will never fall in love for the rest of my life, okay?"

Weng Lu: "..."

Yun Zhi was about to reassure her when she heard a rough warning voice from the receiver:

"Yunzhi, if you dare to fall in love with your brain, I will break your legs."

Weng Lu: "Go out, why do you interrupt when I'm talking to my daughter?"

Yunzhi: "..."

"I'll call you, but your father insists on listening. I've kicked him out now."

Yun Zhi let out a long oh.

"Zhizhi, you may be angry if you say this, but I still have to tell you," Weng Lu paused, and then said, "A few days ago, your father planned to transfer Yu Mingxia's information, but I stopped him. It’s better to wait for your daughter to bring him back to see for himself, so he didn’t investigate.”

"It's not difficult for your father to check someone in Yuncheng, so..."

Yun Zhi was stunned.

She forgot about it.

It should be said that Nan Qiao and Jiang Yuan'an Zhu Qingmeng were also secretly checked by them.

At that time, she also quarreled with the two of them.

"I see, give me some time."

When Yun Zhi calmed down, she didn't know whether it was out of concern for her children or because she had been in the business world for a long time. Whenever there was someone around her, the two of them would remind her, so it was not without reason that she was on guard since she was a child.

But she did suffer.

So she felt that the behavior of the two of them was too much, but also understood that they were protecting her, a kind of contradictory and complicated mood.

"What are you thinking about?"

Yun Zhi's thoughts were recalled by Yu Mingxia's gentle voice, and when he looked up and saw Yu Mingxia's gentle eyes, Yun Zhi's previous unhappiness disappeared.

"I was wondering when you would come back." Yun Zhi got up and asked again, "Can I get off work?"

Yu Mingxia put the documents back on the table, then walked towards her, held her hand and said, "Well, what do you want to eat today?"

Yun Zhi was not satisfied with her holding hands, but put his hands around her waist and hugged her and whispered, "Today I will cook braised fish for you, okay?"

"it is good."

All of Yu Mingxia's answers were within her expectations. During this time, as long as it was something she said, Yu Mingxia would either agree with her or answer her yes.

"What's wrong?" Yu Mingxia saw that she didn't respond, raised his hand to stroke her hair, and asked softly, "Are you unhappy?"

"I just feel like you can answer everything I say." Yun Zhi looked up at Yu Mingxia and replied in a low voice.

"Is this not good?" Yu Mingxia lowered his eyes and kissed her eyelashes.

"It's not bad, I just feel that you are a little too kind to me, and you will never be angry with me." Yun Zhi didn't know what he wanted to say, but he felt that Yu Mingxia was too kind to her, so good that she began to reflect on herself Feelings for Yu Mingxia, even thinking about why Yu Mingxia's feelings for her are so deep.

Yu Mingxia is always gentle and doting on her, tolerates all her bad tempers, never mentions the past, never refute her words, let alone get angry.

Yu Mingxia was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yun Zhi to say such a thing.

Yun Zhi bit his lip, seeing that she didn't answer, he joked: "Every time it's my request, it seems that you will say yes without hesitation, so if one day I ask you to break up, will you also say yes?"

Saying the word "breakup" from her mouth was so light and natural, like the fallen leaves fall off naturally in the season, without any nostalgia.

Yu Mingxia felt a sharp pain in his heart, and even unconsciously clenched the other hand that was holding Yunzhi.

Yun Zhi felt the force on her wrist, the coldness of her fingertips, and the gentle look in her eyes gradually dissipated, allowing people to see through her helplessness and stupefaction at a glance.

Yun Zhi bit her lip, realizing what she just said.

I began to understand Jiang Yuan'an's words and actions before, and also remembered what she said at the time—

——She just let you too much, so you have nothing to worry about.

Why is she not.

There is nothing to fear, so it is unreasonable to make trouble.

"I..." Yun Zhi wanted to explain that she was just joking just now, but she couldn't say a word when she met Yu Mingxia's hurt gaze.

She just went too far.

"Yunzhi." After a while, Yu Mingxia called her.

The voice was no longer as gentle as before, calm and calm.

Yun Zhi subconsciously stood up straight.

Yu Mingxia took a step back, his eyes fell on Yun Zhi.

"You can tell me what I didn't do well, and I will change it. If there are conflicts and problems between us, we can also run in and solve the problem together."

"I don't think there is a problem with what you said. Maybe you will be happy because I answered well, and I want to treat you well. I treat you well because I love you and because you deserve to be loved."

"It's hard enough to meet and fall in love. I don't want to waste time getting angry."

"I made you feel insecure, sorry, but as for what you said—"

"Don't even think about it. You can do whatever you want, but I won't agree to breaking up with you. So don't mention these two words again in the future."

Yun Zhi listened to Yu Mingxia's words in a daze.

She could clearly hear the anger and trembling in Yu Mingxia's voice, which was extremely restrained.

She was angry and also scared.

Unprecedented panic welled up in Yun Zhi's heart.

Yu Mingxia hugged her again, rubbed his chin on her shoulder, and said in a low voice: "I'm very sad when you say such a thing, please don't mention these two words again in the future, okay?"

"I see."

Yun Zhi nodded blankly, listening to her sadness and restrained anger in her words, Yun Zhi felt his heart was also torn.

She shouldn't have said such things and made Yu Mingxia sad.

On the way home, the car was very quiet. Yu Mingxia, who didn't like driving music very much, turned on the music when he got in the car.

Yun Zhi felt that she was angry, but Yu Mingxia just told her not to think about it, and got home after a good night's sleep.

But Yu Mingxia didn't smile when he said this, and he wasn't as gentle as usual.

When getting out of the car, Yun Zhi purposely walked quickly to her side, took the initiative to hold her hand, and asked coquettishly, "Do you like to eat braised fish?"

Yu Mingxia seemed to pause for a moment before saying, "I like it."

Yun Zhi pursed her lips, she remembered that Yu Mingxia used to say "I like whatever you do".

After returning home, Yu Mingxia asked her if she would like tea as usual.

Yun Zhi didn't answer, just followed behind her like a little tail.

After being followed for a while, Yu Mingxia was helpless, and asked her with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Yunzhi asked softly, "Are you angry?"

Yu Mingxia said helplessly, "A little bit."

Yun Zhi bit her lip, she realized that she was afraid that Yu Mingxia would be angry, so she opened her lips after a while: "I...yes..."

Yu Mingxia interrupted before he finished apologizing.

"I know," Yu Mingxia sighed, "Are you sure I'm going to be angry?"

Yun Zhi looked down, Mingming Yu Mingxia didn't do anything, didn't say a word to her, and didn't even ignore her.

But her heart was fluctuating and she was very scared.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a while, Yu Mingxia sighed again, raised his hand to hold her cheek to comfort her, but what he didn't expect to see was that Yun Zhi's eyes were red and tears were rolling in them, extremely wronged.

Now Yu Mingxia panicked, and quickly hugged her to comfort her: "I'm sorry, Zhizhi, I'm not angry, so I won't cry."
