Long Time Loved Friend

"Is it not good for us to do this?" Yun Zhi covered his face with the menu and asked Yu Mingxia in a low voice.

Yu Mingxia hesitated and said, "Then shall we leave now?"

Yunzhi glared at her lightly: "It's all here."

The two were in a cotton city specialty restaurant.

There are potted plants between each table in the restaurant, even the adjacent seats are well concealed.

After a while, the waiter walked up to the two of them.

Now Yunzhi hesitated, she asked Yu Mingxia: "Why don't you go?"

Yu Mingxia chuckled, handed the checked menu to the waiter and said, "Everyone is here."

Yun Zhi pouted.

"I don't know if it's a good idea."

"Don't think too much, they are here." Yu Mingxia squeezed Yun Zhi and sat inside.

The location was determined by Yunzhi.

Yu Chuxue and Qu Lan entered the restaurant one after the other.

The waiter walked up to the two of them.

It was meal time at this time, and there were more people in the restaurant.

Yu Chuxue lowered her head and checked the menu, then handed it to Qu Lan who was opposite: "Look at what else you need."

Because she knew the other party well enough, Yu Chuxue helped Qu Lan order food when she usually travels.

"Thank you." Qu Lan didn't ask her to order casually like before, but took the menu and ordered two more dishes before handing them to the waiter.

After the waiter left, the atmosphere between the two was a little quiet.

There is no music playing in the restaurant, only the rustling voice of the people next to you can only hear the sound, which is not real.

In the past, there was never a cold silence between them, and they could chat about anything, and Qu Lan would not be as quiet as she is now.

Yu Chuxue pursed her lips and looked at the person opposite.

Qu Lan lowered her head, sliding her fingertips on the phone.

The eyes of the two haven't met since they entered the restaurant.

"Qu Lan."

Yu Chuxue called her.

Qu Lan's fingertips that were sliding the phone paused, then turned off the screen and looked up at her.

She has seen this face for many years, but she has never felt so relaxed as she is now.

After meeting her eyes, Yu Chuxue suddenly didn't know what to say.

Qu Lan still couldn't bear to see her bewildered.

She took the initiative to say: "You know, before I saw that you never dared to exceed ten seconds."

She bent her lips and smiled bitterly.

When she finished saying this, it was already more than ten seconds.

"Looking at it for a second, I'm afraid that you will know what you want." Qu Lan looked away and said in a low voice.

Even though she had thought about it at this point, she would still feel dazed when it happened.

"At the beginning, I blamed you for why you exposed it. Now I think it's good to expose it. At least I don't have to find reasons to avoid your gaze." Qu Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, I mishandled it." Yu Chuxue was in a mess and could only say this apology.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, you didn't do anything wrong," Qu Lan said with a smile, "Actually, I was woken up by a knock some time ago."

"If you really like her, how can you be good friends for such a long time? Look at Yun Zhi and Ming Xia. They fell in love with each other only after being friends for a long time. In fact, if you don't like it, you just don't like it. It doesn't matter how long you stay by your side."

Qu Lan actually understood this truth a long time ago, but she couldn't bear it anymore and still felt regretful in her heart, thinking about waiting and waiting.

After waiting and waiting, Yu Chuxue asked.

Yu Chuxue didn't say a word, she didn't know what she should say, but she knew that Qu Lan didn't want to hear her send a good card.

"The only thing I still regret is that I didn't confess my love to you before you asked, and I evaded when you asked, evasive, and didn't answer your question directly."

"Yes, I like you. It may be from the first time I saw you in a high school competition, or it may be when I saw you again in a foreign country. Anyway, it has been a long, long time. I see you rejecting others and seeing you like others."

"Actually, I also feel very lucky. There are many people coming and going around you, and finally I have accompanied you to the present."

Qu Lanxu babbled, her expression became more and more gentle, and occasionally her eyes would turn red.

Yu Chuxue has a strong sense of professionalism. When others are thinking about dating and dressing up, she is thinking about how to start a business every day, and she has also encountered many obstacles.

I also received many confessions from people, but they all rejected them. At that time, she was glad that she didn't confess directly.

It was only later that I found out that Yu Chuxue would also have someone she couldn't love.

There was no other special person around Yu Chuxue. Maybe it was a long time, and she was used to this kind of peace, so she didn't dare to break the relationship between them.

After trying it out, she could know that Yu Chuxue had no idea about her.

"Before coming here, Yun Zhi told me a way to let me try, but she didn't know that I had used this trick before."

Hearing that she was going on a blind date, Yu Chuxue was indifferent to her family's arrangement for a marriage, and even wished her a good man.

How can someone who can say such a thing have thoughts about her.

It's useless to stimulate people who don't like themselves.

Yu Chuxue's eyes flickered, especially when she saw Qu Lan's flushed eyes, her mind was blank and her heart was depressed.

Qu Lan has always been cheerful and strong. She has never seen her cry. Even when starting a business was the most difficult time, Qu Lan was never sad like this. She even tried to cheer her up and comfort her.

"I've said everything I need to say, and I don't have any regrets. Let's eat."

When the waiter was serving the food, Qu Lan accepted the words and smiled slightly.

Yu Chuxue looked at Qu Lan in front of her, and remembered her from a long time ago.

At that time, she was the only friend who accompanied her in a foreign country.

"We..." Yu Chuxue paused, but couldn't say anything after that.

—Can we still be friends?

She couldn't say such exaggerated words.

Maybe the irritability of these days has found the source.

Perhaps the annoying thing is her self-righteousness, as Yu Mingxia said, making decisions that she thinks are beneficial to the other party.

Arrogant and indifferent to each other's emotions.

"Sorry." After a long time, under Qu Lan's direct gaze, Yu Chuxue only apologized.

Qu Lan looked away, poured a cup of tea for her, and while putting the tea set, she replied to Yu Chuxue: "What are you sorry about, you can only praise me for my good acting skills, and I have hidden it so deeply that you have not noticed it for so many years. "

"Substitute tea for wine, so we won't mention the past." Qu Lan raised her glass to her.

A simple and plain sentence.

Yu Chuxue looked at the tea in front of her, and the restless mood from before came back again.

After a long time, she slowly raised her glass and clinked glasses with her.

"What did you hear?" At the next table, Yun Zhi leaned against the sofa and asked Yu Mingxia next to him.

Yu Mingxia shook his head: "I didn't hear anything."

"I seem to have heard my name." Yun Zhi bit his lip, "I didn't hear anything else."

"But it feels like they're not doing well." Yun Zhi sighed.

Yu Mingxia hummed.

Sometimes Yu Chuxue's temperament is really unpredictable.

"Is your sister wooden? Anyway, Qu Lan has been with her for so long, and she doesn't like anyone else. What if I try to date?"

Yun Zhi was still angry.

"Don't be angry," Yu Mingxia comforted her, guessing Yu Chuxue's thoughts, and said to her, "Maybe she doesn't know what kind of feelings she has for Qu Lan?"

Yun Zhi looked at her when he heard the words, and asked doubtfully, "Did you wake her up?"

Yu Mingxia nodded: "I ordered it, but she can't tell the difference. Even if she has an idea, she might think about whether it's because of the habit of being moved or because she likes it. The two of them have been together for too long, so it's hard to tell the difference."

For so many years, Yu Chuxue has never had any other thoughts about Qu Lan, and she can actually see her current mood.

"Although what you said makes sense, I still feel sad when I hear it." Yun Zhi pursed his lips, sullen.

Maybe it was because she thought too much, when she saw Qu Lan, she would look like she was looking at Yu Mingxia's past, so she tried her best to help her.

Yu Mingxia pursed his lips, took her hand, and whispered, "There is still a chance."

Yun Zhi could only nod his head.

Looking up again, Yu Chuxue and Qu Lan were walking outside the restaurant.

"What should we do now?" Yun Zhi asked.

"Go home." Yu Mingxia replied.

Now it seems that the two of them must be preparing to go home, and there is no point in following them.

"Okay," Yun Zhi paused, and said pitifully, "You must talk to Yu Chuxue more."

Yu Mingxia nodded: "I know, I really want them to be together."

One who gets what he wants, and one who has a reliable long-term companion by his side.

"I see you off."

After leaving the restaurant, Yu Chuxue said to Qu Lan.

After finishing the call, Qu Lan didn't have any appetite, so she said to leave after she stopped chopsticks, and Yu Chuxue followed.

Qu Lan originally wanted to say that she came by car.

But when she met Yu Chuxue's eyes, she suddenly became quiet, unable to utter a word of refusal.

Then pamper yourself one more time.

"Okay," Qu Lan paused, then added, "Thank you."

Yu Chuxue was no stranger to her politeness these two days.

Hmm, then found the car and helped her open the door of the passenger seat.

Qu Lan sat in.

The two were relatively silent along the way.

Yu Chuxue seemed to really be planning to send her home.

Qu Lan lowered her eyes.

She seemed to be expecting something she shouldn't expect to happen.

Qu Lan's house is not far away, 20 minutes by car.

During these twenty minutes, the two chatted only a few sentences.

"It's here." Yu Chuxue stopped the car and said aloud.

Qu Lan came back to her senses and raised her hand to unbuckle her seat belt.

The cool wind at night was bitingly cold, and as soon as Qu Lan got out of the car, he felt his face being slapped mercilessly by the wind.

And also her heart.

Both of them understood what this separation meant.

Compared with the last chat, this time is the real open heart.

Qu Lan has said everything that should be said, but Yu Chuxue still hasn't been moved.

When she got out of the car, Yu Chuxue also opened the door.

Qu Lan took two steps and came in front of Yu Chuxue.

"Although saying this may be a bit pretentious or meddling, I still want to say it," Qu Lan paused before adding, "In the future, you must take care of yourself. The world is bigger than your body, and your career is no more important than yourself. Although you are a sister, you have the right to complain, and Yu Mingxia will listen to you."

"Then, I wish you to find someone you like, and someone to accompany you so that you are not alone."

At the end, Qu Lan looked away.

The cool wind at night made the roadside branches sway lightly, and the dead leaves fell all over the ground. Qu Lan lowered her head and toes and stepped on the fallen leaves.

Yu Chuxue looked at Qu Lan's slightly childish movements, and was slightly absent-minded, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qu Lan didn't even answer her goodbye.

"That's it, let's go." Qu Lan waved her hand, the corners of her lips curved in a normal arc, and her voice was the same as when she was saying goodbye.

Saying goodbye to her.

Maybe not today, but later.

Is it important to distinguish friendship or love?

Is it more important than Qulan?

Yes, important.

But Qulan is just as important.

At least she should be told that she is important.

Yu Chuxue raised her head and looked at Qu Lan who had just walked not far away. Just as she was about to speak out, she saw Qu Lan suddenly turn around.

Qu Lan hugged her shoulders, feeling that tonight's night was extraordinarily cold, and the cold went into her heart.

She was so sad because of the cold.

Her pace gradually slowed down.

Is there really an effort?

I worked hard as a friend, but did I make any effort to fight for love?

She refused.

But so what.

Just give up like this?

Are you willing?

Qu Lan asked herself.

Mingming Yu Chuxue has no one around, so why can't it be her?

Thinking of this, Qu Lan's steps stopped.

Pretend to be generous.

Are you really relieved that others will take care of her?

Qu Lan turned around.

Yu Chuxue hadn't left yet, she was still standing by the car and looking at her.

There was no one on the side of the road, and the surroundings were silent.

Qu Lan turned back again.

Yu Chuxue pursed her lips and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qu Lan tilted her head slightly, her eyes slowly moved down from her eyebrows, and finally stopped on her lips.

Under her puzzled eyes, Qu Lan raised her head slightly and pressed her lips on it.

With a bit of coolness, but also with a bit of lemon fragrance.

Yu Chuxue was stunned, only felt that the blood in her body was congealed, the hand placed beside her was slowly clenched into a fist, her heart beat gradually slowed down, and everything around her became quiet.

She lowered her eyes and saw Qu Lan with slightly closed eyes and slightly red cheeks.

They had never been so close before.

After an unknown amount of time, Qu Lan let go of her slowly.

All eyes were Yu Chuxue's surprised and stunned expression, bitterness in his heart, but he pretended to be nonchalant, and joked with Yu Chuxue in a normal tone:

"I've been with you for so many years, do you mind a kiss?"

This is the trick Yun Zhi told her.

Find a way to break the existing relationship between them and let her understand that there is more than just friendship.

However, it seems that it is useless to Yu Chuxue.

Qu Lan smiled wryly.

"It's useless to mind, anyway, we've already kissed." Qu Lan brushed her ears and hair, and smiled.

Let's talk about things later.

It's really not good, this kiss is enough for her to remember for a lifetime.

Qu Lan tilted her head, raised her hand and waved in front of her, and said hello again: "Goodbye."

Qu Lan turned around, the smile on her face gradually dimmed.

When she had just taken two steps, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her, stepping on the withered yellow leaves, making a soft creaking sound.

Qu Lan stopped in her tracks, and turned her eyes to the hand that was holding her wrist tightly.

"Qu Lan."

This call had a different meaning than usual, and Qu Lan's heart trembled slightly.

Before she could react, she was suddenly pulled into her arms.

Familiar fragrance, people close at hand.

The waist surrounded by her.

"Sorry." The familiar voice of apology made Qu Lanxin suddenly turn cold.

It's just that the coldness didn't last long, the person in front of him suddenly lowered his eyes, and his slightly cool lips suddenly approached.

Qu Lan still felt in a trance until she really felt the softness of her lips.

Yu Chuxue took the initiative to kiss her.

It turned out that her apology was different from the previous one.

"Close your eyes."

Hearing this command, Qu Lan subconsciously closed her eyes.

I don't know how long it took, until Qu Lan felt the temperature around her rise, the world was quiet, only the breathing of the person in front of her ears, and the sound of their lips and teeth colliding.

Different from her careful light kiss before, Yu Chuxue's kiss was much hotter.

Qu Lan accepted her temperature blankly, all of this seemed so unreal.

Is it because of her courage?

Or because of something.

Why did Yu Chuxue kiss back.

Qu Lan's mind was in a mess, this kiss made her happy but frightened.

After a long time, Yu Chuxue let go of her, and pursed her lower lip, which was moist and reddish.

Qu Lan's eyes flickered, she opened her lips but didn't say a word.

"Qu Lan." Yu Chuxue finally spoke.

"En." Qu Lan looked at her and responded.

"Do you mind if my liking came later than yours?" Yu Chuxue asked suddenly.

"What?" Qu Lan was puzzled.

Does she mean she likes it?

"Let's try dating." Yu Chuxue asked her softly.

Qu Lan couldn't believe what she heard, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"I want to say that you are very important, but the moment you kissed me," Yu Chuxue paused, and reached out to hold her hand, "I suddenly realized that it's not just friends that are important."

Probably this is the feeling of unexpected joy.

Just now she was just sad, and she could hold back her tears, but at this moment she couldn't control her tears because she was happy.

I thought it was over between them.

"I'm not responding to you, I'm pursuing you," Yu Chuxue's voice was soft and gentler than ever before, "You can refuse."

Qu Lan raised her head and reached out to hug her.

"Why should I refuse? I have been waiting for you for so long."

As if not just being irritable because of a change of habit.

And anxiety and doubt.

When the habit is immersed in the bone marrow, it finally becomes a liking.

It may be that they were too close to be ignored before, or it may be that this love has just formed.

But no matter what, Qu Lan is important to her.

Yu Chuxue hugged her and stroked her hair, whispering softly:

"Sorry for the wait."

The evening wind blew these words long and far away, echoing in Qu Lan's ears over and over again.

Yu Mingxia saw that Yunzhi had been lacking energy all morning, so he ran to sit beside her, leaned against her and asked softly, "Are you still thinking about them?"

Yun Xiangxiang's picture was playing on the TV, but Yun Zhi's eyes didn't stay on it, he just let the sound ring in the living room.

In the fruit plate on the coffee table, the fruit has not been touched.

Yu Mingxia signed an apple with a wooden stick and handed it to her lips: "Ah—"

Yun Zhi glanced at her, snorted softly, opened his mouth obediently and bit his lips, and did not forget to ask:

"How are they doing?"

From last night to now, Yu Mingxia has gotten used to it.

"I asked every half hour, and she still hasn't answered me."

"I dare not ask Qu Lan." Yun Zhi sighed, if it didn't work out, wouldn't she poke someone's heart by asking now.

"It's okay, wait a little longer, maybe I haven't woken up yet." Yu Mingxia comforted her.

Half an hour after she finished saying this, Yu Mingxia sent another message to Yu Chuxue.

She also tried to make a phone call, but the other party turned off the phone and couldn't get through.

Yu Mingxia knew what Yun Zhi was thinking, and comforted her: "It's okay."

Yun Zhi said, and started to eat the fruit by himself.

On the TV show, Yun Xiangxiang's program is a singing and dancing segment, an absolute C position.

She has been watching this show since two hours ago.

A few days ago, Yun Xiangxiang called her and said that she was featured in a variety show recently.

"Why does it feel like their resources are not that good?"

While waiting for Yu Chuxue's news, Yun Zhi searched for Yun Xiangxiang's girl group.

"Their company in charge has limited resources." Yu Mingxia glanced at her and said.

Yun Zhi said, feeling slightly depressed: "I thought she didn't lack resources."

Yu Mingxia understood that she cared about Yun Xiangxiang, rubbed her hair, and said in a low voice, "Isn't your sister behind you?"

Yun Zhi curled his lips, and became even more downcast: "I have some contacts, but I still have a wall with the entertainment industry."

"Family has something to do with it, but after thinking about it, I definitely don't want to rely on my family."

Yu Mingxia hummed for a long time, took a grape from the fruit plate and fed it to her mouth, and replied: "It makes sense."

"Huh?" Yun Zhi bit her finger lightly, dissatisfied with her words.

Yu Mingxia chuckled and reminded her: "Did you forget something?"

Yun Zhi was puzzled for a few seconds before realizing what she wanted to say.

Yun Zhi suddenly realized: "Oh yes, my backing is you, does that mean that you are also backing Xiangxiang?"

Yu Mingxia chuckled lightly: "Did you just think of me now?"

"Well, it seems to be." Yun Zhi rolled his eyes and said intentionally.

Yu Mingxia wasn't angry either, so he said oh.

Seeing that she didn't speak any more, Yun Zhi poked her tentatively: "Are you angry?"

"Yeah, I'm angry," Yu Mingxia said softly, "How are you going to coax me?"

"Kiss you?"

It's true to say it, Yun Zhi immediately shut up, making Yu Mingxia helpless who was about to return to his relatives.

"Returning anger?" Yun Zhi asked.

Yu Mingxia nodded: "Qi."

"Then you should be angry first, I'll watch some TV." Yun Zhi curled his lips, seeing through Yu Mingxia's intentions.

Yu Mingxia: "?"

"Stop coaxing me?" Yu Mingxia approached her and whispered in her ear.

Yun Zhi held back his laughter, and sighed pretending to be stupid: "I'm too stupid to be coaxed well, so I decided to punish myself by watching TV and not being allowed to sleep until my eyes hurt."

Yu Mingxia: "?"

"Oh yes, there is also fruit, I decided to support myself." Yun Zhi picked up the fruit plate and stuffed fruit into his mouth.

The movement was fast, and the mouth was full in a short while, and the cheeks were bulging.

Yu Mingxia snatched the fruit plate from her hand, and said helplessly:

"I am not angry."

Yun Zhi blinked his eyes, as if he didn't understand, and acted on it.

"It's all my fault that I can't coax you well. You don't have to think about me. I'm fine."

After speaking, he spread his hand towards her and asked for a fruit plate.

That look seemed to say: Leave me alone, just support me to death.

Yu Mingxia couldn't help but laugh, knowing that she was acting on purpose, but still hugged her and said along with her, "What should I do if you support me to death? You are punishing me."

Yun Zhi smiled.

It's so good to lie on the couch and talk nonsense with the one you love.

At this moment, Yu Mingxia's cell phone rang.

She lowered her head and turned on her phone, and saw that it was Yu Chuxue's reply.

"Let me see, let me see." Yun Zhi leaned over.

Yu Mingxia hid the phone behind his back and said, "Coax me."

"Didn't you say you're not angry?!" Yun Zhi couldn't believe it, "You've turned bad!"

Yu Mingxia chuckled lightly: "You know, coax me."

Yun Zhi snorted softly, then kissed her as usual, not forgetting to add a confession: "I love you, I love you."

"I want to read the information, hurry up."

Yu Mingxia laughed helplessly, and handed her the phone to look at.

An unremarkable transfer of money in a red envelope shows too much information.

When Yun Zhi saw it, there was an additional message above——

Yu Chuxue: "Thank you."
