Perfect Life

For the second time, Li Qian came to the house of the opposite teacher Qi Jie.

A few days later, the room at this time was spotlessly clean, and everything was kept in good order.

This time, Li Qian was treated with an extra cup of coffee.

It's just that the two are facing each other, and the embarrassment still lingers.

"It's very clean." Li Qian boasted.

Qi Jie smiled, "Just now...Thank you."

"Hi!" Li Qian shook his head, "It didn't help, just stood by to fill up the number of people."

Qi Jie looked up at him and said, "I remember when I taught you, your temperament was much more lively than now, especially your mouth, I seem to be able to say in my mind, why are you so honest now? ?"

"Uh..." Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. When he thought about it, he felt that it really happened. When he first came to this world, he seemed to be very eloquent. Of course, in front of Wang Jinglu, in the old age In front of my parents, I still subconsciously want to be slick, but when facing other people, this mouth is getting more and more honest.

After thinking about it, he said, "Maybe it's because I think... that I don't like girls because of my slick tongue?" He laughed and explained, "Just kidding, you are my teacher!"

Qi Jie smiled, took a sip of coffee from the cup≯☆, it was too hot, she raised her head and glanced at Li Qian, there was something she wanted to say, but she didn't want to. In the end, she just smiled and said, "Boys like you, regardless of whether they are honest or glib, are all liked by girls. They are handsome. They have no human rights!"

Li Qian looked up at her in surprise. She shrugged, smiled, and lowered her head.

In the past two months, something seems to have happened to Teacher Qi Jie.

This change does not mean that she has cut off her original ponytail and replaced it with Sassoon's straight hair that looks more energetic and mature, nor does it mean that she doesn't seem to pay much attention to the point when she was a teacher. It's a slap in the face, but... the spirit of her whole person, the kind of momentum and taste of her whole person. There seems to be a small change.

Appears...more capable?

In short, more outspoken, more direct, of course, the speech is indeed a lot sharper.

After a while, she took the initiative and asked, "You... still writing songs?"

Li Qian nodded with a smile, "I'm writing, I'm going to rely on this to eat in the future!"

Qi Jie nodded and said, "The songs you gave to Liao Liao. It's really popular now, um. They're all very good. I've listened to many of the songs you wrote. Haha, I eavesdropped on them without you knowing. , it sounds good, you are very talented!"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

Then, he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but after a moment of hesitation, he turned to point to the room and said, "I'm still used to being here..."

Qi Jie looked around at her house, smiled, and said, "It's good to live alone. It turned out that I lived with my parents, and I didn't need to cook or even clean up. Everything is ready-made, and now I've moved out... Except for being a little tired, everything else is better, more free, more free and easy, and more... It's good anyway, you moved out for this, right?"

Li Qian smiled and wanted to explain a few words, but finally nodded, "Almost, young people, they all want to be at ease."

Qi Jie smiled and nodded.

Then, she took a shallow sip of coffee, lowered her head for a moment, and said, "So..."

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then put down the coffee cup and stood up, smiling apologetically, "Oh, right... I'm sorry to bother you for so long, then I'll go back first and talk again when I have time."

Qi Jie also put down the coffee cup and stood up, smiled, and said, "Okay, then... see you later."

"See you."

Li Qian got up and walked out.

However, he was only a few steps out, when Qi Jie behind him suddenly said, "I know, you must want to ask something, right?"

Li Qian turned around and looked at her.

She smiled, turned around and sat down again, pointed to the sofa, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Okay, if you want to ask, just ask it? I know, Liao Liao has always been quite curious... Do you want to ask me why I am angry?"

Li Qian thought for a while, then went back to sit down and said, "I'm a little curious. But if it's inconvenient for you to say, actually..."

"There's nothing inconvenient." Qi Jie said, "I'm just... just..."

She laughed at herself again and said, "Do you remember a song you wrote yourself?" She waved her arm subconsciously, and shouted, "Because of us, we are born free!"

Of course, not a word is in tune.

Li Qian nodded, "That song is called "Little Bird". Have you heard it before?"

Qi Jie nodded and said with a smile, "You know what? In fact, since I knew you were the one who sang on the rooftop, I always thought you were not you. I always thought... um, I don't know how to describe it, just It's like... it's like there's someone else living in your head, someone... an old guy who's wise and scary! In short, your words, deeds, actions, your songs, your people , it gave me a feeling of being too mature! Just like that song, I clearly remember how you yelled out the lyrics that day, I remember when I..."

She smiled, frowned, and said, "I remember that after hearing this sentence, I cried so hard!"

Li Qian always listened quietly, interrupted at the right time, and asked, "So, then what?"

Qi Jie said: "Then... Then I kept thinking, kept thinking, birth freedom? What is birth freedom? How can we be free? Hesitating, I couldn't bear to let go of something. Then, Liao Liao came, and then, I introduced you to each other, and I felt in a trance, ah, it turns out that dealing with you is such a fun thing, you see, no matter what It's you, or Liao Liao, you are the kind of people who can hold a guitar and play a piece of music at will. I think. Your life must be full of joy! You are both so free! You can write songs , Liao Liao can release records, you are all doing what you love to do, and then you can get a proper income and continue to do what you love... At that time, I felt that I was lucky to be friends with you. …”

Hearing this, Li Qian suddenly nodded. Seems to understand something.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Jie nodded with a smile, "That's right, so...hehe, I was really sad at the time, there is a kind of...the feeling of being separated by your geniuses!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Although it's a bit late, but... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"I know, I know, I understand..." She hurriedly interrupted with a smile. "Actually, I understood at the time, and Liao Liao told me later. This is the default rule in your industry, and I understand even more, I just can't control myself, I just can't control myself, I will be sad and disappointed... Haha! But ,it's good now……"

She smiled, with an indescribable brilliance on her face, and then, she looked around her room with indescribable pride, "I quit my job, and I live according to the prescribed route that my parents have designed for me. After more than 20 years, now, I am free! Then, I sold my little car. It has only been driven for more than a year, and it is still 90% new. The little money I saved for my private house was enough for the original price of the car, and then I refunded the dowry, so my marriage was free. Hehe, although I was a little poorer, but... I feel very good! "

Li Qian looked at her and nodded solemnly, "Congratulations!"

Qi Jie smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

After hesitating for a while, Li Qian asked again: "So, you are now..."

"Yes, selling cosmetics." She smiled and said, "The internship period is three months, three hundred yuan a month, with a commission, and no matter what education you have, as long as you can speak well and sell things, it's best Like me, the skin is okay, and I can do a live advertisement or something, so... I only used it for a month and a half, and I ended the internship period ahead of schedule. Now the basic salary is 800 yuan a month, plus the commission, the income is not bad Yes, then, before moving, I was just proposed to be the team leader of our counter, hehe... I'm going to do it for a few more months, and then I'll find a way to represent my own brand..."

Li Qian held the coffee cup in his hand and took a sip from time to time. Hearing her gushing about her current achievements, and seeing the radiance of excitement naturally released on her face, she couldn't help but feel happy for her.

Don't say that the profession of teaching is more decent, don't say that teachers' income is more stable, and their future life is more secure. Of course, some people are willing to live that kind of life, but obviously Qi Jie doesn't like it, and now , she got rid of the stability and decency of the past and lived the life she liked... Is there anything better in the world than this?

"Congratulations!" Li Qian sent heartfelt congratulations.

Qi Jie smiled and put down the coffee cup. She even joked: "So, if you want to give Wang Jinglu any gift in the future, please try to consider the cosmetics I represent! Don't worry, I will give you a 30% discount only for VIPs!"

Li Qian nodded with a smile, "No problem!"

Frankly speaking, after clearing up the little misunderstanding between them, Li Qian felt that Qi Jie was a very cute girl.

Just like the girls he met in his last life, pure, sincere, ambitious, and a bit idealistic, but dared to stride towards the goal... To tell the truth, after living in the late thirties, facing such a full A young girl with vigor, Li Qian could not help but feel a little envious and a little ashamed.

After coming to this time and space, he said that he wanted to relive the years of youth, but in fact Li Qian knew very well in his heart, the youth of the bullshit... A person in his thirties, no matter how you imitate, no matter how you try to find it How can it be possible to return to that youthful feeling?

As Qi Jie just said about the illusion: although he is only seventeen years old, his mentality is already old enough to become a middle-aged person.

So he bowed his head in silence, and his mood suddenly dropped.

At this time, Qi Jie seemed to be aware of Li Qian's abnormality. She stopped talking, and when Li Qian looked over, she asked with a smile, "So...have another cup of coffee?"

"Oh, no!" Li Qian put down the cup and explained with a smile, "I don't dare to drink too much, I'm afraid that if I drink too much coffee, I will be too excited!"

Qi Jie nodded and hesitated. Said: "So...I'm not your teacher now. But I still want to be your friend...this. Can you?"

Li Qian smiled, then nodded seriously, "Of course!"

After a pause, he said mockingly, "As long as you don't think I'm still a little kid, or...don't dislike the existence of another old man in my mind..."

Qi Jie laughed.

"Right! That's how you talk!"

Li Qian smiled.

Then, Qi Jie stopped suddenly, and after a while, she raised her head. Looking at Li Qian with a look of hope, "Then...can you sing that song for me again..."Little Bird"?"

Li Qian nodded, "Of course! Now?"

Qi Jie said, "Now!"

Li Qian smiled, stood up and said, "Wait for me, I'll get the guitar!"

After he finished speaking, he opened the door and went home to get the guitar, and came back quickly, but just sitting on the sofa, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling with his finger, and said, "Do you want to go upstairs?"

Qi Jie's eyes lit up. "Okay! Then go upstairs!"

So, the two went out. Climb directly to the top of the building - although one is a teaching building and the other is a residential building, but in a trance, the feeling of hiding in the corridor and listening to Li Qian's singing suddenly came back.

So Li Qian strummed the strings lightly, and quickly became violent, and began to sing: "The ideal is always flying around, illusory; the reality is still real and cannot be hidden."

All of a sudden, Qi Jie felt that her heart was suddenly pulled by someone. The familiar chords and the familiar roars reminded her of the day, and her nose became sore...

Li Qian sang very emotionally... This "Little Bird" was originally one of his personal favorites.

Singing and singing, he closed his eyes unconsciously, and his body swayed to the rhythm.

Qi Jie stared at him blankly, although she was already trying to control, trying to control...but...

…………

After a rough strumming, the guitar squeaks.

After playing the last note, Li Qian slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

Qi Jie looked up at him, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she was haggard and absent-minded.

Then, she raised her hands, buried her whole face in her palms, and cried.

Adding the two generations together, Li Qian has never heard someone cry so wronged and heartbroken. It seems that the grievances that have been accumulated for decades or even a lifetime have been vented at this time.

He didn't say anything, and wasn't even going to go over and persuade her.

With a sigh, he moved the guitar to his side, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, looked at Qi Jie, hesitated for a moment, and finally took out a cigarette, lit it with a snap, and took a deep breath. .

For Qi Jie, this should be a good catharsis, but for himself, why not?

He is now in the music industry, and he has begun to feel a little bit of success, at least he is on the road to success, and if nothing else, the road ahead should be smooth.

But every now and then, he would also feel lonely, lonely.

…………

Smoke spewed from his mouth and nose, and was quickly blown away by the cool September wind.

He took another deep breath and spat out...

For example, as a musician and a singer, he understands that smoking is not good for his voice, and even smoking is not good at all. In fact, when he first crossed over, his original body was not addicted to smoking. But is smoking addiction really a physical problem?

Whenever he is happy, whenever he is lost, whenever he is lonely, whenever he is lonely... He still always wants to get out a cigarette.

…………

Qi Jie cried and whimpered, covering her face with her hands, sobbing, her body shaking violently, but she was not heartbroken.

She seems to be just venting those grievances, those hesitations... not angry.

Li Qian sniffed, took another deep breath, and then spit it out...

Then, he squatted down, extinguished the cigarette he had only smoked a few puffs on the ground, and put most of the remaining cigarettes back into the cigarette case.

Qi Jie had already cried so much that she forgot herself, as if it would never end.

Li Qian sat there, looking at her indifferently, as if looking at a little girl who had lost a rag doll.

…………

I don't know how long it took, it could be a few minutes, it could be dozens of minutes, Qi Jie's cry finally gradually became smaller and weaker, and finally stopped, only a choking sound from time to time...

After a while, she finally stopped completely, then raised her head and looked at Li Qian.

Li Qian was looking at her, smiled and said, "Are you ready to cry?"

Qi Jie reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her face, and her chin. She smiled and said, "You smoked just now, don't think I didn't see it!" Her throat was slightly hoarse.

Li Qian smiled, "I'm greedy, so I only take two bites every now and then, and I don't dare to take more. I want to protect my throat."

While speaking, he took out a pack of tissues in his trouser pocket and handed it over.

Qi Jie took it with a smile, teasing him, "Do you often make Wang Jinglu cry, so prepared?" She took out a tissue to wipe her tears. Wiping and wiping, but said helplessly: "I know I will cry, I know I will cry when I hear this song, but... I didn't expect that I would cry like this."

Li Qian smiled and looked calm from beginning to end, "It's not a bad thing for a woman to cry. Women who can cry are beautiful."

Qi Jie laughed again when she heard the words, "Why do you feel that you are so different from the one you were an hour ago? You are like an old **** now? You are slick and old-fashioned!"

Li Qian still smiled and did not answer.

After using four tissues, she finally wiped almost all the tears on her face. After throwing the remaining half-pack of tissues to Li Qian, she stood up and said, "I cried a lot, it was really cool. !"

Li Qian smiled again, but did not speak.

Qi Jie looked at him and asked, "Hey, don't tell me you really have an old man in your head? How old are you, how could you possibly write such a song?"

Li Qian pointed to himself and said with a smile, "I'm a genius!"

Qi Jie gave him a "cut" and rolled his eyes at him, as if mocking Li Qian's stinky beauty.

After a pause~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She took a deep breath, looked at the bright and somewhat violent sunlight not far away, and said, "Thank you for your song! I'm already crying, let's go down!"

Li Qian smiled and stood up and followed her downstairs.

Then the two didn't say a word, went to the third floor, said goodbye to each other, and went back to their respective homes.

However, after returning to his home, Li Qian stood on the balcony, looking at the building opposite, the flower bed downstairs, and the children playing beside the flower bed, and sighed unconsciously.

After a while, he took out his phone, typed a few words, and pressed send.

Then, he took out the cigarette case again, knocked out the half of the cigarette he smoked just now, wanted to light it, hesitated for a moment, sighed, and put it back.

"I missed you," he said.
