final chapter(1/2)
But what Xie Yu didn't expect was that he soon met Chu Jiao. At a banquet with charity as the main content, what made Xie Yu not very satisfied was that Meng Xingqiu was followed by Chu Jiao.
Turning blindness is never Xie Yu's style, so under Meng Xingqiu's alert sight, he still walked over with a smile on his face.
But this time he didn't say anything else that would make Chu Jiao unwilling to hear. He just smiled and talked about some work matters, and did not get too entangled for too long. He also had a sense of grasping time, and then left.
But the moment he turned around, the mask on Xie Yu's face that he had been wearing for a long time seemed to collapse in an instant. He seemed to be steady in his steps, but in fact he seemed to be running away in panic.
He was afraid that he would not be able to control his envy or jealousy for Meng Xingqiu, and would give up all his dignity and humbly beg Chu Jiao to return to his side.
Looking at Xie Yu's departure back, Meng Xingqiu frowned and asked, "What does he mean?"
"Just talk about work briefly." Chu Jiao replied lightly, lowering her head and taking a sip of the red wine in her glass.
But Meng Xingqiu would not believe that Xie Yu could let go so easily. He looked at Chu Jiao and asked, "It's not a solution to continue like this. There is no need for your relationship to be so stiff all the time. Maybe you can consider Uncle Chu's previous suggestions?"
"Suggestion?" Chu Jiao's brows frowned when she mentioned this. Obviously, for her, her father was an existence that upset her even more than Xie Yu.
She put the red wine aside, obviously no longer in the mood to drink it, and said lightly: "Are you saying that he wants us to get engaged?"
Meng Xingqiu nodded. Perhaps it was because Xie Yu's sudden appearance tonight also disturbed his mind. Sometimes impulsive words did not arise on a whim, but a true heart that had been hidden for a long time.
He looked at Chu Jiao with gentle eyes and smiles on his lips, "Enjoy me. It can block those gossips and keep Xie Yu away from you, and it is also beneficial for the company's cooperation. If you are willing to give me this opportunity, whether it is a fiancé or a future husband, I will definitely do better than Xie Yu's identities."
Although this is not a confession, it is almost the same as a confession. Moreover, the relationship between the two is only the last layer of window paper left.
When Chu Jiao heard this, she lowered her eyes and said for a while: "It sounds good, I don't seem to have a reason to refuse. If someone else came to make such a suggestion to me at this time, maybe I would really be tempted to adopt it. Others can do it, but you can't."
Hearing Chu Jiao's words, Meng Xingqiu's smile faded a little, but his eyes were still looking at her, and he also felt a little stubborn, and asked, "Why?"
Chu Jiao looked into his eyes and smiled slightly, "Because you like me."
These six words are plain and do not make Meng Xingqiu refute it, so of course he himself is not ready to refute it.
He nodded and admitted calmly, "Yes, I like you, that's not a reason for you to refuse."
"Because you like me, I don't want to use you."
"I'm willing." Meng Xingqiu replied without hesitation, but when he said the next sentence, he pursed his lips and looked a little pleading, "It's not just to deceive Xie Yu, but also to deceive me."
Chu Jiao's eyelashes trembled, and she turned her face and stopped looking at him, "Meng Xingqiu, this is not what you should say."
Meng Xingqiu in her memory has always been the best, always a child of other people. He is said to be like a pride of heaven. He should be like that, always proud and looking up to him, and should not bow his head for anything.
Meng Xingqiu's lips opened slightly. He wanted to say something and fight for him, but the moment he saw the expression on Chu Jiao's face, he hesitated.
He knew Chu Jiao so much that she didn't like to say something wrong, nor did she like to do things that went against her wishes.
Since she said she didn't want to, she really didn't want to. If he forced herself to succeed, it would be against her wishes.
There was a brief silence between the two, and Meng Xingqiu finally asked another question, "It doesn't matter if I don't agree, but there is one thing that has troubled me for a long time and I have always wanted to know."
Chu Jiao nodded, "You said."
"How bad are I than Xie Yu?"
When asked this question, Meng Xingqiu also had a little self-deprecating look on her face. What was the difference that made her follow Xie Yu for so many years and unwilling to take a step back and choose him.
This question made Chu Jiao's lips slightly raise, and she said: "Someone has asked me about this question, but I always told them that they were not moved because they were a little destined. But in the end, there is indeed a reason. Do you remember the first time we met?"
Meng Xingqiu blurted out without thinking, "In the office of the director of the teaching, Han Feiyao was falsely accused you of cheating."
Chu Jiao suddenly thought of the same question she asked Xie Yu the last time, but the other party almost forgot everything.
She nodded and said, "The director of the teaching department had something to go out because you were his favorite student, so he gave you the responsibility. At that time, you asked Han Feiyao and I to state the story separately, and personally gave us a test paper of similar difficulty, and finally returned the innocence."
This incident has been a long time, but now I think about it, Meng Xingqiu helped her at that time, so she is still grateful.
Based on Meng Xingqiu's understanding of Chu Jiao, she could not have asked her questions casually. He quickly guessed it and asked again: "Then what was the first time you met Xie Yu?"
"It's almost the same situation. It's just that Han Feiyao is bullying me." Chu Jiao felt it was a little funny when she mentioned this and continued: "It was Xie Yu who helped me to help me out at that time, but he didn't ask the reason, nor did he ask me any questions about Han Feiyao, but he just stood in front of me to protect me."
The two things seemed to be a few days apart. Although they were similar things, for Chu Jiao, who was full of romantic fantasies at that time, what she preferred was naturally favoritism and preference without asking for reasons.
Even though reality later taught her a lesson that was ridiculous, the person who stood by her and defended her became Meng Xingqiu, and Xie Yu was hurting her. But some things have happened, and the first thing that was irreplaceable.
Meng Xingqiu replied in a low voice: "I understand."
He understood, and knew that he was late, whether it was the time of appearance or favoring her.
Even if he was unwilling to give up, he could not make her reluctant. Since he didn't like it, he wouldn't be willing to continue to force her.
Meng Xingqiu felt that he didn't want to laugh very much at this time, but in order to reduce the guilt of Chu Jiao, he still tried hard to smile and said, "It doesn't matter, so let's continue to be friends in the future."
Chu Jiao's eyes were for some reason, but she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the direction of the door.
And even with such a look, Meng Xingqiu understood it. Perhaps Chu Jiao herself didn't understand why this move was.
He said lightly: "Xie Yu is indeed different from before. If you still have feelings for him, try to give him another chance."
The confession was just rejected, and then he wanted to say good things to his lover. Meng Xingqiu thought he was a little ridiculous.
Chu Jiao shook her head and did not answer Meng Xingqiu's question, but suddenly said: "There is one thing that I want to tell you, I am going abroad."
"Going abroad?" Meng Xingqiu asked with some confusion, "Why?"
"You also know that my dad and I have never had a good relationship, and I am very upset to deal with things in the company. His voice in scolding me is quite loud, at least it will be fine if I have been in charge of the company for ten years." Chu Jiao said in a half-joking tone, "I haven't made a movie for a long time. I have finished writing the previous script and it's time to shoot it. Because the subject matter is a bit sensitive in China, I still need to go abroad and leave after the New Year."
Meng Xingqiu expressed his understanding and did not say much, but said, "If you need me, you can say anything you need."
Chu Jiao nodded, "Don't worry, I'll never be polite with you."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
There was only more than a month left before the Chinese New Year, and Chu Jiao did not expect that she would meet Xie again before leaving.
It was still snowing that day. Chu Jiao was lying in the quilt and she was lazy and didn't want to get up, and the knock on the door rang out.
It just so happened that the express delivery for shopping online was coming. Chu Jiao put on a furry nightgown and walked on slippers and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, it was not the courier standing in front of her, but Xie Yu, who had not seen him for a long time.
Chu Jiao was stunned for a moment, holding the door handle with some vigilance, ready to close the door at any time.
However, Xie Yu today is different from when he met before. The cold noble character he started to play seemed to be left behind by him, and the smile on his face was not covered at all.
After Chu Jiao opened the door, he leaned over slightly the next second and directly hugged Chu Jiao in his arms.
Chu Jiao was very uncomfortable with this sudden intimate action. She instinctively wanted to push Xie Yu away, but the huge power gap between men and women made her fail again.
Chu Jiao was about to speak out and scold him to let go, but she didn't expect that Xie Yu's voice suddenly had a crying voice in the next second, "Chu Jiao, my dad...my dad has woken up..."
Chu Jiao's hand that was about to continue pushing Xie Yu away, paused for a moment, and finally landed gently on his back, and said comfortingly, "Don't cry, it's a good thing, just be fine if my uncle wakes up."
The disguise that he had been holding on for so long could finally collapse at this moment. He has been working hard to grow up, but his father's awakening has finally been able to be a child again.
As for this news, Chu Jiao was the first person he could share, so he came to her without thinking about it.
The hug lasted for a long time, and it was not until Xie Yu's mood calmed down that he realized what he had done.
He hugged Chu Jiao and cried in a daze, feeling a little embarrassed.
Sitting on the sofa in Chu Jiao's apartment, Xie Yu was holding a cup of hot water in his hand, but his expression was a little stiff.
What did he do just now? So is it him who can't control his emotions?
It's over, everything seems to be worse.
At this time, Chu Jiao just put down her phone and looked up at him.
The moment when his eyes met, Xie Yu reached out and scratched his hair. He asked cautiously, "Did you hear it just now?"
Chu Jiao was asked by this and found it funny, "You hugged me and cried. If you can't see it, it doesn't mean I can't hear it."
That's what I said.
Xie Yu's hand moved forward from the back of his head, and then covered his face, and asked in a little depressed mood: "Do you... do you think I'm more childish? I'm not like this in normal times. This is just an accident."
“Not childish.”
Chu Jiao replied, "It is normal for uncle to be happy after waking up such a big thing. This is a normal relationship for people."
Hearing Chu Jiao say this, Xie Yu felt relieved after he felt relieved. He sat up straight, coughed twice and spoke again, "Actually, I'm here to look for you today not only because of this, but also for this."
As Xie Yu said that, he handed over his cell phone, and then took this opportunity to sit next to Chu Jiao, looking at her with some expectations.
Chu Jiao took the phone and was slightly stunned when she saw the contents in the photo clearly.
The photo was taken with several certificates of charity donation. The donors were Xie Yu, and the targets he donated were mainly left-behind children in rural areas, and the amount of donations was counted as huge sums.
One of them is a different letter of thanks for the establishment of a primary school, and the location of the primary school is the village where Chu Jiao once lived with her grandparents.
Xie Yu said again: "I know you have always had the habit of doing charity. In order to be worthy of you, I can't leave it behind. I donated all the total profits of Xie's last year, even if it's the New Year gift I gave you."
Hearing this, Chu Jiao smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I like this gift very much."
Seeing that Chu Jiao was satisfied, Xie Yu felt that everything he did was worth it. As if he had thought of something, he immediately asked: "By the way, that Hope Primary School was built last month. Do you want to go and have a look?"
I have to say that this is a very tempting condition.
Not only to visit the Hope Primary School, but also to see where you once lived.
Chu Jiao nodded when she was a traitor.
And so, when she completely realized that she was already sitting in the passenger seat of Xie Yu's car, and the rear seat and the rear compartment were filled with countless boxes.
Chu Jiao glanced at the boxes and asked Xie Yu again, "What are those?"
To be continued...
