i'm not a bad man

Chapter 221 I Don't Eat Coriander

Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi are indeed best friends who have been together for more than ten years, so their solutions when conflicts arise are so interesting and childlike.I remember that when I was in elementary school, a classmate once tried to wear small shoes for me in front of the teacher. I was so angry that of course I told him the scandal. In the end, we both got a scolding from the teacher. Both sides suffered losses, and I learned a lesson from it. After that, I never did such stupid things again, but now, Qiao Jiao and Lu Xi are repeating the same stupidity that I did in elementary school.

I couldn't help but smile, and then with great curiosity, I asked Qiao Jiao, who looked a little unhappy on the other end of the phone: "Before you call Lu Xi's father, can you tell me first, What leverage did she have that fell into your hands?"

Qiao Jiao actually fell silent, and it took a long time before she spoke to me: "She really doesn't have any leverage over me."

"Well, a woman with a successful career and no scandals, how can she have any leverage in your hands?...Besides, even if she really has something in your hands, if you tell her father, her father is nothing more than Just scold her a few words, but she is financially and professionally independent, and her life will not be affected at all... You are different. As soon as your dad blocks your finances, you will become like me. People are living in precarious situations, with no fixed place to live, and are precarious..."

My words really made Qiao Jiao feel depressed. She said to me in a rare low tone: "So, all I am doing now is to break through my dad's blockade... I I don’t feel like I’ve done anything wrong... She can accept endorsements here in Luxi, so why can’t I open a bakery here?”

"That's what I say, but have you ever thought that you will have a tempering process here. This process must be very painful, but for you, there is no need to bear this kind of pain. Lu Xi may just not want to She makes you suffer this unnecessary pain, so she objects to you coming here; she is different from you, she is in endorsements, and with just one advertising idea and a few trips abroad, she can easily get at least eight figures from here. Remuneration, compared to your tempering, she is here to pick the fruits, these are two different properties."

"I think studying abroad is the biggest pain. I have to learn other people's languages, adapt to other people's eating habits and culture, and start everything from scratch. It's like going to elementary school or junior high school all over again. I can't stand this. The process... Han Chao, don't stand with Lu Xi. Although we have known each other for so many years, she has never understood me, so in her consciousness, she always thinks that I should be as good as her... But this How many Luxi are there in the world? Most people are not outstanding, and compared to those who are not outstanding, my family is already rich enough. Why can't I live according to my own ideas and have to live in the world? Where is the template set by others for me?... I have never been so suffocated as I am now. You can say that they are doing it for my own good, but in my opinion, this is a kind of abandonment, especially my dad... always Tell me, if you meet a boyfriend who you like and like in a foreign country, don't come back in the future... We have no family relationship, right? Just leave your only daughter abroad, and I don't know how many years it will take to see her again, or... In his mind, I have always been a burden?"

It is really difficult for outsiders to comment on this kind of housework, but I can understand Qiao Jiao to a certain extent. At the beginning, I felt rebellious against my parents because I felt that they did not treat me as a son, but only as a son. They were the tools to make a comeback, and the feeling of loss and despair is something I will never forget.

After a short silence, I finally said to Qiao Jiao: "Call Lu Xi and have a good chat. If you tell her what's on your mind, maybe she will understand you..."

"What about you, can you understand me?"

"I can."

Qiao Jiao responded and hung up the phone. It could be seen that her mood was really bad. I don't know if she would accept my suggestion and call Lu Xi, but my keenness But she told me that the relationship between her and Lu Xi may really have a rift because of this incident, because once people become serious, they especially can't stand that they are the closest people around them, but they can't understand themselves!
At the beginning, it was with this feeling that I broke up with my family.

……

Because I didn't stay up late, I got up early the next day. After a brief shower, I drove Chang Yuli's car to the hotel where I was staying in Luxi. We made an appointment to eat Xiaocheng's tofu ball soup together this morning.

After waiting at the door of the hotel for about ten minutes, Lu Xi walked out of the hotel as promised. She changed into a black down jacket and stood under the ice and snow that had not completely melted. She looked fairer and brighter.

I opened the car window and smiled at her, and she walked over to me.

……

Due to her celebrity status, we did not eat in the restaurant. I packed two portions of tofu soup in a thermos box, and then took her to "Shuanglong Lake" again.

"Danangou Scenic Area" will be difficult to revive for a while. Even though "Shuanglong Lake" has an ingenious beauty, on this morning when the sun shines on the snow, Lu Xi and I are the only two people on the entire lakeside. This is already our second When I came here for the first time, in my mind, this place has become a holy place for dating; Lu Xi seemed to like it very much, so when I proposed it, she readily accepted it.

We sat down side by side on the bench with weathered paint. I handed her one of the tofu ball soups. A gust of cold wind blew over and intertwined with the heat of the soup. I just felt... There is a very special temperature.At this moment, I no longer want to think about those troublesome things. I just want to surrender to my genetic desire and enjoy the delicious food in front of me with Lu Xi in the midst of hunger and cold.

"Fool Han..." "Huh?"

I responded, then turned to look at the deer stream beside me.

"Calling you a fool, you promised to be so diligent?"

"It's rare to be confused. Just scream if you like."

"I don't eat cilantro."

After saying that, Lu Xi looked at his thermal box.

"Give it to me, I love coriander the most."

"Eccentricity."

Lu Xi said this, and already put the coriander in her thermos into mine. I looked at her, a little lost.

"I haven't moved my chopsticks yet."

I came back to my senses and said with a smile: "Even if you use the chopsticks, I will not dislike you..." After a pause, I said with some emotion: "Suddenly, I feel that we have been friends for a long time. , no shorter than the time we have known Qiao Jiao."

Lu Xi and I looked at each other, and after a brief silence, she replied: "Although Jiaojiao and I have known each other for a long time, we spend most of our time eating together, watching movies, and getting along in an ordinary way... But it seems that we have gone through a lot of things, each of which is a turning point in life...especially between my brother and Luan Yu..."

At this point, Lu Xi stopped, and I also noticed her choice of words. She had been calling Luan Yu sister-in-law before, but now, she called Luan Yu's name. This was a change in mentality, and It gave me a very clear signal that the relationship between Luan Yu and Lu Ming is probably over.

"Han Chao, can you tell me about the past between you and Luan Yu?"

I felt inexplicably repulsed, and finally turned my gaze away from Lu Xi, and then whispered: "You also said that was the past, so there is no need to say anything."

"I'm curious why she would leave you after such an unforgettable experience."

"You are not a very curious person."

"If you really don't want to talk, I will talk to Luan Yu... By the way, she is on her way to the small town now. She said she wants to meet me no matter what."

I was so surprised that I didn’t know what was happening. Zuo Xiaowei and I obviously came to the small town to avoid the human relations in Qingdao, but in the end, Zuo Xiaowei left, and I thought I would be left alone. , but people from as far away as Qingdao came to the small town one by one for various reasons, and they seemed to have to come...

Are they following in my footsteps, or do they have other agendas?
