Chapter 323 Two People's Unfocused Minds
Xu Qingsong stopped talking here and played with Liu Wangxue's fingers.
"What happened next?" Seeing that he stopped talking and her desire for gossip was not satisfied for the moment, Liu Wangxue urged him and held his finger with her backhand and pressed it down.
Xu Qingsong held her hand again, drank a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Then we broke up."
Liu Wangxue pulled her hand out, stretched out a finger and gently poked his cheek: "I'm asking how you divided it."
Xu Qingsong suddenly realized that he was addicted to physical contact. It had only been half a day, and he was already a little uncomfortable with the feeling of empty palms, so he took Liu Wangxue's hand and held it again.
He went on to say, "I was also very busy at that time. The project in my group was at a critical stage, so I didn't have much time to spend with her even on weekends. And I was also very career-oriented at the time, so maybe the conflicts accumulated at that time."
After he finished his tea, he put the empty cup into the bag, held her hands with both hands, and continued, "After the garden design was completed, she got an invitation from a well-known design company in Country M through that rich man, and planned to switch to that company. At that time, Du Yunkai's game company there was doing quite well, so he asked me if I would consider going there. When she knew about it, she hoped that I would agree, so that I could go there to accompany her."
Liu Wangxue finished the last sip of tea in the cup, handed him the empty cup, and motioned him to fill it up: "But you didn't agree."
"Well, I don't want to go abroad." Xu Qingsong nodded, took it and put it away, "If it's just for traveling, it's fine, to see the world, but if it's for living and working, I still prefer to stay in China."
Liu Wangxue has never been abroad, nor has she traveled: "It is said that country Z ranks second in the world of gourmet food and no country dares to rank first. Is that true?"
She had been to those exotic restaurants, but overall, the experience was not very good.
Xu Qingsong smiled: "Personally, it is absolutely true. After all, we are native to Country Z."
Liu Wangxue then asked: "So you broke up?"
"We didn't break up at first," Xu Qingsong shook his head. "We were in a long-distance relationship for a while, but we couldn't see each other. Plus, there was a time difference, so we couldn't chat much on the phone. Gradually, we contacted less and less. And most importantly, when she encountered difficulties or was in a bad mood over there, I couldn't give her any real comfort. I could only say a few seemingly meaningless words across the ocean and the Internet."
"Isn't Du Yunkai over there?" Liu Wangxue blurted out after hearing what he said.
Xu Qingsong was stunned for a moment, then he reached out and tapped her forehead, and asked with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Wangxue covered her forehead. She accidentally staggered and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. Xiaoqing hurt me."
——In the novel, the hero asks his brother to take care of his lover, and that care turns into true love.
Xu Qingsong held her face with both hands, shook her head gently, and squeezed her mouth into a chicken shape with a little force in his palm: "You have problems with your own ideas, and you are blaming others? Huh?"
Liu Wangxue grabbed his wrist and said in a vague voice: "I'm just kidding——"
Xu Qingsong looked at her soft lips and almost lost his mind, so he let go of her hand, but couldn't help pinching her cheek again: "They are far away, one in the east and the other in the west."
"Hey, let me ask you a question." Liu Wangxue said.
"Well, you ask."
Liu Wangxue said: "Have you ever thought about why she wants you to go abroad with her? Doesn't she know that you prefer China?"
Xu Qingsong had never thought about this question. He subconsciously asked, "Why?"
He was also asking himself.
"I mean, what if," Liu Wangxue held his hand, "what if the offer you made when you graduated wasn't a coincidence?"
Xu Qingsong thought about it and said, "She got the offer a week later than me..."
Liu Wangxue felt sorry for his past: "If it's true, then she might have given up her original choice to accompany you to Hai City. As for the subsequent trip abroad, she probably hoped that you could accompany her."
Xu Qingsong didn't understand: "Why didn't she just say it?"
"It's all speculation~" Liu Wangxue imitated Xu Qingsong's previous actions, leaned towards him, held his face with both hands and rubbed it, and then squeezed it into a chicken mouth, "Oh, our Mr. Xu is so pitiful. Either because of his studies or his career, he missed two happy moments."
She didn't let go of her hand after she finished speaking, and Xu Qingsong didn't move either. He looked into her eyes and thought, there will probably be no answer to this matter anymore. What has passed should be passed completely. It is more important to cherish what is in front of you.
He said: "Maybe it was destined to be missed."
"Why?" Liu Wangxue loosened her hands a little to allow his lips to return to their normal shape, still holding his face, and moved closer to ask.
Xu Qingsong said softly: "Only when I miss you can I meet you."
After he said this, under the blue sky and on the rippling lake, lights suddenly lit up on the wooden boardwalk and the long bridge.
There are also lanterns hanging under the eaves of the pavilion.
Along with the light, Liu Wangxue's heart also brightened.
She felt as if her heart had been struck by an arrow, the tip of which was in the shape of a heart.
She thought, he is so good at saying sweet words, how could he be so good at it! Her gaze slid from Xu Qingsong's eyes to his tall nose, and then to his lips, and she was also a little distracted.
Xu Qingsong felt as if he was burned by her gaze. When he was about to reach out his hand, he caught a glimpse of two pairs of tourists walking towards him on the wooden plank road.
So he turned his hands abruptly and took away the pair that were holding his cheeks: "Someone is coming."
Liu Wangxue turned around and immediately felt resentful.
Xu Qingsong looked at her expression and couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand to smooth her slightly wrinkled brows: "Are you hungry? It's getting late, shall we go have dinner?"
"Okay." Liu Wangxue's tone still contained a little regret, but she jumped up in excitement the next second, "Let's go take a cruise after dinner. It is said that the night view here is not to be missed."
"Okay." Xu Qingsong raised his hand and touched her hair.
Then the two of them packed up their things, put away the trash, and naturally walked out of the pavilion holding hands.
The Shuixiang Cruise Terminal is very close to the Nanhu Qiuyue Garden, and the two of us just passed by it when we were walking back. We were just chatting, drinking tea and eating snacks, and we were not hungry, so we changed our plans temporarily and took a boat tour first.
Xu Qingsong stepped onto the bow of the boat first. The boat swayed a few times on the water. He turned around and stretched out his hand to Liu Wangxue: "Come down slowly, it's a little shaky."
Liu Wangxue held his hand and stood up. It was not the first time for her to ride on this kind of boat, but every time she did so she felt uneasy, afraid that she would capsize the boat and fall off.
As soon as she stood up, she hugged Xu Qingsong's arm.
Xu Qingsong asked her jokingly: "Look at your posture. If you fall down, won't you drag me down with you?"
Liu Wangxue pinched his arm and said, "What do you mean? Are you going to let me fall alone?"
"How is that possible?" Xu Qingsong held her waist and led her under the awning. "Even if I fall, I will never let you fall."
