Chapter 18 Don't fool yourself

"I ate the meat buns your brother sent me two days ago. They tasted great. I have two movie tickets here. I heard that the group gave you a day off these few days. Take them and go to the movies with your friends."

The performance was imminent, but the captain was still worried that Xiao Qingru might be upset, so he gave her a day off.

Xiao Qingru has no mood, but who doesn’t like holidays?

During this time, she can think carefully about her solo dance for the Spring Festival Gala.

The leader gave her a chance, and she did not disappoint.

She had mentioned this matter at the dinner table the day before, and Xu Muzhou must have heard it from his own brother.

I thought to myself, this guy is still a chatterbox!

On the other side, Xiao Huaishu, who had just finished spiral staircase training, sneezed. Who was scolding him behind his back?

Seeing that Xiao Qingru didn't take it, Xu Muzhou handed the movie ticket forward and said, "I'm a big man, I don't like to watch this kind of thing. If you don't have time to watch it, you can give it to someone else."

The pile of food at home had not been eaten yet, so how could Xiao Qingru have the nerve to accept more of his things?

"Why don't you ask your comrades, maybe someone would like to go and see it?"

"I asked them, and they don't like to watch it."

Being stared at by his deep eyes, Xiao Qingru felt inexplicably nervous and didn't know why she accepted the movie ticket.

After calming down, he said, "Comrade Xu, thank you for the movie ticket. When are you free? I'll treat you to a meal in the cafeteria."

Xu Muzhou suppressed his inner ecstasy and wanted to say that he was free today.

But if she took the opportunity today, what would she do when he missed her in the future?

No, don't worry.

Don't be too greedy, Xu Muzhou warned himself.

"I have something else to do today. If you really feel bad for me, I will obey your order."

Xiao Qingru: “…”

Why does this sound weird?

"When are you free? You decide the time. It's quite convenient here. I'm basically free after work."

Xu Muzhou thought for a moment, "Let's eat in the cafeteria together after your vacation. I'll still come to Wentuan to pick you up then?"

"That's fine."

If we go to eat at home, Xu Muzhou will have to spend money, so eating in the cafeteria is the best choice.

Xiao Qingru put the movie tickets into the military green canvas bag she carried with her, "Comrade Xu, I'm going home first."

Xu Muzhou raised his hand and said, "Goodbye, be safe."

Xiao Qingru smiled at him politely, "You should go back soon too."

"Um."

Xiao Qingru didn't look back, so she didn't know Xu Muzhou had been standing there, watching her leave.

There is joy, admiration and obsession in his eyes.

"Xu Muzhou, don't set your sights on Qingru!"

The tall man turned away calmly, the tenderness in his eyes instantly disappearing.

Xu Muzhou was not surprised that Jiang Xiao jumped out at this time. He looked at him with a smile, "Are you not acting like a turtle?"

Jiang Yu choked when he thought of his cowardly behavior just now.

"Qingru is a good girl, please don't hurt her."

As if he had heard a funny joke, Xu Muzhou sneered, "She is a good girl, you don't need to tell me, and besides, weren't you the one who hurt her from the beginning to the end?"

As if a sore spot had been touched, Jiang Xiao said in a sharp voice: "I didn't do anything to hurt her. Qingru just listened to those rumors and misunderstood me."

Xu Muzhou's eyes changed, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, "It seems that you don't think you did anything wrong, and you don't think abandoning Qingru halfway will hurt her. Someone like you doesn't even have the qualifications to be an opponent."

Opponent?

Xu Muzhou really has feelings for Qingru!

The corners of Jiang 꼇's eyes turned red, as if someone had taken away something they loved.

The knuckles made a crisp cracking sound due to excessive use.

"You have no right to interfere in what happens between Qingru and me. Xu Muzhou, I warn you, stay away from Qingru."

"It's none of your business what happens between him and me." A woman's soft but firm voice came from behind.

Xu Muzhou turned around and asked, "Why are you back? Is there something wrong?"

"Something was left in the rehearsal room."

Xiao Qingru and Xu Muzhou stood side by side, looking at Jiang Xiao with a hint of jealousy in their eyes, "I told you, don't come to see me again."

Jiang Xiao was at a loss as to what to do and no longer had the momentum he had when he confronted Xu Muzhou.

Like a child who had done something wrong, he said weakly, "I didn't mean to do that."

The words didn't make sense, and Xiao Qingru didn't even bother to save face for him. "I really regret having talked to you about dating before. If I could choose, I wish I had never met you."

She denied the past.

I even wish they had never existed.

Language is like words, and every word hurts Jiang Yu precisely.

It hurts. It really hurts.

Mustering up the courage to look directly into Xiao Qingru's eyes, "Are we really helpless?"

"Jiang Xiao, stop deceiving yourself. It's over between us a long time ago."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, since you don't want to see me, I won't show up again in the future."

I turned and left with heavy steps, my eyes becoming redder and redder, and I had to use all my strength to suppress the urge to look back.

In Qingru's eyes, he was already hateful enough, and there was no need to waste all the good things in the past.

Jiang Xiao clearly realized that Xiao Qingru would never look back.

There is no future between them.
