"Get on!" Bai Qiyu gave the final word with a sharp hammer, and the two big men got on a bamboo raft.
Although they were not fat, their heights and weights were not low. When they got on the bamboo raft, they could clearly feel the water level sinking a lot, and even the soles of their shoes almost touched the water. They
felt a little scared as they were about to fall.
The boatman adjusted his position and stood on the side of the lighter Fu Heng. He held up the bamboo pole and said, "Guests, sit down, and start the boat."
The bamboo raft was completely in the water, and the river surface was violently rippled, and then gradually became calm.
As the two had expected, the bamboo raft was as smooth as the ground. Fu Heng even noticed that the pedestrians on the shore were walking faster than them.
They thought this was a normal speed, but then they heard the boatman behind them say bluntly: "Sir, the boat is a bit heavy, so it takes more effort to hold the pole than others."
Fu Heng: "..."
Bai Qiyu: "..."
If it weren't for their image, the two of them really wanted to cover their faces.
It was too embarrassing and awkward.
At this time, they should find something to talk about, although Fu Heng didn't think there was anything good to talk about with his rival in love.
"About Qingqing..."
"Qingqing..."
The two spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time. In the end, Bai Qiyu spoke again: "After Qingqing became smaller, you must feel very surprised."
He didn't know why he wanted to talk about this.
"Yeah." Fu Heng did not deny it. "She and I are different from what I knew before."
"How is she different?"
"Qingqing used to be very cold and seldom smiled. When she smiled occasionally, I felt that she didn't smile from the bottom of her heart. She was like a mask floating on the surface. She seemed very close, but in fact, there was a very long distance between us. The two children probably have the same feeling about her as I do."
"The image of a noble and cold lady from a wealthy family, right?"
Bai Qiyu's summary was perfect. Fu Heng didn't say anything, which was considered as tacit agreement.
In fact, there are many such people in their circle, but most of them are wives who are out of touch with their husbands, have given up on family and marriage, and only want to keep their position as the main wife.
They act as wives of something, but in fact it is more like a job.
Sitting in this position, of course, they only need to show the professional qualities that match the position. Other luxuries such as love are not what they can have.
Of course, there are also some people who will privately seek lovers for comfort. Anyway,
the husband has a mistress and a third mistress
to support him. It's nothing to go out and have fun. Most couples tacitly agree to play with each other, and the days go on in a muddle.
But Fu Heng always thought that he and Qingqing were different.
They have been together since their first love. Even if there are some business factors in the marriage, in the end, if Fu Heng really doesn't like Gu Qingqing, no one can influence his thoughts.
Not to mention that he and his wife can have two children in succession after marriage.
"I don't know why Qingqing became the way she is when she grows up."
Maybe time really changes a person, and he just met her after Qingqing changed.
"You're wrong." Bai Qiyu said coldly: "Qingqing has never changed."
"In my memory, she is a sunny girl. She is very loyal. When her friends come to her for help, she will give her the greatest support without saying a word. She also has a strong sense of justice and has helped many people in need. At the same time, she is also kind and caring. She likes furry little animals, but she likes majestic dinosaurs more. But many times Qingqing is also an awkward child."
Speaking of this, Bai Qiyu couldn't help but chuckle, as if recalling something very beautiful.
"Because of her family, she lacks love, so she is always cautious in trying to please the people she cares about because she is afraid of losing them. But she doesn't know how to please people, and is always careless and easily makes things worse. But she is also very proud, so when she is misunderstood, she will just stick her neck out and never give in, or explain herself even if you kill her."
"She looks as strong as a hedgehog, but actually has a very soft and extremely sensitive heart."
Turning her head, she looked directly at Fu Heng: "A person like Qingqing, once someone can see through her appearance and give her even a little tenderness, she will rush into the flames that can kill her like a moth to a flame."
Fu Heng frowned and said nothing.
He suddenly thought of his wife in his memory. It seemed that if he removed the rigid mask that had become increasingly cold over the years, she had actually been alive in front of him a long, long time ago.
She was afraid of the cold when she slept, and always liked to curl up her arms and legs and sleep in a ball.
Fu Heng saw from somewhere that this was an extremely insecure sleeping position.
But after they got married, her defensive sleeping position changed to curling up in his arms to sleep, because his body temperature was high, and he was like a heater for her.
Qingqing also had severe uterine cold and anemia. Every time she had her period,
she would toss and turn in pain, and a few times she even fainted.
Whenever this happened, her temper would become very violent, and she would get angry at everyone she saw, and sometimes she would even curse at the air.
But she was also easy to coax, because Qingqing liked to eat sweets very much. When she was angry, buying her a cup of milk tea with sugar would definitely coax her. If that didn't work, then give her another cup.
But drinking too much milk tea was bad for the body, so Fu Heng didn't like Qingqing to drink it very much.
It seemed that she rarely drank milk tea afterwards, at least in the past few years, Fu Heng hadn't seen her touch it again, and she even ate less sweets.
Because the men in the family didn't like sweet things very much.
Qingqing said it was too troublesome to ask the kitchen to make food just for her, so she simply didn't eat it.
What else?
Oh, Qingqing has a petite frame and looks very thin, but in fact she has a little flesh on her body. When she was an adult, she was 1.66 meters tall and weighed over 100 pounds, but later it seemed to have dropped to around 90 pounds, or even less than 90 pounds?
When did these changes begin?
Fu Heng actually couldn't remember. The two of them had been together for too long, and he didn't notice the subtle changes at all.
Because he worked every day, and it was good to go home for half a month in a month.
In half a month, apart from some exceptions, he usually went out early and came back late. If he came back too late at night, Qingqing would have already fallen asleep. If he went to work early in the morning, Qingqing would not wake up yet. So it made little difference whether he came back or not, because they would not see each other.
In the past, Qingqing would stay up late waiting for him, but later, when she could not wait for him many times, she simply went to bed.
Fu Heng did not say anything about this. After all, his schedule was not in sync with his wife's, so he could not blame anyone.
But now when he recalled it, it seemed that he should be blamed.
"It was me who turned Qingqing into what she is now."
He lowered his head and looked at his palm with clear lines. In a trance, he seemed to see a pool of blood.
It turned out that it was him who strangled the lively and lovely Qingqing.
"I actually regret it." Bai Qiyu didn't care about Fu Heng's regret: "If I hadn't left her back then, maybe the ending would be different now."
"Unfortunately, there is no if, Qingqing is now my wife."
Upon hearing Bai Qiyu's words that could be regarded as a direct provocation, Fu Heng instinctively raised his guard and fought back.
"I know." With a bitter smile, Bai Qiyu stared at the reflection in the water unconsciously, feeling like he was assisting his rival in love.
"I told you a long time ago that I know Qingqing better than you do. Because of that weird couple of parents, Qingqing actually has a fear of marriage that others can't understand, but she chose to marry you without hesitation..."
Bai Qiyu couldn't say the rest of the words, but Fu Heng had already understood.
Because Gu Qingqing loved him, she resolutely entered into a marriage that was like hell in her eyes.
She thought Fu Heng was different from her parents, and he was the one who could make her happy, but in the end, he turned out to be another version of her parents.
No, they were different.
At least Gu's parents were truly in love with each other, even if they were very bad to their children, but this love was beyond doubt, and Gu Qingqing could not feel any love from Fu Heng.
She was trying very hard to support her family, but in the end she found in despair that her home was in ruins, and no one in the family really regarded her as a wife, mother, or even a sister.
People who have been giving all the time are tired and disappointed, so they naturally want to leave.
If she gave up everything and was left alone, would she be able to live more easily?
Anyway, the sons are already adults, the husband has a job, the brother has a cold relationship with her, and the adopted daughter has gone abroad to study. No one needs to care for Qingqing, and her existence in this family is no longer meaningful.
"Chirp..." The bird's chirping is no longer as clear as before, but a little depressed. The cute bird landed on the handrail of Qingqing's bamboo raft, looking wilted.
"Are you sad?"
Qingqing gently tapped the bird's head with her little hand. The child's soft fingertips fell on the fluffy feathers, stroking a soft touch.
"Chirp..." The bird stretched its head and rubbed Qingqing's fingertips, as if it urgently wanted her comfort.
Qingqing no longer cared about what the little bird was looking at. She stretched out her hands, picked her up, and held her in her arms. Feeling that it was not enough, she opened her coat and put the little bird in to keep it warm.
The teacher said that birds are afraid of the cold in winter. The little bird is also so sad because it feels very cold, right?
The boatman was concentrating on rowing the boat. Fu Sijin had just used his mobile phone to reply to someone's message and did not pay attention to Qingqing's movements.
When he turned around and saw Qingqing with her coat open and making a gesture as if she was holding something in her arms, he could not help but wonder, "Qingqing, is there something in your clothes?"
"It's a little bird!"
Qingqing happily lifted her coat to show Fu Sijin.
"What little bird?" Fu Sijin couldn't see anything.
"It's right here." Qingqing lowered her head and looked at her empty arms stupidly: "The little bird is gone?"
She searched all over her body: "Strange, the little bird was just here."
"Maybe it flew away." Fu Sijin didn't see any bird at all, so he could only say this to Qingqing.
"Qingqing didn't even say goodbye to the little bird properly." Qingqing was a little disappointed. ,,.. ,...:
