Mizuki

Chapter 17

It was already noon when Qiao Lin drove the car to the foot of the mountain in the south of the city. Originally, this road would not take so long, but just in time for the winter solstice, a market opened at the foot of the mountain.

During this period, Su Miao didn't wake up. Qiao Lin had bought breakfast, but it was completely cold in the back seat.

Qiao Lin opened the car door and was about to throw things into the trash can when Su Miao woke up smelling the snacks on the pedestrian street.

"Are you there?" Su Miao realized that she was covered with a blanket. No wonder she felt a little hot, so she put the blanket aside casually. Seeing the crowded street ahead, her eyes lit up and she wanted to get out of the car.

"Are you planning to go out like this?" Qiao Lin leisurely pointed at Su Miao's clothes outside the window.

The inside of the car was warmer than the outside, and with the blanket covered, Su Miao felt hot when she fell asleep, so she wiped off the hoodie, squeezed the clothes onto the seat belt and the back of the seat, exposing a waist with red marks.As Qiaolin spoke, he stretched out his hand and squeezed it. It was a little hot and slippery.

"Oh, I hate it~" Su Miao made a shy look, reddened her clothes and got out of the car, Qiao Lin followed behind with a bag on her back and laughed.

The pedestrian street at noon was very lively, with the speakers of the shops on both sides repeating the same slogan mechanically with the rustling sound of electric current, intermingled with the cadenced love songs playing outside the speakers, the deafening atmosphere of the crowd was stirred up.Qiao Lin always felt that such excitement was very empty, like bubbles in the water popping up and dissipating as soon as they came out of the water.

Su Miao got excited as soon as she got out of the car. She had been sleeping all the way before coming here, and there was nothing in her stomach. Now everything she saw was delicacies from mountains and seas.

Qiao Lin just watched him keep shuttling among the food vendors, eating as if he had escaped from famine, no matter whether he caught it right out of the oven or not, he threw it in his mouth, he was so hot that he couldn't breathe and refused to spit it out. He was speaking clearly, but he couldn't swallow and spitting stuck in his throat.

Qiao Lin remained silent and took out his phone to take a picture.

In the photo, Su Miao was wearing a white sweater and khaki overalls, holding a paper box containing snacks in her left hand, and the heat was blowing upwards.Afraid of getting the sweater, he bent over and stretched his head forward, pursed his mouth and blew. The mist covered half of his face, but it couldn't stop Su Miao looking excitedly at the camera.

Su Miao looked at Qiao Lin behind the camera.

"Yeah~" Su Miao smiled and gave a V.

"Eat yours." Qiao Lin put away his phone and walked straight forward.

"Hey Brother Qiao, wait a minute," Su Miao called Qiao Lin, poked out a piece of the ration in her hand, and handed the bamboo stick to Qiao Lin's mouth: "Try it." Qiao Lin opened his mouth and ate without hesitation.

This click is like a switch, the things Su Miao bought later are all in single servings, and they are fed into Qiao Lin's mouth all the way.

After walking around and eating for a street, Su Miao finally felt that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.He sat on the bench by the side of the road and hiccupped contentedly. After a while, he suddenly fumbled around in his pocket: "Where's my phone?"

Su Miao's mobile phone is in the bag, which is wrapped around Qiao Lin.

So Qiao Lin took out his mobile phone and handed it over: "Here."

Su Miao took the phone, lowered her head, and swipe on the screen twice, then suddenly stood up and hooked his shoulders, held the phone high, adjusted the angle to the camera, and called Qiao Lin to look at the camera, and finally counted down three times, raised her finger Picking up Qiao Lin's chin, he pressed the shutter with a smile on his bewildered expression.

"Hahaha...Brother Qiao, do you look like a melon!" Su Miao laughed wildly as she looked at the picture on the phone screen. The eyelids of the lens blocked the light of the eyes, and he looked fierce, wishing to smash the zombie to the ground in the next moment.

"...shut up." Qiao Lin held his forehead, while Su Miao happily posted the photo on Moments.

This time Zhao Ze didn't comment anymore, he directly sent a private message to Su Miao: You two won't be successful, right?

However, after Su Miao posted in Moments, Qiao Lin told him that it was time to leave. "Take you somewhere," Jolin said.

He responded and put the phone away before he could look at it.

Su Miao was led by Qiao Lin to walk up the mountain. The stone steps under her feet were getting higher and higher, but she was getting farther and farther away from the winding mountain road. Seeing that there was no way to go, Qiao Lin took him to a corner and walked for a while. Suddenly, a small-scale villa appeared in front of him.

When approaching the door, Su Miao smelled the aroma of wine in the air and her eyelids twitched. This smell was very familiar to Su Miao. On the day Su Yao graduated from high school, he took him over the wall to the school playground to drink. At that time, Su Yao hadn't separate.

Walking through the front hall and the corridor, Qiao Lin pushed open the carved door, and there was a solemn and noble decoration in front of him.On the porch is a hollowed-out sculpture of Feng Qiwu, with short aisles on both sides, and a cloth curtain at the end to block the interior view. Two red plums are placed on the elevated shelf next to the curtain, which are in full bloom. The wood color is very jumpy.Everything is soaked in the mellow aroma of wine, making people can't help emptying their minds.

Su Miao was thinking that the owner of this villa would really enjoy life. Next to her, Qiao Lin took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet, put one pair on for Su Miao, opened the curtain and walked in.

The space behind the curtain is very spacious, about forty square meters, there is a round window with a height of one person, a low couch is placed under the window, the small table on the couch is warming the wine, the smell that Su Miao smells comes from here of.

Qiao Lin yelled "Brother" as soon as he entered the door, and a long-haired man in a Chinese dress and cloak by the table turned his head.The man's movements were unhurried, with warm eyebrows and eyes, a pair of red phoenix eyes opened and closed with spirit, thin lips with a smile, and a tassel on his left ear was as red as blood.

When Su Miao saw his face, she froze in place, and he couldn't mistake the eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

That was Lu Chen.

It's the one Su Yao can't ask for.

For a long time, Su Miao was brought up by Lu Chen and Su Yao.At that time, Su Miao was still young and her parents were not at home. Every time they wanted to go on a date and couldn't leave Su Miao at home alone, Su Yao would take him with her.

"So the friend you said you wanted to bring was Su Miao?" Lu Chen said to Qiao Lin with his smile undiminished.

Qiao Lin was a little surprised: "You know each other?"

"It's very familiar." Lu Chen straightened his sleeves and stood up without shoes. He walked towards Su Miao barefoot and said in a brisk tone.

As if Su Miao was nailed to the spot, she stood stiffly waiting for Lu Chen to approach.When he walked in front of Su Miao, Su Miao saw Lu Chen's appearance clearly.

He grew his long hair and tied it tightly in front of his body with a hair tie. A cinnabar was worn on the top of the tassel earrings. The tassels under the beads dangled in front of Su Miao's eyes with Lu Chen's movements.

"I haven't seen you for five or six years, don't you know me?" Lu Chen looked amused at Su Miao's blank stare, and purposely approached him, and even waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"No... I remember, you are Brother Lu Chen." Su Miao replied dully, how could she forget.

Lu Chen smiled, touched Su Miao's head as before, and asked directly, "Afraid of me? Still don't want to see me?"

"No, I don't want to see you." Su Miao was completely unprepared. After all, Lu Chen and her relationship were close but not close, and they were not familiar but very close.He didn't know how to respond, Qiao Lin suddenly grabbed his hand, pulled him to his side, and said to Lu Chen, "Brother, don't scare him."

Seeing Qiao Lin like this, Lu Chen understood, he just shrugged and said, "How could that be?"

"It's okay." Su Miao made up her mind and came out from behind Qiao Lin, and apologized to Lu Shen: "It's been a long time since I saw you, so I don't recognize you."

Lu Chen laughed twice, and said, "I won't tease you anymore. Is your brother okay now?"

"Very good...just going on a blind date." When she said this, Su Miao stared at Lu Chen's face very carefully, hoping to see his reaction.

This idea is actually quite naive, feelings are never fair, never like what he thinks, Su Yao is deeply involved, and Lu Chen should also be unable to extricate himself.

Sure enough, Lu Chen didn't express much, he just nodded and turned back to the couch, took out a porcelain cup beside him and poured wine for the two of them.

"Try it, ten-year-old Huadiao." Lu Chen pushed the cup in front of Su Miao, and said with a smile, "I know that Qiao Lin will bring friends to bring it out specially, but it's not as good as drinking it with your brother back then."

Lu Chen touched his chin as if he was recalling: "At that time, he stole it for 20 years, and only took a few ounces of wine. When he returned, he was beaten by the old man with a stick." After speaking, he laughed out loud.

Su Miao had a little impression. It was the night on the playground. Lu Chen secretly took half a bottle of wine from home. Su Miao's face turned red after taking two sips while holding the cup, and she was still laughing.

Later, when he was drunk and slept in Su Yao's arms, he vaguely felt that someone was getting close to his brother. He clearly remembered that Su Yao's body was still shaking slightly at that time.Later, he was taken home, and when he woke up the next day, he found that Su Yao was not at home.

Su Miao put away her thoughts, picked up the cup and took a sip. She had never felt that warm wine was so choking, and she coughed violently after just one sip.Qiao Lin patted Su Miao on the back to comfort him. He already knew about this relationship when Lu Chen said a few words just now.

He has been neighbors with Lu Chen since he was a child.When he was bullied by others when he was young, Lu Chen would stand up and attack the other party, so he has always been clinging to Lu Chen.Even after Lu Chen went to junior high school and moved, Qiao Lin often traveled far away.So Qiao Lin knew that Lu Chen had been with a boy before, and he often helped that person take care of his younger brother.

Later, because he took over the family's business after returning to China, he put away his youthful self-willedness and was able to take care of himself, but even if he didn't reveal those methods to him, Qiao Lin still felt that Lu Chen was unpredictable.

Su Miao was also obviously uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and asked Lu Chen, "Didn't you say that you will attend the reception later?"

Lu Chen looked out of the window, nodded and said, "Wait for your sister-in-law to come over."

Su Miao paused, curious to see this person, but didn't want to see her.

But he couldn't help but think about it, and a woman wearing a dress and exquisite makeup came in outside the door. : "Hi sister-in-law."

Su Miao didn't speak, she glanced at her and immediately turned her eyes away to pretend to be drunk.

She just smiled, turned her head and urged affectionately: "We should go."

Lu Chen turned his head and asked Qiao Lin, "When will you go back?"

Qiaolin replied: "Tomorrow at noon."

Lu Chen glanced at Su Miao and smiled lightly, "I wish you all the best."

The woman naturally took his hand and walked into the bedroom in the backyard. When she came out, she had already changed into a black suit.Su Miao noticed that Lu Chen was still wearing earrings, which didn't match her attire.

His wife's voice of reproach suddenly sounded: "You forgot to take off this earring again." Su Miao stared at the movement here, and saw Lu Chen calmly dodging her hand stretched to her left ear, and said lightly: "Let's do this first."

Su Miao's heart skipped a beat.She withdrew her hand in embarrassment, but in a flash Lu Chen bowed his head gently and said something to her. She didn't know what she said. She smiled all of a sudden, and leaned her head on Lu Chen's arm lightly, just like Xiaojia Biyu. .

Afterwards, Lu Chenchong waved his hands to the two of them, carefully lifted the skirt for his wife and walked out the door.
