Chapter 58

Ah Qi never thought that the three of them had just arrived, and before he had time to confess to Ruan Qiao, he let that boy Jiang He sell him out.

My mind went numb.

He cast a cold glance at the two of them, and said softly, "Eat your meal."

His expression didn't seem to have changed, it was cold, making it hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

But at the same time as he was speaking, he stretched out one hand under the table guiltily, grabbed the corner of Ruan Qiao's clothes and tugged at it.

Ruan Qiao looked at that hand, and then at Ah Qi's cautious eyes.

My heart softened all of a sudden.

She knew that this man was pretending to be pitiful, but she just couldn't see him like this.

Especially when we have just met after being separated for so long.

She sighed inwardly, and put the spare ribs on the serving chopsticks into his bowl.

Ah Qi's heart was finally relieved.

He held Ruan Qiao's clothes tightly, as if holding something to rely on.

Ruan Qiao signaled several times, but he refused to let go.

He even switched to his left hand for eating.

The small movements of the two made the teeth of the other two at the table ache.

Even Ruan Qiao's shock just now was automatically recognized as shy by them.

After all, Jiang He and Jiang Ying are only sixteen years old, and they haven't cultivated enough to be able to watch their cousins show affection and still remain indifferent.

So, even though the food was delicious, neither of them enjoyed it.

Gobbled it up, and put down the chopsticks together after a while.

"We're done eating."

"Let's go see a few of them."

The two spoke together.

Taking a look at the jobs they had cleaned up, Ah Qi didn't stop them.

Instead, he ordered softly: "Go back to your room first, and I will go with you later."

The two quickly agreed, and left the restaurant as quickly as if their butts were on fire.

There was no one in the room.

Ruan Qiao's face became serious again.

She pushed the bowl forward, ready to ask what the two children meant by what they said just now.

What else is this man hiding from him?

But before she could speak, Ah Qi suddenly stood up, hugged her tightly and pressed her into his arms.

Then he lowered his head and buried his head in her neck.

Ruan Qiao froze for a moment, all the words he was about to interrogate were stuck in his throat.

Ah Qi took a deep breath, as if he wanted to deeply engrave this familiar and missed taste in his memory.

After a long time, he said softly: "Qiao Qiao, I miss you so much, do you miss me a little?"

There was a hint of hoarseness in his voice because of his excitement.

That voice surrounded Ruan Qiao's ears, itching and making her ears burn.

So hugged by Ah Qi, hugged tightly.

Ruan Qiao felt it suddenly at the beginning, but after he said this, it became slightly sweet again.

It's not that she and Ah Qi have never been so close before, and sometimes this person would be fond of her regardless of his being coquettish.

But in broad daylight, and such face-to-face intimacy, there is really no such thing.

This made her somewhat at a loss.

But, she really missed him too.

Ruan Qiao couldn't help rubbing his face against Ah Qi's soft hair, then put his arms around his back, and said softly, "Yes, I miss you too."

Although Ruan Qiao couldn't see the face of the man on her shoulder, she clearly felt his happiness after she said these words.

This made Ruan Qiao curl up his lips, and gave Ah Qi a hug even harder.

Then she gently pushed him away, trying to restrain her shyness, pointed to the chair next to her and said, "Sit."

Ah Qi naturally knew that Ruan Qiao wanted to ask the question just now, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across the reluctant expression.

He didn't sit down, but stood up straight.

He looked deeply at Ruan Qiao, and said solemnly: "My grandfather and I said that when I come back for vacation next year, we will get married.

At that time, I think saying this was a barrier for everyone.It's just that the incident happened too suddenly, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you in advance. This is my fault, and I apologize to you.but……"

Ah Qi pursed his lips, and his expression became more determined: "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. I didn't mean to be perfunctory to grandpa, and I didn't mean to use marriage as a shield. I want to marry you, Qiao Qiao, will you marry me?"it is good?"

Ruan Qiao was stunned by these words.

Her mind is in a mess.

During the meal just now, after the initial shock, she already thought that the reason why Ah Qi said that was mostly to protect her and the orphanage.

After all, anyone who thinks about it knows how important Ah Qi is to the Jiang family now.

The more he defended himself, the more people in the Jiang family would have more scruples and considerations when interacting with him.

Especially since he is going back to the army soon, it is impossible to stay here forever.

He was taking himself in the orphanage and her as his reliance.

Therefore, although Ruan Qiao made a posture of asking questions, it was only because Jiang He and the others said it too embarrassingly just now, and wanted to scare this person.

I have already forgiven this practice in my heart.

But Ruan Qiao didn't expect that Ah Qi would take the opportunity to confess his love.

...Is this a confession?

Although she hadn't had this kind of experience before, and Ah Qi didn't say anything sweet, but looking at his sincere and warm eyes, he could still feel his sincere heart.

Ruan Qiao always knew that Ah Qi had a deep affection for him, after all, this person never concealed it.

She has also considered what kind of feelings she has for him, is it the feeling of a friend or the relationship between a man and a woman?

Before Ah Qi left, she was still a little uncertain, but after this person left, Ruan Qiao found that she liked him.

No matter how good the relationship between friends is, you won’t miss them all the time, want to share everything with him, and have that kind of subconscious and wholehearted dependence.

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, and feel sad and inexplicably depressed at any time, and can't help feeling wronged. The days without him, feel that everywhere is empty.

Even if Ruan Qiao doesn't understand, she still knows that this should be her liking.

Ah Qi's return this time was an unexpected surprise for Ruan Qiao.

She also thought about talking about it before he left.

If you like it, you like it. Now that you have confirmed your relationship, Ruan Qiao never thought of hiding it.

What's more, this person will return to the army soon, and even go to the battlefield soon.

She didn't want to leave any regrets for the two of them.

But she didn't expect that Ah Qi would be the first to confess when she was unprepared.

In Ah Qi's eyes, Ruan Qiao's silence turned into rejection.

His eyes dimmed, and the deep sense of loss made him feel a little suffocated, and he was speechless for a while.

Ruan Qiao raised her head and was about to express her thoughts, but before she could speak, Ah Qi hurriedly stepped forward and covered Ruan Qiao's mouth.

His eye circles slowly turned red, and panic and resistance were written all over his body.

He pursed his lips tightly, showing no hesitation.

It was like knowing that what he did was wrong, but he still didn't want Ruan Qiao to speak, for fear that she would say something that he couldn't accept.

Ruan Qiao almost laughed at his childish approach.

All the tenderness in my heart before was disturbed by this person and disappeared, leaving only speechlessness and temper.

She widened her eyes, stretched out a finger and poked Ah Qi's face, warning him with her eyes: "Release!"

But Ah Qi didn't move.

She glared at him, poked him twice, and signaled him: "If you don't let go, I'll be angry."

Ah Qi still didn't move.

But soon, he lowered his head and put his face on Ruan Qiao's shoulder, and warm tears wet Ruan Qiao's clothes.

Ruan Qiao opened the hand that was still on his mouth in surprise, stroked his hair, and asked, "Why are you crying?"

After that, tried to push him away, trying to see his face.

But Ah Qi obviously didn't want her to see his distressed appearance, so he hugged her even tighter, pressed his eyes on her shoulders, and bit his lip desperately to keep silent.

Ruan Qiao became anxious, and reached out to push his face again.

Ah Qi raised his head.

Then she looked at her with those red eyes, and asked with a choked up voice: "Qiao Qiao, don't you rush to reject me, okay? I know you don't like me that much now, but there is still a year before I go on vacation again next year."Years. Even if next year’s vacation is not enough, there will be a future, we still have a lot of time.

Qiao Qiao, let's not be in a hurry, don't rush to make a decision, just look at me again and give me a little more time, okay?Maybe one day you will think that I am okay and will marry me?"

As Ah Qi spoke, his voice began to tremble again.

He probably didn't want Ruan Qiao to see his sadness again, so he turned his back suddenly,

He took a deep breath before continuing: "Even if you really don't like me that much, it doesn't matter. I will work harder to make you like me. But don't say it, don't let me know.

Ruan Qiao couldn't say anything.

She never imagined that in Ah Qi's heart, she had no confidence in the relationship between the two of them.

After thinking about it again, she understood again. After all, she never said the word "like" to this person from the beginning to the end.

As if he had been wishful thinking all along.

Thinking of this, Ruan Qiao felt distressed.

She turned Ah Qi's body, stood on tiptoe and hugged his face with both hands, forcing him to look at her, and then looked into his eyes and said, "I promise you."

Ah Qi was hugged by her like this, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he didn't understand what Ruan Qiao meant.

Ruan Qiao wiped Ah Qi's eyes with his fingers, looked at the wet marks on his fingers with a little distaste, and said, "You are such an adult, you can cry whenever you want, and I don't know what you are on the battlefield.Look, how do you lead troops like this?"

Ah Qi rubbed his face against her palm in embarrassment, and said in a muffled voice, "Only in front of you."

After that, he looked up at Ruan Qiao, and asked her what she meant by what she said just now.

Ruan Qiao pinched Ah Qi's face with her fingers, and said: "Although you didn't even propose marriage, I was really a little angry when you told the world about it. But what you said just now... I have the right to beIt was you who confessed. So I promised you, after all, I like you very much!"

Ah Qi stood up straight suddenly, with an expression of disbelief.

Seeing him like this, Ruan Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She waved her hand at him, then turned her face and added: "Don't think too much, I'm talking about agreeing to associate with you, as for other things, I'll talk about it later."

But such a sentence is undoubtedly the sound of nature to Ah Qi.

The expression on his face changed rapidly, from dazed at first to shock, and then into ecstasy...

Then he suddenly laughed.

The eyes were shining, as if they were filled with starlight.

He hugged Ruan Qiao again, bowed his head and kissed her hair, absorbing the familiar smell from her body.

As if to use this method to confirm that everything that happened just now is true, Ruan Qiao agreed to associate with him.
