    Forty-seventh chapter sensational?

    After he went out, just as the door was closed, Qiao Li's mother went straight in: "Tell me, what is his specific situation, do you two hide it and think I can't see it?"

    She had a bad tone, as if the two of them had done something outrageous.

    Qiao Li pursed her lips: "What do you want to hear?"

    "Who is it?"

    "The old city of my hometown now lives in city b."

    "Work?"

    Qiao Li was stuck for a while, but answered truthfully: "No, he is still a student."

    Her mother suddenly stopped talking.

    Qiao Li's father quickly eased the atmosphere: "Uh, does the student mean a graduate student or a Ph.D.?"

    Qiao Li's arm, this is a subconscious defensive action.

    "College student, eighteen years old this year."

    The room suddenly fell into a stalemate.

    In the end, Qiao Li's mother suppressed her anger and said, "Qiao Li, what are you thinking? You are twenty-six, how can you be so embarrassed to fall in love with an eighteen-year-old boy, you thought it was like when you were young, you can talk and have fun Son?"

    Qiao Li was helpless: "How do you know that I'm just kidding and not serious?"

    "He's only eighteen!"

    "Yes, so what?"

    Her mother was furious at her indifferent attitude: "Are you stimulated because you broke up with Zhou Zhe, how did you become like this? Who are you showing stubbornness to?"

    Qiao Li couldn't understand her: "He dumped me, I've already found the next one, it's hard to tell if I'm cheating, I'm going to shoot a gun to celebrate getting away from scumbags, what's the excitement?"

    Qiao Li's tone was not very good. When she was twenty-six years old, it was the first time she was "disobedient", and she slapped Qiao Li's mother on the bed with anger: "What is your attitude!"

    Qiao Li rubbed her brows and sighed, "Mom, can you leave me alone? I have a plan in my heart."

    Her mother sneered: "Dating with an eighteen-year-old boy is what you call well-known? You are seven or eight years older than him. Why, can you still marry him?"

    Her tone and expression were really hurtful, and Qiao Li could only say, "You don't have to worry about it anyway."

    Qiao Li's mother's voice was sharp and piercing, and she wanted to point at her forehead to accuse: "Why don't you care about me? I think you've lost your mind. After talking with Zhou Zhe for seven years, you'll be gone. All the good youth is wasted. I haven't even got a marriage certificate, and his conditions are so good, you can't keep him just because you have no prospects!"

    Qiao Li clenched her teeth and was abruptly subjected to her unreasonable accusations.

    "I knew, I knew you were this kind of person, Zhou Zhe broke up with you, you don't know how to reflect on your own problems? Do you think you are amazing, read a few books, and joined a foreign company, Just feel like you're awesome, don't you?"

    Qiao Li suppressed the sourness in her nose and looked at her, her voice weak: "I don't."

    Qiao Li has lived for more than 20 years, and she has always been a good girl who will never say anything back. Such a series of rebuttals made Qiao Li's mother's blood rush to her forehead.

    "You give me another try!" She suddenly stood up and shouted.

    Qiao Li's expression remained unchanged: "Zhou Zhe and I will never be able to get back together in this life. If it doesn't fit, it's not suitable. Even if I marry him, I will divorce. What should I do then? Are you here to urge me to get married again?"

    "Snapped"

    Qiao Li's mother slapped her hard, and Qiao Li's head was tilted, and her cheeks and ears hurt.

    Her mother's voice was trembling and sharp: "Okay, okay, you just want to be mad at me, don't you? Raising you is a debt I owe you in my last life! Your dad and I have worked hard for you for so many years, why are you not doing it for your own good? From small to large"

    Qiao Li turned her head to look at her, and suddenly sneered: "What happened to me when I was young? Was I not good enough when I was young?"

    "You..." Her mother's chest heaved violently with anger, trembling for a long time, and shouted, "You white-eyed wolf!"

    The illogical accusation is the kind of discourse that hurts the most.

    Qiao Li was used to it, as long as she didn't satisfy her mother at all, she was raised in vain and owed her.

    She said calmly: "You want me to be well-behaved and sensible, and I will never cause trouble. No matter how much grievance I suffer, I will break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach. Second; if you want me to be low-key and quiet, I have never dressed myself, and I don't even dare to envy other girls' heads and skirts; if you want me to stand out, I will climb up like crazy, from college to now, in one breath I don’t dare to rest; you want me to save my worries and troubles, so I will report the good news instead of the bad news. I haven’t taken a penny from my family since I went to college. No matter how tired or hard I am, I dare not talk to you. I hope you can comfort me."

    Qiao Li's father couldn't listen anymore and stood up to touch her.

    She took a step back and continued: "You want me to be strong, you want me to be firm and not soft, you want me to be sensible, you want me to put aside all necessary unnecessary frailties, and everything is framed and detailed... I ask you , what did I fail to do?"

    Her voice was not loud, but it was loud, and when she said the last sentence, she couldn't hold back her trembling voice.

    Qiao Li's parents were too shocked to speak, and the house fell into a dead silence.

    In the end, her father hesitated and said, "Daughter, what's wrong with you, you were not like this before..."

    Qiao Li pressed her tongue against her numb cheek, and shook her head gently: "No way? Dad, Mom, this is me, this is me. You think that with the good-looking, quiet and good student I used to be, I can be here Has City Z struggled alone until now?"

    When the words fell, Qiao Li's mother suddenly burst into tears and looked at her silently.

    The room fell into a repressed silence again, except for soft sobbing.

    Qiao Li didn't start, she didn't want to see her wipe her tears: "Mom, my life has always been chasing the goals you gave me, just like fighting monsters and upgrading, one task after another, I don't dare to slack off easily, for fear of you I don't like me anymore when I'm disappointed. But now I don't want to live that kind of life, I hope that my life will be my life in the future, and I will stop running after one goal after another."

    She picked up the coat on the chair and pushed the door out. Feng Yi was eavesdropping on her ears outside the door. When she saw her suddenly come out, she was startled and quickly stood up straight.

    After she went out, she put away all her emotions, trimmed her hair, tidied up her smile, and went to the living room to chat with relatives and friends naturally, as if nothing had happened just now.

    Feng Yi followed behind her nervously, and after stepping out of the door, she mustered up the courage to reach out to hold her, only to realize that her palm was cold.

    He put her hand into his warm pocket and said carefully, "I'm sorry."

    Qiao Li turned to look at him with a soft tone: "Why are you apologizing?"

    "If I hadn't sneaked here without telling you, I wouldn't have been discovered, and I wouldn't have..."

    Qiao Li smiled indifferently: "It's none of your business, anyway, it's going to happen sooner or later."

    He grabbed her hand violently, and she was pulled back by him and bumped into his arms.

    "I think I should hug you."

    He wrapped her around her, warm in his embrace, with a faint scent, like a fortress of safety in a blizzard.

    Qiao Li didn't move, let him stand beside the car and hold her to blow the cold wind on a cold windy day, and said with a long smile, "Stupid."

    He put his chin on her head and whispered again, "I'm sorry."

    Qiao Li asked, "Why are you apologizing again?"

    Feng Yi said in a dull voice, "I think it would be great if I could appear in your life earlier. Maybe when I saw you on the subway a year and a half ago, I should have boldly stepped forward."

    She joked: "That's not good, I didn't break up at the time, I didn't cheat, so you didn't have a chance."

    Feng Yi didn't joke with her, but his tone was more serious: "That's not what I meant, I just think... If I could have known you earlier, I could have told you earlier."

    "what?"

    "They are wrong, you are not wrong." Feng Yi considered, "You are a person of flesh and blood, of course you can be fragile, compassionate, and fantasist. Girls have delicate emotions, and they are more devoted to their emotions. You're also more vulnerable, so fear and cowardice don't mean you're not strong. Every combination of traits makes you who you are.

    He kissed the top of her head: "cherish your fragility and softness, these qualities make you very moving."

    Qiao Li was bored in his arms, didn't speak for a long time, then laughed out loud: "...Aren't you Feng three years old? How did you become so mature all of a sudden."

    Feng Yi felt her back tremble and gently patted her to comfort her. He hugged her tightly and said no more, letting Qiao Li enjoy a brief moment of unbridled vulnerability in his arms.

    Most people in the world have never expected someone to come down from the sky to save them one day. Too many lessons tell them that only they can pull themselves.

    Before this night, Qiao Li thought so too. She had never thought that everything was so simple, and the turbulent injustice and fear were swept away by a warm hug.

    If love makes you vulnerable, it also makes you strong.
