If love can be booked

Chapter 122 Lin Xiaoxi meets Zhao Qinglin for the first time after marriage

Cafe, dusk

She imagined that one day in the future, she and he would be old, walking on the street, watching other young couples enjoying the good times. However, at this moment, she could only sit in front of the window and appreciate it quietly.

He went to the temporary school for research. It has been almost a week. She feels like she is going to mold. The city is always synonymous with hustle and bustle, with shops one after another...

She used to be full of fear about marriage, but when she really faced this moment, she found that it was not so scary. From then on, there was another person participating in her world. She no longer woke up late at night and counted her fingers silently, but could sleep peacefully beside him. When thunder struck, she only needed to hide in his warm embrace, and she no longer needed a night light. She felt safe in his arms. Love, because of love, life has more beautiful renderings...

A person was in a daze, just like now, in the coffee shop they often visited, but couldn't find the courage to stay. He just stood up and saw him... Zhao Qinglin.

"Hi..."

If he had known that he would meet her here today, he would have dressed up in advance. He had just come out of the conference room, wearing a formal suit and his hair was neatly combed back. He didn't come here often, but he would come and sit occasionally because she said she liked it.

Some people, once they meet, will be together for life; while some people, are destined to have no ending. Just like them at this moment, although they are close to each other, they seem to be separated by an invisible barrier. Is it late? If love can be scheduled, how great it would be!

He stared at her deeply, his eyes revealing an indescribable emotion. She stood there, her feet seemed to be nailed, unable to move. Finally, he said, "Since you are here, let's sit together for a while..."

"Why are you here?" she asked curiously. He was dressed in a suit and looked like he was at work.

"My company is in the building opposite..." He pointed out the window and asked her to look. He looked around the conference room casually, and she came into his sight. He dropped everything and looked for her...

"Would you like to go up and sit?" He looked at her in front of him, a faint smile on his lips, his voice gentle and low. Although he already knew the answer in his heart, he still had a glimmer of expectation, and her nodding and smiling face kept appearing in his mind. She, just one look, is unforgettable.

However, she shook her head gently and said softly, "No..." It turned out that his company was here...

"I was just about to go back..." she continued to explain. She wasn't in a hurry to go back for something, but it was a bit awkward to face him alone again. She couldn't figure him out, just like his eyes at this moment...

He frowned slightly, his tone a little aggrieved: "Lin Xiaoxi, even if we are just friends, you can't just leave like this, right?"

She raised her head, looked into the man's eyes, and said firmly, "Do you think we can be friends?" The emotion contained in his eyes was more than just friendship. If they could be friends, it must be because of his unreasonable behavior...

"Besides being friends, do I have any other choice?" Zhao Qinglin looked at the person in front of him, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. There is no way to go back to before I met you, if we could be friends...

"By the way, you are a married woman now..." he said softly, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Uh..." Married woman?

"Don't worry, I won't have any thoughts about you, just sit down..." There is a kind of emotion that hopes you live a good life. As long as you say you are happy, I will be happy for you... silly happiness.

The restaurant was playing melodious saxophone music, and occasionally there was the sound of spoons colliding with dishes. Lin Xiaoxi suddenly remembered that they had been here a long time ago. At that time, he said to her: "Lin Xiaoxi, can I pursue you?"

Perhaps because she was afraid of hurting him, she finally chose to forget everything in the past, even this memory was thrown out of her mind. Now that she came here again, she realized that she had already buried these memories deep in her heart.

"What about him?" Zhao Qinglin asked softly. Her world refused his presence.

"He went to a nearby school to do research." It was the first time they had been apart for such a long time. He said that he missed her so much because they had been apart for too long.

"Xiao Xi... are you doing well?" He hoped so much that she could be happy, find the love that truly belonged to her, and live happily every day. If all these could be achieved, how could he bear to disturb her?

"Well, I'm living a good life." Lin Xiaoxi said with satisfaction.

"What about you?" How about you? How are you?

"I'm doing pretty well... You know, I'm busy every day, I'm the CEO of the company?" In order to avoid falling into endless thoughts about her, he chose to numb himself with busy work. But all this was in vain. Whenever it was late at night, her figure would continue to appear in his mind.

"Drink less coffee, it's not good for your health." She said softly, her tone full of concern. She knew that when he was busy with work, he always liked to drink cup after cup of coffee.

"I know." He whispered back. She still remembered clearly what she had said and done. However, she had forgotten the most important thing, love.

"Is school stressful right now?" It's almost November and the midterm exams should be coming up soon.

"It's okay...there was nothing to do in the middle of the semester, so we..." We...went to France, but I suddenly felt cruel for telling him about their honeymoon.

"It's okay, I know." You went to France... I know, it's just one midnight, looking up, imagining what you look like... and you will never be mine...

"I'm sorry..." I just feel sorry, this is not our ending...

"Fool, why are you apologizing so nicely?" You know I don't need your sympathy and pity... and what I desire, you will never give it to me... I won't force it... I won't...

"I...I just..." Deeply guilty, if I hadn't shown up...

"Okay... waiter, pay the bill." I shouldn't be in this role in your world. If my silent withdrawal can win back your smile, then I will resolutely not show up...

"I'll take you back to school." I remember her evening self-study on weekend nights...

"Hmm..." It's 4:30 in the afternoon, and the evening study session will start in two hours...

In the car, there was no words, only the sound of each other's breathing...Turn to the music channel, a song "No Longer in Contact":

I will no longer be in contact with you. I hope you don't mind. If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that we weren't together in the first place. You are also quite satisfied with your current situation, so there is no reason for me to stay.

Just because I have cut off contact with you doesn't mean I don't miss you. I will still think of you wherever I go. I have also started to try to forget and erase all the intersections of our past that we gave up.

A deep male voice, a hint of sadness... No more contact, we no longer contact each other...

"Qinglin, can we be friends forever?" She looked up at him, her eyes clear and firm. If we can't be lovers, can we be friends? The kind that we can chat, talk to, and rely on.

"Well... we are best friends." His voice was low and gentle. However, he knew in his heart that if they couldn't be lovers, they could only be strangers. In comparison, perhaps friends were the most suitable relationship for them.

"Friends..." she murmured to herself. She knew that from now on, they would keep a certain distance, and there would be more unfamiliarity and politeness between each other. But no matter what, she would silently bless him and hope that he would be happy. Because true love is to hope that the other person lives a good life.

"Bye..." She smiled, waved goodbye, then turned and left.

"Bye..." He stood there, looking at her back as she walked away, his heart full of melancholy. They had become the most distant friends, close at hand, but with an unbridgeable gap between them.

Moving forward without stopping, have you ever left my footprints in your world? Qi Qin's "I Do" is playing in the car, and the faint sadness permeates the air...

Missing you is a very mysterious thing, following me like a shadow, silent and breathless, haunting my heart, swallowing me up in loneliness in an instant. I am powerless to resist, especially at night, when I miss you so much that I can't breathe, and I wish I could run towards you immediately and tell you loudly.

I am willing to be exiled to the sky for you...

Love is destined to run a long way, leaving no trace...
