Chapter 77 I Miss You!

For the second time, Li Qian came to the house of Mr. Qi Jie, who is opposite the door.

After a few days, the room at this time has been cleaned up spotlessly, and all kinds of things are also put in order.

This time, Li Qian's treatment was an extra cup of coffee.

It's just that the two faced each other, but the embarrassment still lingered.

"It's so clean." Li Qian boasted.

Qi Jie smiled, "Just now...thank you."

"Hi!" Li Qian shook his head, "It doesn't help much, just stand by the side to fill up the number of people."

Qi Jie looked up at him and said, "I remember when I taught you, your temperament was much more lively than now, especially your mouth, I think it seems that you can say, why are you so honest now? ?”

"Uh..." Li Qian was slightly stunned when he heard the words. Thinking about it, he felt that there was such a thing. When he first came to this world, he seemed to be very glib. In front of my parents, I still subconsciously want to talk glibly, but when facing other people, my mouth is getting more and more honest.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Maybe it's because I think...you don't like girls if you're glib?" While talking, he laughed and explained, "You're just kidding, you are my teacher!"

Qi Jie smiled, took a sip of coffee from the cup, it was too hot, raised her head and glanced at Li Qian, there was something she wanted to say but didn't want to say. In the end, she just smiled and said: "Boys like you, no matter whether they are honest or glib, girls like them, they are handsome, and they have no human rights!"

Li Qian looked up at her in surprise, shrugged, smiled, and then lowered his head.

I haven't seen her for two months, but something seems to have happened to Mr. Qi Jie.

This change does not mean that she cut off her original ponytail and replaced it with Sassoon's straight hair, which looks more energetic and mature, nor is it that she doesn't seem to pay much attention to what she said when she was a teacher. She's put on airs, but... her whole person's vigor and spirit, the momentum and taste of her whole person seem to have changed a lot.

Appears... more capable?

In short, it is more open and direct, and of course, the speech is indeed a lot sharper.

After a while, she took the initiative to speak and asked, "Are you... still writing songs?"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "I'm writing, I plan to rely on this for my living in the future!"

Qi Jie nodded and said: "The songs you gave Liao Liao are really popular now, um, they are all very nice, I have listened to many of the songs you wrote, hehe, I overheard them without you knowing , are very nice, you are very talented!"

Li Qian smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

Then, he hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he pointed to the room and said, "Here... are you still used to it?"

Qi Jie looked around her house, smiled, and said: "It's good to live alone. I used to live with my parents. I didn't need to cook or even clean up. Everything is ready-made, and now I've moved out... Except for being a little tired, everything else is better, more free, more free and easy, and more... Anyway, it’s pretty good, and you moved out for this, right?”

Li Qian smiled and wanted to explain a few words, but finally nodded, "Almost, young people want to be more comfortable."

Qi Jie smiled and nodded when she heard the words.

Then, she took a shallow sip of coffee, lowered her head for a moment, and said, "So..."

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then put down his coffee cup and stood up, smiling apologetically, "Oh, yes... I'm sorry to bother you for so long, then I'll go back first, and we'll talk when I have time."

Qi Jie also put down her coffee cup and stood up, smiled, and said, "Okay, then...see you later."

"See you."

Li Qian got up and walked out.

However, he had only gone a few steps when Qi Jie behind him suddenly said, "I know, you must want to ask something, right?"

Li Qian turned around and looked at her.

She smiled, turned around and sat down again, pointed to the sofa, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "Come on, just ask what you want to ask? I know, Liao Liao has always been quite curious... Do you want to ask me, why are you angry?"

Li Qian thought about it, went back and sat down, and said, "I'm a little curious. But if it's not convenient for you to say it, it's actually..."

"It's nothing inconvenient." Qi Jie said, "I'm just... just..."

She laughed at herself again, and said, "Do you remember a song you wrote yourself?" She waved her arm subconsciously, and shouted under her breath, "Because we are born free!"

Of course, not a single word is in the tone.

Li Qian nodded, "That song is called "Little Bird". Have you heard it?"

Qi Jie nodded and said with a smile: "You know? Actually, ever since I knew you were the one singing on the rooftop, I have always felt that you are not you. I have always felt... Uh, I don't know how to describe it, just It's like... It's like there's another person living in your head, a... an old guy who is so wise that it's frightening! In short, your words and deeds, your actions, your songs, your people , gave me an unbelievably mature feeling! Just like that song, I clearly remember how you screamed out the lyrics that day, I remember when I..."

She smiled, frowned, and said, "I remember that after listening to this sentence, I cried so hard!"

Li Qian listened quietly all the time, interjected at the right time, and asked, "So, what then?"

Qi Jie said: "Then... Then I kept thinking, thinking, born to be free? What is born to be free? How can I be free? I couldn't figure it out... No, actually I understand, but I have been thinking Hesitating, I couldn't bear to throw away some things. Then, Liao Liao came, and then, I introduced you to each other, and I felt in a trance, ah, it turns out that dealing with you is such a fun thing, look, no matter It's you, or Liao Liao, you are the kind of people who can pick up a guitar and play a piece of music at will, I think, your life must be full of happiness! You are all so free! You can write songs , Liao Liao can release records, you are all doing what you love to do, and you can still get a proper income, and continue to do what you love to do... At that time, I felt that I was so lucky to be friends with you ..."

Hearing this, Li Qian suddenly nodded, as if he understood something.

Seeing his appearance, Qi Jie also nodded with a smile, "That's right, so...hehe, I really felt quite sad at the time. There was a feeling...that I was cut off by you geniuses!"

Li Qian nodded and said, "Although it's a bit late, but... I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"I know, I know, I understand..." She hurriedly interrupted with a smile, "Actually, I understood it at the time. Later, Liao Liao told me that this is the default rule in your industry, and I understood it better. I just can't control myself, I just can't help being sad and disappointed... Haha! But, it's all right now..."

She smiled, with an inexplicable brilliance on her face, and then, she looked around her room with an indescribable pride in her expression, "I resigned, and I live according to the prescribed route designed by my parents. After more than 20 years, now I am free! Then, I sold my little car and drove it for more than a year, and it is 90% new. The little money I saved was enough for the original price of the car, and then I returned the dowry, so my marriage was free, hehe, although I am a little poor, but...it feels good! "

Li Qian looked at her and nodded solemnly, "Congratulations!"

Qi Jie smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you."

After hesitating for a while, Li Qian asked again: "So, you are now..."

"That's right, selling cosmetics." She smiled and said, "The internship period is three months, three hundred yuan a month, and there is a commission, and it doesn't matter what your education background is, as long as you can speak well and sell things, it's best Like me, the skin is not bad, and I can do a live advertisement or something, so... I only spent one and a half months, and ended the internship period ahead of schedule. Now the monthly basic salary is 800 yuan, plus the commission, the income is not bad Yes, and before moving, I was just promoted to be the group leader of our counter, hehe... I plan to do it for a few more months, and then I will find a way to represent a brand by myself..."

Holding the coffee cup in his hand, Li Qian took a sip from time to time, listening to her chattering about her current achievements, seeing the radiance of excitement naturally released on her face, he couldn't help but feel happy for her.

Don't say that the teacher's profession is more decent, don't say that the teacher's income is more stable, and the future life is more secure. Of course, some people are willing to live that kind of life, but obviously, Qi Jie doesn't like it, and now , She got rid of the stability and decency of the past, and lived a life she liked... Is there anything better in the world than this?

"Congratulations!" Li Qian sent out his sincere congratulations.

Qi Jie just smiled and put down the coffee cup. She even joked, "So, if you want to give Wang Jinglu any gift in the future, please try to consider the cosmetics I represent! Don't worry, I'll give you a 30% discount only for VIPs!"

Li Qian smiled and nodded, "No problem!"

Frankly speaking, after talking about the little misunderstanding between each other, Li Qian thinks that Qi Jie is quite a cute girl.

Like the girls he met in his last life, she is simple, sincere, pursuing, and somewhat idealistic, but she dares to make great strides towards her goal... To be honest, after living in her thirties, facing such a full-fledged On the contrary, Li Qian couldn't help being a little envious of a lively little girl, but also a little ashamed of herself.

After coming to this time and space, he said that he wanted to relive his youth, but in fact, Li Qian knew very well in his heart that the bullshit youth... a person in his thirties, no matter how much you try to imitate, how much you try to find Returning to that kind of youthful feelings, but how is it possible?

Just like the illusion that Qi Jie said just now: Although he is only seventeen years old, his mentality is already so old that he has become a middle-aged person.

So he bowed his head in silence, and his mood suddenly fell.

At this time, Qi Jie seemed to have noticed Li Qian's abnormality, she stopped talking, and when Li Qian looked over, she asked with a smile: "So... another cup of coffee?"

"Oh, no!" Li Qian put down his cup and explained with a smile, "Don't dare to drink too much, I'm afraid I'll be too excited if I drink too much coffee!"

Qi Jie nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "So... I am not your teacher now, but I still hope to be friends with you... This, is it okay?"

Li Qian smiled, then nodded seriously, "Of course!"

After a pause, he said mockingly again: "As long as you don't think I'm still a kid, or... don't dislike another old man living in my mind..."

Qi Jie laughed out loud.

"Right! This is how you speak!"

Li Qian just smiled.

Then, Qi Jie stopped suddenly, and after a while, she raised her head and looked at Li Qian expectantly, "Then...can you sing me that..."Little Bird" again?"

Li Qian nodded, "Of course! Now?"

Qi Jie said, "Now!"

Li Qian smiled, stood up and said, "Wait for me, I'll get the guitar!"

After speaking, he opened the door and went home to get the guitar, and came back quickly, but just as he sat down on the sofa, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling with his finger, saying, "Do you want to go upstairs?"

Qi Jie's eyes lit up, "Okay! Then go upstairs!"

So, the two went out and climbed directly to the top of the building—although one is a teaching building and the other is a residential building, but in a daze, the feeling of hiding in the corridor and listening to Li Qian singing suddenly came back up.

So Li Qian strummed the strings lightly, and quickly became violent, and began to sing: "Ideals are always flying around, illusory; reality is still real, and there is no way to hide..."

All of a sudden, Qi Jie felt that her heart was suddenly picked up by someone. The familiar chords and the familiar roar reminded her of everything that day. In a moment, her nose became sore...

Li Qian sang very emotionally... This song "Little Bird" was originally his personal favorite work.

Singing and singing, he closed his eyes unknowingly, and his body swayed with the rhythm.

Qi Jie stared at him blankly, although she was already trying to control, trying to control...but...

... ... ...

After a violent repeated strumming, the guitar stopped.

After playing the last note, Li Qian exhaled slowly and opened his eyes.

Qi Jie looked up at him, her eyes dim with tears, lifeless and haggard.

Then, she raised her hands, buried her face in her palms, and began to cry.

Combining the past and the past, Li Qian has never heard of someone crying so wronged and heartbroken. It seems that the grievances accumulated for decades or even a lifetime are all vented at this time.

He didn't say anything, and he wasn't even going to try to persuade her.

Sighing, he moved the guitar to his side, took out the cigarette case from his pocket, looked at Qi Jie, hesitated for a moment, finally took out a cigarette, lit it with a snap, and took a deep puff .

For Qi Jie, this should be a good catharsis, but for him, why not?

Now that he is in the music circle, he has faintly begun to feel a little bit of success, at least he is on the road to success, and if there are no accidents, the road ahead should be smooth.

But from time to time, he also felt lonely, feeling alone.

... ... ...

Smoke spewed from his mouth and nose, and was quickly blown away by the cool September wind.

He took another deep breath and exhaled...

For example, as a musician and a singer, he understands that smoking is not good for his throat, and even smoking is not good at all. In fact, when he first transmigrated, his original body did not have any addiction to smoking. But is smoking addiction really a physical problem?

Whenever he is happy, whenever he is disappointed, whenever he is lonely, whenever he is lonely...he always wants to find a cigarette.

... ... ...

Qi Jie was sobbing and sobbing, covering her face with her hands, sobbing, her body trembling violently, but not heartbreaking.

She seems to be just venting the grievances and hesitation in the past...not angry.

Li Qian sniffed, took another deep breath, and then spat it out...

Then, he squatted down, extinguished the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs on the ground, and put the remaining half of the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

Qi Jie has been crying so much that she forgets herself, as if it will never end.

Li Qian sat there, looking at her indifferently, like looking at a little girl who lost her doll.

... ... ...

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few minutes, or maybe tens of minutes, Qi Jie's crying finally gradually became smaller and weaker, and finally almost stopped, leaving only a sob from time to time...

After a while, she finally stopped completely, and then she raised her head and looked at Li Qian.

Li Qian was looking at her, smiled when he saw this, and said, "Crying?"

Qi Jie reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, face, and chin, and said with a chuckle, "You smoked just now, don't think I didn't see it!" Her voice was slightly hoarse.

Li Qian smiled, "I'm greedy, so I only take a few puffs once in a while, I don't dare to smoke too much, I have to protect my throat."

While speaking, he took out a pack of tissues in his trouser pocket and handed it over.

Qi Jie took it with a smile, and teased him, "Do you often make Wang Jinglu cry, you have prepared so well?" She took out a tissue to wipe away her tears. Wiping, but said helplessly: "I knew I would cry, I knew I would cry when I heard this song, but... I didn't expect that I would cry like this."

Li Qian smiled, with a calm expression from beginning to end, "It's not a bad thing for a woman to cry. A woman who can cry is only beautiful."

Qi Jie chuckled again when she heard this, "Why do you feel that the you now are completely different from the you an hour ago? Now you are like an old playboy? You are glib and old-fashioned!"

Li Qian still smiled and didn't answer.

It took four paper towels before she finally wiped almost all the tears on her face. After throwing the remaining half pack of paper towels to Li Qian, she stood up and said, "It's really good to cry a lot. !"

Li Qian smiled again, but still didn't speak.

Qi Jie looked at him and asked, "Hey, don't tell me that there is really an old man living in your head? How old are you, how could you write such a song?"

Li Qian pointed at himself and said with a smile, "I'm a genius!"

Qi Jie "cut" and gave him a white look, as if mocking Li Qian's stinking beauty.

After a pause, she took a deep breath, looked at the still bright and somewhat violent sunlight not far away, and said, "Thank you for your song! I'm already crying, let's go down!"

Li Qian stood up with a smile, and followed her downstairs.

Then the two of them walked to the third floor without saying a word, bid farewell to each other, and went back to their respective homes.

However, after returning to his home, Li Qian stood on the balcony, looked at the opposite building, at the flower bed downstairs, and at the children playing beside the flower bed, and sighed unconsciously.

After a while, he took out his mobile phone, typed a few words, and pressed send.

Then, he took out the cigarette case again, knocked out the half of the cigarette he had just smoked, wanted to light it, hesitated for a while, sighed, and put it back again.

"I miss you," he said.
