Chapter 85: That first love

…

"Okay, I'm fine." Liu Qing couldn't help but light up a cigarette again, her hand holding the filter trembling slightly. She tried her best to look relaxed and indifferent: "What about you?

"

"You have changed so much that I almost don't recognize you." Su Jingxian looked at the most important man in her life, a man who directly affected her life, a man who could never be erased from her heart. She was almost the same as him.

The boy who is full of vigor and youthful vitality in my memory every day cannot be overlapped. The face that was originally slightly green and immature is now as hard and mature as a knife. The bronze skin and the much rougher appearance are faintly visible.

Full of a sense of vicissitudes of life. Su Jingxian could not imagine how many things Liu Qing had gone through and how much suffering he had suffered during the nine years when the two were separated and had no contact. A layer of sadness appeared in her heart, if it were not for the layer of scruples and distance in her heart

, I wanted to hug him tightly and cry bitterly.

Liu Qing unconsciously touched his slightly rough face, took another deep puff of cigarette, shrugged and laughed at himself: "It's been too long. Maybe you can't remember what I look like."

"Xiao Mei's mother is not your girlfriend, right?" Su Jingxian couldn't understand Liu Qing's words. She felt a sense of grievance and her nose was sour. She smiled reluctantly and did not answer Liu Qing's rhetorical question.

Suddenly the topic changed.

"Ah? You..." Liu Qing opened his mouth and switched his legs from side to side. He immediately smiled easily and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am."

Su Jingxian stared at Liu Qing gently and sighed: "Liu Qing, you are a man who can never learn to lie. You were before and you are now?"

"Have I ever lied to you before?" Liu Qing was slightly stunned.

Su Jingxian stood up and filled both of their teacups gently. A smile was hidden in her clear and soft eyes: "I remember it very clearly since I was five years old. In the past eleven years, you have been there thirteen times.

I rolled down the stairs, accidentally bumped into a telephone pole nineteen times, and had an accident while riding my bicycle twenty-six times. Anyway, according to your explanation, none of the bruises on my face were caused by fighting."

Liu Qing couldn't help but blush when she told her the embarrassing story of the year so clearly. He forced himself to defend himself and said, "Nonsense, uh. One time I really crashed into a car."

"Is it because I was sick and resting at home when I was in the third year of junior high school? You climbed over the wall to skip class and came to my house to see me. And because I was soft-spoken and wanted to eat tofu pudding, you went home and stole a hundred yuan and rode a bicycle.

The time you went to buy it?" Su Jingxian said, with a vague mist in her eyes.

Liu Qing took a breath of air and said with a strange and surprised look on his face: "How come you remember it so clearly?"

"Because that time was the only time when you told me that you accidentally fell and fell, your eyes didn't wander." Su Jing looked at Liu Qing's face quietly.

Liu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that nothing could be hidden from her. She just didn't expose herself before. Thanks to the lies she kept telling, she really thought that Su Jingxian was easy to deceive. She couldn't help but feel a little hot on her face.

Said: "Also, how did you know that I stole money when I came home?"

"Liu Qing, have you forgotten that we are neighbors?" Su Jingxian's eyes were extremely complicated, as if she couldn't bear it, and she slowly closed her eyes: "That day when you were hung up by Uncle Rifle and whipped, I was lying there

I could hear it clearly from the bed. Every time you were spanked in the past, you would howl like a killing pig. But that time, you didn’t even say a word. But I was a little curious. The remaining money from that time,

Did you really use it to buy cigarettes and smoke it like Uncle Rifle said?"

Liu Qing smiled awkwardly: "I forgot to ask for change." He put the cigarette butt into the ashtray, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Su Jingxian looked at him gently, looking at his slightly embarrassed and panic expression. Unknowingly, tears rolled down her cheeks. I forgot to ask for change... Such a simple sentence, but

She was so thoughtful that she could no longer control the sadness in her heart. The clear scene appeared in front of her eyes again. Liu Qing put the tofu pudding in the plastic pocket into the green-rimmed bowl, and handed the bowl to the bowl with his left hand with a twinkling look.

Himself. And when I was acting coquettishly and forcing him to feed me while I was sick, I caught a glimpse of the shocking scratches on the palm of his right hand.

"Liu Qing, are you still in pain?" Su Jingxian couldn't help but gently grabbed his hand and slowly placed it on her slightly hot cheek.

Liu Qing's eyes were hazy, and when he opened his mouth to speak, his heart became cold, and he pulled his hand back with a calm expression: "Those things have been in the past for a long time. I can no longer remember them."

Su Jingxian was stunned for a moment, but then quickly turned around. She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a tissue. She forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Liu Qing, you know my character..."

"It's okay." Liu Qing twitched the corner of his mouth and said calmly: "I just don't like talking about embarrassing things in the past."

The two fell silent again, each with his head lowered and silent.

"I remember you went to join the army." After a long time, Su Jingxian broke the silence. She held the green tea cup tightly with both hands, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly: "Are you retired now, or are you working in the army?"

"Fired." Liu Qing replied calmly: "It happened a long time ago, six years ago."

Su Jingxian was not surprised. There was a hint of certainty in the corner of her mouth. She smiled lightly and took a sip of tea.

"Why are you laughing?" Liu Qing looked at her strangely, as if she was very happy that she was expelled. But she suddenly came to her senses, touched her nose and smiled bitterly: "Are you laughing? With someone like me,

He is irritable, impulsive, and has a bad temper that is tougher than an ox. Is it a miracle that he stayed in the army for three years? Indeed, I brought the commander to the hospital for rescue, and you guessed it."

Su Jingxian shook her head slowly, her expression gradually became calmer, and she said softly: "Although you are impulsive, you never get into fights and cause trouble for no reason. I think something must have happened that you cannot tolerate."

Liu Qing was silent, and the faces of Er Lunzi and those dead comrades seemed to appear before his eyes again. The scattered eyes gradually condensed. In the depths of his eyes, a touch of heart-wrenching grief could not help but appear. Cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

The veins on his fingers popped out, and his palms seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.
