Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 34
byChapter 34 Playing the role of deep love
Chu Yiqi took half a step forward, but hesitated.Fortunately, Xi Ai walked up to her, hugged her gently, and said, “The place I went to today was a little out of the way and I couldn’t find a flower shop, but I came back to ask for a few flowers. Let’s make do with it.”
Xi Ai was very familiar with the layout of this room, so she found a vase and inserted it so casually that it looked like it was carefully designed.
Chu Yiqi said: “Thank you.”
The person by the window stood up, wearing a blue and pink cloak, which looked like the warm spring had arrived early, which was particularly incompatible with the cold winter.
Chu Yiqi was actually so beautiful that people always joked during the filming: “If Yiqi is so good-looking, I will recognize her even if her acting skills are not good.”
Xi Ai always felt proud, and then said with a smile: “Of course, doesn’t anyone think that Teacher Chu is particularly beautiful every time she stands on the stage?”
Unlike Xi Ai who is so bright and beautiful, Chu Yiqi’s beauty is always more subtle and bookish, like the beauties in ancient paintings.
So Xi Ai still had a great impression of Chu when she first saw him, but suddenly she saw the caution and pessimism that she didn’t understand at the time in a self-introduction video, so the good impression was washed away and became dull.
But every time Chu Yiqi was in the practice room or on the stage, she was always overly confident, as if this was her birthplace.However, this person’s temperament will never be overtly arrogant, and will always be gentle and gentle – except for a few times when the stage effect requires it.
Xi Ai hugged Chu Yiqi and asked her, “What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”
“No.” Chu Yiqi paused and then said, “Not entirely.”
She kissed the corner of Xi Ai’s mouth. It wasn’t even a kiss. Before the break was broken, Xi Ai pressed the back of Chu Yiqi’s neck.
Xi Ai approached Chu Yiqi very gently and slowly, and smelled the fragrance of flowers.Then, when there was only a few seconds left, he raised his eyes and asked, “Perhaps you would like to kiss me before we talk?”
Chu Yiqi later felt that Xi Ai had actually guessed what she was going to say.
The distance was very close, and they would inevitably kiss each other as soon as they opened their mouths, so Chu Yi hoped to make the right mistake and took half a step forward to kiss Xi Ai.
Like two lunatics, sober yet depraved, knowing the end of the game but still wanting to embrace and kiss each other until the last moment.
They weren’t all good people to begin with.
In fact, even Xi Ai’s friends said from the beginning, be careful with Xi Ai, Xi Ai is not a good person.
The eldest lady who grew up in a sensual and sensual dog is a rare and affectionate person, but she is too rational.
Chu Yiqi had saved up his courage for a long time and finally said: “Xi Ai, let’s break up, okay?”
But Chu Yiqi overestimated Xi Ai this time.
Xi Ai felt stunned. After a long while, she loosened Chu Yiqi’s hand and stepped back half a step.
She suddenly felt ridiculous. It was clear that this person was pretending to be affectionate one moment, but the next moment he wanted to ask a non-questionable answer, and even added a “good or not”, as if the choice really was hers.
“Can I hear why?” Xi Ai’s tone was too gentle. Logically speaking, she should be angry and aggrieved, but she just waited patiently for Chu Yiqi’s answer.
Because we are not suitable, my dear, they all said that, and I suddenly felt that it was right, at least I am not suitable now.
Look, didn’t I hurt you two days ago because of another me?
Chu Yiqi couldn’t tell her. She felt that no matter what she said, it would be unfair to Xi Ai.After choking for a long time, she lowered her eyes, her gaze fell on Xi Ai’s ring, and she said, “Honey, I’m a little tired.”
Xi Ai didn’t reply. She actually knew the reason. It was because of the constant pressure and oppression from her parents, because of the series of black posts and rumors that followed the last time she came out of the castle, and because of the other self that was created due to self-protection after being suppressed for a long time…
Xi Ai breathed out. She had always known that Chu Yiqi only looked cautious, but deep down he was extremely arrogant and could not accept himself like this.
This made her feel that there was sympathy between them.
No matter which reason it was, Xi Ai could come up with a way to talk, but if she put it into perspective, she couldn’t even convince herself.
Xi Ai calmly hid the hand that had not yet taken off the gauze behind her back and asked, “Then what are your plans?”
“I want to go abroad.”
“What day?”
“The day after tomorrow.” Chu Yiqi felt guilty and worried about Xi Ai’s reaction.
Xi Ai sat down and calmed down. She twitched her lips and said, “So you see, Chu Yiqi, if you want to make any decision, I can’t interfere with you.”
Chu Yiqi instinctively stepped forward, but then stopped. She suddenly remembered that someone had said that someone with Xi Ai’s temperament should be cut off cleanly. The two siblings had one problem – they were extremely affectionate.
Chu Yiqi stood there, tears falling one by one.
Xi Ai raised her hand, wiped her tears, and handed Chu Yiqi a pack of tissues.
“Are you coming then?”
Xi Ai didn’t raise her head and said, “Forget it, I guess I won’t be able to handle it all.”
In fact, on this day, Xi Ai has already prepared gifts, both New Year’s gifts and birthday gifts.
But she didn’t want to tell Chu Yiqi, not even in the future.
Xi Ai thought about it for a while and felt that Chu Yiqi’s decision might be a good one and would be good for everyone.
If Chu Yiqi needs some time to heal, then Xi Ai will wait.
But why, the tears just can’t stop.
Chu Yiqi turned his back to Xi Ai, and it took him a long time to say a word: “Good night, Xi Ai.”
“Have a good dream, I’ll book a ticket to go back later.”
Chu Yiqi watched Xi Ai leave, and finally sat down, lying on the table, playing with the flowers Xi Ai had given her.
“Do you think she was very busy today? Her feet are all red, but I specifically asked her to break up.”
“Have a nice dream, but who can sleep today?”
“But will she be busy tomorrow too?”
“I’m so bad.”
“Will she be as cold as the first time when we meet next time?”
But Sakura is not a flower that understands words, so she can only listen quietly to Chu Yiqi’s murmurings.
Perhaps, if Hua could understand Xi Ai’s meaning, he would have an answer.
——I’m not very busy. I have time to see you.
——If you can’t sleep, then look out the window, you might see me.
——There should be a little bit, but what difference does it make whether you are busy or not now?
– No, you’re fine, honey, it’s not your fault, it never was.
——I don’t know, but I kind of hate you now, but if you hug me, it should be fine.
Chu Yiqi, I agree to every word you say. Why aren’t you happy? Be happy.
Xi Ai didn’t leave, nor was she in a hurry to book a ticket. She actually had work to arrange tomorrow afternoon, so she found a tavern by the river to sit.
The heating in the room was a bit high, so Xi Ai went to mix a glass of wine by herself and sipped it bit by bit.
Xi Yuchuan was jet lag, so he was surprised to find that his workaholic sister was still online.
[Don’t stay up, Dad, it’s scary to be on camera.]
[How about I fly back to help you? I don’t have any classes recently.]
Xi Ai glanced at the screen, took her hands off the keyboard, and replied to Xi Yuchuan with one word: [Shh——]
Xi Yuchuan had no choice but to dial a group voice call among a few people: “Who can explain to me, what happened to Da Xi?”
Nadia was arranging flowers for coffee, and when she heard this she said, “The conflict is a bit big, so she wants me to help her look at the house.”
“Huh?”
Xuanyuan Yue rarely stayed up late one day to paint, so she rarely saw her after ten o’clock. She said: “I seem to know, I hope I will go to the Royal Art Institute, and the tutor will be Anila.”
I don’t know if it’s fate or intentional.
“That won’t work. Let’s give the banquet a bottle of Rose Manor’s new blue bottom.”
“Are you crazy?”
“You don’t understand. Every time I’m unhappy, I start to improve the performance of Rose Manor.”
“Okay, Shiny has a hand to share. I don’t know what some people who are afraid of society and those who dare not talk to their crush are listening to.”
“…”
Very good, the trick of killing two birds with one stone is played very skillfully.
The discussion ended, and several people arranged a heartfelt condolence session for Xi Ai and Chu Yiqi.
Xi Ai sat for a while, packed up her notebook, strolled to the 24-hour pharmacy to get a bottle of eye drops, and took out a box of candy from her bag.At that time, Chu Yiqi and I went to the orphanage the day before yesterday, and a child gave it to them.
Xi Ai saw that the lights were not turned off downstairs, so she called Chu Yiqi and made a good excuse.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Yiqi’s voice was a little different, but it could be treated as if he hadn’t slept well.
Xi Ai breathed a sigh of relief and asked her: “Which one are you now?”
“Normal me.”
I feel a little regretful, I miss you very much.
“Chu Yiqi, I left something with you.”
“Why don’t you come up?”
Xi Ai tried to figure out her tone, making it unclear whether it was coquettishness or genuineness, or a casual complaint. She said, “Chu Yiqi, but I feel so uncomfortable that I can’t walk even one step.”
Chu Yiqi looked downstairs, and Xi Ai happened to raise her eyes. Through the fine snow, the two sides seemed a little blurry, and they were both covered with a layer of disguise called free and easy and brave, which could be broken with a single poke.
After a moment of silence, Chu Yiqi looked at Xi Ai, and his voice dispersed in the snow and reappeared in Xi Ai’s ears.
“What to take?”
“A freshly broken winter cherry blossom.”
Unreasonable, but reasonable.
Chu Yiqi smiled softly and said, “Okay.”
She got the medicine for Xi Ai, then picked out the most beautiful one and held it in her hand.
The two of them exchanged items, but looked at each other like an inhumane child, and their speech was clumsy.
“You probably didn’t bring that eye drop. Just use it. Your eyes won’t hurt so much tomorrow.”
Chu Yiqi nodded, and then said: “As for the medicine, you can rub it in after applying it. At least it won’t be too painful to wear high heels for so many things tomorrow.”
There was silence for a while, and finally Xi Ai sighed. The white air blurred her vision and dispersed into the long wind: “Happy New Year.”
“Happy New Year, Xi Ai.”
The day Chu Yiqi left happened to be a sunny day.
He deliberately delayed until the last minute, but still didn’t get to see the person he wanted to see.
He really does what he says.
But Chu Yiqi didn’t notice that Xi Ai was standing on the covered bridge. When Chu Yiqi completely disappeared from sight, she finally moved and was willing to leave. She selfishly left a photo for herself. Her goose-yellow down jacket was a ball of morning light in the distance.
Chu Yiqi’s eyes fell over again and again, but they were always blocked by Xi Ai and staggered away.
A grand and unconscious confrontation ended.
Then it happened many times over the next two years, without realizing it.
When leaving, Xi Ai turned around and saw Shi Yunshan, who had been waiting for a long time with his arms folded.
Xi Ai smiled bitterly and said, “Why did you see me?”
“I guessed you would come.” Shi Yunshan didn’t mention anything else and just asked her, “Are you leaving?”
“Where’s Chuiying?”
“Going to buy Kaifeng vegetables.”
…

Goodbye, really, it’s okay to say goodbye.
“What’s wrong, Teacher Chu?”
Chu Yiqi came back to his senses, smiled and said, “It’s okay, I was a little distracted for a moment.”
“Indeed, I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Xi Ai finally had a flash of inspiration and realized the “money” in the wine cabinet.It was quite funny when I actually discovered it.
Shi Yunshan stood on the side and smiled: “Mr. Xiao Xi, are you actually a coffee drinker?”
Xi Ai looked at her resentfully: “Actually, you hid it, right?”
“Who knows, what if it’s Teacher Chu.”
“It’s already three o’clock when I finish my work. Sister Linna is not so wicked as to wake people up after three o’clock.”
“Then you are even more suspicious.”
“Who knows if you got up early and started pretending again?”
Chu Yiqi had rested in the living room early in the morning. After listening to the whole process, he was quite amused.
Chu Yiqi also joined in: “Didn’t Lina say yesterday that you were a suitable villain?”
