Butterflies Fly Over Winter Chapter 66

Chapter 66 I love you too

At this moment, Xi Ai looked at the flowers and was stunned for a long time. When she spoke, her voice was a little hoarse: “Thank you.”

Chu Yiqi didn’t say much, just nodded, got out of the way, and said, “Let’s go back.”

The two of them didn’t talk much along the way, but when they arrived at the underground garage, they were neither in a hurry to get out of the car. Xi Ai was looking at her phone, and Chu Yiqi turned his head and looked at Xi Ai in the slightly dim light.

After a long time, when Xi Ai raised her eyes to look at her, Chu Yiqi leaned forward with his hands on the backrest and kissed Xi Ai’s lips.

She tasted the smell of alcohol on Xi Ai’s breath.

A little bitter, a little astringent.To be honest, it doesn’t taste very good.

When the smell of red wine invaded his consciousness, there was a moment when Chu Yiqi wanted to say, “I love you.”

But for some reason, these three words were too heavy for Chu Yiqi.

For someone who has only experienced being loved by a few people, it is unfamiliar and difficult to speak.

After trying to speak once and being blocked, I didn’t dare to act rashly.

So in the end, even though she opened her mouth several times, she couldn’t say anything.

“You’ve been drinking.” Chu Yiqi turned off the car lights early, so his voice became particularly sensitive in the haze.

Xi Ai never responded to Chu Yiqi’s kiss, nor did she naturally take the initiative like she did a long time ago.

After Chu Yiqi finished asking, it took a while before she said, “Well, half a cup, just to refresh myself.”

Chu Yi hoped to step aside, lowered his head and unbuckled Xi Ai’s seat belt, and said, “Yes.”

When they returned, Chu Yiqi had prepared the dishes early, but they just needed to be heated up.

So while waiting for the food, Xi Ai silently observed Chu Yiqi’s fingers – there were no injuries.

Xi Ai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Chu Yiqi said: “I made some of your favorite dishes, but I’m not sure if they taste right.”

Xi Ai said: “It’s okay. Thank you.”

Chu Yiqi shook her head. In fact, she knew very well that the taste was right.

There was a time when I just went abroad.She especially likes spicy food.It’s not that her taste has really changed, it’s just that she always remembers that no matter which one she is, there was once such a person who was very, very important to her, and this person liked spicy food.

After trying again and again, her control over spiciness was quite similar to Xi Ai’s.

So although I still can’t eat spicy food very much in the end, I still developed a habit of always subconsciously adding a little spicy food every time I cook. Even if my eyes turn red at the end, I will still finish it slowly.

The meal was quite silent, and Chu Yiqi put the non-spicy dishes on her side – since she came back, maybe someone has always remembered that she has been avoiding spicy food since the first hot pot meal. It seems that those habits have faded away unconsciously, and it was only when she was cooking today that she realized that they were still familiar.

“Are you busy tomorrow?”

“Well, there are a lot of things happening at the end of the year. What’s wrong?”

“It’s okay, just ask.”

Xi Ai actually wanted to ask something, such as “What do you want to say?”, but she felt that she couldn’t find a suitable tone, so she nodded and continued eating.

For the next few days, Xi Ai went to work step by step and went to work on time, but usually it was only half a day, and she was at home the rest of the time.

They didn’t speak much either, maybe one didn’t speak on purpose, and the other didn’t dare to speak.

Chu Yiqi still went to pick up Xi Ai every day. Since Xi Ai’s driver didn’t pick up the person on the first day, he took a vacation directly.

It is still a bouquet of eternal flowers that can be seen every day, but it is not as grand as the first day.

——Xi Ai prefers to call this “grand”.

I don’t know what day it was, but when Xi Ai got off work, she saw someone other than Chu Yiqi.

Wang Qi.

Xi Ai could at least exchange a few words with him at first, but later found that his personality was too paranoid and self-righteous, so she gradually became estranged and rarely spoke except for cooperation.

When Xi Ai passed by, there was a hint of annoyance on her face that she didn’t even notice, making Chu Yiqi feel a little at a loss.

Xi Ai glanced at him, and after he left, she asked as if unintentionally: “Who is he?”

“Oh, let’s call him Wang Qi, you may know him.”

Xi Ai did not continue to ask, but she quickly realized that Chu Yiqi was not in a good mood during the time they got together, and his current state was a little strange.

The next day, Xi Ai did not go to the company.

There was a party, and Wang Qi was also there.

While they were toasting, Xi Ai asked him, “What did you say to him?”

Xi Ai didn’t bother to pave the way and asked directly.

Wang Qi was obviously stunned, but then he reacted with a frank look: “Her. Xi Ai, you are not suitable. No matter your family background, background, experience… you are not suitable. I just want her to understand clearly.”

Xi Ai suddenly remembered that a long time ago, Chu Yiqi was actually very talented in music, and his skills had always been very good. Starting from the appreciation of his teacher, the resources and response had always been good.

But no matter how much I tried to persuade him, I was still working day and night.

Even later, after their relationship was discovered by the other four people in the group, they decided to go out to live openly, and the two of them had a “quarrel” over the house.

Xi Ai thought that if she had a property in her name, she could live there directly, but Chu Yiqi bought a new one with her, paying half of it each.

In the past, Xi Ai always thought it was due to Chu Yiqi’s personality, including later when she insisted on going abroad.

Daqing is the trigger for many people.

Xi Ai pursed her lips. It seemed that if she hadn’t taken into account the cooperation between the two families, and because her upbringing prevented her from hitting people in the face, she would have taken action directly.

Her voice was cold as she said, “No matter what happens between me and her, it won’t be anyone else’s turn to interfere. What era is it, what family background is it…”

“No matter what she says, she is better than you.”

Xi Ai didn’t give him a chance to speak again. She lowered her voice slightly and raised the corners of her mouth. She clearly looked at Yun Danfengqing, but always felt a sense of oppression: “Besides, I love her, so you should read it carefully, or out of sight, out of mind, use these methods to hinder her, what a shame.”

Someone in the game noticed their undercurrent, but after all, the Xi family was so powerful that no one was willing to offend Xi Ai.

Wang Qi was slightly startled, but said: “Xi Ai, because of her that year, you were even willing to go to such great lengths to drag so many people down, didn’t she still leave?”

“Look, it doesn’t seem worth it.”

Xi Ai didn’t have any special reaction. She got up and went out for some fresh air. Before leaving, she said, “That has nothing to do with you.”

Xi Ai went home directly.

Go to Chu for hope.

Xi Ai originally planned to just say it, but when she opened the door, she saw Chu Yiqi sitting on the sofa hugging his knees and looking at her a little at a loss.

Xi Ai’s heart felt a little astringent for no reason. She heard Chu Yiqi ask her: “Do you really hate me?”

Xi Ai calmed down, resisted the idea of hugging Chu Yiqi and then directly denying it, and deliberately said: “Chu Yiqi, I have a question.”

“From the beginning, you said you wanted to see me, and I came back. Then you said you wanted to break up, and I listened to you. You didn’t explicitly say that you wanted to handle your affairs by yourself, so I just went along with it and didn’t interfere.”

“Following on, you emphasized the established fact that we broke up over and over again, and wanted to wait until everything was resolved before talking about it. I thought it was not contradictory, but you said, wait a little longer.”

Xi Ai’s voice was a little shaky, so she paused for a moment, exhaled, and continued: “So I listened, and tried to get along with you as a friend, keeping the distance that should be maintained, but…”

“Why are you still unhappy?”

“Chu Yiqi, what exactly do you want me to do, and what do you want us to become? Can I hear the truth now?”

When Xi Ai mentioned Chu Yiqi’s name, her voice was much softer, like a whisper between lovers, affectionate and indulgent.

“But I don’t want us to be just friends.”

“I want you to love me.”

Xi Ai looked at her, took two steps forward, and sighed softly: “But it’s you who wants to push me away every time.”

“I just…”

I just hope that one day you and I will be side by side, perfectly matched in the light and shadow.

I want to get rid of all resistance and then hold you.

Her lover planned everything, avoiding all risks and concerns that might come from her side to love her, like a butterfly shining with stars.

So she didn’t want to be the one being saved, but the other one who immediately ran away after breaking out of the cocoon.

Chu Yiqi’s words rolled around his mouth for a few times. Finally, Chu Yiqi felt a little disappointed. He lowered his head and blinked. Finally, he looked at Xi Ai and said feebly: “I’m sorry. Then… let me tell you the truth from last time first, although it’s a little late.”

“I love you, from beginning to end.”

After Chu Yiqi finished speaking, he lowered his eyes as if to avoid it, and finished the second half of the sentence: “Actually, the reason why I have to leave is not only for medical treatment, but also… I feel…”

Xi Ai knew that Chu Yiqi had not finished half of the sentence.Always known.

At that time, she didn’t want to drag Xi Ai down, and felt that she was not worthy of her, despite explicit hints from different people time and time again.

Xi Ai interrupted Chu Yiqi and said, “To be fair, I’ll go back to your original question. I don’t hate it. I never have.”

She sat down gently, put her arm around Chu Yiqi’s shoulders, patted her gently, and said, “You didn’t do anything wrong.”

Xi Ai smoothed Chu Yiqi’s hair, but suddenly realized that Chu Yiqi didn’t seem to be in good condition. Xi Ai quickly lowered her head to look, and found that there was a tiny light shining in Chu Yiqi’s eyes.

She looked up at Xi Ai with red eyes.

“Oh, why are you still crying…” Xi Ai took out a wet wipe and slowly wiped Chu Yiqi’s tears, but Chu Yiqi suddenly approached her.

It was a kiss that smelled like fruit wine.

Xi Ai was stunned for a moment, then took over the initiative of the kiss. A moment later, Chu Yiqi hooked the back of her neck and was about to come over to kiss her, but was stopped because Xi Ai grabbed her wrist.

Chu Yiqi blinked, feeling a little at a loss and embarrassed about being caught.

Xi Ai pursed her lips and suppressed a smile, speaking in intertwined breaths. Maybe the distance was too close, and she would inevitably bump into each other even when speaking.

“Chu Yiqi, is this considered a proposal?”

“It doesn’t count.” Chu Yiqi kissed Xi Ai again.

“Why?”

“It’s too hasty and not worthy of you.” Chu Yiqi said and opened the box.

It’s not a ring, it’s a necklace with a butterfly embedded with pink diamonds.

“If my answer is the opposite from today, wouldn’t you be able to send it out?”

Chu Yiqi actually had this plan before Xi Ai came back and before she really told her answer.But when Xi Ai asked it at this time, she still felt scared and panicked.

“Then I’ll keep it for myself.”

As Chu Yiqi spoke, he saw the smile that was always on Xi Ai’s lips, kissed her, and said, “Don’t laugh.”

“Yeah.”

Xi Ai sat down and straightened Chu Yiqi’s slightly messy hair.His hand went around Chu Yiqi’s back but held Chu Yiqi’s left hand.

At first she just hooked her fingers, but then Xi Ai held Chu Yiqi’s wrist and gently rubbed the scar on Chu Yiqi’s wrist.

“Does it hurt?”

Chu Yiqi originally wanted to take back his hand, but somehow he still let Xi Ai pull him, and she said, “No.”

Maybe a little bit at that time.

There was a period of time when her mood was particularly unstable, and these scars were left from that time.

But every time she made a move, she always remembered that there was such a person who might be waiting for her to go back. Even if she didn’t wait, she still wanted to go back and see her again.

After a while, Xi Ai switched to French and said: “I love you.”

Chu Yiqi said unexpectedly: “I understand.”

The author has something to say:

Let’s be together like this before the New Year.

1722 will be happy in the new year
