Chapter 85 The first love

...

"Okay, I'm fine." Liu Qing couldn't help but lit a cigarette again, holding the filter's hand, trembling gently, and tried his best to put on a relaxed and indifferent look: "Where are you?"

"You have changed a lot, and I almost couldn'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. Almost no one could overlap with the boy who was full of vitality and youthfulness in her memory every day. The face that was originally slightly green and tender was now hard and mature like a knife. The bronze skin, with a much rougher appearance, was faintly filled with a sense of vicissitudes. Su Jingxian could not imagine how many things Liu Qing had experienced and how much suffering he suffered in the nine years when the two had separated and had no connection? A layer of sorrow appeared in her heart. If it weren't for the layer of concern and separation in her heart, she wanted to hug him tightly and cry.

Liu Qing unconsciously touched his slightly rough face, took a deep breath of cigarette, shrugged and smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "It's been too long. Maybe you can't remember my appearance anymore."

"Xiao Mei's mother is not your girlfriend, right?" Su Jingxian couldn't understand Liu Qing's words, and a hint of grievance came over her, and her nose was sour. She smiled reluctantly, but did not answer Liu Qing's rhetoric, but suddenly changed the topic.

"Ah? You..." Liu Qing opened his mouth, crossed his legs and exchanged them. He immediately smiled relaxedly and said, "What are you talking about nonsense? I am."

Su Jingxian stared at Liu Qing gently and sighed: "Liu Qing, you are a man who will never learn to lie. He used to be, but now he is?"

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

Su Jingxian stood up and gently filled both of them with teacups. A smile appeared in her clear and soft eyes: "I remember it very clearly since I was five years old. In eleven years, you rolled down the stairs thirteen times, nineteen times accidentally hit the electric pole, and twenty-six times in a bicycle accident. Anyway, according to your explanation, the bruises on your face were not left out of a fight."

Liu Qing was so clear about the embarrassing things that happened back then, even with his face, he couldn't help but turn red. He forced himself to defend himself: "No, uh. Once I really hit a car."

"Is it because I was sick in the third year of junior high school that I was at home to rest, so you climbed the wall and skipped class to see me, but because I was so naive, I wanted to eat tofu. You went home and stole 100 yuan and rode a bike to buy it?" Su Jingxian said, with a faint look of mist in her eyes.

Liu Qing took a breath, looked strange and surprised and said, "How could you remember so clearly?"

"Because that time, it was the only time you told me that you accidentally fell and fought, your eyes were not volatile." Su Jingxian looked at Liu Qing's face quietly.

Liu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turned out that she could not hide anything. She had just not exposed herself before. Fortunately, she kept lying around and thought Su Jingxian was easy to deceive. Her face couldn't help but feel a little hot, "Also, how do you know that I went home to steal money?"

"Liu Qing, have you forgotten. We are neighbors?" Su Jingxian's eyes looked extremely complicated, as if she was unbearable, and slowly closed her eyes: "When you were hung up by Uncle Rifle that day, I could hear clearly on the bed. Every time you were beaten, you would scream like a pig. But that time, you didn't even say a word. I was a little curious. Did you really buy cigarettes for the remaining money that time, just like Uncle Rifle said?"

Liu Qing smiled awkwardly: "I forgot to find money." As he said that, he stuffed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Su Jingxian looked at him gently, looking at his slightly embarrassed and panicked expression. Unconsciously, tears rolled down her cheeks. I forgot to find money... Such a simple sentence made her, who was so thoughtful, unable to control her heart's heart anymore. The clear scene appeared in front of her again. Liu Qing put the tofu flower in the plastic bag into the green-bian bowl and handed the bowl to herself with her left hand. When she was sick, she insisted on him feeding her, she caught a glimpse of the scary scratch in his right palm.

"Liu Qing, do you still hurt?" Su Jingxian couldn't help but grab his hand gently and slowly put it on his slightly scalded cheeks and whirled.

Liu Qing's eyes were blurred. When he opened his mouth to speak, his heart became cold and he pulled his hand back with a faint expression: "Those things have passed a long time ago. I can't remember them anymore."

Su Jingxian was stunned for a moment, but quickly turned her face. She gently wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes with a tissue. She smiled reluctantly and said, "I'm sorry, Liu Qing, if you know my personality..."

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

The two of them became silent again, lowering their heads and silently not speaking.

"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 her hands, and her long eyelashes were slightly shaking: "Are you retired now, or do things in the army?"

"Feed." Liu Qing replied calmly: "It's been a long time ago, it's been six years."

Su Jingxian was not surprised, and a trace of this expression appeared on the corner of her mouth. She smiled faintly and took a sip of tea.

"Why are you laughing?" Liu Qing looked at her strangely, as if she had been fired. She was very happy. But she suddenly realized it and touched her nose and smiled bitterly: "Are you laughing? With my irritable, impulsive and stubborn temper like a cow, it is a miracle to be able to stay in the army for three years, right? Indeed, I brought the chief into the hospital for rescue, and you guessed it."

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

Liu Qing remained silent, and Erlangzi and the dead comrades seemed to appear in front of him again. The dispersed eyes gradually condensed. A touch of heart-wrenching grief appeared deep in his eyes. Cold sweat continued to emerge on his forehead. The blue veins on his fingers burst out, and his palms seemed to tremble uncontrollably.
