MTL - Long Time Loved Friend-Chapter 9 Brave and open

"Look at the scenery, do you know there is a bamboo forest over there?" Yu Mingxia calmly raised his finger and pointed outside the temple wall.

Yun Zhi looked at her and nodded, "Yes, there is a bamboo forest."

Yu Mingxia's meaning is self-evident, she just came to see the bamboo forest.

"I'm done shooting here, so let's go to the inner hall to have a look, and then go to the bamboo forest?"

"it is good."

After discussing the next order, the two planned to leave.

But was suddenly stopped by a little girl.

"Sister, sister, can you take a photo for us?" The little girl has not reached Yunzhi's waist, she has two braids with many colorful hair clips on top, she looks very cute.

Not far away, a pair of parents were standing under a big tree, and when they met her gaze, they waved to her and said hello.

Yun Zhi knew it, squatted down and looked at the little girl at the same level: "Okay, then you wait for sister."

After explaining to the little girl, Yun Zhicai asked Yu Mingxia again: "Waiting for me here?"

"I'm with you." Yu Mingxia replied.

After Yunzhi approached, the parents explained that the reason they were looking for her was to see her holding a camera, so they asked the little girl to ask her for help.

Yun Zhi didn't take it seriously, took the other party's camera, and found a suitable angle to take a few pictures for their family.

Before leaving, the little girl was still sweetly saying thank you to her.

After walking two steps, Yun Zhi raised his eyes to look at Yu Mingxia beside him, seeing her lowered eyes looking at the toe of her shoe, wondering what she was thinking.

Looking back, the family just now hadn't gone far.

Since it is for fun, you should leave a group photo.

"Come with me." Yun Zhi suddenly grabbed Yu Mingxia's wrist.

Although he didn't know what she was going to do, Yu Mingxia followed behind without any resistance.

He heard her call to stop the family just now.

"Can you take a photo for us?" Yun Zhi asked.

The couple did not refuse, but nodded in agreement,

Since he brought a camera, there must be someone in the family who can use a camera, so Yun Zhi adjusted the camera and handed it to the woman.

Until hearing the reminder to make her laugh, Yu Mingxia glanced at Yun Zhi who was standing beside her in a daze.

Unexpectedly, this scene happened to be photographed.

Yu Mingxia regained his senses and smiled at the camera, and took a few more pictures before the other party returned the camera to Yunzhi.

"Tsk, you're peeking at me." Yun Zhi put the photo in front of her eyes, raised her eyebrows and smiled lightly.

Yu Mingxia could hear her tone, whether she was angry, confused or indifferent.

What you just said clearly belongs to the latter.

Yu Mingxia followed her words and said, "I've been discovered."

Yun Zhi put the camera away with a smile, and looked away: "Let's go, go and see the inner hall."

At the end of the day, Yu Mingxia and Yun Zhi walked around the Yunshan Temple, and Yun Zhi took pictures of everything they wanted to shoot.

On the way to the bamboo forest, Yu Mingxia also met Yu Chuxue and Qu Lan.

As if deliberately playing a prank, Yu Chuxue ran over to chat with Yun Zhi while she was away for a while.

[I don't understand, isn't it worth being introduced as your own sister? 】

When Yu Chuxue received this sad news, Yu Mingxia and Yun Zhi were hiding in the gazebo watching the scenery outside the temple, after which they would go down the mountain and go home.

And Yu Chuxue, who sent her this message, was hiding in the gazebo next door to observe the situation of the two of them.

She was really curious why she found this girl familiar, and why Yu Mingxia cared so much about this girl.

While Yunzhi was taking pictures of the scenery, Yu Mingxia returned her message with downcast eyes:

[Not yet. 】

[If she sees you today, I may not be able to get inspiration about the design you want. 】

Yu Chuxue: [Threatening me? 】

"Let's go down the mountain." After taking pictures of the scenery, Yun Zhi put away the camera and got up from the bench in the gazebo.

Yu Mingxia also put away his phone and didn't reply to any messages.

It was approaching evening when we descended the mountain, the sky was full of red clouds, the temperature dropped, and the wind blowing on our faces was also gentle and comfortable.

After the two parted, Yu Mingxia sat on the bench by the side of the road, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for someone to pick her up.

Not long after, a white car stopped in front of her, the driver's window was rolled down, and it was Yu Chuxue who was threatened by her just now.

"Get in the car." Yu Chuxue still remembered her threat just now, but now her tone was not very good.

Yu Mingxia opened his eyes, with a slight smile on his lips, opened the door of the passenger seat, and poked his head in: "Thank you, I'm inspired."

Yu Chuxue: "..."

Qu Lan was sitting in the back seat, and asked, "Ming Xia, who was that girl just now?"

"Friend." Yu Mingxia said concisely.

"You actually have friends that Chuxue doesn't know?" Qu Lan felt the novelty, and asked again, "Then why don't you introduce us to each other?"

Qu Lan can also be regarded as an investor when the company was first established. She usually has a good relationship with Yu Chuxue and has known Yu Mingxia for several years.

So just ask what comes to mind right now.

Yu Chuxue glanced at her, still concerned about what happened just now: "You threatened me just now?"

Yu Mingxia put on his seat belt and answered her: "You heard wrong."

Yu Chuxue is too lazy to argue with her now, so she starts the car, planning to have a good talk with Yu Mingxia after sending Qu Lan home.

half an hour later.

There were only two people left in the car.

Yu Chuxue: "Tell me what's going on."

"You'll know in a few days." Yu Mingxia didn't want to say more, and leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed.

"I've seen her before? Otherwise, why would she look familiar." Yu Chuxue has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she must know the reason to be at ease.

"It means you don't care about what I said." Yu Mingxia opened his eyes, chuckled and clicked his tongue twice, "Why are you such a big sister?"

Yu Chuxue, who was suddenly ridiculed: "?"

"You mentioned her to me?"

Yu Mingxia didn't answer her, but said leisurely: "I hope next time no one will tell me that you are a sister-con."

Yu Mingxia seldom said such things. He was usually quiet and introverted. Occasionally, he would have conflicts with her on work, but he would not talk to her in such a tone that sounded so yin and yang.

The explanation she could think of was—Yu Mingxia was very dissatisfied that she forgot about it.

Yu Chuxue fell into deep thought and didn't reply.

In front of the intersection, the signal light turned from green to red, Yu Chuxue looked at the person beside her and asked:

"So how are you feeling today?"

Time passed by, just when Yu Chuxue thought she would not answer, she heard her reply with a hidden smile:

"Very happy."

When Yun Zhi got into the taxi, he turned on the phone that had already been muted.

Lots and lots of incoming calls and messages appearing on it.

The name that appeared the most was Nan Qiao, with several names of Jiang Yuan'an and Zhu Qingmeng mixed in.

[Knowledge, why didn't you answer my call? I just found out that Nan Qiao let you go again, I don't believe her anymore, I'm sorry. 】

【are you alone? I'm coming to you, it's all my fault. 】

What Yunzhi opened first was Jiang Yuan'an's message, and the screen was full of apologies.

[It's not your problem, don't worry, I'm on my way back now. 】

Yunzhi was bored in the taxi, except to look at the pictures in the camera, which was the news of returning to Jiang Yuan'an.

As for Nan Qiao...

She doesn't really want to be disturbed now.

Yunzhi didn't answer her phone until he arrived at the gate of the community.

"I know, I know, where are you?" Nan Qiao's voice sounded a little coquettish.

It was strange, at first she thought she would be angry when she got on the phone, but now she wasn't as angry as she imagined.

Unable to think of a reason, Yun Zhi attributed it to Yu Mingxia's contribution, after all, she had a very happy time on this trip to Yunshan Temple with her company.

"I'm almost home, what's the matter?"

Yun Zhi's tone was indifferent, neither angry nor unhappy, it stands to reason that Nan Qiao should be lucky, but she felt abnormal.

"I'll wait for you downstairs at your house," Nan Qiao said softly, "Apologize to Zhizhi."

Yun Zhi didn't answer and hung up the phone.

When the busy tone came from the receiver, Nan Qiao looked up and saw Yun Zhi who was walking towards her not far away.

The greening of the community is very good, the leisure and entertainment areas are zoned out, and the roads are lined with green lawns.

Yun Zhi is undoubtedly good-looking, even with the simplest makeup, what is unique about her is her clean and warm temperament.

Nan Qiao can still think of the envious voices of people around her when she was in school, envious of her being able to become good friends with Yun Zhi.

They were all envious of Yunzhi being so kind to her.

Anyone who wants to get close to Yunzhi will first please her.

Because of Yunzhi, her life has become different.

"I know." Nan Qiao walked up to her and called out to her.

"Well," Yun Zhi stopped and replied, "No need to apologize."

What she wanted to say was interrupted by Yun Zhi, Nan Qiao pursed her lips, took a gift box out of her pocket, and opened it.

Inside is a crystal bracelet.

"I just passed by today and saw it, and I think it suits you very well." Nan Qiao explained in a low voice.

"Just passing by," Yun Zhi murmured and repeated this sentence, and asked her back, "So you went to the mall today."

Nan Qiao pursed her lips and explained, "Just passing by."

How much of what was said was true and how much was false, no one except Nan Qiao would know.

Now Yun Zhi couldn't guess what she was thinking.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Nan Qiao raised her hand to lightly touch her wrist, trying to help her put on the bracelet, but saw the red ribbon on her wrist.

Nan Qiao's eyes froze, sensitively aware of where the previous strangeness came from.

"I'm sorry, I missed the appointment today because of something, and I'll let you go to Yunshan Temple alone."

Even though Yun Zhi said there was no need to apologize, Nan Qiao still apologized.

Yun Zhi lowered his eyes to look at her, and said after a while, "There is no one, but I met a friend."

As soon as she said this, Yun Zhi felt that the red ribbon on her wrist was loosened suddenly, and she raised her hand to cover the red ribbon, not letting her untie it.

"Wear a bracelet, this one looks good." Nan Qiao shook the crystal bracelet in his hand, begging all over his eyes.

"Put it on." Nan Qiao coquettishly.

This formation must be worn by her.

"No."

She has a watch in her left hand and a red ribbon in her right hand, neither of which she wants to take apart.

Normally, she would have agreed to Nan Qiao's words, but today she was a little tired and didn't want to get entangled with Nan Qiao.

According to experience, if the current situation continues, today's outcome will not be good.

It will only add fuel to the fire and intensify the previously unresolved contradictions.

Yun Zhi's retreat made Nan Qiao feel strange again.

She cares about the red ribbon.

It is not difficult to guess that this red ribbon was given by the friend she mentioned.

"You just said you met friends? Who, I know all your friends."

"I have quite a lot of friends, you may not know them all." Yun Zhi smiled and answered her.

Nan Qiao bit her lip. Today's Yunzhi is more indifferent than ever before. She is drawing a clear line.

"Are you angry?" The only thing Nan Qiao could think of was that she was talking angry.

On weekdays, Yun Zhi would never say such things to her.

I won't say anything about yours and mine, let alone hide it.

"I'm not angry," Yun Zhi said again, "My problem is that I still believed what you said considering that I would lose my appointment."

"I know." Nan Qiao reached out to hold her arm, unable to believe that such words came out of her mouth.

"You have to bear the consequences when you do everything. Since you believe it, you must be prepared to be betrayed and missed the appointment. Just like I like you, then be prepared to be rejected by you. Occasionally you may be a little wronged, but sometimes What method, I chose it myself, and I don’t feel sorry for myself, at least I am brave and open, and what I pursue is what I think in my heart. What about you? Are you open?”

Occasionally Yun Zhi does feel angry, but this anger does not last long, not because Nan Qiao will coax her, but because she understands that everything is her own choice.

Under Yun Zhi's questioning, Nan Qiao unconsciously let go of her hand, and only murmured her name.

Yun Zhi sighed, she didn't want to attack Nan Qiao, and said after a few seconds: "So, I'm really not angry."

"Forget about this bracelet, I'll go home first."

Nan Qiao hesitated to speak, but Yun Zhi's question was repeated in his ear.

-And you? Are you frank?

Yun Zhi walked to the entrance of the corridor, remembered Nan Qiao's gaze just now, couldn't bear it, and looked back.

Seeing her standing there, her figure was a little lonely.

A football flew in the distance and landed right in front of her.

There was a kid yelling for her to kick the ball over there.

Nan Qiao raised his foot.

She remembered the scene when they played together on the basketball court in high school.

At that time, she felt that Nan Qiao should always smile brightly and freely.

Yun Zhi turned his head and left before the memories of his youth fully emerged in his mind.
