There Are Always Teachers Who Want To Ask Out Parents

Chapter 85: Good Dreams

The light shrouded Jiang Yu's shadow and casted it on the carpet. Half of her face was hidden in the darkness, and she smiled naturally.

After a brief "confrontation" just now, Lu Zhiqiao first thought that this person was Yan Yan's first love, which inevitably made her uncomfortable. However, she soon realized that she represented the company, and they are in a cooperative relationship, so it was not good to be cold-hearted.

Putting aside the identity of "first love", Jiang Yu is an excellent supermodel with strong business ability, knowledgeable in operation and design, sociable, and an ideal team leader. She admires and appreciates such a person from the bottom of her heart, and she is unwilling to make enemies with her.

After thinking about it, she smiled lightly and declined, "Ms. Jiang is tired after a busy day, it's better to rest early."

After speaking, she walked towards her room.

"Don't you want to know about Yan Yan's past?" Jiang Yu curved her mouth and calmly asked.

Lu Zhiqiao paused.

Her curiosity was immediately aroused, ready to move, scratching like a cat's paw, itching every now and then. But subconsciously, she felt that by doing so, would hurt Qi Yan. She wanted to know but had to restrain herself, so she fiercely struggled in her heart.

Shoes stepped on the carpet without a sound.

"I'm not here to declare war on you." Jiang Yu walked to her side, "Besides, during non-working hours, you are not a sponsor, and I am not a brand owner."

The voice was soft and seductive.

Tempting about Yan Yan.

Lu Zhiqiao is a person who can't resist temptation. She knows that she shouldn't get news from her old lover, and she also knows that it's wrong to dig someone's past behind her back. She knows it all. But what? The more you restrain your thoughts, the more they will grow wildly. As long as it is about Qi Yan, it can make her lose her mind.

She slowly retracted her hand stretched towards the door, and looked sideways at Jiang Yu, her eyes getting darker.

"Let's go, find a place to talk." Jiang Yu raised her lips and walked straight to the elevator.

Lu Zhiqiao followed.

The two went out of the hotel gate, turned left, walked along the path for about two or three minutes, and came to the beach.

The night is silent, the sky is as black as ink, the porcelain white full moon hangs high, tents of all sizes are scattered on the beach, and the lights are sparkling. The waves beat the wet and soft sand, taking away the smell left by the sun during the day. Occasionally, a few tourists stroll along the tide line leisurely.

Lu Zhiqiao walked inside, and Jiang Yu walked outside, walking side by side, one of them was too tall, making the other a little short.

After walking for a few minutes, no one spoke.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu stopped and looked at her with a smile: "You are really patient."

"I'm giving you time to prepare." Lu Zhiqiao said empathetically.

"I've prepared."

"Mm."

"But don't worry." Jiang Yu shook her head, following the faint light on the bank to look at her, "To be honest, I thought at first that you have a one-sided crush on Yan Yan."

"How so?"

"During the dinner party, you looked at her twenty-three times in total."

"..."

"But your emotions are too well hidden, I didn't think about 'you might know each other', even during that time when I saw you in the restroom." Jiang Yu continued to stride forward with her long legs.

Lu Zhiqiao froze, lowered her eyes and glanced at the soft sand under her feet, and said softly: "This is a work place after all."

The waves came up and almost kissed her shoes.

She moved slightly to the side.

"Yan Yan still hasn't changed..." Jiang Yu suddenly sighed, her stern face suddenly softened.

"Huh?"

"Her eye for people has always been high, and it hasn't changed."

These words were very cryptic, not only expressing appreciation for Lu Zhiqiao, but also praising herself, and even a hint of pride in the familiar tone. She doesn't know if it's to show off that she knows Qi Yan, or to imply something else.

In just a few seconds, Lu Zhiqiao thought a lot, so she didn't answer.

Jiang Yu stopped again, turned her head and smiled at her: "How did you know each other?"

"That is private." Lu Zhiqiao said, "You haven't fulfilled your promise yet."

"You can skip the part that belongs to Yan Yan, and only talk about the part that belongs to you in the past. This exchange is very fair."

"..."

The salty sea breeze rushed over, Lu Zhiqiao brushed her disheveled hair, and looked away.

The coastline not far away is hidden in the night, with blurred outlines, and a little closer are the dots of lights in the city, converging into a belt of light and extending to the other end of the island.

There is only the sound of wind and waves in their ears.

"I don't want to do this kind of deal." Lu Zhiqiao whispered, "Let's go back." She turned around and wanted to go back.

Jiang Yu seemed to have expected her to react like this, so she didn't move, her expression was calm, and a faint voice came out of her thin lips: "When I met her, she was still studying, very young, and very passionate…"

Lu Zhiqiao froze, and retreated abruptly.

Jiang Yu and Qi Yan met at a show, and the Qi family was the sponsor. At that time, Qi Yan was nineteen years old and was studying at Jiangcheng Normal University, while Jiang Yu was twenty-five years old, already well-known and had a bright future.

At that time, the models were doing makeup and styling backstage. Qi Yan sneaked in by virtue of her connection and chatted with everyone. She obviously didn't know anyone, but she was the only one who made the atmosphere alive. Even Jiang Yu, a quiet person, couldn't resist and just keep looking at her twice.

Tall, with a cool face, clear and penetrating eyes, waist-length hair, a vigorous aura exuding from the corners of the eyes and brows, like a fire.

Fresh and hot fire.

Throughout the show, Qi Yan stood beside the main photographer, looking at the camera for a while then looking at the runway, and smiling at each model.

At the moment of fixed-pointing for a second or two, Jiang Yu didn't smile originally, but was infected by Qi Yan, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, so the photo of wanting to smile without smiling became a "classic" in her modeling career.

Most of her peers like gentle sisters, but Jiang Yu likes fresh and energetic younger sisters. She remembered Qi Yan who was as passionate as fire, and Qi Yan also remembered her as sexy and rebellious.

Their passion collided and made an easy spark.

They were attracted to each other and had a common language. They quickly got together and their feelings grew stronger. When they were passionately in love, they were like honey.

But passion comes and goes quickly.

Jiang Yu is career-minded, more realistic, and likes the feeling that everything is in her own hands, while Qi Yan is free and undisciplined, she does whatever she wants, and hates being restricted and restrained the most. When the passion was exhausted, their respective problems were gradually exposed.

It only took two years to go from passionate love to mediocrity, and in the remaining two years, they kept breaking up and making up.

They seem to be reconciled and want to work hard to return to the state when they were in love, but they always have differences because of various problems, and no one is willing to give in easily. In the end, it was ten days and a half after they separated, their feelings were completely exhausted.

Later Qi Yan asked her to come out.

At that time, Jiang Yu's career was on the rise, and her relationship was flat and hopeless. She naturally devoted more energy to her work. Qi Yan argued with her dozens of times because of coming out of the closet. Finally, she broke out and offered to  separate.

On the second day after the breakup, the two went back to their respective homes and cut off all contact. Their separation lasted five years.

"Yan Yan used to listen to me very much. I told her not to make trouble and she didn't make trouble, but her nature isn't like that. She just suppressed herself to accommodate me. So from the beginning, we were doomed to be incompatible."

"Of course, it was a long time before I figured it out."

Jiang Yu sighed softly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and continued walking against the sea breeze. Her long hair was blown, and her shadow was swallowed by the night.

Lu Zhiqiao unconsciously followed her.

They walked side by side, stepped into the wet sand area, and the waves flooded up and instantly submerged their feet, and their high heels were soaked.

The sea water is a little warm.

After the tide receded, the wind blew and it was a little cool, and when the next wave came, it became warm again. Warm and cool alternately, just like their mood at the moment.

Lu Zhiqiao looked at the tall and handsome woman's back, felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "So do you want to get her back?"

Jiang Yu didn't answer, she stopped and let the waves caress her feet.

"I think." She said softly.

Lu Zhiqiao's heart hangs.

Suddenly, Jiang Yu slowly turned around and walked out of the shadow, "But after seeing you, I don't want to do it anymore."

She stared at Lu Zhiqiao with a variety of emotions in her eyes, including openness, joy, and relief.

Over the years, she searched and searched, found many women who were similar to Qi Yan, and took them as Qi Yan. But how can there be two identical people in the world? Qi Yan is Qi Yan and cannot be copied. After she realized this, she thought she couldn't let it go.

Finally when she saw Qi Yan again, her first feeling was strange.

She also thought that they hadn't seen each other for many years, people always change, and it was inevitable that they would be unfamiliar. So she thought about taking her time, looking for opportunities bit by bit, and getting closer slowly.

However, Lu Zhiqiao's appearance completely pulled her out of the fog.

Just outside the room, she thought for a long time.

"Yan Yan has matured." Jiang Yu said with a smile, "But what I miss is her 'youth'."

After growing up, Qi Yan is no longer a passionate flame, no longer recklessly wielding emotions. Those things that were once given to her are all left in memories with time. And the things that were not given to her now belong to someone else. No matter how restrained it is on the surface, that feeling will flow from her eyes, and it cannot deceive anyone.

She is Jiang Yu, she doesn't bother to fight with others.

Another wave came, this time it was a little fiercer, directly touching their ankles, and the water seemed to have cooled down a bit.

Jiang Yu raised her hand and took off the ring on her ring finger. The ruby ​​seemed to be flowing with blood, which was unique and magnificent. It was given to her by Qi Yan from her "youth".

She stared at it for a moment, then throws her arms up.

The ring sank into the sea without a sound…

….

In the middle of the night, Lu Zhiqiao had a nightmare.

The moment she woke up, she opened her eyes, looking at the darkness, and habitually stretched out her hand to clap twice, but no light turned on. She was stunned for a while, and then suddenly remembered that she is not in her bedroom at home, she regained her composure, and felt a strong sense of loss in her heart.

After lying down for a while, her body was sweating and felt uncomfortable. She got up and turned on the lamp, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and came back to sit, unable to feel sleepy.

She glanced at her phone and saw it's one o'clock in the morning.

She turned on the music software, played the song "Let Her Land", subconsciously logged into WeChat again, inadvertently saw the head of the orange cat at the top, was taken aback, and quickly clicked in.

It was Qi Yan's post around twelve o'clock.

Share a song: "Let Her Land"

Did they have a tacit understanding?

The corners of Lu Zhiqiao's mouth curled up, before she could be happy about the tacit understanding between the two, she suddenly realized something, tap the head of the orange cat, entered Qi Yan's Moments, and found that the original cold horizontal line disappeared, and the content-rich dynamics in the past reappeared before her eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

She took a deep breath, relieved.

Yan Yan unrestricted her.

During the days when she was restricted, Qi Yan posted a lot, mostly sharing small things in life and photos.  As if Lu Zhiqiao had found a treasure, she pulled out of the shield in one breath, and her empty heart was instantly filled to the brim.

The light at the bedside shone softly on her phone screen, and the singing reached its climax, eliciting surging emotions in her heart.

From the beginning to the end, Yan Yan was thinking about her and their future, meticulously and thoughtfully, thinking about everything she could think of, and everything she couldn't think of. Tonight she really felt at ease, she felt that Yan Yan is as reliable and worthwhile as she thought, she didn't misjudged the person and her heart didn't confused her for anyone.

But she has been pressing every step of the way, without giving the other party time to breathe.

 ——You broke someone’s heart, and you asked her to pick up the broken pieces, picking up pieces patiently, like children playing a jigsaw puzzle, maybe even after ten or eight years, they can’t complete the puzzle.

*an excerpt from Heart Sutra by Eileen Chang (Zhang Ailing)

Lu Zhiqiao suddenly remembered this sentence, and tears came down.

The song is over.

She changed it to a single loop, wiped away her tears, gave Qi Yan a 'like' with shaking fingers, and commented "Good night".

That woman should be asleep.

Lu Zhiqiao took out a tissue and wiped her nose, put the phone aside, turned off the lights and lay down.

Suddenly, the screen lit up.

The bright light in the dark is very dazzling.

She quickly picked it up again.  It turned out to be a voice message.

[Good night]

Then posted another:

[Good dreams]
