Don’t be a licking dog when you are reborn.

A bar in the imperial capital.

Apart from anything else, Jiang Chaoyang, an old overseas Chinese, has pretty good taste.

At this point in time, ZZZQ and LGBT have not yet become rampant abroad. Although there are many biased and extreme remarks about overseas Chinese, at least they are directed at normal people.

"When is the flight?" Jiang Chaoyang asked casually, shaking his wine glass.

"Tomorrow morning, otherwise I won't have the time to come out and drink with you." Ji Feng was in a similar state.

After being busy for so long, I finally have time to relax and relieve my tense nerves today.

Ji Feng lazily leaned on the sofa in the booth, listening to the soothing saxophone and soft singing in this small bar, his thoughts drifting away.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, you do have good taste in music."

"You don't think bars are places that rack your brains, do you? These adult bars are very relaxing." Jiang Chaoyang had a look of disdain on his face and showed off his superiority in front of Ji Feng.

But Ji Feng didn't buy it at all. Instead, he nodded calmly and admitted it directly.

"Well, I rarely come to this kind of small bar with a soothing environment. Well, not rarely, but I have never been here."

Seeing that Ji Feng had no intention of arguing with him, Jiang Chaoyang felt a little bored. He simply restrained his expression, picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip:

"Have you gone to see Aunt Shen?"

"went."

"What do you think of Mu Wanqiu?"

Ji Feng looked at Jiang Chaoyang strangely, not quite understanding what he meant:

"How about what?"

"I went there yesterday, and I felt that she had changed a lot. Although people are expected to change after a big change in their family, I always felt that she had changed too much."

"It's quite big."

Jiang Chaoyang had many questions in his mind about what happened in the Mu family, but at this point, those questions no longer seemed important.

After all, everyone is dead...

Mu Wanqiu is his childhood friend. Out of friendship, he wanted to say a few more words for Mu Wanqiu today.

She glanced at Ji Feng, then turned her head to look at Wen Nuan, who was standing at the bar not far away, sipping sweet wine. Ye Yuwei was teaching her how to taste wine.

After confirming that Wen Nuan had no intention of returning for a while, Lao Jiang thought for a while before speaking:

"You really don't understand her mind? What if, I mean, what if, she did some things voluntarily?"

Ji Feng paused, then suddenly burst into laughter:

"Just say whatever you want to say, why bother?"

"Alas, Mu Wanqiu really likes you. People around you can clearly feel it."

Ji Feng restrained his smile. He could laugh at Jiang Chaoyang, but he would not laugh at Mu Wanqiu's liking.

Liking this thing itself is worthy of respect:

“Old Jiang, being liked by someone you neither like nor hate is like someone giving you a piece of candy you don’t like.

I know she is very sweet, and I can put her in my pocket, and when I feel like it one day, I can take her out and lick her or eat her.

But I don’t want that, and it wouldn’t be fair to her.”

Unfair to her?

Who is this "she" that Ji Feng is talking about?

"Alas, I always felt that she was really suitable for you and she liked you. It's such a pity that the right people are not together..."

"What's there to regret? Life isn't perfect."

"Too."

"You keep talking about me, what about yourself?"

Seeing that the conversation was turning to him, Jiang Chaoyang waved his hand quickly:

"What do you mean by myself? Am I not doing well now? When Chen Lu gets pregnant, I won't have anything to worry about and can just focus on my career."

Ji Feng also gave Jiang Chaoyang a look of contempt:

"You can fool a fool with this, but you can't fool me? No way."

"I said what was in my heart, no lie or no."

"If you really think so, whether Chen Lu is around or not, you should have changed women around you frequently, but you didn't. Isn't that obvious enough?"

"I don't understand a thing you're saying."

Seeing Jiang Chaoyang's stubbornness, Ji Feng smiled and added another stab:

"If you were asked to choose now, would you choose the right person or the person you love?"

Jiang Chaoyang was suddenly stunned, but what made him stunned at this moment was not Ji Feng’s question, but a new song played and sung by the bar singer.

“All the memories between us are collected carefully.

I always cry secretly, like a tired bird that has missed its return home.

I hope that the ending of the love I believe in is firmly in my hand.

Time flies by, but the past is not lost.”

Lao Jiang stopped the waiter who was serving the wine and asked:

"This song... is good. Is it new?"

“Yeah, it was released by an online singer, whose ID is Ji something.

This girl is very generous and directly opened up all the copyrights, so the bar can sing it directly."

"so."

Jiang Chaoyang nodded slowly, not knowing whether he was recalling the content of the song or the past events that the song brought back to him.

The fingers holding the wine glass turned pale, and it took him a while to recover. When he looked up at Ji Feng, he seemed to have returned to normal:

"Then you must have chosen the right person. If the person you love doesn't love you, then wouldn't you be a bootlicker?"

Hearing what Jiang Chaoyang said, Ji Feng nodded:

"Old Jiang, let me give you an example."

"explain."

"For example, if you like eating chicken drumsticks, you will buy them without hesitation, regardless of whether they are healthy or not. You may not like eating bitter melon, but you will buy it because it is good for your health.

So, liking something is pure, but not liking something requires weighing the pros and cons, right?"

Jiang Chaoyang:......

"Yes, that's fine, but bitter melon is indeed healthy! That's okay, right?"

Seeing Jiang Chaoyang fall into the trap, Ji Feng's smile became even more intense than before:

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished talking yet."

"Okay, keep talking."

“You chose bitter melon for health reasons, but after taking a bite, you found that it was bitter and not tasty, so you still preferred to eat chicken drumsticks.

So you bought the chicken legs and threw away the bitter gourd.

And bitter melon didn't understand what he had done wrong until the end.

So sometimes, after getting something, people easily fail to cherish it and do things that hurt others.

In fact, you know in your heart that once you have a choice in love, you don't need to choose anymore, understand?"

Jiang Chaoyang was a little confused, but of course he understood what Ji Feng meant.

This was the first time he had heard such an explanation.

"Hearing what you said, I think I understand why you didn't choose Mu Wanqiu. Are you worried that you will hurt her in the end?

Don’t mention it, Old Ji, you’re quite a nice person…”

The corners of Ji Feng's mouth twitched, and he smiled back, then moved his gaze to Wen Nuan. Seeing her discussing alcohol with Ye Yuwei with a look of surprise, Ji Feng suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction.

The real core of what he said to Jiang Chaoyang was not the first part, but the last sentence.

Things like feelings...

Once the choice is presented, there is no need to choose.

Just like when you toss a coin to make a choice, if you want to toss it a second time, it actually means you have the answer.

Fall in love, give affection, and resonate with emotions.

Every time you talk about these things, you have to do it and make a sacrifice.

In this process, not only time, money and energy are consumed, but also the emotions themselves.

The more you talk, the less focused you become, the less you care, and the more indifferent you become.

Many people don’t realize that in the process of repeatedly falling in love, they gradually become slaves to the novelty of the relationship.

I try to give myself the title of an emotional veteran, but in fact I have already lost the sincere feelings I once wanted.

Ji Feng felt that his personality was actually a little indifferent.

He has no fear of hurting anyone.

He has never made a choice, and there is no such thing as bitter gourd or chicken legs.

But neither Mu Wanqiu nor any other girl had ever been an option for him.

His option is the only one.

Only warmth.

Wen Nuan had also done things like sacrificing herself.

At that time, he also rejected the warmth.

And when the rejected warmth said very urgently, "I would rather repeat the same mistakes with you thousands of times, and each time will be mistakes, than to see you fall in love with someone else."

Ji Feng understood that the girl had fallen.

The autistic girl at that time was clumsy and passionate, and almost lost her bottom line.

She would just stubbornly believe that it was right to give him her best.

But in reality, this behavior can easily lead to problems.

If you meet a scumbag, the end result will definitely be devastating.

The rejection at that time was not because Ji Feng himself was so noble, but because he hoped that Wen Nuan could calm down.

Make a choice wisely.

That's why he kept waiting.

Even after Wen Nuan experienced the colorful world of Shanghai, met a variety of college classmates and alumni, and experienced the treacherous business workplace, she still maintained that passion.

He and Wen Nuan finally came together and gave themselves to each other.

After going through a lot of things, he chose to avoid the endless cycle of novelty and love someone.

His feelings are actually that simple and have never been complicated...

Wen Nuan seemed to sense Ji Feng's gaze, turned her head and looked over. After blinking, she walked over with two glasses of wine that Ye Yuwei had prepared for her.

"These two are delicious, you try them."

"it is good."

Under Wen Xiaonuan's expectant gaze, Ji Feng picked up both glasses of wine and took a sip.

"The sweetness overwhelms the alcohol. It's obvious that it was made by an expert. Xiaoye's skills are pretty good. But if you drink like this, you'll probably get drunk tonight!"

"Uh, I feel okay!"

Wen Nuan hadn't realized yet that her face had turned a little red. Ji Feng rubbed her head and smiled.

He didn't mean to say anything harsh, let alone criticize.

Wen Xiaonuan is a more self-disciplined person than him. She rarely has such happy and indulgent moments, so let her be today.

"Okay, go play by yourself."

"Hey, okay."

After three rounds of drinking, both of them drank a lot. With a little tipsy feeling, Jiang Chaoyang stared at Ji Feng with a complicated expression:

"Will you and Wen Nuan get married in the future?"

To this question, Ji Feng even answered a little eagerly:

"You're talking nonsense. I've even thought of a name for my child."

Although he had expected this, Jiang Chaoyang still felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable after hearing Ji Feng say this.

Meeting true love is something that is really desirable and enviable!

It's the same even for a rich man like him.

"alright."

"What about you, Brother Chaoyang, will you get married?"

Jiang Chaoyang also paused this time:

"Probably not."
