original love

The phone in his hand was held for a long time, Yi Xiao stared at the previous missed calls in silence, even though Zhou Jinyu behind him urged him again, he still sat there without moving.

what are you counting onYi Xiao asked himself.Looking at the phone that had been hung up, he had the urge to call back to confirm at that moment, but at this moment, when Li Fengnian's daughter was almost at the door, how could he still think that maybe it would be from Chen Yi Chen Anhua, who got the news from Xiao, called.

Yi Xiao stared at the phone until the black screen, until Zhou Jinyu stepped forward to ask him what was wrong, then he put the phone back on the table, stood up slowly and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, let's go."

In the extravagant wedding scene, under the eyes of the guests, when the officiant asked the sacred question, Yi Xiao stared at the smiling Li Xiaonian for a long time, until he saw a little urging in the other party's eyes, until When he looked down at the obviously swollen belly of the other party, he suddenly realized that the ridiculous expectation was still in vain, everything was a foregone conclusion, and the marriage snatching plot of chasing true love in TV dramas turned out to be deceitful, or in other words, That person still doesn't love it after all.

So in the end, he finally said those three words heavily, "I am willing."

……

Spring goes to autumn, seasons change, Li Fengnian's grandson is born, Zhou Jinyu has a boyfriend, even Zhang Zi has set a wedding date at the end of the year, everything around seems to be developing on the right track.

With the support of Li Fengnian's funds, the Qin family finally waited for the return of funds for several projects, and with the successful implementation of a "smart shared space" project hosted by Yi Xiao, it gave the Qin family enough strength to regroup.

This is the first major project led by Yi Xiao in the Qin Corporation, and it is also the key to the successful transformation of the Qin Corporation. Qin Xuan has given his full support in public and private affairs. After fully studying Yi Xiao's proposal and affirming the project's prospects Afterwards, he integrated all Qin's resources to fully support the development of the project.In less than a year, Qin's vacant and unsold real estate was transformed into several models and rented and shared externally. Combining the Internet of Things technology that was abandoned halfway in Silicon Valley, a powerful intelligent background, sharing platform and high-quality resources were established. It is hard to create a novel marketing model in the traditional field through a unique approach.The Qin Corporation became famous again due to its successful transformation. Thanks to this, many companies came here to seek cooperation opportunities, hoping to take advantage of Qin Corporation's absolute advantage in capital to get a share of the big ship's resumption of sailing.

At the celebration banquet for the opening of the first batch of shared spaces, Qin Xuan patted Yi Xiao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "You are really mature. Your grandfather said that day that with you here, he can retire with peace of mind."

……

On this day, after repurchasing all the shares pledged by Bolang, Yi Xiao invited Zhou Jinyu to the bar.After the rain, the capital city looks deserted than usual, and there are only a few tables of people in the noisy bars in the past.

"I redeemed the shares," Yi Xiao lit a cigarette, pushed a check to Zhou Jinyu and said, "These are the ones you took before, and you paid them back a little late."

"What are you doing, brother, have you been counting on me for so many years? I took it out and didn't think about taking it back." Zhou Jinyu frowned and pushed it back.

"If I don't pay it, I won't pay it back. Now that the Qin family is very stable and there is no risk, I don't need it anymore." Seeing that Zhou Jinyu was still pushing and shoving, Yi Xiao chuckled and said, "If it's yours, I might take it, but It was cut from your brother back then."

"Where do you care..."

"Zhou Jinyu," Yi Xiao said after taking a deep breath, "Let me be more at ease, and accept it."

At this point, Zhou Jinyu sighed helplessly. Yi Xiao has carried too much burden for the Qin family for more than a year, maybe this can make this person feel more relaxed.

Picking up the check and looking at it seriously, Zhou Jinyu frowned falsely and said, "Why is there no interest?"

Yi Xiao was amused, and said truthfully, "I want to give it to you, but I'm afraid I'll be run over by you."

Zhou Jinyu also followed suit. Yi Xiao has been traveling around for the Qin family for more than a year. Every time the two brothers meet, they are in a hurry. Today it is rare to see Yi Xiao who seems to be at leisure, so he chatted with Yi Xiao about his friends. Recent developments, big and small things in the circle.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Jinyu put down his wine glass and asked, "The contract with the Li family will be terminated in half a year. What are your plans? Li Xiaonian didn't say that he wanted to continue the fake show for real?"

"How could it be? We'll be gone at that time. Don't look at Li Xiaonian being crazy and unreliable all day long. He has been waiting for the child's father, the poor boy, to return home with fame. His mind is quite single-minded. It's hard for Li Fengnian. I'm forced by the situation, and now I'm focused on pointing out which son or brother his daughter can fall in love with." Mentioning the little one, Yi Xiao smiled, "It's just that Li Xiaonian is worried that the child is too clingy to me recently, and I'm afraid he will wait for his own father. I won’t recognize it when I come back.”

"Being someone else's father is quite enjoyable, isn't it?" Zhou Jinyu joked.

"It's okay, I didn't like children before, I thought they were noisy, now I suddenly put one, every day my father calls you, it's hard not to look twice." Li Xiaonian was so angry that he vomited blood because of the fact that the child would call his father first , Yi Xiao couldn't help pulling the corners of his mouth.

"You are still happy, and you are not afraid that when the family of three is reunited, the whole capital will laugh at your son for accepting an outsider as his father."

"Afraid..." Yi Xiao suddenly repeated the word lightly, and murmured after a long time, "What's so scary." What happened above is nothing.

After a while, Yi Xiao asked for no reason, "How are you and Yu Zehao?"

"Well... that's it." Zhou Jinyu couldn't help chuckling thinking that the kid knew that he was going to meet Yi Xiao alone today, and called him several times in the afternoon looking for something to do.

The slight but heartfelt happy laughter was heard by Yi Xiao, who couldn't hide his friend's happiness, and Yi Xiao was happy for Zhou Jinyu, then he sipped lightly and said, it's good.

Suddenly realizing something, Zhou Jinyu turned his head to the side, and carefully looked at this always handsome but increasingly serious man. Yi Xiao stopped there with deep eyes, playing with the wine glass and stopped talking. Only then did he suddenly realize that, In fact, Yi Xiao has become a lot more silent over the past year. He used to be his president outside, but in private he was still the big boy who often joked with him, but now even when there are only two of them, he can’t talk. Significantly less.

Zhou Jinyu turned around slowly, sighing slightly in her heart, feelings can really change a person completely.

After a while, seeing that Yi Xiao was obviously slightly drunk, Zhou Jinyu lit a cigarette, stroked the ashtray on the bar with her fingertips, and finally asked what she had been holding back for more than a year: "Yi Xiao, why did you and Chen Anhua break up in the first place?" gone?"

"..." Hearing this name again suddenly after such a long time, Yi Xiao still trembled slightly, and it wasn't until a while later that he said indifferently: "The points are all divided, what's the reason?"

When the smoke rings were hovering over the dim yellow sky of the bar, Zhou Jinyu said slowly again: "Yi Xiao, if you really like Chen Anhua, then bring him back, no matter what I said before, but with Chen Anhua's character, you can Blocking your door over and over again, finding Chen Shen over and over again, it means he likes you."

Sensing that the person beside him was looking at him sideways, Zhou Jinyu continued: "No matter what he thought when he first started dating you, just based on the few words I learned from Chen Shen, I believe that he was true to you later on. .Although I don't know why you love him so much that you suddenly broke up. You have been avoiding saying that I know it, but it's obvious that you haven't let him go until now."

Yi Xiao slowly turned his head to the side. He couldn't see it on the surface, but the cool feeling from the bottom of his heart quickly spread all over his body, so he just said lightly: "It's been so long, why mention this."

"Is it really over after so long? Can you miss him now?"

"..." Even though he controlled it so that it wouldn't show up, the cup in his hand still shook because it was suddenly clenched tightly. Yi Xiao tried his best to restrain the fluctuation of his voice and said, "It's nothing, don't mention it."

Even though it was obvious that Yi Xiao was already a little angry, Zhou Jinyu insisted on saying after finishing the whole glass of wine and dropping the glass heavily on the bar counter: "If it's over, why are you afraid that I will mention him? You always hide like this Can you hide it?"

"Zhou Jinyu, aren't you surprised?" Yi Xiao was no longer calm, and asked in a blunt tone: "At that time, you persuaded me to split up, and now you bring this up after such a long time? Is it interesting?" Yi Xiao He frowned fiercely and said.

Zhou Jinyu also drank a lot, knowing that he was lighting the fire, he couldn't stop, "You have a marriage contract with the Li family, and the Qin family has had internal and external troubles for more than a year. I know you can't take care of it. What kind of state is better for you, I have been thinking, if you take this matter lightly during this period of time, and forget about Chen Anhua, when the contract with the Li family is over, you can find another one you like, at least It’s good to be able to communicate with you normally and live together as a companion, because I’m also afraid that if there is a crack in the relationship, it will leave a scar... But for more than a year, I’ve been by your side to really see how you got here, you Do you still remember when was the last time you laughed heartily? I didn’t see it at the celebration banquet when the Qin’s project landed. I didn’t see you when you were praised as the successor of the Qin’s. I didn’t see it when everyone was gossiping and making fun of each other at the get-together, but now I can recall that the time you laughed was when you were with Chen Anhua..."

"Enough!" Yi Xiao raised his voice subconsciously, especially in a quiet bar, even a couple in the corner looked sideways.

"It's not enough! I'm going to tell you what you're holding back today," Zhou Jinyu choked out the cigarette butts that had been burnt to the end, and said emotionally, "If there is only one Chen Anhua can make you happy, so you go to him! Where did all your smugness go? Tiantian is a fart for hiding in front of everyone! No matter what the problem is, you can find him Make it clear, if you don’t understand clearly, just take it home and do it directly, if there is anything that can’t be solved, I have to let you pretend|force to lick your wounds here alone!”

Yi Xiao suddenly looked at Zhou Jinyu coldly, and Zhou Jinyu stood there dumbfounded. In the end, Yi Xiao withdrew his gaze and turned his head to the side. He knew Zhou Jinyu was worried, otherwise he wouldn't have persuaded himself to take away so much Zhou Jinyu should not blame Zhou Jinyu for insisting on tearing things apart, after all, this person doesn't know anything.But some things are hard to tell others, even if this person is your younger brother.

Zhou Jinyu's heart softened when he saw Yi Xiao's strong expression that could be broken with a single poke. He didn't want to force Yi Xiao, but he didn't want to see this person hide his pain and let it ferment and rot. He just wanted to let the happy Yi Xiao came back.

Finally, Zhou Jinyu sat down slowly and said in a calm tone: "The Li family's marriage is about to expire, Yi Xiao, listen to me, and then go to Chen Anhua and explain everything clearly. Some knots need to be resolved by yourself. You can’t wait for others to help you, and if you miss some things, you may not have a chance, then you will never get through this hurdle in your life.”

"Zhou Jinyu..." After a long while, Yi Xiao moved his lips slightly while looking at the front of nothingness, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "If one day, you find that what Yu Zehao has been thinking about when dating you is Others, will you forgive him? If he hasn't contacted you for more than a year after the two of you broke up, do you still believe that he cares about you?"

Zhou Jinyu stood there dumbfounded for a long time, unable to speak, and slowly, her hand slipped down from Yi Xiao's shoulder unconsciously.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally understood why Yi Xiao, who had been thinking about Chen Anhua for eight years, suddenly broke up cruelly, and why he wanted to take back his feelings even though he loved Chen Anhua so much. Yi Xiao will never tear this scar off to anyone.But after thinking about it, based on what he knew from Chen Shen, he felt that things should not be like this.

After a long while, Zhou Jinyu asked softly: "Is there some misunderstanding, did he admit it himself? I always think that's not the case. I didn't find you later, maybe I had to give up because I knew you were married. Yi Xiao, if you can take care of yourself I won’t say much about a happy life, but now you clearly can’t forget being stuck here, seeing you like this every day makes me unhappy too, so listen to me, go to him and make things clear, maybe it’s just a misunderstanding, let’s talk it out Is it all right?"

Thinking of the mess all over the floor, Yi Xiao remained silent and did not answer. It was not until a while later that the phone rang and gave him a reason to leave. Yi Xiao forced the corners of his mouth to get up slowly, patted Zhou Jinyu on the shoulder and said, "Early Go back and let Yu Zehao pick you up, don't drive."

……

Sitting in Chen Shen's car, looking out the window at the rapidly passing night, Yi Xiao seemed to suddenly see a reflection on the car window that would never leave even if he wanted to forget it, so he immediately glanced at Elsewhere, as repeated countless times before.

Sometimes Beijing is really big, so big that even if you always search deliberately with your eyes unintentionally, you will never meet that person again.

Even if he insisted on denying it, in fact, he would always think about it for more than a year, why Chen Anhua didn't come to him again, what should he do if he really came, people will be like this, they keep telling you not to show up again, in terms of actions She refused, but in her heart she hoped that that person would come back again and again.

It's cheap...

But as for Chen Anhua, he never appeared again in the next year or so. Even though he did something hurtful and said vicious things at that time, if he really loved him, how could he not bring it back, and how could he know that he was going to get married? Don't try to stop the struggle.If it was true what Zhou Jinyu said, Chen Anhua gave up because of his marriage, but that person could stick to Chen Yixiao for so many years, so in comparison, it can only show that in Chen Anhua's heart, he is still nothing.

Since this is the case, Yi Xiao told himself that if he has the ability to like someone, he should have the ability to suppress him.But recently, he has been afraid, afraid that he will suddenly see Chen Anhua walking happily with another man on a certain street corner. He can't even imagine what terrible things he would do if Chen Anhua had forgotten the past and turned into someone else's embrace. It is clear that his injury is still not healed, how can he bear that person to start happily with others, maybe he will not be able to control the separation of those two people with all despicable and vicious means, making Chen Anhua overwhelmed with pain, and doubling everything he has suffered Also go back.

However, Chen Anhua did not give him such a chance. After the last meeting in the hotel, Chen Anhua completely disappeared, leaving nothing but those painful memories that he wanted to forget but could never forget, as if this person had never been in his life There was the same...

He lowered his head and turned on the phone, which had no information worth checking. After hesitating for a while, he clicked on WeChat and entered a series of numbers. With his hesitant fingers finally pressing down, the familiar pure white profile picture appeared in front of him again. Chen Anhua's profile picture had never been It hasn't changed... Yi Xiao stared at the phone in a daze, and after a long time, he turned off the screen.

When he looked out of the window again, he thought with hatred, whether it was an unforgettable thing for him, another person might have let go of it long ago.
