give you a soft spot

Seeing a ring is like seeing a person, I put the box containing Xi Zhuo's ring in the drawer of the bedside table, and I like to open it before going to bed or after waking up, the beautiful blue light it reflects always makes the corners of my mouth rise.

Bi Jing stayed at home for a few nights and then left. He heard from Bi Jing that the boy came back to give money to his parents, and he made more money from Kuo Zhuo than he had earned in these years.

I know that the only person who can damage Bi Gong's vigor is his younger brother. I comfort him by saying that the future is still long, so don't be disappointed too early.

The next thing to start a business is on the agenda.I made a decision after inspecting several Bi Gong's stores on the spot.

Give up the facade of the CBD and choose to rent ordinary houses.

The next night, my mother called me to her room very seriously, and wrote me the account and password where her savings were stored.

"I heard from Bi Gong that you don't plan to rent a commercial storefront. It must be because you don't have enough money. Mom has some here. You can use them first."

"Mom, it's not that we don't have enough money," I patiently explained, "It's that we can't waste our limited funds on empty shelves. It's not worth it. It's not too late to change places if we make a profit in the future."

My mother sighed: "There will definitely be a lot of money at the beginning, so take it."

It took me a long time to convince my mom not to worry about my finances and to convince her that I could handle it.

In the bank card in the deepest compartment of my wallet is the money that was bought out by Xizhuo Studio for the design draft, and I haven't touched a cent.

Bi Gong was surprised after I finished telling the amount: "You said earlier that you have so much, so I won't apply for a loan from the bank."

I was also surprised: "When did you apply for the loan?"

"Two days ago, you said that you wanted to rent a residential house instead. I thought it was because of insufficient funds, so I tried to mortgage the two shops under my name in the scenic spot. The procedures went smoothly and are pending approval."

"No, you can't take the store as a mortgage. Is it too late to cancel it?"

"Ah Ming, don't be stupid because of studying," Bi Gong said with a smile, "Even if the review is successful, if you don't want it, you don't have to sign it."

I breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

The house was rented very smoothly, and the price was reasonable. I chose a spacious duplex in a community close to the city center. I signed the contract on the same day after looking forward to it.

Standing in the empty room, Bi respectfully patted me on the shoulder: "This will be our den from now on."

I squinted at him: "A den? Are you looking for a pyramid scheme or a scam, can you use the exact words."

"Stronghold? Hideout? Forget it, I don't know, anyway, I'll hang around here from now on."

I explained the style I probably wanted to the decoration company, and they quickly gave the design drawings.

One week later, the renovation officially started, and it was expedited, with a construction period of one and a half months.

Bi Gong still has a noodle restaurant to operate and manage. I was afraid that he would be too busy, so I simply did not let him participate in the supervisory work.

I realized the shortage of manpower, and started recruiting ahead of time, hoping to have the manpower just in time for the completion of the renovation.

Except for contacting a student on the Internet, I found nothing.

Indeed, we can't even write the name of a specific organizational unit, so how can we be convinced.

As a novice entrepreneur, I finally understood that the first task is to register the studio.

The student who is one level younger than me is called Ji Ming. I was in the Propaganda Department of the Student Union with me when we were in college. He majored in computer and information technology. It has been more than three months since he graduated, and now he works in a small software company. The development company worked hard and heard that I was going to start a business. This person said something that moved me through the screen.

He said, senior, I still want to continue to follow you.

Looking at that line for a moment, I remembered my college days. Ji Ming followed me since he was a member of the department. Later, I was promoted to the chief minister and promoted him to be the deputy minister.

I replied: "Come here anytime if you have made up your mind, and I will pick you up. If you really become prosperous and rich in the future, if you have my share, you will have your share."

This person is really a man of action, he resigned the next day, and rushed over after sitting on the high-speed train for more than ten hours.

Bi Gong, who went to pick up the station with me, liked the person very much when he saw him, and repeatedly praised him for being smart and clever.

After arranging Jiming to live near my house, I reassuredly entrusted him with the rest of the decoration work and decided to go to Paris first.

On the day I left, the Internet was full of news of Carat's death.

I went to Xi Zhuo's homepage, and sure enough, I saw his updates that I missed because I was too busy.

The two photos, without captions, are both of his hand holding a furry paw, which should be understood by all old fans.

In the first one, he was 20 years old, Carat was born, and they just met.

In the second picture, he is 28 years old and Carat is eight years old. They will part forever.

Xi Zhuo must be very sad, his partner who has been with him for eight years has left, and I am even more sad because I can't even comfort him.

Habitually flipping through the comments below, there are really sharp-eyed fans saying that the single clock on his left hand is gone.

The whole world knows that Xi Zhuo loves that ring deeply, but the whole world doesn't know that the ring is with me.

I suddenly felt weak, and even wanted to give up everything to go to him. Even if I never see the sun, I still want to be happy with him and sad with him. I don't want him to be alone.

But, I can't.All my running and exhausting is paving the way to him, and I can persevere before I stop breathing.

I came to Paris to find Qiyi.

The last time I contacted him was to ask him to help me buy a branded bag for my mother. I contacted him half a month ago, saying that I had something to do with him and I would go there as soon as possible.

He asked me if there was anything I couldn't say online.

I told him very firmly at the time that I must tell him this matter in person.

There is no direct flight from my city to Paris, the one I take is to Amsterdam.

After the eleven-hour air flight landed, I took the Thalys train from Amsterdam Central Station to Paris Nord Station.

After three and a half hours, I arrived at my destination and met Qiyi who came to pick me up.

I haven't seen him for more than a year, and I still think about his appearance when he just graduated from college. Obviously, he is going to become more mature and tasteful now. We hugged gently in the crowd and walked side by side.

Seeing that I didn't bring any luggage, he turned his head and said, "It can be seen that you don't intend to stay longer."

I smiled: "Didn't I say I came to talk to you about something, and I left after the talk."

Qi took me back to his residence near the Fashion Institute where he was studying for graduate school. It was a small and delicate house.When he called to order Chinese food, I stood in front of the window and looked at the occasional pedestrians passing by under the dim street lights. It was the first time I walked so far alone, and I didn't feel a little bit scared during the whole process.

"Don't make me worry, tell me, you came across the ocean to ask me something."

I turned around: "Qi Yi, do you still remember our Kakang Siyao?"

Qi Yi's movement of bending down to put the phone back was seriously off, and he let the phone slip and looked at me.
