I quietly watch you play

The weather was bad, and it was too dark after four o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Sheng International's headquarters building stood on the Fontaine Road like a lighthouse, and the light and shadow of the glass curtain wall changed.

You Yuan stepped on high heels and chased out of the elevator, clattering: "Little uncle, wait a minute, let me go, it's going to rain." The girl stood in front of her, holding her back with one hand and panting.

"Not on the way." Jiang Xiaoqi unlocked the R8 with a beep.

Youyuan was in a hurry, and his words were crying: "I have something to tell you, can't you? I'm going back to the United States tomorrow. I don't know when I will have the chance to admit my mistake again—" His voice became smaller and smaller, feeling aggrieved.

After all, Jiang Xiaoqi is a man and an elder, he didn't make things difficult for his niece anymore, he shook his head to signal her to get out.

The white R8 drove into the dark night, with a little light shining on the rearview mirror.

Youyuan pulled the seatbelt down, glanced at Jiang Xiaoqi's face out of the corner of his eye, and finally said after a long time: "Little uncle, I'm sorry, but I didn't hide it from you on purpose... I didn't know about Brother Wei's illness until around May [-]st. They said, Brother Xiaowei and Brother Pei were together... I, I don't think you want to hear that... At that time, I really thought that Brother Xiaowei had recovered, and telling you would not help, on the contrary..."

"Uncle, I'm sorry—"

"Finished?" Jiang Xiaoqi tilted his head and asked.

"Ah."

"Telling you to go back immediately is not punishing you."

Youyuan opened her eyes wide, she felt that Jiang Xiaoqi was deliberately alienating her these days, treating her no closer than You Ting and You Yin, which made her feel very guilty and uneasy, and drove her back to the United States before the bid was announced.

Jiang Xiaoqi rested his right hand loosely on the steering wheel, and the car headed north all the way: "Go back and help me take care of my mother, there are not many people I can trust."

You Yuan's eyes were red: "Do you believe me?"

"Your first single design was directed by me, and your first thesis was edited by me. I have been outside for more than two years, and it was just the two of us who took care of each other..." Jiang Xiaoqi's voice echoed in the closed car Li, low-key but with a shocking frankness, "In the past, I really didn't trust others easily. Later, I learned from one person to speculate on the other party from the perspective of goodwill in everything, and don't give up on comrades easily."

"What I want to do in the future cannot be done by myself, nor is it for my own self-interest. I think you will be willing to help me."

"Grandmother likes you very much. She said that girls who are fat are blessed and have a soft heart. I believe in that person and my mother. When you go back, spend more time with her and don't delay your homework. I don't care for assistants in vain. Yes, especially the assistant who eats a lot."

You Yuan secretly wiped away tears, and was afraid of rubbing eye makeup, so she blinked vigorously: "Little uncle, you deserve to have no girlfriend, you are not a gentleman at all!"

"I'm your uncle, not your boyfriend, so I still have to talk sweetly to please you? Just wipe your tears and make up your powder. You little girls, who look so dark outside, who are you going to dress up for?"

You Yuan rubbed his nose: "May I go and see brother Wei?" "Just take a look and promise not to take pictures or record videos, just say I'm your assistant... I just want to see if he's okay... "

Jiang Xiaoqi thought for a while: "In principle, it's not allowed. If you know how to cook squirrel mandarin fish, maybe you can make an exception."

He knew that Zhou Wei didn't want to get in touch with people from his past life, but all the friends he could have stayed in the past, and now it's even more impossible to expect him to take the initiative to make new friends.

Zhou Wei was trapped in the crack of time, only one or two true friends like Pei Qin were pulling him, wanting him to come out again, using a new identity to compromise with the world around him, more people needed to reach out to him.

Youyuan became excited immediately, and poured out her makeup bag: "Don't underestimate the pursuit of a foodie! Turn left at the intersection ahead, and I know there is a store that has the freshest mandarin fish, and it will be shipped by air on the same day."

The uncle and nephew stood in front of the apartment with a live fish in their hands.

Jiang Xiaoqi pointed at the door: "He has the final say whether to let you in or not."

You Yuan waved his hands, a little nervous: "Brother Xiaowei really doesn't know us? Me, me, me, what should I say later, which leg to take first?"

When Zhou Weilai opened the door, You Yuan saw him cry out, and hugged Zhou Wei with open arms: "Brother Xiaowei, do you still recognize me? Brother Xiaowei——"

Jiang Xiaoqi pulled the person away, stuffed the fish into her arms, and said to Zhou Wei: "This is the cook I hired to make squirrel fish, can you see her?"

Zhou Wei took a step back, looked You Yuan up and down, and asked softly, "Just now...did she slag me, or did I slag her?"

Cough cough cough, Jiang Xiaoqi endured the internal injury from laughing.

Youyuan blushed: "Brother Wei, I really came here to be a fish. You used to be a scumbag in the world. I will never scumbag you, or you will give me a chance to try?"

"You can go try cooking fish, the kitchen is over there." Jiang Xiaoqi sent people away.

You Yuan cleaned up the fish, cut it with a flower knife, coated it with seasoning and marinated for a while; Jiang Xiaoqi made another soup with minced meat and carrots and chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and egg drop.

Youyuan chatted with Zhou Wei when Jiang Xiaoqi entered the kitchen, blinking his big eyes: "I'm a meatball, take a good look at me, is it true to my name? That's how you praised me when you were young, it made me cry until the eyes are swollen like goldfish."

"Brother Wei, I'm going back to the United States tomorrow, so I can't bear to come here... The foreign food is not good, and I'm growing fat!"

Zhou Wei turned his eyes to the kitchen: "Is he going back too?"

You Yuan shook his head vigorously: "No, no, my little uncle will be the designer of AOI to present the bid on the spot tomorrow. He is very good. He is the youngest and most promising designer of AOI. Even the directors of foreign devils are very convinced!"

She seems to be explaining a hundred thousand reasons to the child, very patiently: "My uncle went to America to take care of his god-grandmother, who is my uncle's mother, who belongs to my grandfather... Oh, it's so complicated, he worked so hard for it Can stay—"

"Your fish is marinated, go to the frying pan!"

Jiang Xiaoqi brought out the soup, and locked You Yuan and her unfinished words into the kitchen.He didn't want Zhou Wei to know about the dirty tricks of Jiang's family, and he didn't want to use it as an excuse for himself.

Compared with what Zhou Wei has endured and lost in the past two years, a "last resort" is too perfunctory.

What's the meaning?Zhou Wei frowned slightly, showing a sense of loss and bewilderment.

You Yuan wanted to say that Jiang Xiaoqi worked hard in the design company in the United States, trying to gain a firm foothold, in order to stay there to take care of Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen is in the United States, Jiang Xiaoqi will still go back.

He came back this time not only to congratulate his grandparents, but tomorrow's bid is more important. If he doesn't leave now, he is not staying for him, but for work.

So, if he doesn't leave tomorrow, maybe he will leave the day after tomorrow; if he doesn't leave the day after tomorrow, he will leave one day.

"Headache again?" Jiang Xiaoqi pinched his earlobe.Zhou Wei stepped aside: "No."

Yuyuan's craftsmanship is solid, although the appearance of the fish is not as good as that of a high-end restaurant, the taste is very passable, sweet and sour, crisp and tender.

She served fish to Zhou Wei, and carefully picked the thornless garlic cloves and thin meat to dip in the sauce: "Little uncle, why do you have carrots in your dishes? Do you raise rabbits? Brother Wei, you should eat more fish. It's good for your eyes. You draw a picture." It's very eye-catching."

"Carrots are better for the eyes." Jiang Xiaoqi pushed the plate and recommended himself.

"I want to eat fish." Zhou Wei was a little unhappy, like a wayward baby.

Youyuan's maternal instincts are great, and he treats his fairy brother who is sexually obsessed with obedience: "Okay, let's eat fish, one mouthful of fish, okay? Be careful—"

Jiang Xiaoqi tasted it: "He doesn't remember you, doesn't it mean he doesn't remember how to eat, is it kindergarten dinner time?"

Zhou Wei bit the fish and looked at You Yuan, and started to dismantle the stage: "I remember you, a little bit."

For a moment, Youyuan felt a superiority feeling of being treated specially, his eyes lit up, and he moved his face closer: "Really, Brother Wei, what do you remember? Ah?"

Zhou Wei thought about it seriously: "You can eat double servings of diet meals."

puff!Jiang Xiaoqi's soup squirted.

You Yuan burst into tears again in front of the black history: "Brother Wei, I still can't stop loving you——"

Jiang Xiaoqi gave her carrots: "This can also be eaten in double servings."

At night, when Zhou Wei was drawing, Jiang Xiaoqi watched the PPT on the Pad next to him, which was the content of the bidding the next day.

During the period, Jiang Xiaoqi answered the phone, put down the pad and went to the bedroom to answer it, not because he wanted to hide Zhou Wei, he couldn't hear the conversation without earphones, it was purely due to his habit of not disturbing others.

Zhou Wei was holding the hand-painted tablet, not knowing what the hell he was drawing for a long time, seeing Jiang Xiaoqi's back hidden in the door, and secretly put on the earphones.

He spoke English, which didn't bother Zhou Wei. He probably said that there would be no problem tomorrow, and he said nonsense like waiting for his good news. Then he said Dan Yang's address, which Zhou Wei guessed might be the place for the opening of bids.

After the bidding ends tomorrow, are the foreign devils coming to pick him up?It must be so!

Zhou Wei pulled off the earphones and held them in his palms, ashamed of his voyeurism.Why?Why do people with normal ears just accidentally hear it, and he is eavesdropping on privacy!Why did Jiang Xiaoqi lie to him once, and then pull Jiang Youyuan to lie to him again!

Jiang Xiaoqi hung up the phone and came out, seeing Zhou Wei looking at him with indescribable sadness and resentment in his eyes.

"Do you want to talk to me?" Jiang Xiaoqi approached, squatted down, and signed in sign language while talking: You, think, say, I...

weekend:"……"

"Sorry, I just learned a little bit, so I can't use it well." Jiang Xiaoqi took out a piece of paper to write: I haven't learned it yet, but I will definitely learn it, and it will be great when the time comes.Do you want to chat with me?

Zhou Wei was poked by those random gestures, his heart softened again, and he raised his hand to plug in the earphones.

Jiang Xiaoqi grabbed his wrist and confiscated the earphones. He knew that he would get a headache if he wore them for a long time, and he didn't let Zhou Wei use them when the two of them were together. Learning sign language was also the idea at that time.

Since Zhou Wei couldn't hear his voice, it's okay to convey the meaning to him in another way. He never minded walking slower and waiting for him.

Jiang Xiaoqi handed the pen and paper to Zhou Wei.

weekend:. . .

Jiang Xiaoqi:? ? ?

Zhou Wei licked her cheeks with the tip of her tongue: You said you were my boyfriend, when did you start liking me?

After he finished writing this sentence, the tips of his ears turned red, and he put down the pen and crumpled the paper into a ball.

Jiang Xiaoqi opened the crumpled paper: It was very early, earlier than you rescued me at the racecourse, and a little earlier than you carried me down from the mountain.do you remember theseYou are very kind to me.

Zhou Wei thought to himself, do you want some face?The incidents mentioned above happened on the third and second sides respectively. Is it a lie to say that you fell in love with me at first sight?

Jiang Xiaoqi continued to write: At that time, I had just returned to Jiang's house, and they all laughed at me behind my back for being pretentious and old-fashioned, and played tricks on me.Only you are willing to be my friend. That day you borrowed the bathroom in my room to take a bath, and I lent you the bathrobe to wear. You sat in the room and chatted with me in my bathrobe after taking a shower, until someone called It was only after the banquet that I reluctantly left.

Zhou Wei couldn't stand it anymore, hid her face, got up, and was dragged back by Jiang Xiaoqi.The two squeezed into the gap between the sofa and the coffee table, shoulder to shoulder, breathing entangled.

Jiang Xiaoqi: Later Uncle Zhou handed you over to me, because at that time you didn't listen to anyone but me.So others don't know how obedient you are... well, very good, very good!

Jiang Xiaoqi: We live in this house, go to school together, do homework together, you like to eat the food I cook, and you like to sleep on my lap.You used to be very afraid of the dark, and there were frequent power outages here. When the power was out, you could only fall asleep next to me. When I walked away, you hugged the quilt and called Seventh Brother Seventh Brother...

Zhou Wei snatched his pen, and most of the short romance essays had been written on the crumpled paper, and he was planning to compete with Huang Zhizi for a part-time job.

This big liar is too good at making up, right?He turned a short-answer question into an exaggerated discussion, telling right and wrong, pointing at a deer as a horse, simply frantic and doing everything he can!

Jiang Xiaoqi showed off his half-guessed sign language again: You, still think, ask, what?

Zhou Wei lowered her eyes and fell silent for a while, then wrote: If we are so good, why do you still have to leave?When you leave, are you sure I will wait for you?What if I forget you like now?

This time Jiang Xiaoqi's sign language was clear and proficient: I'm sorry.

Zhou Wei was visibly agitated, he struggled to get up and no longer wanted any answers.

Jiang Xiaoqi hugged him from behind, took his earphones to help him put them on, and the two of them entangled and tore each other in the narrow aisle.

"Xiaowei, I'm sorry, it doesn't matter if you forgot, let's start over, shall we?"

Zhou Wei struggled, and the earphones still couldn't be put on properly, so he squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, covered his ears, and curled up into a ball.

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't dare to force him any more, so he had to gently run along his back beside him, and stuffed a small note in the past.

The first one: what is uncomfortable?Have a headache?Do you want to see a doctor?Zhou Wei shook his head.

The second picture: Let’s just leave it like this, take your time, don’t think about it.Zhou Wei got up to go to the bathroom, the sound of rushing water rang for a long time, Jiang Xiaoqi leaned outside the door and finished smoking a cigarette.

The next day, the bid evaluation meeting of Shuiyue Changan was on site.

There are many bidders for this project, and the well-known companies in the industry have all come to stretch their feet. The members of the bid evaluation committee invited also brought experts with the title of academicians. There is no whole day that can't be finished at all.

AOI drew No. 5, You Ting glanced at Jiang Xiaoqi who was sitting beside him in formal attire: "It's my uncle's."

Jiang Xiaoqi's phone vibrated, he lowered his head to unlock it, and saw the message from that group: 【Mr. Jiang, the young master is missing! 】
