***

Liang Ziqian is very annoying recently.

Because of the tax reform, he was stuck in New York for more than two months and had no time to leave for a day.Although he sent his men and soldiers to divide into two groups, respectively squatting and watching at Mitsui's house in London and Tokyo, without any slack for a moment, he never got any news about Yan Ge.

His patience was gradually reaching the limit.

Yan Ge is a thorn in his heart. The intense pain at the time was still aching and has not faded away, but now it penetrates the heart, liver and lungs, overturning all logical and rational obsessions The yelling went deep into his bones, which already instigated him to voluntarily give up the possibility of pulling out this long thorn and being alone.

He wanted Yan Ge, not only because of possessiveness, the long toss and turns made him restless day and night, but also because Yan Ge abandoned him without saying anything, this matter was fundamentally unacceptable to him , It was like hollowing out one's heart, the throbbing pain was so severe that one couldn't stand upright, the pain was so painful that it almost knocked him down and knocked him unconscious, and then dragged him into the cold pool of collapse...

He really failed this time, Liang Ziqian thought hard.

He had finally fallen into the hands of the person he had used the most in his life but who he loved the most and couldn't extricate himself from.

***

The sky on the island was slightly dark, and it happened to be dinner time.

Yan Ge set up a low table in the backyard, found a small porcelain pot out of nowhere, put an alcohol stove under it, poured some white wine into the pot, and threw a large piece of cheese into the pot when the wine was hot.

swoosh-

The porcelain pot slowly heated up, melting and immersing the cheese cubes into the wine juice little by little. Yan Ge twisted a steel fork to stir slowly, and twisted some basil and salt grains into it from time to time. The cheese in it gradually becomes thicker, and the aroma of sparkling wine is overflowing. The orange-yellow orange color makes people's index fingers move.

Su Shangxi opened the balcony door, and holding an iron pan in heat-resistant gloves, she poked her head out and asked. "The baguette is baked, what else do you want?"

Yan Ge stirred the porcelain pot with one hand and patted the bamboo mat with the other, urging with a smile. "Come on, the cheese is ready."

Su Shangxi responded, then closed the door with her hand back, and walked to a stone platform by the swimming pool that was about ten inches above the ground with the plate in her hand.

He carefully placed the bread plate on the low table, took off his gloves and put them on the side of the table, then took off his shoes and stepped on the stone platform with bare feet, stretched out the bamboo mat and sat down slowly.

The stone platform was originally used as a barbecue platform for barbecue during decoration, and it is surrounded by frosted tiles, which is just enough to place a whole set of barbecue utensils.However, since the Cao family hadn't come to live in the house after the house was built, the table hadn't been used in time, so the top was bare and there were no tables and chairs prepared.

Yan Ge was on a whim today. He saw that Su Shangxi could not leave the island except to eat and talk with him every day, and the two of them would go to the supermarket occasionally. Most of the time they stayed at home, Su Shangxi spent most of their time holding hands. The book recites lines silently, or writes songs and changes scores at the computer desk, often sitting for hours.

Doing something you like is a very happy thing for anyone, especially if this hobby has been upgraded to a career fortunately.

Su Shangxi is a talented young man, and there is something special about him that most young people do not have.

—He is a very, very patient man.

Patience may not sound like a big deal, but in the core values ​​of modern society that worships power and money, fast-paced pursuit of success and extreme material worship, patience is the most rare noble and virtue.There are too many temptations and shortcuts in the age of material desires. People of rank and file form a pyramid. From top to bottom, all kinds of eagerness for quick success and quick gains are born. A race of people who use ploys to reach their 'goals' of prosperity.

In fact, for this kind of people, Yan Ge is not disgusted by killing them all. After all, people have their own ambitions, and no one can interfere with other people's lives, right?

It's just an old saying: Indifference leads to bright ambitions, and tranquility leads to long-distance.

Before meeting Mr. Su with his own eyes, he had to admit that he would never have imagined that such a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth and does not dream or seek in the world really exists.

Yan Ge really couldn't help giving a secret compliment, and praised Teacher Xiao Su for being a beautiful child who has no desires and desires but is willing to keep his feet on the ground.

He is so quiet and far away, he doesn't like the bustle and doesn't hear the hustle and bustle, which completely gives people a pure and ethereal feeling that the six roots are clean and almost non-human.

But thinking of this, Yan Ge couldn't help but turned to worry again; he saw Su Shangxi's temperament was so quiet, like a pool of lake water frozen into ice in the deep winter, it was inevitable that after a long time, he would be too quiet The ups and downs make people feel a lot of indifference, coupled with his disdain for shrewdness in matters of the world, it can be said that he is unique in the entertainment industry.Although Cao Sheng, the big Buddha, is standing in front of him to protect him, but if one day Cao Sheng is not around and Su Shangxi has no one to protect him, something difficult will happen to him Come on, how can that be good... Then again, Su Shangxi is such a calm and indifferent artist, but his enthusiasm index is negative, and his emotional intelligence will be one-tenth of his appearance An orthodox literary youth, how does he get along with Cao Sheng, that unreasonable living king of Hades...?

A shallow "Chuan" creased between Yan Ge's brows, and he held the steel fork in his right hand and poked it on the bone plate. A piece of white bread covered with cheese was pierced on the tip of the fork, and gradually dissipated with the hot white smoke. , the cheese has solidified slightly.

Su Shangxi raised her head inadvertently, and looked at Yan Ge's lowered eyes with an absent-minded look. "What's the matter, is it cold outside? How about I move the table back." Yan Ge's body is weak recently, his limbs are cold and he coughs all the time at night, Su Shangxi knows this.

In the middle of the night half a month ago, Yan Ge coughed so badly that he couldn't hold his breath and his face turned blue. He stayed by Yan Ge's side all night to feed water and medicine, and Yan Ge didn't get better even after tossing until the early morning. Finally, he coughed up all the medicine and water that he had swallowed.Su Shangxi was so anxious that she had no choice but to ignore Yan Ge to stop him, and ran all the way to the private clinic on the island to find a night doctor, but when the doctor came to see it, he only went into the room and gave Yan Ge a stethoscope. After checking for a while, only ten minutes before and after, without even prescribing the medicine, the doctor left the yard where they lived in haste.

The two fell asleep the next day, and Yan Ge's condition improved a lot. He said to Su Shangxi embarrassedly that he had caught a cold and became confused last night, unexpectedly it troubled him all night.In fact, it is just an ordinary cough, and the place is a bit uncomfortable, so it is not a big deal, so don't take it to heart.He also specially told Su Shangxi that Cao Sheng and Cao Yu are busy now, so don't tell them if his illness is not a problem, so as not to cause trouble for them, and next time if he coughs violently again, he doesn't have to run out Ask the doctor to give him two bottles of cough drops.

Of course, Su Shangxi could sense that Yan Ge's illness was definitely not as light as he said, ordinary cough... What ordinary cough can cough up to vomiting blood and make people pass out?Even if it's really uncomfortable because of acclimatization, it's not that I haven't adapted to it after three months, but I'm getting sicker and sicker.

Su Shangxi sighed quietly, and looked at Yan Ge's thinning figure very seriously.

He had asked many times about Yan Ge's illness, but Yan Ge always refused to tell the truth, and every time he just evaded it with a few sentences.They live on a small island and there is no big hospital around, and the medicines are not as complete as outside, and Yan Ge's identity is sensitive now, rashly going outside to find a hospital to register for medical treatment will definitely cause trouble.Besides, Yan Ge has been covering up his illness and hiding it from everyone around him. If he is asked to leave the island for medical treatment at this time, he will definitely refuse.

Su Shangxi was also anxious. He was not sure what kind of illness Yan Ge had, whether it was important or not, and if he kept procrastinating, would his life be endangered?What's more, he doesn't have a very thorough method to send Yan Ge out of the island, and let him see the illness first under the premise of ensuring that he is safe. What's more difficult is that he can't talk about Yan Ge at all...

Yan Ge's temperament is the most typical one-sidedness, if he decides on one thing, there is no possibility of changing his mind easily.Yan Ge insists on this, and Su Shangxi has no choice. Think about Mr. Su, a weak man, who can't speak out against Yan Ge. He is alone by Yan Ge's side, so he can't really knock Yan Ge out with a stick. Then carry it to the hospital?

Teacher Su was really depressed because of this matter, and didn't sleep well for several nights.

In the end, he was so upset that he could only put the whole story back to the original, picked up the important part and informed Cao Sheng who was inspecting and accepting the real estate project in Guangdong at that time.

He asked Cao Sheng to quickly find a way to take Yan Ge out and send him to a better hospital for regular treatment. If it really doesn't get in the way, he will be cured sooner and be sure. Don't always tell him to carry him when he is sick. Worried, if it is really a disease that cannot be cured... then it will be even more difficult.

He told Cao Sheng very cautiously that Yan Ge's current symptoms did not seem to be new symptoms in the past two or three months, and should have a long history of illness...

After hearing what Su Shangxi said, Cao Sheng was silent for a long time.

He didn't ask Su Shangxi's ambiguous prospect summary in a few sentences earlier, and he didn't even ask "Why did you go to Po Island with Yan Ge and still live at my grandfather's house".When Cao Sheng heard about Yan Ge's illness, he didn't mention anything else. He just told Su Shangxi to be waiting for him there. He immediately contacted Po Island Central Hospital and flew to Singapore this week.

After all, he found someone who could make up his mind for Yan Ge, which made Su Shangxi's hanging heart relax a little bit.

He also knew that the sutra in Yan Ge's hand was far beyond his imagination, but he was worried about Yan Ge and his consideration simply from the perspective of a good friend, and he didn't want such a rare good person to be accepted again. Fate frustrates...

***

Last night, the small island slowly blew the sea breeze, blowing away a faint layer of mist on the night.

The shadow of the moon is silver and white, the night is soft and flashy, and the bright and clear sky is full of stars.

Su Shangxi moved the cheese pot that was about to dry out with a tablecloth, and put it on the stone floor to cool. Yan Ge picked up a small porcelain bowl, pinched it slightly with his slender fingers, and slowly covered it on the alcohol stove.

The fire in the stove has been used almost dry, and when the oil is exhausted and the lamp is finally dry, just lightly cover it with something, and it will be completely extinguished by itself without any more effort.

The faint light of the flame seemed to light up in Yan Ge's pupils for an instant, but as the spark died out, the light in his eyes also instantly returned to calm, as if it had never existed.

Yan Ge stared at the empty furnace intently, but suddenly closed his eyes after a while, and smiled slightly.

Su Shangxi bent down to get tea, but did not see this scene.

He poured a cup of Pu'er mixed with chrysanthemums and put it in front of Yan Ge, then took the cup he was drinking just now and put it aside.

Yan Ge smelled the fragrance of tea, so he smiled and opened his eyes. "You said that if Cao Da saw you taking care of me so carefully, would he be jealous?"

Unexpectedly, Su Shangxi didn't raise her head, she said without changing her expression while filling her cup with tea. "He usually eats vinegar from tables and chairs at home, I'm used to it."

"Really?" Yan Ge bit his lip and suppressed a smile.

Su Shangxi hummed, put down the teapot, nodded, and said. "A few years ago for my birthday, a brother gave me a pet turtle as a gift. I thought that little thing was fun and not noisy, so I kept it for three or four years. Every time I caught up with the stage play tour , when there is a long monologue to recite in the script, it is inconvenient for me to read it in the background, so I go home and read it to the tortoise. After a long time, I have developed a habit. Later, Cao Sheng moved in. He thought I was not usually I paid attention to him, and said that I was reciting lines to the back of a tortoise, obviously I didn't pay enough attention to him, and I didn't bother to talk to him before and didn't argue with him. As a result, when I came home from the performance one night, there were only a few turtles left in the glass tank for raising the tortoise. The weeds are gone, and I asked Cao Sheng what happened. He said that he had a dream. In the dream, there was a bastard chasing and biting him. His heel was bleeding from the bite. So when he woke up from the dream, he took me The turtle was packed in a lunch box, pulled to Houhai and released.”

Yan Ge heard a black thread in his head, and quietly supported the wall in his heart... (___)ノ｜; he thought to himself, is this just asking the turtle to sit in the tank, and the pot comes from the sky?Little cutie, go on down-to-earth, Houhai is big enough for you to play in the water and bask in the sun, may you escape from the clutches of the clutches and come back as a young boy, Amitabha × 3...

Su Shangxi took a sip of tea slowly, holding the teacup with both hands, and blinked lightly behind the curling water vapor.

Yan Ge propped his chin, his straight little nose raised slightly upwards, he looked in the opposite direction thoughtfully, but he avoided Su Shangxi's place alone.

"Cao Da is a bit irritable, but I have known him for so many years, and you are really the first one who can make him care about this, Teacher Xiao Su."

Su Shangxi was silent for a moment when she heard the words, then unconsciously hugged her left arm with her right hand. "If I tell you, I actually don't want him to fall in love with me, I just want to live my own life..."

Yan Ge stared at him blankly.

Su Shangxi shook her head and smiled calmly. "Forget it, maybe it's my fate, it's okay or not." After speaking, he looked up at the sky. "...Why, why can't people live in the way they like? Why don't you ask me if I want something that is forced on me."

***

Yan Ge's lips trembled slightly, and he stared straight at Su Shangxi, as if his heart had been tightly squeezed.

He thought hard for a while before opening his mouth slowly. "Cao Sheng...isn't that kind of person."

Su Shangxi was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked at Yan Ge, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I'm not lying to you, and I'm not saying good things for Cao Sheng. Yes, he did a lot of ridiculous things in the past, and he also acted very strong and domineering towards you. But he likes you very, very much. You should be able to feel it. You don’t want to accept the influence of his feelings on you now, because those things were not chosen by you, but forced into you by him breaking into your world. Of course, you will have resistance You have to remember that you always have the right to choose whether to accept him or not, and whether to be with him or not. This is your freedom. No matter how unreasonable or overbearing Cao Sheng is, he has no right to replace him. You make the decision!"

Su Shangxi was shocked, as if shocked by Yan Ge's words, he opened his mouth slightly, and then hesitated. "I……"

Yan Ge lowered his tone at this time, and his speed of speech was not as aggressive as before. "However, I also want you to think about it carefully. If Cao Sheng gave you [-]% sincerity, and can respect you in the future, and won't force or force you like a bully, then you still have to Will you resist him? Are you really intolerable or even unbearable to look at him?"

Su Shangxi didn't answer, but quietly lowered her head.

Yan Ge said softly. "These are the hurdles that you have to face in your life. No matter how it came about, you have to face it now that you have come. You have to think carefully, make a choice carefully, and then give yourself the most satisfactory answer."

Mr. Yan, the life mentor, has not delivered such a long and such a long personal speech in the style of chicken soup mixed with poisonous milk. After finally finishing the speech, he is already so tired that his mouth is dry and his eyes are staring at gold stars.

Yan Ge raised the cup of tea just now, afraid of being too hot to drink, so he could only take small sips to moisten his throat.

Su Shangxi was silent for a long time, and suddenly his heart was full of confusion. He was in a state of extremely confused thoughts and a mess in his mind that he couldn't make sense of... and asked Yan Ge in a panic. "What about President Liang, Liang Ziqian?"

Yan Ge's hand trembled suddenly.

"Did you run away from him because you resisted him?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Yan Ge hurriedly put down his cup, covered his mouth and coughed several times.

Seeing this, Su Shangxi quickly got up and went to give him a hand, and got a bottle of distilled water from under the stone platform, unscrewed the lid and handed it to Yan Ge to drink.

"It's all right, thank you..." Yan Ge stopped coughing after a few coughs, took a gulp from the water bottle, held the bottle between his fingers, stretched out his wrist and wiped his mouth.

Su Shangxi slowly sat back on the table, with a somewhat worried expression still on his face, after he cleared his mind and thought about it carefully, he really regretted asking Yan Ge that way just now,

Yan Ge saw that he was silent with his head down, and guessed that the coughing just now frightened Teacher Su.

Taking advantage of Su Shangxi's distraction, Yan Ge raised his neck secretly, swallowed with tension in his throat, and swallowed the fishy mouthful from the bottom of his throat...

"You asked me just now, did you run away from Liang Ziqian because you were against him?"

Su Shangxi raised her head abruptly.

Yan Ge slowly curled up one leg, put his arms across his knees, and beat his chest with bang, bang, bang, his expression gradually froze after a while.

"Xiao Yan?" Su Shangxi called him quietly at this time.

Yan Ge was pulled back for a moment, then subconsciously tilted his head.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his arms trembling slightly. "I didn't hide because I resisted him, I hid because... I was afraid."

Su Shangxi was stunned immediately, and unconsciously opened her eyes wide to look at Yan Pavilion. "Afraid...? Why?"

Yan Ge hesitated for a moment, put down his hands and said flatly. "There are too many impure things between me and Liang Ziqian. These things are lying in front of us, and they are all hurdles that cannot be overcome. The relationship between him and me or me and him is too weak. He came to me by using me, how much of it is true and how much is false, to put it bluntly, I am not sure at all," Yan Ge laughed softly, and said while laughing at him. "I'm even a little skeptical now, wondering if he really loved me."

***

At one o'clock in the afternoon in New York time, the door to the central meeting room of Morgan's headquarters opened.

Liang Ziqian's figure appeared in front of the meeting room. He was wearing a gray-blue suit, with a slender and tall figure, casting a thick reflection on the glazed tile floor.

President Liang Da had a deep complexion, bright and stern eyes, holding the tax insurance list in one hand, and strutting with the other in his pocket. At this time, he was walking slowly towards the gate.

Behind him are the most experienced senior economic analysts in the investment department of the Morgan head office. The group has held meetings in the past two days in order to promote these few to the National Economic Council. The top talent involved in tax reform finds a leader who is big enough and manageable.

In the end, this matter still fell on Liang Ziqian's head.

Originally, I wanted to say that when such a good thing happened, others would have been happy already.But the old fox is different. He has something on his mind, and what he is thinking about right now is not how to get promoted and get rich. To put it bluntly, after he came back from England...he didn't put his mind on work at all.

Having said that, in fact, the weather in New York today should be said to be very good, less than [-] to [-] degrees, and the sun is sunny and the wind is clear outside.It just happened to be a piece of spring full of greenery everywhere, with a touch of earthy sweetness in the air, and a fresh and penetrating light fragrance from the corners of the city after a night of drizzle.

It's a pity, it's a pity, NYC finally has such a perfect weather that is neither hot nor cold, nor windy, nor rainy; if the God of the United States is so beautiful, it can't save President Liang from falling completely. To the freezing point, the body is full of selective bachelors who are as frozen as ice balls...

Liang Ziqian and several new subordinates parted ways in the elevator. Their offices were on the seventh floor, while Liang Ziqian's was on the second floor of the building.

Several analysts bowed and said goodbye to Liang Ziqian one by one. They accompanied him with smiles throughout the whole process, while President Liang was expressionless throughout.

He stood in the corridor for a while, watching the door of the elevator closing slowly for several people, then he turned around and took a few steps to the west, and pressed the button of the special elevator with a bit of dullness.

While waiting for the elevator, Liang Ziqian was distracted, and the floor notification sounded twice on another floor. As a result, he thought the elevator had arrived both times, so he raised his foot and went forward, almost bumping his head.

Accompanied by a sound of ding, Liang Ziqian remembered to look up at the lower floor...

The elevator door opened slowly, Liang Ziqian lowered his head absent-mindedly and was about to walk in, when suddenly, someone in the elevator shouted '—President! ';

Liang Ziqian froze there immediately.

I saw Kat holding a blackberry in both hands, rushed out of the elevator in a hurry, raised the phone and sent it to Liang Ziqian.

"I found it, I found it!" Kat said happily. "Where did you find Yan Ge people!!"
