Know what I mean

It seemed that the previous words were all prepared for this question. Shen Duoyi finally realized that he had been being guided by the other party. He was a little depressed, and he analyzed and recommended enthusiastically. Qi Shi'an blocked the door to prevent him from going out.

Qi Shi'an had an insight into what Shen Duo was thinking, and explained: "I'm really going to buy it, and I won't let you talk nonsense."

"That's reasonable." In this case, Shen Duoyi was neither angry nor bored, and asked resignedly, "Then where are we going for dinner?"

Qi Shi'an immediately walked away from the door: "How was the summer restaurant last time, why don't you go there again?" Shen Duoyi came out, walked to the parking lot with the other party, and replied: "It's all good, I don't choose."

The car was sent by the driver to the garage for maintenance, and Qi Shi'an had been spinning almost continuously for two days and one night. According to the regulations, he could not drive fatigued, so he sat in the passenger seat of the black Volkswagen again.Shen Duoyi started the car and drove away from the end of Zhongyang Street. There was basically no sound on the road. Occasionally, when he turned right, he caught a glimpse of Qi Shian yawning in his seat.

"Are you sleepy?"

"It's okay, you ignored me again."

"I seldom drive people. I occasionally drive my grandfather out, but I also listen to his nagging."

"I often hear you mention your grandpa. How is the old man?" Qi Shi'an felt that Shen Duoyi should be a very filial person, and also felt that Shen Duoyi must be very gentle when facing the old man.

Shen Duoyi replied: "It's not bad. People in their 70s will suffer from a little bit of illness. They have been taking antihypertensive drugs for more than ten years, and their legs and feet are not so good. Other aspects are not bad."

As he spoke, he turned on the stereo, and then poked it back and forth a few times: "Listen to music? My grandpa likes to listen to operas, so I downloaded a few episodes for him. At least there is something happening."

A piece of opera came out, and the prelude was very long. When the female voice sounded, Qi Shi'an felt even more sleepy. He had nothing to say: "Mr. Zhang Jiqing's "The Peony Pavilion", let's talk about the part about leaving the soul."

Shen Duoyi asked in surprise, "Do you still know opera?"

"I only know the famous ones." Qi Shi'an had already seen the sign of Xia Tian's restaurant, "I'll tell you about it when I eat."

The last welcome meeting was held on the third and fourth floors. This time, two people went to the fifth floor. The fifth floor is a European buffet. There are not many people at night, and the surrounding area is very quiet.They sat down by the window, and between the double-glazed windows was a water curtain that fell in circulation, and through the water curtain, they could vaguely see the opposite street view.

"Sir, do I need to pick up your meal?"

Shen Duoyi took it out by himself after washing his hands, Qi Shi'an was lazy, checked the foreign exchange index chart on his seat, and waited for the waiter to help him by the way.He didn't mute his phone until the table was filled with food.

Shen Duoyi has already seen the appetite of the other party. He ate a few pieces of grilled asparagus, and by the way, he pushed a plate of lamb ribs to Qi Shi'an, meaning "eat more".

Qi Shi'an regarded this meal as a date, and the issue of feeding his hunger was not considered at all. He asked concerned: "Is it delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious." Shen Duoyi organized his words, and he was struggling to be more frank or reserved, "Actually, I don't socialize much. Except for company dinners and meeting friends, I rarely go out to eat."

Although the salary is affordable now, it seems that the living habits have been fixed and I don't really enjoy it.This sentence was a bit embarrassing, Shen Duoyi didn't say it.Qi Shi'an read all kinds of tastes in the expression of the other party's downcast eyes. He remembered that Shen Duoyi needs to add a lot of milk to his coffee, so he passed a small plate in front of him: "Taste this."

Shen Duoyi took a sip: "It's so sweet."

"This is Irish Egg Candy Crispy Roll, the signature dessert." Qi Shi'an looked at Shen Duoyi digging into the cake, "Foreign dishes have long names, but they are basically the same. I don't eat at home, my favorite is actually It's home cooking."

Shen Duoyi joked: "Isn't your favorite thing to drink?"

Qi Shi'an was relieved: "Who did you listen to the rumors?"

"Colleagues say it." Shen Duoyi also laughed, "Speaking of the two senior partners of the company, Mr. Zhang is in love and breaking up with his eyes open and closed, and Mr. Qi is watching the market and drinking in spring, autumn, winter and summer."

Qi Shi'an attributed the responsibility to the location of the Tokyo bar, if it wasn't too close to the company, he wouldn't be seen and discussed again.Listening to Shen Duoyi's sarcasm, he swirled the wine in the glass cooperatively and took a sip.

Finished and said, "When are you going to get me another butterbeer?"

Shen Duoyi was stunned for a moment, fearing that Qi Shi'an would lead the topic into an ambiguous situation, he ate the last bite of cake, and suddenly returned to the topic on the car: "You haven't talked about it yet, what operas do you know?"

Qi Shi'an has learned fighting, shot a gun, is proficient in many sports, and was once addicted to online games.When he is tired, he likes to fall down on the bed and sleep for a long time. When he is bored, he likes to hang out in the bar and bartender. Except for watching the Spring Festival Gala with his grandfather every Spring Festival, he has almost no contact with opera.

"When I was studying abroad, the school held a cultural exchange event, and the Chinese students chose opera." Seeing that Shen Duoyi had put down the knife and fork, he also finished eating. I remembered some of them after watching them, but I only know the famous excerpts.”

We left the restaurant while chatting, and the conversation just ended when we got into the car.Today's weather is not bad, I can distinguish a few scattered stars, and there are few cars in the middle of the night, Qi Shi'an entered his address into the navigation, and it is estimated that he will arrive in a short time.

Shen Duoyi turned on the stereo again, and the unfinished "The Peony Pavilion" flowed out again. He held the steering wheel and galloped on the road, tapped his fingers, and unconsciously tapped the time.

It takes a long time to sing each word, and it takes half a day to finish a sentence. Because of the accent, some words are not even clear.He remembered Boss Shen humming along blindly, and said with a smile: "My grandpa said that listening to dramas can grind one's temper, and jumping a word for a long time will increase patience."

The people next to him didn't move at all, Shen Duoyi turned to look and found that Qi Shi'an had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.After staring at the market all night and having meetings for more than half a day, and dragging him to eat if he didn't go home after work, he must have been extremely tired.

Arriving outside the apartment according to the navigation, Shen Duoyi stopped by the side of the street, hoping to wait for Qi Shi'an to wake up.After waiting for 10 minutes, the man seemed to be getting more and more sleepy, so he could only pat him on the shoulder, "Mr. Qi, you're home."

Qi Shi'an was indeed so sleepy that when he opened his eyes, he forgot Jin Xi He Xi, and just wanted to turn his sight into a dense net, and then firmly bind Shen Duoyi in it.

"The Peony Pavilion" finally sang the last word, and the mournful female voice finally stopped.

Qi Shi'an's voice was hoarse: "Which line do you like best?"

There are too many famous lines in "The Peony Pavilion", just a few lines of "I don't know where the love comes from" can make an article, but Shen Duoyi is not touched by these, his favorite is the line - but May the moon fall and the rebirth lamp be red again.

Because he knew from a young age that there is always hope for people.

The dinner was full, and the content of the chat was also very happy. Shen Duoyi didn't want to bring up sentences mixed with despair and hope at the last moment.He didn't answer for a long time, he just pretended not to understand Qi Shi'an's question, but he didn't realize that his expression and wink had already betrayed him.

Qi Shi'an didn't want to ask questions, so he took out his mobile phone after unfastening his seat belt, and dialed the number.When Shen Duoyi's cell phone on the dashboard vibrated, he said, "I haven't told you my number, save it."

After Qi Shi'an finished speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car, and walked straight to the door of the apartment. The trees on the side of the street covered the street lights, and within a few steps, no one could be seen.Shen Duoyi saved the number, started the car and turned around to go home.

It is said that the economic development of a city can be judged by looking at the night view.At this time, the streets are empty, every high-rise building is full of lights, and the neon lights seem a bit redundant.The unremarkable black Volkswagen was driving on the road, and the not-so-spacious compartment was illuminated brightly.

Shen Duoyi drove into the Wenhu apartment amidst the bustling night scene, but when he entered the parking lot, he had to bear a huge drop.The voice-activated lights in the parking lot are a bit dim, and there are cars all around, and there is no aesthetic feeling at all.

Driving into the empty parking space little by little, Shen Duoyi turned off the engine and pulled out the key.He remembered that time when he had an argument with Qi Shi'an at the Xia Tian restaurant, and he sat in the car to counsel himself when he came back. He also went to the Xia Tian restaurant today, but his mood was very different. He even remembered the sweet taste of the egg candy crispy rolls.

With a "click", the seat belt was undone and pulled out, and the lights in the parking lot were also turned off at the same time.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness and silence, save for the sound of his own breathing.Shen Duoyi stretched out his hand to the instrument panel and fumbled for the cell phone thrown on it. He was not afraid of the dark or the silence, but he was afraid that such an atmosphere would destroy his good mood tonight.

Finally touched the phone, he immediately turned on the screen, but found a message sent on the way.

The darkness has not faded, and the silence has not been broken by any sound. Shen Duoyi was lying on the steering wheel and talking to the phone that day. At this moment, he is holding the phone and staring at the screen in a daze.

Qi Shi'an was so tired that he didn't even bother to turn on the headlights when he entered the door. He went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and brush his teeth. After a quick fight, he fell down on the bed and met Zhou Gong.He had several incomplete dreams in a row, as if he had been drunk.

There was a meeting in the dream, and the ashtray on the conference table was full of cigarette butts. Didn’t he quit?The computer and the projector made annoying noises together, and the traders on both sides all looked solemn, and he turned his head to look at the latest market prices.

Damn, the foreign exchange market has crashed across the board.

Just as he was about to get angry, the scene had changed. He went to the car dealership to pick up the McLaren, and found that Shen Duoyi had sent the car for repairs, so he drove away the McLaren and dragged Shen Duoyi away.

After walking around Zhongyang Street, Shen Duoyi said that he wanted to eat the cake from the summer restaurant.

There were only the two of them on the entire fifth floor, and Shen Duoyi concentrated on nibbling on the crispy rolls on the plate, while he sat opposite and drank a glass of butter beer.After drinking to the bottom of the wine glass, he finally couldn't help asking: "You won't give me a sip?"

Feeling sorry, Shen Duoyi leaned over and fed the last piece into his mouth.

The thick curtains were not drawn, and the moonlight flooded the room. Qi Shi'an was sleeping soundly on the mattress, his brows gradually relaxed from frowning, and he uttered a few words of nonsense from time to time.

Shen Duoyi also forgot to draw the curtains, although it doesn't matter if his curtains are closed.It was past three o'clock in the morning, and the bedside lamp was still on. He leaned against the pillow and was dazed, not knowing that his eyes were red.

Closing his eyes is all that information, like a set of big data that he can't figure out, passing through his mind without order.He obviously didn't say anything, why Qi Shi'an seemed to know everything.

It was dawn, and Shen Duoyi finally couldn't hold it anymore, closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep.The screen of the mobile phone next to the pillow changed from bright to dark, and the line of words on the screen had been read countless times.

It was the first message Qi Shi'an sent him.

"I want to accompany you to watch the moon fall and the rebirth lamp turn red again."
