if you serious you lose

As soon as Qin Jie stepped into "Relief of Worry", he found that the feeling was different from the last night. This time there were some customers in the store, but they were all sitting in the cubicle in twos and threes, and a special tea master was in charge of making tea.

After taking a good look around the teahouse, Qin Jie found that the place where he sat last time was only a small area in the center of the teahouse, where there was a huge tea table, where Lin Yuan brewed white tea for him.

In fact, there is still a lot of space around, divided into a dozen semi-open compartments, but the lights in the teahouse were not fully turned on that night, so I didn't pay attention to the overall structure.

Looking at it now, the superior geographical orientation allows daytime sunlight to shine into the interior through the ingeniously designed hollow windows, making the teahouse with black peach wood as the main decoration not only not appear gloomy, but adds a sense of mystery.

Even the dark-colored uniforms of the tea masters are exquisitely designed, and the uncomplicated totem embroidery is set off by the red and gold border lines, which looks solemn and lively.

At this time, the waiter of the teahouse came forward and asked Qin Jie whether to choose a cubicle or a private room. Only then did Qin Jie know that there was a second floor of the teahouse, and there were really closed private rooms on it.

Qin Jie explained to the waiter that he was looking for Lin Yuan. The other party said a few words with the walkie-talkie on his body, and then took him to a private room on the second floor. This time, Lin Yuan was caressing guqin.

Still dressed in black, but replaced by a long gown made of silk, coupled with the simple and melodious sound of the piano, Qin Jie really felt that he had time-traveled for a moment.

"Mr. Qin, it's a great honor for you to visit me again."

Lin Yuan got up and walked towards Qin Jie slowly, with his trademark smile.

"I've always wanted to come, but I couldn't find the time before. I drank too much yesterday, so I came here today to see if I can come to your place to ask for a cup of hangover tea to refresh myself."

"Hangover tea, no problem, you wait in this room for a while, I'll go and prepare it."

"Okay, then I will trouble Boss Lin."

After a while, Lin Yuan returned to the private room holding a pot-shaped container, and took out a delicate stove from the cabinet in the private room, lit it, and placed the container on the stove.

"Mr. Qin, I've been waiting for a long time. I have to wait for a while for the hangover tea. I just went to get the ingredients, and now I'm going to cook it for you. Don't you mind waiting?"

Looking at Lin Yuan's every move, Qin Jie had to admit that this man had a refined temperament and a particularly elegant manner. From the moment he entered the door, Qin Jie felt that he was watching a good old movie, and the identity of the teahouse owner was set very well. suits him.

"Boss Lin is too polite. I was the one to be abrupt. I didn't even know that the hangover tea would take so much effort. The last time I saw that gentleman came, you brought him tea. It seems I misunderstood."

"It turned out to be like this. I knew that Lu Shao was going to have a banquet that day, so I made tea in advance."

"The relationship between Boss Lin and that Law Young Master is indeed very good."

"After all, I grew up together. I actually don't have many friends. Young Master Lu is the only one."

"Boss Lin really knows how to joke. You are humble and have an outstanding temperament. How can you lack friends? I always think that people who can do business are very sociable."

"It's just a business relationship, and there are not many people who can really talk to each other. Lin thinks that Mr. Qin is the type of person who is popular. You must have many friends. I don't know what Mr. Qin's occupation is. ? Ah, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say it, just treat me as rude." Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"What's so impolite, I teach at a university. By the way, Boss Lin, don't call me Mr. Qin, just call me Qin Jie. If Boss Lin saves face, we will make friends and come to you often for tea in the future , I can recommend some brothers to come if I have the opportunity, but they are all rough people, and they may not know how to taste tea, but this kind of elegant place can also improve their quality."

Qin Jie's words made Lin Yuan show a gentle and slightly shy smile. He felt that he and this Lin Yuan really hit it off, so he also hoped to make friends.

"Mr. Qin, ah no, Qin Jie, it is my good fortune to be friends with you, then you can call me Lin Yuan, you are welcome to bring friends, your friends must be easy to get along with. Also, no wonder I I feel that there is a different feeling in you, so it turns out that you have a scholarly demeanor."

Lin Yuan also had a good impression of the cheerful man in front of him, who was surprisingly able to talk to him even though he had only met a few times. Before, he was curious about this man's demeanor, but he always had a gentle and bookish demeanor. Now that he knew the other's occupation It also makes sense.

"Oh, what kind of scholarly demeanor, where is it so exaggerated, I am a teacher, and what I teach is the most realistic economy, not a scholar who studies transcendental knowledge."

Qin Jie was amused by Lin Yuan's description. Although he was indeed on an academic path, he always felt that there was still a big gap between himself and the kind of scholar who was dedicated to research in his mind.

After drinking the wine-clearing tea, Lin Yuan brewed some other teas for Qin Jie to taste.

Before leaving, Qin Jie was about to pay the bill, but Lin Yuan stopped him and said that the tea was a testimony of their friendship, but Lin Yuan couldn't hold back, so Qin Jie accepted it, and finally left "Shiyou" with a good mood.

"Qin Jie!"

Although it was the weekend, Qin Jie decided to go back to school to check some information. As soon as he entered the university, he was stopped by someone. When he turned his head, Qin Jie was a little stunned. It was actually Xia Yuan who stopped him.

"I heard that you have returned to China and are still working as a lecturer in our school. So it is true."

Xia Yuan hasn't changed much, she's still beautiful, but the aura of repelling others from thousands of miles away has faded, and what's even more rare is that Xia Yuan's smile is very bright at this time.

"Xia Yuan, long time no see. I just came back. I wanted to find a chance to meet you. We all work in the same place and are old classmates. I thought I would ask you to guide me in the future."

"What is it to guide or not? You are so adaptable, and you will soon be better than me. Are you free later, how about having dinner together?"

I really didn't expect that the introverted Xia Yuan would take the initiative to invite, and it was even harder for Qin Jie to refuse, and there was no reason to refuse. After making an appointment for a time and place, the two went off to their own affairs for the time being.

Strolling on the once-familiar but now unfamiliar boulevards on the campus, you will be surrounded by young and energetic faces. Even on weekends, there are quite a few students staying in the school, many of them are couples.

Qin Jie looked at the college students around him, and couldn't help but think of the days when he and Xia Yuan were together. Since Xia Yuan didn't like to go out, the two of them usually went for a walk on campus and chatted, or went to the library together study.

Thinking about it now, dating at that time was really monotonous, but I should be very happy, Qin Jie shook his head, stopped thinking too much about college, and strode to the library, ready to hurry up and search for information Gain something before the dinner appointment time.

The dinner they made an appointment for was a western restaurant not far from the university. Qin Jie looked at Xia Yuan who was sitting across from him, and suddenly understood why he felt that Lin Yuan was kinder. The two had a similar feeling.

After all, Xia Yuan was the object of his heart, and he had known him for so many years.

The more important thing is that the two people's personalities are in harmony, so that they can still hope to keep this friend even after they can't be lovers.

But for Lin Yuan, Qin Jie actually didn't have much feeling about that aspect. People are all visual animals, and he is also a man. He never denies that there are some appearance associations. Yuan is still so easy to get along with.

"Xia Yuan, you have successfully stayed in school and become a university teacher. Congratulations. You love mathematics research so much. You must have achieved quite a lot in academics these years."

Qin Jie took the initiative to open the chatter box, and also wanted to know about Xia Yuan's current situation.

"Thank you, it's not an achievement, but I do have a project I want to research, but I still have to work harder. You know, the research environment in colleges and universities is actually not very good, and there are more and more problems. It hinders the application, review, and even the final evaluation of the project, in short, I don’t dare to think too much, let’s do my own research, and achieve something, just follow the fate.”

"Hahaha, don't say that, I am very glad to know you as a math freak. In the future, I will still have to rely on your guidance for the mathematics involved in my research. Thinking of having you as my backer, I feel that my academic career is bright. You Also, if there is anything that needs my support, just speak up if you don’t dislike it.”

"What nonsense, how could I despise you. However, Qin Jie, I was quite surprised at the beginning that you would take the research route. I always thought you were the kind of person who would make a living in a big company. But now it seems , I think you are very suitable. You study knowledge in the field of social sciences. In addition, when I was in college, I found that although you always said that you are not good at mathematics and that you don’t study professional subjects in depth, in fact, your ability to understand, innovate You are very capable, and you can understand many questions just by saying it once, and you can also ask many professional math questions that even I am stunned sometimes. In short, I also congratulate you, you will definitely be like you when you come back from a prestigious school Said the future is bright."

"Hey, have I ever stumped you? Why didn't I find out? You knew everything at the time. In my eyes, you were the reincarnation of Hua Luogeng and Chen Jingrun. Your praise is very useful to me. I will go further and further on the road of research. farther away."

A little estrangement from the first meeting unknowingly dissipated during the conversation. Qin Jie and Xia Yuan began to review their college experience and also talked about the years when they were separated. The atmosphere of the chat was very harmonious until Xia Yuan's boyfriend Kaorin's phone rang.

"It's Gao Ling, right? How do you get along? After all these years, you must have gotten better and better?"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yuan seemed a little embarrassed, and Qin Jie simply took the initiative to ask about the relationship between the two.

"Well, we are doing well now. His temper is not so tough. He is willing to discuss many things with me. I am very satisfied."

"That's good. Gao Ling has a good personality and is reliable. It's normal for you to find a suitable way to get along."

After getting acquainted with Gao Ling, he discovered his sincerity towards Xia Yuan and his shining points that cannot be ignored. Even Qin Jie had to admit in his heart that there was something Xia Yuan was attached to in him, and Gao Ling was Xia Yuan. Meta really needs people.

So, after that period of self-deceived fighting and waiting, Qin Jie managed to send his blessings in a chic manner, and left resolutely.

Now that I think about it, I probably have made such a psychological preparation long ago, and I have been pulling away from myself a little bit in this vacillating relationship.

"What about you, do you have a date? I..."

And Xia Yuan, in fact, has always felt sorry for Qin Jie, especially after he blessed himself and Gao Ling so generously, and hoped that he could find his own belonging, but he regretted it when he asked.

"I'm single, but hurry up, I'm actively looking for another half now, don't worry, I'm still more popular."

"Well, I know, I wish you to find someone who is truly worthy of your love and who knows how to cherish you as soon as possible, Qin Jie, really, I am sincere."

Xia Yuan remembered the scene when Qin Jie said his blessing to him seven years ago and decided to let go completely. At that moment, he really felt that he was really too selfish and owed too much to this man.

Therefore, he has always been bad at communicating with people, and from time to time he will take the initiative to find his classmates in college, and always hope to hear from his friends that Qin Jie is doing well, and even has a really good person by his side. .

"Xia Yuan, don't worry, really, I'll be fine, you just concentrate on managing your relationship with Gao Ling, don't disappoint my sacrifice, haha!"

How could it be possible for Qin Jie not to know Xia Yuan's thoughts? In fact, although he was the one who was directly hurt by the past feelings, it has already passed. Instead, what he cares about is not himself, but those friends who think of the past when they see him With his family, Qin Jie always felt that he didn't know how to make everyone feel at ease.

After bidding farewell to Xia Yuan, Qin Jie went home to wash up and go to bed. This meeting also made him let go of a stone in his heart. It seems that he can still get along well with Xia Yuan in the future, and that is enough.
