Stop loss

Chen Qiye was more familiar with the environment around the school, so he took Lu Chong to a quiet cafe amidst the hustle and bustle.

After taking a seat by the window on the second floor, Chen Qiye looked at the menu carefully, and the waiter first asked Lu Chong what he wanted to order.Lu Chong smiled, and said it would be good if it was the same as Chen Xiye's. Chen Qiye saw Lu Chong's haggard face from the corner of his eyes.

The waiter went down and got ready.Right now is the most leisure time in the restaurant. They are the only table in the rest area on the second floor. The light shining through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is gentle and comfortable. The temperature is just right and the color is just right. The golden light also dyed Chen Xiye's already shallow pupils into pale amber.

Then they looked at each other, feeling that the other had lost weight, and there was something different in their eyes.

After the tea was served, Chen Xiye politely poured it for Lu Chong. It was rare for the two of them to sit at the same table face to face so calmly.

Chen Qiye is not a person who beats around the bush, he is not good at small talk and courteous, so he straight to the point asked Lu Chong why he came to see him.Lu Chong cooperatively didn't use his status to make things difficult for him, but said his intentions bluntly, hoping that Chen Qiye would persuade Qin Ge to visit his mother.

Chen Xiye's hand holding the teacup paused in the air, and his lips were lightly pursed.Lu Chong looked sideways out of the window, recalling the time when he and Qi Miaomiao went to the same high school.

"Wenlin No. [-] Middle School did not perform well in the exam this year. The principal held a meeting and said that students should no longer be released. In the future, they should be on par with those super middle schools with strict academic style. But if we really want to compare, Wen Lin No. [-] Middle School when I was studying It's really impetuous."

Lu Chong said that 20 years ago, Wenlin No. 600 Middle School had just moved to Tongtianmen, and the new campus of more than [-] mu was extremely beautiful.The school spent a lot of money to build a new campus, and the finances were tight, so they opened the back door to rich children like Lu Chong whose grades did not meet the admission threshold, but whose families were not short of money, and gathered them in one class.

But there are still half of the students in this class who come in by grades.Those second-generation people who are either rich or expensive and know each other, in order to appear superior to others, formed a group as soon as they entered school. They were loud and public, and Chunqiu's brushwork gave everyone nicknames. Everyone in the class did not call their classmates by their real names in private, but him. parent's first name.

So "he" became an entrepreneur, "she" was the chairman of the Municipal Women's Federation, "he" worked in the rural fields, and "she" was the nanny of the director's family.

This kind of nickname rule is obviously not acceptable to everyone, but the person who presides over all this has been immersed in the wine table with his father since childhood. He is the most active in the class and can enjoy himself at his age. If someone treats him Arranging for a dissent, he could have completely isolated the man.

Such an arrangement would do more good than harm to Lu Chong.He and those second-generation officials and rich people are the community of interests. Although their grades are not as good as the others in the class, their parents have already paved the way for them. The transfer student poured cold water on him.

When Lu Chong said this, Chen Qiye couldn't help laughing, and said, that person must be Qi Miaomiao.

Um.Lu Chong nodded and said that the reason why Qi Miaomiao did not enroll on time was because she wanted to go abroad very early, but when she finally got the offer, her parents were reluctant and hoped that she would stay in China to study.So Qi Miaomiao was very emotional, and was worried that no one would vent her anger on her. She listened to that person calling her tablemate every day, just like he was calling the tablemate's mother who was a nanny at home. On that person's head, neither humble nor overbearing said: "Don't you have hands yourself?"

No one has ever dared to speak to the director's son in such an uneducated manner. The director's son was shocked, and he didn't want to lose his posture. Donated by his father.

But Qi Miaomiao didn't give in at all, and jokingly said: "Your father, your father, knows to mention your father every day. Why, I wish others would know that you are just a sperm of your father 18 years ago."

The whole class roared with laughter, except the chief's son who was humiliated, and Lu Chong who sat next to the chief's son and dared not move.

"You are nothing without your father." Qi Miaomiao threw the water glass back, but because she was too ruthless to throw it accurately, she threw it into Lu Chong's hand.

That was the encounter between Qi Miaomiao and Lu Chong. If Qi Miaomiao had to remember it by herself, she would not be able to remember clearly, but that day will always be vivid in Lu Chong's memory.

He was still too young at that time, and he didn't understand why Qi Miaomiao could leave such a deep impression on him, but he was just a bystander as always, witnessing Qi Miaomiao buried in his studies; he fell in love with a poor student so early that he almost eloped; Pregnant before marriage with a university lecturer whose family background is like a replica of his first love; and throwing back the question of whether to be the same family or to have grandchildren to his parents, he suddenly realized that when they, the second generation who claim to be better than the starting line, are willing to take care of their parents Under the halo, they are actually mediocre and inferior in nature. Only Qi Miaomiao is not reconciled and wants to run away, escape and resist.

"But now she is in the old house in Tanzhou. She doesn't work, doesn't see visitors, and doesn't even answer my phone calls, so she locks herself up and only wants to talk to her parents."

She felt that she had been betrayed, that the two evils were the lesser of two evils, and she had nowhere to escape but could only go back to the very beginning.

"But her father has brought her too much trauma, and the problem will only get worse if it goes on like this." Lu Chong said: "I have witnessed all her rebellions. I know that once she loses control, she will do anything."

including taking one's own life.

Chen Qiye looked at him and understood a little: "Is this why you love her?"

Love her, have her, you can have experiences you have never had, and the arrogance and arrogance of youth will be forgiven.

"No." Lu Chong looked directly at Chen Qiye and said, I love her.

Love has no reason.

Even after 20 years, her current appearance does not overlap with the shadow of 20 years ago, I still love her.

The teapot no longer steamed.Lu Chong handed Chen Qiye a business card, and Chen Qiye took it hesitantly. He had just read that mathematician's thesis not long ago, and the Ivy League university he worked for was ranked among the top [-] in North American QS.

Lu Chong handed over a credit card in his own name, with a high limit and no password.He is very much like the arrogant mother-in-law in the TV drama who wants to send away her son's partner with money, but he can see the situation clearly. Now everyone is entangled. .

"I'm not here to persuade you to break up." Lu Chong lowered his head slightly, smiled to himself, and looked at Chen Qiye again, with a correct and sincere attitude.

"I know that giving up the top2 student status to study abroad is not worth the loss for Chinese people, but you can study the major you like there, instead of..." Lu Chong, the unpopular orientation major, couldn't even tell the full name.

"If you can be separated for a while, your relationship might...be one step closer, huh?" Lu Chong didn't say nonsense like "distance can produce beauty", and he must have noticed that this long-distance relationship is not inseparable. It was not easy, Qin Ge's desire to control made Chen Qiye a little breathless.

Lu Chong put his voice softly: "You should think about it carefully."

Chen Qiye stared at the business card in English the whole time.His eyelashes were straight and long, and when he half-closed his eyes, he would give people a cold feeling. He fully opened his eyes and looked at Lu Chong opposite, and put away the credit card that was handed over later.

He saw that the corner of Lu Chong's mouth was about to raise, but the arc soon froze.Because he stacked those two cards, the credit card on top.

Lu Chong stared at Chen Qiye and pushed the two cards he had sorted out from the other side of the table back to his side, loosened his fingertips, turned around, and the name on the credit card was facing him.

Return to the original owner.

Lu Chong took a deep breath, and wanted to persuade Chen Qiye not to refuse so quickly, but Chen Qiye spoke first: "Mr. Lu."

Lu Chong met Chen Qiye's eyes again.

Chen Qiye asked: "If you could turn back time and you saw Qi Miaomiao 20 years ago, can you stop her from marrying Qin Siyuan?"

Lu Chong closed his eyes, did not speak, and looked not very confident, as if he had really tried and failed.

"If you don't walk on some roads by yourself, you will become unforgettable thoughts. If you go or go wrong, at least you won't regret the rest of your life." Chen Qiye actually educated adults who are two or three rounds older than himself , he said, "Once you give your heart, losing control is inevitable."

Chen Qiye raised his hand to stop Lu Chong from pushing back the money and resources.He was more thoughtful. With Qin Ge's temperament, if Lu Chong was the sponsor behind Chen Qiye, he would definitely not think in a good way.

But this does not mean that Chen Qiye has no thoughts about the outside world, he began to pay attention to the news of the China Scholarship Council.

After the midterm exam, Chen Qiye went to the school's international office several times, and he really found a suitable exchange program. Although he couldn't go to a higher education institution in North America, he was fully reimbursed for his tuition, air tickets and accommodation, and he still had nearly a thousand dollars a month. The most important thing is that this project is very unpopular, and thu students can go as long as they sign up.

This was one of the few good news for Chen Qiye in recent days. Instead of telling Qin Ge on the phone, he planned to tell him in person.

He had been waiting outside the airport early, and Qin Ge, who only had a bag on his back, came out from the arrival gate along the bustling flow of people, looking around as he walked, and first rushed up Chen Qiye, who Qin Ge had discovered, from the side without warning, and hugged him tightly with a big hug Hug people tightly.

Qin Ge was caught off guard and took two steps back when he was hit. He stood in front of him with a surprised expression, and then smiled after standing still. The exhaustion after the exhaustion of the boat and the car was swept away.

They used to part with people coming and going.

They meet again amidst people coming and going.

"Miss me." Qin Ge stroked Chen Qiye's soft hair, still loving it.It's been a month since the last November trip, and they didn't meet during this period, because Chen Qiye was preparing for the midterm exam linked to the comprehensive assessment, Qin Ge didn't want to disturb him, and didn't let him come to Hangzhou to find him.

Qin Ge lifted his bangs that covered his eyebrows to reveal his smooth forehead, pinched his nose lovingly, and asked, "Why haven't you cut your hair yet?"

"Busy reviewing..." Chen Qiye evaded it with vague words.He was so happy today that he invited Qin Ge to a Japanese grocery store for dinner.That kind of shop is very expensive, and Chen Qiye would never go alone. After entering the door, it was Qin Ge who took the lead, skillfully confirming the menu and the order of serving.

I ate this meal for a total of two hours, and the portions of each dish were very small. Chen Qiye was very satisfied, and he was too expensive to order another one. When he ate the last dessert, he was thinking about going back to the two yuan sushi restaurant on the way. , the waiter served him another piece of sushi alone.

When Chen Qiye thought of the prices on the menu, he felt full. He repeatedly waved his hands and said that he hadn't ordered the sushi. Can we return it? Qin Ge said that he ordered it, and just asked the waiter to put down the sushi.

There were only the two of them left in the private room, and Chen Qiye asked, "Aren't you full?"

"You're not full." Qin Ge smiled.He is not only a half-hearted gourmet, but also a senior "Chen scholar". Chen Qiye only evaluates delicious food, and he can deduce from Chen Qiye's subtle eyes and expressions which dish he likes the most tonight.

Chen Qiye was in pain, and said sadly, "It's too expensive to eat sushi here."

"You can eat as much as you like." Qin Ge said it as it should be, and when the waiter came in with the bill, he and Chen Qiye said they wanted to pay at the same time.

The waiter looked at Chen Qiye and then at Qin Ge, and handed the latter the bill.After the waiter left, Chen Qiye was a little unhappy, saying that he was the one who treated guests today, Qin Ge blinked, and it was still so reasonable: "Then who said it was expensive just now."

Chen Qiye: "..."

"What's there to be unhappy about? What's mine is yours." Qin Ge teased him, forcing his dimples out. "We've already divided up the work. You study hard, I'm the one who cares about money."

Chen Qiye tried his best not to let his mood down.Qin Ge urged him to stop playing tricks and talk about why he was celebrating. He stuck out his tongue at Qin Ge and said it later.

Qin Ge made a "tsk", looked at Chen Qiye meaningfully, and said that he might not have time to go back.Chen Qiye didn't take this sentence seriously until the moment he opened the door of the apartment, before he had time to reach out to turn on the light, Qin Ge grabbed his wrists and lifted him up, pulling him along the wall into the bedroom Pushing, the other hand went through the hem of the clothes to feel inside, and kept kissing.

Chen Xiye was so kissed that he couldn't breathe.I don't know if it's because of drinking sake, Qin Ge's kiss has never been more outrageous, as if he wants to swallow the person in his arms.

Chen Xiye's pushing and resisting and the small words blocked by kisses turned into fun.It wasn't until he was pushed onto the bed that he had a chance to press against Qin Ge's chest and briefly stop the unstoppable invasion.

Chen Qiye urgently said, "Listen to me and tell me the good news."

Qin Ge was not very interested and wrapped his tongue around Chen Qiye.Before the two of them started anything, the temperature in the darkness was about to climb to the top.

Then Chen Qiye finally had room to breathe, and said in a low voice, "I signed up for the China-Russia exchange scholarship."

Qin Ge stopped all movements, and the joy came to an abrupt end.

"I—" Chen Xiye wanted to say something else.He was mentally prepared, knowing that Qin Ge would definitely feel sudden and needed time to accept it, but now it was even more embarrassing to be in a stalemate, so he took the initiative to prop up his body to curry favor and wanted to kiss back. Qin Ge straightened his waist, pressed his hand, and said indifferently Push him back on the bed.

Chen Qiye closed his eyes instinctively, then opened them again, and there was light in the bedroom.Qin Ge walked back and forth in the open space beside the bed with his upper body bare. Every time he turned around, he turned his back to Chen Qiye. Chen Qiye could only see his expressionless side face.

"Then how about...you listen to me first." Chen Qiye sat on his knees on the bed, dancing and talking about the specific content of the policy.He was incoherent at first and didn't focus on the point, but he spoke quickly and smoothly, especially the scholarship part. He laughed as he spoke, no longer shrank nervously, but crawled forward and approached the bed Qin Ge beside him grabbed his waistband and wanted to pull him back to share his joy. Qin Ge clasped his wrist and tilted it to the outside, and said angrily, "You call this good news?"

Chen Qiye was taken aback, and his thin shoulders subconsciously tightened, like the overreaction of a timid wild animal when it encounters a human.

"Which undergraduate student at thu has you ever met who would go to a place like Russia for exchange?" Qin Ge was really angry. After closing the distance between the two, he asked Chen Qiye condescendingly, "Or do you mean to be angry?" I?"
