Stop loss

When Lin Ji came to knock on Qin Ge's door, Chen Qiye was in the master bedroom helping Qin Ge pack his luggage for Europe.He had selfish motives, and accidentally took out a classic coat that Qin Ge had worn for many years, hid it under the quilt, and went to the living room, only to see Lin Ji pacing back and forth in the space in front of the sofa, angry Chong Chong said: "I don't want to end this marriage!"

Chen Xiye, who didn't know the situation, had a question mark on his face, but Qin Ge didn't seem surprised. He boiled water and poured a cup of tea for Lin Ji to calm down, then sat quietly on the sofa and listened to his brother's complaint.

"Isn't it just to let her wash the dishes? If she doesn't want to, just talk about it. If you say something nice, I'll go wash it. I can force her to do it." Lin Ji stopped and turned sideways , imitating Chen Xiaoxian's tone, "Lin Ji, you are still exposed. Sure enough, you men have no good things. You want to transform women into hard-working housewives instead of respecting their independence."

Lin Ji grasped his hair with claws, broke down and said: "I really just want her to help wash the dishes, just wash the dishes, that's all! Why do you want to go online? Today's meal is still made by me Yes. You never cook at home, we can’t always eat takeaway, you said you can’t cook, okay, I’ll cook two dishes by myself, and eat with you, you enjoy the fruits of my labor, Why can't you share some housework too?"

"I didn't ask you to cook. The food you cook is very ordinary and not as good as takeaway food. I'm still not willing to eat it..." Lin Ji changed to an innocent tone, playing two roles, restoring the relationship between himself and Chen Xiaoxian quarrel.With such a trivial matter as washing the dishes as the trigger, the couple who are about to hold a wedding refuse to accept each other, insist on their own opinions, from arguing with reason to accusing each other, they have collected all the old accounts of Chen Zhima and rotten millet.Chen Xiaoxian was hurt. She said that marriage is the grave of love. Her words also hurt Lin Ji. The last sentence Lin Ji said before leaving home was to let Chen Xiaoxian marry those talented poets she interviewed. , Those men are also not good, and they will definitely ask their wives to do the dishes!

Lin Ji took a deep breath after venting. Qin Ge and Chen Qiye, who were watching his performance, all opened their mouths slightly and were quiet, not daring to move or blink.

Lin Ji was a little less angry, and asked his good brother if he had such a quarrel with Chen Xiye. Qin Ge and Chen Qiye looked at each other, and after knowing each other, they looked at Lin Ji again, using the lines from "The Great Master": "Two Together, the most important thing is that silence is better than sound."

"You guys are really a good match. Little Yezi is also good, quiet and not like Chen Xiaoxian who is chattering non-stop." Lin Ji was discouraged, and asked Qin Ge, "Is it too late for me to be gay? Women are too troublesome, what should I say?" She can hear the subtext."

Qin Ge recommended a more permanent solution to Lin Ji: "You must have time to buy a dishwasher now."

Lin Ji: "..."

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I still envy the two of you. You have not been separated for so many years. You grew up together and accompanied each other from school to society, from high school uniforms to wedding dresses. How romantic it is." Chen Xiye is more comforting, Lin Ji shook his head with a bitter expression on his face, but he didn't complain any more. After clearing his mind, he asked Qin Ge, "You should go to the airport."

Qin Ge nodded, and took the suitcase that Chen Qiye rolled out from the bedroom.Chen Qiye didn't have a domestic driver's license yet, so Lin Ji came just in time to take over Qin Ge's car keys and be their driver for a while.

Lin Ji originally thought that the two of them would go together, but Qin Ge was the only one who got out of the car at the airport, and their farewell was limited to waving hands through the car window.

Lin Ji waited for the car to leave the airport before asking Chen Qiye: "You don't go to work, why don't you go with me?"

"Qin Ge said that he has to attend academic conferences with his tutor during the day, and he also has work and can't take care of me at night. It will be boring if I go, it's unnecessary." Chen Qiye looked out of the window with some regret, but Qin Ge said It didn't make sense, and he didn't want his existence to embarrass Qin Ge.

"Then you come to be my best man, just to take Qin Ge's place." Lin Ji's tone of invitation was quite cheerful.Chen Qiye's eyes fell on the driver's seat, he was too embarrassed to tease Lin Ji, and didn't repeat the angry words he said half an hour ago.

"Okay." Chen Qiye agreed readily, and the two of them stopped talking for the time being, so Lin Ji turned up the volume, and the folk music from the car stereo was quite nostalgic, and Lin Ji couldn't help teasing: "It's so old, He still listens to those songs."

Lin Ji chatted about Qin Ge in the past.At the age of eighteen or nineteen, Qin Ge was undoubtedly the one with the most flamboyant personality in the small group. He bought the latest basketball shoes and went to the darkest Internet cafe. In self-criticism, taking the top [-] test results and doing the trouble of the bottom [-], all the male teachers have a headache for him, all the female teachers like him, all the boys want to be him, and all the girls are secretly in love with him.

He is such a person who never lacks eyesight wherever he goes, but now he drives a very common German car all year round, lives in a very common old community, and is about to have a very common job as a doctor.

There is also an ordinary small cloth bag hanging on the rearview mirror of this German car, with the words "safety in and out" on the surface.When Chen Qiye called a taxi to follow Qin Ge, he couldn't see Qin Ge's face, but he could always see the cloth bag dangling while driving.A few days ago, he sniffed it closely and didn't smell the fragrance, so he wanted to replace it, but Qin Ge said no, this cloth bag has been with him for seven or eight years, and it was hung on his bedside before he bought the car. He has feelings for it.

Listening to Chen Xiye's description, Lin Ji could completely imagine Qin Ge's calm tone and appearance.He is more human than Qin Ge. After sending Chen Qiye home, the two finished talking about investment and asset transfer, and signed an agency contract by the way. Lin Ji winked at his biggest financial backer so far: "I can do it tonight." live here?"

Chen Qiye hugged Duoduo tightly in his arms, and looked at Lin Ji with subtle eyes, doubting his straight male attributes.As expected of a straight man, Lin Ji sat down by Chen Qiye's side without hesitation, and took his hand to show his sincerity: "I don't want to go back, at least not today. Every time I quarrel, I apologize first, I'm too humble I don't want to be so active anymore."

Chen Qiye was loyal enough to book a hotel next to his company for Lin Ji who handed in his salary card.Looking back, Chen Xiye told Qin Ge that Lin Ji was too anxious to leave home and forgot to bring his private money. Qin Ge was generous and said that Lin Ji would be fine if he remembered, anyway, there was a side sleeper at home.

Chen Xiye smiled.The two were chatting via video, Chen Xiye was eating lunch, Qin Ge had just woken up, and after connecting, he had no clothes on. He was very casual in front of Chen Qiye, and didn't care about his same-sex friends staying at home.Chen Qiye felt a little uncomfortable. He said that Qin Ge used to be very possessive, and he couldn't even say a few words to Lin Ji, so why doesn't he care now.Qin Ge supported his forehead, and hurriedly put on his clothes to avoid spreading the topic: "I'm going to the lecture."

Chen Qiye couldn't help being frustrated, the time difference between them was not six hours, but eight years missed.Human beings are always envious of what they don't have. Chen Xiaoxian who knocked on the door after a week later learned that Qin Ge would not make video calls with Chen Qiye every day after going abroad, nor would she lose her temper just because Chen Qiye didn't say good night to him. This kind of relationship mode is extremely longing.

"I was working as a war correspondent in the Middle East at the time, and I was thankful that the signal under the hail of bullets could last until I finished sending out the manuscript, but he wanted me to text him good morning and good night every day," Chen Xiaoxian stood where Lin Ji had been pacing.The two husbands and wives got to know each other deeply, and Chen Xiaoxian became anxious, her tone and expression were exactly the same as Lin Ji's, the only difference was that the only person sitting on the sofa listening was Chen Qiye.She also complained that in order not to separate the two places, she gave up her dream of being a war correspondent and transferred back to China to work as an editor. She sat in the office every day and read manuscripts.How could a man who socialized until one or two in the morning have the nerve to say that she didn't care about her family? Instead of handing over her salary card to prove her innocence, she hoped that Lin Ji would not always go to those unclear places with clients.

"Actually... maybe the client wanted to go, but Lin Ji just accompanied him." Chen Qiye helped Lin Ji speak. In the financial industry, party A is the father, and Lin Ji also has a lot to do.

After Chen Xiaoxian finished talking, she also felt better, sitting next to Chen Qiye like a defeated duck.Duoduo saw that this female compatriot was feeling lost and needed comfort, so she sensibly slipped into Chen Xiaoxian's arms.Chen Xiaoxian rubbed the golden retriever's head fondly. She also wanted to have a dog, but Lin Ji disagreed. He felt that the two would have a child sooner or later, and at that time the dog would definitely be sent away.

"We are not the gluey and beautiful love that others say, but chicken feathers and duck feathers floating all over the place." Chen Xiaoxian finally expressed her deepest fear.She is afraid that she will become a man's accessory, trapped by marriage and family and gradually lose herself, and they have been together for too long, from high school to work, and there will be a wedding soon, the sunk cost of their separation at this time is too great, they can only Bite the bullet and move on.

"It's better for you and Qin Ge, Qin Ge is very mature, unlike Lin Ji, who will never grow up, and will always be a child who asks me for candy!" Chen Xiaoxian can only see the advantages of other couples getting along, just like She focuses too much on her own and Lin Ji's shortcomings.Chen Qiye could only smile wryly, saying that Qin Ge is now like Oppenheimer who panicked after witnessing the atomic bomb explosion.The explosion of the two atomic bombs brought an end to the worldwide war, which is a good thing, but Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb, claimed at the United Nations meeting that his hands were stained with blood, and he spent the rest of his life in guilt and guilt.

"Not everyone can play the role of God with peace of mind." Chen Qiye also mentioned the same metaphor to Lin Kee.Lin Ji was dumbfounded when he heard this, and was astonished!He always thought that Qin Ge's transformation came from the loss of the 20 billion he got. He didn't expect Qin Ge to be so high-level, he sympathized with the family who also lost wealth in the liquidation, and cared about everyone's fate.

Lin Ji envied Qin Ge from a new perspective, and said helplessly, "Hey...Although Chen Xiaoxian never said it, I know it. I don't understand her. She can chat for three days and three nights with someone who is engaged in artistic creation and sleepless nights. I only have firewood, rice, oil and salt when we are together..."

Lin Ji felt ashamed of himself.He is not so deep, he is just a straight man with no literary talent, the way to express his love is to hand in his salary card, there is no way to have an ideological collision with Chen Xiaoxian, if Chen Xiaoxian one day can talk to her about free will He would never be surprised that the talented poet ran away, but wished her to find her soul mate.

Chen Xiaoxian was furious when she knew that Lin Ji had such self-consciousness. She was even more mad than Lin Ji made her wash the dishes, so she couldn't control her emotions and yelled at Chen Qiye: "Is he disgusting? I forced me to say goodbye, is he? I really don't want to get married!"

Chen Xiaoxian was about to burst into tears, and Chen Qiye quickly comforted her.It's really wise that he didn't go to Europe with Qin Ge, otherwise, who would act as the microphone and peacemaker for the team-to-be couple? The two finally reconciled the day before the start of their wedding vacation. A high-power hardcover luxury dishwasher, Chen Xiaoxian reimbursed him and gave him a big red envelope, and this dishwasher was actually bought by Chen Qiye, so Lin Ji made a fortune after going around...

The couple are both from Tanzhou. Of course, they have to go back to their hometown for the wedding, so they need to go back and prepare in advance.Chen Qiye was quite reluctant to part with these two giant Buddhas. It was quite interesting to accompany them to quarrel during the day, and to chat with Qin Ge in the video at night.Qin Ge liked listening to Chen Qiye very much.He should like it, even though he rarely speaks by himself, he always looks at Chen Qiye on the screen wholeheartedly.Sometimes Chen Qiye was sleepy, and forgot to cut off the connection before falling into a light sleep. When he suddenly woke up, he would see that Qin Ge had not hung up the phone, but put his phone on the desk in the hotel room. Various papers and meeting notes, Chen Qiye was confused and couldn't tell whether it was him or Qin Ge who stayed up all night, so he charged his phone and put it on the bedside, quietly watching Qin Ge who was working hard on the other side.

Qin Ge wanted Chen Qiye to sleep without waiting for him, and this kind of silent company really made him feel at ease.Qin Ge hadn't experienced such a real sense of life for a long time. Time flowed on him again, and he ushered in another birthday.

Qin Ge himself didn't care too much.Every time Professor Ma takes him with him when he goes abroad, it is because of his oral English ability and his decent handling of people. This time he is even more so, fully reflecting the cheapness of graduate labor. If you don’t want to go and it’s inconvenient to be absent, send him all the way.Qin Ge just came out of a factory four hours away from the city at six or seven o'clock. As soon as he got on the bus, he received a lot of messages of blessings at zero o'clock in the country. Qin Ge replied one by one out of politeness. , After replying, I took a nap due to motion sickness, and after going back to the hotel, a new day in European time was almost coming.

Qin Ge fell on the bed, closed his eyes, and finally could rest.At this point, all the domestic late-night champions were asleep, but Qin Ge's cell phone vibrated. He glanced at his eyes to see who was on the caller ID, and immediately regained his energy.

Qin Ge rubbed his face, went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and made sure that he didn't look tired before connecting.He couldn't help laughing, it wasn't because of the cake that appeared in the picture, but because of Chen Qiye holding the cake.After displaying the cake, Chen Qiye put the paper crown symbolizing birthday on his head, and while singing the incongruous happy birthday song, he took out a beautifully packaged small paper box.
