Tears

"200 million." The fourth child said in a muffled voice.

"What? Two million?" The fifth child was the first to jump up.

"Impossible," the third child's face turned pale, "What company wants 200 million in liquidated damages? Impossible."

Only Shang Xian turned pale, 200 million, exactly the number that Ajaan gave him at that time.

"A-Jiang, where did you get so much money?" At that time, Shangxian was still a little bit young, and he and A-Jiang hid in the fire escape, staring at the bag of money in dumbfounded.

"That man left it for me when he ran away from home."

A-jaan was leaning against the dirty wall, his right hand was hanging by his leg, the cigarette butt between his fingertips flickered on and off.He raised his head, let out a breath, white smoke rushed into the air, and a faint mint smell spread.

"so much?"

Shangxian mortgaged his house to start his own business. His family's situation was not up to par. His parents spent everything they had to make up the down payment and bought him a flat in the year he graduated.The house was bought for him to marry a wife, but he was afraid that the house price would get higher and higher, so he did everything he could.

This suite only borrowed more than 300 million yuan.And A-Jiang took out 200 million in one go.

"Yes," A-Jiang raised his hand and took another puff. He swallowed the smoke into his lungs and made a circle before spitting it out.The chest felt a little stuffy, and it seemed that this was the only way to feel better, "I didn't expect that either."

This sentence is not a lie, that person left him 20, he really didn't expect it.He didn't use any of the money. He applied for a student loan for his tuition, and he relied on part-time jobs for his living expenses.

Fortunately, it was useless, A-Jiang blinked, otherwise the liquidated damages would not be paid.

"I can't, this is what your father left for you."

"He's not my dad." A-Jiang interrupted him lightly, a large portion of the cigarette butt was thrown on the ground, A-Jiang stepped on it and crushed it.

The money wasn't his either.

"Instead, I'm useless, you can take it for emergency first." He looked down at Shangxian, and let out a small smile.He raised his foot and poked the bag with his toe, "It's not for you, I want to charge interest."

"Okay, I'm going to go in and continue painting." A-Jiang straightened up and walked to the corridor, "Let A-Ling go to the bank to deposit and pay her wages. The little girl is almost blind from crying."

After Hanyou turned around, Shangxian and Wu Maoshu paid off the mortgage, and the house was finally saved, and the two survived for the rest of their lives.Shangxian went to Ajiang to discuss whether he could pay back the money later.

"The company has insufficient liquidity on the books, and it needs to develop new games in the future. If it is all withdrawn, it is easy to fall into a broken capital chain." Shangxian holds the company's bills in his hand, and the expenses are really like running water Same, shocking. "Just two or three months later, when the next game is launched, I will have more space here."

"It's okay." Ajaan sat on the sofa, this is Shangxian's new office, the Hanyou became popular, and he moved to a new place.A-Jiang smoked out his cigarette and glanced at the clean marble coffee table. The office only smelled of new decoration.In the future, there will be no dirty fire exits where you can smoke.

He put the cigarette back in again.

"You smoke it," Shang Xian dropped the running water in his hand and stood up, "I'll get you a disposable cup."

"No need," Ajaan waved his hand, "I'm quitting smoking."

"I'm not in a hurry to spend money." A-Jiang's hands were idle, a little idly, he rubbed his thighs back and forth a few times, and stood up on his knees, "Then I'll go first."

Ajaan stopped at the door, seemed to have something to say, Shangxian waited quietly.

"The new office is good." Ajaan turned his head and blinked his left eye at Shang Xian.

That time seemed to be the first time Ajaan went to the new company, and it was also the last time.The next few games were not as good as Shangxian expected. If you want to evaluate them, they are quite satisfactory, neither good nor bad.Profitable, but not hot.They continue to invest their profits in the development of new games, expecting the next game to be a big hit.

Time and time again, one after another, Hanyou seems to have fallen into an endless loop, and Shangxian seems to have forgotten Ajaan's 200 million.

No, I didn't forget, I never forgot.I've thought about it a long time ago. Once the game gets investment this time, I'll pay back Ajaan's money.So I had to get investment, for Hanyou, and for Ajaan.

"Has A-Jiang's money been paid off?" The youngest took a sip of beer, and the cold liquid fell into his throat, reminding him of the most important thing.

"Are you joking?" The fourth child cast a cold glance at the third child, "You don't know how much the loan company's interest is? It's 200 million. Ajaan doesn't even have a serious job. How can he pay it back?"

"Damn it, fourth child, are you human?" Old Wu slapped the table, and Shang Xian's wine glass was knocked over by him, and the glass of wine was poured on Shang Xian, "You fucking loan usury to Ajaan? "

"You fucking usury," the fourth child was also anxious, and he threw his chopsticks into the hot pot, "I didn't start the company, who would lend him money without interest? I negotiated the lowest interest rate for him, which is kind enough Alright."

"I advised him not to borrow it, I advised him not to borrow it, my mother persuaded him earnestly, will he listen to me?" The fourth child grabbed the wine bottle and drank it vigorously, choked again, and coughed violently while lying on the table.

The fifth child looked at the fourth child. They could see the fourth child on TV programs from time to time, watching him talk about the market and the trend in a well-dressed manner, but now he lost his composure, and the fifth child could no longer utter the curse words.

"Then what should he do? I heard that loan sharks can do anything if they can't get money." The fifth child suddenly jumped up, "Ah Jiang couldn't afford to be beaten up, right? Let's go to his house to see, he I used to come here every year, so something must have happened."

"You fucking sit down for me." The fourth child raised his head and pointed at the fifth child fiercely. His eyes were bloodshot from coughing, and his eyelashes were wet with tears, sticking into strands.

"A legal loan company, not a usury." The fourth child gritted his teeth and said, "Ajaan borrowed for a one-year period, and it will not come out when the time comes. It was supposed to be beaten, but fortunately they returned our family's face, Promised Ajaan to pay in installments instead."

"Paid it off?" The third child suddenly asked.

"Not yet." The fourth child shook his head, "I remember at the time it was agreed to pay it off in five years, so there shouldn't be much left. They haven't looked for me in the past few years, so Ajaan should have paid it off on time."

The four fell silent at the same time, and no one knew what to say.The air was terribly silent, and Lao Wu couldn't stand the atmosphere, so he yelled.

"Boss, here's a case of beer."

"No," Shangxian pressed his hand, turned to look at the fifth child, "no beer, it's nothing."

"A-Jiang, do you want to sleep on the bed? Or on the sofa?" Lu Aizhen asked A-Jiang softly. He wanted A-Jiang to sleep more comfortably, but he was afraid that he would not be able to sleep well on the bed.

Ajaan didn't speak, Lu Aizhen got up and brought a blanket, he covered Ajaan carefully, and lay down beside him again.The sofa is wide enough for two people to lie down.

"Just for a while." Lu Aizhen lifted Ajaan's head and let him lie on her arms.A-jaan didn't show any resistance, but he knew that A-jaan must be unwilling, "Just lie down for a while."

"The medicine I gave Shangxian is the lightest, and you will be able to move after a while. I'm just afraid that you will be too excited." Lu Aizhen gently stroked Ajiang's arm. He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. "Talk to me, we Long time no chat."

A-Jiang didn't keep silent on purpose, he was too painful to speak.He thought Ah Yin brought him to dinner, so he didn't eat anything.It's been a day, since last night's supper, he hasn't eaten a single drop of rice.In fact, he was used to being hungry, but the two glasses of ice wine just now seemed to start to attack, and his stomach was violently convulsed.He didn't dare to make a sound at all, so he had to desperately hold Lu Aizhen's chest.

A-Jiang's breathing was very hot, which made Lu Aizhen's chest ache, but he didn't dare to look at A-Jiang, for he was afraid that if he saw it, he would lose control of him.

Ajaan gritted his teeth and went through a wave of crests. According to his experience, he could get a few minutes of rest.

"Your money may be delayed for a while, sorry."

Lu Aizhen got angry, but couldn't get angry, so she let out a long sigh.

"Is there only money left between us?" He was very sad, but knew that he couldn't wait for comfort.He didn't even dare to let Ajaan speak, for fear of hearing what he didn't want to hear.

"I'm done with Zhu Ruoruo," Lu Aizhen decided to tell A-Jiang, he couldn't see A-Jiang being trapped by money.Ajaan should be free, carefree, he has talent, and his energy should be spent on his talent. "Thanks to you, I found the video of her pushing you into the sea. She has returned to England and will never come back."

Ajaan was stunned for a long time, as if he was digesting Lu Aizhen's words.

"That's good."

He smiled, this is good news, one of the few good news in his life.Although it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him, it is still worth being happy.

"So you don't have to pay back the money," Lu Aizhen kissed the top of A-Jiang's head, "You deserve what you paid back before, can you take it back?"

A-Jiang shook his head, "Forget it, I didn't deserve it in the first place," he smiled shortly, "I always feel that it's a bit outrageous, so it's better not to take it."

"A-Jiang!" Lu Aizhen propped up her body and grabbed A-Jiang's shoulder.He guessed that A-jaan would think this way, he didn't allow A-jaan to think like this, he was the one who hurt the world and had nothing to do with A-jaan.

"Okay, okay," A-Jiang didn't want Lu Aizhen to see his appearance, he bowed his head and gave in, "Then I won't pay it back, is that okay, father of the funder? But don't let me return the ones that have already been returned to you." Take it back."

Lu Aizhen lay down again, he knew that Ajiang seemed to be playing around with life and didn't care about anything, but in fact he was very stubborn, and no one could easily shake his decision.

Except... Sang-hyun.

"I heard that you no longer accept tattoo designs?"

Apart from Shangxian, Lu Aizhen still has a thorn in his heart.

"Ah."

"Because...that?"

"Yeah," Ajaan was always frank on matters unrelated to Shangxian, "I know that Luo Zi was forced to do so, and I don't really blame him. But how to put it, there is always a feeling of being betrayed. I can no longer get along with the person who betrayed me."

"What about Shangxian?" Lu Aizhen blurted out, he wanted to bear it, but couldn't help it.Luozi betrayed him, so kindness and righteousness were cut off, so what about Shangxian?Isn't Shangxian more than Luozi?Why can Shangxian be forgiven?

A-Jiang didn't seem to expect Lu Aizhen to be so sharp, he was silent for a long time, so long that Lu Aizhen thought that he would not get an answer, and then he heard A-Jiang say a word softly.

"But that's Ah Yin."

Literally beats the heart.

One sentence made Lu Aizhen's heart drip with blood.

But that's Ah Yin.Because it is Ah Yin, you can do anything, because it is Ah Yin, you can forgive anything you do.What is there to fight for?What is the back and forth between him and Shangxian?As long as A-Jian is the judge, then A-Xian is invincible, and he has no chance of winning.

"Go to sleep for a while," Lu Aizhen felt that all the anger in his body was gone, and he couldn't even summon up the strength to hate Shangxian.Forget it, what else is there to fight for?He just wanted to sleep well with A-Jiang in his arms, maybe, he would never have such an opportunity again in the future. "Go to sleep, the dark circles under your eyes are all gone. I won't turn off the lights, Shangxian can come back anytime, and I'll wake you up when he comes."

"One day, I'll accompany you to get the tattoo washed." Lu Aizhen closed her eyes, the light shining through her eyelids, and her eyes were bright. "I'm looking for a place, and no one will know."

"No need," A-Jiang murmured, "It's perfect for me, isn't it?"

Gu Jiang fell into a coma in pain, he was too tired.Every night when he was with Shangxian, he lay in bed and couldn't sleep all night. He could only open his eyes and wait for the dawn. Fortunately, he was accompanied by Shangxian's steady breathing, so that the night would not be too lonely.

He can finally have a good night's sleep, without worrying about falling asleep, not finishing painting, or worrying about a lot.He seems to have returned to Sanya. Although he has never told Lu Aizhen, he knows that the days and nights in Sanya, or the days and nights with Lu Aizhen, are the most relaxing time for him, as if there is nothing to worry about, and all the burdens are removed.

But he also knew that such ease did not belong to him.He has tasted such a period of time, it is enough, how can he still dream of having it.

Shang Xian was drunk, the third child and the fifth child held each other, and the three of them wobbled as if they were about to fall at any time.The fourth child was the only one who still had some sanity. He stood at the door of the store and staggered to stop the car.

"Why shut down?"

He heard a questioning voice coming from in front of him.He raised his head. It was a woman he didn't know, with a kind face.

"Shangxian, why did you turn off the phone?"

Shangxian and the third and fifth raised their heads at the same time, and they looked in the direction of the voice blankly.

who?Shang Xian blinked hard, A Ling?Ha, Carole is here to pick me up.That's right, A Ling came to pick me up after every dinner party.Who are you entertaining today?

Shangxian shook his head violently but couldn't remember, what did A Ling ask me?

Why shut down?

Did I shut down?Ah, it's turned off. I thought the phone was too noisy just now, so I hung up on the third phone and turned it off.third child?Come to think of it, today is a party with the third, fourth, and fifth.

Is Ajaan not here?Why didn't Ajaan come?

Shang Xian stared straight at A Ling.

Carole.

He seemed to have lost his way for a long time, and finally saw his mother's child. He shook off the passers-by who were supporting him, and walked towards his mother step by step.

Carole.

Shangxian threw himself on A Ling, hugged her shoulder tightly, and refused to let go.
