Clear Feather of the Ring

After talking with Qiu Guoguo that day and returning home, Yi Qing couldn't sleep for several nights.Thinking of the scene of Long Tianyu's blood dripping in the car accident, thinking of him lying on the hospital bed, thinking of how he dropped out of school to take over the company... He suddenly understood why Long Tianyu wanted to take revenge on himself like this, and understood how he viciously followed him that day. The words I said.

What happened to him was because of me, and he only lived in the hospital for one year.I owe him, I owe him a life, I owe him a year.

He took out the high school graduation book from the small cabinet in his bedroom, wiped off the thick dust on it, opened it, and found the graduation photo that he and Long Tianyu had taken on the playground behind the school the day they filled out their volunteers.He was sitting on the iron railing beside the football field, with his hands on the shoulders of Long Tianyu standing in front of him. He still remembered that when Yang Yi pressed the shutter, Long Tianyu shouted to him in front: "Yi Qing, laugh at me!" One." It was the most presumptuous and ostentatious photo of him smiling, the corners of his mouth were a little deformed, and Long Tianyu disliked him.

Yi Qing touched the photo, looked at Long Tianyu who was laughing inside, and felt no resentment in his heart.He used to hate Long Tianyu for attacking his elder brother, for causing his father to be hospitalized, and for ruining the reputation of the charitable organization, but now, he doesn't hate him anymore.Just treat it as what you owe him and pay it back.

As soon as the new year was over, Yi Qing went back to the bookstore first, took Xiaojing to check the inventory in the store, and then made a book list, asking her to order some new books according to the ones above.

The two were busy in the bookstore when the door was pushed open. Yi Qing raised his head from the bookshelf to look at the door one by one, and the two laughed.

"Why did you come back now?" Yi Qing took him to the second floor, and asked the person sitting on the sofa while making tea.

"I didn't come back until the Chinese New Year. I just didn't want to hear the crap from the seven aunts and the eight aunts. You also know that those people in my family are nosy." Lu Ming put a bag of medicine on the table and picked it up. Yi Qing made a cup of tea, and took a sip slowly: "I just came back the day before yesterday, and as soon as I came back, I heard from my dad that my uncle was sick, so I wanted to go to your house to visit my uncle today, and see if you are still alive by the way. I heard from my aunt that you have moved out and you are looking at a bookstore, which is a rare thing in a thousand years, so I heard that I wanted to come to see something new, so I came here."

He put down the cup and pushed the medicine on the table: "Auntie asked me to bring it to you. Why, the stomach problem is still not healed?"

Yi Qing poured another cup of hot tea for him, then took the medicine bag on the table and put it into the bedroom.After coming out, the two sat opposite each other and each had another drink.This is a new tea just served this spring, and it still has a fresh smell from the mountains. The tea leaves are slowly unfolded under the hot water, and they bloom into a whole at the bottom of the small white porcelain cup. A piece of emerald green leaves, reflecting the water in the cup is also fresh and green, looking very comfortable.

Lu Ming drank three cups in a row before he got over his addiction. He put the cup on the table, leaned back on the sofa, and exhaled freely, "Your life is getting more and more immortal. Drink Drinking tea, growing flowers, reading books, not bad."

"You didn't see me when I was tired like a dog." Yi Qing continued to boil the kettle and asked Lu Ming, "How long are you going to stay this time?"

"I'm not leaving. I'm going to take root in S City and contribute to the development of our hometown." Lu Ming stood up abruptly, walked around Yi Qing's living room, and went to the balcony to admire the flowers and plants, feeling very happy look.

Yi Qing ignored him, and sat there drinking tea slowly, and ran down to help Xiao Jing rearrange the bookshelves in the store.

Lu Ming waited for him to come up, and then asked again: "Why do you want to open a bookstore? Are you planning to settle here in the future? Are you not going back to France?"

"I just opened this bookstore for fun, and I didn't think about how long it would last. One day I don't want to do it, just remove it, it's not a fetter." This bookstore was originally run by an old couple. The upstairs is home, and it has been open for decades.Later, the son grew up, went abroad to study, and then started a family there. Last year, the two elders just gave birth to a big fat grandson. The son wanted to take the two elders to watch the children, and take the old man outside for a walk to see world.Only then did the two elders put up the rental advertisement with great reluctance. Yi Qing saw the house and immediately agreed to rent it.Looking at the bookstore on the next floor, he didn't want to change it into something else, after all, the second floor was enough for a person living alone.Simply keep it as it is, and still be a bookstore, not seeking to make money, as long as it can continue to operate, it can be regarded as satisfying one of my hobbies for books.

"I've also heard about your brother. How is the situation now? Do you need me to talk to my dad? He also recognizes those people above. Have you looked for Uncle Chen? He is here One piece is still a person who can talk."

"I've already looked for it, but Uncle Chen has been transferred to work in another department in the past few years, and those people under him have also been promoted. A way. But don't worry, my dad has a way, as long as my brother is innocent, he will be fished out."

Although the current problem has not been resolved, it can be regarded as a lot of difficulties, but he doesn't want to talk to Lu Ming too much.Yi Qing knew Lu Ming's character well, if she told him, she would definitely try her best to help her.He didn't want his help, didn't want to owe him any more favors.

Hearing what he said, Lu Ming didn't ask any further questions. Seeing him picking up a white porcelain cup with tweezers and putting it under hot water to scald it, he caught sight of the white ring on Yi Qing's left hand, and immediately pointed to Yi Qing: " You don't like wearing things on your body. How do you buy this?"

After ironing the cup, Yi Qing put it on the bamboo table to dry, and shook the ring-wearing left hand at Lu Ming: "I'm afraid that people will see it and misunderstand it, so cover it up."

Lu Ming laughed dumbly, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and glanced at Yi Qing.Seeing his hesitation, Yi Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, you inhale. The air here circulates well, and it will dissipate after a while."

Lu Ming immediately lit the cigarette, took a puff comfortably, and then said leisurely: "You are afraid that Long Tianyu will see you! By the way, have you two met since you came back?"

"I've seen everything I need to see." He put the ashtray in front of Lu Ming, "Everyone is doing well."

Lu Ming nodded in the ashtray, and glanced at Yi Qing: "Did Long Tianyu and the others bother you?"

"It's okay. It's been so many years, and each has its own life. How could it be possible to cling to the past?"

Lu Ming looked at Yi Qing with strange eyes, then pointed at his ring: "Since it's all over, why don't you wash off the one on your hand?"

In a word, the question left Yi Qing speechless.He had promised Long Tianyu to get this ring tattooed at the beginning, how could he go back on his promise?A tattoo is a tattoo, it is a mark of a lifetime, a lifetime, how can it be washed away.

"Don't lie to me, I don't know about Long Tianyu's gang? The two running errands next to him are Yang Yi and Zhang Liang. Damn, they still found someone to stop me until last year. I can be missed by them for so many years, they can easily let you go?" Lu Ming lit another cigarette and smoked, and said to Yi Qing who was silent across the way: "Did they hit you?"

Before Yi Qing could answer, Lu Ming said again: "It must be a fight, just the virtue of those grandsons."

"We had a fight. Fortunately, nothing was hurt. It's time to train your muscles." Yi Qing changed the subject and moved to Lu Ming: "What are you going to do when you come back? Make a movie?"

"Shooting, I spent so much money abroad, I have to give an explanation to the old man at home. If you want to be my leading actor, the remuneration is up to you."

"never mind."

The two chatted one after another for a long time. When Lu Ming left, he was finally worried and told Yi Qing again: "If they trouble you again, please tell me. I will do it."

Yi Qing didn't answer him.He wasn't afraid of Yang Yi and Zhang Liang coming to make trouble, he didn't care about those little troubles at all.On Long Tianyu's side, since the last time they were in the hospital, the two of them have never met again, and they have lived in peace since then.He thought, maybe it was the matter of the ring that made Long Tianyu give up.

If you really give up, that's fine, and you won't be holding on to the past all the time, trying to make trouble for yourself.No matter what happened to his brother, he had to talk to him again to see how much he had interfered behind the scenes and whether there was room for maneuver.

After seeing off Lu Ming, he had a simple lunch in a nearby shop, and then rode to the club.From the bookstore to the club, it takes about half an hour to ride a bicycle. For Yi Qing, it's neither too far nor too close, and it's time for exercise.After he came back, his brother said he wanted a car for him, but he didn't want it.If he wanted to open it, he could afford it with his own money, but he didn't think it was necessary.

Before going abroad, he never took the subway or bus when he went out, and he always took a special car to pick him up wherever he went.When he came out, he only brought his own cards with him, and he kept all the cards that his family gave him on the bedside table, just wanting to support himself by his own ability.In the first year when he first arrived in France, he calculated according to the remaining money in his card. After paying the tuition and rent, and after deducting the expenses for this year, there was basically only a few changes in the card.All expenses for the next three years must be earned by myself.It was also from that time that I learned to spend money sparingly, buy cheap clothes, eat cheap canteen meals, ride a bicycle when going out, only take the bus or subway when the distance is long, and only call in emergencies.

Such a frugal life, the first year was extremely difficult, and the second year gradually got used to it. In the third and fourth years..., it has already become a way of life for me.Those aristocratic problems that have been developed for more than ten years have all been cured after going out for a few years.I have to say that people really have to be pushed to that point before they know that the bottom line of their tolerability can be moved down little by little.

Yi Qing returned to the agency, and after dealing with some daily affairs, he sat quietly in his office for a while, then picked up the phone on the desk, and dialed the number at the front desk of Long Tianyu's company headquarters.

After a few rings, the sweet voice of the lady at the front desk came from the other side. As soon as they heard that they were looking for Mr. Long, they immediately became cautious and asked several questions until they confirmed that they were acquaintances. Only then did I agree to transfer it.But it didn't go directly to Long Tianyu, but to Yao Yao.

Hearing a woman's voice coming from that side, Yi Qing didn't think it was strange either. People like Long Tianyu couldn't be picked up by just a phone call. Most of them would be transferred to his assistant. .

As soon as Yao Yao heard that it was Yi Qing who was speaking, her voice trembled, and she calmed down for two or three seconds before saying a few polite words.Yao Yao became even more nervous when she heard Yi Qing said that she wanted to make an appointment to meet Long Tianyu. She promised to help Yi Qing to ask questions on the phone, but after hanging up the phone, her mind was spinning quickly, thinking How can I cancel this appointment.
