Six years later.

The internal line rang, and a white hand took the microphone, and a calm voice rang out, "Mr. Qiao?"

"Come to the office and bring in last year's performance report. Also, let me know that the meeting will be held at 10:30." A pleasant female voice came out of the microphone, with inherent confidence.

Yue Fan hummed calmly, and skilfully sorted out the documents and went to the office inside.

She reached out and knocked on the door twice, and when she heard "Come in", she turned the handle and pushed the door in.

She walked to the table and put the report on the table, "This is last year's performance report."

Qiao Shan was frowning and looking at the document in his hand, without looking up, he just hummed lightly, "You go out first, don't forget to notify the meeting."

Yue Fan walked outside without saying a word, and before reaching the door, he heard Qiao Shan say again: "Do you check if I have a lot of schedule in the afternoon?"

"I need to talk to Wan Sheng about advertising at two o'clock in the afternoon."

Qiao Shan was thoughtful, "Okay, I see. After the meeting, let's go have a meal together."

Yue Fan paused, "Is Shui Bei coming?"

Qiao Shan's pretty lips raised a sneer, "Come on! How could you not come? Why can't I find time for such an idler?"

"I won't go." Yue Fan knew Qiao Shan was talking ironically when he heard Qiao Shan's tone, so he refused immediately and walked out.

have to!This is probably because my little wife is too busy to accompany her, so she is holding back her anger.As long as her mind is not broken, she can't agree.

"Have you seen the advertising plan?"

Although Yue Fan didn't agree, he went to have dinner with Qiao Shan in the end.

Yue Fan took a piece of egg and put it in his mouth, chewed it unhurriedly before saying: "Look." Then he ate slowly.

Qiao Shan raised his eyebrows, "Yuefan, how many years have you been with me?"

Yue Fan glanced at her, "Two years."

"Yes, it's been two years, why do you think you haven't changed at all in these two years?"

"What do you want to say?" Yue Fan put down his chopsticks, took a tissue and wiped his mouth.

"With your temper, you are lucky to have met a boss like me, or else you would have been resigned a long time ago."

Yue Fan replied calmly: "To each other, you have a temper, but I can serve you well."

Just as Qiao Shan was about to say something, the cell phone rang in her hand. As soon as she saw the name on it, she stretched out her hand, but before she could touch the cell phone, she glanced at Yue Fan again.

Yue Fan pretended not to see her boss eager to answer the phone.

Qiao Shan put her hand back and said with a gesture, "Let her dry first."

"Oh." Yue Fan nodded, discussing how the boss would die.

The private room was very quiet, except for the symphony of bowls and chopsticks colliding, there was only one bell ringing non-stop.

Qiao Shan curled her fingers, her eyes were always on the phone, when she felt that she would have to hang up if she didn't pick it up, she was just about to reach for it when the phone stopped ringing abruptly.

Qiao Shan: ...It's okay, Shuibei should call again.

Yue Fan couldn't help but glanced at Qiao Shan, and found that his boss was eating food calmly and unhurriedly, feeling in his heart, the boss was really determined this time, how could she know that Qiao Shan was extremely depressed, over there He didn't call me anymore!

Yue Fan couldn't help persuading her: "Shuibei is a junior this year, so she should be busy, so don't push her too hard."

It's okay not to mention this matter, but Qiao Shan got angry when she mentioned it, she coldly scolded: "It's what she deserves! She's a little fool, can she not be busy if she rushes to do everything?"

Yue Fan smiled, "Don't you just like her stupidity?"

Qiao Shan couldn't help but put on a smile, but his mouth was still unforgiving, "Tch, fortunately, we can't have a baby, or if the baby inherits her IQ, I will definitely put the baby back and let her have a new life. "

"No, you won't even give birth to a stupid son, you don't want to."

Qiao Shan laughed and didn't speak. After a while of silence, she asked, "Why haven't you found another one after so many years?"

Yue Fan was taken aback, "What are you looking for?"

Qiao Shan clicked his tongue, "Don't play dumb."

Yue Fan's face suddenly became gloomy, looking lifeless and gray.

Qiao Shan let out a sigh of relief, "Forget it, don't talk about this. You quickly adjust this state for me, and you have to see the client later, just don't scare people with your expression."

In the afternoon, Yue Fan and Qiao Shan went to discuss the advertising contract.

"I've seen the advertising plan, and it's very creative. I really want to meet the person who made the plan." Qiao Shan said with a smile, with elegance in his demeanor.

Mr. Chen smiled happily, like a Maitreya Buddha, he said: "A newcomer who has not been in the company for two years, Mr. Qiao, if you want to meet, let's have a meal together."

"Okay, I'm not kidding."

"I know that the worst thing you Mr. Qiao is good at is politeness. I know. If I have time next week, I will bring her to dinner with us."

After negotiating the contract, Yue Fan and Qiao Shan returned to the company.

Today is Friday, tomorrow is a weekend, and I get off work early.Yue Fan packed his things early, took his bag and windbreaker and left the company.

It's October, and the days are getting cooler every day.As soon as Yue Fan went out, a gust of wind blew over, she tightened her clothes and took a taxi to go back.

Halfway through the walk, she suddenly remembered that there was no food at home, and she had to cook later. Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a big supermarket in front of her. She said to the driver, "Master, please stop at the supermarket in front."

After getting out of the car, Yuefan went to the supermarket. As soon as she opened the door and went in, she felt that she was wrapped in warm air. The supermarket had already turned on the air conditioner in this weather.

The food in the supermarket is clean but not fresh, Yue Fan doesn't care, he just cooks something for himself.

"Aren't you amazing? Just beat him up if he doesn't listen to you... What do you mean I used to be like this in high school? I started to fight in high school, and he almost beat people into the hospital! No matter how busy you are at work, You have to take good care of him too! Otherwise, if you commit a crime and enter the juvenile detention center, it will be too late to regret it."

Yue Fan pushed the shopping cart to the shelf to pick up seasonings, a woman's clear voice came from the opposite side of the shelf, Yue Fan paused for the hand holding the salt, the voice was a bit familiar.

"Okay, I'll go back after a while, you don't want me to take care of it! If my aunt allows, I can beat him up to eight times a day! Okay, then I'll hang up."

Yue Fan felt that the tone of the man's words became more and more familiar, she was stunned for a while in front of the shelf before she remembered to take a look, but when she went around there, there was no one there.

Yue Fan smiled wryly, how is it possible?She hates the north the most, why did she come here?

Yue Fan rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, he seemed to miss her more and more recently, probably Qiao Shan was showing affection in front of her all day long, really.

Yue Fan pushed the shopping cart to the cashier to pay the bill. She turned her back to the door and didn't see Xue Qi going out with the bag.

Yue Fan caught a cold after that day, probably because his clothes were thin.

On weekends and weekends, she just huddled at home and did nothing. She sat on the sofa with a pillow in her arms and watched movies, and she spent the whole afternoon watching them.

She has had a cold for two days and still hasn't recovered, and she still has a runny nose.Qiao Shan urged her to see a doctor, but Yue Fan couldn't go, because the cold was getting worse.

"Shall I let you have an afternoon off?" Qiao Shan was a little worried when he saw that Yuefan's cheeks were flushed.

Yue Fan waved his hands with a hoarse voice, "It's okay, I can still hold on, let me take an afternoon off, I'll be busy again tomorrow."

Qiao Shan didn't say anything anymore, just let her go home when she felt unable to hold on.

"I'm going to have dinner with Mr. Chen tonight, are you going over?"

Yue Fan was silent for a while, "Go, I want to meet that person too."

At dinner, Yue Fan followed Qiao Shan to the agreed hotel.

Qiao Shan pushed the door open and entered the private room, and said before seeing anyone, "Mr. Chen has been waiting for a long time."

Mr. Chen inside immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Where? We came too early."

Yue Fan followed Qiao Shan and followed her into the private room. Before he even raised his eyes, Mr. Chen said again: "Mr. Qiao, this is Xue Qi who worked on the advertising project. Come Xue Qi, this is the general manager of Qiao Shi Enterprise." .”

"Mr. Qiao, hello."

Yue Fan's head was groggy and a little sleepy, but at this moment it seemed as if his head had exploded, and his ears were buzzing.

She looked over Qiao Shan's shoulder in shock at the person standing by the round table, Xue Qi?Xue Qi?

With shawl and long hair, wearing a black professional suit, her appearance is almost the same as before, with a bit more mature temperament, but her eyes are no longer the same infatuation and tenderness as before.

Yue Fan knew that Xue Qi had seen him too, but her eyes were calm, as if she didn't know him. In Xue Qi's eyes, she was indeed just a secretary who came to eat with the boss.

Qiao Shan didn't notice what was wrong with Yue Fan, and said to Yue Fan with a smile: "Yue Fan, come on, didn't you say you want to get to know him?"

There was a gloomy look on Yue Fan's eyebrows, she walked over slowly, stretched out her hand to Xue Qi, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hello, Yue Fan."

Xue Qi's beautiful eyes swept over her hand, she reached out to hold her hand with a smile, and said softly, "Xue Qi."

At that moment, Yue Fan felt as if his heart had been hit hard.

She remembered that Byron said in "The Death of Spring", "If I will see you, it will be years later. If I greet you, I will greet you with tears and silence."

She never thought that when she met again after many years, the one who hadn't come out of the past was herself.

Xue Qi just shook her hand lightly, and immediately let go.

The four of them sat down, Yue Fan was not in good spirits at first, but after seeing Xue Qi, she was in a daze, and she stared straight at the wine glass in front of her.

"Come on, let's meet the four of us. It's a happy cooperation." Mr. Chen raised his glass, Qiao Shan and Xue Qi also raised their glasses, and Yue Fan was the only one who didn't move.

Mr. Chen was a little surprised, Qiao Shan put down his chopsticks, and immediately said: "Mr. Chen is sorry, she is sick and cannot drink alcohol today. I will drink this glass for her."

"That's fine."

Qiao Shan thought that Yue Fan was uncomfortable, so he couldn't concentrate. After drinking, he leaned over and whispered in Yue Fan's ear: "Whether you agree or not, don't come tomorrow. In your state, I'm afraid you'll spoil the matter." It was handled in a mess."

Yue Fan clenched his fist and glanced at Xue Qi.

After eating, Qiao Shan asked Yue Fan to take a taxi home. Yue Fan didn't say a word, his eyes followed Xue Qi all the time, and when he saw that she was about to get in Mr. Chen's car and leave quickly, he said: "Miss Xue, Would you like a cup of tea?"

Xue Qi was taken aback, and just about to open her mouth to refuse, she saw her boss winking at her, she smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qiao Shan frowned, and a playful look flashed in his eyes.

There was a teahouse near the hotel. It was just after the meal time and there were very few people in the teahouse. The two chose a corner seat by the window.

When the two were together, Xue Qi was not as polite as before. She turned her head to look out the window and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Yue Fan didn't know what to say, and she didn't know why she was looking for Xue Qi, she looked at the familiar side face, and said with difficulty for a long time, "You...how did you come back to the north? Didn't you say you don't like the north anymore."

Xue Qi said that she doesn't like the weather in the north, or the habits of the north.

Xue Qi hooked the corners of her mouth and laughed, "After so many years, people will change. For example, I used to hate coriander, but now I can eat it. For example, I used to love tomato soup, but now I'm tired of it.

"For another example, I used to like someone very much, but now, I also let go."

Yue Fan's hand holding the handle of the teacup tightened suddenly, and she became even more dizzy, yes!yes!It's been so many years.

"I'm sorry." Yue Fan said bitterly, her throat seemed to be red and swollen, and it became difficult to speak.

She was too young back then, and the pain of her grandmother's death almost destroyed her, making her unable to face Xue Qi, and making her use the cruelest means to treat the person who liked her so much.

But as time went by, the pain slowly dissipated. She looked back on that incident and realized that she was wrong.

Like her, Xue Qi loved her grandma. If it was really because of her that she caused her grandma to die, Xue Qi would suffer a hundred times more, and even lose the face of seeing her.

Everything is just her lies, but there are some things, it is a sin to understand too late, you see, her retribution is coming.

Xue Qi was slightly taken aback, "No, it's all over."

The two sat together for a long time, but said very little.One didn't know how to speak, and the other didn't want to speak.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xue Qi made an excuse to leave.

Yue Fan looked at Xue Qi's back, feeling a sense of gloom in her heart that could not be dissipated, her eyes were a little sore, seeing that back getting farther and farther away, her heart seemed to be twisted together.

But who is to blame?

Her heart was in a dull pain. When she shut Xue Qi out, she felt the same way, maybe it hurt even more.

Xue Qi tried her best to keep her eyes wide open, so as not to cry, she never thought that she would meet Yue Fan here, never thought that her acting skills would be so good.

This time, she really didn't take the initiative anymore.If Yue Fan really liked her, he would not be willing to let her go.

But after she walked so many steps, the people behind her still didn't catch up.

Xue Qi's tears flowed down, she didn't even have the courage to turn her head, she was afraid that the people behind her would have disappeared without a trace.

You see, even if you know the truth, you still refuse to have me?Xue Qi smiled bitterly and wiped away her tears.

"Wait!" Xue Qi suddenly heard a sound of chaotic footsteps behind her, and she forgot to cry for a moment.

"I'm not full just now, can you cook me another meal?"

Xue Qi covered her eyes and squatted on the ground crying softly, her pretended strength no longer existed, she choked up and said, "Yue Fan, after so many years, your love words still haven't improved."

Yue Fan looked at her trembling shoulders, squatted down and hugged her lightly, "But I know, I've turned the love I had when I was young into love."

That day, Yue Fan followed Xue Qi to her house.

Xue Qi was busy in the kitchen, neither of them mentioned what happened back then, the scar could only heal slowly with time.

After Yue Fan knew the truth, she couldn't find Xue Qi.

Only then did she realize how little she knew about this person, and it turned out that her liking was so shallow.

Xue Qi looked at Yue Fan's slightly flushed cheeks, "Are you sick?"

"It's okay, just a little cold." Yue Fan raised his face and put it in his mouth.

Although the two knew that the other had their own in their hearts, they were still embarrassed.

After all, they haven't seen each other for six years, and they are not familiar with each other now.

"You haven't been back to your hometown for a long time." Xue Qi eased the atmosphere between the two, and she began to ramble.

Yue Fan listened carefully and glanced at her from time to time.

"Oh, by the way, do you still remember Lu Ziwei?"

Yue Fan's hand stopped, "What's wrong?"

"It looks like he's been sentenced for wounding."

"That's it, it's good." Yue Fan lowered his head and touched the scar on his stomach.Yeah, it's pretty good.

That day, Xue Qi said, I am afraid of Yuefan.

She opened the door and followed Xue Qi, wanting to send her home, just this one time, really just this one time.

But she still ran into Lu Ziwei, she never knew that man would be so crazy, he took out a gun from his pocket and stabbed her.

She didn't know how she was saved, how she was sent to the hospital, she only knew that she was so scared lying in the snow, she was afraid that Lu Ziwei would hurt Xue Qi, but she could only lie in the snow, letting her consciousness gradually disappear .

"Are you leaving?" Xue Qi stood at the door and sent Yue Fan off.

Yue Fan found that she hadn't changed, but she hadn't gotten used to it yet.

She put her arms around Xue Qi, and said softly: "You know what? Six years ago, I almost collapsed. The person who made me laugh died, and the person who made me laugh was driven away by me. I feel that my own world It was all dark, but fortunately, fortunately, I met you again."

Xue Qi also hugged her back, she said: "Yue Fan, if you give up on me this time, I really, really won't want you again."

Yue Fan directly pushed Xue Qi to the door and wanted to kiss her, but suddenly stopped when he approached her mouth, she smiled awkwardly seeing Xue Qi's nervous appearance, "I can't do it now, I have a cold."

Xue Qi pressed her head directly, and put her lips on it, "It's okay, a cold won't kill you."

Yue Fan rubbed her lips and murmured softly, "Xue Qi, from today onwards, my life will focus on getting to know you and... loving you."

Yue Fan knew how important Xue Qi was to him. With her grandma gone, Xue Qi was not only a lover, but also a family member to her.

"Don't push me away again." Xue Qi said, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.

The six wasted years can only be made up with later time.
