Keeping up with the dry brother

Because he was well prepared, Qiao Yi was not at all timid about confronting Commander Duan again.

After getting off the set, he was politely invited into the car. The car passed through a city with colorful lights at night. Qiao Yi sat in the back seat and looked at the countless scenery passing by outside the window, feeling calm in his heart.

Duan Zhe called during the period, and the bell rang suddenly in the quiet environment, and the man in the front passenger seat looked back.

Qiao Yi smiled at the man, picked up the phone, and hung up.

The screen of the mobile phone was lit with a small piece of light that would not go out.

The man and Qiao Yi looked at each other for a moment, smiled to themselves, and turned their heads away.

Qiao Yi's finger slowly swiped across the screen.

Few family members set foot in Commander Duan's office.Duan Zhe often met with his father in the conference room, and when there were many people, they would be polite and aloof like strangers, but the two of them would quarrel with each other because of differences of opinion.

Duan Xi has never been here.So is Chen Yi.

Qiao Yi stepped into here, unexpectedly found that it is very warm.In other words, warm.

There are sofas, beds, and a room of [-] square meters, as if passing through the living room and corridor, and pushing open the door of the bedroom.

Sitting behind the office, Commander Duan raised his eyes and smiled at Qiao Yi.He said, "Sit down."

Qiao Yi instantly understood where Duan Zhe's calm and prestige came from. At this moment, he felt a strong oppressive force, and the culprit was still looking at him as if nothing had happened.

Qiao Yi took two steps forward, pulled a chair, and sat opposite Commander Duan.

Commander Duan said, "I'm really sorry to call you here so late. I didn't delay your work."

Qiao Yi looked at him and didn't see any embarrassment.He shook his head and said, "No. Actually, I'm ready... You will talk to me sooner or later."

Commander Duan raised his eyebrows and made a surprised expression: "Oh?"

Another familiar expression.Qiao Yi thought of Duan Zhe, he smiled unconsciously, and raised his eyes to those of Commander Duan.

Commander Duan's eyes were secretive.

Qiao Yi said: "Uncle Duan, let's open the skylight and speak honestly. If you ask me to leave Duan Zhe this time, then I will not agree to you."

"I am very busy with work, and I have always been. From the moment I stepped into this building, I knew that my life can only be described in one line of poetry—bow my head and be willing to be a ox."

White smoke billowed from the teacup in front of Commander Duan, and his eyes seemed to be looking at the smoke, but they didn't.

"I owe a lot to my family. I didn't take much part in the growth of Duan Zhe and Duan Xi. Duan Zhe is a dude and Duan Xi is stubborn. They are all my responsibility."

Hearing this, Qiao Yi suddenly said: "They are very good people, I mean, in my opinion, they are all very good and kind people."

Commander Duan looked at Qiao Yi, and Qiao Yi met his eyes with a bit of stubbornness on his face.

After a while, Commander Duan smiled and shook his head: "Maybe. But as a father, you always have more requirements for your children."

Qiao Yi said straightforwardly: "No one is perfect."

Commander Duan stopped talking now, the cigar in his hand burned quietly, just like this man fell silent.Quiet and dignified.

Qiao Yi realized at this moment that he was too sharp and defensive.He was silent for two seconds, feeling the coolness on the back of his shirt.

Qiao Yi: "I'm sorry, you continue."

Commander Duan raised his head again, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

What he said was no longer so polite: "You like Duan Zhe very much, I can see that. But you are not equal. Are you sure that Duan Zhe is not a novelty to you?"

Qiao Yi: "I'm sure."

"It's good for young people to have self-confidence." Commander Duan smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Have you heard of the spring effect? ​​The greater the pressure, the greater the resistance. The state of Duan Zhe a while ago It can also be seen that he is very dissatisfied with my meddling in his life. I asked him to get married, but he refused to get married. I asked him to break up with you, but he just wanted to be with you. "

Commander Duan looked at Qiao Yi's slightly pale face, took a puff of cigarette leisurely, and said, "If one day I don't care about him anymore, and his persistence to prove himself is gone, how long can the relationship between you two last? "

Qiao Yi didn't speak.He looked at Commander Duan for a while, then suddenly said, "Commander Duan, do you love Auntie Chen?"

Commander Duan was very surprised at this moment.

Qiao Yi said: "I heard from my mother that when you met Aunt Chen, you pretended to be a soldier with no background. Aunt Chen thought you were poor and had no future. But you and the platoon leader succeeded in robbing your girlfriend..."

"What do you want to say?" Commander Duan interrupted him, saying, "Neither you nor Duan Zhe are comparable to me."

Qiao Yi said calmly: "Human nature is always similar."

"Human nature is always despicable," Commander Duan looked at him coldly, "How did you and Duan Zhe get started? Do you want me to repeat it again? Duan Zhe was just looking at your face at the beginning, what about five years from now? What about ten years? If one day Duan Zhe falls in love with someone younger and more beautiful, what will you do?"

Qiao Yi confronted each other: "Duan Zhe had someone else before me, even when he was with me a long time ago, but I am the only one left."

Commander Duan showed a trace of pity mixed with contempt: "So you think you won?"

"I didn't..." Qiao Yi denied subconsciously. He shook his head and sighed: "It's just that you can't judge other people's feelings at will. Although Duan Zhe is your son, he is first and foremost an independent person."

Commander Duan looked fiercely at Qiao Yi at this moment.

He tilted his head and looked at Qiao Yi for a long time, then laughed.Commander Duan said slowly: "Your views are as naive as the college students who first came to me."

Qiao Yi was very calm: "I don't intend to offend. But you are like the yellow rosewood chaise longue chair I saw in my hometown when I was a child, noble and majestic but pedantic."

After saying these words, Qiao Yi subconsciously straightened his body, waiting for Commander Duan to be furious.

Unexpectedly, Commander Duan was not angry. He asked, "Where is Duan Zhe now?"

Qiao Yi replied, "On a business trip in Xi'an."

Commander Duan smiled slowly, full of doubts: "Oh?"

He leaned forward, grabbed the landline, pressed a few buttons, and then pressed the release button. When he looked at Qiao Yi again, the expression on his face could be described as arrogant.

After a few beeps, Duan Zhe's voice sounded.

"dad."

Commander Duan said, "Where are you now?"

"I was in the hotel."

"Is it the hotel I arranged?"

Duan Zhe became impatient: "Of course." He paused for a few seconds and said, "Together with my fiancee."

Commander Duan leisurely knocked on the cigarette ash, glanced at Qiao Yi, and continued, "I want to hear her voice."

But after a while, a female voice came out: "Uncle Duan."

Commander Duan nodded slowly, and his tone instantly became gentle: "Xiaomo, you and Duan Zhe are well, I wish you a happy time."

"Thank you, uncle, take care of yourself."

There was a busy tone on the phone.Qiao Yi listened in a daze, and Commander Duan said, "Why, do you still want to tell me about your theory?"

Qiao Yi: "You're driving us apart. I won't believe it. I believe in Duan Zhe, but not you."

Commander Duan said: "But you are flustered, don't try to deny it. Duan Zhe and his fiancée, who are alone and widowed, are in the hotel late at night. What do you think they are doing?"

Qiao Yi: "..."

Commander Duan stretched in his seat.He is a calm and steady lion, Duan Zhe still feels like a baby in front of him, let alone Qiao Yi.

What Qiao Yi was facing was an enemy who had laid out the entire chess game and was staring down at him, who was powerless to struggle.

After a long time, Qiao Yi suddenly said: "I heard from Duan Zhe that when he was 15 years old, you and Aunt Chen almost divorced."

Commander Duan casually tapped the cigarette ash: "There is little friction between husband and wife, why does Duan Zhe talk about everything?"

"Really?" Qiao Yi said: "At that time, rumors spread all over the city, and Duan Zhe saw that aunt come to the house more than once..."

Commander Duan finally changed his expression: "Qiao Yi!"

Qiao Yi continued fearlessly: "At that time, you were busy arranging disaster relief for the troops, and the entire military compound was in a turmoil. Everyone was waiting for you to come back to watch the joke, but no one waited."

Commander Duan's face was gloomy and terrifying.

Qiao Yi was not affected by this low pressure, perhaps because he had experienced too many times that another very similar face was furious.

"I dare to ask, regardless of whether this affair is true or not. You didn't divorce Aunt Chen, is it largely because Aunt Chen never asked you?"

Commander Duan didn't answer him.

Qiao Yi smiled slightly: "Look. Auntie Chen loves you, so she believes in you. So you will not succeed today, because I also believe in Duan Zhe. A person will always believe in someone with a lonely heart in his life."

He gritted his teeth, overcame the strong physical impulse to tremble, and said word by word: "I will always trust him."

Before Qiao Yi left, Commander Duan only said: "You are not Chen Yi."

Qiao Yi turned his back to the suffocating room, and said calmly: "Human nature is always similar."

Commander Duan said with great interest: "If Duan Zhe commits a crime one day... and there are rumors like that, do you believe him?"

"I don't believe rumors from outsiders." Qiao Yi said, "If I see it with my own eyes, or if Duan Zhe has a showdown with me, I will leave him."

"That's when you'll feel how ridiculous you are today."

Qiao Yi was noncommittal and said, "If you have this time, you should go home and spend time with Aunt Chen."

"Speaking of this," Commander Duan said slowly behind Qiao Yi, "I suddenly forgot. You should go to my house quickly, you Auntie Chen and your mother want to know—"

He deliberately paused before saying, "Why did their sons get mixed up?"
