Break up

Tang Yi is terribly stubborn in certain things. He doesn't want to admit that he still puts Gu Yanting in a special position, but that's the fact.

When the two first met five years ago, he would not allow others to bully Gu Yanting. He used the hardships he had experienced in advance as capital to drive away the people around Gu Yanting with ulterior motives or duplicity.In the five years they were together, they also broke up.When you are good, you have to be affectionate and affectionate, and when you are really anxious, you can't wait to see you die in battle.Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, the relationship between the two parties is not very clear now, and he still does not allow anyone to hurt him in the slightest.

The relationship was much deeper than he had imagined.

If it was Shen Fan or Zhou Hao who encountered something today, he would never make the same choice.The wealth he has accumulated in the past few years is not enough for him to squander like this.What's more, buying all the shares of the company also means cutting off the relationship with the head office on another level, and the more important level here is the human relationship.

Shen Fan chose to control the subsidiary by agreement at the beginning, and put most of the shares in Tang Yi's hands. Apart from the fact that he did not care about this business at the time, it was more of his trust in Tang Yi.Now that Tang Yi makes such a request, it is a bit ruthless and domineering in comparison.

Of course, Shen Fan, who had just become the leader two years ago, was not the same as the current Shen Fan, who had been immersed in business wars of all sizes for a long time.Those emotions of distress, excitement and guilt that override reason have gradually faded away, and he has also learned to weigh the pros and cons rationally, trying to find an optimal balance point.

Tang Yi clearly saw the struggle and hesitation in Shen Fan's eyes.So his gaze sank slightly, and he made another plan in an instant - if Shen Fan disagreed, then he chose to leave ER.

His career used to be what he was most proud of, and it was also where he was always better than Gu Yanting.A more decent job and a higher salary are the confidence for him to occupy a dominant position in the lives of the two of them. Apart from financial satisfaction, it is more about allowing him to enjoy the desire to control under Gu Yanting's admiring gaze. and presence.For a while, he couldn't even tell whether he liked Gu Yanting, or enjoyed the thrill of conquest and control.

Today, however, none of this is comparable.

He was ready to completely let go of these things, and what he was waiting for now was a judgment from Shen Fan.

--

The way back was very long, and although they were all in the urban area, it still took a lot of time.Halfway through, the snow was heavy.Pieces of snowflakes fluttered under the street lamps, and when they fell into the air, they were gently lifted up by the wind.

Tang Yi copied his pockets and walked forward, thinking of seven or eight missed calls from Gu Yanting.So he rubbed his hands, took out his phone, and called back.

No one answered the phone and hung up automatically after a busy tone.I don't know if Gu Yanting didn't see it or was angry, Tang Yi breathed in his hand, and put the phone back in his pocket.

When we walked to Jianghuai Road, the number of people finally gradually increased. There was deicing agent sprayed by the municipal government on the road in advance, and the speed of the cars going back and forth was not affected at all.When Tang Yi reached the last intersection, his phone rang.After crossing the road, he took it out and took a look, it was a text message from Gu Yanting.

--Are you asleep?

Tang Yi rubbed his hands together and replied with one word, "No."

Almost as soon as it was sent, Gu Yanting came back, "I didn't sleep either. What are you doing?"

Tang Yidong's hands were a little stiff, and the temperature of his fingertips was very low, which made the touch screen not very sensitive.He wanted to call, but after a pause, he felt that this scene was very familiar.When he and Gu Yanting were together, it was inconvenient to call every day. At that time, phone bills were very expensive, and only the couple cards and family numbers on campus were more cost-effective.The two of them didn't have a relationship number, so they often sent all kinds of boring text messages without getting tired.

have you eaten?

Didn't eat, how about you?

also not.

……

have you slept?

going to bed, how about you?

me too.

……

Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I miss you a little bit.

Um?It's okay you, what's the wind.

Nothing.

Go to sleep if you have nothing to do, I miss you too.

Tang Yi looked up, and he was about to arrive at the apartment, so he took two quick steps.After walking for a while, I felt uneasy, stopped again, and gasped at my fingers, stretched my right hand from the collar to my neck and pressed it for a while to warm it up, before I finished typing the reply.

——I'll be at the apartment soon.And you?

--Me too.

Tang Yi smiled, and when he was about to put away the phone, he froze for a moment, then clicked to look at it again.Soon, Gu Yanting sent another message - look up.

On the avenue in front of several apartment buildings, there stood a man wrapped in a black down jacket, with only his head exposed, and a thick layer of snow fell on the top of his head.When Tang Yi looked up in surprise, he was quickly gathering his legs and feet, standing at attention and posing in a casual and cold posture.It's a pity that the smile on his face was a bit grinning, he didn't have the cool and handsome feeling similar to the Matrix that he tried to express, but he looked like a big fool.

After Tang Yi put his phone back in his pocket, he ran a few steps and shouted, "Why are you here?"

Gu Yanting just laughed.When Tang Yi approached, he realized that he still had a dog in his arms.The puppy was held in his arms, only a fluffy head was exposed.Tang Yi didn't know what expression to use to face Gu Yanting for a while, seeing Xiao Jia hurriedly turned his gaze, stretched out his hand and scratched the puppy's chin with his index finger.

Gu Yanting also stretched out his hand and scratched together, muttering while scratching, "I miss you."

Tang Yi: "..."

"Sao Fatty told me, who is here, I'm worried, so I'll take a look." Gu Yanting paused, and carefully looked at Tang Yi's face.

Almost the moment he heard who, Tang Yi's smile froze.

The movement of his hands stopped for a moment, and he let out a slow oh.The surprise and even a little bit of joy just now disappeared without a trace. After a while, he withdrew his hand and took a step back calmly.

Gu Yanting's eyes suddenly became complicated.

Tang Yi's face changed too quickly, and a big displeasure was clearly written on his face.He moved his mouth and had no choice but to walk home with the dog in his arms.

Tang Yi's face remained cold. When the two of them took the elevator, Gu Yanting cryptically expressed that he had waited downstairs for more than an hour, but he couldn't make Tang Yi turn his head to look at him, let alone get a bowl of tea. The ginger soup that he hates so much but looks forward to.

In the end, Tang Yi went home and went into the bedroom. He could only rely on himself. He dug out a piece of ginger from the kitchen, frowned, poured out a glass of brown sugar ginger water, and sent it to Tang Yi's bedside.

Tang Yi was sitting on the bed reading a book. Gu Yanting called him several times. Seeing that his brows and eyes were fixed and he was concentrating on reading, he moved two steps uncomfortably in place, and finally couldn't help pressing his hand on Tang Yi's book, sighing He took a deep breath and said, "If you don't want to mention him, don't mention him. Don't always be so cold-faced when I come all the way here."

"Whether I want to mention him or not, don't you know?" Tang Yi took off his glasses, threw them aside, and looked at Gu Yanting coldly, "You came here so worried, what kind of face do you hope I will give you?"

Gu Yanting hesitated to speak aggrieved, and finally moved his lips, and said, "I just don't feel relieved, you haven't come back so late, I thought...you and him..."

"What do you think?" Tang Yi snorted from his nose, "What do you think I did to him?"

"..." Gu Yanting was startled, then blinked again, and it took a long time before he slowly said "ah".His expression was a bit complicated, and after a while he suddenly said, "No, I'm afraid he'll do something to you..."

Tang Yi frowned, feeling something was wrong.He didn't speak any more, just looked at the shocked Gu Yanting.

After Gu Yanting swallowed a few times, he still asked nervously with a frightened expression, "What are you doing to him, no, you and Shen Fan...it's you..." He saw Tang Yi suddenly looked up He came over, hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't mention him if you don't mention him, can you drink the ginger soup first."

"...No," Tang Yi raised his eyebrows, watched Gu Yanting hand over the small bowl hesitantly, and asked hesitantly, "You listen to Sao Fat... what did you say?"

"It's nothing, it means that Shen Fan is back... I'm asking you to meet me at the hotel."

Gu Yanting paused when he saw Tang Yi's actions, and then silently shut up.He waited until Tang Yi finished drinking, and he walked back after washing the dishes, and said rather unpleasantly, "But, even if you are on it, I'm jealous."

In the relationship between Tang Yi and Gu Yanting, the one who represents has always been Lin Rui.Tang Yi was not unhappy when he saw Gu Yanting suddenly appear today, but when he heard the word "who" and "worried", he couldn't help feeling depressed.So after he had a big oolong right now, he remembered that when Shen Fan called, he didn't avoid Sao Pang.

Gu Yanting guessed that he heard the keyword "Shen Fan" when he was looking for Sao Pang, and then his brain was wide open, and he made up a lot of dramas about first love and ex-boyfriend who regretted turning around to chase Tang Yi and make an appointment at the hotel to plot an affair.

Tang Yi was a little embarrassed after he figured it out, and he couldn't laugh or cry.Seeing Gu Yanting standing aside, apparently still entangled in Shen Fan's affairs, he couldn't help coughing lightly, and said a little seriously.

"come here."

Gu Yanting sat down as promised.Tang Yi gave way to the bed again, patted his position just now, "Sit here."

There were still water stains on Gu Yanting's trouser legs after the snow melted, and he didn't have time to change his clothes after returning to the house.He hesitated for a while before he stood up, when Tang Yi changed his mind again, "Forget it, go take a hot bath to get rid of the cold."

Tang Yi stretched out his foot from under the quilt and kicked Gu Yanting's butt, raised his chin and motioned for the closet, "Find a pajamas for yourself."

Gu Yanting found out a pair of pajamas, and at the same time found out an identical pair for Tang Yi.His thought of wanting to wear couple clothes was naked and direct, but he was not very confident when he handed it to Tang Yi.Tang Yi watched with leisure as he pushed the set of pajamas towards him, and then pushed it again.A colorful face that didn't know whether he was jealous or shocked still didn't recover, only a pair of eyes were watery and full of various emotions.

For a moment, Tang Yi suddenly had the urge to turn into a beast.

After Gu Yanting took a shower, he changed into his pajamas, rubbed his hair out, and suddenly looked up and saw Tang Yi who was already sitting on the sofa.Tang Yi also changed into the set of pajamas he took out, and his skin became fairer and more delicate under the fleece material.It's just that he didn't read the book at the moment, but changed the TV station from time to time.

Gu Yanting's eyes stopped on him for a moment, then came over and sat beside him, a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

The heating in the apartment is not very hot, so the air conditioner is turned on in the bedroom, which is much warmer and more comfortable than the living room.

Tang Yi's facial features became much softer under the light. He put the remote control aside, lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, then looked at Gu Yanting and said, "I have something to tell you."

"What?"

"I want to buy the remaining shares of T City Company, and it will have nothing to do with Er in the future." Tang Yi smiled and sighed again.

He actually wanted to tell Gu Yanting all the current situation, he didn't want the latter to be kept in the dark, but he couldn't help hesitating in his heart—what if Shen Fan thought too much?What if Zhou Dongchuan doesn't care about this?What if that past event won't be mentioned?

Did he hide it from Gu Yanting, or did he tell him at the risk?Can he accept it?Will it be a hit?What will happen to Gu's father and Gu's mother?

He thought for a long time without a clue, so he could only pick out this part of himself and say it first.

Gu Yanting was obviously stunned for a moment, and then looked at Tang Yi with wide eyes in disbelief, "Are you crazy? How much does it cost? Isn't it good that you are doing this now?"

Tang Yi didn't speak.

"Do you really want to do this??" Gu Yanting reached out and touched Tang Yi's head in great doubt, a little confused.Tang Yi gave him a cool look, and he took it back.

After a while, he suddenly stood up again and walked quickly to the bedroom. After a while, he took out a mobile phone, rummaged through the drawer under the TV cabinet, and found a piece of paper and a pen.

Tang Yifa was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw his movements a little puzzled, "What are you doing?"

Gu Yanting said, "Calculate how much money I have on me."

"..."

"Shouldn't your money be enough?" Gu Yanting looked back at him and said, "Shouldn't it? Isn't it? Let me figure out how much I have in total."

Tang Yi glanced at him silently, thought something was wrong, and asked him incredulously, "You don't even ask me why?"

Gu Yanting was busy checking the balance of the bank card, when he heard the words, he turned his head and asked, "Why?"

"No reason."

"Oh." Gu Yanting turned around, turned back after a while, grinned at Tang Yi with a pen in his mouth, "I know what you mean. No matter why, you must have a reason for doing this, how could I I'm stopping you."

Tang Yi leaned his legs on the corner of the sofa, propped his forehead with one hand, and was watching him from a distance to settle accounts.

He was not moved when he heard this, but he was a little speechless. He finally sighed, "Give me the money, are you afraid that I will lose everything? The company has just got out of trouble, and now it is pure cooperation with Kaisheng. It’s making money by making money, and even the project of the educational institution and the relationship network that we only captured in half a year were handed over to them.”

However, cooperation always requires sacrifices. Tang Yi has never mentioned these things to others. Outsiders are quite envious of seeing them go through difficulties in a good and prosperous way. In fact, only he himself knows that he has introduced Kaisheng into the interests that he has finally formed. How big is the danger in the league.Of course, looking at Kaisheng's boss is always a kind person, but after Tang Yi experienced what happened to Yan Ke, he no longer has so much confidence in his ability to judge people.

Gu Yanting really didn't care, and even said indifferently, "It's okay, it's a big deal to start all over again."

Tang Yi was speechless again, and finally sighed, "...you think too simply."

He didn't know if Gu Yanting wasn't thinking of anything bad at all at the moment, or if he really didn't care about the little fortune he had accumulated through years of hard work.Although in his opinion, it is mostly the former.Perhaps Gu Yanting had a kind of blind trust in him, that's why he felt that this matter was nothing serious except crazy.

Tang Yi frowned, and the next second, he felt the center of his brows feel heavy. Gu Yanting's palm had already covered his brows. .His whole body also turned sideways, with the other arm propped on Tang Yi's other side, and his upper body slightly protruding.

"I know you are worried, and I know that this matter will also be risky. But what to do without risk? Just try." Gu Yanting's voice was light but firm, as if he was talking about something he had been thinking about for a long time. Things, "Anyway, my money is yours, and I can earn more if I lose it all, but I don't want you to regret it."

He spoke very naturally, without any provocative expressions.Tang Yi felt a sharp stabbing pain in his heart, and then he was tightly wrapped by a kind of gentle emotion. Following the movements of Gu Yanting between his eyebrows, he regained his calm.

He slowly opened his eyebrows, and after Gu Yanting relaxed his movements, he closed his eyes and asked suddenly, "Yanting, let's talk about your work in the past two years, I haven't heard you talk about it yet."

--

Gu Yanting's experience in the past two years was a bit legendary, but after he told it in detail, Tang Yi realized that Gu Yanting didn't have much ability and that it wasn't for this face that resembled Zhou Hao that he had no chance to stand out at all, and it was just A subjective assumption.

Gu Yanting obviously sensed that Tang Yi had something on his mind, so he skipped the part where he followed his cousin to Hunan, and even the first period in Guangzhou, he only picked the good ones.He said that he didn't know the rules at the beginning and was reckless, omitting the details of being insulted by people pouring wine, and then he talked about the first list he made with heroism, also omitting drinking until he couldn't sit still on the chair and slipped out. To the ugliness under the table.

He was too desperate at the beginning, and even had a tendency to self-abuse. At that time, he hated Tang Yi with all his heart, and used all kinds of complicated emotions of resentment and regret on his work.But when he really faced Tang Yi, he couldn't tell it, he just talked about his magical encounter in Huayuan.

At that time, Huayuan was still their client, and Gu Yanting was taken by the company leader at that time to drink with a female boss of Huayuan.At that time, the female boss was very interested in him, asked a lot of personal questions, and then asked him to meet again in Huayuan two days later.

He later learned that this female boss was poached by Hua Yuan from another fund company.But he didn't understand it at the time, and he just went to the appointment based on being polite to the client, and then the female boss asked him a very simple question.

At that time, Huayuan invested in an Internet company, and the female boss asked Gu Yanting jokingly, if this Internet company launched a second round of financing, would Gu Yanting follow the investment.

At that time, Gu Yanting had forgotten all the few economic theories he had learned in college, and he sincerely apologized, saying that he didn't understand at all.The female boss said with a smile, just assuming, like assuming that you won the lottery of 500 million yuan, why are you nervous.Let you follow your intuition, whether you follow or not.

Gu Yanting smiled immediately, and said that he would follow if he was not short of money.

The female boss nodded, and after chatting for a while, she turned around and asked him what he would consider if he followed up with the investment if they were not the only investors in this company.

During that meeting, Gu Yanting didn't even have a sip of water. The female boss's questions were weird and irrelevant, and he was only asked to answer according to his intuition.

After the meeting, Gu Yanting successfully signed the contract with Hua Yuan, and was poached by Hua Yuan a week later.

Tang Yi didn't understand the following things very well, but he roughly understood that Gu Yanting's job now is to find cases and submit cases. Huayuan already has some old people in the venture capital industry, and these people already have The detached status is only caused by Gu Yanting's young age, which has attracted many speculations.

Even if he was born with a certain talent, he never stopped studying and improving during this period.However, even so, it is the industry reports and project analysis of the professionals in the team that finally determine whether the case he is optimistic about can be selected.

It's just that the sentiment in the capital market is not high at present, and the period for getting paid after the project is truly successful is too long, at least two or three years.Hua Yuan is rich and powerful, so he is never stingy with their salaries. Although Gu Yanting's income is high, it is not exaggerated in the whole department.

Tang Yi slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it. It seems that Gu Yanting does have a business sense that is different from ordinary people. Maybe he has inherited the genes of the Zhou family. Fortunately, what he is doing now is similar to that of Zhou Hao is not quite the same.

He remembered Shen Fan's speculation, hesitated and asked, "The acquisition case of your current technology company has something to do with you?"

Gu Yanting shook his head and said with a smile, "No, I just happened to come up with a bad idea, and then they borrowed it as labor."

Tang Yi looked at him, "When did it happen?"

"Just the last time I went back," Gu Yanting's lips curled up, "Zhou Dongchuan is too despicable to use you as a weapon. But my idea is useless, their relationship is much more complicated, I just join in the fun."

Tang Yi opened his mouth, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only laugh and joke about his situation at that time: "You are also quite capable, you can scare people when you meet for the first time."

"No," Gu Yanting hesitated, and said slowly, "I'm not bluffing her, I'm really optimistic about that company."

Tang Yi was taken aback for a moment.

"At that time, when I just graduated, I also wanted to start a company like that. So I checked a lot of information, I have confidence in them, and I sincerely hope that they can do a good job."

The snowflakes outside the window are getting bigger and bigger, and the world outside the window is a piece of white, and the usual dark night sky is also whitened by the heavy snow today.There was a blast in Tang Yi's mind, and a lot of consciousness and words seemed to have been blown away.

When they just graduated, Gu Yanting was obsessed and wanted to start a business. Gu’s father cobbled together 10,000+. The back view of his "gratitude" when he went to the advertising company to report...

And for quite some time afterwards, the longing and helpless compromise revealed in those eyes.

He suddenly didn't dare to think about what kind of emotion Gu Yanting would feel when he saw that the company he wanted to build had been realized by others.

Tang Yi often asked himself, does Gu Yanting love me?

The answer in his heart is not to love.

He was too young at the time, and while he was stubborn and proud in his heart, he also preconceived that Gu Yanting's actions were all in Lin Rui's direction.He thought it was a one-way love.So what he gave was love, and Gu Yanting's concession was a matter of course.

He never even thought about giving Gu Yanting a chance like what Gu Yanting told him today.

——"If you lose all your money, you can earn it again, but I don't want you to regret it."

Tang Yi's consciousness slowly returned, and Gu Yanting was looking at him with some worry, seeing him raise his eyes slightly, move his lips and say nothing.

Tang Yi's eyes gradually became clear, and a little smile even bloomed on his face.He leaned forward, reached out and grabbed Gu Yanting's hand to play with.

"sorry."

Gu Yanting was a little confused, "Huh?" He quickly understood and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I probably wouldn't be able to do it if I did it back then."

"You were not happy in that advertising company, were you?"

"Fortunately."

"Have you ever regretted it, or blamed me?" Tang Yi tilted his head and looked at him seriously, "I may have blocked your way to success."

"No." Gu Yanting was slightly surprised, and while answering, he covered Tang Yi's bare foot with the palm of his hand, and pulled it into his arms.

"Gu Yanting," Tang Yi let him move, and when he felt a warm touch on the instep, he asked in a low voice, "Have you ever treated Lin Rui like this?"

"..." Gu Yanting glanced at him, then shook his head, "No."

"Am I more important or your career?"

"you."

"Is it important for me or Lin Rui?"

Gu Yanting said all kinds of promises more than once, but Tang Yi never heard it in his heart.He preconceived and sentenced him to death, and never thought about the possibility of Gu Yanting's repentance.Maybe it was because of the shock he received today, and the emotions in his heart were too complicated.

Without warning, he directly asked the questions and grievances in his heart.

The tone was still a little stuffy, and there was some inexplicable grievance.

Gu Yanting didn't speak this time, and Tang Yi kept looking at his pajamas after he finished asking.Time froze for a moment, and then he heard Gu Yanting's slow and serious answer.

"I used to like him, whether it was gratitude or admiration, or even reconciliation. But this is not love, and he can't compare with you. I did and missed some things, but even then, I didn't compare him to him. You have a better idea. When he pursued Shen Fan, I did my best and sincerely blessed him. I didn't feel sad about who he was with or what he was doing."

"But you are different, Tang Yi, I heard that Shen Fan came back to look for you today, and I was so anxious that I went crazy. When I came, the plane was bumped several times, and when the faces of the others turned pale, I was only thinking that I must see you." To you. I can't imagine the scene where you are with any man. I'm jealous when you smile at them. In the past two years, I have abused myself a few times, and I have died waiting for you to regret it. I even cried when I thought of you for a while when I was worthless. I understand love too late, but I never thought of sharing it with others.”

"I don't dare to come back, just because I'm afraid I won't be able to help pestering you, but I'm not good enough for you."

"..." Tang Yi didn't know when he stretched out his hand to climb Gu Yanting's face, his whole body was in a daze.It was not the first time he heard these words, but it was the first time he began to believe them.Then, he seemed to see Gu Yanting's confused and sad faces in countless darkness in the past two years.

He didn't speak anymore, his eyes sank slightly, and he focused on the movements of his hands.His finger slowly slid down from the corner of Gu Yanting's forehead, touched his straight bridge of nose, and finally landed on the corner of his lips.

"You know? I like your place very much." Tang Yi said softly, and slowly leaned forward with his upper body.When their noses were almost touching, he stopped.

"kiss Me."
