— a little cold.

Shen Yan subconsciously gripped it stronger and more firmly.

Qi Jin's hands trembled heavily, obviously frightened by this action.

Shen Yan felt that his knuckles were tense, and he pulled back hard. If he hadn't buckled it himself, he might have hit the bottom of the table all at once.So there was a slight frown between his brows, instead of letting go, he resolutely kept this hand in his own.

Qi Jin has been "let go" several times in her life.

So, he won't be next.

"Mom," Shen Yan spoke for the second time, intending to finish what he couldn't continue just now, "Actually, he and I—"

[Actually, he and I are not friends, but lovers. 】

These words suddenly appeared in gray characters cast by an old-fashioned projector, projected into Qi Jin's blank mind, causing his heart to seize for a moment.

This line was said by myself many years ago.

When I first came out in front of my family, I told my parents, older sister, and younger brother.

The man who made him bravely say those words has since fled.It was because he was blind, and he accepted his fate. The injury was serious, but not the most fatal.

The most deadly injury was the father's slap in the face after hearing this sentence, the mother's wailing, the elder sister's bewildered lowering of her eyes, and the disgusted expression of the younger brother who was once closest to him —he will never forget it in his life.I can't forget the taste of hard rice grains swallowed together with tears when I was hospitalized in a car accident.

Shen Yan's family environment was not ideal at all, and now it is hard for her to have a normal conversation with her mother and regain a little sense of "home".

I, who is already homeless... can't implicate him anymore.

"Actually, I met him at work."

Qi Min suddenly snatched up a sentence and completed it in his own way.Even though he clearly felt the opponent's hand tightened slightly, he continued without changing his face.

Even laughing.

"I have an interview topic, and he happened to be my main interviewee. At first, it was just a working partnership, but later I got to know each other in private, and found that they got along very well, and became friends in the true sense."

It was the first time for the woman to hear Qi Jin talk about the details of their first acquaintance, and she nodded suddenly.

"An interview about animals?"

"Well, it's about rescuing small animals that have been abused. He happens to be one of the rescuers. Both medical skills and medical ethics are very good." Qi Yu smiled sincerely. Record the program and burn it into a DVD to give you a copy."

"From work to private contacts, you really are destined..." The woman sighed again.

"Haha."

Qi Jin smiled and looked down at the bowl of soup in front of him.His own smile reflected by Tang Shui was a bit pale, but he tried his best to ignore it, and pretended to the point that the other party would ignore him too: "Because you have a good son, and you are a... friend worth making."

But Shen Yan couldn't ignore this smile.

He listened to everything in silence, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, his expression solemn, and he stared at Qi Yu without moving.

Even if Qi Min didn't look back at him, he knew he wouldn't let go, because he hadn't even managed to break free with a single finger after struggling so far, and even his palm bones began to ache slightly because of his too much strength—however, such pain It made Qi Jin feel a little better, her heart was astringent and sweet.

The right knee slowly slanted over where the woman couldn't see, touched Shen Yan's left knee, and then stuck to Shen Yan's left knee, leaning quietly in a guilty and pleading posture.

At least, this action can make up for his willful behavior.

"Ah, I was so patronizing that I forgot to speak," the woman suddenly found that the three pairs of chopsticks on the table hadn't been touched, and hurriedly mobilized them to start a meal, "Let's eat, you're welcome."

"Uh..." Qi Yu was taken aback when he heard this.

Shen Yan is still holding his right hand at the moment, and he can't use his left hand. If he has been slow to move his chopsticks, the woman will be surprised if she doesn't notice it now.

At this moment, he really realized what it means to be "thorns on the back". The needle-like pain spread from his hands to his back, making it impossible for him to sit up straight with his chest straight.Guilty—it must be this kind of performance, he smiled helplessly.

"Why don't you eat it?" Neither of them moved, and the woman looked dazed.

"Shen Yan..." Qi Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and remind her.

But Shen Yan still held onto it tightly and wouldn't let go, which made him a little anxious, and he couldn't bear to grit his teeth and shake it off, so he sat on the stool with a pale face.

At this moment, Qi Jin's cell phone rang loudly.

Perhaps it was because of the suddenness that Shen Yan also seemed to be startled, her hand strength was not so strong, and Qi Wei quickly took advantage of the situation to pull out her hand.

While silently pleading guilty to Shen Yan, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone and connected the timely call: "Hello?"

"Xiao Qi, it's me."

"director."

Qi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the channel director's voice—if it was a work call, he would have an excuse to go out and answer it.He glanced at Shen Yan lightly, Shen Yan remained silent, and finally turned his gaze away from him, then slowly stood up from his seat and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm going out for a while, you guys go out first eat."

After leaving the ward, Qi Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, found a remote corner and stopped, and said gratefully to the channel director: "Thank you, director, this call came so timely."

The director is indeed the director, and his gossip-making nature has not changed at all: "What's the matter? What happened just now? I had dinner with girlfriend A and was caught by girlfriend B?"

Qi Yu nodded silently.

...Director, you...

…Let’s not say that your divergent thinking is too exaggerated, why do you think I am a playboy in your eyes…

"What A and B, they are having dinner with the elders, and they just don't know how to answer some questions."

"Oh, the question asked by the elders... I understand, I understand." The director probably thought of the blind date issue directly, and his laughter sounded cunning, "You haven't gotten married in the third year, have you been scolded by the family? "

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and said to himself: "But it's better not to be married..."

When Qi Jin heard the director say this, he was a little surprised: "Why?"

When I won an award in the news channel before, the director paid special attention to him. Based on the ideological policy of not letting the fat and water go to outsiders, he enthusiastically introduced to him the daughter of a certain relative, the granddaughter of a certain leader, and the student of a certain classmate. My niece... and so on and so on, all of them were pushed by me with excuses.It is really uncomfortable to say such words that are not in line with the style now.

The director paused for three seconds.

The director usually only pauses like this when announcing important news.Reflexively, Qi Jin slightly straightened her back and chose to stand with her back against the wall, lest the director say any shocking news, it would be safer to find a support point first.

Sure enough, the very classic opening remarks came.

"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Qi Jin was already mentally prepared, so she just took a slow and deep breath, and said in resignation: "...you should say the bad first."

"Okay," the director resumed his serious tone.No matter what, bad news should not be said in a smiling tone, and he is very clear about Qi Jin's personal goals, the following words are indeed very shocking bad news, "Then I'll just say it—you The application to be the second host of the 'Social Investigation' column was not approved by the superiors. I heard that you were stopped by the personnel department, saying that you were too young, did not have enough qualifications, and lacked experience."

Qi Jin held her breath and heard this, her heart sank, and finally fell to the bottom with a dull bang, feeling very depressed.

"Heh..." He smiled self-deprecatingly, trying to be chic.

But no matter how much you smile, you can't be chic.

After all, it is my ideal in life, saying that I am not depressed, I don’t care...that is a lie.

"Is it the personnel department? I roughly know who stopped it." He tried his best to control the state of his voice so as not to sound too embarrassed.

It's not that there are no villains in the unit, but there is always only one person who opposes him everywhere - Mr. Guisun Zisun. Although every time he satirizes himself, he ends in failure and has suffered many times, but it happens to be the backbone of the personnel department.The failure of this promotion is definitely due to this person's contribution.

"It's good that you know. There's no way, if the higher authorities don't approve it, it won't approve it..." The director's words indirectly confirmed his guess.

"It doesn't matter, I will continue to hone and hone, and try to improve my qualifications." Yes, there is no shortcut except to improve one's own strength and strengthen one's network.

Unexpectedly, the director smiled slightly at this time, deliberately showing off: "Don't be too busy, don't be too busy, I still have good news to say?"

At first, Qi Yu wanted to throw out the sentence "No matter how good the news is, I'm not in the mood to listen to it" disheartened, but thinking about the director's kindness to comfort herself, she finally swallowed the words and pulled the corner of her lips reluctantly: " You say."

"Although the host has failed, the special topic you are in charge of investigating pet hospitals in the market will still do a six-10-minute special program in the 'Social Investigation' as originally planned. This is a great honor. And , they intend to ask you to be a guest commentator on the spot."

It turned out to be this...

If this is the case, in fact, I am full of confidence. I have heard rumors from my colleagues before, and I am not [-]% sure, so I am not very surprised: "This is not thanks to the director and the 'Social Investigation' column. The person in charge, thank you both."

Perhaps because he heard Qi Zhi's tendency to end the call in a hurry, the director hurriedly called out: "Wait, wait, I haven't finished yet—I'll hand over the program outline and video clips to the person in charge of 'Social Investigation' On that day, people from Beijing happened to come to visit and communicate. A leader of CCTV just happened to see this. He asked about it and said that it was you who started the draft. He also studied the reports you had planned before and said that you have potential and appreciate you .”

Qi Jin was slightly shocked.

CCTV...isn't that...National TV?

When he realized this, his heart suddenly thumped wildly, not knowing what the director was going to say next.

"Xiao Qi," the director asked a question that he hadn't thought about at all, "Let me ask you, are you interested in doing an internship at CCTV?"

"what……"

Qi Jin opened his mouth subconsciously, and the word "good" almost blurted out.Yet he stopped just in time.

The momentary surprise dissipated in a hurry, as if the fierce waves washed over and then quickly receded, leaving an empty beach, erasing all content, just as he suddenly woke up without any thoughts in his mind, only confusion, not knowing what to do Stand still in place.

"Internship," he finally asked softly, "what kind of internship?"

"Intern program editor. Combined with your experience as a reporter, you also need a certain planning ability and creativity, and you also need to communicate with the program host frequently. Moreover, the other party is a national TV station. Put this experience on your resume, no matter you When the time comes, whether to come back to develop or stay in Beijing will definitely have no harm to your application to be a host in the future!" The director talked endlessly, almost more excited than himself.

Great opportunity, great position, great unit - hardly anything to fault.

If it was my former self, I would probably agree.

but……

"How long is the internship period?" One month, three months, half a year, one year?

"I heard it's three years... Oh, it's not too long. It must take time for you to gain experience and so on! If it's too short, how about it?" the director replied naturally.

three years?

His mind was slightly dazed, and he unconsciously said two words: "No."

The director didn't expect him to have this kind of reaction at all, and he was stunned: "Xiao Qi, I thought you would jump for joy when I heard it, but you...do you know that this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is what others want? If you don’t come, you actually want to give up? I can’t help but call you stupid.”

Qi Jin's hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly, and his heart was very chaotic, extremely chaotic.

It turns out that the director's phrase "It's better not to be married" means this...

Apparently the director also knows that for those men who have already married, it will be very difficult to make a choice to take care of their wives and children.There was no objection to being single, but he wasn't any more.

"I'm sorry." Qi Yu apologized dryly.Apart from apologizing, he didn't know what else to say.

"What's the matter, why did you refuse?" The director's tone was a bit aggressive, he must have lost his temper, angry at him for not being self-motivated, "You are obviously a bachelor, and you want to go out to develop outside, and you have nothing else to do except consider finding a house to live in." Need to worry?"

Qi Jin changed her posture with difficulty, and couldn't help but look slowly at the door of the ward, and said hoarsely, "Director, I... actually have a crush."

The director was stunned for a moment, and finally softened his tone: "So you have a girlfriend? A local?"

"Um……"

"what do you do?"

"Doctor." I don't want to be too specific.

"Doctor," the director seemed to be in a dilemma. He remained silent for a while, and finally suggested with a sigh, "Why don't you discuss it with your girlfriend and see if she can be transferred with you?"

"I...don't think he's going to leave."

Qi Jin's voice became lower and lower.

This is the root of the grandfather who raised Shen Yan, which is equivalent to the root of Shen Yan.

There is the old house full of memories, the alleys that record Shen Yan's growth process, a stable job, and a group of good colleagues.Moreover, the two of them met and fell in love in this city, so naturally... they should stay together here.

Shen Yan belongs here.

And he belongs to Shen Yan.

[Please stay and accompany me to the end. 】

The words that were choked up slightly, were cut into my heart, stored in my heart, and kept in the most precious drawer of my memory, I was reluctant to take it out, let alone hurt.

Qi Yu smiled quietly.

【I love you. 】

I love you too.so……

"Sorry, I can't accept this opportunity." It doesn't matter if you make sacrifices.

The Director sighed heavily in annoyance.

The words have come to this point, but they are still nagging: "Hey, Xiao Qi, you have to think about it carefully. It's not that the director is so sophisticated, but I haven't seen all kinds of people in our line of work. I have also heard a lot of stories, love in this era is really not a meal. You can find someone else, and you will never get this kind of opportunity in the future. You will regret it."

Very positive tone.

Very masculine, very realistic way of thinking—

Qi Jin lowered his eyes, lowered his head and smiled wryly.I don't know if he will regret it after giving up his future for Shen Yan, but now if he is asked to give up Shen Yan for his future...he will definitely regret it.

"I've made up my mind," he said.

"You think about it again." The director interrupted him sternly, obviously very disappointed with his subordinate, before hanging up the phone, he said, "Three days, I will answer after three days when I understand it, and I will tell the person in charge of CCTV .”

After picking up the line, Qi Yu stood in the corridor for a while as if she had lost her soul.The square windows at the end of the corridor let in a layer of cold sunlight, which was very rigidly carved on the concrete floor, casting a long gray shadow under his feet.He looked a little bored, and took two steps away, but realized that the shadow was a shadow, even if he walked no matter how hard he couldn't get out.

Qi Jin suddenly felt that she had no strength at all, so she slowly squatted down at the foot of the wall, threw her phone on the ground, rubbed her face twice with her hands, and forced herself to cheer up.

It doesn't matter, he is not yet 30 years old, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

It's ok.

It's ok……

Just as he was reciting silently in his heart hypnotically, the mobile phone on the ground rang again, this time it was from the car dealership.

"Hello, is this Mr. Qi?"

"Yes."

"Hello, sir. This is XX car dealership. The final quotation of the model you consulted last time is out. The down payment and handling fee have been listed on the list, and a copy has been sent to your mailbox. Can you read it? How about replying to us as soon as possible in the future? Because the number of such preferential prices is limited, once it is sold out, it will be gone.” The seller spared no effort to sell to him.

"Can you briefly talk about the cost items?"

"Okay, these costs include..."

The seller begins to read out the quotations one by one.Originally, Qi Jin had been waiting for this valuation, but now that he heard it, he couldn't be happier.

With his current income as a reporter, it is really difficult for one person to maintain a slightly better economy car.

Originally, I thought that the position of moderator could be taken properly, and I just waited for my income to increase so that it would be easier to repay the loan, but now it seems that I have to grit my teeth to hold on.Shen Yan had just paid a large sum of surgery fees for his mother, and she would never ask him for any financial assistance, neither should nor would she want to.

and then?

Then after going back to work, go back to the previous business trip life of running around and only staying at home for a few days a month?According to the reporter's usual work rules, the time with Shen Yan is probably very limited, and I feel tired after thinking about it.

"hateful……"

The rare negative emotions surged up layer by layer, and I felt extremely depressed for a while, so I couldn't help but bury my head and squatted under the wall dejectedly.

"Qi Yu."

Suddenly, he heard Shen Yan's voice softly passing through the corridor, and raised his head in shock.

Just as Shen Yan walked out of the ward, she found him alone in the corner with this posture, his expression changed slightly, and he strode towards him without saying a word.

Qi Jin didn't want him to know the content of the conversation between herself and the director, let alone her current state of mind, so she stood up quickly, wanting to pat the dust and smile at him as if nothing had happened.As a result, before the smile could be formed, the knees on both sides suddenly softened, and he almost fell to the ground heavily.

"Qi Yu!" Shen Yan's voice trembled.

Qi Jin stretched out his hand reflexively. At that moment, Shen Yan grabbed his elbow tightly and pulled him upwards. He finally stood on his heels in time, but his legs were still numb and he couldn't exert his strength. Shen Shen fell on Shen Yan's chest and was almost completely embraced.

A false alarm.

Qi Jin took a few breaths hastily, and it took a long time to recover.

"I'm fine..." First of all, I assured the other party that I was not injured, and then tried my best to deal with the aftermath, "I just squatted on the ground for too long, and when I got up, I didn't notice that my feet were numb. It doesn't matter, I will be fine after a while .”

The explanation is reasonable, although there is more than one reason.

The emotional element has been hastily omitted by him.

Just as she was about to stand up straight, Shen Yan suddenly retracted her hand gently at this moment, following the movement of supporting him, she hugged him tightly.

Qi Jin was taken aback.

After a while, he blinked his eyes slowly, suppressing the feeling of grievance that he didn't know where he came from, so as not to let them fall out in another form.

In fact, Shen Yan's motive for hugging her is not the same as the source of her grievance, but who cares?

This movement itself is where the warmth lies.

Qi Min only felt a warm pain in his heart, and without thinking about it, he subconsciously reacted as he should normally, and gently went around and hugged this person's back with one hand.Just as he was about to rest his head on that shoulder for a little rest, he suddenly saw a woman standing at the door of the ward.
