so affectionate

On the first weekend after work, Jiang Nan finally saw Bai Qi.

The two made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop. Jiang Nan arrived early and sat for half an hour before seeing Bai Qi pushing the door in. He hurriedly beckoned.

Bai Qi was wearing a beige wool coat with a light-colored sweater and shirt inside. He was very personable and very eye-catching.He pulled out the chair and sat down, his movements were elegant and graceful like an English gentleman.

"Sorry, I'm late."

"No, I came early." Such a polite opening made Jiang Nan quite uncomfortable.

Bai Qi asked for a cup of coffee, then looked at Jiang Nan carefully for a while, and said, "My brother doesn't seem to have changed."

Jiang Nan was also sizing him up. He didn't see him clearly at the airport last time, but now that he got closer, he realized that although Bai Qi was tall, he was very thin and his complexion was not very good. He couldn't help worrying, "Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so ugly?"

"It's not a big problem. I just came back and I'm not used to the weather here. It will be fine after a while."

"That's good……"

Bai Qi stirred the coffee but didn't speak, Jiang Nan didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only take a sip from the cup as a cover, and silence spread between the two of them.

Jiang Nan chose a location by the window, and when he turned his head, there was a street full of cars and people. The Spring Festival had just passed, and the lingering warmth of the festival had not completely dissipated. The red down jacket stands at the door to welcome customers, and there is a lot of people in front of the window.A chubby little boy was led by his family and passed by outside the coffee shop. He looked in curiously, and his big black grape-like eyes were facing Jiang Nan's. One big and one small was so novel. They stared at each other all the way, until the boy followed his parents out of sight, Jiang Nan suddenly woke up, turned his eyes away, remained silent for a long time, and laughed out loud for no reason.

Bai Qi looked at him in surprise, Jiang Nan waved his hand, "It's nothing."

"Brother in a good mood?" Bai Qi asked him, with a slightly tentative expression on his expression.

"Why is it bad?" Jiang Nan asked him back, "It's a day to cry, and a day to smile, why don't you choose a more relaxed way to live?"

Bai Qi lowered his head and stirred the coffee, and said slowly: "It seems that my brother has been living happily these few years."

"The past few years..." Jiang Nan's smile faded, and he quickly shook his head as he thought of many things, "Why are you talking about me, shouldn't you tell me about your situation, how are you doing abroad? is it going well?"

"Not good." Bai Qi said abruptly.

"Eh?"

"I have a bad life, but you are so happy, I am even worse."

"Ah, Abai, you... what's wrong with you?" Jiang Nan panicked, looking at Bai Qi's face cautiously, a little confused.

Bai Qi stopped talking, he stirred the coffee slowly and stubbornly, until the coffee was no longer steaming, then he put down the spoon, clasped his hands on the table, looked at Jiang Nan's confused expression and undisguised He smiled slowly, "I'm lying to you, brother is so stupid."

Jiang Nanti let go of his heart in mid-air, and said with a little connivance and helplessness: "It's true that you still play this way at such an age."

Bai Qi countered: "You are always fooled at such an age, and you are really too."

The two smiled tacitly, and the previous estrangement seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

The little star recalled her name as a favorite recently, and Lin Lin was completely squeezed out. That woman was also smart, and she got the lead actress in a movie made by a famous director, so she walked very chicly, and no one was ugly.

Jiang Nan is now at the company every day, hearing all these rumors flying around, but he doesn't know where it came from.

Jiang Huajie hasn't asked him for half a month, so this frequency is considered normal. During the period of years ago, he frequently tossed people, probably because of his whim. Now that a better one came outside, his interest was naturally taken away.

Jiang Nan's life is very good these days. Every day he goes to work to make soy sauce, and when he comes home from work, someone cooks, and he gathers with friends at night, or chats with Bai Qi on the phone. Only occasionally, his elder brother Jiang Hesen sends him Shout out, nagging as usual, other than that, nothing goes wrong at all, in just ten days, he has gained several catties, and his chin is round.

But the happy days are always too short, God always can't bear to see someone living better than him, his leisure time will soon come to an end.

The commander's wife heard the news from somewhere, and Jiang Nan guessed that it was probably due to his two aunts. She learned that Jiang Huajie had recently fallen in love with a boy, a boy who was old enough to be his son. She didn't even go back home. Although her mind was considered open among her generation, she still couldn't accept such avant-garde things.The commander's wife also knew that Jiang Huajie would not listen to her, so she called Jiang Nan and asked him to speak in front of his father that everything should be done within limits, and that it would be bad for the Jiang family's reputation if it spread. After all, his two elder brothers are still in the political circles.

Ever since Jiang Nan answered the call, he was worried.He knew that Su Yuan's fear of damaging the Jiang family's reputation was purely an excuse. Over the years, Jiang Huajie had done a lot of things that went too far. What's worse, she probably knew that Jiang Qiwen was not doing well in the company. I'm here to remind Jiang Huajie, I want him to promote his own family more, and don't let the fat water flow to outsiders.If Jiang Huajie obeyed her wishes, she would turn a blind eye to these romantic affairs, otherwise she would definitely make his ears dirty.

And Jiang Nan's job is to be a mouthpiece to better convey her meaning to Jiang Huajie.Jiang Nan can choose to ignore it, but in the future he will not even think about living a peaceful life. There are many people who can trip him up in the personnel department alone, not to mention some people who are not used to him secretly. He will be able to leave the company soon, there is really no need to stumble here.

He pinched the phone and thought about it, and finally dialed the number.

The phone rang for many times before it was answered, and there was a nice voice on the other end, it was Yiming.

Jiang Nan paused for half a second before saying, "Is he not here? Please let him answer the phone."

"He's taking a shower. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. It's the same if I forward it to him."

Yiming's voice was still so nice, but Jiang Nan could hear something different.

Bloody hell, he thought.

He hung up the phone, turned off the bedside lamp, and got ready for bed.But within half a minute, his cell phone rang, and it was Jiang Huajie calling.

"Hello, Dad?"

"what are you doing?"

"At home, I'm going to bed." Jiang Nan heard the sound of sliding the door on the other end of the phone, and then the rustling of the wind. It should be that Jiang Huajie came to the balcony. He thought for a while, and then said: "Before Grandma called me."

"Ah."

"She asked me how Qiwen is doing in the company recently. I don't know much, so I just want to ask you."

"Well, what else?"

"She said...that you never go home, and it's not good to spread the word."

Jiang Huajie seemed to sneer, but Jiang Nan couldn't hear the wind.

"Anything else?"

"No—" Jiang Nan paused, remembering the face of the commander's wife, and forced himself to change his words: "Father, if you have time, come back, it's not good to be outside all the time."

Jiang Huajie was quiet for a while, the more Jiang Nan thought about it, the more impulsive he felt, and was about to repent, so he heard him say, "Okay."

Then there was a sound of footsteps coming from the phone, which seemed to be interspersed with Yiming's questioning, then the door was opened and closed, the sound of going downstairs, the car started...

Jiang Nan stared blankly at the phone, the voices were so close that they have not stopped until now.He suddenly threw the phone away, as if avoiding danger, wrapped himself in a quilt, not daring to expose even a single hair.
