As soon as it was daylight, Uncle Zhu came out of the house in his sportswear and started his morning run day after day.When people get old, there seem to be only a few things to do, and life is calm, but very peaceful.Uncle Zhu is very satisfied with such a life.But today, it seems a little different.

When he walked to the ground floor, he heard some movement in the corridor.It wasn't the usual noise from the cleaners, it seemed like some animal was shaking inside.

He stood in the corridor suspiciously for a while and saw a person walking out of it.is a teenager.

It was still dark, and it was dark all around.Uncle Zhu couldn't see it very clearly, and he always felt that the boy was as thin as a touch of light color left in the thick ink, which was about to melt into the black.

After waiting for a while, the boy walked a few steps away from him and stopped.

With the help of the dim light of the morning sun, Uncle Zhu had a clear look at the young man's appearance.He is not tall, looks very handsome, and has a very thin body, as if he would be blown away by the wind.Underneath the black and smooth hair is a pair of big eyes... Maybe they are not very big, but because they are too thin and their face is pointed, they set off the big eyes.

Uncle Zhu was instantly captured by those eyes.

In the gloomy morning, those eyes shone like morning stars, and that kind of light suddenly lit up his face, making him look less vulnerable than before.

The young man stood quietly in front of him, when Uncle Zhu came back to his senses, he realized that he was blocking his way, and hurriedly backed away a few steps.The boy came out step by step with his travel bag.His steps are very steady, as if stepping on his heart step by step, he is not in a hurry.

Uncle Zhu watched him disappear into the hazy morning light.The surrounding light was dim, but Uncle Zhu inexplicably felt that the back was bright.Shaking his head, he quickly threw away the thoughts in his mind and started his morning run day after day.

Zhao Chengyan finally finished dealing with the accumulated matters, and went back to his hometown when he had time.

Master Zhao is old and likes to be quiet.In order to please him, the whole family followed him and moved their home to the suburbs, and the courtyard was also built in an ancient style, with small bridges and flowing water inside, flowers and trees, and it really feels so far away from the hustle and bustle when walking in.

Zhao Chengyan walked along the corridor all the way, and saw the second aunt feeding a yellow-skinned black-striped native dog on the lawn.Before Zhao Chengyan got closer, the earth dog barked happily twice, spread its four claws and galloped over, circling around Zhao Chengyan.

"Ah Hua." Zhao Chengyan patted her head, and the earth dog wagged its tail desperately.

"Ah Yan is back?" The second aunt's hair was loosely tied in a bun behind her head, she was wearing a floral skirt and a beige windbreaker, she looked very gentle and noble.

Although she is an aunt, she is younger than Zhao Chengyan.

"Auntie." Zhao Chengyan smiled at her as a greeting.

The second aunt also smiled back.

"Where's grandpa?"

"In the house, Ah Zhi played chess with him."

The Ah Zhi that the second aunt said was Zhao Chengyan's biggest competitor, Zhao Chengzhi, the son of the dead former second aunt.This person is very courageous and dares to take risks. The money comes quickly but goes quickly.Recently, I heard that I am setting up an investment company, spending money to speculate in stocks, and recruiting people everywhere. It is estimated that the funds cannot keep up.This time I came to my house, I guess I wanted to get some benefits from the old man.

Zhao Chengyan smiled slightly at the second aunt, lowered his head and patted A'hua on the head, "Go to the second aunt."

A'hua walked around him a few times reluctantly, until Zhao Chengyan walked towards a three-story building at the end of the lawn, and then she ran to the second aunt with her tail wagging.This dog is also spiritual. At the beginning, Zhao Chengyan picked her up to replace the dead puppy, but he didn't care much about her afterwards.After Zhao Chengyan grew up, he rarely came back after going out all year round.But Ah Hua just remembered him, and every time he came back, she was so happy that she followed Zhao Chengyan and wagged her tail desperately.

But Zhao Chengyan is already 25, and Ah Hua has lived for more than ten years, so he is almost old.As soon as Zhao Chengyan entered the room, she went back to the second aunt and lay down, her tail didn't wag, she didn't want to move, she looked old-fashioned.

The second aunt squatted beside her, stroking her back and stroking the hair of her hands.

Zhao Chengyan went in for a long time, about an hour or so, when he came out of the house, his face was still calm, and when he saw the second aunt, he still greeted her with a smile.

Ah Hua suddenly regained her spirits, ran over with her tail flicking, and then circled around Zhao Chengyan's legs desperately.This time Zhao Chengyan didn't touch her head, just said a few words to the second aunt and left.

After Zhao Chengyan left, she sprawled on the lawn again, looking old again.

Zhao Chengyan didn't think about Ah Hua, he was thinking about another thing.

The purpose of his visit to the family today is the same as that of Zhao Chengzhi, to ask for money and support.Zhao Chengzhi is an ambitious person, and he will make a big deal as soon as he does it. This time, the speculation is too big, and the funds can't keep up, so he has to go home and ask the old man for support.He has stayed here for a few days, and the old man gradually showed signs of loosening up.At this time, Zhao Chengyan came to visit suddenly, and the purpose was still to ask for money.The old man suddenly readily agreed to lend money to the two of them, which made Zhao Chengzhi feel a little unhappy.

Zhao Chengyan knew that Zhao Chengzhi had ideas, but he didn't feel anything.He just thought of the old man's intention of doing this, and it seemed that he wanted to fight Zhao Chengzhi himself.

Zhao Chengyan raised his head and saw streaks of sunlight falling from the sky, and the last trace of uncertainty in his heart was thrown out of the sky by him.

Since the old man supports it, let's do it freely.

This time, he was also speculating on a big market, which was to build a large commercial building on the piece of land that he had photographed in the western suburbs.But later he found out that the surrounding land was also quite good, so he wanted to simply take pictures of this piece of land and concentrate on building a commercial center.The construction of the commercial building has started, and the main body has been half completed, and the money is like water.If all this land is sold, the funds will definitely not be enough.

Before coming, he had told the old man what he thought, but the old man didn't express his opinion at that time.After such a long time, the investigation is over, and the prospects are indeed very good. After this project is completed, at least a few hundred million will be earned.But the money invested is definitely one of the largest ever.Therefore, Zhao Chengyan directly came to discuss with the old man, hoping to get his support.After so long, the old man must have heard some rumors, so he readily agreed to him when he came this time.

Zhao Chengyan originally thought that it would take a while to grind his mouth, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and he felt a little happy.However, this person's expression is not revealing at all, and outsiders can't tell what kind of emotion he is in.

The biggest matter was resolved, and Zhao Chengyan felt a lot more relaxed. He walked all the way back in the car, and his mind no longer always revolved around the company. He began to think about other people.

The first person he thought of was Zhao Min'er.For a while, I don't know where this girl has gone crazy again. I seldom ask her because I am busy. I just let people watch her and don't make any troubles.

Thinking of this, I called her and asked where she was now.Zhao Min'er said that she had already gone home.

Zhao Chengyan hung up the phone, thought about it, roughly estimated where she was going, and drove to the avenue.As soon as the car started, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

Wei Shanshan.

Both hands were full of bags and bags, and it was very difficult for her to walk.

He thought for a while, rolled down the window, and called her name.

Wei Shanshan heard someone call her name, turned her head and found him, hesitated for a second, then walked over with big bags.She is still dressed beautifully, and her smile is still generous.

"Aren't you busy?" Wei Shanshan got into the car.

"I've just finished my work. Wherever I want to go, I'll give you a ride." Zhao Chengyan said.

"Go home." When she said this, her expression was a little sweet.

Zhao Chengyan saw her expression through the mirror, and said "OK" in a low voice.Wei Shanshan quickly reported a place name, and then said, "I'm married."

Zhao Chengyan didn't speak, just drove the car quietly.Wei Shanshan sat behind him and couldn't see his expression.The man didn't seem to respond at all. She didn't know whether it was disappointment or relief in her heart. She smiled and said, "Isn't it strange?"

Zhao Chengyan still didn't speak.

Wei Shanshan said: "I'm married, and the other party is neither the son of a high-ranking official, nor a handsome and rich boss. He is a university professor, he can be considered middle class, but he treats me very well."

Zhao Chengyan said, "Congratulations."

Wei Shanshan smiled, "Don't you think it's strange? A snobby woman like me would choose to marry such a person."

Zhao Chengyan said lightly: "It's not surprising, the object of marriage is someone who will be with you for a lifetime, and it must be suitable."

"I really didn't expect you to say such a thing." Wei Shanshan was a little surprised, and then smiled, "You are right. I used to pursue rich people, want to be a rich wife, and a bunch of idiots to make money , I felt sick when I got home. Fortunately, I didn’t choose them in the end, otherwise I would definitely die of nausea.”

Zhao Chengyan showed a half-smile expression.Wei Shanshan's haughty personality probably won't change for the rest of her life.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Wei Shanshan asked.

"I've been too busy recently, so I don't have time to talk about my girlfriend." As soon as Zhao Chengyan finished speaking, Wei Shanshan sneered, "You just keep making excuses."

"It's not an excuse, it's really busy." Zhao Chengyan still said lightly.

"It seems that you haven't found someone you really love." Wei Shanshan sighed, "If you really love someone, you will never stop answering her phone, calling her or rejecting her because you are busy. Accept her request, even if you are really busy and tired, you will definitely take care of her feelings, and you will not lose your temper. You will become very patient, and you will think of doing silly things for her, such as buying cakes Buy flowers and cook in the kitchen, etc. When she asks you to accompany her to watch the phone and go shopping, you must be very willing and very happy. Even, you will take the initiative to ask where to go shopping..."

Zhao Chengyan remembered silently.

Wei Shanshan said a lot in one breath, and poured out all the unwillingness at the beginning, and was very dissatisfied with Zhao Chengyan's attitude towards her at the beginning.

"The one you really love?" Zhao Chengyan smiled, "I don't know if I've met him or not."

"When one day you become very patient and caring towards an unimportant person, then you are in love with her. Unfortunately, I am not that person." Wei Shanshan said.

"You met better ones." Zhao Chengyan said.

Wei Shanshan laughed again, "Yes. I don't regret kicking you back then!"

Zhao Chengyan smiled, compared to the awkward time with Wei Shanshan at the beginning, it is easier for him to talk like a friend now.

"I'm getting off here."

The car stopped, Wei Shanshan got out of the car, closed the door, and left without looking back.From then on, she completely walked out of Zhao Chengyan's world.

Zhao Chengyan sat here silently thinking for a while, thinking about Wei Shanshan's words, suddenly smiled and shook his head, "I can't do it..."

While thinking about it, he started driving to his bachelor apartment again.
