Yun Yun 2

The shopping cart in the supermarket was full, filled with all kinds of snacks, instant snacks, and sauces. Qiao also stuffed the last can of pickles into the cart, which perfectly filled the only gap left in the corner of the shopping cart. He took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the shopping cart. took a photo.

"I'm in the supermarket, do you have anything to bring to Fanfan?"

"I don't have anything else. Don't bring her so much. Long-distance troubles. You can buy them over there."

It was an unsurprising reply, Qiao Yi pouted at the phone screen, "Do you have anything to bring at home? I'll drive there to get it."

"She has moved away all the things she wanted at home, and there is nothing for now. I can send her a courier whenever she needs it."

"I replied very quickly today, didn't you work overtime? Did you go home?"

"Yes."

Qiao also put his mobile phone in his pocket, pushed the shopping cart and turned around to the drinks and beverages area behind him.

The doorbell rang a bit abruptly at this time in the evening. Just as Ji Yibei pressed the call button of the access control system, he saw in the video that Qiao also raised the red wine in his hand to the camera. Before Ji Yibei could speak, he preemptively Asked, "I thought, you can't see me all the time, can you?"

"How can I say I didn't see you?" Ji Yibei answered the door, found a pair of cotton slippers and handed them to Qiao Yi, "It's mainly me..."

"Too busy!" Qiao Yi said in unison with Ji Yibei, taking off his windbreaker and hanging it on the hook by the door, pointing to the red wine in his hand, "So I sent someone to the door and came to find you."

"I said that there is no shortage of wine, why did I take a new one." Ji Yibei opened the refrigerator door, took a can of sparkling water and a can of juice and shook it lightly, "Which one do you want?"

"I don't want any of them, just drink mine." Qiao Yi rummaged in the bag for a while, and actually took out an unopened wine opener, "I brought everything with me, I'm going to drink today."

Ji Yibei leaned on the refrigerator door and pondered for a moment, pursed his lips and smiled helplessly, turned around and opened the door of the wine cabinet, "How about a bottle of white grape?"

"I just think my wine doesn't taste good!" Qiao Yi laughed out loud.

"It's this bottle of white grape that is really good. It's been in my collection for a long time. It's just right to entertain you."

"I want the bottle behind the white grape, and the blue bottle."

"That bottle has a high alcohol content."

"Just that bottle. Are you still afraid of being drunk by me?" Qiao Yi leaned on the sofa, looking determined not to get drunk. "

"It's really possible. Except for business banquets, I don't drink much now, so you said to give me red wine before, so I didn't ask for it."

"Why did you explain it again? I don't blame you." Qiao Yi shrugged, uncorked the wine and put it aside, and opened the bottle to sober up. , I don’t have many chances to drink. I… don’t drink it myself, it’s boring to drink alone.”

"That bar has been demolished." Ji Yibei smiled lightly, and put the washed wine glasses on the coffee table.

"Yes, it was demolished a long time ago and changed to a hot pot restaurant. After so many years, it's normal. It seems that there are not many time-honored brands in the bar." Qiao Yi responded half-jokingly, lowering his eyes and staring blankly at Lan The wine in the colored wine bottle was still shaking slightly, the aroma of the wine drifted out along the mouth of the bottle, and diffused in the air, as if already drunk, he murmured in praise, "It really is a good wine from the collection."

"It's been a few years." Ji Yibei replied smoothly, and brought another plate of washed fruits.

For a moment, both of them were speechless, and the room became quiet except for the slight hum of the air conditioner.The children who were playing around outside the courtyard wall were called home by their parents. Occasionally, some of them passed by the door, and their colorful clothes flashed past through the fence of the outer wall.

"I thought... Aunt Bao is back." Qiao Yi raised her head and looked around, seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar environment, many years had passed, and she had never been here again.A villa where only one person lives is unavoidably deserted, and the furniture is neat and orderly, as if it is not used very frequently.On the handrail of the stairs leading to the second floor, there are still handicrafts made by Fanfan when he was a child.The plush toys that Fanfan didn’t take abroad together packed their bags in their own bags, their vision was blocked, but they happened to pass through the stairs and saw a plush bear playfully protruding in Ji Yibei’s bedroom.

"No. She's going back to help my daughter take care of the children, so she can't come back until her granddaughter is in elementary school." Ji Yibei got up and closed the curtains of the French windows in the living room.

"Aunt Bao has been here for a long time." Qiao Yi's voice came from behind, and Ji Yibei paused slightly, as if recalling.

"Yeah, it's been almost 20 years. At that time, Fanfan went abroad, and before he left, he told her life and death not to let her go back."

"She was worried about you, and she was afraid that you would be left alone, so she called me several times." Qiao Yi said while filling the empty glasses of the two of them, "We Fan, look at it or not. A child is actually sensible."

Ji Yibei smiled gratifiedly, and turned on the phone screen according to Qiao Yi's words. The girl on the lock screen wallpaper was carrying a ski, looking back at the camera with a big smile, her eyes narrowed into a slit, "Yes Ah, Aunt Bao is very good here, and later she saw that her family was doing well and she planned to change to another family, so I said why not just stay here, and she should take it easy, lest finding a new family may not treat her well."

"Yeah. But it's been a long time since I went back. It's been three or four years, right?"

"Taking care of the children, my own granddaughter, makes outsiders feel uneasy. Young people are busy with work in big cities and have no time, so there is nothing they can do."

"Then you weren't alone with Fanfan back then." Although Qiao Yi was discussing the matter, he looked at the person opposite when he finished speaking, and buried the sadness of the past in a teasing tone.

Ji Yibei picked up his wine glass, looked up at Qiao Yi, his eyes were watery with a smile: "Isn't there still you?"

Qiao also was in a trance for a moment, panickedly avoiding Ji Yibei's gaze, and subconsciously looked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.There was an old scene in her eyes. The little girl in cotton slippers shouted excitedly "Sister Qiao Yi" while running down the stairs cautiously and eagerly holding on to the railing that was taller than herself, and finally ran When he reached the last step, he hurriedly stood on tiptoe and stretched out his arms, waiting for him to hold her in his arms.

Qiao Yi's eyes flickered, until Ji Yibei's movement of pouring wine woke him up, and then he came back to his senses, and said jokingly, "Looking at it this way, it's okay to eat at a roadside stall."

"Haha, it's nothing."

"Hey, you said that now, but I was criticized a lot back then." Qiao Yi curled his lips and raised his glass to Ji Yibei.

"Priority, I can't control you." Ji Yibei raised his eyebrows, and the two wine glasses clinked in the air.

With half a sip of wine between Qiao Yi's lips, she suppressed her smile, "I heard Fanfan say, you are still very busy recently?"

"We have expanded a lot of overseas business this year, and we are a bit busy recently."

"I said that you are the president, why are you still doing it yourself? Why is this completely different from the plot of the boss I watched."

"The main reason is that there are more meetings and business negotiations, and there are far fewer things at the executive level."

"But Mr. Ji, he just can't afford to be idle. It's very different from jobless people like us."

"It's coming again." Ji Yibei feigned anger, and stopped Qiao Yi's teasing with his eyes, "How are you?"

Qiao Yi was stunned for a while, lowered his head to refill his and Ji Yibei's glasses, then raised his head, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked jokingly, "When did you say? Now?"

"these years."

"not good."

Qiao Yi narrowed his eyes, raised the wine glass to his lips, smiled at Ji Yibei, and drank the wine in the glass.

Ji Yibei was a little hesitant, as if he hadn't encountered such a "Qiao Yi" conversation style for a long time, he didn't know how to respond for a while, he pursed his lips, and drank a glass of wine.

"It's fine now, do whatever you want." Qiao Yi added with a sense of relief, "It's not like you can just go abroad if you can say it, freedom."

"Ah."

"You really don't want to go with me?"

"You go first, I'm really busy at the end of the year, and I can't get away."

"All right." Qiao Yi nodded, without further questioning.

The alcohol is warming up, but the drinker is waiting soberly, remembering and chewing the name of the old man, but it has not been mentioned for a long time.

"Will you meet Teacher Yuan?" Ji Yibei lowered his eyes, did not look directly at Qiao Yi, and took a sip from his wine glass.

"I..." Although Qiao Yi already had the answer in her heart, she suddenly became nervous when faced with Ji Yibei's straightforward question, her tone was full of hesitation, "I too... I'm not sure either, just look at her."

"Yeah." Ji Yibei nodded, "Fanfan went to her house that day and suddenly dragged me to video, but I met Teacher Yuan before you."

"Well, I heard what Fanfan said."

"Looking at the condition, they should be pretty good." Ji Yibei looked at Qiao Yi again, his eyes were calm and relieved.

"That's good." Fingers tapped on the edge of the sofa, and then unconsciously clenched into fists, Qiao Yi half lowered his head, staring at the table in a daze.After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he nodded his head heavily and looked up into Ji Yibei's eyes again, "I've been sorry to you all these years."

"What are you talking about?" Ji Yibei frowned.

"honestly."

"I mean, you shouldn't have said that."

"Why not, I made a very wrong decision." Qiao Yi added in a low voice, "I should apologize, but even an apology won't help."

"You helped me take care of Fanfan, and you helped me solve my urgent financial needs, so why would you need to apologize to me?" Ji Yibei paused, "If so, wouldn't it be me..."

"It has nothing to do with you." Qiao Yi interrupted Ji Yibei's words, "It's because I didn't persevere to the end."

"Then you can go and talk to Teacher Yuan. For me, I actually owe you a lot of thanks." Ji Yibei stuffed the full glass of wine into Qiao Yi's hand, raised the glass and clinked with her, "In the past The past is the past, grasp the present and the future.”

"Ah."

I don't know if it's because I haven't had a good drink for too long, Ji Yibei woke up very early, wanted to pick up the phone to check the time, and found that his daughter sent a message in the early morning.Then I remembered that I forgot to make a video call last night, Qiao Yi came suddenly, and forgot to change the time with my daughter in advance.

"Mom, let me ask you a question."

"After all these years, have you ever thought about being with someone again?"

"I don't seem to have thought about it."

The phone vibrated, interrupting Sheng Fan's reverie. It was rare for him to have no class, and no afternoon to go to the library.Sheng Fan sat at the desk for almost a day, but there was not much progress in the response to the case assigned by the teacher.

Sheng Fan picked up his phone. This was the first message he received today besides the group chat. It came from a question he asked his mother when he was at a loss.

"But you can try."

Sheng Fan looked at the second message that appeared on the screen again, and subconsciously clenched his phone tightly.

The afternoon sun shone through the window and sprinkled on the coated paper of the textbook. Sheng Fan leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes tiredly.Even though the sunlight was too dazzling, there were more light and shadow changes in front of my eyes when I closed my eyes, and I went back to that night in a daze.

For the first time, I completely opened my heart to people, and told about those old things that I couldn't even tell whether they were real or imaginary.

The winter night wind was not gentle, but the surroundings were extremely quiet. The girl sitting in the co-pilot listened quietly with her eyes downcast, and was silent for a long time at the end of the narration.When the two looked at each other, he leaned over and gave himself a sincere hug.

The fragrance brought by the flick of the hair seems to be still lingering.

Sheng Fan got up and closed the shutters, but he didn't understand why he subconsciously chose to avoid it.

"Why did mom wake up so early today?"

"Joe Yi came last night and took me for a drink." Ji Yibei's news came back very quickly.

"Hangover? Is mom sick?"

"I'm fine. Why are you asking me that question all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly."

"That's good, tell me if you have anything." The daughter didn't answer, and Ji Yibei didn't ask anymore.During the years of Fanfan's growth, the communication between the mother and daughter has always maintained such a tacit understanding. Some things need to be understood and resolved by the parties themselves, but they will always be there when needed.

"Yeah." Sheng Fan just put down his phone, thought for a while and added, "I just don't want to do my homework anymore."

"Well. Let's take a break then."

I just... don't understand my own mind.

It's just not sure, will the person who walks into the heart leave?

I just don't know, can I have these warmth and beauty?

The chat history on the mobile phone is still at the time when the two met to eat at the roadside stall.

Another day is coming.

The knock on the door stopped after hearing the vague promise from the people in the room, the bedroom door was pushed open a crack, and Ji Yibei was already in a business suit ready to go to work outside the corridor.

"Are you awake?" I don't know if it's because Qiao Yi hasn't woken up yet, but I can hear some teasing in his words, "I have to go to the company. There is breakfast in the microwave for you, and there is no material to make ginger soup. If you have liver protection medicine, would you like two tablets?"

"Why is it like this again!" Qiao Yi hugged the quilt and sat up, a little annoyed and said indignantly, "Is it too late to drink as agreed?"

"I can't do it." Ji Yibei smiled, "The main reason is that you can't do it even worse."

"Hey……"

"Qiao Yi." The sudden call of his name interrupted Qiao Yi's complaints, making him nervous, and he sat up straight unconsciously, "I haven't thanked you properly for so many years. Thank you so much for being here.”

Qiao Yi remained silent, and looked up at the ceiling, "Auntie, you are so hypocritical!"

Ji Yibei was stunned, and looked at Qiao Yi with a smile, "There are also many people who call me auntie, but there are no such old people like you these years."
