Thousand Willows

Liu Minhui looked a little strange in Jiang Yizhong's clothes. Jiang Yizhong was a little shorter and thinner than him, so Liu Minhui looked a little restrained, but he himself had a happy expression on his face and said to Jiang Yizhong: "Hey, go eat, I'm hungry gone."

It wasn't until the two of them started eating that Jiang Yizhong felt as if he was being led by the nose by Liu Minhui.

But somehow, he didn't find it annoying.

Although Jiang Yizhong was very surprised by this reunion, it was more like the joy that some vague expectation finally came true.

"Is this dish so delicious?" Liu Minhui couldn't help asking, seeing the uncontrollable joy on Jiang Yizhong's face.

"Not bad." Jiang Yizhong lowered his head, trying to hide his uncontrollable expression.

"The location of your apartment is good." Liu Minhui said.

"Thank you." Jiang Yizhong wanted to increase the distance between the two.

"My company is in the office building in front. It will be convenient for you to find me in the future." After Liu Minhui finished speaking, he handed Jiang Yizhong a business card, "There is an address on it."

Jiang Yi looked again, and the name on the business card was "Zhao Lei".His heart skipped a beat, the name looked familiar.I don't know if it's the same name. A shareholder of their company seems to be called "Zhao Lei", but that shareholder only pays money and has never met him in person.

Seeing Jiang Yizhong staring at the business card in a daze, Liu Minhui asked, "What's wrong?"

"This Zhao Lei is..." Jiang Yizhong decided not to beat around the bush and asked directly.

"I'm an acquaintance who has some shares in our company. I think his name is popular and easy to remember, so I use it as my 'stage name' in this company."

"Stage name?" Jiang Yi asked again.

"That's right. Anyway, the company is small now, and I have to go to the market. I'm a little embarrassed to bear my own name." Liu Minhui said naturally.

Jiang Yizhong sniffed out some problems, he put down his chopsticks: "I have a question to ask, I wonder if you will tell the truth."

Liu Minhui met Jiang Yizhong's gaze with a smile, and said, "Actually, you don't have to ask, and I might not tell the truth if you ask."

Jiang Yi sighed heavily.

Liu Minhui just said: "Hurry up and eat the food, this dish tastes good."

Jiang Yizhong was able to spell out a picture vaguely in his mind. It was a picture of the relationship between the characters: Mr. Fang and Zhao Lei are partners of the company, and Zhao Lei is also a shareholder of Liu Minhui's company. That is to say, Liu Minhui and Mr. Fang have a great possibility will know.

Jiang Yizhong was suddenly shocked, remembering what Mr. Fang said to him last year, "I also have this watch of yours. It's a limited edition. You're quite discerning"——Mr. Fang and Liu Minhui really knew each other?

"Okay, don't think about it, let's eat. I'll do it later, I'll do it all." Liu Minhui said helplessly.

A meal was eaten very quickly, and it was only after seven o'clock after the meal.

"Do you want to sit with me?" Liu Minhui asked.

"What is there to sit in the office?" Jiang Yizhong sniffed.

"What office? I'm talking about my home, my house." Liu Minhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that Jiang Yizhong had changed a lot this year, and he seemed more confident than before.

Liu Minhui's house was in another community, a little way away from their place.

Jiang Yizhong sat in the co-pilot, and Liu Minhui drove the car.

Along the way, both of them listened to the music on the stereo quietly.

Jiang Yizhong discovered that Liu Minhui still listened to those old songs.

In fact, it was only a few years after graduation, but there was a sense of vicissitudes of life and death, which lingered on and around the two of them.

The community where Liu Minhui lives is a high-end community, and the security guards at the gate are more energetic than other communities.

Entering the room, Jiang Yizhong saw a small bookcase next to the living room, which contained the familiar "Red Book" for the postgraduate entrance examination.So he asked casually, "Are you still planning to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"No exam." Liu Minhui said, making a cup of tea for Jiang Yizhong.

"Your book..."

"I take these books with me wherever I go. Be careful of the hot tea." Liu Minhui sat on the sofa on the other side, keeping a distance from Jiang Yizhong.

"Thank you." Jiang Yizhong took the tea and put it on the coffee table in front of him.

"You are waiting for me to confess, right?" Liu Minhui looked into Jiang Yizhong's eyes and said with a smile.

"Correct."

"Where do you want to start?" Liu Minhui asked.

"You can start wherever you want." Jiang Yizhong was not to be outdone.

"Then let's start from the last time we met." Liu Minhui said with a smile.

Liu Minhui briefly talked about his meeting with Ge Xiaofei.After that, he found a link through Liu Minhui's few circles of friends, which was the circle of friends advertisement that Liu Minhui's leader asked to post in groups shortly after joining the company.Then Liu Minhui found the company address through the company name... and then "waited" at the gate of Liu Minhui's company.However, when Liu Minhui saw Jiang Yizhong again, he was a little nervous. Yes, he was the one who smoked in front of Jiang Yizhong's company.Finally, in order to relieve the tension, Liu Minhui decided to wait in the lobby.

"You know the rest." Liu Minhui said.

"I don't know everything." Jiang Yizhong listened, took a sip of tea, thoughtful.

"Later, I found out that the boss of your company is another partner of my friend..." Liu Minhui took a look at Jiang Yizhong's expression and found nothing unusual before continuing.

Liu Minhui found Zhao Lei and said that he wanted to ask him for a favor.In addition to being his partner, Zhao Lei is also a distant relative of Liu Minhui's mother.With the relationship of relatives, it is easy to talk, not to mention, Liu Minhui's suggestion is also a suggestion to make money - to suggest that Zhao Lei persuade Jiang Yizhong's company boss Mr. Fang to open a branch in a neighboring city, and propose to send Jiang Yizhong to be the person in charge.

"So, are you secretly helping me?" Jiang Yizhong raised his eyelids and looked at Liu Minhui.

Liu Minhui looked at Jiang Yizhong and smiled, and said, "This is a win-win situation. You can flex your muscles, and they can also expand their business, making more money. It's the best of both worlds."

"You were the one who tried to get me to transfer back?" Jiang Yizhong asked, with no emotional fluctuations in his tone.

"Well, you're in a neighboring city, I'm too busy, it's inconvenient to go and see you." Liu Minhui replied honestly.

Jiang Yizhong didn't speak, he stroked the transparent glass in a daze.He didn't want to think at this time, didn't want to think about how many layers of meaning Liu Minhui said, how many hidden meanings, he felt that it was good to feel empty-headed now.

"I like you, shall we be together?" Liu Minhui said suddenly, putting his hand on Jiang Yizhong's arm.

Jiang Yizhong could feel Liu Minhui's voice and hands trembling slightly. He looked into Liu Minhui's eyes, and through the lens on the bridge of his nose, he saw that there seemed to be light in Liu Minhui's eyes.

"I'm sorry." Jiang Yizhong didn't move, nor did he pull Liu Minhui's hand away, but just said these three words.

Liu Minhui's body froze, and he didn't know what to do with the hand on Jiang Yizhong's arm.

"I am sorry for you." Jiang Yizhong said, "You have done enough for me, I can't bear it."

Liu Minhui took his hand away, Jiang Yizhong felt a chill on his arm, and an inexplicable emptiness.

"Do you know why I always carry these books?" Liu Minhui took out a book for the postgraduate entrance examination and flipped through it casually.

Jiang Yizhong didn't speak.

Liu Minhui lowered his eyes to read the book and said in a low voice: "When I miss you, I read the book. Seeing this reminds me of the time when we prepared for the exam together..."

"I'm sorry for you." Jiang Yi reconsidered Liu Minhui's words.

"I don't know why you are so close to me, but you want to push me away? It seems that you have drawn a circle around you. You don't want to come out, and you don't want me to go in." Liu Minhui was a little excited, and his voice gradually raised, "You know I like you, and you obviously like me too, why do you have to avoid me?"

Jiang Yizhong had an unpredictable look on his face, he bit his lip, there were some things he didn't want to say.

Seeing Jiang Yizhong like this, Liu Minhui sighed suddenly.

There was a silence between the two.

"You never smoked before." Jiang Yizhong said suddenly.

Liu Minhui smiled bitterly, and said, "It was because I waited too long at the gate of your company that day that I went to buy a pack of cigarettes to relieve my boredom."

After finishing speaking, the two of them did not speak again.

"What are you worried about?" Finally, Liu Minhui asked.

But Jiang Yizhong remained silent.

Liu Minhui stood up, walked to the balcony, overlooking the lights of Wanjia, his hair twitched slightly when the wind picked up.

After a while, Liu Minhui turned around and said to Jiang Yizhong who was sitting in the living room: "Are you afraid of the word 'homosexual'?"

Jiang Yizhong's eyes changed, and Liu Minhui saw it. He turned around again, took out a cigarette, and lit it.

Liu Minhui did hit a part of Jiang Yizhong's thoughts.

Jiang Yizhong is different from Liu Minhui, he has been a well-behaved child since he was a child.Although he is the eldest son in the family, his younger brother Jiang Yiming was born only one year later than himself, and he was born prematurely, so his parents have a special preference for his younger brother.Other elders in the family also feel that they are too dull, and they prefer the lively and lovely younger brother.The more he is not valued by his family, the more silent Jiang Yizhong is. He only walks slowly along a visible road where he can see with his own eyes, and never considers taking other roads.

As the two brothers grew up, Jiang Yizhong's sense of presence at home became weaker and weaker.Later, Jiang Yizhong failed the college entrance examination and went to a third-rate university. Although his family paid for him to study, there was a lot of gossip behind his back.

In the second year, Jiang Yiming's younger brother Jiang Yiming failed to enter the university, but his family rejoiced and asked his younger brother Jiang Yiming to stay at home and learn business with his father.Until his father's death, Jiang Yizhong's presence at home was extremely weak.And after his father passed away, Jiang Yizhong basically had no meaning of existence at home - the family has been passed on to Jiang Yiming, the child who was loved by thousands of people.

What Jiang Yizhong did to Liu Minhui that night was the most deviant thing he had ever done in his life.He regretted it very much. On the one hand, he felt that he influenced Liu Minhui's sexual orientation. On the other hand, he was unwilling to bear the label of "gay", and he couldn't bear other people's strange eyes.

In the evening, Liu Minhui sent Jiang Yizhong back. The atmosphere between the two of them seemed to be sticking together, a bit ambiguous, a bit helpless, and a bit ruthless.

"I hope we can still be friends." Before leaving, Liu Minhui said to Jiang Yizhong.

"Okay." Jiang Yi nodded emphatically, but shook his head in his heart.He didn't want to be friends with Liu Minhui, or rather, he didn't dare to be friends with Liu Minhui.He was afraid that one day he might "go crazy" again like that night.

Almost two months have passed, and it is already early winter.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Yizhong was preparing documents in the office when his cell phone rang suddenly, and it was Liu Minhui who called.

Since Liu Minhui's confession failed last time, Jiang Yizhong thought that according to this young master's strong self-esteem, he should retreat in spite of the difficulties, but who knew that when Liu Minhui said "be friends", he really took a step back and "be friends"—it's okay It will be disturbed in the name of "friend".

"Could you please do me a favor?" Liu Minhui said on the other end.

"What are you talking about first?" Jiang Yizhong dealt with Liu Minhui with the idea of ​​fighting with soldiers to block him.

"A friend came over and wanted me to welcome him. However, my assistant recently went home on leave, so I would like to trouble you to accompany me." Liu Minhui said in a very serious tone.

"Mr. Liu, you have such a wide network, it shouldn't be difficult to find someone to accompany you. A small person like me is not suitable." Jiang Yizhong said indifferently, intending to refuse.

"You clearly know that I don't have many friends, so why are you still mocking me like this? You just don't want to help and just say it." Liu Minhui's tone became more serious.

Jiang Yi sighed heavily and said, "All right, when and where?"

As a result, when Jiang Yizhong arrived at the agreed daily grocery store, Liu Minhui was the only one in the box.

"Where are people?" Jiang Yi asked again.

"They're stuck on the road, I guess they will arrive later." Liu Minhui couldn't help smiling when he saw Jiang Yizhong.

Jiang Yizhong asked while taking off his thick woolen coat: "How many people? Who are they?"

"Two people, I'll introduce you when the meeting is over." Liu Minhui said with a smile, with a hint of cunning hidden in his eyes.
