"Have you had dinner yet? What are you doing?"

Yang Chen's voice was a little tired, and I could even imagine him leaning on the chair and rubbing between his brows.

"Not yet, it's pretty late there." I looked at the scenery outside the window of the high-speed rail and quickly skipped, and calculated in my mind, "One o'clock in the morning?"

"It's more than 40:[-], it's okay, it's not too late. I just finished the meeting, so it's early to come back and rest at this time."

I said dryly, "Pay attention to your body."

After thinking about it, he added a sentence: "Remember to take the stomach medicine too. Didn't Yang Ke go with you? Let him supervise you."

"Hmm. Are you busy recently?"

"It's not as busy as you are. I went to see a seasonal-themed temporary exhibition two days ago, and I thought it was very good. I asked Xiao Tang to find someone to plan it. The auction house said they needed to apply for a certificate, but they didn't." Come down, these days are breaking up with the top."

"If there is a problem that you can't solve, just say it, and I will find someone for you."

"It's all small things."

After talking about this topic, I didn't know what to say, but I heard Yang Chen sigh softly: "...I'm so tired these days."

"Is things going well?" I pursed my lips, "Actually, you just have to get over any hardships, and you should learn more from your father."

"I disagree with him, and we quarreled in private. He used his experience to pressure me, and he almost did it yesterday."

I can almost imagine the tense situation at that time, and couldn't help but persuade: "Communicate everything. Your father handles more things than you. He must have different ideas from you. Don't be so angry, at least don't hang on to outsiders." Face. What is the difference?"

He paused for a moment: "I don't think... this project can be accepted."

"how come?"

Even I know that this project is a bright piece of fat, but the threshold for participation is really too high, but anyone who has the ability to get a piece of the pie can make a lot of money.

He didn't answer my question directly, and said to himself: "I'm not someone who dares not take risks."

"I know." I slowed down my tone, "Yang Chen, I believe in your ability. You must have your reasons for not being able to do it. In this way, don't rush to stop your dad, first explain the reasons that make you feel inappropriate. Get it sorted out and have a good talk with him."

He laughed lowly: "I can't think of the method you want?"

The words sounded sarcasm, but the tone was rare and gentle.

I don't care about these things with him: "Go to bed early, lack of sleep time will make people feel bad."

"How long have you been talking?" He complained, "Xu Junyan, what's the matter with you? Every time I find various reasons to hang up. Do you want to talk?"

I was puzzled, I was obviously concerned about the time difference between him and me, so why did I not want to chat with him?

——But there is indeed a bit of reluctance.

"I'm afraid you won't be active at work tomorrow."

"If I don't talk to you, I will lose my energy!"

We were silent for a few seconds at the same time, Yang Chen coughed lightly as if to cover up: "I'll be back in about half a month. I'm tired, so I won't talk."

"Good night."

"Good night... I miss you."

The last sentence was spoken quickly, passing by his ears.I looked at the call interface that hung up on my phone, and couldn't tell what it was like.

Absurd and uninteresting, but still slightly touching.

The announcement of the arrival on the high-speed rail sounded, and the feeling that had not yet landed turned into happiness in an instant.Fortunately, Yang Chen didn't hear it, otherwise it would be enough for me to be noticed by him even if something was wrong.

I took off my glasses and slowly massaged around my eyes.

Because of my poor eyesight, I usually wear contact lenses at work.Although nothing was found in the last examination, the doctor told me to protect my eyes and wear less contact lenses.

I used to wear framed glasses for a while when my eyeballs were inflamed. I felt a little too student-like, so I threw them away after recovering. I didn't expect to have to wear them again now.

Poor eyes that have been plagued by disasters, followed me to suffer one after another.Thankfully I decided to let it retire early with me.

Don't have to suffer anymore.

When I arrived at the station, the sky was completely dark. I had never been to this city, and I was a little dazed standing among the hurrying people.

According to the route Dong Xiaoqian sent me, I had to take a long-distance bus to get to the location where they filmed the reality show, a farm that sounded very remote.I understand that she can't get away, but I still can't help but sigh deeply when facing the densely packed bus in the lobby.

Tang Mo arranges the usual business trip itinerary, from air tickets to hotel reservations, you don't have to worry about it at all.Facing the current situation, I couldn't help but regret why I didn't bring her with me.

just kidding.

It is my purpose not to delay my office work due to personal matters. If I leave temporarily now, the company's affairs will depend on Tang Mo and Andre.

Fortunately, after I asked, I figured out the whole process and got on a passenger car smoothly.The seats are cramped and it takes three hours to reach the destination.The air conditioner in the car was not turned on, so I stretched out my hand to try it out, and managed to open the window a little.

The nights in summer are still hot and dry. Even with light luggage, my shirt was wet with sweat just after a lot of tossing around, and it stuck to my back uncomfortably.

"Brother Junyan, are you in the car?"

Dong Xiaoqian sent a text message, and I replied: I will drive later, and I will arrive at about eleven o'clock.

"I booked a room for you in the county. You can stay for one night and rest, and I will pick you up tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work!"

At the same time, there is also accommodation information.

Running all the way is really exhausting, I am not in the mood to say anything more to her, so I replied briefly to say that I have seen it.

The car started slowly, and the wind blowing towards the face was mixed with a bit of unpleasant car exhaust, which was much cooler after all.I can finally look at the blurry night outside the window and let myself be quiet for a while.

I don't know what's going on with Song Cheng, but if Dong Xiaoqian is so worried, it's probably not a minor injury.

Immediately after receiving her call, I booked the ticket for the afternoon, and then worked non-stop with Andre.During the period, he was deceived by his pitiful appearance, and his heart softened for a while and he agreed to many unequal treaties.

Although it seemed so anxious, in fact, I didn't feel very difficult in my heart, I just felt that I was doing my duty.

It's ridiculous to say that I might not even be Song Cheng's ex-boyfriend, but a "friend" who has lived together on and off for half a year, and I don't even know his real side at all.

Even so, I couldn't ignore it all.

The tenderness he gave me is genuine, and it has been a short-lived light in my dark life.He never asked for anything, but I don't want to be someone who doesn't get anything in return.

It is my duty to repay this kindness.

I fell asleep against the car window for a while, and woke up in a daze until the phone in my pocket kept vibrating.

I was not sober when I picked up the phone, and I didn't look carefully at who was calling: "...Hello?"

"Don't talk so pretentiously, Brother Mushroom."

The male voice on the phone seemed a little frivolous, and I raised my hand to rub my temples: "Yin Wenjun, what do you want?"

"It's okay, I would like to invite you to sit in the store." Just as the truck behind it blew its horn, he smiled after a moment of silence, "It doesn't sound like the downtown area. You usually live outside the Sixth Ring Road?"

I felt the blue veins on my forehead twitch: "You don't care, I'll hang up if I have nothing to say."

"Hey, what are you doing in such a hurry? It's not rushing to steal someone. At least we have a relationship. My brother and I are lonely, let's talk."

The uncle in the seat next to me was concentrating on his mobile phone, and my drowsiness disappeared.He simply leaned back, lowered his voice and asked, "What topic do you want to talk about?"

"Then let's talk about the criteria for choosing a spouse." His voice was lazy and he sounded very relaxed. "My criteria are a good wife and mother, who can go to the hall and go to the kitchen."

"I can't see it. Besides, men are not like what you said."

With his playboy virtues, it was completely unexpected that he would have such a liking.

"Of course it's a woman. It's okay to play now. If I really find a man for the rest of my life, my dad can break my legs."

I frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but I still didn't speak.

My family sweeps the snow in front of the door. I disagree with his choice, and I have no way of commenting on it after all.

"What's the point of just talking about me, what about you?" He sighed, "I have to say that your level is really high, even Yang Chen can win."

"If you really think I'm great, kowtow to learn from a teacher now, I'll consider whether to pass it on to you."

"I would like to ask for a lesson or two if it is taught in bed."

"Can you say something that fits your image?" I was speechless for a while, "I wasted my face for nothing, and I became a hooligan with just one mouth."

"You're alive, it's meaningless to set those rules for yourself." He laughed at the other end, "Didn't I teach you? Don't be restrained, you can be as happy as you want. Come on, come back to the question, what type do you like? You have to be like Yang Chen of?"

"...It's up to me to choose wherever I want, and I can just go with whoever looks up to me."

Good-looking is like poison, and the proud son of heaven is too dazzling.

The people around me are so good that they cannot be reached. I know that I am not worthy, and I can only wait for their occasional sincerity.

And disappointment after disappointment.

"What are you talking about, kick it if you don't like it, the next one will definitely be better."

The night outside the window is dim, from my point of view I can't see the moon, only a few stars, and the dark blue night has a black border at the end.

I couldn't help showing a wry smile, and said softly: "It's not that easy, not everyone has your conditions."

"What conditions? I am an illegitimate child, you can still be worse than me. Life is short, enjoy yourself in time."

His tone was calm, and he said this kind of thing indifferently, but made me hold the phone in a daze.

"It means to be a jerk when you should be a jerk, don't wrong yourself, or you will have no strength."
