sleepy tiger

Mu Xu slept for a whole hour, and when he opened his eyes, the wall clock on the wall showed three o'clock in the morning, and the night outside the window was dark, and there were crows chirping from time to time.

Mu Xu slept for a whole hour, and when he opened his eyes, the wall clock on the wall showed three o'clock in the morning, and the night outside the window was dark, and there were crows chirping from time to time.He leaned against the head of the bed and sat up, turned on the overhead light, yawned, pulled the slippers and opened the door, walked along the long corridor into the kitchen, got a cup of hot water, took a sip of water standing in front of the French window, and stared blankly for a while.

Mu Xu hadn't slept so soundly for a long time, perhaps it was the familiar bedroom and the unchanging layout that made him feel peaceful and safe.On the snow outside the window, a fat squirrel slowly walked over. Mu Xu knocked on the glass, the squirrel was startled, and stood in place looking for the source of the sound.

There is an eight-hour time difference between London and Beijing, and it is eleven o'clock in the morning Beijing time. Mu Xu took out his mobile phone, hesitating whether to call Chi Juntao to explain the intention behind his decision.After thinking for a while, he put the phone into the pocket of his pajamas, forget it, let the young man calm down for two days.

Chi Juntao almost didn't get up in the morning. He sat on the edge of the bed with a dazed face, recalling what happened last night. His memory was like a damaged video, with serious frame drops and stuttering, and the sequence was upside down.He thought for a while, and managed to piece together a complete and logical story line - he asked Qi Yan to drink.

He has many friends, why did he choose Qi Yan, who is heartless?The reason is simple, only Qi Yan is in Beijing and has time to play with him.Cao Hanyang was digging coal in Shanxi, Lan Jinbao was too busy to touch the ground just now, Ye Rencheng was in the military camp, Qin Xinghe was helping the poor in the mountains of Guizhou, and only the heartless second generation ancestor Qi Yan was left walking dogs and raising birds all day Fighting crickets, I am so idle that grass grows on my head.

As soon as Qi Yan saw Chi Juntao, he said strangely: "I haven't seen you for a year, you have had a lot of vicissitudes."

"They're all out of business just like you." Chi Juntao gave him a sideways glance, rubbed his shoulders and entered the bar, sat at the bar, tapped on the counter, "A glass of gin."

"Because I'm not doing business, I have time to drink with you." Qi Yan sat next to Chi Juntao, elbowed him, "I heard you broke up with President Mu?"

"Shut up." Chi Juntao pushed a glass of wine in front of Qi Yan, "Drink, don't ask."

Qi Yan stared helplessly at the golden liquid, and said, "What's the point of just drinking it?" With his left hand resting on his cheek, he said to Chi Juntao, "Let's play a game, ask a question with a glass of wine, you Ask me first."

"What can you ask?" Chi Juntao said.

Qi Yan said: "Hey, don't look down on me, my family hasn't agreed to invest money in Hua Jin yet."

"Can you be the master?" Chi Juntao asked.

"I can't be the master, but I can tell you some secrets." Qi Yan said triumphantly, and he patted Chi Juntao on the shoulder, "We have been good brothers for so many years, I also hope that you will achieve great things, let me follow Dip in the light."

"Okay, let me ask you, is it really because of Mu Xu's background that the Qi family didn't invest money?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Drink first." Qi Yan motioned to Chi Juntao, and Chi Juntao let out a "tch", raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

"Half and half." Qi Yan said, "One is because of Mr. Mu's foreign investment background, and the other is because your cousin is from the Xie family. You also know that the Qi and Xie families have disliked each other for many years."

Chi Juntao said, "But..."

"Hey, hey, it's time for me to ask you." Qi Yan said, the bartender filled a glass of wine for him, and he held up the glass, "Mr. Mu really broke up with you?"

Chi Juntao frowned, and nodded reluctantly: "Yes."

"Tsk." Qi Yan sighed, "I thought you could go on." He finished his drink slowly, and Chi Juntao asked: "Then what do you think I can do to make your family willing to cooperate with Huajin?"

"I have a cousin." Qi Yan said, "I just came out to my family on Christmas, and my uncle died of a headache."

"...Are you pimping?" Chi Juntao raised his eyebrows.

"Try it." Qi Yan suggested, "It's just to see each other, and I won't let you go to bed with him directly."

"My grandfather just left." Chi Juntao said, "It's not convenient."

"What's the inconvenience? Your grandpa saw that you and the surname Qi are married in the sky, so you can't give you a red envelope in a dream." Qi Yan said, he raised his wine glass and touched Chi Juntao, "Cheers, I wish you Immediate success."

Chi Juntao smiled, his dark brown eyes were calm and unwavering, he lowered his head and took a sip of the mellow wine, his thick eyelashes concealed his thoughts, and when he looked up, he was a handsome and cynical young man from a wealthy family, he said: "Okay .”

"Hey, that's it." Qi Yan said, "After pretending to be infatuated for more than a year, it's time for a new one."

Chi Juntao asked the bartender to pour another round of wine, and he said, "Is your cousin good-looking?"

"He has a relatively introverted personality and doesn't talk much." Qi Yan said, "Hey, he's a bit like Mr. Mu in this regard."

"No one is like him." Chi Juntao said.

"Looks..." Qi Yan thought for a while and said, "Bai Jing, small, just over 1.7 meters tall, wearing glasses."

"You can't describe it." Chi Juntao said.

"I'll make an appointment for you. I'll meet you the night after tomorrow after get off work." Qi Yan said, "I heard that Mr. Chen will come to discuss cooperation again next Tuesday. You should behave yourself."

"How old is your cousin?" Chi Juntao said, "I'm too young to do it."

"22." Qi Yan said, "Graduated from university this summer."

Chi Juntao sipped his wine, feeling a little hesitant.

Qi Yan said: "If you don't make it, you won't make it. Are you afraid that my cousin will pester you?"

"A little bit." Chi Juntao said.

"...Narcissist." Qi Yan rolled his eyes.

When the fourth round of wine came, Chi Juntao felt a crack in his rational defense, he put down his glass and said, "I'm going home, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"What time is it?" Qi Yan said, "What's the rush?"

"I have to be home before eleven o'clock." Chi Juntao stood up, "I'm leaving."

"Who made the rules for you?" Qi Yan wondered, "There is no one at home, so why go back?"

Chi Juntao simply turned around and left, Qi Yan caught up and asked, "Wait a minute, when will you meet my cousin?"

"It depends on your arrangement." Chi Juntao said, "I can do it." He stepped out of the bar, stopped a taxi by the side of the road, opened the door and sat in the back row, "Scholarly Garden."

Qi Yan watched the taxi leaving blankly, and muttered in a low voice, "Crazy."

Chi Juntao stared blankly at the bustling night scene passing by outside the car window. For some reason, he suddenly burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. He clenched his teeth, covered his eyes with his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and let out a suppressed sob.

The driver slowed down, took out a tissue and handed it to Chi Juntao. He didn't ask any questions or persuade him. He just turned on the radio, and quiet pure music echoed in the car.Chi Juntao lowered the car window and rubbed his eyes, he was sleepy and sad.Under the catalytic effect of alcohol, his emotions were extremely sensitive and fragile. He took a deep breath and clasped his hands, but his mood was even more depressed because he didn't wear a ring.

A chubby magpie fell outside the window, squawking loudly, dragging Chi Juntao out of memories and drowning negative emotions.He walked into the bathroom, stood in front of the sink, poured a handful of cold water on his face with both hands, and after washing, he went to the closet and changed into a suit, looked at the jewelry table for a long time, opened the drawer, took out Mu Xu before leaving The watch given to him earlier was clasped on his wrist, and his fingertips brushed the surface of the pink diamond with nostalgia, he closed the velvet box, and closed the drawer.

After drinking a cup of hot water, Mu Xu moved back to the bedroom, lay down with his eyes open until the sky turned white, and fell into a light sleep again.It was eight o'clock in the morning when he woke up leisurely, and his little nephew Allen stood by the bed and whispered, "Good morning, uncle."

"Morning." Mu Xu sat up with his arms propped up, "Why don't you go to eat?"

"I want to call you, but my mother won't let me call you." Allen said, "I want to wait 5 minutes."

"I'll go wash up, and then we'll go have breakfast together." Mu Xu squeezed Allen's cheek and walked towards the bathroom.

Allen followed behind Mu Xu like a little tail, and he said, "Mom said you have a boyfriend."

Mu Xu paused while picking up the toothbrush, and let out a "hmm".

"Like me and Emma?" Allen asked, "Emma is my girlfriend."

Mu Xu spit out the toothpaste foam and rinsed his mouth with a mouthful of water. During this period, Allen asked continuously: "Will you bring him toffee? Will you play toys with him? Will you send him flowers?"

Mu Xu said while rinsing the cup: "Yes, but he doesn't seem to like gifts very much."

"What did you send?" Allen asked, "Emma likes sunflowers."

"Flowers, and watches." Mu Xu said.

"Maybe he likes toffee." Allen suggested seriously, "Or you can hug him. When Emma falls down, I hug her and she will be happy."

"Thank you for your suggestion." Mu Xu wiped his face clean, took Allen's hand and walked out of the bedroom, "When I see him, I will hug him."
