vulgar

"I," Zhou Si said, but didn't know what to say.He took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, put it in his mouth, and was about to light it, but saw Cheng slightly raised his hand and put it down again, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yi curled his lips and explained something. He explained very quietly, probably because he was afraid that someone would think he was meddling: "Smoking is not good for children."

"You, like her very much?"

Zhou Si took down the cigarette and threw it on the table, then looked back at the child who made him feel particularly dizzy.

The little girl probably also noticed Zhou Si's gaze. She was dancing and messing around with the nanny, Aunt Yanyan, but she stopped her movements for a moment and stood upright.Zhou Si frowned, he didn't like such a little girl who looked different in front of him and when she wasn't in front of him.

Much like her mother.

Cheng Yi, who followed Zhou Si's movements, also saw the same scene. He felt that this little girl was very cute in front of Zhou Si.She would look at Zhou Si with those big eyes, and look at Cheng Yi curiously.

It's just that such clumsy flattery should be attributed to Zhou Si not giving the little girl a good face.

"I like it. She is cute, smart, and has her own opinions, and she can express what she wants." Cheng Yi smiled, with envy in his eyes, "She should be quite like her mother."

Hearing what Cheng Yi said, Zhou Si turned his attention to the daughter he had raised for several years: "That's right, it's really not like me."

When Zhou Si said this, he tilted his head, saw Cheng Yi's eyes dimmed, and heard Cheng Yi reply a little lonely: "But this is also very good, Mr. Zhou."

You have a happy family, you have a lovely daughter, you should also have a well-behaved wife, and you have a successful career. You have a company and become the boss. Compared with Cheng Yi's nine-year struggle, returning from abroad is like People who do nothing are much better off.

You must know that Zhou Si is just a three-ben school, while Cheng Yi is the "985" and "211" that those scholars envy.

Obviously walking two equally difficult roads, but there are always some people who are more brilliant than others.

"not good."

I don't know if it was Cheng Yi's illusion, but he seemed to have heard Zhou Si say this.

"What?" Cheng Yi asked uncertainly.

Zhou Si changed his words, he said he didn't say anything.

Cheng took the oiran from the clerk. He specially selected a 3.0 oiran, which smelled like caramel and cream.This is the taste that Cheng Yi first fell in love with when he was boarding at his tutor's house abroad.

It tastes the same as the cake that Zhou Si bought for him with his first salary from part-time jobs.

At that time, after he drank it, he started to cry inexplicably, which shocked both the tutor and the teacher's wife. He also repeatedly explained that it was the taste of the cake bought by a former classmate of his.Later, every time he talked about it, he would be laughed at by his instructor several times.

Of course, he was also asked by the tutor: "That classmate, is it very important to you?" He shook his head, and nodded again when the tutor disagreed.

Unfortunately, Zhou Si did not drink this cup of oiran.

When Cheng Yi turned around to pick up the coffee, he picked up the phone and had a few sharp words with the person on the phone. He didn't hang up the phone until Cheng Yi poured all the coffee into his cup: "Are you here again?" I'm in trouble."

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows, didn't explore Zhou Si's "trouble", when he was about to ask him to try it, he saw that he didn't intend to sit down, but just looked at Cheng Yi, and waited for Cheng Yi to raise his head slightly and meet him eyes.

He just licked his lips, took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger that had just surged up.

"I still have something to do, so I have to go up first. That child, if she has had enough fun, you can just ask the nanny to take her back." Zhou Si paused, "Sorry to trouble you."

The glass Cheng Yi was holding, because Zhou Si's polite half-sentence knocked on the table, made a "click", and the crisp sound echoed in Cheng Yi's mind.

Always remember, there will be reverberations?

He didn't expect such an echo one day.

He said coldly, and returned the same politeness: "No trouble, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Si obviously wanted to say something else, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say first.In the end he just pursed his lips.

When the end came to an end, he managed to hold back a sentence: "This cup of coffee will be on my head, I will ask Fang Xiao to come down and pay the bill later."

After speaking, he strode upstairs without saying goodbye to the little girl, and went upstairs directly.

After that day, Zhou Si seemed to be busy. Cheng Yi didn't see him much, but every morning he would ask Fang Xiao to buy a cup of coffee. At that time, Cheng Yi probably didn't wake up. The clerk told Cheng Yi to drive home.

Until the rainy season in City C came, there was a steady stream of thunder every night. A thunder seemed to blow on Cheng Yi's head, and it directly blew up the vulnerable Internet in Cheng's family, forcing Cheng Yi to have nothing to do. I was boarding at Wei Xun's company, and when I went downstairs to buy supper at a convenience store late at night, I saw Zhou Si who had just finished working from a distance.

Zhou Si probably hasn't been home for a few days, his shirt is all wrinkled, and even the stubble on his chin is protruding.

Cheng Yi looked at him sitting on the seat provided by the convenience store, pressed the corners of his eyes, bought a cup of hot milk from the clerk, and asked the clerk to deliver it, but he didn't meet Zhou Si, and went straight back to Wei Xun's company with a red umbrella .

Probably because he didn't look back, he didn't notice that the people in the convenience store kept watching him with milk.

Just because he didn't pay attention doesn't mean someone didn't see it.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, Wei Zong, who had just sorted out the materials for tomorrow's court with his assistant, was caught by a moving red umbrella on the dark street downstairs.Unexpectedly, looking along the umbrella, it is a transparent 711 convenience store.There was a person standing behind the window of the convenience store, facing the direction in which the red umbrella man was moving.

Not long after, the red umbrella disappeared from sight, and the man behind the window also returned to the opposite building.

Wei Xun walked to the company elevator with great interest, waiting for the person who came out of the elevator when it arrived.

"What did you buy me?"

"Grilled sausage." Cheng Yi opened the plastic bag.

Wei Xun reluctantly reached out to take it: "I've already met your old lover, and I still only have one sausage?"

"Then why don't you want me to open my store now and make you a glass of espresso with ice?" Cheng glanced at him.

"We've been together for so many years, didn't you say give me the whole hand mill?"

Cheng Yi went straight into Wei Xun's office and turned on his VPN: "Who is with you. Don't post back, I'm afraid your assets are not enough to support me."

"Who can afford you, I think it's only the one in the convenience store." Wei Xun moved his other monitor to Cheng Yi, "Didn't you still need a screen to watch data yesterday?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Cheng Yi raised his eyes and warned, "I don't think about it now. I live my own life."

Wei Wei connected the monitor, made himself a cup of instant water, and pulled away the stool: "You really want to live by yourself, why are you going back to China? You don't want to be nice to him, why are you coming to City C? Cooperation list..."

"Hey, Wei Xun, if you're not sleepy, just sit down and don't make a sound, and if you're sleepy, go to sleep quickly, I don't have time to talk to you." Cheng Yi seemed to have lost his temper when Wei Xun grabbed his pigtails, "You said back then He has a wife and daughter and told me to give up, I am now thinking about whether to give up, are you going to fight again?"

"I just saw him watching you back in the store." Wei Zong clicked his tongue and said something stupid that he would never say as a lawyer in his life, "law is law, ethics is ethics, but compassion is compassion." .Who told you that you are Cheng Yi?! Oh, forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything, and went to bed. Don’t work too late, our company’s water and electricity are very expensive!”

As Cheng Yi's friend, Wei Xun can of course throw out a word of sympathy casually; but Cheng Yi, as the authority -

"How dare I move such a compassionate heart?"

Cheng Yi pushed away the keyboard in front of him, turned off the light on the computer screen, and also turned off the light in Wei Xun's office, living in the darkness.

If Wei Zun asked the wrong question, every sentence was correct.

He returned to China because of Zhou Si; he came to C City to buy a house for Zhou Si, invested in Wei Xun, opened a forone for Zhou Si, and even made an exchange with his former company... All of this was for Zhou Si— —Because he was the one who said to break up back then, he always felt that when we meet again, he should take the initiative.

He took the initiative to meet Zhou Si, invited him to drink a cup of oiran, and said: "I made a lot of money, enough to support you for several years, Brother Si."

But it seems that things backfired.

Of course, this was not the only thing that backfired.

It has been raining in City C for two weeks, and the rainy days are still continuing. The sky is overcast every day, and the dark clouds seem to be pressing on people's shoulders, making people breathless.The only freshness is that in front of the subway exit from these high-rise buildings, there will be old women selling baskets of gardenias on their backs.

A person like Cheng Yi who woke up in Wei Xun's lounge at noon would never know.One day, after ordering food, he saw the little girl from Weixi Company holding a bunch of them, and his eyes began to brighten, as if he hadn't seen gardenias much after finishing middle school; He was not there when the gardenias planted at home were in bloom, and he had never seen them.

In the evening, when he finished his work in his shop, he said to buy a bunch.

Just as I was about to go out, I heard the clerk say, "Boss, it's going to rain outside, can you take an umbrella?"

"No, I'll go to the subway entrance to buy something, and I'll be back soon, I won't get wet." Cheng Yi went out confidently, and the rain in City C came as soon as it said it would.When this time came, the building was full of wind, and the heavy rain poured down directly. He had just picked up the flowers and hadn't finished scanning the payment code, and the rain fell down in big drops.

He hurriedly helped the old woman pull the basket to the subway entrance to shelter from the rain.

"Be careful." He reminded the old woman.

Unexpectedly, the old woman's attention was all on her basket of flowers, and she said in her mouth: "Fortunately, fortunately! Otherwise, the old man will say that I ruined the flowers he picked for me early in the morning."

Cheng Yi, who barely heard the whole sentence clearly, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly.

Human love, staying together for many years, that's all.

One picks flowers in the morning, and the other sells flowers all day long.

One laughed and scolded, while the other sneered secretly.

Unlike him, he is still alone; he buys flowers alone, eats alone, makes money alone, gets scolded by himself, drinks alone, and lives alone.

He was studying and working in Phoenix City, and what he did sounded superficially beautiful and free, but in the end he was still lonely.

In such a big city of Phoenix, there is no one to share his joys and sorrows, and no one to listen to his complaints, and no one will stand at the school gate with an umbrella on a rainy day to wait for him, and call out to him when he comes out.

"Cheng Yiyi!"

"Cheng Yiyi."
