At the end of the dinner, Xie Jinian received a call from Wang Wenyuan.

He anxiously asked on the phone: "Brother Nian, did Boss Duan have some trouble with you today?"

"Do you know Duan Ruiqun's background?" Xie Jinian didn't want to argue with Wang Wenyuan, so he directly asked his doubts.

Wang Wenyuan was silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, he answered eagerly: "President Duan... that... I heard... a little bit. But... I am not with him... Oh, what should I say..."

In any case, Wang Wenyuan knew about it.After confirming this point, Xie Jinnian had no choice but to feel desolate sadness in his heart.

Although it is said that people have to exchange what they have for what they don't have, but whether it is worth it or not, different people have different criteria for judging.

His silence made Wang Wenyuan a little flustered, and cautiously called "Brother Nian" again.

Xie Jinnian didn't want to be hypocritical, and he didn't want to waste each other's time. He said directly: "We don't need to contact each other in the future. Some things are not that simple, and the risk is greater than you think. That's all I have to say. You should think it through before you do it." .”

Not wanting to say anything more to Wang Wenyuan, Xie Jinian planned to hang up the phone.

"Brother Nian!" Wang Wenyuan called urgently, and stopped him from hanging up the phone.

"I'm sorry." Wang Wenyuan said, "But Brother Nian, I'm not young anymore, this circle... I have to go up."

"Is this going up?" Xie Jinian was a little helpless, but he didn't want to say more to influence Wang Wenyuan's choice and judgment. The choice he made was to be borne by himself, and everyone was like this.

He said sincerely: "I wish you an early realization of your wish, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Yuchen had already confirmed the end of the dinner with Li Shi. He hugged Xie Jinian's shoulder from behind and whispered, "Who are you saying goodbye to? I feel a little lonely."

These words made Xie Jinnian feel a little sad.Goodbye these two words, he did say too many times today.

And the people he said goodbye to are actually people who will never see each other again, or even if they say goodbye, they would be better off gone.

Ji Yuchen looked at Xie Jinian who was getting a little lonely, shook his shoulder, put his chin on his shoulder, and said coquettishly: "Brother, you are too tired. I am too tired, I don't want to move at all."

Xie Jinian habitually raised his head and rubbed his younger brother's hair: "You have too many things to do these few days, and you don't have enough sleep time. And tomorrow morning you invited Li Yuexin to discuss the progress of the cooperation in the hotel cafe, right? You can get a room in the hotel to rest tonight and go home tomorrow."

He called a waiter who had already cleaned up the venue: "Please contact the PR manager to open two executive suites."

The waiter responded, and Xie Jinian handed Ji Yuchen who didn't want to open his eyes to Li Shi: "I'm going home tonight to finish the risk model that will be sent back to the United States tomorrow, and you and Mr. Ji are resting at the hotel. "

After Ji Yuchen settled down, the driver arranged by Li Shi sent him back to the gate of the first international community, it was already the early morning of the next day.

A taxi stopped outside the gate of the community when he got off the car and walked a few steps, and then there was a rush of footsteps coming towards him as he got off the car in the middle of the night.

A bad premonition came to his mind, he quickly looked back, and at the same time took out his phone and unlocked it.

Five very young men got out of the taxi, all of them were too thin, they looked like drug addicts. Seeing Xie Jinnian turn around, they quickened their pace and obviously came towards Xie Jinnian.

There was a security guard on duty at the gate, but the gate of the First International was quite a distance from the roadside. Xie Jinian quickly pressed the alarm number on his mobile phone and ran towards the gate at the same time.

Those men chased him forward, and the bright metal knife light reflected cold lines under the street lamp.

There was still 20 meters away from the gate, and a loud scolding suddenly sounded: "What are you doing? I have already called the security guard!"

The door opened immediately, and a slender and thin man came out, followed by security guards who came out of the sentry box.

Seeing this situation, those people immediately ran around like birds and beasts, and Xie Jinnian had no time to worry about it, and ran to the gate.

Everything happened so suddenly, he almost ran with all his strength, and when he stopped, his breathing rate suddenly became disordered, and he couldn't help coughing violently.

The man who called the security guard and shouted those people away hastily followed his back and said, "Are you all right?"

Finally regaining his breath, Xie Jinian straightened his back and said gratefully, "It's all right. Thank you."

"I also just entered the gate, and I accidentally looked back and called the security guard at the gate when I felt something was wrong." The man smiled and held out his hand to Xie Jinian, "Should be a neighbor? I'm Song Jinghui, and I live in No. 12 Building [-]A."

After shaking hands with Song Jinghui, Xie Jinian replied with a smile, "I live in No.12, Floor 12A."

"What a coincidence." Song Jinghui and Xie Jinian walked into the community side by side, "Do you want to call the police? I can be a witness for you. But those men look like hired social idlers, so they don't look much at night You have a clear appearance. Do you think you have offended anyone? You should try to be more careful when you go in and out in the future."

Xie Jinian nodded, and Duan Ruiqun's eyes were obviously full of hostility when he left the dinner lounge.

"Shall I take you home?" Song Jinghui asked again, "Just in case."

"No need, the security of the First International is well-known." Xie Jinian declined, "It's too late, you should go home early."

"Okay, add a WeChat, send me a message when you get home, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Song Jinghui took out his phone, quickly added Xie Jinian to WeChat, and said goodbye heartily.

Walking out of the elevator room, when his eyes fell on the silent Block B, Xie Jinnian twitched with a calm heart.

He shook his head subconsciously with a wry smile, quietly walked through Block B, opened the door of his house, and at the same time sent Song Jinghui a WeChat message saying he was home safely.

Song Jinghui replied in seconds: "Okay, good night."

After exiting Song Jinghui's WeChat interface, Xie Jinian's gaze inevitably swept across the WeChat interface again.

After passing out in the parking lot of the yacht club and being sent to the hospital, Han Yicheng never sent him a message. After a few days of silence, his WeChat dialog box was continuously superimposed and moved downward. After swiping the page, Han Yicheng was no longer visible.

That's fine.Xie Jinian turned off the screen, put down the phone and went into the bathroom.

Han Yicheng did abide by the agreement, and for the next two weeks, he did not appear in Block B, nor did he send a message to Xie Jinian.

Just like his WeChat in Xie Jinnian's mobile phone, it was silently overwritten, and eventually became so silent that he would never be remembered again.

Ji Yuchen gradually got used to this kind of quietness.He even joked that the days when no one harassed him were too quiet, and his sense of crisis had faded a bit, so he needed to go to a judo gym to actually compete for a few exercises to exercise his consciousness and muscles.

Xie Jinnian gradually got used to this kind of quietness.

But someone always wants to break this silence.

On the weekend morning, Ji Yuchen made breakfast and confirmed with Li Shi the itinerary to go out.

Xie Jinian drank his coffee slowly, watched the industry news on his mobile phone, and didn't bother Ji Yuchen.

After Ji Yuchen and Li Shi confirmed, they turned to Xie Jinian: "Brother, I have an important meeting today, can you accompany me?"

Xie Jinnian nodded first, and then asked, "Who are you seeing?"

"There is a problem in the technology department that is not easy to solve. An associate professor at Lingbei University has a patent on biopotential energy that should be able to solve it. The technology department wants to hire him as a consultant. The associate professor responded that he has no interest in serving as a consultant for enterprises. I Make an appointment with him to see if you can convince him with sincerity."

As he said that, he smiled childishly again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back, it will be different with my brother around."

"Don't underestimate yourself." Xie Jinian put down his phone, "I know you are afraid that I will be bored at home alone, so you specifically want me to go out and have a look around."

"Your daily commute to and from get off work at two o'clock is too monotonous." Ji Yuchen said, walking into the room, "I'll pick out clothes for you, and I guarantee that you are the most handsome in the whole university!"

Xie Jinian asked Ji Yuchen not to remind him too exaggeratedly, and was blocked by a series of calls from unfamiliar numbers received by his mobile phone.

He answered the call indifferently, but he didn't expect it to be Duan Ruiqun's call.

Duan Ruiqun's breath fell into his ears through the earpiece, and there was a vague feeling of a poisonous snake spitting out a letter.Xie Jinnian decisively put the phone away and hung up.

In a few seconds, his mobile phone rang the WeChat notification tone again.

Here comes Wang Wenyuan.

Xie Jinian frowned and nodded, but there was a line of news that he hadn't expected: [If you are too proud, it may not be very safe]

This news should not have come from Wang Wenyuan, probably because Duan Ruiqun and Wang Wenyuan were together and took his mobile phone to operate it.

The images of those who wanted to attack him in the middle of the night instantly came to mind, Xie Jinian directly blocked Wang Wenyuan without even thinking about it.

Ji Yuchen called him in the room: "Brother, I have chosen."

Xie Jinian responded, walked into the room to cooperate with Ji Yuchen, and at the same time sent Li Shi a message to upgrade his and Ji Yuchen's security.

The cafe of Lingbei University is a place where Internet celebrities check in. The fragrance of books and coffee, as well as the unique building almost entirely made of glass curtain walls are integrated together, which is indeed enough to relax.

Xie Jinian was fascinated by the sunlight falling into the coffee cup through the glass roof. It was not until Ji Yuchen pulled his sleeve and said, "Brother, the associate professor is here" that he turned his attention away and looked at the entrance of the coffee shop.

A man in a casual windbreaker walked into the coffee shop. He wore gold-rimmed glasses. The sunlight fell on the frame of the glasses, but it couldn't hide his bright smile and clear eyes.When he walked towards Ji Yuchen and Xie Jinian within a short distance of ten meters, people kept saying hello to him, and he always responded patiently and politely.

"It's not like a scholar, it's more like a star entering the arena." Ji Yuchen joked with a smile, "But my brother is still better looking than the associate professor."

"You have a filter." Xie Jinian said, stood up with a smile, and said to the visitor, "This is too coincidental. So you are Associate Professor Song."

When the visitor saw Xie Jinian, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled brighter: "Fate."

It turned out that the associate professor who appeared to be a celebrity was Song Jinghui who helped him when he was almost attacked that night.

Under the street lights in the community late at night, it was just after a chaotic situation. Although Xie Jinian thought Song Jinghui was pretty, he didn't have much deep feelings.

But at this moment, Song Jinghui, who came slowly under the sun, even had a bit of the youthful look that often appeared in Ji Yuchen, handsome and elegant, but not academic, no wonder he was popular.

Without knowing it, Ji Yuchen looked at his brother, and at the associate professor he was about to impress with sincerity, and grabbed Xie Jinian's wrist: "Do you know each other?"

Xie Jinian hastily interrupted Song Jinghui, who was about to answer, and said to Ji Yuchen, "Associate Professor Song and we are neighbors. He lives in Building No. [-]. I met him in the First International."

Seeing that Xie Jinian didn't intend to tell Ji Yuchen the reason why they knew each other, Song Jinghui also smiled understandingly: "If I had known, I would have made an appointment at my house directly. The coffee I make is no worse than the one here."

"If you have a chance, you must go to Associate Professor Song's house to bother." Ji Yuchen let Song Jinghui into the seat, confirmed the coffee that Song Jinghui wanted, and went to the information desk.

After Song Jinghui sat down, he took a good look at Xie Jinian for a long time, and finally let out a long breath.

He opened his mouth with a little apology: "I want to ask you an abrupt question. Although it may not be polite, if I don't ask, I will definitely regret it."

Xie Jinian was stunned for a moment, and had some vague thoughts in his mind, but he still nodded: "Please tell me."

"You said that you and I are neighbors. So you and Vice President Ji are lovers?"

"He is my younger brother." Xie Jinian said.

"Really?" Song Jinghui showed a gentle and reassuring smile, "Then can I ask more abruptly, can I date you?"

"Of course, I'm sorry if I misunderstood your orientation. But when I got home that day, I kept suppressing the idea of ​​sending you a message." Song Jinghui looked into Xie Jinian's eyes passionately and sincerely, "I want to see you , I want to know more about you."

Xie Jinian opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to say it.

"I'll tell you what to say first." Ji Yuchen sat down gracefully, and took the words, "The person who wants to date my brother, without going through my test, I absolutely can't agree to it."

"Of course, I accept the inspection." Song Jinghui responded to Ji Yuchen freely.

Xie Jinian subconsciously glanced at Song Jinghui, and looked away a little embarrassedly under the gentle eyes.

"I don't like to go around in circles. Let me just say it. Since everyone is a neighbor, just call me by my name. I'll just call you by your name honestly. As for Vice President Ji..." Song Jinghui looked at Ji Yu Chen, "whatever your brother calls you, I will let him, okay?"

Ji Yuchen blinked at Xie Jinian, and then said to Song Jinghui, "That's not acceptable. You won't let him go until my brother officially recognizes you."

Ji Yuchen's joke eased Xie Jinian's faint embarrassment, he patted the back of Ji Yuchen's hand with a smirk: "Vice President Ji, be careful."

Ji Yuchen smiled and asked the waiter to serve Song Jinghui coffee, and said directly to Song Jinghui, "I won't play around anymore, brother Jinghui, can you consider accepting Ji's invitation to be a technical consultant?"

When it comes to work, Ji Yuchen's youthful spirit has become a kind of clear momentum and self-confidence: "Although Ji's is not the industry's top in the domestic new energy field, we do have unique excellence in bio-potential energy. The research laboratory in the United States is also the top in the world, if the time is suitable, you can also visit the American research laboratory, and then decide whether to serve as a consultant."

Song Jinghui also entered the professional state of talking about work: "The information given by your company's technical department before was really not enough to impress me. But I noticed that Ji seems to be researching the in-depth development of X molecules? I am quite interested in this, and I can expand it." Let's talk."

Xie Jinian sat beside him quietly, drinking coffee.Every time Song Jinghui and Ji Yuchen talked a few words, they would subconsciously glance at Xie Jinian.

The gentle and warm eyes were sincere and clear, which gradually eased Xie Jinian's awkward embarrassment because of the "date" he proposed.

Sunshine quietly moved some positions, melting Song Jinghui's whole body into the light. The precious, focused and warm gaze in such an atmosphere made Xie Jinian think, with such a person, Maybe there will indeed be a long and quiet time.

It's just that he's not ready yet.

Song Jinghui and Ji Yuchen chatted for a long time. Although they didn't come to a specific agreement, at least there is no problem in cooperating with Ji to solve the current situation that Ji's technology department is facing.

After finishing the topic of work, Song Jinghui said to Xie Jinian gently: "Shall I take you home?"

Then, he laughed again: "Or, you take me home?"

Ji Yuchen quietly watched from the sidelines, but Xie Jinian hesitated for a moment, and said straightly: "My impression of Associate Professor Song is definitely not bad. But... I'm sorry, I really felt that it was a little sudden."

"But in terms of probability, most of the feelings happen suddenly." Song Jinghui blinked with a smile, "In reality, how many couples may have known each other for a lifetime and got together naturally?"

Xie Jinian's hand that was holding the coffee cup stopped suddenly.

Ji Yuchen raised his hand to call the waiter to pay the bill, and at the same time said: "Brother Jinghui, I can feel your sincerity and concern for my brother, but how about following the steps?"

"Okay." Song Jinghui smiled generously, "Then let's go home separately today. But..."

He winked at Xie Jinian: "I hope to have the honor to have lunch with you when I go to your Ji's technical department next Monday."

Song Jinghui showed his demeanor naturally, and Xie Jinian also nodded generously: "It's my honor."

On the way home, Ji Yuchen chatted a few words about the prospect of cooperating with Song Jinghui, and said bluntly, "Brother, I think Brother Jinghui is pretty good."

Xie Jinnian was silent and didn't make a sound.

"Compared to the scum like Duan Ruiqun, and Han... forget it. Brother, I will not interfere with your choice, but I hope you will be happy."

"I know." Xie Jinian nodded moodily, "I... try."

With Song Jinghui's help, the technical department's problems were quickly resolved, and Ji's pace of setting up factories in China was smoothly and orderly as planned.

Time moved forward quietly, half a year passed slowly, Ji's business has been on the right track, and the cooperation between Li's, Qi Nian International and Ji's has also been in-depth.

Ji Yuchen did not ask Xie Jinian to participate more in the cooperation of Qi Nian, but through the meeting minutes and other documents that he will see at work, Xie Jinnian can still see with certainty that Han Yicheng has not participated in the cooperation between Qi Nian International and Ji's In terms of specific connection, basically, Fu Nianheng was the one who came forward for Qi Nian International, and Fenghan International also announced that the CEO was changed to Han Dongzhou, but everyone in the circle knew that the person who would implement and make decisions must be Han Xiuqi.

Han Yicheng did indeed disappear in Xie Jinian's life as he promised. Block B has been quiet and no one is coming in or out. He did not suddenly appear in front of Xie Jinnian, nor did he send any messages to Xie Jinnian.

But Xie Jinnian still didn't feel the relief he thought he would have because of Han Yicheng's retreat.Occasionally, he would mistakenly see a similar figure passing by, and he would still think it was Han Yicheng.When the phone rings to remind him, he can't help but wonder if it's Han Yicheng.

He didn't want to explain the sticky, vague, lingering feeling.He and Han Yicheng are really over.In time, Han Yicheng might not be able to remember what he looked like, and he would smile sadly when he remembered, and continue with the life he chose.

But now, in his two-point and one-line life between work and home, besides returning to the United States to spend a few days with his father every month, Song Jinghui has also been added.

Song Jinghui's gentle and sincere pursuit attitude, and bright and generous behavior habits did not make Xie Jinian feel uncomfortable.Sometimes even going to Song Jinghui's house on weekends to drink coffee and chat about the development of biopotential energy or unimportant topics made him feel completely different from being with others and relaxing and at ease.

It's just that the feeling between the two of them has always been in a delicate state. Although it's not cold, he is always a little lazy and can't get hot.

Fortunately, Song Jinghui is indeed like a modest gentleman, neither pretentious nor artificial, and gets along with Xie Jinian with a natural elegance.

This day ended the work of Ji's technical department, and Ji Yuchen had a business dinner, so Song Jinghui naturally drove Xie Jinian back to First International.

After the car stopped, Song Jinghui gently pressed Xie Jinian's hand to untie his seat belt, and his magnetic voice oscillated a different kind of emotion in the tight space of the car: "Can I expect a goodnight kiss? "

Xie Jinian was startled, looked at Song Jinghui, but didn't speak.

Changing the action of lightly pressing Xie Jinian's hand into holding Xie Jinian's hand, Song Jinghui gently rubbed the back of Xie Jinian's hand with his thumb, and slowly leaned his body towards him, slowly approaching, his words After all, there was still a little nervousness due to expectations: "Or to put it another way, Ah Nian, I want to kiss you, is that okay?"

Song Jinghui's breath was getting closer and closer, and his dry and refreshing breath caressed Xie Jinian's nose with a trembling touch.

The hand held by Song Jinghui was clenched into a fist in Song Jinghui's palm, and it became tighter as Song Jinghui got closer.

When the lips were so close that there was only a few centimeters between them, Song Jinghui stopped approaching.He held Xie Jinian's hand even tighter, and whispered: "Ah Nian, are you nervous or resisting?"

Xie Jinian's Adam's apple moved, but he still didn't make a sound.

He just felt that his mind was full of chaotic fragments, and he couldn't piece together a complete response, nor could he make any meaningful actions.

The fragment seemed to melt into the blood and flow to the heart, cutting out fine soreness and pain, but he couldn't tell what the source of this palpitation was.

Or, he didn't want to admit that there was someone's shadow in those fragments.

Song Jinghui pursed his lips, sighed deeply, and said softly and firmly, "A Nian, I want to kiss you."
