Tropical Highway

The next day, I went to the bank to find Jiang Fang. The 50 that I said I wanted to transfer was delayed for a while. You Zhen threw him the card and ID card together, and sat down on the large and comfortable chair and took a bag of tea.

"There are cups over there." Jiang Fang pointed in the direction of the water dispenser.

"No need." You Zhen only studied the tea packaging, and put it back in place after a while in disgust, "You usually treat customers to drink this? No wonder you can't get resources. Let me know before you go to 'holiday', Bring you some good tea."

Jiang Fang lowered his head and wrote some documents without raising his head: "Customers don't deserve to drink good tea here."

You Zhen: "..."

You Zhen: "Keep your voice down, there are people next door."

"If you want to hear false flattery, don't ask me. The financial manager is here to help you make money, not your dog leg, understand?" After Jiang Fang finished speaking, he pushed a few pieces of paper to You Zhen, "Look, This is a plan for 50, and I plan to—”

"Okay, you decide." You Zhen bowed his head and signed.

Jiang Fang was speechless: "Brother You, why don't you pretend to take a look?"

"I can't understand it." You Zhenxin said broadly, "It doesn't matter if you lose about 10%."

"Sometimes it really bothers you rich people..." Jiang Fang was completely convinced by him, he put away the documents, and suddenly remembered another thing, "Oh yes, is the apartment in the east gate still rented?"

Recalling which apartment it was, You Zhen said after a while: "Let's rent it, do you have friends looking at the apartment?"

"It's impossible to talk about people you just know."

You Zhen said: "Then I will send you the agent's phone number."

Jiang Fang didn't respond, and asked him tentatively: "How about... I'll take him to see it, and if you can settle it, you can pay me the agency fee directly? A discount, and you can pay it, how about it?"

"No problem." You Zhen agreed without hesitation, and finally found something wrong with the friend opposite today, "Why, you plan to change your job as a real estate agency, and test the waters with me?"

"...you will know when you have children."

"I don't have such an idea for the time being." You Zhen practiced Tai Chi and asked again, "What should you do if you are making trouble at work now?"

When a certain name was mentioned, the social animal who only wanted to make money before the Taishan collapse finally showed a painful expression.Jiang Fang exaggeratedly wanted to smash the desk with his whole body. Due to the public environment, he could only sigh in the end.

You Zhen wanted to laugh, and was even more puzzled: "What did you do to him?"

"Already assigned to kindergarten." Jiang Fang said ruthlessly.

"Go to kindergarten before the age of two?"

"It's almost the same as hiring a babysitter, and I'm going to go sooner or later, so hurry up and go to elementary school a year earlier." Jiang Fang's expression was distorted when he said this, "But in another month, kindergarten will be gone." It's a holiday, I guess I have to ask for an annual leave to bring the baby, if it doesn't work, I can only bring my parents..."

Hearing him complain about the gold swallowing beast, You Zhen just smiled and comforted him.

"Thank you, You Zhen." Jiang Fang finally said, "It's embarrassing to help me complete the quota every time."

"It's okay." He always answered like this.

For You Zhen, putting money in the bank to buy financial management is not the most cost-effective investment, and it is not safe, just considering that Jiang Fang is his friend for so many years after all.

Jiang Fang is different from You Zhen, his life now cannot tolerate a little misstep.

They were college classmates, when You Zhen was still in the second grade, Jiang Fang had already become a winner in life in the eyes of boys, and a lover in the eyes of girls.Jiang Fang is the first in professional grades, the head of the student union, can play the piano and the guitar, sings well, and even his girlfriend is the most beautiful school girl in the school.

Then his flourishing life came to an abrupt end at the most glorious age of 23.

In the first year of Jiang Fang's graduate school, the school girl's girlfriend broke up with him, and after disappearing for a few months, she suddenly came back and told him that she was pregnant.Jiang Fang wasn't sure if the child was his own. At that time, it would be dangerous to have an abortion when the month was old. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and was beaten by his parents. Jiang Fang decided to marry her.

So Jiang Naonao was born in the spring of the following year, but his girlfriend did not marry him as promised, but left a sum of "maintenance" and disappeared again.

The paternity test was not done in the end. Jiang Fang's decision, he said, was not lying to himself, and the child could not be completely orphaned.

You Zhen still remembers how broken Jiang Fang was during that time, and he didn't even dare to drink away his sorrows, because there was a Jiang Naonao in the family who couldn't speak but could only cry.But his mentality also changed quickly. After discussing with the school, he went directly to find a job. After entering the workplace, he transferred to Feiquan and started earning money in advance to support his family.

Jiang Fang's family is not considered wealthy, because of this matter, his parents have been in a cold war with him for a long time, and recently there are finally signs of breaking the ice.

So You Zhen looked at him and always thought, help if you can, since he is alone anyway.

But sitting here, he suddenly thought of something else, You Zhen rested his chin on one hand: "A few days ago, my mother asked you if you still plan to fall in love, and I can introduce you to a girl from Singapore who has returned to China."

Jiang Fang was taken aback: "Give it to me?"

"Ah." You Zhen said, "You have a good image with my mother."

"Thank you, auntie, but for an unmarried father like me, don't waste other people's youth." Jiang Fang laughed at himself and asked him, "Why didn't auntie introduce you first? You are alone in the country and don't date anyone. Not in a hurry for you?"

You Zhen almost blurted out a secret that has never been revealed to his friends, You Zhen endured it, and when he was about to change the topic, he felt that it might not be now, but also in the not-too-distant future.

Otherwise, if there is no one to talk to, he will only be more troubled if he is suffocated.

Why not let Jiang Fang have a mental preparation first?

You Zhen grabbed a pen on his desk, lowered his eyes and said, "I like someone a little bit recently."

The sound of typing on the keyboard stopped for half a beat.

Jiang Fang approached You Zhen incredulously, and immediately put down all the work at hand to focus on gossip: "Really? But this person... I should know him?"

"Ah?" There was a thump in my heart.

"If it was a stranger, you would definitely not tell me suddenly." Jiang Fang said with reason, "Don't decipher it first, let me guess, if you know... Recently... Ah, is it Zhai Lan?"

You Zhen's pupils shrank slightly like some kind of animal, and he didn't know whether to admire Jiang Fang's IQ for instantly finding the correct answer, or to lament that he could guess that You Zhen liked boys without any obstacles.

At a loss, You Zhen blinked his eyes: "You..."

"How do you know?" Jiang Fang smiled, "Come on, when you had dinner that day, your eyes on others were not innocent."

You Zhen: "..."

Jiang Fang was immersed in the joy of Meng's answer to the bid, whispered "fuck" a few times, and calmed down a little before saying: "Before Yang Jin said that you might not be able to do it... I didn't believe it, but that day you and Zhai The blue eyebrows are flickering, the more I think about it, the more I feel..."

"...Why." You Zhen felt a little uncomfortable, "Is it so obvious?"

Jiang Fang may be naturally optimistic, or maybe this is nothing to him.He has no other doubts about You Zhen's concealment of his sexual orientation for so long, and calmly accepts the reality.

"It can be more obvious." Jiang Fang said, "Unless you don't want to fall in love with him."

The word love, no matter when it is said, it is always gentle and with ambiguous expectations, and the fluttering ending falls, as light as it will be swept away by a breeze at any time.

But for You Zhen, it is almost equivalent to "impulse", which represents the whim of not being trusted.

There were white teeth marks on the inside of his lips, and his eyes drifted away. After a while, You Zhen said: "Actually, I can feel that he may also like me a little bit."

"Very good." Jiang Fang looked at him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

But You Zhen started to frown: "But if you don't like it very much, why don't you just say whether you love it or not? If it doesn't last long, then I won't be too much of a bother? Besides, Zhai Lan is so young..."

"Shut up, look at me." Jiang Fang stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, grasping his attention tightly, "Your buddy's love affair ended in the worst possible way, it was fragmented, and it even created such a burden as Jiang Naonao. In your eyes, I am the one who has failed the most in love life—”

"I didn't think so—"

"Listen to me!" Jiang Fang resolutely ignored You Zhen and interrupted him, "I don't regret it at all, because I won't look back every step I take."

The lights and white walls were too bright, and for a moment he couldn't tell how much Jiang Fang's words were true or false.

Jiang Fang didn't wait for any reaction from him, and continued: "The continuation of a relationship is not measured by how much you like the other party. You can't be wrong if you think it's worth it. You Zhen, if you overdraw your fear of breaking up in the future, then you will always If you can’t take this step, when you stand in a stalemate for too long, and the tacit feeling fades away, what will be left at that time?”

After pondering for a moment, You Zhen asked, "How do you know that I will regret it?"

Jiang Fang didn't answer him.

But You Zhen already fully understood.

He has neither the time nor the courage to gamble on whether there will be a second person in the future.

Because Zhai Lan is the heartbeat that he can't miss for the rest of his long life.

In the main campus of X University, Zhai Lan sat at the place closest to the wall in the classroom, sifting through the recruitment information on the tablet.

Although giving Dan Zeng a supplementary class is more like an accompanying student than a teacher, it does not prevent Zhai Lan from thinking that he can take a few more similar jobs during the summer vacation.It is almost necessary for high school students to make up mathematics. Now teachers are strictly prohibited from making up lessons outside of school. Students from key universities like them have become popular, and many students share them in their circle of friends.

Although the company that interviewed last weekend felt that his level was not bad, Zhai Lan hadn't formally said his words to death. He wanted to choose one more option, preferably one that was close to home, and more or less money was a secondary factor.

Sometimes sighing, sometimes concentrating, successfully attracted the classmate Dong Cheng who was sitting next door.

"Zhai Lan, what are you looking at?" He asked.

Zhai Lan didn't avoid anyone: "I plan to find a summer job, a coffee shop, a tutor, or McDonald's."

Usually, he didn't show any difficulties in his family. Dong Chengcai knew him for a long time, and he didn't know anything about Zhai Lan's personal situation. When he heard that he only wanted to experience life, he teased: "Are you short of money?"

"Very short." Zhai Lan said seriously, "No one has paid the tuition for the next school year."

Such a mention seems to be a big problem, Dong Cheng followed him worried: "Then what should I do?"

"Find a part-time job first."

Dong Cheng saw that he didn't look like he was just talking, so he rubbed his nose: "I know there is a job, but I don't know if you can participate now... Our college has two laboratories, and recently I am looking for undergraduates to help run it. Data, not too tired, just in school. I know a senior in there, I can push your WeChat to her."

Hearing this, Zhai Lan's eyes lit up: "Is it true?"

Dong Cheng emphasized: "But the ugly words come first, and their requirements are very high! We both can only be regarded as sophomores in name. If the professor disagrees, I can't guarantee it!"

"You push it to me first..." Zhai Lan said, a message suddenly popped up on the phone.

You Zhen: Are you coming to dinner today?

Replying "come" casually, Zhai Lan turned his head, and was planning to continue to have a deeper understanding of the laboratory with Dong Cheng, but saw a look of embarrassment flashing across the other's face.

Zhai Lan was confused: "What's wrong?"

"I'm so tired of laughing." Dong Cheng raised his chin exaggeratedly at the phone, "You ignored me when I asked you last time, girlfriend?"

"No." Zhai Lan flatly refused.

He didn't realize that he was laughing, he raised his hand to touch his face, and the muscles on his side tensed a little.

His gaze swept across the screen of the phone again, he just changed the desktop not long ago, and used the song cover of You Zhen's band, it was a cluster of golden and green ivy shining in the sun.

Zhai Lan clicked on the leaves of the ivy, and for some reason changed her mind.

"...in the future it will be."
