Leaving the past behind 2019

I don’t know if it was influenced by Li Henan’s words. Li Jiageng dreamed that when he was a child, he was not very young, probably before the college entrance examination. At that time, he just picked up Xiao Huihui, a little Huihui that hadn’t grown feathers yet. Magpie, that was his first time taking care of small animals.

In the dream, Xiao Huihui already knew him very well, and even regarded him as her mother. At home, wherever he went, Xiao Huihui would follow him there, and would chirp and look for him when he didn't see him for a while.

In the dream, Xiao Huihui was standing on the straw woven chicken coop that she stole from the old lady’s yard next door. There were two piles of bird droppings in the coop. If you don't learn, you will perish." Xiao Huihui continued with "chacha", and then recited the next sentence "Know it silently, never tire of learning..." Xiao Huihui continued with "chacha", what is this? book?Li Jiageng buckled his notebook and came to the bird's nest with his hands behind his back: "I've said it several times, I'm not allowed to bark when I'm studying. Oh, I'm pooping in the nest again, I don't have a long memory."

He made a gesture to flick the bird's forehead, and the moment he stretched out his hand, he seemed to be hit by electricity.

A great sense of fear enveloped him, he subconsciously looked to the side, the corridor of the house was dark, obviously no one was standing there.

Why be afraid?

What are you afraid of?

Li Jiageng in the dream was not clear, but after the fear was great sadness and emptiness, Xiao Huihui stood in front of him, tilted her head as if trying to please him, and called out one after another: "Chacha! Chacha——"

"Don't, stop, stop--" He waved at the bird, but what was the use?No matter how human it is, it's just a gray magpie with no hair. When it sees someone it likes, it will bark twice, not only barking, but also jumping on the spot.

"Don't, don't—Xiao Huihui—"

"Jiageng? Jiageng—wake up! You are dreaming!"

The waving hand was held, Li Jiageng opened his eyes panting heavily, unable to wake up from the mourning in the dream for a long time, Li Henan looked at him with concern: "You are dreaming." With wet tears on her cheeks, "What did you dream about?"

"I..." Li Jiageng gradually came back to his senses, "It's nothing, it happened when I was a child."

He didn't want to say it, and Li Henan didn't ask, but he clearly heard Li Jiageng in the nightmare calling Xiao Huihui repeatedly.

Sure enough, as soon as the bed was soft, Li Jiageng got off the ground and ran towards the living room.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, the sky was already bright, and the birds were like the sunrise. Their little lulu had already woken up, and they were stretching their wings against the huge rising sun.

Hearing a voice similar to that in the dream, Li Jiageng's heart lifted and then let go.

He stretched out his hand and hugged Lulu into his arms, the soft and frail little thing rubbed against his chin with its warm fur, and its small apricot-yellow mouth unconsciously half-opened.

"I will definitely protect you this time..." he whispered.

…………

It’s Friday in a blink of an eye, and the banquet hall is decorated with both elegance and vulgarity. There is a row of semi-finished products in front of the dining table... er no, love home-cooked dishes, and the ones hidden under the silver arched pot lids in the back row are authentic ones from the chef. Li Jiageng stood next to the second row of high-end cuisine, holding the dishes and lifting the lids one by one until Xiaoyan came over and hummed hard at him.

"Oh mom! What are you doing?!"

Seeing Xiaoyan's dress, Li Jiageng was taken aback, and immediately covered his chest: "Don't get me wrong, I like men—"

Xiaoyan gave him a white look, and brushed her hair: "You eat shit! I'm not interested in you either."

She deliberately dressed up today, no longer the usual super fat T-shirt and sandals with shorts, but a silk low-cut dress that highlights her figure.

If she didn't come to Lieyan to dress up like this, she would have gone to hell.

Except for Mr. Zhou, everyone in the company has arrived. Except for the administrative gang, most of the design department has good taste. In this informal occasion, everyone reveals their usual taste. Xiao He in the first group didn't wear his thick cup-bottomed glasses, but put on invisible glasses.

Li Jiageng lowered his voice and looked around: "Come and tell me quietly, the name of that lucky one—"

"Cough." Xiaoyan wrinkled her pretty face with concealer, foundation and blush unnaturally, approached Li Jiageng hesitantly, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Mr. Zhou invited friends today. Think about it, Mr. Zhou's friends, They must all be talented..."

Li Jiageng looked at Xiaoyan like a fool: "Isn't it you? What do you think is the probability that a gay personal friend is not gay?"

Xiaoyan obviously didn't think of this, and said slowly: "Then, then... Maybe there are one or two straight men?"

Li Jiageng turned around and continued to scoop up his creamy matsutake soup: "Well, then you can just pray, maybe there are indeed one or two straight men who are handsome, single, and rich..."

"...It seems to be more difficult than winning 500 million yuan." Xiaoyan suddenly felt that life was boring, raised her hand to roll up her long hair, picked up a plate, and gave up on herself: "I haven't eaten since last night just to wear this dress." What is it for?!"

The two of them hid in an unnoticed corner and were eating their mouths full of oil. They only heard a noise coming from the front hall, and looked at the empty space where the colleagues who had been chatting in twos and threes were gone.

Xiaoyan asked: "Shall we go over and have a look?"

Li Jiageng shook his head violently: "I want to go with you, I'm too lazy to join in the fun."

Xiaoyan: "What's on your plate? Is it delicious?"

Li Kah Kee: "It's delicious, crab roe rice cake!"

Xiaoyan: "Give me some!"

Li Kageng dialed Xiaoyan and asked, "You don't want to pass? What if you win 500 million?"

"Forget it, I don't have that life."

The phones of the two rang twice, one after the other, and Li Jiageng glanced at it in the midst of his busy schedule, and his face instantly turned white: "No, Sister Ling is angry! It is said that everyone in the company has gone to the front hall, and we are the only ones left. Said to deduct our performance!"

"Ah?!" Xiaoyan hurriedly put down the plate, "Let's go there quickly!"

"Wait!" Li Jiageng grabbed Xiaoyan's hand and pointed to the corner of his mouth: "crab roe!"

Xiaoyan quickly took out two paper towels to wipe off: "Are you ready?"

"All the lipstick color has been eaten, leaving only a circle of lip line, which looks weird."

"You go help me and talk to Sister Ling first, just say that I have diarrhea~~ I'll fix my lipstick and come!"

Fortunately, every pillar in the dining room is bright, and Xiaoyan quickly ran behind a pillar.

Li Jiageng shook his head, and ran to the front hall first.

…………

Mr. Zhou, as today's protagonist, is surrounded by stars. This dinner is not a surprise for him. He is obviously well prepared. You can see the clue by looking at his custom-made peacock blue three-piece suit. , but there was another person on the scene who was more dazzling than him. If Zhou was always the moon tonight, then the brilliance emitted by this person was enough to make the moonlight pale.

Li Jiageng also noticed that the reason why this place is so lively is that besides a few friends of Mr. Zhou and people from Fireworks Vision, there are also a few reporters carrying long guns and short cannons. The sound of clicking the shutter is itself noisy. The background sound, the protagonist of the camera is obviously that person.

That man was half a head taller than Zhou Tianming, dressed in black formal attire, with a serious expression and a unique demeanor. Li Jiageng thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Could it be a new starlet who debuted?

Hey, it turns out that Zhou Tianming also likes to play this game.

But judging by the way this person looks, he doesn't want to be clinging... And is it really okay to be so high-profile when attending this kind of occasion?

"What's the matter with you and Xiaoyan? You two are the only ones missing!" Sister Ling appeared behind him in a white suit and skirt.

"Wow, Sister Ling is so beautiful today!" Li Kah Kee followed suit.

"Come on this!"

Li Jiageng said seriously: "Xiaoyan has a stomachache, I went to find paper for her."

"Believe in you and you're a ghost."

"Hey, sister Ling, who is that? Why did you recruit reporters?"

"Zheng Qilong." Sister Ling answered quite naturally, seeing Li Jiageng's complete lack of response, she was surprised and said, "You haven't heard of it, have you?"

"A star? These star shots vary a lot..."

"It's Mr. Zheng Qilong, the sole heir of Zheng Da Pictures."

Li Jiageng thought of it this way: "Ah! That Zheng Qilong who was always having an affair with a female star, married Bai Zhuo last year, and went to the cinema of Zhengda Pictures for free on the wedding day?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Sister Ling lowered her voice cautiously in the next second, and pulled him aside: "The latest news, he has already left, and there is no official announcement yet."

Li Kageng: "Wow! How did Mr. Zhou know him?"

It seems that Sister Ling did not follow Zhang Luo in vain this day, and found out a lot of gossip: "I heard that Mr. Zhou met when I was studying in Paris, and the relationship between the two is very good!"

Li Kageng looked at the tall man standing in the crowd with a handsome face no less than any popular niche, and murmured: "Xiaoyan, you really missed 500 million, no, it was [-] million."
