lack of love

When Zhong Qiran learned of Yan's mother's plan from Yan Hao, he was not as angry as he imagined, but only helpless.Sure enough, when people are disappointed to a certain extent, they will not have any thoughts.But even if he knew, he still didn't know what to do with Yan's mother.

He couldn't let Yan Hao come forward, not because he was worried about whether Yan Hao would make things difficult, but because it would only make him more guilty of "instigating his son to contradict his mother"; He can't be involved, especially the medical field is a very sensitive field, as long as there is any gossip or a bad comment, Lian Siqiao may lose his reputation and job.

In the final analysis, he and Yan's mother were the only ones who had a knot in their hearts, and the obstruction and persuasion of others were undoubtedly just adding fuel to the flames.He doesn't intend to give in, but he doesn't need to win either. How can he not reach a consensus on peaceful coexistence without losing both sides.He believed there could be a better way.

Zhong Qiran couldn't find a chance for the time being, and he was not in a hurry.He wanted to call Lian Siqiao to thank him, but he didn't get through after dialing out, but unexpectedly received a call from Li Qi.

After Li Qi returned to China, he developed in different cities with him. Although the distance is not far, it still takes several hours to go back and forth.

This time Li Qi happened to be here on a business trip, so he remembered to have a meal with Zhong Qiran.They had made an appointment to meet when they had time before graduation, so Zhong Qiran didn't refuse.

Zhong Qiran didn't think of talking to Yan Hao until after hanging up the phone, but he didn't know what Yan Hao would think.

Yan Hao asked: "Just the two of you?"

"Correct."

Yan Hao especially emphasized this word, "Alone?"

Zhong Qiran smiled, "Li Qi is here on a business trip, we just met for lunch at noon."

Yan Hao deliberately asked: "Can't I be together?"

"Are you sure I can still have a good meal after you meet?" Zhong Qiran wanted to tease him because of this rare opportunity, "Yan Hao, I think you are jealous when you are like this."

Yan Hao was not overwhelmed by this question at all, but admitted generously: "I'm jealous. So is there any compensation?"

Zhong Qiran didn't expect Yan Hao to make a request, he was taken aback for a moment, "You also had dinner with Lian Siqiao last time."

"Didn't you say you don't care?" Yan Hao said as a matter of course: "But I care, so it's normal to ask for compensation. Or you can also consider taking me with you."

For a moment, Zhong Qiran was seriously thinking about whether having a meal with Li Qi was worth such a sacrifice.But he immediately realized that he was just being led by the nose by Yan Hao, "Don't play tricks, don't act like a child."

Yan Hao, who was said to be like a child, said, "I'm working for my own welfare."

Zhong Qi didn't know how to continue the conversation with him.

On the appointed day, Zhong Qiran and Li Qi made an appointment to meet at a restaurant.There are business districts around here, and there are many people at noon, so they can only squeeze into a small table to eat.

When they were interns in country M, they would occasionally huddle together at a small table to give reports, but now they felt a little nostalgic, and the gap between them that hadn't seen each other for a long time faded away.

Li Qi usually dresses casually, but because of a business trip, he wears a formal suit.Although he doesn't have Yan Hao's imposing manner, he does look good and is very energetic, the type that high school girls would like.

Seeing Zhong Qiran staring at him, Li Qi deliberately showed a naughty smile and said, "Why, do you regret not choosing me?"

Zhong Qiran joked: "You'd better not talk, it will damage the image once you speak."

Li Qi didn't take it seriously, "I am like this."

It's very easy to get along with Li Qi, and you don't have to worry too much when you have something to say.He has the maturity of an adult man, but he is not serious, he is very casual, and sometimes he has a child's heart, which is easy to make people feel good about.The most important thing is that after Li Qi graduated and returned to China, he was valued by the company, and his salary doubled. Many headhunting companies approached him, and he was close to being a winner in life.

Such a person should have the most companionship.But after the two chatted for a while, Zhong Qiran realized that he was still single.

"I've been too busy recently, so I don't have that thought for now." Li Qi smiled wryly, and immediately changed the subject, "What about you? How are you and Yan Hao?"

Zhong Qiran could tell that Li Qi didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't mention it.Li Qi used to be the object of Zhong Qiran's complaints in a foreign land. Until now, this habit seems to have not changed, but the content of complaints has changed to heart-to-heart talk.And Li Qi was one of the few people who knew about the reunion of the two and kept his mouth shut.If he had known Li Qi earlier or later, he might not have trusted him so much.Sometimes it just needs a coincidental timing to reveal the inner secret to others, so Zhong Qiran cherishes this fate very much.

After the two talked for a while, Zhong Qiran temporarily left to go to the bathroom.His mobile phone was placed on the table. It just so happened that someone called in at this time, and the caller ID was Lian Siqiao.

But Li Qi just glanced at it inadvertently, and couldn't take his eyes off the name.

There are many people with the same name and surname, but even this surname is too rare, so it is impossible for him to misunderstand that they are different people.

While Li Qi was still in a daze, Zhong Qiran had already walked back and answered the call in good time.

Li Qi heard what Zhong Qiran said, and when he hung up the phone, he pretended to ask unintentionally: "Is there anything else to do later?"

Zhong Qiran felt that there was no need to hide anything, and said, "Yes, I want to meet with Yan Hao's psychological counselor. Your time should be almost the same, right?"

"En." Li Qi replied, but his mind was not on the conversation at all.

Zhong Qiran was still thinking about what he was going to talk about when we met later, and he didn't notice Li Qi's abnormality, "You should stay here for a few more days, and then make an appointment when you have time."

"it is good."

Li Qi watched Zhong Qiran walk out of the restaurant, hesitated for a few seconds, and walked out anyway, following behind Zhong Qiran.

He really has something to do later, and he has an important job to discuss.But now, he didn't want to think so much.He wanted to know what kind of expression this ex-boyfriend, who had been out of touch for a long time and avoided meeting, would show when he saw him.

Zhong Qiran and Lian Siqiao actually met at a nearby coffee shop, which can be reached on foot.At that time, he originally wanted to thank the other party directly on the phone, but later he felt that it would be better to say it in person. Besides, he still had something to say, so he just made an appointment to meet.

When Zhong Qiran arrived, Lian Siqiao had already arrived.The latter was sitting by the window, typing on his mobile phone, as if sending a message.

They greeted each other when they met.Zhong Qiran went directly to the topic, "Actually, you don't have to do this at all. It's very risky for you, but thank you anyway."

Lian Siqiao understood that he was talking about Yan Hao, and also knew what he wanted to say when he asked her out, "It doesn't matter, I just can't see it. Even if I rejected Mrs. Yan at that time, it was still offending her. It's okay the difference."

Zhong Qiran has experienced Yan's mother's temper.If she knew that she had been tricked, she might not let Lian Siqiao go easily, "I dare not say how much I can help you, but if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come to me."

Lian Siqiao shook her head with a smile, "You don't worry about yourself first, but you worry about me."

"Anyway, that's the worst."

"Zhong Qiran, blind tolerance will not make things better, it will only make things worse. You should be the one who understands this best. I won't stop you from looking for a way to get the best of both worlds, but don't take human nature It's too good to think about. Even so, are you still not going to give up?"

"After I decided to get back together with Yan Hao, I didn't plan to escape any more. If I gave up, wouldn't it be the same as admitting defeat to her? I don't like it."

Lian Siqiao smiled helplessly, "I knew you would say that. That's why I went to the appointment today."

Zhong Qiran looked at him suspiciously.

"You want to show your cards, but you can't find a chance, and you don't want to drag me into the water, do you?" Lian Siqiao stared at Zhong Qiran, and motioned him to move forward, "I'll tell you the simplest way."

Zhong Qiran leaned forward a little as he said.

Lian Siqiao said in a low voice: "Before I came here, I informed Mrs. Yan that you will come to negotiate with me."

Before Zhong Qiran had time to think about the meaning of this sentence, Lian Siqiao stood up suddenly, splashed the water in the cup on him, and gave Zhong Qiran another slap.

Zhong Qiran covered his face and stared at him blankly.

Lian Siqiao deliberately increased the volume and said: "Zhong Qiran, give up, Yan Hao is mine."

And Li Qi, who was peeking outside, also saw this scene, without thinking about it, he rushed into the coffee shop and grabbed Lian Siqiao's hand.

When Lian Siqiao saw Li Qi, his expression instantly became a little ugly, "You..."

Li Qi didn't say anything, and directly pulled Lian Siqiao away in front of Zhong Qiran.
