You are my proper foothold

On the way back, Hui Xiaoyou was staggering all the time, Jiang Xin wrapped her arms around his waist with one hand, and hung his arm around her neck with the other to prevent him from slipping down.

When passing by an overpass, Hui Xiaoyou who had been silent for a while suddenly pulled Jiang Xin and said, "Stop here for a while, sober up here before going back."

Seeing that his drunken eyes were full of stubbornness, Jiang Xin nodded and agreed.

Hui Xiaoyou leaned on the railing and looked down at the busy traffic under the overpass.

Jiang Xin took off her coat and put it on him, Hui Yue shook her body and said, "I'm not cold, put it on quickly."

Jiang Xin didn't listen to him, she put her hand on his shoulder and said, "I just had a drink, don't catch a cold."

"It's really unnecessary..." Hui Xiaoyou struggled a few times before losing his energy, and then limply lay back on his stomach.

Jiang Xin half-supported him from behind, stood for a while and asked, "Why do you drink so much?"

"Why, Chagang, do you still need me to report?" Hui Xiaoyou's face burned again when he thought about what the group of people said about him and Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin only thought that his blushing was due to drinking too much alcohol, and taking advantage of Hui Xiaoyou's not sober at the moment, she half-jokingly and half-seriously said: "Senior Brother, I'm getting old, and I can't stand it like I was when I was young." Toss. You have to take good care of your body, otherwise no girl will marry you in the future, so you can only marry someone."

Hui Xiao immediately turned around when he heard it: "Do you want to die?"

Jiang Xin looked into his eyes, with three parts fake and seven parts truth in his eyes, and said: "I am willing to marry you."

Hui Xiao was taken aback for a moment, almost choking in his throat, he coughed several times before turning his head and whispering: "Hehehe... This joke is too cold."

Jiang Xin smiled and didn't answer, she put one arm around his waist, turned around and stood with her back against the railing, while Hui Xiaoyou continued to watch his busy traffic.

Some jokes can't be played all the time, just take it seriously when you keep it open.

Hui Xiaoyou looked down for a while and buried his head in the crook of his arms. The effect of the alcohol gradually subsided, and the restless heat on his body gradually calmed down. Standing here wearing two overcoats, he felt faintly cold.

Jiang Xin noticed this immediately.

He saw Hui Xiaoyou's arms retracted slightly, so he wrapped his coat tightly around him and asked, "Shall we go back?"

"Yeah." Hui Xiaoyou turned around and prepared to leave, but Jiang Xin, who was standing in front of him, turned her body to one side, bent her waist and stretched her hands behind her head to wrap around his buttocks, and then directly carried him on her back again.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Hui Xiaoyou was frightened, his clothes almost fell off, "Put me down!"

"You can't walk anymore, I'll carry you back." Jiang Xin's tone was unquestionable, he pushed Hui Xiaoyou up with one hand, and at this moment he could feel that he was so thin that he didn't have much weight left. The ribs of winter clothes hurt his back, and his heart hurts even more.

Sensing that Hui Xiaoyou was still trying to struggle, Jiang Xin stretched out her other hand and pressed his head on his head, and pressed his head on her shoulder, half-coaxing and half-persuading him, "Senior brother, be good!" Don't move around at all, hold on to me, so we can go back sooner."

"..." Is Hui Xiaoyou very convinced, but he really can't exert much strength on his body, his hands, feet and neck are so soft that it seems that someone has given "Shixiangruanjinsan", and the little sobriety left tells him that at this moment Repacking is not a wise decision.

In the end Hui Xiaoyou compromised, buried his head in Jiang Xin's neck and panted lightly.

Now Jiang Xin can stride forward with confidence, his steps are extremely steady, and he can't bump the person on him at all.

However, after walking for a while, he suddenly asked softly, "Brother, are you in a bad mood today?"

Hui Xiaoyou snorted and didn't answer him.

Jiang Xin waited, then said, "It's okay, I'm here."

The burden on the neck suddenly increased.

Jiang Xin felt that Hui Xiaoyou hugged her tightly, and wanted to turn to look at him, but Hui Xiaoyou's forehead was firmly pressed against his neck, making him unable to turn his head.

Jiang Xin couldn't help but stopped and stood there for a while, hearing that there was no other movement behind him, and then he started to walk again.

The force exerted on the neck has never been relieved.

Originally... I deliberately left it behind.

I didn't expect to recall it uncontrollably after drinking.

Hui Xiaoyou closed his eyes, and the message he received from his father this morning appeared in his mind again.

After he told his dad about his return to China the day he just came back, his dad didn't take the time to reply him until today.

But the content of the reply is: "Your younger brother is going to take the college entrance examination this year. If you have time, you can help him with his homework."

What seems to be related to him actually has nothing to do with him.

I didn't ask him where he lived, what he did, whether he ate well, whether his life was comfortable or not, and he didn't even care which city he was in at the moment. As the only thing his father said to him, he asked him to help his half-brother with his homework.

Hui Yue thought that he had already gotten used to it these years.

But in fact, loved ones always have the ability to make your heart clear again and again.

Thinking about it, Hui Xiaoyou became uncontrollably uncomfortable again, Hui Xiaoyou pressed his eyes tightly against the skin of Jiang Xin's neck, it was so warm and reassuring, he felt that he would feel better when he hugged him tightly .

Jiang Xin walked faster and faster.

From the first slight wetness on his neck, his heart stopped suddenly, and then it beat faster.

As the moist touch became more and more obvious, Jiang Xin felt her heart almost jumping into her throat, bang, bang, bang, bang, hitting his throat dry and sore.

He knew that Hui Xiaoyou was not crying because of him, but he still couldn't bear to make him feel so sad when he was by his side.

When Jiang Xin finally returned home with Hui Yue on her back, her heart was still beating wildly.

At this moment, Ziyou has already fallen asleep on top of him.

Jiang Xin has the spare key of Hui Yue's room in his hand, which he only kept after Yue Xiaoyou's approval, in order to prevent Hui Xiaoyou from losing everything, and also in order for him to come in and look for him in case of any emergencies in the future.

Now Jiang Xin carefully opened the door, walked into the bedroom in the dark, and carefully placed Hui Xiaoyou on the bed, then turned on the bedside lamp.

Because he was worried that the light would wake him up if the light was too bright, Jiang Xin didn't dare to turn on the headlights. He used the dim light of the desk lamp to walk softly through the room, took off Hui Xiaoyou's clothes, and took water to wash him briefly. After a while, finally listen to whether his breathing is stable, and after confirming that he is still sleeping soundly, he turns off the desk lamp, and sits quietly in the dark by himself, reluctant to leave for a while.

What could make him cry?

Jiang Xin thought about it carefully, and occasionally had some clues, but she couldn't guess the details when she thought about it further.

He thought that he knew Hui Xiaoyou enough, but he didn't expect that it was far from enough.

I still need to get to know him better.Jiang Xin said to herself.

He stared at the person huddled up on the bed, and said to him in his heart: I want to know all the things that make you worry, afraid and sad, so that I can be by your side better.

In the future, I don't want to make you sad again.

***

Hui Xiaoyou was able to be hired as an associate professor of the Economic Research Center by the University of G this time when he returned to China. It had a lot to do with the few articles he published in first-class journals when he was a doctoral student.

Given his age and qualifications, the number of published articles like this can be said to be very rare in the academic circles across the country. At the world level, Yan Xiaoyou dare not take big, but he is good enough.

At the beginning, he graduated from the best economics and management department of G University. He entered the world's leading business school for his doctorate. During his studies, he also completed a master's degree in applied mathematics. Hiring him back also hopes that he can do some quantitative analysis and forecasting on the current domestic financial market.

To put it bluntly, the center is a place similar to a national economic policy "think tank". Compared with its most fundamental function, Hui Xiaoyou's teaching undergraduates is more like a "side job".

The subject he wants to teach is the "Quantitative Finance" course in the double degree of undergraduate economics.

The formal teaching will start in the next semester, and Hui Xiaoyou will return to China just in time for the winter vacation, so there are not many things to do. Most of the teachers and students in the school have gone home for the holiday, so he will go to the school to watch it on weekdays. Read textbooks and literature to prepare for the next work.

As for Jiang Xin, Hui Xiaoyou also heard that he was working in the Charles Schwab Private Fund founded by Chen Jiashu, but he thought Jiang Xin was the highest investment manager, but he didn't expect to know that Jiang Xin was young after hearing Chen Jiashu's talk that day Light is already a fund manager in his own right.

Hui Xiaoyou's eyes widened when he heard that, and he asked incredulously, "Being a fund manager at the age of 26, are you kidding me?"

Chen Jiashu's answer left him speechless: "You can be an associate professor at the age of 26, why can't someone be a fund manager at the age of 26?"

Although he reluctantly accepted this setting in his heart, Hui Xiaoyou still couldn't help but ask one more question: "No matter how powerful he is, but at such a young age, the corresponding experience must be much less. You can rest assured that you can hand over tens of millions of dollars in business." Work for him?"

Chen Jiashu spread out his hands, put his arms around Yan Xiaoyou again and said earnestly, "Xiaoyou, my principle is to doubt people and not to hire people. If I can't trust Jiang Xin, then I wouldn't recruit him into the company in the first place. Besides, Well, you know the current private equity market in China. It’s not long since it started, and there are not many people who really know how to do it and understand how it works. Everyone has only a half-knowledge and is crossing the river by feeling the stones. Can you make this matter bigger? The key to doing it well depends on whether you have insight into the market and execution ability that is not easily influenced by various information. I don’t doubt Jiang Xin’s professional level, and I can trust her character. A junior high school student, he has a steady temper and good vision, I think he can do this."

"You think highly of him." Hui Xiaoyou couldn't tell whether it was pride or worry, he paused and said, "But you are right, private equity in China has just started, and before I came back, I heard that some companies I want to do hedging in the name of financial consulting, but there are no suitable opportunities in the domestic market. Seeing that these capital operation models can make a lot of money abroad, many people will definitely want to try. Next, the market on our side will become It's more complicated, there are more products, and there will be more troubles. Jiang Xin's words..."

"What are you afraid of?" Chen Jiashu looked at him meaningfully and smiled. "When the market is complicated, the supervision will be stricter. We don't do things that disrupt the order of the market. You don't have to think too much about it. I said buddy, you really should Look at what you are like now, you have said so much about the country and the people and thought you were worrying about the development of the financial industry in the motherland, but you have been worrying for a long time because you are worrying about your younger brother?"

"Who said I was worried about him?" Hui Xiaoyou suddenly raised his head.

Chen Jiashu continued meaningfully: "Don't worry, it just so happens that we are going to invite someone from your center to be an investment consultant, why don't you come? This way, we can give advice to Jiangxin for you."

"I think you are like this now so I really want to beat you up." Hui Xiaoyou stared at him and said seriously.

Chen Jiashu immediately sat a little far away from him, and smiled flatteringly: "Don't, I'm telling you something serious, think about it. Even if it's not for Jiang Xin, it can be for me."

Hui Yue glared at him fiercely.

But after a while, he still sighed slightly: "Let me think about it."

Chen Jiashu nodded several times happily.

Hui Yue was still thinking about what he said just now.He wasn't so self-righteous that he really regarded himself as a person who could give advice to others, but he couldn't let go of Jiang Xin, maybe because he was his direct junior brother, he always seemed to have a sense of responsibility towards Jiang Xin that he couldn't shirk. , hoping that he will do better, but also afraid that he will not be able to bear too much responsibility for the time being.

After entanglement, Hui Xiaoyou couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing: "I'm just a worrying life..."

"Let's go, old lady Yan, let's eat!" After Chen Jiashu finished speaking, he was already five paces away, and Hui Xiaoyou looked at him like a preschooler.

Chen Jiashu: "...Hey, what do you want to eat, I'll treat you!"

Hui Yue: "Eat the bark."

Chen Jiashu: "...Don't mention it! That thing is stuffy—"
