suddenly tired

Ji Sumian inevitably thought of another little story. There was a man in Cairo who was originally rich, but later dispersed all his wealth and had to work hard to make ends meet. One day he had a dream, and someone told him, your wealth is in Persia, go to Look there.Using this as an oracle, he really went to Persia, went through hardships, and settled in a temple, but was robbed by a group of bandits. He was arrested by the police who heard the news as an accomplice. During the interrogation, the police asked him Where did he come from? He said he came from Cairo, and why he came here. He said that he had a dream in which someone told him that there was wealth that belonged to him here.The police laughed and said that he also had a dream. The person in the dream told him that there was a fig tree planted in a courtyard in Cairo, and there was a small fountain under the tree, and his wealth was hidden under it. It's not that foolish to believe it's true.The people of Cairo returned home, dug up the fountain in the courtyard of their home, and found their fortune.

This is a fantasy about two people dreaming, but Ji Sumian felt at this time that wealth often comes from such evil ways.He didn't know how to accept it, and even felt a little resentful, "Why did you go so early!" He thought, "If you came earlier, my mother would not have died."

Zhong Lei's mood was a little hard to describe. From the first moment he found out that he had feelings for Ji Sumian, he began to imagine how he would leave him.Maybe Su Wanyi returned home from illness, and Ji Sumian had to take care of his mother, or maybe he went back to school again, or even imagined that Ji Yifeng was framed by a design, and when he was released from prison, his family was reunited. Ji Sumian was still the one who never suffered. My young master... But at this time, he deeply realized that people are not as good as heaven, and if Ji Sumian chooses to go to Australia, it will be a result beyond his imagination.His thoughts were confused, thinking of those legends, the story of a samurai meeting a prince in distress and protecting him until he defeated the villain to inherit the throne. The story usually ends here. What will happen after that?The fatal pessimism in Zhong Lei's mind has once again gained the upper hand, and he has begun to build himself up psychologically: if you don't pin your hopes on anyone, you won't be disappointed, and you won't be able to talk about being abandoned.

They were silent for a long time, each had their own thoughts, and Chen Jialan didn't urge her. Finally, he said, "Mr. Ji, please think about it first. I've been here all this time. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

Ji Sumian thanked him and left without a word.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for too long, Zhong Lei was a little abnormal, so he purposely teased him while driving, "It turns out that you are not a troubled second-generation official, you are a rich third-generation, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Ji Sumian turned to look at him and forced a wry smile.

"Isn't it funny? Oh, my wife is so hard to coax."

Ji Sumian asked: "Brother Lei, are we rich?"

"I'm still the same, you are indeed different."

"What you, mine, us!"

"Oh, okay, us. So what do you plan to do?"

"I... don't know. I'm even a little reluctant. I always feel that Mr. Chen's visit has disturbed my normal life."

"Don't worry, think again."

When Ji Sumian came home, he sat at the dining table and read the thick document. Zhong Lei kneaded sushi next to him, and stuffed one into his mouth. Anyway, he didn't know how to eat, so he just had to feed himself.

Ji Sumian, who was flipping through the will while eating, suddenly stopped: "Brother Lei, I have a little aunt!"

"what?!"

"It says that her name is Su Wanyu, and she lives in a nursing home in Wan Chai. There is a trust fund to guarantee her living and treatment expenses."

"You didn't know that before?"

"I don't know, my mother only said that she had a brother who died very early, and she didn't mention anything else, maybe my father knew—"

Speaking of this, they realized at the same time that Ji Yifeng should be notified of such a big matter.

After his mother passed away, Ji Sumian had a quarrel with himself, and the monthly routine calls before were gone. The father and son didn't know whether they were in a stalemate or avoiding each other.

"You, do you want to call your dad?"

"Does it have anything to do with him?"

"Theoretically not, you can make your own decisions, but politely, you still need to tell him, no matter what choice you make."

"Brother Lei, if I sell all those shares, can we continue to live our previous lives?"

There was a moment of ecstasy in Zhong Lei's heart, why can't it be done, what can't be done, it's simply too good!But he didn't say anything, just smiled.

There are always a few fateful moments in a person's life, and every fork in the road leads to a completely different ending. Zhong Lei can't help him make a decision, and of course he can't be the person who influences his decision.

"Have you ever considered a third possibility?"

"what?"

"First find a professional manager to help you temporarily manage the company, and then go back to the United States to finish reading."

Ji Sumian froze for a moment, and then smiled sincerely: "Then will you go with me?"

"Me? What am I going to do? Cook for you?"

The smile disappeared in an instant like fireworks.Ji Sumian got up and left.

"Hey--"

Zhong Lei understands his anger. After all, no couple is willing to separate the two places, but he can't find any reason to go with him. He doesn't want to be the one who depends on others.Just as he was thinking, a WeChat message popped up on his phone.

Aiden711: Zhong Lei, I don’t want to quarrel with you, but you remember, it’s impossible for me to go to America by myself!Even if I never study again in this life, I will never let you go!Whether it's the United States or Australia, I won't go if you don't go, don't let me go alone, it's impossible!

Heh, "Zhong Lei", even the brother stopped calling, it seems that he is really angry.Went to the room to look for him, the door was also locked, Zhong Lei laughed and knocked on the door: "Hey, I see, can you open the door first?"

Aiden711: No!Are angry!

"Oh, stop making trouble, I know I was wrong, you open the door, and I formally apologize to you."

Aiden711: No, I won't talk to you 15 minutes from now.

"Okay, then you stay by yourself for a while."

Ji Sumian couldn't be angry for too long, how could he really be angry with Zhong Lei, he just chose to put it in front of his eyes, he didn't know where to go, that person looked like he wanted to push him away, could he really Don't think about how to continue the love between two people, or...

"Brother Lei, you didn't include me in the future you planned, or didn't you include yourself in the future you planned for me?" After 15 minutes, he opened the door and asked.

"How can it be so serious!" Zhong Lei grabbed his hand and pulled the awkward man at the door into his arms, "Isn't it just two years? Don't you believe that I can wait for you?"

"Two years later, you also said, find someone to help me 'temporarily' manage the company, and I still want to go to Australia after graduation?"

Zhong Lei pondered for a moment: "Su Mian, is there anything you want to do in particular? If you don't consider the economic conditions and actual situation, what did you want to do after graduation?"

"before?"

For Ji Sumian, the "before" has not been long, but it already feels like a matter of the previous life. His fate has changed so fast that he almost doubts whether his "before" really existed.

"Take the LSAT, apply to law school, and major in economics as an undergraduate, and probably apply for a major in business or taxation, and then stay in the United States or come back."

"What about now, what do you want to do now, and do you want to continue studying law?"

"I..." Ji Sumian was speechless for a moment, "It wasn't what I wanted to learn before, but my parents thought it was a good way, and I...Brother Lei, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I have been pushed forward by the reality since I was in high school, every step is not chosen by myself, every step is passive, what should I do?"

"Now there is an opportunity for you to choose for yourself. Think about it, you can choose any major you want to study. By the way, when you were working in Denwei, did you find out what you are good at?"

"Jenwei's work? I didn't find that I was not good at anything."

"Hey!" Zhong Lei was amused by him, "My wife is amazing!"

"Oh no, I'm serious. I didn't encounter any difficult things. Maybe they all treated me very well, or my ability is limited and they won't arrange too difficult jobs for me."

"Although I don't know the market value of those shares, it is a big industry after all. The money you get from selling it is enough for you to live comfortably. You can also choose to live this kind of life. But I am always a little unwilling, you I just turned 21, isn't it a little early to retire now?"

"Brother Lei, how do you want me to choose?"

"I hope you will look back five years, or ten years, and see what kind of person you want to become."

Ji Sumian took a long vacation and went to the Provincial No. [-] Prison on a weekend afternoon. After two years, he finally walked into the reception room.Ji Yifeng looked fatter than before, but he was not in good spirits, and his complexion was gloomy. Ji Sumian wanted to cry, but he held back.The meeting was not long, and he could only briefly talk about the situation of his grandfather's inheritance. Ji Yifeng and Zhong Lei had the same opinion, hoping that he would choose carefully. In the end, he said: "Don't think about me, don't think about others, just think about it." For yourself, only if you have the ability and conditions, can you create opportunities for others, do you understand?"

"Create opportunities for others? What do you mean?"

"Zhong Lei." Ji Yifeng said, "If you want him, you have to give him a reason to go with you."

"Dad! You know him?"

Ji Yifeng smiled: "He and I are already quite familiar. Go back and think about it carefully. You have to know what he wants, give it to him if you have the conditions, and work hard to achieve it if you don't have the conditions."

The doubts and shock in Ji Sumian's heart have not yet subsided, but he has not forgotten another purpose of this trip.

"Does mom have a younger sister?"

"Well, Wanyu is much younger than Wanyi, and they have a very good relationship. She was the one who helped your mother escape from home, but shortly after that, she suffered from mental problems. Although it is likely to be hereditary, mother always I feel that I owe her, and I have been very unhappy. If there is a chance, I can visit her for your mother."

When Ji Sumian was meeting, Zhong Lei was waiting outside the high wall. He was bored and called Lao Fang.

"Do you think, if he goes to study and I wait for him here, will it lead to a bad ending?"

Lao Fang was always straightforward: "Driving a taxi here to wait for him? Why are you waiting for him? Pick up the plane?"

"Otherwise, what can I do, go to study with me? Do you really think of me as his father?"

"I don't think you can't do anything if you go to another country and let him support you. You also went to college seriously. Why, you can't live if you go out of the country?"

Zhong Lei didn't argue with him anymore, just said "Think about it again", Lao Fang didn't hang up the phone, and sighed softly: "I said before that you don't want to make progress, don't take it to heart when you say it, but you It really can't be nothing more than that, I believe you won't, and you won't be reconciled."

Are you not reconciled?Of course, driving a taxi is his escape behavior. He is not willing to do this job because he likes it. Who would like to sit there for more than ten hours a day and deal with all kinds of difficult passengers? He chooses this job just because it is simple. , without thinking.

It’s not right to say that you don’t need to think. He has a lot of time to think about it. He thought about it when he was waiting for a red light, when he was stuck in traffic, and when he was passing through the long undersea tunnel. On the way he took Ji Sumian home, I have been thinking about what I want to do, be a cook?It's just a hobby, and this profession has been neglected for a long time... His thoughts continued until midnight.

He dreamed that Ji Sumian had already left, and he was reluctant to come back to him, but the process of coming back was especially difficult.He sailed alone across the ocean. The wind and waves on the sea tortured him beyond human form. He ran ashore and had to pass through a large mangrove forest. The leaves of the plants by the water scratched his flesh like a saw. Barefoot and bleeding, he crawled desperately in front of him. Zhong Lei was frightened into a cold sweat by the scene, got up quietly, grabbed a blanket from the sofa in the living room to wrap it around, and stood on the balcony to blow the wind, hoping to Blowing away the salty and sticky smell in the dream, he took a deep breath and exhaled heavily to calm his chaotic mood.

Ji Sumian stood silently behind him, Zhong Lei turned around and was startled, but didn't say anything, just wrapped him in the blanket.Ji Sumian's hand stroked his waist, and he was so cold that he couldn't help but hug him tightly.

"Brother Lei, can you accompany me to Australia? I'm a little scared to face those people and things alone."

"okay."
