Diurnal

Chen Xiang seemed determined to make friends with Ji Shizhou. Ever since the two met at the banquet, he could be seen in several receptions and social gatherings since then.

This group of young people who are about the same age as Ji Shizhou has a unified circle. Chen Xiang is not the most talkative among them, but he is the one who knows how to make trouble.

Shi Yi classifies these people as ignorant and incompetent, he looks down on them very much, and forbids Ji Shizhou from contacting them.

Of course Ji Shizhou would not listen to Shi Yi's words. He had no interest in Chen Xiang's deliberate ingratiation, but he was invited to a nearby famous entertainment club on the night Shi Yi finished speaking.

Chen Xiang didn't expect that he would come this time, and he said the same as the previous few times, only saying that everyone should get to know each other well so that we can communicate in the future.It wasn't until Ji Shizhou was welcomed into the door that Chen Xiang was sure that Ji Shizhou was not joking this time.

Ji Shizhou frowned at the scene in front of him. Obviously, this group of people came to enjoy themselves. After opening the door, the dim lights and retro jazz music contrasted with each other. Several couples were already half-undressed.

Chen Xiang put the wine on the bar and hurried over with that fake smile on his face again.

Ji Shizhou glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on the man in front of him, "Is this the decent person you're talking about?"

Chen Xiang's smile remained undiminished: "Hey, it's not fun to say that."

Ji Shizhou ignored it, went straight up the steps, and walked to the bar where Chen Xiang was sitting just now.Naturally, there were eyes turned towards him, but no one stopped him ignorantly, and many people present knew who he was.

Although Ji Shizhou has always hated this deep-rooted resemblance, his face is a living sign.

Chen Xiang followed behind him, sat back to his original position, and raised his glass to him, "How about it? Have a drink?"

After two glasses of cocktails, Chen Xiang's eyes were blurred. Ji Shizhou looked around and found a few familiar faces.Huadu said that big is big, but the circle is only that big.During the period, someone came to greet Ji Shizhou, and before leaving, he hinted that he could order a lady.

Ji Shizhou refused.

The man said: "That's right, on your condition, there are a group of people who are willing to follow you without looking for it."

Ji Shizhou didn't respond, and the man quickly walked away just to make fun of himself.

He doesn't like this kind of atmosphere, it's the way Shi Qiong likes here, but it's not so blatant.When I was a child, my family often invited guests, such as birthday parties, banquets, receptions, Shi Qiong liked all activities with many people.

Ji Guohua couldn't cope with such an occasion, so he left early but couldn't take him away rashly.

At that time, Shi Qiong was young and beautiful, and the most common sentence he said to him was: "Go and play by yourself, Mom has other things to do."

Thinking of Shi Qiong, Ji Shizhou frowned again.

"I didn't expect you to come, otherwise I must find a more formal place than here." Chen Xiang was half drunk and talked more than usual.

Suddenly, someone brought a female partner on stage and danced, none of them stepped on the beat, and in the end they simply hugged and kissed indiscriminately.

Ji Shizhou's thoughts were not interrupted. Shi Qiong had been in and out of Chi Jie's restaurant since the beginning of the year, and he had nothing to do about it.

The woman seemed to be really going to eat. She ordered a private room for one person, ordered a table of dishes, and only took one bite of each dish and had to comment on it one by one.

Chi Jie had a headache for a while, afraid that Jiang Xinrou might misunderstand something, but the girl was very angry and told the other party: "That's Ji Shizhou's mother, I won't think about it, besides, it's not surprising that it's Ji Shizhou's mother. "

The implication is that Ji Shizhou is usually very unpredictable, and if he is taught to be such a woman, he will only be more neurotic than him.

In fact, Shi Qiong was indeed.

Later, she didn't sit in the private room at all, but sat in the most conspicuous place in the lobby, euphemistically saying: "Eating alone is too lonely, it's better to have more people."

The teacher's family has always been tolerant of her control, as long as she doesn't cause trouble, she can do whatever she wants.

The old man in the family is quite normal, but Ji Shizhou's grandma spoils the only daughter beyond words.Otherwise, after giving birth to Shi Yi, in the past seven years, after confirming that she would not be able to have another child, she would not have gone to great lengths to adopt a girl.This love lasts for decades.

Even if Shi Qiong did such an unreasonable thing, he could forgive it, as if it never happened, and other things were even more trivial.

Chen Xiang said, "You don't still remember that I beat you, do you?"

Only then did Ji Shizhou separate his attention, "If you mean the time when you cut my face, I did it on purpose."

Chen Xiang was quiet for two seconds, as if he didn't understand Ji Shizhou's words, and continued: "Isn't it because I was young at that time that I didn't understand anything? I just wanted to avenge my brother..."

Ji Shizhou, who was still calm before, suddenly frowned and raised his eyes, "Fang Ji didn't tell you to do that."

Chen Xiang was even more confused this time, and the spirit of wine was getting stronger and stronger, "Wait...well, Fang Ji, I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me, right! Fang Ji! How could I have forgotten this person! You The two used to have a good relationship..."

Ji Shizhou didn't want to break up with the alcoholic, and he didn't even want to hear Fang Ji's name from the other party's mouth.As if this is a privilege, whether it is "Fang Ji" or "Brother", it should belong to him first, followed by others.

He had confirmed his background from Shi Qiong when he was just in high school, and he couldn't accept that he looked more and more like Shi Yi.

The appearance of Fang Ji made him turn his violence into another kind of distorted curiosity. Chen Xiang's gang came to him, but gave him a good reason to approach Fang Ji.

If I had to say, he was no better than Chen Xiang back then.

Chen Xiang said again: "I have approached you several times because I really want to cooperate with you..."

Ji Shizhou said directly, "I won't stay in the company for long."

Chen Xiang laughed again, a little mockingly, this time it was very similar to the past, "I know, this is what I want."

He was indeed drunk, approached Ji Shizhou and lowered his voice: "Look at the group of people around you, how many of them really have a crush on me?"

Ji Shizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think that I have a crush on you?"

Chen Xiang laughed loudly, drained half of the wine in the goblet, and waved his hand, "You don't need to think highly of me, you just need our cooperation, right, I know you want to get rid of Shijia..."

The temperature in Ji Shizhou's eyes dropped to freezing point, and he listened to Chen Xiang's ramblings coldly.

"...Ji Guohua is really good to you." Finally, Chen Xiang sighed.

Ji Shizhou asked him, "What qualifications do you have to say that?"

He knew that Chen Xiang started a small company with the support of his parents, and last year he lost a lot of money due to poor management.It was not without reason that Chen Xiang wanted to recruit him into the gang. As early as Ji Shizhou's high school days, Ji Guohua had shown that he attached great importance to this son.Chen Xiang heard a lot from his parents, including why Ji Shizhou appeared in that small town in Li County.

But now that Chen Xiang was drunk, he became more outspoken than usual: "Is he still treating you badly? I was cuckolded and..."

Ji Shizhou finally beat the alcoholic with his hands.

The people on the stage danced for a long time without getting stuck in the rhythm, but the speed of his shots was perfectly caught in the beat of the music.

For a while, everyone around was stunned, and no one thought of fighting.Chen Xiang drank so much that his whole body became limp, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

It was still the staff of the clubhouse who blocked him, so Ji Shizhou stopped, paid his share of the drink neatly, and walked out without looking back.No one dared to stop him, for fear that the fist would fall on him.

Ji Shizhou didn't like this place, enough to remind him of when he was a child, every time the carnival ended, the house was in a mess, and Fang's mother cleaned up the ground while chanting.Ji Guohua would come home with presents, knock on his door, and only open the door to come in when he answered.

There is a deep gully between the man's eyebrows that has been frowning all year round, and his voice is as gentle as possible: "Go downstairs and eat cake, today is your birthday."

As the protagonist of the birthday party, he is the reason and excuse for Shi Qiong to entertain the guests.

On the night of February [-]th, a one-sided fight ended, and Ji Shizhou even forgot that tomorrow was his birthday.

After twelve o'clock, Fang Ji called immediately.

"Xiao Zhou, happy birthday!"

Ji Shizhou connected, and heard cheerful congratulations from the other end of the phone.

I saw it at the beginning of Mingming, and now I miss it.

Want to hug his puppy, want to call him by name or "brother", look at the aftertaste of his thin red cheeks and dark and bright eyes.

"Wait a minute, sir! You forgot to take your coat!"

At the same time, the receptionist who had ushered him into the banquet hall trotted over on stiletto heels, his voice was not as loud as in a high-end club, but more like a market with people coming and going.

"Xiao Zhou... where are you now?"
