knowing advisor

When the two walked to the gate of the community, Mingzhi suddenly remembered what the consultant hadn't finished saying at the bar just now, so he asked him: "Consultant, what did you want to say to me just now?"

The consultant turned around, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I just wanted to say, didn't you like Chen Jin before? Seeing him with his boyfriend, do you really not care at all?"

Knowing it is like listening to the scriptures: "What??"

For the first time, the consultant didn't look him in the eyes to speak, lowered his head, and said bluntly: "I know, what Chen Jin said is right. I really remember him because of you. I know, he said to you, It's a very special friend, someone you liked before."

Knowing that he didn't answer, the intuition consultant still had something to say.

Sure enough, the consultant paused for a few seconds, then continued.

"Speaking of which, I am quite envious of Chen Jin. He has been a good friend with you for so many years, and he has even been liked by you."

"I am a confident person, but I am not fully sure about pursuing you."

Only then did the consultant raise his head, stare into Mingzhi's eyes and say, "Because the one who makes the final decision is you."

After more than ten seconds, I was sure that the consultant didn't intend to continue talking, so I opened my mouth knowingly: "Have you finished?"

The advisor nodded.

Mingzhi asked him with his hands behind his back: "Who told you that I like Chen Jin?"

The consultant told the truth: "I once heard that Chen Jin said in public that yours is his, and if he doesn't believe it, he will come to ask you face to face."

Mingzhi suppressed a smile: "Then why don't you ask me?"

"Because," the consultant went on, after a pause, "it doesn't seem to mean anything."

"That is to say," knowingly nodding repeatedly, his tone rose inadvertently, "Is there something else that makes you think I like Chen Jin?"

The consultant really wanted to reach out and pinch Mingzhi's round cheeks because of holding back a smile, but he couldn't do it now.

He continued to be honest: "One time after school, I saw you fighting with others because of Chen Jin, and afterward, I hugged him to comfort him for a long time."

Knowing that she couldn't help raising her eyebrows, when was she still so passionate?

"I think Chen Jin must be a very important person to you if someone with such a good temper like you can take care of it."

After his reminder, Mingzhi felt that such a thing really happened.Thinking back for a moment, he remembered everything, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Advisor, you should come and ask me."

The consultant thought for a while and said, "I'm asking you now, is it too late?"

Mingzhi nodded: "It's too late."

As soon as the voice fell, the consultant suddenly stopped talking, really waiting for his answer.

Mingzhi looked into his eyes and spoke calmly: "Consultant, Chen Jin and I are good friends. I'm sure he and I don't have any thoughts about each other. As for the fight you mentioned, it was indeed for Chen Jin, but that was out of the question. For friendship and nothing else."

Hearing this, the consultant's eyes changed slightly, and he nodded and said, "Got it."

Mingzhi tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Consultant, you are such a smart person, there are times when you can't figure it out."

The consultant shook his head, disapprovingly: "A person's intelligence is relative to a certain field. I may be proficient in other fields, but when it comes to love, I am just a layman."

"Education, career, and family can't add points to my love..."

As he spoke, he stopped abruptly, looked at Mingzhi, and said slowly: "Because, the score book is not in my hands."

Knowing that she lowered her eyes slightly, subconsciously touched her face with her hands, and bent her lips: "Go get the car."

"Knowingly."

He was just about to leave when he heard the consultant call himself and turned around again.

"I can," the consultant lowered his head, and the voice sounded in his ear, "Can I stay with you for a while?"

***

The car drove smoothly on the viaduct, and the lights flowing slowly on both sides, like fishing fire swaying on the river, sometimes drifted on the faces of the two people.

The interior of the car is very quiet, and there is almost no sound from outside.

After getting off the bridge, the car turned right into a lane.Not long after, it stopped in a quiet high-end residential area.

Mingzhi looked at the tall houses around him, and his expression seemed a little dazed.

"Is your grandmother's house here?"

"Ah."

The advisor responded, unfastening the seat belt.

"Wait here, I'll be out soon."

"it is good."

After the consultant got out of the car, Mingzhi's eyes moved away from his back, and slowly moved to a place in front of the car, at the end of the path.

15 minutes passed and the consultant came back.

He sat in the car with a little fresh breath from the outside.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Mingzhi looked away, and said softly, "Is grandma asleep?"

The consultant nodded, and said while fastening the seat belt: "I fell asleep, and I have been coaxing for a long time."

While speaking, he raised his head and smiled at Mingzhi.

"Keep asking me why I didn't take you in."

Mingzhi shook his head lightly, and smiled back politely: "It's too late, forget it."

As soon as the voice fell, the consultant's hand that was about to press the start button suddenly stopped in mid-air, turned his head, looked at Mingzhi's face for a while, and asked him: "Mingzhi, are you in a bad mood?"

Knowing that he didn't answer his words, she turned her face away and looked ahead.After a while of silence, he stretched out his hand, pointed to the front, and asked, "Consultant, do you see the house at the end of the front?"

The consultant followed his line of sight, and at the end was a courtyard villa with the architectural style of the last century, with ferns hanging at the door.

The consultant said, "Is it Ming's mansion?"

Mingzhi nodded: "I lived there when I was very young."

He didn't notice his low tone: "It's been a long time since I came back, I almost forgot what it was like inside."

Afterwards, he was silent for a few seconds, and the corner of his mouth suddenly curled into a shallow smile: "I just remember that when summer comes, the black-eyed Susans all over the wall will open up, orange and yellow, very beautiful."

"However," Mingzhi shrugged and smiled indifferently, "the remaining memories are not very good."

At this time, he turned his face away and saw the consultant sitting upright, frowning and looking at himself, with a serious expression like the host of a legal program, couldn't help laughing, and pulled him through the sweater wrist.

"what are you doing?"

"I..." the consultant paused and replied seriously, "I'm listening to your story."

Hearing this, knowing that he was in a hurry to wave his hands, he said with a smile: "What, it's not a real live broadcast."

He withdrew his hand, straightened his shirt, and said, "It's just an unhappy family, with an older dad who is very angry and doesn't like anyone; a young mother who suffers from postpartum depression and always screams at night, And a child born without knowing why."

The consultant listened quietly, and after a while, asked him: "I know, why didn't you live here later?"

"Eh..." Mingzhi held his chin and thought about it, and said, "I don't remember if it was three or two years old. After my mother committed suicide due to severe depression, my father became more irritable and irritable. The old servant in the mansion Maybe I felt that one big monster at home was enough, and I couldn’t have another little monster, so I secretly told my elder brother about it. Then, my elder brother came back and took me away.”

As he said that, Mingzhi suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at a certain place in the mansion, and said with his head: "Look, the rose window on the third floor is a different color from the surrounding windows. It was my dad who lost his temper and smashed it with an ashtray. Yes. The craftsman couldn't find the exact same one, so he had to install a similar one, but you can still see the difference if you look closely. See it, it's there..."

"Knowingly."

All of a sudden, the consultant pulled his hand down and gently held his wrist.

Mingzhi leaned back on his seat, resting his head on the back of the chair, turned his face away, and met the consultant's gentle but caring eyes.

He smiled at the consultant, and said with relief: "Actually, it's okay. All I can remember are these two or three things, and I forgot everything else."

The consultant looked at him silently for a while, then said, "Let's go."

Mingzhi nodded: "Okay."
