silent garden

After Xia Qi left, no one seemed to think about reuniting.Life is so long, it is not uncommon to have one or two dreams that ended without a disease.They don't have any frequent contacts in common. Once they don't contact each other, the news is really cut off.

Xia Weijun was overjoyed to see that he was willing to come back before the end of the semester.The idea of ​​letting him contact his old comrades in Pinggang in the hope of having a good relationship in the future is never dared again.

In the few days when he just returned to N City, Xia Weijun always paid attention to his mobile phone quietly.Every time a call or message comes in, I can't wait to go and read it.In the end, he either contacted Professor Ye or Zhou Huailuo.

The former discusses academics, while the latter is mostly howling "I'm so lonely when you're gone", and he will only reply to two if he sends ten.After observing like this for more than half a month, Xia Weijun was relieved.

"Find some time, go and see your dad." Xia Weijun said with downcast eyes one night at dinner.

Qingming and Double Ninth Festival have passed, so why sweep the tombs?

Xia Qi doesn't have a deep impression of his biological father, and his feelings are so thin that they may not exist. The tomb-sweeping every Qingming Festival is also required by traditional Chinese customs.On days without festivals, he was really in no mood to visit the grave.In addition, Xia Weijun's words meant to ask him to admit his mistakes, and he felt disgusted in his heart.

"Well, let me check the time." He was silent for a while, and answered perfunctorily before Xia Weijun could say another word.

Xia Weijun listened and looked up at him.His eyes sank, and he opened his mouth to say something.But before he could speak, Xia Qi went to the kitchen with a clean bowl.The water in the faucet was splashing, turned on louder than usual, and the sound was louder than usual.

That's all.Xia Weijun looked at his back and closed his mouth.I thought, after all, it wasn't my own son.

Thinking of the words "pro son", Xia Weijun's mood turned for the better, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously - he recently met someone he liked and was in contact with him.It's just that the horoscope is still a bit short, so he suppressed it for now and didn't tell Xia Qi.

Now many people are having a second child, and they are just like him at his age.He figured that if he and the person he liked were married, it would not be difficult for him to have a son in the future.

Thinking about it this way, he no longer wants to control Xia Qi everywhere.Let him be perfunctory.

Xia Qi didn't visit the grave.He has endless courses and projects to do.On the first working day after returning to N City, I went out early in the morning to the tutor's laboratory.

In fact, after leaving Pinggang City, he discovered that there are many good medicines that can restore people.Cold, work, newcomers, you name it.Even the invisible time and distance can cover the injured area coldly, making the feeling blurred to the point of numbness.

He didn't have as many nostalgia and regrets as he imagined.

Granted, the initial pain was sharp.For a while, he felt that he understood what it was like to "have a scar on his heart" written in the book.It hurts, even if you touch it.

But the scar does shed its scab.

One day, he scrolled down the WeChat dialog box and swiped Fei Tianlan through the page, without any disturbance in his heart.After reading what he was looking for, he pulled back to that location and clicked on Fei Tianlan's profile. His fingers were hovering over the "delete" button, but he felt that there was nothing to delete.He knew that that dream was not so vigorous, and it was not worth mobilizing people.

He didn't delete that person in the end, he just cleared the chat history.

Since then, Fei Tianlan has been silent in the friend list that he would never look through at ordinary times.Day by day, he was overwhelmed by the dust of time day by day.Not a dream, but also a dream.

And this time, it only took half a year.

Summer is coming again, Xia Qi no longer thinks about Pinggang.Even the contact with Zhou Huailuo has been greatly reduced.Among them, it was Zhou Huailuo who came to visit Fei Tianlan again.

He was a doctoral student, and suddenly proposed to Professor Ye to suspend his studies and want to go around.The first stop of the walk is N City.

When calling Xia Qi, he said solemnly: "I'm going to fulfill my promise to play with you!"

These days, who takes this kind of promise as a promise.Young master Zhou is sometimes so innocent and cute that he is a little silly.

Xia Qi drove Xia Weijun's car to the airport to pick him up, only to find that Lu Zhao had arrived earlier than himself.

The arrival gate of the airport is just that big.As soon as Xia Qi got out of the elevator, he glanced around, and saw Lu Zhao in a white lab coat standing by the wall, looking down at his phone.

He hesitated for a moment, but didn't immediately go up to say hello.

Lu Zhao had been to the N city branch of Beiliang Chemical as early as January and had contacted him.He hastily fulfilled his friendship as a landlord, and later the other party sent him a message, and he replied politely and distantly.How many people have a hot face and a cold butt.

"Xiao Xia!" Lu Zhao still found him and waved at him.

He had no choice but to walk over, tip his nose silently, and said, "Gong Lu is also here to pick up my brother?"

Lu Zhao nodded, still focusing on the phone.Another message was lowered.Probably because I was too lazy to type, I deleted two words and switched to voice.It's all about work.

"Did Gong Lu come directly from the company?"

"Yes." Lu Zhao put the phone in his pocket this time, with a helpless smile on his face, "Xiao Luo asked me to come in person. I thought he was in a bad mood, so I came here. This kid is very kind-hearted." Well, it is lack of love. If you can satisfy him a little bit, he will be happy for several days."

Said as if very experienced.

Xia Qi knew in his heart that their relationship should be very good, not the little transparent and unfamiliar god that Zhou Huailuo said.But he doesn't like to inquire about other people's affairs.Even if there is intentional concealment, it's fine if I can figure it out, and I won't question it.

When Lu Zhao said this, he nodded in agreement: "Yes."

In this way, the topic is broken.He looked into the arrival entrance, and Lu Zhao also looked in when he saw this.

The display outside had shown that Zhou Huailuo's plane landed on time.After waiting for more than ten minutes, Zhou Huailuo finally saw Zhou Huailuo come out dragging the suitcase.

They both called him at the same time.

He turned his head and saw that his wrinkled and sleepy face immediately smiled, and shouted: "You are all here, I really have a face!"

...It seems that maybe I can really be happy for several days.

But Lu Zhao was really busy this day, after taking Zhou Huailuo back to the city, he went back to the company.I made an appointment for the three of us to have dinner together, but we didn't make it to the scene.Privately transferred a few hundred yuan to Xia Qi, saying that it was for Zhou Huailuo to take the wind and count his share.

Xia Qi thought about it, and showed it to Zhou Huailuo. Zhou Huailuo smiled happily, and scolded "cunning old fox".Then he took the initiative to confess to Xia Qi.

He and Lu Zhao had known each other for a long time.Lu Zhao's first job after entering the society was under Zhou Huailuo's father, and was later poached by Beiliang with a lot of money.

"My father and brother hate him, especially my brother, who gnashes his teeth whenever he is mentioned. Do you know why?" After drinking a little beer, Zhou Huailuo's face began to turn red, and he liked to stick up a finger and shake it when he spoke.

Xia Qi asked cooperatively, "Why?"

Zhou Huailuo said: "Because he wanted to start his own business later, he asked Lu Gong repeatedly, but he couldn't find it!" After speaking, he laughed, very proud.I don't know what logic this pride comes from.

But smiling, he wrinkled his nose, and then his eyes turned red.

Xia Qi suddenly understood.Zhou Huailuo was not proud just now.When Zhou Huaiqiong was mentioned, he laughed at himself, felt sad, and had nowhere to vent.

It was too sad to hold back, so it was twisted and swaggered, and it changed its shape.And as soon as this ostentation fell down, it immediately turned into a small, small grievance.

Zhou Huailuo burst into tears almost immediately.

Xia Qi has never seen anyone shed tears like that, one after another popping out from the bottom of his eyes, just like pearls falling out of his eyes.The difference is that the pearls hit the ground with a sound, but his tears shattered as soon as they hit the ground.

Xia Qi stared at him blankly for two seconds, then hurriedly pulled out a napkin for him.

He cried like this for several minutes, and when he couldn't breathe, he wiped the tears away with a napkin and blew his nose.When she opened her mouth again, her voice took on the nasal sound characteristic of crying.

"I'm fine. I just saw you feeling sorry for the same person, crying to you, and you definitely wouldn't laugh at me." He sniffed his nose and took another breath. Looking over, his eyes were quite clear.

"Let me tell you, within three years in Pinggang, it will definitely be dominated by the Fei family, our family, and the Chen family."

Fei family.Xia Qi flashed past the house he had lived in - in his eyes, Fei's house was just that place, not any other vague meanings that others said.

"Oh." He responded excitedly.

Zhou Huailuo said to himself: "In December last year, Fei Tianlan went back to the Sanjiang headquarters. My brother took out the evidence that the old guys in Sanjiang paid for Fei Tianlan's life and helped him clean up a group of people. .Fei Tianlan is also very good. Those shares of Sanjiang were dismantled in the east and robbed in the west. He finally became the largest shareholder. Together, Pinggang will change. I don't understand these things, but I see the three of them are often together now. Fei Tianlan is really not interested in that woman. Now, my brother and that woman are talking about a partner... I don't know if I will get married..."

Having said that, his voice lowered, and the ending was very sad.He didn't continue talking, and the spoon in his hand was stirring the soup in the bowl.

"That woman" was obviously Chen Zhixin.

The girl had vacillated between them for so long, and finally fell into a family.Zhou Huailuo spent a lot of effort to hinder this matter, but it still happened.

Xia Qi felt a little complicated and didn't know what to answer.The two were silent with each other.

After thinking for a while, Xia Qi tried his best to comfort Zhou Huailuo: "Don't be sad, go out and relax, and you will get better gradually. Stay away, see a lot, and have something to do, it will be fine."

"You are like this?" Zhou Huailuo raised his eyes and looked over.

"I..." Xia Qi was speechless.

Zhou Huailuo looked at him almost curiously: "Are you alright? Don't you like Fei Tianlan anymore? If Fei Tianlan is standing in front of you now, please come back to him, please don't leave, saying that he doesn't care whether he is with you or not." Whoever talks about marriage with you, you will have a place..." He paused, then asked slowly, "Can you be okay?"

Well... probably really can't.

Xia Qi was choked, pursed his lips for a while, and said dryly, "You've worked hard."

Zhou Huailuo snorted and raised his chin: "I'm much better than you. I learned from the pain and decided to go sightseeing in the mountains and the world around me. When I come back, I will be completely reborn. Do you believe it?"

It's nice to have money.Xia Qi thought silently, with a serious expression on his face, he nodded seriously and replied: "I believe!"

Zhou Huailuo was still drunk after this meal.

After Xia Qi sent him back to the hotel, he heard a lot of nonsense from him.He cried for a while and laughed for a while, grabbing Xia Qi and not letting him go.The whole person curled up on the bed, looking weak and helpless.His strength is great.Xia Qi couldn't break free, so he had to stay and guard by the side.

When he fell asleep, Xia Qi opened the mobile browser and searched for the entry: Pinggang City Sanjiang Group

Immediately jumped out a lot of news reports.There are various contents, the most of which are about the appointment of the young new chairman.For this reason, the local forum also built several tall buildings to discuss this matter.Some dig inside, some analyze Sanjiang's prospects, and some discuss gossip.

It is lively and full of flowers.

Xia Qi fixed on a piece of news, looking at Fei Tianlan in the picture.He was wearing a custom-made suit that he didn't recognize. He was tall and straight, with an astonishingly handsome face.The posture is more calm, the demeanor is serious but the eyes are relaxed, the traces of pretending to be calm a year ago are completely invisible, and the whole person exudes the confidence that is really easy to lift.

He should have become the real President Fei.

"I wish you a bright future, you have won." Xia Qi murmured softly, closed the page, and fell asleep on his side.

Zhou Huailuo rolled and bumped him when he was in a daze, and he woke up immediately.He opened his eyes and saw that the phone on the table was on.He took a look at it, only to enter a spam text message.

But he unlocked the fingerprint lock, turned to the news he had read before, and saved the picture.

Such a handsome photo, it’s good to keep it to ward off evil spirits.
