Star of tomorrow

Qi Chen went home with Ji Xing on his back, and the sky was completely dark. The Golden Triangle had a power outage today, and the surroundings were pitch black, but the stars on the zenith could be seen clearly, which was very beautiful.

Ji Xing felt sick to his stomach, hugged Qi Chen's neck and moaned, complaining: "I have a headache."

When he was in a daze, Ji Xing bumped his forehead against the corner of the stool. He thought it would be swollen, and said aggrievedly, "You're looking after yourself!"

Qi Chen was wronged, he really didn't notice the stool, but didn't it also make Ji Xing so excited that he couldn't stop?

Now that it's over, it's all his fault.

Qi Chen carefully supported Ji Xing, and said, "I've seen it, it's just a little red, it won't be swollen."

"You still say! Is it your fault!"

"It was my fault."

"Pull *ruthless..."

Qi Chen: "..."

Qi Chen couldn't laugh or cry, and walked slowly on the side street with Ji Xing on his back.During the power outage, many people came out to eat barbecue. The charcoal fire spread in the streets and alleys, dyed a grayish light blue, and the fragrance rushed straight to his forehead, causing Ji Xing's stomach to growl.

"Hungry." Ji Xing said, "I want to eat barbecue."

Qi Chen turned around and walked towards the barbecue stand like a competent "car" that would go east instead of west.

According to the old rules, Qi Chen only ate one piece of grilled fish, and the rest belonged to Ji Xing.

The two were enjoying their meal when Marlboro appeared out of nowhere, rubbed his hands together and said, "Coincidentally, I'm treating you, what else do you want to eat?"

He smiled and glanced at Ji Xing: "Do you drink?"

Ji Xing shook his head: "Young man, don't drink too much."

Marlboro lit a cigarette and puffed: "Hey, young people, don't be so restrained, you must know that life is full of joy."

"What am I proud of?" Ji Xing took a bite of the pork belly, and licked the corner of his mouth that was stained with pepper with the tip of his tongue.

Marlboro pointed to Qi Chen who was silent next to him: "He's back to the boxing ring, aren't you proud enough to go home?"

Marlboro is well-informed and has almost known the cause and effect.

Ji Xing laughed: "With your ability, why not go out and live a good life?"

"Go out?" Marlboro clicked his tongue, pointed to the barbecue stand, and said, "The Golden Triangle is just a microcosm of Yucheng. There are so many places like this in the outside world. Who wouldn't want to live a happy life? The problem is difficult."

Marlboro spread his hands: "With my degree, it's okay to hang out here, and go out..."

He shook his head, asked the boss to bring beer, and poured a glass for himself and Ji Xing.Ji Xing didn't drink, looked him up and down: "Where's your girlfriend?"

"At home." Marlboro drank half a glass in one breath, and took another deep puff of his cigarette, "She is not in good health and doesn't go out much."

Ji Xing had noticed before that Marlboro's girlfriend Xiaomei looked very pale, her voice was low, and she was too thin.

Looks like malnutrition.

Ji Xing said kindly: "If you really like her, go out and work hard. Isn't it better to give her a stable home than here? Does she have medical insurance?"

Marlboro burst out laughing, and repeated in his mouth: "Medical insurance? Oh, medical insurance?"

Qi Chen glanced at Ji Xing and slowly shook his head.

Ji Xing sighed, he was used to the people in the Golden Triangle, people like Qi Chen were in the minority, people like Xu Shuo and Marlboro were the majority.If Xiao Zuo is left alone, Xiao Zuo will be one of them in a few years.

That familiar, dark and desperate atmosphere spread back, covering Ji Xing's intimacy with this place because of Qi Chen.Sure enough, he still didn't like it here, and it wasn't suitable for it.

He didn't bother to say any more, Marlboro could find a thousand reasons for himself, anyway, he would not leave here on his own initiative.

The three ate in silence for a while, Qi Chen was going to pay the bill, Marlboro waved his hand: "Hey, I told you I'm treating you."

Qi Chen didn't want to owe others favors, and said, "It's okay, I'll take care of you."

He patted Marlboro on the shoulder. These people made a special trip to cheer him up when he was playing, and he appreciated it.

Watching Qi Chen go looking for the boss, Ji Xing shook his legs and held a chicken leg in his mouth.

It's pitch black all around,

The screens of everyone's mobile phones emitted flickering light in the darkness, looking from a distance, it looked like a small galaxy falling in the world.

Just faint and barely visible.

Marlboro suddenly approached Ji Xing and said, "Master Ji, I just got this little from your father..." He gestured and said, "It's too far from what I expected, can you go and talk about it?" ..."

Ji Xing frowned, and declined politely, "I don't care about my family's business."

"Don't say that, let's be brothers." Marlboro shook the soot and looked into Ji Xing's eyes, "You also know that Xiaomei's condition is not good, the Golden Triangle can't stay any longer, I want to get some money and take her away. "

"Where are you going?" Ji Xing also looked at him, "If you are going to work outside..."

"Go to the south, Thailand, Myanmar... Laos, anywhere." Marlboro interrupted Ji Xing, exhaled two smoke rings, leaned back in the chair and said slowly, "I want to take her abroad and live a two-person world. "

Ji Xing tapped his fingers on the table: "Then how much do you need? 100 million? 1000 million? Is [-] million enough?"

"It doesn't need that much." Marlboro thought it was a joke, and smiled so much that his teeth were blackened by smoking, "I told your dad the price before, just let him let go. As far as your family is concerned, I have It’s just a fee for the demolished households, how much can it take? Not enough for you to stick between your teeth.”

Ji Xing understood that Marlboro wanted to get a large sum of money and then leave the country to live what he called a "two-person world".

He never thought of giving Xiaomei a better life through his own efforts, but just wanted to take advantage of it.Because this is just a drop in the bucket for the Ji family.

But why?

Did the Ji family's money come from the wind?I thought it was a drop in the bucket, so I had to scatter flowers like a goddess, and give it to whoever wants it?

Seeing that Ji Xing's face darkened, Marlboro smiled dryly, and said, "You also know that Xiaomei..."

"She is your girlfriend, not mine." Ji Xing lost his bones, wiped his hands with paper and stood up, "If you want to give her a good life, earn it yourself."

"Hey!" Marlboro hurriedly stood up and said, "We can discuss the price. We are all brothers..."

"If you are willing to work hard, I can lend you money." Ji Xing looked at him, "Have you thought about what you will do after taking this money? Do business? Invest? Have you thought about how to give Miss Xiaomei a peace of mind? future?"

"What if you run out of money? What are you going to do?"

The people around all looked over and talked a lot. Marlboro couldn't help but lowered his voice and said, "If you don't give it, you won't give it. You don't have the right to teach me a lesson. Fortunately, I went to cheer for Qi Chen and was happy for him. How about you?" ? Turn your face and deny people.”

"It's two things..."

"Will this little money make your Ji family go bankrupt? Do I want a lot?" Marlboro slapped the table, "I also helped you a lot, otherwise your dad would be able to sign all the money before the end of the year." Is it a demolition contract?"

"You also run your own business, you should know that business is not so easy to do!" Marlboro said, "What kind of work have I never done? Part-time job, opening a shop... You can ask, I even opened a barbecue shop at the earliest, at five o'clock in the afternoon Do you know how much money you can make by driving until five in the morning and staying up all night long?"

If it is a holiday, some business can come to your door, and you can earn up to two hundred yuan for a whole night on weekdays.

"What are you doing now that don't require resources or money?" Marlboro said angrily as he pinched his cigarette with red eyes, "Do you think you don't need money to go to the food delivery platform? Don't you need money to advertise? New customer discounts, packaging fees, red envelopes, coupons, rebates The delivery fee... I am responsible for all the money! How much do you pay for a meal? How did you get such a cheap price? Have you ever thought about it? Let alone making a profit overnight, I may even lose money!"

If you don't pay the platform and buy advertising space, there will be no publicity, and no one will order takeaway.

The economy has not been very good in the past two years, and the nights are deserted, and even the milk tea maker next door has closed down.

Marlboro can find 1 reasons to explain that he has worked hard, but it is useless and has no future.

But Ji Xing was unmoved, this is not something he should care about.He has no such obligation.

齐琛

After walking back, he glanced at Marlboro and protected Ji Xing behind him.

Marlboro suddenly woke up, he realized that he lost his composure, wiped his face and kicked the chair, and left in a hurry.

His back looked very embarrassed, he was slightly stooped, his steps were hurried, and he was even a little flustered.

Ji Xing felt that something was wrong. Marlboro usually has a good face and rarely loses his composure outside. In the entire Golden Triangle, Marlboro is already considered a very particular person.

Asking him for money suddenly outside always feels a bit abrupt.

Qi Chen lowered his head and asked, "What's going on?"

When he came back from the checkout, he heard a few words, but he didn't know what was said before.

Ji Xing briefly explained to him, then remembered something and asked, "Didn't he ask you to do business together before? What's going on?"

"I didn't agree, I don't know the details." Qi Chen thought while walking, "But I don't think it's a serious business."

Ji Xing thought for a while and guessed: "I think he should be in urgent need of money."

Marlboro knows how to be a human being, stays on the front line in everything, and will not casually make enemies with others.While selling news, he took the route of an intermediary, introduced work commissions to others, and probably had a little money, otherwise he would not always visit Xiaomei's shop, met Xiaomei, and fell in love with Xiaomei.

Ji Xing thought of something, and said, "That Miss Xiaomei, is she still doing business?"

"It seems to be." Qi Chen knows a little bit, "But she has not been in good health, and she can't make a few orders a day."

This is amazing, people like Marlboro are still willing to let Xiaomei continue to take orders?

There is no explanation other than that they are short of money.

But this lack of money will not appear suddenly. Why can you maintain the exquisite Marlboro before, but suddenly you can't maintain it?

Is it related to demolition?is there any other reason?

"Did you promise to give him the money?" Qi Chen asked with a frown.

"No. It's not my money. It's my dad's hard earned money. Why should I just give it?" Ji Xing said, "And there's no reason to give it to him. Is the Ji family helping the poor? It’s not eligible for poverty alleviation.”

Qi Chen patted his head: "You did the right thing."

There is no need to have some sympathy, because once this kind of head is opened, it will be unable to stop later.

Most people in the Golden Triangle don't have much trust in Qi Chen.

Time flies, and Qi Chen's career prospects have recovered very well. Although there are still various "fake punches" news occasionally, the emotional impact on him is almost negligible.

He seems to have grown up suddenly and quickly, more calm, restrained, and mature than before, full of self-confidence.

Soon, Su Changyu got enough evidence from Chen Jin, and vowed that it was all right this time. Chen Jin thought that he could escape and ascend to heaven, and no one would pay attention to him anymore. Unfortunately, Ji Xing didn't intend to let him go at all, and the lawyer's letter was clear. Chen Jin's name was clearly written on it.

Su Changyu couldn't help laughing because of this: "This Chen surnamed thinks a lot, and he thinks he understands the mentality of rich people. I don't know where this confidence comes from. Hey, you said that if he knew that you had evidence What expression would he have if he crossed the river and demolished the bridge?"

"This is not called crossing rivers and destroying bridges." Ji Xing lazily said, "This is called getting what you deserve."

With the help of Wang Haiyang, Qi Chen began to continuously participate in various small competitions. As an "assistant", Ji Xing basically followed in every game.The two of them had a lot of fun playing the identity game—Ji Xing was an assistant for a while, Qi Chen was a bodyguard for a while, and the two of them were inseparable, like lovers who have been in a passionate relationship.

Even Su Changyu didn't even look at it, and just said that Qi Chen, Ji Xing, and Ji Xing were in love, which was really sensual.For this reason, there was even less time for gatherings, unless Ji Xing was alone, Su Changyu could be invited out for afternoon tea.

Ji Xing's career is also thriving. After the gossip turmoil gradually subsided, the popularity of the official account also gradually decreased, and it began to develop gradually and steadily.

When Ji Xing is free, he runs around with his camera on his back, takes pictures of various places, and finds some stories with realistic temperature.

Whether it is warm, cruel, helpless or curious, the stories he writes are always

Some people followed it, and gradually gained a certain popularity.

"Our old Ji family! We were born with artistic qualities!" Ji Xing said to the unconvinced Su Changyu, "Look at my dad who gave our siblings names, and my mother, who often goes to some photography exhibitions and art exhibitions Charity auctions like that. This is fate!"

Su Changyu: "..."

At that time, Su Changyu was wearing a beige suit, her hair was combed meticulously, she looked gentle and elegant, like a beast in clothes.He is now the operations manager of the "Sugar Free" studio, and he has attracted a lot of advertising sponsorships, and he has also hired a group of people to do data traffic analysis.

At first, of course he hoped that Ji Xing would succeed, but he didn't expect that he would actually succeed?

This is amazing.

Even if there is capital as the foundation, the subsequent traffic is all earned by Ji Xingshi himself.

This made him feel unbelievable. After a long time, he always thought that he and Ji Xing were ignorant dudes, but he was the only one?

This made him feel betrayed, and this plastic friendship was about to fail.

Ji Xing persuaded him: "You just follow me honestly, and let your dad see, it's not like you don't have this ability."

To be honest, Ji Xing is not as good as Su Changyu when it comes to dealing with outsiders.

Xiao Zuo was eating next to him, listening silently, seeing Su Changyu's face turned ugly, he pulled the other's hand and gave him a thumbs up.

"Look!" Ji Xing said, "Xiao Zuo knows you are good."

Su Changyu waved Xiao Zuo's hand away, and groaned, "You will flatter and eat your food!"

Xiao Zuo grinned.The young man looks different every day and grows very fast. Now that his nutrition has caught up, he has jumped up in size, his body has become stronger, his skin has turned whiter, and he looks handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Usually Xiao Zuo has a sullen face and looks like a school bully, but when facing Su Changyu, he shows his true form, very clingy, and has a small dimple when he smiles, which is quite cute.

It's just that Su Changyu doesn't like this, and always complains to Ji Xing, saying that little Zuo has deep thoughts and usually doesn't show his dew, but his stomach is actually full of black water!I don't know what to do!

Ji Xing asked him to give an example, but he couldn't say it. Some things can't be described in words. This is just a kind of intuition.

Ji Xing counted: "I also have an intuition that you haven't dated anyone for several months, and you should be unable to bear it."

Su Changyu: "..."

"Ji Banxian" had a rare appearance, and within a few days, Su Changyu found an excuse to hold a party, saying it was to celebrate Qi Chen's achievements.Ji Xing applauded him, and said with a blank expression: "You are almost half a month late in celebrating, amazing."

Su Changyu didn't intend to take Xiao Zuo this time, so he found an excuse to send him away, but as soon as he met Ji Xing in the coffee shop, Xiao Zuo chased after him like he was following the scent.

When Su Changyu thought of this, he became angry and didn't want to talk to Xiao Zuo. After drinking enough afternoon tea with Ji Xing, and the party time was approaching, the two went to the reserved restaurant together.

The entire floor of the Su family's own restaurant was booked up. At this time, many people had already arrived, joking and joking with each other. It was very lively.

Ji Xing sent a message to Qi Chen, and Qi Chen will find him after training.He greeted a few friends with whom he had a good relationship on weekdays, and this noisy feeling gave him a sense of distant strangeness.

It seems that the night-to-night daily routine of eating and waiting to die and play all night is already a matter of the previous life.

When I was in this kind of environment before, I just felt that it was not noisy enough, and I could make more noise. If I didn't go out for three or five days a week, I felt that something was wrong all over my body.

The same noise now made him feel very boring and empty.

Without Qi Chen by his side, it seemed that he would not be able to get excited about going anywhere, his surroundings were empty, and his heart also sank.

Su Changyu's purpose for hosting the party is very clear, just like what Ji Xing said - if you count your fingers, you can't bear it.

Not long after the commotion, Su Changyu disappeared. Xiao Zuo was looking for people in various rooms, and was blocked by a few big boys in the corner to molested him. Ji Xing was about to help when he saw Xiao Zuo with a fierce face and pushed him away. A few people left, and their temper was too bad.

That fierce look followed Jin San

There is no difference when horning, it looks like it is about to bite.

Ji Xing watched it amusedly, scratched his chin, and suddenly realized Xiao Zuo's attitude towards Su Changyu... something seemed wrong?
