Xiao has thought about it for a long time

The tie tied in front of him belonged to Fu Bei. It was pure black ascetic, made of silk, with excellent texture and drape, which could well show the owner's taste.

The eyes are dark, the reaction is much slower, in a passive state, and you can't see the appearance of the other party. The heater is turned on in the car, which is warm and comfortable. The vision is blocked, and the other senses are particularly clear and sensitive.

At that time, there were no other people by the river in the outskirts, and the inside of the car could not be seen from the outside. In the distance, there were only the slow-flowing river and the outlines of mountains under the dense night. The moon hanging in the center of the sky was round and white, like an attractive The pearl, fluttering in the stacked clouds, swam to the middle after a while, wrapped the white and tender pearl, bit and swallowed it bit by bit.

When the moon was completely hidden in the thick clouds, the ground became more and more silent, the deserted river was no longer shimmering, and even the flow of the river seemed to slow down. The gloomy atmosphere was completely different from that in the car.

Fu Bei leaned over and gently sniffed Josie's neck. Greedy but restrained, he raised his head and kissed Josie's hair with his thin lips.

Josie couldn't help tightening her lower abdomen, and slowed down, her red lips were slightly opened and closed, her chin was raised slightly, and she involuntarily approached the other party.Fu Bei pressed the pulp of his index finger on her smooth chin, rubbed it lightly with a small force, and lowered his head to kiss her rosy lips, the warm breath passed to each other, comforting each other.

In fact, as early as five or six years ago, the two of them came here, and went to the movies together that day, but everything that happened was completely opposite.

At that time, it had entered the most intense period of high school study, and the overwhelming academic tasks were overwhelming. Seeing the students around her go abroad, recommend them, or devote themselves to preparing for the exam, Josie couldn't help feeling anxious and confused. , can't see the way forward.

Qiao's mother and Qiao Jianliang have also reached the stage where they are truly strangers, and everything that should be dealt with has been properly handled, and they are no longer related to each other.The two originally wanted to wait for Josie's college entrance examination before applying for a divorce certificate, but Qiao's mother didn't want to wait any longer, so she discussed with Qiao Jianliang to tear up the certificate first. The two hit it off and went to apply for a divorce certificate the next day.

The husband and wife have been officially liberated since then, and each go their own way.On the day of the divorce, they went to a western restaurant to have a meal alone, without any reluctance or unhappiness, and peacefully opened up their hearts and chatted to discuss the raising of their daughter.

Qiao's mother, who drank two more glasses of wine, confided in the last moment of the meal: "I don't worry about Xiaoxi following you. In the future... I may not come back very often."

Qiao Jianliang paused, "Where are you going?"

"It hasn't been decided yet, but it's definitely not in Jiangcheng." Mother Qiao said truthfully.

Qiao Jianliang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Take care of yourself."

Mother Qiao laughed: "You don't need to be so provocative."

Their love was built on the basis of firewood, rice, oil and salt. When all the material needs were met, they lost to Fenghuaxueyue. In this ten-year tug-of-war, neither of the two standing on the high-rise and dangerous towers was sorry for the other. , just no longer fit.

The world is vast, and from now on, each side will be on one side, and the new life will start very quickly, and it will no longer have anything to do with the past.

At a private party, Fu Bei met a radiant Qiao's mother. The well-maintained Qiao's mother was well-dressed, wearing a light yellow dress that dragged the floor, and elegantly entered the venue with her new Italian boyfriend on her arm. It's unbelievably intimate.At a later banquet, Fu Bei met Qiao Jianliang again. Qiao Jianliang's female companion was not Qiao's mother, but a mature woman in her thirties.

Josie didn't seem to notice, and was still troubled by her studies, sometimes so stressful that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

At that time, Fu Bei would go back every day, and Josie ran towards Fu's house every night, and stayed there almost every night.

Anxiety before the exam is perfectly normal, Fu Bei insisted on helping her with her revision, and occasionally took her out to relax.

Josie said he wanted to go to the movies, but instead of going to the cinema, he asked Fu Bei to drive to the river. The two of them sat on the hood of the car with their legs bent, watching "Chongqing Forest" with their mobile phones in their hands.Wong Kar-wai's shooting technique is as romantic as ever, hiding the filth in the light and shadow, Josie is ignorant, and the most impressive thing is Takeshi Kaneshiro's monologue - "I don't know when it started, where is it?" There is a date on it, the saury will expire, the canned meat will expire, and even the fresh-keeping paper will expire, I began to wonder, in this world, is there anything that will not expire?"

The wind by the river is gentle, blowing slowly in bursts.

Before the movie was over, Josie suddenly said, "My mom is learning Italian recently."

Fu Bei was startled, then turned his head to look.

Josie didn't turn her head to look at her, and continued, "I'm serious about my studies. I read books in my hands at night, and I'm working harder than me, a senior in high school."

Fu Bei didn't know how to speak, his thin lips moved, but he didn't say much after all, he raised his hand and rubbed the back of her head.

"Don't think about it."

Josie looked down at the phone screen.

In the movie, Takeshi Kaneshiro is running on the street, looking around, Hong Kong gradually blurs behind him, and the background changes rapidly.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly leaned her head on Fu Bei's shoulder and grabbed Fu Bei's hand.

If it was usual, Fu Bei would definitely shrink back, but this time he didn't.Josie didn't watch the ending of the movie, and didn't pay attention to what happened next. When she returned to the car, she suddenly hugged Fu Bei. Fu Bei no longer stood still or pushed her away as before, but He hugged her around the back.

It snowed heavily again in Jiangcheng this winter, and the goose feather snow covered it with a thick layer, making it difficult to go out.Fu Bei attended a friend's party and came home drunk. At that time, Josie was already waiting in the room, and Fu Bei helped her draw the review points with a slightly drunken smell.

"Why are you drinking?" Josie asked.

Fu Bei said, "They have to let them drink, or they won't let them go."

The party obviously didn't end until one o'clock in the morning, and she insisted on leaving after ten o'clock, so her friends booed her to drink, and she really drank.

Josie was not used to the smell of wine, but she still leaned into her arms, moved, and pressed against the other person without any trace.Fu Bei was aware of it, but he didn't make any resistance. Instead, he picked up a pen and started to talk about the topic.

That night, it was so late that everyone in the Fu family should have gone to bed. Josie and Fu Bei also thought they had already rested, and they were just studying at first, so they didn't close the door of the room.

Josie got closer and closer to Fu Bei, and in the end, she just fell into Fu Bei's arms, raised her head slightly, and brushed the side of this man's face with her lips.

Hot, with the smell of alcohol.

She pursed her lips and stopped moving.

Fu Bei just lowered his eyes, as if his nerves were really paralyzed by the wine, he was so slow that he couldn't feel it, and he didn't take any action.

Josie boldly put her arms around the man's waist, overstepping the distance.In the usual way, Fu Bei would have pushed her away long ago, maybe he would have to preach a few words, but this time he didn't, he let her make a fuss, and didn't even respond when Josie put her cheek on his neck.

It was still snowing outside, falling in bursts, and the snowflakes fell in front of the window, forming a white wall.

Because of drinking, he was a little tired and lazy, and his voice became hoarse and depressed. Fu Bei tilted his head and asked softly, "Is it cold with so little clothes?"

The warm breath fell on Josie's ears, passing by vaguely.Josie flinched, and almost leaned herself against this person. After a long while, she replied in a low voice: "It's not cold..."

If she hadn't been so greedy, the warmth at this moment should have continued, but she couldn't hold back, and while Fu Bei was giving a lecture, she leaned over and quickly kissed the corner of the other's lips.

Fu Bei couldn't dodge in time, he never expected her to be so courageous and unscrupulous.

And this scene was also seen by Liang Yuzhi who happened to pass by.

The accumulated clouds receded, exposing the full moon, and the wind on the riverside blew gently, causing the river to wrinkle and ripple.

Fu Bei's thin lips finally stopped at the corner of Josie's mouth and stopped moving forward.

Josie's shirt is still neatly dressed, but it's a little messy, with three buttons undone, and the bottom one is also in jeopardy.

……

When it was over, Josie lay on Fu Bei's body, her fair and slender legs half-kneeling on both sides, and her two hands were behind the man's shoulders. After resting for a while, she said weakly: "Boss Ji's matter, what's the matter?" No thank you."

Fu Bei helped her straighten her messy hair, took out two pieces of paper, raised his eyes, and asked inexplicably, "Thank me for what?"

Josie said: "What else can it be, thanks to your help last time."

These words are really quite polite, they were so close just now, but they became so estranged in a blink of an eye, they can be clearly distinguished.After wiping his hands, Fu Bei threw away the paper casually. He leaned his back against the seat and looked straight at Josie. His eyes were too sharp, as if he wanted to see Josie through. After a while, he said, "Mr. It's not my fault that you are busy."

Josie didn't argue, her legs were sore after sitting in one position for a long time, so she got up and wanted to sit on the other side, but just as she got up, Fu Bei stopped her again and directly hugged her on her lap and sat down.

She subconsciously pulled herself up, and Fu Bei clamped her in his arms, "Don't move, wait for a while."

The heating is very good, and the windows on both sides are only opened for ventilation. Even though it is windy outside, the inside of the car is still warm and comfortable. Perhaps it is because of the greed for the temperature in her arms, Josie really didn’t move, she let herself be hugged, and even raised her hand. Looping around Fu Bei, he put his head on the man's neck.

After a long time, Fu Bei asked, "How is Uncle Qiao?"

Josie said, "Didn't you just visit it two days ago?"

"I haven't been there for the past two days, so I don't know the specific situation."

"It's not bad. The doctor said that if you continue like this, you will wake up soon." Josie replied, and accidentally saw Fu Bei's loose shirt, there was a faint imprint left by herself on the collarbone. Hanging low, he said, "What have you been doing lately, have you been in school all this time?"

Fu Bei said, "I went back to the compound a few days ago, and I have something to do."

If I don't say anything specific, I probably don't want to tell the truth.Josie didn't ask any more questions, and leaned on her shoulders, as if she had no bones, and leaned limply. After a while, she was probably a little tired, so she just lay there and closed her eyes, listening quietly to the flow of the river outside. sound.

The water flow under the night is not turbulent, the water reflects the scene of the sky, the lights are dim in the distance, and the outline of the bustling city can be vaguely seen.

This place by the river has a lot of people during the day, and sporadic people at night, but there is no one at this time tonight, so quiet that only the sound of running water can be heard. Today, Josie's temperament is too gentle, lying down docilely, a little tired and lazy diffuse.

"Have a meal together if you have time on the weekend, okay?" Fu Bei asked.

She didn't say anything, she closed her eyelids and didn't move, as if she was thinking about something.

— This is a refusal.

Fu Bei didn't care, and after a while, he said, "Come to the school to find me in two days, and I'll introduce you to someone."

This means to help again.

Josie remained motionless, not knowing if she had listened or not. After a long time, she hummed softly.

The lights in the car were turned on for a few minutes and then turned off again, Josie's shirt was still on, but the tie was so ruined that it would never be used again.

The last time I went to Josie's place that night, it was already noon when I woke up.

The curtains were drawn, and the room was drowsy. The bedside lamp was on, but it wasn't bright enough. Fu Bei came out from under the quilt, hooked Josie up and kissed her, and got all the interest in one go.

Josie put her hands behind her back and accepted the kiss.

Fu Bei didn't leave until after two o'clock in the afternoon. This time, he didn't go back to school directly, but went to the apartment first.

Everything in the company is in order. As long as the top management is not chaotic, there will be no major problems at the bottom. With the strong help of Secretary Chen, Josie can still handle many things well, but she will not participate in the contract dinner unless necessary. by other senior management.

Zhou Meihe didn't do her part, she always wanted to find fault with what happened last time, but she didn't dare to make a big move.She will still come to the company. Before, she wanted to ask Josie to apologize to Boss Lu and ask for peace. She seemed to be holding a chicken feather as an arrow, but when Josie facilitated the cooperation between the company and Boss Ji, she never mentioned it again. These, and most of the company executives who stood on her side before, either defected or were neutral, and a small number were secretly observing, waiting to see what happened next.

Josie resolutely refused to let the Zhou family and Zhou Meihe interfere in the company's affairs. As long as there was any relationship with the Zhou family, it would be dealt with immediately.

She is aware of her current situation, and she is even more aware of the heavy burden on her shoulders. Whether she is willing or not, she has already reached this point, and there is no way.

On the other hand, Josie is also making careful preparations to meet the person Fu Bei mentioned.

Just before that, there was a small accident - she found a document in Qiao Jianliang's office safe, a document that no one else knew and had nothing to do with the company.This little accident was too coincidental. Opening the safe was just an accidental act. At that time, I just wanted to look for previous information. Secretary Fang reminded that there was in the safe. , let alone discover what's inside.When she opened the file and saw the content inside, she couldn't calm down for a long time.

What happened back then was too strange. Qiao Jianliang didn't know when he discovered the clues, let alone when he started to investigate these things. The things he found were far deeper than what Josie knew, and more people were involved.Turning to the last page, there were impressively the names of companies related to the Fu family, and all of these companies had "competed" with the Qiao family's company.

Before, Josie couldn't figure out who was continuing to suppress behind, but now it is clear at a glance.

Josie thought about this possibility, and what he knew became true.

Her palms were dripping with sweat, unable to calm down for a long time.

The sinister under the smiling face is the deadliest.

The next day, Josie went to Jiangda University as scheduled, and went ahead of schedule.

Fu Bei was still in class. She went in during the recess and sat in the last row waiting. At that time, Fu Bei was surrounded by several students asking questions. He couldn't find her immediately. He didn't see her until the class bell rang. He was taken aback for a moment.

Josian sat quietly without disturbing her. The students around her all noticed her and looked at her curiously. They were surprised at first, and then the class bell rang and they all listened carefully.

Fu Bei didn't pack up his textbooks until the class was over and most of the students left.

"Why did you come so early?"

Josie got up and hung the bag on her right shoulder, "I have nothing to do, so I came early."

Because it wasn't time to get off work, and there was still some work to do, Fu Bei took her to the office first.

The professor's office is a single room, which is clean and tidy, not even a single page of paper is misplaced, simple and very styled by this person.While Fu Bei was busy, Josie made tea unceremoniously, and poured a cup for this man by the way.

"Off work at 06:30?" she asked.

Fu Bei said, "Leave at six o'clock."

"There are still a few minutes." She pushed the hot tea in front of this person, did not find a place to sit, looked down, and continued to wait with little patience.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, the two set off without even taking a sip of the brewed tea. Josie didn't even confirm who she was going to meet, so she just followed. She was very unusual today, but the cover-up was too perfect , didn't show it at all, it looked the same as usual.

The person Fu Bei took her to meet was a distant relative of Chen Shuo. The distant relative had a big business and also set foot in the health food business.The other party was very kind and enthusiastic, but it was just a meeting, and he was not so enthusiastic that he immediately expressed his intention to cooperate.

On the way back, Fu Bei drove the car directly to the University City, acquiescing to go with Josie.

But Josie said, "Turn around and go to Qijing Street."

"To your place?" Fu Bei asked.

"Take me home," she said.

Thinking that he had misunderstood, Fu Bei frowned, "What's the matter?"

Josie didn't answer.

At the next intersection, Fu Bei did not turn around.

Looking at the rapidly changing night scene outside the car window, Josie asked indifferently, "Grandpa Fu signaled that Zhihe Company bought Qinghu, and you want to study abroad as a condition?"
