It's late...I'm a little irritable.You are not with me. "

Deng Yi smiled and said, "Just one day."

The car drove through the brightly lit city center and headed towards Zhong Xian's apartment.

Deng Yi explained: "I didn't accompany you to meet the musicians, because I wanted to replace Fourth Brother to participate in a non-important event that must be attended, so that he would have time to personally handle your affairs..."

"I don't care if it can be recorded as an album or not. As long as I have you, it's enough."

Deng Yi laughed: "You're thinking wildly, I'm going to Guangzhou, don't you think..."

"Say you meet someone who makes you feel. What do you do?"

"That person is you." Deng Yi patted Zhong Xian's head after stopping at a red light intersection. "No one else, no one between us. Darling. Look up, it's a fine night."

In the following week, Zhong Xian went to SN Music Company to record albums with musicians.I thought I would see Si Ge often, but Si Ge never watched his recording at all.It's right to think about it, that person is just helping the most beloved younger brother to fulfill his wish for a friend, other than that, he is so busy, how can he have time.

One weekend night, Zhong Xian followed Deng Yi to a small party.

Only when we arrived at the scene did we know that it was an internal party after the HQC Real Estate Carnival.

After Zhong Xian's trip to Hangzhou, he saw Emperor Kai again.At the party, Deng Yi didn't talk to Emperor Kai, so Zhong Xian stayed in a corner with Deng Yi.Towards the end, Zhong Xian accidentally ran into Kaidi in the bathroom.

"Everyone knows the friendship between you and my brother." Emperor Kai's huge figure blocked the door, and Zhong Xian couldn't get in or out.Emperor Kai looked Zhong Xian up and down, "What kind of trick did you use to make my younger brother want to be your friend? I also accidentally discovered that you had something to do with my HY project, did you provide materials for my building? "

"It's just some auxiliary materials." Zhong Xian said in a low-key manner.

"Plate? Steel?"

"Just some calcium-silicon boards."

"negligible."

"Yes."

"Last year, a batch of unqualified materials were cleared out, and those who made troubles in HQC's projects have always ended up miserable."

Zhong Xian responded unhurriedly: "I only provided some small materials, so I don't have the ability to make trouble."

Emperor Kai didn't mean to give way, and crossed his hands and said, "Being friends with my younger brothers is a skill. You don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so you'd better retreat when you face difficulties."

"What's the meaning!"

Deng Qian appeared behind Emperor Kai at this time: "Second brother, you have a friend here. It's in the hall over there."

Emperor Kai glanced at Zhong Xian, turned around and left.

"Don't take it to heart." Deng Qian said to Zhong Xian who bowed his head and said nothing. "He's just that style."

"I'm going back to my hometown for a while."

Dake wore a weird dark green peaked cap on his head with a cherry blossom on it, which kept dangling in front of Zhong Xian, just like Tang Bohu's movie appearance. "Go back to Suzhou. My mother is sick."

"You haven't been back for many years, right?" Zhong Xian said.The striped shadows of the office shutters were printed on his smooth jade face.

Dake nodded.The green tassel on the hat shook more violently.His small eyes didn't seem to wake up. "More than three years. Never went back."

"That's why you should go back. I'll get you some supplements from abroad, and you can take them back to your parents. When will you leave?"

"Uh... the weekend."

Zhong Xian ordered some European pole protein/powder from Deng Yi, prepared a gift bag before Saturday and delivered it to Dake in person.

Dake stood in front of his rented apartment with his head down. "The room is too messy, so don't go in." He took Zhong Xian's gift bag and held it in his hand, tightly holding the handle of the golden rope of the gift bag.

"Have a meal together and see you off." Zhong Xian said with a smile.

Dake shook his head: "The first flight tomorrow morning will go to the airport in the middle of the night. I'm going to sleep first." After a long pause, he said, "I'll let Euro Airlines take care of the construction site. If you have any questions, feel free to call me .”

"How long is it estimated to go back?"

"Not sure, about a week. Take my mother to check her body."

"What happened to your mother? You need money and tell me." Zhong Xian said.

Dake nodded, and only glanced at Zhong Xian before closing the door. "Let's go," he said.

After bidding farewell to Dake, Zhong Xian came to the parking lot downstairs, feeling very uncomfortable.

In the name of a partner, Dake has been with him for three years. Although he hasn't made any big money, he has his shadow in every step.No matter how many deficiencies the major departments have, they have formed a dependence on each other in the days of supporting each other.

Zhong Xian looked at the humid sky and sent Dake a WeChat message: [I forgot to tell you just now.I've landed another new project, and this time we'll be making seven figures. ]

Dake replied with a happy expression.Didn't ask any more questions.

Zhong Xian didn't just talk about the so-called new project. He did receive a call from an old customer, asking him to cooperate in the project and supply to Party B's decoration company.It was only later that I found out that the party A of the new project was actually HQC.

He didn't mention this to Deng Yi.I plan to tell him after I get the supply contract.He didn't want Deng Yi to have any doubts because of their relationship.Their feelings should not be mixed with impurities, and all possibility of being misunderstood should be avoided.

After Dake left, Ouhang temporarily took over the construction site.At the Huizhou factory, a foreman was temporarily handed over to supervise the production.

Zhong Xian should have driven more to have a look.But he didn't want to miss any time with Deng Yi.Simply put everything about the factory and the construction site behind you.

He knew that Deng Yi had done more for him than what he had paid.Just two days ago, he heard a rare argument between Deng Yi and the fourth brother. The content of the argument was that Deng Yi refused to go on a business trip abroad, and the fourth brother didn't understand why he became stubborn.

"Didn't you take the initiative to ask to share foreign affairs before?" The fourth brother rarely looked angry. "Are you talking casually?"

It was the first time Zhong Xian saw the Deng brothers quarreling.

Only Zhong Xian understood the reason why Deng Yi didn't want to leave.Going abroad means that they have to separate.After Hangzhou, they have never been apart for more than 24 hours.

"You shouldn't refuse." Zhong Xian took the initiative to say to Deng Yi after some inner struggle.

Deng Yi seemed indifferent: "You heard the conversation between me and the fourth brother. I won't go. It's not because of you. It's because I have no role at all. Why go."

"But you ever asked to go to a foreign branch?"

"Yes. Before—my father forced me to go back to China, and I didn't want to come back—I told my fourth brother that I would share foreign affairs. I changed my mind. It's my fault, it's okay, just apologize to him."

"This time is just a short-term business trip, right?"

"A week."

"A week goes by quickly."

"You really want me to?"

"Maybe we can try to separate."

"What do you mean?" Deng Yi frowned.His complexion changed drastically.

"I don't want you to influence too much because of me."

"What's the impact? It's not that I have to go, the fourth brother will take care of it."

"Fourth brother again." Zhong Xian muttered in a low voice.

Deng Yi thought for a moment, then looked at Zhong Xian thoughtfully: "I never thought that you and fourth brother..."

"Don't get me wrong." Zhong Xian said hastily.

"When I mentioned you recently, the fourth brother would show an expression like you just now, 'Do you have to mention him every day?' His tone was similar to yours, or he just didn't want to listen to it. I think he is jealous of you." Deng Yi laughed.

"Jealous of me?"

"From childhood, I have been closest to him. Now he must feel that my 'friendship' to you exceeds my dependence on him. He is not used to it. It is normal to complain a few words." Deng Yi pulled Zhong Xian's hand hand, "Can you understand? For me."

Zhong Xian nodded speciously: "Fourth brother, doesn't he have a girlfriend?"

"He's not jealous of you because he's bored, he's just used to taking care of me. Sooner or later, this is a necessary process."

"You said he was going to get married..."

"He can get married anytime he wants. There is no one who puts him in shackles willingly. Sooner or later, there will be such a person." Deng Yi stroked Zhong Xian's head, smiling like a crescent moon. "How lucky we are. The fourth brother is an attractive person. I don't understand why you don't like him."

"Why do I have to like it? He helped me. Isn't it enough for me to be grateful?"

"You don't need to hide it from me. You don't even want to mention the name of your fourth brother recently. You look so annoyed. I can't figure out where you have conflicts."

"Probably I was afraid that he would suspect us." Zhong Xian found an excuse.But his heart was churning like the waves of the sea in a storm - he knew well that it was not that the fourth brother didn't like him.At the last party, the fourth brother Deng Qian also helped him out of the siege - he resisted Kaidi's 'attack' for him.The subtlety of understanding.It's impossible not to feel grateful.

The fourth brother is far better at understanding people's hearts than Deng Yi.

Deng Yi seems unable to understand the complexity of human emotions.His emotional model is inherently impervious to a speck of dust.Psychology courses hadn't made up for his innocence in that respect—he couldn't see beneath the surface of people he trusted, and the two people closest to him didn't really hate each other.

Zhong Xian felt guilty.

"I don't want you to go abroad. I don't want to be separated from you even for a minute. But we can't... live in fairy tales. Never be affected by ordinary things."

Deng Yi seemed optimistic: "Why not."

Although Deng Yi did not go abroad, he went to Hong Kong on a business trip in the next day, and was expected to return to Shenzhen in two days. He was going with his father, so he couldn't bring Zhong Xian with him.Zhong Xian promised him that he would record the album well in the next two days, and he could record at least one song when he came back.

On the first day Deng Yi left, the fourth brother Deng Qian
