I'm really sorry for my low EQ.

"Primary school brother, stand to the side."

Xu Yang was wearing a DSLR and bent down to take pictures of Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan stood under the big sycamore tree, his body was stiff, and the corners of his mouth were stretched into a straight line. ,45-degree angle."

Wu Yuan didn't know how to take pictures at all, he raised his head subconsciously, the leaves swayed with the wind, the mottled light and shadow fell on his face like dark embroidery, his eyelashes fluttered with the golden color of the sun, Xu Yang immediately pressed the shutter, and went over to show him. Said: "Not bad?"

"Yeah." Wu Yuan nodded, except for his own stiff expression, the photo was very good in terms of color processing, angle and exposure, but Xu Yang thought his photos were so cute, so he took several pictures in succession, Wu Yuan The corners of the mouth were stiff, and suddenly the shoulders were hooked, Xu Yang put his arms around him and turned the sheet around, and the two took a selfie.

Xu Yang looked smug, while Wu Yuan looked bewildered.

Rows of sycamore trees stand on both sides of the avenue, and the small European-style houses behind are exquisite and elegant. Xu Yang drags Wu Yuan into one small shop after another, and puts him in a jazz hat for a while, and makes him stand on the bookshelf for a while. After taking a picture, he took out the mineral water bottle not long after, and pulled him over to drink water. Wu Yuan frowned when he heard the shutter sound after taking two sips.

"Senior, you didn't go shopping." Wu Yuan handed him the water.

Xu Yang took a sip from his hand, wiped off the water stains on Wu Yuan's lips, and said with a smile, "I've been shopping all the time, haven't I?"

Wu Yuan: "You took a photo."

Xu Yang suddenly found a perfect spot, and pushed his chin towards the old leather sofa, "Student, sit there."

Wu Yuan: "..."

Xu Yang checked the photo, the corner of his clothes was pulled down, turned around, Wu Yuan looked at him with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, Xu Yang felt sweet in his heart, bent down to ask him to put it on for himself, and smugly in the mirror: "Yes ~" After complimenting himself, he turned to Wu Yuan, waiting for his compliment: "Does it look good?"

Xu Yang never wore a frame, his facial features were profound, and when he was not smiling, he was full of contemptuous arrogance, but at this moment, he was restrained under the black frame, adding an intellectual and elegant bookish air for no reason, Xu Yang saw Wu Yuan looking at him Without speaking, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Just think it looks good to you."

Wu Yuan pursed his lips, took the glasses and handed them to the boss: "Hi, I want to buy this."

The man's strength exploded.

Xu Yang: "..."

He hurriedly stepped forward to pay the money, and bought a few books he liked for Wu Yuan. He felt at ease, holding the kraft paper bag on his shoulder with his back hand, and he came out of the small shop with Wu Yuan in his arms, wrapping his arms around his neck. Holding the strategy guide in his other hand, he said, "The boss said that there is a pork rib rice cake in this street that is delicious. I'll take you there."

Wu Yuan stuck close to him in this wonderful posture, and nodded: "Okay."

"Let me see how to get there..." Xu Yang rested his chin on his head, glanced at the map, "Go there."

Wu Yuan was pulled by him.

There are Fafeng small buildings on both sides, Xu Yang said as he walked: "Do you still remember the new project I told you last time, it will start soon."

Wu Yuan's eyes lit up, he looked up at him, Xu Yang looked back at him, with a smile on his eyes and brows: "In Dongxing District, the style is very similar to here, we are going to build a European-style town in Xincheng this time, Commercial and residential complexes, shopping malls and housing are all in the style of old mansions—”

Wu Yuan listened without blinking his eyes.

Xu Yang looked down at his widening eyes, and smiled deeper. He wanted Wu Yuan to see him working hard, "We will also introduce five-star hotels, health resorts, and form our own product format. Let it become a cultural tourism real estate in the new city after it matures in the future, and pull up the surrounding business districts together.”

Confident eyebrows folded into the eyes of the sun, Wu Yuan did not look away for a long time, his face was gently scratched by Xu Yang's knuckles, and the handsome face with a smile moved closer——

"How is it?" Xu Yang looked at him expectantly.

Wu Yuan said seriously: "Very good."

Xu Yang's heart relaxed, he tightened his arms around him, and said in awe: "Of course."

This is the first time Wu Yuan has heard details about the new project.

Xu Yang kept it a secret from him before, wanting him to look forward to it, and he kept looking forward to it in his heart. He wondered what the new project would look like several times, but he didn't expect that the plan far exceeded his expectations—a commercial complex like this, in It is almost rare in the new city. Once it is implemented, the effect will be unimaginable. It will no longer only benefit the owners who buy houses, but it will even make great contributions to the surrounding residents and the economic development of the entire region.

What Xu Yang is doing is such meaningful work.

Or even say, works.

Wu Yuan: "Senior."

Xu Yang: "Huh?"

Wu Yuan raised his head and smiled at him: "Come on."

Xu Yang's breath was stagnant.

"En." After an unknown number of seconds, he nodded with a smile, his gaze fell on Wu Yuan's face gently, and he said firmly: "Definitely."

How many times can a person fight hard in his life?

Xu Yang doesn't remember whether he has really worked hard in the past few years. After all, he does everything easily. I got it in my age.

Originally a relaxed life, because of this person beside him, he gave birth to the idea of ​​fighting hard.

If you want to fight once, show it to him, let him know how good you are, and let him watch him all the time.

The rustling of sycamore leaves was heard above his head, and the cool breeze of early summer swirled around him. Xu Yang took a few steps with Wu Yuan in silence. Seeing that the shop selling ribs and rice cakes was in front of him, he was about to speak when the wind suddenly blew A sharp roar—

"Why do you have the face to appear here?!"

The two were startled at the same time, looking forward, in a long and narrow alley, a couple was standing at the intersection with a little boy, and a tall man was standing opposite, the wife pointed at the man and scolded hoarsely: "You Isn’t it bad enough to hurt our family? How dare you show up in front of us? Get out of here—Get out!!!”

She rushed over to push the man, she was small, but she had amazing explosive power when she was angry, the man was pushed by her and staggered, hit the wall, he didn't fight back, his head was bowed, his back was arched, he didn't say a word, he was silent The wife's anger was further ignited, she rushed up like crazy, but was stopped by her husband, she could only lean forward and shout at the tall man: "You killed my husband's parents! Do you think it's been two years? Can we forget? Why did you show up in front of us? You won’t recommend me a house again, right? Haha, who do you want to hurt this time?”

"A Ling," the husband whispered, without looking at the tall man, he only said to his wife, "It's a bit too much." After a pause, he forced out a hoarse sentence: "After all, he helped We paid off our debt."

"That's what he owes us!!!" The wife's voice was shrill, and the little boy cried out in fright, and hugged his mother's leg, "Oh, mom... this is Uncle Qin, what's the matter with you?"

Wu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words "Uncle Qin", only to realize that the tall man's back and attire were very familiar. His hair was messy like wild grass. The little boy sniffed, and suddenly went to hold the man's hand : "Uncle Qin, why didn't you come to my house to play again? I miss you very much. Did you quarrel with your parents? Hurry up and have a good time? Okay?"

The man lowered his head even lower, and the moment the little boy took his hand, his back trembled violently. With a "snap", his wife rushed over and split their hands, picked up the child, and shouted Said: "He is not your Uncle Qin! We don't know him! Don't call him Uncle Qin again!"

The sharp howling sound resounded in the alley. The boy's face was flushed, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He stretched out his hand towards the man, but was hugged further and further away by his mother. In the narrow space, even the sound of the wind became cold and shrill. Only the husband and the tall man were left at the intersection. The man was still the same as before, without saying a word, but his back became even more hunchbacked.

The husband still didn't look at him, the dust on the ground was blown up by the wind, resentment flashed in his eyes for a moment, and then was covered by something more complicated. In the end, he didn't say anything, turned around and left the lane with his wife.

The man was leaning against the brick wall, Tongshan Road was busy, everyone was attracted by his wife's voice just now, and looked at him with different expressions.The sound of the lighter rubbing sounded, the man lowered his head, a wisp of white smoke ignited between his fingers, he turned back with the cigarette in his mouth, and then saw Xu Yang and Wu Yuan standing by the road.

"Ah."

This is the first word he has said since just now. Rather than a word, it is more like a temperless voice. Two points of soot flew out from the cigarette butt. He smiled at the two of them: "Coincidentally, in meet here."

Wu Yuan didn't speak, Xu Yang walked forward and smiled back at him very naturally, "It's a coincidence, Director Qin, long time no see."

Qin Jing lazily said: "When did General Manager Xu come?"

Xu Yang: "Last night."

Qin Jing nodded, there was no more to say, he seemed not very interested in the two people in front of him, he put one hand in his pocket, "Have fun, the upper city is pretty good, you two come to Linjiang to have a look at night, the night view is good , you can see the Pearl Tower."

Xu Yang: "OK."

Wu Yuan glanced at him, Xu Yang received the signal and smiled, "Has Director Qin eaten lunch? If not, let's eat together? Long time no see, let's catch up."

"No need," Qin Jing didn't know what to talk about with them, "I just went out to buy a pack of cigarettes, and I'm going back."

"Director Qin, why are you being polite, it's not far anyway," Xu Yang raised his chin towards the pork ribs and rice cake stand in front of him, "It's right there, two steps away."

Qin Jing: "..."

The food stall is on the side of the road in front, with two rows of doors and a few small tables at the door, where a few locals sit and chat while eating. Xu Yang walks along the steps with long legs and goes to line up first. Wu Principle finds a seat , helping the three occupy it, he sat on a plastic chair, facing Qin Jing's back.

Qin Jing stood at the door smoking, this is the second one, his messy hair was blown by the wind and covered his face, he is actually very young, but his face already has an old look, not the skin, but the eyes, say no The vicissitudes of life are turbid.

When Qin Jing smoked the third cigarette, Xu Yang came back, and Wu Yuan went to help him get a piece of it. Qin Jing also crushed the cigarette when he saw it, and gave him a hand. There were three large plates of pork rib rice cakes, and some fried spring rolls. Qin Jing smiled: "You two are quite good at choosing places, only locals know about this place."

He walked all the way just now with a steady tone, and he even kept a smile on his face. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, no one would believe that he was pointed at his nose and scolded in the lane just now. Xu Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: " Is it? It seems that my strategy was not in vain."

While speaking, he pulled Wu Yuan's plate over and poured spicy soy sauce on him carefully. The pork ribs were crispy and the rice cakes were soft and glutinous. He took a bite and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

The rice cake exuded the fragrance of glutinous rice in his mouth. Wu Yuan held the corners of his lips and poured soy sauce on him as well. Qin Jing watched the interaction between the two, the corners of his mouth twitched like an elder looking at a junior, and he continued to eat with his head down.

Xu Yang glanced at him and chatted: "Director Qin, I heard that you used to work in Zhongjing Group?"

Qin Jing frowned, and answered briefly: "Yes."

Xu Yang: "When Zhongjing was the most popular, I was abroad, and those slab buildings in Linjiang District belonged to them?"

He asked the question knowingly, observing Qin Jing's expression, Qin Jing's expression remained unchanged, "Ah, the house was five years ago."

Xu Yang frowned and looked thoughtful: "I heard that Zhongjing's scale in Shangcheng was larger than that of Wanhong in those few years. Later, there was an equity dispute within the group and it started to go downhill. The last project two years ago turned out to be a bad one. In the last building, there was a lot of trouble defending the rights of the owners.”

Qin Jing's chopsticks flicked on the plate, his eyelids drooped, and he said with a smile: "Is that so, I don't have much impression."

His voice was very hoarse, as if he was blocked by rice cakes, or was blocked by some kind of airflow from his chest and lungs. He quickly finished eating the pork rib rice cakes on the plate. Qin Jing wiped his mouth and took out dozens of pieces. The money was put on the table, and he stood up with his head supported: "Suddenly remembered, the cat at home hasn't been fed yet, I'm leaving first, you two eat slowly."

Although he knew it was inappropriate to mention it at this time, Wu Yuan was still stunned: "Does Director Qin have a cat at home?"

Qin Jing laughed and said, "It's very unworthy."

Wu Yuan's lips moved: "No... I'm just, a little surprised."

After such a short period of time, Qin Jing already had an extra cigarette in his mouth, "I picked it up on the road, it looked pitiful, so I took it back and raised it."

Wu Yuan looked at him. From last week until now, he has always felt that Qin Jing is unpredictable, and his lazy and tolerant attitude has become an excuse for everyone in the upper city to indulge. But now, he feels that behind Qin Jing's laziness, there is a deep For some huge and helpless reason, he could no longer look at him with a critical eye.

Qin Jing turned sideways, biting the smoke and puffing out the clouds, "Then I'll go first."

Xu Yang: "Director Qin."

Qin Jing paused, Xu Yang put down his chopsticks, and laid his long legs leisurely under the table, but his eyes were very sharp: "The past has passed, there is no need to worry about it, and use the past experience to torture the present." It's not the behavior of a smart person."

With the backlight, Qin Jing's expression couldn't be seen clearly, he paused for a long time, and he seemed to smile.

"I'm not a smart person," he said with a shrug. "I'm an old man, and I've been out of step with the times."

Turning around, new diners came in soon, covering his back, Wu Yuan looked away, "Senior, what do you mean by what you just told him?"

As soon as Qin Jing left, Xu Yang moved the chair towards him, and the distance between the two was very close. He first pushed some snacks in front of Wu Yuan, put them on his plate, and said: "The couple in the alley just now, You see it."

Wu Yuan hummed, "Senior knows about them?"

Xu Yang: "I don't know, but I can almost guess that the unfinished real estate project of Zhongjing Group two years ago got tens of millions from the owners when they ran away. At that time, hundreds of people held banners at the gate of the government to defend their rights. Zi should be one of those people who bought the house from Qin Jing, and the woman said that two years ago, the time would be right."

Wu Yuan was startled, "But she said that Director Qin harmed her family..."

At that time, the wife's state was close to madness. She didn't know how much she could believe. Xu Yang rested his chin on his palm, looked at his plate, and said softly, "Eat more."

Wu Yuan took another sip, raised his head quickly, and waited for him to continue. Xu Yang looked at his wide-open eyes, laughed, and wiped the corner of his lips, "It's hard to tell if there is a trouble about rights protection. I don't know what happened, the woman said that, maybe it was out of anger, or it could be for some other reason, but if Qin Jing really killed someone, her husband and her child would not have that attitude."

Wu Yuan lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.He still remembers the scene when the little boy was crying and holding Qin Jing's hand. Children are the most innocent. To be able to hold Qin Jing without hesitation, he must have regarded him as a family member in his heart. It can be seen that Qin Jing was with Qin Jing at the beginning. How good their family relationship is.

……

"Do you know what is the most taboo thing in the sales industry?"

"It's getting too close to the customer."

……

They are so close that when something unexpected happens, the first to be stabbed is the closest to each other.

Even if you tried your best to turn the tide.

"Hello? Ah, Mom."

In the old apartment building, Qin Jing went upstairs with a bag of cat food, opened the door, and a black cat rushed over and rubbed his calf affectionately.

"Ah Jing," the middle-aged woman's hoarse voice rang on the phone, "The begonias in our yard are blooming, and they are blooming very well."

"Really..." Qin Jing smiled.

"When will you go home and look at the flowers, and...by the way, look at your parents—"

"Well, I'll go back when I have time." Qin Jing scratched the cat's chin and poured out the cat's food with the phone under his shoulder.

"You always say that you have time and time. Everyone is in the same city. Don't you even have an hour to go home?" The woman's voice raised, Qin Jing didn't speak, she choked up, and her voice softened again, " Mom really misses you, and so does your father, don't you want to be that director of real estate for a long time, then don't do it, come back and help your father's company..."

Qin Jing sat on the ground, watching the cat eat, "I have to do it."

Hearing his leisurely tone, the woman became anxious again: "Didn't the family pay off all their debts before? Ah Jing, mom didn't mean you. You were just their sales back then. The developers owed them money. The government should go after them! Why should you pay them back? There is no such thing!"

Qin Jing hugged the cat to his body, and the cat curled up in his arms obediently. He stroked its fur, and then slowly, without audible emotion, said: "Because I killed someone."

"What kills people! That's why they blackmailed you into saying that. At that time, so many people were defending their rights—"

"Mom." Qin Jing leaned against the wall and raised his head, "Do you know what Grandma Yuan called me?"

"..."

"She also calls me Ah Jing, and Grandpa Yuan, who treats me very well. When Liangliang was so young, she would pour water for me the day I went to their house. Their family often does charity work, giving The children in the mountains donated money, eight out of ten yuan, and the whole family was not rich in the first place, and that real estate..." His voice suddenly became muffled, and he pressed his brows hard.

"Ah Jing..."

Qin Jing took a deep breath, "That real estate is an economical house, which sells cheaper than other buildings. I think it suits them, and I want to help them..."

"Mom knows."

"But..." Qin Jing scratched his hair, the black cat in his arms raised his head, something cool fell on his face, he jumped away with a meow, and looked at the trembling master from a distance.

But things happened too quickly.

The real estate was unfinished, so much money was invested, and the owners were arguing. He hired the best lawyer at his own expense and paid for the legal fees. Before the lawsuit was settled, he heard the news that Grandma Yuan had fainted at the rights protection scene...

That house used up almost all their savings, and they had no money to treat Grandma Yuan.

For that family, it seemed that overnight, it turned upside down.

Qin Jing remembered that when he knocked on the door of Yuan's house with his savings for many years and a check borrowed from his father, he was met with the cold eyes of Mr. Yuan's wife.

Only then did he know that Grandma Yuan had left.

As soon as Grandma Yuan left, Grandpa Yuan also left not long after.

If the house hadn't been recommended to them, even though the whole family lived under a small roof, they would still be living happily now.

If they hadn't recommended that house to them...

"But the debt has been paid off."

The woman sighed compromisingly, and discussed carefully, "Ah Jing, you are too tired, go home and have a rest. Mom will make you your favorite stewed pork ribs with lotus root, okay? Don't work in the sales department anymore. I did, Mom didn't tell you before, but I actually went to your place to see once, and the children there..."

The woman paused, omitting the criticism, "I don't think they need you, don't you go there too often?"

"That's different," Qin Jing said hoarsely, looking at the ceiling, "If I'm here, they won't make the same mistakes as me."

Nor will he let them make the same mistakes he made.

The woman had a headache and said: "Oh, they are not children anymore, do they still need you to protect them?"

Qin Jing lowered his eyes and smiled.

It would have been nice if someone had protected him at the time.

Tell him righteously, don't approach customers, don't joke with them, and don't try to talk to them.

A call came in, Qin Jing looked at the caller ID, explained to his mother, and connected.

"Director Qin, come and save me!"

Song Can lost all face and dignity in a panic, and yelled into the phone, "My car broke down on the highway!"

Qin Jing: "..."

Song Can: "Did you hear that?"

Qin Jing: "...Which highway?"

Song Can didn't hear the hoarseness in his voice, and said something quickly, Qin Jing picked up the car key, "Okay, wait."

"Hurry up!"

At night, Xu Yang took Wu Yuan on a cruise ship to see the night view of Linjiang.

The bright Pearl Tower was inlaid in the night sky like a jewel, and the wind on the boat was a bit strong. Xu Yang was afraid that Wu Yuan would be cold, so he hugged Wu Yuan from behind. Is it cold?"

Xu Yang smiled and said: "I'm not cold, I'm afraid you are cold."

Wu Yuan turned around and hugged him, and said softly, "I'm not cold either."

Xu Yang suddenly lifted the hat on his coat. The brim of the hat was so big that it even covered Wu Yuan's face. He lowered his head to look for Wu Yuan's lips. With a touch of light, he saw Wu Yuan's eyelashes trembling slightly, then he closed his eyes and deepened the kiss.

When Wu Yuan got off the boat, his face was still hot.

The two ate meat and rice at noon, played all afternoon and watched the night view until now they felt hungry, Xu Yang found a big restaurant with local dishes in Shangcheng, ordered a few dishes carefully, and sure enough, each dish The cooking was exquisite, Xu Yang usually doesn't like to eat those shelled things, but when Wu Yuan sat next to him, he ate it more happily than anyone else. On the way back, he said that he would go to that place next time.

Wu Yuan smiled shallowly, listening to him, and remained silent.

It was only after eight o'clock when we got home, and after playing for a day, the two took a bath one after another. When Xu Yang came out, he thought that Wu Yuan didn't have much entertainment at home, so he offered to take him to play poker.Wu Yuan has almost never played. He often stayed alone in high school, and he had no friends because he was a day student in college. No one invited him, so he has only "heard" the level of poker games. .

Xu Yang patiently taught him little by little, and easily defeated Wu Yuan in the first two hands. He was startled, and was about to let his elementary school students see his strength in card games, but he didn't expect Wu Yuan His learning ability is amazing. From the third hand, the situation began to change. It was different from the ease and ease of the first two hands. Xu Yang frowned. Every time he played a card, he had to think about it for a long time, although in the end, he won more. But because Wu Yuan hadn't played before, not including those two, the two were actually quite equal in strength.

Xu Yang has been practicing poker with Xu Miao at home since elementary school, and he has rarely lost since high school. Seeing him looking at him with complicated eyes, Wu Yuan asked calmly, "Senior, what's wrong?"

Xu Yang spread his cards and said with a smile, "It's nothing, you are too good."

Wu Yuan pursed his lips: "Not as good as the senior."

While playing cards, there was a TV on next to it, and a prime-time variety show was playing on it. Xu Yang looked up and immediately showed disgust: "Isn't this an [-]th-tier star?"

Wu Yuan looked over and said softly, "Ah, Mr. Gu."

This variety show is only eligible for popular stars. Although Gu Qi was a bit better than the [-]th line last year, but with the qualifications of the [-]th or [-]th line, he can only be envious of this kind of show. I didn't expect the big IP drama to be popular this year. It became popular in an instant, and now it is also a frequent visitor to various prime time spots.

Xu Yang heard Wu Yuan call "Mr. Gu" word by word, he was a little jealous, he went over to throw Wu Yuan, just touched Wu Yuan's very itchy spot, Wu Yuan flinched slightly, couldn't help it After laughing, Xu Yang saw how cute his smile was, so he also raised the corners of his mouth, and refused to let go, so he just put his arms around him and watched TV together.

Xu Yang complained about Gu Qi's hairstyle and clothing.

The atmosphere in the show was very joyful. Gu Qi was playing games with the actress of the previous co-drama. The two had three legs. From time to time, there would be a little ambiguity in the eyes. The scene was full of pink bubbles. Xu Yang smiled: "I was still in the studio before. Tell me about this actress, saying that her fans often go to his Weibo to blackmail him."

Wu Yuan: "..."

There were screams at the scene, Gu Qi held the actress high, Wu Yuan thought about what Xu Yang said just now, pursed his lips, suddenly the phone vibrated, he was taken aback when he saw the message, because it was actually from Xu Yang—— —

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

The sound of the TV was suddenly cut off as if it had been silenced.

As if being stabbed in the chest, Wu Yuan raised his head and found that Xu Yang's gaze had shifted from the TV to him at some point. He smiled softly, with a touch of sadness in his amber pupils. He didn't speak, just laughed, Wu Yuan's heart was clenched tightly, he opened his mouth to say something, but the sourness in his heart blocked his throat.

The two were silent until Xu Yang rubbed Wu Yuan's head and got up to get him a glass of water, but failed because Wu Yuan suddenly grabbed his hand.

His hand was slippery and still a little cold, he held Xu Yang's hand inch by inch, and pulled him back to his side.The moment Xu Yang was held by him, he held his breath. When Wu Yuan let go of his hand, he didn't let him go. It wasn't until Wu Yuan raised his eyes to look at him, that he had been lowering his eyes just now, that Xu Yang realized his dark eyes. At this moment, it is faint, like water waves scooping up the silver moon.

Xu Yang's heart beat wildly unexpectedly.

Wu Yuan's fingertips trembled from the scalding of his gaze, and he slowly raised his hand, Xu Yang's pupils tightened little by little, watching his hand slowly land on his pajamas, and untied the first button on top. buttons.
