hope and gift

Teng Jiangyan was picked up by Elen who had been waiting for a long time as soon as he left the airport. I have to say that Elen picked up people in a very unique way—three awkward Chinese nameplates with "Teng Jiangyan" on the car were waiting for him to come. Find it yourself.However, this method did not attract much attention from others, probably because the three characters on the sign were too difficult to distinguish.

As soon as he got in the car, Elen immediately handed him a small blanket very considerately, and said, "Go to sleep for a while, your jet lag is definitely not reversed, this place is a bit far from home, and there is still a long way to go."

Teng Jiangyan was so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he couldn't even reach out his hands, so he took the blanket and fell asleep. .

Tom probably felt that the man didn't respond, which was really boring, so he simply jumped on his lap, snorted a few times, curled up into a ball, and fell asleep.

After taking Teng Jiangyan to say hello to her grandparents, Elen asked Teng Jiangyan to stay at her house while she was learning languages.Since Elen is usually busy with work, the house is always empty, and even the cat can only be sent to a pet care place to stay, and she is almost not familiar with it.It just so happened that Teng Jiangyan came, so she could take care of Tom for her by the way, which was her wish fulfilled.

However, life in Oslo is not as easy as imagined. Although the pace of life here is not fast, Teng Jiangyan is not used to the food and things used.But after living there for a while, he also became a carnivore because of the price of vegetables. Eating sandwiches and drinking coffee, he can still feel a kind of inexplicable comfort from the bottom of his heart. The only shortcoming is probably that he doesn’t know Mu Xiao’s What's up.

There are two reasons for this. One is that he does not know how to bypass the wall. Many softwares in China are directly unusable. He really cannot receive the latest information about Mu Xiao. The other is that he does not want to contact Mu Xiao at all. , and it's not because of too much hatred and resentment that he doesn't get along with each other forever, the main reason is that he doesn't want to know how Mu Xiao and Sun Yunyun are doing, no matter whether it is good or bad.

Probably because he got used to parting, so that now it might be a permanent parting, and he also felt that there was nothing to keep.After all, it's useless to keep it. It's better to treat this relationship as a past and bury it in your heart with memories.

But even though this is what he said, people's hearts are really fleshy, and they can't be so cold and ruthless.

Teng Jiangyan touched his heart and looked at the snow-capped city outside the window. He didn't know when, every time he thought of the name Mu Xiao, it would affect his whole body. can not breath.

Since I don't want to stay, why do I still feel so painful?

Lying on Teng Jiangyan's body, Tom seemed a little dissatisfied with Teng Jiangyan's daze. It stretched out its paws and crawled on him, trying to wake up the distracted man.As it wished, Teng Jiangyan was brought back to his mind by it. With a sad face, he lowered his head and gently pinched his paws, turned him over and rubbed the soft hair on his stomach.

Logically speaking, Mu Xiao might even have a child after this year, can he really let it go?

Thinking of this, he squeezed Tom's chin hard, looked at those innocent cat eyes, and said angrily, "I know it's troublesome, there's nothing good about it."

Teng Jiangyan put down the cat and went to the living room to get some food, but found that Elen, who is usually very busy, had time to sit leisurely on the sofa and seriously put on makeup today.

"You look a lot better than usual today." Teng Jiangyan looked in the mirror behind the sofa with a glass of milk, and couldn't help but feel a touch of happiness after seeing Elen who was beaming with joy.

"That's for sure. I dressed up very hard to go out to meet people today. By the way, your nationality has been approved, and I will bring back the bank card to you in a few days." Elen picked up a stack of contracts, turned around and handed it to you. Teng Jiangyan said with a smile: "Chinese customers, I can't handle it, you can go."

"The signing of the contract is very important. It's not good for me to do it for you..." Teng Jiangyan had a headache for this unreliable aunt, but she still took over the contract habitually. Anyway, this is not the first time.

Elen asked the question about the satchel, looking as if she had packed up and was about to go out. She handed Teng Jiangyan a business card and said: "After reading this contract, I don't really want to sign it, because the other party is a small company that just went public. If you want to intervene in the oil industry here from across the country, you really overestimate yourself. You can just give him my business card after listening to the other person, smart people know what it means."

"Is that so, it's because you don't want to reimburse your employees for meals, so you let me go?" Teng Jiangyan laughed when he heard this, and took a cursory look at the contract.

"Meal expenses are trivial. The main reason is that the other party made an appointment in a very high-end hotel. The consumption here is very high. I guess that small company has also paid for it. Why don't you enjoy it." Elen stretched out her arms across the river. Yan, carrying a smell of perfume, came over and kissed him on the cheek, "I'm leaving, you eat well."

After seeing Teng Jiangyan waving goodbye, Elen went out wearing high heels like a wind, rushing as if her butt was on fire.Resigned to his fate, he went to the closet to find a suitable suit, combed his short-cut hair to refresh himself, put the contract in the folder and went out.

The location chosen by the other party was a very high-end restaurant. After Teng Jiangyan arrived in the hotel as scheduled, he was sitting in the seat that the other party had set for him and began to wait for someone.He came a little early, as he always did, because it would have been too embarrassing for him to make people wait.But the atmosphere of this restaurant really made him feel that it was too high-end, so he didn't dare to take a sip. Looking at the dishes served by the waiter in front of him one after another, he really had no way to start, so he just picked up the one on the side. Read magazines.

The other party is a very punctual person, almost arriving in seconds.After he sat down across from Teng Jiangyan like the wind, Teng Jiangyan put down his hand and read the magazine for a long time, and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Sorry, the plane is late."

The man's English was not very fluent, but the accent was not bad.Teng Jiangyan slowed down for a while, and then his blurred vision became clear, and he saw a half-hanging head in front of him bowing his head to apologize to him.

Teng Jiangyan raised his eyebrows, and said with interest: "Your English is a bit poor, and I don't feel comfortable listening to it. We can communicate in Chinese. Of course, I don't mind if you want to use Norwegian. I just passed the test. "

The man looked up at Teng Jiangyan in astonishment, and he and Teng Jiangyan were both stunned by this one glance.

The person who came was actually Mu Xiao.

Some kind of emotion poured out of his heart like a burst embankment, which made Teng Jiangyan's heart beat twice, and there was a bit of bitterness in his mouth, so bitter that he almost wanted to vomit.In short, his complexion looks very complicated, but it is true that it is ugly.

"Xiaoyan." Mu Xiao took the lead to break the silence, and called out the name that haunted him in a questioning tone, "How are you doing?"

not good at all.

Teng Jiangyan looked at the person in front of him, with a lot of thoughts in his heart but couldn't say a word, just like the most familiar mother tongue has become Norwegian, which he just finished the test in recent months. Close to the correct answer.

"You're still blaming me." Looking at Teng Jiangyan's reaction, Mu Xiao thought it was because he didn't want to say anything more to him.When Mu Xiao thought of this, his tone was somewhat regretful. Finally, he shook his head, spread out the contract in front of him, and said sincerely: "Can you give me a chance to start all over again?"

Teng Jiangyan didn't know how to respond to such Mu Xiao, so he could only change the subject in a panic: "Why do you want to discuss business here? Although the oil industry here allows private companies to operate, you must at least have a Norwegian citizenship is the only way to get a share."

He blamed Mu Xiao, especially when he was so helpless and lonely in a foreign country, but it was just a blame, more because of the lingering figure in his mind and the smell of tobacco on his body. Peace of mind.

When he first saw Mu Xiao, Teng Jiangyan saw that he had changed a lot. The conceit on his body had turned into a restrained and shrewd man. Wearing a suit and leather shoes, he still looked like a successful social elite. It feels that even the sense of proportion between conversation and conversation is mastered with great proficiency.

So much so that when he said that sentence to Teng Jiangyan with a pleading meaning, Teng Jiangyan felt as if he had been fascinated by the fox demon, and almost blurted out the word "yes".

After Mu Xiao changed the subject of Teng Jiangyan, his eyes that were staring at him immediately retracted.He lowered his head and glanced at the contract in front of him, and said formally and squarely: "You are not the person in charge of the project, are you? I'm talking about buying a cooperation, not a company."

"Yes, this is the person in charge's business card. If you have any other questions, you can call her directly." Teng Jiangyan said with a guilty conscience and handed Elen's business card directly to Mu Xiao, still quite uncomfortable with Mu Xiao's behavior. serious tone.

"Thank you." After taking it, Mu Xiao took a look and stuffed it into the briefcase. He seemed to have gained some inspiration from the name Elen, and asked Teng Jiangyan with great interest: "What's your name here?" ?”

"It's useless, and it's useless to say it." Teng Jiangyan looked at the excessively many dishes on the table in front of him, and felt that they were a bit extravagant and wasteful, "Order so much, the two of us can't finish it of."

"It doesn't matter, you can take it home if you want to take it home, but I don't know if takeaway is available here, after all, I just came here not long ago." Mu Xiao smiled and began to skillfully eat the fish in front of him with a knife and fork, so skillful that Teng Jiang Yan They are all ashamed.

"I just got my language certificate, and I can go to school after a while. To go to school, I have to share the rent with others. I found two, and I still need one." Teng Jiangyan turned away cheekily and just found a topic. He also paused for a while and raised his eyes to quietly observe Mu Xiao's reaction, "If you want to stay here for a while, you can come with us."

"I've been staying for a long time. Your suggestion is good. Where is the house?" Mu Xiao narrowly glanced at Teng Jiangyan, with a slight smile in his eyes, and his tone became lighter.

"Near the university, the transportation is very convenient, one bedroom, one living room, four bedrooms, and a kitchen for takeaway. But they may hold parties, and it may be a little noisy every now and then." Teng Jiangyan heard the joy in Mu Xiao's words, and followed Relaxed, unconsciously happy a lot.

"Very good, that's it." Mu Xiao took out his phone and opened the communication interface, looked up at Teng Jiangyan and said, "Should you leave me a call this time? Every time it disappears silently, who is it?" Taught you to be so ignorant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Teng Jiangyan felt that he had been hit on the head. The matter of "Mu Xiao is married" that he thought was bearish was revealed again, and the scabbed wound and feeling of relief were instantly dispelled. .

What is the difference between disappearing and not disappearing?It may never be possible to go back to the way it was before.

The melancholy in Teng Jiangyan's heart surged up again, choking his tears so much that they almost stayed if he didn't pay attention.

Mu Xiao has a ring on his middle finger, which Teng Jiangyan has never seen before. The style is very retro, with a different sense of calm, and it is very ostentatious to show his expensiveness. Of course, this person already belongs to it. proof.

"Why don't you talk, don't you still want to give me your phone number?" Mu Xiao felt a little troubled, "It's not impossible if you don't give it, it's just that there will be troubles in the future, that's all, it's up to you."

Teng Jiangyan suppressed the unreasonable pain in her heart, calmed down for a long time, and then said in a more peaceful tone: "I don't remember my own, you give me yours, and I will call you."

After the two exchanged numbers, they began to eat on their own. Until the whole meal was over, Mu Xiao deliberately didn't mention anything about the contract, nor did he mention anything about Sun Yunyun and Mu Yueru.The two chatted about trivial matters, but otherwise, they were silent with each other most of the time.Maybe it was because they had been separated for too long, and they couldn't adapt at all for a while, and neither of them could find anything to discuss.

After Teng Jiangyan returned home, he was still in a heavy mood. Every time he thought about Mu Xiao's messy things, he couldn't be happy at all. He even regretted inviting Mu Xiao to share the rent.

Mu Xiao should have contacted Elen after he checked out and left, so that Elen came back not long after, took the contract and left in a hurry.As for why he went out, Teng Jiangyan didn't know. After all, he really didn't know anything about business matters. Compared with him, he was even worse at keeping cats.

In the remaining few days of this month, Elen started to get busy again, and Teng Jiangyan was also busy, busy moving.After passing the language test, he can go to school, but after listening to a lot of things Elen told him, he feels that he can still adapt to his roommate's behavior of throwing parties from time to time. After all, this is the most outrageous behavior.

But no matter whether he adapts or not, Teng Jiangyan has to leave soon.In the past few days, he had observed the situation and felt that Elen must be in a relationship, so he was so confused that he almost talked about the important contract with Mu Xiao a few days ago.

Of course, after seeing Mu Xiao move into the apartment, Teng Jiangyan felt that nothing could be more difficult to face.

"My room is quite close to yours." Mu Xiao stood with his hips in the living room for a while, his arms were still sore from the heavy things he was carrying.

"The sound insulation effect is average, but I'm very quiet, so you don't have to worry about me disturbing you." Teng Jiangyan sat on the sofa and read a book quietly. Recently, because of his vision loss, he even got glasses. It's like a different person.

"I'm afraid I'll disturb you. There may be a video conference at night. After all, there is a time difference with China." Mu Xiao scratched his head embarrassedly, and said apologetically, "I'll keep my voice down then."

When Teng Jiangyan heard this, his heart seemed to be pulled hard, and a different kind of soreness spread from it.He sighed softly, then closed the book and looked up and asked, "So busy recently?"

Mu Xiao was a little flattered by his sudden concern, he was stunned for a while before he realized it, and said quickly because of his excitement: "I just settled here, so I'm naturally busy, and it will be easy when the branch here is on the right track. gone."

"Are you going back to China when you're done?" Teng Jiangyan said in a nonchalant manner, deliberately trying to test Mu Xiao's attitude.

"Yes, after all, the family members are there, at least they have to go back to get together during the festival." Mu Xiao said and sat next to Teng Jiangyan, and asked cautiously, "Since we can see each other like this, how about You... want to go back with me?"

"My family is here, go back..." Teng Jiangyan laughed at himself, and looked at Mu Xiao, "I go back...to visit the grave?"

"I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." Seeing Teng Jiangyan's reaction, Mu Xiao couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed, but also a little bit guilty. After speaking, he got up silently and planned to go back to his room.Teng Jiangyan didn't say much, picked up the book and went back to the room.

Counting it, he didn't go back for a whole year plus half a year. To be honest, he didn't even know who he was hiding from.No one can bear the separation of life and death once, but he has experienced it four or five times in a row in the past few years. It is true that he dare not even enter the gate of the cemetery.After all, after a rough calculation, just by entering the tomb gate, I am afraid that I will hold four bouquets of flowers.

These things happened one after another as agreed in advance, so that he was not even given a chance to breathe, as if he would not give up until his last safe haven was destroyed.He remembered the USB flash drive that Gu Nian secretly gave him a year and a half ago. The contents inside were all encrypted with codes. Forgive him for a year and a half without deciphering it. He really doesn't understand what those documents are trying to express.

But all these incidents made him so upset that he wanted to simply throw away all the past, and even had the idea of ​​starting a new life in a new country and forgetting about it.But Mu Xiao's words once again reminded him that his family was dead and he was the only one left, even if it was for his own peace of mind, he couldn't forget it.

He opened the document again and carefully looked at the garbled text on it, sighed, and studied it seriously.

The author has something to say:

Recently... Liver Game is a little delirious, and my thoughts are in a mess.Sorry for the wait.
