Xue Yiyang signed his name on the paper and closed the pen cap.

Liu Nianwen took back the contract and said with a sigh of relief: "This is officially settled. Your money will be gradually arranged for the next donation projects. All processes will be as clear and transparent as the terms of the contract. You can rest assured."

Xue Yiyang nodded, "Then leave it to you."

The place where they signed the contract was a western restaurant near Xue Yiyang's studio. The place by the window could see the cars passing by below.

It was lunch time, when a figure in bright yellow clothes flashed in his sight, Xue Yiyang's heart skipped a beat, but when he took a closer look, it wasn't that person, and he felt lost again.

This feeling has been repeated countless times in the past month or so, and it gradually made him no longer want to see that kind of deliveryman's uniform, because a look forward to is a disappointment, and no one can bear it back and forth.

I usually hear people say that Dingchuan City is small and crowded, but it is really difficult to find that special one from the crowd.

Xue Yiyang regretted leaving that day. He knew in his heart that the past made Jiang Ge very sad, but he also knew that Jiang Ge was a stubborn person before. If he didn't leave that day, Jiang Ge probably could hide there for three days or three days. night.I thought Dingchuan was only this big, but I found someone...

Liu Nianwen watched him staring out the window in a daze, and interrupted: "Mr. Xue, then I'll be leaving first. You can contact me at any time for follow-up matters."

Xue Yiyang returned to his senses and smiled, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

After sending Liu Nianwen away, Xue Yiyang received a call from Meng Yi.

The wedding date was set in a hurry, but it was not perfunctory.Originally, Xue Yiyang wanted to fool the past with a trip and marriage, but the Meng family firmly disagreed, and must give the girl a complete and happy wedding. Meng Yi habitually listened to her father, and Xue Yiyang also agreed. Just compromise.

Invitations, banquets, betrothal gifts, dresses, procedures, etc., Lin Lin always thought there were too many big and small things. During this period of time, he was all arranging these things except staying in the studio.

The people around only thought that he had found the right girl, and he was happy even if he was busy, but only he knew that he was bored and tired, and seeing Meng Yi silently preparing, he couldn't say a few words, so he could only I endured it myself.

Today is the last day to confirm the new house before the wedding. In order to facilitate the ceremony process that day, the wedding room is selected in the hotel where the wedding banquet is held.

Meng Yi sounded flustered on the phone, "...Brother Yang, something happened to me here, please help me to check..."

Xue Yiyang heard something wrong with her voice, "What's wrong with you? Do you want me to go there?"

"It's all right," Meng Yi said, "It's just Wenwen...she's not feeling well right now..."

"So that's how it is," Xue Yiyang understood, "Well, I'll check it out."

Jiang Ge parked his scooter in the far corner of the toll parking lot, next to a Land Rover, turned his head and saw the toll man in the parking lot was holding a pot of tea and looked at him blankly, and immediately changed his smile, Said: "Master, I don't need to charge for this little broken car?"

Yuesheng Hotel is located in the downtown business district, where every inch of land is expensive, and the traffic is also strictly controlled. A small motorcycle like his can be towed away by the traffic police after 5 minutes of parking on the side of the road.

The uncle took a sip of his tea, "No car fare, but cigarette money."

Jiang Ge immediately handed over a cigarette, and the uncle took it and raised his eyebrows, "Young man smokes strongly."

Jiang Ge laughed, "Then what, young people like excitement."

He glanced across the road, and there was a large supermarket opposite, with many people coming in and out.On the open space next to the door, there were two children who looked like siblings. The younger brother was in a daze, and the older sister looked at passers-by with begging eyes while talking.I also knew that it must be some miserable words. There was still a large piece of paper in front of them, which had been plasticized to prevent it from being worn too much, and a corner was blown up in the breeze.

"Master," Jiang Ge handed him another cigarette, "Are the two kids across the street begging for money every day?"

The uncle took it smoothly, "Well, don't just look at them as pitiful, you will be fooled. There are people following around, and the job is begging for food. There is no guarantee that the monthly salary will be higher than ours."

"That's right." Jiang Ge replied, looked at them again, and then took the takeaway to Yuesheng Hotel.

This was the last order at noon. Jiang Ge came a little late, and the customer who ordered the takeaway complained a few words. He apologized for a long time, and finally did not change the bad review.

Walking into the elevator, two hotel staff were carrying some things to go to the next floor, and there was a big stand beside it, like the kind placed at the entrance of a wedding banquet to welcome guests.

"Is this someone getting married?"

The two staff members are young girls, and they have long seen that the takeaway guy who is in the same elevator looks pretty good, so one of them said: "Yeah, the one who came to see the venue today, the groom is the writer Xue As for Yiyang, I have seen the TV series adapted from his novels, and they are pretty good."

Jiang Ge only felt that his mind suddenly started to buzz, and it took two seconds to react, with a strange smile on his face, "Ah, that's it."

Another little girl said: "By the way, I saw a real person just now. He is very tall and handsome..."

The elevator arrived soon, and the two little girls got off the elevator with their things. The groom's smile on the stand stung Jiang Ge's eyes, burning hot.

Should have thought of it earlier.

Didn't you see it that day?

With a successful career and beautiful family members by her side, it is not uncommon for her to embrace the three of them for two years.

Jiang Ge went downstairs in a daze, and only took a deep breath when he sat on his motorcycle, letting his three souls and seven souls quickly return to his body, and returned to the snack bar.That afternoon, he broke two bowls and misplaced three sums of money. Even the Buddhist boss couldn't stand it, so he was allowed to go back early to rest, so as not to damage his body.

The motorcycle belongs to the store. Jiang Ge changed his clothes, lit a cigarette and walked all the way to his residence along the curb. When he reached the intersection leading to Yuesheng Hotel, he looked up in that direction, and suddenly turned Pressing the cigarette out on the trash can next to him, he cursed in a low voice, "Fuck."

The lights in the hotel were very bright, illuminating the hall resplendently. He looked up, but there were no lights on on the third floor where the wedding banquet was held.Maybe in a few days, Xue Yiyang will be here, bringing Mei Jiao Niang to toast the guests.The bride will hold her arm and smile brightly like spring flowers. Every guest will compliment them as a natural couple and wish them an early baby...

Jiang Ge got on the elevator and went up to the third floor of the hotel again.The place was just as it looked from the outside, dark and empty.He casually turned on a small decorative wall lamp next to him, and the not-so-bright light illuminated a small area in front of him. He smiled self-deprecatingly for his inexplicable behavior and mood.

He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and was about to light another one, when someone behind him suddenly asked:

"who is it?"

Xue Yiyang got out of the elevator, but it was a little strange to see the lights on the third floor.

Checking accounts, wedding procedures, banquet dishes, guest seats... a mess. I didn't expect there to be so many things. After going back and forth until it was dark, he finally finished it. When he got out of the hotel and was about to drive away, he found out that his cuffs were A cuff button fell off.

He didn't know if he dropped it in the restaurant on the third floor while checking the wedding banquet, or in the penthouse suite while looking at the wedding room, so he turned back and saw a stranger standing not far away as soon as he got out of the elevator.

A small yellow light enveloped the man's thin back, and he stood upright, as if his words had cast some spell on him, making him unable to move.

"Excuse me, are you a hotel employee? I don't know if you have seen it..."

Xue Yiyang's words stopped in the middle, because he suddenly found out who this person was.

Ginger.

He has grown a little taller and thinner than a few years ago. Just looking at his back, he no longer recognizes the little kid who always clings to him.

"Why are you here..." Before Xue Yiyang finished speaking, Jiang Ge rushed to the elevator, trying to do the same escape trick as last time.

Xue Yiyang grabbed him, and Jiang Ge struggled twice, but he couldn't break free from the opponent's iron grip. Before throwing away the cigarette that had just started burning, the cigarette butt hit Xue Yiyang's Jiang Ge quickly threw the cigarette butt away.

"...you fucking let me go!"

Xue Yiyang looked at him with a cold face, and said in a deep voice: "I let you go, don't run away."

In the penthouse suite.

Jiang Ge sat down on the sofa and watched Xue Yiyang take out two bottles of water from the small refrigerator, "There seems to be only water and..."

The best suite in Yuesheng Hotel that they had booked in Xue Yiyang, the one that was going to be used as the wedding banquet room.

The most important thing is that this place is still in the same configuration as the wedding banquet, with bright red beds prepared, pink lights on top, and the strong fragrance of roses inserted in the bottle, which made Jiang Ge feel dizzy ——Or sitting face to face with Xue Yiyang like this is enough to make him dizzy.

"Isn't there still wine, let's drink." Jiang Ge said, his hand habitually took out the cigarette case in his pocket, and he seemed to be scruples after touching it, but he still didn't take it out in the end.

Xue Yiyang looked back at him, put the water back, picked up the bottle of red wine next to him, "Okay."

Seeing Jiang Ge down half a glass of the bottle of old red wine in one gulp, Xue Yiyang kept his expression on his face, "Where have you been these past few years?"

"Didn't you see that day? It was delivering food."

"..." Xue Yiyang asked again, "Then, are you still drawing?"

This question made Jiang Ge feel lost, "No."

The days of holding a paintbrush seemed like a lifetime ago. He looked down at his hand, which had been working for a long time, it was black, with thick knuckles, and there were traces of smoky yellow between the index finger and middle finger. Now he really wanted to He took out a cigarette and smoked it.

"Your father..."

"Stay well in the prison, I guess I won't be able to get out in this life."

Jiang Ge looked at Xue Yiyang's neatly rolled up cuffs, and his eyes slid along his shirt without any extra wrinkles to Xue Yiyang's face, and the other party looked at him in the same way.

Maybe the smell of alcohol got on his head, Jiang Ge suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled.

Xue Yiyang waited for him to speak, and saw Jiang Ge drank the remaining liquid in his glass, stood up unsteadily and walked in front of him, grabbed his collar with one hand condescendingly, narrowed his eyes slightly , "Xue Yiyang, can you put away your beastly attire?"
