one to two

For Ai You, weekends are a pleasant time to enjoy delicious food and relax. For Qi Xin, most of the time, she will be called to participate in various dinner parties.

Whenever Yan Zhiying sees Qi Xin's taciturn and forced smile, she gets annoyed. What kind of expression is this? I'm not a procuress who forced you to come out to pick up guests.Although it's a gathering in my circle of friends, these people are all people who can talk in various walks of life. It's for her own good to bring Qi Xin to dinner and make a familiar face. I really don't know why this child is so ignorant .

Speaking of which, Qi Xin was not like this before the third year of university. Yan Zhiying had a strict family education, and Qi Xin behaved very well on these occasions. I don't know what happened afterwards, which made Qi Xin withdrawn.Yan Zhiying asked several times but didn't find anything. She could only lose her temper with her husband Qi Junliang afterwards: You are still a university professor, and you didn't even teach your own daughter well. How can you be a father?Qi Junliang is indifferent and cheerful, and every time he is read, he just admits his mistake with a smile, and promises his wife that he will discipline Qi Xin well, but he has never seen him act once, and Yan Zhiying rolled his eyes in anger.

It's already December. For southern cities, unless the cold snap hits, it's usually warm and sunny.The warm wind blows in from the balcony, and Ai You hums to the music, while cooking lotus root ribs soup in a porcelain pot, while tidying up her little home.

After lunch and cleaning the dishes, Ai You changed into casual clothes, took out a few banknotes from her wallet and put them in her pants pocket, took her mobile phone and keys and went out.

I took a car to the foot of Fenghuang Mountain in the outskirts of the city. From a distance, there were already many people playing around on the mountainside.Ai You walked up all the way, and from time to time, a group of children ran past her laughing and laughing, leaving behind a series of laughter. This childlike voice made Ai You feel very happy, and her steps became light.

In a place with a good view, many people are taking pictures with different posses. Ai You looks around and compares in her heart, which beauty's smile is more natural, and which handsome guy's look is more photogenic. Eye.I also thought of "you are looking at the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you", and I felt deeply touched.

Then will someone see me as a scenery?Ai You thought to herself, turned her head and looked around, everyone was chatting and laughing in groups, in twos and threes, it seemed that no one was admiring the scenery of her being alone, she didn't take it seriously, just hooked the corners of her mouth and continued to walk up go.

All the way to the viewing platform on the top of the mountain, Ai You's breath became hurried, and a thin layer of sweat had already broken out on her back.She didn't sit down in a hurry, but leaned on the railing to adjust her breathing and slow down her heartbeat.Looking down from the viewing platform, there are a few artificial stone roads faintly visible in the woods, and Ai You thought about picking one to walk around.The mountainside is surrounded by a large piece of relatively flat grass, which has been developed into a golf course. Four or five people wearing baseball caps are walking around holding a club, aiming at the direction and swinging vigorously. The golf ball arced in the air.

The blue sky is cloudless, like a bright mirror.It is far away from the road and commercial circles, and also far away from the noise of cars.The leaves rustled, and the warm wind mixed with the sun caressed her cheeks, making Ai You feel infinite tenderness in her heart.Looking up and squinting, a plane was flying into the sky, Ai You thought of her parents whom she hadn't seen for more than a month, and thoughts filled her heart.He pouted lightly, took out his phone and quickly edited a text message: I don't stay at home all day, don't come back to see me, and I don't miss you either!

After a while, the bell rang to indicate that the text message had been sent successfully. Ai You put the phone back in his pocket, stayed for a while and then walked down the path. The warm sun was very comfortable on his body. Blood vessels are beating with the heart.

In the afternoon, Qi Xin drove to "Lin Hai" with Yan Zhiying. The doorman waiting outside welcomed the two of them politely, and led them directly to Yan Zhiying's famous private room. When the door was opened, everyone inside smiled and greeted them. Yan Zhiying said hello.

"Oh, Yan Ju, you've come! Sister Zhang has been waiting for you and Ah Xin for a long time!" Deputy Director Li, who was in the same unit as Yan Zhiying, said with a smile.

With a faint smile on his face, Qi Xin greeted the people inside one by one. "Uncle Li, your voice still sounds so neutral."

Hearing this, Lao Li laughed and let the two of them inside. The sister Zhang whom he mentioned just now was Zhang Xiumin, the proprietress of "Lin Hai". She stood up early in the morning and greeted the waiter for tea with a smile on her face.Standing next to Zhang Xiumin was a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He looked seventy percent similar to Zhang Xiumin in terms of eyebrows and eyes. The white casual shirt on his body looked brand new, with a smile on his face. When he was looking at Qi Xin It seemed a little cramped.

"Is this Aneng? Did you just come back from England? The young man is getting more and more handsome." Yan Zhiying and Zhang Xiumin have known each other for a long time and know that she has a son and a daughter.

Zhao Quanneng's smile was a bit shy. He first smiled at Yan Zhiying and said, "Hello, Aunt Yan." After Yan Zhiying nodded in response, he turned to Qi Xin and said gently, "Ah Xin, long time no see."

Qi Xin looked at Zhao Quanneng calmly, and then remembered that he was Zhang Xiumin's youngest son and the younger brother of the company's personnel manager Zhao Yemei, so he nodded to him with a smile.

Seeing Zhao Quanneng's upright appearance, Yan Zhiying's smile spread wider.Thinking that he was Zhang Xiumin's son, he knew the basics, and thought to himself that it was lucky to bring Qi Xin with him today, and hope that God will open his eyes and let his precious daughter be enlightened too.

Before Zhao Quan was able to go abroad, he didn't see Qi Xin many times, and he didn't talk to her a lot.The two lived close to each other when they were young, and they could meet each other occasionally when they went to and from school. Later, the Zhao family moved out and rented out the original house, so they hardly saw each other.At that time, Qi Xin was still a middle school student, and she didn't deliberately dress up in a showy manner, her words and deeds were low-key, no different from ordinary girls on the street.I didn't expect to have such a temperament after not seeing him for so many years, I couldn't help but blush.

Out of the corner of Qi Xin's eyes, he saw Zhao Quanneng's slightly flushed face, and in his mind, Ai You's brows were lowered and his eyes were pleasing to the eye. Ai You's cheeks still had a little baby fat, and she looked very cute at this moment.I don't know what she is doing during the holidays, will she have these boring entertainments like myself?Are you still dating your boyfriend?By the way, does Ai You have a boyfriend?Qi Xin was stunned for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she just felt ridiculous, thinking about nothing.

Not long after, the dishes were all served, everyone moved from the sofa to the dining table, and Qi Xin was deliberately arranged to sit with Zhao Quanneng.She already knew the meaning of the meal in her heart, but she just deliberately pretended not to know, and slowly ate the food that was turned in front of her. When someone talked to her, she would swallow the food before answering seriously.Zhao Quanneng was more attracted by Qi Xin's actions. This elegant and gentle woman was exactly what he had always dreamed of, and he really wanted to talk to her to get closer, but he was shy and introverted by nature, so he only asked Qi Xin. Xin was very anxious about the current situation at work, and wished to be reincarnated again.

Yan Zhiying and Zhang Xiumin sat together, they didn't eat much, and more often they chatted while quietly taking a panoramic view of the interaction between Qi Xin and Zhao Quanneng.It was rare that Qi Xin kept responding to Zhao Quanneng's words with a smile on his face. It seemed that he would have to urge the two of them to come out and get along more in the future.Yan Zhiying and Zhang Xiumin looked at each other from time to time, that is, they understood each other's meaning in their hearts.We have known each other for so long and have never had such a tacit understanding like now. This feeling is both gratifying and strange.

After the meal, Zhang Xiumin called the waiter to come over to clear the place, set out mahjong, patted Zhao Quanneng on the shoulder and gave him a wink: "A Neng, you and A Xin are young people, let's go out and play something young people like."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xin raised the corners of her lips, picked up her bag and coat and stood up to say goodbye to everyone at the table.

Zhao Quanneng followed closely to open the door for Qi Xin, and the two left together.

Yan Zhiying and Zhang Xiumin looked at each other and smiled, secretly thinking that there might be something going on here.

Seeing this situation, Lao Li and the others immediately understood, and smiled at Yan and Zhang, "They really are a pair of talented men and women. Look at them, it's good to be young, and there are a lot of good times to enjoy." Everyone laughed, built mahjong in their hands, threw the dice, and started playing round and round.

Qi Xin and Zhao Quanneng walked to the gate of "Lin Hai", and they stopped. Zhao Quanneng was about to speak, but Qi Xin snatched him first: "Ah Neng, you just came back, so you should rest more and adjust the time difference. I'll wait There is still something to do, let's go first, goodbye!"

After Qi Xin finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the parking lot without giving Zhao Quan a chance to reply.Zhao Quanneng originally wanted to talk to Qi Xin more and ask her to drink coffee, but now everyone has left, and he hurriedly shouted, "Where are you going? I'll see you off!" He only heard "Thank you, No need!" Zhao Quanneng watched Qi Xin's car disappear around the corner of the street, shrugged his shoulders, now he was the only one left, it was difficult to turn back, so he had to walk along the street alone.

It was dinner time when Ai You came back by car. There were too many people on the bus. She stood all the way and climbed the mountain all afternoon. She was somewhat tired, and her calves and heels were slightly sore at the moment.There were more and more people in the car, and the air was getting stuffy, so I simply got off the car two stops before arriving home, took a few breaths of fresh air, and walked towards the "Green Forest".

Not long after walking, a flower shop stopped Ai You in her footsteps.

The door of this flower shop is a bit small, and the outermost door is a half door, blocking half of the scene inside the shop.The two sides of the gate are surrounded by wooden fences, and there are pots of wild chrysanthemums inside, one row of golden yellow and one row of purple, and there are colorful cartoon characters "Those Flowers" pasted on the top of the pots.

Looking up, there is only a green acrylic word on the door. It turns out that this flower shop is called "Hai".

Ai You was happy, it was obviously a flower shop, but it was called Hai, could it be that the owner of the flower shop wanted to grow a sea of ​​flowers?

really interesting.

While thinking about it, she opened the door, a series of crisp jingling sounds rang above her head, Ai You looked up, and saw a series of simple crystal wind chimes.Walking into the store, the piano tunes like flowing water flowed into the ears, and slowly blurred in the heart. The tune is summer by Joe Hisaishi. It can be heard that the audio equipment is very good.

Walking into the store, the smell of various green leaves lingered in Ai You's nose from time to time, Ai You squinted her eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and walked in slowly.

There are not many flowers cut into branches for packaging in the store, and most of them are potted plants cultivated with soil or nutrient solution.No wonder the feeling in this store is much fresher than that of ordinary flower shops. It turns out that it lacks a strong smell of overnight lilies.Ai You picked a few fresh lily of the valley, light yellow carnations and pink roses, and brought them to the cashier for settlement.

The cashier in a bright red plaid shirt took the flowers in Ai You's hand with a smile, and asked enthusiastically, "Are you going to take it home to arrange flowers?"

Ai You raised the corner of her lips slightly, nodded: "Yes."

At this time, her eyes were attracted by a pot of spider plants on the cash register.

In fact, this is just an ordinary spider plant, and the flowerpot is also a very common purple clay pot, with an orchid with slender green leaves painted on the surface of the pot.At a casual glance, I thought there were three small seedlings surrounded by an adult spider plant in the pot; if you look carefully, you can see that these three seedlings are actually growing on the same adult green stem, which was artificially planted in the later stage. Pressed into the soil to take root independently.Even better, there were two pale pink flowers quietly blooming on the newly drawn stem, very similar to the pot she saw every day in the office.I don't know where a gust of wind came from, holding the pink petals to sway, as if waving to Ai You.

"Excuse me, can you count this pot of Chlorophytum for me?"
