Yang Ke paid a tip to the driver who had been waiting for a long time.

The driver put out his cigarette and drove away from the villa.The housekeeper also came out, and took away Yu Zhinian's suitcase under Yang Ke's signal.

Night mist rose from the ground, and the air was a little chilly.After standing for a while, Yang Ke said to Yu Zhinian, "Let's go."

Before entering the house, Yang Ke let Yu Zhinian go in first, and smoked a cigarette by himself at the door.

Yu Zhinian had never seen Yang Ke smoking, so he didn't know what Yang Ke was going to do at first, but saw Yang Ke take something from the cabinet in the entrance.

After a few seconds, he heard the sound of a lighter, and turned around to see the smoke that quickly melted into the night.

Yu Zhinian smelled the smell of burning tobacco, looked out from the door, and could only see Yang Ke's elbow.Staring at the smoke for a minute or two in a daze, Yu Zhinian felt his heart constrict slowly.

After a while, Yang Ke finished smoking and came in, while Yu Zhinian was still standing.

Yang Ke was taken aback for a moment, and asked him, "Why don't you go in."

Yu Zhinian walked in in a daze, thinking that Shao Xilin might be waiting for him at home, so he immediately called him.

"Are you here?" Shao Xilin asked him, "Do you want to come down to pick you up?"

Yu Zhinian felt very embarrassed, and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, Xilin, I won't be here again. Please."

"Ah?" Shao Xilin asked him strangely, "Do you have a place to live?"

Yu Zhinian said "yes", and Shao Xilin said, "Well, you don't need to wander."

"I have an electronic version of the shorthand for February, but it's not very clear," Yu Zhinian said again, "If you're not in a hurry tonight, I'll give it to you during the meeting tomorrow afternoon."

Shao Xilin said "OK", and told Yu Zhinian again: "If you have no place to live next time, you can still come to my place."

Yu Zhinian thanked him sincerely.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Ke suddenly asked him, "What meeting do you have tomorrow afternoon?"

Yu Zhinian was startled and looked at Yang Ke.

Yang Ke couldn't tell if he was fully awake from the wine, and in the dark, he looked straight at Yu Zhinian.

"At the school meeting," Yu Zhinian explained, "the project team is all together, and the communication is progressing."

Yang Ke said "Oh", and it seemed that he didn't intend to go upstairs.

Yu Zhinian stood and hesitated for a while, and asked him: "Is your company's problem serious?"

For some reason, Yang Ke was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to think about it, and said, "It's a bit complicated."

"Are you in a hurry to ask for money?" Yu Zhinian was a little worried.

Yang Ke was silent for a while, and said, "I can hold on for a while."

"Then don't worry too much," Yu Zhinian reassured him, "Tomorrow, let's ask Lawyer Li to see if there is any way to get the money out quickly."

He suddenly thought of the legal length of separation, and said, "I forgot whether it has been half a year since I returned to Ning City. I don't know if it will affect it."

"I'll do the math." He turned on his phone and wanted to check the time of the flight back home to count the days, but Yang Ke said to him, "Don't forget."

"Not yet," Yang Ke said, "Li Lu is remembering, and told me."

Yu Zhinian said "Oh", thought for a while, and then said: "Do you need to make an appointment for marriage registration? My classmate has made an appointment for a long time."

It was dark in the living room, and the fireplace opposite the sofa was out. They were still awake downstairs, but the house seemed to be asleep.

Yang Ke looked at him for a few seconds and said to him, "You don't need to worry about these things."

Yu Zhinian looked at him, guessing that he might feel that he thought too much, talked too much, and felt somewhat depressed, and said to Yang Ke: "Okay, let's go upstairs."

Yang Ke followed behind him silently, and Yu Zhinian smelled the smoke on Yang Ke's body again.

He thought about when Yang Ke started smoking, and also thought that Yang Ke's life was no longer prepared to include him, maybe he would have smoked a long time ago, maybe.

Walking to the second floor, Yu Zhinian was walking to his room when he suddenly heard Yang Ke calling him from behind.

"Yu Zhinian," Yang Ke said, "I'll take you to buy a wedding ring tomorrow morning."

Yu Zhinian turned around and looked at him blankly: "Do you want to buy a wedding ring?"

Yang Ke said "Well", Yu Zhinian didn't know much about the registration process of the Marriage Hall, and felt that there might be some rigid requirements, so he said "OK" meekly, and Yang Ke asked again: "What time do you have the meeting in the afternoon?"

"02:30." Yu Zhinian told him.

"After lunch, I'll take you there." Yang Ke said.

Yu Zhinian walked to the door of the room and looked back, Yang Ke was still standing not far away, not moving by the wall lamp.Yu Zhinian paused, put his hand on the doorknob, and said to Yang Ke, "Good night."

Yang Ke also said good night politely, and Yu Zhinian entered the room.

The next day, Yu Zhinian's time difference seemed to be adjusted inexplicably, and he slept until he woke up naturally, at nine o'clock in the morning.

After washing up, he changed his clothes and went downstairs. Yang Ke was already eating breakfast at the table.

Yang Ke has already exercised, he is not dressed too formally, looks very refreshing, and does not look so serious.But he seemed to be completely sober, so probably that stupid Yang Ke in the car yesterday would never be there again.

After the meal, Yang Ke took Yu Zhinian to buy a wedding ring. They were the first couple of customers in the store.

The salesperson was a young woman with a very enthusiastic attitude.

Originally, Yu Zhinian thought that if you choose a formal wedding ring, you can just pick a pair of cheap men's rings. Anyway, you won't wear them in the future, and you can use them as a registered fashion at most, and you don't even need to go to such expensive jewelry stores. shop here.

But Yang Ke is a very perfectionist person. Even if he can't buy a ring that he can't wear, he has carefully selected it for a long time.The salesman took out almost all the ring styles and tried them on the ring fingers of Yu Zhinian and Yang Ke one by one.

When Yu Zhinian looked at these rings, he felt that there was no difference, except for the width, narrowness, and subtle embedded diamonds. Yang Ke was not very picky about what he wore, but he could always pick the thorn in Yu Zhinian's hand.

"You wear it too wide."

"Don't like platinum."

"The ring is too big to see the effect. How long will it take to change it?"

After picking and choosing for two hours, Yang Ke bought a pair of wedding rings and ordered a pair of watches.

Yu Zhinian felt that Yang Ke was short of money after all, and it was a waste to go shopping so extravagantly, but probably Yang Ke was used to not looking at the price list, and he didn't like the feeling of spending money withholding money. Taking into account Yang Ke's self-esteem, Yu Zhinian did not Proposed.

When he was in the car, Yu Zhinian couldn't help but asked Yang Ke: "The watch you ordered is too expensive, and you are short of money now, can you return it?"

Yang Ke's expression changed all of a sudden, and after a few seconds, he said, "I will earn it back."

Yu Zhinian speculated that Yang Ke might have encountered difficulties in his business and became sensitive, so he didn't say any more.

They had lunch at a restaurant next to the store.

This restaurant is also near Yang Ke's company. Yang Ke took Yu Zhinian there before. The food tastes good, the environment is not so formal, and there are many customers. Yang Ke should have reserved a table in advance, and they didn't queue up.

After serving an appetizer, Yu Zhinian suddenly heard someone call Yang Ke's name.

He glanced back subconsciously, it was Zhai Di and another man in a suit he had never seen before, coming from the bar.Zhai Di and Yu Zhinian looked at each other, were taken aback for a moment, nodded to him, said hello, took a few steps closer, and asked Yang Ke, "Why don't you go back to the company after eating here?"

"I went to buy a wedding ring in the morning," Yang Ke said, "It's nearby."

Zhai Di remained silent for a few seconds, looked at Yu Zhinian again, suddenly smiled at Yang Ke, and said, "The company's situation is so critical, you'd better come back to work early."

For some reason, Yang Ke's complexion became unattractive, and he said to Zhai Di, "Got it."

"Can you come earlier this afternoon?" Zhai Di asked him.

"No." Yang Ke directly refused.

Zhai Di and the man went to their own table and sat down.

Yu Zhinian lowered his head and ate two mouthfuls, Yang Ke suddenly said, "It's not as serious as he said." Yu Zhinian looked up at Yang Ke, and said "Yes".

After a while, Yu Zhinian said to Yang Ke: "Zhai Di's temper doesn't seem to be as bad as before."

Yang Ke was stunned for a moment, but said nothing.

When he was in college, Yang Ke almost ignored Yu Zhinian at first, and most people thought they didn't know each other.Zhai Di and Yang Ke have a good relationship, and probably feel that Yu Zhinian, who often greets Yang Ke, is a neurotic weirdo.

Later, Yu Zhinian's record book was forgotten in the library, picked up by an unknown student, and sent around as a joke. Many people thought he was Yang Ke's fanatical suitor, and Zhai Di hated him even more.

Soon after, Yu Zhinian and Yang Ke lived together, those strange eyes no longer appeared, but Zhai Di never seemed to give Yu Zhinian any good looks.

The lunch meeting someone I didn't expect was spent in silence.

Yu Zhinian wanted to divert his attention, while eating, he thought about his thesis, and the meeting in the afternoon, what he had to say, because he thought seriously, so he didn't have much appetite, and he didn't eat much of each dish.

Yang Ke didn't accuse him of being distracted, but just went out to make a phone call when he was about to finish eating, and came back to tell Yu Zhinian that his secretary had made an appointment for the registration hall, and they could go to register tomorrow.
