"Have you ordered food yet?" Chi Juntao asked.

"Have you ordered food yet?" Chi Juntao asked.

Qi Zhikang said: "No, I don't know what you like to eat."

"I have no taboos." Chi Juntao said, he pressed the waiter's call bell, "Do you eat spicy food?"

"I can do it." Qi Zhikang said, his fingers twisted together nervously, "I heard from my brother that you just broke up."

"Well." Chi Juntao said, he was calm and strong, "At this stage, I think career is more important." He poured tea for Qi Zhikang and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Qi Zhikang took the teacup. Although he is about to graduate, he is only a student now, and his mind is not as mature as Chi Juntao's. He looked at Chi Juntao with admiration, "I also want to go to Huajin for an internship. .”

"What major do you study?" Chi Juntao asked.

"The finance of the central government." Qi Zhikang said.

"Why don't you take the postgraduate entrance examination?" Chi Juntao asked.

"I want to do an internship for three months first to get in touch with the actual financial business." Qi Zhikang said, "and then take the postgraduate entrance examination this winter."

"It's quite planned." Chi Juntao rested his cheek with one hand, "I wish I had planned like you back then."

Qi Zhikang asked suspiciously: "I heard from my brother that you might be Joaquin's next president."

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Chi Juntao said, the waiter came in with the recipe, Chi Juntao asked Qi Zhikang what he meant, ordered a few dishes, a pot of soup and two bowls of rice, and returned the thick recipe to the waiter, " Somebody lead me away."

Qi Zhikang looked at Chi Juntao in confusion, and Chi Juntao said, "If you want to come to Huajin for an internship, write your resume and send it to me."

"I thought that today's meal chat was not just about work and planning." Qi Zhikang said.

"I'm only in the mood to talk about work today." Chi Juntao said, Qi Zhikang is not Mu Xu, he doesn't need to be considerate, and he is too familiar with the dog temper of this group of rich and powerful children, he himself is one of them, "I The financial analysis team of the International Investment Department is being formed. This is a very good opportunity. If you are willing to come, just give me your resume. If you don’t want to, I can’t help it.”

"Just like what your brother said, I just broke up two days ago, and we are only one step away from getting married." Chi Juntao said, rubbing his eyes, "In a short time, I really don't have the extra energy to manage the next relationship. He picked up the chopsticks, put the fish-flavored shredded pork into the bowl, and started to eat.

Qi Zhikang was originally introverted, so he was stunned by Chi Juntao and was speechless for a long time. He picked up a piece of fish and ate it with small mouthfuls.

Chi Juntao picked up the teapot to add water to Qi Zhikang and himself, and he asked, "Why do you suddenly want to come out?"

"I feel bored and uncomfortable." Qi Zhikang said, "I also don't want to deal with endless blind dates. My family has a strong concept of being a good family."

"What kind of partner do you want to find?" Chi Juntao asked.

"I don't know." Qi Zhikang said, he put down his chopsticks, his eyes were confused, "I want someone to talk with me."

"You can find a psychiatrist." Chi Juntao said, "If the money is in place, he can chat with you for a whole year."

"..." Qi Zhikang glanced at Chi Juntao.

Although Qi Zhikang didn't say it clearly, Chi Juntao saw speechlessness from that look.

Chi Juntao didn't have the patience to please the children who didn't graduate. He felt Mu Xu's helplessness when he faced the self who didn't graduate. He secretly compared his former self with Qi Zhikang, and felt that he was still Better than Qi Zhikang.

If Chi Juntao had Qi Zhikang's soft and introverted character, Mu Xu would have thrown him back to the Chi family and would have stopped seeing him for the rest of his life, let alone getting engaged to him.

Chi Juntao instantly became complacent. He cleaned up the rice in the bowl, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and said, "You should think about your resume. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first." He stood up holding his phone , the corner of his clothes was grabbed by Qi Zhikang, he lowered his head: "Is there anything else?"

"Thank you for giving me an internship opportunity." Qi Zhikang stood up and thanked solemnly, "I will work hard."

Chi Juntao patted Qi Zhikang on the shoulder: "Come on, work hard." He opened the door of the box and went out, checked out at the front desk, and called Qi Yan, "Where are you?"

"At the door." Qi Yan said, "It's been longer than I thought, did you have a good chat?"

"The food is good." Chi Juntao opened the door and walked towards the Lamborghini on the side of the road, "Why does your cousin raise like a little sheep?"

"I don't know, I didn't raise it." Qi Yan lowered the window, unlocked the door, and Chi Juntao got into the co-pilot: "He said he wanted to come to Huajin for an internship, and I agreed."

"Yo, are you planning for long-term development?" Qi Yan asked.

"Develop a hammer." Chi Juntao said, his fingers unconsciously stroking the watch, "I need a while..." He held back his restlessness and turned his head to look out the car window.

Qi Yan sighed and started the car: "Cure your emotional wounds, right? I understand. Let's go, buddy will take you to drink."

Mu Xu parked the car crookedly on the side of the road, stepped on the soft grass in the night, the wet and salty sea breeze blew across his cheeks, blowing his half-length soft hair into the air.He was carrying a bottle of whiskey, his eyes narrowed slightly, his steps were light, and he was slightly drunk. He walked up the white cliff and looked at the Strait of Dover.

Tired from standing, he sat down in the cold and damp grass without hesitation, unscrewed the bottle cap, and took a sip of wine.About half an hour later, he lay flat on his back, staring blankly at the Milky Way across the sky, his lungs filled with icy wind, and the wine bottle overturned and poured into the soil.

This is the fifth and final day of a week of hypnotherapy.

Shelley Brown gave him an apologetic hug as he left.

"Sorry, it wasn't your fault," she said.

Mu Xu didn't speak, he was immersed in the impact of memory and truth, Mu Baiying looked at him worriedly, he bent down to pick up his coat, mobile phone and car keys, and said to go out to relax.

After driving to a light bar, Mu Xu sat by the window and thought for half an afternoon.Scattered memories are spliced ​​together, the story is not long or short, and the plot is not complicated. There are no extreme villains in it. In the final analysis, it is just a tragedy brewed by coincidence.

Such a simple incident has affected half of Mu Xu's life.

Baiya is extremely quiet, only the whistling of the night wind and the occasional chirping of seabirds.There has never been such a moment when Mu Xu desperately wanted Chi Juntao to be by his side.He needs Chi Juntao's humor and optimism to pull him out of the vortex of self-blame and guilt. He needs kisses and hugs, soft words to comfort him, and unswerving support.

Mu Xu sat on the edge of the cliff, he drank a little dazedly, he felt cold instinctively, stretched out his hand to wrap his coat tightly, but accidentally knocked the wine bottle off the cliff.The bottle hit the rock and made a hollow impact sound, like a small hammer, which woke Mu Xu up, and he hurriedly took out his mobile phone to make a call.

Chi Juntao, who is far away in the east of Asia, just finished his morning meeting and stepped out of the stuffy meeting room. He stood by the window, opened the window to let in air, his phone buzzed and vibrated, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number from the UK.He froze for a moment, then hurriedly swiped the answer button: "Hello."

"Jun Tao." Mu Xu's voice was as cold as ever, he didn't use the opening remarks of greetings, and said straight to the point, "Are you free now, I want to chat with you."

"I'm free." Chi Juntao quickly walked into the negotiation room, closed the door behind his back, grabbed a chair and sat down.

"I know about my dad." Mu Xu said, "I feel that the greater responsibility lies with me."

"Why you?" Chi Juntao asked.

"When my dad had a heart attack, he was building blocks with me." Mu Xu said, "I knocked on the neighbor's door, but it couldn't be opened."

"The aunt downstairs called an ambulance for me." Mu Xu said, "but it was too late."

"6 minutes." Mu Xu said, "I can play 120 by myself, but I don't."

"You are only five years old." Chi Juntao said, "You can't demand yourself by the standards of an adult."

"I watched my dad die in front of me." Mu Xu said, "I stood at the door of the living room, he was lying on the carpet, and I heard the siren of the ambulance. I didn't know what to do."

"I ran downstairs and saw them carrying my dad into the ambulance. I ran to the park and hid in a cave in a rockery all afternoon." Mu Xu's voice gradually choked, "If I called 120 in time, all this It will never happen, I chose to forget this memory at the time because I knew..."

"Axu, Axu." Chi Juntao forcibly interrupted Mu Xu, "Listen to me, it wasn't your fault, you were only five years old at the time, no one blamed you, not even your father Tuomeng You, this incident is a huge coincidence."

"There is an inevitable reason for it. In my grandfather, there is also an element of coincidence. Just like your heart attack, I can't blame Mingyue for not calling 120 in time." Chi Juntao said, "You worked hard, you go to the neighbor's door, ask the aunt downstairs to call an ambulance, you have done what you can, and the rest can only depend on God's will."

Mu Xu was silent for a moment, the rapid breathing in the earpiece calmed down, Chi Juntao's voice was soft, as if coaxing: "You are too far away from me, I really want to hug you."

"I'm watching the sunrise at Baiya." Mu Xu said, "I'll take a photo for you later."

"Is you in the photo?" Chi Juntao asked.

"No." Mu Xu said.

"It's fine without it." Chi Juntao said tolerantly.
