life and joy

Chapter 16

From the main course to the dessert, the plates are brought up one by one and taken away one by one, and the meal is eaten very late, from dusk to twilight.

When he went downstairs, he passed a well-dressed middle-aged couple. He Huan walked over without squinting. After turning around, his face was as cold as ice.

Yao Qi, who never looked at people while walking, was driven by instinct to look back at the two hurrying people. After looking at them for a while, he found that there was nothing unusual, and then looked away bored.

In just a few seconds, looking back, He Huan collided with the waiter, and a girl about his age was apologizing and begging for forgiveness in a panic.He Huan stood still, lowered his voice and said, it's okay, let's go.

The voice was very calm, and it was his usual strict restraint, but the moment Yao looked forward to the past, he saw that his eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge.

"what happened?"

He Huan shook his head, and just as he raised his legs to leave, he heard a sentence from behind: Xiao Huan?The tone is full of surprise.

Before the middle-aged couple came forward to recognize the long-lost person, He Huan walked into the exclusive passage for senior members. He took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands with some irritability, then threw the handkerchief into the trash can.

A few seconds later, the elevator doors opened and closed, leaving everything behind.

During the process of descending from the [-]th floor, the two of them were strangely silent, and Yao Qi kept his eyes on He Huan, waiting for him to say something.But He Huan remained silent, turning a blind eye to his probing gaze.

Yao Qi had checked He Huan's relationship very early on, and he could recite his life by simply taking out a photo of the past and present.But life is not like making a movie, so every minute and every second can't be so detailed, and some things, if He Huan doesn't say it, no one will ever know.

Going home in the evening, Jiang He, who has just finished a day and night of overtime and looks haggard and pitiful, is sitting on the sofa in the lobby waiting for his boss to come back to deliver the documents to be approved.

Not in a good mood, Yao Qi, who was extremely exhausted in the spiritual world, glanced at him, and found that his employees were thinking of squeezing him all the time, and felt extremely bad for a moment.As soon as he was ready, he was ready to throw him to the corner of Eastern Europe to discuss business.

After a tiring day, Jiang He finally had a short rest, blinking Kazilan's small eyes and reporting the company's recent situation, unaware that he was about to die in a war-torn place.

He Huan, who had been silent all the way, finally showed a smile on his face, looked at Jiang He thoughtfully, and said, Assistant Jiang?Have you thought about changing your boss?The salary is only a lot, and the work is only light or not heavy.

Jiang He, who was exhausted every day, seemed to see the hope of life for a moment. Fortunately, his sanity was not lost, and he looked back guiltily before rushing to hug his thigh.

I saw Yao Qi looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, and under the upturned corner of his mouth was hidden a rare cruelty in the depths of human nature.

He Huan: ...

"No, no, young master, please let me go. Although you and Mr. Yao are a family, I am only Mr. Yao's sharp blade, ready to unsheath and go to the mountains of swords and seas of fire at any time."

He Huan held back a smile to see him talking nonsense in a serious manner.Jiang He was defeated by the malicious gazes of the two and rushed out the door like a rocket.

Scared Jiang He away, there were two people left in the huge house. Yao Qi thought about the two people he met during the day, turned the water glass in his hand around, and then turned around again, and then said, "Although I was 17 years old I got rid of the Yao family and started from scratch, but compared to me, my elder brother is the one who deviates from the old ways.

After hesitating many times, I was fully prepared and opened my mouth, but I still digressed a lot.

He Huan nodded in agreement and said, yes, otherwise he would not have given up his huge family business to become a chef and marry a woman with children.

When he said this, he was facing the computer, and the work in his hand did not stop. His eyes were focused on the work and he could not see any sadness or joy.

Yao Qi has long known that He Huan has another face under the mask of sincerity and kindness.But no matter how hard Yao Qi tried, he couldn't see the other face.The more I explored, the more I felt that I had walked into the fog city, and there was nothing under the thick fog.Every step in depth makes people doubt their original intentions.

It was a summer night in September, with no stars and bright moonlight.

Yao Qi was lying on a deck chair by the swimming pool, lost in the dark mountains.Listening carefully, it should be the sound of the dark tide surging at the connection between the swimming pool and the groundwater, but there is no.On the back mountain is the basketball court, game hall and golf course built by Yao Qi on a whim, and the ski resort was almost moved here, and then there are layers of deep mountains and dense forests.

At night, the mountain is like an abyss covered by towering trees, with ghosts and shadows.

Emotionally, you know that you may be able to get out of the abyss by climbing up the trees, but rationally, you know that it is impossible.

I chose this place in the first place to avoid too much involvement in human relations.It's hard to say whether the goal was achieved at the time, but now his main task every day is to suppress the words that come to his mouth.

Because of this, my head is almost bald.

The person in a certain room on the third floor fell into a dreamland in the obsession with lingering on time every day.

He dreams every day, repeating the same dream over and over again.

I clearly know which time and space I am in, and I know that I am just a bystander, but the memories of many years ago are still surging up like a tide.The pain deep in his memory was revealed over and over again, and he never forgot it, never dared to forget it.

Opening his eyes suddenly, he saw the dimly lit floor lamp, and the long tassels of the faint curtains, which were completely different from many years ago.

He Huan raised his arm and wiped his forehead, his hands were covered with sweat.

Suddenly wanting to talk to someone, he took out his phone, found Yao Qi in the list of only a few people, opened the dialog box, and said, don't ask me to have breakfast tomorrow.

I thought I was just talking on my own, and didn't want to receive a reply at all. Just a second before he put down the phone, a "stare" expression popped up on the screen, followed by a sentence full of resentment, I don't know Which one of us does not listen to advice, and who has a bad stomach.

Because of this sentence, the often cramped intestinal tract was inexplicably wrapped in warmth, and He Huan lay flat, forcing himself to sleep again like forcing himself to wake up from a nightmare.

The next day there was heavy fog in the mountains, Yao Qi, who didn't believe in evil, got up early, and even called his two aunts to make breakfast.When everything is ready, go upstairs and knock on the door.

There was not a crisp "Enter" coming from behind the door, pushing the door, and there was no disturbing face as expected.

Yao Qi, who was too close to his sweetheart, fell down from the sky and was extremely sober.

After a quick check, the driver was still there, and the car was well parked in the garage.

After adjusting the monitoring, it was discovered that a strange car came to pick up He Huan an hour ago.

Close the mountain!It will be closed tomorrow!Yao Qi said angrily.

He fast-forwarded and intercepted the license plate number from the surveillance video, and was about to call Jiang He to search the city when he looked up and saw two aunts and the driver looking at him strangely, with a bewildered expression on his face.

The remaining rationality told him not to be so impulsive, and then tentatively sent a text message saying, breakfast is ready, do you really want to eat it?

He Huan came out of the dressing room, took off his coat that was covered with wind and dew, and was walking in with his slippers, when he heard a ding, he looked down at his phone.Looking up again, he met the eyes of four people head-on.

He had obviously just come back from the outside, and his whole body was cool, even the air around him was cool, which was refreshing in midsummer.

Yao Qi took a breath of the cool air greedily, and then suddenly realized that his attitude was wrong, so he asked with a straight face, where did he go when he ran out early in the morning?

He Huan opened the chair and sat down, propped his chin with both hands, and teased him with a smile, uncle, first of all, I am seventeen, and I am a boy, and second, it is broad daylight, what are you worried about?

At some point, he was able to speak freely, and the witty words contained sarcasm. Before He Huan could feel the speed with which he was assimilated by this world, Yao Qiyi grabbed his wrist and pulled him over.

Seeing that there was only a few millimeters between his hand and the other's lips, He Huan suddenly felt a strong desire to touch the face of this man who is known for his meanness and indifference among thousands of people in Daicheng. A pair of thin lips.

Just when he was still hesitating whether to raise his finger to touch it without any trace, Yao Qi had already let him go, and then picked up the bowl to eat as if nothing had happened.

He Huan withdrew his hand across the table and smelled it, it was the smell of lilies.

After being surprised by the other party's meticulous carelessness for the umpteenth time, He Huan looked back at the door to confirm that the aunts had gone away. There were only two people in the room. He removed his cynical face and asked in a very low voice, what are you doing? Say, to bring down a doctor, should it be a medical trouble or a less rigorous medical certificate?

His voice was so soft that Yao Qi thought he was muttering to himself at first, but when he heard it clearly, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and asked, are you a devil?

He Huan: ...

"Don't they all say that doctors are angels? It's not wrong that I'm a devil." He Huan continued seriously, letting the topic deviate from the original direction on a weird path.

Yao Qi paused and said, let me do this kind of thing.It is easy for the dirty stream of the Yao family to turn into two clear springs.

He Huan originally wanted to choke the other party back with a harmless joke, but when he said it, it was a solemn and careful sentence, which had nothing to do with you.

Yao Qi, who was calm and unhurried, turned cold instantly when he heard the words, and said without hesitation, tell me what entanglement is worthy of your hands being blackened, otherwise, no one can get what they want under my stop.

After hearing this threatening sentence, He Huan didn't ask the case like all impulsive teenagers, do you think I can't do it?

His tall and thin body was completely nestled in the dining chair, his face was as gray as that of dead wood, and after a long time, he uttered a sentence as thin as a gossamer, give me some time.
