The sun dwells in the moon, shining on the earth. It is like a person, and it is not an ancient place? Hu can have a certainty? I would rather not take care of it.

Finally, Xu Zeyuan's emotions overcame reason, and when the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau asked him and Meng Chen to submit marriage materials, Xu Zeyuan found that he had lost ,—— pairs of household registration books, and 'lost' them in the bottom compartment of the notebook bag. He also pretended to be anxious to look for it, but his clumsy acting skills couldn't even hide it from himself. At this time, Xu Zeyuan was a liar, a treacherous and shameless person, and he finally abandoned Meng Chen and abandoned them for ten years.

Meng Chen was as calm as ever, calmly walked home with Xu Zeyuan one after the other, calmly lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, calmly not shedding a single tear. No crying, no hysteria.

Xu Zeyuan sat on the chair next to the bed, he didn't know what Meng Chen was thinking at this time, he was a little afraid, he thought, if Meng Chen burst into tears and even forced him to die, he would rather marry her.

The wall clock on the wall ticks tirelessly until 12 midnight.

Meng Chen kept looking at the ceiling, not sleepy.

Xu Zeyuan didn't dare to be sleepy,

Are you hungry? I'll cook you noodles.

Lin Jinxi, is it for her? Meng Chen turned his head and looked at Xu Zeyuan, who was about to get up.

Xu Ze avoided Meng Chen's questioning eyes, and had nothing to say, was he because Lin Jinxi betrayed Meng Chen? Xu Zeyuan had thought about this question countless times, only he knew that without Lin Jinxi, there would still be Li Jinxi and Wang Jinxi, Meng Chen was not his emotional destination, and Lin Jinxi's appearance only confirmed this.

You're calling her name all your dreams. Meng Chen sat up suddenly, his face expressionless.

Sorry, not what you thought it would be. She and I were just friends. Meng Chen, I'm really sorry. If we continue to be reluctant to be together, it will be unfair to you, to me, and to each other, you are so smart, don't you think we have a problem a long time ago?

It's not my problem, it's you.

I'll admit it's my problem.

Zeyuan, have you calculated the opportunity cost and time cost? We have paid so much together, can't you see it? How can you guarantee that your future life will be as you wish? Will your actual benefits be greater than your costs? Have you made a risk prediction? What if you regret it in the future?

That's my own business. Xu Zeyuan couldn't stand Meng Chen's overly rational academic thinking.

Have you ever thought about how your parents felt?

We can't live with our parents for the rest of our lives. Are you really happy to be with me, and are you warm in this home?

Can you be realistic, we just bought a house, we will get a mortgage right away, you still have to buy a car, support the elderly in the future, raise children, so many things to worry about, to calculate, I have never complained that you are busy with work. Do you only care about whether you are warm or not?

Xu Zeyuan subconsciously shook his head, Meng Chen could never understand what he needed, and what Meng Chen wanted made Xu Zeyuan feel exhausted and frustrated, he couldn't do it, at least with Meng Chen, he couldn't hold the hand of the son and rub the old man with the son.

This night, Xu Zeyuan was lying on the sofa tossing and turning, he stared at the faint light in the bedroom door, groggy, as if he was asleep, it seemed that it didn't take long for the faint light to become white, Xu Zeyuan rubbed his eyes sleepily, and the sky was already bright.

Meng Chen sat in front of Xu Zeyuan, her eyes were red and swollen, and she cried.

Zeyuan, in fact, you have never loved me, have you?

We will always be friends and classmates, and if you need help, feel free to tell me, and I will definitely be duty-bound. Tell me, how can I do it so that you don't get sad?

Got it, you make me think about it. No matter how much Meng Chen loves Xu Zeyuan, her reason and IQ will also make her soberly realize that it is completely up to her to be a resentful woman for a lifetime or find another way out.

Meng Chen's thoughts, there is no time limit, no rules. The two resumed their relationship as roommates, Xu Zeyuan slept in the living room, and Meng Chen lived in the bedroom, and they were safe. Gradually, Meng Chen acquiesced to Xu Zeyuan's move out of their 'shared house', Xu Zeyuan left all his savings, and promised to be responsible for repaying the mortgage every month until Meng Chen figured it out - how to punish him, who made him turn ten years into empty talk. He wanted to do everything possible to make up for his apology to Meng Chen, to minimize the harm he had done to her, and to minimize his guilt. They reached a consensus to temporarily hide the truth from their respective parents.

The color of the flowers is very strange, and it is said that there is the prosperity of early spring.

In the early morning, Xu Zeyuan was awakened by the breeze wrapped in sweet flowers, he knew that Lin Jinxi was taking care of her flowery moon flower balcony, and he couldn't hide his happy sleepy eyes to find Lin Jinxi's figure, it was her, Lin Jinxi in a moon-white robe was busy on the balcony, he looked at it fascinated, reluctant to take his eyes away, looking at it, he felt unreal, and couldn't help biting the back of his hand - it hurts, it's not a dream.

Breakfast was set up on the table, and the brewed Yunnan Simao small grain coffee, with Hainan coconut flour as a companion, egg toast, and two slices of ham, was simple but rich and full. Xu Zeyuan thinks that Lin Jinxi is like a witch, she can cook chanterelles picked in the mountains into side dishes for drinking, dry dandelions dug in the soil to make tea, use leftover red wine stewed beef, idle chocolate and snow cakes to make wafer biscuits, Lin Jinxi can live a simple and warm life at her fingertips, she must have given him Gu while cooking food, the more she enjoyed, the deeper she sank, and made him love her crazy.

Xu Zeyuan took a sip of coffee,

Well, it's poisonous.

Lin Jinxi understood that he was ridiculing,

Well, it's toxic. She solemnly pointed to the balcony, where the mandala was about to bloom, and the pale yellow buds hung from the branches. Mandala, also known as goldenrod, Solanaceae, quilt value phylum, toxic, containing hyoscyamine, atropine, scopolamine, hallucination, anesthesia, Huatuo uses it to make hemp boiling powder, overdose to death.

Xu Zeyuan coughed and spit out a corner of bread in his mouth.

I was deceived, and the little monk clearly told me that this is a Buddha flower, and those who see this flower will remove the evil.

Lin Jinxi looked at Xu Zeyuan and felt funny,

In the West, it is called the love flower.

No wonder, I'm poisoned by love. As he spoke, he fell into Lin Jinxi's arms, and then the two laughed, Lin Jinxi squeaked Xu Zeyuan's itchy flesh, Xu Zeyuan hugged Lin Jinxi tightly in his arms, and looked at her with a clever smile and beautiful eyes.

People are very different, and two different people will have very different chemical reactions when they get together. Xu Zeyuan and Meng Chen were old classmates from beginning to end when they were together, they quietly talked about schoolwork, work, houses, cars, and children, but they didn't talk about love and love, and finally Xu Zeyuan's heart was afraid and fled, he really didn't know how to spend the next 50 years day and night. But Lin Jinxi is different, he can treat her as a sister, a daughter, or even a mother, he never thought that he would lie in the crook of a young woman's arms and be coquettish, and he and her close can be melted into the bones, and they can't tell each other. Even if he only talks about Fengyue, Xu Zeyuan will sketch a blueprint in his heart, he wants to buy her a bright house, with plenty of light, an open kitchen, two children, a boy and a girl, she writes at home, he watches her as a wife and mother, watches her add wrinkles between her eyebrows, and watches her fragrance and soul disperse with the wind. Every time I think of this, I feel sad and only hate that life is too short.

Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and at this time, Xu Zeyuan is not half unsatisfactory except for the spring breeze, he is immersed in the complicated work of the project, he is questioned by customers, pressured by leaders, and spit out bitterness by the brothers below, but for him, everything is clear, you will only see a high-spirited young talent talking and laughing with customers, arguing with leaders, and putting his heart to heart with his brothers, no complaints, no slack. He calculated in his heart that if Meng Chen quit their marriage room, he would help her buy a single apartment to help her settle down as compensation, so that his conscience could be settled. As for the future, he imagined countless possibilities with Lin Jinxi, maybe they lived outside the effect, Lin Jinxi tended to her flowers and plants in her small garden every morning, and she would try to grow tomatoes and vegetables; or, they lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, accompanied by the breeze, the bright moon, and the mountain springs; or, they couldn't escape the material confinement, and stayed in the reinforced concrete forest to fight, and their days were still not boring. All the ideas and good things inspire him to be more realistic, and he must work harder to create more value in exchange for enough money.

On the whiteboard in the office, colorful button tiles are lined up, which projects are the most important and need to be installed with technical gods; which projects take a long time and need to be developed by middle-level technicians, and technical backbones are seconded to important links; which projects are convenient to operate and have little profits, and need to be tempered by newcomers; which projects can fill their pockets and arrange cronies to intervene. Xu Zeyuan stood in front of the whiteboard to analyze the battle situation, his right hand subconsciously grinded the dolphin tie clip, the dolphin's fins were shiny by his rubbing, and he tied a tie with blue and light blue stripes, which was given to him by Lin Jinxi, and became the standard for him to speak and participate in the meeting, which was very flattering to his thick eyebrows and navy blue thin-edged frames. He occasionally relocated the colored button tiles, some projects had redundant personnel, some projects needed to reduce man-hours, and some projects had to redefine attributes, he gritted his teeth, making a gurgling sound of grinding teeth, and a green tendon appeared on one side of his temple and extended to his hairline.

Li Cheng knocked on the door and leaned into the body,

Boss, the bids are ready, I will go to the Ministry of Commerce to sign and bind, have you used it?

Take it and show me. took the document in Li Cheng's hand, put it on the table and flipped through a few pages of key items to check. No problem, that's it, tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m., you directly bring the bids over, and we'll see you in the lobby. Li Cheng is Xu Zeyuan's confidant.

Got the boss.

The text message ringtone on the mobile phone prompted Xu Zeyuan to see Meng Chen's 'Sick, can you help?'.

Okay, you go get busy first, I have something to go out. Xu Zeyuan touched the wallet in his trouser pocket, grabbed his coat and walked out of the office with Li Cheng.

For Meng Chen, as long as she can't let go for a day, he will be a slave to her for a day. But Lin Jinxi must not be allowed to know about this past, there can be no mistakes between him and Lin Jinxi, and there can be no flaws.

Meng Chen had a high fever of 39 degrees 3, and his body was seriously dehydrated, Xu Zeyuan almost didn't recognize her when he saw her, he hurriedly picked up Meng Chen and went downstairs to take a taxi.

Meng Chen's head leaned weakly on Xu Zeyuan's shoulder, she was a little confused,

Zeyuan, you're with her, right?

Don't talk yet, why didn't you call me earlier?

Zeyuan, I thought you would come back, every night......

You sleep first, and I'll call you when you get to the hospital.

Some people spit out the truth after drinking, and Meng Chen's true feelings can only be revealed when she is in a daze, she must be very sick, and she will never be able to say the same thing when she is sober. Xu Zeyuan hated himself so much, he really deserved to die, and he had to hurt a person who didn't have any fault, just because he didn't love, just because she paid her true feelings wrong. Conscience has been tormenting Xu Zeyuan's moral bottom line, and he doesn't know when he will rest.

When Meng Chen woke up, she was already lying on a temporary bed rented in the emergency room on a drip, and Xu Zeyuan was sitting in the waiting chair next to the bed holding a laptop to write documents.

What time is it?Meng Chen asked.

Xu Zeyuan looked at the watch on his wrist, 2:20 in the morning. Are you feeling better?

Yes, thank you!

The doctor said that you have acute pneumonia, and you have been prescribed a drip for a week, and you have to come to the hospital every day, and I will try to come over to accompany you when I have time.

Your mother called me last week, and I said that I lost my household registration book, and I will go to get the certificate if I refill it.

I know, my mom called me. Meng Chen, thank you, you deserve to be treated well by better people. It was I who failed you.

I settled our accounts over the years, and when I got better, I returned the house and lost the deposit.

There's no rush on this, we'll discuss it again. It is said that people's hearts have been seen for a long time, in fact, after the division and the test, they can see a person's heart clearly, Xu Zeyuan is so fortunate to meet a good woman like Meng Chen, but the feelings are unpredictable, he has never understood Meng Chen well over the years, he looked at her collapsed cheeks, haggard eyebrows and eyes, inexplicable sentimentality and bitterness in his heart, how should he treat her well? How should he deal with the aftermath? He also knows very well that his distress has nothing to do with love.

Lin Jinxi was already asleep, and there was a bowl of egg custard and a glass of milk on the table, and she prepared a supper for him as soon as possible. Xu Zeyuan accompanied Meng Chen to send her home after a drip, everything was settled, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning, he was indeed a little hungry, sitting quietly at the dining table to eat, looking at the bedroom with the door hidden from time to time, a little weak. He sorted out his thoughts and prepared for the 9 o'clock in the morning, he was determined to win every opportunity, he had to be invincible, winning and fortune would give him confidence in the face of the women he had hurt and loved, he had to solve the problem, and without further ado.

He usually wears a navy blue suit, a beige blue solid or off-white shirt, a blue and light blue wide-striped tie, skillfully connects a notebook and a projector, opens a PPT to introduce the product to the customer while presenting the document, usually opening like this:

Leaders, good morning, I am honored to have the opportunity to introduce to you the technical solutions of this bidding project, and I only participate in this bidding on behalf of TN Technology Company......

His voice is not high or low, the rhythm is relaxed, the speech is clear, during the preaching, his right hand will occasionally subconsciously push the tie knot from the bottom to the top, as if he is afraid that the appearance is not respectful enough, when the customer asks questions, he will hold his chest with both hands and listen carefully, if someone is difficult, he will bite his teeth hard, followed by bursting out of the green tendons on the temples, and then make a slight adjustment, tidying up the thinking to deal with as usual.

But today is different - the bid has failed. He slept for 2 hours and was woken up by the alarm clock, combed through the presentation again before going out, and rushed to the lobby on the first floor of the customer at 8:20, and in the end, Li Chenghe was late for the bid, and he took the wrong subway and was 20 minutes late.

In the conference room, Xu Zeyuan lost control of his emotions for the first time, and questioned Li Cheng angrily, even if he knew that it was useless, even if he knew that Li Cheng was just a momentary negligence,

The list of 1.2 million, 1.2 million was scrapped.

I heard that the customers are all settled, and we are the bidders. Li Cheng found an excuse to shirk responsibility.

How do you know you won't win without trying? You know, I haven't lost, and this time is the same. Xu Zeyuan is anxious for quick success, he knows the importance of cutting into a new customer, and he knows that the loss starts and ends at 1.2 million. He already knows how to expand his network, and even if he doesn't win the bid, he can make an impression on the client's project leader when he sings the bid, and then he will find a way to clear the barrier and plan for the next order, and he can't afford to lose now.

My classmate works for the company that won the bid, and he said that they are old friends......

Relationships are not set in stone, it's not something you worry about, your problem is because you're late, you'd better remember this lesson for me. After Xu Zeyuan finished speaking, he grabbed the door and walked out, and the colleagues in the staff area exchanged words.

As for having such a big temper?

I heard that this customer has a big order behind him.

It's not the first time that we've failed the bid, and we've made mistakes.

Xu is young and too competitive.

He still has two skills, you have the ability, you go to be the head of the development department.

The gun shoots the first bird, and I'd rather be wise and save myself.

Weekends are the most relaxing time for Xu Zeyuan, and although he still finds time to focus on work, he enjoys the company of Lin Jinxi even more. Lin Jinxi likes to carry the elephant machine around, so at Lin Jinxi's insistence, the two of them each contributed half of the money to buy an economical family car, every weekend they will pack their luggage, office notebooks, shooting cameras, outdoor tents, necessary clothes, simple picnics, Lin Jinxi is very thrifty, since her life savings are spent on half a car, she will not prepare a luxurious bacon sandwich for the first picnic before going out, but change to porridge, grab a handful of raw rice and put it in the thermos bucket, flush it with boiling water, drive 2, 3 hours, arrive at the destination, take some photos, set up the tent, set up the folding tables and chairs, lay out the tablecloth, open the Baoman bucket, the stuffy porridge is just soft and sweet. Xu Zeyuan complained,

Hungry and thin, not enough to eat. He would go to the local shop and buy peanuts, broad beans or jerky as a side dish.

Lin Jinxi will also accept it very happily, she usually says to Xu Zeyuan while holding a camera to shoot flowers, grass, and birds, I am responsible for the ground floor building, and you are responsible for the icing on the cake, which is very good, or it is good for us to swap roles.

Xu Zeyuan likes all the looks of Lin Jinxi, with a smile and every move. He appreciated her independence and refined frugality more. I enjoyed the warm noon sun in winter, drank porridge, drank hot tea, and read idle books. Xu Zeyuan wrote four and a half lines of code, Lin Jinxi took a lot of materials, the soft light of the evening brewed, a cold wind rose, and the two finally decided to go home, after all, it was not a good situation for Fengdian Road Stay. Maybe next weekend, just after midnight, the two of them will decide to go to the beach to watch the sunrise on the seaside in winter - go, go right away.

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of stewed beef in a casserole, Lin Jinxi smiled and handed the journal in this month's society to Xu Zeyuan, Xu Zeyuan habitually searched the catalog page, and found that the editor and reporter were Lin Jinxi's publications, he remembered that Lin Jinxi wrote about the poplar forest in southern Xinjiang in the last issue, and the theme of this issue was Reeds. He opened the corresponding page number with great interest, and was eager to read it. The two pictures on the front page of the article are familiar, one picture has few reeds, and the other picture is a relief carved in gray stone, the photo takes advantage of the light and shadow to take advantage of the three-dimensional sense, but the content of the relief is very vague, about two people and a few cases, which can't help but remind him of the widow of the Xu family ancestral hall.

The article wrote: This is a piece of fairy breath, dragon qi rising feng shui treasure land, the west side of the terrain of the west side of the mountain sea dial about 2400 meters, in turn distributed poplar, ginkgo, elm, locust, small leaf ficus, alpine banyan, fir, spruce, larch and other vegetation, autumn vegetation is distinct, there is an area of about 300 square kilometers of lake water on the south side of the mountain, the local people call it Xihe Lake, the source of the Huai water on the top, the downstream and then discharged by the Huai water. As early as the 19th century, the waters of this place are vast, and during the peak of the summer rain, 70,000 acres of reeds are divided and listed in it, forming hundreds of lakes. Xihedian is adjacent to Xujia Town......

Xu Zeyuan only knew that he was born in a small town called Dianzi, most of the people in the town were long, seeing these words, he clearly knew for the first time that the west of Xujia Town was 2,400 meters high, this water area was 300 square kilometers large, and there were 70,000 acres of reeds. For the first time, he used numbers to learn about his hometown. He looked at Lin Jinxi with great surprise,

Have you been?

Lin Jinxi nodded proudly.

When did you go?

It's my birthday.

Xu Zeyuan stopped Lin Jinxi on his leg and kissed him fiercely,

Do you like it there?

Like, next time you take me back with you.

Good, good. Xu Zeyuan is good, the pronunciation of the second one is an octave lower than the first, he suddenly remembered that Meng Chen's matter had not been dealt with yet, and he remembered his mother's teachings.

Is it really good?

Of course. Xu Zeyuan thought, it's fast, it's fast, and he can summon the world soon.

You said that when you were a child, you were beaten in the ancestral hall, and I went to the ancestral hall, which was in disrepair, and the locals said that the roof was leaking, and the wooden beam structure inside was about to be destroyed.

It's a pity, when I was a child, the old gentleman learned a few years old dolls in the ancestral hall. My grandfather also took care of the ancestral hall before he died.

However, there is also news that your superior city has put forward a plan to make Xujia Town a tourism pilot, and now it seems to have been included in the investment promotion project.

Then Xujia Town can have some popularity again, at least the ancestral hall will be repaired.

It's good and bad, and it will keep some things, but it will also bring in commercial things.

Anyway, I'll take you back to Grandpa's ancestral house. No, we renovated our ancestral house and went back every summer.

Good. I also went to Seifuji. Took some pictures. Lin Jinxi took the photo and nested in Xu Zeyuan's arms again, and said while flipping through the photos, my colleagues and I spent one night in the temple and became a volunteer to cut the grain for a day.

Lin Zeyuan remembered his confession and pointed to the mandala on the balcony, the seed was invited from the breeze.

Guessed.

Don't take offerings? Don't collect money?

There was no merit box in the temple, and when we left, we wanted to keep some money, and the little monk called Daoyi said that if we helped cut the grain, we would donate it.

Where did they get the money for food and clothing? Are the rice fields and vegetable fields enough for them?

It also makes sense.

Is the host of the temple an old monk with a white beard?

A few years ago, when he passed away, I heard that the old man pointed to the West with his arm when he passed away, which meant to tell the disciples that he had passed away in the Western Pure Land and to encourage them to cultivate diligently. The current presiding officer is called Buwu, a proud disciple of an old monk, he leads the monks to lead water to grow rice and vegetables, and the temple is completely self-sufficient. Lin Jinxi handed the photo to Xu Zeyuan.

Xu Zeyuan looked at it and smiled,

The face is white and glowing, which farmer do you see working in the field who is not tanned?

There are a few strange things, this host is getting whiter and whiter, and the whiter and whiter is glowing, his little apprentice Dao Yi said, I don't realize that the master has the meditation kung fu, and there are a few times Dao Yi and his master sit together and feel that the master is wrapped in a glowing transparent shell, and even he feels warm, so there must be a reason for this white, I think it is the body of the gods and Buddhas.

Xu Zeyuan couldn't bear it,

Do you believe this? I think you've fallen for evil.

Listen to me, there is something even stranger, on the day we cut the grain, the Buddha statue in the main hall blinked.

Did you see that?

No, but the old man in your town, Xu Jiamao, was the first to see it, and said that he blinked five times.

He was a man of my grandfather's generation, and I remember that he had eaten fasting all his life and never lied.

So, don't you think it's weird?

I don't understand. The old gentleman taught us the Heart Sutra and the Diamond Sutra, but I don't have wisdom in this regard.

Daoyi little monk said that they hold 21 days of Buddha seven every quarter, do not understand the monk to preach the scriptures, the big Buddha blink before the autumn Buddha seven played, said that the Buddha seven of that period is good, the great monk propagation of the Dharma and the lay people chanting the mantra of the cause of the special. So the Buddha appeared.

This little monk of Daoyi is really gossip.

Fortunately, he gossips, either to find someone to set up the news, sin and sin, Amitabha.

The aroma of cooked beef became more and more intense, Xu Zeyuan sniffed and teased,

Sins and sins, we still have wine and meat through the intestines of the Buddha's heart.

It's a sin, put the picture away, they won't smell it, right? Lin Jinxi looked like a five-year-old child when he got serious.

Hahaha, Xu Zeyuan took advantage of the victory to pursue and sneak attack Lin Jinxi, kissing her face fiercely, Lin Jinxi was ashamed, no, no, blasphemy. Lin Jinxi hid the photo and dodged left and right.

Xu Zeyuan and Lin Jinxi are lucky, in the vast sea of people, it is a rare fate to know each other and become friends, not to mention the heart of the two towards each other, one against all odds, and the other with all they have. If I only write about a relationship, I would rather put my pen down here, and let them live a boring life of peace and tranquility with firewood, rice, oil and salt until the end of their lives. If everything is so easy, why should I put their thoughts on paper and make everyone laugh at them?
