Parking on the side of the road was an ordinary-looking black BMW, not Bai Qi's car, Bai Tang came to pick up Chen Yi at the request of her brother to go to an appointment, and sitting in the driver's seat was her boyfriend, a gallery owner, she called him "Andy", with a neutral hairstyle, rimless glasses, and a close-fitting plain casual suit, which looked very gentle and spoke softly.

"Hello, Miss Chen. After Andy turned around and greeted Chen Yi with a smile, he turned around and pulled up the handbrake, and said while driving, "I heard Bai Tang say that you teach English, maybe there is a chance, you can teach my son." Seeing Chen Yi visibly stiff in the rearview mirror, he added, "I'm divorced." ”

"I didn't do a junior. "White sugar is also supplemented.

Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Andy's pale sideburns, he was well maintained, his skin looked like he was in his early thirties, and he was an elegant and handsome uncle common in Korean dramas. ”

Chen Yi's eyes widened as he looked at the sugar, while Andy let out a string of indifferent laughs.

"You ...... Are you serious?" she whispered in Bai Tang's ear, after all, the age difference between the two was twenty years.

Bai Tang replied without evasion: "What kind of love is not serious? ”

Chen Yi listened and nodded in agreement, "Yes, it is quite common for old husbands and young wives to be young." ”

"You're a man. Bai Tang turned his face to look at her, her eyes were about to overflow with disgust, she smacked her lips and said, "The skin looks like my age, this soul is so old that it stinks, a man and a woman must rush to get married when they fall in love?

"This ......" Chen Yi's face turned red, of course she knew that Bai Tang had the freedom to choose whether to fall in love or not, but she couldn't help but whisper a few words to defend herself, "If you are happy together, then you will always be together when you get married, isn't it happier." ”

"Oh my God, you can be together without getting married. After Bai Tang howled, he patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, "You dead brain, and Chi Nuo are like the standard configuration of the original factory, coming out of an assembly line, the brand is called 'Golden Boy and Jade Girl', why don't you two just forget it together?" After suddenly realizing this, she looked at her seriously and asked, "Wait, how did Chi Nuo know you? What is he doing there?" Without waiting for Chen Yi to answer, she slapped her palms and came to her conclusion, "Damn, he's chasing you!"

"No!" Chen Yi screamed, she didn't know why she reacted so much, maybe she was afraid that Bai Tang would report to Bai Qi, she looked at her with pleading eyes and repeated again, "It's really not." ”

"It's better not to. Bai Tang frowned and said, "If my brother knows that my ex-boyfriend is his rival, I will definitely not have a good life." While talking, she glanced out the window, and when her destination was approaching, she asked Andy to pull over, "I won't go in with you, my brother hasn't seen Andy yet, I don't want to scare him." ”

Chen Yi wondered, "Bai Qi doesn't know that you're in love?"

"He thought I was a schoolboy. She told her, "Don't talk about leaking your mouth—" After speaking, she threatened uneasily, "or I will tell him that there is a 'little fresh meat' who is having an affair with you." ”

"You dare!" Chen Yi slapped Bai Sugar's thigh, which made her grin, and the two of them waved their "paws" at each other like cats fighting, and after laughing and dodging Bai Tang's counterattack, she suddenly asked with stunned eyes, "Then, your brother, Bai Qi him, do you love me?"

"What do you love or not, you guys are old, can you not be so sensual?" Bai Tang rubbed his thighs, opened the car door and said, "You ask him yourself." ”

Chen Yi followed Bai Qi's instructions and went straight to the open-air bar on the rooftop, the sunset covered everything in front of her with a dense layer of cream, the decoration of the bar was an American heavy industry style, each set of tables and chairs was far away from each other in order to ensure the conversation space of the guests, like a boat floating on the sea, she quickly found the most handsome captain from the open sea, Bai Qi was too eye-catching, even if there was a blonde foreigner sitting opposite him, he still firmly caught the attention of the people around him because of the dangerous aura of the clouds。

It turned out that it was not a solitary date for two people, and when I saw Chen Yi, who was present with a third person, she stepped forward with a somewhat lost look.

"Chen Yi, let me introduce you to it. Bai Qi said, "This is Mr. Ai, the COO of 'Yongxin Dao', and their company is engaged in international trade. ”

While shaking hands with Chen Yi, Mr. Ai introduced himself in blunt English: "Hello, Miss Chen, my Chinese name is Ai Li, you can also call me Alex." ”

Chen Yi smiled politely, "It'sapleasuretomeetyou."

After exchanging glances with Bai Qi, Mr. Ai took out a business card and handed it to Chen Yi, "Iheardthatyour."

Englishisnotbad.”

She took it and said, "Youhavethefinalsay."

Then the three of them chatted in English while eating, and Mr. Ai was very interested in Chen Yi, asked about his hobbies and specialties, as well as what kind of work he had engaged in in the past and what his prospects for the future were...... Halfway through the conversation, Chen Yi almost understood the meaning of this dinner: it was a private interview arranged for her by Bai Qi.

After the dinner, waiting for Mr. Ai to leave, Chen Yi glanced at Bai Qi mockingly and said, "Thank you for the oral training you arranged for me, but I don't think it's necessary." With that, she grabbed her bag and stood up.

"Are you unhappy?" Bai Qi grabbed her wrist, rolled his eyes down, stared at her bag suspiciously, and asked in a tone implied hostile, "New bag?"

In normal times, she might care about him at this time, but at this moment she just wanted to get rid of the unhappiness in her heart quickly, and quickly replied, "I sent it to my sister." ”

"What sister??," he didn't believe her answer, "Do you have a 'such' sister by your side?"—the implication of "such" is: You have such a rich woman by your side who can easily give you a bag?—— Bai Qi is more inclined to guess that there is a man who is pursuing Chen Yi.

"Why can't I have such a sister by my side?" Chen Yi withdrew his hand and touched the bag and asked, "I don't match this bag?" She understood what he said, thinking that he was making the decision to arrange interviews for himself, obviously he didn't look down on her work, and her heart was even more depressed, and her tone also rushed, "Does someone stipulate what kind of bag should people with a monthly salary carry?"

"As long as you accept the job given by Alex, such a bag, you like to buy a few and buy a few-" Bai Qi stood up, looked at Chen Yi playfully and said, "I don't need any 'sister' to give it to you." ”

"I don't need that many bags. Chen Yi brushed Bai Qi's side and left the bar without squinting.

When he came to the street, Chen Yi didn't follow Bai Qi to the parking lot, so he was angry and asked her back: "Chen Yi, won't you not be able to see it?

Chen Yi knew that he was for her good, but she didn't want to be arranged by him, she had hands and feet, for so many years, although it was very hard, she also took care of herself quite well, for so many years, no man had fallen from the sky to save her, and now Bai Qi suddenly appeared, he wanted to intervene in her life, and he easily took her to the sky, which made her question how much failure she had lived in this small half of her life?

"Chen Yi!" Bai Qi rushed forward, grabbed Chen Yi's arm and forced her to face him, he asked sharply, "Do you want to be a teacher in English training classes for the rest of your life?

Maybe it was the word "dream" that ignited the gunpowder that had been buried in Chen Yi's heart for many years and had long been wrapped in dust, she suddenly exclaimed, "My dream is to be an actor!" Bai Qi was shocked by her courage, and unconsciously let go of her hand, she realized her gaffe, pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed dryly, and said softly, "But I failed, you know." ”

Her expression was like a thin line of glass, as long as the thunder was louder, it would shatter with a "click", Bai Qi sighed and hugged Chen Yi tightly in his arms, she was still angry, struggling for a while, he hugged her tightly until she didn't move, the two of them hugged quietly in the night for a while, Bai Qi felt from Chen Yi's breathing that she was calm

came down, and then whispered softly in her ear, "Don't be unhappy, life is too short, if I do something to make you unhappy, you tell me, next time-" He changed his words and laughed evilly, "I know how to mess with you." ”

Chen Yi was amused, pushed him away, and said frankly, "I don't want to rely on you." ”

Bai Qi spread his hands and said, "You are too contradictory, you want to marry me, but you don't want to rely on me." ”

"These are two different things. Chen Yi stared into Bai Qi's eyes and told him seriously, "The marriage I want is two equal people, an equal relationship, I don't want to listen to your command what job to change, what friends to make, what kind of ......bag to carry" She said, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I do earn far less money than you, and my job is not as 'high' as you seem, but I am free, and I don't want to be your slave." ”

Bai Qi looked back at the glittering light in Chen Yi's eyes, although he expected her obedience, he was not disgusted by her "declaration of resistance", because when she had a resolute expression, she was more like the girl he admired in high school.

"Good, good, you are free. He stretched out his hands and encircled her into his arms again, his eyes full of smiles, and his voice as soft as a non-alcoholic but intoxicating mojito, "You're free, okay?" ”

After Chen Yi was rubbed by his gaze for a while, the arrogance of the whole person gradually dissipated, she raised her neck, kissed his chin, and asked softly, "Do you love me?"

He was very satisfied with her "peace-seeking" attitude, and after taking the initiative to send a long kiss, he asked, "What do you think?"

"Bai Qi, you bastard. In this battle, she lost again, so she buried her face in his shoulder, and closed her eyes tiredly and sweetly.

"Are you really not going to my place tonight?" Bai Qi was driving Chen Yi back to her rented room, he drove very slowly, and still didn't give up persuading her to spend the night with him, "If you think it's inconvenient for Bai Sugar to be there, we can also open a room." ”

Chen Yi teased him, "It's really rare that you will be so reluctant to me, usually when you can't think of me, you can dry for a week." ”

"That's because I'm busy. Bai Qi said, "Of course, men are the first in their careers-"

"Women too. Chen Yi interrupted him.

Bai Qi chuckled, "Oh, I want to hear about your career plan, I thought your goal was to teach your husband and children." ”

"Human life – the life that we face – is very complicated, and it does not mean that if you choose this, you have to give up that. Chen Yi responded with a cold face, "I can have a marriage and a career at the same time, and the two are not in conflict." ”

"Do you think your business is running well?" Bai Qi smiled, "You are very satisfied with your life?" Seeing that Chen Yi didn't answer, in the face of this crumbling tower, he launched a pursuit even more presumptuously, "One plus one is indeed equal to two, but two rotten apples together can't be a good apple." You just think that getting married is an opportunity for change, but haven't you thought about it, is it for the better or for the worse?"

Chen Yi glared at him, "Are you enough, right? I didn't force you to marry me, what are you educating me?"

"You can't force me, but now I want to take advantage of your sober mind to persuade you, don't take your brain one day and clear yourself, and run into a bad person, and lose and stick. He stretched out his hand as if patting a puppy's head, patted Chen Yi's leg, and said in a pitiful tone, "I have to watch you closely." ”

She choked him, "So worried, you marry me." ”

Bai Qi sighed in disappointment at her reaction, put his hand back on the steering wheel and said, "This is coming around again." ”

After entering the community, when approaching the downstairs of her house, Chen Yi noticed a familiar car, she leaned out of the window and muttered strangely, "Chu Fan's car, why is it here?" Hearing Bai Qi's puzzled snort, she turned her head and explained to him, "It's the sister who gave me the bag." He then expressed his surprise, "Is there really such a person?"

Chen Yi took out her mobile phone from her bag and saw that there were three missed calls from Chu Fan, so she hurriedly told Bai Qi not to be busy looking for a parking space, and quickly let her down, and sure enough, she hurriedly ran to the door of her unit and saw Chu Fan standing there with an anxious face.

"What's the matter with you, you won't answer the phone, I'm in a hurry. Chu Fan rushed up and grabbed Chen Yi's hand and dragged him into the corridor, "Hurry upstairs, my Qiqi is sitting at the door of your house, just one night, please help me hide her, and I will take her to another place tomorrow." ”

Qiqi is Chu Fan's daughter who is in the sixth grade of elementary school, Chen Yi nodded in confusion before asking, "Of course it's okay, but is something wrong?"

Without waiting for Chu Fan to answer, a car with headlights stopped in front of them, Guo Zhongxue got out of the car door, ran straight to Chu Fan, pointed at her and yelled angrily, "You give my daughter back to me!"

Although Guo Zhongxue's appearance is upright, he is the kind of person who walks on the street and has no recognition, he has an inch head, wears the most ordinary glasses, wears the most ordinary brown jacket and black trousers, and even his height is the average of northern men, and there is no trace of anything out of the ordinary.

For Chen Yi and most people, he is the standard good guy and the image template of a good husband.

"What do you call your daughter?" Chu Fan stepped forward, also pointed at him, and roared unrelentingly, "I was conceived in October, can I not know whose daughter Qiqi is?"

Guo Zhongxue wiped the sweat on his face in annoyance, and tried his best to persuade him with a calm face, "Wife, don't be unreasonable, now you are spilling, everyone is a husband and wife, they are all adults, can you sit down and talk about it?"

"Is that your attitude of talking?" Chu Fan didn't accept his pretense of courtesy, and his voice became louder, "Talk, talk, talk, isn't it just a result of persuading me to accept the arrangement you give, I can't give you custody of Qiqi." ”

Chen Yi, who was standing on the side, finally understood the reason why Chu Fan wanted to hide his daughter here, but after all, it was someone else's family matter, and she didn't know the ins and outs yet, so she couldn't meddle and talk a lot, not far away, Bai Qi, who had parked the car, was walking over slowly.

Guo Zhongxue, who had blue tendons on his forehead, took a step forward, clenching his fists as if he was about to hit someone, but he just glared at Chu Fan angrily and continued to persuade, "Chu Fan, don't be sick, we have a good life, I didn't split my legs, I didn't owe debts, now you are too idle to find trouble, you want to break up our good family of three, as long as you say that this marriage is not divorced now, we are still a complete family, you have committed a mess these days, I will treat it as if it never happened." ”

Chu Fan sneered, "Why, you didn't find Xiao San, you have no ability, and you don't owe debts because I cleaned up the mess for you, that's it, are you still proud?"

Guo Zhongxue's eyes were bloodshot because of anger, and his tone was even more eager, "Chu Fan, you are fair, for so many years, you have a hot temper and a straight temperament, I have been scolded by you a lot, and I have not bowed my head for you to apologize, we can only say that the personalities are complementary, not to mention who owes whom, you have a strong mouth, I can't quarrel with you, but you are my wife, I deserve to let you, but you don't deceive people too much, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry." ”

Chu Fan waved his hand disapprovingly, and said disgustedly, "Don't talk about these imaginary things, our family, who pays more, check the bank flow to know!"

"Do you only have money in your eyes? Can a man's quality only be judged by money?" Guo Zhongxue pointed to the sky and asked, "You can find someone to ask, are there many good men like me who don't gamble, prostitute or beat their wives, and can handle the housework single-handedly?"

"You can prove yourself as a good man without beating your wife? The standard of your good men is really low, what's the matter, don't you want to beat me for a day or two?" Chu Fan laughed, stretched out his hand and pushed Guo Zhongxue's chest one by one, and shouted provocatively, "You fight, don't suffocate yourself, you can beat me if you want to!"

Chen Yi saw that Guo Zhongxue looked like he was about to lose his mind, and kept dragging Chu Fan who was rushing towards him from behind, and sure enough, when she saw him raise his fist, she didn't have time to think and blocked Chu Fan's body, but she didn't get a fist, because Bai Qi came over in time to stop it.

"Hey!" Bai Qi had a great grip because he had the habit of exercising, he easily pinched Guo Zhongxue's wrist and asked with a smile, "This good man, is this going to mutate?"

Seeing that there were still outsiders present—and it was not a woman, but a tall and sturdy man—Guo Zhongxue, who was good at observing the direction of the wind, knew that he was at a disadvantage, so he hurriedly withdrew.

Bai Qi whispered in Chen Yi's ear with some schadenfreude: "Look, this is marriage, how embarrassing it is." ”
