Without any warning, Chen Yi walked into the company and pushed open the door of Chu Fan's office, and saw Chi Nuo, she was stunned, as if she had accidentally trespassed on someone else's territory, and withdrew while apologizing "I'm sorry" and closed the door.

Is that Chi Nuo? Chen Yi only felt dry for a moment, she didn't see it too clearly, but after all, she was a former lover, and she only needed a little glance to know that it was him, who had changed his hairstyle, no longer so fluffy as a cloud, and now he had cut a refreshing and capable short haircut, wearing a high-necked gray sweater, and the familiar orange down jacket was on the chair at hand, and when he turned his face to meet Chen Yi's hurried eyes, his eyes were no longer so full of resentment, and finally returned to clear, like a lake with light waves because of surprise, and there was no muddy anything in it.

"What are you hiding?" Chu Fan pushed open the door, walked towards Chen Yi, and asked strangely, "No, you guys, adults break up, you can still be friends, don't look like you're going to cut each other when you meet, look at your way of fleeing." ”

"I was a little shocked when I saw it suddenly. Chen Yi smiled dryly, "I thought I wouldn't see each other again." ”

"Then you're really the last time you'll meet him this time. Chu Fan said, "He's going back to his hometown." ”

Since breaking up with Chen Yi, Chi Nuo has not come to Chu Fan again, he was worried about the embarrassment of running into him, so he came here today, just to officially say goodbye to his cousin, and handed over some of the video work entrusted by her in the early days, and he decided to leave Beijing.

"Why?" Chen Yi blinked and asked cautiously with a very weak expression, "It's not because of me, right?"

"It's not because of you. Chi Nuo poked his head out of the door and smiled softly at her, "Long time no see, Chen Yi." ”

Seeing his casual appearance, Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled, "Yes." ”

Chi Nuo walked over and said, "Since we met, let's have a meal together." ”

Originally, Chi Nuo came over to ask Chu Fan to have dinner together, but after meeting Chen Yi, he somehow had an idea in his heart, gave up the restaurant he had booked, and went to a Japanese restaurant, which was the one he met Chen Yi for the first time.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Chen Yi sat down, his face was embarrassed, "You still want to punish me?"

"You remember. Chi Nuo said with a smile, "I don't want to embarrass you, I just think it's quite ritualistic, this is the first time I ate with you, and the last time we ate together, don't you think this is called a beginning and an end?"

"If you really want to have a beginning and an end to look grand, you should copy all the details one by one, and the dishes we ordered should be exactly the same as that day-" Chu Fan intervened in the conversation between the two to resolve the embarrassment for Chen Yi, she said while casually flipping through the menu, "The people present must also have to copy and paste, you call your colleague over." ”

"Liu Yatao?" Chi Nuo said after recalling for a while, "He is already married, and finally met on a blind date, a Guangdong girl who is five or six years younger than him, I heard that she is very good at cooking, and the two of them are very affectionate." ”

Chen Yi nodded, "That's good." ”

"I'm getting married, too. ”

Hearing Chi Nuo's sudden words, Chen Yi almost choked on the air.

"The cost of living in Beijing, for me has always been a little overloaded, although the salary has risen to 20,000, but I seriously thought about the future, if I get married, for the sake of the children to go to school, I will definitely buy a school district house, I don't have this confidence, my parents found me a job in Shijiazhuang TV station, the salary is almost 20,000, the money is the same, but the quality of life is definitely much more comfortable than here, and buying a house is much simpler. Chi Nuo analyzed himself by himself, and while refilling the teacups in front of Chen Yi and Chu Fan, he continued to say slowly, "And it's also a provincial capital, which is still much stronger than the third and fourth-tier cities. Kids, there's nothing missing, everyone is like sitting in a car that goes along the tracks, there's nothing to worry about, naturally, everything is there, it's very different from what I feel in Beijing, I feel like I'm taking risks every day, I don't know what I'll gain tomorrow and what I'll lose. ”

Chen Yi, who was deeply touched by his words, couldn't help but nod again, and sighed approvingly, "I understand." ”

"Yaoyao is my colleague, she has been in love with me since the day she met me on the day she entered the unit for internship, chased me for three years, after breaking up with you, she accompanied me out, she is from Tianjin, knowing that I was going back to my hometown, I resolutely resigned, a girl is willing to go to a strange city for me to start over, start a family, become a mother, it is too difficult, I decided to cherish her. Chi Nuo clasped his hands on the table, there was a kind of calmness in his eyes after a thousand sails, and he finally concluded, "Chen Yi, I didn't expect that I was the same as you, and I also chose a person who loved me, I just hope that I will not be like you in the future, and finally abandon this person, I know that I can be regarded as a very traditional and conservative man, once I choose who to marry, I think I will not regret it, even if I regret it, I am willing to spend my life to abide by the sacred marriage contract, because I don't want to hurt the person who loves me." ”

Chen Yi waited for him to finish speaking, raised the teacup and said, "I wish you happiness, you will definitely be happy." ”

After eating, Chi Nuo left first, Chen Yi watched him disappear into the sea of people, seeing that he never looked back, knowing that the evil relationship between the two was finally over.

On her thirtieth birthday, Chen Yi dined at home with Zhou Biyun at noon, her mother insisted on cooking for her daughter on this day, after so many years, it was just a few simple dishes, fish-flavored shredded pork and stir-fried king oyster mushrooms, sour and hot shredded potatoes and seaweed egg drop soup, Chen Yi ate the "taste of home" after school in childhood.

"Is it salty?" Zhou Biyun asked nervously rubbing his hands, "I haven't done it for a long time, so this salt is a little unpleasant." ”

Chen Yi held the hot rice and said contentedly, "It's delicious, it tastes exactly the same as when I was a child." ”

"It seems that I haven't cooked a big dish for you since I was a child, your mother and I, I am not the ingredients to be a chef, so I can only stir-fry. Zhou Biyun smiled shyly, "Today is your birthday, and I didn't get any big fish and meat, if you don't feel like you have enough to eat, we can go to the restaurant to make up for it...... The main thing is that now you don't lack anything, I stay at home every day, eat your flowers and yours, and my mother doesn't know what else to do for you besides cooking a meal. ”

Chen Yi was amused by her shy appearance, patted her arm and said, "Mom, as long as you are always healthy, don't get dementia, you can still watch me get older day by day, and you can still quarrel with me and make trouble with me, for me, it is the best gift." ”

"Look at you, you think I'm nagging, right?" Zhou Biyun's eyes were hot, and in order to hold back her tears, she picked up a chopstick and piled it on Chen Yi's bowl and said, "You eat quickly, eat it while it's hot, you don't have to finish all the dishes, I also bought you a cake." ”

"And the cake?" Chen Yi exclaimed coquettishly, "I'm afraid of fat, you don't know, you eat it yourself." ”

Zhou Biyun said, "You won't get fat immediately after eating two bites, it's very expensive, and it's fresh cream." ”

Later, Bai Qi came over and asked him to eat. Chen Yi said, "I'm thirty years old, and this mouthful of cream will not be metabolized for a year and a half." After that, she saw that Zhou Biyun still couldn't hold back her tears, and asked nervously, "Are you old ...... What's going on?"

"Time flies too fast-" Zhou Biyun wiped her eyes, "Why are you so big?"

"It turns out that I think I'm old!" Chen Yi couldn't laugh or cry.

"No, you cheap girl, I'm happy-" Zhou Biyun burst into tears and laughed, raised her hand to hit Chen Yi's head, crying and laughing, "I feel that you were such a big doll in my arms yesterday, and now you are such a wonderful big woman." She gestured with her hands in her arms, and then spread them out again, breathing a sigh of relief emotionally, "Yiyi, my baby, my mother likes you so much when she looks at you, you used to be so small, I really think every day, such a small child, to face such a big world, I am so afraid...... Now that you have grown up peacefully, I have no other hope for you, I just hope that your future life will still be safe and smooth, and every day will be plain and happy. ”

"Yes, Mom. Chen Yi put down his chopsticks, put his hands on his mother's knees, stared at her eyes with certainty, and said with a smile, "Can't you see? From now on, our days will not have big ups and downs, but will only get better and better. ”
