Chang An left a message for Zhou Wei: "I just met Jiahui, and she asked me to go back to eat during the New Year." ”

A very interrupted piece of content, even the tone is extremely flat, as if nothing has happened for so many years, and it is like calling her back during the New Year.

Zhou Wei did not reply to that message, and it was not until the afternoon that Chang An received a call from Zhou Wei.

At that time, she had just returned to the hotel from the hospital, Xiaozhi took a nap, and there was a nurse watching there, so she wanted to go back to her room to take a shower, and then take a rest, she didn't close her eyes all night last night.

Zhou Wei's phone came at that time, she was wearing pajamas, wiping her hair while answering the phone.

"Hey..."

Chang An returned to the bedside and sat down, glanced at his watch, "Are you late at night over there?"

"Well, I'm sorry to be looking for you until now. ”

Chang An smiled, "I'm sorry for this kind of thing, I know you're busy." ”

Although she can't see others, she will pay attention to the news on the Internet every day, and the matter of Rongbang's listing in the United States has been very hot on the Internet during this time, so Chang An probably knows some of his itinerary over there.

"It's a bit busy, but there's still time to call you. ”

Then Chang An heard a slight "bang" over there, and she asked, "Where are you?"

"Just arrived at the hotel. ”

"Tired, aren't you?"

Originally, Chang An thought he was going to say "okay", after all, he has been in and out of the wind and waves for so many years, even when Rongbang was in crisis, Zhou Wei rarely showed any decline, and never brought the irritability and exhaustion at work to his home, he seemed to be at ease in front of Chang An.

Chang An always felt that he had endless energy and couldn't be crushed.

But he sighed softly, and said, "Well, I'm tired..."

Suddenly, Chang Anxin was stirred, and Zhou Xin's tired appearance even appeared in his mind, he should have loosened his tie, taken off his suit, and most of his body was stuck in the sofa.

When he is uncomfortable, he will pinch his eyebrows or hold his forehead.

"Not going well?"

"No, it went well. ”

Detailed arrangements have been made before coming, and there are local teams to cooperate in all aspects, but such a huge project, even if it goes well, it must be passed one by one, and the most important thing is that there is also those invisible pressures.

"I just miss you a little bit..."Zhou Wei finished speaking, and he laughed too.

Chang An rubbed the half-wet towel in his hand, his heart was a little soft, and before he could speak, he sneered, "It's quite numb, right?"

“……”

"Forget it, anyway, you accompany Xiaozhi in the hospital all day long, and you only have that child left in your heart, and I guess you don't have time to think about me. ”

It's really... Chang An felt that he was a bit of a broken jar, and one second he said that he was numb, and the next second he ignored it.

Now it's not just numb, he's like a child, angry.

"You even want to eat Xiaozhi's vinegar?" Chang An couldn't laugh or cry, "It seems that he is really tired..."

"Hmph!" the other side seemed a little unhappy, and was silent for a while, "What about you, you really don't want me at all?"

“……”

"Do you want to?"

“……”

"Huh, do you want to?"

Zhou Wei began to chase and ask, his tone was really like a child who refused to admit defeat, Chang An pursed his lips and smiled, he couldn't stand it anymore.

"You'll be thirty-six for the New Year. ”

"Huh?"

"Or the boss of a soon-to-be-listed company, please don't go back to your room and beg for candy like a child, okay?" Chang An was not polite at all.

Zhou Wei scratched his forehead and smiled, "Who said I beg for candy? I don't eat sweets, I want to beg for milk..."

"Ahem!" Chang An almost choked to death, "You... Why do you start to be indecent in three sentences?"

"Am I not serious?

"You..."

"What am I?" Zhou Wei's tone sounded ordinary, "It's you who want to be crooked, color embryo..."

Chang An was already so annoyed that the roots of his ears were hot.

In this kind of faint paragraph, she probably can't talk about him in her life.

"I don't want to tell you, international calls are so expensive, you should rest early!"

She was about to hang up the phone, but Zhou Yan didn't hear it well, so she quickly stopped, "Okay, okay, I'll be joking, let's get down to business, your message said that you saw Chang Jiahui today?"

"Hmm..."

"Reached out to her?"

"Hmm..."

"What did you say after we met?"

"Everything. ”

Zhou Wei was silent for a moment.

Chang An said before that if she was given a little more time, she needed to take her time and take it step by step, so Zhou Wei always thought that it would not be so fast.

"Why did you suddenly think to contact your sister?"

"It's not sudden, it's just..."Chang An could feel the desire and strength in his heart, but he didn't know how to translate it into words to tell Zhou Wei, as for someone from Yugang who had investigated her, she wouldn't say anything about it, at this juncture, she didn't want Zhou Wei to be distracted by her own worries.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's almost the New Year, I want to meet Jiahui, and I have to contact them sooner or later. ”

She tried to make her tone sound normal.

Zhou Yan didn't think much about it, and only asked, "What is her attitude after she knows?"

"If you can have any attitude, you will cry, cry for almost three hours, and scold you while crying!"

"Scold me?" Zhou Wei was depressed, "What are you scolding me for?"

"Isn't it just you, Jiahui always felt that you recruited the kidnapping back then, and you didn't take good care of me and made me suffer so much!"

Chang Jiahui really thinks so, in the matter of her sister, she has no logic and reason at all.

Although the kidnappers are dead, she still has to put all the blame on Zhou Wei's head.

"Decaying people, profiteers, scumbags... If you make so much money and don't know how to do some good deeds, you must be too immoral to be retributed, but why should all these retributions be on you?"

Chang An still remembers that in the breakfast shop in the morning, Chang Jiahui took tears and snot, covered the crumpled napkin and scolded Zhou Wei, and the appearance of gritting her teeth was eager to break people into pieces.

"You wait, when you come back from the United States, Jiahui will definitely look for you. ”

Thinking that she was going to hold a funeral for Chang An more than two years ago, but Zhou Wei refused to attend, so noisy... Zhou Wei didn't feel his scalp tighten.

"You persuade her, coax, after all, I am still her brother-in-law. ”

Chang An couldn't help laughing, "You also know Jiahui's temper, I can't bear it." ”

"I'll go back to Aunt Ying..."

Zhou Wei's tone is really afraid of Chang Jiahui, thinking about it in the past two years, although it is not common to meet, but after all, it is still in a circle, I have seen it once at an event, Zhou Wei still went up to say hello embarrassedly, but the girl was good, and she glanced at her directly, "Ouch, who is this, Mr. Zhou!"

At that time, there were colleagues and friends present next to him, and when he asked Zhou Wei who this girl was, Zhou Wei said that she was a sister-in-law.

"Who is your sister-in-law? Which is your sister-in-law? Don't you dare to be it, you can't climb high!"

It made Zhou Wei very embarrassed at the time.

On the phone, Zhou Wei told Chang An about it, and Chang An was funny and sad.

In the years since she left, it seems that everyone is suffering the effects of her departure.

After a pause, Chang An suddenly said, "Jiahui is about to get married." ”

"Married?"

"Well, my boyfriend is an interior designer, and half of your peers are a year younger than her, and the wedding date is scheduled for May next year. ”

Zhou Wei thought about it, but it was actually normal.

Although Chang Jiahui has always called Chang An "sister", the two are actually the same age, and they are not young, and they are indeed going to get married.

Zhou Wei didn't ask Chang Jiahui any more questions, "Did you talk about others?"

"What?"

"Others..."

"Anyone else?"

Chang An didn't understand at first, Zhou Yan coughed over there, as if he wanted to say goodbye, and finally asked, "Your brother... Didn't you say anything about him?"

Chang An then understood, thinking that this man was really...

"I said it, how could I not say it!"

"What did you say?" Zhou Wei's tone was obviously a little impatient.

Chang An deliberately cleared his voice, "I told a lot about his recent situation, and gave me his new contact information, I was thinking about calling him tomorrow and making an appointment to have a meal first." ”

"Not allowed!"

“……”

"Chang An, I warn you, I'm here, if you dare to hide from me to see him, I'll be the first to do you when I go back, do you hear?"

He was fierce, Chang An could fully imagine that he was going to eat people with a calm face at this time.

Chang An smiled, "Teasing you, so anxious!"

“……”

"My brother has been running outside for the past few years, rarely staying in Yunling, and Jiahui has not much contact with him, only saying that he will go to see Aunt Ying during the New Year's holidays, and he will also go back to the grave on the day of my father's death. ”

This is the truth, Chang Jiahui said that not long after Chang An left, Chen Haodong also left Yunling, and at first there was no contact between the two sides for a long time, until Chang Wangde died, Chen Haodong came to attend the funeral and left his contact information again.

"But Jiahui said that my brother is still single!"

"Chang An!" Zhou Wei's voice raised a little, "Don't forget that you are Mrs. Zhou, you have a husband, and now you have a child, you have a good sense of proportion in what you say and do!"

Chang An was stunned by the yelling, and then fought back: "What did I say, I just said that my brother is still single, do you need to be so fierce to me?"

“……”

"Besides, I haven't been in touch with him for many years, even if we meet, it's normal, you went on a blind date with that Miss Tian before, I didn't say anything to you, please take some minds, okay?"

Chang An counterattacked on the spot, every word was fine, and there was no room for refutation at all.

Okay, okay, she is amazing now, and she is no longer the Miss Chang who can endure everything three years ago.

Zhou Wei touched his nose, "I... Try to pay attention next time!"

“……”

"But you, Xiaozhi has already started to call your mother, you said that you run out all day long, can you rest assured that you will throw such a small child to the nurse? ”

He is like pouring beans, and he has a posture of knowing and moving with emotion.

Chang An couldn't help laughing, thinking that this man's methods of coaxing and deceiving people were really endless.

A transatlantic phone call lasted for more than half an hour, and finally Chang An strongly asked to hang up, saying goodnight, she threw the mobile phone on the table, and she didn't bother to blow her hair, anyway, her hair was short, and she could dry it in an air-conditioned room for a while.

She stood at the window, the floor of the express hotel was not high, her room was on the fourth floor, just opposite the road below, looking at the cars flowing back and forth, the figures walking, everyone seemed to have their own direction, busy, never stopping.

Chang Jiahui really came to Chang An in the evening, or after working overtime.

At about eight o'clock, she sent a voice message to Chang An on WeChat, asking her to go out for a drink, Chang An had just put Xiaozhi to sleep at that time, a little tired, and he was not very happy to go out again, and finally the two of them made an appointment to meet in the hotel room.

At around half past nine, Chang An had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and the doorbell rang.

She walked over and took a look in the cat's eye, only to see Chang Jiahui's chocolate-colored head.

The door was opened......

"Hurry up, hurry up, help me carry it!"

Before Chang An could react, Chang Jiahui had already stuffed a supermarket shopping bag, and there was a loud sound in it.

"What is this?"

She opened it and looked at it, there were two bottles of red wine and several canned beer sealed with plastic film, and Chang Jiahui had several other bags in her hand.

Chang An was frightened by her posture.

"What are you doing here?"

Chang Jiahui grunted and put the things in her hand on the small table against the wall, and took a breath, "I took half a day off tomorrow morning, and I plan to talk with you all night here, you go and give me two cups." ”

“……”

Chang An was helpless, and when she washed the two cups for making tea and drank in the room and brought them over, Chang Jiahui had already spread all the things she bought on the table.

Duck neck, duck gizzards, skewers, pineapple and dragon fruit in a diced plastic package, and even more exaggeratedly, she also brought a whole fried chicken.

Chang An: "......"

"Come, sit here, that's for you!" Chang Jiahui left the only chair in the room for Chang An, moved the small square stool on the side of the tatami mat, fished out two glasses, and took the wine bottle from the shopping bag.

"Red or beer?"

“……”

"It's better to be popular first, I know you don't like beer very much!"

Chang Jiahui took a bottle of wine to the table, tore the golden tin foil at the mouth of the bottle, Chang An was about to sit down, and suddenly heard her shout: "Ah, it's broken!"

Chang An's buttocks, which had just been attached to the chair, suddenly rose again.

"What's wrong?"

"Forgot to buy a corkscrew!"

Chang An was stunned, "Why hasn't your shocking problem changed for so many years!"

Chang Jiahui grinned and grimaced, Chang An could only get up, "Wait a minute, I'll call the front desk downstairs and see if I can borrow one first." Here she was just about to go to the landline, only to hear Chang Jiahui muttering: "It's time to perform the real technology, look at it!"

She raised her hand and stroked her shoulder, grabbed the red wine bottle between her legs, pinched the neck of the wine bottle with one hand, and pressed the wooden cork with the thumb of the other.

"Eh..."Chang An wanted to stop it, but before she could do it, she only heard a "pop", and the cork was forced into the bottle by her.

"Alright, a full glass first?"

Chang An: "......"

Chang Jiahui drank too much that night, Chang An was sober, she used to be a little drunkard, and she was addicted to alcohol, but in the past few years, she has become very restrained, she is not easy to touch all addictive things, and even the cigarettes that have been smoking for two years have recently been trying to quit.

Chang An felt that she should be a more self-disciplined person, so when Chang Jiahui poured a cup of glass, she just sat and watched Chang Jiahui drink.

In the end, Chang Jiahui took herself down.

She was not honest when she lay down, and poured beans out of her mouth.

“… Sister, you didn't do anything wrong, you were a victim from beginning to end... You know, you're a victim, so don't do everything by yourself!"

"You have suffered so much and suffered so many sins...... You can still stand up on your own, really, I can't help but admire you..."

"Sister, you are the best, you have done what most people can't do... I'm so proud of you, so don't... Don't have an inferiority complex......"

“……”

“……”

Chang Jiahui almost went down on the ground in the end, Chang An had no choice, so he could only help her to the bed, fortunately, she didn't go crazy with alcohol, she fell asleep on the bed, Chang An simply washed her face, took off her clothes, covered the quilt, and cleaned up the food packaging boxes on the table.

She took another shower, pulled the covers and lay down on the bed.

Maybe it was because of a little alcohol, or maybe it was because he took a nap in the afternoon, Chang An's lying down without sleep, and what was going back and forth in his mind was the content of the chat with Chang Jiahui just now.

In the past three years, she has been unable to have children, and Xiaozhi, everything is like a boulder pressed on Chang An's mouth, maybe she can get a moment of peace now, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, sooner or later one day her affairs will be known, and at that time, the huge wave of public opinion, everyone's fingers, and even the pressure from the Zhou family alone may overwhelm her, and all this is what she chooses to come back and has to bear when she returns to Zhou Wei.

Chang An had to go to the hospital early in the morning the next day, because Xiaozhi had an examination in the morning, and her family had to be present, so she had to rush over, but Chang Jiahui didn't wake up from a hangover, and Chang An slept like a dead pig with her hands and feet, so she had no choice but to let her sleep.

Chang An left a note at the head of the bed, telling her to wake up, wash up and go to work by herself.

Xiao Zhi has recovered well after surgery, and she has been very obedient recently, Chang An walked to the door of the hospital and temporarily changed his mind, and walked a little longer to buy two small cakes, intending to use them as a reward for Xiao Zhi's recent performance.

Chang An carried the cake and her own breakfast, the time was still early, she was not in a hurry, and slowly walked out of the elevator, just as Zhou Wei entered; Here in the morning, over there in the evening.

"If you have a party, you may be late, and I won't look for you before going to bed. ”

Chang An pinched his phone and replied with a "hmm".

"Say goodnight to you in advance!"

Immediately followed by a gif, kissing the lips, with a big mouth, and I don't know where he saved the emoji.

Chang An was amused, but didn't reply, and walked into the ward with his mobile phone in his coat pocket.

The door to the ward was ajar, and the nurse had just come out of the bathroom.

"How is Xiaozhi feeling today?" Chang An asked, looking up and seeing that there was still someone sitting on the sofa inside.

She chuckled in her heart at that time, as if the strings were broken, and she was stunned for two or three seconds before she remembered to call someone.

Chang An lightly lowered his voice in his heart.

"Mom..."
