The taxi driver asked for the destination, and the car drove towards a private mansion in the western suburbs.

Shu Neem's heart sank to the bottom, it was a place where money was like flowing water, I was afraid that I had to be ready to use my credit card, and I didn't know if I could pay in installments.

There is no love in life......

The expansion of the circle of friends means that the cost of interpersonal communication has skyrocketed, but it is gratifying that she is about to leave her job, and there is no connection with work, and there seems to be no reason to continue to associate with Gao Min.

For example, Gao Min invited her to dine in Genting, on the other hand, the restaurant she invited back tonight could not be lower than the level of Genting, but eating at a top restaurant, once or twice was still supportable, and she couldn't afford to spend it three or five times.

"What do you think?" , Gao Min asked coldly.

"What kind of red wine do you want to open a bottle of, so that it can complement A-5 beef", Shu Neem's nonsense came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"How about Lafite in '82?" Gao Min pretended not to know, and enthusiastically built yì Dao.

Shu Neem smiled more ugly than crying, "82 is the beautiful year of the Bordeaux century, and Lafite is the most sought after by Chinese tyrants, of course it is enough!" ", with a written proof of preserving history, Lafite in 82 years has at least 80,000 bottles, and if you want her to pay back, just say, don't bring this!

Gao Min couldn't see the reluctance on Shu Mei's face, but her duplicity was so funny that he couldn't help but want to tease her again and again.

Shu Neem advocates equal rights for men and women in interpersonal communication, there is no reason to only let men pay, and now he is a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

Fortunately, the helpline came, Hu Lin's, very good, no matter what she said, she agreed to it, just to get rid of Gao Min.

"Hey, Sister Hu, is there something wrong?"

Hu Lin's voice was as ruthless as if he was extremely tired, "Well, can you come to the Left Bank Cafe, just the one on the riverside...... She asked me for a showdown."

"Left Bank coffee? Okay, I'll go right away."

Hu Lin didn't invite Shu Neem to help her, but she couldn't face the girl who claimed to love her husband alone.

Shu Neem didn't think that she could solve Hu Lin's family crisis in the past, she just wanted to cherish each other as much as she could.

This mood of wanting to say goodbye to someone was so explicit that Gao Min noticed it, and he watched Shu Neem pretending to be entangled and embarrassed on the side, so he followed her and asked, "Something's wrong?" ”

Shu Neem's expression was like a blooming firework, and she clasped her palms together and said, "I'm sorry, my friend has something to call me, do you want to find time to eat our meal?" ”

Gao Min understands the righteousness, "Oh, your friend's business matters"

But with a sigh of relief, Shu Neem pursed his lips and smiled, "Then-"

"Then master, let's turn around and go to the Left Bank café she said, which is quite famous on Binjiang Avenue, you know?" , Gao Min picked up Shu Neem's words and said to the taxi driver.

"I know, then I'll turn the corner", the driver wished, instead of taking passengers halfway, it is better to pull all the way to the bottom, anyway, drive the taximeter.

"It's not ......", Shu Neem was dumbfounded, "It's my friend's private matter, and you're going too?" ”

"It's still early, it's not too late to go to dinner after solving your friend's business", Gao Min took it for granted.

"We're going to talk about some emotional things, a little bit intimate—"

Gao Min interrupted her and asked bluntly, "Talking about private matters in a café?" ”

"yes"

"I'm just like the other customers in the café, and I don't mind being a stranger to your friends, and you can rest assured that I'll sit across the table from you and promise not to interrupt your conversation!"

Ah, depressed, very smart people, how can you not understand the subtext, I really don't have the eyesight to see it!

Regardless of how happy Shu was or not, the taxi followed Gao Min's will and drove to the Left Bank café.

When he arrived at the destination, Shu Neem was going to instruct Gao Min a few words, but he could just treat the conscious comrades until he could do so, think about it, and push the door into the café.

Standing in the aisle, Shu Neem looked around and saw Hu Lin sitting by the window and the girl with a lowered face opposite.

"I ask you to think from my point of view," said the girl without shame.

Hu Lin didn't respond, and the corners of her mouth twitched nervously.

Shu Neem was so angry in her heart, she walked over quickly, pulled a chair and put it on their table, sat down with great momentum, and said word by word: "This young lady, haven't you heard that men are not coveted like national territory, especially men with masters, so where do you come from?" ”

Gao Min sat at the next table, and he could hear what Shu Nee said clearly, and he could roughly guess what kind of private matter it was.

"You said something wrong", the girl retorted to Shu Mei, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Or that is your principle not mine, I only know that when I encounter love, I try my best to fight for it, I love Brother Chen, Brother Chen also loves me, this is the truth!" ”

The little girl is arrogant enough, and she completely abandons the three views! Shu Neem was shocked for a few seconds and regained his senses, "You have the right to pursue love, everyone has it!" But there is one rule, a married man must not touch it, if you touch it, it is called adultery, you know? Why should you be so young that you should ruin the reputation of someone else's family? ”

"I don't care", the girl's clear eyes looked at Lao Hulin, "There is no order in love, among the three people, the one who is not loved is the third party, Sister Hu, even so, do you have to keep Brother Chen, don't you feel wronged?" ”

Damn, this woman is a demagogic master, but her shameless words are eloquent, as if she has taken it all in.

"Miss", Shu Neem was impatient, "Please don't bring out the chicken soup of the little three, please stop in moderation, don't beat my sisters' husband's idea again, and don't be shameless and innocent, we don't eat your set!" ”

Gao Min covered his mouth with his hand and laughed lowly, Shu Neem's imperishment came up again, dealing with people who don't follow the rules, and the second stunned person is better than the reasonable person.

After a stalemate for a while, the girl threw out the killer idea, "I have Brother Chen's flesh and blood"

"You!" , Shu Neem panicked, turned her face to look at Hu Lin, and described it in four words, that is, her face was colorless, holding her hand, and feeling that her whole body was shaking.

Seeing that they were speechless, a flash of pride flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she took out the courage to break the kettle and said: "We were on a business trip in Mali, and it was Brother Chen who accompanied me to face the guns of the terrorists, and he had a chance to escape, but he still came back to save me." At that time, I prayed in my heart, as long as we can survive, I will not be separated from Brother Chen in this life, even if you don't get divorced, even if you don't have a name, I will be with him, because at the moment of life and death, he loves me with his life! ”

Hearing this, even Gao Min couldn't help frowning, the girl who forced the palace was a ruthless character, she didn't come to seek legal status or ask for compensation, her purpose was to break the dignity of the original partner one by one from spirit to psychology, and step on it to humiliate her.

This girl is really amazing, she says that she loves other people's husbands, as if she is the one who is righteous and stern, no matter what you say, she looks like she can't get in.

Damn, I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, I'm sorry! Shu Neem is obviously also aware of the problem, who won't say it if he's angry, just don't divorce, look at how you are together without a name or share, and giving birth to a child is also an illegitimate child.

Shu Neem was about to say a few words that tore his face with a tooth for a tooth, and his hand was held down by Hu Lin, "Girl, it's not that I can't fulfill you, how can I decide this kind of thing alone, what you are saying now is one-sided, have you confirmed what he thinks?" As you must know, we have families with children who say it's easier said than done! ”

"Brother Chen loves me", the girl has to set a sentence from beginning to end.

"He also loves his parents, he loves his children, he loves our family"

"I also have a child, Brother Chen will not leave us, he is so kind!"

"You innocent girl's family has to be upside down, what else do I have to say?"

"A man's heart is gone, and everything you have done is in vain, it must be very sad, right?"

At this point, the girl got up as a victor and left the scene with a smile.

"I never dreamed that one day I would be laughed at and pitiful by the young girl who robbed my husband," Hu Lin smiled wryly.

Shu Neem tried hard to find words to comfort her, "Brother Chen is just confused for a while, like a cold, and if he is too strong, he will return to normal!" ”

"Cold? That's a good idea! But since the last time they opened a room in the hotel was caught by us, my heart is like a fire roasted, I feel uncomfortable, you know what, I am particularly uncomfortable, looking at the gray hair of my parents and my son who is about to enter junior high school, I said to myself Bear with it, take a step back and open the sky, who has not yet taken a fork in the road, as long as he can go home and continue to live a good life, what can not be beared? But I couldn't stop feeling nauseous when I thought of the two of them going to bed, what do you say I should do, let him decide, whether to go or stay", after saying it in one breath, Hu Lin seemed to be carrying an endless load, and finally collapsed on the back of the chair tiredly.

Gao Min poked Shu Neem, Shu Neem turned his head, the two warm lips were close to the auricle, and the back was irritated, I rub, do you want to eat pig ears, why are you so close! Shu Neem shattered his thoughts and glared at Gao Min angrily.

Gao Min raised his eyebrows lightly, lowered his voice and said, "I see that your friend is in a bad state, she has already handed over the car, let's send her home"

Shu Neem felt that this construction was acceptable, so he turned his head and said to Hu Lin: "Sister, don't think about it, you can't hide when things come, if you don't feel happy, there is no need to be aggrieved and make do with life, in short, let's go home first, and then make a decision after careful consideration, do you think?" ”

Hu Lin nodded, and walked out of the café with the help of Shu Neem. Gao Min called his car, and the driver had already parked his car and parked it not far from the café to wait.

After getting into the car, Hu Lin didn't say a word, she looked at the bright lights outside the car window in a trance, and Shu Neem was silent all the way as if she was afraid of disturbing her.

Sending Hu Lin home, Shu Neem wrapped her coat tightly and covered half of her face and got into the carriage, Gao Min changed to the back seat and waited for her, swept off the snowflakes above her head for her, and stuffed a can of warm coffee into her hand, "warm your hands"

"It's snowing—it's rarely snowing so much in the south," said Shu, holding the coffee can in both hands to warm his icy cheeks.

The snowflakes outside the window fell from the sky one after another, Gao Min watched for a while and retracted his gaze, smiling, "I think of the snow-covered old Beijing city, there is a lake in front of our school Shuimu Tsinghua University, which will freeze in the middle of winter, and many brothers and sisters skate on the frozen lake, what a happy time."

"You weren't skating at the time?" , Shu Nee asked.

Gao Min shrugged, "I have a pitiful lack of spare time, participating in international mathematical modeling competitions, writing papers, practicing the piano, and playing Go...... You must know that it is difficult for a child in his early teens to find close friends and interests on a college campus without his peers, and when the brothers play the guitar and sing ballads to pursue girls, we are still ignorant and focused on schoolwork! ”

Shu sighed, "Alas, then you really missed a lot of fun, such as walking on the campus path with your beloved girl, and then getting together with your classmates to talk about rock and roll girls and talk about the infinite possibilities of the future."

Gao Min squinted at her, "It's as if you've experienced it."

"Ouch, are you laughing at me? I'm different from you, my extracurricular life can be enriched", Shu Nee folded his fingers, and told Gao Min about the activities he had participated in, and finally concluded, "Except for campus love, I didn't fall behind, regardless of the activities in the class or the activities of the department, I actively participated, and I won the best debater award in the inter-school debate competition. ”

Gao Min couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are you sure people are looking at you?" ”

Shu Neem rolled his eyes and thought about it carefully, judging from the projection angle of the Hong Kong brother's gaze, he was really not sure, maybe he was looking at the third debater Yin Fangfang, thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said nothing.

Gao Min kept his demeanor and didn't laugh out loud, he paused and said: "My adolescence has not been wasted, am I still in love, I have been talking about getting married soon, this is slightly better than you, right?" ”

Shu Neem laughed twice, thinking that you would compare with me again after the negotiation was completed, and what was there to show off if the conversation collapsed in the end.

"I'll send you a handle to attack, but you are as sorry as gold", Gao Min was surprised.

"It shows that I am a kind person and don't poke at your sore spots", after that, Shu Neem changed his playful tone and said calmly: "Even if it is not negotiated, it is the past of life experience, sometimes it is good to experience the process, there is no need to be demanding about the result"

"I don't feel used to it if you don't say a few words", Gao Min gestured with his hand on the top of her head, "a circle of holy light on his head"

Shu Melia sighed, "Okay, then I'll tell you the truth, I've been talking about my girlfriend for six or seven years, eh, aren't you the most efficient, why are you going to talk about flying when it's coming, and you can't let your ex-fiancée carry it alone, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm also wrong", Gao Min admitted very simply, "My mistake is to mistake the daily companionship as the relationship between men and women, we are very familiar, just like sisters and brothers, this kind of relationship does not make me feel uncomfortable, I think the life after marriage is the same, there is no reason not to get married, but it is always just my personal thoughts, and when I meet someone who makes her love surge, our relationship will be shattered"

Shu Neem stretched out his index finger and shook it, "I think the fundamental difference between the two of you lies in the difference in your views on feelings, what you like is the long-term companionship of the plain, not very expressive of love, but the feelings are long-lasting, your girlfriend obviously likes dramatic passion, and the person who has a violent chemical reaction with her can get her blue eyes more, if you communicate more and find a way to get along that suits you, maybe the result will be complete and unknown, many times, you are defeated in 'I think', 'I think'!" ”

"In fact, I don't regret it, I don't feel pity, but I am glad ......", Gao Min's eyes flashed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be removed, "She can meet someone who falls in love at first sight, and I will also meet someone who shares my life with me"

It's really an optimist, Shu Neem blinked and didn't answer. Gao Min looked down at her, his expression was gentle, and he said cautiously, "You have a very thorough view of feelings, and the future ...... Do you have any plans to start a family? ”

Shu Neem stroked his hair and shook his head, "I used to have a little thought, but now it's completely gone."

The smile on Gao Min's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked in a lost voice, "Why?" ”

"No, don't you think love is particularly vain, since you can fall in love at first sight, you can see love again, people's hearts are changing rapidly, who can say who will fall in love in the next second, why do we use our limited lives to accompany a person to bet on an unknown tomorrow? Personally, if I can't go all the way to the end, what is the difference between being accompanied for a while and being a person all the time? Whether you love it or not, this kind of change in the middle of the way will affect the state of mind, let's just say my sisters, how miserable, even if it is whitewashed and encouraged to fall down and get up again, it is not a big deal, but in fact, standing up, facing a pile of messes, I feel that life is stumbling anyway, why let others dominate my joys, sorrows, and sorrows? ”

Looking up and seeing Gao Min's expression of excessive surprise, Shu Neem expressed puzzlement, "Did I say something terrible, look at you who shocked you!" ”

Gao Min softened his expression, "You won't change your mind?" ”

Shu Neem thought about it seriously, "Maybe meeting someone who thinks the same as me will change, but it's not easy for me to meet another person, right?" ”

The conversation was overly engrossed, and when the car stopped, neither of them was aware of it.

"Mr. Gao, it's here," the driver reminded softly.

Shu Neem threw himself to the window of the car and looked out, it was an underground garage, "It doesn't look like the western suburbs"

"It's snowing heavily and the road is slippery and unsafe, so it's better to go home and eat"

The two got out of the car, Gao Min pulled Shu Neem to the elevator room, Shu Neem turned around, and the car drove away, "Your driver is quite familiar, you went to the police station and followed you with him, right?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"With a strong physique and good looks, he shouldn't be an ordinary driver, right?"

"Well, it's my bodyguard", Gao Min took two steps to be alert, "He has a date, put away your curiosity!" ”

"What do you mean, my eyes are purely appreciative of beauty, okay?"

"Understood", Gao Min echoed, "Why did I forget that you are the one who can't get married, it's just a passing moment for you!" ”

"I want to taunt me and I'm still turning a corner, I can hear it, Mr. Gao!"

Taking the luxury elevator of Gao Min's house again, Shu Neem still feels very fresh, "You must be in a good mood when you go home from work every day, super five-star treatment, and I will see Tianle in exchange!" ”

"Your pleasure is tied to matter?"

"In addition to the sense of accomplishment that my work brings me, most of my happiness is achieved through material things, which is the warmth of the world, which is irresistible!" , raised his eyes and saw Gao Min looking at her with rare eyes, and immediately said: "Your spiritual level is higher than mine, you don't need to talk about it, you must have experienced a much more advanced way of happiness, right, I know!" ”

Gao Min said half-truthfully: "I'm quite happy just looking at you"

Shu Neem frowned, "What, take me as a joke?" ”

Gao Min didn't explain, but smiled and said, "I'll just look at you and celebrate, can't you?" ”

"Okay, okay, I'll serve the people, the elevator is on, hurry into the house, but I'm frozen!"

Shu Neem walked into the house, taking off his coat while walking, smart home is convenient, with the sound of footsteps, the light source in the room lit up.

The small forest in the glass curtain wall is a southern scenery, and the pink Dutch peony is blooming brightly, and Shu Neem is not only envious but also envious, thinking about opening up a plot of land at home to plant grass and flowers in the spring of the next year.

The induction door opened, the moment Shu Neem stepped in, the warm and humid air mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers came to the face, the flowing water was murmuring, and the orchid bell grass shook a string of white bell-shaped flowers hanging its head, wet, very elegant and lovely.

Shu Neem sniffed the sweet fragrance of flowers and walked around, she couldn't let Gao Min work alone, so she was too polite, lingered again and again, and still raised her feet and went to the kitchen.

After washing his hands in the sink of the operating table, Shu Nee asked Gao Min, who was wearing an apron, "Do you need me to do it?" ”

Gao Min raised his head, "Oh, no, you can rest, dinner is not complicated, just pay attention to the heat!" ”

"yes, what do we eat?"

"A-5 black wool Wagyu beef, 82 years of Rafite, do you think it's still possible?"

Shu Neem sat down next to the operating table, and said with a smile, "Mr. Gao, I'm simply flattered, 82-year-old Lafite is so expensive, open a bottle and one less bottle, you still keep it for collection, it's too wasteful for someone like me who doesn't know how to drink alcohol!" ”

"My high someone's hospitality has always been to repay Qiong Yao, especially friends who can talk, I can give everything I have!"

"If you are so generous to your friends, wouldn't you be so generous to your lover—", Shu Neem couldn't find the right adjective to exaggerate.

Gao Min bends down to bring out the steak from the oven and serves it on a plate, accompanied by Australian lobster tails, and garnished with asparagus cherry tomatoes on the side, which makes people look at the index finger.

When the dishes were brought to the table, Gao Min took red wine and crystal wine glasses, and poured wine with a napkin and a wine bottle. After Shu Neng sat down, he continued what he had just said: "To my lover, mine is hers!" ”

Shu Neem applauded warmly, "Real man! If you want to get married, you should let go of your arms, know more girls, regardless of whether you are far or near, just say that you have dark material capital, a lot of girls with both talent and sex, give me a chance, and a better future beckons to you."

"You're worried about yourself," Gao Min chuckled and gave a glance.

Shu Neem chewed a peony and drank a big sip of red wine, and after tasting it for a long time, he didn't taste anything special about more than 80,000 wines, "What do I have to worry about, it's nothing more than doing my job well, saving a few more pension money, and then I have no regrets!" ”

"Then your expectations are not high"

"Expectations are lowered, and there will be fewer times of disappointment, come, cheers"

Shu Melia swallowed saliva and sent the beef cut into his mouth, the meat was tender and juicy, delicious enough to swallow her tongue, before she could savor it, the mobile phone ringtone that was not willing to be lonely rang again, it was Yin Fangfang, an old classmate who had only cheated the corpse once in a long time in the address book.

Chao Gao Min smiled apologetically, and Shu Neem connected the phone, "Hey, Xiao Shu, are you listening?" ”

Shu Melia withdrew his mobile phone a little farther away, "I said can you be quieter, you can be heard shouting three miles away!" ”

Gao Min interjected at the right time, "It's very energetic to listen to the voice"

Covering the earpiece, Shu Nee whispered: "My college classmate, born with a loud voice, is the third debater of the school debate team, and when he talks about it, he relies on increasing the volume to suppress the opponent's debater."

"I said what are you doing sneakily, I have a happy event to tell you, can you prepare a red envelope for me?"

"Happy event? Have you been promoted to director? ”

"Where are your sensitive professional characteristics, forget it, I'll announce it directly, sisters, I'm getting married! And Qin Maniac! ”

"Qin ...... Qin Feng? Didn't he get married, you didn't talk nonsense, did you? ”

"It's true, I quit my job, and I'll go to Beijing to join him tomorrow!"

"I said sister, I don't want to hear anything like your third party interfering or greening Qin Feng's wife, understand?"

"What do you think of me, am I that kind of person?" , Yin Fangfang was aggrieved, "Qin Feng's wife ran away with a man who was running away, I boldly attacked and won Qin Feng as soon as the opportunity came, he was embarrassed at first, saying that he was a second marriage, I was a first marriage, I feel sorry for me, little sample, it's not in vain that I like him since I was in college!" ”

"Didn't your mother let you find a second-hand man?" , I don't know if it's too much, Shu Neem felt that Gao Min didn't look right when he heard the "second-hand man", so he didn't care about him, and he would deal with Yin Fangfang first.

"That was my request when I was twenty-three years old, and I am thirty-one years old this year, and she wishes I would marry early, so I don't care what kind of second-hand I am."

"Well, I know, congratulations, my long-cherished wish for many years has been fulfilled!"

"Because I'll leave tomorrow, I don't have time to get together with a few of you, so I'll call you, one is to report the good news, and the other is to explain the intimacy, the red envelope hit my account, and the gift money that I gave out for so many years can finally be recovered, haha"

Gao Min took advantage of Shu Neem's phone call to cut the beef on the plate for her piece by piece, and then pushed it back to her.

"Thank you", Shu Neem said vaguely while eating meat, "My friend is very annoying, but he is very kind, his wallet is about to deflat, he feels like he is giving gifts all year round, and some couples are simply fraudsters, flash marriages and flash marriages and red envelopes"

"Then you will also get married, and the gift money will be returned at one time", Gao Min said with a smile.

"If you can't bear it, you need a little selfless dedication, for example, Mr. Gao, you, almost fell into the quagmire of marriage, fortunately you withdrew in time, otherwise you will become a second-hand man, of course, second-hand does not damage your worth, but intact as new is more likeable, isn't it?"

Gao Min put down the knife and fork, pressed the corner of his lips with a napkin, leaned back in the chair, and said teasingly, "You really take your views on marriage and love for granted!" I'm guessing you're feeling too much negative energy today and causing cognitive biases."

"Deviation?" , Shu Melia shook his index finger, "Let's talk about love first, you heard my classmate call, her big voice is similar to a horn, the person she wants to marry is also my classmate, my male classmate and his wife were also going to love each other and get married, because life is unsatisfactory, because of financial constraints, because of such and such things quarreled back and forth, and finally followed the man who drove the BMW, where did the great love go, what true love is priceless, how can the love of the bicycle be compared with the love of BMW." Besides, marriage is similar to eating sugar cane, chewing and chewing are all scum, remove trivial quarrels, how much sugar is left? ”

Gao Min suddenly felt a headache, because of someone's extremism, he tried to convince her, "It's like an emotional analysis question, it varies from person to person, and you can get the correct answer if you only need to solve the problem if there is no mistake." You're not them, and you won't make their mistakes! ”

Emotional parsing? It makes sense that beauty and money always follow the principle of optimal allocation, love? Shu Neem sarcastically picks the corners of his mouth, which naturally comes with *.
