Xiao Huai was silent for a second or two, and his low voice was undulating without emotion: "Which loan?" ”

Guan Yi thought that he was a noble man who had forgotten things, and told him about his recent encounters in a curtive manner.

At first, Xiao Huai listened while driving, but later pulled over and turned off the car.

The car was quiet, and he sat motionless, listening to Guan Yi.

"I'm scraping together, and I'm still tens of millions away...... Originally, I didn't report hope, but I didn't expect that in the end, not only the loan was postponed, but the interest was also reduced a lot. ”

"Mr. Xiao, I know you've been very busy lately, why don't you wait until you have time to have a meal with me?"

There was no answer.

"Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Huai raised his hand against his temple and pressed twice: "Miss Guan is polite, in the future, if you need help, no matter how big or small, you can come to me directly." ”

When he spoke, his tone was calm and solemn, not like high-sounding polite words. Guan Yi was flattered and said a few thanks before hanging up.

Xiao Huai sat in the car and didn't move for a long time.

There was a car coming from the opposite side, the light of the headlights shone on the outline of his facial features, his dark eyes were bottomless, his two thin lips were pursed, and the whole person looked preoccupied.

After another moment, he slid off his phone's screen.

I haven't logged in to WeChat for a long time, and I almost forgot my password. The slender fingers dragged down the screen, found Lin Li's avatar at the very bottom, and clicked on it.

The chat history came into view.

02-14

Lin: "Where's the people?" Are you back? ”

02-15

Lin: "Guan Yi's dad passed away last night, so I'm going to see her after work. Are you still busy today? ”

02-16

Lin: "What are you doing?" Didn't reply to my message yesterday and didn't answer the phone? ”

Lin: "Daddy Guan will be cremated next Tuesday. ”

Hsiao: "I'm working. ”

Lin: "Ah, then you get busy first, and we'll talk later." ”

……

02-22

Lin: "Are you there?" If so, call back. ”

Hsiao: "I've been talking to clients all day today, and I'm still busy. Are you looking for me? ”

Xiao Huai stared at the screen, frowning deeply.

He must admit that after Valentine's Day, he has decided to distance himself from Lin Li. When he saw her news that day, he politely treated it coldly without thinking about it, and now looking at this sentence again, she must have come to him for Guan Yi's business.

Xiao Huai looked at the last text message intently, and only felt that there was an indescribable emotion gathered around his heart, which could not go up or down, stirring people's hearts to be impetuous.

Lin Li's connections are thin, and in order to help Guan Yi solve his urgent needs, he will naturally ask Ji Yunchong for help. However, she solved the loan problem through Ji Yunchong, why did she lie that he did it?

Is it because Guan Yi's father is a shareholder of Merrill Lynch? Or is there something else?

Xiao Huai thought about it, put aside his distractions, and started the car again.

After driving a few kilometers to buy a hot latte, he opened the lid of the cup and tasted it, and the taste was far less silky and mellow than he expected.

At this moment, the phone buzzed and vibrated and he looked down.

The new news came from Simon, who had not been in touch for a long time: "Dear cousin, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" I've finished a charcoal line drawing of my new work, and I'll send it to you first? You can estimate the price at will, and I'll go to Xiao Lili to charge [giggle] [giggle]. ”

A sketch soon appeared in Xiao Huai's field of vision.

On the streets of Berlin in the depths of winter, he held Lin Li's hand and led her across the street. At the same time, she raised her other hand and touched his forehead lightly.

The light became an eternal silhouette, he stared down at her, she looked up at him, the world so pure that only each other remained. Although neither of them knew the later ups and downs, after the painter's exquisite retouching, at this moment, he silently loved the woman, and happened to like himself too.

Xiao Huai was stunned.

Suddenly, the feeling of not going up or down, suppressing and suffocating, was released, as if a beam of electricity spread with the diastolic contraction of the heart, transmitted to the limbs, and merged into the blood.

He suddenly realized why he wanted to drink a latte with a strong milky aroma in the dead of night, it was the coffee she had brewed herself, and it was his first heart-pounding memory.

He also immediately realized why he could win many battles in the capital market, because he didn't care about gains and losses, and he didn't care about winning or losing.

However, in the world of love, after meeting his rival Ji Yunchong, he expressed his judgment as if the two of them were no longer calm and composed.

What he heard in his ears was all the "countless precious firsts" mentioned by Ji Yunchong; What he saw in his eyes was all the "beautiful scenery that Ji Yunchong and Lin Pi experienced together in those years" written in the newspaper, and he was so obsessed with the bits and pieces that happened between Ji Yunchong and Lin Fei that he forgot the short beautiful experience that he and Lin Pi once had.

Regret it? lightly decided that his relationship with her was not worth ten years of old love?

Xiao Huai stood tall in front of the glass door of the café, the door opened and closed, bringing a cool breeze, and his thoughts were blown much clearer by the wind. The glow of the neon sign reflects the backs of his hands and wrist joints, and the bamboo gold and jade cufflinks on the edges of the cuffs are plated with a layer of crystal clear color.

His eyes showed mixed feelings.

Running his finger across the screen, he didn't reply to Simon, but quickly dialed Lin Li's phone number.

However, the phone rang only a few times, and he silently cut it off again.

He treated her coldly first.

She is now Ji Yunchong's fiancée...... Where did he have a position to bother her again?

*

Lin Li's small bag rested on the bedside table in the senior ward, and the mobile phone in the inner pocket vibrated frequently, disturbing Ji Yunchong, who was lying on the bed reading the newspaper.

He took out his phone from his bag, looked at it, and the expression on his face froze instantly.

Caller, Xiao Huai.

At this moment, Lin Li walked out of the whole kitchen with a bowl of hot soup that had just been cooked. Ji Yunchong put his mobile phone in the quilt, raised his head unhurriedly, his face was very calm, except for his deep eyes looking at her for a moment.

Lin Pi was busy all afternoon, first went to the supermarket to buy fresh bones, and when he came back, he simmered them on a slow fire and boiled them for several hours. The kitchen was hot, her cheeks flushed with a thin flush, her smooth forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the first button on her collar was unbuttoned.

Lin Li blew the hot soup a little colder, and when he raised his eyes, he found Ji Yunchong's eyes staring at him, so he quickly buttoned his clothes after handing the soup over.

Ji Yunchong's gaze moved away from her body and tasted the soup in silence.

She was not idle, she sorted out the contents of her small bag and asked, "Have you seen my phone?" ”

"Nope."

She searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and couldn't help but suspect that she had forgotten her mobile phone at the cashier counter after calling Guan Yi when she was shopping in the supermarket, and left the hospital after explaining a few words to Ji Yunchong in a hurry.

Ji Yunchong took out his mobile phone from the quilt.

There was no password on his phone, so he could easily see all the call and chat logs.

The strange silence lasted for about ten minutes, and suddenly, Ji Yunchong smiled, the kind of smile that was usually the most common on his face, first raised his eyebrows slightly, and then curled his lips.

This time, however, his eyes were quickly bloodshot, his hands trembled slightly, and if he hadn't taken a deep breath in time to restrain his feelings, he would have almost slammed his phone into the corner.

He dialed the assistant's phone on his mobile phone, and his voice was gloomy.

"You sued me some time ago, Xiao Huai has completely cut off contact with her."

"Why did Xiao Huai contact her suddenly?"
