-- Unspeakable love, just because of fear of losing.

Cocoon self-restraint, go farther and farther.

***

Shapey took a grape from the fruit bowl and tossed it into his mouth, beckoning the waiter to open all the beers.

"We all know their relationship, and we acquiesce."

His joking words completely changed when they heard the ears of those who cared for him.

Yu Yanjie and Sun Xiaoshou glanced at each other, and the latter had already understood.

Seeing a few people standing still, Shar Pei beckoned everyone, "Come, let's continue, drink, you're welcome!" ”

Yu Yanjie sat next to Liang Ju, a little questioning, "Say, what's the matter with you two." ”

Liang Ju's face was full of jokes, so that people couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

"Can't you just make me crazy once?" She asked half-truthfully, the confusion in her eyes had already faded.

Yu Yanjie was frightened and didn't speak for a long time. Liang Ju took a bite of the watermelon and glanced thoughtfully at the tightly closed door of the private room.

The woman who ran out just now, she seemed to have seen it somewhere.

***

"Sister Ling!"

Ah Yuan finally caught up with Zhong Ling and reached out to grab her wrist.

Zhong Ling was frightened and looked back, "A-Yuan? ”

She looked down at Ah Yuan grabbing her hand, and Ah Yuan realized that something was wrong and reluctantly let go of his hand.

"Are you alright?" He asked cautiously.

"I'm fine." Zhong Ling smiled reluctantly, "Why did you come out?" She looked behind Ah Yuan, but she didn't see that person, and she inevitably felt a loss in her heart.

Ah Yuan pretended to touch his trouser pocket and said, "I'll come out and smoke a cigarette." ”

There were waiters coming and going with fruit bowls around them, and when they saw Zhong Ling, they all shouted, "Sister Ling!" ”

Zhong Ling nodded to them one by one, which was regarded as a response.

Someone looked at her and Ah Yuan with different eyes, Zhong Ling lowered her head and pinned the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears.

"Go back quickly, don't let me affect everyone's atmosphere."

"It's okay, I'm out anyway, I'll send you back at such a late hour."

"No, I still have something to do."

Knowing that she was deliberately hiding from herself, Ah Yuan looked at Zhong Ling for a long time, and some words were hidden in her heart for a long time and didn't know whether to say them or not.

"Sister Ling, I..."

He raised his hand and wanted to put it on Zhong Lingling's shoulder, but he couldn't stop halfway through it.

"Zhong Ling!"

A deep voice came from behind him, and Ah Yuan heard orderly footsteps, step by step, from far to near.

Zhong Ling tilted her head and saw Mao Dong standing in the aisle between the boxes on both sides a few meters away, he was standing there so suddenly, his handsome appearance made people can't help but be moved.

Mao Dong crossed A-Yuan and stood beside Zhong Ling.

didn't mention the things in the box just now, he just said: "Yesterday, the finance gave me last month's dividend distribution, and you can make your own decisions about these in the future." ”

"You're the biggest shareholder here, and it's up to you to decide." Seriously, Zhong Ling was very happy that he could come out of the box to find her.

Looking at Zhong Ling's complicated and detached expression, Mao Dong couldn't help but say, "I have something to tell you." ”

He turned his head sideways, and then looked at Ah Yuan, "Mr. Zhang's son is here tonight, you can help me watch some Shapi." ”

Although Ah Yuan nodded in agreement, his eyes were always on Zhong Ling.

Looking at the backs of Zhong Ling and Mao Dong walking towards the end of the corridor, looking at the distance between the two of them forever, Ah Yuan felt that they were alienated from each other, but at the same time they had an unknown connection.

His hands hung at his sides, and his hatred for his incompetence and cowardice gradually clenched into fists.

***

Back in the box, A-Yuan saw Liang Ju sitting alone on the high chair with the microphone, she closed her eyes and sang a song with a strong rock rhythm, looking a little lonely.

Sha Pei has already played high, and he is sweating with Yu Yanjie and Sun Xiaoshou to fight wine.

Promising Brother Dong to come back, thinking of Sha Pei's holiday with Mr. Zhang's son, Ah Yuan naturally had to look at Sha Pei cautiously in case he made trouble again.

***

Mao Dong also has a company, he rarely comes to North Star, and most of the time it is managed by Zhong Ling alone.

Mao Dong's office is Zhong Ling personally looking for someone to design the decoration, the color matching is low-key, only black and white, although the style is simple, but all the office supplies are foreign high-end brands, the purpose is also to hope that he can work more comfortably.

Turn on the floor lamp next to the desk, and the light pours down from one side, illuminating half of the office.

There is not a lot of writing on the huge desk, and everything is neatly arranged, even if it has not been used for a long time, there is not a trace of dust on it, as if someone has carefully wiped it.

"Here's for you."

Mao Dong sat in a black leather chair behind his desk, and he took out a stack of materials from a drawer and placed them in front of Zhong Ling.

In black and white, it is very clear, 'Share Transfer Agreement'.

"What is this for?" Zhong Ling was very surprised, and her first reaction was not too good.

The two were only separated by a table, and Mao Dong's arms were resting on the armrests on both sides of the office chair, and his fingers were interlocked.

"I'm going to give you this bar later." His tone was indifferent.

"What about you?"

"Now it's mature in every way, and you can run it on your own."

Zhong Ling's gradually warm heart began to cool again, she avoided his gaze, and said, "I don't need it." ”

She didn't believe that he wouldn't know why she had been running the bar with him.

From the beginning, to the present.

Mao Dong's thin lips were pursed, and he looked at the only photo frame on the table, which was the only photo of him and his eldest brother Mao Bei, which was secretly washed out by Zhong Ling and placed on the table.

For her actions, he did not stop.

Taking out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and playing it between his fingers, Mao Dong spoke slowly, as if he was considering the choice of words.

"Zhong Ling, I need to take good care of you."

In that photo, the two brothers stood side by side with bright smiles. Mao Dong hugged Mao Bei, and the blue vest Mao Bei was wearing was still his first birthday gift to his eldest brother.

He remembered that he worked part-time that year, earned money, and specially surprised Mao Bei. The joy on Mao Bei's face when he was holding the clothes, Mao Dong thinks about it now, it's really...

He extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, and he had to divert his attention to stop the burning pain of the piece of flesh in his heart.

Looking at Mao Bei's photos now, others can't understand the taste of Mao Dong's heart at all.

"Are you taking pity on me?" Zhong Ling couldn't accept the meaning of his words, and she pushed the contract in front of her eyes. "If you think I've only been around you because of the bar, then I can get out of here right now."

She got up from her seat, feeling a wave rolling in her heart. "Mao Bei and I are not married yet, you, your whole family has no obligation to do this to an outsider."

"I just hope I can take care of you for my brother."

"No need to replace! You don't need to do that either! ”

Zhong Ling was a little excited, she couldn't continue to sit there in peace and listen to Mao Dong say that taking care of her was just because of Mao Bei.

That's not what she wants.

"Zhong Ling..."

The light of the floor lamp on one side hit Mao Dong, contrasting with the vast dark night sky behind him.

Zhong Ling's heart was cold.

She said: "I stayed at North Star in the hope of fulfilling his wish, he wanted to have his own bar, and if he couldn't finish it, I would replace him." ”

Zhong Ling choked for a few seconds, looked into his eyes, lowered his voice and said, "You don't need to have any guilt towards me and Mao Bei. It's been four years, it's been four years, and you should let go. ”

Mao Dong's drooping eyelashes cast a shadow under the light, making it even more silent.

Zhong Ling picked up the contract again and handed it to him, "Thank you for this kindness, just help your eldest brother keep it first, and if you really need it in the future, I will sign it." ”

Mao Dong raised his eyes, although his eyes were flat, his heart was already fluctuating.

She knew the guilt in his heart for many years, better than anyone else.

"Thank you, Zhong Ling."

"It should be me who thank you, thank you for taking care of me for so many years."

***

Mao Dong came out of Beixing and went to a nearby parking lot.

The sound of leather shoes stepping on the concrete floor, and suddenly he was the only one in the empty parking lot.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the large space, and it was cold and silent.

He sat in the driver's seat and didn't start the car for a long time.

Holding the steering wheel, what repeatedly rang in his ears was Zhong Ling's words just now.

Leaning his head on the back of the driver's seat tiredly, Mao Dong closed his eyes, and somehow, he suddenly remembered the drunk and stupid girl tonight.

Saving Liang Ju was an accident.

At first, it was because she was somewhat similar to the girl, so he wanted to get closer to her. But when he saw her on the bed the next day with a dull and shocked face, he had to admit that his heart was paralyzed for a moment.

He didn't know whether the heart that had been buried for several years finally reacted, or whether the girl who had been dreaming about it for the past few years appeared alive one day, and that kind of surprise activated his whole heart.

If Liang Ju really was the girl, then he admitted that he became interested in her.

But if not...

Obviously, my first impression of her is not very good, but every time I see her, I will do things that surprise even me, such as the kiss that day, such as the teasing tonight.

He wasn't sure, and there were too many uncertainties.

He couldn't explain his actions. What kind of feeling it was, Mao Dong couldn't describe, just like why the girl who only had a one-sided relationship would always hide in his heart, he couldn't find any answer.

Mao Dong still remembers the scene of that day, she stood in the cold wind in her school uniform with her short hair flying, and gave him a middle finger with a smile in her eyes.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sometimes he has to wonder if he is sick, and he will miss a girl who has only one side.

But I have to admit that what Mao Dong buried in his heart was the girl that winter.
