In a blink of an eye, the time came to 11 o'clock, and I finally said to Qiao Ye, who had not left: "It's noon, do you think it's going out to eat, or ordering takeout?" ”

Qiao Ye waved his hand and replied, "Don't eat, don't eat anything, I'll sit for a while and leave." ”

I complained, "If you haven't said a few words in the morning, you haven't even eaten lunch, so you're here to take refuge with me?" ”

Qiao Ye glanced at me, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and lit it, took a sharp puff before replying: "Sort of, I just feel like I have nowhere to go......" As he spoke, he looked out the window and sighed with emotion: "You have a bright window here, (quite ting) Okay!" ”

Looking at his depressed appearance, I persuaded again: "It's been a brother for decades, what's the trouble, can't you find it clear?" ”

"There are only a few troubles, and it's still like that...... I just wanted to find a place to be quiet for a while. ”

"Okay, sit down, I'll go out to dinner."

Qiao Ye stretched out his hand and grabbed me, and hurriedly said: "Sit with my buddies for a while, you have to leave, buddies have no reference to compare......" After a pause, he said seriously: "Jiang Qiao, if you have some words, don't think I'm ...... Really, only when I look at you, a more unlucky decrepit person, do I feel that I still have a child, you are a mirror of my life in this world, and only you can shine a light on my messy life. ”

I sat back in my chair and replied, "Even if it's glamorous, it's just a false side...... Also, do you really think I'm declining? I just got a Maserati yesterday, and I'm about to reach the pinnacle of my life. ”

Qiao Ye looked disdainful: "According to what you say, I have been at the peak of my life since I was not born!" ”

I was silent for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes, I admit that you are a lucky sperm." ”

Qiao Ye looked at me with a dejected expression, and just when I thought he would scold me a few words, he didn't say a word, just squinted his eyes and smoked the cigarette in his hand that he hadn't finished smoking, and I seemed to be joking a little too much.

I also lit a cigarette and asked him in a soft voice, "You should have taken Qin Miao to see Xiaoyu, right?" …… What is her attitude? ”

Qiao Ye sighed, and he replied: "This is where I am depressed, I thought that taking her to see Xiaoyu would bring her a little expectation, but I didn't expect her to be even more depressed...... After she came out of the hospital, she didn't talk much. I asked her for a long time, but she said that she had lost a small fish, and now I was going to let her lose another small fish, and asked me what kind of heart I was pressing...... Jiang Qiao, leukemia is not a disease that cannot be cured, Xiaoyu will definitely recover, right? ”

Only then did I figure it out, so I said to Qiao Ye very seriously: "You're right, it's Qin Miao who is too pessimistic...... I think this matter is also very easy to solve, and after Xiaoyu's disease is cured, Qin Miao's heart knot will naturally open...... Seriously, I think Qin Miao should be happy, because you have never cared so much about her opinion as you do now. You have already fallen in love with her, not just the same, otherwise you would not be so persistent in changing your future lives. I've always felt that only with (love AI) as a premise can there be motivation to change. ”

Qiao Ye held my hand, nodded like a bosom friend, and then replied: "Jiang Qiao, you still know me best......!" ”

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so I asked him again after a long time: "What about Su Han, she should have seen you and your parents on the road...... And the attitude of your parents, do they still insist that you divorce Qin Miao and marry Su Han? ”

Qiao Ye lowered his head and sighed, then took out another cigarette from his cigarette case and lit it. I was scared to see this frequency of smoking, and maybe I didn't need to listen to him say the answer from his mouth, because his body language said it all.

Sure enough, Qiao Ye replied: "My parents talked to Su Han, and made their position clear, they said that as long as Su Han and I get married, they will transfer a building materials city to her name, and give her 5 million living expenses every year, so that she can use it at will." ”

Such a big stroke made my heart skip a beat, and then said: "Actually, even if there is no building materials city and 5 million living expenses per year, Su Han will agree to marry you...... Otherwise, with her conditions, she would not have taken Youlu alone for so many years and did not marry. She's still waiting for you! ”

Qiao Ye glanced at me a little confused, but I just understood it better than him in my heart, because I probably knew Su Han better than him. I asked Qiao Ye again, "What about Su Han?" Will you go back to the United States, or will you stay in Nanjing? ”

"She wasn't in Nanjing, and she didn't go back to the United States, she took the road to Hangzhou...... As for not returning to the United States, maybe as you said, she still hopes to marry me and give Youlu a complete home. ”

I nodded, agreeing with his words, and I said to him again: "Qiao Ye, I'm making a hypothesis now, just an assumption...... If Qin Miao really divorced you, would you marry Su Han? ”

Qiao Ye's face was painful, as if he had fallen into the situation I was talking about, and he couldn't help himself. But he has matured, and he must choose between the possible future endings.

After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and replied: "I will marry, but only to have a way." ”

I replied, "Su Han thinks the same way, so between the three of you, the most certain person will always be her, because she knows you well enough, but you don't really know her." ”

Qiao Yemu was stunned for a long time, and in the process, he did nothing but gasp, and then he woke up from a big dream and looked at me, and when I thought he was really going to wake up, he was confused again......

……

After sending Qiao Ye away, I found a small restaurant where I could eat on the road near the company. Maybe it's because I've eaten too much in restaurants in the past two years, so I feel tired of any restaurant I see. In the end, I just asked for a bowl of clear soup wontons at Lao Wang's wonton stall. Lao Wang is a bit mean, I bought his wontons, but he laughed at me, eating this at noon, making me feel like I was so pure-hearted. I was angry, so he brought me a bowl of spicy ravioli, and he laughed at me again......

I lost to Lao Wang, an old and unscrupulous person, I don't slander him, because when I was young, it was rumored in the alley that in addition to his wife, he also had a woman outside, who was a teacher. But when I grew up, I couldn't figure it out, although there is no distinction between high and low professions ((cheap jian) jian), but a teacher and educates people, how can he (love ai) a wonton seller?

After eating two bowls of wontons, I didn't feel full, so I asked Lao Wang for a bowl of shrimp wontons, but this time Lao Wang was mean to himself, he said that he would live like a shrimp in his life...... The melancholy in his words is simply sympathetic, so I also forgot about what he was mean to me just now, and I hope that he can spend his old age in peace, be a happy "old thing", and don't let his children be ashamed of him anymore.

When I was about to finish eating, a girl with a schoolbag and a ponytail appeared in front of me, I carefully identified it, only to find that it was Xiao Fang, who had studied the piano with Xiao Ai, she had grown up and had long hair.

"Boss Jiang, are you eating wontons?"

"Well, did you have lunch? Why don't you have a bowl? ”

Xiao Fang shook her head, she said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you still shaved your head, I almost didn't recognize you!" ”

I jokingly replied, "Hehe, because the older I get, the more immodest I become." ”

Lao Wang on the side glanced at me, knowing that I was squeezing him, but he didn't squeeze back, he just picked up the one (sexual) hand (tao) on his hand, and then lit a cigarette and enjoyed his free time. Xiao Fang looked at me and smiled, as if she understood my joke.

I'm happy for her because she used to be an autistic child, but now she can laugh whenever she wants and looks much more cheerful. I grabbed her up, sat her on my lap, and asked her, "How are you doing?" ”

"Hmm...... Boss Jiang, I won another prize last month, and I used the money to buy a piano, so I can practice at home by myself in the future...... You see. ”

Xiao Fang said as she took out a few photos from her schoolbag and handed them to me, her dilapidated rental house had a brand new piano, but her life still did not improve.

I looked at a few other photos, most of which were related to her winning the award, but one of them broke my heart. Because, two years ago, when Xiao Ai taught her to play the piano, she was photographed by a parent of a student who was engaged in photography...... In the photo, Xiao Ai lowered her head and grabbed her hand, correcting her fingering mistakes, but there were sweat dripping from the tip of her nose...... The moment it dripped, it was captured. Later, the photograph titled "Sweat" won an award at a photography exhibition, so I was extremely impressed.

I looked at it several times, then touched Xiaofang's hair, and asked with emotion, "Do you still have this photo?" ”

"Well, Mr. Xiao Ai will always be my teacher, and he is also my teacher who loves AI the most!"

I nodded my head, but I felt my nose sour, but I couldn't cry. I know that at that time, I and Xiao Ai lived very seriously for the same dream, and we both tried our best, whether it was (love ai) (love qing) or career, we all tried our best!

Xiao Fang seemed to be able to sense my feelings, and it took a long time for her to say to me again: "Boss Jiang, it's really good to meet you today, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

"What's the busy?"

Xiao Fang replied: "I originally asked Teacher Feng Yuan for help, but she said that Teacher Xiao Ai is now a star and will not go with me to the Xinghai Cup Piano Competition as a guest." ”

"Xinghai Cup?"

Although I asked like this, I remembered in an instant that Xiao Ai worked hard to cultivate Xiaofang in order to participate in this piano competition, and I only remember once a year.

Xiao Fang nodded and said, "Well, I won the championship in the competition a few years ago, and this year is the 15th anniversary of the event, and I will invite the previous champions to do guest performances, so I thought of Mr. Xiao Ai...... I really hope and hope that she can be a guest with me, and then we can play a song she taught me together, so that it makes sense......" After a pause, she said to me with anticipation: "Boss Jiang, you will definitely be able to contact Mr. Xiao Ai, right?" ”

I don't know why, a kind of (emotion) is permeating my heart, just like the drizzle of (spring) day, moistening the growth of all things...... It seems that there was never that fire, and there was no difference between two years. We are still busy with the future of the piano store, and Xiaofang is our proudest student......

I touched Xiaofang's hair again and replied softly: "Xiaofang, you are a good boy who knows how to be grateful, I will try my best to help you contact Teacher Xiao Ai, and then convey your invitation to her." ”

Xiao Fang smiled happily: "Thank you, Boss Jiang, I will wait for you to give me news every day." ”

"Well, there is news, I will take Teacher Xiao Ai to your school to find you."

Xiaofang was even happier, and my heart melted in her laughter...... If I could really go with Xiao Ai to her school to find her, then we would stand side by side at the door of her classroom, waiting for her...... How much beauty and perfection should there be in this picture!?

……

After parting from Xiaofang at Lao Wang's wonton stall, my afternoon also began. As usual, I went back to the company for meetings and assigned work...... Before I knew it, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Jin will be at Lukou Airport at four o'clock, and I should pick her up......

Walking out the door of the company, I subconsciously looked up......

I rarely see the blue sky in this city, so I don't want a storm to await me in this scene......

Yes, if you put aside all distractions, what I am looking forward to the most is just the picture of Xiao Ai and I standing side by side at the door of the classroom at sunset, and Xiao Fang rushing towards us, just like that summer, everything is occupied by beauty and hope......
