After the conversation with Huohuo, I didn't do anything more, I just sat in the corner of the teahouse, quietly sipping the pot of good Longjing tea. I pushed down all the dinner and schedule for tonight, and just wanted to be alone for a while.

After a cup of tea, my eyes stayed on the street outside the window. I've seen some more changes. At this time, many pots are neatly arranged on the roadside, and the potted tulips are cup-shaped, bowl-shaped, and ball-shaped

I just looked at it so distractedly, for the first time I felt that this tulip road is so worthy of the name, there are "tulip hotels" and "tulip teahouses", and now even the road is very suitable for the occasion to place so many pots of tulips, this tulip culture, is formed on this road

After drinking another cup of tea, I picked up my phone and looked at it, I habitually swiped the WeChat circle of friends, and one of them was sent by Qiao Ye. He said that the government intends to turn this tulip road into a cultural street, and their group will take the lead in resolutely implementing this policy. Tomorrow there will be a mobilization meeting on this road, when many leaders will be present in person, and he will also attend on behalf of Jiangjian Group.

Only then did I understand why there were so many tulips on the streets, and their presence would set up a full atmosphere for tomorrow's mobilization meeting.

Subconsciously glanced at the tulips outside the window again, and I sent a message to Qiao Ye: "Come out and have a drink?" ”

Qiao Ye replied almost in seconds: "Coordinates." ”

I sent my location to him on WeChat, but I had a desolate and tragic feeling in my heart. I Jiangqiao can be regarded as having countless friends, but only Qiao Ye is the only one who is truly pure. It seems that whenever I want to drink, he will always have time, and I know that he is also quite busy, at least busier than me!

After a while, Qiao Ye came to the teahouse. To my surprise, he brought Youlu with him, carrying a briefcase in his left hand and Youlu in his right hand.

I got up, and then said to Youlu, who was being held, "Come, let Uncle Jiang hug me." ”

Youlu glanced at me, but was resistant to me, he ignored me, and lay on Qiao Ye's shoulder, and then pulled Qiao Ye's tie out and played with it.

I felt pity, and I couldn't help touching his head and said with a smile: "Youlu, who got your hair for you?" It's even cooler than your dad's! ”

He still didn't pay any attention to me. Qiao Ye shrugged his shoulders and said to me, "Don't tease him, I just picked him up from the amusement park, I guess I'm tired of playing." ”

I smiled awkwardly, and then sat back in my seat, Qiao Ye looked around, and said teasingly: "You are using the teahouse as a bar, you don't mean to drink a little!" ”

"If you want to get drunk, there is no difference between wine and tea."

"Just a little ink in your stomach, don't pretend to be profound."

was scolded by Qiao Ye, and I didn't have any temper, I just picked up the teapot, poured him a cup of tea, and then changed the topic and asked him, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

"I'm busy and waiting for this while, I want to take Qin Miao and Youlu out for a walk."

"It's okay, the relationship is slowly cultivated, and you should get used to it now, right?"

Qiao Ye looked at Youlu, who was playing alone with an assembled toy, and then whispered back: "It's much better than at the beginning, but it's a little autistic, and I can't say a few words a day!" ”

"Give him some time, you and Qin Miao will also find more time to accompany him, and when he adapts to the current life, those things in the past will slowly fade away."

Qiao Ye nodded and replied: "I am now using all the time I can take out to take him to play To be honest, being a parent is really not an easy thing" After a slight pause, Qiao Ye said again: "I'm better, the really difficult thing is Qin Miao!" ”

Just as I was about to speak, Youlu suddenly put down the toy in his hand and asked Qiao Ye, "Dad, when will you take me to my mother?" ”

Just when I was worried about Qiao Ye, he was prepared, he didn't hurry to take out a stack of tickets from his bag and put them in front of Youlu and said: "Haven't you been looking for it, Dad, you look at these tickets, I fly around like this all day, I feel like I'm about to become a bird."

"Will mom turn into a bird too?"

Qiao Ye was stunned for a moment, and then replied with little confidence: "Maybe." ”

"Then I will also become a bird, and I will go with you to find my mother, you don't want to take a plane, the plane flies so high, and my mother stops on a branch, you can't see it at all! When we find my mother, I'm a little bird, my mother is a big bird, you're a big bird, let's fly home together, okay? ”

Qiao Ye lowered his head, and I also sweated for him, because he had turned an impossible lie into a big lie, if there was a way for this child to turn around and wait to become a bird, then his reputation as a father would be ruined.

Qiao Ye was silent for a while, and after a long time, he took Youlu in his arms and said: "You listen to Dad, don't think about what you want to do, you have to learn to live with Dad and Aunt Qin Miao, we are all people in this world who love you as much as Mom, Mom, she will do more important things." When she left, she said that when Youlu became a man, she would come back to see Youlu. ”

"Can you tell me, Mom, where did she go?"

I seemed to be able to see Qiao Ye's sinking mood at this moment, and he replied after a while: "Mom, she is a kite with a broken string, and she only follows the wind, so no one knows where she has gone, but she will definitely come back, because the wind will not blow in only one direction." ”

Youlu is such a young child, of course, he won't know what Qiao Ye is talking about, but I heard a pale hopelessness in Qiao Ye's words, and I can't help but think about whether the relationship between people is sad or gray-haired or, at the moment of separation, those pictures of love have become fake, so many people like to say, leave the fragrance to the years.

In fact, we are all scared, afraid that we will die under the knife of love, and we will hurt the innocent. And in the love triangle between Qiao Ye, Qin Miao and Su Han, the most innocent is probably the child Youlu.

After a while, Qin Miao also came to the teahouse where Qiao Ye and I were, she was very surprised, saying that Qiao Ye and I were finally new people, because we didn't go to the bar to drink in the dark, and we actually drank tea in the teahouse honestly.

For this, we should be appreciative, because Qiao Ye and I have indeed reached an age where we should honestly think about life and family. Qin Miao didn't stay in the teahouse for a long time, she took Youlu and said that she was going to take him to the movies with Chen Yi at night. And after she left, Qiao Ye and I really had room to talk.

I threw a cigarette to Qiao Ye, and after he lit it, he said to me: "Recently, a friend of mine in Sanya wants to transfer a luxury yacht, and he has only bought it for two years, or let's go and give it to the next one." When it is winter in Nanjing, we will move our family to live there for a period of time, and we don't have to care about the cold weather in Nanjing, we just bask in the sun on the yacht every day, fish or something, so as not to lose the money we earn. ”

Thinking of the haze floating on my head every day in the past two years, I also yearn for the sunny life on Sanya Beach, but I also knew in my heart that the yacht Qiao Ye fancied would definitely not be cheap, so I said to him: "You buy, I'll just rub behind you."

Qiao Ye smiled and replied, "Buy it together, so that you have the motivation to move over there for the winter." ”

I looked at him and asked, "Why do I think you have something in your words?" ”

Qiao Ye took a puff of his cigarette before he said, "No, I just want to persuade you to enjoy life." ”

I thought about it, after Yang Jin's illness is cured, she really needs a place with a good environment to recuperate, and Sanya is naturally the first choice in China. Then he tentatively asked Qiao Ye, "What price transfer?" ”

"12 million, 500,000 per year, about 300,000 for maintenance, about 300,000 for the crew, about 300,000 personnel costs, as for the fuel cost or something, there is nothing to worry about, anyway, I feel that the cost performance is quite high. At that time, the yacht was bought for more than 20 million, and he was discounted by 8 million in two years! ”

I also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and replied: "Three years ago, you could spend more than 10 million yuan to buy a car." Now that he is in charge of Jiangjian Group, he is not short of money, right? But can you think about what I can handle? Just talk to me about more than 10 million transactions, and you are my family to brush money? ”

"Don't pretend, just your hotel, there is a large amount of tens of millions of cash on the account, spend millions to buy a second-hand yacht, it's really trivial" After a slight pause, Qiao Ye spoke seriously, and said to me from the perspective of someone who came over: "Jiangqiao, when you should enjoy it, you still insist on enduring hardships, that is stupid, or you don't have the consciousness of a rich man." ”

"I'll discuss it with Xiao Ai, it's not a trivial matter."

Qiao Ye pointed at me, and then looked at me with a look of unappreciative expression. But my mind is really not on this now, for me, the cold winter or spring of life, between a choice, at this time, of course, I envy Qiao Ye, because he has solved the biggest trouble in his life, and I am too far behind him. At the moment, I'm already preparing myself for labor pains.

After Qiao Ye finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, he suddenly asked me with a straight face: "Jiang Qiao, I heard Qin Miao say, you asked her about the private detective, did you have something to do?" ”

I looked at him with some surprise, and then asked, "It was just over an hour ago, and you found out so quickly?" ”

Qiao Ye nodded and replied, "Qin Miao thought that you might be in trouble, so he called me, otherwise you thought I would come to you in a hurry with Youlu, and I would definitely send him home first." ”

Even in the face of Qiao Ye, I didn't plan to tell the truth, so I used the same rhetoric to deal with Chen Yi.

However, he replied a little unhappily: "Jiang Qiao, are you a little too discouraged from treating me as a brother?" Others don't know the business status of your Tulip Hotel, can I still not know? Looking at the entire hotel industry in Nanjing, who dares to wrestle with you secretly? So don't fool me about this, just talk to me, maybe I can help. ”

I tilted my head and wiped my hands heavily across my face. I said to Qiao Ye in a low voice: "It's a big deal, but you really don't need to get involved, because you really can't help much, it's my family matter" After a slight pause, I changed the topic and said: By the way, in September, Gu Lin and Wu Lei will hold a wedding at the Tulip Hotel, you remember to take Qin Miao with you then. ”

"In September, that's just a few days!"

"Well, I'll have someone send you an invitation then."

"Okay, Qin Miao and I must be there." After a moment of silence, Qiao Ye said to me with a serious expression: "Jiang Qiao, in fact, if you don't say anything, I can probably guess that there are too many buddies and don't talk about it, if you have anything to do here, just call me." In the past few years, I have also summed up some lessons. Sometimes, you have to use a little bit of violence to deal with the wicked, and I can help you do what you are not good at."

"What are you talking about? You just have to take care of your family. I'm not worth worrying about. ”

Qiao Ye smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there is measure, measure." ”

After separating from Qiao Ye in the teahouse, I wandered alone on Tulip Road. I don't know why, but looking at the endless stream of cars in front of me, I felt a terrible calm. It was as if everything I could see was a program, set in advance. So some people were eating in a restaurant on the street, some were lying on the couch and drowsy, and some were hurrying towards another destination, and only I was frozen and unable to participate in this pre-programmed program.

I sat down on a bench on the side of the road, and it wasn't until the phone vibrated again in my hand that I came to my senses, the call was from Xiao Ai. She asked me to pick her up at "Jinding Real Estate", although she didn't have much dinner today, but because of work, she was still busy until so late.

At this time, I was glad that I didn't drink with Qiao Ye just now. I cleaned up my mood and went to the open parking lot where I parked. After getting the car, I drove in the direction of "Jinding Real Estate".

I don't know why, obviously we are in a city, but we have the illusion of watching from the other side of the river. To be honest, I don't really like the state I am in with Xiao Ai now, because we are both too busy, so busy that we deviate from the life that normal people should have.

At this time, I really wanted to buy the yacht and take my family and Qiao Ye's family to Sanya for a vacation. Under the domination of this mood, I am even more eager to solve all the troubles in front of me quickly, but under the waves in my heart, the world still gives me an almost terrible calm, there is no wind and grass, no moonlight, only the passers-by who are programmed to make up their noise.
