In the face of my questioning and choice, Yang Jin chose not to answer, and after a while, she changed the topic and said to me: "I know you can't accept these things for a while, let's talk about it after you're done with your grandmother's funeral." ”

I also didn't want to have any kind of argument with her at this time, and then let my grandmother's ghost be at peace, so I didn't say anything more and just left the rooftop of the hospital before her.

This night, I still didn't go to the small apartment that Jin Qiu lent me for temporary staying, I found a small hotel next to the hospital to stay, I was sad that I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, the only thing still with me was the small half pack of cigarettes that had not been smoked.

When it was almost two o'clock, the mobile phone that had been silent for a long time rang in my hand, I picked it up and looked at it, it was Chen Yi calling. When I got through, she asked me, "Haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Not yet."

"Qiao Ye and I are having supper, do you want to come out and eat something too."

"I don't want to go anywhere."

I heard Qiao Ye's voice: "I haven't eaten much all day, don't be a hero, hurry up and send me a location sharing on WeChat, and I'll drive over to pick you up." ”

"There are instant noodles in the hotel, just eat some instant noodles when you're hungry."

"It's not that you are called to drink and have fun, or to eat some supper, which will not affect your sadness...... Hurry up, this Chaoshan porridge shop tastes really good, drink some soothing porridge, and treat you who can't sleep all night. ”

Qiao Ye said this, I didn't refuse again, after hanging up the phone, I sent him his location on WeChat, and he told me that it would be there in ten minutes.

While waiting, I lit a cigarette and looked out the window at the somewhat thick night, only to be pierced by the thousands of lights. After a while, I thought of my grandmother, if there was a way to go after death, was she walking alone, or was she attracted by another landscape?

I think of Xiao Ai again, we have been separated for a long time, can she see the sunshine and night of this world now, if everything is calm there for her, will she think of my old love by other people's side.

Yes, even though some days have passed, the thought of her sleeping next to someone else makes me feel a pain in my heart. I don't think I'm as chic as her, and if Yuan is really someone she doesn't love enough, she can marry her. Why can't I marry Jin Qiu and fulfill my grandmother's last wish?

If a month later. No, in a week at least, Jin Qiu and I will go to my grandmother's tombstone as husband and wife to pay respects, and grandma may be pleased, right? And I will live a completely different life from now on: during the day, Jin Qiu and I take care of the affairs of the hotel together, and in the evening there will be a sumptuous dinner cooked by Russell Mei, and we will drive a luxury car and live in a mansion; With the holidays, we travel all over the world, and our busy days are also fulfilling.

It seems that with just one decision of mine, everyone will save a lot of trouble and concerns. No wonder so many people want me to marry Jin Qiu. Especially Yang Jin, she doesn't have to be distracted and worry about me, so that she can give all her energy and love to her daughter in Shenzhen.

When I was thinking about it in such a trance, there was the sound of a car honking downstairs, and when I opened the window, I saw Qiao Ye's black Audi A6.

……

On the way to the porridge shop, I had been silent and reluctant to speak, Qiao Ye patted my arm, and said to me while driving: "Our group undertakes the construction of your hotel...... Your mother called me a few hours ago, and she said that she would assess our construction capacity in the near future, and if there was no problem, she would sign a cooperation contract with us...... You know, our group's construction capacity can be ranked in the whole Jiangsu Province, so this matter is basically done. ”

"That's good."

"What about you, what are your plans in the future, will you accept the shares of the hotel and join our rich second-generation entrepreneurship club?"

"I'm still fit to live the life of a small citizen."

"Listen to what you mean, won't Nanjing be ready to stay in the future?"

"Besides, grandma is gone, the old house has been demolished, and there is nothing to worry about in Nanjing...... Where you are comfortable in the future, there is home. ”

Qiao Ye sighed and replied: "People who don't know the inside story, when they hear your words, they feel hypocritical, and they know that they really feel sorry for you...... This year, you have had a really bad time! ”

I looked out the window and said for a long time, "The worst is behind me anyway...... I should be able to live some peaceful days in the future. ”

"Don't think so...... Sometimes the more you want to be calm, the more you can't calm down...... Jiang Qiao, as a brother, I advise you, you should really accept the shares of the hotel, after all, this is your mother's property, you don't call it unearned, at best, it is an inheritance, you should accept it with peace of mind......"

I felt that I had a headache, so I interrupted Qiao Ye's words and said, "Drive well, don't talk." ”

"Hehe, life is like the road in front of you, and you are panicked when there are more cars...... There are fewer cars, and you don't feel like a road. ”

"You're ****** living sensible!"

……

In the porridge shop, only Chen Yi was sitting in the corner where there was a spotlight on, Qiao Ye stopped the car, but did not turn off the car, he said to me: "Go in, Chen Yi is waiting for you inside." ”

"Aren't you together?"

"I already drank three bowls when you didn't come, who told you to grind and chirp and not come earlier."

After a pause, he added: "Chen Yi's bowl is almost cold...... Go for it. ”

……

I entered the porridge shop alone, and Chen Yi's side face was reflected in the glass window on her left, looking a little lonely. I don't think a woman should be sleeping at this time.

I sat down across from her, and she noticed my arrival, and she seemed to be very preoccupied, and she said to me, "I want to drink some porridge." ”

"Drinking no kind of porridge will calm your mind."

"Then let's eat first." Chen Yi called the waiter as he spoke, and then asked me for a bowl of preserved egg and lean porridge and a piece of egg cake, which was the first decent meal I ate in a day.

Chen Yi poured hot water into the cup for me, and then put the chopsticks in it to soak, this is her habit for many years, she is not very worried about the hygiene of this small shop. Although I don't care about this, I also respect her pursuit of a refined life.

I took a sip of porridge and asked her, "Why haven't you slept yet?" Run here to drink porridge! ”

"I just want to accompany you, I know you can't sleep, I'm afraid you're too sad to be alone."

"I'm not sad, not at all, because I believe that the place where my grandmother went will be fairer, more beautiful, and more brightly lit than the place where we live now!"

Chen Yi looked at it with a look that made me feel incomprehensible. Perhaps, she thought that I was overly sad, so she began to say some nonsense that she didn't understand, but I firmly believe that grandma has done good all her life, and she must go to a place that will be better than real life, otherwise why do we have to distinguish between the so-called good people and bad people?

Looking at Chen Yi, who didn't speak, I whispered to her, "I know you don't like to drink, but today I hope you can drink a little with me." Of course, in exchange, you can also offer me something I least like to do, and I won't refuse. ”

Chen Yi stared at me, and after a long time, she replied: "Jiang Qiao, I don't need you to do anything you don't like the most, all I want is that you can respect your innermost choice...... I don't want you to marry Jin Qiu, at least when you're not in love with her, you can't be married to her...... Can you do that? ”

I looked at Chen Yi and couldn't speak for a long time, because as my ex-girlfriend, she made such a straightforward and clear request to me emotionally for the first time!
