This weekend afternoon, Xiao Ai and Yu Xin each arranged for their three children to have one-on-one lessons, and I made some pastries for them in the evening.

When I stood at the window and looked at the children and Xiao Ai's hippie smiling face, but she coped with it patiently, I was immediately illuminated by this beauty, and if there must be bitterness in life, at this moment, I am willing to add some condiments and put it on the plate and make my dish on the plate.

At this time, the sound of leather boots stepping on the stairs came from far and near, and then Yuan Zhen stood beside me, he was wearing a black jacket, he was young but had already grown a very vicissitudes of beard, and his body was even more thin and a little desolate, only the slender fingers with cigarettes between them, highlighting his extraordinary talent in music.

He didn't look at me, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go back to Japan later, and I'll stop it because of the more qiē that happened in Nanjing...... I hope you can treat my junior sister well. ”

I looked at him with some confusion.

He took a deep breath of cigarette and kept his eyes on Xiao Ai, who was leaning over to teach the piano to the piano boys, before he said to me after a long time: "Look, does she look like an angel who deserted a little and fell into the mortal world?" …… In this life, I don't mind being a bad person in front of anyone, but I must be good to her and not be a trouble for her...... So, it's okay if that rock dream is shattered, as long as she can smile in the life she loves! ”

Only then did I understand what Yuan Zhen meant, so after a long silence, I asked him, "Did you refuse Qiu Zi'an's invitation?" ”

"I am not qualified to refuse, what they value is only the commercial value of Xiao Ai, not my Yuan Zhen...... However, as businessmen, they have no idea what their sister is pursuing on the road of singing...... Therefore, I can't push her into the fire pit for my own selfish gain. ”

I had never disliked this man, so I was genuinely worried about him, so I said, "But Japan is a bigger fire pit for you now!" ”

He was expressionless, just raised his hand and took a puff of the cigarette between his slender fingers, but did not give me a response.

I suddenly remembered that Xiao Ai said that he had a wandering life when he was a child, and in that wandering life, he slept on the overpass and looked for food in the garbage bin in front of the restaurant, so for him, what else is a fire pit?

Perhaps, what he is afraid of is not the harsh living environment at all, but his music dream will not be realized, so his abandonment is to fulfill Xiao Ai, but he also stabbed himself in the most vulnerable place......

Yuan Zhen finished smoking a cigarette in his hand, he looked at Xiao Ai through the window again, and then turned around and walked towards the staircase, and his next stop was Japan, which he was extremely unwilling to face.

Looking at his lonely back, my heart was extremely uncomfortable, and he had already dragged his suitcase into a taxi......

The afterglow of the afternoon sunset, falling on the tulip road at this moment, the whole city seems to be sad because of this.

I couldn't stand by anymore, and finally knocked on the glass window with my fingers, Xiao Ai, who had been facing away from me, turned around, she looked at me and smiled, but I motioned for her to come out with a stern expression.

……

Xiao Ai, who came out of the classroom, was very puzzled and asked, "Why are you looking at me with this expression?" ”

I sighed softly, and then replied, "Yuan Zhen just got into a taxi, and now he should be on the way to the airport, and he is going back to Japan." ”

"What?"

"He just came, and he didn't want to be a trouble for you, so he chose to leave Nanjing this afternoon."

Xiao Ai's affection fell in an instant, she instinctively turned her body and leaned on the window of the corridor to look downstairs, but Yuan Zhen had already left a few minutes ago, and in another hour, there would be no more Yuan Zhen in the whole Nanjing.

I said to Xiao Ai again: "I called Qin Miao last night and told me about Yuan Zhen, with her ability, she can definitely lift the ban on Yuan Zhen, and she is an entertainment media company, I hope she can sign Yuan Zhen and become a signed artist under their company, so that he doesn't have to go back to Japan...... It's a pity that she refused on the grounds that Yuan Zhen had bad deeds. ”

Xiao Ai's expression became very cold, and she replied: "Yuan Zhenxiao can't afford this kind of help, even if he enters her company, it will be a waste of Yuan Zhen's talent!" ”

"I have no ill will."

Xiao Ai was already so anxious that there were tears in her eyes, and she muttered to herself: "I'm going to find Yuan Zhen, I can't let him leave like this......"

With that, she turned back to the classroom, grabbed her handbag, and hurried to the staircase.

"Wait......"

Xiao Ai looked at me: "Don't stop me. ”

"I didn't want to stop you, this is Qiao Ye's 918 car key, the car is parked in the open space at the mouth of the alley, you drive this over, it will be faster...... However, it's important to keep yourself safe on the road. ”

Xiao Ai took the key from my hand, she bit her lip and looked at me again, and the next moment, she ran outside along the stairs that Yuan Zhen had just left without looking back!

I just watched calmly, watching her go farther and farther, and then, like Yuan Zhen just now, stood at that window and lit a cigarette......

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Xin and I handed over a few children who were learning the piano to the parents who came to pick them up, and the business of the piano store ended the day, we stood side by side in the dusk sunset, the lazy wind blew the smell of summer, and in the distance on the open-air stalls, there were already some construction workers drinking beer and eating barbecue.

"Brother Jiang Qiao, did you just let Xiao Ai go after Senior Brother Yuan Zhen?"

I looked at Yu Xin, swallowed my saliva, and asked, "Shouldn't I do this?" ”

"I don't know...... But I know that you and Zhao Mu are really not from the same world, if it were him, he would definitely not do this, because Xiao Ai really has a difficult feeling for Senior Brother Yuan Zhen, although no one can be sure whether this is another kind of love, but for you, it is indeed a big crisis, isn't it? ”

I looked up at the somewhat weak sky, and then whispered back: "I don't want to doubt her, just like she has never questioned me and Chen Yi, she is actually a woman with high emotional intelligence, I believe she can distinguish between good and bad and right and wrong, and also has very strict values!" ”

Yu Xin sighed softly.

After exhaling heavily, I stretched out my hand to Yu Xin with a smile, and then said, "I'll lend me your car, and I'll find someone." ”

"Go to Xiao Ai?"

"No, I'll think of a way to see if I can lift Yuan Zhen's ban on acting, even if I can't join Qiu Zi'an's company, at least I have to restore his status as a freelance musician!"

Yu Xin looked at me worriedly, and then replied: "I'm really afraid that you are so willing to sacrifice yourself, but in the end, it was Xiao Ai's decision to choose the entertainment industry, although as a friend, I hope she can enter this circle, but it will hurt you too much...... From now on, you will slowly become strangers, because the temptation and corrosiveness in that circle is too strong! Even a woman like Xiao Ai is difficult to be alone. ”
