Back to my own residence, I sat alone in the courtyard drinking beer, but the beer did not bring me dizziness as usual, I have been very sober to the moonlight scattered in the courtyard, blowing a little cool evening breeze, but my eyes have never left the courtyard wall with a little weeds, I think of the girl again, remember how relaxed and happy we sat on it that day.

I smiled helplessly, and then I was tired of the troubles of the world, if I could, I would rather she had never appeared in my life, and this kind of reluctance was not because of how much I annoyed her, but because she suddenly stopped annoying me, and I was a little uncomfortable

There will probably never be that reckless girl in my world, and there will never be anyone in my world who will stay with me in that abandoned textile factory and listen to me talk about some unhappy things in the past.

I know that she is very proud and disdainful of getting along with people, but at one moment she was genuinely kind to me, because we are sympathetic to each other in the helplessness and pain of life.

Thinking of this, my small courtyard seems to have become a lost city, the flowers and plants have lost their spirits, and the stone table looks a little old

After a while, Qiao Ye returned to the small courtyard, the hairstyle that had not been taken care of seriously for a long time was combed with hairspray today, and it seemed that he was in a good mood.

He sat down across from me, tore open a can of beer, took a sip, and then said to me with a spring breeze on his face, "Jiangqiao, guess where buddy just went." ”

I really didn't interest in his tricks, so I replied impatiently, "I don't have the energy to guess." ”

Qiao Ye took out a bank card from his pocket and shook it in front of me, and said proudly: "The first pot of gold for my buddy's business is here."

"Where did it come from?"

"I just had a meal with Chen Yi, and then I talked to her about my business plan, and she thought it was very reliable, so she lent me 350,000"

"You're not sick, do you think that Chen Yi's money fell from the sky, and the 350,000 yuan is enough for her to do a few commercial hosts, and she only does more than 10 shows a year, and half of it is lent to you?"

Qiao Ye didn't take my words seriously, he crossed Erlang's legs and said to me: "Chen Yi said, a man should have the determination to start a business, and if he doesn't do it well, he should pay tuition, and she agrees with my business philosophy with love as the theme, which proves that she is still a woman who believes in love, of course I am also a man who has always believed in love, so we hit it off, but don't you Jiangqiao feel ashamed A big man looks forward and is timid, no matter how good the opportunity is placed in front of you, you can't seize it."

"Don't be a villain in front of me, if the 350,000 yuan is lost by you, and you Lao Tzu and Qin Miao help you pay the bill, if I lose money, what will I give back to Chen Yi and how should I go in the future, you can tell me about it."

"I really don't like your energy, it's too negative, you don't have any entrepreneurial talent at first glance, and I'll guard your slap-sized courtyard all my life."

Qiao Ye and I are not people of the same world after all, he doesn't understand me, just like I can't understand him, I didn't respond to him again, I just picked up the beer and poured it into my mouth again, I was a little dazed in my heart, and I couldn't see the future path in my eyes

I finally changed the topic and asked Qiao Ye: "Do you say that morality is important in this world, or is interest important?"

"The benefits are divided into big and small, the Tao is important, this matter is not easy to say too absolutely, you have to learn to look at it dialectically."

I nodded absentmindedly, Qiao Ye was immersed in the joy of starting a business, and he didn't notice my abnormality, so he happily took the money he borrowed from Chen Yi and entered the house where he lived, and then looked at the computer and continued to look for a basis for the feasibility of his business on the Internet.

After I had eaten something for dinner, I also wrote the script for Chen Yi to preside over the wedding on my laptop, because I had already written a part of it before, so at about 9 o'clock, I finished finishing the script, and when I sent a message to Chen Yi: "I have written your hosting script, do you have time now, if so, I will send it to you, you had better familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible." ”

After a while, Chen Yi replied to me with a message: "Come to my house, there's nothing to do tonight." ”

I immediately printed out the hosting script I had made, then left my residence and took a taxi to Chen Yi

At this moment, the night is dark, there are no office workers on the road who hurriedly walk home, only avant-garde young people whose nightlife has just begun, this phenomenon is more obvious in the relatively prosperous Danfeng Street, so sometimes I also think, is this really better than that quiet alley, if not, why did Chen Yi go so unhesitatingly

If she hadn't left, I wouldn't have been so tired between Tulip Road and Danfeng Street

Twenty minutes later, I arrived at Chen Yi's apartment, where she opened the door for me, dressed in simple loungewear and holding a glass of milk to help her sleep, as if she was already preparing for bed.

I entered the room, didn't gossip, and immediately took the host script out of the file bag, and then handed it to her and said: "You first see if this language style can be controlled, there are a lot of incitement words in it, if you think it is exaggerated, mark it out with a pen, and I will help you revise it, or you can modify it yourself." ”

Chen Yi nodded and took it from my hand, and then looked at it seriously, while I was a little idle, and looked around her room again, and finally fixed my eyes on the Mediterranean-style glass window.

After about 20 minutes, Chen Yi put down the manuscript and said to me, "It's not a big problem, it's good, only two places I made a little bit of my own minor revisions." ”

"That's good."

Chen Yi nodded, and then we fell into silence, I instinctively didn't want to leave, so I remembered Qiao Ye and her borrowing money, and asked her: "Listen to Qiao Ye, he borrowed 350,000 from you." ”

"Well, there's this thing."

"How dare you borrow?" I sighed.

Chen Yi shook his head unexpectedly and replied, "Although he took the 350,000 from me, it was Qin Miao's money. ”

"Ahh

"Qiao Ye sent me a message this morning, saying that he wanted to borrow 350,000, although I have some spare money in my hand, but this is not a small amount, so I forwarded this message to Qin Miao and asked for her opinion."

I nodded approvingly, Chen Yi is indeed a very decent woman, she forwarded the information to Qin Miao neither offended anyone, but also left a voucher to borrow money, because we all know that Qiao Ye's entrepreneurship is very unreliable, sometimes friends belong to friends, but money matters still have to be explained in a proper manner, I asked her: "Then what did Qin Miao say?"

"Qin Miao found me in the afternoon with 350,000 cash and asked me to lend this money to Qiao Ye in my own name."

This answer filled me with surprise, and then I asked, "Qin Miao, why did she do this?"

"She said that Qiao Ye is a bit of a wayward man, she doesn't want Qiao Ye to suffer outside, this money should be used to pay his tuition, I hope he can go home early when he is tired of playing" Chen Yi sighed deeply after saying this.

I suddenly felt that Qiao Ye was a little pathetic, and Qin Miao was a little pitiful, or they were all pitiful, because as a bystander, Chen Yi and I could see that no one was a winner in this marriage between her and Qiao Ye, and the real winner was only their parents, I seemed to be able to foresee that Qiao Ye, an immature man, would use his paranoia to end this marriage that made him feel like a fish in his throat in the future.

Chen Yi said to me again: "Jiang Qiao, you and Qiao Ye are classmates and brothers, you can persuade him if you have the opportunity, Qin Miao is really not the kind of woman he imagined, Qin Miao has feelings for him"

"I have really persuaded him many times, but he has a deep grudge against the arranged marriage in his heart, and he will not calm down to see Qin Miao, a woman, all he can see in his eyes now is Qin Miao's shortcomings, saying that she spends money like dirt and loves to put on the stinky shelf of the rich."

Chen Yi sighed again, and then fell into silence, I lit a cigarette, and said to Chen Yi: "Maybe you don't know yet, Qiao Ye had a relationship before he married Qin Miao, and he was very affectionate to that woman, but in the end, this relationship was ruined in an arranged marriage, so he was so obsessed, I think with his current mood, it is a matter of time before he divorces Qin Miao." ”

"I think the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, Qiao Ye should have a good chat with that woman, and then untie the knot in his heart for so many years, otherwise he will regret it in the future"

"It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, but there has been no news of that woman since she left Nanjing."

Chen Yi had an incomprehensible expression on his face, and only replied after a long time: "I really don't understand what Qiao Ye is thinking, for a love that is already impossible, to hurt Qin Miao and his family like this, I really hope he won't regret it in the future." ”

"What kind of cause there is, what kind of effect there is, it can't all be said that Qiao Ye is wrong, he is also a victim, he has been under a lot of mental pressure over the years, otherwise he would not have done such an irrational thing."

This night, Chen Yi and I talked for a long time about Qiao Ye, but we didn't say a word about it for so many years, maybe we are all good at being bystanders, but we can't figure out what we are going through, and what kind of summary and reflection should be made in such an experience, especially me, I get along with Chen Yi every day, but I can never muster up the courage to hug her, and then say "I love you" emotionally.

Back at his residence, Qiao Ye was lying on the phone with someone, he happily told the other party about the 350,000 he borrowed, and then talked about his business plan.

I really think he is very pathetic, but I can't tell him the truth about 350,000, because I can foresee that he will definitely go to Qin Miao in anger when he knows the truth, and then there will be another uncontrollable war, so I am willing to let him be a happy fool and enjoy the love that Qin Miao gave him unscrupulously

Lighting the last cigarette before going to bed, I lay on the bed and habitually took my mobile phone to brush today's circle of friends, but found that I couldn't see Xiao Ai's circle of friends, even if I sent her a message, but she had rejected it.

I was a little lost, and I was a little uncomfortable with a woman who was so brave enough to break into my world, and then left my world so suddenly after leaving behind a story that was as tragic as mine.

But should I panic because of this, maybe not, I should learn from Qiao Ye and be a happy fool, because sometimes being sober is the wrong start
