The sequelae of the cold last night began to appear, since Lao Jin left, I not only had some fever, but even my throat was like a fish bone, I took anti-inflammatory drugs, and began to drink boiled water non-stop, and the sky gradually darkened.

I was half lying on the bed like a sick number, and then found a disc from Faye Wong's early days and put it in the record player, I turned on the sound very loudly, only to feel that I disappeared in the psychedelic music, I have no pain, no happiness, and no **, but I live in the sunshine, rain, I don't like to be persistent, and I don't give up lightly

The signal light of the mobile phone flashed for a long time, and I picked it up and looked at it, it was Jin Qiu calling, and after I connected it, I was reprimanded by her for splitting her head and covering my face. It turned out that she knocked on my door for a long time at this moment, but I turned on the music so loudly that I didn't hear it at all, and she was left to dry outside for a long time.

I put on a down jacket and hurried to open the door for Jin Qiu, in order to make her stop reprimanding me, I exaggerated my sick Cheng dù, coughed at her several times in a row, and hummed and chirped

Jin Qiu glared at me, and said dissatisfiedly: "Jiang Qiao, can we not act endlessly, you will be sick if you are sick, why do you turn on the speaker at home like a war?"

I laughed dryly, and coughed again, but this time it was real, and my face was red, and I finally looked sick.

After entering the house, Jin Qiu, a woman who never did housework, helped me clean up the messy table for the first time, and then emptied the cigarette butts from the ashtray into the garbage basket, and then opened the takeaway I bought, which included white rice porridge, a pastry that I liked to eat, and a few boiled eggs that were still steaming.

"Hurry up and eat."

"I don't want to get out of bed, you bring it to me."

Jin Qiu glanced at me and asked dissatisfiedly, "Do you want to rebel and become the emperor?"

"Your Majesty, I don't want to usurp the throne, but I'm a sick person now, can't you be sympathetic to me Jiangqiao, and I've been making cattle and horses for your wedding company for more than 5 years, Majesty, don't you even give the old minister the grace of serving a bowl of rice?"

Jin Qiu couldn't stand my expression, waved her hand to signal me not to say any more, and then brought the rice porridge in front of me, and I coughed at her again, and my saliva came out. I feel that I have a good way of dealing with Jin Qiu, I believe that no man has been able to enjoy my treatment at this time on her, I just like to disgust her so much.

After I drank a few mouthfuls of rice porridge with soybean sauce, I suddenly remembered something I hadn't done today, so I put down the rice bowl in my hand and said to Jin Qiu: "Your Majesty, can you please go to the convenience store outside the alley to buy me a piece of corn, I really want to eat it now, I think it can cure my illness."

"Jiang Qiao, you're still energetic, aren't you?"

I looked in pain, and seeing that a heart-rending cough was about to come, Jin Qiu couldn't wait to lift the bench and smash me. I squinted my eyes and smiled at her again, about playing a scoundrel, I was at my fingertips in front of her, and it was a big deal to beat her, and besides, she was embarrassed to beat me up now, so I was so carried away in a situation where I was sure of winning

I said to Jin Qiu, who was reluctant to take a step, "Can you listen to my advice?"

"If you fart, let it go"

I looked at Jin Qiu, who was made to be hairy by me, with a hippie smile on my face, and replied after a while: "Do you know why your father wants to marry you to me, because in your father's eyes, you are not a woman who lives a life, so he wants to find a man who can take care of you and accommodate you, he mistakenly thinks that I am the most suitable person, alas, a woman, if you lose your woman's nature, let your father such a heart, isn't it unfilial, so, I want to transform you, let you start with such a small thing as running errands, One day you will become a perfect woman both inside and out, and your father will be relieved, but you father and daughter don't have to thank me too much, because I am willing to do these things for you, and your father always asks you to marry me."

Jin Qiu's face was cloudy, she ripped off the mosquito net that I had never removed, and then said angrily: "Jiang Qiao, you go to die, don't worry, even if I marry a pig and serve for the rest of my life, I will not marry you." ”

I desperately tore open the mosquito net covering me, and shouted: "Go, go, hurry up and find a pig to marry, I promise to give you a set of pig nests that are warm in winter and cool in summer as a dowry." ”

"Scum"

As soon as Jin Qiu's words fell, a burst of pain from being hit by a sharp object suddenly came, and then I heard the sound of her slamming the door, I just forced her to be anxious, I am not ashamed, but proud, because it is so rewarding to defeat such a woman, even if it is just this kind of battle of words that cannot be put on the table

I got out of bed, put the mosquito net in the cupboard, put on my down jacket, and went to the convenience store to buy a piece of corn. In addition to Xiao Ai, I also think that this corn tastes good, because every time I eat it, I will think of her standing in front of the convenience store, as if this long winter night has a slight temperature because of the corn in her hand.

Out of the alley, I unexpectedly found that Jin Qiu's car was still parked in the open space. She sat in the car smoking a cigarette, and the windows were only half open, so that half of the light from the street lights fell on the body and half on her face, which made her look lonely, but she didn't know what she was thinking, or missing someone.

I came to the car, the cat waist looked at her, she put out the cigarette that was only half smoked in the ashtray, and then pressed the window to the end, suppressed her temperament and said to me: "Jiang Qiao, you are really capable enough, you are so angry that you forget about business."

"Then you are angry, it's not too late to say now"

Jin Qiu looked at me with a smile and a smile, and said after a while: "I went to your coffee shop to sit for a while, and I understand the situation in the store.

I interrupted Jin Qiu and replied, "I have to run this coffee shop, and I can't live up to my friend's trust." ”

Jin Qiu looked at me with a more and more stern expression, and she said: "Jiangqiao, as a business operator, you must make the sharpest judgment on the business environment you are in. If the coffee shop is operating normally and orderly, then there is no problem, but now the core store manager is leaving, then you have to re-evaluate its value and future prospects. The most important thing is that you are going to work in the wedding industry next year, such a coffee shop with hidden dangers will inevitably distract you a lot, but you don't have a mature team to help you share it, and then those troubles will make it difficult for you to take care of both ends, which you must see in advance I don't want to see you lose a big one."

"I will wait for the coffee shop to stabilize before engaging in the wedding industry, in short, I must keep this shop."

"Why are you so axial, the waves behind have hit, if you don't throw away the burden, go fast, you will really be beaten to death by the big waves My personal judgment, next year's wedding industry will usher in a bottoming rebound, if you miss it, the opportunity will not be there"

"I have made up my mind, don't persuade me, I don't want to be a half-person, let alone an opportunist, I believe that things are done in a down-to-earth manner.

Jin Qiu looked at me with complicated eyes, and after a long time, he replied helplessly: "Jiang Qiao, how can you understand, you are now running this coffee shop, how do you let Qin Miao think about it, she must think that Su Han and Qiao Ye's matter is that you are fanning the flames behind your back, you said that the coffee shop was entrusted to you by Su Han, you can't let it go, isn't Qin Miao your friend, do you have to be so deliberate about her?"

I was a little stunned and asked, "How do you know these things?"

"It's all a circle of friends, it has long been spread, who doesn't know Ah Jiangqiao, I really hope you think about it, no matter what you do in the future, Qin Miao is a foil, there are not many such friends in your network, why do you want to do such a thing that makes her unable to get off the stage, everyone looks up and doesn't look down."

I finally understood, it turned out that Jin Qiu went around in such a big circle, because she didn't want me to lose Qin Miao, a friend who could really make a difference in my career, her original intention was for my good, but I was inexplicably disgusted, why the friendship must be maintained in this way

I have a clear conscience in the matter of Su Han and Qiao Ye, and I didn't do anything wrong, or everyone didn't do anything wrong, what was wrong was only the matter itself, so why should I compromise on it

I smiled disdainfully: "If Qin Miao doesn't even have the most basic trust in me, then there is no need for me to do such a thing to please her, I won't turn the coffee shop." ”

"Jiang Qiao, can you open your proud eyes and take a good look at the world"

"I can't."

Jin Qiu shook her head, she didn't say anything, the next moment she closed the car window and drove to the intersection where she left Tulip Road, and I just stood there with a burst of anger and weakness in my heart

But I don't regret it, I just don't want to be a model of this world, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, walking with a designed pace, walking one show after another that is watched by ruthless people

I went to the convenience store and bought two corns, and I went back to my accommodation. When I ate the corn, I thought of Xiao Ai, who was already far away in Japan, and I promised her that I would keep the matter of her borrowing my money in my heart, so I sent her a message for the first time after she left: "When are you going to pay back my money?"

Xiao Ai didn't reply to my message immediately, I was prepared for this, just eating corn while waiting, but in the process it was all lonely, because there were fewer and fewer people around me who could talk. Perhaps, apart from my grandmother, Xiao Ai is the only woman in the world who is willing to take care of me.

I ate one corn and put the other one in the fridge to save for tomorrow morning, and I went to the cupboard and took out the guitar that Xiao Ai had left for me, but because I was sick, I couldn't make a case for it today.

Stroking the strings, I vaguely remembered that at Yuan Zhen's concert, Xiao Ai used this guitar, and in Lijiang, this guitar was also used, so this should be her belongings, when I was hugged, I felt that she was actually by my side, we just didn't want to talk, so there was silence at this moment.

After sitting quietly for a while, Xiao Ai finally replied to my message, she said, "I don't have any money now, let's wait and talk, okay?"

"Okay, are you comfortable playing in Japan?"

"What are you playing, I'm going to the crew to meet the producer and director today, and they think I'm in line with the character's positioning, so I'm going to participate in this movie."

"Then remember to pay me back when you get the appearance fee, my life in Nanjing is not easy."

"I'm performing for friendship, and I don't have an appearance fee."

"Don't believe it, do you want to rely on it and not pay it back, only big names will perform in friendship, you can't be a little coffee like you"

"I just want to rely on the expression of not smiling evilly, you will suffer in Nanjing first, and when I come back, I will invite you to eat and drink, so that you can live the most luxurious life"

I smiled, didn't care that my throat was still aching, subconsciously took out a cigarette from the cigarette case at hand and lit it, and hurriedly pressed it when I reacted, and then smirked at the phone screen, but I didn't know what to reply.

After a while, he picked up on her words and asked, "Then when will you come back?"

"I don't know, depending on the filming progress, it should be after the year."

I didn't like this boring question-and-ask dialogue, and asked, "You don't have any experience as an actor, can you control the role?"

She didn't seem to be bored, and patiently replied: "Do you forget that I studied music performance, music performance includes musical theater performance, I have no experience in acting in movies, but I have stage experience and actor experience." ”

I was thinking about the next question, maybe I thought about it for a long time, and Xiao Ai asked me in turn: "Did you go to the convenience store today?"

"No, no, I don't go except to buy cigarettes."

"Hehe, I believe you."

I finally went back to bed, and then half-lying, but I didn't rush to send a message to Xiao Ai, I was thinking about some of my thoughts, and what Ji Xiaowei said to me in the afternoon.

He said that if Xiao Ai could be with Yuan Zhen, then the world would be too beautiful. I replied "yes", some things are like a mirror in my heart, but I never understand what kind of feelings I have for Xiao Ai.

At this moment, I don't think that I have come out of the unforgettable heart with Chen Yi, because I still think of her after drinking, and then there is a tearing pain, and Xiao Ai's appearance only relieves this pain for me, she is a woman who will bring me a lot of happiness.

However, if I imagine that Yuan Zhen took the opportunity to be with her near the water, I would be very disappointed in my heart.

I wondered if I was a man who could love two women at the same time, and whether that meant that I would be criticized by a bunch of saints as amorous

I laughed, I care what those people do, I just follow my heart, it will one day point me in the right direction, just like I won't compromise for the sake of my friendship with Qin Miao
