I took the phone from Su Han's hand, and I wanted to see her more clearly in the photo. Maybe it's because I haven't seen her for a long time, she looks a lot stranger, but the only thing that makes me feel familiar is the white scarf she wrapped around her neck, which I once bought with her at a shopping mall at the Confucius Temple in Nanjing......

The picture is cold, and she is crouching on the ground, feeding the white dove, which seems to be close at hand, but too far away to touch.

After staring at it for a long time, I finally returned the phone to Su Han, and then said to her, "You can send me a copy of this photo...... I don't mean anything else, I just want to keep it as a souvenir. ”

"Hmm."

At this time, another red light turned into a green light, I started the car again, and drove towards the center of the city, I thought I wouldn't ask Su Han anything again, but when I was about to reach the destination, I still couldn't help but ask her: "On the day we met, did you leave each other's contact information?" ”

"It was impossible, and the day after she left, I left Rome with the child, because I was afraid that she would tell you the news of me, and you would tell Qiao Ye again...... However, now it seems that I am overly worried, it turns out that she, like me, is also hiding from domestic life and some people. ”

I exhaled softly, with an indescribable disappointment in my heart, but finally smiled and said, "Actually, I should look away, because I can confirm from you that her eyes have recovered, and this is already the best news...... In the days to come, they will be fine. ”

"It's not what you're talking about, you're still waiting for her to come back."

"Yes...... I've been waiting for her to come back in my dreams, but sometimes I don't know what the point of waiting is, we're not on the same road! ”

Su Han nodded deeply with feeling, and then replied: "If you can't be together, it's best not to have anything involved." Otherwise, just like me and Qiao Ye, we have been procrastinating and entangled for so many years, but who can really get happiness from it? ”

"I understand."

As I spoke, I sent Su Han to her destination, and when I said goodbye, she said to me meaningfully: "The true meaning of love is definitely not deep love, although I haven't really understood it yet, but if I have another chance to choose...... I would rather stay in Nanjing, find an ordinary man, and live an ordinary life...... After going through so much, I realized how much I longed for a stable and warm family, and wandering is the most miserable thing in the world. ”

"Actually, you still have a chance to choose again."

"No, I don't have a choice, just like Qin Miao can only choose to take the child from me, if she can still have children, she may choose to let me go, but she has no second choice now, so there is an inextricable knot between me and her...... But this time, I won't be afraid, and I won't let her go again. ”

I was silent for a long time before I nodded, and then replied: "It's not convenient for those of us who are friends to interfere too much in this matter, but if you have any trouble in life, call me at any time, and I will definitely do my best." ”

"Thank you."

……

After saying goodbye to Su Han this time, she didn't go to the bar to look for me again, and I also passed calmly for a while, until the New Year, I was just busy with things in the bar and the hotel, and I was not distracted by other things.

When she contacted me a few days ago, she made it clear that she wanted to go back to Shenzhen to celebrate the New Year with Yang Jin and her father, so I drove Jin Qiu's car to her school at noon, ready to send her to the airport and leave Shanghai by plane at half past two in the afternoon.

I parked my car off-campus and smoked while waiting for her to pack her bags. In fact, in the past four months, I have not come to this school very diligently, not because I still have prejudices about Yang Qu, but because I don't want to see these fashionably dressed and young and beautiful students. I always think of the days when I used to wait for Xiao Ai at the gate of the South Art School, which was also an art school, and it was also a circle full of flashiness, but there was no longer the woman who gave me a lot of hope like a clear spring and pursued pure art.

Yes, I still can't get out of the shadow of her leaving, I kind of hate her, hate her choices, and this hatred gradually wears me out, so many occasions that can bring me memories, I try to avoid as much as possible.

After a while, Yang Qu finally dragged his colorful suitcase and walked towards me in the crowd. In the afternoon sun, her serious appearance without squinting almost made me believe that she was not a tease, and that she was really followed by several male students who were dedicating.

I smiled, more convinced of the multifaceted nature of people. Perhaps, in the eyes of those male students, she is just like Xiao Ai in the past, tall and beautiful, as for the truth, the ghost knows.

Yang Qu stopped in front of me, and after coldly driving away those male classmates, she instantly regained her stubborn nature. She handed me the box in her hand, stretched out her hand to me and said, "Brother, I don't have any money, hurry up and give me another 5,000 yuan." ”

I knocked her hand off and replied coldly: "I've only heard of the pit father, but not the pit brother...... I've been cheated by you for half a year, so please raise your noble hand and change someone? …… If you only pick a sheep wool like this, you either lack heart or have a low IQ! ”

Yang Qu looked at me with a "small sample, you are too tender" expression, and then replied: "Look at your hairless appearance, I don't want to say that you have no knowledge...... If my dad thinks like you, the two of you will definitely have to hug and cry when you meet...... I can tell you with certainty now that the little money I cheated on you was not even a fraction of what he did, and of course he was much more generous than you. ”

"It is his responsibility to raise you, why should I be cheated by you?"

"The eldest brother is like a father, so your status in my heart is equal to him, today I pit him 10,000, tomorrow I will pit you 8,000."

"Hehe, don't dare to compare with your father...... I can give you the 5,000 yuan, but you have to give me a convincing reason first, after all, I earn all my hard-earned money, not as good as your parents, who are capitalists who suck people's sweat. As I spoke, I put the suitcase into the trunk of the car for Yang Qu.

Yang Qu grabbed me, laughed twice with bad intentions, and then said: "The most important thing I lack as a person is a reason, you wait, I'll find one at my fingertips...... Belch...... I don't want to go back to Shenzhen for the Chinese New Year this year, I'm going to Nanjing to spend the Chinese New Year with you...... I'm doing this because I'm worried you're alone. Do you think, in the future, I will be the kind of first-line actress who will be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for acting in a TV series, but this year's entire winter vacation will give you this brother, and you will ask for 5,000 yuan as living expenses, which is not too much, right? ”

"Wake up, it's better to dream a little smaller, first mix well until graduation, and don't stab Lou Zi in the middle."

Yang Qu took my arm again and said, "Okay, okay, I just don't want to go back to Shenzhen, who knows if they will have any temporary work arrangements on the 30th night, and then leave me alone at home for the New Year...... So brother, take me back to Nanjing, you don't know, how much I like your sullen brother, I can spend a year with you, it's something I've been thinking about for almost two weeks. ”

This is Yang Qu's usual little trick, and I replied to her unmoved: "If I'm not mistaken, aren't your grandparents also in Shenzhen, it's better to celebrate the New Year with them than with me, my halfway brother, right?" ”

"Come on, I don't like to celebrate the New Year with the old cadres, so I reported to the Shanghai Theater Academy without authorization, which is enough for them to nag endlessly. And, I'm afraid you don't know it yet...... Except for my grandmother, no one in the family is waiting to see our mother, and as for the reason, I don't say you know. ”

Yang Qu's seemingly childish words made me fall into silence, and I seemed to see the grievances and grievances between the previous generations again. It's just that what I didn't expect was that after so many years, Yang Jin had not been able to repair her relationship with her family. Come to think of it, her decision to marry Jiang Jiyou without authorization touched the bottom line of this cadre family...... From this point of view, it is not easy for her, she seems to have chosen love, but she betrayed her relatives, and in the end she failed to get happiness from her marriage with Jiang Jiyou, only an unlucky son like me.

I looked at Yang Qu and said to her after a long time: "I have no objection to you going to Nanjing for the New Year, but this matter must be agreed by your parents first." Also, don't get me in trouble, because I've had enough trouble in Nanjing! ”

Yang Qu almost cheered, but my emotions were still a little out of the conversation just now. For the first time, I had essential doubts about my relationship with Xiao Ai.

In the past, were we following the old path of Yang Jin and Jiang Jiyou? And breaking up is the choice that is responsible for each other?

I don't dare to give myself an answer easily! I just feel that if a breakup can make two people live better, it is not a wrong choice!

……

It had been snowing for two days in a row, and it hadn't melted yet, and the old factory, which had been renamed the "Dream Tree", was still white, especially the giant guitar-shaped landscape lamp next to the parking lot, which looked like an object that had fallen from a fairy tale book.

While I parked the car, two other cars drove into the yard, and then I saw Jin Qiu step out of the silver-gray Buick GL8 business car that led the way. Immediately, another film crew walked out with her, along with a young man and woman in a gown and wedding dress.

Yang Qu and I both looked at us a little unclearly, but Jin Qiu didn't rush to explain to us, she arranged those people in an orderly manner before she came to my side, smiled and asked, "Do you really want to know the origin of these people?" ”

I nodded with Yang Qu.

Jin Qiu turned around and looked at the film crew who was busy filming before replying: "I made the decision on my own initiative, but I don't think it's a bad thing, and I've always had this idea before, so I picked a good day today to practice." ”

After a slight pause, she said: "After four months of development, our dream tree has many commendable small landscapes, such as Yangqu's milk tea cabin, such as another customer's lost bus, as well as pink cigarette cases, Time Post Office...... Since these things have been built into our Dream Tree, it is my duty as the Operations Director of Dream Tree to tap into their potential business value and then give them back to our customers...... Based on this starting point, I plan to develop new profitable projects, so I plan to make this a wedding photography base, and these small landscapes are the best backdrop for shooting...... If more people join our Dream Tree team in the coming year, I believe Dream Tree will definitely be able to occupy a place in Shanghai's huge wedding photography market...... And that's why I came to Shanghai. ”

After Jin Qiu expressed his thoughts in detail, Yang Qu and I couldn't help but open our mouths!

Jin Qiu, this woman, is simply a business genius, this is not boasting. She first leased the land of the "Dream Tree" in the form of units to the playful and dreamy children of rich families like Yang Qu, so that they could create freely here. They then used their creation to turn it into a large wedding photography base, and not only did we not add any additional costs, but we also made a lot of rent. What's more, this business idea of hers creates a future with endless possibilities for the "dream tree...... She is so powerful, and her execution is one of the best, otherwise how could she have completed such a sophisticated business layout in just four months?

In the face of the surprise Yang Qu and me, Jin Qiu didn't say anything special, she just smiled and replied: "I'll talk to you later, but now I have to entertain customers, I hope they can shoot a satisfactory result here and be a good start." ”

……

After Jin Qiu left, Yang Qu and I also chatted privately, and she said to me with an exaggerated expression: "Brother, I don't know if you feel like this, I really think that Sister Jin Qiu is a non-human!" The scariest thing about her is not her business logic, but her execution. In the case that no one supported her, she made this project quietly, and it also gave people a natural pleasure, not only did there be no deliberate ingredients, but also made money in minutes, and more importantly, the future! …… If more people come to Dream Tree to create their own dreams in the future, this place will definitely be popular because of these countless small landscapes...... Perhaps, it won't be long before you feel that this worthless wasteland is not enough! ”

I nodded, and then replied: "You also have a lot of credit, if you hadn't brought those classmates who are the children of rich families here to realize their dreams and become the first batch of pioneers, Jin Qiu's plan would only be to have rice without cooking." ”

Yang Qu felt that the value of his life had been realized, and immediately asked with a smile: "Brother, can I say that sometimes a person's success depends on what kind of people he (she) has around him?" Like you...... If it weren't for Qiao Ye, a wronged investor, this land would have been barren a long time ago, right? How could it be as full of life as it is now! ”

Looking at Yang Qu who lost his mind because he got carried away, I didn't feel disgusted because I didn't agree, and even thought about it carefully, I did thank Qiao Ye for his blessing, but this success is not just so simple, it is a team cohesion, and no one can do without it. So, I prefer to believe that this is the chemistry that occurs when dreams collide with dreams.
