That night, Jia Yi came to Gao Qu's house to be surprised, it was in a small retro building with gray stone walls, only two floors, Gao Qu lived on the second floor, and the first floor was a simple dental clinic, and only during the day was occupied.

Even though there was no one at the time, the neon sign of the dentistry was still very eye-catching, and Gao Qu said that it was only at night that anyone knew that there was a dental clinic here.

Jia Yi smiled and followed him into the house.

This was the first time Jia Yi had seen Gao Qu's private residence, simple and neat, as if it had been cleaned up in advance, but she preferred to believe that this was a good quality of the man himself, after all, he was a busy man who took the time to tidy up for her arrival-she really didn't dare to look forward to it.

In the small living room, there is a square high table, scattered with a few IKEA stools, a TV covered with openwork lace and a stereo standing next to it, behind them is a huge bookshelf, and you can vaguely glimpse the bedroom integrated with the study, and she has to be surprised that the kitchen and bathroom are stuffed in this not very big room.

"Your house isn't very big!" Jia Yi remembered the last time she was complained by Gao Qu that the room was too small.

Gao Qu smiled, did not speak, and suddenly opened the curtain on one side, and a huge balcony appeared in front of her.

It was a balcony with almost no fences, and the cement clearing twice the size of the room was barren in the smell of fireworks, much like the roofs of those people in the countryside who dried their things, but this is indeed a roof, after all, there are only two floors here, but unlike those small rural buildings, its scenery is not very good, surrounded by a forest of high-rise buildings, making this small building look like it is being watched by countless tall buildings.

Jia Yi's mouth was open, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's not too small, is it?" Gao Qu was obviously very proud.

Jia Yi nodded.

"Do you like it?"

"Loved it, it was really great! But wouldn't it be too traditional, I have the illusion of going back to the 80s......"

"It's really a bit more traditional around these high-rise buildings." There was a sadness in Gao Qu's words, the kind of sadness that did not fit his age and identity.

"But most of the high-rise buildings in N City were built by the Sheng family, right?" Jia Yi quipped.

"Not only that, but most of the buildings here have passed through my hands...... Gao Qu laughed, and said: "Seeing the reinforced concrete buildings rising from the ground, I miss this kind of traditional dwelling, but I have taken a lot of effort to keep such a one." ”

"Are you going to live too divisively? While advocating commercial housing to the public, while nostalgic for this small stone building? ”

Gao Qu smiled and shook his head, took out a few cans of Budweiser from the refrigerator, opened one of the cans and handed it to her, lowered his head to open the other can, took a sip, and said: "Where do you still need to advocate the current housing prices, I just do a job, it doesn't represent my attitude towards life." ”

He held up his beer and tried to clink glasses with her, but she was clearly still immersed in his sentence "work is not a way of life", and did not respond.

He had to take the initiative to touch the beer can, and then she felt the liquid in her hand shake violently.

"Since work and life are so contradictory, why don't you think about ......"

Don't think about being like her, quitting and leaving, starting over? But she didn't say any more, and she soon realized that what she had done was not clever at all.

Gao Qu continued her words and said, "Because I don't have a dream, it doesn't matter." He smiled very palely and said, "I actually admire you very much, when I first saw you, you were so cold, and the next day you argued with me to open a shop......

Jia Yi remembered the scene when the two of them quarreled at the dinner table when they first met, and her face unconsciously began to flush, as if she had turned into a big blush.

Gao Qu knew that this was not the effect of alcohol, and laughed contentedly.

"I said that I only talked about reality with you, so I don't want to tell you that opening a store is actually my dream, and it is my inner pseudo-literary and artistic feelings that are overflowing! Opening a store is my way of living, just like making money to eat. After she finished speaking, she poured half of the wine violently, and shouted again: "Grinding reality, go to death!" ”

Gao Qu smiled, he wanted to touch this stubborn woman beside him, he knew that she must have a lot of stories, but he couldn't touch them, he couldn't ask - he wasn't sure if he wanted to know about this woman's past, what if it was sad?

If that's the case, he knows that he'll be uncomfortable too, because he can always feel the pain in her, and he can't control it at all.

"If there is wine, there should be a story, let's talk about you and Luo Ting!" Jia Yi looked at him and said.

"What do I have to say, don't you know?"

"Luo Ting isn't just one of your ex-girlfriends, right?" Jia Yi teased him.

Gao Qu didn't reply for a while, just smiled, squeaked the empty can in his hand, threw it into the trash can again, turned around and took a bottle of red wine, and walked out of the balcony, where there was a stove, a few stools, and a huge blanket in the cement clearing.

Gao Qu dusted off the blanket and handed it to Jia Yi, while he sat directly on the stool, and while he made a charcoal fire in the stove, he continued to talk about his past with Luo Ting.

He was born in a medical family, his father is a famous doctor in N City, but because of some man-made reasons, he failed to enter the hospital in the city as a professional doctor, so he planned to open a small clinic at home with his mother, and it happened that his father had a classmate friend, and he entered the hospital on the top of his father's quota. The two have more opportunities to get in touch.

Luo Ting's calm elegance in his bones made Gao Qu very fascinated in the years in a foreign country, and the two soon got together, but after talking for a long time, Luo Ting returned to China because of her family, and got a good job opportunity with her education and her father's relationship in the hospital, and she entered the stable system so quickly, which really caught him off guard.

Gao Qu said, and after a while, the charcoal in the stove was on fire, and the fiery red light covered the black body layer by layer from the inside out, and Jia Yi felt that the warmth that came up from the soles of her feet made her feel as if the whole city was lit up.

Gao Qu was half of his face reflected by the charcoal fire, and continued: "During that time, I had no plans, I ended my studies early and returned to China, and I also tried a few jobs, but I quickly resigned. Love is not just because of liking each other, but also needs a lot of things to match each other, she and I are so strong, but I was not strong enough to match ambition, and my mentality was unbalanced for a long time, and it happened that the family knew about my relationship with her, and intended to let us get married as soon as possible, she decisively refused, I was deeply hit in my heart, very negative, and soon we broke up. ”

"I want to continue to go abroad, but my aunt asked me to go to Anke, I know that I will go to Anke after all, but I don't know that it turned out to be so fast, let me enter Anke without experience, that is a thing that even I am afraid of, I really want to sue Luo Ting, but I am afraid that she will be the first person to mock me."

"She always thought I was vulgar, smelled of copper, and didn't look like a doctor's child...... She's going to throw cold water on me, but I can't hear it. Gao Qu smiled bitterly and drank, sip after sip.

Gao Qu still refused his aunt's arrangement, he didn't know how much of it was because of Luo Ting's opinion of him, in short, that day he suddenly felt that he knew what he was going to do.

He said: "I have to prove something at least, so I asked my aunt to promise me to start from the grassroots level, transferred to the Sheng real estate where Anke has shares, I heard that the industry is the most temperable, and then step by step to now, becoming the vice president of Sheng is always the last answer I want to give to them, if I can be the vice president, then even if I parachute into Anke, it will not be so unconfident." ”

Jia Yi kept looking at him, like listening to a boy talk about his childish upbringing, and like watching the vicissitudes of a man, and she didn't realize that this kind of ups and downs came from the alternating motherhood and girlish heart in her own body.

"And what do you want to prove?" Jia Yi asked.

"Prove that I am capable, prove that I am not unworthy of her, unworthy of the son of a doctor!"

"What a stupid ......" Jia Yi blurted out, without mercy.

Gao Qu didn't get angry at all, but followed her and said, "Yes, it's so stupid...... If I ever had a dream, then Luo Ting was once my dream, a seemingly hopeless but always exciting existence......"

"Looks like you really love her......" Jia Yi looked at his slightly drunk face, as if looking at herself.

"I don't deny that I once loved it deeply, but now I definitely can't think so naively, work is a responsibility, the responsibility of protecting my family, and the responsibility of repaying my aunt."

Jia Yi did have reason to believe that he was telling the truth, because when he talked about his family, his face was happy, and his deep eyes revealed not the mystery and distance of the past, but shallow and clear happiness.

It turns out that no matter how powerful a person is, he is like a child when he talks about his family, which makes Jia Yi very emotional, she sighed and said: "Your family must be very happy!" At least happier than her family, she felt a dull pain in her heart, thinking of something.

"Perhaps, some people say they are happy, others say they are unhappy......"

"Why?" She thought she was somehow similar to Gao Qucun.

"Because my grandfather's family was once the richest man in N City, who would have thought that his eldest daughter would marry a poor doctor?" Gao Qu raised his head and looked at the night sky, his slightly drunk face was clearly smiling, like envy, and like pious gratitude.

"It turns out that your background is such a legend, I thought you were ......" Jia Yi laughed and didn't continue.

"Why?" Gao Qu asked.

Jia Yi shook her head again and again, shook the beer in her hand, and kept silent.

"Say, why do you ......?"

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Say it or not......"

Gao Qu gradually approached her, approaching...... The two bodies were almost touching each other, Jia Yi's squinting eyes suddenly widened, Gao Qu immediately stopped the car, he knew how sensitive the person in front of him was to heterosexual contact, and he didn't dare to lean down anymore, only to see Jia Yi open his lips slightly.

"Uh-" She burped at him.

Hahahaha......
